Grandpa, times have changed.

Jishi Valley.

Then you can see many islands, large and small, floating in the sky, each with different kinds of spiritual herbs growing on it.

A grand array covering the entire Jishi Valley cast beams of mysterious light, adjusting the environment of each island to the most suitable level for the growth of spiritual herbs.

Between those islands, flickering flames and wisps of crimson light could be seen, as alchemists were gathering the pure spiritual energy of the void to nourish their alchemical furnaces.

Below the island rise towering mountains, with majestic peaks hidden in the misty clouds, waterfalls cascading down, and various auspicious lights faintly visible.

The rich spiritual energy gathered into mist, transformed into a spiritual spring, and meandered down the mountainside, merging into a spiritual river that flows into the distance.

Below the mountain stretched neat and orderly spiritual fields, seemingly endless.

At this moment, two figures walked along the ridge between two spirit fields, watching the automated magical artifacts moving back and forth across the fields, spraying spiritual liquid.

One of them was dressed in rough gray clothes, with a hunched back, white hair, and even somewhat cloudy eyes.

He seemed like just an ordinary old man.

闵。

The other person was dressed in a blue robe, with white beard and hair, and had an air of otherworldly grace.

It was none other than the Ancestor of Alchemy.

The two were dressed differently from the disciples of Jishi Valley who were wearing special spiritual robes, but no one gave them a second glance.

It was as if the two of them didn't exist.

"Although I've been looking forward to this day for years, now that the fight is about to begin, I still have mixed feelings."

Dan Zu sighed softly and then asked Min, who was walking behind him.

"What are your plans after everything is over, fellow Daoist?"

What are your plans...?

Min Yi, who was observing the experimental field, thought carefully for a moment before answering seriously.

"do not know."

He genuinely hadn't thought about these things.

"Perhaps I'll leave the Tai Xuan Realm and travel around."

"Beyond the boundary..." Dan Zu nodded slightly and invited, "How about we travel together then?"

There's no way around it, most of the other fellow cultivators have companions, and that guy Hongzun has even more...

Even that guy Huo found an apprentice.

Moreover, even if he didn't find a disciple, Danzu didn't want to travel with him.

Besides them, there are only Fellow Daoist Kui and Senior You left.

As for Fellow Daoist Kui... no need to say more.

Senior You is, after all, a senior, and it's not appropriate for him to travel with others.

So, all things considered, only Fellow Daoist Min is like him, a lone traveler who ventures beyond the realms...

Traveling with companions is always more interesting than traveling alone.

"it is good."

A smile appeared on Min Cang's aged face.

If he's still alive after all this is over.

……

……

Lingyinfang.

The Xuanzhu Fruit Tree Cave Heaven is located inside the mountain laboratory.

"That Lingzu summoned you and me here, but he himself is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he wanted to get rid of us?" Meizu guessed.

"She has no reason to do that."

Yuan Jun, sitting opposite her, said calmly.

“Why wouldn’t there be a reason!” Meizu raised an eyebrow and analyzed seriously, “Lingzu is the most cunning person. Maybe he just wants to get rid of us so he can go and unlock the special skill with Brother Dao…”

That's enough.

Seeing that the Demon Ancestor's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Yuanjun quickly stopped him.

However, she was also somewhat puzzled.

"At this point, don't you feel nervous at all?"

The final reckoning with the Cang Clan was about to begin, and even she found it difficult to remain calm, but Meizu acted as if nothing had happened.

"I'm nervous."

Meizu answered casually.

"But no matter how nervous you are, it won't change anything."

"And we've been preparing for so many years, I don't think we'll lose."

"So, it's better to just relax and have a more relaxed attitude."

As she spoke, she took out her phone, opened the chat app, and showed her their small group chat, which was mostly filled with her and Bie Xuening arguing.

"Look! In this respect, Sword Master is better than you."

Yuanjun: "..."

nonsense!

Someone like Sword Master is probably already thinking about how to cut down Xuan or kill Gu if a real fight breaks out.

It would be strange if she thought about all that.

"It seems you two get along quite well."

With a sudden sound, Ning Ruo appeared out of thin air.

After taking off her white coat and hanging it aside, it was revealed that she was still wearing a white shirt, her upper body tightly bound, the buttons seemingly about to burst open under the weight.

"Where have you been? You summoned me and Yuanjun, but you only showed up so late," Meizu scolded. "Quickly apologize."

"I'm sorry I'm late," Ning Ruo readily agreed.

Seeing how obedient she was, Meizu was somewhat surprised and decisively chose to push her luck.

"It's not enough to just talk the talk. Come over here and massage my shoulders. My shoulders are sore from waiting for you for so long."

Ning Ruo glanced at her.

Then, ignoring her words, he went around to the desk and sat down in the chair.

"I just had a chat with Brother Xu."

"See! I told you so!" Meizu immediately stirred up trouble.

Yuanjun ignored her and instead looked at Ningruo.

"Is it related to the reason you summoned us here?"

