"Thank you, Elder Shao, for your efforts."

"Oh, no worries, no worries. Your core circuit method has given us quite some inspiration. Now everyone is eagerly waiting for you to go to the Immortal Realm."

Elder Shao laughed heartily and took his leave.

Wang Jixuan, under the threatening gaze of Yin Lin, escorted Elder Shao out the door and followed him for a long while, almost to the point of sending him back to his residence.

'Thankfully, Elder Shao doesn't live here.'

Wang Jixuan felt slightly relieved in his heart.

Now that he's become accustomed to leisure, living with such a senior expert might make him feel somewhat constrained.

The Daoist returned to the small courtyard, had a brief chat with Amina and others, and let them go to their respective rooms to rest, leaving the Red Snake alone thereafter.

"What's up?" The Red Snake blinked, "I was well-behaved just now, and that old sir didn't look at me either."

Wang Jixuan shook his head: "It's not about that... When Heaven was watching, did you feel anything?"

"No, I just saw a pair of big eyeballs in the sky that looked like human eyes, yet different, quite beautiful."

"Did you hear anything?"

"No."

"Did you act as usual?"

"Yes, although when Amina went to support you, Teacher, I didn't go to help."

Wang Jixuan nodded: "Then it's fine, rest now, I'm going back to rest too."

"Uh, should I go back to the subspace first?"

The Red Snake asked worriedly:

"Aren't all the righteous cultivators here?"

"For now, it's fine, just don't go out," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you go out either, worst case, just say you're a guardian spirit beast."

The Red Snake rolled her eyes dramatically.

This is just because it's Master Wang; if it were someone else, at the very least, she'd give them a polite middle-finger salute.

After the Red Snake left, Master Wang's smile gradually faded away.

He led this small team leaving Earth, each of them somewhat 'peculiar.'

Amina, hailing from a spirit cultivator background, carries a fully liberated core circuit and has lived for seventeen thousand years, surpassing the life expectancy set by the Heavenly Dao for cultivators;

The Red Snake, no need to mention, transformed by Wang Jixuan using a King-level Crystal Core into a 'Demon Cultivator,' now not weak in power, can continue to absorb the essence of the sun and moon for cultivation, though the King-level Crystal Core has long been left behind, she needs to condense a true Demon Core.

Xiao Huating is a reincarnated spirit cultivator, retaining some special abilities from a previous life;

Lao Zheng is not here...

If excluding all of these, the only ones attracting the observation of the Heavenly Dao could be him, and...

"Mu Dan?"

There was no response from the portable subspace.

Wang Jixuan probed into the subspace with his Spiritual Sense and discovered there was now a layer of film with a surrounding rosy glow.

Mu Dan was trapped in there.

"Elder Shao..."

[Enter.]

Wang Jixuan's Dao Heart felt another layer of connection.

When touching the Heavenly Dao Stele, his heart received enlightenment, transforming into words, almost identical.

Wang Jixuan's mouth twitched slightly, letting the Alien Soul encircle the pavilion, posing as if in cultivation, and his Primordial Spirit entered the subspace.

If Heaven intended to kill him, one stroke of Heavenly Punishment would suffice.

Instead, he need not worry about any plots here.

...

Inside the portable subspace.

The seven-colored rosy glow, like a sphere, completely enveloped the small island in the northwest corner of the subspace where Mu Dan often stayed.

Wang Jixuan naturally worried about Mu Dan's situation, but was also extremely curious, so he went straight to the front of the seven-colored sphere.

The sphere slightly rotated, and Wang Jixuan's Primordial Spirit was already inside, seeing two figures in front of him.

Mu Dan was sitting duck-style, above her was her Spiritual Body;

Faced with Mu Dan, separated by about four or five meters, stood a figure resembling a matchstick man quietly.

To say it was a matchstick man is somewhat inaccurate.

It had a human outline, but only for human understanding.

Slight Enlightenment rose within Wang Jixuan's heart.

It had no physical form, did not tangibly exist, nor was it a thought or a signal.

It was an image of the Heavenly Dao.

Those eyes were what it used to observe.

At that moment, Wang Jixuan's Primordial Spirit seemed to sense an immense number of Daoist Principles, as though, within this matchstick person held countless Great Paths.

Master Wang immediately realized this was an unprecedented opportunity.

