It's time to become a fairy.

"Guiyuan Sect is a major sect in my eastern region, on par with my Canghui Sect. The overall strength of the other two sects is also about the same."

“In the East, there are six sects on par with the Canghui Sect, and we have encountered three of them this time alone… I’m afraid this will not end well.”

"The warship has been destroyed, and now we can only return on foot, which will likely take much longer!"

Her face looked grim, filled with worry and deep sorrow.

Before, Ye Qingge could empathize with Feng Yumeng, but after learning about the Navigator, only indifference remained in her heart. For her, it would be better if these sects were truly in conflict, giving her an opportunity to fish in troubled waters and enough time to uncover the truth behind her parents' car accident.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

After glancing at Feng Yumeng's aura, Ye Qingge pondered for a moment, then took out the pills and other supplies he had obtained from the East City. Ye Qingge, with his accumulated points, had never lacked these things, and would have even more once he found the alchemy furnace. But for Feng Yumeng, it was a different story.

Forcing a breakthrough can easily leave hidden dangers, which is detrimental to one's own cultivation. The breakthrough realm is also unstable, and there is always a possibility of falling back. Given the current situation, Ye Qingge cannot help much, and can only provide some resources.

Feng Yumeng didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the pill and swallowed it. Her aura stabilized a bit. After Ye Qingge demonstrated his cultivation at the Divine Breath Realm, she breathed a sigh of relief. Once they were out of the beast tide's range, she sat cross-legged on her sword, handed the spirit sword to Ye Qingge to control, gave Ye Qingge a map for guidance, and then sat down cross-legged to use the resources Ye Qingge had given her to recover from her consumption.

Three days passed in silence.

After breaking through to the Divine Breath Realm, Ye Qingge appropriately displayed her strength, demonstrating that she was capable of fighting against someone at the Core Formation Realm, successfully gaining Feng Yumeng's approval. The two took turns driving the spirit sword, traveling continuously for three days before finally seeing the silhouette of Ningcheng's high walls in the distance.

Fortunately, both of them had already entered the Danhai realm. Although the spiritual energy outside the city was thin, it was not nonexistent, enough for them to achieve abstaining from grains. Even if they did not eat for three days, it would not be a big deal.

Feng Yumeng took out a specially designed personal crystal brain and operated it for a while before maneuvering the spirit sword to land. She breathed a sigh of relief: "We've finally reached the area outside Ning City. Within this range, we can receive Ning City's signals using a special crystal brain. Ning City has already dispatched a combat spirit boat. We'll wait here for two or three hours, and it should arrive soon."

"That's good."

Ye Qingge also breathed a sigh of relief; there were far too many dangers outside the city. The ghostly crisis she encountered on her way to the East City was one thing, but the inexplicable beast tide she had faced before had even destroyed her spirit boat.

Although we didn't encounter such a crisis later, the feeling of constantly being on edge was really unpleasant.

Even during breaks, I dared not completely relax, fearing that I might not be able to react in time to any unexpected situation and suffer misfortune. Fortunately, these days are finally coming to an end.

After calming down, Ye Qingge continued to ask Feng Yumeng about the situation in this world.

She spent three days traveling. Although she couldn't exchange bodies like she could inside the spirit boat, she didn't leave empty-handed. She learned about the true nature of this world from Feng Yumeng.

Unlike the myriad worlds during the time of the Empress, Su Qing'er, and An Lanmeng, the data in the real world only shows one continent. It is unknown whether this is because, like Feng Lingxiu's world, they lost control of other worlds, or if there is another reason.

The continent is divided into the Central Continent and four other continents: East, West, South, North, and South. The Canghui Sect is located in the eastern region, also known as the Eastern Continent. With the Canghui Sect, Guiyuan Sect, and other seven major sects at the forefront, the other smaller sects are simply no match for them. The most crucial point is that the seven major sects control the forging method of the raw stones, and the other sects can only rely on the seven major sects for survival.

Compared to the other four states, the Central State, as a crossroads of the four directions, has a much stronger foundation, with more than ten sects comparable to the Canghui Sect. Among the other three states, the Western State is the most barren, with only three sects that can rival the Canghui Sect. The Northern State is a land of snow and glaciers, where cities are governed not by sects but by families, and it has five aristocratic families comparable to the Canghui Sect.

