#624 - The outer ruins are opened

Due to the urgency, Jun Wuxie didn't plan to stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty for long. He entrusted the reconstruction of the Human-Horse Clan's territory to them, including the specific site selection, allowing them to choose it themselves.

Afterward, he went to the imperial court and met with Consort Ling, telling her about the Human-Horse Clan and the possible relocation of the Bear Clan and the Three-Eyed Giant Clan in the future, asking her to arrange things when the time came.

After parting with Consort Ling, he went to Bingyun Tower and briefly met with Mu Xuelan.

Finally, he took Lilia and his daughter back to the Zhuxian Sword Sect and directly met with the Ancestral Master and the Phoenix Lord.

Tian Jianyi and the Phoenix Lord were very happy and adored Little Xian'er.

In fact, they had been watching all of Jun Wuxie's experiences in the Great Wilderness, without missing a single detail.

It's just that Jun Wuxie himself didn't know it.

"You two can rest assured and go to the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy to cultivate. We will take care of Xian'er and will not let her be wronged."

The Phoenix Lord held Xian'er in her arms, her face full of doting. Little Xian'er was usually shy with strangers, but she was very affectionate towards the Phoenix Lord and Tian Jianyi.

For Emperor Realm powerhouses, it was too easy to influence someone's perception of them.

"Lilia, now that you have entered the Jun family, you are now considered a member of my Zhuxian Sword Sect. Your clan excels at archery, but in the future, you will have to compete with geniuses, and archery alone is not enough. This sword imprint is bestowed upon you, so that you can comprehend and study it carefully. As for weapons, ask your husband, he has many ancient swords of superior quality."

Tian Jianyi flicked his finger, and a sword imprint filled with fierce sword intent entered Lilia's brow.

Immediately, a vast amount of sword dao information and sword dao insights, cultivation techniques, and so on, surged into Lilia's mind.

The exquisiteness and profundity of the sword techniques shocked her.

"Lilia thanks the Ancestral Master for the gift!"

After her excitement, she regained her senses and hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"Xian'er, you must listen to the Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master Mother here, understand?"

Jun Wuxie stroked his daughter's head, feeling very reluctant to leave her in the sect as he was about to depart.

He really wanted to take his daughter to the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy, but this was the safest place, and even if he went to the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy, he wouldn't be able to stay with her every day. He would have to go to the Extraterrestrial Ruins soon...

"Daddy~ Mommy~"

Little Xian'er's big eyes were filled with moisture, looking aggrieved.

"Ancestral Master, Ancestral Master Mother, we're leaving!"

Jun Wuxie didn't dare to look at his daughter's teary-eyed appearance. He took Lilia's hand, resolutely turned around, and left without looking back.

"Daddy~ Mommy~ Take care~"

His daughter's childish voice, filled with sobs, came from afar.

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled. He didn't even see Su Xiaoxiao and the others before leaving like this.

Becoming a father for the first time and then separating so quickly made him very uncomfortable with this feeling.

"Husband..."

Lilia's eyes were filled with tears. Her daughter had never been separated from her since birth. Today was the first time.

She felt as if a certain place in her heart had been hollowed out.

"Alright, don't be sad. The Ancestral Master and Ancestral Master Mother will take good care of Xian'er. She won't be wronged in the sect, and she will also have Little Fanyin to accompany her, with many children of similar age to play with."

He comforted Lilia like this, but his own heart felt empty, and his mind was full of images of his daughter calling him Daddy with her big, sparkling eyes.

Soon, they left the capital of Great Zhou and saw the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder.

"Have you seen everyone you needed to see?"

The Great Elder and the others didn't expect him to return so quickly.

"Let's go. If I stay any longer, I really won't want to leave..."

Jun Wuxie sighed. He knew that his state of mind was not right, that it was not conducive to cultivation, and that he was deeply entangled by emotions.

Even though he knew that his daughter was safe in the sect and would be well taken care of, he was still reluctant to leave, feeling very melancholy and reluctant.

Such a state of mind might be very normal for most fathers in the world, and there would be no problem.

But for him, it was really a problem.

In this life, the road ahead was long and arduous. He should have the courage to move forward, act decisively, and not be indecisive.

"Wuxie..."

The Great Elder looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something, but he was interrupted by him: "I know, Great Elder, don't worry."

"Then let's go back to the Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy."

The Great Elder said no more. Since Jun Wuxie had answered, he must also know his problem and would make adjustments in time.

