Grandpa, times have changed.

Just then, another message came in.

Meizuya: "Surprised? Unexpected? / Proud?"

The screen went completely black, and cracks appeared.

Bie Xuening suddenly stood up and placed the deformed phone on the table in the middle.

"Junior brother, I'm going back."

Xu Xing glanced at the phone on the table, which was now completely twisted.

"……it is good."

Immediately afterward, Bie Xuening glanced at Chi Jiuyu, who was still selecting treasures, and then vanished into thin air in the next second.

"Nine Fishermen..."

Xu Xing reached out and picked up the phone on the table. The screen, which had been completely cracked, was repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the deformed body gradually recovered in the process.

As the screen lit up again, he looked at the two people who were still choosing treasures.

My senior sister was in a good mood today, and I didn't really want to argue with her, but then this happened...

She was really unlucky.

Soon, Xu Xing's gaze shifted downwards.

The barriers of the Tai Xuan Realm and the vast distance of the Chaos Sea rendered all concealment methods useless in his eyes.

Those were a pair of sacred eyes hidden beneath an endless aura of chaos, with blazing divine fire burning in their pupils, and countless gods manifesting within them.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to come to the Tai Xuan Realm for a gathering?"

? !
As if startled, the blazing divine fire became unstable, and even the countless divine images that had manifested became blurry and disordered.

"You are... the Sword Ancestor?"

He tentatively asked the boundless, lonely, chaotic sea.

Although He already had the answer in His heart, He was still somewhat reluctant to accept it.

"It's me," Xu Xing said frankly.

"..." The Holy Venerable was silent for a moment, "You have defeated the Dao Ancestor?"

"It is."

"..." The Holy Venerable fell silent again.

To be honest, He only wanted to stay in his own little corner of the world and didn't want to go to the Tai Xuan Realm.

But since the Sword Ancestor personally invited him, it would be rather impolite of Him to refuse.

"I do have a way to deal with the 'Dao injury' you suffered, fellow Daoist," Xu Xing said with a smile. "And wouldn't you like to learn more about the 'Dao Source'?"

Ok? !

"Does the Sword Ancestor not intend to be 'the only one'?" The Holy Venerable asked with some surprise.

This is not because He understands the source of the Tao so well.

It was simply because He had witnessed too many actions of His ten true gods that He felt compelled to speak out.

He doesn't know much about the source of the Dao.

But its influence extends to all the heavens and the myriad realms of chaos.

In other words, if the Sword Ancestor were willing, he could certainly become the only 'Source of Dao' in this boundless chaos!
"That's so boring."

"..." After a pause, the Holy Venerable's tone became much more solemn, "Please set a time, Sword Ancestor, and I will definitely arrive on time."

He couldn't possibly refuse the mere fact that it could help him heal his 'path's wounds'.

Not to mention, you can also learn about things related to the 'Source of the Dao'.

As for whether the Sword Ancestor would deceive Him...

There's no doubt about that. Would the Sword Ancestor need to lie to get what he wants to do now?
"Then we'll be waiting for you, fellow Daoist."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep red sword mark appeared out of thin air in front of the Holy Venerable. The surging chaotic aura churned, but it remained unmoved.

At the same time, a message flowed into the depths of the Holy Venerable's mind without warning, causing the divine fire burning in his eyes to flicker once more.

"Sword Ancestor, you're too kind..."

The Holy Venerable accepted the sword mark.

When the time comes, this sword mark will guide Him to the Tai Xuan Realm.

Moreover, He can choose to take people with him.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the Rainbow Bridge.

Chi Jiuyu held a ball of light in each hand, her eyes filled with conflict.

Her prized intuition was completely useless here, and these orbs of light all looked the same, differing only in size.

I really can't tell which one is better!
"Senior sister, haven't you made your choice yet?"

But then Zhang Yunlu walked over, holding a ball of light no bigger than a thumb in her palm.

Not yet.

Chi Jiuyu glanced at it.

"You're going to choose this one?"

"Yes, my intuition tells me that this is the most suitable one."

Since she couldn't tell what was inside anyway, she just randomly picked one that looked good.

"You're being way too casual."

This is my martial uncle's treasure trove! It's a rare opportunity to come in!
"If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate. Whatever it may contain, I will accept it."

She was already very satisfied to have the chance to visit her martial uncle's treasure trove.

"Okay! I'll take this one!"

Chi Jiuyu tossed the ball of light in his left hand, leaving only the one the size of his right fist.

Xiao Yunlu is so carefree, how can she, as her senior, be so fussy?

Moreover, her Nine Fishermen Ancestor has always been incredibly lucky!
You can't be sure that any random choice will be a good one!

The moment the two made their choice, the scene before them suddenly began to change.

As the rainbow bridge shrank and became smaller, light gradually seeped out from the deep darkness amidst the scattered specks of light all around.

I felt a moment of dizziness, and then some glaring sunlight came into view.

The two of them subconsciously narrowed their eyes.

He found himself outside the Sword Ancestor's Hall without even realizing it.

Xu Xing was not far ahead, with his back to them.

"Have you made your choice?"

He turned around and looked at the two of them.

