[Quest: Killing Four Hundred Beasts in the King Realm and Above]
[Status: Accomplished]
[Reward: Battle Gift Pack-7]
"Phew! Fortunately, my cultivation has reached the Peak Emperor Realm, and my overall strength has improved a lot, so I can complete this quest easily."
Suddenly, Yue Tu flew towards him and lay on his head. "Shall we return to the sect now, Mo Chen?"
"We-"
Before Ling Yun could answer his question, the portal to the Yin-Yang Chamber suddenly opened, and Ling Xi led his wives out, but they were stunned after they sensed their husband's cultivation.
"How can your cultivation improve five stages at once?" Ling Xi was the first to ask him. "Did you manage to get the dragon core?"
"No." Ling Yun shook his head. "There are only his dragon bones in that cave, and my cultivation can improve because someone helped me."
"Who is she?" Zhou Yu asked him.
"Hmm?" Ling Yun thought for a moment before telling him. "At first, I thought that it was the Time Lord who was helping me, but it was another person who helped me, especially since my light element has also reached peak level."
"Light Qi?"
"Yes."
Zhou Lalu said to him again. "If that's true, the person who helped you is the goddess of life; only she has the purest light qi."
"But what is the purpose of that woman helping him, Big Sis Yu?" Yi Mingxia asked in confusion.
Zhou Yu shook her head. "I don't know; I've never met her myself, so I don't understand her character, let alone her purpose in helping him."
"Whatever her reasons, this is really good for us, right?" Ling Yu'er said to them. "Since his cultivation has reached the Peak Emperor Realm, our husband can help us to improve our cultivation, and we can prepare ourselves to face the spirit race."
*Gasp*
Ling Yun and the others immediately turned to Lei Lin, and Lian Bing asked her. "What happened? Why is your expression like that?"
Lei Lin let out a heavy sigh. "My big brother left me a message, and he asked me to return to the spirit realm."
"Did the spirit emperor really send Lei Zhong to hunt us down?" Ling Xi asked with a frown.
"Yes." Lei Lin then told them. "My big brother and several spirit guardians are on their way to the lower realms to look for you two, and the spirit emperor also ordered his right hand to contact Superbia and the other four to track you guys down."
"Who are Superbia and the other four?" Feng Ruxue asked her because she had never heard of them.
"Superbia is the spirit of pride." Ling Xi answered her question. "The other four are Avaritia, the spirit of greed. Gula, the spirit of gluttony. Ira, the spirit of wrath. And Acedia, the spirit of sloth. They are immortal spirits like me and Invidia, and any one of them can track my whereabouts, so we have to be prepared to face them soon."
"So, what should we do now?" Yi Mingzhu and the others looked at Ling Xi and Ling Yun in turn.
Ling Xi thought for some time before telling them. "Even though they can track me, they can't track all of you, so it doesn't matter if you guys return to your sects. Even so, it would be better if Xiao Yin brought the Celestial Fortress into the subspace, so all of you could escape there once the spirit guardians arrived in this realm."
"But-"
"No buts." Ling Yun immediately stopped Ling Yin. "I know you guys want to help me fight them, but all of you aren't strong enough for that, and I don't want to see any of you get hurt, so I agree with Ling Xi's idea."
"Then what about you, husband?" Su Fei asked with a worried look.
Ling Yun activated his light qi to calm them down, and he then told them. "Honestly, I have plans regarding them, but I won't act crazy by fighting them head-on, and I'm thinking of going to the Mysterious Tower that Senior Tang Chen told me about before."
"Eh?"
Ye Jing then took his hand. "Are you really going to go to that tower? I know that your cultivation meets the requirements to train there, but you don't know anything about the unique beasts that live there."
"Hey, Jing'er, you're worrying too much." Ling Ling said to her while shaking her head. "Even though we don't know anything about the beasts in the tower, our husband is different from others, and he can definitely deal with them."
They nodded in agreement with her words, and Ling Yun asked Ling Xi. "How long will it take before they can find your whereabouts?"
"I think they will find me within a month, and they will inform the spirit emperor directly."