Immediately, he tore through the void, constructed a void passage, and wrapped Jun Wuxie and Lilia as they walked in. The Second Elder and Ninth Elder also followed into the passage and disappeared outside the capital.

...

The Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy was very quiet, and everyone was cultivating in their own cave dwellings.

"You two can temporarily share a cave dwelling. The Extraterrestrial Ruins will be opened tomorrow."

The Great Elder and the others left after saying these words.

"Husband, is this the place where you usually cultivate?"

Lilia looked at the cave dwellings on Gathering Spirit Mountain. Each cave dwelling had a name engraved in front of it and the restriction was activated.

"Yes, there are no vacant cave dwellings near my cave dwelling, so you will live with me."

Jun Wuxie opened the restriction and pulled her in.

"There's someone inside?"

She was surprised to see that the restriction in the inner room was activated.

"They are my female slaves, the four guardians of Bingyun Tower."

"Ah?"

Lilia's face was blank, and she didn't react for a long time.

"You you you... took the guardians of Bingyun Tower to be your female slaves?"

She regained her senses, her face slightly red, and said angrily: "Have they all served you in bed?"

"What do you think?"

Jun Wuxie gently pinched her chin.

Lilia slightly raised her delicate face, her eyes gradually rippling with affection, and she said coquettishly: "You're bad~"

"How bad?"

"Very bad~ So bad that people miss you every day, think of you every day, but you haven't come to see me for two years..."

There was resentment in her eyes, filled with moisture.

Although she had been pregnant for the past two years, gave birth to a child, and had not met Jun Wuxie, she was willing to do everything, but sometimes when she thought about it, she still felt wronged.

"It won't happen again in the future."

Jun Wuxie felt very guilty and hugged her onto the white jade stone bed, saying: "A lot of things have happened in the past two years, and I have some good things to give you."

He took out the Lightning Tribulation Liquid, Small World Fruit, Lightning Tribulation Fruit, and Extreme Heavenly Position Semi-Saint Blood.

Silver light, green light, and red light illuminated the cave dwelling.

Listening to him explain the origin and effects of these things, Lilia was stunned and speechless.

Each of these things was a rare and hard-to-find resource!

Now, they were all in front of her.

How many opportunities had he obtained in the past two years?

"Put them away properly. When you get to the Extraterrestrial Ruins, find time to refine them. By then, your talent growth intensity should be able to enter the legendary realm."

"Husband, Ma Ben once sent a message back to the clan, saying that you fought against the Xilin army and the Soul Hunting Hall outside the capital of Great Zhou and almost died. Is it true?"

She hugged his neck tightly, her body pressed against his, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Jun Wuxie was silent for a moment, and nodded with a heavy heart.

He didn't die, but the woman he loved most died to save him, and now only a wisp of her true soul was sleeping...

"That sister named Yue Yao, she..."

"She's still here, always by my side..."

Jun Wuxie interrupted her and then told Lilia the whole story.

"Then Lilia will work hard with her husband to strive to reshape the body for Sister Yue Yao as soon as possible..."

She was very moved. That woman gave everything to the man she loved, regardless of everything.

Without her efforts, their sisters would no longer have happiness...

She shrank her body into his arms.

Jun Wuxie didn't say anything, just hugged Lilia tighter.

I don't know how long it took before his mood calmed down.

He slowly adjusted his state of mind.

At dusk, the Ninth Elder came and brought Lilia a starry sky rune communicator.

He glanced at the inner room separated by the restriction and said: "They should be about to break through, right? Remember not to let them undergo tribulation, otherwise, if they step into the Semi-Saint realm, they will not be able to enter the Extraterrestrial Ruins from our world."

"There is such a restriction?"

"This is the rule set by the Ancestral Master. Try not to destroy it if you can. Our Myriad Worlds Ancient Academy was born to cultivate young geniuses. They do not belong to the younger generation. Considering your face, letting them follow you into the Extraterrestrial Ruins is already unfair. If they cultivate into Semi-Saints and then enter, I am afraid that other geniuses will be even more dissatisfied. When the news spreads, it will become a handle for foreign domains to attack us."

"Ninth Elder, do you understand the situation inside the Extraterrestrial Ruins?"

The Ninth Elder shook his head and said: "Regarding the Extraterrestrial Ruins, we still cannot understand its full picture. Although it is only a corner of the continent that fell from the Upper Realm, it is vast and boundless, and there are multiple spaces, layer upon layer..."

"Multiple spaces?"

