After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 423 The Secret of the Spirit Realm

The sky outside Qingling Creek was completely shrouded in night.

Suddenly, a crystal radiating brilliant light appeared out of thin air, above Shen Xu's sleeping body, and then transformed into a stream of light that flowed directly into his forehead.

Shen Xu opened his eyes, and the silvery moonlight shone into the room, blurring the familiar wooden rooftop before his eyes.

Sitting up and rubbing his head with his fingers, Shen Xu couldn't help but marvel at the immense gains he had made at the Feather Clan Temple.

His Qi Sea underwent a transformation and gained a powerful divine ability.

and also……

Shen Xu stretched out his hand, and a shimmering, irregularly shaped crystal appeared in his palm, dispelling the darkness in the room.

"The shadowy figure said that one cannot enter the Spirit Realm without awakening one's divine sense, and then said that this crystal would allow me to enter the Spirit Realm without relying on the Feather Clan Holy Temple. Should we give it a try?"

But he quickly dismissed the idea. With his strength, even if he entered the Spirit Realm, he would only get beaten up. He might even encounter some unknown risks, so it was better not to try using crystals lightly.

Shen Xu channeled his vital energy into his eyes and activated his Spirit Eyes to look at the crystal, but he couldn't detect any change in the crystal.

Hearing hurried footsteps outside, Shen Xu immediately grasped the crystal. The crystal instantly merged into his body and floated slowly above the gray mist of his soul. Its radiance illuminated his soul, making him feel exceptionally comfortable.

But when the crystalline light shone into the void in his soul, the void swallowed the light without hesitation, a sight that made Shen Xu's face turn bitter.

"crunch~"

Shen Xu looked outside the door, and Bai Lu and Guan Bi's figures appeared clearly in front of him.

Only then did he suddenly realize why he could see clearly in the dark even though he hadn't activated his Spirit Eyes.

"Why are you back so soon? Doesn't it take a long time to receive the inheritance?" Bai Lu asked, puzzled.

“It was Jiaojiao and Xiaoru who received the inheritance, not me. I was just an extra, but I still gained some benefits from it.”

"It seems your eyes have also benefited from this." Guan Bi looked at Shen Xu's golden-red pupils under the moonlight, and the fluctuations emanating from them made her heart flutter.

"Golden red?" Shen Xu conjured a water mirror and indeed saw a pair of golden red eyes in it.

It seems that the glow emanating from the statue inside the temple completely altered the structure of his eyes.

"Is Xiao Ru alright?" Bai Lu asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ruo will definitely be healthier than ever after she comes back," Shen Xu replied with a smile. There was no need to tell them about the demon race.

"Xiao Yi, now that you're here, don't just hide to the side," he said with a hint of helplessness.

He discovered that Li Xiaoyi seemed to enjoy eavesdropping on his conversations with others lately, especially after Yun Yao was able to conceal her figure.

"The eyes you've acquired are extraordinary." Li Xiaoyi's graceful figure appeared not far from his wooden house.

Upon seeing Li Xiaoyi's figure, Bai Lu clenched her fists.

She realized that she was falling further and further behind Li Xiaoyi. Now she couldn't even detect Li Xiaoyi hiding right next to her. If this continued, how could she compete with Li Xiaoyi?

"It's alright, but how did you all know I was back?"

"Miss has actually been keeping an eye on what's going on here. She saw a light flashing in your room and was worried that something might have happened to you, so she came to check on you," Guan Bi explained.

Shen Xu then realized that Bai Lu's attic offered a view of his little wooden house.

Bai Lu's concern for him touched him somewhat. In fact, he hadn't helped Bai Lu in any way; it was Bai Lu who had been helping him selflessly all along.

"Bai Lu, thank you!" Shen Xu sincerely thanked Bai Lu.

"Actually..." Bai Lu was about to say something when Guan Bi interrupted her, "Shen Xu, can you tell me what's in the Feather Clan's Holy Temple?"

Upon hearing Guan Bi's question, Li Xiaoyi's eyes flickered. Yun Yao said that Shen Xu was unable to enter the Holy Temple.

But judging from Shen Xu's behavior, he did enter the Feather Clan Temple. What exactly happened in between?

"I was actually sent directly into the Feather Clan Temple, so I didn't see what the outside looked like, but from what I saw, the inside of the temple was a place for storing inheritances."

A grand hall houses the legacy of a saint, and the interior decorations of the hall change according to the saint's style.

However, there is one point worth noting: the temples of each race have another very important function, which is…

Shen Xu suddenly fell silent. Although he had a very clear logic in his mind, he just couldn't put it into words.

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to say." He knew this might not be his problem, but rather the problem of the Spirit Realm. It seemed the Spirit Realm didn't want him to reveal its existence.

Hearing this, Bai Lu said with great disappointment, "What is this! Just like Aunt Lan, vague and mysterious."

"One day I will go to the temple and see what you're hiding!"

"Actually, it's not that I'm deliberately hiding it, but I can't say it. However, if you can enter the Human Race Temple, you might be able to find out the reason behind it."

He only learned about the secrets of the Spirit Realm because of the shadow. He wondered if the temples of the various races would tell the chosen ones about these things. He could ask Jiaojiao when she returned.

As if knowing what Shen Xu was thinking, Li Xiaoyi asked, "Who is this Jiaojiao you mentioned earlier?"

"That's the new name Qiling Baihe. It was probably given to her by her elders. Once she comes back, you shouldn't call her Qiling Baihe anymore, or she might turn against you."

“The bright moon in the clouds is a good name,” Li Xiaoyi pondered.

Shen Xu had to admire Li Xiaoyi; she could guess which two words it was right away and be so certain about it.

"Jiaojiao~, it really sounds much better than Xiaobai." Bailu couldn't help but sigh.

“You gave her a name that sounds like a spirit pet, of course she’ll be unhappy. She and I are friends, not master and servant.”

"Why didn't you remind me sooner!" Bai Lu immediately questioned.

"I only realized this later. Even Guanbi couldn't persuade you, so how could I dare to?"

"In the end, wasn't it me who reminded you that Qiling Baihe didn't like the name you gave her?" Shen Xu explained, frowning.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that." Seeing Shen Xu's impatient expression, Bai Lu immediately realized that she must have said something wrong.

Upon hearing Bai Lu's apology, the three of them looked at her in surprise, as they had not expected her to apologize on her own initiative.

"Bai Lu, I'm not used to you being like this." Shen Xu said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Do you only feel happy when I give you a hard time?" Bai Lu pouted.

"No, but it doesn't feel like you anymore."

I'm very happy that you took the initiative to apologize to me, but I hope that you're not apologizing simply because I'm unhappy, but because you genuinely felt that you said or did something wrong.

"I make mistakes too, and I offend you too. We are equals, and you don't need to please anyone." Shen Xu said earnestly, looking into Bai Lu's eyes.

Bai Lu stared blankly at Shen Xu, her gaze gradually softening.

A smile appeared on Guan Bi's lips; the man she had her eye on was still as charming as ever.

Li Xiaoyi sighed softly. What method could she use to stop this man from completely shutting up his mouth, which could so easily enter a girl's heart?
