Chapter 92: Delivered to the Doorstep

The interior of the Dragon Pearl space is unaffected.

Jiang Tu stared at the old Xuan for a long time and said, "So, you and the one surnamed Xun distrust each other."

Xuantang Xingjun remained silent until the transmission ended, then he quickly sent a voice to Jiang Yu, "Don't want to be questioned about everything; pay the spiritual stone and leave quickly."

When Jiang Yu landed, she saw two Nascent Soul cultivators approaching; she couldn't possibly get away, you know.

This place is a stone hall larger than East Continent, with steps dozens of zhang high on the side of the formation base, and the front furnished with tables, chairs, and benches carved from stone, wood, and other materials.

All kinds of flowers, trees, insects, fish, as well as zithers, chess, calligraphy and painting are fully prepared, and the spiritual energy is abundant; ignoring the transmission array, it is also a quiet cultivation site.

On the table where the two Nascent Soul cultivators had just sat lay a chessboard and tea.

Jiang Yu could not discern where this was, nor knew whether the two Nascent Souls were Daoist or demonic; she quietly asked Jiang Tu for a Wanli communication talisman and followed Master Liao Wu and his disciple down the transmission platform.

Among the two Nascent Soul cultivators arriving opposite, the one dressed in a red robe spoke first: "So you are the Daoist friend Liao Wu, and you have brought back two disciples?"

"We need to register and go through the procedure."

Master Liao Wu said, "So you are the ancient Daoist friend, Daoist friend Xu is on duty; indeed Guo Jue is my disciple, but the youngster beside him is a Daoist sect disciple."

"Oh, from East Continent?" the red‑robed Gu Zhenjun, whose surname is Gu, gave Jiang Yu a once‑over.

She quickly bowed and said, "I am a junior Tian Yuan cultivator, a disciple of the Grand Void Sect, who unintentionally fell onto the East Continent."

"This time I happened to meet Master Liao Wu and borrowed his light to return to my homeland."

"You, you aren't the Jiang Yu of the Grand Void Sect, are you?" the other, Xu Zhenjun, suddenly recalled someone with a huge age gap.

"Yes." Jiang Yu sighed inwardly; as a minor figure, she was nevertheless remembered by Nascent Soul cultivators, apparently after being transmitted from Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, her name had indeed spread across the world.

Guo Jue beside her couldn't help but look at her curiously, while Master Liao Wu asked no further, merely waiting for the two opposite to answer.

"Haha, Old Gu, quickly send a message to Daoist friend Sui Lv; his disciple has returned safely and has already established a foundation, we need to bring several jin of premium spiritual tea to thank Master Liao Wu."

"Daoist friend Liao Wu, you should stay a while longer; later let us also share some glory." Xu Zhenjun, fond of tea, said as he wrote something in a book.

Gu Zhenjun nodded repeatedly and immediately sent a message.

Jiang Yu was a bit stunned, hearing only Jiang Tu's surprised voice around her.

Xuantang Xingjun also said, "In the past, no one was stationed here; it was just an empty transmission array."

"So the youngster is Daoist friend Sui Lv's senior disciple."

"He had an urgent matter back then and returned early; he didn't expect to take on another disciple." Master Liao Wu was quite surprised.

Jiang Yu said timidly, "Junior, I still don't know what's going on."

"It's you and that little dragon that disappeared not long ago; Daoist friend Sui Lv took you in as a named disciple."

"Being a named disciple also makes you a disciple, yet he still doesn't know where that little dragon is." Xu Zhenjun planned to kill two birds with one stone, thinking that messaging the Dragon clan could also earn a big profit.

Jiang Yu shook her head, "We separated on the East Continent."

"Oh." Xu Zhenjun asked no further and chatted with Master Liao Wu about the cultivation worlds on both sides.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu and Guo Jue sat opposite at another table in silence; she especially wanted to leave, but knew she could not disturb the three Nascent Soul cultivators speaking.

She silently used her divine sense to write her current situation on the communication jade, hoping Jiang Bai could reply instantly.

In a few breaths, Jiang Bai indeed replied instantly: "I am in the East Sea; I'll immediately find Lin Yuan to report to the sect."

"Half a year ago, I was still teaming up with him and Wan Xiyue to search for you."

At the same time, Sui Lv Zhenjun received the news, immediately informed his junior sister and nephew, and said he would go fetch the person.

