### Chapter 2547 — Returning To Chen Ti Village
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan continued traveling in the carriage.
The morning slowly passed.
The forests and deserts stretched endlessly around them.
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly controlled the carriage while Yang Lin sat beside her.
The two remained quiet for most of the journey.
Several hours slowly passed.
By evening—
the carriage finally returned to the outskirts of Chen Ti Village.
The familiar surroundings appeared before them.
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled slightly.
"We're back."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Yes."
The carriage continued moving toward the village.
The evening sunlight illuminated Chen Ti Village.
The peaceful village remained almost exactly as they had left it.
By night—
the carriage arrived at the middle of Chen Ti Village.
A few villagers who were still awake noticed the carriage.
Some looked over with curiosity.
Others recognized Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Their expressions contained slight surprise.
They quietly watched the two continue through the village.
By midnight—
the carriage finally arrived at the previous carriage shop.
The shop was quiet.
Only a small spiritual lamp remained lit outside.
Chaoran Zhi Quan stopped the carriage.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan both got down.
After a moment—
the shopkeeper came out.
He looked toward Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"You're back."
Chaoran Zhi Quan nodded.
"Yes."
"Take the carriage back."
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised.
"You're selling it back?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan nodded.
"Yes."
The shopkeeper accepted the carriage.
Then he returned the one hundred Low Grade Sprite Stones.
Chaoran Zhi Quan took them.
She calmly said,
"I sold it back because it's no use."
Yang Lin calmly stood beside her.
He didn't say anything.
A few villagers who were still awake looked toward them from a distance.
There weren't many.
Some were standing outside their homes.
Others were walking along the quiet village road.
When they saw Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan returning without the carriage, their expressions showed slight curiosity.
However—
none of them came over.
The village soon became quiet again.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan then began walking.
They walked several miles through the peaceful village.
The night was silent.
The moonlight illuminated the road.
The two continued toward the private courtyard.
Several hours slowly passed.
Eventually—
they arrived at the private courtyard.
Yang Lin calmly opened the entrance.
Chaoran Zhi Quan followed him inside.
---
### Chapter 2548 — Transcendence Tea
Inside the private courtyard—
Grandpa Lu was calmly sitting near the round table.
A cup of Transcendence tea was beside him.
The faint fragrance of the tea spread through the courtyard.
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward the entrance.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan walked inside.
Yang Lin calmly said,
"We are back."
Grandpa Lu smiled.
"Come."
"Take a seat."
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan walked toward the round table.
Both sat down.
Grandpa Lu calmly picked up the Transcendence tea.
He poured two cups.
One was placed in front of Yang Lin.
The other was placed in front of Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Yang Lin calmly picked up the cup.
He took a sip.
Chaoran Zhi Quan also tasted the tea.
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward them.
"What happened?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly began explaining.
She talked about leaving Chen Ti Village.
She explained how they bought the special carriage.
She explained how the carriage used Low Grade Sprite Stones.
She talked about traveling through the forests and deserts.
Then she explained their arrival at the Dao Kingdom.
She described the beautiful city.
The many shops.
The restaurants.
The mortal streets.
The cultivators living among the mortals.
She also explained how they stayed at the pavilion.
Then she talked about exploring the kingdom.
Finally—
she explained their return journey.
Grandpa Lu quietly listened.
Yang Lin calmly drank his tea.
After Chaoran Zhi Quan finished explaining—
she stood up.
"I'll prepare dinner."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Alright."
Chaoran Zhi Quan walked into the kitchen.
Grandpa Lu looked toward Yang Lin.
"How was it?"
Yang Lin calmly looked toward him.
"What?"
Grandpa Lu suddenly laughed.
Yang Lin calmly sighed.
Chaoran Zhi Quan was inside the kitchen preparing dinner.
She didn't hear their conversation.
Grandpa Lu continued smiling.
Yang Lin calmly drank his Transcendence tea.
After some time—
Chaoran Zhi Quan came out of the kitchen.
She carried dinner to the round table.
She placed the dishes down.
Then she sat beside Yang Lin.
Yang Lin calmly looked at the food.
"Nice."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
"Taste it."
Grandpa Lu also picked up some food.
He tasted it.
After a moment—
he calmly said,
"Not bad."
The three continued eating.
The peaceful night remained around them.
---
### Chapter 2549 — Peaceful Days
The three finished their dinner.
The night gradually became deeper.
The moon quietly illuminated the private courtyard.
Yang Lin calmly sat near the round table.
Chaoran Zhi Quan sat beside him.
Grandpa Lu remained seated nearby.
The peaceful atmosphere continued.
