In the void, Bai An and Yiu Ruo faced each other before the Immortal Sect and couldn’t help but frown. Before them, the huge Immortal Sect quietly opened. A faint immortal light emitted, as if there were endless Dao Principles evolving, weaving together into an illusory world.
Even if they didn’t really enter, Bai An could feel the divine and extraordinary nature of that world just by feeling that aura. The essence of that world would undoubtedly be extremely high, far surpassing the world he was in.
‘In such an environment, it was no wonder Yiu Ruo wanted to leave the world before her and enter that world.’ This thought flashed through his mind as he glanced at Yiu Ruo from the corner of his eyes.
Not far away, Yiu Ruo stood there quietly, staring at the world before her. Her eyes were filled with bewilderment, as though she was thinking of many things.
Unlike Bai An, You Ruo, who was born from the Immortal Bell, undoubtedly knew more about that world and the situation there. The reason why the Immortal Sect had opened up in this world was not because the Immortal Sect existed in this world.
In reality, the Immortal Sect did exist, but not in this world. It existed in the world ahead of them. As for what was before them, it was merely the projection of the Immortal Sect. That was why there was such an inexplicable illusion that they could not completely grasp it. If one wanted to see the real Immortal Sect, the only way was to enter that world.
The Sky Heavenly Weapon was merely a legend in the world before them, and the Earth Heavenly Weapon was a peak existence. However, this wasn’t the case in the world before them. The Sky Heavenly Weapon wasn’t a legend but a divine weapon that truly existed. Not only the Immortal Sect, but there were also other Sky Heavenly Weapons that existed in that world.
This included the Immortal Bell that Yiu Ruo often saw in her dreams, the bell that she was worried about. All of them existed in that world. Her mood gradually changed, and she slowly became more determined thinking up to this point.
“It seems that it’s time to say goodbye.” She gradually calmed down and looked at Bai An, then said with a smile.
“You…” Bai An looked at Yiu Rou and hesitated.
He had already sensed something.
“There is only one way to enter that world.” You Ruo said softly, telling him how to enter the Immortal Sect, “To abandon your Dao Foundation and only retain a pure Nascent Soul. Only this way can you minimize the repulsive force and successfully enter the Immortal Sect under its guidance without triggering any violent reactions.”
“Abandon my Dao Foundation and only retain a tiny bit of my Nascent Soul inside?” Bai An frowned hearing Yiu Ruo’s words and subconsciously felt something was wrong.
Abandoning one’s own Dao Foundation and only retaining a tiny bit of his Nascent Soul meant that he had to abandon all of his current cultivation bases and only keep a tiny bit of pure essence to enter the world. The so-called Nascent Soul was also known as the true spirit. This process could be described as a tragic one.
For cultivators, the Dao Foundation was the foundation of cultivation. To abandon the Dao Foundation meant to cut off everything that one had obtained since cultivating. All cultivation bases would disappear and directly return to zero at that time.
Even if a bit of the true spirit still existed and relied on the true spirit’s essence to quickly restore cultivation, the difficulty was still very great.
“Is it worth it?” He couldn’t help but ask, looking at Yiu Ruo before him.
She was already a Heavenly Venerate, destined to be one of the top gorp of people in the world no matter where she was. In this world before him, she was already one of the few people. Therefore, it was not impossible to create a brand new holy land if she was willing to create.
With such a glorious present, was it worth it to abandon everything and start anew in a world she knew nothing about? Bai An had doubts in his heart and could not help but ask.
Yiu Ruo only smiled, “Whether it’s worth it depends on who it is to. Perhaps it’s not worth it for many people. But for me, this is worth it, which is enough.” She said softly to Bai An, then paused and continued, “I have a reason to go to that world.
Bai An was silent, somewhat unable to understand. Yiu Ruo did not say anything else but only smiled at Bai An, then turned around and silently walked in the direction of the Immortal Sect.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the area. Yiu Ruo’s aura changed with each step, and her entire body shook. Her Dao Principle was transforming and gradually evolved into a different appearance. The intense Dao Flame burned, burning away the incomparably thick Dao Principle on her body, leaving no trace behind.
She walked step by step into the Immortal Sect. Her aura caused Bai An, behind her, to feel terrified. Yiu Ruo was terrifying, and her aura was extremely powerful.
This was the result of burning the Dao Principle. Not only was it the Dao Principle, but it was also the source of her own life. Under Bai An’s gaze, Yiu Ruo’s appearance was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the beginning, she was still a beautiful young girl, but she had already become an old woman in the end. She was old, and no longer had her previous appearance.
However, the only similarity was that she still had a smile. It was so warm and pure, and the determination in her eyes did not waver in the slightest. This price made Bai An’s heart tremble.
