Master Wang nodded gently.

Peony took the initiative to say, "My main consciousness is with the boss, don't worry, I can give you an avatar consciousness, so you can always inquire about the boss's situation."

"I also want an avatar consciousness."

Gao Huating weakly inquired from the side.

Peony replied, "Well... I only made six, five of which need to verify the next phase of the mechanical civilization..."

"Then I won't need one, I just said it casually," Gao Huating pursed her lips, "Xiao Hua and I will just take care of each other."

Red Snake gently blinked its left eye.

Wang Jixuan said, "Let's not drag this out, it's not like it's a matter of life and death; Xiao Huating and Red Snake, you two must cultivate well, don't waste this opportunity to get close to the Great Path."

Bai Gu's faint figure appeared beside Wang Jixuan.

He said softly, "Don't worry, I will give them enough resources. As long as they are not too dull, after two or three thousand years of being close to the Great Path and in slumber, they can still become immortals. As for whether they can have greater fortune, it's up to them to seize it."

Gao Huating and Red Snake bowed their heads in unison: "Thank you, senior!"

"Let's go, I will first send away the master and servant."

Bai Gu waved his hand, and Wang Jixuan, Peony, along with the main stone plate of the Second Base, disappeared simultaneously.

Everyone began to stare at each other in bewilderment.

The place where Wang Jixuan sleeps and retreats is within an ancient relic not yet revealed to the world.

The relic is within a small world attached to the Immortal Realm, in the center of which stands a giant tree where Wang Jixuan and Peony's main body are placed.

Isolated from the universe, silenced in time.

Bai Gu instructed:

"Do not awaken prematurely, waking will only lead you to face endless solitude.

"This is your only chance for rapid advancement. Grasp this opportunity, and you will have the genuine qualification to ascend to the position of a powerful being.

"The Qingping Technique you cultivate is not a very advanced cultivation method. I have here the Qingmu Covering Sky Technique created by an ancient great power. It's directly implanted into your Primordial Spirit. Once you fully comprehend Qingping Technique, cultivating this technique should yield twice the results with half the effort, as they're both of wood attribute.

"Additionally, Peony's main consciousness can shuttle back and forth on the equipment on you and in your portable subspace. If you awaken and cannot fall asleep again, call for Peony, and I will come over when I'm free to knock you out."

Wang Jixuan: ...

No need to be so aggressive as to knock me out.

Peony asked, "Did you take good care of my avatars, senior?"

"Rest assured, it won't delay your matters. At my age, I naturally know the seriousness and urgency of things."

Peony said, "The officer here is in charge."

Bai Gu smiled noncommittally, placed a palm over the two, and they were immediately enveloped in a bubble.

At this moment, Wang Jixuan lay on the backside of the stone plate, Peony opened the stone plate on her own, and burrowed into the Second Base, preparing for her slumber.

Before Bai Gu left, he pointed out a wisp of Daoist charm;

Wang Jixuan quickly yawned repeatedly, feeling many insights arising in his heart.

He felt his Primordial Spirit seemingly communicating with the ancient giant tree that exists to this day, abundant wood attribute Spiritual Energy 'appeared out of nowhere,' merging into his Immortal Body and nourishing his Primordial Spirit.

The Time Dao is truly a good thing;

With the assistance of Senior Bai Gu, his cultivation could become so comfortable.

Not long after, Wang Jixuan's body and Primordial Spirit fell into slumber, while his own Dao remained active, constantly interacting with the giant tree here.

A few hours later, Peony's Spiritual Body returned to Wang Jixuan's side.

She indeed told a lie.

To oversee and arrange the avatars placed everywhere, she cannot sleep with Wang Jixuan; instead, she must supervise the data coming from each place, correcting the future direction of development of the five sub-bases.

However, this posed no burden for her.

Because she could always be here.

Peony's Spiritual Body shrank to a small person's form, sitting obediently beside Wang Jixuan's hand with hands clasped, lowering her head in a praying posture, gaining a few more aspects of sacredness.

"Master... soon, no one will be able to bully you..."

She murmured softly.

In the shadows, Bai Gu watched this scene with a frown, pursed his lips, shrugged.

'Then let it be a bit more chaotic, chaos is good.'

'This Immortal Realm should have collapsed long ago.'

…

Gao Huating didn't wait too long before Bai Gu returned.

They once more embarked on the path of time, but this time, they explored downward along the long river of time, and Senior Bai Gu no longer concealed his figure.

Three thousand years from the Present World, Bai Gu took them to bury Red Snake.

