Grandpa, times have changed.

Early the next morning.

Sword Sect Inner Sect.

A plaza at the foot of the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Now that everything is over, haven't you thought about going back?

At the edge of the square, a black-haired man with purple eyes and wearing a black overcoat stood with Xu Xing.

But it is an abyss.

In the final battle against the Cang Clan.

He was besieged by two members of the Dongzhen Cang clan and perished completely after being killed more than 3,700 times.

Fortunately, Xu Xing eventually achieved the Dao Source and salvaged everything, allowing him to be resurrected.

In the past few days, he, Ning Wanzhu, and Mingyu discussed going back and wanted to ask Xu Xing again, but they couldn't get in touch with him no matter what they did.

Having no other choice, he had to first arrange matters concerning the Righteous Path Alliance before personally arriving at the Sword Sect.

Only then did I learn that Xu Xing had been resting for the past few days.
"It's not the right time yet," Xu Xing said.

"Not the right time?" Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Hasn't everything about the Cang Clan been resolved?
“I will inform you when the time is right.” After a pause, Xu Xing added, “Or you can go find it yourself. By the time you find it, it will be about time.”

deep:"……"

Why are you still using riddles these days?
He was speechless, but he also guessed something from those words.

"Is my hometown... gone?"

"That's not entirely true," Xu Xing shook his head slightly.

"It's just that its current state... is a bit complicated to explain."

"In short, it will take quite a while for it to return to its original state, and going back in the meantime will be useless."

The birth of the 'extraordinary' has indeed caused countless worlds that could not adapt to be destroyed, but a very few worlds have withstood the changes brought about by the 'extraordinary'.

"So just wait patiently. After all, even if I send you back now, you won't reach the moment you envision."

With Dongzhen's abilities, he could indeed roam the Chaos Sea and travel through the heavens.

However, to shake and perpetuate the entire chaotic main timeline existing in the immeasurable heavens, it is still far from being able to do so.

Even a true immortal cannot achieve that.

"..." Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand."

We've waited so many years, what's a few more decades...

Thinking about it.

He looked ahead, a strange glint in his eyes.

To be honest, ever since he arrived in the Tai Xuan Realm, he has been thinking about going back.

But now that I'm sure I can go back, I don't know why I have this feeling of uncertainty...

Hey~
With a sigh, he suppressed his chaotic thoughts and focused his gaze on the outer gate of the Sword Sect.

More accurately, it is located in the Ascension Hall of the outer sect of the Sword Sect.

past……

Unfortunately, he was already a Dongzhen and could not participate in it.

Otherwise, he would also be quite curious about the true immortals of the Tai Xuan Realm, as well as the things that happened to Wan Zhu and Ming Yu when they were young.

……

……

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

The Hall of Ascension.

The long queue moved slowly forward, with figures continuously entering the Ascension Hall.

“Going to the ‘past’ also starts from here,” Chi Jiuyu muttered softly.

She was in the middle of the group, with Ye Zhiwei in front of her and Zhang Yunlu behind her.

As for Hong Qingchen, he was lucky enough to draw number 1 and has been in the Ascension Hall for some time now.

"After all, we need to rely on the power of the Tai Xuan Immortal Network," Zhang Yunlu said.

Although the past realm is no longer under anyone's control, it is still the 'past' of the Tai Xuan Realm.

For beings existing in the mortal world to travel there, they must use the power of a True Immortal as a medium.

"I know, I know." Chi Jiuyu waved her hand.

She just made a casual remark.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught Ye Zhiwei's hesitant expression in front of her.

"What's wrong, Little Ye? Is there something you want to say?"

When we met, he seemed to want to say something, but was too shy to speak...

"I..." Ye Zhiwei hesitated.

"Hey! What are you afraid of? There's nothing you can't say."

"I... I actually wanted to ask, Sister Jiuyu, did you receive any 'special' missions on your journey to the 'past'?"

As everyone knows, Ye Zhiwei has now become Li Ke's apprentice.

Just last night, Li Ke suddenly found her and asked her to investigate Xu Xing's past while she was traveling through the past.

But shouldn't this be considered personal privacy?
Exploring the patriarch's privacy...

This was truly outrageous, but she couldn't disobey her master's orders, so she had been feeling uneasy since last night.

"..."

Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu's expressions immediately became subtle.

A special mission...

After exchanging a glance, Chi Jiuyu suddenly said:
"Did your senior sister ask you to investigate your uncle's past?"

"..."

Ye Zhiwei remained silent; she dared not say yes, but she also couldn't say no.

"Don't worry, she contacted me about this too."

Yes.

