### Chapter 2588 — Ancient Immortal Factions
Meanwhile—
inside the main hall of the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Lu Sunyu was calmly sitting with Zi Xian Lu, Qiuyue Lu, Yao Qiufei, Mo Yulu, Cu Yuner, and Cu Long.
The atmosphere was peaceful.
However, the topic they were discussing was not peaceful.
Lu Sunyu calmly spoke.
"Recently, several Ancient Immortal factions have started fighting one another."
Qiuyue Lu calmly looked at him.
"For Secret Realm treasures?"
Lu Sunyu nodded.
"Yes."
"Several Secret Realms appeared throughout the Central Domain."
"Many Ancient Immortal families, sects, pavilions, and other forces entered them."
"Some treasures are extremely valuable."
"Because of that, they began fighting."
Yao Qiufei calmly asked,
"How serious is it?"
Lu Sunyu smiled faintly.
"Very serious."
"Several Ancient Immortal factions have already lost many cultivators."
Mo Yulu calmly listened.
"Greed."
Lu Sunyu nodded.
"Exactly."
Cu Yuner quietly looked outside the main hall.
"Will they come here?"
Lu Sunyu shook his head.
"They should know better."
Cu Long calmly laughed.
"They should."
After all—
the Heaven Cutter Sect had already established itself in the Central Domain.
Its silence did not mean weakness.
It simply meant that nobody had a reason to disturb its peace.
Lu Sunyu calmly looked toward everyone.
"Still, we should remain aware of the situation."
Everyone nodded.
At that moment—
a faint pressure appeared far outside the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Several figures were approaching.
Their auras belonged to the Dao Severing Realm.
Lu Sunyu calmly looked toward the entrance.
"Someone has come."

### Chapter 2589 — A Cautious Smile
Far outside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
several Dao Severing Realm cultivators stood in the air.
They had come from an Ancient Immortal faction.
Their expressions were cautious.
However—
there was also a faint smugness in their eyes.
One of the Dao Severing Realm Early Stage cultivators looked toward the Heaven Cutter Sect.
"The Heaven Cutter Sect has remained silent for so long."
"Perhaps something happened inside."
Another cultivator frowned.
"Be careful."
"I know."
The first cultivator smiled.
"I am only taking a look."
He slowly moved forward.
His expression remained cautious.
Yet there was a trace of arrogance on his face.
He believed that the Heaven Cutter Sect might be facing some internal trouble.
Otherwise—
why would such a powerful sect remain so quiet?
The cultivator took another step.
Then—
he smiled.
"Perhaps we should—"
He did not finish his sentence.
A gaze descended.
Mo Xian calmly looked toward him from inside the Heaven Cutter Sect.
There was no killing intent.
No technique.
No movement.
Only a gaze.
The Dao Severing Realm Early Stage cultivator's expression instantly changed.
His pupils contracted.
"What—"
His body disappeared.
Not exploded.
Not shattered.
Not burned.
It simply turned into Nothingness.
The surrounding space became completely silent.
The other Dao Severing Realm cultivators froze.
Their expressions changed drastically.
One of them swallowed nervously.
"Impossible..."
Mo Xian calmly withdrew his gaze.
Nothing else happened.
The Heaven Cutter Sect remained peaceful.
---
### Chapter 2590 — Run
The remaining cultivators finally reacted.
"Run!"
Several figures immediately turned around.
They fled at their fastest speed.
Their previous cautious smiles had completely disappeared.
Their faces were pale.
Fear filled their eyes.
One Dao Severing Realm cultivator looked backward.
He could not see Mo Xian.
He could not sense Mo Xian.
Yet that made him even more afraid.
A single gaze—
and a Dao Severing Realm Early Stage cultivator had become Nothingness.
The cultivators fled farther and farther away from the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Some Immortal Emperors who had been nearby witnessed everything.
Their expressions became extremely serious.
One Immortal Emperor immediately turned around.
"We are leaving."
Another Immortal Emperor nodded rapidly.
"Do not stay here."
A Dao Severing Realm cultivator hurried past them.
"Move!"
Nobody questioned him.
Nobody laughed.
Nobody dared to remain close to the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Soon—
the surrounding area became empty.
The Ancient Immortal cultivators who had previously been watching the situation also began retreating.
They finally understood something.
The silence of the Heaven Cutter Sect was not because of trouble.
It was simply because—
the Heaven Cutter Sect had no interest in them.
---
### Chapter 2591 — Do Not Provoke
Not long afterward—
the escaping cultivators returned to their respective Ancient Immortal forces.
Inside one Ancient Immortal family's main hall—
a Dao Severing Realm cultivator stood before the elders.
His face was still pale.
"Ancestor."
The old man sitting above calmly opened his eyes.
"What happened?"
The Dao Severing Realm cultivator immediately explained everything.
"The Heaven Cutter Sect..."
"The moment the other Dao Severing Realm cultivator stepped closer, That woman who looked at him."
"The other who became Nothingness."
The hall became completely silent.
Several Ancient Immortal elders looked at one another.
One elder slowly spoke.
"That woman?"
"Yes."
The elder's expression became serious.
Another Dao Severing Realm cultivator hurriedly said,
"Ancestor, we should never provoke the Heaven Cutter Sect."
The Ancient Immortal ancestor remained silent for several breaths.
Then he calmly spoke.
"From today onward—"
"No one from our family is allowed to provoke the Heaven Cutter Sect."
Everyone immediately nodded.
"Yes, Ancestor."
The same scene occurred inside several other Ancient Immortal forces.
The fleeing cultivators reported what they had seen.
Their respective ancestors listened carefully.
Their final orders were almost identical.
"Do not provoke the Heaven Cutter Sect."
"Unless you want to disappear."
One Ancient Immortal ancestor calmly added,
"If they do not involve us, then we will not involve them."
"Maintain our distance."
"Do not offend them."
The elders nodded.
They understood.
The Heaven Cutter Sect had once again shown its strength without making a single public declaration.
---
### Chapter 2592 — Peace
Back inside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
everything quickly returned to normal.
The disciples continued cultivating.
The elders continued managing the sect.
The various pavilions remained peaceful.
Nobody cared about the cultivators who had fled.
Inside the main hall—
Lu Sunyu calmly looked toward Zi Xian Lu.
"It seems the matter has already been resolved."
Qiuyue Lu smiled faintly.
"That's normal."
Yao Qiufei calmly looked outside.
"The Ancient Immortal factions should understand now."
Cu Yuner quietly smiled.
"It is better this way."
Cu Long laughed softly.
"Peace is always better."
Lu Sunyu nodded.
"Indeed."
The conversation continued.
Outside—
the Heaven Cutter Sect remained completely peaceful.
No one dared to disturb it.

