Sixty years.
In the blink of an eye.
For those on the path of cultivation, time is the least valuable thing; a single seclusion can mean the passing of hundreds of years.
The reopening of Jade Immortal Valley marks another grand occasion for newcomers to the Immortal Realm.
Mi Li watched as the tokens to enter the secret realm were being sold for exorbitant prices on the black market. She remembered how poor she and Fu You had been back then. If they had the money, they could have bought one on the black market.
However, she quickly realized that this matter was not about the token, but rather that the Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor had no intention of giving them a way out.
The book Chen Guang gave her was very useful.
That book seemed to have been made for her to cultivate. After learning the shadow techniques, she no longer worried about cultivation resources. Her physical body level remained at the Immortal King realm and could not be improved any further, but her shadow level had reached a new height.
She knew very well that the cultivation level of the Shadow was different from that of the Immortal Realm, as if it belonged to another energy system. She didn't know, so she had no way of comparing what level it had reached.
Over the years, the people of the Moon Gazing Immortal Sect have been searching for her.
The booklet that Chen Guang stole seemed extremely important to them, but because she knew illusion magic, they were lucky enough not to find it each time.
Even if that technique for cultivating shadows were placed in front of them, they wouldn't be able to cultivate it. She was certain that the technique was specifically designed to target their Shadow Cat clan.
Even without the advantage in cultivation, the advantage of ancient bloodlines is innate.
It was only then that she began to appreciate some of the benefits of her bloodline.
With Jade Fairy Valley open, she knew without a doubt that the people of the Moon Gazing Immortal Sect had laid numerous ambushes, waiting for her to walk right into their trap.
She didn't care; the thought of seeing Fu You was enough to make her happy.
Chen Guang followed behind her, nagging, "It's fine if you don't want to go, I can go and ask around."
Mi Li ignored him.
No one knows how long she had been looking forward to this day. She had never complained about how slowly time was passing, wishing that time would end in a second.
Chen Guang sighed and continued, "I heard that the Wangyue Immortal Sect has hung a mirror at the entrance of Yuxian Valley that can reveal a person's true form. As long as you go there and are reflected in the mirror, no matter how well you disguise yourself, you will be exposed."
Mi Li knew why Chen Guang was by her side.
They both came from the cultivation world. Fu You and Chen Guang fought fiercely back then and had some relationship. When they arrived in the immortal realm, they were also brothers in misfortune, as they both offended the Wangyue Immortal Sect one after another.
Fu You fell into Jade Immortal Valley, and it wasn't Chen Guang's fault, but Chen Guang felt guilty, probably because he treated her as his brother's widow.
Chen Guang probably knew he couldn't reason with Mi Li, so he could only sigh and go to Yu Xian Valley with her.
As Chen Guang passed by the mirror, his heart was pounding with anxiety, feeling that this day next year would probably be his death anniversary.
Unexpectedly, when Mi Li looked through the mirror, she was unharmed, and the image reflected in the mirror was still that of Mi Li in disguise.
Chen Guang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
Mi Li glanced back at the mirror. It was this very mirror that had revealed her true form back then, which had forced Fu You to reveal himself. But this time, it no longer revealed her true form.
Before, she only thought that the book Chen Guang gave her was a treasure, but today she realized what kind of treasure it was.
"Thank you!" She bowed gracefully, speaking from the bottom of her heart. "I have been so grateful for your kindness in the past, and now, all past grievances are wiped clean."
Chen Guang's breath hitched, and he returned the greeting with a composed expression.
The two settled down in the market outside Jade Fairy Valley. By then, the place was packed with people, and every inn was full. If they arrived late, they would have to sleep on the ground in the wilderness, and they might even be robbed or taken advantage of.
Even though law enforcers were sent to guard the various immortal realms and sects, it still couldn't stop people from committing crimes.
When Yinguo arrived carrying the rabbit, he was very confused.
"Huh, isn't that little cat demon coming to see Fu You anymore?"
The rabbit rolled its eyes, clearly jealous. "You care?"
"Hey, she doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"You know her very well?"
"Could it be that they're afraid of the demon-revealing mirror at the door?"
The rabbit got annoyed. "You've thought of everything."
“I’ll pick it, so the little cat demon can come in smoothly.”
Rabbit, dead!
Without hesitation, he leaped up and snatched the demon-revealing mirror with one hand.
The moment the mirror was held in his hand and examined, Wangyue appeared, moving so fast it was as if he were the very mirror that revealed the demons.
Yinguo patted the rabbit in his arms and secretly slipped the demon-revealing mirror into its embrace. "This is for you. Do you like it?"
