Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 625 Yuan is still pedantic

After some time, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening left the mountaintop and descended to the mountainside.

A huge rock bulges outward, which was the only passage into the interior of the Moon Shadow Secret Realm when it was in this vicinity.

However, the Moon Shadow Secret Realm itself had already been given to Chi Jiuyu as a gift, so the passage here was naturally no longer valid.

but……

Xu Xing raised his hand and gently tapped it, causing ripples to spread across the space in front of him.

Gradually, the ever-expanding ripples began to become hazy and indistinct, as if the other end was connected to a world that was still in the process of being formed, a world in chaos and undifferentiated.

Yet this is exactly what happened.

"After I gave the secret realm used for nurturing the sword to Jiu Yu, I discovered that there were signs of a new secret realm emerging in the 'void' left behind by the sudden disappearance of the secret realm," Xu Xing explained.

Although it is smaller in scale and less developed in terms of internal rules, it cannot compare to the Moonshadow Secret Realm.

But that doesn’t mean this newly discovered secret realm is completely useless.

Conversely, influenced by the original Moon Shadow Secret Realm, once the new secret realm stabilizes, many cultivation resources such as spirit iron and spirit plants with sword-path attributes will appear within it.

"However, these newly created secret realms are quite dangerous inside, so I sealed them off."

At the time, he thought he should give the secret realm some time to evolve on its own. After many years, when the sealing measures he left behind became ineffective, perhaps some juniors who needed cultivation resources would accidentally enter the secret realm?

Hearing this, Bie Xuening nodded slightly, but did not say anything more.

After all, my junior brother has done similar things so many times over the years, so there's really nothing surprising about it.

Throughout history, among the cultivators in the Tai Xuan Realm who have had 'fortuitous encounters,' at least 30% of the lucky ones, if not 50%, were related to their junior brothers.

Back when she had just broken through the barrier to immortality and attained the status of a true immortal, she had learned from her junior brother to set up many inheritance caves, spiritual herb secret realms, and the like.

As a result, the first 'lucky one' to obtain the secret realm of the spiritual medicine she left behind was hunted down nearly twenty times in a month due to the ferocious nature of the supreme killing sword path, and was on the verge of death dozens of times.

In the end, he was taken in as a disciple by Ning Ruo, and only by being separated by the status of a True Immortal was he able to finally avoid the influence of the fierce and violent nature of the Supreme Killing Sword Dao.

After that, she quietly retrieved the 'adventures' she had left behind and never thought about such things again.

Looking at the newly formed secret realm still in its nascent stage:
"What are you going to do, brother?"

"I originally intended to wait for it to evolve on its own, but since my senior sister and I are here today, let's speed up the process."

After saying that, Xu Xing stepped inside.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bie Xuening followed.

The two crossed the boundary between the real world and the secret realm and arrived inside the secret realm.

Looking around, all I could see was a chaotic mass, with no distinction between up and down, or between the four directions; even the concept of 'space' was not yet fully formed.

Even if it were the most professional 'Return to Void' level secret realm development team in the Tai Xuan Realm, it would probably take more than a month to stabilize this newly formed secret realm.

Of course, it was very simple for Xu Xing.

Raise your hand and make a flat, forward sweeping motion.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a ray of light suddenly shone through the chaotic and misty secret realm.

Pure and bright, yet possessing an undeniable and irresistible absolute power.

Rumble!
The originally hazy and chaotic new secret realm was directly divided into two distinct parts by the appearance of this ray of light.

As the concept of 'space' has been perfected.

The pure Yang energy rises and transforms into the heavens.

The turbid yin energy sinks down and condenses to form the earth.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Xu Xing raised his hand and pointed again, as casually as if he were scribbling on rice paper, and a bright spot of light appeared abruptly in the sky.

Soft and bright light poured down, covering the entire world and illuminating this newborn land.

After finishing everything, Xu Xing withdrew his hand:

"All right."

Bie Xuening glanced at the barren secret realm.

Because the land had only recently stabilized, it was currently barren, with no vegetation covering it whatsoever.

"Aren't you going to continue?"

"Accelerating to this extent is about right," Xu Xing said with a smile. "Let's just wait for it to evolve on its own from here on out."

Ding Dong!

A message notification tone suddenly sounded.

Bie Xuening paused, took out her phone and checked it, only to find that the signal was full.

It should be noted that her current phone has not undergone any special modifications, and in theory, such a secret realm isolated from the real world should not have any spiritual network signal.

