Chapter 2066 Heavy Atmosphere

Aboard a grand canal boat, Yun Lintian sat around a small table with everyone.

"The scenery here is breathtaking," Shen Liqiu remarked, admiring the unique landscapes lining both sides of the canal. It offered her a much-needed moment of relaxation.

Lin Xinyao and the others shared her sentiment. Finally, they had a chance to unwind.

Yun Lintian glanced around at everyone, hesitant to disrupt their peace. However, he had something important to clarify today. Transparency was vital, and the sooner they knew, the better.

Lin Zixuan, as if sensing his worry, spoke up. "Don't fret about us. Though we practiced diligently, we also allowed ourselves breaks. It wasn't as strenuous as you might imagine. In fact, it was a golden age for us, free from burdens."

"It's true, Master. It felt more like a prolonged vacation," Yun Chenyu said with a smile. She had blossomed into a tall, beautiful woman.

Beside her, Jia Shiyu fixed her large eyes on Yun Lintian. Like Yun Chenyu, she too had become a stunning woman.

Yun Lintian glanced playfully at his two disciples. "It seems like you haven't been cultivating diligently."

"No, Master. You've misunderstood me," Yun Chenyu quickly denied, prompting a wave of laughter from everyone.

Observing the lighter mood, Yun Lintian addressed everyone. "I've gathered you all here to discuss a critical matter. It concerns our future."

Everyone's expressions instantly turned serious.

Yun Lintian then proceeded to recount his current situation and the past experiences he'd endured over the years. It took him a full hour to conclude his narrative.

The boat glided leisurely along the canal, yet a heavy atmosphere filled the cabin. Yun Lintian's revelations were like a bomb detonating in their minds. Though they'd been absent from the real world for a few years, so much had transpired for him.

Lin Xinyao reached for Yun Lintian's hand and squeezed it gently. Her eyes brimming with concern, she spoke, "You've endured a great deal."

Yun Lintian shook his head with a smile. "It wasn't that bad. Thankfully, I still managed to squeeze in some relaxation."

Yun Qianxue and the other women mirrored Lin Xinyao's distress, their gazes reflecting their inability to fathom what Yun Lintian had endured.

"This isn't just your burden, but our future at stake," Jiang Yingyue said softly.

"We fight together," Yang Chen declared solemnly, his eyes blazing with unwavering determination.

Yun Lintian, struck by a sudden thought, turned to Yang Chen. "There's someone I'd like you to meet, Brother Yang."

"Oh? Who might that be?" Yang Chen inquired, surprised.

"Ouyang Feng. He's a God Emperor from the Celestial Realm with a powerful affinity for fire. Based on Senior Bai's words, I suspect he might be an inheritor of the Primordial Sun God," Yun Lintian explained.

"Why me?" Yang Chen's bewilderment deepened. He saw no connection between himself and Ouyang Feng.

"Truthfully," Yun Lintian began with a hint of amusement, "since our initial encounter, I've always held the belief that you possess the mark of destiny. In terms of raw talent, you're certainly Ouyang Feng's equal. Perhaps the mantle of Sun God inheritor could fall upon you."

Yang Chen remained speechless. Despite his confidence, such a prestigious title felt undeserved.

Yang Chen furrowed his brow slightly. "Wouldn't that be problematic? Though I doubt I could wrest it from him, isn't he considered an ally?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "While Senior Bai vouched for him, we have limited knowledge about Ouyang Feng. In all honesty, I trust you more."

Yang Chen's heart warmed at the sentiment. He gave a resolute nod. "I'll give it a shot."

"I understand they plan to visit the Celestial Realm. You can accompany them," Yun Lintian suggested.

"Understood," Yang Chen replied.

Hua Wanru spoke softly, "I'll go with you."

Yang Chen hesitated a moment before nodding. "Alright then."

Yun Lintian addressed everyone. "Let's take a few days to rest."
