"Master, you're here!"
Shen Subing maneuvered the Spirit Vessel, carrying everyone as they returned to the Meritorious Dojo after two hours.
After two hours of recovery, Tan Yun had restored fifty percent of his spiritual power.
Shen Subing openly praised Tan Yun, encouraging everyone to take him as a role model and to strive for glory in the Meritorious Lineage.
“Thank you,” Shen Subing smiled gracefully, collecting the thousands of Qiankun Rings into the Deity Ring on her jade finger.
She looked at Tan Yun with gratitude, “With these Spirit Stones, whether it's our Sacred Sect, the Immortal Sect, or the Inner Sect Meritorious Lineage, we won’t lack resources to activate the Mustard Seed Time-Space Magic Treasures for the next few hundred years.”
“Oh right, Tan Yun, I plan to open the Time-Space Scroll tomorrow, allowing everyone in our Meritorious Lineage to enter cultivation.”
Tan Yun bowed respectfully, “Chief, I have some matters to attend to and will be leaving the sect for a while tomorrow, so I won’t be entering seclusion.”
“Where are you going?” Shen Subing asked.
Tan Yun replied honestly, “I have finished refining the Supreme Heart-Rescue Pill prepared for Jade Whisper and want to deliver it to her as soon as possible.”
A hint of worry flashed in Shen Subing's beautiful eyes, “When will you leave? I’ll accompany you; I’m not at ease with you going alone.”
“Chief, I have Old Ape to protect me, so I’ll be fine. You have so many matters to attend to; you don’t need to accompany me,” Tan Yun respectfully said, “You are the honor of our Meritorious Lineage. Only by improving your strength as soon as possible will our lineage truly grow strong.”
Shen Subing pondered for a moment, “Well then, be careful on your journey.”
“Mm.” Tan Yun respectfully said, “I take my leave.”
Subsequently, Tan Yun, along with Mu Mengyi, Xue Ziyan, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and Tuoba Yingying, soared into the sky, taking half an hour to return to Tan Yun's First Immortal Valley.
“Tan Yun, I’ll go with you,” Mu Mengyi said, a hint of longing in her beautiful eyes, “I miss Sister Jade Whisper a bit.”
“Me too,” Zhong Wu Shiyao chimed in.
“Me as well, I want to go too,” Xue Ziyan said with a smile.
Tan Yun shook his head, his expression serious, “You all should focus on your seclusion and await my return.”
“Since the Six Heavens Mystic Palace has already found the Dragon Cloud Sect to hunt me down, they will definitely find the Huangfu Sacred Sect within decades. At that time, it’ll be easy for them to track me down based on the primordial chaos god-slaying sword technique and heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation I used.”
“Thus, we don’t have much time left. We must enter long-term seclusion to quickly improve our strength to face future crises.”
“You all focus on your cultivation in the sect. With Old Ape accompanying me to the divine soul celestial palace, I’ll return in about a year.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Mengyi and the others nodded their heads in agreement, indicating they would follow Tan Yun's arrangements.
Tan Yun took out five hundred billion Supreme Spirit Stones and gave them to Mu Mengyi, instructing Zhong Wu Shiyao, Xue Ziyan, and Tuoba Yingying to take Spirit Stones from Mu Mengyi if needed.
After that, Tan Yun sat cross-legged in the Immortal Valley to regain his strength...
Three hours later, as midnight approached, the sky was filled with stars.
After three hours of absorbing the world's spiritual energy, Tan Yun's strength had returned to peak condition.
Tan Yun released the golden dragon spirit lion from the Spirit Beast Bag and smiled, “Big guy, for the next year, you’ll follow Mengyi and enter the Time-Space Scroll for cultivation.”
“Understood, Master,” the golden dragon spirit lion replied in its honest voice from its bloody maw.
Tan Yun stepped forward, gently kissing Mu Mengyi's forehead, “I have some matters to handle tonight. Once I’m done, I’ll rush to the Dragon Cloud Sect to return the Spirit Stones. I must leave now.”
