Translation: It is truly a blessed cultivation ground for Ji Fuyao!

Lu Xuan turned his gaze to Liu Xuan, Luo Lingkong, and Fang Yan and the others; their cultivation also increased greatly.

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes flickered, 'Master, has everything been arranged for Fourth Junior Sister?'

Lu Xuan nodded and told everyone what had happened during this time.

Ye Chen felt amused, 'I never expected the Ghost Clan to also fall to such a state.'

Ji Fuyao said, 'Although the Deep Abyss Meridians have declined, Fourth Junior Sister can actually receive more attention there.'

Translation: Ji Fuyao said, "Although the Abyssal Meridians have declined, Fourth Junior Sister there can instead receive greater attention."

Ah Li sighed, 'Yang Tianming is really too pitiful; even though he's already dead, the Longevity Sect and the Gu Clan still won't let him go.'

Translation: Ali sighed somewhat, "Yang Tianming's fate is too tragic; though he is already dead, the Eternal Life Sect and the Gu Clan still won't let him rest."

When Yang Tianming is mentioned, everyone feels somewhat unresolved.

After a moment, Lu Xuan took out a star map, 'Next, I'll arrange everything for you first, then I'll return to the Left Wing World.'

Whoosh!

Translation: "Hiss!"

The situation of the Cangyun Star Sea's heaven and earth immediately became apparent.

Translation: The heavenly momentum of the Azure Cloud Star Sea immediately revealed itself.

Lu Xuan pointed at various places on the star map, 'Fuyao, in the Cangyun Star Sea there is a place where spirit fire boils, called Huoyun Valley; it is the fire‑gathering place of the Yaochi Imperial Dynasty and also a Gu‑refining site of the Longevity Sect. You can go there to cultivate first. In Huoyun Valley there is also an exotic fire called the Xinglan Exotic Fire.'

Translation: Lu Xuan pointed at various places on the star map, "Fuyao, within the Azure Cloud Star Sea there is a place where spirit fire boils, called Fire Cloud Valley; it is the Yaochi Imperial Dynasty's fire‑gathering site and also a Gu‑refining site of the Eternal Life Sect. You may go there to cultivate first. Within Fire Cloud Valley there is also an odd fire named the Xinglan Odd Fire."

Ji Fuyao tilted her snow‑white neck slightly, nodded, 'I'll follow the master's orders.'

Translation: Ji Fuyao slightly inclined her snow‑white neck, nodded, "I will follow the master's orders."

Lu Xuan then looked at Fang Yuan and said, 'There are still over two months before the Gu‑refining assembly of the Cangyun Star Sea begins; you can prepare first. This Gu‑refining assembly is held once every hundred years and is grand in scale.'

Translation: Lu Xuan then looked at Fang Yuan and said, "In a little over two months, the Gu Refining Assembly of the Azure Cloud Star Sea will begin; you can make preparations first. This Gu Refining Assembly is held once every hundred years and is grand in scale."

This Gu‑refining assembly will be held just outside the Burial Sword Abyss; the Burial Sword Abyss also emits the aura of the Heaven‑mandated primal source, but it is sealed, and now we must use the power of Gu‑refining to break it open.

Translation: "This Gu Refining Assembly will be held just outside the Burial Sword Abyss; the Burial Sword Abyss also emits the Heaven's Mandate Primal Origin Qi, but it is sealed, and now we will use the power of Gu refining to break it open."

As the voice fell, Lu Xuan flicked his finger, and an ancient jade slip landed before Fang Yuan.

Translation: As the sound faded, Lu Xuan flicked his finger, and an ancient jade slip fell before Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan, this is the inheritance of a thirteen‑cycle Gu master; you can contemplate it.

Translation: "Fang Yuan, this is the inheritance of a Thirteen‑turn Gu Master; you may contemplate it."

Luo Lingkong and the others were all somewhat shocked.

Translation: Luo Lingkong and the others were all somewhat shocked.

The inheritance of a thirteen‑cycle Gu master is equivalent to the strength of a Dao Rong realm expert!

Translation: The inheritance of a Thirteen‑turn Gu Master is equivalent to the strength of a Dao Fusion Realm expert!

Ji Fuyao and the others had long grown accustomed to it.

Translation: Ji Fuyao and the others were already accustomed to it.

