### Chapter 2831 — Returning to the Ancient Evil God Sect
Yang Lin calmly flew forward with Xu BaiLing.
The surrounding sky stretched endlessly into the distance.
Immortal clouds drifted between the distant mountains, while countless cultivation countries and ancient forces existed across the vast Lower Realm.
Yang Lin did not fly as quickly as he usually did.
Instead, he deliberately slowed down so Xu BaiLing could take another glimpse of the Lower Realm.
Xu BaiLing quietly looked at the scenery.
She had descended to the Lower Realm millions of years ago to see her hometown.
At that time, she had never expected that she would become trapped inside the Icy Pillar Tower for millions of years.
Now, she was finally free.
Her long, dark hair flowed gently behind her as she looked at the distant mountains, rivers, and cultivation lands.
Her beautiful eyes carried a trace of nostalgia.
She recognized many things.
Although the Lower Realm had changed over millions of years, some things remained familiar to her.
She calmly observed the scenery without saying anything.
Yang Lin glanced at her.
He understood her feelings.
However, he did not interrupt her.
He simply continued flying forward at a leisurely pace.
After a while, Xu BaiLing turned her head toward him.
"Yang Lin."
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"What is it?"
Xu BaiLing smiled faintly.
"Nothing. I just wanted to thank you again."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Nothing much."
Xu BaiLing looked at him for a moment before turning her gaze toward the distant horizon.
She had gradually become accustomed to his way of speaking.
To Yang Lin, saving someone who had been trapped for millions of years was nothing much.
After a few more moments, Yang Lin calmly looked ahead.
The Ancient Evil God Sect had appeared in the distance.
Its enormous mountain ranges stretched across the surrounding land.
Ancient palaces stood among the mountains, while Immortal clouds drifted around the peaks.
Powerful formations covered the sect, and numerous cultivators moved through its territory.
Yang Lin calmly stopped in the air.
"This is the Ancient Evil God Sect."
Xu BaiLing looked toward the sect.
Yang Lin continued.
"Someone I know is the Sect Master."
Xu BaiLing's expression changed slightly.
She looked at him.
"So this sect belongs to one of the Twelve Pillar Gods?"
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Yes. There are two here, though."
Xu BaiLing blinked.
"Two?"
"One came to visit, just like I did."
Xu BaiLing quietly looked at him.
"So you know two of the Twelve Pillar Gods?"
Yang Lin calmly nodded again.
"Yes."
Xu BaiLing became silent.
She had spent millions of years inside the Icy Pillar Tower, and she understood how extraordinary the Twelve Pillar Gods were within the Lower Realm.
Yet Yang Lin spoke about knowing two of them as though he were discussing ordinary acquaintances.
She calmly looked toward the Ancient Evil God Sect again.
After a moment, Yang Lin asked, "Let's go in?"
Xu BaiLing nodded.
"Alright."
The two of them calmly descended toward the Ancient Evil God Sect.
Without attracting unnecessary attention, they entered the sect and headed toward the main hall.
Yang Lin had returned.
But this time, he had not come back alone.
And the woman beside him was someone whose origins would surprise everyone waiting inside the main hall.
### Chapter 2832 — The Woman Beside the Lord of Nothingness
Inside the main hall of the Ancient Evil God Sect—
Moon Demon Fairy, Gu Yi Longshu, Chaoran Zhi Quan, and Yu Luhan were waiting.
They had already sensed the arrival of a new cultivator at the peak of the Transcendence Realm Perfection Late Stage.
However, they had not expected Yang Lin to return with that person.
After a short while, Yang Lin and Xu BaiLing entered the main hall.
Moon Demon Fairy immediately looked toward them.
She calmly said, "You're back."
Yang Lin nodded.
"Yes."
Before anyone could say anything else, Chaoran Zhi Quan stood up.
Her expression brightened.
She immediately ran toward Yang Lin.
"Yang Lin!"
She reached him and hugged him.
Yang Lin calmly stood there.
He did not seem surprised by her reaction.
Chaoran Zhi Quan held him for a moment before finally letting go.
She stepped back slightly and looked at his face.
Then she smiled.
"You finally came back."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Yes."
Only then did Chaoran Zhi Quan notice the woman standing beside him.
She turned toward Xu BaiLing.
Her expression changed slightly.
