【“The Ten Thousand Races’ Calamity” is still incredibly useful.】
【One entry is equivalent to ten entries, and it even comes with a transformation function.】
【As expected of a Prismatical Mythic entry.】
【It’s just that it has stopped growing for now, which is giving you a bit of a headache.】
【But since the entry says its effects will improve as your cultivation grows, you’re certain it hasn’t reached its limit so soon. There must be something else you’re missing.】
【Not long afterward, you arrived at the meeting point you had deduced—a ferry crossing called Shepherd’s Ford.】
【There was a fishing village nearby, inhabited entirely by members of the human race. You rented an old house in the village and settled there temporarily.】
【After autumn arrived, you wandered around the ferry crossing every night around midnight, checking to see whether anyone was waiting there for someone.】
【For more than two months straight, you didn’t see a single soul.】
【“Did I analyze the poem incorrectly?”】
【You couldn’t help beginning to doubt yourself.】
【Then, one night, you saw a graceful figure appear by the banks of the ferry crossing.】
【She held a purple sword in her hand. Her waterfall-like black hair hung all the way down to her heels, while her purple dress outlined her exquisite figure.】
【“Isn’t that…”】
【Ji Wuqing!】
【That’s right!】
【It was her!】
【You had seen her twice in your simulations, so her appearance was deeply etched into your memory.】
【You concealed your aura and began observing her, wanting to determine whether she was waiting for someone or merely passing through.】
【You tried to sense her aura and ascertain her cultivation, only to discover that you couldn’t sense anything at all.】
【Ji Wuqing was naturally no ordinary person. She possessed the formidable power to travel between the Void Realm and the Material Realm, and her cultivation was unfathomably deep.】
【Your inability to detect her cultivation could only mean that it was far too high, or that her concealment technique was too powerful for your aura-sensing ability to have any effect.】
【“I wonder which of our families those giant apes will choose to send to the Void Realm this time. It would be great if they chose the Ji family. Then I could have Father arrange for me to go! The Void Realm… How interesting!”】
【Ji Wuqing was talking to herself.】
【“The Void Realm? Right. Ji Wuqing appeared in the human realm when I was eighty-nine. Does that mean she hasn’t gone yet?”】
【You were exactly eighty-nine years old this year.】
【In other words, according to the original timeline, Ji Wuqing would be heading to the Void Realm sometime during the rest of this year?】
【You wondered whether she could bring someone along on this trip.】
【After running all over the Material Realm for so many years, you were beginning to miss home.】
【While you were lost in thought, you suddenly caught a faint fragrance.】
【“That smells wonderful. What is it?”】
【You turned your head and saw Ji Wuqing smiling playfully at you.】
【“Good grief!”】
【You jumped in fright, having no idea when she had appeared behind you.】
【“Caught red-handed, are you? Speak! Why were you skulking around and staring at me? What are you plotting?”】
【You took several steps back and cupped your fists in greeting.】
【“I’m merely waiting for someone here. I have no designs on you, miss.”】
【Ji Wuqing stood with her sword in her arms as the evening breeze blew her long hair about, making her look like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world.】
【“No designs on me? What a pity. You’re so handsome, and your cultivation is decent enough. If you had even a little interest in me, I could finally get married!”】
【“Uh…”】
【You hadn’t expected that the aloof, mysterious woman you had encountered in the human realm would turn out to have such a personality when you met her again in the Material Realm.】
【“What? I’m the Head of the Ji family’s eldest daughter. Am I not good enough for you?”】
【“Er… I already have someone I love.”】
【“That’s fine. Let her be a concubine. Men having three wives and four concubines is perfectly normal. I understand!”】
【“You should stop joking around, miss.”】
【Ji Wuqing was anything but heartless. Seeing that her teasing had left you speechless, she threw her head back and laughed heartily.】
【“All right, all right. Let’s get serious. You said you’re waiting for someone, and so am I. Could you be the person I’m waiting for?”】
【If you had correctly deduced both the place and the time,】
【then your deduction regarding the contact’s name should be correct as well.】
【This woman was Ji Wuqing, while the person you were waiting for was called “Xiaoyue.” Clearly, she wasn’t the one.】
【“The person I’m waiting for is called ‘Xiaoyue.’ That isn’t your name, is it?”】
【“It is! My name is Ji Xiaoyue!”】
【“Aren’t you called Ji Wuqing?”】
【You were completely confused. You looked Ji Wuqing up and down, briefly wondering whether you had mistaken her for someone else. Could this woman really not be Ji Wuqing?】
【“You don’t understand, do you? My parents named me Ji Xiaoyue. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just listen to that name—how perfunctory! They probably got drunk one day and blurted out some lousy name on a whim. I had no choice when I was little, but once I grew up, I had to change it! I decided to call myself Ji Wuqing! Now that is a name that sounds imposing, aloof, and cool—a name fit for an expert!”】
【You turned the matter over in your mind, circulated your energy, and used the Quantum Ghoststep, instantly teleporting into the distance.】
【“If you really are waiting for someone, let’s meet here again at the same time three days from now!”】
【“Hey! Hey! Don’t go! I really am the person you’re waiting for! I still have a code phrase to give you!”】
【You paid no attention to whatever Ji Wuqing said afterward.】
【You needed to verify whether her words were true.】
【If she really had once gone by the name Ji Xiaoyue, there would certainly be people outside who had heard about it.】
【After all, the Ji family was a famous power.】
【When you had displayed your might on Blazing Light Star, even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fiend Sect had suspected that you were connected to either the Ji family or the Jiang family.】
【This showed that these two clans were among the human race’s true major powers on a cosmic scale.】
【As the Ji family’s eldest daughter, she could never have remained unknown in the local area.】
【You went to a nearby city and asked around for information about the Ji family’s eldest daughter.】
【Ji Wuqing really did have two names.】
【For a long time, she had gone by Ji Xiaoyue.】
【Later, after breaking through to the Heaven-Connecting Realm, she challenged renowned seniors across Purple Violet Star and made a great name for herself. From then on, she always introduced herself as Ji Wuqing rather than Ji Xiaoyue.】
【“It seems the person I’m supposed to meet really could be her…”】
【Three days later, you arrived at the ancient ferry crossing at midnight once again.】
【This time, Ji Wuqing stood aboard a boat, with quite a few highly cultivated cultivators inside.】
【When she saw you approaching, she stepped onto the shore and recited the code phrase in a playful tone.】
【“Handsome young man, what treasures do you have in your bag?”】
【You cupped your fists in greeting.】
【“Half a boat of moonlight, half a boat of gulls.”】
【Ji Wuqing’s expression turned serious. She straightened her body and looked directly at you.】
【“First Hall Master of the Zizixing General Altar of the Fireseed Society, Ji Wuqing!”】
【After saying this, she stared at you.】
【You knew that she was waiting for you to identify yourself.】
【The personnel networks of underground organizations were extremely meticulous.】
【There was no point in making anything up; she could verify it with a single inquiry. So you had to tell the truth.】
【“I’m not a member of the Fireseed Society.”】
【You immediately sensed killing intent in Ji Wuqing’s eyes.】
【“Then how did you learn the meeting information?”】
