Chapter 2006 Kunlun God (1)

After Yun Lintian entrusted Yang Ningchang, Lynn, and Lei Hao to Lan Qinghe's care, he returned to the Kunlun Realm with Lin Yitong and the others.

"The aura here is remarkably pure," Lin Yitong observed, taking in the Kunlun Realm's environment. "This kind of aura should only exist in the past."

Turning to Yun Lintian, she said, "I'll scout the area outside."

With that, she vanished.

Outside the Kunlun Realm, Lin Yitong spread her spiritual sense, reaching out to various nearby star realms. To her surprise, these realms were inhabited, yet she found no trace resembling the Nine Heavens Realm she had once visited.

In simpler terms, she was currently in a completely different location outside the Nine Heavens Realm.

Retracting her sense, she returned to the room.

"You mentioned it took only a few minutes to get here?" Lin Yitong inquired.

"Yes," Yun Lintian replied thoughtfully. "No more than twenty minutes."

"This isn't the Nine Heavens Realm," Lin Yitong declared with certainty.

Yun Lintian's brow furrowed deeply. "Let me find someone to ask."

He exited the room and sought out Big Bamboo.

"Esteemed guest, what can I do for you?" Big Bamboo inquired promptly upon seeing Yun Lintian approach.

Yun Lintian, without immediate response, probed Big Bamboo's mind with his spiritual sense, attempting to access her memories. However, he encountered something unexpected. An invisible barrier seemed to be shielding her mind.

In the room, Lin Yitong was equally surprised to discover the same barrier, unable to breach it.

Pushing his doubts aside, Yun Lintian spoke, "I have some questions."

He placed ten gold coins on the table and continued, "Do you know anything about the Nine Heavens Realm?"

Big Bamboo collected the coins, her expression confused. "The Nine Heavens Realm? Never heard of it."

Unsuccessful, Yun Lintian conceded. After all, Big Bamboo was an ordinary person.

"Are you referring to the outside world?" Big Bamboo continued. "While I haven't heard about the Nine Heavens Realm, I can tell you something about the Heavenly Court."

Yun Lintian, taken aback, hurriedly inquired, "Can you elaborate on that?"

He emphasized his interest by placing a hundred gold coins on the table.

Big Bamboo's eyes brightened. She collected the coins and explained, "Our Kunlun Realm is part of the Heavenly Court. According to Granny Ma, the Kunlun God used to be friends with the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Heavenly Court."

"I see," Yun Lintian acknowledged slowly. "Thank you. This covers the food and accommodation."

He offered Big Bamboo another hundred gold coins and left the teahouse, leaving her stunned.

Yun Lintian swiftly located Granny Ma's residence and approached her house directly.

He knocked on the door and spoke, "Apologies for the inconvenience, Granny Ma. I want to ask you something."

A creak echoed as the wooden door slowly opened, revealing the young boy Yun Lintian had seen earlier on the street.

"Go finish your food at the table," Granny Ma instructed sternly, ushering the boy back.

He obediently returned to his meal, and Granny Ma turned to Yun Lintian with a curious gaze. "What do you want to ask?"

"Do you know the current location of the Kunlun Realm?" Yun Lintian inquired. "Is it within the Nine Heavens Realm?"

"No," Granny Ma studied Yun Lintian with a peculiar expression. "The Nine Heavens Realm? Are you from there? It's a minor region bordering the Heavenly Court."

Yun Lintian's brow furrowed. "So, the Kunlun Realm is located within the Heavenly Court?"

"Indeed," Granny Ma confirmed. "Lost your way?"

"No," Yun Lintian shook his head. "We're newcomers here, a bit confused. Thank you, Granny Ma. Please accept this."

He presented her with a pouch containing a hundred gold coins.

Granny Ma calmly accepted it. "Head north upon leaving the Kunlun Realm, and you'll find the Heavenly Court."

"Understood," Yun Lintian replied, departing.

Granny Ma watched Yun Lintian's retreating figure and muttered to herself, "A peculiar young man indeed."

Shaking her head, she closed the door.

Lin Yitong and the others materialized beside Yun Lintian on the street, having overheard the conversation.

"The Heavenly Court was destroyed long ago. It seems we've truly traveled back in time," Zhang Yu stated with a frown.

"Not necessarily," Lin Yitong countered. "I lean more towards the pocket world theory."

She addressed everyone, "We can test this by returning to Earth and attempting to come back here."

Yun Lintian agreed with a nod. "Let's explore this place first, in case we can't return."

Everyone concurred.

"Let's go," Lin Yitong declared, raising her hand and taking them away.

The first rays of dawn peeked over the jagged spires of the Kunlun Mountains, painting the snow-capped peaks with a soft, rose-gold hue. At the heart of the mountains, nestled within a valley veiled by swirling mist, a scene of vibrant life unfolded.

Thousands of practitioners converged on a vast plaza, clad in robes of varying hues – jade green, fiery orange, and sapphire blue.

Leading the congregation stood Lin Feng, the Kunlun Sect Master. Clad in ceremonial robes of the purest jade, he radiated an air of otherworldly authority. His eyes burned with a piercing vigor, scanning the assembled mass.

Behind him stood a massive building with the Kunlun Sect symbol.

The assembled practitioners buzzed with nervous anticipation. Some, young and newly initiated, wore expressions of wide-

eyed wonder, their robes crisp and unblemished. Others, veterans with weather-beaten faces and battle-scarred physiques, exuded a quiet confidence, their auras humming with latent power.

A hush fell over the crowd as Lin Feng cleared his throat. His voice, though aged, boomed with power, echoing through the valley like rolling thunder. "Disciples and guests, we stand before the most sacred sanctum of the Kunlun Sect, the Hall of the Divine Ancestor. It is here we pay homage to the Kunlun God, the founder of our sect and a being whose power shook the very heavens."

A reverent silence descended upon the gathering. Their expressions were solemn with respect.

With a flourish, Lin Feng pushed open the massive obsidian doors, revealing a breathtaking vista within. The hall stretched endlessly into the distance, bathed in an ethereal golden light emanating from a colossal jade statue at the far end. The air crackled with a potent spiritual energy so thick it felt almost tangible.

The jade statue depicted a figure of unparalleled majesty. A man with flowing robes and a crown of swirling galaxies, his face radiating benevolence and wisdom. This was the Kunlun God, a legendary figure whose legacy permeated every corner of the Kunlun Realm...
