You should know that in the Third Realm of Reverse Soul, located in the East Plain Northern Land, you can essentially do as you please.
"Right, we are simply those who couldn’t adapt to the Central Plains and were eliminated,"
Hua Lidian’s voice was somewhat hoarse, as if it stirred up his unwilling past: "Though we reached the Central Plains in our youth, various reasons made us retreat."
Sikong Jing’s eyes still inadvertently flashed with yearning, the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts within him giving him a strong impulse to fight.
He really wanted to see what the Central Plains were like, he really wanted to challenge himself.
Suddenly, the sound of his sister’s voice came from the direction of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace: "Brother..."
Looking back, he saw Shen Qingye and members of the Wangyou Sect had already come after him.
Sikong Jing smiled and waved to Sikong Ling, then turned his head back to Hua Lidian and asked, "The five-year period, is it almost up?"
"Four months left..." Hua Lidian nodded in response.
"I understand, I will think it over during this time, now I’ll take my leave." After speaking, Sikong Jing flashed back onto the Iron Bone Flying Vulture and joined up with Sikong Ling and the others, then returned to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.
Watching the retreating figures of Sikong Jing and the others, Hua Lidian murmured to himself.
"I used to be just as unyielding, but unfortunately reality has hit me so hard that even after just killing Ren Dongmeng I had to look before I leapt, my martial arts completely locked within the Reverse Soul Realm without any further progress."
Pausing, Hua Lidian added, "Perhaps, Sikong Jing can carve out his own world after all, he’s quite different."
Recalling his first encounter with Sikong Jing until now, especially the scene where he killed Ren Dongmeng without hesitation, a strong glint appeared in Hua Lidian’s eyes.
This was the strongest talent he had ever seen, and there was an air of mystery about him from head to toe.
Sikong Jing was destined for greatness!
Without further thought, Hua Lidian vanished in a flash, he had to return to the Zhanwu City Overlord Commerce to deal with Ren Dongmeng’s affairs.
On this side, Sikong Jing also recounted the assurances from Hua Lidian on the way back to Golden Dragon Mountain, relieving the members of the Wangyou Sect.
At least they wouldn’t have to worry about being retaliated against by the Overlord Commerce.
The people from the Wangyou Sect decided to stay at the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace for the time being to recuperate; a day of fighting and scares had exhausted them quite a bit.
With the deterrence of the Iron Bone Flying Vulture, they no longer harbored any ill will towards Sikong Jing.
As for the people from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, they wanted to stay and chat with Sikong Jing about today’s events and his experiences in the War Soul Dynasty, but Sikong Jing laughed and said, "We can talk about the rest when there’s time, I’m going home now."
With that, he took Su Yuexi and Sikong Ling and ran off in a whiff of smoke.
Watching Sikong Jing’s retreating figure, Shen Qingye, Qin Heng, and others were both happy and proud. He was a student of their Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, and now they could finally retract the order to deliberately expel him from the sect.
They could announce to the outside world that Sikong Jing was returning to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.
And he had already made a name for himself, he even helped the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace become an existence on the level of the Seven Sects and Five Sects.
Home is not a fixed place; where there are family members, there is home.
Su Zhenglong, Mei Xiaofang, and elder sister-in-law Su Yue Immortal had all been staying at the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, settling comfortably. Their residence was on the relatively quiet Drunk Dragon Mountain, with a private courtyard.
When Sikong Ling arrived, she actually felt a bit nervous as if she were meeting her parents.
But the warmth of Su Zhenglong and the others quickly made her relax, and the family went on to eat the feast prepared by Mei Xiaofang, chatting and laughing together in harmonious joy, with laughter ringing out from time to time.
Gradually... it grew dark.
Sikong Ling soon fell asleep, and Sikong Jing sat quietly in front of her bed, smiling as he watched his little sister.
At that moment, his upper body was still bare, revealing a fierce and stern visage.
Su Yuexi was gently applying medicine to him, and as she did so, she said, "Brother Jing, after leaving the Canglong Small Domain, Ling’er probably never slept so sweetly."
Nodding, Sikong Jing gazed at his sister’s childish face, and a wave of tenderness washed over his heart.
Only in sleep did Ling’er look like a child.
The Wangyou Sect and the Supreme Forget Love Technique had brought her too many changes, but what remained unchanged was that she was still his most beloved sister.
"So much has happened today, it’s a relief that we’re all safe and sound."
"The Three Great Academies certainly won’t let things go easily, and we probably won’t have much time to rest."
"But don’t worry, Brother Jing, I’m getting stronger and will definitely be able to help you."
Listening to Su Yuexi’s words, Sikong Jing turned to look at his wife’s still slightly pale face and abruptly grasped her hand, helping her to sit down, then gazed at her intently.
Suddenly panicked, Su Yuexi’s pale face began to redden, "Brother Jing, don’t wake Ling’er."
Sikong Jing smiled gently and then hugged his wife tightly, "I missed you."
Her body stiffened slightly, and then Su Yuexi also slowly hugged Sikong Jing tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, gradually she turned and snuggled into her husband’s embrace like a little kitten, her face filled with happiness.
That night, both of them bearing wounds, did nothing and simply stayed by Sikong Ling’s side.
They talked about their recent experiences.
Sikong Jing also found out that after Su Yuexi reached the Xuantian Fifth Realm, she opened the Martial Arts Inheritance within the Jade hairpin; inside were Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, all of which matched her War Body.
Besides the Martial Arts Inheritance, she also unlocked the second layer of the Storage Space, which contained treasures.
Like the jade green sword Su Yuexi previously obtained, it came from the second layer of the Storage Space within the Jade hairpin.
"Yuexi, is there any secret about Father’s background inside the Jade hairpin?" Sikong Jing suddenly asked.
Shaking her head, Su Yuexi’s answer still lacked any information about her lineage; there was nothing about her grandmother either.
Just treasures and the Martial Arts Inheritance.
To this, Sikong Jing wasn’t too concerned because Grandma Yue Xi just wanted Su Zhenglong to live his life safely and peacefully, so they weren’t perturbed about matters regarding their background.
Sikong Jing asked his wife for the jade green sword to take a look, and then his eyes widened, "Middle-level Universe Grade..."
Afterward, he inspected the treasures in the Jade hairpin’s Storage Space.
There were dozens of items, and the jade green sword was actually the weakest among them, with half surpassing the Universe Grade.
Even with her War Body, Su Yuexi was unable to wield them now.
Swallowing hard, Sikong Jing said emphatically, "Yuexi, no matter what happens in the future, you mustn’t tell anyone about the Jade hairpin, or we might attract covetous looks."
In response to this, Su Yuexi nodded gravely, clearly understanding the principle of the peril in possessing a treasure.
Subsequently, Su Yuexi let Sikong Jing pick some treasures he liked.
All at once, Sikong Jing felt like he’d married into wealth, finding it quite comfortable, yet a bit embarrassing.
Seeing her husband’s sheepish demeanor, Su Yuexi chuckled, amused that he could still be shy.
In the end, Sikong Jing gritted his teeth and selected a few handy weapons, a few of Universe Grade, and two that surpassed the Universe Grade.
Over the next two days, the excitement of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace gradually settled down, and so did the Long Night Imperial City. After Ji Shengmang restored order to the Imperial Palace, he announced to the world that he had not passed away.
The first decree that followed was the bestowal of honors, with Sikong Jing being the first to be conferred the title of Invincible God General, a side-by-side prince!
