Don't Say Another Word!
"Junior Sister Miaoxuan, this way please!" Zhang Xuanlin stepped aside to invite her.
In the blink of an eye, the two left this place, and the Heavenly Human Realm separated them from each other.
Lin Jingxing softly. He had heard some things about Li Miaoxuan and could roughly guess what she wanted to say.
The others were somewhat surprised; they had all Lower Realm together, so why did they need to speak privately?
"Senior Brother Lin, do you know why Senior Sister Miaoxuan sought out Sect Master?" asked Qi Pingchun, Cultivator at the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change who had come with him from the Spirit Realm.
He was older than Li Miaoxuan, but in the Immortal Path Sect was paramount, and Li Miaoxuan had already reached the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change realm, so he also addressed her as his senior sister.
Since Lin Jingxing and Li Miaoxuan both underwent the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change, their age and the time they entered the Sect were used as the criteria.
Lin Jingxing said indifferently, "It's just some mundane matters. Junior Sister Li's cultivation years are still short, and she can't forget her past worldly affairs."
"It is said that Senior Sister Li had a marriage in the mortal world and had a son. That is why she rejected the Saint Son Qin of Yunmeng Holy Land. Is this true?" Another person curiously joined in.
Li Miaoxuan possessed extraordinary Tian Zong, achieving the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change of the Huantian Realm Transformation within the Lingxu Sect in just a few decades. She was known as one of the most promising Cultivator in the Sect to reach the Hun Tian Realm, so naturally, many people paid attention to her.
After all, even in the Spirit Realm, those at the Three Heavenly Change Realms are considered experts.
"I think this is just an excuse. When Senior Sister Li entered the Spirit Realm, she was only in her early twenties, at the Dao Fire Peak. Such a person must know that she can walk the Heaven Ascending Path and enter the Cultivation World. How could she be interested in a mortal from the Floating World? Besides, who in the Floating World is worthy of her? I think Senior Sister Miaoxuan is clearly focused on the Great Dao. She probably doesn't want matters of love to affect her cultivation, which is why she spread this rumor within the Sect."
Lin Jingxing snorted coldly, "Junior Sister Li has not cultivated for long enough to know the hardships and difficulties of cultivation. She disregards her own future in cultivation, how foolish! In the path of cultivation, what is not important: Dharma, companions, wealth, and environment? If she thinks she can achieve the Great Dao by just focusing on arduous cultivation, she is being far too naive!"
The only female Cultivator among the five said calmly, "Senior Brother Lin's words are too utilitarian. We Cultivator cultivate to take our destiny into our own hands. I think Senior Sister Li is quite admirable."
"Junior Sister Miaoxuan wants to ask about the Ding Twelve Floating Realm, right?" Zhang Xuanlin asked directly.
"Does Senior Brother Zhang know my background?"
Zhang Xuanlin looked at the young woman in the white veil before him. She appeared to be of ordinary appearance, but with his cultivation as Celestial Person, he could naturally tell that she was concealing her face with Law Treasure. He smiled and said, "After all, I am the Sect Master of the Lower Sect. If I were unaware that such an extraordinary woman had appeared in the Floating World under my jurisdiction, it would be a serious dereliction of duty."
"Senior Brother Zhang, you flatter me. Miaoxuan dares not accept the title of an extraordinary woman."
Zhang Xuanlin laughed loudly, "Born in the Floating World, achieving Dao Fire at the age of twenty, and completing the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Change at the age of one hundred—such talent is rare even in the Spirit Realm."
Li Miaoxuan didn't dwell on this and asked directly, "Senior Brother Zhang, since you know my background, I'll be frank. In recent years, have Cultivator from this realm crossed the Heaven Ascending Path to enter the Cultivation World?"
Zhang Xuanlin shook his head and said, "No!"
"Not yet?" Li Miaoxuan's heart tightened.
Zhang Xuanlin said, "There are some things that Junior Sister may not know. It is that in the year you entered the Spirit Realm from the Heaven Ascending Path, the Ancient Demon Refining Array of the Ding Twelve Realms stopped operating and merged with the Space-Time of the Cultivation World."
