In a small cabin.
The sages of the Blue Sky Sword Sea mostly wore puzzled expressions as they looked at the figure in blue robes before them, not understanding.
"Hey, did you grow up?" Li Yue asked with a blink.
Chen Xia shrugged helplessly and replied, "The main body had some business before, but now that it's back, I've returned to my original form."
"It really is your original form," Li Yang nodded. "You look exactly the same as you did in the Blue Sky Sword Sea. So many years have passed, and you haven't changed a bit, only your cultivation and battle power have increased. I'm truly envious."
Chen Xia stretched lazily and said with resignation, "There's nothing to envy about that. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's discuss the matter of returning to the Blue Sky Sword Sea."
"Are you ready to start the return?" Qiu Li asked in a deep voice.
Chen Xia nodded in response.
"Yes, it's about time. Now that Heaven's Way Great Reckoning has descended, we probably can't avoid this great battle. So we need to quickly integrate the Star Region and improve our battle strength to try and survive this war."
Qiu Li fell silent. He had seen the battlefield of Heaven's Reckoning and knew how fierce it was. If they had to fight against such a thing, it would indeed be a matter of life and death.
Chen Xia clasped his hands behind his back and continued, "Let's set the time for half a year from now. You all prepare, and when the time comes, I'll start the return. You just need to stand by and add some fortune."
"Alright."
"I'll wear a beautiful outfit and stand right in the middle!" Li Yue said cheerfully, not at all considering that she wasn't actually a cultivator of the Blue Sky Sword Sea.
"Then I'll go into seclusion to prepare."
"..."
Everyone responded in turn and then went off to do their own things.
Emperor Capital remained in the small cabin. In order to tame the White Emperor, this unruly beast, he had gone to great lengths. He tied him to the door of the cabin, sealed all his divine abilities and spiritual energy, and even directly made the White Emperor fall to the level of a sage, the same as his own level.
Emperor Capital's daily taming method was simple: slapping. No matter what the White Emperor said, he would just slap him, with a simple reason:
"My hand itches, I feel like slapping."
In just a few short months of taming, the White Emperor was tortured beyond recognition. Even the Dark Invasion had almost been erased from him. It was truly ridiculous.
Now he couldn't be called the White Emperor anymore, he should be called Little White.
Emperor Capital had found his amusement, and for this half year, he "took care" of the White Emperor meticulously, taming him into complete submission.
Half a year is not a long time, and it passed quickly.
On this day at dawn, it was still early. The sky was barely light, with no sign of rosy clouds.
In the small cabin, Chen Xia stood at the door early, waiting for Chi Yu and Emperor Capital.
Emperor Capital had specially dressed up today, wearing a golden imperial robe with silk embroidery, his head adorned with the Dragon Horn Star-Subduing Crown, and his hand holding the Dragon-Binding Chain that tethered the White Emperor. When silent, he exuded an air of majesty.
Chi Yu had also rarely changed his attire, wearing a large red robe that covered his body like fire, with the Three Thousand Flames Crown suspended above his head. He too had dressed formally.
Only Chen Xia still wore his plain blue robe, simple to the extreme.
But it didn't matter, he was handsome.
After all, Emperor Capital and Chi Yu didn't look much like humans, their faces as misshapen as oddly shaped gourds. They had to make up for it with their attire.
"Let's go," Chen Xia said with a light laugh. A small reddish sword hovered beside him. He flicked the sword tip forward, and it let out a soft chime, as if commanding.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Countless sword hums suddenly rose. Three million flying swords spread out, forming a great path of flying swords, with the River of Time as its foundation below.
The scene was grand and magnificent.
But grandeur was exactly what Chen Xia wanted. He took a step forward, his blue robe fluttering, and stepped onto the first flying sword. With each step on a flying sword, he ascended to the heavens.
Emperor Capital and Chi Yu followed behind him. Four great sages led the way, with two sages following behind.
The area where the ancestor star was located was just on one side of the Star Region, while the Blue Sky Sword Sea was on the other side. They had to cross from one side to the other.
They would have to traverse nearly half of the Star Region, passing by countless stars.
But there was no rush, because this was meant to be seen by those stars.
After traveling millions of miles, the void shimmered, and another figure appeared on the great path of flying swords. It was Qiu Li, dressed in an ancient black and gold dragon robe. He walked side by side with Emperor Capital, wearing a slight smile as he said in a low voice:
"You've actually dressed up to look quite human today."
Emperor Capital cast a disdainful glance and said, "I consider myself the most dashing in the world. Except for Brother Chen, I've never feared anyone in terms of handsomeness."
"Come on, you look like a wild beast baring its fangs and claws. I really don't know where your confidence comes from."
"..."
As the two bantered, Chi Yu stood quietly to the side with his arms crossed. He couldn't help but interject:
"Emperor Capital looks alright, at least better than me."
Emperor Capital brightened and quickly said, "See? Brother Chi Yu speaks fairly."
"Of course he's fair. He originally looks like a bird, so you looking better than him just means you look slightly better than a bird!"
Qiu Li's words were actually quite truthful, without any intention to belittle.
The great path of flying swords continued to flow.
Li Yang and Li Yue were already waiting at the outskirts of the Li Family's star river. Li Yang wore a dazzling golden robe, shining like the great sun, while Li Yue wore a pale, luminous white robe, resembling the moon in the sky.
"They're here, they're here!" Li Yue said excitedly.
As the three million flying swords approached, their figures flickered, and they both stepped onto the great path of flying swords, continuing forward.
Further back, Jia Bai and Huang Can waited on a star, and they too boarded the path of flying swords.
Hu Linye brought along the elders of the Blue Sky Sword Sea to board the swords.
The elders all wore festive red robes, following at the very end of the great path of flying swords.
With this, everyone had gathered.
A total of nine sages.
Eight sages walked in the middle, all wearing smiles, their eyes dancing with excitement and spirits high.
The figure in blue robes walked at the very front, leading the way for everyone. Treading on these three million sword intents, riding the River of Time, under the gaze of all the great powers in the Star Region, they headed towards the Blue Sky Sword Sea.
The other sages wore serious expressions, vaguely sensing Chen Xia's intentions, and said in deep voices:
"He wants to return to the Blue Sky Sword Sea again!"
"Can he succeed? This time the spectacle is so grand, it seems he doesn't just want to return, but to restore the Blue Sky Sword Sea to its dominant position from the previous great era!"
"Looking at it this way, Chen Xia's ambitions are immense, his appetite almost unimaginable."
"..."
The sages were speculating.
Chen Xia was already standing before the shattered Blue Sky Sword Sea, his gaze surveying the interior. He saw the Old Fisherman holding half of an Immortal Sword.
The Old Fisherman now had little life force left, and even the Dark Invasion on his body was sparse. It was estimated that he would perish in at most a few thousand years.
Chen Xia stood at the forefront, his eyes slightly lowered, his thoughts stretching far as he pondered many things.
He was the ender of the old era and the guide of the new era.
The universe was dark, and the dead sea of swords vaguely retained some traces of the past.
Chen Xia gave a light laugh. He still remembered being imprisoned beneath this sea of swords for five hundred years; he could be considered an old acquaintance of this sword sea.
No one behind him spoke; all were observing closely.
The blue robe rippled.
Chen Xia turned his head, his eyes containing the gray-white River of Time, slowly flowing. He smiled lightly at everyone and asked:
"Do you all miss it?"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
