Ye Tianchen never expected that on the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, ”Taiyi Mountain”, there would be such a mysteriously eerie place. If it’s truly as the local tour guide described, even the power of an entire nation wouldn’t be enough to develop this area. Then, Ye Tianchen could only think of one possibility: there must be some kind of powerful force on Zhongnan Mountain, most likely the power of martial artists!

It’s important to know that Earth was once a flourishing world for cultivation. Over time, society evolved to separate the Mortal World and the Ancient Martial World. The bygone era of cultivation was Earth’s thriving era, indistinguishable between the Mortal World and the Ancient Martial World. Indeed, in the entire Martial Arts World, both were interconnected. However, because Earth encountered certain issues, it evolved into the current state. Great Divine Ability Users, in order to preserve Earth’s last remaining spiritual energy, used powerful formations to divide Earth into three major Ancient Martial Worlds. Therefore, the once interconnected Mortal World and Ancient Martial World must have some traces left by martial artists, perhaps even some powerful inheritances and formations. Does Zhongnan Mountain have any of this?

Regardless of whether it does, Ye Tianchen decided to uncover the truth, for it was simply too bizarre. Not only couldn’t China’s government develop this area, but even when he deployed his powerful divine thought to explore, he couldn’t see the road ahead clearly—it was all hazy. This left Ye Tianchen perplexed—how could this be? Given his cultivation realm and formidable energy, it was impossible not to detect some information; there must be something amiss!

During the day, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei visited numerous places. Zhongnan Mountain is quite extensive, although some areas have roads built, housing, and dining options are resolved here. Yet, many areas remain in their pristine state—one, because the primitive scenery is exceptionally beautiful, and two, due to certain reasons, the nation cannot develop them and can only maintain their current state!

The entire day, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei truly enjoyed their sightseeing—it was genuine tourism. During their travels, they inquired people—be they tourists or locals—hoping to find some clues about Yong Chun Tai, but to no avail!

Night soon fell, and this time Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei didn’t get drunk. Though they drank last night, nothing untoward happened between the lone man and woman. Yet, it was indeed awkward, and both had mentally prepared themselves. If they drank again this second night, then it would be deliberate!

At the mountain top of Taiyi Mountain, Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei found a pleasant spot, brewed tea, and leisurely chatted while sipping. This day, they visited several places. In the end, they decided to stay atop Taiyi Mountain, as it is the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, and there are plenty of entertainment options. Of course, there’s another reason—Ye Tianchen insisted on staying another night, as he had certain plans!

”Look, that star is truly beautiful!” Liu Rumei glanced up at the starry sky, smilingly remarked.

Ye Tianchen also glanced up, responding, ”Yes, the night sky is stunning; it’s rare to have leisure time to admire it!”

”You vanished for ten years, and I’m curious about where you went and what kind of life you led during those years,” Liu Rumei asked, with a curious look at Ye Tianchen.

”Hehe, some things are better left unknown. There are too many unknowns in this world, and knowing them doesn’t bring any benefit—it’s better to be unaware for more ease!” Ye Tianchen laughed.

”Alright, since you’re unwilling to share, I won’t push you. Thank you for accompanying me on this trip!” Liu Rumei said with a slight smile.

”Isn’t that being too formal? In these past ten years, I wouldn’t know how to repay you for all you’ve done for the Ye family!” Ye Tianchen shook his head, smiling.

”Repay? If I was looking for repayment, I wouldn’t have done all this. In life, we rarely have moments to choose, driven by emotions!” Liu Rumei sipped her tea thoughtfully.

Ye Tianchen was a bit taken aback; he hadn’t expected Liu Rumei to have such profound insights into life, her words containing a philosophy akin to the great Tao. Could it be that Liu Rumei has a talent for cultivation?

Without responding verbally, Ye Tianchen simply smiled, lifted his teacup, and glanced skywards at the brightest star. However, upon his second look, he was stunned, even a bit shocked. He distinctly felt that the position of the brightest star he first observed had changed significantly—this speed of movement was exceptionally swift!

