4658 Yu Xiao
The young girl standing in front of Duan Ling Tian looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old. Her hair was tied into two braids that framed her delicate face, which would evoke admiration from others. Although he had never met her before, he had heard about her on more than one occasion.

The girl was Yu Xiao, the Second City Governor of the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities. She was the ‘second sister’ of Xue Qing Zhu, the wife of Duan Ling Tian’s master.

“Senior Aunt Yu,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Yu Xiao with a wry smile on his face. Despite her appearance, his seniority was lower than hers, and he could only address her as such. After all, she was the second sister of his master’s wife.

Yu Xiao laughed heartily in response. She looked very optimistic compared to his old friends who were rather pessimistic after being sent to this world.

The duo chatted for a while. Duan Ling Tian learned that Yu Xiao was also aware of the Life Creation Chart and the speculation that the Myriad Worlds and Outer Boundary were created by the Life Creation Chart.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Senior Aunt Yu, do you have any plans to gather the people from the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities? After all, they’re likely scattered all over the Divine Land.”

“No, I’m too lazy for that,” Yu Xiao said with a yawn and shook her head, “Let’s just leave this matter to Qing Yang. I’ll stay with you and wait for Seventh Sister and Qing Yang to show up.”

Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Yu Xiao’s lazy demeanor. He had long heard about her from his master, and now that he had met her, he could not help but feel amazed. How did such a lazy person, who was a Saint before entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, become a level-seven supreme powerhouse after entering the pagoda? She was the second level-seven supreme powerhouse in the Jin Dynasty’s Thirteen Cities, following in the footsteps of Xue Qing Zhu. In the Divine Land, even without the laws, she was a level-seven Dao Establishment cultivator.

“Senior Aunt Yu, I heard from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s Zhao An Yi that apart from the absence of laws, he also could not use his bloodline power. Is it the same for you?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

Yu Xiao nodded. “I can’t use my bloodline power as well. If I’m not mistaken, bloodline powers are also related to the laws just like the doppelgangers. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages…”

Among cultivators, those who had bloodline powers could not form doppelgangers from the laws, and those who could form doppelgangers did not possess bloodline powers. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. Alas, in this world, they could no longer use these two techniques.

Duan Ling Tian knew that it was almost impossible to return to the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary now that they had been seemingly destroyed. Perhaps there was a glimmer of hope if he could obtain the Life Creation Chart to restore them. However, the difficulty of this task was extremely high. Needless to say, he still wanted to try. After all, for him and the others, that world was their home.

“Senior Aunt Yu, since you plan to stay here, what do you think if I leave you in charge of this place? If you agree, I plan to travel and make a name for myself so that we’ll be reunited with the others quickly. If I meet master and his wife, I’ll let them know you’re here so they can find you,” Duan Ling Tian suggested, “All you need to do is stay here and cultivate while you protect my family and friends.”

As a level-seven Dao Establishment cultivator, it was not difficult for Yu Xiao to ensure everyone’s safety. Duan Ling Tian did not plan to bring too many people with him. At most, he would bring Huan’er and Ke’er who had comprehended the Dao. It was safer for those who had yet to comprehend the Dao to stay here.

“Very well, I have no objection to that,” Yu Xiao said with a nod, “Moreover, this task is more suited for you. It’s easier for you to make a name for yourself as a level-eight Dao Establishment cultivator. Moreover, even ordinary level-nine Dao Establishment cultivators might not be a match for you.”

Due to her relationship with Xue Qing Zhu, Yu Xiao was aware that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Sword Dao to the eighth stage and that his comprehension of the Mastery Dao and Limitless Dao was also quite profound.

“Alright, it’s settled then,” Duan Ling Tian said, sighing in relief. With this, he would be able to leave with peace of mind.

…

After Duan Ling Tian parted ways with Yu Xiao, he gathered his family and friends and told them about his plan to leave the Distinct Province. He planned to make a name for himself in other places, hoping to reunite with the others who had yet to be found.

Needless to say, most of Duan Ling Tian’s family and friends wanted to accompany him. However, in the end, he only allowed Huan’er and Ke’er to accompany him. After all, the duo had already comprehended the Dao. It was safer for the others to stay back and cultivate.

Li Fei and Feng Tian Wu did not have any objections regarding this matter. After staying in the Distinct Province for a while, they found that it was a good place to stay.

As for Han Xue Nai and Little Gold, they were a bit disappointed that they could not follow Duan Ling Tian. With this, their desire to become stronger grew. They decided to focus on cultivating so they could become level-seven supreme powerhouses as soon as they could.

After telling everyone about his plan, Duan Ling Tian also introduced Yu Xiao to them. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming to her. After all, she was Xue Qing Zhu’s second sister.

…

A few days later.

“Senior Aunt Yu, I’ll leave my family and friends to you…”

Duan Ling Tian bid farewell to everyone before he left with Huan’er and Ke’er.

Apart from his family and friends, even the Ascending Clouds Sage from the Misty Cloud Sect came to send him off. Although he was slightly disappointed about Duan Ling Tian’s departure, he quickly became excited again when he recalled the insight regarding the Sword Dao that he had gained from Duan Ling Tian. His efforts during this time were not in vain at all. Thinking of this, he was even more determined to perform well during Duan Ling Tian’s absence. If he could win Duan Ling Tian’s favor, there was nothing he could not achieve regarding the Sword Dao.

…

At the same time.

Ke’er asked curiously, “Brother Tian, where are we going after we leave the Distinct Province?”

Until now Duan Ling Tian had not told Ke’er and Huan’er about their destination after leaving the capital city of the Distinct Province.

Duan Ling Tian replied, “We’re going to the River Province. It’s the core territory of the Surging River Divine Kingdom.”