Just last night, after Yuan Jun left, Li Ke approached Chi Jiu Yu.

In fact, it wasn't just Li Ke; Xu Ying, Lin Ji, Yan Ming, and others also sought her help.

"Did Master also ask you for help, Sister Jiu Yu?"

“Yes!” Chi Jiuyu acted as if she didn’t care at all.

A bunch of traitors!

She has made up her mind that once she returns from the 'past', she will report them all to her martial uncle!

After all, her martial uncle has always been very good to her!
As for why they didn't report it before departure...

If she reports it now, how will she collect money from them?
The compensation given to everyone was very generous!

She even took on jobs from seniors like the Spirit Ancestor, the Charm Ancestor, and the Primordial Lord; there's no reason why she shouldn't try to make more money!
To be honest, not counting the three seniors, the money she made from just a few senior brothers and sisters has already multiplied her wealth several times over.

In case we get discovered...

So what if we found it!

As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you worry; the more lice you have, the less you fear the itch!

At worst, I can just confess everything to my master and hang it up on the shelf myself.

I refuse to believe they'd dare storm the Sword Master's Hall!

Even if she dies, she wants to be a rich fisherman who chokes to death!

Zhang Yunlu's eyes flickered as she stood to the side.

In fact, several senior students also asked her for help. She originally wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, the rewards offered by the senior students were too generous.

Especially Senior Brother Yan Ming...

Given how chaotic the 'past' is, it's normal that we haven't discovered which periods of our past we'll experience.

that's it.

A few minutes later, feeling much more at ease, Ye Zhiwei entered the Ascension Hall.

Chi Jiuyu followed closely behind.

However, as soon as she passed through the translucent, pale gold light curtain inscribed with runes, before she could even see the scene before her, she felt a heavy pressure coming from all directions.

Looking around, she realized that Ye Zhiwei, who had entered before her, was nowhere to be seen.

Many sword masters of the Sword Sect, who were her senior brothers and sisters, stood around the Ascension Hall, each staring intently at her with different expressions.

Chi Jiuyu's heart tightened.

She had made a fortune off everyone here, and seeing her "clients" all around her now, she felt a little guilty.

"Junior sister, be careful in everything you do," Xu Ying said with a half-smile.

"Thank you for your concern, senior sister. I will be careful!"

Chi Jiuyu met her gaze without flinching.

As the number one genius of all the heavens and myriad realms, the personal disciple of the Sword Master, and the youngest and strongest god in history, her unyielding pride would not allow her to bow her head!

"Give me your hand," Li Ke said expressionlessly.

They realized today, after discussing it together, that this guy had taken on a whole bunch of requests from people, practically accepting every single one.

That dead fisherman is incredibly audacious...

They're making so much money, aren't they afraid of bloating themselves to death?!

"Oh." Chi Jiuyu raised her right hand.

A pure red light appeared, like a stream of flame wrapping around her wrist.

Interestingly, she didn't feel hot at all; instead, she felt a cool sensation.

At the same time, the Immortal Network interface automatically appeared in front of them.

[Connecting to road signs...]

[Connection successful!]

[Current Beacon: Sword Sect Ascension Platform Central Hub]

[The power of the Immortal Network is being injected, activating the Tai Xuan Time Travel Program!]

Please note! This journey has no specific coordinates, and the travel may involve some bumps or minor discomfort.

Mild discomfort?
Will it still be bumpy?

But now that the 'past' is in chaos, it seems quite normal.

Before Chi Jiuyu could think it through.

[3, 2, 1, the shuttle begins!]

Boom!

It was as if millions of thunderbolts were exploding in my ears!

The deafening roar that struck the very depths of her soul caused her vision to blur, and a rolling darkness engulfed everything.

Wow~
Like the sound of a surging celestial river, immense pressure surged from all directions, kneading and squeezing her entire body, twisting and stretching it.

pain?
It wasn't so much pain as an extreme fear stemming from a complete loss of control over oneself.

All actions failed to elicit any feedback, and all senses became meaningless at this moment.

It was as if a leaf had fallen into a raging river.

He can only drift along, not knowing where he is going...

This is insane!
This is just a minor discomfort?!

Chi Jiuyu cursed inwardly.

……

……

I don't know how much time passed.

Chi Jiuyu even felt as if every inch of himself was being torn apart.

In the rolling darkness, some blurry and hazy images began to appear.

Endless streams of divine light obscured everything; the stars trembled, the sun and moon high in the sky dimmed, and a vast, boundless continent crumbled...

That battle more than 70,000 years ago.

Soon, the boundless darkness dissipated somewhat, and a little pure light seeped out.

The scene then repeats itself.

