    In the bedroom.

    Chen Yun slept soundly and woke up refreshed.

    He gave the order to Chen Er, "Pretend to leave Qing City Mountain. Don't go too far, and you must be within the range where Jiandao Ren and Bi can protect you. Do you understand?"

    The energy form of the Solar Spirit transformed Chen Er answered quickly, "I will comply with your teachings."

    Hmm, Chen Yun gave names to his external energy form and inner form, but he was too lazy to think too much about it, so he referred to the external form as Chen Da, and the spirit of this day essence as Chen Er. Since it's based on his family name, if there are more forms in the future, it will be just one two three four five.

    With that, Chen Er left the room.

    Chen Yun did not bother with Chen Er, continuing to refine the qi pearl.

    A stream of spiritual energy entered the body, and through cultivation, it transformed into a danqi.

    Facing a major enemy, Chen Yun naturally wanted to quickly enhance his own strength and catch the opponent off guard.

    A qi pearl was refined.

    Ten qi pearls were refined.

    One hundred qi pearls were refined.

    After refining five hundred qi pearls, a new danqi was born within the dantian.

    Chen Yun remained calm and unaffected, continuing to work hard to refine the qi pearls.

    ……

    On the other side, Qingcheng County.

    In the inn, Shen Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed.

    The Zhou Tian Xingjian sword was laid across her knees.

    She was practicing the "Star Constitution of Spiritual Essence" while simultaneously releasing a special "starlight" to scan the situation on the Daifeng Peak of Qingcheng Mountain.

    "Star Constitution of Spiritual Essence" is an exclusive cultivation method created by Gouteng Daojie, which contains some special techniques.

    For instance, ordinary cultivators releasing their divine consciousness, qi, or other energies will inevitably cause some disturbances and be noticed by others.

    The "Star Constitution of Spiritual Essence" is different.

    The energy released by it will be integrated into nature, making it almost impossible for people to detect it.

    Moreover, this cultivation method has a particularly powerful feature.

    That is, it can borrow power from the stars, concentrating it on one's own body, and channeling a powerful force far beyond one's own level.

    For example, Shen Xiu is currently at the late stage of the High-Level Master Cultivator.

    If she doesn't care whether her body can withstand the power borrowed from the stars, she can unleash strength equivalent to the early stage of the Master of the Sect.

    On the surface, it seems that the early stage of the Master's level is only one small level higher than that of a High-Level Magician.

    In fact, it's not like that.

    People who have entered the Master's realm are considered half immortals, with qi of immortals born within their bodies.

    High-Level Magicians are still ordinary people and cannot stand up against a Master.

    The gap between them cannot be compared with ordinary things. Only like comparing fireflies with lights can give a sense of it.

    In simpler terms, the early stage of the Master's realm wants to kill the late stage of the High-Level Master, just as easy as eating or drinking.

    Of course, if a High-Level Magician late stage cultivator has powerful talismans or special methods, they may still have a chance to escape death in the early stage of the Master's realm.

    Even if it's like Chen Yun's control of the Rainbow Crystal Pagoda, it is not impossible to eliminate a Master.

    "I have the Zhou Tian Xingjian, and I fear no cultivator at the Master's level."

    At this moment, Shen Xiu didn't show any signs of insanity, and she appeared very normal. "Even if it's a human immortal level, if one isn't careful and gets trapped by the Zhou Tian Xingjian, they will be easily killed."

    Only when one reaches the Earth Immortal realm or higher can they not be afraid of the ability of Zhou Tian Xingjian to freeze their body.

    For example, Gouteng Daojie had once had a grudge with the previous owner of the Zhou Tian Xingjian, an elderly man named Bai Weng.

    Before he broke through to the Earth Immortal realm and let his soul leave the body, he was afraid to seek revenge on Bai Weng.

    It was not until Gouteng Daojie broke through to the Earth Immortal realm and let his soul leave the body that he sought revenge on Bai Weng, killing him and seizing this divine sword.

