The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Yun Yici finally exchanged 20 merit points for a simplified version of the Sun and Moon Shuttle, plus a simplified version of the Sun and Moon Shuttle crafting blueprint.

This time, the system didn't cheat her; her 20 merit points were immediately replenished after being deducted.

Yun Yici took the blueprints to Rong Xuan.

Rong Xuan was leading a group of disciples who cultivated magical artifacts on a flying magical artifact.

Over the course of a century, Rong Xuan’s research has yielded breakthroughs, but he has ultimately been unable to replicate a magical artifact comparable to the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

Rong Xuan was taken aback when she saw the blueprints in Yun Yici's hand: "Junior Sister, where did you get these blueprints?"

Yun Yici said, "I recently obtained this by chance. Senior Brother, I saw that the spiritual stones and spiritual wood required on the paper are all available in the Xuanling Domain."

"This is a sample."

Rong Xuan had been obsessed with the study of the Sun and Moon Shuttle for a century, and when he received the simplified version of the flying shuttle from Yun Yici, he was captivated by it.

After some discussion, the two siblings felt that if the simple flying shuttle in their hands could travel through the four regions like the Sun and Moon Shuttle, it would be even more convenient than the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

After all, only members of the Xie family can use the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

This simple flying shuttle can recognize another owner, regardless of who it is.

The Sun and Moon Shuttle is valuable because of its grade, the materials used in its crafting, and the various attack attributes it comes with.

The simplified shuttle provided by the system only retains the basic shuttle attributes.

But even so, it's enough.

Yun Yici secretly inquired with the system: "Where did you get such precious blueprints?"

"Isn't it said that you can't conjure things out of thin air that don't exist in the world?"

Yun Yici was worried that these blueprints might be the result of the people of Tianling Domain's persistent efforts, which had taken them thousands of years to research.

What if she goes to the outer realms and the people of the Heavenly Spirit Realm take advantage of the situation?

The system said, "This is the original manuscript of the craftsman who forged the Sun and Moon Shuttle. The Sun and Moon Shuttle was upgraded based on this manuscript."

"That artifact cultivator has already ascended to immortality. These are all unclaimed items; the capable will claim them."

"However, this weapon cultivator still has descendants in the Yellow Spirit Domain. If you feel bad about it, you can help him out if you encounter him."

Yun Yici breathed a sigh of relief, then had a flash of inspiration and said to the system, "The mission is to be accessible to all four domains. If I sell this shuttle that can travel between the four domains to people outside the domains, wouldn't that also count as being accessible to all four domains?"

system:"......"

It wanted to refute, but it couldn't find a way to do so. What Yun Yici said seemed to make some sense.

People are mobile, so how can that not be considered as interconnected across four regions?

Just like when people leave home to visit each other, it's rare that they have to break down all the walls.

Are we going to huddle together and use blood and death to establish a new order?

The more Yun Yici thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

Breaking down the barriers between the four regions rashly could harm the ecological environment of one region and injure its indigenous inhabitants.

The people of Tianling Domain were the first to be affected.

The system neither said yes nor no, so Yun Yici decided to make a note of it.

She handed the blueprints to Rong Xuan and asked him to study their feasibility. Then she went to the main hall to summon Shen Huaichuan and Li Changyu.

Li Changyu is the current chief disciple of the Lingwei Sect.

Over the course of a century, after caring for her mother until her death, she remained in the sect to cultivate, and the disciples deeply loved and respected this senior sister.

Although Yun Yici and she were not officially master and disciple, their relationship was practically that of master and disciple, as he always kept her by his side and taught her with great care.

Shen Huaichuan arrived even faster than Li Changyu.

A century has passed without leaving any trace on Shen Huaichuan. The young man in the dark blue robe is as handsome and refined as he was a hundred years ago, as if he were a painting.

Shen Huaichuan entered and bowed to her first, saying, "Sect Leader Yun."

"sit!"

The two were quite familiar with each other in private, and Yun Yici did not stand on ceremony with him.

"The matter of the Sun and Moon Shuttle has been resolved. I summoned you and Changyu here specifically because the time is ripe to go beyond the realm."

As soon as they obtained the Sun and Moon Shuttle, they were ready to set off for the outer realms at any time.

However, due to the entanglement with the Lingwei Sect and the selfish motives of the various forces in the Xuanling Domain, they stayed in the Xuanling Domain for a while longer.

Shen Huaichuan was not surprised by the arrival of this day: "So that's how it is."

Yun Yici was worried that he was obsessed with revenge, so she deliberately pointed out to him: "If we set off, we will not go straight to the Heavenly Spirit Realm."

"I always remember that in Lord Yi's memory, the people of Tianling Domain had already submitted to them."

"So I want to go to Huangling Domain first to check out the situation."

"Firstly, Huang Lingyu is a victim just like us back then."

"Secondly, the fact that Huangling Domain was able to submit to Tianling Domain indicates that this domain is weaker and more suitable as our first outer domain to explore."

