273: It's time to say goodbye!

Inside the main hall of the Tian Xing Sect, sandalwood incense wafted.

Lu Ming and True Person Tianxing sat opposite each other, sipping tea, the fragrant aroma lingering between them.

"Fellow Daoist Tianxing, weren't you quite interested in the outer domains before?"

Lu Ming took a light sip of spirit tea, then pushed a Jade Slip across to the other party. "Here, this is the memory extracted from Mu Han's Divine Sense. It records a route leading to the Profound Spirit Domain."

"However, this information is from many years ago. I don't know what the situation is like now."

He was about to leave the Southern Wilderness Region, and leaving this map to True Person Tianxing would do no harm.

"Profound Spirit Domain... Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!"

A glint flashed in True Person Tianxing's eyes. After a solemn thank you, he eagerly picked up the Jade Slip and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

In an instant, a massive amount of information surged into his Sea of Consciousness like a tide.

"Seven Grotto-Heavens, Thirty-Six Blessed Lands, Nascent Soul True Monarchs..."

His expression was shaken, and the hand holding the Jade Slip trembled slightly. He remained lost in thought for a long time.

After a long while, True Person Tianxing finally let out a long breath, his eyes filled with both shock and a complex, hard-to-decipher emotion.

"I never expected the outside world to be so vast and boundless... Compared to it, we truly are like frogs at the bottom of a well."

With a sigh, True Person Tianxing's eyes held a hint of reminiscence.

Ever since his Breakthrough to Golden Core, he knew that the Southern Wilderness Region was the end of his cultivation path.

Back then, he had considered leaving, but the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking the path of all Southern Wilderness Cultivators.

Especially when he had just broken through to Golden Core, his ambition was sky-high.

He hadn't thought of establishing a Heavenly Star Immortal City at all; instead, he wanted to make a name for himself on the Immortal Dao.

However, reality gave him a harsh slap. Not long after he entered the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he was crushed and driven out by a Late Stage Third Rank Great Demon King.

If he hadn't run fast, he would probably have become the shortest-lived Golden Core Cultivator in the history of the Southern Wilderness Region.

He tried several more times later, but all ended in failure!

Helpless, he could only extinguish that thought and calmly stay in the Southern Wilderness Region to establish Heavenly Star Immortal City.

Now, hundreds of years have passed in a flash.

True Person Tianxing rubbed the Jade Slip in his hand and smiled bitterly, shaking his head.

"Alas, my Lifespan is less than two hundred years. I won't take the risk. I'll leave this Opportunity to future generations!"

"If someone with profound good fortune appears in the future, let them undertake this journey in my stead."

His tone was filled with the vicissitudes of an aging hero.

If this map had come a hundred years earlier, he might still have had the spirit to venture forth.

But now... he was old!

He looked up at Lu Ming and asked, "Is Brother Han leaving soon?"

"Indeed."

Lu Ming smiled and nodded, then after a slight pause, he still gave a word of advice.

"After I leave, I hope Fellow Daoist will take good care of my old acquaintances."

He didn't plan to take anyone with him on this trip.

Not to mention whether he could safely cross the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, even if he could, he didn't want to add burdens to his side.

Going to the Profound Spirit Domain alone would be much more convenient for his actions.

"Brother Han, rest assured, I will handle this matter." True Person Tianxing solemnly agreed.

He naturally knew who Lu Ming was referring to.

Although the identity of Han Feiyu left many traces in Heavenly Star Immortal City, those who truly interacted with him were few, so taking care of them wouldn't be difficult.

This could also be considered forming a good karma.

If Lu Ming achieved something in the outer domains in the future, he might remember their old friendship and return to the Southern Wilderness.

"Then I wish Fellow Daoist a smooth journey and eternal prosperity in the Immortal Dao!"

"Then I shall borrow Fellow Daoist's auspicious words!"

Lu Ming smiled, cupped his hands, and thanked him solemnly.

He then wasted no more time and stepped out of the great hall.

A white light flew out from his Dantian, expanding rapidly in the wind. It was precisely the white jade spirit boat.

Over the past five years, he had repeatedly refined this boat with the Blood Nurturing Soul Merging Artifact Sacrificial Method, and now it could change its size at will.

At this moment, fully activated, the spirit boat transformed into a giant flying boat hundreds of meters long.

The boat's body was intricately carved and painted, with pavilions and terraces all complete. Inside, on the agarwood tables, exquisite tea sets were placed, and the floor was covered with soft snow fox fur carpets, displaying extreme luxury.

Lu Ming even refined twelve Puppet servants to be at his command during the journey.

After all, he would be traveling through the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for a long time, and he didn't plan to shortchange himself.

Lu Ming's figure flickered and disappeared into the boat.

The next moment, the white jade spirit boat transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the air and vanishing into the horizon in a blink of an eye.

True Person Tianxing stood outside the hall, gazing at the direction where the flying boat had departed, remaining motionless for a long time.

The mountain wind rustled his robes, making him appear somewhat lonely.

This separation might mean a long time before they meet again, but it was even more likely... that they would never meet again!

His Lifespan seemed to have two hundred years left, but this was merely the Lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. As for that person's talent, once he entered a broader world, he would surely be like a Dragon entering the sea. Perhaps after one closed-door cultivation session for comprehension, his old bones would have already passed away... High in the sky, Lu Ming leaned on the railing, looking down at the mountains and rivers below, watching the Southern Wilderness Region grow smaller and smaller. He sighed softly in his heart.

"After residing here for many years, it's finally a farewell."

No matter how indifferent his Heart-Nature was, this Southern Wilderness Region was, after all, the starting point of his Immortal Dao.

It witnessed his transformation from a Loose Cultivator specializing in Artifact Refining to a Golden Core True Person revered by billions of living beings, carrying countless memories during this period.

Suddenly leaving, it was inevitable that a trace of melancholy would arise in his heart.

However, it only lasted for a moment, and he quickly dispelled this emotion.

He had already settled everything that needed to be settled in the Southern Wilderness Region; there was nothing left to be nostalgic about.

Collecting his thoughts, the route map from Mu Han's memory appeared in Lu Ming's mind.

Although the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was named a "mountain range," its vastness far exceeded imagination.

Back then, Mu Han and his Senior Brother fled for their lives, yet it still took them five years to Transmigrate.

For him, this journey would undoubtedly be an extremely long one.

He did not hold back his speed. The flying boat tore through the sky, leaving a long wake of Qi in the clouds, heading straight for the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At the same time, at the Cloud Thunder Pavilion, a long distance away.

Immortal Master Yun Chen stood atop the clouds, gazing at the streak of light that pierced the sky, a relieved smile finally appearing on his face.

"He finally left!"

The existence of Han Feiyu was simply too overpowered for the Southern Wilderness Region.

As long as he was there, Ancestor Yun Chen would never be at ease.

Now that he had left, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer had to deliberately suppress his Disciples.

Moreover, the situation in the Southern Wilderness Region had changed. Although Cloud Thunder Pavilion had a strong foundation, it couldn't withstand the Tian Xing Sect's surge in strength after inheriting the legacies of the Qingxuan Sect and the Ji Clan Immortal Dynasty.

Their original advantage had been nullified.

If he didn't make changes soon, the Southern Wilderness Region might be renamed "Tianxing Domain" in the future.

However, some matters still needed to be instructed to his Disciples.

Avoid the old friends of that Immortal Master Han if possible.

If it's truly unavoidable, then try to befriend them, or even find a way to bring them into the Cloud Thunder Pavilion!

After all, who knows what heights that person will reach in the future?
