What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

After returning to their base, the group rested.

Because there were many people here, Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan rested separately.

Lin Xiao lay on the bed, recalling the strange beast he had encountered during the day, and felt that it was somewhat familiar.

I took out my phone, opened the game, and checked it out, but found nothing unusual.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xiao entered the Cangxuan Realm again in his dream.

However, when he returned to the Netherworld Palace, he did not find Yu Jiuyou.

Moreover, the atmosphere within the Netherworld Sect was heavy.

Fortunately, everyone knew of Lin Xiao's existence, so they didn't bother with him much.

Thus, Lin Xiao waited in the Netherworld Palace for several hours before Yu Jiuyou returned.

"I pay my respects to you, sir. May I ask what has happened today?"

Yu Jiuyou sat back down in her chair, took out her tablet, and casually said, "Nothing, I just went out for a bit."

Seeing that Yu Jiuyou had no interest in speaking, Lin Xiao didn't dare to ask any more questions and simply stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently.

After a short while, Yu Jiuyou casually said, "I don't know why, but many of the demonic beasts in the Cangxuan Realm have disappeared recently. I went out to investigate."

Upon hearing Yu Jiuyou's words, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Compared to the strange beasts that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the real world, how could he not understand the truth of the matter?

I originally thought that I was the only one who could travel between the Azure Realm and the Azure Star through the game.

It seems that these two worlds will eventually merge.

However, although I understood in my heart.

But he dared not say much about the secrets involved.

"By the way, we're heading to Jiange to participate in the Sword Challenge in about half a month. Get ready."

Just as Lin Xiao's mind was filled with distracting thoughts, Yu Jiuyou's voice came again.

Lin Xiao was startled upon hearing this and quickly looked up at Qin Yanan, asking, "How could it be so fast?"

"What, you don't want to go?" Yu Jiuyou smiled slightly, looking calmly at Lin Xiao.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao quickly replied, "Yes, of course I'm willing."

Just kidding, the reason he was kidnapped by this female demon and brought to the Netherworld Sect was to find Lin Qishuang.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to go to Jiange to find Lin Qishuang, how could he possibly give it up?

Yu Jiuyou glanced at him, as if she could see through his eagerness.

However, he did not elaborate, but simply said, "This Sword Challenge was originally intended for the Sword Pavilion to accept challenges from all over the world. But given the recent anomalies in the Cangxuan Realm, the Sword Pavilion has moved the Sword Challenge forward, and I imagine they will discuss this matter as well."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What do you think is the reason for the disappearance of the demonic beasts in the Cangxuan Realm?"

He deliberately avoided speculating about the merging of the two worlds, only daring to hint at it indirectly.

He knew that Yu Jiuyou was a deep and thoughtful person, and if he were too straightforward, it would only arouse suspicion.

Yu Jiuyou paused, and the light spots on the tablet screen stopped.

Her expression darkened slightly, and her tone turned cold as she said, "Recently, various demonic beasts in the Cangxuan Realm have mysteriously disappeared, and their whereabouts are difficult to find. Only a few low-level demonic beasts remain. This matter is too strange."

All the sects have noticed this, and it seems that the purpose of this "Sword Challenge" is to gather at the Sword Pavilion to discuss this matter and uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the demonic beasts.

Lin Xiao's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened slightly; he already knew the answer in his heart.

The demonic beasts that disappeared from the Cangxuan Realm must have somehow entered the Canglan Star and become those monstrous beasts that harmed the people.

However, he couldn't say anything about it at the moment; he could only keep it silently in his heart.

Only when a suitable opportunity arises can we mention it to Yu Jiuyou.

Lin Xiao suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked softly, "My lord, is there any special rule from the Sword Pavilion for this Sword Challenge? Or is there anything I need to prepare?"

He wanted to go to Jiange to find Lin Qishuang as soon as possible, but he also needed to make thorough preparations.

After all, the sects they were going to were the top sects in the Cangxuan Realm. If they were not careful, they could endanger themselves.

Yu Jiuyou put the tablet away and placed it on the table, then slowly said:

"There aren't many rules. It's just a competition between disciples from different sects, where life and death are left to fate. As for what to prepare, that's none of your business."

After a pause, she added, "By the way, Sword Pavilion is located in the central part of the Cangxuan Realm, in Shu. It's a long way to go, so we'll set off three days in advance. Please be prepared."

"Thank you for your consideration, sir." Lin Xiao bowed and thanked him, his anxiety growing stronger.

There are still half a month left, which is neither a long nor a short time.

He not only needed to solidify his cultivation, but also to secretly keep an eye on the anomalies in the Cangxuan Realm.

They also had to plan how to find Lin Qishuang after arriving at Jian Ge.

Seeing his slightly tense expression, Yu Jiuyou smiled faintly and softened her tone, saying:

"There's no need to be too nervous. Our trip to Sword Pavilion is for sparring and discussing important matters. With me here, no villain can stand a chance."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Lin Xiao pondered to himself, "The Sword Pavilion has a profound foundation. If I could find a way to deal with the fusion of the two realms there, that would be the best outcome."

"Alright, you should go back now and get some rest. Remember to meet outside the Netherworld Palace on time." Yu Jiuyou waved her hand, her tone returning to its usual calm.

"Remember, during this period, you must not act on your own and must follow instructions in everything you do. If you dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I will keep your teachings in mind, sir, and will never dare to act without authorization." Lin Xiao bowed again and then slowly withdrew from the Netherworld Palace.

The night sky of the Azure Profound Realm is completely different from that of Azure Star; it is filled with countless stars and rich in spiritual energy.

Lin Xiao, however, had no mind to appreciate the scenery; his heart was filled with anticipation and trepidation for the Sword Challenge to the World in half a month.

As he walked toward his residence in the Netherworld Sect, he pondered in his mind.

Half a month later, as long as you arrive at Jian Ge, you can find Lin Qishuang.

However, Yu Jiuyou was a man of deep thoughts.

Whether taking him to Jian Ge was simply for him to participate in sparring, or if there was another purpose, he had no idea.

Back at his residence, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged and circulated his spiritual energy to stabilize his Golden Core realm cultivation.

The spiritual energy consumed in slaying alien beasts on Azure Star during the day was gradually restored under the nourishment of the rich spiritual energy of the Azure Profound Realm.

But he could never completely calm his mind.

The figure of Lin Qishuang, the strange beasts of Azure Star, the monsters that disappeared from the Azure Profound Realm, the speculation about the merging of the two realms, and the question of the world of swordsmanship half a month later.

These various thoughts intertwined in his mind, making it difficult for him to calm down.

Only after the dream ended did Lin Xiao, with a jumble of chaotic thoughts, exit the Cangxuan Realm.
