Protagonist:
Shen Yao
Another fifteen years passed, and Fu Zexuan and Fu Zeyu successfully formed their Golden Cores in a Secret Realm of the Tianjian Sect.
Linlang and Jinxi also raised their cultivation to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, beginning to follow their respective masters out to gain experience, preparing for their upcoming Core Formation matters.
Shen Yao's cultivation was still at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but her alchemy had made obvious progress, and the types of pills she refined had increased considerably compared to when she first started.
Since there was truly nothing to do on Lingyun Peak, and because the cultivator exchange conference held in Yunzhong City, Zhongzhou, was still ten years away,
Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan discussed it in private and immediately decided that the two of them would leave the Tianjian Sect first, relying on their own strength to slowly make their way to Yunzhong City, Zhongzhou, to wait and meet up with the others from the Tianjian Sect.
Hearing the news, Zhao Shichao:...
"In my opinion, you two just want to go out; can Lingyun Peak not keep you?"
Zhao Shichao was heartbroken, after all, over these years, Zhao Shichao had mostly interacted daily with them as a couple.
As a result, the good partner wanted to leave early to go to their own world of two, so wouldn't he become a lonely person again?
Shen Yao smiled apologetically, while Fu Hengyan nodded, "We have stayed on Lingyun Peak for several decades, and our four children have all grown up smoothly.
Now that we have time, we go out to look around, merely making up for a bit of regret over these years.
Senior Brother, do we two really have to guard Lingyun Peak for the rest of our lives?"
Fu Hengyan's words left Zhao Shichao speechless, and even Shen Yao was shocked by these words.
This seemed unlike something Fu Hengyan could say, after all, before becoming Dao Companions with her, Fu Hengyan's existence on Lingyun Peak was comparable to an Earthbound Spirit.
Except for necessary outings to carry out Sect Missions, at other times he was either cultivating or cultivating, with not a bit of private time at all.
Such a person could now speak words completely contrary to his earlier behavior.
It could only be said that environment and time truly could change a person's mindset.
Fu Hengyan previously felt that cultivation was best, wishing he could spend every day of his time on cultivation and comprehension.
But after later meeting Shen Yao and living together, Fu Hengyan was willing to accompany Shen Yao to fulfill her wish of touring mountains and waters, traveling across the Cultivation Continent.
This arrangement of leaving the Tianjian Sect early and traveling across mountains and rivers all the way to Yunzhong City, Zhongzhou, was more what Shen Yao wished for in her heart than what Fu Hengyan himself thought.
Zhao Shichao waved his hand and laughed freely, "Since you want to go, then go.
However, regarding the children, you still need to explain things properly to them.
The time for the Tianjian Sect to go to Yunzhong City will not change; you must not delay too much on the road and be later than us."
Fu Hengyan replied, "If we go a bit earlier, we might run into Second Senior Brother and the others."
Li Siyuan had been outside slaying demons and monsters without returning since parting with them in Yunwu City.
But over these years, disciples of Lingyun Peak constantly took on Sect Missions to go hunt demons and monsters.
These people more or less had some contact with Li Siyuan outside.
Plus Li Siyuan's relatively timely letters of safety, everyone could know the other's latest progress.
Now Li Siyuan was frequently active at the border between Zhongzhou and Dongzhou.
If Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan were lucky, they might truly meet Li Siyuan.
Perhaps they could even partner up and go to Yunzhong City, Zhongzhou together.
After all, Li Siyuan was also on the personnel list for this trip to Zhongzhou.
"Seeing Siyuan, persuade him not to always put himself in danger.
Now the master can't manage him on Lingyun Peak, but once Yunzhong City opens, with the master's temper, he will definitely not let him off."
Zhao Shichao sighed, thinking to himself that neither of these two junior brothers was one who could put people at ease.
Sigh, what the master said was indeed right; he was destined to be a worrier.
Fu Hengyan naturally would not refuse this; anyway, some words he could bring, but whether Second Senior Brother listened or not was not something Fu Hengyan could manage.
After all, over so many years, Li Siyuan's stubborn temper could be called the best on Lingyun Peak.
Fu Hengyan did not think he had any certainty of persuading the other party.
Whether to do or not do things depended entirely on Li Siyuan himself.
Leaving Zhao Shichao's Small Courtyard, Fu Hengyan and Shen Yao did not go back, but instead separately found a few children to talk to.
There was no sentimental farewell, just a simple explanation that they were about to leave and the time and place of their next meeting.
As for the rest?
Given the long lifespan of cultivators, unless encountering some force majeure,
more than ten years of time was not considered long, and it was not as if they could never see each other again, so what was there to be reluctant about.
'Simply overjoyed, finally able to temporarily leave behind a few little drag oil bottles.'
Shen Yao happily packed her luggage for the long journey, while complaining to the system in her mind about the boring time she had spent on Lingyun Peak over these years.
