The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"That being said, even after countless years, the entire Tianlu region still lacks a complete understanding of the things in the Misty Sea."

Chu Xiu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Since the secret realm of the Zen God Academy is one of the fragments of Mount Sumeru, and Mount Sumeru was in the ancient world, doesn't that mean it's possible to return to the ancient world through that secret realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wujiang sighed and shook his head: "I've tried, but I can't do it."

"Although I don't know how you were able to leave the ancient realm known as the Abandoned Land and come to the Heavenly Continent, it would probably be very difficult for you to go back."

Chu Xiu frowned upon hearing this. Within the Ancient Realm, there were arrays that could teleport qualified citizens of the Ancient Realm out of the Ancient Realm, as well as those extraordinary objects from the Heavenly Continent. These were clearly not originally from the Ancient Realm.

Perhaps it's not that they can't travel from the Heavenly Continent to the Ancient Realm, but rather that even someone with boundless cultivation like Ye Wujiang can't do it.

Since the Ancient Realm is the homeland of the creatures of the Heavenly Continent, there will definitely be people who want to return to their homeland and reminisce about the past.

Now that he is the Lord of the Ancient Realm, in other words, the current Lord of the Three Realms and Four Continents, once this identity is exposed, he will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism.

Seeing Chu Xiu frowning in deep thought, Ye Wujiang understood what was going on. When Chu Xiu looked at him, he made a gesture to close his mouth, indicating that he would definitely keep Chu Xiu's secret.

Although Chu Xiu was skeptical, he didn't show it on his face, but simply nodded solemnly.

Although Miaoyin was puzzled by what she saw, she did not ask. After all, she was still a stranger to Chu Xiu, and since they had secrets that could not be shared, it was better not to ask.

"These are all old stories, let's leave them at that."

Miaoyin slowly rose and looked at the two of them: "I intend to set off for the capital today. Would you two be willing to travel with me?"

Ye Wujiang looked at Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "May I bring one person with me?"

Miaoyin nodded: "Any number of people is fine."

Chu Xiu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Then thank you very much, Venerable One!"

Chu Xiu's plan was to keep An Lan by his side. Her background and the mysteries within her body were great opportunities that he could not give up.

Since I was able to discover the secrets within An Lan's body, surely other great cultivators would be able to as well.

The best course of action is to keep her by your side and use your ability to conceal your presence to help her hide the secrets of heaven.

As for her younger brother and adoptive mother, to put it bluntly, they would be a burden to her.

Chu Xiu asked Miao Yin, "Venerable One, I have several old friends in the city. One is a Zen practitioner who has a conflict with the Zen Temple, and the other two are his relatives who lack the talent for cultivation."

Is there a way to absolve him of the sins of meditation and change the status and current situation of his two relatives?

Miaoyin smiled slightly and said, "Sect Master Ye has already informed me of this matter."

"Since this city is my territory, I naturally have the qualification and power to change the status of my subjects."

"Young Master Chu, you can rest assured. Before you came, I had already given orders to pardon Antu for his crime of being an enemy of the Zen Master of the Zen Temple. He can return to the Zen Temple immediately and choose another good teacher to cultivate under. Of course, you can also choose to take him with you."

“From today onwards, his two relatives will enjoy the same treatment as Zen practitioners within the Demonic Zen Kingdom,”

"As for my rebellious disciple... he shares some blood relation with me, may I...?"

Miaoyin looked at Chu Xiu with a questioning look in her eyes.

Chu Xiu was flattered and quickly said, "To be honest, I have no deep-seated grudges with your disciple. You can decide for yourself, Venerable One."

Miaoyin breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "In that case, thank you very much, Young Master Chu."

After saying this, she frowned slightly, waved her hand, and moved the disciple imprisoned in the city's dungeon to Chu Xiu's front. With a burst of energy, she personally broke her disciple's only remaining leg right in front of Chu Xiu.

The Great Perfection of the Samsara Realm Zen Master turned pale, but dared not utter a sound, collapsing to the ground trembling.

This kid... can actually stand on equal footing with his master, a peerless expert at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm!

how can that be!

How could I have been so blind as to provoke such a powerful figure!

"Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Chu!" Miaoyin shouted angrily.

"Young Master Chu... no, Lord Chu, please forgive me for my grave offense..."

Chu Xiu glanced at him indifferently, "From now on, do not use those dirty tricks to deal with your colleagues and juniors."

"Yes Yes……"

Chu Xiu nodded to Miao Yin, indicating that the matter could be put to rest.

Miaoyin immediately waved her sleeve, sweeping the disciple out the door.

Soon servants rushed over, helped the disciple up, and took him to heal his wounds.

Seeing that everything was finished, Ye Wujiang stood up and said, "You can go back to the restaurant to prepare first. I will come to pick you up with Miaoyin in a while."

"Okay." Chu Xiu nodded, closed his eyes to sense the location of the jade tablet he had left for An Lan's foster mother, and then disappeared from the spot with a thought.

Miaoyin was taken aback: "How does he know my mind-shifting technique?"

"Although I can use this technique without needing to reach the Qiankun Realm, surely it's not something you can learn just by looking at it once?"

Ye Wujiang was equally shocked, and sighed softly, "This child is truly a genius..."

Inside the restaurant, the jade piece in the old woman's arms shattered and vanished without a trace.

Chu Xiu's figure suddenly appeared in the room, startling all three people inside.

Chu Xiu quickly apologized, but inwardly he was quite satisfied with the teleportation technique he had used to imitate Miao Yin.

"Unfortunately, the maximum distance that can be moved at one time is only one kilometer, but it is still a means of escape."

Chu Xiu looked at the three people in the room and told them about the changes in their current situation.

The old woman and Anlan burst into tears of joy, while Antu kept his head down and remained silent.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go back to Zen Temple?" Chu Xiu asked.

Antu nodded.

Chu Xiu said, "As a Zen practitioner, I have no other skills to teach you besides providing you with that sword technique."

"As a citizen of the Demon Zen Kingdom, Zen God Academy is undoubtedly the best place for you."

“Venerable Miaoyin has promised me that the Zen God Academy will forgive you for your desertion. You can also choose another good teacher to cultivate. I believe that the Zen God Academy does not only have the way of cultivating disciples like raising poisonous insects.”

Antu looked at his sister and adoptive mother, thought for a moment, and then nodded heavily in agreement.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, I can never repay your kindness..."

"Actually, there's something that's enough to repay me for everything I've done for you..."

Antu hurriedly asked, "Immortal Master, please speak. I will gladly die for you!"

Chu Xiu glanced at An Lan, who was lying in bed, and said awkwardly, "This matter is related to your sister."

An Lan, whose face was still somewhat pale, quickly said, "My benefactor, please speak plainly. Even if you want An Lan to be your slave, An Lan will not refuse..."

Chu Xiu quickly waved his hand: "I don't need you to be my slave, but you have something I need on you..."

An Lan blushed slightly upon hearing this, while the old woman's eyes lit up with joy. An Tu, puzzled, asked, "What is it that could move someone as sage as the Immortal?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "It's hard to say, so my request is that Miss An Lan stay with me until I get that thing, then I can regain my freedom."

"To be honest, if that thing is exposed, it will make you a target of public criticism."

"Therefore, Miss Anlan, please consider this matter carefully..."

“I do!” An Lan suddenly interrupted Chu Xiu.

Her eyes were resolute as she spoke again, "I do."

Chu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, Mother-in-law and Antu will go to the Zen Temple to cultivate together, which will also make it easier for Antu to take care of you. As for Miss Anlan, she will come with me to the capital. We will set off today."
