Chen City
Xue Ying and Goddess Kuxing had already arrived at Chen City, Star Qiang after finishing their affairs in the Yunhuang Universe. The affair was to kill the powerful monsters that were used as training materials— to increase the strength of the technique that was being developed.
When the two of them had already arrived at the God Tree, they immediately went to where Lin Chen normally was. They can enter there freely, having obtained permission. Even if they do not have permission, they can enter it at will.
Lin Chen sat cross-leggedly against Xue Ying. "What's up, Yi'er? You look in a hurry. Coincidentally, I was just a clone, my main body was in a very far place. You can't go there to see me, even if you go through the Dimensional Space or the Soul World."
Xue Ying was speechless even though his mouth was already open, like there was a stone sitting in his throat to hold his voice out. Then he stepped up to Lin Chen, and hugged him from behind.
Yan Xue who was sitting beside Lin Chen, opened her eyes slowly. "Is Yi'er lonely?"
Xue Ying did not answer him, but from the expression shown, it was obvious that he was lonely because he was no longer together. All of his nephews had already traveled to other places, including Lin An Guang and Lin An Peiyu. Only he and Goddess Kuxing could travel together.
"Where's the boy going?" asked Xue Ying in a soft voice. His hug tightened as he said it and he buried his face on Lin Chen's back.
Lin Chen raised his right hand and patted Xue Ying on the head. It was quite difficult to do so, because Xue Ying was on his back, not his shoulders. "Sorry, but Yi'er can't figure it out yet.
Xue Ying hugged even tighter, and if this was not Lin Chen, the person he hugged would definitely be injured or even die from his pressure. Clenching his trembling jaw, he said quietly, "Heaven?"
Lin Chen wasn't too surprised when he heard it, because their souls were still connected even if just a little. "Yes, there is indeed the Heavenly Realm. But, you can't go along. At least you must break through the God Realm to be able to ascend there. Originally, only a Realm God alone could ascend from the Universe, but since there was only a Realm God, that way was already unusable ..."
"There is only one way, God Realm and approval from me, Jade Emperor."
Xue Ying released his embrace and moved to Yan Xue. He placed his head on Yan Xue's thigh and closed his eyes. "I've already broken through the Heavenly Realm Peak stage."
Lin Chen was stunned to see Xue Ying who was putting both feet on his thigh. He took a deep breath, then massaged his sister's legs which he had not paid attention to for a long time. "Yi'er, you should know the changes to the God Artifacts embedded in the body, you can use them as best as possible to increase the power."
Xue Ying did not reply even once, and if looked closely, he had already fallen asleep on Yan Xue's lap.
Lin Chen looked back at the Kuxing Goddess. "Do you guys want to go? If you guys want to cultivate, it is better in Chen City, here there is Immortal Energy. The same energy as where I am."
Goddess Kuxing flinched, then closed her eyes to feel the difference in energy. When he sensed it, he suddenly opened his eyes and broke through the Late stage Spirit Realm.
"After the Master broke through the Realm God, I traveled and never knew if the energy here underwent a change. Turns out, it's better here." Goddess Kuxing still could not believe just by breathing the air here, all her bottlenecks in breaking through were instantly overcome.
Lin Chen raised his hand; streams of energy began to gather in his hand and move into the body of the Kuxing Goddess. Not just Eternal Energy, but there was Fortune Energy. He had gotten deep wounds while helping the Kuxing Goddess, just like when helping Yan Xue. If it helped the beings in the Tiantang Realm, it did not obtain the Heaven's Punishment.
Goddess Kuxing looked at her body that was enveloped in golden light, and chose to sit cross-legged to receive everything well without wasting this opportunity. He hoped that with this foreign energy, he would be able to break through the Earth Realm.
"It's the Fortune Energy..." Lin Chen explained the usefulness of the Fortune Energy.
Goddess Kuxing nodded in understanding, then split the Fortune Energy to increase her strength and raise her Divine level Purgatory Artifact to become a God level.
"What's wrong?" asked Lin Chen looking at Yan Xue.
Yan Xue shook her head as she held her head. "No, Xue'er still had trouble controlling the different clones of Nature. Moreover, in the Tiantang Realm we are in the Temple of the Three Pure Gods." He looked in pain, visible from his sweat and groaning.
"You can meditate if you're not used to it. At first I also had a hard time because my vision was different every second, but now I'm used to it."
