Chapter 994: Meeting
The hall returned to silence.
The Lord of the Celestial Court silently gazed at the countless threads of fate that only he could see, and understood in his heart.
The flowers that were once planted have now borne fruit.
However, it remains to be seen whether the fruit is sweet or astringent.
But if a spark can ignite a prairie fire, all she has to do is quietly wait for that raging flame to burn everything in the myriad realms and bring out the true culprit.
Then, she can take her revenge.
……
Bai Feier was unaware that her fate was already in the hands of a higher being. All she wanted now was to see her old friends.
Even if she doesn't leave the Immortal Dao Civilization, she can at least go see the one closest to her.
Before long, Bai Feier stepped into the territory of Zixiao Heaven. A wind carrying a sharp spiritual energy rushed towards her. More than ten years ago, when she first came to Zixiao Heaven, she still remembered the journey to the Jade Emperor Palace.
Bai Feier quickly realized just how useful the identity of the God of Creation was.
She had heard that the generals of the Eternal Celestial Court could travel to the other five outer heavens of the immortal civilization without any checks or obstacles. It was no exaggeration to say that they could travel freely without any hindrance. But at this moment, facing the gazes of others, she could clearly sense their envy and apprehension.
His reputation was extremely high.
But this reputation is a bit too great.
She knew that most people in civilizations felt fear towards the Eternal Celestial Court. The magnificent palace complex of the Jade Emperor Palace hung high above the clouds, exuding an aura of power and vitality, as if all laws were vying for dominance.
When Bai Feier revealed the Creation God General Token, the guards from the Jade Emperor Palace responsible for receiving and patrolling immediately became respectful upon seeing the token, daring not to be negligent in the slightest. They quickly led the way for her, and she explained her purpose, arriving at the secluded courtyard where Qin Yiyao was without any hindrance.
The gate to the villa opened, and Qin Yiyao was sitting in the villa, carefully wiping a long, ice-blue sword in her hand. Bai Feier recognized the sword; it was forged for her personally by Young Master Gu.
Qin Yiyao cherished this sword more than her own life, even though the sword itself was more powerful than her...
But Bai Feier was certain that she had never seen Qin Yiyao draw this sword since her ascension.
It's a tragic story, really.
As a precaution, after their ascension, they stopped using anything related to Gu Heng—whether it be elixirs, magical treasures, or weapons—and simply kept it safe. This wasn't overly cautious, given that there are many ways to identify someone.
Sometimes, a mere ripple of power is enough to identify something, let alone something personally crafted or refined.
In other words, they had made all the preparations when they were in the lower realm of Origin, so even if they couldn't use Young Master Gu's precious treasures after coming up, they could still get by.
More than a decade had passed since they last met, but Qin Yiyao's figure remained unchanged. However, a greater sense of composure had settled in her expression. When she turned to look at Bai Feier, her eyes, unusually, rippled with emotion, and she paused in the act of wiping her sword.
Her eyes lit up instantly, filled with an incredulous surprise. She abruptly stood up and strode to the courtyard gate.
"Sister Fei'er?"
Qin Yiyao sized her up.
More than a decade has passed without leaving a trace on them; they remain exactly the same as they were back then. But they are not entirely unchanged.
At least, Bai Feier's sword intent was more restrained, but Qin Yiyao had no doubt that her strength might have surpassed her own.
Bai Feier smiled sincerely and stepped forward quickly. There was no need for much small talk; a single glance was enough to confirm that they were both well.
……
Inside the courtyard, the aroma of spiritual tea wafted through the air.
The two women sat facing each other, as if the past ten years had been gently wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving only the joy of reunion and the eagerness to share their recent situations.
For Qin Yiyao, meeting Bai Feier was indeed an unexpected surprise.
Qin Yiyao knew at least what was going on with the others, but after Bai Feier joined the Eternal Immortal Court, she was basically out of touch with anyone and there was no way to find out anything. If something really happened to her, she could only sigh helplessly.
"Time flies." Bai Feier took a sip of spiritual tea and sighed, "On the day of our ascension, we were new to the Upper Realm and everything we saw was novel and amazing. Now we each have our own place to stand."
