When Ye Zhen left.

Ye Xihan seemed to have regained some strength.

Suddenly spoke up.

"You, as Guang’an Temple’s Buddha’s Son, insist on being a person of the moment, and despite holding the Great Wu Xiang Legacy, still strive to be the Great Tathagata. No wonder the people of Guang’an Temple are unwilling to rescue you."

Her tone carried a teasing hint, like banter between friends.

Strangely, there was clearly no one beside her.

Yet her expression was as if certain someone was there.

A sigh appeared on the Star-Gazing Platform.

It was Yan Zhen, though at this moment, he seemed somewhat illusory.

Unlike a person of the human world.

Ye Xihan saw him, surprise in her eyes, "A person of the moment, traveling through past and future, it seems you’ve succeeded."

Yan Zhen silently looked at Ye Xihan, then shook his head slightly after a long while.

"I didn’t succeed, and never will."

Ye Xihan also fell into silence. She didn’t know what kind of relationship she had with Yan Zhen, but Yan Zhen had stormed the Ye family for her, even using the not-yet-mature method of time traveling to slay Ye Hongtai’s past.

Others didn’t know, but she knew Ye Hongtai’s future path had been cut off.

If not for her desire to personally kill Ye Hongtai, he would already be a dead man.

The ability to slay a formidable enemy in the passage of time, a power even saints can’t unravel.

It is considered a genuine path.

"Speaking of which, since a few decades ago, you had already developed some of the time-traveling ability, why didn’t you leave Li Taizhou at that time?"

When Ye Xihan asked, her face carried a slightly teasing smile.

She didn’t know her feelings towards Yan Zhen.

She believed, Yan Zhen probably didn’t know either, after all, as a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, he seemed never to talk about disciple matters.

Yan Zhen was taken aback, the crystal-clear head seemed to become even more translucent.

He pondered for a long time, as if weighing his words.

"Actually, I had left long ago."

He knew many things, things even many holy lands in the world did not know.

Like the revival of a great demon in Hongze Central Domain, and the plot of the sea tribe in the Eastern Cang Sea...

He knew everything.

Because, on the timeline over the past hundreds of years, he was... Han Wangshan!

A person... trying to learn how to love.

Oddly, a young man appeared in his mind.

Unexpectedly, he could meet him again.

Hongze is vast, yet seems small.

He reflected on his life as Han Wangshan, thinking of the woman named Xiao Lian, unfortunately...

I’ll never get to see her one last time.

He wasn’t a man who played with feelings, otherwise, with his personality, as Han Wangshan, he couldn’t tolerate such humiliation.

He didn’t want to break a promise.

As Han Wangshan, only that young man from Li Taizhou could help him fulfill his last wish.

As Yan Zhen, he wouldn’t go see Xiao Lian.

Or rather, he couldn’t see Xiao Lian, as a person of the moment, he couldn’t be influenced by himself from another timeline.

...

Wan Chuan State is not considered a powerful island state, ranking not high among the tens of thousands of states in Hongze.

It happens to be located in the Eastern Domain of Hongze.

Thus, when passing by Wan Chuan State, Xu Guang had the ship dock.

He took out the remains of Han Wangshan from the jade gourd and headed toward Wan Chuan State.

Let the fallen leaves return to their roots.

Since passing by, there is no reason to delay matters.

On the way, everyone knew of Han Wangshan’s existence and of his great sacrifice in the end.

Though mysterious, he was worthy of respect from anyone.

Xu Guang walked quickly, with General Wei following beside him, as if unwilling to be apart for even a moment.

Han Wangshan, in Wan Chuan State, was unknown; Jin Buhuan asked many people.

But no one knew Han Wangshan’s name.

"Brother Xu, as you said, Han Wangshan was a Five Realm cultivator; such a person, in a place like Wan Chuan State where there aren’t many saints, shouldn’t be nameless. Are you sure he was here?"

Jin Buhuan looked puzzled.

Xu Guang shook his head slightly, knowing Han Wangshan’s homeland was Wan Chuan State, a fact told to him by the Dragon Elephant demon.

He believed the honest Dragon Elephant Demon wouldn’t lie.

Surprisingly enough.

On the ninth day, he still hadn’t found any clues about Han Wangshan but encountered an unexpected person.

Yan Ruge.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see!"

"Miss Yan? What brings you here?"

As far as he knew, Yan Ruge, aside from cultivating on Nine Saints Island, liked to be a pirate on the sea.

Against all odds, she fought her way out of the Misty Sea but didn’t leave.

Yan Ruge blinked, smiling.

"Fellow Daoist Han’s virtues are boundless. From Dragon Elephant Senior, I learned about this place and thought to pay my respects. I didn’t expect to meet you setting up his grave."

"But to my surprise, in Wan Chuan State, few know of Fellow Daoist Han. After asking around, I found out there’s another group inquiring about Han Wangshan, so I came looking."

Yan Ruge explained.

In the distance, Jin Buhuan and Bai Xiaozhu exchanged glances.

Who is this woman?

She seems...

Their gaze subtly swept over Jiang Zi Yun.

Jiang Zi Yun remained expressionless, as if indifferent.

Soon, everyone gathered.

Xu Guang finally noticed something unusual, the atmosphere between Jiang Zi Yun and Yan Ruge seemed strange.

Yan Ruge saw Jiang Zi Yun, so closely bonded with Xu Guang, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"This must be your faithful partner from Li Taizhou? Such deep affection, truly enviable."
