88: A mysterious person blocked the road, the Chu family ancestor

"Your Highness, this world...?"

Everyone traveled through the cross-world teleportation platform to the Lower Realm of Tongtian, and then teleported to the Middle Realm of Tongtian.

They were to travel from the special teleportation platform in the Middle Realm of Tongtian to the Lei Yuan Realm.

And just as she entered the Middle Realm of Tongtian, Su Lianxue was stunned by the scene before her eyes.

The sky was filled with flying ships that blotted out the sun, all forged from various Heaven And Earth Treasures. Some radiated brilliant light, some vanished into the Void Realm, and some rippled with power. It was truly a wondrous sight...

The ground here was one world, and the sky seemed to be another.

It captivated her.

Su Lianxue had never imagined that a world could operate in such a manner.

Nor had she imagined that there could be so many flying ships in this world.

"This is the Middle Realm of Tongtian, the center of the Middle Thousand Worlds. Whether it's the Upper Realm or the Lower Realm, or if one wishes to go to other Middle Thousand Worlds, they will pass through here."

"If you have the chance to leave the Lei Yuan Realm in the future, you will become familiar with this place."

As soon as the group exited the teleportation platform, Jun Lingxiao also looked up, then spoke indifferently, glancing at her.

"It's you, aren't you afraid to come to the Middle Thousand World alone?"

"You were born in the Lower Realm. Not to mention that it's extremely difficult for your Cultivation talent and Realm to catch up with those in the Middle Thousand World, let alone being surrounded by strangers."

"There's no need to force your way into a world that doesn't belong to you."

"It's not too late to regret it now."

Su Lianxue listened, then shook her head, not saying much.

This was her chance, an opportunity for a carp to leap over the Dragon Gate. Whether it was lonely or difficult, only by seizing this opportunity could she have a future.

After witnessing the vastness of this world, she did not want to live a mediocre life in the Lower Realm, and... thinking this, Su Lianxue looked at Jun Lingxiao's back.

Her fingers gradually tightened.

"Staying in the Lower Realm for a lifetime, I would never be able to catch up to you. Only by coming to the Upper Realm can I hope to touch your back, can I hope... to meet again."

She had imagined countless times the various things that would happen if she came to the Upper Realm alone, but Jun Lingxiao was like a flame, making her willing to throw herself into it.

Staying in the Lower Realm would keep her safe, but... once Jun Lingxiao left, they would never meet again in this lifetime.

Only by coming to the Middle Thousand World, and eventually climbing to the true Upper Realm, could she possibly catch up to his back.

Just as the group paused, a giant ship slowly approached from a distance.

Black and gold intertwined, it was unmistakably the style of the Jun Family.

"Your Highness, we have come to welcome you."

Figures descended from the giant ship, kneeling on one knee in salute.

Kneeling before the Divine Son was a Jun Family custom.

"You are late."

An Luoxin reprimanded from the side.

They should have been waiting here earlier.

As soon as she spoke, cold sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of the leading man.

"My sincerest apologies, Your Highness! There was a slight disturbance in the Tongtian Realm due to the Chu Family..."

"Enough, let's go."

Jun Lingxiao interrupted him, directly leading the group onto the ship.

It seemed everything he saw and heard today was about the Chu Family, and he was getting somewhat annoyed.

Standing steady on the ship, Su Lianxue was slightly silent, now truly understanding what the Jun Family was.

Jun Lingxiao sat at the front of the ship, Jun Zizhuo and An Luoxin stood to his left and right, and behind them... countless black-armored soldiers guarded every corner of the ship. Each of their Cultivations was unfathomable, and the leader was even more unsettling.

Yet, even such individuals had to half-kneel before Jun Lingxiao.

"Divine Son..."

Su Lianxue muttered these two words, for the second time becoming curious about the identity behind them.

She was curious about Jun Lingxiao's identity, his strength, everything about him intrigued her.

Thinking this, Su Lianxue subconsciously looked at the elegant figure standing beside Jun Lingxiao. Although not formally introduced, she had learned her name from their conversations in the Lower Realm.

An Luoxin... Jun Lingxiao's maid... If that position were hers... "Hmph."

As if knowing Su Lianxue's thoughts, An Luoxin turned and glanced at her, saying nothing, but giving a scornful smile.

Everything was unspoken.

"Your Highness, please transfer."

The flying ship flew for a while, then stopped in a mountain area. This was another transit station.

Unlike in the city, the path to the Lei Yuan Realm entrance passed through a special thunder domain. Legend had it that it was formed from the fall of a Great Emperor, terrifying beyond measure, requiring a transfer to a special flying ship.

Here there were flying ships for Loose Cultivators, which could be ridden for a certain amount of Spirit Stones, but a large Family like the Jun Family certainly had dedicated flying ships for its Disciples.

Incidentally, the Jun Family's flying ship industry spanned the Middle Thousand World, the Upper Thousand Realms, and the Ten Directions Immortal Court. One of Jun Lingxiao's sisters managed it, and five out of ten flying ships were produced and operated by the Jun Family, showing good momentum.

This was also why the Jun Family had not ventured into the Lower Realm; they had too many industries and needed too many people, so there was simply no spare manpower.

"Child, are you also going to the Lei Yuan Realm? Shall I give you a ride?"

As everyone disembarked from the flying ship, they were surprised to find an old woman standing there, speaking while pointing to the flying ship behind her.

It was an unremarkable scene that no one paid attention to, until she spoke to Jun Lingxiao. When everyone looked, they felt it was strange.

She had no Cultivation, or rather... her Cultivation was indiscernible.

"Your Highness..."

The expressions of the group originally following Jun Lingxiao changed, and they all stepped forward to surround the old woman. Jun Zizhuo took a step forward, shielding Jun Lingxiao behind him.

An Luoxin was even more extreme; she was already preparing to strike first.

A chilling aura of killing intent immediately enveloped the area, drawing sidelong glances from passersby. Now everyone waited for Jun Lingxiao to speak.

And the old woman, facing such a scene, showed no change in expression on her face, maintaining that same smiling face.

Watching this, Jun Lingxiao chuckled lightly, then calmly waved his hand at the crowd.

"Then let's take her flying ship."

After speaking, he directly walked onto the flying ship under the bewildered gazes of the group, as if certain that the other party would not harm him.

Although they didn't know why their Your Highness was so decisive, everyone still followed him aboard.

The group originally thought there would be an ambush, but surprisingly, the deck of the flying ship... was empty.

This flying ship seemed to have been placed there specifically for Jun Lingxiao. Inside the cabin, apart from the person operating the ship, not a single extra person could be found.

Seeing Jun Lingxiao so decisive, the old woman became interested. She stared fixedly at Jun Lingxiao, as if trying to see through him, until the flying ship ascended into the sky before she spoke.

"Child, aren't you curious who I am?"

She asked, narrowing her eyes.

But Jun Lingxiao was not in the mood for riddles with her.

"Not only do I know you are the Old Ancestor of the Chu Family who has been in seclusion for a long time, but I also know that what stands before me is merely one of your Dao bodies, and I even know that you came specifically for me."

"Now, I even know the reason why the Tongtian Realm is in turmoil."

"It's you, Old Ancestor, aren't you curious how I know?"

Jun Lingxiao looked at her, tilting his head slightly, and actually countered with a question.
