His reaction was similar Third Mo, when he saw ‘Soul’s search for the root’.
Feng Zhi Xing raised his head and held onto Sima You Yue’s hand. He said excitedly, “Wh- Where did you get this array method?”
This was the first time that Sima You Yue had seen him so excited. In the past, eh was always cool and composed. Even when he was trapped back then, he only smiled when he saw that the Feng Clan had come to his rescue.
“I took this out from a grave. I saw that the array written inside was pretty good, so I wanted to share it with Master.” She said with a smile, “However, it was a gift from someone, so I couldn’t give you the original copy.”
“Then, are you able to let me see that book?”
Sima You Yue took out that book, and it was that book that Wu Lingyu had found for her.
Feng Zhi Xing held that book with both hands and read the biography on the cover. “That’s right, that’s right. This is the one. This is the book. After being lost for so many years, I actually have the fortune to find it.”
“Master, you know this book?” Sima You Yue asked.
It didn’t seem that the book had a name, so how did he know that this was the book?
“This is the Hundred Changing Doors, the first array door. Their gatekeeper created this book, and it was treated as the jewel of the world of arrays. It was rumored that this book disappeared when he died, and everyone suspected that it followed him into the grave. However,?since they still had a copy of it, nobody really minded. However, when that copy went missing as well, everyone recalled the original book. However, at that time the hundred changing door had already been moved to the inner regions and the previous generations of the past had already died. The creator’s grave was also impossible to locate.
Sima You Yue never thought that so many things would have happened, and even less so that Feng Zhi Xing would be able to recognise the origins of the book at a glance.
When she saw that he couldn’t bear to part with it, she was tempted to give it to him. However, she thought about how Wu Lingyu had been locked inside an array for two years in order to obtain that book for her, and even hurt his soul in the process. If she were to give it away, based on his personality, he would definitely be upset. After hesitating for a long while, she finally decided not to speak.
Feng Zhi Xing took a good long look at the book, then compared it to the content that he had seen on his copy earlier on. He realised that Sima You Yue had copied it extremely seriously, such that there was not a single difference. She had even painstakingly copied those parts that she had yet to understand.
He handed the book back to her saying, “I’ll keep the copy and return this book to you. You must take very good care of this one-and-only book. You cannot casually take it out in front of others either, unless you really trust them.”
Sima You Yue nodded and kept the book away.
She knew the value that this book held on the entire continent. If others were to find out about the existence of the book, unless she was willing to share it, she would just invite countless amounts of trouble.
“Master, I’m going to head back now.” Sima You Yue stood up and said.
“Mm, oh right. Since you’re heading back, can you help me to tell those from the Kong Valley that I will prepare to head back once the others return tomorrow?” Feng Zhi Xing said, “You should take this time to rest properly as well. Once you head back, if anyone asks about your journey in the devil realm, you should think of a good excuse.”
“Yeah, I will.” Sima You Yue said.
Since so many had come to look for her, she was afraid that news on the main continent would have long since reached the ears of those in the devil realm. If they saw her return, those who were not able to ask Wu Lingyu would definitely come and ask her. It seemed that she had no choice but to discuss what they would say later on.
Actually, based on what Mo Sha explained, they had not really gone deep into the devil realm. They had merely caused a little fuss here and there. It was as if they were a bustling city and they were just taking a stroll around the country.
Mo Sha had explained that the things she had seen were still pretty good because they hadn’t gone too deep. If they were to go in deeper, she definitely wouldn’t feel that life in the devil realm was still okay.
Sima You Yue never agreed nor disagreed with him. She was just a guest in the devil realm, and she wasn’t a bit bothered about how the devil realm actually was. However, she never expected that she would enter the devil realm once again a few years later and go through so many earth-shattering things.
Later on, when she went to the place where Wu Lingyu rested and he knew that she came and said, “If anyone asks you, just say you don’t know anything and were in a daze the entire time. By the time you came back to your senses, we had already returned to the Blood Tunnel.”
“So are we going to say that you rescued me? We’re going to get them to go to you for the events that happened?” Sima You Yue blinked.
This story was good, and she had no idea what was going on anyway. She didn’t know what happened in the devil realm, so if they wanted to know anything, it was better for them to ask the Holy Son of the sage pavilion. She wanted to see would actually ask him, how many would dare to ask him!
After settling the issue, she went back without worry.
Once the Egrets’s elder, Bai Qing, led the egret clan and elders back, she finally recalled those few elders who had been kept in her spirit pagoda. Little Roc had already told them not to let news of the spirit pagoda leak out. After those clan elders meet Crimson Flame, who was the highest ranked divine bird of their bird clans. Even Little Roc couldn’t hold a candle to him. At the moment, they were both excited and scared, quick to express that they would not reveal what happened today.
Crimson Flame transformed into a human male as he said, “I still trust myself more.”
He formed a seal with both hands as a few rings of red light entered the minds of these elders.
“This things will not affect you normally. However, the moment you think of exposing our spirit pagoda, it will take your life immediately. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try.” Crimson Flame said.
The few elders expressed their loyalties again, saying once again that they would never ever reveal a thing. They even expressed their willingness to stay here to follow Little Roc and crimson flame.
Crimson Flame initially wanted to reject them, but he thought about how Sima You Yue was still weak. Although she had Ninth Roc and the others, it would be better to keep these few old birds around. As such, he agreed to their request.
As such, when she saw Bai Qing, Sima You Yue somewhat felt that she had let him down. It was as if she had trapped him against a wall.
As for Bai Qing, when they heard those elders say that they wanted to remain by Little Roc’s side to protect them on behalf of the egrets, he expressed his approval and kept asking whether or not it was enough, and if he should assign two more elders.
When Sima You Yue saw the way he was behaving, it seemed that he would have volunteered personally to remain behind if he were not the king of the Egrets.
It was tough to send the enthusiastic Bai Qing off before keeping those elders back in the spirit pagoda. Then, she finally took the time to rest.
On the morning of the second day, Ximen Feng told her that everyone was prepared to set off.
Sima You Yue went out and sat on the flying spirit beasts together. They flew to the ancient primordial lands and went through layers of thick fog before they finally returned to the red canyons and saw the blue sky that they hadn’t seen in a long while.
