Chapter 716 Hot Potato
Xun Kun nodded and said:

"I came to Yuan Weiyu's territory this time to pick him up."

Yunxi smiled slightly and transmitted her voice:

"Is he the reincarnation of Huo Wan's daughter?"

Xun Kun nodded, pushed the poured spiritual tea in front of Yun Xi, and then switched to telepathy:
"Yes, I gave him a golden light of merit before, which can be considered as indirectly marking the little guy. This time, I made a special trip because I knew his spiritual root had manifested."

Yunxi glanced at the obedient Liao Ziqian, then continued to transmit her voice:

"Xun Kun, as far as I know, you don't seem to have any particular attachment to taking on disciples. This time, you gave up your merits to take this little guy as your disciple just because of the hint you received during your breakthrough. I'm very curious, what's so special about him?"

Xun Kun paused, holding his teacup, and looked up at Yun Xi, saying:
"Ranxi, you are as perceptive as ever. If I don't act first, he might become a backup body for the evil god."

Upon hearing the thunderous roar from Xun Kun, Yun Xi stopped using telepathy and spoke directly:

"you sure?"

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have come here in person.”

Yun Xi clenched her fists instantly, then relaxed them. She waved her sleeve, causing Liao Ziqian to fall unconscious, before speaking:

"Xun Kun, based on the warning you saw during your breakthrough, Liao Ziqian may be the physical body that the evil god arranged for himself in advance. Even if you take him as your disciple, as long as the evil god's body can break through the seal, he will not escape the fate of becoming the evil god's shell."

The part of his body sealed in the Cloud Sea is the heart of the evil god. If he can replace Liao Ziqian's heart without anyone noticing, the evil god will have succeeded, which can be considered another form of return.

Xun Kun put down the spirit tea cup in his hand and said:
“What you said is exactly what I’m worried about, but I can’t leave him in the territory of Weiyu Realm. It’s too close to Yunxiao Sea. Just like you said, if the body of the evil god breaks the seal, the first person he will look for will be Liao Ziqian. At that time, he will be caught off guard and will really become the body of the evil god.”

I took him back to the Demon Realm, at least away from the Cloud Sea. Even if the seal is broken, it will take time to find a suitable body like Liao Ziqian. At least it gave us time to find a solution.

I also considered eliminating Liao Ziqian outright, but his spiritual root is indeed suited for demonic cultivation. If we eliminate him, there might be a second or third Liao Ziqian. By then, we wouldn't be able to find him, making it even more difficult to guard against.”

Xun Kun had considered this matter for a long time before choosing to take him as a disciple and keep him close by so that he could react immediately if anything happened.

Yunxi rubbed her temples. She wondered why Xun Kun wanted to see her. It turned out he had a hot potato to deal with and wanted to discuss a solution with her. She wondered if he had spoken to the old ancestor of the Demon Realm.
However, it seems unlikely at the moment. The newly ascended demonic cultivation worlds are already keeping these big shots busy enough. It's estimated that the Demon Realm will be in chaos for a while.

The tea room fell silent for a moment. The two looked at each other, and finally Yunxi said helplessly:

"Xun Kun, you really know how to cause me trouble. Shouldn't you have discussed this with your ancestor?"

Xun Kun, mimicking Yun Xi's helpless expression, said:

"I am currently the most powerful cultivator in the Kunmo Sect. However, the Kunmo Sect has been merged into the Heavenly Demon Palace, the largest sect in the Demon Realm. It has only been sixty years, which is not enough for the Kunmo Sect to be completely integrated into the Heavenly Demon Palace. There are some things that I cannot say out loud."

Yunxi was speechless. This whole thing felt like Liao Ziqian was going to be ruined by the two of them.

Xun Kun turned his head and looked at Liao Ziqian, who was asleep with his head resting on the armrest of the chair, and said:
"I just received him and only tested his spiritual root. I haven't taught him any cultivation techniques yet. He's too young and his temperament isn't fully developed. I haven't figured out how to teach him yet, so I've decided to take him back to the Demon Realm first, away from the Cloud Sea."

Xun Kun's approach is typically to take things one step at a time, and Yun Xi doesn't have a good solution for the time being either, mainly because it was all too sudden. So, after thinking for a moment, she said:
"Since you haven't decided how to teach him, let's take him back to the Heavenly Demon Palace first."

"This time, another small realm ascended entirely and merged into your Demon Realm. The Demon Realm must be quite lively now. I was just thinking of going to the Demon Realm to take a look, so I'd like to travel with you. Perhaps we can come up with a solution on the way." Xun Kun immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Yunxi rolled her eyes at the man's words, feeling that Xunkun was clearly trying to shift the blame.

Xun Kun coughed lightly and changed the subject:

"If a small world imitates the Weiyu Realm and ascends as a whole, are the other lower realms also like the Weiyu Realm, with their levels dropping artificially? Once they return, the Weiling Realm will be complete, and will its level also increase after it is complete?"

Yunxi nodded after hearing this:

“I had the same guess, and I told my ancestor. Haoran Zhenzun did not refute it, but only said that there might be such a possibility.”

Upon hearing this, Xun Kun picked up his teacup again and said with a smile:

"Ranxi, it feels like ever since we met you, the few of us have been at odds with the evil cultivators. Our smooth breakthroughs along the way are like an invisible hand pushing us forward."

“Yes, I feel the same way. But I think this is Heaven saving itself, just using us as a tool. After all, no one wants to be destroyed, otherwise the evil cultivators wouldn’t have been imprisoned in the ‘Ruins of Nothingness’.”

Xun Kun pursed his lips and nodded, saying:
"You're right, Yun Chen and Han Lian have already gone to the ancient battlefield to guard it. I guess it'll be my turn next time."

Yunxi was somewhat surprised after hearing this and said:

"Huh? Why didn't they send me any message about going to the ancient battlefield?"

"I heard it from the Heavenly Demon Palace disciples who had returned from their reincarnation. They probably thought it was just an ordinary mission, so they didn't tell us specifically."

Furthermore, the four of us are now scattered, each adapting to a new cultivation environment and sect, and we'll also have new companions, which is why they didn't notify us.

Yunxi nodded, tacitly agreeing with Xunkun's explanation, but she still said:

"Going to the ancient battlefield to fight against evil cultivators was indeed a normal mission for the two of them. The ten years they spent in the sealed land were not wasted, and they were not afraid of evil cultivators."

However, there are still areas worth exploring within the ancient battlefield; there might be unexpected gains. I plan to try my luck there. Do you have any thoughts?

"I'll try to join you in the ancient battlefield. Once the rotation missions are complete, we'll team up and explore it together."

Xun Kun readily agreed.

After the two finished their conversation, they prepared to head to the Demon Realm. Yunxi's storage ring vibrated twice, and when she took it out, she saw that it was a message from Hanyang. She casually replied with a message talisman and then woke Liao Ziqian up with a flick of her sleeve.

Liao Ziqian was still a little dazed after opening his eyes, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

Yun Xi said with a smile:

"Ziqian, the meal will be served soon. Eat more, we need to get going afterward."
