A moment later, Mu Changqing wiped Yin Yin's lips and took her small hand.
The two, one big and one small, left.
"Big brother, are we leaving?"
Looking back at the small courtyard not far away, Yin Yin's innocent face showed reluctance.
Time held no meaning for her, but she knew that these days were the happiest of her life.
Mu Changqing nodded slightly and said softly.
"The Chaos Forbidden Zone has opened, and many interesting beings have arrived. It's time to leave."
After a pause, Mu Changqing looked at the reluctant Yin Yin and said.
"Don't worry, you will never go hungry again, nor will you return to that dark and sunless place."
Hearing this, Yin Yin seemed to understand. She nodded her small head vigorously, a smile appearing on her face. She tightly held Mu Changqing's big hand.
A brilliant golden light streaked across the sky. Under its illumination, the two lonely figures merged into one.
...
Walking through the Chaos Forbidden Zone.
Suddenly, Mu Changqing stopped, his purple eyes closed slightly.
Sensing the entire Chaos Forbidden Zone, Mu Changqing opened his eyes again, a smile playing on his lips.
"Interesting, I found you."
"Big brother, what did you find?"
Yin Yin asked in her childish voice.
Mu Changqing stroked her small head and replied.
"An interesting old fellow, and an interesting little fatty. You want to hide? Can you escape?"
As he spoke, the two figures, one big and one small, vanished from where they stood.
At the same time, at a celestial pond in the Chaos Forbidden Zone, an old Daoist priest and the little fatty beside him were frantically harvesting chaotic spiritual herbs.
Suddenly, the old Daoist priest's ecstatic face froze.
Moments later, his face turned to terror.
"Damn it, he's back. How could he be here? If he discovers my backup plans, who knows if that fellow will dissect and study me."
"Moreover, judging by that guy's personality, he'll definitely question me... No, I can't afford to offend anyone. I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
The old Daoist priest muttered to himself. Looking at the little fatty in front of him, who was greedily harvesting herbs, he became furious.
Bang!
The old Daoist priest slapped him.
"Hurry up and go, or we won't be able to leave."
The little fatty got up with a look of grievance, rubbing his big head, and said aggrievedly.
"Who is it, Master?"
He knew that his master was omnipotent, yet there was someone he feared, which made him curious.
"Don't ask. At least for now, you can't let him discover your existence."
As he spoke, Daoist energy flowed around the old Daoist priest, and the two of them strangely disappeared from their original positions, erasing all traces of their presence.
Not long after, Mu Changqing, holding Yin Yin's small hand, appeared at the celestial pond. After sensing with his divine intent, he murmured.
"Hiding from me? In all the myriad realms, in the darkness of chaos, where can you hide?"
A strand of purple light flashed in Mu Changqing's eyes, and a terrifying aura emanated from him, sweeping across the entire Chaos Forbidden Zone.
After a moment, Mu Changqing frowned.
"You have some skill. As expected of a Dao Ancestor."
"Big brother, are you looking for someone?"
Suddenly, Yin Yin asked, her large eyes fixed on Mu Changqing.
"Yes, can Yin Yin find his location?"
Mu Changqing knew that Yin Yin's existence was extremely terrifying.
Perhaps she could break through the old Daoist priest's supreme methods and find his whereabouts.
Yin Yin's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her large eyes darted around.
Then, she extended her small hand and pointed in a certain direction, saying.
"There are two people hiding over there!"
Hearing this, Mu Changqing was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to actually work.
Then, with a slight movement of his palm, a purple long sword materialized.
The purple sword automatically floated in the air, pointing in the direction Yin Yin indicated.
"Old man, if you don't come out now, don't blame me for being impolite."
From the purple sword, purple light erupted, exuding supreme and terrifying power that made all living beings within a million miles tremble in fear, unaware of the reason.
The chaotic space twisted, and cracks appeared.
With this blow, the old Daoist priest's true form would be annihilated.
The next moment, the space in front twisted, and the old Daoist priest appeared with a fawning smile, followed by a little fatty.
At this moment, the old Daoist priest had cold sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly said.
"Burial Emperor, don't joke like this, you'll scare the child."
The little fatty behind the old Daoist priest looked at Mu Changqing with shock, hiding behind the old Daoist priest with fear and apprehension.
From his master's words, he knew how terrifying the person in front of him was.
The one who retreated unharmed after clashing with four innate beings a hundred years ago.
A being that made all heavens fear and innate beings wary.
Mu Changqing's expression returned to calm, and he put away the purple sword, saying lightly.
"This is your backup, your spokesperson? Why, are you deliberately hiding from me because you fear I might make a move on this little fatty, or are you afraid I'll ask about the identity of the innate being who ambushed me back then?"
Mu Changqing never beat around the bush, and asked directly.
Hearing this, the old Daoist priest's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly added.
"How could that be? I believe the Burial Emperor wouldn't pay attention to my little fellow."
Then, the old Daoist priest noticed Yin Yin beside Mu Changqing. After observing her for a moment, he showed surprise.
"This little girl?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Mu Changqing gently stroked Yin Yin's small head, signaling her not to be afraid.
Then, Mu Changqing got back to the point and asked directly.
"Tell me, who are those two scumbags? They attacked me, and they must pay the price."
Mu Changqing's expression grew colder. After so many years, he had never suffered such a great loss.
Even if the opponent was an innate being, they would have to pay a heavy price.
He wanted to let these arrogant innate beings know what a taboo was and that they should not be provoked.
The old Daoist priest's face showed a look of "as expected." He was avoiding Mu Changqing.
One reason was that he feared Mu Changqing would take an interest in the little fatty beside him.
The second was that he feared Mu Changqing would ask him about the identity of the innate beings who ambushed him a hundred years ago.
After all, he didn't want to offend anyone now; he just wanted to develop discreetly.
After a moment of internal struggle, the old Daoist priest tentatively said.
"Burial Emperor, if I tell you, those fellows will definitely..."
"En?"
Mu Changqing let out a cold snort, his gaze subtly falling on the little fatty behind him.
The threat was self-evident.
"No, no, no, I'll tell you."
The old Daoist priest sighed, feigning distress, and then transmitted his voice.
"The first innate being who attacked you was the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, the first demon born from the Primordial Chaos before the heavens and earth were formed, the Nine Nether Primal Spirit Ao."
He secretly glanced at Mu Changqing. Seeing that his expression was unmoved, the old Daoist priest continued.
"The second innate being who attacked you has some connection with you."
Mu Changqing was a little surprised. He tried to recall the era of the Emperor's Fall but could not remember any interaction he had with innate beings.
Even in that era, he had only accidentally learned the truth about innate beings and had not truly dealt with them.
"Tell me, don't beat around the bush."
The old Daoist priest curled his lips, inwardly thinking that Mu Changqing, a posthumous being, was even more uninteresting than himself, an innate being.
Then, he stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.
"Do you remember the Primordial Ancient Realm? Actually, the Primordial Ancient Realm had a Realm Spirit. It was originally a spiritual entity born from the Primordial Chaos, not a true innate being."
"Later, when the Heavenly Dao created the world, that spiritual entity received the Heavenly Dao's favor, transformed into a Realm Spirit, and developed self-awareness."
"Later, you shattered the entire Primordial Ancient Realm, and it was naturally implicated, losing its place to return. So it returned to the Primordial Chaos and joined forces with the Demon Ancestor."
Hearing this, Mu Changqing was indeed somewhat taken aback.
"So that guy hates you to the bone, wishing he could tear you apart. However, he's not a true innate being, only half of one, not even as good as me."
