#2623 - Golden Age
In the Land of Disorder, the Capital of a Hundred Worlds, within the garden of a certain mansion.
A young man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the Tablet of Glory floating in the distant sky.
The sound of Order seemed to still echo in his ears.
His eyes were cold, his face sharply defined, extremely handsome, with a noble bearing, and his whole person possessed a terrifying sharpness.
Beside him stood two old men with their hands clasped behind their backs, and behind them stood a group of young powerhouses, each full of energy and vitality, their blood surging.
“This person is truly interesting, seemingly able to stir up the winds and clouds of the world every time.
This Secret Realm is almost becoming his personal stage.
He is undeniably brilliant and dazzling.
How can such a person not arouse jealousy in his peers?”
“Young Master, in this old servant's opinion, although this person is amazingly talented and possesses extraordinary aptitude, he is still inferior to you.
As long as Young Master makes a move, he will surely be slain under your palm without any suspense.”
The old man beside the young man said this.
“Hey, one should be low-key and humble, and the most important thing is to be able to see one's own strength clearly. Any overestimation may lead to an abyss of eternal doom.”
The young man spoke indifferently, not showing any joy because of the praise from the old servant beside him.
“Young Master is right, being low-key and humble is certainly necessary, but what this old servant said is the truth.
Shi was able to sweep through everything in the Secret Realm, single-handedly destroying the Divine Palace and the high-level members of that so-called Heaven-Favored force.
All this was only because the Divine Palace's location was mysterious, and Young Master was unable to find it all along, which allowed him to seize the opportunity.
Furthermore, strength within the Secret Realm does not represent a cultivator's true combat power.
Shi's luck is prosperous, and he himself has extremely strong abilities.
Since entering the Secret Realm, he has encountered the earliest golden age of the Secret Realm, obtaining a large number of opportunities and good fortune.
He possesses many special items that enhance his strength within the Secret Realm.
In addition, he has an Eternal-grade Divine Artifact, providing unimaginable amplification, which is why he was able to break through the Divine Palace and kill the person in charge of the Heaven-Favored force.
However, after returning to the outside world, he will lose all the buffs, and his strength will naturally decline.
This old servant believes that he will not be Young Master's opponent.”
“You underestimate him.” The young man shook his head, “Do you remember the woman named Lian Yue Qingxian who was by Shi's side?
If her realm was on par with mine, it would be difficult to severely injure her with one move.
Shi's strength is much stronger than that woman.
If we don't use external forces, I'm afraid it would be difficult to gain an advantage in front of him, and I might even be no match for him.
Of course, with the blessing of my Quasi-Extinction Immortal Emperor Artifact, slaughtering him would be as easy as picking flowers and pulling weeds.
Now that the Boundary Passage is about to be completed, let him live for a few more days for now.
Killing this person in the Godly Ancient Land is the most reliable approach.
There are many variables within this Secret Realm.”
“This… Young Master actually thinks so highly of him?”
The old servant beside the young man was very shocked.
How strong is Young Master? His combat power at the same level is so terrifying that even Emperor Realm experts praise him.
But he believes that without using external forces, he might not be Shi's opponent!
“One must learn to correctly recognize oneself.
However, no matter how high his aptitude is, in the end, he is destined to die and have his soul extinguished.
The strength of cultivators in the world has never been measured solely by one's own cultivation realm, but rather by a comprehensive assessment of all aspects, such as one's identity and background, which is also an extremely important point.
I was born into an Ancient Emperor Family, born with a golden spoon in my mouth. My natural starting line is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can compare to.
The things that the Ancient Emperor Family has given me are things that others wouldn't even dare to imagine. This is also a manifestation of hard power.
For example, I have the blessing of a Quasi-Extinction Emperor Artifact, while he does not.
With a thousandfold increase, killing him is as simple as crushing an ant.
Perhaps it is not fair to him.
But there has never been true fairness in this world. Everyone is born unequal.
The strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak. Even if civilization has developed to the current era, the underlying logic still cannot escape the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.”
“Young Master is right. Family background itself is a manifestation of hard power.
