Mu Changqing held Yin Yin's small hand and took a step, his figure gradually disappearing.
Vaguely, Mu Changqing's voice echoed from the starry sky.
"Dao Ancestor, you need only wait with peace of mind."
The Dao Ancestor watched Mu Changqing depart with a calm expression, and after a long while, let out a soft sigh.
"Burial Emperor, I hope my choice is not wrong, but I truly have no other choice. Only you, this variable, can help me return to my peak."
As his words fell, the Dao Ancestor's figure vanished, returning to the coffin.
In this place, a little胖子 was completely enveloped by a fluid mass of primordial embryo, with the grand formation of the myriad stars aiding him in rapidly absorbing the primordial embryo fluid.
"My disciple, do not blame your master for being heartless. You were created by me, and your born purpose is to help me return to my peak."
The Dao Ancestor's cold voice echoed, his gaze devoid of any guilt.
As a primordial being, once one of the strongest known entities, how could he feel guilt for this?
Primordial beings are born cold-blooded and emotionless.
The Dao Ancestor's alliance with Mu Changqing was merely out of necessity.
He could bend and stretch, thus the Dao Ancestor's future would by no means stop at the mere initial stage of the primordial being level.
Following this, the Dao Ancestor once again drew upon the power of the infinite stars, integrating it into the little胖子's body, accelerating the refinement of the primordial embryo fluid.
...
The Heavenly Realm, considered the chief of all realms.
A place of prosperity and grandeur, where Imperial Clans resided, families that had produced Immortal Emperors in the past, possessing profound heritage.
Furthermore, the most powerful entity in the Heavenly Realm was naturally the Heavenly Court, which ruled over the myriad realms. Even the Sacred City of the Demonic Realm seemed inferior in comparison.
Heavenly Realm, Heavenly Court.
A figure in black robes, holding a little girl's hand, appeared out of thin air, unnoticed by anyone.
Mu Changqing slowly looked up, a complex sigh escaping him.
"A glorious era, brilliant for eternity, extreme prosperity leads to decline, a natural cycle."
Looking ahead, a colossal immortal city stood before them.
Its form and law were like a star, emitting a golden, sacred, and brilliant radiance.
Various spiritual birds flew about, and immortal energy swirled, resembling a divine realm.
Heavenly soldiers stood guard, and Heavenly generals led them, exuding an imposing aura.
Those entering and exiting the immortal city were almost all immortals and above.
Within Mu Changqing's perception, there were many newly ascended immortals here, their lifespans brief, merely a thousand years.
Reaching the immortal realm within a millennium was the mark of a celestial prodigy.
Yet now, in the immortal city of the Heavenly Realm, it seemed commonplace.
High in the sky, an Imperial Palace floated amidst vast immortal mist, like a colossal deity, suppressing the entire Heavenly Realm.
Or rather, it was the most powerful place in the myriad realms, vast and all-encompassing.
From afar, the Heavenly Court seemed to be forged from gold, a sea of golden light, with seven-colored immortal light swirling upwards, brilliant and crystalline, sacred and solemn, not to be profaned.
"Big brother, what is that? Can it be eaten?"
Yin Yin tilted her small head, looking with excitement at the radiant Heavenly Court, a trace of drool appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Mu Changqing patted Yin Yin's small head with a hint of helplessness and said softly.
"Yin Yin, be good. That's poop, it's very dirty, we don't eat it."
Yin Yin: ???
At this moment, a series of angry shouts and pursuit sounds echoed from the sky.
Mu Changqing frowned, looking up at the sky in surprise.
He saw the Calamity Immortal King, with elegant bearing, leisurely and calmly fleeing ahead with a helpless expression.
Behind him, the Star Radiance Immortal King, in disarray, with disheveled black hair and bloodshot eyes, pursued him with terrifying killing moves.
"Damn Calamity Immortal King, if you do not perish, I, Star Radiance Immortal King, will henceforth cease my cultivation and make pursuing you my lifelong wish."
Upon hearing this, the Calamity Immortal King curled his lips and replied innocently.
