Chapter 457: Chapter 415: Temporary Farewell (Additional Update for February Yue Rewards 3)

Jiang Yuebai and the others stayed on Wentian Island for half a month, cultivating together, laboring in the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, shopping on the island, just like the carefree days at the Heavenly Interence Sect.

But the days of temporary farewell still arrived. First, Xie Jingshan received a letter from his mother, asking him to return to Kongfang City to assist his father in managing the Mountain and Sea Building and the Hongyan Building.

This time, Xie Jingshan didn’t resist at all. Upon receiving the letter, he immediately packed his bags, bid farewell to Xie Tianbao, and embarked on the journey home.

Xie Tianbao was relieved, finally seeing Xie Jingshan grow up, willing to shoulder the family responsibilities.

Before leaving, Xie Jingshan repeatedly cautioned Jiang Yuebai, he even ’cursed’ Jiang Yuebai, saying that if she dared to run away with Lu Nanzhi first, he would tear down all the houses in her cave heaven and uproot all the spiritual medicine.

Jiang Yuebai responded with a chuckle, leaving Xie Jingshan helpless.

A few days after Xie Jingshan’s departure, Lu Nanzhi also decided to leave. She said that if she stayed any longer, she would be spoiled by Jiang Yuebai’s ’tenderness’, and she was more accustomed to days filled with slaughter and unknown crises.

Jiang Yuebai escorted Lu Nanzhi to the dock, coincidentally encountering Ling Guanghan returning from the Mortal World.

Lu Nanzhi hesitated, still unable to call out ’Master’, this time Ling Guanghan actively approached Lu Nanzhi.

That day, Jiang Yuebai sat by the dock, watching Ling Guanghan take Lu Nanzhi to the beach, testing her swordsmanship and guiding her in techniques.

No accusations, no concerns, just a master and a disciple typically exchanging sword skills.

"Take care outside, send a message if needed."

Leaving a simple sentence, Ling Guanghan departed, controlling the skies. Lu Nanzhi could no longer hold back and shouted.

"Master!"

Ling Guanghan stopped, turned slightly, nodded, and then disappeared into the distance.

Lu Nanzhi stood alone, shedding silent tears.

Jiang Yuebai went over to embrace the rare fragile Lu Nanzhi, letting her cry as much as she wanted. Lu Nanzhi didn’t cry for long, wiped away the tears, revealing a bright smile, her eyes shining even more.

"Little Bai, in my life, the thing I least regret is joining the Heavenly Interence Sect."

Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Me too."

Lu Nanzhi left, traveling alone, and Jiang Yuebai went to bid farewell to Wenn Miao, continuing her own path.

After Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi left, Wenn Miao complained half a day, fussing over every detail, but for her, Wenn Miao just said one thing.

"Understood, hurry and leave."

The tone somewhat impatient, hinting at pushing her to leave.

Rebellious, Jiang Yuebai stayed longer at Wenn Miao’s place, asking about the issues encountered during her cultivation over the past half month, especially her concerns about the Nascent Soul and future Divinity Transformation.

The Five Elements Returning to Truth Skill can only be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. Beyond that, for Divinity Transformation, she needs to seek other cultivation techniques, anticipating problems early.

Especially her Five Spirits Body almost formed a First Grade during Core Formation due to insufficient Spiritual Energy, so she’s worried the same issue will occur during Nascent Soul formation.

If I were you, why would I send you to the Upper Realm so early? It’s because the Spiritual Energy in the Earth Spiritual Realm can’t satisfy your cultivation needs anymore. You don’t need to worry about cultivation techniques; those in the Upper Realm are better than those in the Earth Spiritual Realm. You can find them when you get there.

Hearing Wenn Miao’s words, Jiang Yuebai’s heart immediately settled.

Initially wanting to ask if she could cultivate the Three Paths of Human, Demon, and Devil simultaneously, Wenn Miao swiftly kicked her out of the yard, landing right at her master’s feet.

"Lii Jiuchuan, take control of your rebellious disciple!"

Lii Jiuchuan couldn’t help but laugh, Jiang Yuebai got up, muttering, "If not to make you elders happy, how could my iron body be kicked flying so easily?"

"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to the Demon Clan?"

Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Master, are you staying on Wentian Island to help clear the Asura Domain together?"

Lii Jiuchuan nodded, "Yes, since our Heavenly Interence Sect is leading this, as the True Monarch of the sect, I should stay to help organize everything. Come, I’ll see you off."

"Wait, I didn’t plan to leave now. Xie Jingshan asked me to pick up something from True Monarch Tianbao..."

"Is it this?" Lii Jiuchuan flipped his hand, producing a transparent disk and handing it to Jiang Yuebai.

"Is it ready? How does this work?"

Jiang Yuebai inspected the disk, finding it seemingly ordinary, feeling weightless in hand, and unable to probe it with Divine Sense.

She summoned her Five Elements Lotus Platform, discovering the disk fit perfectly at the base. Once attached, she activated her Divine Sense, causing the disk to ripple like water and both disappeared.

"So, Master, can you sense the presence of the Lotus Platform?"

Lii Jiuchuan reached out, sensing nothing as he focused hard on the spot where the platform vanished.

"Since I know something was here, concentrating fully allows me to sense slight traces. Without prior knowledge of the Lotus Platform’s existence, it’s likely challenging to detect anything."

"That’s enough, just sufficient. I’m not entering the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven to hide, just to ensure when I occasionally enter, the platform won’t be taken away."

Lii Jiuchuan escorted Jiang Yuebai to the dock, asking on the way if she could cultivate the Three Paths of Human, Demon, and Devil.

Lii Jiuchuan, amused but helpless, patiently explained.

"I’ve seen in ancient books that during Ancient Times, the Heavenly Witch Clan practiced the Three Paths of Human, Demon, and Devil simultaneously; Human Technique for Qi Refinement, Sorcery for Refining God, Magic for Body Refining. However, there’s a problem of Demonic Qi being domineering, devouring Spiritual and Demon Energy. Solving this isn’t recorded in ancient books, only known to the Heavenly Witch Clan of Ancient Times."

"The present-day Extraordinary People Country, though descendants of the Heavenly Witch Clan, has long lost their heritage. If you can find a way to resolve the issue of Demonic Qi’s domineering nature devouring Spiritual and Demon Energy, cultivating the Three Paths is possible. But without absolute certainty, don’t attempt recklessly; you risk destroying your foundation."

"What about Yin Qi? It’s not as domineering as Demonic Qi. Can Spiritual Energy suppress it, maybe temporarily use Yin Qi instead of Demonic Qi?" Jiang Yuebai continued asking.

"You can ask Shen Huaxi about how to cultivate Spiritual and Yin Energy simultaneously when you reach the Extraordinary People Country. The dock is here; wait for the boat yourself. I have things to attend to; I’m leaving."

With that, Lii Jiuchuan took off with Tunneling Light, leaving Jiang Yuebai calling for him but failing.

"Escaping so quickly, what’s so scary about a few questions? Leaving me here alone, aren’t you afraid I’ll be kidnapped by Evil Cultivators?"

At dusk on the dock, a bustling crowd, merchant ships and cargo ships busy loading and unloading goods.

The Evil Cultivators on Wentian Island had almost all fled; it was very safe. Jiang Yuebai sighed, found a passenger ship, rented a Quiet Room, and embarked on her journey to the Demon Clan.

Wondering if the Phoenix is well, if it’s shedding feathers, and if the other Divine Beast descendants in the Demon Clan are also losing feathers, they must be quite troubled...
