With Lu Li's explanation and Shu Chi's supplementary information, Xiao Tiandao and Liu Yu quickly understood the identities of Shu Chi and the other Soul Clan members present.

Upon learning that they all came from the ancient battlefield and were among those who had sacrificed themselves to protect the Yulin Continent, both Xiaotiandao and Liuyu bowed deeply to them.

Following that, just as Li Suo had instructed, all the Soul Clan members, except for Shu Chi, were placed under the care of Xiao Tiandao.

Upon discovering that some of these Soul Clan members had unstable souls, Little Heavenly Dao immediately sent them to a place for nurturing souls, intending to arrange for them one by one after their souls became more solidified.

As for the millet, it simply stated that it would not go anywhere and would stay by the millet's side, both to protect and to teach it.

After all, the millet was its bloodline descendant. With a lone little mouse out there, it would be impossible for it to be at ease without waiting for the treasure-hunting mouse clan to find it.

Seeing that it was determined, Xiao Tiandao agreed without much hesitation, and also gave Shushu a piece of soul wood so that Shuchi could have a place to settle down and nourish its soul, so that it would not lose its soul in the end.

Having arrived here, the Soul Clan had made all the necessary arrangements. Only then did Xiao Tiandao turn his gaze to the Yao Guang Cauldron, hoping to see if he could meet Li and ask him about the events that had occurred on the Yu Lin Continent over the years.

Unfortunately, the Yaoguang Cauldron has now fallen into a deep slumber, and despite their many attempts to awaken it, Li has been trapped inside by a twist of fate.

There was no other way. In order to awaken the Yao Guang Cauldron as soon as possible, after discussion, they finally decided to let Xiao Tiandao take the Yao Guang Cauldron back to the World Pillar for nurturing.

Following that, after Shushu gave Xiaotiandao both the jade pendant that Jiexin and Li had given her, the group prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Xiao Tiandao did not forget to repair the gap, and Liu Yu even set up layers of arrays around it to prevent outside creatures from sneaking in.

Once everything was settled, Lu Li and Shushu were once again led by Xiao Tiandao away from the center of the earth veins.

Unbeknownst to them, the instant they left the center of the ley line, a streak of light rushed over and crashed into the crack with a bang.

It turned out that Huaiyu, who was far away in the upper realm, sensed the flaw in the Yulin Continent the moment Li tore open the crack.

Thinking there was an opportunity, she hurriedly arranged for another subordinate to slip through the crack and into the Yulin Continent to continue stealing its fortune in place of Wen Jianxi.

However, by the time the subordinate rushed over, the gap had already been patched up.

When the subordinate was first thrown back, he was still full of resentment and refused to believe it, so he tried to crawl through the crack several more times. He even attacked the crack, trying to open a gap.

No matter how hard he tried and struggled for a long time, he still couldn't get in.

Seeing that the surrounding gales were increasing and he was about to be surrounded by them, he decided to back down and slunk back to the upper realm.

At the same time, as soon as Lu Li and Shushu left the center of the earth vein, the blessings they received for finding the boundary heart of the Rain Rain Continent and the remnant soul of the previous Heavenly Dao immediately descended upon them.

Not only did the man and the rat shimmer with golden light, but they were also enveloped in spiritual energy from head to toe.

Almost instantly, Shushu fell into a deep sleep; she needed to digest the food properly.

Even Lu Li looked like he was about to collapse from his eyelids, and his old wounds were healing little by little at an amazing speed.

Seeing that Lu Li was about to collapse and revert to his true form as a phoenix, Shu Chi and Liu Yu exchanged a glance, and then each of them grabbed one of the rats.

Led by Liu Yu and protected by Xiao Tiandao, they headed towards Liuyue Sect at the speed of light.

They used almost all their strength to escape before finally managing to deliver the phoenix and the treasure-hunting rat to their secluded cultivation room in the Flowing Moon Sect before Lu Li completely fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, each of them had their own secluded cultivation room. Lu Li activated the isolation array in his own cultivation room, while Shu Shu's was activated with the help of her ancestor.

Lu Li, after activating the isolation array, immediately transformed into his true form, a magnificent phoenix, and then fell into a deep sleep.

The treasure-hunting rat and the phoenix cultivated in their dreams in adjacent secluded chambers, very close yet undisturbed, each absorbing the spiritual energy flowing towards them.

Outside Lu Li's cave, a large treasure-hunting rat was diligently guarding the area, preventing any spirit beasts or people from disturbing it.

From that day on, whenever a beast of the Flowing Moon Sect passed by Lu Li's cave, it would always see the phantom of a treasure-hunting rat guarding the place.

Sometimes it's on the steps in front of the cave, sometimes on the stone table in the courtyard, and sometimes on the jade tree; it's never been seen to leave its side.

During this time, Firefly learned that it was the ancestor of the millet and potato, and even invited it to stay in other places, or to enter Lu Li's cave.

After all, Lu Li only opened the restrictions on the secluded cultivation room, not the restrictions on the cave dwelling, and he originally intended to let Shu Chi stay.

No matter what anyone said, the millet worm just wouldn't move, nor did it intend to move into Lu Li's cave. It just stayed in front of the cave and guarded it, not going anywhere else.

It even said that its previous environment was much worse than this, and it had long been used to sleeping under the open sky and on the ground. It only felt at ease staying here.

Since it had already said that, Liu Yu and Liu Ying knew that saying more was useless. They put a magical artifact house for it in Lu Li's courtyard and gave it a lot of pills that it could use, and then let it be.

Shu Chi didn't say much about it, casually tossing two items to Liu Yu in exchange for ancient weapons it had plucked from the ancient battlefield during its journey. Liu Yu accepted the gifts with peace of mind.

As for moving in, Shu Chi felt that it didn't want to confine itself again anytime soon.

After spending too much time on the ancient battlefield, surrounded by a gloomy, dark atmosphere devoid of any color, it didn't want to experience that oppressive feeling again.

It still prefers to look at the colorful and vibrant beauty outside.

However, in order not to disappoint Liu Yu and the others, Shu Chi would occasionally go in and rest with his eyes closed, but the time was very, very short.

Liu Yu and the others didn't say anything more about this, only sending people over periodically to deliver things that the millet chi could use, and then they stopped bothering him.

And so the days passed, one by one, and three years went by in the blink of an eye.

That day, Shu Chi was lazily lounging on the stone table in the courtyard, limbs outstretched, comfortably snoring and sunbathing.

Suddenly, he sensed movement coming from the direction of the secluded cultivation room. Instantly, Shu Chi's drowsiness vanished, and he eagerly sensed it again.

Then, it lazily lay back down. It wasn't its own baby; all its expectations were for nothing!

So when Lu Li came out, all he saw was the fluffy white mouse rear end, and he didn't even acknowledge it.
