I’ll take you to the cafeteria for food!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no cafeteria inside the inner sect, because inner sect disciples had sufficient cultivation to practice Grain Grain Bigu, and the Inner Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion provided them free one bottle of Grain Grain Bigu Pill each month—building a cafeteria made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You say you want better food? Either go down to the outer sect cafeteria, or find your own spiritual chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Chi Jiuyu, this was utterly bizarre!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could anyone live without eating meals! When she became sect head, she would definitely build a cafeteria inside the inner sect too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it would be bigger than the outer sect cafeteria!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All procedures are done. I’m not hungry.” This answered her previous questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Not hungry? Still, eat a little—I tell you, the outer sect cafeteria food is delicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu led Zhang Yunlu downward; Zhang Yunlu followed behind her, pulling out her phone to send Zhang Xiu a message informing him she had completed her enrollment procedures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished typing, Zhang Xiu sent a message first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re texting?” Chi Jiuyu curiously leaned over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person truly had no sense of boundaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yunlu didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xiu’s message was long, but mainly just to clarify a few things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, how he met Old Jiang as a child, trained his body with him, and now had reached Soul Transformation realm, planning to take Xu Xing’s recommendation letter to the Dragon Elephant Qingtian  Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents’ deaths were not simple—they seemed tied to very high-level matters, and over the years, two Soul Transformation cultivators had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the two siblings, urging her to be cautious when traveling outside, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu scratched her head: “How old is your brother again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s over thirty years older than me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over thirty years… so that means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Soul Transformation cultivator at fifty? Pretty impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother was Soul Transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her silence, Chi Jiuyu assumed she was worried about the two Soul Transformation cultivators causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, just two Soul Transformation cultivators? This is the Sword Sect—it’s perfectly safe,” Chi Jiuyu said carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because she herself hadn’t yet advanced to Soul Transformation and couldn’t guarantee it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not worried about that. I never knew my brother was Soul Transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that? Don’t all those old schemers in the Supreme Dao Sect do the same?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she suddenly felt something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Yunlu, do you have any powerful family heirloom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Zhang Yunlu shook her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm~ But my parents left me this—I don’t even know if it counts as powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out the red jade from her storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had mostly worn it close to her body before, but since the strange Xiao Fan demanded she swallow it, she had stored it in her storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… ” Looking at the red jade, Chi Jiuyu fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—you actually do have a family heirloom! By now they had reached the foot of the mountain, where two tourists stood beside the path, taking photos with cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Look at that red list—has the top name changed?!” Hearing this, Zhang Yunlu also looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, atop the list shimmering with divine radiance and blazing red light, was a brand-new name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu, Qi Refining Ninth Layer · Wu Li. She had made the list herself? “Wu Li sword cultivators? Normal. She won’t stay on long,” another tourist said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators who achieved Wu Li typically face no barriers to Foundation Establishment, so they appear on the list only briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, soon she’ll be on the Foundation Establishment list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the inner sect of the Sword Sect, halfway up the mountain beneath the Sword Lord’s Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lush grove of green bamboo thrived, its stems glossy, its emerald leaves rustling in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the grove’s center lay an open clearing, where a delicate bamboo hut stood quietly, beside a small pond with crystal-clear water, in which a few spiritual fish drifted slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bamboo hut was built by the Sword Lord himself, and no one was permitted to enter—not even Chi Jiuyu had been inside more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, two figures arrived from outside: Xu Xing and Bie Xuening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, you’re raising spiritual fish again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had once raised a whole pond of fish and given them to her only disciple, who ended up eating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After beating her disciple senseless and hanging her up, Bie Xuening raised a few more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master also loved raising fish,” Xu Xing added, his tone lowering slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two arrived at the pond’s edge; Bie Xuening produced a handful of fish food and scattered it into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously slow-moving spiritual fish, sensing the disturbance, leapt from the surface to compete for the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing watched for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, how often do you feed them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Depends on my mood—sometimes every few days, sometimes every few weeks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spiritual fish truly had strong vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was specially crafted by Sister—its water was crystal-clear, nearly free of impurities, and due to the rules of this location, the fish, even when starving, would never attack each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to survive long-term was to desperately absorb spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under constant spiritual energy erosion, their flesh became incredibly sweet and tender—no wonder Chi Jiuyu couldn’t stop thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After feeding the fish, the two entered the bamboo hut and went to the innermost room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On an altar stood an incense burner and various offerings; on either side, candle stands burned with eternal flames, their wisps of smoke curling upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wall hung a painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In it, a slender old man in a plain white robe stood with his hands behind his back in a bamboo grove, gazing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing stepped forward and performed three deep kowtows, repeating the ritual three times—the full three kneelings and nine prostrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he slowly rise and gaze at the figure in the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Tai Xuan Realm, no one else could bear such reverence from the Sword Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this man in the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……He was his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had saved him from death when he first arrived in this utterly alien world and bestowed upon him his entire cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also one of the founders of the human cultivation system, among the earliest human cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant beyond compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in an accident, to cover their retreat, his master died at the hands of the Cang race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, humanity rose up, exterminating ninety percent of the Cang race; the remaining few escaped under the protection of another Cang ancestral figure into the farthest reaches of the starry void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ze had completely seized the past through heavenly favor, making the past timeline His domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Xu Xing could not mend the regret or alter anything through time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second update; another one coming later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-20T06:44:12.591Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","42aed76e398882506370faa9b8f07f2fa5bbfe98f04b9d36ff1e6f0225d389f6","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-101","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-99",648,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancestor-the-times-have-changed-cover.jpg"]
