My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

Even after she gained junior brothers and sisters, Luo Qingchen, as the senior sister, did not act like one at all. She still followed behind her master, going wherever he went.

Ten years later, Master left the Heavenly Demon Pavilion and went to the Demon Realm.

She then continued her cultivation while waiting for her master to return.

Later, she learned that her master had established influence in both the human and demon realms.

She began to imagine what her fellow disciples would be like.

Could she be more outstanding than her? Would she steal Master's attention?

And then—

Master has disappeared.

One thousand one hundred years.

For those 1,100 years, although she missed her master endlessly, she never showed the slightest weakness in front of others.

Together with her fellow disciples, she supported the Heavenly Demon Pavilion and carried forward the legacy left by their master.

Her personality also changed over those 1,100 years.

From that clingy little girl, she has transformed into the calm and reliable Third Ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

After her master returned, she followed the example of her senior sisters, Tu Shan You Yao, and deliberately restrained her dependence, no longer clinging to him without any restraint as before.

But deep down, she never let go of that deep-seated dependence and longing.

Unexpectedly, after so much time has passed, she can still be held tightly by her master like when she was a child, sleep in the same bed with him, and feel this warmth and peace that belongs only to her.

At that moment, she really didn't want to wake up; she just wanted to stay in that moment forever.

Luo Qingchen thought to herself, her cheeks growing hotter and hotter, the scent of Gu Changyuan lingering around her nose, her heart filled with tenderness.

Just then, Gu Changyuan slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze falling on Luo Qingchen, who was rubbing against his chest, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Luo Qingchen suddenly felt a warm gaze fall on her, and subconsciously looked up, just in time to meet Gu Changyuan's eyes at close range.

Extremely close distance.

She was so close that she could see her own reflection in her master's eyes.

Gu Changyuan looked at her and immediately noticed the change in her eyes.

"woke up?"

It's not just about asking her when she woke up from her sleep, but also when she woke up from that state of amnesia.

Luo Qingchen nodded slightly.

"Yes, Master."

Instead of distancing herself from Gu Changyuan, she remained close to his chest, her small hands gently clutching his clothes.

She harbored a hint of probing, wanting to see if her master would mind her being so intimate.

Gu Changyuan didn't push her away. Instead, he reached out and gently rubbed her head, his tone still gentle:

"How are you feeling?"

Luo Qingchen smiled gently, her eyes filled with warmth, and shook her head softly.

"I'm completely healed. My bloodline evolution went very smoothly, and I feel no discomfort in my sea of ​​consciousness. Master, please rest assured."

Gu Changyuan nodded slightly, then propped himself up, preparing to get up.

Luo Qingchen reluctantly let go of his hand, sat up from his embrace, straightened her clothes, and her cheeks still had a faint blush.

"Then go see your fellow disciples first; they've been quite worried about you these past few days."

Luo Qingchen nodded in response:

"Um!"

Gu Changyuan stood up, turned to look at Luo Qingchen, who was still sitting on the bed behind him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Luo Qingchen immediately snapped out of her daze, raised her head, and looked at him intently, her eyes filled with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation. She asked softly:

"Master...can we still get along like this in the future?"

A gentle smile appeared on Gu Changyuan's face, as if he had heard something extremely silly, his tone full of doting affection:

"When have I ever refused?"

Luo Qingchen was stunned.

Looking at the smile on her master's face and listening to his casual words, something suddenly filled a certain part of her heart.

warm.

She nodded vigorously, a bright smile spreading across her face:

"Um!"

Then, she immediately stood up and quickly walked to her master's side.

Gu Changyuan glanced at her, then turned and walked out.

Luo Qingchen followed behind him, her steps light and quick.

......

Top floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower

Gu Changyuan and his disciples sat down, and all eyes turned to Luo Qingchen, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They were all very curious about what she had gone through during this time.

Feeling the intense gazes of everyone, Luo Qingchen took a deep breath and slowly began to recount her experiences over the past few days.

"Some time ago, when I was cultivating, I always felt that the blood in my body was a bit restless, but my cultivation was stuck in a bottleneck."

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break through the shackles; even the flow of my bloodline power became sluggish.

"Then, after a session of spiritual cultivation helped me enter a dream state, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place."

Luo Qingchen paused.

"I can confirm that, at least at that time, I had never been to that place."

"But I could feel that the atmosphere of that place was ancient and pure."

My blood seemed to be very familiar with that place; the previously tense feeling of constraint noticeably loosened.

As she spoke, a hint of reminiscence appeared in her eyes.

"So I explored that place for a long time. It was a very large place, like an abandoned ancient ruin."

I walked around inside for a long time, taking many detours, and finally—"

She paused for a moment:

"We found something."

"As for what it is, I can't say for sure."

The thing had no fixed shape; it was like a ball of light or a drop of blood, suspended in the deepest part of the ruins.

The moment I touched it, my blood began to boil, as if I were about to break free of some kind of shackles and step into a completely new realm.

"but,"

Luo Qingchen changed the subject.

"A dream is just a dream."

In the dream, I did successfully complete the bloodline evolution, but Caiyou's "Fleeting Life Like a Dream" can only provide feedback on understanding and experience; things at the bloodline level cannot be fed back through dreams.

"So, I need to find that thing in reality."

She paused, then continued:

"In my dream, I managed to leave that place and then discovered that my surroundings were in a desolate mountain in the western border."

So, relying on my memory, I decided to return to the Heavenly Demon Pavilion first.

"The dream ended while I was on the road."

"After waking up, I did not hesitate and set off for the Western Frontier."

Guided by the memories of my dream, I found the desolate mountain, the entrance, and entered the ruins. Then—

Her tone lowered slightly:

"We found that thing again."

"However, unlike in the dream, there are three more half-immortal level demon beasts guarding the place."
