Inside the Lotus Sect.

Ye Yu’s dream had ended, but Su Yao’s dream was still ongoing.

【In the sea region.】

【Ye Yu’s corpse and the Sea-Controlling Trident were placed in a special ice coffin.】

【It was indeed miraculous; despite such intense battle, the Sea-Controlling Trident remained intact.】

【Since this item had been used by Ye Yu, Su Yao decided to place it together with him.】

【Looking at the familiar face in the ice coffin, Su Yao’s tears fell like rain.】

【Even though two days had passed, she still couldn’t accept this fact.】

【How could Ye Yu die?】

【Su Yao felt endless loneliness.】

【She even contemplated suicide, to leave this world with Ye Yu.】

【But holding his cold hand, she remembered Ye Yu’s last words.】

【Strive to ascend to the Heavenly Realm and remember everything there.】

【Did these words have some special meaning?】

【Su Yao pondered for a long time.】

【A thought, both incredible and hopeful, emerged in her mind.】

【Was it possible that Ye Yu might be reborn?】

【And that she could wait for him in the Heavenly Realm, with a chance to reunite.】

【Thinking of this, Su Yao regained her faith.】

【From then on, she began to cultivate diligently!】

【However, while cultivating, Su Yao also continued to search for the whereabouts of the East Sea flood dragons.】

【Find one and kill one.】

【Hundreds of years later.】

【When Su Yao reached the Ascension Realm, the number of dragons slain by her hand had reached nearly fifty.】

【Such a brilliant record made Su Yao famous.】

【The demon tribes in the sea region all knew. Near the East Sea islands, there was a female water nymph who specialized in killing dragons.】

【Someone once asked her, why was she so determined to exterminate the dragons?】

【Su Yao’s answer was simple.】

【A man who cared for me wholeheartedly died at the hands of a dragon. Since I couldn’t avenge him personally, I could only annihilate their entire clan.】

【All dragons in the world deserve to die!】

【This domineering declaration infuriated the flood dragon clan.】

【Your man died, but we didn’t kill him. What does that have to do with us?】

【It’s completely unreasonable.】

【However, despite their grievances, in the face of absolute power, all they could do was stay as far away from the East Sea region as possible.】

【In that era, the East Sea region became a forbidden zone for dragons!】

【Later, Su Yao also learned about the Sea-Controlling Trident. This thing had a secret.】

【But at that time, Su Yao was solely focused on advancing in the Ascension realm and paid no attention to it.】

【Another hundred years later.】

【Su Yao’s wish was fulfilled, and she ascended to the Heavenly Realm.】

【At first, she was very excited, fantasizing about meeting Ye Yu again in the Heavenly Realm.】

【But as time passed, reality defeated fantasy.】

【Su Yao sat in the Heavenly Realm for five thousand years.】

【She still did not see Ye Yu.】

【During this time, Su Yao’s peerless beauty attracted the admiration of many male immortals.】

【But whenever these immortals approached, Su Yao would angrily strike out!】

【In her eyes, what were these people? They weren’t even worthy of holding Ye Yu’s shoes!】

【Her heart was completely filled with one person, allowing no one else to get close.】

【She lived each day on memories.】

【Thinking about every detail with Ye Yu, laughing and crying.】

【Finally, Su Yao grew tired of such a life and chose to end it.】

【Without Ye Yu’s presence, what was the point of becoming an immortal?】

The dream shattered.

Su Yao slowly opened her eyes, looking at the familiar surroundings.

She felt an immense sense of astonishment.

What was going on?

Wasn’t she clearly in the Heavenly Realm?

How did she return to the Lotus Sect?

Su Yao tried hard to recall for a long time.

She slowly sat up.

Could it be that everything before was a dream?

But in the next moment, Su Yao’s fingers touched a cold object.

Turning her head, she saw a huge trident beside her.

This object was the Sea-Controlling Trident.

Su Yao’s face flushed red.

Her eyes fixed firmly on the trident.

No, this isn’t a dream!

If it were a dream, how could the Sea-Controlling Trident appear in this place?

In reality, Su Yao’s path was similar to that in the dream; she had been cultivating in the Lotus Sect.

However, without Ye Yu’s presence, Su Yao was very cautious; even though she had reached the Integration Realm, she had not yet returned to the sea to seek revenge.

She planned to wait until her cultivation was stable before going back.

Only then could she be absolutely certain of success.

So, the Sea-Controlling Trident could not possibly appear in the Lotus Sect!

But if the previous events were not a dream, how should this item be explained?

After pondering for a long time, Su Yao, holding the Sea-Controlling Trident, slowly walked out of the room.

She found her master, Geng Haisheng.

At this time, Master Geng was drinking on Lotus Mountain.

Upon hearing the call, he turned around.

Under the moonlight, Su Yao’s face was icy cold.

The enormous trident in her hand appeared quite exaggerated. And it radiated a chilling killing intent.

Such a scene frightened Master Geng so much that he almost lost his composure.

He even briefly wondered, had Su Yao been possessed by inner demons?

With a trembling voice, he asked, “You, what do you want to do?”

“Master, tell me honestly, did you ever adopt an infant named Ye Yu? He should be my junior brother!”

Su Yao’s voice was as cold as ice.

It made Master Geng shiver all over.

An infant, Ye Yu?

What in the world?

Master Geng repeatedly waved his hands, saying, “Su Yao, I swear by Heaven, I absolutely did not adopt any infant. Nor did I name anyone.”

“I only have you as my disciple!”

“Let’s talk this over; please put down that thing first, alright?”

As he spoke, Master Geng slowly approached, preparing to persuade Su Yao to put down the trident first.

For some unknown reason, seeing this object made Master Geng feel an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.

Su Yao did not speak.

Instead, she furrowed her brow tightly.

Why was it different?

Everything in the dream had felt so real.

Su Yao absolutely did not believe it was just a simple dream. The longing in the Heavenly Realm had tortured her for five thousand years.

For these five thousand years, she lived in torment every day.

That kind of pain was too deeply engraved, impossible to forget.

At this moment, Su Yao suddenly felt something and looked up.

In the sky, a stunning female cultivator was flying through the air.

If Ye Yu were here, he would definitely recognize her.

This person was Lan Lianyan, who had defected from the Flower Spirit Mountain.

This female cultivator, who had once developed feelings for Ye Yu while undercover in the dream, was also born in the East Sea Continent.

At this moment, she was also searching for Ye Yu’s whereabouts.

After sensing the gaze, Lan Lianyan looked down.

The two women’s eyes met.

Their expressions were different.

Su Yao slightly furrowed her brows.

She didn’t know why she felt such a strong dislike for this woman.

This dislike was inexplicable, just an intense feeling of aversion.

Lan Lianyan felt the same way.

Thus, she stopped above the Lotus Sect.
