Contentment is good.

Just as she was thinking this,

Liu Yun suddenly felt an extremely powerful Divine Sense probing her.

That Divine Sense was like a vast, sky-covering net, pressing down with overwhelming force the moment it appeared.

In an instant, Liu Yun fully activated her ability to shield her aura.

Her beautiful eyes trembled in shock; such immense Divine Sense power could only come from a Venerable Realm existence!

"Is it that Six Lives Branch Family Head?!"

Liu Yun's heart jolted, and she immediately raised her Frost Sword.

She had traveled all this way, from the core of the Chaotic Land to such a remote area, and had been lying low for several days.

She believed her movements were concealed, especially with the Saint Physique's natural barrier against auras.

It should have been impossible for the Six Lives Branch Family Head to detect her.

But now, this familiar yet powerful Divine Sense clearly belonged to the Six Lives Branch Family Head!

Before her, the Divine Sense, which seemed tangible to Liu Yun, surged forth like a tsunami.

The moment that golden-yellow wave swept past,

Liu Yun immediately maximized her aura shielding, even unconsciously holding her breath.

Finally,

the surging Divine Sense receded.

It surged towards another direction.

After a long while, Liu Yun finally exhaled the stale Qi that had been building in her chest.

When she came back to herself, she was already drenched in sweat.

She looked up at the sky and finally realized something.

That Venerable Realm Six Lives Branch Family Head was using his Divine Sense to scan the entire Chaotic Land!

A bone-chilling cold instantly swept through Liu Yun's entire body.

Her eyes, which resembled frosted glass, now seemed to have entered the depths of a bitter winter.

"Covering with Divine Sense... does that mean they've already determined I'm in the Chaotic Land?"

Liu Yun spoke, muttering to herself.

It was precisely because of her experience as an Empress in her previous life that she truly understood.

Once a Venerable Realm Cultivator determined she was in the Chaotic Land,

then he would have countless ways to find her, even if she possessed the ability to conceal her aura.

Perhaps, once she broke through to the Returning to One Realm,

there might be a possibility of maneuvering, but she definitely couldn't do it now.

Thinking of this, the Frost Sword in her hand silently disintegrated.

No, that's not right.

She hadn't been discovered yet.

If they truly believed she was in the Chaotic Land, then those coming to find her

wouldn't just be this one Venerable Realm expert.

What she would face

would be the entire Shen Family surging forth!

Thinking of this, Liu Yun's fingers, which had already turned white from clenching, involuntarily relaxed a bit.

She must repair her Saint Physique and Breakthrough to the Returning to One Realm as soon as possible!

"Ouyang Xian, Sect Leader, deploy all forces of the Sect, and you must find the whereabouts of the little Medical Immortal you spoke of as soon as possible!"

"No more gradual planning!"

A cold voice was heard for the first time from within the small courtyard.

Previously, for caution,

the orders Liu Yun had given to the Yuyang Sect Sect Master, besides finding ways to repair her Physique,

also included countless other exploratory commands.

The purpose was to prevent others from seeing through her true objective.

But now, the Six Lives Branch Family Head was already stirring.

There was no more time to wait for the matter of repairing the Saint Physique!

"Yes!"

Outside the lake island, Ouyang Xian, Sect Leader, the Yuyang Sect Sect Master who had just left, immediately straightened his posture and bowed.

An invisible net, originating from a small Sect in a remote part of the Chaotic Land,

began to spread outwards.

...

Phoenix Feather Sect.

Inside the main hall of Liaoqiao Peak.

It was uncommonly filled with laughter and joy.

Two figures sat opposite each other under a small pavilion, with several small wine cups scattered around.

Each held a small wine cup; when their spirits were high, they would directly toss the cups aside.

Drinking from the wine cups, they smiled and chatted with each other.

One of the figures was naturally Zhong Qing, the current Sect Master of the Phoenix Feather Sect.

And sitting opposite him, the man whose face was already overcome by the wine, was Xiang Fei.

"Brother Zhong Qing, do you know, at this very moment, it feels like a grand dream to me."

