One of my fairy-like friends

But the figure that stood in front of her left an indelible mark.

So from that time on, Yue Qingying paid attention to Ming Yan and was willing to get close to him from the bottom of her heart.

But as their relationship grew closer and better, the dream never stopped.

Mingyan's departure caused her increasingly deep pain.

Her previous closeness was only because Mingyan became her junior brother, but after that... came that lingering image of him.

As their relationship grew closer, Yue Qingying became more certain.

This innocent boy would truly stand in front of him.

Just like in a dream, we went without hesitation, without looking back.

But she didn't want it to be like this...

If the scenes in the dream were real, if one person was destined to die while the other could survive, then they should switch places, and she could die in front of her junior brother. Wouldn't that be fairer? She had experienced that kind of heartache countless times.

Why not let the junior brother experience it too?

Chapter Twenty-Three: United in Heart

The island is filled with spiritual energy, and it is spring-like all year round. The spiritual herbs planted on it dart about happily.

Did the scene my senior sister described foreshadow the future?

Mingyan pondered this question. If this were truly the future, then there seemed to be no hope whatsoever.

Empress Qingzi has fallen, her master has also perished, she herself will die, and her sister will wither away in front of her grave.

Dark Ages...

But is this the only possible future?

Mingyan did not think so.

Master said that even the Great Dao cannot determine what will definitely happen. They have accumulated rich experience in fighting the Dark Turmoil, a man-made disaster they have fought against eight times. Although this Dark Turmoil is obviously different, even if Senior Sister's dream is a possible future, it will not be the only future.

For the next period of time, Mingyan stayed in the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Holy Land.

He didn't interact much with Gu Hanshuang, and Gu Hanshuang rarely came over to chat, but she was always observing Ming Yan. This feeling wasn't very strong, which made Ming Yan a little uncomfortable, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Half a month later, Gu Hanshuang left Feng Lingyueying. It seemed that she had given up, so she left. Ming Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be entangled with this slightly evil female sword immortal. It was a good thing that she left in the end.

During this time, Mingyan inquired about the progress of the repair of the spatial laws and was told that the progress was very slow and it would probably take several months to repair.

The reason why the laws of space were damaged is still unknown, and it is unknown whether it is related to Empress Qingzi. Mingyan also asked Yue Wuxia about this.

"It's not uncommon for battles between Emperor-level powerhouses to affect the laws of space," Yue Wuxia explained. During the Dark Ages, it was common for Emperor-level powerhouses, or those at the half-step Extreme Dao stage, to fight against Emperor-level powerhouses from other realms. When they fought, the aftershocks alone could destroy a planet.

If it weren't for the dense array of supreme formations protecting Yao Guang Star, it might have been destroyed long ago.

However, battles between powerful beings in the ultimate realm often involve the laws of nature. In the dark turmoil of history, there have been instances where ultimate emperors fought against emperor-level beings among the invaders from other realms, resulting in the shattering of the laws of space.

"So, perhaps a great battle in the realm of the extreme realm took place without our knowledge," Yue Wuxia said. "There are too many variables in this world, and anything can happen. Fortunately, we still have Empress Qingzi. Moreover, once you reach Renying, your sister, the half-step extreme realm cultivator with rich experience in fighting against the dark turmoil, will also awaken. In my opinion, there is no need to be so pessimistic."

Mingyan remained silent for a moment before saying, "Master, I want to go out and gain experience. Cultivating in the Holy Land is too slow. I want to accumulate more practical experience."

From the moment Mingyan was born, he rarely fought against others.

Previously, I had fought against that person who seemed to be the "mother" for an unknown period of time using the "#" symbol, and I have grown very rapidly.

Mingyan wanted to see just how far he had grown, and also wanted to continue to explore the potential of the Human King Body. He could sense that the potential of this physical body had not yet been fully explored, and the strength of the Human King Body was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Yue Wuxia looked calmly at Ming Yan, "Do you have a destination in mind?"

“I have no destination in mind. I want to travel and seek opportunities.” Mingyan shook his head.

After a moment of silence, Yue Wuxia reached out and beckoned, and two jade pendants flew down from the immortal island and hovered in front of her.

One piece was cyan, and the other was dark blue, both radiating a faint glow, and one could sense the presence of imperial might.

An imperial artifact?!

