Ayao turned to look at Luo Bai. She paused for a moment, then looked at Luo Bai and said, "Perhaps I will end up like you, or perhaps I will have perished together with Jingxin Wuchen long ago. But in any case, I can't be like you and wash my hands of everything cleanly."
After saying these words, A Yao turned around and tore open a spatial rift. After watching her leave, Luo Bai lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Ayao returned to the Phoenix Clan, and after returning, she began to cultivate in seclusion.
————
In the boundless star field, a dozen streaks of light, like comets, streaked across the sky. These streaks of light flew towards a huge planet ahead. This planet appeared to be a wild and untamed place, uninhabited by mortals, and even more so by cultivators.
The streaks of light pierced through the thick clouds, transforming upon landing into a group of immortals dressed in magnificent white robes. These immortals were led by a beautiful, delicate-looking young girl. Her hair was loosely styled in a bun, adorned with pearl flowers that emitted a dazzling celestial light, giving her an aura of holiness.
This young girl is Yan Rong.
A million years later, Yan Rong had already become a Golden Immortal. Her talent was already among the best; while not quite on par with Feng Chu and A Yao, she was in no way inferior to the many other talented individuals across the myriad realms. It was a pity her mind was too cluttered, hindering her cultivation; otherwise, she would at least be a Great Luo Golden Immortal by now.
If he had diligently cultivated, he might have already reached the realm of Immortal King.
It's a pity she had too many thoughts. So, even though she was indeed better than her mother, she still wasted her talent.
Because A Yao didn't acknowledge her, she stayed in the Sword God Palace. Later, she became Feng Chu's nominal disciple. A million years passed, and Feng Chu had long since become an Immortal Emperor. Although he had become an Immortal Emperor, his appearance hadn't changed; he still looked like a child, and his temperament didn't seem to have grown much.
Although Yan Rong hadn't intentionally committed any heinous acts in the past million years, she had still caused several major disasters, each of which Feng Chu had to resolve. This greatly displeased Feng Chu, so he didn't grant her the inheritance of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan. However, considering that she was the only remaining descendant of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, he didn't expel her from the Sword God Palace.
However, Feng Chu's patience with her has now reached its limit.
If she causes trouble again, Feng Chu will no longer care whether she lives or dies.
He only agreed to help Senior Yan Tang three times.
Yan Rong was unaware of Feng Chu's true thoughts. Feng Chu repeatedly cleaned up her messes, leading her to believe he cared about her, and she felt smug. She then used her status as Feng Chu's disciple to swagger around outside the Sword God Palace.
"Senior Sister Yan Rong, is there really any treasure here? This place looks quite desolate," said a female disciple of the Sword God Palace with a snake-shaped bun hairstyle. This female disciple was at the Celestial Immortal stage.
"This is the location shown on the treasure map, there's no mistake. You all disperse and go find it," Yan Rong ordered imperiously.
This desolate planet indeed had many restrictions, giving it an air of mystery, which further convinced Yan Rong that there were treasures here. The disciples dispersed and began searching meticulously. After several days of searching, they discovered the entrance to a cave in a valley on the planet.
At the entrance to this cave, a powerful protective array was set up. Several disciples of the Sword God Palace worked together, but they still couldn't break through the barrier.
"What a bunch of useless trash, get out of the way," Yan Rong said coldly as she arrived.
Although she was quite annoyed that these useless people couldn't even break the formation, she quickly thought that the presence of such a powerful formation meant there must be some extraordinary treasure inside. If there weren't any treasures, why would they set up such a powerful barrier outside?
The disciples of the Sword God Palace retreated one by one, heads bowed, all displeased with Yan Rong. They suspected that even if she had found some treasure, she wouldn't share it with them. This woman looked pitiful and harmless, but in reality, she was narrow-minded, mean, and ungrateful. They wondered what their Uncle-Master Feng Chu saw in her that made him accept her as a disciple.
Yan Rong stood in mid-air, looking down at the magic array outside the cave. She took out small flags from her storage space, which flew down and stuck into the rock wall.
Yan Rong formed a hand seal, and the small flags emitted a dazzling green light. Then, countless green runes appeared in the sky. These runes connected and formed a huge green array that enveloped the area below.
The white barrier surrounding the cave collided with the massive green magic array, producing a thunderous roar. The entire earth seemed to shake as if an earthquake had struck, cracking open in numerous fissures.
Yan Rong originally thought that by using these array flags, she could destroy the array outside the cave.
To everyone's surprise, despite the great commotion, the huge white barrier array remained intact, while all of her array flags burst into flames.
This made Yan Rong lose face.
Although the people around him didn't dare to laugh, they were secretly gloating.
Yan Rong was extremely displeased and glared fiercely at the people beside her. Enraged, she unleashed her natal magic weapon, a small red sword. Every disciple of the Sword God Palace possessed their own natal sword. However, unlike Xie Chen and Feng Chu, their natal swords weren't innate sword types they were born with.
The natal swords of the disciples of the Sword God Palace are acquired through cultivation, where they refine magical artifacts into their own natal swords.
This natal sword is his greatest trump card and his strongest attack method. If the natal sword is damaged, it will definitely cause him serious injury and backlash.
Now that Yan Rong had lost face, she was furious and immediately unleashed her natal sword. A powerful sword intent ignited around her, and the natal sword split into hundreds of thousands of blades in the sky behind her. These hundreds of thousands of flying swords rained down like a red storm. The white barrier shattered after Yan Rong's relentless barrage.
boom--
Yan Rong forcibly broke through the barrier outside the cave.
Yan Rong's face was a little pale, but at least she managed to save face.
"Senior Sister Yan Rong's skills are truly extraordinary!"
"Senior Sister Yan Rong is amazing!"
"Of course, Senior Sister Yan Rong is Uncle Feng's disciple."
Flatterers immediately rushed over to fawn over her, and Yan Rong quite enjoyed the flattery. She sheathed her natal sword and entered the cave with the others. The cave looked extremely ancient, its origins unknown, and contained other restrictions, which Yan Rong and the others broke one by one.
These restrictions would have taken even a Celestial Emperor a considerable amount of time to set up. It's just that because they've been in operation for so long, they've lost their original power, allowing Yan Rong and the others to break them so easily.
If they had come a hundred years earlier, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to get in now.
