"Elder Liu, in which Daozhou is the Ancient Liu Family located?" Su Han asked, posing the crucial question.
Liu Rui replied in a heavy tone, seemingly reluctant to discuss it further, "The Ancient Liu Family isn't in the Eastern Region, but in Liuzhou of the Central Plains!"
"The Central Plains!" Lu Yunxian exclaid in shock.
The Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm contained Three Thousand Dao States, but it was divided into five great continents: the Eastern Region, the Central Plains, the Western Desert, the Northern Plains, and the Southern Frontier. These five landmasses were separated by forbidden seas, making travel between them as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The Ancient Liu Family was not in the Eastern Region but in the distant Central Plains. The distance was simply too great, so Lu Yunxian imdiately shook her head in refusal. She didn't want to be so far away from Su Han.
"Yun Xian, the 'Great Dao Azure Emperor Scripture' you've obtained is no Mortal Cultivation Technique; it's a Divine-Level Cultivation Technique that only gods can cultivate. Your Physique manifested as the Qing Emperor, which proves you are a descendant of the Qing Emperor—a daughter of the divine. The Qingmu Spirit Body is likely just a facade; your innate talent and potential are far greater than that."
"Your talent is unprecedented, rivaling even the ancient prodigies. In the future, you may even have the chance to break through to the Great Emperor realm and ascend to godhood. For soone like you to remain in the Seven Stars Sect would be a colossal loss."
"Moreover, your Origin Wound is severe and requires Immortality dicine and Divine dicine to heal. With your talent, you will surely receive priority training if you join the Ancient Liu Family, and your Origin Wound can be cured."
Although Liu Rui was unwilling to speak of the Ancient Liu Family, let alone return there, she decided to put everything aside for Lu Yunxian's sake.
"But..." Lu Yunxian, gentle by nature, knew Liu Rui ant well, but she was still worried about Su Han.
"You've already seen his talent. Besides, with Lei Ming here, he won't be in any danger. If you truly want to protect him, you must first beco strong yourself. Otherwise, you'll only be a burden to him. Do you want him to risk life and limb searching for Immortality dicine and Divine dicine for you?" Liu Rui, aware of the bond between Lu Yunxian and Su Han, spoke directly to the point.
Ever since their ti in the Tianqing Dynasty, Su Han had always been the one taking care of Lu Yunxian. She was keenly aware of this fact. She had always wanted to grow stronger to protect Su Han, and going to the Ancient Liu Family was her chance.
"Fairy Sister Yun Xian, you should go with Elder Liu. Though the Central Plains are far away, I will definitely make my way there soday. When that ti cos, I'll find you at the Ancient Liu Family," Su Han said with a brilliant smile, comforting her.
Though his heart ached with reluctance, he knew Liu Rui was right. With Lu Yunxian's talent, staying here would be a terrible waste. Going to the Ancient Liu Family was the best choice. At the very least, her Origin Wound and limited lifespan would be addressed, and she would receive focused training, giving her a future without limits. As for the Central Plains, despite the distance, Su Han had faith that he would one day leave the Eastern Region and travel there himself.
The words of Liu Rui and Su Han finally convinced Lu Yunxian to agree.
"Little Han, I will train as hard as I can, and then I'll return to the Eastern Region to find you!" The desire to protect Su Han gave Lu Yunxian an intense longing to beco stronger; it was her driving force, her very lifeblood.
"We mustn't delay. Let's set off imdiately. Lei Ming, I'll leave matters here to you," Liu Rui said decisively. The Interdiate Grade Spirit Vein had dried up, and the other elders were sure to notice, which would lead to endless trouble. Eager to depart, she took Lu Yunxian and left at once.
Watching Lu Yunxian's departing figure, Su Han was filled with reluctance, but he understood this was the best choice for his Fairy Sister Yun Xian.
"Master, why is Elder Liu in the Seven Stars Sect instead of the Central Plains?" Su Han asked, withdrawing his gaze.
The Ancient Liu Family was imnsely more powerful than the Seven Stars Sect, and the cultivation environnt in the Central Plains was far superior to that of the Eastern Region. He didn't quite understand why Liu Rui would abandon the Central Plains to co here.
"I'm not sure of the specifics," Lei Ming replied. "But it seems Elder Liu was gravely injured and rescued by the old Sect Master, which is why she has remained in the Seven Stars Sect all this ti." Liu Rui was even older than Lei Ming, and she would never bring up such old matters herself, so he didn't know much. "But don't worry," he added, patting Su Han's shoulder comfortingly. "Elder Liu may appear cold, but she has a warm heart. Since she decided to take Lu Yunxian to the Ancient Liu Family, she will definitely take good care of her."
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Soon, several figures tore through space and erged. They were the five remaining Supre Realm elders of the Seven Stars Sect. The drying up of the Interdiate Grade Spirit Vein was a major event, and they could not ignore it. However, Lei Ming had already prepared his excuses. After a heated argunt, they decided to temporarily shelve the matter until Ye Chuanfeng returned.
Ye Chuanfeng's powerful return, coupled with his newfound backing from the Tian Lou Saint, had already caused many in the sect to follow his lead.
Su Han and Lei Ming returned to Yaoguang Peak, only to be placed under house arrest and surveillance, awaiting Ye Chuanfeng's return to decide their fate.
"Su Han, Ye Chuanfeng is selfish and puts his own interests first," Lei Ming warned gravely. "Now that he has the backing of the Tian Lou Saint, he will undoubtedly try to curry favor in every way possible. With your astounding talent and your ranking on the prodigy list, he will surely target you. You must be careful!"
"Don't worry, Master. I know how to handle myself," Su Han nodded, ntally preparing himself.
Now that Ning Feifan was gone with the Taiyin Demon Venerable, Lu Yunxian with Liu Rui, and Su Tian with Qin Wushuang to the Heavenly Demon Cult, Su Han had no other ties left in the Seven Stars Sect apart from Lei Ming.
Qin Wushuang, I never imagined you would beco a traitor. But this is for the best. Now I can take my revenge openly! The Heavenly Demon Cult and Qin Wushuang were both my enemies. Now that they have joined forces, it actually saves so trouble.
He decided his next goals would be to slay Su Tian and Qin Wushuang, and to annihilate the Heavenly Demon Cult. Of course, he hadn't forgotten his other three enemies: the Great Qian King, Wang Tianqing, and the Demon Slayer Sect. Su Han was soone who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred; he would never let a single enemy go.
For the ti being, Su Han remained on Yaoguang Peak to cultivate, taking the opportunity to refine the vast number of treasures he had purchased from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
His Nine Heavens Eye broke through to the Second Layer, his Great Luo Golden Bones increased to one hundred, and his Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds cultivation reached the Second Tone. The many Divine thods and techniques he commanded saw great improvent. The only thing that remained unchanged was his cultivation realm, which was still stuck at the First Layer of the Physique Realm.
Another month passed. Su Han had fully integrated all his techniques, elevating them to a new level.
On this day, Lei Ming took the initiative to find him.
"Ye Chuanfeng is back. He has summoned us to the Sect Leader's Hall. I'll go with you. Be careful."
