In the outside world, the Cloud Domain had vanished entirely, leaving behind a chilling breeze that was released byyers of frost on the ground.


    Huoyun Yurou waved her hand gently, and several clusters of me immediately shot out, melting all the frosts in a split second.


    She looked at Yun Lintian and saw thetter slowly open his eyes. A bird-shaped fire-red me suddenly shed through Yun Lintian''s eyes, followed by a deafening bird cry reverberated throughout the entire Ancestral Land.


    Scree—


    The bird-shaped me that was floating above the altar abruptly transformed into a giant Vermilion Bird and flew out of the hall, going straight to the top of the volcano before pping its wing toward the sky and vanishing into the white mist.


    Rumble—


    The white mist began to swirl violently, and droplets of rain gradually flowed down bit by bit until it became a heavy rainstorm.


    In the next moment, the miraculous scene happened. All the nsmen discovered the red soil, and the cracking ground beneath their feet began to recover at a visible speed. Young and tender grasses, along with various vegetations, sprouted from the ground, painting the entire Ancestral Land with lush green.


    The volcano that was about to die down suddenly became vigorous and continued to release white smoke, making the white mist formation around the Ancestral Land reach the next level. The lower part of the volcano turned strangely green, full of forest, and three small rivers gradually formed before flowing down from the mountain to thend below.


    "Miracle! This is a miracle!"


    "Heaven pity us!"


    "Lord Vermilion Bird didn''t leave us!"


    The nsmen directly knelt on the ground and cried. They had been suppressed for countless years to the point they didn''t want to live further. However, this miraculous scene had reignited their hopes.


    Inside the hall, everyone looked at the scene outside in shock. They didn''t know how to describe their current feelings at the moment.


    Huoyun Yurou bowed at the altar and said loudly. "Thank you, Lord Vermilion Bird! Please rest in peace."


    Everyone came back to their sense and hurriedly bowed their head solemnly at the altar. They knew that this miracle was bought by Lord Vermilion Bird. They were extremely grateful and swore in their heart that they would follow Yun Lintian to the end of the world.


    Yun Lintian stared at the altar for a while and let out a sad sigh.


    "Congrattions, Big Brother Yun!" Linlin jumped onto his shoulder and rubbed her head affectionately on Yun Lintian''s cheeks. The worries she had earlier had long vanishedpletely. She was truly happy for Yun Lintian.


    Yun Lintian smiled and patted Linlin. "Thank you."


    "What did you see?" Hongyue''s voice suddenly resounded. During the process earlier, she could perceive a familiar aura, and she didn''t think it wasing from the Vermilion Bird''s Origin Blood. Coupled with Yun Lintian''s reaction earlier, she was certain Yun Lintian had met someone, and that person should be her acquaintance, thest Vermilion Bird God, Yan Siqi.


    "You''ve already known." Yun Lintian knew that it was impossible for Hongyue to not know this.


    Hongyue went silent for a moment. A trace of sadness appeared on her face as her mind gradually drifted to the distant memory.


    Yun Lintian didn''t say anything. He let Hongyue reminisce as much as she wanted.


    A whileter, Hongyue asked softly. "Is she beautiful?"


    Yun Lintian was taken aback and replied truthfully. "Yes, she''s one of the most beautiful women I have ever met since I came to this world."


    "That''s good…." Hongyue muttered.


    Yun Lintian didn''t understand why Hongyue asked this question, but he didn''t insist on this topic further. He asked. "Do you know the enemy that killed her?"


    A cold killing intent shed through Hongyue''s eyes, and it dissipated in the next second. She replied. "Of course. How could I not know him?"


    "Him? So it''s a man?" Yun Lintian nodded his head gently.


    "He''s just one of many enemies you will face in the future. That''s all I can say. You better hurry up and be stronger as soon as possible." Hongyue said in a deep voice.


    Yun Lintian''s brows involuntarily creased together upon hearing this… One of many? Just one was capable enough to kill Yan Siqi. What about all of them?


    Thinking of this, a sense of urgency rushed through Yun Lintian''s heart once again. He took a deep breath and turned to Huoyun Yurou. "Senior, is there a way for me to reach the Misty Forest as soon as possible?"


    "Misty Forest?" Huoyun Yurou frowned slightly. "Are you, perhaps, going to find the Tree of Life?"


    Yun Lintian nodded heavily. "Yes. It is my main purpose ofing here."


    "I know it''s useless to convince you to give up but to enter the Misty Forest, you need a token from the Sky Qilin n. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, you won''t be able to enter the forest." Huoyun Yurou exined.


    "Token?" Yun Lintian frowned. He had never heard about this before, and Guchang didn''t seem to know about it either.


    Seeing Yun Lintian''s confused expression, Huoyun Yurou exined. "Something happened to the Misty Forest a few years ago. It was said that the fog in the forest suddenly expanded out, and anyone who touched it would disappear instantly."


    "The Sky Qilin n spent huge efforts to crack down the fog''s characteristic and sessfully created the token that could protect the holder from the fog."


    "I see." Yun Lintian nodded. "Will this mean they know that there''s the Tree of Life in there?"


    Huoyun Yurou shook her head. "The Tree of Life is merely a legend, in my opinion. The Sky Qilin n might have some information that I didn''t know, but I don''t think they can confirm the existence of the Tree of Life. They are so guarding the Misty Forest because they are holding that ''what if'' possibility."


    "Heh, they have always regarded everything on this continent as theirs." The short-haired old woman chimed in.


    Yun Lintian touched his chin and fell into deep thought. It seemed to find the Tree of Life was a bit troublesome now.


    "I heard that there will be a Misty Forest exploring event right after the weddings between that boy from the Great Roc n and the girl from the Heavenly Fox n. They should give out the token at that time." Huoyun Yurou suddenly said.
