#1929 - Time always flies
In the Ninth Eternal Pass, the You Yu Clan, the Lan Qin Clan, and the Hengqi Sect were all busily working in an orderly manner.
The city was filled with discussions.
This was because the You Yu Clan and the Lan Qin Clan jointly announced yesterday that the Hengqi Sect would join the ranks of the guardian forces, replacing the Black Ji Clan's position.
The people in the city started to discuss this enthusiastically.
However, the Hengqi Sect had always been very disciplined in its actions and had never done anything that violated the laws of the Eternal Pass.
Therefore, people were not repulsed by their succession to the position of Eternal Pass guardian and becoming one of the powers. Most of the discussions were in support.
Currently, the three major guardian forces were busy preparing for the opening of the Ultimate Eternal Pass. At the same time, they also sent many strong individuals to the First to Eighth Eternal Passes to forcibly take over the guardian imprints from the Black Ji Clan members in those passes.
In the Black Ji Clan's territory, a cloud of sorrow hung over everything.
The once invincible clan suffered a devastating blow yesterday.
Now, they no longer dared to raise their arrogant heads.
All the members of the Black Ji Clan had retreated into their territory, and the clan's mountain gate was tightly closed.
Most of the clan members inside remained silent, trembling with fear and anxiety.
A small number of people gathered to discuss the future.
They were very clear that the clan's power was gone.
But where should they go?
They definitely could not stay in the Eternal Pass.
Since ancient times, the members of their clan had acted somewhat domineeringly, to the point of offending many people.
Although the clan's higher-ups always distanced themselves whenever a clan member made a mistake, saying it was the individual behavior of the clan member, and then punished them by drinking three cups of wine as a symbolic gesture.
But this could not dispel the resentment in people's hearts.
It could be said that within this Eternal Pass, the Black Clan was not very popular, and many people even had a hostile attitude towards them.
In the past, the clan was powerful, a guardian clan, and one of the ruling forces of the Eternal Pass.
But now, times had changed, and the clan had declined.
Even though there were still several ancient ancestors in the clan at the Half-God Realm.
But the current Eternal Pass was not the Eternal Pass of the past.
This era was too brilliant, with countless geniuses and talents gathering.
In this Ninth Eternal Pass, there were a large number of trial takers at the Half-God Realm, each of them a powerful figure.
With the clan's power being taken away and unable to control the formation, it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would target them, relying only on a few ancient ancestors.
Especially with the You Yu Clan, the Lan Qin Clan, and the Hengqi Sect controlling the Eternal Pass, their situation was even worse.
At the same time.
Deepest within the Black Ji Clan's forbidden area.
There was an ancient cave dwelling here, with two stone doors engraved with rune formations tightly closed.
The cave dwelling had its own world inside, a small world.
On the summit of a high mountain in this small world, sat a person wearing a black robe.
His body exuded a mysterious aura and a terrifying pressure.
In front of the mountain, there were three relatively low mountains, each with an old man wearing Black Ji Clan attire sitting cross-legged on it.
They appeared to be in their twilight years, with white hair and beards, and their faces were gloomy as water.
These three were the only remaining ancient ancestors of the Black Clan, at the pinnacle of the Half-God Realm.
Each of them was at the level of the You Yu Clan's ancestor, the Lan Qin Clan's ancestor, and the Hengqi Sect's founder.
It was just that their level in the Divine Forbidden Domain was slightly lower, and their strength was slightly weaker than those two ancestors and the Hengqi Sect's founder.
Their clan's strong individuals were used as cannon fodder in the previous events, making them feel very angry, but they were helpless.
The great Dark Overlord did not take action, watching their people being killed by Jun Wuxie.
The young masters from beyond the realm were also the same, actually fleeing without a fight.
They knew why the Dark Overlord did not take action, and they also understood why the young masters from beyond the realm retreated.
All of this was to allow Jun Wuxie to successfully enter the secret realm.
Only within the Ultimate Secret Realm would they have absolute certainty that he could not escape and would be killed.
Therefore, they completely ignored the life and death of their clan members.
