As he hadn't received any promise yet, Chen Qingyuan still felt a little uneasy.

Without further ado, Chen Qingyuan faced Zhixi, remained silent, and waited for the result.

"I'll take care of this for you."

Zhixi made a promise and decided to help Chen Qingyuan put his mind at ease.

These words were like the sound of nature, which made Chen Qingyuan very happy. His emotions surged on his face, and he quickly bowed to express his gratitude and thanks: "Thank you for your help, senior."

As for favors, Chen Qingyuan did not mention them. It's not that he didn't need them, but the favor was so great that there was no need to talk about it.

Ye Liujun, who was standing aside, also had a changed expression and his pupils fluctuated slightly. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"Go and do your own thing. You don't need to worry about this."

Zhixi's tone was quite firm and she would not tolerate any disobedience.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Senior."

Since Zhixi is willing to take action, it means that she is capable of solving this problem. Chen Qingyuan does not need to worry and can rest assured.

Then, Chen Qingyuan turned around and looked at Ye Liujun, smiling slightly: "Old Ye, take care."

"Take care of yourself."

Even though Ye Liujun had a thousand words to say, he didn't know how to express them. He hesitated for a moment, opened and closed his lips, and only said a simple farewell.

"call out"

Before leaving, Chen Qingyuan bowed to Zhixi again, full of respect and never overstepping the mark.

He left, riding on the wind, his figure disappearing into the horizon.

No worries, I feel relaxed.

The place they were heading to was naturally the realm of enlightenment located in Luoshen Ruins.

Watching Chen Qingyuan's back as he walked away, Zhixi's thoughts drifted away. Ever since Chen Qingyuan picked up the black stone in ancient times and was recognized by the black stone, she and Chen Qingyuan had a deep causal relationship.

Over countless eras, this mysterious stone had passed through the hands of countless creatures. However, only Chen Qingyuan had truly passed the test of the mysterious stone and gained its recognition.

Ye Liujun discovered how much Zhixi valued Chen Qingyuan and was quite confused about what kind of relationship existed between them and why Chen Qingyuan attracted so much attention from the rumored Forbidden Empress.

Zhixi even came forward to ask the reason, and was willing to help just based on Chen Qingyuan's pleading words.

"Fellow."

Although there is a huge gap in strength between the two, Ye Liujun is an emperor after all, so there is nothing wrong in addressing him as "fellow Taoist".

Zhixi nodded in return: "Yeah."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Ye Liujun bowed to express his gratitude.

"No need."

If it weren't for Chen Qingyuan's sake, Zhixi would not have intervened even if she was capable of handling the matter.

Seeing Zhixi being so aloof, Ye Liujun didn't know how to get along with her. Out of curiosity and not wanting to make the atmosphere too dull, after thinking it over again and again, he decided to ask: "Excuse me, what is the relationship between you and Chen Qingyuan?"

This question made Zhixi silent.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Zhixi didn't reply, Ye Liujun decided to change the topic to ease the atmosphere.

Just when Ye Liujun was about to speak, Zhixi answered directly and cleared up his confusion: "He is... my only disciple who inherits the legacy."

When Ye Liujun heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he was stunned for a moment.

After thinking about it for so long, I still didn't dare to guess in this direction.

Legend has it that he is the only disciple of the empress.

Chen Qingyuan’s identity and background are really... outrageous!

Zhixi, who said this, also felt a ripple in her heart. This was the first time in many years that she acknowledged Chen Qingyuan's identity, and she even said it in front of others, which was of great significance.

If Chen Qingyuan heard this, he would be overjoyed.

However, he won’t know for the time being.

However, one day in the future, Zhixi and Chen Qingyuan will officially establish this master-disciple relationship.

Because deep in his heart he regarded Zhixi as his mentor, Chen Qingyuan just showed such respect. Without Zhixi's permission, he kept bowing.

This delicate master-disciple relationship is not easy to break, especially since Zhixi's personality is rather cold and aloof. Once it is broken, it may lead to estrangement.

"I didn't expect that!"

After a long while, Ye Liujun collected his thoughts and sighed softly.

Given this relationship, it’s no wonder that Chen Qingyuan is confident in inviting the empress out.

"After this matter is settled, if you are willing, please help him in the future."

Zhixi's words meant very clearly that she didn't need Ye Liujun's favor, it was meaningless. This favor fell on Chen Qingyuan.

"clear."

They are all smart people, Ye Liujun understood.

To be honest, Ye Liujun used to admire Chen Qingyuan's personal abilities. At this moment, he was particularly envious, even a little jealous, because this guy was not only good friends with Emperor Taiwei, but also a disciple of the Empress who was in the forbidden area.

Such good fortune can be said to be great.

"sit down."

Zhixi could see that Ye Liujun's physical condition was rather bad, and she didn't want to delay and wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Ye Liujun followed orders and sat on the ground.

"Don't resist."

Zhixi spoke again.

After saying that, she slowly raised her right hand, stretched out a jade-white index finger, and pointed it at the center of Ye Liujun's eyebrows.

"Fuck!"

A ray of mysterious light burst out from the fingertips and penetrated into Ye Liujun's brow.

In just a short moment, Ye Liujun felt that the power of the shackles in his body was completely activated. The pain came instantly, and his body and soul seemed to be tortured. He clenched his teeth and broke out in a cold sweat.

The black Taoist patterns on Ye Liujun's face quickly appeared and their number increased.

The void around it was distorted and disordered.

In a trance, Ye Liujun was in a special realm, rejected by this world, his body was blurred, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Because the pain was too intense and unbearable for countless creatures in the world, he would occasionally let out a few muffled groans.

The other side, deep inside.

Mu Cangyan, who attained enlightenment in ancient times, hides his true self in an unknown corner.

At this moment, Mu Cangyan sensed the abnormal fluctuation of an important chess piece, and used his means to investigate, initially locking onto Ye Liujun, and was slightly surprised: "Did he really find a way to crack it?"

Logically speaking, with Ye Liujun's current strength, it shouldn't be possible.

A chess piece was about to go out of control, so Mu Cangyan naturally had to pay special attention. Using the rule power of the chess piece as a bridge, he separated a ray of consciousness to carefully investigate.

As long as the main body does not leave the other shore, the progress of the path to immortality will not be affected.

It's not difficult to use some tricks.

Half an hour later, the wisp of power of the rules of immortality that was wrapped around Ye Liujun and had not yet reached its complete state appeared externally, containing the law of chaos, and was shaped like a small stream, flowing slowly.

The void where Ye Liujun is located seems to be separated from this world, forming its own world with chaotic order.

"It's you!"

A vicissitudes and hoarse voice came out from this strand of rules. It was quite surprised to find Zhixi's intervention. It was really an accident.
