Grandpa, times have changed.

“But compared to the previous problem, the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Realm is not so bad,” Ning Ruo continued to explain.

"After all, once the spiritual energy of all the heavens and myriad realms has completely dissipated in a few years, the Heavenly Demon will also fall into silence."

The nature of the Heavenly Demon is different from that of all beings in the myriad realms.

With the spiritual energy of all realms fading, most of the beings living within them will at most be unable to cultivate, but they will still be able to survive.

But the Heavenly Demons are different; they are purely 'extraordinary individuals'.

Although its essence originates from the Heavenly Demon Realm, it can only be born from the depths of the spiritual shadows of cultivators in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Since the extraordinary have vanished and cultivators no longer exist, they naturally have no opportunity to be born.

Those who have reached the Dao level or above are not affected by the dissipation of spiritual energy.

Those who have reached the level of Dao Integration have rectified their minds and attained enlightenment. Their Dao heart is pure and clear, untainted by countless eons, and they will not be affected by the Heavenly Demons at all.

As for the Tai Xuan Realm...

The spiritual energy of the Tai Xuan Realm will not fade away, but it resides at the highest level, pure and detached from the mortal world.

Even the Heavenly Demon Realm, which exists at the bottom of the Chaos Sea and illuminates all the myriad realms and all living beings, cannot affect the Tai Xuan Realm.

"Moreover, the existence of the Heavenly Demon is not difficult to deal with. Apart from forcibly overcoming the Heavenly Demon's tribulation, the four methods of avoidance, concealment, suppression, and transformation can all eliminate the Heavenly Demon's invasion."

Avoidance is the method to evade disaster. This method has the lowest difficulty and risk, but it is also the least effective.

The Tibetan method is similar to the former, but it is much more difficult, and the results are also better.

Town, this will involve great risks. The difficulty is lower than overcoming the tribulation of inner demons, but the benefits after success will be extraordinary.

As for the final 'transformation', the difficulty is even greater than overcoming the tribulation of inner demons. It is 'refining the karmic demon and turning it into one's own', which is extremely risky!

But the greatest benefit is that cultivators who use this method to overcome the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, regardless of their current cultivation level, can say that they have a chance of achieving the Dao.

"So the focus is still on the first question."

The Heavenly Demon will eventually find a way to deal with it, but the real issue is the fading of spiritual energy across all realms and the extinction of extraordinary beings.

As the last influence left behind by Xuan's 'self' before its demise, no being can stop this process unless Brother Xu intervenes directly.

"Brother Xu, do you have any thoughts?"

"Simple, let the Ascended Messengers create the 'Blessed Land'."

"A blessed land?"

"Hmm." Xu Xing put away his fishing rod. "In the end times of the myriad worlds, we must seek refuge in blessed lands..."

That was his idea.

There's no need to stop it.

From a longer-term perspective, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, spiritual energy will resurface a thousand years later, at which time the existing extraordinary order will break down, and the countless beings in all the heavens and myriad worlds will no longer need to adhere to the cultivation system and the extraordinary ritual system.

More civilizations can access the 'extraordinary' in their own way.

The reason why Xuan made this decision before the complete annihilation of his 'self' was simply because, as the 'Transcendent Ancestor,' he intended to give a gift to all beings in the heavens and myriad worlds.

The cultivation system and the ritualistic transcendent system will still exist.

However, the boundless chaotic sea and the myriad realms should not contain only these two systems, nor should they become a constraint on all beings' access to the 'extraordinary'.

Regardless of how things change afterward.

But that was indeed Xuan's only thought when he made this decision.

"It's only about a thousand years. When the extraordinary reappears, it might bring new changes to the Chaos Sea."

"oh, I understand now."

Although Xu Xing didn't go into details, once you have a general idea, you can leave the rest to the sect leader and elders.

After a pause, Ning Ruo suddenly laughed.

"By the way, haven't you been resting these past few days?"

“I’m resting,” Xu Xing said, “but I’m not thinking about nothing.”

There are some issues that still need to be considered.

"Alright, alright! Now that you've said what you needed to say, hurry back and get back to work," Meizu urged.

"If you can't manage on your own, bring Yuanjun and Sword Master with you to help you."

"I've always been impulsive, so I won't go."

Bie Xuening and Yuan Jun, who hadn't said much, looked at her with somewhat strange expressions.

This guy really knows how to think.

"No need, I've already done everything I was supposed to do." Ning Ruo looked at her.

"The rest can be handled by the younger generation."

"If you feel bad for not doing anything, I can arrange some things for you."

"It's very simple; even the most reckless person can do it well."

If you directly shut her down, Bie Xuening and Yuan Jun might have been speechless, but Meizu...

"Since the younger generation can handle it, why should I bother joining in?" she said matter-of-factly.

"Moreover, it's more important to help you relax and enjoy life, rather than these things."

"After all, Brother Dao has worked hard for so many years."

Ning Ruo paused.

"There doesn't seem to be a necessary connection between the two, and it's probably only because we keep arguing about it that Brother Xu is feeling awkward, right?"

"No way! You think things are still the same as before?" Mei Zu raised an eyebrow. "If you don't believe me, just ask him yourself if he wants to die!"

Ok? !

Why was it censored again?!
She looked at Yuanjun.