"Yang Lin, who is she?"
Moon Demon Fairy also looked toward Xu BaiLing.
Gu Yi Longshu calmly examined the woman.
Then she asked, "Is she the new Transcendence Realm cultivator?"
Moon Demon Fairy's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Wait. She's a Transcendence Realm Perfection Late Stage Peak cultivator, right?"
Yu Luhan was shocked.
"A Transcendence Realm Perfection Late Stage Peak cultivator?"
He stared at Xu BaiLing.
"And she's not one of the Twelve Pillar Gods?"
He could hardly believe what he was hearing.
The peak of the Transcendence Realm Perfection Late Stage was the highest level of cultivation recognized within the Lower Realm.
Even among the Twelve Pillar Gods, reaching such a level was extraordinary.
Yet a woman they had never seen before had suddenly appeared beside Yang Lin.
Chaoran Zhi Quan returned to her seat after greeting Xu BaiLing.
She looked toward the woman and spoke politely.
"I'm Chaoran Zhi Quan."
Xu BaiLing calmly nodded.
"Nice to meet you."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
Xu BaiLing then looked at everyone.
"There's no need to be polite."
She paused briefly.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Xu BaiLing, and I'm from the Immortal Realm."
The entire main hall became quiet.
Xu BaiLing continued speaking in a calm voice.
"Millions of years ago, I came down to the Lower Realm to see my hometown. However, I became trapped inside my Immortal Realm treasure, the Icy Pillar Tower, in the Icy Region."
She paused.
"The Icy Region is somewhat like a Secret Realm, but it isn't actually one."
Everyone listened carefully.
Moon Demon Fairy's expression changed.
Gu Yi Longshu looked at Xu BaiLing with surprise.
Chaoran Zhi Quan was equally astonished.
Yu Luhan's eyes widened.
A woman from the Immortal Realm had been trapped in the Lower Realm for millions of years.
And Yang Lin had brought her back.
The information alone was astonishing.
But what happened next was even more shocking.
Yang Lin calmly spoke.
"I saved her. Nothing much."
Silence filled the main hall.
Moon Demon Fairy stared at Yang Lin.
Gu Yi Longshu's eyes widened slightly.
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at him in disbelief.
Yu Luhan was completely speechless.
Yang Lin had saved someone from the Immortal Realm who had been trapped for millions of years, and he described it as nothing much.
Xu BaiLing calmly looked toward him.
She had already learned that he treated extraordinary matters as ordinary ones.
However, hearing him say it in front of others still made her feel a little strange.
Moon Demon Fairy and Gu Yi Longshu exchanged glances.
Then both stood up.
They respectfully greeted Xu BaiLing.
"Welcome to the Ancient Evil God Sect."
Xu BaiLing calmly looked at them.
"Please don't be so polite. There's no need to greet me like that."
She gestured toward their seats.
"Please sit down."
Moon Demon Fairy and Gu Yi Longshu looked at each other before nodding.
"Thank you."
They returned to their seats.
Xu BaiLing smiled faintly.
"Just call me Xu BaiLing. All of you."
Everyone nodded.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward Xu BaiLing.
"Take a seat."
Xu BaiLing nodded.
"Thank you."
She sat down immediately to Yang Lin's right.
Chaoran Zhi Quan sat on his left.
Moon Demon Fairy sat on the opposite side to Xu BaiLing, while Gu Yi Longshu sat opposite Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Yu Luhan sat beside Chaoran Zhi Quan on the other side.
Everyone settled into their seats.
The atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
However, Moon Demon Fairy, Gu Yi Longshu, Chaoran Zhi Quan, and Yu Luhan were still thinking about Xu BaiLing's origins.
A woman from the Immortal Realm had been trapped for millions of years.
And Yang Lin had rescued her.
To everyone present, this was an extraordinary event.
To Yang Lin, it was simply another ordinary day.
### Chapter 2833 — The Lord of Nothingness Is Becoming Famous
Everyone sat inside the main hall.
Xu BaiLing calmly looked around.
The hall was spacious and elegant, with ancient pillars supporting its enormous ceiling.
Intricate patterns covered the pillars, while powerful formations were hidden throughout the structure.
The surrounding spiritual energy was abundant.
Although the Ancient Evil God Sect was an extraordinary force within the Lower Realm, Xu BaiLing did not show any particular surprise.
