Long River Eternity

"Alas... At first, I really felt disgusted with that girl. Relying on her high level of cultivation and being the daughter of Shennong, she was arrogant and rude, and had no respect for others. In the end, she disobeyed orders and acted alone, and ended up dying tragically at the hands of General Siren, and almost caused the failure of our mission." Ye Tingxue sighed helplessly.

Changing the subject, she continued, "But the transformation she underwent after her rebirth shocked me greatly. After experiencing death, she finally realized her mistakes and was no longer as arrogant as before. She completely devoted herself to the cause of fighting the Sirens, completely overturning my opinion of her."

"After all, he has died once. If he still doesn't understand his own problem, then he is truly hopeless." Yang Nian shook his head, his tone filled with regret.

"But speaking of that trip to the East China Sea, that nine-headed lion was quite interesting. At first, he appeared in human form and called himself Jiuling. Later, I learned that he was actually the legendary Jiuling Yuansheng." Ye Tingxue held the empty cup, a smile on his face, and recalled that time.

"Indeed." Yang Nian couldn't help but laugh. "Jiu Ling may look rough, but he's actually a gentle man who loves to use his knowledge to teach others. The funniest thing is, most of his knowledge is wrong, and Xiao An always contradicts him. Haha, it's hilarious!"

"At first I thought that since relations with the demon clan have been tense in recent years, the person Di Jun sent to assist us must be a tough guy who is difficult to get along with. I didn't expect him to be such an interesting person. Moreover, Di Jun himself is not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say. On the contrary, he seems very approachable." Ye Tingxue was filled with emotion when he mentioned Di Jun, the current acting leader of the Donghuangmu Sect.

Previously, due to the incident with the Golden Crow, everyone had a very negative impression of Di Jun, believing him to be a tyrannical man who indulged his offspring in their misdeeds. However, during their interactions in the Eastern Wilderness, everyone discovered that Di Jun was polite and well-mannered, and his words and actions were well-behaved, making them feel very comfortable.

"That's right. I heard that the reason why his ten sons often bully others is mainly because of their mother Xihe. As the body of the sun, Xihe has a hot temper. Once her sons make mistakes, she will punish them severely. So those Golden Crows are all good children at home, and all their negative emotions are vented outside." Yang Nian said in a low voice, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Really? I also heard that Xihe and her sister Changxi, one with the body of the sun and the other with the body of the moon, actually share the same husband. I couldn't believe it at first. It's so shocking." Ye Tingxue leaned close to Yang Nian and whispered, with surprise in her eyes.

At this moment, Yang An's voice came from behind: "I say, you two, how come you are both powerful people in the late Heyuan Realm now, but you are still gossiping about other people like the aunties at the village entrance?"

Ye Tingxue turned around and met Yang An's half-smiley gaze. Her heart tightened and her cheeks flushed. She said angrily, "How could you do this? You actually eavesdropped on girls' private conversations!"

"That's right, what we are talking about is not gossip, but knowing ourselves and the enemy, so that we can win every battle!" Yang Nian echoed from the side, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Okay, okay, you are all right." Yang An shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

At this time, Shi Gang and Qin Hanming, who had just finished their training, also came over. Seeing them approaching, Ye Tingxue asked in confusion, "Hey, he's so fat! Why didn't he train with you? Where did he go?"

"Where else can you go? Go and show your affection to that Nüba again." Shi Gang said with disdain.

"Haofei, this guy is really infatuated. He has been pursuing her for five years and hasn't given up yet?" Ye Tingxue asked curiously.

"Xiao Fei is really sincere this time. Ten years ago, in the Eastern Wilderness, Nüba was severely injured by the leader of the demon rebels in order to save Xiao Fei. I thought that with the timely arrival of the master, the injury would heal quickly, but I didn't expect that the rebels' attack contained wood element poison, which caused the sun fire in Nüba's body to go out of control and she was in a coma for five years. When she finally woke up, Xiao Fei began to pursue her madly." Qin Hanming said slowly, his eyes flashing with memories of the past.

"Doesn't Nuba like being fat? What does it mean that she neither agrees nor refuses?" Ye Tingxue was full of confusion.

"In fact, Nvba has a good impression of Hao Fei. It can be seen from their interactions. But she can't figure out whether Hao Fei really likes her or is doing it out of gratitude, so she has been hesitant." Yang Nian explained patiently.

"If you like each other, just be together. Why think so much? It's really weird." Ye Tingxue curled her lips, looking a little puzzled.

"You talk as if you understand it very well." Shi Gang teased behind her.

Ye Tingxue was stunned, then instantly understood Shi Gang's teasing, and her face suddenly heated up. She raised her hand and turned around, wanting to teach him a lesson, but found that there was no one behind her. Then she felt her arms lighten, and when she turned around, Shi Gang was already holding Kong and running into the villa quickly, shouting as he ran, "Brother Monkey, run! The tigress is going crazy!"

Ye Tingxue was so angry that she stood up and stomped her feet, then turned to Yang Nian and complained coquettishly: "Look at him!!"

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Lin Ding's initial confusion and anxiety, now filled with despair, had long since numbed his heart. He even wondered if Yang An's forceful pulling of him out of the dark space had drained his energy, leaving him trapped in memories forever, unable to return.

Since he couldn't go back for the time being, Lin Ding decided not to dwell on it anymore. He practiced with Yang An every day, learning his cultivation methods. At the same time, from their casual conversations, he also learned about the various events that had occurred in the past ten years.

Since everyone entered the Heyuan realm, the speed of cultivation improvement has slowed down significantly, because comprehending the laws is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Lin Ding's heart sank when he thought about how he had just entered the Heyuan realm. He thought his future breakthrough speed would probably be much slower than Yang An and the others. After all, they had the powerful Fuxi to guide them all the time.

Over the past ten years, Yang An and his seven companions were frequently assigned by Fuxi to travel and gain experience. Sometimes their missions were as simple as helping Shennong search for medicinal herbs, while other times they were sent on expeditions alongside Xuanyuan to resist foreign invasions. As they journeyed north and south, they encountered many people and objects that once existed only in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and in mythological stories, leaving them deeply moved.

What is often mentioned by everyone is that two years ago, Fuxi asked the seven of them to go to Beiming together to investigate the mass death of residents near Tianku.

Because the outline of the Black Emperor's body does not completely match the shape of the Sky Cave, heavy rains often occur near the Sky Cave.

After eight years of heavy rain, the area under the Tianku was frequently hit by floods, causing the people to suffer from dire straits and widespread misery.

So Tian Wu, the acting leader of Beiming Water Sect, sent a man named Gun to control the flood.

Gun was extremely intelligent and soon realized that the source of the flood was the crack in the Tianku. If the crack was not dealt with, no matter how much the flood was controlled on the ground, it would only be a temporary solution. However, although Gun was intelligent, he was eager to make a contribution. He stole the Xirang that was originally intended for Di Jun from Tianwu and tried to use the Xirang to block the crack in the Tianku.

However, he did not expect that although this Xirang was also a magical object that could grow by itself and penetrate every pore, its power was simply no match for the Tianshui. After just a few days, the Xirang was washed away by the Tianshui, and his efforts were in vain.
