Yu Yuan returned to Penglai many days later.

Nothing else.

Just for the sake of face.

After all, aside from Huo Ling'er and Wen Zhong, the others residing in the Penglai Holy Realm could likely see through the Daoist robe he had woven with mana.

One glance was enough!

Thus, after packing away the Star Fruit, he proceeded to refine a Daoist robe himself.

It was also fortunate that he had gained quite a bit in the Eastern Emperor Heaven earlier; even though most of it had been used to refine the Mixed Gold Hammer, the remainder was still enough for him to craft several Spiritual Treasures.

Perhaps it was due to familial heritage.

Yu Yuan indeed had some natural talent for artifact refining.

With generous use of materials, piling up various Divine Feathers and Immortal Gold, it took him just over half a month to craft a Daoist robe endowed with sixteen Acquired Restrictions.

As for the appearance of this robe...

It's unimportant!

Once worn, a mere thought would allow it to transform according to his will, not affecting the various functions of the Daoist robe.

With one Daoist robe, he could brave the world, changing it to whatever he wanted to wear.

When Yu Yuan returned to the Penglai Holy Realm, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother surprisingly did not come to scold him again.

Instead, she completely ignored his existence, even though she was at that moment in front of Shoujing Temple, imparting teachings and resolving confusions for Wen Zhong's cultivation, she disregarded Yu Yuan, who had actively moved forward to bow and offer his respects, treating him as if he was invisible and inaudible.

Even when Yu Yuan offered her the Star Fruit, it merely earned a cold response of "I don't fancy it," before she coldly went away driving the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car.

"Senior brother, I fancy it!"

Wen Zhong eagerly looked at the Star Fruit in Yu Yuan's hand.

Just a sniff made him feel as if he was already floating into immortality.

If he were to eat it, would he not directly ascend in broad daylight?

Yu Yuan placed a Liuli clean bottle containing the Star Fruit on a whitish cloud about a foot square, suspended dozens of feet high in the air, then patted Wen Zhong's head and said, "You fancy it slowly," then returned to his Tian Yuan Palace.

Wen Zhong: "..."

It's too high, unreachable!

He had just set foot on the path of cultivation and could not even climb clouds, let alone reach a bottle in the sky.

However, he did not complain, taking it as a test from Yu Yuan, trying various methods.

Using Wind Control Skill to blow, shooting it with a slingshot he made, even making a silk kite...

From day to night he struggled, and finally, he managed to shoot down the clean bottle with a slingshot.

But before the bottle even hit the ground, a ray of seven-colored radiant light had already caught the bottle, and at the same time, Golden Spirit Saint Mother's voice rang out in front of Shoujing Temple: "Your senior brother gifting you the Spirit Fruit isn't for immediate consumption. It is best to use it after you step onto the Immortal Path."

Wen Zhong felt as if a bucket of cold water had drenched him, yet he still respectfully bowed and said, "Thank you, master, for your guidance."

"Thank your senior brother."

The radiant seven-colored light left behind those words and then disappeared with the Liuli clean bottle.

Inside Tian Yuan Palace, Yu Yuan watched everything that unfolded in front of Shoujing Hall and breathed a small sigh of relief.

He knew that his "mad act of beckoning thunder" had irritated his master, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.

However, he did not defend his actions.

Possibly, the success of seizing the Chaos Bell led him to let down his guard. This act of beckoning thunder to refine his body was indeed too risky and aggressive, not fitting with his original strategy of laying low and waiting for the right opportunity.

When he saw the clouds condense into the face of an old Daoist, he truly felt deep awe from the depths of his heart.

What of an unrivaled physical body?

The Twelve Ancestor Witches were still dead, weren't they?

Everything that failed to kill him would only make him stronger!

But what if he is not killed?

These individuals with profound Dao Xing have numerous schemes and stratagems!

For example, sealing him in the ocean's abyss!

Or banishing him into the endless void!

Or trapping him in an illusion and so on…

In such cases, he can only endure loneliness by himself!

Then, let alone being a carefree Immortal, he wouldn't even be able to die if he wished.

However, the reverence that arose when facing "Cloudy Mist Old Daoist" that day didn't change Yu Yuan's mindset, instead, it spurred an even stronger desire within him.

Sainthood!

In a world like Primordial where the strong prey on the weak, becoming a carefree Immortal was the only way out for him!

…

After returning to Penglai Holy Realm, Yu Yuan's life seemed to return to its previous routine; daily baths, exercising, visiting the zoo, and such.

And then teasing Wen Zhong, his junior brother.

Unfortunately, Huo Ling'er, after consuming two Star Fruits, went into closed-door cultivation.

Even though the mana gained from the Star Fruit was very pure, it was still slightly inferior to the mana painstakingly refined by herself.

Therefore, she did not hesitate and immediately began closed-door cultivation, re-refining the mana she gained from the Star Fruits.

With this senior sister gone, Yu Yuan's life became completely peaceful.

After several attempts, he even reduced the "art creation" sessions.

Even the extraordinary peaks within the Penglai Holy Realm could no longer cause any harm to his physical body now.

He crafted a Leisure Chair from Phoenix Blood Wood and placed it beside the flower garden in front of Tian Yuan Palace, spending what used to be his "art creation" time now lying on the Leisure Chair.

Rocking and swaying there, carefree and unrestrained.

This journey through time and space brought him a lot of gains.

He not only obtained more than two hundred Star Fruits but also learned some rules about time-space travel.

One of the most important rules is that within the same time-space, everything possesses uniqueness.

Simply put, if he travels back to a moment ago, there will be two Yu Yuans at that time node, but one would be "illusory," unable to affect anything around him.

Of course, these are just his speculations.

They still need to be verified.

Unfortunately, Yu Yuan won't be able to verify them soon.

Because even for an Innate Treasure like the Chaos Bell, time-space travel is a Great Divine Power, and undoubtedly a huge consumption for the Chaos Bell in its damaged state!

Thus, after returning, Yu Yuan found that the Chaos Bell's innate spiritual energy was almost exhausted.

It is now slowly recovering by itself.

Relying on the Chaos Bell's own estimate, it will probably take at least ten to twenty years.

This is while staying in a Saint Realm like Penglai Island.

If it were elsewhere, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years.

In this situation, Yu Yuan doesn't have any good solutions for the time being.

He can only set aside his plans to explore the past for now, focusing on strengthening himself while also not forgetting to search for the whereabouts of other Chaos Bell Fragments.

Only when the Chaos Bell is complete can he truly perform time-space travel to the time nodes he wishes to visit.

Time flies swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

One day, Huo Ling'er emerged from her closed-door cultivation, bringing him a piece of good news.

The Heavenly Court will host a Peach Banquet, inviting Immortal Gods from the Three Realms to attend, and during the event, an Immortal God will present the "Chaos Bell Fragment" they have treasured to the Heavenly Emperor.
