Chapter 189: The plan to cross Tian Duan Plains officially begins

Jin Yu gave them a deep look, feeling a sense of shock in her heart. It turned out that their cultivation path was different from that of the people in this immortal world.

“If it were anyone else saying this, I would have scoffed.” Jin Yu's eyes showed a rare seriousness as she said in a deep voice, "But if it's the two of you, I certainly believe it!"

“What?! Old Ox, did you hear that?!” Chen Xun shouted excitedly, “Daoist Jin, you believe it too, right?”

“Moo?!” The big black ox's eyes widened. Who said there was no path forward? They all believed there was.

Jin Yu smiled without speaking. She didn’t believe in the path, she just believed in them.

“After I leave, I don’t dare hope that you two will do much. I only ask that when you need something, you remember Moon Tower.” Jin Yu looked at Jiang Xuechen and with a wave of her hand, suppressed and extinguished her spiritual energy. “From now on, Xuechen will be the master of Moon Tower.”

A slight sweat appeared on Jiang Xuechen’s forehead. Wasn’t the ancestor giving her final instructions, just like her mother did back then...

“Daoist Jin Yu, we understand.” Chen Xun sighed softly, patting the big black ox. “But I’m afraid the Northern Territory has become quite dangerous. There must be quite a few Nascent Soul spirit beasts, right?”

“Moo!” The big black ox snorted angrily upon hearing the term "spirit beasts."

If they dared to charge from the Northern Territory to the Qian Nation and desecrate graves, it would make them regret ever being born in this world!

“Ancestor, can you not go?” Jiang Xuechen’s eyes welled up with tears, her voice was soft and heart-wrenching.

“Alive, we must see them; dead, we must see their bodies.” Jin Yu frowned deeply, with a trace of hidden anger between her brows. “Xuechen, when you entered Nine Palaces Mountain, how did my senior sisters teach you?”

Jiang Xuechen trembled, her eyes red, nodding repeatedly without daring to stop her any longer.

Chen Xun’s expression was complex. He understood that the feelings within the sect were akin to a big family, especially in a powerful faction, united in a way that was hard to imagine.

It was nothing like outsiders imagined, with constant scheming and infighting. Such factions wouldn’t last long and would destroy themselves.

“Daoist Chen, Daoist Ximen, I must set out today.” Jin Yu’s tone softened, not daring to treat them the same way she had treated Jiang Xuechen. “If Xuechen fails to serve you well, feel free to punish her.”

“You're too kind, Daoist. Xuechen has been very considerate in her duties.” Chen Xun's expression twitched, feeling as if he had become the ancestor of Moon Tower. “Besides, how could we dare punish the leader of Moon Tower? That would be against the rules.”

“Moo~” The big black ox wholeheartedly agreed with his elder brother. Jiang Xuechen had gone to great lengths for them, showing much care.

Jin Yu felt a slight relief, having only tested them a little. Moon Tower still had the strength to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators.

But these two—she really couldn't find any faults with them. They seemed carefree, but their words and actions were always measured, never causing discomfort or offense.

Over the past century, not only had Moon Tower not suffered any losses, but they had also profited greatly from cultivating resources, even helping Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“Daoist Chen, Daoist Ximen.”

Jin Yu’s bright red lips curved slightly in a captivating smile before she transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished from Nine Palaces Mountain.

In another part of the hall, Jiang Xuechen bowed deeply, not rising for a long time. A few clear tears had already fallen to the ground.

“Senior.”

Xiang Jing appeared in the hall, respectfully bowing, slowly walking to Jiang Xuechen's side.

“Hmm, we’ll be leaving now,” Chen Xun said with a gentle smile. This old man seemed like the steward of Nine Palaces Mountain.

“Moo~” The big black ox was feeling a bit down, still clutching the storage ring in its hoof.

After they left the great hall, they soared into the sky.

On the way.

“Old Ox, make sure to take good care of this storage ring. It carries a lot of sentiment.” As Chen Xun spoke, he slipped the storage ring onto his finger. “We should visit the Five Elements Sect in a few days. Something seems off in the cultivation world.”

“Moo!” The big black ox responded, already setting up a restriction on the storage ring before swallowing it whole.

Before long, they were sitting back in their rocking chairs on the cliffside.

The big black ox kept fiddling with the storage ring, liking it more and more, unable to put it down. Chen Xun, however, was lost in thought. He had already grasped the method of crafting the flying boat, and the cranes in the valley were growing strong.

Could a flying boat made from a 99,000-year-old crane spirit tree become a life-bound artifact? His eyes grew sharp as a grand design for the flying boat appeared in his mind, but he couldn’t avoid using spirit stones as a power source.

“Old Ox.”

“Moo?”

“If formations can use the energy of the five elements instead of spiritual energy, then why not boldly consider using the five elements to power the flying boat as well?!”

“Moo!”

The big black ox’s eyes sparkled with excitement as it looked at Chen Xun, who was leaning forward with his hands crossed, deep in thought, and nodded vigorously.

“Old Ox, do you have the confidence?” Chen Xun’s mouth curved into a wild grin. “I’ll take care of crafting the giant boat. The rest is up to you.”

“Moo~~~~” The big black ox snorted a hot breath, looking into the distance with unwavering determination.

Chen Xun’s gaze gradually deepened as he, too, looked toward the horizon.

“Old Ox, our plan to cross Tian Duan Plains officially begins.”
