Chapter 662: Preparing to Return to the Forbidden Starry Sky

He had been stuck at the Half-Immortal Realm Peak for years; today, after hearing Ye Wuque's teaching, he suddenly attained enlightenment and stepped into the Immortal Realm!

"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!"

He faced Ye Wuque, repeatedly bowing his head, gratitude bringing tears to his eyes.

Ye Wuque gave a slight smile and waved his hand:

"It is your own insight; no need to thank me."

The other young disciples listened even more attentively, fearing to miss a single word.

……

It wasn't only the young disciples.

Even the Elders, and beings of Ancestor level, were listening.

Although their cultivation was profound, Ye Wuque's teaching also inspired them.

After all—

Ye Wuque's current strength far surpasses those Elders of the Immortal King Realm and even Ancestors of the Dao Realm!

An Ancestor of the Dao Realm, after hearing Ye Wuque's teaching, was filled with countless emotions:

"I have cultivated for millions of years and consider myself to have a certain grasp of the Great Dao."

"Today, hearing the Young Master's words, I realize I am merely a frog at the bottom of a well."

Another Ancestor nodded:

"The Young Master's Dao has already gone too far."

"We can only look at his dust from afar."

……

The teaching continued for three days and three nights.

After it ended, those young disciples remained immersed in that profound realm, unable to regain their senses for a long time.

Ye Wuque, surrounded by his clan members, returned to his residence.

……

After the Ye Clan had a brief recuperation, Ye Wuque went to the Great Thousand Divine Universe.

It is his sect.

It is an important stop on his cultivation path.

The Universe Lord of the Great Thousand Divine Universe personally greeted him!

Behind him followed several Dao Masters of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, as well as Great Universe Elder, Seven Yu Elder and other high officials!

The scene could be described as extremely grand!

"Wuque, you have returned."

The Universe Lord laughed, his voice full of satisfaction and warmth.

Ye Wuque slightly cupped his hands:

"I have seen you, Universe Lord, I have seen all the Dao Masters, I have seen all the Elders."

The Universe Lord waved his hand:

"No need for excessive courtesy."

"Your reputation now is almost larger than mine as Universe Lord."

He smiled, his grin full of teasing and pride.

The other Dao Masters and Elders also nodded, their eyes full of admiration.

They had long heard of Ye Wuque's achievements in the Border Wasteland.

With the Immortal Realm, he struck down the Giant Supreme!

What a defiance of Heaven!

What a monstrous prodigy!

Having such a disciple in the Great Thousand Divine Universe is truly an honor!

……

After the pleasantries, Ye Wuque stated the purpose of his visit.

"Universe Lord, I have a request."

The Universe Lord slightly raised an eyebrow:

"Go ahead, it doesn't matter."

Ye Wuque said:

"I wish to bring back the sect I previously joined—the Heavenly Sacred Dao—to the Great Thousand Divine Universe."

He roughly explained the background and circumstances.

The Heavenly Sacred Dao was originally one of the many Dao lineages within the Great Thousand Divine Universe.

In the endless ages past, it once shook the Zhutian Wanjie and subdued all beings.

But later—

It became entangled in a civil war that swept the entire Great Thousand Divine Universe.

Expelled from the Great Thousand Divine Universe!

Falling all the way down!

Ultimately collapsed into the Forbidden Starry Sky!

And the Rift Heaven Dao, also one of the Dao of the Great Thousand Divine Universe, relentlessly pursued and continuously hunted the Heavenly Sacred Dao!

Return to the Great Thousand Divine Universe—

It has always been the long‑cherished wish of the ancestors of the Heavenly Sacred Dao through the ages!

……

The Universe Lord listened, then fell silent for a while.

And then—

He smiled.

In that smile there was a hint of emotion, and also a hint of relief.

"Wuque…"

He said slowly:

"These trivial matters, you may decide directly, no need for further words."

"The Heavenly Sacred Dao is, in fact, a part of my Great Thousand Divine Universe."

