663: I'm back

"Xuan Xiao, long time no see."

Lin Yang spoke first. He could tell that although Xuan Xiao was very excited at the moment, he was also somewhat reserved.

He tried to speak to Xuan Xiao in his usual tone.

Although he knew that as his strength increased, the gap between them had become too great to fully return to the past, he still tried to alleviate Xuan Xiao's pressure.

Hearing his usual tone, Xuan Xiao visibly relaxed a lot and smiled at him, saying, "Lin..."

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Xuan Xiao's words got stuck again. For a moment, he didn't know how to address Lin Yang.

They were indeed waiting here because Xuan Yu and the others had specifically notified them.

And they were clearly told that Lin Yang's power had far surpassed that of the several Ancestors, so asking them to revere him as an Old Ancestor was also an attempt to further bridge the relationship with Lin Yang.

To be honest, when Xuan Xiao and the others received the notification from Xuan Yu and the others, they were all shocked. They couldn't imagine that in such a short time, Lin Yang had reached a point where even their own Ancestors had to treat him respectfully!

However, Xuan Yu and the others' strict instructions made them have no choice but to comply.

So now, Xuan Xiao was a bit hesitant.

Lin Yang, however, saw Xuan Xiao's difficulty again and immediately laughed, "You can just call me by my name. The Saint Xuan Rulers too, honestly, when you call me Old Ancestor, it makes me sound a bit too old, like an old immortal, haha."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field noticeably relaxed a lot again.

Xuan Taihuang and the others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuan Xiao no longer hesitated and immediately said, as he used to:

"Lin Yang, welcome back again! You don't know, when I received the notification from the Ancestors, I was almost scared to death. You're too amazing!"

"Haha, isn't it good that I'm amazing?" Lin Yang also laughed heartily.

In this conversation, it seemed as if they had returned to the past.

After greeting everyone, Lin Yang then took out the spatial ring Xuan Yu had given him earlier and handed it to Xuan Taihuang:

"Your Excellency Xuan Taihuang, these are the resources Xuan Yu and the others asked me to bring back for you. They are all in this spatial ring."

He had already figured out that Xuan Taihuang was still in charge.

And the other Saint Xuan Rulers all deferred to him.

Without needing to think much, this was definitely because of him, so he directly handed the spatial ring to Xuan Taihuang.

Xuan Taihuang took the spatial ring and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Excellency Lin Yang."

"It's nothing," Lin Yang waved his hand, then indicated that he wanted to speak with Xuan Xiao alone. Xuan Taihuang and the others immediately tactfully left.

After they left, Lin Yang looked at Xuan Xiao and said, "Xuan Xiao, although my current strength is already stronger than your Ancestors, your mother's hometown is within the territory of Chu Country, and I cannot set foot there for now. However, when I return this time, I will undergo the Dao Tribulation. Once I pass the Dao Tribulation, I will be able to bring your mother's ashes home."

He knew that Xuan Xiao must be very concerned about this.

Xuan Xiao was deeply moved to see Lin Yang bring up this matter as soon as he returned:

"Lin Yang, thank you! Actually, there's no need to rush. These years, because of you, the Ancestors have often contacted us, and we've learned a bit about the situation in the High-Level Spacetime."

"That Chu Country is too powerful. Even if you pass the Dao Tribulation, there's no need to rush. You must be fully confident before going!"

Lin Yang nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, my current strength is already comparable to the Dao Tribulation Realm. Once I pass the Dao Tribulation, I estimate I'll be comparable to a seasoned Dao Tribulation Realm expert."

"By then, I wouldn't dare say I can deal with Chu Country alone, but bringing your mother's ashes back to her hometown will definitely not be a problem!"

With that, he patted Xuan Xiao's shoulder: "At that time, I'll record it for you to see!"

"Thank you!" Xuan Xiao's eyes were slightly red.

Butler Fu bowed deeply, his eyes also red as he choked out, "Thank you, Lord Lin Yang, for fulfilling my young mistress's last wish!"

"Butler Fu, what are you doing?" Lin Yang quickly helped Butler Fu up. "You and His Highness helped me a lot before; this is what I should do."

Butler Fu wiped his eyes, and Xuan Xiao said, "Lin Yang, our help to you, to be honest, seems insignificant now, yet you still care so much about this matter, which truly makes us grateful!"

