"Master, really, I've seen it." Lora Luo said, then told Aurora Qing everything that happened in the Demon-Beast Realm.
"You've seen it? Looks like I need to ask. Three-Attribute Heaven... I never thought I'd find one in my lifetime, truly rare." Aurora Qing exclaimed with delight.
"Master, there's something else." Lora said, a bit embarrassed.
"Oh? What is it?" Aurora Qing asked, curious at Lora's expression.
"I secretly brought him here, but I told him you know some ancient teleportation array locations. Don't let it slip later, or he'll know I tricked him and definitely be furious." Lora explained.
Aurora Qing paused, then laughed, "So that's it. I thought, if he's really Three-Attribute Heaven, how could he come so obediently? I even wondered if he liked you."
"Master, what are you saying?" Lora blushed. "I'm telling the truth. A few days ago, Shen Lang's master, Elder Joe Qiao, came to see me. He told me about you and Shen Lang. I think you two are quite suitable, so I temporarily agreed and was waiting for you to return so I could tell you." Aurora Qing laughed after realizing it wasn't what she thought.
Lora panicked when she heard this, "Master, I don't want it, I don't want that Senior Brother Shen. He's not right for me."
"Lora, in the sect, Shen Lang is an outstanding disciple. How can you say that?" Aurora Qing asked, her expression turning serious.
"Master, two people need feelings. Without feelings, you want me to be with Senior Brother, I don't think it's right. Anyway, I won't agree." Lora said.
"Oh? Is that how it is? Alright then, next time Elder Joe Qiao comes, I'll tell him to postpone this matter." Aurora Qing said, not wanting to make things difficult for Lora.
Lora nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Master."
"Alright, go out now. Don't let them wait too long." Aurora Qing said.
Lora nodded, and Aurora Qing took a box from a cabinet. Inside were some fruits—not ordinary ones. When Lora saw Aurora Qing preparing to serve these to Evan Yang and the others, she exclaimed, "What are these?"
"These are some Lifespan Fruits. For ordinary people, they increase lifespan; for cultivators, they boost cultivation—just a few hundred years, not much value." Aurora Qing explained.
Lora nodded. After all, with their cultivation, they've lived tens of thousands of years; a few hundred more is just a small part.
Meanwhile, Evan Yang and the other two chatted, asking about Chase Chu's situation in the Blue Robe Sect. Learning that Chase had been taken in by an eccentric, but treated well, Evan felt relieved and didn't ask further. After all, this was the Blue Robe Sect; how they disciplined was their business, as long as Chase could grow here.
When Aurora Qing and Lora came out, Aurora Qing carried a tray and smiled, "We don't have much to offer, please make do."
A strong spiritual energy emanated from the fruits. If this was 'nothing special,' Evan Yang wouldn't believe it, so he smiled, "Senior, you're too modest. These are no ordinary items."
"Just a few hundred years of cultivation, not much impact. Go ahead and eat." Aurora Qing said with a smile.
Evan Yang and Hannah Nangong were naturally polite, until Aurora Qing spoke again: "Don't be polite, go ahead and eat."
Lora Luo also said, "Just eat, you guys."
Evan Yang, Hannah Nangong, and Chase Chu nodded, each picking up a fruit and eating it. A strong energy surged into their bodies, making them feel warm and comfortable.
"I heard from Lora that you were looking for me?" Aurora Qing didn't bring up the Three-Attribute Heaven matter right away, so she asked with a smile.
"Yes, Senior, I wanted to ask if you know about the teleportation array to Blaze Mountain?" Evan Yang asked.
Aurora Qing paused, then asked, "Blaze Mountain? Why are you looking for that place?"
"I have some matters there," Evan Yang replied.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with that, but I know some people who definitely can." Aurora Qing said.
"Oh? Who?" Evan Yang was just trying his luck here; after all, the Blue Robe Sect was isolated, so it was normal not to know about other places' teleportation arrays.
"During the Territory War Contest, I know some family members will definitely show up. And one family is based in Blaze Mountain." Aurora Qing explained.
"Territory War Contest?" Evan Yang thought. There was still some time before this contest, so he felt a bit troubled. But a hundred years was better than wandering around aimlessly.
So he asked helplessly, "Do you know who it is?"
"The Yang Family," Aurora Qing replied.
Evan Yang was surprised. He recalled that back in Ethereal Sanctuary, the Palace Lord had talked with those family representatives about outside support—this outside support was the Yang Family.
"Could this Yang Family be the same one they mentioned?" Evan Yang muttered, worried it might not be the same family.
"What did you say?" Aurora Qing asked, curious since she didn't understand what Evan Yang was mumbling.
"Nothing, Senior. Thanks, I know what to do now." Evan Yang hadn't gotten exactly what he wanted, but at least he knew who would have the answer. Even if he had to wait nearly a hundred years, he could just go into seclusion and cultivate—it would pass in a blink.
"Besides this, I heard you and Lora went to the Demon-Beast Realm?" Aurora Qing asked with a smile.
"Yes, we did," Evan Yang replied.
