Xu Ying woke up and quickly jumped up from the Wutong Palace, catching the petite girl in his arms.

He forcefully activated the cloud ladder, causing his mental power to be damaged and feeling as if his heart was about to burst.

Xu Ying gathered his energy and released sword qi, turning the cloud ladder into a sword technique. With the little Fengxian, they flew towards the Wutong Tree and entered the Wutong Palace.

Fengxian was unconscious, so Xu Ying found a room and laid her down. After carefully examining her, he used his own Mud Pill Secret to help her heal. Only then did the girl's breath gradually stabilize.

After Fengxian regained consciousness, she felt a bitter taste in her throat and remembered her fainting. She quickly got up and found herself covered with a blanket, not knowing when she had returned to the Wutong Palace.

She got off the bed and realized that her injuries were not as serious as she thought.

As she walked out of the room, she saw Xu Ying sitting outside the door on a couch, holding a scroll in front of his face, sleeping soundly.

She realized that Xu Ying had been healing her and found it amusing to see him sleeping so innocently. She walked up to him, intending to play a prank. Unexpectedly, before she could reach him, Xu Ying woke up, moved the book that hit his face aside, and smiled, "I fell asleep after reading a few pages. How long have you been awake?"

"Just woke up."

Fengxian gave up on teasing him and apologized, "Young Master, I thought I could help you break the seal, but it seems that your seal is different from mine. I broke the seal rashly, not only hurting myself, but also possibly implicating you and alerting the person who set the seal. It's not safe to stay here for long. The person who set the seal will definitely notice that it has been broken and will send someone to investigate."

She lightly packed her belongings and said, "Young Master, although Fengxian couldn't help you break the seal, the seal has loosened a bit, which can be considered a small achievement. If there is a chance, I will repay the two life-saving favors in the future! If there is no chance, I will repay them in the next life!"

Xu Ying said seriously, "Miss Fengxian, did you really see me three thousand years ago?"

Fengxian fluttered around the Wutong Palace like a bird, packing her things, and said, "Naturally, I saw you. I just hatched three thousand years ago and saw you on this Jiuyi Mountain. At that time, your appearance was the same as now, but you seemed a bit younger."

Xu Ying was stunned. She had no reason to deceive him.

But if Fengxian had seen him three thousand years ago, did that mean he was already over three thousand years old?

How could a person live that long?

And what about his memories of Xujiaping, his parents? Could it be that his memories of a happy childhood and the painful memories of the fire in Xujiaping were all fake?

Fengxian finished packing and opened the window, ready to fly away.

Xu Ying quickly called her back. The petite girl stood on the windowsill, turned her head, and smiled, "Young Master, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid we will be stopped. My current strength is still weak, and it concerns our lives. Please search for 'Ascension' on Baidu to read the rest."

But Xu Ying said, "You said before that you were also sealed. What happened? And who sealed you?"

Fengxian became more nervous and quickly said, "I have a keen sense. Shortly after I was born, I sensed that the world was about to change, so I wanted to escape. That day, I was ready to fly out of the Ten Thousand Mountains, but suddenly the world twisted and turned, and everything went black. It was like being trapped in immense darkness, as if I had returned to the state before I was born, in a daze."

"And then?"

"Suddenly one day, I woke up and opened my eyes, and it was already three thousand years later. I was flying in the sky, and everything I saw was unfamiliar. Everything I used to be familiar with no longer existed."

Her face turned gloomy.

Everything was gone, including her family and friends.

That's why she was so happy and begged when she saw Xu Ying, because he was the only familiar face.

Xu Ying asked, "You don't know who sealed you?"

Fengxian shook her head and said, "I am different from you. I suspect that I was sealed along with the entire world, but you are more special. It seems like someone specifically sealed you. I have to go!"

She hurriedly said, "I sense that the danger is getting closer. I can't delay any longer! My senses are very sharp!"

Xu Ying quickly said, "Wait! Who sealed this world? And who released the seal?"

Fengxian had already transformed into a colorful phoenix and flew away, leaving behind a rainbow light in the sky.

Her clear voice came from afar, "Young Master Xu, leave this place as soon as possible! The person who set the seal will definitely come to check on it!"

Xu Ying watched her fly away and felt lost in his heart. "Am I really a person from three thousand years ago? Could she have mistaken me for someone else? Isn't my home in Xujiaping?"

