Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 656 The World Where the Transformation Ritual Begins
The Tribulation of Inner Demons...

Even more surprisingly, this change was triggered in the Chaos Sea.

Moreover, according to the Daoist, the changes triggered when each person touches the 'Source of the Dao' are different.

"what happened?"

Mengxuan, who was standing nearby, noticed Yuanjun's unusual behavior.

"It's nothing," Yuanjun replied while keeping an eye on the messages in the group. "It's just that Brother Dao just said something and cleared up some of my doubts."

just?

Could it be that true immortals are communicating with each other through thoughts?

Such a thought flashed through Mengxuan's mind, and then she heard Yuanjun continue:
"These things are not suitable for you to tell me for the time being, but you should already know the reasons, fellow Daoist."

"Mm." Mengxuan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Although she had once reached the level of 'Knocking on the Immortal Gate' and was a top expert in the Cave Realm.

But now, starting over, I've only just managed to rebuild my cultivation to the Void Return realm.

Even if no cultivator in the Void Returning Realm can compare to her, the Void Returning Realm is still just the Void Returning Realm. It's still too early to rashly come into contact with information at the True Immortal level.

"Looks like I need to hurry too," Mengxuan said.

Retracing her cultivation path, reaching the realms she had before attaining the Dao was no challenge for her.

If it weren't for the fact that this opportunity was so rare, and she wanted to broaden her horizons to solidify her foundation and prepare for future attempts to reach the Immortal Realm, achieving the Return to Emptiness in a single thought wouldn't be impossible.

After witnessing the prowess of the Sword Sect's top Void Returners during this trip to the Sword Sect, she plans to go into seclusion to advance to the Dao Integration Realm.

She didn't want to wait until the day the final battle began, only to find herself without even the right to participate.

Yuanjun didn't say much.

After all, Mengxuan was not her junior, but a fellow cultivator of the same era.

She must have considered the consequences before making every decision.

……

……

Soon after.

The Hehuan Sect, the Ancestral Master's Grotto.

Xu Xing has already explained the incident in the group chat.

After drinking three more cups of wine by themselves, Bie Xuening and Meizu finally returned to the place.

The two looked exactly the same as before their fight, with no change in expression, making it impossible to tell who had won or lost.

“Oh my~”

Then Meizu leaned back softly on the couch, her posture as languid as ever.

Before Xu Xing could speak, he preemptively asked, "Brother Dao, who do you think won between me and the Sword Master?"

She smiled warmly, while Bie Xuening remained calm.

Who's winning?
The answer to this question is not difficult to find.

"You and your senior sister should not have determined a winner."

The two are currently on the same level, with almost no difference between them...

At most, it just means that Meizu took longer to reach this level and has a better understanding of it.

However, this slight advantage, which is so small as to be negligible, is hardly effective.

Unless it's a matter of life and death, it might have some effect.

But if it really comes to that, Bie Xuening's ruthless nature will be brought to its fullest extent, and it's hard to predict who will stand in the end.

Meizu pouted.

She initially thought she could win, but once they started playing, she realized she was completely wrong.

Sword Master may be irritable, but he's a formidable fighter; his sword energy is terrifyingly powerful!

I even suffered a small loss at first because I wasn't paying attention...

However, through this exchange, she gained a deeper understanding of her current cultivation level.

Overall, I gained a lot!

"Why don't we let Yue Ling and Yue Ying come out and try the Xuan Zhu Fruit Wine I brewed?" Mei Zu suggested.

Xu Xing shook his head slightly: "Yueying said she didn't want to come out, but thank you anyway."

As expected. Meizu was not surprised at all.

Yueying dislikes seeing people, and she has always known that she was bribed by Yuanjun a long time ago.

Her target was Yue Ling. If she remembered correctly, the Sword Master's sword spirit, like her disciple Jiu Yu, was quite interesting.

Bie Xuening paused, initially unwilling to let her out, but sensing Yue Ling's agitated emotions, she suddenly changed her mind.

hum~
A white light flashed from Bie Xuening's hand, circled once, and landed in front of the table.

Yue Ling stared wide-eyed at Mei Zu with a fierce look.

"Bad woman!"

They actually dared to try and steal the Sword Ancestor from the Lord!
Meizu paused, then asked curiously, "What about Yuanjun and Lingzu?"

Yue Ling blinked, not reacting for a moment.

I've already scolded her, shouldn't her first reaction be anger? Why is she asking me questions instead?
Lord Yuanjun and Lord Lingzu...

"Have a drink first, think it over carefully before you answer."

With a gentle wave of her hand, Meizu sent a wine jar flying, filling a cup with wine, which then floated to Yue Ling's side.

"You should be able to drink, right?"

Looking at the pale red liquid in the glass in front of her, Yue Ling's nose twitched, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Does it taste good?"

"It's delicious! Don't believe me? Ask your Sword Ancestor."

"I'll think about it carefully..."

She held the wine glass with both hands and took small sips.

Bie Xuening remained very calm.

To be honest, she felt no particular emotion upon seeing this scene; it seemed she had grown accustomed to her sword's pathetic state.

It's also possible that she just had a fight and is currently in a relatively calm state of mind.

After briefly dismissing Yue Ling, Mei Zu turned her attention to Bie Xue Ning.

"I remember she used to call you 'Master,' why did she suddenly change how she addresses you?"

My Lord...

Isn't this how Yueying is referred to?
"Because she felt that this form of address was more mature, she started using Yueying's name," Bie Xuening said calmly.

Her own sword spirit was now constantly hanging out with that traitorous disciple, and she had given up hope that it could return to normal.

"certainly not!"

Yue Ling, who was sipping her Xuanzhu fruit wine, suddenly looked up, her tone serious.

"That's not the reason at all!"

She simply felt that using the title 'Lord' better reflected her unwavering loyalty and courage!
That's how the loyal sword spirit in "The Immortal Path" is addressed, and it has nothing to do with Sister Yueying.

And when did she become immature?
She is the ancestral sword of the Sword Sect, one of only two immortal swords in the Tai Xuan Realm!
"I just think that using 'My Lord' would be more appropriate!"

She claims she got inspiration from games, but Sword Ancestor, Lord, and that wicked woman would definitely think she's childish!

"Drink yours," Bie Xuening said.

"Oh."

Yue Ling obediently lowered her head.

Upon seeing this scene, Meizu felt a little puzzled once again.

Even though the Sword Master always acts like she's unapproachable, why are her disciples and her sword spirit so interesting?

His only apprentice, however, suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and always has a stern face...

That makes no sense!
"By the way, where's Jiu Yu?" she asked casually.

"They've gone on a mission." This time, it was Xu Xing who answered, "To a world that might be able to answer some of our questions."

The mission Chi Jiuyu was carrying out was very special; it was a world similar to the Xuanxiang Realm, a world that had been influenced by the Xuan.

The only difference is that the chosen cultivators in that world have successfully harvested the entire world and initiated the Transformation Ritual through Xuan's arrangements.

The ceremony was progressing very smoothly, but the cultivator failed to transform into a celestial being; he failed at the last moment of the transformation.
