Though I’ve never seen a real one, I’ve long heard of its fame—since our ancestor gave you such a treasure, then the matter is no longer concerning,\" Wang Yu said, visibly moved, his worries dissipating considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who says you’ve never seen a real one? When we traveled together back then, you saw me activate a defensive talisman artifact—the turtle-shell silhouette—that was also a talisman artifact, but after multiple uses, its power was nearly gone. This Xiao Mi Yun Fan talisman artifact, however, is brand-new and can be used multiple times,\" Bai Yun said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, so that turtle-shell silhouette you released back then was also a talisman artifact—I never imagined that,\" Wang Yu recalled the scene from years ago, marveling aloud, then rolled up the scroll and returned both items to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, have you truly decided to accompany me on this journey?\" Bai Yun carefully re-stowed the two items; having explained everything, she finally confirmed once more with Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since my sister has said so much, how could I possibly refuse? But I have one condition—I hope you’ll agree to it,\" Wang Yu said solemnly, having made his decision and no longer wishing to delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Tell me, younger brother Wang,\" Bai Yun asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you’ll promise me, within your ancestor’s capability, not a general favor, but that when I become a True Disciple, I may become his registered disciple—and if I ever miraculously reach Foundation Establishment, I hope he will formally accept me as his disciple,\" Wang Yu said slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Bai Yun froze, then after a long pause, replied with a strange expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger brother, you really dare to think like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how many Foundation Establishment cultivators in our sect desperately want to join our ancestor’s lineage? Yet he’s only taken two formal disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our sect has so many Foundation Establishment cultivators—but how many have ever been accepted as disciples by a Jin Dan elder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know it’s a fantasy to become his direct disciple, so I only dare ask for the status of a registered disciple—if I never succeed in reaching Foundation Establishment, I won’t dare dream of becoming his true disciple,\" Wang Yu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s just the status of a registered disciple… since younger brother Wang has said so, I’ll ask him for you when the time comes—but I can’t guarantee he’ll agree. If he refuses, we’ll stick to the original condition,\" Bai Yun thought for a moment, then finally nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sister,\" Wang Yu said, overjoyed. \"If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother—but you’re the ancestor’s descendant, and you’ve just accomplished a great deed for him; surely he’ll grant you this favor.\" He showered her with praise, having only intended to test the waters—but from Bai Yun’s reaction, it seemed there was real hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he truly became a registered disciple of the Tian Chan Elder, that status would be far more practical and valuable than a mere favor within her ancestor’s capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a registered disciple of a Jin Dan elder, he would enjoy lifelong security within the Four Symbols Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was because he realized that Tian Chan Elder had sent his own descendant into such a perilous secret realm—he knew the item Bai Yun sought must be of immense importance to the elder, or else he would never have dared to make such a request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. You yourself said you want to become my ancestor’s registered disciple—I must first accomplish this great deed for him. No time to waste—let’s depart now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be safe, I’ll activate the Xiao Mi Yun Fan talisman artifact now,\" Bai Yun, ever decisive, immediately pulled from her sleeve a snow-white, silk-thin piece of beast hide, faintly inscribed with a miniature green banner pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the talisman artifact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu looked at it, his heart stirred—he recalled the beast hide in his own hand, inscribed with a crimson long-knife pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could that also be a demonic talisman artifact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was filled with surprise and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Bai Yun began pouring spiritual energy into the beast hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the snow-white hide shimmered with tiny silver lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, a half-foot-long green miniature banner emerged from the hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banner’s surface was densely covered with layers upon layers of green spiritual runes, countless in number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is what a true treasure looks like,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stared at the green banner’s phantom form, eyes gleaming, murmuring softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who said the Xiao Mi Yun Fan is a true treasure? It’s merely a spirit artifact—far from a true treasure. Let me show you its power,\" Bai Yun said, unimpressed by his awe, then seized the green banner’s phantom as if it were solid, and gave it a gentle shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft “puff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ring of green aura rippled outward from the banner; wherever the green light passed, space twisted, blurred—and Bai Yun, along with the jade flying boat behind her, vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a true treasure—just a spirit artifact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu first froze, then immediately his eyes glowed with light as he swept his spiritual sense forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current terrifying mental strength, his spiritual sense far surpassed that of any cultivator at his level—even without forming a true spiritual thought, its sheer power made it impossible for ordinary cultivation-level concealment techniques to hide anything at such close range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when his vast spiritual sense swept across the area, he felt only emptiness—as if no one had ever stood where Bai Yun had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu silently astonished; his eyes flickered with light several times, yet even his superhuman vision detected no anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive—this is the power of a talisman artifact. Younger brother has truly broadened his horizons. Such unimaginable power—Foundation Establishment cultivators truly couldn’t detect it,\" Wang Yu smiled, applauding generously.\u003C\u002Fp>",1137,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.161Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","93a6c0f7fdeb31b2a35a48da7b950094ed3e5b483e0676cc772b321284f192c2","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-225","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-223",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
