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

Not to mention Duan Xingchen, even Gu Wangjun, who was considered well-informed, had never heard of this strange calendar.

Moreover, Gu Tianren seems to have absolutely no concept of the word "era"?

In other words, in Gu Tianren's view, this world has not yet reached the point where it can be divided into eras, that is to say—

The man who would divide history and become a milestone has not yet been born.

The Martial Emperor has not yet been born?!

"What's wrong, you two?" Gu Tianren asked kindly when he saw that Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen's faces were pale.

"It's nothing..." Gu Wangjun shook his head, then whispered to Yunping, "Teacher...it seems—"

"We don't seem to be on the same page."

Yes.

That's all the conclusion Gu Wangjun could draw.

While they couldn't rule out the possibility that the young man claiming to be Gu Tianren was playing a trick on them, if so, they still couldn't explain the strange phenomenon of not being able to see each other despite being in the same place.

If what Gu Tianren said is true, then it is certain that the era in which Gu Wangjun and the other person are currently living is an extremely ancient era, a prehistoric era before Emperor Gu Tianren became emperor and before he achieved true immortality.

Suddenly, Gu Wangjun recalled the strange fluctuation he had felt in front of the palace below the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace—could it be that back then… he and his junior sister had stepped into this past era?

They...time-traveled?!

Ye Yuchan, who was also in the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, swallowed hard and stared blankly at Yun Ping: "Old rogue... they wouldn't..."

A strange light flashed in Yunping's eyes, and then he nodded helplessly.

Ye Yuchan gasped, and couldn't help but sigh, "I always felt that the rules of this world were a bit loose. It seems like any living being can travel through time... This is just too ridiculous, isn't it?"

The old rogue rolled his eyes at the girl, thinking to himself that she must have come from another world, much more ridiculous than Gu Wangjun and his companion.

Although he himself was one of them.

The blond swordsman in the black robe didn't say much, but silently stepped forward, slowly drew his sword from his waist, and used its sharp blade to gently cut a thin line in the center of the stone pillar in front of him that was wrapped with a blue dragon.

After doing this, he looked through the talisman held in Yunping's fingertips and asked Gu Wangjun, who was in another era, "Senior Brother, in the center of the stone pillar to your right, at the location of the dragon's spine, can you see a sword mark?"

"Sword marks?"

Gu Wangjun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood Jiang Shaoguang's meaning.

But upon closer reflection, the era they lived in was the past, while the era of Jiang Shaoguang, Yun Ping, and others was the future. How could the sword marks etched in the future be seen in the past? It's more like the other way around!

Of course.

When King Gu turned his gaze there, he indeed saw a newly imprinted sword mark on the dragon's spine.

The sword mark appeared out of thin air, without any warning.

This time, the junior sister was dumbfounded: "This... how is this possible..."

Weren't they from the ancient times? Why would the sword marks Jiang Shaoguang made in the era of immortals and demons affect the past?

Gu Wangjun's face darkened. Even with his sharp mind, he couldn't see through the logic behind this bizarre sight: "It's hard to believe, but you can indeed see sword marks..."

In other words, the stone pillars are the same stone pillar.

But the era in which they lived was completely different?

But the effects on the stone pillars from different eras can be interconnected...?

What is this all about?!

Even Fan Luokui, who has a good thinking ability, was completely bewildered as she stared at the stone pillar, unable to speak for a long time.

Ye Yuchan smirked and, after a moment of mental turmoil, turned her gaze to Yun Ping.

"You old scoundrel, explain yourself."

"Ah."

Yunping pondered for a while, then revealed a look of sudden realization.

Just like in a detective scene, a highlight suddenly appears on one of the lenses of the bespectacled detective, and a flash of light suddenly appears on the dark background, as if all the mysteries are solved in an instant—Yun Ping showed such an expression.

Under the expectant gazes of his disciples, Yunping calmly said:

"I see, I didn't understand at all."

……

……

Then don't make that detective-like face that looks like you're about to start deducing!

"It's very troublesome to explain things related to time, and I still don't understand the principle behind it. It seems that at present, it can only affect Xiao Jiu from our side, that's all."

"The principles behind it are such a complicated thing, who knows..."

Yunping spread his hands, looking as if he was too lazy to think.

It's not that Yunping is unwilling to think.

Rather, they are unable to think.

When he tried to recall the connection between this time travel and the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, he seemed to have to explore that blocked memory. Even with his current abilities, he was unable to break through this barrier.

He didn't even know who set up this barrier or what their purpose was.

