Join the ServerAfter exchanging their opinions, the six of them called out to Alliance Master Lin and the others without hesitation.
“No need to consider, we agree right now.”
Alliance Master Lin and the others smiled.
“He who understands the times is a wise man.”
“We only hope that you seniors will not take advantage of your Upper Realm cultivation to usurp the host’s position.”
But the female disciple from the Qian Yuan Gate chuckled.
“The reason we agreed is that you all are thinking too complicatedly.”
“We’re not afraid to tell you, the seal on this world will last for a thousand years at most.”
“After a thousand years, the seal will disappear, but it will also be the day your small world is destroyed.”
This was shocking news, but after a moment of blanking out, Alliance Master Lin and the others all calmed down.
“A thousand years?”
“I knew this seal wasn’t so simple.”
“I didn’t expect a thousand years of survival time.”
“May I ask, if you seniors had not found what you were looking for after descending to the lower realm, what else would you have done?” Alliance Master Lin asked again.
“We are all shrewd people, let’s not deceive each other.”
At this point, there was no need for the six of them to hide anything anymore.
“As expected of the lower realm’s Alliance Master, it seems you have thought of something.”
“That’s right, if we had not gotten what we wanted from that Haoyang, then we would have used brute force to take away this world’s treasury.”
“At that time, the small world would have surely been destroyed.”
After hearing this, Alliance Master Lin gave a bitter smile.
“Understood.”
A few days later, at Daoist Taixuan’s reclusive place.
Two figures flew over from a distance and stopped at Daoist Taixuan’s reclusive place.
Upon closer inspection, it was Yan Yun and Yan Lingyun.
The friend Yan Lingyun had mentioned was Daoist Taixuan.
Now, in the entire Sky Continent, only Daoist Taixuan and Yan Lingyun were from the same era.
“Wang Xuan, are you still alive?”
As this voice fell, a surprised voice came from a thatched hut below.
“Fairy Yan, you’ve been resurrected?”
With that, a seemingly ordinary, skinny old man walked out of the hut.
Daoist Taixuan’s appearance was no different from a seventy or eighty-year-old farmer.
It was hard to imagine that he was the number one person of the Righteous Dao.
“Mm, I’ve been resurrected.”
“I’ve come to talk to you about something good, I think you’ll definitely be interested.”
And so, Daoist Taixuan invited Yan Yun and Yan Lingyun down.
The two sides sat down under a large tree in the courtyard.
“Fairy, what good news do you have for this old one?”
“Now that heaven and earth are sealed, this old one’s lifespan is running out.”
“I’m afraid it won’t be long before my body dies and my Dao dissipates,” Daoist Taixuan said listlessly.
Hearing this, Yan Yun understood why Yan Lingyun had brought her to find this number one person of the Righteous Dao.
“Hahaha, Wang Xuan, don’t be so pessimistic.”
“As the saying goes, heaven never seals off all paths.”
“You old fellow, to have lived from our era until now, you are definitely not someone who lacks fortune.”
“Have you ever thought about why the Heavenly Dao has let you live until now?”
“That senior of the Tianchen Sect, why did he seal this world? What happened back then?” Yan Lingyun hinted at Daoist Taixuan.
As for the “Wang Xuan” Yan Lingyun mentioned, that was naturally Daoist Taixuan’s secular name.
The only person who knew this name was probably Yan Lingyun.
“Wang Xuan, it’s been a long time since anyone called me that.”
“Yes, I do know the truth of this world.”
“You and I have both entered the eighth and ninth levels.”
“Back then, I entered the ninth level and even took out a great treasure from it, which brought me a fatal disaster.”
“I am very curious what treasure you took out from inside back then,” Daoist Taixuan said.
Yan Lingyun’s eyes rolled, and she took out that key.
“A good thing, definitely a good thing.”
“Something you would never have imagined, it’s this thing.”
Daoist Taixuan looked at the golden key Yan Lingyun had placed on the table, confused.
“A key, what’s so special about this item?”
Yan Lingyun picked up the key and said with a playful smile, “This is the back-door key that connects the Tianchen world to the Xuanyuan Realm.”
