Dao Lingkun said, "I’ve always felt that the world today is in the last days of cultivation."
Thousands of years, in terms of the birth and demise of a world, are far too brief, much like a grain of sand in the Blue Sea, and my life is but a moment.
If there is an end of cultivation, there must have once been a golden age.
What the golden age looked like, I do not know...
I often think, individuals like Palace Master Jing, with such extraordinary talent, if placed in the golden age of cultivation, their achievements would likely be far greater.
But alas... where are those great powers of the golden age now?"
He raised his hands slightly, looked up to the heavens, and lamented, "Looking up to the Milky Way, the radiant golden age, where is it now?"
Hearing his words, Jing Shifei’s heart stirred, and a new thought suddenly emerged: might Song Cheng be a great power from that golden age?
Having reached the True Spirit Realm, she knew that a difference in one realm was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
Zhang Daolu and Long Xue Ling had already been able to create their own miniature worlds, so... whatever lay beyond, no matter how terrifying, would not surprise her.
Zhang Daolu seemed to sense Jing Shifei’s unusual demeanor and asked, "Palace Master Jing, upon hearing these words, are you reminded of a great power you’ve seen?"
Jing Shifei slowly shook her head and said, "I’m merely envisaging that sage who could wield the stars and create life for the masses."
Having said that, she added lightly, "I’ll let Huang Taixuan come out now, Palace Master Zhang can lead him..."
Before she could finish, Zhang Daolu interrupted her, his expression grave, "This time, all of us will go together."
Jing Shifei was stunned, then nodded and said, "Give me another month, I need to visit the mortal world."
Zhang Daolu did not ask further, just said, "Alright, make it quick."

...
For Reappear World, it was just about merging the Seven Great Powers, just about interrogating Shi Feng, just about solving the aging problem.
But for the Darong Dynasty...
No, for the once Darong Dynasty, it had reached its end, and today the dynasty was called Great Chu.
When Jing Shifei found An Chenyu, the latter was no longer in the initial valley tent but by the lakeside in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
Great Chu had just been established.
Emperor Zhao Qingci had just ascended the throne.
And Mr. Yu was the first major contributor.
However, Mr. Yu, whom everyone thought would attain the highest rank of official, chose instead to retire, and the Chu Emperor granted his request.
Mr. Yu was now seated by the lakeside, fishing in the clear lake.
The lake had a high-hanging sun, causing dazzling ripples, and occasionally, stubborn dry leaves would fall from the branches, spreading ripples and breaking into splinters of gold...
Leaning against the old tree, Mr. Yu watched the lake’s surface, seeming to be lost in thought, half-asleep, half-awake.
Jing Shifei did not conceal her footsteps, but she only attached herself to a nearby fisherman’s body.
An Linyuan tried to stop her, but Jing Shifei simply waved her hand gently, and Changfeng softly pushed him aside.
Along with him, the whole tree’s leaves were also pushed off.
For a moment, yellow leaves danced wildly, filling the sky.
Mr. Yu put down his fishing rod, got up, turned his head, and bowed in greeting, "I’ve seen the Divine Mother."
Jing Shifei could not bother with formalities and asked urgently, "Have you seen Song?"
An Chenyu shook her head, "I haven’t seen him for decades."
Immediately, she added, "How is Song faring?"
Jing Shifei narrated the situation.
An Chenyu said, "I have indeed lost contact with the Northern Blue Sea for twenty years."
Jing Shifei silently breathed a sigh of relief; her greatest fear was that Song Cheng might suddenly abandon her, but now it seemed that Song Cheng was merely immersed in consolidating his realm and could not extricate himself.
After a moment’s thought, she took out two tokens from her chest that were both solid and phantom-like, and handed them to An Chenyu, "Judging by the time, Song’s two descendants should almost have successfully merged. If they come looking for you, you may give them these tokens..."
"With these, they can enter Reappear World and come to Mysterious Clear Palace. Song’s descendants are my descendants, and I will personally teach them cultivation."
An Chenyu bowed, "Thank you, Divine Mother."
Jing Shifei sighed softly, and continued her search for True Man Donghua in the Human World, still not hearing any news of Song Cheng. Helpless, she had to return to Reappear World first, joining with other True Spirit Realm masters to watch the "Red Pagoda Visualization Method" and observe the results of Huang Taixuan as a test subject.
...
At that moment...
In the lakeside outskirts of the Imperial Capital of Great Chu, the luggage was already loaded on the carriage, An Linyuan sat on the coachman’s seat, looking towards the foster mother who was approaching with a pair of wide white sleeves hanging down.
Separated only by a grove, not far away was the sound of sword fighting and endless screams and curses.