At this moment, Yiu Ruo had already burned away her Dao Foundation and life, leaving behind only the last bit of her true spirit. If she could not cross this Immortal Sect, the final result would most likely be that she would disappear without leaving a trace.
Was it worth it to transform from a young and prosperous Heavenly Venerate into the appearance before her eyes? Bai An hesitated in his heart as he looked at the Immortal Sect before him, not knowing what to do.
From the bottom of his heart, he was willing to give up everything to fight for it if it was for a better Dao path. However, he didn’t know how the world behind the Immortal Sect would turn out. And he was far from reaching the end of this world. Therefore, asking him to give up everything he had to go to that world wasn’t a decision that could be easily made.
He hesitated in his heart and stood on the spot, didn’t move. Before him, a large rain of light emitted and dissipated in all directions. Under Bai An’s gaze, Yiu Ruo’s figure passed through the layers of the Immortal Sect. Under the endless radiance of the Immortal Sect, she finally left and completely disappeared.
Time was almost up. The Immortal Sect slowly closed as time passed. The time for the Immortal Sect to open was not unlimited. Every time they opened, there was a limit to how long they could last. In terms of time, it had been three to four days since the Immortal Sect opened. It was almost time for the Immortal Sect to close again.
‘It will be completely closed in a little while…’ Standing where he was, Bai An looked at the slowly closing Immortal Sect before him and sighed deeply in his heart. He had already made up his mind at this moment.
In the end, he could not be like Yiu Ruo and abandon everything to head to a completely unknown brand new world. He had his family and descendants and his orthodox inheritance in this world. Furthermore, this world was not at the stage where he could limit his growth. There was still a lot of room for him to grow. Under such circumstances, he did not make a decision as Yiu Ruo did.
After deciding silently, he sighed in his heart. Then, finally, he turned around and walked to the side, preparing to leave this place. He still felt some comfort in his heart at this moment. Even though he had not entered the Immortal Sect and truly went to the so-called Immortal World, the gains he had just obtained were already quite good.
During this trip to the Immortal Sect, he witnessed the extraterrestrial immortal light and the opening of the Immortal Sect. In addition, he gained many insights after being influenced by the Dao rhythm from within.
In addition to the fierce battles he had fought previously, he increased his cultivation base. His cultivation base would significantly increase when he returned and went into secluded meditation again.
This was because of his cultivation base. In other aspects, he had also obtained a lot of secret treasures, spirit herbs, and other items. All of them were an existence that even Heavenly Venerates would envy and fight over. His journey this time would not be in vain with these things.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Behind him, the Immortal Sect slowly dissipated and was about to close.
An accident suddenly occurred. Bai An’s face revealed a shocking look. The ancient sword that he was holding in his hand was glowing.
“What is this?”
He looked at the ancient sword in his hand and saw it emitting infinite divine might. A mighty Dao Principle appeared as if God had revived. A terrifying power was released in the ancient sword.
This was the spontaneous revival of the ancient sword. It was now active.
“Could it be…” Bai An’s heart stirred, and a thought flashed through his mind as he looked at the ancient sword gradually awakening.
The next moment, the ancient sword flew out from his hand and charged toward the Immortal Sect.
In an instant, a flower bloomed within the huge Immortal Sect. Tiny ripples spread from within and covered all directions, shrouding the vision before him. Then, everything changed.
The ancient sword rushed forward and entered the Immortan Sect before disappearing. Then, the ancient sword’s aura completely disappeared, along with the Immortan Sect’s aura.
Bai An was instantly stunned. He quietly watched the Immortal Sect disappear, turning into a shadow and disappearing. He didn’t know how to describe his current mood.
“Did you leave…” His feelings were particularly complicated as the immortal gate disappeared.
Bai An silently recalled the ancient sword’s appearance. In fact, from a very long time ago, he had a feeling in his heart. The ancient sword would never belong to him or anyone.
Bai An could feel that the ancient sword had a strong autonomy, unlike ordinary divine weapons.
Ordinary divine weapons would not easily leave once they had identified a master. They would only stop after the master had fallen.
But the ancient sword…
Bai An was unsure if the ancient sword had treated him as its master. It seemed that it had not. Instead, the ancient sword treated Bai An more like an elder, as if he was looking at his child.
Bai An felt the same way. The weapon spirit in the ancient sword was more like an elder than a divine weapon. Now that his elder had left, he would find his path. Bai An couldn’t refuse as a junior. Bai An sighed softly, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He understood everything in an instant and felt relieved in the end. Then, he took a step forward and directly left the space before him, returning to the glacier in the outside world. However, the ancient sword was still in a particular state in the Immortal Sect.
Waves of light and rain swirl around in the chaotic void, permeating this place.
