Isn't that from the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, then I discovered something. There's a river similar to that one flowing into the void, and it's quite unusual,\" Gu Changsheng explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A similar river has flowed to the senior's Land of Exile?\" Lady Bi Zhu was somewhat astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, and this river is no simple matter; it feels strange, like it can draw people into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where it leads to is also hard to say.\" After a moment of silence, Gu Changsheng continued: \"I suspect that some unknown species wants to use this river to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, you can't seal it off?\" Lady Bi Zhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I put it, it flows, and even if I prevent it from flowing down from here, it can still flow elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it's not the only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It feels different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's getting somewhat extraordinary,\" Gu Changsheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If even the senior can't comprehend it, is there danger for you?\" Lady Bi Zhu immediately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really, I have successfully condensed the Dao fruit and completed the task of my era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I am now, I'm invulnerable to all Dharma, but I still can't return to the current world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Great Era is not yet ready for me,\" Gu Changsheng declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu showed her understanding: \"I'll go and help the senior look up some information, you mustn't act rashly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu worried it might be related to a certain existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've had a secret for a long time that you dare not speak of, are you worried it's related to the secret you know of?\" Gu Changsheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu did not speak, not daring to say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changsheng did not press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withdrawing her spirit, Lady Bi Zhu began to wait for the next gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's been a long time since a gathering occurred, and she didn't know when Jing would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairy guard Zhang said that he had entered a strange place, the nature of which was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had also visited the Heavenly Note Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi was fine, but Hai Luo had run into trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Latterly, it was heard that Hai Luo emerged from the Abyssal Sea, appearing with an attitude that loomed over all things, even making Daluo bow their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, it was him being locked up in the Lawless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was just baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels like the familiar world is drifting away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu sighed and said: \"I feel so distressed, I'm only eighteen years old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Wen Xue said, \"Royal sister, you said the same thing eighteen years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The princess is indeed too young,\" Auntie Qiao said: \"Now only eighteen, it's the age to endure hardship, unlike me, I'm over a thousand years old, I'm past the age of suffering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Bi Zhu: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up and said: \"Let's go, meet the ancestors, don't delay it any longer, who knows if I might need to endure hardship later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they pledge allegiance to the Supreme Immortal Court when I'm out, it's over, this family will fall apart sooner or later without me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While I'm still here, I might as well stay busy for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Princess Wen Xue didn't really want to meet the ancestors,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it involved the safety of the royal family, so she had to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hopefully, all goes well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, the capital experienced an earthquake, and the ancestral tablets fell once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the royal family's great luck manifested as a Golden Dragon soaring into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, it turned into an alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, the royal family gave a clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would not join the Supreme Immortal Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the people from the Heavily Gate Sect were indignant, they still didn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal family wasn't worth mentioning, but there was no need to get entangled with the southern region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would affect subsequent actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was on this day that Lady Bi Zhu sensed the vibrations from the secret code stone pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathering was finally about to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must mention the matter regarding the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must've been some changes somewhere for such a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>",1685,"2026-06-03T11:46:44.214Z","2026-06-03T11:46:51.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a7249402aa27fd735ad2a1aaf313de8736b557bd86ddf309c9933bfd86cc7eb","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1960","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1958",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
