Snow Moon Peak remained a cold place of sword hums.
After experiencing two rounds of cultivation in the myriad manifestations pagoda, Li Zhiwei and Murong Xue's sword dao Foundations were exceptionally solid.
Li Hanyi began teaching them more profound sword arts and required them to start attempting to "nurture Sword Intent."
On Danxia Peak, the fragrance of medicine grew even richer.
Zhao Linger was already able to stably refine high-quality Fasting Pills and low-level healing Medicinal Pills.
Wang Zhaojun's affinity for plants and trees grew by the day.
Under Yun Miaoyi's guidance, she made rapid progress, showing astonishing talent in the Dao of Alchemy.
On Illusionary Dream Peak, colorful halos flowed incessantly.
Under Butterfly Dance's "coercion" and the time advantage of the myriad manifestations pagoda, Xiao Ya's cultivation finally rose to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
More importantly, she combined some of the principles from the "atlas of ten thousand manifestations and divine craftsmanship" with the Formations taught by Butterfly Dance.
She actually managed to tinker and create some strange and eccentric Formations.
Although the time was limited and they were extremely unstable, often causing small disturbances.
But it also allowed Butterfly Dance to see her astonishing potential, making her increasingly satisfied with her Personal Disciple.
Giant Spirit Peak, Dragon Head Peak, and the Peaks of the other Elders were also scenes of vigorous activity.
The Disciples' cultivation levels rose steadily, their techniques and Martial Skills became increasingly proficient, and their coordination with each other grew more seamless.
The seventy-plus "to-be-assigned" Disciples currently under the unified instruction of Liu Ruyan and Gu Luoli were not neglected either.
In addition to their cultivation, the two formulated a detailed rotation plan based on the Disciples' Spiritual Root attributes and interests.
They allowed the Disciples to take turns visiting each Peak to experience and learn the basics, while also being evaluated by the Elders.
Many Disciples showed hidden strengths that had gone unnoticed before, and over thirty more were selected by the Elders of various Peaks to be taken under their wings.
The entire Sect was flourishing, with its atmosphere changing for the better every day.
However, for Gu Han, who sat atop the Cloud Bed overlooking it all.
This scene of rapid growth amidst tranquility was certainly pleasing.
Yet it also caused a faint, almost imperceptible... loneliness to rise in her heart.
A cultivation at the Late Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm was nearly the Peak in this world.
The Sect's development was orderly, the Disciples were hardworking, and the Elders each fulfilled their duties.
As the Palace Master, aside from occasionally handling core matters, she had actually begun to live the "hands-off manager" life she had originally envisioned.
Drinking tea, enjoying the scenery, cultivating the "Chaos Scripture," and occasionally guiding A Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Gu Luoli.
Life was so peaceful... it was almost a bit too perfect.
"System."
Gu Han looked at the dense, misty rays of light over the Yaochi outside the window and called out in her heart.
[Ding! Host, I'm here! Do you find life boring and have started to miss this System?]
Gu Han automatically filtered out the System's teasing and said directly:
"In the other domains of the Canglan Continent, are there any Disciples with ten-star potential?"
[Oh, has the Host finally decided to expand territory and recruit more talents?]
[This System will scan for you right now!]
After a brief silence, the System's prompt sounded again, carrying a... strange fluctuation.
[Ding! Scan complete!]
[A total of 1 person with ten-star potential has been detected across the Eastern, Western, and Northern Domains.]
[Detailed coordinates have been locked.]
[Would you like to view the detailed information?]
A flash of surprise crossed Gu Han's eyes.
Combined, the other three domains only had one seedling with ten-star potential?
"View."
[Name: Ye Linger]
[Bone Age: Sixteen]
[Current Cultivation: None (Unable to Cultivate)]
[Identity: Collateral descendant of the Ye family in 'Luoxing City' of the Eastern Domain]
[Special Physique: 'Nine Yin Absolute Meridian' (Unable to store spiritual power, equivalent to a cripple.)]
[Potential Rating: Ten Stars (Latent)]
"Nine Yin Absolute Meridian... unable to store spiritual power, yet possesses latent ten-star potential!"
Gu Han caught the key point.
"System, does her potential need specific conditions to be activated?"
[Correct, Host! The Nine Yin Absolute Meridian is seen as a cripple in this world. But in other continents, it is the prototype of the 'Taiyin Divine Body'!]
"Other continents? The prototype of the Taiyin Divine Body?"
Gu Han's thoughts raced, and she immediately caught the even more crucial information in the System's words.
"System, you just said... 'other continents'?"
"Could it be that outside of the Canglan Continent, there are other cultivation continents?"
Her voice carried a rare hint of inquiry.
As a Transmigration traveler, most of her knowledge of this world came from the geographical Jade Slips she had purchased.
Those records only described the vastness of the Canglan Continent and never mentioned other worlds beyond it.
[Ding! The Host has finally hit the mark!]
The System's electronic voice seemed to rise a few notches, carrying a sense of "I've finally waited for you to ask."
[As far as this System knows, within this vast Star Domain known as the 'Starfall Ancient Domain,' there are a total of ten 'cultivation worlds' like the Canglan Continent!]
"Ten?!"
Despite Gu Han's state of mind at the Late Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm, her heart couldn't help but tremble at this moment.
This news undoubtedly completely overturned her understanding of this world!
"In other words, the Canglan Continent is just one of them?"
[Exactly, Host!]
