In front of the bonfire, Yuanhui roasted three wild chickens that had just been caught, with the fur removed and now crispy and golden.

"Cluck cluck..."

The giant bear sat behind me and Yuanhui like a child, its eyes fixed on the three wild chickens, drooling, and its stomach grumbling in anticipation.

"I didn't expect Brother Wu to have such culinary skills, I thought..."

"What did you think? Did you think cooking is only a task for women?"

Yuanhui tore a piece of chicken meat from the roasted chicken, tasted it, and then handed one to me, gesturing for me to enjoy it.

"Oh my, I have never tasted anything like this, mmm... delicious!"

Before I met Yuanhui, I had been living on the road, even under the strict supervision of my senior sister, I hadn't had a proper meal for a long time. Master Ling Yizi even said it was a kind of bitter-sweet memory.

Rarely did Yuanhui know how to cook over a fire, and it allowed me to enjoy a good meal.

The giant bear sitting behind licked its fingers, looking at Yuanhui with a pitiful expression, longing to take a bite of the roasted chicken.

Yuanhui glanced at Alei, shook his head with a smile, and threw another freshly roasted chicken at it, saying, "Why be polite? This one is for you to eat!"

"Roar!"

As soon as it caught the chicken, it immediately started devouring it greedily. Seeing its size, Yuanhui gave it the largest one, but it still swallowed it in five or six bites.

After these interactions, Yuanhui also realized that he was not a bad person, on the contrary, he was simple and straightforward, without any ulterior motives.

"Hehe, eat slowly, be careful not to hurt yourself, Young Master Ye of the Ye Family."

"Huh?!"

The roasted chicken in my hand suddenly suspended in mid-air, and I was almost frozen in place.

"I wonder what Brother Wu means by this."

"What do I mean? Isn't it obvious..."

Yuanhui lightly tapped Juxi's back and bluntly said, "From what I know, ever since the Ye Family retreated from the struggle in Central Plains, they ordered their disciples not to take a step outside the Northern Region. During the closure of Tieling Pass in the past few years, rumors spread in the Shadowless Pavilion that you were the only one who managed to leave, forced into seclusion on the mainland for many years by Lord Ye. The eldest Young Master of the Ye Family!"

Hoo--!

A nameless gust of wind swept through the cave, and a snow-white bead grazed Yuanhui's cheek, scaring him into a cold sweat.

"Oh my, I almost lost my life there!"

Drip!

A drop of blood grazed the side of the bead and evaporated as soon as it landed on the ground, leaving no trace.

"Tsk tsk, you have a unique fragrance on your body, it seems that it doesn't come from those women in the Capital who wear makeup."

"..."

I didn't say anything, just continued to release my Resolute Sea Divine Bead in my hand. Every time it emitted an incredibly rich spiritual energy, its power was enough to reverse the flow of the river. It seemed that the Wind Ling Pavilion's techniques were acting as a supplement in it.

At this point, I have to say that my transformation seems to have had no impact on this world, but rather forcibly corrected me to a normal state.

Especially in the design aspect of my imperfect cultivation, it once again restored me. When I returned here once again, I felt that I had already become light and agile, and with a flick of my hand, I could easily send Yuanhui flying away!

"I didn't expect that Fengling Pavilion and Wuying Pavilion would come up with this method to fight against the Wushi clan of the Central Plains. I wonder whose idea it was?"

"Your voice?!"

Yuanhui's voice suddenly changed, which caught me off guard.

Just a moment ago, it was the voice of a child, and now it has become the voice of an elderly person?

"Oh, why did you stop attacking? Are the two pavilions so fearless after all these years?"

"What are you talking about?"

I gritted my teeth and shouted at the box hanging from my waist.

"Long Ling, if you don't act now, I'll be doomed!"

"Long Ling?!"

As soon as my words fell, Long Ling emerged from the box and immediately knelt in front of Yuanhui, saying, "Junior Long Ling pays respects to Grandfather Hua!"

"...Grandfather Hua?!" Yuanhui was greatly surprised in his heart.

"Hahaha, what's so strange about that? Who said there can only be one Dragon Emperor?"

Wuxian emerged from Yuanhui's body with a smile, looking quite timid and fearful in front of everyone.

However... um, this Dragon Emperor seems a bit pathetic, doesn't he?

