#683 - Departure and return

Although Jun Wuxie was already confident, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he finally received the Unicorn King's response.

The noble Unicorns had finally compromised, yielding to the cruel reality and their aspirations for the future development of their race.

He opened the Eternal Divine Palace, allowing the souls of the Unicorns to temporarily leave their bodies.

Over a million Unicorns lay on the ground, separating their souls from their physical forms.

Those young beasts were unable to separate on their own, so the Beast King and the leaders stepped in to separate their souls.

"Human youth, the time our souls are separated from our bodies cannot be too long. The longer the time, the greater the damage to our bodies. It must not exceed five days at most."

The Unicorn King said this to him before separating his soul.

Jun Wuxie nodded, indicating that he knew his limits and would strictly control the time.

Waiting for the Unicorn King's soul to also separate from his body, he used the Eternal Divine Palace to take all the souls and bodies of the Unicorns into it, and then quickly left this different space.

"Little brother, how is it? When will it succeed?"

The Three Great Beast Kings were waiting outside the Gate of Space. They already knew his plan, but now it had been more than a month, and there seemed to be no progress?

"Let's go. You guys immediately go and gather your clans."

Jun Wuxie's face was full of smiles.

"Ah? Gather the clan for what? Did you give up on the Unicorns?"

"It seems you have already succeeded..." Ling Qingyu walked forward with a smile and said, "Where are those Unicorns? Such a huge number, more than a million, are they all in that mysterious artifact space?"

"Yes, I asked them to separate their souls from their bodies. Now they are all in that space, so we have to hurry up and not let their souls and bodies be separated for too long."

"You... you really succeeded?"

The Three Great Beast Kings looked at him in shock. That was a full million Unicorns!

What an astonishing number! It was simply unimaginable!

Those million Unicorns were all of Divine Beast level bloodlines. If their bloodlines gradually awakened in the future, they would be terrifyingly strong. If they could grow to their highest limit, what would it be like? Just thinking about it made them feel suffocated!

"Of course I succeeded. Now immediately gather your clans and follow me. When we get to our world, I have a very good environment to provide for you. At that time, you will also have a stable environment to reproduce, and strive to increase the number of your clans as soon as possible. However, you must not hunt living beings for food at will!"

"Don't worry about this. Although we are beast clans, we are all cultivating beings. Unlike Unicorns, we don't have to rely solely on food to grow, as long as there is Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi."

"Our world doesn't have Yuan Qi, only Spiritual Qi, but the quality of Spiritual Qi is very high, much better than the environment here."

The Three Great Beast Kings nodded and quickly left, returning to their respective territories, issuing roars that shook the mountains and rivers, summoning their clans.

Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu rode on Lan Lan and followed.

After the Three Great Beast Kings had gathered their clans, he asked them to separate their souls and bodies, put them into the Eternal Divine Palace, and then used the rune imprints given to them by the Elder of the Eternal Ancient Academy to communicate with the exit node, determined the direction, and sped away.

His Cave Heaven could actually hold these beast groups. The space inside the Cave Heaven was very huge, but the more he loaded, the more weight he would bear himself, and the more he would be affected by the order of this world, which would affect his speed.

Activating the Swift Travel Talisman and blessing Lan Lan, it ran like lightning.

Along the way, Ling Qingyu was very silent, seeming to have low spirits.

Jun Wuxie talked to her several times, but she was uninterested, rarely spoke, and was absent-minded, as if she had something on her mind.

"Little girl, your emotions are not right?"

"I'm fine."

Ling Qingyu opened her mouth calmly, her voice slightly cold, completely different from her appearance when she had completely relaxed these days.

"This looks like you're fine?"

Jun Wuxie stretched his head forward and looked at her facial expression. Her beautiful moth eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously in a bad mood.

Ling Qingyu was silent and did not respond.

Jun Wuxie stopped speaking.

Due to the blessing of the Swift Travel Talisman, coupled with Lan Lan's own speed, they arrived at their destination on the morning of the fourth day.

There was an ancient teleportation altar here, weathered by the years, with some shallow cracks on the surface.

"This is it..."

Jun Wuxie looked back at this broken world. He had been here for more than half a year, and he was finally going back to his world.

He stretched out his palm and injected blood energy into the rune imprint in his palm.

The Elders of the Eternal Ancient Academy guarding the outer passage felt it and immediately began to communicate the power of space teleportation.

The runes on the old altar here began to light up, the light becoming more and more intense, and many runes diffused out, constructing a space gate in the center of the altar.

"Lan Lan, let's go!"

"Wait..."

Ling Qingyu interrupted him and jumped off Lan Lan's back.

Jun Wuxie was stunned and said, "Little girl, aren't you going to our world?"

Along the way, Ling Qingyu had not mentioned returning to the Upper Realm, and followed him to the exit. He thought she was planning to go to the Lower Realm with him.

"If I go to the Lower Realm, I will not be able to open the Realm Road and return to the Upper Realm. My means of returning to the Upper Realm can only connect the Upper Realm with this broken small world, with special targeting..."

"Then you still followed me all the way to the exit..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw anger appear in Ling Qingyu's eyes, but then the anger disappeared. She stared at him quietly with her deep eyes, then took out a jade pendant from her neck and said, "Take it. In the future, when you arrive in the Upper Realm, holding it will allow you to enter my Demon Clan's ancestral land, and no one will make things difficult for you."

Jun Wuxie looked at the jade in his hand, a heart-shaped purple jade, carved with a blue luan, lifelike. His palm could still feel the faint warmth from her body on the jade.

"Little girl..."

