In the northern part of the Celestial Realm, inside the Lichen Sword Sect.
An immortal dressed in black robes was browsing through the information collected by his subordinates about Ye Yu.
This person’s name was Sang Liuhé.
He was the Grand Elder of the Lichen Sword Sect. A few months ago,
when he went out, he discovered Lin Miaoxue, who had just recently ascended.
Immediately, he was struck by her extraordinary presence.
Not only did she possess an immaculate sword heart, but her sword intent was magnificent and overwhelming. She was definitely the best sword immortal candidate.
Sang Liuhé instantly decided to take her as a disciple.
He handed Lin Miaoxue a sword pearl.
This sword pearl was something he had snatched from Shi Zhenxi ten thousand years ago.
It was the sword pearl from the ancestor immortal sword of the Mo family.
Sang Liuhé had long coveted it, but after finally seizing it, he never managed to figure out its secrets.
So he thought to let Lin Miaoxue hold it and see if it would produce any different effects.
Unexpectedly, it really worked.
A brand-new immortal sword, entirely ink-black, appeared before the two of them.
At that moment, Sang Liuhé was thrilled and thought Lin Miaoxue was his lucky star.
If it weren’t for her, perhaps even after another ten thousand years, he still wouldn’t be able to unlock the secret of the sword pearl.
But when Sang Liuhé prepared to take the sword and refine it into his own life weapon,
he found the sword reverted back into the sword pearl again.
He tried several times in a row, and it was always the same.
It showed that only in Lin Miaoxue’s hands would this object become an unparalleled immortal sword.
In the hands of anyone else, it would only turn into a useless sword pearl.
Still, Sang Liuhé was not too angry.
Even if he could not control the immortal sword himself, it was fine as long as he controlled the person who wielded it!
Therefore, Sang Liuhé began to devote great effort to cultivating Lin Miaoxue.
This disciple was also very promising.
In just a few months, she had already reached the pinnacle of the True Immortal Realm, only one step away from the Profound Immortal Realm.
She wielded the immortal sword as if it were an extension of her own arm.
This gave Sang Liuhé great comfort.
Within at most a thousand years, Lin Miaoxue would become his greatest support, and then great things could be achieved!
No, if he dared to be bold, perhaps seven or eight hundred years would be enough.
Every time he thought about it, Sang Liuhé felt very excited.
However, Lin Miaoxue had one flaw.
She cared too much about emotions.
She had already ascended to immortality, so why still search for a husband in the mortal world?
Wouldn’t pursuing strength be better?
What meaning did romantic attachments hold?
Sang Liuhé felt a deep annoyance about this but still ordered the sect’s immortals to investigate news about Ye Yu.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yu was somewhat famous in the central Celestial Realm.
At the Tenfold Dao’s Immortal Assembly, he alone climbed all ninety-nine steps of the Ascending Heaven Terrace,
becoming famous in one fell swoop.
A trace of change appeared on Sang Liuhé’s expression.
He also knew about the Tenfold Dao’s immortal device—the Ascending Heaven Terrace.
It was the greatest test of an immortal’s state of mind.
Ordinary immortals who could step up ten levels were already exceptional.
Reaching fifty levels was considered extremely rare.
Ninety-nine levels?
That record was likely unmatched so far.
An immortal with such a mindset, if truly matured, would certainly hold a place of significance in the Celestial Realm.
Sang Liuhé slightly raised his brow and fell silent.
At that moment, Lin Miaoxue flew over on her sword.
She cupped her hands and bowed, saying, “Master, I have fully comprehended the Lichen Sword Technique. Next, I only need to carefully refine my sword intent.
But after such a long time, is there still no news of my husband Ye Yu?”
Hearing this,
Sang Liuhé slightly shook his head and placed both hands behind his back.
With a thought, the information about Ye Yu in his hand instantly turned to dust.
Emotions would only become shackles for the sword wielder.
Especially for a female sword immortal, when she had an immortal companion to rely on, her fighting spirit would gradually fade.
Sang Liuhé absolutely would not allow this to happen.
After all, Lin Miaoxue was very useful to him.
For this reason, he was even willing to personally crush a genius who had yet to grow.
When Lin Miaoxue reached the Immortal King or Immortal Emperor level, she would surely understand his painstaking intentions.
Sang Liuhé narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward, and softly said, “Some things cannot be rushed. The Celestial Realm is vast; finding someone is not an easy matter.
Take your time. I have already ordered thirty immortals to begin investigating Ye Yu’s whereabouts together.
Once we discover any trace of him, we will inform you at the first moment. Rest assured!”
Hearing this,
Lin Miaoxue forced a smile and repeatedly thanked him.
But the disappointment in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Sang Liuhé placed his hands gently on Lin Miaoxue’s shoulders.
He said softly, “You need not be too troubled. Rather than wasting every day on longing,
it is better to diligently refine your sword intent.
Only when you stand at a sufficiently high position will your husband be able to see you more quickly!”
Lin Miaoxue’s gaze grew firm, and she nodded strongly.
Currently, she was merely a humble True Immortal Realm cultivator.
Weak and alone, searching for her husband also required her master’s power.
If one day she became an Immortal King, she would be renowned throughout the Celestial Realm.
Even without actively searching, her husband Ye Yu would naturally hear of her from others
and they would reunite once again.
Understanding this crucial point, Lin Miaoxue felt full of fighting spirit.
“I understand, Master. I will continue to work hard!”
Hearing this promise,
Sang Liuhé revealed a satisfied smile.
He nodded slightly at Lin Miaoxue, saying, “Go about your tasks. In a few days, I will take you to a place that might become your sword-refining ground.”
......
In the time that followed,
Ye Yu and Zuo Yingchun began searching all over the Celestial Realm for Lin Miaoxue’s whereabouts,
but found nothing.
Eventually, helpless, Ye Yu had to bring Zuo Yingchun back to the Wuwei Tower first.
This did not mean he would stop searching.
He only wanted to send Zuo Yingchun back first.
She was only a True Immortal Realm cultivator at present, with weak strength, unable to search separately.
Following Ye Yu around would also be a distraction.
Rather than that, it was better to keep her safe in Wuwei Tower.
Regarding this proposal, Zuo Yingchun hesitated only briefly before agreeing.
This was an objective fact that had to be faced.
Upon learning about Lin Miaoxue’s ascension,
Shangguan Jiujou, Bai Xichu, and others also wanted to come out to help,
but all were refused by Ye Yu.
Currently, the Celestial Sect led by the Tenfold Dao had already begun acting against the Three Corpses Hall.
They aimed to annihilate all the evil immortals in the central Celestial Realm within a year.
But the Three Corpses Hall was no pushover.
They began mounting a counterattack as well.
On the way back, Ye Yu encountered many battles among immortals.
Thus, the current situation was somewhat turbulent.
If he acted separately from his wives, Ye Yu would worry about their safety.
But searching together was pointless.
So after settling his wives,
Ye Yu alone set off on the path to find Lin Miaoxue.
Little did he know, someone was already watching him.