The Southern Continent, the last of the five regions, is the most prosperous. It has only fewer sects comparable to the Canghui Sect than the Central Continent, and boasts nine major sects.

Feng Yumeng had no idea whether there were overseas forces or even oceans in the regions outside the mainland.

The situation of the sects in each major state, their areas of expertise, and the situation of the Canghui Sect...

Each piece of information was classified as confidential by the Imperial Academy, something even university students couldn't fully comprehend. However, Ye Qingge had already accepted the Imperial Academy's invitation, and joining was only a matter of time, so Feng Yumeng didn't hide anything and explained everything.

Two and a half hours flew by during the exchange of information.

The two stopped chatting when the phantom of a combat spirit ship appeared in their field of vision. After receiving the message to board the spirit ship, they rode their spirit swords onto it.

It was three hours later when we arrived at the Ningcheng Lingzhou Center.

When her feet touched the city ground and she breathed in the city air again, Ye Qingge finally relaxed completely. She felt a deep weariness wash over her, and her steps became unsteady. She wished she could just collapse and fall asleep.

Even though there is a threat of ghosts in the city, apart from the last blood moon, the strongest they are at the level of divine breath. Compared to the crisis outside the city, it is nothing at all.

the other side

Feng Yumeng noticed Ye Qingge's condition. She patted Ye Qingge's shoulder and smiled, "I just contacted the logistics department of the Demon Suppression Division. I suppose their spirit boat should be out there by now."

"I've already reported your appointment. You'll officially start your new post at headquarters in three days. Until then, take a good rest. Get plenty of energy; there's big work to be done in three days!"

"event?"

Ye Qingge looked over curiously, but Feng Yumeng just smiled mysteriously and didn't offer any explanation.

Knowing she wouldn't get any answers, Ye Qingge reluctantly withdrew her gaze and left the spirit boat center. After using her personal crystal brain to let everyone know she was safe, she boarded the spirit boat at the entrance and headed home.

About half an hour later, at Yaoting Fenghua Villa District

"Sister, you're finally back!"

Ye Wenning, Ye's younger sister, was already waiting at the door. When she saw Ye Qingge return, she immediately threw herself into Ye Qingge's arms and rubbed against her frantically.

Suppressing the strange feeling, Ye Qingge gently rubbed her younger sister's head and suddenly asked in surprise, "Xiao Ning, you've grown taller?"

"Absolutely!"

Ye Wenning proudly raised her head.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Qingge dodged her sister's attempts to stick to her and, amidst her sister's reluctant gaze, entered the villa.

More than half a month has passed since I left, and it is now April. The villa has changed quite a bit. Compared to before I left, there is now a nanny named Liu Qian in the villa.

According to Ye Wenning's explanation, Ye Qingge learned that this was the nanny chosen by the Yan family for Ye Wenning. After all, Ye Wenning was still young, just a junior high school student, and Ye Qingge had been away for quite some time, so it was normal to choose a reliable nanny for Ye Wenning.

The villa has many rooms, and with the five million Ye Qingge gave us before she left, these things are nothing.

By this time, it was nearly evening.

The nanny, Liu Qian, served the dinner that had been prepared in advance. The two ate their dinner in the pavilion and chatted about the events that had happened recently. Most of the time, Ye Qingge listened, only occasionally mentioning some of the events that had occurred during this period when Ye Wenning asked questions.

Listening to her sister's exclamation and feeling the gentle breeze by the pavilion, Ye Qingge enjoyed this rare moment of peace and quiet.

7:30 p.m.

After dinner, they reminisced in the pavilion. After the housekeeper finished cleaning, Ye Qingge led Ye Wenning to the underground training room and solemnly asked, "Xiao Ning, how much do you know about cultivation now?"

Ye Wenning paused for a moment before slowly recounting the story. Then, as if remembering something, she glanced warily at Ye Qingge and asked, "Sister, why are you asking this?"

Ye Qingge keenly sensed Ye Wenning's emotions, patted her little head, and said, "Don't think too much. You're about the right age, and I've already taught you about cultivation."

Ye Wenning's eyes lit up instantly, her gaze fixed intently on Ye Qingge, eager to begin her cultivation journey immediately. But her excitement didn't last long; Ye Qingge's next words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all her enthusiasm: "However, your understanding of the basics of cultivation is still far too little. You must start from the basics. Today, I'll teach you from the basics first, and once you've learned them, I'll guide you into the path."

