At the very least, when he had quietly journeyed from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm, he had sensed a powerful aura. If he hadn't been wary of disturbing that presence, how could those two shapely women have slipped through his grasp? Thus, Yuan maintained an extremely low profile—he had to, for himself and for his kin.

But now, with a few Sky-level humans offering themselves up, he wouldn't mind indulging a little, absorbing the power of these masters to quickly restore the energy he expended during the teleportation process.

Just as Yuan was busy eradicating the Venerable-level experts of the Ancient Fei Continent, far away in the Blue Dream Marsh in the southern reaches of the Southern Desolate Forest, the massive form of Zhuo Long lay sprawling, surrounded by swirling blue mist, making the entire scene appear dreamlike and illusory.

A gigantic white tiger also rested nearby. This tiger was only equivalent to a Sixth-Grade Savage Beast, yet in the face of Zhuo Long’s immense pressure, it displayed not an ounce of concern.

Perched atop the tiger's back sat a small figure, a miniature person covered in white fur.

Besides them, sitting quietly to the left of the White Tiger were two incomparably beautiful women: Gongsun Xiangyi and Medusa, who had arrived from the Demon Realm.

“Thank you for saving us, Senior!” Gongsun Xiangyi and Medusa spoke in unison, their faces still showing signs of lingering shock. Gongsun Xiangyi, especially, had initially believed that with an expert of the Demon King level accompanying her, her safety would be guaranteed. Who knew they would encounter such a formidable figure? Even the mighty Medusa couldn't withstand a single move from him? If they hadn't fled quickly, if this Senior hadn't directly ushered them over, who knew what would have transpired?

When had such a powerful being appeared in the Human Realm?

“Do you know who attacked you?” The small figure paid no heed to their thanks, merely asking in a flat tone.

“Please forgive my ignorance, Senior, but I do not know who that person was. I am merely perplexed—when did the Human Realm acquire such a powerful figure?” Medusa was the one who spoke.

“That person is not from the Human Realm,” the little white figure gently shook his head, his eyes filled with worry.

“But there aren't figures of that caliber in the Demon Realm either!” Medusa expressed some surprise.

“Nor is he from the Demon Realm. If my guess is correct, he should be from… there…” The little figure spoke softly, but upon hearing this, Medusa was struck with shock. There? Could it be the Abyss?

Had the demons from the Abyss truly descended upon this plane?

“Queen Medusa, I need you to relay this message to that brat Ye Jingyu. Tell him to be cautious!” The little figure said lightly, his gaze upon Medusa holding a trace of something different.

Seeing the peculiar look in his eyes, Medusa understood his thoughts immediately. It was nothing more than the demonic blood flowing within her; he couldn't fully trust her. But was this something she could choose? With a soft sigh, Medusa stood up, offered a salute to the little figure, and turned to leave.

No matter what, she was still herself; she only needed to act according to her own heart.

“Senior, what about me?” Seeing Medusa depart so easily, Gongsun Xiang, who constantly yearned for Ye Jingyu, asked anxiously.

She knew the little figure before her was a supreme master, and the fact that he could name Ye Jingyu directly implied a profound connection. How could she not show respect?

“I know you desperately wish to see Ye Jingyu right now, but given your current cultivation, do you honestly believe you can help him if you reach his side?” The little figure looked at Gongsun Xiangyi, speaking with heartfelt earnestness.

Hearing this, Gongsun Xiangyi’s eyes immediately dimmed. Right, with her current strength, what could she possibly offer her Young Master? If she reached him, she would only be a burden.

“If you wish to help him, then stay here peacefully. I will make you his greatest asset. Are… you willing?” the little figure murmured softly.

Gongsun Xiangyi looked up at the little figure. Seeing the sharp, brilliant light in his eyes, she nodded forcefully. Even if her longing for her Young Master was intense, what use was returning to his side if she couldn't assist him? This Senior before her was immensely powerful; if he said this, there must be reason behind it.

Seeing Gongsun Xiangyi nod, the little figure smiled with satisfaction. He pulled out a scroll from nowhere and exhaled upon it. The previously static image instantly sprang to life, displaying another world before Gongsun Xiangyi’s eyes, much like watching a film.

A beam of pure light shot out and enveloped Gongsun Xiangyi. Then, under her gaze of horror, her body moved toward the picture scroll.

“You possess exceptional talent in the field of alchemy. I shall transmit the Heavenly Origin Elixir Canon to you. When you achieve mastery, I will release you…” The little figure’s voice echoed at that moment, accompanied by an elixir scripture Gongsun Xiangyi had never even seen before—a scripture of ultimate profundity.

As Gongsun Xiangyi entered the painting, two figures emerged from within the scroll. If Ye Jingyu were present, he would be stunned speechless, for these two were none other than Dugu Bacheng and Xuanyuan Jue, who should have been dead. However, both men now had entirely white hair, their faces extremely aged, making them look like men near the end of their lives.

“Teacher…” Upon exiting the scroll, both men respectfully saluted the little figure.

Seeing their aged countenances, the little figure sighed heavily. Even with his immense divine powers, both Xuanyuan Jue and Dugu Bacheng had burned their souls that day. Although only partially burned, he still could not fully restore them.

“One day in the outside world equals one year within the scroll. Cultivating for several hundred years inside has finally returned your strengths to their former levels, but…” The little figure trailed off.

Incomplete souls—even for these two exceptionally gifted individuals, even with the abundant spiritual energy within the scroll and their diet of spirit medicine and nectar, they could, at most, only elevate their cultivation back to their former realm. To advance further was fundamentally impossible unless their souls could be mended.

“Teacher, please do not dwell on it. This is already the best possible outcome for us!” Dugu Bacheng spoke simultaneously. To be reborn was already an immense fortune; to recover their former cultivation was an unparalleled blessing. How could they ask for more?

“Alas, forget it, forget it. Everything in this world is fate. Perhaps this is simply destiny. I have informed you of what has transpired; how you proceed is up to you to decide,” the little figure sighed heavily.

“We both plan to go to Qin Mountain in the Demon Realm!” Dugu Bacheng and Xuanyuan Jue stated without the slightest hesitation.

Hearing their words, a flicker of surprise crossed the little figure’s eyes. After all, they had only lived for just over three hundred years and knew nothing of the events of the Primordial Era. Their entire lives had been dedicated to the struggle for the freedom of the Dou Hun Continent, yet now they discovered that this freedom was utterly insignificant compared to the survival of the entire human race.

To suddenly abandon their original beliefs was difficult enough, yet the little figure hadn't expected them to make such a swift decision.

“Then go. I only hope nothing untoward happens to Yu Luosha. With the three of you guarding that place, they shouldn’t be able to come over again anytime soon,” the little figure sighed softly.

Dugu Bacheng and Xuanyuan Jue exchanged a look and nodded. However, just as they were about to depart, Dugu Bacheng suddenly asked, “Teacher, before we leave, could you tell us your identity?”

Hearing Dugu Bacheng’s question, the little figure visibly froze, and Zhuo Long beside him also paused…
