### Chapter 2617 — The Journey Back
Inside his cultivation chamber—
Yang Lin calmly opened his eyes.
He looked toward the invisible space in front of him.
"Liu Yi must be a trillion light-years away from Earth right now."
His voice remained calm.
He could already sense the general situation.
Outside The Space Xia—
within the vast Unknown—
Liu Yi and several armed soldiers were standing on the enormous spaceship.
The spaceship was one billion light-years long.
It quietly floated through Unknown.
Liu Yi looked toward the distant Earth.
She then calmly stepped forward.
The next moment—
her figure disappeared.
She personally went toward Earth.
A moment later—
Liu Yi appeared near the same park.
It was morning.
The college girl was still there.
She was sitting on the same wooden bench.
She had apparently remained there for a long time.
The lake was peaceful.
The morning sunlight illuminated the surface of the water.
The college girl quietly looked ahead.
Then—
someone suddenly appeared beside her.
Liu Yi calmly sat down.
The college girl was startled.
She immediately turned toward Liu Yi.
"Who are you?"
Liu Yi calmly looked at her.
"I'm one of Yang Lin's people."
The college girl's expression instantly changed.
Her eyes widened.
Tears immediately appeared within them.
She quickly wiped them away.
Then—
with a trembling voice—
she asked,
"Where is Yang Lin now?"
Liu Yi calmly looked at her.
She briefly explained everything.
She explained The Space.
She explained The Space Xia.
She explained the World of Cultivation inside The Space Xia.
She explained that Earth, the Sun, and the Moon were now orbiting a projection of a low-tier real planetary Heaven.
She explained that the entire thing was safely located within Unknown.
The college girl listened silently.
Her understanding was completely overwhelmed.
The information was simply too much.
The Space.
The Space Xia.
The World of Cultivation.
Unknown.
Real Heavens.
Planetary Heavens.
She could not process everything within a few minutes.
But—
she did not really care about any of it.
She only wanted to see Yang Lin.
After a long silence—
she looked toward Liu Yi.
"Can I see Yang Lin?"
Liu Yi calmly nodded.
"Alright."
"Hold my hand."
"After a long while, you'll see him."
The college girl immediately held Liu Yi's hand.
---
### Chapter 2618 — Zi Yuner
The next moment—
Liu Yi and the college girl disappeared from Earth.
They appeared on the enormous spaceship once again.
The college girl immediately looked around.
Her eyes widened.
She could not see the familiar sky.
She could not see Earth.
She could not see the Sun.
Instead—
there was endless Unknown surrounding them.
The darkness was vast beyond comprehension.
The college girl's body became slightly stiff.
She instinctively held Liu Yi's hand tighter.
Then—
she slowly turned around.
Her expression became completely stunned.
Behind her—
was an enormous spaceship.
One billion light-years long.
It was so enormous that she could barely understand what she was looking at.
Liu Yi calmly explained.
"This is a Space Ship."
"There are many different kinds."
"Some are smaller."
"Some are much larger."
She paused.
"Some Space Ships are even five hundred billion light-years long."
The college girl stared at her.
"They can be that big?"
Liu Yi calmly nodded.
"Yes."
"Yang Lin created some of them out of Nothingness."
The college girl's expression became even more shocked.
The more Liu Yi explained—
the more shocked she became.
Yet—
she adapted surprisingly quickly.
After all—
she had already heard about Unknown, The Space, The Space Xia, and the World of Cultivation.
Compared to those things—
a gigantic spaceship was gradually becoming easier to accept.
Liu Yi looked toward her.
"I haven't asked your name."
The college girl quietly looked at Liu Yi.
"My name is Zi Yuner."
Liu Yi smiled.
"Nice name."
She then calmly said,
"Liu Yi is my real name."
"But my full name is Liu Yi Su."
Zi Yuner nodded.
"Thank you."
Liu Yi calmly shook her head.
"No need to thank me."
She looked at Zi Yuner.
"Yang Lin asked me to bring you."
Zi Yuner's understanding shattered in an instant.
