As for Yuexi, Ji Yun's arrival time has passed, and she hasn't come yet, which means she can't come.

She was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do.

On the table were Ji Yun's belongings, things left behind after his physical body shattered.

A thought struck her, and she opened his storage bag and took out the mirror.

With a touch of spiritual power, countless messages appeared on the mirror.

They were all messages from strangers: "Please reply if you receive this! You have one day! Otherwise, you'll be killed without mercy when you ascend to the heavens!"

It kept copying thousands of messages.

It's the same sentence every day.

As if grasping at a straw, Yuexi quickly typed, "Yuexi: Just came out of seclusion, didn't see any messages."

She waited for a reply, not wanting to rush. She needed to speak in the same tone as Ji Yun to get the hang of it.

Looking at the outfit in the storage bag, which was the same style as the one in her storage bag, she remembered what Ji Yun had said to her that day.

"That's matching outfits between best friends. When best friends wear the same style of clothes, it means they have a very deep friendship."

"What an idiot! Did he think I was easy to fool? The sign clearly says 'couple outfits,' but he still lied and said they were 'friends' outfits.' He's so stupid."

A smile appeared on Yuexi's lips as she thought about how seriously that guy had lied to her, and she found it amusing.

But his face quickly darkened again. If Ji Yun couldn't come, then he would go find him himself.

In this strange and vast world, you came into my consciousness, met me, and helped me escape my predetermined fate. This is destiny. I will find you, even if it costs me everything.

The thought that one's fate is controlled by someone else's pen, if it weren't for Ji Yun, one would never be able to escape that fate and would always be controlled by others. Would that still be the real self?

She couldn't believe that she had cultivated Taoism to change her fate, only to find that her destiny was being controlled by others.

If it weren't for his arrival, would I have just followed that dog of an author's predetermined path? It's ridiculous to think about it.

Yuexi slapped the spirit-gathering talisman and began to comprehend the sermon from that time; she couldn't waste a single moment now.

An hour later.

A light shone from the mirror, and Yuexi picked it up to take a look.

"Stranger: You finally saw the message! How's your seclusion going? When will you ascend? And do you still remember that joke from last time? Tell me about it! When you arrive in the Heavenly Realm, I'll protect you."

Yuexi thought for a moment and realized that she didn't know how to tell jokes. What should she do?

If it were Ji Yun, how would he reply? After thinking for a while, she slowly wrote it down.

"Yuexi: Are you bored?"

Stranger: Yeah, yeah, it's so boring. The people here are so dull, there's no one to chat with.

"Yuexi: Then I'll chat with you, so we can be good friends?"

Stranger: Yes, we are good friends.

"Yuexi: Can you answer one question for me? Never mind, I don't want to put my good friend in a difficult position, I don't think you can."

Stranger: Haha, you're trying to provoke me, I've seen through you.

Yuexi opened her mouth, somewhat surprised. Had she been found out so quickly? She pondered carefully.

"Yuexi: In that case, I will continue my seclusion."

Stranger: No way! You've only just emerged from seclusion and you're already going into seclusion again? Are you nearing the end of your lifespan?

"Yuexi: Yes, you're not a good friend at all. You won't even answer my questions. Other good friends aren't like this."

Stranger: You tell me, I'll tell you if I know, but you have to tell me a joke.

"Yuexi: Let me tell you a story, a very nice story."

Stranger: Sure, go ahead and ask.

"Yuexi: How can one person travel between two worlds?"

Stranger: This... wait a minute, let me check some ancient texts. Your question is a bit tricky. I suspect you're testing me, not what you really want to ask.

"Yuexi: Go ahead and check. I'm testing you. If you don't know anything, how can you be worthy of being my good friend, Hongjun Laozu?"

"Stranger: I am far superior to you. You are not worthy to be my good friend, you arrogant fool."

"Yuexi: Have you ever been to the outer realms? Do you know where inner demons come from?"

"Stranger: You, a person from the lower realm, actually know about the outer realms. That's remarkable. It's said that the Heavenly Demons come from the outer realms. When someone is undergoing tribulation, they take advantage of the situation to enter. I've heard of many people who have ascended from other worlds, but none of them know what the outer realms are. You're quite good. You're almost worthy of being my good friend."

Yuexi waited for a while before finally receiving a reply from that person.

"Stranger: It is very difficult to travel between the two worlds. According to records, it is only possible after reaching the Mahayana stage and having an extremely powerful soul. In our Heavenly Realm, the Mahayana stage is already equivalent to the existence of a Saint King. Moreover, there must be a node between the two worlds. One needs to use one's soul to connect with that world, set a coordinate point, and then use the power of the soul to guide one to travel between the two worlds."

Wait, you're not thinking of ascending to the Upper Realm without undergoing tribulation, are you? That's impossible. Every world has a boundary membrane. You only gain the world's imprint after undergoing tribulation, and it is through this imprint that you can pass through the boundary membrane and ascend.

Besides, your spiritual power isn't that strong right now, so you should just focus on breaking through to the next level.

Yuexi was somewhat puzzled. There were records, so could someone have traveled through the world? Otherwise, why would he say that?

"Yuexi: Could it be that some people from your area have traveled through the world?"

"Stranger: Our Celestial Realm is originally composed of three worlds. Some people above the Mahayana stage have very strong souls and can travel between them. Don't you understand, you bumpkin?"

"Yuexi: Then why doesn't anyone come to the lower realm? I feel like there's something wrong with your logic."

Stranger: That's ridiculous. It's because the world's will doesn't allow it. You're already so strong, why are you coming to my world? What do you want? Every world has its own will, commonly known as the Heavenly Way. When your strength is greater than the beings of this world, it will reject you. That's why you have to ascend after you break through, because the will of the lower realm can no longer tolerate you.

Yuexi stared at the mirror, trying hard to digest the information the other party brought. This was extremely valuable. There were many things that people in the lower realm did not know. They only knew that breaking through could lead to ascension and increase lifespan.

Wait a minute, she scrolled through the pages a few times, somewhat surprised, and quickly typed something in.

"Yuexi: You said there are many people who have ascended to immortality?"

"Stranger: You don't know, do you? A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. There are many in the lower realm, but only three in the upper realm. Moreover, many of those who ascend from the lower realm are demons, monsters, and many other races. My upper realm is the place where humans ascend. After you ascended, you came to my world. That's why we can communicate. If we were separated by several worlds, our mirrors wouldn't be able to connect. By the way, the principle of travel is the same as the principle of mirrors. This is a treasure crafted by the Holy King."
