Cangyuan Sect and Yuan Sect also quickly chose the locations for their sects.
Their positions were arranged to the left and right of the Sword Sect, looking like guardians for the Sword Sect.
Yun Qingyu and the others were a bit depressed.
However, there was nothing they could do.
The closer they were to the spirit spring, the more abundant the spiritual energy. It was due to their inferiority that these two spots were the next best to the Sword Sect's main gate.
Yu Kui, with his uncanny power, helped the other two sects establish their gates as well.
The three sects quickly began their construction with full enthusiasm.
Yu Kui smiled slightly and said, "If you need anything, you can silently call my name in your mind, and I will appear."
Then, he vanished into thin air, his whereabouts unknown.
Lin Qingling exclaimed, "The City Lord truly lives up to her title. Even a puppet under her command is so powerful."
This also showed that Yu Jin had gone to great lengths to help them integrate into this place.
Even for the City Lord, she wouldn't have many top-tier puppets like Yu Kui.
"The City Lord's power is undeniable," said Elder Yi. "We must not fail her arrangements. After the sect gates are built, we should begin cultivating as soon as possible."
Ten years.
Yu Jin had given them a ten-year seclusion period, which was also a ten-year protection period.
After ten years, they would have to truly face this wonderful and dangerous world.
Everyone nodded with grave expressions.
Ten years seemed long.
But when they truly started cultivating, it might pass in an instant.
They had to seize every moment to improve themselves so that they could gain a bit more self-preservation ability in ten years.
Seven days later.
The new Sword Sect was completed.
The new Sword Sect was built surrounding the spirit spring. The layout was completely different, yet the buildings were very similar, giving a familiar yet strange feeling.
Li Shuang specifically climbed to the highest peak and watched the sunrise again.
The continent changed.
Time rotated.
Everything in this world was changing.
Only the sun and the moon remained eternal and unchanging.
As long as the sun and moon were still in the sky, hope seemed to remain.
Li Shuang quietly watched a sunrise.
This time, she thought of many people.
They were no longer here.
But what they left behind, coexisted with the sun and moon.
As she descended the mountain, Li Shuang saw the Sword Sect disciples already busy.
"Xiao Shuang," Luo Mingyue called out from a distance when she saw Li Shuang. "Do you want to team up for a mission?"
Li Shuang walked over: "Mission?"
Liu Juncheng explained, "Senior Yu Kui has set up a mission hall in the three sects, and there are already many missions there. As long as you complete a mission, you can get points and exchange them for various treasures."
Sui Jin couldn't help but say, "We don't know where this place is exactly. Besides us, there are many strange creatures living here. These creatures... oh, they're a bit like those demonic creatures that suddenly appeared from the black ball that day. The missions issued by the City Lord are mostly related to these demonic creatures. As long as you kill them, you can gain points."
"There are also some treasure-finding missions. This area we are in is thousands of miles wide, and the missions indicate that some treasures are hidden in dangerous places. If you can retrieve them, you will not only get the treasures but also receive point rewards."
"This place is like a large secret realm specially created for us by the City Lord. Everything here exists to improve our strength."
Li Shuang nodded.
The City Lord had arranged so many things in such a short time.
Is this what a top-tier powerhouse in the human world is like?
With top-tier strength and control over a giant like Wanfa City, the City Lord could probably do things beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Junior Sister, want to come play with us?" Luo Mingyue invited.
Li Shuang glanced at their mission, but shook her head, honestly saying, "This mission is too simple for me. If I go with you, you won't have any sense of accomplishment."
Luo Mingyue was instantly silent.
Although it was the truth!
But couldn't she be a little less blunt?
Luo Mingyue looked at Li Shuang with a heavy heart. "Then we'll go by ourselves."
Li Shuang nodded, "I might be going into seclusion for a while."
For cultivators, going into seclusion was normal, and Luo Mingyue and the others didn't have any special reactions other than a bit of regret that they wouldn't see Li Shuang for a while.
Watching Luo Mingyue and the others leave the sect, Li Shuang returned to her cave dwelling.
She activated the protective formation, entered the secret chamber, and sat down cross-legged.
After experiencing such a fierce battle this time, something was always stirring within her.
What was this thing?
Li Shuang didn't know.
But she wanted to find it.
Li Shuang took out her Eye of All Laws.
Then, her spirit entered the City of All Laws.
Upon arriving in the City of All Laws, an incredibly lively sound came through.
The City of All Laws was as bustling as ever.
Li Shuang didn't stay long in the City of All Laws. She used the clearance reward and returned directly to the Spirit Soul Golden Altar.
Li Shuang's gaze was firm.
This time, she would achieve a perfect clearance in the Spirit Soul Golden Altar.
She would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Li Shuang immersed herself in her solitary cultivation.
The path she was destined to take was different from others.
She needed to walk this path alone.
But she was never lonely.
Heaven and earth, all things were her companions.
Time flew by.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
The three sects had completely settled down here.
The disciples were busy every day taking missions, killing demonic creatures, and searching for treasures, living a very fulfilling life.
Everyone's strength had also improved significantly.
One day.
Luo Mingyue was about to leave the sect when she spotted Yan Fan pacing outside the Sword Sect gate.
Luo Mingyue raised an eyebrow, "Yan Fan, how many times have I told you? Xiao Shuang is still in seclusion! Besides, with your meager skills, challenging Xiao Shuang is just asking for a beating, isn't it?"
Yan Fan felt sullen for a moment, then said, "Even if it's asking for a beating, I need to know if the gap between us has narrowed."
Luo Mingyue looked at him with a hint of disdain, "You can rest assured."
Yan Fan's eyes lit up, "You mean, the gap between us must have narrowed?"
Luo Mingyue said very sincerely, "I mean, the gap between you two has only widened."
Are you kidding?!
Junior Sister is a monster.
Every time she comes out of seclusion, her strength will have a massive growth!
Yan Fan's level...
It's best not to even think about closing the gap.
"That's not necessarily true," Yan Fan snorted coldly, turned, and left.
He, Yan Fan, would be back!
Luo Mingyue looked at Yan Fan's retreating figure with sympathy.
Originally, in her eyes, Yan Fan was a proud and aloof young genius.
Now...
She just felt that four words were written all over him: "Unlucky Child!"
Next.
Yan Fan still came to the Sword Sect every six months.
However.
Another year passed.
Another two years passed.
Li Shuang, however, still hadn't come out of seclusion.
Yan Fan's visits gradually became once a year.
However.
Li Shuang still showed no sign of coming out of seclusion.
Year after year passed.
Time reached the eighth year.
