A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"..."

Nangong Jiutian pondered for a moment, seemingly after careful consideration, then smiled and nodded.

"Sure, for the sake of this kid, I can keep an eye out for you."

She agreed, but she felt the chances were slim.

After all, the Moon Wheel Holy Land has been searching for so many years and has gone through so many generations of Holy Lords, but they have not found a suitable one.

It is clear that finding the right person is no easy task.

Upon hearing this, Li Henyue smiled.

"Thank you very much."

This also shows that she achieved her goal.

"Don't thank me yet. I won't actively help you find a successor. At most, I'll keep an eye out for outstanding ones."

Nangong Jiutian shook his head, then asked him.

"Furthermore, how can I determine which successor is suitable for you?"

Li Henyue pondered for a moment, then conjured a fist-sized crystal in her hand.

She handed it out and said to the two of them with a smile.

"If you carry it with you, you'll be able to determine whether it's suitable for me."

Looking at the stone in her hand, Nangong Jiutian seemed to find it unfamiliar and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? What's this?"

Ye Yun, standing nearby, sighed inwardly. It was truly a rare thing to see something she didn't even recognize.

Then, Li Henyue explained with a smile.

"This item is called the Moon Ancestor Stone. It is one of the tokens of the Moon Wheel Holy Land from the very, very early days."

"Its function is to detect the holder's compatibility with the power of the moon."

Ultimately, this thing is just a testing crystal that can detect talent.

Nangong Jiutian nodded and then asked.

"So... what constitutes meeting your standards?"

"Just look at the light shining up above."

Li Henyue looked at the two of them and explained the information to them.

"If it is dim and without light, it means that it is not in harmony with the power of the moon."

"If it lights up in white, it means there is only a small degree of compatibility."

"If it lights up green, it means the compatibility is relatively high."

"If it lights up in blue, it means the compatibility is extremely high, which means it meets the standard."

Finally, she sighed softly.

"I have tested all the Holy Lords who have passed through this lineage with this Moon Ancestor Stone, and they are basically all between white and green."

You should know that those who are chosen to participate in the Moon Goddess Trial are...

They are almost certainly the most outstanding individuals of their generation within the Holy Land!

Even so, not a single one has met the standard!

It is clear that the requirements for this test are quite high.

Ye Yun, who was standing nearby, noticed something interesting and asked curiously.

"Since this stone can help test talent, why not just give it to the current Holy Lord?"

"Wouldn't it be more suitable and more efficient to have him help find a successor?"

In his view, passively waiting here is a very inefficient behavior.

After all, you might only see one every few hundred or even a thousand years.

If it were possible to give the selection to the Holy Lord outside, and let the other party conduct the selection.

Then the scope can be expanded to the entire Eastern Continent, and even the entire continent!

Upon hearing this, Li Henyue replied calmly.

"Because the human heart is unpredictable, I hope that the person who will receive the inheritance is an autonomous individual."

"If the selection is done by those younger people from outside, there's no guarantee that as soon as a suitable person is found, they won't be controlled."

Ye Yun suddenly realized.

"I see……"

From this perspective, Li Henyue's considerations are indeed a bit too far ahead.

So what is the price?

It's possible that for tens of thousands of years, they haven't been able to find a completely suitable successor.

Just then, Nangong Jiutian, who was standing next to him, joked.

"Since you're worried about the unpredictability of people's hearts, are you really that confident in me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll find a suitable person later, control them beforehand, and steal your inheritance for free?"

Li Henyue was taken aback by her reminder.

Then, she chuckled and shook her head.

"Of course I believe that's impossible, after all...would you even be interested in what I have?"

Although she cherishes her own legacy.

But he also knew that these things held no appeal for the first person of antiquity before him.

That's why she felt comfortable entrusting it to the other party.

Of course, another reason is the delicate relationship between Ye Yun, Nangong Jiutian, and the Moon Wheel Holy Land.

According to Ye Yun, the other party will likely marry into the Moon Wheel Holy Land and become part of the family.

In that case, there's no need to worry about any major accidents happening.

It's fair to say that Li Henyue's plans were meticulously executed...

After hearing her words, Nangong Jiutian nodded and smiled.

