"Father, you've finally awoken."
The three Phoenix sisters immediately rushed forward, cheering and jumping for joy.
Siti and Yao Yue also let out a sigh of relief, similarly crowding around Sha Chen.
Sha Chen smiled faintly. "How long did this meditation last?"
Bai Luan replied, "Father, a total of one year, three months, and seven days."
Sha Chen nodded. He hadn't expected this meditation to last so long and was thankful that Lord Yuan Shi had not appeared during this period.
"During this time, do you know if anything significant has happened in the world?" Sha Chen couldn't help asking.
All of them shook their heads; they had all been cultivating in seclusion within the Flowing Sand River Cave, with no concern for the affairs of the world.
Sha Chen nodded again. It was best that they didn't know, as it proved they hadn't left. What happened outside didn't really matter to them since it could not affect them.
