After a final, lingering appreciation of this ancient underwater city, the homeland of Xiao Meng.
Ye Yun then turned back with Xiao Meng.
The method of leaving here was also quite simple, requiring only continuous ascent until they broke through the seawater above.
As the two emerged from the deep sea and returned to the surface of the Endless Sea, the surroundings had resumed their familiar appearance.
The so-called divine blessing of the Sea God, the blue celestial glow, had gradually faded away.
In fact, this so-called Sea God's blessing was merely the ancient underwater city's annual practice of connecting with the outside world and absorbing external Xuan Qi.
At the same time, it was also the sole occasion each year for mutual ingress and egress.
Ye Yun glanced towards the distant, brightly lit Moon Island, then turned to Xiao Meng beside him and smiled.
"Shall we head back then?"
"Mm..."
Xiao Meng responded, showing no excessive attachment to this place.
After a few glances, she held Ye Yun's arm and left with him.
This display of intimacy seemed to be a manifestation of her inner insecurity.
Despite the fact that in this world, perhaps no one could defeat her...
Not long after, Ye Yun returned with Xiao Meng to the beach where Lin Xueyan and the others were.
"Master, you're finally back!"
As soon as they returned, Lin Xueyan and the others flocked over, their faces etched with concern, as if they feared something had happened to him.
Lin Xueyan looked at him and asked, "Master, what were you doing just now?"
Ye Yun's sudden departure with Xiao Meng had made them extremely worried that something serious had occurred.
In response, Ye Yun glanced at Xiao Meng, then smiled and said.
"Nothing much, Xiao Meng just wanted to see the Sea God's blessing up close, so I took her."
He did not reveal anything about the underwater city or the Sea Goddess to Lin Xueyan and the others.
Since there was no information about the Divine Era, it was unlikely to benefit them even if they were told.
It was better to let them live in blissful ignorance for now...
At this moment, Fang Zhiwei looked at Xiao Meng, who was holding his arm.
"Wait, Master, you and Xiao Meng are..."
The others also reacted, having been too worried about their Master earlier.
They had almost failed to notice that their Master had returned holding Xiao Meng's hand.
Hearing this, Ye Yun said with a faint smile.
"Ah, let me introduce you all, from this day forward, Xiao Meng is your seventh junior sister!"
This statement caused quite a stir among the group.
Instantly, all eyes were focused on Xiao Meng, filled with astonishment.
Lin Xueyan opened her mouth, a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Master, does this mean you succeeded?"
They knew about the requirement to leave, but they also understood that there seemed to be no progress between their Master and Xiao Meng for a while.
How could it have suddenly succeeded after this outing?
Xu Ning asked with disbelief.
"I say, Senior Ye, how did you manage that?!"
She was the most aware of how difficult Xiao Meng was to handle.
Had this Senior Ye actually accomplished it?
To this, Ye Yun could only shrug and smile, offering an explanation.
"Perhaps... she was moved by my sincerity?"
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Meng beside him and asked.
"Wasn't that it, Xiao Meng?"
"Mm..."
Though Xiao Meng was not eloquent, she was surprisingly intelligent.
She immediately followed her Master's words and continued, not contradicting him.
Upon hearing this, the women exchanged glances, and then Chen Lingyi was the first to laugh.
"Wonderful! With this, we are one step closer to leaving this place!"
Following this, Lin Xueyan and the others also chimed in.
They all showed an unusual fondness for their new junior sister.
Besides becoming familiar with her during this time, they also felt that she wouldn't compete with them for their Master's attention.
Thus, Xiao Meng naturally garnered the affection of all her senior sisters, and furthermore, she was inherently adorable!
Seeing this, Ye Yun raised his cup with a smile and said.
"In any case, today is a good day, let's all celebrate together!"
"Hooray, let's toast together!"
Fang Zhiwei also happily stood up and raised her wine glass again.
However, this time, her glass contained not wine, but a beverage.
Ever since she had sobered up earlier, she had sworn never to touch alcohol again, lest she never be able to pursue her Master in this lifetime!
Everyone clinked their glasses together happily, their spirits completely relaxed.
Especially Ye Yun, who was now immensely gratified.
He had initially been somewhat worried about potential trouble with the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall after leaving.
But now that he had accepted Xiao Meng as a disciple, especially after her unsealing, Ye Yun felt he had nothing to fear.
She was a true God-level being!
With proper guidance, she was absolutely capable of sweeping through the entire Heavenly Domain!
Even the Supremely Emperor-tier Imaginary Beasts he had faced before might be easily dealt with!
Therefore, Ye Yun led the revelry that very night.
"Disciples, come, come, let's toast!"
The group on the beach clinked glasses, enjoying the sea breeze and the delicious barbecue.
This Sea God Festival was undoubtedly the happiest time Ye Yun had experienced since his transmigration, aside from his time with Xing Wu!
However, joyous moments were always fleeting, and after the Sea God Festival, Ye Yun's life on the island returned to its quiet routine.
His daily tasks now consisted of fully comprehending the power of the Heavenly Principles, and occasionally teaching Xiao Meng how to manipulate Xuan Qi and use certain skills.
Initially, despite possessing God-level cultivation, Xiao Meng was like an infant with immense power but no ability to use it.
As a result, Ye Yun had to teach her from scratch how to fight.
Eventually, through his meticulous guidance and the trials within the Trial Tower in the master-disciple space, Xiao Meng's combat abilities improved rapidly.
For instance, at present, Ye Yun, taking advantage of his leisure time, intended to assess Xiao Meng's progress.
"Xiao Meng, unleash your Immortal Divine Art towards the front!"
Xiao Meng's Immortal Divine Art was named the Sea God's Spear, a complete offensive technique and her primary means of attack at the moment.
The power of this move largely represented her own strength.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Meng nodded, then solemnly raised her small hands.
"Sea God's Spear!"
Her soft voice echoed across the Endless Sea.
Instantly, the turbulent waters and endless blue streams of light converged above Xiao Meng.
After several breaths, a spear approximately a hundred meters long, emitting a chilling aura and entwined with seawater, materialized above her head.
Then, Xiao Meng swung her arm, and the hundred-meter Sea God's Spear shot out like a blue meteor.
Seconds later, a bright flash appeared at the edge of vision, forming a blue mushroom cloud tens of thousands of feet high, a thousand miles away.
The ensuing shockwave instantly scattered the clouds, creating colossal waves thousands of meters high on the sea's surface. The gust of wind even straightened Ye Yun's hair, a thousand miles away.
Even now, looking at the power, Ye Yun couldn't help but swallow.
"This is God-level; a casual move is equivalent to a hundred million-ton hydrogen bomb..."
