After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

The holy place for all living beings, Linchuan Palace.

A long table was filled with delicious food, and the heat was filled with warmth.

The girls sat around the table, their faces filled with unconcealable joy and anticipation. The dissipation of the gray mist silently announced that Lin Chuan's return was approaching. This expectation made everyone's eyes glitter with emotion.

"Sisters, eat more. Don't wait for Qin Lang to come back and see that you have lost weight. He will say that I have treated you unfairly and will come back to blame me."

Qing Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip, a gentle smile on her lips, and her eyes slowly swept over the women sitting around.

"You had a heavy burden on your shoulders before, so I didn't mind you calling us sister. What? Now that the fog has dissipated, are you still planning to keep calling us sister?" Xu Hanyi put down her chopsticks and narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"The winner takes it all?" Qing Shu raised her eyebrows.

"Don't bully the weak." Xu Hanyi said lightly.

"I thought my sister's courage was about the same as your capital." Qingshu looked straight at Xu Hanyi.

Xu Hanyi was not willing to be outdone and met Qingshu's gaze.

"Son!"

"Achuan!"

At this moment, Jiang Wanying and Qiu suddenly looked outside the door with surprise on their faces.

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Hanyi and Qing Shu immediately smiled gently. They turned their heads to look outside the door, but saw only empty air.

It wasn't until a burst of laughter came from beside them that the two came to their senses. The gentleness on their faces faded instantly, and they turned to the originator of the laughter with an expressionless face.

"Sister...sister, I was wrong!"

"Master...Master, please spare my life!"

……

After dinner, the women left in groups of two or three. However, they had already naturally divided into small groups in private over the past few days.

"Liyue, since Chuan'er is coming back soon, there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

Xu Hanyi held Jiang Wanying's hand, his eyes falling on Li Yue, who was sitting beside him with her head down in deep thought, as if she was worried about something.

"what?"

Li Yue suddenly snapped out of her fantasy of meeting Lin Chuan, her cheeks still flushed. She quickly raised her head and replied, "Go ahead."

"What happened in the past is in the past. Now that Chuan'er is coming back, we have to unite as one. Do you understand?"

Xu Hanyi spoke in an earnest tone, looking straight at Li Yue.

"I know...I know."

Li Yue nodded gently, "No matter what happens, I will definitely stand by you."

"I trust you very much, but..."

Xu Hanyi's tone deepened slightly, with a hint of gloom, "You'd better not do anything secretly without telling me."

"How...how could it be?"

Li Yue smiled a little sheepishly, as if feeling a little embarrassed, and then turned around and warned: "Xu Hanyi, you are not allowed to sneak around!"

……

Such scenes of mutual consultation and alliance formation are now quietly unfolding in various small groups. The promises they make to each other are nothing more than "sharing happiness" and "uniting as one."

Outside the fairyland, a vast and boundless starry sky stretches to the endless distance, and the stars are like broken silver dotting the deep sky.

Lin Chuan stood quietly in the void, his gaze fixed on the large formation in front of him. It was the formation he had set up with his own hands in order to delay another force that was secretly coveting the fairyland.

At this moment, looking at the outline of the flowing array pattern, a sense of uneasiness in his heart quietly surged, lingering in his mind, unable to be shaken off.

It's been so long, why are you still hesitant to take action? Are you really afraid of yourself?

His gaze penetrated the endless sea of ​​stars and finally settled on a distant world.

There, a woman with blonde hair and a proud figure was also looking at him across the endless sea of ​​stars.

"It's been a long time since we last met. My fellow Daoist is still as charming as ever." The woman's spiritual thoughts came across the endless sea of ​​stars.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Fellow Daoist, you've been keeping me awake and unable to eat or sleep." Lin Chuan said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist, that battle was so tumultuous that I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

Before the woman finished her words, she moved slightly and took a step forward. In just a few breaths, she had crossed the endless sea of ​​stars and arrived in front of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan looked at the woman coldly without saying a word.

"Don't worry. If I had any ideas about the origin of your world, I would have taken action when you were reincarnated." The woman said softly with a faint smile.

"If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

Lin Chuan's tone remained cold, and the vigilance in his eyes remained unchanged.

"No matter what, fellow Daoist has owed me a favor. Do you really want to be so distant with me?" The woman narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"..."

Lin Chuan stared at her in silence for a long time before he slowly spoke, "What do you want, fellow Daoist?"