The ancestors of Fengling Yueying Saint were Empress Yueying and Fengling Human King, who naturally left behind supreme imperial artifacts.

The two jade pendants fit together, their radiance soft and gentle, just like the former Moon Shadow Empress and Wind Spirit King.

The jade pendant is engraved with Dao patterns, as light as the wind and as subtle as the moon. They seem to be tangible yet intangible, possessing a beauty that is difficult to describe in words. They are Emperor-level laws, and even if one memorizes them, they will be quickly forgotten.

The two jade pendants that were stuck together were separated by Yue Wuxia, and the blue jade pendant flew to Ming Yan's front.

After the two jade pendants were separated, they lost their original luster and became dull, as if in sorrow...

"This supreme imperial artifact was crafted by the Empress and the Human King with their combined efforts. Both pieces are undoubtedly imperial artifacts, and when combined, they are even more powerful than other imperial artifacts. These two jade pendants are called the Yin-Yang Heart-to-Heart Pendants. The one in front of you is the Yang pendant, while the one in my hand is the Yin pendant."

Ming Yan was somewhat surprised. Both pieces were imperial artifacts. Wasn't this a bit unfair?

However, he had also heard that the Wind Spirit King had the potential to become an emperor, but the Great Dao only allowed one Supreme Being to exist, so there was nothing he could do.

But without a doubt, the Wind Spirit King back then was definitely a super strong person who was half-step into the ultimate path, or even possibly had achieved the Dao in an alternative way. With the existence of the Moon Shadow Empress, it would not be difficult for the two of them to create an imperial artifact. After all, they had managed to elevate the Wind Spirit Scripture to the level of an imperial scripture.

Although the Wind Spirit Scripture is extremely powerful, it has not yet achieved enlightenment and is just one step away from being fully realized. Don't underestimate that last step; if the Wind Spirit King becomes an emperor, the Wind Spirit Scripture will definitely be much stronger than it is now.

"Actually, the two pieces being joined together is not the most powerful state of these two supreme imperial artifacts." Yue Wuxia sighed softly. "In the past, the Holy Land of Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, the Holy Masters of the two academies were mostly Daoist couples. If their hearts were in sync, each of them would hold a jade pendant, and these two imperial artifacts would probably be the strongest imperial artifacts in the world. The Moon Shadow Empress and the Wind Spirit Human King, the two ancestors, were both exceptionally talented. If it weren't for the suppression of the Great Dao, both of them should have become emperors."

"Master, do you intend to give me this cyan jade pendant?"

"This is the essence of the sacred land; you must keep it safe and never lose it." Yue Wuxia nodded gently. "Try holding the jade pendant in your hand."

Mingyan shook his head. "This is an ultimate imperial artifact, Master. What if I encounter any danger and lose it..."

"I'm giving it to you to prevent you from being threatened by those who fear your growth, or by those whose cultivation levels far exceed yours and whom you simply cannot handle. In a critical moment, it can save your life." Yue Wuxia frowned slightly. "If you don't accept it, I won't allow you to leave alone."

"Master..." Mingyan was deeply moved, but this item was far too important...

“Hold it in your hand,” Yue Wuxia said. “I will not allow you to refuse.”

"..." Seeing Yue Wuxia's tightly furrowed brows, Ming Yan could only reach out and grasp the blue jade pendant.

This is from the same source as the "Wind Spirit Scripture" that Mingyan cultivates, so the moment Mingyan grasped it, he felt a sense of affinity. It liked him and certainly wouldn't resist him.

"Close your eyes and feel it carefully," Yue Wuxia continued.

Mingyan nodded, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed it.

Ok?

Hadn't he closed his eyes? Why could he still see his master in front of him? No, it seemed he could still move his perspective, up, down, left, and right... Mingyan opened his eyes, somewhat surprised, "Master, could it be that I can see you just because I'm holding this jade pendant?"

“Similarly, I can see you too, and not just see you. We can communicate through the Yin-Yang Heart-to-Heart Pendant, so if you encounter danger, you can ask me for help. Also, if there's anything you don't understand about cultivation, you can ask me... although you've never asked me.” Yue Wuxia's eyes softened a little, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She was actually quite satisfied with this. Mingyan's talent was too good; he could learn most things very quickly and comprehend them extremely fast.

"How far is it?" Mingyan asked, somewhat concerned about the question.

