Chapter 106 - There Are Others Who Have Come?!

“Lord Demon Sovereign, after you and Madam both fell into the void and disappeared, we have been diligently searching for your whereabouts and have not had any further conflict with the Immortal Realm.”

Under the gazes of Lin Fan and Long Yue, Meizhi briefly recounted the events that occurred on the Immortal-Demon Continent after the two of them disappeared.

After the two of them fell into the void and vanished, both the Immortal and Demon races coincidentally chose a ceasefire.

He wasn't clear on what the Immortal Realm was up to, but his side had been focused on searching for Lord Demon Sovereign and had no time to deal with the Immortal Race. Thus, the Immortal-Demon Continent entered a long-lost period of peace.

Hearing that the Immortal and Demon races had not engaged in any further conflict, Long Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a great weight lifted from her heart.

Her biggest worry had been that the two races were still fighting in their absence. If that were the case, her relationship with the Demon Sovereign would become especially awkward.

Fortunately, the thing she had been worried about had not happened.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then continued to ask:

“Then how much time has passed since This One disappeared?”

Hearing this question, Long Yue couldn't help but look at him with a puzzled expression.

Why is the Demon Sovereign asking this question? Hasn't it only been three months since the two of us came to this world?

Meizhi also didn't understand the reason for the question, but he still answered truthfully:

“Since you disappeared, Lord Demon Sovereign, nearly a hundred years have passed.”

“A hundred years?!!”

Long Yue was abruptly shocked.

Ever since she fell into this world, she had practically counted every single day. She was absolutely certain that only three months had passed. How could it become a hundred years when Meizhi said it!

“Are you sure? A hundred years have really passed, and not just three months?”

“Madam, I am certain that a hundred years have passed. This subordinate is absolutely sure!”

Meizhi nodded affirmatively, feeling very puzzled in his heart.

Although cultivators often don't pay close attention to time—a single meditation session could be several months, a single seclusion could be years or even decades—the difference between three months and a hundred years should be very obvious.

“A hundred years…”

Receiving Meizhi's firm reply, Long Yue repeated the words in disbelief and turned to look at Lin Fan with confusion.

Lin Fan's expression was calm and composed; he didn't seem very surprised.

As far back as when he returned to Blue Star and discovered he had only been missing for a year, he had already guessed that the flow of time between Blue Star and the Immortal-Demon Continent was different.

Asking Meizhi about the time he was missing was just to further verify his hypothesis.

And the facts proved that his speculation was correct.

One day on Blue Star was equivalent to one year on the Immortal-Demon Continent. Three months was just about equivalent to nearly a hundred years!

“Yue'er, one day here is probably equivalent to one year on the Immortal-Demon Continent.”

“One day is equal to one year…”

Long Yue was in disbelief, and even Meizhi was shocked.

Doesn't that mean that on his very first day here, an entire year had already passed on the Immortal-Demon Continent!

“Meizhi, how did you find this place?” Lin Fan continued to ask.

Long Yue also impatiently looked back at Meizhi, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Since Meizhi was able to find this place, it must mean he found a connection point in the void between the Immortal-Demon Continent and this world. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to get here.

Doesn't that mean that they might be able to return to the Immortal-Demon Continent soon!?

“Lord Demon Sovereign, during these hundred years, we gathered all the experts in the secret arts of space within the Demon Realm and tried every possible method. In the end, it was by using the Heaven-Surveying Instrument and the Realm-Opening Chart that we successfully found your location.”

“The Heaven-Surveying Instrument and the Realm-Opening Chart?!”

Hearing of these two magical treasures, Long Yue was shocked.

In the even more distant Ancient Era, Immortal Emperor-level experts of both the Immortal and Demon races were everywhere, and among them were many masters proficient in refining magical treasures.

The magical treasures they refined had the power to destroy heaven and earth, or to reawaken the life force in all things. All sorts of rare and supreme treasures emerged endlessly, far beyond what the magical treasures of the present-day Immortal-Demon Continent could compare to.

However, after a long period of conflict, those ancient venerables all perished one by one, and most of the magical treasures they refined were either damaged or lost.

Even the ancient refining arts were lost to the world along with their passing. Every surviving ancient magical treasure is an incredibly rare and priceless artifact!

“So they used the Heaven-Surveying Instrument and the Realm-Opening Chart.”

Lin Fan now understood how Meizhi had gotten here.

The Heaven-Surveying Instrument was known for its ability to locate the small voids that connect the myriad realms. With just a wisp of a divine soul, it could pinpoint the worldly location of all remnants of that person's soul!

He had left a trace of his divine soul on his throne in the Demon Realm. Meizhi and the others must have used that wisp of soul to pinpoint his location.

And the Realm-Opening Chart, as its name implies, is a supreme treasure that can open the void and create a new realm!

It's just that people had always thought the Realm-Opening Chart could only randomly open a new small world within the chaotic void. They never expected it could directly open a path to another world…!

With the Heaven-Surveying Instrument to locate him and the Realm-Opening Chart to open a connecting void, finding this world was naturally not a difficult task.

To activate both the Heaven-Surveying Instrument and the Realm-Opening Chart at the same time must have required an immeasurable amount of spiritual energy. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to gather all the experts in the secret arts of space.

So then, the question is, in this world, they don't have the Heaven-Surveying Instrument, nor do they have the Realm-Opening Chart, and they don't even have much of their own spiritual energy left. How are they supposed to get back?

“Meizhi…”

“This subordinate is here.”

“This One asks you, after you found This One, how did you plan to get back?”

“Of course, by… hmm…?”

Meizhi was about to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat.

That's right! How are we supposed to get back?

When they were coming, all they thought about was finding Lord Demon Sovereign as quickly as possible. They never even considered how they would return…

“Don't tell me you only thought about how to find This One, but never thought about how to get back?”

Seeing Meizhi at a loss for words, Lin Fan suddenly had a bad feeling.

This guy... he didn't really only think about how to get here, without thinking about how to get back, did he...

“My apologies, Lord Demon Sovereign, it was this subordinate's oversight!”

Meizhi rose from his seat, walked before Lin Fan, and knelt with his head bowed to apologize for his mistake.

“Sigh, forget it…”

Lin Fan and Long Yue sighed in disappointment.

The hope that had seemed so close was shattered once again…

However, after their previous experiences, and because they had already been planning to live in this world anyway, they didn't feel as disappointed as they had before.

“Lord Demon Sovereign, if you and Madam join forces, can you not break through the void to return?”

Meizhi raised his head and asked with confusion.

Lin Fan and Long Yue both rolled their eyes at him in unison.

“If you think This One and Yue'er could do that, would we still be sitting here?”

“…Oh, right!”

Meizhi had a flash of realization.

If Lord Demon Sovereign and Madam could join forces to break through the void and return, then there would have been no need for us to take the risk of opening the void to come to this world...

“Then, with your power, Lord Demon Sovereign, and Madam's, plus this subordinate and the others, could we break through the void?”

“The others? There are others who came too?!”

Lin Fan was shocked.

Besides Meizhi, other people had actually come along as well?!
