"Does that mean you've been following this kid's progress for a long time?"

"Yes." Huang Lingzhu had no intention of covering it up. "I have followed Luxuria since she got Long Hun's bloodline, and she gave it to this kid when he was about to die."

"How long did he cultivate to reach his current cultivation?"

"Almost a year." The two frowned after hearing that. "His progress is too slow because I put some seals on Long Hun's bloodline, or else this kid's mortal body wouldn't be able to contain his bloodline. However, his growth will increase after he obtains his dragon core, and he will gain half of his true power."

"Where is the other half?"

"One quarter is in Long Hun's soul, and the other quarter is in his heart, which is in my hands now." The two were not surprised to hear Huang Lingzhu's words. "As for the power in his soul, it is only his basic power."

"I see." Sheng Ming then said to her. "You killed Long Hun, not because he often peeked at you, right? After all, you two are the oldest in this universe, and your relationship is actually not bad, so I always thought that you had other reasons to kill him, which were related to the disaster."

Huang Lingzhu didn't say anything, but her silence was enough for Sheng Ming and Shiwang Zhizhu to ascertain the truth, and they didn't discuss the matter any more.

Fortunately, Huang Lingzhu had already slowed down the flow of time inside the cave, and Ling Yun completed the process after several days inside.

"It's finished; we can go back now." After saying that, Huang Lingzhu and Shiwang Zhizhu disappeared from the cave.

However, Sheng Ming did not immediately leave and looked at Ling Yun for some time, and she touched his chest before injecting her light qi and power into his body.

[Ding]

[Your Light Element reached Peak Rank.]

[You have broken through to the Peak King Realm.]

[You have broken through to the Lower Emperor Realm.]

[You have broken through to the Middle Emperor Realm.]

[You have broken through to the Upper Emperor Realm.]

[You have broken through to the Peak Emperor Realm.]

"I can only help you to this extent, or your body will explode, and I've also stabilized everything." Sheng Ming muttered as she withdrew her qi and power. "Consider this a small favor from me, and I will collect it in the future. Moreover, you will face the spirit race soon, so you must survive, or the universe will be destroyed."

Some time after Sheng Ming left, Ling Yun opened his eyes, but he let out a regretful sigh after he couldn't find Huang Lingzhu, as he still had many questions for her. However, he abruptly sat down in shock. "How could this happen? Could it be the time lord who helped me improve my cultivation? Moreover, my cultivation and oddities have stabilized now, so I don't need to stabilize them anymore."

Even so, Ling Yun felt elated with his current cultivation. "Thank you for your help, Time Lord! Although this is still not enough to deal with those spirit guardians, it is much better, and I can return to earth to retrieve the Chaos Dragon armor. That way, I can be more prepared to face them, and we will meet again in the future."

"Congratulations, Master." Tian Lanyi greeted him as soon as Ling Yun came out of the cave. "The results are much better than my estimation, and your cultivation has already reached the Peak Emperor Realm now. This way, the seventh and eighth beasts will come to you soon, and their abilities will be very useful in dealing with our enemies."

Ling Yun nodded to her. "I know that the seventh beast is Jiu Shen, the Nine-Headed Poison Serpent. But who is the eighth beast? And what kind of beast is she?"

"Haha." Tian Lanyi laughed before telling him. "Her name is Jin Zhongli, and she is a Jiao-Dragon, but she has two unique abilities related to metal and gravity."

"A jiao dragon, huh?" Ling Yun muttered softly, as there were no other dragons by his side yet. Although Ling Ling has the Yin Dragon bloodline, she is not a true dragon, so he is excited to meet Jin Zhongli. "Moreover, metal and gravity are rare elements, but she has both, so he must be powerful."

"Zhongli is indeed powerful, and her gravity abilities are almost unrivaled, so I believe she will be the perfect ally to face those spirit races."

"Yes." Ling Yun nodded in agreement with that. "How long was I in the cave?"

