This Place Is Quiet, We Can...

Hao and Yao stayed on Purple Jade Mountain for tens of thousands of years until they felt it was time to return to Jade Capital Mountain, lest their master emerge from seclusion while they were still out in the wild.

Over these tens of thousands of years, Wu Chu would occasionally go into seclusion.

On this day, they bid farewell to Wu Chu and Houtu, and set off on their Departure home.

After living together for tens of thousands of years, Wu Chu could sense that Hao and Yao truly treated him like family, with respect yet also closeness.

Sometimes they were so innocent that they were almost endearing, making it hard for Wu Chu to associate them with the future emperors and empresses.

When they returned, Wu Chu didn't give them anything valuable, but instead gave them some crop seeds and asked Little Moon Spirit to prepare some food for their ancestral master.

Although Hao had studied cooking with Little Moon Spirit, he clearly couldn't reach Little Moon Spirit level in that area.

Besides crop seeds, there are also some spiritual fruits, such as Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple, pine nuts from White-Barked Pine, dried persimmons from Ghost-Face Persimmon... and Big Red Robe tea.

"Sister, Yueling, Xiao Yu, I'm so reluctant to leave you!"

At the edge of the Mountain Protection Array Purple Jade Mountain, Yao hugged the three girls and said with some reluctance.

After living together for tens of thousands of years, Yao had long since become sisters with them.

The young woman patted her on the back and comforted her, saying, "A Chu once said that life is like this, with joy and sorrow. Joy comes from gathering, and parting is painful. But without the pain of parting, where would the joy of reunion come from? Believe that the path of cultivation is long, and there will be a time for us to meet again."

"Um!"

Hao stepped forward and hugged Wu Chu, saying somewhat emotionally, "Senior brother, take care!"

Wu Chu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since I'm not by Master's side, I'll leave the responsibility of taking care of him to you and Yao. After you return to the mountain, please give Master my regards."

Hao smiled and said, "Senior brother, please don't say that. Taking care of Master's daily needs is what Yao and I should do. But senior brother, without Master by your side, you'll have to deal with all the dangers yourself. You don't need to worry about that. Just be careful when dealing with those Demonic Evil."

Wu Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I also have Supreme Treasure to protect me."

After a pause, Wu Chu continued, "When I achieve the Daluo Realm, I will personally travel to Jade Capital Mountain to pay my respects to my master and to visit you all!"

Hao laughed and said, "Then junior brother will await your arrival at Jade Capital Mountain!"

Wu Chu chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "Don't be! Advancing to the Daluo Realm isn't that easy. If you have time, you can come find me at Purple Jade Mountain."

"Sister, we're leaving. Please tell Sister Li we're sorry, we won't wait for her."

Wu Chu walked over and said, "Junior Sister, don't worry! She won't mind. She's in seclusion and couldn't come to see you off, so please don't mind."

Yao chuckled and said, "Senior brother, you can work harder now! Both of your older sisters are so much more powerful than you, hehe..."

Wu Chu hadn't expected that even as they were about to leave, they wouldn't forget to mock his senior brother. With a wry smile, he reached out and tapped her forehead, "Naughty!"

"Hehe... Goodbye, Senior Brother! Goodbye, Sister! Goodbye, everyone!"

The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance. Wu Chu took out the Purple Moon Zither and silently played it as a farewell.

Friends come and go, and he's gotten used to it.

The three little ones were also in low spirits. Although parting was not unfamiliar to them, Wu Chu still gave them a break.

Then everyone went to the countryside for a barbecue, using this outdoor activity to ease the sadness of parting in everyone's hearts.

In truth, for those who cultivate themselves, such sorrows are easily dispelled. However, in the long course of life, such sorrows are actually quite rare, so rather than directly erasing them, it's better to silently experience and feel them.

Over time, these feelings naturally fade away.

Life must go on, regardless of anyone's will.

When everything returned to calm, Wu Chu went into seclusion again.

Tens of thousands of years passed after that closure.

With Yibao's help, the framework of the Five Elements Dao in his dantian is mostly complete. If the Taiyi Realm is divided into three stages: 'early, middle, and late', then his current cultivation level should be in the late middle stage of the Taiyi Realm.

This speed of enlightenment was brought about by Yibao. If he had followed his own pace, it would have taken several times, or even ten times, more time.

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that one might not understand it at all.

If you can't understand it, that's a death sentence on the path of spiritual cultivation.

In the Primordial Land, countless living beings are trapped in this strange cycle of 'not being able to understand'.

Even powerful beings like the Ancestors are still within the realm of 'unfathomable' understanding, only their realm is far more advanced than that of other beings.

Wu Chu was very fortunate that Yibao's computational and deductive abilities could be used by him.

So far, he hasn't encountered a situation he can't understand. It's just that the growth of his Primordial Spirit power can't keep up with his speed of enlightenment, so he needs to rest.

If this gets out, I'll probably get a beating!

I'll call you Versailles!

"Finally decided to close the door?"

As soon as he emerged from the pass, he encountered the Fox Ancestress, who was smiling at him.

"Sister, you're here! It's been so long, I've missed you terribly."

Wu Chu naturally stepped forward and embraced the beauty in his arms. The feeling of her warm, soft body was Human Path.

The Little Flower Fairies covered their big eyes, but secretly peeked through a gap in their fingers to watch, blinking their big eyes with curiosity.

Not far away, the Little Fox had just happily gotten up, but then pouting and sat back down.

The three little creatures that were fighting on the lake turned their heads and glanced at the Summit of the Sacred Tree. They then joined forces again, with the Little Qilin and the Little Phoenix teaming up against the Little Yellow Dragon.

Bai Jun, who had been resting on the Tree Platform while watching the three children fight, suddenly got up, but then lay down again in the blink of an eye.

Bai Ze, who had been in his Little Beast form, smiled slightly, took a sip of milk tea, and then started shaking his head and humming an unknown tune while wagging his little tail.

"Brother A Chu ..."

The moment Little Moon Spirit's voice reached Wu Chu's ears, Wu Chu's figure was taken away by the Fox Ancestress and disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were in a valley surrounded by green mountains, with tall mountains and dense forests. The valley was filled with lush green grass and the fragrance of flowers. It was springtime again.

"Sis, what are you doing?"

Wu Chu looked around, curiously observing Qingqiu Li.

What do you think?

As she spoke, she lightly touched Wu Chu's chest with her slender finger, knocking him to the ground. Then, with a swift movement, she lay on top of him, her eyes sparkling, her breath sweet as orchids, and said, "No one's bothering us here! How about it? This is a great place I found on your Purple Jade Mountain, surrounded by green hills, we can..."

Wu Chu's eyes lit up, and he looked at her with great anticipation.