"Interesting, you do have a good sense of self-awareness."

For her, Lihenyue belonged to people from the same era and along the same path.

She has almost everything the other person has, and she also has things the other person doesn't have.

Of course, some special abilities related to the Great Dao are excluded.

Then, she glanced at Ye Yundao.

"In that case, accept it."

This means that she has officially agreed to the matter.

Ye Yun nodded, stepped forward, and carefully took the Moon Ancestor Stone.

Just before that, he was still smiling.

"Do you think it's possible that I'm the right person to succeed you?"

He had just finished speaking and accepted the Moon Ancestor Stone when... there was no reaction whatsoever.

"Okay, it seems not."

Ye Yun scratched his head, a helpless look on his face.

As expected, I am not some chosen one.

Seeing this, Li Henyue was not surprised and said calmly.

"That's normal. If you were truly in harmony with the power of the moon, I would have noticed it long ago."

She could even see that there was a person hidden inside Ye Yun's body, so it was perfectly normal for her to be able to see his talent as well.

"Well, that's really sad."

Ye Yun sighed softly and shook his head.

Although I didn't expect it to actually meet the standard.

But the fact that he has no talent at all is still frustrating.

Li Henyue looked at the two of them and gave them a reminder.

"By the way, if you find a suitable person, remember that they should enter this place at the peak of the Dao Establishment stage."

Clearly, this level of cultivation is the optimal point for receiving the inheritance.

If it's any lower, then it's impossible to accept her complete inheritance.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun responded.

"Understood, if the right opportunity arises."

Seeing this, Li Henyue nodded in satisfaction.

After that, she raised her hand, and a stream of blue light flowed towards Ye Yun.

The light flowed onto his arm, leaving a faint blue mark.

Seeing this, Ye Yun glanced at it and asked in confusion.

"Huh? What's this?"

Li Henyue withdrew her jade hand and explained to him calmly.

"This is the Seal of the Moon, proof of passing the Moon Goddess's trial. It has been worn by successive Holy Lords and can be considered a symbol."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's eyes lit up.

In other words, I've succeeded.

They skipped the challenge and directly obtained the pass certificate.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

He bowed to Li Henyue, looking at the mark on his arm, becoming happier the more he looked.

Although the reward wasn't earned through my own tireless efforts and hard work, it still solved the problem!

In response to his gratitude, Li Henyue waved her hand.

"No need to thank me, it's just a transaction."

If it weren't for Nangong Jiutian, she would never have helped Ye Yun do such a thing.

After all... it's like breaking your own rules...

After that, her gaze fell on Nangong Jiutian, and she thought for a moment before asking a question.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Nangong, we've only talked about my affairs. What have you been through before that?"

Having finally met this former number one, she also had many questions in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian shook his head.

"That's a long story..."

Even so, she still gave Li Henyue a brief account afterwards.

Although I had told Ye Yun before that he was not from the same era as me.

Meeting this moon of parting sorrows feels like reuniting with an old friend, making conversations about the past even more meaningful.

After hearing Nangong Jiutian's story, Lihenyue was filled with emotion.

After a long pause, she took a deep breath and said.

"So that's how it is. Even you ended up like this."

At this point, she looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

"I wonder if anyone will ever have the chance to break the shackles of this world in the future."

Over the years, she has witnessed generations of Moon Wheel Saint Lords come here.

Furthermore, each generation of Holy Lords is somewhat inferior in talent and strength to the previous one.

Nangong Jiutian simply smiled faintly at this.

"Of course, there are people who can do it."

Li Henyue paused for a moment, then immediately asked in confusion.

"Hmm? Who can do that?"

That's him.

Nangong Jiutian's gaze fell on Ye Yun, and he said with a smile.

"If anyone still has a chance, it's definitely this kid."

Ye Yun, who was suddenly mentioned, was taken aback.

But on second thought, what the other person said didn't seem to be wrong.

After all, she still possessed the power left behind by that Empress Tianyan.

As long as one can cultivate to a level sufficient for ascension, getting by shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Whether he can break the shackles of heaven and earth depends on his achievements afterward!

After glancing at him, Li Henyue couldn't help but say something.