Jun Wuxie got off Lan Lan's back. He could feel that she seemed to have a sense of sadness at parting in her heart.

At this moment, he also had such emotions in his heart.

He and Ling Qingyu had traveled together in this world for half a year. The two had experienced many things together, and they had unknowingly become accustomed to each other's presence.

Now that they were suddenly about to separate, and it was not known when they would meet again, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Bad egg, keep it safe, don't lose it." Ling Qingyu's clear eyes had obvious emotional fluctuations. "The Upper Realm is vast and boundless. The ancient life star we are on is many times larger than the ancient life star you live on. Although the cultivators from your Lower Realm will inevitably appear on our ancient life star when they come to the Upper Realm, it is difficult to say which area of our ancient star you will go to in the future. In short, when you arrive in the Upper Realm, you must be careful and cautious in everything. If you reach a desperate situation, you can use the jade I gave you to seek help from the people of the Demon Clan."

"Okay, I know." Jun Wuxie slowly held the jade in his hand and said, "How big is your ancient star?"

"Our ancient star has five realms in the east, west, north, and middle, occupying three-tenths of the entire star's area, and the rest are sea areas. The five realms are vast. If teleportation arrays are not used, even cultivators in the Saint Realm would find it difficult to leave one realm in their entire lives!"

"What?"

Jun Wuxie was dumbfounded. It was so vast and boundless?

"Our unit of distance is different from your Lower Realm. The distance between the five realms is not measured in li, but in light-years. The farthest edge of one realm is about ten light-years away from the border of the adjacent realm, not counting the sea area, only the land, which is about 1.9 million trillion li."

Jun Wuxie: ...

So big?

It was simply so big that it was beyond imagination, meaning that even if a cultivator's speed reached the speed of light, it would take ten years to cross one realm?

Because many of his previous memories had not returned, he had no memory or concept of how big his past life in the Divine Ancient World was.

Now, hearing that an ancient life star in the Upper Realm was so huge, it was simply shocking and beyond imagination!

"Is every star in your Upper Realm universe so huge?"

Ling Qingyu shook her head and said, "Only some ancient life stars are so huge. Naturally formed ancient life stars are not so large. Legend has it that these special ancient life stars are all the works of the supreme powerhouses of endless years ago. Otherwise, such a star's own gravity would be enough to collapse it into a cosmic black hole, and it would be impossible for living beings to reproduce and live on it, after all, we also have ordinary people in our world. But the physical strength of ordinary people is no weaker than the Star Realm cultivators there. Therefore, the physical bodies of people in the Upper Realm in the same realm are stronger than those in your Lower Realm. Only you, this pervert, your physical body in the same realm is probably a hundred times stronger than the people in our Upper Realm..."

Jun Wuxie was slightly silent, and then said, "How strong are the rules of your Upper Realm universe?"

"A hundred times, a thousand times stronger than your Lower Realm. In your Lower Realm, the Holy Sect should be able to cause terrible destructive power, moving mountains and destroying cities are all between the hands. But in our Upper Realm, even a cultivator like me would find it difficult to destroy a mountain more than 300 meters high. Because all objects there, except for cultivation resources, whether it is rock or soil, this conventional material, is countless times more solid than your Lower Realm. If it is moved to your Lower Realm, the same object would weigh at least a thousand times more than in your Lower Realm."

...

Jun Wuxie was deeply shocked. The Upper Realm was originally such a world, so different compared to the Lower Realm.

"Bad egg, remember my words, if you arrive in the Upper Realm, you must accumulate resources as soon as possible, and you must save enough resources to use the ancient teleportation array of the Upper Realm, otherwise, I don't know when you will be able to come to my Demon Clan's ancestral land. If you cultivate in my Demon Clan, you have a backer, you have resources, and you can avoid a lot of trouble."

"Okay, I know."

Jun Wuxie took out the resources he had obtained from the Han clan and piled them up like a mountain, saying, "Since you can't go to our lower realm, let's divide these resources now."

"Divide what? These resources are all yours. They're useless to me. With my realm, I need Saint-grade resources."

"You really don't want them?"

"No."

Ling Qingyu shook her head, then suddenly stepped forward and bit his arm hard.

Hiss—

Jun Wuxie felt a sharp pain. He could feel Ling Qingyu's teeth sinking deep into his flesh, biting very deeply.

His physical body was extremely strong and tough, but it couldn't withstand Ling Qingyu's teeth. Her realm was too high, and her physical body was even stronger than his.

However, he didn't struggle. His face initially twitched slightly from the pain, but soon a smile appeared, and he reached out to stroke her smooth, silky hair.

She bit him for a long time without letting go.

A full quarter of an hour passed before she released him, her sensual and charming lips stained with golden blood.

"When we meet again in the future, I want to see my teeth marks. This is the price for you bullying me these days! Also, when we meet in the Upper Realm, I want to see the divine artifact that you've been hiding and refusing to show me!"

After she finished speaking, she gazed at him deeply with her clear and beautiful eyes. Just as he was about to speak, she resolutely turned around and instantly disappeared into the distance.

"Little minx! Take care!"

Jun Wuxie shouted loudly at her departing figure.

Ling Qingyu's figure paused slightly.

"You bad seed, take care…"

She murmured softly, her voice very light, then quickly left and disappeared.

Jun Wuxie stood in front of the altar, quietly watching the direction she disappeared in, and only retracted his gaze after a long time.

"One day, we will meet again in the Upper Realm."

He clenched the jade in his hand, carefully storing it away, then rode Lan Lan, walked onto the altar, and entered the gate of light to leave this place.
