The light bead, after speeding forward, soon disappeared.
In fact, it didn't disappear, but was merely swimming in the Misty Sea.
Although Fu Ruhai and Bai Suxiang didn't know what was happening, Liu Sandao's light bead did.
It was merely playing in the Misty Sea.
Born from the essence of living water stones and the heavens and earth, the Misty Sea was like its home.
This long-lost wanderer, upon returning home, naturally darted about excitedly.
However, what it missed most was the living water stone, a motherly presence.
In just a moment, the light bead flew to the living water stone.
As if seeing its own child, the living water stone instantly burst into light upon contact, enveloping it tightly.
Water continuously gushed out from the surroundings, as if bathing it.
Washing away the dirt from the journey, washing away the worries of the mortal world!
After a while, a naked infant emerged from the water.
The infant swam and played in the water, ceaselessly.
Slowly, it gradually grew larger, eventually becoming a handsome youth.
Bubbles continuously rose from below, gently caressing the youth's body. He lay on the living water stone and fell asleep.
Bai Suxiang darted back and forth through the sea of flowers, searching for something as she ran.
Suddenly, a figure appeared amidst the blossoms.
It was a man's back. She felt it was very familiar, and as she slowly approached, she recognized him.
"Liu Sandao! Is that you?"
The man didn't turn around, remaining motionless.
"Liu Sandao! Liu Sandao!"
Bai Suxiang shouted. Seeing that he ignored her, she became a little angry and reached out to grab him and turn him around.
But suddenly, everything vanished. Bai Suxiang was startled.
She immediately retreated from the sea of flowers.
She stood on the beach, with no flowers around.
Not far away was a rock, and a person lay on it.
Bai Suxiang walked over slowly.
"Liu Sandao, Liu Sandao, wake up, wake up!"
Seeing that the person on the rock was Liu Sandao, Bai Suxiang was overjoyed.
Afraid she was dreaming, she quickly stepped forward and nudged him.
"Ouch!"
The push made Liu Sandao slowly wake up.
He felt soreness all over his body, as if he was extremely tired, and couldn't help but groan, "Ouch!"
"You've resurrected, you've really resurrected?"
Bai Suxiang said happily.
Liu Sandao didn't speak, but smiled.
"That's wonderful, that's truly wonderful!"
Bai Suxiang spoke incoherently.
"Oh, right. What about Fu Ruhai? I wonder where he's gone!"
To ease the awkwardness, Bai Suxiang asked further.
"There!"
Liu Sandao said, pointing not far away.
A person could be seen standing in the seawater, eyes closed, concentrating.
Fu Ruhai was currently fully focused on sensing the vital energy of the Misty Sea.
It was greatly beneficial for his cultivation.
"Come! Have a drink!"
Liu Sandao suddenly produced a cup of water and handed it to Bai Suxiang.
Although she felt she had been busy traveling during this time, Bai Suxiang surprisingly didn't feel hungry.
She took the water and took a sip. It was incredibly sweet.
"How are you feeling?"
Bai Suxiang asked with concern, as his body should be very weak after just recovering.
"Very good!"
Liu Sandao said dismissively, as if he had never experienced life and death.
Fu Ruhai's true qi circulated through his entire body for forty-nine cycles, clearing all blocked critical points.
Only then did he emerge from his meditative state.
Strangely, he didn't feel himself walking to the shore, but when he opened his eyes, he was already standing on the coast.
"Liu Sandao, you're finally back! You had us worried the whole way!"
Fu Ruhai exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Liu Sandao sitting intact on the rock.
"Yes, thank you for risking your lives to save me!"
Liu Sandao replied.
The surrounding waves gently lapped at the shore, the sea breeze blew softly, and the atmosphere was particularly peaceful.
Apart from the beach they were on, the surroundings were endless seawater.
"With so much water, how can we leave here?"
Bai Suxiang asked, breaking the ethereal atmosphere.
Mortals are still mortals, and they wouldn't be able to remain patient even in divine realms or celestial realms.
She still had concerns, and hadn't decided to stay there forever.
"Hahaha, everyone longs to be an immortal. Yet you, upon reaching the celestial realm, forget about the mortal world?"
Fu Ruhai said to Bai Suxiang with a laugh.
Bai Suxiang smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said, "Don't we still have tasks at the company? We don't know how long we've been delayed this time. It doesn't feel like time passes here, and we have no concept of time!"
"A day in the mountains is a hundred years in the mortal world!" Fu Ruhai said casually.
"Ah! This?"
Bai Suxiang was astonished.
If a day was spent here, she might not even see her parents one last time upon returning.
"Well, let's go! After settling our worldly affairs, we'll return to enjoy this beauty!"
Liu Sandao said, standing up.
"Alright then, that's settled. I'll come back here to cultivate too!"
Fu Ruhai quickly added, leaving himself an option.
This Misty Sea was a great place for cultivation. Bai Suxiang, being a mortal, didn't understand its benefits at all.
"Okay!"
"But how do we get out of such deep water?"
Bai Suxiang asked, puzzled.
Flying out would probably take half a day.
According to Fu Ruhai, decades would have passed in the mortal world. That was too terrifying!
"You don't need to worry about this. Don't we have Liu Sandao? Right?"
Fu Ruhai comforted her, glancing at Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao nodded and waved his sleeve.
Instantly, a giant bubble of water enveloped the three of them.
The bubble quickly merged into the Misty Sea, drifting about like a playful child.
From the beach, the sea looked blue, but underwater, it was black.
It held no color that would make one linger, but rather felt somewhat oppressive.
"Why are there no living creatures in the Misty Sea?"
"Who said there aren't? But the ones here are divine beasts and monsters that humans have never seen!"
"Really? It would be great to see them!"
...
Bai Suxiang chatted with Fu Ruhai, while Liu Sandao remained silent, not interjecting or answering any of their questions.
Because he was carrying them, Liu Sandao couldn't reach their destination at will, so it took some effort.
They had to go to Red Island first to check the situation there, and then report back to the company to complete their tasks.
Fu Ruhai's words, though spoken in jest, were not entirely without truth.
The time he spent reviving was not long in the celestial realm, but in the mortal world, he had no idea how much time had passed.
He activated his magic, trying to speed up.
The location chosen to descend into the mortal realm was Red Island in Shamen Town.
Although the place where they emerged from the water was extremely concealed, upon landing, they discovered that there were still many people around.
