Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Not only Linglong, but all the other women besides Chan'er showed worried expressions, looking as if they wanted to say something but didn't know whether they should.

“You underestimate the strength of the imperial dynasty. Even before I returned, the imperial dynasty had Eternal Saint Realm experts overseeing it.”

“What?”

Except for Chan'er, the other women were all shocked.

The imperial dynasty had Eternal Saint Realm experts?

Where did the Eternal Saint Realm experts come from? Why didn't they know anything about it? He had never mentioned it.

“Not only Eternal Saint Realm, but also Eternal Giants. Now that I'm back, there's no shortage of Eternal Saint Realm experts. This trip to the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm was very rewarding. I not only gained resources, but also a large number of powerful experts, bringing them out of the secret realm. From now on, they will be my imperial dynasty's subordinates.

However, I don't want to make their existence public yet. Hiding our strength and taking advantage of the information gap created by the enemy's lack of understanding can better deal with their schemes and give them a crushing blow.”

“Eternal Giants! The pinnacle of the Eternal Realm in the Ten Directions Mythical Domain!”

Xu Yan'ning, Anning, and Yun Shu didn't know what level an Eternal Giant was, but Linglong was very clear.

She was extremely shocked in her heart. The imperial dynasty actually had an Eternal Giant overseeing it!

No wonder Junior Brother could enter the Azure Dragon Gorge Secret Realm with such peace of mind, staying for two years. It turned out that he had arranged everything in advance and naturally had no worries.

“Yan'ning, where is Seven Kill Tower now?”

“They have already left Hanzhou and are hiding in a remote area of Pingzhou. Most of the assassins have been dismissed, leaving only their core members.”

She said that Seven Kill Tower had dismissed all the people who had been forcibly captured to be used as assassin machines. This was a signal released by Seven Kill Tower to protect themselves, hoping to make the imperial dynasty think that they had disbanded and would no longer pursue them.

In fact, they were not reconciled, and the core members were still there.

And those core members were the real culprits.

“This is the location where Seven Kill Tower is hiding.”

Xu Yan'ning took out a jade talisman and injected true energy into it. The jade talisman glowed, projecting a map in the air, marking the location of Seven Kill Tower.

“They are hiding in the depths of a large canyon in a barren land, and they have hollowed out the mountainside. All the core members are hiding in the mountainside.

In fact, I wanted to settle accounts with them a long time ago, but after thinking about it, I decided to wait until you came back before taking action.”

“It doesn't matter, it's not too late to settle accounts now. Over the years, they should have been living in great fear, in constant anxiety. A force like Seven Kill Tower must be eradicated, otherwise many talented people from humble backgrounds will be harmed by them. Such things must not happen in the future when the imperial dynasty unifies the starry sky.

By the way, have Jingya and Xuelan and their son, Lilia, Yunxi, and the Yuning sisters gone to the lower realm?”

“Yes, they have been in the lower realm for a long time, it must have been half a year. The time flow in the lower realm is ten times faster, so they have been there for several years.”

Jun Wuxie smiled. For them, the lower realm was, after all, their homeland. Yinlan and the others were still there, as well as Little Fairy. It was not strange for them to stay for a few more days. After all, he had not come out of the secret realm, so there was no need to rush back to the upper realm.

“I forgot to tell you that Sister Yinlan came half a year ago. She said that our imperial dynasty is developing very well. She also praised me, Anning, and Senior Sister Yun Shu.”

“When I have time, I have to go to the lower realm to see them.”

Jun Wuxie sighed in his heart. Although the two realms had long been connected and the journey was only a moment, there had been too many things to do over the years, one after another, with almost no free time, neglecting them.

Immediately, he took out many Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruits and gave them to Anning, explaining the effects of this fruit, and asked them to take one each, and then give the others to Void Holy Son, Divine Wind Holy Son, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, Dugu Ruyan, Zhao Wenting, Di Hui, Mitian, and Miqing.

The remaining fruits were stored away, to be rewarded to outstanding geniuses depending on the situation, as well as those who had made great military exploits in the army, and those with high talent growth intensity.

After all, although he had many of these fruits, he could not afford to squander them. After all, in the lower realm, he also had a large number of sect disciples. Among those people, the number of those who had entered the Divine Forbidden Domain was probably very amazing by now.

It would be a great waste to take this Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruit before entering the Divine Forbidden Domain, or even before the later stage of the Divine Forbidden Domain. Even in the Ten Directions Mythical Domain, this Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruit has excellent effects.

“Then we can't take it now either. Let's keep it first. We can't waste it. We'll use it when our talent growth intensity increases in the future.”

Xu Yan'ning was very clear about the preciousness of this fruit.

The further one goes in the Divine Forbidden Domain, the more difficult it is to obtain resources of the corresponding grade.

