128: Dingxianyou

Looking at the three options presented before him, Su Xuan's eyes lit up.

All three talents could be said to be extremely powerful.

However, compared to the other two, Celestial Travel was undoubtedly superior.

A talent that allows one to move as they please and traverse space at will.

The possibilities for application were endless... Su Xuan did not hesitate and immediately spoke, "I choose the Celestial Travel talent."

[You open your eyes, and what greets your sight is a jade-green Gu worm.]

[Powerful spatial energy coils around it.]

[The moment you see it, an indescribable bond forms between you.]

[With a thought, you appear in the Zhen Guan Princes Mansion.]

[Everything here is exactly as you remember it, still so peaceful and serene.]

[Your Divine Sense sweeps across the mansion, and you immediately discover Feng Xuanji's whereabouts.]

[You instantly appear behind her and begin soul searching.]

[But who would have thought that this soul search would still fail.]

[Feng Xuanji seems to have many layers of memory in her mind, and all you can glimpse is the current Xiao Su period.]

[This causes a flicker of doubt in your eyes.]

[Just as you intend to forcefully delve deeper into Feng Xuanji's mind, an ominous premonition rises in your heart.]

[In an instant, a phantom image appears above her head.]

[This person is clad in pale red robes, with hair reaching her waist and a charming smile playing on her lips.]

[Yet, those eyes are chilling beyond words.]

[Even though you now possess the cultivation of the third layer of Profound Immortal, your heart trembles the moment you see her.]

["How can the Ancient Spirit World have a native Profound Immortal?"]

["Which Venerable do you serve?"]

[Her words are like enchanting immortal music, making you feel compelled to spill all your secrets.]

[Fortunately, your willpower is extremely firm.]

[The instant you were momentarily enchanted by her, your eyes cleared.]

[You do not speak, merely observing the red phantom quietly.]

[Because your Crisis Awareness did not send a warning for a long time, you are certain that even if the person before you is an enemy and not a friend, they cannot cause you any harm.]

[Sure enough.]

[After the two of you stare at each other for a moment, the red phantom is the first to speak: "This Reincarnation body belongs to Xingxu Immortal Venerable of the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace. No matter who you are, you must not harm her in the slightest."]

["Otherwise... you will be making an enemy of my Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace!"]

[The phantom's words are as cold as winter wind and snow.]

[You smile faintly and outwardly agree to her words.]

["Xingxu Immortal Venerable, huh..."]

[After the phantom disappears, a hint of realization flashes in your eyes.]

[Xingxu Immortal Venerable Cultivates the Order Law, one of the top-tier Laws, and is also one of the founders of the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace.]

[If Feng Xuanji has this relationship with the Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace, it would explain her situation in the Upper Realm.]

[But why would so many Upper Realm Cultivators extend their reach into the Ancient Spirit World?]

[What exactly does the Ancient Spirit World possess that warrants their attention?]

[All at once, the doubts in your heart multiply.]

[But now that you have become the Lord of the Ancient Spirit World, everything here can be clearly known by you.]

[Aside from the massive formation covering the outside world, the current Ancient Spirit World has absolutely nothing related to the Upper Realm.]

[However...]

[The Heaven Evolution Immortal Palace is a top faction in the Heavenly Wasteland Great World, yet the Ancient Spirit World Ascends to the Xuanhuang Great World.]

[Why would they ignore their own Lower Realms and specifically extend their hands here?]

[All these factors lead you to conclude that the Ancient Spirit World must contain something unknown to you that deeply attracts the attention of these Immortal Venerable Cultivators.]

[A thousand thoughts flash through your mind.]

[But in the end, you still fix your gaze upon Feng Xuanji.]

[Because only she can let you know the schemes of the Upper Realm Immortal Venerables.]

[However, you do not immediately do anything to Feng Xuanji.]

[Instead, with a shift of thought, you instantly arrive in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm via Celestial Travel.]

[A familiar scene appears before your eyes.]

[You see the liu wei di huang lian.]

[This was the first "Opportunity" you encountered after coming to this world.]

[Although it is insignificant now, it still stirs a slight ripple in your heart.]

[Your Divine Sense covers the entire Secret Realm.]

[You instantly locate Tang Chuan's trail.]

[He is still the same Body Tempering Cultivator, yet with just a thought, you instantly turn him into dust.]

[You then repeatedly activate Celestial Travel, appearing throughout the Ancient Spirit World.]

[You confiscated all the "Opportunities" from your memory and killed Ying Lan, the Son of Luck who was fading into obscurity.]

[When you return to the Zhen Guan Princes Mansion, time has already advanced to the second year.]

[This time, you do not soul search Feng Xuanji. Instead, you disguise yourself and gift her an immortal technique and some Cultivation resources.]

[Then, you find Ye Honglian in the same manner.]

[This time, you do not take him as a disciple.]

[Because you discovered that after Jiang Wanjie's memory Awakening, the cultivation he provides you through the Power of Leadership, though still present, continuously declines.]

[Given your current Realm, continuing to nurture him would be somewhat counterproductive.]

[Therefore, after weighing the matter for a moment, you merely gave him some guidance to form a good connection, and then left the Ancient Spirit World.]

[The third year.]

[You activate Celestial Travel and arrive in the Xuanhuang Great World.]

[However, Celestial Travel's cross-Realm teleportation consumes a massive amount of your Immortal Qi.]

[You spend several days to recover most of your Immortal Qi.]

[Since you cannot determine whether the root cause of your inability to Cultivate in the previous simulation was the Heaven and Earth Longevity Art or the Heaven-Defying Pearl, you do not seek them out this time. Instead, you travel elsewhere to quietly await the appearance of the Year Wheel Gift.]

[The twelfth year.]

[The notification for the first Year Wheel Gift appears.]

[Following the guidance, you quickly find a Sword Tomb in the Void Realm.]

[A stone tablet stands before the Sword Tomb, upon which two large characters are boldly written—Sword Immortal!]

[Your heart is startled.]

[But after considering that the Opportunity guided by the Year Wheel Gift is at least temporarily safe, you still choose to enter.]

[In an instant.]

[All the immortal swords in the Sword Tomb seem to come alive.]

[They chime loudly, trembling continuously.]

[Your attention is quickly drawn to a black sword among them.]

[However, only after scanning it with your Divine Sense do you realize it is not a black sword.]

[It is a blood sword.]

[It only appears black due to the dense, murderous blood Qi surrounding it.]

[It stands like a sovereign in the Sword Tomb, looking down upon all the other immortal swords.]
