Xu Chen and Qingyin continued their journey on the Meng Yan country.

"Hmm?" Xu Chen’s mind moved, "Surprisingly, it's possible?"

"What's wrong?" Qingyin asked.

Xu Chen said, "Qingyin, look who's here!"

"Who?"

After a moment, two streams of light appeared on the deck, Devol and Yule emerged from the light.

"What!" Qingyin exclaimed, "Yule! Empress Sister! How did you guys come here?"

"Qingyin! It's been so long..." Yule excitedly rushed over and hugged Qingyin.

"Hehe, it's been quite a while..." Qingyin felt a bit puzzled, thinking that they had only been separated for a few months.

However, Yule had experienced countless epochs with Xu Chen in the consciousness void. Although Qingyin knew this, she couldn't fully understand it.

"But, even Xu Chen, who is Meng Yan country, can't travel through the void. How can you come from the Demonic Capital to here?" Qingyin questioned in confusion.

Yule smiled and said, "Take a look at this!"

Devol produced a golden card with his own image in his hand, "This card is from Xu Chen's nameless book. It has a special function that allows me to hold this card and teleport to Xu Chen's meeting world from anywhere, as long as it is not confined by the void. However, in order to bring others, we need the recognition of the meeting space. In order to establish a connection with the meeting space, we need to comprehend the most basic origin of the heart. Empress Sister spent some time on this, and then we both arrived at the meeting space. After arriving at the meeting space, we naturally can come out from the entrance of Xu Chen's ancient book."

"I see!" Qingyin suddenly realized. Suddenly, she felt a burst of joy and pulled Xu Chen's hand, saying, "Xu Chen, why don't I have this card?"

Yule has it, but she doesn't, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"This card can only teleport the holder back to the meeting world from any place not restricted by the void. Qingyin, there is no need for you to have it for now, and the process of crafting this card is very complicated, requiring your cooperation. Plus, the recent situation is critical, so I didn't have the time to craft it for you!" Xu Chen explained.

"Oh? No time to make it for me, but have time to make it for Yule." Qingyin turned away and said.

"Well... this one was already made before!" Xu Chen explained.

"But Xu Chen, if we encounter danger, this card can be used to escape, especially if we are forcibly separated from you or caught. How can you say it is unnecessary?" Qingyin argued.

"Um, I didn't consider that!" Xu Chen suddenly realized, "Alright, Qingyin, after we rescue Star Dance, I will craft it for you!"

"The wedding is still seven days away! We should be prepared for the battle. Isn't that right?" Qingyin asked again.

"No, Qingyin, I don't plan to wait until the wedding to rescue Star Dance. By then, the powerful beings from the heavens, demons, and humans will all gather. Regardless of their factions, they will definitely unite to deal with us outsiders, posing a great threat to our rescue mission. It's better to infiltrate the Dreamfall City in advance!" Xu Chen said.

"I see!" Since Xu Chen had such a plan, Qingyin no longer insisted.

"It only takes one day to sail from here to the Tower to the Heavens. Let's replenish our energy and prepare for the upcoming battle!" Sakiko said.

"Okay!" The girls had their own conversations and went back to their rooms.

The next day, the flying ship flew into an abyss of fog that seemed endless.

However, within the fog, there were incredibly thick eighty-eight copper pillars straight into the sky!

"This is..." Xu Chen remembered those huge copper pillars. Suddenly, he had a strange feeling. He jumped off the flying ship and flew towards one of the copper pillars, where a half-carved pattern was seen in the middle of the pillar.

Xu Chen touched the patterns and was reminded of the scene he saw when he first arrived in the enchanting realm. Izayoi, alone and poorly dressed, tirelessly carving the towering pillar. Looking at the patterns, he could also feel the intricate marks left by Izayoi's skilled chiseling, which seemed to reveal a kind of soulful anguish.

"Izayoi..." Xu Chen couldn't help but shed tears. This was the place where Izayoi's soul fluctuation disappeared, but now there was no trace of him.

"Xu Chen, let's go." Qingyin came to Xu Chen's side, saying nothing, but holding his hand. "For now, it's more important to save Sister Star Dance."

"Alright..." With no leads regarding Izayoi, Xu Chen reluctantly looked at the carved patterns on the copper pillar and turned away.

The flying vessel ascended along the massive copper pillars.

After flying for about half the day, they finally saw a gigantic hemisphere amidst the pillars.

As they flew closer, they discovered a colossal city with a hemispherical base. Palaces and towers dotted the city, displaying a peculiar style. In the center of the city, there was a magnificent and imposing tower that pierced the sky!

"Halt, who goes there!" Four fierce-looking demon warriors in skull-shaped armors, each possessing the strength of a demon sovereign, flew over to block their way.

Xu Chen stood on the deck and took out a black invitation card.

The invitation card was a treasure. Although Xu Chen had crushed it in anger earlier, he restored it using his divine power.

"Ah, it turns out you are a guest attending the grand wedding of the Dreamland Lord's son. Please, go ahead!" The demon warriors glanced at the invitation card and immediately made way.

After all, Xu Chen still hadn't found the whereabouts of Sister Star Dance and didn't want to alert the enemy. It would be troublesome if Sister Star Dance was relocated again!
