Chapter 1904  Leaving the Desolate Continent

”How long do you plan on training here?” Elder Sun asked Yuan when he continued shortly after the Immortal Ensnaring Vault was activated.

”Since we canʼt leave, I will train until the Immortal Ensnaring Vault is deactivated. Iʼm sure the Sect Leader wonʼt punish us for returning late, as we have no control over our situation.”

Elder Sun nodded and said, ”Alright, but if the Immortal Ensnaring Vault isnʼt gone by the end of the year, Iʼll take us out of here, even if it might inconvenience the Nine Immortal Clans.”

Thus, Yuan continued his training in the Desolate Continent.

A few weeks later, Elder Sun suddenly asked him, ”Iʼve been wondering, but why are you storing all of the magical beasts?”

”To sell them.”

”For money? Are you in need of money?” Elder Sun asked, misunderstanding his intentions.

”Itʼs not money, but itʼs something like that.”

”I donʼt understand.” Elder Sun shook her head, but she didnʼt try to question any further.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had gone by since the Immortal Ensnaring Vaultʼs activation.

Yuan had reached the peak of Spirit King, and he was only one monster core away from the next realm.

Once he acquired the monster core, Yuan wasted no time consuming it. Although he didnʼt expect any results, he still wanted to confirm it.

However, to his surprise, the limit that had prevented him from breaking through the peak of Spirit King before evolving his physique was not present, and heʼd entered the first level of Spirt Emperor without any issues.

ʼWhat the hell? I donʼt need to evolve my physique to increase my cultivation?ʼ Yuan was quite surprised by the results.

However, if he thought about it, while it may seem like a good thing that he didnʼt need to evolve his physique, it was actually a bad thing. After all, if the physique was weaker than the original, then there was a good chance it didnʼt have the capability to evolve at all.

”Heavens… youʼre already a Spirit Emperor? Itʼs only been three months since you reached Spirit Lord! At this rate, youʼll return to the sect as a Spirit Sovereign! Only Core Disciples who have been at the sect for over a hundred years have reached that level!”

”I guess Iʼll take the Core Disciple examination as soon as I return—Oh, right. I still need contribution points. Whatʼs the fastest way to earn a thousand contribution points?” Yuan asked her.

”The fastest way? Ask the Sect Leader for the points,” she jokingly said.

However, this gave Yuan an idea.

ʼWhat if I can purchase contribution points with points?ʼ

”Whatʼs a realistic option?” Yuan asked, just in case he couldnʼt purchase them.

”There is none. Assist sect elders and participate in as many events as you can.”

”I see.”

Time continued to pass, and before Yuan realized it, itʼd been half a year since the Immortal Ensnaring Vault had trapped them inside the Desolate Continent. Yet, the Immortal Ensnaring Vault remained active.

ʼWhat is going on? Why is the Immortal Ensnaring Vault still active? It shouldʼve been deactivated by now…ʼ Yuan thought to himself as he looked at the black barrier in the sky.

He gave it a few more weeks just in case he remembered wrong.

”Itʼs still active…” he mumbled.

This was the second time the timeline had strayed from the one he knew.

He couldnʼt fathom why the Immortal Ensnaring Vault was still active. ʼCould this be a different timeline? If that were the case, why do the people here have memories of my timelineʼs Tian Yang?ʼ

Suddenly, Yuan noticed a drastic change in Elder Sunʼs expression, looking like sheʼd just eaten a fly.

”Elder Sun? What happened?” Yuan asked her.

She sighed.

”Nothing. I just had an argument with Tian Yang.”

”What?” Yuanʼs eyes widened at her puzzling response.

ʼShe just had an argument with me? Howʼs that possible?ʼ

Elder Sun had been by his side this entire time, and there was no way he wouldʼve missed her interacting with Tian Yang, even if he was focused on training.

”What did Tian Yang say?” Yuan decided to dig deeper.

”Iʼd secretly placed a life-saving treasure on him without telling him. He didnʼt give too much information, but someone he was close to died, and it seems like heʼs blaming me for it.”

”...”

Yuan was speechless. That conversation sounded like what had occurred right outside Han Zexianʼs Tomb, but theyʼd never gotten close to that place.

ʼWait… What if her memories are progressing as if sheʼs in the original timeline, but in reality, sheʼs living a different timeline, and I am the cause of this phenomenon because I made her remember Tian Yang, who doesnʼt exist in this world?ʼ

After pondering a little longer, Yuan found it to make more and more sense.

ʼThis wonʼt trigger the destruction of this world, right?ʼ Yuan swallowed nervously as he recalled what happened when Huang Xiao Li recalled memories of the original timeline.

The Immortal Ensnaring Vault lasted for another two months before finally being deactivated.

”Looks like the Nine Immortal Clans are finally done. Are you ready to return to the sect?” Elder Sun asked Yuan, whoʼd just finished slaying a magical beast.

”Yes, I am ready.”

Yuan thought about visiting Han Zexianʼs Tomb but decided against it in the end since it wouldnʼt really benefit him, who could purchase treasures at the point store.

Sometime later, Yuan and Elder Sun left the Desolate Continent on the flying treasure.

Once they returned to the Immortal Monastery, Elder Sun dropped Yuan off at his living quarters while she went to speak with the Sect Leader.

”Get some rest. Youʼve trained for over half a year with barely any rest. Come see me next week,” she said to him before leaving.

However, Yuan didnʼt bother going home and went straight to the point store to sell his loot.

”Can I sell materials obtained outside the sect for points?” Yuan asked the clerk.

”Of course.”

Yuan sighed in relief after hearing this and immediately placed all of the spatial rings heʼd filled with magical beasts on the desk.

”Iʼd like to sell all of the materials here.”

”I understand. Give me a few minutes to calculate everything.”
