They both opened their eyes one by one. Huan Caiyi released a sigh, she had finally achieved one major step forward in her cultivation journey.
Both Zhi Hui and Huan Caiyi looked at each other and smiled before approaching the others.
"Congratulations, Master and Aunt," Ming Yue imdiately bowed and congratulated them.
"Congratulations, Seniors," Jiang Hao did the sa.
"Hmm... I have to say, it really feels quite different than before,"
Huan Caiyi stated.
"That’s natural. Wait till you break through in body cultivation too, you’ll feel reborn,"
Yin Ni explained.
"Guess we’ll have to achieve that quickly," Huan Caiyi nodded.
With no need to worry about their safety, they now had enough ti to cultivate peacefully.
Jiang Hao decided to tell them about what jad happened, since he left and ca silently—not many knew about.
"Senior, so days ago, two Tribulation Ascendance Realm cultivators from both sects ca to the border of the Forbidden Zone."
Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui’s eyes widened—they were truly shocked hwaring that
But thinking about what had happened because of the lion, it was sowhat believable.
"So they went back? I wonder if they were able to save Ze Yu or not,"
Huan Caiyi asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head. "They’re dead, Senior."
"Dead?" Zhi Hui spoke imdiately, narrowing her eyes.
Huan Caiyi was shocked as well. Killing a Tribulation Ascendance Realm cultivator wasn’t easy. Reaching that level ant they were worthy of it.
Jiang Hao nodded. "Senior Yin got bored and decided to watch a show."
Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui didn’t know what to say. If it really was Senior Yin Ni, then she could certainly pull sothing like that off... but wasn’t she injured?
"Don’t point fingers at . You paid for it and agreed to it anyway,"
Yin Ni said with a shrug.
Jiang Hao sighed. "Yes, we lost a lot of spirit stones."
Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui didn’t care about that. If they could get rid of Tribulation Ascendance Realm cultivators for just spirit stones, they’d be happy.
Tribulation Ascendance cultivators were the foundation of a sect. Killing them was equivalent to damaging the sect’s very roots.
"Perfect, hehe... I wonder what their reaction will be. I bet they’ll never reveal it to anyone." Huan Caiyi smiled.
Jiang Hao didn’t know. It had already been quite a few days since that incident, but he hadn’t heard of anyone else coming, at least senior Yin Ni haven’t told him about anyone.
Perhaps they still didn’t even know their Tribulation Ascendance cultivators were dead.
"Well, cultivate for now. We’re going to try to reach Grade 7 too. After that, we might leave to explore the world,"
Huan Caiyi said.
"That’s good too. Exploring the world gives more insight into Dao,"
Yin Ni nodded at their decision and continued.
"Before going, cultivate the Heavenly Lotus Sutra to stage 7. It will improve your Nirvana’s Veil to its maximum. No one will be able to locate you by any ans. Well, if you can’t—ask Yao Ying. She can hide your heavenly secrets even better than that skill."
Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui nodded. They had received law seeds, and they understood now that they belonged to a path called concealnt. It definitely resonated with their understanding of the Heavenly Lotus Sutra.
"Master, I want to go too," Ming Yue spoke.
Zhi Hui looked at her and nodded. She had already thought about this.
"Okay. Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, we’ll leave together. What about you, Jiang Hao?"
Jiang Hao thought for a mont, then shook his head.
"Senior, I will go alone. You should go."
He had been thinking about this lately. Now that both Senior Huan and Zhi had beco Heavenly King Realm cultivators, they could roam the world freely. Given that no one would be able to find them, there was no danger.
He had decided to travel alone while practicing his sword. Though the sword path seed pointless to him now—since he might not use it later—he had already chosen to walk it, and he would follow it to the end.
Maybe it would take ti, since he wouldn’t be focusing solely on it, but with enough ti—if he lived long enough—there was no need to discard it.
"Hmm, that will be better for you," Zhi Hui nodded. With his ring and Senior Ni beside him, she wasn’t worried.
They all returned to cultivation.

Sowhere else...
"Elder Hong Yi hasn’t returned yet?" Jing Han asked with a solemn voice.
"No," another grand elder answered.
They didn’t have life talismans for Grand Elders—there was never a need for them, so they had never been created. Not to ntion, anything related to those who go in seclusion were destroyed in the outside world .
"It’s been five months already. That was more than enough ti to complete his task and return. What the hell is he doing?"
Jing Han didn’t even consider the possibility that Hong Yi could be dead.
"What if, after finding them, he decided not to return to the sect?" another grand elder suggested.
Jing Han narrowed his eyes at him. "I know you two didn’t get along, but isn’t that in the past?"
"Supre Elder, I don’t an to cast suspicion... but it’s been five months. Forcing two weak special physique holders to sign a blood contract wouldn’t have been hard for him. He might be trying to groom them in secret for his own greed."
Jing Han didn’t respond imdiately. He thought for a mont before speaking.
"We don’t know what happened. The most concerning part is the disappearance of the Truth Seeker.
It was safe before we started using it to track those four. Our sect elders perished so easily, and now we don’t know where Hong Yi is. It feels like sothing beyond our comprehension is working behind the scenes."
The others beca stunned before arriving at the sa conclusion.
There was definitely sothing wrong.The fact, that Huan Caiyi and the others had survived in the Forbidden Zone for years was already unbelievable.
The disappearance of the Truth Seeker so easily was even more suspicious. They had already confird it had nothing to do with Sky Pavilion or their cultivators.
So, there was only one conclusion: it was done by Huan Caiyi or Zhi Hui. But given their known capabilities, that was impossible.
"So what do you think, Supre Elder? Is there a third party involved?"
"No. No one is capable of entering that level of array without alarming anyone in this world. And if soone was that capable, there’d be no reason for them to hide.
I think it’s a treasure—a treasure of concealnt, maybe. And it seems like it didn’t belong to this world."