"Don't worry, once Jun Wuxie is killed, the You Yu Clan, the Lan Qin Clan, and the Hengqi Sect will be destroyed.
At that time, the entire Eternal Pass will belong to your Black Ji Clan, and you will become the sole ruler of the Eternal Pass.
Killing Jun Wuxie is the only way to better lay the foundation for my great Darkness to conquer this realm and reduce the casualties of our Dark Army.
Therefore, your Black Ji Clan's sacrifices are all worth it.
Be loyal to the great Darkness and be prepared to give everything at all times.
The great Darkness will not forget your contributions and will surely give you ten times the reward.
You don't need to have any resentment in your hearts.
Since you have chosen to be the loyal believers and servants of the great Darkness, you should have the most basic awareness.
Unless you are not truly surrendering to the great Darkness, but have other plans."
"Darkness Lord, please calm your anger!"
The only three remaining ancient ancestors of the Black Ji Clan were frightened when they heard these words. The gloomy expressions on their faces were immediately replaced by panic. They immediately knelt down and vowed to dedicate everything to the great Darkness without any complaints!
"I am very pleased that you have this awareness.
Soon, Jun Wuxie will die. At that time, it will be the beginning of your Black Ji Clan embarking on a path to a peak that has never been reached before.
Although you have lost a large number of strong individuals at the Half-God Realm this time.
But as long as you can solely control the Eternal Pass, in this great era, why worry about not being able to quickly cultivate more Half-God Realm experts.
The treasuries of the You Yu Clan, the Lan Qin Clan, and the Hengqi Sect must contain a large number of divine-grade resources accumulated since ancient times.
Once they are destroyed, this Overlord can reward all those divine-grade resources to you as compensation for your losses this time."
"We kneel to thank the great Dark Overlord and are willing to go through fire and water for the great Darkness!"
They were deeply surprised.
If they could obtain the divine-grade resources of the three major forces, in this special era, it was indeed possible to cultivate many Half-God Realm experts.
Because this era was different from the past. The shackles of comprehending the laws of the Divine Realm were not as difficult as in the past.
This was a gift from the order of heaven and earth.
At that time, their clan would surely be able to return to its peak and reach a height that had never been reached before.
And after the great Darkness occupied this world, they, as meritorious officials, would surely be able to obtain more and be able to rule over a wider starry sky!
……
Time passed day by day.
The day of the opening of the Ultimate Secret Realm was getting closer and closer.
In the city, all the geniuses who had arrived at the Ninth Eternal Pass were already eager to try, their hearts excited, and they could not wait.
Along the way, after experiencing the Eternal Pass Starry Sky Ancient Road, everyone had obtained various great opportunities in this special era.
These geniuses knew best the significance of the Ultimate Secret Realm.
The previous Starry Sky Ancient Road and various secret realms were already so extraordinary.
The opportunities hidden in this final Ultimate Secret Realm would be unimaginable.
As long as they could enter the Ultimate Secret Realm, they would definitely be able to obtain huge benefits.
At least, it could allow their realm to rise to a higher level within the Half-God Realm.
In this way, when facing the Dark Invasion in the future, they would have more strength to kill the enemy and protect themselves, and also be able to enhance the strength and status of their family and sect.
……
The Eight Nine Profound Palace, a world covered by the power of time.
Only a few days outside, but several years had passed here.
In this world, in some scenic lakes, coasts, or valleys in the mountains, you could see small wooden houses and exquisite courtyards.
These were all places where Jun Wuxie and Ye Qingxue had stayed for several years.
This vast world was covered with their footprints.
Their footprints were left between scenic spots and famous mountains and rivers.
During these years, they accompanied each other every moment.
Now, in a large canyon, near a waterfall that plunges straight down.
There was also an exquisite courtyard built of green jade bamboo.
Outside the courtyard was a large flower garden.
Various beautiful flowers bloomed in the sun and swayed in the breeze, filling the entire valley with the fragrance of flowers.
In the flower garden, butterflies of various colors flew among the flowers.
A small figure held a net in his hand, chasing butterflies in the flower garden, his figure was cheerful, and he let out a silver bell-like crisp laughter from time to time.
