#912 - It may not be what you think

“Actually, you don't have to care about the torrent of the apocalypse. I can get Aunt Jing to agree to take you and the people around you to the upper realm. When the time comes, you can all join our lineage of the demon race to cultivate.”

Ling Qingyu tentatively made this suggestion.

“I can't leave.”

Jun Wuxie refused. If he left, the lower realm universe would be completely without hope.

“In this special era, you only need to protect the people around you. Why do you have to be the savior? Do you really think you are omnipotent?”

Jun Wuxie shook his head: “Let’s not talk about whether your Aunt Jing would agree. Even if she did, would that Saint Son Teng and that Uncle Ran agree? If we were to go to the upper realm with you, would Saint Son Teng just watch us all join your lineage?”

“I… I won’t let him succeed…”

Ling Qingyu's words lacked confidence.

After all, if that were the case, it would be impossible to absorb everyone into their lineage. At that time, the elders of the clan would definitely intervene.

“Then… you should also find a way to go to the upper realm yourself.”

She gave up the idea of ​​Jun Wuxie taking the people around him to the upper realm with her. She was too anxious before and didn't think it through. Now that she thinks about it, it won't work. It will only send some people into Saint Son Teng's lineage, which is tantamount to stepping into the abyss.

“I will naturally go to the upper realm. Speaking of this, I was just about to ask you, how did people from the lower realm ascend in the past?”

“Regarding the matter of ascension, I heard that it always happens during the dark invasion. A major invasion occurs every era, and there are more than ten minor invasions. Each time dark creatures invade the lower realm, it may cause certain spatial nodes between the lower realm and the upper realm to become unstable, thereby creating a one-way world passage. At that time, if you are lucky enough to see that passage, a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Extreme Heaven Realm can ascend to the upper realm through that passage.”

“Are there fixed spatial nodes?”

“Yes, some forces in our upper realm have locked onto certain areas. During every dark age, some people from the lower realm will ascend to that area. But this apocalypse may be different. The dark invasion will be more violent, and new spatial nodes may appear, areas unknown to the people of the upper realm.”

“That’s good. When the darkness comes and the spatial nodes appear, I will send them to the upper realm.”

“What about you?”

“Me? I’ll see how things go then.”

Jun Wuxie gave a vague answer.

Ling Qingyu was silent and said nothing more.

She understood the character of this scoundrel. Once he made a decision, nothing could change his mind. She was powerless to persuade or change him.

“Little girl, promise me one thing. In the future, in the upper realm, if you encounter my people, try to help them conceal their origins. If they encounter danger, I hope you can provide appropriate protection within your ability.”

“I promise you. Now that the golden age of the upper realm has arrived, many secret realms and secret lands have appeared one after another. An era full of opportunities has begun. You also need to go to the upper realm as soon as possible to compete for more rare resources in the golden age and grow quickly…”

“When are you planning to return to the upper realm?”

“That depends on when Sister Qingcheng leaves with us, but it will be at least two months later. Because the world passage we opened will maintain one-way traffic to the lower realm for two months, and after two months it will become one-way traffic to the upper realm.”

“Why not open a two-way passage?”

“The cost of that is too great, and even a force like our demon race cannot afford it easily. One-way is not bad. Problems can be completely solved in two months, and within these two months, if you encounter trouble, you can continue to send people to the lower realm.”

Speaking of this, she looked at him with a very serious look and said: “That Saint Son Teng, don’t be angry with him, it’s not worth it. Avoid conflicts with him, which will bring you trouble.”

“It depends on whether he will take the initiative to provoke me. Just like before, that guy was warning me overtly and covertly. Do you think I can not fight back?”

“Anyway, you can’t have physical conflicts with him!”

“What’s your relationship?”

Jun Wuxie looked at her with a smile.

“He is the Saint Son of the Demon Race, and I am the Saintess of the Demon Race, each belonging to a different lineage. There is no other relationship besides that.”

“But he doesn’t seem to think so.”

Ling Qingyu frowned slightly and said: “What he thinks has nothing to do with me, and I don’t care, I don’t care, but you can’t think wildly, I have nothing to do with him! Nothing!”

“Okay, okay, you don’t need to be so excited, do you?”

“I…”

Ling Qingyu's face was slightly red, and she defended: “I’m not excited at all. You’re talking nonsense and annoying me!”

“Also, what I said just now, you must remember, don’t conflict with Saint Son Teng. That Uncle Ran beside him is very terrifying. Even if he is suppressed in this lower realm, you are no match for him!”

Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes and said: “I can see that he is a Myth, and your Aunt Jing is also a Myth, but listening to you, that Uncle Ran’s level in the Myth realm should not be low.”

