Seventh-Grade Venerable?

So, Senior Sister Ye happily led Song Shuhang away from the Underground City of Time City.

Chu Chu didn't follow. Although she really wanted to know how far things had progressed between Song Shuhang and Senior Sister Ye, she felt she couldn't be such a bright third wheel at this moment.

Especially since... before taking Song Shuhang away, Senior Sister Ye taught her a very magical sword technique.

[Dark Sword Technique, Sword Within Sword] When a sword strikes, a hidden sword aura is concealed within the sword. It is extremely well-hidden and difficult to detect during combat.

So, Chu Chu happily began to practice this magical sword technique.

Chu Chu is a girl who is easily satisfied.

Five minutes later.

Senior Sister Ye led Song Shuhang away from the Underground City of Time City.

Instantly, Song Shuhang felt a sudden surge of heat throughout his body. It was as if he had stepped out of a cool, air-conditioned room and into the blazing sun on a hot summer day!

"This is the world's corrective power. Your lifespan will be momentarily affected after you leave Time City. However, this corrective power won't have a significant impact on you. At most, it will only affect your lifespan for a minute or two," Senior Sister Ye said with a smile.

Song Shuhang nodded. Trading a minute or two of his lifespan for 1:12 of time in the Time City Underground City was a huge bargain.

Senior Sister Ye glanced at Song Shuhang and smiled, "However, the twelve days you spent in the Underground City are twelve days. Lifespan isn't calculated based on one day in the outside world, you know."

Song Shuhang was slightly disappointed; this 'time cultivation space' didn't seem to be as powerful as he had imagined.

Senior Sister Ye chuckled and said, "Let's go, I'll lead you out quietly through the back door of the Jadewater Pavilion."

"Aren't we going through the front door?" Song Shuhang asked, and why were they leaving quietly?

"If you want to be watched by all the disciples of the Jadewater Pavilion, we can go through the front gate too," Senior Sister Ye said with a light laugh. Now, everyone in the Jadewater Pavilion knows that she has found a Daoist partner, the kind who cultivates together.

Right now, more than fifty percent of the disciples in the entire Jadewater Pavilion are probably very interested in Song Shuhang. If they were to meet, although they wouldn't do anything excessive out of respect for her, a group of onlookers would be inevitable.

So, Song Shuhang followed Senior Sister Ye and quietly left through the back door of the Jadewater Pavilion.

******************************

At the front gate of the Jadewater Pavilion, the Crying Old Man still sat steadfastly in front of the gate. He meditated and cultivated in front of the gate. Because of the <Heaven's Weeping Canon>, he would suddenly burst into tears in front of the Jadewater Pavilion every now and then.

As time passed, the gates of the Jadewater Pavilion remained tightly shut.

"It's alright, I've already made up my mind. Even if it takes several years, I'll persevere." The Crying Old Man gritted his teeth and said—this was his opportunity, the way to obtain the follow-up cultivation method of the <Heaven's Weeping Canon>, which concerned his future, and he would not give up easily.

The Crying Old Man had no idea that just moments before, his chance to meet Senior Sister Ye and Song Shuhang had slipped away.

If the Crying Old Man knew that Senior Sister Ye had chosen to leave through the back door, he would surely faint from crying in front of the Jadewater Pavilion.

Jadewater Pavilion, Cloud Pavilion.

Li Yinzhu was still hanging in mid-air.

"Please put me down, okay? Even locking me up would be fine. Please don't leave me hanging like this anymore!" Li Yinzhu wanted to cry, and the chill in her body was getting worse; her Cold Illness might flare up again.

What if the Cold Illness flares up and the person wets their pants while being frozen?

This is still good; the urge to urinate is getting stronger, and it would be even more embarrassing if I wet my pants the moment the ice pack is thawed.

She'll be too ashamed to show her face then.

Who exactly is the owner of this large attic? Why is she being hung up like this, neither released nor captured? Is someone a psychopath?

******************************

On the other side.

It is located about 500 kilometers away from the Jadewater Pavilion.

Large spaceships typically travel through space.

At the very front of the airship lay a blonde female cultivator. She wore a light green dress with a slit that reached her thigh, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, combining sexiness and elegance. Her long golden hair, like threads cast from gold, shone with a dazzling luster. A black eye mask covered most of her face.

At that moment, she was dozing off in the auxiliary pilot's seat of the airship.

Beside her, a White Jade Lion licked its paw, looking utterly bored.

Behind the Immortal Ark, thirteen Golden Core Spirit Emperor were bound by magical chains, with long golden hair tied to their vital points.

These were the Golden Core Cultivator had stormed the Seven Cultivations Manor last time, only to be captured in their entirety.

Among them were Scattered Practitioner Thousand Cliffs, Scattered Practitioner Qiong Gui, Yan Wuhuan, the humanoid demon Mo Ran, as well as the Bottle Peak Master of the Limitless Demon Sect and the other seven Peak Masters of the Limitless Demon Sect.

This Immortal Ark, wielded by Six Cultivations of the 'Phoenix Saber Jasmine' and Four Cultivations White Jade Lion,' is escorting thirteen Golden Core Spirit Emperor to a distant Spirit Vein mine for mining.