The rabbit's eyes lit up, it instantly came back to life, and it felt that it could live for another 50,000 years.
The Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor's face was slightly dark.
Flirting and joking in front of him, what a beast!
"Immortal Emperor of Karma, how have you been? Please return my mirror to me!"
"Huh? Isn't this an unclaimed item?"
The little monk looked completely innocent, with an adorable smile.
The rabbit looked on with admiration. "Damn it, he's lived for tens of thousands of years and is still so cute. Has his age really been transferred to his body? Does he only increase his cultivation level and not his age?"
The Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor's tone was slightly somber. This was something he had exchanged for a top-tier magic treasure; how could it be unclaimed? "I am its master."
The rabbit got angry.
He transformed in an instant into a flamboyant young man with black hair and red robes, possessing unparalleled elegance and charm. "This is my token of love, do you dare steal it?"
The Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor was enraged.
He sneered. "You've been prepared for this year. You have help? I have mine too!" He immediately raised his voice, "Clumsy Immortal Emperor, it's been many years. How are you?"
From the crowd, a Taoist priest carrying a large alms bowl stepped forward, looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, "Thank you for your concern, I am unworthy of such praise. Is the Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor well?"
Yinguo snorted coldly. The two of them were clearly entangled in a 'sex' relationship. Did they think he couldn't see it?
The relationships between people are truly terrifying; it seems the only truly pure relationship exists between humans and animals.
Two against two, this fight is finally balanced.
The Moon-Gazing Immortal Emperor was no longer afraid, his gaze defiantly fixed on the rabbit. "My mirror!"
The rabbit's eyes instantly turned red; this was its love token.
It leaped up with its rabbit foot and kicked at the Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor.
Countless flying kicks rained down on the Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor.
Next came the rabbit punches and kicks in turn.
The lofty and aloof Immortal Emperor Wangyue seemed like a punching bag in front of the rabbit.
Everyone was stunned. Everyone knew that there were seven Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm, but now it seemed that there were differences between the Immortal Emperors.
Some Celestial Emperors can take on two opponents at once.
Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.
Zhuo Fa watched with trepidation. He had thought that he and Wang Yue together would be enough to deal with the bald monks of the Samsara Temple, but now it seemed that he had overestimated himself.
He desperately wanted to leave, but he was bound by the rabbit's divine sense and couldn't move at all. He couldn't help but lament that he had now lost more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken, and had gotten himself back in.
When Wangyue landed in front of him like a tattered sack, and the rabbit's divine sense completely focused on him, he was truly terrified.
An angry rabbit, how scary!
Driven by a powerful will to survive, he decisively kicked Wangyue countless times. "I've disliked you for a long time, and today, I'm finally doing justice for you."
full moon:"……"
Rabbit: "Hehe!"
Cause and effect: "Excellent, excellent! To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."
My humble opinion: "...Master is absolutely right!"
Jade Fairy Valley went mad that day.
The once aloof and arrogant Immortal Emperor Wangyue was beaten so badly in front of everyone that the Wangyue Immortal Sect lost all face and dignity.
The crowd was filled with disbelief and indescribable excitement.
In a short time, many people joined the Reincarnation Temple, and the disciples of the Reincarnation Temple were respected wherever they went.
Mi Li witnessed the great battle in the sky and realized more clearly what strength really means.
Unfortunately, she understood this principle too late, wasting tens of thousands of years of her life.
Even after the Jade Immortal Valley Secret Realm reopened, the Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor was not seen again. Many people felt relieved and rushed to the Jade Immortal Valley Secret Realm. The rushing people were mixed with disciples of the Moon Gazing Immortal Sect, but they all hesitated and erased all the markings of the Moon Gazing Immortal Sect on their bodies, for fear of being recognized and embarrassed.
Mi Li stood outside.
She is already at the Celestial King level and can no longer enter.
As soon as she stepped into the doorway, the overwhelming pressure of heaven and earth rushed towards her, making her feel as if her bones were shattering and her skin was cracking inch by inch. She had no doubt that if she dared to take another step forward, she would be annihilated and disappear into the world.
Yinguo walked to her side and sighed, "Benefactor, please wait another year. You have already waited for sixty years. Do not let your efforts be in vain."
At this moment, the cause and effect truly resembled that of an enlightened high monk.
Without the interference of the Moon-Gazing Immortal Emperor, Mi Li has returned to her original form.
She bowed to the monk and then sat cross-legged to meditate.
As they moved further apart, she whispered to the rabbit, "She seems to have changed."
