“That’s right, it’s her.”

Xiao Chen looked at the lotus flower outside the pavilion. In his mind, he remembered the Luo Die he saw that night before he entered the gap between the Immortal Dimensions.

“Everything that happened in the past has already passed away with the river. See you and I in the future. If there is a confrontation, Sovereign Lord Xiao doesn’t need to show mercy, and I won’t …”

Every word seemed to ring clearly in her ears. How could she … become like that?

The wind gently blew the lotus in the pond, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the water. “Looks like Xiao Meng’er is the most ruthless,” said Fairy Ruthless.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. It was because of the cultivation method she cultivated. When he first saw the fragment, he felt that the records in the fragment were truly evil. The ruthless Great Dao that was mentioned in the fragment was completely against common sense. It was thousands of times more evil than the Heavenly Book that he cultivated.

Later, when he came out of Peerless City to force out the Gu Poison for Luo Die, he accidentally saw a lot of tiny words on her back. Those words seemed to have been carved into her blood by someone using a secret art.

Now, he was completely certain that the words on her back were the other half of the Forgetful Mysterious Technique. In the entire world, she was probably the only one who possessed the complete Forgetful Mysterious Technique.

But who exactly did the words on her back? Looks like her background isn’t simple …

Xiao Meng’er said, “I heard that you knew her before, and … you went all alone to Beigong Clan, Wushuang City, to save her.”

“She is no longer the same as before.”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. For some reason, even he felt a chill when he recalled how the Up and Down Butterfly had become ruthless. What exactly was the Evil Scroll that she cultivated? It couldn’t be part of the Book of Heaven …

He could still recall that when Luo Die first went to Lustless Heaven, she smiled like a child, and when she left, she heard Yang Xiaoran say that her face was full of tears, and that she was crying like a child.

Perhaps the reason why she had become heartless now was partly because of him. If he had withdrawn his palm that day and not harmed her, perhaps … she would not have continued to cultivate the Evil Scroll.

However, how did she become the Master of the Heartless Dao, Heartless Child’s junior sister? This merciless Dao’s origins were especially mysterious, and no one could tell when it had appeared in the mortal world.

When Xiao Meng’er saw that he was deep in thought, she said, “Up until now, there hasn’t been any news about her. This is what you’re worried about.”

“That’s right.”

Xiao Chen nodded. It had been more than two years, but there wasn’t a single movement in Luo Die. It was as if she hadn’t come to Ancient Immortal Realm. But that day, she had clearly entered the Gap of the Immortal Dimension. How could she not have come to Ancient Immortal Realm?

And if she came to Ancient Immortal Realm, with her terrifying strength, how could there be no movement at all?

With her current decisiveness and ruthlessness, she was afraid that once someone provoked her in Ancient Immortal Realm, she would be annihilated, right?

But today, there was no news of her. This was what Xiao Chen was truly worried about.

From the beginning to the end, he did not know Luo Die’s purpose in coming to Ancient Immortal Realm. And now, Luo Die was no longer the Luo Die of the past. Even if the two of them met in the future, he would have to be cautious.

Xiao Meng’er said, “If you meet her in the future, you will have to be distracted.”

“I hope this day won’t be very soon …”

…

That night, there was no light on the stars or the moon. The north wind whistled, causing the trees outside to fall to the east and west. Xiao Chen sat alone in the hall, just like in the past, in the cold hall, he was the only one.

The candlelight in the hall kept shaking along with the cold wind blowing in from outside. Every night, he could feel traces of coldness coming from Di Gu Sword.

At this moment, he no longer thought about Luo Die, but the matter of Heaven beyond Heaven made him frown.

From the looks of it, many things had already been secretly pointed at the Heavens beyond Heaven. Even the Three Corpse Demon on his body, could it be that someone wanted to deal with Master and set up a shocking situation?

“The day the Three Corpse Demon takes shape is when the 33 Heavenly Tribulations descend. Under the 33 Heavenly Tribulations, your body and spirit will be destroyed and completely dissipated. Even reincarnation will not be able to enter. And your master, if she wants to protect you, she must deceive the heavens and the gods and buddhas …”

At this moment, in his mind, he remembered the words of the Great Empress on Mount Kunlun that day. Every word seemed to be clearly heard.

