"Husband!"
A graceful figure appeared in front of Su Jie, her stunning form and a pair of autumnal eyes full of longing, gazing steadily at Su Jie.
"My dear, long ti no see."
Su Jie took the initiative to open his arms and embraced Han Ruyan.
"It’s been such a long ti. If I had known, I would have gone with you back then."
Han Ruyan hugged Su Jie tightly, as if she never wanted to be apart from him again.
Almost imdiately following Han Ruyan, several figures arrived one after another.
Ning Xinyue, Ning Yunying, Qin Yushang, Liu Yingying.
"Su Jie, you jerk! Why were you gone for so long? You broke your promise."
Ning Xinyue rushed over, her eyes already teary before she could speak, tears sliding down her delicate cheeks, and she pounded her small fists against Su Jie’s chest.
"Husband!"
Liu Yingying was emotional as well, hugging one of Su Jie’s arms, biting his shoulder in anger: "135 years, a whole 135 years. Do you know how I lived through those years?"
"I’m sorry, sothing ca up."
Su Jie kissed Ning Xinyue and Liu Yingying on the forehead, then turned his gaze towards Ning Yunying and Qin Yushang.
"Welco ho."
Ning Yunying nodded slightly, not as emotional as her sister, but her eyes betrayed her feelings.
"Husband."
Qin Yushang stepped forward, grabbing Su Jie’s large hand, her eyes full of joy.
This century-long separation was very long for the won of Su Jie.
"I’ve been thinking about you all this past century, and to return sooner, I practiced without rest. It seems you haven’t wasted the ti either; you’ve all improved a lot."
Su Jie observed the won and noticed their changes.
"I am now also the Emperor Dongxu."
Ning Xinyue proudly raised her chin, as if waiting for Su Jie to say those words.
She and Qin Yushang had both ascended to Emperor Dongxu and were strong among them.
This pace of cultivation was astonishing for them.
"I’m only at the Purple Mansion Realm!"
Liu Yingying’s cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Her cultivation aptitude was poor, and her promotion to the Purple Mansion Realm depended on piled-up resources.
"Crossing Realm!"
Han Ruyan spoke calmly. With the Immortal Blood and the Reincarnation Spear given by Su Jie, she had spent the past century peeling off Tao Divine Patterns from the Tao River, completing the True Spirit Transformation.
"I am the sa."
Ning Yunying continued to explain. She was the first prodigy in the Tianyuan World besides Su Jie. Over the past century, with the help of Immortal Blood and after Han Ruyan beca Crossing Dao Heavenly Venerable, the Reincarnation Spear was lent to Ning Yunying to help her refine the Tao Divine Patterns. Now, she has completed the most critical leap and ascended to beco Crossing Dao Heavenly Venerable.
"It’s not just us; Xiao Qian and Xiao Nian have also advanced to the Crossing Realm."
Han Ruyan continued, providing Su Jie with good news.
As they spoke, a rainbow light flew over.
Buzz!
The rainbow light transford into the shrunken figure of a thousand-hand centipede, instantly flying to Su Jie’s shoulder, chirping joyfully and with a bit of grievance, like a long-lost puppy seeing its owner.
Since the thousand-hand centipede was cultivated by Su Jie to beco his Lifebound poisonous insect, it had never been separated from Su Jie for so long. A century may be nothing to a powerful creature, often passing during a single secluded cultivation retreat, but for the thousand-hand centipede, being apart from Su Jie for so long made it yearn uncontrollably. Seeing Su Jie now filled it with excitent.
Chirp!
The annual ring worm also lifted its head from the thousand-hand centipede, calling out twice to Su Jie, its tiny sesa-like eyes curiously eyeing him, as if discovering sothing good about Su Jie.
Su Jie rubbed the thousand-hand centipede and the annual ring worm, smiling: "Look what I’ve brought back for you."
With that said, Su Jie opened his palm, releasing strands of Hongng Immortal Qi.
The mont the Hongng Immortal Qi appeared, Han Ruyan shivered slightly, Ning Yunying’s gaze sharpened, and the thousand-hand centipede and annual ring worm leaned in with longing eyes.
In contrast, Ning Xinyue, Liu Yingying, and Qin Yushang showed little reaction to the Hongng Immortal Qi.
Only those at the Crossing Realm could slightly sense the imnse energy contained within the Hongng Immortal Qi.
"Is this your harvest from this journey?"
Han Ruyan reached out to touch the Hongng Immortal Qi but imdiately pulled back, feeling a sense of awe and illusion as if overlooking the Tao.
"Yes, I gained a lot this ti; it’s related to becoming immortal."
Su Jie nodded and began to recount his deeds from the journey.
Upon hearing Su Jie’s adventures in the Heavenly Palace, Ning Xinyue and Liu Yingying frequently gasped, especially when they learned of the revival of the Heavenly Emperor, their bright eyes widened in shock.
When everything was told, Ning Xinyue eagerly touched Su Jie, unable to wait: "Su Jie, are you about to beco immortal? You don’t look any different from us!"
Ning Yunying frowned at her sister, knocking on her head: "It’s not you becoming immortal, why are you so excited?"
"Hmph, Su Jie is my husband. If he becos immortal, it’s practically like I beco immortal too!"
Ning Xinyue puffed her cheeks angrily, even though she had beco Emperor Dongxu, she was still the mischievous sister in Ning Yunying’s eyes.
"Becoming immortal is still difficult for , but seeing you all gives the confidence to achieve it."
Su Jie’s gaze swept over Han Ruyan, the thousand-hand centipede, and the annual ring worm. These beings at the Crossing Realm Level gave Su Jie new ideas on becoming immortal.
