Yun Jin chuckled and said, "Master, if you return to Tianxing Sect, you'll also receive the corresponding resources and support. The benefits won't be any less than what the Trial Tower or the disciple quarters offer."
Lin Ya didn't show joy immediately. Instead, he looked a little worried. "Xiao Jin, is this really appropriate?"
Yun Jin blinked. "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Once we have more affiliated sects in the future, those who go out to help manage them will all receive benefits. We can't let the ones who put in the work suffer a loss."
Hearing that it would be the same for everyone, Lin Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "You're becoming more and more like a true Sect Master."
"It's all thanks to Master's teaching." Yun Jin grinned. She might be standing higher than ever before, but she didn't want to drift apart from the people close to her. No matter what her status was, some things would never change.
Lin Ya's eyes carried deep warmth. He said firmly, "Don't worry. I will manage Tianxing Sect well."
Yun Jin nodded. "Master, then I'll send you back now."
With a gentle wave of her hand, Lin Ya returned to where he had been.
The people around him looked over in surprise.
"Look, Lin Ya is back again!"
"Where did he go?"
Lin Ya laughed. "That was the Sect Master's divine art."
When he was with Yun Jin, he still called her Xiao Jin affectionately. But when others were present, he seriously addressed her as Sect Master.
Even if he was technically Yun Jin's master, Lin Ya knew he hadn't really taught her much. Instead, it was Yun Jin who had saved them all. Personal feelings were one thing, but in front of others, the Sect Master's authority was something he would protect without question.
While the others whispered curiously about what kind of divine art their Sect Master had used, Yue Zhao suddenly vanished from his room. He had been meditating alone, so no one saw his disappearance. Looking around at the changed surroundings, Yue Zhao raised his head in shock.
"Senior Brother," Yun Jin greeted him with a cheerful smile.
Yue Zhao immediately relaxed. "Junior Sister."
Yun Jin chuckled and pressed the point of enlightenment.
Before Yue Zhao could react, countless insights burst into his mind. He immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to absorb them.
Yun Jin watched quietly from the side.
Her Senior Brother was a transmigrator. An Tong had already selected a soul-cultivating technique for him, handing him the Soul Refining Codex.
But this was an Earth-rank technique, and Yue Zhao had struggled with it, unable to even enter the threshold. Now, with the enlightenment ability, he finally broke through.
The Soul Refining Codex could temper the soul into extraordinary strength.
Yue Zhao was born with two souls. If he mastered it, his strength would be doubled, and he would surely become a formidable figure. He was utterly entranced as the problems that had haunted him for so long dissolved one after another. At last, Yue Zhao succeeded in entering the Codex. He opened his eyes, looking at Yun Jin with deep gratitude.
Yun Jin laughed. "Senior Brother, now that you've entered the Codex, when you select rewards from the Trial Tower, you should choose more proficiency rewards for cultivation methods. That way, you can quickly raise your level."
Yue Zhao's spiritual realm was insufficient, and his spiritual power had already reached the limit his body could contain. Choosing cultivation proficiency rewards would increase his strength much faster.
Yue Zhao thought the same and nodded quickly. "I understand."
After finishing the serious talk, Yue Zhao hesitated as he looked at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin noticed. "Senior Brother, are you still troubled about transmigrating?"
Yue Zhao gave an embarrassed smile. "Junior Sister… you're also a transmigrator, aren't you? From my world? Which year did you cross over?"
There was hope in his eyes. He had left his world suddenly, with many ties still unfinished. If Yun Jin had come after him, perhaps she would know something of what happened after his death. As a billionaire, his passing should have at least made the news.
But Yun Jin only shook her head with regret. "Senior Brother, I may not have come from your world."
Yue Zhao froze.
Not from his world? That couldn't be.
Junior Sister clearly knew so much about his world's culture.
Seeing his doubt, Yun Jin explained, "The heavens and earth are vast, and there are countless small worlds among the Three Thousand Worlds. Some of these may be similar, but they are not exactly the same. For example, have you heard of parallel worlds?"
Yue Zhao nodded.
"Parallel worlds might share the same culture, technology, even identical people. But they're still entirely different worlds. In one world I traveled to, there was also Smiling Proud Wanderer, so I knew of Ren Woxing. But that doesn't mean that world was your world."
Yue Zhao understood. A faint sense of disappointment stirred in him.
Still, after so many years in this realm, most of his past had already faded. If he were given the choice now, whether to return home or stay here, he realized he would rather remain.
Back then, all his effort had gone into keeping Tianjian Peak alive. His mind had been focused on survival more than cultivation. But now, Yun Jin had changed everything. He had a new life and a new path to walk. One day, he too would prove the Dao and ascend.
Finally, Yue Zhao let go completely.
The past was gone.
This Yue Zhao would walk his own road.
"Senior Brother, I'll send you back." Yun Jin saw his clarity and returned him.
Next came Si Wanning.
Yun Jin also granted her enlightenment.
An Tong had once seen karmic traces upon Si Wanning through the Mirror of True Heart.
The Primordial Cause and Effect was one of the most terrifying Forces.
If someone could truly master it, it'd be a first-grade Primordial Force.
Si Wanning was still far from that, nowhere near even the entry level, but those karmic traces were there. When her opportunity came, she might achieve a breakthrough. Even a fragment of understanding would be enough to shake the small worlds.
The technique given to her earlier was the Dust Heart Codex.
It emphasized clarity of heart and insight into one's true self. For others, it would merely strengthen the mind. But for Si Wanning, it might allow her to perceive the karmic traces upon herself, stepping onto her destined path.
After enlightenment, Si Wanning clearly gained new comprehension. Yun Jin waited until she finished cultivating before sending her back.
Then came Yu Songnian.
He was of mixed blood, half human and half other-race. This dual lineage had long hindered his progress. Now he practiced the Bloodline Spirit Codex, which drew upon bloodline power to manifest a formidable spirit body in battle.
The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the manifested spirit. This allowed him to temporarily suppress his Stone Clan bloodline. But to fully integrate it, one day he might have to journey to the lands of the other races. After enlightenment, Yu Songnian too gained fresh insight.
Yun Jin waited until he had absorbed enough before sending him away.
Out of ten enlightenment chances, four had already been used.
For the next six, Yun Jin first summoned Ye Cheng, her First Disciple.
