Shennong Sequence

"Senior brother, look, look! That's Senior Sister Xin Ruyin, the most talented inner disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts lineage, who has laid the foundation for the Great Dao!" Wang Tian's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Hmm~, I see it, I see it!"

When Zhao Yun's junior sister pulled his arm and he caught a glimpse of Xin Ruyin walking straight toward him out of the corner of his eye, a strange sense of guilt inexplicably swept through his heart.
However, when Xin Ruyin walked towards him, it was truly like a storm—a figure in pure white slowly walked in from the rosy light. The woman's black hair cascaded down to her waist like an ink waterfall, with only a single jade hairpin loosely holding half of her long hair in place. A few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, trembling slightly with each step, as if moonlight was flowing through her hair, exuding a chilling aura!

In contrast, she was surrounded by a number of obsequious disciples who followed her closely, vying with each other to get close to her and exchange a few words.

Even as Xin Ruyin's true form appeared and she took a few steps forward, the people gathered around her seemed to be drawn in by a magnet, and several more layers appeared in an instant.

Before they even reached Zhao Yun, they were already surrounded.

“Miss Ruyin! My ancestor has formed a Great Dao Golden Core! A few days ago, I specially asked my family for a Foundation Establishment cultivation manual. Now that I have met you, I would like to use it as a betrothal gift!” A disciple in brocade robes squeezed to the front row, holding up a jade scroll. Its Daoist aura was extraordinary and painful to the eyes.

"Get lost! You think you can use a Foundation Establishment stage manual as a betrothal gift?" A disciple in green robes immediately rebuked, "Who doesn't know that Senior Sister Ruyin is incredibly talented and destined to reach at least the True Core stage in the future! You think you can lure a True Core expert home with just a Foundation Establishment stage manual that can be easily copied? You're really naive..."

"Yeah, Liu Tianming, what the hell are you talking about? Show me something real!" Another disciple in brown robes clapped his hands, the spiritual energy causing the surrounding air to buzz. "Buying this and that every day, spending only a few spirit stones? You think you're worthy to embarrass yourself in front of Senior Sister Ruyin?"

As they talked, spiritual energy clashed among the crowd, magical artifacts flashed with light, and it looked like a fight was about to break out...

Zhao Yun was truly dumbfounded!

"Senior brother, look how amazing Senior Sister Xin is!" Junior sister Wang Tian said, pointing to the crowd that had suddenly gathered in front of them, standing next to Zhao Yun.

Seeing that there were still some glances directed his way from among the crowd, Zhao Yun could only nod and say, "Yes, they are quite formidable!"

However, Zhao Yun then received a telepathic message from Xin Ruyin, and dragged Wang Tian, ​​who still wanted to watch the excitement, into the spacious Earthly Realm Hall.

Xin Ruyin quickly dismissed the many so-called protectors and disappeared into the crowd.

Finally, the three met in an office annex of the Earthly Realm's Hall of All Things.

Wang Tian, ​​who was standing next to Zhao Yun, was so shocked that she stammered and couldn't say a word!

Xin Ruyin's narrowed eyes glanced at Wang Tian, ​​who was clutching Zhao Yun's sleeve, a dangerous glint in them, yet she simply asked, "When did you arrive, young master?"

"I happened to hear my junior sister mention you a while ago, so I came over for a visit." Zhao Yun, having spent a long time with Xin Ruyin, naturally knew that when Xin Ruyin said "when she came," she was not referring to the time he entered this Imperial Immortal City, but rather when he arrived in this ancient era!

After the two exchanged a cryptic exchange, Wang Tian finally realized what was going on and kept tapping Zhao Yun's shoulder with her small hand, asking in a soft voice, "Senior brother, these days, no, since I entered the mountain, you seem to have never left the Five Elements Immortal Mountain of the Ten Thousand Spirits Inner Sect, right? How come I don't know when you had any contact with this genius of the Ten Thousand Beasts lineage?"
"And now, you've managed to get this genius disciple of the Beast Clan to abandon all his suitors and spend time alone with his senior brother... oh wait, I mean, to spend time alone with the three of us in a room?" "A long time ago, before you even entered the mountain, we already knew each other!" Zhao Yun lied, patching up the lie to avoid his junior sister asking too many questions.

"Oh, I see!"

In an instant, Wang Tian imagined a scene of love and hate between them, but then she quickly dismissed it—Xin Ruyin had just called her senior brother "Young Master," and that was no ordinary address. It was more like a little maid entering the immortal sect with her young master, and the little maid rapidly displaying her talent and rising in rank, creating a love-hate relationship.

And what about myself? Would I be considered... well, no, I wouldn't say I interfered!

But the more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Just as Wang Tian's mind was in turmoil, Xin Ruyin spoke up: "Then why don't you come to the next room to sit down, Junior Sister? I'll talk to your Senior Brother about something, shall we?"

"Oh, ahhh, um... don't be afraid, senior brother, you still have me!" Wang Tian got up uncomfortably and went out the door.

Zhao Yun found it somewhat amusing, wondering what his junior sister had imagined this time.

“Young Master only arrived recently? As for me, I have been in this world for over twenty years.” Xin Ruyin said slowly, “In addition, I have learned that among the more than one hundred people who entered the ruins of the Wanling Yudao Sect with us, most of them do not have spiritual roots and are still lingering in the outer sect, at the Refining Essence stage; only a few, like you and me, who possess the Wanling Seal, have good spiritual roots, are in the inner sect, and are at the Qi Refining stage.”

And Gongshu Tianming also came to me and conducted some verification with me:
This world is not an illusion; it seems to be a real historical place!
Furthermore, it seems that from the moment our people stepped into the Immortal Sect, the sect leader suddenly issued a decree—within a hundred years, only entry is allowed, not exit!
Furthermore, the Flying Immortal Platform connected to the Heavenly Dao Palace of the Immortal Sect has also stopped allowing people to descend to the lower realms!
In short, the rules of the entire Immortal Sect seem to have changed somewhat from the moment we were the first to enter, but not by much... After all, the Immortal Sect is vast and spans countless miles; even if we low-ranking disciples were to act recklessly, we wouldn't be able to create any significant trouble!

Xin Ruyin told Zhao Yun what she had discovered.

Then Zhao Yun also talked about some of his discoveries: from exploring the fundamental logic of the world through the material transformation method, to using the Reincarnation Bead to cultivate his will in the meaning of reincarnation, exploring the essence of the world's reality and illusion, he sensed that this is a real world.

Therefore, this contact confirms that everyone has traveled back to the ancient times!

But ultimately, the ultimate question is:

How do we solve this problem?
Dreaming back to the ancient immortal era, being able to directly enter the inner sect of the immortal sect and have such an immortal scripture to learn is an extremely good thing.

The problem is that everyone's true form is not in this ancient world, but in the future!
What has come is only the soul and will... Does that mean we have to wait for the passage of time and strive to live into the future?
But that's impossible.

The vast history is like fleeting clouds; only those with immeasurable longevity substances, or even those who directly become immortals, could possibly survive the changes of countless years and the various processes that led to the destruction of the Wanling Yudao Sect.

Otherwise, how could one easily endure the endless passage of time? (End of Chapter)