"I originally thought we, two brothers in hardship, would travel from the arduous lands to the Central Continent."

"Who knew it would turn out like this!"

Xiang Fei was quite drunk at this time. After Zhong Qing took control of the Phoenix Feather Sect, Xiang Fei was assigned to be a Sect Master in the Flying Feather Sect.

Such a carefree life as a Sect Master was something Xiang Fei had never dared to imagine before.

Now that the two were gathered together again, Xiang Fei's heart was not without change.

However, after repeatedly observing his brother Zhong Qing, he saw that his attitude towards him remained consistent.

He even allowed him to address him as brother.

Only then did he completely relax.

He had never imagined that Brother Zhong Qing would be such a towering figure!

"No more talk! It's all in this wine!"

Xiang Fei raised his wine cup and drained it.

At this moment, he was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, wearing a hair-restraining crown and cloud-treading boots—gone was his previous impoverished appearance.

Zhong Qing looked at Xiang Fei before him and smiled sincerely.

At the same time, he also raised his wine cup and drank it all.

This journey to the Central Continent was undertaken with Xiang Fei.

Zhong Qing genuinely admired this simple and boisterous young man.

In their previous interactions, Zhong Qing had always felt his sincerity and kindness.

Even though he had now established a root in the Phoenix Feather Sect,

and everyone in the Sect treated him with kindness,

his initial friendship with Xiang Fei could not be compared.

"Heh! Brother Zhong Qing, to be honest, a while ago in that Flying Feather Sect, I found a main wife and took several concubines!"

Dazed with drink, Xiang Fei lowered his head and told Zhong Qing with a look of bliss.

Zhong Qing paused, then smiled indifferently.

He was stunned because, in this Cultivation world, although Xiang Fei's Sanyin Realm was not high,

he was at least a Sect Master.

Why did his brother Xiang Fei sound so petty when he spoke, with such small ambitions?

But upon closer thought, he remembered that Xiang Fei was born in that barbaric, desolate place.

For him, this beautiful and diverse life in the Central Continent now, even just finding a Dao Companion,

wasn't that heaven on earth?

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing couldn't help but smile again.

"Contentment brings happiness, that's good."

Hearing this, Xiang Fei raised his head and rubbed his nose, then chuckled again.

After another hearty gulp, he grinned at Zhong Qing.

"Brother Zhong Qing, you're so young and extraordinarily talented, and now you're the de facto Sect Master of the Phoenix Feather Sect."

"Why don't you find a woman and live a gentle life?"

"That feeling, tsk tsk tsk."

Xiang Fei looked intoxicated, but the wine cup Zhong Qing held in his hand involuntarily spun.

As for the matter of marrying a wife and taking concubines,

Zhong Qing wasn't entirely uninterested.

But this kind of thing could only be left to fate.

What he truly wanted was to reach the peak of this world.

Ultimately, to see if he could return to his former home with his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing's eyes seemed to conjure the scattered stars of Blue Star.

Before coming to the Central Continent,

in the endless Chaotic Demon Sea,

he had encountered that wondrous existence capable of creating environments.

At that time, his spirit had returned to Blue Star, even though it was all just an illusion.

But now, upon careful recollection, there was still a hint of longing.

He even felt a faint impulse to go back and try again.

For a moment, Zhong Qing's usually calm eyes flickered with a complex and profound expression.

Xiang Fei, sitting opposite him, saw Zhong Qing's expression and immediately clicked his tongue.

"Brother Zhong Qing, could it be that you already have someone in your heart?"

He said, his eyes lighting up.

"Could it be that noble and ethereal Miss Liu Yun?"

"I've heard that you, brother, seem to have a very unusual regard for that young lady!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing's heroic brows immediately furrowed.

He looked directly towards the two noisy fellows behind Liaoqiao Peak's cliff.

Those two little rascals must have been spreading rumors again!

"Let's just drink!"

Seeing Xiang Fei's hopeful gaze, Zhong Qing felt he couldn't explain himself clearly.

If he couldn't explain, then he would just drink!