Shen Yao was not truly disliking her own four children as drag oil bottles.
But because the children delayed the arrangement of the travel plan, it indeed troubled Shen Yao.
Now that she could finally temporarily free herself, Shen Yao's whole person radiated a strong sense of happiness from inside out.
Bai Wei and Bai Mei, whom Shen Yao had brought back from Yunwu City in the early years, were also helping to tidy up.
These two definitely would not go along; their own cultivation was still too low, and traveling outside was mostly inconvenient, so now they could only stay in the Small Courtyard to be responsible for guarding.
Even Shen Yao had once seriously considered the future arrangements for Bai Wei and Bai Mei.
But Bai Wei and Bai Mei themselves expressed their stance; with their spiritual roots and aptitude, being able to live in such a safe and comfortable environment as now was already a great fortune, and they should not be greedy for more.
Regarding this, Shen Yao could only choose to let them act according to their own wishes; a person should be responsible for themselves, regardless of right or wrong.
Because of this departure, when she returns it might be more than ten years later.
Shen Yao had many situations to consider; not only did she fill both her storage ring and storage bracelet with various items, she also spent Fu Hengyan's sect contribution points at the sect main hall to exchange for a pair of storage earrings as a supplement.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" The system looked at Shen Yao's whole body glowing with golden light, feeling this was simply the attire of a nouveau riche.
Shen Yao didn't care, humming a little tune as she examined herself front and back in front of a water mirror condensed with spiritual power.
"Too much? These are our confidence for going to other worlds in the future."
"If I weren't worried that exchanging too much at once would cause unnecessary trouble, I wouldn't easily stop."
The Tianjian Sect was not entirely harmonious and friendly; various conflicts of interest were rampant within the sect.
One could only say that compared to other sects it might be superficial harmony but hidden discord; the Tianjian Sect currently still maintained a relatively peaceful situation.
Behind Shen Yao was Lingyun Peak; she could act as she pleased but had to consider the overall situation.
Fu Hengyan's sect contribution points were real estate accumulated over many years and never touched.
As the other party's Dao Companion, using a bit based on her identity was normal.
But one must absolutely not overdo it; otherwise, certain people waiting to catch Lingyun Peak's mistakes would use a phrase of failing to distinguish public from private to disgust them.
It wouldn't affect anything, it would just make people feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Crack—
The water mirror shattered in response, scattering like specks of starlight throughout the entire space.
Shen Yao inserted a Butterfly Love Flower Hairpin Artifact horizontally at the side of her head.
A slight tremor, as if a butterfly had flown out, and even a faint fresh fragrance could be smelled at the tip of her nose.
This hairpin was a defensive magic artifact personally refined by Fu Hengyan for her.
After activation, a spirit power shield appearing out of thin air could completely wrap her inside, and could also guarantee it would not shatter within a dozen moves of a Golden Core True Person's attack.
This was Shen Yao's life-saving artifact, and Shen Yao had no fewer than ten such Butterfly Love Flower artifacts all over her body.
Pushing open the room door, coming out of the room, Shen Yao quickly walked two steps to Fu Hengyan's side, her skirt hem swaying and dancing under her feet, shining in the sunlight.
Fu Hengyan opened his mouth, "Packed properly?"
Shen Yao nodded, "Let's go."
The two smiled at each other, turned around, and left this small courtyard where they had lived for several decades.
……
"Who just flew out?"
"Coming down from the peak top, it should be which Uncle Master."
"Sigh, being able to walk on empty air without a magic artifact, truly makes us envy."
"Work hard at cultivation, one day we will also be able to do this."
"People like us must certainly do our best; why aren't you practicing quickly, be careful the master comes over to scold you and me."
"The master is still teaching Junior Martial Sister at the Patriarch's side; where would he have time to pay attention to you and me."
"Who knows, Junior Martial Sister is ice-snow intelligent; perhaps she will be back in a while."
"……"
Fu Hengyan brought Shen Yao flying through the air; below, juniors were discussing in a clamor.
They were several disciples recently accepted by Zhao Shichao, looking round-headed, round-brained, round-bellied, quite having a cute and round contrast temperament.
A gentle breeze brushed over her hair strands, blowing up the sideburn hair by her temples; Shen Yao leaned against Fu Hengyan's body, and in no time at all, the two arrived at the transmission array before the Tianjian Sect Central Dian Dian.
Here were all one-way transmission magic arrays transmitted to the ten commanderies under the Tianjian Sect's jurisdiction.
Compared to Fu Hengyan and Shen Yao relying on their own flight, sitting in the transmission array was still more convenient and quick.
"Fu Zhenren"
The disciple guarding outside the main hall saw Fu Hengyan come in and hurriedly clasped his hands to greet him.