A few hours later—
early morning arrived.
The darkness slowly disappeared.
The first rays of sunlight appeared over Chen Ti Village.
Yang Lin calmly stood up.
Chaoran Zhi Quan also stood up.
The peaceful days continued.
Days slowly became weeks.
Weeks slowly became months.
Yang Lin and Chaoran Zhi Quan did not go here and there very much.
Most of their time was spent in Chen Ti Village.
They watched the sunrise.
They watched the sunset.
They walked through the village.
Sometimes they went into the nearby forest.
Sometimes they simply sat near the private courtyard.
The peaceful life continued.
Almost six months slowly passed.
During those six months—
some cultivators occasionally noticed Yang Lin.
They looked toward him with curiosity.
Some could sense that he was unusual.
Others simply passed by.
Yang Lin did not care.
He calmly continued living his peaceful life.
Chaoran Zhi Quan also remained in the village.
However—
she did not smile as often toward Yang Lin as before.
Grandpa Lu slowly noticed this.
One day—
he calmly looked toward Yang Lin.
"What is going on between you and Chaoran Zhi Quan?"
Yang Lin calmly looked toward Grandpa Lu.
He remained silent for a moment.
Then—
he calmly said,
"A year ago, I came to Chen Ti Village."
Grandpa Lu quietly listened.
Yang Lin looked toward the slowly rising sun.
The golden sunlight spread across the village.
Then Yang Lin turned back toward Grandpa Lu.
"Maybe she is avoiding me because she doesn't want to fall in love with me that fast."
"Perhaps she is avoiding me."
"Or perhaps she has no feelings at all."
"Either way..."
"It's her choice."
Yang Lin calmly stood up.
"I'm leaving."
"When she wakes up, give her this."
Grandpa Lu's expression changed slightly.
Yang Lin raised his right hand.
---
### Chapter 2550 — The Gifts
On Yang Lin's right hand—
a beautiful blue sword appeared.
The sword was extremely extraordinary.
Its blade was long and elegant.
A deep blue light flowed across its surface.
Fine patterns covered the blade.
The sword emitted an immense aura.
It was an Immortal Supreme Top-Tier blue sword.
Beside it—
ten thousand High Grade Sprite Stones appeared.
Their brilliant spiritual light illuminated Yang Lin's right hand.
Then—
a beautiful necklace appeared.
The necklace was delicate.
A small blue crystal rested at its center.
A faint protective power surrounded it.
It could protect Chaoran Zhi Quan from an Immortal Emperor Supreme ten times.
It could even withstand a direct attack from a Dao Severing Realm cultivator.
However—
after withstanding such a direct attack—
the necklace would break.
All of these appeared on Yang Lin's right hand.
Yang Lin calmly took out a Transcendence Grade Storage Ring.
He placed the ten thousand High Grade Sprite Stones inside.
Then he placed the blue sword and the necklace together with the storage ring.
He calmly handed them to Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu was beyond shocked.
He looked at the items in his hands.
"These are all for Chaoran Zhi Quan?"
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"These are nothing."
"They're my thank-you gift to her."
Grandpa Lu remained speechless for a moment.
Then he calmly asked,
"Aren't you going to give this to her personally when she wakes up?"
Yang Lin calmly shook his head.
"No."
"I'm leaving."
Grandpa Lu looked toward him.
Yang Lin then raised his right hand again.
Out of Nothingness—
a green sword appeared.
It was a Transcendence Realm Late Stage Peak sword.
The sword was long and elegant.
A deep green light flowed around its blade.
Dragon-like patterns covered its surface.
A faint roar of a green dragon seemed to echo from within the sword.
Yang Lin calmly handed it to Grandpa Lu.
"This is for you."
Grandpa Lu looked at the green sword.
His expression became even more complicated.
Yang Lin calmly turned around.
He walked toward the entrance of the private courtyard.
He slowly stepped outside.
Then—
he closed the entrance.
Yang Lin walked several meters away.
His appearance slowly changed.
His clothes changed back into his familiar dark purple-black robes.
His calm expression remained unchanged.
He looked toward Chen Ti Village one last time.
Then—
Yang Lin flew into the sky.
---
### Chapter 2551 — Leaving Chen Ti Village
Yang Lin flew away from Chen Ti Village.
The village gradually became smaller behind him.
He calmly looked forward.
"Those cultivators might come for Chen Ti Village."
"So I must leave."
"Many cultivators noticed me."
"But no one noticed that I am from Chen Ti Village."
"They won't come here."
Yang Lin calmly continued flying.
His expression remained peaceful.
