Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The journey through the ancient wilderness ended abruptly.

Back in reality, gazing at the endless yellow sand, I felt as if I had been transported to another world.

"So the spacetime magic circle has disappeared now?"

Kaiyang Shengzi glanced at the pillar beside him.

Even now, recalling his experience of time looping still fills him with lingering fear.

"Don't worry, junior brother, the magic array has disappeared."

Luo Tian used "Immortal's Guidance" again, and this time the sword light above his head pointed straight to the way he came.

"I never expected to travel against the flow of time... Every time I'm with Brother Luo Tian, ​​I encounter wonderful things that broaden my horizons."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes playfully glancing at Luo Tian.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​have you gained anything from this trip? With that person's abilities, they probably already know something and have set up this formation to welcome you."

"Everything is just as the saint predicted."

Luo Tian nodded.

The three did not linger there and continued along the path they had come from.

With the spacetime magic array no longer sealing them, they soon emerged from this desert ruin.

"I don't know how much time has passed. Now that we've obtained this opportunity, let's head straight to the center of the secret realm."

Luo Tian suggested.

He no longer hoped to find Ye Chen and take the opportunity to sever his inheritance.

He had no idea where Ye Chen was now, nor where the legacy of the Ziwei Emperor was.

Instead of blindly searching, it's better to wait patiently for the opportunity to come to you.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Son of Kaiyang naturally would not object.

……

The three of them traveled through the secret realm.

They also encountered other cultivators along the way.

Those who recognized the three individuals or sensed their cultivation levels mostly chose to retreat.

A few familiar people will then come up and say hello.

As for those who wanted to harm the three of them, there was none of them.

After all, Luo Tian was already well-known, and he neither had a mocking face nor had he offended a large number of sects and forces.

Thus, the waves approached the central area of ​​the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm.

As soon as you step inside, a towering pagoda stands before you.

Like a beacon, it tells everyone that the center of the Fallen Emperor's Secret Realm is there.

Upon arriving at the foot of the tower, perhaps because it was still early, there weren't many cultivators around.

"Senior brother, do you know what this tower is for?"

Kaiyang Shengzi looked up at the towering tower that stretched to the sky.

"It's probably some kind of trial."

Luo Tian answered casually.

This is a classic scene from countless fantasy and martial arts novels.

Climb the tower, compete for rankings, and claim rewards.

As was destined, Ye Chen, after receiving the inheritance of the Ziwei Emperor, made a big move inside the Tower of Babel.

Of course, as expected, Luo Tian from the original storyline will continue to serve as Ye Chen's stepping stone.

As they spoke, cultivators began to arrive at the foot of the tower.

Besides the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, several other true disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land also entered the secret realm.

When they saw Luo Tian and the others, they immediately came over to greet them.

"The Xuantian Sect and the Yaochi Holy Land have always been on good terms, so you should stay with us as well."

"Thank you, Divine Child."

So the people from the Jade Pool Holy Land also stayed.

After that, more and more cultivators arrived at the Tower of Babel.

Once the crowd gathered, they started talking about the few things that happened in the secret realm.

For example, someone obtains some rare and precious treasure.

For example, let's say two people have a big fight, and who wins and who loses.

There are even rumors that someone was ambushed and killed while exploring a secret realm.

Luo Tian was also secretly eavesdropping.

After all, he was concerned about the other members of the Xuantian Sect and wondered how they were doing.

When asked, most of the surrounding cultivators knew nothing.

If anyone fails to come to the Tower of Babel, Luo Tian will inevitably have to personally search for their whereabouts.

Fortunately, Luo Tian's worries were unnecessary.

Before long, two familiar figures arrived at the Tower of Babel.

"It's the Celestial Pivot Saint Son and the Limitless Sword Son!"

Someone shouted.

The Heavenly Pivot Saint and the Limitless Sword Master stood high in the sky, facing each other like fire and water.

"I heard that the Holy Son of Tian Shu and the Sword Master of Wuji fought over a divine weapon, and the two fought fiercely, but the result was a draw."

"On one side is the Xuantian Sect, and on the other is the Wuji Sword Sect. Are they going to have a showdown?"

People are discussing this again.