“It wasn’t me,” Yuan Jun said calmly.

She looked to the other side.

"Don't say these things here," Bie Xuening said in a deep voice.

"..."

After glancing at the bamboo house beside him, Meizu realized something and immediately decided to restrain himself.

Ning Ruo, however, looked at Xu Xing.

"Really?"

"Emm...that's possible."

Even with everyone present, Xu Xing did not deny it.

It seems her mindset has truly changed, Ning Ruo understood.

"I have no problem with that, it's just a matter of whether you're willing or not," Meizu provocatively said.

That's how she left Yuanjun speechless.

"can."

Meizu was taken aback.

Ning Ruo's answer was completely unexpected.

"Ok?"

“I can accept it.”

Meizu: "..." Bie Xuening and Yuanjun, who were standing to the side, were speechless.

These two have absolutely no shame!

……

……

Nighttime, the Sword Ancestor's Great Hall.

Moon stars are rare.

"So, Brother Xu, you've already invited the Holy Venerable?"

Xu Xing and Ning Ruo sat side by side on the mountain steps in front of the hall, not too close, but not too far either.

Meizu was just talking big in the end. Seeing that Ning Ruo not only didn't back down but actually agreed, she chickened out.

After all, although she and Xu Xing had some intimate interactions these past few days, that was all.

If we were really going to sleep together under the same covers...

It's not impossible, but we need some time to prepare ourselves mentally.

“Hmm.” Xu Xing looked into the distance. “After all, Fellow Daoist Saint Venerable is the creator of the ritual transcendent system, and also the only enlightened one besides us. We should at least meet him.”

Ning Ruo paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Too."

To be honest, this Holy Venerable is really incredibly stubborn.

He had just become an enlightened being and could have easily played along with Xuanxu, but instead he chose to attack Xuan directly!

Although he was ultimately severely injured...

Has the time been set?

Based on the information currently available, this Holy Venerable should not be an enlightened being who achieved enlightenment through the methods of 'Dao Ji' or 'Building Heavenly Gate'.

You should be able to gain a lot from meeting them.

"Not yet." Xu Xing shook his head slightly.

"I want to wait until I've rested enough during this period, then discuss it with you, and then make a decision."

"Honestly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't want to discuss these things."

You should rest properly when you need to.

"So, does this mean I've disturbed your rest and relaxation?"

"Not really. I've rested enough over these few days. I can't keep being so lethargic."

Sure enough, this is the real Brother Xu.

Ning Ruo felt somewhat helpless.

"Since there's nothing much to do now, why don't we rest for a while longer?"

"No, I still have things to take care of, I don't need to rest..."

Xu Xing looked at her.

"There will be plenty of time in the future, anytime is fine."

After a moment of silence, Ning Ruo suddenly spoke, "Actually, I can really accept it."

This statement was rather inexplicable, and Xu Xing was completely baffled.

"what?"

"It's what Meizu said not long ago: if she's willing, I can."

Xu Xing: "..."

……

……

late at night.

Chi Jiuyu's cave dwelling.

Reeking of alcohol but with clear eyes, Chi Jiuyu pushed open the door and entered the cave.

After being released from the mountain, she went to find Zhao Ruohan, Ye Zhiwei, Lin Xuanxuan and Zhang Yunlu and had a good get-together.

During that time, I drank quite a bit of spirit wine.

However, those spirit wines were all ordinary goods sold on the market, and they couldn't make her, the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator in history, feel even slightly drunk.

Hey~
Having a high level of cultivation also has its downsides; you can't even get a little tipsy if you want.

While sighing, she used a 'odor removal spell' on herself.

Odor Removal Technique, a small spell she developed herself.

It can remove body odor after use. The inspiration comes from the fact that she couldn't get rid of the body odor after eating phoenix meat.

Yu Yi floated behind her.

In fact, the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator can gather and disperse at will, and has endless uses. Apart from some special high-grade spiritual objects, ordinary scents are hard to leave on a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Those spirit wines were certainly not considered special high-grade spirit items.

The reason there was a smell of alcohol was mainly because the lord didn't want his newly developed 'odor removal technique' to gather ashes...

This kind of stripping...

Only Yu Yu would have such a tendency to stir up trouble out of nothing.

"Yiyi, could you make me a bowl of hangover soup?"

"Okay," Yu Yi readily agreed.

Although she didn't think that Master Yuyu needed to "sober up" in his current state, it was always better to have something to do than to be idle.

As the cyan-gold longsword floated into the kitchen, Chi Jiuyu went to lie down on the sofa.

I casually took out my phone, ready to browse the Spirit Network.

However, as soon as the screen lit up, a message came in.

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Do you remember what I said not long ago?"

Ok? !

Chi Jiuyu instantly perked up and sat up abruptly.

Sword Sect Master: "Senior, as long as it doesn't involve my master, we will definitely do our best to help you."

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "Unfortunately, it's related to your master."

really!

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the same thing as what happened to Senior Meizu.

Sword Sect Master: "Ah, this..."

After hesitating for two seconds, Chi Jiuyu continued typing—

'Senior, as you know, my master…'

The message hasn't been fully typed yet.

Senior Spirit Ancestor: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have already agreed to the Charm Ancestor's request, right?"

Huh?! (End of Chapter)