"Without the Sun and Moon Shuttle, the Heavenly Spirit Domain's control over the Yellow Spirit Domain will inevitably weaken."

"After we go to the Yellow Spirit Domain, we may be able to form an alliance with the natives of this domain to fight against the Heavenly Spirit Domain together."

"As for the Immortal Ladder, I have other plans."

Yun Yici's idea was that since the four domains were interconnected, they should follow the path of their Lingwei Sect, make allies, and then defeat the more powerful spiritual domains one by one.

Shen Huaichuan was not surprised by Yun Yici's mindset.

He said, "You just said that the matter of the Sun and Moon Shuttle has been resolved. Could it be that Elder Rong has crafted a magical artifact comparable to the Sun and Moon Shuttle?"

"If that's the case, then we don't need to send out too many people."

Yun Yici said, "You, me, and Senior Brother Xie are indispensable."

"The Sun and Moon Shuttle is both offensive and defensive. To be on the safe side, let's take the Sun and Moon Shuttle to the outer realms."

There's no need to worry about the transmission of messages between the two domains. Over the past hundred years, the magical artifacts for transmitting messages have improved more than a hundredfold. Now, there are even communication mirrors that allow you to see the other party's situation in real time.

The raw material is quite interesting; it's the black sphere that Rong Xuan used to examine the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.

It can be regarded as waste utilization.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Let's call it the Imperial Decree or the Candle Seeking. Although Xiao Ba has grown up, he is still a child at heart. Bringing him along will only cause trouble."

There should also be demon races outside the realm, and the divine beast bloodlines of the Emperor's Edict and Zhujian can be of great help.

They consulted many ancient books, but the descriptions of the four regions only existed in legends.

However, they speculated that the other three domains should be the same as the Xuanling Domain.

The so-called Six Realms are: humans, demons, monsters, ghosts, immortals, and gods.

Humans, demons, and monsters belong to the lower three realms, while ghosts, immortals, and gods belong to the upper three realms.

However, the Ghost Realm is too ethereal and elusive, difficult for the living to reach, and no one except the dead yearns for it. It has no sense of existence and has gradually fallen into becoming the fourth realm outside the three lower realms.

Yun Yici speculated that the Upper Three Realms were the final destination for all cultivators in the Four Domains.

For example, Master Yi was a person from the Heavenly Spirit Domain before his death, but died in the Profound Spirit Domain and eventually became a ghost cultivator.

The Ghost Realm may not only accept people from the Xuanling Domain, but also all cultivators from the four domains who died unnatural deaths but possess extraordinary destiny.

Of course, this still needs to be verified.

Yun Yici accepted Shen Huaichuan's suggestion: "I'll go ask them later."

As the two were talking, a disciple guarding the hall announced loudly, "Senior Sister Li Changyu requests an audience."

"come in."

*

A female swordsman, dressed in a white disciple's robe, arrived with her sword on her back, looking dashing and heroic.

Her graceful figure caught Yun Yici's eye.

"Ayu."

Li Changyu looked around and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sect Leader Yun, greetings, Elder Shen. I am late due to other matters, and I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Yun Yici smiled and said, "No need for such formalities."

"I called you here because there is something I need to do. Elder Shen, along with several other elders, need to leave for a while."

"I'm afraid you'll need to take charge of the Sect Master's Decree for the time being."

Yun Yici believed that Li Changyu, the disciple she had personally raised, could lead the Lingwei Sect forward even in her absence.

In the past, when Yun Yici went out, Li Changyu would take over the duties of the sect leader.

However, she was never allowed to take charge of the sect leader's command.

Moreover, Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan have never left Lingwei Sect at the same time.

If one of them leaves, the other will remain in the sect.

Li Changyu sensed something was wrong.

She knelt down and pleaded, "This disciple is foolish and ignorant; please, Sect Leader, give me your guidance."

"Where do the sect leader and Elder Shen intend to go?"

Yun Yici didn't intend to hide it from her: "Outer Domain, Huangling Domain."

Li Changyu subconsciously asked, "Could it be that people from beyond the realm have designs on us again? Is that why they want to strike first?"

"This disciple is willing to go!"

Yun Yici coughed lightly and began to reflect on whether the sense of crisis he had cultivated over the years had gone too far.

"No, when the time is right, the elders and I are just going to the outer regions to investigate their situation."

"Thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed. We cannot remain here forever, waiting for others to come to us."

"In short, you've worked hard these past few days. You can make all the decisions about the sect yourself. I will also explain the situation to Elder Yue and ask her to help you."

Yun Yici thought it best to leave Yue Niang behind to help Li Changyu maintain order in the clan.

As for their trip abroad, we will keep it a secret for the time being.

To prevent those with ulterior motives from making a big fuss about them and undermining the current favorable situation.

After calming Li Changyu down, Shen Huaichuan went to find Xie Qianjue, while Yun Yici went to find Zhujian.

