Why hasn't he returned after such a long time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to take my wife to pay respects several times but didn't find him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Jiang Hao didn't dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Master comes back, it won't be too late to pay respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Jiang Hao found Cheng Chou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And began to discuss teachings and Dharma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhi was also here this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems he is about to ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just lacking an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at the divine item inside Lin Zhi's body and found it had blended with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indistinguishable from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, it didn't limit Lin Zhi's path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Jiang Hao paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after ascension, it would be easy to attract the attention of Bright Moon Sect members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's likely to be some destiny tied to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps one day, Lin Zhi will need to make a trip to the eastern region, to visit the Bright Moon Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao felt that the people around him seemed to be fated with the Bright Moon Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining the cultivation method to Cheng Chou, Lin Zhi came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He respectfully saluted and said, \"Senior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you preparing to go out?\" Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I need to make a trip out.\" Lin Zhi did not hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao reached out and touched Lin Zhi's forehead saying, \"Go then, it doesn't matter when you come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, you have a bond with the Bright Moon Sect, and you will eventually have to head to the eastern region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might want to consider when to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zhi bowed her head, saying, \"Yes, I will consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\" Jiang Hao didn't need to teach Lin Zhi anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't as quick to depart as Chu Chuan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, he was the slowest of all to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Chuan, Mu Longyu, Han Ming, spirit beast, small girl, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these individuals had already become immortals, except for Lin Zhi who was still in the Immortal Ascension Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once one becomes a True Immortal, it's a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having scoured the library for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was different from the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Cheng Chou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao hadn't given it much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Cheng Chou had already Returned to Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the dawn of the Great Era, advancing to Immortal Ascension was not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a good time indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, ascending would be extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with the matters of the Spirit Herb Garden, Jiang Hao went to the Devil's Den to inquire about the location of Gu Changsheng's exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also discussed the weather with Gu Jin, who, after learning of his intentions, willingly revealed the location of Gu Changsheng's exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Jin did not know the specifics, he could deduce where the entrance was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To go there, one must head to the West, and then look at the place where Gu Changsheng fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, one should be able to find the entrance to exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under the cover of the Supreme Immortal Court Order, the Land of Exile might be difficult to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land of Exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him flowed a pitch-black river that seemed to suck one in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And behind him was another river, also pitch-black but with a faint light, as if one could see deep into the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, fish could be seen swimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both rivers appeared in the void, flowing into the depths of the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They existed in space, yet seemed discordant with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Great Era has begun, the Supreme Immortal Court is established, indeed various changes shall arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without leaving, I can feel the changes in the heavens and earth around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They've become unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a new era.\" Gu Changsheng sighed lightly: \"In the end, it is not the era of Gu Jin anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a fissure appeared in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was in the direction of the river's source, seemingly opening up a strange space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That place might connect to the outside, and perhaps someone will enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a moment, Gu Changsheng extended his aura, and something seemed to emerge from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Gu Changsheng closed his eyes, and the root-like thing began to transform into a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it turned into a person identical to Gu Changsheng, and then he walked towards that space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void had long become the place where he took root, everything here served as his nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, he was almost like a sovereign being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, this was still the Land of Exile; returning would not be so easy for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, it wouldn't be easy for others to enter either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they did, they would be suppressed by his Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, as long as I returned, bringing with me the Land of Exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infecting the land, making it into my rooted place, then I would pluck the Dao fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes of the world are too rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl has appeared, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl has appeared, and the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl has also appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone has already been revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not the world I knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those items were sealed and left no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I return to infect the land, would I also disappear in an instant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, when exactly will you return?\" Lady Bi Zhu's voice suddenly rose in the Land of Exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changsheng: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person would ask every now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I no longer wish to talk to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at that space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see if anyone will show up there, if so, I can leave something behind to peek at the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it's not as dangerous outside as I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, my sources of information are quite singular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by seeing it for myself can I be certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's truly not that dangerous,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I will accept the proposition of that eighteen-year-old girl and begin my return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although my Body is suppressed, the entire Land of Exile is me, and so I can return on a large scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occupying a domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, wait for time, and fully return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Court Order may be formidable, but it cannot stop me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party itself is in jeopardy and will not create too much conflict with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, my toothache is not so severe anymore, I should be able to update before twelve noon tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The start of the month, asking for a baseline monthly pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, as it's already the late-stage, it will likely finish within a million words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there's anything else that needs filling in, please write it out, I will write whatever I can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking for monthly
