Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Behind the stone stele, there is an explanation of the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array.

After reading the inscription, Ye Lingyue pondered thoughtfully.

"The Chaos Heaven and Earth Array is a strange array left behind by Cultivators of Ancient Times when they cultivated. Only Martial Artists who have reached the Reincarnation Realm or Alchemists who have attained the Nine Rank can activate the Heaven and Earth Array. After entering the Heaven and Earth Array, one must pass through at least the First Layer Heaven and Earth Tribulation in order to leave Cave Number One."

The six Heaven and Earth Tribulations, at first glance, seem somewhat similar to the Reincarnation Tribulation, but unlike the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth tribulations of the Reincarnation Tribulation, the Heaven and Earth Tribulation requires one to pass through trials.

Within the Chaos Heaven and Earth Array, there are six Heaven and Earth Tribulations hidden, consisting of thirty-six layers of the Heavenly Gang Palace and seventy-two layers of the Earth Evil Prison.

To break through the first Heaven and Earth Tribulation, one needs to at least pass through the first twenty-four layers of the seventy-two layers of the Earth Evil Prison.

Inside the Earth Evil Prison, there are millions of Earth Evil Souls, and to pass each layer, one must defeat the Evil Soul Monarch of that layer.

Ye Lingyue sighed, taking out the Time Hourglass she kept close, which she had been using to keep track of time during this period.

Along with the Time Hourglass, she also took out a Phoenix Token and two vials of medicine.

When she saw the Phoenix Token, Ye Lingyue noticed a small patch of blood-red color, recalling that it must have come from Feng Xun's blood when he was injured earlier and she inadvertently touched his blood while treating him.

Having cleaned the bloodstain from the Phoenix Token, Ye Lingyue sighed.

She is now trapped in Cave Number One, not knowing which year or month she will be able to leave.

In another two months, it will be the Daxia Imperial Competition... No, she must, within these two months, break through the Reincarnation Realm, pass through the First Layer Heaven and Earth Tribulation, and return to Daxia.

Ye Lingyue made up her mind and looked at the two vials.

Contained within these two vials were the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir and the Five-Colored Reincarnation Elixir.

Ye Lingyue's current cultivation level was still in the Elixir Realm; if she wanted to break through in a short time, Elixir Pills were undoubtedly the only shortcut.

As Ye Lingyue was deliberating on which Elixir Pill to swallow, in Cave No.2, the Jade Engraving Array that had been missing for many days finally appeared.

A long month passed, and when Xingxiu Cave opened again, only a small number of people made it back alive.

When Feng Xun, looking haggard, was helped out of the Xingxiu Cave by Sword Slave, Xue Pianran was in a state of shock.

"Xun, how have you become like this? Who, who hurt you?" Xue Pianran supported Feng Xun, anxiously checking his wounds.

Beside them, Cong Lv, equally seriously injured, pressed against his wound and looked at Xue Pianran; the wound did not hurt, but his heart ached bit by bit.

"Let go." Feng Xun's voice was ice-cold and piercing, a tone Xue Pianran had never heard before.

She was taken aback, her grip not loosening but rather tightening even more.

This time, she would not let go; Feng Xun was hers.

The woman who had stood between her and Feng Xun, had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Feng Xun emerge alone from Xingxiu Cave, a smug delight grew inside Xue Pianran's heart, knowing that those who didn't make it out of Xingxiu Cave were all dead.

A sharp pain in her wrist as Xue Pianran's fingers were pried open one by one.

Feng Xun shoved her away forcefully, and Xue Pianran stumbled unexpectedly, but a pair of hands promptly steadied her from behind.

"Feng Xun, why lash out at her?"

Although Cong Lv knew Feng Xun was in agony over Ye Lingyue, seeing him direct his anger and despair at Xue Pianran, he couldn't help but step forward to scold Feng Xun.

But upon making eye contact with Feng Xun, both Cong Lv and Xue Pianran were stunned.

Feng Xun's handsome face, which was like that of a Heavenly Person, now held eyes that were like two abysses, empty and lifeless.

"Is it really not related to her?" Feng Xun became dispirited, the color draining from his pale lips inch by inch.

Such a stranger Feng Xun appeared, and yet so familiar he was.

Cong Lv remembered, when he was ten, one day his father took him to the palace, and after Emperor Beiqing tested his Martial Arts, he took him to the harem.

In the imperial garden, several princes and princesses were playing.

But Cong Lv's gaze settled on a spot not far away.

There was a child of delicate beauty, sitting quietly in a corner, his beautiful eyes unfocused, staring straight ahead.

In his eyes, there was no other person, no scenery, only drowning in his own world.

That child alone had captured all of Cong Lv's attention.

"Cong Lv, that is my nephew Feng Xun. From today onwards, you are responsible for his protection."

Emperor Beiqing's nephew, the only son of the late Prince Feng, an orphan; Cong Lv had heard of Feng Xun's plight.

At that time, Feng Xun, who had just lost his parents, seemed just as he did today.

Cong Lv's heart trembled heavily, as he suddenly realized something.

This time, only a few people emerged from Cave No.2 of Xingxiu Cave.

The highest Heavenly-grade Spiritual Artifact within the Xingxiu Cave, the Yi God's Void-breaking Bow, was ultimately acquired by Ye Lingyue, but unfortunately, Ye Lingyue disappeared at the last moment along with Chen Minzhi, who was disguised as the second son of Kaijiang Prince Manor, with the whereabouts of both Ye Lingyue and the Void-breaking Bow unknown (of course, these were all memories altered by some witch).

The Beiqing Delegation left behind Cong Lv, Princess Qing Bi, Wen Xu, and even Wen Xu was seriously injured and needed half a year to recuperate.

In the Daxia Delegation were Hong Mingyue, Hong Yulang, Luo Song, as well as Xiahou Qi and Feng Xue who had earlier emerged from Cave No.5, which resulted in the Daxia Delegation having the fewest casualties this time.

But upon learning of Ye Lingyue's uncertain fate between life and death, Xiahou Qi's eyes turned bone-chillingly cold when looking towards Hong Mingyue and the others, and he even disregarded Princess Qing Bi and the others' pleas, immediately returning to Daxia.

Within Kaijiang Prince Manor, not a single soul survived, and even King Kaijiang was summoned to the palace for questioning regarding the infiltration of demons into the manor.

From the Heavenly Armor Sect, only Zhuge Yi and one other sect disciple remained.

Other delegations also had some members emerge one after another.

After the disappearance of Ye Lingyue, Cong Lv fell unconscious for a while.

By the time he awoke, Feng Xun was already in that disconsolate state.

He kept murmuring to himself,

"Maybe one day, or maybe a lifetime."

Such an answer was, without doubt, the cruelest for Feng Xun.

It was as if giving Feng Xun an empty promise of hope, intangible and elusive, causing unbearable pain whenever he thought of it.

Ye Lingyue vanished, and it seemed as if Feng Xun's heart also died in an instant.

Supported by the Sword Slave, Feng Xun boarded the Feng Residence's carriage, the residual blood on his robe brilliant like cherry blossoms.

Lan Cai'er and Little Wuya followed behind him, and after learning of Ye Lingyue's disappearance, Lan Cai'er's eyes were swollen, but she did not blame Feng Xun, because she knew the one most heartbroken over Ye Lingyue's disappearance was none other than Feng Xun.

As he got into the carriage, Feng Xun was so distracted that even the Phoenix Token falling to the ground went unnoticed by him.
