Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Time flies like a horse galloping past the window.

Time flies, and nearly two years have passed.

Even after the calamity, the Jade Capital remains unchanged.

For the clans in each state, the world after the calamity seemed not much different from the world before the calamity.

However, those who were once here have passed away during the calamity, and the fellow Daoists of the past seem like a dream or a bubble.

Liyan, Puti, Nanxian, and Baiyu are all examples of the birth of new Eight Paths.

The Nangong clan of Zhongzhou vanished without a trace.

The incense at the Bodhi Holy Land is becoming increasingly strong.

In the Purple Azure Mystic Domain of Thunder Emperor State, a Celestial Lord emerged, known to the world as Thunder Venerable, and took over the Purple Azure Sword Pavilion, becoming its patriarch.

This year.

Chen Changsheng, one of the Nine Swords cultivators of Yongning, finally attained the Dao and became a deity, and joined Lanqingji.

At Ziyang Slope in the State of Chu, a woman with the Golden Elixir was passing by with two other girls when Pang Zhen caught them red-handed.

Overseas cultivators admire Zhuohua.

Chu Hongning's real mother.

The two girls she brought back... one was her sister who had been traveling with her husband all these years, and she was similar to Lin Xiaoxiao.

The other is the youngest daughter born in the family over the years, Hong Ning's half-sister...

However, these are matters within these states.

However, none of this had much to do with Zhao Qing and his group.

Communication within and outside the state was cut off.

Zhao Qing only obtained some information from Sister Zhang through the directional jade talisman.

……

Beyond the borders, the vast ocean stretches out.

Countless floating islands, an endless desolate land.

Zhao Qing came from Qionghai and has been searching for two years. Now he has stepped into the real wilderness.

The spiritual energy is scarce, and the path to immortality is fading.

Often, when he scanned with his divine sense, he couldn't even see the shadow of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In an old place where spiritual energy is extremely scarce and the lineage of immortal cultivation has been severed.

A martial artist born with innate talent has already reached their limit upon entering the Qi Refining stage.

Between the vast sky and the boundless sky.

For several months in a row, no flying boats were seen at all.

Now, the small silver boat floating in the sky is like a silver leaf in the world... drifting alone.

The small boat restriction has been lifted.

There was no one on the boat, either in front or behind.

The room, less than three zhang in size, was simply furnished.

On the zither table were a dressing mirror and several jade slips.

Several girls' jewelry and bracelets were scattered by the window.

Around a small tea table, the cushions on the rug were in disarray.

Bed.

Zhao Qing leaned against the headboard, examining Fang Ying's jade talisman, while Xi'er's delicate body pressed against the wooden wall, quietly keeping him company.

Beside the bed, Ningmei lay lazily hugging her knees, muttering in surprise with a slightly dazed expression, "Really dead?"

"Hmm... According to Shi Qi's inquiry, when he was captured, he deliberately took advantage of the chaos to seek revenge."

"To perish together with our enemies in the calamity..."

Zhao Qing spoke softly, his expression not particularly complex, but rather somewhat wistful...

"Including his two close female confidantes, they also perished."

Two close female friends?

hiss--

Ningmei was taken aback. Her delicate eyebrows trembled slightly, revealing no emotion, but she did not appear too upset on the surface.

At this moment, he pressed further, "What is my mother's current cultivation level?"

Hear this.

Zhao Qing frowned slightly and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Ye Xi glanced at the communication jade talisman and gracefully bent down to stay close to Senior Sister Hong Ning...

"In the early stage of the Golden Elixir, one has just attained the Qi and Shenhua (spiritual essence)."

“My father-in-law has profound cultivation. He obtained a great opportunity in his early years and was already a Nascent Soul more than ten years ago... The two women who died with him at that time were also Nascent Soul cultivators from overseas.”

Lemon Girl: ...

Upon hearing news of her biological father, she couldn't help but fall into a brief silence.

Although I had expected it, I still felt a moment of confusion.

She's been like that since she can remember.

My father, whom I've never met, has been gone for forty or fifty years.

The next time I heard the news, he was already gone.

Moreover... besides his mother and Xiaoxiao, he has also found three concubines for himself over the years, and had a younger sister.

Now only Mother has returned with a young girl and her younger sister.

Hong Ning sighed softly, took Xi'er's arm, and leaned slightly to take the message from Zhao Qing's hand to check it.

Ok……

Um……?

There was also a concubine, a seductress from overseas, who ran away when her father went to seek revenge.

She frowned slightly and gave a casual, venting snort: "You worthless wretch."

Ye Xi stood silently by, gazing at the scene as if she were experiencing the same thing herself, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions as she gently pursed her lips.

On the contrary, it seemed that Ningmei didn't seem to be grieving much...

Zhao Qing sighed and pondered for a moment: "Then send a message to Senior Sister, telling her that Shi Qi is currently cultivating in the Blood God Palace."

"Pick up your two mothers-in-law and head to the Chu family in Jiuxuan Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Hong Ning frowned slightly and said softly, "Let him die if he's dead... I'm worried about Xiao Xiao..."

"Lin Xiaoxiao waited for him for decades—"

Ningmei's words grew increasingly angry, her eyebrows furrowed in fury, making it difficult to discern whether she was grieving or furious.

Like a woman in unrequited love, Lin Xiaoxiao raised a man's daughter for decades, only to end up like this...

Her slender fingers were unusually stiff as she stared silently at the communication jade talisman.

After a long time.

I didn't send any messages to say anything.

Instead, she tossed the jade talisman back and said softly to Zhao Qing, "Husband, please make arrangements as you see fit. Ning'er, please rest for a while."

