I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 285 Xie An, wait for me!
Chen Yu'er stood there for a very long time. Her bright eyes remained fixed on the Milky Way.

Although they were far apart, Chen Yuer had exceptional eyesight and could see everything clearly.

The white figure was repeatedly repelled by the thunderous waves, yet it charged forward time and time again.

I don't know how many times I failed or how many times I was severely damaged during that period.

But they never backed down.

Until the very last time, the white figure completely disappeared into the endless lightning. It was never seen again.

Chen Yuer's heart suddenly tightened, and her breathing became rapid.

After staring for a long time, the figure did not reappear.

Life and death do not know.

All that remained was the raging tide and rolling thunder, which swallowed the entire sky.

"I wonder if Master Bai has passed away or vanished into thin air."

Chen Yu'er waited there for a whole day and night before finally coming to her senses. She looked down at the envelope and two talismans in her hand, then let out a long sigh and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, disappearing from sight.

The road to Kongsang City is not safe.

The sights she saw along the way made Chen Yuer feel even worse.

The sun in the sky grew hotter and hotter, frantically drawing life force from the entire earth.

Whether it's towering trees, water monsters, wild beasts, or even the people living on the earth, the breath of life flows outward relentlessly, ultimately merging into the blood-red sun overhead.

That blood-red sun grew ever more crimson and ever larger.

It was so red it looked almost purple.

Outsiders are unaware of what has happened.

But Chen Yuer knew it.

That was the Martial Ancestor harvesting this grotto-heaven world. And this red sun was the means by which the Martial Ancestor harvested it.

"The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. It feels like the end of the world is coming."

Chen Yu'er dared not linger and hurried on her way.

While traveling, she did not forget to cultivate herself.

It is worth mentioning that after she parted ways with Xie An outside Kongsang City, she returned to Beiliang and, with the help of the Imperial Seal, found the location of the Demon Court of Beiliang not long after.

They didn't get much benefit, since Ye Nantian had already looted everything. There weren't many good things left.

Fortunately, Chen Yuer found a source of spiritual energy in the Demon Court.

Carrying it on my person doesn't interfere with my cultivation at all times. It helps me advance my Qi Refining stage.

The road away from Tianhe is too far.

She traveled for a very long time before finally returning to Beiliang.

Then they headed south, heading towards Yunzhou.

By the time they reached the border of Yunzhou, a full three years had passed.

Chen Yuer's cultivation level has also increased to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, as her cultivation level increased, Chen Yu'er was horrified to discover that her spiritual energy was being absorbed by the red sun overhead. She could only use the talismans left behind by Bai Yujing to partially block it, but not completely.

An extremely ominous feeling began to grow in my heart.

If even someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining is like this, then what about others?

When Chen Yuer arrived in Yunzhou City, she was completely shocked by the scene before her.

The once magnificent and bustling city, filled with the warmth of everyday life, has become a dilapidated ghost town.

The streets were deserted, the houses were dilapidated, and there was scorched earth everywhere.

In the vast city, not a single living person could be seen.

The bones piled up like mountains.

Chen Yuer walked around the city for most of the day but didn't see a single living person.

The situation was no different from that of the Northern Liang.

"Is harvesting a minor grotto-heaven really this ruthless?"

Chen Yuer clutched her chest, feeling an indescribable sense of despair and desolation.

All the past events involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

Born and raised here... she had hoped to do something for the people of this land and bring them happiness. This was also her original intention in deciding to unify the sixteen kingdoms of Northern Liang.

I've seen too much war and too many people die in it.

She was determined to change all of this.

But in the end, all their efforts were in vain.

Nothing has changed.

Instead, it plunged itself into an unimaginable despair.

The red sun hanging high overhead seemed like a dark curtain pressing down on everyone, extinguishing all hope.

What remains is an endless despair.

If even the most powerful White Jade Capital is in such a state, what hope do others have?
And by what right do we change all this?
Xie An?
Chen Yuer didn't think he could change anything.

However, under these circumstances, Chen Yuer still recalled the bits and pieces of her past experiences with Xie An, from Dayin Mountain in Qingwu County all the way to Yunzhou City, and then after another ten years, to Kongsang City.

Although ten years is not a long time in Chen Yuer's life, it has left her with indelible memories.

That's how we've ended up in this situation.

I've witnessed too much death along the way.

Chen Yu'er no longer expected to change anything; she only wanted to see Xie An one last time in her final moments, to say a final goodbye.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuer looked up in the direction of Kongsang City, her unfocused gaze regaining its firmness.

"Xie An, wait for me."

The next moment, Chen Yuer transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for Kongsang City.