She stared at Liu Yi.
"How is that possible?"
"You said that High Tier Beings can't go outside their The Space."
"And they can't use any methods to see outside their The Space."
"Then how did Yang Lin know I was at that park?"
"How did he know where I was?"
Zi Yuner's voice trembled.
"Which means..."
"Yang Lin sensed me?"
Liu Yi calmly shook her head.
"No."
"Yang Lin saw you."
Zi Yuner's face became pale.
She stared at Liu Yi.
"Who exactly is Yang Lin?"
Liu Yi remained calm.
"I don't know much."
"No one around him knows much."
"Even the little that we know about him cannot truly be described by words."
"The things we know are only the things he has personally told us."
"That's all."
Zi Yuner remained completely stunned.
She looked toward the endless Unknown.
Then—
she looked at the enormous spaceship beneath her.
She slowly understood that Yang Lin was far beyond anything she could imagine.
Liu Yi calmly said,
"Let's go."
The spaceship turned around.
It was now facing away from Earth.
The distance between Earth and the spaceship was already one trillion light-years.
Then—
the enormous spaceship vanished into Unknown.
Its destination—
The Space Xia.
The World of Cultivation.

### Chapter 2619 — Another Year
Inside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Yang Lin calmly sat inside his cultivation chamber.
He continued cultivating.
"She is coming sooner."
He quietly said.
Then—
he closed his eyes.
He continued cultivating.
Another year quietly passed.
Inside the main hall—
Lu Sunyu calmly sat on her chair.
Zi Xian Lu sat beside her.
Mo Yulu, Cu Yuner, and Cu Long were also calmly seated.
The Lower Realm's Ancient Immortal forces had changed considerably over the years.
The fighting and killing over Secret Realms and treasures had decreased.
Instead—
many Ancient Immortal forces began organizing competitions.
Weak forces participated.
Strong forces participated.
Ancient Immortal factions sent their geniuses into different Secret Realms.
There was one strict rule.
Only geniuses below the Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm could enter.
No one above that realm was allowed.
It became a true battle of geniuses.
Many Ancient Immortal forces sent their most talented younger generations.
The various Secret Realms became increasingly lively.
Yet—
the Heaven Cutter Sect remained peaceful.
No one dared to disturb it.
Of course—
some people eventually came.
Several groups of cultivators approached the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Their cultivation ranged from the Immortal Emperor Realm to the Dao Severing Realm.
They believed that the Heaven Cutter Sect was an opportunity.
They believed that they could test its strength.
They were wrong.
Mo Xian merely glanced at them.
Those cultivators turned into Nothingness.
Mo Xian did not erase everyone.
Only several Dao Severing Realm cultivators were turned into Nothingness.
The others were deliberately left alive.
They could return.
They could warn others.
They could tell the Ancient Immortal forces what had happened.
After that—
no one came again.
Many Ancient Immortal forces that lost their Dao Severing Realm cultivators entered seclusion.
Some gradually declined.
Others became extremely cautious.
Inside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
none of this concerned Yang Lin.
He remained inside his cultivation chamber.
He continued cultivating calmly.
Qiuyue Lu and Yao Qiufei were also cultivating.
After another year—
both of their cultivation had reached the peak of the Immortal Sovereign Realm Mid Stage.
Neither woman stopped.
They continued cultivating.
---
### Chapter 2620 — The Sword Dao Sect
Far away—
in the Northern Domain—
inside the Sword Dao Sect—
Chaoran Zhi Quan sat within her private courtyard.
Her cultivation had also broken through.
Immortal Sovereign Realm—
Mid Stage.
She calmly circulated her cultivation.
Her foundation continued becoming stronger.
Not long after—
another powerful aura appeared.
Yu Luhan had also broken through to the Immortal Sovereign Realm Mid Stage.
The two were now at the same realm.
Chaoran Zhi Quan slowly opened her eyes.
She quietly looked toward the sky.
Her thoughts returned to Yang Lin.
"How are you doing?"
She softly asked.