"Those Immortal Emperor Realm Early Stage cultivators are really something."
He flew farther and farther away.
The distance between him and Chen Ti Village rapidly increased.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the distant sky.
"Chaoran Zhi Quan..."
"Stay safe."
He then increased his speed.
Two thousand light-years ahead—
Yang Lin passed through several Ninth-Stage Cultivation Kingdoms.
The magnificent cultivation kingdoms appeared beneath him.
He continued forward without stopping.
He then passed through the same Ancient Immortal forces in the Northern Domain.
The enormous forces remained beneath him.
Their powerful cultivators could not notice his presence.
Yang Lin calmly continued forward.
Eventually—
the surrounding land changed.
The beautiful cultivation kingdoms disappeared behind him.
A vast desert-like region appeared.
Yang Lin flew across the enormous area.
The desert stretched endlessly.
Eventually—
he arrived at the shore of the Northern Domain's Honli Ocean.
Yang Lin calmly landed near the shore.
The vast Honli Ocean stretched before him.
The waves quietly moved across the surface.
Yang Lin raised his right hand.
A ten-meter-long Origin Space Ship appeared.
It was the same Origin Space Ship he had used before.
Yang Lin calmly placed it onto the Honli Ocean.
The dark screen above the control room slowly turned into Nothingness.
Yang Lin stepped inside.
The dark screen appeared above the control room again.
He naturally sat at the front.
The Origin Space Ship slowly moved.
Then—
it flew toward the Central Domain.
Its speed reached ten thousand light-years per second.
---
### Chapter 2552 — The Journey To The Central Domain
The Origin Space Ship rapidly traveled across the vast distance.
Yang Lin calmly sat at the front.
The Honli Ocean gradually disappeared behind him.
The Northern Domain became distant.
The Origin Space Ship continued forward.
Ten thousand light-years per second.
The enormous distance between the Northern Domain and Central Domain rapidly disappeared.
Yang Lin calmly looked ahead.
His expression remained peaceful.
Meanwhile—
back in Chen Ti Village—
the early morning sunlight slowly appeared.
Chaoran Zhi Quan woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes.
After getting up—
she walked outside the private courtyard.
The morning sunlight illuminated her beautiful face.
She looked around.
Then she saw Grandpa Lu calmly looking toward the blue sky.
Chaoran Zhi Quan quietly called,
"Grandpa."
Grandpa Lu turned around.
He looked toward her.
"I have to tell you something."
Chaoran Zhi Quan was confused.
"What is it, Grandpa?"
She looked around the private courtyard.
Then her expression changed.
"Where is Yang Lin?"
"Did he go to see the sunrise?"
Grandpa Lu calmly shook his head.
"No."
"He left Chen Ti Village this morning."
Chaoran Zhi Quan froze.
Her beautiful eyes widened.
"What?"
"Grandpa..."
"You aren't joking, right?"
Grandpa Lu calmly shook his head.
"No."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked around again.
Yang Lin was nowhere to be seen.
Then—
she noticed the items Grandpa Lu was holding on his right side.
Her eyes focused on them.
"Those are...?"
Grandpa Lu calmly looked at the items.
"Yang Lin left them for you."
"He said they were a thank-you gift."
Chaoran Zhi Quan slowly approached.
Grandpa Lu handed her the Immortal Supreme Top-Tier blue sword.
Then the necklace.
Then the Transcendence Grade Storage Ring containing ten thousand High Grade Sprite Stones.
Chaoran Zhi Quan held the items tightly.
Tears slowly appeared in her eyes.
"Why did he leave?"
She hugged the items Yang Lin had given her.
---
### Chapter 2553 — The Sealed Memories
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"Yang Lin was here for only a year."
"So he left."
Chaoran Zhi Quan cried quietly.
"Isn't it because..."
"I didn't talk with him much?"
Grandpa Lu calmly shook his head.
"Yang Lin didn't talk with you either."
"It's not the reason."
Then—
Grandpa Lu calmly said,
"Get ready."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked toward him in confusion.
"For what?"
Grandpa Lu calmly raised his right hand.
"To unlock your memories."
His right hand pointed toward her head.
A gentle power entered her consciousness.
Chaoran Zhi Quan's sealed memories slowly returned.
One memory after another appeared.
At the same time—
her sealed cultivation returned.
Heaven Immortal Realm Tenth Stage.
Chaoran Zhi Quan's eyes widened.
"All along..."
"I was a cultivator?"
Grandpa Lu calmly nodded.
"Yes."
"I only wanted to temper you."
Chaoran Zhi Quan slowly looked toward him.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Then she asked,
"What cultivation realm are you in?"
