In order to give Liang Yi and Su Youyi the best possible enhancement effects, Zhu Shigu specifically set up a special formation at the location where Liang Yi and Su Youyi were conducting their secluded cultivation, designed to boost their intrinsic effects.

This type of formation is generally only accessible to Feng Yuyou and some elders and disciples with special contributions; presenting this to Liang Yi and Su Youyi was also part of Zhu Shigu's own considerations.

"Master···"

A call roused Zhu Shigu from his contemplation.

Zhu Shigu turned to look at his beloved disciple, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes as he asked:

"Feng Yuyou, what do you think about seeing the Taoist Sect's Liang Yi this time?"

Feng Yuyou was caught off guard by her master's question, as he usually showed little interest in such matters. After a lengthy silence, she slowly responded:

"Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times."

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Shigu laughed boldly.

"You have seen Liang Yi, and naturally, you have also seen Su Youyi by his side. What do you think?"

This time, Feng Yuyou was silent even longer before somewhat reluctantly murmuring:

"A heavenly favored lady! Feng Yuyou is no match for her!"

Although she was reluctant to admit it, the fact was undeniable, and Feng Yuyou couldn't claim to be superior to Su Youyi.

"It seems that my disciple's fantasy is about to be shattered."

Zhu Shigu winked playfully at Feng Yuyou, teasing her mischievously as a twinkle of mischief danced in his eyes.

Upon hearing her master cling to this topic, Feng Yuyou, with her elegant face turned downward, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"Even I, your master, never imagined that a woman could fall for a man just by looking at various reports about him every day."

Zhu Shigu, with hands clasped in front of him, looked in the direction where Liang Yi was cultivating, shaking his head helplessly and sighing.

"Though the man indeed possesses an unheard of and stunning talent, I still find it hard to understand such matters."

"Enough already, you're so annoying!"

Feng Yuyou, her true feelings exposed by her master, lost her usual cool demeanor in front of Liang Yi and Su Youyi, her cheeks flushing red as she fiercely glared at Zhu Shigu, too annoyed to banter with the bothersome master any longer, she angrily turned her head and walked away.

Zhu Shigu, chuckling, watched his disciple turn and leave, not in the least bit intending to stop her.

He really hadn't expected his foolish disciple to fall in love; it was only because Liang Yi had learned Qinglian Creation that he suggested Feng Yuyou pay more attention to that junior from the Taoist Sect.

How could he have possibly anticipated that someone would genuinely fall for another just by reading various reports about them?

However, if Liang Yi were to know about this matter, he definitely wouldn't be surprised.

It is known that in another world, some men are hopelessly in love with fictional women, incessantly calling them "wife! wife!".

When Feng Yuyou previously guided Liang Yi and the others, her cold demeanor was not due to her innate personality, but because the object of her previous fantasies had suddenly appeared before her, causing her to merely be nervous.

She merely wanted to use her cold demeanor and reticence to cover up the shyness and nervousness in her heart; this approach, however, worked quite well, at least making Liang Yi wonder if he had somehow offended this chief of the Little Bamboo House.

After sensing that Feng Yuyou had also started her seclusion, Zhu Shigu restrained the smile on his face, his lips slightly pursed, and his gaze becoming solemn as he looked towards the north.

"Quick, quicker, there really isn't much time left for you to cultivate peacefully..."

Being the person with the most informed intelligence in the world, he was naturally familiar with the situation in the Desert North, almost as if he were there in person.

The mobilization of the Wind God Commerce for battle preparation indeed bought some time for Chen Hua and the Zen Sect, the major reason being that the Wind God Commerce had produced some extremely rare treasures and immortal materials.

These world-rare treasured wonders miraculously delayed the complete shattering of the Array, allowing Chen Hua, in the absence of the strongest Abyss Cultivators, to forceably keep all Abyss Cultivators near the seal in cooperation with the Zen Sect.

To put it precisely, half of the Desert North had actually already fallen.

Initially, Chen Hua alone with a sword stood at the Abyss Gate, preventing the Abyss Demons and Cultivators from leaving the Abyss even a half-step.

But as the Array sealing the Abyss continued to shatter, the Abyss Cultivators that could emerge became stronger and stronger. Although still no match for Chen Hua, the other cultivators trying to halt the spread of the Abyss lacked his capabilities.

In such a scenario, it was only natural for the defensive line to be gradually dismantled by the Abyss until now, where the Abyss Seal was on the brink of breaking, and half of the Desert North had already become the territory of the Abyss.

Some Abyss Envoys, though no match for Chen Hua on their own, nearly ten Ninth Realm Abyss Cultivators besieging him was enough to firmly entangle him.

Abyss Cultivators hiding within the Abyss naturally wouldn't be bound by the limits of the Heavenly Dao, inherently natural mortal enemies. Thus, except for those fierce men of the Ninth Realm who have survived from the First Epoch to the present, most of the Ninth Realm cultivators were nurtured by the Abyss itself.

Those powerful confidants, the Abyss personally bestowed power upon each of them, also granting them an indestructible trait, ensuring that even if these important pawns were killed in battle, they would slowly revive.

Faced with these tenacious adversaries, Chen Hua alone truly couldn't defend such vast territories and could only trade space for time.

Previously, Chen Hua and the Zen Sect were indeed ready to retreat from the Desert North, but the unexpected involvement of the Wind God Commerce brought a glimmer of opportunity. Furthermore, senior Qinglian who was previously here, after bidding them farewell, instantaneously headed to the Desert North, collaborating with Chen Hua to resist the advance of the Abyss.

But this glimmer of opportunity could only delay for a bit of time, the apocalyptic crisis would not disappear, but would instead continue to intensify with time.

Zhu Shigu, with a clear overview of everything, understood just how fragile the peace of the Mystical Mechanism Continent was, and that there really wasn't much time left for these juniors to grow.

"Not just them, I myself must also hurry."

Zhu Shigu tightly grasped the key toward the Innate Divine Object's doorway left by Creation Green Lotus, his expression resolute.

The Little Bamboo House was where his heart lay, containing things and people he must protect; he would never allow the Abyss to destroy it all!

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Shigu's fingertips produced several purple bamboo leaves. The purple bamboo leaves paused momentarily, turning into streams of light that flew in various directions through the Void.

After arranging various matters of Little Bamboo House, Zhu Shigu finally nodded in relief, then turned towards the boundless Void to seek his breakthrough path!
