Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The result of Shen Yao and Jin Xiu's mother-daughter discussion was that there was no result.

However, with Shen Yao having revealed things in advance, Jin Xiu at least had some mental preparation.

As for that True Person Baili with a special identity, Jin Xiu only thought of him for a moment in her heart, then directly tossed him to the back of her mind and stopped paying attention to him.

After all, Jin Xiu was extremely busy in her daily life; as a genius Medical Cultivator who also worked as an Alchemist, her daily schedule was packed to the brim.

Even if True Person Baili was the Crown Prince of Qian Kingdom, let alone the Emperor of Qian Kingdom, neither could shake Jin Xiu's beloved career in the slightest.

Everyone knows that the five children born to Shen Yao were all career-driven.

……

When the spirit boat flew through layer upon layer of clouds and a massive architectural complex floating among the clouds appeared before everyone's eyes, they knew they had arrived at Yunzhong City.

So this was Yunzhong City, a mysterious city located amidst clouds, mist, smoke, and rain.

Shen Yao's eyes sparkled with wonder; looking at the dreamlike, magnificent silhouette of Yunzhong City, she got up quickly and went to the window to carefully observe and admire it.

Fu Hengyan followed behind her at the same time, "We are going to rest at Piaomiao Sect."

Yunzhong City is where the Exchange Conference begins, and it is also the territory of Piaomiao Sect.

To enter Yunzhong City, one must first obtain permission from Piaomiao Sect.

Because Yunzhong City involves Immortals, countless cultivators have entered Yunzhong City to investigate over the years.

To avoid chaos and trouble, Piaomiao Sect therefore made some restrictions on entry and exit.

Recounting these internal details bit by bit, the two stood by the window, riding the spirit boat beneath them as they flew past Yunzhong City, heading toward Piaomiao Sect behind them, which was even more suffused with Immortal Qi.

At this time, at the entrance of Piaomiao Sect, relevant reception personnel had already appeared.

When Tianjian Sect's spirit boat docked smoothly, a group of cultivators disembarked from the ship and were immediately led to the guest reception hall.

Shen Yao saw herself moving around with the crowd, and finally her footsteps stopped in front of a small courtyard with beautiful mountains and clear waters and lush flowers and plants.

It was the lodging arranged for them by Piaomiao Sect, with identical buildings all around.

The Tianjian Sect cultivators would live in this place called Shijun Ju for the coming period of time.

Having arrived at the destination smoothly, the next was free activity time.

It seemed that dealing with Piaomiao Sect was a matter for the High Level; Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan did not have such a task.

Besides, the two of them came here, neither participating in the competition nor entering the Secret Realm for training; they were purely sightseeing and, by the way, serving as cheerleaders and atmosphere-makers for a few of the children.

Oh, those last two words applied only to Shen Yao; Fu Hengyan would not participate in such things.

"Rest for two days first; when Piaomiao Sect sends over the Jade Tablets, you can enter Yunzhong City."

Fu Hengyan had been to Yunzhong City before, but back then he was either hunting down evil cultivators or capturing members of the Demon Race; there was no such thing as appreciating it with a playful mindset.

Speaking of it, this time could be counted as accompanying Shen Yao to revisit an old place, but Fu Hengyan felt not the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Shen Yao heard she could tour Yunzhong City and was very happy; after all, she came precisely for these mysterious places.

For a cultivator without much strength, hoping Shen Yao would make a breakthrough in her Cultivation Realm was not as good as letting her gain more experience and broaden her horizons.

It was indeed good to come to this Cultivation World where one relies on oneself to pursue the Great Dao of longevity, but knowing something cannot be done and doing it anyway—Shen Yao could not do that.

After briefly resting at Piaomiao Sect for two days, Shen Yao changed into a jie geng woven-dyed long dress and went with Fu Hengyan to Yunzhong City not far away.

Yunzhong City looked mysterious on the outside, but its interior was even more astonishing.

Stepping on transparent stairs, Shen Yao looked left and right, not understanding how this place could allow one to stand in midair without using Spiritual Power.

"The Spiritual Energy in Yunzhong City is richer and purer than outside; people in the Cultivation World call it Immortal Qi."

However, no one had ever seen Immortal Qi, and whether it truly is so is unknown to anyone.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow in explanation of this, thinking to herself that it didn't matter whether these were Immortal Qi or not.

But with Immortal Qi added to Yunzhong City, its reputation and rumors rose even higher; for Piaomiao Sect, it was beneficial and harmless, absolutely a gain.

The buildings in Yunzhong City were hidden among the clouds from beginning to end; as Shen Yao walked along, she even saw buildings floating past before her eyes.

Because she had a passage token in hand, Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan simply, while strolling the streets, did not forget to find a place to stay and rest.

For this, Shen Yao seriously experienced what the rumor of "walking alone in a dream for eight hundred li" meant.

Visiting shops, buying Spiritual Objects, entering Secret Realms—Shen Yao stayed in Yunzhong City for several months, and even when leaving, she did not forget to pull Fu Hengyan along and sigh that this trip was indeed the right choice.

