Chapter 1261: The Promise
Chapter 1261: The Promise
After returning and spending some quality time with Shi Xueyun and Yi Sixue, Yi Tianyun did not linger for long. His figure flickered and then disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was at the core surface of the Three Realms. Without a doubt, he now wanted to complete the previous task, which was to cross the Bridge of Forgetfulness!
He had felt that he couldn’t pass it before, but now with a breakthrough in his cultivation, he wondered if he could pass the Bridge of Forgetfulness.
“I wonder if I can pass it this time. If I can, I will uncover the secrets of the Three Realms!”
Yi Tianyun knew well that the Three Realms were far from simple. Although they seemed straightforward on the surface, they were absolutely not. Previously, he thought they could be easily destroyed, but upon closer inspection, he found that the place was terrifyingly sturdy. Even a Heaven Venerable couldn’t destroy it.
This was the scary part. As his cultivation improved and his vision broadened, he became more aware of its terrifying aspects.
Who was the powerful person that created the Three Realms? And why did they do it?
When Yi Tianyun extended his hand and covered the Divine Imprint, his soul consciousness was quickly absorbed into it. When he woke up again, he was inside it once more.
The surroundings hadn’t changed; various souls were still coming and going, with many unfamiliar faces. But that wasn’t the main point. He headed directly to the front of the Bridge of Forgetfulness, looking across it.
After a brief pause, he lifted his foot and stepped onto the Bridge of Forgetfulness, wanting to see if he could cross it.
As he approached the Bridge of Forgetfulness, he saw souls constantly walking across and disappearing at the end, never to be seen again.
As he lifted his foot onto the bridge, just as his foot touched it, he felt his soul consciousness begin to fade. In an instant, he almost forgot who he was, forgetting everything, even his martial arts and his wife.
In the next second, he quickly retreated, stumbling back a few steps, and almost falling to the ground.
“So terrifying! I almost lost all my memories!” Yi Tianyun was horrified. He had thought he could withstand it, but now he realized how naive he was. If he had taken a few more steps forward, all his memories would have vanished.
He would have been truly reincarnated, forgetting everything. He wasn’t sure whether he could regain his memories. Who could know when he might regain them, especially when he needed to cultivate to a certain level before it was possible?
This was only a possibility. Whether it could succeed was another matter. It was possible he might never remember.
“I didn’t expect it to be so terrifying. How strong does one need to be to reach the end without losing their memories?”
Yi Tianyun was still shaken, unable to recover fully. Even when he walked the Heaven Venerable Path, he didn’t feel as terrified; the two weren’t on the same level.
Though he knew it would be difficult to pass, he hadn’t expected it to be so terrifying.
“Seems like not even a Heaven Venerable could pass through here?”
Yi Tianyun frowned, and he dared not attempt teleportation. If the memory erasure were more severe, everything would be over.
He wouldn’t do anything reckless, and a small mistake could be fatal.
He looked deeply at the Bridge of Forgetfulness, then decisively turned and left, not lingering. His soul consciousness soon returned to his body, looking at the Divine Imprint beneath his feet. It was clear he needed stronger cultivation to uncover the truth.
But after a major breakthrough, he would return to try again to see where the gap lay.
“Ding, successfully completed the side quest ‘Help Patriarch Ji Detoxify’, gaining five Compressed Crazy Points, five Compressed Proficiency Points, fifty Divine Spirit Race Favorability Points, and a Lottery Roulette Chance!”
Not long after he emerged, this task popped up, undoubtedly indicating that Patriarch Ji had woken up and been fully detoxified, thus completing the task.
The reward was a bit meager. Compared to the past, it was quite substantial, but now it felt a bit lacking, though better than nothing.
“Patriarch Ji has woken up, it’s time to visit.”
Though Elder Ji Yue and others had authority, he still needed to meet with Patriarch Ji to discuss matters.
His figure flashed and he reappeared in the Spirit Race Forest, walking a few steps before seeing Ji Shuilian rush out from the house ahead.
“Young Master Tianyun, my father has woken up! We were just about to find you, and you arrived.” Ji Shuilian was overjoyed, even knowing her father could detoxify, seeing him wake up was still very exciting.
“Then let’s go meet Patriarch Ji.” Yi Tianyun nodded with a smile and walked in with her.
Elder Ji Yue and others were present as soon as they entered the house, including Ye Qingxuan. It seemed they had already talked and explained everything.
When Patriarch Ji saw Yi Tianyun enter, he tried to sit up, grateful: “You must be Emperor Tianyun who saved me, thank you for your help. I am unwell and cannot rise, please forgive me.”
“There’s no need for that. You are my senior, such formalities are unnecessary.” Yi Tianyun quickly said.
“No, you saved our Divine Spirit Race, and for that, you deserve my bow. As the Patriarch, I failed to lead my people out of danger and fell into a trap.” Patriarch Ji smiled bitterly. Without Yi Tianyun they would have been doomed.
“Having your heart is enough, or rather, helping improve my forces would be greatly appreciated.” Yi Tianyun straightforwardly said, no pretense.
“Instead of empty gratitude, helping strengthen my forces would be better.”
“That is naturally not a problem!” Patriarch Ji’s eyes flashed: “We will do our best to elevate your forces to the First Grade God Domain level!”
Patriarch Ji’s words held more weight than Elder Ji Yue and others.
“Thank you, Ji Patriarch.” Yi Tianyun smiled, satisfied with the promise. His goal was to elevate to the First Grade God Domain level quickly. Taking too big a step could lead to a fall.

