A moment later, Ling Yun appeared in a dense forest outside the hotel.
With a thought, he summoned the Divine Ghost Willow.
The Mystic Sea Cave above the Divine Ghost Willow silently opened a door just big enough for two people to pass through.
Ling Yun flew through the door with Ye Xingchen in his arms and entered the Small World.
Everything inside the Mystic Sea Cave was normal, except that it was too quiet.
The only change was that the space inside the Small World had grown a little bigger.
It was hard to tell, but after Ling Yun confirmed that the Mystic Sea Cave was a Small World that could grow, he deliberately made some obvious marks at the borders of the Small World. In just a day, the space outside those marks had increased by nearly a meter.
Ling Yun was shocked.
The Small World's growth rate was astonishing.
Because the shape of the Mysterious Sea Grotto-Heaven was not very regular, with each boundary expanding by one meter, the space inside was actually expanding at a geometrical speed.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the Mystic Sea Cave doubled in size!
As for the reason, Ling Yun had repeatedly discussed it with Yin Qingxuan and the others, and the conclusion was the same. It was because of the Divine Ghost Willow he had unintentionally placed in the courtyard of the Ling Family's ancestral home.
This was truly an unintentional willow.
Perhaps the enormous spiritual energy released by the Divine Ghost Willow had broken the long-standing balance of the Mystic Sea Cave.
Or more likely, after the Divine Ghost Willow took root in the Mystic Sea Cave, it was using its spatial ability to grow the Small World.
Now, under Ling Yun's instructions, the Divine Ghost Willow had completely taken over, or rather controlled, the Small World.
In other words, the Divine Ghost Willow could open and close the Small World with just a thought from Ling Yun.
After entering the Small World, Ling Yun found that the giant Divine Ghost Willow was indeed in the Small World, in the third courtyard of the Ling Family's ancestral home. It was absolutely there.
At this point, Ling Yun was completely sure.
The Divine Ghost Willow and the Small World of the Mystic Sea Cave had merged into one.
The art of spatial manipulation was truly mysterious.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen arrived at the valley and the bamboo house where Ye Xingchen lived.
"Is it okay for you to be here alone?"
Ling Yun asked gently as he helped Ye Xingchen to the bedside. He was very worried.
That day, aside from lunch and dinner time, Ye Xingchen slept the rest of the time. It could be said that she had slept the entire day, but even so, not long after dinner, she became extremely tired again.
Therefore, Ling Yun didn't let her stay in the Ling Family. Instead, he kept her by his side to take care of her.
However, with Ling Yun's current cultivation realm, no matter how he examined Ye Xingchen, other than falling into a deep slumber from time to time, everything was normal. There was nothing wrong with his body.
On the other hand, her cultivation base was advancing at lightning speed. She could break through to the Foundation Building realm at any time.
Ye Xingchen forced himself to stay awake and chuckled, "I grew up here since I was a child. Of course there's no problem."
"Also, Ling Yun, you really don't have to worry about my body. Just go and do your things."
Ling Yun frowned. "Tell me the truth. Is there really no problem?"
"There's really no problem. Don't worry."
Ye Xingchen sensed Ling Yun's worry and smiled sweetly in confirmation.
"You're about to break through to the Foundation Building realm, right?"
Ling Yun asked suddenly. At the same time, his divine consciousness focused on the peak of Xingchen Mountain next to him. He carefully examined every corner of the mountain as if he were examining it with a magnifying glass.
However, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Ye Xingchen tilted her head, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her beautiful eyes stared at Ling Yun's profile and blinked.
"It should be in the next few days. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just let nature take its course."
"Then rest well here. If you wake up and want to go out, just tell the Ghost Divine Willow to open the door."
Ling Yun hid his worry and reminded Ye Xingchen with a smile. At the same time, he turned his head and asked, "Is there a problem?"
This question was naturally directed at the Ghost Divine Willow's tree spirit.
"Don't worry, Master."
The Ghost Divine Willow had grown quite a bit again. The tree spirit could already communicate with Ling Yun normally.
"I'll come in to accompany you every once in a while. If you're about to break through, you must let the Ghost Divine Willow know. I'll come in to protect you."
"Got it …"
Ling Yun nodded and helped Ye Xingchen lie down. Then, he carefully covered her with a thin blanket and waited for her to fall into a deep sleep before flying out of the bamboo house.
"Whoosh!"
Shifting Shadows!
In the next moment, Ling Yun had already arrived at the peak of Xingchen Mountain.
"Appear here."
"Undergo the tribulation here."
"Black tribulation lightning."