Fang Yuan received the ancient jade slip and probed it with her divine sense.

Translation: Fang Yuan received the ancient jade slip and probed it with her divine sense.

Boom!

Translation: "Boom!"

A vast torrent of information surged directly into her sea of divine sense, numerous profound Gu‑refining techniques and an immense amount of Gu‑object Dao rhymes… these Dao rhymes transformed into countless brilliant points of light, as boundless as a smoke‑sea, continuously pouring down.

Translation: A vast torrent of information surged directly into her Sea of Divine Sense, countless mysterious Gu‑refining techniques and immense quantities of Gu‑object Dao Resonance… these Dao Resonances transformed into streaks of brilliant light points, vast as a smoke‑sea, continuously pouring down.

This is the name of the Gu master; his Gu‑refining borrows the principle of 'the Dao and law unite as one', secretly harmonizing with heaven and earth, giving an extremely high success rate.

Translation: This is the name of a Gu Master; his Gu refining borrows "Dao Law Returns to One", secretly harmonizing with heaven and earth, giving an extremely high success rate.

Translation: Fang Yuan absorbed a great deal of Gu‑object Dao Resonance, then drew upon Gu‑object power; her aura surged wildly and she directly stepped into the One Star Dao Lord Realm.

Lu Xuan nodded, he looked at Ah Li and said, 'Ah Li, you may go to the Senluo Demon Kingdom.'

Translation: Lu Xuan nodded, he looked at Ali, "Ali, you may go to the Senluo Demon Kingdom."

He pointed to a region on the star map.

Translation: He pointed to a region on the star map.

The Senluo Demon Kingdom is half located in the Cangyun Star Sea and half in the Xuancen Star Sea.

Translation: The Senluo Demon Kingdom is half located in the Azure Cloud Star Sea and half in the Mystic Dust Star Sea.

In the past, during the war between the Harmonious Sect and the Longevity Sect and other forces, the demon race waited until very late to enter the battlefield; by then the Harmonious Sect was already unable to hold on, so the demon race's strength remained well preserved.

Translation: In the past, during the war between the Hehuan Sect, the Eternal Life Sect and other forces, the demon clan waited until very late to enter the battlefield; at that time the Hehuan Sect was already unable to hold on, so the demon clan's strength was well preserved.

Now the demon race cooperates with the Longevity Sect, providing demonic power, bloodlines, or serving as mercenaries for the Longevity Sect's use.

Translation: Now the demon clan cooperates with the Eternal Life Sect, providing demonic power, bloodline, or serving as mercenaries for the Eternal Life Sect's use.

Lu Xuan said, 'After a while, an ancient demon world will open; the Senluo Demon Kingdom must go and break it open, and then I will bring you first to the relics of that demon race.'

Translation: Lu Xuan said, "After a while, an Ancient Demon World will open; the Senluo Demon Kingdom must go and break it open, and then I will bring you first into the relics of that demon clan."

Ah Li nodded, 'Okay, Master.'

Translation: Ali nodded, "Okay, Master."

At this moment, Ye Chen said, 'Master, I want to join the Pure Spirit Hall; when the time comes I will enter the Reincarnation Ancient Court to see what kind of person this Ruthless Empress is.'

Translation: At this moment, Ye Chen said, "Master, I want to join the Pure Spirit Hall; when the time comes I will enter the Reincarnation Ancient Court to see just who this Ruthless Empress is."

If one were to say who understands Ji Fuyao best, besides Lu Xuan it would probably be Ye Chen.

Translation: To say who knows Ji Fuyao best, besides Lu Xuan, it is probably Ye Chen.

During this time, the eldest senior sister has become very interested in the Ruthless Empress, after all there seems to be an unknown past between the Ruthless Empress and the master.

Translation: During this time, Senior Sister has taken great interest in the Ruthless Empress, after all, between the Ruthless Empress and the master there seems to be an unknown past.

So… perhaps he should go test the Ruthless Empress's trail.

Translation: So… perhaps he should go test the Ruthless Empress's trail.

Furthermore, the Reincarnation Ancient Court is, within the present Chaotic Star Sea, one of the few forces able to resist the Longevity Sect; it itself has gathered many humans, and by entering it he will confront difficulties head‑on, forging a great path for humanity.

