Seeing Houtu Again, Entering Myriad Travel for the Third Time

Houtu looked just as she had back then, but her aura was no longer at the first step of the Dao Realm. She had advanced to the second step of the Dao Realm—the Dao Fruit Realm.

Han Yi saw through her realm at a glance, and his eyes brightened slightly.

It seemed that, with Celestial Venerable Lei Yan protecting her near the Transcendence Dao Mark, the insights Houtu had gained were surely unimaginably abundant. And with a Celestial Venerable by her side, there would be no issue whether it came to cultivation Dao crystals or other resources.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Yi nodded and smiled. "It's me."

Houtu's eyes brightened further, but she suddenly noticed that Han Yi's aura stood deep and still as an abyss, lofty and immovable as a mountain. He seemed like a divine peak whose summit could not be seen. Even without intending to, he radiated an aura that made her heart tremble.

There was no reverence in Houtu's eyes, only
