All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

In the desolate valley on the edge of the primordial wilderness, the energy between heaven and earth was already boiling.

Lin Nannan collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. As she watched the purple-robed man approach step by step, despair welled up in her eyes like a tidal wave.

Four purple figures loomed above her, their greedy gazes undisguised, purple energy surging around them, ready to strike again at any moment.

In the distance, the figures of the major forces of the prehistoric world were clearly visible. Dragon roars shook the sky, Buddha light was warm and pervasive, sword energy and Daoist rhyme intertwined, and countless powerful auras rushed towards the valley, instantly reaching the outer edge of the valley.

Ao Chen, transformed into a purple-gold divine dragon, hovered in mid-air. His golden vertical pupils swept across the scene in the valley. His gaze lingered briefly on Lin Nannan before he keenly caught the familiar mark of the same origin deep in her soul—another compatriot!

Moreover, she was a young girl with a weak aura who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.

His expression hardened slightly, and the dragon aura around him subconsciously intensified. His gaze fell on the four purple-robed men, carrying a hint of scrutiny and vigilance.

The lotus platform of the Chan Sect rested on the clouds. Guang Chengzi stood with his hands behind his back, his sharp gaze surveying the situation in the valley. His brows furrowed slightly: "The dimensional fluctuations have not yet dissipated. These four people are dressed strangely and have an eerie aura. They are definitely not beings from the primordial era. That little girl has a pure aura and does not seem like an evil person."

Chi Jingzi nodded in agreement, "Judging from this, it seems that these four are chasing after that little girl. I wonder what the secret is."

The banners of the Jie Sect fluttered in the wind. Daoist Duobao's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone tinged with amusement: "Whatever their hidden motives, daring to trespass into the primordial realm is a provocation against all the races of the primordial world. If they don't know what's good for them, we can just capture them all and interrogate them to find out the secrets of this outer realm."

Zhao Gongming, standing beside him, nodded slightly, the Dinghai Pearl in his hand faintly glowing, indicating that he was ready to make his move.

On the lotus platform of the Western Sect, Daoist Zhunti's gaze swept over Lin Nannan's figure, a strange glint in his eyes: "This little girl shows signs of dimensional travel, which is somewhat different from the spatial secrets of my Western sect. Those four people are surrounded by an aura of plunder, they are probably plunderers from beyond the realm."

As Amitabha Buddha closed his eyes and chanted sutras, the Buddha's light became increasingly gentle, yet it also quietly formed an invisible barrier that enveloped the outer edge of the valley.

Shen Jianxin mingled among the human cultivators, his gaze fixed on Lin Nannan, his heart pounding wildly.

He could clearly sense that the Earth imprint deep within the little girl's soul was pure and immature, indicating that she had only recently transmigrated and might not have fully adapted to the world she had transmigrated to yet.

At this moment, she was in danger, being hunted by four powerful beings from beyond the realm. If she stood idly by, her only remaining kinsman would likely fall into their clutches, with unimaginable consequences.

He traversed thousands of years of primordial chaos, always concealing his identity, enduring loneliness and forbearance, and had long been accustomed to protecting himself wisely.

But seeing Lin Nannan's desperate eyes and feeling that shared soul aura, his bottom line was completely touched.

He couldn't stand by and watch his compatriots be captured by extraterrestrial raiders, no matter what!

"stop!"

A cold shout came from the human formation. Without hesitation, Shen Jianxin moved slightly, his right hand forming a sword shape, and a cyan flying sword instantly flew out from the scabbard at his waist.

The flying sword was smooth and lustrous, gleaming with a faint blue light. Its blade was engraved with intricate human runes. It was his natal flying sword, forged with a thousand years of painstaking effort, containing all his cultivation and Dao essence.

The flying sword shot out with lightning speed, carrying a sharp sword aura, and slashed straight at the four purple-robed men.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing whistling sound, and even the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was violently stirred up.

Shen Jianxin's goal was clear: to force the purple-robed man to retreat and give Lin Nannan a chance to survive.

