Zhang Shali

Ling Wanqing pushed open the door she hadn't opened for a long time; during this period, she had been in seclusion trying to achieve a Breakthrough in that Realm.

Now, her cultivation had reached the Late-stage Tribulation Transcendence.

In other words, she was about to reach the end of this world; if she kept Cultivating, she could achieve Immortal Ascension.

She was not in a hurry to go to the Immortal Realm now; Su Yu was still here. Although Su Yu's Cultivation speed had improved, it was still not enough.

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu sitting in the courtyard.

She could no longer hide her affairs; they would soon be impossible to conceal. However, that was fine; this way, she could completely let go and act freely.

Furthermore, she understood that Su Yu should have already prepared himself.

Over these years, she had called Su Yu to the bamboo forest, and as the frequency increased, the secrets would soon be impossible to keep.

It only lacked an opportunity; perhaps next time, perhaps not, it was hard to say.

But she had already prepared for this day to arrive.

Su Yu should have guessed that she was actually that Master at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

But he probably hadn't guessed that she was that Ling Wanqing of the Southern Region's Celestial Maiden Sect, though he must be curious about everything regarding her.

When the time came, she would confess everything one by one.

However, she was somewhat afraid that her true appearance would cause Su Yu to shrink back.

But thinking of Su Yu's personality, she felt much more at ease.

After all, she had always met Su Yu in this form and had never let him see her true appearance; this was her final worry.

Perhaps he had seen it back when he was still early in the Profound Heaven Sect, which made her curious about what Su Yu's thoughts were when he first saw her.

She would have to ask him when the time came.

Su Yu did not know Ling Wanqing's current thoughts. Fortunately, he had always been like this; he had known Ling Wanqing with his original appearance.

Ling Wanqing took the hairpin Su Yu had given her and pinned up her hair.

She walked out of the room.

"You have come out of seclusion."

"Mm, it took some time, but fortunately my strength has improved. It actually makes me feel like you are about to have a Breakthrough."

Su Yu said happily, "Mm, I have already touched the threshold; I am only one step away from Body Integration."

"That is wonderful."

"I have suffered quite a bit. You know I have often gone out to gain experience over these years."

Which meant going to the bamboo forest to Cultivate.

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and said, "A lot has happened in these past hundred-plus years. Has anything happened in recent years?"

"Recent years have been fine; nothing major has happened. However, there is news that the Old Ancestor in our Sect is about to have a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage soon."

"Oh, really? That is great. Whether a Sect has a Mahayana expert is a very critical point."

"Indeed."

"In these hundred years, the matter regarding the Twelve Super Sects becoming eleven has not yet ended."

"To this day, no Sect has become that twelfth Super Sect; there are many competing Sects."

"There are rumors in our Sect that if the Old Ancestor successfully achieves a Breakthrough, we might participate in the competition, although the chances are almost nonexistent."

"But we still do not want to miss this time; otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult to have such a chance next time."

Ling Wanqing considered for a moment, "Our Star Sea Sect is indeed quite good in all aspects, but our foundation and strength are ultimately inferior to others."

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing without speaking. It seemed somewhat inappropriate for these words to come from them.

In one Sect, there was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, a Late-stage Tribulation Transcendence, and Old Qian who was also hidden.

As for Su Yu's strength, it went without saying; he himself did not know where his limits were.

Ling Wanqing saw Su Yu staring at her and knew what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Su Yu nodded and said, "That is indeed true; our Sect basically has no hope."

"Although it is rumored that the Boundless Sword Physique is also about to have a Breakthrough to Mahayana, it is still not enough compared to some of those powerful competitors."

"The foundation accumulated by our Star Sea Sect is not as deep as other Sects."

"But it also depends on the degree of the Sect's contribution for the judgment, and our Sect is not bad in this regard."

Ling Wanqing saw this and felt it was indeed so; the Star Sea Sect was quite good in other aspects. "Anyway, we will know when the time comes."

Ling Wanqing looked at the information in the Jade Slip.

"I almost forgot; I still need to send something to someone else. I promised her at the time."

After saying this, Ling Wanqing disappeared from here.

Just at this moment, Su Yu looked toward a place in the distance.

Was it finally coming to an end?

At this moment, in a secluded forest, Demon Beginning and Yue Li were discussing something.

The last incident had been a significant blow to Demon Beginning, but he had now recovered.

He did not know what to do next; it was as if he had lost his goal.

But he quickly regained his senses. He was of the Demon Race, and a Tribulation Crossing Stage existence at that; there were plenty of things he could do.

Why cling to these things? Yes, hadn't he always been alone before, doing whatever he thought of?

Just at this moment, the mark Awakening Dust had imprinted into his body began to shine.

A phantom gradually appeared before the two of them.

This phantom was wrapped in golden light, its aura mysterious and impossible to fathom.

But one could still vaguely tell who it was.

Demon Beginning's hair stood on end when he saw this scene. Wasn't this that existence from before? How did he appear?

He knew that whatever he did now was useless.

Yue Li looked at this somewhat familiar figure and couldn't recall it for a moment, but quickly regained her senses. Wasn't this that kid with the Innate Buddha Heart from before?

What was really going on?

Demon Beginning hurriedly came forward, "Senior, I have already taken care of one. Wait, I will take care of this Yue Li immediately."

Yue Li's mind went blank upon hearing this.

What was going on? Wasn't that kid dead?

Demon Beginning looked at Yue Li, "Yue Li, you don't know, do you? That person was an existence from the Immortal Realm. The actions you three took were already unforgivable."

"I originally regarded you as pawns, intending to dispose of you after using you. But now it seems you cannot wait until that time. I will finish you off for Senior right now."

Yue Li heard this; so she had always been someone else's pawn. Perhaps even existences like Demon Beginning were the same.

It was truly laughable, and he was even a Tribulation Crossing Stage existence at that.

"Can you spare my daughter? That idea was mine."

Awakening Dust looked at the two, "What do you think? Did you ever think this way back then? Did you ever consider my feelings back then?"

"Coming this time is also because the time is ripe. Although one was destroyed by that guy, it was, after all, Karma that I created."

Awakening Dust waved his hand, and the two of them turned into something like a Sarira.

And Yue Yao, not knowing what had happened, also turned into a Sarira.

Awakening Dust looked at the Sarira in his hand. It was done.

After saying this, he disappeared from here, as if nothing had ever happened.

Su Yu looked at a strand of buddhist true power in his hand.

This was what he had obtained from Awakening Dust; it could come in handy when the time came.

To those from the Immortal Realm, the Spirit Domain was still too insignificant, not even counting as ants.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing returned, looking as if she was still thinking about something.
