Chapter 972 Two Weeks Later
Time quickly passed, and Ling Yun had been in seclusion for a whole week, but he was forced to stop when a notification that he had been expecting appeared.

After Ling Yun informed her about it, Zhou Yu immediately flew the Icarus out of the void and brought them to a nearby realm.
However, Ling Yun forbade everyone from descending, so only the two spirit women accompanied him to hunt beasts in that realm, and Zhou Yu sealed off his hunting area with his void walls.
Since Ling Yun had no intention of holding back and used his complete dragon form to complete the mission, Zhou Yu decided to take action to prevent the residents of that realm from realizing the commotion he was making. After all, a new quest would only appear after the time limit of the previous one had run out, so they didn't need to waste too much time.
Ling Xi and Zhou Yu could naturally understand Ling Yun's impatience, so they helped him by gathering many beasts to his hunting grounds, including the beasts in Heavenly God Realm. After all, his complete dragon form's strength is equivalent to that of beasts in the Emperor God Realm, making it even easier for him to slaughter them.
With their help, Ling Yun didn't take too long to complete the quest, and he finished it before the sun even set.
Listening to her little sister's words, Feng Bing'er could only sigh in her heart speechlessly in reply to Feng Yujie. She was aware of the risk of losing Ling Yun if she continued to delay, but she didn't want to become another man's wife before she got clarity from Feng Tian.
After he had spent quite some time with them, Ling Yun once again entered into seclusion to dual-cultivate with his wives and partners, mainly because he decided to break through to the Venerate Realm before they arrived at the mysterious towers.

Time flies so fast, and five days have passed since Ling Yun entered seclusion for the second time, and the five immortal spirits arrived at the Holy Land of Sword after traveling for almost a month. Superbia then led them to find information about Jian Xian and Yun Liang's residence by asking the residents of that realm, and they found that her residence was the closest, so they hurried to her residence.
Their expressions became confused because she lived in a small and unkempt hut, but they suddenly felt an aura that was almost on par with their emperor, and it forced them to kneel on the ground.
Soon, Jian Xian walked out of her hut and looked at them one by one, but her gaze made it clear that she did not welcome them. "Five immortal spirits, huh? I've never had any problems or relations with the spirit race, so what are you five doing in my residence?"
Before they could answer Jian Xian's question, the old man, Yun Liang, suddenly landed beside them because he had sensed their presence before, so he rushed over to meet them. "Old Xian, I think they are facing a serious problem; otherwise, they wouldn't bother coming here specifically to look for us, so you should retract your aura and listen to their explanation first."
The five immortal spirits felt relieved once Jian Xian retraced her aura, so Superbia immediately stood up and took out the medal that Meng Xianzi had previously given him, and he handed it over to her while explaining the actual situation to them. "All this trouble started because Luxuria sacrificed Invidia for a human man named Ling Yun, so our emperor is now hunting them to the mysterious tower. However, Jing Shen ordered us to capture his wives and families, but that female assassin stopped us, and she asked us to come here to seek protection from you two."
"Ling Yun?" Yun Liang then turned to Jian Xian. "Isn't that the man Little Xue'er talks about often? Every time she talked about him, I could see the enthusiasm in her eyes, and she always considered him to be her greatest rival."
"Yes." Jian Xian nodded while looking at the medal. "Xue'er informed me that Ling Yun was significantly younger than her, having undergone cultivation for less than a year when they initially met. She also told me that his cultivation was still in the Upper Soul Realm when they parted ways, but he was able to keep up with her in sparring before their farewell. However, she never mentioned his relationship with the spirit race, so I was shocked to hear that Luxuria sacrificed one of her kin for him, and that was the most taboo thing in their race."
"I know that Luxuria is the spirit of lust, but she seems to have gone crazy by doing something completely beyond reason." Yun Liang suddenly remembered something. "Aren't the two little girls on their way to the mysterious tower? Apparently, they will be reuniting soon, and Xue'er will be very excited to meet Ling Yun again."
"You're right about that, Old Liang. Ling Yun is Xue'er's target, and she has been training diligently over the past few months to avoid his overtake, so she will undoubtedly be happy about their reunion." Jian Xian then spoke to the five immortal spirits. "Since Meng Xianzi sent you all here, then we will accept you, and you don't need to worry about Jing Shen. I dare to guarantee that he will not have the guts to set foot in this realm, and we will kill him if he dares to do so."
"Thank you."
