"Brother, Xiao Li..."
Upon arriving outside the courtyard and seeing those two familiar figures, Xiaoyan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
But she quickly composed herself, her face hardening as she stared directly at Lu Qing.
At this moment, Han Ling Shuang appeared at the door, and when she saw Lu Qing, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
However, seeing Xiaoyan's stubborn back, she stopped and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing froze.
"Xiao Yan!" Xiao Li rushed over immediately, "I missed you so much!"
Xiao Yan caught Xiao Li and stroked its fur until the little guy showed a look of enjoyment.
She then looked at Lu Qing and asked, "So, what's the reason this time? Why did you all disappear without a word again?"
Thinking about all the worries she'd had over the years, Xiaoyan felt a surge of resentment.
However, she bit her lip and suppressed her emotions.
"This matter is complicated," Lu Qing sighed. "Let's go inside and talk about it."
Once inside, under Xiaoyan's aggrieved gaze, Lu Qing pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Back then, Xiao Li and I were forced to leave. All these years, we've been in a dangerous secret realm..."
Lu Qing once again recounted how the Void Flying Boat had undergone an anomaly, leading him and Xiao Li to the Ruins of Return.
And how he carefully avoided those powerful figures, step by step, and diligently cultivated in the secret realm.
During the narration, Xiao Li would occasionally chime in with a sentence or two to add to the story.
Xiao Yan and Han Ling Shuang never expected that Lu Qing and Xiao Li were actually carried by the Void Flying Boat, traversing the endless void, and arriving at the Guixu Secret Realm on the other side of the distant starry sky.
Listening to what Lu Qing said, the secret realm contained many supreme experts, the weakest of whom were at least at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the strongest of whom were even at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Even now that they see that he and Xiao Li have returned safely, Xiao Yan and Han Ling Shuang still can't help but nervously clench their hands.
Xiaoyan, in particular, had completely lost all her initial anger.
Only then did she realize that her brother and Xiao Li had been in such terrible danger all these years.
"In the end, I became a disciple of that Daoist Guixu. After the secret realm closed ahead of schedule, I was able to return to my home world with the help of that old Azure Dragon senior."
Lu Qing slowly recounted his experiences in the Guixu Secret Realm over the years, though he omitted some details.
For example, there are some secrets about the Immortal Palace that he cannot easily reveal, even though he is now a disciple of the Daoist Guixu.
The battle with Demon Slaughter Mountain and his group was not described in much detail.
Even so, it still left Xiaoyan and Han Ling Shuang breathless and extremely nervous.
"So it turns out that you and Xiao Li were taken to the secret realm of that Dao Transformation Immortal. No wonder we couldn't find you back then, and the communication talisman didn't work at all. Fortunately, you have returned safely now."
Han Ling Shuang looked terrified.
Her cultivation level was still low, and she didn't really have a concrete concept of what existed beyond the primordial spirit.
But just from Lu Qing's brief description, she could already sense how dangerous Lu Qing and Xiao Li's situation was at that time.
After all, according to Lu Qing, the weakest of those forces that entered the secret realm to explore was at least at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, far above his level.
If he hadn't been careful and found an opportunity, he probably wouldn't be back now.
Xiaoyan's face was also somewhat pale.
Only then did she realize that her brother and Xiao Li had been living in danger all these years.
She felt deeply regretful when she realized that she had been stubborn and angry with her brother.
Just as Xiaoyan was thinking about how to apologize to her brother and Xiaoli.
A hand landed on her head, gently stroking her hair.
"This time it was my fault for not informing you in time, which made you worry."
Hearing her brother's gentle tone, Xiaoyan could no longer hold back.
She buried her head in her brother's chest, her emotions bursting forth as she sobbed, "Brother, I'm sorry, Xiaoyan didn't know you..."
"Silly girl, you're just worried about your brother." Lu Qing gently stroked his sister's hair. "Anyway, I promise you, I won't leave without a reason again."
After comforting Xiaoyan for a while, her emotions gradually calmed down.
"Now that you've returned, will you be going out again?" Han Ling Shuang asked.
"Of course we'll still go out," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyan immediately raised her head.
Lu Qing tapped her head with his finger: "Don't worry, I won't sneak away this time. I'll take you with me."