It had been a long time since Yunping had felt so completely bewildered, and this feeling was rather novel for him.

In short, let's just take it one step at a time.

It seemed that the problem of time-space jumps couldn't be solved in a short time. Yunping held the talisman in his hand and murmured, "Lord Wang, Xiao Jiu, always keep in touch. Keep this talisman with you at all times. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

"Your Majesty, please take Xiao Jiu to cleanse your mind first. Once I've dealt with the mess at Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, I'll come and find a way to help you."

"Alright, I will protect Junior Sister." Gu Wangjun nodded emphatically, then quickly put the talisman into his storage ring.

Duan Xingchen's matter can be temporarily left to Gu Wangjun, so Yunping has nothing to worry about.

He glanced at the somewhat gloomy Blue Feather Heavenly Palace in front of him, sighed deeply, and took out the irregular ice crystal that emitted a chilling aura from his pocket. A sense of solemnity inexplicably appeared between his brows.

With this item, the closer one gets to the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, the more inexplicable a sense of resistance one feels, as if instinctively preventing one from stepping into it again.

Lan Yutianbing... what secrets does she hold that are related to herself?

And that strange, divine eye.

Yun Ping had definitely heard of the name "Central Divine Eye." It was an eye that could see into the future and discern the fate of all things. It was the most mysterious eye in this world, even purer than Yuan'er's double pupils.

But why was the girl who possessed the Divine Eye's body cracked open, with countless eyeballs oozing from the cracks? He didn't remember the Divine Eye experiencing such a calamity.

Filled with countless doubts, Yun Ping led his disciples into the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace with heavy steps.

"In short, the first step is to pay a visit to that fortune teller."

……

……

at the same time.

No, or rather, within the same space.

Under Gu Tianren's guidance, Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen entered the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace together.

The Blue Feather Heavenly Palace is divided into eighteen floating islands, each with its own unique palace. Gu Tianren naturally led the two into the main palace.

Along the way, every disciple of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace he encountered bowed and saluted to Gu Tianren. Just as Gu Wangjun had thought, the etiquette practiced by the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace was very ancient. It was not because they were conservative, but because they themselves were people from an ancient era.

Finally, Gu Tianren led the two into his cave. The cave was spacious and magnificent, covered with ice crystals but maintained by an array to keep the temperature inside. It was fully equipped, unlike those ascetic cultivators who only prepared a bed to promote the absorption of spiritual energy. Instead, it had a tea table, chairs and other furniture.

"Just asking—"

Upon entering the house, Gu Tianren maintained his gentlemanly manner: "What brings you two to my Blue Feather Heavenly Palace?"

Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen exchanged a glance, and then Duan Xingchen spoke up: "We have come here for the Blue Ice Pool."

"Blue Ice Pool?!"

Gu Tianren's squinting eyes widened slightly, a strange look of surprise flashing in them: "You're going to the Blue Ice Pool?"

“There’s a reason for this…” Duan Xingchen bit his lower lip, recalling the tragedy of the Holy Feather Sect in the past, and then said resolutely, “I hope the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace can lend a helping hand.”

Gu Tianren: "..."

He didn't directly agree or refuse, but hesitated slightly before glancing at Duan Xingchen and the other person. He seemed to think that the two didn't look like shady characters or low-class people, so he sighed and said, "Alright, but this matter is of great importance, and I must ask the Palace Master."

"Please wait here for a moment, and I will have someone serve you both."

Upon hearing the word "serve," Prince Gu subconsciously thought of the maidservant dressed in a thin, light gauze robe. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Gu Tianren call out—

"Ah San."

"Coming, coming, what's up, young master?"

Deep inside the cave, a somewhat out-of-place room suddenly had a young man emerge from the door. He was slightly thin, but full of energy.

The young man was dressed in plain clothes and did not look like a member of the Blue Feather Heavenly Palace, but rather like a servant who served the young masters and ladies.

"Please entertain these two guests, I'll be right back."

"it is good."

The young man named A-San smiled sheepishly, then walked up to Duan Xingchen and the other man and bowed.

Then, under Gu Wangjun's almost dazed gaze, he chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Well, guests, my name is Gu Asan. Please tell me what you need."

……

silence.

Gu Wangjun stared blankly at Gu Asan without saying a word.

The servant named Ah San blinked and asked, "What's wrong, guest?"

Gu Wangjun revealed an extremely rare look of resentment in his eyes, staring straight at A-San: "Teacher, are you really not playing with me?"

"Teacher?" Ah San blinked, not understanding what he meant.

Of course he didn't understand.

But Lord Gu understood.