"Ok."

Ye Wenning responded weakly. Ye Qingge glared at her before she perked up and was led into the training room by Ye Qingge.

Three hours later, looking at her younger sister Ye Wenning who had entered a meditative state, Ye Qingge fell into deep thought.

The original owner of this body spent over two years only reaching the second level of meditative absorption, and even after she transmigrated here, there was no improvement. Not only did her cultivation not increase, but even entering a perfect meditative state was difficult. Her younger sister, however, entered a meditative state in less than half an hour after receiving basic instruction.

Shaking her head, Ye Qingge dispersed her consciousness. After confirming that her sister's cultivation was correct, she quietly left the training room and returned to her own room.

A sense of weariness crept into Ye Qingge's heart. She activated the Primordial Breathing Technique to dispel the drowsiness, a sharp glint appearing in her eyes: "Now is not the time to rest. Rest can be left to the system. There are still three days before I take office, so I can't start investigating my parents' matter for the time being, but I can still lay the groundwork for changing history."

Returning to the city seemed safe, but it was only temporary. As long as her parents' situation remained unresolved and the fate of the Navigator remained uncertain, Ye Qingge could not find peace of mind.

She opened the system panel and clicked on the exchange panel. The images of the four exchange partners—Empress Yang Zhao, the third Emperor Su Qing'er, the leader of the Taicang Sect Feng Lingxiu, and the cursed witch An Lanmeng—were displayed on the panel.

"Changing history and time seems simple, but I know nothing about history and time. It is obviously not advisable to make changes rashly. I must first try to experiment and see how much impact my actions will have on history before making targeted changes."

“An Lanmeng is closest to the modern era and has just completed her mission. If she were to travel freely back in time, she would probably still be in the process of reclaiming the Fengdu Realm, which is not a suitable time to make a move. Feng Lingxiu has also just completed her mission, and only a few days have passed in her timeline. She just left a contingency plan. Given An Lanmeng's situation, her backup plan is not so easy to detect…”

"Su Qing'er is still busy on the eve of her ascension to the throne, so it would be quite difficult for her to act freely. The space for experimentation is limited. In comparison, the Empress's situation is more suitable!"

"The current Empress is in a period of inactivity, with nothing major to accomplish. I had previously considered whether to have her leave behind a powerful artifact or a backup plan to help Su Qing'er successfully overcome the crisis. Taking advantage of this opportunity to conduct the experiment, we can make some arrangements."

"The biggest problem in Su Qing'er's world lies in the demonic seed. Perhaps we can use the advanced nature of the Empress's world to take some countermeasures against the demonic seed in advance..."

Thoughts raced through her mind, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, gradually refining her plan. Once the plan was nearly complete, Ye Qingge activated the free travel function on the system panel and selected the Empress.

As time stretched out, Ye Qingge's vision went black.

As perception slowly returned, it had already appeared on the Empress's body.

The familiar scent of incense wafted through her sense of smell, which was the first to return. With her previous experience of freely traversing the world, Ye Qingge could guess, without needing to regain her sight, that the Empress was most likely in her study reviewing memorials.

When her vision returned, this idea was confirmed.

A familiar desk appeared before her, with piles of memorials neatly arranged on it. However, unlike when she had entered before, the Empress was no longer using her clone to write and correct the memorials, or rather, she was frowning as she looked at a memorial on the desk in front of her.

Judging from the Empress's gradually recovering facial senses and the faint sense of irritation emanating from her consciousness, the memorial before her clearly caused her distress. This was the first time she had encountered the Empress in such a situation!

Ye Qingge couldn't help but feel a little curious. After taking a closer look, she found that the document was about the Medicine God Temple.

"Qing, you've come."

The Empress was already used to Ye Qingge's arrival and greeted her familiarly. Her tone was noticeably more relaxed.

Ye Qingge raised an eyebrow, ignoring this point, and carefully read the contents of the memorial. She asked in confusion, "Has the Medicine God Temple run into trouble again? I remember that Your Majesty had already resolved the matter of the Medicine God Temple before you officially ascended the throne, didn't you?"

"What we addressed before was only the issue of public opinion..."