Sect Master Lin Quan originally disagreed; a junior isn't unaware of the road, why should the elders personally fetch?

But upon learning the person was brought back by Master Liao Wu, he could only agree for the sect uncle to thank him in person.

Yet the Sui Lv group had not left the sect when they received a message delivered by Lin Yuan and his son.

He turned to find the father‑son pair, hoping to speak directly with Jiang Yu, but unfortunately they were merely relaying messages.

"Does Lin Yuan have her previous communication talisman?"

"Yes."

"Then you come with me; we'll enter within Wanli to contact her."

Thus, another person joined those coming to fetch Jiang Yu.

However, even with more people, they could not meet her immediately.

Jiang Yu grew increasingly bored sitting there; she didn't want to keep holding the communication jade to write continuously.

Over there the Nascent Souls talked behind sound‑proof domes, while opposite the young monk Guo Jue dutifully recited sutras silently.

She had matters on her mind and could not settle down to meditate, nor dare to enter a cultivation state in a place she completely didn't understand.

So she could only sink her divine sense into the Dragon Pearl, and then saw one missing, "Where is Ao Ze?"

"He's hiding in a wooden hut, not coming out; he probably most doesn't want to return."

"Also afraid of meeting the Dragon clan." Jiang Tu thought that after several years, the Dragon clan could not be just waiting for Ao Ze to be offered; they had probably already replaced him with another dragon.

"As for you, you actually became a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Does that mean you can later address Sect Master Lin Quan as senior brother or sister?"

"I'm only a named disciple; I wouldn't dare to loudly call the sect master senior brother." Jiang Yu was self‑aware; Sui Lv Zhenjun was probably just expressing an attitude to the world.

While she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard Guo Jue's voice transmission: "Daoist friend Jiang, shall we exchange a message?"

"Sure." Jiang Yu just agreed when the other side handed over a Wanli communication jade, but it was produced on the East Continent.

She couldn't help but transmit, "I wonder if the communication jade from Tian Yuan Continent can interoperate with it."

"It's compatible; my master said the refining method is the same, just exchange divine‑sense imprints." Guo Jue, newly arrived at Tian Yuan, was still blind to the Great Enlightenment Temple.

His master was often busy, and he personally hoped for a peer Daoist friend he could talk with.

He and Jiang Yu exchanged the communication jade imprints, and he asked, "Have you ever been to the Great Enlightenment Temple?"

"I passed by once, didn't go in." Jiang Yu, just after retrieving the communication jade, heard several Nascent Souls speaking.

It turned out the three Nascent Souls had removed their sound‑proof domes, and Xu Zhenjun was about to lead everyone out.

Jiang Yu thought this might be some island, but unexpectedly the underground stone hall she exited, upon sight, was a familiar scene.

Mountains overlapped, birds vied in song.

Somewhere in the Southern Heaven Mountain Range! She would definitely not mistake it.

As expected, Xu True Lord said: "This is closest to the Great Enlightenment Temple; fellow Daoists, when you have leisure, come often."

"Definitely, definitely, when Sui Lü Dao Friend's supreme-grade spirit tea arrives, this poor monk will surely come to disturb." Liaowu Master promised, immediately rose on an escape light, and took the two of them away.

Along the way she occasionally looked down below, and finally discovered that the teleportation array was only a few thousand li from the place where she had once taken the trial to enter the sect.

And their party also stopped at the nearby Southern Heaven Market.

"Master, shouldn't we go back to the temple directly?" Guojue had studied the map; this market is only a hundred thousand li from the Great Enlightenment Temple.

Liaowu Master said: "Wait here for a moment for Sui Lü Dao Friend."

I will invite the Master and Guojue Dao Friend to eat vegetarian meal.

The vegetarian banquet at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the Southern Heaven Market is unsurpassed.' Jiang Yu had once lived near this market, but back then she lacked spirit stones to sample it.

Guojue thought the Master would politely decline, but didn't expect the Master to willingly go, nor did he expect that this vegetarian restaurant would be so delicious as to leave him stuffed.

And while waiting for them to finish tea after a meal and go downstairs, in the group of people going upstairs, someone looked at Jiang Yu: "Jiang Yu! You you you…"

"Fellow Daoist, long time no see." Jiang Yu was just preparing to go to the Harmony Union Sect, but someone showed up on their own—how great!