But halfway there, a chirping little bird came to deliver a message.

Yun Yici sighed, slowed down his Huaichuan Sword, and landed directly on the nearest scenic peak.

"Xiao Ci, where are you going?"

The young man in red was strikingly beautiful, with bright phoenix eyes that sparkled slightly when he looked at her.

Yun Yici had a premonition that as long as she spoke, the Emperor would definitely agree.

But over the years, his feelings for her have become so deep that she can no longer repay them.

Two hundred years ago, she could have pretended not to know.

But after a hundred years of endless searching and a hundred years of silent waiting, how could a person be without feelings, since they are not plants or trees?

Busy with other matters on a daily basis, Yun Yici naturally suppressed her thoughts.

If she intended to refuse, the emperor would discreetly step back, and after some time, step forward again.

However, she struggled to make up her mind to reciprocate the emperor's affections.

Between her and the emperor, there seemed to be a thin mist that could not be pierced and could not reach the other's side, making their love unspeakable.

The current distance is just right, neither too close nor too far, and she has no intention of becoming a Daoist partner with anyone else.

Yun Yici could not entirely attribute the reason to the Dao of Forgetting Dust she cultivated in her previous life.

More likely, she is never the type of person who responds to someone's affections simply because they are kind to her or because she feels a superficial sense of gratitude.

She still has many important things to do.

She came into this world not to become the heroine of a story, a man's Daoist partner, or a puppet of the Heavenly Dao System.

Love was just a trivial part of her life.

Everything the emperor ordered him to do for her was simply because she "wanted" it.

But he didn't delve into the reasons behind it; instead, he was driven by an irresistible and blindly resolute love.

Yun Yici hoped that the emperor would stop indulging her and let her do what she truly wanted to do.

Just like when we first met, we traversed the three realms, free and unrestrained.

Yun Yici paused for a moment before speaking: "Where did Fellow Daoist get the imperial edict?"

The emperor, under her gaze, began to doubt whether his appearance today was unusual.

Hearing her question, he calmed down and said, "Senior Zhujian just invited me to teach Xiaoba the art of bird control."

That Kunpeng grew very slowly.

A century has passed, and he has only grown to the size of a ten-year-old human child.

Moreover, the winged tribe, who should have been close to him, were not very close to him.

The emperor decreed that he did not like to take care of children, and Yun Yici was often away from home.

Zhu Jian, who liked the cubs, took Xiao Ba in, but since it involved some knowledge of the Feathered Clan, he still needed to ask the Emperor for help.

Yunyi resigned to seek out Zhujian, and the Emperor had just returned from Zhujian's place, so how could they run into each other?

"I see. I was just about to go find Senior Zhujian."

The emperor noticed her furrowed brow and couldn't help but ask, "Is there something important? Can I help you?"

Over the years, the more he tried to show that he was useful and that she could rely on him, the further away she would run.

Yun Yici was about to speak when she changed the subject: "The time is ripe for exploring beyond our borders. Do you want to go?"

The emperor blurted out, "You're leaving? Of course I'm going!"

Yun Yici smiled helplessly, "What if I don't go? What if you've never met me?"

"Tell me honestly, if you could go beyond this realm, would you go?"

The emperor asked in astonishment, "What do you mean by this?"

After he finished speaking, he calmed down and pondered Yun Yici's intentions.

"If I hadn't met you, I would naturally have stayed in the Demon Palace to await Nirvana."

"Now that Nirvana and ascension are impossible, there is no other way but to seek a solution in the outer realms."

So his answer was: "I will go."

Yun Yici finally made up her mind and slowly said, "Then let's go together."

The emperor's lips curved into a smile, his eyebrows radiating intense joy: "Is it just the two of us?"

Yun Yici's lips twitched: "What are you thinking? We should at least invite Senior Brother Xie and Elder Shen."

The smile on Di Zhao's face froze instantly. He muttered in dissatisfaction, "You've already chosen your senior brother and Shen Xiu, and you'd rather ask Zhu Jian than come to me first."

Yun Yici had no way to deal with him, so she said that this matter was a secret and should not be told to outsiders. Even Ning Tinglan and the others did not know about it, so the emperor finally gave up.

But just before their departure, Yun Yici, Shen Huaichuan, and Di Zhao went to find Xie Qianjue's residence to meet up.

Rong Xuan, Mu Yunjian, Ning Tinglan, and Zhu Jian were all stationed inside the room.

Yun Yici exclaimed in surprise, "What are you all doing here?"

"Xie, Senior Brother?"

Xie Qianjue, who was mistaken for the informant, helplessly shrugged.

"Junior Sister Yun, you're wronging me."

"They suddenly broke into my room that night, and I thought it was because you had leaked the news."

Zhu Jian smiled and said, "I must thank Fellow Daoist Di Zhao for teaching Xiao Ba the art of bird control. Going to the outer realms is such an interesting thing, we can't just leave you behind."
