After a warm and intimate meal, Song Siyao personally went to pick up the clan leader and Canxing.
Song Hexi slapped Song Chaoxuan and said irritably, "You brat, why didn't you say anything when you recovered? We've all been waiting."
They listened intently to any sounds; if the clansmen cried out in alarm, it must be the Song sisters and their father returning.
We didn't hear a sound for a while, so we didn't expect that it had come back invisibly.
Song Chaoxuan smiled and apologized to the old clan chief, but as soon as he looked at him, his heart skipped a beat.
"Chieftain, you..."
Song Hexi patted his shoulder again, "What's wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine."
"You've just returned, shouldn't we have a proper celebration to congratulate you on your resurrection? Tonight, it's my treat. The Cloud Hidden Clan welcomes our High Priest back."
"Great! Tonight is sure to be exciting!" Qin Xi said expectantly.
The Song sisters smiled and showed no objection.
Only the old father shook his head, "We'll talk about that later. Now let's talk about the timing of A Yao's ascension."
Upon hearing this, everyone paused in their laughter and sat down around the table with serious expressions.
The meal that had just been served had already been cleaned up by Shen Zhuochuan. Now, a pot of spiritual tea had been placed on the table, and the man was slowly and methodically preparing the tea, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Song Tingwan watched the man's behavior in front of her father and smiled without saying a word.
Even Baili Xijiang belatedly realized something was amiss, and his gaze toward his uncle was full of teasing.
Shen Zhuochuan ignored it and handed out cups of tea one by one.
Song Chaoxuan sipped the fragrant tea, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I know that a hundred years have passed, and the desire for A Yao to ascend to heaven is strong and is the will of the people. However, if you want to reconnect the heavenly ladder between the two worlds, you still need to do one more thing."
After shedding his calm and gentle demeanor, his gaze, now imbued with a divine intensity, swept over the crowd.
It seems that there is nowhere to hide.
At this moment, Song Chaoxuan's dark pupils appeared somewhat empty, subconsciously convincing people of his presence.
"What's up."
Wanqi asked in a deep voice.
Under everyone's gaze, Song Chaoxuan laughed, "If you want to ascend to heaven in one fell swoop, you still need to collect the Heavenly Ladder that was severed back then."
Heavenly Ladder.
I have never heard of such a thing existing in the world.
"Search little by little?" Song Tingwan asked softly.
We don't know how long the severed ladder to heaven was, or how many steps it had, and its whereabouts are unknown.
Everyone's expressions were solemn. Song Chaoxuan's eyes returned to normal, and he shook his head with a smile, "This matter is an opportunity for the two sisters. Just keep heading north, and you will eventually meet them."
"They...are people?" Song Siyao asked sharply.
Qin Xi and Shen Zhuochuan realized that this trip was a trial for the two sisters.
"Yes or no, you'll know when you meet them."
Song Chao spoke mysteriously, without revealing everything.
"If this is a trial for Wan'er and A Yao, why did Uncle call the clan leader and Can Xing over as well?"
As expected of the young sect leader, Qin Xi sensed something was amiss.
Ever since Song Chaoxuan spoke, Canxing has been frowning and calculating non-stop, but no matter how he calculates, the future does not seem to be auspicious.
But looking at his master's appearance, one couldn't tell at all.
"Don't bother calculating it now. I'll explain it to you another day."
Song Chaoxuan suppressed a laugh.
It was a dead end.
How can one possibly divine a lucky hexagram?
There needs to be someone leading the way.
Only by forging ahead can we find a way out.
"They will have to find the ladder to heaven before ascension; the rest we'll have to entrust to everyone else."
Song Chaoxuan looked around at the people in this circle, each of them coming from a different faction.
It was also thanks to the two sisters that they were able to help each other.
“Psychic power is very important. Furthermore, there will be countless changes regarding ascension, so everyone needs to put in a lot of effort. It’s always good to be well-prepared.”
“I have glimpsed many rare races that have lost their vitality and are slowly heading towards extinction.”
Baili Xijiang raised his hand, "Are we going to save the demon race from chaos and peril, just like when Master was first resurrected?"
Song Chaoxuan looked at him with satisfaction, "Hmm, he really is Awan's apprentice, his comprehension is really high."
Wanqiji and Shen Zhuochuan looked at Song Chaoxuan, they both understood, but they didn't say it out loud like Baili Xijiang.
But they also understood that if they spoke up, Uncle Song's attitude would definitely not be so complimentary.
"Help if you can, save if you can. Before you successfully ascend, there will only be more and more trouble."
"With Ayao and Awan gone, can you maintain peace in the world?"
Song Chaoxuan's loving gaze held a slight smile, and no one shook their head.
"I! Since I cannot travel with my master this time, I will follow in his footsteps and use my alchemy skills to save all living beings in the world."
Baili Xijiang met his master's smiling eyes with full confidence.
"Then I will take advantage of the Tianji Sect's excellent information network to provide everyone with news," Qin Xi said loudly, raising his cup and looking around at them.
"The Demon Realm is doing its utmost to maintain peace in the world." Wan Qiji raised his glass earnestly.
Shen Zhuochuan looked up at them and said gently, "The summit of Yunque is also like this."
Song Hexi chuckled, “Our Yunyin Clan is blessed by Heaven and should naturally safeguard the peace of the world.”
They are indispensable for important events, contributing both money and effort.
"If you didn't know better, you'd think you were raising glasses of wine." Song Tingwan smiled, hiding her face behind her sleeve, and then raised her glass as well.
"Then I thank you all for your efforts for the sake of all living beings in this world."
Song Siyao and her father raised their glasses together, "We just hope everything goes well."
Needless to say, Song Siyao and Song Hexi would contact the rulers of the Six Realms, including Yan Shanjun.
This concerns saving the world, so it seems normal for there to be turmoil before ascension.
