Tang Yuehua was both shocked and utterly captivated by the person before her.
To shatter the void—what kind of power did that require? Even her grandfather, Tang Chen, likely couldn't accomplish such a feat.
And that graceful, elegant movement, like a banished immortal... Tang Yuehua found herself staring, completely mesmerized.
As if sensing her gaze, the figure suddenly turned his head.
He looked straight in her direction.
Their eyes met—and in that moment, Tang Yuehua finally saw his face clearly. Truly, like an immortal descended to the mortal realm.
A single glance felt like an eternity, as though time had both stopped and passed endlessly.
"Ah!"
When he looked away, Tang Yuehua froze for a second, then seemed to realize something.
With a startled cry, she quickly covered her chest and dashed back onto the bed, grabbing the blanket to hide her exposed body.
Only after some time did she peek out, her flushed face revealing only half her head as she glanced toward the opposite rooftop.
The figure was gone.
She finally let out a long sigh.
Tang Yuehua sat on her bed, lost in thought.
She didn't know why, but a faint sense of loss suddenly rose in her heart.

Meanwhile—
High in the sky, standing proudly amidst the clouds, Ye Yu looked down at the stunning beauty below, a faint smile on his lips.
"Tang Yuehua, huh? She really is a great beauty."
No wonder the original work described her as having a temperament that rivaled even Bibi Dong, the Pope.
It was said she was born with an innate domain. He was curious how her domain compared to the World-Devouring Domain.
If the two were even somewhat similar... that level of talent would be terrifying.

Half a month later —
In the depths of Sunset Forest.
Ye Yu stood in mid-air, sword-riding with A-Yin in his arms. Below them lay the Ice-Fire Spring, surrounded by towering mountains.
Mist billowed from the spring, cloaking the area in dense fog that stretched for over ten kilometers. It never dispersed, even year-round.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Yu's face—he had finally found the Ice-Fire Spring after two days of searching.
If it weren't for A-Yin's ability to control countless Blue Silver Grass to serve as scouts, finding this place would've been extremely difficult.
At this moment, A-Yin's long hair was tied in an elegant bun, styled like a noblewoman's. Her entire aura had undergone a dramatic transformation—
She had become more mature, more alluring.
The charm of a graceful woman combined with her voluptuous figure made her irresistibly captivating.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Now, she stood on her sword, her royal blue and gold-embroidered gown fluttering in the wind—like a divine consort descended to the mortal world.
After half a month of dual cultivation, along with Ye Yu's relentless guidance and development...
A-Yin had become fuller, more luscious—like a perfectly ripened peach.
One couldn't help but want a taste.
Her entire presence had also grown stronger—less delicate, more imposing.
Like a queen above all.
By now, she had mostly uncovered Ye Yu's true identity.
Her beloved wasn't from this world, nor from the God Realm—
He came from beyond the heavens.
Well, that was the closest way she could understand it. A place even more distant than the divine realm.
Ye Yu could only remain in this world for three months. After that, he'd have to return.
And he couldn't take her with him.
So for half a month, A-Yin had clung to him desperately, hoping to become pregnant with his child before he left.
Of course, that was only one of the main reasons.
Another was that dual cultivation with Ye Yu was simply too wonderful.
She couldn't bear to be apart from him.
The only problem—Ye Yu was too strong.
Even with her incredible recovery abilities, she often needed a day or two to rest between sessions.
Lastly, dual cultivation made her power grow at an astonishing rate.
In just half a month, she had advanced from a Level 60 Soul Emperor to an astonishing Level 80 Soul Douluo.
Four of her soul rings had already reached the 100,000-year mark, and the others weren't far behind.
Her worldview had been completely shattered.
Or rather—it had started to break the moment she began practicing the "Five Hearts Toward Heaven" technique that Ye Yu gave her.
Now, she was building an entirely new understanding of the world.
And the biggest improvement wasn't even her soul power—but her essence.
Her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had more than doubled in strength.
It was even showing signs of breaking through the limits of the Blue Silver Emperor lineage.
Her strength, speed, and defense had reached unbelievable levels.
Even without soul skills or soul rings, a casual strike from her carried tens of thousands of kilograms of force.
If she used Ye Yu's power techniques, that strength would multiply several times over.
She had even awakened spiritual power and could now ride her sword through the heavens like Ye Yu.
Though she was only Level 80 on the surface, her true battle power was unfathomable.
Even an ordinary Titled Douluo might not be her match.
Thinking this, A-Yin gazed at Ye Yu with eyes full of deep affection.
They had come here because Ye Yu said he had found an even faster way to boost their strength.
And she agreed to come because he wanted her to be strong enough to protect herself—and their future child—once he left.
"Let's go down," Ye Yu said, wrapping an arm around her slender waist.
With a single step, they descended next to the spring.
"Ah!"
The moment they arrived, A-Yin let out a startled cry upon seeing the countless immortal herbs scattered all around.
She widened her eyes in disbelief.
Eight-Petal Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot Delicate, Autumn Dew from Forgetfulness River, Fragrant Delicate Immortal Flower, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Heaven-reaching Mushroom…
As the queen of plant-based soul beasts, how could A-Yin not recognize these legendary herbs?
Each one rivaled her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
All of them were immortal-grade plants, the kings and queens among flora.
And yet, there were dozens gathered here—it was overwhelming.
What puzzled her was why these herbs hadn't developed intelligence or become soul beasts.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yu asked.
A-Yin shared her thoughts, and Ye Yu was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't thought of that before. But he quickly came up with an answer.
"They're likely being suppressed by a powerful soul force. That's why they haven't developed sentience," he said.
"Soul suppression?"
A-Yin frowned and focused on her senses.
In an instant, an overwhelming, tangible soul force filled the entire area around the Ice-Fire Spring.
No wonder Ye Yu said this place could help her cultivate rapidly.
And no wonder so many immortal herbs had grown here—this place was perfect for plant-type soul beasts.
