"Second Sister, are we going directly to the Upper Realm next?"
In the starry sky, Yu Zhibo and Bai Yinchen stared at each other for a moment, then Yu Zhibo asked.
As he spoke, he took out a Ascension Talisman.
This was given to him by Wang Shouyi, who said that if he crushed it, he would directly ascend to the Upper Realm to the Jie Fang Sect.
"Your Ascension Talisman..." Bai Yinchen took it and looked at it, a sneer appearing on her face.
"Could there be some conspiracy?" Yu Zhibo's heart skipped a beat. Could the Jie Fang Sect be a trap specifically designed to swindle Earth's ascending cultivators?
He had read too many novels.
"There's no need to be so suspicious." Bai Yinchen looked at him with a wry smile. "It's just that this Ascension Talisman is a bit low-level, but it's understandable. After all, your so-called Jie Fang Sect has no reputation in the Upper Realm at all."
Bai Yinchen explained, "This type of Ascension Talisman can only transport beings at the Nascent Divinity stage. If it were just you, you could ascend successfully, but you are with my little Jiu now."
"Strictly speaking, little Jiu is no longer at the Nascent Divinity stage; she is more between Nascent Divinity and Void Returning. It's fortunate you met me, otherwise, if you had crushed it rashly, you might have failed midway and been targeted by the Realm Demons who specialize in preventing lower realm cultivators from ascending."
As Bai Yinchen spoke, she tossed the Realm Breaking Talisman back.
Yu Zhibo took it back and sighed, "What a shame, I've delayed for too long."
"There's nothing to regret. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have met me, Second Sister. Second Sister is very happy to know that Jiu'er and Father are still alive," Bai Yinchen said, looking at him with a gentle expression.
Yu Zhibo pondered for a moment and said, "There were too many people on Green Rock Island just now, so it wasn't convenient for me to ask more. Second Sister, what happened ten thousand years ago? Why were you so surprised to see me and little Jiu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through his head, as if it were about to explode.
"You have a soul restriction on you? Let me see!" Bai Yinchen frowned, closed her beautiful eyes, and when she opened them again, a majestic aura descended, and a phantom image of a Heavenly Fox with red eyeshadow appeared behind her.
The phantom image merged into Bai Yinchen's body, causing a layer of gold to flash in her eyes, illuminating Yu Zhibo's entire body.
However, she found nothing unusual. Then her gaze became dazed:
Bai Yinchen felt her gaze fall into a desolate and lonely universe. Amidst endless stars, two colossal figures, a man and a woman, clad in moon-white robes, emerged. Their faces were blurred, but their eyes, vast as the sun and moon, were vaguely visible, with a hint of a smile in their depths.
Then she heard the woman among them say, "The time is not yet right, retreat!"
The woman's voice was like celestial music, ethereal, and as the words fell, Bai Yinchen's consciousness was repelled.
"This is..." After Bai Yinchen regained consciousness, her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of horror.
'Who is the unknowable terrifying existence manipulating things from behind the scenes?'
'Or are my brother-in-law and Ninth Sister the reincarnations of some mighty being?'
Those two vast and terrifying figures gave her a vague sense of familiarity, and then her head also began to ache.
It was as if she had glimpsed something that the Heavenly Dao did not permit to be spied upon.
Bai Yinchen pondered for a moment, then met Yu Zhibo's expectant gaze and said, "The time is not yet right, don't dwell on this matter for now... You are too weak."
Yu Zhibo: "..."
Damn it, he was already at the Nascent Divinity stage and still weak... Yu Zhibo thought of Green Rock Island, where Void Returning cultivators were everywhere, and had to admit the truth of this statement.
He said dejectedly, "Second Sister, do you have a way to ascend to the Upper Realm? I can't ascend now."
Bai Yinchen said helplessly, "I am only at the Void Returning stage now. If I reach the Mahayana stage, there might be a way to return."
