"So what if one joins the Fengyue Sect? That sect is part of the top echelon in the Nine Provinces..."

"To crave yet not obtain..."

The elder looked at the crowd and couldn't help but shake his head; these Cultivators were too young to know the formidable nature of the Fengyue Sect.

"Elder, I heard that this time the Divine Pond is seeking fate on an unprecedented scale, with many top sects of the Nine Provinces sending their young Cultivators..."

A Cultivator asked, "Is it because of that Fengyue Sect's eldest senior sister?"

"Yes," the elder replied, his expression somewhat peculiar, "the Fengyue Sect has declared to the world that they intend to marry off the senior sister, inviting the Heavenly Prides of the Nine Provinces to come and court her, with no limits on Realm below the Nascent Soul. I've been lurking around this Fengyue Small City for many years; I originally thought that the senior sister was being groomed by the Supreme Master specifically to be the next Sect Master of Fengyue Sect. But now, to think that she is to be married off..."

"That's indeed rare."

The crowd immediately began to discuss fervently.

This was one of the biggest events in Huangtian Continent recently.

"Fengyue Sect is really interesting..." The young man in the Taoist robe pondered for a moment, then turned to the red-haired man on the other side, "Brother Yan, I plan to visit the Sword Sect first to pay respects to Brother Wang before anything else. Will you come with?"

"Of course, I will. It's not easy to sneak out like this to Huangtian Continent; naturally, I must visit the Sword Sect and see how Brother Wang is doing," the red-haired man laughed. "Speaking of which, it's been nearly a year. After parting at Heavenly Fragrance Valley, there's been no news of him. I wanted to invite him to Fentian Temple for a visit, but then I heard that he disappeared without a trace."

After speaking, the two left the small city and headed towards the Sword Sect.

Both were entrusted with important missions from their respective sects to undergo trials in Huangtian Continent, primarily for two purposes.

The first was the recent event of the Fengyue Sect.

The second was to investigate the truth about a matter at the Sword Sect.

Having come to Fengyue Small City and inquired about the Fengyue Sect's recent circumstances, they were roughly aware of the situation and planned to wait a while longer.

「On the way.」

"In addition, I recently heard about a major event at the Sword Sect." Yan Wuxin's voice suddenly softened. "I heard that a while back, an Ancient Sage was resurrected and appeared at the Sword Sect, although it's unclear whether this is true or false?"

"Oh, you heard about it too?" Ye Ge was surprised. "When I came traveling, my Master gave me the same task, to find out whether it's true or not. It's said that event occurred at the Sword Sect more than half a year ago... Initially, no news was let out. Later, Tianji Sect's disciples went to the Sword Sect to maintain their Mechanical Man, and then a disciple of the Sword Sect leaked the news, and only then it spread..."

"An Ancient Sage, resurrected from the dead..." Yan Wuxin said. "It's rumored to be that person... who possessed the ability to open the heavens, Dongfang Mu... Although we aren't that close with the Sword Sect, we do have some relations with Brother Wang. Hopefully, when we see him, he can shed some light on the matter for us..."

Upon arriving at the Sword Sect, they informed the Mountain Guarding Disciples of their visit and were invited into the Sect.

"Wang Mu has been out traveling and hasn't returned for quite some time. If you wish to visit Brother Wang, you'll have to wait and see if he comes back."

The two were not in a hurry and decided to wait at Heavenly Sword Peak.

"Back in the day, this Heavenly Sword Peak was also one of the Sword Sect's most prominent peaks. Now, I heard only Brother Wang is left."

"Indeed, it's no easy feat," Ye Ge remarked.

"With Brother Wang's steadfast Taoist Heart, he definitely won't be led astray by the Demoness of Fengyue Sect," said Yan Wuxin. "Not to mention his destined Taoist couple, who comes from an extraordinary background."

They didn't have to wait long before Wang Mu returned.

In mid-December of the third year, Wang Mu successfully came back to Huangtian Continent and returned to the Sword Sect.

He set out from Ling Province and used Sword Flight to travel back to Huangtian Continent. After cultivating the Mystic Water Sea Control Technique, crossing the sea became a breezy journey; even if he encountered Fierce Beasts of Nascent Soul Level, he could easily escape if unable to win. He traveled safely along the waters and entered the territory of Huangtian Continent.

He also took a detour to Glazed Lake to update Sea Granny on Little Jiao Huo's situation.

A few days after Wang Mu was locked in the Sea Prison, Immortal Bi You had Ao Qing send Sea Granny back to Glazed Lake.

Then, from Glazed Lake, he used Sword Flight to head straight back to the Sword Sect.

Miss You had cautioned him not to return to the Sword Sect lightly, but Elder Yan probably hadn't recovered so quickly. With his current Heart Realm, he wasn't particularly afraid...

He returned to the Sword Sect mainly to collect the Three-Life Fate wine that Brother Jiu had brewed and to bring him two Long-term Love Fruits so that he could brew another vat.

It's been nearly a year since I've been back to the Sword Sect...

Looking at the distant Gu Yun Mountain, Wang Mu felt an inexplicable sense of a wanderer returning home.

Ever since he used the Heavenly Person Transformation from the Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations to become Dongfang Mu at the Sword Sect and met Mo Xilan, he had been taken away by her. A year had whisked by, spent across Seven Emotions Island, Ling Province, and Sealing God Mountain.

Actually, for a Cultivator, this was a short time, but Wang Mu felt he had experienced quite a lot.

Upon his return, he was informed by several fellow disciples that two Cultivators from Qianzhou had come to visit him.

Curious, what brought Ye Ge and Yan Wuxin all the way to Huangtian Continent?

Wang Mu found it strange. A year had passed, and he wondered what significant events might have occurred in Huangtian Continent.

He had journeyed back without pause, making inquiries as he went.

Besides, what significant events could possibly occur in Huangtian Continent in merely a year?

Back at Heavenly Sword Peak, Wang Mu found the two men in the back mountain, discovering that they were challenging the Mechanical Man.

They suppressed their Cultivation to the Qi Refining Realm and continuously bombarded the Mechanical Man with Spells.
