Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

She chuckled softly: "Xiao Yan, you're wrong. You're no longer with the Zhong family. No one can starve you, don't you remember?"

Zhong Yan looked at her in astonishment, his eyes filled with grievance and affection, which turned into a ferocious rage as he lunged at her.

However, in the end, it turned into starlight and disappeared before her eyes.

Zhong Ran watched calmly, her heart unmoved.

Perhaps because she has gone through the process of growing from a child to an old person, she suddenly became indifferent to everything.

"Zhong Ran, I'll kill you."

A ferocious voice came from Sun Yingqiu, whom he had met once before.

She was holding a dagger and was charging towards Zhong Ran.

"If it weren't for you, Grandpa wouldn't have imprisoned me in the guild. It's all your fault."

Zhong Ran looked on calmly, her voice equally indifferent: "If you hadn't harbored ill intentions, how could you have ended up like that?"

"It's all your fault, you've ruined all of us."

“Zhong Ran, you are a menace, a vixen. It’s all because of you that we are constantly scolded by our family and elders. It’s all your fault.”

"Zhong Ran, go to hell! If you die, we'll still be geniuses."

More and more young cultivators appeared before her, each one pointing at her with a ferocious expression and berating her.

The appearance of Zhong Ran and her brother was like an insurmountable mountain, weighing heavily on the hearts of all the young cultivators.

Whenever their cultivation progress was slow or something went wrong, the elders would always compare them to Zhong Ran and her brother in a stern tone.

This endless comparison made many young monks feel extremely depressed and frustrated.

Zhong Ran's appearance made them all look like idiots.

They couldn't accept such a disparity.

They were once the pride of their family, showered with love and praise from their elders, but everything changed after Zhong Ran and her brother appeared.

They cultivated desperately, but they could never catch up with the two of them. No matter how hard they tried, they could only look up to them.

This sense of frustration followed them like a shadow, gradually eroding their hearts and turning them into twisted and insane people.

Many people hated her to the core and wished they could kill her to vent their anger, yet she was always protected by many seniors.

Or she would hide all day long, making it difficult for anyone to find her.

Zhong Ranruo knew that her constant search for resources for promotion and her adventuring everywhere were seen by those geniuses as her hiding and running away. She really didn't know how to react.

Faced with these accusations from geniuses, she simply waved her sleeve, and everything vanished.

Zhong Ran didn't linger for those irrelevant people, but continued to move forward slowly, observing her short life.

I sometimes look back and wonder if I have any regrets about my past.

Looking closely, it seems there aren't any left.

She felt she had always done well, and had always sought revenge on the spot whenever possible.

Well, it's good that there are no regrets.

Unbeknownst to her, with these repeated shifts in her thoughts, she herself gradually returned from old age to youth, then from youth to girlhood, then to childhood, and finally to a helpless infant.

The baby grows up little by little, begins to cultivate, matures step by step, gets married and has children, and gradually grows old.

When her hair turned completely white again and she lost all her teeth, she felt a sense of peace and her whole body radiated a silvery-white halo.

As the halos spread, her face changed again, and her white hair slowly turned black.

When she opened her eyes, a glint of light flashed in them, and she returned to her original state.

Unbeknownst to her, as her mental constructs retreated from her sea of ​​consciousness, a layer of fine, silvery patterns began to appear on the inner walls of her sea of ​​consciousness.

The Eye of Illusion slowly rose from the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness, examining the patterns on the inner wall of her sea of ​​consciousness. A look of satisfaction flashed in its eyes, as if it were looking at a junior it had carefully nurtured.

Then, it once again disappeared into the depths of its consciousness.

Mu Jinning and Asheng opened their eyes at the same time. The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

It's good that everyone is okay.

Looking around, many people had already left, leaving only a few geniuses and their companions meditating here.

Everyone has returned to their original appearance, and there is no difference between them.

No, if someone familiar with the area looks closely, they can still see the differences.

His spirit was different; he seemed to radiate a faint halo, making him even more dazzling.

"Sister, should we wait for my cousin and the others?"

Although Ah Sheng has changed a bit, he is still the same simple-minded and stubborn Ah Sheng.

Zhong Ran looked at them, still sitting there cross-legged, but their full heads of white hair were gone.

Looking back, the old people over there had also climbed over the tree and left.

"Does that mean I'll recover if I leave here?"

Zhong Ran still felt something was strange, since they had almost climbed down to the bottom of the tree.

Even if those people crawl away, will things return to normal?

Mu Jinning said thoughtfully, "Everything we experienced before must have been due to this secret realm."

"These checkpoints should all be formed by arrays, and they are extremely high-level immortal arrays."

"Once we leave the formation, everything will be back to normal."

However, the injuries sustained in the previous levels still lingered on my body after I left.

I just don't know if my injuries will heal after I leave this place.

This injury is different from the previous ones.

These are the scars of time; I wonder if they can be healed with elixirs?

However, those are not things they should worry about.

Mu Jinning asked softly, "Should we leave here first, or wait for them here?"

Zhong Ran sensed something: "They're probably about to wake up."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Looking again, sure enough, Yun Tianyu and the others had already opened their eyes.

"Xiao Ran, you're all done? Let's go too, they've already passed by."

They stayed here to wait for Zhong Ran and the others.

Zhong Ran nodded slightly, lost in thought, but she didn't have time to think about it any further.

She looked at the trees, which transformed into twinkling starlight and surged towards them.

The people under the tree were all bathed in the starlight, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Although I don't know what this is, it feels very comfortable."

"Let's go. We've already gotten all the benefits. Let's see what challenges we still need to overcome."

Zhong Zhihong was in a good mood. He vaguely guessed that everything here must be related to the laws of time.

However, those things were too far removed from their understanding at the moment, and they couldn't comprehend them more deeply, so they set them aside.

The group left in high spirits, completely unaware of the immense benefits this experience would bring them in the future.

When they came out, they were surprised to find that something was different.
