Chapter 73

The other continent that can maintain normal operation is Guangping Continent, which is controlled by the Sword Reverence Sect.

Both of them had mixed feelings upon hearing the news.

Ji Li is their mortal enemy. However, Ji Li is also a very capable sect leader. His cunning is not only reflected in his schemes against Shen Duheng, but he also has a lot of methods for operating the entire Sword Reverence Sect and even the Guangping Continent.

Shan Heyuan commented that people are multifaceted, and even someone as cunning as Ji Li has her merits.

However, no matter what merits he may have, he is destined to die, and neither of them are the kind of people who would show mercy.

I just don't know how long it will be before I can get my revenge.

Chapter 73

Upon arriving in Fu Province, one cannot bear to see old friends.

Shan Heyuan remembered the Spiritual Power patterns of the Realm Spirit and sent a message to the Realm Spirit directly.

Anyway, one of them Peak Spirit Transformation and the other Spirit Transformation Early Stage, so they are considered to have high cultivation levels no matter where they go.

Apart from Ji Li, who has already Tribulation Transcendence, no other cultivator can pose a threat to them.

As for Ji Li--

Shan Heyuan was certain that Ji Li, who always chose to keep a low profile, would not jump out and become their enemy at this time.

Ji Li was indeed more powerful than them and had the ability to kill them, but the price Ji Li would have to pay was something she absolutely could not afford.

Especially in this chaotic era, Shan Heyuan did not believe that Ji Li's enemies would let him go if he was seriously injured.

Therefore, Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng appeared openly in public without any hesitation.

When they first appeared after removing their disguises, there were still quite a few people spying on them.

Once they revealed their strength, those who had been spying on them all disappeared.

Everyone's smart enough to know who they can and can't mess with.

Upon receiving their message, the Realm Spirit quickly said it would come to visit them and asked where they should meet.

Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng booked an inn in Fu Province, the central city of Fujiang City, and asked Realm Spirit to come to the inn to find them.

Fujiang City is located at the foot of the Spirit Jade Palace Mountain. Like Sword Reverence City, Fujiang City is actually controlled by the Spirit Jade Palace and is indeed Spirit Jade Palace territory.

The Realm Spirit was amazed by their boldness and agreed without hesitation.

That afternoon, Realm Spirit Shanlai to meet them.

However, Realm Spirit did not come alone; she was holding the hand of a middle-aged woman who appeared to be a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator.

At a glance, Shen Duheng recognized him as Yun Junping, the current master of the Spirit Jade Palace.

When Yun Junping saw Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng, he gave a half-bow. "Senior Qingyun, Sect Master Shen."

Realm Spirit stared at Shan Heyuan: "You're actually from Qingyun."

Shan Heyuan smiled, "I only remembered it later."

When Shan Heyuan used Qingyun as his Daoist name to roam the cultivation world, Realm Spirit was still weak, and the current Lingjing Palace Master, Yun Junping, was only recently born and had not yet become active on the grand stage of the cultivation world.

Therefore, his acknowledgment of being called a senior was not presumptuous.

The group exchanged greetings.

Realm Spirit looked at Shan Heyuan: "Something's wrong with you. Are you no longer human?"

Shan Heyuan: "Good eye."

Realm Spirit couldn't help but say, "Your cultivation level is a bit off. You've already reached the Spirit Transformation Early Stage, how can you cultivate so quickly? Even if you regain your previous body, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to return to your peak, right?"

Shan Heyuan: "I've had a rather special fortuitous opportunity."

Realm Spirit seemed to be deep in thought, "So, your attempt to save the cultivation world back then really brought you immense benefits? Heavenly Dao has been favoring you in every way?"

This was an answer that couldn't be given; to answer would seem somewhat boastful. Shan Heyuan simply smiled again in response.

Realm Spirit couldn't help but sigh, "You're really lucky, aren't you? You haven't encountered any bad things since you became famous, have you?"

Shan Heyuan: "We also have enemies."

Realm Spirit curled her lip. "You guys have this kind of luck, what is Ji Li?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Junping gently squeezed Realm Spirit's hand, signaling her not to say anything more, lest she get involved in the grudges of the Sword Reverence Sect.