"Hum?" Xue Ying opened his eyes slowly as he had only fallen asleep for a few minutes. "Sister, do the others know that Brother is gone?"
Lin shook his head while still massaging Xue Ying's two legs. Then he answered after knowing that there was no one but them, "No, no one knows but you, not even the children know about it. I want to let them take the path they want. If I tell him, maybe they'll come back, especially Jian'er ..."
Lin Chen was silent for a moment when he thought about how Lin Qiao Jianying would react if he knew he was leaving. "Perhaps, he'll force her to come along while crying."
Xue Ying jumped up from his position and sat down beside Lin Chen. Yan Xue no longer opened her eyes and chose to close them back because she was not used to it.
"Yi'er feels useless ..." Xue Ying let out a long sigh, and his tone sounded softly mixed with sadness. "It should be Yi'er helping Brother, but ... ." He pressed his lips until he formed a thin line. Tears began to flow in his eyes and fell onto his cheeks.
Lin Chen embraced Xue Ying's shoulder trying to calm her down. He had not spoken, choosing to wait until he was completely calm. Up to an hour, Xue Ying had calmed down even though his eyes were still swollen.
Lin Chen dyed the temple of Xue Ying. "Never say that again, I don't like it. I don't want to see you like this either, I'd rather see you cheerful without burden."
Xue Ying nodded his head, then leaned on Lin Chen's shoulder.
"Yi'er, I can help you break through the God Realm right now. But, it doesn't seem good that you left Yin'er, because she has no friends but you. So, is it okay for you to wait together? Even if you've broken through, I didn't call you to ascend to the Tiantang Realm."
Lin Chen felt that Goddess Kuxing would relapse if left alone, however not long ago from her awakening—so her emotions were not stable—fear if she returned to the times when taking the Dao of Massacre.
Xue Ying nodded his head and said softly, "Alright, Big Brother. Yi'er will obey Brother's orders."
Lin Chen smiled, then asked Xue Ying to sit in front of him, wanting to give him the Fortune Energy. This Fortune Energy was not in the System, so only he could produce and control it.
Xue Ying sat cross-legged with his eyes closed as he absorbed the Fortune Energy. He uses it to improve his body, starting from blood vessels, bones, muscles, internal organs and so forth.
Lin Chen helped him until it didn't feel like two hours had passed, and he finally closed his eyes again just in case. If there is an unresolved danger, then he intervenes.

Tiantang Realm
"How's Yi'er?" asked Yan Xue. From the start it had already severed its connection with the clone left behind in Chen City.
Lin Chen stared straight ahead, looking at the still distant Tiantang Palace. "He's fine, I helped him to break through his God Realm. He wanted to come, but I asked him to wait until Yin'er broke through the God Realm. It's not good to leave her alone."
Yan Xue nodded her head, knowing the intent of Lin Chen's words.
The two continued to fly above the clouds, passing through the Gods and Goddesses who were working on their respective jobs. Heavenly Soldiers were seen training hard in one place, and Heavenly Guardians took turns to guard the Western, Eastern, Northern and Southern Sky Gates.
Suddenly, Lin Chen looked towards the Southern Sky Gate. "I'm exploding!" He clenched his hand.
Boom up!
There was a very loud explosive sound there, even to the point of causing a shock wave capable of blowing clouds below. The explosion could be heard almost all over the Tiantang Region.
"What's up?!" Yan Xue covered her ears.
Lin Chen's expression looked extremely solemn as he clenched his jaw. His right hand was still raised towards the Southern Sky Gate and clenched. "The Heaven Looting Alliance! I've fought them before, but all I fought against was the top of the mountain. Now, they sent out three times as many Realm Lords ..."
"But, I feel that there are still many Realm Lords hiding behind him."
"Is it only at the Gate of the Southern Sky?" asked Yan Xue.
Lin Chen nodded his head, then replied seriously, "For the time being, yes. Perhaps because the Southern Sky Gate was the main gate and was still broken, then they were more attacking there. But, it might just be a diversion, and they attacked from another Sky Gate."
"His Majesty the Emperor!" The Heavenly Soldier came in his form like an ordinary human, behind him many accompanying troops.
"Yes!" Lin Chen flew away carrying Yan Xue to the Southern Sky Gate. "War!"
Lin Chen released the three clones to go to the West, East and North Sky Gate to guard against any other attacks there.
Lin Chen did not expect this, only a few days arrived at the Tiantang Realm, already being treated to various problems. But, what can be done, this is his duty as Jade Emperor.
