Chapter 274: Chapter 181: Unification of the World and a New World
After all, with such a momentous event unfolding, she was filled with unease.
Her cultivation was only at the Divine Origin Realm. ’If I go with Lu Yuan, I’m afraid I’ll just be a burden.’ But if she didn’t go, she didn’t know if they would ever see each other again in this lifetime.
For a moment, she was torn.
"I’m preparing to ascend in six months. I’ve already made arrangements for all of your futures. If you have even a sliver of a chance, the cultivation resources I’ve left are more than enough to help you reach the Earth Immortal Realm.
Everyone, after we part this time, I don’t know when we’ll meet again. Take care of yourselves. I need to enter seclusion for the time being, so we won’t see each other again.
If fate allows, we will meet again someday."
THUD!
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone knelt on the ground in unison.
Tears streamed down Old Huang’s weathered face. He thought back to how he used to be—just a feeble old man, bullied by all, with one foot in the grave.
If not for Lu Yuan, he might not even be alive today.
But now, he not only owned a large house in the Imperial City but also held a post at the Observatory, had gotten married, and had a son.
Thanks to a mountain of resources, his cultivation had even reached the Innate Realm, greatly increasing his lifespan.
His gratitude was immeasurable, and he had long come to see Lu Yuan as his pillar of support. Now that Lu Yuan was leaving, how could he not be heartbroken?
Wu Han, a high-ranking official of Great Qin, was also choked with emotion at this moment.
Seeing them like this, Lu Yuan said softly, "It’s not as if we’ll never have a chance to meet again. Cultivate well, and don’t be so sentimental."
After he spoke,
he gestured for everyone to rise.
Wu Han and the others could only nod in acknowledgment.
The reason Lu Yuan was staying for six months was that he planned to raise his mother’s cultivation level. He would then take her with him to ascend once she met the minimum requirement for teleportation.
After all, he didn’t know if he would ever have a chance to return from the Upper Realm.
It was better to take his mother with him than to leave her all alone in this world.
According to his findings, one’s cultivation had to be at least at the Divine Origin Realm to withstand the Teleportation Array’s energy. This meant Lu Yuan had no choice but to find a way to raise his mother’s cultivation level.
After reassuring Wu Han and the others,
Lu Yuan saw them off.
Once everyone had left, a look of exhaustion appeared on Lu Yuan’s face.
Zhou Hongling came to his side and gently kneaded his shoulders, whispering, "I..."
"Don’t worry. In six months, we’ll leave together. One person can bring a maximum of two others, so I’ll be taking you and my mother.
The other world may be unknown, but we won’t be alone. We’ll have Auntie, Hu’Er, Xiao Gu, and the others.
It’s much better than being left behind all alone." This was a conclusion Lu Yuan had reached after much thought. He figured that if he were the one left behind, he would probably just die of loneliness.
Zhou Hongling nodded.
Lu Yuan turned to look at her. Today, Zhou Hongling was wearing a long red dress that traced her already voluptuous figure, making her look mature and alluring. He finally couldn’t help but say, "It’s about time we had our wedding night."
As soon as the words left his mouth,
a blush spread across Zhou Hongling’s face.
Still, she obediently followed Lu Yuan into the private quarters of the Prince’s Mansion.
What happened next needs no further elaboration.
Time flowed on, and another six months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lu Yuan stood within the Imperial Palace, flanked by his mother and Zhou Hongling.
When the new emperor of Great Qin, Xiao Mo, saw a celestial light descend upon the three of them, he bowed and said, "A respectful farewell to you, Brother!"
Clearly, Lu Yuan had also made his breakthrough.
It was time to leave.
With Xiao Mo’s words still in his ears, he, along with Zhou Hongling and his mother, vanished on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in a new environment.
Lu Yuan’s first impression was one of desolation and a profound, heavy pressure. The Spiritual Qi here was far more turbulent and much richer than in the world he’d left; it had undergone a qualitative change.
He scanned his surroundings and saw unfamiliar figures everywhere. They all wore the same bewildered expressions, though some were tinged with excitement. Clearly, they had all just been teleported here as well.
In the distance stood a pitch-black city wall of indeterminable height, etched with crimson runes.
Lu Yuan could sense that with his current cultivation, if he were to strike that wall with full force, he would probably be repelled in an instant.
Furthermore, flight was impossible here, suppressed by an Array.
Zhou Hongling was clearly nervous, her grip on Lu Yuan’s hand tightening.
His mother also stayed right by his side, not daring to move an inch away.
In the crowd, Lu Yuan noticed others who had also brought their families along. For the most part, their cultivation levels were not high.
Others had come alone.
As everyone was cautiously observing their new surroundings,
a gruff voice rang out. "Don’t just stand there gawking! Get over here and register! If you have family here to pick you up, you can leave right after.
Those of you without family will be taken outside the city walls together in a moment."
Lu Yuan looked over and saw a tall, burly man exuding a powerful aura, shouting from a high platform.
Below him was a row of tables. People were seated at each one, registering the identities of those waiting in line.
After registering, some people were led away by those who had long been waiting for them.
Others simply looked lost as they followed a guide into a separate group, waiting to be taken somewhere.
After walking a few steps, Lu Yuan spotted Xiao Gu. Standing beside him was Xiao Hua, waving at him.
After the first group had ascended, it became possible to communicate between the Upper and Lower Realms for brief, unstable periods. It was, however, stable enough to convey a specific arrival time.
Xiao Hua looked overjoyed.
However, she had matured a great deal, so she contained herself, her delight visible only in her sparkling eyes.
But Lu Yuan could tell that life in the Upper Realm clearly hadn’t been easy for Xiao Gu and the others.
