Time flew by.
Another year passed.
Time really does fly.
Especially for martial artists who live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, time passes quickly.
A short retreat can last for years.
Even ten, twenty, or thirty years.
A blink of an eye.
As for Xu Fengqiu, his goals are very clear now.
He has no more enemies.
Or rather, he doesn't need to deal with anyone openly.
His current goal is the Immortal Palace.
And in a short period of time, the Eternal First Divine Sect has become qualified to contend with the Immortal Palace.
Xu Fengqiu spent this entire year preparing to deal with the Immortal Palace.
Creating laws and creating pills to counter the laws of time has come to an end.
This year almost drained Xu Fengqiu.
"Huff—"
Xu Fengqiu sighed.
"If I could advance to the Supreme Immortal Emperor, perhaps it would be easier."
He has prepared many pills, but he can't be sure if it's enough.
Because Xu Fengqiu can't determine how many forces will join him in fighting the Immortal Palace.
But for now, Xu Fengqiu needs to rest.
The continuous release of law power for so long has severely weakened his mental and soul power.
Although it doesn't affect his actions, if Xu Fengqiu were to engage in a major battle now, it would greatly affect him.
Some soul and mental powers could really have an effect on him.
Xu Fengqiu came out of seclusion.
He still has one thing to do.
That is to find a reason to attack the Immortal Palace.
Of course, he doesn't need this reason.
The reason he wants this reason is actually for two reasons.
First, the Immortal Palace is, after all, the largest sect in the Nine Provinces.
Its existence is a benchmark for the righteous sects of the Nine Provinces.
It is somewhat unreasonable for a sect to attack the Immortal Palace.
Second, Xu Fengqiu needs the help of other sects as much as possible, and not just rely on his Eternal First Divine Sect.
It would be too difficult to simply use the Eternal First Divine Sect and the Xu family's forces to fight.
But if he attacks the Immortal Palace for development, other sects may not be willing to help.
Attacking other sects is fine, but attacking the Immortal Palace?
It's a bit of an exaggeration.
If there is a reason, as allies, they are more likely to take action.
"Actually, there's no rush, right?"
Xu Fengqiu pondered.
There should still be a long time to prepare.
Anyway, it is his last battle in the Nine Provinces, so stability comes first.
Xu Fengqiu can even prepare for a few more years.
In these few years, the Eternal First Divine Sect can continue to grow stronger.
Xu Fengqiu came out of seclusion and arrived at his courtyard.
There was no one in the courtyard.
Xiao Li might be in secluded cultivation.
It's normal for Han Rui not to be here.
It's also normal for Xi Shengyao and Lin Qingzhu not to be here.
At this time, a figure walked over.
"Young Master Xu."
Ning Xi bowed slightly to Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu was taken aback.
Why is Ning Xi here?
After all, she is the favored daughter of destiny who triggered Xu Fengqiu's mission.
After Xu Fengqiu roughly probed her thoughts, he understood why she was here.
She is a disciple of the Tang Sect.
However, because Xu Fengqiu helped her avenge her revenge, Ning Xi very much hopes to have an opportunity to repay Xu Fengqiu.
She also came to the Eternal First Divine Sect some time ago and became a disciple of the Eternal First Divine Sect.
And she was assigned to Xu Fengqiu's side.
Xu Fengqiu is in seclusion, and in addition to cultivation, she usually helps Xu Fengqiu manage this place.
"Why is Miss Ning Xi here with me?"
Of course, Xu Fengqiu has to pretend to ask.
Ning Xi poured Xu Fengqiu a cup of tea and said, "A few days ago…"
She explained the reason.
Ning Xi continued, "If Young Master Xu feels that Ning Xi is disturbing you, I can go to another peak."
Ning Xi knows that even the current Eternal First Divine Sect still needs to develop.
She also hopes that she can help contribute.
"That's not necessary. It's good to stay here."
Ning Xi nodded slightly.
"Ding… Ning Xi's favorability towards you has reached 20, reward [Deduce Heavenly Secrets]."
In fact, Ning Xi's favorability towards Xu Fengqiu had already reached twenty.
Originally, there was actually not much interaction between Ning Xi and Xu Fengqiu.
The only interaction was when Tang Fan was still around.
There was nothing afterward.
However, after all, Xu Fengqiu helped her avenge her revenge.
Her favorability also soared by a dozen points after the revenge, reaching the current 27.
However, it is possible that Xu Fengqiu has been in seclusion, and the system has not issued Ning Xi's favorability reward, and it is only being issued now.
Deduce Heavenly Secrets?
This is a pretty good reward.
[Deduce Heavenly Secrets]: Can perform heavenly secret deductions. The level of detail of the deduction will be related to the content of the deduction. Can be deduced once every six months.
Simply put, the more heaven-defying the thing being deduced, the larger the range of the result obtained will be, and the less detailed it will be.
It's also reasonable.
It is estimated that it is also related to one's own realm.
Similar to creating and destroying laws.
This is equivalent to having another skill.
Can only be deduced once every six months?
In fact, for Xu Fengqiu, this Deduction of Heavenly Secrets may be a skill he needs to use frequently.
Six months is actually long and short.
It still depends on the specific situation.
"Are you used to being here?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
"It's good. The atmosphere inside the Eternal First Divine Sect is much better than I imagined," Ning Xi said softly.
"Well, it's good to be used to it. There's nothing to do on weekdays. The resources here are pretty good, so just cultivate when you have time."
Ning Xi nodded: "Okay."
There is not much contact between Xu Fengqiu and her.
So even if she triggers the mission, Xu Fengqiu doesn't know how to increase her favorability in a short time.
What's more, Xu Fengqiu doesn't have the idea of increasing her favorability now.
"Has anything important happened this year?" Xu Fengqiu asked.
"For the Eternal First Divine Sect, nothing has happened."
"Well, you can be busy first."
Xu Fengqiu finished speaking and walked away.
Ning Xi had nothing to do. Since Xu Fengqiu didn't arrange anything for her, she went directly to seclusion.
And Xu Fengqiu walked to the edge of the cliff.
Deduce Heavenly Secrets?
What to deduce?
Xu Fengqiu doesn't seem to have anything to deduce now.
Deduce the outcome of the battle with the Immortal Palace?
There's really no need for that.
Then it's better to deduce something with more meaning.
"Deduce Heavenly Secrets, the time when the passage between the Eight Desolations and the Nine Provinces opens."
Previously, when Xu Fengqiu faced the Son of Destiny Xiao Chen, he knew that the passage between the Eight Desolations and the Nine Provinces would open in twenty or thirty years.
However, some things are constantly changing.
Xiao Chen's previous life was at that time.
But that doesn't mean it's still that time now.
The significance of Xu Fengqiu deducing this is actually very great.
