420: Thank you, Brother Su Ming!

"Let's go now!"

"I don't want to stay here for another minute!"

Feng Xi turned to leave without hesitation, as if she didn't want to linger here for a moment longer.

When she learned that Cangmang Dao Palace was nearby, her calm face immediately became solemn.

Her eyes were filled with unconcealed fear.

Although she didn't know much about the Vast Immortal Domain, she was aware of some of the most famous powers.

Especially Cangmang Dao Palace, which was originally one of the strongest powers in the Vast Immortal Domain, but has now been occupied by the Eerie Clan.

In Feng Xi's eyes, Cangmang Dao Palace was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous place, far exceeding the Star Radiance Mountain Range in danger.

Su Ming, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

He sighed inwardly.

"This woman! She really changes her mind in an instant. One second she doesn't want to return to the Star Radiance Immortal Realm, the next she changes her mind faster than flipping a book!"

Immediately, Su Ming took Feng Xi towards the Star Radiance Mountain Range... Half a year later!

Star Radiance Mountain Range, the clouds and mist remained.

Upon returning to the Sect, the familiar scent of grass and trees allowed Su Ming's tense nerves to relax slightly.

He turned his head to look at Feng Xi, who was quietly following beside him.

He noticed a hint of curiosity in her eyes as she surveyed the Sword Pavilion hidden behind the waterfall.

"I'll arrange a place for you to stay first."

Su Ming's voice was not loud, but it was very clear.

He led Feng Xi directly to the depths of the Secret Realm, where there was a secluded small bamboo house.

That was a place Zhuge Qing specially built for their living.

"You will live in the Sword Pavilion from now on. You must not leave the Secret Realm, otherwise the Golden Crow Clan might discover your whereabouts!"

Su Ming instructed, then added.

"If you need anything, you can find Senior Brother Lin Tian. Senior Brother Lin usually doesn't have much to do and is quite leisurely!"

Feng Xi nodded gently upon hearing this, speaking little from beginning to end.

After settling Feng Xi, Su Ming turned and left, his steps a little faster than when he arrived.

Without a moment's delay, he headed straight for another bamboo house courtyard.

That was Zhou Lingxi's residence.

Before he even got close, a gust of Sword Wind blew towards him.

Su Ming stopped.

In the courtyard, Zhou Lingxi was seen swinging her longsword over and over again.

Her movements became faster and faster, as if she wanted to vent the frustration in her heart through this method.

Su Ming did not interrupt, just watched quietly.

It wasn't until Zhou Lingxi was exhausted, propping her sword on the ground, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, that Su Ming slowly walked over.

"Your Sword Intent is good, but your mind is in disarray."

The sudden voice made Zhou Lingxi stiffen, and she abruptly turned her head.

When she saw it was Su Ming, the vigilance in her eyes turned into astonishment.

"Brother Su Ming?"

"When did you come back?"

"Just now."

Su Ming walked up to her, his gaze falling on her dim eyes.

"Something on your mind?"

Zhou Lingxi's eyes dimmed, and she subconsciously clenched her fists, then took a deep breath as if she had made some kind of decision.

"I'm too weak!"

"I don't want to hold Brother Su Ming back. The Vast Immortal Domain is too dangerous, and I, for now, still need everyone's protection!"

Su Ming chuckled lightly.

"Silly girl!"

"I never felt that you were holding me back!"

"Bringing you out of the Great Zhou Dynasty and protecting you is what I should do!"

He then spread his palm, and a warm, white jade vial appeared in his hand.

As soon as the vial appeared, the ambient air temperature plummeted, and a thin layer of white frost even condensed on the ground.

Zhou Lingxi's gaze was instantly drawn to it. She felt a throbbing sensation from the depths of her Bloodline, causing the spiritual energy within her body to spontaneously boil.

"This... what is this?"

Her voice held a trace of imperceptible tremor.

"Something that can make you a top powerhouse!"

Su Ming replied with a question, flicking his finger, and the stopper flew out.

Buzz!

An extremely cold divine aura instantly erupted.

A drop of essence blood, crimson with specks of icy blue light, slowly floated from the mouth of the vial, suspended in mid-air.

That drop of blood seemed to possess life, and within it, a phantom of an Ice Phoenix seemed to spread its wings and cry out!

Zhou Lingxi's body trembled violently, her eyes fixed on that drop of essence blood, her breathing completely halted.

Her Immortal Eyes glowed with unprecedented heat at this moment, like a traveler who had been thirsty for ten thousand years finally seeing a sweet spring!

"This... what kind of blood is this, exactly?"

Zhou Lingxi's trembling voice escaped her lips.

"The heart essence blood of the Ice Phoenix Great Emperor!"

Su Ming flicked his finger, and that drop of essence blood lightly floated towards Zhou Lingxi.

She subconsciously reached out to catch it.

When that bone-chilling yet terrifyingly powerful essence blood landed in the jade box she had prepared, her fingertips trembled.

Zhou Lingxi suddenly looked up at Su Ming, her eyes instantly reddening. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't utter a single one.

She knew very well how important this drop of essence blood was to Su Ming.

The Ice Phoenix Great Emperor's essence blood, that was from an Immortal Emperor level powerhouse.

Such a precious item, Su Ming just casually gave it to her.

"Alright, don't just stand there foolishly."

Su Ming waved his hand.

"Find a place to go into seclusion, absorb it, and I'll wait to see how strong your Awakened Immortal Eyes truly are!"

Zhou Lingxi, at his words, forcibly held back her tears, though her reddened eyes betrayed her current emotions.

Zhou Lingxi nodded heavily, clutching the jade box in her hand.

"Thank you... Brother Su Ming!"

Without any unnecessary words, Zhou Lingxi turned into a streak of light and headed straight for her residence.

Watching her disappearing back, Su Ming's face showed a relieved smile.

With Zhou Lingxi's matter temporarily resolved, Su Ming began to consider his next plans.

Although he still had one simulation chance, Su Ming did not intend to use it now.

This simulation had already informed Su Ming of the subsequent development of events.

As long as the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect's premature attack and the Awakening conditions of the Sword Emperor Remnant Soul were avoided, there would be no further danger.

Instead of simulating now, it would be better to Cultivate properly and use it after the simulation cooldown ends in twenty-two years.

At the same time, Su Ming also noticed a slight anomaly.

In the previous simulation, there was an option where he degenerated into a Weird being.

Su Ming remembered very clearly that if he chose the Realm of a Weird Immortal King at that time, the simulation cooldown would be twenty-five years, but a normal choice would result in a twenty-year cooldown.

Combining this with the result of one simulation, Su Ming could assert that if he degenerated into a Weird being, the simulation cooldown would significantly decrease.

However, he would not do that.

In these twenty-two years until the simulation cooldown ends, he has many things to accomplish.

The foremost is the problem of the Weird Insects within his body.

Thinking of this, Su Ming lifted his foot and walked towards Ye Chuxue's residence.

"It's time to solve the problem of the Weird Insects!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Ming looked at the tattoo on his arm...