"Go to Yue Luo City in Luoxing Commandery"
"One hundred spirit stones per time"
Spiritual light flashed in his hand; one hundred bright, crystal-clear spirit stones, each no bigger than a thumb, appeared in the other person's embrace.
Fu Hengyan had one hand behind his back; Shen Yao held his other arm with both hands, resting her head against Fu Hengyan's shoulder.
"Fu Zhenren, please"
The number of spirit stones was correct without error or omission; that disciple led Fu Hengyan and the two of them to a light pillar closest to the inner side, activating the jade talisman in his hand.
The light pillar instantly brightened, extending outward until it wrapped Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan.
Shen Yao felt her vision was somewhat dizzy, but in the blink of an eye, the people had changed places.
"Go out straight ahead, keep going forward, and you can see Yue Luo City."
"If going to other cities, you can choose the Luoxing Commandery Map yourself to facilitate selection."
A clear and pleasant female voice came from beside Shen Yao's ear; Shen Yao raised her head to look, and saw a jade magic artifact no bigger than a palm, shaped like a morning glory, suspended above her head, constantly sending out information in all directions.
The information repeated three times in succession, then returned to silence.
This is?
"An amplifying jade plate used to explain transmission rules; as long as it is a Tianjian Sect transmission array, one will be placed to remind cultivators coming over to simply understand the surrounding situation."
Fu Hengyan pulled Shen Yao out of the transmission array; the two quickly bypassed the empty main hall with no one in it.
Outside the main hall, there was still no one, but above the sky, various magic arrays had been activated, like large circles enclosing small circles; five-colored magic arrays were bright and clear, enveloping the entire surrounding space within them.
"No one?"
Shen Yao turned her head to look at Fu Hengyan; she thought that for a place like this, not to mention arranging a High Person to guard it, there should at least be someone responsible for receiving them.
As a result, the surroundings were actually empty; apart from magic arrays, there were only magic arrays.
Fu Hengyan took it as a matter of course, "On the Tianjian Sect's territory, no one will dare to come and offend."
That is no different from seeking death; moreover, this is merely the Tianjian Sect's one-way transmission array, and the probability of it being normally activated is relatively low. To wait outside the transmission array to ambush someone — who knows how long one would have to wait.
"That map of Luoxing Commandery."
With no one around, how could she buy it? She had thought that by coming out she would run into people, and conveniently ask about interesting places around Yue Luo City and even Luoxing Commandery.
Making a trip out, one must certainly wander enough to make it worthwhile.
Fu Hengyan casually pointed forward. "There is a puppet there that can communicate and trade on its own."
Shen Yao looked in the direction he indicated and discovered that there was indeed a wooden puppet existing at the spot Fu Hengyan pointed to.
She let go of Fu Hengyan's arm and ran over alone. Shen Yao spent five spirit stones and exchanged them for a map that can display the entire territory of Luoxing Commandery in 3D.
"Cheng Qi, we can go to Yue Luo City first, then take the escort agency to Qingfeng Gully, which is nearest to Yue Luo City.
Then from Qingfeng Gully transfer to the not-far Changfeng Ferry, Bichen City, Leiguang Island."
Shen Yao pointed out five cities on Luoxing Commandery, all on a straight line and also the nearest route out of Luoxing Commandery.
Of course, the map of Luoxing Commandery is densely packed; the various names on it are countless.
Shen Yao selected this route on the basis of ignoring some small and medium towns.
If one were to include all of them, one could only say the place names would be richer by several times.
Fu Hengyan glanced at the map Shen Yao held in her hand and nodded.
The two walked left and right outside the hall, and finally walked out from the interior of the building filled with arrays.
"There is another even more sophisticated illusion array outside?"
Shen Yao turned her head, gazing at the empty ground, somewhat dazed.
Clearly they had just come out from inside the array, yet turning around they could not find it again.
And with Shen Yao's Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation realm, she could not sense the slightest discrepancy.
This — the Array Master who laid out the arrays for the Tianjian Sect has some skill.
Fu Hengyan pulled Shen Yao along, and the two walked while speaking. "Illusion Array Stones were used as the formation eyes.
At the same time, a transfer array is also laid out here, ensuring that the position changes every few months to prevent someone from truly lying in wait."
The time of the array's transfer is not fixed; short as a few days, long as a few months. No one can calculate any pattern within it.
The Tianjian Sect has always done its utmost to protect the safety of its disciples.
Nothing is absolute; besides the sect's own measures, disciples riding the transmission array themselves will also be extra careful.
This time, when Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan came out it was relatively safe; there were no traces of any ambush in the surroundings.
Walking onto the official road toward Yue Luo City, Shen Yao lamented that storage methods cannot hold living things; otherwise they could ride some travel tools.
Unlike now, Shen Yao could only take out her own palanquin-shaped flying artifact, pull Fu Hengyan to sit in the spacious interior filled with spiritual energy, and close her eyes to enjoy it.
