Tears welled up in Hua Qingyue's eyes. Although she had lost most of her memories because she had been refined into a painting spirit, everything Yin Qing Xianjun said resonated with her.

Chen Tianwen hugged Hua Qingyue tenderly, and Yinqing Immortal Lord slowly spoke:

"Now that Qingyue has taken shape, given time, he will surely reach the position of a sage. Even if they are separated, it will only be temporary."

"Whether for your own safety or for Qingyue's sake, the best solution is to leave Qingyue here!"

Chen Tianwen didn't care about his own safety at all. He was already being targeted by Saint Desa, so why would he be afraid of Saint Desa's revenge?

He could hide his identity, and Saint Desa couldn't find him yet. But Hua Qingyue was different. If Chen Tianwen, out of selfishness, kept Hua Qingyue hidden in the spiritual space, he could avoid being seen by Saint Desa.

However, this would make Hua Qingyue like a caged bird, losing her freedom. Even if Hua Qingyue was willing, Chen Tianwen would not be willing to let her go.

Moreover, if she stays here, with her mother, the Immortal Lord of Yin and Yang, guiding her cultivation, Hua Qingyue will definitely make rapid progress.

Chen Tianwen hesitated for a moment. Reason told him that letting Hua Qingyue stay with her mother seemed to be the best choice.

However, Chen Tianwen still intended to respect Hua Qingyue's wishes, so he also turned his attention to Hua Qingyue.

After learning her true identity, Hua Qingyue understood that if she stayed by Chen Tianwen's side, Chen Tianwen would inevitably be implicated. With their current cultivation levels, they simply could not contend with an Immortal Emperor or a Saint!

Hua Qingyue also believed that Chen Tianwen would definitely choose to face it together with her. However, if she could reach the level of a saint, then with Chen Tianwen's talent, he would definitely have already reached the saint realm. At that time, not only would she not have to fear Saint Desa, but she could also avenge her parents!

Thinking of this, Hua Qingyue nodded and said:

"Tianwen, I also think Mother is right. I want to stay here to cultivate. Once I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will go out to find you!"

Yinqing Immortal Lord nodded with satisfaction and added:

"A brief separation is for a better reunion. Tianwen, I hope you can look at this matter rationally."

Since Hua Qingyue had already spoken, Chen Tianwen wouldn't say anything more. He pulled Hua Qingyue into his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and said:

"Don't work too hard on yourself, I'm here for you. Believe me, it won't be long before I can face the saints, and then no one can stop us from being together!"

Hua Qingyue nodded, and tears welled up in her eyes as she felt reluctant to part with Chen Tianwen.

...

Yinqing Immortal Lord sent Chen Tianwen out of the spatially displaced mountain peak, at which time Hua Qingyue had already begun her seclusion.

"Senior, if we make a move within this secret realm, won't it affect you and Qingyue?"

Chen Tianwen asked, because a battle with Mi Yunzong and the City Lord's Mansion was inevitable, and Chen Tianwen was afraid that it would affect Hua Qingyue's seclusion.

Yinqing Immortal Lord said:

"It's alright. Strictly speaking, the place where Qingyue and I live no longer belongs to this space! So even if the secret realm shatters, it won't affect us. However, there are quite a few powerful experts who entered the secret realm this time, so you should take good care of yourself!"

Chen Tianwen nodded. He had been in the secret realm for several days, and it was time for him to take action to weaken the strength of the Mi Yun Sect and the City Lord's Mansion.

Yinqing Immortal Lord pointed to the mountain peaks in front of him and said:

"There should be something at the Drunken Immortal Pool that can help you. Head there first; it seems someone is already approaching. You need to hurry, or someone else will get there first!"

After bidding farewell to Immortal Lord Yinqing, Chen Tianwen flew towards the Drunken Immortal Pool. Since Immortal Lord Yinqing said there were things useful to him there, he must be right!

But has someone already approached? It should be someone from the Mi Yun Sect or the City Lord's Mansion, because Chen Tianwen knew through the White Moon Merchant Guild's communication token that the White Moon Merchant Guild's people were not nearby.

"Boss, we've been searching around here for three days and haven't found a single hair. Where is the inheritance that the city lord mentioned?"

Ba Qing's tone was somewhat resentful as he complained to Cang Zhong.

The two were known as the right-hand men of City Lord Bu Qiang. After entering the secret realm, Bu Qiang naturally entrusted them with an important task: to find a legacy that could help them break through their current limitations.

Fortunately, the two were not far from the location after being teleported into the secret realm, so they chose to search together.

Although the City Lord's Mansion had agreed to cooperate with the Mi Yun Sect, Bu Qiang still felt that he would be most at ease if he got what he needed first, so he ordered Cang Zhong and Ba Qing to search with all their might.

"The city lord only told us to find a spatial attribute treasure. Even the city lord himself doesn't know what it is. Who knows if it's even in this secret realm?"

Ba Qing's constant complaints annoyed Cang Zhong, who was already in a bad mood these past few days, and now he had been wandering around the secret realm for three days without any results.

Some time ago, Cang Zhong's son was beaten up in Bu Huo City. Cang Zhong rushed to the scene, only to be told that the person who beat up his son was a diamond card VIP of the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce.

Cang Zhong naturally dared not provoke him, but Cang Zhong's wife felt sorry for her son and complained every day that Cang Zhong was incompetent and couldn't even protect his own son.

Although Cang Zhong was a Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, he was most afraid of his wife. His wife complained about him every day, which annoyed him greatly. Hearing that they were going to join forces to eliminate the White Moon Merchant Guild in this secret realm, Cang Zhong felt that his chance for revenge had come.

He made a promise to his wife at home that he would definitely kill several experts from the White Moon Merchant Guild to avenge his son!

However, before entering the secret realm, the city lord instructed him to do his best to find spatial attribute treasures. He couldn't disobey the city lord's orders, and he couldn't break his promise to his wife. This in itself made Cang Zhong very angry.

Now that Ba Qing was complaining again, Cang Zhong was furious, but he managed to suppress his anger and said:

"Brother, I think we'll find it faster to split up and search. I'll go check the mountain ahead, and you can go to the next one. If anything happens, we'll keep in touch by telepathy!"

Cang Zhong just wanted to get rid of Ba Qing as soon as possible. After saying that, he flew directly up the mountain.

Ba Qing stayed where he was, smacked his lips, and said:

"The boss has been quite aloof lately, he doesn't talk much anymore."

After muttering to himself, Ba Qing listened to Cang Zhong and flew towards the next mountain peak.

When Cangzhong reached the top of the mountain, he was stunned by the sight before him.

A huge lake appeared on the mountain peak; it was truly a heavenly lake!

Drunken Immortal Pool
