Zhou Qing gazed into the empty space, inevitably lost in thought.

"Life extension technique... Divine Ruins Celestial Palace Token..." he murmured to himself. "Could it be that Nannan is alive because of this life extension technique?"

"And the reason he saved Nannan was to repay a favor?"

Sikong Yan, though his actions were erratic, couldn't see through some things.

The battle at Canglan Mountain seemed to lead to the overall decline of the Eastern Domain, but in truth, it prematurely ended the mutual slaughter between the Five Sects.

Moreover, the Fifth Prince, the mastermind behind the Five Sects battle, was also personally ended by him.

The Golden Thunder Sect was likewise suppressed to nip potential threats in the bud.

"As for that icy expanse—"

There truly isn't such a place on this side of the Eastern Domain.

But such places should exist in abundance, and he seemed to remember that Master Lu and his three sisters hail from the Extreme North Land, filled with ice and snow.

"Anyway, since I'm already here, I might as well take the opportunity to see what kind of scenes lie within the other coffins?"

Zhou Qing felt a surge of curiosity.

Now that his strength had significantly increased, he could be deemed the first beneath Spirit Slash.

The puppet of the original ancestor in the Gravity Zone is no longer a threat, so opening other coffins should not be difficult.

"Senior—" Just as Zhou Qing was about to enter, a voice suddenly sounded.

He turned his head and finally noticed the Sixth Blue Sphere was online.

Since he last imparted Inscription Level Divine Techniques to her, he hadn't seen her online again.

He also wondered if Shen Yunzhou had returned already?

And what was the situation with the Yan family?

Hopefully, those two selfish individuals hadn't disclosed their whereabouts to their own family.

"It's been a while!" Zhou Qing greeted with a smile.

The Sixth Blue Sphere floated over, excitedly saying, "Thank you, Senior, for bestowing Divine Techniques. Their power is indeed extraordinary."

Zhou Qing's heart jolted: "You've mastered it?"

Shen Hanyi softly replied: "For now, I've only condensed a trace of Phoenix Dao Pattern, but its power is evident. Junior now believes that if three thousand Phoenix Dao Patterns can be condensed, it could truly rival Tao Trace Level Divine Techniques."

Zhou Qing: "..."

This talent... is a bit too overwhelming.

Even with the help of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, he had only condensed five strands so far.

How long has it been, and the other party has already achieved something?

"Comparing oneself to others, it could lead to despair..." Zhou Qing chuckled to himself, "Being born in a Fifth-level Cultivation Country truly makes a difference."

At this moment, he began to somewhat believe what his Second Uncle had said, that those geniuses from higher cultivation countries are Divinity Transformation, even Spirit Slash, while still in their mothers' womb.

Moreover, they possess innate bloodline imprints of Great Divine Techniques.

"Thank you, Senior!" Shen Hanyi expressed gratitude once more, but since they were both spheres of light now, she couldn't perform a proper salute.

Zhou Qing laughed heartily, the light sphere gently flickering: "Haven't I said before? Inscription Level Divine Techniques are ordinary to me. When you've comprehended these, I'll gift you a few Tao Trace Level ones as well."

Shen Hanyi's light sphere trembled slightly, revealing an uncontainable joy.

And she genuinely believed this.

He casually gifted her a lost Four-Color Array, had never visited her restricted area, yet was knowledgeable and understood various secrets.

The practice of 'Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone' in Jiyuan Temple was extremely challenging, yet he generously bestowed Inscription Level Divine Techniques, and she'd never seen such incredible posts...

In her heart, Number One could only be described as mysterious, powerful, and erudite.

After finishing his boast, Zhou Qing looked at her and subtly inquired, "Since you've condensed the first strand of Phoenix Dao Pattern, you've entered the threshold. For the rest, just take your time and don't rush."

Shen Hanyi respectfully replied: "Senior's teachings, I will remember. Recently, I plan to leave Tianyun and seek out two old friends. It's because junior's personal affairs might have implicated them..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's heart stirred. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

If his guess was correct, those "two old friends" must refer to him and Lu Yaoyao.

It seems Shen Yunzhou had returned safely and truthfully informed them of the events on the island.

"Could it be that uncle and nephew from the Yan family?" Zhou Qing asked with feigned hesitation.

This matter must be clarified; if the Yan family had indeed traced it back to them, the Taiqing Sect should plan ahead.

If nothing else works, they might have to consider moving their entire sect away first.
