"This is fantastic news!" Zuan's gloomy mood brightened for her. "But why doesn't your strength seem to have improved significantly?"
He used his aura to sense Yun Yuqing. Her strength had indeed improved compared to before. She used to be a Grandmaster at the second level of the Heavenly Soul Realm, but now she had reached the Earth Immortal Yang God Realm. She had improved by two realms at once. If she were in the previous cultivation world, this speed would have been absolutely astonishing.
But this is in the Heavenly Court world, and she possesses the purest Heavenly Emperor bloodline. Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor Zhuanxu personally activated her bloodline power, so this increase is somewhat insignificant.
Yun Yuqing straightened his disheveled clothes before answering, "Zhuanxu told me that my current cultivation level is too low. If I were to raise my strength too high all at once, my body wouldn't be able to handle it. So he simply unlocked my bloodline power, allowing me to cultivate and improve naturally, so that my foundation could be more stable."
Zuan nodded secretly; what Zhuanxu said made a lot of sense: "What exactly is the power of the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline?"
Yun Yuqing's eyes were also somewhat confused: "Actually, I can't explain it clearly either. Zhuanxu just told me that my current realm is not yet high enough, and I will naturally understand many mysteries in the future. Right now, I only know that with this bloodline power, my cultivation speed will probably be ten or a hundred times faster than before."
Zuan was extremely surprised. Putting aside the other supernatural abilities of this bloodline, the speed of cultivation alone was already outrageous.
"By the way, how did you unlock your bloodline power?" Zuan thought of how the True Demon Clan had longed for this, but in the end, it was all for naught.
I learned from Emperor Yao that when the Lord of Slaughter and his daughter escaped, the elders of the True Demon Clan also fled with them.
The Lord of Slaughter wanted to recruit them, since the father and daughter were in dire need of help at the time. However, the elders of the True Demon Clan valued the activation of bloodline power more. They agreed on the surface, but then secretly ran away under some pretext to find the legendary method to activate bloodline power.
As luck would have it, they actually found him—they ran into Di Jun.
If Di Jun were willing, he could indeed help them activate their bloodline power. Unfortunately, at that time, Di Jun urgently needed living souls to refine the Myriad Soul Banner, and the fate of the elders was self-evident.
"Zhuanxu took me to a garden in the Heavenly Court, where it seemed that the Heavenly Emperors of past dynasties were worshipped..." Along the way, Yun Yuqing recounted her previous experiences, which even Zu An found amazing.
The two chatted all the way back to Wushan without realizing it.
At the summit, Ji Xiaoxi was pounding medicine, Suolunshi was practicing swordsmanship, and the Goddess of Wushan was habitually standing on the cliff in a daze.
Xie Daoyun sat by the window, silently drawing everything on the mountaintop.
There were clearly several people there, but the only sound on the mountaintop was the howling of the mountain wind; everything was so quiet it was almost oppressive.
Zuan suddenly felt that the scene before him was a bit strange. Apart from the Goddess of Wushan, the clothes and appearance of the other women were very different from what they had been wearing before they parted ways.
But then I thought about it again, and it's not surprising that women love beauty and change their clothes and makeup every day.
Ji Xiaoxi glanced at Zu An and subconsciously shook her head: "Ouch, my eyes are playing tricks on me again."
It seemed as if she had seen similar scenes far too many times before.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Zu'an asked, somewhat puzzled.
Thump!
The pestle in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces. She looked up in disbelief: "Brother Zu?"
The other girls noticed the situation and turned to look. When they saw Zu An, they all rushed over excitedly.
The Goddess of Wushan ran a few steps, but her usual pride made her stop abruptly.
Sorenshi also stopped, somewhat feeling sorry for herself.
Xie Daoyun had fewer concerns; being the furthest away, she rushed forward the fastest.
However, Ji Xiaoxi was even faster than her, throwing herself into Zu An's arms and bursting into tears.
Feeling the trembling body of the girl in his arms, and the faint tears in the eyes of the other girls, Zu An was taken aback: "It's only been a day since we parted, why are you all reacting so strongly?"
"What do you mean 'one day'? We've been waiting for you for a whole year!"
Ji Xiaoxi said, her voice choked with emotion.
A thought flashed through Zuan's mind: A day in heaven is a year on earth!
He had actually heard this sentence many times, but either he hadn't been to the Heavenly Court before, or if he had, he would leave very quickly and it was hard for him to feel the rapid changes in time.
But this time, because he couldn't bear to part with the Mermaid Queen, he stayed there for the entire day.
Only now do I realize that a full year has passed in the lower realms!
He was immediately filled with remorse and said to the women, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
The Goddess of Wushan smiled faintly: "It's alright. A year isn't a long time for me. It's just that the others might not be used to this difference in time."
She often sits in a daze atop Mount Wu, where a year, or even a decade or a century, is but a fleeting moment.
At this moment, Xie Daoyun also composed herself: "Brother Zu, what we fear most is that there is a problem with that teleportation portal. If it weren't for Sister Goddess mentioning that one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth, we might have already run off to fight Emperor Yao to the death."
As the other girls approached, Ji Xiaoxi felt embarrassed to stay in Zu An's arms any longer and quickly stepped aside, a happy smile appearing on her tear-streaked face.
"It was my oversight that I forgot to remind you." Zu'an couldn't help but look up at the sky. With such an exaggerated time scale in the Heavenly Court, could it be that the Heavenly Court is located near some kind of black hole?
“You’ve only been to the Heavenly Court twice, so it’s normal that you don’t realize this,” the Goddess of Wushan said, trying to comfort him. If the Six Enlightened Witches were here, they would probably marvel at how the usually cold goddess had become so understanding.
