Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu-Chapter 1204: Departure at 1182_1

"I’m not drunk, I can’t possibly be drunk!" Zhang Yiru shook her head, her voice hazy with intoxication, "My mother is coming back, I dare not get drunk, she would say I’m not keeping to the women’s virtues."

"How old are you and still afraid of your mother?" Chu Qin, shaking his head with a smile.

What Zhang Yiru said next, however, caused Chu Qin’s expression to change.

"Mother, don’t leave me, don’t leave Ru’er!" Zhang Yiru cried out in pain, "Mother, don’t go to the Asura Realm, you won’t be able to come back!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Qin’s heart ached slightly. What he couldn’t bear to see most was any of his women in pain, crying.

Suddenly, Zhang Yiru, as if struck by a great fright, sat up straight from the bed!

"Elder Chu Qin..." Zhang Yiru, looking at Chu Qin with a mix of surprise and joy, asked in a complex tone, "What happened to me?"

"You were drunk and said many things in your sleep." Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Ah, it’s been so many millennia since I’ve been drunk, Elder Chu Qin... I didn’t say anything strange, did I?" Zhang Yiru patted her forehead and raised an eyebrow.

"No!" Chu Qin shook his head, "Just, you mentioned your mother, saying, not to let her go to the Asura Realm. What’s that about?"

Since Zhang Yiru was to be his future wife, Chu Qin naturally wanted to find a way to heal the deepest scars in Zhang Yiru’s heart.

On hearing this, Zhang Yiru showed a sorrowful expression, "Elder Chu Qin, it’s not embarrassing to tell. My mother is from the Profound Clan."

"The Profound Clan, is that the race that competes with your Heavenly Tribe for supremacy?" Chu Qin’s brows rose slightly.

"Yes!" Zhang Yiru nodded, "Before joining the Lingxiao Myriad Clans, the Heavenly Tribe and the Profound Clan were adversaries. And then my mother fell in love with my father, the young clan leader of the Heavenly Tribe, which was forbidden. Consequently, my mother was expelled from the Profound Clan and was cruelly banished to the Asura Realm!"

"By the time my father rushed over, my mother had already been... by the creatures of the Asura Realm," Zhang Yiru said, covering her face and weeping bitterly.

"Later, the Heavenly Tribe and the Profound Clan, for the greater good, put aside their grievances and joined the Lingxiao Myriad Clans! But even then, there was no harmony between the two clans, and they continued to skirmish, both openly and secretly. Neither my father nor I will forget what the Profound Clan did to my mother!"

"No wonder you are determined to get the Chaos Dao Fruit!" Chu Qin said, suddenly understanding.

"Yes!" Zhang Yiru nodded, "The Heavenly Tribe must not fall behind the Profound Clan!"

"Don’t worry, with me here, the Chaos Dao Body will definitely be yours!" Chu Qin said gently yet resolutely.

"Thank you, Elder Chu Qin!" Zhang Yiru, wiping away her tears, looked up at Chu Qin and tried to smile, "Even if I don’t get the Chaos Dao Fruit, it’s okay!"

"No, you must get it!" Chu Qin shook his head and said, "Yiru, trust me!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yiru nodded vigorously.

She looked at Chu Qin, her eyes reflecting a new, different light.

"Sleep early!" Chu Qin said kindly to Zhang Yiru with a smile, "Get a good night’s sleep, and you can forget all your troubles."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yiru smiled sweetly, lay down as Chu Qin instructed, and quietly fell asleep.

...

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed!

During these seven days, the women in Chu Qin’s life had consumed the miraculous elixirs brought by Zhang Yiru. Coupled with the benefits brought about by Chu Qin’s bloodline enhancement, everyone, except for Qin Sijing, Mei Wu, Qiān Yún, and Muyue, who had not "interacted" with Chu Qin, had all advanced a level, reaching the Pinnacle Immortal King realm!

Luo Ji also made a full recovery.

This day was marked by clear skies and gentle, pleasant breezes.

Chu Qin, Luo Ji, Zhang Yiru, Huorong, and the rest of the women boarded a massive ancient flying ship.

"Chu Qin, Sister Yiru, is that Chaos Ancient Mountain really fun?" Wang Qiu’er asked excitedly.

