The heavenly tribulation is constantly baptizing everyone, greatly enhancing their physical bodies and souls.
Ji Yun's physical body shattered, and he began to rebuild it.
The Five Elements Gathering and the formation began to take effect, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation continuously fell on the reshaped body. Slowly, the physical body took shape, and the soul began to transform, turning into a round cocoon.
The heavenly tribulation ceased, and six beams of light emanated from the enormous vortex above them.
Everyone noticed that Ji Yun had changed. His familiar, aged appearance had become extremely young, with long hair hanging down.
Soon, the guiding light led them to the heavens.
The Celestial Realm, the Eastern Spirit Continent.
They appeared in a dense forest. The group looked around at their surroundings. Being in an unfamiliar place made them both excited and nervous.
Everyone looked at Ji Yun, surrounding him and scrutinizing him.
"This is my true self. Do you have any questions?" Ji Yun looked at the group of curious children.
Xunmeng'er exclaimed in surprise, "Master, is this what you looked like when you were young? You don't look like me at all!"
"I am not Ye Feng, my name is Ji Yun. Your master, Ye Feng, died long ago..."
Ji Yun slowly told them what had happened. He had originally planned to tell them in the lower realm, but after thinking about it, he decided not to cause any unnecessary trouble and would tell them after he ascended to heaven.
The expressions on the faces of the group varied, but Qiu Yan remained focused on the man before her.
After a while, once the others had accepted his new identity, he said, "From now on, you can address each other as fellow Daoists. You are no longer bound by my rules."
"But...we're still used to you preaching to us. Why don't you continue to be our master, and we can continue as before? What do you say, fellow disciples?"
All their previous doubts resurfaced. They thought their master had become a different person, that he had started to treat them better, and that he was even generous in giving them guidance on cultivation.
Only then did they realize that this person was not their master.
Or sing a song and bow: "Without Master, I would not be where I am today. No matter what, you will always be our Master."
Dong Yisi and A Niu also bowed.
At that moment, a loud noise came from afar, and the huge explosion alerted the group.
A little girl skipped and kicked a puppet away.
"You think you can catch me? You little punks."
When she turned her head, she saw Ji Yun and the others staring at her.
She greeted him with a smile, "Hi, little sister, what are you doing here all alone?"
"What are you doing here?" the little girl asked curiously.
“We…” Ji Yun prepared to walk over and learn about the situation in the Heavenly Realm.
Suddenly, a furious shout came from afar: "Stop! Don't touch our young master!"
The little girl immediately ran behind Ji Yun in a panic, anxiously saying, "Take me away quickly! They are bad guys who came to capture me. I have a lot of immortal stones on me. If you save me, I will give them all to you."
The little girl finished speaking quickly in one breath, and then the two landed in front of them.
Ji Yun examined the old man and the burly man and found that both were at the peak of the Integration Stage.
The old man clasped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, this is my young master. Please step aside so we can take him back."
"Save me, please save me! I'm not their young master, they're bad people, they're trying to capture me! Waaah, big brother/sister, please save me..." the little girl cried out.
The two cultivators, their spiritual energy surging, were about to seize the person.
Ji Yun's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed the girl by the neck and said in a deep voice, "Don't move, or I'll strangle her."
The little girl obediently allowed herself to be choked.
The old man angrily said, "Do you know what you're doing? This is the Holy King's daughter. How dare you act like this? Who gave you the audacity?"
Ji Yun ignored him and calmly said, "I don't care. Now step back, or else..."
The little girl's face immediately turned red, looking as if she was about to be strangled.
"No, let's retreat..."
The elderly man and another man slowly stepped back a few paces.
“If you dare to attack us, I will immediately…” Ji Yun hadn’t finished speaking when the little girl whispered to help him finish.
"Strangle her!"
"Strangle her!" Ji Yun said fiercely. Seeing the old man with his hands behind his back, he quickly said, "Don't call for help. Stop what you're doing, or I'll..."
"Drain her soul!"
"Strip her..." Ji Yun was stunned, looking down at the little girl. How could she be so ruthless to herself? Then he grinned and said, "Strip her soul!"
"No, fellow Daoists, let's talk this out. Please don't harm our young master," the old man hurriedly tried to calm him down, his heart filled with anxiety.
Qiu Yan and her disciples were all a bit confused, not knowing what was going on.
Ji Yun said, "You all stay where you are and don't move. We'll leave first, and release her when we're far away."
"No, let them go before you leave." The old man was unwilling to let them go.
The little girl said disdainfully, "Go ahead and be ruthless. Is this your first time kidnapping someone?"
Ji Yun said fiercely, "Don't test my patience."
The group then slowly retreated, continuing to fly wildly.
The little girl exclaimed excitedly, "Fly that way! There's a city over there!"
The group then headed in the direction the little girl had indicated.
Ji Yun looked at the little girl and said, "Well, I helped you, so shouldn't you help me too?"
The little girl took out a bracelet and handed it to him: "Here, there are 10,000 immortal stones in this. Consider it a reward."
Ji Yun accepted the bracelet, then shook her head and said, "No, you have to answer a few questions for me."
"Oh, let's talk about the problem later, let's go have some fun first."
The little girl was about to rush into the city when Ji Yun grabbed her arm.
......
After answering Ji Yun's question, the little girl realized, "You didn't ascend from the lower realm, did you?"
"No." Ji Yun shook his head and walked into the city.
"You can't fool me. With such high cultivation levels, you still don't understand anything. What else could you be but someone who just ascended to heaven?"
The group glanced at the little girl and realized she wasn't as stupid as she seemed; she was actually quite shrewd.
I bought a map, some local chronicles, some historical records, and some monster drawings.
After the group walked out of the shop, Qiu Yan asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Find a place to stay."
Settle down first, get to know this world slowly, and then make plans.
"I know a place where the caves are full of spiritual energy and it's a lot of fun."
The little girl led them to the mountain and water cave.
After the group went inside...
At this moment, an old man hurriedly came over to greet us, saying with a smile, "There are only a dozen or so high-grade cave dwellings left, the rest are all gone."
