One more catty, one more attribute point

"Phew!"

Upon receiving this news from Su Heng, Ji Huaxi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was instantly put at ease.

"I didn't expect you to be so trustworthy; indeed, I wasn't wrong about you." Ji Huaxi stretched out her hand and familiarly patted Su Heng's arm.

First, she felt relieved, but then she felt a bit lost.

Ever since her father was injured,

she had been maintaining a high level of mental tension.

On one hand, she needed to search for medicines in the Eternal Heaven, and on the other, she had to guard against the collapse of the Mythical Battlefield.

At the same time, she had to deal with governmental affairs and face the constant tests from noble families and the Immortal Sect.

Even though Ji Huaxi's realm was extremely high and her physique non-human,

persisting for too long in such matters started to feel overwhelming.

Previously, Ji Huaxi was knocked down by Su Heng with a punch and had fainted for more than ten days.

At that time, Su Heng was curious why, even though he had held back during the fight and Ji Huaxi's condition didn't seem too bad, she did not wake up for such a long time.

Now it seemed, it must have been somewhat related to her previous exhaustion.

For Ji Huaxi,

her time in the Blood Realm, where she didn't need to think about anything and could concentrate on cultivating, though restricted in freedom, was a rare enjoyment.

Thinking about dealing with a mess of problems once she returned to the Empire,

Ji Huaxi felt a sense of melancholy instantly.

Su Heng did not expect the Princess to have such deep inner struggles.

Seeing Ji Huaxi looking distressed in front of him, Su Heng thought it was because of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill.

Ji Huaxi could indeed copy the content, but the true essence of Martial Arts left by Su Heng on those eight stone tablets was something that could never be replicated.

So after leaving the Blood Realm, even with the original texts and diagrams of Mystical Skill, the cultivation results would certainly not be as good as before.

Ultimately…

Once the cultivation level reached a certain height,

the understanding of cultivation transcended the scope of what words and diagrams could describe.

Up to now, Ji Huaxi was the first person to master the entry level of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, meaningfully speaking, it wouldn't be excessive for her to address Su Heng as Master.

In a world where personal power was paramount, the grace of imparting Dao held significant weight.

However, Su Heng did not care for such mundane matters and therefore never minded.

"When you have free time later and want to return to cultivate, the Blood Realm will still open its gates for you. After this return, I will instruct Li Hongxiu accordingly." Su Heng said casually.

Ji Huaxi was stunned at first but realized that Su Heng had misunderstood something.

However, this sudden care still warmed her heart.

Although she regained her freedom, the dangers and challenges she would face in the future were no less significant, and being able to continue understanding Mystical Skill to enhance her strength was highly valued by Ji Huaxi.

"Thank you!"

She clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed respectfully to Su Heng.

Su Heng nodded in acknowledgment, looked around, and then said, "Since the matters here have been settled, we shouldn't stay long and should leave now."

"Alright!"

...

...

...

The environment in Eternal Heaven was unpredictable.

Su Heng and Ji Huaxi had a smooth journey coming here, but encountered several chaotic flows and even some attacks by strange energy bodies during the return process.

Fortunately, Su Heng was strong enough to crush those giant whale-like energy bodies.

It was just a pity that,

the energy bodies dissolved quickly after being crushed.

Merging with the chaotic streams of eternal life, Su Heng was unable to gain any attribute points from them.

He felt somewhat regretful.

But it deepened his understanding of the eternal heavens.

In the Zhou Dynasty, demons are divided into four different types: spirits, fairies, ghosts, and monsters.

Such experience clearly cannot be applied to the eternal heavens, where the environment is more complex, and even some of the life forms were created by ancient races.

Because of this delay.

Su Heng took a few extra days on his return journey.

However, he still successfully returned to the Zhou Dynasty.

Next, Su Heng plans to return to the Blood Realm to further refine the Spirit Void Dao Wood and enhance his spiritual power.

After his spiritual power is refined to perfection, Su Heng will be able to try to carve out his own Dao Path, and if successful, his strength will inevitably rise to another level.

Now although Su Heng's strength is powerful, truly speaking, it is invincible.

But not necessarily so.

Just like the Toad Demon God he encountered in the eternal heavens, which was already qualified to pose some threat to him.

Even in the Zhou Dynasty, there are always some beings that Su Heng finds extremely mysterious.

Ji Huaxi also has no shortage of things to worry about.

She is most concerned about the Mythical Battlefield and the Wanyuan Plain.

Although Emperor Wu risked his life that day to resolve the crisis, many key positions on the Wanyuan Plain were destroyed in that great battle.

If destruction-level powers once again want to start a war.

Then from the eternal heavens to Central State, it would be a wide-open path, and the current Zhou Dynasty can no longer afford such turmoil.

She also can't stop worrying about her brother, the Third Prince Ji Xuance.

"Then, I bid you farewell." Ji Huaxi bowed to Su Heng and then turned into a stream of crimson light, quickly disappearing into the undulating mountains in the distance.

After bidding farewell to Ji Huaxi.

Su Heng did not linger and directly returned to the Blood Realm.

He had just stepped into the land of the Blood Realm and was amazed to find that the environment had undergone many changes.

When Su Heng left the Blood Realm, the city under the Taibola Volcano was still in its nascent stage, but now it had basically been completed. Clusters of neat grey-white houses, clean and bright streets, and characteristic martial arts arenas as well as huge sculptures. Outside, there were fields undulating with crops of dark red wheat growing.

"Have I been gone for a long time?" Su Heng was surprised, touching his chin.

As the will of the Blood Realm, Li Hongxiu sensed Su Heng's return in an instant, and like a ghost, silently appeared behind him.

"About three months, my lord," Li Hongxiu answered calmly.

"Really?" Su Heng frowned.

Calculating the time, although there was a little delay on the way back.

But all told, it definitely shouldn't have exceeded a month, and he was surprised that it was actually quite a bit off.

Thinking about it, it must be due to those few encounters with chaotic streams, causing time to become disordered. He recalled the story of "Woodcutter Lost in Time," in the original world it was just a tale passed down orally. But in the eternal heavens, it was very likely to happen. Thinking about this, even a chill swept through Su Heng's heart.

Fortunately, his strength was strong, coupled with Ji Huaxi's rich experience.

Realizing something was wrong, they quickly escaped from the chaos. Otherwise, being swept into the depths of the eternal heavens, even if they could eventually return, it might be hundreds or even thousands of years later. By then, in the vast world, he might not even find a single familiar face.

"Hmm..."

With this thought, Su Heng firmly decided in his heart, "Unless necessary, it's better to visit eternal heavens less often."

Three months was neither short nor long.

Su Heng asked, "Has anything happened during this time?"

"Yes, two things happened," Li Hongxiu, being a loyal subordinate, was clearly prepared and spoke without hesitation, "The first event occurred in Central State, a month after Emperor Wu's death, the Third Prince Ji Xuance ascended the throne, known as Emperor Zhou Yuan."

Su Heng nodded, "And the second event?"

Li Hongxiu's gaze deepened as she spoke, "As for the second event, boom—"

Her words were cut off by a sudden loud explosion. Su Heng turned towards the sound and saw the corner of a district explode abruptly, white shockwaves scattering as several fully armed Dragon Guards were flung into the air, slamming heavily to the ground. Amidst cheering, a figure in red shot out like lightning, carrying a piercing scream.

"That is the second event that happened," Li Hongxiu shrugged slightly in front of Su Heng, her face wearing a somewhat helpless expression.
