Chapter 119 | My Nemesis Ascended, What Do I Do?!

In the Xuanling Realm, within the Yunxue Immortal Territory, the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Ripples appeared in the space above the immortal territory, followed by the opening of a spatial rift.

Zhang Mingyuan held Su Jinxue's hand as they stepped out of it, returning once again to this familiar land.

As soon as they landed, before they could even take a breath of the Xuanling Realm's air, a divine light suddenly descended from the nine heavens.

Along with a wave of spatial fluctuations, the familiar aura of the Xuanling Realm's Heavenly Dao instantly arrived.

“Worthy Brother, Sister-in-law, you are finally back!”

An excited shout echoed through the clouds.

Zhang Mingyuan looked up and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The usually high-and-mighty, incredibly prestigious avatar of the Heavenly Dao was currently completely charred black. His hair stood on end, and wisps of black smoke were still rising from his head. He looked exactly like he had just been dug out of a coal mine.

“Big Brother, where did you go to mine coal? How did you end up looking like this?”

Zhang Mingyuan sized up the Heavenly Dao from head to toe.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Dao's gaze flickered shiftily.

“Ahem... It's nothing.”

“It's just that ten years ago, while I was nurturing the Xuanling Realm's origin lightning laws, I accidentally choked on my breath and struck myself!”

Though he said this, the Heavenly Dao's heart was filled with deep regret.

If he had known, he wouldn't have run his mouth and suggested his worthy brother go back to the Blue Star!

Look at how he was struck! Oh, the pain! Most importantly, it was the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning he had nurtured himself!

It was simply too cruel!

However, this also confirmed his previous suspicion.

His worthy brother not only had an extraordinary background, but he himself was definitely anything but simple!

Otherwise, why would the powerhouse on the Blue Star refuse to let his worthy brother return at all costs?

Perhaps, just like how he himself had feared the "Dog Slaughterer" demonic sword in his worthy brother's hand back then...

That powerhouse was also afraid of some terrifying thing inside his worthy brother, which was why they wouldn't let him return to the Blue Star so early...

Hiss!

At this thought, the Heavenly Dao shuddered and quickly cut off his train of thought.

No, no, he couldn't think about it anymore!

If he accidentally figured out some shocking secret again and let it slip, he would be completely finished!

This time he was only struck by lightning. What about next time?

Who could guarantee that the powerhouse wouldn't just come over and obliterate him directly?

He was just a minor Heavenly Dao of a minor world!

Weak, pitiful, and without a backer! He could only rely on himself!

Sob...

“Ten years?” Zhang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment. “Holy crap! I completely forgot about that!”

Because of the different flow of time between the two worlds, even though they had only delayed for a short while in the outer space of the Blue Star, a long time must have passed in the Xuanling Realm!

“Big Brother, how long have we been gone?” Zhang Mingyuan asked hastily.

The Heavenly Dao pulled his thoughts back, raised his charred hand, and slapped himself hard across the face, crying out miserably:

“Worthy Brother, a hundred years have already passed!”

“It's all my fault!”

“I was drunk back then and wasn't clear-headed, so I forgot to tell you that I didn't send an avatar to the Blue Star.”

“I only descended upon the Blue Star with a wisp of consciousness, observing it from a different time dimension!”

“I admit my mistake, and I accept my punishment!”

As the Heavenly Dao wiped away his non-existent tears, he quickly tried to claim credit.

“But Worthy Brother, during the days you were gone, I took excellent care of your and Sister-in-law's Yunxue Immortal Territory!”

“Look, this domain is now the place with the most abundant spiritual energy and the easiest place to nurture natural treasures in the entire Xuanling Realm!”

“Cultivating in the Yunxue Immortal Territory for one day is equivalent to a hundred days of cultivation in the outside world!”

“In another ten thousand years, your entire Yunxue Immortal Territory will be filled with natural treasures for tens of thousands of miles around, and you won't even need to plant them yourselves.”

“As long as you regulate your disciples so they don't harvest them too early, you'll be set!”

Listening to the Heavenly Dao's words and looking at the surrounding spiritual energy that was indeed so dense it had almost materialized, Zhang Mingyuan felt deeply moved.

He stepped forward, grabbed the Heavenly Dao's shoulder, and said sincerely:

“Big Brother, what are you saying? How could I possibly blame you!”

“If it weren't for you, I still wouldn't know that the time flow of my hometown is different from this side. I would have thought my family was already gone!”

“Look at you, not only did you tell me such important news, but you also took such good care of my Yunxue Immortal Territory. I can't thank you enough!”

With that, Zhang Mingyuan's expression turned solemn, and he patted his chest with great gravity:

“Big Brother, you are simply too good to me! In the future, as long as I, Zhang Mingyuan, have a bowl of soup to drink, you will have a bowl to wash!”

“...”

“Ahem... Wait, that's not right!”

“As long as I have a bite to eat, you will have a sip of soup!”

The Heavenly Dao was instantly moved to tears, and he tightly grasped Zhang Mingyuan's hand in return. “Worthy Brother!”

Zhang Mingyuan's gaze was firm. “Big Brother!”

The Heavenly Dao shouted loudly, “Once brothers!”

Zhang Mingyuan roared toward the sky, “Brothers for life!”

Beside them, Su Jinxue watched these two clowns put on this suffocating show of deep brotherly affection once again. A trace of helplessness flashed across her face, and she silently raised her jade hand to cover her forehead.

At this moment, the people of the Yunxue Immortal Territory, who had sensed the aura of their Immortal Lord and Lady Wife, also rushed over.

Chu Jinghong, Bai Yao, Nian'an, and the other elders and personal disciples appeared all at once. Seeing that Zhang Mingyuan and Su Jinxue were safe and sound, everyone showed joyful expressions and stepped forward to greet them respectfully.

Zhang Mingyuan waved his hand, briefly comforted everyone, and asked about the current situation of the immortal territory.

After learning that all was well, he dismissed them.

Once everyone had withdrawn, Zhang Mingyuan turned around and grabbed Su Jinxue's hand.

They were currently carrying the heavy mission of “making a baby to return to the Blue Star.”

“Big Brother, Little Xuexue and I have important business tonight, so we won't keep you. We'll head back first.”

Zhang Mingyuan winked at the Heavenly Dao.

Hearing this, Su Jinxue's fair, jade-like cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao immediately wore a knowing, sly grin and nodded repeatedly.

“Wait, Worthy Brother.”

Just as the two were about to turn and leave, the Heavenly Dao suddenly called out to stop him.

Zhang Mingyuan paused and turned back in confusion.

The Heavenly Dao lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

“I have some good news for you. Lingxuzi is about to ascend to immortality soon. You know what to do.”

“Oh?”

Zhang Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and a meaningful, mischievous grin curled at the corner of his mouth.

“That is indeed good news! Big Brother, I will definitely not forget our plan!”

The two nodded at each other in tacit understanding, then waved goodbye.

A moment later, within the Yunxue Immortal Territory, at the Immortal Lord's Peak residence.

The bedroom door was shut with a bang. Zhang Mingyuan could no longer suppress the urgency in his heart. He scooped Su Jinxue up in his arms, strode to the bedside, and pressed her down onto the mattress.
