All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Emperor Mingluo waved his hand impatiently, his tone full of impatience.

Clearly unwilling to argue with Zi Yuyan any longer: "I'm too lazy to argue with you. Shi Si, come back to the Heavenly Palace with me."

"Your mother, Biquan, misses you very much."

Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed in Shi Si's eyes.

Seeing his mother was a long-held wish of his.

But then he remembered Shen Jianxin and Lin Nannan under the auspicious clouds, and his lips moved.

He tentatively asked, "Could...could I take Jianxin and Nannan with me to the Heavenly Palace?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jianxin and Lin Nannan flashed by beneath the auspicious clouds.

He flew up to the auspicious clouds, stood beside Shi Si, and wore a relieved smile on his face.

She gently shook her head: "You should go back, Shi Si. Don't worry about us."

"Now I have awakened all my memories, and my strength has also recovered somewhat."

"I want to return to the sect, rebuild its power, and prepare for the battle against the Origin Realm."

"And I also want to go back and see if my parents in this life are doing well."

Lin Nannan also reached out her chubby little hand and tugged at Shi Si's clothes.

She said obediently, "Brother Shi Si, you should go see your aunt."

"Nannan should just stay with Brother Jianxin. Nannan will be good and won't cause any trouble for him."

Shi Si looked at Shen Jianxin's determined eyes, and then at the obedient Lin Nannan.

Although she felt reluctant to part with him, she also understood Shen Jianxin's feelings.

She finally nodded slightly: "Okay, then be careful."

"If you encounter danger, send me a message immediately, and I will rush to your side as soon as possible."

Shen Jianxin nodded slightly, his eyes full of certainty: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"I will definitely come to see you once I have settled everything."

Zi Yuyan stood to the side, watching the interaction between the group, her brows furrowed slightly.

He didn't say much, but the purple spiritual light around him continued to linger.

His gaze swept across the void with a cryptic look, as if searching for something.

Clearly, she has not given up searching for her husband.

The Underworld Emperor looked at Shen Jianxin, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"You are a responsible child. Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you."

"However, the power of the Origin Realm is immense. You must be careful when acting alone."

Shen Jianxin bowed again and gently took Lin Nannan's small hand.

He turned to look at Su Qingyuan, Wei Yu, and the others, and called out, "Qingyuan, Wei Yu."

"I'll entrust the defense of Earth to you for now. I'll settle things with my sect and family."

"I will return as soon as possible to protect this land with you and fight against the invasion of the Origin Realm."

Su Qingyuan and Wei Yu nodded in unison, their eyes filled with determination: "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Sword Heart."

"We will certainly hold the line and live up to your trust!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jianxin took Lin Nannan's hand, and a white aura flashed around him.

His figure transformed into a blur, slowly disappearing into the horizon, flying towards his sect.

Shen Jianxin's figure completely disappeared into the horizon, and Shi Si stared in the direction he had left.

The reluctance in her eyes gradually faded, and she turned to look at Emperor Mingluo, nodding slightly.

"Father, let's go back to the Heavenly Palace."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Underworld Emperor. He raised his hand and waved it, causing a surge of dark spiritual light around him.

A magnificent black cloud chariot slowly emerged, adorned with dragon patterns and surrounded by celestial aura.

Compared to Zi Yuyan's palanquin, it exuded a more domineering and majestic aura.

"Get in the carriage." He said gently, stepping onto the cloud carriage first.

Shi Si leaped into the air and landed on the cloud carriage.

Zi Yuyan stood there, watching the two figures, her brows slightly furrowed.

A flash of purple light enveloped her, and she quietly boarded her phoenix sedan chair.

Following far behind Yun Nian, it was clear that she was no longer arguing with Ming Luo.

Yet they still did not give up monitoring him, nor did they stop their search for Pei Shaoyu.

The cloud chariot slowly rose into the sky, flying towards the heavenly palace in the heavens.

Auspicious clouds swirled along the way, accompanied by celestial music, but the expression of the Underworld Emperor gradually became solemn.

Having shed its previous gentleness, the imperial aura emanating from it became increasingly restrained.

Shi Si noticed his unusual behavior and, puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's wrong?"

Emperor Mingluo slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Shi Si.

His tone was serious, carrying an unquestionable admonition: "Shi Si, after returning to the Heavenly Palace..."

"No matter who you meet or what happens, you must hide your true strength."

"Under no circumstances should you reveal that you have reached the ninth level within the realm. Only declare yourself a Great Luo Golden Immortal, understand?"

These words exploded in Shi Si's ears like a thunderclap.

He was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Father, why?"

"My strength has greatly increased now. If I were to reveal my ninth-level strength within the realm, it would not only intimidate the ministers of the Heavenly Palace."

"If it can also make the Origin Realm wary, why deliberately hide it?"

He was truly puzzled, for the Underworld Emperor had always hoped for his growth.

