Chapter 74 Unawakened
The abyss is at the bottom of the valley.
Half a year has passed since Yun Dan fell here.
During this period, Yun Dan repeatedly tried to use her light-footed skills to climb the steep mountain peaks.
However, faced with towering cliffs, she discovered that even with all her might, she could only reach the halfway point.
At this point, her internal energy was exhausted, and she could no longer support herself to continue climbing to the top of the mountain.
Yun Dan spent half a year in this idyllic place.
She meticulously transformed the area around her residence into a beautiful garden.
Not far away, there is a small field, the result of her hard work.
All of this stems from Yun Dan's hard work and perseverance over the past six months. She has been living a self-sufficient life while diligently cultivating the land.
Now, Yun Dan has moved away from where she used to live and moved to Leng Xiyue's former residence, where she has rebuilt three simple thatched huts.
To her surprise, despite being trapped in this deep valley and unable to get out...
But the daily hard work, diligent practice, and sparring with Leng Xiyue gradually made her fall in love with this kind of life.
Now, Yun Dan has finally truly entered the realm of the Innate Realm.
Prior to this, due to her profound inner strength, Leng Xiyue mistakenly believed that she had already entered the Lesser Yuan Realm.
Now, Yun Dan spends time in the old Taoist's room almost every day, carefully taking his pulse.
However, there was one thing that Yun Dan had always been puzzled by.
He had been in this place for almost half a year, but the mysterious old Taoist priest was still unconscious.
What's even more surprising is that he's gradually looking younger.
Compared to when she first arrived with a full head of white hair, although she still has some white hair now, the amount of black hair has increased significantly.
Yun Dan was filled with curiosity and wanted to find out who this person was and why such a strange change had occurred.
She felt that this change might be related to the last ray of light emitted by the Ancient Yuan Emperor, because there was really no other reasonable explanation.
However, Yun Dan herself also received a beam of light from the Ancient Yuan Emperor.
However, this light seemed to only help her soul merge better with Xiaoya's body.
As for other aspects, she didn't have any particular feelings, perhaps because she hadn't yet realized the mystery behind it.
In the past six months, Yun Dan had tried to feed him porridge, but he was unable to swallow it.
She also took his pulse, and the results showed that his pulse was normal.
The fact that a person could go without food or water for more than half a year and still remain unharmed left Yun Dan racking her brains but unable to figure it out.
Faced with this situation, Yun Dan could only helplessly continue repeating the daily chores.
After all, she knew nothing about this unfamiliar world and had no choice but to wait silently.
Yun Dan has never had any particular ambitions and has always lived a life of taking things as they come.
During this time, she sometimes wondered why she had suddenly decided to pursue those two people.
If I hadn't done that back then, I might still be lying leisurely in Sujia Village now, occasionally teasing my little Yaoyao.
Moreover, she has been missing for so long, her family and villagers must be searching for her everywhere.
Xiaoyue and the others, in particular, must be extremely anxious and at a loss right now.
If it's true, as Leng Xiyue said, that one must at least cultivate to the level of a terrestrial immortal before leaving this place, how much time would it take her?
Ten, twenty, or even thirty or forty years from now? By then, everyone will probably be grandparents.
Thinking of all this, Yun Dan couldn't help but sigh...
Yun Dan slowly walked out of the room, and not long after, Leng Xiyue walked in.
Now, Leng Xiyue comes over almost every day to help him wipe his body.
In his heart, this old man was like an elder to Yun Dan, and Yun Dan did not object to this.
Not long after, Leng Xiyue arrived at Yun Dan's place.
Every time I come here, all I see is either barbecue or hot pot.
Since Yun Dan arrived, his life has become increasingly comfortable.
Yun Dan also caught a nest of wild game and kept it in the enclosure, so that whenever she wanted to eat wild game, she wouldn't have to go out to catch it all the time.
Yun Dan sat by the stream at the bottom of the valley, looking at the clear water, and felt a deep sense of emotion.
Just then, she saw Leng Xiyue coming over.
“Uncle Leng, we’ve been living here for quite a while now, and we don’t know when we’ll be able to leave. I’m suddenly starting to miss the people in the village.”
Hearing Yun Dan say this, Leng Xiyue could only offer her comfort.
"Xiao Yundan, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Although we can't get out for the time being, it's not bad here!"
Look, isn't this place like a paradise? At least there's none of the chaos and troubles outside."
Yun Dan understood this in her heart, but she just couldn't help but speak out.
"That's true, but I still miss life outside, I miss my family and my friends."
When Leng Xiyue first arrived here, she had the same thoughts as Yun Dan, but now that so much time has passed, she has come to terms with many things.
The only things he couldn't let go of were his family and the brother who had deceived him.
If he ever gets out of here, he'll definitely go find that guy and settle the score.
“I understand how you feel, but we have to face reality now and live our lives well. Only by surviving can we hope to leave this place.”
Leng Xiyue paused for a moment, then continued.
"If you hadn't come here, I guess I would have continued living like this in the Abyss of Extremes."
But now that you're here, I feel like there are some things I still need to try and fight for.
"Yes, Uncle Leng, you're right. We must be strong and not let difficulties defeat us."
The food in the pot was ready by then, and the two of them ate and chatted.
"By the way, Xiao Yundan, have your martial arts skills improved recently?"
With something in her mouth, Yun Dan replied to Leng Xiyue's words without a care in the world.
"Yes, I do. I spar with you every few days, and I feel that my martial arts skills have improved a lot."
Leng Xiyue thought about it and agreed; cultivation also requires a balance of intensity and relaxation.
"That's good. We need to keep improving our martial arts so we can get out of this Abyss of Extremes as soon as possible."
Leng Xiyue knew very well that leaving this place would not be an easy task, but she still advised Yun Dan not to let her guard down.
"Uncle Leng, when do you think the old man in the house will wake up?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Xiyue frowned.
"I don't know either. He's been unconscious for so long, and I don't know why."
However, his pulse and vitality are quite normal; it's just a matter of when he'll wake up.
"Yes, I believe he will definitely wake up."
Then Yun Dan ate while muttering to herself.
"I don't know where the Ancient Yuan Emperor got this old man from. He just left him here without doing anything and ran away."
He actually made me take care of him! It's infuriating!
"Yes, yes, as long as we take good care of him, I believe he will wake up soon."
"Uncle Leng, thank you so much. I'm so glad you've been there for me these past six months."
Without you, I don't know what I would do. I'm really afraid I'll go crazy living here alone, haha..."
When Leng Xiyue heard Yun Dan say that, she shook her head helplessly.
"Little Yundan, after spending the past six months with you, this old man is almost infected by your charm."
"Hehe... what's wrong! Isn't this good? People don't have many desires to begin with, so there's nothing to chase after."
Ordinary people's lives are inherently simple: no hunger, no illness, and good health without worries.
She muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "I've already died once, so I've come to terms with many things."
Hearing Yun Dan, who was so young, speak so maturely, Leng Xiyue laughed and scolded, "Oh, I really didn't expect you, little Yun Dan."
"How old are you? Speaking so old-fashioned nonsense, anyone who didn't know better would think you're a grandmother and the old man is his grandson."
Startled, Yun Dan quickly said, "No, no, Uncle Leng, please stop teasing me. Haha..."
