Upper Realm, Lingtian Plateau.

Saintess Palace.

Luo Qingxian sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, dressed in a white gown with her long hair cascading down her back.

The leaves of the Sacred Tree outside the window had turned yellow a month ago. When the wind blew, they fell like golden snow, drifting through the window only to land upon her heart. As she stared at the Sacred Tree in a daze, her thoughts returned to her experiences in the Lower Realm, and her mood fluttered like the endlessly scattering leaves…

An old woman with snow-white hair sat before her, clutching her wrist with a gnarled hand. She had been taking her pulse for a long time.

Luo Qingxian snapped out of her thoughts, yawned, and said with a bitter expression, "Ahh, Grandmother, I've already told you, I'm fine. The Divine Doctor I met in the Lower Realm has excellent medical techniques. I'm truly all better now, so please let me go back."

"Eh…" The old woman suddenly furrowed her brow. "This isn't right."

Luo Qingxian looked confused. "What's wrong?"

The old woman closed her eyes. After concentrating for a moment, her eyes shot open in disbelief as she stared at Luo Qingxian.

"This… This is the Fortune-Forming Power!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingxian's face also filled with disbelief, her eyes widening involuntarily. In her mind, only one person in the world possessed the Fortune-Forming Power.

The old woman suddenly asked, "The Divine Doctor you met… could it have been Tian'er?"

Luo Qingxian shook her head blankly, her mind in chaos.

"Because only Tian'er possesses the Fortune-Forming Power," the old woman said, staring into her eyes. "It's a Divine Power he was born with. Years ago, when I was on the brink of withering away, it was Tian'er's Fortune-Forming Power that revived me and has allowed me to live to this day."

"So I am certain that the residual aura within you is Tian'er's Fortune-Forming Power."

"Come to think of it, given the severity of your injuries, it would have been impossible to recover so completely in such a short time without a Divine Power like that."

Luo Qingxian's beautiful eyes trembled, and for a moment she was at a loss for words. At this moment, her mind was completely filled with the man she had met in the Lower Realm.

"Luo Xiu, could you really be…"

She suddenly stood up and looked at the old woman with urgency.

"Grandmother, can you still send me to the Lower Realm? I want to find him and ask him face-to-face. If… if it's really him, I'm bringing him home!"

The old woman shook her head lightly, her voice somewhat weak. "I'm afraid that's not possible for now. Bringing you back to the Upper Realm this time took a serious toll on me. I need to rest for a while."

Hearing this, Luo Qingxian sank back down powerlessly and sighed.

The old woman reached out to stroke her head and said kindly, "Don't worry, Xian'er. Since he's still in this world, you will meet him someday."

"Mhm…" Luo Qingxian's eyes grew moist, and she pouted, feeling aggrieved.

The old woman gently embraced her, smiling as she said, "If Tian'er knew how outstanding his chosen Holy Maiden has become, he would surely be very happy."

"…"

…

Land of Lawlessness.

Hundred Herbs Garden.

Luo Xiu sat on the grass, bored out of his mind, when he suddenly sneezed. He glanced at Luo Ying and Luo Qianye, who were hugging in the distance. I wonder if those two are secretly bad-mouthing me.

A fragrant breeze wafted by. Hua Muyan floated over and sat elegantly beside Luo Xiu, looking at him with an odd expression. "Master, you look so lonely. You have no one to keep you company. Does Yan'er need to keep you company?"

Luo Xiu glanced at Hua Muyan and her seductive outfit, and his shameless hand immediately began to wander.

Hua Muyan twisted her body, laughing coquettishly.

BOOM—!

Suddenly, an ill-timed explosion roared from afar. It was followed by the deafening roars of a tiger and bellows of a bear that echoed through The Void.

Hua Muyan sighed helplessly. "Those two are at it again. Master, you should really go and check on them."

During Luo Xiu's absence, Kuang Pi had constantly provoked Xiao Luanzi to perfect the Divine Skills he had recently comprehended. His goal was simply to make Xiao Luanzi fight him. Relying on his Divine Skills, Kuang Pi always remained unbeatable. He would leave Xiao Luanzi bruised and swollen after every encounter, acting incredibly arrogant.

However, Xiao Luanzi never submitted to Kuang Pi. The moment he started losing, he would call for backup. First, he would summon Yao Ritian. If that failed, he would call Lei Luan. If Lei Luan was also insufficient, he would sweet-talk Dou Dou and Yaya into helping him…

But in the end, he was always the one who got thrashed.

This group of goofballs tore up the place every few days, turning the entire Land of Lawlessness into a chaotic mess. It was a real headache.

"Forget it. Let them be."

Too lazy to bother with it, Luo Xiu flopped over and rested his head on Hua Muyan's smooth thighs clad in black silk.

Hua Muyan extended a delicate hand and gently cradled his head. "By the way, Master, what are your plans?"

Luo Xiu thought for a moment. "I'll rest for a couple of days. Once I'm back in good shape, I'll absorb the Shanhai Territory, and then it's time to head back to Earth."

At that, he couldn't help but think of Lin Xiyue, and of the daughter he had never truly met.

Xi Yue thinks I'm dead… She must be so heartbroken right now. I have to find her soon.

As he was lost in thought, Hua Muyan suddenly asked, "By the way, Master, why didn't Shen Le come back with you?"

"She ran off somewhere. In any case, she's no longer in the Shanhai Territory."

Hua Muyan's lips pursed slightly. "Then if she becomes an enemy of Hua Country in the future, will you show her mercy?"

Luo Xiu replied without a second thought, "Definitely not."

"…"

…

Once Luo Xiu started relaxing, he lost all track of time, indulging in wine and pleasure almost every day.

After resting for five or six days, Luo Xiu finally left the Land of Lawlessness, prepared to absorb the Shanhai Territory. However, he never expected that using his Divine Soul to hide the entire Shanhai Territory in his left eye would be such a long and arduous process.

Moreover, once this process began, it could not be halted. Otherwise, the entire Shanhai Territory would be lost in the chaos of spatial currents.

One month passed, then two. Half a year went by, then a full year…

Time flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, four years slipped away.

…

…

Hua Country.

Danlong Ancient Mountain.

In a secret chamber of the Ancient Mountain Residence.

Chen Xuanbao stood before a large screen, his expression pensive. The screen displayed real-time surveillance footage from Xia Chan's courtyard. In the footage, Xia Chan was leisurely strolling through the courtyard, pushing a baby stroller.

In the quiet room, Chen Xuanbao suddenly spoke. "Is the child a full month old today?"

A Sect Follower beside him replied, "Yes, Archbishop."

Chen Xuanbao stared deeply at the screen. He couldn't comprehend what kind of child required a gestation of several whole years before being born. He could, however, sense the child's unique aura.

That child was born with the constitution of an Earth Immortal Cultivator!

What in the world is this Luo Xiu's background, for his genes to be so powerful?

"We make our move tonight," he ordered. "We must snatch the child."
