Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

The Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has only been restored for a mere decade, and the most advanced practitioner Shen Yuan had seen was the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, who had just entered the Void Refining Stage.

However, the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, by upholding the fate of the dynasty, coupled with the layouts of past generations and the sacrifice of lifespan in search of a breakthrough, had just barely stepped into the Void Refining Stage, resulting in extremely severe repercussions.

Yet Gong Buyu, without relying on any external forces, had entered the Void Refining Stage in a perfectly complete state. This rate of cultivation was definitely not normal.

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, fixating his gaze on the illusory image of the Taiyin Moonshine behind Xia Yunqiu.

Within that phantom of Taiyin Moonshine, Shen Yuan briefly glimpsed a sliver of the true meaning of the Taiyin Path, which clearly indicated that Xia Yunqiu's Moon Extraction Divine Power had stepped into the fourth realm.

Even though the Moon Extraction Divine Power was not ranked high among the Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers, it was, after all, a fourth-realm Earthly Destroyer Divine Power. Even Shen Yuan possessed only one such skill at this level, Pot's Heaven.

"With such a pace of cultivation and understanding of the Tao, could it be that Buyu is the chosen one of some powerful expert?

Related to the path of Taiyin Moonshine, could it be the Taiyin Star Monarch? The Moon Goddess Changxi? Or perhaps the Taiyin Jade Rabbit?"

Shen Yuan kept his thoughts to himself and spoke to Gong Buyu,

"I have been away for several years, and during the time I was absent, it seems you have not forgotten your cultivation.

Activate your Moon Extraction Divine Power and let me see how much progress you have made!"

Gong Buyu nodded gladly, and at the next moment, her expression turned to one of indifference; her beautiful eyes reflected a detached overlook of all beings.

Around her, Year End Freezing Weather Qi circulated ceaselessly as if intending to freeze the entire courtyard. Moonlight condensed into a bright round moon, replacing the sun under the clear day skies, showering boundless moonshine over the entire Imperial Capital.

"Good!"

Shen Yuan showed a hint of appreciation as he slowly raised his right hand, the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching Great Divine Power began to operate in an instant.

This Great Divine Power was fundamentally of the Heaven Patching Path. Ever since the birth of this Divine Skill, it has been closely related to the Sun Star, and ultimately, it became the life signature Divine Power of the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, capturing the power of the Sun Star effortlessly.

In Shen Yuan's palm, specks of brilliance gathered, eventually miniaturizing into a greatly reduced Great Sun.

The warm sunlight poured down, thoroughly dispelling the coldness of Year-End Freezing Weather.

Then Shen Yuan lifted his hand towards the sky, and the warm sun in his palm obscured the view of the round moon for everyone.

When he lowered his hand, the warm Great Sun, seemingly held in Shen Yuan's palm just a moment ago, was now suspended high in the Ninth Heavens, illuminating the earth.

The moonshine descending from Taiyin Moonshine, along with its chill, was easily swallowed up by the warm Great Sun.

Gong Buyu appeared startled, and the phantom of Taiyin Moonshine behind her dimmed a bit, the emotions within those beautiful eyes becoming increasingly vivid and no longer as indifferent as before.

"You have stepped onto the Taiyin Path, and your comprehension of the Great Path is already on par with many Tao Harmony Taoist Doyens.

However, the path of Taiyin Moonshine you practice is too heavily marked by the traces of Moon Extraction Divine Power, having already entered the trajectory laid by others.

The Moon Extraction Divine Power is indeed extraordinary, but one must not entirely rely on any single Divine Skill law."

Gong Buyu quietly had an epiphany.

Besides, she could sense that the warm Great Sun that Shen Yuan had brought forth seemed to cause some changes to her body, but upon careful reflection, it was hard to perceive.

"Thank you for the guidance, Master. Buyu has learned her lesson!"

Shen Yuan nodded in satisfaction, but a hint of malice fleetingly crossed the depths of his eyes.

The path of Taiyin Moonshine showcased by Gong Buyu had completely confirmed for Shen Yuan that his disciple was related to some powerful force.

As for the so-called powerful entities making their moves, Shen Yuan was not very touched. However, if the other party truly intended to use his disciple to achieve a certain purpose, Shen Yuan would certainly not agree.

"Even if the incarnation of Taiyin descends in the Primal Chaos Realm, it shall not cause mischief!"

With myriad thoughts flashing through his mind and gone in an instant, on the surface, Shen Yuan remained smiling, watching Gong Buyu with a gentle demeanor.

