836: Xingxi Yao

"Then I won't go, Senior Brother. I plan to venture into the Middle Immortal Realm. Revered Master said the Middle Immortal Realm holds my opportunity." Bujie said after pondering for a moment.

"Alright, be careful then. I will go to the Middle Immortal Realm eventually, and we can meet there again." Yang Lingchen patted Bujie's shoulder.

He was still a bit reluctant about Bujie's departure. During the time they spent together, they had forged a deep bond.

But all good things must come to an end. Yang Lingchen still had many things to do, and constantly bringing Bujie along would be somewhat inconvenient and might even implicate him.

The two then parted ways. Yang Lingchen flew toward the Star Pavilion, while Bujie flew toward the Middle Immortal Realm... Eastern Immortal Domain, Qiao'an City.

In the Qiao Family Inner Court, a middle-aged man wearing a purple, patterned robe was drinking tea.

This middle-aged man drinking tea was precisely the Qiao Family Patriarch, Qiao Zhenye.

"Patriarch, the Young Miss has been apprehended and is currently on her way back." Just then, a guard walked in.

"This girl is truly mischievous. Make sure you keep a close watch on her; don't let her run away again." Qiao Zhenye said.

"Yes, Patriarch." The guard respectfully replied... Canglan Immortal Dynasty, Crown Princes Residence.

A young man wearing a dark-colored, narrow-sleeved python robe was leisurely enjoying the scenery in the courtyard.

His gaze was deep, and his handsome features naturally exuded a formidable aura, making people hesitant to look directly at him.

This person was precisely the Crown Prince of the Canglan Immortal Dynasty, Baili Jianyun.

"Your Highness, news has arrived from Qiao'an City: Qiao Yanxi has been found, and her virginity is perfectly intact." A Eunuch respectfully reported.

"Hmm!" Baili Jianyun asked calmly, "What about Ji Tiantian? Is there any news of her?"

"Your Highness, this Servant has something he is unsure whether he should say." The Eunuch respectfully said.

"Just say it!" Baili Jianyun waved his hand and said.

"According to reports from those below, Ji Tiantian has returned to Jitian City, but she has lost her virginity, which is why the Ji Family did not proactively send us the news," the Eunuch said.

"The Ji Family! Ji Tiantian, hmph!" A faint smile touched the corner of Baili Jianyun's mouth.

Although he appeared to be smiling, an invisible Killing Intent emanated from his body.

"Who did it?"

A moment later, a cold light suddenly shot out from Baili Jianyun's eyes.

"A student from the East Immortal Academy named Yang Lingchen."

The Eunuch then meticulously recounted Yang Lingchen's information and handed Yang Lingchen's portrait to Baili Jianyun.

"Hmm! His talent is decent! Too bad he has the look of someone destined for a short life!"

Baili Jianyun chuckled softly, his sharp eyes coldly staring at Yang Lingchen's portrait. After a moment, he said, "Since they have returned, the wedding date remains the same!"

"How should we deal with Yang Lingchen?" the Eunuch asked cautiously.

"That kid has a decent forehead. It should make a good teapot. We'll use it as a betrothal gift for Ji Tiantian." Baili Jianyun's gaze was sharp, and a hint of cold mockery curled his lips.

"This Servant understands!" The Eunuch respectfully replied, then retreated slowly with light steps... Lingshan Temple.

"Heavenly Hao Demon Venerable, even if this humble monk departs, you still won't be able to rule this world."

Ru Tian was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat. His body gradually withered, and soon, at a speed visible to the naked eye, he completely vanished from this world.

Following Ru Tian's disappearance, Lingshan Temple instantly turned to dust, vanishing completely from this world along with Ru Tian... Northern Demon Domain.

Inside a mysterious mountain cave, a tall, well-built middle-aged man with deep eyes suddenly opened them.

If Yang Lingchen had been present, he definitely would have recognized the man, as this person was precisely Yang Haotian.

"Gahahaha...! Ru Tian, you bald donkey, you have fallen after all. This time, I'd like to see who can stop me from unifying the Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm again." A sinister smile played on Yang Haotian's lips... Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this half month, Yang Lingchen did not continue his challenges.

With his current strength, it was already extremely difficult to further improve his ranking on the prodigy ranking list.

On this day, Yang Lingchen finally arrived in the territory controlled by the Star Pavilion.

Upon arriving in this area, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart. Perhaps this was because Xing Xiyao had once stayed here.

"Xiyao, I'm here. Where are you?"

"How have you been these past few years?"

"Whether you are still alive in this world or not, I must tell you: you are my, Yang Lingchen's, woman—for all eternity. Even if I have to pierce this firmament, I will find you and bring you back.

Yang Lingchen held the sound transmission jade Xing Xiyao had left him, muttering to himself.

A hundred thousand miles away.

Inside a beautiful mountain peak environment, a white-haired old woman held a sound transmission jade with trembling hands. A bitter smile appeared on her face, and a crystal tear slid from her eye.

She had originally thought she had forgotten him, but the moment his voice sounded from the sound transmission jade, a sudden flicker of emotion crossed her heart.

However, thinking of her current appearance, she abandoned the idea of meeting him again.

What you cannot obtain is always the best. Rather than letting him see her current aged appearance, it was better to let him forever remember her most beautiful side... Yang Lingchen stayed near the Star Pavilion for a full half month.

During this half month, he constantly wandered around the Star Pavilion, simultaneously gathering information about Xing Xiyao.

However, to his disappointment, Xing Xiyao seemed to have never existed; many Star Pavilion Disciples did not even know who Xing Xiyao was.

After all, the era when Xing Xiyao served as the Pavilion Master was hundreds of millions of years ago, so the younger generation naturally wouldn't remember her.

"Xiyao, I'm leaving. Don't worry, I will definitely find you and bring you back." Yang Lingchen murmured softly into the sound transmission jade.

Now, all he could do was quickly raise his cultivation level. Only then would he have a chance to find Xing Xiyao.