If he could spend a moment longer with this matchstick person, his understanding of the Great Path would step onto a new level!

"Who are you?" Wang Jixuan's Primordial Spirit asked softly.

The matchstick man seemed to tilt its head in thought, and words appeared once again in Wang Jixuan's mind.

[They call me the Heavenly Dao.]

[But I am not a living creature, only possessing some imitative thinking ability.]

[Are you the master of this puppet?]

"Yes," Wang Jixuan nodded gently, looking at Mu Dan who seemed dumbfounded.

Wang Jixuan said seriously, "I don't know what happened to her..."

[She glimpsed the divine secrets.]

[Or rather, she cracked the encryption of the Heavenly Dao on the Great Path under a one-in-a-billion chance, by researching and simulating the situation where you resonated on a superficial level with the Great Path.]

[I have erased her related data, otherwise, this would have caused chaos in the Three Realms; besides this, I have not harmed her.]

Wang Jixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mu Dan made a reckless mistake, which was because I, as her master, did not restrain her enough. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future. Please forgive this transgression, Heavenly Dao."

[Hmm.]

The matchstick man made a sound of acknowledgment.

[I stayed here not leaving, just to wait for you.]

"Wait for me?"

[Don't worry, you are currently frozen in an instant, and our conversation need not be known by other living creatures.]

"Then what do you want to ask?"

[Can you continue to nurture this spiritual servant of yours and provide her with enough... computational power resources?]

Wang Jixuan: ???

[Very soon, we will face a great catastrophe. Based on my simulations and predictions, the Immortal Realm will encounter great troubles, and this pre-designed world will collapse.]

"Is it the Dark Sect?"

[No, it's not.]

[Therefore, I need an assistant. This spiritual servant of yours has the potential to become my assistant, but the computational power resources she currently has are still too little. I need her to have a higher level of thinking ability.]

[Only in this way can she truly be of help in the impending catastrophe.]

Wang Jixuan's primordial spirit scratched his head.

"Okay, I will do my best."

[Thank you, I will give you and your subordinate more rewards for future tasks, but I cannot do more. I am at the convergence point of cause and effect, where any small disturbance would trigger massive chain reactions.]

[I also cannot provide you with protection, for the reasons mentioned.]

[Rather than saying I am the Heavenly Dao, it's more accurate to say I am a part of the Heavenly Dao, only functioning in a monitoring capacity.]

Master Wang nodded seriously.

He said solemnly, "For the sake of all living beings, I will do my best as well."

[You are good, one who seeks the Tao.]

The matchstick man nodded at Wang Jixuan, then gently waved his hand.

The surrounding seven-colored rosy clouds immediately collapsed, returning to the matchstick man's side in an instant, disappearing along with him.

The subspace was quietly silent.

Wang Jixuan stood dumbfounded.

"Eh?"

Mu Dan stood up, scratching her head beside him.

She felt like she had been hit on the head, but after self-examining dozens of times, she found no other issues, missing parts, or data anomalies.

What was going on?

"Sir?" Mu Dan quietly called out, seeing Wang Jixuan's primordial spirit dazing off, "What's going on? I feel like I got sneak attacked..."

Wang Jixuan snapped back and looked at Mu Dan with a complicated expression.

He truly did not expect;

That he would benefit so much through Mu Dan!

Heavenly Dao's blessing!

Even though the Heavenly Dao said there wasn't much place for his caring, he had established a connection with the Heavenly Dao; would he still be so lucky moving forward?

Well, that's not right, it should be Mu Dan who isn't so fortunate.

Master Wang glanced at Mu Dan's thigh a few times.

Mu Dan, still dressed in a maid outfit, blinked and flaunted her beautiful black silk legs upon noticing.

"Nothing, hmm, from now on, you're not allowed to wear maid outfits, change into the Immortal Dress that Amina and the others are currently wearing instead."

Wang Jixuan rubbed his nose:

"Later, I'll find a spot in the Earth Realm, build a small mechanical civilization, make the data center big, we need to simulate some things."

"Oh right, Sir! I just calculated through your enlightenment... huh? Where did my data go?"

"The data disappeared, I did it, don't ask further."

Wang Jixuan pointed to the sky, then pointed to each other, making a gesture to keep silent.

The Daoist looked at Mu Dan's bewildered expression and couldn't help but laugh.

Such fortune, it's really big.
