Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

The Breaking Void Boat and the Tai Yi Green Lotus Seat arrived one after another at the Corroding Bone Forest Sea outpost.

There were a large number of cultivators here, coming from various major immortal sects, clans, and powers; in addition, there were numerous formations and restrictions for protection, so it was extremely safe.

Everyone landed one after another, all letting out a breath of relief.

Mo Chen seemed to have something to attend to; he called out a greeting, then hurriedly left.

Jiang Weirui found a spot to sit down, rubbing her sore and swollen arms while smiling: "We've finally returned; we've been gone for half a month, right?"

Shi Feng put away the jade box in his hand, then nodded: "This trip was a bit risky; we can't do this again next time."

The Yinxian Heavenly Pit — truly worthy of being one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands of the Tianyuan Realm.

With Golden Core Stage cultivation, wanting to explore over there is undoubtedly courting death.

I'm afraid only those who have reached Nascent Soul Stage, and moreover are Superior Nascent Soul or even Extreme Grade Nascent Soul, have the qualifications to approach the edge.

However, he was also very fortunate; luckily they had this lesson this time.

Otherwise, next time an even bigger incident might occur.

During this period, they trained together with Xu Ping'an; no matter what trouble they encountered, it could be easily resolved.

Moreover, privately there was also an expert, Pei Mo, secretly protecting them.

This caused everyone's sense of crisis to drop significantly all at once.

Li Yueyao leaned over to Su Qinghan's side, smiling: "Elder Sister Han, you're tired too, right?"

Su Qinghan glanced at her indifferently, shaking her head slightly: "It's fine."

Then her gaze fell on Xu Ping'an and Xu Changqing, observing the father and son's movements.

Seeing everyone starting to rest, Xu Changqing brought his son to the other side, his tone softening a few degrees, and asked: "Now, do you plan to return to the Immortal Sect with me, or continue staying here at the Immortal Falling Abyss to train?"

Xu Ping'an heard this and immediately replied: "Father, I want to continue staying here to train for a while.

We've only just cultivated tacit understanding with Yueyao, Qinghan, and the others; moreover, the Immortal Falling Abyss has many opportunities, so it's perfect to take this chance to temper myself more and increase my strength.

When I've trained enough, I'll return to the Immortal Sect."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Li Yueyao and the others, a trace of a smile flashing across his face; the others likewise smiled knowingly.

Xu Changqing shook his head helplessly: "Alas, since your mind is made up, Father won't force you.

But you must remember: in all matters, you must not be reckless like today again; you must absolutely take care of your safety."

Speaking to this point, his expression became solemn, and he transmitted his voice: "The current Tianyuan Realm is not as peaceful as before.

Since the location was exposed, two waves of Outer Realm Foreign Races have already broken in.

And their strength is formidable, absolutely not something ordinary cultivators can contend with.

Especially the Three-Eyed Clan, who are cooperating with our Dongting Immortal Sect, are strong to the extreme; if you encounter them in the future, you must absolutely not be careless.

Avoid them if you can; do not lightly engage in combat with them."

"Outer Realm Foreign Races?"

Xu Ping'an's eyes were full of surprise; not only was he not afraid, he was instead eager to try: "There really are Outer Realm Foreign Races?

Father, for me this isn't danger, but a rare opportunity.

If I fight foreign races, not only can I temper my own strength, but in the future there might also be a chance to follow them out of the Tianyuan Realm, to a vaster world!"

Xu Changqing looked at his son's fearless newborn-calf-not-fearing-tigers appearance, looking quite speechless: "You, you're still too young and vigorous.

The Outer Realm world is indeed vast, but also even more treacherous.

Wait until your strength is strong enough, when you have the ability to stand on your own, then thinking about these things won't be too late.

Right now, the primary task is to train well and increase your strength and cultivation as soon as possible."

Xu Ping'an nodded repeatedly, verbally agreeing with "Son remembers" and such words, yet the curious look in his eyes never diminished.

……

……

The sun set in the west, night gradually enveloping the Corroding Bone Forest Sea.

Faint insect cries and demon roars occasionally rang out from the forest.

Xu Ping'an went to find Li Yueyao and the others again; several young people gathered together, sharing the cultivation resources Xu Changqing had gifted while discussing the next training route.

The chirping chatter added a touch of liveliness to the tranquil night.

On the other side, Xu Changqing and Pei Mo sat around a stone table, on which were placed a pot of Spirit Rice Wine and two wine cups.

The wine was clear, emitting dense Spiritual Energy and wine aroma.

Each poured a cup, lightly sipped a mouthful, then turned their gazes toward the distance.

That was the direction of the Yinxian Heavenly Pit; faintly a wisp of red qi could be seen lingering in the air, revealing a hint of strangeness.

"Sigh~"

Pei Mo put down his wine cup, lightly sighed: "Time passes so fast; back then, we were still lowly disciples of the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Drinking together, cultivating together, carefree and unrestrained — how comfortable.

Unlike now: you're busy with the Immortal Sect's affairs, while I'm busy running around everywhere; we can never return to the past."

Xu Changqing heard this, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, then slowly nodded: "Yes, it's gone forever, never to return."

"You're still fine!"

Pei Mo drank another cup of Spirit Rice Wine, calmly saying: "Unlike me — now following Li Lingbi through life and death, already bound together with him early on.

"Basically, I won't be able to leave the Central Region for the rest of this life."

Xu Zhangqing turned his head and glanced at him, asking softly, "Right, Old Pei, there's something I want to ask you.

Regarding Han Xin's side, do you know the specific situation?

Her marrying into the Ancient Clan Mo Family — was it truly voluntary, or was she forced to marry against her will in order to help Li Lingbi?"

Pei Mo couldn't help but chuckle, "Old Xu, you're overthinking this.

Han Xin's temperament — which of us few doesn't know it?

She loves to drink, yet is more clear-headed and stubborn than anyone.

If it's something she's unwilling to do, even if the sky falls, no one can force her, let alone a lifelong major event like marriage."

He paused, then continued, "I can tell you clearly: her marrying into the Ancient Clan Mo Family was wholehearted and willing.

There wasn't the slightest coercion, nor was it to help Li Lingbi."

Xu Zhangqing put down the wine cup in his hand, nodding deeply in agreement, "You're right, I was overthinking it.

Besides her addiction to wine, Elder Sister Han is indeed clear-headed in her conduct.

Her mind is transparent; she would absolutely not wrong herself for even a tiny bit of benefit."

Pei Mo filled his cup, saying seriously, "Actually, Li Lingbi isn't a bad person either."

Xu Zhangqing's gaze looked toward the distant night, his tone carrying more speculation, "Put that way, the relationship between her and Li Lingbi isn't the employment relationship I imagined, but rather more like a cooperation relationship."

Just don't know what they're plotting by joining hands like this?

Of course, this matter probably only Li Lingbi and Han Xin know clearly in their hearts!

Pei Mo shook his head, "Li Lingbi's thoughts are deep, Han Xin is overly transparent.

The two of them joining hands, they certainly have their own plans.

We just need to handle ourselves well, no need to excessively speculate on others' intentions."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly, said no more, but picked up his wine cup and lightly clinked it with Pei Mo's, the two drinking wine while gazing at the night scenery of the Immortal Falling Abyss!
