Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie waited for his daughter's explanation. He knew that his daughter would never hit Qi'an every day for no reason, and to the point of giving him a bruised nose and swollen face.

“Dad~” Xian'er hugged Jun Wuxie's arm and shook it, acting coquettishly, “Please don't be angry, okay? You don't know how naughty younger brother is. Don't look at him acting like a good baby in front of you, but he doesn't listen at all.”

Upon hearing this, Qi'an looked at Xian'er with a puffed-up face and said, “Sister Xian'er, you're the one who hits me every day, and now you're even saying bad things about me in front of Father. You're a female demon!”

“What exactly is going on with you two? Xian'er, tell Dad about it.”

Jun Wuxie, of course, believed that there was a reason for his daughter's actions, judging from the guilty look in his son's eyes.

He didn't believe that his son was as honest as he appeared on the surface.

“We opened up a passage in the Lower Realm that connects to a special place. There are young talents from all the realms there. The young powerhouses from various realms are seeking opportunities and communicating with each other in that area, and conflicts are inevitable.

Even many world powers have established strongholds there, forming many forces.

Daughter used to often go to that special area to train. Later, Aunt Xue Lan brought younger brother back to the Lower Realm, and daughter thought of taking younger brother to broaden his horizons. As a result, younger brother caused trouble there and started fights…”

“I was just sparring with people…”

Qi'an was a little guilty and cautiously glanced at his father, afraid that he would reprimand him.

“It's a good thing for cultivators from different worlds to spar with each other and verify their cultivation, as long as you don't use heavy hands for no reason.”

Jun Wuxie didn't care about this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

“Dad, you're right, but younger brother wasn't sparring. He beat someone up, and the person's father came out to demand an explanation, and he beat the person's father up too.”

“Well, the younger one couldn't win, so the older one jumped out, which is beneath their dignity. Dad thinks Qi'an did the right thing in this matter. Is that all?”

“That's not all. Then the person's grandfather came out to demand an explanation, and younger brother beat the person's grandfather up too…”

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud. He patted his son's shoulder and said, “Good son, you have the demeanor of your father back then!”

“Oh dear, Father, you don't even know what caused this. Younger brother misunderstood first, so he took action and beat the person up. Although he didn't use heavy hands, he still injured the person quite badly. It's normal for the person to feel unconvinced.”

Xian'er was speechless when she saw her father like this. She indicated that Qi'an had taken action because of a girl, not for sparring.

At that time, he thought that the young man he beat up was bullying the girl, but it turned out that they were just having a lovers' quarrel.

“…”

Jun Wuxie was speechless and couldn't help but look at his son. No wonder he had a guilty look in his eyes just now.

“Since you took action because you misjudged the situation, you should apologize to the person. How could you beat up the person's father and grandfather? Could it be that you're interested in that girl?”

Jun Wuxie looked at his son, thinking that his son was over ten years old and barely at the age of budding love. It was normal to be attracted to the opposite sex.

But the problem was that the girl already belonged to someone else, and doing so was not honorable. He didn't approve of this behavior.

“No way, Father, don't misunderstand. Qi'an doesn't even know that girl. At that time, he just saw that the girl was crying sadly and calling for help. Who knew that they were just a young couple having a fight? So I beat up that guy.

Later, his father came to demand an explanation. I was going to apologize, after all, it was my son who misunderstood first and beat someone up. But that person's father had a very bad attitude and said he wanted to discipline me on your behalf. I got angry at the time, so I beat him up too…”

“And his grandfather was also beaten up because of a similar situation, so you beat them all up together?”

Upon hearing this, Qi'an revealed a shy expression, scratched the back of his head, and nodded sheepishly.

“Are they all very weak? Your entire family, three generations, were beaten up by you.”

Jun Wuxie was a little shocked. He had already seen through his son Qi'an's realm, the peak of the Saint King realm, and he only had time to break through to this realm after coming to the Lower Realm.

Even if a peak Saint King had a high talent for growth, he would not be able to compete with the older generation of powerhouses.