Grandpa Lu calmly answered,
"Transcendence Realm Late Stage Peak."
Chaoran Zhi Quan was shocked.
She looked toward Grandpa Lu.
Then she looked back at the items Yang Lin had left.
Tears appeared in her eyes again.
She held them tightly.
Then she looked toward Grandpa Lu.
"Grandpa..."
"Tell me the truth."
"Who is Yang Lin exactly?"
Grandpa Lu calmly answered,
"He is a cultivator at the Immortal King Realm Early Stage."
Chaoran Zhi Quan was stunned.
Grandpa Lu continued,
"But he knows things better than I do."
Chaoran Zhi Quan's expression changed.
"When did you notice?"
Grandpa Lu calmly said,
"From the beginning."
"He saw through my cultivation."
"Even before coming in the private courtyard a year ago."
"He also knew that I was sealing your cultivation to temper you."
"I knew this nearly a year ago."
Chaoran Zhi Quan remained silent.
Then Grandpa Lu calmly asked,
"Why did you ignore him?"
"I never did."
"I just didn't find the moment to say my feelings."
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward her.
"Yang Lin was right."
"You didn't want to fall in love that fast."
Chaoran Zhi Quan's beautiful face became completely red.
She looked toward the distant sky.
"Yang Lin..."
"I'll find you sooner or later."
---
### Chapter 2554 — The Sword Dao Sect
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"Since you want to go to the Central Domain..."
"You need to improve your cultivation quickly."
He took out a three-colored Law Pill.
The pill contained three different flowing lights.
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at it.
Grandpa Lu handed it to her.
She accepted it.
Then she sat down.
The surrounding spiritual energy slowly gathered.
Chaoran Zhi Quan began cultivating.
The three-colored Law Pill entered her body.
Power surged through her cultivation.
Her aura gradually became stronger.
The surrounding space trembled slightly.
After some time—
a powerful aura spread outward.
Chaoran Zhi Quan successfully broke through.
Immortal King Realm Early Stage.
Grandpa Lu calmly looked toward her.
"Not bad."
Chaoran Zhi Quan opened her eyes.
She was excited.
"I'm going to find Yang Lin."
Grandpa Lu calmly shook his head.
"No."
"You need to increase your cultivation."
"So join the sect I found an era ago."
Chaoran Zhi Quan was surprised.
"Which sect?"
Grandpa Lu calmly answered,
"The Sword Dao Sect."
Chaoran Zhi Quan's expression changed.
"The Sword Dao Sect?"
"I remember."
"The one Grandpa told me that I would go to one day..."
"That was your sect?"
Grandpa Lu nodded.
"Yes."
Chaoran Zhi Quan stood up.
She changed her clothes.
Her blue-white cultivation robe covered her body elegantly.
The robe had beautiful flowing patterns.
The upper part was slightly open around her chest, revealing a small portion while remaining elegant.
The long sleeves flowed naturally.
The lower part of the robe extended downward in layered blue-white fabric.
Her long black hair fell naturally around her shoulders.
Her beautiful face remained calm.
She looked like an elegant cultivator who had just awakened from a long period of sealing.
Grandpa Lu also changed his clothes.
He wore his green dragon cultivation robe.
A powerful green dragon pattern covered the robe.
His aura became that of a powerful cultivator.
Grandpa Lu walked out of the private courtyard.
Chaoran Zhi Quan followed.
Both flew into the sky.
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked back toward Chen Ti Village.
"Thank you, Chen Ti Village."
Then—
she followed Grandpa Lu toward the center region of the Northern Domain.
---
### Chapter 2555 — The Sword Dao Sect
The center region of the Northern Domain was vast.
The strongest Cultivation Kingdoms stood throughout the region.
Ancient Immortal forces were also everywhere.
Among them—
the Sword Dao Sect was one of the strongest Ancient Immortal Sects.
Grandpa Lu and Chaoran Zhi Quan finally arrived.
A magnificent sect appeared before them.
Massive mountains stretched into the sky.
Sword intent filled the surroundings.
Countless sword-shaped peaks stood throughout the sect.
Large spiritual waterfalls descended from the mountains.
Ancient pavilions and palaces stood among the clouds.
The entire sect was surrounded by powerful formations.
Grandpa Lu calmly flew forward.
Chaoran Zhi Quan followed behind him.
They passed through the outer region.
Then—
they entered the inner region.
The inner region was even more magnificent.
Powerful cultivators could be seen everywhere.
Eventually—
they arrived at the Main Hall.
Inside the Main Hall—
twelve elders sat on both sides.
