Chapter 262 Farewell
More than a decade ago, when the Yao Guang Holy Land was still prosperous, Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, was already famous in the Eastern Wilderness, and countless geniuses had fallen for her.

But as she disappeared without a trace, everyone knew that she had left the Yao Guang Holy Land and had long since vanished from Beidou, her whereabouts unknown.

Many of the once-proud women who were once her equals now shine brightly in the Eastern Wilderness, such as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Maiden of Zifu, which is a pity.

Qi Zhe was the only one who knew her whereabouts, but he hadn't come back to visit her in the past few years, which could be considered his neglect.

Now, Qi Zhe has arrived at the desolate forbidden land once again. Bathed in moonlight, he stands on a high mountain, carefully sensing the location of the celestial palace in tranquility.

"chichichi"

It was as if beams of celestial light were blooming in the night, and in the gaps between heaven and earth, continuous celestial palaces emitted auspicious rays of light, illuminating the boundless darkness.

At this time, it still sits high on the mountain, very conspicuous and eye-catching, and can be observed at a glance.

"Looking at it now, it truly encompasses all the changes of heaven and earth!"

Qi Zhe stood atop the mountain, his eyes flashing with divine light, but he remained motionless for a long time, deep in thought about how to enter.

This celestial palace contains the Dao patterns of an emperor that can alter the course of events. One cannot reach it without sufficient cultivation and skill; otherwise, one can only approach it by luck.

However, Qi Zhe is now confident. Last time, it took him three whole days to gradually get into it, but now it won't take that long.

At this moment, Qi Zhe strode forward, his true form traversing the heavens, and in an instant, he rushed into a chaotic field.

"This hundred-mile-long area is probably difficult even for a saint to traverse," Qi Zhe muttered to himself.

This field distorts the heavens and the void, resembling an enormous maze that is constantly changing. Even saints would find it difficult to navigate if they could not comprehend it.

But for Qi Zhe now, it's just a bit more complicated; his cultivation and source techniques are enough to support him on his way.

As time passed, by the early morning of the second day, Qi Zhe had traversed a hundred miles of territory, as if he had crossed a sea of ​​suffering to reach the other shore.

Qi Zhe slowly walked up the mountain, his hands behind his back, his face expressionless. He couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of Yao Xi.

When Qi Zhe stepped into the Immortal Palace, he instantly sensed a surging aura lurking within, which actually belonged to a powerful being.

"Who?!"

Yao Xi, who was in seclusion, was startled awake. She then suddenly opened her eyes and, moments later, burst out of the palace amidst a myriad of silver rays of light.

Yao Xi remains the same as ever, with stunning beauty, captivating charm, and a graceful figure. Dressed in a light blue dress, she seems untouched by worldly dust.

Her beauty remained unchanged; she was still the peerless beauty who was famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness, and even when she was angry, she had a unique charm.

Qi Zhe's lips curled into a slight smile as he watched her appear, and he said, "Senior Sister Yao Xi, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Qi Zhe, Yao Xi's initial nervousness vanished instantly. She landed slowly on the ground and said irritably:

"Who do we have here? It's you."

Her expression was a mixture of anger and joy, a mixture of delight at Qi Zhe's arrival and annoyance that he hadn't visited her for many years.

Qi Zhe didn't say much upon hearing this, but just smiled and said, "Senior Sister's cultivation has greatly improved; it seems she must have undergone a lot of arduous training."

Yao Xi's current high level of cultivation must be due to a period of arduous training and comprehension of the ancient scriptures of the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable.

Qi Zhe did not doubt her talent. After all, Yao Xi was among the most talented of the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Eastern Wilderness, and becoming a Great Saint would not be difficult for her.

Yao Xi was speechless upon hearing this. She had already noticed Qi Zhe's cultivation level and couldn't help but feel somewhat disheartened.

After a moment, she said, "It seems I'll never catch up to you in this lifetime." Qi Zhe's talent truly surprised her; the fact that he had already severed his Dao in such a short time was unbelievable to Yao Xi.

