In a secluded valley near the sea, on the outskirts of the Boundless Continent.
Beside a stream.
Whoosh!
As space twisted, three figures appeared and descended.
They were Wei Ye, Qing Yanjing, and the woman in white.
After looking around at the surroundings, Wei Ye nodded slightly. "This place isn't bad."
"Thank you both for your help." The woman in white expressed her gratitude once more.
"You're too polite, Sister. It was only a small matter."
With a gentle smile, Qing Yanjing asked, "It seems what you cultivate isn't Spiritual Energy. You must have just ascended from a Lower Plane, right?"
At those words, the woman in white immediately tensed.
The wariness she had already lowered considerably instantly surged back when she heard the words "Lower Plane."
Having experienced the invasion of the Otherworldly Demons, she had arrived in an unfamiliar place. Naturally, she was sensitive toward anyone probing into her origins and instinctively remained guarded.
Seeing the vigilance in the woman's expression, Qing Yanjing smiled and softened her tone. "I was merely asking casually. I mean no harm. This is the Great Thousand World, the center where countless Lower Planes converge."
"Because cultivation systems differ, after ascending, you encounter your current situation. The energy of your original Lower Plane conflicts with the Great Thousand World's Spiritual Energy. This is called the Spiritual Energy Tribulation."
Qing Yanjing was extremely patient as she carefully explained this information to the woman in white.
The woman listened attentively, learning about this unfamiliar new world.
At last, Qing Yanjing looked at Wei Ye, who stood nearby, and smiled lightly. "Young Master Wei also came from a Lower Plane."
"Oh?" The woman in white immediately turned her gaze toward Wei Ye. She had noticed earlier that an immeasurably vast aura faintly emanated from him.
