Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 583 Deceiving the Tai Xuan Realm
About half an hour later, at the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu walked out, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Mingyu, in particular, seemed somewhat dazed.

The news from Yuan, the choices given to them by the Sword Ancestor, the 'Ascension Plan' that had already begun, and how she inexplicably became a Celestial Network Deployment Envoy...

All these thoughts intertwined in her mind, leaving her feeling like her brain was a complete mess.

"Why don't you come back to Lingyinfang with me now?"

The sudden sound of Ning Wanzhu's voice brought her back to her senses.

"The personal node interface of the Immortal Network that your master gave you is anchored to the Ascension Platform of Lingyin Pavilion. You haven't been exposed to it before, so you can go there and get used to it for a while."

Shall we go to Lingyinfang?
Perhaps because she had just learned too much, her thinking was a little sluggish, and she shook her head in refusal after a moment of stunned silence.

"I came back in too much of a hurry this time. There are still some things that the Righteous Alliance needs me to take care of."

She rushed back this time, and only gave brief instructions to many places.

Now that things have reached a certain conclusion here, she naturally needs to return to the Righteous Alliance to make proper arrangements.

Then, silence fell between the two of them.

They walked down the mountain in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

We continued until we reached the halfway point of the mountain.

"Senior Sister, aren't you the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall? Shouldn't you be very busy? Why are you so free?"

"I am only the acting head of the hall, and my master has something for me to do today, so of course I must put my master's business first."

"Tch~ I think you're just using your senior uncle as an excuse to slack off."

Two distinct voices came from the clouds below.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu both paused and looked down at the stone steps.

Two figures emerged from the gray mist, bickering as they walked upwards.

"Once I become the sect leader, I won't be like you..."

Just as Chi Jiuyu was about to speak of his grand ambitions after becoming the sect leader, he caught a glimpse of the two people standing on the stone steps above.

He was immediately stunned!
"Senior Sister Ning, Senior Sister Ming?"

Chi Jiuyu was quite surprised.

She had met the two of them a few years ago when she went to Lingyinfang with her martial uncle, so they were not strangers.

Mingyu: "..."

Actually, her surname isn't Ming; her name is 'Ming Yu'.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Li." Ning Wanzhu first greeted Li Ke.

Li Ke nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more.

Although she and Mingyu had a good relationship, among the disciples of the Spirit Ancestor, she was only relatively familiar with Ning Wanyin.

Then, Ning Wanzhu smiled and looked at Chi Jiuyu:
"Long time no see, Junior Sister Jiuyu."

"Mmm! Long time no see!" Chi Jiuyu nodded, then glanced at the two of them and asked curiously, "You and Senior Sister Ming came here, it's not because of the Holy Emperor Abyss, is it?"

One is from Lingyinfang, and the other is from the Righteous Path Alliance.

Why would someone go to the Sword Sect for no reason?

They arrived here on the same day, and considering their shared 'attributes'...

Then there's no doubt about it!

It could only be something related to the Holy Emperor Abyss!

Ning Wanzhu shook her head slightly: "I'm not comfortable saying what it is specifically, these..."

"It's not something I should know!" Chi Jiuyu blurted out, then added, "I knew there was such a line."

Because she had heard it so many times, her 'supreme wisdom' had made her immune to the sense of frustration that would arise when she heard those words.

"Okay! I won't ask anymore." Scratching her head, she asked again, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes, now that things have been resolved, we should go back and take care of it as soon as possible," Ning Wanzhu explained. "I heard that Junior Sister Jiuyu went to the Supreme Dao Sect to further her studies in talisman swordsmanship, and it seems that she has made good progress."

"That's me! I..."

Chi Jiuyu was about to say something smug.

But recalling how he had tried to show off earlier and had been ridiculed by his senior sister, he simply shut up and said nothing more.

Afterwards, Li Ke avoided Chi Jiuyu and chatted briefly with Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu.

After learning of their choices, she didn't say much.

The two sides then parted ways.

……

……

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu continued down the stone steps.

Li Ke then led Chi Jiuyu to the Sword Ancestor's Hall at the top of the mountain.

In fact, Chi Jiuyu was particularly curious about what the three of them had just talked about, after all, Senior Sister Ning and Senior Sister Ming's expressions kept changing, and it was as if the words 'complex feelings' were written all over their faces.

However, I know that even if I ask, the answer I'll get will only be the same one.

So I simply stopped asking and started to speculate.

