A Withered Tree Meets Spring

Where is this place?

Lu Changsheng's Eldest Disciple Lin Qingzhi, was stranded in an unknown Spacetime. Before him was a terrifying sight: the world had lost its color, and the sun and moon had lost their light.

In the distance, countless Gods and Devils fell, Gods and Devils blood staining the azure sky crimson.

An old man, withered and frail, transformed into a towering Divine Wood, its thick roots deeply embedded in the earth, drawing endless Spiritual Qi from it.

In the Firmament, a Demonic Claw, obscuring the sun and sky, reached out and struck the towering Divine Wood.

The towering Divine Wood emitted a blue light, transforming into a barrier that shattered the Demonic Claws.

A Sword Saint unleashed six divine Divine Swords behind him, and the six Sword Qi, like six pillars of light, soared into the sky.

The Sword Saint Human-Sword Unity with the six Divine Swords, charging into the Cloud-Deep Place to engage in a fierce and deadly battle with an unknown entity.

A Demon, radiating unparalleled demonic power, wields a spear and defies the heavens.

Countless Gods and Devils, demons, and Great Demon are engaged in fierce battles with the beings in the Firmament, and powerful beings are constantly falling.

"A hole has appeared in the Firmament... What is that Evil Qi? It's different from the Demon Venerable's Evil Qi..."

Lin Qingzhi witnessed this scene and was horrified.

The powerful beings of the Three Realms are engaged in a fierce battle with a group of unknown entities.

One of the Evil Qi was so terrifying that even the Three Realms trembled.

Lin Qingzhi was completely unable to intervene in this terrifying battle.

He could only watch all this silently from the sidelines, trying his best to comprehend the understanding of the Great Dao by the gods, Gods and Devils, and monsters.

"You two, take good care of the Human Race!"

Five Human Race warriors left behind their last words, almost with a death wish, defying the heavens. They used Law Treasure artifacts to clear a path, their bodies adorned with Great Dao Runes, and engaged in an earth-shattering battle with that Evil Qi.

Rumble...

Parts of the Spacetime of the Three Realms have actually begun to disintegrate.

Countless Human Race and Demon Race Xiuzhenzhe were stunned.

"Could the Chaotic Realm be a fragment that separated from the Three Realms in this battle?"

Lin Qingzhi was skilled in strategy, and he quickly understood the Spacetime of this scene.

When the Three Realms shattered, a place disintegrated, broke away from the Three Realms, and formed a star. This is the origin of the Chaotic Realm.

"A war that could shatter the Three Realms was truly devastating."

Suddenly, Lin Qingzhi felt a warmth in his chest.

He took out a piece of Kumu that he had obtained from the Immortal Ruins of the Divine Wood Immortal Emperor.

The Kumu was absorbing Remote Antiquity power and miraculously regained a glimmer of life, slowly sprouting new buds.

"Incredible."

Lin Qingzhi sensed the vibrant life force contained within the Kumu.

Kumu.

The Kumu is drawing life from that towering, Divine Wood that stands between heaven and earth.

As Lin Qingzhi watched, he unexpectedly entered a state of enlightenment.

A state of sudden enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Lin Qingzhi focused intently on comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The Gods and Devils Divine Ability unleashed by the gods and demons came into view, and Lin Qingzhi transformed them into his own insights.

In the Chaotic Realm, in another place, Yun Qianyue is wandering, traversing different Spacetime, and tempering herself.

Having experienced the destruction of the Heavenly Sect once again, Yun Qianyue felt much more at ease.

She wants to live with a new identity.

She was no longer the Chief Grand Disciple the Heavenly Sect, but a new life belonging to both the Human Race and the Netherworld Race.

At this point, another million years had passed since the Heavenly Sect was wiped out.

Over the course of millions of years, Yun Qianyue traveled through different Spacetime, witnessing all walks of life, and her mood has calmed down considerably.

Boom!

A mountain collapsed, raising a cloud of dust Hundred Zhangs high.

"Hey girl, I've finally found you!"

A Sheep Demon appeared in the sandstorm, exuding a terrifying aura.

Fifth-Grade God King.

