Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Hearing Fan Yin's voice, the nine direct disciples all became obedient, even the female disciples shrinking their necks, showing great awe towards her.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but feel surprised at their reaction.

He remembered that these disciples used to bicker with Little Fan Yin when they were young, and they didn't seem to be afraid of her back then.

Even if they understood the importance of seniority after growing up, they shouldn't be this afraid, right?

Could it be that Little Fan Yin's temperament had changed drastically over the years, becoming particularly violent, and she had severely punished them before?

Jun Wuxie had such thoughts in his mind, but no matter how he looked at Little Fan Yin, she didn't seem like a violent woman at all, but rather like a fairy walking out of a painting. Every step she took left behind purple-white lotus petals, truly living up to the name 'one step, one lotus flower'.

"Senior Brother ~"

Facing Jun Wuxie, Fan Yin's tone instantly took a 180-degree turn, completely losing the sternness and blame she had when facing Jun Ye and the others, instantly transforming into a delicate young girl.

"Little Fan Yin."

Jun Wuxie's lips curled up slightly. Even after so many years, and even though Little Fan Yin had grown up, whenever he saw her, his mind would still conjure up the image of that one-year-old girl, dangling a small milk bottle from her mouth, fluttering her big eyes, and wobbling towards him, wanting him to hold her.

Therefore, the smile on his face and even his eyes gradually developed a sense of doting.

Seeing the change in his expression and the doting in his eyes, Fan Yin pouted her charming red lips slightly, as if feeling very aggrieved, and ran towards him directly, leaving behind purple-white energy lotus petals along the way.

Senior Brother had been back for so long, but she hadn't had a chance to be alone with him. He was always surrounded by a large number of people.

She practically flew into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, lifting her feet off the ground, and raising them behind her.

"Little Fan Yin, come down quickly. There are still disciples here. What kind of decorum is this? You're so old now."

Jun Wuxie was speechless, not expecting her to act like this.

"I don't want to ~ Senior Brother hasn't held me in so many years ~"

She was still as attached to his embrace as she was when she was young, still liked to be close to him, liked to snuggle up to him.

"I really envy Martial Aunt Fan Yin…"

Although Jun Leng'er's voice was cold, her words were full of envy, envious that Martial Aunt could be so close to Master, while they didn't dare, fearing offending Master.

"Hmph, it's just that Master is partial ~"

Jun Nian'er and the others pouted, their expressions somewhat aggrieved.

"Yes, Master is partial, I really envy Martial Aunt Fan Yin…"

Jun Bai said this, and immediately received surprised looks from Jun Nian'er and the others. The four female disciples all despised him, "Do you also want to hang on Master like Martial Aunt Fan Yin?"

"Why can't I?"

Jun Bai replied with confidence.

"You're a man!"

Jun Wan'er reminded Jun Bai very seriously, "Think about that scene, don't you think it's a little… something?"

When Jun Wan'er said this, she deliberately made a chilling, unbearable expression.

"Fourth Senior Sister, your thoughts are impure!"

Jun Bai's face turned red, causing the others to laugh out loud.

"What's in your heads?"

Jun Wuxie naturally heard it and glared at the disciples, "After listening to your Martial Aunt Jingya's lecture, have you all understood it? Don't you know to properly cultivate in seclusion and comprehend, what are you thinking about all day long?"

"Isn't it all learned from you, Master…"

Jun Nian'er muttered in a low voice.

"Nian'er, what did you say?"

Jun Wuxie naturally heard clearly and was almost angered.

He discovered that among his nine disciples, the four female disciples were the boldest. They had actually learned to talk back to him in front of him?

"Nian'er said to keep Master's teachings in mind, Nian'er will go into seclusion to cultivate now…"

Jun Nian'er left very unwillingly.

"Master, then we will also take our leave."

The other disciples saw that Master seemed a little unhappy, and since Martial Aunt Fan Yin was here, it wouldn't do to continue lingering.

"You've actually learned to talk back?"

Jun Wuxie carried Fan Yin to the bluestone and sat down, letting go of her, and said, "Little Fan Yin, shouldn't you let go of Senior Brother? You've already grown up. It's not good to be so clingy to Senior Brother. Where have you ever seen such a big girl still crawling into her Senior Brother's arms? How will you ever get married like this?"

"Who… who wants to get married? Even if I were to marry, I would only marry Senior Brother ~"

She gently bit her soft, charming lips, gazing at him with her beautiful eyes.

Jun Wuxie's gaze met her eyes, and in that instant, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He felt that the gaze in those eyes was particularly clear, the light seeming to illuminate every corner of his soul, all of his inner thoughts, in front of her, were nowhere to hide, clear and distinct.

It was as if those eyes could clearly see everything in the world, all living beings!

"Little Fan Yin, what are you doing?"

Jun Wuxie's soul was powerful, and in an instant, he severed the illumination of this gaze on his soul.

"I just wanted to see if Fan Yin has any weight in Senior Brother's heart. Is Senior Brother angry?"

She was full of apology, gently shaking the arms that were holding his neck, acting coquettishly towards him.

She really didn't try to pry into other secrets in his heart, she just wanted to see the answer she had just spoken.

"I'm not angry, don't talk nonsense in the future. You little kid, how old are you? What do you know about getting married or not? You even want to marry Senior Brother. Aren't you afraid your Senior Sister-in-laws will beat you up?"

Jun Wuxie teased her with a hint of scolding.