"Doesn't Second Sister have a Heavenly Venerate true form?"
Bai Yinchen explained, "I have many enemies in the Upper Realm. If I were to bring both you and me up now, it would cause a huge stir, and who knows how many people would target us. Please wait patiently for a moment. I should reach the Mahayana stage before long."
Yu Zhibo said, "It can only be this way!"
He sighed, and a fleeting image of a pretty girl flashed in his mind. Yu Zhibo had a plan.
"Second Sister, I just made a friend not long ago. I can take this time to go and see her."
"Friend?"
"Second Sister, please look at my memories!" Yu Zhibo's gaze became hazy as he began to use his memory editing pupil technique.
[Look closely, this man's name is Yu Zhibo. A few years ago, he was entrusted by Wang Shouyi, the deputy director of the Earth's Divine Hua Bureau, to go to the realm vein land to find the heart of the Earth's realm vein...]
Listening to the background narration with its strange tone, Bai Yinchen's forehead showed a few black lines, but she still focused her attention.
"Xi Yang Yan Ji of the Golden Crow tribe?" Emerging from Yu Zhibo's memory footage, Bai Yinchen's face showed a strange expression. When she looked at Yu Zhibo again, her gaze became filled with immense admiration.
Yu Zhibo was stunned for a moment, "You know Little Golden Crow?"
Little Golden Crow? Calling her so affectionately?!
Bai Yinchen thought of her brother-in-law being so intimate with another woman, and a trace of annoyance instantly arose in her heart. However, upon seeing Yu Zhibo's clear gaze, her heart softened, and she explained, "The 'Little Golden Crow' you speak of is a being who has reached the level of Immortal Venerable in the Upper Realm... the most favored youngest daughter of the Golden Crow Demon Venerable."
Because beings at the Immortal Venerable level would sense direct address through the Dao, Bai Yinchen did not directly call her by name. She continued, "Do you know why she was exiled to the endless chaos by the Golden Crow Demon Venerable?"
Yu Zhibo swallowed his saliva, "Why?"
Even his Second Sister, who possessed the consciousness of a Heavenly Venerate, had such an expression. It must be a very serious offense.
Bai Yinchen was quite pleased with his expression and said, "Among the Eight Great Sacred Lands in the Upper Realm, the Dao Alliance is supreme. This sacred land was born in accordance with the Heavenly Dao and wields a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority. Its Holy Son is favored by the Heavenly Dao, while she... used the Golden Crow Demon Venerable's Dao-proving treasure to incinerate the Holy Son alive."
"Holy cow!" Yu Zhibo gasped in shock.
Although he didn't know what kind of terrifying existence the Holy Son was, since the Dao Alliance was the supreme among the Eight Great Sacred Lands, the Holy Son's status was undoubtedly unquestionable. Little Golden Crow was truly audacious!
He then heard Bai Yinchen say, "Fortunately, the Little Golden Crow at that time had only been born for a short while and was not very powerful. However, her ability to slightly control the Chaos Bell caused many parties to be wary, and she was suspected of being the reincarnation of some innate sacred spirit. Her father, the Golden Crow Demon Venerable, exiled her to protect her."
"However, no one knows why Little Golden Crow harbored such great hostility towards the Dao Alliance's Holy Son. You said you knew her? Take me to see her. I am quite interested in someone who acts so recklessly."
Bai Yinchen said with a smile.
Yu Zhibo nodded slightly, "Second Sister, I need to touch your shoulder to perform the Teleportation Technique. Please do not resist."
Bai Yinchen gave him a charming sideways glance and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
Yu Zhibo placed a finger on Bai Yinchen's slender shoulder, and with a thought, he executed the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The next second, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed, and numerous enthusiastic voices entered his ears. Among them, the most prominent was a sonorous and powerful male voice:
"The winner of the FMVP for this S-tier competition is~ Xi, Yang, Yan, Ji! Let's give her our warmest applause!"