Four immeasurably majestic figures sit in the four corners of the vast continent, and all living beings are but lines in their palms. Even the brightest sun cannot illuminate them with a fraction of their eternal divine radiance.

Ancient, Supreme, Mysterious, Heavenly...

Suddenly.

The sound of swords clashing resounded throughout the world!

Amidst the blood-red light of Dao Dao Dongzhen's demise, a sword shadow was seen rising into the air.

In just a moment, he stood alongside those four endlessly majestic figures.

"I'll bet everything!"

The magnificent and endless sound resounded through heaven and earth, the towering sword shadows seemed to be burning, and the raging fire of the Dao dyed the sky red, pointing directly at the cold and fierce existence hidden in the endless chaos!

"Come!"

The sword intent was so brilliant that it even transcended the realm of 'time', causing countless sword cultivators on the continent, and even Chi Jiuyu, to resonate with their own sword intent!

This is……

My master has attained immortality and ascended to heaven!

red!
An endless expanse of red!
I felt a vast, surging red light that drove away the darkness and ignited everything!
hum~
The sword's cry pierced through the red light, ringing out with unparalleled clarity in my ears.

The towering, burning, roaring sword shadows slashed down, instantly overwhelming the rising shock and anger.

Wow~
Once again, the sound of rushing rivers filled the air, and all the images I had been seeing vanished abruptly.

Suddenly, I could feel the ground beneath my feet.

thump!
Before Chi Jiuyu could react, she fell straight forward, crashing face down.

boom!
A muffled thud.

The powerful physique of a Nascent Soul cultivator did not cause her pain; she only felt a cool sensation on her forehead.

"Well……"

Stop, has it stopped?

She looked up, somewhat bewildered.

What came into view was a spacious and brightly lit dojo, with stone pillars burning with flames all around. On the innermost wall was a huge character for 'sword'.

At this moment, a person sat upright in the center of the temple with his eyes closed.

She wore a plain moon-white robe, with a layer of dark blue bamboo-patterned gauze draped over it.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, part of which was tied up with an elegant jade hairpin.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and beneath her straight nose, her lips were light in color and she wore no makeup, which made her look particularly elegant and refined.

"Master?"

Indeed, this person is Bie Xuening.

Chi Jiuyu was a little confused.

Where have I ended up?

Did the time travel fail and I get thrown back in time?

She dragged her aching body and struggled to her feet, patting off non-existent dust from her clothes.

"Disciple greets Master."

Bie Xuening remained seated with her eyes closed, showing no reaction.

"..."

Is this all in the past already?

emm...

But I just witnessed my uncle becoming an immortal, and now I'm in the Sword Venerable Hall, which proves that this is after the Sword Sect was founded.

The Sword Sect was clearly founded after both my master and my uncle became immortals...

wrong!

The reason we are heading to the 'past' this time is because the 'past' has become chaotic.

Although I just witnessed my uncle's attainment of immortality, it doesn't mean that I will necessarily go to a later time period.

Ah!
That must be it!
Having figured out the reason, Chi Jiuyu looked up at Bie Xuening, who was sitting with her eyes closed in the center of the dojo, and her courage grew considerably.

It's one thing to be afraid of one's master normally.

It's just a shadow of the past now, why should I be afraid?

She stepped forward.

Bie Xuening opened her eyes.

"..."

Looking into those clear, black and white eyes, Chi Jiuyu froze, and her knees suddenly went weak.

"Master?"

She asked tentatively.

Bie Xuening did not respond to her. Instead, she gazed into the distance for a while, then stood up and slowly walked over.

"Junior Brother is about to emerge from seclusion..."

As he walked past Chi Jiuyu toward the outside, he muttered to himself.

Oh?
Is my martial uncle about to emerge from seclusion?
When is this?
Before she could figure it out, she turned around and saw that Bie Xuening's figure was almost disappearing through the doorway.

Chi Jiuyu hurriedly chased after him.

They followed Bie Xuening to the outside of the palace.

Only then did she realize that it was already night outside, with a crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.

It's not a full moon...

It seems to have been after that battle 70,000 years ago.

As I was pondering this, I heard Bie Xuening speak again:

"More than 1,900 years..."

More than 1,900 years?
What happened over 1,900 years ago?
She was increasingly puzzled, but Bie Xuening didn't say anything more and walked down the mountain steps.

Chi Jiuyu followed again.

Before long, we arrived at the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain.

We walked into the bamboo forest and came to a clearing deep within it.

Bamboo house, fish pond, and nine-tailed spirit fish raised in the pond.

There was no bamboo frame used to hoist her up. (End of Chapter)