"The Demon Refining Array has stopped operating? Could it be that we have fallen into the Demon Realm?" Li Miaoxuan was shocked, and she almost lost control of her Celestial Person aura. After entering the Spirit Realm, she had also found some information about the Floating World in Ancient Records, and she immediately thought of this matter.
Zhang Xuanlin smiled and said, "Junior Sister Miaoxuan, please don't be anxious. If it were following the trajectory of an ordinary Floating World, the Demon Refining Array would stop operating, and falling into the Demon Realm would be the final outcome. But this realm is quite peculiar!"
Li Miaoxuan composed herself and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhang Xuanlin then recounted how his Divine Soul Lower Realm mortal realm, encountered the Heaven and Earth Stele General, and initiated a century-long World Conflict, before saying, "That's roughly how it is."
Li Miaoxuan never expected that she would discover so many things after leaving the Floating World.
She then asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, could you lend me the Sect's Formation imprint so that a wisp of my Heavenly Human Divine Soul can return to the Floating World?"
Zhang Xuanlin sighed, "I'm afraid that won't work."
Li Miaoxuan said, "Don't worry, my Divine Soul entering the realm will strictly follow the Sect's rules and will not disrupt the operation of this realm."
Zhang Xuanlin smiled wryly and waved his hand, saying, "Junior Sister, you misunderstand. It's not that I'm unwilling, but the Heaven and Earth Stele isolates the inside from the outside, making it difficult for all realms to enter. If World Conflict, the Ding Twelve Realms will be promoted to the Exquisite World, and the previous spatial coordinate imprints will be useless. If we lose, our origin will be taken away, and we will probably immediately fall into the Demon Realm, so..."
Upon hearing this, Li Miaoxuan was shaken and unable to control herself.
She also had some understanding of the Exquisite World. Even with the treasures she left behind and the foundation that allowed her to Floating World, how could a mere hundred years be enough for her to World Conflict?
Even though her Dao Heart was very firm, she still couldn't control herself when she heard about this. With the release of her Celestial Person aura, the entire Great Evolution Mountain changed color.
Zhang Xuanlin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Junior Sister Miaoxuan, don't worry too much. In the century-long World Conflict, the Ding Twelve Realms may not necessarily lose. In fact, there's a good chance that the Ding Twelve Realms will become one of the Exquisite World."
Li Miaoxuan looked up and stared at Zhang Xuanlin.
Zhang Xuanlin smiled wryly, "Don't ask the other junior sisters. I have made a pact with someone and swore Divine Soul Oath not to tell outsiders. If it weren't for your connection to the Ding Twelve Realms, I wouldn't have told you a thing."
Li Miaoxuan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang. I believe Senior Brother words."
Zhang Xuanlin comforted him, "Thinking about it now is useless. Under the Heaven and Earth Stele, unless it's Immortal... even if Immortal were to intervene, it would be difficult to World-Breaking and enter."
Li Miaoxuan exchanged a few more words with Zhang Xuanlin, then took her leave and returned to the Heaven-Character Courtyard alone.
The Heaven-Character Courtyard is located on a small mountain peak and consists of nine Courtyard, each with its own cultivation cave.
Lin Jingxing and several junior brothers were enjoying the scenery in a pavilion when they noticed Li Miaoxuan's somewhat troubled expression. He smiled and rose to greet her, "Junior Sister Miaoxuan, have you inquired about the Floating World? Don't be too distressed by it. The beings in the Floating World are born in the morning and die in the evening. The mortal world, past events, are all fleeting clouds. You should be focusing on the future. Just now, my junior brothers and I were discussing the Loulan Assembly six months from now. Since we 'Lower Realm the mortal realm, we should go and see this grand event marking the opening of High Antiquity ruins. At that time, the Saint Son Xiao of the Yunmeng Holy Land will also be there. Junior Sister, you..."
Li Miaoxuan raised her head, her gaze icy. "Say one more word and I won't be polite!"
Lin Jingxing's face darkened. "Junior Sister Miaoxuan, I'm only advising you out of kindness, for the sake of our shared Senior Brother, Xiao..."
A glint of silver flashed in Li Miaoxuan's eyes.
Lin Jingxing screamed and fell backward!
Li Miaoxuan remained silent and turned to enter the Courtyard.
