Wait a minute, where is my master?

In that brief exchange, the two women introduced their backgrounds to Tianxing Taoist, while Little Zi's story was relayed by Shiqi.

During this introduction, some incredibly "shocking" information was inevitably brought up.

For instance, Yu Yaoer was the granddaughter of the Shui Clan Elder; for example, Jin Xu had slain the Demon Lord, who had been sealed in the Nine Provinces for a thousand years, to avenge Little Purple Spirit Elephant.

"By the way, you mentioned earlier when proving your identity about the White Emperor Pavilion and the matter of the Nine Provinces Sea Eye, quickly tell me all about it," the Tianxing Taoist continued inquiring through a private spiritual message.

He vaguely felt that during his absence, he had missed out on a lot of extraordinary events in the Nine Provinces.

While the Taoist transmitted messages in secret,

Little White was somewhat curious and asked Jin Xu,

"Temple master, why did you so easily let the Ink Jade Sect go? This thing … "

Shiqi meant to say that it didn't seem like the usual way their temple master handled things. However, being a Snow Wolf with a limited understanding of culture,

she couldn't think of the word right away.

"Master, a lot indeed happened in the Nine Provinces Realm during your absence. However, this is not the place to speak of it, and it's too much to clarify in a few words. I would prefer to explain everything in detail once we go back," the young Taoist spoke gently to the Tianxing Taoist, then turned his head to Shiqi who was still searching for the word.

"Little White, you mean to say it doesn't match my usual way of handling things, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly the word I was looking for, temple master!"

...I will definitely find you a private tutor when we get back.

Jin Xu silently complained in his mind, then looked up into the distance and said, "I let her go so easily because I intended to catch everything in one fell swoop."

At this moment, he could clearly sense that the sliver of Spiritual Sense he had left in the opponent's Divine Soul had stopped in a very distant place after traveling a great distance twice and had merged into a more formidable Divine Soul.

"Catch everything in one fell swoop? Temple master, are you saying there's a mastermind behind the Ink Jade Sect?"

"Yes."

Jin Xu nodded and, as a wave of Golden Spiritual Power spread from beneath his feet enveloping everyone, he closed his eyes.

A moment later, he abruptly opened his eyes and heavily punched towards the void.

Instantly, a vast space portal was 'opened' on the spot.

"Let's go, I want to see what sort of thing is behind this person."

Before the sound of his voice faded, he stepped into the space portal with the two women and the elephant.

...

...

A little while before.

The woman from the Ink Jade Sect, wearing a golden silk feather robe, managed to navigate the Ink Jade Sect out of a strange Small World.

She followed a special path through the Chaos Space to cross through space once more.

After ensuring they were in a safe location,

she, who had been laying on the stone couch, now murmured to herself,

"The bait has been cast out; it's just uncertain whether the fish will bite. But...never mind, it's not for a mere fragment of my soul to worry about; it's better to inform the main body about this."

As she finished speaking, a flash of light appeared at her brow.

Then, her previously dangling snowy white feet suddenly slammed down hard onto the stone couch.

...

Within the endless Chaos Space.

A stone, seemingly ordinary and only the size of a fist, was mixed within a vast belt of floating stones scattered across the Chaos Space.

Although this fist-sized rock appeared unremarkable, it concealed a world of its own inside.

Inside the stone.

A square hall, with each side measuring six thousand feet, had existed here since time immemorial.

The hall was vast, with floors, walls, and ceilings all made of gold, but aside from a stone couch and a set of stone tables and chairs, there were no other decorations.

In the southeast corner of the hall, a collection of about a hundred naked human bodies was carelessly scattered.

Upon closer inspection, all the faces were identical to the one from the Ink Jade Sect.

Exactly the same!

At that moment, within this empty hall, rustling sounds echoed repeatedly.

Following the sound, a woman, also clad in a golden silk feather robe, with flowing long hair and a graceful silhouette, was sitting before the stone table, leaning over and writing something with a pen.

Clearly, those rustling sounds stemmed from her pen.

The woman wrote at an incredibly fast pace.

On the table, the extremely thin booklet was swiftly filled with densely packed tiny characters in just a moment's time.

However, magically, whenever the page was filled, the woman would gently wave her hand and a page that appeared incredibly ethereal would automatically turn.

Subsequently, the densely packed characters on the booklet would disappear.

It was evident that this object also contained the essence of spatial magic.

"Clang!"

The woman with the graceful silhouette had just filled another page when she suddenly slammed the pen down hard on the stone table and abruptly stood up from the chair.

"A Taoist with unknown cultivation! His moves, and even this aura, why does it feel so familiar… I remember the place where this separated soul resides is attached to a Small Thousand World called the Nine Provinces Realm?"

"Hiss, it's just a separated soul after all, yet it laid down such a simple bait.

"I need to personally… No, I need to stay and guard the master's items…"

After standing up, the woman in the golden silk feather robe began to mutter to herself chaotically.

Apparently, the information brought back by the separated soul had greatly agitated her.

After a while, still muttering under her breath, she suddenly sat back down on the stone chair, snatched up the pen she had thrown down, and hurriedly recorded the information brought by the separated soul in the booklet.

Then, after filling another page, she abruptly grabbed the booklet on the table and leaned back.

Her body and the stone chair beneath her bizarrely appeared in front of those hundred or so carelessly scattered naked bodies in the southeast corner of the hall.

"Need to verify it again…No... I need to recall some of those dispersed Divine Souls first; otherwise, the response is too sluggish."

The woman lowered her head slightly, her long hair loosely scattered, completely concealing her face.

After muttering to herself, she seemed to have made a certain decision.

She then carefully placed the booklet on her lap, preparing to call back some of the separated souls scattered throughout the Chaos Space.

However, just as the woman in the golden silk feather robe was about to execute her spell, her inner power had not yet had the chance to activate.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" resounded by her side!

She slightly stiffly turned her neck, only to see that at the northwest corner of the hall, the splendid golden roof had been broken open by a large hole.

And the Taoist she had just seen in that glimpse of the separated soul's memory.

Had startlingly appeared before her eyes!