"How about coming with me for a cup of tea?" The woman's smile deepened.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin-Yang patterns began to flow under Lin Chuan's feet, and black and white lights intertwined. In just a moment, the two of them stepped from the vast starry sky into a world of only black and white.

"I haven't seen anyone practicing this Yin-Yang Dao for a long time."

The woman sat at the table, her eyes fixed on Lin Chuan who was making tea, with a look that was somewhat complex and difficult to discern.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever seen other people practicing the Yin-Yang Dao?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyes and looked at the woman. Although his tone was calm, he could not hide a hint of inquiry.

"Fellow Daoist, just call me Youhuan."

A fleeting trace of sadness crossed You Huan's face, and her voice softened a bit: "The last person I saw who practiced the Yin-Yang Dao was my husband."

Lin Chuan paused for a moment with the teacup in his hand and asked, "Then he..."

"He went out to look for a way to ascend to the level of Immortal Emperor and has not returned yet."

Youhuan sighed softly, with an indescribable sense of melancholy in his voice.

"Above the Immortal Emperor..."

A barely perceptible hint of hesitation flashed across Lin Chuan's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think about the realm above the Immortal Emperor?" Youhuan's gaze fell on Lin Chuan's face.

"I just broke through to the Immortal Emperor not long ago. If you know anything, please enlighten me."

"I just recently achieved the Immortal Emperor level. If you know anything, please feel free to enlighten me."

As Lin Chuan spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured Youhuan a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

"Fellow Daoist, you should have discovered that for a cultivator, relying on the destiny to become an Immortal Emperor is actually like wearing an invisible shackle." Youhuan's eyes fell on the tea leaves floating in the cup.

Lin Chuan nodded slowly. He himself broke through the shackles and became the Immortal Emperor by relying on his own great way, and You Huan in front of him was obviously taking the same path.

"The realm above the Immortal Emperor requires the world to complete." Youhuan put down the teacup and said solemnly.

"I see……"

Lin Chuan sighed softly. Previously, when he was exploring the way forward beyond the Immortal Emperor, it was like walking in thick fog. Although he could glimpse a hazy outline, he could never see it clearly. Now, when he heard these words, he felt as if the fog in his heart suddenly cleared away, and everything became clear.

"If the Immortal Emperors who bear the Mandate of Heaven wish to open the door to the realm above Immortal Emperor, they can only rely on the outer world. Therefore, they often choose to plunder the essence of other worlds to strengthen their own outer world and achieve a qualitative leap in their realm."

"As for the Immortal Emperors who have not received the Mandate of Heaven, although they are not bound by shackles, the road ahead is more difficult. If they want to break through, they need to open up an inner world within themselves. Only when the laws of this inner world are complete and truly formed, can they rely on their own strength to enter that higher realm." Youhuan explained slowly.

"..."

Lin Chuan tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was carefully deducing the pros and cons of the two ways to break through.

After pondering for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at You Huan, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "Fellow Daoist You Huan, do you know how to open up a world within your body?"

"If I knew, do you think I would still be in the same Immortal Emperor realm with you?"

You Huan rolled his eyes at Lin Chuan, then pondered for a moment before saying, "However, there is indeed a rumor circulating about the method of opening up the inner world, but..."

Lin Chuan fixed his gaze on You Huan, quietly waiting for her next words.

"This secret was told to me by my husband before he left. Now that he hasn't returned yet, it's probably because..."

Youhuan sighed softly, his voice filled with an indelible sense of melancholy.

She paused for a moment, then looked up at Lin Chuan, her eyes gradually filled with tender affection. "I see the shadow of my husband in you. Would you be willing to become my Taoist partner and explore the secrets above the Immortal Emperor together?"

Lin Chuan: “???”

"It's alright if you don't want to, just consider it a joke."

Seeing Lin Chuan looking at her with a somewhat strange expression, You Huan's cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly lowered her head to avoid his gaze and continued softly, "There is a treasure in this world called the World Seed. It is said that cultivators bury it in their Dantian and nurture it with their own avenue. When it breaks out of its shell and grows into a World Tree, they can then use their own avenue as a sacrifice to successfully open up a small world within their body."

"But this is just a rumor that my husband accidentally heard back then. Whether it's true or not, I have no way of telling. After all, I have never seen a world seed."
