The Luo Heaven Sea Group Departs

Looking at the magnificent and beautiful scenery of the Spirit Moon Sect Spirit Moon Sect, Gu Ye and the others couldn't help but nod in praise. This place was much more ethereal than their own, and it was more like a blessed land of immortals.

Although Zhang Lingyu had come here with his daughter before, he still had to admit that he truly loved this place. Perched atop the mountains, moving freely through the air, this was the true style of an immortal.

At the highest point, in the Wind and Snow Pavilion, Lu Xiu brewed a pot of Silver Moon Needle tea and poured a cup for everyone. "This is a specialty spiritual tea of our Spirit Moon Sect— Silver Moon Needle. It's not the best spiritual tea, so please don't find it offensive."

Miaoyin took the tea and tasted it. It was slightly astringent at first, but then it had a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. It was very light, but just right. Overall, this spiritual tea was quite good, on par with the tea that their Yaoguang Immortal Sect used to entertain guests.

After the group offered their praises, they then enjoyed tea and the scenery. Su Sui and Lu Xiu would occasionally explain the functions of the various sect buildings below, and even recount the origins of some of the more unusual structures.

"Can I go over to that mountain over there?" Miaoyin asked, pointing to a mountain that was slightly obscured by the clouds in the distance.

"You can go, but that's the Hall of Heroes. What would you do there, sister?" Lu Xiu explained and tried to dissuade her.

I'm going to deliver something.

Seeing that the other party insisted, Su Sui nodded to Lu Xiu, indicating that she should take her there.

Gu Ye glanced at Miaoyin. He knew what Miaoyin was going to do, and although it was somewhat inappropriate, he didn't say anything.

"Sister, come with me."

The two flew to the entrance of the mountain. Miaoyin didn't use her Divine Sense to scan, as that wasn't appropriate. Instead, she looked at Lu Xiu beside her and asked, "Where is your master's wife...?"

Lu Xiu didn't ask anything, but slowly led the way. Half an hour later, the two arrived at a grave. Miaoyin looked at the grave in silence for a long time, and finally let out a soft sigh.

She then took out a wooden carving, placed it in front of the grave, bowed slightly, and whispered, "Let's go."

Lu Xiu glanced at the wooden carving; it depicted two small figures holding hands, strikingly similar to her master and Mu Wan.

"Have you seen her?" Lu Xiu felt stupid as soon as he asked. Miaoyin was far away in the Luo Heaven Sea and had just arrived. How could she have seen her master's wife?

Miaoyin shook her head and said, "No, but Shen Ge carved some wood carvings based on her likeness before, and I remembered them."

The following evening, Han Yu personally led the group of people from Yaoguang who wanted to leave Heavenly South to the formation site on the Ice and Snow Plateau. In addition, some cultivators who had regretted their decision earlier gathered here, hoping to hitch a ride.

Shen Ge stared at the formation for a long time before shaking his head; he couldn't understand it at all.

"This formation... is truly..." Venerable Kaiyang sighed. Although he was now in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he still couldn't understand this formation at all.

Han Yu stepped out of the carriage and stood in the air. She raised her hand and gently waved it, and a phoenix appeared out of thin air, spreading its wings and soaring.

Then the phoenix suddenly crashed into the formation, its power and speed were not terrifying, and it even seemed less powerful than an attack from Golden Core Stage.

But this seemingly ordinary attack caused Kaiyang Yaoguang and the others to freeze in place.

Others might not feel the terror, but these Nascent Soul Realm could clearly sense that the attack was like a heavenly blade, capable of slicing them down at any moment, leaving them no chance to escape.

"Is this the terror of the Spirit Severing Realm expert?" Venerable Yaoguang shook his head and sighed, "No wonder the Nascent Soul is only ranked in the lower realms. Indeed, the Spirit Severing and the Nascent Soul stage are completely different levels."

When the phoenix crashed into the formation, there was no explosion or scattering of flames as expected; only a crisp cracking sound, and the formation shattered into a large piece like shards of glass.

A violent, icy wind, carrying a dense spiritual energy, blew in from the hole, faintly mixed with a hint of blood.

"Alright, you may proceed immediately."

After saying that, Han Yu returned to the carriage.

Venerable Kaiyang and the others bowed and expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

They then began to organize the team to quickly cross the large hole.

Zhang Lingyu and Miaoyin flew to Shen Ge's side. Zhang Lingyu patted Shen Ge's shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Shen, I'll be taking my leave now. Maybe you'll have to call me 'senior' from now on."

"Brother Shen, goodbye. Let's meet again in the Heavenly Desolation Domain when we have the chance."

Shen Ge nodded to Miaoyin and said, "When I come over in the future, you guys better have a stronger backer so I can get some rest too."

After saying that, Shen Ge slapped away Zhang Lingyu's hand that was on his shoulder and chuckled sarcastically, "If you're not afraid that your precious daughter will pull out all your beard, you can try. Senior, huh? If you still can't catch up with me by then, you'll have completely lost face."

At this moment, Shen Ge suddenly turned her head to look, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly.

Amidst the icy storm behind him, a graceful figure was slowly approaching.

Zhang Lingyu and Miaoyin glanced at Shen Ge, feeling as if they knew this person who had come over quite well.

A moment later, the beautiful figure stopped not far from Shen Ge. Li Xue looked at Shen Ge and smiled, her bright smile seemingly dispelling the surrounding storm.

"You're back."

"Yes, you're back. I tried to contact you before but you didn't reply. I thought you had already left with those other people."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Shen Ge remained silent for a few moments, then took out a Sword Bamboo flying sword and a shield and handed them over, saying, "Be careful on your journey, the Heavenly Desolation Domain is gathering."

Li Xue didn't stand on ceremony and took it, saying, "I'll be waiting for you in the Heavenly Desolation Domain."

She then took a few steps and, in no time at all, reached the cave entrance and followed the flow of people through.

"Brother Shen, this is..." Zhang Lingyu asked with a light laugh, seemingly teasing Shen Ge.

"We've been through thick and thin together, so you two can be considered friends. Brother Lingyu, Miaoyin, please keep an eye on things on the way."

"She's in the Late Golden Core Stage, and you want us to take care of her?" Zhang Lingyu exclaimed, somewhat exaggeratedly, "I might not even be able to beat her, and you want me to help take care of her?"

"What I mean is, save her when she's in danger," Shen Ge said irritably. "This journey is destined to be fraught with peril, and without fellow cultivators traveling with her, she'll inevitably struggle to cope on her own."

"Alright, alright, I'll help look after them." Zhang Lingyu glanced at the group, which had almost all left, and said, "Alright, that's all for now, Brother Shen. Farewell, see you in the Heavenly Desolation Domain."

"Also, I'm entrusting my daughter to you. You'd better take good care of her for me."

After saying that, Zhang Lingyu turned and flew towards the gap.

Miaoyin didn't say anything, just nodded to Shen Ge, and then turned and left.
