After arriving at Zi Tong’s palace quarters, Zi Tong directly led Lin Yun to the training chamber within her quarters.
“You can begin your comprehension here first.” Zi Tong said to Lin Yun.
“Um… Zi Tong, about your grandfather trying to bring us together…” Lin Yun hesitated, but finally spoke.
Zi Tong’s cheeks flushed faintly when she heard this.
“Grandfather is doing this for the peace of the Elf Clan. It would also bring you great benefits. With this status, you could openly receive the Elf Clan’s resources and inheritances.” Zi Tong replied.
“Zi Tong, this matter cannot be decided only by benefits. The most important thing is what you and I truly feel.” Lin Yun said earnestly.
“You are a good person.”
Zi Tong gave Lin Yun a gentle smile. “Didn’t you say I resemble your late wife? You could think of me as her.”
“Although there is some resemblance, you are yourself. I cannot treat you as a substitute for her. That would be unfair to you.” Lin Yun said seriously.
Then he smiled faintly. “Of course, I also think you are wonderful.”
Lin Yun was well aware that the Star God Canon Zi Tong had given him last time was a divine sense technique of the Elf Royal Clan that was never transmitted outside.
Yet she had risked danger to give it to him.
There was also the time outside Heavenly Saint City when she had staunchly protected him, and the matter with An Yun when she had helped him wholeheartedly, regardless of consequences.
Lin Yun had seen all of this and kept it in his heart.
Hearing his words, Zi Tong immediately felt much more at ease, and naturally very happy inside.
“However, Zi Tong, in my original star realm I already have a family. That is also why I hesitate.” Lin Yun said.
“Then in the Ancestral Land? Do you have a wife or children here?” Zi Tong asked.
“No.” Lin Yun shook his head.
Since arriving in the Ancestral Land, Lin Yun had scarcely thought about such things.
All along, his mind had contained only cultivation. He had never considered matters of romance.
“Only the Ancestral Land exists forever. All other star realms will face epoch destruction. So let me accompany you here in the Ancestral Land, forever and ever.” Zi Tong said with a soft smile.
Her meaning was already perfectly clear.
Lin Yun was momentarily stunned.
Zi Tong continued, “Then begin your comprehension here for now.”
Having said that, she left the training chamber.
Now Lin Yun was alone.
“Focus on the breakthrough first.” Lin Yun took a deep breath and cleared away distracting thoughts.
What he needed to do next was devote himself fully to breaking through to Supreme.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yun entered the One Thought Clarity Tower.
Inside the tower.
Lin Yun closed his eyes, entered a state of comprehension, and continued to digest the insights he had gained in the Chaos Realm.
…
Meanwhile.
The Master of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall was flying high in the sky, rushing upward at extreme speed.
The sky of the Ancestral Land is extraordinarily high. By now the Master had already reached eighty thousand metres.
The higher one flew, the more terrifying the pressure became. Flight grew exceedingly difficult, and the drain on internal energy was immense.
Above eighty thousand metres, without the strength of a Supreme it was essentially impossible to reach such heights.
When the Master finally flew to one hundred thousand metres, he saw a vast white mass of light overhead.
He charged through the light mass and ultimately arrived in a strange space.
The space was entirely white and boundless, with a massive hall at its centre.
In front of the hall, the Leader of the Star Poison Sect, another God-Slaying Gate Master from the Underworld Palace, and the Master of the Dark Night Hall had already gathered.
Counting the Master of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, there were fully five Supremes.
Although the Underworld Palace publicly had only one Supreme, in truth there had always been another. Thus, even after the Palace Master perished, the Underworld Palace still had a Supreme to maintain control.
The Blood Moon Alliance, however, genuinely had only one Supreme.
So after its Leader perished, the Blood Moon Alliance had become a power without any Supreme at all, falling far behind the other five.
But after the Master of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall arrived, a mass of white mist suddenly appeared in front of the hall.
The mist slowly condensed into a human shape.
Yet this figure carried not the slightest trace of human aura.
“Master!”
The five Supremes immediately bowed upon seeing the white mist figure.
“Combine all your forces. Within a thousand years, eliminate Lin Yun. Also eliminate the two Supremes who aid him, Flying Shadow Golden Lord and Destruction Golden Lord. After you kill them, you will receive the rewards I grant.” The white mist figure spoke slowly.
