Chapter 1 'Long Time No See'

Outside the Ministry of Justice, Ye Chuxiao 'after a long time' saw Ye Chuyu again.

Only, the 'familiarity' in his memories, when recalled now, was covered with a layer of gauze, becoming hazy and unreal.

Of course, because of the strangeness of Ye Chuxiao's own identity, he didn't have negative emotions such as disgust, avoidance, or resistance.

As far as he was concerned, Ye Chuyu couldn't really be considered his sister.

"Big brother!" The girl standing in the sunlight waved playfully at Ye Chuxiao, dressed in a lake-green maiden's dress, with two braids tied with white ribbons. Tilting her head to look at Ye Chuxiao, her cute appearance was enough to melt a gloomy mood.

Ye Chuxiao nodded and then said, "Big brother took half a day off to treat you to a good meal at Shunde Restaurant."

The new squad leader in the third-floor B area was a nice old man with a good temper, so it was easy for Ye Chuxiao to take leave.

Leading Ye Chuyu onto a public carriage, they arrived at Shunde Restaurant in Pingliang Ward after about an incense stick's time.

Shunde Restaurant was one of the most famous restaurants in Pingliang Ward, and its most famous dish was 'Drunken Eight Treasures'. The aroma alone made people drool.

Ye Chuxiao ordered five dishes and a soup, three meat and two vegetarian, and also ordered a pot of warm wine.

"This table must cost nearly ten taels of silver! Big brother, how are we going to live in the future?" Ye Chuyu said, picking up a piece of drunken duck leg and putting it in her bowl.

Ye Chuxiao picked up a glass of wine, swallowed it, and then said, "I'm afraid you don't need the household expenses I give you! Seeing how steadily you're playing the part of my little sister, without making any noise, it seems you don't lack destiny and are just staying in this world to cultivate. In that case, your identity in your original world must be extraordinary."

Ye Chuyu smiled and said, "Big brother has a good eye. The world I'm in is called 'Azure Blue'. My identity in the Azure Blue world is that of a direct daughter of a sect leader."

Ye Chuxiao nodded, without any emotional fluctuations.

He neither understood the world called Azure Blue, nor did he know the scale and strength of the sect to which Ye Chuyu belonged.

Even if Ye Chuyu was originally the daughter of a sect leader, it was just an identity to him.

"Knowing that big brother has many questions, if it's something I can say, considering this table of food, little sister will definitely tell you everything I know," Ye Chuyu said with a smile, actively releasing goodwill.

The Heavenly Dao rules of Daheng were very helpful to Ye Chuyu.

They could effectively help her balance the defects caused by cultivation in the Azure Blue world, so it was necessary for Ye Chuyu to maintain the stability of her identity in Daheng.

Unless necessary, she didn't want to break the current peace.

That was why she took the initiative to show her goodwill to Ye Chuxiao and reduce her own 'threat', still positioning her identity as Ye Chuxiao's 'sister'.

"Okay, then I'll ask directly."

"I want to know, are two worlds with opposing rules not enough to offset the defects of cultivation?" Ye Chuxiao directly raised the question he cared about most.

Hearing this, Ye Chuyu put away her playful look and nodded solemnly, "That's right! There is never an absolute offset, only mutual restraint."

"Like my native Azure Blue world, every cultivator will be infatuated with something. The higher the cultivation level, the deeper the infatuation. Once someone knows what the object of infatuation is, it's easy to be exploited and schemed against. Therefore, every cultivator needs to hide their likes and infatuations, but the feeling of liking will burst out involuntarily, making it extremely difficult to hide."

"Cultivating in Daheng will give me more indifference, restraining my likes, but this is only in the early stages. Once my cultivation level gradually increases, the complementarity of these two emotions will not be enough. They are essentially still defects. Even if a part is complemented, the gap is still there. If I continue, without changing, I will gradually become focused only on the object of my infatuation, while being more indifferent to other things, even to the point of ignoring my own life."

"At that time, all the shortcomings will be revealed."

"To continue cultivating and maintain balance, I need to enter other worlds to find other forces that can balance the defects."

Hearing this, Ye Chuxiao understood more about the content of the conversation between Tang Sudong and Yan Po on the fifth floor of the dungeon.

For experts like Tang Sudong who had already broken into the Wuding realm (Immovable Realm), the defects they carried and the confrontation between rules must be extremely astonishing.

It was like walking a tightrope. The consequences of a slight carelessness were even more severe than what the phrase 'shattered to pieces' could describe.

In contrast, it seemed 'safer' to focus on cultivating in one world.

Even if there were defects, the risk was not so high.

The thought only flashed for a moment before Ye Chuxiao denied it.

Gathering many worlds and many defects into one was of course like walking a tightrope.

But as long as it could be maintained, then one was always holding onto one's true self and not getting lost.

Like Tang Sudong and Yan Po, they were still holding onto themselves.

And if Daheng cultivators cultivated solely in this world, without absorbing the rules and defects of other worlds, then at a high level they would become a cold and ruthless stone, extremely indifferent to anyone and anything.

What was the point of cultivating for many years and becoming an emotionless stone?

"How exactly is Dao rhyme produced?" Ye Chuxiao asked Ye Chuyu again.

Ye Chuyu had already eaten two drunken crabs at this time, and her small face was beaming with joy, "I don't know the specifics, but I just heard the elders say that it's because Dao Ancestor (Dao Founder) was lecturing, so Dao rhyme was born in the various realms."

Ye Chuyu's explanation was the same as what the white mask had said.

"What about the Creation Boat? Is it also because of Dao Ancestor?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

"That's not it! That's because of Yu Shen (Feather God) Sect Leader. The Creation Boat was established by Yu Shen Sect Leader," Ye Chuyu said.

"Yu Shen Sect Leader... Original Purpose Sect?" Ye Chuxiao's expression changed slightly.

Ye Chuyu raised her head and wiped the soy sauce off her face, "Looks like you know about it?"

"Original Purpose Sect... it's not just in Daheng?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

Ye Chuyu said, "Of course it's not just Daheng. The Original Purpose Sect is one of the few true great sects that are spread throughout the heavens. There are no more than ten such great sects in the entire world of the heavens."

"But don't be afraid of them. The Original Purpose Sect has actually been in a state of collapse since it lost the real Yu Shen Grand Canon many years ago. There is actually no necessary connection between Yu Shen Sect Leader and the Original Purpose Sect. There is a lot of evidence indicating that the Original Purpose Sect was actually established by the first batch of cultivators who took the Creation Boat and traveled the heavens. They worshiped Yu Shen Sect Leader, but Yu Shen Sect Leader may not have responded to them."

Ye Chuxiao could understand this statement very well.

Just like the church that believes in God may not really belong to God.
