After Changing to the Ruthless Way, the Brothers Cried and Begged for Forgiveness Chapter 440: Could It Be That You Are Little Ice Block’s Dau

“What, what, what?! Who did you say you are?”

The white-bearded elder’s eyes widened in shock, and he almost flung the dagger in his hand out of sheer surprise.

“This junior is a disciple of the Five Elents Dao Sect. Here is my identity token.”

Yu Zhao introduced herself while retrieving a token from her storage space to prove her identity.

Upon seeing the token, Ancestor Sui Bian hooked his fingers and snatched it away in an instant.

As he ran his fingers over the engraved patterns of the token, his eyes welled up with tears in an instant.

“The Five Elents Dao Sect… It really is the Five Elents Dao Sect’s disciple…”

His voice choked with emotion, like a long-lost traveler finally receiving news from his holand after many years away.

“Wuuu wuuu wuuu! The Five Elents Dao Sect! It’s really the Five Elents Dao Sect!”

The more Ancestor Sui Bian cried, the more emotional he beca. Tears and snot poured down his face as his loud wails echoed like a great bell.

Yu Zhao’s heart instantly tensed. She hastily looked around to ensure no one was nearby before stepping forward and whispering urgently, “Ancestor, lower your voice.”

Ancestor Sui Bian looked up at her, wanting to cry even harder, but he forced himself to suppress it.

“You… hic!”

“Ancestor, this isn’t the place to talk. We should find a secluded location before we discuss matters further.”

“Alright, hic! Follow .”

Still sniffling, Ancestor Sui Bian led the way, occasionally wiping away his tears. Watching him, Yu Zhao found it both amusing and heart-wrenching.

He had ascended for over a thousand years, and his longing was sothing few could understand. But as soone who had also left behind the Cultivation World, she could empathize with his feelings.

True to his experience, Ancestor Sui Bian was highly familiar with the area and quickly found an abandoned cave abode where they could converse in private.

The mont they stepped inside, Ancestor Sui Bian could no longer contain himself and bombarded her with questions, “When did you ascend? Which planet did you ascend from? Aside from you, has anyone else ascended?”

He fired off several questions in rapid succession.

Yu Zhao answered one by one, “I didn’t ascend. I ca through…”

“What? You didn’t ascend? Then how did you get here? Are you impersonating a Five Elents Dao Sect disciple to deceive an old man?!”

Ancestor Sui Bian instantly flared up at her words.

Unlike traveling from the dium Thousand World to the Great Thousand World, where alternative thods might exist, the only way for cultivators from the Cultivation World to reach the dium Thousand World was through ascension.

Doubt surfaced in his mind, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him without warning.

Yu Zhao’s breath hitched, her face turning red as she struggled to speak, “It’s the… the Ancient Dao Field.”

“Ancient Dao Field?”

Ancestor Sui Bian froze. mories of the legends surrounding the Ancient Dao Field surfaced in his mind. He was about to ask more when he noticed Yu Zhao gasping for breath. Hastily, he withdrew his oppressive aura and sheepishly said, “Ah, my bad, my bad. Little Yu Zhao, are you alright?”

Yu Zhao waved a hand dismissively, taking a mont to recover before clearing her throat and asking, “Ancestor, have you encountered soone falsely claiming to be a Five Elents Dao Sect disciple before?”

Ancestor Sui Bian sighed, “Indeed. So heard of my search for Five Elents Dao Sect news and tried to deceive with false identities. But I saw through their lies, and they failed.”

Yu Zhao detected an unspoken bitterness in his tone.

He had not been deceived, but the repeated disappointnts must have been painful.

“Enough about . Let’s get back to your story. The Ancient Dao Field has not opened for years. How did you enter?”

Yu Zhao explained how the Heavenly Ladder had fractured, making ascension impossible for years. With no alternative, they had placed their hopes in the Ancient Dao Field. She recounted how she entered, gained the favor of Dao Lord Tai Wei, and through a twist of fate, ended up in the dium Thousand World.

Ancestor Sui Bian was stunned by her tale, his emotions rising and falling with each revelation.

When he heard that Yu Zhao had recognized him at the Divine Tree Star Pier from the ancestral portrait in the Five Elents Dao Sect’s Ancestral Spirit Pavilion, he slapped his thigh in realization.

“Aiya! I did feel like soone was watching ! I thought it was an old enemy, so I ran! If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t have hidden!”

“No need to dwell on it, Ancestor. Even if I recognized you then, it would not have been appropriate to approach.”

“True, you were with those young masters. It wouldn’t have been convenient.”

Ancestor Sui Bian was relieved.

“Ancestor, could you share your experiences with ?”

Yu Zhao was curious about what lay ahead for those who ascended via the Heavenly Ladder.

Ancestor Sui Bian perked up slightly, “Our experiences were far better than yours. The small world connected to the Cultivation World was Seven Mist Realm, where predecessors from the Cultivation World had stationed themselves. With their guidance, we quickly integrated.

“I waited a hundred years in Seven Mist Realm, but no Five Elents Dao Sect disciples ever ascended. So, I started traveling for training, returning every hundred years to check.

“But ever since White Feather, that old peacock, ascended, not a single soul from the Cultivation World followed.

“By the ti we old fellows realized sothing was wrong, the transmission passage between Seven Mist Realm and the Cultivation World had long since collapsed.

“Without coordinates, we couldn’t establish contact.

“From then on, everyone worked tirelessly to restore the passage, yet we could never pinpoint the exact coordinates.

“We had no choice but to continue searching for the materials needed to reconstruct the passage while trying to locate the coordinates.”

Yu Zhao suddenly understood.

Ancestor Sui Bian’s presence in the God-Abandoned Land was likely to gather materials.

She couldn’t help but feel moved.

It wasn’t just those in the Cultivation World who were struggling. The predecessors who had ascended were also fighting to reconnect the worlds.

Ancestor Sui Bian sighed deeply, “Seeing you, I thought the passage had been restored… but it was just another empty hope.”

“Ancestor, we now know how to build the passage. The materials are being gathered. We are just one step away from success.”

“You’re right! We’ve persisted for so long, we will succeed!”

Spirited once more, Ancestor Sui Bian let out a hearty laugh.

“If those old fellows hear that a Five Elents Dao Sect disciple was the first to arrive, they will be green with envy! I always said our Five Elents Dao Sect was the greatest in the Cultivation World, and now they can’t refute it!”

His joy was genuine, his old face beaming brightly.

“By the way, you only ntioned being a Five Elents Dao Sect disciple. Who is your master?”

Before Yu Zhao could answer, he interjected, “Wait! Let guess! Lan Yu? Bi Xiao? Heng Nan?”

Yu Zhao’s mouth twitched.

“Ancestor, I am from the forty-eighth generation. The ones you ntioned are all from the forty-sixth.”

He had skipped a whole generation.

“Oh, right! I forgot! When I ascended, the forty-seventh generation had just entered the sect. Let think… The most promising one among them… surna Yu? Yes! Yu Huai Jin!”

His eyes lit up as he turned to Yu Zhao.

“Wait, your surna is also Yu… Could it be that you are that little ice block’s daughter?!”