Currently, although she has also entered the Mythical Domain, she is only in the early stage of the Mythical Domain. In this domain, for such a great era, it is not difficult to find rare resources that can be improved, but in the future, as the talent growth domain becomes higher and higher, the difficulty of obtaining corresponding resources will increase sharply.

“Keeping it is naturally the best. Now the imperial dynasty's territory is vast, and it is foreseeable that in a few years, the territory will expand many times again. Don't let go of any of those imperial dynasties that once sent troops to jointly attack us, take them all down.

Now the evolution speed of the world's environment is extremely fast. Within the vast territory of our imperial dynasty, various secret lands and secret realms will definitely appear.

In those secret lands and secret realms, there will be some rare resources. At that time, you can go in and seek your own fortunes. In your own territory, safety can be greatly guaranteed. If there are no restrictions, Senior Sister Linglong can also go in, remember to bring Chan'er.”

Jun Wuxie knew that Chan'er had recovered a small part of her strength, but had been hiding it. Even her memory had recovered a lot.

In the past, when he had not recovered part of his past life's memory, he naturally could not see it, but now it was different. Chan'er pretending not to have recovered could not escape his eyes.

Because the aura of a Great Emperor Realm expert is very special. Others cannot identify the Emperor's aura hidden in her body, but he can.

“Ning'er.”

Jun Wuxie's voice suddenly became much gentler.

A "Ning'er" made Anning's delicate body tremble slightly, and a slight blush appeared on her beautiful face, but her eyes were filled with happiness and tenderness.

“Your father's severed limbs should be reattached.”

After so many years, in fact, Prince Ning had no need to continue to punish himself in this way.

The imperial dynasty had been established for such a long time, and the past grievances had long been settled. Many years ago, they were already people in the same camp, and they had a very deep relationship with each other.

True Martial Peak was his master's sect, and Prince Ning was his father-in-law.

Anning's expression dimmed upon hearing this.

Yun Shu sighed, and said, “I have persuaded her many times about this matter, but she and Prince Ning just won't listen. Master has even come to persuade them in person, and even drank with Prince Ning all night, but I don't know what they talked about. In the end, Prince Ning insisted on not reattaching his severed limbs, and Master could only sigh.

In fact, Master had let go a long time ago, but he just couldn't save face.”

“I know where Prince Ning's knot is, I will personally go and talk to him about this matter. Yan'ning, after I bring all the old friends back, we will go to Seven Kill Tower in Pingzhou.”

“Yes.”

Xu Yan'ning's eyes were a little dim, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of Junior Brother Zhou Lin.

She and Zhou Lin came from the same school, and they were once geniuses that the Imperial Spirit Sect focused on training.

Junior Brother Zhou Lin had a relatively shy personality, and he usually didn't talk much, but he was very good at dealing with people, and he had always been very respectful to her, this Holy Maiden Senior Sister.

Who would have thought that when he arrived in the upper realm, he would have fallen so tragically and died so miserably.

“Don't be sad, those old friends from the past will reappear in the future, believe me.”

Jun Wuxie gently stroked her face, Xu Yan'ning was stunned, and after reacting, she showed an unbelievable expression, “How is this possible?”

“Nothing is impossible, there are some things you don't understand, you will understand in the future. Any universe is within the rules, whether alive or dead, they are still in the world, just existing in another form.”

Hearing him say this, not only Xu Yan'ning was shocked, but everyone else was shocked except for Chan'er, including Linglong, who had already entered the Supreme Saint Realm.

This kind of thing also exceeded her understanding of life and death.

In addition to the shock, Anning's delicate body suddenly trembled, and a light suddenly appeared in her dim eyes.

From what he said to Xu Yan'ning, she heard hope!

……

Prince Ning's residence is located in a very quiet area behind the imperial palace, built on a small mountain.

This small mountain is only three or four hundred meters high, with dense vegetation and lush branches and leaves. The scenery is very good. On the way up, you can hear the singing of birds in the woods on both sides of the road.

In addition to the chirping of insects and birds and the gurgling of mountain streams, there are no other sounds.

His residence is very simple, a very simple small courtyard, built next to a cemetery.

That was the tomb of Anning's mother. Prince Ning moved the entire mountain here, and has been living beside the tomb all these years.

When Jun Wuxie came to the mountain, Prince Ning was in the bamboo forest next to the small courtyard, in front of Anning's mother's tomb.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, and only a few silhouettes could be seen. From these few silhouettes alone, Jun Wuxie felt that he had aged a lot over the years.

He could also feel a kind of decadence and twilight on him.

This was no longer the high-spirited Prince Ning of the generation of overlords.

At that time, his temperament was restrained, but it gave people an incomparably sharp feeling. Except when facing Anning, he looked at anyone like a lion staring at its prey.

Now he looks like an old man entering his twilight years.