She did not know where Yang Lin was.
She did not know which sect he belonged to.
She did not know what he had become.
But—
she still thought about him.
At this moment—
her grandfather had also undergone a major breakthrough.
A few days earlier—
Grandpa Lu had broken through to the Transcendence Realm Perfection Early Stage.
The position of the Sword Dao Sect had therefore risen significantly.
Within the Central Region of the Northern Domain—
the Sword Dao Sect now stood much higher than before.
It had become one of the strongest Ancient Immortal forces in the region.
Chaoran Zhi Quan quietly cultivated.
Then—
a figure entered her private courtyard.
It was Grandpa Lu.
He looked at Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"How is your cultivation going?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly answered,
"It's fine."
She then looked toward him.
"How is Yu Luhan's cultivation?"
Grandpa Lu calmly said,
"His cultivation is the same as yours."
Chaoran Zhi Quan nodded.
Then—
she suddenly asked,
"Which sect does Yang Lin belong to?"
Grandpa Lu's expression remained calm.
"Can't say yet."
Chaoran Zhi Quan immediately became slightly angry.
"Grandpa, tell me, will you?"
Grandpa Lu calmly looked at her.
"When you break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm—"
"I'll tell you."
Chaoran Zhi Quan was shocked.
"That's quite far ahead."
She paused.
"Is Yang Lin's identity that shocking?"
Grandpa Lu calmly shook his head.
"That's not the reason."
"Just cultivate properly."
After saying that—
Grandpa Lu turned around.
He left Chaoran Zhi Quan's private courtyard.
Chaoran Zhi Quan watched him leave.
Then—
she quietly clenched her hand.
"I'll find you."
Her Dao heart had been shaken.
Yet—
she soon calmed herself.
Chaoran Zhi Quan closed her eyes.
She continued cultivating.
---
### Chapter 2621 — Whatever
Inside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Yang Lin calmly cultivated.
His eyes remained closed.
His cultivation circulated naturally.
For a brief moment—
he thought about Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"Whatever."
He quietly said.
"I hope Chaoran Zhi Quan is doing well."
Yang Lin knew she was doing well.
He could see her cultivating.
He could sense the general changes around her.
Yet—
he chose not to watch her.
Cultivation came first.
Yang Lin calmly circulated his cultivation.
His Dao heart remained completely still.
He did not become distracted.
He simply continued cultivating.
At the same time—
far away in Unknown—
the enormous spaceship continued traveling.
Zi Yuner stood beside Liu Yi.
She had already become accustomed to the vast Unknown.
The initial shock had gradually disappeared.
She looked forward.
"How much longer?"
Liu Yi calmly answered,
"Not much longer."
The spaceship continued moving.
The Space Xia slowly approached.
---
### Chapter 2622 — Near The Space Xia
After traveling for more than a year—
the enormous spaceship finally arrived near The Space Xia.
Zi Yuner looked ahead.
Her eyes widened.
She could sense that something enormous was nearby.
Yet—
she could not fully comprehend it.
Liu Yi calmly looked at her.
"Well."
"I'll send you now."
Zi Yuner looked confused.
"How can I go?"
Liu Yi calmly raised her right hand.
Nothingness rippled.
An invisible barrier appeared around Zi Yuner.
Zi Yuner looked at herself.
"What is this?"
Liu Yi calmly explained.
"Just travel forward."
"This invisible barrier around you will protect you from all High Tier Beings from The Space Xia."
"No one will even dare approach you."
"Even the Starry Sky of the World of Cultivation won't do anything to you."
"So don't worry."
Zi Yuner remained surprised.
Liu Yi then calmly continued.
"Now go to the Rui Star."
"The invisible barrier will take you to Yang Lin on the Lower Realm."
Zi Yuner looked toward the distant The Space Xia.
She took a deep breath.
Then—
she flew forward.
Her figure entered The Space Xia.
Nothing happened.
The invisible barrier completely protected her.
She continued forward.
Soon—
she saw the World of Cultivation.
It was exactly as Liu Yi had described.
