Chapter 288: New Changes

Qingling also spoke up, "We have finally reached this step. The Spirit Realm, huh?"

"Let me see what changes the Spirit Realm has."

Soon, Jiang Xue and the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Swords Sect appeared in Ye Lin's courtyard.

Jiang Xue looked at Ye Lin, "Are you ready?"

Ye Lin nodded, "I'm ready. It's time to set off."

Jiang Xue and the Myriad Swords Sect's Old Ancestor exchanged a glance, then said, "Very well. Let's not delay; let's set off."

Jiang Xue and the others had long since ceased to have any attachments; if not for the War between Immortals and Demons, they would have left the Southern Region long ago.

The two of them had been waiting for word from Ye Lin.

Soon, Qi Liang and the others learned the news that Ye Lin was leaving.

Some people from the Myriad Swords Sect and the Celestial Maiden Sect came to see them off.

The group soon arrived at the Teleportation Formation to the Spirit Realm.

Su Yu and his companions were, of course, there as well; they had to be present for this final farewell.

They were among the few who knew that Ye Lin and the others were leaving the Southern Region.

Ye Lin approached Su Yu and the others. Qi Liang knew of the relationship between Han Shi and Ye Lin, as they had all come from the same small city.

The three of them had always been good friends.

None of them would go around spreading the news of Ye Lin's departure.

They understood the gravity of the situation without needing him to explain it.

Ye Lin looked at Su Yu, Han Shi, and the others.

At this final moment, Ye Lin felt a great deal of reluctance.

Han Shi and the others felt the same. "Brother Ye, you can surely make a name for yourself over there."

"Brother, when we come over in the future, you must treat us well."

Ye Lin nodded, "Rest assured, when you come to the Spirit Realm, I will certainly treat you well."

"Perhaps I might even come back to visit you all someday."

There wasn't much left to say now; at this point, words were meaningless. It was enough that they were present to see Ye Lin off on his final journey.

After the three of them embraced, Ye Lin turned to leave.

Han Shi knew clearly that for as long as he could remember, no one had ever brought back news of returning from the Spirit Realm.

It would certainly be very difficult for Ye Lin to return.

Perhaps the chances of them going to the Spirit Realm were higher than the chance of Ye Lin returning.

After waving goodbye to everyone, Ye Lin returned to the Teleportation Formation for the Spirit Realm.

Jiang Xue and the Myriad Swords Sect's Old Ancestor were also bidding their final farewells to their friends and Sect.

Soon, all three had finished their farewells.

Everyone looked at the three figures in the Teleportation Formation, filled with nothing but reluctance.

As the Teleportation Formation activated, a bright light enveloped the three of them. Ye Lin and the others felt the spatial fluctuations from the Spirit Realm side.

Soon, as they gradually ascended,

the three legendary figures stepped together into that unknown Spirit Realm. A new journey awaited their arrival.

Perhaps there were new dangers, but they didn't care about such things.

At this very moment in the Spirit Realm, someone had arrived. "Great! It has been a long time since anyone came to the Spirit Realm. We might have a chance now."

The departure of the three left everyone present feeling somewhat dazed.

This scene would surely be written into the history of the Southern Region.

Especially Ye Lin's departure.

After standing dazed for a moment, the crowd dispersed.

Su Yu and Han Shi were the same.

Han Shi didn't know if he would ever see Ye Lin again, but he could only trust in Ye Lin's abilities.

He hoped that Ye Lin would also reach the Peak in the Spirit Realm.

From now on, Ye Lin would no longer be seen in the Southern Region; he could only live on in legends.

After parting ways with Han Shi, Su Yu returned to his courtyard.

Although Su Yu was somewhat curious about the situation in the Spirit Realm, he didn't want to go there just yet. He would consider it after his strength had improved.

In any case, it wouldn't take him long. He would let Ye Lin scout the path first. As for whether Ye Lin would run into trouble, Su Yu wasn't very worried.

According to the tropes of a Child of Destiny, Ye Lin should be able to do quite well once he reached the Spirit Realm.

At the very least, Su Yu had left something on him that might come in handy at a critical moment—it's just that Ye Lin didn't know about it.

Anyway, Su Yu was living quite comfortably in the Southern Region right now. He could reach the Peak before going over; there was no need to rush to the Spirit Realm.

If something from the Immortal Realm appeared in that Spirit Realm, Su Yu wouldn't be able to handle it for the time being.

It was better to wait until he was certain.

Thinking of this, Su Yu walked to the side of the lake near the courtyard.

Watching the calm lake surface, with many maple leaves drifting down, according to the time in his previous life,

it was currently autumn in the Profound Heaven Sect, and those maple leaves had turned yellow and started to fall.

Ye Lin really had chosen a good time.

Su Yu took out a fishing rod for the first time in a long while and sat by the lake.

He began to fish.

By the time it got dark, Su Yu hadn't caught a single fish.

Su Yu was a bit puzzled. "How did I come up empty-handed today? This doesn't fit my status as a master angler."

He had fished until nightfall without catching a single fish; the only thing he caught was a leaf.

This left Su Yu feeling very helpless.

Seeing that the sky had darkened, Su Yu prepared to go back to sleep.

When Su Yu opened the door again,

the scene in the courtyard had already changed.

The maple leaves that had been drifting in the wind were gone, replaced by a vast expanse of white snow.

And snowflakes were still falling continuously from the sky.

The eaves and trees were covered in a thick layer of snow.

Icicles hung from the edges of the eaves.

Su Yu exhaled, and a white mist drifted upward. Su Yu didn't feel the cold; it had been a long time since he had felt this.

Thinking of this, Su Yu waved his hand, and he could feel the cold brought by winter.

Su Yu rubbed his hands together. "It really is cold, but it doesn't feel half bad."

Su Yu walked out of the courtyard, leaving footprints on the ground. Had a year already passed since Ye Lin left?

Su Yu looked at the scene in the courtyard—the snow-covered yard and the frozen lake ahead.

It was quite healing; winter in the Profound Heaven Sect was truly beautiful.

Su Yu looked around the courtyard and felt like something was missing.

Soon, Su Yu thought of something and waved his hand.

A snowman appeared next to the swing under the crooked tree by the courtyard.

Su Yu looked at the snowman. "That's more like it."

Su Yu watched the snowflakes drifting in the sky, letting them land on him.

A year had also passed since the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.

Many of the new Disciples had already entered the Outer Sect, and some had come to find Su Yu, wanting to take him as their master.

However, Su Yu had basically refused them all.

As for Ouyang Yu, she was now a rising star of the Profound Heaven Sect's generation.

One could always hear news from time to time about who Ouyang Yu had defeated or what Realm she had achieved a Breakthrough in.
