Hu Jiu knew that if he stayed in the inn, he wouldn't be discovered by the Divine Realm, but he didn't want to do that. He would be accompanying An Ge to many places in the future, and it wouldn't be worth doing something that would harm An Ge for a moment's pleasure.
"I understand. When the gate to the divine realm opens, I will go to the divine realm with Elder Jiang."
"Wait, you're not going to terminate the divine servant contract?"
Hu Jiu turned his head, and just as Tiandao thought he was going to ask about how to break the contract, he heard him say, "I forgot to mention, if you want to summon Xiaoge'er again, you'd better tell me in advance, so you don't suddenly call her away." He didn't mention the contract at all.
After Hu Jiu left, the Heavenly Dao chuckled softly. Hundreds of thousands of years had passed since the dawn of consciousness, and this was the first immortal to willingly submit to a contract.
After becoming an immortal, the power of the contract is not as strong as before, but there are still some limitations, such as not being able to attack the chosen ones.
Some chosen ones don't get along so well with their divine servants, and some even voluntarily break their contracts before becoming gods, leaving their servants in smaller planes. However, it's not necessarily a loss for the divine servants, since they gain a lot during their time as divine servants. Even if the path to ascension is cut off, their experience as divine servants will prevent them from facing too many restrictions during their ascension.
However, if a divine servant could get rid of the chosen one in advance when fulfilling their wish, almost no divine servant would not choose this path.
The Heavenly Dao had a good impression of An Ge and naturally hoped that she would have such a loyal person by her side. Don't underestimate the Heavenly Dao just because it's just the Heavenly Dao. Once the Chosen Ones become gods, it will be a case of having a god in the divine realm making things easier. At least if any problems arise in this dimension, there will be someone to complain to.
Everyone stared blankly at Hu Jiu, who had suddenly disappeared and then reappeared, for a long time. It was Jiang Shang who reacted first, "You can't go to the Divine Realm either?"
Hu Jiu shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't tried it. However, when Elder Jiang is summoned by the Divine Realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long."
Everyone understood, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber. Feng Cai was the first to speak, "This is actually quite good. You should trust Xiao Ge'er; perhaps she can become a god soon. Besides, it's not a bad thing to go to the God Realm to scout things out beforehand, so that Xiao Ge'er won't be bullied when she arrives there."
Feng Cai's words brightened their eyes. Hu Jiu suddenly felt full of energy again. If he wasn't reluctant to part with An Ge, he would even want to go to the Divine Realm to expand his territory right now. "What Mother said is true. There are enemies of Xiao Ge in the Divine Realm. We need to make some preparations in advance."
Jiang Shang nodded, "That's right, we can't let my disciple be bullied because he doesn't know anything. By the way, besides us, there's my master too. Maybe he's already made a name for himself in the Divine Realm."
Yi Wenbai, on whom Jiang Shang had placed high hopes, stood atop the Tianyan Sect's mountain, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain gate with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
"I've finally returned. I wonder if the younger generation still remembers their ancestor?"
Tao Le looked on with curiosity. This was his first time in a minor plane since becoming a god. "Wow, you used to live here? The spiritual energy is so abundant. I feel like you could have ascended even if you hadn't become my divine servant."
Yi Wenbai was pleasantly surprised. "The spiritual energy in this dimension wasn't this abundant before. It seems I'll have fellow countrymen in the Divine Realm from now on." He looked happy, but didn't take a step.
"Aren't you going to visit the sect?"
"I feel a bit apprehensive about returning home. I've been away from the sect for six or seven thousand years, and my old friends may have long since passed away. Returning to the sect might actually affect the Dao heart of the younger generation. It seems that the Tianyan Sect is developing quite well, so it won't be a problem even if I don't show up."
Before returning to Tianxuan Continent, Yi Wenbai longed to come back and visit every day. Now that his wish has come true, he doesn't know what to do next.
If the Tianyan Sect were bullied by other sects, he would definitely intervene. But it seems peaceful here. What would the Tianyan Sect disciples think if an ascended immortal suddenly appeared? Would they become even more reckless in their pursuit of power, or simply give up without any sense of crisis? What would the other sects think?
Yi Wenbai's mind was in turmoil, and he hesitated for a long time in front of the mountain gate.
A group of disciples dressed in Tianyan Sect robes returned from a mission and saw the two people in front of the mountain gate, their expressions unchanged. Because Jiang Xianjun had returned to Tianyan Sect, many cultivators wanted to catch a glimpse of the immortal's appearance, or to get closer to Tianyan Sect and absorb some of the immortal energy. Every day, many people would stand in front of the mountain gate like this, so they were already used to it.
Just as they were about to leave, the disciple leading the group suddenly remembered something, turned around immediately, and carefully examined Yi Wenbai.
Yi Wenbai looked at his disciple who had returned, his eyes filled with affection for the younger generation. He hadn't interacted with young disciples for nearly ten thousand years, and coupled with the excitement of just returning to the Tianxuan Continent, he found this disciple, whose talent wasn't particularly outstanding, extremely pleasing to the eye.
His strength was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, but he had reached the realm of returning to simplicity, appearing no different from an ordinary person. Just as he was wondering how the Tianyan Sect disciple would act if he were an ordinary person, he heard a scream from the other side.
"It's Ancestor Yi! Ancestor Yi is back!" Several disciples shouted excitedly as they ran back to the sect, leaving Yi Wenbai and Tao Le looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Do gods still give advance notice of their descent these days?"
Yi Wenbai shook his head. He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. "How did they know who I am?"
Tao Le also realized something was wrong and said seriously, "It seems something must have happened at Tianyan Sect. Let's go check it out quickly."
Just as the two were about to enter the sect, they saw a large group of people approaching. The leader looked somewhat familiar, but Yi Wenbai recognized him only when he got closer. It seemed that the leader was Xun Kuang, a junior disciple of his senior brother.
Upon seeing Yi Wenbai, Xun Kuang was so excited that he immediately led his disciples to pay their respects, saying, "Disciple Xun Kuang, along with all the disciples of the Tianyan Sect, pays respects to Ancestor Yi."
Yi Wenbai was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to let everyone stand up. How to put it? It was as if he wanted to give everyone a surprise or to shock them, but the news was leaked in advance, and he was the one who was surprised.
To be honest, this feeling is a bit unpleasant.
"You are Xiao Xunzi?" In his distant memory, he seemed to recall that this Xiao Xunzi was nearly a hundred years old when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his talent was not exactly top-notch. But now, he appeared to have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, which made him look at him with new respect.
Xun Kuang nodded excitedly, "It's me, Uncle-Master."
He cultivated with all his might, almost outliving everyone else, never expecting to meet the brilliant and talented Uncle Yi one day. He had some interaction with Uncle Yi because of his junior brother, and in his eyes, Uncle Yi was his elder.
Having been someone's elder for so long, this was the first time Xun Kuang had discovered that he had someone protecting him, which moved him deeply.
"Uncle-Master, please come in. I have already made arrangements for you. This must be Lord Deity. Welcome to the Heavenly Evolution Sect."
Yi Wenbai and Tao Le exchanged a glance, seeing confusion in each other's eyes. The Tianyan Sect seemed even more strange now.