"If we stayed at Lingyun Peak, we wouldn't see such beautiful scenery and legends."

Behind her, Yunzhong City grew farther and farther away; Shen Yao held in her hand Spiritual Objects filling Storage Bags, planning to return and continue distributing them among the few brats at home.

The couple lived freely and unrestrainedly in Yunzhong City, while the few young ones at Piaomiao Sect were not idle either.

As the time of the Exchange Conference drew nearer, many surrounding Sects sent Disciples to come.

To stir up everyone's emotions, Piaomiao Sect simply held a competition ring in advance.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core all had their distributions, not to mention there were rich prizes after winning.

The few brats born to Shen Yao, including the most gentle and quiet Jin Xiu, could not resist going up to exchange a few moves with others; over these days, they had more or less gained something themselves.

Shen Yao occasionally went to take a look; one could only say there were indeed many geniuses in the Cultivation World.

Watching the techniques flying all over the sky and weapons clashing, Shen Yao's heart surged up and down along with them.

It was just a pity that Shen Yao's ability was too poor; she was afraid even exchanging a single move would cause trouble, so in the end she could only pull her own family members along for a thrill.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, Xuan'er and a few others are conducting ring matches at Guyu Tai outside Shijun Ju; please come quickly."

A Transmission Talisman fell before Shen Yao and Fu Hengyan, and Zhao Shichao's unique deep voice drifted out from within.

Hearing that a few of the brats had ring matches today, Shen Yao looked up at Fu Hengyan with bright, sparkling eyes.

Fu Hengyan smiled helplessly, turned around, took Shen Yao, and accelerated toward Shijishi.

By the time the two arrived, the match on the platform was already at its end.

Golden Sword Qi danced across the sky, descending from all directions to slaughter.

Shattered light shone in ten thousand colors, finally stopping steadily less than one fist's distance before that person.

Beneath the entire platform, after a moment of silence, a loud humming quickly erupted.

Fu Zexuan flicked his sleeve and sheathed his sword, "I concede."

He turned and jumped off the platform, and the sword light enveloping the other party vanished in response.

That person looked at Fu Zexuan dryly, and he himself had no face to stay.

"Is he a Personal Disciple of the Wuji Sect?" Shen Yao transmitted to Fu Hengyan from within the crowd.

Before Fu Hengyan could answer, the people around raised their hands and applauded one after another.

It turned out a newcomer had entered the platform; Shen Yao looked at the familiar figure on one side of the platform and felt that her several cubs would probably all have to show their faces.

The facts proved Shen Yao's premonition was not wrong; from Fu Zexuan to Fu Zening, five people all went up to compete in several matches.

The most eye-catching among them was Fu Zening, who could be called a paradigm of defeating an enemy in one move.

The fiery red long sword was like a dragon, among ten thousand, directly taking the enemy's head.

Looking up at Fu Zening, who stood on one side of the platform with high spirits, Shen Yao seemed to understand why the Tianjian Sect's High Level would be willing to let Fu Zening appear in advance.

Too dazzling, and too eye-catching; if he did not die young midway, he would surely change the world one day.

"System, I look forward to seeing what heights Fu Zening will reach in the future."

"It's just a pity that I might not be able to see it."

Shen Yao's Foundation Establishment lifespan was only three hundred years, destined to leave before several children and Fu Hengyan.

Only hoping that after she closed her eyes, Fu Hengyan and several children could be unaffected and live well in this Cultivation World.

Exhaling lightly, Shen Yao cheered up and left the platform smiling.

As time approached, when the Sect Master and Elders of the Piaomiao Sect and the various Imperial Relatives of the Baili Imperial Court appeared together above Yunzhong City, this cultivator Exchange Conference of the Xuantian Continent, held once every hundred years, officially kicked off.

The cultivator Exchange Conference focused on the two words "exchange."

During the Exchange Conference, even Demon Cultivators with deep grudges against other continents had to remain peaceful and could not openly violate the rules.

Shen Yao even saw several Demon Cultivators of extraordinary grace at the opening ceremony.

Their appearance and looks were top-notch; if not for the demonic power surging around them, no one would doubt their identity.

Shen Yao clasped her hands, "I feel that compared to human cultivators, Spiritual Objects and other living beings of Demon Cultivators are more favored by World Consciousness."

Even in the Xuantian Continent, the Human Race was still the dominant force.

The System did not think so, "The Human Race being able to cultivate longevity has already seized the first move."

"You must know that for Demon Race Spiritual Objects to break through themselves is ten million times harder than for the Human Race; just the Thunder Tribulation is not something ordinary people can withstand."

Shen Yao stared without blinking, "The greater the price paid, the greater the gain."

"Whether in body or Cultivation Realm, the Demon Race is generally stronger than the Human Race; this is the price they should bear."

It was impossible for everything to be good; in such a miraculous world, balance was emphasized.

Every drink and peck was predestined.

One person and one System chatted idly in their mind until the Sect Master of the Piaomiao Sect publicly announced the reward for the champion of this cultivator Exchange Conference: the Spirit Fruit of Longevity Increase.

Everyone was greatly surprised by this; it was a legendary treasure said to be able to increase lifespan.