That leaves only one possibility—

While accelerating the creation of the secret realm, my junior brother also managed to connect the spirit network...

I wonder what the lucky ones who are destined to enter this secret realm will think when they discover this.

With that thought in mind, she looked at the pop-up message.

Rebellious disciple: "Master, did you take Xiaoyunlu out with your uncle? /Angry"

The traitor: "If I hadn't asked Xiaoyunlu, I wouldn't have known!!! / Red-Warm Little Shark"

Two messages were followed by a pleasant ringtone.

'The other party has invited you to a video call'

Upon seeing this, Bie Xuening casually clicked "reject," then exited the chat and put away her phone.

Turning to look at Xu Xing beside her, she found that he had also just shifted his gaze from his phone screen and met her eyes.

"It seems that Jiu Yu is also on her way. What do you think, Senior Sister?"

"She doesn't really look at it; she comes whenever she wants."

……

……

Evening, Xuanjian City No. 3 Middle School.

The sunset in the distance was magnificent.

Zhang Yunlu sat alone on a bench beside the school playground, watching the figures chatting and laughing as they walked out of the school gate in the distance.

The familiar yet unfamiliar scene left her somewhat dazed.

To be honest, her time at Xuanjian City No. 3 Middle School, especially the two years of high school, was not very pleasant.

After all, she has a rather 'independent' personality, so she not only doesn't have many friends, but she also offended her homeroom teacher because of the tutoring class.

But after returning to the school and taking a walk around today, she couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

At this moment……

call out--!
With a deafening roar as if the air had been torn apart, a streak of sword light crashed to the ground, sending shockwaves surging in all directions and even swirling up fallen leaves.

"Phew! We finally made it!"

The familiar voice startled Zhang Yunlu.

After the air currents dissipated, Chi Jiuyu's figure appeared where the sword light had just fallen.

"Senior sister? You really came?!"

"Of course!" Chi Jiuyu said with a hint of resentment. "Master and Uncle went out to play together but only brought you along without telling me!"

This is the first time Master has left the Sword Sect!
They didn't even bring her, their most loyal disciple!

That's so unfair!
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister. Master and Uncle said you've been very busy lately, so they couldn't take you with them..." Zhang Yunlu said with some guilt.

"Very busy?! I..."

Chi Jiuyu was about to retort, but the next second she suddenly remembered that she had told her master that she was 'very busy' herself.

The buff of "deep master-disciple relationship" had just worn off. One day at noon, her master suddenly asked her if she had any free time recently.

However, she had only invited Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Xuanxuan, so she told her master that she was very busy lately...

hiss~!

So it seems my master had already asked me that question a long time ago!

In an instant, Chi Jiuyu's resentment subsided considerably.

emm...

It's still Master's fault for not explaining things clearly back then. If he had explained things clearly, I wouldn't have said those things!

I can still find the time I need!

As she was thinking, she walked over and sat down next to Zhang Yunlu.

"By the way, Xiaoyunlu, I remember when you were in this school, your homeroom teacher used to isolate you, right?"

Ok?
Isn't this topic jumping around way too fast?

It took Zhang Yunlu a while to react.

"Yes, that's true..." She paused, looking ahead, "but it's all in the past, and I don't want to pursue it any further."

After these years of experience, she no longer cares about such trivial matters.

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Chi Jiuyu said seriously. “If you don’t avenge a wrong, aren’t you just making yourself miserable? At the very least, that guy with no professional ethics should be expelled!”

Targeted tutoring without enrolling in regular classes?!

Back then, Yunlu was just a child!
"But... he's already been fired."

Unlike Chi Jiuyu, Zhang Yunlu became known throughout the Tai Xuan Realm after she had been a disciple of Bie Xuening for some time.

It hasn't happened for many years that a patriarch of a celestial sect has accepted a disciple.

The principal wasn't stupid; of course, he couldn't keep a teacher who had made things difficult for the disciples of the founding master.

This was all without Zhang Yunlu doing anything.

If they were to do it, not only would Xuanjian City No. 3 Middle School be subject to a major overhaul, but all schools in Xuanjian City, Jianzhou, and even under the jurisdiction of the Sword Sect would be rectified.

"Eh?"

Chi Jiuyu was taken aback.

The "Don't underestimate a young person's potential" stunt ended before it even began?
"And what happened to him afterwards was pretty bad..."

Zhang Yunlu only learned about the fate of her former homeroom teacher, Fang Chi, today.

