The purple light from all around swept towards Youyou like a net from heaven and earth. She was completely helpless; all she could do was hug the little flame tightly and close her eyes!
There's no hope, just wait to die!
Just as the purple light was about to slice her to pieces, she suddenly felt a chill in her hand as something flew out. A sharp clang rang in her ears, like something colliding.
The expected pain didn't come. She couldn't help but open her eyes, only to find that a golden spell had suddenly appeared around her. The spell formed a circle, encircling her completely, and was spinning wildly around her. Moreover, those spells, which she couldn't identify, looked strangely familiar.
She subconsciously glanced down at her wrist, and sure enough, it was the spell her father had cast on her wrist earlier. At that moment, the spell surrounded her, blocking the overwhelming purple light.
The purple light, which had been advancing steadily, suddenly stopped as if it had frozen, unable to move forward any further.
Youyou was stunned, and immediately felt like she had escaped a disaster. Awesome, Daddy Yuan!
She breathed a sigh of relief, but the magical circle around her spun faster and faster, growing larger and larger, pushing all the purple light back. The next moment, a clang was heard, and the terrifying purple light suddenly shattered, turning into specks of shimmering light along with the magical incantation.
The entire hall was instantly filled with golden and purple glow, and the cold temperature around it began to warm up. The previously vanished seven-colored light shone down again, and in no time, the dreamlike scene was restored.
Youyou took a deep breath, calming her wildly beating heart. Looking around, she noticed that the hall was somewhat different from before. The rays of sunlight streaming down from above were no longer falling to the ground, but instead converging towards the front of the hall.
She carefully took a few steps forward and then discovered that where the rosy light was gathering, something seemed to be floating in mid-air, and from a distance, it looked like a human figure.
Could he be a saint?!
She was overjoyed and quickly walked over. When she got closer, she found that there was only a huge crystal. The crystal was very smooth, transparent and as clean as a mirror. When it was illuminated by the glow of the sun, it was colorful and quite beautiful. However, she could vaguely see the shape of a person inside.
Youyou took a few steps closer, and just as she was about to take a closer look, she heard a cracking sound. The crystal suddenly shattered and fell down with a clatter, startling her.
Holy crap, how did it break?
She instinctively took several steps back, avoiding the shards of crystal. Remembering the deadly light just now, she wondered if there was some kind of trap in this crystal.
Prepared to run away at any moment, she looked up and saw a figure slowly emerging from the crystal. Upon seeing the person's appearance, Youyou was instantly stunned.
There stood a woman dressed in snow-white robes, her face exquisitely beautiful, her features radiant like the moon's glow and jade's brilliance. Her eyes held a touch of cold, heroic spirit, making her appear holy and unapproachable, yet strangely...familiar?!
The next moment, the woman slowly opened her eyes, like a deity surveying the world, her gaze pure yet inexplicably filled with pity. But soon, that gaze turned into boundless indifference, sweeping across the world until... she saw Youyou below.
In an instant, her clear eyes seemed to suddenly fill with the most intense emotions in the world, all pouring towards her. A smile bloomed on her lips like a flower, illuminating her entire being. She floated down directly towards her and stopped in front of her, her whole being brimming with barely suppressed joy, reaching out to touch her cheek.
"You...you're finally back." She was smiling, but her eyes, which seemed to be lit up like stars, were filled with a little mist, and crystal-clear water droplets rolled down her cheeks.
Youyou felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart and inexplicably wanted to hug her.
But the other person opened his arms first and gently nestled into her embrace, smiling as if he owned the whole world.
"You..." She was about to speak when a name instantly popped into her mind, "Xuanling".
The other person's laughter grew even softer, but their voice suddenly became ethereal, "Welcome...back."
“Xuanling, you…” Youyou was stunned. The next moment, the figure in front of her suddenly dispersed, disappearing like smoke, as if it had never appeared at all. Youyou was stunned for a moment, then looked around blankly, but saw nothing, not even the surrounding glow.
Only then did it belatedly dawn on me that the person just now was... an illusion?!
She lowered her head and opened her right palm, only to find something suddenly appearing in her hand—a transparent crystal that looked similar to a spirit stone. But inside, a golden sun symbol floated, and a faint energy flowed within it.
With a mere thought, the energy within the crystal eagerly burrowed into her palm. It was impossible to discern what kind of energy it was; it didn't resemble spiritual energy, celestial energy, or divine power, yet it seemed endless.
Youyou was stunned, somewhat confused. What had just happened? The phantom from before must have been the Saint Xuanling, right? Could it be that Xuanling had already perished, leaving only a phantom, and this crystal was also left behind by her? Would this thing be useful for sealing the Demon Realm?
And what about what she just said? What does it mean that she's back? Did they know each other before? Or was it just a specific image that anyone entering this temple would say?
Just then, the main hall door, which had been tightly closed, suddenly creaked open again.
You You was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out these questions. However, she was certain that regardless of whether the Sage Xuan Ling had perished or not, she was no longer in this temple. Just to be on the safe side, You You used her divine sense to search the entire temple. Sure enough, she found no trace of Xuan Ling. With a sigh, she had no choice but to turn around and leave the temple.
As soon as she stepped out of the palace, sure enough, the light wall outside opened an exit, and Yuhao was standing outside, waving frantically at her.
"How is it? How is it? You Tiannv, did you see the Sage?" Yu Hao asked immediately upon seeing her come out.
"I wouldn't call it seeing him, would I?" Youyou replied as she walked out of the light wall, thinking of the phantom.
"Huh?" Yuhao didn't understand.
Just as Youyou was about to answer, a rustling sound came from behind her, like something scattering. Turning around, she saw the entire temple suddenly shatter into countless shimmering lights, slowly disappearing…
In a short while, the temple completely dissipated, directly condensing into a golden ray of light that flew towards them and entered the crystal in Youyou's hand.
Youyou felt a chill in her palm as something crawled in, followed by a flood of information exploding in her mind.
This is……
"What happened to this temple?" Yu Hao was stunned. He glanced at the vanished temple, then looked at You You, who had suddenly frozen in place. "You Tiannv, are you alright? That light just now was..."
She then turned her head in a daze.
"Yuhao!"
"ah?"
"I think I suddenly know... how to open the realm of gods."
"..."
What?
