Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 580 Another World Where Yuan Stayed
The weapon, which had reached the Dao realm, was unaware of what was happening and proceeded to explain its origins.

"Listen up, kid. My name is 'Feng Zhiji'. I was born from the first wisp of military energy in the Yuanzhen Realm. After the destruction of thirty-seven great universes, I honed my sharpness in the process of returning to the void."

"His rank is equal to that of a Dao Lord who has attained the Dao, he is free to change, immortal and indestructible, and unique in all realms!"

"Form and Dao coexist, and the body is revered by the Dharma."

"The Dao Lord of Reverse Entropy wanted to seize me, but I cut off one of his fingers instead. The Dao Lord of Thousand Volts held a grand banquet for all realms, just to obtain a wisp of my sharpness..."

The general idea is to introduce how awesome you are and how amazing your background is.

There's a lot of exaggeration in it, but one thing is true...

As one of the few Dao-aligned weapons in this world, it is indeed coveted by many Dao-aligned individuals.

Unfortunately, there is only one Dao Integration Realm cultivator in this world who specializes in swordsmanship, and it doesn't even look down on him.

So it has been traveling through the universe, searching for a sword master that it deems worthy enough to become its wielder.

Previously, the sword light rose and converged, and Feng Zhiji, as the only sword-type weapon in the Yuanzhen Realm that had reached the Dao, keenly sensed that the sword master he had been searching for might have appeared.

So, following the intuition in the universe, he began to travel and search among many universes.

but……

Just as it was still chattering away, a crimson full moon quietly appeared behind Xu Xing, shining brightly in all directions.

As the red light shone, many universes seemed to burst into flames.

Feng Zhiji, who was still boasting about himself, stopped abruptly upon seeing this scene.

It is incomprehensible and unfathomable.

Feng Zhiji froze completely, not even daring to look behind Xu Xing.

If it were a human, they would surely be drenched in cold sweat at this moment.

What the heck?!

This is not normal!

As the only sword-type weapon in this world that has reached the Dao, it was forged from the desolate and lifeless essence of the thirty-seven great universes after their destruction, and it is not afraid of even those Dao Lords who have reached the Dao.

But at this moment, facing the seemingly harmless red moonlight, it truly felt its own 'existence' and 'foundation' being shaken.

Suddenly, it saw a hazy sword shadow, entirely crimson, shimmering with divine light.

Like the origin of all swords in the heavens, it is the embodiment of the way of the sword.

A chilling gaze came from the farthest, more unreachable heights, coldly watching it, as if with a single thought, its very existence could be erased from the very foundation.

Feng was terrified.

Faced with this incomprehensible terror from an absolute height, even its physical form trembled.

"I'm sorry, I already have my own natal sword. You'd better find someone else," Xu Xing said with a smile.

After saying that, Xu Xing strode forward.

The crimson full moon revolved erratically, illuminating countless universes, while Ling Feng remained frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

After an unknown amount of time, the crimson full moon finally disappeared.

As for Feng Zhiji, he finally felt that chilling gaze disappear. The entire sword stood there stunned for a long time before it finally came to its senses.

Buzz~!

The sword's edge glowed with layers of sword light.

The sharpest point transformed into a single line, cutting through the gaps between universes and rushing towards a vast universe within the Primordial Realm.

The fear it had never experienced before filled it with immense terror.

Instinctively, I wanted to find a world to hide in, just to avoid being discovered by that crimson moon sword shadow.

……

……

In the Taixuan Realm.

A crimson longsword appeared between Xu Xing's knees.

It was, however, the moon's shadow.

As the master of Moonshadow's sword, Xu Xing could sense that Moonshadow was genuinely angry this time.

But that's understandable.

After all, in the world of Chinese Paladin, a sword just suddenly appears out of nowhere, claiming it wants to recognize its master as its own?!

Even a normal sword spirit couldn't stand it!
That's why he personally projected a wisp of sword energy over there, scaring Feng Zhiji half to death.

"Sister Yueying is so forgiving."

Yue Ling sighed from the side.

If it were her, she would have slapped Feng Zhiji the moment he opened his mouth.

This tiny Dao-Merging Sword dares to compete with her, the Immortal Sword Master, for its master!
I have absolutely no idea how to write the word 'death'.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally she clenched her fists, her little face full of resentment.

Clearly, she was completely immersed in the role.

Xu Xing: "..."

Isn't this Meizu coming to the Sword Sect? Bie Xuening thought she was too noisy playing games and didn't look like a character from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, so she kicked her out.

After leaving the Sword Master's Hall, Yue Ling wandered around for a while.

But since Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu were not around, she didn't have anywhere else to go.

