"this……"

Ye Yun paused, seemingly considering whether to keep it a secret.

On second thought, if it really needed to be kept secret, Nangong Jiutian should have brought it up in his mind long ago.

Fortunately, Ye Yun nodded frankly.

"It was indeed mentioned above that after I advanced to the peak of the Imperial Path, I went to the barrier of the Black Abyss to meet her."

"The Black Abyss Barrier?"

Hong Xian'er seemed to be deep in thought, and asked a question.

"You mean the place where those empresses reside?"

Ye Yun answered affirmatively.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's there."

After all, apart from this place, he and Nangong Jiutian had no other familiar places in the Black Abyss.

After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to add a reminder.

"I'm telling you, Xian'er, don't send anyone to look for her rashly."

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at his reminder.

Do I look like a brainless person?

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun chuckled in agreement.

"Of course not, my Xian'er is naturally the smartest person."

"Since you know that, what are you worried about?"

Hong Xian'er shrugged her fragrant shoulders and explained to them.


"That's good."

Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er looked him over and asked.

"I'm curious, why did Senior Nangong insist on inviting you to the peak of the Imperial Path?"

"Could it be that you're planning to help you break through to the Emperor rank at that time?"

Ye Yun immediately rejected this explanation and shook his head.

"How is this possible? Breaking through to the Emperor rank is probably not something that can be achieved with external help."

That's what he said, but he really couldn't figure out what reason the other party could have to contact him.

At this moment, Hong Xian'er waved her hand and did not continue to ask questions.

"Oh well, we'll find out when the time comes."

"Yes...that's true."

Ye Yun didn't take this matter too seriously.

Given her personality, she probably wants me to reach the peak of the Imperial Path so she can help me with something.

Just then, Hong Xian'er glanced at him.

"Alright, you go and regulate your breathing to stabilize your realm. I'll go back and get busy now."

Hong Xian'er came here to congratulate Ye Yun on his success.

Now that the agreement has been reached, it's time to get back to official business in the Holy Land.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun sighed.

"You seem to have become even busier since you became the Holy Lord."

"That's normal; after all, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility."

Hong Xian'er didn't think there was anything wrong with it and smiled.

Without a doubt, she truly is a chosen saint.

Just this sense of responsibility alone is something Ye Yun can't compare to.

That's why they're so capable of being a holy ruler!

Ye Yun sighed softly.

"Alright, but if you have time, you should still come visit Creation Peak more often."

Hong Xian'er glanced at him and teased him.

"Why do I sense a hint of resentment in your words?"

In her eyes, Ye Yun was like a resentful young wife.

I should be the one looking like this, right?

Meanwhile, Kuroko and the others stared at each other, looking like they were watching a melon seed.

Clearly, they rarely saw Ye Yun like this.

"Of course."

Ye Yun spread his hands and sighed softly.

"It's because my wife is too busy and doesn't have much time to spend with me."

"It makes me feel like I'm all alone."

He thought of that guy, busy, it's good that he's busy.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him.

Then, she pointed to the nearby Kurohime and the others.

"You have the nerve to say you're all alone?"

"Whose people are these young girls?"

This sentence left Ye Yun speechless.

He looked a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.

"Well... they're not my Daoist partners."

"It's not like I can't be with you."

Hong Xian'er raised her eyebrows slightly and made a comment.

After that, she paused for a moment, as if considering something.

"But then again, I might be free for a while after some time."

"I'll spend some quality time with you then."

Now, due to the matter of the Ascension Sect and the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, which has only recently been settled.

In addition, the matter of the blood-red monster has not been fully resolved.

That's why she, as the Holy Lord, is so busy all the time.

Once these major issues are resolved, she'll be able to relax a bit and even take a vacation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

When that time comes, he will be able to play with Xian'er every day. Just thinking about it makes him a little excited.

Kurohime and the others watched and listened to the conversation between the two, their expressions somewhat subtle.

In short, I'm full.

Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er's flirtatious banter made them feel completely superfluous.

So much so that when Hong Xian'er finally left...

Ye Yun was also teased by Hei Tong.

"Oh my, Master, I didn't know you had this side to you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun shrugged.

"What 'this side'? Which side?"

Black Eyes smiled slightly, teasingly.

"Of course, it's like the side of a resentful young wife."

These words struck Ye Yun right to the heart.

Slightly annoyed, Ye Yun glared at Hei Tong and tapped him on the head.

"You little rascal, you know quite a lot. Go back to your cultivation!"

With her hands covering the top of her head, Kuroko looked incredibly cute.

I just want to bully them a lot.

Black Eyes stuck out his tongue in response to Ye Yun's words.

"Okay, okay, Master is so mean!"