After hearing this, Daoist Taixuan didn’t react immediately, but after a moment of spacing out, he suddenly stood up.
“Wait, a back-door key? Not the Heavenly Gate?” Daoist Taixuan pressed.
“It’s the back door.”
“This door was originally left by the Tianchen Sect for their own family and disciples.”
“The treasure I took out back then was this item.”
“This item can open a door at any time, allowing you to go to the Xuanyuan Realm,” Yan Lingyun replied.
Daoist Taixuan was excited, but this excitement was only for a moment, and he immediately calmed down.
“Fairy, why are you telling me this?” Daoist Taixuan asked, squinting his eyes.
Daoist Taixuan suspected that it was a trick.
After all, if there really was such a key, how many people would be willing to share it with others?
At least, if it were him, Taixuan, he couldn’t do it.
Yan Lingyun grinned.
“If I told you that I want you to go to the Upper Realm to be a vanguard, would you believe me?”
Daoist Taixuan’s brow furrowed.
“What, you’ve already been there?”
Yan Lingyun was not polite.
She directly took the key, inserted it into the void, and then a void gate appeared out of thin air in front of Daoist Taixuan.
“This?”
Daoist Taixuan was surprised to see this door.
Although he hadn’t entered it yet, he could already feel an aura fluctuation from behind the door that was completely different from the Tianchen Continent.
“This is the back door to leave the small world.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you in to have a look.”
Yan Lingyun and Yan Yun didn’t care if Daoist Taixuan followed them or not and walked right in.
Daoist Taixuan was not a coward.
If he couldn’t leave this world, he could only pass away, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
After a moment of hesitation, he also followed them in.
The moment Daoist Taixuan’s old body crossed the gate, his physical body was rejuvenated.
By the time he arrived at the ruins of the Tianchen Sect, he had transformed from an old man to a young man, a very elegant and handsome one at that.
As soon as Daoist Taixuan came out, he noticed the change in his body.
“This? I’ve become young again?” Daoist Taixuan was shocked.
This was the difference in the laws of heaven and earth of the two worlds.
After a lower realm cultivator entered the Upper Realm, their lifespan would be recalculated, meaning they would directly gain a thousand years of lifespan, so Daoist Taixuan naturally became young again.
“This is the Xuanyuan Realm, the ruins of the Tianchen Sect.”
“You can take a look and you’ll know if I’m bluffing you.”
Daoist Taixuan scanned his surroundings.
The environment and the remaining buildings told him that Yan Lingyun was indeed not bluffing him.
“It really is the ruins of the Tianchen Sect.”
“Any cultivator who has entered the eighth level can recognize it.”
“Since it’s like this, Fairy Yan, if you have anything to say, just say it.”
“I will definitely agree if I can do it,” Daoist Taixuan no longer had any doubts.
The ability to come to the Upper Realm through the Heavenly Gate was an irresistible temptation for lower realm cultivators.
“We can be considered old friends.”
“I have no requests, the only request is that in the future, if this descendant of mine comes to the Upper Realm and is in trouble, you need to help him once with all your strength.”
“This condition is not high, is it?”
Daoist Taixuan was slightly stunned, and then he glanced at Yan Yun.
“Just this condition?”
“If it’s just this condition, then I can agree now.”
“It’s just, why can’t this old one use his power? What’s going on?”
While agreeing, Taixuan also looked at his own hands.
Yan Lingyun raised a finger, pointed at her own forehead, and then used her magical power to condense the content she saw in her divine sense into a jade pendant and threw it to Daoist Taixuan.
“Take it.”
“You can’t use your power because the laws of the two worlds are different.”
“This is the meridian network of the Upper Realm’s laws that I have comprehended.”
“As long as you reconstruct the human body’s meridians according to the meridian network of the Upper Realm’s laws, you can recover your power.”
Daoist Taixuan only needed a glance to know that all this was true.
“Great kindness needs no thanks.”
“In that case, we will meet again by fate.”
Daoist Taixuan said this and was about to leave, not even planning to return to the lower realm.
