Sensing Ye Yun's gaze, Nangong Jiutian's figure changed instantly, transforming into the appearance of a man in black robes.

This is also the disguise Ye Yun usually wears.

"The previous appearance was just an illusion."

Although she could easily reveal her identity now, she was too lazy to explain to anyone.

So, I decided to just use the alias that Ye Yun created.

As for Ye Yun, he didn't say anything, and was even happy to see the other party act as "Nangong".

This way, he can also solidify his other identity.

"I see."

Upon seeing Nangong Jiutian reveal his "true colors," Empress Yunxiao nodded in sudden realization.

He was somewhat surprised.

This fellow Daoist Nangong's illusion technique is truly unparalleled; even with her perception, she couldn't detect it at all.

Immediately, she thought of something and asked the two of them.

"By the way, what is the purpose of your visit?"

"Could it be that they knew about the Wind God Mountains from the beginning, and therefore came here specifically for this purpose?"

When this matter was mentioned, Ye Yun glanced at Nangong Jiutian.

After a moment's thought, he smiled and offered his explanation.

"Isn't it because Senior Nangong hasn't been out for a long time and recently wanted to travel around?"

"So, I went out with them."

Since it wasn't anything secret, Ye Yun just told him frankly.

As for him and Nangong Jiutian, they knew about the Fengshen Mountain Range beforehand, but they didn't say anything to avoid being criticized by the other party.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Indeed, sometimes when I'm in seclusion for too long, I also like to travel around."

Immediately, she solemnly extended her hand to Nangong Jiutian.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"I am the lord of Cloud City in the Western Continent, and my name is..."

Before she could finish her introduction, Nangong Jiutian waved his hand and said.

"No need for introductions, this kid has mentioned you to me before."

Before this, when Ye Yun had contacted her, she had seen most of them.

Therefore, I am quite clear about the matter concerning Empress Yunxiao.

"Oh? What does this senior know?"

Empress Yunxiao stared at Ye Yun for a moment, as if asking, "You didn't reveal anything you shouldn't have, did you?"

Fortunately, Nangong Jiutian wasn't so oblivious as to give him a faint smile.

"It's nothing much, just that you two joined forces to deal with the Ascension Sect, and now you're joining forces to deal with that blood-red monster."

As for the more subtle matters, they pretended not to know anything.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction, and the smile on her face returned to its kind tone.

"I see..."

She still values ​​promises, and if Ye Yun breaks them, her impression of him will immediately drop several notches.

At that moment, Ye Yun looked at her and asked.

"Senior, what you really want to ask isn't these things, is it?"

After all that had just happened, it was impossible for the other party not to be curious.

The reason I didn't ask might simply be because I felt it was inappropriate, but I'm sure I was thinking about it.

As expected, after Ye Yun brought it up, Empress Yunxiao immediately changed the subject and smiled.

"Elder Ye is right. I am indeed quite curious about your experience in there."

"Or...did you gain anything from being there?"

"Of course, if either of you feels uncomfortable saying it, you can refuse, which is understandable."

If it were her, she wouldn't easily mention it to others after unexpectedly obtaining a treasure.

Furthermore, Empress Yunxiao did not consider herself a person with a strong sense of curiosity.

If the situation weren't so special, she wouldn't even have asked.

Seeing this, Ye Yun glanced at Nangong Jiutian.

It seemed like they were asking her if she wanted them to tell her.

Just then, Nangong Jiutian asked him a question in return.

"I think Fellow Daoist Yunxiao should at least give us a heads-up before asking others, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have gotten something from inside, right?"

This sudden turn of events surprised Ye Yun.

Immediately, his gaze fell on Empress Yunxiao, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Sensing their gazes and Nangong Jiutian's question, Empress Yunxiao pondered for a moment.

Then, she nodded slightly.

"Indeed, I obtained something from that senior."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did you also pass that senior's test, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao gazed at him and said.

"So, Elder Ye, you passed it too, right?"

Being able to remember things about the assessment undoubtedly means that the memory has not been erased.

Now that things have come to this point, and both sides have already agreed, there is no need to hide anything.

Nangong Jiutian nodded slightly and responded.

"Not bad, both I and this kid passed."

Immediately, she looked at Empress Yunxiao and asked.

"Tell me, what did you get from that person?"

Ye Yun immediately cast a glance at him.

Empress Yunxiao pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke.

"I received a cultivation technique from that senior? What about you?"

