How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Shuiran: "..."

"You two have also learned bad habits from your master..."

Shui Ran glanced at the two of them, sighed, and looked up at the spatial rift, watching it together with Huo Le and the others.

"anyway……"

Tulou said quietly, "They set off in the morning. If we really count it as a whole day, it should be exactly 24 hours tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning..."

Yin Zisheng fell silent. The cool August breeze carried the aroma of food from the city. Although it was just ordinary food, it made the stomach of this Nascent Soul stage cultivator rumble.

The ingredients used may not be of high quality, and the nutritional value is probably not much.

If you were to fully unravel the nuances of taste and savor each flavor carefully, you might be able to detect quite a few flaws.

Yet it was precisely this flavor that stirred something within Yin Zisheng.

It felt like stepping back into countless years ago, so distant it seemed like a memory from another lifetime.

Back then, he hadn't met his master yet; he was just a little kid...

Yin Zisheng paused, inexplicably feeling a bit thirsty.

Among the mundane worldly affairs, there is a precious material that even a great cultivator like him yearns for and misses, transcending the material world.

However, it's not impossible to obtain it again...

Yin Zisheng paused slightly, thinking of his pregnant wife and the child about to be born. He also wanted a home of his own.

"Then, shall we wait a little longer?"

Shui Ran frowned and said, "Shall we wait until tomorrow morning to see how things go?"

"I'm still a little worried about this. Even if we can't finish exploring it all at once, we should at least come out and let you know when the day is up..."

Elder Huo Le hesitated for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "Wait three more hours, two more hours."

If they don't come out in another two hours, I'll call a few fellow Daoists from the Boundless Sword Sect to go check on them... Hmm?

Before he could finish speaking, Elder Huo Le raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through his mind.

As if sensing something, all the elders waiting there simultaneously raised their heads and looked at the spatial rift.

They saw a void-like darkness within the crack, then suddenly ripples spread through the space. Their eyes lit up, their expressions tightened, and their hearts tightened slightly.

Before they could say anything, a terrifying muffled sound suddenly came from the crack.

"boom!"

"!!!"

All the elders were startled. Elder Huo Le turned pale on the spot and was about to fly towards the entrance when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"In that case, this last tiny bit is useless, right?"

"Uh, is there anything left? It's all turned to ashes. It's really completely burned now."

"Well, that's true. They were pioneers after all. Let's just wave goodbye like this."

"Then this spatial connection passage is probably useless now, right?"

"Definitely, once this part falls off, it will soon be closed up by the Space Traveler's own body..."

"Yeah, so we'll just cut off this passage then?"

"Hmm, let's get started."

"...Get your hands on me, don't just watch, come and help me out."

"Okay, okay, let's get started."

"..."

"This is……"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and Huo Le's face lit up with joy.

"Xiao Yang and Xiao Li, are they back?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a loud "thud" was heard, as if something had been severed. Then, two figures walked out of the spatial rift side by side, and the passage behind them closed completely.

"Ugh..."

Hongli turned her head to look at the sunset on the horizon, took a deep breath, and showed a comfortable expression.

"Home-cooked food is definitely the best. That smell over there, the sulfur smell, it's absolutely awful..."

"Is it already evening? I didn't expect to waste the whole day inside. Elders, have you been waiting since early morning?"

Hei Yang turned to look at the elders around him, waved his hand, and landed on the ground with Hong Li. Gray mist surged and spread, then dissipated again, leaving dozens of people on the open ground.

The disciples from various sects came to their senses, turned around to look at their surroundings, and couldn't help but cheer.

"Oh ho, I'm back, Space Ranger!"

"Wow, today was so exciting! It feels like a lifetime ago!"

"You don't know how good home is until you go out. Just thinking about how that world has become, and then seeing my own home still so quiet and peaceful, makes me feel so moved that I want to cry."

"Don't cry, let me cry first."

"Hahahahaha..."

The disciples chatted and laughed, leaving the elders, who had been prepared for losses and whose expressions were sad, momentarily stunned.

"One, two, three... seventeen, eighteen, nineteen..."

Tulou counted the members of his sect on his fingers, then revealed a satisfied smile.

"Great, they've all come back safe and sound!"

The elders of the Medicine King Sect and the Boundless Sword Sect, who were on the other side, also recovered from their astonishment. Seeing that none of their disciples were missing, they couldn't help but smile.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the disciples' cultivation levels and even their auras showed a transformative improvement. While they were shocked, their expressions became even more joyful.

Some elders were still stroking their beards and nodding happily, while others had already reached out and hugged Hei Xiaolong.

"Waaah, everyone's alright, thank goodness they're all safe, they're back, it's good that they're back!"

"Oh no, Elder Huo Le, please, please don't be so enthusiastic! Help!"

Hei Xiaolong stared at Elder Huo Le, who was holding him, struggling frantically, and looked at his master in the distance with a pleading expression.

"Elder Huo Le, I'm from the Water Department! You should give a hug to your Fire Department disciples!"

"What are you saying, kid? Aren't the Fire Department and Water Department both part of the Five Elements Sect? Aren't they all our disciples?"

Huo Le was moved, and muttered to himself.

"Besides, many of the people from our Fire Department are girls this time. How can we lay hands on them?"

Besides, you're the closest and easiest for me to handle, so I, as an elder, wanted to check on you. You're someone I've watched grow up, you know!

"what……"

Hei Xiaolong opened his mouth, hesitated, and then sighed deeply.

"Ha, little Gaga, did you see that? Did you see that? Mommy's gotten even stronger!"

Xingyun hadn't seen Xiaogaga, who was stuck in the gray fog, much all day, and now she had a lot to say, chattering and laughing.

"We're back! We're back! Bu Tian, ​​we're back!"

Zhao Zhuji's face flushed with excitement. Even though she considered herself to be calm, she realized how much she missed this world after leaving the Realm of Travel.

Especially after seeing the scenes of other worlds after their destruction, those terrifying images were something Zhao Zhuji never wanted to see in her own home again.

When the giant fire dragon appeared, Zhao Zhuji even felt like crying. Fear of death is in her nature, but she was even more afraid of dying outside her home, with her body never to return to the Realm of Soaring.

Now that she and her friends have successfully returned, a feeling of rebirth rises in her heart. Overwhelmed with excitement, she couldn't help but hug Hong Butian and happily share her feelings.

"Ah, yes, yes, they're back, they're back..."

Hong Butian looked at Zhao Zhuji who had rushed into his arms, his face slightly flushed. The sudden blessing made him feel a surge of excitement.

Despite talking with Zhao Zhuji for so long, he rarely made any "big moves" like hugging and cuddling.

If he had taken the initiative, the other party might not have refused.

But Hong Butian was different from his younger brother and sister. Those two were usually cowards, but when it came to dating, they were inexplicably brave.

As for Hong Butian...

He dared to run away from home with only a ring, venturing into the deep mountains and forests to risk his life in search of his goal.

Even if Hei Yang and Hong Li had ten thousand times the courage, they probably wouldn't be willing to do something like this, given their equal strength and level.

But even with all that courage, his performance in this area, well, it all came down to a sudden lapse of judgment, unlike those two guys.

Hong Butian muttered to himself as he savored this hard-won embrace.

Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get the first time, it means you can do it countless times in the future!

Thinking of this, Hong Butian smiled brightly, gently patting Zhao Zhuji's back while comforting her in a kind and gentle voice.

When the elders finally understood what had happened from their disciples' chatter, they were both surprised and delighted, their faces filled with emotion.
