Di Tan, Ren Yingying, and Zeng Jing hit it off immediately. However, her two younger sisters had very low cultivation levels; they had only just embarked on the path of cultivation and had not yet become immortals.
But Di Tan vaguely knew that their identities must be extraordinary, because there were more than ten guards around them, and each of them was at the Golden Immortal level.
What kind of person could make ten Golden Immortals willingly serve as his guards? There probably isn't anyone like that in the Cloud Palace!
Although the three of them spent only a few years together, they became close friends and swore an oath of brotherhood, with Di Tan becoming their elder sister.
Upon parting, the two men gave her a jade talisman.
This jade talisman has only two uses: first, to remember to crush it when in danger; and second, to probe into it with one's divine sense and convey the pain of unrequited love.
Di Tan is now hesitant about whether to tell her two sisters what happened here. However, the other party is at the Hunyuan Realm, and she is no ordinary person. She knows that she and Lin Xiu are being monitored by the other party at all times. She is afraid that sending a message would bring trouble to her two sisters.
After much deliberation, Di Tan could only choose to remain silent for the time being, as she and Lin Xiu were not in immediate danger.
However, Di Tan kept the jade talisman hidden deep inside her spatial ring. She didn't send messages, but Ren Yingying and Zeng Jing could send her messages.
The three often confided in each other through the protective jade talismans made by Meng Fan. When Di Tan did not return for a long time, the two became suspicious and decided to come to this area to look for her.
While two thousand years passed outside, the two of them spent two hundred thousand years inside the Cloud Palace.
With Meng Fan's help and the guidance of many elders, they are now not far behind the main group, all of them possessing the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The two knew that something must have happened to their elder sister, and their attempts to divine the future were completely futile. So they decided to go there in person.
The two hurried and finally arrived at Taoshan Garden, where Ditan lived in seclusion, on the fourth day, but there was not a soul in sight.
The house was empty, and the two searched for a long time but found no clues.
Zeng Jing, a former assassin, was meticulous and thoughtful. After a moment's thought, she said, "There are no signs of a struggle here. I suspect that my elder sister was forced to abduct by a powerful figure."
Ren Yingying was also a perceptive person. She nodded and said, "Eldest sister wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. The jade talisman wasn't broken, so the person who came must be extremely powerful. Eldest sister was afraid of implicating us, so she cut off contact."
“Both my elder sister and Lin Xiu are at the Golden Immortal realm. The only person who could make them completely resistant would be a powerful figure at the Quasi-Saint level or above,” Zeng Jing calmly analyzed.
Following her train of thought, Ren Yingying said, "Currently, only the elders of our Yunxiao Palace in the Qingxuan World are at the Quasi-Saint level. It will take at least ten thousand years for such a powerful person to be born on the Tianze Continent. The person who came must be from the outside world."
"Should we report this to the young master?" Zeng Jing asked.
"I have a feeling that this matter is aimed at our Cloud Palace, but unfortunately the heavenly secrets are in chaos right now, and we can't deduce it. We should hurry back and tell the young master about this."
Ren Yingying sensed a subtle threat through her woman's intuition.
Zeng Jing nodded in agreement. This matter was beyond their capabilities, and Meng Fan would probably be happy to know about it.
The two returned the way they came and arrived at the sea of flowers in the Cloud Palace. Seeing Meng Fan with his arms around two women, looking completely intoxicated and not worried about the outsiders' conspiracy, they felt a strange sense of relief.
"I already know about this. Hmm, it's delicious."
Meng Fan ate the grapes Lianxing handed him and continued, "Lin Xiu is the chosen one of Heaven, born to enjoy the blessings of Heaven, and has always made great strides and turned misfortune into good fortune."
"However, after my Azure Profound World devoured the original universe, the Heavenly Dao became part of the Azure Profound World's will, severing its ties with the original. Therefore, Lin Xiu lost his destiny as the Chosen One."
"However, there are still traces of the Heavenly Dao within him. As long as he is brought to the Saint Realm, and then the Heavenly Dao is deduced using a secret method, they can find the budding Heavenly Dao of the Azure Profound World and thus refine the Heavenly Dao's will in its budding stage."
"Those people from the immeasurable world are quite remarkable. They were able to find out my roots so quickly, knew that I was no match for them, and then formulated a plan and have already implemented it. They are truly impressive."
"If they find Lin Xiu, they want to devour my Azure Profound World and then use the power of the Heavenly Dao to obliterate me. What a scheme they have!"
He understood the key to Meng Fan's character as soon as Ren Yingying and Zeng Jing explained it to him.
The matter became clear instantly, and his eyes seemed to contain boundless wisdom.
"Unfortunately, they don't know that I created the Azure Profound World, and that my authority is above the Heavenly Dao. Their schemes are destined to be nothing but illusions."
"You two are quite good, you've found such a crucial clue for me. What reward do you two want?"
Zeng Jing and Ren Yingying exchanged a glance, then bowed and said, "We wish to ask the Palace Master to save Di Tan. We humbly request your permission, Young Master!"
Meng Fan smiled and said, "She has my protective jade talisman on her. Once activated, those few people from the Boundless World won't be able to break it in a short time. Don't worry."
Ren Yingying rushed to Meng Fan's side and cried, "Young Master, my silly older sister doesn't know the power of that jade talisman. She probably won't be able to use it until she dies. I hope you can save her."
Meng Fan gently wiped away the tears on her face and teased, "You've picked up bad habits from others. Why are you using this trick too? I'm immune to it now."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying burst into tears, clinging to Meng Fan's leg and refusing to let go: "Young Master, please save my poor elder sister! We are sworn sisters with her, how can we be at ease with her in such a dangerous situation?"
Meng Fan quickly disappeared, but his words lingered in the air.
"I will tell her the truth. I will intervene when she crushes the jade talisman. You all should go into seclusion and cultivate. Don't disturb my cultivation here."
Ren Yingying and Zeng Jing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; with Meng Fan saying so, there was no need to worry about Di Tan's safety.
Zeng Jing laughed and said, "Sister Ren, where did you learn this skill of crying and making a scene? It seems that the young master is susceptible to this trick."
Ren Yingying was all smiles now, showing no trace of her crying moments before. She said mysteriously, "Don't tell anyone, I learned this from Sister Li Qiushui. She said that the young master falls for this trick."
"..."
Di Tan had been living in fear and anxiety these past few days.
Ever since she and Lin Xiu arrived at this place, which is light-years underground, her heart has been pounding.
There was a huge platform underground. Lin Xiu sat alone in the center of the platform, surrounded by three saints and the old man he had met named Tianyang Tianzun.
The four sat around the platform, emanating powerful auras, especially Tianyang Tianzun, whose destructive aura was terrifyingly tangible!