At this moment, both sides are exchanging information little by little, probing for details.

Ye Yun stood silently beside him.

Nangong Jiutian narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Could it be a cultivation technique that helps one ascend to immortality?"

Empress Yunxiao paused for a moment, somewhat surprised, yet seemingly expecting it.

"It seems... we're all the same."

She took a deep breath and explained.

"At that time, that senior said that my talent was not bad and I had a good chance of ascending to the upper realm, but I would be limited by the seal of this world."

"Therefore, I will be given a method that can bypass the seal."

Immediately, she looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"Elder Ye, you are one too?"

"Yes...that's right."

Ye Yun nodded, with an expression that said, "We're all the same."

He didn't even tell Nangong Jiutian about his evaluation of that immortal elder.

When asked about it, he only briefly mentioned his physical talent.

After exchanging ideas, Empress Yunxiao readily agreed and directly condensed a cultivation technique into a single document.

"And you two?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian exchanged a glance.

Since they are so sincere, they naturally can't be sloppy.

Without hesitation, the two reached out and condensed a cultivation technique.

The three looked at each other, then transferred the cultivation technique they had condensed to the person next to them.

As expected, after the three of them exchanged the items and examined them carefully, the contents were indeed exactly the same.

"It seems that the three of us have obtained the exact same cultivation techniques."

In this way, they have even less to fight over.

After all, we all get the same thing.

After examining the document carefully, Empress Yunxiao asked Nangong Jiutian and Ye Yun.

"What do you think of the authenticity of this technique?"

Nangong Jiutian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said calmly.

"In my opinion, this technique is quite credible when it comes to matters of ascension."

This was a topic that Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian had discussed before.

Having seen all sorts of martial arts techniques, Nangong Jiutian's insight in this area is quite reliable.

After hearing this, Empress Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and asked.

"If that's the case, Fellow Daoist Nangong, do you think it's feasible to cultivate directly?"

"It's best to be cautious."

Nangong Jiutian shook his head and squinted his eyes.

"Just because it works well in matters of ascension doesn't mean that the technique is without problems."

"Although there is no evidence, I still believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Despite her exceptional talent and smooth cultivation path, she experienced no shortage of intrigue and deceit along the way.

In fact, because they are so outstanding, they face more temptations than the average person.

After achieving success and being recognized as an emperor, she traveled to many places and witnessed the wickedness of human nature.

Therefore, she now sees things more clearly than anyone else.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Nangong is right."

Empress Yunxiao narrowed her eyes and nodded.

"So, are you still going to cultivate?"

"Why not fix it?"

Nangong Jiutian smiled knowingly.

"How can you know where the problem lies in this technique if you don't actually practice it?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao's eyelids twitched.

Was it just her imagination? She always felt that Fellow Daoist Nangong seemed a bit crazy.

It's like knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, yet still venturing into the tiger's den.

But... this is for the best.

After all, if the other party didn't give it a try, he wouldn't dare to start cultivating.

"That's fine too."

Empress Yunxiao nodded slightly, praising him.

"However, if Fellow Daoist Nangong gains any insights in the future, I hope we can discuss them together."

Nangong Jiutian replied calmly.

"Of course."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Ye Yun, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"When the time comes, have this kid find you and convey my gains."

Clearly, her words carried a special meaning, as if she was intentionally trying to bring the two of them closer together.

Ye Yun naturally sensed the deeper meaning in her words and was momentarily stunned.

"Oh, well, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nangong Jiutian glanced at him and asked leisurely.

"Hey kid, what's the problem?"

Just then, Empress Yunxiao looked at him, cupped her hands, and said something.

"Elder Ye, then I'll have to trouble you."

This effectively blocked all avenues for Ye Yun to refuse.

Ye Yun felt a little helpless, but still agreed and smiled at him.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Seeing that he agreed, Empress Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction, feeling that she had not misjudged him.

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"By the way, has Fellow Daoist Nangong ever visited our Cloud Sky City?"

"If not, why don't you come with me? I'll give you a proper welcome."

After pondering for a moment, Nangong Jiutian decided to decline her kind invitation.

"Next time, after I finish dealing with this matter, I will find an opportunity to visit Fellow Daoist Yunxiao."

It wasn't that I didn't want to go, but the cultivation method offered by the immortal elder was just too tempting.

This is a cultivation technique from the upper realm; I've never seen it before in the first half of my life.

So now, all she wants is to find a place to do some serious research.

"Well... okay."
