After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Qiao Liang, sitting to the left of the man, listened quietly without offering any opinion.

After a moment of silence, the man spoke again: "Mirror Princess has been back for a while now. Let her go and lend a hand to Crimson Blood."

"Yes, I will inform her immediately," Qiao Liang replied respectfully.

The man nodded and said, "Have Xiaoqian come over."

"Yes!" Qiao Liang turned and left to carry out her duties.

The spacious hall was silent as the man closed his eyes to rest.

A quarter of an hour later, the doors of the main hall opened again, and a hunched old man slowly walked in.

The old man approached the man and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord of the Palace."

The man in the seat slowly opened his eyes and uttered a curt "Hmm" without any emotional fluctuation.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Xiao Qian asked respectfully to the man on the chair.

The man asked in a calm tone, "How is Si Wuxing's cultivation going?"

Xiao Qian replied, "Reporting to the Palace Master, the young master has already cultivated to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and is not far from the expected goal. He will certainly not delay the Palace Master's plan."

The man nodded: "Very good. Continue to urge him to cultivate. Fulfill all other requests that can be made. You may leave."

"Understood!" Xiao Qian respectfully withdrew from the main hall.

Looking at the tightly closed gate, Xiao Qian once again felt the cold-heartedness of the Palace Master. People often say that even tigers don't eat their cubs, but the Palace Master could even use his own son, showing no regard for his child's life.

If the young master knew that the cultivation technique he was practicing would lead to his death, I don't know how he would feel, but unfortunately, he doesn't know.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiao Qian slowly walked towards Si Wuxing's residence.

…………

After a three-month journey, Chi Yi, Ling Lili, Yun Fan, Bai Shu, Jin Haoyu, Xi Lan, and Yuan Jing finally arrived at the border.

The environment here is quite harsh, mostly Gobi and desert. Cultivators who come here must not only be careful of other people, but also be wary of natural phenomena such as sandstorms.

After a short rest at the border, Chi Yi and her group continued towards their destination, the City of Desire in the heart of the desert, which they had decided to visit earlier.

The City of Desire, a mysterious and alluring place, seems to be a concentrated manifestation of the desires deep within human nature. Here, one can pursue one's truest inner desires to the fullest, whether for material or spiritual fulfillment.

It's like a mirror; as long as you have a heart, you'll have desires, and people can't help but get caught up in them. There, people need to stay vigilant at all times to avoid being swallowed up by desires.

Because once out of control, desire will become a force that destroys everything, and Chi Yi and his companions are going to see this city that makes good people fearful and evil people extremely fond of.

Along the way, they encountered several small sandstorms, but they survived them without incident and even managed to clear away many desert insects and monsters that had collided with them.

Just as they were about to venture deep into the desert, a massive sandstorm struck without warning.

A fierce wind howled, and yellow sand filled the sky, making it impossible to open one's eyes. Everyone hurriedly sought shelter from the wind.

The group worked together to raise a shield to protect themselves, but they were no match for the powerful forces of nature, and the shield cracked more and more.

"We must find a way out as soon as possible!" Chi Yi shouted.

Everyone was trying to see their surroundings clearly and find a place to escape the massive sandstorm.
