Chapter 1028: Meet again

"Ha ha." Yuanming smiled and nodded gently, feeling no sense of unfamiliarity with the towering Immortal Absolute, making their interaction quite simple.

As soon as he finished speaking, his indifferent gaze gradually turned to the few Early Tribulation Crossing Stage aliens, who were as silent as cicadas in winter, and he softly said, "Fellow Daoists, are you staying here to discuss the Dao together?"

"Fellow Daoist, sorry to interrupt!"

"The mountains are high and the waters long, perhaps another day we can discuss the Dao."

"We won't disturb you two any longer, we'll take our leave now."

...

The alien Venerables showed a serious expression, and a massive magical artifact appeared in an instant. Their slightly flustered actions carried a tense relaxation, yet they still maintained the demeanor of Venerables.

Then they left without looking back, as if they had made some kind of decision...

At this moment, the surroundings were empty, and Immortal Absolute and Yuanming began to converse again. In the dangerous Immortal Cang Plains, it felt as if they were just in their backyard.

Immortal Absolute finally understood what Yuanming had been doing in secret all these years, saying he had been building influence within the Star Pivot, with Ji Yan investing a lot of resources into it.

However, the threshold of the All-Heaven Myriad Realms Spirit Bank was still far beyond the reach of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance. The Star Pivot connected the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds, vast and boundless, with countless novel things.

As for why Yuanming had become so powerful, he didn't say much, only mentioning that he had found some opportunities within the Star Pivot.

Immortal Absolute was dumbfounded, not really understanding the Star Pivot, always thinking it was just a place for countless cultivators to do business, believing going there was a waste of time.

But he didn't ask much more. Since his friend didn't want to elaborate, surely he and Ji Yan had their considerations, and knowing more might not be a good thing.

"Yuanming, aren't you going back to see the Dao Ancestor?" Immortal Absolute suddenly asked.

"No rush." Yuanming's eyes showed a slight change in emotion, his reverence for Chen Xun never wavering, "I can't leave for too long, I'll visit Lord Crossing the World at the Five Aggregates Sect later."

"Leave where?" Immortal Absolute coughed lightly, not understanding.

"Ha ha." Yuanming gave a meaningful smile, becoming a riddle master, not revealing anything to Immortal Absolute, "Let's deal with that jade-bone body first, Ji Yan is also troubled by debts now."

"Ho, not bad!" Immortal Absolute's eyes widened. He now occupied several mid-grade spirit stone mines, having a group of little brothers guard them, waiting for the junior brothers and sisters of the Five Aggregates Sect to come and collect.

The two of them immediately got busy, the rumbling in the abyss echoing endlessly...

...

In the Jade Canopy Forest Sea, the sky was as clear as water, the forest sea tranquil, today the world blended harmoniously, extremely pleasant.

Outside the Sky-Supporting Sect, surrounded by green mountains, the sect stood majestically, its grandeur overwhelming.

On the horizon, a young man gradually appeared, his flowing robe fluttering in the wind. He walked with ease, his brows exuding an air of elegance.

With each step, it seemed as if he was walking on clouds, light and graceful, the wind gently brushing past him, carrying the fragrance of the mountains, causing his long hair to flutter.

The young man's features gradually became clear in the world, his facial features stern, his eyes deep like the stars in the night sky.

His slender eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a resolute expression. His sharp eyes were spirited, like hidden lightning, containing boundless power.

The sharp lines of his jaw hinted at a decisive aura, sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting a golden glow on his face, making him appear solemn and mysterious like the radiance of an immortal.

Moreover, his entire being exuded an unstoppable aura, sharp and prominent, involuntarily inspiring a sense of awe.

But looking at his arms and neck, they were covered in scars, adding a touch of fierceness to the young man's heroic spirit, and his brows and hairstyle bore a slight resemblance to Dao Ancestor Chen Xun.

Upon closer inspection, the young man's brows were carved from the same mold as Xiao Wuhen's childhood.

No need to think further, this person was undoubtedly the once Qian Wuhen, who had finally grown up!

Qian Wuhen's eyes were bright and spirited, as he walked step by step towards the mountain gate of the Sky-Supporting Sect. The most astonishing thing was that wherever he passed, the vast spiritual qi was completely devoured, leaving nothing behind!

An invisible spirit-void zone had formed around him, Qian Wuhen's aura instantly retracted, not daring to be presumptuous in front of someone else's mountain gate.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed like a mundane wanderer, silently approaching the mountains, with neither joy nor sorrow.

Outside the mountain gate, a woman was waiting, her brows serene, glancing at the young man approaching step by step, not recognizing him.

In the Wild Heaven Region, communication was slow, a preserved talisman, a divine sense letter, were the most effective means of communication.

The woman was at the Void Refinement phase, a realm that allowed one to survive in the Wild Heaven Region, neither good nor bad.

And judging by her appearance, she wasn't constrained by her lifespan, after all, not everyone is a prodigy, confident enough to squander their lifespan.

This woman had changed greatly from her past appearance, completely unrecognizable from her former self, and she was none other than Han Xuan, the daughter of the village chief from that small village!

She wasn't waiting for Qian Wuhen, she just spent a month outside the mountain gate every year, counting the outer sect's immortal resources, a practice she had maintained for a thousand years.

Han Xuan didn't know why, but since the Divine Transformation phase, her path of immortality seemed to have hit a huge bottleneck, now even in the Void Refinement phase, cultivation was arduous, lacking any of the four essentials: wealth, companions, methods, and place.

But as a sect disciple, she naturally had to fulfill her duties, though as a Void Refinement outer sect deacon, she no longer went to Kingdom Qian to guard or guide new disciples.

Guarding required at least a Great Ascension elder, while guiding disciples only needed a Divine Transformation disciple.

However, when she used to go to Kingdom Qian to guide disciples, she would recall some childish things from the past, only able to smile wryly, realizing her Dao heart was not firm back then.

She had done things that seemed quite ridiculous now, and she understood why that Supreme Elder was angry, there was no issue at all.

Even now, if she encountered such things, she would probably teach those ignorant young disciples a lesson, such a mindset was indeed quite laughable.

Han Xuan glanced again at the young man, her brows slightly furrowed, wondering why she felt a sense of familiarity, not knowing which peak's disciple he was, perhaps they had met once before.

But she truly didn't recognize him, seeing the tranquil scene at the mountain gate, he was either a guest or a fellow disciple.

She quietly stepped aside, cupping her hands and smiling at Qian Wuhen, nodding in greeting.

Qian Wuhen's sharp gaze swept over, noticing the woman's nod of greeting, he also cupped his hands and nodded silently, only feeling a slight familiarity in the woman's eyes.

He had come to the Sky-Supporting Sect on the orders of the old beggar, who said the sect owed him a million mid-grade spirit stones, and it was time to repay, repeatedly emphasizing that he was not begging at someone else's sect!

Upon hearing this, Bai Xinghan and the silly eagle got excited, such a good thing, they were duty-bound! Through fire and water, Master!
