Jun Wuming was in front and Jun Xilei was behind. Jun Wuming remained silent the entire time, while Jun Xilei kept his head down and didn't say a word.
This kind of atmosphere has never existed between the master and the disciple.
The two of them were not moving very fast, and before they knew it, they had left the Snow Song Realm.
Jun Wuming also stopped at this time, his white beard flying, his eyes staring straight ahead, motionless.
Jun Xilei stopped behind him, asked nothing, said nothing, but kept biting her lips tightly, not letting go from beginning to end.
Such shame and such a gap, she may never be able to get over it in her entire life, let alone it is so close to her.
The tempering of "Sword Heart"? She didn't believe it...
“Alas.” Jun Wuming sighed softly: “Outside the Snow Song Realm, the closest star realm with a teleportation array is the Qingyan Realm that we have visited before. Although it is remote, it has enough time.”
Jun Xilei: "..."
“Cough… cough cough…”
As Jun Wuming finished his voice, his body suddenly trembled and he let out a light cough, which then suddenly became more intense, each cough becoming louder than the last.
“Cough… cough cough… cough…”
In the end, it actually brought some pain.
Jun Xilei was startled and quickly came to Jun Wuming's side: "Master, you...what's wrong with you?"
"cough……"
With the last painful cough, Jun Wuming's body finally calmed down, and he slowly lowered his hand that was covering his mouth...
Jun Xilei saw at a glance that there were streaks of blood in his palm.
Jun Xilei was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was speechless for a moment.
“Just now, Master was preparing to shock Mu Xuanyin with his sword energy, but… before the sword energy was released, it was instantly sealed in her body. No matter how hard Master tried, he could not break free and was thus injured by the sword energy.”
Jun Wuming spoke very calmly, but every word and every sentence was like a bolt from the blue to Jun Xilei.
What kind of concept is the sword energy of the Sword Master? It is the ultimate sword energy that has reached the highest level of the God Realm, and there is no other sword energy in the entire Primal Chaos Space that can be matched. But it is... sealed in the body and cannot be released?
"This...how is it possible?" Jun Xilei cried out.
"This is the reason." Jun Wuming said with his eyes closed.
“That…that was just because Master didn’t use his full strength and was suppressed by her for a moment. How could a mere Realm King of a middle-level star realm be…how could he be compared with Master?” Jun Xilei said anxiously.
“If that were the case, how could I have retreated to this point?” Jun Wuming sighed. If he turned around at this moment, Jun Xilei would have seen a flash of fear on his face: “Snow Song Realm King Mu Xuanyin, she gave me a terrible feeling... that I could never defeat her no matter what.”
There are only a handful of people in the entire Eastern Divine Region who can make Jun Wuming say the word "terrible".
"..." Jun Xilei was completely stunned. After a long while, she said in a daze: "That should be... just an illusion, or... a false illusion created by her in some way."
"Haha." Jun Wuming smiled: "Master has lived for 50,000 years and has seen too many tricks, false faces, and false images. But this feeling is the only one that is absolutely impossible to fake."
These words were said by Jun Wuming himself, and Jun Xilei finally understood why he would retreat to such a point... Although she had thought of this possibility before, she rejected it as soon as it flashed through her mind. Even though Jun Wuming said it himself, she still couldn't believe and accept it.
“Master, you once said that in the entire Eastern Divine Region, including the king realms, there are no more than ten people you can never defeat. Could it be that she… has reached that level? She… is clearly only a realm king of a middle-level star realm!?”
“……” Jun Wuming did not say anything, and silence naturally meant consent.
“Even if…even if she is really that powerful, in terms of seniority and reputation in the Eastern Divine Region, she is far from being comparable to Master. Back then, when I accompanied Master to visit the Eternal Heaven God Realm, even the Eternal Heaven God Emperor was very polite to Master. How dare she, a Realm King of a mid-level star realm… offend and humiliate Master like this!”
Jun Xilei's voice was full of hatred, but Jun Wuming shook his head slowly: "Lei'er, you have to understand one thing, in this world, strength is always respected. Background and seniority are all false in the face of absolute strength. People in the world respect their teacher so much, do you really think it is because of seniority? If I didn't have this profound cultivation and swordsmanship, no one would really look at me in the eye even if my seniority was ten times higher."
“You are not at fault for what happened today, and neither is anyone else.” Jun Wuming said helplessly, “If it was just an ordinary middle-level star realm, you would not be offended, even if you stepped on it, they would not have the slightest resentment, but would be terrified and send you off respectfully. However, Mu Xuanyin’s cultivation is higher than that of my master, so offending her would be a big mistake.”
"There is no order of precedence in the Dao, and the one who has achieved it is respected. It is not wrong to look down on the weak, but if you offend the respected, you should suffer the consequences... This is also why countless creatures in the world spend their entire lives pursuing a higher profound Dao."
This was not the first time Jun Xilei had heard these words, but this time, it was a hundred times more shocking than before. But she still couldn't accept it, and whispered: "I can't reach the level of Master, and I still... can't accept it."
What she was really unwilling to accept was not the slap in the face from Mu Xuanyin, but... kneeling down in front of a weak person. The latter was an indelible humiliation for her.
“Haha, Mu Xuanyin is indeed an outlier. She is the only one in the world who has reached the highest realm but still has such an extreme temperament.”
