Sensing Si Xin Xin's slightly questioning gaze, Feng Ning He nodded gently in affirmation.
Si Xin Xin then sweetly called out, "Godmother, Godfather..."
At the first sect, in a secluded spot.
Two figures walked side by side.
Grandpa Luo paused his steps and looked at Si Jian Ye, "You want to go to the Dragon Realm?"
Few things could pique his interest.
Si Jian Ye had asked a lot about the Dragon Realm today, his intentions were obvious.
His thoughts exposed, Si Jian Ye did not deny it, his eyes burning with intensity, "That's right, I want to go to the Dragon Realm."
Only the Dragon Realm could answer the doubts in his heart.
Grandpa Luo's brows immediately furrowed, a hint of unease in his eyes, "The Dragon Realm is fraught with peril, are you sure you want to go?"
Si Jian Ye's cultivation was profound, he could easily traverse the entire Xuan Zhou Continent.
But the Dragon Realm was not even recorded in ancient texts. Its danger level was far beyond what the Xuan Zhou Continent could compare to. Even Si Jian Ye had to be cautious.
Si Jian Ye nodded. Sunlight shone on his handsome face, his eyes glinting with a golden hue, but the coldness in them did not diminish. "Only the Dragon Realm offers a chance to uncover my origins. Master, after I go to the Dragon Realm, Xin Xin will be entrusted to you."
With his master around, he was at ease.
Si Xin Xin had already found her mother. Feng Ning He and others were far inferior to him in comparison, but this woman had many life-saving means and could challenge opponents of higher cultivation. She could also protect Si Xin Xin well.
With many people guarding Xin Xin, he could leave with peace of mind.
"Even ancient texts do not mention the Dragon Realm, how will you go?"
Grandpa Luo's tone was slightly urgent, his gaze towards Si Jian Ye filled with eagerness.
Years ago, Grandpa Luo had taken Si Jian Ye away shortly after his birth, raised him, and taught him cultivation techniques.
This child's talent was innate. Even as a child, his cultivation was beyond that of ordinary people.
Even if Si Jian Ye did not cultivate, the surrounding spiritual energy would rush into his body like mad.
Grandpa Luo knew that this child was no ordinary being, and his future achievements would be immeasurable.
The reality was as he had imagined. Si Jian Ye became the King of the Underworld in Xi You Prefecture, revered by thousands.
Si Jian Ye looked up at the sky, his expression slightly somber, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions. "Master, when the time is right, I will have my own way to go to the Dragon Realm."
Grandpa Luo's brows furrowed even tighter. "Did someone tell you something?"
Si Jian Ye did not deny it, quietly looking at Grandpa Luo. "Master, don't worry, I will return alive."
His life was his own to control.
Even heaven could not take it.
Grandpa Luo was his master, but their relationship had long surpassed that of master and disciple.
Looking at Si Jian Ye's determined face and his upright, solitary figure, Grandpa Luo sighed softly. "Fine, if you want to go, then go..."
Although he did not know Si Jian Ye's origins, he believed that the person who gave birth to Si Jian Ye could not be ordinary.

In the Lin Kingdom, within a palace.
On a soft couch, two figures lay quietly.
A man with a devilishly charming appearance was embracing a meticulously made-up woman, his gaze fixed on her. "Yu Ran, your complexion has been worsening lately. Are you troubled?"
The woman called Yu Ran bit her lip, her expression slightly somber. "Bin Yu, I haven't been at ease these past few days."
Lin Yu Ran lowered her eyes to the jade bracelet on her wrist, filled with unease.
Ever since the phoenix bone within the jade bracelet emitted an unusual glow that day, she had been restless.
Sensing where her gaze was, Ji Bin Yu instantly understood her concern. "Isn't that woman already dead? What are you uneasy about?"
Lin Yu Ran bit her lip, unable to hide her worries. "A while ago, the phoenix bone emitted an unusual light, which made me very uneasy. That woman, she couldn't still be alive, could she..."
If that woman was not dead, her troubles would begin.
Ji Bin Yu lightly raised his eyelids and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist. "The phoenix bone was dug out from her. It can sense her. If that woman is still alive, we can use the phoenix bone to find her."
Lin Yu Ran's eyes suddenly brightened, she raised the jade bracelet as if seeing something extraordinary. "How do we do it?"
The man, while holding her with one arm, placed his other hand on the jade bracelet. A faint light emanated from his palm.
The jade bracelet immediately emitted a dim red glow.
The woman's pupils visibly widened. "What does this mean?"
Ji Bin Yu stared at the jade bracelet, narrowing his eyes. "The phoenix bone is not ordinary, there is indeed something unusual. Let's go to that woman's coffin first. The phoenix bone's abnormality doesn't necessarily mean she's alive, perhaps it just doesn't want to be refined by you."
Lin Yu Ran could no longer suppress her impatience and quickly stood up. "Let's go see now."
The enthronement ceremony was imminent, and she was about to become the new Empress of Lin. She absolutely would not allow any accidents to happen!
Even the slightest possibility had to be eliminated!
However, the man held her tightly, his hands roaming her body wantonly, his eyes greedily gazing at her shapely figure. "The coffin won't run away, we're not in a hurry to go. A night of spring romance is worth a thousand pieces of gold..."
In an empty grand hall.
A coffin lay quietly within the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, several maids were guarding.
Lin Yu Ran strode forward, her gaze turning to the maids. "Has anything unusual happened here?"
The maids hurriedly replied, "Princess, there is nothing unusual here."
She calmly withdrew her gaze, a hint of arrogance on her face. "All of you, withdraw."
Upon receiving the order, the maids dared not delay.
In just a moment, only Lin Yu Ran and Ji Bin Yu remained in the vast palace.
The man put his arm around her, resting his head lightly on her shoulder, wantonly sniffing the unique scent of the woman. "It seems there is no abnormality."
Lin Yu Ran's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on the coffin in the hall.
She raised her hand, and a surge of spiritual energy was sent towards the coffin.
The barrier on the coffin immediately dissipated completely.
Creak—
The heavy coffin lid was opened.
The woman stepped forward at this moment.
Inside the coffin lay a pile of white bones, clad in luxurious clothing and adorned with numerous jewels.
"See, the woman is like this now, you should be at ease, right?"
Ji Bin Yu held her, his gaze quietly fixed on the white bones.
A hundred years ago, the Empress of Lin had dominated the Lin Kingdom, a prodigy. Now, she was reduced to a pile of bones.
What was the point of being powerful?
Was she not destined to die?
Lin Yu Ran lightly snapped her fingers, and a ball of flame instantly incinerated the white bones!
Only then did the uneasy feeling in her chest gradually subside. A confident smile spread across her lips, her mood clearly improved. "I buried her with my own hands. Even if it's just a pile of bones, I can still recognize her."
"The dead cannot be resurrected. Moreover, her soul had already died at the time, there is absolutely no possibility of her being alive."
As she spoke, the man kissed her, his other hand already caressing her thigh. "Yu Ran, why don't we... right here in this hall... in front of her..."
Lin Yu Ran found it amusing and met the man's kiss...