"More or less." Ning Ruo casually tossed a white ball of light about the size of a thumb, which spun and expanded until it became the size of a basketball and floated in the air.

Through the world's crystal wall system, one can see mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, and seas within it.

The landscape is magnificent.

Pavilions and towers, palaces and palaces, are nestled in famous mountains all over the world, yet not a single person is to be seen.

Judging from the scenery within its boundaries, this is clearly the realm of magic weapons!

"First, the 'Ascension Plan' must be stopped, and the Tai Xuan Immortal Network connecting the three major realms outside the world must also be temporarily shut down."

"Then the Tai Xuan Realm must also be completely sealed off until everything is over."

"But if we want to accomplish this in the short term without causing too much disruption, it might be a bit difficult for me to do it alone, so I need your help."

Over the years, although the immortal power that has kept the Immortal Network running comes from Brother Xu, she holds the vast majority of the core authority.

Moreover, she was the one who proposed the concept of the 'Ascension Plan', so she should be the one to suspend it.

“I understand,” Yuanjun said calmly. “I will try my best to cooperate with you.”

"I am too."

While we can play around and joke around as we please, we still need to be serious about important matters.

"Ah."

Ning Ruo nodded slightly and looked at the floating timeline of the Magic Weapon Realm in front of her.

"Another issue is how to settle cultivators below the Void Returning stage. Brother Xu's idea is to open up a timeline using the 'World Evolution Method'."

"Then we will directly take in the qualified cultivators and send them outside the realm. Once everything is over and the blockade of the Tai Xuan Realm is lifted, we will bring them back."

“I think this method is feasible. Brother Xu asked me to consult your opinions on whether there is any better way.”

Is a timeline designed to accommodate cultivators below the Void Return realm, sending them out of the Tai Xuan Realm to avoid the brunt of the final battle...?

"I have no objection."

Meizu paused, somewhat puzzled.

"But why are you the one asking for our opinion?"

"When we were talking about these things, I mentioned that you had some questions, so I asked you about them," Ning Ruo explained. "Brother Xu will handle the communication with the others."

As she spoke, she looked at Yuanjun again.

What about you? Do you have any suggestions, or a better approach?

"I have no objection either."

Yuanjun looked at the timeline of the Magic Weapon Realm.

"But one timeline is clearly not enough."

The Tai Xuan Realm is vast and boundless. The combined number of people below the Void Returning level could completely overwhelm this Nascent Soul level timeline.

Moreover, how to send those people into the timeline without causing major upheaval remains a problem.

wrong!

It's not that there's no way!
Before she could say anything, Meizu spoke first:
"Does Brother Dao mean to directly use the 'Realm Evolution' technique on the Tai Xuan Realm?"

Yuanjun glanced at her.

"But is that even possible?"

The Tai Xuan Realm is not comparable to ordinary worlds. Even with the 'Realm Evolution' technique, creating timeline branches is not an easy task.

Not to mention, it happened in a short period of time...

This idea seems rather far-fetched.

“Brother Xu said that without understanding the original meaning of ‘reason’, there is no certainty of moving forward, but it’s different now.”

"I understand."

The goddess said no more.

Since Brother Dao has brought up this possibility, it means he is absolutely confident in doing it.

It seems that after obtaining the original intention of 'reason', his progress has been greater than he expected.

Daoyuan...

What kind of realm is it exactly?

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Aside from these few true immortals.

Of the remaining True Immortals, Chen Huan took Hong Qingchen to the Supreme Dao Sect.

Unlike Hong Qingchen, who gets along very well with her older brothers and sisters.

Hongzun's Daoist partners in the Supreme Dao Sect felt pressured by the mortals who had already ascended to immortality, and had no choice but to unite to resist the 'powerful enemy'.

But that didn't help.

Even if they all united, they would still be easily 'defeated' when they actually faced the mortal world.

Tsk!
That scene was really interesting.

Fortunately, Chen Huan didn't go too far; he just played with them briefly before letting them go.

Even so, it still gave Hongzun, who was caught in the middle, a huge headache.

After all, you can't help either side, but you can't refuse to help either side either...

It's like being stubborn and blocking both ends.

Secondly, there's the "You" (幽).

Unexpectedly, he spent this time with Huo, and even went to see Xiao Fan.

And so, half a month later.

Most of the functions of the Immortal Network have been shut down, and the ascension quests have also been suspended.

Those with higher cultivation levels, probably from the late Nascent Soul stage to the Void Returning stage, all knew about the affairs between the human race and the Cang race.

The atmosphere of the seven major immortal sects thus became somewhat strange.

People are filled with anxiety...

It's not really that, just a bit of confusion, confusion about the future.

Many people still don't understand why the human race, which has always dominated the entire Tai Xuan Realm, would suddenly have such an incredibly powerful enemy race as the 'Cang Clan'.

Some of the top geniuses on the Immortal Sect Rankings learned that they would not be participating in this battle.

For a moment, I felt extremely conflicted, unsure whether to feel fortunate or resentful.

It was at this time that...

Yuan brought Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu to the Sword Sect. (End of Chapter)
