Chapter 2366

Yan Aohan instantly understood what Zhu Yanyi meant. It was indeed a very important matter, and Ma Tianliang and the other two were unquestionably loyal.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan found an open space. Zhu Yanyi sent a mental message to several people from the Sage Academy. It wasn’t just a few; most were the original seventeen, plus a few others she had befriended later. She did not wish to see anyone else.

Ouyang Tianyun and Yi Yunfei were discussing matters, as they were now elders with many duties. Unexpectedly, they heard Zhu Yanyi’s message. If only one had heard it, they might have thought it was a mistake. But since both heard it, they knew it was real. They exchanged a glance and hurried to the meeting place. At the school gate, they saw Jian Feiyan and many others coming out. They immediately realized they hadn’t misheard. Zhu Yanyi had truly returned.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan roasting a wild boar over a fire, they walked over smiling.

"Yanyi, it’s been so long," Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I’m leaving soon, so I wanted to gather with you before I go."

"Going up there?" Yi Yunfei pointed to the sky.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "I have broken through. I’m going up now. I don’t know when I’ll see you again."

"You’d better wait for us up there," Ouyang Tianyun said directly. It was clear he had found his own goal.

It was normal, after all. Ouyang Tianyun was the adopted son of an Immortal Emperor. Returning to the Immortal Realm was expected.

"Do you have a plan?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "I’m working hard. No matter what, I will break through and return up there as soon as possible. Remember when I used the Nine-Curve Xiaoxiang Grass to refine the Time-Reversal Pill? After succeeding, I realized my sister should be in the Fox Clan. To find her, I must go to the Fox Clan. To enter the Fox Immortal Realm, I must become an Immortal and break through the void. So, I will work very hard."

"Hearing that puts me at ease. Then I’ll wait for you up there," Zhu Yanyi said. She trusted them. No one could ascend alone.

All these people had the potential to ascend. It just depended on who got the opportunity first.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment, then took out a box. She opened it, revealing small porcelain bottles inside. "Each of you take three bottles. These will help your cultivation. Don’t use them all at once. Take it slow."

Zhu Yanyi was giving them Spirit Liquid. For cultivators, it was the best resource.

Yi Yunfei took three bottles and opened one. A wave of spiritual energy hit her. She quickly closed it. This was definitely a good thing. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Junior Sister Yanyi, if it were something else, we might refuse. But this is truly useful to us, so we won’t return it."

"Once given, it’s yours. Why return it? Since I’m giving it to you, I still have enough for myself. Don’t worry," Zhu Yanyi said, then paused. "Just remember one thing: this is good, but don’t use too much. External aids are never as good as what you cultivate yourself."

"Okay, we’ll remember," Yi Yunfei nodded seriously.

Sikong Xuran asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"I’ll leave after gathering with you," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Although my cultivation has entered the Immortal stage, I haven’t ascended yet. So, I’m not truly free from the mortal realm, nor a true Immortal. But my cultivation has reached this point, so I shouldn’t spend too much time compressing it. It’s better to leave early."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi took a sip of her flower wine. "Besides, since I’m destined to leave, why hesitate? For us cultivators, following nature is one thing, but making decisive choices when needed is another. Remember this for the future. Also, leaving doesn’t mean I can’t come back. Moreover, only by leaving can I protect what we want to protect."

The planet of the original Huaxia Mortal Realm now belonged to Zhu Yanyi because of her presence. She didn’t worry about other cultivators discovering and taking it. Knowing what happened in her own realm was simple; she could sense it with a thought.

"Junior Sister Yanyi, when you go up there, remember to get a fixed place. At least, when we ascend, we’ll have a place to stay," Lei Danfeng said.

"Junior Brother Danfeng is right," Gu Jun said. "We don’t have familiar people up there, so we can only rely on you, Junior Sister."

Zhu Yanyi glared at them. "Are you not ashamed?"

"We are not! Who asked us to all know each other?" Gu Jun grinned mischievously. This brought everyone back to the times when they had experienced many things together.

"Alright, I’ll remember your words. If you have time to train in the Huaxia Mortal Realm, remember to visit my son. Her name is Yan Xibei. If things are fine, that’s good. If she suffers any injustice at home, please help her," Zhu Yanyi said.

"No problem," everyone said. For them, this was a small matter. Training was inevitable, and although the time in each realm was short, helping one person was easy.

Whether gathering or parting, despite their reluctance, they knew that joy and sorrow were common. So, they could only bless Zhu Yanyi.

At this moment, Zhu Yanyi felt happy. Even though she was leaving, at least she wasn’t estranged from her fellow disciples.

"Everyone, take care." After the meal, it was time to part. There were no extra words, only wishes for each other’s well-being.

"We’ll see you up there," everyone waved to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan flew into the sky. Yan Aohan slightly tore a rift in the space, and they left this realm.

Zhu Yanyi began a new journey.

As Zhu Yanyi entered the new realm, she felt a dense aura of immortality. Combined with her previous state of mind, her cultivation rose rapidly.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t even know what level she had reached. But after she finished her business, she found Yan Aohan and Ouyang Mingyue drinking tea and chatting comfortably nearby, waiting for her transformation to complete.
