Wen Zhixuan was speechless.
He remembered the letter he had just received and lost the will to argue with Jiang Shumiao.
“My father-in-law sent a letter, asking me to send Xu Bai to Youzhou.”
Shen Jiming left his son in the capital for his future. Now that Wen Zhixuan wants to take him to the East China Sea to study under a master, Fang Shi is reluctant to part with him, regardless of whether he can achieve anything.
This letter was probably written under pressure from Fang.
After all, she only has this one child in her entire life.
Jiang Shumiao frowned slightly. "So what are your plans?"
Youzhou is in the north, and they are now heading south.
If we want to send Shen Xubai to Youzhou, we have to go back.
Wen Zhixuan was clearly very troubled by this matter. "In the end, we have to ask Xu Bai for his opinion. At his age, he should be enjoying the company of his parents."
He wouldn't have been willing to send his son to the East China Sea unless he was going to leave sooner or later.
Actually, he hadn't thought this through at first. He should have asked Shen Jiming first, sent Shen Xubai to Youzhou, and then set off south to the East Sea.
Jiang Shumiao had no objection.
"If he agrees, are you planning to deliver it to him personally?"
Well... the journey is quite long.
Wen Zhixuan looked at her.
Jiang Shumiao immediately said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but my sword has a spirit, and he can't get close."
That's the truth.
Even if the carriage were to travel at high speed through the air, it wouldn't work, because the spiritual energy would disperse and could potentially harm ordinary people.
Therefore, all flight occurs above the clouds.
There's no way around it, mortals are too fragile.
She would always create a protective barrier when she killed demons to prevent harm to innocent people.
Otherwise, why can't gods descend to the mortal realm without permission?
Rules exist to provide constraints.
Wen Zhixuan said helplessly, "What I meant was, if Xu Bai wants to return to his parents' side, I would like to trouble the princess to send Yi Cheng to the East Sea on my behalf."
Jiang Shumiao was taken aback.
"That's it? I have no objection, but what if Yi Cheng is reluctant to part with you? And if I run into your ancestor on the way and don't recognize him, wouldn't that be a missed opportunity?"
Wen Zhixuan said calmly, "I have never met my ancestor, and even if I did, I might not recognize him."
Jiang Shumiao: "..."
So all they relied on was that broken compass.
She stopped caring.
"OK."
Shen Xubai hadn't spent much time with his sister and brother-in-law, so he was naturally willing to return to his parents' side. Wen Yicheng was also reluctant to be separated from his father. So the group split into two: Wen Zhixuan took the two children back, while Jiang Shumiao led the three girls south.
Although Lin Tingwan was a mortal, she was protected by Bai Heng's spiritual power and could hide in her Qiankun sleeve.
Well, it means you can fly on a sword.
Lin Tingwan then realized that she had followed a deity, and that the two maids beside the deity were demons.
After Bai Heng, she had no fear of demons.
Fuqu Qianli also showed her kindness and taught her how to circulate her spiritual energy. The three girls got along harmoniously.
Flying on a sword, they arrived at the East Sea in a single day.
Fuqu looked at the barrier and swallowed hard. "If we get too close to this barrier, we'll probably be annihilated."
Asagi remained quite calm.
With a powerful backer, it's easy to enjoy the shade. For their master, slaying ancient demons is just a matter of swinging his sword. A mere barrier is nothing to him.
That's really child's play.
However, Jiang Shumiao did not break the barrier directly. Instead, she used her hand to make a cut, went in, and then quickly closed it up.
The five sect leaders had barely sensed the anomaly before they could even check on it when everything returned to normal in an instant.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Did you all notice anything unusual about the barrier just now?"
"Could it be that a disciple from the sect has returned?"
"That's a defensive barrier that can only be activated from the inside. The disturbance just now was caused by it being broken from the outside."
"Could it be that outsiders have invaded?"
"But now there is clearly no movement at all, so why is that?"
"I should send someone to check first. I can't rest easy until the great calamity of the Immortal Realm is eliminated. I heard that an ancient demon appeared in the mortal realm last year, and the gods will probably send someone to punish us soon. I wonder if any god can help my Immortal Realm get rid of this crisis."
...
Jiang Shumiao cast an invisibility spell on the group and strolled around openly.
She placed a restriction on the immortal realm, so no evil cultivator with wicked intentions could escape it, and the atmosphere seemed quite good.
Fuqu asked, "High God, since you've already come, why not wait for the sect leaders of the Celestial Realm to welcome you? Why are you sneaking around like this?"
"I'm here on an inspection tour."
Jiang Shumiao had her own reasoning: "Why make such a big fuss?"
Lin Tingwan didn't understand, so she chose to keep quiet.
Asagi noticed something amiss. "Are you... looking for something?"
Jiang Shumiao is searching for the Spirit Spring.
Before she took human form, the goddess Nuwa nourished her with a sacred spring.
There are also spiritual springs in the celestial realm.
She just hadn't been here for thousands of years and had forgotten the exact location.
There was no other way but to spread out my divine sense.
With her divine sense locked on, she instantly arrived at her destination, broke the barrier with a wave of her hand, and then repaired it in an instant.
The light blue spring water was shrouded in a layer of ethereal mist.
Mortals cannot withstand the power of immortal energy; a single sip would cause their bodies to explode and they to die. Therefore, one must first form a elixir before consuming it. However, one must not be greedy, for even a single sip can cleanse the marrow and transform the meridians, accelerating future cultivation.
Jiang Shumiao took out a white porcelain bottle from her Qiankun sleeve, tilted it slightly, and streams of spiritual spring water were drawn into it.
In the blink of an eye, half of the spring water in the lake had disappeared.
Suddenly, a shout rang out, "Who dares to trespass on the Immortal Gate?!"
When Jiang Shumiao was caught doing something wrong, her first reaction was to run away, so she made a move and disappeared on the spot.
