Wait a minute, where is my master?

"Little Yu, why is this crab so red?"

"Do you recognize it?"

After the fountain spurted out a fiery red crab for the third time, Little White dashed forward to grab it and then curiously turned to Yu Yaoer.

Her subtext was basically asking whether the crab was edible or not.

"I don't know; it could be a unique species from the world connected by this spatial rift," Yu Yaoer shook her head and then blinked, adding, "But I didn't sense any toxins from it, so it should be edible after we cook it."

Upon hearing this, Husky's lips slightly curled up, and he made a dash, taking up a squatting position next to the fountain again.

Nearby,

Jin Xu felt something and looked up, first gazing into the distance.

It seemed as if a monstrous beast, ready to devour anything, was silently opening its maw in the endless darkness of the Chaos Space, waiting for its prey to come.

Then, he slightly raised his head again, looking in the direction where his few strands of Spiritual Sense now resided.

"Such a sudden change of location, and so far from the original, yet strangely closer to the Nine Provinces Realm. That should be the Four Symbols Great Thousand Realm over there.

It looks like the broken soul was summoned by their so-called master? However, her fate doesn't seem too good."

Jin Xu could sense that the woman's broken soul had already dissipated, and when he felt an external force infusing power into the broken soul, he decisively attached his Spiritual Sense to it.

So now, the marked location hasn't been lost yet.

"Hmm, first I'll send Master and the others back to the Nine Provinces, then I'll meet this person."

The young Taoist made up his mind, glanced at Little White, who was still catching crabs and even shrimps, called out to him, and prepared to block the fountain and return to the Nine Provinces Realm.

Otherwise, the sea resources of the Small Thousand Realm would be utterly wasted, flowing into the Chaos Void.

Meanwhile, Tianxing Taoist, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't resist asking in a low voice.

"Little Jin Xu, what Thunder Skill did you just use?"

"It was the Hand Palm Thunder that Master you taught me," Jin Xu answered with a smile, starting to sense the location of the Nine Provinces Realm in his heart.

"The Hand Palm Thunder that I taught you?"

Tianxing Taoist stroked his beard with his hand, muttering in surprise with his eyes wide.

Then he flipped his wrist, and a cluster of silver lightning that was neither very violent nor aggressive appeared in his palm.

"If your thing is Hand Palm Thunder, then what on earth is this magic of mine!?"

...

...

In the Nine Provinces Realm, within Shangjing City.

On the practice grounds.

The incarnation of the Ten-thousand-year-old Heart Calming Willow, appearing as one who had indulged in excessive pleasures, was lazily sitting beside the door of Xuanxu Temple, basking in the sun.

Beneath him was a rattan chair that looked quite ancient, and on a rustic square table next to him were various exquisite jade plates and bowls.

Some contained tonic dishes abundant in medicinal properties, and others were filled with cured meats of fierce beasts.

Even more exaggerated,

In the plate in the center lay nine neatly-arranged Thousand-year-old spiritual ginsengs, each as thick as an infant's arm.

A glance at this table full of dishes would make one feel their qi and blood surge; those with weaker constitutions might even get a nosebleed just by walking past and taking a deep breath.

"Eh~~~ Senior Liu, I've placed your brown sugar here. Later, you dip the Thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng in it, and it'll be a big tonic for sure!" a sycophantic voice rose from the practice grounds.

The source of the voice was a Bronze Gate floating in mid-air, cradling a jade bowl with its Spiritual Power.

"Hmm, just put it there," the Serenity Willow's incarnation answered lazily without even lifting an eyelid.

Elder Qin from the door didn't mind this attitude and carefully set down the bowl of brown sugar on the table. Then, he smoothly drifted to the incarnation's back, continuing obsequiously,

"Senior Liu, you have been basking here for quite a while; you must be tired. How about Little Qin massages your shoulders to ease the fatigue? Not to boast, but back in my day..."

"No need. Just stay in the southeast corner of the practice grounds, and I will call you if there's anything. I'm quite delicate right now, and with you flitting about, you might actually blow me sick."

The Bronze Gate hadn't finished speaking when it was interrupted by the lazy tone of the Serenity Willow's incarnation.

"Ah... eh, okay then. Call me if you need anything."

Elder Qin, surprised by the other's proneness to illness from the wind, first paused, then agreed amiably and drifted carefully towards the southeast corner of the practice grounds.

His actions were as if he feared creating even the slightest breeze that might actually make the incarnation turn sick.

After the Bronze Gate settled in the southeast corner for a few moments,

The Serenity Willow's incarnation finally opened one panda eye, sneakily glanced at the other, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Ah~~ I never thought I'd see the day when I could command the famous Door of Destiny of the Nine Provinces Realm. How times change."

One must understand, with their level of cultivation in the Nine Provinces Realm, it was easy to defeat an opponent. But to kill them or make them willingly submit, to the point of humbly serving another,

That was nigh impossible.

Furthermore, if the strengths of both sides weren't vastly different, even if one dared to serve, the other couldn't use them without worry.

How could you know whether the other party had genuinely submitted or was harboring a grudge, waiting for an opportunity to strike back.
