154: Longing to go home

In the leisurely days that followed, Yang Lingchen consistently and wholeheartedly accompanied his mother in the Cloud Immortal Pavilion.

Although the mother and son had not seen each other for over a decade, the deep-seated affection stemming from their Bloodline meant there was not even the slightest barrier between them.

Every day, Su Wanyun would prepare many delicious and tempting treats for Yang Lingchen, and she would also ask with deep concern about his colorful growth experiences over the years.

Sometimes, as she listened, her bright eyes would involuntarily moisten, her eye sockets turning red, filled with endless heartache and emotion.

Yang Lingchen had originally intended to introduce Xiao Qingyun and Ouyang Yunmeng to his mother immediately, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided to hold off for now.

He secretly planned to introduce the two women to his mother during the long journey home.

"Mother, let's set off for the Northern Profound Region tomorrow! I've been out for over a year, and Father will surely be very happy to see you."

Having been away from the Northern Profound Region for so long, Yang Lingchen increasingly missed Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan.

Their beautiful figures often appeared in his mind, and his longing surged like a tide.

"Mm, let's head home tomorrow."

A supremely happy smile blossomed on Su Wanyun's face, like the most resplendent flower in spring.

A family reunion was the greatest and most beautiful dream she had held for so many years.

Now that her son was not only grown up but also so outstanding and exceptional, Su Wanyun felt immense gratification, her eyes sparkling with pride and satisfaction.

"Once we return, we will bring Father to live in the Central Domain as well."

Yang Lingchen said with a firm gaze.

After all, the elemental Law of the Central Domain Divine Land was richer and more active, making it more suitable to Cultivate and Breakthrough.

If one stayed in the relatively barren Northern Profound Region for a long time, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for an ordinary person to reach the King Realm.

The next morning, the sunlight gently sprinkled over the earth.

Su Wanyun, accompanied by Yang Lingchen, bid a reluctant farewell to Su Lie and Su Ronger, and then the mother and son hurried toward the Northern Profound Region.

"Mother, I'm taking you to a mysterious place," Yang Lingchen said with great interest.

"What kind of place?" Su Wanyun asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

"To meet your daughter-in-Law," Yang Lingchen said with a beaming smile.

Subsequently, he carefully found a secluded and quiet spot, and with Su Wanyun, he entered the haotian jade space on tiptoe.

"Yang Lingchen, you heartless playboy, are you out flirting with other women again?" As soon as Yang Lingchen and Su Wanyun appeared, Ouyang Yunmeng and Xiao Qingyun walked over with unfriendly, angry expressions.

"Cough, cough... This is my mother, don't talk nonsense!" Yang Lingchen hurriedly explained, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Ah! It's Auntie,"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go tidy up."

Xiao Qingyun hurriedly dashed into the small bamboo building.

"Au... Auntie, I'll go too."

Ouyang Yunmeng said with a blushing face, then rushed into the small bamboo building like a gust of wind to dress up carefully.

"Chener, what is this wonderful place?" Su Wanyun asked with endless curiosity.

"Mother, this is one of my incredibly magical Secret Treasure to Cultivate," Yang Lingchen said earnestly.

Actually, space-type Secret Treasures that could hold people were relatively common in the Divine Realm, but a space-type Secret Treasure like the Vast Heaven Jade, which could not only contain living beings but also assist in Cultivation, was rare indeed—a true treasure of immense rarity.

"Are they both your wives?" Su Wanyun asked with a smile.

"Ye... Yes." Yang Lingchen scratched his head awkwardly and grinned.

"You young people! You still need to show some restraint," Su Wanyun said with a smile.

It was mainly because Xiao Qingyun and Ouyang Yunmeng had been dressed too revealingly just now, their graceful figures barely concealed.

"Oh... Oh." Yang Lingchen nodded like a garlic masher, his face turning bright red.

"Sister Qingyun, are you ready? Let me use the bronze mirror."

"Yunmeng, what do you think of my clothes?"

The two women busied themselves in the small bamboo building for half an hour before coming out timidly.

"Mother, this is Xiao Qingyun, you can just call her Qingyun."

"This is Ouyang Yunmeng, you can just call her Yunmeng." Yang Lingchen introduced them with a face full of joy.

"Qingyun, Yunmeng, it's our first time meeting, and this kid didn't tell me in advance, so I didn't even prepare any gifts for you. Next time we return to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Auntie will definitely make it up to you with a generous gift."

Su Wanyun enthusiastically pulled Xiao Qingyun and Ouyang Yunmeng to chat, leaving Yang Lingchen on the side.

However, he consciously went to prepare a sumptuous meal.

After the meal, everyone's relationship quickly became much closer, and they were no longer as reserved as they had been at the beginning.

Especially Xiao Qingyun, who was only seven or eight years younger than Su Wanyun, so they got along even better, soon chatting like close sisters with constant laughter.

Ouyang Yunmeng was slightly more reserved, as she was only twenty years old and still a shy young girl.

