72: Chapter 72 Mother and Daughter Reunited

Cao Yang sat down cross-legged and spread out his immortal sense, beginning to search for the remaining members of the Sea Clan Shrine. However, for some reason, he did not find any traces at all.

"Xinyue, I haven't discovered any traces of your clansmen. Perhaps your mother used some heavy treasure to place your clan's spark within it, which is why I couldn't find them," Cao Yang said as he stood up.

Hearing Cao Yang's words, Xu Xinyue felt a bit down, thinking that if even Brother Cao couldn't find them, it would probably be even harder for her to find them in the future. Moreover, she had a premonition that her mother might have already undergone Reincarnation and Rebirth! Thinking of this, she secretly made up her mind that no matter what the cost, she must find her mother's Reincarnation!

"Let's search one place at a time. With my strength, it won't take more than a few days. Moreover, if your mother has successfully undergone Reincarnation, you might feel a connection when you are close by," Cao Yang said softly, seeing Xu Xinyue's low spirits.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Cao." Xu Xinyue looked at Cao Yang gratefully and revealed a determined smile.

"Why are you thanking me? You are already mine," Cao Yang said, pulling Xu Xinyue into his embrace.

Xu Xinyue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she softly said, "Mm."

Cao Yang began to hold Xu Xinyue's slender waist, appearing continuously in various places across the South Sea. At every place they stopped, he would earnestly search with his immortal sense, while Xu Xinyue also carefully sensed for any abnormalities.

Slowly, another three days passed. The two had searched nine-tenths of the sea area, yet still had no findings.

Only the last tenth remained unsearched, and Cao Yang clearly felt that Xu Xinyue was becoming impatient.

"Xinyue, don't be impatient. Perhaps your clansmen are just in the places we haven't searched yet," Cao Yang said, rubbing Xu Xinyue's shoulder.

"Mm, Brother Cao, I'm worried that my mother and the others might have used a forbidden technique to escape to another place. If that's the case, I might never be able to find my mother," Xu Xinyue said with some worry.

"That won't happen. We will definitely find them," Cao Yang comforted her. He knew that Xu Xinyue was feeling very anxious at the moment, but he could only do his best to comfort her. After all, they had searched most of the sea area; if they really couldn't find them, it could only mean that Xu Xinyue's clansmen were not there. But he didn't want Xu Xinyue to lose hope, so he kept trying to find clues.

"But..." Xu Xinyue stopped herself, the unease in her heart growing stronger.

"Xinyue, rest assured. I am very strong now; I have already reached the Immortal Emperor Rank, and I will become even stronger in the future. No matter where your mother has reincarnated, I guarantee that we will be able to find her," Cao Yang said, telling her about his Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Rank to put her at ease.

"Really? Brother Cao, didn't you just reach the Immortal King Rank?" Xu Xinyue looked at Cao Yang with wide, disbelieving eyes, her mood clearly improved.

"Of course. Your Brother Cao is no ordinary person; my Breakthroughs are very fast," Cao Yang said confidently.

Looking at Xu Xinyue, whose mood had improved significantly, Cao Yang said, "Xinyue, let's hurry and search the remaining places."

"Okay, Brother Cao." Xu Xinyue took the initiative to take Cao Yang's hand.

They arrived at the southernmost end of the South Sea, a vast and boundless ocean where the end could not be seen at a glance. Cao Yang and Xu Xinyue stayed here for a long time, carefully searching every inch of land.

Finally, they discovered something unusual on a small scorched island.

It was clearly just an ordinary scorched island with no vegetation or living creatures, which made Cao Yang feel very strange. He used his immortal sense to scan the entire island but did not find any abnormalities.

However, this eerie atmosphere made them decide to go ashore personally to investigate.

When they stepped onto the island, a familiar feeling immediately welled up in Cao Yang's heart. However, he could not recall the source of this feeling for a moment, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

This small island was only about five hundred miles in radius, which was insignificant compared to the vast South Sea.

The two began to search the island carefully, and Cao Yang was surprised to find that his immortal sense could only extend six hundred meters here.

Considering the potential danger, he did not dare to easily separate from Xu Xinyue. After half a day of work, they finally found a huge black hole with a diameter of ten meters.

Cao Yang did not feel any aura of danger, so the two cautiously walked into this black hole. The passage was pitch black, and even though Cao Yang used his Void-Breaking Immortal Eye, he still could not see the scene ahead clearly.

He could only rely on his immortal sense to explore the surrounding environment, while Xu Xinyue could only see a few meters ahead. Cao Yang held Xu Xinyue's hand tightly, moving slowly in the darkness, as if they would never reach the end.

Cao Yang decided to go back and see if there was any way to increase the Rank of his Void-Breaking Immortal Eye; otherwise, it was becoming increasingly useless.

After walking for a long time, Cao Yang and Xu Xinyue finally saw a glimmer of light. Both felt a surge of joy and continued walking forward.

Emerging from the black hole, a brand-new world appeared before Cao Yang and the others. It was full of life and vitality, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, high mountains and green waters, dense forests, and endless oceans—everything was there. Apart from a large number of Sea Clan people, there were countless other living creatures, but there was no sign of humans.

This world looked very beautiful and peaceful, making one feel relaxed and happy.

This was a Minor Thousand Worlds that was even more suitable for Cultivation than the Tianxuan Realm!

When Cao Yang's immortal sense swept across the entire Minor Thousand Worlds, all living creatures felt a powerful pressure, and they prostrated themselves on the ground in terror, shivering!

Even those few Heavenly Immortal experts were no exception!

Soon, Cao Yang discovered a young girl who looked seventy percent like Xu Xinyue in a Spirit Medicine shop in a small city; she was busy working.

After observing, he was certain that this young girl was the Reincarnation of Xu Xinyue's mother—Ye Xiaoyao.

At this moment, she only had a Golden Core Early Stage cultivation base.

"Xinyue, I have found your mother's Reincarnation," Cao Yang said excitedly to Xu Xinyue.

Hearing this, Xu Xinyue's eyes welled up with tears of excitement.

"Mm, Brother Cao, I see her too. Let's hurry over," Xu Xinyue said impatiently.

For some reason, the suppression of immortal sense within the Minor Thousand Worlds had disappeared.

Thus, the two instantly arrived in front of Ye Xiaoyao, giving her a big fright.

When she saw Xu Xinyue, who looked very much like her, she was stunned and froze in place.

Xu Xinyue immediately ran over and hugged Ye Xiaoyao, tears streaming down her face.

Looking at the Fairy in her arms who looked just like her, Ye Xiaoyao thought to herself: How could another version of myself appear?

Before she could speak, the woman in her arms was saying incoherently, "Mother, I have finally found you..."
