Where did he live?
Is it where he lives, or the sect where he used to cultivate immortality?
No, no, no, he definitely won't go back to that sect.
Could it be...?
"Should we go to the State of Jin? Or to the Cangyue Valley where the Bai clan resides?"
"Go to Jin first, then go to Cangyue Valley."
Yunze tidied her wind-blown hair and gave her a simple reply.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Lin Qianqian did not ask any further questions.
The two had discussed Yunze's background a hundred years ago when they were in Yunxu Realm, and they had learned a lot more about it since then.
On the Bai family's side, he has an uncle who is a cultivator and is still alive.
It's understandable that Yunze would take me back to my mother's clan to meet my relatives; it's like I'm meeting the parents. To be honest, I'm a little nervous!
But he must have hated his father's family, the Jin royal family, so why would he want to take her with him?
This is a cultivation world, where cultivators reside in blessed lands rich in spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in places inhabited by mortals is relatively thin, but because of the presence of spiritual energy, mortals have a longer lifespan.
However, mortals cannot cultivate without spiritual roots, and even if they live a long life, they can only live for a little over a hundred years.
A hundred years ago, Yunze returned to the Jin Kingdom after leaving the Yunxu Realm, seventy or eighty years after he left the Jin Kingdom.
Most of those who had bullied him were dead, and very few of his brothers who had oppressed him were still alive, and they were all very old.
Seeing Yunze, who was nearly a hundred years old, yet still looked young, handsome, and ethereal.
His old buddies were so envious and so jealous.
They knew that Yunze had been taken away by an immortal to cultivate, but the path to immortality was extremely difficult, and those who succeeded were extremely rare. Otherwise, the Yun royal family would not have lost their path to immortality.
But unexpectedly, Yunze not only succeeded in his cultivation, but also returned to seek revenge.
Yunze is determined to settle all scores and grudges. He wants to give an explanation to his other self in the ending, and at the same time, he wants to atone for his sins.
In another ending, he indirectly caused countless deaths and injuries among the people of this country, leading to widespread suffering. He must bear this sin and settle this karmic debt.
The root cause is that the Yun clan of the Jin state is completely rotten from top to bottom, and the entire court is in a state of chaos.
Yunze killed the incompetent and foolish emperor of the time, deposed the unambitious, incompetent, and immoral main branch of the royal family, and selected a relatively outstanding one from the collateral branches to become the new king of Jin.
Then, in the drought-stricken areas across the country, he used magic to summon wind and rain, and in the flood-stricken areas, he cracked the ground to divert water, helping the victims and saving their fields and houses.
The newly enthroned emperor was also very wise and diligent. With the support of Yunze, he reorganized the court and promulgated new policies. In just a few years, the Jin Kingdom was completely transformed.
He also instructed the new emperor to restart the Imperial Observatory, selecting children with spiritual roots from the Jin Kingdom to join the Imperial Observatory and pass on cultivation methods.
It was stipulated that all those who had achieved mastery of cultivation within the Imperial Observatory must go out every year to slay demons, eliminate disasters, bring rain, and cure diseases.
Yunze was thus worshipped by countless people in the State of Jin!
This time, I brought Lin Qianqian back simply to show her the place where I lived with my mother when I was a child, and to tell her about my background.
After hearing Yunze introduce Lin Qianqian as his Daoist partner, the current emperor of Jin wisely opened the family genealogy and recorded Lin Qianqian on Yunze's page. He also ordered her royal attire to be made immediately.
I forgot to mention that Yunze in the Jin Kingdom has his own royal palace, and his title is: Immortal King Who Guards the Nation.
The two stayed at the Prince's mansion for quite some time, and Lin Qianqian once again experienced a life of being waited on hand and foot by a large group of servants.
The emperor also gifted Lin Qianqian, his princess consort, with countless jewels, fine clothes, and other precious items.
Of course, she didn't just enjoy the benefits for nothing; she also contributed some items that were beneficial to people's livelihoods.