Yun Qianyue drew her sword. "If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Heh heh, your threats are nothing but bluff in my eyes. If you obediently cultivate with me, you might still live."

The Sheep Demon stared at Yun Qianyue with its emerald green bead, its eyes filled with greed.

"Don't even think about it."

Yun Qianyue was calculating her chances of winning.

This Sheep Demon has an extraordinary origin; with Yun Qianyue's current cultivation level, she is truly no match for it.

What should we do now?

As Yun Qianyue was deep in thought, a familiar voice rang out. "Junior Sister Yun, I've finally found you."

"It's you?"

For the first time in millions of years, Yun Qianyue felt a sense of surprise.

The visitor was none other than Xu Jing.

"Finding you won't be easy. Looks like you're in trouble. If the two of us join forces, we should be able to defeat it."

Xu Jing observed the enemy opposite him. The Sheep Demon's cultivation was higher than theirs, but both of them were Peerless Genius. If the two of them joined forces, they might not necessarily lose to it.

"Alright. Let it witness the Heavenly Sect's Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stance."

Yun Qianyue drew her Immortal Sword with her left hand, and the sword light shone brightly.

He unleashed the Heavenly Sect Sword Stance once more, and its power was on a completely different level.

Yun Qianyue started her cultivation anew and gained new insights.

Over millions of years, changes in mindset have given Yun Qianyue a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.

No destruction, no construction.

You no longer feel the sorrow you once did.

Xu Jing held the Ghost King Banner in his hand, Ghost King Banner fluttered in the wind.

He noticed that Yun Qianyue seemed a little different.

In the past, Yun Qianyue always carried a faint melancholy, no matter when or where.

Yun Qianyue now seems to have figured out many things and has become a different person.

"Maybe."

Yun Qianyue's gaze was firm as she pointed her Long Sword at the Sheep Demon.

Xu Jing then unleashed the Ten Halls Yin-Sha Formation Diagram and activated the array with all his might.

The Ghost King Banner Yin Qi filled with overwhelming Yin Qi, which condensed into ten Corpse Kings, seven of which were actually at the God King level.

The Ten Halls Yin-Sha Formation uses the Ghost King Banner as its core, and the ten Corpse Kings form the grand formation, making it far more powerful than ever before.

"It seems you've made considerable progress recently."

Yun Qianyue realized Xu Jing's progress.

Xu Jing is now Eighth-Grade God King, and his cultivation is much stronger than when Lu Changsheng and his disciple separated.

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' separation."

Xu Jing waved the Ghost King Banner, Ten Halls Yin-Sha Formation trapped the Sheep Demon.

Ten Corpse Kings besieged the Great Demon.

"One Sword Opens Heaven's Gate!"

Yun Qianyue used the Heavenly Sect Swordsmanship, cooperating with Xu Jing, and the two of them attacked the Sheep Demon.

The unfortunate Sheep Demon was attacked from both sides, howling in agony.

The Sheep Demon's cultivation level was higher than theirs, but both Xu Jing and Yun Qianyue were Peerless Genius capable of fighting across cultivation levels.

The two joined forces. Xu Jing used Formation to restrain the Sheep Demon, while Yun Qianyue took the lead in the attack. The Immortal Sword Qi bursting from the immortal sword made even the Sheep Demon's soul tremble.

After a fierce battle lasting half a day, the Sheep Demon was finally killed by the two working together.

"It's a pity it was just an illusion; otherwise, its Demon Core would surely be priceless."

Xu Jing exclaimed that it was a pity.

"The Chaotic Realm is merely Spacetime Projection. How did your Ghost King Banner absorb Yin Sha Qi in the Chaotic Realm?"

"Many outsiders perished in the Chaotic Realm, their souls unable to enter the Netherworld Realm, trapped Chaotic Realm, thus becoming restless spirits and turning into Yin Sha. I used these Yin Sha to nourish the Ghost King Banner, nurturing ten Corpse Kings."

"I see."

"Now that we've met, let's search for our master and the others together."

"Um."

Yun Qianyue seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"So you can smile, junior sister. I thought you were always frowning."