"A month, huh?" Ling Yun then asked Zhou Yu. "How long will it take for us to go to earth through the void?"
"Haha." Zhou Yu laughed before telling him. "We need a week to go back and forth between the two realms if we go through the void, and we won't meet the spirit guardians. Moreover, the distance from the spirit realm to earth is quite far, and our race's flying artifacts are a little slow, so they will arrive there more or less in a month. However, if Superbia and the others tell the emperor about Big Sis's whereabouts in this realm, he will probably come here immediately to capture you two."
"We still have plenty of time to prepare ourselves then." Ling Yun said as he nodded in understanding, and he then said to his women. "In that case, Zhou Yu will send you all back now, and I will ask Xiao Yin to take the fortress into subspace. After that, I will go to earth to take the armor from the illusion forest, so I can be more ready to face them."
After they agreed, Zhou Yu sent the women back to Yunlong Zuzhai, the Hidden Sea Palace, and the Hidden Valley Sect. Only a few of them remained, as they would return to the Eternal Spring Sect.
'You heard our conversation, right, Xiao Yin?'
[Yes, master, I will inform them, and I will take the fortress into subspace afterward.]
'That's good.'
"Are we going back now, husband?" Xiao Xiao asked him.
"En." Ling Yun nodded to her. "Our missions are finished now, and I've also trained enough, so we'll return to our sect. However, me and Zhou Yu will go to earth tomorrow, so you guys have to be careful in the sect, especially of the woman named Tao Ruirui."
Jiao Lu smiled wryly at the name of her master, and she became worried because Tao Ruirui would punish him if he found out that he had dual-cultivated with Ling Yun.
Suddenly, Yun Gongzhu asked him. "Can I go with you guys to that planet?"
"Hmm?" Ling Yun turned to her in surprise, but he agreed to her request. "All right, I will take you with us tomorrow."
After Zhou Yu returned to their side, Ling Yun asked the other three women to gather, and he then asked the two female beasts. "Are you two going to go with us?"
"Yes." Tian Lanyi replied with a nod. "You are my master, and some danger will come to you soon, so I will stay by your side to protect you. As for Long Xiang, you don't need to think about her, and she will follow me wherever I go. Anyway, Jiu Shen and Jin Zhongli are on their way here, and they will arrive here soon."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun was taken aback for a moment when he heard that. "That's great! I can't wait to meet them, as I want to open the other two seals as soon as possible."
Afterwards, Ling Yun asked Zhuang Yuan and Mu Yan, who were watching them from a tree in the distance. "Are you two going to keep following me?"
"Shu'er asked me to protect you, so I will follow you." Mu Yan was the first to answer his question.
Zhuang Yuan also gave her answer. "You don't need to care about me, and I'll just watch you from afar with Yanyan."
"Up to you two, then."
After Tian Yueling, Nangong Nichang, and Qiao Lingzhi arrived, Zhou Yu brought them back to the Eternal Spring Sect.
After they disappeared, Mu Yan sighed softly and said. "That kid's problem is really complicated, and I still can't imagine them fighting openly with the spirit race. Perhaps their fight will change many things in the future."
"That's true." Zhuang Yuan nodded in agreement with her. "Moreover, Tang Chen decided to side with that kid, and he also has high hopes for him, so I want to know what kind of changes he will bring in the future."
"Let's go, Big Sis Yuan; we have to go to the Eternal Spring Sect to protect that kid."

After they arrived at the sect, Ling Yun asked the women to report the results of their missions, and he went straight back to their residence, but Yun Gongzhu followed him there.
Meanwhile, Yue Tu and Jiao Lu went straight back to their master's place, as they wanted to tell them everything that had happened before.
As for Tian Lanyi and Long Xiang, they did not enter the sect, but they continued to pay attention to Ling Yun with their senses, and Zhou Yu went to see Tian Ya to talk to him.
However, Liu Chuqing was waiting for him there, and she handed the points from the sale of his yang qi. "There are four bottles left, as the two female disciples have not returned to the sect."
