"Threads intertwine yet remain unknown."
"With pen in hand, I depict your face, my heart torn apart, unable to convey this longing."
"Searching and seeking, living in drunken dreams for yet another lifetime."
"With the pen in hand, painting your face, my heart aches, it’s hard to entrust this longing."
"Searching and seeking, drunkenly living through yet another life."
"In the past life’s vow, do you still remember..."
Signed: Wife Yuyan.
Looking at the handwriting left by the Lord of Eternity, Tan Yun felt waves of heartache surge within him. He murmured, "Yuyan... Yuyan, is your name Yuyan?"
With a gentle flick of his right arm, the painting on the wall suddenly detached from it, swirling from the void and transforming into a beam of light that was drawn into the Immortal Ring.
Tan Yun gazed at the bridal chamber, and his sorrowful eyes gradually grew resolute as he declared emphatically, "Yuyan, you stay safely in the Soul-Eating Abyss. Once I become stronger, I will go to the Primordial Chaos Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and take you away from there!"
After affirming his decision, Tan Yun turned and stepped out of the room, arriving at the grand hall on the first floor.
Tan Yun looked at everyone and said, "You all can enter the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens. I and Xiao Lu will go look for cultivation resources."
"Okay, be careful." Shen Subing stepped forward, gently adjusting Tan Yun's robes for him before flying into the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens with the others.
Then, Tan Yun and Jing Lu stepped out of the ancient hall. Just as Tan Yun turned back, the hall doors closed with a loud rumble.
Next, Tan Yun arrived at the center of the mansion and gazed at the Divine Monument of the Town Prefecture. He thought that if he activated the protective formation of the mansion, it would surely attract the attention of the celestial master Lingxia, so he decided to deactivate it instead.
After the two flew out of the Eternal Divine Mansion, Jing Lu said, "Brother, the Divine Essence of heaven and earth is quite rich in the northern Eternal Forest, which has led to the birth of many heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"Among them are the Human-Divine Fruit, the Earth Divine Snake, and the Celestial God Spring."
"However, because there are so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Eternal Forest, many celestial gods go treasure hunting there."
Tan Yun replied, "I understand your concerns, but even if there are risks, I need to go. Benefits and risks will always coexist."
"Mm." Jing Lu nodded and said, "Brother, let's set off. With my speed, we should reach the southern entrance of the Eternal Forest in about six months."
"Brother, you should also enter the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens. I’ll take you there."
"Alright." Tan Yun responded and summoned the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens to enter.
After Jing Lu stored the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens in her sleeve, she transformed into a golden beam of light and disappeared into the horizon, heading towards the Eternal Forest...
Time flew by, and six months later.
A beam of golden light shot down from the Sea of Clouds, transforming into Jing Lu at the southern entrance of the Eternal Forest.
"Brother, we’ve arrived at the Eternal Forest." Jing Lu smiled brightly.
Tan Yun appeared beside Jing Lu and smiled, "You’ve worked hard all the way."
"It wasn’t hard at all. It’s my honor to be able to help you." Jing Lu replied with a smile, taking out the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens and returning it to Tan Yun.
After Tan Yun stored the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens in his ear, he sent a message to the Heartless Supreme God, Ouyang Duantian, Guan Xuankong, Guan Xuanqi, Huangfu Guchong, Heavenly Elder, and Wei Quan to leave the Divine Tower and accompany him in searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The reason Tan Yun didn’t let the women come out was that each of them was exceptionally beautiful.
Sometimes, being too beautiful could attract unnecessary trouble.