“Seventh Heaven of the Myth Realm! A great master of the Holy Emperor Realm. His ancestor was a primordial giant boa that transformed into a demon. His physical body is very powerful, so among Myths, those of the same realm are all good at fighting!”

“That is indeed a remarkable powerhouse…” Jun Wuxie was a little shocked. He didn’t expect that Uncle Ran’s talent and growth intensity had reached this point. His physical body was also very strong, which meant that his sublimation forbidden technique had a much higher superimposed multiple than Myths with relatively weak physical bodies.

Such a person is indeed a threat to him.

In this way, that Aunt Jing is probably also a powerhouse of this level.

“Are there many people in the Myth realm in your upper realm?”

“Not many.” Ling Qingyu shook her head, “But the upper realm is vast, with numerous sects and powerful bloodline inheritances. There will always be some Myth powerhouses. If we talk about the number of Myths, there are quite a few, after all, the base of cultivators is huge. If we talk about the proportion, it is extremely low.”

“That’s right.”

Jun Wuxie responded somewhat absentmindedly.

He was thinking about that Uncle Ran.

Seventh Heaven of the Myth Realm, with a strong physical body. Even if such a person's realm is suppressed to the pinnacle of the Extreme Heaven Realm, it is still a great threat to him.

With his current level of the First Heaven of Myth, if he were to face that Uncle Ran, he would have no hope of winning. Even if he sublimated to the extreme, there would still be a big gap in strength.

First Heaven of Myth and Seventh Heaven of Myth, just talking about the difference in talent growth intensity, the Second Heaven is twice that of the First Heaven, the Third Heaven is twice that of the Second Heaven, and so on, that is sixty-four times!

As long as that Uncle Ran can use the forbidden technique to sublimate and superimpose to a hundred times the increase, then he will completely overpower his strongest state of extreme sublimation.

In summary, this person is currently invincible!

“Scoundrel…”

“Huh?”

Jun Wuxie’s thoughts were interrupted.

“Where is your artifact dagger? Quickly take it out and let me see.”

Ling Qingyu's eyes flashed with curiosity. These days after returning to the upper realm, she always thinks of the artifact that this scoundrel hides and won't let her see.

Every time she wanted to see it before, the scoundrel always made excuses to hide it. The more he did this, the more curious she became and the more she wanted to see it.

What kind of artifact is it that he needs to be so protective of?

She remembered that when they were riding together, that scoundrel would always poke her with the artifact from time to time, and said that the artifact was sometimes out of control.

How could one's own weapon be out of control?

She thought about it again and again, and felt that this scoundrel must have deliberately stabbed her with the artifact, just to tease her.

“Artifact dagger?” Jun Wuxie was a little dazed, thought about it, and suddenly remembered, the muscles on his face twitched fiercely twice, and said: “The artifact is currently in a state of dormancy, I can’t take it out.”

“Are you lying to me again?” Ling Qingyu didn’t believe him. This guy is too bad and always likes to tease her. She directly reached out to him and said: “You scoundrel, quickly take it out and let this Saintess see it. You promised, do you want to break your promise?”

“I already said, the artifact is dormant…”

Jun Wuxie opened his mouth and said it, mainly because his artifact can't be shown either.

“Even if it’s dormant, take it out. I have a way to wake it up!”

“I really can’t take it out…”

Jun Wuxie was really helpless…

“Miser, I’ll find it myself!”

Ling Qingyu pounced directly on him and touched him everywhere.

The intoxicating fragrance hit him, and the softness of the body contact made him feel turbulent between his chest and abdomen, and he pushed her away suddenly and ran away in embarrassment.

Because, he found that the artifact was starting to recover, and if he didn't run, something big might happen.

“Hey! Scoundrel, you are untrustworthy, you’re making me angry!”

Ling Qingyu stomped her feet angrily. Compared with her usual cold and quiet temperament, she had a bit more charming and naive charm.

Jun Wuxie had already run away.

“Let you hide it, I’ll ask Sister Qingcheng, she must know the artifact you’re hiding…”

Ling Qingyu smiled triumphantly. With Yan Qingcheng's relationship with that scoundrel, she should know.

Jun Wuxie landed in a mountain range thousands of miles away from Zongwang Mountain, slightly panting.

“I’m invincible even when pushing across the starry sky, I didn’t even pant when fighting in groups, but today I lost to a little girl…”

He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and was quite speechless for a while.

If he had known, he should have changed to a kind lie, but he had to say something about the artifact.

That little girl happened to keep thinking about it, it was really his own fault.

“I have to send them to the Dragon Nest first, I can’t delay the progress because of the upper realm envoy…”

Jun Wuxie summoned the Primordial Avatar and asked the avatar to take Long Yu to the imperial capital.

Now, everyone is here, just waiting for him to take everyone on the journey.

He released his divine thoughts to inform Lingfei and Ji Yinlan and others.

