Bu Tianbeng looked up into the sky after he saw the shadow of an artifact flying, but he was shocked when he saw two people descending. 'They've finally arrived, huh?'
Jing Shen ignored him and walked towards the forest, but Zhu Ling had differing thoughts from his advisor, so he approached Bu Tianbeng, causing him to tremble to feel his calm but frightening aura.
"I didn't expect that you would recognize my identity; it turns out that you have a relationship with Tang Chen." Bu Tianbeng froze after he heard Zhu Ling's words, and he realized that he was reading his memories. "At first, I came here to look for Tian Huang, but I don't need to waste my time meeting him, as I've gotten the location of Ling Yun from your memories."
"Where are they now?" Jing Shen asked as he glanced at Bu Tianbeng.
"They are on their way to the mysterious realm because Ling Yun wants to train in that tower." Zhu Ling then pointed towards the northern region. "However, some of his family still lives in that region now, but our targets are only him and Luxuria, so we don't need to care about them."
After he said that, Zhu Ling boarded his flying artifact again, and he also ordered Jing Shen to order the spirit guardians to follow them to the mysterious realm at full speed, especially since he himself didn't know for sure about the situation in the tower.
Jing Shen followed behind him as he carried out his orders, but Zhu Ling didn't notice the strange smile on his face.
After they left, Bu Tianbeng stomped on his feet to the ground and dashed into the mist forest, where he took out an artifact and a device from his storage ring. 'Damn it! That male spirit seems to be plotting something behind Zhu Ling's back, so I have to tell Tian Huang, or the situation will become very bad, especially since we still have to face those heretics.'
On his journey to the Ancient Garden, Bu Tianbeng encountered Huang Gai engaged in combat with two colossal beasts akin to apes, clad in stone armor. Their attacks repeatedly pushed him back, leaving his body covered with wounds and blood. 'Fortunately, Tang Chen gave me this concealing artifact, or else these beasts would also attack me, and I would meet the same fate as that bastard.'
Bu Tianbeng then increased his speed and moved faster towards the Ancient Garden, and he was fortunate to have a device that could see the gaps in those misleading formations, so he could find the actual path.
Huang Gai, who was having a hard time dealing with the two beasts, decided to run away. After all, he had also been lost in the forest for three full days, and his qi had been drained a lot after fighting with other beasts before. 'Fuck! These two beasts are too powerful! Even with my cultivation in the lower supreme god realm, I'm still no match for them!'
Seeing the two beasts continuing to chase him, Huang Gai decided to take out a pill and swallow it, and a surge of qi burst out from his body, which made his speed increase several times. 'I can't continue relying on this pill, and I have to find a safe place to hide! Otherwise, my internal organs wouldn't be able to tolerate the side effects, and I would die if they stopped functioning.'

Sometime later, Bu Tianbeng arrived at the Ancient Garden, and he approached Tian Huang, who was watching his clan members check the condition of the people from the Ouyang Clan.
"Old Huang! The spirit emperor had already arrived, and he got Mo Chen's location from my memories, so he headed straight to the mysterious tower to chase after him." Tian Huang was not surprised because Zhou Yu had already informed him of their arrival time, but Bu Tianbeng's next words made him frown. "However, his advisor seems to be plotting something without his knowledge; I saw a strange smile on his face, and he probably ordered some of the spirit guardians to capture people in the northern region."
Tian Huang nodded repeatedly after hearing that. "My master has told me that Jing Shen is indeed not a good person, and many people suspect that he was involved in the disappearance of the old spirit emperor, but they don't have any proof of his involvement. Besides, Senior Yu also suspects that he has changed sides with those heretics, so she asked some people to protect the northern region. Meng Xianzi is also there, and those spirit guardians will never be able to do anything to them in front of her presence."
"Are you sure?" After Tian Huang nodded, Bu Tianbeng told him about the news he got from his daughter that Tang Chen had ascended to the supreme realm, which greatly surprised and challenged him, and he also told him about Hundun's condition. "Anyway, I ran into Huang Gai on my way here, but I didn't dare attack him because he was fighting two beasts much stronger than me, and I didn't think he would survive."
"I had expected that, but I didn't want to underestimate Huang Guai, and I was afraid that he would manage to escape from those beasts, so we should wait for him at the entrance. If he managed to survive their attacks, then we'll kill him straight away."
"Then what about this place? Can your people stop him?" Bu Tianbeng asked as he followed Tian Huang away.
"Tian Xu's cultivation is slightly below Huang Gai's, and he should be able to deal with him as long as he's not at his peak state. Besides, there are still a few other people here, so they should be able to stop him." Hearing that, Bu Tianbeng turned to those people, nodding in understanding. "Let's go. I will order some of my clan's people to go to the northern region, and I will also ask Zhuang Yuan and Ao Yangyu for that."

In a faraway realm, three adults and a little girl were sitting together, but the little girl suddenly spoke. "Grandpa! Zhu Ling has already gotten Ling Yun and Luxuria's location; he is chasing after them now. However, Jing Shen has a hidden plan, and he wants to capture his family to use as hostages."
"Little Yuyan, your abilities make me jealous, you know?" A young woman asked in her hypnotically melodious voice.
Despite her youthful appearance, the woman was actually no less old than Ling Xi, and she had also lived through various eras like hers. She has blonde hair that flows down to the floors, with bangs covering her forehead. Her green eyes look clear like crystal, her ears are pointy like an elf, but she's not an elf, and her lips look sensual.
Even though she looks young, like a girl in her twenties, she has a mature and alluring figure, and her body exudes a sensual aura that can captivate the hearts of men. Her figure is quite tall, around 6'3". She has perfect hourglass curves, and beautiful long legs. The sexy green dress covers her smooth white skin, which makes her DD-Cup breasts stand out from underneath.
"Hehe." Jia Yuyan giggled as she spoke to her. "Aunt Lu Yi! I know you are just teasing me, and you never feel jealous of others, or else you are already the leader of all nature races now, especially since you are stronger than Zhu Ling and the others; even Aunt Nu Wang must admit her inferiority to you."
"Haha!" Jia Yubai laughed as he rubbed his granddaughter's head, but Nu Wang acted like a child by pouting her lips at Jia Yuyan's words.
Lu Yi smiled at the little girl. "You're right, Little Yuyan. I've lived too long that I no longer remember how old I am, and I've seen so many changes that have occurred in our universe, so I no longer feel jealous of other people, and I enjoy my current life more. What do you think will happen next? Will Jing Shen succeed in doing that?"
"No." Jia Yuyan responded by shaking her head. "Jing Shen has already made a fatal decision, and his decision will make the spirit realm suffer huge losses. However, it can still be stopped, and the key lies with Big Sis Lyra."
"Lyra?" Nu Wang was surprised by that. "Are you sure Lyra can stop that?"
"Yes." Jia Yuyan nodded to her. "You have to contact Big Sis Lyra, Aunt Nu Wang."
"All right." Nu Wang then took out a green feather and whispered something through it. "I've done it, and I hope you're right that Lyra can stop that, especially since it wouldn't only be detrimental to the spirit realm, but it would also be detrimental to all other nature races, including my elf race."
Suddenly, they felt someone flying over quickly, but Jia Yuyan immediately got off her grandfather's lap and waited for the person at the entrance. Before long, she looked excited after the person came, and she stretched out her hand while saying. "Grandpa Xian Di! Carry me on your shoulders!"
"Hahaha!" Xian Di laughed at that, but he immediately lifted Jia Yuyan onto his shoulders. "Anyway, I've already conveyed what you told me before to my disciple, so he should have everything well prepared by now."
