## Chapter 2237 — A Peaceful Morning
Morning arrived quietly.
The first rays of sunlight spread across the ancient mountains surrounding the Qingyun Sword Sect.
A faint golden glow covered the enormous sect.
Immortal mist drifted between the mountain peaks.
Ancient Immortal trees swayed gently in the morning breeze.
The Qingyun Sword Sect was peaceful as usual.
Upon the enormous sect arena—
countless disciples had already begun their morning training.
Some practiced sword techniques.
Some meditated.
Others sparred against one another.
Sword lights occasionally flashed across the arena.
"Again!"
A disciple shouted.
Two young cultivators immediately clashed.
Their swords collided.
Clang!
The sound echoed across the arena.
The atmosphere was full of youthful energy.
Meanwhile—
inside his private courtyard—
Yang Lin slowly opened his eyes.
He had cultivated throughout the night.
His cultivation had already stabilized after reaching Heaven Immortal Seventh Stage Peak.
He calmly stood from his bed.
His black hair fell naturally over his shoulders.
He walked outside his room.
Then—
he left his residence.
As soon as Yang Lin stepped outside his courtyard—
he noticed someone standing nearby.
Lan Bailian.
She was quietly waiting.
She wore an elegant immortal robe.
Her long hair rested gently over her shoulders.
Her beautiful eyes occasionally glanced toward Yang Lin's courtyard.
The moment she saw him—
her expression brightened.
Yang Lin calmly walked toward her.
"You are here this early?"
Lan Bailian's expression immediately became slightly shy.
A faint blush appeared upon her cheeks.
She lowered her gaze.
"Not really..."
"I just came moments ago."
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
He didn't expose her.
Instead—
he nodded.
"Well."
"Let's go."
"I'll create my own food."
Lan Bailian's beautiful eyes immediately brightened.
A gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Let's go, then."
The two began walking through the peaceful sect.
The morning sunlight illuminated their figures.
Neither spoke for some time.
The atmosphere was calm.
Yet Lan Bailian's cheeks still carried a faint blush.
She was looking forward to seeing what Yang Lin meant by his own food.

He did not release any energy.
There was no formation.
No spatial fluctuation.

Instead—
everyone became more relaxed.
Spiritual wine was poured into the cups.
Everyone continued eating.
Zhen Yi occasionally asked Yang Lin about his plans.

## Chapter 2245 — Night Before the Journey
Night had arrived again.
The Qingyun Sword Sect was peaceful.
The disciples had finished their daily training.
The sect arena had become quiet.
Only faint sword cries occasionally came from distant cultivation peaks.
Yang Lin stood outside his private residence.
The moon hung high above the heavens.
Zhi Nan soon approached.
She stood beside him.
For several moments—
neither spoke.
Then Zhi Nan quietly asked,
"Are you looking forward to tomorrow?"
Yang Lin calmly shook his head.
"Not particularly."
Zhi Nan smiled.
"You're always so calm."
Yang Lin looked toward the distant mountains.
"I've seen many places."
"But..."
"Seeing the outside world is still worthwhile."
Zhi Nan nodded.
"Wherever you go..."
"I'll follow."
Yang Lin looked toward her.
"Alright."
Meanwhile—
Few meters away—
Lan Bailian stood outside her courtyard.
She looked toward Yang Lin and Zhi Nan.
Her expression was quiet.
Only a faint complicated feeling.
She knew Yang Lin was leaving.

Everyone smiled.
"See you again."
Yang Lin turned back.
Zhi Nan followed beside him.
The two continued forward.
Their figures gradually moved farther away.
The Qingyun Sword Sect slowly became smaller behind them.
Yang Lin's gaze remained calm.
The endless world stretched before him.
Zhi Nan looked toward him.
"Where shall we go first?"
Yang Lin looked toward the distant horizon.
After a moment—
he calmly answered,
"Let's see."
"Wherever the road leads..."
"We'll go there."
The morning sunlight illuminated the two figures.
Behind them—
the Qingyun Sword Sect remained peaceful.
Ahead—
