After the three returned to the sect, Ye Shang went to her cave dwelling. It seemed that only the sect leader and Xuanming could see her; none of the other sect disciples could see her.
As they walked along, even if someone came towards them, they would only bow and greet Xuanming, completely ignoring Ye Shang's presence.
Ye Shang could also sense that these disciples could not see her presence. Perhaps this trip was just to let her understand the passage of time and the speed of annihilation in the Xuan Tian Continent.
The two walked through the woods. To get to her cave, they had to pass through a bamboo forest with two hills on it. Ye Shang lived on one side, and Xuan Ming lived on the other.
At that time, Ye Shang was only focused on cultivation and was unable to remember Xuan Ming's existence. He would only remember Xuan Ming when he walked in front of him, but after Xuan Ming turned away, he would slowly lose all trace of him and only have a vague impression of him.
Ye Shang suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Xuanming... what are your views on time and space?"
Perhaps because of the connection between the present world and the Xuan Tian Continent, she can clearly remember Xuan Ming and will never forget him again; his appearance seems to be engraved in her mind.
Xuanming always had a faint smile on his face, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved: "I am clearly aware of my existence. I may also go to the same time and space as you, but I may also disappear from that time and space."
His soul would occasionally awaken in that body, but over the years, it only happened a few times. Until one time, he woke up unintentionally in the dark and saw himself sleeping in Ye Shang's arms. It was the first time he had ever been so clearly close to her.
He didn't even dare to move, for fear of disturbing her and breaking the moment of peace.
He didn't wake up until dawn in his cave, but by then his eyes were already filled with sorrow.
Unable to see or touch, the only way to appear in another person's body is through this method, even if that person is also one of one's own souls.
The fennec fox, a monster of the desert, split its soul into four parts as it faced death, with two of the parts already collected and merged.
The remaining portion represents his existence, but there is another portion that should be in the present world, though its location is unknown and he needs to find it himself.
Ye Shang may have guessed this as well. Senior Brother Xuanming is also one of the souls of that little fox. So, does that mean that Qingli also needs to complete the merger in the mortal world?
"Senior Brother Xuanming, can you go to the mortal world?" Ye Shang asked.
Xuanming nodded slightly, "Only three times."
In this life, in childhood, in adolescence, and in that youth.
Ye Shang pondered for a moment: "Therefore, Senior Brother Xuanming's soul is incomplete."
This statement is made with certainty and without any doubt. If it is a fragmented soul, it can explain why no one can remember him and only when they see him again will they instantly remember who he is.
Xuanming nodded slightly: "Aye is very smart."
He carried a fragment of the Demon King's memories, unlike the Demon King's soul fragments from other timelines who had completely lost their memories; it was as if he had been reincarnated.
So in his memory, he had seen Ye Shang, but he couldn't interfere too much.
The two walked and talked, with Ye Shang talking one after another, until they reached Ye Shang's cave. Only then did Xuan Ming say goodbye to her and return to his own residence.
Ye Shang looked at the newly renovated cave dwelling, which was obviously cleaned and rearranged by the sect leader.
I wonder what that disciple thought when he was suddenly called in to clean.
Ye Shang didn't care about anything else and simply sat cross-legged on the futon he often used for cultivation.
This was woven from spiritual herbs and imbued with rich spiritual energy. Ye Shang silently cultivated, and indeed, the spiritual energy of the Xuan Tian Continent was much more convenient. He could directly convert it using the Energy Control Technique and store it in his dantian.
But she was completely unaware that outside, the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously converging into her body, which was formed from her consciousness.
The spiritual energy within the body is transformed into energy through the Energy Control Technique, and it keeps rotating.
Ye Shang carefully guided the energy to prevent it from becoming disordered.
She was completely unaware that her cultivation level in the real world was quietly increasing. Cultivating in both worlds simultaneously almost created a situation where one plus one equals two.
In the present world, Ye Shang's cultivation level went directly from the late Nascent Soul stage to the Great Perfection stage, and he was just one step away from becoming a Deity Transformation cultivator.
Both of them were meditating. Compared to the quietness of the real world, Ye Shang's consciousness on the Xuan Tian Continent was much more frenzied. An unintentional gust of wind lifted her hair.
But his robes remained perfectly still, as stable as a mountain range.
This cultivation practice lasted for nearly five hundred years in Ye Shang's cave on the Xuan Tian Continent.
Over the course of five hundred years, the sect leader would occasionally come to check on her and see that she was still cultivating without moving. Xuanming, like a protector, would sit at the entrance of his cave all day long and would occasionally come over and sit at the entrance of Ye Shang's cave.
There was a stone table and stools on the side. He slowly brewed tea, and when he saw the sect leader standing there, he would jokingly ask him to come over and sit down for tea.
As for the other disciples in the Sword Sect, seeing that their sect leader kept coming here, they knew that their sect leader still couldn't accept Elder Ye's death. The disciples didn't say much, just assuming that their sect leader was feeling sentimental and wanted to come over from time to time to sit and look at Elder Ye's cave.
Some disciples were quite perceptive and would take turns coming over from time to time to repair or clean the cave.
The sect leader didn't say anything when he saw what the disciples were doing.
Xuanming sipped his tea, "A-Ye will probably undergo tribulation and advance here this time."
The sect leader also picked up his teacup and took a sip: "The fact that consciousness and physical abilities represent the body in undergoing tribulation is quite a breakthrough."
At least in this way, Ye Shang in the later stages could return to this world every time he was about to undergo tribulation, and then return to the real world after completing the tribulation.
The tribulation process on the Xuan Tian Continent is very mature. Even though it is currently in a state of annihilation, the tribulation process in the present world is probably still in the experimental stage. As long as a strong person with a slightly higher cultivation level undergoes tribulation in the present world, it is unlikely to attract too many powerful lightning tribulations.
Even if one survives a powerful lightning tribulation, it is a simple and life-threatening experience for cultivators. However, it is too simplistic and may not even serve the purpose of tempering one's bones.
The greatest benefit of a tribulation of lightning is that if you survive it, it's like your essence and marrow have been cleansed; if you don't, you simply vanish into thin air.
This is why many cultivators fail under the Heavenly Tribulation, but as long as they successfully overcome the tribulation, their strength will increase significantly, and their lifespan, meridians, body surface and bones will all become stronger.
For cultivators, it's like passing through the gates of hell, with life and death hanging in the balance.
