"I'll think about these things again if I have the chance later."

She refocused her attention and continued her seclusion.

……

Ten years later, the god descended for sixty-three years.

Just as Xi Heng was about to cultivate his Nascent Soul technique to the limit that his cultivation could bear, and almost brought all the power he controlled to its peak, someone from the outside world came into the maze and arrived at the courtyard.

The person raised their slender fingers and knocked on the door.

Knock knock,

Xi Heng saw this and sent a telepathic message: "Come in."

The courtyard gate opened naturally, revealing a woman dressed in a white and gold robe from behind.

The other person walked barefoot to this place without being stained by a speck of dust, exuding an aura of holiness and nobility, and with each movement, a faint golden light always moved around him.

She walked into the courtyard, took off her hood, revealing her long, light blonde hair and a face that was more exquisite and perfect than ever before.

Looking over with his clear gray eyes, a sense of respect involuntarily arose in his expression, and he said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Immortal Master."

"Early Golden Core stage?" Xi Heng narrowed his eyes, recognizing the other party's current cultivation level: "To reach such a level in just sixty years? Your talent is even greater than I imagined."

Although this world is rich in spiritual energy, advancing to the Golden Core stage is by no means easy.

If one is not careful during this period, one will die without a burial place. Even if one survives, one's meridians will be severely damaged, one's strength will be greatly reduced, one will fall seriously ill, and one will never make any progress in the future.

It is quite extraordinary that Chen Fenghuo was able to successfully advance to the Golden Core stage in this world, which has only had spiritual energy for more than sixty years and is still not fully developed.

Even if she did it herself, she might not succeed.

"You flatter me, Immortal Master. I simply concentrated the resources of the Pure Fire Sect to support my cultivation and was fortunate enough to advance to the next level."

"It's not an exaggeration. Even though it's said that those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots have no bottlenecks before advancing to the Golden Core stage, they still need to be extremely cautious when achieving it. Any slight mistake or deficiency can put them in grave danger." Xi Heng shook his head slightly, then changed the subject: "But now, let's get back to the main topic. What brings you here?"

“The Immortal Master once said that if there is a crisis or major event, one can come to consult him again. However, I have come here this time not because of any major event... but because of a trivial personal matter. Please do not take offense.”

The other party bowed and apologized first, then continued under Xi Heng's gaze:

"I recently met a reclusive cultivator who returned to this world from the Pure Fire Realm. During our conversation, I learned that the Pure Fire Realm had been burned down by a great vengeance, and I also learned a little about other outer realms... After that, I did several searches, but I could not find the coordinates of the outside world."

"The more we explore and search, the more we learn that this world is merely a peripheral realm." The Crimson Goddess sighed softly, "The cultivators of the Great Zhao are imprisoned in this corner of the void, unable to transcend."

"Hmm." Xi Heng nodded gently: "Generally speaking, that's correct."

The Chonghai Domain is indeed on the edge of the world. To reach the slightly higher Senluo Domain, one would need to cross the Void Calamity, along with extremely good luck and a huge amount of spiritual energy.

"I have come here today to ask you, Immortal Master, which realm you will be going to in the future?" The other party's attitude and tone were quite respectful.

"Well, I haven't decided yet," Xi Heng replied naturally. "These divine trees are from the Senluo Domain, which was on the verge of destruction. It's impossible to cultivate there anymore, and I don't know which realm I can advance to the next level."

She hadn't thought about this issue yet; she only wanted to become a deity and save Senluo before considering it.

Perhaps there are other realm coordinates hidden within the Senluo Domain.

"Does the immortal master not know either..."

"Let's leave these things to fate." Xi Heng covered his mouth and yawned. "There's always a way out."

Chen Fenghuo was not so optimistic, and sighed, "In such a degenerate age, the road ahead is truly difficult."

"Don't worry, you're a person of great fortune. Maybe a good realm will just come crashing into you as you walk along," Xi Heng said casually.

"..." The blonde woman was silent for a moment, then finally asked directly, "May I ask if, when you depart for the future, my lord, you may take my daughter with you?"

"Huh?" The girl blinked.

"I have come here today for this very reason. I seek out the rare achievements in the outer realms, and it would be better to simply follow you, Immortal Master. I just wonder if you would be willing." The other person bowed slightly, strands of hair falling from his shoulders.

