The Mind Sea is filled with the consciousness of life from various world dimensions, but it is extremely chaotic. Without the Heart Source Demon Palace as a target, Lin Hui would not dare to enter or leave this place rashly, because it is extremely easy to lose oneself.
In this place, all consciousness is constantly moving. Moreover, the speed of consciousness movement is extremely fast, far exceeding the speed of light.
Therefore, if you're not careful, you can easily get completely lost in it.
In other words, Lin Hui's Heart Source Demon Palace is permanently fixed in one location. To be precise, the Heart Source Demon Palace is actually constantly moving and changing, but as the Demon Emperor, he can pinpoint its location at any time.
In the purple mist.
Lin Hui lowered his altitude and looked at the blurry humanoid figure on the ground, which was only half-body and floating.
I vaguely recognized that this guy seemed to be Xia Si.
At this moment, Xia Si had long, flowing hair, a curvaceous figure, and a beautiful appearance. Her temperament was surprisingly similar to that of Song Feishi, the Mist Man Princess from back then. "It's been a long time since I've been back. I'll take this opportunity to sort out the remnants of the Extreme Cold Ashes." Lin Hui smiled slightly, feeling a little nostalgic, and immediately leaped down.
With a whoosh, he suddenly rushed into Xia Si's semi-transparent body.
Startled, Xia Si's consciousness instantly awoke, contracted, and vanished from her Mind Sea.
Essentially, it didn't disappear; the Mind Sea. It's just that Xia Si was frightened at this moment, and most of her consciousness returned to her original world, leaving only a very small part here.
The Mist Man World.
In a simple white courtyard.
Xia Si, who was resting cross-legged, was suddenly awakened from her deep sleep.
cough cough
She coughed softly a few times and slowly got up.
His white Daoist robe fluttered slightly in the wind, and the tassel of his sword swayed constantly at his waist.
"Ming'er," Xia Si raised her voice, "The weather's a bit dry, go make some chilled white fungus soup."
"Yes, Lord Mountain." A respectful boy's voice responded from outside.
Xia Si sighed, walked to the middle of the courtyard, and reached out to stroke the huge, thick Pear Tree.
"Teacher... will you... come back?"
Three hundred years...
Since Lin Hui left, the world's energy level has continued to decline, like a deflated balloon that can never return to its original height. The apocalypse predicted by Supreme God did not materialize, leading Xia Si to realize that her teacher might have secretly intervened and resolved the matter.
The Supreme God vanished, and the Mist Emperor became history. The power of ordinary people gradually took over, and something called technology quickly took root and sprouted, growing into extremely brilliant fruit in just a hundred years, changing every corner of the world.
These members of the Clear Jade Mountain were initially quite interested and active, but after a while, they grew tired of the repetitive routine and each chose a place to live in seclusion.
She went out and traveled for a long time before returning to Clear Jade Mountain.
Su Yaping married a bunch of wives, and her family prospered. As the patriarch of the family, she was extremely happy.
Yun Xiazi has been studying martial arts all day long, and it seems that she has recently successfully integrated her main Divine Formula into the Wind Sword Art, thus advancing her cultivation level further.
Those three are the only ones I'm familiar with and still keep in touch with.
"Looks like you're doing well?"
Just as Xia Si was feeling down and reminiscing about her life at Clear Jade Mountain...
Suddenly, a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice rang out from behind him.
She was taken aback at first, then her body trembled slightly, as if she realized something, and she slowly turned around.
Behind her, a figure she had imagined countless times, a man she had once desperately wanted to surpass, appeared before her. He was dressed in white, carrying a sword, with black hair flowing down his shoulders, swaying slightly in the wind.
Although his face was much more handsome than before, that unique aura, that extremely familiar spiritual feeling, remained.
"Teacher..." Xia Si's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid that what she was seeing was just an illusion.
"It's been years, and you've become much more well-behaved. You're more docile than before." Lin Hui looked at Xia Si, whose temperament had changed drastically, and felt somewhat emotional.
He initially established Clear Jade Mountain simply for his own convenience. Little did he expect that this arbitrarily created power would still have people remembering him fondly.
"It really is you!?" Xia Si slowly came to her senses. "You... you're really back?"
Bang!
The next second, a tremendous force slammed into her side, sending her flying without any chance to resist.
Not only that, but halfway through her flight, an invisible wall of air reappeared, forcefully blocking her way once again.
Xia Si landed with a limp and awkward expression, covering her swollen cheek.
"That strength... it really was you!!"
"Still no respect for elders." Lin Hui was speechless. He looked around; this was still the Clear Jade Mountain headquarters. He could naturally sense the formation he had set up himself.
"What about the others?" he asked casually.
"So many years have passed, some have gone into seclusion, others have pretended to be ordinary people. That's all. I 'Wind Chime inform them right away. Now, thanks to the modifications we've made, the Wind Chime can cover more than ten times the area they used to!" Xia Si said with a hint of boasting.
"Your temper has improved a lot," Lin Hui remarked again. "You don't hate me anymore?"