Meanwhile, a white figure swiftly burst through the woods, and An Linyuan grasped the weapon in his hand in an instant, yet to make a move, when another streak of black light shot out from behind the trees, heading straight for the white figure.
The white figure let out a sharp rebuke, swelling with a phantom shadow that stretched ten feet wide, and within the shadow, a faint scent of lotus lingered.
However, the black light shattered the phantom shadow’s vital energy ruthlessly.
As the light revealed its form, it was an arrow as sharp as a knife, piercing through the back of the white figure, its tail hooking into the figure’s back and lifting it before violently slamming it into the earth not far from the carriage.
The white figure was not yet dead, raising its hand towards Mr. White Robe in a feeble attempt, its voice filled with pain and resentment, "Mr...Yu..."
In a flash, numerous Armored Warriors rushed from behind, led by a Black Armored General who upon seeing the carriage, abruptly raised his hand and then stepped forward, bowing respectfully, "Mr. Yu, under orders to capture the thief, I apologize for disturbing you."
"It’s no trouble at all."
An Chenyu said indifferently, then continued towards the carriage.
"Mr...Yu..." the white figure still cried out.
An Chenyu stopped in his tracks.
In an instant, silence fell over everyone.
The Black Armored General respectfully said, "Sir, this is One Leaf Lotus, one of the Four Law Kings of the White Lotus Sect, a sorceress whom the Emperor has ordered us to execute without exception. Please don’t make this difficult for me."
An Chenyu said, "She is already incapacitated, let her live, I’ll give you a letter for the Emperor to explain the situation."
The Black Armored General fell silent, while someone behind him said, "General, why waste words, just..."
Smack!!
Before the words were finished, the Black Armored General slapped his subordinate flying, then said, "Yes, sir!"
A moment later, the Black Armored General left with the letter.
On An Chenyu’s carriage, there was now a sorceress with her torso wrapped in bandages, looking frail.
Several days later...
One Leaf Lotus had recovered slightly, her anger boiling over as she said, "Mr. Yu, why do you sever ties after crossing the river? Without our White Lotus Sect, how could the Chu Emperor have easily established his empire? Now that he’s ascended to the throne, he thinks of nothing but purging and extermination. Why?"
An Chenyu watched the angry sorceress and chuckled, "Silly girl, the White Lotus Sect has committed countless atrocities, how could the Emperor tolerate you? With your deaths, all those dirty and evil deeds will also disappear."
One Leaf Lotus fell silent, her pretty face downcast.
The bumpy carriage, the long road.
Mr. Yu’s words were a sharp revelation, causing her to instantly understand, thereby revealing a sense of perplexity about the future in her eyes.
She subconsciously glanced at Mr. Yu, whose eyes also held a sense of confusion.
She truly didn’t understand what the "First Sage of Rongchu, destined to be immortalized in history," was confused about.
An Chenyu still maintained an illusion of being a man, thus to outsiders, she still appeared as a refined gentleman.
In these years of chaos, she slowly noticed some peculiarities—for instance... the Yin and Yang could indeed be disrupted by the disruption and union of the Dynasty, once disrupted, evil spirits hardly arose.
But there was something she hadn’t understood: that in the Chaotic World, there were always "madmen" who appeared.
She calculated without any loopholes, but these "madmen" always brought her significant surprises.
Just like now...
She was convinced that the "Chu Emperor" would definitely give her some face and not send anyone to pursue her for a member of the White Lotus Sect who had been neutralized, partly because he vaguely knew who she was. free𝑤ebnovel.com
But... right behind the carriage, the sound of horse hooves like drumbeats grew louder.
The horse hooves quickly approached, thunderous like rolling thunder.
This was the Great Chu’s most elite Cavalry—the Ascetic Cavalry.
The soldiers in the camp practiced asceticism, focusing only on "murderous intent," making them the sharpest blade of the Chu Emperor, which once drawn, did not sheathe until blood was seen.
Now, the Ascetic Cavalry was headed towards her.
Were they coming to kill her?
Why?
...
...
Reappear World.
Led by Zhang Daolu and Long Xueling, a group of True Spirit Realm experts escorted Shi Feng to a strange "Red Manor" within the Reappear World.
The entrance gate of the manor still bore a plaque: Longevity Manor.
And the words "Longevity Manor" were red as "a knife plunged into the heart, bleeding down over soft white skin."
Yet, here it was, the Reappear World.
In this black and white ink world, such an overwhelming red was eerie, unsettling, and even made the onlooker dizzy, almost driving them mad.
Shi Feng smirked, "The Jade Tablet is within this manor, who dares to retrieve it with me?"