He stood silently for a long time, not leaving but waiting.

He wanted to see if what Fengxian said was true. Whether the person who sealed him would come here to investigate.

Fengxian soared in the sky at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a trail of colorful clouds.

Suddenly, a green light blocked her path ahead, like a wall in the sky, its width and height unknown.

Fengxian's heart skipped a beat and she flew upwards, trying to fly over the green barrier. She saw a crisscross pattern of straight lines on the green wall, like a chessboard.

"This is a chessboard!"

Fengxian felt a chill. "Could it be an extremely powerful divine power?"

She became alert and flew rapidly. She saw a gigantic finger outside the sky, holding a white chess piece and piercing through the thick atmosphere, aiming at her!

The chess piece was as huge as a mountain, and as it rubbed against the air, flames ignited. It came crashing down, brushing past her with a crisp sound, causing the green giant chessboard to burst into flames.

Fengxian flapped her wings to avoid the chess piece, but then she saw anotherA white jade-like hand reached out from the sky, two fingers pinching a black chess piece, and placed it on the green light chessboard!

Xiao Fengxian increased her speed to the extreme, shuttling left and right, avoiding the white jade hand and black chess piece. However, another delicate jade hand held a white chess piece and dropped it!

She was like an ant on the chessboard, dodging the suppression of one mountain-like chess piece after another, doing her best.

However, the chess pieces fell faster and faster, and more and more chess pieces appeared on the chessboard, each one as big as a mountain, making it increasingly difficult for her to dodge.

She could only do her best to pass through the mountain-like chess pieces and try to avoid the attacks from above!

Just when Xiao Fengxian was in despair, a voice suddenly laughed, "This game is over."

The green light and chessboard instantly disappeared, and Xiao Fengxian, who was shocked, looked down and saw an old man and a woman playing chess on a mountain peak in front of her. The chessboard they used was a green jade board!

Xiao Fengxian flew to the top of the mountain, still far away from the old man and the woman, and then landed, transforming into a colorful little girl, bowing and saying, "Greetings!"

The old man in white didn't even lift his head, waved his hand, and said, "Go. Don't interfere next time."

Xiao Fengxian, feeling as if she had been pardoned, quickly took a few steps back, turned around, and flew away like a phoenix.

The woman playing chess with the old man was dressed in black, with a round face and a red mole on her forehead. She smiled and said, "That old man, did he go to deliver tea again?"

The old man in white sighed, "Yes. It's really pitiful. He runs around every day, serving tea and water. I heard that this time he prepared ten bowls of Meng Po soup. Even Meng Po finds him annoying and talks bad about him behind his back."

The woman with the red mole couldn't help but laugh, "Ten bowls of Meng Po soup, is he drinking it like a cow?"

The old man in white laughed heartily, "Drinking ten bowls of tea would even make immortals collapse. In this way, we can also be worry-free."

The woman in red sighed, "I hope so. Otherwise, with all the surprises and scares every day, even if we're not sick, we'll be scared into illness."

Xu Ying stood in front of the window of Wutong Palace, looking out, his mind surging and unable to calm down for a long time.

"After resolving Zhou Laozu's matter, I will go to Xujiaping!"

He silently thought in his heart, "Only by finding this place can I solve the mystery of my identity!"

In his memory, there was a road to Xujiaping.

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside Wutong Palace.

Xu Ying passed through the layers of palace gates and arrived at the front gate, opened it, and smelled the scent of incense. He saw an old man with a worried expression standing on a branch outside the gate, looking at him.

Xu Ying didn't seem surprised, smiled and said, "Old man, we meet again."

The old man with a worried expression sighed and said, "We could have met on Wuwang Mountain, but unfortunately, we missed each other. Fortunately, I met Young Master Xu again."

Xu Ying's gaze flickered and said, "Is the old man here to invite me for tea again?"

The old man with a worried expression said, "Young Master Xu is exceptionally wise, guessing right away. This time, the old man brought good tea and invites Young Master to taste it."

Xu Ying smiled ambiguously, "What if I don't drink it?"

The old man with a worried expression sighed, "Then, the old man will have to force you to drink it. Come!"

The sky was violently turbulent, golden light illuminated the sky above Jiuyi Mountain, and giant golden-armored figures stood on the clouds, bowing down and looking down.

