Since I can come here, naturally, I can go back.

'I just don't know, how long it will be until then, and by that time, will I... still remember the memories of my past life?'

Chen Zhixing couldn't be sure, because at this moment, he had already forgotten many memories, even the plots he remembered clearly upon initially traversing here, some unimportant parts had already begun to blur.

And this has only been twenty-three years.

...

Lii Shuang and Snow Soul both have high cultivation talent.

To be precise, the eight Snow Demons who followed Chen Zhixing into the world are all prodigies of the Snow Demon Race of this generation.

With sufficient pills, most of them have the opportunity to charge towards Peak Realm.

Just half a month after Chen Zhixing had a conversation with Lii Shuang, news of Snow Soul's seclusion came from the other side. According to Snow Soul's words before entering seclusion, at the latest, in five years he would face the Supreme Celestial Tribulation. At that time, whether he would live or die was uncertain, so he told everyone to consider him dead beforehand.

A very resolute statement, which made it clear that Snow Soul wasn't utterly confident about mirror-breaking and reaching the peak.

But his path has reached this point; without breaking through to the peak, there is no way forward, so he must do it.

Compared to Snow Soul, Lii Shuang is rather patient, thinking he still has room to continue polishing his skills, planning to attempt a breakthrough in two years.

Actually, just within this period, two additional members of the Snow Demon Race have broken through to the Ninth Layer of Nirvana, to the extent that during leisure times, Chen Chou'er would jokingly tease Lii Shuang, saying if he doesn't work harder as their leader, others would surpass him.

Lii Shuang deeply agreed.

Nowadays, Chen Zhixing's Dark Guards are considered to be a cloud of experts, including eight Snow Demons, and several others recruited and replaced over the years, amounting to eighteen people, all in the Nirvana Realm. This is enough to make some small Noble Families shiver with fear.

But even so, in a frontal battlefield, it's difficult for them to assist Chen Zhixing, who holds the Long Divine Weapon.

Unless they can break through to the absolute peak.

Absolute Peak.

The pinnacle.

The target countless people long for, no matter where you go, you are a guest of honor for Noble Families, even joining the Three Great Sacred Lands would earn you extremely high treatment.

As for some small Sects....

Ziwei Mountain Main Peak.

Longevity Hall.

Chen Zhixing looked at the intelligence regarding the alliance with Qin Yi that Chen Zhaosheng handed over, and a slight strange expression floated on his face.

"United all ninety-six large and small Sects in the Southern Domain, yet this force actually has only three people at the absolute peak, and twenty-one in Nirvana?"

"Wrong, one of the three at the absolute peak has old ties with the Celestial Saint Palace, while another peak individual is a friend of this insider, and the Nirvana Realm cultivators also need to exclude Qin Yi and another male disciple from the Celestial Saint Palace." Chen Zhaosheng smiled and said.

Immediately, the two brothers exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

Recruiting experts isn't that easy!

Even Qin Yi has the title of the Celestial Saint Palace, but she is not the current Saintess, so cultivators at the Nirvana and Peak Realm truly wouldn't want to give her face.

"So, there's only one person at the peak, let me see who that unlucky fellow is, who ended up on Qin Yi's broken ship."

"Nun Pufa from Guang'an Temple, an old senior of seventeen hundred years, appears to be at the Third Layer of the Peak Realm according to intelligence, belonging to those with no path ahead."

"Seventeen hundred years....."

Chen Zhixing looked at Nun Pufa's appearance reflected on the jade mirror, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The image showed Nun Pufa looking just over thirty, hardly resembles a nun since she still wears long hair and common female clothing; the only connection to being a nun might be the string of prayer beads she held in her hand.

As if sensing Chen Zhixing's thoughts, Chen Zhaosheng shook his head and laughed:

"Nun Pufa has three major hobbies in life: fancy clothes, meat and wine, and handsome men."

"Can this even be called a nun?"

"She is at the peak, if she says she is, then she is. However, Nun Pufa is very strict with her disciples and grandchildren, and has even issued a Buddha post saying: 'If you follow my path, it's akin to entering Demon Tao', kind of self-aware."

"....This statement has already been worn out, hasn't it? Venerable Wanshang from Shituo Temple, Master Huiqing from Prajna Temple, the four Void Dharma Vajras from Little Sumeru Temple...."