She had come from the Immortal Realm.
She had seen places that ordinary Lower Realm cultivators could not imagine.
The Ancient Evil God Sect was impressive, but she had no reason to behave arrogantly or look down on it.
Moon Demon Fairy calmly looked toward Yang Lin.
After a moment, Yang Lin spoke.
"My title, the Lord of Nothingness, seems quite famous, I guess."
Moon Demon Fairy smiled faintly.
"Not just quite famous."
She paused.
"Your title is already famous throughout the Central Region of the Central Domain. Soon, it will become famous throughout the entire Central Domain."
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"Whatever it is."
Chaoran Zhi Quan nearly laughed.
She had expected Yang Lin to react differently after hearing how widely his title had spread.
Instead, he appeared completely indifferent.
Gu Yi Longshu smiled slightly.
She was already accustomed to his attitude.
Yu Luhan, however, was still thinking about the title.
The Lord of Nothingness.
The name had begun spreading throughout the Central Region, and it was only a matter of time before more people learned about him.
Yet Yang Lin did not seem interested in cultivating his reputation.
Xu BaiLing calmly looked toward Yang Lin.
She remembered how he had entered the Icy Region, crossed the restrictions, and appeared before her without warning.
She also remembered how he had suppressed her realm without damaging her foundation.
Now, she understood why everyone behaved so strangely around him.
However, she still did not know the true extent of his abilities.
She decided not to ask.
Yang Lin calmly looked around the main hall.
"Let's eat lunch."
Everyone looked toward him.
Moon Demon Fairy smiled.
"Alright."
Gu Yi Longshu nodded.
"That's fine."
Chaoran Zhi Quan also smiled.
"I'm hungry."
Yu Luhan nodded without hesitation.
"Me too."
Xu BaiLing calmly looked toward Yang Lin.
She was curious about what he would do next.
Yang Lin raised his right hand.
He calmly waved it.
In the next instant—
a magnificent table appeared in the center of the main hall.
It was accompanied by elegant chairs and countless dishes of Transcendence Realm food.
There was no visible formation.
There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy.
There was no Immortal Qi or Transcendence Qi involved in creating the objects.
Everything had simply appeared.
The table was made of an extraordinary material that ordinary words could not properly describe.
Its surface was smooth and radiant, with intricate patterns that seemed to exist beyond ordinary craftsmanship.
The chairs were equally extraordinary.
They were elegant, sturdy, and perfectly arranged around the table.
Then there was the food.
Countless dishes filled the enormous table.
Some contained meat from Transcendence Realm beasts, prepared with extraordinary precision.
Others contained rare Immortal herbs, fruits, and ingredients that could not be found in ordinary cultivation lands.
Steaming dishes released fragrant aromas that spread throughout the main hall.
Some foods glowed with faint golden light.
Others shimmered with silver or violet hues.
There were dishes prepared with rare spiritual ingredients, soups containing powerful medicinal properties, and delicacies whose flavors were beyond ordinary description.
Alongside the food were numerous bottles of wine.
The wine contained an extraordinary quality that surpassed ordinary Immortal wine.
Even a small sip would allow cultivators to experience the richness of Transcendence Qi.
Moon Demon Fairy looked at the table.
Gu Yi Longshu was equally surprised.
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled brightly.
Yu Luhan stared at the dishes.
Xu BaiLing, however, was not particularly surprised by the food itself.
She had seen extraordinary dishes in the Immortal Realm.
What truly caught her attention was how Yang Lin had created everything.
The table.
The chairs.
The Transcendence Realm food.
The wine.
Everything had appeared out of Nothingness.
There had not been even a trace of Qi.
Not Immortal Qi.
Not Transcendence Qi.
Not any other form of energy.
Yang Lin had simply waved his right hand, and everything had appeared.
Xu BaiLing quietly looked at him.
Her expression remained calm, but her eyes carried a trace of astonishment.
She had already witnessed his extraordinary abilities.
Yet each new display made her realize that she still understood very little about him.
Yang Lin calmly looked at everyone.
"Let's eat."
Everyone stood up.
They moved toward the table and took their seats.
Xu BaiLing sat to Yang Lin's right.
Chaoran Zhi Quan sat to his left.
