Grandpa, times have changed.

Not long after.

Chi Jiuyu suddenly felt everything in front of him distort, with gray and black colors stretching from the distant sky, and images that were incomprehensible and seemed to be pieced together from messy lines flashing continuously.

Faced with this bizarre and chaotic scene that defies description, she had no choice but to stop and wait for the change to end.

As if she had thought of something, she tentatively called out twice.

"Senior Meizu? Senior Meizu?"

However, there was no response.

emm...

It seems we've entered a new period of chaos.

The sect had explained this before we set off: in the past, chaos arose because of the destruction of a world called 'Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven', and the ancestor of Cang, 'Xuan', also exerted influence on the past.

Therefore, even the true immortals and patriarchs could hardly fathom those chaotic time points that had not yet been sorted out.

Similarly, they also find it difficult to directly influence the 'past'.

This is also why the three seniors, Lingzu, Meizu, and Yuanjun, wanted to find her.

In normal times, true immortals are eternal and will always remain true immortals, no matter what point in time they go to.

The so-called 'past' that you can see is only the 'past' that the true immortals want you to see.

Gee!

That sounds impressive.

When the day comes that even the Nine Fishermen Ancestor becomes an immortal, she won't need to use 'supreme wisdom' to cover up her dark past anymore.

After all, these are things that have never happened...

Hey!

Perhaps feeling relieved after realizing she had entered a new chaotic timeline and knowing she wouldn't be noticed by the True Immortals, Chi Jiuyu started to overthink again.

I don't know how much time passed.

The chaotic and grotesque scene began to disappear, and countless messy, twisted lines extended and softened...

Soon, as warm and bright light poured down, the vast landscape of mountains and rivers gradually appeared before my eyes.

In the distance, spiritual energy converged, transforming into ribbons of colorful clouds that drifted across the horizon.

The drifting mist lingers among the mountains.

Occasionally, one can see a giant dragon, its body entirely silvery-white and its scales resembling moonlight, swimming among the mountains, roaring into the sky, its voice echoing through the mountains.

Shakiru Dragon!
One of the most powerful clans in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The vast majority of the clan members are at the Condensation Realm, and there are also thirty-two Dragon Kings at the Forging God Realm. As for the Moonlit Dragon Emperor, who rules the entire Moonlit Dragon Clan, his realm has reached the Nourishing Self Realm.

Throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness, very few races can rival it!
Chi Jiuyu narrowed his eyes.

She had heard about the Shayue Dragon Clan and the Eastern Wilderness from Xiao Yunlu.

The main reason she had a deep impression of the Sword Sect was that it was established in the Eastern Wilderness Region in later generations.

Unlike the present world, where the central continent is divided into thirty-two states, each governed by one of the seven major immortal sects and the righteous alliance.

According to Xiao Yunlu, the ancient Tai Xuan Realm was divided into seven domains by the dominant race at the time, the Cang Clan.

These are the most prosperous Cang Domain, which is the center of the Tai Xuan Realm, corresponding to the four ancestors of the Cang Clan, and the equally prosperous Gu, Tai, Xuan, and Tian Domains.

And the Radiant World, inhabited by various powerful races, brimming with spiritual energy and abundant resources.

Finally, there is the Eastern Wilderness, where spiritual energy is most scarce, spiritual objects are rarest, and even those at the Divine Forging Realm can act arrogantly and those at the Nourishing Realm can dominate a region.

This is the only place of refuge for humans and many other weaker races in this era.

High-ranking beings from powerful races generally don't come here.

Firstly, there is a lack of inspiration and a scarcity of spiritual objects.

Secondly...

The already desolate Eastern Wilderness actually contained a dangerous place, created by the aftershocks of the battle between Tai, the ancestor of the Cang Clan, and Gu.

The higher the position, the easier it is to arouse the fierce and malevolent energy within. Even Dongzhen would suffer a fate worse than death if entangled with it!
Speaking of which, didn't the various sects previously disclose information about the Cang Clan?

Some researchers believe that the reason why the Eastern Wilderness lacks spiritual energy may be because the perilous land created by the battle between the Ancient Cang and Tai has permanently affected the surrounding environment.

However, some people think it's simply a matter of the flow of spiritual energy, since there were no grand formations set up by immortal sects to control spiritual energy in ancient times.

Of course, there are other viewpoints as well.

Moreover, each side had its own reasons, and the argument was quite heated.

Thinking about it.

Then, a golden light appeared in Chi Jiuyu's eyes, and he began to search for the whereabouts of Wu Shi, Xu Xing, and Bie Xuening.

Although we have entered a new and chaotic period...

But since the Demon Ancestor, Spirit Ancestor, and Yuanjun all left their own positioning methods on themselves, they probably won't jump too much at once, right?
She really wants to see what Senior Yuanjun was like when she was a child!

……

……

Meanwhile, in the mountains and forests.

Three figures were walking on a rugged mountain path.

Wu Shi was walking at the front, carrying a huge package on his back.

The mountain was steep, but he walked on it as if it were flat ground.

While walking forward, he could also explain the precautions for traveling in the Eastern Wilderness to the two people behind him.

In comparison, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening faced much more difficulties, but since they both possessed cultivation, they were still able to keep up.

"Master, how much longer until we arrive?" Xu Xing couldn't help but ask.

