Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Tricking the Disciple With Skill

"No way?"

Yan Rufeng was stunned, "Master, weren’t you supposed to help me refine the Heavenly Court? Why are you asking me to cultivate and improve my cultivation?"

"Only by raising your cultivation to the Divine Separation Stage can your Immortal Venerable soul be perfectly manifested. This way, your Purple Mansion can accommodate the Heavenly Court," Hong Jun replied.

"Alright then, I can only focus on cultivating,"

Yan Rufeng sat cross-legged, just about to operate his cultivation technique, when he heard him say, "Master, where are the others who came with me? Can you let them leave the Heavenly Court first?"

"Why let them leave? Isn’t it good for them to cultivate here?" Hong Jun asked.

Yan Rufeng replied, "Master, you also said that one day here equals one year outside. If I stay here to improve my cultivation and don’t reach the Divine Separation Stage within a year, a hundred years will have passed outside. If it takes three to five years, I’m afraid the Heavenly Demons will cause havoc."

Hong Jun did not refuse Yan Rufeng. With a wave of his hand, a virtual screen suddenly appeared before Yan Rufeng.

"Rufeng, whomever you want to leave, just a single thought will do,"

"Really just a single thought?" Yan Rufeng was half-believing, half-doubting.

But Yan Rufeng still followed Hong Jun’s instructions.

Thinking that Wen JiaRen and Lu Mingliang should go first, they disappeared from the virtual screen.

"Haha..."

"Didn’t expect it to be so simple," Yan Rufeng laughed aloud.

Just like that, Yan Rufeng first moved some of the base personnel out of the Heavenly Court, and then the two thousand members of the Immortal Alliance.

After doing all this, Yan Rufeng sat cross-legged to focus on cultivation, not knowing what would happen later.

Now, Yan Rufeng had been cultivating in the Heavenly Court for three days, so naturally, three years had passed in the outside world.

During these three days in the Heavenly Court, Yan Rufeng’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds and had smoothly reached the Divine Separation Stage.

Yan Rufeng did not expect his cultivation to progress so quickly in the Heavenly Court. When he reached the Divine Separation Stage, he didn’t request to refine the Heavenly Court but continued to cultivate, aiming to reach the peak of the Divine Separation Stage...

"Rufeng, time is running out. Now that your cultivation has reached the middle stage of Divine Separation, you can refine the Heavenly Court," Hong Jun’s voice sounded in Yan Rufeng’s ear.

The cultivation technique running within Yan Rufeng’s body also stopped automatically at this moment.

Yan Rufeng slowly opened his eyes to see Hong Jun’s phantom appearing before him.

"Master, what time is running out?"

"Rufeng, my time is running out," Hong Jun replied.

"Are you leaving?"

"Rufeng, what you see is a Divine Sense left by me when I was leaving Earth. Once this Divine Sense helps you refine the Heavenly Court, it will dissipate," Hong Jun said helplessly.

"It will dissipate just like that?"

While Yan Rufeng was thinking, Daoist Master Hong Jun merged the Heavenly Court into Yan Rufeng’s Purple Mansion.

Then, Yan Rufeng’s physical body naturally left the Heavenly Court. When his body appeared on Yuxu Peak, the Divine Soul Body in his Purple Mansion stood respectfully before Hong Jun.

"Master, are you leaving?"

"Yes."

"Master, please don’t leave. I can’t bear to see you go," Yan Rufeng said, his eyes red, almost crying.

"I don’t want to either, but there’s no choice," Hong Jun’s voice faded gradually.

"Master!"

Yan Rufeng raised his head and said louder, "If you leave just like that, won’t you leave anything for me?"

"I’ve given you the entire Heavenly Court, what more do you want?" Hong Jun suddenly scolded angrily.

"Master, although the Heavenly Court has been successfully refined, my Divine Sense detects nothing inside but the Creation Jade Disc. Where are the Innate Treasures?" Yan Rufeng asked calmly.

"Isn’t the Creation Jade Disc enough?"

Yan Rufeng quickly said, "Master, the Creation Jade Disc is useless to me with my current cultivation."

"What do you understand? If I had taken the Creation Jade Disc with me back then, I wouldn’t be in this situation now. You still despise the Creation Jade Disc? Where do you get the courage?" Hong Jun said indignantly.

"But Master..."

"Enough! You disappoint me. You’re thinking about other Innate Treasures. I can responsibly tell you, except for the Creation Jade Disc, none of the Innate Treasures were left behind..." Daoist Master Hong Jun’s phantom became increasingly faint.

"Don’t be mad, Master. If there are no Innate Treasures, at least give me an Acquired Treasure!" Yan Rufeng shamelessly said.

"Get lost!"

"Not only are there no Innate or Acquired Treasures, but I also order you to bring the Creation Jade Disc to save your senior brothers in two thousand years..." Before finishing, Hong Jun’s phantom had completely disappeared.

"Save my senior brothers?"

"Where to save them from?"

"Master, why don’t you save them?"

"Wait a minute?"

Yan Rufeng shouted loudly, "Master, don’t leave in a hurry. Let’s make this clear. Are you also in danger?"

"You’re smart!"

"Haha..."

Sensing something wrong, Yan Rufeng shouted to the sky, "Master, you are truly the first master in thousands of years to scam his disciple with actual strength..."

"Good disciple, now you realize. Too late..."

"Hohoho..."

"Haha..."

With Hong Jun’s laughter fading in Yan Rufeng’s Purple Mansion, his Divine Sense completely disappeared from this world. No matter how Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul called out, there was no response from Hong Jun, and Yan Rufeng was utterly despairing this time.

Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul ceased the futile shouting and sat cross-legged beside the Creation Jade Disc.

In the sea of flowers, Yan Rufeng slowly opened his eyes and connected his Divine Sense to his Divine Soul in the Purple Mansion. With a single thought, he summoned everyone who had stayed in the Heavenly Court.

On the flower-covered peak of Yuxu Peak, the six thousand members of the Immortal Alliance and base personnel sat cross-legged on the ground.

Yan Rufeng raised his voice, "Everyone, we have left the Secret Realm. Wake up."

Soon, Chuyunzi, who was the first to awaken from cultivation, saw the scene before him and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Where is this place?"

"Yuxu Peak,"

Yan Rufeng replied.

"Sect Master, are you sure this is Yuxu Peak?" Chuyunzi asked again.

Before refining the Heavenly Court, Yan Rufeng’s master, Daoist Master Hong Jun, had told him that Earth had fully entered the Cultivation Era. If Earth’s geography hadn’t changed, that would be strange.

"Elder Chuyunzi, we have been in the Secret Realm for three years. It’s not surprising that things have changed here. Let’s hurry back to the sect," Yan Rufeng said.

Chuyunzi exclaimed, "Sect Master, why does it feel like only two or three days have passed, but three years have gone by outside? This never happened in previous entries to the Secret Realm!"

Yan Rufeng certainly knew why, because the Heavenly Court comprises more than one space. After refining it, he learned that the Heavenly Court space has thirty-three layers, each with different time flows. Also, when Chuyunzi had previously entered, it might have been the Primordial World, evident from the world’s collapse upon entering the Secret Realm. Of course, Yan Rufeng wouldn’t tell anyone about refining the Heavenly Court.

"Elder Chuyunzi, maybe the Secret Realm space you entered before was different from this time," Yan Rufeng replied.

Hearing this, Chuyunzi fell into contemplation.

The others, hearing their conversation, began to discuss among themselves.
