"What about us?" Xi Meili suddenly asked, referring to herself and Liya, as they were both dragons. Kelan gave her a stiff smile. “To be honest, I'm not sure. I do have a few non-human friends I could reach out to, but I can't promise anything. Do you know of any place where you could train?" Xi Meili fell silent to ponder, and after a minute of silence, she said, "I do have a place in mind... but I'm not sure they'll be okay with it." Kelan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is this place?" “The Holy Dragon Clan. I trained with them for some time when I went there with Yuan, and I really enjoyed it. If it weren't for the Celestial Emperor, I would've stayed there to train a little longer." In truth, Xi Meili wanted to stay behind with the Holy Dragon Clan at the Dragon Spiral Mountain, but after what happened to them, she felt that it would be inappropriate for her to linger, so she ultimately decided to leave with Yuan. “The Holy Dragon Clan, huh? In that case, I think it would be for the best if you personally reached out to them." "Aren't they the ones at the Dragon Spiral Mountain?" Liya asked after recalling their name. Xi Meili nodded, "That's right. You saw them right after arriving in the Nine Heavens." Liya recalled the mountain of corpses she saw and asked, "Do you think I can come with you?" "Of course. It was already my intention to bring you along." Kelan spoke a moment later, "I'l contact the others immediately, but it might take some time for a response. You can do whatever in the meantime.” Once their meeting concluded, the members of the Demon Sealing Faction returned to their living quarters to rest. Many of them decided to log out of Cultivation Online to train their real bodies on Earth. After logging out, Meixiu left her room to visit Yu Rou and the Eternal Lotuses, who had risen to become the second-strongest faction on Earth. “It's been a while, Senior Sister Meixiu." As she passed through, the members of the Eternal Lotuses bowed their heads, greeting her with utmost respect. Although Meixiu wasn't officially part of their faction, she often visited to train them. The other members of the Demon Sealing Faction would also stop by from time to time, but with everyone following their own schedules, it had become rare for them all to gather together. "Are you here to train us today, or are you here for Senior Sister Yu Rou?" The members approached her and asked. “I'm here for Yu Rou today. I'l train with you all next week," she said. "Okay!" Melxiu arrived at their courtyard a few minutes later, where at the center stood a tall, beautiful woman instructing a group of younger girls. The woman had long, silky black hair and warm brown eyes. Her very presence radiated a natural grace that drew people to her. “Your posture is wrong. Move your hip a little to the right and straighten your back some more!" “Yes, Senior Sister Yu!" The woman was none other than Yu Rou. Meixiu didn't disturb their training and waited for them to be done. An hour later—"Okay, we will end our training here today. We'll continue next week at the same time. You are all dismissed." As the group of females dispersed, Yu Rou approached Meixiu with a calm smile, "It's been two years, Meixiu. How have you been?" “I just finished my journey and have returned to Kelan's sect for now. What about you?" “The same as usual. Training the newbies. Is it just your group that's returned?" “The others have returned as well. Everyone is safe and sound." “That's good to hear." Knowing that Yu Rou will ask about Yuan, Meixiu mentioned him first, "Unfortunately, Yuan is still away," she said. “Is that s0? Can't say I'm surprised,” Yu Rou replied with a bittersweet smile. “You shouldn't be too hard on him." “I would have been a little sad or lonely. I know he has a lot on his plate, but it's been nearly twenty years since I last saw his face. If you consider the other times he's been absent and how long we've been alive, it's about half of our lifetime." “I know how it feels, but trust me, it will get better." “I know. Anyway, what are you going to do now that you've returned?" “I'm going to rest a little before I continue my training at another place." Meixiu proceeded to tell Yu Rou about Kelan's plans for the Demon Sealing Faction. "So you guys will be doing your own things separately, huh? It makes sense, considering you all have your own talents and path.” Sometime later, another presence approached them. "Hello, Sister Lianhua." "Hey, Meixiu." Bai Lianhua returned the greeting. "Mind if I join?" "No, go ahead." Bai Lianhua sat down beside them, and the three of them started chatting. After Meixiu recalled the end of her training journey, Bai Lianhua spoke about the Eternal Lotuses and Earth's overall situation. Ever since Yuan opened the gateway between Earth and the Nine Heavens, flooding the world with spiritual energy, cultivators on Earth had advanced at a pace unlike anything before. Yet, no matter how far their cultivation rose, they soon discovered they could only wield the strength of a Spirit Grandmaster. This meant that even Spirit King cultivators on Earth were no stronger than a Spirit Grandmaster. Since Yuan secretly created the formation that limited everyone's cultivation, nobody but the Demon Sealing Faction knew the cause of this phenomenon. Thus, much like the phenomenon of Cultivation Online, no one questioned it, choosing instead to continue their lives as usual. However, Meixiu knew that things would not remain this way forever and that they needed another solution sooner or later. (More chapters in Buyers club for TMT)
