to, nor could he, pay any attention to them!"Boom..."The true qi blasted out by the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Xuan lasted for nearly four or five seconds before stopping.Fang Yu remained standing in...In today's world, to see someone who has experienced a sect war is practically a miracle.

What's more, Qin Yao is a living person, not a will or any other kind of existence!

She slept for two thousand years in that secret room!

Even an ordinary cultivator, even if their cultivation reached the Tribulation Transcending Stage, it would be impossible to live for so long.

But Qin Yao's master's necklace left for her was obviously not simple.

It lulled Qin Yao into a deep sleep. After such a long time, she still maintains her beauty and the perfection of her body!

This is why cultivators at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Period can be called half- immortals!

They were masters of magic, approaching the level of immortals. They could perform many feats that would be unbelievable to ordinary people.

"You've been alive for two thousand years, too" Fang Yu looked at Qin Yao, his eyes filled with surprise.

"...Well, I suppose so." Qinyáo replied.

In a way, Fang Yu felt that Qin Yao was similar to him.

It's not physical, but mental.

Similarly, spanning thousands of years, surviving to this day and age.

But then, Fang Yu shook his head again.

The difference between the two people, when examined closely, is enormous.

Fang Yu has been alive since almost five thousand years ago until now.

He is like an observer of the long river of history, watching the changes of the world from a god's perspective.

The rise and fall of dynasties over the past five thousand years, the shift in spiritual energy from its abundance to its current scarcity, even the towering skyscrapers of modern cities... Fang Yu has personally experienced and witnessed all these changes.

While Qin Yao seemed more like a traveler from another time.

Two thousand years of sleep didn't exist as time to her.

She jumped from the immortal cultivation world of over two thousand years ago straight into today's martial arts world.

In this situation, Qin Yao would only feel strange, as if she had come to a brand new world.

She won't have Fang Yu's mindset, nor will she be able to understand Fang Yu's feelings.

After realizing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

While Fang Yu was deep in thought, Qin Yao was watching him, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex mixture of emotions.

To her, these things always felt like they had happened just over a decade ago, not long at all.

But in fact, time has passed for over two thousand years.

This discrepancy made her feel like the memories in her mind were becoming unreal.

Now, she is very willing to share these specific memories.

This isn't just for Fang Yu to hear, it's also for herself.

"When you first woke up, it must have been very strange, right" Fang Yu said.

"Well, it's very unfamiliar... I have no idea what has happened in the cultivation world over the past two thousand years... I even feel like I'm dreaming." Qin Yao widened her bright eyes, her voice a little excited.

At that time, even if she woke up, she often felt disillusioned, believing that she had already died and what remained was merely a remnant of her soul.

But over the following fifteen years, she gradually came to accept reality and became increasingly aware of the state of affairs in this era.

Nowadays, cultivators are called warriors. The former cultivation world has become today's martial arts world.

These are all easy to understand and learn.

For Qin Yao, the most difficult thing was adapting to the thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This is the fundamental reason why, after fifteen years of effort, she had only managed to recover to about 50% of her former cultivation level.

"There's another question. Why is Ling'er involved with the awakening of your master, Hua Die Zhenren's consciousness" Fang Yu asked, his brow furrowed.

You should know, Ling'er lives in Wen'an City in the central region, while Qin Yao and Hua Die Zhen Ren's wills are over here in Xidu.

These two places are thousands of kilometers apart, how could they be related

Even if Ling'er's constitution truly met her master's requirements, Huā Dié Zhenren wouldn't be able to find her.

"Actually... about Ling'er, I don't know much. Everything is done according to the will of the master... Sometimes she might transform into my appearance and leave the chamber..." Qin Yao said, a perplexed look appearing in her eyes.

Since the awakening of the master's will, Qin Yao didn't quite understand, even disagree with, what this will said and did.

But because of her status as Master, Qin Yao did not dare to say anything or disobey her orders.

For example, Qin Yao knew nothing about the fact that Ling'er was forcibly brought here before she saw her.

Although Master's reason is quite justifiable, Qin Yao believes that no matter what, they should consult Ling'er's own wishes before proceeding with the inheritance... rather than doing it by force.

This is why Qin Yao was willing to take Fang Yu to the secret room.

Otherwise, Fang Yu would kill her, but she wouldn't betray her master.

"You mean to say that the whole kidnapping of Ling'er was orchestrated by Hua Die, with you not involved at all" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, asked.

"Well... I returned to the secret room yesterday and saw that girl... Afterwards, I asked my master about her identity and why he brought her back." Qin Yao said.

"Yesterday"

Fang Yu suddenly remembered that he had seen Qin Yao yesterday evening. He even used his Insight Eye to see Qin Yao standing before the statue, as if she were a puppet, her head bowed motionless.

