Chapter 545: Young Friend, Are You Prepared For Ascension?

After the passage was successfully constructed, both Yu Xian, Ning Zhongze, and Huang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter had been kept secret from the other sisters from the very beginning; only the three of them knew. Now that the dust had settled, the anxiety hanging over them finally subsided.

Yu Xian looked at the joyful glint in the eyes of the two women beside him, and his heart was filled with warmth.

“Although the passage is built, the situation in the new world is still unknown. We must proceed with caution.” Yu Xian retracted his smile, his tone returning to its usual composure. “Next, I will conduct a preliminary investigation of the new world. After grasping the basic situation, we will decide on the subsequent plan.”

“Mm, we will follow your arrangements. Just be extremely careful when you go alone.” Ning Zhongze trusted Yu Xian, but she couldn’t help but worry.

“Yes, Husband. Everything in the new world is still an unknown. You must not be careless. If you encounter any difficult trouble, remember to return promptly. All of us sisters will be waiting for you here,” Huang Rong added.

Her mind was meticulous, and she instantly thought of numerous potential risks.

Yu Xian held both their hands and gave them a reassuring smile: “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. If I run into a powerful enemy, the worst case is I just come right back. Moreover, this time is only for reconnaissance, not for delving into danger. I will return soon.”

“After I leave, please take good care of things at home. Especially Nan Wei, Qing Feng, and You Wei. Their Cultivation levels cannot keep up for the time being. I worry they might feel a sense of disparity, so please counsel them more often.” Yu Xian meticulously instructed, considering all the major and minor affairs of the household.

“Husband, rest assured, we will take good care of these matters. You just focus on the investigation; with us here, nothing will go wrong at home.” Ning Zhongze nodded seriously, then added, “However, you should wait a few days before investigating. After all, You Wei just gave herself to you. If you leave so suddenly, I fear she will overthink things.”

“Mm, we could also go back to see Guo’er and the others first, to let them prepare mentally. We can see if they are willing to continue following us to the new world,” Huang Rong also said.

“Fine, there’s no rush anyway. I’ll spend a few more days with you and stop by Xue Luo Manor on the way.” Yu Xian also felt he couldn’t just leave immediately.

Afterward, Yu Xian stayed in the Small World for a few days before returning to Xue Luo Manor.

The manor was still only occupied by Brother Gou and A Xiu. The young couple was living lovingly in the manor. Brother Gou focused on Cultivation, while A Xiu stayed by his side accompanying him.

When Yu Xian returned to Xue Luo Manor, Brother Gou was extremely happy. He immediately stopped Cultivating and hurried to greet him, grinning widely, “Young Master, you’ve returned! A Xiu was just mentioning you a while ago.”

A Xiu also blushed, standing behind Brother Gou, timidly bowing to Yu Xian, her eyes full of joy.

Yu Xian looked at the simple and honest young couple and teased, “Look at the life you two are leading; it’s even more comfortable than mine.”

Brother Gou chuckled, scratching his head, “Being able to guard the manor and accompany A Xiu, I feel content.”

A Xiu also agreed, then carefully brought tea for Yu Xian.

After briefly asking them a few questions, Yu Xian changed the topic and brought up the matter of the new world.

“In a few days, I might have to take you all to a new place. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi there is even more abundant, which is greatly beneficial for Cultivation, but there might also be unknown dangers. Are you willing to come with me?”

Upon hearing this, Brother Gou nodded heavily without the slightest hesitation: “Wherever the Young Master goes, A Xiu and I will follow!”

Yu Xian had said something similar once before, and then they arrived at this place! Now, he wouldn’t hesitate; they all trusted Yu Xian.

A Xiu also nodded vigorously, looking at Yu Xian with determined eyes, “We trust the Young Master.”

Yu Xian felt a warmth in his heart. Having such a group of people who unconditionally trusted him was his greatest wealth.

“A Xiu, send someone to call back all the brothers. This matter still needs to be discussed with them to see what they think,” Yu Xian said to A Xiu.

When they all left, Xue Luo Manor was entrusted to A Xiu to manage. A Xiu was originally a Young Miss from a major sect; managing Xue Luo Manor was not a difficult task for her. Moreover, Xue Luo Manor didn’t really have many affairs; she only needed to manage some servants.

“Yes, Young Master.” A Xiu immediately went to make arrangements.

The intelligence network of the Dark River now spanned across all nations. Su Mu Yu and Mu Yu Mo had done very well. Yu Xian was considering whether to bring them along to the Small World to continue gathering intelligence.

However, Su Mu Yu probably wouldn’t want to, as he only wished to lead the Dark River through a more peaceful life.

After the message was sent out, the first one to return was surprisingly Zhang Sanfeng!

“Immortal Master, long time no see. How was your journey of travel this time?” Yu Xian gave a slight bow to Zhang Sanfeng. Although his Cultivation had long surpassed Zhang Sanfeng’s, he still showed deep respect to him.

“Hahaha, this old Daoist’s journey of wandering has truly opened my eyes. No matter where I went, it gave this old Daoist new insights into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.” Zhang Sanfeng indicated that his trip had yielded great rewards.

“Especially at the border of the Western Regions, this old Daoist once saw the ruins of an ancient temple. The scriptures remaining on the walls, though blurred, secretly contained the ultimate principles of the operation of Heaven and Earth, allowing this old Daoist to deepen his understanding of Taiji Yin and Yang.” He stroked his long beard, his eyes twinkling with the light of a sage, and the aura around him was more harmonious and profound than when he left, clearly indicating further progress in his Cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian’s admiration for Zhang Sanfeng deepened.

Although he hadn’t stinted on providing Medicinal Pills to Zhang Sanfeng, the majority of Zhang Sanfeng’s Cultivation progress came from his own efforts. He was terrifyingly strong!

“Young friend, now that you’ve returned, you must have also felt the suppression of the Heavenly Dao. Are you thinking about Ascension?” Zhang Sanfeng’s gaze was sharp, as if he had seen through Yu Xian’s thoughts.

Yu Xian did not hide it and nodded frankly: “Immortal Master has the Wisdom Eye. The rules of Heaven and Earth in this world now constitute a restraint on me. If I wish to advance further, I can only shatter the Void and travel to the broader Immortal Cultivation Realm.”

“This old Daoist feels the same. Is Young Friend prepared to ascend?” Zhang Sanfeng inquired.

“I plan to ascend, but not in the way the Immortal Master imagines,” Yu Xian curved his lips into a smile.

“Oh?” Zhang Sanfeng instantly became confused. However, everything Yu Xian had done up until now always exceeded his expectations. Seeing Yu Xian so calm and composed, he couldn’t help but become expectant.

Yu Xian didn’t string him along but directly asked, “Does the Immortal Master still remember how we arrived in this world?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng’s eyes lit up! The passage! A direct passage!

In his original world, his Realm had always been suppressed, but he had no way to achieve a Breakthrough. However, later, Yu Xian directly brought them to this world, and his Cultivation was released.

Now he was already at the Peak of the Immortal Realm and vaguely felt suppressed again. That was why as soon as he heard Yu Xian had returned, he came back immediately to see him, knowing that Yu Xian’s Cultivation was higher than his and he must have the same problem. He never expected Yu Xian to give him such a surprise!
