Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008

The man smiled grimly, his killing intent spreading as he played the role of Chi Fei. "Ancestor, it hasn’t been easy for me to survive. I’ve worked diligently over the years without ever letting up, not for a single day."

"Even though..." Ancestor Chi was about to say that with Chi Fei’s qualifications, it was impossible for him to accomplish anything significant.

But the man was already approaching him, like a poisonous snake. He whispered, "Ancestor, if it weren’t for the need to use you to stabilize the situation and pave the way for Xun in the future, I’d have killed you already."

"Therefore, stop putting on airs and speaking useless words, understood?"

The oppressive pressure made Ancestor Chi shiver, unable to utter another word. He nodded quickly.

Times had changed. Power now spoke louder than anything else. The once proud ancestor had become a person who had to carefully consider every move, acting according to the will of others.

After lecturing him, the man, seeing that Ancestor Chi was now terrified and respectful, felt a little more at ease.

Night had fallen. The man looked up at the moon and thought of the woman he longed for. He whispered affectionately, "Mianmian..."

Meanwhile, Siheng and Nanli had planned to stay in Mu Nation for a few more days, to reunite with their family.

However, the time to drink the chicken soup had come. Without any hesitation, Nanli decided to call a meeting with the Nether Sect to return to Jialan Celestial Mountain.

Naturally, Siheng would accompany her.

Shi Miaomiao had also been wandering around the Capital, captivated by the vibrant human world, though she didn’t find it overwhelming. Still, she was somewhat reluctant to leave. But as the head of her clan, she couldn’t linger for too long, so she decided to return with Nanli.

Upon arriving at Jialan Celestial Mountain, Yun Jianchu happily came to greet them. "I thought you had forgotten about the chicken soup. I was just about to use Telestone to remind you."

Nanli replied seriously, "How could such an important matter be forgotten?"

Seeing her impatience, Yun Jianchu quickly started preparing the soup.

While Nanli enjoyed the chicken soup in her room, her body, tongue, and stomach were all greatly satisfied. For now, she couldn’t focus on cultivation, so drinking chicken soup to nourish the child with spiritual energy was the best option.

Siheng, on the other hand, went to administer another acupuncture session for Qiao Nanyi. His condition had greatly improved, and Siheng, along with Qing Feng, took care of all the matters regarding the immortal mountain, leaving no loose ends.

After finishing his treatment, Siheng said, "You’ve been ambushed before, so you should take a good rest. Let Qing Feng handle the minor affairs for now."

Qiao Nanyi, feeling guilty, lowered his head and replied, "Celestial Sovereign, I couldn’t help much back then and nearly endangered the Madam. I feel deeply guilty. If I don’t do something now, I won’t be able to sleep at night."

Moreover, now that Seven Peaks Sect had joined the immortal mountain, there were many tasks to handle with the influx of new members. Qing Feng would not be able to take care of everything on his own.

Understanding his temperament, Siheng relented and allowed him to help.

"But this will be the last time I treat you today. Your body is now fully recovered and ready for cultivation," Siheng said. "There are only a few disciples left from the immortal mountain. Most of them were outer sect disciples. Pick a few of them to take under your wing and teach them well."

Qiao Nanyi nodded in agreement.

However, he continued, "But regarding Seven Peaks Sect... I think they intend to rebuild it. If so... they aren’t suited to stay at Jialan Celestial Mountain for long."

Every sect had its own rules.

Seven Peaks Sect could rely on Jialan for survival, but if they did, they would lose their own identity. In the future, when people saw a member of Seven Peaks Sect, they would only consider them as part of Jialan.

Siheng thought for a moment and agreed. After all, Seven Peaks Sect’s members had begun to recover. It was time to plan for the future.

Not wanting to waste any time, Siheng waited until Nanli finished her soup and then called a meeting with the key people at Joy Spring Platform to discuss the matter.

Li Changyun, the sect master, spoke first without needing Siheng’s prompting. "Celestial Sovereign, I’ve just decided with my junior brother that it’s not appropriate for us to stay at Jialan Celestial Mountain. Now that the disciples’ injuries have improved, we should find a new location to rebuild Seven Peaks Sect."

The original Seven Peaks Sect had been a great place with the protection of the Sky Net Formation. However, it had been destroyed, and the seven peaks no longer existed. Returning to that place was useless.

Siheng nodded slightly to acknowledge the decision.

Cinian admired Li Changyun and the others’ ambition. If it were anyone else, they might have chosen to merge with Jialan Celestial Mountain.

Rebuilding a sect would take at least three to five hundred years. And with Yun Yubai involved...

It would be difficult for Seven Peaks Sect to recruit any new disciples.

Cinian asked with concern, "Sect Master Li, have you found a suitable place yet?"

Apart from Jialan Celestial Mountain, which remained standing, many other sects had been destroyed or scattered. The territory of the Immortal World had changed.

Now, it could be summarized in one sentence: a person’s strength determined their territory.

Seven Peaks Sect, with Yun Yubai’s presence, would not have trouble finding a good place.

Siheng glanced at Yun Yubai and said, "How about selecting a mountain peak near Jialan? It would still provide some protection."

However, Yun Yubai rejected the idea outright. "Celestial Sovereign, there’s no need. If we choose a peak near Jialan, it would be better to stay here."

Siheng frowned slightly but didn’t insist.

During these few days, Nanli had been busy reuniting with her family, but she hadn’t been idle. Her eyes brightened as she suggested, "Why not head to Human World? There is a place in Lian State, with continuous mountain peaks, perfect for setting up the Sky Net Formation."

"What? Set up the Sky Net Formation again?" Li Changyun’s face fell. "The Sky Net Formation was created by the first Sect Master of Seven Peaks Sect. Over the years, the formation manuals have long been lost."

However, the Sky Net Formation had already been set up, and it was incredibly profound. The disciples of Seven Peaks Sect had been able to use it for generations. If their sect hadn’t been destroyed, they would never have left that place.

Nanli, however, took out a notebook with a smile in her eyes.

She said, "I visited Seven Peaks Sect earlier and figured out the key points of the Sky Net Formation. I’ve documented everything in detail. You can take a look and see if anything is wrong."

This surprised Li Changyun and Yun Yubai.

They exchanged a look of shock.

It was Yun Yubai who stepped forward and took the notebook from Nanli. He and Li Changyun flipped through it, moving from disbelief to astonishment. Their hands trembled more, and their expressions grew increasingly excited.

"Is this really the Sky Net Formation?" Li Changyun exclaimed.

Li Changyun was a Talisman Cultivator. He had studied the Sky Net Formation through the records of his predecessors but had never fully understood certain aspects. But Nanli had figured out the difficult parts, even marking the missing details.

Even Yun Yubai was filled with admiration, his eyes moist as he looked at Nanli. "Thank you."

The Sky Net Formation was the foundation of Seven Peaks Sect, and Nanli had truly helped them a great deal.

The two of them wanted to kneel in gratitude, but Yun Jianchu, who was in a hurry, tried to stop them. However, Siheng raised his hand, signaling for them not to kneel further.

Nanli continued, "The reason I want you to go to Lian State is not entirely selfless. Now that the Human World has regained spiritual energy, there may be some troublesome beings in the future. I hope Seven Peaks Sect can protect the people of that area."

"Of course!" Li Changyun immediately agreed. "Seven Peaks Sect’s founding rule is to adhere to the right path and protect the common people. Even if you hadn’t asked, we would have done so!"
