Grandpa, times have changed.

It burned out...

It really burned completely out!
Even with Yiyi's help, she felt like her brain was about to burn out.

At this rate, even without the 'Mediterranean Technique' taught to me by the Demon Ancestor, I'm afraid I'll end up with a receding hairline.

"Lord Yu Yu?"

Yu Yi retrieved the sword threads she had used for her work and floated to Chi Jiu Yu's side.

Unlike Chi Jiuyu, who was practically half-dead and like a salted fish, she appeared radiant.

The sheer amount of work didn't tire her out; instead, it excited her even more.

"What's wrong……"

Chi Jiuyu responded weakly.

"Do you still want to become the Sword Sect Master?"

Based on the state that Master Yu has shown these past two days, she is very worried that after these two days of work, Master Yu will give up her dream of becoming the sect leader of the Sword Sect.

"Of course I want to!"

Chi Jiuyu sat up abruptly, his eyes wide, his tone firm and forceful.

These tasks were merely a test of her unparalleled wisdom!

"I will never give up on becoming the Sword Sect Master! Bah!"

Xiao Qingchen often makes "da da da" sounds, and even she got infected by it.

"Yes! I will definitely help you!" Yu Yi said solemnly.

"Uh-huh."

After nodding, Chi Jiuyu slumped back into the chair, reverting to her listless and lethargic state.

"I'll go get you something to drink, my lord!"

As she spoke, Yu Yi floated out of the sect master's hall.

While slumped in the chair, Chi Jiuyu took out her phone, opened the chat app, and clicked on the 'Tai Xuan Temporary Boss Elderly Mutual Aid Group'.

That's right, she created this group.

Inspiration...

It's from that group chat with my master and uncles!

Sword Sect Master: "Is everyone awake yet?"

Sword Sect Master: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise; the early bird catches the worm."

Sword Sect Master: "@All Members"

After she finished her work here, of course she had to put pressure on the others.

Otherwise, how could I justify all the hard work I've put in!
Master of Jishi Valley: "I simply don't have time to sleep / I feel wronged"

Master of Jishi Valley: "There's too much to do / *crying*"

The Supreme Dao Sect Master: "You can give the position of sect master to your senior sister / Sincerely"

Sect Master of Jishi Valley: "That won't do."

Group member 'Master of Jishi Valley' retracted a message.

Sect Master of Jishi Valley: "This arrangement was made by the sect based on the overall qualities of its members; there's nothing I can do about it."

The Sect Master of Jishi Valley: "The position of Sect Master is no small matter; how can it be privately bestowed upon someone?" /Serious

The sect leader of Jishi Valley: "I know you like my senior sister's sister, but this isn't how you fawn over her."

The leader of the Hehuan Sect: "/thumbs up"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect: "Teaching you how to have high emotional intelligence in relationships #Click the link to view"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect: "You're welcome."

The Supreme Dao Sect Master: "..."

Thank me for nothing!
Don't think I don't know, this is your little romance story, and you have to pay to read the second half.

I secretly subscribed last time, and my younger sister laughed at me for a long time afterward.

Sword Sect Master: "Huh? It seems like this 'dog brother' you shared has already seen it, hasn't he?"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect: "Thank you for your support @The leader of the Taishang Dao Sect"

Sect Master of the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect: "No."

The Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect Master: "Why is there a charge for this?"

The leader of the Hehuan Sect: "You won't lose out, you won't be cheated/Sincerely recommended."

Lingyin Sect Master: "Just wondering, have you all finished your work?"

She was starting to question the meaning of life.

I'm exhausted, like a dog, and I still have a ton of things to do.

Why are these people acting like nothing's wrong, still chatting in the group?

Sword Sect Master: "I already said I just woke up, and there's not much to do. / Have some tea."

Just then, Yu Yi floated in, carrying a bowl of rice noodles and a cup of hot tea suspended by a sword thread.

"Master Yu, you'd better finish eating quickly, or it won't taste good if it soaks for too long!"

She ran to the outer gate to buy it, using the sect leader's special passage with no speed limit.

"Thank you, Yiyi."

Having a sword spirit like Yiyi is truly my good fortune.

It's Yiyi's good fortune to have a sword master like herself!

They are a sword master and a sword that complement each other, and they will surely become legends that will be sung by the world in the future!

Place steaming hot rice noodles and hot tea on the table.

I took a picture with my phone.

Sword Sect Master: "/image"

Sword Sect Master: "I'm going to have breakfast."

Master of Jishi Valley: "/The little shark has stopped thinking."

Lingyin Pavilion Master: "..."

Both of them were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he was even several decades older than her. Not only could he not match Chi Jiuyu in supernatural abilities and skills, but he couldn't even match her in this aspect.

The Hehuan Sect Master: "Are you in the Sword Sect Master's Hall?"

Sword Sect Master: "Yes."

Sword Sect Master: "I need to get back to work after breakfast. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Hey!

Are you questioning the meaning of life?
Chi Jiuyu grinned, opened the rice noodles that Yu Yi had brought, and prepared to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

"Ding!"

A crisp alarm bell rang, followed by a cold, mechanical tone.

"You have new work arrangements."

Chi Jiuyu's expression immediately fell.

……

……

at the same time.