"That's right. The Extraterrestrial Ruins are not simply a single space. There are many secret spaces inside, hiding many different spaces. The geniuses of the past have entered, but they have not been able to see the whole picture. In those secret spaces, no one can say what exists, perhaps great dangers, or perhaps great opportunities. Also, there are natives living inside. Even though they fell into our world due to the great war of that year, and the order of heaven and earth is incomplete, they are still very fierce and powerful!"

"There are natives? That is, creatures who originally lived in the Upper Realm?"

Jun Wuxie was taken aback. This was no small matter. Creatures of different cultivation civilization levels, even if they were also human, must have huge differences.

Jun Wuxie didn't understand what the Upper Realm was like, but based on the God Ancient World where he used to be, the difference between the two was too great.

The God Ancient World, that ancient star was too vast, its gravity was ten thousand times greater than this planet, and the level of heaven and earth essence was different. The atmospheric pressure was at least ten thousand times greater, so the creatures born in the God Ancient World were countless times stronger than the creatures in this world.

The so-called strength here is only in comparison to this world.

Ordinary people in the God Ancient World are very weak there, but if they came to this world, their physical strength would probably be stronger than a Sovereign Lord!

The Upper Realm might not be as good as the God Ancient World, but creatures born there are definitely stronger than those in this world.

In short, under different living environments and different world rules, there is a huge difference in the strength of creatures at birth.

Otherwise, if people in this world were born with the physical strength and bones they have now, they would be crushed into meat paste by the gravity and atmospheric pressure in the Upper Realm or the God Ancient World, completely unable to withstand such a powerful environment and rules of heaven and earth.

"Yes," the Ninth Elder said with a solemn expression, "Those natives live inside the Holy Interruption Mountain, which is isolated from other areas. They only come out to collect resources from the outside world every long period of time. After you enter, when the number of Space Secret Realms you open reaches a certain level, the barrier of the Holy Interruption Mountain will sense it. At that time, the natives inside will come out to hunt outsiders. So before that, you must leave the Extraterritorial Ruins and return to the outside world, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"I understand."

Jun Wuxie originally thought that the dangers of the Extraterritorial Ruins only existed between the competitors of the Ancient Academy and in certain dangerous and perilous places inside, but he didn't expect that there would actually be natives.

Moreover, it seems that the natives are the biggest threat!

If they are alarmed and come out to hunt, it will indeed be difficult to deal with.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. The world of the Extraterritorial Ruins is different from our world. The rules inside are very strong. When you get there, your abilities in all aspects will be greatly weakened compared to your performance outside. I have said everything that needs to be said, and there is nothing else. Rest well. Tomorrow morning, when you hear the bell, come to the Myriad World Peak Dojo to assemble."

After the Ninth Elder finished speaking, he left.

At nightfall, the inner chamber restriction was activated, and Mu Yuning, Mu Yushu, Mu Yurou, and Mu Yuling came out together.

Their energy and spirit were much more vigorous than before, and their temperament had also undergone considerable changes.

"Master～"

They hurried to Jun Wuxie's front. Although they were still as well-behaved as before, with an inseparable attachment to him in their eyes, Jun Wuxie could feel that their state of mind was somewhat different from before.

Now, Mu Yuning, Mu Yushu, Mu Yurou, and Mu Yuling, standing in front of him, had a sense of freshness, like fairies standing in the icy and snowy land, untouched by dust, fresh and refined.

"Very good, it seems that your cultivation of the 【Ice Heart Divine Art】 has achieved some success."

"The Ice Heart Divine Art has changed us a lot, but there is one thing that will never change."

Mu Yuning and the others stared at him. They didn't say the words that followed, but he knew what they wanted to say. He couldn't help but smile, and then introduced Lilia.

They had a good attitude towards Lilia, but they were unwilling to call her Mistress, only referring to her by name.

They were willing to treat him as their master and serve him, but they might not be willing to treat his woman as their mistress.

Jun Wuxie didn't force it, not wanting to attack their Dao hearts on this point.

In any case, they were the guardians of Ice Cloud Tower, the elders of Mu Xuelan and Mu Yunxi.

… …

The next morning, the bell of the Myriad World Ancient Academy rang, loud and long, constantly echoing in the heavens and earth.

Jun Wuxie and the others walked out of the cave dwelling. Ji Yinlan, Yan Qingcheng, Mu Yunxi, and Yan Ruyu also happened to walk out of their cave dwellings. When they saw him, they came forward one after another.

He introduced Lilia to them, and then they went together towards the Myriad World Main Peak Dojo.

Throughout the entire Spirit Gathering Peak, countless figures soared into the air, like goshawks swooping towards the Myriad World Main Peak.
