The Scorpion Woman took the jade piece, glanced at Xu Chunniang, and couldn't help but clench the jade piece in her hand.
"What about the adults? Is the adults leaving?"
Xu Chunniang said tactfully, "I have some things to deal with, and you also have your own path to follow."
Even though she had already prepared herself mentally and knew that this day would come, when this moment really came, the Scorpio woman felt very reluctant.
She had known the adults for hundreds of years, and she felt lost when they suddenly separated.
But she knew that decisions made by adults would not be easily changed.
And the adults are right, it’s time for her to go her own way.
The Scorpion Woman suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said, "Now that my Lord has left, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"
Xu Chunniang sighed softly, "If we meet, it will only be one more time."
The Scorpion Woman understood something and quickly lowered her head, hiding the tears in her eyes.
"Then I wish you a smooth journey, sir."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, took out a mustard seed space that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the Scorpion Woman.
"Take it. There are some spiritual tools and spiritual crystals inside. They will be useful to you when you travel in the spiritual world in the future."
The scorpion woman quickly refused, "How can I take the adults' things?"
"I don't have any use for these things now. Just take them. They contain a formation plate that I made myself. Place the formation plate in the place where you are in seclusion, and the demonic energy will not be detected by others."
"Yes, thank you, sir."
The Scorpion Woman took the mustard seed space, and when she raised her head again, the familiar figure had disappeared.
After separating from the Scorpion Woman, Xu Chunniang took a step forward, crossed the space, and arrived at the border of the human race, Hecheng.
Xu Chunniang had served here for eight years. Looking back on those days, they seemed like things from her previous life.
She still remembered that there were constant wars in Hecheng at that time, and there were always new monks who had entered the God Transformation Stage rushing to Hecheng from all over to join the army and serve.
Because she was late, she was punished and sent to the Black Tiger Army. It was not until she made many military achievements that she was able to get the opportunity to reduce her service.
Xu Chunniang lowered her head and looked towards Hecheng below her feet.
Hundreds of years have passed, and Hecheng does not seem to have changed much. It is still in the midst of intense fighting.
But the monks in Hecheng have been coming and going, and I don’t know how many batches have been rotated.
Countless more souls died in this meaningless battle.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze, took another step forward, and arrived above the Heavenly God Academy.
At the Celestial God Academy, she once spent a rare period of peace.
It’s a pity that this period of peace was finally broken by those aristocratic families.
Xu Chunniang's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia as she stepped into the Heavenly God Academy and released her divine thoughts without reservation, covering every corner of the Heavenly God Academy.
The moment the divine thought was released, it was noticed by almost all the officials and students in the Heavenly God Academy.
"That divine thought just now was so powerful. I have only felt this kind of power from the dean!"
"Could it be that some venerable came to the Celestial God Academy?"
Just as all the academic officials and students in the academy were shocked, Hua Wei's figure appeared in the academy.
Hua Wei's mind quickly locked onto Xu Chunniang's position, but she didn't dare to approach too closely, so she clasped her fists and bowed.
"I don't know which Taoist friend has come to visit me unexpectedly. I am sorry that I failed to greet you in person. Please forgive me."
"Dean Hua Wei, how are you?"
Xu Chunniang curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile, and restrained her outward consciousness and aura.
"Who are you?"
Hua Wei sensed for a moment, and when she sensed a familiar breath, her expression became one of surprise and disbelief, and she transmitted the message carefully.
"You are... Xu Chunniang?"
Xu Chunniang raised the corner of her mouth, clasped her fists and bowed to Hua Wei, "Dean, long time no see."
Hua Yao quickly calmed down her emotions, but the look she gave Xu Chunniang was inevitably a little complicated.
However, within just a few hundred years, she had such good fortune that she leapt from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Mahayana Stage.
Although she was the one chosen by herself, Hua Ying did not expect that Xu Chunniang would really break through to the Mahayana stage one day, and in such a short time.
"You must have suffered a lot over the years."
Xu Chunniang was slightly startled, then smiled calmly, "Since it is a practice, I don't think it's hard."
"Very good, I was right about you."
Hua Wei showed satisfaction in her eyes. "You and I, plus another independent cultivator, with the strength of the three of us, we can at least occupy a place, not to mention competing with those noble families."
The human race originally had seven Mahayana masters, five of whom came from aristocratic families, while Hua Wei and the other one were both independent cultivators.
Now, Xu Chunniang has been successfully promoted to the Mahayana stage, and the power of the independent cultivators has finally gained one more person, so they will not be oppressed too harshly by those aristocratic families.
Thinking of this, Hua Wei felt more relieved. "You have just entered the Mahayana stage, so there must be many things you don't understand. If you don't mind, come sit with me for a while."
Xu Chunniang did not refuse and followed Hua Ying into Hua Yao's courtyard.
The two sat opposite each other, Hua Ying took out the teapot and made tea for Xu Chunniang herself.
"This is the tea I made myself, called Autumn Frost. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Xu Chunniang picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea tasted refreshing, with a hint of frost, and it was indeed very interesting.
"Thank you, Dean. The tea is very good."
"As long as you like it, I have a lot here and can share some with you."
Hua Wei smiled and continued, "Your aura has become stronger and you have entered the Mahayana stage. It should have been some time, right?"
Xu Chunniang put down her teacup and nodded slightly.
"Yes, if you calculate it specifically, it has been sixty years since I entered the Mahayana stage."
"You have been a Mahayana monk for sixty years?"
Hua Wei's eyes flashed with brilliance. The longer Xu Chunniang spent as a Mahayana cultivator, the less time she would have to spend on cultivation.
"Since you have already achieved the breakthrough, why did you wait until now to come back?"
"I was delayed by some things and only recently got some free time."
Hua Ying nodded and did not ask any further questions about this matter.
"Since you have already broken through to the Mahayana stage, you should know that when you reach our level, ordinary methods can no longer help you improve your cultivation, right?"
Xu Chunniang stroked the teacup in her hand, showing a look of approval.
"Yes, after reaching the Mahayana stage, one is recognized by the heaven and earth and reaches a perfect and self-consistent state. There is no increase or decrease. Continuing to practice will not increase any of your cultivation."
"In fact, if you want to continue practicing in the Mahayana stage, it is both difficult and easy."
Hua Wei did not keep the secret and took the initiative to point out, "You should know the power of faith and incense, right? Faith and incense are the key to the practice of Mahayana cultivators."
