After his thoughts were disturbed, Lin Xuan had to be more alert, and transmitted a message with his consciousness to the immortal sister who dwelled within the jade pearl.
Since his cultivation level had improved, the time the immortal sister spent awake inside the jade pearl also increased slightly.
The higher Lin Xuan's level became, the more he realized how unfathomable this immortal sister was, and he began to trust her more.
"Immortal sister, I cannot discern this person's cultivation realm. Could you help me investigate? I suspect that crazy woman sent him to chase me."
Lin Xuan transmitted with his consciousness.
"Let me see."
The perfect woman living inside the jade pearl, though still in a residual soul state, was no longer as weak as before.
With Lin Xuan's realm improving, he could gradually provide her with some resources to restore her soul, so she no longer had to sleep so much to recover.
She had just used her consciousness to investigate Tang Yu's cultivation level.
The moment her consciousness touched Tang Yu,
a golden ring centered on Tang Yu instantly expanded across the entire city.
Time throughout the city seemed to freeze.
The world turned black and white.
Everyone was frozen in their positions.
Even the cultivators in the Golden Core Realm within the city could not move.
Their thoughts remained stuck at that moment, completely unaware of what was happening.
Tang Yu was no exception; at that moment he was also in a black-and-white state.
Only his eyes could move slightly.
And beside him appeared a figure emitting a faint golden light.
It was Nangong Wuxin, the ancestor of the Hehuan sect.
With a serious expression, he extended his hand and a golden flash appeared at his fingertips, transforming into a long golden line that slowly began to wrap around the jade pearl on Lin Xuan's chest.
The jade pearl started to tremble violently as the golden line wrapped it, preventing the line from closing completely.
Fortunately, after a while of shaking, the pearl gradually calmed down, and when the golden line covered it completely, it became perfectly still.
After doing all this, even Nangong Wuxin, an old monster in the Great Ascension Realm, showed signs of fatigue on his face.
When he withdrew his hand, time resumed flowing.
The city regained its original colors, and the people noticed no change, continuing their activities as usual.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan remained frozen in place, with glassy eyes and unmoving.
By that time he had noticed the external change.
But he could not move at all.
In his mind, he desperately called out to the immortal sister.
But he received no response.
This sudden despair caused Lin Xuan to begin to panic.
How could this be?
"Master, thank you for your effort."
Tang Yu, already recovered, quickly thanked Nangong Wuxin.
After deciding to take action against Lin Xuan,
he specifically sought out Nangong Wuxin for help.
After all, the residual soul of the immortal empress inside the pearl was not something to take lightly. For a cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm like him, in the eyes of ordinary people, she was someone of great rank.
But trying to compete with the residual soul of an immortal empress was like courting death.
"It's not easy. If it weren't because I advanced in realm, I wouldn't even dare to use this kind of divine technique."
Nangong Wuxin sighed. Compared to freezing time, sealing this pearl was much harder.
Residual soul of an immortal empress sounds weak, but the weight of the words "immortal empress" he understood perfectly.
He extended his hand to grab the pearl hanging from Lin Xuan's neck and took it into his palm.
As for Lin Xuan, he didn't even glance at him; being one realm below the Nascent Soul Realm, he could crush him with a finger.
After handing the pearl to Tang Yu, Nangong Wuxin warned him.
"Even for me, a master, I can only seal it for three days. The residual soul of the Celestial Emperor must not be underestimated. How do you plan to handle it?"
"I have a place to imprison it."
After Tang Yu took the jade pearl, his consciousness immediately entered the Sacred Tree space.
A little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was sitting by the lake fishing; upon noticing Tang Yu's arrival, she dropped her fishing rod and quickly flew to him, hugging him and giving him several kisses while exclaiming:
"Yuyu!"
"Grandma, long time no see! I'm here playing fishing."
Tang Yu greeted the little Divine Tree Girl with a kind smile.
Some time ago, due to having to control his clone in the Yinming Sea, he hadn't had time to contact grandma.
Luckily, for the little Divine Tree Girl, who exists in that space, time perception is different.
Although decades may have passed outside, for her, an immortal being, it may be just the length of a nap.
"Yes, yes, and what have you brought now? Another new wife?"
The little girl smiled and tried to take Tang Yu's hand.
Tang Yu, smiling, handed her the jade pearl and explained the situation.
"Oh, the golden finger of the son of destiny! Could it be the future wife of someone?"
Speaking of this, the little girl got excited, clenched her tiny fists, and said enthusiastically:
"What's the plan? Want grandma to help with a bit of brute force? If it doesn't work the first time, we try twice, make her give up and accept her master."
"..."
Tang Yu thought that was also a good idea.
If Lin Xuan saw his goddess begging him for dual cultivation training, probably his cultivator's heart would waver a bit.
But this unlucky fellow's real golden finger is not just the residual soul of the Empress.
It's the destiny of the protagonist, the son of destiny, the favorite of the Heavenly Tao.
If Nangong Wuxin had tried to kill him just now,
either something unforeseen happened that even Nangong Wuxin couldn't handle,
or the Heavenly Tao was alarmed, or a new son of destiny was born.
"For now, I leave it to you, grandma, to take care of it. I have to go handle other matters. I'll see you later."
After kissing the little Divine Tree Girl, Tang Yu left the Tree space and his consciousness returned.
Tang Yu noticed the jade pearl in his hand had already disappeared.
Nangong Wuxin, noticing something, smiled meaningfully as if he had seen nothing.
Everyone has their secrets, and with such a talented disciple, some secrets are normal.
Besides, now that the Hehuan Sect depends on him, Nangong Wuxin felt more relaxed and didn't want to deal with complicated matters, smilingly gestured with his hand:
"I've left everything in your hands. If there's nothing else, I'll go travel a bit and find you some pretty masters."
"Better not, master, first take good care of the masters and then think about other things. If you keep wandering around, they'll look at me weirdly."
"That's because the masters are testing your resolve; don't let yourself be deceived or disappoint me."
"I'll try."
"Good disciple."
Nangong Wuxin gave a pleased pat on his shoulder and said, "If you don't endure the test, master... I won't blame you too much."
"..."
Seeing his master with that meaningful smile and even some emotion,
Tang Yu began to doubt the sanity of his life.
After watching his master leave,
Tang Yu came back to himself and fixed his gaze on Lin Xuan.
Without the protection of the residual soul of the Celestial Emperor, this guy, defenseless, was already under his control.
"Let's go to Zhuxian city."
After ordering with his consciousness, both instantly disappeared from the city and flew at high speed toward Zhuxia city
