"So, how did you solve the problem of transforming into a Daoist?" Wang Mian asked with a curious expression.
Lu Wuwei, wearing a new pair of pants, rode over on his electric scooter, looking at Gu Tianchen with a resentful gaze.
"This kid's physique is so strong that he'd be lucky if he didn't even transform the Dao, let alone become one."
Wang Mian looked at Gu Tianchen with envy and said, "It's so good to have the powerful physique of the Witch Clan."
"You only need to constantly temper your physical body to improve your strength. You don't need to worry about mental barriers or fear that your body will be unable to withstand the power of the laws and cause you to undergo Dao transformation."
A dark shadow appeared, traversing the river of time, and loomed over the three of them. Chronos's roar instantly resounded, deafeningly loud!
"I endured a beating from a Pillar God-level being, did I come here to chat with you three brats?!"
The three quickly dispersed, each heading in a different direction—the past, the present, and the future.
There's no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life; it's just that some old geezer is taking the beatings for them...
……
Wang Mian focused intently on controlling the distance step by step, following the method taught by Chronos, to avoid any mishaps.
Large beads of sweat dripped from his head, soaking his collar. Through his tireless efforts, he finally found the past in which Lin Qiye and the others appeared.
"This is it!"
Wang Mian gripped the eight-foot-long magatama in his hand, and with a flash of red light, he entered the river of time!

A flash of red light appeared, and a figure wearing a gray cloak and a mask with the character "王" (king) suddenly appeared in front of a brothel.
The brothel owner, who was soliciting customers at the door, was startled by the sudden appearance of Wang Mian.
"Oh my god, you scared me to death! Whose young master is this? Why is he dressed like that?"
"Is this young master's first time visiting our area? He even put on a mask to avoid being recognized. I understand, I understand!"
The madam flicked her handkerchief and, with a smile, reached out to pull Wang Mian's hand.
"Come on, come on, whatever kind of girl you like, young master, we have her here..."
Wang Mian stared at the other person's attire for a long time...
The madam blushed and said, "Oh dear, I didn't expect that young master would like someone older than me."
"Young master has excellent taste. Although I am old and faded now, I was once the most famous courtesan in Chang'an when I was young."
"So many men would spend a fortune just to spend a night with me."
"Don't worry, young master. Although I am not as young and beautiful as those young girls, I have never fallen behind in my work over the years."
"Tonight, I'll definitely make sure you, young master, are very well served..."
As she spoke, the madam reached out to take Wang Mian's arm.
Wang Mian dodged to the side, grabbed the other woman's wrist, and subdued her with a grappling move.
"Ouch, ouch, that hurts!"
"If you want to play, young master, let's go to the warm pavilion and take our time. My old bones can't take your antics in the street!"
Wang Mian asked coldly, "I'm asking you, is the current dynasty the Western Han?"
The madam frowned. "What dynasty? What Western Han Dynasty?"
Wang Mian suddenly realized that the Western Han dynasty was a division made by later generations to facilitate the distinction from the Eastern Han dynasty, which was usurped by Wang Mang.
People living in this era did not distinguish between the Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties.
"I'm asking you, is this the Great Han Dynasty now?"
"Yes, yes, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty. I'm warning you, you mustn't do anything reckless under the emperor's nose," the madam warned.
Wang released her and asked, "What year is it now?"
"What does 'year' mean?"
The madam glanced at the strangely dressed and strangely speaking King Mian. Could this guy be a spy sent from the Western Regions?
Wang Mian then changed his question and asked, "Is it the sixth year of Yuan Shou now?"
According to Gu Tianchen's hint, Lin Qiye and the others should have traveled back to the second year of Huo Qubing's (the Marquis of Champion of the Han Dynasty) sealing the wolf's lair.
According to historical records, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf's lair in 119 BC, which was the fourth year of Emperor Wu of Han's Yuanshou era.
Therefore, if Wang Mian wants to find Lin Qiye and the others, he has to travel back in time to the sixth year of Yuan Shou.
"It's the sixth year of Yuan Shou, young master, are you... alright?" The madam pointed to her head and asked with a puzzled look.
