Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

The colored cubes around everyone seemed to be summoned, rearranging themselves and, in a very short time, reshaping into a picture called the world.

hum~

Like ripples on a gentle breeze, layers upon layers of space surged and churned, and nine figures slowly emerged from them.

"!!"

Light falls from above.

A gentle breeze carrying the heat blew past her face, ruffling the girl's dark hair at her temples and lifting the hood on the young man's back.

The unsettlingly high temperature and the scorching sun high in the sky both indicated that it was a blazing summer day.

The flow of blood seemed to be affected by the temperature; everyone stood there blankly, their expressions as wooden as dolls.

"This...where is this..."

Ye Yuchan looked around blankly, and what appeared before her was a scene completely different from the previous secret realm.

The bustling streets were filled with people, street vendors were hawking their wares, cultivators carrying sharp swords sat under the teahouse and drank tea, and men and women in fine clothes held hands and laughed as they watched the actors performing on the stage not far away.

In the distance, majestic high-rise buildings rise from flat ground, and restaurants and dance halls are as numerous as a dense forest, not to mention the imposing and domineering golden palace in the distance, with a long dragon coiling around it.

……

No matter how you look at it, this place has absolutely nothing to do with the tomb of that immortal.

It's a beautiful and bustling city!

Could it be... that I've already been teleported out by that old rogue?!

Thinking of this, Ye Yuchan hurriedly turned around, but the spatial ripples that had appeared had already disappeared without a trace, and behind them was only an ordinary wall.

That old scoundrel... realized there was danger, so he sent us out first...?

Those who realized what Yunping had done all sighed.

However, there is clearly another problem troubling them right now.

"Where in here?"

The one who voiced everyone's doubts was Fan Luokui, who had already begun frantically searching for information—a professional habit of hers.

In response to the question from the armpit-baring shaman, Jiang Shaoguang replied, "It looks like a very prosperous city, probably located very close to the capital."

"Why don't you just ask someone?"

Duan Xingchen, however, was quick-witted and immediately approached a man carrying a package who was dressed in a very simple manner, seemingly an ordinary person.

"Excuse me, excuse me—"

The man turned around and glanced at Duan Xingchen.

Immediately, one's gaze was drawn to Xingchen's voluptuous figure. Since the Taoist robe exposed quite a bit of her body—after all, it was a bunny girl outfit with a white coat—it was normal for her chest and such to be exposed a little.

The man stared intently at Duan Xingchen's neck and below, his expression completely blank.

"that……"

Even Duan Xingchen couldn't help but raise his voice.

"what……"

The man then came to his senses, wiped away the blood that had accidentally flowed from his nose, and said seriously, "Is there something you need, miss?"

—Oh no… I almost lost my mind. This female cultivator's technique is truly amazing…

Duan Xingchen sighed and rubbed his forehead, then said, "Although this question is sudden, can you tell me where this is?"

"here?"

The man gave Duan Xingchen a strange look, then his puzzled gaze fell on Ye Yuchan and the others.

"You don't know Cangyue City? Then how did you get in?"

"Azure Moon City?!"

Ye Yuchan was so frightened she almost jumped up.

Fan Luokui, Jiang Shaoguang, and the others frowned, their expressions serious.

Cangyue City.

If my memory serves me correctly...

When the tomb of the Half-Immortal appeared in the past, it destroyed most of Cangyue City into wasteland in the blink of an eye. They still remember the deathly aura emanating from that scorched soil.

How could that ruined place possibly be associated with the bustling and crowded scene before us?

"Um, if I may ask—"

Fan Luokui then spoke up and asked, "Which Cang, which Yue?"

“The Cang in Cangtian, the Yue in Yue,” the man replied, then cast a suspicious glance at him: “Are you alright? You’re clearly in Cangyue City, how come you don’t even know where you are?”

"..."

The students from Yuntian Academy looked at each other, their faces filled with incomprehension.

Cangyue City... it really is Cangyue City, and it's not a city with a similar name, it's Cangyue City of the Lantian Empire!

But that's impossible! How long have they been inside that demigod's tomb? It's only been a few days, how could they have transformed the wasteland into a city of towering skyscrapers...?

This is completely illogical!

In response, Xiao Yuan'er raised her little hand high and asked in her childish voice:

"Shouldn't Cangyue City have been destroyed by that so-called Half-Immortal's Tomb? How come it's gone now..."

"……you……"

Now, the man noticed the strange expressions on everyone's faces and couldn't help but blurt out, "You guys aren't some kind of savages from the mountains, are you? The kind who don't know anything about the world?"

Gu Wangjun frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Cangyue City was indeed largely destroyed due to the influence of the Half-Immortal's Tomb, but that happened eight years ago. Cangyue City has long been rebuilt."

"You guys wouldn't actually be cultivators from that mountain, would you...? This matter caused quite a stir back then, with rumors that the Azure Sea Pavilion and a whole bunch of other sects went into that half-immortal's tomb and never came out again..."

……

Ye Yuchan and the others did not reply.

They just stood there, staring blankly at the magnificent buildings around them, at the crowds of people wandering around, and at the rows of shops that were springing up...

Senseless.

……

Eight years.

Eight years have passed since everyone entered the Half-Immortal's Tomb.

But for them, it felt like only a few days had passed... not even a week.

Qianxun Novel Free Transfer Group 255595300 Meanwhile, in the outside world... eight years had passed.

"This kind of thing... you must be joking..."

Outside Cangyue City.

Inside a lush bamboo forest.

The light shone down from above, scattered fragments of light, like flowing water, onto Ye Yuchan's silvery-white hair.

The silver-haired girl, dressed as a maid, gripped the hem of her dress with her left hand, bit her lower lip lightly, and slammed her right hand against the long bamboo beside her.

"This time span is a bit too long..."

Fan Luokui took a deep breath, her expression also looking extremely grim. "Perhaps when we were teleported out by the teacher... in that unknown space... we jumped through too much time."

"What... should we do now?"

When Ye Yuchan asked the question, everyone fell silent.

This problem... shouldn't even have appeared in the first place.

Because regardless of their status, position, or cultivation level, they all had a backbone, a young man in white named Yunping.

just now……

Their leader is gone.

It felt like losing the dragon's head... My heart felt empty, and I almost forgot what I was supposed to do.

Xiao Yuan'er huddled up next to Jiang Yuetian, her little hands clutching Jiang Yuetian's cheongsam, and whispered with a hint of grievance, "Teacher... will come back... right?"

"Yes..."

Jiang Yuetian slowly squatted down, patted Yuan'er's head, wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, and then revealed a gentle smile.

"The teacher is so powerful, there's no one in the world who can stop him. He'll definitely be back soon."

"Really……?"

"Really." Jiang Yuetian nodded with a smile. "Teacher will definitely come back... definitely."

Certainly...?

Apart from Jiang Yuetian, no one else could speak.

Even Jiang Yuetian herself couldn't stop her lips from trembling when she said the word "definitely".

They all heard it.

In the very end, the young man in white uttered words that sounded like farewells.

【Take good care of yourself】

What... this is like a statement that sounds like I'm leaving forever...

He was clearly a teacher... he clearly had so much to teach... yet he abandoned so many students and ran off to that unknown, godforsaken place...

Without him, what will become of the students at Yuntian Academy...?

What's even more terrifying is that eight years have passed in the outside world. They have no idea what has happened or what changes have occurred during those eight years.

For them, the outside world... was almost a completely new world, and new meant unknown, and unknown meant fear and danger.
