Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Great, the Yellow Immortal finally pulled back from the brink!"

"Yes, this catastrophe has finally been overcome."

"Nowadays, it's not the young people who can't handle the pressure that worries me, but the elders making things worse. They work tirelessly for the world, yet come home to criticism, told that their work is not respectable and they have no future. Honestly, as long as it's not illegal or unethical, earning that hard-earned money is already a feat!"

"That's why many originally harmonious big families end up fragmented, because of those uneducated old men interfering, leading to broken families and ruined homes. With so many ruined, the Human Clan's Ten Thousand Veins can't be stable..."

"Exactly, thank goodness the Yellow Immortal hasn't completely lost his mind or turned to evil. Otherwise, our harmonious Infinite City would be plunged into chaos again. With Fairy Gong Qin's strength, mishandling the situation would equate to Heaven sending a calamity, dragging all the Human Clan down with the crazy Immortals, without even uniting to repair heaven's defects before self-destructing internally!"

After the integration of the Human Clan's Ten Thousand Veins in Infinite City, various thoughts continually intertwined. Most people hope for stability and take this opportunity to learn, while only a few desire to seize hegemony, to dominate the Immortals and Humans. Fundamentally, representing Immortals of the major human tribes, it indeed aligns with Wu Hen's previous analysis — they are capitalist Immortals, provoking war once their interests are threatened rather than self-reflecting.

The Gods and Immortals quickly retreated.

Upon realizing that the one turning evil was Fairy Gong Qin, everyone distanced themselves considerably.

If it had been a younger member of the Immortal Lineage, like the Green Immortal, the Gods would've stepped forward to help suppress the Heart Demon. In a minor ten-year Immortal Tribulation, many Gods could still lend a hand, gaining some fame and prestige in the process.

But for Fairy Gong Qin's century tribulation, the Human Clan's Gods dared not approach. The large and small Loose Immortals, Mortal Immortals, and True Immortals were utterly helpless, akin to interns facing a conglomerate's billion-dollar loss responsibility. What are they to dare obliterate an Evil Sword Fairy at the Half-step Golden Immortal level?

In truth, it would be simpler for them to unitedly deal with the Yellow Immortal than to kill the Evil Sword Fairy.

It was precisely due to this fundamental logic that, when Wu Hen spoke up for Fairy Gong Qin, everyone recognized it.

Whoever raises a problem, resolve the person who raised it, and the problem is settled.

The one who raised the problem was the Yellow Immortal; once resolved, the world quieted down...

In short, a tempest of blood was finally dispelled under the extreme wisdom of the Black Immortal.

Everyone returned to their homes, continuing their lives. Gathering in Infinite City is rare, and everyone hoped to take back some advanced evolution techniques to their homelands, especially this rare gathering of the Human Clan in friendly exchanges.

Meanwhile, in the bamboo grove, Social Phobia Immortal Bai Yue was tactfully climbing one bamboo stalk at a time, tearing down the talisman papers.

"Honestly, if you stick these papers in anyone's bamboo grove, it would provoke their rage. It's terribly unlucky." Wu Hen helped the Social Phobia Immortal remove the talisman papers as well.

Without those papers, the bamboo grove suddenly cleared up, sunlight streaming through delicately, the breeze carrying a faint scent of bamboo leaves. The aroma wafted into the humble abode, and Fairy Gong Qin, no longer a shadow absorbing light, inhaled with enjoyment.

"I'll fetch some tea leaves." Bai Yue, sensing the atmosphere had completely relaxed, rushed to his Immortal Cave, realizing this wonderful scent could calm an Immortal's emotions.

Wu Hen also went over, supporting Fairy Gong Qin to sit in the cool, comfortable bamboo grove.

"It's alright now, everything is fine. Just like when you often stayed in the cowshed, the Ancient Clan's methods are effective for you. Just place you somewhere quiet to sort things out, and everything will be fine," Wu Hen said to Fairy Gong Qin.

In the Scroll Realm, the Ancient Clan's mindset was indeed open-minded.

When Fairy Gong Qin's Heart Demon arose, she would draw her sword to challenge the village's best, affirming herself as the universe's strongest Sword Immortal, unmatched. With this mindset, she indeed seemed like a different person.

But this was no big deal; in today's high-pressure Otherworldly Dust, who doesn't have a bit of multiple personality disorder, depression, mood swings, or delusions? These are just our real selves being unable to find release. At this time, fewer words, more compassion, and even teenagers would self-heal.

"Actually, I know what I am..." Fairy Gong Qin said dimly.

"What you are is decided by you. Even if today you are called the Evil Sword Fairy by the world, it's not your disgrace; it's the path to becoming the Jade Sword Fairy," Wu Hen replied.

"No one has ever told me that before, thank you." Fairy Gong Qin felt a touch of humanity's warmth, grateful that in the dreamlike Scroll Realm, she met a genuine friend.

By now, Bai Yue had returned, bringing tea leaves grown on his mountain.

These tea leaves require ten years before they can be harvested, even among the Immortal Circle, they are rare Immortal Artifacts.

As Bai Yue arrived, he overheard Wu Hen's words, visibly surprised and admiringly said, "No wonder you're the Black Immortal, such insight is not easily attained!"

"Actually, it's nothing much. You Immortals aren't online, but if you often interact online with the wise, innocent netizens, you'd resolve all those Immortal ailments," Wu Hen smiled.

"Hehe, I... I just don't like large crowds," Bai Yue said.

"Having multiple personalities might be okay, but social phobia is incurable," Wu Hen considered Fairy Gong Qin's issues minor, while Bai Yue's social phobia... truly a perplexing ailment.

It's hard to treat and unnecessary to treat.

Hearing this, Fairy Gong Qin couldn't help but glance at Senior Brother Bai Yue, then laughed.

Bai Yue was a peerless talent no less than hers in the Immortal Lineage. His power matched hers; through Wu Hen's playful comment, Fairy Gong Qin suddenly realized her issues might indeed be like Senior Brother Bai Yue's social phobia in essence. While his problem posed no harm to other Immortals, her mental issues carried some risks affecting others.

"How do you get online, teach me, I don't dislike communication; I'm just comfortable speaking through screens," Social Phobia Immortal suggested.

"It's easy, Da Xuan is teaching us to build the Desert Dust Internet. Just plant a Base Station Tree in your backyard, full signal, zero lag, fast downloads!"

"Sounds great." Bai Yue smiled, eagerly pouring tea for Wu Hen.

"Is Bai Yue a Talisman Immortal?" Wu Hen asked.

"Yes."

"Then could you also share your Talisman Immortal secrets with my clan? Sword Immortal is too high a threshold, but with Talisman Immortal, everyone can learn a bit," Wu Hen said.

"Sure, find a representative, and I'll set up a Talisman Immortal Dojo in your place."

"Once your Base Station Tree is set, you can livestream the teachings. We'll create a virtual avatar for you, so there's no need to show your face; you can teach Talisman Immortal just the same."

"Is that really possible?? My biggest gripe is not accepting disciples. Teaching an unfamiliar person face-to-face makes me uncomfortable. If your method works, I wouldn't mind personally teaching... it's something to do in my free time," Bai Yue said.

Seeing Bai Yue agree so readily, Wu Hen was delighted, raising his teacup. Inadvertently securing a substantial investment for his homeland, as Bai Yue gradually assimilates into his homeland, wouldn't this Social Phobia Immortal also join the new Star Mark Plan?
