After this matter was finalized, Wu Zhong also briefly learned about Ye Qingran and Bai Yuechan.

He also promised that if there were any issues in the future and they couldn’t find their master, they could come directly to him, their senior uncle.

Although the Heaven Shepherd Alliance had the Six Great Daoist Sects, they are truly from the same family. Although each Great Daoist Sect’s disciples secretly compete, it doesn’t affect the whole, as this is a good thing. Competition brings pressure.

After the conversation ended, under the guidance of their master, the two women also left Nanmu Island.

"Master, I plan to meet that person now."

Outside Nanmu Immortal Island, Ye Qingran said to Jin Yao.

"Do you need me to take you?"

"You just arrived in the Divine Domain, so there may be many places you are not familiar with." Jin Yao liked her two newly acquired disciples very much.

Their talents, personalities, and work styles were all the types she admired, and she was considering focusing on their training.

"No need, Master. Senior Uncle has already given me the location of that person, I can find it on my own."

"Since it’s a task assigned by Senior Uncle, I want to complete it alone."

Ye Qingran said slowly.

This was her first important task after arriving in the Divine Domain, and she had to complete it. It was very important.

"Alright, do your best and don’t force yourself."

Jin Yao advised.

Even the elder brother couldn’t handle Su Ming, so she feared her two disciples might have difficulties.

Although they came from the same place, perhaps they were separated by an era, so even knowing each other was a question.

"Okay."

"Moon Cicada, you come with me."

Ye Qingran said to Bai Yuechan.

She hadn’t forgotten Bai Yuechan, who had once been her disciple; now, she was her senior sister. Regardless of her identity, she would always think of Moon Cicada first when good things came.

....

On their journey, Bai Yuechan couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Sister, can you guess who the person Senior Uncle mentioned is?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingran was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can’t guess."

"It is very likely someone from a different era."

"We’ll know when we see."

......

The Divine Domain was truly vast, and the place where Senior Uncle mentioned that person lived was rather remote.

After three days of travel, the two finally locked onto a desolate and barren mountain.

Looking at this barren mountain, Bai Yuechan was stunned.

The promising disciple admired by Senior Uncle actually lived in such a barren place where not even birds linger.

After landing on the barren mountain, the two women headed towards a small black-tiled house at the top of the mountain.

The wooden gate of the courtyard was open, and the two of them entered the courtyard without any obstruction.

Upon entering the yard, they saw a man in black clothes sitting cross-legged on a giant black rock, meditating and cultivating.

Upon sensing the arrival, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.

Their gazes collided at this moment.

When Ye Qingran saw the appearance of the man in black, she was momentarily stunned.

An image of a long-forgotten memory came alive in her mind, with a silhouette gradually becoming clearer.

Su Ming was also stunned upon seeing them, his dark eyes full of incredulity.

"It’s you?!"

Ye Qingran was the first to speak, her tone full of disbelief.

"Sect Leader Ye."

"I never expected we would meet again in such a way."

Su Ming coldly chuckled and spoke slowly.

Watching Su Ming, Bai Yuechan’s memories also began to emerge.

Su Ming, the former Hall Master of the Dark Inference Demon Hall on the Four Emperors Continent!

Back then, the Four Emperors established four major sects on the continent: Dao Ancient Divine Sect, Dark Inference Demon Hall, Huanxu Divine Sect, and South Burning Divine Sect.

Later, after the Four Emperors left the continent, many years passed.

Su Ming became the Hall Master of the Dark Inference Demon Hall, and Ye Qingran became the Sect Leader of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, making them two great rivals.

Therefore, the memories were so profound.

.....

After a long silence, Ye Qingran coldly chuckled, "Now I understand why the ’Four Emperors Continent’ was renamed to the ’Dark Inference Demon Realm’."

After seeing Su Ming, Ye Qingran realized.

After she left, Su Ming should have led the Demon Hall to unite the continent, hence the renaming to "Dark Inference Demon Realm."

A few days ago when Senior Uncle asked her, she couldn’t remember at the time because it was so long ago, she had completely forgotten the existence of the Dark Inference Demon Hall.

....

Since the Four Emperors Continent had been unified by Su Ming, it also meant that the Dao Ancient Divine Sect, where she once belonged, no longer existed.

However, she didn’t care much or hold any grudge against Su Ming.

Because from the moment she boarded the Wood of Time and left the Four Emperors Continent, the Dao Ancient Divine Sect had little to do with her.

Moreover, now that a million years had passed, the scale and specifications of the Dao Ancient Divine Sect could not last this long, so no matter what, it would vanish in the long years. These were predetermined causes and effects, destined beginnings and ends, predestined to perish.

She was curious about how Su Ming left the Four Emperors Continent.

Because at that time, the Spiritual Power of the Four Emperors Continent was too scarce; no matter how one cultivated, they couldn’t break through the world barrier and ascend away.

...

"Demon Lord Su, past grudges are just that, in the past."

"Now we are both part of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance. If you think about it, we are colleagues now."

Ye Qingran slowly said.

"I am very curious about how you left the Four Emperors Continent back then..." Su Ming had the same curiosity.

Because Ye Qingran not only left the Four Emperors Continent tens of thousands of years before him, but she also took the then-weak Bai Yuechan with her.

"How you left is how I left....."

Ye Qingran’s eyes were sharp; she had already guessed that the Wood of Time left by the Four Emperors might not have been exclusive to the Dao Ancient Divine Sect.

"Did you ride the Wood of Time...." Su Ming asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingran was stunned, it was indeed as she guessed.

Seeing Ye Qingran not answer, Su Ming also had his answer in his heart, then he said softly, "I had the Wood of Time, but I didn’t use it to leave...."

Su Ming did not use the Wood of Time to cross the River of Time to leave, but instead, with his own strength, he forcefully shattered the continent’s shackles, ascending in broad daylight.

He left the Wood of Time to future generations, just as his master had left it to him back then.

......

Hearing this, Ye Qingran was stunned.

Without relying on the Wood of Time, to break through the continent’s shackles on his own and ascend all the way to the Divine Domain.

She suddenly felt a deep respect for Su Ming.

...

"Sect Leader Ye, there’s something I want to ask you."

Suddenly, Su Ming’s expression became serious.

"Ask away."

"Since we are now colleagues, you don’t need to call me Sect Leader, that’s all in the past."

Ye Qingran slowly said.

"Did you encounter... the Ancestor when you were crossing the River of Time on the Wood of Time?"

Su Ming looked at Ye Qingran, with a hint of expectant light glimmering in his deep pupils.