"Don't mind it. I am already in the twilight years, and what stands before you is just one of my avatars from the past! However, speaking of avatars, fortunately, I cultivated a true body rather than a cultivator's body, which is tempered through countless trials!"

"True body?!" Long Ling was surprised. Only Yuanhui and I, the younger generation, were unaware of what a true body was.

So, Long Ling explained it to them in detail.

"The so-called true body is rarely known on the continent. Not to mention cultivation methods, even the knowledge of this method of cultivating an immortal true body is scarce. It seems that my grandfather's cultivation of the true body is not just a legend."

"Haha, of course not! Only a few top cultivators, even those at the pinnacle of the Boundary Stage, could reach the stage of destroying the true body, let alone cultivators."

During the time when Wuxian existed, the continent's forces were surging and the spiritual energy was abundant. Many talented cultivators opened up new spaces during that era. In the land beneath those spaces, many cultivators in the late Boundary Stage rushed to that paradise.

But for certain situations, those cultivators in the mid-stage of the Boundary Stage could only sigh at their unfortunate fate.

"That's right, there has never been a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Boundary Stage in the legends of cultivators. And some who can reach the mid-stage of the Boundary Stage are just in their twilight years."

I took over the conversation. After all, I came from a prestigious family and had a rough idea of the continent's history. But I dared not ask about the rest of the matters, fearing that it would bring disaster.

"Well, it seems that your bravery is just like a sesame seed, just as I thought."

No wonder Yuanhui also found it strange. Every time he noticed me, his body would experience unnecessary pain.

"It turns out to be Senior Longhua!!!"

Although I didn't know much about Longhua, anyone who mentioned the creator of this world was well-known under the sky!

Encountering such a troublesome guy today, the outcome should be...

"Grandpa Hua, you are now just a lingering soul. How can you nourish me, a younger generation, and become my source of nourishment?"

After saying that, Long Ling suddenly jumped into the air and grabbed towards Long Hua's neck.

Having already sensed something strange about Long Ling, who was also a peak expert at the Immortal Emperor realm, Long Hua was prepared. However, Long Ling's recovery ability was not as simple as that of a lingering soul.

Despite having a substantial advantage in foundations over Long Ling, Long Hua was still inferior in cultivation.

Before Yuanhui and I could react in surprise, two soul fluctuations began fighting fiercely in the sky.

For a moment, the entire sky started to crumble. It was truly a battle between peak experts! Although they did not possess the same power as before, the two sides were evenly matched, except that Long Ling consistently fought with all her might while Long Hua could only continuously evade her attacks, remaining at a disadvantage.

As the battle intensified, I could already see that Yuanhui, who was slightly weaker, had been knocked away!

And me...

I fared a little better, but not by much!!

Aaaaah!!!

With a series of screams, I was carried into the sky, desperately grabbing at nothing.

"Help...Help me!"

When I suddenly opened my eyes, I found myself lying in the treehouse. There was no one around.

What... What happened?

I remembered everything that had happened before I lost consciousness, as if it had just occurred.

"Yu Nai, don't you think we don't quite fit in with everyone?" I said.

"What? Wait... What are you saying?!" (Heart pounding suddenly)

"Hey, lower your voice!"

"No, everybody is..." (Blushing, heart pounding)

"I know everyone is here, but when you say it like that... I just can't accept it." (Starting to feel something)

"Have you already figured it out? I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but it seems we're on the same page."

"Re...Really!? If it's your idea..." (Heart stopping)

"Well, since we both feel like something's off with everyone, it means you're not imaginary!"

"Huh?" (Heart attack)

"I mean! I feel like everyone isn't real, like they were carved out of a program. It feels strange, like maybe we're still in a dream."

Although these things sounded absurd, they were deeply engraved in my memory, so much so that I could confirm they had actually happened.

Yet, the memories from the other world felt like a vivid dream, but I had almost no recollection of them.

"Um..." I slowly sat up from the bed and said, "Why can't I remember anything?"

"... " No one answered my question. Even if I was speaking to myself, there was still no response.

This made me feel strange. There shouldn't be no one in the room, right?

I walked out of the library but didn't see any familiar figures. In fact, they were all faceless people!

Among them, I always felt a sense of existence. Could this be...

"Is this the breakthrough?" I whispered to myself in my mind.
