The matter of Yi Zhong taking Fang Kun away was never resolved. However, after the discussion, Heng Yan and Fang Ming reached a preliminary reconciliation. Fang Ming voluntarily released the immortals of the Second Heaven and withdrew the troops stationed there. Heng Yan could finally return to continue being his Emperor. As for what happens next, that's up to them to decide.
You You didn't intend to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Heng Yan, she planned to return to the True Stroke Sect with Feng Rongyuan's father. Before Heng Yan could even try to persuade her to stay, the group from the Fourth Heaven were already crying their eyes out.
She escorted them all the way from the Fourth Heaven to the Third Heaven and then to the Second Heaven, each of them looking sorrowful and on the verge of tears. If it weren't for Feng Rong constantly staying by her side, occasionally lashing out with her sharp, piercing gaze, those people would have rushed over, grabbed her legs, and dragged her away, refusing to let her go!
"Celestial Maiden, are you really...really not going to stay a little longer? Even just a little while longer would be fine!"
"Yes, Heavenly Maiden, this is the Celestial Realm. Do you wish to ascend to immortality? We can help you!"
"Yes, yes! There's a Heavenly Pool in the Fourth Heaven, filled with incredibly rich immortal energy. Maybe if you just wash in there, you can cultivate immortal bones in no time!"
"If you really can't raise it, that's okay, I have some! I... I'll extract my immortal bone for you!"
"Pah! Everyone has some kind of divine talent. Use mine, mine is better than his!"
"Heavenly Maiden, don't listen to them! I think mine is better!"
"Heavenly Maiden, please consider me!"
"..." What's wrong with you guys?
"No need, I think it's better to cultivate it myself!" Her lips twitched. Did she have to talk about extracting immortal bones like it was a huge promotional event?!
"Get out! Get out!" In the end, Fang Ming stepped forward and kicked back a group of eager subordinates. She looked at You You with a serious expression and said, "They are giving bad advice. Heavenly Maiden, don't listen to them. Immortal bones are not something that can be extracted so easily. Not to mention that this thing cannot be given up, even if you succeed, you are not a true immortal if you are not recognized by the Heavenly Dao. In that case, you will only implicate the Heavenly Maiden."
You You nodded, thinking that finally someone reliable had come along, but then Fang Ming changed the subject, saying, "I'm different. I would never let you take such a risk, so... I've decided to go down to the mortal realm with you. What do you think?"
Youyou: "..."
All the immortals: "..."
groove!
They may not be human, but you really are a dog!
Youyou was speechless. She thanked him for his kindness, and then... firmly refused him!
"No need, my True Transformation Sect has no plans to recruit new disciples at the moment!" Even if there were plans, we wouldn't recruit you. She built a sect for immortals, with the goal of becoming immortals. What are you graduates from other schools doing here?
The light in Fang Ming's eyes instantly dimmed, and the immortals behind him also wore expressions of utter despair. They'd waited thousands of years for a girl, and she was going back to the mortal realm after barely a day's stay. They'd never see her again, and would be back to their boring, single lives. It was utterly hopeless! The immortal realm wasn't worth it!
You You glanced at the large group of immortals before her, who looked as if their houses had collapsed, and then, as if remembering something, couldn't help but turn back and suggest, "Well... if you really want to contribute to the cause of cultivation, I have a plan. I wonder if Emperor Fang Ming and all the other immortal lords would be willing?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, their expressions, which had just looked like they'd been through a frost, instantly brightened, and they all shouted in unison, "Good!" Whatever the Heavenly Maiden said was good!
"..."
————————
Upon returning to the sect, You You immediately handed Ling Qi a timetable, with dates ranging from at least ten years to over a hundred years. Detailed addresses and attributes were also provided.
“This is…” Ling Qi looked completely bewildered.
"Oh, this is the schedule for the opening of some Immortal-level secret realms on the Immortal Continent over the next few hundred years," You You explained casually. "There will be some related inheritances and Daoist insights inside. The most recent one is in three months, when a secret realm related to sword cultivation will open. You should hurry up and make arrangements to see which disciples to send in, as well as the resources that need to be prepared, so that they can be allocated in time."
"No..." Ling Qi was even more confused. "The allocation is not a problem, but what exactly is this secret realm... I have never heard of any signs of a secret realm opening in these places." Seriously, how did the sect leader know all this?!
“Originally there wasn’t one, but there will be soon!” You You explained, “Here’s the thing, this time in the Upper Realm, we reached an agreement with the Fourth Emperor to assist the mortal realm’s immortal sects in joint teaching. Isn’t it said that immortal-level secret realms all come from the Upper Realm? At that time, they will periodically refine some secret realms and throw them down to the lower realm to help the cultivators in the lower realm learn and comprehend.”
"Huh! Huh?" Ling Qi felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed.
"I've thought about it. Our goal in cultivation is to become an immortal. But the teaching materials used by all the immortal sects in Xianze don't come from real immortals," You You explained seriously. "Everyone is groping their way through materials whose success is uncertain, which is tantamount to reinventing the wheel. That's why the ascension rate in Xianze has been getting lower and lower over the years. I remember you said that the last immortal to ascend was a thousand years ago. Now that we have better learning methods and mentors, why not update them?"
"..." It's...it can be like this?!
Ling Qi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said, "But... cultivation has always relied on one's own comprehension, even if there are immortal secret realms..."
"So we need to speed up their comprehension success rate!" You You understood very well. The so-called comprehension is actually the same as a teacher teaching knowledge to different students. Some students have good grades and can apply what they've learned to other situations, so they naturally understand quickly. But some students have poor grades and can't understand no matter what they do. This doesn't mean they are inherently stupid, but rather that they may not be suited to this teaching method.
Practice is often the best form of teaching, and there are very few places in the entire Immortal Continent where one can practice. Although disciples will go out to train and take on mortal missions, things can't happen in the mortal realm every day, so the existence of secret realms is very necessary.
Fang Ming and her companions were graduates of immortal cultivation, possessing experience in understanding the Great Dao and even the methods of achieving immortality. The task she had previously entrusted to them was to have them refine some secret realms and place them in the lower realms, setting entry thresholds, and then pass on their own experience through inheritance or comprehension to the disciples who entered these realms.
At that time, the immortals of the celestial realm will also appear in the secret realm in the form of primordial spirit avatars to test and teach the disciples who enter.
Of course, the secret realm does not belong solely to their True Evolution Sect, and the locations of the realms are different. Disciples from all immortal sects who meet the requirements can enter, but they are the ones who get the first-hand information first, which is why there is this timetable.