Moon Demon Fairy sat on the opposite side of Xu BaiLing, Gu Yi Longshu sat opposite Chaoran Zhi Quan, and Yu Luhan sat on the other side beside Chaoran Zhi Quan.
Everyone settled into their chairs.
The table was filled with Transcendence Realm food and wine.
Yang Lin calmly picked up his chopsticks.
"Eat whatever you like."
Moon Demon Fairy smiled.
"Then I'll help myself."
Gu Yi Longshu also picked up her chopsticks.
Chaoran Zhi Quan immediately reached for one of the dishes.
Yu Luhan poured himself some wine.
Xu BaiLing calmly looked at the food before selecting a dish.
The atmosphere inside the main hall became lively.
Everyone began eating and drinking together.
### Chapter 2834 — A Table Created from Nothingness
The lunch continued inside the main hall of the Ancient Evil God Sect.
The enormous table was filled with countless Transcendence Realm dishes.
The fragrance of the food spread throughout the hall.
Moon Demon Fairy picked up a piece of meat from one of the dishes.
She tasted it.
Her eyes brightened slightly.
"Not bad."
Gu Yi Longshu smiled.
"Of course. It's Transcendence Realm food."
She selected another dish and tasted it.
The flavor was extraordinary.
The ingredients were rare, and the preparation had preserved their natural qualities while bringing out their best characteristics.
Chaoran Zhi Quan was already enjoying the food.
She picked up another piece of meat and placed it on her plate.
"Yang Lin, this one is really good."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Eat more if you like it."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
"Alright."
Yu Luhan poured some wine into his cup.
He examined the liquid for a moment.
The wine shimmered faintly under the light.
Its fragrance was rich and refined, and a subtle aura surrounded it.
He took a sip.
His eyes widened.
"This wine is extraordinary."
Moon Demon Fairy looked toward him.
"Of course it is. Everything on this table is Transcendence Realm food or wine."
Yu Luhan nodded.
He carefully poured another cup.
Gu Yi Longshu tasted the wine as well.
She smiled faintly.
"It's very good."
Xu BaiLing calmly ate beside Yang Lin.
She was accustomed to Immortal Realm delicacies, so the food itself did not surprise her.
However, she still occasionally glanced toward the table.
The table and chairs had been created from Nothingness.
The food and wine had also appeared from Nothingness.
There had been no materials beforehand.
There had been no Qi.
There had been no visible process of refinement or cooking.
Yang Lin had simply waved his right hand.
Everything had appeared.
Xu BaiLing quietly looked at him.
Yang Lin calmly continued eating.
He did not seem interested in explaining how he had done it.
After a while, Xu BaiLing finally spoke.
"Yang Lin."
Yang Lin looked at her.
"What is it?"
She glanced at the table.
"Everything here was created from Nothingness?"
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Yes."
Xu BaiLing paused.
"Without using any Qi at all?"
Yang Lin nodded again.
"Yes."
Xu BaiLing became silent.
She had already witnessed Yang Lin suppressing her cultivation without harming her foundation.
She had watched him enter and leave the Icy Region without difficulty.
Now, she was sitting beside him at a table created entirely from Nothingness.
She could not understand how such a thing was possible.
But she did not press him for an explanation.
Yang Lin calmly picked up his cup.
"Drink some wine."
Xu BaiLing looked at him.
Then she smiled slightly.
"Alright."
She picked up her cup and took a sip.
The wine was excellent.
The warmth spread gently through her body, and its extraordinary quality was immediately apparent.
She calmly placed the cup back on the table.
Moon Demon Fairy looked toward Xu BaiLing.
"Xu BaiLing, how long were you trapped inside the Icy Pillar Tower?"
Xu BaiLing answered calmly.
"Millions of years."
Everyone became quiet for a moment.
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at her with sympathy.
"Millions of years..."
Xu BaiLing smiled faintly.
"It's alright. I'm free now."
She glanced at Yang Lin.
He was calmly eating.
Xu BaiLing's expression softened slightly.
"Yes. I'm free now."
The others followed her gaze toward Yang Lin.
Moon Demon Fairy smiled faintly.
Gu Yi Longshu shook her head slightly.
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked pleased.
Yu Luhan remained amazed.
Yang Lin calmly continued eating as though none of the conversation concerned him.
The lunch continued.