In fact, he is not very old, only a little over a thousand years old.

For a Overlord Saint Realm cultivator with a long lifespan, this kind of twilight should not exist. This age is only the beginning of a long life journey.

The forest was very quiet, with only the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind and the occasional clear chirping of birds.

Ning Wang's loose long hair danced gently in the wind.

He sat in his wheelchair like this, facing Anning's mother's grave, and kept looking at it.

Jun Wuxie also stood in the distance, watching him like this for several hours, but Ning Wang didn't move at all.

He remembered that when the dynasty was first established, although he was physically disabled and felt guilty about what he had done, he still had fighting spirit.

But now, the Ning Wang of that time was gone forever.

These short few years seemed to have worn away all the sharpness in him and buried all his fighting spirit.

Jun Wuxie knew that he was feeling guilty, remorseful, and repentant.

Guilty and repentant towards the disciples who died in the True Martial Peak, and deeply guilty and remorseful towards his wife.

His state of mind had withered, like a pool of stagnant water, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple.

Jun Wuxie stepped forward, stepping on the withered yellow bamboo leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound.

Hearing the sound, Ning Wang slowly turned his wheelchair. When he saw that it was him, a momentary light appeared in his dim eyes, but it was only for a moment before they returned to their cloudy state.

Jun Wuxie's heart also jolted for a moment when he turned around.

Looking at the man in the wheelchair in front of him, he couldn't believe that this was the spirited Ning Wang of the past, who waved his hand and pointed out strategies, determined to dominate the world, unify Qingzhou, and vowed to control his own destiny.

He was much older than before, with many wrinkles on his face, a messy beard, and bloodshot eyes.

"You're back. It's good that you're back."

Ning Wang pushed the wheelchair forward, a trace of a smile appearing on his slightly pale face.

Although he was smiling, there was still no light in his eyes.

"To be honest, before I saw you, I really couldn't believe you would be like this. Living in guilt, self-blame, and repentance, this feeling must be very tormenting."

Jun Wuxie was expressionless and didn't show any emotion.

Ning Wang smiled calmly and didn't answer.

"But you still have Anning. I don't want her to be in pain because of you. Perhaps it is because of Anning that you are living like a walking corpse. If it weren't for her, you would have probably gone down to accompany your Wangfei long ago."

Although Jun Wuxie didn't like Ning Wang's decadent, walking corpse-like state, which made him feel like a coward who didn't dare to face reality, he didn't say these words.

Because he thought of himself in the past.

When Yue Yao disappeared before his eyes, he was also as decadent as Ning Wang, and fell into despair.

If Yue Yao hadn't retained that wisp of true soul, he didn't know what he would have become. There probably wouldn't have been a Jun Shen in the world.

How can you know another's suffering if you haven't experienced it yourself?

Just like the harm and pain Ning Wang caused to the True Martial Peak back then.

"Do you hate me? I made the True Martial Peak so miserable back then."

Ning Wang looked at Jun Wuxie calmly.

"I don't hate you, but I hate you for those who died in the True Martial Peak. Now, you make me feel a little pitiful, but a pitiful person must have hateful aspects. In the end, you personally planted the seeds of your own suffering, and now you are suffering the consequences.

No wonder her eyes were so dim when Anning mentioned you. Do you remember that you are a father? You are simply outrageous!

Who do you think you are worthy of?

You are not worthy of your Wangfei, you are not worthy of those who died in the True Martial Peak, and now you are not worthy of your daughter.

The deceased are gone. If you feel that you have made a mistake, then do your best to make up for it.

Even if you try to make up for it, you can't smooth the scars in other people's hearts, but at least you have taken action. You have to have an attitude, instead of being half-dead like you are now.

You still have a daughter. Have you ever thought about how she feels? Seeing her father, her only blood relative in this world, living like a walking corpse every day, have you ever thought about her pain?"

Jun Wuxie's tone was not intense, but every word hit Ning Wang's heart, causing his expression to become distorted, revealing a look of pain, and his body in the wheelchair trembled spasmodically.

However, as Jun Wuxie's voice fell, Ning Wang gradually calmed down and returned to his original appearance.

Jun Wuxie knew that this alone could not activate Ning Wang's stagnant state of mind. He also knew very well what his knot was. It was nothing more than feeling that there was no hope in life, that the mistakes he had made could never be made up for, and that no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.

At the same time, he also felt that, due to the mistakes he had made against the True Martial Peak in the past, even if it seemed like the past was forgotten on the surface, the people of the True Martial Peak still had knots in their hearts and could not truly get along with him, nor could they truly regard him as one of their own.

In this situation, Jun Wuxie would also have a knot in his heart. He didn't know how to face the long years ahead, after all, that was his son-in-law, the only man who could make his daughter happy and give her a sense of belonging.
