# Chapter 1890: Qiankun Jade
"Brother Yun Che, where do you plan to place this array eye?"
Facing Shui Meiyin's question, Yun Che thought for a long while, then said, "Let's put it here at the Xiao Sect, right in this courtyard."
Although the Huan Yao Yun Family was his place of origin, he still harbored an irreplaceable special attachment to the Xiao Sect of Liu Yun City. This was not only where he grew up, but also the turning point of his fate, and the place where he met Mo Li.
"Array eye?" Yun Wuxin cast a questioning glance at her father.
"It's the array eye of a dimensional teleportation formation." Yun Che smiled as he explained for his daughter: "The other array eye of this teleportation formation is in Di Yun City, far away in the divine realm. It's your father's imperial city in the divine realm. Once it's built, we can travel back and forth anytime."
Yun Wuxin couldn't help but part her lips slightly, clearly quite shocked.
Yun Che had told her that the laws of space in the divine realm were far superior to those of the lower realms. Destruction and travel were both far more difficult.
In Yun Che's description, the dimensional great formation connecting the Zhou Tian God Realm and the edge of Chaos was built by the combined power of multiple king realms, the most massive spatial project in the history of the divine realm.
And this spatial profound formation before her eyes, connecting the lower realm and the divine realm, was without a doubt an existence so astonishing that it exceeded her current understanding.
"One can go directly to father's imperial city in the divine realm..." Yun Wuxin's bright eyes sparkled: "Such a spatial profound formation, even at the level of the divine realm, should be quite remarkable, right?"
"Of course." Yun Che said, "Not to mention the resources it requires, to complete such a spatial profound formation in such a short time, only Aunt Meiyin in this world can do it."
"Aunt Meiyin is really amazing." Yun Wuxin said sincerely.
"Hehe!"
Shui Meiyin lightly brushed her jade-like fingers, the Cosmic Thorn tracing a scarlet imprint at her fingertips: "Then I'll start now. The space here is too fragile. Before building the array eye, I need to solidify the surrounding space first. To complete everything, it should take about ten days."
"Oh, right!"
Shui Meiyin suddenly remembered something. She flipped her palm, and in her fair, snow-white hand appeared three shimmering scarlet jades: "Brother Yun Che, these are for you!"
That special scarlet divine radiance was undoubtedly the space divine power imbued within the Cosmic Thorn.
Yun Che reached out and took them. With a light release of his profound energy, he immediately understood how to use them. He raised his eyes in surprise: "Did you make these using the Cosmic Thorn?"
"Mm!" Shui Meiyin nodded, her voice crisp: "The Cosmic Thorn nowadays can no longer reproduce its former power, so Phantom Light Stones can never be reproduced either."
"These three [Qiankun Jades] were made by me using some of the divine power the Cosmic Thorn has recovered over these past few months. When activated with profound energy, they can quickly complete ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation. Although they can't achieve instantaneous teleportation without leaving any spatial traces like Phantom Light Stones, they do have an advantage over Phantom Light Stones."
Shui Meiyin's brows curved: "They perform fixed-point teleportation, unlike Phantom Light Stones which teleport to unknown spaces. The teleportation can be completed in at most two breaths, and the spatial traces left behind are extremely minute—definitely superior to all current spatial powers except for Phantom Light Stones, and nearly impossible to track."
"Fixed-point teleportation?" Yun Che immediately thought of something: "Could it be... Di Yun City!"
"Of course!" Shui Meiyin said with a beaming smile: "As long as you crush it, no matter where you are, [even in the Tai Chu Divine Realm], you can teleport directly back to Di Yun City."
A spatial teleportation that could cross the divine realm and the Tai Chu Divine Realm—even before the Cosmic Thorn appeared, the Void Cauldron, hailed as the most powerful spatial profound artifact of the era, could not achieve this.
Yun Che's fingers tightened slightly. If Yun Wuxin hadn't been beside him, he would have really wanted to pounce on Shui Meiyin and kiss her hard for a good while.
As the Yun Emperor, nothing in the world could threaten him anymore. But that absolutely didn't mean he didn't need these [Qiankun Jades].
With these Qiankun Jades, his family and loved ones, who were already protected to the extreme and beyond the reach of any threat, would undoubtedly gain another life-saving talisman.
Thus, even if that possibility was so minuscule it didn't even count as a speck of dust, an accident could still be safely avoided.
Shui Meiyin understood Yun Che's concerns best. So she spared no expense in consuming the Cosmic Thorn's already very slowly recovering power to create three space divine stones she named [Qiankun Jades]. Although they would almost never be used, they were enough to completely erase the lingering fear still remaining in Yun Che's heart.
"However, there are only three. Brother Yun Che will have to decide for himself who to give them to."
Her watery eyes gave Yun Che a mischievous blink. Shui Meiyin twisted her slender waist, and the Cosmic Thorn in her hand released a faint scarlet divine radiance, enveloping the space of the surrounding twenty-mile area.
"Wuxin, keep this on you."
