Before long, Ao Tong slowly descended from the sky, her robes fluttering as though the Nine Heavens Profound Lady had descended into the mortal world.
Ye Xuan looked at the peerlessly elegant Ao Tong standing before him, sensing the pure and vigorous immortal laws within her. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Ao Tong, you did well." Ye Xuan smiled warmly.
Ao Tong walked up to Ye Xuan, the chill in her eyes long since melting into limpid autumn waters.
Had Ye Xuan not acted in time just now, she would likely have fallen prey to the Jieyin Ancient Hall.
"Thank you," Ao Tong said softly, unable to conceal the affection in her voice.
The three of them reminisced for a while in the valley. Ao Tong told Ye Xuan of her experiences over the years, while Ye Xuan listened patiently.
After a while, Ye Xuan said, "The laws of the Lower Realm are ultimately incomplete and unsuitable for your continued cultivation. Come back to the Heavenly Court of the Upper Realm with me. A broader world awaits you there."
Ao Tong naturally did not refuse. She nodded and obediently stood at Ye Xuan's side.
Then Ye Xuan raised a hand and swept it through the air. Great Luo Immortal Light surged forth, directly tearing apart the solid Realm Barrier between the Lower Realm and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
With Ao Tong and the Willow Deity, he transformed into Three streaks of light and stepped into a Space Channel, returning to the Heavenly Court of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
The moment she returned to the Upper Realm, Ao Tong keenly sensed the dense, inexhaustible longevity substance between heaven and earth, as well as the flawless and complete Great Dao Laws.