    This shows that the Zhou Tian Xingjian has absolute lethality for those below the Earth Immortal realm.

    Of course, the Zhou Tian Xingjian is not just capable of immobilizing people.

    It will release different degrees of starlight sword energy according to the strength of its master.

    Now that Shen Xiu is only at the late stage of the High-Level Magician, she can use the Zhou Tian Xingjian to release starlight sword energy that is comparable to a full-force attack by a cultivator in the middle stage of the Master's realm.

    If Gouteng Daojie were to use it, it could unleash the power of the Earth Immortal realm.

    Therefore, Shen Xiu has absolute confidence that as long as Chen Yun is separated from the others, she will be able to kill him again.

    However, after many days in Qingchen County, she had yet to see Chen Yun appear.

    "Continuing to wait, he can't possibly keep hiding in the Daifeng Peak forever."

    Although Shen Xiu has a bit of insanity, she really has a lot of patience.

    Just as she was about to immerse herself wholeheartedly in the "Star Constitution of Spiritual Essence,"

    Suddenly, Shen Xiu's "starlight" discovered a young man in a green robe who had emerged from the Daifeng Peak.

    It was Chen Yun!

    "Good!" Shen Xiu immediately ended her cultivation, gritting her teeth, "You little rascal finally came out! Watch me kill you!"

    After speaking, she snapped her fingers, and the Zhou Tian Xingjian immediately flew back behind her.

    It plunged into the sword sheath with a whoosh.

    Shen Xiu pushed the air with a thrust.

    The window of the guest room automatically opened.

    She put her hands behind her back, transformed into a beam of starlight, and blended into the natural surroundings, waving towards the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

    Chen Yun seemed to be unaware, leaving Qingcheng Mountain on a cloud.

    Shen Xiu followed closely behind, calculating the distance, ready to strike at any moment.

    One hundred li.

    "No, the distance is too close. The two master-level monsters and spiritual beasts in the opponent's temple can support instantly."

    Shen Xiu still hasn't attacked.

    Two hundred li.

    Shen Xiu watched Chen Yun's back as he was admiring the scenery at the summit, "The distance is still too close. I'll strike and kill him as soon as we go a bit further."

    She waited patiently for over an hour.

    As expected, Chen Yun once again left in a cloud towards the distance.

    Shen Xiu immediately followed, and it seemed she was about to reach the point where she could act.

    Suddenly, Chen Yun seemed to sense something and turned back to Qingcheng Mountain.

    Shen Xiu watched in disbelief as Chen Yun flew back to the Daifeng Peak.

    She floated among the clouds, her brow furrowing instantly as she muttered to herself, "Could it be that he detected me?"

    She felt that it shouldn't be like that.

    The uniqueness of the "Star Constitution of Spiritual Essence" means that unless one is at the true master level or higher, they should not be able to detect it.

    Since she didn't find an opportunity today, Shen Xiu could only continue to wait.

    She returned to the inn along the same route.

    She waited until deep into the night, but Chen Yun did not appear again.

    Shen Xiu thought that Chen Yun should not leave the Daifeng Peak today.

    She was about to sleep at that time.

    Who would have thought that Chen Yun would once again leave the Daifeng Peak on a cloud.

    "Hmm?" Shen Xiu found it rather strange, "So late at night, where is this little rascal going out to?"

    Despite being very puzzled by Chen Yun's actions, Shen Xiu didn't want to miss any opportunity to kill him, so she followed him again.

    The situation was almost the same as during the day.

    Shen Xiu chased after Chen Yun for over two hundred miles, watching as he stood in front of a great river and pondered for two hours.

    As the sky was about to dawn, Chen Yun returned to the mountain.

    Shen Xiu was utterly exasperated by Chen Yun, secretly cursing him: "You little rascal, do you have a mental breakdown? Not sleeping at night to come out and stare at the river?"

    With no opportunity to strike, she had no choice but to return to the inn once again.

    Who would have thought, before she could rest, Chen Yun once again went out...

