After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

After having some breakfast and taking a nap, Yu Jinchen drove the yacht to a more distant place.

To ensure he could have a great time, he not only filled the fuel tank but also brought several extra cans of fuel. So the boat could run for thirty hours without any problems.

Xu Qingman stood at the bow of the boat, half-closing her eyes as she felt the gentle sea breeze and the soft rocking of the waves, feeling incredibly comfortable.

Suddenly, she saw a small island slowly rising from the sea to her left.

She shouted, "Ah... Jinchen, Jinchen, look to the left, look to the left."

Startled by her seemingly broken voice, Yu Jinchen's hand trembled, and the boat came to a stop.

Thinking she was in danger, he rushed to her side without thinking, hugged her in her dazed state, and anxiously asked, "Manman, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"No, you, look at what that is."

Following Xu Qingman's finger, Yu Jinchen looked over and saw that the island was still slowly rising.

Is this a mirage? But why does it feel so clear?

The two stood there on the boat, watching the island rise little by little until it was fully revealed.

No matter how Xu Qingman looked at it, it seemed to be the secret realm that Xiao Shitou had once mentioned.

"Jinchen, I think this might be a legendary secret realm. Why don't we go take a look?"

Yu Jinchen was bold enough to immediately agree to her suggestion. He ran to the wheelhouse and steered the boat toward the island.

The island was right in front of us, but even with our speed increased, it still took us nearly twenty minutes to get there.

The island was shrouded in a misty, ethereal atmosphere.

The island is surrounded by mountains, with a clear lake in the middle. The mountains are covered with lush forests and grass, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, truly giving the feeling of stepping into a fairyland.

Yu Jinchen suggested, "Slowly, shall we go up and take a look?"

"Okay, but we'll put the boat away first, so that no one finds out we're on the island."

Xu Qingman had now confirmed that the island was real, and it was probably a newly discovered secret realm. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided not to let anyone know that they were the first to arrive on the island.

She took out a small stone from her spatial storage and gave it to Yu Jinchen to wear as a robe. She herself had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was carrying a magical artifact engraved with a defensive array, so she decided to give the robe to him instead.

Yu Jinchen didn't refuse and took it to put on. He knew that with his cultivation level, having an extra layer of protection would ensure he wouldn't hold her back.

After disembarking and stepping onto the island, Xu Qingman stored the yacht in her spatial storage, and the two walked hand in hand towards the island.

After passing through layers of mist, a grove of trees covered in small blue flowers appeared before them. They didn't know what kind of trees these were; neither of them had ever seen them before.

Strangely, no matter which direction they went, the two could not get out of the forest.

It seems they have encountered a formation. However, even Xu Qingman has only recently begun to learn about formations and cannot find a way out yet.

Xu Qingman closed her eyes and gestured for Yu Jinchen to follow her. Guided by instinct, the two walked straight ahead.

When she felt the gentle breeze on her face, Xu Qingman knew that she had come out.

I opened my eyes and found myself in front of a peach orchard. The peach blossoms were in full bloom, but considering it was October, the season of golden autumn, it seemed completely out of place with these vibrant blossoms.

In any case, now that we're here, we have to find out what's going on on this island and see what mysteries it holds.

Fearing they might encounter some strange formation again, Xu Qingman took out a rope and tied their hands tightly together.

Lifting their feet, the two slowly stepped into the peach grove.

The two felt a flash of white light before their eyes, followed by a feeling of weightlessness. Then, with a loud thud, they were thrown directly from the air.

Xu Qingman scrambled to her feet, ignoring the pain in her body, and hurriedly looked at Yu Jinchen, who had fallen even more severely beside her.

"Jinchen, how are you?" Xu Qingman gently helped him up and asked.

"Slowly, I'm fine." Yu Jinchen opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Qingman held the weak Yu Jinchen close to her chest and quickly took out a healing pill and put it into his mouth.

"Jinchen, don't speak. Close your eyes and circulate your internal energy to absorb the healing medicine as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinchen obediently closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and slowly circulated his cultivation technique to aid the healing of his injuries with the medicinal pills.

Xu Qingman waited for a while before she saw him open his eyes and look at her with a smile.

"Jinchen, are you alright? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Yu Jinchen put his arm around her and replied, "I'm fine, baby, don't worry."

"Master, master."

Yu Jinchen suddenly froze. Had he hurt his head in the fall? Why did he feel a child's voice calling in his head?

"Slowly, have you ever heard a child's voice?"

Xu Qingman was stunned. "No, I didn't hear anything."

The voice rang in Yu Jinchen's mind again, "Master, it's me. I am the spirit of an ancient artifact. The blood you spat out just now sprayed onto me, which is how we signed a contract."

"Where are you? I can't see you," Yu Jinchen asked silently in his heart.

“Master, I am in your sea of ​​consciousness. You only need to silently think of me and you will be able to see me.”

Although Yu Jinchen was filled with doubt and uncertainty about the matter, his intuition told him that the owner of the voice would not harm him. So he silently thought, "I need to go in."

In a flash, he found himself in an unfamiliar place, with a child of about seven or eight years old standing in front of him, looking at him with a grin.

"Master, you've arrived."

Unfortunately, Yu Jinchen didn't have time to pay attention to him at that moment. Because Yu Jinchen realized that although he and Manman were clearly tied together, he was now all alone.

"Slowly,"

Yu Jinchen murmured a name, then turned around and asked coldly, "Where did you put my girlfriend?"

"She's still outside. If you want her to come in with you, then you must share this divine artifact with her. Are you willing?"

Yu Jinchen immediately replied, "I do."

"Okay, then go out and bring him in. Just like bringing him in, you only need to silently say 'go out' in your mind..."

Before the little fairy tale was finished, the man in front of her vanished in a flash.

"Jinchen, Jinchen, where have you gone?"

As soon as Yu Jinchen came out, he saw Xu Qingman with tears streaming down her face, frantically searching for him everywhere.

"Slowly, I'm here."

"Jinchen, you scared me to death!" Xu Qingman rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"How did you suddenly disappear? We were clearly tied together, but in the blink of an eye, there was only a rope left on my wrist."

"Slowly, let me tell you, I've unintentionally become bound to an ancient artifact. Inside..."

Xu Qingman listened with shining eyes as Yu Jinchen recounted the reason for his earlier disappearance.

Unexpectedly, he had such good luck. Just because he was injured and coughed up blood, he unintentionally made the divine artifact buried underground recognize him as his master.

The artifact is now within his consciousness, and he can enter it as well.

Space, it must be space, Xu Qingman thought excitedly.