Red Snake unfurled its main body, hiding directly within an abandoned spiritual ore, with the tumultuous evil Qi of the Ancient Battlefield underneath.

Bai Gu, with a flick of his finger, set up a large array, tightly enclosing Red Snake.

"After you wake up, don't run around aimlessly. If no one discovers you, just wait for Wang Zheng to come find you, as he knows of this location."

"Thank you, Senior."

The Red Snake hummed in response.

She was like an Exotic Beast Queen, and her main body covered in blades was somewhat intimidating from both near and far.

If discovered by an Immortal here, they might immediately exterminate her as a demon.

Afterward, Bai Gu led a few people forward in time by a thousand years.

There were still two thousand years left until the Present World, and they began burying Gao Huating.

Xiao Hua obediently changed into a long gown Magic Treasure, which wouldn't weather away as long as it was infused with Spiritual Power, avoiding an awkward situation upon awakening.

She was placed inside a Crystal Coffin near the Sea Eye of the East Endless Sea in the Immortal Realm.

Xiao Huating was still visibly nervous.

Bai Gu said warmly, "No need to worry, no one can break the Time Dao I've arranged, not even the Heavenly Dao can trace our tracks. Just think of it as taking a nap."

"Oh, thank you, Senior."

"So obedient."

Bai Gu sighed with emotion, and with a wave of his sleeve, Xiao Huating's Crystal Coffin instantly disappeared.

Then, Bai Gu turned to look at the restored large version of Amina, Mao Mo, and Zheng Shiduo.

"Let's go, to the Present World to receive them."

Bai Gu took out a ring from his sleeve.

Amina took it, releasing the Floating Ball inside, which displayed the projection of Mu Dan.

"Hello, esteemed colleagues, this is Peony King's Avatar No.4, and you may call me No.4 King."

Everyone smiled to themselves.

Bai Gu glanced again at the location of Wang Jixuan sleeping in the relic, said nothing more, and led the group away.

Below, in the Crystal Coffin.

Strands of Water Spirit Qi enveloped Gao Huating's figure.

Her long hair and skirt hem swayed gently, her jade-like skin emitted a glow, and soon a layer of radiance shimmered around her.

She broke through.

Yes, because her Dao Realm was too low, she just received some blessings in such a treasured land, gained a little more insight into the Water Spirit Dao, and immediately broke through.

The breakthroughs continued to occur.

Each breakthrough lengthened the interval naturally.

The overall constraint on Gao Huating's breakthrough speed was her level of understanding of the Great Path.

Time flowed like the nearby water, continuously circulating.

Gao Huating's long hair gradually reached her waist, her charming face shedding its innocence, becoming more divinely beautiful, her slim waist became even slimmer, her figure more prominent.

Who knows how long passed, probably four or five hundred years, when a small tuft of black cloud appeared inside the Crystal Coffin, the black cloud incessantly releasing Thunder Light.

Gao Huating's Primordial Spirit floated out, eyes closed, accepting the black cloud's bombardment.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation, she seemed to pass it effortlessly.

—Not actually effortlessly, but because her accumulation was so profound, she adhered to the Great Path for hundreds of years, soaked in this treasure land for hundreds of years, far surpassing typical paragons cultivating for thousands of years.

Other Daluo Golden Immortals have their own methods to help their descendants elevate cultivation, usually only able to forcibly elevate to the Sixth Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Bai Gu's skill of 'sleeping through past years', however, can alleviate most of Gao Huating's worries, even enhancing her own talents.

After crossing the tribulation, the intervals between breakthroughs started to become somewhat prolonged.

With each breakthrough, Gao Huating's appearance remained unchanged, but her aura shifted slightly.

She became holier, purer, like a fairy born from crystal, unfamiliar with human affairs, ignorant of worldly chaos, rejoicing just for nearing the Tao.

Finally...

The barrier surrounding the stone coffin shattered like foam.

She has surpassed the Present World.

Returning from the past, she brought back pure immortal power, and the Dao Realm of an Eighth Grade True Immortal.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, slowly she opened her eyes, and her fingers, with overly long nails, fell away on their own. As she sat up, a thin membrane seemed to disperse, revealing skin like a boiled egg.

"Eh? Hasn't everyone arrived yet?"

Gao Huating muttered quietly to herself, looking at the scene outside the Crystal Coffin.

Her heart was at ease, she lay back down, folded her hands over her lower abdomen, and continued to comprehend the Water Spirit Dao.

At this moment, the protection of the Time Dao was no longer there, but no one could find this place.

"I'll cultivate a bit more, Chi Chi must be more formidable than me, I really don't want to be a burden."

She murmured quietly to herself.