Recalling the memory, Fang Yu asked, "What time did you leave Shasheng Temple yesterday"

"I stayed in the room all afternoon yesterday. I didn't come out until this morning." Qinyáo replied.

"You weren't at the Shashan Temple last night either" Fang Yu asked with a frown.

"Well, since Master wants to go out for a while, I can only stay in the secret room," Qin Yao said.

Upon hearing this answer, Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

So, the one he and Bai Ran met at Shashen Temple last night, Qin Yao, was actually a manifestation of Huad ie's will!

It's no wonder that the Qin Yao I see today is different from the Qin Yao I saw yesterday. Her temperament and eyes have changed a bit.

Looking back now, yesterday's Qin Yao, though her eyes still shone brightly, held a different look. There was a hollowness to them.

"I didn't realize she was transformed last night... Even after using Insight, I still couldn't see that it was a will construct!" Fang Yu felt surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered this situation.

From this perspective, even as just a will, Huadie Zhenren is indeed not simple.

Throughout their conversation, they continued to fly north.

Now they have arrived at a desert.

"This used to be the location of our Huadichong, but after the sect war, everything was destroyed... The ruins were even buried by sand." Qin Yao's eyes were filled with sadness as she whispered.

Then, she dove down and landed on the ground.

Fang Yu and Bai Ran, who followed closely behind, also stood on the yellow sand.

The terrain here is noticeably higher.

Qinyao walked forward. After passing two small hills, she could see a doorway appear before her eyes.

"Shizu and Ling'er should be inside... I understand your feelings, and I know Shizu did the wrong thing... But I hope you can use peaceful means..." Qin Yao whispered.

"Whether it's peace or not, it depends on what your master wants to do with Ling'er. That's how we can be sure." Fang Yu said.

Then, the three of them walked into the secret room together.

Unlike the rather narrow doorway, the inner space of the secret room was surprisingly large, measuring at least three or four hundred square meters.

Fang Yu saw at a glance, standing in front of the wall at the very front, a petite figure.

It's Ling'er!

At this moment, Ling'er stood silently against the wall, her eyes wide open, fixed on Fang Yu and the others. In her dark pupils, there was no trace of her former vivacity.

She was wearing a simple blue robe and showed no obvious wounds.

Fang Yu's gaze fell downwards, and he saw that there were many black stones resembling turtle shells arranged on the ground beneath Ling'er's feet.

These stones were placed in order, encircling Ling'er within them.

and besides Blackstone, there were many lines drawn on the ground...

This is a magic circle!

Fan Yu's eyes turned cold, and he was about to walk forward.

"Take one step forward, and I'll send you straight to hell."

This icy voice, like a silver needle, pierced through both Fang Yu and Bai Ran's ears simultaneously.

Bai Ran let out a painful scream, covering her ears with her hands. Her expression was full of agony.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu frowned and looked in the direction beside him.

In the shadows of the locked room, stood a figure.

"Master, they're here for that girl... please... pff!"

Before Qin Yao could finish her words, a powerful force slammed her to the ground, causing her to cry out in pain and become immobile!

"I told you, no outsiders are allowed here during this time! Do you take my words as wind If not for your master Ling Lang's sake, I would have killed you right now!" The other voice was ice-cold and slowly walked towards Fang Yu's location.

Soon, the figure emerged from the shadows.

Appearance, exactly the same as Qin Yao!

"Flower Butterfly Real Person" Fang Yu asked.

The other party didn't answer Fang Yu's question, but said coldly: "Listen carefully to what I say next, I'll only say it once."

"That girl is the one I've chosen as my successor. I will impart all my knowledge to her. For this girl, it's a blessing earned over many lifetimes."

As for you, if you wish to take her, you may. But only after she has accepted my inheritance... And now, get out of my sight at once.

As she spoke, a strange light emanated from her body.

Then, her figure reappeared, completely transformed.

At this point in time, she had become a woman with a slightly aged face, thin lips and a pointed chin. Just from her appearance, one could sense her sharpness.

Fang Yu looked at Huadie Zhenren, his eyes flashed with coldness, but a smile appeared on his face.

"I have a slight recollection of the name Huadicheng. Maybe we've met before, perhaps even friends I've just arrived here, there's no need to rush me away," Fang Yu said.

"Seems like you've chosen death." Huachong Zhenren ignored Fang Yu's words completely, raising his right hand. The tips of his five fingers shot out five black beams!y motivating you, yet as elusive and dreamlike as it seems.Obviously, the entrance to the third layer is right there, on top of this mountain.The pressure of this space on the second floor is extremel...
