Chapter 3004

Yan Xiwan stayed in the hospital for several days.

Only after the patient’s poison was fully expelled did she proceed with the gu removal. She then gave final instructions to the hospital director before leaving.

Her main reason for returning home was to take a bath and change her clothes.

“Have the other two been caught?” Yan Xiwan asked.

Ouyang Tianyun sighed and shook his head slightly. “They both fled abroad. They transferred through their target country and disappeared. We don’t know which nation they are in now.”

“Then we can only leave it to fate,” Yan Xiwan said helplessly.

Sometimes, disasters truly depend on heavenly will.

“At least, with you in Zhonghua, if they return, they will be isolated immediately. However, I fear they may never return,” Ouyang Tianyun said.

If they did not return, the virus would erupt in their current location.

Yan Xiwan did not know how to respond. “Perhaps this is a cleansing by the Heavenly Dao for humanity.”

Every transitional era undergoes a purification. Zhonghua was currently very clear in its path. The future was an era of declining magic and rising technology, necessitating a transition. Thus, such a person had appeared.

Unluckily, this person fell into Yan Xiwan’s hands. Zhonghua’s calamity was thus resolved, but other countries were not so fortunate.

Yan Xiwan was aware that she had dedicated years to strengthening the physical health of her citizens. Therefore, even during this transitional period, there would be no major issues.

Ouyang Tianyun understood this as well. A good doctor’s existence was crucial for a nation.

When the patient was ninety percent recovered, Grandpa Ouyang passed away.

Since the patient was in a state of recovery, Yan Xiwan did not need to stay. She and Ouyang Tianyun hurried to the old residence.

“Grandpa passed away with a smile. He said he had lived for a century, which was his blessing. He asked us not to make his funeral too complicated,” Ouyang Tianyun’s father told him.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. “Although the funeral need not be complex, proper etiquette must still be observed.”

It took a week to complete Grandpa Ouyang’s funeral arrangements.

After the funeral, the Ouyang family settled back into quietness.

Yan Xiwan was deeply moved by the Ouyang family’s actions. Many people were reluctant to give up their power and status, but the Ouyang family did not. When comparing family members to power, they always chose family.

Yan Xiwan sighed emotionally. “Mom and Dad seem to have aged quite a bit these years. We should visit them more often to keep them company.”

“That is good. My mecha inheritance now has a successor. I have been studying spacecraft these days. I think, after our parents pass away, we will leave to explore the universe. Halfway there, we will go directly to the Cultivation World. What do you think?” Ouyang Tianyun asked Yan Xiwan.

Yan Xiwan had no objections. “Let’s do it.”

Zhonghua had already taken a different path. Its technological development was accelerating rapidly, and Ouyang Tianyun’s contribution was unparalleled.

Over the next thirty years, Yan Xiwan and Ouyang Tianyun researched project after project. They never considered going elsewhere until, thirty years later, they saw off their last elder. Then, they began preparing for their journey to the Cultivation World.

Publicly, they claimed they were going to explore the universe.

Ouyang Tianyun’s achievements were evident. Zhonghua’s mecha technology was mature. His absence would cause no problems.

Thus, the authorities finally agreed to his request to go to space.

The couple piloted their spacecraft into space. Once they confirmed no one was watching, they smiled at each other and flew together toward the Cultivation World.

In the Cultivation World, within the Ethereal Palace hidden for thousands of years, a disturbance suddenly occurred. The Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress appeared.

“This boy has finally returned,” the Immortal Emperor remarked with emotion.

Although Ouyang Tianyun was his adopted son, he still held affection for him. When Ouyang Tianyun failed to ascend to the Divine Realm earlier, he had been deeply uneasy.

Ouyang Tianyun appeared in the Ethereal Palace. Seeing the Immortal Emperor and Empress, he hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Master and Mistress.” He then looked around anxiously.

“What are you looking for?” the Immortal Emperor asked.

“My wife,” Ouyang Tianyun asked helplessly. “When we came from the lower realm to this Cultivation World, we encountered a spatial current during the transition through the spatial channel. I lost contact with my wife. Master, do you know where she is?”

“Look.” The Immortal Emperor waved his hand. An image appeared in the air, showing Yan Xiwan clearly in a water town.

Yan Xiwan looked around, confirming she was in a completely unfamiliar place. However, she was not anxious. After all, she was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so she had no worries.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this Cultivation World was so abundant that she decided to absorb some first before deciding on her next steps.

Ignoring other matters, Yan Xiwan realized she did not know where Ouyang Tianyun was. If only they had refined some communication talismans instead of being unable to contact each other now.

Here, mobile phones were useless.

Things will work out when they reach the bridge. Yan Xiwan thought calmly and began to cultivate.

Perhaps due to accumulated potential, or because Yan Xiwan truly possessed exceptional talent, she quickly broke through from the Nascent Soul realm to the early stage of the Divided Soul realm.

Yan Xiwan stopped her cultivation. She sighed in relief. Her main priority now was to consolidate her early Divided Soul stage and then figure out where she was.

As she thought, she noticed a patch of medicinal herbs not far from her location.

Yan Xiwan did not hesitate. Since she loved pharmacy, she decided to harvest the herbs first.

After harvesting the herbs and changing her clothes, she chose a direction and began to walk forward.

The Cultivation World was vast. Since she did not know where to go immediately, she might as well wander around.

Yan Xiwan was not worried about Ouyang Tianyun. she had spent time in the Cultivation World before, and she trusted she would come looking for her.

Since she was in no rush, she walked slowly. After half a month of walking, she finally saw a city.

Yan Xiwan realized that cities in the Cultivation World were not much different from those in the mortal realm, except for the abundance of spiritual energy.

Upon entering the city, Yan Xiwan found a hotel and booked a superior room.

She did not have much else, but she had plenty of spirit stones. In the Cultivation World, spirit stones were the circulating currency, so Yan Xiwan did not worry about starving.

After resting in her superior room, Yan Xiwan finally had the mood to learn about the city.
