Chapter 117: The Miraculous Village, a Land of Peach Blossoms

“Xiao Yu… my husband, you knew all along!”

Chu Xi’s delicate body trembled, and crystal tears, like a breached dam, uncontrollably gushed from her celestial eyes.

However, this time, in the reflection of her tears, a faint smile played on her beautiful face, outlining a captivating curve.

Her originally hollow, lifeless, and dull eyes now seemed to be infused with a new vitality, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

Her dormant heart, moreover, pounded violently like a drum struck by a heavy hammer, thumping “thump, thump, thump.”

“Husband, I won’t act rashly. No matter how long it takes, I will keep waiting until the moment you come to find me! I… firmly believe in you!”

Chu Xi tightly clasped her hands together, placing them before her chest, and softly murmured.

Though her voice was soft, the deep affection and trust it contained were so unwavering.

She looked up, her gaze piercing through layers of starlight, seemingly seeing the man imbued with Immortal Path Power.

That is, the one in her heart—Lin Yu, who was breaking through the myriad restraints of the Eternal Continent with an unstoppable momentum, stepping onto the boundless path of the starry sky, step by step.

And the White Demon Race, as a renowned great clan in the starry sky, its prestige was widespread, and many were familiar with it.

Chu Xi firmly believed that with Lin Yu’s talent, he would certainly be able to successfully enter the starry sky and find her.

It was these simple two sentences, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, that instantly dispelled the gloom in her heart, rekindling the flame of hope within her.

She slowly stood up, tidied her slightly disheveled skirt, and then, with light yet firm steps, walked towards the temple door.

Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, she had been gone for nearly twenty years. Her father must be anxious by now!

Thinking of this, she quickened her steps, intending to find her father and let him know she was safe.

Besides that, the engagement with her first love also needed to be handled; she didn’t want Lin Yu to misunderstand anything.

......

“Hmm~~ Where is this… place?”

Lin Yu rubbed his slightly aching head and looked at his surroundings.

Chu Xi was indeed no longer by his side.

It was as he had expected.

However, the unfamiliar environment before him still left him somewhat bewildered.

Didn’t the Space-Time Dark River transport one to a place they had been to before, based on their karma?

But here…

He scoured all the memories in his mind but couldn’t find any scene that matched this place.

Before him, spiritual energy permeated, forming faint mists, like clouds drifting between heaven and earth.

Deep within the misty depths, he could vaguely discern a valley that seemed isolated from the world.

The valley was filled with blossoming flowers and lush green grass; clear streams gurgled past well-arranged houses, and smoke curled upwards from chimneys, resembling a serene pastoral painting.

He saw signs of human habitation.

There were sweating men toiling in the fields, women washing clothes by the stream, and children playing happily on the paths between the fields.

They all appeared to be ordinary people.

As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Lin Yu merely frowned slightly, then walked towards this seemingly idyllic village.

This place wasn't in his memories, but it definitely had a karmic connection, otherwise he wouldn’t have been transported here.

Therefore, he wanted to see what connection this seemingly mortal village had with him.

However.

The moment he stepped into the village, he froze instantly.

The village was still the same village.

The people were still the same people, but their actions were vastly different from what he had just seen.

The brawny man toiling in the fields, each time he swung his hoe, would cause the wind and clouds to change, and the beads of sweat that fell from his face would instantly make that small patch of land vibrant with life, with crops growing from green sprouts to maturity in just a few breaths.

And the farmer’s wife washing clothes by the stream, seemingly focused on the garments in her hands, inadvertently had threads of Heaven and Earth Power entwined around her fingertips. With a single thought, she could divert the stream, making it surge into the Nine Heavens.

There was also the young man playing with and guiding the children at the village entrance; amidst their laughter, the space around him subtly distorted, a sign of absolute control over space power, his cultivation so profound it could shake the stars.

These scenes left Lin Yu dumbfounded.

This was not an ordinary village in a mortal kingdom at all; it was clearly a gathering place for a group of monsters.

The brawny man could control vitality, the farmer’s wife possessed the great power of Heaven and Earth, and the young man was teaching children how to control space while playing with them.

What kind of abnormal individuals were these!

The most crucial thing was that what he saw inside and outside the village was not the same scene.

It was too bizarre.

And just as he was astonished, the villagers also stopped what they were doing.

They all seemed to have sensed Lin Yu’s presence at the same moment, turning their heads to look at him.

Their eyes were also filled with astonishment.

Swish, swish, swish~~

In an instant, the brawny man vanished from the fields and reappeared beside Lin Yu.

The others also appeared not far away, looking at Lin Yu with curious gazes.

Especially the young man, he looked at Lin Yu, then looked behind Lin Yu, his eyes filled with longing.

“Senior… that, this junior also came here by accident. If I have offended you, I will leave now!”

Looking at the brawny man in front of him, Lin Yu swallowed hard and spoke somewhat tentatively.

Everyone in this village seemed abnormal, a bit too strange!

Even with his Out of Body Realm early stage combat power, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Every single person here, even the children, made him feel apprehensive.

It was a bit too terrifying.

“Young friend, did you… come from outside?”

The brawny man did not answer him but instead asked a question, seemingly very interested in how he got in.

“Yes, yes, that’s right. I was just passing by and saw a village here, so I came in. Ahem, but it seems I was a bit presumptuous. I hope senior will forgive me!”

He didn’t know what the brawny man meant.

But it was always right to be respectful. Not attacking him immediately was a good sign.

“Passing by? Hehe, what a ‘passing by’!”

The brawny man suddenly laughed loudly upon hearing this, and his gaze towards Lin Yu became unfriendly. He narrowed his eyes and said again, “Just passing by and you can walk in here? You’re really not just ordinarily spouting nonse—”

“Mo Yun, step back. Our guest has arrived; how can you be so rude!”

The brawny man called Mo Yun still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted halfway by a vicissitudes of life voice.

Immediately after, an old man in plain clothes walked out from the crowd and slowly approached the two of them.

And the brawny man, seeing the newcomer, respectfully stepped aside.