"Really?" Xiaoyan's eyes lit up immediately.
"It's true, of course, but not now. We'll have to wait a while."
Lu Qing couldn't stay at home for too long; his hometown simply didn't have enough resources to support his cultivation.
Even now, he still needs to conceal his aura and try not to reveal it.
Otherwise, with a single tremor, he could shatter space and shake the earth.
There's no way around it, his current strength is just too great.
His home world was just a small world, and its spatial strength couldn't withstand his power at all.
If he wants to continue improving his cultivation, the only way is to go to those rich and powerful vast worlds, or some legendary holy lands and forbidden zones.
This meant that he couldn't stay in his home world for long.
Of course, despite this, Lu Qing was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, I plan to rest at home for a while and make ample preparations before heading to the stars again.
"By the way, where are Wu Xing and Xiao Bai?"
At this moment, Lu Qing remembered that the other two little ones didn't seem to be at home.
He was able to sense that the Five Elements were in the east through the soul imprint.
But what was that guy doing running over there?
“They went to the East Sea,” Xiaoyan replied. “By the way, I haven’t told you yet, brother, that the Dragon Turtle Elder’s cultivation recovered a few years ago, and he underwent tribulation again to return to the Nascent Soul realm.”
When he was undergoing his tribulation, he invited Grandpa Chen and me to attend the ceremony.
Now, Wu Xing and Xiao Bai often go there to play and receive guidance from the senior Dragon Turtle.
"Senior Dragon Turtle has recovered his primordial spirit realm, that's good news." Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.
Surprisingly, this old dragon turtle recovered quite quickly.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the second person in his home world to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, besides himself.
The old dragon turtle contained a trace of "ancestral dragon" bloodline, and Wu Xing and Xiao Li had even refined the true blood it gave them.
Therefore, it is normal for the Five Elements and Xiaobai to be close to it.
"I'll send a message to Xiaobai right now and tell them to come back," Xiaoyan said.
"No need, I've already notified the Five Elements, they should be back soon," Lu Qing said with a smile.
The Five Elements are his enslaved spirit beasts. As long as the distance is not too far, Lu Qing can communicate with them through their souls.
Given Lu Qing's current cultivation level, he's still within his home world, so it's not considered far.
While waiting for Wuxing and Xiaobai to return, Lu Qing also cooked a meal.
Just as he finished cooking, Wu Xing and Xiao Bai returned.
After inviting the master down, everyone enjoyed a lively meal together, something they hadn't done in a long time.
That night, Lu Qing sat cross-legged in his room.
His primordial spirit leaped out from the acupoint between his eyebrows, merged with the ground, and rapidly fled into the depths of the earth.
Before long, they arrived in the world's origin space.
Looking at the origin of the world ahead, even though Lu Qing's strength has greatly increased and he is now able to step into the sixth tribulation of the primordial spirit realm.
His primordial spirit still appeared somewhat insignificant in the face of the vast origin of a world.
After all, this is the origin that has given birth to billions of living beings, and it contains all sorts of mysteries.
Even the essence of a Dao Integration Realm expert is still insufficient in front of it.
In the starry sky, those worlds, large and small, that nurture countless living beings, remain the most incredible miracles.
However, compared to the first time she came, Lu Qing felt it was much better.
When he first entered the Origin Space, he had to be very careful to avoid being harmed by the vast Origin of the World.
Now he is able to confront the source without worrying about damaging his foundation.
Of course, Lu Qing came to the Origin Space not to test the strength of his primordial spirit, but for another purpose.
His gaze fell on something at the origin of the world.
There, the primordial spirit imprint he planted with the [Ephemeral Life Chapter] is deeply rooted in the origin of the world.
Its size has also increased significantly, now a hundred times larger than it was at the beginning.
Of course, this volume is still as insignificant as dust compared to the very origin of the world.
The day when we can completely take over the origin and replace it is still a long way off.
However, Lu Qing was not in a hurry. In the end, the [Ephemeral World Entrusted to Life Chapter] was just a means of survival that he left for himself.
Even if he doesn't achieve great success in the end, he won't suffer any loss.
His reason for coming down here was that he had some feelings about returning to his home world.
It seems to be a primordial spirit imprint that sensed something at the origin of the world and came down to check it out.
