Chapter 1269: Chapter 775: World Origin, Mysterious Jade Block

“Brother, Little Li…”

Arriving outside the courtyard, upon seeing those two familiar figures, Little Yan’s eyes instantly reddened.

But she quickly composed herself, suppressing her emotions, and stared directly at Lu Qing with a cold expression.

At this moment, Ling Shuang’s figure also appeared at the door, showing a surprised expression upon seeing Lu Qing.

However, she stopped upon seeing Little Yan’s stubborn silhouette and remained silent.

Witnessing this scene, Lu Qing’s body stiffened.

“Little Yan!” On the other hand, Little Li suddenly rushed over, “I missed you so much!”

Little Yan caught Little Li, gently stroking its fur until the little creature showed a look of enjoyment.

Only then did she turn to Lu Qing, “So, what’s the reason this time, why did you both disappear without a word again?”

Thinking of the worries over these years, Little Yan’s grievances surged again.

However, she bit her lip and suppressed her emotions.

“This matter is complicated.” Lu Qing sighed, “Let’s go inside first, and then I’ll explain.”

Once inside, under Little Yan’s reproachful gaze, Lu Qing pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Originally, Little Li and I had no choice but to leave; all these years, we’ve been in a dangerous secret realm…”

Lu Qing recounted how the Void Flying Boat happened to undergo an anomaly, transporting him and Little Li to the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.

And how he meticulously laid his plans, cautiously avoiding those powerful entities, and diligently cultivating within the realm.

During his narration, Little Li occasionally interjected with a sentence or two as supplements.

Neither Little Yan nor Ling Shuang could have imagined that Lu Qing and Little Li, carried by the Void Flying Boat, traversed the Endless Void to reach the Returning Ruins Secret Realm on the distant end of the starry sky.

Listening to Lu Qing’s description, as he mentioned the secret realm where even the weakest cultivations were at least at the Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations, and the strongest were even at the Nine Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.

Even though they now saw them return safely, both Little Yan and Ling Shuang couldn’t help but clench their fists nervously.

Especially Little Yan, the initial anger in her heart had already disappeared without a trace.

Only now did she understand that all these years, her brother and Little Li were in such perilous danger.

“Ultimately, I became a disciple under the Gui Xu Taoist, and only upon the early closure of the secret realm, with the help of the Elder Azure Dragon, did I return to my homeland world.”

Lu Qing slowly recounted his experiences in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm over the years, albeit leaving out some details.

Such as some secrets regarding the Immortal Palace, even though he was now a disciple of Gui Xu Taoist, he couldn’t arbitrarily divulge them.

Also, the battle with Mo Tushan and their kin wasn’t described in much detail.

Yet, even so, it still left Little Yan and Ling Shuang listening with breath held and hearts racing.

“So it turns out, Elder, you and Little Li were taken to the secret realm of that Transformation Immortal; no wonder we couldn’t find you or get a response from the Communication Talisman, thankfully you both returned safely.”

Ling Shuang’s face showed a look of lingering fear.

Her realm was still low; she barely had any substantial concept of existences beyond Primordial Spirit.

But just from Lu Qing’s brief depiction, she could already feel how perilous the situations Lu Qing and Little Li were in back then.

Given Lu Qing’s account, even the weakest among those exploring forces in the secret realm were at Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations, realms far beyond his.

Had he not been cautious, navigating carefully to find opportunities, he might not have been able to return now.

Little Yan’s face, too, grew somewhat pale.

Only now did she realize that all these years, her brother and Little Li had been enduring continuously amidst danger.

Thinking of how she had acted unreasonably just now, angered at her brother, she felt deep regret.

Just as Little Yan was contemplating how to apologize to her brother and Little Li.

A hand gently rested on her head, softly ruffling her hair.

“This time it was my fault, for not notifying you sooner, making you worry.”

Listening to her brother’s gentle tone, Little Yan couldn’t hold back anymore.

She leaned her head against her brother’s chest, emotions bursting out as she whimpered, “Brother, I’m sorry, Little Yan didn’t know you…”

“Silly girl, you were simply worried about your brother.” Lu Qing affectionately ruffled his sister’s hair, “Anyway, your brother promises that he won’t leave without reason again.”

After comforting Little Yan for a while, her emotions gradually calmed down.

“So, Elder, now that you’re back, will you go out again?” Ling Shuang asked.

“Naturally, I still have to go out.” Lu Qing smiled.

Hearing this, Little Yan immediately raised her head.

Lu Qing reached out to tap her head gently, “Don’t worry, this time when I go out, I won’t sneak away, I’ll take you along.”

“Really?” Little Yan’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

“Of course it’s true, but not yet; we’ll wait for some time later.”

Lu Qing couldn’t stay too long at home; the homeland world simply didn’t have sufficient resources for his cultivation.

Moreover, even now he still had to constrain his aura, not letting it leak out.

Otherwise, with just a random tremor, he could rend space and quake the earth.

There was no choice; his current power was simply too formidable.

The homeland world is merely a Small World; its spatial strength couldn’t withstand his power.

For him to continue enhancing his cultivation, he must venture to the resource-abundant and powerful Great Worlds or some fabled Holy Lands and forbidden zones.

This inevitably meant he couldn’t linger long in the homeland world.

Of course, despite all this, Lu Qing wasn’t in any rush to leave.