After the meal, Yang Lingchen left the haotian jade space and, filled with high spirits, Sword Flighted toward the Northern Profound Region at lightning speed.

Soon, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Southern Wilderness region, the border area of the Central Domain Divine Land, which was desolate and vast.

To make future returns more convenient and faster, Yang Lingchen flew toward the Cangyun Mountain Range without hesitation.

Deep in the Cangyun Mountain Range, Yang Lingchen used his keen perception to find a highly concealed cave.

He ambitiously planned to set up an exquisite Teleportation Array here. Once he reached the Northern Profound Region, he would set up a connecting Teleportation Array at Heavenly Origin Palace so he could teleport back to the Central Domain Divine Land whenever he wanted.

Yang Lingchen had already painstakingly collected the precious Materials for setting up the space Teleportation Array, and he even possessed a large piece of the most important illusory void stone, which was of superior quality and enough for him to set up several powerful Teleportation Arrays.

After setting up the Teleportation Array, Yang Lingchen left the cave with satisfaction and carefully arranged a powerful defensive illusion array around the perimeter so he wouldn't have to worry about anyone accidentally discovering it.

With everything done, he impatiently Sword Flighted toward the Northern Profound Region again, his figure like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.

With Yang Lingchen's current unfathomable strength, it would normally take at least two or three months to fly across the vast ocean, but by Sword Flighting, he could reach the Northern Profound Region in about a month.

Throughout the journey, Yang Lingchen was anxious to return home, his heart already having flown to the Northern Profound Region.

For over a year, his longing for Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan had grown day by day, especially for Dongfang Yunbing. This gentle and moving woman occupied a very important place in his heart and was also the first woman he had met since his Transmigration; that deep affection was hard for others to understand.

...

In the endless ocean, waves surged and rolled.

At this moment, dozens of imposing mysterious boats were sailing through the wind and waves at high speed toward the Northern Profound Region.

"Protector Mo, at this lightning-fast speed, how much longer until we reach the Northern Profound Region?"

A Demon with a black robe, strange horns on his head, and a ferocious face asked full of anticipation.

"Given the vast distance from our Western Demonic Region to the Northern Profound Region, we should arrive in about half a month."

Mo Jiang said slowly, his expression solemn and unhurried.

"Protector Mo, I heard that human women are exceptionally beautiful and charming. We must enjoy ourselves well when we arrive in the Northern Profound Region."

The Demon said with a lewd expression.

"That is only natural. In the future, under the iron-fisted rule of our Demon Race, humans will merely be weak prey that we keep in captivity," Mo Jiang said sinisterly.

"Hehehehe..." A chilling, strange laugh echoed on the mysterious boat.

...

Central Domain Divine Land.

In front of the Heavenly Emperor Palace Mountain Gate, the atmosphere was tense and swords were drawn.

"Su Lie, your grandson colluded with the Yao Race to steal our Human Race's precious treasure. Considering you are a renowned powerhouse of your generation, as long as you hand over Yang Lingchen, we will withdraw."

Situ Canglan said coldly and sternly, his eyes shining with aggression.

"Absolute nonsense! The heavenly martial divine pearl was obtained by my grandson after enduring great hardships overseas. As for colluding with the Yao Race, that is even more absurd and utterly ridiculous."

Su Lie sneered in rage, his Aura like a towering mountain, unshakable.

"Su Lie, your grandson Yang Lingchen colluded with the Yao Race and brutally murdered my younger brother, Chen Junlong. Today, you must hand him over to our Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and unscrupulous."

Chen Jundong said through gritted teeth, a chilling murderous glint in his eyes.

"Chen Jundong, even your father wouldn't dare speak to me so presumptuously; what do you think you are? Do you believe I can kill you right now?"

A chilling cold light flashed in Su Lie's eyes, as if it could freeze a person instantly.

"Palace Master Su, we don't intend to be enemies with your Heavenly Emperor Palace. We are only looking for Yang Lingchen. As long as you hand him over, we will naturally leave obediently."

At this moment, Dugu Yueya stepped out, looking peaceful but hiding schemes.

"My grandson has already left the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Believe it or not, that is up to you. If you want to start a war, feel free to try and see if my title of 'Blood Butcher' is just for show."

Su Lie's sharp, knife-like gaze swept across the surroundings, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.

After all, when Su Lie was young, he was a famous and fearsome 'Blood Butcher' of the Tianwu Continent. He had killed countless people in his life, and almost no one he targeted had a good ending.

"Why don't we all withdraw for now! I just received reliable information that Yang Lingchen and Su Wanyun left the Heavenly Emperor Palace a few days ago." Shen Gongming stepped out arrogantly at this moment.

"Does Mr. Shen know the specific whereabouts of this brat?" Situ Canglan asked impatiently.

"Although I cannot accurately deduce his specific location now, I can deduce the approximate location of Su Wanyun," Shen Gongming said meaningfully and mysteriously.

"Please enlighten us, Mr. Shen."

At this moment, everyone cast their eager gazes toward Shen Gongming.
