“Krisha, did anything happen while I was away?”
“Please rest assured, everything is fine.”
“Good, that’s all I need to hear.”
Walking side by side with the witch, Xu Xi asked Krisha about the courtyard’s situation during his closed-door cultivation, along with other updates. The witch had done an excellent job managing the courtyard. Earth remained peaceful, with no unusual activity. Any disturbance would’ve imdiately drawn the friendly attention of four Supres.
“Master, I’ve prepared lunch for you,” Krisha said in her usual calm tone as she led Xu Xi toward the kitchen. Xu Xi agreed. However, upon reaching the dining table, he saw not only the al Krisha had prepared but also a full imperial feast made by the automaton.
“I’m sorry, Master,” Ailei said apologetically, dressed in a ho apron. “To celebrate your breakthrough, I ended up forgetting to welco you back.”
Ah… so that’s what it was. Not far ahead, but evenly matched…
Xu Xi sat down calmly and, with practiced ease, applied space-ti law while enjoying both Krisha and Ailei’s dishes. In a way, this was also a kind of training—an effective thod to improve his mastery over the laws of ti and space.
“Thank you. I really enjoyed this lunch.”
In the end, with a single sentence of gratitude, Xu Xi drew a perfect close to the day.
…
After enjoying the food prepared by the witch and the automaton, Xu Xi left the courtyard.
“I’m my Master’s disciple. In both emotion and principle, I should be the one to tell him the good news. After all, he’s always been concerned about whether I’d beco an immortal.”
He took a step that seed ordinary, yet easily crossed through ti and space. Wrapped in the law of ti and space, Xu Xi traveled in a single stride from Yanshan City to the capital, then used his overwhelming divine sense to scan the land and locate Li Wanshou.
“Not at the Heavenly Sword Sect?”
“Then he must be at the Extraordinary Administration Bureau.”
His figure flashed. This ti, Xu Xi no longer needed Li Wanshou’s invitation. Relying on his own strength, he directly stepped into Li Wanshou’s wood-elent miniature world.
It looked just as familiar as he rembered—gentle streams, rustling bamboo leaves. Perfect golden rays filtered from the sky, refracted by the flowing water, creating shimring white light like a rippling mirror.
“Who’s there?!”
A beam of immortal light shot upward, but it halted awkwardly once Xu Xi’s identity was recognized.
“Master, I’ve beco an immortal,” Xu Xi said, descending and revealing his aura with a smile. His True Immortal realm fully revealed itself.
Shock, confusion, joy—all of it flashed across Li Wanshou’s face in a single breath. Eventually, his hand trembled as he stroked his white beard.
“Hmph, I saw it coming long ago!”
“You rascal, acting so rash just after ascending. You want people to laugh at you?”
The old man scolded Xu Xi, but no matter how he tried to hide it, the smile in his eyes betrayed his happiness. He waved his hand, motioning Xu Xi to sit, then pulled from his mustard seed space a jar of immortal wine he’d stored for years. Happily, he poured a full cup for Xu Xi—and then another for himself.
“Drink!”
Under Xu Xi’s stunned gaze, Li Wanshou downed his drink in one gulp. The alcohol made his face flush with redness. He clearly intended to enjoy this mont, making no effort to dispel the drunkenness with immortal energy.
“Master, you might be drinking a bit too much.”
“Nonsense! That’s just the first cup!”
The elderly Wood Sword Immortal huffed, slamming the table as he stood up. “This is a rare joyous occasion. I should drink three full jars!”
With a sweep of his sleeve, several jars of immortal wine flew onto the table.
Xu Xi sighed and could only accompany the old man, drinking two or three cups with him.
In the end, Li Wanshou didn’t manage to drink all three jars. The immortal wine was too strong, too spicy. He couldn’t finish it.
“Good wine... wine from the Immortal Realm really is sothing else…”
“I’m so happy…”
The strong liquor made his voice hoarse, his cloudy eyes moist with tears. Swaying slightly, Li Wanshou looked at Xu Xi, his expression complex—there was both relief and pride, and also a wordless sense of sorrow.
“You foolish disciple… you’ve finally beco an immortal.”
“From here on, your path is your own. I can’t teach you anything more…”
lancholy. Reluctance. The old man drank cup after cup, eventually falling asleep atop the stone table, intoxicated by the dreamlike sweetness of immortal wine.
“We’ll keep walking together, Master. After all, your wayward disciple still needs your guidance.”
Xu Xi swirled the wine in his cup. The rippling surface released a rich aroma—clear, fragrant, lingering and llow. He sat in silence for a long ti, watching bamboo leaves fall in the miniature world, gently sipping the immortal wine, tasting the burn in his throat and the sweetness that followed.
“Thank you, Master, for always watching over .”
“I’ll co see you again.”
Before leaving, Xu Xi filled the empty cup across from him—Li Wanshou’s—with another full pour.
Once Xu Xi left, only rustling bamboo remained in the now empty, quiet miniature world. Dappled light fell on a pair of elderly fingers as they gripped the cup, hesitated, then drank it all.
“That brat… ran off so fast,” ca the amused mutter.
...
After leaving the Extraordinary Administration Bureau, Xu Xi stopped by to check on the red dragon. Seeing it full of energy, he left feeling reassured.
A lively dragon ans strong dragon blood. A good sign indeed.
Xu Xi returned to Yanshan City, leaving behind the red dragon, who suddenly shivered and poked its head out of its treasure pile, scanning the treasure hall nervously, unsure why it felt so scared.
“Scaring myself?” Lexanthes muttered, then buried his head back into the pile of gold coins, narrowing his eyes in cozy delight.
Ahhh~
This is how a dragon’s life should be.
...
Peaceful days returned.
Without the boost from a single peak-level breakthrough, Xu Xi’s cultivation speed had slowed. So, after returning to Yanshan City, he chose not to shut himself away endlessly but instead let things unfold naturally, relying on Supre-tier soft als to steadily advance.
He enjoyed calm, everyday life.
The sun was bright and vibrant. A gentle breeze brushed across the flowers and plants in the courtyard, also blowing through Krisha and Ailei’s hair. Wu Yingxue crouched next to Xu Xi, studying a cookbook. Moli wasn’t around—lately, she had been severing realms more frequently, like she had endless motivation.
Perhaps because of this, Earth’s evolution had sped up again. Every morning, Xu Xi could clearly feel the planet’s transformation and the maturing planetary consciousness.
The era of spiritual revival was officially coming to an end.
Earth was about to undergo a magnificent evolution and beco the true hub of all worlds.
“This pace is much faster than I expected… is it because multiple Supres are helping, and the montum is just too overwhelming?” Xu Xi sat in his study, looking out the window at the sky, feeling as if the clouds were glowing and celestial music echoed faintly in the distance.