What is going on? In the blink of an eye, the brightest star in the sky had shifted such a great distance—it’s unbelievable! If Ye Tianchen hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it, even if a Great Divine Ability User or a powerful martial artist had used some technique. To move this star so quickly would be an incredibly difficult feat, right?

”Look at the brightest star; do you notice any change?” Ye Tianchen asked, looking at Liu Rumei sipping tea.

Liu Rumei glanced up at that star, smiling, ”It’s still so beautiful, what change could there be?”

Ye Tianchen was astonished at her response; the star he saw had evidently moved a significant distance in the sky. Yet, when asking Liu Rumei, she seemed completely unaware—how could this be?

”Oh, nothing. Just feel tonight the star seems brilliantly bright!” Ye Tianchen laughed.

In the next moment, though Ye Tianchen sat across from Liu Rumei, his powerful divine thought soared toward the sky and reached for the star. Though Ye Tianchen knew his divine thought couldn’t possibly reach outside Earth to that star, it could at least get closer for clearer observation!

Divine Thought is an ethereal entity. When Ye Tianchen’s divine thought probed, he realized the brightest star continued moving towards the Taiyi Mountain’s rear mountains, incredibly swiftly. Normally, it would remain unnoticed, unvalued. If not for him being a martial artist with great divine thought power, he wouldn’t have detected this. What further astounds Ye Tianchen is this brightest star is moving towards Taiyi Mountain’s rear—the very spot he toured with the local guide today. The mysterious Taiyi Mountain rear, the mysterious star—is there an inevitable link between them? Ye Tianchen couldn’t help pondering this.

”Hey, hey, what’s wrong?” Liu Rumei saw Ye Tianchen staring blankly at the sky and called out.

”Oh, nothing, it’s getting late, shall we return to rest?” Ye Tianchen snapped out of it, smiling.

Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen, didn’t say much, and simply followed him back to the hotel from last night. When entering the lobby, Liu Rumei approached the front desk, asking, ”Excuse me, are there any available rooms?”

”I’m sorry, there’s none available!” the front desk clerk shook her head.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Liu Rumei, dejectedly remarking, ”See? I told you it’s already full—you thought I was lying? Am I such a vile person?”

”Who knows?” Liu Rumei glared at Ye Tianchen.

”If you came last night, there were plenty of rooms available!” chimed in the front desk clerk.

In an instant, Liu Rumei’s mind buzzed, emotion surged, clenching her fists tightly, she lowly growled, ”Ye Tianchen...”

When Liu Rumei turned to look at Ye Tianchen, she found him already inside the elevator, closing the door. She rushed over, seemingly itching to give him a beating. As for Ye Tianchen, he had endless excuses, helpless before what might be a deliberate setup by the clerk. Clearly, when checking in yesterday, only one room remained, yet the clerk’s claim of many rooms from the night before was inciting Liu Rumei’s wrath—turning Ye Tianchen into the kind of contemptible scoundrel who takes advantage of a drunk woman!

Just as Ye Tianchen entered the room, Liu Rumei charged in, her cute face seriouly retaining a fierce demeanor, firmly clenching her fists, scolding, ”You liar, you must have schemed this—it’s despicable!”

”Hey, I... when I came to book last night, there was definitely only one room available. This clerk is purposely setting me up!” Ye Tianchen wailed in frustration.

”Purposely setting you up? Is there a need? Does she have a grudge against you? Surely you’ve plotted this long ago. Tell me, did you do anything despicable to me last night?” Liu Rumei gritted her teeth.

”No, no, definitely not—I swear, I assure you!” Ye Tianchen hurriedly raised his right hand.

”No way—unless you explain last night satisfactorily, you and I are far from done!” Liu Rumei lunged at Ye Tianchen, who quickly evaded. Naturally, he wouldn’t bicker seriously with Liu Rumei, a young woman—it would be too unmanly! (To be continued.