Now that he has broken through to the ninth level within the realm, he is only one step away from breaking the shackles of the Origin Realm.

Why should he hide his strength and become a "pseudo-inner realm" cultivator?

Emperor Mingluo sighed softly, a complex and solemn look flashing in his eyes.

His voice lowered slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible apprehension: "You think, within the Heavenly Palace..."

"Is the Origin Realm the only enemy?"

Shi Si frowned, his doubts deepening: "Father, do you mean... there's a traitor within the Heavenly Palace?"

"It's not just an internal traitor." Emperor Mingluo shook his head.

Looking into the depths of the sky, it seems as if one can pierce through the clouds and see the undercurrents surging within the celestial palace.

"The four emperors of the Heavenly Palace appear to be of one mind and one heart, but in reality, each harbors their own thoughts."

"Besides me and Emperor Ziwei, the other two emperors have long been secretly colluding with the Origin Realm."

"It has simply remained deeply hidden and has never been exposed."

Shi Si froze, his eyes filled with shock—he had never imagined this.

The fact that even within the Heavenly Palace, there was an Emperor colluding with the Origin Realm was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

The fight against the Origin Realm was already difficult enough, but now there are undercurrents surging within the Heavenly Palace.

Their situation is even more precarious.

"Why would they collude with the Origin Realm?" Shi Si asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with anger.

"To break through the shackles of the Realm Breaker." Emperor Mingluo's tone was icy, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"They covet the power of the Origin Realm and want to use the will of the Origin Realm to break through their own limitations."

"To reach even higher levels of cultivation, they were willing to betray the Heavenly Palace."

At this point, Emperor Mingluo raised his hand and gently patted Shi Si's shoulder.

His tone softened again, but still carried a serious admonition: "You are now at the ninth level within the realm."

"Once our strength is exposed, it will inevitably arouse the fear and covetousness of those two emperors."

"They will stop at nothing to eliminate you, this major threat—you are the hope for breaking the shackles of the Source Realm."

"It is our Achilles' heel, and we cannot afford any mishaps."

Shi Si finally realized that Emperor Mingluo had asked him to hide his strength.

It wasn't cowardice, but protection, to keep him in the undercurrents of the Heavenly Palace.

They were able to preserve themselves, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the best opportunity to counterattack.

He gripped the black longsword tightly in his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He nodded heavily: "Father, I understand. After returning to the Heavenly Palace..."

"I will definitely conceal my strength and never reveal my ninth-level cultivation within the realm."

"I will certainly live up to your and Mother's expectations."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Mingluo's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Good, as expected of my son, Mingluo."

"Remember, forbearance is not cowardice; lying low is for a better outburst."

"When we find the right opportunity, we will join forces with your mother to completely eliminate the traitors within the Heavenly Palace."

"Break free from the shackles of the Origin Realm once again!"

Just then, a faint purple light suddenly emanated from outside the cloud chariot.

Zi Yuyan's voice drifted slowly through the clouds, carrying a hint of doubt and probing.

"Mingluo, what are you and your son discussing? Why are you being so secretive, refusing to let me hear?"

The Dark Emperor's eyes darkened, and a faint black spiritual light surged around him.

His tone was icy, tinged with impatience: "I'm having some family matters with my son; it's none of your business."

"Zi Yuyan, if you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Shi Si also instantly concealed his aura, completely hiding the pressure of a ninth-level being within the realm.

His body was surrounded by the spiritual light of the ninth level of the Inner Realm, and his expression was calm.

It was as if the conversation had never happened.

Outside the cloud carriage, Zi Yuyan paused for a moment, then let out a cold snort.

There was no further movement, but the purple palanquin continued to follow closely behind the cloud carriage.

Clearly, she did not believe Mingluo's words and continued to secretly monitor the two of them.

Shi Si gazed at the clouds beyond the chariot, his heart filled with vigilance—within the Heavenly Palace, undercurrents were surging.

With a traitor lurking within and the Origin Realm eyeing them covetously, Zi Yuyan's thoughts are difficult to fathom.

This return to the Heavenly Palace is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Unbeknownst to him, in the void, Pei Shaoyu was gazing in the direction where the cloud carriage and phoenix palanquin had departed.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly, "Mingluo, you still chose this path."

"But can hiding our strength really protect Shi Si?"

"Those two emperors' spies have long been spread throughout the Heavenly Palace, and Shi Si's power to break through boundaries is unleashed."

"It seems difficult to completely hide it... Is this life about to plunge us into a new crisis?"

The cloud chariot sped forward, drawing ever closer to the celestial palace on the horizon.

The magnificent and ethereal heavenly palace appeared even more majestic under the glow of the sunset.

But in Shi Si's eyes, this heavenly palace was like a huge cage.

It was filled with traps and dangers, waiting for him.

It will be a game of life and death, a game of destiny.