“I… I used the Law Imprint left in my body by Ancestor Master Mu…” Qi'an smiled and explained, “Who told them to bully the small with the big.”

“This matter is inappropriate. Don't be so impulsive in the future.”

Jun Wuxie educated his son. At this time, Xian'er began to add insult to injury, saying, “Later, the other party's higher-ups came to our small stronghold in that area to demand an explanation, and younger brother led people to beat up everyone in their entire stronghold!

This matter caused dissatisfaction among the forces of various realms in that area, and there were many rumors. Younger brother began to go around challenging people, stirring up chaos there, causing our people to be targeted in that area.

Daughter wanted to let younger brother return to this world, but he wouldn't listen. She had to say that if he could beat daughter, she would let him do as he pleased. She didn't expect younger brother to actually dare to fight daughter. Daughter got angry, so she beat him up…”

“It seems that Qi'an, you were asking for a beating. You're at the peak of the Saint King realm, and you actually fought with your Saint Emperor realm sister Xian'er. Also, Xian'er is your sister, how can you not listen to her and go against her?”

“Father, Qi'an knows he's wrong. The main thing is that the people from those worlds are too arrogant. I can't stand it, and sister won't let me, so I couldn't hold back…”

Jun Wuxie shook his head and then looked at Xian'er, “Then why do you beat your younger brother every day?”

“Because younger brother wants to go out and fight every day. We still have many young cultivators training in that world. If things get too stiff, it will be very detrimental to them.”

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sigh.

This son is really stubborn.

“Qi'an, you must remember that you are a prince, the prince of the Zhuxian Dynasty and the Dawn Dynasty. You must consider more when doing things in the future, and you can't just think of yourself.

After all, you were the one who couldn't justify your actions first. If those forces are intent on inciting rumors, your behavior will only cause various realms to develop a sense of resistance towards us.

It would be fine if we didn't have anyone training in that area, but the problem is that there are still many young powerhouses seeking opportunities. If you do too much and constantly intensify the conflict, it may bring danger to their lives, but you don't have the strength to resolve the danger for them.”

“Father, Qi'an knows, please don't be angry, and forgive your son's youthful exuberance.”

Qi'an lowered his head. His father's teachings made him deeply realize his problems.

“Father is not blaming you, nor is he angry. Don't be discouraged.”

Jun Wuxie touched his son's head, his voice becoming much gentler, which gave psychological comfort to the disheartened Qi'an.

Jun Wuxie released his children and walked towards Ji Yinlan and the others.

All the women looked at him with affectionate eyes.

It had been a long time since their last separation.

The time flow of this Lower Realm is different from that of the Upper Realm.

“There are no particularly urgent matters in the Upper Realm for the time being. I will stay and accompany you for some time.”

Jun Wuxie took the hands of Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao, and then looked at Mu Xuelan and the others, saying, “When I'm not by Qi'an's side, you must guide him well. Don't let him develop arrogant habits.”

Jun Wuxie was actually a little worried, after all, his son's growth experience was different from his back then.

Although Qi'an suffered a lot when he was young due to cultivation, his starting point for growth was very high. He had two major dynasties behind him, the Bingxin Pavilion, many concubines, and his father, the Lord of the Lower Realm.

He was really afraid that he would develop some arrogant personality under the circumstances of this family background.

“Husband, rest assured, we will teach Qi'an well. This time, we were negligent in discipline.”

Mu Xuelan only knew about what her son had done today, and she was a little angry in her heart. If there weren't so many people present, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.

“Husband, Pavilion Master Mu has been gone for more than half a year and has not returned. We sent people to inquire, but there is no news at all.

Logically speaking, with Pavilion Master Mu's realm, there shouldn't be any problems in the Lower Realm, but it has been such a long time…”

Ji Yinlan revealed a hint of worry. Several months ago, she had sent people to inquire about Mu Ciyin's whereabouts.

Although the Lower Realm is large, it has already been unified. If Mu Ciyin were in the Lower Realm, as long as she wasn't deliberately hiding, it would be impossible not to find her trace.

“She hasn't come back yet?”

