Two yellow oxen are tied at He Lingxiu's doorstep. Sometimes Ling Zhenfei accompanies He Lingxiu to herd the oxen, each riding one. Once, the oxen went wild, and Ling Zhenfei fell off.

Looking up at the sky is the same blue sky from childhood, with a plane dragging a long tail across the sky.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, even unable to distinguish whether this was illusion or reality.

He even wanted to get up and walk towards his home to see what was there, whether his brother was still at home, and if it was early enough, perhaps he could see his parents.

But at that moment, a voice deep in Ling Zhenfei's soul told him that it was all an illusion, all fake.

The soul's depths told him all of it was fake, yet his mind believed it was true because it felt so real.

Sometimes the eyes can deceive oneself; things we believe we can see are actually tricks.

Now, Ling Zhenfei was like this. If not for the voice from the depths of his soul telling him that everything was false, he might have walked towards his home.

Ling Zhenfei had cultivated in Soul Passage, making his soul immensely strong, so when this supreme existence deceives him, his soul's depths give him warnings.

In truth, although Ling Zhenfei's eyes and mind fully believed everything to be real, his soul's depths told him it was all false.

But the soul's depths merely gave Ling Zhenfei a hint; they couldn't turn the image into a real scene.

The real scene looked like what was seen outside the formation, just some flagpoles on a grassy field creating these images.

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit angry in his heart, thinking how everything was clearly fake, yet it looked real.

Knowing it was fake, but wanting to see it, that's Ling Zhenfei's current thought.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

His mind kept pondering what to do. Could it be he couldn't walk out of this formation?

If all of this was illusion, then if Ling Zhenfei used the Sky Piercing Finger or Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists against the surroundings.

If those flagpoles truly existed, then knocking them all down would break the formation.

Ling Zhenfei knew it wasn't that easy. Although his heart knew it was impossible, he still used his Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists for a wild barrage around.

Unexpectedly, he shattered Qinghe Village directly, Ling Zhenfei's house and He Lingxiu's house were all smashed to pieces by him.

But the shattered houses quickly restored as if the punches Ling Zhenfei just threw never happened.

Ling Zhenfei's heart was filled with shock and some depression; even if all of this was real, there must be an end to it. Thinking about this, Ling Zhenfei ran towards the distance.

This was a long road, rough and uneven, where Ling Zhenfei often ran as a child.

While running, Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of He Lingxiu, thought of that silly girl from the village. Now, He Lingxiu had undergone a major change.

As a child, He Lingxiu followed Ling Zhenfei like a shadow, affectionately calling him Brother Afei.

Now, He Lingxiu was a grown woman, skilled in Medical Arts and capable of handling things on her own.

Wondering if she still remembered her childhood self, Ling Zhenfei ran, but after running for a long time, he found Qinghe Village just ahead, getting closer the more he ran.

Ling Zhenfei was perplexed, but still ran in, back to the place earlier, Ling Zhenfei's home, He Lingxiu's home.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a while, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

If Ling Zhenfei's soul wasn't incredibly strong, he'd likely already confuse virtual with reality.

That Ling Zhenfei knew all this was false was already extraordinary.

Ling Zhenfei knew that no matter the formation, there were always flaws, let alone this mysterious formation, a temporary setup.

Temporary setups surely have plenty of flaws.

To break this formation and walk out anew, there are only two ways: firstly, to enhance Ling Zhenfei's Soul Passage cultivation, after which reality would naturally become clear.

The other way is to find the formation's flaws.

Ling Zhenfei's Soul Passage was only at Zhiyi Initial Stage.

Since he cultivated late, it's much lower than Ling Zhenfei's Cultivation Technique.

Enhancing Soul Passage rapidly in a short time is simply impossible.

Then there's only one way left, finding the formation's flaws. It seemed like another impossible task.

With time pressing, Ling Zhenfei couldn't stay here for ten days or half a month.

Looking at all the familiar scenes, Ling Zhenfei felt even more homesick, especially for that home over a decade ago.

Though life was tough back then, it couldn't be denied it was extremely happy.

Thinking about this, Ling Zhenfei suddenly missed He Lingxiu, so he picked up his phone and called He Lingxiu.

He Lingxiu's phone quickly connected.

"Brother Afei, are you looking for me?"

One call of Brother Afei, it was as if nothing changed, even after so many years.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Axiu, what are you doing now?"

He Lingxiu replied, "I'm in Yunchuan now."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and said, "Didn't I ask you to return home from the Capital City? Why did you go to Yunchuan? What are you doing there?"

He Lingxiu said, "That's right, Brother Afei. I met an old man on the train, an old soldier. His son is severely ill, and he went to Beijing to find a doctor, but didn't succeed. No one was willing to go to Yunchuan to treat his son.

Fortuitously, he met me, and the old man asked me to treat his son. I saw the poor old man and followed him to Yunchuan."

He Lingxiu was always so kind-hearted, whenever someone needed help, she'd definitely step in.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then come home soon, everyone in the village misses you."

He Lingxiu joyfully said, "Got it, Brother Afei, you're so strange today, saying things like that."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Axiu, if you could return to some point in time, when would you choose?"

He Lingxiu thought for a moment and said, "Should be when I was ten years old." Ling Zhenfei was surprised, as now he was in the time when He Lingxiu was ten.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Why that time, those days were very tough for us."

He Lingxiu said, "Yes, we couldn't eat well or dress well, attended school during the day, and had to gather pigweed after school. Holidays meant herding oxen, but still, it felt joyful."
