At the foot of the mountain, Huo Xing’Er watched as the Divine Punishnt Brush was about to complete its final stroke, and she braced herself. However, just as the confining array drawn by the Divine Punishnt Brush was on the verge of completion, she fainted. She had just struck a pose to flee, with the Divine Punishnt Brush about to finish its last stroke...
「Far away in the Illusion Sect, Ji Youyuan was talking to Ji Youbo.」
"Counting the days, Second Brother should have received my letter many days ago," Ji Youyuan said. "He should be on his way to the Illusion Sect by now. His fate is rather star-crossed; who knows how many tribulations he’ll have to endure to reach the Illusion Sect on his own!"
Ji Youyuan had just finished speaking when Ji Youbo, who was still pushing his wheelchair from behind, quickly understood his implied aning.
"I’ll go down the mountain in a while to et Second Brother halfway! By the way, Big Brother, I’ve rummaged through the entire Weapon Warehouse in the Illusion Sect these past few days, but I just can’t find a suitable weapon. What do you think I should do? I also don’t know what that black stone was that suddenly fell from the sky the other day. Just one hit, and it dented my blade."
"..."
Ji Youbo spoke while pushing Ji Youyuan forward, but after he finished, he received no response from his big brother for a long while.
"Big Brother!" Ji Youbo called out to Ji Youyuan in confusion. The response was Ji Youyuan’s head suddenly slumping. Ji Youbo’s expression changed drastically in alarm. His shout of "Big Brother!" startled the entire Illusion Sect.
However, there was no response from Ji Youyuan. Instead, the elders of the Illusion Sect took turns checking his pulse, performing acupuncture, and pinching his philtrum.
The result was that Ji Youyuan remained motionless, as if his soul had been spirited away!
「In the Dream Realm, Xiaosuisui, fearing a repeat of what happened with Ji Youran, had Ah Ling set up a barrier around the Lotus Pond.」 Only after ensuring that no one besides herself and Ah Ling could enter the Lotus Pond did she feel at ease pulling Huo Xing’Er’s and Ji Youyuan’s Divine Souls in.
"Where is this?"
Huo Xing’Er suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar place and imdiately beca vigilant. She pinched her fingers together as if performing a quick divination for fortune and misfortune.
Once she finished her calculation, her brow smoothed, and she was overjoyed. A reunion with an old acquaintance! Could it be that so esteed senior secretly intervened to save and Suisui?
There were no esteed seniors, but it was true that misfortune had turned into good fortune!
Just then, she heard Lady Ji’s voice. Huo Xing’Er turned and saw it was indeed Lady Ji.
"Mother! How are you here? Shouldn’t you be in the Guest Courtyard at Qixia Temple? Do you know where this is?"
Before Lady Ji could answer Huo Xing’Er’s question, Ji Youyuan entered.
"Where is this? Is anyone here?"
Ji Youyuan had been talking to Ji Youbo in the Illusion Sect when drowsiness suddenly overca him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in another unfamiliar place.
This place is wreathed in mist and exquisitely beautiful, he thought. It doesn’t seem like Mortal Dust. Could I be dreaming that I’ve entered so part of the Celestial Realm?
"Is anyone there?"
Ji Youyuan called out tentatively a few tis, but no one replied. Just as he concluded there was no one around, a familiar "Eldest Brother!" reached his ears.
Ji Youyuan stood frozen, staring at the two people before him in disbelief.
"Mother! Second Sister-in-law! You... how are you two here?"
This was a question Huo Xing’Er also wanted to ask. She didn’t speak, instead shifting her gaze to Lady Ji.
Seeing her expression, Ji Youyuan had a sudden realization. "Mother! Do... do you know where we are?"