For example, the recipes for iron smelting, sugar smelting, and salt smelting. The salt smelting method was different from the sun-drying method used to sell salt to the tiger demons, because the Jin state was located by the sea in the east.
These recipes would fetch astronomical prices in this world, but she brought them out for Yunze's sake.
In addition, some books on sound policies for governing the country were selected for the emperor's reference, such as the imperial examination system, commercial taxes, and the land system.
The reforms to these systems faced numerous difficulties, but with these two individuals involved, the implementation went much more smoothly.
The couple never directly intervened, treating themselves as the centerpiece of the establishment.
Once he sits in the imperial court, no matter how treacherous or wicked a person is, they dare not cause trouble.
Moreover, Lin Qianqian comes from the information-rich planet Earth, so she can often offer unprofessional but reliable advice.
When June arrived, the two returned to Xuanhai Market, obtained the pills from Xuanhuang Pavilion and the robes from Huarongfang, and paid off the remaining balance.
For the past six months, the Dan Sect has mobilized the entire sect to secure this large order.
Even those ancient relics who had been in seclusion for a long time came out of seclusion to rush to deliver those rare spiritual plants that had disappeared from the cultivation world.
The Tian Suo Sect, in order to deliver the goods on time, asked the Jade Maiden Sect, with whom they had a fairly good relationship, for help. Of course, they also gave the female cultivators of the Jade Maiden Sect a lot of good things.
When the August deadline arrived, they went to the Sword City Mountain Market again and retrieved the goods from the Weapon Sect.
With just over half a month left, the two bid farewell to the Emperor of Jin, and Yunze took her back to Cangyue Valley, where his mother's clan, the Bai family, lived.
The special bloodline of the Bai family in Cangyue Valley has been passed down through generations, with each generation producing several people with spiritual roots who are capable of cultivation.
Unlike the Yun royal family, which has always intermarried with outsiders, their ancient bloodline is extremely thin, and they haven't produced any cultivation talents for a long time.
Most of the elders on Yunze's mother's side have passed away, but one brother who became a cultivator is still alive—Yunze's third maternal uncle.
A hundred years ago, when Yunze returned with his mother's ashes, his third uncle cried uncontrollably.
His third uncle regretted that he shouldn't have refused to go to his sister out of spite because Yunze's mother had remarried without his consent.
I never imagined she had such a hard life and died so young.
Enraged, she wanted to dig up Yunze's father's grave and kill all those who had bullied Yunze and his mother. She only stopped after hearing from Yunze that he had already taken his revenge.
His third uncle has kept the courtyard where his mother lived for many years, so Yunze would stay there for a while every time he returned to Cangyue Valley.
Yunze has returned to pay respects to his mother several times in the past century.
He still hasn't found his mother's soul in this life; she must have been reincarnated long ago.
Although I feel some regret, I still wish my mother a lifetime of happiness and good fortune, and peace and well-being.
Now that Qianqian is by his side, the pain in his heart has gradually healed.
Lin Qianqian formally paid her respects to Yunze's third uncle and the Bai clan members, who all presented her with gifts.
Because of their bloodline, the people of Cangyue Valley are all insightful and easy to get along with.
They stayed in Cangyue Valley for a while, and Lin Qianqian shared many of the things she brought with them.
The children in the valley are especially happy to receive snacks and candies.
She also gave the mirror and clothing that she had specially kept to a female elder in the clan who was very kind to her.
In their final days, they left Crescent Moon Valley.
They rushed to a market famous for its talismans and bought as many as possible without attracting attention.
On the day of their return, the two left the town and found a safe place in the wild to quietly wait for their return.
Before teleporting, Lin Qianqian asked the system, "This time I brought back some spirit beast eggs, some of which are quite intelligent. Will I be punished?"
"No, this was a solo time travel trip purchased with points. As long as it wasn't taken away by force or deception, it's not considered a violation."
Lin Qianqian nodded, thinking to herself that the 60 points were well spent.
Before the countdown to time travel began, Yunze held her hand tightly, afraid that Lin Qianqian would disappear alone without him...
