How are my friends?

Zhenru, unaware of what was going on, sent messages to her other companions as soon as she arrived in the Sun Realm. Before she could receive a reply, she was greeted by the Qingxuan Sect Master.

The Qingxuan Sect Master's round face was full of anxiety. He waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about your friends, they're all fine. Worry about the Sunrise Realm instead."

The Sun Realm is isolated from the outside world, and under normal circumstances, no one can pass on messages. Upon hearing the words of the Qingxuan Sect Master, Zhenru felt a jolt in her heart, and her memory subconsciously returned to the day she killed Liu Yunzhao.

Could it be that remnant soul causing trouble?

She was quite certain that the remnant soul's consciousness had been completely burned away by her, and that not a single message could be sent back.

It was because of this that Zhenru tried every means to trick Liu Yunzhao's soul into the Golden Crow Space to be killed.

Could the person behind the remnant soul really be so powerful that they can even see through the Golden Crow Space?

Intuition told Zhenru she couldn't, but she was still a little nervous and couldn't help but press for an answer:

"What happened in the Sunrise Realm?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to tell you."

It wasn't time to keep people in suspense. After finishing his sentence, the Qingxuan Sect Master waved his sleeve towards one of the walls of the Sect Master's Hall. The wall rippled and then revealed a scene of the entire Three Thousand Lower Realms.

I've seen maps of the three thousand realms, but I've never seen such a detailed and realistic 3D map.

With just one glance, she scanned the gray areas on the map and precisely located the Sun Realm, which lay between being completely gray and still having some life.

"What happened in the Sunrise Realm? How did it get so serious?"

Although she had never met Zhenru before, perhaps because of her past interactions with the Mother Tree, she could easily sense that something was excessively wrong with the Sun Realm.

The Qingxuan Sect Master didn't think much of it when Zhenru immediately noticed something was wrong.

He assumed that Zhenru's first time seeing the entire Three Thousand Realms was in comparison to other realms, so he didn't ask any further questions and went straight to talking about what had happened a few days ago.

"About a month ago, something happened in the entire Three Thousand Lower Realms. Many realms were devastated, including the Sun Realm."

"Actually, the Ancestor has some suspicions, but I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhenru has any thoughts on this?"

After all, this concerns the realm of the Sun.

If one could guess, this unspoken, unfinished sentence...

The other party's ancestor didn't just have a guess; he clearly knew what it was about, but he didn't want to say it directly, so he wanted her to speak for herself.

Zhenru readily accepted this advice, turned around, bowed respectfully to the Qingxuan Sect Master, and sincerely asked:

"I have been traveling around various realms these days, and I am not aware of what has happened in the Sun Realm. I would be grateful if the sect master would be so kind as to inform me."

Having achieved the desired outcome for both parties, the Qingxuan Sect Master didn't keep them in suspense and used tactful language:

"Although the Ancestor was also guessing, the news from the Solid Spirit Realm is more reliable. There were faint rumors that there was turmoil in the upper realm."

If there is turmoil in the upper realm, the immortals of the upper realm will surely intervene. However, after listening to what the Qingxuan Sect Master said, Zhenru felt that there was more to his words than met the eye.

"So... what's in that void? The senior ancestors from the upper realm... are they not easy to control?"

The Qingxuan Sect Master did not answer this question, but gave Zhenru a meaningful look, which also showed his appreciation for Zhenru's keen insight.

That's correct.

Therefore, the calamity of the Sun Realm indeed originated from the Upper Realm, and specifically from the void of the Upper Realm, a place that others could not conveniently interfere with.

After gathering all the relevant information in her mind, Zhenru pondered for a moment and then continued to discuss serious matters with the Qingxuan Sect Master.

"So what's the situation inside the Sun Realm right now? Does the Sect Master have any news?"

"This is precisely why the Ancestor asked me to use the Interdimensional Communication Talisman."

After saying this, the Qingxuan Sect Master stared at Zhenru for a long time, seemingly hesitant or considering something, before finally taking out a spherical instrument of unknown origin.

"What the ancestor means is that if you still want to save the Sun Realm, you may need to find a way to go back and support it."

"If the Sun Realm is insignificant, or if there is a substitute, there is no need to rush."

"The situation seems to have stabilized for now, so there's no rush. If Fellow Daoist Zhenru needs to return, the Ancestor will help."

These words were spoken with genuine concern for Zhenru, but they also contained a real test.

Zhenru didn't know what they were trying to test, but she was certain that she couldn't let them figure out her hand.

"Thank you, Sect Master, and thank you, Qingxuan Dao Sect, for your care and help to the Sun Realm. As for whether or not to go back, I think I should discuss it with my friends."

The Qingxuan Sect Master did not show any disappointment. After watching Zhenru leave the Sect Master's Hall, he stood there for a while before turning around and going to the secret place of the Qingxuan Dao Sect.

If what she just said is true, it's not entirely an excuse; she really needs to discuss it with others.

To be precise, it means telling other people about this.

Compared to others, the connection between the Sun Realm and Zhenru is actually the smallest.

Aside from a few seniors and friends who had been kind to Zhenru, most of the people in the Sun Realm were those who had made promises to the Mother Tree.

Putting everything else aside, in this situation, the mother tree would definitely be the most severely damaged, so it is certain that it will have to go back.

Birds of a feather flock together.

After everyone had gathered, except for Lei Wuxin who arrived last, everyone else unanimously decided to go back.

You can't go back!

Lei Wuxin ignored everyone else and stood directly in front of Zhenru with a firm attitude.

Zhenru completely ignored him. With her current cultivation level, she simply reached out and gently brushed Lei Wuxin aside.

The small gesture had a huge impact on the group.

"You've reached the Divine Realm?!?"

The others, who were initially dissatisfied with Lei Wuxin's behavior, couldn't care less at this moment.

Lei Wuxin was too shocked to care about himself, and was even more shocked than the others.

Is this the chosen one?

Zhenru didn't explain further, but simply smiled and nodded.

It's not as simple as just advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. If she has a premonition, as long as she finds the Golden Crow's essence blood, she can keep advancing.

She couldn't say this guess, and she wasn't even happy about it.

The more this is the case, the more urgent the situation in the Sunrise District becomes.

If she truly didn't know whether her situation was within the purview of Lei Wuxin's group, she would simply glance at him and assert with certainty:

"Now that I've made up my mind, I'll tell Sect Master Qingxuan right away."

"No need to trouble the Qingxuan Dao Sect, I can take you back."

Zhenru hadn't taken two steps when Lei Wuxin stopped her again. But this time, before anyone else could react, Lei Wuxin said something useful.

The best outcome would be to avoid troubling the Qingxuan Dao Sect.

Although Zhenru and the others felt uncomfortable about Lei Wuxin's small force, the important matter was the priority.

Lei Wuxin didn't care what others thought, and only offered a rare explanation to Zhenru:

"The fewer people who know about the last remaining secrets of the Sunrise Realm, the better."