The enormous World of Cultivation stretched through space.
Its size was comparable to a Large Universal Globic Cluster.
It was not far into The Space Xia.
Zi Yuner continued forward.
The invisible barrier carried her at an astonishing speed.
She finally arrived outside the World of Cultivation.
Then—
she entered.
---
### Chapter 2623 — Rui Star
A few seconds later—
Zi Yuner appeared near the Rui Star.
She was completely stunned.
The Rui Star was enormous.
Its scale was far beyond anything she had ever imagined.
The invisible barrier had carried her here at an absurd speed.
Zi Yuner looked behind her.
Then—
she looked ahead.
"This..."
She could not speak.
She slowly entered the Rui Star's Immortal Realm.
The moment she entered—
her figure disappeared.
Then—
she appeared in the Southern Domain.
A moment later—
she appeared in the Central Domain.
Everything she saw along the way shocked her.
The enormous territories.
The countless cultivators.
The endless Immortal Qi.
The ancient cities.
The floating mountains.
The countless powerful auras.
Everything was beyond what she could imagine.
Yet—
the invisible barrier continued protecting her.
Soon—
she appeared in front of the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Zi Yuner stopped.
Her eyes widened.
The Heaven Cutter Sect stood before her.
Its enormous mountain range stretched into the distance.
Immortal mountains floated in the sky.
Magnificent pavilions stood across the mountain peaks.
Immortal Qi flowed everywhere.
The entire sect looked like a world of its own.
Zi Yuner stared at it.
Her expression was filled with disbelief.
"Is this where Yang Lin is?"
She slowly walked forward.
Then—
she entered.
---
### Chapter 2624 — Heaven Cutter Sect
Zi Yuner's figure appeared on the Central Mountain.
She looked around.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
Everything was peaceful.
Yet—
the scale of the Heaven Cutter Sect was extraordinary.
The buildings were magnificent.
The mountains were enormous.
The Immortal Qi was extremely dense.
The surrounding space itself felt different.
Zi Yuner slowly continued forward.
Soon—
she appeared near the main hall.
The invisible barrier around her disappeared.
At that moment—
Lu Sunyu stood up.
She calmly walked toward Zi Yuner.
Behind her—
Zi Xian Lu.
Mo Yulu.
Cu Yuner.
Cu Long.
They also came forward.
Zi Yuner looked at them.
Her expression slowly became shocked.
She could sense their presence.
Yet—
their presence was strangely normal.
Friendly.
Calm.
There was no hostility.
But the difference was impossible to ignore.
Their strength was not merely vast.
It was something far beyond what Zi Yuner could understand.
Lu Sunyu smiled calmly.
"Welcome."
Zi Yuner froze.
She looked at Lu Sunyu.
Lu Sunyu was like Liu Yi.
She could not sense any cultivation from her.
It was as though Lu Sunyu had no presence at all.
Yet—
Zi Yuner knew that was impossible.
She quickly bowed slightly.
"Thank you."
Everyone calmly smiled.
"No problem."
Lu Sunyu waved her hand.
A chair appeared from Nothingness beside her.
She calmly said,
"Come, sit down."
Zi Yuner slowly walked over then
She sat down.
Then—
she looked at the chair.
Her expression became confused.
"Did you create something out of Nothingness without cultivation?"
Lu Sunyu calmly shook her head.
"No."
"My cultivation is far, far higher."
"It is absurdly high."
"Only a few people even on the Immortal Realm of the Rui Star can sense it."
She paused.
"Any cultivator above a Heaven Immortal can create something out of Nothingness."
"But I look like I don't have cultivation because mine is absurdly high."
Zi Yuner remained stunned.
She slowly nodded.
She was beginning to understand.
---
### Chapter 2625 — Yang Lin
Zi Xian Lu, Mo Yulu, Cu Yuner, and Cu Long all looked toward Lu Sunyu.
Then—
they asked almost at the same time,
"So Yang Lin?"
Lu Sunyu calmly looked at them.
"Yang Lin's actual cultivation is only at the Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm."
