Yao's husband

  The censer on the altar of sacrifice has spiritual energy. The spirit of Mo Tian Ge was shaken.

  This valley is clearly an ordinary valley, where flowers, grass and trees are all without spiritual energy. Yet this incense burner actually has spiritual energy, it must be extraordinary.

  After a thorough examination, the incense burner was finally moved away with the help of magic, and the source of the spiritual energy was discovered.

  Flying in mid-air, Mo Tian Ge looked down and saw the altar, stone statues, and tall trees surrounding it. This was clearly an array! An array that had evolved to not require spiritual energy!

  She slightly curled up the corners of her mouth. In the mortal world, there are also formations, those formations do not require spiritual energy, but they are evolved from the formations in the immortal cultivation realm. The effect they produce is only to confuse the judgment of mortals, and if immortals use their divine sense and immortal techniques, they can naturally break through.

  With hands clasped together, the incantation was chanted and a burst of energy shot out. The censer on the altar suddenly exploded, spewing out its contents. Spiritual energy surged into the sky, and the surrounding scenery transformed in an instant. The sky turned dark in a flash.

  The stranger looked up and glanced around, furrowing his brow.

  Wave after wave!

  This array is actually a true formation of the Immortal Realm. The stone statues and altar that were seen earlier have all disappeared, leaving only an empty desolate wilderness.

  No, this is an illusion!

  Flying Shuttle in hand, white silk cloth has been sacrificed, Wild Sky Song bursts out instantly, sealed in the palm.

  After several intricate and complex hand seals, multiple streams of spiritual energy shot out simultaneously.

  In the dark of night, a shrill whistle seemed to come from the wailing and howling of fierce ghosts. Then several spiritual energies counterattacked back.

  A heavenly singer shook, a white silk handkerchief flew out, transformed into a four-sided brick wall, and steadily blocked the counterattack. The next moment, the white silk handkerchief was withdrawn, and the flying needle shot out, transforming into several golden lights, striking continuously.

  After a few "puffs" of soft ringing sounds, everything fell silent and the sky was bright.

  Mo Tian Ge let out a breath, this formation had been unknown for thousands of years, the spiritual energy had long since weakened, and its power had greatly diminished, only then could it be broken so easily. However, looking at the way the array was set up, even if the original power were to be restored, a Yuan Ying cultivator would still be trapped for a while... Could it be that the person who set up this formation is a Yuan Ying cultivator?

  With such suspicions in mind, Mo Tian Ge carefully observed his surroundings.

  The formation was broken, and the scenery returned to its original appearance. Underneath the incense burner, a cave entrance appeared, and spiritual energy surged out.

  The stranger's song was extraordinary, this mountain valley clearly didn't have any spiritual veins, so why did this cave suddenly emit such pure spiritual energy? This spiritual energy fluctuated... and it felt very similar to what she had sensed before!

  Having found this out, Mo Tian Ge cautiously approached, first using magic to probe, then grabbed a live animal and put it in, and there was no abnormality, only then did he slowly step inside.

  This passage is extremely narrow, probably only allowing one person to pass through, along the stone steps, down level by level, and finally a spacious large hall. Mo Tian Ge snapped his fingers. A cluster of flames appeared at his fingertips. From the perspective of a cultivator, although it was possible to see objects in the dark, it was very strenuous, but with a clear fire, everything could be seen clearly.

  Looking around, this hall is carved out of the stone wall, and it looks like a cave. Could it be an ancient hermit's cave? Getting slightly excited, Mo Tian Ge thought again, no, that stone statue earlier was clearly from several thousand years ago, and should have nothing to do with ancient cultivators.

  Walking through the hall, along the stone path slowly moving forward. The hall was very dark, but the spiritual energy was very dense. Mo Tian Ge had already determined in his heart that this was a small-scale spiritual vein, artificially sealed by an array - it seemed that it was undoubtedly a Dongfu of a cultivator, and the cultivation of this cultivator must be above the Yuan Ying stage.

  Arriving at this conclusion, Mo Tian Ge finally became interested. Since the formation was still there, then this cave shouldn't be an abandoned one. In that case, it's highly likely that the Nascent Soul cultivator had sat in meditation here until his death. A cave where a Nascent Soul cultivator sat in meditation until his death represented what? It must contain the cultivator's accumulated wealth!

  Released the flying shuttle, surrounded by guards all around, after drawing a conclusion, Mo Tian Ge became even more cautious.

  The long stone path, the endless darkness, Mochen walked for a while, suddenly feeling a chill run down her spine. Although she was already an immortal in the eyes of mortals, facing this scene still made her feel a little frightened. Thinking back to her past adventures, they were just mutual killings, never had she faced the unknown darkness alone.

  In the darkness, only my own soft and gentle breathing can be heard, a sound that was inaudible in everyday life, standing out with exceptional clarity in the boundless silence. Within sight, there is only a single point of firelight at the tip of my finger, everything else is hazy and obscure, making it even more terrifying.

  Found himself in a bad mood, Mo Tian Ge closed his eyes, pressed the finger technique, and the light between his eyebrows shone brightly. In an instant, he arrived at the Void Sky Realm.

  Seeing the familiar bamboo house and stream, emotions finally calmed down a bit.

  Sat down in the bamboo house, Mo Tian Ge couldn't help but shake his head. The tempering of his state of mind was indeed still insufficient, if it were like this, when he encountered the Heart Demon during the formation of the Golden Elixir, there would definitely be a problem, fortunately he had come out to temper himself, otherwise even if his master's teachings were good, being a Yuan Ying cultivator, he wouldn't have been able to discover the problem.

  She sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breath. After running a big cycle, she confirmed that her mood was calm before preparing to go out and continue exploring.

  She suddenly stopped before she could finish reciting the incantation.

