All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Yao Feibai shrugged, not even having time to explain.

“I only said I can’t cook, but I didn’t say she didn’t eat.”

But Nian Zhao didn't hear a single word of that last sentence.

He was worried about his young apprentice, who hadn't eaten for over three months.

He sent the person back and generously took out some of all the food from the ring and put it on the table.

"Pick something, see what you like to eat."

Feng Ning smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I want to eat roast chicken."

Nian Zhao glared at her, "No!"

"You change your mind really quickly."

"Be honest with yourself, you're not fully recovered yet, so don't think about those unnecessary things."

He then stuffed two spiritual fruits into her arms, saying, "You've already mastered abstaining from grains, so you don't need to eat anything. Just eat these two spiritual fruits to restore your strength. Don't pretend to be pitiful."

While munching on a spiritual fruit, Feng Ning said, "You are truly heartless, Valley Master of Heartless Valley."

"I have something even more outrageous to say. Tell me, what were you doing running off like that three months ago? Don't you even know your own strength? Could you beat those people? If you couldn't, didn't you call for help? You've ruined yourself like this, what are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Not really... it's just that I didn't expect it."

"Didn't expect you couldn't run away? What are all those things you made for? So others can use them, but you can't, huh?"

"It can be used, but those people are all at the Nascent Soul stage or above. I can't outrun them."

Nian Zhao's pupils contracted. "Above the Nascent Soul stage? Are you sure?"

Yao Feibai was also taken aback.

Is she that strong? No wonder she was injured like this, no wonder Duan Menghua couldn't stay.

But...how is this possible?

Feng Ning nodded. "I'm certain that his strength is definitely above the Nascent Soul stage."

Then, he briefly explained the situation of Akabane Rin and Akamine.

After hearing this, the other two had similar thoughts.

Perhaps it really is a powerful expert from somewhere.

But the two of them couldn't believe it no matter how they thought about it.

Feng Ning tilted her head to look at the two of them, feeling that their expressions were a bit off. "What's with those expressions?"

Nian Zhao looked somewhat worried. "If what you said is true, then Duan Menghua is probably gone forever."

A flicker of anxiety crossed Feng Ning's eyes. "Why?"

Why can't it be found?

She was so calm because she thought she could find it again. If she really couldn't find it, how would she face this situation?

Nian Zhao noticed her anxiety and quickly pressed her down on the bed. "Don't panic. Let me tell you, this matter is far more complicated than you think."

Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, Feng Ning gradually calmed down.

She sighed and said, "Go ahead and tell me, I won't act impulsively."

Upon hearing her words, Nian Zhao then explained the whole story.

It turned out that the world of cultivation was far larger than she had imagined.

The continent they lived on was called the Xuanling Continent, which was just a low-level continent. There were many other low-level continents like it.

At their current level, they don't even have access to more parts of the mainland.

Even among the lower-level continents of the same level, they only know about the nearest one, Cangshan Continent, and that news dates back tens of thousands of years.

Not to mention higher-level continents.

Above the Xuanling Continent, there are also some higher-level continents, where the spiritual power and the cultivation level of the people are far superior to those of the lower-level continents.

According to ancient records, cultivators on the high-level continent awaken their spiritual roots and begin cultivation at the age of five.

Compared to them, who only started cultivating at the age of fifteen, most of the other disciples had already reached the Golden Core stage by the age of fifteen, and some highly talented disciples had even reached the Nascent Soul stage or higher.

According to Feng Ning, the old man's cultivation level had surpassed that of the Nascent Soul stage, while the young man's cultivation level was already at the late Golden Core stage.

This suggests that they are very likely from a higher-level continent.

After listening, Feng Ning felt her head spinning.

If it were just a high-level continent, that would be fine; she would go there someday and find someone eventually.

But unfortunately, all her meridians are now severed! She can't cultivate at all, so how can she go to the higher-level continents?

She gradually calmed down, and the urgency in her expression disappeared.

She shouldn't have been in such a hurry.

Things must be solved one by one, and the road must be walked one step at a time.

She needs to find someone, and she can't just let herself be a useless person.

Watching others' cultivation levels rise and their lifespans lengthen while they quietly grow old and die.

This is not her style.

Even if she isn't the female lead of the world, as a transmigrator, she can't dominate the scene while alive, but she should at least die in a spectacular way, right?

They can't have died from resentment, can they?

After listening to Nian Zhao and Yao Feibai's analysis, she became even more serious.

Nian Zhao expressed some concern, saying, "Ning'er, don't worry, let's take it slowly. I will definitely find a way to repair your meridians."

Feng Ning nodded, "Master, I'm not in a hurry."

Nian Zhao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Yao Feibai said, "Even if you're anxious, it won't do any good."

"why?"

Nian Zhao interrupted him, "What else could it be? It's just so you can rest well and recover from your injuries as soon as possible. You can only go to the higher-level continent when you can cultivate again, right?"

Feng Ning looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Is that what you mean?"

Receiving a warning look from Nian Zhao, Yao Feibai still nodded, "That's what I mean."

Feng Ning was somewhat skeptical, but ultimately didn't press the matter. Seeing that the two wouldn't say anything, why waste her breath?

She felt sleepy again and yawned, saying, "Master, Xiaobai, I'm sleepy. You should go back and rest early too."

Nian Zhao nodded and placed the tea on the stool by her bedside. "Then go to sleep early."

Feng Ning nodded, and the two of them went out.

Feng Ning was genuinely tired, and as soon as the two of them stepped out, she fell into a deep sleep.

After Yao Feibai left, he asked with some confusion, "Why didn't Fourth Elder tell her the truth?"

A hint of worry flashed in Nian Zhao's eyes. "Give her some hope. If she knew that all her paths were blocked, how would she endure it?"

Yao Feibai finally agreed with him, "Fourth Elder's considerations are thorough; I was mistaken."

Nian Zhao patted him on the shoulder, "Go back and rest early, you've worked hard these past few days."

Yao Feibai shook his head. "The three of us are friends, and also the best partners."

"it is good."

Yao Feibai returned to his residence, while Nian Zhao stood there for a while before leaving Xiaoyao Peak and heading to the main peak.

"Senior brother, I have something to discuss with you."