"Thanks to your help. Otherwise, just that little girl alone in the Demon-Beast Realm would've never made it back." Aurora Qing said gratefully.
"Senior, you're too kind," Evan Yang said with a smile.
"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, it was her accidental activation of the Silver-Spirit Sword that caused the spatial disorder," Aurora Qing explained.
Lora Luo got anxious, "Master, how can you say that about me?" "I'm just stating the facts," Aurora Qing replied.
Lora was a bit frustrated, while Evan Yang grew curious, "Senior, what's the deal with that Silver-Spirit Sword? Why is it so strange?"
"You want to know why it needs Emperor-level strength to activate? And why it caused spatial disorder in the end, right?" Aurora Qing asked.
"Yes, Senior, could you explain?" Evan Yang asked curiously.
"Of course. The Silver-Spirit Sword is a powerful artifact. Especially in the hands of an Emperor, it can release a special space with binding abilities. But if the user's strength isn't enough, it will backlash. If you hadn't helped Lora, she would've been in real danger." Aurora Qing explained.
This line is irrelevant to the novel's plot (webnovel navigation prompt) and can be skipped.
Lora hadn't expected things to be so serious, and Evan Yang was stunned, "So that's why. No wonder we couldn't move, like we were fixed in place, and couldn't drop down either."
"Exactly. In the end, thanks to your interference, Lora was saved. But the space became unstable, and the Sword Spirit inside realized its master was in danger, so it used its last strength to teleport you both away," Aurora Qing explained.
After hearing Aurora Qing's explanation, Evan Yang finally understood what had happened and smiled, "So that's how it was."
"I heard you're a Three-Attribute Heaven?" Aurora Qing asked curiously.
"Three-Attribute Heaven?" Evan Yang didn't know why he was called that.
"Someone with three attributes is called a Three-Attribute Heaven," Aurora Qing explained again.
Evan Yang realized Lora must have told her master. When he glanced at Lora, she blushed awkwardly. But Evan didn't blame her, instead he smiled, "Senior, what's so special about this Three-Attribute Heaven?"
"There is something special, but this is something I can only tell you personally," Aurora Qing said.
"Oh? So mysterious?" Evan Yang asked, curious.
"Come with me," Aurora Qing said, standing up to Evan Yang. Hannah Nangong, Chase Chu, and Lora Luo stayed behind together.
Evan Yang stood up suspiciously and followed Aurora Qing inside. As soon as he entered, he felt like he'd stepped into another space—completely cut off from the outside, not a sound could get in.
"Come with me," Aurora Qing said to Evan Yang, who was looking around curiously.
Evan Yang nodded and followed Aurora Qing. After a while, they passed through the rear hall and arrived at an isolated space, separated from everything around. Inside was just a space, but there was light, some plants, and even a garden.
"Do you know what this place is?" Aurora Qing asked.
"A space created by you, Senior?" Evan Yang asked.
"Wrong," Aurora Qing replied.
"It's not? Then what is it?" Evan Yang asked suspiciously.
"This place has always existed, and it's been here for at least tens of millions of years," Aurora Qing answered.
"What? That long? Is it part of the Blue Robe Sect?" Evan Yang asked, still suspicious.
"No, this place is a secret of our branch. Only the managers of this lineage, and the next generation manager, are allowed in," Aurora Qing explained.
Evan Yang was surprised by this, "So, Senior, does that mean Lora is the next generation manager?"
"You're very smart. Yes, that's exactly what I mean," Aurora Qing said.
Evan Yang nodded, understanding a bit more, but asked, "So, the other members of the Blue Robe Sect don't know about this?"
"They don't know, because everyone who enters here makes a soul oath not to let anyone else know," Aurora Qing replied.
Evan Yang was stunned, "Senior, what about me?"
"You're an exception, because you're a Three-Attribute Heaven," Aurora Qing said.
"Three-Attribute Heaven? What exactly is it? Why am I allowed here?" Evan Yang asked, still puzzled.
"I know you're confused. Let me explain what Three-Attribute Heaven is," Aurora Qing said.
Evan Yang was naturally curious about Three-Attribute Heaven, so he listened carefully, afraid to miss anything.
"Long ago, a legend was left behind: if you can find a Three-Attribute Heaven, there's a way to enter the Gate of the Otherworld," Aurora Qing explained.
"Gate of the Otherworld? Senior, what is that exactly?" Evan Yang was confused. Could the Gate of the Otherworld be another world realm?
"The so-called Gate of the Otherworld is indeed another world realm, but it is very evil. It was created by a peak powerhouse who wanted to devour other realms to increase his strength," Aurora Qing explained.
The more Evan Yang listened, the more confused he became. World realms can devour world realms? What did that mean? So Evan Yang asked, "Senior, world realms can devour each other? How does that work? Can the realms of this world really devour one another?"
"That's right, realms really can devour realms. Do you know about Shard Bugs?" Aurora Qing asked.
Evan Yang certainly knew—he'd hunted Shard Bugs before in Ethereal Sanctuary.
