"You have so many things to do? We are going to save your mother-in-law, my sister. You don't seem to be in a hurry at all, which means you don't take Mingyue to heart. What's the use of such a man? Mingyue, why don't you leave him? I'll introduce you to some young talents in the Xuanjie?" Yue Zan maliciously made a fuss and tried to sow discord between Shiyou and Mingyue.
"Yue Zan, don't go too far. I respect you as an elder, so I won't argue with you. I didn't expect you to ruin your own sister's marriage and still not change your ways. You even want to destroy Mingyue's feelings for me. Do you think I really dare not beat you?" Ji Shiyou didn't care about anything else, but Mingyue was his reverse scale. Yue Zan's words made him furious. He could destroy heaven and earth, and kill all gods and Buddhas for Mingyue. Yue Zan's actions were challenging his bottom line.
"Uncle, we really need to wait for a moment. There's something important. I forgot. If Ji Shiyou hadn't reminded me, it would have been troublesome. Please wait for us for an hour, and we'll be back soon. Don't worry, I will definitely cure Mom. Also, Uncle, let me tell you, I'm not like Mom. No one can shake the love between Ji Shiyou and me. Uncle, don't forget, even if Mom recovers her vitality, whether she can forgive you is still unknown. Do you want me to stop talking to you like Mom?" Mingyue's words were polite at first, but as she spoke, she sneered. Her hatred for Yue Zan had never disappeared, but she had not shown it out of consideration for family ties. However, Yue Zan had slandered Ji Shiyou's feelings for her and tried to sow discord. So, she had no scruples, because the family ties between Yue Zan and her were insignificant compared to Ji Shiyou. After Mingyue finished speaking, she pulled Ji Shiyou and disappeared, leaving Yue Zan standing alone, dazed. Mingyue was right. Even if his sister recovered her vitality, she would not recognize him as her brother. He was always self-righteous and never considered others' feelings. He always thought his decisions were right, without asking about others' feelings. He was truly wrong. Yue Zan stood there in thought until Mingyue and Ji Shiyou returned. He no longer spoke sarcastically to Ji Shiyou, but instead greeted him with a smile. Ji Shiyou was not a vengeful person, and after all, Yue Zan was Mingyue's uncle. Responding as a junior, the gap between them dissolved. The three of them then prepared to leave the Heavenly Dragon Star of the past world and head to the Xuanjie.
Yue Zan raised his right hand to his chest, with his index finger pointing upwards and the other four fingers retracted. A ray of light flashed at his fingertip, and a jade linglong appeared between his eyebrows, radiating light. In the blink of an eye, a portal three zhang high and one zhang wide appeared in the air. A heavy white jade door was tightly closed, carved with ancient and mysterious patterns. Even the knowledgeable Ji Shiyou found the patterns obscure and difficult to understand, unable to discern their origin. Staring at the patterns for too long would cause dizziness.
"Don't stare at the patterns on the door, or you'll get lost in them and never wake up." Yue Zan saw Ji Shiyou and Mingyue staring at the patterns on the door with unfocused eyes. He snapped his fingers, which sounded like a thunderous roar in their ears. Their minds were instantly shocked, and they withdrew their gaze.
The Gate of Myriad Wonders was indeed mysterious, completely different from the spells covered by the Heavenly Dao. It was not like the Heavenly Dao Disk, which could travel through various worlds and time with a flash of light. It was truly a door. Yue Zan led Mingyue and Ji Shiyou through the door. Inside was a colorful and bizarre tunnel. The three of them stood in the tunnel as if on a conveyor belt, moving forward automatically without moving. The Xuanjie did not belong to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and now it was not just a passage between two worlds. It also involved traversing time, from the past to the future, which required time.
"Uncle, those patterns on the door were very special just now? They seemed to be able to captivate the mind! I only looked at them for a few more glances, and I became immersed in them, as if I saw flowers bloom and fall, tides rise and fall, seasons change, and years pass, and I lost myself involuntarily." The three of them remained silent, the atmosphere somewhat heavy. Ji Shiyou, to ease the tension, took the initiative to start a conversation and asked about the patterns on the spatial-temporal gate.
"Little Ji! Good eyesight." Although Yue Zan's appearance was younger than Ji Shiyou's at this moment, he still called Ji Shiyou "Little Ji" in an old-fashioned manner. "The ancestors who established the Xuanjie back then, although not powerful, were born in chaos and possessed some abilities. They could not be immortal forever, and their lifespans were limited. They didn't want the Xuanjie to be unguarded after they disappeared, so they gathered all their strength and condensed the Gate of Myriad Wonders. Initially, the Gate of Myriad Wonders was just a guardian artifact to guard the Xuanjie. However, before each ancestor fell, they would transform their insights and energy into a pattern and add it to the Gate of Myriad Wonders. There were three thousand six hundred and fifty ancestors who migrated to the Xuanjie from chaos. The combined power of these people was comparable to Pangu who split the heavens and Hongjun who created the world. This gate has three thousand six hundred and fifty patterns. When combined, they are equivalent to the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanjie. These patterns are called Xuanwen, which are the rules of the Xuanjie. Because the ancestors were born in chaos, and the Three Thousand Great Worlds created by the Heavenly Dao were also established on the basis of shattered chaos, the Gate of Myriad Wonders can travel through the Three Thousand Great Worlds. However, people born in the Three Thousand Great Worlds cannot come to the Xuanjie. Although the saints nurtured in chaos can ignore these rules, the Xuanjie is like a drop in the ocean compared to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, like a speck of dust. It is simply not worth the attention of those saints. Perhaps millions of years have passed, and they have already forgotten that chaotic fragment. Therefore, they have never come to the Xuanjie, or perhaps they disdain to come. The Gate of Myriad Wonders is the guardian divine object of the Xuanjie, and also the token of each generation's realm lord. And I am the realm lord of the Xuanjie in this generation, the owner of the Gate of Myriad Wonders." Yue Zan puffed out his chest and said proudly.
As he spoke, a portal appeared in front. A jade gate identical to the one they entered through blocked their path, still covered with obscure Xuanwen. Mingyue and Ji Shiyou quickly averted their gaze to avoid getting lost again.
"We have arrived at the Xuanjie." Yue Zan pushed the door open and led the two of them a step forward. Then, with a wave of his hand, the majestic jade gate transformed back into a crystal-clear jade linglong and shot into his eyebrows with a whoosh.
"This is the Xuanjie? This is the legendary paradise, the world of dreams!" Ji Shiyou was stunned by the Xuanjie before him, his mouth agape. The first feeling Xuanjie gave him was comfort. Then came the feeling of nature. He saw lush greenery everywhere, and the air was intoxicating. In the distance, there were vast flower seas and endless fertile fields. Nearby, green trees and bamboo stood tall, and the grass was as lush as a carpet. Exquisite buildings were dotted among them, blending perfectly with nature, without any trace of artificiality. People in the Xuanjie were in twos and threes in the fields and under the shade of trees, enjoying themselves leisurely.
"Realm Lord!" "The Realm Lord is back!" ... Seeing Yue Zan, some people greeted him affectionately, with sincere smiles on their faces, as if they were seeing family. There was no fear of hierarchy, only genuine closeness from the heart. Some people were busy with their own affairs and ignored Yue Zan, but Yue Zan did not blame them at all. Instead, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Not good, my cultivation!" Ji Shiyou suddenly shouted, startling Mingyue.
