From the Zhu Hongxing Domain located on the edge of the Endless Star Sea, to the central region where Purple Cliff Mountain is located, it would take approximately a year for a monk in the Saint Realm to fly there with their own ability.
Therefore, most factions have their own means of transportation, and they travel on various types of ships that navigate the void.
These ships are truly flying vessels. Bai Yan is currently sitting in the shuttle, immersed in comprehending a more powerful Martial Arts Secret Technique.
This journey of his will take about three days, during which he can hardly move or eat, having to maintain a reclined posture throughout.
To increase the speed of the shuttle, researchers from Demon Island sacrificed all comfort, with the shuttle having only one function: traversing the void.
[Dear passenger, there is a medium-sized ship blocking the route ahead. Would you like to activate the short-distance space jump feature?]
The shuttle is equipped with the evolved Red Queen's Dungeon, capable of connecting to the mainframe on Demon Island for extremely powerful computations.
At this time, it detected a ship directly obstructing the path ahead of the shuttle, thus sounding the alarm to wake Bai Yan.
"Hmm, activate it, and catch up to the bracelet as fast as possible."
Bai Yan, adhering to the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, prepared to activate the short-distance space jump feature.
However, he did not expect that the bracelet had different intentions.
A vast Rule Power gathered around the jade-colored bracelet, like a comet speeding through space, violently crashing into the medium-sized ship in front of Bai Yan.
Although the ship was only medium-sized, it could actually carry over a thousand people. When struck by the bracelet, the entire ship disintegrated into dust, leaving no trace behind.
Seeing the jade-colored bracelet in front of him celebrating, Bai Yan suddenly felt it was like a mischievous child acting up in front of its parent.
Fortunately, Bai Yan did not encounter more situations like this; otherwise, the bracelet would have aggressively swept away anything blocking its path.
Three days later, Bai Yan reached the area where Purple Cliff Mountain is located.
He initially considered visiting the sect leader, An Yunchen, of Purple Cliff Mountain, as it would be polite to announce his presence upon reaching their territory. However, whenever he deviated from his path, the bracelet would return and manually correct his course.
If Bai Yan knew how urgent the bracelet would be, he would have had the engineers from Demon Island dismantle the navigation system of the shuttle, saving space.
Of course, that was unrealistic, for now, he stood outside the retreat of Su Zhijun.
Here, in a star domain surrounded by countless small planets, the center was not a star but a dazzling divine light.
Bai Yan stepped out of the shuttle and put it away, knowing he would need it again for his return.
Suspended in the void, Bai Yan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place, choosing to traverse the orbiting planets without the bracelet's guidance.
With each step closer to the divine light, the scene within it became clearer to Bai Yan.
"Ding-dong~"
Suddenly, as if passing through a barrier, the silence of the void was replaced by the gentle sound of trickling water.
The water flowed continuously, winding and turning within the barrier, before pouring into a small wooden cabin across a rainbow bridge.
Bai Yan's emotions began to surge with anticipation, nervousness, and a touch of helplessness.
However, the cabin's occupant did not give Bai Yan any time to linger.
A woman of unparalleled beauty emerged from the cabin, her skin as creamy as jade, eyebrows like willow leaves, and tearful eyes, stirring heartache in Bai Yan.
"You finally came... do you know how long I've awaited this moment?"
The woman wore a white ruqun that highlighted her luminously fair skin.
In a few light steps, she approached Bai Yan, embracing him with her slender arms around his muscular back.
"I don't want you to leave... if you must, take me with you! Ten thousand years..."
She paused here, then continued with a sigh, choked with emotion, "It's been too long..."
Though Bai Yan did not recall the woman's visage in his memory, the instant he saw her, a name leapt into his mind.
He instinctively hugged her back, softly comforting her by her ear, "I'm not leaving this time, truly."
"Pinky swear!"
"Alright, pinky swear for ten thousand years, no changing!"
If anyone knew that the Saintess of Purple Cliff Mountain was playing child's games, it would leave everyone shocked.
"What's happening, Goddess? Are you being threatened? Don't worry, we are coming to rescue you!"
Most people would imagine such a scene and throw themselves into a battle against the Demon King Bai Yan without hesitation.
However, Su Zhijun was not what they imagined.
She lay against Bai Yan's chest, softly crying over her millennia-long wait for him.
"Why did you take so long... sob... it was so hard waiting..."
"Sob, sob..."
Though Bai Yan had not recovered all past life memories, he could deeply feel Su Zhijun's attachment to him.
Bai Yan was speechless, merely holding Su Zhijun gently, softly patting her back, and speaking quietly by her ear.
"I'm here, I'm here..."
The two embraced before the rainbow bridge, which appeared even more vivid at their reunion, celebrating the reunion of this perfect couple.
The jade bracelet that brought Bai Yan here danced around, asserting its presence.
Feeling the bracelet's movements, Su Zhijun blushed deeply, her eyes a shimmering pool, trying to push Bai Yan away.
Of course, Bai Yan wouldn't let her go, dominantly pulling Su Zhijun into his arms again, speaking in a low voice by her ear.
"I won't let you leave again, I forbid it!"
Bai Yan wasn't sure why these words came forth, but they seemed utterly fitting and necessary at that moment!
Under Bai Yan's embrace, Su Zhijun blushed from ears to face, burying her head in his chest, refusing to look up again.
