“I’ve been in seclusion in the tower for years, constantly worrying about your safety and longing for your return every day.”
Jiang Xuelan stood quietly on the other side, her gentle gaze falling on David’s face, and nodded softly.
Only Su Qingyuan, who was always dignified and composed, looked at David and asked softly, “Is there any progress on the matter of Wan Jianxing?”
David’s smile faded slightly, and he slowly shook his head: “We’ve found the remnant soul of Wan Jianxing.”
To save him from the void prison, we must find the Old Monster of Xuanxu and use the origin of the void to reshape his physical body.
Unfortunately, after searching back and forth in the void for a long time, I couldn’t find any trace of this person. I only picked up some beast cores and a strange jade ring.
As he spoke, David raised his hand and took out the bluish-gray jade ring from his storage ring. The three-headed, six-armed beast pattern on the ring lay dormant, and at this moment, without any chaotic energy being injected, it was quiet and showed no signs of anything unusual.
The three women gathered around to examine it closely, probing repeatedly, but could only sense an ancient and powerful force sealed deep within the ring; they couldn’t decipher the runes on it.
“This object exudes an ancient and malevolent aura; it is best not to activate it lightly.”
Su Qingyuan frowned slightly and gave him some instructions.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
David put the jade ring back into his storage ring, and then a smile reappeared. He glanced at the three beauties in front of him and said with a hint of cynicism, “I’m exhausted from fighting and traveling through the void all the way.”
“It just so happens that the three of you have just broken through to a higher level of cultivation, your foundations are newly established, and your realms are still somewhat unstable. Perfect, I’ll accompany you to stabilize your cultivation.”
On the main peak of the new Wanfa Heavenly Palace, an elegant Yunhua Palace was built. The palace floor was paved with warm jade, and a spirit-gathering array was set up around it, so that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would continuously gather here.
The palace was draped with soft curtains, and the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, effectively isolating the area from outside prying eyes.
As night fell, only four people remained in the hall.
Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue were already used to it and remained poised and graceful.
Su Qingyuan, however, had devoted her life to cultivating the Dao and was in charge of the affairs of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace. She had always adhered to etiquette and was aloof and self-possessed, and had never experienced such a scene before.
She stood to the side, her fingertips slightly clenching the hem of her dress, her ears turning slightly red, her expression flustered and awkward, her whole being exuding an air of restraint and shyness.
Ling Xiyue saw through it at a glance, chuckled, and took Su Qingyuan’s hand, gently advising, “Sister Qingyuan, there’s no need to be so reserved.”
David’s original Daoist essence can help us refine our Dao foundation and solidify our newly broken-through realm; this is also a form of cultivation.
Jiang Xuelan also stepped forward, gently accompanying him and offering soft advice.
Su Qingyuan looked up at David and saw that his gaze was gentle and there was no mockery or frivolity in it. Then, thinking of the years they had gone through life and death together, her defenses slowly crumbled.
With the guidance and support of Jiang Xuelan and Ling Xiyue, she gradually let go of her inhibitions and opened up little by little.
The spiritual energy surged within the hall. David circulated his Chaos Origin and merged with the three women, using the dual cultivation method to help them refine their Dao foundation and stabilize their newly broken-through Immortal Lord cultivation.
For several days in a row, David stayed in Yunhua Palace, spending his days with the three women and his nights in revelry.
On the sacred mountain, the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace was in perfect order. Offerings from various sects were continuously sent into the treasury. Su Qingyuan had arranged for the sect elders to handle various affairs in advance, so she did not need to be distracted.
He lived a carefree and leisurely life, but in his spare time, David still couldn’t let go of the matter of the Old Monster Xuanxu.
That morning, sunlight streamed through the windows of Yunhua Palace.
David leaned back on the soft couch, one hand behind his head, looking at the three women beside him. His fingertips unconsciously tapped the jade couch as he slowly spoke: “I plan to issue a bounty order, which will spread throughout the entire Twenty-Seventh Heaven.”
“Anyone who knows anything about the Old Monster of Xuanxu, or where he is hiding, will be rewarded with a Void Beast Core and top-grade spirit crystals, provided the clues are true. I will not be stingy.”
Su Qingyuan sat up slightly, her black hair falling over her shoulders. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly spoke: “The old monster Xuanxu was already a Celestial King hundreds of thousands of years ago. After so many years, his realm will only be higher.”
The Twenty-Seventh Heaven is the upper limit for the cultivation of Immortal Lords. Cultivators in this realm can hardly step out of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven in their entire lives.
A Celestial King-level figure would never stay in the Twenty-Seventh Heaven for long.
The cultivators here most likely haven’t even heard of the Xuanxu Old Monster’s name, so the bounty order is unlikely to get a response.
