Yan Qingran took Mo Wuyu directly back to Yunyao Immortal Palace.
Ruoruo the cat curiously peeked out, looking at the palace built on the mountaintop, and quietly chatted with Yan Qingran via telepathy.
"Mom, why are you both a witch and a disciple of Yunyao Immortal Palace? Have you been here before?"
"Why would you come to such a small place?" Yan Qingran said matter-of-factly. "It's just a demon's trick, a soul-binding technique. We're temporarily using this little girl's body to help you."
"Huh?" Ruoruo Cat's eyes widened suddenly: "Then Mother, you don't even have an identity from this life. If you get involved like this and take Big Brother away, won't that interfere with his tribulation?"
Yan Qingran silently rolled her eyes: "His tribulation has long been a mess. The news that just came out from the Immortal Realm is that his Book of Fate has spontaneously combusted."
It is said that even when the God of Fate and the Star Lord of Destiny joined forces and used the power of the Wheel of Fortune to suppress the Book of Fate, they still could not do so.
The book of destiny became completely blank, then it would be stained with ink, revealing a few characters, before quickly disappearing again. After repeating this several times, the pages flew wildly in the air, and then spontaneously combusted right in front of them.
Yan Qingran thought about it carefully: "It happened about two hours ago."
Ruo Ruo Mao suddenly felt extremely guilty.
Two hours ago, she had just been searching for treasures in the Spirit Realm with her brother.
So, was her interference disrupting the eldest brother's tribulation?
Ruoruo Cat was a little anxious: "What should we do? If Big Brother fails the tribulation, his soul will be scattered."
"Who says that you will fail if you lose your destiny book?" Yan Qingran said nonchalantly. "The essence of tribulation is nothing more than leaving your original body and entering the world as a soul to start over. You can either achieve perfect merit and return to your original position after death, like your father, or you can overcome numerous tribulations and rejoin the ranks of immortals."
The reason why others cannot interfere is simply because they are worried that people from the upper realms will directly infuse their bodies with spiritual energy, forcibly elevating them to the state of ascension, bypassing the process of tribulation, and leaving them with only an empty shell without any tempering of body and mind or merit.
Indeed, one will face the difficulty of having their soul scattered during ascension.
Yan Qingran thought for a long time and felt that anyone chosen by destiny would always have a benefactor to help them. Why couldn't they step in and take the place of that benefactor?
Ruoruo the cat was confused, only understanding one thing: "Then can I reunite with my brother who has turned back into human form?"
Yan Qingran looked at the fluffy, soft kitten and felt a little reluctant to part with it: "Look, I don't even dare to get close to it in my true form. I can only control this girl's physical body. You'd better stay by its side as a celestial beast. It would be better to have a worldly identity."
Ruoruo let out a disappointed "oh," and her ears and tail drooped down.
It seems I'll have to stay in beast form for a while longer and won't be able to talk to my brother for long.
Mo Wuyu did not discover the mother and daughter's private conversation.
He subtly observed his surroundings as he walked in.
Senior Brother Li whispered to him, “One of the quotas for our Li family to pass through the Heavenly Curtain comes from Yunyao Immortal Palace. Elder Suwen of Yunyao Immortal Palace is my great-aunt, and we have always been close. Unfortunately, she is a member of Yunyao Immortal Palace after all, and she will not be in Qingling Sect when she goes to the Upper Realm, so she will not be of any help to the Li clan.”
The Qingling Sect is the main sect of the Five Spirits Immortal Sect he mentioned, the number one sect in the Upper Realm, and also one of the affiliated sects of the Danhui Qingmeng.
This is also the sect that Mo Wuyu is about to join, where he will gain a foothold and a voice.
Senior Brother Li explained the connection between the two sides before saying, "The reason I came to Yunyao Immortal Palace this time is to retrieve the Heavenly Curtain Pass Token from Elder Suwen."
One Sky Curtain Pass is one spot, and the spot he promised to Mo Wuyu was this token.
The Sky Curtain Pass is an extremely important resource. Although Senior Brother Li is the eldest son of his family, he has no opportunity to mobilize such a resource.
His desire to use Mo Wuyu to make their branch famous at the sect conference suggests that their branch is likely experiencing a severe generational gap, which is why they are targeting outsiders.
Since Senior Brother Li was able to find him, he must have had other disciples who sought out other people.
It's impossible for the Li family to prepare a Sky Curtain Pass for everyone.
Therefore, the eldest sons could only focus on those who already had access passes, befriend them, and exchange resources for promises.
Because Senior Brother Li had a doting aunt, he didn't have to limit his search to people who already had a pass, which is how he found the exceptionally talented Mo Wuyu.
Mo Wuyu had already calculated most of these things when Li made the request, so he wasn't surprised at all when he heard what Senior Brother Li said.
Ruoruo was chatting with her mother in her heart, listening carefully to what Senior Brother Li was saying, and looked up at the sky, which was the barrier between realms.
Beyond the celestial barrier, demons roam freely. This realm has long been theirs, and anyone who breaks through the celestial barrier will become their food.
Senior Brother Li and the others seemed completely unaware, assuming that the demons crawling out of the broken cracks within the realm were all there were.
"Don't worry about things outside the borders," Yan Qingran said slowly. "I'll find a chance to clean it up later."
They're just minor demons, with only two or three demon generals in charge; they're not difficult to deal with.
Those demon generals are all from the Lin family lineage, and now they are all under the command of Zi Manqing. Eliminating them can be considered as cutting off some of Zi Manqing's henchmen.
She hesitated to act because she feared that if she acted too soon, the great demon would be attracted before they even left, which would be troublesome.
Once Ruoruo Cat felt relieved, she skillfully took a delicious fruit from Mo Wuyu's storage bag and ate it as a snack.
Senior Brother Li stared blankly, another top-grade spiritual fruit.
His business partner clearly lacked powerful backing and resources, yet he was incredibly devoted to the kitten.
Yan Qingran led them directly into her courtyard: "You can stay in Lingxiang Pavilion next door and focus on your cultivation. The Five Spirits Immortal Sect can't come here to snatch Ruoruo."
Mo Wuyu shook his head: "This is in your courtyard; it's improper for a lone man and woman to be alone here."
Little did he know that the person in front of him was actually his mother, who was worried that his presence here would damage her daughter's reputation.
Yan Qingran chuckled: "You old fogey, Li Jun'an can live with you. It's not like we're a lone man and woman, is it? My fellow disciples often come to ask questions and stay for a few days. It's normal for you to worry about things like this."
Mo Wuyu finally agreed. Li Jun'an opened his mouth, but no one asked for his opinion.
Yan Qingran has a domineering personality and makes decisions on her own once she has arranged them. Li Junan, being a guest under her roof, has no choice but to go along with her.
After arranging accommodations, Li Jun'an said, "Young Palace Master, I'm going to take Junior Brother Yu to visit Elder Suwen. Would you like to come along?"
Yan Qingran turned her gaze to Ruoruo and said, "You guys go ahead, I won't go. I'll take Ruoruo to find some fun toys."
Mo Wuyu suddenly felt less inclined to visit that elder.
But Ruoruo the cat had already reached out its claws at Yan Qingran, so Mo Wuyu could only reluctantly hand Ruoruo over with a tense expression.
It evokes a sense of desolation, like a cat growing up and being unable to control its own destiny.