After all, she didn't need to care in front of her two disciples, but she still had to maintain the image of Lady Yue Ling in front of others.

Feeling bored, she went to the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

emm...

The main reason was that she knew Xu Xing had a dedicated room with excellent equipment, perfect for playing games!

Just as she was hesitating about how to speak, an event occurred in the Yuanzhen Realm where a weapon of the Dao Integration realm wanted to recognize Xu Xing as its master.

Then there was this scene.

Looking at the indignant Yue Ling, Xu Xing smiled wryly:
"Alright, go play now, the door's open."

"Eh?"

Still seething with anger, Yue Ling was a little slow to react.

"You came all this way just to play games, didn't you?"

Ok? !

Yue Ling was shocked.

She hadn't even said anything yet, how did the Sword Ancestor know?

"me……"

Won't this make me seem calculating and purposeful?

"Turn left after you go out and go through the seventh door," Xu Xing reminded him again.

"My lord, I will take her there."

As the cold, clear voice rang out.

The crimson longsword, which had been lying flat between Xu Xing's knees, turned into a streak of red light and fell to the ground. In the dazzling light, a tall and graceful figure appeared.

His face remained unchanged, still expressionless.

Xu Xing was somewhat surprised, but since Yueying rarely took the initiative to bring something up, there was no reason for him to disagree.

"Alright."

Yue Ling looked up at Yue Ying and blinked: "Sister Yue Ying..."

"Let's go."

Yueying simply uttered a soft sound and walked down from the dojo.

Yue Ling paused for a moment, then quickly jogged to catch up.

Watching them disappear through the doorway, Xu Xing paused for a moment, then turned back to gaze at the Chaos Sea.

There are avatars walking in the Yuanzhen Realm; after that, all that is needed is to steadily advance the arrangements.

Thinking of this, he looked directly into the distance.

Worlds flashed before my eyes,
Soon, a vast world, resembling a star, with immense power, interwoven with laws and principles, and emanating boundless chaos, came into view.

Taiping Boundary.

That is, the world where they stayed when they fell into the Tai Xuan Realm.

This time, however, Xu Xing's gaze only lingered briefly. After exchanging a greeting with a wisp of You's power projection, he continued looking beyond the Peaceful Realm. Gradually, the search speed slowed considerably.

Because it was a region they had never been to before, the effects of the Chaotic Sea's complex environment began to emerge.

Just as the distance between worlds is not simply a matter of 'distance,' but also the existence of 'potential' or 'level'.

Walking in the so-called chaotic sea is not as simple as just taking a step forward.

Instead, it requires 'understanding' in order to 'get through'.

This is why, apart from a few special beings, only cultivators who have thoroughly understood the true nature of things possess the ability to walk for extended periods in the Chaos Sea.

Similarly, Xu Xing was currently overlooking the Chaos Sea from within the Tai Xuan Realm.

When facing areas we have never been to before, we need to 'understand' in order to 'see' them clearly.

About half an hour later.

A world at the Void Returning level came into view, containing residual energy that transcended the Profound Realm.

Although it was very diluted, it couldn't hide it from Xu Xing.

Moreover, that aura was no different from the remnants in the Qingxu 'Homecoming' laboratory of the Righteous Path Alliance.

Clearly, this is another world where Yifang Yuan once stayed.

"Let's see and then talk."

hum~
Xu Xing opened his hand, and tiny, sand-like particles of pale golden light gathered in his palm, slowly solidifying into a phantom.

Ultimately, it transformed into a clear and lustrous jade book, which landed in Xu Xing's palm.

Turning to the first page, one finds Yuan's own account, or rather, his diary.

[I never expected Yinling to come looking for me!]

I brought her here using the original contract and the "Close Yet Distant" technique, but she says she'll go wherever I go...

What should I do? Should I really take her back to my hometown?

This jade book was compiled by Xu Xing by reading historical images from that world.

However, Yuan did write a diary while he was in that world.

“Yinling…”

If I remember correctly, this Yinling is the same being that was the artifact spirit of the "World Derivation Instrument" used to deduce world coordinates in the "Homecoming" laboratory.

Because in her mind, there was only one person, Yuan.

Having understood what Yuan meant by 'leaving,' Yinling did not hesitate to separate herself from the Boundary Derivation Instrument and follow Yuan.

As a magical artifact that Yuan painstakingly crafted, its grade is almost equivalent to a Profound Treasure.

Moreover, the function of the Boundary Derivation Instrument is to deduce the world coordinates in the Chaos Sea, so although the creatures associated with it are of average combat strength, they can easily walk in the Chaos Sea.

but……

Xu Xing continued looking down.

