After they had taken their revenge, Shou Xun and Shou Liang immediately led their race members back to the western wilderness, and they kept shouting about their success in eliminating those heretics, which quickly spread throughout the western region.
While many western residents rejoiced, others were terrified, particularly because they had a connection to them and feared that those people would attack them.
Bai Lanhua then ordered the cultivators of the Holy Moon City to immediately return to their city, and those people brought the corpses of Mo Tianxie and the others with them to show to the people in their city as proof of their success. In addition, she instructed her four aides to go to the other three regions, disseminating the news of the defeat of their long-standing enemies.
Bai Lanhua herself did not immediately return to her city; she kept standing in the air as her eyes watched the ruins and corpses scattered in the area.
Xiao Shijian entered the Tianyi Realm and informed Chen Li of the sect's destruction, but he was not too interested in it, especially since his mind was preoccupied by matters in the Azure Mystic Realm, particularly the darkness that Xiao Hei had discovered on the Ancient King Island.
Xiao Hei decided not to return to the northern region, especially since the darkness that invaded the qi veins in the Seven Moon Realm kept returning. She had to absorb it continuously so that it would not leak out and affect the cultivators in the realm, which would be very dangerous if they went berserk due to its influence.
After that day, the situation in the Seven Moon Realm became more secure and controlled, but it would not last long because there was a danger that was heading towards the realm from outer space, which was related to the darkness. Unfortunately, no one was aware of it, including Xiao Shijian.
"What are you thinking?"
Xuanyuan Lingyan, who was daydreaming at the stern, was startled to hear that. She immediately turned to Chen Li, but her expression slightly changed as she recalled the incident inside the ruins. She clearly remembered that Qin Qingshuang had stripped her naked, and she was certain that he had seen her body.
"You're right about that." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Lingyan was shocked to hear that from Chen Li's mouth, and she immediately turned her embarrassed face to the side. 'Is he a psychic? How could he know what I was thinking?'
Xuanyuan Lingyan let out a soft sigh before turning to Chen Li again. "Anyway, I haven't thanked you for the previous incident, so I want to thank you for saving me from the remnants of that woman's soul."
"Forget it—you shouldn't remember that incident anymore." Chen Li then stood beside Xuanyuan Lingyan, holding on to the side of the flying artifact with his hands. "This realm is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Lingyan responded by looking at the beautiful scenery below them. "This realm is much larger and more beautiful than the Seven Moon Realm, but I was born and grew up there, so I miss it, even though we just arrived here today. However, I am not in a hurry to go home, and I want to go through new adventures in this realm to temper myself so that the same incident will not happen to me again."
Chen Li nodded repeatedly to Xuanyuan Lingyan. Above the sky is still the sky, and there are many stronger cultivators than us, so you can't stop them from hurting you. However, you are right if you think that way, especially since strength is everything. In addition to strength, it's crucial to possess a strong mindset and a heart as resilient as steel. If you're strong and mentally tough but have a soft heart, you'll suffer like me in the past."
"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Lingyan immediately glanced at Chen Li with curiosity, and she was filled with numerous questions about him, particularly regarding his relationship with her ancestor, Xuanyuan Lanyin.
However, Xuanyuan Lingyan was shocked when Chen Li suddenly transformed into Emperor Long, especially since the aura emanating from his body became much stronger and more dignified than his usual self. "As you may have guessed, this is my form in my past life, and my past name was Long Wang, which I intentionally used again in this life."
"Who exactly are you? How did you know my ancestor?" Xuanyuan Lingyan decided to ask a few questions that were bothering her.
"I am Long Wang, and I was the former emperor of the Five Divine Heavens. As for Xuanyuan Lanyin, it was me and Xian'er who brought her and her Xuanyuan Clan to the Seven Moon Realm, and I took them away to a higher realm a few hundred years later." After hearing Chen Li's answer, Xuanyuan Lingyan's eyes widened in shock, and her lower jaw dropped open. "Back then, I had both a strong mindset and unparalleled strength, but my heart was too soft, and I always thought about the lives of everyone in this universe. In the end, the person I once saved betrayed me, and my weakness led to the loss of many loyal friends and family members. Many of them died at the hands of those traitors, and many of them fell into their hands, like your ancestor."
Seeing Chen Li's sad expression, Xuanyuan Lingyan felt at a loss for what to say to him, and she asked something else. "Do you think Ancestor Lanyin is really still alive?"
"Yes." Chen Li then faced Xuanyuan Lingyan while returning to his original form. "Xuanyuan Lanyin is one of the strongest, and those traitors won't be able to kill her, so I'm sure she's still alive now. Anyway, her heart is much harder than mine, and she never cares about anyone else except for herself and her clan; she is also completely loyal to me. If you want to avoid a similar situation in the future and avoid facing the same fate as me, you should learn to fortify your heart like her."
Chen Li stopped Xuanyuan Lingyan with a shake of her head. "It's true that some individuals are deserving of a second chance, yet the intricacies of human nature often elude us, leaving us uncertain about their innermost thoughts. Back then, I saved Tian Shiwang because I felt that he was worth saving, but he turned out to have a dark heart, and he led those people to rebel against me by collaborating with an evil race. That's why I don't want to make the same mistake again in this life, and I will no longer be concerned about the fate of others. If they must die, then that is their fate, and I will not soften my heart to save them. Likewise, with the enemies who stand in my path, I will kill all of them who disturb my life or those closest
"Then why did you save me and the others from that ruin?" Xuanyuan Lingyan inquired with raised eyebrows, especially since Chen Li's actions contradicted his statement.
"I saved you because you are Xuanyuan Lanyin's direct descendant, and you share many similarities with her. Moreover, your ancestor helped me a lot in the past, so I chose to save you." Chen Li's answer stunned Xuanyuan Lingyan. "Even so, I will not hesitate to kill her descendants if they become my enemies, like Xuanyuan Jingtian. As for those disciples, I don't really care about them. If the person who kidnapped them is different from the person who kidnapped you, I will definitely not waste my time trying to save them. Fortunately, there was only one perpetrator, so they are lucky to be alive now."
After she said that, Chen Li immediately left the place, causing Xuanyuan Lingyan to sigh to herself, and she then looked up at the clear sky above as she kept wondering to herself. "Is my ancestor really that kind of person? Is that the reason she could become powerful? How can I become as powerful as her? Do I have to harden my heart like she does?"
Chen Li had arrived at his room, and Feng Xian'er was waiting for him. "I have told Lingyan as you wished, but I am not sure that she will be able to do it, especially since her heart is much
softer than mine in the past."
"Haha." Feng Xian'er laughed softly and pulled her husband to sit beside her. "I'm sure Lingyan understands your words, but we can only wait for time to give an answer, and she will be as strong or even stronger than Xuanyuan Lanyin if she can really do it." Chen Li nodded in agreement with his wife. "I hope Lingyan can surpass her ancestor, especially since so much time has passed, and those people must have become stronger now,
so we need many strong cultivators to help us."
"How about we enter the Tianyi Realm to dual-cultivate?" Chen Li would naturally not refuse any of his wives' requests, especially Feng Xian'er. "However, I just want to be alone with you this time, and we'll do it for about a month."
Chen Li amusedly smiled at Feng Xian'er's mischievous smile, so he left a message for Xue Lan and the others before bringing his first wife to the pagoda, where they began their non-
stop dual cultivation.
