(Long Jian POV)

Back inside the cave, Yu Yan's spiritual form is still on top of the black bond waiting.

"Hey, I'm back. So you ready to get started?" I said casually as if I was just returning from a nice walk.

Yu Yan study me for a while before replying with "You must be quite powerful to defeat those two legend rank demon with their cursed."

"They are not really that tough. If you are at full strength, I believe you can handle hundreds of demon beast at their strength."

Yu Yan nodded "I'm ready"

"Alright then." I walk up to the array surrounding the pond. In just a few seconds I dismantle the whole array and jump into the pond. Once I reach Yu Yan's Divine Spark and the start of her body, I surround her body with an array I just made. Using the Law of Time-Space, I warp the rest of her divine spark here and speed up the process of her divine spark recovery.

A few seconds later her divine spark is complete and her body starts to grow. I didn't want to embarrass her further by looking at her naked body when it fully grows so I got out of the pond to wait for everything to finish. When I leave the pond, I notice something weird about the divine spark but the process was completed so I cancel the array. I can see that all the energy of the black pond disappears leaving it completely clear.

The energies water was used to speed up everything and help her gain some of her strength back. Right now her cultivation strength is comparable to peak Black Gold Rank but she can probably fight a Demigod without losing out. Yu Yan with her real body fully clothed comes out from the pond and gives me a glare.

"Hey don't look at me like that, I have to make sure of your situation before I do anything," I told her but left out the part of I also wanted to see how the divine spark come together and see how they work. I wasn't trying to be a pervert peeping on a naked lady. Her body was too small for any enjoyment anyway.

"Sigh, just warn me if you want to do something like that in the future." Yu Yan

"You want me to look at your body again in the future?" I tease her

Yu Yan face went red "You know that's not what I meant!"

"Hahaha… so what do you plan to do now?"

Yu Yan look around trying to think of what to do. "I don't know, I've been trapped here of tens of thousands of years so I don't know what's going on in the outside world."

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Well, whatever you decide to do just make sure to leave soon. Whoever the boss of those two outsides is probably known about their death already. They might come to investigate soon."

Yu Yan's face turns a little pale. "You mind if I come with you?"

"Hm?"

"The "boss" of those two is another spiritual god, one belonging to the demon clan. Right now I haven't recovered enough to fight or hide from him but if I stay near you, I can use your aura to help me hide." Yu Yan

I didn't want to make her follow me because I don't have a reason to but if she wants to come along, I'm not going to stop her.

"Sure, if you travel with me I won't have to worry about you running off and not returning the favor you own." I tease her again.

Her cheek turns light pink as she glare at me.

"Haha, I'm just joking, but if you're going to travel with me you should know a few things so you don't get confused later. This is only one of my body. This is not my original body, my original body is in a settlement called Glory City. This is also not what I'll look like but most of the time" I transform into my Long Jian disguise.

"Since my current body age is about 13 years old, I use this disguise to take care of things people usually don't let kids do. Even if I'm stronger than the people in the city, I don't want them to find out otherwise it'll just cause me trouble." I pause my explanation and see a confused Yu Yan.

"Did you at least get any of it?"

"Umm… this is not your original body and your current look is a disguise?" Yu Yan said unsure.

"At least you got the more important part. Come on, let's go before the boss of those two show up."

"Ok, but where are we going?" Yu Yan

"To a small settlement, I plan to ask if those people want to go live in a better place."

"A settlement? How many settlements are left?" Yu Yan

"About 3 that I know of. Glory City is the biggest one and the one I'm currently staying at. There are some people at the Heavenly Fate Plateau where I'm going now and finally, there are some in the Abyss Prison realm."

Yu Yan frown, "Abyss Prison Realm? If I remember right, that place is not really a good place to live in."

"Yeah, it's not that great but people make do with what they have. Now hold on, I'm going to get us out of this cave." I told Yu Yan as I get ready to teleport us.

"Wha..." Yu Yan

Before Yu Yan can finish, I already move us into the Nexus and teleport us to the array in St. Ancestral Mountain Range. The array is closer to the Heavenly Fate Plateau than the cave at the black swamp is. When we appear again, Yu Yan falls down onto the array with her butt sticking up.

"At least let me get ready" Yu Yan glare at me again as she got up.

"But it's fun to see your reaction. It's not every day you get to see a Goddess fall down in such a position, hahaha"

Yu Yan's face turns red again and her glare intensifies.

"Alright, I'm sorry. I'll try not to do it again."

"Try?" Yu Yan

"I'm not going to promise something I might not be able to keep," I said in a self-righteous tone.

"Sigh, If you're weaker than me, I'll have beat you black and blue already." Yu Yan

"Oh? How could you tell I'm stronger than you? I don't believe I showed you enough of my ability for you to guess my strength."

"You didn't, it's just a feeling I have. My feelings tend to be right most of the time. It's how I survive up until now even when most of the Spiritual Gods already disappeared." Yu Yan

She looks a little down when she mentions the other Spiritual Gods so I change the subject. "Let's get moving then, I want to get to the settlement before dark."
