Shenyan Lake.

Qin Luo is admiring the scenery.

The scenery at the foot of the mountain is also watching him.

The little dumpling's eyes widened, and it couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss, what big eyes!"

Qin Luo gazed at the azure eyes at the foot of the mountain, and he could sense the presence of spiritual fluctuations.

"Let's take a closer look."

Qin Luo left the mountain peak and walked to the vicinity of Shenyan Lake. There were many broken spirit swords nearby, and the surrounding mountains and rivers showed signs of destruction. It appeared that cultivators had fought a great battle here.

The little dumpling stared intently at the lake.

Qin Luo stood before the lake and bowed, saying, "Qin Luo of Longhu Temple greets Senior."

At the cusp of dawn and dusk, a goddess dressed in a green dress appears on the lake, her long black hair dancing lightly in the wind. She has azure eyes, and is noble, elegant, and otherworldly.

"Jiang Yao from the Heavenly Court greets Daoist Qin."

Qin Luo had seen many deities and could distinguish their auras. Jiang Yao's aura was different from others. He asked respectfully, "Senior, are you a true god appointed by the Dao Ancestor?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yao nodded with a smile.

Qin Luo didn't see a temple around him, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior, why are your eyes here?"

Jiang Yao remained calm and said softly, "After the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, the extraterrestrial demons attacked. My physical body was destroyed in that battle, leaving only this eye."

Qin Luo had heard Chu Peiran mention this incident before. The Dao Ancestor had withstood a great calamity for the Heavenly Court, but the appearance of extraterrestrial demons caused chaos in the Three Realms, which was the main reason for the Heavenly Court's destruction.

"Senior, I can help you leave."

Qin Luo looked at Jiang Yao with a serious expression.

Jiang Yao smiled radiantly and shook her head. "Master Qin, thank you for your kindness. If I wish, I can reincarnate, be reborn through another's womb, or even possess another's body. Having experienced too much, I am tired of the outside world and only want to stay here and watch the sun, moon, and stars."

Qin Luo nodded, his expression serious, and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, senior?"

Jiang Yao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "Master Qin is truly a remarkable person. All the cultivators who come to Shenyan Lake desire marriage, fame, and good fortune, but no one has ever thought of helping me."

With respect in his eyes, Qin Luo smiled and said, "Senior, you have defended the Three Realms against the extraterrestrial demons. I am willing to do what I can for you."

"I appreciate Master Qin's kindness."

Jiang Yao smiled faintly, raised her hands to form a seal, and a dazzling light rose from the Divine Eye Lake. The little dumpling dared not be careless and hid behind Qin Luo.

In Shenyan Lake.

A piece of golden divine iron appeared.

Jiang Yao said softly, "Back then, I wanted to mend the sky, but it was just a drop in the ocean. I'll give this piece of divine iron left over from mending the sky to Master Qin. I hope it will be of use to you."

Qin Luo did not refuse Jiang Yao's kindness. He grasped the divine iron, bowed, and said, "Thank you, senior."

Jiang Yao nodded and smiled slightly.

Her eyes held admiration.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the dazzling starry sky is reflected in Shenyan Lake. A gentle breeze ripples across the lake's surface, and the starlight dances in its wake.

Qin Luo didn't know what gift to give Jiang Yao. He stood by the lake and thought for a while, then took out his bamboo flute and played it. He had walked a long way, and the flute music was not as passionate as before.

The gentle flute music echoed through the mountains and waters, like heavenly music. Jiang Yao felt relaxed and comfortable. She closed her eyes, opened her arms, and lay back in Shenyan Lake.

The little girl hummed a song, nestled on Qin Luo's shoulder, swaying her head, clearly enjoying herself.

Much later.

The world became quiet.

Qin Luo put away his bamboo flute. Not seeing Jiang Yao, he bowed to Shenyan Lake and then left.

He originally planned to rest near Shenyan Lake, but since the goddess lived there, it would be impolite to rest there. Qin Luo left with the little dumpling. They were not alone; Qingfeng and Mingyue accompanied them.

Qin Luo liked to walk in the mountains and forests during the day and on the roads at night. He followed the mountain road to a relatively large town with neat houses and long streets.

The town is called Zhuxi Town.

To the left of the town is a babbling brook, and to the right is a dense bamboo forest; only a few houses still have candles lit.

Knock knock knock!

The little dumpling, who was sleeping with its eyes half-closed, was startled awake.

Across the street, a burly watchman carrying a gong shouted, "The weather is dry, be careful with fire!"

After that shout, the candlelight in the room went out one by one. The little dumpling rubbed its eyes and said, "Ugh, so annoying. I just dreamt about eating candied hawthorns."

When Qin Luo encountered the burly night watchman, he smiled and bowed slightly.

If Qin Luo hadn't given him a signal, the burly watchman wouldn't have even noticed his presence.

The burly watchman, belatedly realizing what was happening, shuddered in fright. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was a young Taoist priest. Clutching his chest, he exclaimed, "Master Taoist, you scared me half to death!"

Qin Luo was a little embarrassed. He took out an exorcism talisman from his pocket and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I hope this exorcism talisman will be useful to you."

The burly night watchman took the exorcism talisman and carefully put it in his pocket as if it were a treasure. "Taoist priest, where are you going so late at night?"

"Of course, it's going to the gates of hell."

The little girl deliberately lowered her voice, widened her eyes, and made a fierce expression.

Clang!

Qin Luo tapped the little dumpling's forehead.

"it hurts!"

The little dumpling covered its head.

The burly watchman was so frightened that his legs went weak. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a little girl in red. "I thought the Taoist priest had a monkey on his shoulder," he said.

Qin Luo said with a smile, "We are preparing to go to Nantian Peak, but we don't know where Nantian Peak is yet."

The burly watchman said with a smile, "Go along this road, and near Caiyun Town there is a Caiyun Immortal who knows everything. You can go and ask him."
