"In the past few years, Daddy failed to protect you, and I don't know how much suffering you suffered. Daddy doesn't want to make the same mistake again."
His voice was very soft, but each word hit Ye Xiyue's heart hard.
She didn't speak for a while, and something seemed to be surging in her chest.
Looking at her expression, Ye Heng realized that his daughter felt sorry for him, so he smiled and said:
"Actually, to be honest, the time it took dad to go from Lingzong to Lingzong was not just a few months."
Ye Xiyue's attention was diverted by his words, and she was slightly stunned: "What does daddy mean by this...?"
Ye Heng gently rubbed the teacup with his fingertips and pondered for a moment, as if thinking about what to say.
"When I was in the Sea of Broken Souls, I entered a very special realm. The flow rate of the space inside it was different from that of the outside world. The outside world only lasted a month, but in fact ten years had passed inside."
Ye Xiyue opened her eyes slightly.
She has encountered similar situations. For example, when she was at Nanshan College, the flow of time in the Miluo Mirror was obviously different from the outside world.
But she didn't expect that there was such a special place over the Soul-Dead Sea, and that her father happened to bump into it.
"Then you..."
She thought of something and frowned slightly.
According to his father, didn't he spend decades alone there?
As if he guessed what she was thinking, Ye Heng nodded and smiled: "Xi'er thought well. I did spend a long time there."
How can it be so easy to go from Lingzong to Lingzun?
But for him, it was actually a good thing.
Although it was a long and torturous period with constant twists and turns, it finally ended well.
Now that he has successfully broken through and become a spiritual master, nothing is more important than this.
"Actually, I didn't feel uncomfortable when I was inside. It was just that the retreat time was longer." Ye Heng sighed, "I don't know how many people want such an opportunity but don't have it."
Ye Xiyue curled her fingers.
Her father spoke calmly, but she knew in her heart that things were never that simple.
There are thousands of practitioners in the world, but only a few can break the shackles and become a spiritual master. Many people are trapped in the pinnacle of the spiritual sect for a lifetime, unable to cross that threshold until they die.
He is already one of a kind.
"Including the spiritual weapons, magic formulas and so on that I gave you before, they were all obtained from the Sea of Souls." Ye Heng relaxed a lot when he mentioned this, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile, "
Otherwise, dad really couldn't get these for you in such a short period of time. But I was in a hurry and didn't have time to choose carefully, and I don't know if there is anything you like. If it doesn't work, dad will come back later.
Go pick some again."
Ye Xiyue's mouth twitched.
"...Thank you very much, Daddy. You gave me a lot of these, which are very good."
This also answered her other questions.
He said earlier that the Qiankun Ring was fused with the heavenly spirit bones of a powerful spiritual master. It is not difficult to understand - the most indispensable thing in the Sea of Souls is the bones of a powerful spiritual master, right?
Ye Xiyue breathed out gently.
She could see that her father didn't want her to worry, so he kept choosing the right one to talk about. As for how much torture he had suffered, he was reluctant to tell her, so she wouldn't ask.
"actually--"
Ye Heng looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly,
"Xi'er, dad went to Duanhunhai because of... your mother."
