As expected, she wasn't there, so the fight never even started.

Although the ancestors were dissatisfied with the group led by Venerable Xian'en and sided with Zhenru, they realized that not all of them were ruthless and did nothing to these easily crushed juniors.

Of course, that doesn't mean they'll just be let off the hook. At the very least, they'll be secretly imprisoned and questioned from time to time.

But everyone knew in their hearts that this was only the beginning.

If they can't get any information out of them after a long time, and the ancestors don't believe what they say, then they'll probably have to resort to other methods.

So, while they were still in prison and their thoughts were not yet fully formed, and while they were still searching for Zhenru, Wuchen used telepathy to tell everyone what Zhenru had told them.

As soon as Wuchen spoke, everyone was shocked. Fearing to attract the attention of the ancestor, they could only remain inwardly shocked, but their eyes as they looked at Wuchen revealed their eagerness.

“If it is true that Fellow Daoist has a mustard seed space, it has evolved into a small world through her many years of efforts. As long as everyone agrees, she will find a way to merge her mustard seed space with the Sun Realm.”

"Everyone, there's no need to rush to agree. You can think it over first: whether you choose to perish along with the Sun Realm, or accept Fellow Daoist Zhenru's proposal."

"The ancestors are impatient; they should start searching the soul in a few days."

Wuchen said there was no rush and told them to think it over carefully, but he didn't actually offer any options. In the process of speaking, he emphasized that it was Zhenru's mustard seed space, a small world that Zhenru had worked hard to cultivate for many years.

Wuchen only sent this message telepathically to a small number of people who were truly close to Zhenru.

As for the others, Wuchen felt there was no need to talk about them, firstly because those people had no choice in the first place, and secondly because they made no contribution or help in this matter.

Even now, those who are on Zhenru's side and have a close relationship with her are still hesitant after hearing the news.

This hesitation is normal, and Wuchen believes it is also appropriate.

For a cultivator, knowing that they might be controlled is something that is extremely difficult to accept and imagine, regardless of who is the one being controlled.

Wuchen lowered his eyelashes; his words were tinged with self-interest.

When Zhenru spoke to him, he emphasized the consequences of the fusion of the Golden Crow Space and the Sun Realm. He also stressed Zhenru's sacrifices and that everyone had no choice.

In fact, they didn't have a choice at all.

Even after Wuchen said that, no one spoke for a long time.

Wuchen looked around and thought that even if he knew there was no choice, he would probably need a lot of time to consider such a matter, so he prepared to close his eyes and meditate.

"Hey, with our relationship, how could I not trust Zhenru? Even if everything is under her control, she can't possibly enslave me, right? Fellow Daoist Wuchen, just tell me, how can I help?"

Before Wuchen could close his eyes, Feng Piaopiao's loud and carefree voice suddenly rang out, carrying his usual nonchalant and carefree manner.

Looking at the other person's happy expression, it seemed as if this was just a trivial matter of going to a tavern to eat.

But Wu Chen knew that he wasn't really careless and hadn't deliberately not used telepathy; he was just setting an example for others.

Sure enough, just as Wuchen had thought he would have to wait a few more days, Mingxin spoke up shortly after Feng Piaopiao finished speaking.

She's always been carefree, and with the wind blowing in front of her, she didn't forget to smile after speaking:

"Anyway, we still want to ascend, and this is the only path for us. We are all exceptionally talented, one in ten thousand. We can't just turn down a path to survival and choose to seek our own death!"

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the others softened.

If the Sun Realm is not repaired, then once the ancestors have divided up the Earth's core power, even if they are stranded in other realms, they will lose their chance to ascend.

The restoration of the Sun Realm is nothing more than living within the realm that Zhenru could control before ascension. In other words, aren't they now living under the control of the Heavenly Dao of various realms?

"If they merge, after ascension..."

Wuchen knew what everyone was worried about. He didn't say anything proactively because he was waiting for someone to ask. If someone asked, it meant that they were wavering.

"The binding relationship naturally only exists before ascension. After ascension, unless one harms Fellow Daoist Zhenru's life without cause, the two are naturally unrelated."

Originally swayed by Feng Piaopiao and Mingxin, after Wuchen finished speaking, everyone basically made their decision, except for a small knot in their hearts.

It's just before ascension, and given their consistent character, they feel it's worth taking a gamble.

...

The consensus was reached faster than expected.

She had barely explained her purpose to the Qingxuan Dao Sect when she felt a burning sensation between her brows, and knew that it was Wuchen's response.

“As Fellow Daoist’s request is nothing, it’s just that the Sun Realm is closed to the outside world, and not everyone can come and go as freely as you do.”

This time, the one receiving Zhenru was the patriarch of the Qingxuan Dao Sect, while the Qingxuan Sect Master could only stand aside and listen.

If she received a positive answer, she became even more confident in her speech. She smiled calmly and flicked her wrist towards the open space in the hall.

"Come out, Xiao Jiao."

As soon as Zhenru finished speaking, a playful laugh rang out, and then a fiery red dragon shot out from Zhenru's sleeve, landing as a girl in red.

The girl in red glanced haughtily at the people from the Qingxuan Dao Sect, then snuggled up to Zhenru, shaking her arm and saying in a clingy manner:

"Zhenru~ When are you going to start working? You promised to play with me after you finished, are you lying to me again?"

Zhenru patted her head and smiled:

"After I finish my work, I'll not only play with you, but I'll also see your mother. I'm not lying to you. But you'd better sit still and not make a fuss."

Upon hearing that she could see her mother, and thinking about how her mother could witness her transformation so early, Xiao Jiao's ruby-like eyes instantly sparkled. She immediately sat obediently beside Zhenru, staring intently at her.

Zhenru then looked at the people from the Qingxuan Dao Sect, pointed to Xiaojiao, and introduced her to them:

"It's just entering the Sun Realm, that's not a problem."

"If you trust me, I can use my spatial ability to send you there. If you would like to enjoy the scenery along the way, Xiao Jiao can take you there."

The problem was solved, and the patriarch of the Qingxuan Dao Sect said directly:

"I haven't seen the scenery of the void before I was teleported between realms, so I'll have to trouble this fellow dragon."

The patriarch of the Qingxuan Dao Sect appeared calm, but was actually quite shocked inside.

Even knowing that Zhenru was no ordinary person and might be a descendant of the gods, it was still quite frightening to see her casually pull out a dragon from the upper realm.

This, of course, further solidified their confidence.

After agreeing, the patriarch of the Qingxuan Dao Sect immediately sent a message to the others, asking them to come and assemble.

Seeing that she had finished speaking and the other party hadn't said anything else, Zhenru simply took the initiative to ask:

"Since it's a collaboration, it can't just be the Solid Spirit Realm helping the Sunrise Realm. What can I do to help with the things that Sect Master Qingxuan mentioned earlier?"