[These ten worlds are isolated from each other by endless void turbulence; without accurate coordinates and the strength to traverse the Void Realm, it is extremely difficult to cross.]
[Therefore, within each continent, the perception that 'one's own world is the center' has become the mainstream.]
The System's voice carried a hint of scientific patience.
[Although the Ten Directions World share the same Star Domain, due to the differences in source power at the time of their creation, their cultivation Systems, Realm divisions, and even their understanding of certain Physiques are different.]
Gu Han listened to the System's information about the "Ten Directions World" and remained silent.
She used to think that the Late Stage of the Immortal Ascension Realm was the Peak of this world, and with the Yaochi Immortal Palace newly established, the future could be planned slowly.
But now, the System's words were like a bolt of lightning, shattering the barriers of her perception.
It also ignited the desire for exploration deep in her Soul, a desire that belonged to a Transmigration traveler who refused to remain stagnant.
"So... the world is this large."
Gu Han whispered to herself, her voice echoing softly in the empty Main Hall.
The "Nine Yin Absolute Meridian," which was regarded as an incurable disease and the end of one's path in the Canglan Continent.
In other worlds, it was actually the prototype of some top-tier Physique?
This difference in perception itself explained many things.
"Taiyin Divine Body... it sounds related to moonlight and yin-attribute energy, with ten-star potential..."
Gu Han's fingertips unconsciously tapped lightly on the edge of the Cloud Bed.
"Eastern Domain, Luoxing City, Ye family collateral branch..."
Her Divine Sense stirred, instantly connecting to the Jade Slip in the Immortal Palace that recorded the general geographical information of the Canglan Continent.
The Eastern Domain was hundreds of millions of miles away from the Southern Domain, separated by the "Forbidden Zone for Living Beings" known as the Endless Sea, as well as the continuous Primordial Mountain Range.
Even a Mahayana Stage Cultivator would need to spend a considerable amount of time to cross such a distance.
However... for the current Gu Han, this was not a difficult task.
At the Late Stage of the Ascension Realm, her control over the Law of space had already reached the pinnacle of this world.
"System, from the Yaochi Immortal Palace to Luoxing City in the Eastern Domain, with my current cultivation, how long would it take to travel at full speed?"
[Luoxing City is located at the junction of the Eastern and Northern Domains. If the Host uses full Spatial Displacement, it will take at most two days.]
Two days!
Not long.
It's the perfect chance to take A'Yao out for a walk.
The little one hadn't left this place since she woke up.
At her age, she's full of curiosity about the world. Keeping her cooped up in the Immortal Palace to Cultivate all the time isn't necessarily a good thing.
"It's good to go out and see..."
A trace of softness flickered in Gu Han's eyes.
Besides, taking this little "mascot" out might lead to unexpected gains.
With a thought, Gu Han sent a voice transmission to A Yao's ear, who was playing with some spiritual fish by the Yaochi.
"A Yao, come to the Main Hall."
"Master Mommy!"
A'Yao, who was squatting by the Yaochi trying to scoop up spiritual fish with her small hands, immediately looked up upon hearing the transmission.
A flash of surprise and joy crossed her big eyes. She patted her small hands, stood up, and ran toward the Main Hall with her short legs.
"Little fishies, A Yao is going to find Master Mommy! I'll play with you next time!"
She didn't forget to look back and wave to the spiritual fish in the pond, then dashed toward the Main Hall like a cheerful little butterfly.
A moment later, the Main Hall door was pushed open a crack, and a small head peeked in.
"Master Mommy! Were you looking for me?"
A Yao blinked her big eyes and pushed open the door, running inside.
Today she was wearing a light blue little Ruqun, her hair tied into two cute little buns.
As she ran, her skirt fluttered and her hair ribbons danced, full of vitality.
Looking at the little one who threw herself at her legs, eyes full of reliance and joy, Gu Han's heart softened.
She leaned over, picked A Yao up, and placed her on her lap.
"A Yao, do you want to go out and play with Master?"
"Go out and play?!"
A Yao's eyes instantly widened, her small face filled with unbelievable surprise and joy.
"Really? Master Mommy is going to take A Yao out to play?"
"Where are we going? Is it far? Is there anything yummy?"
A string of questions popped out of her small mouth, filled with lively anticipation.
Although she lived happily in the Yaochi Immortal Palace, with Master's love, people to play with, and many beautiful places to run.
But a child's nature is always full of endless curiosity about the "outside" world.
"To a very, very far place called the Eastern Domain."
Gu Han gently pinched her soft little face and smiled.
"There's a lot of scenery there that we don't have here, and plenty of delicious food and fun things."
"However, the journey might be a bit tiring. Is A Yao afraid?"
"Not afraid!"
A Yao immediately puffed out her small chest and clenched her little fists, looking like "I'm very brave."
"A Yao is very strong! A Yao wants to go with Master Mommy!"
That serious little expression made Gu Han unable to help but laugh.
"Alright, then A Yao, go tell your two Junior Sisters and have them help you pack the things you want to bring."
"We'll set out first thing tomorrow morning."
"Hooray! Thank you, Master Mommy!"
A Yao cheered, hugged Gu Han's neck, and gave her a "mwah" on the cheek.
Then she wiggled her little body and ran out like a small whirlwind, shouting as she went:
"Second Junior Sister! Third Junior Sister! Master Mommy is taking A Yao out to play!"
