The affairs of the world were unpredictable. Yi Yun felt mixed emotions when he heard the Seven Star Dao Palace's Palatial Lord's recount of the past.
In the history of the 12 Empyrean Heavens, there were numerous geniuses who were high-spirited and famous for a period of time. But in the end, they were unable to defeat their fate. Eventually, they were reduced to skeletons on the martial path.
The old Palatial Lord was one such person. After experiencing all sorts of storms and ups and downs, he had even seen through his own fate. Naturally, he did not care about the fate of the Seven Star Dao Palace. Everything was predestined.
"Brother Yi, are we … going back …?"
Jian Xiaoshuang asked hesitantly. She only knew that Yi Yun and the Seven Star Dao Palace's Palatial Lord had exchanged blows for a short while without a clear victor. However, she did not know what the two had talked about.
"Let's go back. The Seven Star Dao Palace will not cause trouble for the Clarity Pool Sword Sect in the future."
Although the Seven Star Dao Palace had been destroyed, Yi Yun did not feel any joy. The old Palatial Lord's words made Yi Yun recall many things of the past.
Other than Azure Yang Lord, the mighty figures he knew of included the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner, who was even more powerful than Azure Yang Lord, as well as the mysterious divine alchemist who reigned supreme in the Sinkhole. Countless warriors would offer all sorts of treasured herbs to him for his refinement …
These people had already passed away.
Yi Yun believed that if he did not perish in the future, he would definitely have great accomplishments. He might even surpass these mighty figures of the past.
However, if he could not escape fate, he would eventually turn to dust. Unless he could shatter Samsara and achieve the legendary Great Dao of Eternal Life, he would never die …
However, it was unknown if anyone had ever achieved that since ancient times.
These thoughts flashed through Yi Yun's mind as he recalled the long-haired, black-dressed woman he had met in the Azure Wood Great World. Perhaps, among all the peerless experts he had met, she was the only one who was closest to that legendary realm …
When Yi Yun returned to the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, the news of the Seven Star Dao Palace's destruction quickly spread through the Dao Palace disciples that had escaped Seven Star Mountain.
They knew that Yi Yun, who had disappeared for a year, had stormed Seven Star Mountain and destroyed the Seven Star Dao Palace!
Yi Yun's reputation had already spread before this. Everyone knew that Yi Yun was the strongest person amongst the younger generation and that his strength exceeded Jian Xiaoshuang's.
However, that was all. When people heard that Yi Yun had offended the Seven Star Dao Palace and that even the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was implicated, many believed that Yi Yun would be killed by the Seven Star Dao Palace and that the Clarity Pool Sword Sect would be destroyed. However, no one expected that such ridiculous news would spread a year later.
At first, everyone thought that it was just a rumor. However, when someone went to the Seven Star Mountain to investigate, they saw that the Seven Star Mountain was a scorched land. The disciples were either gone or scattered. There was almost no one left in the sect.
They had no choice but to believe it.
Yi Yun was so young, so how could he have such powerful strength? He could even defeat experts of the older generation. This was enough to affect the entire situation in the Central State Divine Territory.
Furthermore, Yi Yun was terrifyingly young!
It was rumored that his cultivation time was only about 60 years. His future prospects were simply unimaginable. Becoming a Divine Lord was nothing!
The Central State Divine Territory was originally considered a tiny divine territory in the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. It did not have much of a presence, but tens of millions of years ago, the Azure Yang Lord's birth made it into the limelight.
And after that, the Central State Divine Territory did not produce another Divine Lord.
To the sects in the Central State Divine Territory, a Divine Lord was unimaginable. At that realm, destroying a sect with a raise of the hand was no different from plucking a blade of grass.
Instantly, the various factions in the Central State Divine Territory turned nervous. Many of them had some friction with Yi Yun. As a result, they could not eat or sleep in peace. They constantly wished to mend their relationship with Yi Yun.
They could not meet Yi Yun in person, nor could they go to the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. Therefore, the insignificant Divine Secrets Trading Company received extremely good treatment because of Yi Yun.
