Chapter 2551

The Azure Sovereign’s sect had no objections, so for the next seven days, everyone could rest or watch the spectacle as they pleased.

Zhu Yanyi was ordered by Yan Aohan to rest in the tent, treating it like a postpartum confinement period.

Naturally, cultivators only needed a few days to recover; there was no such thing as a real "confinement." In fact, after just one day—which equated to a month inside her Ruyi Space—Zhu Yanyi’s body had fully recovered. However, following Yan Aohan’s strict instructions, she continued to rest properly.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi had things to do inside the space. Her main goal was to consolidate her cultivation, which led to a breakthrough.

She advanced from the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm to the mid-stage.

For others, this was merely a seven-day consolidation period. But for Zhu Yanyi, inside the space, it felt like seven months.

However, she did not stay for the full seven months. She reappeared before everyone after five days.

Cultivators did not need postpartum confinement. After five days of recuperation, Zhu Yanyi had fully recovered. Most importantly, her cultivation had entered the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

The most unbelievable part was that her cultivation breakthrough did not trigger any tribulation clouds.

They would never know that Zhu Yanyi practiced heart cultivation, and given her status as the Venerable Yanluo’s consort, the tribulation clouds would be foolish to trouble her.

After the child fell asleep, Zhu Yanyi placed the baby in the space under the care of the flame spirit before coming out.

Yan Aohan saw Zhu Yanyi emerge but did not ask about the child. Their spaces were connected, so she already knew the child was safe with the flame spirit.

"How were these five days? Was it lively?" Zhu Yanyi sat beside Yan Aohan and asked casually.

Yan Aohan hummed. "Quite lively. At least we have a lead on the evil cultivators." He nodded toward the people on the stage.

Two people were on the stage, representing two different gangs. One of them, a middle-aged man, had faint black aura surrounding him.

Generally, demonic cultivators also had black auras, but theirs was relatively clear. The black aura around this middle-aged man was extremely turbid. Turbid black aura indicated he was not a demonic cultivator, but an evil cultivator.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. "This person on stage has low cultivation. Many people should be able to see it clearly. Why aren’t they arresting her?"

"It’s not that they won’t arrest him. They want to know how many others like him exist," Yan Aohan said calmly. "Be careful. I worry they will focus their attention on you."

"Don’t worry," Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Focusing on me is useless. I never intended to let them catch me."

Zhu Yanyi understood Yan Aohan’s concern. Although her cultivation had recovered and improved, she had just given birth. After a moment of thought, she said, "Rest assured, I will be fine. Have you forgotten? I am now an Immortal Emperor."

Not all immortals could easily reach the Immortal Emperor stage. The next level was the Immortal Venerable. Currently, even the leaders of the five major sects were only at the Immortal Emperor stage, and Zhu Yanyi had reached their level.

The Immortal Emperor and Immortal Empress had also witnessed Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation.

The Immortal Emperor whispered to the Immortal Empress, "With Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation, if she visits the Nine Heavens Immortal Pool, she will likely emerge as an Immortal Venerable."

"That is good. Breaking through to the Divine Realm sooner will allow us to end certain matters earlier," the Immortal Empress smiled slightly, then pointed to the people on the stage. "What do you plan to do about this?"

"Aren’t I fishing? It will be soon. The fish will bite shortly," the Immortal Emperor smiled reassuringly at the Empress.

The Immortal Empress hummed. "Hurry up. The Empress of the Divine Realm contacted me. We need to clean up the Immortal Realm soon."

The Immortal Emperor did not object to this. He nodded and said, "If this operation goes well, ninety-nine percent will be cleaned up. The remaining one percent will not be a threat."

Zhu Yanyi watched the fight on the stage. The middle-aged man’s cultivation was actually not high, yet strangely, she could hold her own against her opponent.

"This evil cultivator is not easy to deal with," Zhu Yanyi said to Yan Aohan. "I noticed that although her cultivation is low, she can resist the opponent’s attacks. This suggests there is something wrong with her cultivation method."

"The problem is not too big. As they say, evil cannot overcome good. This is the Immortal Realm, where righteous energy is abundant. So, this evil energy can only run rampant for a short time before becoming useless," Yan Aohan said with a smile.

Cui Wan looked around and then approached with curiosity. "Master, where is Junior Sister?"

"In a safe place," Zhu Yanyi answered casually. She then said to Cui Wan, "I didn’t supervise you for these five days. Did you cause any trouble?"

Cui Wan looked speechless. "Master, you really don’t trust us. With our current status, do we still need to cause trouble? Wherever we go, everyone stares at us."

Zhu Yanyi laughed heartily. "Envy, jealousy, and hatred."

"Yes," Cui Wan shook his head proudly. "But we are not arrogant."

"I do trust you on that point," Zhu Yanyi said. She truly trusted her on this matter.

Cui Wan added, "Actually, Master, the one who was misbehaving was Uncle Qianhuan."

"Qianhuan Sheng? What did she do?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously. She knew Qianhuan Sheng was not a well-behaved person, so she was not surprised by the news.

Cui Wan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Master, Uncle Qianhuan seems to have fallen for the Hall Master of the Hundred Changes Hall. Does he like her?"

"Qianhuan Sheng likes the Hall Master of the Hundred Changes Hall?" Zhu Yanyi blinked, confused. She then looked at Yan Aohan. "What is this news?"

Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "That is not the case. Qianhuan Sheng seems to have discovered some clues, so he has visited Yao Hua Yin Guo more frequently these days. Others may not understand Qianhuan Sheng, but we do. It is not easy for him to develop feelings."

Silver Fox’s personality was such that while he might like someone he had a good impression of, he could never fall in love. Even with Ling Shu, he only felt sibling-like affection. For Yao Hua Yin Guo to win the heart of this Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was simply a joke.

"However, Cui Wan reminded me of something," Zhu Yanyi said, not believing Silver Fox would fall in love. "Qianhuan Sheng is not young anymore. If she does not settle down properly, there will be more trouble in the future."

A Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in their Azure Sovereign’s Sect would indeed attract a swarm of romantic interests.

"You must trust Qianhuan Sheng," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "Even if he were to develop feelings, it would not happen now."

Seeing Yan Aohan’s certainty, Zhu Yanyi merely raised her eyebrows, wanting to say something, but then realized something had gone wrong.
