thus, this entrance had naturally become inert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing raised his hand and lightly tapped the air; the space before him rippled like water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the expanding ripples grew hazy and chaotic, as if connecting to another world still in gestation, undifferentiated and formless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in truth, that was exactly what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After I extracted the Sword-Keeping Secret Realm and gave it to Jiuyu, I noticed signs of a new secret realm forming in the ‘void’ left behind by its sudden disappearance,” Xu Xing explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its scale and internal rule refinement fell far short of the Moonshadow Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t mean the newborn realm was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, influenced by the original Moonshadow Secret Realm, once stabilized, it would generate abundant sword-affiliated spiritual iron, spiritual plants, and other cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But such newborn realms are perilous inside, so I sealed it off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I originally intended to give it time to evolve naturally; years later, when my seal weakened, perhaps some young cultivators in need of resources might accidentally enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Bie Xuening nodded slightly but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her younger brother had done far too many such things over the years—nothing surprising anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout history, at least three out of ten lucky cultivators in Taixuan Realm who gained “miraculous encounters” owed it to her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first broke through the Immortal Gate and attained True Immortal status, she had even imitated her brother by setting up numerous legacy caves and spirit herb secret realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first “lucky one” to find her spirit herb secret realm was hunted nearly twenty times in a month, teetering on death dozens of times, due to the ferocious nature of the Supreme Killing Sword Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Ning Ruo took him as a disciple and severed the influence with True Immortal authority did he finally escape the realm’s deadly traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, she quietly reclaimed all her “miraculous encounters” and never again considered such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the newborn secret realm still in gestation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does your brother plan to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I intended to wait for it to evolve naturally, but since both you and I are here today, let’s accelerate the process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Xu Xing stepped forward into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening hesitated not at all and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they crossed the boundary between the mortal world and the secret realm, entering its interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them stretched only chaotic emptiness—no up or down, no east or west; even the concept of “space” had yet to fully form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most skilled “Return to Void” secret realm creation teams in today’s Taixuan Realm would need over a month to stabilize this newborn realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Xu Xing, it was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and slashed forward, level and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening roar, a single line of light blazed forth within the chaotic, misty realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure, brilliant, yet bearing absolute, undeniable, unstoppable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newborn realm, once misty and chaotic, split instantly into two distinct halves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the concept of “space” solidified,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the pure, light yang energy rose and became heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turbid, heavy yin energy sank and congealed into earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it occurred in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing raised his hand again and tapped lightly, as casually as brushing ink on paper; a brilliant point of light suddenly appeared in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft, radiant light poured down, blanketing the entire world, illuminating this newborn realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished, Xu Xing lowered his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening glanced at the barren secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just stabilized, the earth was utterly barren, devoid of any vegetation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Won’t you continue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This level of acceleration is enough,” Xu Xing smiled. “Let it evolve naturally from here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A message alert chimed suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening paused, pulled out her phone, and found full signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her phone had undergone no special modifications—by all logic, a secret realm severed from the mortal world should have zero Spirit Net signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, only one possibility remained—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In accelerating the realm’s gestation, her brother had inadvertently connected the Spirit Net as well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered what future “lucky ones” who entered this realm would think upon discovering that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this thought crossed her mind, she looked at the incoming message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebellious Disciple: “Master, are you and Uncle taking Xiao Yunlu out? \u002FANGRY”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebellious Disciple: “If I hadn’t asked Xiao Yunlu, I wouldn’t have known!!! \u002FRED-FURIOUS SHARK”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two messages later, a melodious ringtone sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are inviting you to a video call.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Bie Xuening casually tapped decline, exited the chat, and put away her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Xu Xing and found he had just lowered his gaze from his screen, meeting her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiuyu seems to be rushing over too. What do you think, Sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think anything. If she wants to come, let her come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening, Third Middle School of Xuanjian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant sunset blazed brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu sat alone on a bench beside the school playground, watching as groups of laughing, chatting figures exited through the school gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This familiar yet alien scene left her momentarily dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, her time at Third Middle School of Xuanjian City—especially the two-plus years of high school—had not been pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her personality was too “isolated”; she had few friends, and her homeroom teacher had been offended by her refusal to attend tutoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after wandering the campus today, an unbidden wave of nostalgia rose within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHHHH—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade of light crashed down with a sonic boom; the shockwave surged outward, lifting fallen leaves from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew~! Finally made it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar voice startled Zhang Yunlu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the air currents settled, Chi Jiuyu stood precisely where the blade had struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister? You really came?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I did!” Chi Jiuyu’s expression brimmed with indignation. “Master and Uncle went out to play and took only you—without even telling me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Master had ever left Sword Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he didn’t even take his most loyal senior disciple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So unfair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, Sister. Master and Uncle said you’ve been busy lately, so they didn’t bring you…” Zhang Yunlu felt guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Busy? I—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu opened her mouth to protest, then suddenly remembered—she herself had told Master she was busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right after the “Master-Disciple Bond” buff had worn off.\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-20T06:44:15.330Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","adcb1b8aea9a4b0332ee40c43ff5b18677cc25b7d38d75e7242a30c08eb68fe4","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-628","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-626",648,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancestor-the-times-have-changed-cover.jpg"]
