Days like this passed by in the blink of an eye. Half a year had passed.

In this half a year, the people of Hua Country Taoist sects, under great pressure, made rapid progress in cultivation.

Central Plain Taoist sects had entered a time of prosperity that had never been seen in the past hundred years.

From time to time, some good news of breaking through to the next realm would be sent out.

Putting the rest aside, Mr. Xuanzhen of Lao Mountain and Mr. Qianhong of Kunlun successfully broke through to the Apotheosis Realm in the past six months.

There were more good news in Xiao Yi's sect.

The two girls, Jiuer and Xiaoyue, were one had the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian and the other had the Seven-Apertured Heart, had improved rapidly, and with the help of Xiao Yi, they had both successfully achieved the Nascent Soul Realm Condensation.

Shu Wan and Mu Qingwan, one of them had an ordinary constitution and the other had lost her cultivation. However, under the help of a large number of pills and Dual Cultivation Method of Xiao Yi, they had successfully reached the Gold Elixir Realm.

Yu Feiyan's starting point was high to begin with. Now, with the help of Xiao Yi, she had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm Realm.

Ouyang Shi had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm Realm stage. The other vice heads had also advanced at an astonishing rate.

As for Xiao Yi himself, he was not eager to make a breakthrough in the past six months. Firstly, every breakthrough in the Apotheosis Realm was extremely difficult. Secondly, Xiao Yi focused on cultivating his Divine Awareness. Once his Divine Awareness reached great competition, he could stay as still as Li Zicheng did then. He needed to have more advantages when facing many evil skills of the Yinfeng Sect. However, Xiao Yi let the doppelganger successfully break through the Apotheosis Realm.

In the past six months, Li Zicheng and Chen Yuanyuan were still traveling around the world. Although they had never returned to the Dark Medical Sect, there was still news of them from time to time. They heard that Li Zicheng deliberately suppressed his cultivation after he recovered from his injury. He was waiting for Chen Yuanyuan to become immortal.

It was gratifying that two people, who had left regrets in the world for a hundred years ago, had such an end today.

As for the Yinfeng Sect, there was still no news from it. There was also no news of Li Min who had betrayed his sect. The trace of Forefather Blood Devil's divine soul and Pan Kun's whereabouts were also unknown.

As for Skyscraping Devil, ever since they parted ways in the ancient ruins, Xiao Yi had never seen her again. Neither had he heard any news of her.

The calm before the storm was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe.

On this day, Xiao Yi was currently sitting cross-legged in a quiet room within the Arctic Immortal Adobe. He was meditating and training. At the same time, he was calculating the Heavenly Calculations with his fingers.

Shu Wan sat beside him. However, after trying a few times, it was difficult for her to enter into a meditative state. She simply sat down and blinked her starry eyes as she looked at Xiao Yi. She could not get tired of looking at that face of his.

This kind of life was rare and pleasant for Shu Wan.

In the past six months, in order to help Jishi, Shu Wan had put in a lot of effort to move from domestic to international.

In half a year, her sharp character, along with the improvement of her cultivation and mind, had settled down.

However, no matter what level she reached, she would have her unique charm.

Now, she was less sharp, but people still did not dare to look directly at her. Her unique charm made her become the most famous oriental woman in the world, attracting the attention of all the people in the world.

Having been with Xiao Yi for so long, Shu Wan had never given birth to a child for Xiao Yi. For this reason, a major calamity could come at any time. Shu Wan was afraid that being pregnant at this time would affect Xiao Yi's energy. Although she was particularly envious of Mu Qingwan and Yu Feiyan, she valued the overall situation and did not let Xiao Yi have any worries. In this way, she regarded Guo Min and Ru Yu as her own and loved them from the bottom of her heart.

Xiao Yi was more intimate with Shu Wan. They found their position in the depth of each other's souls while busy.

During this period of time, Xiao Yi was so tired that he couldn't sleep or eat well. Seeing this, Shu Wan felt very distressed.

Xiao Yi slowly open his eyes. Frowning, he let out a gentle sigh.

"What's wrong?" Shu Wan had been staring at Xiao Yi. Seeing Xiao Yi sigh, she could not help but ask.

Xiao Yi glanced at Shu Wan, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Tonight, it's a seven-star conjuration again. This appears again and again in just two years. The Heaven's Way is like this, so it's no wonder the world is not peaceful."

Shu Wan's eyes flickered when she heard that. She sighed and said, "You've thought of Ziman again, haven't you? It's been so long, and there's no news at all. Sigh! The kindest person actually has the body of a Skyscraping Devil. Is there any justice in the heavens?"

After listening to Shu Wan's words, the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth unconsciously trembled slightly. The complex emotions of Ziman came to his mind one after another.

The more the calamity was coming, the heavier Xiao Yi's heart became.

Be it the Yinfeng Sect or the demon world, Xiao Yi was willing to risk his body and bones to engage them in a life-and-death battle.

However, what should he do to Yu Ziman?

Every time he thought of this, Xiao Yi felt as if his heart was being tortured in a frying pan.

Even if Shu Wan was intelligent, she had no words to persuade Xiao Yi on this issue. Additionally, her former best friend had now become a Skyscraping Devil that everyone wanted to kill. Shu Wan's heart was not at least as uncomfortable as Xiao Yi's. Thinking about it, tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes, and she gradually became sad.