Sitting cross-legged in the Origin Space, Lu Qing began to communicate and sense with his mind and primordial spirit imprint.
Because they share the same origin, there are no problems communicating between them.
Lu Qing's mind quickly entered the primordial spirit imprint without causing any reaction from the world's origin.
boom!
As soon as Lu Qing's mind entered the primordial spirit imprint, he sensed something different.
It felt as if I were bathed in the warmth of a grand avenue, surrounded by an endless flow of life force.
"It is the aura of the Great Dao of Life. That's right, the origin of the world nurtures all things, which is the best manifestation of the Great Dao of Life."
Lu Qing had a sudden realization.
When he first cultivated the [Ephemeral Life Transfer Chapter], his cultivation level was still shallow. After successfully transferring his life, he dared not enter the primordial spirit imprint with his mind.
I fear that my mind will be assimilated by the vast aura of the world's origin and I will be completely lost.
Now his realm has greatly increased. He has survived many tribulations of the primordial spirit and has also spent many years in the sea of laws comprehending the Great Dao.
Only in this way can one resist the aura of the world's origin, avoid being assimilated and lost, and even comprehend some of its mysteries.
It was through this enlightenment that Lu Qing sensed that the origin of the world contained boundless vitality.
It's almost as if it's the embodiment of the "Great Way of Life".
However, besides the [Great Dao of Life], Lu Qing also sensed the aura of other Great Daos.
For example, the Five Elements Dao, which he understood most deeply, is also contained within it.
"Yes, the various worlds, large and small, in the starry sky that nurture life are themselves incredible miracles of life, the result of the combined action of many great principles."
Within its very origin, the essence of the universe naturally contains the meaning of those great principles.
Furthermore, compared to the profound and obscure nature of the Great Dao within the Sea of Laws, the profound meanings of these Great Daos in the origin of the world seem to be easier to comprehend.
Lu Qing's current cultivation level is already quite high. Coupled with his excellent aptitude and special abilities, his comprehension is frighteningly high.
With just a little contemplation, he discovered many mysteries of the origin of the world.
It was precisely because of this that he felt even more strongly the extraordinary nature of the secret technique, the "Ephemeral Life-Giving Chapter".
"The master who created the [Mayfly's Destiny Chapter] was truly an unparalleled genius. This is probably the true use of this secret technique. That old guy was simply wasting its potential."
However, Lu Qing also knew that even if the cold old man knew these wonderful uses, he wouldn't be able to use them at all, given his level of cultivation.
Even he thought he already had a sufficient understanding of the secret technique, the "Ephemeral Life-Giving Chapter".
But as his cultivation level increased, he discovered that the mysteries of this secret technique were far more profound than he had imagined.
By imprinting one's primordial spirit, one can perceive the workings of the world's origin and thereby comprehend the profound meaning of the Great Dao within.
If one's level of understanding is not high enough, it is simply impossible to do this.
However, these discoveries were still just unexpected surprises; Lu Qing's purpose in coming here was not for this.
For decades, the primordial spirit imprint has been like a mayfly, residing in the origin of the world.
It may seem small, but its root system is quite extensive, with many roots even penetrating deep into the origin of the world.
Lu Qing's mind followed those roots, moving forward all the way.
Soon, we entered the deepest layers of the world's origin.
"Wait, what's that?"
Just as Lu Qing's mind was focused on the end of the "roots," he looked ahead.
The movement that the primordial spirit imprint sensed earlier came from ahead.
However, this glance sent a sudden jolt through his mind.
In the distance ahead, it seemed to be the very core of the world's origin.
A broken piece, resembling a jade block, lay quietly, emitting a faint glow.
The very center of the world's origin seemed to be slowly revolving around that jade piece.
Lu Qing even vaguely saw inconspicuous characters flash across the jade block.
At the very center of my homeland, the origin of the world, there is a piece of jade that is clearly not a natural object!
Seeing this unimaginable scene, how could Lu Qing not be shaken?
However, because of the great distance, no matter how hard he tried, he could never see through the true nature of the jade piece, let alone the words on it.
Even when using supernatural abilities to observe, there was absolutely no reaction.
After several attempts, Lu Qing even felt a wave of exhaustion and had no choice but to withdraw his mind and return to his primordial spirit. (End of Chapter)
