Chapter 191

Yang Zhu is a personal name. Northern Dipper is a place name. Also, the pronoun 'she' in the sentence 'she wants to follow by his side' refers to the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool, so we need to include the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool as a named entity.

just a question.

"If quick, it could be a few months; if busy, perhaps several years." the Jade Pool Saintess answered truthfully.

Yang Zhu, a Dao platform (generic) – not a specific name; but 'a Dao platform the size of a palm' is just a small Dao platform, not a named entity.

Divine Light Platform is a named item.

Wushi Dadi (the Great Emperor) is a named person/title. Also Ye Fan is a personal name. Also Ancient Starry Road is a named location. Also Divine Light Platform is a named item.

Yang Zhu, the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool? Actually 'We are waiting for you ahead' refers to the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool and maybe others. So include the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool.

For cultivators, a few months pass in the blink of an eye; there's no need to overthink or hesitate.

Moreover, Yang Zhu has been sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years; with his Dao-heart and patience, these few months mean nothing to him.

Dragon Cave is generic? Might be a place but not a proper name. Eternal Blue Gold is a material name.

Upon hearing that, the Jade Pool Saintess's bright eyes flickered, then she relaxed and gently nodded her chin.

Every cultivator refines many supreme treasures and divine weapons, and only upon reaching a certain level of cultivation do they choose their natal magic weapon.

Like Yang Zhu and Ye Fan, they belong to a rather special type, for their bodies are peerless and they do not rely heavily on weapons, so the number of items they refine is small.

Yang Zhu, Ye Fan? Actually 'Forging a proof‑of‑the‑way instrument……then you keep these two items, perhaps they will be helpful to you.' spoken by the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool? Not sure. But includes Yang Zhu and Ye Fan? Actually line 14 is a quote from the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool? It says 'Forging a proof‑of‑the‑way instrument……then you keep these two items, perhaps they will be helpful to you.' Likely spoken by the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool to Yang Zhu. So includes Yang Zhu.

Yang Zhu immediately took out a half-piece of eternal azure gold, crystal-clear and dazzling, dreamlike and illusory, flashing with a mysterious luster—this was what he obtained from the depths of the dragon's cave.

Mother Qi Source Root of All Things is a named item. Also bronze chunk is generic. Also Great Emperor is generic but refers to Wushi Dadi earlier. Not a new name.

"The source root of the mother qi of all things? That's far too precious..."

Ye Fan, Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things is a named item. Also various forces competing for power is generic.

She never imagined that Yang Zhu also possessed it.

generic.

Yang Zhu, Chaos Stone Essence, Mother Qi Source Root of All Things.

generic.

The Jade Pool Saintess's beautiful eyes trembled slightly; she was pure and lovely like a fairy, transcendent and unworldly, resembling a fairy of the Moon Palace, every frown and smile possessing myriad charms.

Any beautiful thing in the world pales before her, difficult to compare.

Ye Fan, Jade Pool? Actually 'Ye Fan and them arrived a few days ago, everyone is waiting for you.' includes Ye Fan and maybe others.

After Ye Fan said goodbye to some friends and classmates, he came to Yaochi, learned that Yang Zhu was in secluded meditation, and thus waited there for a while.

Hua Yunfei, Li Xiaoman, Pang Bo, Li Heishui, Xiao Yue Liang of the Ji clan - treat as a name: Xiao Yue Liang of the Ji clan. Also Ji clan may be considered a clan name.

Xiao Nannan is a personal name (nickname). 'Little guy' is generic, not a name. Xiao Nan Nan is a personal name (nickname).

Little Nannan, upon seeing Yang Zhu, burst into tears, her tears like a string of pearls, large drops rolling down her cheeks.

The little one thought she could finally stay with Yang Zhu for a longer time, but who knew that after just a few days, Yang Zhu entered closed-door cultivation.

Before Yang Zhu emerged from seclusion, Ye Fan told her that they were about to leave; the little one could no longer hold back, bursting into tears, heartbroken.

Although Little Nannan rarely meets Yang Zhu, for some reason she instinctively treats him with great affection, already regarding him as family.

One could say that Ye Fan and Yang Zhu are the people she is closest to and likes most; now that both are about to leave, for the little one…

"We are going to become stronger, so that we can better protect you..."

Yang Zhu, Xiao Nannan, Big Black Dog maybe a named beast? It's a pet; but could be considered a named beast if it's a specific animal with a name? It's just a big black dog. Probably exclude.

"Yes, we will surely return to Nannan's side in the future."

