"Third Sister, Third Sister, how should this sword technique be used?"

In a daze, a very familiar voice appeared in Zhou Yuqing's ears, and in her view was a naive child holding a wooden sword, tugging at her sleeve with an innocent face.

In the small courtyard, apart from the two of them, there was also a young boy who was seriously reading and nodding his head, and a young girl who was fertilizing the osmanthus tree in the yard.

The moment she saw their figures, Zhou Yuqing's mind conjured the images of her Fourth Brother, Second Brother, and Eldest Sister.

Except for the youthful Fourth Brother, whether it was the reading Second Brother or the Eldest Sister caring for the osmanthus tree, their faces were all shrouded in a thin mist, making Zhou Yuqing unable to see clearly.

Yet, she could see the surrounding courtyard very clearly and instantly recognized it as the courtyard in Qingliang City.

"Third Sister?" A hesitant voice brought Zhou Yuqing back from her reverie.

Zhou Yuzhi looked at the very familiar red-haired girl, disbelief still apparent in his eyes.

Although Chen Hua had mentioned this to him before, he really hadn't expected his deceased Third Sister to actually appear before him.

"Liang Yi, what's going on here?" When Zhou Yuzhi saw Liang Yi next to his Third Sister, he knew this matter was almost certainly related to Chen Hua.

As for their purpose in coming here, it was most likely connected to the Elder Sister in the back mountain.

Liang Yi didn't conceal anything, and directly conveyed everything their master had entrusted him with.

During this process, Zhou Yuqing remained blankly staring at Zhou Yuzhi. For some reason, she felt an urge to thump him on the head.

Zhou Yuzhi subconsciously shrank his shoulders as he felt an attack on his head that he hadn't experienced in many years, looking towards Zhou Yuqing.

Now he was somewhat convinced that she really was his Third Sister, and not someone who just looked exactly like her.

After all, his Third Sister was a complete fanatic of violence, her favorite pastime in childhood being to bully him. His move to Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool was also partly motivated by a desire to distance himself from his violent older sister.

Little did he know, that parting would be forever.

Zhou Yuqing felt a flutter of excitement, realizing she indeed had family, and that she was not always alone.

Although her memory had not fully recovered yet, it was already a significant improvement over before.

"A seal?" Zhou Yuzhi frowned upon hearing about the current situation of his Third Sister.

He was a Sword Cultivator, good at killing, but when it came to matters of the Divine Soul, he really did not know how to proceed.

"If Fang Zhi that rude guy were here, maybe he could do something... wait a minute." Zhou Yuzhi's expression shifted slightly as he annoyed slapped his forehead.

He suddenly remembered that at the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, there was actually an expert in Divine Soul, who was also someone his Third Sister could completely trust.

Their Eldest Sister, Zhou Ruanxian.

"Big Sister is in the back mountain, I'll take you guys there first," Zhou Yuzhi said as he looked up at Liang Yi and the others including Zhou Yuqing.

"Mm." Liang Yi naturally had no objections, Su Youyi was curious about this never-seen-before mother, and Uncle Orange was just a silent decoration.

Yet, Zhou Yuqing felt a bit anxious inside, this feeling came without warning, as if instinctively excited.

"Elder Song, you return to the Sect first, I will take them," Zhou Yuzhi turned to look at Song Youwang who was listening by the side, instructing with a smile.

"Yes!" Song Youwang had vaguely heard about the Banished Immortal's wife and, noticing that this was a matter pertaining to the Sect Master's family, he didn't linger and immediately transformed into flowing light to return to the sect.

After Zhou Yu disengaged the Sect Protection Array from its alert state, he took the lead, transforming into sword light that tore through the void to lead the way, with Zhou Yuqing and Liang Yi closely following by his side.

"Did Chen Hua ask you to bring any message for the elder sister?" Zhou Yu asked Liang Yi casually on the way.

Chen Hua hadn't seen the elder sister since she secluded herself, and only he knew of the loneliness that accompanied her all these years.

"No, the master didn't say anything." Liang Yi shook his head, the master had left no special messages for him to bring.

"Is that so." Zhou Yu sighed softly.

The tunneling light speed of Zhou Yu and Zhou Yuqing was extremely fast, covering great distances in an instant.

In just a few breaths, Liang Yi saw the palace they had visited after coming out of the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm.

However, they did not stop and flashed past it, continuing eastward.

The ninety-ninth Snow Mountain was just a metaphorical reference, representing the extreme end of the Extreme East.

Previously, amidst the numerous snow mountains, snowflakes drifted about, but as they ventured deeper, the whole world seemed to have come to a halt.

Although their forward speed hadn't slowed, Liang Yi and Su Youyi distinctly felt some unknown changes around them.

"Look around," Old Man Ju squinted his eyes; his mastery of the Law sharpened his senses, allowing him to notice these changes.

It was only after Old Man Ju's reminder that Liang Yi and Su Youyi realized the snow wasn't falling anymore; instead, the snowflakes were frozen directly in the air before they could fall.

Everything around, even the void itself, was frozen; the unknown changes Liang Yi and Su Youyi noticed were just that.

However, the frozen void remained transparent and colorless, just like before, which was why they did not notice it initially.

If they were to stay here, even if they could withstand the freezing cold that could shatter Magical Treasures and break through the frozen void, their progress would be unimaginably slow.

"Swoosh!"

A strand of flame rose; and some time later, even Zhou Yu and Zhou Yuqing had to activate their mana to resist the surrounding cold.

"Senior brother, look ahead!" Su Youyi suddenly exclaimed.

"What's that... Why is it dark there?" Liang Yi looked up, seeing that at the far end of the snow mountains, rather than continuous peaks, there was a swath of darkness enveloping the area.

"That's the Land of Extreme Night within the Extreme East," Zhou Yu explained.

"Past that line, the temperature is so low that even light is frozen and unable to move, which is why it appears pitch black."

"The Land of Extreme Night, huh? The cold Law from the beginning of this world is contained within," Old Man Ju said to Liang Yi, gazing into the darkness.

"The entire Land of Extreme Night is under the coverage of the cold Law. The farther away you are, the weaker the power of the Law becomes. Only after passing the area beyond the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool do other Laws interweave to form the four seasons."

Liang Yi shivered, truly terrified. Without the protection of Elder Zhou, had they been directly exposed to the surrounding air, they might have turned into ice sculptures instantly, right?

"We've arrived."

As the darkness drew closer, the oppressive feeling brought by the overwhelming darkness grew heavier.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't rush headlong into it, but instead slowed down, finally stopping on a snow mountain near the boundary between black and white.
