"It surely can't be the Ghost Slayer, right? He's only four hundred something years old, isn't that a bit too young?"

"None of them." Upon hearing this, the Immortal Ming Yue immediately raised an eyebrow, and with a blank expression, transmitted the words: "Four hundred years old is not young. Besides, cultivators mainly look at their cultivation, age doesn't really matter."

"How can there be no difference?" Ling Xiu said with a face full of disdain, "Look at Zi Yun, over two thousand years old and yet became Dao companions with Wu Wei who is only eight hundred years old, and Wu Wei is even her disciple's disciple."

Ming Yue had a strange expression, "They're only a thousand years apart, it's not too bad."

"But that's over a thousand years." Ling Xiu looked at Ming Yue in surprise, "And you weren't saying that before. I remember last time you told me that seeing Zi Yun and Wu Wei together felt like watching a grandmother with her grandson."

"Did I say that? I don't remember." Ming Yue rubbed her mouth, "Even if I did, I've changed my mind now. I think age doesn't matter at all for cultivators.

Someone young could still be stunningly talented, with unfathomable cultivation, while someone thousands or tens of thousands of years old might have mediocre cultivation, just one of those insignificant figures in the Heavenly Court, like Yan Zhenjun and his gang of friends."

"That's true, but I still find it strange. Anyway, I can't accept anyone older than a thousand years old." Ling Xiu said, and then looked at Ming Yue, "By the way, who exactly is the Immortal? It can't be a true god, right?"

Ming Yue said, "The Heavenly Venerable asked me to keep it a secret, but you'll know at the grand wedding in three months."

At this point, Ming Yue felt increasingly relieved that the Heavenly Venerable had temporarily concealed Zhou Bai's identity, or one could imagine the tremendous stir that would occur, with various true gods... and even some immortals opposing, she and Zhou Bai would become the center of a vortex in the next three months.

Although Ling Xiu had many speculations, for her, if it turned out to be a true god, that would be surprising and thrilling enough, as for a mere mortal? She never even considered the possibility.

After the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, the Immortals and Gods created immortal and god seeds, but it was only with the essence and blood as a guide, planted and grown within cultivated arrays and magical artifacts. It was extremely rare for Immortals and Gods to actually combine with mortals.

And while the two female immortals communicated with each other telepathically, from Zhou Bai's perspective, it looked like the two of them were just staring blankly at each other, and he couldn't hear a word of what they were saying.

Seeing that the two seemed likely to chat for a long while, Zhou Bai couldn't help but interrupt, "Ahem, you guys continue chatting, I'm going down to Central City for a stroll."

Ming Yue's eyes narrowed as she sharply turned her head to glare at Zhou Bai, "What are you going out for? Stay here and cultivate properly."

Unlike Xuan Nu's endless appeasement, Ming Yue, a woman who had been single for over two thousand years, was very independent and self-sufficient, with a strong and steadfast Dao heart. Once she made a decision, it wasn't something easily changed. Though she admired Zhou Bai, she wouldn't take him as the main influence, rather she had her own ideas.

For Ming Yue, marrying Zhou Bai, liking and admiring him might only be a small part of the reasons, while the rest involved the revival of the human race, fortune, resources, and alterations in the foundation, which were far more crucial.

Now she felt Zhou Bai would be safer staying here, preferably until the wedding was over.

'Sigh, Ming Yue is much more troublesome than Xuan Nu.'

Zhou Bai thought for a moment and said, "I just want to go out and see some old friends who are staying in Central City."

Zhou Bai transmitted the message, "Nobody knows my identity right now, plus with my strength, don't worry, there won't be any danger."

Ming Yue looked at Zhou Bai's persistent eyes and finally could only nod reluctantly, "Then hurry and come back. Make sure you return home before nine o'clock tonight."

Ming Yue warned, "Don't act recklessly outside, and don't think you're invincible just because you defeated Xiang Tiandi. After the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, all immortals and gods have had their powers greatly diminished, and it's only after the God Emperor comprehended the Taiwei Nine Stars algorithm that their cultivation began recovering quickly, and the strength of immortals and gods is improving every moment. Just because you won this time, doesn't mean you can win next time."

"Got it." The restrictions within and outside the manor had long been open to Zhou Bai. With a word, he swiftly flew out.

Ling Xiu chuckled from the side, "Why did you set a return time? You're acting like his mom." Suddenly she seemed to have realized something, "Could it be that this Ming Ri is the immortal and god seed you created? Didn't you say you didn't want to create immortal and god seeds?"

"If not, how about just adopting him as your son, it's so much better than whatever brother."

Upon hearing these words, Ming Yue's face turned dark, and she said coldly, "Ling Xiu, we haven't sparred for a long time, have we? How about a few rounds?"

Ling Xiu laughed, "Didn't you lose to that Sky Flipping Sect and Zhou Bai with Tian Yangzi last time, even the Invisible Evil was extracted? Are you sure you want to spar with me?"

Ming Yue smiled faintly, pressing her deformed weapon 'Golden Light Trapping Sky Banner' behind her back, with a smile: "Winning or losing isn't important, it's just about exchanging Dao techniques."

On the other side, Zhou Bai had already flown down from Wanxian Island, descending towards Central City below.

"I'll first look for Zuo Dao to see if I can find the whereabouts of Primitive Dao Treasury 08."

"Ming Yue! Stop right there!" Suddenly, a sharp shout came, Zhou Bai looked back, puzzled, "What are these two old women playing at?"

...

In the misty fog, Zuo Dao seemed to see Vice-President Yun Chonghe's scene of speaking to him before he went to Central City.

"Since the Heavenly Dao was distorted and the Heavenly Demons invaded, the human elite has suffered heavy casualties, and countless heritages have been cut off."

"And the Heavenly Court ruling over humanity has planned the Four Great Taoist Schools, gathering a large number of human elites to research the distortion and aberration of the Heavenly Dao, and has seized a significant amount of Daoist Sect heritage."

"Since then, the Heavenly Court has become the highest heritage site for human daoism, and has converged over seventy percent of all human cultivation resources."

"If human elites want to go further, to enhance their cultivation, they inevitably have to make a trip to Central City, hoping to learn the mysteries of the immortal Dao and verify what they have learned, also to revive humanity."

Yun Chonghe sighed deeply: "You don't know the impact I felt the first time I arrived at Central City and witnessed the laws being performed by the Heavenly Court's immortals.

It was the first time we realized the power of immortals and gods, and during our studies, we experienced the prosperity of Central City.

It can be said that we as cultivators from those four big cities faced discrimination in Central City; during those years my classmates and I almost practiced day and night, with a burning desire, hoping to someday achieve success in cultivation and stand proudly among the heroes."

"But as we continued our studies and practices, the more we realized the gap between mortals and immortals, the gap between the four big cities and Central City; realized how much our cultivation conditions would degrade after leaving Central City."
