298: Chapter 298 Yun tide emerges from seclusion; a great battle is inevitable.

"Control time? It's not that impressive!"

Qin Tian smiled.

"It's just that your time-stop can't affect me, that's all."

The small golden insect's wings vibrated as it flew in front of Qin Tian, circling him several times.

A voice of astonishment sounded in his mind.

"How do you have the scent of home on you...?"

"Have you been there?"

Qin Tian was taken aback. "You weren't born here?"

"Of course not. I was born in the vast River of Time and fell here by accident... You haven't answered me yet. Have you been to my home?"

The voice in his head sounded somewhat urgent.

"If you mean the River of Time, I have indeed seen it..."

"That's great!"

The Time Insect seemed a bit excited.

"Quickly cripple your dao seed, and then let me be your dao seed!"

Qin Tian: ?

Before he could speak, the phantom of the seven emotions seed manifested, its green leaves curling up to deliver a massive slap to the Time Insect.

"Ouch!"

The Time Insect was slapped directly back to its nest.

It struggled to get up, its wings trembling as it flew erratically. It took a while before it returned to Qin Tian, saying fearfully,

"You... what kind of dao seed is this...?"

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile. "Still want me to cripple it?"

"No... no more..."

"Can... can you take me home...?"

There was a hint of longing in the Time Insect's voice.

Qin Tian thought for a moment.

"How about this? I have a sister with good talent who hasn't accommodated a dao seed yet. I think you're just right for her."

"You become her dao seed, and I'll find a chance to take you home."

The Time Insect hesitated.

"You're not lying to me, are you...?"

Qin Tian smiled. "Naturally not."

"Besides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I won't be coming back to this place."

"Who knows how long you'd have to wait to encounter another being who controls a Time Dao Fruit."

"Furthermore, you can see I'm not after anything from you. Setting you aside, I have many rare dao seeds I could give my sister."

"I just suddenly felt that you might be more suitable..."

The Time Insect flapped its wings, recalling that terrifying slap from just now.

"Then... then okay..."

"You can use the Time Dao Fruit to envelop me so I can leave... but you must take me home in the future!"

"Rest assured, perhaps my sister will be able to touch the River of Time on her own!"

The Time Insect said nothing.

There were many beings who could comprehend the Time Dao, but one who could touch the River of Time might not appear even in hundreds of thousands of years.

Had it not sensed the aura of the River of Time on Qin Tian, it would have run away long ago!

Little did it know that countless years later, when the Time Insect looked back on this day's experience, it would feel incredibly fortunate to have made the wisest choice...

...

Inside Rotten Sword Valley.

Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes.

The Time Insect had been accommodated by the Time Dao Fruit and was not leaking any aura.

However, the ancient dao patterns on the rock walls were slowly disappearing.

This was enough to prove that Qin Tian had found the most mysterious treasure in Rotten Sword Valley.

Wu Qianying, Li Yu, and Tong Gu looked at each other.

Despite their curiosity, as long as Qin Tian didn't mention it, they wouldn't speak up rashly.

However, Qin Tian didn't keep it to himself either.

"Phew, thank you, Seniors, for bringing me here."

"What was in this valley is a Time-type dao seed."

!!!

The three of them were shocked simultaneously!

Time-type!

No wonder this Rotten Sword Valley was so strange!

Li Yu sighed softly. "The Sword Burial Heavenly Pool all enter the Dao through the sword; we have no experience with Time-type dao seeds."

"There are some ancient records in the Sword Burial Pavilion. If you have time, you can go take a look."

"Having stayed in this Rotten Sword Valley for so many days, it's time to head back."

Qin Tian: ???

So many days?

Hadn't it only been a moment?

"How long has passed since I lost consciousness?"

Li Yu was a bit surprised. "Ten days."

Qin Tian was instantly stunned.

How did this damn time pass so quickly?

With ten days gone, wouldn't Yun Xi have already finished her seclusion?

"Seniors, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry back!"

...

By the side of the Sword Burial Heavenly Pool, atop a steep cliff, a white figure sat quietly, her posture graceful and captivating.

The originally stunning scenery of the Heavenly Pool paled in comparison to that flawless form.

At this moment, everything between heaven and earth became a mere backdrop; no one could look away from her.

Qin Tian approached slowly, his eyes fixed on her alone.

"Revered Master, I'm back."

On the cliff, Yun Xi turned around.

Her soft gaze and cold features intertwined, forming a unique temperament.

"Tian'er..."

With that call, Yun Xi's eyes trembled.

In the next breath.

Qin Tian and Yun Xi moved simultaneously, embracing each other tightly...

...

"So, you not only brought back the Qin Clan disciples but also found Sister Wen and Qin Yu and the others?"

Listening to Qin Tian's experiences, Yun Xi was somewhat surprised.

Qin Tian smiled. "Mother and Aunt really want to see you."

Yun Xi pursed her lips.

She was actually still a bit embarrassed.

After all, going from a best friend to a daughter-in-law and niece-in-law was something she hadn't fully adapted to yet.

Qin Tian gave a slight smile. "In two days, we'll go together."

Yun Xi paused. "Why wait two days?"

"Ahem, it's been a long time since I've sparred with Revered Master..."

Sparred?

Soon, Yun Xi realized what Qin Tian meant by 'sparring.'

Her beautiful face turned red.

"Go to the room... here isn't good..."

Qin Tian shook his head and blew softly into Yun Xi's ear.

"I think it's quite good..."

As his voice fell, Qin Tian's hands began to wander restlessly.

Yun Xi gave a soft moan. "No... you can't... we'll... we'll be seen..."

Though her mouth said 'no,' her body was very honest.

"Don't worry, I've set up a barrier."

Ripples of emotion stirred in Yun Xi's heart as she looked at Qin Tian with deep affection, and then she couldn't help but wrap herself around him.

Everything followed its natural course.

A reunion after a long separation was naturally a great battle until all resources were exhausted...!

On that pristine white snow, the colors of spring finally emerged.

Beside the Sword Burial Heavenly Pool, voices echoed.

Qin Tian and Yun Xi indulged themselves in everything.

On the other side.

Wu Qianying bit her lip.

She tried to probe with her Divine Thought, but it was blocked by the barrier.

"Hmph!"

Thump, thump, thump!

She stomped her feet hard, making the entire mountaintop shake three times.

She could guess what was happening inside the barrier with her eyes closed.

How hateful! She hadn't even had a taste yet, and someone had beaten her to it again!

Even Li Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud at this moment.

"It seems Little Wu has truly fallen this time."

Tong Gu grinned. "Others might not be worthy of Little Wu, but if it's Qin Tian, it's a different story..."

"I heard he also has some ambiguous relationship with the Jade Lake Saintess..."

"This little fellow really is lucky with women!"

"I feel like Little Wu's chances of success are slim!"

Zing!

Tong Gu felt Killing Intent.

"Little Wu, why are you glaring at me?"

"Everything is first come, first served. Is it my fault you only met him now?"

Wu Qianying's hair stood on end as she gave a cold snort.

"I'm quite free today; let's have a spar."

As she spoke, she reached out, tore off a massive mountain peak, and hurled it toward Tong Gu...