"Are you doing well at the Jade Emperor Palace?"
"It's okay."
“Lord Lingxuzi has treated me well, and I have never lacked resources. My cultivation level... has also barely kept up.”
Qin Yiyao picked up her teacup, not mentioning how much of a stir her rapid rise had caused within the Jade Emperor Palace.
Anyone who has spent a long time with her master is like this, so Bai Feier must be the same.
However, the Eternal Celestial Court has never lacked geniuses, so adding her might not cause any significant disturbance.
"What about the rest?"
"Xiao Bai is doing very well in the Dragon Clan civilization. He occasionally sends messages, but the specifics are unclear. I tried to contact him before, but he didn't respond." "That female cat is wild and is also very successful in the Demon Clan Civilization Alliance."
"Old Tree in the Primordial Chaos may be the one among the five of us who is having the worst time, but at least he's not in danger of losing his life..."
Bai Feier felt somewhat relieved.
It's good that nothing major has happened to anyone.
She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and felt the warm spiritual energy flow down her throat, soothing her mind. Then she asked, "What about our home, the Origin Realm? Is there any news?"
Qin Yiyao smiled slightly, with a hint of certainty: "Don't worry, I have already designated my hometown, the Origin Realm, as my private territory through the channels of the Jade Emperor Palace. It is protected by the rules of the Immortal Dao civilization and no outsider can touch it."
"Your Bai family is also doing well." She paused, then added, "As for Sect Leader Jiang..."
Bai Feier's eyes dimmed slightly when she mentioned her former master. "She's doing well."
Qin Yiyao saw through her thoughts and said frankly, "Sect Leader Jiang and her Daoist partner are living in perfect harmony and enjoying a very comfortable life. According to the news from the Origin Realm, their cultivation has improved rapidly. It seems that they may be able to ascend within a hundred years."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feier felt much less guilty and anxious.
When she was about to ascend to the myriad realms, Jiang Lingyun knew that her disciple had always been very talented, and that after her ascension, someone would definitely notice her potential. Jiang Lingyun also knew that she was likely to be left far behind by her disciple.
In order to prevent her from being bound by the master-disciple relationship in the lower realm, Jiang Lingyun took the initiative to dissolve her master-disciple relationship with Bai Feier.
At the very least, Bai Feier was less burdened by her inner turmoil during the cruel trials of the Eternal Celestial Court.
“Before she ascended to immortality, she voluntarily severed her master-disciple relationship with me… I have always remembered this kindness,” Bai Feier sighed.
As a teacher, Xu Hong was not bad, and could even be said to be very good, but she was not quite used to it.
"Sect Leader Jiang is magnanimous and insightful. Her choice must be because she hopes you can focus on your studies and go further in the myriad realms." Qin Yiyao comforted her, "If she knew what you have achieved now, she would probably only be proud of you."
In terms of moral character and righteousness, Qin Yiyao had never seen a woman who did better than Jiang Lingyun.
But then again, her master had spoken highly of Jiang Lingyun, so how bad could he be?
After several rounds of tea, Qin Yiyao changed the subject and said solemnly, "You've come at the right time. I'm going on a long trip soon."
"Where?"
Bai Feier keenly noticed the change in Qin Yiyao's tone.
"The civilization of ten thousand dynasties." "I'm going there to study the path of dynastic karma, which will be helpful to my cultivation, but there's one more thing..."
Just as Qin Yiyao was about to explain further, a gentle yet undeniable aura appeared at the entrance of the villa.
She quickly stopped talking.
Ling Xuzi walked in slowly.
He still had that otherworldly air about him, holding a whisk and wearing a warm smile.
His gaze fell on Bai Feier, especially on the conspicuous divine general's token at her waist. A faint trace of wariness flashed deep in his pupils, but his smile remained unchanged.
"Hehe, honored guest, you have come from afar to my humble abode in the Purple Sun Tribe. This old Taoist has failed to greet you properly."

P.S.: I have another chapter on hand, but I'm not sure if I should save it for tomorrow and think about it for an hour first.
