Do immortals really exist in this world?
If it cannot be found...
"No! I'm sure I can find it. As long as I can find the immortal, Brother Ye won't be angry anymore."
We're still good friends!
After leaving Ye Household Village, Ji Wan traveled through mountains and rivers.
All in search of the legendary immortals.
But she was just a peasant girl; how could she so easily seek immortality and enlightenment?
Along the way, not a single immortal was seen.
They suffered quite a bit.
Mountain wolves and vicious jackals, bandits and outlaws, thugs and scoundrels.
For Ji Wan, surviving was already an incredible stroke of luck.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off.
After three years, Ji Wan was finally fortunate enough to encounter a minor sect of cultivators.
The sect has only a dozen or so members, and the sect leader is an old cultivator who has Foundation Establishment and is one or two hundred years old.
Ji Wan is the most talented person in the entire sect.
The talent of Dual Spirit Root is considered a treasure by the sect.
The little resources they had were almost entirely devoted to her.
This allowed Ji Wan to reach the Qi Refining Ninth Layer in just five years.
They are only one step away from reaching the Foundation Establishment.
Now that Ji Wan has Ji Wan in her cultivation, she feels confident that she can also guide others in their cultivation.
He specifically asked his master for permission to go home to visit his family.
He actually had other thoughts in mind.
"I have already reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and according to the rules, I can have relatives within the sect."
"Upon returning, I sought out Brother Ye and informed him of his cultivation journey, so that we may one day achieve a carefree and immortal life together!"
Eighteen-year-old Ji Wan blossomed into a graceful and beautiful young woman.
Thinking back to her childhood, a barely perceptible sense of unease arose within her.
For some reason, after practicing spiritual cultivation, I looked back on the past.
She always felt that her Brother Ye was a little strange.
But I couldn't quite put my finger on what was strange about it.
Thankfully, she'll be home soon!
Standing on a flying sword, Ji Wan sped away.
"Whoosh!"
The sword wind pierced the air, sharp and swift.
The scenery before me was becoming increasingly familiar.
A familiar village, a familiar courtyard.
Until, rows of bright red decorations and a bustling scene in the courtyard came into view.
Ji Wan frozen in mid-air, her voice filled with disbelief.
"You... you actually married someone else?"
Ji Wan looked down at the groom, her whole body trembling.
His tone was full of shock, anger, and disbelief.
She couldn't even imagine what was happening before her eyes.
She couldn't believe that the boy she had grown up with would end up marrying someone else.
The startled and angry voices caused all the guests in the courtyard to look up.
After many years, Ji Wan was no longer the naive country girl she once was.
He was dressed entirely in a plain white robe.
He stood on a gleaming silver flying sword, exuding an ethereal and graceful aura.
No one recognized Ji Wan at all.
They regarded him as a passing immortal master, and bowed and knelt down, speaking with utmost respect.
He loudly proclaimed, "Greetings, Immortal Master!"
A middle-aged peasant woman, however, looked at Ji Wan's face and seemed to vaguely understand something, and said in a shocked tone.
"Are you... are you Wan Yaya?!"
"I'm your neighbor, Third Sister-in-law! You... why are you only just getting back!"
Where have you been all these years?
"Wan Yatou? That girl from the Ji Household?"
"It's her! She actually became a Celestial Master!"
His words startled everyone in the courtyard.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but Ji Wan's gaze remained fixed on Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Ji Wan, who was standing on a flying Ji Wan above him.
His gaze showed a slight surprise.
He never expected that Ji Wan could become a cultivator in the illusion.
Could it be that in a past life, it was because he left first that Ji Wan eventually went out to seek immortality and became a cultivator?
Lost in thought, Ji Wan's gaze in the sky gradually turned cold.
Eight years of spiritual practice have caused the last vestige of her obsession to dissipate today.
Yes.
What in this world is truly unchanging?
So be it, so be it.
In the future, the mortal and immortal realms will be separated, and there should be no entanglement between them.
only...
"You used to mock and treat me coldly, but you never said why."
"Today, you have told me the reason; from now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Looking down at Ye Chenfeng, Ji Wan resentment in her heart.
For years, she had wanted to know why Ye Chenfeng had suddenly become cold and distant towards her that afternoon eight years ago.
What exactly is the reason?
Faced with this question, Ye Chenfeng remained silent for a moment.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked up at Ji Wan in the sky.
His lips moved slightly.
There's no reason, if you insist on an answer.
"Let's just say... I think so."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wan's expression in the sky changed repeatedly.
She turned away, closed her eyes, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
The people in the courtyard were also somewhat bewildered by this sudden scene.
I don't know what happened.
"No reason... hehe... hahaha!"
Hahahaha!
The low chuckles gradually morphed into unrestrained, maniacal laughter.
Ji Wan seemed to have thought of something, and her tightly closed eyes snapped open in an instant.
His gaze was fixed intently on Ye Chenfeng below, his expression sharp.
You are not my Brother Ye!
Who exactly are you? A demon? Outer Dao?
"How dare you possess my Brother Ye!"
Ji Wan's sword tip suddenly turned and aimed at Ye Chenfeng below.
At that moment, she suddenly realized what was happening.
Eight years ago, on that afternoon, Ye Chenfeng was no longer Ye Chenfeng.
For years she didn't know why, and couldn't find any answers.
I can only guess wildly.
But just now, she suddenly realized.
"Me, a cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, appearing on a sword in such an ordinary and dilapidated place as Ye Household Village?"
Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't left Ye Household Village in all these years.
"A simple, honest farmer, yet he remained so calm and composed upon seeing a cultivator flying on a sword."
"Don't you find it a little strange? Besides, Brother Ye has aspired to cultivate since he was a child."
"I saw cultivators here today, but they didn't even show the slightest expression..."
Who are you?!
Ji Wan Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng was slightly taken aback by what he said.
He hadn't thought of that.
Oh no! Why does it feel like his Human Immortal Tribulation is getting out of control?
If he were to Ji Wan like this, then this calamity would clearly be doomed to fail.
No, I can't just die like this.
Ye Chenfeng's eyes flickered as he sought an opportunity to break free from the tribulation.
But Ji Wan a cold laugh and didn't hesitate any longer.
The Law Power of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer was released out of thin air and transformed into a spiritual rope.
The spirit rope flew down and bound Ye Chenfeng tightly.
He grabbed it and pulled it in front of him, then continued without stopping.
He directly sealed off Ye Chenfeng's five senses and flew away from Ye Household Village on his sword.
The crowd remained standing there, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Outside Ye Household Village, atop the flying sword.
Ji Wan her index finger together, her Spiritual Qi surging like thorns, against the lower part of Ye Chenfeng's throat.
He spoke in a threatening tone.
"You demon! Tell me, where is my Brother Ye?!"
