Xue Ya lay on her side on the Dao Platform, her long hair falling down, her pair of round, slightly glowing jade-like long legs exposed outside the slits of the Daoist Robe. Her bosom was unrestrained, cascading like overlapping discs.
She kept her eyes closed, seemingly in repose.
But in reality, she was simulating the war situation in her mind. She appeared carefree, yet was not "idle." Ever since representing Wangxian Pavilion and coming to this Taiping Continent’s Fallen Immortal Land at Suspended City, she had hardly rested for a mont, either simulating the war situation or investigating the causes of its acceleration.
After a while, she opened her eyes, a trace of puzzlent spreading across her brow,
"Is it like this again?"
Lately, over this past month, she discovered that the war situation, which had been constantly accelerating, had surprisingly slowed down suddenly. The True Demons from the depths of the Fallen Immortal Land were generally below Form Synthesis, not only not becoming stronger but even weakening a bit, making it much easier for the warriors at Suspended City to cope.
This certainly went against the trend of changes in the war situation.
The Fallen Immortal Land of Taiping Continent itself had been the place where the war situation accelerated fastest, far quicker than the other twenty Fallen Immortal Lands, but now, it had beco the slowest one. This seed like good news, but Xue Ya knew very well that anything that broke conventional wisdom and transcended historical patterns could bring about significant changes.
But whether this change was good or bad was beyond discussion.
As the chief strategist of Suspended City, she had the responsibility to figure out what exactly caused this change in the war situation at the Fallen Immortal Land.
A young Daoist announced from outside, "Celestial Venerable Youxuan, soone seeks an audience outside Suspended City."
Xue Ya straightened her posture, a duster swept past her elbow, and imdiately the space before the Daoist Palace rippled, revealing a Dao Platform adorned with gold and jade. On the Dao Platform stood two people, Fu Manman and Gu Lan.
Upon seeing the visitors, the confusion in Xue Ya’s eyes instantly dissolved, and she bead a radiant smile,
"I thought you couldn’t bear to co see ."
Fu Manman perford a Daoist salute, chuckling lightly, "Celestial Venerable Youxuan has heavy responsibilities, how could this junior disturb you at will?"
Xue Ya crossed her legs, her body tilting, causing the Daoist Robe to slip off her shoulder, revealing most of her snowy skin, "Then that ans you’ve co with so business."
Gu Lan, seeing Xue Ya’s deanor, was taken aback. Her face turned red at once, hurriedly averting her gaze, thinking repeatedly in her heart how soone could be so bold, showing such a deanor before outsiders!
Xue Ya looked at Gu Lan, sweeping her golden dyed fringe behind her ear, her smile deepened,
"Who is this beautiful, elegant young lady?"
A thread of helplessness flashed across Fu Manman’s brows; she knew Celestial Venerable Youxuan was likely teasing Senior Sister Gu Lan. When she first joined Wangxian Pavilion, she too had been teased, but fortunately, this Celestial Venerable had no particular fondness for won, usually teasing people just like adults teasing children. She had also heard "legendary stories" of this Celestial Venerable from Zhu Zixuan.
Celestial Venerable Youxuan was a free-spirited person. Whoever attracted her, regardless of the other’s status, whether they had a Daoist companion, even if they were a mortal, she would try in every way to pursue them. But if she wasn’t interested, she wouldn’t even bother, even if faced with a Dao Ancestor or Literary Ancestor.
Fu Manman had also obtained another piece of information from Zhu Zixuan. That Celestial Venerable Youxuan had once had intentions towards Fan Wubing. Hearing this for the first ti startled her. In her understanding, Celestial Venerable Youxuan was exactly the type Wubing liked, with a voluptuous figure, slender waist, long legs, and beautiful feet.
Learning that Celestial Venerable Youxuan didn’t succeed, and instead had her carefree advances ignored, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Manman knew that before soone of Celestial Venerable Youxuan’s caliber, the simple and reserved Senior Sister Gu Lan was certainly not a match.
She stepped forward, introducing standing in front of Gu Lan, "This is Gu Lan from East Continent He Yue Village, also my senior sister at the Eternal Immortal Sect. Senior Sister Gu often cultivates Spirit Plants and Immortal Spirit Beasts in the fields, rarely interacting with others, so Celestial Venerable Youxuan, please don’t bully her."
Xue Ya laughed, "Little Sister Fu, you make sound like a rogue woman." She glanced at Gu Lan behind Fu Manman, "So you are the renowned Gu Feng Immortal."
Gu Lan felt that as a senior sister, there was no reason to be protected by a junior sister. She was not timid, but it was the first ti she encountered soone like Xue Ya; she was a little frightened by her bold behavior and words.
After slightly adjusting, she returned to normal,
"Gu Lan, disciple of He Yue Village, greets Celestial Venerable Youxuan."
Xue Ya waved her duster, seating the two, "I really am curious about what kind of place Eternal Immortal Sect is, able to produce so many outstanding disciples in the sa generation." Her eyes shone with wonder.
It wasn’t just her who was curious; quite a few people were intrigued by this matter.
Counting them up, in this generation, the Eternal Immortal Sect successively produced three figures of great stature: Fan Wubing, Fu Manman, and Gu Lan.
Fan Wubing needs no ntion, an erstwhile sensation throughout the world, the things he did couldn’t simply qualify as the achievents of an "outstanding youth"; not even the majority of old monsters could achieve them.
Fu Manman, at twenty, beca a Human World Executor Dao of Wangxian Pavilion and the new Little Freedom Official of White Jade Capital. At twenty-five, she passed her first Heavenly Tribulation, and at thirty, attained the position of Celestial Venerable. White Jade Capital holds her in high regard, having yet to give her a title, planning to decide it during the Human Dao Assembly.
Gu Lan, the Farr Feng Immortal. The title of Farr Feng Immortal is given to those who erect monuntal achievents with actual contributions to the world. Before her, the youngest Farr Feng Immortal obtained the position at the age of five hundred and thirty-two. She directly reset this record at fifty-five, likely setting a precedent unmatched by those before or after her.
