A small mountain village, in the courtyard of Wu’er Xianting.

Li Fan felt quite content. After the strange weather had finally ended, the sky became exceedingly clear.

It was now approaching evening.

“1 haven’t painted the sunset in many days… Zi Ling, Nan Feng, come, follow me to take in the sights and sketch from life,” he said.

Upon hearing this, both Zi Ling and Nan Feng were extremely delighted.

It had also been a long time since they had gone out.

Moreover, going out with Li Fan surely meant that great opportunities awaited!

Seeing this, the other disciples were simply envious.

But since Li Fan didn’t take them, all they could do was envy.

Zi Ling carried the painting board and other materials, while Nan Feng had her zither on her back. The three then stepped out the door.

Leaving the small mountain village, they saw the Cangli Mountain Range, which had been collapsed and desolate. But now it appeared to be brimming with the freshness of spring.

Grass was sprouting everywhere, and towering trees were growing anew. In the woods, rabbits and other animals full of vitality scampered by.

Li Fan was also taken by surprise; he had not expected such great changes in the world outside after just a few days without leaving the house!

“The seas change into mulberry fields in a moment, the cycle of life and death, is just so…” Li Fan couldn’t help but reflect as he walked.

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng and Zi Ling both pondered deeply.

“The seas change into mulberry fields in a moment, for teacher, perhaps the wax and wane of the world truly lies within a single thought…” Nan Feng murmured.

“The cycle of life and death, the deaths of those powerful Profound Immortals, are now fostering the life of everything around us… There’s an old saying, ‘When a whale falls, myriad life thrives.’ Teacher is showing us just such a principle…” Zi Ling’s eyes widened.

Li Fan led them, step by step, up a high peak.

By the time they reached the summit, the sunset was just right, and the sky was like stained in blood.

“Zi Ling, starting from today, you may learn to paint the sunset,” Li Fan said.

Zi Ling was instantly overjoyed!

Could she really paint the sunset now?

She had seen with her own eyes how Li Fan had captured such a contradictory existence as the sunset within his paintings!

Was she finally going to engage with such a terrifying aspect of the Art of Painting?

Li Fan spread out a piece of paper, gazed at the setting sun in the distance, and started to paint with quick strokes!

For a moment, time flowed by, and the sun sank in the west. A sense of vast wilderness sprang to life on the paper!

Zi Ling watched intently from the side, her face showing deep fascination. She was understanding, feeling…

Meanwhile, next to them, Nan Feng gently played her zither, her demeanor suddenly shifting.

The transcendental aura, which had once decimated ten immortals with a single tune, reemerged.

Back in the courtyard of Wu’er Xianting.

Xinning looked around quietly, her large eyes stealthily shifting.

The disciples of Li Fan were all busy with their own tasks, almost no one paid attention to her.

She snuck into the kitchen, found the corn that Li Fan used to feed the chickens, grabbed a handful, and then ran back out.

Summing up her courage, she headed towards the “Earth Chicken” flock.

As she approached, an Earth Chicken lazily lifted its eyes and glanced at her.

Xinning instantly felt the terrifying presence, as if she was being stared at by an ancient behemoth. She was drenched in sweat, but she stepped forward, squatted down, and offered the grains of corn in her hand.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to intrude, respected seniors… 1 bear no ill will, and I dare not have any…” she stammered.

She wanted to go out to find Ming Tianbei as Li Fan was not around.

She had some matters to explain.

But with Li Fan away, she didn’t dare to run off recklessly. She understood all too well that she needed the permission of the seniors here… so she was essentially “asking for leave.”

The chicken didn’t look at her any further, simply pecking at a few grains of corn on its own.

Xinning felt as if she had been granted amnesty and said, “I’ll definitely come back on time, I will return on time…”

After saying that, she walked towards the outside.

“Xinning, where are you going?” Qing Chen, who was sweeping the floor, saw Xinning and asked in confusion.

“I’m going out for a bit and will be back soon…” Xinning replied.

“Don’t play for too long, don’t stray too far, understand?” Qing Chen instructed.

Xinning left.

After she left, a white cat also sneakily slipped out.

Once Xinning had left the courtyard, she immediately activated her powers and began to summon Ming Tianbei.

Soon, Ming Tianbei appeared before her, bowing respectfully, and said, “Greetings, Demon Monarch!”

Xinning said directly, “Besides the people from the Immortal Domain, there is another group in the Xuantian Realm who are plotting against the World Tree, and I suspect there is definitely a conspiracy!”

“You must leave here immediately and investigate the realms adjacent to the Xuantian Realm to see what has happened in the other Lower Worlds. Report back once you have found something.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei became anxious and said, “But Demon Monarch, without me by your side, who will protect you?”

