Chapter 692 - 631: Reaching the Summit 40
The reason why Shuangshuang said she hoped Feiyu could hatch the Illusion Butterfly Eggs by the time she returned was that this Secret Realm journey would take three years.
The rule of this Secret Realm is that once you enter, the trial lasts for three years. However, manually hatching the Illusion Butterfly Eggs only takes two years, which is why Shuangshuang mentioned it.
Upon hearing that Shuangshuang was leaving, and that she implied it would be a long time before she could return, Feiyu became anxious. "Sister Shuangshuang, where are you going? Can I go with you?"
Going to the Secret Realm wasn’t something that needed to be kept a secret, so Shuangshuang directly told Feiyu. After hearing it, Feiyu understood he couldn’t follow her.
He lowered his head, feeling a bit down, and said, "Sister Shuangshuang, once you come out of the Secret Realm, you’ll be joining the Wuji Sect to become a disciple. Then you’ll enter the Inner Sect directly for cultivation, and I won’t be able to see you anymore."
Shuangshuang comfortingly patted Feiyu’s lowered head, gently encouraging him, "Feiyu, you have a good aptitude. You’re a rare talent even outside. Focus on completing the Three Revolutions Body Shaping Technique, then come to Wuji Sect to apprentice, and we siblings will meet again."
"Oh, right!" Hearing this, the previously dejected Feiyu perked up. He had forgotten that he could also join the Wuji Sect. As long as he entered the Wuji Sect, he could be with Sister Shuangshuang again.
Feiyu immediately patted his small chest, promising Shuangshuang, "Sister Shuangshuang, don’t worry. I’ll work hard on my cultivation this time, aiming to reunite with you in the Inner Sect of Wuji Sect in the future."
Feiyu had always been a lively child, often giving the impression of not taking things seriously. But this time, his tone was extremely earnest, and his beautiful face, much like a lovely maiden’s, was filled with seriousness. His eyes were tightly fixed on Shuangshuang, filled with anticipation.
Shuangshuang didn’t disappoint Feiyu’s expectations, nodding with a smile, "I believe you can do it. Sister will be waiting for you in Wuji Sect."
After speaking, Shuangshuang carefully took out some top-grade spiritual pills from her Space Bracelet that could aid in cultivation. Then, after some thought, she added ten low-grade spiritual stones and handed these items to Feiyu.
"Feiyu, these are some top-grade elixirs that the second grandfather who came to pick me up gave as a meeting gift, meant for cultivation. You know I don’t usually like using pills to cultivate. They’re more suited for you, along with these spiritual stones. Keep them and don’t spend them recklessly until necessary."
Shuangshuang had given thought to this. Si Kaojing, being the Second Elder of the Wuji Sect, received a substantial amount of resources annually. Even without inheriting ancient great powers’ wealth, he was quite lavish, possessing countless treasures.
As a junior, Shuangshuang was given some top-grade pills and a few dozen low-grade spiritual stones as a greeting gift by her elder when picked up. Although generous, it was not considered excessive and wouldn’t attract undue attention.
Feiyu blushed slightly and said, "Sister, you’ve already given me so many things, and these were given to you by the Second Elder. You need them for cultivation too. Top-grade pills are rare; you should keep them for yourself."
Shuangshuang laughed and stuffed the items into Feiyu’s hands, "What’s mine or yours? I’m your sister. Whatever I give you, you take it. If you’re really going to be so meticulous with me, then should I not have taken all those things Uncle and Aunt gave preferentially to me over the years? Are you trying to be distant from me?"
"Of course not!" Feiyu replied anxiously at first but then relaxed upon seeing Shuangshuang’s gentle smile, finally accepting the items with a smile. There was truly no need for any distance between him and Shuangshuang.
From childhood to adulthood, Sister Shuangshuang was like another mother to him. She oversaw his cultivation and was the first to help solve his cultivation problems. His pocket money and cultivation resources often came from Shuangshuang.
He kept all the kindness Shuangshuang showed him in mind and always thought of repaying her. That was enough. Often, gratitude doesn’t need to be spoken; it should be proven through future actions.
After bidding farewell to Feiyu, who was reluctant to part and vowed to enter the Wuji Sect Inner Sect as quickly as possible, Shuangshuang then took Fei Hu and quickly set off to find Si Kaojing.
Being the Second Elder of the Wuji Sect, a major sect, Si Kaojing naturally had his transportation tool provided by the sect, which is a benefit for those at the elder level in the sect.
Si Kaojing’s means of transportation was a beautifully crafted Flying Heaven Palace. This Flying Heaven Palace had three floors, with intricately carved beams and lavish decorations, surpassing even the Tan Family’s Flying Tower Ship in elegance.
The palace also had a courtyard, featuring many exquisite flowers and plants. In one corner of the yard was a Spirit Fruit Tree in full bloom, with branches and leaves interwoven, shading most of the courtyard.
Beneath the blossoming tree was a pool of clear spring water, with blooming lotuses and small fish with colorful tails playing amid the lotus leaves. Near the water, there were tables and chairs made of White Jade. On the table were a chessboard and tea set made of even finer jade.
Although this was mainly a traveling palace, it was also very suitable for those cultivators who’d reached a bottleneck period and preferred a leisurely life to comprehend the Heart Realm. In fact, this palace was originally designed for both travel and residence.
Furthermore, the palace’s surroundings were inscribed with extremely advanced arrays. As long as these arrays were powered by Spiritual Pearls and Spirit Stones, they could fend off attacks from enemies of the Martial King level without breaking.
Although Shuangshuang was headed towards the Secret Realm, she first had to ride the Flying Heaven Palace with Si Kaojing to Wuji Sect. After rendezvousing with those waiting to enter the Secret Realm at Wuji Sect, she’d then proceed to the Secret Realm entrance under the guidance of the Wuji Sect elders to enter the Secret Realm together.
Wuji Sect was not close to the Tan Family. The speed of the Flying Heaven Palace was more than twice that of the Tan Family’s Flying Tower Ship. Even so, it would still take nearly ten days to reach Wuji Sect via the Flying Heaven Palace.
Throughout the journey, Shuangshuang kept herself occupied. It was said that Si Kaojing was a late-stage Martial King and was on the verge of breaking through to become a Grandmaster realm powerhouse.
With such an advanced cultivator by her side, who was also a family elder and favored her, not seizing the opportunity to inquire about cultivation challenges would indeed be foolish.
Shuangshuang was certainly no fool, so during the journey, she cultivated daily and inquired about all the questions she couldn’t understand. Si Kaojing patiently answered and guided her. Indeed, the guidance of a Martial King expert was incredibly valuable.