The four men in purple robes changed their expressions and subconsciously turned their heads to look. They saw a streak of green light rushing towards them, its sword energy sharp and its power formidable.

They dared not be careless and immediately gathered their energy, preparing for defense.

Just as the flying sword was about to strike them, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of them—it was the remnant of the primordial world's barrier, formed by the dimensional fluctuations caused by Lin Nannan's multiple crossings, intertwined with the spatial laws of the primordial world.

The world fortress has two layers. One layer encloses the primordial world, while the other extends outward into the void. The middle layer serves as a place to stay and isolate people from outside the realm.

The inner side of the barrier is firmly connected to the primordial land, while the outer side is a dark and deep, endless void with no support. Gale-force winds howl, and the void is ethereal. If one is not careful, one will be swept into it and perish both body and soul.

Although this temporary barrier was not sturdy, it was enough to stop Shen Jianxin's attack and became their only barrier between themselves and the endless void.

"clang!"

The crisp sound of impact was deafening as the cyan flying sword slammed into the world barrier, unleashing a dazzling cyan light and golden halo.

The barrier trembled violently, rippling outwards, yet it remained unbroken. The flying sword trembled slightly from the rebounding force, its azure light dimming somewhat, before slowly flying back and landing in Shen Jianxin's hand.

Shen Jianxin gripped the flying sword, his arm slightly numb, and he was secretly surprised.

He hadn't expected this temporary world barrier to be so sturdy, that even his full-force attack couldn't penetrate it.

He looked up at the purple-robed man in the valley, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, but he did not back down at all. His aura surged again, clearly preparing to make another move.

The four men in purple robes looked at the flying sword that flew back, and then at Shen Jianxin, whose expression was cold in the distant formation. Their expressions became extremely solemn.

They had just clearly felt the power of that flying sword. If they had been hit head-on, even if their cultivation was not weak, they would have been seriously injured.

Although this attack was blocked by the world barrier, Shen Jianxin's move had already sent a clear signal—the cultivators of this world do not welcome them.

"Retreat cautiously, stay away from the inner barrier!" the purple-robed leader whispered, his tone carrying an undisguised apprehension.

Without the slightest hesitation, the four retreated several feet, distancing themselves from the inner world barrier—they knew that the outer side of the barrier was endless void, and if the barrier were to break due to the fighting, they, who were on the edge, would be the first to suffer.

At the same time, purple energy surged around him, forming a solid defensive barrier. He kept a watchful eye on Shen Jianxin and the major forces of the prehistoric world, while also keeping an eye on the movements in the void behind him, fearing that he might be drawn into that land of nothingness.

Their ability to survive by plundering resources across countless worlds is not due to overwhelming strength, but rather to extreme caution.

Although Shen Jianxin's attack failed, it was enough to prove that the cultivators in this world possessed considerable strength.

More importantly, just because Shen Jianxin couldn't break the world barrier doesn't mean that others can't either—those powerful beings from the distant primordial era possessed immense auras and were all unfathomable. Any one of them could probably break through the barrier and crush them.

If she were to fight Shen Jianxin to the death right now, it would inevitably attract the attention of those powerful beings from the Primordial Era. At that time, they would not only be unable to capture Lin Nannan, but they might not even be able to save their own lives.

After weighing the pros and cons, the safest option is to retreat cautiously and temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

Outside the valley, powerful figures from various primordial forces stopped to watch, their expressions varied.

A knowing glint flashed in Ao Chen's golden vertical pupils. He could guess Shen Jianxin's thoughts and understand the protective bond between compatriots.

He didn't make a move, but silently observed the changing situation. If the purple-robed man dared to approach Lin Nannan again, he wouldn't mind taking action himself to deal with these four extraterrestrial raiders.

Guang Chengzi stroked his beard, his gaze falling on Shen Jianxin. He nodded slightly: "Although this person is a human cultivator, he has some courage. These four people from beyond the realm have strange auras and are clearly not benevolent. They should be taught a lesson."

Chi Jingzi chimed in, his immortal sword trembling slightly, ready to support Shen Jianxin at any moment.