It's just that our family is not the only one who wants to kill Shi. Other Ancient Emperor Families are also determined to get him.
The competition between them is probably far more difficult than killing Shi.
Once Shi is killed by other Ancient Emperor Families, his innate bloodline source will fall into their hands…”
“This matter does not require you servants to worry about.
The high-level members of the major Ancient Emperor Families have already reached a consensus.
No matter who kills Shi, it is impossible to monopolize his innate bloodline source. It must be taken out and shared.
It's just that the Ancient Emperor Family that kills Shi will get a larger share.
For us, the purpose of this person is not only his innate bloodline source, but also future plans.
This person's aptitude is too terrifying. Even for us, the direct descendants of the Ancient Emperors, he poses a considerable threat.
The more this person grows, the more difficult the future situation will be to control, and the more difficult it will be to kill him.
Taking advantage of the fact that his realm is still low, we must nip him in the bud.
Otherwise, when we meet in a larger world and compete with him, we will miss many opportunities and good fortune, and he will become a stumbling block on our path to growth.
And the women around him are not simple either.
Those women all possess powerful ancient blood.
Some of them even have dual cultivation constitutions that are difficult to find throughout the ages.
For example, the woman named Mu Ciyin.
Killing Shi, dividing his bloodline source, removing future obstacles, and seizing his beauties for dual cultivation will be of great benefit to us, the direct bloodlines of the Ancient Emperors. It can help us break through the shackles of our potential and reach a higher level!”
The young man seemed to be speaking to the old servant beside him, and also to himself.
His eyes were very deep, and he had a surge of energy in his heart.
In Ancient Emperor Families like theirs, there was more than one direct bloodline of the Ancient Emperor.
He was only a ninth-generation descendant, and there were even closer bloodlines, eighth-generation, seventh-generation, and even earlier.
He even suspected that the family might still have Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters in sealed slumber.
In terms of bloodline, this ninth-generation descendant had no advantage over his predecessors.
If he wanted to be more brilliant in the family in the future, gain a higher position, and become a person that the family would rely on in the future, he had to find ways to improve the upper limit of his growth potential while the most outstanding geniuses and kings of the previous generations were still in slumber.
Shi and the women around him were excellent targets for them to improve the upper limit of their growth potential.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are good at seizing them and dare to fight.
If they missed this opportunity, they didn't know when the next one would come.
Time waits for no one.
The slumbering kings of geniuses in the family don't know when they will awaken from their slumber.
After all, the Great Era of the Heavens has gradually arrived, and a brilliant golden age belonging to the Heavens is about to fully begin.
This golden age may be even more brilliant than the Immortal Ancient Era.
As long as they seize every opportunity, their future achievements are foreseeable. Perhaps there is a possibility of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor Ancestor, or even surpassing the Emperor Ancestor's achievements, allowing the family to regain its former glory and splendor, and even be more prosperous and brilliant than in its previous peak period!
… …
At the same time, Jun Wuxie and the others had already left the Heaven Evolution Sect.
On this trip, they had gained a lot of rare resources such as Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pills, and also obtained a Heavenly Dao Ring.
He was quite satisfied.
Now that Yao Buchen had returned to his heart, the matter of refining the Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pill was also a certainty.
The next thing to do was to return to Ning Prefecture, retreat and cultivate, improve his realm, and strengthen his physical body.
The massive resources on his body were enough to make his strength soar several levels.
The people around him would also be able to obtain huge improvements because of this.
… …
Ning Prefecture, Shi God's Mansion.
After Jun Wuxie returned, he immediately arranged for Yao Buchen to meet the Old City Lord, so that he could use the Life Wheel Flesh Ganoderma to replenish his physical defects.
At the same time, he took out a large number of Essence Divine Tree seeds for the Old City Lord.
There were also many exotic soils. These exotic soils were the highest quality exotic soils in the Secret Realm.
He brought them back casually from the Divine Palace.
The Old City Lord was overjoyed, watching the exotic soil and Essence Divine Tree seeds, he was so excited that his beard trembled.