It was rare to see such expression on Shu Wan's face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but hug her delicate body. He said in a gentle voice, "Let's not talk about this. It's my fault!"

Shu Wan looked at Xiao Yi but sighed slightly and said slowly, "I am not just sad about Ziman. As the great calamity is coming, you also said that as long as this great calamity passed smoothly, your Divine Awareness will reach Great Completion. If your merit is fulfilled, you will not be far from the ascension of the Tao. We are husband and wife in this life, so won't we be finished?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi held her tighter. He gently pressed his forehead and said softly, "Don't overthink. I will never ascend to the Immortal World alone. The Immortal World is endless. If I don't have you, what's the fun of life?"

"Is that true?" Shu Wan blinked and asked.

"Of course, I have ways to suppress my cultivation. We will do it together when we can both become immortals." Xiao Yi said firmly.

"There's also Guo Min and Ru Yu. We'll have to wait for them as well." Shu Wan asked seriously.

"Yes! I can wait for many years!" Xiao Yi nodded his head solemnly.

Hearing this, Shu Wan finally revealed a smile. Hugging against Xiao Yi's chest, she felt as if she had possessed the entire world.

However, at this moment, Shu Wan felt that Xiao Yi's body suddenly shook violently for no reason.

Shu Wan immediately raised her head and looked at Xiao Yi with surprise.

However, before Xiao Yi could say anything, a bright light streaked across the sky and landed in front of Xiao Yi.

It was a Coal Sword. It was the flying sword from Duanmu's.

"Flying Sword Transference?" Shu Wan knew that something major had happened when she saw this.

Sure enough, after Xiao Yi put his Divine Awareness into the flying sword, his face gradually became serious.

"What's the matter?" Shu Wan asked in surprise.

"Duanmu said that he found traces of the disciples of the Yinfeng Sect!" Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

"Where?" Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, Shu Wan had a sense of foreboding.

"In Zhonghai!" Xiao Yi answered in a low voice.

"In Zhonghai?" Shu Wan was shocked. She had never expected that after keeping quiet for a long time, the Yinfeng Sect would choose to appear in an international-class city like Zhonghai. However, she immediately thought of the most terrible aspect. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are they going to kill people and condense the Phaseless Sky Devil Energy?"

"No. Duanmu said that they seemed to have other intentions. On this seven-string night, the Yinfeng Sect's appearance must be extraordinary. Maybe, at this moment, it is here. Shu Wan, I must go to Zhonghai City immediately to have a look. After I leave, you must stay in this mansion and can't go out. The formation is opened at the same time to meet unexpected conditions." Xiao Yi said solemnly to Shu Wan.

"Yes!" Shu Wan heard him and immediately nodded her head heavily.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to leave, Shu Wan raised her hand and stopped him.

"Promise me you won't risk your life. Think about us, think about Guo Min and Ru Yu. We can't live without you. This is the first time I'm begging you. Promise me, okay?" Shu Wan held Xiao Yi's hand, looked straight at him, and said word by word.

From his starry eyes, Xiao Yi saw endless worry and reluctance. His heart thumped. Raising his hand, he tightly embraced Shu Wan and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. I promised you that we'll achieve the Tao and ascend together."

Leaving a heavy kiss on Shu Wan's forehead, Xiao Yi left the quiet room without looking back. Raising his hand, he summoned Skylaurel Crow, which turned into a ray of fire and went straight into the sky. After a while, they disappeared.

Shu Wan chased him out of the quiet room and watched helplessly as Xiao Yi disappeared into the horizon. Her heart gradually became empty.

"It's finally here!" Shu Wan said in a slow voice, turned around, and went back to the inner room. She found Mu Qingwan, Yu Feiyan, Jiuer, and Xiaoyue and told everyone about Xiao Yi's instructions before leaving.

Several hearts were lifted in an instant, but they also immediately started the great formation according to Xiao Yi's instructions. Everyone closed their doors and didn't go out. They were also ready to protect the Roaring Sky Print.

Zhonghai City was a very unique city, known as the largest city in Hua Country. It had a large population and wanted to do whatever it wanted.

Under normal circumstances, in a city like this, the foul air should be very heavy.

However, all the cultivators who passed by the city could feel that the Spiritual Energy in Zhonghai City was more concentrated than that of the other cities in Hua Country.

Why did this kind of situation happen? They were puzzled, but they also vaguely felt that someone was interfering. However, it was too big of a task to interfere with the aura of such a big city using human means. Who would dare to continue to investigate?

As for the legends of Zhonghai City since ancient times, they were also ubiquitous.

The people of Zhonghai City couldn't stop talking. The people who came to Zhonghai City for the first time, talked about it for hours.

The central square of Zhonghai City was the most popular place.

Anyone who arrived at the central square would discover the buildings around them were exceptionally interesting. Their shapes were extremely unique, almost like "giant cauldrons" and "fragrance censers", and even more like the "demon-subduing pestles".

Several unique buildings were set in the middle of the square, attracting the attention of countless tourists. These buildings were almost the symbol of Zhonghai City.

Tonight, it was the star image of the seven-star conjuration. The chilly wind gradually rose, and even the moon was nowhere to be seen.

The originally bustling Central Square was gradually shrouded by a thick black fog. The fog was so thick that it made people feel nauseous.

While the citizens complained that the fog was getting more and more serious, they also left one after another.
