Heavenly Emperor
The Zi Clan
The Fourth Layer of the Sage Realm
“Mother..” Zi Ling muttered trembling. Although she had not seen her mother for a long time, she still remembered her face even though the last time she saw her mother was when she was four years old. That memory will never be forgotten by him because he loved his mother very gently to him.
To Ren Yuu and Ruby, both of them were shocked because Zi Ling called the woman cold and very scary in terms of aura as a mother.
Ren Yuu and Ruby certainly paid close attention. Zi Ling and the woman if looked carefully, were indeed quite similar, especially the light blue eyes of the two.
“Ling’er, long time no see.” The woman who initially looked ice-cold, seemed to soften instantly as she said those words.
Zi Ling instantly broke away from Ren Yuu and flew at her full speed towards her mother. He immediately hugged her and cried loudly because from a long time ago the reason she was cultivating was to look for her mother's whereabouts.
“You must have suffered all this time.” said the woman gently. He also hugged Zi Ling tightly, but while trying to flow his qi into Zi Ling's body, he froze instantly and his gaze grew cold once again and looked towards Ren Yuu.
Ren Yuu felt shortness instantly, his legs like he was not obeying his orders. This was absolute intimidation, from that he knew that the distance between his strength and Zi Ling's mother was the same as the distance between him and the Tier God Emperor cultivators. The gap is very broad, it will not be able to be faced at any cost.
Zi Ling who felt a chill in her mother's body, immediately let go of her embrace and knew that her mother seemed to want to attack Ren Yuu.
“Mother... Don'tdon't... Her.. Ren Yuu.. he.. is my husband!” Zi Ling immediately opened her voice and hesitated to say it at first but since she loved Ren Yuu very much as well, she naturally would not hide. He was afraid that if he did not say that, Ren Yuu would misunderstand and his mother would also attack Ren Yuu.
Although Zi Ling did not know that her mother was very strong in the past, she was now very aware of how terrifying her mother's strength was.
Hearing that, the woman put on a slightly ugly face.
“Ling’er. you..” Zi Ling's mother didn't know what to say because she knew that her daughter loved Ren Yuu very much.
“Ling’er, you should know that when your Yin Vital is taken, your cultivation will continue to fall from time to time before you process certain manuals.” said Zi Ling's mother named Zi Yu.
“What?” Ren Yuu was the most surprised. He did not expect that there was such a thing that would happen.
“Means mother?” Zi Ling asked in surprise a little but she immediately continued, “I don't care about it. I'm the one who wanted this.”
Zi Ling's reply further stunned Zi Yu. However, when he examined Zi Ling once again carefully, there was no aura leakage or any sign of weakening.
“In addition to that, I feel that my strength continues to grow due to processing the manual given by Ren Yuu even though it is only a fragment of incomplete manual.” Zi Ling.
Zi Yu fell silent because he knew exactly what her daughter meant. He took out an object and showed it to Zi Ling, “Is there anything like this?”
Zi Ling's eyes widened when she saw the same strange shards that Ren Yuu had given her. It also took out the same thing, but it was visible was a fragment of the other side, and it could be put together.
Looking at the object held by Zi Ling, Zi Yu was a little relieved, he knew that Zi Ling was not too late to learn the World-Defying Heaven Manual even though it was only the first fragment.
“Ling’er, let's go from Nature Sage. I'll take you somewhere safe. Originally mother did not expect that you would reach the Divine God Early Tier. It is a fortune that you made a breakthrough in the Sage Realm, otherwise, the consequences will be much more difficult.” Zi Yu said in a gentle tone.
“Go? But... But..” Zi Ling wanted to refuse, of course as a woman who was already a wife, she wanted to be with her husband, Ren Yuu.
“If you go to the Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm, you will be in great danger. I saw that the First Layer to the fourth Sage Realm had been given, it was a sign of you guys doing this. But for the Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm, it was something different. There is a strong figure there that is stronger than the Demon King, and even stronger than mother.” Zi Yu said and persuaded Zi Ling patiently.
“Is it because of him? I have to admit that she has qualifications with you. But not for now because he can't protect you with his strength.” Zi Yu persuaded Zi Ling once again.
It also showed that Zi Yu did not mind Zi Ling along with Ren Yuu although she still wanted to beat up Ren Yuu for sleeping with her daughter. He knew clearly that the aura of Zi Ling was residing within Ren Yuu's body and it was mixed into one, one, it was Yin Vital Zi Ling who would be able to bring anyone to the top of the cultivation path.
“Mother, can mother help Ren Yuu drop the Sage Realm?” Zi Ling asked expectantly.
Hearing that, Zi Yu's face darkened slightly then he sighed.
Maidservant!
With a speed that could not be seen, Zi Yu directly hit the back neck of Zi Ling which made her faint. She was afraid that the longer her daughter pleaded, she could not resist. He did not want to fight with the demons, what more someone with incredible strength in the Seventh Layer of the Sage Realm.
“Zi Ling.” Ren Yuu muttered little because he knew that Zi Ling was eager to help him. He felt a little uneasy as his goal of coming to the Sage Realm was to find Sheng Mei.
Zi Yu who was hugging the fainted Zi Ling, looked towards Ren Yuu with an indifferent gaze. There was a hint of hatred in his eyes because his beloved daughter was snatched from him.
Originally, Zi Yu had decided to pick up Zi Ling at a certain time. He knew that Zi Ling's body in the seal and his estimation, the time at which Zi Ling reached the Divine God Early Tier would still be around for about 10 more years. But he wouldn't have thought it would be that fast.
And of course all that is due to the Eternal Spring.
“I..” Ren Yuu wanted to speak but he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach.
Bam!
Ren Yuu spewed out a mouthful of red blood and darted like a kite whose rope broke towards the gate.
Bam!
Ren Yuu who had fallen to the ground level, spewed out a mouthful of red blood once again. He was not even able to see it, and even when using the law of Fate, it still would not be able to.
“Ren Yuu!” Ruby immediately approached Ren Yuu and examined him closely. He felt relieved because it was just a physical wound, it would not have any serious consequences.
Wussh!
Zi Yu appeared in front of Ren Yuu then spoke, “You indeed have the courage to take my daughter! If you were not the Dark God, you would have long since died in my hands! You do have the qualifications to surpass me in the future, just like the Dark God in ancient times.”
“But this time I will not allow you to bring Zi Ling. I'll take him away! If you want to look for Zi Ling, you must reach the Tier Divine God Peak! And come to the Zi Clan located in the small Galaxy, the crumbling former Galaxy that has slowly formed over the past few million years!”
“Zi Ling already has a marriage contract with the Patriarch Son of the Zi Clan, if you really want to be with him, come in less than 100 years, even if you can reach the Tier Divine God Peak!” zi Yu said then immediately flew in a certain direction at a very high speed and in less than two seconds was instantly invisible.
“Galaxy small?” Ruby was a little surprised. He remembered that one of the Galaxy that was destroyed, was slowly recovering, and it was true that there was one powerful Clan that survived because the strength of the Patriarch Clan could even rival Dark Phoenix in the past.
“Klan Zi's! I did not expect that mother Zi Ling was a part of the extremely ancient Zi Clan! And it seems that her mother is the Holy Princess there! It was certain that she should have married the Patriarch's successor! And since Zi Ling's mother had a husband outside, then the obligation would fall into the hands of Zi Ling!” Ruby instantly remembered about the Zi Clan and the rules that were there.
Ren Yuu who heard that, was surprised but he just clenched his hand. He naturally would not give up on Zi Ling just as he did not give up on Sheng Mei.
