Meanwhile, at Yan Jingfei’s side.
The flying ship flew by rapidly, passing through dozens of miles in a few minutes, tearing through clouds while the fellow disciples in the flying ship talked about the various things they had witnessed during their time at the Heavenly Immortal City.
"Senior sister, just what is the requirement to be considered a genius in the Immortal Cultivation World? Back at the Heavenly Immortal City, there were so many people with an aura similar to yours, but I obviously could not gauge their exact level and age."
Jian Qi asked curiously, his tone of voice filled with amazement.
"Well, anyone who is under a thousand years old but has already attained the Golden Core Realm is what we call a genius, while anyone who’s already a Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator and still not even ten thousand years old are called great geniuses, supreme geniuses are the greatest geniuses of each major faction."
Yan Jingfei explained patiently. She really liked having a junior brother like Jian Qi around whom she could educate on various things.
"How old are you, senior sister?"
Jian Qi asked suddenly.
"You shouldn’t ask a woman her age, junior brother."
Yan Jingfei replied with an awkward smile, causing Jian Qi’s expression to dim.
He’s just a kid...
She couldn’t help but feel bad for her junior brother before being pulled back from her thoughts by his voice.
"Then, how long has it been since you began cultivating, senior sister?"
"..."
Smartass.
"...It’s been almost a thousand years."
She answered with feigned annoyance.
It was true. She was originally already 300 years old when she regressed back into her past self, and it had been over 600 years since then. She was almost a thousand years old.
"Whoa, and you’re already at the Void Refinement Realm? Does that mean senior sister is above the ranks of ordinary geniuses?"
Jian Qi asked again, his eyes glistening with admiration.
"You can say that.."
Yan Jingfei replied, her expression turning into one of slight embarrassment since she was not really a true genius, but instead a special individual chosen by the heavens, and thus was able to cultivate so quickly.
But it could be said that it was a part of her talent as well.
Though...you’re way more of a freak than I am...
She threw Jian Qi a secret glance, sizing him up and down.
He was barely over 200 years old, but was on the verge of entering the Innate Realm. Even if the environment of the Eternal Peak was extremely good, this was monstrous talent no matter how one looked at it.
A pig with no talent may be able to ascend to immortality if it cultivated within the Eternal Peak, but it would still take that pig hundreds of thousands of years to become an Immortal!
From Jian Qi’s speed of cultivation, he could enter the Void Refinement Realm or even the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of a thousand years!
All the people under master are absolute monsters...
She couldn’t help but shiver inwardly at the fact that if she hadn’t been sensible at their first meeting and instead was arrogant, offending her master, what would have happened then?
She didn’t even dare to think about offending such a terrifying existence.
As she was lost in thought once again, another question which escaped Jian Qi’s mouth pulled her back.
"Senior sister, then what are those who have attained Tribulation Transcendence Realm and even the Immortal Ascension Realm before the age of a thousand years called?"
"Huh? They...such people are extremely rare. They are either the reincarnations of ancient entities or have an extremely powerful background. Aside from these people, one such naturally talented person may only appear once in a era."
She replied after contemplating for a moment.
Had it been in her past life, she would’ve laughed Jian Qi’s question off as a joke, but she had witnessed too many bizarre things in her current life to be laughing off such matters.
Beings who were chosen by the heavens existed, and they defied all common sense of Immortal Cultivators
Then there were reincarnated beings like her master and those being guided by extremely powerful experts.
Her master was definitely not a thousand years old in his present life, yet he was already suppressing the entire cultivation world beneath his feet and standing on par with the greatest experts of the Mortal World.
If all of this was real, then there was a high chance there were extraordinary geniuses who would appear once every era, shaking the cultivation world with their overwhelming might and ascend to the heavens in less than a thousand years. Truly a slap to the faces of those cultivators who have been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years just for a slim chance of ascension.
There were also legends of such cultivators actually existing at one point in time, such as the Divine Sovereign.
But there was surely no such person in the current era...or was there?
She didn’t know, nor did she wish to know.
It was better to know as little about the depths of the cultivation world as possible, otherwise, who knows when one might accidentally come across a secret they shouldn’t have and lose their life because of it?
At this point, the flying ship had almost left the Heavenly Immortal City when Yan Jingfei’s gaze fell on another flying ship going towards the direction of Kunlun, opposite to where she was heading.
As both the flying ships passed by eachother, her eyes caught the sight of a beautiful woman dressed in a imperial robe and shining black hair cascading down her shoulders standing at the flying ship with another man dressed in similar clothing besides her. They appeared to be siblings at a closer look due to the resemblance they had.
Yan Jingfei couldn’t help but feel strange looking at them, so she quickly turned her gaze away, looking forward.
The man on the opposite flying ship just gave her a side glance, but the woman’s eyes seemed to have widened upon seeing Yan Jingfei.
I...can’t directly see through her cultivation base?
Does that mean...she’s already stronger than me!?
The woman thought in utter panic, though her expression remained neutral on the outside.
That’s right, she was none other than Jiang Ruyin!
And right next to her stood her older brother, Jiang Chengxuan!
Initially, she wanted to use Yan Jingfei to locate the inheritance of the Great Jiang Empress and then take it for herself, however, feeling uneasy, she forced her brother to come with her after knowing that the higher ups of the righteous path would have a private meeting and their juniors weren’t allowed to be by their side at that time.
She wanted to search for one last time, giving it a final shot. If she could find the secret realm, then it would not only avert the original storyline of the novel and her end at the hands of Yan Jingfei, she might even be able to get the vast Providence for herself and become as powerful as the protagonist.

If she couldn’t find it, then she could just wait for Yan Jingfei and then use her to find it. Though her first plan was already ruined because her father, the Great Spirit Emperor, suddenly called her brother back to Kunlun, so she was already thinking of what to do when Yan Jingfei arrives at the Central Continent.
But I never expected that Yan Jingfei would take action so fast! This wasn’t in the original script!
She was able to immediately recognize Yan Jingfei because her memory, as a somewhat high ranking cultivators, was extremely clear, and she remembered the illustrations of Yan Jingfei she saw in her previous life provided by the author of the novel Intricacies of Fate.
I have to do something!
The plot has already deviated from the original storyline! This is no longer a fictional world but a very real world where every single choice matters and a tiny mistake can lead to the outcome of certain things be completely different than what it was intended to be!
Making up her mind, she immediately looked at Jiang Chengxuan and spoke up hastily.
"Brother, I need to do something extremely quick. You go back on your own. I’ll be back in some time."
She said, her tone of voice resolute, meaning she had already made up her mind.
"What do you mean? What do you want to do which could be so important?"
"Don’t ask, just go back! I’ll see you soon at the Heavenly Immortal City!"
Saying this, she immediately locked onto the direction Yan Jingfei had gone to, and threw out a flying ship from her Storage Ring. Almost instantly, the flying ship disappeared from its original spot, speeding up to catch up to Yan Jingfei.
You may be the protagonist of the novel in my world, but this is not a novel anymore!
I won’t accept my fate so easily!
