Chu Yang sighed inwardly, envisioning a scene: in the endless void, a lovesick woman, all alone and drifting, searching through one dimension after another, yet still unable to find the person she was looking for. Such a wordless desolation...
This is truly a feeling that could break anyone.
Who could comprehend the bitterness of decades of relentless searching?
Suddenly, Chu Yang recalled a poem from his previous life, composed by Snow Tear Cold, which circulated widely:
"I thought you were here, so I came...
But upon arriving in this world, you were not here...
Thus, I have undergone countless reincarnations, searching life after life...
In every life, I dare not forget,
Only because we once made a promise...
Even if you repeatedly stand me up,
Leaving me to drift through life and death...
The mundane world knows my heartache, but does not know my regret..."
As he pondered this, he couldn't help but softly recite it.
"The mundane world only knows my heartache, but does not know my regret," the white-clothed person murmured these two lines, then suddenly smiled faintly: "Actually, I do not feel heartache, but I have no regrets."
Chu Yang sighed, "Indeed, with love in the heart, one will not feel heartache."
The white-clothed person laughed again: "Not necessarily. You are too fixated on love between men and women, but my feelings for him are not that simple. I am so determined to find him only to... express my gratitude."
She said, lost in thought: "Even if I find him and say nothing, just seeing him from afar would be enough."
Chu Yang sincerely said, "I hope you find him soon!"
The white-clothed person said forlornly, "It’s difficult... This Nine Heavens Continent has trapped me."
"Trapped you?" Chu Yang was surprised. "You can tear apart the void as if it were nothing, how could the Nine Heavens Continent trap you?"
The white-clothed person sighed deeply: "I never expected... Over seventy thousand years ago, I arrived here, feeling there were traces of the Great Dao, so I tore apart the void and entered this Nine Heavens Continent."
"However, when I entered this Nine Heavens Continent, I found that the traces of the Great Dao had suddenly changed. They became contradictory and intertwined with life and death. Moreover, the high-altitude Dao realm of this continent is filled with destructive power, and this land had been destroyed before and then rebuilt. During the reconstruction, the heaven's secrets and heaven's way were disrupted... When I entered, I was torn apart by countless forces of the Great Dao and heaven's way. My own Dao realm power resisted them, ultimately leading to severe loss. When I finally got in, I found no trace of the person I was looking for, and to make matters worse… my Dao realm was affected, and I could not leave."
"Moreover, the Dao realm power in this continent, due to the chaotic heaven's way, has become elusive and cannot be directly captured from the void. It can only be acquired from people, and only those with profound martial arts can allow me to capture a trace of the Dao realm power when they enter the Dao realm!"
"A master might only have one or two battles in their lifetime where they enter the Dao realm. Even if I capture it, it is merely a drop in the bucket, and it has no impact on the overall situation."
"After collecting for thousands of years, I found it useless, and in despair, I secluded myself here." The white-clothed person looked at Chu Yang.
"And then you met me," Chu Yang smiled.
"Yes," the white-clothed person laughed. "You are my only hope to restore my Dao realm."
Chu Yang touched his nose and forced a smile.
He certainly did not think this was a good thing. A character as formidable as her wanting to collect his Dao realm power... If she intended to extract Dao realm power from him, then she would keep him here battling endlessly... What to do then?
Fight? He couldn't win. Run? He couldn't escape...
"You can enter the Dao realm at any time. As long as you have space to fight, you can endlessly create Dao realm power," the white-clothed person looked at him. "So I need your help."
