This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The magic array appeared, and Li Daoxuan disappeared from the top of the sea of ​​clouds.

Bai Susu held the cauldron in her hands, remaining silent for a long time.

I wonder when we will meet again after this goodbye?

"Sigh... Oh well, everyone has their own path. Just relax..."

Leaving behind a muttered remark, Bai Susu put away the Xuanhuang Cauldron and returned to her quiet room to begin nurturing her divine soul, which was noticeably empty after the beast soul was extracted.

On Qingming Island, Li Daoxuan's figure appeared.

Looking back, all I could see was the boundless Tianshui Marshland.

"This matter is settled. Before going into seclusion, there is only one last thing left..."

Li Daoxuan muttered to himself.

Mingyue, who had already emerged from seclusion, sensed Li Daoxuan's return and immediately came from her cave to the Ascension Platform.

"Master..."

Mingyue bowed slightly in greeting.

Li Daoxuan laughed and said:

"You've come at the right time. Come back with your master."

The bright moon did not understand.

"go back?"

He then immediately realized that what his master meant by "going back" must be returning to the Jingming Cave Heaven.

Following this line of thought, Mingyue came up with even more ideas.

I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Master, could it be...?"

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's time..."

The bright moon could not conceal the joy.

In the Xuanhuang Great World, every cultivation ground occupied by those ancient imperial clans is at least a grotto-heaven world.

Taking advantage of such favorable timing, firstly, the clan can be spared from enemy attacks, and secondly, there is a sacred place for cultivation and enlightenment, so the speed is naturally much faster than in the outside world.

Jingming Cave Heaven has begun to decline due to the depletion of its spiritual energy.

Later, because Li Daoxuan placed Yujing Mountain within the cave heaven, and with Lingxi transforming into a spiritual vein to nourish it, the trend of its continued decline was barely stopped.

But it would probably take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to return to its former glory.

Since Master wants to return to the grotto heaven, he must already have a way to completely transform the Jingming Grotto Heaven.

Thinking of this, Mingyue quickly said:

"Master, should we inform our fellow disciples to come back and witness this together?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head.

"There's no need to force it. Once the cave is renovated, they will naturally sense it and can come back whenever they want."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan lightly stomped his foot.

The runes on the nine stone pillars on the four sides of the Ascension Platform began to gradually emit light.

A void passage slowly took shape in the center of the ascension platform.

Upon witnessing this scene, Mingyue couldn't help but marvel once again.

Previously, when Master wanted to return to the cave, he could only do so through a projection of his primordial spirit.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, Master was able to open the reverse passage to the Jingming Cave Heaven.

There is only one possibility for Master to have such an ability: his current cultivation and strength have surpassed the limits of the rules of the Jingming Cave Heaven itself.

The rules of heaven and earth in the Jingming Cave Heaven could no longer restrain Master.

At the same time, in the Jade Capital Immortal Realm behind Qingxu Mountain in the Jingming Cave, the sky was like a deep pool of water suddenly stirred up into a huge whirlpool.

The winds and clouds surged, and within the vortex lay only a profound emptiness.

Chen Xun, who was stationed at Yujing Mountain, noticed something amiss and immediately came out of the Yujing Immortal Palace.

Yun Zhen, the current head of the Taoist sect who was interpreting fortune sticks for worshippers at Zixiao Palace on Qingxu Mountain, also sensed something amiss. He quickly bid farewell to the worshippers and flew to Taiyi Qingming Heaven.

Just like the one who sat quietly facing his sword on the peak, Zhen opened his eyes and his figure transformed into a streak of light, leaving the Jinghong Palace.

Seeing this, the only disciple, Wang Chaoxi, was stunned. He picked up his sword and chased after him, shouting:

"Master, where are you going?"

The sound echoed through the valley, but there was no response.

"They ran away again..."

Not only Yun Zhen and Zhen Huan, but all the second-generation direct disciples of the Jingming Cave Heaven Daoist Sect in the mountain gate sensed the abnormality and dropped what they were doing to set off for Taiyi Qingming Heaven.

In no time, the square in front of the Jade Capital Immortal Palace was filled with people.

Yun Zhen looked up at the huge vortex in the sky, her heart filled with doubt.

Seeing that Chen Xun and Ling tide had appeared, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Greetings, Sixth Martial Uncle and Seventh Martial Uncle."

Chen Xun and Ling tide ignored him completely, still looking up at the vortex without moving, their eyes filled with excitement.

Yunzhen gradually guessed some of the reasons and couldn't help but ask:

"My two senior uncles, could these be our masters who have ascended to the Xuanhuang realm?"

Chen Xun nodded and said:

"It's Master...it must be Master..."

Yun Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Xun's master, isn't that the ancestral master whom he has never met?

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen quickly went to the front of the group of disciples and whispered:

"Fellow disciples, please be quiet, straighten your attire, and prepare to perform the grand ceremony..."

After saying that, Yunzhen stood with his hands at his sides, looking solemn.

Seeing this, the others guessed what was going on and immediately suppressed their curiosity, standing respectfully in place.

Only Zhen Huan remained motionless, his hands still clasped around his sword in front of his chest, his head raised as he gazed at the sky.

Finally, there was movement in the sky.

Or rather, the entire sky above the Jingming Cave Heaven stirred.

Countless auspicious clouds appeared, the sky and earth were bright, and there seemed to be endless vitality.

In the void beneath that vortex, golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air.

The auspicious phantoms of dragons and phoenixes from the Jade Capital Celestial Palace soared up and circled around the golden lotus.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light descended from the vortex.

It landed right on a huge golden lotus.

In an instant, all the disciples in the square in front of the Jade Capital Immortal Palace felt an irresistible majesty.

This majesty is not a tangible force, but rather an instinctive sense of oppression originating from the depths of the soul.

Almost without hesitation, all the disciples knelt down.

But the world outside of Taiyi Qingming Heaven presents a completely different scene.

The entire Jingming Cave Heaven was shaking violently, as if it could not bear such terrifying pressure and was about to collapse.

Within a vast expanse of mountains and rivers, countless creatures gazed at the sky in bewilderment.

This is clearly a harbinger of the impending collapse of heaven and earth.

But the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky looked like an auspicious omen no matter how you looked at it.

At this moment, Mingyue, who had descended upon Jingming Winter in her true form along with Li Daoxuan, had a strange feeling.

It felt like forcibly stuffing her body into a narrow, cramped porcelain jar, and this jar was riddled with cracks.

Even if she just moves her hands and feet casually, she would probably break the entire porcelain jar.

This is not an illusion; it is indeed the case.

After Li Daoxuan and Mingyue arrived, their figures grew rapidly in an incredible way, becoming so large that they truly stood tall and could see all the mountains and rivers of the entire cave world at a glance.

Their cultivation levels have far exceeded the limits of the Jingming Cave Heaven, and this small world simply cannot withstand their existence.

"Certainly..."

Li Daoxuan spoke softly, as if a decree had been issued from the heavens.

The aura of the Great Dao permeated the entire small world.

In an instant, all the turmoil and instability subsided.

He and Mingyue also returned to normal.

A person stands on a golden lotus, slowly drifting down from the void.

Chen Xun and Ling tide were overjoyed at this sight, and knelt down to kowtow, excitedly saying:

"Disciple Qian Yuan (Ling tide) greets Master and Senior Sister..."