When Old Man Ji brought Ji Shuiyan back to Jade Luster City to rebuild the Divine Secrets Trading Company, more than ten sects sent hundreds of experts to celebrate the reopening of the Divine Secrets Trading Company.
Old Man Ji did not send out many invitations, so when the hundreds of people came uninvited, with the lowest cultivation level being at the Dao Palace realm, the people from the Divine Secrets Trading Company were somewhat dumbfounded.
They had no choice but to add dozens of new tables, but even so, there were large numbers of itinerant warriors. Due to various reasons, they surrounded the Divine Secrets Trading Company's entrance. There was no place to sit. Instantly, a tiny faction like the Divine Secrets Trading Company became the focus of attention in the Sun Burial Sandsea.
As for the Bloodlust Sect, they learned a few days ago that when the Divine Secrets Trading Company was destroyed by the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, Yan Tiancong had abducted more than ten beautiful girls from the Divine Secrets Trading Company. He was planning on offering them to one of their Bloodlust Sect disciples. This gave the Bloodlust Sect a huge fright!
Only then did they learn that Young Master Blood Jade, who had gone missing a year ago, had been killed by Yi Yun.
The Bloodlust Sect was a heretical sect to begin with. They were extremely protective of their disciples, and anyone who killed their disciples would end up fighting to the death. However, since Yi Yun had killed them, they did not dare seek revenge. Not only did they not dare seek revenge, they even brought generous gifts to the Divine Secrets Trading Company as an apology.
The person leading the group was the Bloodlust Sect's deputy sect master. A figure of such high standing had personally visited Old Man Ji.
After the Bloodlust Sect, the Heaven Secrets Chapter came as well.
The Heaven Secrets Chapter, which had made Old Man Ji leave with a grudge, had been labeled as a traitor. Now, the new sect master had personally come to apologize. He indicated that as long as Old Man Ji was willing, he could return to the sect as a Grand Elder. The Heaven Secrets Chapter similarly sent generous gifts, but they refused to mention the matter of the mother-child Heaven Secrets Compass …
Upon seeing the congratulatory gifts from more than ten sects that were enough to buy the entire Divine Secrets Trading Company several times over, Old Man Ji felt mixed emotions.
The Divine Secrets Trading Company had only a tiny connection with Yi Yun, but it was enough to make a large faction like the Bloodlust Sect tremble in fear. It made the Heaven Secrets Chapter, which had a grudge with him for many years, act like a grandson. Yi Yun's current high standing was unimaginable.
As for the grand opening banquet, Yi Yun did not even appear.
Old Man Ji knew that these factions had come to the Divine Secrets Trading Company with the hope of meeting Yi Yun and trying their luck to establish a relationship with him. However, Yi Yun had been staying in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect for the past few months.
Many factions had gathered in the vicinity of Clarity Pool Mountain, hoping to meet Yi Yun. However, they could not enter the mountain, so they could only give up.
"Young Master Yi mentioned a few days ago that he might leave in a few months."
Ji Shuiyan stayed by her grandfather's side. She looked at the bustling scene in front of her. Despite seeing the Divine Secrets Trading Company at its zenith, she could not feel happy at all.
Yi Yun was ultimately leaving.
Back in the Sun Burial Sandsea, Ji Shuiyan had saved Yi Yun. As a result, they had an affinity with each other. But in a few months, their affinity might be over.
Ji Shuiyan knew that she might not have the chance to meet Yi Yun in the future. This left her feeling especially sad.
"Everyone has their own fate. He stands at such a lofty position. It's already our great fortune to be able to meet him."
Old Man Ji sighed. Yi Yun had left the Divine Secrets Trading Company a large number of pills and heritage cultivation techniques. He had used the mother-child Heaven Secrets Compass to indicate the location of the Yang spirit, as well as the jade burial suit. But in fact, what Yi Yun had given the Ji family far exceeded what Old Man Ji had given Yi Yun.