Everyone enjoyed the food and wine while talking about various matters.
Time passed quietly.
### Chapter 2835 — The Expressions Around the Table
The lunch inside the Ancient Evil God Sect's main hall continued for several hours.
Moon Demon Fairy and Gu Yi Longshu occasionally discussed the situation across the Central Region.
Chaoran Zhi Quan talked with Yang Lin about matters she had wanted to ask him since his departure.
Yu Luhan listened to their conversations while enjoying the Transcendence Realm food.
Xu BaiLing remained seated beside Yang Lin.
She gradually became more comfortable with everyone.
Although she had spent millions of years isolated inside the Icy Pillar Tower, she had not forgotten how to converse with others.
She calmly answered questions when they were directed toward her.
When Moon Demon Fairy asked about the Immortal Realm, Xu BaiLing briefly explained that it was far beyond the Lower Realm in terms of cultivation and understanding.
She did not go into excessive detail.
The Immortal Realm was not something that could be fully explained through a few ordinary sentences.
Moon Demon Fairy listened attentively.
Gu Yi Longshu occasionally asked a question of her own.
Chaoran Zhi Quan also joined the conversation.
Xu BaiLing answered them calmly, without arrogance or impatience.
The atmosphere gradually became friendlier.
At one point, Chaoran Zhi Quan looked toward Xu BaiLing and smiled.
"I'm glad Yang Lin found you."
Xu BaiLing paused.
Then she glanced at Yang Lin.
"So am I."
Yang Lin calmly continued drinking wine.
He did not respond to the comment.
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at him.
"Yang Lin, you really don't think saving someone from the Immortal Realm is a big deal?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"What's so special about it?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan was speechless.
Moon Demon Fairy laughed softly.
Gu Yi Longshu smiled.
Yu Luhan shook his head in disbelief.
Xu BaiLing also smiled faintly.
She had asked herself the same question.
But she was beginning to understand that Yang Lin's attitude was simply part of who he was.
He did not seem to measure his actions according to how extraordinary others considered them.
He simply did whatever he wanted.
After a while, Moon Demon Fairy raised her cup.
"To Xu BaiLing's freedom."
Gu Yi Longshu lifted her cup as well.
"To her freedom."
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled.
"Welcome to the Lower Realm."
Yu Luhan also raised his cup.
Xu BaiLing looked at them.
For a moment, the loneliness in her eyes softened.
She raised her cup.
"Thank you."
Everyone drank together.
Yang Lin calmly raised his cup as well.
He took a small sip.
Then he placed it back on the table.
"Not bad."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at him helplessly.
"Yang Lin, can you say something other than that?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"Interesting."
Chaoran Zhi Quan covered her mouth.
Moon Demon Fairy laughed.
Gu Yi Longshu smiled more openly.
Even Xu BaiLing could not help letting out a quiet laugh.
Yu Luhan looked at Yang Lin, then at the others.
He was beginning to realize that being around Yang Lin was never quite as simple as it appeared.
The most extraordinary person in the room could make an entire conversation revolve around him without making any effort at all.
And he could do it while calmly eating lunch.
### Chapter 2836 — The Lunch of the Lord of Nothingness
The sun gradually moved across the sky outside the Ancient Evil God Sect.
Immortal clouds drifted around the distant mountain peaks.
Waterfalls flowed down the floating mountains, and the sect's formations shimmered faintly in the distance.
Inside the main hall, everyone continued enjoying lunch.
The table remained covered with Transcendence Realm dishes.
Several bottles of wine had already been opened.
Moon Demon Fairy was in a good mood.
Gu Yi Longshu was also enjoying the gathering.
Chaoran Zhi Quan occasionally spoke with Yang Lin, while Yu Luhan listened to the conversation and ate.
Xu BaiLing sat quietly beside Yang Lin.
She was no longer as reserved as when she had first entered the main hall.
The others had treated her politely without demanding that she prove her identity or explain her past in unnecessary detail.
She appreciated that.
After a while, Moon Demon Fairy looked toward Yang Lin.
"Will you stay here for a while?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"Perhaps."
Moon Demon Fairy narrowed her eyes slightly.
"That's not an answer."
Yang Lin picked up his cup.
"Then consider it an answer."
Chaoran Zhi Quan laughed.
