Chapter 2005 The Kunlun Realm (5)
"That's good, Senior." Yun Lintian had no qualms about Lin Yitong accompanying him. In fact, her presence made things even more convenient.
Just then, Yun Niu walked over with a bright smile on her face. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Yun Lintian.
"You're back, Big Brother Yun." She said happily.
"Niuniu," Yun Lintian greeted her with a smile. "You've gotten stronger again. Looks like you haven't been slacking off lately."
"Of course not! I'm very diligent," Yun Niu retorted playfully.
Her gaze darted curiously towards Yang Ningchang and the others. "Are these your new wives, Big Brother Yun?"
"Yes," Yun Lintian confirmed. "This is Sister Yang, and this is Sister Lynn. This one here is my good brother, Lei Hao. You can call him Brother Hao." He turned to introduce them, "This is Yun Niu. Consider her my sister."
"Hello, Niuniu. May I call you that?" Lynn, ever friendly, spoke first. "You're absolutely adorable."
"Hello, Sister Lynn. You can call me Niuniu or Niu'er," Yun Niu replied, delighted to gain new sisters.
Yun Lintian then addressed Lan Qinghe. "Senior…"
"I understand. Leave them here," Lan Qinghe interjected. "Jin Long and Xian An will take care of them."
"Thank you, Senior. I apologize for always troubling you," Yun Lintian said with embarrassment. It felt like he was treating the place as a training ground.
"It doesn't matter. They might be of assistance later," Lan Qinghe assured him, unfazed.
"Thank you, Senior. We truly appreciate your hospitality," Yang Ningchang, Lynn, and Lei Hao expressed their gratitude with a bow, acknowledging the woman's esteemed position.
Lan Qinghe offered a slight nod before turning to Yun Lintian. "Speaking of which, I've noticed something peculiar. The time flow seems synchronized now."
Yun Lintian's brows furrowed in surprise. "Really?"
"Indeed," Lan Qinghe elaborated. "You've been gone for two months, haven't you? And guess what? Two months have passed here as well."
Yun Lintian's frown deepened. "How could it be?"
Lan Qinghe's gaze fell upon the Tears of Karma in Yun Lintian's hand. "Perhaps this artifact has something to do with it," she mused.
Yun Lintian examined the blue stone again, unable to fathom how his father had acquired it.
"Have you considered the possibility that your father might be the inheritor of the God of Time?" Lin Yitong interjected, raising a thought-provoking question.
Yun Lintian's brow furrowed further. He cast a glance towards the Tower of Fate in the distance. "Let me investigate."
With a flicker, he vanished from the spot, reappearing on the second floor of the Tower of Fate. Lin Yitong and Lan Qinghe materialized beside him shortly after.
The three of them stood before the paintings of the thirteen Primordial Gods, their eyes subconsciously meeting. A singular detail caught their attention – all thirteen paintings were glowing!
"All the inheritors have emerged," Lan Qinghe murmured, a frown etching itself onto her face.
"Even the God of Mortal," Lin Yitong muttered to herself, her voice laced with confusion. "Why weren't they revealed earlier? Why now?"
Yun Lintian stared intently at the paintings, his mind in turmoil. Could his father truly be the inheritor of the God of Time? But wasn't he… gone? What was happening here?
"We need to verify if we've somehow traveled back in time," Lin Yitong suggested. "The sudden appearance of these inheritors doesn't make sense otherwise. Unless, of course, we're no longer in our original timeline."
Yun Lintian agreed. The existence of the Kunlun Realm was the biggest anomaly.
Returning to the pavilion, Yun Lintian summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven. "Let's check the Azure World first," he declared.
"Can we come with you, Boss?" Lei Hao chimed in, eager to see the world Yun Lintian had "transmigrated" to.
"Sure," Yun Lintian replied, glancing at Yang Ningchang and Lynn. "You two are welcome to join us."
He pushed open the gate and stepped through, followed by Lei Hao and the others.
Emerging in the Moon Garden, Yun Lintian immediately noticed a large gathering of Misty Cloud Sect disciples in an open area.
"So this is the world you grew up in, Boss?" Lei Hao observed curiously, struck by the stark environmental contrast between this place and Lan Qinghe's domain.
"Yeah," Yun Lintian confirmed simply.
"I'm going to visit Grandma first, Big Brother Yun," Yun Niu announced.
"Go ahead, I'll be there shortly," Yun Lintian responded.
Without another word, Yun Niu hurried towards a teleportation formation and disappeared.
Tang Suyin spotted Yun Lintian and approached him. "You're back."
"Senior Tang," Yun Lintian greeted her. "What's going on here?"
She gestured towards the disciples. "Preparing for the upcoming conference."
"Conference…" Realization dawned on Yun Lintian. The time flows were indeed synchronized.
"How long will you stay this time?" Tang Suyin inquired.
"We won't be long," Yun Lintian replied.
Smiling, Tang Suyin assured him, "Everything's under control here. There haven't been any problems these past years."
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Tang," Yun Lintian expressed his gratitude.
"It's a collective effort," Tang Suyin disagreed with a shake of her head. "Let me tend to them for now."
"Alright," Yun Lintian agreed, watching her walk away.
"Junior brother, I'll be right back," Nantian Fengyu suddenly declared before disappearing. Presumably, she was heading to the Divine Phoenix Palace.
"Let's find Grandma Xia," Yun Lintian announced, waving his hand to bring everyone to Heavenly Cloud Mountain.
Yun Xia listened intently to Yun Niu's story, a smile gracing her features. Her gaze immediately shifted to Yun Lintian's group upon their arrival.
"Brother," Yun Xia greeted Yun Yi with relief, happy to see him unharmed.
Yun Yi offered a faint smile. "You're living good life here."
"What brings you here?" Yun Xia inquired curiously.
"It's a long story," Yun Lintian began, briefly explaining the situation to her.
Hearing his tale, Yun Xia's brow furrowed deeply. "This is indeed quite strange."
A flicker of thought revealed the image of the woman she met previously, but unfortunately, she couldn't share that information with Yun Lintian because of her instructions.
"Everything started when you activated the stone," Yun Xia elaborated. "The lack of any living beings on your journey further supports this theory. It's likely you were in a pocket space."
"That was also my thought," Yun Yi agreed.
Yun Xia turned to Yun Lintian. "Honestly, you don't need to dwell on it too much. I highly doubt your father would intend to harm you."
"Yes," Yun Lintian murmured in agreement, nodding slowly. "We should head out for now."
"Go then," Yun Xia said with a gentle smile.