"What's there to hate? We were young then, and we've experienced a lot since then. It's been hundreds of years, what is there left to be upset about?" Xia Si paused for a moment before replying. "Those Mist Man have been thinking the same way for tens of thousands of years. They still can't let go of what they can't let go of. You're quite something," Lin Hui laughed.
"Wait, hundreds of years!?" He suddenly realized, his expression changing slightly.
"Yes, it's been over 380 years. Since you left." Xia Si nodded. "At first, I planned to wait for you to come back and have the baby, but as time went on, I lost that idea."
Lin Hui was speechless.
He carefully calculated the time he had been gone, and it was far less than three hundred years. Clearly, different worlds might have different rates of time flow.
"You still remember your promise to leave behind descendants of the Lin Family bloodline, right?" Xia Si even remembered that.
"... No rush, no rush..." Lin Hui smiled helplessly.
"Fine, if you want to have a child, you have to come to me. I guess the only chance to surpass you is to have a child with us..." Xia Si thought to herself.
"... Where is the sect leader!? Where is he? Wasn't he supposed to be back!?" Suddenly, Wind Chime rang in Lin Hui's mind.
It's Su Yaping!
This guy's voice was old, but it was already a standard, strong, and powerful voice.
"At headquarters! Everyone come back." Xia Si responded quickly.
"Are you sure?" Yun Xiazi's voice rang out.
"Absolutely true."
"They're here!"
The two lost contact, clearly already in a hurry to get away and leave.
Three hundred years is just a considerable period of time for those who possess the Illusion Destruction Eye and are immortal.
After experiencing the constant cycle of people passing away, being born, growing up, and going through life, the three of them naturally came to regard Clear Jade Mountain as the only core bond in their hearts.
As the world continues to decline in power, the number of cultivators is decreasing, and the power of martial arts is weakening.
People like them are becoming increasingly rare.
The other cultivators who were close to them seemed to have aged and died because of their demotion.
Only they possess the Disaster Energy, and combined with the Illusion Destruction Eye, they remain unchanged.
While the others arrived, Lin Hui asked Xia Si about everything that had happened over the past three hundred years.
The Lin Family has basically disappeared. Only the Tao Family line, left behind by the younger sister Lin Xiaoliu, remains.
Several generations of the Tao Family have passed away; even Lin Xiaoliu's son has long since passed away.
These days, people in these branches have almost forgotten who Lin Hui even was.
Blackwater City has now been expanded into a super-city twice the size of its original self.
Not long after.
Su Yaping leaped down from mid-air and immediately saw Lin Hui, bowing down in reverence.
"Sect Master! It's been so many years! Your disciples... miss you every moment!"
He looked no different from a seventy- or eighty-year-old man at that moment.
White hair and white eyebrows, his body covered in wrinkles.
"Why would you miss me? Aren't you all doing just fine?" Lin Hui said helplessly.
"This world is like a giant prison from which we cannot escape. Su Yaping is wondering when you can take him out. Look how old he has become! If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Yun Xiazi's clear voice also drifted from the other direction in mid-air.
She wore a long red dress, her black hair reaching her waist; she was simple and beautiful, a stark contrast to Xia Si's mature and alluring charm.
As soon as she landed, she knelt down respectfully and eagerly before Lin Hui, bowing deeply.
"Sect Leader, we have long awaited your return..."
Lin Hui looked at the three of them. Whatever their reasons for remembering him, at least the outcome was right. That was enough.
"I've come back this time to take you all away. The reconstruction of Clear Jade Mountain needs manpower, and you are all suitable..." He immediately made no attempt to hide anything and frankly stated the level he was currently facing.
Their decision to stay or leave is up to them.
After all, compared to the Mist Man World, the outside world is full of powerful individuals at the fifth or sixth ring level. At that level, a wave of the hand could destroy most of the Mist Man World.
With just a little more force, the entire world could be shattered.
To his surprise, the three men's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and they agreed without hesitation.
Without any hesitation, and after quickly packing a few things, Lin Hui bestowed upon them the Formless Demon Incense and demonstrated how to enter and exit their Mind Sea. A little over ten minutes later...
The first floor of the Heart Source Demon Palace.
Lin Hui granted the three people access. He placed the Illusion Destruction Eye itself on the third floor and set up a Wind Energy blockade.
The first floor served as a hidden gathering place for the disciples of the Heart Source Demon Palace.
Upon arriving at this place, the three had no interest in the Heart Source Demon Palace or the Skeleton Fusheng, but were extremely curious about the purple mist drifting outside.
Lin Hui let them explore on their own. In any case, the Illusion Destruction Eye could not control death, and with the Formless Demon Incense, the three of them would be basically safe. He then went to pick up the other two disciples he had left in the Black Domain Void— Wu Anning and Liu Xuezhen.
Since we are going to rebuild Clear Jade Mountain, we naturally need to gather everyone together.
These five individuals will form the core of his team for rebuilding Clear Jade Mountain, with the Heart Source Demon Palace at its heart.
This time, he will use Wind Energy to completely transform the physical constitution of everyone, making them unique Wind Energy Fusionist!