While I'm at it, I'll also bring back the Spirit Stone I dug up last quarter.

Not far in front of the airship, a team was lying in ambush.

It was the leader of the 'Nine-Eyed Gama Hall' of the Limitless Demon Sect, who was lying in ambush with his subordinate peak masters.

After all, eight peak masters at the Fifth-Grade Golden Core Spirit Emperor level were captured! For a major sect like the Limitless Demon Sect, these were precious high-level combatants.

Even if it means offending the Seven Cultivations Manor, the Nine-Eyed Gama Hall has no choice but to save them.

The Nine-Eyed Gama Hall planned to ambush the flying boat, then rescue his subordinates as quickly as possible, and finally escape at top speed.

This time, he equipped each of his subordinates with escape runes.

He wanted to use blitzkrieg tactics to achieve a swift victory.

On the other side.

Further out in the universe, another figure was also searching for the Seven Cultivations Manor's flying boat.

This figure is Witch Elise friend of the Venerable Seven Cultivations.

She had just received urgent intelligence that the Limitless Demon Sect seemed to be planning to hijack one of Venerable Seven Cultivations's flying boats, so she rushed over to find an opportunity to help Seven Cultivations Venerable and repay a favor to him.

However, the ancient Witch Elise's thinking was somewhat unconventional.

No one could guess what method she would use to help Venerable Seven Cultivations's flying boat.

***************************

Ten minutes later.

Song Shuhang and Senior Sister Ye arrived at the back door of the Jadewater Pavilion.

"Let's go. By going through here, we can quietly leave Jadewater Pavilion without attracting too much attention," Senior Sister Ye said with a chuckle.

There was no one guarding the back door of the Jadewater Pavilion.

There weren't even any disciples responsible for defending the main gate, let alone the back gate!

If Song Shuhang had been observant, he would have noticed that the entire Biyue Pavilion was completely undefended. The Golden Boy and Jade Girl had come specifically to the entrance to guide Shuhang and the others into the Biyue Pavilion.

It seems that defense is superfluous for the Jadewater Pavilion?

Anyway, Senior Sister Ye and Song Shuhang arrived at the back gate of the Jadewater Pavilion without encountering any other disciples.

The back door opened, revealing a vast universe to Shuhang and Senior Sister Ye. In the distance, there were also some small meteorites drawn by the Jadewater Pavilion meteorite.

Song Shuhang took out a thick spacesuit from the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' and put it on.

Even though his small frame, at the Second-Grade level, could solve his breathing problems using the Turtle-Breathing Technique, it would still be dangerous for him to be directly exposed in space. Therefore, he would still need the protection of a spacesuit.

Senior Sister Ye chuckled and summoned a thick book.

This is her flying artifact.

The large book was opened, revealing hundreds of golden runes that swirled around its thick surface. The book's speed was definitely not much slower than that of a speed-type flying sword.

"Come on up, I'll show you," Senior Sister Ye said.

So Song Shuhang climbed onto this giant book—in the universe, he could only move by relying on the small power array attached to his spacesuit, and the speed was painfully slow.

Therefore, if you want to fly in the universe, you still have to rely on Senior Sister Ye.

"Hold on tight!" Senior Sister Ye made a hand seal, and the large book beneath her feet flew up, leaving the area of the Jadewater Pavilion.

The two were about to leave the defensive layer of 'Jadewater Pavilion'.

Just then, Senior Sister Ye suddenly paused, and the thick book that was flying stopped.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

This time, she didn't make a sound of crying; tears just streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Did something happen that made you tear up again?" Song Shuhang smiled slightly and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Senior Sister Ye's eyes.

He sensed something strange about Senior Sister Ye's crying this time. There was no melodious "woof woof" sound; she was just silent, tears streaming down her face. At this moment, Senior Sister Ye truly looked "heartbroken."

"Huh? Am I crying?" Senior Sister Ye wiped her eyes, puzzled. "Are you really crying? That's strange. Why did the tears suddenly fall? This time, I wasn't triggered, and I don't feel sad at all."

As they were talking... a beam of light flew out from the Jadewater Pavilion and landed on Senior Sister Ye.

"What happened? Ye Si, are you not allowed to leave Jadewater Pavilion?" Song Shuhang asked anxiously, recalling how Senior Sister Ye had quietly left through the back door. Could it be that Senior Sister Ye had committed some mistake and was confined to the Jadewater Pavilion, and would be punished for leaving?

Was that light of punishment just now?

"No, I remember leaving Jadewater Pavilion quite often before. I wasn't confined to my quarters," Senior Sister Ye said, puzzled.

She was startled by what that light had been. However, she couldn't avoid it, and it felt very gentle, as if it wouldn't harm her.

After a while, the tears in Senior Sister Ye's eyes stopped falling.

"It's alright, Shuhang, you don't need to worry about me," Senior Sister Ye said, trying to comfort Shuhang.

She's always like this; even when she's crying her heart out, she still makes sure to tell Song Shuhang not to worry.

Song Shuhang nodded gently and reached out again to gently wipe away Senior Sister Ye's tears.

The instant the light entered Senior Sister Ye's body, he sensed a special feeling from Senior Sister Ye, just like when he faced Venerable White.

Seventh-Grade Venerable?!
