A passing traveler through the heavens

Bai Lian Daoist, carrying the unconscious Zhao Gongming, hurried to a hillside where Ji Lin had been waiting for a long time.

In the battle just now, Zhao Gongming's snow mastiff armor was destroyed, and he was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Upon seeing this, Ji Lin waved his hand, and a soft light instantly enveloped Zhao Gongming. Nourished by this light, Zhao Gongming's injuries quickly healed.

At the same time, Ji Lin also carefully sensed whether the power of the Light and Shadow Armor still remained in Zhao Gongming's body.

After some investigation, he determined that the Snow Mastiff Armor that Zhao Gongming had activated on the battlefield was a one-time use power that would not reappear after it disintegrated.

The White Lotus Taoist stepped forward and handed over the Starry Sea Fan. Ji Lin took it and slowly fanned himself.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Lin in front of him. He was initially delighted, but the next second, his eyes became wary.

Zhao Gongming looked Ji Lin up and down, and asked in a tentative voice, "Are you Ji Lin?"

Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly, "It is indeed I."

Zhao Gongming's eyes still held suspicion. He struggled to sit up, bracing himself with his hands on the ground, and demanded, "How can you prove it?"

To dispel Zhao Gongming's doubts, Ji Lin summoned the Snow Mastiff Armor instantly and then disassembled it.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming's eyes reddened, and he rushed over excitedly to hug Ji Lin tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "It really is you!"

This sudden action left Ji Lin somewhat bewildered, silently wondering, "When did I become so familiar with Zhao Gongming?"

Before Ji Lin could react, Zhao Gongming grabbed his hand and was about to take him away.

"Wait, don't rush, where are you taking me?" Ji Lin forcefully broke free from Zhao Gongming's hand, his brows furrowed, his face full of confusion.

Zhao Gongming said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'll take you to see my three younger sisters. They've missed you so much all these years."

"The Three Immortals?" Ji Lin asked, full of doubt. Rumors about the Three Immortals flashed through his mind, but he couldn't recall any deep past with them.

"Of course, don't tell me you've forgotten them." Zhao Gongming said, his face showing signs of anger, his hands unconsciously clenching as he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

Upon seeing this, Ji Lin immediately replied, "Of course not. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm a little dazed."

Although Ji Lin said this, he was increasingly curious about what had happened between him and Zhao Gongming and the others.

Afterwards, Ji Lin whispered a few instructions to Bai Lian Dao Ren, and then followed Zhao Gongming on the journey to the Three Immortal Islands.

The Three Immortals Island is located in the East China Sea. As they approached, they saw a vast expanse of blue water all around, with waves surging and making a deafening sound.

The entire island was shrouded in thick clouds and mist, with strange lights flickering faintly within the fog, making it relatively isolated from the outside world.

Beneath the island, spiritual veins crisscross, and rich spiritual energy gushes out like boiling spring water, forming a faint halo of spiritual energy that gently envelops the entire island.

Along the way, Ji Lin also learned some things from Zhao Gongming through subtle means.

According to Ji Lin's own understanding, at some point in the future, Ji Lin returned to the past for some reason and thus met Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.

As soon as they set foot on the Three Immortals Island, they heard Zhao Gongming shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Three ladies, come out quickly, see who I've brought back for you!" The voice echoed across the island, startling a flock of roosting spirit birds.

Ji Lin stood beside Zhao Gongming, curiously examining the layout of the Three Immortals Island. Soon, three women gracefully emerged from a palace called the Three Immortals Palace in front of them.

They had beautiful faces, with features as exquisite as meticulously sculpted works of art, and graceful figures, each step seemingly carrying a unique rhythm.

They are none other than the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds—Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

Before Ji Lin could observe the three of them properly, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao instantly appeared beside him.

Qiongxiao's eyes sparkled with tears of joy. She opened her arms and hugged Ji Lin's neck tightly. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid that the person in front of her would suddenly disappear.

At the same time, Bixiao pounced from the other side, wrapped her arms around Ji Lin's waist, buried her face in his chest, and mumbled something.

"I'm so glad to see you again." Her voice was trembling with tears, soft and aggrieved.

Yunxiao, on the other hand, was much gentler. She leaned lightly on Ji Lin's shoulder, placed one hand on his arm, and looked at him with tenderness in her eyes.

In an instant, Ji Lin felt three rich fragrances waft towards him, lingering around his nose and making him feel slightly dizzy.

His body stiffened instantly, and he dared not move at all. His hands hung awkwardly at his sides, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

Zhao Gongming watched from the side, a gratified smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into slits. After a short while, Zhao Gongming spoke.

"Alright, alright, you've hugged enough, let go now." Only after Zhao Gongming spoke did the Three Immortals reluctantly release Ji Lin.

Zhao Gongming smiled at Ji Lin, his eyes full of warmth: "Brother Ji Lin, please come with me and my three sisters into the hall for a chat." After saying that, he led everyone towards the Sanxiao Palace.

Stepping into the Sanxiao Palace, one is immediately struck by its luxurious and exquisite atmosphere. The floor is paved with lustrous jade, and the walls are inlaid with round and full luminous pearls, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the dome, each crystal refracting a dazzling array of colors, casting a dreamlike light.

Everyone took their seats, and Yunxiao waved her hand gently, and several celestial children entered in single file, carrying spiritual tea and trays laden with delicacies.

The aroma of tea lingered in the hall, mingling with the enticing scents of the delicacies.

Qiongxiao was the most impatient of them all. Before everyone had finished drinking the spiritual tea, she couldn't help but speak, her voice filled with undisguised urgency.

"Where have you been all these years? We haven't heard from you at all, and we were so worried about you."

Her eyes were fixed on Ji Lin, filled with concern, as if she wanted to convey all the worries she had had over the years to him through her gaze.

Ji Lin was slightly taken aback. He picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and let the scalding hot spiritual tea slide down his throat, trying to calm his flustered heart.

At the same time, his mind raced as he considered various solutions.

He put down his teacup, a perfectly timed apologetic smile on his face, and slowly said, "It's a long story. I've been through a lot of ups and downs, and my memory is a bit muddled. I can't remember many things clearly."

Upon hearing this, Bixiao pouted instantly, her face full of grievance, and her eyes slightly reddened.

"How could you forget us? Don't you remember the time we spent together on Three Immortal Islands?" Her voice was trembling with tears, causing a pang of heartache to run through the listener.

Looking at their expectant yet slightly disappointed eyes, Ji Lin became increasingly puzzled, but since things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm trying to remember, but it will take some time."

Yunxiao had been quietly observing Ji Lin's demeanor and behavior, and upon seeing this, he already understood a bit of what was going on.

She moved gracefully to a nearby table, picked up an ancient jade slip, walked up to Ji Lin, and handed it to him.

Ji Lin looked at the jade slip in front of him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yunxiao explained softly, "This was something you specifically instructed me to do when you were still alive. If you ever come back in the future and don't remember anything, I should give you this jade slip."

Ji Lin took the jade slip, asked no questions, and silently put it away.

Afterwards, everyone continued chatting at the dinner table, with laughter and cheerful conversation. However, Ji Lin remained puzzled and would occasionally drift off into thought.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone was slightly tipsy. Under the guidance of the fairy boy, Ji Lin checked into the room that the Three Immortals had prepared for him.

Once the door was closed and he was alone in the room, Ji Lin couldn't wait to take out the jade slip that Yunxiao had given him on the dining table.

As soon as he probed the jade slip with his divine sense, the jade slip immediately emitted a strange light and changed.

It turned out that this so-called jade slip was actually a device for storing items, and what shocked him even more was that it contained a mobile phone…