Fortunately, the standoff did not last long.

Upon seeing Luo Tian and the others, the Holy Son of Tian Shu was overjoyed and leaped to their side.

"Senior Brother Luo Tian, ​​and Junior Brother Kai Yang."

"..."

Wuji Sword Master gave Luo Tian a deep look before turning and joining the disciples of Wuji Sword Sect.

The Holy Son of Tian Shu exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

Luo Tian suddenly felt something and looked up in a certain direction.

A petite figure was rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

"Senior Brother!!!"

The sound arrived almost simultaneously with the person.

Luo Tian smiled and opened his arms, holding the Holy Maiden Yao Guang tightly in his embrace as she bumped into him.

"Junior Sister Yaoguang, I'm relieved to see you still so energetic."

If there's one thing Luo Tian is most worried about, it's the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang is the youngest and has the lowest cultivation level; in her predetermined fate, she is already dead.

Now that she was standing right in front of him, Luo Tian could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Um?"

Luo Tian examined the body of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang and discovered that she had actually broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Junior Sister has made rapid progress; it seems she's been doing quite well lately."

"Not good at all!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang buried her face in Luo Tian's chest and said in a muffled voice.

It took her a long time to lift her little face, her eyes red and swollen from crying, tears streaming down her face.

Luo Tian was immediately shocked.

"Junior Sister, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Your senior brother will avenge you right away!"

"It was you, senior brother, who bullied them!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang pouted and punched Luo Tian's chest.

"what?"

Luo Tian was completely dumbfounded.

Is he blaming himself for not finding her immediately?

But then the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang buried her head in Luo Tian's arms again, wiping away her tears with Luo Tian's clothes.

She looked up again, sobbing softly.

"Senior brother, will you leave me and the sect one day?"

Luo Tian answered with a smile without even thinking.

"Junior Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly...leave?"

His words paused almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Luo Tian suddenly realized that he would indeed leave the sect and leave this world one day.

Based on the timeline of the story, this should happen within the next few years.

But how did the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang know this?

Luo Tian was filled with surprise and doubt.

He gently stroked the little head of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"Junior Sister, who told you that I would leave someday?"

"There was a voice talking to someone."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang wiped away her tears again.

It turns out that the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang heard a mysterious voice in the secret realm.

She followed the mysterious voice to a waterfall, where she saw the phantom of a woman through the curtain of water.

The woman seemed to be from Yaoguang Palace as well. She not only handed over the complete inheritance of Yaoguang Palace to the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, but also asked the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang to protect the eldest brother, saying that the eldest brother would leave her and everyone one day.

"So, Senior Brother, you really won't leave us?"

"I will protect the sect until the very end."

Luo Tian made a soft promise.

This is not a lie.

My heart aches a little.

He will eventually have to leave; all he can promise is that he will do his best to protect the sect before he leaves.

"Don't lie to people."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang finally stopped crying.

"Junior Sister is such a worrywart. Why did Senior Brother suddenly leave?"

"That's right, Senior Brother is a man of strong character; he won't abandon the sect and leave."

Tian Shu Holy Son and Kai Yang Holy Son stepped forward to comfort Yao Guang Holy Maiden.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang blushed deeply and hid in Luo Tian's arms without saying a word.

Luo Tian found it funny.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he felt a strange gaze upon him.

Following the gaze, he saw the Holy Maiden of Yaochi staring intently at him.

"Will Brother Luo Tian really leave one day?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi transmitted her voice secretly, her voice ethereal yet solemn.

"I hope Brother Luo Tian can stay. If you leave, I think many people will be sad."

"..."

Luo Tian was speechless.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi has incredibly keen senses.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, the Holy Son of Tianquan appeared shortly afterward, diverting everyone's attention.

"Senior brother, I've been studying the formations of the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm and discovered that there are many hidden secrets within them."

The Holy Son of Tianquan told Luo Tian about his discovery.

Unfortunately, Luo Tian had already seen through the mystery and had also met Zhu Jiuyin, the source of everything.

"Junior brother, you've worked hard."

Luo Tian patted Tianquan Saint Son on the shoulder.

Finally, the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan arrived late.