"You mean... him?"

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly. Why did he feel like he was being looked down upon?

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian smiled and said.

"Li Henyue, this kid is no ordinary person. You'd better not underestimate him."

Her words of support touched Ye Yun somewhat.

Then, Li Henyue stared at him for a long time.

Finally, after she looked away, she shook her head and said...

"I really can't see what's so special about this kid."

Ye Yun coughed lightly, offering a reminder.

"I should be alright, I do have some top-grade Heaven-level cultivation talent."

He felt that if he didn't say something, he would really be considered a good-for-nothing.

However, Li Henyue paused for a moment and shook her head.

"A top-tier Heavenly Rank talent... I was one of them, as were many others in the past."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"No, were things really that exaggerated back then?"

Although I know it was a golden age, it can't be this outrageous, can it?

Li Henyue explained calmly.

"In fact, if you want to reach the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank, Heaven Rank talent is the minimum requirement."

"As for top-grade Heaven-rank items, while they weren't numerous before, they weren't exactly unique either."

After saying that, he seemed to feel that it was too much of a blow to Ye Yun.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Of course, your talent is indeed much better than that of the recent generations of Moon Wheel Saint Lords."

"If you just want to ascend to immortality and break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, you probably won't be very competitive."

"After all, right next to us stood a guy with talent even more heaven-defying than a top-tier Heavenly Rank cultivator, and he still lost, didn't he?"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Nangong Jiutian, clearly referring to him.

In fact, Li Henyue's thoughts are quite normal. Even someone as talented as Nangong Jiutian still failed to ascend to immortality.

In comparison, although Ye Yuntian's top-grade skill is powerful, there is still a significant gap between him and Nangong Jiutian.

Under such circumstances, how can we talk about breaking free from the shackles?

"All right……"

Ye Yun sighed, feeling a sense of defeat.

It's true, we can't compare to these guys from the ancient golden age; they're just too monstrous.

Nangong Jiutian, standing nearby, couldn't help but tease him.

"This kid's situation can't be judged solely on his talent."

Nangong Jiutian glanced at Ye Yun, a playful look in his eyes.

"Do you know how long it took this kid to cultivate from the Qi Condensation stage to the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm?"

This strange question startled Li Henyue for a moment.

After a moment's thought, she gave a fairly objective answer.

"Could it be that it only took a little over a decade?"

It takes more than a decade, which is also the time it takes for most people with top-grade Heavenly Rank talent to go from Qi Condensation to Extraordinary.

However, Nangong Jiutian shook his head.

"No, not that long."

Li Henyue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm? So, like you, it only took you a few years?"

If it's at this time, then it's truly outrageous.

They even arrived much faster than I did.

But Nangong Jiutian shook his head with a smile.

"No, no, no, let your imagination run wild."

Li Henyue's expression turned serious, and she asked in surprise.

"This...it can't have only taken a year or two, can it?"

"It's pretty close."

Nangong Jiutian glanced at Ye Yun and chuckled.

"Tell him how long it has taken you to cultivate?"

"Um... probably less than a year."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment and gave a rather conservative answer.

In reality, it should only take a few months.

Even so, Li Henyue was still stunned.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she rushed forward in a flash.

Then she grabbed Ye Yun, scrutinized her closely, but her eyebrows furrowed in the end.

"Promoted to this level in less than a year? What makes him so special?"

"That's his little secret."

Nangong Jiutian smiled faintly and glanced at Ye Yun.

"In short, this kid is not as simple as you think."

"If anyone is going to break free of these shackles in the future, it won't be me, it won't be you, it will definitely be this kid."

Li Henyue was silent for a while before looking at Ye Yun and taking a deep breath.

"Alright...it seems I was mistaken."

She did not doubt Nangong Jiutian's words.

In this kind of situation, the other party would probably disdain to lie to her.

Finally, Li Henyue shook her head and said.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have made any demands and would have helped you directly. I would have done you a favor back then."

In this way, she could understand why Nangong Jiutian had chosen to take refuge in Ye Yun's body.

Seeing this, Ye Yun had some doubts, thinking that it wasn't too late to do someone a favor now.

