Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

—Anyway, from the very beginning they didn't think their teacher would use any normal methods...

However...

My gaze lingered on the direction where Yunping and the others had stood before they disappeared—

"Luo Kui and Lao San..."

Holding the gray tiles in his hand, Jiang Yuetian recalled the appearances of the two people and the ambiguous relationship between them, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

As Yuan'er climbed the ladder onto the roof, she happened to see her senior brother's furrowed brows and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing..." Jiang Yuetian smiled and shook his head, then said with a strange expression, "I was just wondering, after all these years, will there be any special progress between Lao San and Luo Kui?"

"Special progress?" Even Zhang Ruoxue, who was in the courtyard, heard Jiang Yuetian's words: "What special progress could they possibly have?"

"Although this is just my guess... um... think about it, didn't the third brother... have a rather unsuccessful relationship experience?"

Yuan'er nodded: "That's true."

Apart from Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen, everyone else present had witnessed that heartbreaking and frustrating scene.

Su Yu, who had a ten-year relationship with Jiang Shaoguang, ultimately did not choose Jiang Shaoguang. Instead, she followed her parents' wishes and became a tool for the Su family to arrange a marriage.

Jiang Shaoguang never mentioned the matter again after that, and he acted quite cheerfully, as if nothing had happened.

But those who know him well know that he is a very reserved person. He likes to keep many things to himself and not say a word. Perhaps he appears to be fine on the outside, but his heart may already be full of holes.

After all, ten years of relationship isn't something you can just throw away.

Recalling that scene, Jiang Yuetian couldn't help but sigh and said, "After that, Luo Kui has been very close to the third brother. I suppose she was trying to comfort him. After all, they both have some bad pasts. Although one side is love and the other is family, they may have some similarities."

"Then I started thinking... what if they spent a lot of time together and... cough cough... sparks flew?"

……

As soon as those words were spoken...

Silence suddenly fell upon the hundred-meter-long green leaves of the Divine Tree Seven Dreams.

The group looked at each other in surprise, their faces displaying a variety of expressions.

Finally, Jiang Yuetian broke the terrible silence first. He suddenly chuckled twice and said, "You don't need to think about it so seriously. I'm just guessing."

"Haha, yeah...that's true." Zhang Ruoxue chuckled twice. "Surely such a thing won't happen..."

"Even though so many years have passed, it shouldn't be that bad... Ahahaha..." Xiao Lin Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat as she tightly gripped her facial muscles.

Meanwhile, Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen on the other side also began to work silently with their heads down.

For a time, the still incomplete Yuntian Academy fell into a long silence.

Everyone lowered their heads and went about their own business.

In this boundless silence, they could hear their own inner voice with unparalleled clarity.

A psychology called curiosity is amplified infinitely in their minds.

……

Lin Yuan: (Suddenly I really want to know if those two actually sparked anything!)

Zhang Ruoxue: (So many years have passed, they wouldn't even have a child, would they? If so, what would they name the child? How should I address that child?)

Jiang Yuetian: (Although I was just making this up, I'm really curious to know how far things have progressed between them... Will there be any passionate moments... Our college doesn't seem to object to self-production and self-consumption, does it?)

Lu Yingqiu: (Suddenly I really want to slip away and go to the Desolate Heaven Domain to see Uncle Jiang and the others...)

Ning Xuchen: (Wait a minute, will their child still be of a higher generation than me?)

Just at this moment.

Those who stayed behind to rebuild the academy completely lost interest in building houses.

3. The Blackwater Abyss Incident

Unlike the others who were lost in thought on the leaves of the Seven Dreams Divine Tree of Jitian Yihong at this moment, Yunping's thoughts were also beginning to wander, but it was not out of simple curiosity or gossip.

His face was more somber than most of the time, and his obsidian eyes held an indescribable heaviness.

Yun Ping did not take Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo directly to the Northern Ice Palace—even though his divine sense had indeed located Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui there.

These two disciples of mine seem to be getting quite close, and they are not in any immediate danger. However, their spiritual energy and souls are constantly fluctuating violently, which is somewhat unusual.

Even so, after arriving at the Far Eastern Snowfield of the Desolate Sky Domain, Yunping still did not choose to go directly to the Northern Ice Palace.

Because the moment he stepped into that snowy field, he realized something very bad was about to happen.

"really……"

It was a cold, snowy day.

This time, the portal girl did not cause any accidents and sent them all to the far eastern snowfield of the Desolate Sky Domain.

The young man in white, standing in the cold wind, gazed at the gloomy cave in front of him, which was completely exposed, with a solemn and dignified expression.

In fact, he had already sensed that something extremely absurd might have happened in the Desolate Sky Domain before he even arrived.

This absurd incident is very likely related to his two apprentices, and who knows, it might also be related to his past.

Ye Yuchan's expression was also slightly strange. She first glanced at the somewhat familiar cave in front of her, and her body trembled twice.

