"What about us?" Xi ili suddenly asked, referring to herself and Liya, as they were both dragons.
Kelan gave her a stiff smile. “To be honest, I'm not sure. I do have a few non-human friends I could reach out to, but I can't promise anything. Do you know of any place where you could train?"
Xi ili fell silent to ponder, and after a minute of silence, she said, "I do have a place in mind... but I'm not sure they'll be okay with it."
Kelan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is this place?"
“The Holy Dragon Clan. I trained with them for so ti when I went there with Yuan, and I really enjoyed it. If it weren't for the Celestial Emperor, I would've stayed there to train a little longer."
In truth, Xi ili wanted to stay behind with the Holy Dragon Clan at the Dragon Spiral Mountain, but after what happened to them, she felt that it would be inappropriate for her to linger, so she ultimately decided to leave with Yuan.
“The Holy Dragon Clan, huh? In that case, I think it would be for the best if you personally reached out to them."
"Aren't they the ones at the Dragon Spiral Mountain?" Liya asked after recalling their na.
Xi ili nodded, "That's right. You saw them right after arriving in the Nine Heavens." Liya recalled the mountain of corpses she saw and asked, "Do you think I can co with you?"
"Of course. It was already my intention to bring you along."
Kelan spoke a mont later, "I'l contact the others imdiately, but it might take so ti for a response. You can do whatever in the anti.”
Once their eting concluded, the mbers of the Demon Sealing Faction returned to their living quarters to rest. Many of them decided to log out of Cultivation Online to train their real bodies on Earth.
After logging out, ixiu left her room to visit Yu Rou and the Eternal Lotuses, who had risen to beco the second-strongest faction on Earth.
“It's been a while, Senior Sister ixiu."
As she passed through, the mbers of the Eternal Lotuses bowed their heads, greeting her with utmost respect.
Although ixiu wasn't officially part of their faction, she often visited to train them. The other mbers of the Demon Sealing Faction would also stop by from ti to ti, but with everyone following their own schedules, it had beco rare for them all to gather together.
"Are you here to train us today, or are you here for Senior Sister Yu Rou?"
The mbers approached her and asked.
“I'm here for Yu Rou today. I'l train with you all next week," she said.
"Okay!"
lxiu arrived at their courtyard a few minutes later, where at the center stood a tall, beautiful woman instructing a group of younger girls.
The woman had long, silky black hair and warm brown eyes. Her very presence radiated a natural grace that drew people to her.
“Your posture is wrong. Move your hip a little to the right and straighten your back so more!"
“Yes, Senior Sister Yu!"
The woman was none other than Yu Rou.
ixiu didn't disturb their training and waited for them to be done.
An hour later—"Okay, we will end our training here today. We'll continue next week at the sa ti. You are all dismissed."
As the group of females dispersed, Yu Rou approached ixiu with a calm smile, "It's been two years, ixiu. How have you been?"
“I just finished my journey and have returned to Kelan's sect for now. What about you?" “The sa as usual. Training the newbies. Is it just your group that's returned?"
“The others have returned as well. Everyone is safe and sound."
“That's good to hear."
Knowing that Yu Rou will ask about Yuan, ixiu ntioned him first, "Unfortunately, Yuan is still away," she said.
“Is that s0? Can't say I'm surprised,” Yu Rou replied with a bittersweet smile.
“You shouldn't be too hard on him."
“I would have been a little sad or lonely. I know he has a lot on his plate, but it's been nearly twenty years since I last saw his face. If you consider the other tis he's been absent and how long we've been alive, it's about half of our lifeti."
“I know how it feels, but trust , it will get better."
“I know. Anyway, what are you going to do now that you've returned?"
“I'm going to rest a little before I continue my training at another place." ixiu proceeded to tell Yu Rou about Kelan's plans for the Demon Sealing Faction.
"So you guys will be doing your own things separately, huh? It makes sense, considering you all have your own talents and path.”
Soti later, another presence approached them.
"Hello, Sister Lianhua."
"Hey, ixiu." Bai Lianhua returned the greeting. "Mind if I join?"
"No, go ahead."
Bai Lianhua sat down beside them, and the three of them started chatting. After ixiu recalled the end of her training journey, Bai Lianhua spoke about the Eternal Lotuses and Earth's overall situation.
Ever since Yuan opened the gateway between Earth and the Nine Heavens, flooding the world with spiritual energy, cultivators on Earth had advanced at a pace unlike anything before. Yet, no matter how far their cultivation rose, they soon discovered they could only wield the strength of a Spirit Grandmaster.
This ant that even Spirit King cultivators on Earth were no stronger than a Spirit Grandmaster. Since Yuan secretly created the formation that limited everyone's cultivation, nobody but the Demon Sealing Faction knew the cause of this phenonon. Thus, much like the phenonon of Cultivation Online, no one questioned it, choosing instead to continue their lives as usual.
However, ixiu knew that things would not remain this way forever and that they needed another solution sooner or later. (More chapters in Buyers club for TMT)
