Li Yunjing spent five years enhancing his Chaos Palace and mastered several high-level skills. He then allocated a large sum of Contribution Points to his followers, including his wives Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, and his disciple Lin Xuan, before preparing to depart on a perilous journey north to fulfill a century-old pact with a Divinity Transformation Realm expert. Meanwhile, Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, concerned by the sudden influx of points, learned Li Yunjing was in isolated cultivation and were granted leave to visit him.

With the Supreme Elder’s procedures, the two naturally left the frontline.

“Ruoxi, we must become stronger!”

After leaving Shenxiao Pass, Yu Yunyi tightly held Lv Ruoxi’s hand: “We can’t always let our husband bear the risks alone!”

“We’ve been striving relentlessly all this time!”

Lv Ruoxi nodded deeply, determination flashing in her eyes: “It’s just that our husband’s skills are so immense…”

At this point, the two women couldn’t help but sigh, feeling somewhat disheartened.

It’s not that they haven’t tried hard; over the years, they’ve almost given their all, frequently battling enemies on the frontline to hone their cultivation.

Yet, no matter how hard they tried, it seemed impossible to catch up to Li Yunjing’s shadow.

…

Meanwhile, as Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi headed back, Li Yunjing had already started delegating responsibilities to his subordinates, assigning specific tasks for the “Seven Star Palace,” “White Tiger Hall,” and “Black Tortoise Hall.”

The people below had grown accustomed to this laissez-faire style from their steward.

Li Yunjing was almost like those Supreme Elders, only guiding the general direction and not involving himself in specifics.

The work beneath the three main halls was actually quite straightforward.

After all, a hands-off steward is certainly better than a boss who micromanages everything.

Li Yunjing requested an extended leave from the Shenxiao Dao Sect, stating that he was going out for training, and then set off.

The first stop was naturally the Star Moon Trading Company in Red Sun Market. This time, heading to the Land of the Far North, he also needed to bring Zhao Qi, since both of them had once been afflicted by a restriction of a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator and must face the danger together.

Along the way, Li Yunjing kept a low profile, choosing to travel by escape light to Red Sun Market rather than using the Celestial Patrol Ship.

The Celestial Patrol Ship had experienced numerous battles and sustained quite a bit of damage, leaving many minor issues.

In recent years, Li Yunjing had sent the Celestial Patrol Ship to the Celestial Craft Hall for repairs and upgrades, adding many new features.

Due to the materials, his battleship nearly reached the combat power of the Nascent Soul Realm First Heaven and Second Heaven.

This was one of Li Yunjing’s foundations.

An important recourse for exploring Celestial Wave Star.

Unless faced with danger, Li Yunjing preferred not to use the Celestial Patrol Ship to avoid depleting its energy.

A distance of a thousand miles now seemed insignificant to Li Yunjing, and soon, he arrived at the market.

Entering the market, he found this once bustling cultivation market even more vibrant than in his memory.

On the streets, cultivators jostled shoulder to shoulder, with long lines in front of various shops.

“Senior, are you looking for accommodation?”

A junior cultivator at the Qi Refinement stage warmly approached, “Our Yunlai Inn has just received a batch of mountain delicacies…”

Li Yunjing waved his hand to decline, heading straight for the center of the market, the Star Moon Trading Company.

From afar, the flags fluttering before the trading company appeared even more dazzling than before, with a bustling entrance.

Clearly, with Golden Core Realm cultivators stationed there, the business of the Star Moon Trading Company had elevated to top-tier commerce association standards, undoubtedly securing the number one spot in Red Sun Market.

“The boss has arrived!”

A Foundation Establishment Realm shopkeeper intercepted Li Yunjing, showing a surprised look, then delightedly said, “Boss! Please!”

“Uh! Keep it low-key!”

Li Yunjing frowned slightly, ready to say more when his divine sense suddenly stirred.

He looked up at the top floor of the trading company, meeting a pair of familiar bright eyes.

Zhao Qi was at the window, wearing a moon-white dress, with starry hairpins sparkling in her hair, showing even more mature charm than before.

The two gazed at each other across the space, a hint of joy flashed in Zhao Qi’s eyes, immediately instructing the maid beside her.

Under the surprised gazes of onlookers, Li Yunjing was respectfully ushered into the trading company’s interior.

Through layers of restrictions, he finally arrived at an elegant tea room.

Zhao Qi had already prepared the spirit tea, awaiting, and amidst the lingering aroma, she spoke softly, “It’s been years, husband, and finally you’ve come.”

In the tea room, the fragrance of the spirit tea permeated the air.

Li Yunjing looked at Zhao Qi, whose demeanor had surpassed her past self, his eye showing a hint of tenderness.

“You’ve endured hardships over these years.”

He softly remarked.

Zhao Qi’s hand, pouring tea for him, paused slightly, a glimmer of moisture appearing in her eyes: “Husband, what are you saying? I know you’ve faced difficulty outside; the Shenxiao Dao Sect has seen much warfare in recent years, and it’s been far from peaceful.”

“Sigh…”

Recalling the experiences of recent years, Li Yunjing let out a long sigh.

“There’s no need to dwell on other issues, let’s talk about the centennial agreement.”

Li Yunjing’s expression turned grave, “Though we still have over sixty years, we must head to the Land of the Far North.”

“I’ve been waiting for this day too.”

Zhao Qi nodded, taking out a jade scroll shimmering with starlight from her sleeve: “Besides cultivating over these years, I’ve been researching the routes to the Land of the Far North.”

She activated the jade scroll, and a three-dimensional map appeared.

“After studying, I’ve determined two primary routes: the first, heading north through the Great Ming Cultivation Realm; the second, entering the East Sea, then to Buddha Light Continent across the ocean, then north.”

Zhao Qi pointed to the routes on the map, then looked to Li Yunjing, asking: “Which route do you think is better?”

“The great battles in the East Sea haven’t ceased yet!”

Li Yunjing contemplated, replying: “Moreover, that True Monarch Zhu Ran is very active, and I’m somewhat a ‘famous person’ in the East Sea, so I truly dare not delve deeper therein.”

“Another reason is that the Buddha Light Continent is too dangerous, surpassing even the East Sea!”

“Followers of the Buddhist Sect are even more aggressive towards people of the Profound Sect than demon cultivators!”

“So I don’t want to take this route; let’s head directly north, cross the Land of Cold Ice from Northern Territory, traverse the Southern Heaven Continent, and proceed to Huang Ze Continent!”

Li Yunjing shared his thoughts.

“Alright! Whatever my husband says, I’ll follow!”

Without hesitation, Zhao Qi directly agreed to Li Yunjing’s choice.
