454: Refining the void

Heaven and earth are vast.

At every moment, there are joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, waxing and waning.

There are also countless schemes, conspiracies, and covert struggles.

But these could not affect the Nascent Soul Venerables who stood high above a domain.

Nor could they affect the Zhou Family, whose strength was growing ever stronger and whose status was becoming increasingly transcendent.

Likewise, they could not affect Mo Xuan, whose strength had reached the peak of the Soul Transformation Realm.

"Fellow Daoist He."

At the peak of Suqing Peak, Xuanqing Sect, Qingzhou, Nancang Domain.

A black serpentine phantom materialized.

Opposite the serpentine phantom,

Sat a white-robed Middle-aged Cultivator with a dignified countenance.

"Fellow Daoist Mo."

The dignified Middle-aged Cultivator in white robes revealed a slight smile.

Beside the man and the snake,

A figure in purple robes sat quietly.

Mo Xuan glanced at Zhou Xiutong, who was pretending to be serious, and didn't bother with her.

"Fellow Daoist He, do you have any thoughts of going to the Upper Realm?"

Mo Xuan paused.

He asked the white-robed Middle-aged Cultivator, whom he had known for many years.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, do you mean..."

Upon hearing this, Venerable He Run was startled.

He thought of the ancient tower suppressed in the center of Two Realms Mountain, and the scenes that had occurred in Nancang Domain back then.

But it was only for a moment.

Venerable He Run erased that thought.

From what he knew,

Fellow Daoist Mo would never follow the old path of Old Man Tianji, who had been defeated by him.

By now,

Venerable He Run naturally understood many hidden secrets.

He knew that far above endless time and space, there existed a world close to Immortals.

There, countless powerful individuals resided, a place that made one yearn to go.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, is there another method?"

Venerable He Run's expression shifted slightly as he asked Mo Xuan.

"Indeed."

"However, I am not entirely confident."

"And it will still require some time."

The black snake shadow nodded.

With a thought,

A light screen appeared in his mind.

"Ding~"

By today,

He had already reached the threshold for another breakthrough.

Another step forward would be the Void Refining Realm.

At that time,

Perhaps this incomplete world would find it difficult to accommodate a Void Refining Great Power.

Then, it would be time to depart.

Mo Xuan took a glance.

Then withdrew his thoughts.

He had come here to inform Venerable He Run of this matter.

After all, they had been acquainted for so many years.

It was naturally better to inform him of such an important matter in advance.

As his strength increased,

The connection he could perceive became clearer.

Although he didn't know if it was the Chaofeng Ancient Realm,

The world where the strong individual who could take Zhou Liye from this Realm resided must certainly be extraordinary.

Unless absolutely necessary,

He didn't want to take risks.

After all, his needs were special.

As long as the Zhou Family continuously grew stronger, his strength would continuously increase.

If he could stay in the Mingyang Realm until Immortal Ascension,

He would wish for nothing more.

However, by that time, the Mingyang Realm would probably have shattered into many pieces.

"Upper Realm..."

Although Venerable He Run was already somewhat moved,

There were clearly some ties holding him back.

On the other side,

The purple-robed girl looked at Venerable He Run with anticipation mixed with a hint of nervousness.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, the Disciples of my sect are not yet accomplished, and I'm afraid I still need to protect them for a while..."

After a moment of silence,

Venerable He Run said with some regret.

If both he and Mo Xuan were to leave,

The Mingyang Realm would surely undergo great changes.

At that time, with the current Xuanqing Sect, it would probably be difficult to withstand the changes.

Although Fellow Daoist Mo's intention was certainly to take the entire Zhou Family with him,

The Xuanqing Sect was, after all, not like the Zhou Family.

The sect Disciples had extensive connections.

Moreover, with their current strength, even if they went to the Upper Realm, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in such a place.

Furthermore, this Mingyang Realm always needed someone to guard it.

"Fellow Daoist He..."

Mo Xuan thought for a moment, but did not try to persuade him further.

Those who cultivated to this Realm were all individuals with firm resolve.

Once a decision was made, it was difficult to change.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, I imagine there are also those in the Zhou Family who are unwilling to leave."

"At that time, with the Xuanqing Sect's care, Fellow Daoist can also be free from worries."

Venerable He Run looked at Mo Xuan, who seemed to want to speak but hesitated.

He laughed openly.

"That's true..."

Mo Xuan nodded.

After all, it was hard to leave one's homeland.

There were indeed Disciples in the Zhou Family who were unwilling to leave.

They were all elderly individuals who had reached the end of their cultivation path.

"Moreover, even if we miss this opportunity, I believe that you and I will meet again."

Venerable He Run appeared full of confidence.

This confidence came from himself,

And even more so from the fact that he was the one who had witnessed everything from the beginning until now.

Only he truly knew the extraordinary nature of Fellow Daoist Mo before him.

"Indeed."

"With our abilities, why worry about not meeting again?"

Mo Xuan laughed heartily.

The man and the snake conversed for a long time.

The black snake shadow disappeared.

At the peak of Suqing Peak,

Only the purple-robed girl remained, lost in thought, looking sadly at the dignified white-robed Middle-aged Cultivator.

She was indebted to her clan and her master.

If possible, she naturally wished for a solution that would satisfy both sides.

But now, it seemed unlikely... At the bottom of Cangyuan River, in the Azure Dragon Domain of the Xuanming Great Domain.

The Black Giant Serpent's mind stirred.

A profound and ethereal aura subtly emanated from its colossal serpentine body.

The bottom of Cangyuan River fell into silence.

From this day onward,

Within the Zhou Family,

Various actions subtly began.

It seemed they were preparing for something.

Time flowed slowly.

In the blink of an eye,

Two years had already passed.

The bottom of Cangyuan River, which had been silent for a long time, now showed some movement.
