"Actually, I only did it on a whim."
Li Ye, who had just awakened, was still somewhat groggy.
"Even in my dreams, I was worrying about this matter, so I took out the Earth Spirit Breath Soil, and it became like this.
"Perhaps Heaven truly granted my wish."

Everyone felt a nameless fire suddenly rise within their sea of consciousness. Even if it was the truth, saying it like that was simply asking for a beating.
Yet Li Ye looked as though he had only just woken up, and he did not seem to be deliberately showing off. Could it truly have happened that way?
For some reason, they immediately felt even worse.
The people from the Four Seasons Sect were better off. Duan Jiurui no longer had the strength to look at him and could only change the subject. "Fellow Daoists, our Forging Spirit Sect has already begun a thorough investigation into this matter.

"Now that it has happened, it is not too late to mend the fold after the sheep are lost."
She revealed the item placed within a spirit jade box.
Inside lay a spatial jade token, bearing the Forging Spirit Sect's original emblem—a single drop of spirit blood.
These spatial jade tokens had been deliberately left behind when the major sects first demarcated the earth veins, before the Five Regions and Four Seas had been divided.
As long as one activated this item with a special teleportation formation, one could disregard the borders between regions and travel back and forth at will.
"Oh? This is quite a gift."
The value of a jade token that allowed one to teleport at any time to the Forging Spirit Sect's sphere of influence in the Northern Domain was simply beyond measure.
