"My people of the God Realm."
"Today, this Empress is addressing everyone regarding the great commotion that shook the God Realm only a few days ago."
Chi Wuyao's voice resounded across every corner of the realm, carried through the iProfound devices and projected onto the massive screens in every great city. Her tone was nothing like the usual seductive, soft, and lazy voice that could melt a person's body into mush and steal their very soul. Instead, it was cold, solemn, and carried an authority that could not be questioned.
For a moment, it seemed as if the entire God Realm had fallen into silence, every gaze and ear fixed on her, and not a single person dared to miss even one word.
"As everyone may have noticed, there have been many rumors and theories spreading throughout these past few days," Chi Wuyao had seen the ridiculous stories the people of the God Realm had conjured, and one could only say they were extremely funny to say the least, "I am here to tell you that everything you have heard and read is nothing but nonsense."
"Four months ago, the Great Emperor, I, the other consorts and concubines, along with her Highness the princess, entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm to further raise our cultivation."
This statement did not come as a surprise to anyone. After all, many knew that Yun Wuji possessed a Heavenly Profound Treasure and had even managed to wrest control of the Eternal Heaven Pearl from the Eternal Heaven Great Ancestors, so it was not strange for him to make use of it.
If they felt anything, it would be envy, especially among women who envied the consorts for spending hundreds of years in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, enjoying the Great Emperor's company.
Yun Wuji's appearance, charm, talent, and status were dangerously irresistible to any woman. Countless women were infatuated with him, and there were even numerous fan clubs dedicated solely to him.
Rumors went further, claiming that some extreme groups of women had even begun creating a religion to worship him as their God.
"I think many of you have now guessed the reason for the commotion that occurred that day," Chi Wuyao paused, giving everyone a moment to process her words, before continuing, "The Great Emperor made a major breakthrough in his cultivation. After leaving the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he wanted to stretch a little, and when he released his power, it caused that commotion."
"The Great Emperor's power is higher than the heavens themselves, and his cultivation has far surpassed the limits of the current Primal Chaos. The weak and fragile laws of this world could not withstand his unparalleled strength, which caused such a commotion."
"But do not worry, everyone. The Great Emperor is someone who cares deeply for this world and its inhabitants. He has sealed most of his strength, fearing it might cause irreparable damage to the world and all living beings."
Everyone listening felt as if they were hearing some absurd wish-fulfillment story. Surpassing the entire world? The reason the whole God Realm was shaking like a pounded ass was because the Great Emperor was simply letting loose?
Just how strong is he!?!!!
"I am also happy to announce that all of the Great Emperor's harem have reached the peak of the 10th level Divine Master Realm, and this Empress, Consort Red, Consort Glazed Glass, Consort Gold, Consort Ice..." Chi Wuyao listed more than a dozen names before continuing, "have all reached the Half-step Half-God Realm, which is the limit this world can produce."
This announcement was shocking as well, but compared to the first, it was far more acceptable.
"Another thing I wish to announce is that Her Highness the Princess, Yun Wuxin, with her extraordinary talent and genius, reached the peak of the 10th level Divine Master Realm in but a 100 years. His Majesty the Emperor's talent is unparalleled and frightening, and his daughter's talent is second only to his."
"To celebrate this, there will be a celebration next month..." After announcing the breakthrough and even the existence of Yun Wuxin to the world, she proceeded to reveal the date of the celebration, as well as the massive tax exemptions the realms would receive for this joyous occasion.
When the broadcast ended, everyone remained silent for a full minute before erupting into a massive commotion.
...
"Did you enjoy your time with Aunt Shen Xi?" Yun Wuji asked as he flew out of the Forbidden Land of Samsara with Yun Wuxin.
Luo Guxie stayed with Shen Xi.
The two pregnant women seemed to find many things in common, and since, for obvious reasons, Luo Guxie had no place she considered home aside from the Limitless Emperor City, she did not go to the Holy Eaves Realm to check on it.
The two spent two weeks in the Forbidden Land of Samsara; most of the time, Yun Wuji spent making up for the longing he felt after not seeing Shen Xi for over three hundred years.
He had been dual cultivating with Xiao Lingxi for many years in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, and each time he did, he would gain a tiny amount of the gray power he identified as the power of Nothingness. 'Practicing' dozens of times each day for hundreds of years, Yun Wuji not only deepened his understanding of the Law of Nothingness, but the amount of Nothingness power he had gathered had also accumulated into a considerable amount.
When he dual cultivated with Shen Xi these days, both of them felt that the rate at which her seal was weakening had increased several times over.
After just two weeks, they both sensed that what was originally estimated to take ten years had been reduced by nearly half.
"Hmph! She is only acting nice to me because you are my daddy! Don't think I don't know her plans!" Yun Wuxin's face flushed. Whenever she dealt with Shen Xi, the dragon lady always found a way to defuse her hostility. "She only wants to steal you from me, with her daughter!"
"...Really, why did you take after Qianye Ying'er out of all the women?" Yun Wuji shook his head with a weary smile. He ruffled her hair until it was completely messy before saying, "Shen Xi is not like that, and 'her daughter' is also your younger sister. I expect you to look after her in the future."