Jun Wuxie followed behind, with a doting smile on his face.
"Big brother, come here, Nannan has caught a butterfly, it's so beautiful ~"
The childish voice echoed in the valley.
The cheerful figure chasing the butterfly stopped and turned to look at him, his big watery eyes flickering, his pink and jade-like little face flushed, his hair combed into two pigtails, and he was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
"Coming."
Jun Wuxie walked forward quickly and squatted down.
Xiao Nannan put the caught butterfly in his palm, and a brilliant smile appeared on his delicate porcelain doll-like face.
"Is Nannan very powerful?"
She asked for praise as if she was asking for credit, and then sighed and pouted, saying: "Big brother, don't hurt the cute butterfly ~"
After speaking, he reached out and pinched Jun Wuxie's cheek, giggling.
"Of course my Nannan is the most powerful."
Jun Wuxie smiled and gently scratched her delicate little nose, but his eyes could not help but become moist.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, is Nannan not being good ~"
Xiao Nannan was so frightened when she saw the crystal in his eyes that she was about to cry.
"No, Nannan is the best, big brother is too happy, seeing Nannan so happy, big brother is also very happy."
He had been here for several years, accompanying her day and night.
He never mentioned what happened back then, just wanted to use companionship and meticulous care to heal the trauma in her heart.
Now, he finally saw the effect.
A few days ago, he woke up to find Qingxue in his arms had somehow transformed into the little Nan Nan.
In these past few days, she, in the form of little Nan Nan, has worn a happy and joyful smile every day.
He knew this was a sign that the knot in her heart was loosening, and her obsession was weakening.
She was finally able to face him with her former identity.
Although it might still be some time before her trauma is completely healed, at least it was a good start.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, spending time with her like this in the future will surely resolve the knot in her heart.
At that time, she will be able to completely open her heart and be with him.
Ye Qingxue, transformed into little Nan Nan, was so adorable that he wanted to hold her in his palm and cherish her every moment.
In this state, she had temporarily sealed away her other memories, making her completely indistinguishable from the Nan Nan of the past.
Calculating the time, the Ultimate Secret Realm is about to open.
With the time flow here, he can still accompany her for about two more years.
Facing her, who has begun to open her heart, he must cherish these two years and strive to further dilute the negative obsessions in her heart.
The following days...
They did not leave this canyon again.
Every day, they stayed here with little Nan Nan.
The environment here was somewhat similar to his former residence, Yunjing Canyon, in the Divine Ancient World.
Standing in the canyon and looking at the sky, one could see large patches of white clouds and floating colorful clouds.
Yunjing Canyon was where he and his mother lived back then.
Later, he met little Nan Nan and brought her back there.
During their time in Yunjing Canyon, he spent almost every day playing and frolicking with her.
The similar setting was more conducive to healing the emotional wounds she had suffered back then.
In spring, he accompanied her in chasing butterflies in the flowers.
In summer, he took her to catch fish in the shallow stream.
In autumn, he accompanied her to see the red leaves fluttering in the sky, collecting flower dew in the morning, and watching the colorful clouds at dusk.
In winter, he accompanied her to build snowmen, carve ice ornaments, feed the hungry little animals in winter, watch the swirling snow, let her ride on his neck, run in the snow, and listen to her happy and crisp laughter…
Time always flies quickly.
Years passed in happiness as if in the blink of an eye.
The day for the opening of the Ultimate Secret Realm had arrived.
He could no longer stay here to accompany her.
She seemed to have set a time limit for herself when she transformed into little Nan Nan.
This morning, when he woke up, the little Nan Nan who was snuggling in his arms was gone, and she had returned to being a beautiful woman with peerless beauty, jade-like bones, and unparalleled elegance.
Opening his eyes, he saw her staring at him with those clear and cold beautiful eyes.
Different from the past, he could see a hint of tenderness in her clear and cold beautiful eyes, and even a subtle and imperceptible smile on her delicate lips.
"Do you remember what happened these years?"
Jun Wuxie gently stroked her exquisite face, brushed away a strand of hair beside her ear, and kissed her crystal-clear forehead lightly.