Because I thought of some happy things.

"What is it?"

I won't tell you.

Yun Qianyue pouted, put away her Immortal Sword, and searched for Lu Changsheng and the others in the Chaotic Realm with Xu Jing.

In the Immortal Realm, in a cave abode, a graceful woman with long, dark hair is picking the Exquisite Iceheart Flower she has cultivated.

This heavenly materials and earthly treasures only blooms once every 990,000 years.

In other words, Lu Changsheng and his disciples experienced millions of years, while 990,000 years had passed in the outside world.

"Unbeknownst to us, 990,000 years have passed. Will he ever return?"

Zhangsun Limo plucked the Exquisite Iceheart Flower, carefully placed it in a jade box, and preserved it.

Zhangsun Limo sighed.

Ninety-nine thousand years ago, Xiao Fan left and never returned.

"Has he forgotten his promise? No, I must go to the Taihua Sacred Ground to find him. But what if my Misfortune Physique brings disaster to the Taihua Sacred Ground? Wouldn't I be harming them?"

Zhangsun Limo paced back and forth, her mind in turmoil, unable to make up her mind.

At this time, Xiao Fan was cultivating the "Heaven-Summoning Scripture" under the guidance of Zhangsun Daosheng, the ancestor of the Zhangsun Household.

This Cultivation Method is the clan's Cultivation Method of the Zhangsun Household, containing the lifelong insights of Zhangsun Daosheng.

Moreover, this technique takes a different approach; when cultivated to a high level, one can sense the Will of Heaven and Earth.

Zhangsun Daosheng's understanding of the Great Dao was unfathomable. Even Xiao Fan, who followed Zhangsun Daosheng in his cultivation, couldn't help but admire Zhangsun Daosheng's profound skill.

In addition to teaching Xiao Fan the "Heaven-Summoning Scripture," Zhangsun Daosheng also taught him alchemy.

As an ancient figure of the High Antiquity Ancestor level, Zhangsun Daosheng's alchemy skills were even more advanced than those of Pill Saint Suxin of the Lianshan Holy Land.

Xiao Fan benefited greatly from Zhangsun Daosheng.

However, Zhangsun Daosheng was strict with his students, and if Xiao Fan slacked off in his cultivation, Zhangsun Daosheng would hit his palms with a ruler.

Zhangsun Daosheng's ruler was no ordinary item; it was a top-grade Law Treasure. Even Xiao Fan, God King Realm, felt pain when it struck his palm.

"I wonder how Zhangsun Limo is doing now."

Xiao Fan thought of this pitiful woman. Although he wanted to see Zhangsun Limo again, getting lost in the Chaotic Realm was not an easy way to get out.

Zhangsun Daosheng wanted to use Xiao Fan to inherit the Zhangsun Household's Supreme Lore. However, Zhangsun Daosheng's Supreme Lore were extremely profound, and it might take a million years to fully master them; most of them would just be memorized by rote.

However, without Zhangsun Daosheng's personal guidance, even if one memorizes some Cultivation Method, it will take several times or even dozens of times longer to fully comprehend them.

"Don't get distracted, hurry up and cultivate for me, time is running out."

Zhangsun Daosheng realized that this Spacetime was becoming unstable, so he focused on nurturing Xiao Fan.

This is the only opportunity to inherit the Zhangsun Household's Supreme Lore.

Time passed day by day.

Outside the Chaotic Realm, the Alluring Beauty Palace Alluring Beauty Palace, including its Palace Master, City-Toppling Dance, and Grand Supreme Elders Alluring Beauty Palace, hovered above the Chaotic Realm, observing its situation.

"A considerable amount of time has passed since the last upheaval, and the Chaotic Realm has stabilized. Although the cause of the Chaotic Realm is still unknown, it is unlikely to recur. I request that all Elders remain outside to Guardian. I will personally enter the Chaotic Realm to find them. It may take some time, but there is no need to worry excessively."

A compass appeared in the palm of the Palace Master Alluring Beauty Palace. She entered the Chaotic Realm to search for the Alluring Beauty Palace Elders and disciples trapped inside.

