Past and Present

After what seemed like a brief moment, Xu Yue opened her eyes yet again, as her intuition suddenly flared up, something which had not happened for many years.

This time, though, nothing truly major had actually happened, causing a rather confused expression to appear on Xu Yue's face as she stared at the wall in front of her.

At this moment, roughly five hundred years had passed since Xu Huan had left seclusion, as such, Xu Yue was able to deepen her understanding of the Dao even further than before.

But even so, Xu Yue didn't pay any attention to this in the slightest, as the frown on her face became deeper and deeper with every moment.

"Who, or what, was the reason I woke up?" mumbled Xu Yue as she eyes suddenly passed over her daughters.

Although all three of them had progressed in their cultivation, Xu Yue did not pay much attention to this after making sure that nothing had happened to them, as she then moved on.

In what seemed like a few brief moments, Xu Yue's eyes had passed over every single person that was related to her in some way, but no matter how hard Xu Yue searched, she couldn't find the origin of this weird feeling she was feeling.

At this moment, Xu Yue felt like she had become blind, but even so, she knew that this was not the case in the slightest.

"Something big just happened..." mumbled Xu Yue as she touched her chin for a few moments.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yue finally decided on what to do, as a small jade slip suddenly appeared in her hands.

In a fraction of a moment, Xu Yue wrote some things into the jade slip, before throwing it out of the cave abode a few moments later, knowing that her ancestor would soon encounter it.

A few moments after that, Xu Yue closed her eyes once again and continued her seclusion.

After some careful consideration, Xu Yue had decided to not pursue this weird feeling.

...

In what seemed like an instant, three thousand more years passed, but even so, Xu Yue did not pay much attention to time, rather, she continued focusing on her cultivation instead.

At the same time though, at this very moment, a discussion was taking place in perhaps the best hidden place in the entire three thousand regions.

...

At this moment, five kids, who each looked different ages, stood sat cross-legged in a circle.

Right now, the oldest kid, who looked to be around ten or eleven years old, was frowning deeply whilst staring at the jade slip that was floating in front of him.

"We need to speed up our plans, fifty thousand years is far too much time," said the boy as he looked at his comrades.

Hearing this, a little girl, who looked to be at most three years old, couldn't help but frown.

"You must know very well, even fifty thousand years is pushing it, I'm not sure that I can recover to even my limited state in only fifty thousand years, if you want us to speed up, my combat power will be greatly weakened," said the girl as she looked at the boy with a seemingly angry look on her face.

Hearing this, a boy, who looked to be around 9 years old, shook his head as he read the contents of the jade slip.

"I believe we must act as soon as possible, but not later than in eleven thousand years," causing a shocked expression to appear on the faces of the other three.

But the moment the jade slip floated in front of them, and the three of them read its contents, they suddenly froze, realizing the reason why they needed to hurry.

"That's speed is far too frightening, wouldn't it be possible to act now?" asked one of the two boys who had been silent up until now.

Hearing this, the oldest boy couldn't help but shake his head.

"That would be our best option, but you shouldn't underestimate the Three Thousand Regions, although we took them by surprise, they most likely have some surprises prepared for us by now," said the oldest boy, causing the youngest girl to nod, having felt the power of the Three Thousand Regions.

"We will take action in twelve thousand years, by then, our hole card should be ready," said the oldest boy, causing a confused expression to appear on the faces of the other four.

"Don't worry about it, you should just know that we have to take action in twelve thousand years," said the oldest boy, prompting the other five to nod.

A few moments later, the five children vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind them in the slightest.

...

At this very moment, near a tiny mortal village, in an insignificant part of the Three Thousand Regions.

Right now, an old man could be seen standing over a rock, watching the village with a rather speechless expression on his face.

"It's been tens of thousands of years, how luck must such a tiny village be to survive," mumbled the old man as he looked at it.

Originally, this old man had wanted to go back to see what had happened to his hometown, but he did not expect it to still be standing after all these years.

"Were you the one who blessed it?" asked the old man as he gripped the blood-red necklace hanging from his neck with a faint look of melancholy.

As he remembered the scenes of his youth, back when he was just a naive little kid, Dai Jie, who had already become a bitter old Minor Transcendence cultivator, couldn't help but let out a sigh.

So many years had passed since then, and Dai Jie was no longer the young, innocent kid he was back then.

After staring at the village for a few moments, a blurry figure couldn't help but appear in Dai Jie's mind.

"Sister, I lied to you back then, I couldn't come back for you..."
