Zhao Ling'er felt only darkness and coldness. She couldn't see any boundaries around her, and she didn't even know what she was stepping on. Her body felt light and airy, as if she were suspended in mid-air. This situation was just like falling into a dream.
She strained to open her eyes, but all she could see was darkness.
Perhaps it was a day, a year, ten years... After an unknown amount of time, scenery finally appeared before her eyes. A hazy gray shadow floated in front of her, and before she could see how it moved, it was already standing not far in front of her.
In the absolute darkness, the gray figure stood out remarkably clearly. It was a woman adorned with elaborate makeup, her fair skin made to appear exceptionally translucent by a pair of eyes that shimmered with a soft glow.
The refined air on her face carried a profound mystery and coldness, or perhaps it was because of her expressionless face that the mystery inevitably gave people a sense of death.
“My child, you have come.”
A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Zhao Ling'er finally remembered that the stone statue in the Nuwa Temple looked exactly like her mother.
"Mother." With this call, the emotions that Zhao Ling'er had buried in her heart for ten years burst forth.
"Ling'er..."
"mother……"
Just then, a point of blue light suddenly appeared, so dazzling in the dark space.
From within the blue light, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a Taoist robe, slowly walked out.
"Lin Yi, a rogue cultivator from the East Sea, greets the Witch Queen," Lin Yi said, cupping his hands in greeting.
“Mother, this is Master Lin. He brought me here to find you,” Zhao Ling’er introduced.
Queen Lin Qing'er's face was expressionless, and her gentle voice seemed to emanate from within her, faintly echoing: "What do you want?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I want to return to the Dream Immortal Technique."
Lin Qing'er's calm voice rang out, saying, "Only descendants of Nuwa can use the Dream Returning Immortal Technique; outsiders cannot learn it."
Lin Yi said with great interest, "Please tell me in detail, Your Majesty the Witch Queen."
Lin Qing'er said, "When Pangu created the world, his essence, energy and spirit transformed into the three ancestral gods Fuxi, Shennong and Nuwa, each holding different powers. Nuwa holds the power of time and creation, which is why Nuwa's descendants are able to use the dream-returning magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun."
Lin Yi nodded, not surprised. After a pause, he said, "I can help you restore your petrified body, but in return, I need you to cast the Dream Returning Immortal Technique on me once."
Lin Qing'er remained silent for a while before finally agreeing.
The darkness before her eyes disappeared, and Zhao Ling'er opened her eyes to see Lin Yi standing in front of her, looking up at the stone statue.
The Earth Spirit Orb appeared at his fingertips, its earthy yellow light enveloping the stone statue. Then came the Wind Spirit Orb, a wisp of Geng Metal divine wind blowing by. Metal generates water, and a crystal-clear true water full of boundless vitality was created, nourishing the stone statue and replenishing its depleted vitality.
Lightning flashed, accompanied by bursts of thunder. All things revived and burst forth with vitality. The stone statue trembled, and its exposed skin gradually lost its substance, taking on the feel of flesh and blood.
Flames rose as Lin Qing'er slowly descended from the altar.
All the unusual phenomena were contained within the main hall and did not affect the outside world.
The four spirit orbs of wind, thunder, earth, and fire slowly rotated around Lin Qing'er. Because the water spirit orb was missing, Lin Yi was needed to push it to form a complete five-element cycle.
The formless true water changes its properties; the Three Lights Divine Water replenishes life force; the Blood River True Water washes away impurities; the Heavenly One True Water combines with vital energy...
Under Lin Yi's guidance, Lin Qing'er gradually recovered her body. The divine power of creation flowing in Nuwa's bloodline was activated, and she was reborn from the inside out.
Lin Yi sighed inwardly, realizing that the descendants of Nuwa were indeed blessed with extraordinary advantages, something that others could only envy.
The strange phenomenon disappeared, and Lin Qing'er, enveloped in a cloud of mist, said, "Ling'er, come in."
Zhao Ling'er walked in with some confusion, and the mother and daughter spoke quietly.
A moment later, Lin Qing'er came out wearing Zhao Ling'er's coat. She was a beautiful, elegant, and noble woman.
Every gesture and movement exudes the elegant and dignified temperament unique to a mature young woman.
She is graceful and elegant.
Although her clothes didn't fit properly, it didn't detract from her beauty; on the contrary, it added to her allure.
Lin Qing'er parted her lips slightly and said, "Thank you for your help." Her voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, indescribably melodious and pleasant to the ear.
Zhao Ling'er then came out and hugged Lin Qing'er's arm tightly, unwilling to let go, showing her deep affection for her child.
Lin Qing'er gently stroked Ling'er's little face, her loving maternal glow illuminating her noble and beautiful features. She said softly, "My Ling'er, you've grown up now. I wonder which young man will be fortunate enough to marry my daughter."
Zhao Ling'er was already too happy to speak, burying her head deeply between her high breasts and turning around coquettishly. Her breasts swayed, making one's heart flutter.
Lin Yi coughed lightly and said, "When will the Queen of Witches be able to cast the Dream Returning Spell for me?"
Zhao Ling'er asked curiously, "Mother, what is the Dream Returning Immortal Technique? Can Ling'er learn it?"
Lin Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "Master Lin, don't be in a hurry. I will perform this technique for you in three days."
"Okay." Lin Yi readily agreed. He wasn't one of those young men who would be infatuated with beauty and lose their sense of direction. Although this mother and daughter were pure and charming, that wasn't a reason to do their work for free.

Chapter 160 Besieged by Illusions
Laughter and cheerful voices emanated from several houses located on one side of the sacred tree forest.
An old woman with a wrinkled face, wearing a headband, and a kind expression held Lin Qing'er and Zhao Ling'er's hands in hers, smiling broadly. Even the wrinkles on her face seemed to have lessened.
Not far from the house, Lin Yi lay casually on a large blue stone with his hands folded behind his head. The scorching sun made him squint.
A golden hue appeared in the sky, accompanied by a clear cry, and the golden-winged phoenix slowly descended. A gentle breeze caressed the face, and the shadows cast a cool glow.
