In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

As Di Qingci's mind became calmer, the dark sword intent began to slowly gather around her.

In the darkness, it felt as if countless invisible hands were gently touching her skin.

Each touch brings a subtle insight.

Di Qingci seemed to have become part of the darkness; she could feel its depth, mystery, and boundless inclusiveness.

The sword intent of darkness is no longer a simple power, but an existence that is integrated with life.

During this process, Di Qingci's consciousness seemed to drift in the boundless universe.

Time slipped away silently in the darkness, but Di Qingci was completely unaware.

Her mind constantly communicated and merged with the dark sword intent.

Finally, when Di Qingci opened her eyes again, a deep light shone in them.

Di Qingci did a quick calculation and realized that almost four months had passed here.

"The journey to immortality is swift as an arrow, and youthful beauty vanishes in an instant. Looking back at the desolate place I came from, time flies by and my heart is filled with sorrow."

Di Qingci felt it: the sword intent of water was partially mastered, the sword intent of fire was partially mastered, the sword intent of wood was partially mastered, and the sword intent of darkness was partially mastered.

As expected of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, there are benefits to everyone who comes up here. It is a blessed land for sword cultivators.

In the center of the Sword Pavilion, there is a huge sword pool.

In the sword pool, countless swords floated in the air, radiating a powerful sword intent.

Some of these swords are dazzlingly bright, while others are ancient and worn, but each one contains a unique power of swordsmanship.

Di Qingci had no interest in this and turned to leave.

The man, dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, was dashing and debonair: "Hey! Goddess Emperor, we meet again. It seems our fate is quite deep. Is Goddess Emperor about to leave?"

Di Qingci thought this person was very familiar: "Yes."

The man saw her about to leave and remembered the task issued by the system.

"Goddess, I am Yan Qingyun. Qingyun is the free spirit of drifting clouds, roaming freely in the vast sky. Beautiful lady, let's be friends."

Di Qingci was certain: this person was 90% likely a time traveler.

Although several transmigrators have visited the Spirit Realm, and the food and customs here are similar to those in modern times, there are still differences.

Di Qingci nodded: "Sure, just call me Di Qingci. I have something to do, see you later."

Thinking of the reward, Yan Qingyun immediately stepped forward: "Beautiful lady, come along! With a handsome man like me by your side, even the path to immortality will shine brighter."

What difficulties or obstacles are there to fear? Just keep striding forward.

Di Qingci didn't want to deal with this shameless person, so he went down the mountain on his own.

Yan Qingyun was shameless, and he was secretly pleased with himself.

Di Qingci and Yan Qingyun arrived at Phantom City. As they stepped through the city gate, the streets were teeming with people.

The street stalls were filled with all sorts of strange and unusual items.

The vendors enthusiastically called out to attract passersby.

When Di Qingci saw these advertisements, he knew how fake they were. If they were real, they would still be displayed on the ground.

I randomly entered a teahouse.

Yan Qingyun was handsome, holding a folding fan, and had a charming smile on his face.

Especially her peach blossom eyes, which seem to look at dogs with deep affection.

"Waiter, please bring us some of the best tea and fruit."

"Alright, sir, your order is here!"

Yan Qingyun crossed his legs and said, "Beautiful lady, see if it's delicious. If it's not, this handsome guy will treat you to something better."

Di Qingci grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them open. It had been a long time since he had had so much free time. He ate the melon seeds and watched the vendors outside hawking their wares, which was quite interesting.

Two figures appeared in front of their table. A man in a royal blue Taoist robe stepped forward and asked, "Fellow Daoist, would you mind sharing a table with me?"

Yan Qingyun turned around and saw that there were still many empty seats. He was unsure of the newcomer's intentions. "Please, both of you, have a seat."

The two men didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Yan Qingyun to chat. Yan Qingyun was a very talkative person and they could talk about anything. In no time, they were calling each other brothers.

"Brothers, we're also going to the Starry Sea. We were planning to leave tomorrow and relax today, but we didn't expect you guys to be going too."

"Yes, we heard that the Starry Sea has appeared and there should be many treasures there, so we plan to go there to train."

However, the Starry Sea is very dangerous, and it's close to the islands. There are many powerful factions there, and they're especially xenophobic. Sending a small group would be useless; they simply couldn't get in.

Yan Qingyun didn't care at all: "Brother Mu, you're overthinking it. Strength is the only thing that matters everywhere. If you're not convinced, just beat them up."

Mu Ling said with great enthusiasm: "Brother Yan is a true man. It is a great pleasure in life to be friends with you."

Ling Haoyu also laughed: "Brother Yan is broad-minded and carefree. I have a younger sister at home..."

Yan Qingyun immediately interrupted, "Hey, let's chat, not talk about anything else. Your sister is my sister, I understand."

He's the kind of person who wants to meet all the beauties in the world, how can he be hung up on just one person, especially one he doesn't even know what kind of person that is?

Ling Haoyu understood instantly.

Di Qingci stood up, and Yan Qingyun immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go for a walk." Di Qingci went downstairs.

Ling Haoyu and Mu Ling looked at Yan Qingyun: "Brother Yan, who is this?"

Yan Qingyun said proudly, "That's the goddess of the Peerless Sword Sect, my friend."

Mu Ling raised an eyebrow: "The Peerless Sword Sect is a major sect, so this Divine Maiden must be very powerful in combat."

Ling Haoyu nodded: "Since his debut, this person has been able to challenge opponents of higher levels without a doubt."

I heard she was once a direct descendant of the Di family of the Lingyu Sacred Continent, but unfortunately the Di family was destroyed by the Chen family, the Lingyun Sword Sect, and several other powerful forces.

Mu Ling smiled and said, "I wonder if these major forces feel any pressure?"

"The imperial family's daughter has become a goddess. Once she becomes powerful, she will surely seek revenge. Why haven't these people made a move?"

Yan Qingyun scoffed: "The Aoshi Sword Sect is not just for show. Anyone who dares to touch their goddess is declaring war on the Aoshi Sword Sect."

Other forces aren't fools either; they're probably waiting for an opportunity and won't act rashly. Once they do act, it will be earth-shattering.

The next day, the group traveled together to the Starry Sea, and arrived at Starry Sea City in a few days via the teleportation array.

The group emerged from the teleportation array to find the streets wide and clean, lined with shops and buildings on both sides.

These buildings vary in style; some are simple and elegant, while others are magnificent and grand, each exuding a unique atmosphere.

The shop was filled with all sorts of items for cultivating immortality, from spiritual herbs and objects to powerful magical weapons.
