13: Chapter 13 A Thousandfold Return, Primordial Immortal Bones!

But at this moment, Xiao Fan couldn't hear a single word.

His eyes had already turned a deep shade of crimson.

Leaving behind only endless resentment and madness.

Meanwhile.

Su Yuxi was completely stunned.

Her cold phoenix eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

A supreme bone!

What he had given her was actually a segment of a supreme bone!

Such a precious, Heaven-Defying divine object.

And he just gave it to her so casually?

And said he specifically sought it out for me?

At this moment, Su Yuxi's small mind.

Involuntarily recalled.

Xiao Fan's earlier indignant accusation.

"Lin Yi used despicable means to snatch the Opportunity that was about to fall into my hands!"

So that's it...

So that's how it was!

His so-called secluded cultivation these past few days... he went to the God-Falling Gorge!

It seems what he snatched from Xiao Fan was this very segment of supreme bone!

But he didn't seize such a divine object for himself.

But... for me?

Instantly.

An unprecedented warmth, mixed with an indescribable feeling of gratitude and sweetness.

Violently shattered all of Su Yuxi's psychological defenses.

That cold, heartless young man from her past life who treated her like dirt.

In this life, he actually ventured into danger for her.

Even going so far as to offend the Child of Destiny and snatch a Heaven-Defying Opportunity.

Could it be that he really has changed in this life?

Or perhaps, in the past life, there was some hardship behind his breaking off the engagement with me?

At this moment, Su Yuxi's mind was a chaotic mess, countless thoughts flashing wildly.

But soon, she steadied her mind.

Su Yuxi, ah Su Yuxi!

What on earth are you thinking!

Who knows what tricks he's playing now!

Hmph! I can't trust him completely yet!

Finally, after a series of internal monologues, Su Yuxi slowly extended her jade-like hand.

She accepted the segment of supreme bone; it felt warm and smooth to the touch.

Then she raised her head, meeting Lin Yi's gaze which held a hint of a smile.

Her pretty face slightly flushed, and in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, she gently said.

"Thank you!"

[Ding!]

[Host detected gifting the bound target Su Yuxi, Imperial Rank Supreme Grade — supreme bone!]

[Destined Female Lead favorability significantly increased, triggering Thousandfold Return!]

[Congratulations, Host has obtained — Immortal Rank Supreme Grade, Hongmeng Immortal Bone!!]

[Hongmeng Immortal Bone: The number one Dao Bone throughout eternity! Not an Acquired bone, not an Innate bone.

It is the first Dao Bone condensed during the formation of the Dao at the beginning of the Universe's creation!]

[Characteristics: Source of All Laws, Affinity with Dao Principles, Leakless and Stainless, Indestructible and Immortal!]

[Fusion now?]

"Immortal Rank Supreme Grade!"

"The number one Dao Bone throughout eternity!"

Holy shit!

This round is an absolute jackpot!

Lin Yi's heart began to beat uncontrollably fast.

If this thing were taken out, forget these so-called Children of Destiny.

Even if ancient Great Emperors were resurrected, they'd drool with envy!

"Fuse later."

Lin Yi forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart.

The Secret Realm is about to open; now is not the time for Fusion.

...

On the high platform.

Holy Lord Zhou Qing looked down at the nearly boiling martial arena below, his expression majestic.

He had naturally witnessed everything that just happened.

But he did not intervene.

As long as the conflicts among the younger generation didn't cross the line, he wouldn't interfere.

Moreover, Lin Yi's performance had surprised even him, the Holy Lord.

Bold, resourceful, and possessing the strength to suppress all.

Only such a Prodigy was worthy of the position of Saint of his Heavenly Profound Holy Land.

Zhou Qing withdrew his thoughts, his majestic and vast voice resounding throughout the martial arena.

"The time has come!"

"The Holy Son Trial officially begins!"

As his words fell.

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed a finger towards the Void Realm at the center of the martial arena.

Hum!

