Wait a minute, where is my master?

"Senior Chi, since sending the marked object won't work, let's try a different method,"

With a plan in mind, Jin Xu lifted his head and spoke to the ancestor of the Immortal Palace.

Then, he turned his face towards the pale golden light cluster and said,

"Little Jin, since that strange small world is now closely clinging to the side of the Nine Provinces Realm, you should be clear about its location, right?"

"Cle...ar."

The protective Heavenly Dao rules emitted strange fluctuations, impressing the two words into the young Taoist's mind.

"That settles it,"

Seeing that the other party was clear, Jin Xu's lips slightly curled up in a smile. He walked over to the group of spatial channels arranged in sequence at the training ground and then continued,

"I will directly choose a small world to break into, then enter the Chaos Space and travel along the space barrier outside the Nine Provinces Realm. At that time, Little Jin, you just need to give me a slight indication of the direction."

As for whatever wind barriers, chaotic currents, or mysterious cracks that might exist in the Chaos Space,

The young Taoist was confident that his golden spiritual power shield could withstand them.

And for those perilous and enigmatic places found in the Chaos Space, since Jin Xu was traveling along the exterior of the Nine Provinces Realm, he was certain there would be no chance of encountering them this time.

"Taoist, your method is ingenious. But I am afraid that within the Nine Provinces Realm, you are probably the only one who can use such a straightforward and brutal approach,"

Said Senior Chi, praising Jin Xu's solution with a sense of admiration in his tone.

The young Taoist also didn't plan to stay any longer.

He turned back to the other side of the training ground, where two women were training an elephant, and called out to them,

"Little Yu, Little White, stop training Little Zi for now. Come, let's go and bring Master back home."

The husky, upon hearing that they were going to pick up the 'big brother' of their temple master, immediately grabbed Yu Yaoer, lifted the Little Purple Spirit Elephant onto his shoulders, and leaped across to the other side of the training ground.

"Temple master, do you have a lead on the... Elder Master's whereabouts?"

"Yes, in a strange small world. You two get ready; we'll be leaving shortly. Also, Little White, hurry and get Little Zi down from your shoulder,"

After instructing the husky to put the elephant down,

The young Taoist fiddled with the glazed book page he had been holding the whole time and pondered for a moment, then strode to the front of Xuanxu Temple's gate.

"Senior Guan Ling, I almost forgot, I'll leave this fellow to you,"

Saying so, Jin Xu took out Elder Qin of the Bronze Gate, who had initially been scared stiff and later thought he'd been forgotten, from his storage bracelet and placed him before the Ten-thousand-year-old Heart Calming Willow's incarnation.

"When I returned to the temple before, I saw your branches twisted together with it, so I guessed your slumber must be related to this gate. Now that you're in a weakened state and I'm off to an unknown small world without knowing when I'll be back, you should have someone to take care of you.

"Fortunately, let Elder Qin of the door take on this task. If you need anything, just order him around,"

After saying this, without waiting for a response from the Ten-thousand-year-old Heart Calming Willow, he lifted his hand and knocked twice on the Bronze Gate's ring,

"From now on, you'll be at the service of Senior Guan Ling. Elder Qin, at your age, you should know better, and I hope you'll behave properly.

"Otherwise... I've heard that in Shangjing City, the public Five Grains Reincarnation facility seems to be missing a big door,"

Jin Xu said it was to let the Bronze Gate take care of Guan Ling, but in reality, he wanted the Ten-thousand-year-old Heart Calming Willow to have an opportunity to vent properly.

"Ah, temple master, I still want to serve you..."

The Bronze Gate, upon hearing it was to be arranged to be put to use by the Ten-thousand-year-old Heart Calming Willow, subconsciously wanted to evade, but it spoke only halfway before it noticed the change in the Taoist's gaze and immediately corrected itself.

"Serving your Xuanxu Temple's Guan Ling wouldn't be bad either. Cough, Little... no, wrong, Taoist Li, if you have any orders in the future, just speak them, and Elder Qin will surely carry them out obediently. Eh, Taoist Li, though your Divine Soul injury has healed, how come your body has become so weak?"

"Just right, Elder Qin knows of an ancient remedy that has been passed down through the ages, a dietary method to nourish through food. I will have the servants in the mansion prepare it for you shortly."

The copper knocker on Elder Qin's door kept shaking, and the two door panels also revealed sycophantic expressions as they started to warmly greet the incarnation of the Big Willow Tree."

Jin Xu couldn't help but find it a bit funny to see how quickly the other party had gotten into character.

Then, he raised his hand and sent a strand of golden spiritual power into the Bronze Gate. Although the little Taoist was confident that since Elder Qin had seen his strength, he would certainly not dare to go back on his word.

Still, it was always better to be safe, so Jin Xu left a strand of golden spiritual power mark within the other party's body.

"Senior Chi, this object belongs to Senior Yan, please return it to him on my behalf later. Oh, and you also need to convey a message to him. Tell him that although he no longer possesses the treasure for Crossing Heart Demon Tribulation, from now on, he could allow others to cross Heart Demon Tribulation at any time and any place."

"Ah? Okay, I've got it."

The Ancestor of the Immortal Palace looked a bit bewildered as he took the Glazed Book Page, although he didn't quite understand what had happened, he would still attend to the matters entrusted by Jin Xu.

"Oh, right, one more thing. Please also tell Senior Yan that when I return, I will visit Grandma Yu to ask for a few Heart-Cleansing Ice Soul Pills for him."

After the little Taoist finished speaking, he reminded the pale gold orb once more.

Then, he muttered, 'I wonder if Mr. Mei was caught by Senior Yan and the others,' and walked over to where the two women and the elephant were, wrapped everyone in spiritual power, and plunged into the space channel that led to the Spirit Realm."

After a very brief moment.

Jin Xu and the party once again set foot in the Spirit Realm.

But this time he did not stay for too long, instead, he punched directly towards the outside of the Golden Spiritual Power Shield.

"Buzz!"

"Boom!"

The space first trembled, followed by a thunderous rumble.

The little Taoist looked at the spatial rift he had punched open, extended his Spiritual Sense into it, and confirmed that the other side was Chaos Space, he then maneuvered the Golden Spiritual Power Shield and dove into it.

A moment later.

Jin Xu and others successfully arrived in Chaos Space.

All that met his eyes was a hazy expanse of gray. Only the membrane representing the barriers of the Spirit Realm Space shone with a bright light nearby.

"It's like a thick fog has descended."

Little White, too, making its first visit to Chaos Space, lay beside the Spiritual Power Shield, curiously looking around at the grayish surroundings.

But the next instant, an inexplicable cold, harsh wind seemed to traverse the spatial distance.

With a thud, it forcefully struck against the Golden Spiritual Power Light Shield, right where Little White's face had been pressed against it.

"Whoa, that startled me!"

The Spiritual Power Shield was unaffected, but Little White was clearly startled by the suddenness of the harsh wind.

Seeing this, Jin Xu patted its head and cautioned the two women and the elephant not to move about heedlessly, then spoke out loud.

"Little Jin."