I wonder if I heard what he was thinking.

Li Henyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said...

"By the way, the current Holy Lord is called... Yue Wumian, right?"

"Hmm... It is indeed Senior Yue Wumian."

Ye Yun replied respectfully.

Then, Li Henyue smiled at him and said.

Do you have any clean paper here?

"Um... yes, there is."

Ye Yun nodded, then took out a piece of white paper.

Just then, Li Henyue spoke slowly.

"I don't have much to give you, but since you've married into my Moon Wheel Holy Land, I'll give you a calligraphy piece."

As soon as she finished speaking, she flicked her finger, and streams of blue light flew out and landed on the white paper in front of her.

A moment later, four large characters were written on it: "A match made in heaven!"

After finishing, Li Henyue flicked her finger, and the paper fell back into Ye Yun's hand.

Looking at the four large characters on the white paper and the moonlight power contained within them, Ye Yun instantly understood.

His eyes lit up, and he bowed to Li Henyue, expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you so much for the calligraphy, senior!"

When he got back, he planned to frame the calligraphy.

With this, it would be more useful than anything else, whether placed in the Moon Wheel Holy Land or facing the Moon Wheel Holy Lord!

Li Henyue smiled slightly, her voice becoming much gentler towards him.

"No need to be so polite, we're all family now."

"I only hope that if anything happens to the Moon Wheel Holy Land in the future, you can offer some assistance and help resolve the crisis."

Her ability to change her expression so quickly is quite remarkable.

Ultimately, however, it's all for the sake of future generations and the future Moon Wheel Holy Land, which makes it understandable.

Nangong Jiutian raised an eyebrow slightly and teased.

"Hey you, you can change your tune sometimes, huh? Weren't you just looking down on this kid?"

Faced with her teasing, Li Henyue remained unperturbed and said calmly.

"Who told you not to finish your sentence?"

At this moment, Ye Yun didn't care about all that and nodded seriously.

"Rest assured, senior. If something happens to the Moon Wheel Holy Land, then it's my problem. I will certainly not stand idly by!"

"Hmm... then I can rest assured."

Li Henyue nodded slightly and smiled.

Then, as if remembering something, she pondered for a moment and said...

"By the way, if you ever manage to ascend to the Upper Realm someday, could you do me a small favor?"

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded.

"Please speak, senior."

Li Henyue took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"If there truly is an upper realm, a celestial realm, I hope you will erect a wordless monument for me there."

"Consider it as a part of my life having touched upon that longed-for world."

This is indeed a very small matter.

Without a second thought, Ye Yun replied seriously.

"Don't worry, senior. If the opportunity arises, I will definitely find you an auspicious burial site!"

"At that time, I will bring Ru Shuang and the others to the memorial service."

Upon hearing this, Li Henyue smiled.

"That's good, thank you."

This might be her last wish.

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian looked at her and asked.

"So, you're planning to stay here permanently?"

"Besides this, I have nowhere else to go."

Li Henyue shook her head and said calmly.

"My physical body remains here, and this remnant soul is born from it."

"If we leave this place, our souls will be scattered."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she suddenly asked.

"Hmm? You still have your physical body?"

"That's right, it will be preserved here."

Li Henyue nodded slightly, and with a wave of her hand, a crystal coffin appeared nearby.

Around the coffin, there was an array that was operating around it.

Ye Yun followed the gaze and saw a female cultivator dressed in gorgeous clothes lying there as if she were asleep.

Its appearance is the same as Li Henyue in front of us, which is to be expected, since they are the same person.

What's truly astonishing is that even after tens of thousands of years, it has not decayed.

It really was as if she was simply asleep, and it was unclear whether she was related to the surrounding formation.

Nangong Jiutian stepped forward, glanced at the crystal coffin, and pondered.

"Not bad, it's well preserved."

"After all, he passed away peacefully in meditation rather than in battle, so he is truly whole."

Li Henyue shook her head and said calmly.

"However, it doesn't really matter anymore."

"..."

Nangong Jiutian pondered for a long time, seemingly considering something.

Finally, she suddenly squinted at Li Henyue and said.

"What if I told you that there might be a chance to bring you back to life?"