"You... want to come with me?" Xi Heng hesitated for a moment before offering a gentle reminder:

"Don't you cherish the great cause you built with your own hands? Don't you have any attachment to this world? In Chonghai, you are the only saintess in the world. After you leave with me, you will no longer have such a noble status."

"Feng Huo only asks to cultivate and improve alongside the Immortal Master... The Immortal Master brought the Divine Tree, which brought about this world and also made me who I am. From now on, whatever the Immortal Master asks me to do, I will obey without question." Chen Feng Huo took a deep breath and said coherently.

"There's no need to be so serious..." The white-haired girl pressed her temples, looked at the noble and dignified saintess in front of her, and nodded after a moment of thought.

"I agreed."

……

Volume 1: Chapter 333, To Whom Shall I Return?

The golden light of the sacred tree enveloped the entire courtyard, casting golden hues on the edges of the white hair of the girl in the pavilion.

A gentle breeze swept through the mountain courtyard, causing the strands of hair of the two women to flutter slightly.

Their pale red pupils met their grey eyes; the former remained calm and composed, while the latter showed unwavering determination.

The air fell silent for a few seconds, and the sea of ​​flowers in the courtyard rippled a few times in the wind.

Then, Xi Heng said, "I agree."

Chen Fenghuo wishes to cultivate alongside her, and has come today to inquire whether permission is permitted.

She didn't seem to care about it.

It doesn't matter whether the other party comes or not. If they do come, we just need to guide them into the spirit fire space. It won't take much effort.

If they don't come, it just means we've used up our fate in this life, and we can always see each other again in future saves.

In the past, it would have been quite troublesome to bring someone away from this world so that they wouldn't be separated even if they were in a cycle of reincarnation.

But now, it can be done simply by covering the past with spiritual fire.

Although we couldn't send her to the real world immediately after bringing her back, and could only let her move around in the Spirit Fire Space, it was still a form of companionship.

Now that I have roughly grasped some of the power of time, perhaps in the future I will be able to bring people out of the Spirit Fire Space and let them move around freely.

Xi Heng has high hopes for the future.

In short, as the voice faded, the blonde woman not far away finally let out a breath and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for your kindness in giving my daughter a ride."

"You don't need to be so polite in front of me." Xi Heng waved her hand, feeling a little uncomfortable with Chen Fenghuo's attitude.

"Given our past life connection, there's no need to be so formal. Let's ease things up a bit from now on."

The other party was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Although I promised to stay with you, it's not time to leave yet," Xi Heng said after thinking for a moment.

"I am still about ten years away from reaching the pinnacle of my cultivation. I will leave when that time comes... You may leave now and return to the mortal world. I will come to fetch you once I have reached the pinnacle."

"Yes." Chen Fenghuo obeyed the order.

"You can back out at any time within these ten years," the girl added at the end, then said, "I will ask again when we meet next time."

"My heart is made up." The other party replied without hesitation.

"Thank you for your sincerity." Xi Heng chuckled and flicked a spark of spiritual fire forward, enveloping Chen Fenghuo within it.

The space suddenly rippled, and after a while, the other party's figure disappeared on the spot and moved outside the illusion array.

Only the girl in the flower-filled courtyard remained, tapping her cheek with her finger and muttering to herself:

"Go and cultivate."

Turn around and disappear into the sea of ​​flowers.

A gentle breeze blows, causing the flowers and leaves to tremble and rustle softly.

……

Ten years have passed swiftly, and the white-haired girl sitting cross-legged in the pavilion has gradually awakened, her physical and mental state reaching its peak.

With a full mind, even just sitting here, one can spontaneously exude a refined and elegant aura.

A spiritual light emanated from the neck, gathering into a ring from the back.

As the halo rotated, her dress and ribbons fluttered slightly, making her appear like an immortal from any angle.

His eyelashes were firmly open, his pupils were almost overflowing with heroic spirit, and a spiritual light followed his every move.

When she reaches this peak, every action and thought of hers will unconsciously draw upon a small amount of spiritual energy in the world. Even if she does not refine it into her body, she can still use the spiritual energy around her to activate some minor spells.

