When Gu Han returned to the main hall of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, the hall was quiet.
She did not summon anyone, nor did she continue to refine the Donghuang Bell.
She just sat there quietly, her gaze passing through the window lattice, looking towards the distant, dark green mountains, her eyes exceptionally complex.
Immortal Ascension remnant soul, void node, Ten Directions World...
These pieces of information intertwined, like a slowly unfolding star map filled with the unknown and mystery.
"Master Mother!"
A crisp, childish voice, filled with joy and reliance, broke the silence of the main hall.
Little Ah Yao ran in quickly from outside the hall, opening her small arms and pouncing to Gu Han's side.
She looked up with her small face, her large eyes sparkling, "Master Mother, did you go out again?"
Gu Han lowered her head, looking at Ah Yao's small face, which was slightly flushed from running.
The complex thoughts in her heart caused by contemplating the future were instantly washed away by a warm current.
She leaned over, picked up the little one, placed her on her lap, and gently pinched her soft cheeks.
"Master just went out to teach a bad guy a lesson!"
"Bad... bad guy?"
Ah Yao tilted her little head, her face full of confusion.
Looking at Ah Yao's purely confused little face, she just gently rubbed Ah Yao's head.
"Yes, a very, very bad guy, but Master has already dealt with him."
Her tone was relaxed, as if she really had just dealt with a trivial matter, "Was Ah Yao good today? Did you Cultivate properly?"
"Ah Yao was very good!"
Ah Yao immediately puffed out her small chest and counted on her fingers, "In the morning, I ate the sweet Medicinal Pill given by Elder Yun, then went to the edge of the Yaochi to watch the fish for a while, talked to the fish for a while, and then... then... right!"
"Today I also practiced the Primordial Immortal Scripture that Master Mother taught me! But it doesn't seem to be of any use..."
As she spoke, her voice grew quieter, and a trace of dejection appeared on her small face.
She was currently only at the Peak of Qi Refining, and although Master Mother and the Elders all said she was still young and didn't need to rush to Cultivate.
But she watched as those Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters could fly and perform all kinds of powerful techniques, and her heart was filled with yearning.
How could Gu Han not see through the little one's thoughts?
Ah Yao's Physique was special; her true form was a wisp of immortal soul, plus the immortal body she had molded for her using nine heavens breathing soil, her starting point and potential far exceeded ordinary people.
But precisely because of this, her growth cycle and way of Cultivation were completely different from others.
Gu Han looked at Ah Yao's dejected little face and couldn't help but chuckle, scraping her little nose: "Silly Ah Yao, who said that Cultivation must be done by sitting in meditation and circulating Qi like others?"
Ah Yao blinked her large eyes: "But... Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are all like that."
Gu Han held Ah Yao more securely and patiently explained: "Ah Yao is different from them."
"The 'Primordial Immortal Scripture' has already merged with you, running on its own every moment, breathing in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."
She paused, her fingertip lightly tapping the center of Ah Yao's eyebrows, a wisp of gentle Spiritual Qi entering: "You don't feel any obvious changes because the Spiritual Qi is nourishing your Foundation."
"When your Foundation reaches Perfection, you will naturally soar into the sky. Now, well..."
Gu Han deliberately drew out her voice, watching as Ah Yao curiously widened her eyes. "Now, Ah Yao only needs to eat Spirit Fruit every day and talk to the fish in the Yaochi, and that is 'Cultivating'."
"Re... really?"
Ah Yao's eyes instantly lit up; she had a natural trust in Gu Han's words, "But, Ah Yao also really wants to become powerful quickly and help Master Mother fight bad guys..."
As she spoke, she also forcefully waved her little fist. Her childish words carried the most sincere intentions.
Gu Han rubbed her little head, her voice soft and full of certainty, "Our Ah Yao will definitely become very, very powerful in the future!"
"Really? That's great!"
Ah Yao happily rubbed against Gu Han's embrace, then immediately remembered something, and a trace of worry appeared on her small face. "Master Mother, will Second Junior Sister, Third Junior Sister, and Fourth Junior Sister... come back safely?" "Ah Yao heard that the Secret Realm is very dangerous..."
"They will be back very soon." Gu Han comforted her.
"Mm-hmm!" Ah Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but soon clenched her little fist again, saying seriously: "When Ah Yao becomes very, very powerful, I also want to be like the Junior Sisters and go into the Secret Realm to find treasures!"
Looking at her cute little appearance, Gu Han couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, Yun Yun's voice came from outside the hall: "Palace Master, the Grand Elder has returned to the Immortal Palace with the Disciples and is waiting for orders outside the hall."
