Ye Chen emerged after two months, having cultivated and spent time with his master Gu Yunyun. Meanwhile, Luo Bingling, frustrated by the long wait and Ye Chen's perceived idleness, grew enraged but remained in the area, hoping to acquire the Dao Cauldron. Upon sensing Ye Chen's aura, she confronted him, only to be further annoyed when he declared he would visit the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land before heading to the Central Continent.
"Rebellious disciple!" Gu Yunyun declared, spitting out the words, hoping this rebellious disciple would depart swiftly. Nevertheless, a pang of reluctance tugged at her heart. The two months spent within the mystical small world had been the most joyous of her life. Ye Chen cherished it when she addressed him as "rebellious disciple." Especially when she clutched the Immortal Peach Tree, its branches quivering and petals showering her back as she bit her lip and uttered curses at him. This sight ignited a heart demon within Ye Chen, who had been poised for departure. He resolved to extend their stay by an additional two and a half months. As Luo Bingling observed in utter disbelief, he guided his master back towards the cave. "Ah, Master, I had neglected to impart to you a simple, direct sword intent. I am not yet departing…" Gu Yunyun's eyes widened in surprise. Not leaving? She harbored no desire to return. Yet, how could she, a mere cultivator at the Unity stage, possibly resist? Bound by helplessness, she was drawn inside. Luo Bingling, who had anticipated her own departure, found herself staring at the cave door as it swung shut, questioning the very essence of her existence. Was Ye Chen truly without end? Instead of cultivating, while all others pursued immortality and delved into the Immortal Path, he chose to retreat into a cave? Her vertically slit pupil quivered, her purple hair disheveled, as if she were about to unleash a torrent of divine light to shatter Gu Yunyun's cave. However, mindful of her ultimate objective, she restrained herself. "They shall all perish! Upon attaining immortality, I will first exact vengeance upon the divine son, then Ye Chen, and finally Gu Yunyun—all must meet their demise!" … Two and a half months elapsed, and Ye Chen finally prepared to depart from the Sword Sect. Gu Yunyun accompanied him to the boundary of the gate array. Disregarding the Sword Sect ancestor, Ye Chen offered no elaborate farewells. His gaze lingered on his master, a profound reluctance evident. Their bond was deep; he had unreservedly shared his insights into the sword Dao, and she had reciprocated with unparalleled generosity, leaving the Star Pool imbued with the fragrance of peach blossoms. "Master, I am truly leaving this time!" Gu Yunyun offered a nod, remaining silent, fearful that he might choose to stay. This was not born from a desire for his absence, but rather from her wish to prevent him from hindering his cultivation journey or pursuit of immortality due to her presence. She believed only one among them could ascend in this generation, and she fervently hoped it would be Ye Chen. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Luo Bingling, observing from nearby, rolled her eyes, her fists clenched. Had Ye Chen lingered for even another half-month, she vowed to lose all patience and obliterate the cave. Fortunately, this time, he did not delay. His master required the focus to achieve a breakthrough. As Ye Chen turned to depart, a figure exuding an aura of profound wisdom descended. The subtle Saintly aura emanating from the figure identified him as the Sword Sect ancestor. Ye Chen subtly rolled his eyes, choosing to ignore him. Had it not been for this old man's interference, a single Dugu Wooden Sword would have sufficed to bring his master along with him. She did not wish to confront other women? No inconvenience. With the Dao Cauldron residing within his small world, she could cultivate there. He envisioned her clinging to the Peach Immortal Tree daily. The more he contemplated it, the more his anger surged. It was the first time he felt a gift had become a detriment. The ancestor, upon noticing Ye Chen, offered a smile. "Is the Fourth Holy Son departing? Cultivate diligently!" His tone lacked the warmth previously displayed; he made no plea for Ye Chen to remain. He then turned his attention to Gu Yunyun. "Yunyun, a fellow Daoist has discovered a sea eye within the Endless Sea, ideally suited for breakthroughs from Unity to Mahayana. It not only doubles cultivation efficiency but also provides other advantages. He has no heirs, so I acquired this information at considerable expense. You are prepared—accompany me! I shall personally oversee your breakthrough, ensuring absolute safety! Oh, have you prepared your Law Qi? I procured one for you with sixty-eight laws from a Fellow Daoist in the Central Continent…" Gu Yunyun stood astonished. To have a Saint personally guard her breakthrough? What extraordinary consideration was this? He had even journeyed to the Central Continent for Law Qi. Overwhelmed, she shook her head. "Ancestor, I possess Law Qi suitable for my Dao foundation." In reality, it was Immortal Qi provided by Ye Chen. The ancestor nodded, unsurprised. "From the Fourth Holy Son, undoubtedly. He cherishes you immeasurably. Only the finest, devoid of any grievance or discomfort, is deemed adequate for you." Gu Yunyun lowered her head. Ye Chen was indeed exceptional. However, grievances and discomfort? There had been plenty. Back at Green Cloud Sect's Sword Peak, he had not been so… inventive. He must have learned such methods from the women of the Heavenly Desire Sect. Ye Chen was taken aback. He himself offered merely the protection of a half-Saint. To have the Sword Sect ancestor personally guard his master? And to locate a sea eye? He offered a resounding thumbs-up. The old ginger certainly possessed a potent spice. A masterful maneuver. Next time, he would consider another ginseng fruit. The ancestor's decisive actions brought a measure of peace to Ye Chen's heart. He smiled at his master, summoning his bronze war chariot to commence his journey. Luo Bingling, who had long been suppressing her impatience, let out a sigh. Her golden armor shimmered, accentuating her fair skin, the alluring curve of her navel, and her sleek, mermaid-like figure. She boldly boarded Ye Chen's waiting chariot. In her estimation, Ye Chen, a man of predictable desires, had initially overlooked her in his pursuit of the novelty of his new master. After two and a half months, his fascination had waned, and he was ready to move on. Now, she was confident his attention would turn to her. Once the opportune moment arose, she believed she could acquire anything she desired.

Boarding the vessel presented no issue. She would commandeer the Dao Cauldron and this magnificent chariot. Its lethal aura resonated with her persona, akin to a battle-hardened Divine Maiden. Ye Chen, a mere mortal, was deemed unworthy to share its carriage; he would serve as her charioteer, pulling it.

"Could this truly be the Heavenly Emperor's chariot? It doesn't appear to be an Extreme Dao Weapon?"

Luo Bingling, captivated by the chariot's presence, mentally claimed it, yet her brow furrowed at its classification.

Ye Chen, after a warm farewell to his master, turned, a frown creasing his face as he regarded this unfamiliar woman. She was becoming far too familiar! What were her intentions? Could she be seeking recompense for the Heavenly Emperor's actions against members of the War God Clan?