### Chapter 2593 — Yang Lin
Inside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
in Yang Lin's cultivation chamber—
Yang Lin calmly sat cross-legged.
Transcendence Qi slowly entered his body.
His surroundings were completely silent.
His breathing was steady.
His expression was peaceful.
He continued cultivating.
The events outside had nothing to do with him.
He did not care the cultivator who had turned into Nothingness.
Even if he did—
he probably would not even bother.
Yang Lin calmly continued cultivating.
Time slowly passed.
His thoughts became quiet.
Yet somewhere deep within his mind—
a figure appeared.
Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Yang Lin's expression remained calm.
He remembered the peaceful days in Chen Ti Village.
The small courtyard.
The round table.
The food they had shared.
The long walks.
The waterfalls.
The blue sky.
The night sky.
Everything remained quietly inside his memories.
Then—
a faint melody seemed to appear in his heart.
---
### Chapter 2594 — A Love Story Not Yet Touched
The melody was gentle.
It carried no sadness.
It simply told a story.
A story between two people—
who had already met,
but whose love had not yet truly begun.
Yang Lin quietly listened to the song within his heart.
The lyrics slowly formed.
**"Beneath the Same Sky"**
Two paths beneath the endless sky,
Two distant hearts that never say goodbye,
A quiet smile, a passing glance,
A meeting written into circumstance.
You stood where the morning sunlight fell,
I heard your voice, but knew no spell,
No promises, no words to bind,
Just a gentle feeling left behind.
If the stars remember every name,
Perhaps they'll remember us the same,
Two lonely souls beneath the blue,
Walking through a world that led me to you.
I never reached to hold your hand,
I never asked you to understand,
I only watched the seasons go,
Wondering what your heart might know.
If someday our paths should meet again,
Beyond the mountains, beyond the rain,
Would you still look at me that way?
Would you still have something left to say?
There is a story not yet told,
A quiet flame that does not grow cold,
No vows have formed, no dreams begun,
Yet somehow I still think you're the one.
Perhaps love does not need to start,
With words that rush into the heart,
Perhaps it waits beneath the years,
Growing quietly without our fears.
If you stand beneath the evening light,
And look toward the stars at night,
Remember there may be someone too,
Looking at the same sky as you.
I will walk through countless roads,
Carry quietly my endless hopes,
And if fate brings us close someday,
I will not let that moment fade away.
No touch has passed between our hands,
No promise made, no wedding plans,
Only two hearts that have not known,
How close they are when left alone.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe years from now,
Maybe beneath another sky somehow,
I'll hear your voice and finally see,
The love that waited patiently.
Until that day, I'll simply stay,
Walking quietly along my way,
Because some stories need more time,
Before two distant hearts become one rhyme.
And if the stars above us shine,
I'll believe that someday you'll be mine,
Not through force, and not through fate,
But through two hearts that choose to wait.

### Chapter 2595 — The Quiet Melody
The song slowly disappeared.
Yang Lin remained seated.
His eyes were closed.
The cultivation chamber was silent again.
He calmly breathed.
For a moment—
he thought about Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Then—
he smiled faintly.
"Interesting."
He did not know why that melody had appeared.
Perhaps it was simply a memory.
Perhaps it was simply a thought.
Or perhaps—
some feelings did not need a reason.
Yang Lin slowly opened his eyes.
He looked toward the empty space before him.
"Chaoran Zhi Quan."
He quietly said her name.
After a moment—
he closed his eyes again.
"Let's meet when we meet."
He did not rush.
He did not worry.
He simply continued cultivating.
Transcendence Qi once again surrounded his body.
The peaceful rhythm returned.
---
### Chapter 2596 — Waiting
Far away—
in the Northern Domain—
Chaoran Zhi Quan stood beneath the blue sky.
She quietly looked upward.
The morning sunlight illuminated her face.
She did not know why—
but her heart suddenly became peaceful.
She gently closed her eyes.
A faint breeze passed through her hair.
"Yang Lin..."
She quietly whispered his name.
She did not know where he was.
She did not know what he was doing.
She did not know when they would meet again.
Yet—
she continued waiting.
Not because anyone had asked her to.
Not because she had made a promise.
Simply because—
some people could remain in the heart without needing to be near.
Chaoran Zhi Quan slowly opened her eyes.
The blue sky stretched endlessly above her.
She smiled faintly.
"I'll wait."
Far away—
inside the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Yang Lin continued cultivating.
Neither of them knew—
that beneath the same endless sky,
their thoughts had quietly met once again.