At the outer sect of the Sword Sect, everything was as normal as ever. The 'disappearance' of cultivators at the Void Returning stage and above had no impact whatsoever.

The first floor of the Dharma Transmission Building.

Zhang Yunlu, who was temporarily acting as the head of the Transmission Hall, was organizing the last batch of crystal cards that recorded "Shuofeng Sword Technique 3.71" and placing them into the top shelf with a wisp of sword energy.

Then he turned around and returned to the entrance of the Dharma Transmission Building.

Behind the counter for loan registration, Hong Qingchen was sitting in a chair, shaking his head and swinging his legs, shoveling food into his bowl of spirit rice.

Ever since Xiao Qingchen could remember, she had always followed her senior sister around.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," after six years of getting along, her every move bore the shadow of her senior sister.

"Senior Sister!"

She spotted Zhang Yunlu approaching and immediately scooped up a spoonful of spirit rice:
"Would you like a bite too?"

The rice grains are round like pearls, with a bluish-green color, just like they are carved from jade, and they exude a refreshing fragrance.

It is said to be a kind of spiritual rice personally cultivated by Senior Hongzun based on Xiao Qingchen's physique.

It tastes very good.

Moreover, the method is very simple; just steam it for ten minutes.

"No need, you can eat it yourself."

"Oh……"

She lowered her head again and continued to eat her rice while humming and groaning.

Senior Sister Yunlu has a rather cold personality, so she's always been a little afraid of her...

Overall, though, she still really liked this senior.

After all, Senior Sister Yunlu had been very kind to her, giving her many gifts since she was a child, including a pair of very beautiful dragon horns.

Soon, Zhang Yunlu returned to the registration desk.

She sat next to Hong Qingchen and looked up at the sky.

hope……

all the best.

……

……

Time just passed by little by little.

Soon, six months had passed.

Within the timeline.

Thanks to the efforts of the seven acting patriarchs, Chen Yuanlin as acting speaker, and many others, the social order in the Central Continent remained stable.

However, in the starry sky, because of the disappearance of the guardians, some alien races in certain areas have already noticed something was wrong.

However, since the alien races in the star system generally lack 'leapfrog-level' escape techniques, and their highest level is only at the Nascent Soul stage, it is difficult for them to establish a stable communication channel even between two adjacent planetary systems.

Not to mention traveling countless light-years to cause trouble on human-inhabited planets.

On a cosmic scale, half a year is far too insignificant.

But in the true Tai Xuan Realm.

The remaining humans and Cang tribes were busy preparing for the upcoming war.

The countless stars in the four star regions are connected and integrated by countless psionic runes.

Within the high walls, where swords gleamed, various grand formations were linked together.

Planetary systems on which billions of lives depend for survival, galaxies with hundreds of billions or even trillions of stars, and even superclusters encompassing tens or hundreds of thousands of stars, have all become part of the grand array through the linking of psionic runes.

A vast causal network covers every corner of the four star regions, and each secondary node is guarded by one or even several Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

There are 3,217 main nodes, overseen by Tongxuan.

The remaining 217 Dongzhen each held a portion of the great array authority, distributed across the four star regions, and directly obeyed the Yuanjun.

Even if all the psionic runes break after the battle begins, the causal network and the existence of the Cave Immortals will keep the great array running.

Of course, the same is true for the starry sky beyond the high walls and the sword light.

Their formation was no weaker than that of the human race.

After all, the human race is developing, and so is the Cang race.
Perhaps the Cang Clan of the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven were somewhat lax, but the Cang Clan of the Other Side of the Starry Sky never relaxed their efforts.

Besides these.

What is most striking are those two terrifying auras that surpass all others and reign supreme.

Lingering on both sides of the high wall of sword light, it is sublimating and transforming at an extremely terrifying speed every moment.

……

……

Central Continent.

All cultivators at the Dao Integration level or above have already gone to the starry sky.

The vast Central Continent was left with only 3.9 million Void Returners and the Fourteen True Immortals of Tai Xuan who had returned to defend it.

"It's getting more and more deserted."

The Sword Master's Hall.

In Bie Xuening's bedroom, Meizu was holding a small yellow duck ornament made of snow mulberry leaves.

The person who just made those remarks was her.

She quickly put down what she was holding and picked up a photo frame from the bedside table.

Inside are three maple leaves with different little yellow duck patterns cut out.

"This is a gift from me, right? You even framed it." Meizu looked at Bie Xuening happily, "You value it so much."

"Because it looks good."

"Yes, yes, my cooking skills are excellent." Meizu said without any modesty.

After putting the photo frame down, she asked curiously.

"But why do you like rubber ducks?"

The Sword Master's outward appearance...

He's definitely a cool and aloof sword immortal!

As for the inner workings...

A volatile sword immortal.

It doesn't seem to match the little yellow duck at all.

"Because I like it, just like I like my junior brother."

"..." Meizu was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, "I also like you very much, Daoist brother. Let's go together then, Daoist brother will definitely be very happy?"

What inappropriate and offensive language.

Bie Xuening didn't answer her, but turned her head to look to the side.

Ever since Xiao Yinxue went to the starry sky, this guy has gone to the Sword Sect and sticks to his junior brother every day.

It was only a little over a month ago that she came to my place, after her junior brother had gone into seclusion to make final preparations.

Let's calculate the time...

My junior brother's end is almost done too! (End of Chapter)