Ye Fan also felt reluctant; toward this little one, he genuinely liked and pitied her.

But he misses his homeland, worries about his parents; no matter how reluctant he feels, he must return, and over these many years his resolve to go home has never wavered.

"Little Nannan, don't cry; although they've left, we're still here," Li Heishui comforted from beside.

"No… Nannan wants her brother and big brother."

Who would have thought, Little Nannan shook her head, tightly gripping the corners of Yang Zhu's and Ye Fan's clothes, refusing to let go no matter what… "……"

Li Heishui, already as black as a lump of charcoal, upon hearing this felt an urge to vomit blood, and his face grew even darker.

After all this time together, could there really be no feelings? My emotions have made a clown of myself……

I'm dying of laughter, you piece of charcoal, you actually dared to talk to me!

The big black dog laughed until his stomach hurt, the corners of his mouth nearly flying off from laughter, and the rest were also amused.

For a moment, the originally rather sorrowful atmosphere eased considerably.

With Yang Zhu and Ye Fan working together, it took half an hour to coax Little Nannan into calm.

Although her eyes were still red from crying, at least she was willing to let go and could barely accept their departure.

Brother Yang - address, not a name. Yunfei Eastern Wasteland? Actually 'Brother Yang, Yunfei in the Eastern Wasteland awaits your return.' Likely spoken by Hua Yunfei? Actually earlier we had Hua Yunfei. So 'Yunfei Eastern Wasteland' maybe refers to Hua Yunfei waiting in the Eastern Wasteland. So includes Hua Yunfei and Eastern Wasteland as a place. We'll include Eastern Wasteland as a place name.

Ye Zi - address for Ye Fan, not a name. 'Will you have a chance to come back?' is generic.

Big Brother - address. Xiao Nannan.

Before parting, everyone was reluctant; the Ji family's little moon had even reddened her eye sockets, and if her parents and relatives weren't present, she might truly have left with them.

Compared to Yang Zhu, Ye Fan and Pang Bo and the others felt more sorrowful.

Because Yang Zhu is merely going out for training and to grow stronger; with his abilities, returning is actually not difficult.

Ye Fan, Northern Dipper, Nine Dragons Pulling the Carriage? Actually 'Nine Dragons Pulling the Carriage' maybe a place or vehicle). We'll treat as a named item: Nine Dragons Pulling the Carriage.

generic.

Yang Zhu, Jade Pool, Cloud Break Mountain Range.

This parting leaves us unsure when we will meet again, but such is life—some paths cannot be avoided or changed.

generic (author note).

Cloud Severed Mountain Range, colorless altar.

Yang Zhu placed seals on the other three before safely arriving at the ancient altar.

"Venerable Lord of Infinite Heaven, I, this humble Daoist, actually overlooked it back then; this place actually has a cave heaven!"

The wicked Daoist's eyes widened; when he came here before, he only noticed the yin-yang topography above, yet failed to see that below actually possessed such supernatural craftsmanship!

"This is the work of the Ruthless Great Emperor; it's normal not to be able to see it."

The big black dog explained, this time he didn't seize the chance to mock the other; even though he is versed in formations, he might not necessarily notice it.

Yang Zhu traced in his hand, the intricate runes constantly shifting; soon he set Earth's coordinates, then had to activate the altar to bring Ye Fan back.

With a flick of his embroidered robe, an ancient purple copper ship rapidly expanded to several zhang in length, its surface etched with many strange runes, crystal clear, flashing with a metallic gleam.

"Brother Yang, you have helped me many times, each time a great kindness; this parting, I do not know if we will meet again, but if there is a chance, I, Ye, will surely repay you in full!"

After Ye Fan boarded the copper ship, his body slightly leaned forward, and he performed a clasped-hand salute.

"Rest assured there will be a chance; remember to keep your bellyband safe, for that will be our token when we meet again!"

The big black dog wore a mischievous grin; after hearing that, Ye Fan embarrassedly rubbed his nose, not knowing how to retort.

"Take care."

Yang Zhu nodded; knowing they would meet again later, his mood remained relatively calm.

The next moment, he activated the colorless altar; instantly divine light surged, flashing with Dao patterns across the sky, and the heavens and earth trembled violently.

Thereafter, a massive gate appeared, carrying Ye Fan's copper ship slowly sailing into it, and finally disappearing inside.

"Return to Purple Mountain."

Yang Zhu tore open a void rift, stepped in with one foot, and the big black dog, Duan De, and others closely followed.

Unlike Ye Fan, he does not rely on this place to leave; instead, he must first return to Purple Mountain and set out from there!
