Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1971: Chapter 1967: Setting Out for the Depths of the Starry Sea (Part 2)

Xue An quietly looked at her and finally smiled slightly, nodding, "Very well, if you’re willing to go, then let’s head there together. Be careful on the road!"

"Understood!" Gong Yunjun replied solemnly, then turned and left, striving her utmost not to look at Xue An during the entire process.

After experiencing so much, she had come to understand a truth: the thread of hope in her heart should now be let go.

Unexpectedly, she did not feel very sad at all; instead, she felt a sense of relief.

Especially when she saw Xue An successfully leave seclusion and overwhelm the heroes, she felt genuinely happy.

In fact, her current thought was simple; as long as he is well, she is content.

If she could do something more for Xue An, she would be even happier.

The two women did not delay; they soared into the sky, transforming into two streaks of light that vanished beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Xue An then said in a deep voice, "Now I have one more thing to announce: I must temporarily leave the Pure Land Buddhist Country for a while."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd was stunned.

"Hierarch, where are you going?"

"Yes, if there’s anything, just order us to do it; I’ll go on your behalf!"

The group said in unison.

Xue An smiled, "This matter must be handled by me; none of you can replace me!"

"So where exactly are you going?" Yue Ji asked.

Xue An’s eyes shone brilliantly, and he said softly, "Deep within the Starry Sea!"

Yue Ji’s pupils contracted instantly, and a retort of "No" nearly escaped his throat.

But Xue An just laughed, "I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, I know my limits."

With that, Xue An stood up and went to the window. Outside was a vast sea of clouds, bathed in golden light, making the entire core pure land appear supremely sacred and solemn.

"Right now, our strength is still too weak. Even if we unite with the Esoteric Sect, it is far from enough, for eighty percent of the cultivators in the Multiverse come from the major sects deep within the Starry Sea. If we can’t unite them, to fight against this great calamity is destined to be a fool’s dream."

"Moreover, back when I was an Immortal Venerable, I left behind many forces. Now so much time has passed, I should go back and check on them!"

As he spoke, Xue An turned to look at Yue Ji and the others, saying softly, "So I must go this time."

A silence fell over the crowd, but soon Yue Ji stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said, "If so, then allow this poor monk to accompany you, my lord!"

Yue Ji had been in charge of Zhuo Jialuo’s Dingchan Temple for hundreds of years and was well-informed, naturally aware of the current situation outside.

Nearly every major sect had issued a kill order against Xue An.

However, because Xue An was in the Pure Land Buddhist Country and heavily isolated, these sects couldn’t find him for the time being.

But if Xue An appeared deep within the Starry Sea, the situation would instantly become incredibly dangerous.

To be safe, he planned to follow along.

Yet Xue An lightly chuckled and shook his head, "No need. The Pure Land Buddhist Country is so vast, with countless affairs; they can’t do without you there. I will go alone!"

"But...," Yue Ji was still somewhat anxious.

Xue An said softly, "Don’t worry, this time leaving seclusion, I’ve already broken through to the Immortal King realm, attaining a Half-step Immortal Emperor. Even if these sects join forces to hunt me, they still won’t be able to harm me!"

As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed through Xue An’s eyes, warm and jade-like.

In an instant, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire banquet hall, making everyone’s expressions change.

Yue Ji backed away again and again, finally bowing his head, "Yes!"

Finally, this banquet ended just like that.

Everyone felt a weight in their hearts and dispersed afterward.

Even An Yan led the two little girls and Xiao Yingluo away temporarily.

Only one person did not leave; it was Yue Sha.

When the entire Zen room was left with just the two of them, Xue An deeply looked at him, then asked in a deep voice, "Does that young girl know about your situation?"

Yue Sha was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No, not only does she not know, even my senior brother does not know."

Xue An couldn’t help but sigh, "So it’s like this. What do you plan to do next?"

Yue Sha gave a light laugh, "Previously, I planned to bring Ying Lou back to the Pure Land, settle her properly, and then leave, but now that this issue has come up, I naturally cannot ignore it. In ten years, I should still be able to endure."

Xue An’s eyes showed a trace of pity. After pondering briefly, he softly said, "I can try to help you; maybe the outcome will be different."

Yue Sha shook his head with a smile, "It’s useless. I used my Zen heart’s divine skills rashly to perceive and intervene in my former life, which already disrupted the heavenly order, so now, no one can save me!"

Indeed!

Yue Sha nowadays, in reality, had long been dead.

But only under the double blessing of his strong wish and Zen heart did he manage to hold on until now.

Yet such a situation is destined to be unsustainable; eventually, he will die from the collapse of his consciousness, which is why Xue An said such a thing.

Looking at Yue Sha, whose face was full of smiles, Xue An couldn’t help but finally ask the question.

"Is what you’re doing truly worth it?"

"Do you know? My senior brother asked me that once too. I answered at the time that it didn’t matter if it was worth it or not, and my answer remains the same now. Besides..."

Yue Sha gave a light laugh, his eyes full of nostalgia, "Traversing thousands of waters and mountains with her, I am already very satisfied."

"So I hope you won’t tell her about these things. For the next ten years, just let me accompany her well!" Yue Sha said with a calm expression.

Xue An remained silent for a moment and finally nodded heavily, "Alright! I promise you!"

"Thank you very much!" Yue Sha said sincerely.

After Yue Sha left, Xue An turned back into the Magic Treasures Pavilion.

Surprisingly, it was tranquil within the Magic Treasures Pavilion.

When he walked into the living room, An Yan was quietly waiting for him on the sofa, with a bowl of steaming noodles on the tea table in front of her.

Xue An slightly smiled and, without speaking, sat down and picked up the bowl to eat.

Soon, the bowl of noodles was all gone.

An Yan gently wiped the food remnants from the corner of Xue An’s mouth, then lightly leaned against his arms.

"Husband!"

"Hmm?"

"Can you take me with you?"

Xue An laughed, "What do you think?"

"Oh!" An Yan responded sullenly and then said no more.

Xue An gently pinched her cheek, but An Yan didn’t react.

Seeing this, Xue An couldn’t help but laugh, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Silly, the reason I’m not letting you follow isn’t that it’s too dangerous, but because you have more important things to handle here!"

"What things?" An Yan was taken aback.

Xue An smiled slightly, then said, "I’m going to summon past forces, and this pure land will be the main base. You must guard it well; manage it well, so I won’t have anything to worry about, understood?"
