119: In this mortal world, only one can survive a life exchanged for another.

"Have you recovered?"

Inside the Snow Clan Saintess's palace, only Yun Xi and Xue Wener remained.

The Restriction glowed, preventing anyone from probing... Yun Xi shook her head, "My life source is damaged. To recover is easier said than done..."

Xue Wener spoke blankly, "So, the method you mentioned was also a lie... right...?"

Yun Xi did not answer.

"I'm going to tell Qin Tian!" Xue Wener stood up to leave, but Yun Xi grabbed her.

"Sister Wen, promise me, don't tell him."

Yun Xi's eyes flashed with determination, "Otherwise, I'll end myself right here!"

Xue Wener's body trembled, tears silently streaming down her face.

"Xiao Xi..."

Yun Xi's expression was incredibly serious.

"If Qin Tian knows that every time he makes a Breakthrough, he is absorbing my life source..."

"He will collapse..."

Xue Wener trembled, "As long as you and I are still here, Qin Tian will be fine..."

"Wouldn't it be better to tell him the truth and then we leave this place together?"

Yun Xi gently shook her head.

"Qin Tian's talent is unprecedented."

"I believe he will definitely achieve the Dao of Longevity in the future."

"He bears the responsibility of saving the Ancient Immortals."

"I should not become his burden..."

"Besides, Sister Wen, if the Ancient Immortals are destroyed, where else can we go?"

This time, Xue Wener fell silent... Yes... if the Ancient Immortals are gone... where else could they go... Yun Xi smiled, "Sister Wen, I have no hope of making a Breakthrough in this life, let alone achieving the Dao of Longevity."

"In a Mortal World exchange of fates, only one of us can survive..."

"Trading my life for a Longevity Being, it seems like a very good deal."

"Moreover, he is Qin Tian..."

My beloved Qin Tian... "I am willing..."

"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry..."

Xue Wener's voice was full of sorrow, "We harmed you..."

Yun Xi shook her head, "These past years, having Qin Tian by my side, I've been very happy."

"Happier than ever before."

"I am content..."

"So, Sister Wen, you don't need to apologize..."

Xue Wener couldn't hold back, embracing Yun Xi, tears streaming down like rain, "Xiao Xi... I'm sorry... I'm truly sorry..."

"Sister Wen, there's one thing I want to ask you." Yun Xi slowly began.

"I want to enter the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan with Qin Tian."

"Okay." Xue Wener nodded seriously.

"After Qin Tian makes a Breakthrough to the Reflection Realm, I will leave..."

"I've already found a quiet place where no one will disturb me..."

"Don't tell Qin Tian, and don't come looking for me..."

"Let time slowly wash everything away... until there is no longer a Yun Xi in this world..."

Yun Xi's words were calm.

However, Xue Wener's hands trembled incessantly.

"Is there really... no other way...?"

Yun Xi pursed her lips, "Life and death are but common occurrences."

"If fate allows, through Reincarnation, I will return to your side..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Wener could no longer suppress herself, her mind on the verge of collapse, she tightly embraced Yun Xi... Her cries echoed throughout the entire Saintess's palace, long and unceasing... "Qin Tian, ahead is the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan, also where I will succeed as Saintess." Xue Yi pointed to the place ahead, where the glow filled the sky, and spoke with a smile.

"What's in the Ancestral Land?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

"Legacy."

"The Legacy left jointly by the Qin Family's ancestors and the Xue Clan's ancestors, as well as two mysterious supreme treasures."

"Supreme treasures?"

"Yes, according to legend, two Longevity Being from the Qin Family and the Xue Clan sleep together here."

"Those two supreme treasures are likely the immortal weapons they used."

Xue Yi took a step forward, closer to Qin Tian, "There's also a legend that whoever obtains those two treasures will have a fated connection, never to be separated throughout their lives and generations."

"Each time the Ancestral Land opens, in addition to the Xue Clan's successor Saintess, young disciples of the Qin Family also enter."

"One is for the Legacy, and the other is for those treasures."

"However, from ancient times until now, no one has been able to find them..."

Qin Tian nodded.

Could the opportunity to become stronger that Qin Longevity mentioned be those treasures?

"Speaking of which..."

"The Qin Family members don't seem to have arrived yet." Xue Yi was a little puzzled.

"Originally, this opportunity belonged to Qin Wunian, but now that he's dead, I don't know who the Qin Family will send over."

Qin Tian smiled.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be himself... "Qin Tian, after coming out of the Ancestral Land and making a Breakthrough to the Reflection Realm, I might have to marry a junior from the Qin Family..."

Xue Yi suddenly spoke.

Qin Tian was startled.

Marriage?

"You don't want to get married?"

Xue Yi shook her head, "This is a rule of the Xue Clan, and I will agree, no matter who the Qin Family junior is..."

Qin Tian smiled, "You seem very unwilling."

"Huh?" Xue Yi was startled, "Is it... that obvious?"

"It's written all over your face."

Xue Yi's small face blushed, "This is a Family mission, I must obey it..."

"You know, is there a possibility that the Qin Family junior also doesn't want to get married?"

Xue Yi was stunned.

She hadn't thought of that... What if both parties were unwilling?

Is there a chance... As she thought, she secretly glanced at Qin Tian, then quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Xue Yi, things are different now. The situation in Tianyuan has become extremely grim. The Qin Family and the Xue Clan probably won't have time to worry about the marriage of their younger generations."

"So you don't have to worry too much."

"And, I can guarantee you that the Qin Family member definitely doesn't want to get married either."

"Is what you're saying true?" Xue Yi's eyes brightened slightly.

Qin Tian smiled, "Of course it's true."

As a teammate, he had an obligation to help Xue Yi solve the distress of an arranged marriage!

Young people should bravely pursue love!

"Then... Qin Tian... do you want to get married?" Xue Yi's cheeks were slightly flushed.

"No."

Xue Yi paused.

"After the battle in Imperial City ends, I will return to Divine Firmament Peak with my Revered Master."

"Without any accidents, I probably won't come out again..."

"Marriage and such, naturally, I don't want."

Xue Yi's breathing hitched slightly.

"Then, can I come to Divine Firmament Peak to find you?"

Qin Tian laughed, "Why ask that?"

"Of course there's no problem."

Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then it's settled. When the great war ends one day, I'll go to Divine Firmament Peak to find you..."

"Welcome."

Qin Tian's lips curved upwards.

Dong—!

Just then, from deep within the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan, a resounding bell chime rang out.

Xue Yi's eyes flickered.

"Qin Tian, the Clan Elders are summoning us, let's go."

"Okay."

Qin Tian gazed towards the Ancestral Land.

Mysterious treasures... what could they be...?

Qin Tian felt some anticipation in his heart... Not long after, the two arrived before the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan.

Yun Xi and Xue Wener were already there.

However, Xue Wener's eyes seemed filled with gloom.

"Revered Master."

"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you so sad?"

Xue Wener pursed her lips, "It's nothing, just remembering some past events."

Yun Xi stepped forward and slowly spoke.

"Qin Tian, I, your Revered Master, will enter this Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan with you..."