For Lin Yang, with his current strength, to still remember this matter so solemnly, and to bring it up as the first thing upon returning from the High-Level Spacetime, truly deeply moved and grateful both Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu.

"What are you talking about?"

Lin Yang shook his head with a sigh, then continued:

"Let's not talk about these things. My time back this time is limited, and I cannot stay in the Endless Spacetime for too long. After I've seen you all and put your minds at ease, I'll have to return to Zhu Cang Country. Once I'm back in Zhu Cang Country, I'll have to return to the High-Level Spacetime."

"Alright, then Butler Fu and I wish you a smooth passage through the Dao Tribulation!" Xuan Xiao offered his and Butler Fu's blessings.

"Thank you!"

Lin Yang laughed heartily, then with a wave of his hand, a tear in the space of the Endless Spacetime instantly appeared above Zhu Cang Country.

"Lord Lin Yang's strength is truly unfathomable!"

Butler Fu felt this scene and couldn't help but sigh... Zhu Cang Country.

As soon as Lin Yang returned, he spread his perception, covering the entire royal capital.

Familiar faces appeared one by one in his perception.

People from Blue Star, including his mother, He Fatty, Zhao Zizhen, Ye Guhong, as well as Song Changming, Dr. Chu, and other first acquaintances, were all accounted for.

Cang Miao from the Universe Zone, Shang Chengfeng, Hua Qianyu, and Meng Yuwan, as well as Hua Zikai, Meng Zhantian, and Tea Banquet, Zi Yun, Kong Shan Yu, Pan Tian, Autumn Eaves, Chen Lu, and others were all present.

And Bai Zi and others who followed him were all there!

An indescribable sense of peace welled up in Lin Yang's heart.

Then, he simultaneously transmitted his voice: "Everyone, I am back!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The next moment, everyone simultaneously showed shock, followed by pleasant surprise, looking towards Lin Yang's location.

"Son!"

"Master!"

"Your Excellency Lin Yang!"

"Commander!"

"Lord of the Country!"

"..."

For a moment, various appellations came one after another, each making Lin Yang incredibly happy.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Lin Yang first hugged his mother, Zhang Fang, and then greeted everyone else one by one.

He even hugged Butler One.

Unfortunately, Lin Mu was not present.

Lin Yang was also a bit helpless with this fellow; he was too elusive.

"Son, why did you suddenly come back?"

After the reunion, Zhang Fang, on behalf of everyone, curiously asked.

Lin Yang's return was just too sudden.

"I came home this time to see everyone, because my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so I came back to take a look."

Lin Yang didn't go into too much detail, fearing that they would worry if they knew he was about to undergo the Dao Tribulation.

"Are you leaving again after this visit?" Zhang Fang asked again.

He Fatty also chimed in, "Lin Yang, why don't you just stay this time? We haven't gathered in a long time."

Shang Chengfeng and Cang Miao also looked on with anticipation.

Lin Yang looked at everyone's gazes and sighed softly: "I must leave, because of the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth, I cannot stay here for too long."

How could he not want to stay for a few more days, but his strength did not yet allow it!

Everyone felt a bit downcast upon hearing this.

Lin Yang then took out some resources and distributed them to everyone.

Time was pressing; he did everything quickly!

After seeing his family and friends, he also wanted to go back to the Universe Zone to take a look.

And explore the River of Time Reversal again.

A few days later, Lin Yang prepared to return to the Universe Zone.

He Fatty suddenly pulled him aside to a corner and whispered:

"Lin Yang, how long until you return next time?"

"Hard to say, what's wrong?" Lin Yang looked at He Fatty, feeling that he had something on his mind.

"Sigh, it's nothing really, it's just, you know, our cultivation talent is far inferior to yours. Even with the resources you provide, we can't keep breaking through to very high realms. I'm afraid if you don't come back for another tens of thousands of years, many people won't be able to see you one last time."

He Fatty said in a low voice, making Lin Yang's heart skip a beat.

This was, indeed, a very big problem.

Lin Yang fell silent.

In fact, how could he not know these things?

He had just deliberately avoided thinking about it.

Now that He Fatty brought it up, it forced him to prepare for the cruelest reality. (End of chapter)