"I'm afraid some disciples have already..."

Several of the Grand Supreme Elders of the Alluring Beauty Palace were deeply worried.

The flow of time in the Chaotic Realm is likely faster than in the outside world. This is naturally good for cultivators above the Immortal Emperor Realm, but for Loose Immortals with limited lifespans, if millions of years pass in the Chaotic Realm and they still haven't broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, they will perish in the Chaotic Realm when their lifespan runs out.

"I've calculated that a group of Elders and disciples are still alive. Furthermore, to give that old man an explanation, I must bring Lu Changsheng and the others back. Disciple, do you wish to accompany me into the Chaotic Realm?"

The Palace Master of the Alluring Beauty Palace looked at City-Toppling Dance.

City-Toppling Dance nodded. "A great Calamity is imminent in the Three Realms. I also wish to utilize the Chaotic Realm to quickly improve my cultivation and deepen my understanding of the Spacetime Principle."

"Very good."

The Palace Master of the Alluring Beauty Palace, accompanied by City-Toppling Dance, entered the Chaotic Realm to search for Lu Changsheng and his group.

The Grand Supreme Elders of the Alluring Beauty Palace were not worried.

Others might face danger entering the Chaotic Realm, but the Palace Master the Alluring Beauty Palace is proficient in the Spacetime Principle, so there is almost no danger for her; she simply needs time.

"This kid travels through different times and Spacetime; finding him will take some effort."

The Palace Master Alluring Beauty Palace used a compass to calculate Lu Changsheng's exact location and discovered that Lu Changsheng was frequently traveling between different Spacetime and space. She couldn't help but rub her temples in exasperation.

Lu Changsheng is making things harder for her.

Lost people are more likely to be found if they stay where they are and wait for rescue, unless they are in danger.

However, Lu Changsheng was unaware that the Palace Master Alluring Beauty Palace would come looking for him. He also needed to find his Disciples to prevent them from encountering danger.

If Lu Changsheng encounters Elders or disciples of the Alluring Beauty Palace along the way, he will also help them out.

Lu Changsheng even provided the Elders and disciples of the Alluring Beauty Palace with Cultivation Resources that were lacking in the Chaotic Realm.

Firstly, Lu Changsheng does not lack these Cultivation Resources.

Secondly, the Alluring Beauty Palace is skilled at divination, and by befriending the Alluring Beauty Palace of the Alluring Beauty Palace, one might be able to obtain their assistance in the future.

Lu Changsheng has found his Third Disciple Mo Huazhi, Fifth Disciple Chen Yao, Tenth Disciple Su Xiaoqi, as well as Liu Yiyi and Tang Ling’er.

In a certain Spacetime, Lu Changsheng found the Daoist Tuquan again.

"Woof woof~ Master~ Woof woof!"

"Master, please take me away! You have no idea how I've suffered all these years, sob sob sob..."

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, the Daoist Tuquan immediately transformed back into his original form, wagging his tail and running over to hug Lu Changsheng's leg, tears streaming down his face.

Over the years, it has used up all the Cultivation Resources it brought, and it is still unable to utilize the Cultivation Resources of the Chaotic Realm, so it can only absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

This is like a domestic dog that's used to eating tomahawk steaks, now wandering the streets, starving and destitute.

The Daoist Tuquan was so pitiful.

The Daoist Tuquan was overjoyed to finally be found by his master.

Rather than wandering aimlessly outside, I'd rather be a dog.

The Dog Demons stared in disbelief.

Their king had actually submitted to a Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, and the Daoist Tuquan looked no different from Mortal World Big Yellow Dog.

Our fate has run its course; I am no longer your king.

After designating his successor, the Daoist Tuquan left without a second thought, showing no remorse whatsoever.

The Dog Demons were completely dumbfounded.

"You've run out of Cultivation Resources?"

Lu Changsheng tossed a Space Ring to the Daoist Tuquan, which was filled with heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Thank you, Master! Awoo~ I can finally break through to another realm!"

The Earth Daoist Tuquan excitedly roared to the sky. If this trend continued, it might be able to cultivate to the point of devouring the sun and moon.
