Time Travel
Mu Yu had full reign over World Manifestation Nebula once he cast Appose Horizon Formation. He cast a formation on himself and Gui Ximing, who made no attempt to mask his distrust, allowing him to cast aside the mist inside World Manifestation Nebula to enter the starry sky. There wasn’t just one nebula in sight but innumerous nebulas orbiting. Underneath their feet was a rainbow mist, stars drifting along it.
Gui Ximing decided to take the lead, grabbing a cluster of stars. The stars expanded into small balls, each ball being a different, connected, yet independent, world based on the vision it displayed.
“Which year do you want to go to?”
Gui Ximing wagged his hand, dismissing the stars, resulting in streaks of light staying behind Mu Yu. He ventured forward, stopping to check each world for the next half an hour. He stopped once again. Howbeit, he glanced over his shoulder to Mu Yu this time before he poked the small ball. Once it expanded, he immediately jumped in, Mu Yu following closely behind.
Travelling to the past felt akin to crossing through a tunnel where oxygen was scarce. Spiritual energy activity was restricted, meaning they had to deal with the sensation of travelling so fast that it could be compared to being torn asunder. A light flitted across as they reached their destination, dropping them down.

“Yan, I still haven’t seen the gentleman of your dreams,” teased a long-haired maiden, cheerfully splashing water.
“Senior Sister Piaomiao, Yan can’t take her mind off her lover for even a second. When we were at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden, she ditched us to cling to him,” adorable Xiu’er added, sinking neck deep into the water.
“Junior Sister Xiu’er, I only met him at Celestial Beauty Parlour. We’re just friends,” sulked the girl Piaomiao and Xiu’er teased, swimming over to Xiu’er and stopping with the bottom half of her torso still underwater.
“Is Celestial Beauty Parlour your code for ‘paying my lover a visit’? By the way, your radiant skin keeps getting better, Senior Sister Yan. Those two mounds of yours seem to also be larger than last time.”
Yan flicked the water, barring Xiu’er from touching her globes.
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I should’ve known better than to touch before your lover gets to touch them,” teased Xiu’er, poking her way through the water barrier to forge forward.
Yan covered her assets, dimpling. “You missing your bland what’s his name from Sword Purifying Valley?”
“What’s wrong if I am?”
Hearing a faint cry from above, the three maidens stopped their water fight to turn their attention above them.
Sliding down to a vortex, Mu Yu cried, “Please don’t dump me in a latrine!”
Splash! Mu Yu cared naught for where he was and borrowed some spiritual energy he could finally access again to rise to the surface. “Puah! Thank heavens I didn’t land in a latrine.”
“What a coincidence. I had no idea you were there,” Mu Yu tried, noticing three pairs of aggressive eyes on him. “Uh… Haha, did I do something wrong?”
“No, you didn’t. They’re so pretty. Good job, Mu Yu,” dismissively responded Xiaoshuai, smiling as if he was mentally demented
Yan and Xiu’er shrilled as they dipped back in neck deep. “What is a man doing here?!”
Piaomiao donned a robe of water and bound back onto land to drape on a thin piece of fabric. “The penalty for trespassing into Secular World Sect’s holy maiden pool is death!”
“Eh? Secular World Sect? Holy maiden pool? Secular World Lotus Style? I’m at Secular World Sect?”
Mu Yu jumped out of the water, dried himself and then jumped up a willow tree upon seeing the pink lotuses spawned. “I was just passing by. I won’t keep you. Bye.”
Where’s Gui Ximing? Mu Yu wondered.
“You won’t get away for peeping and trespassing!” declared Piaomiao, extending her thin fabric to pull her two juniors out of the water.
“Wow, Mu Yu, she resembles Tian Ran, especially those pillows. I need a hug,” noted Xiaoshuai, from Mu Yu’s head.
Tian Ran? Oh, you’re right. Wait, is she Miao Yuyan?! Dad is going to kill me if he finds out I saw her nude! As the three Spirit Severing Realm cultivators charged forwards together, Mu Yu asserted, “Wait! Wait! This is all a misunderstanding. I am a virtuous youth! Even my shifu praises me for being innocent and kind.”
“Shameless!”
“Lecher!”
“Despicable!”
Aware that he was not going to get through to them before their petals turned him into a pin cushion, Mu Yu dashed into the woods. If that was not bad enough, he saw a red lotus burst in the firmament, alerting everyone else.
“What’s the matter?”
Piaomiao turned to the Ascension Realm cultivator who appeared where they were and saluted her. “Elder Ruo Shu, a man trespassed into Holy Maiden Pool. Xiu’er and Yan are going after him.”
“Instruct all disciples to find him!” ordered Elder Ruo Shu, dispersing her qi to locate Mu Yu.
“I’m innocent, for crying out loud!”
Xiaoshuai turned to face the rear and commented, “Those are apples. Those are lychees. Oh, the one closest has watermelons!”
The dragon vine woke up because of Xiaoshuai’s evaluations.
“Rodent, which fruit is Miao Yuyan?”
“I’d say… pears.”
“Get out of here. Those are coconuts,” disputed Mu Yu. “Hey, can you two stop with your discussion and start searching for an escape route?! We’re supposed to be young, upright young gentlemen chasing their dreams and upholding justice. Stop contaminating your minds.”
“Tian Ran is apples, huh?” asked the dragon vine.
“Coconuts!” Mu Yu blurted.
“Hahahahaha!” Both the dragon vine and Xiaoshuai were rolling on their backs.