When the women received the divine thought transmission, they quickly went to the gathering area of ​​the imperial capital.

…

In a room in the small courtyard in front of Zongwang Mountain, Ling Qingyu was pulling Yan Qingcheng and talking in whispers.

“What artifact dagger? I don’t know.”

Yan Qingcheng looked puzzled and didn’t know what Ling Qingyu was referring to.

“Aren't you his imperial concubine? How could you not know?”

Ling Qingyu naturally didn't believe it and immediately recounted what she knew, “So, Sister Qingcheng, don't lie to me. I know he has it.”

“Sister Qingyu, this… it might not be what you think…”

Yan Qingcheng's expression was quite interesting. After listening to Ling Qingyu's detailed description, she finally understood, and her eyes became somewhat ambiguous.

“Then what is it? That scoundrel is hiding it so carefully; there's definitely a problem. Otherwise, why doesn't he dare to show it to me? He even lied to me, saying the divine artifact was dormant. I asked him to take it out so I could help him awaken it, but he actually ran away.”

“Of course, he would run.”

Yan Qingcheng blinked her enchanting purple eyes, saying with a hint of deeper meaning.

“Could it be he's afraid I'll swallow his divine artifact?”

Ling Qingyu was very dissatisfied, letting out a delicate snort.

“Whether you'll swallow his divine artifact, I don't know, but I do know he's afraid the divine artifact will hurt you, and also afraid you'll break his divine artifact, resulting in a lose-lose situation…”

Ling Qingyu frowned, saying blankly, “Why do I understand less and less? Why would I break his divine artifact, and why would that divine artifact hurt me?”

Yan Qingcheng's eyes became even more ambiguous, and she leaned close to Ling Qingyu's ear, explaining in a low voice.

Ling Qingyu's delicate, fair face quickly flushed red, and then she let out a sharp scream.

“Qingyu, what's wrong?”

The elegant and beautiful woman outside instantly rushed in, only to see Ling Qingyu, her face completely red, looking at Yan Qingcheng with ambiguous eyes.

“Ah? It's nothing, Aunt Jing, I'm fine.”

Ling Qingyu hurriedly walked out of the room, stroking her cheeks as she walked, feeling them burning hot.

She gritted her teeth in anger.

Too hateful!

That scoundrel!

Thinking of how she had repeatedly demanded the divine artifact and the words she had used at the time, she couldn't help but feel frantic!

Too embarrassing, too shameful!

“Giggle, Sister Qingyu, if you want it, I don't mind sharing with you~”

Yan Qingcheng laughed very unrestrainedly, covering her red lips, doubling over with laughter. When she passed by Ling Qingyu, she even playfully winked at her.

“Sister Qingcheng!”

Ling Qingyu covered her face with both hands, feeling like she had no face to see anyone. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She was now filled with regret, regretting why she had asked Yan Qingcheng. If she hadn't asked, no one would have known about such an embarrassing thing.

“Scoundrel, scoundrel, it's all that scoundrel's fault, so embarrassing…”

She held her cheeks, feeling the burning heat on her face linger.

The elegant and beautiful woman stood in the small courtyard, watching her back, her eyes thoughtful.

“No, that scoundrel bullied me; I can't just let him off like this!”

Ling Qingyu was very angry now, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. As she thought, she headed towards the imperial capital.

Just then, a powerful aura rapidly approached the Immortal Execution Dynasty, causing her to suddenly stop and look towards the distant sky.

There were two streams of light that instantly arrived outside the Immortal Execution Dynasty, only to be bounced back by the barrier.

The golden barrier flowed with golden water-like energy, and dragon energy steamed above the mountains and rivers, the dragon's roar shaking the land.

“People from the Heavenly Purity Holy Sect!”

Ling Qingyu couldn't bother to be angry anymore, her expression solemn.

The scoundrel's enemies had come. Currently, there were only two young prodigies. When the others arrived one after another, a crisis would also arrive.

“Qingyu, what do you want to do?”

The elegant and beautiful woman suddenly appeared beside her, her slender jade hand firmly grasping her arm, saying, “You must not interfere in their affairs. You are the Holy Maiden; do you want to make enemies for our demon race? It's not just one or two forces that want to deal with him. If you act recklessly, the balance between our two demon race factions will be broken, and your father's situation will become very passive, and he might even be impeached because of it.”

Ling Qingyu slowly clenched her hands, then slowly released them again, finally sighing, saying, “Aunt Jing, don't worry, I won't interfere.”

“It's good that you know. As the demon race's Holy Maiden, your actions represent the entire demon race. You must think thrice before acting.”

The elegant and beautiful woman looked indifferently at the distant sky. She didn't care about the survival of the Immortal Execution Dynasty; what she cared about was the interests of the demon race, the rise and fall of their faction.
