Chapter Sixty-One: This junior comes from the Realm of the Void
Han Wei followed Shen Nanyi into the council hall inside the warship. There, she saw three cultivators at the Void Refinement stage. The one sitting in the center was an old man wearing a brown robe. This old man had white hair reaching his waist and a long beard. He was the same late-stage Void Refinement expert that Han Wei had seen on the battlefield who had killed the demon general.
He was none other than Shen Nanyi's master—Lu Qing.
The two cultivators at the Void Refinement stage sitting on either side of them were a middle-aged man with a long face and fair complexion, holding a feather fan in his hand, with a refined and gentle demeanor, and a beautiful woman dressed in a purple palace dress. This beautiful woman looked to be around thirty years old, with delicate and smooth skin and a charming appearance, as if she had cultivated the art of bewitching.
As soon as Han Wei entered, she looked at Han Wei and scanned her several times with her divine sense.
The pale-faced middle-aged man was Li Min, the Supreme Elder of Jinbo Palace in Yunzhou, while the beautiful woman in purple palace attire was Qin Yuelan, the wife of the sect leader of Shuiyun Sect in Yunzhou.
"Master!" Shen Nanyi entered and bowed to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing looked at Han Wei next to Shen Nanyi: "Nanyi, who is this person next to you?"
In fact, Lu Qing had already noticed Han Wei on the battlefield.
"Xu Muyao, a cultivator from outside the sect, greets you seniors!" Han Wei said politely.
"An outsider cultivator?" Qin Yuelan looked at Han Wei with surprise.
Not only was she surprised, but Lu Qing, Li Min, and Lu Xiuzhen, who came in with her, were also surprised.
"I was fighting with my master and tore through space. While chasing a thief, I accidentally entered the Star Luo Realm. I arrived on the battlefield as soon as I arrived," Han Wei said.
"At that time, I had exhausted my magic power and was surrounded by a demon clan with my fourth junior sister and the others. If it weren't for Fairy Xu falling from the sky and killing that demon clan team, I would probably be a corpse by now." Shen Nanyi said to his master. He said this clearly in order to make his master feel good about Han Wei and not mind her identity as an outsider cultivator.
Lu Qing saw through his eldest disciple's thoughts, stared at Han Wei for a few moments, and then asked, "Which realm are you a cultivator from?"
"This junior comes from the Void Realm," Han Wei replied.
The ethereal realm? Lu Qing, Li Min, and Qin Yuelan exchanged glances, all filled with doubt.
Qin Yuelan asked, "The Void Realm? Have you two fellow Daoists ever heard of it?"
“I’ve never heard of it,” Li Min said.
Lu Qing also said, "No."
Although none of the three had ever heard of the Void Realm, none of them doubted what Han Wei said. The "ten thousand" in "myriad realms" is a figurative number; there are far more than ten thousand realms in the universe. Small interfaces, medium interfaces, large interfaces, the main interface, plus the nine primordial realms—it's impossible to know how many worlds exist in this universe.
Han Wei, a Nascent Soul cultivator, possessing several spiritual treasures, could only be considered a cultivator from the Upper Realm in their eyes. The Wind Dragon Ring and the Five-Colored Celestial Robe were clearly worn by Han Wei.
The Spirit Cherry and Earth Fire Lotus that Han Wei used during her battle with Princess Pianran were incredibly powerful, leading them to believe she possessed a third spiritual treasure. In fact, she did indeed have one.
It's impossible for a cultivator from a lower realm to possess so many spiritual treasures; only a cultivator from an upper realm could.
The term "upper realm" is relative.
In the Cloud Realm, the Middle Realm, the Great Realm, the Main Realm, and the Nine Primal Realms, which are of higher status, are all considered Upper Realms. In the Star Luo Realm, however, when we talk about Upper Realms, we are referring to the Great Realm, the Main Realm, and the Nine Primal Realms, which are even more expansive and of higher status than the Star Luo Realm.
"You said your master was fighting with someone and accidentally entered the Star Luo Realm. So, where is your master?" Lu Qing asked Han Wei.
Han Wei said, "Where is Master now? This junior doesn't know either. Perhaps he's somewhere in this Star Luo Realm."
Han Wei didn't reveal that she came from a minor realm to guard against these people. If they knew she was from a minor realm, who knows if they would immediately hatch a wicked plan to kill her and steal her treasure. By saying she was a cultivator from the upper realm, they would definitely be wary and wouldn't dare to act rashly.
In a mid-level realm like the Star Luo Realm, the highest cultivation level is at most the Integration Stage. In larger realms, there are cultivators at the Mahayana Stage, Tribulation Transcending Stage, and even True Immortal Walking Stage. If one were to offend any old monster, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Han Wei said she came from the upper realm and mentioned her master, which was to tell them, "My master has also come. Think twice before you try to take advantage of me."
"So, what are your thoughts now, Fairy Xu?" Lu Qing asked.
Han Wei said, "Naturally, I'll try to find my master and then try to return to the Void Realm."
“I don’t know much about your Void Realm, but in the Star Luo Realm, we humans and the demon race are sworn enemies. We’ve been at war with the demon race for decades now. Fairy Xu is unfamiliar with this place, and it might be dangerous for her to go to find your master alone. Why don’t you stay here first and then look for your master later?” Lu Qing said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanyi smiled and said to Han Wei:
"Yes, Fairy Xu. Why don't you come with us first? We were trying to find your master before."
Han Wei was silent for a moment, then bowed to Lu Qing:
"Then I apologize for disturbing you, Mu Yao."
“Fairy Xu saved my disciple’s life. Once the fighting subsides, I will definitely send someone to help you find your master. Nan Yi, please arrange accommodations for Fairy Xu,” Lu Qing said.
"Yes, Master."
Shen Nanyi was very happy to receive the order and went out with Han Wei, then arranged a room for Han Wei on the warship.
————
Two people were standing in the elegant room.
"Fairy Xu, is this room alright?" Shen Nanyi asked Han Wei.
Han Wei glanced around the room. It was quite spacious and nicely furnished, rather elegant. She nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."
"Then you should rest, fairy. Call me if you need anything," Shen Nanyi said.
Han Wei nodded.
Shen Nanyi went out and closed the door behind her.
His injuries were actually quite serious, but he insisted on taking Han Wei to see his master so that he could talk to her a few more times. Now that he had arranged accommodations for Han Wei, he immediately went back to his room to heal his injuries.
After walking around the room for a while, Han Wei stood in front of the open window.
The wind whipped her gauze dress, and as far as the eye could see, all she saw were unfamiliar mountains and rivers. Dozens of warships hovered in the sky above these mountains and rivers, and in the distance, there was the smoke and fire of war.
Is it the Star Luo Realm?
She could sense that Gu Qi was in the Star Luo Realm, but the distance was vast; he should be heading this way. She didn't know where Su Rumei and the Heavenly Demon Saintess had gone, or where the spatial turbulence had taken them. Had they also fallen into the Star Luo Realm?
————
Inside a cave in Cheongju.
Four Nascent Soul stage demons surrounded a pitiful-looking woman. She wore a black veil, her long, slender, white legs peeking out from it. Her face paled, she retreated to a corner, looking at the demons with fear, her voice trembling:
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me."
A blue-haired demon youth leered and pulled her into his arms. While groping her inappropriately, he laughed and said, "Little beauty, be good and let us have some fun. If you serve us well, we won't kill you."
