I long to return home!

Years pass.

Many years passed, and Xue Wu's cultivation level recovered to the Golden Core stage. Within a few years, his damaged primordial spirit also began to repair itself.

As his cultivation level recovered to the Golden Core stage, spiritual energy caused Xue Wu's appearance to begin to rejuvenate. Not only that, with the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage, the divine sense of the Nascent Soul stage, and the physical strength of the peak Nascent Soul stage, his back was finally straight, and he could fight against ferocious demonic beasts.

After arriving in the Grassland Empire and witnessing its rise from defeat, Xue Wu and Lei Mengying began hunting high-level magical beasts of the eighth and ninth tiers, each possessing their own territory, to ensure that the cultivators of this star would no longer pose a threat after their departure.

A thunderous roar resounded, and with a devastating strike, the massive body of the ninth-tier magical beast, Sandstone Bear King, was cleaved in two by Lei Mengying.

Outside the cave, Xue Wu used only half his strength to kill all of Xiong Jun's offspring, and then he entered the cave. Just then, Lei Mengying took out the blood-soaked ninth-tier magical beast core of Xiong Jun and walked towards Xue Wu.

"Eat it. The Sandstone Bear King's physique is as strong as that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. After taking it and adjusting your breathing, it won't be difficult for your cultivation to recover to the late-stage Golden Core stage in one fell swoop." Lei Mengying said, not allowing Xue Wu to show even a hint of reluctance towards the bloody beast core on his face, before stuffing it into the other's mouth.

"Cough cough... It's fishy enough." The fishy smell filled his nostrils, and he couldn't help but cough. Xue Wu wiped his mouth, looked up at Lei Mengying who was looking at him expectantly, and said, "Wanwan, can't we wash it clean before we eat it?"

"Oh, I forgot!" Lei Mengying suddenly realized her mistake and gently kissed Xue Wu's lips, which silenced her complaints.

The sweet, lingering kiss instantly masked the taste of blood in my mouth.

The cores of magical beasts are extremely domineering to cultivators. They are generally not consumed directly unless absolutely necessary. If one cannot withstand the domineering spiritual power impact of the core, one's cultivation will be slightly reduced and one will be seriously injured. In severe cases, one's body will explode and one will die!

Most beast cores are used in conjunction with medicinal herbs to refine pills or to forge magical artifacts, but Xue Wu is different. The bloodline of the Void Dragon in his body allows him to not only swallow beast cores without any problems, but also to chew spirit stones like candy without needing to absorb them.

The domineering spiritual energy surged through his meridians, and under Xue Wu's focused breathing, he used this energy to cleanse the remaining wounds large and small within his body.

Three months later, Xue Wu emerged from seclusion. His damaged primordial spirit began to emit a faint glow, and his cultivation level successfully advanced to the late Golden Core stage. His appearance also returned to that of a man in his forties.

"Where do we go next? If we want to go forward, we'll have to go to the Yin Moon Empire?" Lei Mengying helped Xue Wu, who was recuperating, up and skillfully brushed the dust off his clothes.

Upon hearing this, Xue Wu frowned and pondered for a moment before having an idea. He said, "In the southern part of Tianyuan Continent, in the Youluan Land, I once lived for fifteen years. There are many evil cultivators there, and an unusually large number of high-level magical beasts."

"Although the evil cultivators in the south cannot threaten the three great empires at present, they are bound to cause trouble in the future. I think I should kill some of the evil ones here before I leave!"

Lei Mengying would absolutely obey Xue Wu's words, especially when it came to eliminating those who threatened the empire. She was not only the empire's sharpest spear, but also Xue Wu's sword capable of cutting down everything.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed.

They sped along the southern part of the Tianyuan Continent. In this land of demons, burning, killing, and looting were inevitable. Lei Mengying followed Xue Wu, the bandit leader, and became increasingly skilled at robbing, almost seizing all the resources from the evil cultivators.

After successively slaying two ninth-tier magical beasts and one eighth-tier magical beast to obtain their cores to aid Xue Wu's recovery, his primordial spirit began to revive, and his cultivation level soared to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage in an instant. It was only a matter of time before his primordial spirit fully awakened.

The winds and clouds shifted across the heavens and earth, black and white energies surged into the sky and exploded, unleashing waves of spiritual power. In an instant, a colossal youthful avatar appeared between heaven and earth, its divine radiance illuminating this defiled land!

His Dharma body dissipated, transforming into specks of spiritual light that drifted away. Before a sandstone cave, Lei Mengying gazed expectantly and excitedly at the sky, where a white-haired youth appeared like a god descending to earth, dazzling and radiant!

