At dawn, Chen Li opened his eyes, and he kissed Lin Qingzhu’s forehead before entering Tianyi Realm. He then went to the bamboo house to check on Dongfang Hanxue’s condition, and he was satisfied, sensing the chill had begun to subside, which meant she would complete her awakening soon.
Chen Li then went to the subspace, and he was able to enter it without Xiao Kong’er’s help.
“Why have you come here, Young Dragon?”
“What else?” Chen Li looked up at Dongfang Hanyue, but he saw that the purple lightning surrounding her had become even stronger. “When will she complete her awakening?”
“I can’t say for sure, but I think she’ll wake up earlier than I previously estimated.”
“I see.” Chen Li nodded and turned to the white tiger. “Will you acknowledge her as your master?”
“She must prove if she is worthy of me first.”
“Heh.” Chen Li snorted after hearing that. “Don’t worry, Big Sis Yue will definitely succeed in subduing you, and you will become her strength.”
After Chen Li disappeared from before him, the White Tiger sighed to himself and looked up at Dongfang Hanyue. “Are you worthy to be my master? If you are truly worthy, I will gladly become your contract beast.”

Chen Li went to check on the mysterious egg, and he was surprised to see several cracks on its outer shell. He then rubbed it and wondered to himself. “What kind of beast are you really? You’ve been here for seven months, but you still haven’t hatched, so I hope that you’re not an ordinary beast.”
After that, Chen Li went straight to Xiao Hei, and she asked him. “What can I do for you, Master?”
“Sister Hei, can you destroy the barrier covering my planet?”
Xiao Hei raised her eyebrows in surprise but then shook her head. “I can’t break that barrier, but Big Sis Shijian should be able to break it, especially since she taught it to Emperor Long. Unfortunately, no one can enter her realm without permission, except you.”
“Even Sister Kong’er can’t enter the time realm, huh?” Chen Li was really surprised to hear that, especially since Xiao Kong’er was the spirit of void, so he thought he should be able to do it.
“No.” Xiao Hei then explained it to him. “The time realm is different from other realms, and it is almost as old as this universe, which is very special, so Kong’er can’t do it.”
Chen Li sighed heavily after he heard that, and he asked her again. “Then what about your other sisters? Sister Kong’er should be able to go to their realm, right?”
“Yes, Kong’er can go to their realms.” Xiao Hei turned to ask him. “Are you impatient to get the other elements?”
“Yes.” Chen Li answered her question truthfully. “Unfortunately, I can only wait for them to return, and I don’t know when they will return.”
“Be patient, Master.” Once again, Xiao Hei asked him. “Why are you suddenly discussing the barrier? Do you want those mortals to become cultivators once again?”
Chen Li replied to her with a nod. “I’ve heard stories about the war between cultivators that occurred in the past from Wan’er, but I think Emperor Long was being unfair by eliminating Qi from my planet. After all, other cultivators are also no different from humans on my planet, and they always fight each other in other realms, right?”
“You’re right about that, Master. Many wars also occurred in various realms; even some of those realms have disappeared now.” Xiao Hei let out a heavy sigh after she said that. “Honestly, I myself cannot understand the reason why Emperor Long used that formation to seal your planet and bring those cultivators to the higher realms, but you can ask him directly the next time you meet him.”
“Forget it then; I don’t know how to enter my memory fragment myself, so I can’t meet him for now.” After that, Chen Li went to see Xiao Jianyi, but she was training Xuanyuan Feng’er, so he decided to train alone to master the third move of the Sword Origin Realm.

While Chen Li was busy practicing in Tianyi Realm, it was already morning in the outside world, and the women had already been busy with their own affairs. Some of them left Qingshui Mansion, and some of them entered Tianyi Realm to practice and cultivate.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingzhu went along with Feng Xian’er to the bridal shop to try on her wedding dress, and the Di Sisters went with them.
Although Lin Qingzhu didn’t say anything to him, Feng Xian’er certainly knew everything, and she was excited to marry Chen Li according to their tradition soon.

