Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1002: If You Want to Go, I’ll Go With You!

Within Skyreach Island.

In a quiet, secluded courtyard.

Seated in the courtyard pavilion, Ye Yun, in the company of the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, appeared thoroughly at ease, leisurely sipping tea and observing the young junior sister practicing her cultivation in the adjacent courtyard.

At this juncture.

It had been a full month since Jiang Hengyue had dispatched Vice Island Lord Zhao Kui and his associates in The Tenth Sea Region.

Back then, Jiang Hengyue had readily admitted his errors with a commendable demeanor. Consequently, Ye Yun chose not to admonish him.

After all, Skyreach Island had established itself as the preeminent power in The Ninth Sea Area, continuously augmenting its influence and admitting numerous new recruits.

The individuals comprising the force were of disparate aptitudes, and it was inevitable that some missteps would occur. This is a common predicament for any burgeoning organization.

...

Following their arrival at Skyreach Island, Ye Yun and his companions established their residence in a tranquil, secluded courtyard.

Throughout this period, Gu Anran exhibited no unusual behavior, dedicating her time to cultivating within the neighboring courtyard.

Ye Yun also took the initiative to arrange the Five Emperors in a stable manner during this interim.

Regarding his disciple, Ji Wushuang, Ye Yun permitted him to remain on Skyreach Island to further his cultivation pursuits, advising against any immediate excursions.

Skyreach Island, situated in The Ninth Sea Area, resides a considerable distance from the mainland of the Divine Land, effectively serving as a sanctuary.

The formidable sects that populate the Divine Land seldom divert their attention to this remote locale.

Furthermore, Ye Yun had enacted a Peerless Array around Skyreach Island, thereby ensuring its profound security.

As for The Saint of Eight Extremes, Ye Yun harbored no intention of releasing him at this present moment.

Concerning this decision.

Ye Yun was contemplating alternative strategies.

The Saint of Eight Extremes was an individual of prodigious talent, capable of establishing his own sect. Ye Yun was disinclined to keep him confined within the confines of the Dragon God Sect.

Therefore, upon their arrival at the Divine Land mainland, Ye Yun intended to liberate The Saint of Eight Extremes, granting him the opportunity to explore the vast expanses of the Divine Land.

Should he, one day, successfully ascend to the Divine King Realm, The Saint of Eight Extremes would then be at liberty to found his own independent sect.

"Ye Chen, for how much longer do we intend to sojourn on Skyreach Island? The Dragon Tree must be awaiting us with considerable impatience!"

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, seated beside Ye Yun, moistened her ruby lips and, muffling her laughter with her hand, posed the question.

"That is indeed a matter worthy of consideration—perhaps you should return to the Land of Thousands of Buddhas first?"

Ye Yun mused for a moment before suggesting.

"And what of your plans? Do you intend to continue residing with your junior sister?"

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman inquired with a gentle smile.

"Precisely, my junior sister still holds certain mysteries, and I must ascertain the location of the Black Nether Spider’s true form..."

Ye Yun stated softly.

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman lowered her gaze, a brief hesitation flickering across her features, before resolutely declaring, "Very well, I shall depart first then. We shall reconvene in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas..."

"Ah, Luo Ye..."

Ye Yun gently clasped the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s delicate hand, a smile gracing his lips as he affirmed, "You are my spiritual partner, and this truth shall remain immutable!"

"I understand. You must remember that I am an adherent of Buddhism. My interest in matters of romance is rather subdued, and I have only ever regarded you as my spiritual partner..."

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman concluded, bestowing a sweet smile.

"That is reassuring. I too consider you my spiritual partner!"

Ye Yun replied with a tender smile.

He then extended his hand, caressing the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s soft cheek, and quipped with a playful glint in his eye, "However, existence as a deity can, at times, prove rather tiresome, would you not agree?"

"It is of no consequence. Truthfully, I aspire to attain the state of a Purple Buddha myself..."

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman responded with a smile.

She appeared entirely unfazed by Ye Yun’s affectionate gesture.

"No-self, no-form... Luo Ye, your comprehension of Buddhist principles surpasses even my own!"

Ye Yun offered his praise.

"Not in the least, you yourself are the second Purple Buddha of the Divine Land; I am truly envious of your attainment!"

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s cheeks flushed as she coyly confessed.

The title of Purple Buddha signifies the zenith of achievement within the Buddhist disciplines. The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, having devoted her life to the Buddhist Path, naturally harbored a profound desire to reach this exalted state.

