#797 - He is a god in heaven

Swallowing and refining has an extremely good and rapid effect.

Jun Wuxie's realm increased at an astonishing rate during the process of swallowing the Extreme Heavenly Realm experts.

In just two days, he went from the Great Perfection of the Middle Heavenly Realm to touching the threshold of the Extreme Realm.

However, using the method of swallowing to break through to the Extreme Realm is not an easy task.

The Extreme Realm of each realm is special, and the difficulty of breaking through is very high.

At this time, he began to refine the Saint Source, using the special energy in the Saint Source to break through the barrier.

The Vermilion Bird stood beside him, watching quietly, while Lan Lan lay at her feet, looking very bored.

On this planet, the environment was harsh, and the dense atmosphere flowed very quickly, causing the entire planet to be ravaged by strong winds at all times, rolling up sand and gravel all over the sky, a gray and hazy scene.

In some areas of the planet, faint traces of the foundations of buildings could be seen, but they were very blurred.

Obviously, a civilization had once been born here, and living beings had resided here, but that was a matter of distant years ago.

The next day, Jun Wuxie's body erupted with the force of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, and golden blood energy permeated out, sweeping across all directions like golden waves, and within a radius of thousands of miles, sand, gravel, and boulders were all swept away, as if a major cleaning had taken place.

This momentum did not last too long.

When everything calmed down, his aura was much stronger than before.

"Have I stepped into the Extreme Realm like this?"

He was a little emotional, saying that cultivation is becoming more and more difficult, but for him, it is becoming easier and easier.

This may be because the path he is taking is different, and he has too many characteristics that others do not possess. It is these characteristics that enable him to constantly break the shackles of cultivation.

But on closer thought, it seems that every breakthrough is not very difficult, but in reality, if he did not have the ability to obtain those special resources, and did not have such a foundation and basis, I am afraid it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He entered the Eternal God Hall, stepped into the Tomb of Soldiers, and accepted the hammering of the will of the soldiers, tempering his body.

When he returned to the outside world, his realm was also stabilized in the hammering of the will of the soldiers, and the foundation was solid and extremely strong.

Opening his eyes and looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

When he first came here, the scene in front of him was not like this. Now the entire ground has become much lower.

He knew that it was the blood energy released during his breakthrough that swept away the very thick sand on the surface.

Unexpectedly, a large number of building foundations were exposed under the sand. Although they had been weathered beyond recognition over the years, it could be seen from them that a civilization once existed here, and there were living beings.

In those remaining architectural traces, he smelled a trace of unusual aura, the aura of the Darkest.

After a long period of time, the aura of the Darkest had not been obliterated and still remained.

He rode the air and stood above the disappeared building complex.

Judging from the scale, this should have been a huge city, which encountered a devastating disaster in the torrent of the apocalypse. Everything was submerged under the torrent of darkness, and all living beings were probably extinct, and civilization thus perished.

"If this ancient life star had not been swept away by the torrent of the apocalypse back then, and it had developed to the present day, its civilization should be very splendid, right?"

His mood was inexplicably heavy, and he thought that if the Emperor Beginning Star would also become like this in the future, how desolate it would be. On that planet, from ancient times to the present, for such a long period of time, the efforts of countless generations of living beings of various races, everything will be buried.

"What the Young Master sees is only a very small tip of the iceberg in countless universes. The era of darkness is far more cruel and desperate than the Young Master imagines."

The Vermilion Bird came to his side and said this.

"Aunt You, I don't understand, why are the creatures of the Dark Universe doing this? What good is it for them to destroy the civilization of the Bright Universe? Do they want to turn all the Bright Universes into desolate worlds?"

"Aunt You cannot solve the doubts in the Young Master's heart, because Aunt You does not know the true purpose of the Dark Universe, but they must have a plan to do this, and the plan is very big, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big move."

"If you can reach that height in the future, I believe the truth will come out naturally." Jun Wuxie shook his head, no longer entangled in these, summoned Lan Lan, rode with the Vermilion Bird, rushed out of the atmosphere, and left this ancient life star that had been annihilated in the torrent of the apocalypse.

Passing through the vast starry sky, a floating star fragment appeared in sight.

That is their second target, the relay station.

This Starry Sky Relay Station City is similar in scale to the previous Relay Station City, built in the central area of that floating continent.

The entire continent floats in the dark and cold starry sky, moving along a fixed trajectory at an extremely fast speed.

Jun Wuxie looked around. This place is located in a small and medium-sized star field. There is a star in the center, and the continent where the Relay Station City is located is rotating around the star. Its coordinates are not fixed, and they are constantly changing within a star field value.

Jun Wuxie and the others landed on that continent.

He took Lan Lan into his body, while he changed his appearance, concealing his true face, and walked towards the city side by side with the Vermilion Bird.

The scale of this city is similar to that of the previous city, but the city buildings are more impressive. There are still stern-faced soldiers guarding the city gate.

Walking into the city, the wide streets are bustling with people, more lively and prosperous than the previous city.

There are many vendors on the street setting up stalls or pushing old carts, selling basic daily necessities.

The travelers passing through the city are all cultivators with not low realms, but there are a large number of low-realm cultivators and mortals among the original inhabitants of this city.

For example, many of these stall vendors are elderly people, some with children, pushing carts and hawking along the street, dressed in simple clothes, with vicissitudes on their faces, living a life that is not very satisfactory and very difficult.

"The vicissitudes of life."

Jun Wuxie has not calmed down for a long time to walk on the street to observe the myriad phenomena of the mortal world.

