Chapter 231: Return to the Vast World

The power of the Heavenly Dao Divine Office is about to dissipate.

Lin Chuan used his final great power to sever the karma between the outside world and this place.

Qing Fan, who has slept for an unknown number of years, still needs some time to truly awaken, but it won't be long.

Lin Chuan can already sense Qing Fan's rebirth.

"It's time to go."

After completing everything, he left Shenshan satisfied.

A seal left by Yang Zu still remains on Shenshan, so there is no need to worry about other beings intruding.

Outside Shenshan, Lin Chuan waved his empty hands.

Each time he enjoys great power and then returns to his weak self, a vague sense of emptiness follows.

"When will I truly be able to take that step?"

Legend says the First Realm is still an extremely distant gap from the Wangxian Realm.

"Sister should be fine over there, right?"

Lin Chuan sensed that sister Lin Yangyang has already returned to the Purple Star Emperor Sect.

Ye Xue and the dragon clan are in opposing ideologies, but Yang Zu, within the Purple Star Emperor Sect, represents a legacy of spiritual will.

From the words and deeds of the current sect founder Hao Xuan Jiao Zu of the Purple Star Emperor Sect, one can see that Yang Zu still holds a lofty position there.

If Lin Yangyang were to reveal her identity, the Purple Star Emperor Sect would surely welcome her with ceremony.

"Better to find Ye Xue first."

Lin Chuan believes his sister has her own arrangements and does not need his interference.

……

Dao Tian Zhou.

Yun Zhi Yi, long awakened from the dream-cycle, stared blankly at the Heavenly Dome.

"So many Pure World White Lotus."

"Such a dense qi fortune."

"Did a great being snatch all the Pure World White Lotus from the Fo Men holy site Golden Spirit Mountain?"

"If I could have this kind of qi fortune, how wonderful it would be."

Yun Zhi Yi felt quite envious.

She wanted to progress so much.

"My strength is completely insufficient; with the world's qi divided among the Three Teachings, the worldly situation is already set."

"Alone, I find it too hard to continue on the path of qi fortune."

"But what else can be done?"

She is innately skilled in this path, while her cultivation talent in other areas is utterly lacking.

One cannot abandon the fundamentals for the trivial.

"Take it slow; my progress has slowed, and the Witch and the Tyrannosaur Girl certainly aren't getting any better."

"At least I received many insights from the 'Cloud' in the dream."

"With that insight, as long as an opportunity arises, I can reach the summit; I will certainly wait for that opportunity to come!"

As the insights gained in Dao Tian Zhou dwindled, Yun Zhi Yi prepared to leave.

"First go back to see A Chuan?"

She knows clearly that this trip is not only to meet A Chuan.

Also Mo Sangyu, Tu Shan Jiao Jiao; in the dream, her relationship with the two women eased.

At this moment, she cannot even describe her own feelings.

"Besides the Witch and the Fox Spirit, that little girl Lü Ya… if I'm not mistaken, should be Lin Chuan's destined Sword Spirit."

"I also don't know whether the Tyrannosaur Girl appears later."

After all, that dream also contained the dragon clan.

Yun Zhi Yi let out a long sigh, "After this meeting, perhaps everything will be different."

……

Demon Abyss.

Mo Sangyu, witnessing the conclusion of the earth‑shattering battle over the Heavenly Dome, murmured softly.

"After the White Lotus was removed, my sense of the Hong Lian grew stronger."

"The two should be born from the same root."

"Is the master of the Hong Lian and White Lotus truly my husband?"

Mo Sangyu was unsure, but she vaguely sensed that her husband Lin Chuan's control over the Hong Lian far exceeds his.

The Hong Lian leans toward demonic nature.

Achieving this without practicing the demonic path is very difficult.

"The result will be known soon."

Mo Sangyu did not dwell on it.

At this moment, the dream, long without ripples, stirred again.

【You and the Sword Spirit Maiden have drifted in the Chaos Universe for a very long time.】

【You even began to worry whether you could find the way back.】

【The Sword Spirit Maiden remains very optimistic, her endless years as lively as when first met, firmly believing she will find Lin Chuan.】

【Perhaps it is destiny's favor that sustains your perseverance.】

At a certain moment, you sensed Guidance from the Great World.

You let out a sigh of relief.

The plan succeeded!

Human Ancestor First Generation True Ancestor Hong, Chi, and Xi all ascended to Immortal, using Human Race Fortune as a guide, formed Guidance for you within the Boundless Chaos.

You believe that as long as you return to the Great World and discuss with the Three Ancestors and the Empress, you will surely devise a countermeasure.

You are certain you can find the destiny that Chuan bears!

"Sword Spirit, I have sensed the Great World's Guidance; let's go."

You lead the Sword Spirit following the Guidance, passing through the Chaos Universe once more, but this time with purpose.

After a long while, you return to the Great World.

As you approach the World barrier, three figures appear before you: the Three Ancestors Hong, Chi, and Xi.

"Sangyu Sao Sao, you're back; have you found Chuan and the Human Ancestor?" Chi asked anxiously.

"The matter is somewhat complicated."

You say gravely, "First return, and I will explain to you slowly."

The Sword Spirit also manifests at this moment.

Hong, Chi, and Xi have all seen the Sword Spirit, when the Sword Spirit reflected the soul space onto the Great World, creating projections of the Ten Great Ancient Gods.

Seeing the Sword Spirit return alone, the Three Ancestors sensed something amiss.

Hong asked, "Sangyu Sao Sao, has Chuan… already fallen?"

"This incarnation of Chuan has indeed fallen, but he has not truly left us,"

You take out the Soul Lamp, "Its light still glows faintly; this is the best proof."

You look at the Sword Spirit Maiden, "Sword Spirit, tell the Three Ancestors what happened; they are all Chuan's brothers and will help us."

"Hmm."

The Sword Spirit recounted the whole chain of events.

From Chuan leaving the Great World and reuniting with the Human Ancestor, to encountering Black Mist, receiving the Collective Will of All Beings' blessing under the Guidance of the clouds, stepping into the Ancient God Realm, then rescuing the Ten Great Ancient Gods of the old era, and together with the ancient gods leading the Black Mist away.

Finally, the Human Ancestor narrated Chuan's origin.

He said that Chuan also bears a destiny completely different from this world.

"I see."

The Three Ancestors looked thoughtful.

They said cautiously, "Finding Chuan is essential; although the Black Mist has been guided away, it remains a huge hidden danger."

"Perhaps one day, the Black Mist will rise again."

Even the Human Ancestor, the other ancient gods, and Chuan cannot defeat the Black Mist; with your current strength, encountering the Black Mist leads only to being devoured.

Chuan's destiny, which differs starkly from this world, may also be the dawn of your own fate.

Saving Chuan is also your own redemption.

It is the redemption of all beings in the Great World!

"We will definitely find Chuan."

You say firmly, "By the way, the Empress—where has she gone?"
