Chapter 342: Letter from the Ninth Jing Tu

"Young master, I'm so sleepy."

After walking for a while, Lü Ya rubbed her eyes, yawned, looking extremely drowsy.

You furrowed your brow without a trace, "Could it be that Lü Ya cannot leave here?"

At this moment, you were about to exit Yan Du city.

You looked back toward Lin Fu and saw that the once vibrant Lin Fu was decaying at an astonishing speed.

That vitality turned into a torrent, flooding into Lü Ya's body.

Lü Ya remained oblivious, drowsy and about to fall asleep.

"It seems Lü Ya is the main entity, and that mansion merely exists attached to her." This discovery let out a sigh of relief.

Thus, there was no need to worry about anything happening to Lü Ya.

In front of Yan Du's city gate, you transformed a carriage with Qi, pretended to head far away, and Lü Ya lay in your arms, sinking into deep sleep.

In the next instant, Bai Li Ming appeared inside the carriage.

He looked at you, then at the girl in your arms, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "You kid, impressive."

Bai Li Ming said, "When I went to Lin Fu, I didn't even dare to enter the gate; I felt a strong repulsive will, and then you…"

"You're capable! Truly capable!"

Bai Li Ming seemed to have much to say, but in the end said nothing at all.

After a while, he asked you, "Shu, do you think there's anything abnormal about this girl?"

"Nothing."

You shook your head, "She's fine, I like her."

A few black lines crossed Bai Li Ming's forehead, "That's not what I'm talking about."

He said, "The strangest thing about this girl is that, although she is clearly only a mortal, she can become the sole life under the shadow of An Ying Zhu."

"Why is that so?"

"Can you find the cause? Perhaps this is the chance to save the Jing Tu and defeat An Ying Zhu."

You shook your head, "I don't know either."

"Alright then."

Bai Li Ming didn't pursue further, just gave you a meaning‑laden glance, then the girl in your arms, and promptly left.

Before long, you returned with Lü Ya to the Second Jing Tu world.

Lü Ya slept for a full seven days.

When you were burning with impatience, she awoke.

"Young master… have we arrived?"

Lü Ya groggily opened her eyes, "Did we arrive at the cultivator world?"

"Yes."

You nodded and smiled.

She sat up, a bit excited, "I want to see what the cultivator world is like."

"Come, I'll take you to see."

You once again took Lü Ya's hand.

At this moment, you could not sense her fantasy world; as you expected, her fantasies exist only in the shadow world.

Even only within that tiny capital of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty in Qingyun Prefecture.

You did not tell Lü Ya the truth.

To her, it was merely moving from a mortal world to a world full of cultivators.

"Wow! This is the cultivator world?"

Watching sword‑wielding cultivators soaring, glittering spiritual artifacts, wondrous techniques, Lü Ya gasped, finding everything fresh.

Although the Second Jing Tu world was far less prosperous than the peak of the old era, for Lü Ya, a mortal, it was still like a human paradise.

You spent a few days touring the Second Jing Tu world with Lü Ya.

You soon discovered her curiosity wasn't strong; she had no desire to explore cultivation at all.

She wanted more to cling to you.

Every night, you both released your most primal desires, merging with each other.

Half a month later, you broke through again.

You successfully stepped into the Immortal Ascension Second Realm.

Before the Jing Tu era, this realm was called the True God Realm, representing absolute high‑end combat power.

With your combat power, even among the elders' circle of the Second Jing Tu world, you were an extremely powerful being.

After the breakthrough, you went to Jing Tu Central and found Director Meng Xiuyuan.

He was punished for helping you access the passage to Qingyun Prefecture, being confined by the Fa Zhi Zhang Lao in Jing Tu Central.

"Shu, congratulations, you succeeded."

Seeing you arrive, Meng Xiuyuan smiled, "It seems our judgment was not wrong."

"Thank you, Director Meng."

You bowed in thanks; had it not been for Meng Xiuyuan's help, you might have needed a long time to break into the Immortal Ascension Second Realm.

"I told Senior Bai Li Ming, we will definitely rescue you."

Watching Meng Xiuyuan confined because of you, guilt rose in your heart.

"No need."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, "If you err, you must be punished; this is my responsibility. If I weren't punished, everyone would follow suit, and the Jing Tu would be in danger."

You don't understand and say: "But… what we did is right."

Meng Xiuyuan laughed and said: "One cannot judge right and wrong after the fact; if we are wrong, it will endanger the entire Jing Tu, making us a sinner for all ages."

"I think highly of you, support you, help you, does not mean my actions are right; I should bear the fault."

"You don't need to worry about me."

Meng Xiuyuan willingly accepted confinement at the center of Jing Tu; you could feel his sincere heart, so you no longer disturbed him and bid farewell.

After this, Bai Li Ming and the other Jing Tu guardians no longer came to find you, nor did they concern themselves with Lü Ya, as if they had vanished completely.

You are puzzled, not knowing why this happened.

They should be curious about Lü Ya, the sole life in the Dark Shadow World, so why did they suddenly stop caring?

But curiosity aside, you won't bring trouble upon yourself.

You are happy being with Lü Ya, so you wouldn't bother with outsiders.

In the past you set a goal: to reach the Immortal Third Realm before turning eighteen, to catch up with the strongest Jing Tu guardian.

Originally, with your cultivation, it seemed unlikely.

Lü Ya's arrival gave you hope.

Even if you don't understand why Lü Ya's dual cultivation can make your cultivation skyrocket, she is clearly not a furnace-body saint, just a Mortal.

For this, you even secretly perused a lot of information about 'dual cultivation', making your face flush, yet in the end you still didn't find the reason.

You cannot comprehend, but you immerse yourself in it.

Lü Ya is also very willing.

Since both of you like each other, it doesn't matter.

As your eighteenth birthday approaches, your cultivation rapidly grows, already infinitely close to the Immortal Third Realm.

One day, you received a letter.

The letter was sent to you by the Elders' Group of the Ninth Jing Tu World.

You originally thought the seniors were writing to reminisce, but the letter's content surprised you.

The letter says Elder Fu Yan committed a huge transgression and will be escorted to the First Jing Tu World for punishment.