  Outside the Void Sky Realm, a faint voice came: "Xiu Ge, take a rest first."

  This is Shang Ruyan's voice. Mo Tian Ge snapped his fingers, and the sound suddenly became clear.

  "Shu Ge!" The sound of Shang Ruyuan's heavy breathing was very loud, seemingly extremely exhausted. With her foundation-building cultivation, there was no reason for her to feel so tired. Had she been injured?

  After a while, Yao Zixiu's voice was heard: "Wanmei, are you okay?"

  Shang Ru slowly caught her breath and asked: "Xiu Ge, why are you in such a hurry?"

  The song of the wild sky, I heard it, her voice was filled with resentment.

  Yao Zixiu said, "We've managed to escape with our lives, and we've discovered that there's a Dongfu of cultivators here. It's highly likely that there are some treasures inside. Of course I'm anxious - if those Orthodox Daoists and that female cultivator surnamed Ye find it first, won't we be left out?"

  "It doesn't matter if we don't have it!" Shang Ruyuan was somewhat annoyed, "Didn't you say that as long as we're together, everything will be fine? We can be together, and even if we lose the treasure, so what!"

  After a while, Yao Zixiu finally said: "Wanmei! I'm doing this for us to be together, we've gone through so much trouble to escape, what if we get caught again? Over the years, I've come to realize that without cultivation and power, one has no right to speak! If my cultivation wasn't too low back then, your father wouldn't have promised you to someone else. And if our powers weren't too weak, we wouldn't have had to hide and run to the mortal world all these years! Wanmei, don't you understand? In the immortal realm, power is everything, otherwise, it's hard for us to be together!

  "What's so difficult about that!" Shang Ruyun's voice was laced with anger, "If we just casually find a place to hide, my dad and the others will never be able to find us even if they want to die trying!" She said up to here, then softened again, "Xiu Ge, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before, why..."

  "Don't ask me why!" Yao Zixiu retorted with a snort.

  Mò Tiān Gē was also startled, and after thinking for a moment, she felt somewhat uneasy. She furrowed her brow, and a bead floated out from between her eyebrows. She cast a spell, and the void sky tore open, revealing a rift. Through it, she saw Yáo Shì's husband and wife on the stone path.

  Shang Ruo Wan seemed to be shocked by Yao Zi Xiu as well, staring at him with a look of astonishment. However, Yao Zi Xiu's expression softened, and he spoke in a gentle voice: "Ruo Wan, I want to bring you happiness, not make you hide and run around with me. I hope that one day, we can return openly and honorably, and let your father and the others know that choosing me was the right decision!"

  Upon hearing his words, Shang Ruyue's face showed emotion: "You don't have to say that, I've said it before, I don't care what cultivation you are, as long as we can be together, that's enough..."

  "No, Wanmei," Yao Zixiu insisted, "I... I couldn't be such a useless man. If it were so, then everything your father said back then would have been right. I'm just a Three-Spirit Root, and even building my foundation was a struggle. If you hadn't secretly given me your Foundation Establishment Pill, I wouldn't even know if I could build my foundation... I want to prove to your father that although my innate talent is poor, I can still..."

  By this time, Mo Tian Ge had roughly understood what was going on with Yao Zi Xiu.

  These two are not fallen family scattered cultivators, but escaped family cultivators. The saying "childhood sweethearts" is probably true, growing up together and developing feelings over time. However, Yao Zixu's talent was average and couldn't enter the eyes of Shang Ruyue's father, so he didn't allow the two to interact. As a result, Shang Ruyue secretly eloped with Yao Zixu...

  Maybe there are some minor errors in details, but it's mostly like this.

  At this time, however, Mo Tian Ge had a bad premonition upon hearing Yao Zi Xiu's words. Shang Ru Wan was in the midst of it all and probably didn't notice Yao Zi Xiu's flickering and obscure thoughts.

  Saying it was for her happiness, his gaze flickered in a place where Shang Ruyun couldn't see. Afraid that this man had already become discontent with just having romantic days.

  Mo Tian Ge wore a hint of a cold smile as he continued listening to their conversation.

  Shang Ruo Wan finally relented, leaning into Yao Zi Xiu's arms, and said softly: "Xiu Ge, don't worry, we've been on the road for a long time, but we haven't found any signs left by others. It seems that only we have discovered it... Alas, I wonder if Ye Jia is still alive."

  "Don't worry, that girl's cultivation is higher than both of ours. Even if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to defeat her. And with the spiritual treasure watching over us, nothing should happen."

  "This is indeed..."

  Yao Zixiu said again: "This Ye Daoyou, really don't know what identity, you say her age is about how much?"

  Shang Ruo Wan thought for a moment and replied, "This person's behavior is steady and stable, but at first glance, it's clear that she's still a young girl. As for her specific age, I couldn't say, but I'd guess she's probably under 80 years old."

  "Under eighty years old..." Yao Zixiu's eyes sparkled, and he muttered in a low voice, "At this age, he has already reached the mid-stage peak of foundation building... If it's just luck, I'm afraid he can condense his dan within a hundred years or so. It seems that he must be an elite disciple of the Great Gate Sect."

  "It's probably true." Shang Ruyue said, "Looking at the spiritual treasures on her body, they far surpass those of her peers. She must not be a loose cultivator, and even small sects may not be able to cultivate someone like that."

  Yao Zixiu nodded silently, his eyes deep in thought: "In that case, it's also a gain..."

  "What?" Shang Ruyun hadn't heard clearly.

  Yao Zixiu hastily smiled: "Nothing. Wanyi, are you feeling better? Shall we continue on our way?"

  Today is making up for yesterday. Old debts have not been repaid and new ones are owed, what's that called? Waking up to reality, maybe I'll slowly make it up by a thousand or two...