You must know that in the entire Xuantian Continent, there were not many Spiritual Objects that could increase lifespan.

The Spirit Fruit of Longevity Increase was the treasure among them with the best effect and easiest to obtain.

One fruit could increase sixty years of lifespan, and a cultivator could only take it once in their lifetime.

Do not underestimate these few decades; used at certain key moments, they could bring unexpected harvests.

Among them, the most talked-about story regarding the Spirit Fruit of Longevity Increase was the early war with the Demon Race.

Several Nascent Soul True Monarchs whose lifespans were nearing their end acted together; not only did they end that world-shaking dispute in advance, but they also avoided greater losses for the four continents.

Now that the Spirit Fruit of Longevity Increase reappeared in this Exchange Conference, it was something Shen Yao had not expected.

Out of curiosity, Shen Yao looked at the many cultivators around her.

She did not know whose pocket this Spirit Fruit of Longevity Increase would eventually fall into.

"Naturally your pocket, Host; I didn't expect that one day you would actually earn a basin full of bowls through your offspring."

The System jumped up and down in Shen Yao's mind, its tone hinting at envy.

If its previous Hosts knew this, they would definitely accuse it no matter what.

Why was it that among the same workers, all relying on bearing children to complete missions, some could complete them well and fast, while others could only survive with difficulty?

Could this be due to Fortune?

Had it even overlooked that the Host's very nature was a person favored by World Consciousness?

The System couldn't help but ask itself two questions in a row, then quickly shook off those random thoughts.

Impossible; as a System, it could not originally bind a Child of Fortune; the Host was purely walking on dog shit luck, gaining this opportunity only through various coincidences and accidents.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao held in her hands a Spiritual Object that looked like an apple but was crystal clear and transparent like crystal.

This was the Spirit Fruit of Longevity Increase, a prize Fu Zening won back by strength after strongly defeating all competitors.

In the end, this treasure that could increase lifespan fell into Shen Yao's hands.

The reason Fu Zening gave was very simple: Shen Yao's lifespan was a trouble that could be seen at a glance.

Wanting Shen Yao to live longer, since her Cultivation Realm could not exert force, she could only think of ways on such treasures that increased lifespan.

The Yuan-Enhancing Spirit Fruit merely appeared by coincidence; even without it, Shen Yao's several children would have sought other treasures to replace it.

"Host, do you want to take it?"

The system felt this treasure could be stored in the space for now.

Shen Yao nodded, simultaneously placing the spirit fruit by her lips.

It was merely the blink of an eye, and the Yuan-Enhancing Spirit Fruit swiftly fused into Shen Yao's body.

A surging power erupted from within outward; Shen Yao smacked her lips, unable to taste the treasure's flavor, but her own vitality had indeed improved noticeably.

"This is a piece of sincerity; regardless, it cannot be left unused."

Besides, the final result of leaving it might not necessarily be usable on Shen Yao.

After all, in the Cultivation World, cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan are countless.

If a close relative comes seeking it, would Shen Yao give it or not?

Better to use it herself cleanly first, saving others from harboring thoughts about it.

The system expressed understanding of Shen Yao's explanation; human society indeed has all kinds of problems.

The Host prioritizing eating the Yuan-Enhancing Spirit Fruit is completely unproblematic from a results perspective.

This is a filial gift sent by her own son; Shen Yao has the right to dispose of it.

Shen Yao, having taken the Yuan-Enhancing Spirit Fruit, took the opportunity to enter Closed-door Cultivation for a segment of time.

When she appeared again, the vitality overflowing from her entire body directly made certain scheming people put down their probing.

Probing is useless anyway; the Yuan-Enhancing Spirit Fruit has been eaten, and everything is to no avail.

At this time the Exchange Conference had already reached its climax; those cultivators who had eye-catching performances in the competitions all entered the Yunmiao Secret Realm.

It is Yunzhong City's own massive Secret Realm; inside it still involves the secrets of Ascension.

Pity that the Secret Realm has opened a count of times over many years; many rumors have flowed out yet there are no substantive results — one can only say this wave is a matter of the benevolent seeing benevolence, the wise seeing wisdom.

Shen Yao tilted her head, "It is said the time inside the Yunmiao Secret Realm flows completely differently from Outside.

Ten days in the Secret Realm, one day Outside.

This Secret Realm will open for a total of Half Year; if someone has accumulated sufficient momentum, cultivating in the Secret Realm, it is uncertain whether their own Cultivation Realm might advance a Tier."

At least for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, entering the Yunmiao Secret Realm, the benefits outweigh the harms.

Moreover the Yunmiao Secret Realm contains countless Spiritual Treasures; even though crises abound within, it is still worth a try.

"Want to go take a look?"

Fu Hengyan drooped his eyes to look at Shen Yao; this opening of the Yunmiao Secret Realm exists as a segment of the Exchange Conference.

For people like them, they actually also have the qualifications to enter the Yunmiao Secret Realm.

It is merely that the Big Shots are all unwilling to contend with the youth, or out of self-respect for their status, unwilling to lower themselves.
