As they strolled around their sect, the disciples kept paying attention to Ling Yun and Mu Lingxue, who were talking and laughing together. Some of them felt jealous of their closeness, but not a single one of them dared to disturb them.
Even the core disciples of the Lotus Sect did not intend to disturb them, especially after they saw Mu Lingxue's expression, so they only watched them from a distance.
Han Xian suddenly asked them. "Have you guys ever seen Sister Lingxue smile that happily?"
Su Ling shook her head. "Although Sister Lingxue is very gentle, she is also very cold. However, Ling Yun seems to have melted her heart, so she is like that now."
Sun Xinxin nodded repeatedly. "Ever since she found out that Ling Yun had kissed her, Sister Lingxue has had a hard time concentrating on her cultivation, and I noticed that she often daydreams alone."
"That's true." Xue Ying also agreed with that. "Lately, Sister Lingxue often lost her concentration when sparring with me, so I was able to beat her easily."
Qiao Yan suddenly said to them. "If I take a good look at them, Ling Yun and Sister Lingxue look good together, and I hope they really can become a couple in the future."
"You guys better stop gossiping and get back to training." Yu Mei said to them as she shook her head, but she also admitted that Ling Yun and Mu Lingxue did look good together.
Hearing that, they turned to Yu Mei with pursed lips, for she was too serious in her cultivation and practice. "Anyway, our numbers are dwindling now, especially since Sister Tang has become his woman, and Sister Nalan is in his hands now. At this rate, it will be more and more difficult for us to compete with other sects."
They sighed after hearing Su Ling's words, but Xue Xing suddenly appeared in front of them, and she passed the pills Ling Yun gave them. "These pills were given by him, so you guys can return to your cultivation caves to swallow them, and they will help strengthen your foundations. However, you guys can't swallow the Soul Nourishing Pill for now, and all of you have to wait for your cultivation to break through to the Soul Realm to swallow it."
Upon hearing that, they immediately dashed toward their cultivation caves, for they really couldn't wait to swallow them up, causing Xue Xing and Yu Mei to shake their heads at their antics.
"You too, Yu Mei." Xue Xing said to her. "After you swallow them, you will definitely feel a tremendous change in your cultivation foundation, and you will definitely become stronger in the future."
"Yes, Sect Master." Yu Mei answered and immediately left.
Xue Xing then looked at Ling Yun and Mu Lingxue. "Apparently, that little girl has fallen for him, but it's really good for her, especially since she doesn't have a family anymore."

"I really like seeing your smile, Lingxue." Ling Yun suddenly said to her.
Mu Lingxue blushed hearing that, but she also liked his compliment. "You are a sweet talker, you know? No wonder you have so many wives; even Sect Master Lian is also willing to be your wife."
"Haha. Is that so?" Ling Yun asked as he laughed, and Mu Lingxue nodded to him. "Honestly, my relationship with Lian Bing isn't as smooth as you think, and she previously found it difficult to accept me. However, after we spent such a long time together, she finally agreed to accept me as het husband."
"How could that be?" Mu Lingxue asked in confusion. "As I recall, you've only known her for a few months, right?"
Ling Yun nodded to her. "However, I have a special place where the flow of time is very long, and we have lived there for a long time."
"Do you really own such a place?" Mu Lingxue asked in disbelief.
Ling Yun smiled and answered her. "In fact, that place isn't a real place, but it is a dreamland."
"A dreamland?" Mu Lingxue asked in confusion.
"En." Ling Yun nodded to her. "That place is truly a dreamland, and I can bring everyone's subconscious into it, but no one can use their cultivation there except for me."
Mu Lingxue was stunned for a moment before she took a deep breath and asked him again. "Isn't that place useless for anyone but you?"
"Not really." Ling Yun shook his head at her. "Even if you can't use your cultivation, you can still train in it, such as by practicing your sword technique. Besides, the flow of time in there will greatly help you to understand your other techniques, especially since your experiences in that place will be permanently recorded in your mind."
"Are you always training in there?" Mu Lingxue curiously asked, especially since Ling Yun was much stronger than her now.
"Yes." Ling Yun replied with a nod. "I left one of my clones to train in there, and he's been training for a very long time."
Hearing that, Mu Lingxue fell into deep thought and thought about Ling Yun's words. Soon, she looked up and asked him. "Can you take me to that place?"
"Do you really want to go there?" Ling Yun asked back as he smiled.
Mu Lingxue nodded to him. "I want to fully master my snowwoman technique, but I have trouble understanding some parts of it, so I want to take advantage of the difference in the flow of time in that place to understand everything."
"All right." Ling Yun replied as he used the Dream Creation Technique on Mu Lingxue. "However, before I take you there, it would be better if we go to your room first."
Mu Lingxue's face turned red again upon hearing that, but she nodded at him. "Let's go to my room now."
.
.