"The events of those years… to speak of them is shameful; it was my Great Thousand Divine Universe that owed them."

He paused, and his voice carried a note of solemnity:

"Now, having a disciple like you, willing to vindicate them—"

"That is their destiny, and also the honor of my Great Thousand Divine Universe."

"Go."

"Go and bring them back."

Ye Wuque heard this and slightly clasped his hands:

"Thank you, Universe Lord."

……

After reporting to the Universe Lord and the others, Ye Wuque began preparing to return to the Forbidden Starry Sky.

But before heading back, he waited a short while.

Naturally, he waited for Feng Caichen.

……

A dozen days later.

Ancient Sword Tomb.

The innermost core area.

A figure of a white‑clad swordsman, bathed in endless Thunder Tribulation!

That Thunder Tribulation was terrifying to the extreme!

Multicolored Lei Dian poured down like a torrential rain!

Each Lei Dian could cause a Quasi‑Supreme to turn to ash!

But that white‑clad swordsman—

did not stir a hair!

He stood proudly within the sea of thunder, sword intent soaring to the heavens!

No matter how the Lei Dian hammered, none could harm him a fraction!

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor, Ice Sword Immortal, Heavenly Sword Master and others watched from afar.

In their eyes were full of satisfaction and expectation.

"This child…"

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor murmured, his voice full of awe:

"Sword Heart Clear and Bright, Sword Intent Pure."

"His future achievements will be boundless."

Ice Sword Immortal nodded:

"My Ancient Sword Tomb now has a successor."

Heavenly Sword Master was so moved that tears ran down his cheeks:

"Good disciple… good disciple…"

……

The Thunder Tribulation lasted for a long time.

When the final Lei Dian dissipated—

Feng Caichen's aura surged wildly!

Finally he ascended… the Immortal Realm!

Just like Ye Wuque!

A single step to the heavens!

Feng Caichen slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes remained as clear as water, a still ancient well.

But within them, there was an added depth and sharpness.

That is the edge belonging to the strongest swordsmen!

……

After his breakthrough succeeded, Feng Caichen gave a brief farewell to the elders of the Ancient Sword Tomb.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor looked at him, his aged face full of reluctance and expectation.

"Go."

He waved his hand:

When you're young, go out more, experience more, it's a good thing.

Ancient Sword Tomb will always be your home.

The Ice Sword Immortal also nodded:

"Take care."

Heavenly Sword Master stepped forward and patted Feng Caichen's shoulder:

"Good disciple, be careful out there."

"If anything comes up, return at any time."

Feng Caichen gave a slight nod and performed a solemn bow to the elders.

Then—

He turned and left.

Clad in white, surpassing the snow, he drifted away.

……

Great Thousand Divine Universe.

Ye Wuque felt that familiar aura and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He lifted his head and looked into the distance.

There, a white‑clothed Dark Shadow was stepping through the void.

"Lao Feng."

Ye Wuque laughed:

"Did you breakthrough?"

Feng Caichen landed beside him and gave a slight nod:

"Hmm."

Ye Wuque looked at him, his eyes full of satisfaction and admiration.

"Good."

He said:

"We should return to Forbidden Starry Sky and take a look."

A faint longing appeared in Feng Caichen's Dark Eye.

He nodded.

Forbidden Starry Sky—

That was where they first met.

That was where they fought side by side.

That was where their legend began.

Now—

It's time to go back and see.

……

Before setting out, Ye Wuque found Fu Bo.

"Fu Bo, you come along as well."

He said with a smile:

"Forbidden Starry Sky, but there are two people who've been waiting for you…"

Fu Bo was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"It's Gu Qingchen and Chu Linglong, right…?"

He murmured, his voice tinged with a hint of emotion and longing.

He certainly remembered those two women.

Back then in Forbidden Starry Sky, they had deep feelings for him.

Now—

He didn't know what had become of them.

"Fine then."

Fu Bo smiled:

"Since you, young master, said so."

"Then I, the old servant, will go back together to see."
