Chapter 489: The Cheat Code is On
It was a rare moment of solitude with Yun Yici, and he had just woken from a sweet dream. The emperor was reluctant to leave so soon.
However, after hearing Yun Yici recount the dangers outside, the emperor immediately changed his mind.
"Let's go, let's go out and meet that guy named Jiu Meng."
"I never expected that even Shen Huaichuan and I would be affected."
"Are you alright? Were you hurt by Jiu Meng when you were alone with her?"
Yun Yici replied, "I'm fine."
The only wound on her hand was one she made herself to stay conscious.
With a thought, the emperor decreed that the surrounding scenery vanished and returned to darkness.
Five other points of light of different colors hung in the darkness, while Ning Tinglan's white, cold light had disappeared.
Yun Yici was pleased: "It seems that Senior Shen has already woken up Senior Brother Ning."
"They're not here; perhaps they entered other people's dreams before we came out."
The emperor looked at the remaining five points of light and asked, "Does this one point of light represent a person's dream?"
"Where are we going now?"
Ning Tinglan woke up, so the remaining people were Rong Xuan, Mu Yunjian, Zhu Jian, Lin Yu, and Xie Qianjue.
Yun Yici: "It will be faster if we split up."
"Senior Brother Ning will definitely go to call Senior Brother Rong or Senior Brother Mu first, and Senior Shen should be going to find Zhujian."
"Go and call Lin Yu, I'll go find Senior Brother Xie."
The emperor reluctantly nodded: "Alright."
Yun Yici probed Xie Qianjue's light spot with her divine sense.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and this time she was well-prepared, so the tragedy of hitting Xie Qianjue was avoided.
The scene before her eyes greatly surprised Yun Yici.
Xie Qianjue and Shen Huaichuan were sitting under a huge peach tree, drinking tea and talking.
Her sudden appearance interrupted their conversation.
Shen Huaichuan looked over and said, "Xiao Ci is here."
Yun Yici looked around. The peach tree was in its prime, blooming on the mountaintop. As far as the eye could see, all she could see was a sea of white clouds.
"This is a good place."
Yun Yici walked over and, imitating them, sat cross-legged on the side of the stone table.
"Senior Brother Xie, Senior Shen, what are you talking about?"
Shen Huaichuan and Xie Qianjue have always been somewhat distant, and Yun Yici never expected that Shen Huaichuan would choose Xie Qianjue.
Xie Qianjue was dressed in white, exuding a faintly imposing aura, making him seem unfathomable compared to his usual self.
Yun Yici had a bad feeling when she met Xie Qianjue's gaze.
Xie Qianjue smiled and said, "I heard that Shi Qing is not dead, and my Xie family has not yet suffered the calamity of being wiped out. Is that true?"
"Nephew Yun."
This form of address left Yun Yici bewildered: "You..."
Shen Huaichuan explained from the side: "Dreams may be a nostalgic past, or a longed-for future. Perhaps he really has great fortune."
Xie Qianjue dreamt of him in his past life, when he could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.
Xie Qianjue and Ning Tinglan are of the same generation. She was born two hundred years later in her previous life and was Ning Tinglan's disciple, so Xie Qianjue calls her her junior disciple now.
Absolutely.
Yun Yici almost forgot about his overpowered protagonist attributes.
Every predicament becomes an opportunity for him.
"Yes, Junior Brother Xie Shiqing is still alive. After his father passed away a few years ago, he did not go back to take over as the head of the Xie family and has remained in the Nanhua Sect."
After listening, Xie Qianjue poured Yun Yici a cup of tea himself: "I heard that you ascended and fell, but I never expected you to have such a wonderful encounter."
"This Fellow Daoist Shen suddenly appeared in front of me, and I don't believe what he says."
“You were taught by Junior Brother Ning, you wouldn’t lie to me.”
Yun Yici honestly replied, "I must thank you for giving me the Mirror of Illumination, otherwise I would have died too."
"However, did Senior Shen explain the current situation to you?"
Xie Qianjue nodded: "As I said, I have noticed that another part of my consciousness is gradually becoming clearer."
"However, I sealed him away for the time being because Fellow Daoist Shen said he had many things he wanted to ask me."
"Xiao Ci, what I'm about to say is very important, so please listen to me. I don't have much time left."
Yun Yici said seriously, "You speak."
Xie Qianjue said, "In the lifetime you ascended, I obtained the Sun and Moon Shuttle by chance and made contact with the Xie family, becoming the head of the Xie family."
"I often disappear when I use the Sun and Moon Shuttle to travel to other regions."
"Because the person who was important to me at that time was dead, I didn't care about the life and death of the other domains and kept speculating among the four domains."
Yun Yici said with relief, "No wonder you always disappeared for long periods of time back then, your cultivation improved extremely quickly, and I heard that you were very generous."
Xie Qianjue waved his hand and said, "What I want to say is that there's not much time left regarding the Xie family's affairs in the Heavenly Spirit Domain, the broken Immortal Ladder, and the Demon Clan. Which one would you like to start with?"
Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan exchanged a glance and said in unison, "The matter of the broken Immortal Ladder."
