147: Chapter 146 A Sense of Crisis from the Ruins

"Hehe..."

Li Gang smiled but did not reply.

Subsequently, the two broke through the Chaos and stepped into the boundless Void Realm.

"Is this world truly evolved by a Cultivator?" Before entering the boundless Void Realm, Li Gang had been mentally prepared for the Dao of the Main World.

However, after entering, he was still deeply shocked.

After all, observing from afar and experiencing it in person are two different things.

"Hehe... Brother Li, if you have nowhere to go, how about coming to my place for a sit?" Ye Xiu extended an invitation.

"I would certainly like to go for a sit."

The two looked at each other and smiled. With a few steps, they had already returned to the Main World.

Great Xia.

Yanjing City, Great Xia Royal Palace.

Ji Xingyue sat upright in the royal hall, carefully reviewing one pile of Materials after another.

Just as she picked up her brush to write down her comments, a familiar Qi appeared once again in the Main World.

She looked up slightly.

That familiar figure had already appeared in the royal hall.

"General, did you achieve a Breakthrough?"

Ji Xingyue put down the Materials in her hand and instantly came to Ye Xiu's side. On her stunningly beautiful face, there was a trace of longing.

Ye Xiu nodded.

He introduced, "This is the Emperor of the Human Emperor World. Please make arrangements for him."

After hearing this, Ji Xingyue turned her gaze to Li Gang.

An Immortal Realm Cultivator with a very stable Dao Qi; he could be considered an expert.

She revealed a polite smile.

She said, "Consort of Great Xia, greets the Emperor."

Looking at Ji Xingyue's double pupils, Li Gang was extremely shocked. Although this woman did not have the aura of an Immortal, that heart-palpitating Dao Qi was truly terrifying.

"What kind of monsters are in this Main World..."

While feeling shocked in his heart, a smile appeared on Li Gang's square face: "I dare not accept the title of Emperor. Now I am just a Loose Cultivator; Consort, please do not address me by the title of Emperor again."

During the time he had spent with Ye Xiu, Li Gang naturally knew of Ye Xiu's identity as the King of Great Xia.

Therefore, he did not have the slightest disrespect toward this peerless woman before him, who was like a banished immortal living in the world.

"Then, Fellow Daoist, please stay in the royal palace for these days. If there is any negligence, I hope Fellow Daoist will not take offense." Ji Xingyue was still smiling.

"Consort, you are joking. Being able to come to the Main World is something I must thank Brother Ye for."

Li Gang replied very politely.

Ye Xiu, standing to the side, saw the two exchanging pleasantries.

He shook his head slightly.

He interrupted, "Brother Li, stop dawdling. You came to the Main World to achieve a Breakthrough to the Supreme Realm, not for a vacation. If there is nothing else, go Cultivate and don't mind us."

Li Gang nodded.

He did not continue with the pleasantries.

After greeting the two, he vanished from sight.

Just at this moment, Ye Xiu spoke via voice transmission to the departing Li Gang: "There are some terrifying experts in the Main World. Brother Li, do not easily touch those areas."

After the words fell, Li Gang's reply reached his ears: "Rest assured, Brother Ye. I will only seek the Dao and will not participate in any faction disputes."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

He did not say anything else.

From then on, only Ye Xiu and Ji Xingyue remained in the great hall.

After looking at each other in silence for a few seconds, a trace of solemnity appeared on Ji Xingyue's beautiful face.

She spoke slowly: "General, there is a matter that may require your assistance."

"Young Miss Xingyue, there is no need for such politeness between us. Just speak directly."

"My Heavenly Dao is already nearing perfection, and I have gained control over many of the connected Domains of the Heavens. However, a few years ago, a strange thing happened in a Domain under my control."

"A strange thing? Even you cannot solve it?"

Ye Xiu was stunned.

Ji Xingyue's Realm had always been among the Dao Lords, but her combat power had long surpassed that of the Immortal Realm.

It was not far from his own.

A matter that even she could not understand most likely involved the Supreme Realm.

"General, let's rest for a few days before going."

Ji Xingyue did not rush to say what the matter was, but instead asked Ye Xiu to rest for a few days first.

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly: "At our Realm, is there any need for rest?"

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Ji Xingyue spoke: "General, what is your opinion on the Return to Ruins?"

"The Northern Polar Region."

"So, General knows."

"Does your trouble come from the Return to Ruins?"

Ye Xiu revealed a solemn expression. When he had passed through the boundless Void Realm earlier, he had indeed felt something different.

In that Northern Polar Region, the original black hole had developed a crack, as if it had been split open by a Sharp Weapon.

Inside the black hole, it was highly likely the location leading to the Return to Ruins.

Could it be that something had come out of the Return to Ruins?

Watching the silent Ji Xingyue, Ye Xiu continued: "Tell me in detail. If it truly involves the Return to Ruins, it is better to resolve it early."

"In that Domain under my control, there were originally hundreds of millions of living beings. But one day, they were all suddenly transformed into life essence and swallowed in one gulp by a black shadow."

"Swallowing life essence?"

Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had done this before; life essence was not only great for Lifespan but also a great supplement for Cultivation.

Ji Xingyue nodded.

Her tone carried great apprehension: "I once used the Way of Time and Space to trace its Origin, but the result obtained was somewhat shocking."

"Continue."

"That black shadow came from the Return to Ruins, and there is more than one. They have no consciousness, but their instinctual behavior is to use the Qi of all living beings to cleanse the Death Qi on their bodies."

"What is their strength?"

"Cannot be determined."

"Then that means they are above you."

Ye Xiu's tone carried a hint of teasing, but his eyes were filled with great solemnity.

A big mess had occurred in the Return to Ruins.

A group of suspected dead Supreme Realm experts had come out from the Return to Ruins, wanting to revive themselves using the life essence of all living beings.

The great hall was quiet for a long time.

Ye Xiu spoke: "Arrange the matters of Great Xia, and I will wait for you here."

Ji Xingyue nodded.

She returned to the throne and began to write a letter.

A few minutes later, the letter floated out of the royal hall and flew toward an unknown region.