Gu Yi Longshu shook her head with a smile.
Xu BaiLing looked at Yang Lin.
She was slowly becoming accustomed to his way of speaking.
He could answer a question without actually giving a clear answer, and somehow he would still appear completely satisfied with himself.
Moon Demon Fairy sighed.
"Whatever. I suppose we should be grateful that you returned at all."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"That's right."
Moon Demon Fairy stared at him.
Gu Yi Longshu laughed softly.
Yu Luhan quietly continued eating.
Xu BaiLing smiled.
The conversation continued for some time.
They discussed cultivation, the Central Region, and the spread of Yang Lin's title.
Moon Demon Fairy explained that more and more forces were beginning to hear about the Lord of Nothingness.
Some were curious.
Some were cautious.
Others wanted to learn more about the mysterious cultivator whose name had appeared throughout the Central Region.
Yang Lin showed no particular interest.
"Let them hear about it."
Moon Demon Fairy looked at him.
"You really don't care?"
Yang Lin calmly replied, "Not particularly."
Xu BaiLing quietly listened.
She remembered how Yang Lin had introduced himself to her as an Immortal Emperor Supreme Peak cultivator.
He had not boasted about his strength.
He had not attempted to make himself seem important.
Now, she understood that even his growing reputation did not matter much to him.
He simply lived as he pleased.
The lunch continued.
Everyone ate and drank happily.
Several hours passed before the sunlight outside began to soften.
Eventually, the dishes on the table became fewer, and the bottles of wine were nearly empty.
Everyone had enjoyed the gathering.
By the time evening approached, the lunch had finally come to an end.
### Chapter 2837 — Evening in the Ancient Evil God Sect
The sunlight outside the Ancient Evil God Sect gradually faded.
Golden light spread across the distant floating mountains before slowly giving way to the colors of evening.
Inside the main hall, everyone finished the last of the food.
Moon Demon Fairy placed her chopsticks down.
Gu Yi Longshu set her cup on the table.
Chaoran Zhi Quan leaned back slightly in her chair.
Yu Luhan finished his wine.
Xu BaiLing calmly looked at the table.
The meal had lasted for several hours.
Everyone had eaten and drunk happily.
The atmosphere had been peaceful, and Xu BaiLing had gradually become familiar with the people Yang Lin knew.
She had spent millions of years trapped inside the Icy Pillar Tower.
Now, she was sitting among others, sharing a meal and talking about ordinary matters.
It was a simple experience.
Yet it felt different from the long isolation she had endured.
Xu BaiLing quietly glanced toward Yang Lin.
He was still sitting calmly.
He did not appear tired.
He did not seem particularly satisfied or excited.
He simply looked as though he had finished an ordinary meal.
After a moment, Yang Lin stood up.
Everyone followed.
Moon Demon Fairy rose from her chair.
Gu Yi Longshu stood beside her.
Chaoran Zhi Quan and Yu Luhan also got up.
Xu BaiLing calmly stood beside Yang Lin.
Everyone stepped away from the table and returned to their usual seats inside the main hall.
The enormous table remained in the center.
The Transcendence Realm food and wine were still arranged across its surface.
The chairs stood around it.
The main hall was quiet again.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward the table.
Then he raised his right hand.
He waved it once.
In the next instant—
the table turned into Nothingness.
The chairs turned into Nothingness.
The remaining Transcendence Realm food turned into Nothingness.
The remaining wine and drinks turned into Nothingness.
There was no explosion.
There was no release of Qi.
There was no fluctuation in the surrounding formations.
Everything simply disappeared.
The table, chairs, food, and wine had all ceased to exist.
Xu BaiLing watched calmly.
Although she had already seen Yang Lin create everything from Nothingness, she now witnessed him return it all to Nothingness with the same effortless action.
Moon Demon Fairy remained composed.
Gu Yi Longshu was equally accustomed to his abilities.
Chaoran Zhi Quan smiled faintly.
Yu Luhan looked toward the empty space where the enormous table had stood.
He still found it difficult to become completely accustomed to Yang Lin's methods.
Yang Lin calmly lowered his right hand.
"Alright."
He returned to his seat.
Everyone else settled down as well.
The main hall returned to its original appearance.
### Chapter 2838 — Nothing Remains
The evening sky outside the Ancient Evil God Sect grew darker.
