Hongjun Appears and Imparts a Method

Yaochi Immortal Realm.

Immortal mist drifted through the air, and the pavilions and towers remained as exquisite as ever, yet they could not dispel the gloom shrouding the two of them.

Yaochi watched Haotian's devastated expression, her heart aching.

She poured a cup of Immortal Tea and gently pushed it before Haotian.

"Senior Brother."

Yaochi's voice broke the dead silence.

"Since the Dao Ancestor is unwilling to see us, then forget it."

"Let's seek guidance from Fellow Daoist Hongyun or Zhen Yuanzi."

Haotian remained silent for a long while before slowly exhaling a breath of Turbid Qi.

"Alright." Haotian finally made his decision.

"Go to the treasury and pick out a few presentable Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"Prepare a generous gift. We... will make a trip to Huoyun Cave and visit Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

"Alright, I'll go to the treasury now and select some presentable treasures."

Yaochi agreed, feeling slightly relieved.

What she feared most was that this failure would crush her Senior Brother completely and leave him unable to recover.

As long as he was still willing to try, there was still hope.

Yaochi was about to turn and leave, intending to select some suitable gifts from the treasury.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!

An incomparably faint streak of light emerged from Haotian's body without warning.

The light was initially no more than a firefly's glow, yet it expanded in an instant, condensing into a vague, illusory figure in the center of the great hall.

The figure was ancient and its Dao Rhyme unfathomable. Though its features could not be seen clearly, that aura which stood above all things and reigned over sentient beings was familiar to Haotian and Yaochi down to their bones.

It was Hongjun!

"Old... Old Master?"

Yaochi cried out, instinctively moving closer to Haotian.
