After hearing Ling Tian recount how he had matched wits with Chi Xue in the You Hun Realm, Feng Qing and the others were amazed. Sword Venerable praised their resourcefulness again and again, declaring that their ingenuity defied the heavens.
"Ling Tian, you and Chi Xue are truly incredible. You calculated every move so precisely, keeping all of us completely in the palm of your hands." Fairy Sword Ji was full of admiration. "Only the two of you could have matched each other's wits so evenly. You both achieved your goals—at least before you left the You Hun Realm."
"That's right. Only before you left the You Hun Realm," Sword Venerable picked up the thread with a hearty laugh. "After that, things slipped out of Chi Xue's control. He managed to keep the fact that the Enlightenment Sacred Tree was with Ling Tian a secret from everyone except himself, and he sent people to search for you. But he never expected you to vanish without a trace once you left the You Hun Realm. All these years later, they still haven't found you. If Fairy Meng Shang hadn't needed to reverse her golden core, they might not have discovered you at all."
Ling Tian smiled faintly. "We were just lucky enough to find a very secluded place to hide. Otherwise, there was a good chance we would have been found. At the very least, Chi Xue figured out that we were hiding in the northern region of the God Realm."
"How did Chi Xue figure out that you were in the northern region of the God Realm?" Fairy Sword Ji asked, puzzled. "I remember that not long after leaving the You Hun Realm, Chi Xue headed straight for the northern region with his people. The God Realm is so vast.