"An hour, Master."

"An hour, huh?" Ling Yun wasn't surprised by that, as he knew that Huang Lingzhu was slowing down the flow of time inside, and he turned to Zhiyu Yushen and the few women who had landed in front of them, but Long Xiang still looked angry at him.

"I didn't expect that your cultivation would break through five stages at once, especially since you only broke through to Upper King Realm two days ago." Zhiyu Yushen said as she observed Ling Yun's body. "Moreover, your physique has also changed, and you look taller than before."

"That's true; you seem to have grown about three to four inches taller, Mo Chen." Qiao Lingzhi also said to him.

Nangong Nichang also agreed with them. "Your body is also more muscular than before."

On the other hand, Tian Yueling didn't say anything, but she felt something strange in her heart after she saw the current Ling Yun.

"I got something interesting inside, and it has fused with my body now, which makes my physique change and stronger." Ling Yun then turned his head toward the distance and asked. "Are you two going to continue hiding there, Zhuang Yuan and Mu Yan? You guys can trick them with your concealing artifact, but it won't be able to trick me."

"Eh?" Tian Lanyi and the others were shocked to hear that, as they were still unaware of the presence of the other two women, and they turned their heads in the direction Ling Yun was looking at.

Soon, Mu Yan and Zhuang Yuan appeared before them, but their gazes were only on Ling Yun, especially after they found out that he had dark qi.

"You don't need to think that I'm a demon, because I'm not." Ling Yun said that after he noticed a glimmer of hatred in their eyes, he immediately showed his light qi. "Have you ever seen a demon possessing light qi?"

"How is this possible? How can you have two opposing elements in your body?" The two women asked at the same time, and their expressions were completely shocked after seeing that.

Not only them, but Zhiyu Yushen was also shocked to see that, as she had seen Ling Yun's light qi before, but it had become stronger than before.

"Even though one of you is my sister-in-law, I won't explain anything to the two of you, especially since I don't know you guys." Ling Yun then withdrew his light qi and turned to his women, and he opened the Yin-Yang Chamber before sending them in to rest.

Once more, Zhiyu Yushen and the others were astounded by that because the Yin-Yang Chamber ought to be associated with space, and they looked at Ling Yun like they were looking at a freak.

"Haha." Tian Lanyi laughed at their reactions. "You guys don't need to be shocked like that because my master is very special, and his abilities are beyond your imagination."

"Have you got the herbs?" Tian Yueling and the others nodded to him, and Ling Yun then walked away. "Let's go back; we've spent too much time in this place, and there's one important thing I have to do before we return to the sect."

After that, Tian Lanyi led them to leave the Ancient Garden, but Zhuang Yuan and Mu Yan did not immediately follow them, as they could go in and out of the place by themselves.

"Hey, Yanyan! Given the formidable strength of those two beast women, it appears that safeguarding that child is unnecessary."

"Yes, they are indeed strong." Mu Yan nodded in agreement with Zhuang Yuan. "However, his enemies must be numerous and strong, so I will still protect him, as I promised Shu'er."

"Sigh, you're right." Zhuang Yuan replied with a heavy sigh. "Their enemies are those spirit races, and those guys are really strong, especially their emperor. Although those two beast women are strong, I'm not sure if they are enough to protect him, so we have to follow them now."

Sometime later, they all came out of the mist, and Zhiyu Yushen said to him. "Since everything is finished and I have gotten all the herbs I need, I will return to my clan right now. As for your mother, I have given her the returning jade, and you can ask her to return after she wakes up."

"All right." Zhiyu Yushen instantly disappeared from their sight, and Ling Yun then spoke to Tian Yueling and the two young girls. "You guys can go back to the sect first, and I will catch up with you."

"Where are you going? Why don't you come back with us?" Tian Yueling asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ling Yun sighed softly before answering her. "As you can already sense, my cultivation is increasing too quickly, so I want to go to the forest to familiarize myself with my new strength first."