After Kuroko left, the others also offered their congratulations and then went out.

As for Ye Yun, he obediently returned to the cultivation room to continue stabilizing his cultivation realm.

In the blink of an eye, today has passed.

Ye Yun only went out after he had completely stabilized his Imperial Dao realm.

Even though several days have passed, there are still quite a few elders waiting outside Creation Peak to celebrate Ye Yun's success.

It's easy to imagine that many people came to celebrate when Ye Yun was promoted to Dao Construction last time.

Not to mention now that Ye Yun has advanced to the Imperial Dao Realm, his influence and status in the Holy Land have been further enhanced.

He had barely left the palace when people came to the peak of Creation to congratulate him.

"Elder Ye! You've finally emerged from seclusion! Congratulations on breaking through to the Imperial Dao Realm! This is a small gift from me!"

"This junior greets Elder Ye. I come from the Department of Affairs, on behalf of the Department Master, to present a small gift to you!"

"And I, a junior, have come to congratulate you on breaking through to the Imperial Dao Realm. This is a gift I have prepared!"

"..."

Compared to the last time when he broke through to the Dao Building realm.

After advancing to the Imperial Realm, the number of people coming to give gifts has increased significantly.

They send all sorts of gifts, such as elixirs, magical artifacts, talismans, and even maids.

The reason for this difference is quite simple.

Reaching the Dao Foundation realm is equivalent to obtaining an admission ticket to the top circle of the Holy Land, but there are quite a few people at the same level.

The Imperial Realm is different; it belongs to the very top of the top, the pinnacle of the sacred pyramid.

At this level, as long as one doesn't have any fundamental problems, one can almost disregard everyone else's feelings.

There's no way around it; as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.

Ye Yun had no choice but to receive them all, but eventually he couldn't take it anymore and made an excuse to leave.

As for those who came to visit or bring gifts, they were all handled by Xu Qingyan.

Ye Yun then strolled around the holy land for a while, taking a break.

When we return to Creation Peak later...

A woman's voice immediately came to his ear.

"Elder Ye! You're finally back!"

Ye Yun had just returned to his palace when Mo Ruyan came looking for him.

Upon seeing that it was her, Ye Yun sized her up and asked with a smile.

"Ruyan, how have you been staying at Creation Peak these past few days?"

Since clearing her name last time, Mo Ruyan has often cultivated at Creation Peak.

Even when they went out, they would only go to the Heavenly Prison to keep Qing Shi company while he was being suppressed there.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruyan nodded.

"I'm not having any trouble adjusting; everyone is taking good care of me."

To be honest, as a guilty person...

Sometimes she feels that she doesn't deserve this wonderful new life.

You'll get used to it.

Ye Yun hadn't thought that much about it.

Seeing Mo Ruyan's expression, she asked with some confusion.

"Speaking of which, Ruyan, you called me here because there's something you need?"

At this moment, Mo Ruyan looked like she had something to say.

However, due to certain reasons, it is not convenient to say it out loud.

Seeing that Ye Yun had spoken first, Mo Ruyan hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, she took a deep breath and said.

"Elder Ye, I've come to thank you."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would already be..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Yun raised his hand to interrupt her.

"There's no need to say that."

He shook his head and looked at Mo Ruyan with a light smile.

"This is how I repay Ruyan for saving my life."

Previously, if it weren't for Mo Ruyan's intervention, Qing Shi would probably have killed him several times.

Although the matter originated from her, in reality, she also helped him.

Mo Ruyan didn't seem to mind and shook her head.

"I... I didn't really do anything."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and did not continue the conversation.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked.

"By the way, how is things going with Senior Qing Shi?"

"You seem to be seeing her quite often lately, so you should know quite a bit about her, right?"

To be honest, the Heavenly Prison, being a sacred place where the most heinous criminals are imprisoned, is not a place that just anyone can enter.

Mo Ruyan not only went there often, but each time she stayed there for quite a while.

As for what he did, it was nothing more than talking to Qingshi and chatting about life.

Driven by their desire to guide Qing Shi toward good, they tacitly approved of Mo Ruyan's visit.

Now, he's quite curious about what Qing Shi will look like.

"Xiao Shi...she's been reading lately."

Mo Ruyan thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"Reading? What kind of books?"

This answer piqued Ye Yun's interest.

When did Qing Shi, with her personality, become interested in books again?

At the same time, he was even more curious about what kind of book would make Qing Shi so engrossed in it.

"It's nothing much, just some...historical records of our ancient sacred road."

Mo Ruyan pondered for a moment, then added another sentence.

"She offered to borrow it for her."

Of course, this was only done with Hong Xian'er's permission before I took the books over to her to look at...
