Chapter 495 - 657 : The Tiannan Domain

Bai Jing looked at Wentian and only sighed softly. "Husband, this concubine knows that your wish is longevity. This concubine will not stop you, and also knows that I cannot stop you.

"So Husband, go. You only need to remember that this concubine will be at home, always waiting for your return."

Wentian stepped forward and held Bai Jing in his arms, whispering beside her ear, "I am sorry, Madam."

Bai Jing smiled slightly. "On the day we married, Husband once swore before heaven and earth in front of this concubine that for the rest of my life, you would let me live smoothly and peacefully, wealthy and joyful.

"Husband fulfilled your promise long ago. Why say sorry?

"Marrying you was this concubine's fortune."

Seven or eight days later,

Ye Fan emerged from seclusion and successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment.

Several more days later, Wentian placed copied versions of all kinds of texts into his storage ring, then left with Jianyi Mingxian, Jianyi Deling, Jianyi Deyue, and Ye Fan for the Forest of the Azure Sea.

Afterward, they rode Moyue and flew toward the southern part of the Forest of the Azure Sea.

Beside Mirror Lake,

The Three-Tailed White Fox, who had been crouching there, sensed Moyue's aura and raised her head to look. Then she murmured softly, "Forget it. I am no longer the guardian of this place. It has nothing to do with me.

"However, how exactly did Moyue persuade Tree King to turn a blind eye?"

The Three-Tailed White Fox could not understand. Then she lowered her head again and continued refining the pills inside her body.

On the other side,

On the Ancient Locust Tree King's thick branches, green light flashed, and the treant avatar appeared, gazing toward the south.

"It is good that he has left. This place was originally a cage, and what is left to the humans here is only endless despair."

The treant avatar stroked his long beard, wisdom flickering in his eyes.

"In the past, there were also people who left, but I never saw them return.

"The Tiannan Domain is prosperous, with countless aristocratic families standing side by side, Nascent Soul upper sects, and even the Tiannan Domain hegemon standing above all living beings.

"Facing all this, Wentian, what choice will you make?

"Will you become lost in the prosperity of the outside world?

"Or will your original heart remain, wanting to fight for a thread of life for the humans of this place?

"Or, as you once said, will you sever this cycle and stop the tragedy of this place from continuing?"

The treant avatar's figure flashed and disappeared.

Wentian and the others saw the treant avatar at the edge of the Forest of the Azure Sea.

"Tree King, why are you blocking us?"

Wariness appeared in Moyue's eyes, and his voice was low as he said, "Could it be that you regret it?"

The treant avatar stroked his beard and smiled. "Even if I regretted it, how could this avatar of mine be a match for you, Flood Dragon King?"

"Moyue, stop fooling around." Wentian cupped his fists toward the treant avatar. "Senior, do you have instructions for us?"

Moyue turned his dragon head away and no longer spoke.

Who exactly was the servant here?

The treant avatar did not care about this matter either and said, "I came this time to tell you one more piece of information along the way."

"Last time I went to Sacred Mountain, I learned from an old friend that, at the earliest, thirty-six, and at the latest, forty. I know you understand. You may go."

After saying this, the treant avatar transformed into a ball of green light and vanished in an instant.

"This old man is getting on in years, right? So mysterious and rambling!" Moyue muttered.

Wentian understood what the numbers he mentioned meant and thought inwardly, "Within thirty-six years, I must form my core and return!"

Although he had prepared the underground refuge plan, he could not predict how the situation would develop. He had to return personally and oversee things.

Wentian swept his gaze over the others. "After leaving this place, you are not to tell anyone your origins. You only need to say you are rogue cultivators traveling through various places. Do you all understand?"

"Understood," Jianyi Mingxian and the others answered one after another.

Wentian looked at Moyue again. "Do you still remember the route?"

Moyue scratched his head with a dragon claw and laughed awkwardly. "It has been several thousand years. How could I remember clearly? In any case, flying south is definitely right."

The corners of Wentian's mouth twitched slightly. He thought that this guide seemed somewhat unreliable.

"Forget it. Let us do that for now."

"What do you mean? Why do I feel like you are looking down on this seat?"

"You heard wrong. Carry us south. Along the way, investigate the surroundings from time to time. Perhaps we can encounter human cultivators who have come out to temper themselves."

"Oh."

Moyue answered and carried them south.

Ye Fan transmitted to Jianyi Deyue, "Why does Lord Moyue seem a little foolish... simple?"

"Matters of elders are not something we need to worry about."

"Fine."

One month later,

After a long flight, Wentian and the others suffered attacks from Golden Core flying demonic beasts seven or eight times. In the end, relying on Moyue's powerful strength, they finally arrived at the edge of the human region.

"Wentian, there are human cultivators in that forest. One late Foundation Establishment, two early Foundation Establishment, and three late Qi Refining."

Wentian thought for a moment and said, "Since we have reached the edge of human territory, return to the spirit beast pouch first. After we find a place to settle, I will let you come out.

"Otherwise, if a third-rank demonic beast appears in a human region, I fear it may provoke Golden Core cultivators to surround and attack you."

"After flying for so long, this seat is also a little tired. Be careful yourselves. This seat will have a good sleep."

After saying this, his body suddenly shrank, then turned into a streak of light and entered the spirit beast pouch.

"Let us go. We will first go over and ask about the situation."

Wentian concealed his realm to late Foundation Establishment. Jianyi Mingxian and Jianyi Deling were at the second or third level of Foundation Establishment, while Jianyi Deyue was at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

Ye Fan disguised himself as ninth-level Qi Refining.
