The first thing that caught her eye was a fiery-red Daoist robe edged in gold, both noble and magnificent.
Just the sight of him standing there sent his noble, carefree, otherworldly presence washing over her, leaving Shi Yaoyao feeling a little breathless.
His fiery-red hair hung lazily to his waist, adding a few more shades of carefree, demonic charm.
Noble, carefree, otherworldly, demonic...
So many different qualities blended together, yet they seemed perfectly harmonious, making his exceptional bearing and outstanding elegance all the more apparent!
Shi Yaoyao had not even gotten a clear look at the Immortal Venerable's face before his presence had already won her over.
Amazed, she shifted her gaze to his face.
Handsome!
Unable to find any words to describe him, Shi Yaoyao could only offer this simple, common, yet utterly precise assessment.
Clearly, in Shi Yaoyao's eyes, that face was completely worthy of his presence!
They truly complemented each other, each enhancing the other!
Although Shi Yaoyao was not boy-crazy, that face, that presence, and those deep, demonic, strikingly beautiful fiery-red eyes...
Oh no, she couldn't take it anymore! If she kept looking, she was going to fall for him!
Shi Yaoyao knew she couldn't handle it!
Who could resist that?
No, she couldn't show disrespect to the Immortal Venerable!
Shi Yaoyao hurriedly shook all the unhealthy thoughts out of her head.
This was too wicked! Too wicked!
Watching Shi Yaoyao act so strangely and seem so distracted, Bai Yu felt a little puzzled, but he did not read her inner voice or thoughts.
Otherwise, if Bai Yu found out what Shi Yaoyao was thinking right now, he would probably lose it completely and kick her away.
Boys had to protect themselves when they were out and about, too!
Bai Yu turned his gaze to Yang Jian and the others.
Apart from Yang Jian, whom he had met during his visit to the Lotus Lantern World, Bai Yu was seeing everyone else for the first time.
Of course, Shi Yaoyao was the exception.
Bai Yu had actually met this group's leader first, but Shi Yaoyao did not know that.
"Immortal Venerable, you've finally arrived. Now that you're here, we can all rest easy."
Under Bai Yu's gaze, everyone felt a little nervous. Xiong Ba, however, bravely stepped forward and began buttering him up.
Since this was an in-person meeting, Xiong Ba did not dare act too much like a bootlicker, lest the Immortal Venerable look down on him and despise him. That would hardly be worth it.
"Immortal Venerable, have you already taken care of the problem?"
Yang Jian looked at the world, which had returned to normal after the heavens and earth had changed color, unable to believe that only moments ago, the sky had been collapsing and the earth splitting, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
The moment the Immortal Venerable appeared, the whole world had fallen silent.
Yang Jian's heart filled with endless awe and reverence.
"Immortal Venerable, what about Mei Changsu?"
Lin Jiu asked with some concern. After all, something this serious had happened here, so the Langya World must be in even worse shape.
Although Mei Changsu had only just joined the group and was not yet close to the others, having barely exchanged a few words with them, kindhearted Lin Jiu could not help worrying.
"Everything is fine over there. My Law Dao Body has sealed off that world, and the transmigrator's system has already been suppressed."
Bai Yu spoke calmly, his unruffled manner leaving everyone in awe.
Sure enough, what was a life-threatening disaster to them was only a minor problem that the Immortal Venerable could solve with ease.
Chonglou gazed at Bai Yu with shining eyes, filled with reverence and fighting spirit.
Chonglou revered Bai Yu more than anyone else. He worshiped power, constantly sought out opponents, and ceaselessly pursued greater strength.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit, but he did not dare blithely declare that he would fight the Immortal Venerable.
He could only turn that fighting spirit into motivation to keep advancing.
The Immortal Venerable's power was the power he wanted to pursue!
Bai Yu naturally noticed the fighting spirit in Chonglou's eyes and understood that Chonglou did not want to fight him. After all, Chonglou knew his own limits; he merely yearned for it.
He yearned to fight Bai Yu one day, and yearned to possess power as great as Bai Yu's.
Mm, that was not how a Demon Venerable should act, but it was very Chonglou.
"Immortal Venerable big brother, has anything gone wrong in my world?"
Just then, Shi Yaoyao strode right over, completely unafraid. Her voice turned sweet and coy as she called him big brother.
Hehehe, she had wanted to use that voice for ages, but the circumstances had never allowed it!
Now that she had finally met the mighty Immortal Venerable in person, she could finally lay it on thick!
Yang Jian and the others felt their scalps go numb.
When the group leader had spoken to them just now, her voice had sounded nothing like this!
Xiong Ba silently nodded to himself, feeling a little regretful. That was a good trick, but he had no way of using it!
"Talk properly!"
Bai Yu looked at Shi Yaoyao, speechless. Why did he feel like this group leader was getting more and more lively and mischievous?
"Okay, hehehe."
Shi Yaoyao obediently nodded and gave a silly little laugh. She stopped putting on the coy voice-well, just a little coy did not count.
"Your world has run into a few minor problems, but they can be solved."
With that, Bai Yu raised a hand and gently tapped the empty air.
Waves rippled through the boundless void. Then the Time Origin Law appeared, and a silvery-white river stretched across the sky, mysterious and unfathomable.
This was the River of Time of this world.
"The River of Time!"
Yang Jian, Chonglou, and Prince Changqin all froze and spoke in unison.
They were Daluo Golden Immortals who had comprehended Origin Laws. Although they had not comprehended the Time Law, none of them were unfamiliar with the River of Time.
As for Xiong Ba and Lin Jiu, who had yet to become immortals, they stared at this heart-stopping sight in shock.
Shi Yaoyao gazed curiously at Bai Yu, her eyes sparkling.
Bai Yu raised his palm slightly, then gave a gentle flick. The River of Time, which had been flowing normally, abruptly stopped and began to flow backward!
The passage of time in this world also reversed along with the River of Time.
At that moment, the mysteries of time were laid bare.
Yet time's mighty force could not reach the area around Bai Yu. The backyard of the villa seemed to have been abandoned by time.
As everyone watched time run backward, everything around them, the entire world, fell into a strange distortion, making it impossible to tell the illusory from the real.
Clearly, even a Daluo Golden Immortal like Yang Jian could not truly see through the mysteries of time.
As for everyone else, they were even more like people watching flowers through a mist. They could only sense that it was mysterious and unfathomable, yet could not put it into words. They were confused and could not see clearly.
In a daze, all the dreamlike distortions vanished.
Everyone felt a little drained. The suffocating sensation suddenly disappeared, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted.
Time in this world had already returned to the moment before the Law's invasion, as if nothing had happened.
The destruction the Law's invasion had caused to this world was also undone as time flowed backward.
Bai Yu had directly turned back the state of this world.
He felt this was the easiest way to restore the world to normal.
"The River of Time flowing backward, turning back time, restoring the world to normal-this..."
When Yang Jian came to his senses, he could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.
He was even more astonished by the mysteries and power of the Time Law.
The Time Law! Among the Three Thousand Origin Laws, it was among the very highest tier.