"Hmm... Hmm! I've chosen my martial uncle!" Chi Jiuyu finally came to her senses.

"Me too."

Zhang Yunlu was a beat slower. Then, both of them subconsciously looked at their hands.

In Chi Jiuyu's hand was an irregular fragment that looked like it had fallen from some complete object. It was a deep blue color and flowed with an extremely dense, almost tangible, pure white cold light.

In Zhang Yunlu's hand, however, was a wisp of constantly moving, seven-colored radiance.

Where the light shone, countless inscrutable shadows appeared in the void.

True history.

The 'true history' that Xu Xing unexpectedly obtained when he broke into the ancient Tai Xuan Heaven and determined to be the only one.

"I didn't expect you to choose this." Xu Xing smiled.

"Uncle-Master, what is this...?" Zhang Yunlu asked, puzzled.

Chi Jiuyu also looked over curiously.

Could it be that Xiaoyunlu has picked out something good?

“A piece of ‘true history’ is one of the most valuable treasures,” Xu Xing explained.

Although it contains only a trace of the authority of the past.

But those who attain enlightenment are, after all, those who attain enlightenment.

If this 'true history' were refined a little, the resulting magical artifact could even manifest the shadow of the Cave Truth.

Of course, with Xiao Yunlu's current abilities, manifesting a single Void Returning Shadow is the most she can do.

"I'll refine it for you later, and it should be able to help you until you become an immortal."

Ordinary weapon refiners really can't handle this thing.

Even a master craftsman at the Cave True Realm wouldn't suffice, so he had to come in person.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Xu Xing waved his hand.

"Later, the sect will find someone to compile historical records. You can participate and lend a hand."

Only by gaining a deeper understanding of the past can we better utilize the power of ritual implements.

"Well, I see."

Chi Jiuyu, who was standing to the side, was already impatient. Seeing that Xu Xing had finished explaining, she asked eagerly:

"Uncle-Master! What about me? What about me?!"

"The treasure you chose is called 'Fragment of the Moon,' which is simply a fragment of the moon."

The moon's...

Fragments?!
Before Chi Jiuyu could react, Zhang Yunlu seemed to realize something and suddenly turned her head to look at the fragment in Chi Jiuyu's hand.

In the past of the Tai Xuan Realm, the moon was always a full moon.

It wasn't until later, when unforeseen events occurred, that the waxing and waning of the moon began to appear...

"Then what's the use of this?"

"It has many uses. It can be used for alchemy, weapon crafting, magic refining, and even for setting up formations and drawing talismans. You can also bury it next to your potted Xuanzhu Fruit Tree to accelerate its growth."

emm...

That sounds good too.

She really wanted to ask which was better, this fragment or Xiaoyunlu's 'true history', but she felt it wasn't appropriate to ask that question.

"It's in the Dharma Transmission Building. You can check it yourself later."

"Oh, I see."

"Besides, that's not what you should be most concerned about right now."

"Ok?"

The next second, just as Chi Jiuyu put away the Taiyin fragment, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

The scenery is changing.

The world seemed to turn upside down, and hands and feet began to uncontrollably come together.

When everything became clear again, she found herself with her hands and feet bound together, and inexplicably suspended on a bamboo frame.

The surrounding area is a lush bamboo forest, a small pond with a few spirit fish, and a small bamboo house.

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!
what's the situation? !

How did I end up hanging up like that?

Chi Jiuyu looked completely bewildered.

Could it be that Master is settling scores later?!

"Master! Master, I was wrong, Master!"

Her shouts reached deep into the bamboo forest, but apart from the rustling of the bamboo leaves, there was no other response.

……

……

In front of the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Zhang Yunlu was stunned when she saw Chi Jiuyu suddenly disappear.

"Uncle-Master, what's wrong with Senior Sister...?"

How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly disappear?

"There's nothing we can do. She spoke ill of my senior sister and was unlucky enough to run into her when she was in a bad mood."

what?
Master didn't hold it against Senior Sister just now, did he?
Could it be that you didn't care at the time, but secretly held a grudge and planned to settle the score later?

emm...

That seems to fit Master's personality quite well.

She stopped thinking about it.

After all, how can a disciple speak ill of his teachers? That would bring retribution!

There's a perfect example right here; didn't my senior sister get her comeuppance?

"Uncle-Master, so the reason why the 'moon' in the Tai Xuan Realm has phases is because you shattered the 'moon' in the past?"

“It wasn’t me who shattered the ‘moon’ of the Tai Xuan Realm, but the fact that it waxes and wanes is indeed related to us.”

Is it really related?!
"It all started with that battle more than 70,000 years ago," Xu Xing said with a touch of emotion.

Zhang Yunlu looked solemn.

She has always been interested in the past, but because of the existence of the Cang Clan, she has never been able to explore it.

"As for what exactly happened, you'll have to find out for yourself later."

Ok?
Zhang Yunlu was stunned, and then she found that her vision blurred.

Before me stood a towering mountain, its straight steps stretching upwards, seemingly without end.

However, they were sent to the foot of the mountain.

"Besides, I've heard from others that nothing is more interesting than seeing it with your own eyes. Let's just wait and see."

Only that one voice remained in my ears. (End of Chapter)
