Wang Liyao wasn’t concerned with Dongfang Aoshi’s excitement and waved her hand, saying: "Your talent and cultivation base are decent. Work hard in your cultivation and strive to contribute more to the Human race."

She had casually helped countless people before, so she naturally wouldn’t take this matter to heart. After saying this, she was about to leave.

This time, she had gained a lot, and had even discovered a clue of immense value, eagerly preparing to undertake a great endeavor.

Seeing her about to leave, Dongfang Aoshi became anxious, quickly chasing after her and daringly asked: "Miss, can I join your team as a logistics member?"

"You?" Wang Liyao glanced at him, then solemnly shook her head, rejecting him formally, "You’re too young and your strength is too weak. Consider joining my Yaoguang Sword Ship when you reach the Divine Power Territory."

It wasn’t that she looked down upon cultivators of the Purple Abode Realm, but the areas she explored were always dangerous. Cultivators at the Purple Abode Realm would find it difficult to protect themselves. Not to mention, even cultivators with specialized skills from the Divine Power Territory could only serve as logistics members on her ship.

Hearing this, Dongfang Aoshi felt a bit disappointed but still sincerely bowed in gratitude.

He had anticipated this outcome deep down, knowing that he was unlikely to succeed, yet he couldn’t give up without asking. Now that he had been rejected, he gave up completely.

However, he believed that as long as he worked hard on cultivation and improved his skills, he would eventually have a chance to join Miss Liyao’s fleet.

Just as Wang Liyao was about to leave.

Suddenly.

The voice of Codex Artifact Spirit Ling Yun sounded in her mind: "Sister Yao Yao, the Divine Soul aura that Dongfang Aoshi just revealed in the face of danger, feels very familiar to me, almost like family."

Divine Soul aura feels very familiar?

Wang Liyao’s heart was stirred.

Although she had now inherited the Immortal River Sword Scripture, she still had not given up the Transcendent Cloud Codex.

The Transcendent Cloud Codex held a different significance for her. She hoped to use her exceptional talent and effort to gradually develop the Codex to the level of an Immortal Scripture in the future, allowing her to truly become the signature Immortal Scripture of Lingyun Holy Ground.

However, Ling Yun the Artifact Spirit had been somewhat intimidated by the spirit of the Sword Scripture and didn’t often speak.

Unexpectedly, when she did speak, it was a big revelation.

Wang Liyao stopped her movements and turned to give Dongfang Aoshi a deep appraisal: "Use your God Sense, attack me."

"Ah? This, this... I don’t dare."

Dongfang Aoshi’s face turned pale with fear, repeatedly expressing his unwillingness.

However, Wang Liyao insisted, and he ultimately couldn’t go against her wishes, following her orders to condense his God Sense into an invisible sword, slashing at Liyao.

Typically, when God Sense transforms into a physical attack, its power pales compared to Mysterious Energy. Given Dongfang Aoshi’s current cultivation only at the Purple Abode Realm, he can barely bully those at the Spirit Platform Realm.

To Wang Liyao, who had reached the Transcendent Void Realm with an immensely powerful Divine Soul, this level of power was barely an itch.

She easily blocked the invisible sword that Dongfang Aoshi’s God Sense had formed.

But just as the God Sense dispersed, the Artifact Spirit Ling Yun grew excited again within Wang Liyao’s Sea of Consciousness: "Indeed, very familiar. Oh, I remember now, his Divine Soul aura is strikingly similar to the Old Sacred Master."

Artifact Spirit Ling Yun had been bound to Jiang Zhencang for over three millennia, staying in his Purple Abode within the Sea of Consciousness for three thousand years. No one in this world was more familiar with Jiang Zhencang’s Divine Soul aura than her.

Old Sacred Master!

Wang Liyao’s delicate frame trembled, disbelief reflecting in her eyes.

Her master Jiang Zhencang had already passed away over three centuries ago, how could he appear here? Could it be...

An uncontrollable speculation arose in her heart.

When she inherited the Transcendent Cloud Codex, she automatically became Jiang Zhencang’s direct disciple, and in the following years, her master treated her exceptionally well. The affairs within Lingyun Holy Ground were all patiently taught to her by him.

Although she wasn’t like Wang Ying Xuan, who had been Jiang Zhencang’s disciple from the beginning, over the years of interaction, she had already regarded him as family.

At the moment Jiang Zhencang’s soul entered the Cycle River, Wang Liyao had already enlisted the intervention of Old Ancestor Wang Chenlun of the Tree of Reincarnation.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhencang was merely an ordinary cultivator of the Transcendent Void Realm, and his soul was too weak compared to those of the True Immortal Realm, preventing Old Ancestor Chenlun from intervening extensively for fear he would be completely obliterated, and only managed a minor intervention to hold him within the scope of the Divine Martial World.

This was because Old Ancestor Chenlun had healed from most of his injuries by now, and Jiang Zhencang’s soul was relatively weak without a specific target for reincarnation, consuming less energy. If it had been several hundred years ago, even if Old Ancestor Chenlun wanted to intervene, he would have been powerless.

The Cycle River itself is one of the fundamental operating Laws of cosmic life, infinitely mysterious, and even Old Ancestor Chenlun, a holy tree named "Reincarnation," only grasped some rudimentary methods, unable to determine where Jiang Zhencang’s soul would be reborn, only being able to confirm that it would appear within three centuries.

The vast expanse of the Divine Martial World is terrifically populated, with such a large range, even Wang Liyao finding her master’s reincarnated soul would be like searching for a needle in the ocean, with dim hopes.

She hadn’t expected to inadvertently encounter someone suspected to be her master’s reincarnation in this place, and even be recognized on the spot by the Transcendent Cloud Codex.
