Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 635 Taiyi Realm

After another bow, the two stumbled away, looking as if they couldn't even find their way.

This is normal.

After all, the 'chaos' and 'disorder' of unfamiliar realms are far beyond what the differences in world rules experienced by ascended envoys when carrying out missions can be compared to.

Even with their current cultivation level, it would take them several days to readjust and adapt.

Watching the two leave, Ning Ruo looked at Xu Xing:

"In that case, why don't we stay at Lingyinfang for a while?"

"Ah."

Bie Xuening's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes flickered slightly.

Yuanjun's expression was obscured because her eyes were covered by a white veil.

Neither of them spoke, after all, they had been at a disadvantage in their previous 'confrontations' with Ning Ruo.

Moreover, this time is different from before...

Sure enough, the ancestor of the Demonic Clan spoke first.

"Since you're staying, Brother Dao, then I'll stay at Lingyin Pavilion for a while as well. I haven't been out much these past few years, so please remember to arrange a place for me to stay."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand.

A pure white Xuanzhu Fruit, emitting a faint glow, appeared abruptly in her hand.

Gently bite through the peel, and pure, hazy flesh flows out, like colorful sunset glow.

"This fruit tastes good. You must have a lot in stock. Can I have some?"

Although she ate the Xuanzhu Fruit, she did not spew forth a burst of radiant light from her mouth like Chi Jiuyu had before.

He's a true immortal, after all!
Ning Ruo: "..."

This guy really doesn't hold back at all.

"Don't worry, don't worry! I won't take yours for nothing. I'll exchange it for some wine I brewed myself!"

She took out a jade wine jar, the wine inside, resembling a rainbow, swayed gently, appearing extremely mystical.

"My wine is delicious. Not only does Brother Dao like it, but even Sword Master's disciple Jiu Yu likes it very much."

Ning Ruo glanced at Bie Xue Ning.

Bie Xuening remained expressionless.

After a moment of silence, Ning Ruo asked calmly, "How many do you want?"

"Of course the more the better."

"Three hundred?"

"Ok, Ok."

Meizu nodded slightly and took out two more jars, placing them next to the previous one.

"Then I'll trade you three jars of wine."

“Okay.” Ning Ruo didn’t waste any more words. “I’ll have Wan Yin take you to choose one.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Wanyin appeared behind Ning Ruo.

"Wanyin, take her to choose three hundred Xuanzhu Fruits."

"Yes."

Ning Wanyin responded with a straight face, then walked around the table to Meizu's side.

"Senior, please follow me."

And so, Meizu left with Ning Wanyin.

After dealing with the most troublesome one, Ning Ruo stood up and looked at Yuan Jun and Bie Xue Ning.

“Since you came to Lingyin Pavilion together, why don’t you and Yuanjun stay a little longer?” Xu Xing suddenly said. “We can go back together after things are settled here.”

Ning Ruo paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She never expected that the fellow Daoist who had been avoiding these matters would say such a thing.

Is it 'Dao Wang'?
Or perhaps it was his decision...

Ning Ruo guessed in her heart, looking at the two of them:

"What do you think?"

……

……

after a while.

Yuanjun followed Ningruo to her laboratory to help adjust the immortal network and optimize the project.

After successfully picking three hundred fresh Xuanzhu fruits under Ning Wanyin's guidance, Meizu returned to the room next to the one arranged for her and found Bie Xuening.

As for Xu Xing...

They arrived at the outer gate of Lingyinfang.

"So? What's their decision...?"

Inside a park in Lingyinfang.

Across from Xu Xing was a man of ordinary appearance and gentle temperament.

But it was a mystery.

That's right, he also came to Lingyinfang.

"We're still considering it. After all, they just got back, so they need to rest for a while first."

"That's it..."

His tone was tinged with a hint of regret.

He felt that Yuan's two female confidantes had some misunderstandings about him.

That's how it was back then. He just wanted to communicate more with Yuan and get to know each other better. He even helped him fend off Gu's spying.

As a result, they misunderstood him and later went to Yuanjun to sever their karmic ties and avoid him...

So many years have passed, and I thought the misunderstanding had been cleared up, but it turns out that Yuan's confidante still harbors deep suspicion towards me.

Hey~
He was Yuan's closest friend, so how could he possibly harm him?

"Brother Dao, didn't you initially intend to keep me out of this matter? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

“They have to be given a choice.” Xu Xing paused, then continued, “Actually, I’m also a little curious as to why you care so much about Yuan’s affairs.”

