After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

[Han Xuan's side seemed to be nearing its end as well, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body.]

【"Buzz~!"】

The blue fruit above the lotus leaf had long since vanished, and the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Lotus itself was slowly losing its vitality, inch by inch, starting from the edges of its petals, turning into a deathly gray.

Finally, the entire lotus flower, like a piece of burnt paper, slowly dissipated into the void.

You released your divine sense with great interest, scanning Han Xuan's body.

[It was discovered that his aura had also surged dramatically, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but he ultimately failed to cross the threshold of the Golden Core stage.]

That makes sense, considering his cultivation level is two minor realms lower than yours, and his foundation is definitely not comparable to yours now.

[Tsk~ Ants!]

You scoffed inwardly, about to withdraw your divine sense, when Han Xuan opened his eyes at that very moment.

Their eyes met.

Thinking back to that strange feeling you just had, your face flushed red, and you glared at him fiercely.

Han Xuan guiltily looked away, unable to meet your gaze.

"I am the wife of the young sect leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect."

[You stood up, hands on your hips, and threw down a fierce remark:]

"If you dare utter a single careless word after you get out, I'll have you killed!"

Before you could finish speaking, you transformed into a wisp of white light and swiftly vanished into the void.

【"The Ten Thousand Demons Sect..."】

Han Xuan stared blankly at the spot where you disappeared, remaining motionless for a long time before finally letting out a soft, bitter laugh.

[Forget it, we're not on the same path after all. Making a run for it is the most important thing right now...]

In the blink of an eye, your soul returns to your body.

【"Buzz~!"】

[The moment you merge with your physical body, a wisp of spiritual light flickers between your brows, and you feel that everything is different.]

For those who cultivate immortality, the soul is the foundation of everything; the physical body is merely a raft for crossing a river.

[A broken raft can be replaced. Although it may slow down the cultivation progress, as long as the person crossing the river is safe and sound, there is always a chance to start over.]

At this moment, your control over this physical body has once again leaped to several levels.

If we compare the physical body to a carriage, what was previously pulled by a skinny donkey has now been replaced by a mighty steed capable of traveling a thousand miles a day.

Simply put, this means that the current version of myself can easily defeat several of my previous selves.

The difference is so vast that they are simply incomparable.

[Furthermore, the range of his divine sense... has reached a terrifying five hundred miles, comparable to that of an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.]

[Please note that your current cultivation level is only at the late Golden Core stage.]

When you break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, your divine sense will experience another surge, and at that time, it will become one of your greatest weapons.

Hmph!

Who else?

【Buzz~】

A gentle breeze swept by, and when you came to your senses, you found yourself nestled in a warm, welcoming embrace.

"Husband...husband?"

You blinked, then nestled obediently in his arms, your earlier arrogance vanishing without a trace.

Gu Wudao glanced at you expressionlessly.

He saw everything you just did; that arrogant look on his face suggests he got quite a benefit.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

You felt guilty and snuggled closer to him.

Even though I didn't do anything outrageous, for some reason, I always have this feeling of being caught cheating...

"It's time to pay off the debt."

"Paying off debts?"

Your eyes look lost.

"You don't actually think that the three attacks I went to so much trouble to seal for you were free, do you?"

Gu Wudao's face showed disdain.

"But...aren't we husband and wife?"

You tugged at his sleeve and shook it gently, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Even between husband and wife, accounts should be kept clear; each matter should be handled separately."

Gu Wudao's lips curled slightly. For some reason, the more pitiful you acted, the more he wanted to bully you.

"Fine, you decide. Do whatever you want."

You've given up.

This demonic brat has absolutely no martial ethics. Unless your cultivation surpasses his, you'll have no chance of turning the tables.

【Buzz~】

As soon as the words were spoken, the streak of light vanished into the horizon at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye...

【...】

[One month later.]

The spaceship passed through a spatial rift, and the world before them suddenly changed.

You stand with your hands behind your back at the bow of the ship, taking in this eerie and magnificent sight.

Instead of the sun overhead, a huge, dark red moon hung directly above the secret realm, almost occupying half the sky.

The world beneath our feet is vast and boundless; as far as the eye can see, the black earth stretches to the horizon.

At the edge of the horizon, there stood a colossal city suspended above the abyss.

The entire city was shrouded in a thick black fog, the mist constantly churning and billowing, like the ceaseless breathing of a slumbering beast.

[Boom!]

A streak of red lightning flashed through the fog, illuminating the city's menacing silhouette and revealing the three large, blood-red characters atop the massive city gate:

【The Ten Thousand Demons Sect!】

The airship moved smoothly and without hindrance.

[After passing over the magnificent city wall, we arrived at a very spacious square, where many figures were already standing silently.]

At the same time, countless streams of light were rushing in from all directions and quickly falling into it.

The airship slowly hovered above the plaza until Gu Wudao stepped out.

【"Bang!"】

In the square, countless figures knelt on one knee in unison, their voices like muffled thunder.

"Welcome, Young Sect Master!!!"

The shouts were deafening, even creating a peculiar aura that made you unconsciously take two steps back, only to be firmly pulled back by a strong arm.

Gu Wudao led you to the very front of the airship, his face still cold and stern, seemingly quite accustomed to such occasions.

"This is the future wife of the Heavenly Demon Sect's leader."

No one dared to look up, yet they all simultaneously uttered a uniform and respectful greeting:

"Welcome, Young Madam!!!"

【Forehead...】

[Although you're a master of showing off, you've actually never faced such a grand scene before, and for a moment you were at a loss for words.]

Should I say a few words?

So, will they just say a few words, or will they talk for two hours?

Gu Wudao noticed your embarrassment, reached out and pulled you closer to his arms, then descended towards the distant main hall.

At the same time, an extremely domineering voice rang in your ear:

"They're just a bunch of ants; not worth wasting your energy on."