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister Ning and Senior Sister Ming came to our Sword Sect because of the Holy Emperor Abyss." Turning her head to look at Li Ke, she added, "Do you think it might be related to the 'Ascension'?"

As one of the third batch of ascended messengers, she is to travel to the outer world to carry out a mission.

Saint Emperor Abyss suddenly disappeared more than fifty years ago, and the Righteous Alliance searched the entire world but could not find him.

From this perspective, it's quite possible that he has also left this world.

Because of the appearance of 'Ascension', his master found his whereabouts, so he specially called Senior Sister Ning and Senior Sister Ming over.

Ah!
The speculation is quite reasonable!
No problem!
Li Ke: "..."

To be honest, that dead fisherman was quite perceptive.

Before long, the two reached the top of the mountain.

We entered the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

At the entrance of the dojo, Chi Jiuyu poked half his head out, preparing to observe the situation first.

However, after seeing everything inside...

Especially when she saw that figure, so strikingly beautiful and unforgettable...

Ok? !

What's up with Meizu here too?!

There was also a video call with the Spirit Ancestor!

wrong!

Is Senior Yuanjun here too?
She looked around, searching.

Seeing her peeking around, Meizu found it quite amusing and winked when she met her gaze.

Sword Master's disciple is much more fun!

Li Ke couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her, sending her flying into the dojo.

"you!"

Chi Jiuyu stumbled and turned around to glare angrily.

However, Li Ke didn't care and just stood at the entrance of the dojo.

Chi Jiuyu had no choice but to turn around and give Bie Xuening a sullen smile. He immediately stood up straight, put on a stern face, and gave a proper bow.

"Disciple greets Master, Uncle-Master, Senior Spirit Ancestor, Senior Charm Ancestor."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Meizu's voice in her ear.

"Hmm...why am I the last one in line?"

Chi Jiuyu was taken aback, then answered very honestly:

"Reporting to senior, I ranked them according to their level of intimacy."

Master and senior uncle need no introduction; they should be ranked first.

The Spirit Ancestor was very kind to her, not only giving her a branch of the Mysterious Candle Fruit Tree, but also personally cooking fish for her...

Meizu, senior...

Haven't we only met once?

“You’re quite honest,” Meizu said with a smile.

“That’s right.” Chi Jiuyu nodded in agreement.

She was an honest fisherwoman, so of course she wouldn't lie.

Bie Xuening remained calm, Xu Xing's eye twitched, but Mei Zu found it even more interesting.

Ning Ruo, standing in the light screen, simply shook her head and chuckled softly.

"Since everything is arranged, I'll hang up now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light screen projected in mid-air disappeared into thin air.

Is everything arranged? Does that mean Senior Sister Ning and Senior Sister Ming?
Chi Jiuyu kept guessing.

The dojo was quiet for a while until Xu Xing looked her up and down.

"It seems you gained quite a lot from your trip to the Supreme Dao Sect."

"Yes, Uncle-Master, I have passed the true method trials of the 'True Explanation of the Supreme Talisman Sword' and the 'True Talisman Scripture of the Elucidation of the Void', and my talisman sword cultivation has reached the level of 'Talisman Scripture and Sword Weft'."

Chi Jiuyu answered calmly.

"Not bad." Xu Xing nodded slightly. "Keep up the good work."

"..."

it is as expected.

Suddenly I'm starting to miss the island where the 'Spellblade' lineage lived...

"Since you're back, go back first. I'll let you know later," Bie Xuening said calmly.

"Oh……"

Since even the Demon Ancestor is here, and even the Spirit Ancestor made a video call from afar, it's obvious that something really happened.

About to leave.

"By the way, Master, where is Yue Ling?"

"Playing video games."

"But I looked and I couldn't find it."

"Play games here at your martial uncle's place."

That's it!

"Then this disciple will take his leave."

After bowing respectfully once more, Chi Jiuyu withdrew.

With outsiders present, she naturally had to give her master face and maintain the image of a 'good disciple'...

wrong!

She was originally her master's most loyal disciple!
Having such a thoughtful disciple is truly a master's good fortune!

Chi Jiuyu sighed inwardly as he left the dojo.

……

……

"Oh dear! Why did you let her go? I wanted to talk to her more." Meizu said with some regret, and immediately took out her phone again.

"Please recommend her friend to me!"

However, Bie Xuening ignored her and looked at Xu Xing instead.

Seeing this, Meizu pursed her lips, put away her phone, and prepared to add the friend herself later!
"Junior brother, are you sure that everything that happened in the Peaceful Realm has no impact on you?"

Upon hearing this, Meizu paused, then stopped smiling.

