817: Chapter 217 Layer_2 817: Chapter 217 Layer_2 Three days had passed, and whispers had begun to circulate.
However, Su He had already sealed his senses, deaf to the world.
Even if he could hear, he wouldn’t care, for he was vigorously breaking through the last two stages.
Where did he have time to mind other people?
Meanwhile, outside the Baiyun Palace, two figures, one tall and one small, approached.
Ya Ya hopped alongside Ji Feixue, constantly asking questions without pause.
“Big sister, big sister.
Is that pillar of light what you called the Fairy Ascension Platform?
If one climbed up following the light, could they really not reach the legendary Fairy Realm?” Ya Ya asked as she looked at the pillar of light from the Fairy Ascension Platform in the direction of the Baiyun Palace.
Ji Feixue, rather than showing impatience, smiled warmly and said, “No one can reach it, and the fairy realm in the legends isn’t all that great—just a bunch of broken houses and shattered planets.”
This world had no Fairy Realm.
If legends were to be believed, then the current Star Sea was what was referred to as the Fairy Realm.
The Heavenly Court was in the Star Sea!
To others, the Heavenly Court was mythical, but Black-clothed Ji Feixue, having cultivated in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of thousands of years, knew it well.
But survival was as hard as reaching heaven for ordinary living creatures there, not to mention trying to absorb Spiritual Energy for cultivation.
The Spiritual Qi of the Star Sea was toxic.
“What is at the top of that pillar of light?” Ya Ya asked, blinking her big eyes.
Light seemed mysterious in the eyes of mortals, but it was less so for cultivators.
Climbing up following the light might be feasible, right?
Ji Feixue laughed and said, “Your father said it’s an old willow tree.”
Not everyone could climb the pillar of light of the Fairy Ascension Platform.
Ya Ya tilted her head, not quite understanding.
But her eyes suddenly brightened as she looked towards the Fairy Ascension Platform, “Dad!
It’s Dad!”
She excitedly pointed at Su He on the second level of the Fairy Ascension Platform.
“Yes, yes!” Ji Feixue softly laughed.
Leading Ya Ya into the Baiyun Palace, they looked towards Su He.
The Little Master was really something.
Calculating the time, the Fairy Ascension Platform had just been opened for a year, and he was already on the second level.
When she first entered the Fairy Ascension Platform, it had taken her a year and a half to reach the second level.
And looking at the Little Master’s momentum, was he about to ascend to the first level?
She had spent a whole seven years on the second level before reaching the first.
Had the Little Master cheated again?
Speaking of talent, without cheating, the Little Master actually shouldn’t compare with her.
It was normal for him to reach the second level on his first attempt at the Fairy Ascension Platform, but reaching the first level should have taken him until the second attempt.
Ji Feixue, holding Ya Ya’s hand, stepped into the Baiyun Palace and in a flash, they were inside the Fairy Ascension Platform.
Their appearance immediately drew everyone’s attention away from Su He.
“Fairy Ji!”
“Princess Chang!”
Voice after voice rose, to which Ji Feixue responded with a gentle smile.
Unlike others, her presence landed directly on the second level.
Below the mountain, a white cloud floated up and made its way upward, positioning itself directly beneath Ji Feixue’s feet.
This dragon didn’t have to ascend from the seventh layer step by step like others!
Her arrival on the second level was solely because of Su He’s presence there.
Otherwise, she would have gone directly to the first level.
Holding a Five-times Quality Mystery Yellow Order and having her own dojo, she had special privileges in the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven.
Ya Ya’s eyes widened as she let out a cry, and Ji Feixue raised a finger to her lips, “Shush!
Little one, wait until you reach the Opening Two-fold Heaven before you try the Fairy Ascension Platform on your own.
Consider this a learning visit.”
Standing on Ji Feixue’s cloud, Ya Ya couldn’t feel the Gang Wind in the Fairy Ascension Platform, nor could she draw any Yuan Qi.
If she were to cultivate, the Spiritual Power she absorbed would still be omnipresent.
Ya Ya, not understanding, nodded in agreement.
Su He, already having blocked out external perceptions, as if sensing something, suddenly opened his eyes.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw Ji Feixue in a red dress standing before him.
Ji Feixue was looking at him with a smile, her red dress pure without a speck of other colors.
A burst of delight rose in Su He’s eyes.
“Big sister!”
“Tsk!” Ji Feixue spat at him, a typical case of ‘calling wife when in need and big sister when not’.
Yet, looking at Su He’s expression, it was different from before.
The occasional confusion had lessened, there was more affection, some remorse, a bit of guilt, and ninety percent shamelessness.
The trip to Ancient Times allowed him to infer many things, and clearly, Su He had changed.
“You are late!” Su He chuckled.
“Indeed!
Next time if I’m later, Little Master, remember to come and pick me up,” Ji Feixue giggled.
“Certainly!” Su He laughed gleefully.
Beside them, Ya Ya pouted, eyeing the two, quite upset—especially the look she cast on Su He, now carrying a dangerous air.
Su He felt as though two beams of knifelights were chopping at him, almost shaving off his Turtle Shell.
That gaze seemed all too knowledgeable about the Dragon Turtle, having already planned from which Scale to start plucking.
Su He: “…”
“Whose little fairy is this!
Such intense killing intent!
Such a cute little fairy, who has upset her?” Su He chuckled mischievously.
But then, Ya Ya placed her hands behind her back, an air of superiority emanating from her, her eyes calm like water, her voice steady, “Father!”
Su He was suddenly startled, the call ‘Father’ sounding far too mature, leaving him at a loss.
It was as if in the blink of an eye, the girl, formerly with her hair half up, had suddenly… grown up!
Skipping all the intermediate processes—no joy under the knees, no mischief, no growth…
Coming back to his senses, Su He saw Ya Ya snort and then clatter and bounce her way towards the first layer.
She, not having to gather clouds or endure the Gang Wind, went wherever she wanted.
A sly glint flashed in Ya Ya’s eyes, letting that naughty father ignore her again.
