After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The tavern owner watched as the girl closed her eyes and her breath faded away before slowly... slowly reaching out her hand.

He revealed an almost pitiful, innocent look as he stroked Shi Yan's face.

"division……"

"master."

Part 428 Mortal Enemy, Immortal Approaching? [First Update 4K]

"division……"

Before his consciousness completely sank, Shi Yan still heard the tavern owner's soft murmurs and felt the woman's hand slowly caressing his face.

but……

There was no follow-up.

师？

Shi Yan assumed the tavern owner was just repeating his name.

All he could think about was whether this guy would take advantage of the time he was consolidating his cultivation to do something to him.

After all, no matter how much Shi Yan thought about it, he would never have imagined it.

From the very beginning, the tavern owner probably wasn't thinking about an older woman dating a younger man, but rather... the jockey, Miezu.

The touch on my face was smooth and slightly cool, like the warmth of fine jade.

If I were still awake, the word "danger" would probably be written all over my body.

But... Shi Yan suddenly thought of something.

This guy seems to be carrying a promise on his shoulders.

An agreement that prevents one from taking action against oneself.

It is unknown whether this agreement was made with the Fairy of Yaotai or with the former Loulan.

But undoubtedly—

Before you make a promise or launch a counterattack and fail, that is the golden rule for defending your last line of defense.

Close your eyes, and let your consciousness completely sink into your internal organs.

As the medicinal power of the Divine Refining Pill slid down his throat, its terrifyingly powerful effects dissolved, replenishing the deficiency of spiritual energy and blood in Shi Yan's internal organs.

Even Dongjun, who gave the pill to Shi Yan, was unaware of this—

The medicinal power of this pill is not intended for ordinary Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation cultivators.

Even those with strong physiques like Xia Xia, or physical cultivators like Cang Wanqing, Shi Hongqi, and Qiu Tu, would need Shi Yan's help to neutralize the effects of this pill if they took it rashly.

Master Yan could hear ancient ferocious beasts roaring inside his internal organs.

But... is it just my imagination?

Shi Yan felt that the sound of the ferocious beast sounded somewhat familiar.

The smell of the ferocious beast seemed strangely familiar.

The aura of black and white carries a delicate fragrance.

Ok……

Um! ?

Shi Yan suddenly recalled the girl in Yinghua City, Nanjun City, whose eyes seemed to hold a thin mist, yet she was as aloof as a high snow-capped mountain.

And... her silly boy, who was always punished by Hua Xiangrong to sit on a washboard in front of the door, like the older sister of a big black dog.

Cloud robes... Cloud garments?

Can't go wrong.

The image of a wild, ferocious beast inside him, possessing immense strength yet restrained and controlled, was strikingly similar to the scene when Yunshang, deliberately bullied by him, clenched her small fists and turned her head to look at her pitiful and helpless younger sister.

The black and white spiritual energy intertwined.

Then they slowly separated... and merged into the Master's internal organs, into the clear "Mysterious Heaven Scripture" spiritual energy above and the turbid "Primordial Crimson Technique" spiritual energy below.

Shi Yan recalled what Lord Dongjun had said to him when he handed him the Divine Refining Pill.

"This is a Divine Refining Pill..."

"This Refining Spirit Pill contains a trace of chaotic energy. Not chaos, but chaos itself."

"That very, very ferocious beast."

"If you're lucky... you might even get something related to chaos that could change your destiny."

"Chaos..."?

Is the true form of Yunyi and Yunshang... Chaos?

In fact, Shi Yan had long suspected that Yunyi and Yunshang's true form might not be human.

After all... the little Pixiu was excessively obedient in front of Yunyi, but when it was with Yunshang, it acted like a spoiled child, throwing a tantrum and refusing to be disciplined.

Moreover, the clothes worn by Yunyi and Yunshang are made of Yunmeng Silk, a rare material in the world. It is a rare treasure in the mortal realm... capable of replacing the precious sword spirit energy to tailor clothes for the sword spirit.

If an ordinary cultivator were to use Yunmeng Silk to make clothes, it would be far too extravagant and wasteful.

Most importantly... the taste of Yunyi Yunshang is also very special.

It evokes a feeling of fine snow dancing or of Shi Jiuzhou giving Shi Yan.

Shi Yan had once wondered if Yunyi and Yunshang were the spirit of Hua Xiangrong's ancient zither, but now it seems... it is Chaos.

Legend has it that Chaos is a strange beast that looks like a dog but is much larger.

It dwells in vain and does nothing, yet it constantly tugs at its tail.

My mind is empty, like a blank sheet of paper.

I can picture Yunshang, that silly-looking big dog who always sits on a washboard with her cheeks puffed out.

Shi Yan suddenly felt... there was absolutely no problem.

Because of the replenishment of that chaotic energy, the changes within Shi Yan's internal organs gradually stabilized.

The originally turbid spiritual energy of the land beneath the Jade Palace gradually solidified, and the mountain range rose up, supporting the celestial palace as it slowly ascended into the clouds.

Looking up from the Jade Palace.

The starry sky is no longer like before, when you could reach out and touch the starlight as if you could.

Instead, it had a touch of arrogance as it looked up at the sky.

There was a distance between the Jade Palace and the stars.

In other words-

The world of Qi Sea described by the master has become even more vast.

The Jade Palace was surrounded by clouds that seemed within easy reach, like giant white beasts leisurely roaming the sky.

The vast sky and earth seemed as if the world had just been created.

This is probably the origin of the initial stage of enlightenment.

However, Shi Yan knew that the world inside his internal organs was not real.

Rather, it is the embodiment of a power, a rule, a principle, and even an authority.

The power that Xiaxia had almost lost in order to survive was completely replenished at this moment.

Shi Yan's cultivation level stabilized at the initial stage.

Although it is said to be the initial stage.

But Shi Yan could sense that he was now probably able to overpower Qin Suhuai.

Even if I encounter last month's letter again.

Without relinquishing power, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state as I was back then.

In Kyushu, where almost all the cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm are acquaintances, I... can probably walk around with my head held high.

After Xiaxia was revived.

He could then take her to Nanjun City, or a small town near the Qinghai Demon Sect, and open a restaurant and inn as a side business.

Strange... Shi Yan felt like he had set up a strange flag.

It was a flag that looked something like, "After we finish this battle, we'll go back to our hometown to get married," or something like that.

Look at your nose with your eyes, look at your mouth with your nose, look at your heart with your mouth, and look at your freedom with your heart.

With a slight shift in his mind, Shi Yan opened his character attribute panel.

Now, Shi Yan, who has just entered the initial stage of cultivation, can vaguely glimpse the truth behind the character attribute panel.

That is a way.

Or rather... it's a rule.

The rules are different from those of Master Hongjian's "Earth" and Lord Dongjun's "Fire".

If one absolutely had to ask Shi Yan to describe it...

It is an authority similar to that of the Womb Mandala or the Pure Color Mandala, but with completely different rules.

Those rules were like an insurmountable barrier, stretching across this world, seemingly out of place with it.

It's like a rule that was implanted later and forcibly stuffed into the basic framework of this world.

So much so that it looks so out of place, yet... it works very well.

Shi Yan scrolled through his character attribute panel.

Now she can guess that this panel, which looks similar to the character attribute panel in the game she remembers, might be a backup plan left by Loulan.

Or perhaps... they are the culprits who brought Loulan into this world.

To be honest, Shi Yan would prefer the former.