Six on the left.
Six on the right.
All twelve were Dao Severing Realm Early Stage cultivators.
When Grandpa Lu entered with Chaoran Zhi Quan—
all twelve elders stood up.
They respectfully looked toward Chaoran Zhi Quan.
"Welcome back, Holy Maiden."
Chaoran Zhi Quan calmly nodded.
However—
only one person occupied her mind.
One person occupied her heart.
Yang Lin.
Grandpa Lu calmly walked forward.
He sat down on the Sect Master's seat.
Chaoran Zhi Quan walked toward the seat beside the six elders on the right side.
She calmly sat down.
Her expression remained peaceful.
But deep within her heart—
she was thinking about Yang Lin.
Meanwhile—
far away in the Honli ocean—
Yang Lin calmly sat inside the Origin Space Ship.
He looked ahead.
"Congratulations, Chaoran Zhi Quan."
The Origin Space Ship continued forward.
---
### Chapter 2556 — Returning To The Heaven Cutter Sect
A few hours later—
the Origin Space Ship finally arrived at the shore of the Central Domain.
The vast land appeared before Yang Lin.
The dark glass above the control room slowly turned into Nothingness.
Yang Lin calmly stepped out.
He landed on the Central Domain.
Yang Lin looked toward the vast land.
"Central Domain."
He calmly raised his right hand.
The Origin Space Ship appeared on his right hand.
It slowly turned into Nothingness.
Yang Lin then flew forward.
His speed was extremely fast.
He passed through many Ancient Immortal forces.
Even Dao Severing Realm cultivators could not see him.
The surrounding landscapes rapidly disappeared behind him.
Yang Lin continued flying.
After a few seconds—
he arrived at the Heaven Cutter Sect.
It was already almost evening.
Yang Lin entered the outer region.
Then he continued toward the Central Mountain.
Soon—
the Central Mountain appeared before him.
In front of the Main Hall—
Lu Sunyu, Zi Xian Lu, Qiuyue Lu, Yao Qiufei, Mo Yulu, Cu Yuner, and Cu Long were waiting.
Yang Lin flew over.
He calmly landed in front of the Main Hall monument.
The moment he landed—
Lu Sunyu, Zi Xian Lu, Qiuyue Lu, Yao Qiufei, and Mo Yulu immediately rushed toward him.
They hugged Yang Lin tightly.
Yang Lin calmly said,
"Hold up a second."
They didn't listen.
They continued hugging him.
Several minutes slowly passed.
Finally—
they released him.
Yang Lin calmly looked at them.
"You all..."
He sighed.
They were all angry.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward them.
"Well..."
"I went to experience a nostalgic feeling from where I'm from."
"So I didn't break it by telling you all."
Lu Sunyu calmly looked toward him.
"Let's go in."
Zi Xian Lu, Qiuyue Lu, Yao Qiufei, and Mo Yulu were no longer angry.
Cu Yuner and Cu Long smiled.
"Yang Lin."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Alright."
Yang Lin, Lu Sunyu, Zi Xian Lu, Qiuyue Lu, Yao Qiufei, Mo Yulu, Cu Yuner, and Cu Long all entered the Main Hall.
Yang Lin calmly sat down at the center.
Lu Sunyu, Zi Xian Lu, Qiuyue Lu, and Yao Qiufei sat beside him on both the right and left sides.
Cu Yuner and Cu Long sat on the left.
Mo Yulu sat on the right.
The Main Hall became quiet.
Everyone looked toward Yang Lin.
Yang Lin calmly began explaining his journey.
He talked about Chen Ti Village.
He talked about the peaceful village.
He talked about Grandpa Lu.
He talked about watching the sunrise and sunset.
He talked about walking through the forest.
He talked about seeing the enormous Immortal waterfall.
He talked about the green dragon that climbed back up the waterfall after seeing him.
He talked about traveling to the Dao Kingdom with Chaoran Zhi Quan.
He explained the special carriage.
He explained how they traveled twenty light-years.
He described the beautiful Dao Kingdom.
He talked about the mortal streets and the cultivators living among them.
He talked about the pavilion where they stayed.
He described the peaceful night.
Then—
he talked about returning to Chen Ti Village.
He told everyone about the peaceful days that followed.
Finally—
he mentioned Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Yang Lin calmly said,
"She was very beautiful."
Everyone quietly listened.
Yang Lin continued explaining everything that had happened during his year in Chen Ti Village.
The Main Hall remained peaceful.
Everyone listened to Yang Lin's story.
And after a long journey—
Yang Lin had finally returned to the Heaven Cutter Sect.
