No Field Was Ever Plowed to Ruin; It Was Always the Ox That Dropped Dead

After Li Jinyao entered the Heavenly Demon Sect first, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect came down shortly afterward and invited Bai Qiuran and the others to go inside the Mountain Gate.

Bai Qiuran and his group followed him to the sect Sect Master's Cave Abode, where they saw a refreshed Li Jinyao and a group of disciples with expressions of awe.

Where are your master and grandmaster?

Bai Qiuran seeing this.

Li Jinyao made a gesture to calm down.

"You may leave now."

She gave instructions to the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Li Jinyao had only Ascension the Immortal Realm for a year or two, so the disciples in the sect naturally recognized her as the chief disciple and sect Elder. Therefore, without any objection, they all withdrew.

After the disciples left, two more people emerged from the Cave Abode, hiding their faces and concealing themselves. Judging from their clothing, they were Huangfu Feng and Ji Lingyun.

"Oh, isn't this Sect Master Ji and Elder Huangfu?"

Bai Qiuran laughed heartily as she walked over, reaching out with both hands to grab one of their arms.

Why are you covering your face? Are you shy when you see me?

He tugged at them, and Ji Lingyun and Huangfu Feng both covered their faces tightly, but Bai Qiuran's strength was far beyond what the two of them could overcome. With just a little force, he pulled Ji Lingyun and Huangfu Feng's hands away from their faces, revealing their bruised and swollen faces.

They looked like they had a pig's head on their heads. Whether it was the handsome Huangfu Feng or the incomparably beautiful Ji Lingyun, they were now all equal.

"Sword Ancestor."

Huangfu Feng spoke, his voice sounding muffled.

Why are you back so soon?

"That's right."

Ji Lingyun also complained, "I thought that after this girl left, she could rebuild my Sect Master again after a while. Now that she's back, she beat me and my master with just one hand in front of all the sect disciples. How are we supposed to face others now?... Ugh, that brat, she showed no mercy at all, she has no conscience."

Upon hearing this, Li Jinyao turned her face away guiltily and whistled.

"We came back because the matters in the Immortal Realm were resolved."

Bai Qiuran spread his hands and said, "The Immortal Realm wasn't exactly a great place to begin with, but now, at least you can Ascension and don't have to worry about survival."

Is the Immortal Realm really that bad?

Huangfu Feng frowned upon hearing this.

"It's just that pathetic."

Bai Qiuran and said, "It should get better gradually. You can ask Jinyao for details; she knows very well."

Huangfu Feng stood there and thought for a moment.

"Wait a minute, I remember you, Sword Ancestor, originally wanted to trick me into helping you Ascension..."

"Cough cough."

Bai Qiuran coughed awkwardly twice, but Li Jinyao walked over and patted her grandmaster on the shoulder, saying, "Grandmaster, you're so petty! I went in your place, and you're still arguing with a senior like that."

"It's over."

Huangfu Feng said to Ji Lingyun, "This girl's allies have completely sided with outsiders."

After staying at the Heavenly Demon Sect for a short time, Bai Qiuran took her leave.

He originally wanted to leave Li Jinyao in the Heavenly Demon Sect, but this Little Demoness seemed to have taken him for granted, following him everywhere he went, and Li Jinyao didn't even return to the sect.

However, considering that the matters in the Immortal Realm had been resolved and Bai Qiuran didn't have any important matters to attend to for the time being, he still allowed Li Jinyao to stay by his side.

They first returned to the Fusang Immortal Palace with Jiang Lan, and then went back to Yunzhou, where they stayed at the Hehuan Sect to help Su Xiangxue and the people of Immortal City Jade Tower restore the vitality of Yunzhou.

Tang Ruowei would occasionally go to the Shangxuan Kingdom to help her niece and the Azure Nether Sword Sect build up the Guzhou, but she would never stay for too long.

Her Breastbone regeneration cycle is getting shorter and shorter. Within a month, Bai Qiuran must help her knock it off. Otherwise, if the Breastbone forms and completely blocks her chest, she will no longer be able to continue cultivating the next level of the Fortune Body Forging Technique.

It is said that Jueyunzi is currently planning a scheme to unite all the Righteous Path Demonic Path Cultivation sects and establish an alliance that can unify the entire Cultivation World, but Bai Qiuran has no intention of getting involved in this matter.

Since returning from the Divine Age, he has been dealing with matters concerning the Ghost Realm and the Immortal Realm. He also wants to relax and take a break, enjoy a leisurely life, and spend time with Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue. Moreover, Jueyunzi's plan is not a bad thing for the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

That's why he didn't return to the Azure Nether Sword Sect, but instead stayed at Su Xiangxue's Hehuan Sect. Otherwise, in such an important matter within the sect, Daoist Zhufeng and Jueyunzi would definitely have asked for his opinion.

But his leisure time wasn't all that great either. Jiang Lan and Su Xiangxue seemed to have discussed something and both wanted one of his children. So, recently, Bai Qiuran's life could be described as a bittersweet mix of pain and joy.

At first, he thought this kind of life was pretty good, but as time went on, he gradually began to understand the pain of his apprentice Bai Li.

In this world, there are no fields that can't be plowed properly, only oxen that have died from exhaustion. Bai Qiuran currently only has two lovers, and she finds it somewhat difficult to find them, while Bai Li has a group of Imperial Consort, Imperial Consort in his harem, who have been waiting for seventy thousand years.

After being entangled with his Imperial Consort Imperial Consort over a month, he still managed to take on four Immortal Emperor single-handedly. In a sense, Bai Qiuran felt quite impressed with his disciple.

Now that she finally had some free time, Bai Qiuran began to think about two questions.

First, there's the Consciousness Demon Domain behind the Consciousness Barrier. Five hundred years from now, the First Immortal Emperor will return to the Reincarnation, and Fivefold Immortal Realm Five Immortal Realms will be handed over to Le Zhentian to manage. For the Fivefold Immortal Realm before the present and the _picture_book, the primary task is to desperately develop and catch up on the progress that has been lost over the past 70,000 years. Therefore, Bai Qiuran did not expect them to be able to deal with the Consciousness Demon.

But the Consciousness Barrier will be broken sooner or later. The Spiritual Sense that Bai Qiuran attached to it can only last for ten thousand years at most. It won't work if he doesn't deal with the Consciousness Demon.

Therefore, the task of finding a way to deal with the Consciousness Demon ultimately falls to him.

The second question is his lifelong wish: how to condense all the Purple Mansion True Qi in his body into true and Book of Questions essence.

After returning from the Divine Age, and with so much time having passed, and with the Ghost Realm Minor Purple Mansion Condensation Method, Foundation Establishment Pool, Immortal-Crushing Lock, and all sorts of other things coming and going, Bai Qiuran's True Qi and True Essence ratio has remained at approximately 10% to 20%.

If this calculation continues, without external forces, Bai Qiuran still have to wait another three thousand years to successfully Foundation Establishment.

But after River of Time, he has learned how to use external forces to condense True Essence. The key is to have a strong pressure to suppress his Purple Mansion.

Currently, the Intelligence doing this is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao certainly won't help him. Therefore, Bai Qiuran plans to wander around the Void sometime to see if there's anything within that vast and boundless Void that can replace the pressure the Heavenly Dao is putting on him and help him successfully complete his Foundation Establishment.
