Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

"By the way, has the Immortal Realm not been invaded by demons?" Lu Yuguan asked hurriedly.

Jiang Cong immediately jumped out: "Guan'er, you don't know, there's a super ugly guy with big eyes who's been luring monsters, and then that old man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leading a group of little dragons to come to the rescue."

"Wow, it's either machine guns or grenades! The old man is even more ferocious; he blew up the big eyeball with a rocket!"

Lu Yuguan was stunned.

The old man they were talking about was probably Steward Zhao, and Little Dragon was likely an incarnation of Kowloon.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuguan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Lu."

Li Ziming hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Besides that, there's someone else... perhaps you should meet him."

Lu Yuguan asked in bewilderment, "Who?"

"This……"

Just as Li Ziming was about to speak, Jin Xiaoxiao interrupted him nervously, "Hey, don't ask so many questions, you'll know once you see it, I'll take you there!"

"What is this? It's so weird."

Lu Yuguan frowned, but still followed behind Jin Xiaoxiao.

Li Chonglin and his two companions exchanged glances, remaining close to Lu Yuguan.

"They're going too?"

Jin Xiaoxiao pouted in dissatisfaction.

Qi Wei raised an eyebrow: "Is there a problem?"

"I'm afraid you'll start fighting and tear down the entire Taixu Palace." Jin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, as long as there is no danger at Yuguan, we will not act rashly," Zhao Ziming said coldly.

Jin Xiaoxiao muttered, "Why am I worried..."

Seeing this, Lu Yuguan looked at Li Chonglin and the other two and pursed his lips: "It's alright, there are no demons here, there will be no danger."

"Besides, I'm already at the realm of immortals, so there's no problem for me."

Seeing that he was determined, Li Chonglin had no choice but to give up. The three of them stood guard outside the hall and did not go in.

So, Jin Xiaoxiao led Lu Yuguan inside and whispered, "Actually, Ming'er and I were also very surprised. Jiang Cong knew what had happened and almost kicked him out."

"Ok?"

Lu Yuguan frowned.

"Oh dear, I can't talk to you anymore, I can't stand it if you keep going." After saying that, Jin Xiaoxiao opened the inner door of Taixu Palace.

squeak……

The door was gently pushed open.

The light inside the hall was dim, and the man in the trench coat's back looked like a silent mountain ridge.

That is?

Lu Yuguan held his breath.

"Go ahead, I'll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything."

Jin Xiaoxiao gave him a push, but then shrank back and gently closed the door.

The man slowly turned around.

The light from the spiritual pearl in the hall swept across his deep brow bone and high nose bridge, finally settling on his complex and unfathomable eyes.

Lu Yuguan seemed to freeze for a moment.

Zhong Ziwei.

It was him.

Why is it him!?

The Zhong Group, stained with his mother's blood; Zhong Ziwei, who tricked him into marriage in the real world; the man who was full of lies and never honest with him.

Zhong Ziwei looked at him.

Countless suppressed emotions were etched in his eyes.

"Yuguan..."

Zhong Ziwei took a step forward, and Lu Yuguan immediately stepped back, his back slamming against the door panel.

alert.

disgust.

There was also a hint of panic that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

Zhong Ziwei spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "Yu Guan, don't be afraid."

Lu Yuguan twitched the corner of his mouth.

afraid?

With his divine cultivation, what is there to fear?

He just felt disgusted.

I find it absurd.

"How will you be here?"

Lu Yuguan's voice was cold.

Zhong Ziwei stopped and kept a few steps away from him.

"I'll take you back."

"I'll take you, and Jin Xiaoxiao and the others, back to the real world."

"go back?"

Lu Yuguan found it laughable, "Young Master Zhong, it was your Zhong family that caused me to suffer like this, and now you're pretending to be a good person?"

Zhong Ziwei's eyelashes trembled.

"You know it all?"

"Shouldn't I know?"

Lu Yuguan sneered, "You Zhong family probably didn't expect that besides my mother, there's also the Lu family steward guarding the spirit gate."

"If it weren't for Steward Zhao's help, I'm afraid I would be dead already, wouldn't I?"

“I know you hate the Zhong family, and you hate me too,” Zhong Ziwei paused, “but my father is no longer in power, and now I’m the one who calls the shots at the Zhong Corporation.”

Lu Yuguan slowly raised his eyes.

"so what?"

"Does this erase what you've done? And can you bring my mother back to life?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ziwei's face paled even more.

“I can’t change the past,” he said in a hoarse voice, “but I can do my best to make amends and protect your future. This world is not safe, and the threat of the Void Demons has not been eradicated.”

"At least I can control the real world, so you'll be fine."

Lu Yuguan scoffed: "Seeking peace under the wings of your enemy?"

He looked directly into Zhong Ziwei's eyes and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"Then tell me, Zhong Ziwei."

"Why did you do that while I was unconscious? Why did you lie to me and become my partner?"

"You know perfectly well... if I were sober, I would never agree to this."

Zhong Ziwei swayed.

The feigned calm in her eyes finally shattered, revealing a torrent of pain and longing.

outside the window.

The wind chimes on the eaves tinkled softly from afar.

jingle……

jingle……

It's like urging someone to give an answer that's been buried for too long.

"Speechless now, is that it?" Lu Yuguan sneered. "Zhong Ziwei, from beginning to end, you've only been acting out of selfish desires. Do you dare to ask yourself that question?"

"I love you."

"..."

"Yu Guan, I truly love you."

"Stop lying, okay?"

Lu Yuguan looked at him coldly: "Zhong Ziwei, being too pretentious is disgusting."

Zhong Ziwei shook his head: "Still don't believe it?"

"How can you expect me to believe you?" Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth. "Just because we haven't seen each other for so many years, and now you're standing here, grandly telling me about your feelings?"

Zhong Ziwei's eyes darkened, and he lifted his arm under his clothes, revealing countless needle marks and bruises that gleamed brightly in the light.

Lu Yuguan's eyes dimmed, and he fell silent for a moment.

“While you were unconscious, I tried countless methods just to come here to find you,” Zhong Ziwei said. “The technology acquired by the Zhong family cannot support time travel, so I can only conduct research in private.”

"Whether it's physics or metaphysics, I'll try it if it's possible."

After hearing his words, Lu Yuguan felt they were absurd.

"That's all just your side of the story."

"Zhong Ziwei..."

"Your love is too cheap. If it weren't me, who would you choose?"

"Besides, I already have a lover, so please stop bothering me."

Zhong Ziwei slowly spoke: "Who? Is it Li Chonglin, Zhao Ziming, or Qi Wei?"

Lu Yuguan's brain trembled.

"wrong!"

How do you know their names?

“I couldn’t save you in time in the classroom, I had no choice,” Zhong Ziwei couldn’t help but say. “It was your mother who helped me, helped me separate my consciousness so that I could be with you in another way.”

"impossible!"

"You bullshit!"

Lu Yuguan covered his head and squatted on the ground.