"Senior Brother, Fan Yin is over fifty years old. Why am I still a little kid in your eyes? Have you forgotten that since you left, fifty years have passed in the lower realm? Even if we don't count those fifty years, when you left, I had already cultivated to adulthood in the secret realm."

Little Fan Yin sighed. She knew that Senior Brother was saying this to reject her, but she couldn't help but want to explain.

In fact, she didn't necessarily want to get married, she was just particularly attached to Senior Brother. This attachment had existed since she was a child and had never disappeared.

She was just saying that if she had to marry, she would definitely only choose him.

In this world, besides her Senior Brother, could anyone else catch her eye?

"Well, what you said is also true, but in Senior Brother's eyes, you are still a little girl, you know?"

"Okay, I was just joking with you just now. I don't want to get married. I will follow Senior Brother to cultivate in this life, focusing on the Dao. How can I have the mind to consider matters of love and children?"

Her face bloomed with a smile, her extraordinary and refined temperament making her smile incomparably sweet, so sweet that Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, feeling an unspeakable sense of beauty, only feeling like flowers were blooming in his heart.

Fan Yin released Jun Wuxie's neck, changing to hugging his arm, and said娇声: "Although I am focused on the Dao, Senior Brother, you can't stop loving me because of this. You have to dote on me forever, just like you doted on me when I was little ~"

"Okay, okay, Senior Brother will dote on you forever, okay?"

Jun Wuxie was helpless as she shook his arm. How could he not agree to such coquetry and pleading?

…

The next day, Jun Wuxie went to the Xuanyuan Clan alone, met with their higher-ups, and left behind some rare resources.

Afterwards, he went to the Mo family, paid respects to the ancient ancestor of the Mo family, and after leaving, went to the area where the Unicorn, Golden Mastiff, Azure Flame Lion, and Frost Divine Wolf were located, and met with the Beast Kings.

These Beast Kings were very excited and begged him to take them to the upper realm when he left.

Jun Wuxie did not refuse and agreed to their request.

After that, he went to the Dragon Nest at the bottom of the sea and met the Dragon Lord.

The Dragon Lord warmly entertained him in his own small courtyard, chatting with him throughout the entire time, but never mentioning Long Xi.

Long Yuan stood beside him with a smile on his face, silently accompanying them.

"Senior, Long Xi…"

If the Dragon Lord didn't mention it, Jun Wuxie couldn't very well not mention it.

"Karma has its own destiny, little friend, there's no need to worry, Xi'er is well. Over the years, although she has experienced many hardships, they have all been narrowly avoided, and she has gained a lot. The karma between you in the upper realm has not yet arrived. When the karma arrives, you will naturally meet. At that time, I will still need little friend's protection to resolve a tribulation."

"Senior, rest assured, not to mention that Senior has been kind to me, just based on the friendship between me and Long Xi, as long as it is within my power, I will definitely not stand idly by."

Jun Wuxie made a promise.

He stayed here for most of the day. When he left, the Dragon Lord gifted him a talisman paper, named: Dragon Talisman.

The Dragon Lord said that this Dragon Talisman sealed the power of the Dragon. If he encountered a desperate situation, activating the Dragon Talisman could reverse the situation, but the Dragon Talisman could only be used three times. Each time it was used, a crack would appear on it. After accumulating three cracks, the Dragon Talisman would self-ignite.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Jun Wuxie didn't expect the Dragon Lord to give him such a thing, it was simply a life-saving talisman.

"In the future, if you help Xi'er pass through that tribulation, I will give you a great gift, it will definitely be something you need very much."

The Dragon Lord patted him on the shoulder, and the words he said whetted his appetite. He asked Long Yuan to personally see him off, sending Jun Wuxie to the exit of the Dragon Nest.

"Dragon Lord, are you really not worried about the princess? I'm afraid he might not really be able to help the princess resolve the great tribulation. Actually, it would be more secure for you to let me directly protect the princess."

"Long Yuan, do you know how many powerful enemies Xi'er will encounter in this era if she wants to rise to power on this path of contending for supremacy? Do you think her certain competitors will be afraid of you? Behind them are also life-forbidden zones! In the competition of the younger generation, under the circumstances where there are other methods, it is best for the old generation of the forbidden zone not to interfere, otherwise the nature will be different."

The Dragon Lord indicated that between the forbidden zones, it didn't matter how the younger generation fought, but if the older generation of experts intervened, it would become the antagonism between the forbidden zone forces.

Having Jun Wuxie help Xi'er resolve her tribulation is the most perfect solution. Behind him is the Heavenly Emperor, so even the wrath of the Life Forbidden Zone is something he can withstand.

"This can also continuously deepen the connection between him and Xi'er, entangling Xi'er's destiny with him even more deeply. This is a good thing. It will be of great help to Xi'er's future path. He will be the true protagonist of this era and the era to come. This is something I have long recognized and firmly believe."

The Dragon Lord's evaluation of Jun Wuxie is extremely high. Over the years, he has been recording Jun Wuxie's growth experiences, including those in the Upper Realm, writing them into a vast, unfinished epic poem.

He often reads his own records, especially the growth line of Jun Wuxie within them, which never fails to amaze him.

In the beginning, there were so many growth lines, competing and vying for supremacy. Yet Jun Wuxie rose from behind, rising in a crushing manner, suppressing all competitors to the point where they could barely breathe, losing their halos. Only he shines the most brilliantly.