Because of some past experiences, Huo's behavior has become somewhat... capricious.

In my memory, even those people he had 'given good fortune' to, he never seemed to care about them this much.

"Is it because he looks somewhat like Fellow Daoist 'Cheng Xi'?"

Upon hearing this, Huo paused, his smile momentarily freezing, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Why would you think that, fellow Daoist?"

"I want to find Yuan simply because he is my good friend."

"Moreover... Yuan is not like him."

Hearing this, Xu Xing didn't say anything more and turned to walk out of the park.

"Whatever decision they make, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Then thank you very much, Brother Dao!" Huo said to Xu Xing's departing figure.

Only after Xu Xing's figure completely disappeared around the corner did the enigmatic smile gradually fade, and he walked to a bench under a snow mulberry tree and sat down.

Looking up ahead, several tourists were taking photos under the snow mulberry tree.

Cheng Xi...

A flicker of disbelief crossed his eyes.

I haven't heard this name in many years.

"You and I are both wrong. How could those vile and lowly demons and beasts be trustworthy..."

He murmured quietly.

……

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ning Ruo and Yuan Jun readjusted the Immortal Network based on the information about the unfamiliar realms that Ming Yu and Ning Wanzhu brought back during the construction of the Immortal Network connection nodes.

Incidentally, the Immortal Cleansing Pool and Ascension Platform, as well as some of Ning Ruo's experimental products, were also optimized.

After a few days of rest, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu have finally adjusted their condition.

At the same time, it was decided to use that wisp of doubt to condense into an incarnation of doubt and go to investigate outside the planned area of ​​that realm.

"Although the 'Doubt Avatar' formed in this way can temporarily borrow the power of doubt to help you cross boundaries, the avatar will not receive the blessing of the Celestial Net."

Lingyin Pavilion Ascension Hall. Inside the bright and magnificent hall, Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu stood on the central platform of the Ascension Platform.

Not far ahead of them were Xu Xing, Ning Ruo, Bie Xuening, Yuan Jun, and Mei Zu.

Besides them, there was also Li Wanwan, the sect leader of Lingyin Pavilion. She stood quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on the central hub of the Ascension Platform without shifting her focus.

He acted as if he hadn't seen or known anything.

At this moment, Xu Xing was explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the 'Doubt Incarnation' to the two of them.

"In other words, once the borrowed power is exhausted, you will have to adapt to and explore that world on your own."

Of course, this is not to be stingy with one's strength.

However, borrowing too much is ultimately not a good thing.

After all, he was the progenitor of the demonic path...

“That’s enough,” Ning Wanzhu said. “Please ask Sword Ancestor to convey my gratitude to Senior Huo.”

Ning Wanzhu felt a little guilty.

After all, she and Yuan had gone to great lengths to find a way to get rid of Senior Huo's entanglement.

But now we are relying on Senior Huo's power to find the Abyss...

In a way, Senior Huo's actions can be considered as forgiving past grievances.

"Yes, I will pass on your gratitude to him."

After saying this, Xu Xing slowly opened his hands.

A strange stream of light, constantly changing colors, appeared in his palm.

Even a glimpse of it would fill an ordinary person with endless doubts.

"go."

A stream of light rose up, circled the Ascension Hall once, and then landed at the center of the Ascension Platform, stopping in front of the two people.

"Among all living beings in this world, who can be without doubts?"

It sounded like the low murmurs of countless creatures, or like the loud chanting of billions of people.

Gentle and melodious, yet also high-pitched and passionate.

Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu felt their vision blur for a moment. The doubts that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time were magnified infinitely.

What were Yuan's original thoughts when he created Yinling?
Once Yuan has collected enough spiritual objects, what kind of body will he create for Yinling?
How far have things progressed between Yuan and Yinling over the years?

……

Since the purpose of this trip is to explore that world and find Yuan's whereabouts, the two people's suspicions are amplified and are related to Yuan and Yinling.

But soon.

Sword Ancestor and Master/Spirit Ancestor, as well as several other patriarchs...

Buzz~!

A sliver of sword light, like a spark, flashed and disappeared, stopping further amplification of doubts.

"That's enough."

The clear and peaceful voice entered their ears, instantly restoring their senses to clarity.

Looking in front of him, he saw a figure that looked exactly like himself, but appeared somewhat ethereal and semi-transparent.