Daoist Duobao sneered, his tone laced with mockery: "These four clowns from beyond the realm are quite cautious. They were only struck once, yet they retreated in fear, too afraid to advance. It seems they are bullies who prey on the weak. If they dare to be presumptuous again, I will let them taste the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian."

Shen Jianxin gripped his natal flying sword, his gaze icy as he stared at the man in purple robes, his aura tense, ready to strike again at any moment.

He knew that although his attack had temporarily forced the purple-robed man back, it had not fundamentally resolved the crisis. As long as the tracking mark on Lin Nannan remained, the purple-robed man would not give up easily.

Just then, the purple-robed man at the head of the group stepped forward, slowly withdrawing the purple energy around him. His tone became more respectful, and he bowed to the direction of the major powers of the prehistoric world.

He deliberately concealed the greed and ruthlessness in his eyes, pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, it's all a misunderstanding, please forgive me."

His voice, transmitted through energy, clearly reached the ears of every powerful being from the primordial world: "This little girl is no ordinary person, but an evil cultivator from our world. She is born with a strange ability to traverse dimensions, and uses this ability to commit evil throughout the myriad realms, plundering the essence of countless beings. We are here on orders to capture her and bring her back to our original world for legal punishment. We have no intention of trespassing on this land and disturbing you fellow cultivators."

These words were half true and half false. They explained why they were hunting Lin Nannan, while also disguising themselves as executors of justice, attempting to confuse the public and dispel the hostility of the powerful beings of the prehistoric world.

He knew that if they could gain the approval of the powerful beings of the primordial world, even if only temporarily, they would be able to find an opportunity to capture Lin Nannan again.

Lin Nannan collapsed to the ground. Hearing the words of the man in purple robes, she trembled with anger and wanted to retort, but due to exhaustion, she couldn't even utter a sound.

She subconsciously focused her mind, trying to trigger her teleportation ability again to escape this place, but her mind was blank, and she couldn't mobilize even a trace of energy in her body. Her teleportation ability was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.

She was clearly just a middle school student who had just transmigrated, not some evil cultivator at all. These people just wanted to capture her and use her abilities.

Now that she was exhausted and her abilities were sealed, she could only be slaughtered at her mercy. The intense helplessness made the tears in her eyes even more glistening.

Shen Jianxin's eyes turned cold, clearly seeing through the purple-robed man's disguise.

He was about to retort when he saw another purple-robed man behind the leader quietly lower his head and reach into his storage space with his right hand.

His movements were extremely secretive, avoiding the gaze of the powerful beings of the primordial era. Only his fingertips twitched slightly, as if he were touching something.

It was a black jade pendant about the size of a palm, with strange purple patterns engraved on it, radiating a faint energy fluctuation.

This is no ordinary jade pendant, but a beacon token of their organization, containing the organization's primordial energy, specifically used to transmit messages or summon support in times of crisis.

These tokens are extremely precious, each requiring a huge amount of resources to forge, and they are never used lightly unless it is a matter of life and death.

The purple-robed man clearly understood that they were in a dangerous situation, facing powerful figures from various major forces in the prehistoric world. With just the four of them, it was impossible to capture Lin Nannan, and they might even be in danger themselves.

Only by using beacon tokens to send messages to the organization and request support can the situation be turned around.

A cool sensation ran through his fingertips as he gripped the beacon token, his gaze hardening.

Without the slightest hesitation, he focused his mind and quietly channeled the purple energy within his body into the token.

The next second, he suddenly exerted force and crushed the beacon token in his palm.

"Click."

The faint cracking sound was masked by the surrounding energy fluctuations and went almost unnoticed.

The black jade pendant instantly disintegrated, turning into countless tiny fragments, which, accompanied by a faint yet strangely eerie purple energy, quietly merged into the void.

This energy pierced through the barriers of the primordial world and sped toward all the heavens and myriad realms, like a signal conveying their location and the perilous situation.