"You should ask Miss Yiru," Chu Qin said with a faint smile.

"Little sister Qiu’er, the Chaos Ancient Mountain is not a place for fun and games!" Zhang Yiru shook her head, "Firstly, the Chaos Ancient Mountain is filled with all kinds of dangers. Secondly, even Saints find it difficult to extend their Divine Sense within it. Thirdly, there are evil forces like the Asura Realm eying it covetously! Especially the Asura Realm, where each individual is extremely ruthless. Even Holy Beings from our Lingxiao Myriad Clans have been killed by them."

"If the Asura Realm is so vile, why not form an alliance with the Primordial Beast Realm and the Pure Land to eliminate them all!"

"It’s not that simple!" Zhang Yiru replied, "In the Asura Realm, the Asurans receive a strength enhancement. Even if the three great forces join hands, they cannot obliterate the Asura Realm! And outside, the people of the Asura Realm act in secretive and unpredictable ways. Many have infiltrated the Pure Land, Lingxiao Myriad Clans, Primordial Beast Realm, and various independent Saintly forces, making them hard to find!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"It seems that we must be wary of the Asura Realm on this trip," Chu Qin said calmly.

"Yes," Zhang Yiru nodded, "But for the sake of the Chaos Dao Body, the majority of the Lingxiao Myriad Clans will be in motion, and with the Lingxiao Great Celestial Venerable presiding, the Asura Realm, no matter how powerful, wouldn’t dare to confront the Lingxiao Great Celestial Venerable outright!"

"Who exactly is the Lingxiao Great Celestial Venerable?" Poseissi inquired, "I keep hearing about this person."

"The Lingxiao Great Celestial Venerable is one of the earliest Saints to have obtained the Chaos Dao Body. Along with the Pure Land Ranshele Buddha Ancestor, the current ruler of the Primordial Beast Realm—the Dark God, and the Heaven Concealing Hand from the Asura Realm, they are known as the Four Great Saint Kings of the Primordial Wilderness!" Zhang Yiru explained, "They are all beings surpassing the Saints."

It is worth mentioning that the Primordial Azure Dragon is a Primordial Fierce Beast, a mighty being from the Primordial Era that does not partake in ranking!

"Sounds impressive! But does the Lingxiao Great Celestial Venerable really know Chu Qin?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"As for that, I have no idea," Zhang Yiru shook her head, "After all, unless the Great Heavenly Venerate reveals himself, even the Great Leader cannot meet with the Great Heavenly Venerate."

As everyone conversed, they had already entered the transmission array near Ancient Divine Beast City.

Originally, with the powers of Zhang Yiru and Huorong, they could completely bypass the transmission array. But considering it was a time to conserve energy wherever possible, they chose to use it.

Hence, they opted for the transmission array.

Emerging from the transmission array of Ancient Divine Beast City, they were greeted by a sea of clouds.

Looking out, countless warships were arrayed across the Void, as far as the eye could see, all flying flags bearing the Lingxiao insignia.

"Are all these people from the Lingxiao Myriad Clans?" Ning Rongrong couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Yes!" Zhang Yiru nodded her head, "For the Chaos Ancient Mountain, the Lingxiao Myriad Clans have mobilized half of their strength. What you’re seeing now is only one-tenth of our forces. The rest are on standby at other entrances."

"There are many entrances?" Chu Qin asked.

"Yes! When the Chaos Ancient Mountain opens, one can enter from all directions. The Chaos Ancient Mountain is vast and it’s easy to get lost. The locations of the Mystical Lotus Dao Fruits vary as well, so we must split up into several groups." Zhang Yiru explained, "Whenever a group finds a Mystical Lotus Dao Fruit, they will use the Lingxiao Command to summon the others."

"With so many people from just the Lingxiao Myriad Clans, won’t there be conflict?" Hulena wondered.

Huorong shook his head, "At least within the Great Saint Realm of the Primordial Wilderness, the major forces don’t easily start conflicts. Those entering the Chaos Ancient Mountain are too busy treasure hunting to bother fighting. Even if they covet the same treasure, aside from the Mystical Lotus Dao Fruits that require competition, the time spent in conflict could be used to find another treasure instead."
