Chapter 491 They Shouldn't Have Been Separated in the First Place
The flying boats of various sects gathered in Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, forming a vast, dark mass that obscured the beautiful sunset within the cave heaven.
Xue Tong stood at the entrance of the main venue and looked up at the sky:
"This is much bigger than the last Ascension Ceremony!"
"That's natural. The war in the desolate region is intense, and all the major sects plan to recruit more disciples this time."
A man in white descended from the clouds, holding a folding fan, his voice cheerful and clear.
The girl glanced at the young man who had landed in front of her, her tone tinged with doubt:
"Did you go thief last night?"
Yan Chengxue raised her hand and conjured a water mirror, in which she saw two dark circles under her eyes.
The young man rubbed his temples:
"Xue Lan is going to participate in the Wan Gong Fang trial, and I haven't been idle either!"
The young man looked around, then secretly sent a telepathic message to Xue Tong:
"After returning from Yandu, I went back to the Lei Kui Formation to learn formation techniques from that senior."
"I haven't slept for three months in total."
Xue Tong couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"I understand, I understand. Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person."
Yan Chengxue smiled upon hearing this, then looked around:
"Where is Xue Lan? I need to talk to her."
The girl raised her hand and pointed behind her:
"She's doing something big in the weapon-refining cave on Jiyuan Peak."
Yan Chengxue smiled and expressed her disbelief: "What big thing could she possibly do with Xu Qizhou here?"
"Take me to her."
Xue Tong felt that she was born to be a hard worker.
Early in the morning, Xu Qinghe dragged her to the front to be a receptionist, and after finally finishing the reception, she had to be Yan Chengxue's guide.
There's always work to be done.
Xue Lan had just finished assembling the last section of the whip in her weapon-refining cave and hadn't even had a chance to properly admire her masterpiece when she heard Xue Tong's voice coming from outside the cave:
"Xue Lan, Yan Chengxue has arrived."
Her tone was full of resentment; she even stopped calling him "sister."
The woman put away the dragon bone whip, then raised her hand to open the door.
The door had barely opened a crack when a white figure darted in.
The young man's tone was filled with barely concealed joy:
"I heard from my master that you will be staying at the War Puppet Mansion after the Ascension Ceremony. All the refining resources in the entire War Puppet Mansion will be allocated to your Myriad Crafts Workshop. Could you please save some for me then?"
Xue Lan's expression froze as the woman picked up a hammer from the smelting table and threw it at her.
"Oh my God!"
"I thought you and I were close friends and came to see me especially for the occasion, but I didn't expect you to stop pretending now!"
Yan Chengxue slightly turned her body, smoothly dodging Xue Lan's hammer, and said with a grin:
"I thought you would have gotten used to it by now. Weapon cultivators, array cultivators, and puppet cultivators have always been good-tempered and don't like to fight. All they ask for is a little bit of material."
Xue Lan suspected there was something wrong with her ears, but the woman spoke with a forced smile:
"A little bit of ingredients?"
The young man in white nodded shamelessly:
"That's right, just a little bit."
Xue Lan didn't really want to continue the topic. She found a box in the corner of the cave and put the dragon bone whip inside, intending to give it to Du Tao before going to the War Puppet Mansion.
The dragon bones of the three-headed Heavenly Python were too conspicuous. Before Xue Lan regained his identity and broke through to the sixteenth realm of the Demon Lord, he did not plan to imbue it with spirit.
Seeing that Xue Lan remained silent, Yan Chengxue lowered her voice and spoke:
"Let's discuss it?"
Xue Lan put the box in her hand into her sleeve:
"Not negotiable."
"Where's Junjun? Why didn't she come with you?" Xue Lan asked Yan Chengxue.
"After returning from Yandu, her cultivation and puppetry skills improved, and she went into seclusion to break through."
"She will probably have emerged from seclusion by the time you go to the War Puppet Mansion."
Xue Lan pondered for a moment, and based on Wu Yijun's performance when he ambushed Lin Shuang, he should indeed break through.
"Why don't you break through?" the woman asked Yan Chengxue.
"You and Junjun have been cultivating together since childhood, why don't you break through?"
Yan Chengxue was stunned.
"This...I...I've already..."
After stammering for a long time, the young man finally sighed and told the truth:
"I encountered constraints."
Xue Lan nodded knowingly: "That makes sense."
Yan Chengxue spoke somewhat displeased:
"Just five words? Aren't you going to ask me what kind of obstacle I'm facing?"
"You want me to ask?" Xue Lan pointed to herself:
"Yan Chengxue, when did you start to trust my array formation skills?"
These words were like a wake-up call; Yan Chengxue waved her hands repeatedly.
"I won't ask anymore."
The young man took a small stool from the side and sat down:
“You’ve only been out of the Wan Gong Fang for a few days, so you don’t know much about what’s going on outside.”
"I have some news for you today."
"What news?" Xue Lan asked while tidying up the things on the smelting platform.
Yan Chengxue chuckled softly, then spoke mysteriously:
"You already know that Lei Chuxi and the others went down to the mortal realm to deal with the traitorous Peacock Lord of the Peacock Clan, right?"
Xue Lan nodded gently.
"A powerful being from the demon race searched the souls of the traitorous demons and learned that the chaos in the lower realm was actually related to a certain human family in the upper realm."
Xue Lan understood that it was probably about the Lin family again.
But even though he knew it in his heart, he still had to pretend to be extremely surprised:
"How could this be? Aren't we all beings from the Yuanming Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Chengxue glanced at Xue Lan gently, her voice tinged with weariness:
"Xue Lan, the upper realm and the lower realm are ultimately different."
"A thousand years ago, a powerful demon from the upper realm gathered the strength of all living beings to fight against the demon gods, forcing them not to invade the upper realm for thirteen hundred years." The young man's expression was somewhat envious.
Xue Tong, who had been standing not far away, looked at Xue Lan when he heard the young man mention the powerful beings of the upper realm. Sure enough, he saw a smug smile on the woman's lips.
That expression seemed to say:
"Although I am no longer in the martial arts world, my legend still lives on."
Yan Chengxue recalled the indignant expression on her master's face when he spoke of the intervention of the upper realm, and softly began to speak:
"Xue Lan, don't you think it would be great if the Yuanming Realm could be split in two?"
"The upper realm is the upper realm, and the lower realm is the lower realm."
"We will not help each other, but we will also not collude with the demons to interfere."
The young man's voice was extremely hoarse; his heart ached whenever he thought of the immortal disciples and soldiers constantly fighting on the front lines.
After fighting to the death to the very end, they discovered that arrows from their own kind were embedded in their bodies...
How painful that must be.
Xue Lan tidied up the smelting table, walked over, and patted the young man on the shoulder:
"Inseparable."
"We shouldn't have separated in the first place."
The upper and lower realms of Yuanming Realm were originally one. Ten thousand years ago, powerful beings built a barrier to prevent demonic energy from polluting the earth's veins and the Yellow Springs, thus destroying the foundation of countless living beings in Yuanming Realm.
Instead of creating a chasm that divides people into different classes.
But what right does she have to say these things?
Born in the Northern Region of the Upper Realm, Lord Wolf has cultivated for a thousand years with smooth sailing.
Saying that sounds a bit hypocritical.
So she doesn't talk, she just does.
Xue Lan smiled:
"After the Ascension Ceremony, there will be a meeting of the sect leaders. I'm lucky this year, and I'll get a position."
"Wait a moment, there might be a good outcome."