After finishing his discussion with Patriarch Ji and the others, Yi Tianyun left with great satisfaction without staying any longer. Since the Divine Spirit Race had many things to arrange, he didn’t want to disturb them further.
He didn’t need any other rewards. While the Divine Spirit Race could reward him, he didn’t require anything for the time being. Instead, he wanted the rewards to be transferred to the Three Realms!
If the Divine Spirit Race wholeheartedly raised the strength of the Three Realms, he would already be very pleased.
His personal teaching ability was limited, mainly in martial arts, whereas the Divine Spirit Race could significantly enhance the proficiency in Divine Imprints. Especially with several elders around, they could assist in many ways.
When Yi Tianyun left, Patriarch Ji leaned lightly against the bedside and said to the elders, “Other than some forbidden martial arts, teach everything else. Especially focus on enhancing the strength of this faction, regardless of race, everyone should be cultivated extensively!”
“Patriarch Ji, do you mean…?”
Elder Ji Yue and the others were dumbfounded. They initially thought Patriarch Ji would oppose something or have other opinions. Now he was suggesting to help the Three Realms extensively, almost without holding back, which surprised them. They initially thought at least half of their knowledge would be retained to keep a sense of mystery and status.
Patriarch Ji’s decision to impart almost everything, treating them as their own disciples, and spreading the knowledge throughout the Three Realms without considering racial differences, puzzled them.
“Are you wondering why I am making this decision, to almost unreservedly teach and guide this faction?” Patriarch Ji smiled faintly. “Do you think that perhaps I haven’t fully recovered from the poison and am talking nonsense?”
“Absolutely not, absolutely not!”
The three elders hastily gestured, indicating they never thought that, although in reality, they did consider it. They suspected that Patriarch Ji, just having detoxified, might still be somewhat confused.
“Alright, no need to say more.” Patriarch Ji said sternly, “I made this decision after hearing your descriptions and combining them with the situation here.”
“What situation here? Isn’t this just a mortal realm faction? I did some investigation, and overall, it’s quite decent compared to other mortal realms, especially with the number of Star Monarchs being quite high.” Elder Ji Yu said thoughtfully.
Now the Three Realms had significantly more Star Monarchs, but still no Earth Monarchs. Such levels were not easily attained and required time to accumulate.
Patriarch Ji shook his head, “That’s just the surface. The real importance is that I sensed the presence of our ancestors’ energy here! Moreover, it’s the energy of our true ancestors, concentrated in the core here!”
“Our Ancestor’s presence, here?” They were shocked. Patriarch Ji could more accurately judge this, having experienced the ancestors’ power before.
“Yes, initially I didn’t believe it, but after careful sensing, it is indeed so. Our ancestors must have arranged something here, making it far from simple!” Patriarch Ji said slowly. “So, if our ancestors valued this place so much, shouldn’t we put great effort into nurturing it? Moreover, there are so many of our descendants here. Even though their bloodline is dormant, once awakened, they will be just like us.”
“This also shows a lot about the situation here, suggesting that there might be ancestral bloodlines left here, crucial for our Divine Spirit Race’s resurgence!”
Patriarch Ji dropped another bombshell, leaving the three elders stunned and speechless. If other tribe members were present, they would be equally shocked.
Patriarch Ji only discussed this with the three elders, not delving into it deeply with others.
The three of them exchanged glances. Elder Ji Ming sighed, “It seems we were shortsighted…”
“It’s not your fault; your sensing abilities are not as strong as mine in this regard.” Patriarch Ji smiled. “Now you understand why I decided this way?”
“We understand now. Given that we sensed our ancestors’ presence, should we investigate further?” Elder Ji Yue and the others were eager. If they could obtain the primal power of their ancestors, they would surely advance to new heights.
“Absolutely not!” Patriarch Ji sternly said. “We must respect the owner’s wishes here. Once we achieve some progress, we can discuss it with Yi Tianyun. We should learn to respect and repay before asking for more. Our ancestors must have left their power here for a reason.”
They nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, they should respect Yi Tianyun’s wishes and not act rashly. It would be bad if Yi Tianyun found out and became displeased.
“So, we must proceed slowly, no need to rush. There are still many things we need to do here, especially helping so many descendants awaken their bloodlines.”
Everything was settled, and Yi Tianyun didn’t need to eavesdrop to know they wouldn’t cause trouble. Each of them had loyalty and favorability scores above seventy or eighty, so there was no risk of any issue. He also guessed that Patriarch Ji’s response had to do with the Three Realms.
He had always suspected the Three Realms might have been created by the Divine Spirit Race’s ancestors. As for why they did it, he wasn’t sure. In any case, Patriarch Ji must have sensed something, and he had no fear of being detected. Even if they knew, what could they do? Could they take away the Three Realms? Moreover, he was the master here, and no one could take the Three Realms away!
After spending some intimate time with Shi Xueyun and Yi Sixue, Yi Tianyun used the Teleportation God Stone to return to the Evil Spirit Race’s territory in the mortal realm. It was time to complete the main quest by thoroughly clearing out the Evil Spirit Race.
Upon returning, he immediately sensed Yue Ming’s location and quickly flew over. He found Yue Ming leading a group of strong individuals, hiding on a planet to rest and prepare for the next major offensive.
“Yue Ming.” Yi Tianyun’s figure flashed and appeared beside Yue Ming.
“Master!” Yue Ming stood up immediately upon sensing Yi Tianyun’s presence, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.
Seeing her radiant expression, it was clear that these battles had not exhausted her but rather invigorated her. After all, this was her goal, and every victory brought her immense excitement.
