This battle lasted for a full month.
The fight was so fierce that the sky was covered with mist, the sun and moon were dimmed, the sky was shattered, and the earth was silent.
When they saw the shadow of the monstrous demon descending into the world, the cultivators finally learned Chu Ye's true identity.
This was the battle that made Chu Yao famous. Even the mountain that was on the verge of breaking apart among the thousands of Taoist magics was later named "Ghost Immortal Peak".
The name of the Ghost Immortal resounded throughout the Northern Territory.
The Tianyin Sect has another beautiful girl.
——
Bai Yuejian came out of seclusion and successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, filling the gap left by his master's death.
The villains lurking outside the sect stopped their activities, and the restless people in the sect were completely stabilized.
Chu Yao, who heard the letter from afar, finally felt relieved and focused on traveling.
Explore secret realms, visit famous mountains, explore dangerous places, and seek immortality.
From the Northern Territory to the Nanling Mountains, from the Western Desert to the East China Sea, her footsteps have covered every corner of the Fengyuan Continent.
I have experienced the ups and downs of life and witnessed separation and reunion, sorrow and joy.
After going through countless hardships, he was able to turn danger into safety.
This departure lasted for several years.
It has been so long that Tianyin’s old friends have almost forgotten her name, and it has been so long that her senior sister can only rely on the often flickering soul lamp to confirm that she is still alive.
Until one day, at Tianyin Mountain Gate, Bai Yuejian finally met his junior sister who had disappeared for many years.
She was thin and exhausted, but her eyes, which had seen the world, were still as sharp as ever.
Looking at her dearest senior sister, Chu Yao smiled widely:
"Senior Sister, I want to go into seclusion!"
——
This was Chu Yao's longest retreat.
One hundred and thirty-nine years.
On the day of leaving the retreat, the sky and the earth changed dramatically, auspicious clouds came, and phoenixes cried and cranes cried.
The whole family was shocked.
The Tianyin Sect welcomed its fourth Nascent Soul cultivator, and from then on became the strongest sect in the Northern Territory and was at its peak.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
——
Chu Yao finally had a cave of her own.
Although it is called a cave, it actually covers a very large area, including mountains and peaks within a hundred miles. This is naturally the privilege of Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Hey, after all these years of hard work, I can finally enjoy myself!"
Chu Yao used the treasures in her storage bag to build a cave that was as beautiful as a fairyland.
She also released Xiao Ling, who had been with her for a long time, and built a lotus pond in the yard. Looking at the flowers and leaves intertwined and the koi swimming in the pond, she felt indescribably satisfied.
But there is always a vague sense of unease in my heart.
"I seem to have forgotten something very important... What is it?"
Chu Yao felt increasingly strange.
Her figure flashed in the Tianyin Sect. She saw Sect Master Chen Qingyu busy with affairs, inner disciple Yao Han immersed in cultivation, elders Mu Yao and Lu Hua, as well as Gu Yue, Jiang Lu, and Li Dayin...
Countless people, both old acquaintances and new friends, some greeted her, while others did not even notice she had been there.
"What on earth is going on?"
Chu Yao muttered to herself, feeling more and more uneasy.
She decided to go back home and use the Taoist method to divine. When she was rummaging through her storage bag, a torn scroll caught her eye:
"The Secret of Preserving the Spirit".
Chu Yao's head buzzed, and lightning seemed to flash through her soul. She finally remembered her true self and what was about to happen on Fengyuan Star.
But what she did was not to try to figure it out, but to rush to her senior sister's cave in a hurry:
"Senior Sister! Quick, we have to run!"
"Hmm?" Bai Yuejian was still taking care of the spiritual field. Seeing his junior sister hurried over, he frowned.
"What's wrong with you? Did something go wrong in your training?"
"It's not a mistake! The sect is about to be robbed, and everyone will be captured by the warships of Yari Company!" Chu Yao's eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Pfft." Bai Yuejian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Do you hear what nonsense you're talking about? You're a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, so calm down."
"Calm down... That's right, I need to calm down." Chu Yao took a deep breath.
"No, their weapons can cover the entire sect. Even if we want to escape, there's nowhere to run... At this point, we can either flee to outer space, or try to conceal our existence within the sect's secret realm... The safest option is the first! Senior Sister, does the sect have a flying magical instrument capable of traveling across the starry sea? One that can accommodate everyone in the sect!"
"Have you been possessed by a demon?" Bai Yuejian looked at Chu Yao. "A magical instrument that can travel through the sea of stars and can even fit the entire sect's members inside? How dare you dream of that? Isn't Fengyuan Continent enough for you to mess around with? How could such a magical instrument possibly exist? If it did, we would have ascended to immortality long ago!"
Chu Yao's expression froze, and her face changed color instantly:
"No, you are not Senior Sister!"
The two of them have been together for a long time, there is no way my senior sister would talk to me like this!
If she were a real senior sister, no matter how ridiculous Chu Yao's words were, she would consider them carefully instead of joking about them.
"What are you talking about? If I'm not your senior sister, who am I?" Bai Yuejian was about to speak when the two of them changed their expressions again.
Chu Yao felt that familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of restricted consciousness and slowed spiritual power.
She immediately looked up toward the sky.
Above the clouds, a huge black shadow was looming in the sky.
Next, the scene that had happened before was repeated.
The fall of the warship was like a calamity from heaven. All Taoist magic weapons were completely useless, the disciples were displaced, and the sect fell apart.
Chu Yao stood on the peak, looking at the huge monster, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart asking herself:
If this century-long struggle is destined to be in vain;
If the relatives and friends who are treated as if they were their own children will eventually separate;
If you spend half your life practicing Taoism but end up having to start over;
If you had known that there would be such a disaster in your life,
Would you still kowtow to the old Taoist priest in the restaurant back then?
Chu Yao closed her eyes.
At this moment, she finally understood what this test of the heart was about.
All the past experiences came back to my mind again.
Leaving home for the city, becoming a disciple in a restaurant, encountering an evil cultivator on the road, and becoming a fugitive...
Entering the Northern Territory, fighting against the numerous cultivators, entering the Heavenly Yin, inheriting the master's bowl...
Experience the beast tide, refine the purple brilliance, shock the villains, and form the Nascent Soul...
It’s a difficult journey, and we have to walk it again.
Deep down she knew it was just a test, but she still made the same choice again and again.
Just because her name is Chu Yao.
Half a lifetime has passed, and I am still myself.
Chu Yao opened her eyes.
She looked up at the huge man-made creature, her eyes clear and bright.
"Cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven."
In the endless raging wind, Chu Yao muttered to herself.
"Even if fate has me doomed to suffer such a disaster, I will still leave."
"This is my life, Chu Yao."
Facing the golden light that was as unstoppable as a bamboo, Chu Yao opened his arms without fear and showed a determined smile.
“Never regret it!”
Everything suddenly turned into mist, like a dream bubble, and disappeared without any regrets.
When everything settled down, I could hear the sound of waves, fish swimming in the water under my feet, and birds circling above my head.
She has returned to the door of the first level.