"Pretty much, anyway, as long as your fists are big enough to make people overlook the vows you've broken, and you don't intend for others to follow your example, then practically no one wants to provoke them."

"Since that's the case, why don't these people return to secular life?"

"Return to secular life? With what reason?" Chen Zhaosheng widened his eyes upon hearing this: "They have endured from a little novice monk in the temple for hundreds to thousands of years, finally reaching their current status, able to enjoy the treatment and resources of a bigshot, and just because of our words, they're supposed to give it up?"

"Uh...."

"Be aware, some large temples that have been passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years even produced beings of Arhat and Bodhisattva realms, with Longevity Realm depth, and their resources are not lacking compared to us Longevity Families. Zhixing, if you were them, would you abandon it?"

"Alright, I guess I'd be the same."

Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes and continued to read about Nun Pufa's life.

What to say.

This Nun Pufa is the most typical ordinary genius.

She practiced for eight hundred years to reach the Peak Realm, and the following nine hundred years were spent merely advancing three steps in the Peak Realm, barring unforeseen incidents, she would likely sit and await her end within a hundred or two hundred years.

She is talented, but not talented enough.

Possesses some perseverance, but not too much.

Guang'an Temple is a grand monastery with a six thousand year heritage, it has Longevity Realm legacy within its walls. If she had dedicated her life to the lamp and Buddha, she might have reached a realm like Chen Family Ancestor Chen Tianyuan. Even if the resources are lacking somewhat, reaching the sixth or seventh layer of Peak Realm could be possible.

But this Divine Nun....

She has been married sixteen times in her life, bore three daughters and one son, all were conceived while in the Nirvana Realm.

And she achieved the Nirvana Realm before turning two hundred.

As recorded on the jade mirror, she favored men, wine, meat, and fancy clothes, marrying a handsome mortal man once every hundred years, and leaving when the man's appearance aged, grandly calling it "refining the heart through worldly passions."

This process lasted roughly thirty to forty years, and in the remaining sixty to seventy years, she wandered the five territories of East State while practicing on the road.

With such a disposition, being stuck at the Third Layer of the Peak Realm is very normal.

And the reason she accepted Qin Yi's invitation to join the alliance was mainly because she felt that her lifespan was nearing its end and she needed to prepare for her future generations.

Indeed.

It's unknown where this nun heard a rumor suggesting that the Three Great Sacred Lands hold a Reincarnation Technique, stating that the Holy Land Disciples upon reincarnation, in their next life, are sought out by Holy Land Sect members and ushered again into the sect to cultivate the Great Tao once more!

After hearing this, the Divine Nun was tempted and chose to seek out Qin Yao!

As for why not directly go to the Three Great Sacred Lands?

She did.

Visited all three.

As a result, Immortal Ascension Sect offered to teach her Immortal Ascension Technique, but she needed to now bury herself at the Immortal Ascension Peak, which she refused.

Daluo Taoist Lands didn't even respond to her.

As for the Celestial Saint Palace, well, it was Celestial Saint Palace which asked her to go to Immortal Ascension Sect!

After reading the description on the jade mirror, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but shake his head.

"What kind of fantasy is this old nun indulging in, let alone the so-called Six Paths of Reincarnation, even if truly existent, someone like her who sold her skills wouldn't get to enjoy it, not to mention that judging by her deeds this lifetime, which Sacred Land would be interested in her."

"Who's saying otherwise, but Qin Yi has already made her an offer."

Chen Zhaosheng said with a grin: "Our Grand Alliance Leader Qin has stated clearly, as long as someone makes great contributions within the realm during this time, they will definitely be guaranteed a position as a True Disciple of Celestial Saint Palace, even if due to circumstances they can't enter in this life, they can seek out their reincarnated self later, promising another entry into Holy Land Sect in the next life."

Chen Zhixing: "..."

"Is Qin Yao out of her mind?! How can she utter such words carelessly?"

"There's no choice. Our Southern Domain has only seven large families left, and small and medium families all look up to us as leaders. Since you, the former Patriarch of the Ziwei Chen Family first declared not to interfere with the alliance matters, other families, small and large, more or less need to give you Chen Zhixing some face, right?"