Xue Wu and Lei Mengying finally left this place where evil cultivators gathered and went to their last destination, the Yin Yue Empire.

Within the Yin Yue Empire.

It seems that after Shen Lian became the ruler of Yin Yue, the country was more peaceful and prosperous than under Xue Wu's rule. The open policies attracted many people from the Wuji Grassland to settle here for a long time.

After traveling through many states and meeting many friends, Xue Wu brought Lei Mengying to the Yin Yue Imperial City. Their journey was nearing its end; after nearly a century of trials and tribulations, it was finally coming to a close.

Upon arriving at the city gate, perhaps due to the passage of time, the gate guards did not recognize the man before them as the former king of the Yin Yue Empire. Even if they were told, they probably wouldn't believe it; after all, Xue Wu was excessively young, and compared to Lei Mengying's maturity, knowing they were husband and wife, one might mistake them for siblings.

Fortunately, there were cultivators on the city wall. They had the good fortune to fight alongside this king during their remaining years. They quickly reprimanded the guards and respectfully led Xue Wu and the other man into the city.

It's quiet at night.

Inside the Yinyue Imperial City, a secluded courtyard was brightly lit.

Shen Lian, who had just finished dealing with government affairs, rushed over without resting for a moment. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw three people sitting in front of a jade table full of sumptuous dishes.

"I haven't seen Xue Wu for decades. Please forgive me for not being hospitable enough today." Shen Lian was extremely respectful. Although he was still wearing the dragon robe, he showed no airs towards Xue Wu.

"No need for hospitality. I'm just taking Ying'er on one last trip through this mortal world to see my friends one last time," Xue Wu said with a light laugh, then gestured for Shen Lian to take a seat.

Sitting next to Murong Shuang, after showing her some concern, he followed up by asking, "Does Xue Wu mean he's planning to leave this realm?"

Xue Wu responded, "That's right, I will go to the God Realm to continue my cultivation journey." As he spoke, his gaze fell on Murong Shuang, and seeing that she was still heavily pregnant even after a hundred years, he couldn't help but frown.

Noticing the disappointment in Shen Lian's eyes, Xue Wu asked, "Brother Shen, you probably won't stay in this mortal realm. The realm above the gods is a much larger world where you can find all the answers."

Hearing this, and understanding the implication, Murong Shuang smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Lei Mengying, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, and teased, "Judging from Sister Ying's figure, could it be that you're pregnant too?"

Lei Mengying was startled and looked at her stomach in a bit of a panic. She thought back and realized that although she had done it during the game, she had taken precautions and shouldn't be pregnant.

Upon hearing this, Xue Wu glanced at Lei Mengying's slightly protruding belly, reached out and gave it a satisfying pinch, laughing, "This isn't pregnancy, it's just that you've eaten too much and gotten a little belly."

Upon hearing this, Lei Mengying put down the chicken leg in her mouth and rammed into Xue Wu's stomach like a bull charging.

Amidst laughter, the worry on Shen Lian's face dissipated. He looked up at the bright white moon, lost in thought, "Perhaps..."

The next day.

Xue Wu and Lei Mengying stayed temporarily in the Yin Yue Empire, deciding to return to the Wuji Empire after a while.

On this day, Shen Po from Xue Wu’s residence came to visit in a hurry. It was early in the morning, and Lei Mengying was still fast asleep in bed, while Xue Wu got up early to make breakfast.

"Brother Xue, Brother Xue... I heard from Brother Lian that you've come. Xue Wu, could you teach me a thing or two?"

Xue Wu turned around and saw Shen Po walking over in a hurry. He looked anxious and was almost about to perform a grand salute, so Xue Wu quickly helped him up and asked him what was wrong.

It was only later that they learned that Shen Po was a simpleton who didn't understand love and romance. He had known about Jiang Xiaodao's relationship with him since the last battle, but because he didn't understand love, they hadn't achieved a happy ending yet. Moreover, his lifespan as a Nascent Soul cultivator was already more than halfway over, and he was getting a little anxious.

Knowing everything, Xue Wu adopted a nonchalant expression, tasted the clear soup in the pot, and then took out a cultivation manual from his storage bag at his waist.

Dragon and Phoenix Soaring Skill.

"I'll give you this dual cultivation technique. Take it home and practice it tonight. It will not only solve problems between husband and wife, but also help your cultivation." As he spoke, Xue Wu took out several dual cultivation techniques that he had snatched from evil cultivators from his storage bag. "If that's not enough, I have more. I have all kinds. I'll give them to you even if it hurts."