At the airport, two young girls seemed to be waiting for someone, and one of them was pacing back and forth impatiently.
“Hey, Zhiyi! You haven’t been separated from Aunt Yuqing for so long, but you act like someone who has been separated for so long.” Tian Qiu said this as she shook her head.
Chen Zhiyi sighed and sat beside Tian Qiu, and she hugged her arm. “Even though I’m sad that my parents are divorcing, I’m also happy that my mother decided to separate from my father, especially since what he did to Aunt Qingzhu and the others was truly heinous.”
“I’m also sad to hear Aunt Yuqing’s decision.” Tian Qi responded by hugging Chen Zhiyi back. “After all, they have been married for more than twenty years, but their marriage had to be destroyed because of Uncle Hu’s lies and betrayal, and I myself am still shocked to know that he is that heartless.”
Chen Zhiyi then laid his head on Tian Qiu’s shoulder. “Do you think I still have a chance to be with Big Brother?”
“I don’t have an answer for you.” Although she answered with a relaxed smile, Yan Qiu actually felt sad because Chen Zhiyi kept thinking about Chen Li, and she never realized her feelings for her. “If you want to be with him, you may have to do something about your father, and he may accept you later.”
Chen Zhiyi looked at her and asked again. “What should I do about my father?”
“I don’t know.” Tian Qiu answered by shaking her head, but she suddenly saw Ximen Yuqing walking out from inside, and she immediately pulled Chen Zhiyi to her feet. “That’s your mother.”
“Mom!” Chen Zhiyi shouted as she ran towards her mother, and Tian Qiu followed behind her, but her mind was wandering to other things.
Ximen Yuqing smiled, looking at her only daughter, and she stretched out her arms to hug Chen Zhiyi. “From today, I will live in this country again, and we will live in our old house together.”
“En.” Chen Zhiyi nodded and helped her mother pull her suitcase. “Shall we go to see Aunt Qingzhu directly?”
“No.” Ximen Yuqing then told her. “We’ll go buy some prayer supplies first before going to Brother Zhen’s grave, and we’ll go see Sister Qingzhu after that.”
“All right.” Chen Zhiyi agreed with her mother. “I’ve been here for several days, but I haven’t visited Uncle Zhen’s grave, so we’ll go there together.”
After they entered the car, Ximen Yuqing asked Tian Qiu. “How are your parents?”
“They’re fine, Aunt Yuqing.” Tian Qiu replied as she smiled. “However, my father is very busy now, and he has to fix various things after everything Chen Li did before.”
“I didn’t expect that Li’er, who was once very gentle and compassionate, could become so ruthless now.” Ximen Yuqing said that with a heavy sigh. “I’ve read all the news about him; he has destroyed his enemies, and hundreds of people have also died at his hands.”
Tian Qiu didn’t say anything about it, and Chen Zhiyi then spoke to her mother. “Mom, Big Brother’s enemies are not all destroyed, and there is still one enemy left now.” .
“I know.” Ximen Yuqing nodded understandingly at her. “Since he already destroyed them, I’m sure that your father will be Li’er’s next target.”
“What should I do, Mom?” Chen Zhiyi’s expression turned sad again. “Even though he is my father, and he has committed too many crimes, I don’t want to see him die at Big Brother’s hands. However, if I beg him to forgive him, then he will distance himself from me even more, and I will lose him later.” .
“Do you really want to be with Li’er?” Ximen Yuqing, with a serious look, asked him.
“I do.” Chen Zhiyi nodded firmly. “I don’t want to be with other men, and I only want to be with Big Brother, so I’m really afraid of losing him.”
Even though Ximen Yuqing was already aware of her daughter’s feelings for Chen Li, Chen Zhiyi’s response really baffled her. On the one hand, she wants her daughter to be happy, but on the other hand, their relationship is taboo because of their blood ties.
However, Chen Zhiyi suddenly told Ximen Yuqing something that shocked her greatly. “Mom, I know you never agreed with my feelings towards Big Brother, but he is completely different from the old him. Even Big Sis Meiyi is his wife now, and Aunt Wei’er is also his future wife.”
“What did you just say?” Ximen Yuqing asked in a high voice, and her expression was completely shocked.
Tian Qiu gave an explanation to Ximen Yuqing. “Aunt, Zhiyi didn’t lie to you, and I heard their confession; Chen Meiyi and Aunt Wei’er openly admitted to us about their relationship with Chen Li.”
