217: Prepare to leave

Mu Wuchen looked at the woman in front of him and slowly began to speak.

"How far is Qianyan Immortal Domain from here?"

Since he wanted to go to Qianyan Immortal Domain, he naturally needed to inquire about its situation.

Luo Shuihan raised her beautiful eyes to look at Mu Wuchen, seemingly deep in thought, then she parted her lips slightly.

"Although Qianyan Immortal Domain is the closest Supreme Realm Immortal Domain to Ancient Domain, there are several barrier walls between these two places, and one must cross several other Immortal Domains. Without guidance from a strong expert familiar with the route, even an Emperor Realm cultivator might not find it within several hundred years."

"As for those below the Emperor Realm, if their luck is bad and they wander around without guidance, they might not even reach Qianyan Immortal Domain before their internal spiritual energy is depleted…"

Hearing Luo Shuihan's explanation, Mu Wuchen nodded slightly.

Between the various Immortal Domains lay endless void space, devoid of spiritual energy, making absorption, replenishment, or cultivation impossible; the journey was entirely one of expenditure without intake.

If the distance between two Immortal Domains was too long and one's own strength was insufficient, it was highly likely that one would be nearly depleted halfway through the journey.

When they came to Ancient Domain, Mu Wuchen traveled personally, and with Xiao Ziyan's guidance, it still took several years.

However, Mu Wuchen estimated that if they wanted to return now, it would probably only take a few months.

After all, the little fox's speed was much faster than his own at that time.

Sensing Mu Wuchen's gaze turn back towards her, Luo Shuihan continued.

"However, I am very familiar with that route. With me leading the way, a few years will be enough."

Hearing her words, Mu Wuchen's expression shifted slightly.

A few years, for a cultivator, was but a flick of the finger.

This time was much less than he had imagined.

Mu Wuchen looked at Luo Shuihan in front of him, quite satisfied with her performance. He gazed at Luo Shuihan and slowly spoke.

"Luo Shuihan, I'm telling you, this place is my world. You can only enter, not leave. Once the divine sense restriction is planted, I will never remove it, and you will never escape. How you behave from now on is up to you…"

"You've only recently broken through, and cultivating here will make it difficult to break through again in a short time. For now, you and Su Meier will stay outside with me."

Luo Shuihan's strength was considerable, and she could play the greatest role outside. Furthermore, Mu Wuchen wanted her to stay by his side, to make her shed her pride and gradually adapt to her identity.

Her arrogance and aloofness could be displayed in front of others, but not in front of him.

Hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Luo Shuihan's body trembled slightly, but she still nodded.

"Yes…"

"Mas… Master…"

...

Outside, in Ancient Domain.

Mu Wuchen looked at the sky beneath his feet, a wave of melancholy washing over him.

He had been here for several decades, and Ancient Domain had undergone earth-shattering changes in a short time since his arrival.

As the situation in Ancient Domain gradually stabilized, he was finally about to leave.

At this moment, those who came to Mu Wuchen's side were the high-ranking officials of Ancient Domain.

Xiao Qian, Nangong Zhan, and a host of other Ancient Domain powerhouses all personally came to see him off. Among the many powerhouses, there was also a White-haired Old Man whom Mu Wuchen had not met before.

The White-haired Old Man's cultivation was at Emperor Realm Eighth Layer. This cultivation was slightly weaker compared to the heads of the other major families. It was precisely because of this that the Yao Family, one of the five great families, chose to live in seclusion to protect themselves, not participating in worldly disputes and focusing solely on the study of alchemy.

However, it was precisely because of the Yao Family's wise decision that they were spared from the war and preserved themselves.

After the Xiao Family unified Ancient Domain, the Yao Family voluntarily submitted, also preserving the status of several great families and becoming the most powerful family after the Xiao Family and Nangong Family.

The Old Man saw Mu Wuchen, took a slight step forward, clasped his fists, and bowed.

"Yao Wuqi of the Yao Family greets Lord Mu."

Mu Wuchen nodded slightly towards the Old Man, returning the greeting.

Just then, the Old Man suddenly stepped forward and handed Mu Wuchen a strange token carved from white jade.

"Lord Mu, I heard from my father that my Yao Family's main branch originally came from Qianyan Immortal Domain. This white jade token is from the main branch. Before my father passed away, he entrusted me to return it to the clan, but this old man will have no opportunity in this life. Do you think you could…"

Hearing the Old Man's words, Mu Wuchen casually took the white jade token, sensed it for a moment, then nodded slightly and spoke indifferently.

"If I have the chance, I will return this item."

Receiving Mu Wuchen's affirmative reply, the White-haired Old Man was filled with gratitude and bowed deeply once more…

"Father, I'm leaving."

On the other side, Southern Palace Yan, clad in soft white armor, waved slightly at Nangong Zhan, then immediately came to Mu Wuchen's side.

Nangong Hao also arrived at this moment. He looked at Southern Palace Yan, his expression slightly complex.

He had now been established as the future head of the Nangong Family, Nangong Zhan's successor, with a boundless future.

Yet, seeing his most outstanding sister, who had always competed with him, about to leave, his heart was filled with a mix of emotions…

Watching his daughter leave, Nangong Zhan, who was beside them, nodded slightly.

Allowing Southern Palace Yan to follow Mu Wuchen would enable her to reach heights far exceeding what she could achieve by remaining in the Nangong Family.

Besides, he probably couldn't keep her even if he wanted to…

On the other side, Xiao Ziyan, dressed in a purple gown, was also bidding farewell to Xiao Qian. They would all leave with Mu Wuchen.

It is worth mentioning that Mu Yuntian chose to remain in Ancient Domain at this time.

He had grown up and no longer wanted to grow up under Mu Wuchen's protection, choosing to venture out on his own.

Mu Wuchen did not stop him, as everyone had their own path, and in Ancient Domain, it was considered his sphere of influence, making it very safe.

Thus, he handed Beichen Shou's puppet to Mu Yuntian to protect his safety.

That puppet's strength was formidable, even surpassing ordinary Emperor Realm Ninth Layer. With him there, virtually no one could harm Mu Yuntian.

Mu Wuchen waved his hand, bringing Xiao Ziyan and Southern Palace Yan into System World.

Then he waved his hand again, and two other graceful figures appeared before him…

One was naturally Su Meier in her human form, and the other was Luo Shuihan.

Upon seeing Luo Shuihan's appearance, Xiao Qian and Nangong Zhan's expressions became slightly tense.

They knew that the woman in the water-blue long dress before them possessed the cultivation of the Supreme Realm!

Mu Wuchen's gaze was fixed on Luo Shuihan, as if he was waiting for something.

Luo Shuihan's body trembled, and she quickly came before Mu Wuchen, lowering her eyes and bowing her head, curtseying gracefully…

"Mas… Master…"

This time, she did not use telepathy, but her original voice.

Everyone present was slightly stunned. Previously, they had always heard Luo Shuihan's voice through her telepathy, which was cold with a hint of condescension.

They had never expected her true voice to be so soft and ethereal…

Luo Shuihan's demeanor and voice at this moment almost overturned their perception of powerful experts!

Was this still that aloof female Supreme Realm expert from before?