Such ability is close to the Nascent Soul stage—a major characteristic of Nascent Soul cultivators is that they can directly mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to construct or amplify spells, making the power and effect of spells dozens of times greater than that of the peak Nascent Soul stage.

Although Xi Heng can only influence a small amount of spiritual energy around him, the fact that such a phenomenon can occur is enough to show that he is very close to the Nascent Soul stage.

The success rate of subsequent promotions will not be low.

“However, even if my cultivation and abilities are sufficient, I still need to collect materials for advancement.” Xi Heng exited his cultivation state and relaxed, muttering to himself.

There are four main materials for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage: Heaven and Earth Essence, Primordial Elixir, Unreturning Grass, and Divine Souls above the Nascent Soul stage.

She already had enough of the essence of heaven and earth within her body; all she needed to collect were the latter three.

Xi Heng had learned about the Tai Su Dan when he was in the Senluo Domain. He knew that only one pill could be made every two hundred years, and the materials required were extremely expensive and rare. It was considered one of the treasures of the Senluo Domain.

The Senluo Domain only has two Tai Su Pills, one of which is kept in the Jin Yuan Sect and the other in the hands of the Ling Xue Guan. Both are waiting to be used when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the sect leader of Lingxue Temple failed to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and attempt to advance until the arrival of the Black Tide.

The true genius of this generation within the Jin Yuan Sect has made some kind of blunder, leaving behind the Nascent Soul Transformation Technique, "The Selfless Sun and Moon Ten Thousand Zhang Technique," and instead cultivating the "Zi Xu Spiritual Realm Technique," which is only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Although that person had exceptional talent in this area, able to expand and construct an entire virtual world using both real and virtual techniques, immersing the vast majority of people in it.

However, cultivation and strength will always stagnate, making it difficult to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one cannot contend with the Black Tide. No matter how far the method of illusion and reality developed, Changpingjing ultimately perished.

In the end, neither of the two Tai Su Pills were used; they were all wasted.

"Why not let me use it... but how should I get my hands on it?" Xi Heng pondered.

Robbery and theft are unacceptable.

No matter what, there's a Nascent Soul cultivator guarding Changping Kyoto, so it's not easy to steal from him right now.

"How about we negotiate a barter?" She still didn't think it was a good idea.

The Tai Su Dan is the most precious treasure in the Senluo Domain. There are dozens of divine trees in the Senluo Domain, but there are only two of these pills.

Xi Heng never imagined that he would have to offer something in exchange for a Tai Su Pill.

"Either go to the world after the Black Tide descends, hide your identity and go back to Changpingjing to look for it... But the Black Tide is already familiar with the resentment in my body, and I can't escape it."

"Never mind, let fate decide." The white-haired girl shook her head, trying to distract herself, and prepared to go deep into the wilderness of the Senluo Domain to find the Herb of No Return.

After obtaining the Herb of No Return, I'll think about how to acquire the other two major promotion materials.

After making up his mind, a few flames rose around Xi Heng.

The space was burned with ripples, and as the ripples faded, the girl's figure also disappeared.

When they reappeared, they were already in the high pavilion of the Pure Fire Sect's headquarters in Jinshi City.

The walls are covered with glazed golden tiles, and many thick red beams stand neatly. The walls are painted with fire patterns and images of religious legends.

The scene depicted prominently shows her slaying the gray dragon, and it is portrayed in a rather exaggerated manner.

Xi Heng glanced at the mural, then took half a step forward and disappeared.

When they reappeared, they had entered the secret cultivation chamber where Chen Fenghuo was cultivating. They could smell the warm incense and saw Chen Fenghuo, dressed in a white robe, cultivating in the center.

Xi Heng didn't disturb him and waited against the wall for a while.

A quarter of an hour later, the woman in the center finally had a premonition, stopped cultivating and opened her eyes, and saw Xi Heng right in front of her.

Chen Fenghuo paused for a moment, then stood up and bowed to her:

"Immortal Master, you have arrived."

"I'm here." Xi Heng nodded and said, "So, do you want to regret this today?"

"In the past ten years, my daughter has never had a single moment of regret," the other party said.

"That's good. It's time to go, now." Xi Heng flicked his finger to the side, sending out a flame.

The fire wheel rotated in a circle, forming an oval shape.

In the center, a scene appears, revealing another world.

She said in advance:
