Huan Xiong frowned after she heard his answer, but Long Jue spoke to him again. "Hey, we both want to see other worlds and experience thrilling adventures, so I thought we could go together."
Huan Xiong didn't deny it, but she was different from Long Jue, especially since her family lived in the Burial Realm, and she couldn't possibly leave them to fulfill her dreams.
"Hey, little girl, family is indeed important, but you can't sacrifice your dreams for them. If they love you so much, they should be willing to let you go, so you can develop even better as a cultivator."
Huan Xiong immediately turned to face Ling Xi, but she found it amusing, especially since she was still in her loli form and she was referring to her as a little girl. However, she sensed that Ling Xi's cultivation was significantly superior to hers, prompting her to respectfully inquire. "Who exactly are you two, seniors? Which realm do you all come from?"
"I am Ling Xi, and she is my little sister, Zhou Yu."
"My name is Huan Xiong, and my beast is Qian Lan."
Ling Xi naturally knew about it. "We come from one of the planets in the upper realms, but the distance is quite far, and we want to go to that mysterious tower. However, our husband wants us to train in this realm for a while, so we will stay here until they finish their training in the next few days."
"Mysterious tower?" Ling Xi's answer not only surprised Huan Xiong, but Nan Xing and the two female beasts were also surprised.
"Yes." Ling Xi nodded to her. "That's why we didn't want to meet you guys, but Long Jue managed to detect us with Er Xiyi's sensor capabilities, and these two stupid demi-humans also acted recklessly, thereby attracting your attention."
Ren Shou and Jiu Tianxin smiled bitterly after hearing that, but they didn't dare refute Ling Xi's words, especially since it was indeed their fault to attract the attention of the residents of Burial Realm.
Huan Xiong then observed all of the women in the vicinity before asking Ling Xi again. "Do you really want to train in that tower, Senior? I heard that the beasts there are powerful and ferocious, and the cultivation of most of them is still in the mortal realms, so it will be difficult for them to train there."
"Your cultivation is indeed high, but your mindset is too weak." While shaking her head, Ling Xi commented on Huan Xiong's words. "We are cultivators, and we cultivate to defy the heavens. However, our path is not easy and winding, and we have to face many obstacles to be able to do so. If you give up before facing those obstacles, then your cultivation will be in vain, and you will never be able to reach the highest point in the cultivation world."
Upon hearing that, Huan Xiong fell silent and thought seriously about Ling Xi's words, and she fully realized that her words were indeed true. However, not all cultivators are able to face those obstacles, and many of them give up halfway, which makes them unable to progress further. She also wanted to develop and go further in the world of cultivation, but she didn't have the courage to do so, especially since she had never left her realm since she was born.
Understanding her hesitation, Ling Xi spoke to Huan Xiong again. "Let me tell you something, little girl. Some of them are weak compared to you and the people from this realm, but they come from the lower realm, where the Qi is too thin, so their cultivation is still in the mortal realm now."
"Huh?" They looked at Ling Xi in shock, as did Long Jue. "Did you guys really come from the lower realm?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Ling Xi returned the question, shaking his head. "Their cultivation was weak, but they had a strong desire to become strong cultivators, so they decided to leave their comfort zone and go to these upper realms. Given the dark past of your race, it is imperative that you adopt a more positive mindset and strive for improvement, just as your two ancestors did. If they both had the mindset like you now, then your race would never be free from human colonialism, and you would still be living under their slavery by now."
Huan Xiong and the others' expressions turned ugly after Ling Xi brought up their race's past, but they also realized the truth of her words, and they would still be slaves if their two ancestors had not worked hard to fight against the humans.
"But how can they get to the upper realms with their cultivation still in the mortal realms, Senior?" Don't they have to break through to the venerate realm first to be able to ascend to the higher realms?" Qian Lan, the owl beast, finally inquired. "Moreover, cultivators from the lower realm will usually ascend to the middle realm first, and they have to break through to the lower heavenly realm before they can ascend to the upper realms."
Ling Xi then pointed at Zhou Yu. "We are both members of the spirit race, and my little sister is the spirit of void, so it is very easy for us to bring them to these upper realms."
"Spirit Race?" Unlike Huan Xiong and Qian Lan, who had heard their identity from Long Jue, Nan Xing and Fei Yu were shocked when they heard it, and they once again became frightened towards them.
With a trembling voice, Fei Yu asked Ling Xi and Zhou Yu. "Are... are you two really members of the spirit race, seniors?"
"Do you think anyone else can lock up your master like me?" Zhou Yu asked with a playful smile, and Fei Yu vigorously shook her head. "I confined him using my void abilities, so he will never be able to free himself, and your leaders will also never be able to save him from me. Fortunately, I'm not evil, or I would have thrown him into the void by now, and he will live in endless darkness for the rest of his life."
Nan Xing gulped hard after hearing that, and she turned to Long Jue, who was smiling triumphantly. 'This bastard! He wants me to die in their hands! He should have told me that there were two members of the spirit race in this place!'
"Can you free Nan Xing, Senior?"
However, Zhou Yu rejected Huan Xiong's request outright. "I will release him once they have finished their training, so you still have time to think about the opportunity before you, especially since it will not come twice."
"I- Hmm?"
Suddenly, they felt quite a large tremor in that area, and the source came from within the invisible barrier. Before Zhou Yu could create a void door to go in, they saw many cracks appearing in the air.
"What happened? Where did those cracks come from?"
"Not many people know it, but that place is the private place of our ancestor, the abyss dark tiger, and their husband is in there now." Hearing that, Huan Xiong turned to Long Jue, who was holding his breath with an expression of shock. "An invisible barrier surrounds that place; our leaders and elders once attempted to destroy it, but their efforts proved futile, leading them to finally give up." Unfortunately, it will be destroyed soon, and the person who destroyed it was their husband."
Once again, Huan Xiong looked in that direction with admiration and curiosity, but Nan Xing felt even more intense fear in his heart. 'Crap! Will their husband kill me after he leaves that place?'
The invisible barrier began to crack gradually, and some time later, it exploded into pieces, accompanied by a dragon's roar.
*Roar*
"A true dragon!" Instantly, Long Jue, Huan Xiong, Qian Lan, and Er Xiyi felt a strong pressure pressing down on them from above, forcing them to kneel on the ground. Nan Xing, trapped within Zhou Yu's void walls, also sensed the pressure. Fei Yu was lucky because she was on Ling Xi's lap and protected by her, so she didn't suffer the same fate as them.
"At first, I thought that it would take him a few days to finish it, so I didn't expect that he managed to absorb everything in such a short time." Ling Xi spoke as she shook her head.
"Hehe." That made Zhou Yu chuckle. "Big Sis, the remnant power inside there isn't that big, and those three women also absorbed it, so it's natural that it runs out quickly. However, I didn't expect that he could destroy the barrier from within, but I'm afraid that the higher-ups of these demi-humans will notice it, and they will definitely flock to this region."
Ling Xi nodded in agreement with that, but she wasn't too worried about it, especially since she could feel that Ling Yun's aura had become stronger again, especially his devil aura.
*Swoosh*
In a split second, Ling Yun had appeared in front of them, and his blood-red eyes observed the demi-humans, but he immediately raised his eyebrows when he saw Fei Yu on Ling Xi's lap, causing her to shiver in fear. "A fern dragon, a racoon, a merfolk, a flying lizard, an owl, and a flying fish, huh?"
