At this moment, although Chu Feng had left the Ancient Realm, he was still within this world — at the very spot where he had stepped into the Ancient Realm before.
Yet this place, which had been absolutely teeming with people before, was now completely devoid of a single soul.
Chu Feng was not surprised by this. After witnessing the spectacle of the Blue Moon Divine Temple, everyone had surely fled in terror.
He just hadn't expected that even the Firmament Immortal Sect would slip away so quickly.
Chu Feng laid down a formation and placed it on Bai Yunqing.
Bai Yunqing quickly regained consciousness.
"Big Brother Chu Feng?"
"Big Brother, you're okay?"
"How did you recover so well? We're not dead, are we? But why does this place look so familiar?" As soon as Bai Yunqing woke up, he immediately looked around.
After he lost consciousness that day, even though he was healed by the Ancient World, he remained in a coma the entire time.
So his memory was still stuck at the time when the Green Moon Temple occupied the Ancient World.
"We're not dead, we're perfectly fine," Chu Feng explained the situation of the Ancient World to Bai Yunqing in broad strokes.
But he only mentioned that Xiao Yueya was a powerhouse from the Ancient World, and that she had destroyed the Green Moon Temple. He did not speak of how Xiao Yueya had used him to enter the Spatial World.
"Damn, that Xiao Yueya is that powerful? Wasn't she just a little brat?"
"But the Green Moon Temple really had it coming, and that old geezer too."
After learning what had happened, Bai Yunqing was also quite surprised. After all, who could have guessed that little girl would be such a formidable existence?
But regarding the destruction of the Green Moon Temple and Yuan Jiang, Bai Yunqing looked extremely pleased, grinning from ear to ear.
However, when he saw Chu Feng's face, which held not a trace of a smile, he suddenly realized something.
He immediately reined in his laughter, his expression turning sorrowful.
"Big brother, I know you're having a hard time, but those of us who are still alive have to keep moving forward. You really need to accept what happened and carry on," Bai Yunqing said.
Hearing these words, Her Majesty grew displeased. "Accept what happened? Accept what, exactly?"
"Chu Feng, open the Spirit World gate," Her Majesty ordered.
Chu Feng complied without hesitation. The moment the Spirit World gate swung open, Her Majesty shot out in an instant.
"Bai Yunqing, this queen is still very much alive, so shut your cursed mouth."
After delivering that single line, Her Majesty turned and slipped back into the Spirit World.
In truth, the reason Her Majesty had bothered to come out and confront Bai Yunqing in person was that she actually had a decent impression of her.
After all, back on that day, Bai Yunqing had a chance to save her own life, yet she had given it up for Chu Feng's sake.
She had also furiously cursed the Green Moon Temple on Her Majesty's behalf, which had completely changed how Her Majesty viewed her.
"Wow, so this lady is still alive after all — that is truly wonderful news!"
"But her condition doesn't seem all that great," Bai Yunqing said.
"It really doesn't," Chu Feng nodded.
"Big brother, then what do you plan to do next?" Bai Yunqing asked.
"I want to go to the Heavenly River of the Immortal Sea," Chu Feng said.
However, the moment Chu Feng said this, Her Majesty grew anxious.
"Chu Feng, what are you going to the Heavenly River of the Immortal Sea for?"
"You're not allowed to go. If you go, this queen will not be happy."
She knew why Chu Feng wanted to go to the Heavenly River of the Immortal Sea — naturally, it was to seek help from Shaoyu of the Immortal Sea.
Yet when Chu Feng had faced difficulties himself, he had steadfastly refused to seek Shaoyu's help, insisting on solving things on his own.
Now he had changed his mind.
The Queen certainly knew it was because of her, but she refused to let it be that way.
"Dan Dan..." Chu Feng tried to persuade her once more, because he was genuinely worried about the Queen. Otherwise, he would never have begged Little Yueya on her behalf just moments ago.
Seeing the Queen like this filled him with unease. He feared that the slightest misstep on her part would forever separate the living from the dead.
That was why he wanted to seize every possible chance at helping the Queen recover.
But the Queen's voice was firm as she said, "Stop talking. You are absolutely not to go."
Faced with the Queen like this, Chu Feng was at a loss for what to do.
"Big Brother, why are you going to the Heavenly River of the Immortal Sea? Is there a way there to help that Spirit World girl recover?" Bai Yunqing asked.
He was a perceptive man. He had seen that Chu Feng was someone who valued bonds and loyalty, and so he deduced that Chu Feng's next destination must be to seek treatment for the Queen.
"There is," Chu Feng admitted without elaboration.
"Then who are you planning to find? Do you have full confidence in them?" Bai Yunqing asked.
"I'm not very confident." Chu Feng shook his head.
Although Chu Feng already knew of Xianhai Shaoyu's identity, the Queen's injuries were severe. As a Spirit World Master, he could sense that this situation would be difficult to treat.
The Xianhai Fish Clan was powerful, but they were not skilled in barrier arts. Moreover, he didn't even know if Xianhai Shaoyu was currently with the Xianhai Fish Clan. Even if he rushed over, it was very likely he would find nothing.
Chu Feng truly did not have much confidence.
"If you're not very confident, then I have an idea," Bai Yunqing said.
"Brother Bai, what idea do you have?" Chu Feng asked quickly.
"My Master is not only the strongest Spirit World Master of the Totem Galaxy, but his barrier arts also hold a place of renown across the entire vast Martial Cultivation World."
"Even the Seven Realms Sacred Palace once extended an olive branch to my Master."
"Big Brother, those in the Seven Realms Sacred Palace are a bunch of old fossils. Although they are composed of many powerful Spirit World Masters, they are also divided into multiple factions, and they are currently very exclusive."
"Especially after the Seven Realms Sacred Palace unified the Seven Realms Galaxy, they are even more inclined to keep their resources for their own people."
"Joining the Seven Realms Sacred Palace has been an incredibly difficult feat for a very long time, and anyone who receives an invitation from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace must surely be a figure of renown throughout the vast martial cultivation world."
"So my Master's formation techniques are by no means unearned reputation — they are truly remarkable. Moreover, he is versatile in all aspects: offensive and defensive formations, healing methods — he excels in all of them," Bai Yunqing said.
"Then... will your Master help me?" Chu Feng asked.