"Black hole, vanishing figure …"
Ling Yun murmured to himself, his mind racing as he pondered. His mother, Yin Qingxuan, had told him about Ye Xingchen's situation.
This was actually unthinkable.
Although Ling Yun pretended to be nonchalant when he heard it, it didn't mean that he didn't have any thoughts or speculations.
"Xiao Liu, now that you've gained control of this small world, tell me, is this place where I'm standing now, or rather, this Xuanhai Grotto-Heaven, connected to another space?"
After thinking for a long time, Ling Yun was too lazy to guess and asked directly. After all, the real boss of this space wasn't him but his own Ghost Divine Willow.
The Ghost Divine Willow was silent.
"Say it!" Ling Yun was a little annoyed.
"Master, the spatial wall around your position is indeed a little abnormal. It's very thin, and it's not connected to Earth."
"Where is it? Don't hide it, just say it."
"It's a spatial passageway, but it's closed now."
"Mm."
Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction because the Ghost Divine Willow's answer was in line with his conjecture. He asked again, "Legend has it that your true body is the Xuanhuang Ghost Divine Willow. When you truly grow up, your roots will reach the nine heavens and ten earths, right?"
"Master is right, but I'm just a seedling now. That day is still very far away …"
"Where did the Ling Family come from? What kind of place is the Dragon Emperor Palace? Where is it?"
This question had nothing to do with Ye Xingchen. Ling Yun's sudden question meant that he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"I only remember that it's in the faraway depths of the universe, or rather … another world … Master, I'm just a seedling. There are too many things that I really can't remember."
"Is it Kunlun?"
"Definitely not."
Ling Yun: "…"
He didn't harp on this question anymore. The Ghost Divine Willow definitely wouldn't lie to him. At least compared to the huge Ghost Divine Willow in Kunlun, the two in his hands were indeed seedlings.
Just like a baby that had just come out of its mother's womb.
What it knew, what it said, and what it did were all instincts.
"Then can you extend your roots into that spatial passageway and investigate?"
Ling Yun immediately made a new request.
"Master, I'm still just a seedling …"
"You don't dare?" Ling Yun goaded.
"Master, I've already tried. My roots are still too weak and can't penetrate it at all …"
"Alright."
Ling Yun could only nod helplessly. Then, he asked a very serious question, "Then with your current strength, can you protect Xingchen? Hmm … Not just her safety, but also not letting her disappear? "
"Master, I'll do my best."
"I'm not asking you to do your best. It's a must, a must, and a certainty!"
"Master, I'm still just a seedling …"
Here it goes again.
Just as Ling Yun was about to fly over and chop off a few branches of the Divine Ghost Willow to use as firewood, he heard it say in a panic, "But don't worry, Master. That space passage is extremely dangerous. Only those above the Void Interpretation Realm can enter. I think Miss Ye wouldn't disappear into thin air like you said before she reached the Void Interpretation Realm, right?"
"Hmph, I hope so."
Ling Yun got a somewhat satisfactory answer. Then, with a hint of threat in his words, he said, "Little willow, let's put it bluntly first. If Xingchen disappears without a sound, I'll immediately turn you into a pile of firewood."
A threat, a blatant threat!
In the distance, in the "replica of the Ling Family's ancestral home".
All the branches of the Ghost Divine Willow stood upright. Thousands of willow tips pierced into the night sky, as if they were bristling with anger.
In the small world, spiritual energy and life essence surged in an instant.
Ling Yun sneered, "Why? Still angry? "
Boom!
Thousands of willow branches drooped down again. In an instant, everything returned to normal.
Just like a deflated balloon.
The Ghost Divine Willow said with grievance, "Master, I'm really just a seedling …"
Whoosh!
Ling Yun's figure disappeared from the top of the mountain. In an instant, he came to the Ghost Divine Willow and sat on its largest branch.
He raised his hand and patted the branch. "Don't get too excited. I was just joking with you."
"Just try your best."
"I'll help you grow as soon as possible. I'm leaving."
After saying that, Ling Yun flew away and left the Mysterious Sea Cave.
After Ling Yun left.
Whoosh!
From the thick trunk of the Ghost Divine Willow, a little man squeezed out. He was only one foot tall, white and chubby. On his head, there was a miniature version of the Ghost Divine Willow that was more than an inch tall.
It was the tree spirit formed by the Ghost Divine Willow.
First, he glanced around stealthily, then he flew around the tree at an amazing speed. His flying range became larger and larger until he covered the entire Mysterious Sea Cave.
He was extremely happy.
In the end, the flying speed of the little tree spirit slowed down. With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly above the Mysterious Sea Lake as if he was patrolling his territory.
King.