Although her physical body was refined from the essence of ash and soil, the icy cold of the Far East Snowfield still made Ye Yuchan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She rubbed her small hands together, trying to warm her stiff fingers, then turned back to look at her teacher: "You old rogue, don't you really need to go find Luo Kui and the others first?"

"I'm afraid even if we find them now, it will be of no use." Yun Ping replied calmly, his gaze fixed on the seemingly bottomless cave ahead: "Things might be developing in a bit strange."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xingzhuo sensed something was wrong and kept examining the cave in front of him: "This cave... I seem to remember it."

Yun Ping turned his head and glanced at Gu Xingzhuo: "You've been here before, but you weren't who you were back then."

"I am not myself yet..." Upon hearing this, Gu Xingzhuo understood the meaning within a few seconds.

Gu Xingzhuo has indeed never been here.

But the impermanence of life and death, being one of the twenty-one extremes, did come.

In other words, Gu Xingzhuo had been here and entered this cave in his previous life, which is why he had a strange sense of familiarity.

Ye Yuchan stared at the cave for a long time. Suddenly, long-dormant memories were awakened in her mind. She clapped her hands and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, I remember now, isn't this the Blackwater Abyss?!"

"Blackwater Abyss...?!"

Even Gu Xingzhuo was taken aback.

Speaking of Blackwater Abyss, it is probably known to everyone in the Desolate Sky Domain, but only a very few people with the right fate know where Blackwater Abyss exists, and those who actually step into it are probably extremely rare.

As the lair of the Black Dragon King Jueying, a close friend of the former Martial Emperor, Blackwater Abyss is also the location of Blackwater Emperor Ice, one of the twenty-one ultimate ices, held by the Black Dragon King Jueying. It is said that it was because of this Blackwater Emperor Ice that the invincible Black Dragon King was born back then.

Yun Ping nodded noncommittally, his expression somewhat strange: "It's different from last time—the entrance to the Blackwater Abyss isn't equipped with any magic arrays this time."

“…Oh right.” Ye Yuchan suddenly realized, “It seems that we set up the Azure Sky Array last time.”

She remembered that Chu Xin and Fang Yan, who belonged to the Imperial Emperor Wen's Historical Research Group, encountered difficulties here and were blocked by the Azure Sky Array. Later, the old rogue made a move... no, he kicked the array to break it.

That makes sense. Blackwater Abyss is a place where twenty-one extremes are hidden, so how could just anyone enter? Setting up a magic array to filter out some incompetent people is only natural.

But now, the cave is laid bare before everyone, without any restrictions or obstructions whatsoever.

Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo exchanged a glance, and the two senior and junior disciples simultaneously reached a shocking conclusion—

"Blackwater Abyss...something's happened?!"

"Hmm." Yun Ping nodded. "It's very likely, and there are actually some magic arrays set up here..."

"Instead, the magic array was set up and then breached."

Even with Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo's keen eyesight, they couldn't see the traces of the damaged magic array, but Yun Ping could.

The moment his gaze swept over the cave, he knew that some time ago, the entrance to the Blackwater Abyss had been breached by an unknown force.

And what's even stranger is—

"They actually breached it from within."

"Inside?" Ye Yuchan's mind started racing: "Could there be internal strife in the Blackwater Abyss?"

Gu Xingzhu shook his head, denying Ye Yuchan's guess: "It should be impossible. Black Dragon King Jueying has ruled the dragon race for countless years and has never changed its leader. His prestige among the dragon species is unparalleled. There is basically no dragon that dares to disobey him."

Yun Ping lowered his eyelids, his expression grave: "If you want to know the reason, you'll have to go in and take a look."

to be frank.

He had a very ominous premonition.

I haven't felt this way in countless years.

It felt as if thousands of silver needles were touching my back, as if if I took a wrong step, those silver needles would pierce my acupoints.

There are very few things in this world that can give him this feeling.

Are they those two patriarchs?

Or is it that woman he's quite wary of?

He unusually had a somber expression, and his mind was already beginning to ponder the ins and outs of all this.

Upon entering the cave, the mysterious realm that should have been entwined within it was no longer there. Ye Yuchan was even prepared to see that terrifying dragon spirit's giant shadow again, but that chilling illusion never appeared.

Everything was quite peaceful; they could even hear the sound of water droplets falling from the stalactites at the top of the cave.

Finally, the three arrived at the depths of the cave—before the pool of dark, viscous liquid.

"Let's go."

This time, Yunping did not let Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo go first, but instead stepped in himself first.

Without hesitation, Ye Yuchan and Gu Xingzhuo stepped into the pool of seemingly viscous and disgusting black water, and then disappeared into the cave.

Scene change.

Space is inverted and fragmented as always.

Perhaps because she had already gotten used to the dizziness caused by the portal, the process of entering the Blackwater Abyss was not so painful for Ye Yuchan. She even felt that the process was relatively short.

But when I opened my eyes again, I was presented with a completely different scene.
