Feeling the Light Gate,
Ling Tian came to his senses as if from a dream and couldn't help asking,
"Have we arrived, Liu'er?"
A trace of fatigue crossed Liu'er's little face. She replied weakly,
"Immortal,"
"We've arrived."
With that,
Liu'er sprang lightly into the air and flew straight through the Light Gate.
Ling Tian hesitated for a moment, then piloted the Epoch Ark and entered the Light Gate as well.
As the stars shifted,
Ling Tian found himself in another world.
But when he saw the enormous willow tree before him and the familiar figure beneath it,
even his steely dao heart couldn't stop him from crying out,
"Yang Mei, you really are here!"
"Who exactly are you?"
"And where is this place?"
"What is your relationship with Hongmeng?"
"What is the situation beyond the domain right now?"
"..."
Beneath the enormous willow tree,
countless branches dangled through the void, radiating a faint, hazy glow.
It was like a fairyland.
But Ling Tian paid no attention to the beautiful scenery. His gaze was fixed on the figure beneath the willow tree.
The owner of that figure was none other than Daoist Yang Mei!
Hearing Ling Tian's barrage of questions, Yang Mei smiled and said,
"Take your time. There's no need to rush."
"Today, I'll tell you everything I know."
As he spoke,
Yang Mei waved his sleeve.
A meditation cushion appeared on the open ground.
At Yang Mei's gesture, Ling Tian slowly sat down.
But Ling Tian's gaze never left Yang Mei.
"Heh!"
Yang Mei chuckled softly, then got straight to the point.
"I'll answer your first question."
"I am indeed Yang Mei."
"But I have another identity..."
At this point,
Yang Mei lifted his chin slightly, looking rather proud.
"I am also Hongmeng's Guardian!"
Hongmeng's Guardian?
