"Miss, you've been in this Qingyao Immortal Domain for almost ten years."
"Judging by the time, it's about time we went back."
"If it gets any later, I'm afraid the clan..."
On a mountain peak in the Qingyao Immortal Domain.
Wearing a dark gold phoenix robe and a golden veil, Di Yunxi gazed at the distant scenery.
I wonder what he's thinking.
The aged voice of Uncle Fu came from behind.
Upon hearing what the other person said, Di Yunxi gently wrinkled her delicate, white nose.
"More than ten years have passed, how time flies."
"I came out to clear my head, but I didn't expect my mind to become more and more chaotic."
Di Yunxi seemed to be talking to herself.
She doesn't know what's wrong with her these past few years.
Logically speaking, it would be an extremely rare opportunity for her to go out Rogue Cultivator.
But she wasted it all.
All these years I've sat alone on this mountaintop.
Even Uncle Fu was sent down the mountain by her.
If the other person hadn't come up the mountain again to remind her, she probably wouldn't have known she should go back.
"Yes, it's time to go back."
"Any later... I imagine those people in the clan will start causing trouble again."
Di Yunxi slowly withdrew her gaze.
He kept saying he didn't know what was wrong with him.
How could one truly not know deep down?
She spent ten years healing her emotions.
But all for a stranger, an immortal, whom he had only met once.
If this reason were to be revealed...
The whole clan will probably be surprised.
"Ten years I've longed for you, but you know nothing of it."
May you, in your next life, not fail me.
I couldn't help but conjure up the image of that man's handsome face in my mind.
Di Yunxi closed her eyes slightly.
Even she herself found it unbelievable.
Why did I feel so moved?
Enough, enough. Taken into the Grotto-Heaven, returned to the Heavenly Dao.
Even Emperor Venerable being cannot forcibly seize Grotto-Heaven from the Heavenly Dao.
If Lu Li can survive, the only way is to fight his way out of the Grotto-Heaven on his own.
But this is utter nonsense.
Uncle Fu searched Xie Yuanjun's soul.
Therefore, Di Yunxi knew that Xie Yuanjun had sealed Lu Li's innate wisdom and placed it into the Grotto-Heaven.
Without innate wisdom, one is just an ordinary person.
They can only endure endless cycles of reincarnation within the Grotto-Heaven, until their true spirit is exhausted and they perish completely, only then will it end.
Thinking about everything Lu Li might have to go through.
Di Yunxi felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
After taking a deep breath with her eyes closed, she opened them.
"Let's go back to our clan."
"This journey of trials and tribulations has come to an end. Upon returning to my clan, I will claim the Qingyao Immortal Domain as mine."
"Yes!"
In response to Di Yunxi's request, Uncle Fu responded respectfully.
It was as if the entire Qingyao Immortal Domain was nothing more than an object, something that could be disposed of at will.
Upon hearing Uncle Fu's response, Di Yunxi immediately got up to leave.
Before she could make a move, Uncle Fu behind her suddenly let out a surprised voice.
"Hmm? This is... the aura of Qingming?"
"Wasn't that guy dead a long time ago?"
"This is... Qingming's tomb where he passed away?!"
As if sensing something, Uncle Fu straightened his hunched body in an instant.
His gaze was fixed intently on the distance.
In his vision, it seemed as if a great sun was slowly rising.
Upon seeing this, he quickly bowed to Di Yunxi.
"Miss, your calculations are truly astute; no wonder you came to the Qingyao Immortal Domain."
"The Immortal Venerable Qingming of yesteryear actually left behind a Tomb of the River of Time here."
"Hmm, Qingming truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy of the Golden Crow Clan. Those who can leave behind Tomb of the River of Time are no ordinary individuals."
"Even among Immortal Venerable, he is an exceptionally talented individual!"
A rare hint of praise and emotional fluctuation appeared in Uncle Fu's tone.
It's clear that this Tomb of the River of Time is no ordinary object in his eyes.
It's incredibly lucky that my young lady could run into him.
No, it wasn't a chance encounter; our young lady was determined to come to Qingyao Immortal Domain from the very beginning.
This was clearly planned!
As for Di Yunxi, she was also slightly surprised after hearing what Uncle Fu said.
She never imagined that the Qingyao Immortal Domain would have such good fortune.
Uncle Fu, however, spoke with certainty.
"Please rest assured, Miss. Your presence here signifies the great fortune bestowed upon this place."
"Whether it was intentionally calculated or not, it undoubtedly shows that this is Miss's achievement."
"Otherwise, how long has it been since the Qingyao Immortal Domain has witnessed such a great fortuitous opportunity?"
"This must be due to your divine calculations and the miraculous merits of the young lady."
Di Yunxi didn't dwell too much on what Uncle Fu said.
Di Yunxi knew who Qingming was, as he mentioned.
She knew some of the past of the Qingyao Immortal Domain.
The tomb of someone who has passed away peacefully in the River of Time is not something that an ordinary immortal could leave behind.
Anyone who could leave behind this tomb must be extraordinary.
However, she was preoccupied with her own concerns and didn't have much interest in exploring this Tomb of the River of Time.
" Uncle Fu, let's go."
"Let others explore the tombs here."
Seeing that Di Yunxi didn't have much of an opinion, Uncle Fu was naturally unwilling to leave just like that.
He immediately bowed again in respect.
"Miss, please reconsider. Tomb of the River of Time, or perhaps left behind by that Golden Crow from the Qingming?"
"The contents of this are still somewhat mysterious."
"It would be a bit of a waste to leave like this."
"Furthermore, if Miss wishes to have a greater say in the clan in the future..."
At the end, Uncle Fu suddenly stopped talking.
He seemed to realize that he had said too much.
A hint of fear appeared on his face, and he lowered his head even further.
Seeing this, Di Yunxi's expression remained unchanged; she simply waved her hand.
I still don't have many ideas.
But just as she was about to turn and leave...
A sudden, inexplicable flutter rose in my heart.
The flutter in her heart made her pause lightly.
I subconsciously looked into the distance.
"Fine, I'll go take a look."
With Di Yunxi's approval.
Uncle Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately led the way, flying towards the perceived light of the great sun.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Lu Li, who had stayed in the Withered Marsh Forest for several days, still had not found a way to open this illusory secret realm.
He didn't even know how to make it fully manifest.
The stalemate was giving him a headache.
Suddenly, a golden feather flew in from the horizon.
"Whoosh!"
It carried the intense heat of the blazing sun.
Golden feathers streaked through the air.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the Withered Marsh Forest.
Lu Li and Ye Chenfeng were startled by the feather that suddenly flew towards them.
Before the two could react...
The feather hovered completely above the Withered Marsh Forest.
Then, an extremely shocking scene appeared before Lu Li's eyes.
The golden feather hovered motionless, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, and countless other illusory feathers that appeared one after another.
Like a jigsaw puzzle, it outlines a colossal creature in the sky above the Withered Marsh Forest.
Golden feathers, fire armor, yang eyes, three legs!
It was a lifelike, Three-Legged Golden Crow, as if it were alive!
At the very moment the Golden Crow manifested.
The entire Withered Marsh Forest trembled incessantly, as if the heavens and earth were being turned upside down.
A phantom river appeared out of thin air behind the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Both Lu Li and Ye Chenfeng were stunned by the sudden and shocking turn of events before them.
Especially Ye Chenfeng.
After seeing the illusory river appear, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"This is... the River of Time?!"