"Junior Brother Gong, how have you been these days?"

"Reporting to Master, the constraints of the world of Primal Chaos Realm are gradually recovering, and father's condition has improved quite a bit. He can now freely move about in the grotto heavens using his true form."

"Now that Junior Brother Gong has awakened, perhaps it would be fitting to visit him in a few days."

Shen Yuan said these words with a hint of curiosity towards Gong Buhuo, as he had not forgotten that Gong Buhuo was theoretically the true successor of the Falling Clouds Sect.

The reason Shen Yuan had not actively proposed visiting Gong Buhuo before was due to his own insufficient strength, fearing to give himself away in front of this esteemed ancestor.

At present, Shen Yuan considered his strength might not match that of a powerful expert following the path of a Human Immortal, but he believed he had more than enough ability to defend himself should he need to retaliate, even potentially to turn the tables if he were to return to the world of mortals.

Under such circumstances, Shen Yuan naturally had no more reservations.

Shen Yuan also wished to learn more about the origins of the Artificial Intelligence System from Gong Buhuo, the successor of the Falling Clouds Sect.

Gong Buyu immediately showed a look of surprise upon hearing this:

"My father has long wished to pay his respects to you, but unfortunately was confined by the limitations of heaven and earth and could not enter the world. He will be extremely pleased to hear this news!"

Shen Yuan simply smiled and nodded in response.

Xia Yunqiu, who was watching the exchange between Gong Buyu and Shen Yuan, couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her eyes.

Although both she and Xue Mingzhi shared a mentor-disciple relationship with Shen Yuan, only Gong Buyu was his disciple who received his personal coaching.

The atmosphere in the courtyard gradually became lively, and Bai Xue, who had been lounging on top of the Maine Coon Cat, quietly slipped beside Shen Yuan and wriggled into his arms up his pant leg.

Over these days, Shen Yuan had been pondering the Immobilization Divine Power and Dream Implanting Divine Power, occasionally using the little cat as a test subject for practice, much to the small cat's chagrin.

Naturally, the cat sought to make the most of its time with Shen Yuan when he took a break from his cultivation.

"Oh right, I've been so engrossed in speaking with Master that I nearly forgot there's an important matter to discuss."

"What important matter?"

Gong Buyu respectfully bowed to Shen Yuan once more, his expression carrying a touch of worry as he said:

"After Master left, I stayed in Wenn City.

As per your earlier instructions, the Fu Family People had been responsible for looking after the Shen family and your sister, Shen Yu, and there had been no issues until then.

But later on, by a stroke of fate, Shen Yu entered the Essence Refining to Qi Transformation stage and discovered the Fu Family's clandestine care. After questioning them, she sought to find out your whereabouts.

The Fu Family falsely claimed you had entered a grotto heavens blessed land to cultivate immortality, which prompted Shen Yu to consider cultivating herself and seek out small factions in Wenn City for guidance in cultivation methods."

"I couldn't bear to see Shen Yu deceived, so I boldly appeared on behalf of my father to take her as a disciple, leading her to enter the Rongcheng's Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.

Several years of cultivation have passed, and now Shen Yu has already advanced to the Qi Training Stage.

Upon learning of Master's return, I originally wanted to visit you immediately, but the revival of heaven and earth granted me an opportunity to break through to the Void Refining Stage, which delayed me for over a month to achieve the breakthrough.

Just a few days ago, the Shen family moved to the Imperial Capital, and Shen Yu wanted to return home to visit her family, so I accompanied her to the Imperial Capital to see Master."

"Now Shen Yu is within the Imperial Capital, does Master wish to meet her?"

The words of Gong Buyu left Shen Yuan in thoughtful silence.

Right after crossing over to this world, Shen Yuan had distanced himself from the Shen family, and the emotional bond between them was not strong, except for the instruction he gave to the Fu Family to look after the Shen family.

Shen Yu, his older sister, was extremely kind to Shen Yuan when he first crossed over, but because Shen Yuan moved early into the old city district, and due to various upheavals caused by the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, their communication dwindled significantly.

As time went on, this sister in name had all but become a symbol in his memory.

After a long silence, Shen Yuan slowly said:

"It was my oversight not to have guided Shen Yu into cultivation, only ensuring her protection. You've done well."

"As for meeting her, the time is not yet right."

A look of puzzlement crossed Gong Buyu's face.

"I plan to go to Ying Island to suppress the unrest in the Netherworld. Once I return from Ying Island, I shall visit Junior Brother Gong in the Rongcheng's Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, and then it will not be too late to meet."