Xu Xing was also taken aback, somewhat confused, but quickly realized what was going on:
"Senior sister, are you referring to my choice to sever ties with my past?"

"Ah."

"..." Xu Xing smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

But Bie Xuening still looked at him, clearly not believing him.

Xu Xing had no choice but to continue explaining: "Because I severed my past, I indeed have no memories of what happened before I came to the Tai Xuan Realm."

Sure enough.

"However, I have always kept in my heart every memory and every thought since I came into this world."

The past is the past...

What he severed were all the things that existed before he crossed over to the Tai Xuan Realm.

Despite the various emotions he experienced after transmigrating to the Tai Xuan Realm, his feelings for his hometown remained completely intact.

"To some extent, my act of severing my 'past' deceived the Tai Xuan Realm."

Cut off the past.

But the memories, feelings, and even longing for his hometown have never faded.

When he crossed the threshold of enlightenment, he saw all that he truly understood, and it remained etched deep within his soul.

"Then why do you now act in your hometown...?"

"Because there's no escaping it now," Xu Xing sighed softly.

"I suppose this is also my personal reason."

“I originally thought that as long as I didn’t look for it or touch it, no one would find my hometown.”

No matter what happens in the Tai Xuan Realm, it will not affect one's hometown.

But after being tricked by Xuan and falling out of the Tai Xuan Realm, he realized that no matter how he hid his hometown, he could not escape the search of those with ulterior motives.

"Looking back now, it was nothing but self-deception."

"Since we can't avoid it, there's no need to hide so carefully anymore."

Of course, he wouldn't actively seek it out.

On the one hand, the final reckoning with Cangzu is approaching, and it is unknown how cruel it will be at that time.

From an emotional perspective, he really didn't want his hometown to be involved in the various things related to the Tai Xuan Realm.

On the other hand, he was also worried that if he took the initiative to search, Xuanhegu would realize the importance of his hometown to him and thus deliberately target him.

"What kind of world is your hometown, Brother Dao?" Meizu suddenly asked.

What kind of world is it?
"..." Xu Xing was silent for a while, then said softly, "It's just an ordinary world."

After arriving in the Tai Xuan Realm, he clearly felt the process of his transformation from weak to strong.

Especially the realization of one's true nature after reaching the threshold of enlightenment.

home……

Whether he is willing to admit it or not, his hometown is just an ordinary existence in the vast, chaotic sea, among countless worlds.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing suddenly smiled.

"By the way, Yuan and I come from the same place, so do you know why he came here? And why his cultivation progressed so quickly?"

"Could it be... related to you, Junior Brother?"

"I should say that it was caused by me."

……

……

On the other side of the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Doorway.

Chi Jiuyu stared in horror at the tall figure behind Yue Ling, whose appearance bore a striking resemblance to her master.

Who is this?
Could she be Master's sister?
"Lord Moon Shadow."

Li Ke, standing beside her, bowed, and Yueying nodded slightly.

This scene, however, made Chi Jiuyu even more horrified.

Ok? !

Is that the Ancestral Sword Moon Shadow?!
My martial uncle's natal sword!
Why does he resemble his master somewhat?!

Previously, when she went to Xuanjian City to pick up her martial uncle from seclusion, she briefly glanced at Yueying after the trial in the Moon Shadow Secret Realm.

However, I couldn't see its specific appearance clearly.

Before she could even process what had happened, she noticed Yueying looking at her.

Her jewel-like, sparkling eyes were surrounded by red eyeshadow; her eyes were expressionless, yet they exuded a tremendous sense of pressure.

Chi Jiuyu felt a dull pain in the back of his head.

"Not bad progress," Yueying said calmly.

Although the Sword Master's disciple is quite unreliable, his progress in cultivation is truly remarkable.

"Uh……"

Are you praising me?

They must be praising me, right?
Chi Jiuyu couldn't help but feel a little...satisfied.

'Calm down, Chi Jiuyu, you are the number one genius in all the heavens and myriad realms!'

'This is the one who struck you on the back of the head, damaging your supreme wisdom... a sword!'

She kept telling herself this, but she couldn't help herself.

Ah!
It must be because Yueying looks too much like her master!
In the end, she couldn't help but find reasons for herself in her mind before she could comfortably enjoy the joy of being praised.

But soon, Chi Jiuyu felt a throbbing sensation between his eyebrows!
"Lord Moon Shadow! Lord Moon Shadow!"

A spiritual voice kept echoing in my mind, filled with urgency and joy!
