Chapter 732: Chapter 216: The Emperor Passes Away, The Carefree Couple, Enigmatic Imperial Capital, Third Grade Second Realm

"How frightening!"

Xie Yu shouted.

After shouting, she found herself at a loss for words.

In her eyes, the man in white, cold as an iceberg, scratched his head and asked, "What year is it now?"

Xie Yu, both amused and annoyed, put her hands on her hips and said, "The Emperor just passed away, and the Crown Prince of my Xie Family has just ascended the throne. What do you think?"

"Really?"

Li Yuan blinked, "So much happened while I was in closed-door meditation?"

Xie Yu reined in all her expressions and softly said, "Gucheng, let’s annul our marriage.

I’ve thought it over...

You need freedom, you need to quietly comprehend many powers by yourself.

And those are things I don’t understand.

I thought you and I were the same, but we’re actually different.

I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was embraced tightly, and lips pressed against hers.

After a long while...

They finally separated.

Xie Yu, looking forlorn, said, "Well, we’ve kissed now..."

Li Yuan interrupted, "From now on, I won’t retreat into meditation anymore."

Xie Yu was silent for a long time and said, "That’s not good for you either, no one should force themselves to cater to someone else..."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "No need to force, I’ll walk the path ahead with you."

Xie Yu said, "Then... where to? To the Imperial Capital? I’m sure my second sister is having a hard time there, we should go help her."

Li Yuan replied, "When I was in meditation, I thought a lot, and now I need to digest it through cultivation, once that’s done, we can go to the Imperial Capital."

"Well... okay then."

Xie Yu hugged the man and said, "Wherever you go, I go."

Li Yuan looked deeply at her and then glanced at the Xie Family’s courtyard, saying, "If I want to accompany the breeze and the bright moon, wandering the Social World, will you come?"

Xie Yu replied, "Yes."

Afterward, they packed some travel expenses, left behind a letter, and then left the Xie Family, embarking on nameless wanderings in the Social World.

During these travels, Li Yuan continued cultivating the Dharma Gate of the Celestial Soul Second Realm, but due to a lack of Yin Qi, he couldn’t make a breakthrough.

On the other side, Little Sparrow and Xiao Wu Ya maintained their conversation.

One old tree clone from Xiaozhao in the Third Grade turned into four, and at the same time... she buried five ravens.

Li Yuan thought Xiaozhao would progress smoothly, but when he asked, he found out Xiaozhao was stuck too.

Xiaozhao repeated the old man’s original words.

"Cough, cough, cough, to reveal the Immortal Appearance with Yin entering Yang, you need sufficient Yang Qi.

The Third Grade Meat Field is hazy; though it no longer contains meat, every ten years it produces a batch of Celestial Fire Spirit Stones.

The quantity is generally around three to four hundred.

Harvest the Yang Qi from the Celestial Fire Spirit Stones to supplement what is needed for cultivation.

One stone a month is enough."

"So no wonder the Third Grade Meat Field doesn’t have much meat.

But I still have to wait for the stones.

Ten years... it’s not too long."

"Dad, are you really troubled by having too much Yang Qi? That’s so rare." Xiaozhao giggled.

A Third Grade Meat Field takes ten years to produce a hundred to a thousand Celestial Fire Spirit Stones for Third Grade cultivation.

However, its output can only supply three to four Third Grade cultivations, not infinite.

No doubt, the Third Grade Meat Field on Lady Yama’s side has surely been "monopolized" by Xiaozhao.

After understanding the cultivation principle, Li Yuan also found it funny.

Others lack Yang Qi when reaching this Realm; only he lacks Yin Qi.

However, while Little Sparrow and Xiao Wu Ya were chatting, Li Yuan and Xie Yu, this pair of chivalrous lovers, were walking amidst famous mountains and great rivers.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

By late summer of this year, they arrived at the Desolate South Path, building a wooden house on a lush highland grassland. Outside the wooden house was a field of purple-red fireweed and long grass, with an extremely open view.

Whether Li Yuan or Xie Yu, when they pushed open the door early in the morning, they could see a vast sea of grass stretching to the horizon.

They also built a fence and planted a farm.

This Desolate South land is near the Arctic Wilderness.

And the Great Wilderness is an endless place.

Thus, the "population density" north of the Desolate South Path can be described as "approximately zero."

If you wish to escape the hustle and bustle, then living here is the right choice.

Of course, this place has no Meat Field for cultivation, no populated community providing sustenance. On the contrary, many Demon Beasts, of Sixth Grade and Fifth Grade, exist here. Standing atop a mountain, one could see Beast Tides surging from distant canyons.

Although not as terrifying as the Southern Rainforest, it’s still immensely grand.

In fact, this is not a place suitable for human survival.

But, Li Yuan and Xie Yu often sat there watching the vast Beast Tides outside.

From time to time, Li Yuan even took Xie Yu atop a Demon Beast in the Beast Tide and played along.

Time quickly passed into winter.

The prairie was cold and white with snow in deep winter.

But where Li Yuan was, it was cozy and warm.

He gave himself a holiday, strolling with Xie Yu in this desolate, monster-filled place.

But what rival could the Demon Beasts pose to him?

Xie Yu happily held his hand; she hadn’t tired of these days yet, if she could... she’d want to continue for a long, long time.

At the year’s end, Li Yuan slaughtered some Demon Beasts to prepare a grand feast.

He actually wanted to confess to Xie Yu and travel together to be with Lady Yan.

Unfortunately, Lady Yan, like Xie Wei, could no longer approach so openly.

Because Xiaozhao mentioned that the Divine Wood Hall had already been transferred to the Fujiang Path.

Su Mushen manifested directly with the identity of Supreme Influence, took up the Withered and Flourishing Sword, and then announced that Qing Hancheng was dead, and ordered for Gu Xuejian to ascend.
