Chapter 181 "The Immortal Gate's Invitation, the Road to Choice"
The sun shines through the mottled leaves and shines on the quaint courtyard where Yun Yao stands. She is dressed in a light and elegant dress, and the breeze blows through her, making her look like a fairy in a painting. At this moment, she has become a legendary figure in the secular world. Whenever the people she has helped mention her name, their eyes are filled with respect and gratitude. Whether it is the farmers working in the fields or the vendors on the streets, they are all talking about this woman with magical powers.
Yun Yao used modern knowledge to improve the irrigation system, which brought new life to the dry land and greatly increased grain production. She also cleverly used her cultivation strength to disperse the monsters that often invaded the border villages, allowing the people to live and work in peace. Her every move was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the secular world, and these ripples eventually gathered into a powerful wave and spread into the mysterious and vast realm of the cultivation world.
On this day, the sky was as blue as a gem, with white clouds floating in the sky. An elder from a cultivation sect, dressed in a gorgeous Taoist robe, came gracefully. The Taoist robe was embroidered with mysterious runes, and as he moved, the runes seemed to come alive, flickering with a faint light. His face was as deep as a knife, and his eyes were full of wisdom and insight, and every glance seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. His appearance was like a bright meteor across the sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The elder slowly walked towards Yun Yao, each step carrying an otherworldly aura. He stopped in front of Yun Yao, and took a quick look at the young woman in front of him, with a hint of imperceptible admiration in his eyes. His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying a kind of magic, and he said: "Girl, I am Xuan Feng, the elder of Xuan Qing Sect. I have heard of your deeds. Your potential is like a treasure buried deep underground. Once discovered, it will shine brightly. On behalf of Xuan Qing Sect, I sincerely invite you to join us."
Yun Yao frowned slightly, and her heart was in turmoil. She knew that this was a rare opportunity, an opportunity that might allow her to go further on the road of cultivation. However, she also knew that once she stepped into a cultivation sect, it would be a completely unfamiliar world, full of more unknowns and challenges. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, like surging tides, one after another.
She recalled the difficult situation she faced in the palace when she first traveled to this world. It was a place full of indifference and bullying. The cold words and malicious difficulties of the servants were like a cold wind, piercing her bones and heart. She started as a neglected princess, and gradually gained a foothold step by step with her own wisdom and the help of the system. In the process, she experienced countless crises, and each time she seemed to be wandering on the edge of the dark abyss.
She still remembers the fear and curiosity she felt about the unknown power when she first tried to practice. The emergence of the system was like a beacon in the darkness, guiding her in the right direction. But the road to practice was not smooth sailing. Every time she broke through a bottleneck, it was like struggling through thorns. If she was not careful, she would be stabbed. However, she never gave up, and with her tenacious perseverance, she came to where she is today.
And now, this invitation in front of her is like a door to a new world. Behind the door may be endless treasures, or it may be a more fierce storm. She fell into deep thought, with hesitation and struggle in her eyes. The air around her seemed to be frozen, and only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves seemed to whisper about her choice.
The elder saw Yun Yao's hesitation, he smiled and said, "Girl, I know you have some concerns. But Xuanqing Sect is a famous sect in the cultivation world, with rich resources, countless secret manuals and magic weapons waiting for those who are destined to learn. There, you can get in touch with more advanced cultivation methods and exchange ideas with like-minded disciples. Your potential will be maximized in Xuanqing Sect."
Yun Yao bit her lip slightly, her eyes passed the elders and looked at the mountains in the distance. The mountains were rolling, just like her thoughts, with no end. She began to weigh the pros and cons in her mind. If she refused, her development in the secular country might be restricted, after all, the cultivation resources here were limited. Moreover, she was full of desire for a higher level of cultivation, and this desire was like a flame burning in her heart, which never went out.
But if she accepted, she would leave this familiar place, and leave the people she helped and who trusted her. Here were her memories, and every bit of her journey. Moreover, she didn't know what the interpersonal relationships in the sect would be like, and whether they would fall into intrigue again. She was afraid that she would fall into trouble again, and be isolated and helpless like she was in the palace.
However, a voice in her heart kept echoing: "You came here to pursue strength, you can't give up because of fear." This voice became stronger and stronger, gradually overwhelmed her hesitation and worry. She took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision, and her eyes became firm.
She looked at the elder, bowed slightly, and said, "Elder, I am willing to accept your invitation." A gratified smile appeared in the elder's eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay, the girl is really courageous. You pack up, I will pick you up in three days." After that, the elder turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
During these three days, Yun Yao said goodbye everywhere. She came to the fields and looked at the crops growing vigorously, her heart full of emotion. The farmers gathered around her with reluctance in their eyes. They held Yun Yao's hands and said words of gratitude and blessing. Yun Yao responded with a smile, and she told the farmers to make good use of the new irrigation system to make life better and better.
She came to the border village again. The villagers who had been invaded by monsters saw her with awe and admiration in their eyes. The children surrounded her, laughing and making noises. Yun Yao squatted down, stroked the children's heads, and told them to pay attention to safety. The villagers prepared a grand farewell banquet for her. Everyone sang and danced to celebrate her new journey.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. The morning sun shone on the earth. Yun Yao, wearing a simple and exquisite training outfit, stood at the city gate. She looked back at this familiar city with tears in her eyes. Every inch of land and every person here have become an indispensable part of her life. But she knew that she had to move forward.
The elder appeared on time. He looked at Yun Yao, nodded, and said, "Let's go. Your future is in Xuanqingmen." Yun Yao took a deep breath, turned around and followed the elder. They turned into two rays of light and flew towards Xuanqingmen. During the flight, Yun Yao looked down at the mountains and rivers below, her heart full of expectations and uneasiness about the future. She didn't know what was waiting for her, but she was ready to meet the challenge.