“Eh? Wang Xuan, you’re just leaving like that?”
“Aren’t you going to go back and say goodbye to your acquaintances or descendants? Or pack your things?” Yan Lingyun called out.
Daoist Taixuan, however, laughed heartily.
“In the lower realm, I am the only one left.”
“I have no descendants.”
“As for the things there, if you are interested, just take them.”
“Fairy Yan, and you, little girl, I will definitely do what I promised you.”
“I look forward to meeting you again in the future.”
Soon, Daoist Taixuan disappeared from their sight.
“This, he just left like that?” Yan Yun was speechless.
Yan Lingyun gave a bitter smile.
“Little girl, when a cultivator cultivates to the end, most of them will have nothing left but the drive to become stronger.”
“Do you think everyone cultivates with their family like you?”
“This old fellow’s talent is not weaker than mine at all.”
“He will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the Upper Realm.”
“When you are in the Upper Realm, I believe he will have already reached a very high level.”
After a moment of lamentation, the two of them returned to the Tianchen Continent and went back to Daoist Taixuan’s reclusive place.
Although others couldn’t see Daoist Taixuan’s reclusive place, how could Yan Lingyun not see it?
Just take the large tree above their heads for example.
It looked like an ordinary locust tree.
But in fact, it was an Enlightenment Locust Tree, a very rare heavenly and earthly treasure.
Drinking tea made from its leaves had many wonderful uses, such as comprehending the great Dao of heaven and earth.
Especially for Divine Venerable cultivators, who could no longer rely on cultivation alone.
They needed to comprehend heaven and earth, so the role of the Enlightenment Locust Tree was great.
Yan Lingyun collected all the good things from Daoist Taixuan’s place one by one.
Now, with Yan Lingyun’s resurrection, and the connection between the two worlds being cut off, the Upper Realm could no longer remotely control the Righteous Dao Alliance.
So, Yan Yun no longer needed to be so timid when looking for Jiang Yao and the others.
Yan Yun accompanied Yan Lingyun on a trip back to the Jiang Country’s Yan family.
The cultivators of the Yan family were naturally extremely surprised.
Their ancestor from a thousand years ago was still alive.
Yan Yun’s grandfather led all the members of the Yan family to the main gate of the Yan family and knelt to welcome Yan Lingyun’s return.
“Descendants of the Yan family, welcome the return of our ancestor to the Yan family.”
Yan Lingyun glanced at the crowd.
“No need for that.”
“It’s been over a thousand years, I don’t have much to do with you anymore.”
“There’s no need to be so polite.”
“I’ve come this time to see the remains of my parents.”
“You should still have them, right?” Yan Lingyun asked.
The people of the Yan family immediately nodded.
“The remains of our ancestors are being enshrined in the ancestral hall.”
Yan Lingyun nodded and then, led by Yan Hua and the others, walked towards the ancestral hall.
As for Yan Hui and Yan Kun, they immediately came to Yan Yun’s side.
“Alright, you fellow, how many more secrets are you hiding from us?” Yan Kun asked.
Yan Yun spread her hands.
“There are many secrets, but it’s best if you don’t ask.”
“Every secret is a trouble.”
The two of them were also sensible, but Yan Yun suddenly found that someone was missing from the Yan family.
“Eh, where’s the eldest sister?” Yan Yun asked.
At the mention of Yan Xia, Yan Shi and Yan Ning immediately smiled.
“You don’t know?”
“The eldest sister has become a princess consort and has married into the Jiang Country’s royal family.”
This was unexpected news for Yan Yun.
“Is that so?”
“Was it the eldest sister’s own will, or the family’s decision?” Yan Yun still asked.
Although her relationship with her older sisters from the Yan family was not that deep, she didn’t want her sister to be forced into marriage.
That kind of feeling was not good.
Yan Kun quickly explained, “Don’t worry, there was no coercion.”
“That second prince, Jiang Chen, came to the Yan family in person.”
“After he met the eldest, second, and third sisters, the two of them looked at each other and fell in love.”
“We did not force them.”
