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

A bold conjecture emerged.

"Could it be... that a spatial node is hidden here as well? Does it lead directly to the Upper Spirit Realm, or... connect to where I came from, the Xuanling Continent?"

The thought made his heart beat slightly faster.

Although the Land of Desolation has been barren for thousands of years, it was once a vast small world connected to the Xuanling Continent, and its foundation remains.

Now that spiritual energy has fully recovered, even the main spiritual vein of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range has come back to life. Those truly ancient beings and peerless geniuses who have been sleeping and hiding for countless years through ancient spiritual veins, secret realms, or special means have probably already been unable to hold back and have begun to appear in the world.

The Six Paths Immortal Alliance is likely a union of these ancient sects with long histories, possessing secret techniques and resources unknown to others.

The Great Yan Dynasty sounds like a gathering of independent cultivators, but its rapid rise to power and dominance in this chaotic world must be backed by some extraordinary old monsters or hidden forces, making it absolutely not to be underestimated.

As for the Black Temple...

The description in the jade tube was vague, yet it exuded a chilling aura.

It seems to have absorbed the darkest and most sinister part of the legacy and power of the Land of Absolute Spirits since ancient times, acting without any bottom line, mysterious and unpredictable, and vindictive.

The jade tube was specially marked: "Better to provoke the Immortal Alliance than to provoke the Demon Palace!"

Anyone who opposes them often dies an inexplicable and tragic death.

"Hmph, a bunch of selfish bastards!" Lin Fengmian sneered inwardly.

"When the spiritual energy is depleted, he hides and pretends to be dead. He even forcibly digs out the spiritual veins of this desolate place and takes them for himself. When the seal of the Demon Abyss is in danger, he disappears without a trace."

If it weren't for Miaoxue, a woman, enduring immense pressure and guarding the front lines for centuries, exhausting the entire resources of Fengming Kingdom, how would you have the opportunity to reap the rewards today?

"Do we have to wait until the demons actually launch an attack, until the situation is dire, before we start to panic?"

Lin Fengmian put down the jade tube, turned his gaze to the sea of ​​clouds rushing past outside the shuttle, and began to calmly calculate in his mind.

To be honest, he longed to return to the Xuanling Continent every moment.

Although he was accompanied by beautiful women in the Land of Desolation, and had new bonds and responsibilities, it was there that was his true starting point, where he had a deeper attachment.

With this in mind, Lin Fengmian's goal became even clearer—

First, help Su Miaoyun stabilize the situation in the Land of Absolute Spirits!

Now that things are peaceful here and the threat from the Demon Abyss has been brought under control, he can leave without any worries.

Secondly, do your best to find your mother's whereabouts!

This has always been a knot in his heart.

However, neither of these two things is easy.

To contend with the other three major forces and search for the faintest clues to escape... the road ahead is long and arduous.

"You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time."

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent thoughts, and his eyes regained their firmness and sharpness.

"Right now, let's meet these so-called ancient geniuses and demons in this grand competition!"

"For my wife's sake... let's first reclaim control of this desolate land!"

The shuttle flies through the clouds and mist, speeding across the heavens.

The sea of ​​clouds surged like waves, but was pierced by the sharp tip of the flying shuttle, turning into two wisps of drifting mist that rushed backward.

The light inside the cabin flickered, and a faint halo flowed across the spirit-patterned windows, cutting the outside sunlight into tiny specks of light that spilled onto the cabin floor.

Lin Fengmian, who had just been deep in thought with his eyes closed and whose aura was somewhat heavy, now seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.

He slowly opened his eyes.

At that instant, Xiao Yun'er, who was sitting quietly opposite him, pouring tea with her delicate hands, trembled almost imperceptibly with her jade-like fingers holding the teapot.

Lin Fengmian's eyes, which were usually three parts lazy and seven parts unruly, suddenly flashed with a cold light that pierced straight to the heart.

In that gaze, there was a cold ruthlessness of decisiveness, a sharpness that looked down upon the world, and an indescribable...ambition.

Like a sharp sword that has been sealed for many years, it has finally been drawn.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yun'er's clear, snow-white eyes.

She hadn't known Lin Fengmian for very long, but she had seen him talk and laugh, seen him joke around, seen him feign grievance, and seen him be gentle and affectionate.

But I've never seen him look like that before.

It was as if a peerless divine sword, long dormant, was slowly being drawn from its sheath, its sharpness just beginning to emerge.

The cold light flashed by in an instant, and Lin Fengmian quickly returned to his usual lazy and casual demeanor, picked up the spirit tea that Xiao Ling'er pushed over, and took a sip.

"Good tea."

He smiled and praised him, as if the sharpness he had shown just moments before had never existed.

Xiao Yun'er lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Xiao Ling'er had seen Lin Fengmian's carefree and irreverent demeanor before.

She had seen him approach her with a grin, teasing others with his glib tongue;

I've seen him lounging lazily in a bamboo chair, with an air of nonchalance, as if the sky were falling and he'd use it as a blanket.

I've seen him blink his eyes in a feigned pitiful way to win people's favor.

She had also witnessed his decisive, ruthless moments.

On the life-or-death stage, his sword strike against Lin Fengchen was as indifferent as water.

Xiao Ling'er rarely saw him so purely serious.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian sat upright at the tail of the shuttle, his back straight as a pine tree, his gaze fixed on the surging sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

The usual three parts laziness and seven parts unruliness in his eyes were gone, replaced by an almost cold focus and concentration.

Those eyes, usually always filled with a smile, were now unfathomable, as if they held something unsettling.

There is sharpness, ambition, decisiveness, and a kind of youthful wildness and stubbornness that will not turn back until hitting a wall.

In this state, Lin Fengmian possessed a unique and distinctive masculine charm.

Like a sword drawn from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed; or like a bow drawn but not yet released.

Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This guy... when he gets serious, he really does seem quite convincing."

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"only……"

"It's just a pity that he's not serious much; he's far too unserious most of the time!"

She silently added to herself, her lips curving slightly, almost imperceptibly, so slightly that even she herself might not have noticed.

……

Meanwhile, on the Xuan Tian Continent, in the southern region of Qingzhou.

Hehuan Sect.

Since the Yin-Yang Five Elements Zhou Tian Grand Array left by Lin Fengmian before his departure was put in place to protect the mountain gate, the entire sect has been as if it were held in the palm of an invisible giant hand, making it as solid as a rock.

The great array of spiritual energy circulated day and night, absorbing all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles, making the spiritual energy within the Hehuan Sect so dense that it almost solidified.

Furthermore, after the Supreme Elder Chu Qingyi completely merged with her divided soul, her strength increased dramatically, and her methods became swift and powerful.