Realm Spirit, however, remained completely unfazed. "We're going to take them both to the palace anyway, what's there to be afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Heyuan looked at the little girl-like Realm Spirit in front of him, and fragments of memories flashed through his mind.

Thousands of years ago, when Realm Spirit was with her previous master, he raised her like a daughter and spoiled her rotten.

No wonder she developed such a straightforward personality.

The intertwining of past and present memories felt rather peculiar, but not unpleasant. It gave him the feeling that thousands of years had passed, yet the world remained the same, and he himself remained the same.

Lord Yunping had no way to deal with Realm Spirit, so he turned to Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng and said, "Since you two have come to Fu Province, please allow us to entertain you. Staying at an inn is inconvenient, how about staying at the Spirit Jade Palace?"

Lord Yunping had a kind face, a dignified demeanor, and a very gentle voice, which made both Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng quite fond of him.

The two exchanged a glance.

Shen Duheng said, "Palace Master is too kind. There are mostly women in the palace, so it might not be convenient for us to stay there."

Lord Yunping: "There's nothing inconvenient about it. It's not like there aren't male disciples in the palace. Besides, with your cultivation levels, it's truly an honor for us that you two seniors are willing to come to the palace."

Realm Spirit, impatient with their polite formalities, said, "Please don't stand on ceremony. In the current situation, it's inconvenient to be out here. Why don't you come and become a guest elder in our Spirit Jade Palace? We can provide whatever Cultivation Resources you need, and we also hope you can lend a hand if we need anything."

The two were surprised by the Spirit Jade Palace's idea.

Realm Spirit, "Having cultivated to this level, you must need a lot of resources to break through further, right? It would be much more convenient to have someone run errands for you if anything happens. In that case, it seems that being a Rogue Cultivator outside is not as good as becoming an elder in a major sect."

Realm Spirit, "You definitely can't go back to the Sword Reverence Sect, and you're probably not very familiar with other sects either. Instead of making friends with new sects, why don't you come and become an elder in our Spirit Jade Palace? At least I'm familiar with you, and we can at least say we know each other fairly well."

That's absolutely true.

Having spent so long in Shan Heyuan's Dantian Small World, Realm Spirit's understanding of it is certainly much deeper than that of ordinary people.

When Shan Heyuan locked her in his Dantian Small World, he read some of her memories and became quite familiar with her.

Nevertheless, it is still impossible for Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng to become elders at the Spirit Jade Palace.

Their entanglement with the Sword Reverence Sect is too deep.

Besides, with their current cultivation level, they can find their own way to get what they need; there's no need for them to become guest elders in exchange.

The two declined.

Realm Spirit turned to look at Yun Junping: "I told you they couldn't possibly become elders at the Spirit Jade Palace, but you didn't believe me, Little Junping."

Yun Junping smiled and said, "We should at least give it a try."

Seeing their reactions, Shan Heyuan asked with a smile, "You think highly of us?"

Realm Spirit: "Do you remember that long-circulated divination that said the only hope for this world lies with the transmigrators?"

Of course they remembered.

Shan Heyuan asked, "Do you think this divination will come true for me?"

Realm Spirit: "It's not that we think it's true, but we had someone do another divination, and the divination did indeed come true for you. Judging from your current behavior, I feel the divination was quite accurate."

Realm Spirit thought for a moment and said, "How about this? If you don't want to be guest elders of our Spirit Jade Palace, then come and stay for a while. We'll provide you with supplies so we can also benefit from your great merit in saving the world."

The offer was too generous, and after thinking for Shan Heyuan declined, saying, "We haven't done anything special, we feel unworthy of it."

Lord Yunping said earnestly, "How could we not have done it? Three thousand years ago, our predecessors attempted to save the world, and all who know of it appreciate their efforts. Sect Master Shen was also betrayed by Ji Li because of his efforts to save the world. Although the two of you did not achieve your goal, your previous attempts were still meritorious. Who dares to say that the two of you did nothing?"
