White Hair Bids Black Hair Farewell, When You Wish to Care for Them, They Are No Longer There

"Now that all matters had been settled, it was time to leave the Human Realm and return to the Spirit Realm..."

After testing the divine abilities of the [Earth Emperor Pearl]'s artifact spirit, Wei Tu, within the secret realm's medicinal garden, felt the urge to depart.

First, he had a hundred-year pact with Purple Chi Lord. He had to return to the Feather Dragon Clan within a hundred years.

Now, nearly half that time had passed. Though the remaining fifty years were not short, his route back to the Spirit Realm had changed. Even if this route was not particularly dangerous, he still had to leave himself ample room for error, lest he be delayed and ruin his affairs.

Second, it concerned the human race and Jianglingzi.

Although Jianglingzi had promised to do his utmost to deceive the human race's upper echelons and not leak information related to Wei Tu within the Human Realm, it was difficult to control how long that secrecy would last.

The sooner he left, the safer he would be.

"However, before leaving, I must make another trip to the Ruins Sea Cultivation Realm..." Wei Tu gazed into the distance. Toward the Ruins Sea Cultivation Realm across the Crimsonbright Sea, beyond the memories buried deep in his heart, he also felt... a trace of dread.

There was no other reason. In this cultivation realm, life and death, partings and farewells, were the easiest things to grow accustomed to—and the hardest things... to accept.

Before he returned, the two realms had stood apart. He knew nothing of whether Wei Yan, Kou Hongying, and the others were alive or safe.

Yet deep down, he had always harbored some expectation. After all, these relatives still had some chance of breaking through to Spirit Transformation and successfully extending their lives.