"Star Radiance Immortal King, you are the one who is unlucky. I have never attacked you, how can you be so unreasonable? Humph, I curse you to be struck by heavenly lightning."
*BOOM!*
Ten thousand feet of thunder rumbled down, striking Star Radiance Immortal King squarely.
Star Radiance Immortal King's body faltered, almost falling from the height of a million zhang.
Much of the immortal energy around him was scattered by the strike. Although it did not cause physical damage, the insult was profound.
"Calamity Immortal King, I curse your ancestor, die for me, AAAAAAA!"
Star Radiance Immortal King roared in fury, directly summoning his natal immortal artifact, a piece of mysterious, lustrous blue-gold.
He expended his Immortal King's origin, used forbidden techniques, and attacked the Calamity Immortal King with murderous intent.
Seeing this, the Calamity Immortal King's face paled with alarm, and he hastily dodged.
In an instant, many immortal cultivators outside the immortal city, who were spectating, were caught in the crossfire, turning into innocent souls.
And the Calamity Immortal King was completely unharmed.
"Star Radiance Immortal King, Calamity Immortal King, get lost! Don't cause trouble near the immortal city."
A terrifying supreme being could no longer tolerate the two of them causing chaos and roared sternly.
These days, wherever the Calamity Immortal King fled, Star Radiance Immortal King pursued, and disaster followed.
The two were now blacklisted by all heavens, intensely disliked.
Of course, Star Radiance Immortal King was the most innocent, falling victim to circumstance and being framed.
"Damn it, ahhhhh, Calamity Immortal King, I'm not finished with you."
"Hmph, the last one who said they weren't finished with me has grass growing over their grave taller than you."
Then, two streaks of light streaked across the sky and departed.
Mu Changqing watched them leave in astonishment, a little dazed.
He then chuckled and murmured.
"This Calamity Immortal King is truly amusing. When I have time, I must study him."
He had never encountered such a peculiar being.
Lucky himself, unfortunate others.
Mu Changqing shook his head with a hint of laziness, then looked at Yin Yin beside him and asked.
"Yin Yin, can you sense the aura of reincarnation?"
Yin Yin placed her chubby little hand by her mouth, her large, limpid eyes looking at Mu Changqing, remaining silent.
Her eyes held unconcealed cleverness, incredibly cute.
"Big brother, what is reincarnation aura? Yin Yin doesn't know."
As she spoke, she touched her little belly and mumbled.
"My tummy is hungry, my head doesn't listen anymore."
Hearing this, Mu Changqing couldn't help but chuckle again.
The reason he asked Yin Yin was because he was sure that Yin Yin could break through the supreme techniques of primordial beings, fear no karma, and find the true form of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
However, this little one was clearly throwing a tantrum because Mu Changqing was not satisfying her gluttonous desires.
"Fine, today I'll let you eat your fill. Tell me, what do you want to eat? The myriad realms, choose as you please."
He was naturally willing to trade food for Yin Yin's help.
Furthermore, coupled with his inexplicable sense of affection for Yin Yin, it made it difficult for him to refuse.
Through countless eons, Mu Changqing's heart had long since turned into an icy abyss.
If any of the billions upon billions of sentient beings in all heavens, or the primordial beings, were to know of his patient care for a little girl, they would likely be astonished.
Upon hearing this, Yin Yin lifted her little head, her eyes sparkling with crystalline light, and nodded vigorously.
She then looked around, as if searching for things she knew could be eaten.
A moment later, Yin Yin pointed at the spiritual birds gracefully flying in the sky above the immortal city, swallowing her saliva.
"Big brother, they look so beautiful, they must taste delicious."
Mu Changqing was stunned, then nodded helplessly.
"Perhaps."
Such spiritual birds, nourished by the swirling immortal energy and enveloped by seven-colored destiny, would surely have delicious meat.
However, as spiritual birds of the Heavenly Realm's immortal city, even the Demonic Emperors of all realms would not dare to come to the Heavenly Realm to capture spiritual birds as food.