However, now is not the time to talk about these things. Yao Xi led Qi Zhe into the palace and stopped in a magnificently decorated palace.

This is where Yao Xi is currently staying. As Qi Zhe sat down at a table, the two began to talk about their experiences over the past few years.

However, most of the time it was Qi Zhe who was talking, because Yao Xi was in seclusion for a long time and needed to understand the current situation in the Eastern Wilderness.

After a long while, Yao Xi said with a sigh, "I never imagined the Eastern Wilderness would be so fascinating now. Even Yao Guang was killed by you."

She had already heard about the great changes that had taken place in the Eastern Wilderness. The ancient races had emerged one after another, and the ancestral kings of each race were roaring across the land, creating a chaotic situation of war.

When she heard that Qi Zhe had killed Yao Guang and even fought against the traitorous ancient sage of Yao Guang, she was completely dazed.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe sighed and said, "The Yao Guang Holy Land is different now than it used to be. With a powerful sage presiding over it, I can't do anything about it for the time being."

Qi Zhe wanted to wipe out the Ruthless Clan, but killing the Holy Lord of Yao Guang and Yao Guang was not the end, as there were still others hidden among them.

But Yao Xi smiled upon hearing this, raising her willow-leaf eyebrows and saying:

"That's about right now. I believe you can build a completely new Yao Guang!"

She was very optimistic about Qi Zhe's future, simply because Qi Zhe truly impressed her.

But Qi Zhe fell silent upon hearing this, and after a long while said, "I am unable to rebuild the Yao Guang Holy Land, and I am about to leave the Beidou Ancient Star."

At this moment, Qi Zhe revealed his true purpose, leaving Yao Xi speechless with astonishment. She hurriedly asked, "Why are you leaving?"

"This vast and boundless starry sky has been the final battlefield for proving the path since ancient times, simply because the depths of the universe have gathered the geniuses of all races."

"Anyone who wants to attain enlightenment must go through this process. The Ruthless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, and the Azure Emperor all went, and so will I."

Qi Zhe's tone was very serious. Although he did not reveal his true purpose, it left Yao Xi speechless and unable to move for a moment.

Seeing this, Qi Zhe continued, "Once you step into the starry sky, it will be difficult to return for a hundred years. I cannot bear the responsibility of rebuilding Yao Guang, so I can only entrust it to my senior sister."

Qi Zhe then took out all his spoils of war. He had collected many weapons and treasures from his enemies, and now he gave them all to Yao Xi.

These items came from experts from various factions, and many materials for divine weapons were hidden inside, but they were no longer of any use to Qi Zhe.

Qi Zhe didn't even intend to keep Wang Teng's Heavenly Emperor Holy Sword. This sword was originally a divine weapon left by the Chaotic Ancient Emperor to its inheritor, and its divine power depended entirely on the user's cultivation level.

"And please also entrust the matter of guarding the heart to Senior Sister."

As he spoke, Qi Zhe did not forget to ask Yao Xi to take care of Shouxin, because he dared not let Duan De and Hei Huang take care of the child, fearing that the two of them would cheat people.

"Sigh, okay." Yao Xi could only sigh and reply as she watched Qi Zhe's actions.

Then, under Yao Xi's watchful gaze, Qi Zhe descended the mountain for the second time, crossed layers of fields, and opened a void passage to travel to Zhongzhou.

Qi Zhe moved extremely fast, covering hundreds of millions of miles in a single day, returning from the Northern Region to the Southern Region, and now returning to the Central Region. It can be described as traveling to the Northern Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

As the void behind Qishi Mansion trembled, Qi Zhe landed steadily on the summit of the mountain, where magnificent mountains and rivers stretched out before him.

The old manor lord, who was sitting cross-legged on the cliff, noticed Qi Zhe's return and said with some joy, "Four years have passed, and you've really caused a sensation!"

"Yes, please clear the way for me, Elder Lord!"