Seeing this, Xu Ying stepped aside and invited him in, saying, "I can't resist you, so I won't resist. Old man, bring the tea, I'll drink it."

He calculated in his heart that if Da Zhong was here, combined with his Empty Silence's Pure Yang Divine Fire, they should be able to confront this old man. As long as they caused a big commotion, Zhou Qiyun would definitely show up!

With Zhou Qiyun present, this worried old man wouldn't be able to make much of a wave!

"Since Xiao Fengxian caused such a big commotion earlier, it shouldn't be difficult for Zhong Ye to find this place," Xu Ying thought to himself.

The worried old man set up the tea set, and a flame appeared in his palm, heating the water and warming the tea set before pouring tea for Xu Ying. The tea was clear and refreshing, quenching his thirst.

When Xu Ying saw the flame used to heat the water, he was surprised because it was the Pure Yang Divine Fire!

Apparently, using the Pure Yang Divine Fire against him was useless!

"There was such a big commotion here just now, Zhou Qiyun should come and take a look!" he thought to himself.

"Drink the tea, Young Master," the worried old man raised his hand and pushed the tea cup towards Xu Ying.

Xu Ying picked up the tea cup and smiled, "Last time, it seems that the tea you invited me to drink had no effect. This time's tea looks no different from last time. Are you not worried that this tea will be ineffective?"

The worried old man's heart skipped a beat. He had also had this suspicion and was worried that the Meng Po soup would be ineffective.

"Drink the tea while it's hot," he said, unaffected.

Xu Ying's face changed uncertainly, and then he gritted his teeth, raised his head, and drank it all at once!

After he put down the tea cup, the worried expression on the old man's face eased slightly. He poured tea for Xu Ying and said, "I brought a few golden-armored warriors. If Young Master doesn't drink, they will hold you down and force you to drink. But since Young Master is willing to cooperate, I don't need to resort to these methods." Xu Ying laughed heartily and said, "For such a trivial matter as a few sips of tea, there's no need for the old man to personally take action. It just so happens that I'm a little thirsty too."

He snatched the teapot, removed the lid, and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, the worried old man's face no longer looked worried, but revealed a smile.Xu Ying finished his pot of tea, laughing as he said, "Last time, old man, you invited me for tea and told me an interesting story about the Emperor of Nandian, Chen Mianzhu, who transformed into a white-robed immortal and was completely devoured by someone. Why is there no story this time?"

The old man with a worried look on his face broke into a smile, his wrinkles seemingly lessened, and said, "Well then, while the medicinal effects are kicking in, let me tell you another interesting tale."

He chuckled, "This blessed land is known as the Chaozhen Taixu Cave. In ancient times, some Qi Gatherers practiced here, considering it a blessed land. There are traces left by immortals who ascended here, leading everyone to believe that this place allows for Ascension. Everyone wanted to use the traces of the ascended immortal, harnessing the power of the heavenly tribulation to open a path to the immortal realm. Haha!"

He exaggeratedly opened his mouth wide, his fingers spread out, thin and long, and laughed, "Do you know they all died?"

Tears streamed down his face from laughter, he wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes with his slender fingers, chuckling, "They all died, not a single one survived. Later, a cultivator with immortal eyes came, his gaze sharp. He looked at the Ascension light and said that it wasn't Ascension light, but the remnants of the first unfortunate soul who tried to cross the tribulation here and was shattered. Those lights were formed from his corpse and fragments of his primordial spirit."

His face returned to a calm expression, eerily serene, "Young master, isn't it hilarious?"

Xu Ying had already fallen asleep on the tea table, snoring softly, sleeping soundly like a baby.

"Funny, isn't it?"

The old man with a worried look had a deep gaze, he tidied up the tea set, stood up, and walked out of the Wutong Palace, closing the palace door behind him.

At this moment, a large bell was flying towards them. The old man saw the bell, raised his sleeve to cover his face.

Da Zhong crashed into the Wutong Palace through a window in the tree, causing a ruckus, shouting, "Ah Ying, Ah Ying, are you alright?"

The old man revealed a smile, about to jump down from the Wutong tree, when he heard Xu Ying yawning and waking up, saying, "You're Bell, how did I fall asleep?"

The old man's eyes twitched, his smile froze on his face, gradually turning into a worried expression.

Something big has happened. He silently thought to himself.
