After Yun Chen and Han Lian met with Yunxi, they ended their brief seclusion and prepared to travel to other domains together for experience. Having tasted the benefits of training, they could not wait to bid Yunxi farewell and leave Wugou City once they had consolidated their cultivation.
Before leaving, however, both told Yunxi that whenever she needed them, they would rush to her side at the fastest possible speed.
After watching the two depart, Yunxi remained at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect for another year. During that time, she did not cultivate. She merely discussed Buddhist dharma with Ku'e, sampled tea, played chess now and then, and spent the rest of her time basking in the sun and petting Lili.
Over that year, Yunxi received messages one after another from old acquaintances and friends. The Wei Family, the Feng Family, Haoran, Yuling, Lin Keyang, Zhang Lingrui, Cao Yi, Mingjia, Chen Yebai, Han Yan, and many other Immortal Practitioners who had crossed paths with her all found ways to assure her of their safety.
Knowing that everyone was striving to cultivate, Yunxi was relieved. It seemed that her high-profile destruction of the Evil God's Heart had been sufficiently intimidating. Thus, a year later, she quietly left the Buddha Domain and headed for the Sea of Buried Gods.
The instant Yunxi appeared, Wu Sheng Buddha, who had been hidden within a rift above the Sea of Buried Gods, revealed himself.
"Amitabha! Ranxi, I trust you have been well."
Yunxi also properly returned the salute.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior. I have already healed the hidden injuries left by my tribulation. I have now formally taken over the task of guarding the Sea of Buried Gods."
Wu Sheng Buddha nodded with a genial smile and handed Yunxi a jade slip.