"Rest assured, I shall impart a fragment of Infinite Buddha Light unto you. Absorb it upon your return, and it shall aid your future cultivation endeavors!"

Ye Yun deliberated for a moment before making the pronouncement.

The Dragon Tree Buddha had, in an analogous fashion, undergone his cultivation journey.

Whatever the Dragon Tree Buddha had achieved, the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman was equally capable of accomplishing.

Having spoken these words.

Ye Yun extended his palm, and a solitary wisp of purple Buddha light materialized within it.

This radiant purple light emanated a brilliant luminescence, casting a violet hue upon the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s countenance.

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s breathing quickened.

"Ye Chen, is the mere absorption of this single trace of purple Buddha light sufficient?"

She inquired, her voice tinged with a tremor.

"Indeed, this represents the most expedient path to cultivation!"

A soft smile graced Ye Yun’s lips.

Within this flicker of Buddha light, Ye Yun embedded a portion of the Mahamudra Sutra.

Should the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman manage to absorb it, she would naturally grasp this supreme scripture.

If, however, absorption proved impossible, Ye Yun would be compelled to instruct her personally.

His own mastery of the Mahamudra Sutra stemmed from its bestowal upon him through the sign-in system, allowing for cultivation devoid of any impediments.

Ye Yun harbored uncertainty regarding the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s potential for success if she were to cultivate it directly.

...

Bathed in the Infinite Buddha Light, and filled with elation, the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman departed from Skyreach Island.

Several days elapsed.

Gu Anran, residing in the adjacent courtyard, abruptly concluded her cultivation and proceeded directly to Ye Yun’s abode.

“Little junior sister, what brings you to seek me out today?” Ye Yun inquired with a smile.

Gu Anran surveyed her surroundings and then asked, “Senior brother, is Sister Luo Ye not here?”

“Ah, she has departed on an errand,” Ye Yun replied with a smile.

Witnessing the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman's departure, a pleased expression bloomed on Gu Anran’s face, and she skipped over to Ye Yun.

“Senior brother, I suddenly have the urge to venture out for a while. Would you accompany me?” Gu Anran gazed at Ye Yun with palpable eagerness.

“Certainly!” Ye Yun arose, a knowing smile playing on his features.

The young junior sister had begun to sense something profound.

It was also possible that the true form of the Black Nether Spider had detected this incarnation of the junior sister.

“Senior brother, I can’t quite explain it, but I simply feel a strong desire to go out. I keep having this feeling that some place is calling to me…” Gu Anran murmured, her head lowered.

“My little junior sister, you were quite the spirited one on the Cangnan Continent, always pursuing your feuds with gusto. Now that you find yourself in the Divine Land, why exhibit such hesitation?” Ye Yun smiled, reaching out to gently tousle the young girl’s hair. His voice, carrying a gentle tone, offered encouragement, “Go if your heart desires. I shall be with you!”

“Alright!” Gu Anran lifted her head, nodding resolutely.

In her luminous eyes, Ye Yun perceived the resurgence of a familiar spirit.

The spirited tomboy from a hundred thousand years past had finally returned.

...

The teleportation array on Skyreach Island flared to life, and Ye Yun, alongside Gu Anran, vanished.

As for Jiang Hengyue, Ye Yun had made all necessary arrangements well in advance, leaving him without any lingering concerns.

Progressing rapidly, Ye Yun utilized the teleportation arrays in succession, journeying all the way to the Daluo Region.

“It has been less than a century; is that young lady still immersed in her cultivation?” Standing atop a towering peak within the Daluo Region, enveloped by swirling clouds and mist, Ye Yun gazed in a particular direction, his thoughts drifting to Liu Yiyi, who was wholly devoted to the Sword Dao.

Gu Anran, standing on her tiptoes and gazing out at the faintly discernible sea of clouds, paused for a moment of silent sensing before speaking. “Senior brother, we no longer need to use the teleportation arrays. I sense that the destination I seek lies within the Daluo Region…”

“Understood!” Ye Yun nodded, withdrawing his gaze and turning his attention to Gu Anran.

“Lead the way, little junior sister, and I shall follow your lead!” he chuckled softly.

“Okay!” Gu Anran affirmed, taking flight and heading in a specific direction.

Ye Yun felt a sense of anticipation, leisurely following the young girl’s path.

The prospect of capturing the Black Nether Spider filled Ye Yun with a certain thrill.

However, a question lingered in his mind.

One hundred thousand years had already passed; in theory, the cultivation base of the Ghost God Spider’s true form should be formidable. Why then would it choose to conceal itself in the remote Daluo Region?
