The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2563 Years

While flying, Matthew began to use secret techniques to sense the location of Xingyan and the others.

This secret technique can rely on the subtle fluctuations of spiritual power to sense the traces of one's own people. After all, Matthew has left marks in their bodies.

Although precise positioning is not possible, the general direction can be perceived.

As the secret technique was performed, a faint fluctuation of breath gradually became clearer. Matthew felt that the breath of Xing Yan and others was staying in one place and not moving.

At this moment, his flying speed was nearly twice as fast as before.

In the air, his figure was like a straight ray of light, passing by at an astonishing speed, leaving only a series of blurry afterimages.

The figure shuttled between the vast sky and earth, causing gusts of cyclones.

The cyclone roared like an nimble dragon, circling and dancing beside him, as if it was opening an exclusive passage for him.

The surrounding air was stirred by the extremely fast airflow, making a sharp whistling sound.

But Matthew did not use his full strength to fly at this moment.

He knew that he was still restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, and using too much magic power would still consume his lifespan.

Matthew didn't need to do anything that would consume his lifespan just to get on the road.

As the distance between us increased, the surrounding scenery also changed. The barren land was gradually replaced by green vegetation.

First there were dots of tender green, and then it gradually spread out to form patches of lush green grass.

The clear stream gurgles through the valley, and the water hits the rocks, making a pleasant sound.

The clear stream is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding green trees and mountains.

After flying for nearly five hours, a small city appeared in front of Matthew.

Looking down from the air, although the city is not large in scale, it has an ancient and tranquil atmosphere.

The city walls were brand new and the gates were wide open, but there was no tense atmosphere at all.

"Even the city defense formation is not activated. Could it be that the demons have disappeared?"

After Matthew scanned the situation in the city with his spiritual sense, a look of doubt appeared on his face and he whispered something in a low voice.

Then, Matthew no longer hesitated and flew directly into the city.

He did not hide his arrival, and many people saw Matthew flying into the city from the air.

However, no one in the city dared to question him.

After all, only high-level monks dare to act like this.

In this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, strength is the greatest voice. Ordinary people can only stand in awe and obey high-level cultivators.

Before landing, Matthew had already informed Xingyan and the others of his arrival through secret techniques.

So when Matthew landed in a relatively open area in the city, Xingyan and the others were already waiting for him outside a courtyard not far away.

"Meet the master!"

When Matthew landed, Xingyan led everyone to bow.

Their voices were in unison and loud, and their eyes were full of reverence and joy.

Xing Yan stood in front of everyone, her posture upright, her eyes filled with determination and loyalty.

Yue Ru lowered her head slightly, clasped her hands in front of her, her face filled with excitement.

"No need to be polite, just get up."

As Matthew spoke, he flicked his palm gently, and an invisible force blew like a spring breeze, lifting everyone up.

Then, everyone welcomed Matthew into the yard.

Arriving in the main hall, Matthew naturally sat in the main seat.

The main seat was made of a piece of rosewood that exuded a warm luster, and the back of the chair was carved with exquisite auspicious cloud patterns.

Under the warm yellow light in the hall, it glows with a simple and elegant light.

Matthew's movements were calm and confident, and his every move exuded an indescribable aura.

He raised his head slightly and glanced at everyone calmly, his eyes revealing a kind of indifference and calmness.

Everyone took their seats one by one, and the main hall suddenly became quiet.

In the silent atmosphere, there was only the slight rustling of clothes and the occasional sound of breathing.

At this moment, Xingyan and Yueru looked at Matthew with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

The two of them have been with Matthew for the longest time and have witnessed him grow into the strong man he is today.

Because of this, they know some secrets about Matthew and know that there is a powerful power hidden in him that is unknown to others.

However, after Matthew came back this time, they felt that the aura around him was obviously different from before.

It’s not that Matthew’s aura has become stronger, on the contrary, Matthew’s aura is now extremely restrained, like a bottomless pool, calm and mysterious.

Sitting in front of them, if he was distracted for even a moment except by looking at them with his eyes, he would immediately lose Matthew's sense.

The two of them also guessed that Matthew must have gained a lot during the time he was away.

"How long have I been gone?"

After Matthew sat down, he spoke slowly, and the first question made everyone slightly stunned.

This question may seem simple, but it is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples in everyone's hearts.

This question not only reflects Matthew's vague concept of time, but also makes them curious about what Matthew has done in the past ten years.

Xing Yan reacted the fastest and said immediately: "It has been ten years since the master left. During this time, except for going out to gather some information, we have been staying here waiting for the master to come back. This place is called Bailing City, and it was established by casual cultivators a few years ago." Xing Yan said calmly.

After listening to Xingyan's explanation, Matthew nodded as usual.

But deep down in his heart he was secretly surprised. He originally thought that it would take at most a dozen days for him to enter the space crack and come out, but he didn't expect that ten years had passed.

To him, these ten years seemed like just a moment.

In that mysterious space crack, time seemed to have lost its meaning to him.

These ten years were just a blink of an eye for him.

Matthew glanced at everyone, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"What has been the situation of the God-Slaying Temple and the Demon Clan over the past ten years?" Matthew asked

Xing Yan bowed slightly and began to narrate slowly: "In the past ten years, we have often gone out to investigate. Just as we saw on the battlefield before, Tongtian Peak has completely disappeared. And the monsters that were originally entrenched near Tongtian Peak also disappeared along with it."

There was a hint of emotion in Xing Yan's voice. The existence of Tongtian Peak was a major symbol of the human world.

But it was forcibly transferred to the battlefield and destroyed.

This is what they saw with their own eyes.

However, only they knew about this.

It is impossible for other people to know how Tongtian Peak disappeared, and rumors about how Tongtian Peak disappeared continue to appear in the human world.

However, those were just speculations. Apart from Matthew and his friends, it was impossible for anyone else to know the whole story.

And Xingyan and the others would not say anything more about this matter.