Wang Mian ignored her and turned to leave, but was attracted by a sneaky figure.
The man, dressed in a fiery red cloak and followed by two attendants in white robes, sneaked into the Dance Sleeves Pavilion.
Although the other person had covered their face with a veil, Wang Mian could still see a strand of fiery red hair that had fallen out.
Chloe!
Wang Mian hurriedly chased after him inside!
Chloe entered the private room with two attendants.
Attendant A said angrily, "The Emperor of the Great Han is really ungrateful! We haven't even finished explaining the Holy Lord's thoughts before he kicks us out. How rude!"
Chloe waved her hand and said, "Never mind, if it's not sincere, it goes against the Holy Lord's original intention."
Attendant B shook his head and said, "Alas, what a pity for the vast land of the Han Dynasty and its numerous people."
"If they could all become our believers, how much faith power that would provide."
Chloe said, "Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty refuses our missionary work, let's leave in a few days."
"Your Holiness, you have been traveling long distances to spread the word these past few days. I specially ordered this restaurant's specialty for you to relax and enjoy."
Chloe's eyes lit up. "This restaurant's specialty? What is it?"
Attendant A clapped his hands, the door opened, and a figure in a gray cloak with a black knife at his waist walked in.
"Um... you have to wear masks to serve customers?" Chloe raised an eyebrow.
Wang looked at Chloe with a serious expression and asked, "Chloe, where are Lin Qiye and Wu Quan?"
"Huh? What Night, what Spring? How do you know my name?" Chloe looked at the king with a blank expression.
Wang Mian asked with equal confusion, "You got separated from them?"
"What do you mean 'lost'? I don't know any of this Ye Quan you're talking about at all!"
Chloe stared at Wang Mian warily and asked, "You have fluctuations of mental energy on you. Are you a superhuman from Great Xia?"
The king had seen the Night's Watch's top-secret files and knew that this person was none other than Chloe, the Western Saintess.
But why won't she admit that she knows Lin Qiye and Wu Quan?
Could it be that the memory was lost when traversing the river of time?
"Alright, let's find them one by one and come with me to find Lin Qiye and Wu Quan," Wang Mian said.
"How dare you! Our Holy Maiden has important matters to attend to; she has no time to indulge in your nonsense!" Attendant A rebuked.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving with him, Wang slowly said, "Alright, since you don't want to leave now, then stay here. Once I find Lin Qiye and Wu Quan, we'll go back together."
With that, Wang Mian turned and left.
As Wang opened his door, the door to the room next door also opened at the same time.
"King's Face???"
"Lin Qiye???"
The two looked at each other in disbelief.
Lin Qiye looked at Wang Mian with suspicion and asked, "How did you end up here?!"
As he spoke, a magic circle rippled out, and Zhan Bai was already in his grasp behind his back.
Wang Mian removed his mask and said with a smile, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
"What, you gave up being the captain of the Nightfall Squad to go back to the Han Dynasty and become a gigolo?" Wang Mian asked with a smile, pointing to the beautiful women around him.
Lin Qiye's lips twitched slightly; this gigolo trope was really getting on his nerves...
Wang Mian took out an eight-foot-long jade pendant, which created a ripple of time.
"I came here across the river of time using this supreme artifact."
Lin Qiye confirmed that everything was correct and silently withdrew the Blade of Slash from his back.
"It's a long story. Come in, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
Following Lin Qiye into the room, one finds a military general in black armor and a scholar in a white Confucian robe sitting inside.
"Let me introduce you. This is Zhan Yuwu, the deputy general of Huo Qubing, the Marquis of Han. This is Yan Zhong, the Marquis's strategist."
"This is my friend Wang Mian, who also comes from the future, more than two thousand years from now."
"His identity has been confirmed; he has something to prove his identity."
"I came here specifically to find you. Where is Wu Quan?" Wang Mian asked.
“Wu Quan got a minor injury on his way here, and Chloe is taking care of him,” Lin Qiye said.
Wang Mian frowned. "Chloe is taking care of him?"
"Chloe...isn't she in the next room?"