The Empress sighed and said, "In fact, there are still many problems in the Medicine God Temple that have not been solved, including the death of the Medicine God. During this period, my Heavenly Court, the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Court, the Hongmeng Heavenly Court, and even the Underworld Lord have sent many experts in this field to investigate, but there have been no results. In fact, many people have disappeared and many problems have arisen."

"However, these are minor issues. I am prepared to send Rong Tianzun to handle this matter. The Hongmeng Heavenly Court, the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Court, and the Underworld Lord have similar intentions and are all preparing to send powerful experts to resolve this trouble in one go."

Ye Qingge nodded, chatted with the Empress for a few moments, and after making comments on the memorial in front of him, quickly changed the subject.

After reviewing the memorials and chatting for a while, Ye Qingge suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I wonder how much Your Majesty knows about the demonic path?"

"The Demonic Path?"

The Empress was somewhat puzzled. In the era she described, supernatural powers and magic were still in a primitive state, and the distinction between the righteous and demonic paths was not yet so clear. She didn't quite understand Ye Qingge's meaning.

Ye Qingge pondered for a while, then explained many of the characteristics of the demon seed to the Empress, which made the Empress understand.

The Empress pondered and said, "From your description of the demonic path, it does seem somewhat similar to the power of some innate demon gods from the era of gods and demons. When dealing with gods and demons, the human race also made many preparations for this. There are many cultivation techniques in the bookshelf that were created specifically for innate demon gods. You can take a look; they might provide some inspiration."

Chapter 99 Three Strategies Against Demons, Love Separated by Mountains and Seas

Ye Qingge stood up and looked behind her. Under the Empress's guidance, she took down more than ten jade slips from the bookshelf. According to the Empress's description, these jade slips contained divine techniques and cultivation methods for dealing with demon gods.

Paper was not widely used in this world before Ye Qingge popularized it, and many of the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities in the bookshelves were still stored in the form of jade slips.

However, compared to paper, jade slips also have their own unique advantages. Her consciousness probed into the jade slip, and countless pieces of information instantly flooded into her mind. After organizing and absorbing them, she quickly absorbed their contents.

She put the jade slip back, stepped out of the study, and went to the Empress's private training ground. There, she simulated demonic energy similar to that of a demon seed, recalled the contents of the divine arts and techniques in her mind, and began to try out the effects of each technique. Soon, she frowned.

"These supernatural powers and techniques, whether they utilize the aurora or the yang energy... these ideas are acceptable, but their application of supernatural powers and techniques is far too crude. They can't even completely suppress this ball of demonic energy that I simulated. Compared to the strangeness of the demonic seed, my simulation is only about one percent effective. It's far from the method I need to suppress the demonic seed!"

"The content of the cultivation method is similar, cultivating talents who can cultivate the ultimate Yang Qi, but it takes too long and the method of utilization is just as crude and simple as the cultivation method. Even if it is used in conjunction with divine powers and techniques to increase its power, it is estimated that it can deal with ordinary demon gods, but it would be difficult to suppress a demon seed. It is far from sufficient."

After unleashing the final divine technique, Ye Qingge sighed as she observed its effect. In her mind, she said to the Empress, "The effects of these divine techniques are limited, but the underlying concepts are good. Having the students of the academy deduce and evolve them might greatly improve the effects, but the current level is still insufficient to meet my needs."

These crude supernatural techniques combined are not as effective as the Heavenly God Transformation and Righteous Qi that Ye Qingge cultivates in suppressing the demonic seed. At least the demonic energy that Ye Qingge casually simulated was not even one percent as strong as the demonic energy, and purification was a matter of minutes.

Not to mention surpassing, one must at least possess supernatural powers and techniques comparable to the Righteous Qi and the Heavenly Transformation to meet Ye Qingge's requirements and provide Su Qing'er with sufficient assistance according to Ye Qingge's plan.

The Empress pondered for a moment and said, "The current divine powers and techniques are merely our human race's methods against the innate demon gods. In fact, besides divine powers and techniques, the Hongmeng Heavenly Court, the Eastern Emperor Heavenly Court, and even the Underworld Lord have all prepared methods for dealing with demon gods. However, it is difficult for our human race to learn those methods. To achieve the same effect as other heavenly courts would be extremely costly, and they might not even be as powerful as those cultivated by other heavenly courts. Therefore, we chose the divine powers and techniques scheme that are relatively more suitable for our human race."