“As long as you are still on Yaoguang Star, anywhere is fine. Even if you accidentally enter a forbidden zone of life, the laws of the extreme path will still be affected.” Yue Wuxia said, “The laws of the extreme path are parallel to the Great Dao in a certain sense, and are basically not affected by other things.”

Yue Wuxia had one more thing she didn't say: if the people who share the Yin-Yang Heart-to-Heart Pendant are Daoist partners and can reach the state of perfect harmony, then this jade pendant has an incredibly powerful function—it can directly teleport them to each other's side...

However, Yue Wuxia and Ming Yan are master and disciple, so it is impossible for them to be of one mind as Daoist partners.

Therefore, Yue Wuxia believed that Yue Qingying was the most suitable partner for Mingyan. If the two of them got together and became of one mind, she would give them the imperial artifacts, the Wind Spirit Scripture, the Moon Shadow Scripture, and this Heart-to-Heart Pendant. The two of them would be absolutely invincible.

Unfortunately, neither of them was interested.

Yue Wuxia didn't witness Yue Qingying and Mingyan kissing that day; otherwise, she might have changed her mind...

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Flawless Heart

The cyan jade pendant floated in Mingyan's dantian, while the Yuanjing, which was originally floating in that position, was pushed aside, trembling and not daring to approach.

Although this Yuanjing is also a King-level artifact, the ultimate path belongs to a completely different level and cannot be compared at all.

However, the symbols “?” and “#” remained unaffected, maintaining the same height as the cyan jade pendant.

These two symbols were left by the "Mother," representing the past and the future; both are temporal in nature and can be considered parallel to the Imperial Vessels...

Just how powerful is a "mother"?

Mingyan arrived and found Yue Qingying, informing her of his desire to go out and gain experience.

Without any hesitation, Yue Qingying said, "Wait for me, I'll go with you."

"No need, Senior Sister, I plan to go alone. If you also leave Master's side, there will be some inconveniences," Mingyan said with a smile.

Yue Qingying is not only the Holy Master of Yueying, but also the representative of Yue Wuxia. Many times, Yue Wuxia needs Yue Qingying to do things for her and take her senior sister with her. Master must be quite troubled by this.

"I'm worried about you traveling alone." Yue Qingying frowned, her eyes filled with concern. "The large teleportation portal is unusable right now. What if you encounter any danger?"

"Senior sister, don't worry, Master has given me the ability to protect myself." Ming Yan now has a general idea of ​​his destination.

He wanted to go to the mortal dynasty where his master was born to see and find out about his master's past.

He wanted to learn more about his master.

Mingyan did not hide this from Yue Wuxia, and Yue Wuxia also told him the address.

It's not too far from Fenglingyueying. Using a short-distance teleportation array, it will take about two or three days, which isn't long.

Yue Qingying pursed her lips. "Master, you agree too?"

“Hmm.” Mingyan nodded. “Senior sister, although large teleportation portals can’t be used, we can use small teleportation arrays now. It’s not as inconvenient as you might think.”

"Well... okay, be careful." Yue Qingying pulled Mingyan to his room, then put her arm around his shoulder, leaned in, and kissed his lips.

Mingyan didn't object. As long as they were close, it was fine to do it. It was a way to express their intimacy, and Mingyan liked it and enjoyed it.

Mingyan slowly embraced Yue Qingying, feeling his senior sister's sweet tongue...

Their breathing gradually quickened, and they kissed for an unknown amount of time—perhaps the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or perhaps the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

Yue Qingying raised her head, licked her lips with her tongue, and blushed. "Take care on your journey... Junior Brother."

"Hmm..." Mingyan nodded. He was a little reluctant to leave. His senior sister's lips were soft, sweet, and fragrant, and her little tongue also had a sweet taste. He was somewhat addicted to it.

But he still needs to go out and gain experience...

Yue Qingying pursed her lips, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if the words were on the tip of her tongue but she stopped herself. After several attempts, she finally spoke, "Junior brother..."

"Just say it, Senior Sister, there's no need to feel embarrassed." Seeing Yue Qingying's hesitant look, Mingyan comforted her, "I won't be angry with you."

With such a kind senior sister, how could Mingyan bear to be harsh with her?

"Junior brother, if I said I wanted to be your Daoist partner, what would you think?"
