Ling Yun nodded in understanding before asking again. “Do you plan to take her with you? Some of her friends will come with us, so she won’t be lonely if you take her with us.”

“Brother-”

“I’ll come with you.” Ya Xixian said it immediately, without thinking twice. “I’ve been thinking about leaving this realm for a long time, but I find it hard to leave because of my late mother, and I don’t know any other realms besides her home realm. Furthermore, my cultivation is insufficient to travel to this realm, so I always suppress my desire to leave. I no longer want to suppress it, and I want to go to that mysterious tower to train so I can fulfill my dreams.”

Wu Gui looked up at her. “Do you really want to leave your father and two families?”

“My father never cared about me, so I can’t care about him either.” Ya Xixian fell silent for a while. “As for my mother’s family, they’re living not far from this area, but I’m not that close to them.”

“Didn’t your mother come from another realm?”

“Yes.” Ya Xixian nodded to Ling Yun. “They did come from another realm, and they moved to this realm several hundred years ago. That’s why my late mother always went to this southern ocean, especially since this place is almost identical to the sea in their home realm.”

“Do you really not mind bringing Xixian with us, Brother Chen?”

“It’s okay, she can leave with us.” After all, Ling Xi had read Ya Xixian’s memories, and she was kind-hearted but very lonely, so she offered it to him. “You like her, right?”

“Hahaha.” Wu Gui laughed awkwardly after hearing that, and he had indeed been attracted to Ya Xixian at first sight, but he had not thought about things that far, especially since they had only met today.

Ya Xixian turned to face Wu Gui, perplexed by his attraction to her. After all, he was a mythical beast, and she was just a demihuman, so she was far inferior to him. “I-”

“Hehe, you don’t need to say anything, Xixian.” Wu Gui immediately interrupted her. “I’m interested in you, and I want to explore a relationship with you first, so I’m happy with your decision to go with us.”

‘Shouldn’t there be many female mythical beasts in his realm? Why would he be attracted to a demihuman like me?’ Ya Xixian pondered deeply before responding. “Actually, I also somehow feel comfortable with you, but you are a mythical beast, and I am just a demihuman, so I feel strange about your attraction to me.”

“Xixian, love transcends racial boundaries.” Ya Xixian immediately looked at Ling Yun. “In fact, I was just an ordinary human before, but luck kept coming to me again and again. Even when I was still an ordinary human, I already had a mythical beast as one of my wives, and I now have several mythical beasts as my wives.”

Ya Xixian was stunned after hearing Ling Yun’s words, but she couldn’t deny that he did look like any other ordinary human. However, the aura she felt before was clearly not that of an ordinary human but that of a powerful beast, so it was difficult for her to accept his confession that he was previously an ordinary human.

“You can look at Long Qiu; she is an ordinary woman, and she is one of my wives that I brought here from our home realm. Besides, I still have many other wives, and their races vary, so you don’t need to think too much about the difference between you two.” Ling Yun then turned towards the dome again, especially since it was starting to lose its light and shrink rapidly. “Hmm? They seem to be done.”

Soon, the dome completely disappeared, and Zhang Xingcai stood there alone while holding an iron golden rod, which was none other than the Earth Vein Needle. “Husband, Yanjing has explained everything about this artifact, and this artifact weapon is truly extraordinary, but I can only use up to ten percent of its full potential for now.”

“That’s not a problem, right?” Then, Ling Yun pulled Zhang Xingcai into his arms. “Back then, I also couldn’t directly bring out my scythe’s full potential, and I need some time to be able to adapt perfectly to it. Moreover, you’re very smart, and I’m sure that you’ll be able to bring out the full potential of this ancient artifact in the future. As for your cultivation, you have me by your side, and I will always help you with that, so you don’t need to think about that.”

Zhang Xingcai sighed softly and nodded to Ling Yun. “Let’s go back. Ouyang Wanqing and Qi Hong’er must have been waiting for you by now, especially since they were so eager to dual-cultivate with you.”

Ling Yun then turned to Zhou Yu, who immediately opened a void door connecting to their resting location, and she led them all away from the seabed.

Once they vanished, the previously divided water reunited, bringing a sense of relief to the old beast in the distance. “After more than a million years, the ancient artifact has finally vanished, allowing us to live in peace, free from the disturbances of that female spirit. However, I’m curious about what will happen in the future, especially since the Primordial Chaos Dragon has returned, and I hope I’m still alive to witness the changes he brings to this universe, especially for our beasts.”

When they arrived at the location, Ya Xixian was stunned again, especially after she saw Song Yu, Huang Yin, and Lie Ying among the women and people closest to Ling Yun.

“Eh? Xixian? How did you get together with them?” Song Su’s question brought Ya Xixian back to her senses, and she immediately explained to them about her encounter with Wu Gui, but she didn’t mention the ancient artifact, especially since it was already in Zhang Xingcai’s possession. “Do you really want to leave this realm?”

“Yes.” Ya Xixian nodded with a determined look. “I want to become strong, and leaving this realm is the best way to do that, so I won’t change my mind again.”

Unlike Song Su, Huang Yin is more curious about Wu Gui, especially after Lie Ying tells her that he is a mythical beast, the black tortoise. ‘This Mo Chen is simply absurd! He has several female mythical beasts and spirit women as his wives, and he also has relationships with other mythical beasts, so I believe that no one in these upper realms will be able to fight them.’

Unfortunately, Huang Yin still didn’t know their exact situation, and many other cultivators were still able to defeat and kill them, so she also didn’t know that they would face an extremely powerful enemy soon.

“Actually, not only the three of us, but Long Jue and Er Xiyi have decided to go with them.” Ya Xixian was even more shocked when she heard Song Su’s words and looked for the two people among them. “They’re training in another area right now, but I think they’ll be back here soon.”

“I see.” Ya Xixian nodded in understanding as she glanced at Ling Yun, who was being dragged away by two women, but she also noticed another woman following them. After that, she looked at Feng Ruxue and the others, and she immediately realized that they were mythical beasts. ‘He didn’t lie to me, and he really has some mythical beasts on his side.’

Song Su then pulled Ya Xixian to sit with her and two other female demihumans, and they talked about their future plans after leaving the Burial Realm, but they still had to go to their parents to inform them of their decision to go with Ling Yun and the others.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun and the three women had arrived in another area, but there was nothing there except shady trees. “Do you really want to join us, Gongzhu?”

“Yes.” Yun Gongzhu replied with a nod. “Actually, I’m on the verge of breaking through to the next stage, so I hope your yang qi can provide a boost for me to break through.”

Ling Yun nodded in understanding, and he had no objections to that. “All right, I will give you as much yang qi as possible, and I hope it can help you break through. Moreover, I am almost ready to break through to the Peak Saint Realm, but I still need quite a bit of yin qi to do so, so I also need your help to break through.”

“Are you serious about breaking through in this realm, Mo Chen?” Ouyang Wanqing asked with a worried expression, especially since they still didn’t have much information about those demihumans, especially their higher-ups.

Qi Hong’er also expressed her opinion directly. “Mo Chen, I think it would be better if you didn’t break through in this realm, and you might be able to do it in the other realms we passed through on the way to the mysterious realm.”

“Ha ha.” Ling Yun laughed at their worries. “Hey, I’m just saying that I’m almost ready to break through, but I hadn’t thought about breaking through today. Furthermore, you guys know that they can’t break through Zhou Yu’s void walls, so you two don’t need to worry too much about them, okay?”