The perception and consciousness are completely synchronized, which is no different from the ordinary method of incarnation.

Furthermore, upon closer examination, one can discover that the combat power wielded by this 'Doubt Avatar' is exactly the same as that of the original.

But that's all.

'I think I was just thinking about something extraordinary.'

A thought flashed through their minds.

"How are you feeling?" Ning Ruo asked.

Mingyu snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "Reporting to Senior, it feels the same as a normal incarnation technique, without any discomfort."

“Me too,” Ning Wanzhu quickly added.

"Well, let's go."

next second.

As the cross-realm procedure of the Ascension Platform and the channel of the Tai Xuan Immortal Network were generated, the two of them immediately disappeared from the central hub of the Ascension Platform.

As the only one capable of projecting his power beyond the boundary, Xu Xing followed the interdimensional passage generated by the Tai Xuan Immortal Network and watched as the two, along with the 'Doubt Avatar,' left the Tai Xuan Realm with the assistance of the interdimensional program.

After the two and the 'Avatar of Doubt' reached a certain 'height', they began to flash frequently, just like before, and sped away into the distance.

Turning his gaze away, Xu Xing looked at the people beside him.

"It's alright, everything went smoothly."

“In that case…” Bie Xuening said calmly, “Junior brother, let’s go back.”

"Hey? Why don't we stay another night and see how things go?" Meizu said. "It's not often that everyone can be here together, so we can use this opportunity to get to know each other better."

“There’s no need for that,” Yuanjun also said.

"Don't say that, I'll just call you 'sister' from now on..."

Li Wanwan stood to the side, inwardly groaning.

It doesn’t matter if you leave, it doesn’t matter if you don’t leave.

Actually, she only heard the sentence, "The chances of everyone being here are rare," and then she couldn't hear anything after that.

But she could fully imagine what was happening right now.

After all, most people in Lingyinfang knew that their ancestor was in love with the Sword Ancestor.

The Sword Venerable Ancestor and the Sword Ancestor were childhood sweethearts who went through many difficult years together, a fact recorded in the biographies and legends of the entire Tai Xuan Realm.

As for Ancestor Yuanjun and Ancestor Meizu...

It is obvious that his situation is similar to that of his own ancestor.

If I stay here any longer, what if the patriarchs think I know too much and try to silence me?
If you ask her, she suggests that Sword Ancestor should just do what Grandmaster Hongzun did, since no one would dare to say no.

Li Wanwan kept cursing in her heart.

However, for the sake of their own safety, they outwardly kept their eyes and noses closed, trying their best to minimize their presence.

……

……

Outside the Taixuan world.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu, along with their own 'doubts' avatars, swiftly crossed the Chaos Sea.

After seventy-eight standard hours, the two arrived at the boundary of the [Second Abyss Realm] once again.

The surrounding light disappeared, and Ning Wanzhu, Mingyu, and the 'Doubt Avatar' stopped at the boundary, gazing at the unfamiliar realm that was only a line away.

Looking at it now, the perceptions are quite different from when I first stopped at the border and looked out.

The nodes of the celestial network flickered on and off, like stars constantly twinkling in a dark sky.

The 'disorder' and 'chaos' I felt before still exist, but they have become much 'lighter'.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately stepped across the boundary.

In a flash.

An immense pressure surged in from all directions, and all senses became disordered at that moment.

But I didn't get that feeling of 'upside down, front and back out of order' like last time.

"How are you feeling?" Ning Wanzhu asked.

Mingyu nodded: "It's alright."

After confirming that everything was alright, the two looked at the 'Incarnation of Doubt' beside them.

A thought!
The two 'Incarnations of Doubt' instantly transformed into a stream of light that constantly changed colors. This higher-level power, surpassing everything, tore through the chaos and rushed straight towards the dazzling and bright 'World Guardian of All Realms' in the distance.

When using only three standards.

The 'Incarnation of Doubt' crossed the designated boundary and arrived near that peculiar world cluster.

Dazzling and bright.

That's my first impression.

Regardless of type or energy level!
At a glance, countless worlds shimmer like stars, their light rising and intertwining, vying to illuminate each other.

Surrounded by countless worlds, there is an exceptionally powerful world, whose every breath causes countless worlds to shimmer in response.

Neither stars nor grains of sand can adequately describe the difference.

This is a world far more powerful than the Peaceful Realm, with an energy level reaching the Profound Realm, and only one step away from achieving transformation!
