637: Chapter 637 Chu Xi...found it!

The first time was in the Gu Breeding Ground, the second time was on the Eternal Continent. The difference between the two was that the latter had no sea, while the former had the Zhengdao Sea, the Zhengdao Sea that trapped the four old ancestors of the Lin family.

And this was the third time.

The exact same village layout, the exact same environment, even more 'real' than when he first saw it in the Zhengdao Sea—

The sea here was a normal sea, and the people were vibrant mortals, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power.

Once is coincidence, twice is chance, three times… this is absolutely some kind of inevitability!

There must be a great secret hidden within, perhaps even closely related to him!

"Husband, here…"

Ling Yun curiously surveyed her surroundings; this ordinary scene was quite new to her.

But she immediately noticed something was wrong and subconsciously tried to circulate her immortal power to sense her surroundings, only to discover with horror—

Her vast, sea-like Immortal Emperor cultivation within her body was now like a dried-up riverbed, completely empty!

Not a single trace of power could be mobilized!

"My cultivation! It's gone?!"

Ling Yun's face turned pale with fright, her voice tinged with terror.

Having lost her power in this unknown place, she felt an unprecedented vulnerability.

Almost simultaneously, Li Ti, who was beside her, also had a drastic change in expression.

She tried even more thoroughly than Ling Yun, attempting to draw out a trace of Dragon Yuan, and even communicate with the Heavenly Laws contained within herself, but the result made her heart sink even further.

Her Imperishable Realm power, capable of shaking stars and traversing chaos, was now completely sealed, no, it was more like its very existence had been completely 'erased' by some incomprehensible rule, dormant within her as if she had never possessed it!

"My power… it's also completely gone!"

Li Ti's voice carried an unprecedented shock and a hint of almost imperceptible panic.

She had traversed eons and experienced countless dangers, but had never encountered such a bizarre situation!

What kind of terrifying method could completely reduce an Imperishable Realm expert to a mortal in silence?

Even an Immortal Realm existence might not be able to do something so thorough and strange!

The two women's exclamations made Lin Yu's heart sink sharply.

Although no danger occurred immediately, the two women losing their cultivation made him more solemn than even fighting an Imperishable Realm expert.

Especially Ling Yun; her loss of cultivation meant that the Holy Spirit Race's teleportation ability could not be used, and they would not be able to teleport fearlessly at will.

And Li Ti—

An Imperishable Realm Ancestral Dragon instantly reduced to a mortal!

This completely exceeded his scope of understanding.

This was no longer a simple suppression or seal; it was more like… rewriting rules?

Defining this place as a "Spirit-Deprived Land"?

He immediately carefully examined himself internally.

Fortunately!

His Immortal Divine Soul, inner world, Boundless power, Myriad Transformation Heavenly Pivot… all his powers were still surging and operating, completely unaffected by the strange environment outside.

It was as if the strange rule that stripped cultivation was only ineffective against him.

This made him feel a little relieved; at least he still had the capital to deal with crises.

But at the same time, it made him even more vigilant—this place was extremely unusual.

"Don't panic, calm down."

Lin Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, and reached out to grasp the slightly cold hands of the two women, transmitting his warmth and composure, "My cultivation is still here. With me here, nothing will happen to you."

His voice was steady and powerful, carrying a reassuring strength.

Ling Yun and Li Ti felt the warmth of his palm and the firmness in his words, and their panicked emotions calmed down slightly, but they still clung to him, vigilantly surveying the simple but strangely unsettling house.

"Let's not act rashly for now, and don't go out and disturb the… mortals here."

Lin Yu whispered, his eyes sharp as an eagle, scanning every detail in the room—the rough wooden table, the clay water pot, the fishing nets piled in the corner… everything was as ordinary as could be.

But the more ordinary it was, the more abnormal it seemed in this place.

"I'll first use my divine sense to investigate this village and see if I can find any clues."

The two women nodded in unison, holding their breath.

Lin Yu closed his eyes, and his vast and incomparable Immortal Divine Sense, like mercury flowing over the ground, silently spread throughout the entire Mo Family Village, meticulously scanning every inch of land, every house, every person…

His divine sense swept over frolicking children, over fishermen mending nets, over women cooking, over old people basking in the sun at the village entrance…

Everything was so real—flesh and blood, breathing, heartbeats, speech—without any trace of illusion or energy construction; they were completely and utterly the most ordinary mortals.

The layout of the village was no different from what he had seen the previous two times.

His divine sense continued to expand to the outskirts of the village, exploring the vast sea, the fish schools, corals, and reefs at the bottom of the sea… also completely normal; it was just a vibrant, ordinary ocean.

It seemed that this was an isolated, truly mortal fishing village.

But Lin Yu's heart grew heavier.

Not finding a flaw was the biggest flaw itself!

How could a place that could instantly reduce an Imperishable Realm expert to a mortal be an ordinary mortal village?

His divine sense scanned repeatedly and more carefully, not missing any tiny detail.

Finally, when his divine sense swept over a village woman, he was instantly stunned!

That face… was very familiar!

Although her appearance had aged a lot, and she even had white hair, he would never forget that face.

"Chu Xi…"

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise, and a hint of… fear.

Because he saw Chu Xi working in the fields, with two little girls playing beside her, calling out 'Mama' in childish voices.

"I've found some clues."

He immediately spoke, "You two stay here. I'll set up a restriction; it's absolutely safe. I'm going out to take a look."

No matter what this place was or what had happened to Chu Xi here, he had to take her away.

Of course, if conditions allowed, he also wanted to figure out what exactly was going on.

"Husband, be careful!"

The two women spoke simultaneously, worriedly.

Lin Yu nodded, waved his hand to set up an invisible but incredibly sturdy restriction to envelop the small house, then took a deep breath, pushed open the creaking wooden door, and stepped into this sunny but strangely unsettling Mo Family Village.

He walked directly towards that plot of land.

The mortals in the village did not seem too surprised by his appearance as a stranger; they merely looked curiously for a moment, then continued with their work, as if his presence was nothing special.

Lin Yu observed the villagers' gazes; it was a sense of numbness, as if another person had entered.

He ignored these villagers and walked directly towards Chu Xi.

Close, very close now!

The two little girls stopped playing and looked up at Lin Yu with their small faces.

They were about three or four years old, almost identical, with delicate features like porcelain dolls, but at this moment, their small faces were smudged with a little mud and grass, adding a touch of innocent charm.
