"Me?" Ji Xiaoman pursed her lips. "I'm free recently, so of course I'll follow you. Why? Don't you want me by your side?"
Yun Lintian was speechless.
Ji Xiaoman looked at Yun Wushuang and asked, "I'm curious. How long have you been stuck at the God Ascension Realm? With your talent, you should have broken through to the True God Realm a long time ago."
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He looked at his mother again and discovered her strength was partly sealed by an unknown force.
"Mother, you..." Yun Lintian was about to say something but was interrupted by Ji Xiaoman.
"If I'm not mistaken, the seal inside your body comes from the God of Order," Ji Xiaoman said with a faint smile. She was extremely familiar with the aura of the God of Order. After all, she was personally imprisoned by him.
"The God of Order?" Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. Why would the God of Order seal his mother's power?
"However, this is not the reason you cannot become a True God," Ji Xiaoman said with a meaningful gaze.
Yun Wushuang remained silent for a while and said, "I couldn't break through no matter how hard I tried. Every time I approached the threshold, I felt as if there was a pair of hands firmly holding me back and threatening to erase my existence from the Primal Chaos."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. Through the Eyes of Heaven, he couldn't see anything strange inside her body except for the unknown force that belonged to the God of Order.
"Is that so?" Ji Xiaoman touched her chin and said. "Actually, I might know one or two things about it. And I'm sure Yun Xue is fully aware of it. Perhaps picking you up wasn't a coincidence either."
Yun Wushuang and Yun Lintian looked at her in surprise, waiting for her explanation.
"But I'm not in the position to tell you," Ji Xiaoman smiled faintly. "If I guess correctly, the reason you returned to the Holy Lands is to find out. You know deep down in your heart that your presence will bring disaster to your husband and son. Not because of Yun Xue's punishment, but something beyond that."
"Mother?" Yun Lintian looked at his mother questioningly.
Yun Wushuang sighed and said, "Indeed. I always have this strange feeling in my heart... My life doesn't seem to be my own."
Ji Xiaoman curled her lips and said nothing.
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow. "How did you meet the God of Order, Mother?" he asked.
"I didn't meet him," Yun Wushuang shook her head. "The seal has long been existing in my body since I can remember."
Yun Lintian was even more puzzled. It seemed his mother's true background was beyond his comprehension. Was she related to the Primordial Gods?
Ji Xiaoman looked at him and said, "Compared to her, your background is even more mysterious. I'm curious. Where did you find the divine beast bloodlines? Moreover, how could you manage to refine all of them? Do you know that even the Primordial Gods might not be able to achieve such a feat?"
Yun Wushuang also looked at her son in doubt. When Yun Lintian was born, she was certain that his talent was good but not to this extent. It seemed she had to ask Yun Wuhan carefully when she went back.
Yun Lintian fell silent for a moment and said, "I cannot explain it for the time being."
"I know it will be like this," Ji Xiaoman chuckled. "I have to tell you that all the divine beasts have long ceased to exist. Your showcase of power today will undoubtedly attract all the rats and crows in this place. So, I don't recommend you go back to your little lower realm."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. "What is your suggestion?" he asked.
Ji Xiaoman smiled charmingly. "Stay in the Holy Lands. At least, you have a few helpers here. Of course, your Sister Xiaoman will try her best to protect you. Hehe."
Yun Lintian was already numb to her seductive charms. He looked at his mother and asked, "What do you think, Mother?"
Yun Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "Senior Ji is right. In the Holy Lands, those people will be more restrained. I can't say the same about the outside world."
Yun Lintian lowered his head and pondered. In fact, he wasn't in a hurry to go back as well. He felt the key to go back to his world was here.
He nodded and said, "Alright. We will stay here."
"Good." Ji Xiaoman was happy.
Yun Lintian looked at her and asked, "Who is Tantai Sun?"
"Him? He's just a bastard who doesn't have familial love," Ji Xiaoman smiled disdainfully. "He has everything today because of his elder sister, Tantai Lanling."
"Tantai Lanling?" Yun Lintian repeated the name curiously.
"She's a real deal. The one and only disciple of the God of Order. From what I know, she's the one who presides over the Holy Lands currently. Tantai Sun appeared here, likely on her orders," Ji Xiaoman said with a rare serious expression.
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. It was the second time he'd heard someone had become a true disciple of a Primordial God. The first one was Si Junyi. It seemed this Tantai Lanling was going to be the next God of Order.
"What about the Nine Hells Gate? Who is their leader?" Yun Lintian asked.
"No one knows for sure," Ji Xiaoman answered. "The entire organization consists of several True Gods, and only a few have revealed themselves. Many people have speculated that their leader must be one of the Primordial Gods, but I don't think so. After all, there's no need for the Primordial Gods to create an organization. They can just wave their hands at will, and no one can resist."
Yun Lintian agreed with her statement. Naturally, there was a possibility of a civil war among the Primordial Gods like the one back in his world, but even so, the Primordial God Tribe was
born after the war.
He couldn't find a convincing reason for the Primordial Gods here to create the Nine Hells Gate. Why would they need to go through such a troublesome process when they could do it
themselves?
Yun Lintian looked at Yun Wushuang and said, "Back in the Great Wilderness Realm, I met Qing Shui, the ancestor of the Azure Royal Clan. He told me he was hunted down by a group of True Gods here. I wonder who they are?"
