The journey home meant a new beginning. Returning from the Moon Palace to the Immortal Realm was far easier than the journey there.
With Lin Zhique guiding them and the passage token in hand, coupled with Lin Heng's grasp of the laws of space, crossing the Epoch barrier consumed some energy, but no danger arose.
When the familiar Star Sea came into view, when the continents along both banks of the Heavenly River once more entered his perception, Lin Heng let out a long breath.
Compared to that mysterious, ancient Immortal Burial Star, he still felt that the environment here suited him better.
Though he had grown accustomed to living over there since childhood, wasn't this place more boundless and open? At the very least, here and now, he still had the final say.
But in the Immortal Burial Star region, one big brick thrown down could probably smash a whole crowd of peak Mahayana cultivators to death.
Sure enough, strength was the true stepping stone.
The return of Lin Heng and Jiang Jingyi stirred the Immortal Realm once again.
After hearing reports from their subordinates about recent developments, they realized that they had left in early autumn and returned in the new winter. After all the twists and turns, the cycle had run for nearly eleven months. In other words, nearly a year had passed in the outside world—or rather, in the Immortal Realm—during their round trip to the immortal domain.
A year truly passed in the flick of a finger.
The joy of reunion spread through both realms.
Lin Zhique returned to Heavenly Action Continent with trepidation in his heart. He did not reveal himself immediately. Instead, just as Lin Heng had done when he vanished and later returned, he first became a silent observer.
Everything had changed.