They have been gone for a full two weeks.

Keep in mind that they all possess cultivation levels, and their speed and stamina far surpass those of ordinary people.

Upon hearing this...

Wu Shi looked down at the red gem with golden vertical marks hanging in the middle of his waist.

As a trace of magic power was injected, the vertical mark glowed slightly, becoming exceptionally bright and dazzling.

"It'll be soon, at most the day after tomorrow." He paused, then added.

"I see you two are tired too, why don't you rest up ahead for a bit?"

Not far ahead, there was a huge rock that jutted outwards, its surface flat and covered with marks of wind and rain.

"Mmm!" Xu Xing nodded vigorously.

Bie Xuening, who was standing to the side, also lit up.

After all, one has to mobilize spiritual energy along the way to maintain a barrier around oneself to prevent mosquitoes.

It takes a lot of energy.

So it wasn't just her junior brother; she also wanted to take a break.

……

……

Not long after.

The three of them went to the boulder and lit a fire.

Under Wu Shi's arrangement, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening began to search for food in the surrounding area.

Although the Eastern Wilderness Region is lacking in spiritual energy and spiritual objects, making it the most barren region in the Tai Xuan Realm.

But that's only relative to the other major domains!

Moreover, the only thing lacking is spiritual creatures; ordinary food is never in short supply.

That's why they only brought one or two sets of clothes and some spirit bamboo essence with them on this trip.

As long as you stay away from that forbidden area, you'll generally not lack food.

As Xu Xing and Bie Xuening disappeared into the lush vegetation, Wu Shi sat cross-legged on the boulder, his divine sense following the two closely. After confirming that everything was alright for them...

He took out a rough jade bottle about the size of a thumb and two stone bowls from the package.

Remove the bamboo stopper from the jade bottle and pour a drop of the strange, silvery liquid into each of the two stone bowls.

despair!
It was as if a tiny silver bead had fallen; the shimmering liquid remained at the bottom of the stone bowl without the slightest tremor.

Wisps of light silver mist, like a haze, rose and gathered on the surface of the stone bowl, eventually forming a full, round, phantom image of a moon.

Moon Crown Bamboo Essence.

A thin layer of magic covered the two stone bowls, preventing the fragrance from escaping.

Only after the two illusory images of the full moon had fully formed did Wu Shi pick up the bamboo tube containing water and pour half a bowl of it into the stone bowl.

However, the essence of the Moon Crown Bamboo remained motionless at the bottom of the stone bowl, showing no sign of being absorbed.

Seeing this, Wu Shi was not surprised. He casually pinched a wisp of true fire and threw it into the bowl.

Huhu~
The fire was blazing.

The illusory image of the full moon gradually dissipated, and the essence of the Moon Crown Bamboo, which had sunk to the bottom of the bowl, began to melt under the scorching heat of the true fire, seeping into the water in strands.

Finally, the illusory image of the full moon disappeared, and the water in the bowl was dyed a silvery sheen.

From a distance, it looks like a full moon held in a bowl.

It became.

Under normal conditions, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage cannot consume the essence of the Moon Crown Bamboo.

It needs to be diluted with water and then boiled over a real fire to fully release its medicinal power.

Only cultivators at the Qi Refining stage can take it.

Then, Wu Shi put away the remaining Moon Crown Bamboo Essence, closed his eyes, and began to wait.

after a while.

Bie Xuening and Xu Xing returned with the food they had collected, which consisted of fruits, edible plant roots and stems.

The two drank the Moon Crown Bamboo Spirit Liquid that Wu Shi had prepared for them and then practiced for a while.

During this time, Wu Shi used fire to quickly process the food he had brought back.

After the two had a hearty meal and rested for a while, the three of them got up and set off again.

……

……

A day has passed in the blink of an eye.

As evening fell, the three of them finally arrived at the mountainside.

Under the dim sunlight, there was a wide open plain with a dozen or so stone houses scattered on it, simple and rough in appearance, built of piled stones.

The entire settlement was surrounded by a fence made of thorny branches.

It looks like it was specifically designed to prevent the invasion of some lowly intelligent wild beasts.

On the watchtowers on either side of the entrance stood two burly men with cultivation levels around the third level of Qi Refining. They wore armor woven from an unknown type of vine and held stone spears in their hands, their expressions solemn.

The primitive and wild scene was quite impactful, and Xu Xing couldn't help but stand there stunned.

Bie Xuening was actually curious, but since they were in front of outsiders, she needed to maintain her image as a cool and aloof sword immortal, so she held the iron sword with an indifferent expression.
Wu Shi frowned as if he had discovered something.

Soon, the three approached.

A hearty laugh came from inside.

Then a burly man, dressed in animal skins and armor, strode out, his black hair casually draped over his shoulders.

Behind him followed a woman who was also dressed in animal skins, with a tall and lithe figure, delicate features, and short hair with wheat-colored skin.

Beside the woman was a young girl with skin as white as snow and eyes as clear as autumn water. She had a graceful figure and her long, black hair, as smooth as brocade, was simply tied up.

Her appearance was in no way inferior to Bie Xuening's.

This scene is completely different from the primitive and wild one.

"Wu Shi! What made you decide to come looking for me?"

The burly man was San Shi, and the short-haired woman was Shi Jiu.

As for the girl who followed them, she was their daughter—