He noticed that there was a grandfather and grandson in front of him. The old man held a straw target in one hand, which was full of red, bright, and crystal candied haws, and held a little girl of about five or six years old in the other, selling to passers-by.

The old man was very old, with wrinkles on his face like knife carvings, full of the wind and frost of the years, but his turbid eyes were full of hope for life.

Jun Wuxie's heart was shocked, and he was suddenly moved by such eyes.

A mortal, with little life left, can only make a living by selling candied haws, and also brings a granddaughter, but he is not decadent because of this. There is no resentment towards life in his eyes, and he always has hope and cherishes beauty.

Such a state of mind is beyond the reach of many cultivators.

The little girl was holding her grandfather's hand. Her facial features were still delicate, her face was a little sallow, her body was thin, and it was obvious that she had been malnourished for a long time. The little clothes she was wearing were patched and washed white. Her big eyes looked at the candied haws her grandfather was selling from time to time, swallowing secretly.

With just such a glance, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but stop.

The Vermilion Bird looked at the little girl, then looked at Jun Wuxie, thoughtfully.

At this moment, the past scene appeared in his mind.

That was also a little girl, wearing tattered little clothes, begging for food on the cold street, but was pushed to the ground, broke her head, and silently wiped away tears.

Such a scene is so similar to when he first met Nannan. His eyes were slightly red and his nose was sour.

Seeing him like this, the Vermilion Bird's red lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.

The Young Master has a deep and special affection for the Princess. That special experience is forever engraved in their souls. Even if the Princess is no longer the Nannan of that year, in the Young Master's heart, she is probably still the poor little one who needs people to love and care for.

She knew that, even today, the Young Master has not completely walked out of the guilt of that experience. He has always been guilty for leaving back then, so he has such a strong reaction when he sees similar scenes.

This may be a knot in his heart, or it may be the truest nature. She doesn't want to interfere, and she doesn't think it is necessary to enlighten him.

Jun Wuxie went to the nearby bank to withdraw some cash, and then walked to the old man and the little girl.

"Young Master, do you want to buy candied haws? The old man's candied haws are made from fruits he picked himself, and the sugar skin is carefully boiled. One skewer only costs two broken spirit coins. Young Master, would you like to try it?"

Seeing that the Young Master in front of him had extraordinary clothes and temperament, the old man couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and restrained, fearing that the other party would look down on the candied haws he was selling. After all, very few people with status would eat such things.

"Old man, I will buy all your candied haws."

"Ah?" The old man was stunned, and then said: "Young Master, are you serious?"

"Of course."

Jun Wuxie said with a smile.

"Oh, good, good, good." The old man counted and said: "There are thirty skewers in total, sixty broken spirit coins. The old man will pack them up for you."

He was very excited. The wrinkles on his face stretched out because of the smile. It seemed that being able to sell these candied haws was the happiest and most satisfying thing in his life.

"Old man, no need." Jun Wuxie looked at the little girl who was staring at the candied haws and swallowing, and said: "Little sister, do you want to eat candied haws? Big brother will treat you, okay?"

"Yes, yes!" The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and then she said timidly: "Big brother, are you serious?"

"Of course, it's true." Jun Wuxie took down a skewer and handed it to her, saying: "Eat it."

"Thank you, big brother ~" The little girl looked at the candied haws in front of her, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears, saying: "Xiaomo hasn't eaten candied haws for a long time. Grandpa said that candied haws have to be sold for money to buy rice and noodles, but rice and noodles are so expensive. The money Grandpa earns is only enough to buy a little bit each time. He is reluctant to eat it himself and gives it all to Xiaomo. Grandpa works the hardest."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the candied haws and swallowed hard, then handed the candied haws to the old man, saying: "Grandpa, you eat, Xiaomo suddenly doesn't like to eat candied haws ~"

"Silly child, Grandpa is old, his teeth aren't good, he can't eat sweets. You eat it."

The old man's eyes glistened with tears as he looked at his granddaughter, his eyes filled with deep self-reproach and guilt.

Jun Wuxie understood his gaze. He was blaming himself for his lack of ability, for not being able to give his granddaughter a good life, even filling her stomach was difficult.

"Xiao Mo, eat it. Your grandpa still has some here." As Jun Wuxie spoke, he took out a bag and handed it to the old man, saying, "This is the spirit currency for buying candied haws. Please keep it safe, old man, buy Xiao Mo something good to eat, buy some new clothes."

The old man took the bag, opened it, and was immediately shocked. He hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to return the bag to him: "Young master, you've given too much! These candied haws of mine aren't even worth a single spirit currency. There must be tens of thousands of spirit currency in here!"

He was truly frightened. He had never seen so much money in his life. The spirit currency in the bag were all worth one hundred spirit currency each, a full bag!

"Please accept it. To you, candied haws are worthless, but to me, they are worth a fortune."

Jun Wuxie took down two skewers from the grass target and said, "These two skewers of candied haws are worth this much money. Please don't decline."

"Thank you, young master!"

The old man pulled the little girl down to kneel and kowtowed to him repeatedly.

Jun Wuxie quickly helped them up: "Don't do this, please get up."

The old man only felt an irresistible force lifting him and his granddaughter up. When he raised his head, the young master before him had already disappeared.

"Grandpa, that big brother must be a god from heaven sent to help us, right?"

The little girl's eyes were bright and innocent as she spoke.

"Xiao Mo is right, he is a god from heaven..."

The old man's eyes welled up with tears as he weighed the money bag in his hand. It was heavy, making him feel very unreal. He never dreamed that he would meet such a kind benefactor.