Translation: Moreover, the Reincarnation Ancient Court is, within the Chaotic Star Sea, one of the few forces able to resist the Eternal Life Sect; it itself has gathered many humans, and by entering it he is also rising to the challenge, forging a great path for humanity.

Liu Xuan, Fang Yan, and Luo Lingkong exchanged a glance, 'We'll also go with Ye Chen.'

Translation: Liu Xuan, Fang Yan and Luo Lingkong glanced at each other, "We will also go with Ye Chen."

Others such as Jiang Rou and Ku Fan also want to join the Pure Spirit Hall.

Translation: Others such as Jiang Rou and Ku Fan also wanted to join the Pure Spirit Hall.

Lu Xuan said, 'Sure. However, your cultivation is a bit weak, so I will directly bestow some cultivation upon you. Bestowed cultivation naturally has some drawbacks; are you willing?'

Translation: Lu Xuan said, "That's fine. However, your cultivation is a bit weak; I will directly bestow some cultivation upon you. Bestowed cultivation naturally has some drawbacks—are you willing?"

'We are willing!' the crowd said without any hesitation.

Translation: "We are willing!" The crowd had no hesitation.

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and strands of pure cultivation essence fell into Fang Yan and the others' bodies.

Not long after.

Bestowed cultivation is naturally inferior to self‑cultivation, but their cultivation is too weak to establish a foothold in this world.

Translation: Bestowed cultivation is naturally inferior to self‑cultivation, but their cultivation was too weak to survive in this world.

Next, Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao, "Fuyao, I'll take you first to Fire Cloud Valley. You others, just cultivate here first."

With a thought, profound spatial power surged; he took Ji Fuyao and vanished instantly from the spot.

He rushed straight to Fire Cloud Valley.

In the starry sky, Ji Fuyao sensed that within the Chaotic Star Sea lay an incomparably fierce spiritual fire power.

She opened her slender jade hand, and that stalk of Fire of Ages burned slowly, as if resonating with this heaven and earth.

"Could it be that Die Yue gave me this spiritual fire, hiding some deeper meaning?"

This stalk of Fire of Ages can devour spiritual fire Dao Resonance, constantly growing, extraordinarily heaven-defying.

Soon, Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao descended upon Fire Cloud Valley.

Here, nearly a hundred stars have gathered, forming a vast starry sky that evolves into a mighty fire valley; faintly, one can sense that extraordinary fire within.

"Star Lan Strange Fire!"

In the starry sky, if one looks closely, one can see a crimson Dao Resonance surging like waves, sweeping across this heaven and earth.

This is precisely the might of the Star Lan Strange Fire.

Lu Xuan opened his Insight Eye, and soon saw the outskirts of Fire Cloud Valley, where figures loomed; many Dao Void Realm and Dao Lord Realm monsters prowled.

Moreover, many Cloud Shuttles descended, their momentum tremendous!

"It turns out Fire Cloud Valley is recruiting spiritual-fire-attributed monsters to become Fire Children, to craft gu items for the Eternal Life Sect!"

After all, Fire Cloud Valley is a natural furnace for refining gu items—nothing could be better.

Ji Fuyao quickly had an idea: "Master, I'll assume the name Ji Yue, coming from the Ancient Dao Lineage, and join Fire Cloud Valley."

In this butterfly world, because of Die Yue, the Ancient Dao Lineage is numerous, constantly emerging anew, so it's nothing unusual.

Only, the vast majority of the Ancient Dao Lineage have declined; forces like the Reincarnation Ancient Court are exceedingly rare.

Ji Fuyao smiled enchantingly: "Master, you need not act; just be my Guardian of the Dao."

Lu Xuan laughed and nodded.

"Boom!"

Ji Fuyao, clad in a Huo Se Chang Qun, instantly descended upon the recruitment site, where the spiritual fire boiled—it was an endless fire domain.

A grey-robed elder sat upon a crimson gourd, looking down on the crowd with a disdainful gaze.

When Ji Fuyao appeared, the entire fire domain instantly boiled; her jade foot touched down, and it seemed she had become the Lord of Spiritual Fire between heaven and earth.

The grey-robed man stared blankly.

Suddenly, a sharp, sarcastic female voice rang out, killing intent locking onto Ji Fuyao: "You have quite the arrogance!"