[Oh no! Her spirituality is weakening. To fulfill my command, she paid a heavy price for breaking away from the Boundary Evolution Instrument...]

The efficiency of Chaos Refining is too low; it's completely insufficient.

The foundation of life in objects is the object itself.

Forcibly separating oneself from an 'object' is like a plant severing its roots; its spirituality will gradually be lost over time.

She didn't actually have to do that.

Ke Yuan wanted to leave his achievements, including the Jieyan Instrument, to Xu Xing, so as to save him the time of searching for his way home.

Yinling would not, and even less wanted to, go against Yuan's wishes.

"..."

Xu Xing paused briefly, then continued scrolling down.

What follows is a record of Yuan searching for various methods to replenish the spirituality that Yinling was constantly losing.

Given his personality, he would naturally not ignore it.

However, even though he had already reached the True Realm, the world he was in was ultimately just a Returning Void level world.

How can we replenish the spiritual essence lost from the beings within the mysterious treasure?

Moreover, due to the loss of its foundation, Yinling's spirituality has been steadily declining.

In this situation, Yuan also realized that he had to create a sufficiently powerful body to support Yinling in order to stop the trend of its spiritual loss.

But the same problem remains!
A world at the Void Return level has insufficient resources to meet his needs.

unless!

Using the world itself as material, it forges all living beings.

Perhaps it is possible to create a body that can temporarily bear the spirit of Yinling.

Xu Xing looked at the last few lines of text.

I need to find a more powerful world, collect some spiritual objects, and help her rebuild a body capable of containing spiritual energy.

Yuan ultimately did not choose to do that.

He may have had that thought for a moment, but his personality destined him not to put it into action.

In the end, Yuan still took Yinling away from this world of the Void Returning level.

They began searching for a more suitable world.

This also means that he may not necessarily go back along the originally deduced 'path'.

The Chaos Sea is vast and boundless; if we search aimlessly like this, it will be really hard to find anything.

Xu Xing closed the jade book and did not continue reading.

He wasn't worried about Yuan's situation.

As someone at the Dongzhen Realm, and possessing the 'Space-Time Domain Coordinate Deduction Equation,' it wouldn't be difficult for him to replenish Yinling's spirituality and create a suitable body.

"I still need to tell Ning Ruo to call that little guy from the Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield back for a visit as well."

We should let you know when we have any news.

He had previously told Yuan that he could be found without the relevant coordinates when he was in the Righteous Alliance, and this was not an exaggeration.

Ning Wanzhu, Ning Ruo's disciple, and Ming Yu from the Righteous Path Alliance are both Yuan's closest people in this world.

There is no better medium.

Moreover, the specifics of how to proceed are up to the two of them to decide.

After all, judging from the current situation, Yuan might not even have arrived yet...

The current situation hasn't reached the point where he's indispensable, so bringing him back like this seems a bit excessive.

……

……

Several days later, the Supreme Dao Sect...

Chi Jiuyu has completed his advanced studies and is preparing to leave the Supreme Dao Sect.

On the other hand, the third batch of Ascension Envoy Trials is about to begin, and she needs to return to the sect to prepare and purchase some items.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister Yang! Come visit us at the Sword Sect sometime!"

The edge of the high-altitude island where the 'Talisman Sword' lineage is located.

Chi Jiuyu stood on the rainbow bridge leading to the outside world, saying goodbye to Yang Shuang, who had come especially to see him off.

Yang Shuang's expression was somewhat complicated:

"Yes, I'll definitely go when I have time."

"Then it's settled. I'll treat you to drinks later." Saying this, Chi Jiuyu glanced nervously around. "The wine my martial uncle gave me is amazing!"

Was it a gift from the Sword Ancestor?

But why alcohol?
A hint of doubt flashed through Yang Shuang's mind, but she was not surprised.

She had become numb with shock during this time.

At the same time, he also deeply realized the gap between himself, a so-called genius of the 'Talisman Sword' lineage, and a true peerless prodigy.

Despite cultivating the 'Talisman Sword' technique for so many years, she still hasn't passed the true lineage transmission of the 'Talisman Sword' technique, 'The True Explanation of the Supreme Talisman Sword'.

Chi Jiuyu has only been at the Supreme Dao Sect for a short time, yet he has not only passed the true method inheritance trial of "True Explanation of Supreme Talisman Sword", but also the trial of "True Talisman Scripture of Elucidating the Dao by Edict of the Void"!
Furthermore, according to her, the difficulty of this True Law Inheritance Trial is much simpler than that of the "Tai Xu Sword Canon" and the "Slaying Sword Canon".

It's absolutely heartbreaking...