The first stars appeared above the distant mountains.
Immortal clouds continued drifting around the peaks, while the sect's formations maintained their gentle glow.
Inside the main hall, everyone sat in their seats.
The enormous table had disappeared.
The chairs that had accompanied it were gone.
The Transcendence Realm dishes and wine had also vanished.
Nothing remained of the meal.
Yang Lin calmly looked toward Moon Demon Fairy.
"How have things been here?"
Moon Demon Fairy answered calmly.
"Everything has been fine."
She briefly explained that the Ancient Evil God Sect had remained peaceful.
Gu Yi Longshu nodded in agreement.
"There haven't been any significant problems."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked toward Yang Lin.
"You always ask that after returning."
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"Is there a problem?"
Chaoran Zhi Quan shook her head.
"No."
"Then it's fine."
Chaoran Zhi Quan was speechless for a moment.
Then she laughed softly.
Xu BaiLing watched the exchange.
She had already noticed that Yang Lin's conversations with his acquaintances were often like this.
He did not say much.
Yet the others appeared comfortable speaking with him.
There was no need for him to act important or establish his status.
His presence alone was enough.
After a while, Gu Yi Longshu looked toward Xu BaiLing.
"Xu BaiLing, do you intend to stay in the Lower Realm for a while?"
Xu BaiLing calmly nodded.
"For now, yes."
She paused briefly.
"I spent millions of years trapped inside the Icy Pillar Tower. I would like to see the Lower Realm again."
Gu Yi Longshu smiled.
"That makes sense."
Moon Demon Fairy nodded.
"You can stay here if you wish."
Xu BaiLing looked at her.
"Thank you."
Moon Demon Fairy smiled faintly.
"There is no need to thank us."
Xu BaiLing nodded.
She appreciated their hospitality.
Yang Lin calmly listened to the conversation without interrupting.
Yu Luhan looked toward him.
"Yang Lin, will Xu BaiLing stay with you?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at Yu Luhan.
"She's sitting here, isn't she?"
Yu Luhan froze.
Chaoran Zhi Quan immediately laughed.
Moon Demon Fairy covered her mouth.
Gu Yi Longshu smiled.
Xu BaiLing looked at Yang Lin.
For a moment, she did not know whether to laugh or remain silent.
Then she let out a quiet laugh.
Yu Luhan shook his head.
"That's not what I meant."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"I know."
Yu Luhan stared at him.
"Then why did you answer like that?"
Yang Lin calmly replied, "Because you asked."
The main hall fell silent for a moment.
Then Chaoran Zhi Quan laughed again.
Xu BaiLing smiled.
Moon Demon Fairy shook her head with amusement.
Gu Yi Longshu also smiled.
Yang Lin calmly sat in his seat.
He did not seem to understand what was so funny.
Or perhaps he simply did not care.
### Chapter 2839 — The Calm Lord of Nothingness
The main hall remained peaceful.
Everyone continued talking about various matters.
Moon Demon Fairy and Gu Yi Longshu discussed the situation in the Central Region.
Chaoran Zhi Quan occasionally spoke with Yang Lin.
Yu Luhan listened to their conversations.
Xu BaiLing quietly observed the people around her.
She was still adjusting to life outside the Icy Pillar Tower.
For millions of years, she had lived in isolation.
Now, she had entered the Ancient Evil God Sect and met several people who knew Yang Lin.
They had welcomed her without making things difficult.
Xu BaiLing felt grateful.
After a while, she looked toward Yang Lin.
"Yang Lin."
Yang Lin calmly turned his head.
"What is it?"
Xu BaiLing hesitated briefly.
"Thank you for bringing me here."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Nothing much."
Xu BaiLing smiled.
She had expected that answer.
Moon Demon Fairy looked at them.
"You two really are interesting."
Xu BaiLing glanced toward her.
"Why?"
Moon Demon Fairy smiled.
"Because he acts as though saving someone from the Immortal Realm is nothing, while you keep thanking him."
Xu BaiLing became quiet for a moment.
Then she calmly replied, "He helped me. Of course, I should thank him."
Moon Demon Fairy nodded.
"That's true."
Yang Lin calmly listened to their conversation.
He did not offer any additional explanation.
Gu Yi Longshu looked toward Xu BaiLing.
