"The master’s fiancé is becoming more and more concerned about this princess."
"Don't laugh!" Tan Yun said, "I’m seriously asking you."
"Oh..." Yu Yunxi put away her smile and said, "Um, I understand. If there really is something, I will definitely tell you."
"Are you hiding anything from me right now?"
"Are you hiding anything from me now?" Tan Yun couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not. I just had a nightmare and shed a few tears, and you’re overthinking it." Yu Yunxi mumbled.
"It seems I was being overly concerned." After silently reflecting, Tan Yun smiled and said, "Then I’ll take my leave."
"Okay, go ahead. I also need to enter seclusion." Yu Yunxi smiled sweetly.
"Eh?" Just as Tan Yun was about to turn around, he seemed to have discovered something. His sword-like brows furrowed, and his gaze fixed on the ground beside Yu Yunxi.
"What's wrong, Tan Yun?" Yu Yunxi asked, puzzled.
"Why is there a handprint here?" Tan Yun approached Yu Yunxi and crouched down.
"Wow! There really is a handprint." Shock appeared in Yu Yunxi’s beautiful eyes, "Tan Yun, didn’t you say this tower is a Supreme Dao Emperor Artifact? How could someone’s palm print be on it?"
Yu Yunxi wasn't pretending; she truly didn't know that this handprint was hers.
"This tower is indeed a Supreme Dao Emperor Artifact." After observing for a while, Tan Yun said, "From the handprint, it appears to belong to a woman. To leave a handprint here, one’s realm must at least be at the Dao Emperor Realm, or even at the Dao Saint Realm."
"It must undoubtedly be left by Zi Xi."
Tan Yun ultimately made this conclusion.
Yu Yunxi smiled lightly and said, "That’s right. This tower was given to you by Palace Master Fang, and among women, only she possesses such strong power to leave a mark inside the tower."
"Well, I’ll head into seclusion now." After chatting casually for a while, Yu Yunxi watched Tan Yun leave before the smile on her face disappeared.
"Let’s take it one step at a time. I just hope it’ll be later when he discovers my identity as a witch." Yu Yunxi sighed and then sat cross-legged, beginning her seclusion and cultivation.
Suddenly, she was shocked to find that her speed in absorbing the ancestral energy inside the tower was three times faster than before!
"Why is it like this?" Yu Yunxi was first puzzled, then speculated that it might be due to the loosening of the Demonic Seal in her mind.
"If one day the Demonic Seal disappears, I’m afraid I’ll become a witch. I hope that day comes a bit later; I want to accompany him more…"
Undoubtedly, Yu Yunxi had secretly liked Tan Yun for hundreds of thousands of years, and in her heart, the one she was most reluctant to part with was Tan Yun.
He was the first man who moved her heart!
……
After Tan Yun returned to the third-floor training room, he sat cross-legged, his eyes revealing endless killing intent. "Now I am at the second layer of the Dao King Realm. I’m not far from my revenge!"
"All my enemies, sooner or later, I will make you all disappear into the river of history, and you will accompany my people to the grave!"
After confirming his resolve, Tan Yun let out a deep breath, quickly reaching a state of tranquility, and began his seclusion cultivation.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, forty-eight thousand years had passed in the outside world. Sitting cross-legged, Tan Yun suddenly froze, a strong aura emanating from him, as he condensed the third Primordial Chaos Dao King embryo, advancing to the third layer of the Dao King Realm!
In the following years, Tan Yun spent another fifty-two thousand years condensing the fourth Primordial Chaos Dao King embryo, advancing to the fourth layer of the Dao King Realm…
After fifty-seven thousand years, he advanced to the fifth layer of the Dao King Realm…
After sixty-three thousand years, he advanced to the sixth layer of the Dao King Realm…
After seventy thousand years, he stepped into the seventh layer of the Dao King Realm…
