"How many years have you cultivated here?" After hearing this, Shen Luo gradually formed a guess and asked.
"I've spent all these years muddleheaded, and I've long since lost track of time. But it has definitely been several hundred years," Bai Ling said after a slight hesitation.
"Several hundred years... During those centuries, have you ever left this place?" Shen Luo asked thoughtfully.
"No. The primordial energy of heaven and earth is chaotic here. This is simply a lawless land. With your abilities, Senior, perhaps you can come and go freely, but I cannot. I can't get past the archway of Two-Boundary Town," Bai Ling said, shaking her head.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo became even more puzzled. He did not know how he had left the town before, but he knew very well how he had come here—he had followed Bai Ling in.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is precisely the region where Five-Finger Mountain once stood.

Much like blessed lands and Cave Heavens, they formed many small realms where time had stagnated, intersecting and influencing one another. That is why, the night before last, I encountered the scene of you snatching a bride in town," Shen Luo said with a frown.
Bai Ling looked puzzled, apparently unable to understand what Shen Luo meant.

Shen Luo glanced at her, then turned his gaze