"Today, I can already see the end of my life, but she is still so young, her life span is less than 20% of mine, and she still has endless possibilities. In the remaining time of my life, I am destined to be inferior to her." At this point, Jun Wuming did not sigh, but smiled: "But there is one thing, she will never be as good as me."
"Tears, that's you."
Looking at the only successor that he had spent half his life to find, Jun Wuming's eyes were filled with doting and satisfaction: "Master cannot compare to her, but due to the limitations of bloodline, skills, and fate, her successor will never be able to compare to my successor, so why should I be unwilling?"
“I, your master, cannot avenge you for today’s humiliation, but in the future, in the era that belongs to you, even if Mu Xuanyin has thousands of descendants, they will have to kneel before your sword… Why should you be unwilling?”
Thinking of the fact that all of the "top disciples" of the Divine Tribulation Realm were only at the Divine Tribulation Realm, especially the direct disciple named "Yun Che" who was only at the first level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, Jun Xilei felt relieved, as if she had suddenly found some kind of balance. She said seriously, "Master, rest assured. I will never disgrace the name of 'Sword Sovereign's Successor' in my lifetime. I will pay back today's humiliation a million times one day!"
"Haha, I'm afraid that by that time, when you replace me as the 'Sword Lord', today's events and people will be like tiny dust and will not be noticed." Jun Wuming said with a smile.
“Seven hundred years ago, although Mu Xuanyin’s cultivation was amazing, she was far inferior to her master. To reach this level in just a few hundred years is definitely not something that can be achieved by ordinary means. The reason why she did not go to the Eternal Heaven God Realm must be that she did not want to attract attention.” Jun Wuming said thoughtfully.
“Lei’er, don’t tell anyone about what happened today, especially about Mu Xuanyin. She saved my face just now and didn’t make me look bad in public, but isn’t this also a warning to me?”
"Yes, disciple will remember this."
Entering the teleportation array, after a long space shuttle, as the eyes suddenly light up, a whole new world gradually appears in sight.
The moment the space switched, Yun Che's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. After three years, he was finally...truly one step closer to Jasmine. And it was a very, very big step.
The red-clad figure that always appeared in his dreams never faded from his memory and soul.
But the world before his eyes stunned him and all the Ice Phoenix disciples.
Completely different from all expectations, the world before my eyes was just an empty white expanse. I couldn't see the majesty and might of the king's realm, and I couldn't even see the existence of the earth.
There was a vast expanse of white before my eyes, and even under my feet... I was standing on a flat curtain of light.
The light in the light curtain is still flowing slowly.
But Mu Bingyun, Mu Huanzhi and the others did not show any strange expressions. Mu Huanzhi turned around and said, "This is the outer world that the Eternal Heaven God Realm temporarily created for this Profound God Conference. Although it is not the real Eternal Heaven God Realm, it is very close."
“Follow closely behind me. This is not the Snow Song Realm. No one is allowed to move around at will.” Mu Huanzhi said solemnly.
Behind them, Huo Rulie also flew out of the mysterious formation with Huo Poyun, and walked parallel to the Binghuang group.
The name of the Eternal Heaven God Realm alone would give people a huge sense of oppression. The Ice Phoenix disciples who came here would be the top of the younger generation in the entire Snow Song Realm, and they could walk sideways wherever they went. But when they arrived here, even though they had not yet stepped into the real Eternal Heaven God Realm, a sense of humility grew in the hearts of all the disciples. This feeling would become stronger with every step forward.
Not only the disciples, but also the elders and palace masters were obviously restraining their auras.
In the endless light curtain, besides them, other mysterious figures can be vaguely seen in the distance, some in groups, some as a few scattered people, and some even alone.
“The Eternal Heaven God Realm is the last of the four great king realms in the Eastern Divine Region to be ranked as a king realm.” Mu Bingyun whispered to Yun Che, “It was originally just an upper star realm, but about 600,000 years ago, an ancestor with a very special physique appeared in the Eternal Heaven God Realm. It was a heaven-given physique that was protected by the way of heaven in ancient legends, and everything that happened afterwards proved that it was not just a legend.”
“That ancestor with the heaven-given body found the Eternal Heaven Pearl and became its master. After that, that star realm was blessed by the Eternal Heaven Pearl and renamed ‘Eternal Heaven Realm’. From then on, it soared into the sky and not only ranked among the king realms, but also surpassed the Star God Realm and the Moon God Realm in comprehensive strength. It is now the most respected king realm in the Eastern Divine Region by all the realms.”
"After the Eternal Heaven Ancestor passed away, the Eternal Heaven Pearl continued to protect the Eternal Heaven God Realm day and night. There are even some absurd rumors that the Eternal Heaven Ancestor who lived 600,000 years ago did not actually pass away, but survived to this day with the help of the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl, hiding in the Eternal Heaven Pearl. That is why the Eternal Heaven Pearl has been protecting the Eternal Heaven God Realm."
“Hahahaha,” Mu Huanzhi beside him laughed as he listened to Mu Bingyun’s story. “It’s just some idle talk made up by some idle people. The only people in the world who can live for hundreds of thousands of years are dragons. It’s impossible for humans to live that long.”
“That’s right, Great Elder.” Yun Che replied. However, Mu Bingyun’s words about “a kind of heaven-given physique that is protected by the Heavenly Dao in ancient legends” suddenly reminded him of someone…
But it just flashed by and I didn’t think much about it.