Everyone became silent.
Zi Yuner's eyes widened.
"What are the Cultivation Realms? "
Lu Sunyu explained until Transcendence Realm perfection late stage peak.
"This is for the Lower Realm."
"His current cultivation is genuinely at the Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm."
Zi Yuner looked completely stunned.
She remembered what Liu Yi had told her.
She remembered everything she had seen.
Then—
Lu Sunyu calmly continued.
"What Yang Lin uses is purely part of his Natural Techniques."
Zi Xian Lu's expression became thoughtful.
Mo Yulu also remained silent.
Cu Yuner's eyes narrowed.
Cu Long stared ahead.
Lu Sunyu continued.
"Yang Lin's way of creating anything out of Nothingness is completely different."
"It cannot be compared with ordinary cultivation."
"It is far beyond words."
She paused.
"Even I cannot casually explain exactly how he does it."
The expressions of everyone became complicated.
Zi Xian Lu was calm, but there was a faint seriousness in her eyes.
Mo Yulu's expression was thoughtful.
Cu Yuner looked toward Yang Lin's cultivation chamber.
Cu Long's mouth was slightly open.
Zi Yuner remained completely stunned.
She had spent more than a year traveling through Unknown.
She had learned about The Space.
She had learned about The Space Xia.
She had seen the World of Cultivation.
She had seen the Rui Star.
She had finally reached the place where Yang Lin cultivated.
And now—
she was being told that Yang Lin's actual cultivation was only at the Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm.
Zi Yuner slowly looked toward the distant cultivation chamber.
"Yang Lin..."
She quietly whispered.
---
### Chapter 2626 — Beyond Words
The main hall became completely quiet.
Zi Yuner sat beside Lu Sunyu.
She continued looking toward Yang Lin's cultivation chamber.
Her expression was filled with disbelief.
She had once known Yang Lin as an ordinary person.
A childhood friend.
Someone who had simply disappeared into the world of cultivation.
Yet—
the person she had known had now become someone who alone could not be understood through words at all.
One billion light-year-long Space Ship.
Five hundred billion light-year-long Space Ships.
Unknown.
The Space Xia.
The World of Cultivation.
The Rui Star.
Natural Techniques.
Creation from Nothingness.
Everything she had experienced since meeting Liu Yi had completely changed her understanding of the world.
And yet—
Lu Sunyu had calmly said that Yang Lin's actual cultivation was only at the Quasar Immortal Emperor Realm.
Zi Yuner could not understand it.
But—
she did not ask again.
She simply looked toward the cultivation chamber.
Inside—
Yang Lin continued cultivating.
He had already sensed Zi Yuner's arrival.
He knew that she had reached the Heaven Cutter Sect.
He knew that she was now sitting inside the main hall.
Yet—
he did not stop cultivating.
He remained calm.
His breathing was steady.
His eyes remained closed.
He continued cultivating.
Outside the chamber—
Lu Sunyu quietly smiled.
Zi Xian Lu remained calm.
Mo Yulu, Cu Yuner, and Cu Long were still somewhat stunned.
Zi Yuner quietly looked around.
She finally understood something.
The people here were not pretending to be mysterious.
They genuinely did not need to prove anything.
Their existence itself was already beyond her understanding.
Lu Sunyu calmly looked at Zi Yuner.
"Don't worry."
"You're safe here."
Zi Yuner nodded slowly.
"Thank you."
Lu Sunyu smiled.
"No need to thank me."
She then looked toward Yang Lin's cultivation chamber.
"After all..."
"You're someone Yang Lin wanted to see."
Zi Yuner's eyes trembled slightly.
She quietly looked toward the cultivation chamber again.
For the first time since Yang Lin had disappeared—
she felt that she was finally close to him.
Not physically.
Not yet.
But close enough.
Inside the cultivation chamber—
Yang Lin calmly opened his eyes.
He looked toward the main hall.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Zi Yuner."
He quietly said.
Then—
he closed his eyes again.
He continued cultivating.
Calm as usual.