"Um--"

Zhao Qing nodded and gently stroked Ning Mei's hair to comfort her.

He took a deep breath: "Let's go back to the secret realm together."

"Let's go."

The Heavenly Evolution Chart was then hung in the small pavilion of this flying boat.

only.

In the past two years, Zhao Qing has only been in and out of prison three times.

Most of them were Shuyue and her friends, who often went out together to stroll around Huawai.

Ye Xi raised her beautiful eyes slightly and said softly and obediently, "Xi'er is outside on the boat."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Ningmei immediately composed herself, forced a smile, and glanced at Ye Xi: "Tell Senior Sister Bian to come out and stay for a while."

"Zhao Qing and the Empress are exchanging their souls this time, let's go with them and see what happens."

Zhao Qing, with his arm around Ning Mei's slender waist, felt somewhat uncomfortable. In this situation, only Shu Yue could comfort Ning Mei and help her calm down...

He knew that Ningmei wasn't exactly heartbroken, but that sense of bewilderment and confusion wouldn't subside anytime soon.

……

soon.

Whale Girl was then sent out of the secret realm by Shuyue to replace Zhao Qingyu.

The girl was of average appearance, but lately, after hanging out with Si He, her face was practically screaming "I'm giving up."

She casually snatched the jade talisman from Zhao Qing's hand.

Lazy, she lay down on the bed, still warm from the man's touch, and while checking Zhao Qing and Jin Yi's messages, she grumbled disdainfully, "Why isn't Jin Yi replying to me?"

Zhao Qing smiled.

"You don't have anything important to ask, and she's busy, why would she reply to you?"

talking.

He snatched the jade talisman back from the whale girl's small hand, and together with Ningmei and Ye Xi, disappeared from the small pavilion, where they were taken into the secret realm of the illustrated book by Shuyue...

The vast ocean stretches endlessly, and silver boats rise and fall.

Only the whale girl remained, leaning silently against the headboard.

Her almond-shaped eyes were lost in thought.

What does it mean to have nothing important to do?

How come I never noticed before that Jin Yi actually has times when she's focused on important matters?

The girl tried to imagine...

At this moment, in the Blood God Palace beneath Zhu Mountain.

Zhang Jinyi kept checking the messages from various states and ethnic groups, picking out the more crucial replies...

After reviewing my own inquiry, I felt it was unhelpful and set it aside for the time being.

That's impossible.

Whale Girl thought that her young lady was a lazy bum and would only be busy for a short while. Blood Clothes didn't have that much trouble.

Ignoring me is purely intentional...

The young woman, smelling the lingering scent of the man in the pavilion, no longer felt any resistance. She raised an eyebrow and devised a plan.

He immediately took out his and Jin Yi's jade tokens, and asked suspiciously, "Zhao Qingqiang took me last night. He said he wants us to be together in the future..."

The news has just come out!

In almost three breaths, the jade talisman reacted!

Zhang Jinyi: "It's fake."

Whale Girl: ...

Wow, you can reply instantly, right?

She remained silent for a moment, then sent another message: "...It's almost time. I've gotten used to it. I can talk to Si He without any inhibitions. Who knows what might happen between me and Zhao Qing."

call out--

A faint wisp of spiritual energy vibrated rapidly, causing strong ripples in this thin天地 (heaven and earth).

This time, Zhang Jin replied even faster!

"Don't you prefer hairless breeds?"

"You're a dragon whale, don't talk nonsense."

Whale Girl: ???

roll--!

……

Within the Heavenly Evolution Secret Realm.

The past two years have seen tremendous changes.

On the vast ocean, between the most expansive sea cliffs.

It has already become a bustling courtyard.

Leng Xian and Qing Ci live here.

Moreover, Shuyue and her aunt spend most of their time here.

Qinghuan often leaves the secret realm to accompany her master, and when she returns, she comes to this home.

Even Sihe and Whale Girl usually live in their homes on this sea cliff.

Ningmei and Ye Xi chose a nearby island, which they named Tianxiang Island, but they usually didn't stay there. Instead, Gu Nu and Chu Xin would cultivate there.

...Over there at the Star Palace Soul Hall.

It's no longer a place where people gather in their spare time.

There is no other reason.

The phoenix lingered for a while.

Zhao Qing and Si He had always thought that they might stay for a few months to see how things went.

But judging from the current situation...

It will probably take several years or even more than a decade.

Initially, Zhao Qing's family and Fenghuang were neighbors, living peacefully and without interfering with each other.

But gradually.

Phoenix actually started... going to the sixth-level star palace whenever he had nothing to do, standing with his hands behind his back to observe the Heavenly Flaw Secret Pattern that was being replicated by the secret realm.

What's wrong with this situation?

Everyone usually gathers on the second floor of the Star Palace.

The phoenix looked up at the ceiling from the first floor...

Or perhaps looking down at the floor from the third floor...

So they simply gave up the Star Palace altogether.

Now, the Sixth Star Palace has become Phoenix's private domain, and he goes back to observe it for ten days or so whenever he has free time.

Only Xiao Nangong needs constant nurturing from the Soul Palace, so he's still staying there.

The matter of rebuilding Nangong Yao's house has still not been put on the agenda.

Si He and she discussed it privately.

Since we've already made contact with the Phoenix, there's no rush. At the very least, we have a path to refine the soul and enter the demon realm.

Maybe if I lick Phoenix's boots a little more, Phoenix will point me in the right direction someday?

……

Zhao Qing and the other two, along with Shu Yue, returned to their home on the sea cliff.

On the sea cliffs.

The aunt, who had been sitting quietly, slightly opened her beautiful eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips, as if she were subtly asking... Why has my husband come back?

Have you greeted the Phoenix?