A brilliant golden light erupted from his fingertip and vanished into the Void Realm.

The next moment.

The space of the entire martial arena violently twisted.

A hundred-zhang tall, ancient and mysterious bronze gate.

Amidst the interweaving of countless Dao Principle divine chains, slowly materialized.

Upon the gate were engraved the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and all living things.

Exuding an aura of desolation from ancient primordial times.

It was precisely the entrance to the Tianxuan Secret Realm.

"Enter!"

Following Zhou Qing's command.

The Disciples from the nine peaks, who had long been prepared on the martial arena, transformed into streams of light one after another, filing in.

Lin Yi's figure also followed the crowd, stepping into that bronze gate.

After a dizzying sensation.

The scene before Lin Yi's eyes suddenly opened up.

He found himself already within a vast, boundless primordial mountain range.

All around, ancient trees reached for the sky, each requiring several people to embrace, piercing the clouds.

The air was thick with rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, along with a faint, elusive bloody Evil Qi.

In the distance, earth-shaking roars of beasts occasionally sounded, making the mountain forest tremble.

"So this is the Tianxuan Secret Realm?"

Lin Yi surveyed his surroundings, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

Truly worthy of a Secret Realm passed down from ancient times; it was indeed extraordinary.

Just then, several figures appeared beside him.

They were several Core Disciples from the First Peak.

The moment they landed, they unanimously gathered around him, their expressions respectful.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

After the earlier turmoil, Lin Yi's status in their hearts was already supreme.

"Mm."

Lin Yi nodded faintly.

Then, he turned his gaze towards another figure not far away.

Su Yuxi!

At this moment, Su Yuxi had just steadied herself, her beautiful eyes surveying the surroundings.

Dressed in a light green robe with minimal makeup, she appeared even more pure and ethereal amidst the primordial mountain forest.

Feeling Lin Yi's gaze, Su Yuxi's delicate body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

She turned her head, her clear, cold phoenix eyes meeting Lin Yi's line of sight.

Eyes met.

Su Yuxi's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

She subconsciously averted her gaze, a faint blush rising on her pretty face.

"I will act alone!"

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice cool.

Yet her words carried a trace of unusual emotion that even she hadn't detected.

Lin Yi's recent behavior had completely disrupted all her plans from two lifetimes.

She needed time.

She needed to be alone, to sort out her chaotic thoughts.

She also needed to quickly gather points and Opportunities while relying on her memories from her past life.

"Alright!"

Lin Yi's reply was crisp and decisive.

He looked deeply at Su Yuxi, the corner of his mouth curving up.

"Be careful then."

"If you truly encounter danger you can't handle, just think of me."

Having said that, he paid Su Yuxi no more mind.

Turning, he led the Disciples of the First Peak and walked off in another direction.

"Think of you?"

Su Yuxi stood rooted to the spot, pondering Lin Yi's seemingly nonsensical words, feeling a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.

That guy!

How has he become so domineering, and so... frivolous!

She let out a light hum, suppressing the strange emotions in her heart.

Then she chose a direction and ventured deeper alone.

...

In the dense forest in the distance.

Two figures, like venomous snakes, stared fixedly at Su Yuxi's departing figure.

They were precisely Xiao Fan and Liu Ruyan.

"Hmph! That bitch is still putting on airs of purity as always!"

Liu Ruyan watched Su Yuxi's stunning figure, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

"Brother Xiao Fan, do you think she's laughing at us in her heart right now?"

"Hmph! Let her be!"

Xiao Fan slowly spoke, his expression gloomy to the extreme.

Remembering Lin Yi's earlier condescending, scornful demeanor.

And then thinking of the shy blush that had colored Su Yuxi's cheeks when she accepted the supreme bone.

The fury and killing intent in his heart couldn't stop burning wildly.

"Now, proceed according to plan!"

"Soon, I'll make that bitch and that bastard Lin Yi both kneel and beg for mercy before me!"