"Still, you must have been very lonely inside that tower."
Xu BaiLing's smile faded slightly.
She looked down for a moment.
"Sometimes."
Her voice remained calm.
"But I endured it."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at her sympathetically.
Xu BaiLing raised her head again.
"It's over now."
She smiled faintly.
"I don't need to keep thinking about it."
Everyone became quiet for a moment.
Then Yang Lin calmly spoke.
"That's right."
Xu BaiLing turned toward him.
Yang Lin continued.
"Since you're out, just enjoy yourself."
Xu BaiLing stared at him for a moment.
Then her smile became warmer.
"Alright."
Moon Demon Fairy looked at Yang Lin.
For a brief moment, her expression softened.
Gu Yi Longshu also smiled faintly.
Chaoran Zhi Quan rested her chin on her hand, looking at Yang Lin with a thoughtful expression.
Yu Luhan remained silent.
The atmosphere inside the main hall became peaceful once again.
Outside, the stars shone above the Ancient Evil God Sect.
The night gradually deepened.
Yang Lin calmly sat in his seat.
Xu BaiLing sat nearby.
For the first time in millions of years, she was no longer alone inside the Icy Pillar Tower.
And Yang Lin continued behaving as though he had merely gone out for an ordinary walk.
### Chapter 2840 — An Ordinary Evening
Night had completely fallen over the Ancient Evil God Sect.
The sky above the sect was filled with countless stars.
Immortal clouds drifted between the distant floating mountains, and the sound of waterfalls echoed faintly through the surrounding landscape.
Inside the main hall, Yang Lin and the others continued sitting together.
The meal had ended.
The table, chairs, Transcendence Realm food, and wine had all been turned into Nothingness by Yang Lin's right-hand wave.
There was no trace of the extraordinary banquet left behind.
Moon Demon Fairy calmly looked toward Yang Lin.
"So, what do you intend to do next?"
Yang Lin calmly replied, "Nothing much."
Moon Demon Fairy sighed.
"That answer again."
Gu Yi Longshu smiled.
Chaoran Zhi Quan laughed softly.
Yu Luhan shook his head.
Xu BaiLing looked at Yang Lin with a faint smile.
She was beginning to understand that he did not need to make elaborate plans for every day.
He could simply decide to go somewhere, do something, and return whenever he wanted.
After a moment, Xu BaiLing looked toward the distant doorway.
"It's peaceful here."
Moon Demon Fairy nodded.
"The Ancient Evil God Sect is usually peaceful."
Gu Yi Longshu added, "There are always cultivators training, but there is rarely any unnecessary disturbance."
Xu BaiLing smiled faintly.
"That sounds good."
She had spent millions of years inside the Icy Pillar Tower.
Peace was something she had known, but it had been a lonely kind of peace.
Here, she could hear people talking.
She could see others cultivating and moving through the sect.
She could experience the world again.
Xu BaiLing quietly looked toward Yang Lin.
He was sitting calmly in his seat, his expression unchanged.
After a moment, he stood up.
"Alright. I'll go for a walk."
Chaoran Zhi Quan looked at him.
"Where?"
Yang Lin calmly answered, "Somewhere."
Chaoran Zhi Quan stared at him.
Moon Demon Fairy covered her mouth to hide her smile.
Gu Yi Longshu shook her head.
Yu Luhan sighed.
Xu BaiLing looked at Yang Lin.
Then she slowly stood up as well.
"May I come with you?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"Sure."
Xu BaiLing smiled.
"Thank you."
Yang Lin calmly nodded.
"Nothing much."
Chaoran Zhi Quan immediately looked away, trying not to laugh.
Moon Demon Fairy smiled.
Gu Yi Longshu's expression was amused.
Yu Luhan simply shook his head.
Yang Lin calmly walked toward the doorway.
Xu BaiLing followed beside him.
The two left the main hall and entered the peaceful night of the Ancient Evil God Sect.
Behind them, Moon Demon Fairy, Gu Yi Longshu, Chaoran Zhi Quan, and Yu Luhan remained inside the hall.
They watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
The Lord of Nothingness had returned.
And now, he was taking a quiet walk with the woman he had rescued from the Icy Pillar Tower.
To everyone else, it was an extraordinary story.
To Yang Lin—
it was simply an ordinary evening.