After doing all this, the purple-robed man quietly raised his head, his face returning to its previous vigilance and calm, as if he hadn't done anything at all.

Only he knew that the beacon had been sent and that the organization's support would arrive in a few hours at most.

At that time, let alone these few prehistoric cultivators, they will have the confidence to venture into the entire prehistoric world.

The purple-robed leader maintained a respectful demeanor, his gaze sweeping among the various forces of the prehistoric world. He slowly said, "Fellow Daoists, we were eager to capture this evil cultivator and inadvertently entered the prehistoric territory. We hope you will grant us your assistance. Once we have brought this evil cultivator back and dealt with him, we will reward you handsomely."

His words seemed respectful, but they concealed a hidden agenda.

He knew that the major powers in the prehistoric world always put their own interests first. As long as they made a good impression and offered generous rewards, they might be able to persuade these powerful figures to give up interfering in this matter.

Even if not, it can buy time and wait for the organization's support.

Outside the valley, the powerful figures from various primordial forces exchanged glances, each with a different expression.

Guang Chengzi frowned slightly, clearly doubting the purple-robed man's words: "An evil cultivator? This woman's aura is pure, without any evil spirit, unlike what you describe as despicable. Since you say she is an evil cultivator, do you have any evidence?"

Daoist Duobao sneered, his tone tinged with disdain: "In my prehistoric land, how dare you outsiders spout such nonsense! Regardless of whether she is an evil cultivator or not, since she has trespassed into my prehistoric land, it is up to my prehistoric land to make the decisions, and it is not your place to deal with her."

Ao Chen, transformed into a purple-gold dragon, slowly spoke, his dragon language majestic and resounding throughout the valley: "This woman possesses a shared aura; she is a friend of my clan. If any of you dare to lay a finger on her, you will be making an enemy of my Purple-Gold Dragon Clan!"

He did not directly reveal Lin Nannan's identity as a time traveler, but referred to her as a "friend," which both protected Lin Nannan and gave the purple-robed man enough deterrence.

Shen Jianxin gripped his natal flying sword, his gaze icy as he stared at the purple-robed man, his tone resolute: "She is definitely not an evil cultivator, nor does her aura suggest one. I believe you all merely wish to capture her; why twist the truth! With me here today, you will not harm her in the slightest!"

The four purple-robed men's expressions changed slightly. They hadn't expected the major powers of the prehistoric world to be so tough. Not only did they not believe their words, but they also stood up to protect Lin Nannan.

The purple-robed leader was inwardly anxious, but he still tried to remain calm, his tone somewhat forceful: "Fellow Daoists, this is an internal matter of our clan. We hope you will not interfere, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

He knew that delaying was useless, so he could only adopt a tough stance and try to scare away the powerful beings of the prehistoric world.

But he knew in his heart that if they really took action, they were no match for the major forces of the prehistoric world. They could only hope that the organization's support would arrive as soon as possible.

Lin Nannan collapsed to the ground, looking at Shen Jianxin and Ao Chen who stood up to defend her. (She didn't know their names, but she wrote them down so everyone would know who they were.) Tears welled up in her eyes.

She was completely exhausted at this moment, and her ability to travel through time was completely unusable. She didn't even have the strength to lift her hand. If these people hadn't stepped forward, she would have already fallen into the hands of the purple-robed man.

In this strange and dangerous world, in a desperate situation where she had no power to resist, the protection of her compatriots and the shelter of powerful strangers became her only solace.

The despair in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a faint glimmer of hope.

The atmosphere in the valley grew increasingly tense. The major powers of the prehistoric world confronted the four purple-robed figures, their auras clashing and creating an invisible sense of oppression.

Shen Jianxin gripped his flying sword, ready to strike at any moment; Ao Chen exuded a fierce dragon aura, his gaze fixed intently on the purple-robed man; the powerful figures from the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Western Sect were also prepared, ready to launch an attack as soon as the purple-robed man dared to make another move.

The four purple-robed figures remained on guard, keeping a watchful eye on the powerful beings from the primordial era while silently praying that the organization's support would arrive as soon as possible.