Out of all women, Yun Wuxin idolized Qianye Ying'er and Chi Wuyao, though she leaned more toward Qianye Ying'er. She had inherited her paranoid and jealous personality, which could be seen in how she always tried to find ways to interrupt Yun Wuji whenever she sensed he was with other women.
Now, knowing that another daughter was about to be born, her jealousy flared even further.
"That's because Aunty Ying'er is the best! She is so beautiful, elegant, and unrestrained. She does everything without caring about the world, and I want to be like her too!" Yun Wuxin raised her head proudly, her inky black hair swaying in the air while her golden robe drifted with the wind.
"Let's go back," Yun Wuji said. He had had this conversation with her countless times and was tired of it. Taking her hand, they both teleported back to the Eastern Divine Region.
"You are really strong, Daddy! With just one move, you can teleport across the entire God Realm!" Yun Wuxin stared at the Limitless Emperor City below and exclaimed softly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her father. She had tried to teleport like him, but she could barely move within a single Realm, let alone from one realm to another.
"That's nothing. I'll show you something even more amazing," Yun Wuji said with a proud smile. The space around him suddenly rippled, the waves spreading across the entire Eastern Divine Region in less than a second.
Once it happened, thousands upon thousands of Yun Wujis appeared around them. They all spoke at the same time, "See? Aren't I amazing?"
"Is this the Omnipresent Domain Aunty Wuyao told me about?!" Yun Wuxin stared with wide eyes at the countless versions of her daddy before her and exclaimed, "Shit! This is so cool!"
"Is it really true that you can appear in different places at the same time, and these aren't just clones?!" Yun Wuxin walked over to one and poked his cheeks.
"Of course, these aren't clones. This guy uses the power of time and space to appear in different places at the same time." Yun Wuji smiled but didn't answer. The one who spoke was Hei Xiaolian, her voice coming from different directions all at once.
"Aunty Xiaolian? You can do that too?!" Yun Wuxin's amazement and excitement grew even more.
"No, I can't. But since I'm linked to this guy, I naturally appear in the same places he is," Hei Xiaolian answered. She then added, "Naturally, this doesn't apply to only me. That red brat and little You'er are the same."
"That's even more amazing! It means he can use things like the Sky Poison Pearl in different places at the same time! Isn't this cheating? How could a skill like this even exist?!" Yun Wuxin had only ever heard about this skill before, and since there hadn't been any chance for Yun Wuji to use it in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, her shock was immense, nearly overturning everything she knew about the world.
"No wonder Aunties always say that Daddy's genius is frightening!"
"But of course," all the Yun Wujis said proudly. "When it comes to space and time, my will is truly sublime."
"He's showing off again," Hei Xiaolian muttered, covering her face and cringing, while Yun Wuxin's eyes sparkled. She even quickly took out a notebook and scribbled down what her father said. "This is so cool! I'll use it in the future."
"Yeah, yeah, sure," Yun Wuji said casually, then suddenly said, "You've spent your whole life in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm. It's time for you to explore this world yourself."
"Really? Can I go and travel alone?" Yun Wuxin asked in surprise.
"Yeah, you're already a 10th level Divine Master. No harm will befall you. Those strong enough to challenge you won't dare to offend you, much less hurt you. Furthermore, as long as you are in the Eastern Divine Region, I can always appear beside you whenever you call," Yun Wuji said. He wanted her to travel the world, expand her vision, and see the many faces of it.
She may be 332 years old, but her personality was that of an immature 18-year-old.
"Hmm, okay, I'll do it!" Yun Wuxin thought for a moment before saying, then transformed into a white ray and shot off in a random direction.
Yun Wuji stood still for a moment, waiting until Yun Wuxin had traveled far from the Limitless Emperor City. Yet to him, it was as if she were right beside him. And it wasn't just her; if he wished, he could sense, hear, and see anything in the Eastern Divine Region, and appear anywhere as well. Nothing could be hidden from him inside the Omnipresent Domain.
In fact, with his current cultivation, his domain could cover the entire God Realm. Unfortunately, doing so would cause another massive commotion, as it would require him to mobilize far more power.
It wasn't just his cultivation and strength that had undergone a tremendous change. Another remarkable and astonishing transformation had taken place inside his profound veins.
The interior of his profound veins had expanded immensely. The original dark world dotted with stars had grown into what looked like an endless universe, filled with even more stars. The seven gigantic stars representing the seven elements were still present, but they had grown larger. What was even more eye-catching were the seventy-eight enormous vortexes spinning rapidly.
The vortex that once formed the Nine Exquisite World was no longer there.
Yun Wuji worked hard to fully fuse it with his profound veins and even elevate them to an entirely new level. The amount of energy he now possessed was so immense that he effectively had endless power.
No matter what skill he used or how frequently he used it, it would never even come close to matching a tenth of the speed at which his energy regenerated.
The most absurd thing, however, was that he could now store a limited number of living beings inside this world.
This was something unheard of, even in the wildest dreams, something no one had ever imagined, much less believed could exist. If the Ancestral Goddess were to appear right now and see this world, she would be scared shitless.
How the fuck did the cultivation system she created produce something like this?
In fact, if he were to show someone the world inside his profound veins, they might die from shock. Yun Wuji caressed his chin and thought to himself that perhaps he should try it. He hadn't forgotten the goal he had set for himself, to frighten someone to death with his genius.