Jun Wuxie didn't see Mu Ciyin when he came out of seclusion and thought she had returned to the Upper Realm.

After all, she belonged to the Upper Realm and didn't have as much attachment to the Lower Realm as the others.

He didn't expect that she hadn't returned since she left the Zhuxian Sword Sect!

“Yes.”

The women all nodded, and a hint of worry was revealed in their eyes.

Jun Wuxie frowned slightly, his expression solemn, and fell into contemplation.

“I'll go find her. It shouldn't take too long. I'll accompany you well after I come back.”

Jun Wuxie got up. Time was of the essence. If Mu Ciyin really encountered any difficulties, delaying it for another day would mean one more point of danger.

He left directly, left the imperial capital, and went straight to the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

Jingya said that Mu Ciyin had sensed something in the dark at that time before leaving the sect.

This reminded him of the woman he had saved in the Burial Corpse Land back then, who looked very similar to Mu Ciyin, almost identical.

At that time, that woman said that she was a secondary body and was going to find the main body to merge.

Now that he thought about it, that woman should be Mu Ciyin's secondary body.

It's just that it wasn't her secondary body in this life, it should have been the secondary body separated when she was the founder of the Bingxin Pavilion in her previous life.

Mu Ciyin came to the Lower Realm, and what could make her sense something in the dark, besides that secondary body, there was almost no other possibility.

“I wonder if it will be in the Dragon Ridge Mountains.”

Jun Wuxie wasn't sure, but he had to go and take a look no matter what.

Yin Lan mobilized the power of the imperial dynasty, yet even they could not find any trace of Mu Ciyin, indicating that her location is very special. Otherwise, news would have arrived long ago, so naturally, one cannot search for her in ordinary places.

As for other secret realms and lands, Mu Ciyin couldn't possibly stay in them for long. Given her realm, the things that have emerged in the lower realm's secret realms and lands would hardly be of any use to her now.

Even if her avatar were trapped in a secret realm or land, once she found it and merged with it, she would leave the secret realm or land.

Considering all of these factors, Jun Wuxie believes that a special place like the Dragon Ridge Mountains is a definite possibility.

Some places in the Dragon Ridge Mountains are extremely mysterious, and even experts in the Eternal Saint Realm might encounter danger.

That area has ominous places that are hidden and not obvious. By the time one notices them, they may already be trapped.

He first went to the Ancient Corpse Burial Ground to search, spreading out his divine sense to perceive, and searched all the way to the City of Buried Corpses, but did not find any traces or aura left by Mu Ciyin.

“Roar!”

A violent roar echoed within the City of Buried Corpses, and dark red blood energy surged into the sky like a vast ocean, submerging the high heavens.

The current City of Buried Corpses has become much more dangerous than before.

Due to the changes in the lower realm environment, without the suppression of order on realms, red-haired demonic entities that had been slumbering within the City of Buried Corpses have awakened.

Jun Wuxie had never seen those red-haired demonic entities before. Their realms were extremely high, and even from a great distance, they made him feel frightened.

However, those red-haired demonic entities could not leave the city, as the strong members of the Burial Clan had set up measures within the city.

“There are no traces or aura of Ciyin along the way, so it can be determined that she has not been to this City of Buried Corpses.”

Jun Wuxie felt a little relieved. If she had come to the City of Buried Corpses, the consequences would be unpredictable. If the people of the Burial Clan did not take action, her only hope would be for the Dao Fruit to automatically recover, but she could only defend passively, unable to attack proactively, which meant she would be trapped inside forever.

How long could she last against the powerful red-haired demonic entities?

After all, the extent of the Dao Fruit's recovery is limited, unlike when he was in the Shattered True World, where he could return to his peak in a short period of time.

This is because his previous life not only left behind the Dao Fruit, but also a brand of his Primordial Spirit, while other strong individuals who reincarnated could not leave behind a brand of their Primordial Spirit at all. They simply cannot activate the true power of the Dao Fruit, and at most, the Dao Fruit can only produce some slight induction and release some power to protect its master when encountering danger.