“Master …”

Xiao Chen held the Samsara Jade in his hand. There was a legend that the jade could protect the master. If one day, the jade on his body suddenly shattered, then he would definitely defend his master from a calamity.

And the Samsara Jade … There was nothing in this world that could destroy the Samsara Jade.

Master should have known of his own background long ago, right?

At this moment, he could not help but think of that year when he felt the icy coldness coming from the Samsara Jade. Sixteen years later, Master had only given this jade to him. She should be at the beginning, so let’s consider it his fate.

And that time, when she came to the Heavenless Palace to save her, she would rather risk the world’s condemnation to save her …

“Master …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a pain in his heart. It was as if he had returned to that cold rainy night. He called out Master’s name over and over again.

“Wu … big brother …”

Right at this moment, Xian’er suddenly walked in from outside. But looking at her barefoot and holding a puppet in her hand, Xiao Chen heard the sound and immediately regained his senses. He walked towards His Highness, “Xian’er, why are you here?”

“Wu … Xian’er can’t sleep, Xian’er has a nightmare …”

At this moment, Xian’er’s eyes were filled with tears. Just as she finished speaking, lightning flashed outside. Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, scaring her to the point that her entire body trembled. The puppet in her hand also fell to the ground.

“Xian’er, don’t be afraid. It’s just thunder and rain outside.”

Xiao Chen immediately hugged her, but she was so frightened that her entire body couldn’t stop trembling. She cried, “No, Xian’er is the most afraid of thunder, don’t thunder …”

“Boom!”

Another thunderous sound scared her to tears. She buried her head tightly in Xiao Chen’s chest and her tiny body trembled.

“Xian’er, don’t be afraid. It’s fine. I have big brother here …”

Xiao Chen comforted her gently. She couldn’t help but think that when she first came out of Penglai Fairyland that day, she was frightened as if she had fallen into a nightmare in the face of numerous lightning tribulations. From the looks of it, she was really afraid of thunder.

After a while, the rain stopped outside. Xiao Chen gently picked up the puppet that she had dropped on the ground and said softly, “Xian’er, I’ll take you back to your room. Don’t be afraid.”

“En …”

When she returned to her room, Xian’er was still trembling. She hugged him tightly and never let go of him. “Brother, don’t leave. Xian’er is scared by herself …”

“En, I’m not leaving …”

Xiao Chen hugged her and gently coaxed her to sleep. Very quickly, she fell asleep again. In her dream, she seemed to be whispering vaguely, “Big brother, do you think Big Sister Xuan Nu … will she come back … Xian’er, I miss Big Sister so much …”

…

Just like that, another month had passed and the situation in Heaven of Nether Void had basically stabilized. Everyone knew that the Immortal Master of the Myriad Immortal Domain was named Xiao Yichen.

On this day, Yan Ruyu finally brought back clues about the Ancient Lotus. Xiao Chen held the map in his hand and pondered for a long time before saying, “On the Phoenix Forest Continent and Cave Gathering Continent … Are you sure?”

Yan Ruyu said, “How can I be sure of this? It’s just roughly … According to what I’ve been searching for the past two months, the ancient lotus seed most likely landed at the border between the Immortal Dimension and the Divine Devil Abyss. In other words, it had to pass through the Phoenix Forest Continent and the Cave Gathering Continent …”

“Divine Devil Mountain Range …”

The space between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed. He looked at the markings on the map. If he wanted to go to the Divine Devil Mountain Range, he had to pass through the Phoenix Forest Continent and the Gathering Cave Continent. He couldn’t go anywhere else.

However, on the other side of the Divine Devil Mountain Range was Divine Devil Abyss. It was at odds with the sects of the Immortal Dimension on Ancient Immortal Realm’s side. The people of the Immortal Dimension were strictly forbidden to go there. How could he go there so easily?

Yan Ruyu pointed to the map and said, “Then, if you want to go, you have to take this route. However, there is a very powerful person in Phoenix Linzhou. This person does not even care about Yun Zhongjun and Empress, so he may not let you go.”

“Who?”

“Patriarch Feng Lin.”

Yan Ruyu looked at him and his expression became much more serious. He said, “This person’s cultivation is unfathomable. No one knows how many years he has lived. In any case, a thousand years ago, even Empress addressed him as Senior. His cultivation is definitely not inferior to Yun Zhongjun and Empress. Therefore, no one in Ancient Immortal Realm dares to provoke him easily.”