After being dismissed for his conduct as a teacher and a series of disciplinary violations, Fang Chi initially resisted, but to no avail.

Later, Fang Chi, for some unknown reason, actually decided to use the gimmick of 'cultivating disciples of the ancestral master of the immortal sect' to open a tutoring class.

And it's true, quite a few people are flocking to it, rushing to send their children to tutoring classes.

Fang Chi also did very well during that period.

But who is Zhang Yunlu's master?
Even Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu, his disciples, always encounter unexpected events when carrying out missions under the sway of the Lord of Limitless Slaughter.

Fang Chi's fate is self-evident, given his willingness to use such a gimmick.

Fang Chi was sleeping when a drunken swordsman who was wielding a sword barged into his house and pierced through his dantian with a single sword strike, shattering his already fragile golden core.

Later, on the way to the hospital, because the delivery was delayed by a few seconds, the reversed and dissipated magical power damaged part of the leg nerves.

Although he was eventually saved.

However, not only did his cultivation level drop to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but his legs also lost all feeling due to the accumulated magical power.

Even after investing all the money earned from tutoring classes, the patient was only barely cured.

They want compensation from that Golden Core sword cultivator...

That sword cultivator was penniless; his only valuable possession, a flying sword, was damaged by the impact of Fang Chi's shattered golden core.

After the battle, he not only gained nothing, but also fell from the Golden Core stage to the early Foundation Establishment stage.

It can be considered that karma has finally caught up with them.

After hearing everything that had happened, Chi Jiuyu scratched his head.

A Golden Core cultivator dared to use such a gimmick to open a tutoring center, and in the end, he still didn't die...

Xiao Yunlu's former appointment as troupe leader was quite impressive!
……

……

At night, the moon and stars are rare.

Sword Sect Inner Sect.

Xu Xing stood alone in front of the Sword Ancestor's Hall, gazing into the distance.

This trip was just to accompany Bie Xuening away from the sect to relax, and we'll naturally be back in the evening.

On the other hand, Bie Xuening herself is not actually a person who likes to travel around.

The reason I went out for a walk this time is because I have been guarding the Sword Sect for many years, so I just wanted to go out for a while.

suddenly!

Xu Xing seemed to sense something and turned to look at his side.

At that very moment, an ordinary-looking figure with a gentle demeanor suddenly appeared.

"Good evening, fellow Daoist." He smiled.

She seems very approachable.

The visitor was none other than Huo.

"Fellow Daoist, have you come to the Sword Sect so late to see me? Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing serious, but there's something I'd like to ask you, Brother Dao." Huo's smile faded, and his expression became more serious. "I heard that you're preparing to start searching for Yuan's whereabouts?"

“That’s right.” Xu Xing paused. “Why are you asking this, fellow Daoist?”

“Yuan is my closest friend, and I was just expressing my concern for my old friend.”

Xu Xing: "..."

Are you serious?
But Yuan himself probably doesn't think so, right?
And the reason they came to see me so late at night was because of Yuan...

If I hadn't seen a remnant of Yuan's soul before and knew that you were spying on him every day, I would have suspected that you and Yuan had some improper dealings!
Huo's obsession with Yuan made Xu Xing involuntarily mutter a few complaints in his mind.

"If there's anything I can do to help with this, please don't hesitate to ask, brother. I'll do my best to help!"

"..." Xu Xing was silent for a while, "Then there is no need to trouble you, fellow Daoist. We will still need you to put in more effort for the ancient and central continents."

"After all, there are various things outside the boundary that I need to take care of, so it's really hard to be distracted."

Regardless of whether Yuan himself wanted to go to him, Xu Xing himself did not want to involve Huo in this matter.

"Alright then." Huo's tone carried a hint of regret, but she quickly changed the subject: "Do you have any clues about Yuan now?"

"I suppose... there are some."

There's no need to hide this.

"After he left the Tai Xuan Realm, the spirit of the World Evolution Instrument he created also followed him..."

Xu Xing told Huo about Yin Ling's situation.

This includes the fact that Yinling lost her physical foundation, resulting in the loss of her spirituality, and that Yuan is searching for a suitable world to create a body for her.

Huo listened quietly, then smiled.

“Yuan is still a bit pedantic.”

In his view, this was actually very easy to solve.

"The Chaos Sea is boundless, and the countless realms are like sand. Why not just find a world where no human beings exist, refine it, and forge a physical foundation there?"