"You're very observant," the rabbit grunted.
"The girl who used to seem so innocent is now like a lifeless object. The word 'love' really hurts people."
The rabbit's eyes reddened. "You knew that too?"
Yin and Yang nodded. "Therefore, cultivation is still the best option!"
The rabbit raised its fist and slapped Yin Guo cleanly and decisively.
Damn it, you blind, stupid monk.
"Why did you hit me?" she cried, looking aggrieved.
You deserve to be hit!
What does it taste like?
"The smell of vinegar!"
Yinguo quickly pried open the rabbit's mouth with his hands. "Hey, you should brush your teeth, you look like you have some indigestion!"
The rabbit was listless and weak.
Even if my heart is bleeding, it will still drip in the shape of love for you.
The two were having a lively time when, unexpectedly, something happened to Mi Li.
The Moon Gazing Immortal Emperor, whom everyone thought had disappeared, suddenly appeared beside Mi Li and unleashed a deadly attack.
The cause and effect were astonishing.
I was so anxious that I broke out in a sweat.
Sixty years ago, Wang Yue ambushed Fu You right under his nose. If Wang Yue were to use the same trick again sixty years later, it would be too shameful for him, the Immortal Emperor.
As soon as Yin and Yang made their move, they were surprised to find that Wang Yue had been knocked away, while Mi Li was still in the same spot.
Mi Li looked at herself as she succeeded, then glanced in the direction where Wang Yue had disappeared, and was stunned.
When Mochizuki attacked her just now, she instinctively used the shadow magic she had learned to defend herself. She never expected that not only would she not die, but she would also hit Mochizuki and make him cough up blood.
She was certain that Mochizuki had been beaten by the monk Yinuo's rabbit, but not fatally. However, the punch she had just thrown would likely have been fatal to Mochizuki, which was why Mochizuki had vomited blood.
Is the shadow magic she learned even more powerful than that of the Celestial Emperor?
The entire Jade Fairy Valley fell silent once again.
The rabbit took on two at once, astonishing everyone.
Despite being a Celestial King, Mi Li was able to send Wang Yue flying with a single punch, which instilled fear in everyone.
Everyone felt a sense of disbelief; were they really in the immortal realm?
Why has the Immortal Realm become so strange, so unrecognizable?
Chen Guang's eyes widened. He only knew that Mi Li's bloodline was peculiar, but he never expected it to be this peculiar. Just how magical was that shadow magic book?
Yin Guo leaned closer, looking at Mi Li as if he didn't recognize her. "Benefactor, are you... alright?"
Mi Li was somewhat confused.
I think... everything's alright?
Jade Immortal Valley fell silent once again. Everyone was confused about the situation. All they wanted was for the treasure hunt in the secret realm to end quickly so they could collect some treasures and then hurry up and start cultivating.
Jade Fairy Valley has never felt so unfamiliar and frightening!
Just as I was thinking this, a loud "boom" suddenly came from Jade Fairy Valley.
When everyone looked up, they saw that the Jade Immortal Valley, which had just been closed, had now reopened, and the many immortal lords who had entered were being thrown out like trash.
After the recognized immortal landed, some people immediately took off running, wishing they could leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Someone was terrified and shouted, "Run! The monster inside is about to come out!"
Without him saying it, everyone could see that behind the densely packed immortal lords, countless demonic beasts stood side by side on the edge of Jade Immortal Valley, their brightly colored eyes coldly and indifferently watching the outside world, as if waiting for a command to flatten Jade Immortal Valley.
Behind the demonic beast, on a huge demonic elephant, there seemed to be a human figure sitting. The figure was shrouded in light, dazzling and beautiful, as if the ancestor of spirits had appeared in the world.
Countless people started running around in a panic.
Just how powerful the monsters in Jade Fairy Valley are, anyone who has been there knows.
Nearly half of the people die there every year.
When encountering a colossal creature, only by having countless people work together to attack it can one barely survive. Fortunately, those monsters have a strong sense of territory, and as long as you leave their territory, you will not be attacked.
Otherwise, everyone would probably die inside.
This time, for some unknown reason, all the demonic beasts gathered together and adopted a unified offensive posture. Even more terrifying, their natural enemies had united as one.
The scene of countless people rushing out was exceptionally spectacular.
Apart from the six Immortal Emperors from the ten major immortal sects, the remaining people were only Chen Guang and Mi Li.
Mi Li stared at the figure in the dazzling light, her heart pounding wildly. Without hesitation, she flew in the opposite direction from the others toward the figure in Jade Immortal Valley.
Fu You, is that you?
