The next day, early in the morning.

A large silver-gray spaceship about fifty or sixty meters long flew from the direction of Yunwu Ancient City and landed on the central square of the academy.

Not far away, a large group of students were waiting here, and when they saw the spaceship stopped, they all walked over excitedly.

"It's big, this is the first time I've seen a real spaceship, I've only seen it on pictures before. Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

"Then you're not only seeing the real thing today, but you're also going to ride it back to Paradise City. Lin Tianying said with a smile.

"Then let's go, line up, and talk about it when we go up. Ye Chen was very excited, carrying the special products that Lin Tianying had bought for him, and strode over.

Lin Tianying smiled slightly and followed closely behind.

The line is long, but the pace of progress is not slow. In a short time, the thousands of students waiting here all boarded the spacecraft.

"Buzz".

The spaceship trembled slightly, slowly lifted into the air, and after rising for thousands of meters, it began to accelerate and fly into the distance, flying higher and faster, and finally disappeared above the clouds.

Through the window, looking at the white clouds below the spaceship and the endless blue sky in the distance, Ye Chen's eyes were a little longing, when would he have the strength to swim under this sky alone.

"The first stop of the spaceship is our Pleasant City, which is much faster than when we came, and we can reach Pleasant City in about an hour. Lin Tianying looked at the backward clouds outside the window and estimated the speed of the spaceship.

"Well, I haven't been back for almost a year, and I don't know what's going on at home?" Ye Chen muttered.

"You'll find out soon, but I don't think much has changed. Lin Tianying answered.

"Perhaps. Looking out the window, Ye Chen said a little casually.

......

An hour later.

"It's here. Ye Chen's spirit was shocked, and he could clearly feel that the spacecraft was slowing down, and at the same time, the flight altitude was constantly decreasing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yijing City is almost here, please prepare for those who want to get off the boat. A voice rang out in the cabin, not loud but loud enough for everyone to hear.

A few minutes later, the spaceship landed steadily on a wide flat ground outside Pleasant Realm, but it quickly rose high into the air, only a dozen or so more figures on the ground where it had just stayed.

"Finally back. Looking at the three big characters of "Yijing City" on the gate of the city not far away, Ye Chen smiled.

The other students were also excited, and did not say hello to the others, either alone or in groups of three or five, and walked towards their respective homes. Although they go to the same college and live in the same city, Yijing City is not small, and it is normal for them not to know each other.

After Ye Chen waved goodbye to Lin Tianying, he also walked straight home, everything along the way was still so familiar, and there was not much change.

"I'm back. Pushing open the door, Yechen shouted loudly.

"It's my brother, my brother is back. A crisp voice sounded from the living room, and then Ye Chen saw a small figure running towards him.

"I've grown taller again, are you naughty at home, are you obedient?" Ye Chen put down his things, picked up his sister who ran over, and asked happily.

"Xiaoling has always been very well-behaved at home. Ye Xiaoling said sweetly.

"Okay, I know that Xiaoling is the most well-behaved, so my brother bought a lot of delicious food and came back. Ye Chen lifted the bag and shook it in front of his sister's eyes.

"My brother is the best. Ye Xiaoling smiled.

"Hey, what about Mother, are you home alone?" Ye Chen walked to the living room with his sister in his arms, put the bag on the table, and did not see his parents.

"Well, Mom has something to do. Ye Xiaoling nodded.

"Xiaoling, mom is back. At this moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Mom is back. Ye Xiaoling said happily.

Ye Chen put his sister down, and Ye Xiaoling ran to the door excitedly, and said, "Mom, my brother is back." ”

"Chen'er is back, and I'm still used to life in the academy. Mother Liu Ru walked in and asked with concern.

"I'm used to it, by the way, I've brought some souvenirs back, how about you taste it." Ye Chen took out all the contents of the bag.

"It seems that you have gained a lot in the academy. Liu Rubing looked at Ye Chen carefully and felt that Ye Chen had changed a lot compared to before, and his mental state was completely different.

"yes. Ye Chen opened a pack of dim sum and handed it to Ye Xiaoling who came over, "The spiritual building technique I chose in the academy is the Spirit Refining Decision. ”

"Spiritual Refining Decision, I seem to have heard your father mention it, it seems to be a very magical exercise, but very few people can practice it. Liu Rubing thought about it.

"Well, the second layer of the "Spirit Refining Decision" will awaken the sad past that I don't want to think about in my heart, and only by facing it calmly can I break through the illusion. After a pause, Ye Chen said, "And I have already practiced the second layer of exercises. ”

"Really? That's great. Liu Rubing shook slightly, her eyes immediately turned red, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Of course, she knew what that meant, and even though Yechen seemed to have come out before, as a doctor, she still vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Therefore, before Yechen went to the academy, she repeatedly told Yechen to come back safely, just because she was afraid that he would be stimulated in the academy again and collapse.

And now Yechen has not only returned safely, but also completely walked out of the past, and everything is too beautiful.

"Mom, why are you crying?" Ye Xiaoling pulled Liu Rubing's sleeve and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, mom is so happy. Liu Rubing wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Is the thing my brother brought back delicious?"

"It's delicious, Mom, you eat it too. Ye Xiaoling handed the snack in her hand to Liu Rubing.

"Good. Liu Rubing picked up a piece of dim sum, tasted it, and praised: "The taste is good." ”

"Brother. Ye Xiaoling handed the snack to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and tasted a piece, seeing his mother crying with joy, his mood was a little heavy, he didn't know how to say it, he wanted to practice the third layer of exercises, and he was betting with his life.

Deep in the Wuling Mountains.

The main peak is shrouded in fog all year round.

At the top of the peak, there is a regular octagonal white high platform, each corner of the high platform is placed a lotus lamp, the wick of each lotus lamp is bubbling with white flames, and a drop of white water droplets flow down the wick into the cracks under the lamp, exuding a strong cold atmosphere.

The surface of the high platform is covered with complex and mysterious cracks, and white liquid flows inside, forming a strange formation diagram, if Yechen or Lin Tianying are present, they will definitely recognize this formation diagram, which is exactly the same as what they saw in the cave **.

In the very center of the high platform, a thumb-sized red bead was suspended, and the whole body exuded red brilliance, constantly absorbing the cold qi below.

Not far from the high platform, an old man in white with crane hair and a childish face, his eyes have been staring at this bead, and a satisfied smile has appeared on his face.

Suddenly, the old man sensed something, looked to the side, and another energetic old man in white flew from a distance.

"Patriarch. The old man with a childish face said respectfully.

"Elder Yin, what is the current condition of the eggs?" the old man asked directly as soon as he came.

"As I had predicted a year ago, I have almost regained my vitality, and I think we will be able to remove this platform on the night of the next full moon. Elder Yin said.

"That's good. The old man paused, and said slowly: "The boy of Tianying is also back, I want to put him on the shortlist, what do you think?"

"That kid in Celestial Shadow has excellent qualifications and deserves to be on the shortlist, but that kid is quite prejudiced against us, and I'm afraid that he may not accept our kindness. Elder Yin sighed.

"It's good to solve the misunderstanding, just see if you are willing?" said the old man again.

"This matter can be concealed for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime, and as juniors, they will know sooner or later, for the sake of the prosperous future of our clan, why not say it early. Elder Yin said.
