Under the other woman's moved, reluctant, and bashful gaze, Chen Changan awkwardly walked out of the barrier.
He'd thought the Perfect Race's leader was sharper than the other members of her race. Now it seemed they all had something wrong with their heads.
After leaving the barrier, Chen Changan went straight to the base of the Child-Bearing Tree's roots, beneath the lake.
Following the location the Perfect Race's leader had given him, Chen Changan quickly found the entrance.
Once he'd successfully entered the inner space, Chen Changan discovered that it wasn't very large. The moment he stepped inside, he saw where the energy essence was stored.
"Not bad. They've accumulated quite a lot over the years."
Chen Changan didn't hold back at all and swept all the energy essence into his Jade Bottle of Fortune.
After a moment's thought, Chen Changan decided to test the energy essence's effects first. Although he'd already broken through to the Other Shore Realm, he was still far from strong enough in the Nine Profound Domain.
Besides, if he wanted to deal with Nian Junxin, he had to raise his strength as quickly as possible.
He couldn't let his guard down just because she wasn't doing anything for the moment.
"Hey!"
"What's going on?"
"Why have they been down there so long?"
By the lakeside, Ren Xuan looked at the still water and sighed helplessly.
Twenty years had passed since Chen Changan entered the lake.
"Yeah, it's been far too long."
By now, all the other members of the Perfect Race had left. Only Ren Xuan and Shu Xin remained, and Shu Xin also thought it had been too long. She worried that something might have gone wrong down there.
"Good heavens, here he comes!"
"He's back!"
The two had barely exchanged a few words