Whether it was exotic soil or seeds, they were all of top quality.
With these resources, top-grade Essence Divine Fruits could be cultivated soon.
In this way, the powerhouses of Ning Prefecture could all break through the shackles of their realms.
After Yao Buchen left with the Old City Lord, Jun Wuxie saw Qing Yao and Qing Mei looking at Lin'er with tears in their eyes, while Lin'er looked blank.
At this time, Saint Lin'er had a very strange feeling in her heart.
Why did these two sisters give her such a familiar and kind feeling?
She didn't know why, but when she looked at them, deep down in her heart, she couldn't restrain the urge to get close to them.
She didn't know why she felt this way. Similar things had never happened before.
Qing Yao and Qing Mei also recognized her at first glance.
They were too familiar with the aura on her body.
In those years, for hundreds of years, they had been nourishing the sleeping her with their own life essence and origin.
At that time, she was still a little girl, pink and chubby, like a delicate porcelain doll.
The porcelain doll from back then had now grown up and become a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old.
The Saint Kirin bloodline is different from humans. The timeline for adulthood is very long.
“Sisters, why are you crying?”
Lin'er was very sad. Seeing the tears in their eyes, her heart also felt sad, and she had a feeling of wanting to cry.
“Lin'er, you can't call them sisters. You have to call them aunties.”
“Ah?”
Saint Lin'er looked at Jun Wuxie blankly, “Brother, what's going on? They… …
“Lin'er, they are the real masters of the Divine Palace. The masters of the Divine Palace who had ulterior motives towards you in the past were actually two high-level members of the Divine Palace back then… …
Jun Wuxie told Saint Lin'er what he had learned from Qing Yao and Qing Mei.
Saint Lin'er listened, tears streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably.
It turned out that when she was sleeping, she vaguely sensed that the person who continuously supplied her with life essence was not the so-called adoptive mother, but Aunt Yao and Aunt Mei!
They were her real family.
For tens of thousands of years, they had been imprisoned and suffered all kinds of torment, until only a few days ago when they were finally freed.
She couldn't imagine how they had persevered through those dark and hopeless years, that long torment.
"Lin'er."
Qing Yao and Qing Mei parted their red lips slightly, their voices trembling slightly.
This call of Lin'er was filled with too much emotion.
Saint Lin'er couldn't hold back any longer, she burst into tears and ran over, hugging them tightly.
"Aunt Yao, Aunt Mei, I'm sorry, it's all Lin'er's fault!
All these years, Lin'er has been recognizing thieves as relatives, not knowing that you were imprisoned and suffered all kinds of torment, I'm sorry, wuwu…"
"Lin'er, don't cry, it's not your fault, you simply didn't know the truth, they deceived you.
Aunt Yao and Aunt Mei are sorry for you.
If we hadn't trusted them back then, we wouldn't have been imprisoned and could have protected you as you grew up.
Our negligence almost caused you to lose your life.
Fortunately, you were clever and escaped from the Divine Palace, otherwise we would never forgive ourselves…"
Qing Yao and Qing Mei gently patted Saint Lin'er, looking at her tearful face, their hearts filled with guilt.
As the descendants of the guardian bloodline of the Saint Kirin Clan, they almost failed to protect the only bloodline descendant of the Saint Kirin, almost becoming sinners!
"No, no, it's not, it's not Aunt Yao and Aunt Mei's fault…"
Lin'er shook her head, crying.
"Alright, don't dwell on the past anymore.
No matter how unbearable the past was, it has already passed.
Now, you are finally reunited, and you can accompany each other in the future, you should be happy."
"The Beginning God is right, Lin'er won't cry anymore, good child, you've grown so big."
Qing Yao wiped the tears from Lin'er's face, a warm smile appearing on her still tear-streaked face, "When we were guarding you back then, you were still a little girl."
…
Jun Wuxie quietly retreated a little, leaving the space to them.
"Husband, you should cultivate."
Wan reminded him that now he should seize the time to improve his strength.
Now, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, and only by becoming stronger as soon as possible can he better cope with all kinds of situations.
