Chapter 268: The Altered Future
After receiving the refund of 280,000 Spirit Stones, Jiang Xun took a few more looks at Jun Tianling's long, beautiful legs before leaving with great reluctance.
He had stayed there for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and only a few minutes had passed back in his own timeline.
When he opened his eyes, Si Yuyan was holding a writing brush with a mischievous grin; she was startled when Jiang Xun suddenly opened his eyes: "Ah, why are you back so early?"
"... What are you doing?" Jiang Xun asked, looking at Si Yuyan's state.
"Nothing much." Si Yuyan hid the brush behind her back and looked to the side as she spoke.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun could guess what the girl had been up to. He looked in the mirror, and sure enough, the girl had drawn a turtle on his face.
"You girl."
Jiang Xun sighed helplessly: "Are you a child?"
"Weren't you afraid I'd be bored? I was just finding some fun for myself, wasn't I?" Si Yuyan giggled.
"Finding fun..." Jiang Xun said as he quietly stood up, then grabbed another brush, pinned Si Yuyan beneath him, and began drawing on her face.
"Ah!" Si Yuyan was startled and did not use Spirit Power to resist.
The two of them scuffled for a moment, and the result was that both were covered in ink.
Then they both went to bathe, though unfortunately, they did not bathe in the same pool.
After the commotion, Si Yuyan went to bed to sleep, while Jiang Xun continued to head over to Jun Tianling's side.
This time when he arrived, Jun Tianling still hadn't found Tang Qingming's sword.
The strength of the three Tu siblings had also reached Void Refinement, and the Void Sect had already begun recruiting disciples. With the reputation of Jun Tianling, a Saint, recruiting disciples went very smoothly; after all, there was no other sect whose Sect Master was a Saint at the moment.
The name of the Void Sect was thoroughly established, and Haiyue Mountain was also renamed Xuwang Mountain.
Jun Tianling's Domain and Dharma Image had also expanded to their limits, and there were still a few thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones left, which could be quietly converted bit by bit into High-grade Spirit Stones or Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to provide for the disciples' cultivation.
The relationship between Tang Ying and Jun Tianling and Si Yuyan had also improved significantly, and she decided to hand the Baihua Sect over to her disciples while she remained at the Void Sect.
What needed to be done next was to raise the strength of Si Yuyan, Tang Ying, Tu Qingtian, Tu Mo, and Tu Nan to Saint, then find a few talented disciples or find some trustworthy ones from the outside to cultivate into Saints, and find an opportunity to unite with other dynasties or sects, or lead the Void Sect to fight back to the Northern Wasteland himself.
This time, with him having spent so many Top-grade Spirit Stones on Jun Tianling, even if the Tianyu Holy Emperor brought people to attack, they would definitely be no match for Jun Tianling.
One hundred years later, when Jiang Xun came again, the three Tu siblings were already Integration Realm cultivators.
It is truly infuriating to compare people; the Jiang Xun from before he changed his Spirit Root could never have imagined cultivating to the Integration Realm in less than two hundred years.
Another two hundred years later, the three Tu siblings, Tang Ying, and Si Yuyan had all become Saints, which meant they had already taken out five Saints.
The next step was development, feeding their Domains and Dharma Images to the limit.
Naturally, Jiang Xun had to spend some Spirit Stones on this, but just in case, Jiang Xun hid it from Tang Ying when giving Spirit Stones to the three Tu siblings and Si Yuyan.
After all, Tang Ying might discover it one day, and keeping her around now was only because she was useful.
After all, with her here, the Baihua Sect would also contribute to the attack on the Northern Wasteland when the time came.
Therefore, the weakest among the six Saints was Tang Ying.
The number of Void Sect disciples also grew, reaching fifty thousand.
The sect could no longer house them, so they had to continue expanding and then continue recruiting disciples.
With so many Saints present, what cultivator in the world wouldn't want to join the Void Sect?
Let alone anyone looking for trouble; hearing that the Void Sect had six Saints, the Tianyu Holy Emperor didn't even dare to entertain the thought of causing trouble.
When Jiang Xun returned from this trip, Si Yuyan hurriedly covered Jiang Xun's mouth to signal him to be quiet.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xun asked via voice transmission.
"Many people have suddenly appeared in the Void Sect. I took a look, and they are all Void Sect disciples. Because this is Jun Tianling's room, no one dares to come in."
Si Yuyan transmitted back.
Many people had suddenly appeared in the Void Sect two thousand years later; it seemed the future had already been changed by Jiang Xun.
But the fact that Si Yuyan was still here meant that Jiang Xun had still found her.
"Then is Jun Tianling here?" Jiang Xun continued to ask.
"If she were here, she would definitely be in this room. Looking at the situation now, she isn't." Si Yuyan shook her head: "Should we move somewhere else?"
"Alright." Jiang Xun nodded.
Seeing this, Si Yuyan directly used her Crimson Wings to instantly take Jiang Xun into the high sky.
Looking down, the Void Sect appeared prosperous, with patrolling disciples everywhere, as well as disciples who were cultivating or sparring.
It had truly become a massive sect that had stood for a thousand years.
But the number of disciples was clearly not as high as before.
This might prove that many people died in the Void Sect during the Northern Wasteland War.
"Where are we going?" Si Yuyan asked, holding onto Jiang Xun.
"Let's go... find a place to stay in Tianling City," Jiang Xun thought for a moment and said.
"Alright." Si Yuyan nodded and flew toward Tianling City, arriving quickly.
Jiang Xun bought a residence directly, and the two moved in.
"How is it? Do you have your previous memories?" Jiang Xun asked while cleaning the room.
"None at all." Si Yuyan shook her head.
This was because Jiang Xun had been constantly changing the previous timeline, causing Si Yuyan's memories to be very chaotic.
"I'm going out to scout for information; you wait for me obediently," Jiang Xun said to Si Yuyan after the room was tidied up.
"Alright." Si Yuyan also knew the situation had changed and that she shouldn't show herself right now.
After giving instructions to Si Yuyan, Jiang Xun changed into a black silk robe and went to the street; the prosperity of Tianling City hadn't changed at all.
Jiang Xun walked along, pricking up his ears to listen, wanting to know if there was any discussion about the Void Sect on the street.
As expected, such a large sect was indeed a topic of conversation for the common people over tea and meals, and many were talking about matters related to the Void Sect.
Jiang Xun came to a tea stall, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down to listen to their conversation.
"Although the Void Sect suffered heavy losses after the battle in the Northern Wasteland, it is still the number one sect; it really is impressive."
"It's a pity, I don't have a Spirit Root, otherwise I would definitely join the Void Sect!"
"However, the entire Northern Wasteland is now territory conquered by the Void Sect; a tall tree catches the wind, and I think there will definitely be a Supreme who will cause trouble for Jun Tianling."
"Cause trouble? To snatch territory? They didn't care when the Northern Wasteland was being invaded by the Demon Race, but now they come out to snatch territory—isn't that too shame..."
"Watch your tongue!" The man hurriedly covered his mouth.
Realizing he had almost said the wrong thing, the person whose mouth was covered broke out in a cold sweat.
"I actually heard that Jun Tianling, Si Yuyan, and Tang Ying have been missing since the battle in the Northern Wasteland; the current Sect Master of the Void Sect seems to be Tu Qingtian."