Xinning replied, “How could you protect me anyway? Don’t worry, go ahead. I am now clinging to a powerful figure. Unless it’s one of the few strongest people in the Immortal Domain who comes, I am quite safe.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei’s heart was filled with complicated emotions!

He almost thought he was hallucinating. This was the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, whose notorious reputation once shook the heavens… And now, she actually claimed to be clinging onto someone else’s coattails…

How terrifying must that existence be?

But remembering the horrific scene of her defeating ten immortals with a single melody, he shuddered and immediately responded, “Your subordinate understands, I will go now!”

At this moment.

Elsewhere.

A white streak of light, moving at an inconceivable speed, appeared outside a small mountain village.

It was Bai Xiaoqing.

She quickly headed in a certain direction.

Shortly after, she arrived among a grove of trees.

As soon as she appeared there, a majestic voice had already sounded:

“You really did make it difficult for your father to find you!”

Right after, a middle-aged man emerged from the void. He wore a pale golden robe, his eyes wild with a powerful aura.

This was an Almost Immortal!

At this moment, he frowned upon seeing Bai Xiaoqing’s form and said, “I see you’ve really gone wild, even transforming into something like a cat?”

In the woods, the snowy white kitten, upon hearing this, suddenly transformed.

The next instant, a young girl in a long snow-white dress appeared among the trees.

She had skin as clear as ice and jade, her figure was stunning, her long, straight legs lightly obscured, with a waist that could be encircled with a single hand, her long black hair cascading down her shoulders.

Especially her bosom, it was impressively bold!

Truly peerless!

“Dad, long time no see, huh!”

Bai Xiaoqing said with a smile, “How did you find your way here?”

This middle-aged man was none other than the Sovereign of the White Tiger Clan in the Xuantian Realm, Bai Xiaofeng!

“If 1 hadn’t come looking, I’m afraid you would have forgotten what kind of clan you belong to. Look at what you’ve become now!”

With a grave tone, Bai Xiaofeng spoke up, “Come back with me right away. In another month, the ‘True Monarch’s Blessing Conference’ will take place. If you can gain favor with the Main Ancestral Hall and be blessed with some immortal nectar, your bloodline can be further purified!”

—The White Tiger Clan was extremely powerful, and their Main Ancestral Hall held a high status above the Immortal Domain, recognized as a significant power.

The True Monarch’s Blessing Conference was organized by the Main Ancestral Hall to look after the various branches in the Lower Worlds. At that time, outstanding descendants from the Lower Worlds would receive immortal nectar, true blood, etc., and might even be chosen to enter the Immortal Domain, securing a supreme future!

It was because this conference was so important that Bai Xiaofeng personally came to find Bai Xiaoqing.

This was not an opportunity to miss!

However, Bai Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “1 won’t go back!”

“Dad, I’ve found an owner here, and I’m his pet cat. I think it’s quite nice. Just pick any other descendant for the True Monarch’s Blessing Conference.”

As she spoke, she even seemed somewhat proud.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaofeng’s face changed drastically, and then, rage surged forth!

An owner?

Being a pet cat?

That she thought it was quite good?

He was so angry he could spit blood, so furious he could go mad!

His own daughter, the child of an illustrious clan sovereign, was doing such an “embarrassing” thing. If this were to spread, how could he even go on living!

“You… you rebellious girl! Today, your father must capture you and take you back!”

Enraged, he stretched out his hand, and a cage of Almost Immortal-level Spiritual Power instantly formed, about to imprison Bai Xiaoqing!

But Bai Xiaoqing just smiled and waved her hand lightly. All the restraints suddenly dissipated under her control!

Seeing this, the White Tiger Clan Sovereign Bai Xiaofeng instantly gasped in shock. Disbelievingly, he looked at his daughter and exclaimed, “You… You’ve become an Almost Immortal!?”

He was astounded.

How could this be possible?

His daughter had only left him for a few months!

Back then, Bai Xiaoqing hadn’t even reached the Hollow Void Realm!

And now, she had become an Almost Immortal?

This was a rate of growth that was utterly unimaginable!

While he was still stunned, Bai Xiaoqing arrogantly tilted the corner of her mouth and unleashed the power of her bloodline!

In an instant, a golden sea materialized behind her, filled with endless mysteries, as if it could evolve into something absolutely terrifying!

The White Tiger Clan Sovereign Bai Xiaofeng was even more completely dumbfounded at this moment. His mouth agape, he muttered, “The Purest Bloodline, with manifestations emerging… How is this possible?”
