Chen Jing rose to take his leave, leaving only the village elder in the room. He walked to the window, his gaze distant, as if trying to extend his infinite vision to the horizon, and murmured to himself:

"The organization has reappeared, but what have they discovered?" He turned and glanced at the unconscious young man lying behind him, remaining silent.

The next day at noon, the sun was blazing. It was the height of summer on the Guangyuan Continent, and the sun was scorching. However, it was also the time that cultivators loved the most, as cultivating at this time could be equivalent to several days of normal effort.

Li Sisui felt he was on the verge of despair, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, falling endlessly. Suddenly, a sliver of light appeared before him. He got closer and closer to the light, which grew larger and larger. Li Sisui flew closer and closer to the light, and suddenly everything opened up before him. Li Sisui felt he could control his body again. However, he was now lying flat on a stone slab, surrounded by an old man sitting cross-legged. The blazing sun was overhead, and he felt like he was about to be roasted. Something seemed wrong with his body. Although he felt the scorching sun overhead was unbearable, the intense heat was inexplicably absorbed into his body, and he even seemed to enjoy it.

Before she could figure out what was wrong with her body, Li Sisui felt that the most important thing right now was to know where she was, why her alarm hadn't gone off yet, and whether she was already late...

The old man, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly moved, exhaling a breath of stale air. The surrounding heat seemed to drop abruptly. Without turning around, the old man stood up and said:

"You're awake?"

Li Sisui heard a strange string of syllables that he couldn't understand. He assumed the old man in front of him was a foreign friend. Although Li Sisui didn't know where he was, he still politely replied in English:

"Hello, how did I get here? Where is this place?"
