Tantai Mingyue was merely the eldest daughter of a powerful family in the ancient martial arts world, and this was already the limit of what she knew.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. At the same time, he released her.

Cough cough!

Tantai Mingyue coughed violently and gave Lin Yu a resentful look.

I just felt that this man didn't know how to cherish women.

However, she also felt some sympathy for Lin Yu.

She knew a little about the other person's background.

The entire Yun family, from eighty-year-old elders to newborn infants, was massacred by a group of people.

This tragedy was quite shocking in an era when human life was treated like dirt.

As Yunlan's son, burdened with a blood feud, it's not hard to understand why he feels this way.

"Lin Yu, back then everything was about profit. There's no need to dig too deep into some things; it's better to look forward!"

She pursed her lips and said, "The four major families of ancient martial arts have never lacked intermarriage. Speaking of which, you also have a trace of Tang family blood. If you are willing, I can help you be introduced into the Tang family. From now on, put aside your hatred, focus on cultivation, and become a disciple of ancient martial arts!"

"Take my advice and stop digging into the matter. You're not the only powerful person in this world. There are even unimaginable beings who live as long as heaven and earth. Can you fight against the heavens?" she earnestly advised, biting her red lips.

"Shut up!"

Lin Yu looked over coldly, his eyes bloodshot. "When did my affairs become your business to interfere with! Since what happened back then has nothing to do with your Tantai family and Tang family, you should all step aside and mind your own business!"

"I came to the South this time for revenge!"

"I will investigate everything that happened back then! If gods stand in my way, I will kill them; if immortals stand in my way, I will slay them! I will not let any of the people involved in the tragedy go unpunished. Even if the heavens are blocking my way, I will tear a hole in them!"

"I swear I will not rest until I avenge this! Aaaaaah!"

Lin Yu let out an angry roar.

Boom! Boom!

Two scarlet lightning bolts suddenly flashed across Shanghai, which was already shrouded in gloom.

Suddenly, the rain poured down, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

A winter rain brings a chill.

It is foreseeable that this will be the coldest winter in Shanghai's history!

...

In the depths of the clouds and mist of the South China Sea, lies a sea area that appears and disappears indistinctly.

A lone boat moves slowly forward.

“Master, I have been suppressing the tenth realm of the Profound Heaven as you instructed. Now I have reached the peak of the tenth realm and have reached the point where I can no longer endure it. May I ask, Master, may I now enter the Saint realm?”

At the stern, a handsome man knelt and bowed towards the bow.

At the bow of the ship stood an old man in a black robe.

His hair was gray, his face was chiseled, and his eyes were sharp and deep, as if they held the stars and the sea.

At this moment, he was gazing at the northern sky, lost in thought.

"Master?"

"How long have you been following me in my cultivation?" the old man suddenly asked.

The handsome man paused for a moment, then said, "Since the destruction of the Yun family, I have come to the South China Sea and have been cultivating with my master for about twenty years!"

"Twenty years, that's a long time..." The old man couldn't help but sigh.

Time at sea seems to have no latitude or longitude, nor any sense of time and space; in the blink of an eye, long years have passed.

"Then do you know how long I've been adrift at sea like this?" the old man couldn't help but ask again.

The handsome man was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Since I was born, Master, you have been a legend in the martial arts world. In the legends, you are like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail, and you have not appeared in the city for a hundred years!"

"A hundred years? Heh!" The old man chuckled dismissively, his gaze piercing through the clouds to the starry sky.

"A hundred years is but a blink of an eye!"

"Look at those stars, that constellation that resembles Orion. It is the central axis of the Desire Realm, the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings. One rotation of it is equivalent to one year in the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings, or five hundred years in the human world. And I have already watched it rotate twice on this vast ocean!"

"What??"

The handsome man looked completely bewildered.

Two laps, wouldn't that be... a thousand years??

Oh my god!

It's incredible that a person could drift on the vast ocean for a thousand years!

The vast ocean of stars is beautiful, but it is too far removed from the mortal world. Occasional self-cultivation is fine, but for a thousand years, only a lone boat keeps me company...

What loneliness and solitude this is!

The old man smiled, his eyes gradually sharpening, and said, "Now, do you still think that twenty years is a long time? That twenty years of forbearance is agonizing?"

The handsome man pursed his lips.

Twenty years ago, he was already at the semi-saint level and could become a saint at any time.

For twenty years, the old man refused to allow him to become a saint. This feeling was like that of a starving person facing a table full of delicious food, but unable to eat it.

Temptation and torment tormented his heart at all times.

But now, hearing the old man's words, he suddenly felt that the torment of the past twenty years was nothing compared to the loneliness of a thousand years.

The handsome man pursed his lips and said, "Master, as one of the most powerful beings in the world, wielding the only divine artifact in the mortal realm, you could have roamed freely and been invincible. Why do you imprison yourself here? I don't understand. Cultivation is divided into worldly and otherworldly practices, and it's not just about seclusion. Why have you wandered alone on this sea for a thousand years?"

"You think I'm imprisoning myself?" The old man laughed, his expression somewhat self-deprecating.

The handsome man was stunned. "Isn't that right?"
