After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

With a sway of his body, he was like a shooting star plunging into an abyss, crashing straight into the void rift that had been forcibly torn open!

Om-!

Upon entering, Lin Fengmian felt a sudden darkness before his eyes!

It was an extreme, chilling darkness, not merely the absence of light, but an absolute nothingness.

It was as if space, time, color, sound—everything had been swallowed up, and nothing existed anymore.

Lin Fengmian felt as if he had been thrown into a pot of boiling ink, unable to hear any sound and unable to feel any direction.

He even began to feel disoriented, unable to distinguish whether he was stationary or speeding at an unimaginable pace.

The feeling was extremely eerie; time seemed to have stopped flowing, yet it also seemed to be passing by in a violent and rapid manner, so fast that it made his scalp tingle.

I don't know how much time has passed; perhaps it was just a moment, or perhaps it was eternity...

Just as Lin Fengmian's consciousness was about to be swallowed by this void, a scene suddenly appeared before his eyes!

It was a colossal beast of unimaginable size!

Lin Fengmian felt he was getting closer to it, or perhaps it was getting closer to him.

The disorienting sensation of relative motion nearly made his brain explode.

The giant beast grew closer and larger until it filled Lin Fengmian's entire field of vision.

He couldn't see the entire beast because it was too big.

So large that only the abyssal chasms on its skin were visible, so large that only one of its pupils was visible.

It was as vast as a star, cold and indifferent, as if looking down upon an insignificant speck of dust.

What the hell is this?!

Lin Fengmian was greatly alarmed and instinctively wanted to activate his spiritual power to resist.

However, he discovered that the spiritual energy within his body was frozen in this void, and he couldn't mobilize it at all!

At this critical moment, countless colorful, thread-like things appeared out of nowhere in the surrounding void.

The silk threads emitted an eerie yet dazzling light, and like living things, they wrapped around Lin Fengmian's body!

It moved incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already wrapped around his arms, waist, and ankles!

A chilling sense of crisis instantly surged into my heart!

However, the next moment, the jade pendant in his arms...

Suddenly, it emitted a soft and warm white light!

The light was not dazzling, but it carried an indescribable and mysterious power, spreading outwards like ripples!

The colorful silk threads that had been wrapped around the object melted and dissipated instantly when illuminated by the white light, just like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. They vanished without a trace!

The white light grew brighter and brighter, eventually completely enveloping Lin Fengmian's body!

boom--!

A deafening roar, like the creation of the world, exploded in Lin Fengmian's mind! A blinding white light suddenly flashed before his eyes, engulfing him completely!

The white light grew brighter and brighter, until finally…

Stopped abruptly.

The white light vanished, as if it had never existed.

Lin Fengmian felt a sudden lightness in his body, followed by a tremendous feeling of falling!

boom!

He crashed heavily onto a hard surface, kicking up dust, his bones groaning.

With his last bit of strength, he rolled over, lying on his back, panting heavily.

After his eyes adjusted to the surrounding light, Lin Fengmian saw a desolate landscape everywhere he looked!

The sky was a hazy gray, as if covered by a layer of dust that would never dissipate. Not a blade of grass grew on the earth; the cracked ground stretched to the horizon.

Everywhere there were weathered rocks and dried-up riverbeds. The air was thick with a dry, stifling smell, carrying a pungent, sulfurous odor.

"Where the hell did this come from, you idiot? Ouch, I almost fell and died!"

Lin Fengmian grimaced as he got up, brushing the dust off his clothes. He looked around, and his heart sank.

Looking around, there wasn't a single living creature, not even the usual vegetation they had seen before.

The ground was covered with strange, withered trees and moss that he did not recognize, a desolate and lifeless scene.

"I hope this doesn't teleport me directly to some abandoned little world!"

Lin Fengmian let out a wail in his heart, his face turning extremely ugly.

Damn it, he hadn't even had a chance to fully enjoy the pleasures of those two sisters, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Mili!

Back in Qingzhou, Chu Qingyi, Xiao Xiyue, Honglian, and all her other gentle and charming wives are surely still eagerly waiting for him to return and pamper them!

No! I have to go back right away!

Lin Fengmian steadied himself, forcing himself to calm down. He instinctively tried to circulate his spiritual energy.

He first tried to cultivate and recover from his injuries, while also seeing if he could sense the spiritual energy in this world. However, the next moment, his expression completely changed—

There wasn't even a trace of spiritual energy in the surrounding world!

The air was filled with a deathly and murky aura that he had never felt before, which he could not absorb or refine at all!

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, and with no other choice, he could only take out some rare and precious herbs and pills that he had accumulated from his spiritual spring space.

He began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing to restore the nearly depleted spiritual energy in his body.

A moment later, he suddenly remembered something, his mind sank, and he probed into the spiritual spring space.

Xiao Ling'er was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the spiritual spring space. Although her face was a little pale, her breathing was still relatively steady.

Lin Fengmian felt a little more at ease, and with a thought, he released her as well.

As soon as Xiao Ling'er came out, she stared wide-eyed at the desolate and lifeless scene before her, her little face immediately filled with frustration and grievance.

She spent this time with Lin Fengmian.

They were either being chased or falling into the void turbulence.

I finally had a few days of peace and quiet, and now I'm back in this godforsaken place!

This despicable bastard, can't he just stay in one place?

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Xiao Ling'er had gradually come to regard Lin Fengmian as the only person she could rely on.

Looking at Lin Fengmian's body covered in wounds and his weak breath, her heart softened, and she asked softly:

"How did you get so badly injured... Let me help you treat it."

Lin Fengmian simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

His mind was completely preoccupied with figuring out where he was; the desolate scene before him seemed somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where.

As Xiao Ling'er carefully tended to his deep, bone-revealing wounds, she couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath:

"Master, where is this...? I still prefer staying in the Hehuan Sect..."

She glanced at Lin Fengmian furtively, noticing his tired expression, and muttered, "It's all your fault, you insisted on taking me with you when you went to Zhongzhou..."
