Upon hearing these words, Zhao Qing'Er's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her expression became incredibly serious.

Although she was the personal disciple of her master, she had grown up listening to legends about her master. Everyone in the Immortal Domain thought her master was mysterious, and the truth was, even she herself didn't know much about her master.

It was as if there was always a layer of mystery shrouding her master; you never knew where she stood, how high, or how far...

....

"Actually, I am not from the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, never was, and never will be."

Jin Yao muttered.

In truth, what she said wasn't wrong, because her goal was to conquer the Ten Thousand Realms for her master. This Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm was merely a waypoint on the path of conquest, just a part of the journey, and there were more powerful worlds and challenges awaiting them in the future...

Once the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm was completely conquered in the future, she would also leave to venture into other more powerful Immortal Domains, or even to the higher Divine Realm Divine Domain and some special formidable Holy Domains to strategize.

....

Zhao Qing'Er didn't quite understand this sentence.

"I can't tell you much about other things."

"All you need to know is that our opponent isn't the Ten Great Immortal Sects, or anyone else, but the entire Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, and that is enough."

"What you need to do is strive to become the Sword Venerable revered by everyone in the Immortal Domain, reaching the pinnacle of the Sword Dao. By then... I will tell you more, and also take you to see a broader world."

Jin Yao spoke to Zhao Qing'Er word by word.

After hearing this, Zhao Qing'Er was stunned for a long time before she snapped out of it.

"Alright, since you've decided to go, I will send you off."

With a wave of Jin Yao's jade hand, a space rift appeared before them, "Step inside, and you'll reach the Forbidden Area."

At this moment, Zhao Qing'Er's beautiful eyes widened, once again realizing the terrifying power of her master.

It should be known that the Canggu Sword Pool Forbidden Area was located on the edge of the Far North, a journey so far that it would take her a full year to reach at full speed.

Even using the Space Transmission Array would require passing through ten Array Relay Points, taking at least three months to arrive.

Yet her master, with a mere wave, had constructed a spatial passage leading straight to the edge of the Far North!

Zhao Qing'Er tightened her grip on her sword, stepped into the space rift without any hesitation, and as Jin Yao's thoughts moved, the void resumed its tranquility.

.....

After Zhao Qing'Er left, Jin Yao gazed into the serene void and let out a gentle sigh.

Zhao Qing'Er was also an important piece in her strategy, hoping to nurture her into the number one in the Sword Dao of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm within ten thousand years, for sword cultivators have very pure beliefs.

Once Zhao Qing'Er became the faith of sword cultivators, in ten thousand years, when attacking the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, a call to arms from Zhao Qing'Er could rally countless sword cultivators, which would be a force not to be underestimated.

However, in just ten thousand years, it might be difficult, for the current number one in the Sword Dao of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm is the Elder Sword God of the Desolate Heaven Sect.

Zhao Qing'Er is likely to surpass him in the future, but Jin Yao doesn't have enough time for her to grow.

Because, in no more than ten thousand years, Big Brother and Third Brother will lead the cultivator army of the Great Woe Immortal Realm to press the borders.

However, as long as she grows into the second in the Sword Dao, that would be enough to play a role in the war.

...

In the eyes of countless people in the Immortal Domain, Jin Yao was like an unattainable Ice Lotus.

But actually, in front of her master, Jin Yao remained that adoring worshipper with eyes filled with admiration. She was very grateful that her master saved her, rescued her from the humble turbulence of the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm. Without her master, she would have perished in the calamity of Ascension long ago.

In front of her disciples, she always appeared so cold and detached, serene and composed, strategizing with ease.

In truth, she was also very worried, afraid that she couldn't keep up with her master's pace and couldn't help her master.

Among her siblings, only Fifth Brother was slightly weaker than her; Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother were all stronger, so she also strived to keep up with Big Brother and Third Brother.

Back when her "Yaoxin Palace" was besieged by one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, it was also Third Brother who intervened in the dark, annihilating that Immortal Sect overnight.

This bought time for "Yaoxin Palace" to develop peacefully, and until now, it still held deterrent power, so that other Immortal Sects dared not act against "Yaoxin Palace."

She could strategize in peace.

...

Over the years, Jin Yao had also planted many pieces within the Ten Great Immortal Sects with the aim to monitor their every move and send information back.

Jin Yao collected this intelligence, noting any unknown grudges between certain Immortal Sects, and once "Yaoxin Palace" advanced to become one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, becoming the "Yaoxin Immortal Sect,"

She would use this intelligence to escalate the grudges among the Ten Great Immortal Sects, sparking a war in the Immortal Domain.

But surprisingly to Jin Yao, some disciples are really too promising; a few have already become highly anticipated Saintess successors within the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

If this continues, wouldn't it be—"Boss, if you don't rein them in soon, they are going to elect me as the boss!"

Of course, for Jin Yao, this was a good thing.

The greater the influence and higher the position of her disciples within the Ten Great Immortal Sects, the more pronounced the effects of their plans would become, possibly achieving unexpected results.

Rumors in the outside world claimed that her fortune was very good.

In fact, Jin Yao sometimes thought that her luck indeed seemed not bad; for example, she took in "Qing'Er" because she felt sorry for her, only to discover her incredible talent and potential.

...

"Master, all the intelligence is on this scroll."

At this moment, a tall woman of exceptional beauty and presence, dressed in a purple gown, handed a scroll to Jin Yao.

Seeing this, Jin Yao accepted the scroll, then asked the woman in the purple gown, "How are things at the Phoenix Feather Immortal Sect?"

This woman, Yue Ling, was a secret disciple Jin Yao took in five hundred years ago, and a pawn inserted into the Phoenix Feather Immortal Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

"Master... it seems they are considering nominating me as the Saintess successor..."

Yue Ling was a bit surprised herself.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yao wasn't too surprised; this was the third time, the third to be nominated as a Saintess successor.

"If they elect you, then you should strive for it."

"I will also assist you in the dark to ascend to the position of Saintess."

Jin Yao naturally would use the hidden forces of "Yaoxin Palace" to help her ascend to the position of Saintess.

"Alright!"

"I will give it my all."

Yue Ling nodded heavily.

....

At this moment, Jin Yao sensed a spirit summon, revealing a faint smile on her face.

When Jin Yao smiled, the elegance of this world paled in comparison, leaving Yue Ling spellbound....

It turns out, Master could smile too.

She saw Master smile like this for the first time... like... a very happy... girl's smile?

"Alright, you may leave now, Master has some matters to attend to."

With that, Jin Yao turned into a stream of light, shooting into the void above.
