"Why don't you let Yu'er and that boy Song Weiyan go with you? They've recently formed their cores, so it'll be good for them to look after you," Wuwei Daoist suggested.

Su Xiyu and Song Weiyan were no ordinary people to become the personal disciples of Immortal Lord Changli.

In addition, since they were already quite accomplished in cultivation, their cultivation was incredibly smooth.

In such a short time, he reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Shen Sanruo speculated that her four senior brothers and sisters were at least Nascent Soul stage cultivators before the great change.

She shook her head and refused Wuwei Daoren's suggestion, saying, "Senior brothers and sisters, please stay in Ninghua Sect."

The Taoist Master Wuwei looked puzzled.

She added, "The grand competition among sects in the cultivation world will be held soon, which will be the best opportunity for the Ninghua Sect to reappear in the world."

The sect competition is held once every ten years, with the young masters of each sect leading their teams to participate. It also serves as the basis for ranking sects in the cultivation world.

The Flying Cloud Sect has won first place in the sect competition several times in a row.

Upon hearing Shen Sangruo's words, Wuwei Daoren immediately understood and was somewhat surprised that she was already considering the matter of Ninghua Sect's reappearance.

"You've thought this through perfectly. Your senior brothers and sisters can stay in the sect to cultivate and prepare for the upcoming sect competition!"

The Daoist Wuwei's voice was excited, and his eyes shone with light. As the sect leader of Ninghua Sect, he had longed to restore Ninghua Sect to its former glory, knowing how long it had been in decline.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?

With Immortal Lord Changli in seclusion, he will surely strictly supervise the cultivation of these people!

The more Wuwei Daoist looked at Chen Sangruo, the more he admired him. Ninghua Sect had truly struck gold!

"You must be careful on this trip. We'll handle the sect competition." Ye Huai's voice was as usual, but it gave people a sense of reassurance.

"Okay," she replied with a smile.

On that day, Shen Sangruo left Ninghua Sect and set off for Huanmiao Domain.

She planned to first go to Wuqing Village, where the old shaman was already identified, and then go to search for the uncertain Ten Thousand Year Transformation Wood.

Having been there before and with a clear purpose, she hardly lingered along the way, and a few days later, she arrived at the edge of the Illusory Realm.

However, the Illusory Domain covers the entire southwest, and its area is extremely vast. Even now, it is still a long distance from Wuqing Village.

Stepping into the dense forest, one is surrounded by countless dangers; the real journey has only just begun.

The surrounding environment was gradually covered by forest. The deeper you went, the taller the trees became, and the sky was also blocked by layers of leaves, with only a few specks of light shining through.

Shen Sangru remained vigilant at all times, holding a feather fan in one hand and a map in the other.

Following the route marked on the map steadily, she traveled for two days. Apart from encountering a few monsters blocking her way, which she eliminated, the journey was relatively smooth.

Among those demonic beasts, there was a small demonic beast with a strength of about the early stage of Foundation Establishment whose aura made her feel that it was somewhat strange and eerie.

She thought it was caused by the miasma in the forest affecting the little monster.

With renewed vigilance, and estimating that there were still about five days' journey ahead, Chen Sanruo quickened her pace.

When we reached a flat area, the view suddenly opened up and became bright.

Not only are there few trees here, but many of them have been broken in half, as if some large monster has ravaged the area.

Shen Sanruo frowned, twitched her nose, and made no attempt to take a detour.

Based on these traces, it can be roughly deduced that the monster's strength was at the late Golden Core stage, or it had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Throughout her cultivation journey, she has never experienced a true battle, not to mention the utterly crushing defeat she suffered against Bai Mumu.

Real-world practice is also the best way to improve your skills.

If she were to encounter that monster on her journey, it would undoubtedly be the best training partner for her.

She walked forward cautiously, her mind fully focused.

After walking about 100 meters, I suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

Is it that monster?

Almost immediately, Shen Sangruo overturned this idea.

The footsteps were very light; even a massive monster could not make such a light sound, no matter how slow it slowed down.

She was more inclined to believe that it might be a person, a cultivator who had entered the Illusory Realm for training.

The other person's aura was unfamiliar; they were not someone she knew.

The man was acting suspiciously, approaching her, but he showed no hostility.

Shen Sanruo raised an eyebrow. Since the other party's strength was inferior to hers, she decided to hold back for the time being and see what he wanted to do.

She continued walking forward, her divine sense monitoring the unfamiliar aura.

The aura that had been behind her had crept stealthily to her front and now stopped on the path she was destined to take.

They wanted to ambush her?

The man hid behind a broken log, rubbing his hands excitedly, waiting for her to come over!

However, Shen Sanruo's lips twitched slightly, and her outstretched foot temporarily changed direction, turning to the right and directly altering her route.

The man waited for a long time but did not see Chen Sangruo pass by. He was surprised and peeked out, only to find that Chen Sangruo had already walked past him and was some distance away.

The man cursed under his breath, then hurriedly chased after her, hiding in the next place Shen Sangruo was bound to pass.

However, Shen Sanruo once again changed course without making a sound, her face full of malice.

She wanted to see how long that person could endure.

After Shen Sanruo dodged several of these ambushes in succession, the man finally couldn't contain himself any longer.

"Why aren't we going this way again? No wonder they always say women are fickle." The man gritted his teeth.

Shen Sanruo clearly felt the temperature rise where the aura was located. She curled the corners of her mouth, but quickly suppressed it.

It will be soon.

After she changed her path once again, the man finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Fine, I'll go all out!" He was going to take the initiative!

The next moment, a dark shadow suddenly darted out and fell right in front of her.

"Oh dear, Zi, I've fallen down~" The voice was extremely affected and pretentious.

He was a man dressed in a loose blue robe, with a youthful face and exceptionally beautiful, captivating eyes.

Well, if he were to wink and flirt with Shen Sangri right now, it would be rather bizarre and cringe-worthy.

Even his collar was meticulously designed, revealing his beautiful collarbone as he fell.

Shen Sangruo: ...

She never imagined that the person she had provoked with her schemes would be such a "seductive and shameless woman".

He immediately lost interest and turned to walk past the man and leave.

Fang Yu immediately panicked. Why was the seductive technique his master had taught him not working?

She repeated herself again: "Someone fell down~ Is there any kind, pretty lady who can help them up~"

Shen Sangruo walked even faster.

Song Weiyan often read storybooks and had told her long ago not to pick up anything from men on the street.

She met Fang Yu today and expressed even greater agreement.

Seeing her leave without looking back, Fang Yu didn't pretend to have fallen. He quickly got up and chased after her, speaking in a high-pitched voice:

"Zi Tsk! Zi Tsk! Don't go! Look at me!"