Sometime later, they had arrived at Mu Lingxue's room, and Ling Yun asked her to lie down on her ice bed before he activated his technique.
"Huh?" Mu Lingxue was instantly shocked when they got inside, especially since there was nothing in that place.
*Snap*
Ling Yun immediately snapped his finger, which caused the place to turn into a field of snow, and a sizeable ice cave appeared not far from them.
Mu Lingxue was dumbfounded at that, but she then turned to Ling Yun with a smile. "Are you doing this on purpose?"
"After all, you were used to training in a cold place, right?" Ling Yun replied as he winked at her.
"Hehe." Mu Lingxue giggled at that, and she was delighted by Ling Yun's consideration for her.
Ling Yun directly brought her to land in front of the ice cave, and he said to her. "I've made the flow of time in this place very long, so you can start comprehending your techniques without worrying about the time that will pass."
"Can you accompany me?" Mu Lingxue asked with a red face.
"Sure." Ling Yun nodded without hesitation. "I will accompany you while practicing my new techniques."
"Thank you." After that, Mu Lingxue immediately sat cross-legged on the snow, and she began to focus on comprehending her technique.
On the other hand, since he had mastered all of his previous techniques, Ling Yun decided to look for new techniques in the system shop, especially since he was going to a higher realm soon and needed stronger techniques.
[You have successfully purchased the Five Elements Secret Art x1! 10,000,000 Lower Profound Stones have already been deducted from your account.]
[You have successfully purchased the Nine Underworld Gates Technique x1! 50,000,000 Lower Profound Stones have already been deducted from your account.]
After Ling Yun read the descriptions of the two techniques, he immediately focused on learning them first. The Five Elements Secret Art was an advanced technique of the Beast King Fist Technique, which would increase the attack power of the five beasts by several folds.
As for the Nine Underworld Gates Technique, it originates from a heretical sect in the Upper Realm, and only possessors of Dark Qi can use it. Even so, Ling Yun still wanted to learn it, for he felt that it would be useful to him in higher realms, especially when he faced evil cultivators in the future.
Using the technique, Ling Yun could summon several different types of dark creatures, such as wraiths and other creatures with different abilities.

Meanwhile, Lian Bing was sitting opposite Bing Xue, who was swallowing pills from Ling Yun, and a faint smile graced her pretty face.
After a while, Bing Xue opened her eyes and asked her disciple. "Why are you staring at me in such a manner, Bing'er?"
"Master, you still remember that Yun'er will take us to a higher realm, right?" Bing Xue nodded to her, and Lian Bing immediately conveyed her wishes. "Master, you're like my own mother, so I hope you'll be willing to go with us later."
Bing Xue raised her eyebrows after she heard that. She didn't want to part with Lian Bing, but she also found it hard to leave the Lotus Sect, especially since she had lived in the sect since she was very young.
Seeing her expression like that, Lian Bing took Bing Xue's hand and spoke again. "I know you're worried about the future of this sect, but you've been guarding this sect for so long, and I think it's time for you to think about your future."
"What do you mean by that?" Bing Xue asked with a frown.