    One day with two or three such outings, Shen Xiu was almost going insane.

    But being eager to find an opportunity, she couldn't possibly not follow.

    Then...

    Yes, it was exactly the same as before.

    Shen Xiu was tortured until noon, her spirit exhausted, and she returned to the inn once more.

    Unfortunately, she didn't get to sleep for long. Chen Yun left the Daifeng Peak once again like he had no fatigue.

    Shen Xiu wanted to curse at that moment!

    Days went by one after another.

    In just half a month, Shen Xiu followed Chen Yun a total of forty to fifty times.

    Because she had to track Chen Yun at least two or three times a day, Shen Xiu hardly got any rest.

    Just then, Shen Xiu saw Chen Yun leave the Daifeng Peak, looking disheveled and covered in stains on her clothes, and she nearly went crazy.

    "Fuck!" Shen Xiu gritted her teeth and swore, "Today, I won't let you go anywhere, no matter where you go. As long as there's a chance, I'll kill you!"

    She had thought that Chen Yun would do as he had in the past, stopping after riding on a cloud for two or three hundred miles.

    Who would have thought that Chen Yun today seemed to be heading somewhere, going straight towards the east and the sea.

    Shen Xiu saw hope for the first time, "Ha ha, you little rascal! Finally leaving Qingcheng Mountain alone, an opportunity has come!"

    She followed Chen Yun closely, not daring to relax for a moment.

    ...

    "Chen Yun"……or rather Chen Yun's essence, along with his day jing, quickly flew towards the East Sea.

    During this time, Chen Er was communicating with Chen Yun through their thoughts in the mysterious realm.

    "Master, has she followed us?"

    "Currently no signs have been found, but it is likely that she is following behind you."

    "Yes, I'll proceed as planned."

    "When we reach the East Sea, you pretend to stop and rest. At that time, she should try to kill you."

    "Understood, I know how to do it."

    Chen Er carefully looked down at the tiny insect in the palm of his hand.

    This is a transformation technique used by Chen Yun from the "Eight-Eight Spiritual Essence Technique."

    He knew that the woman in pink was extremely dangerous.

    To avoid taking unnecessary risks, he had Chen Er appear before the woman instead.

    Of course, Chen Yun has spent a lot of effort in cultivating his day jing as a manifestation, and naturally doesn't want to be killed.

    Therefore, he transformed into a small insect and hid in Chen Er's palm.

    If they encounter danger, such as Chen Er being immobilized by the woman with the starlight sword, he can take advantage of the opportunity to use the seven treasure tree to sweep the starlight sword away.

    As long as the starlight sword is removed, the woman in pink is no longer a threat.

    Soon, Chen Er rode on a cloud to the shore of the East Sea, where a massive mountain range lay.

    Chen Yun carefully observed the surroundings and found that this mountain range dominated the ocean, its might condensed over the sea. The cliff faces were strange and steep, with unusual peaks and rocks. There were ever-blooming magical grasses and flowers, evergreen pines and cypresses, surging waves of silver mountains where fish entered caves, and waves that flipped like snowy waves with qilin leaving the deep abyss.

    It's a beautiful scene of a mountain dominating the sea.

    However, Chen Yun did not have time to enjoy the scenery at this moment. He picked a good position for combat and secretly communicated with Chen Er, "Have you seen that small island in the middle of the sea?"

    Chen Er responded, "I've seen it."

    Chen Yun nodded, "That's an isolated island. It seems there are no living creatures there. We'll kill our enemies there."

    Chen Er replied, "Good!"

    With that, Chen Er's speed suddenly increased, and he plummeted straight down to the isolated island.

    As soon as he landed on the ground, the sky suddenly turned pitch black.

    Stars jumped onto the sky canvas.

    A vast and magnificent Milky Way.

    Suddenly appearing in the sky!

    Seeing this familiar scene.

    Chen Yun couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.

    Knowing that the woman has come!

    He silently swore to himself: Today, I will definitely avenge and repent!