Yun Che directly placed one of the Qiankun Jades into Yun Wuxin's hand, his expression solemn as he instructed: "Don't put it in a spatial artifact. Carry it close to your body. If you encounter danger, simply activate it with profound energy, and it will teleport you directly to Di Yun City."
"Alright, I understand." Although she felt in her heart that her father's protection was already thorough and strict to the point of excess, she didn't say anything more. She obediently took it, admired the unique divine radiance of the divine stone in her hand for a moment, then carefully placed it into the sash at her waist.
"As for the other two, who does father plan to give them to?" Yun Wuxin's jade-like face showed the same expression as Shui Meiyin's just now, but her tone was serious: "Selfishly speaking, my mother should have one, and Master should have one, but then..."
"Aunt Cang Yue and Aunt Ling'er are the gentlest; they definitely wouldn't argue, but they would surely be disappointed inside."
"Aunt Caizhi might seem the least concerned on the surface, but she's actually the most particular about it."
"Aunt Lingxi grew up with father. Everyone knows you two are the closest. If you don't give one to Aunt Lingxi, even I would think it's too much."
"Aunt Caizhi already seems to be in a bad mood, so she definitely can't be angered further."
"And these three Qiankun Jades were painstakingly made by Aunt Meiyin. She gave them all to Father without keeping one for herself. Deep down, she must be longing for Father to personally put one back on her..."
"And..."
"Enough, enough! Stop talking, stop talking." Yun Che's head started to ache, and the two Qiankun Jades in his palm suddenly felt exceptionally hot.
Yun Wuxin clasped her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly. The girl who was usually so aloof and proud that others dared not look directly at her now showed a charmingly childish posture: "If Father finds it troubling, I actually have a good idea?"
"...Are you sure it's a good idea?" Looking at the pleasingly beautiful youthful face, Yun Che looked skeptical.
Yun Wuxin seemed to speak half-jokingly, half-seriously: "It's simple. Sooner or later, give me a younger brother or sister, and that will solve everything perfectly. Hehe."
Yun Che actually took these words to heart. He thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Sounds not bad."
His gaze sharpened, his expression becoming unusually serious: "In that case, tonight, help me trick your mother into coming! She's been angry since last time and still hasn't calmed down. It's been a full seven days and nine hours since she last let me touch her."
"And you have the nerve to say that!" Yun Wuxin rolled her beautiful eyes at her father, speaking with exasperation: "If you hadn't bullied my little aunt so badly, how could my mother not be angry! If it weren't
(this chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
for my mother's soft heart, I... I would have joined my mother in ignoring you, hmph!"
"No! It's between me and Yueli..."
"Explaining to an angry woman is useless, and explaining to me is even more useless." Yun Wuxin secretly giggled, then immediately put on a straight face: "Besides! It's obviously your fault—so many women, so many years, and you still haven't given me a younger brother or sister, and you still want to blame my mother! These days when my mother has been ignoring you, which day haven't you... hmph!"
"Pfft!"
A young girl's laughter came from below, making Yun Che, who was already embarrassed, appear even more awkward.
Yun Wuxin then sensed someone approaching. Afraid of really hurting her father's dignity, she quickly said: "Aunt Ling'er, I... I was just joking with Father."
"I know." Su Linger said with a beaming smile as she walked over: "Wuxin, go play with Yongning for a while. I have some im~por~tant things to discuss with your father."
"Alright!" Yun Wuxin quickly responded, then without daring to look at her father's expression, fled away.
"It seems this problem is indeed quite serious—even your precious daughter is concerned about it." Standing beside Yun Che, Su Linger teased.
"Hmph!" Yun Che snorted through his nose, crossed his arms, and looked completely unconcerned: "Dragon gods rarely have offspring. My situation is obviously influenced by the Dragon God bloodline. But that's fine. If, tens of thousands of years from now, like those divine emperors and realm kings of the divine realm who have tens of thousands of descendants, that would be more troublesome."
Thinking of that scene, he actually did feel a bit of a headache.
"Yes, yes. Whatever husband says must be right." Su Linger's beautiful eyes curved slightly as she smiled: "As for Wuxin, although she says she wants a younger brother or sister, if it actually happened, she might actually be a little jealous, especially worried that your favoritism towards her would be divided."
"Unnecessary worry." Yun Che couldn't help but smile. He said, "Linger, what's this important matter you mentioned?"
"Husband, take a guess." Su Linger blinked her beautiful eyes.
Yun Che looked thoughtful, but after thinking for a long time, he tentatively said: "Could it be... something happened between Caizhi and Caizhi?"
"Not at all! They get along exceptionally well." Su Linger stepped forward, her pink lips almost touching Yun Che's cheek, and her voice dropped deliberately low: "As for what can be called important, of course it's only about you and Sister Lingxi."
Yun Che was startled, then said with barely contained excitement: "Could it be... you've found the reason!?"
"Not yet." Su Linger said gently but seriously: "But I told Master about your inexplicable... going limp... in front of Sister Lingxi. That venerable elder..."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem!" Yun Che quickly interrupted: "Change the wording, change the wording... What!? You told Master!?"
Limp—a man's most unbearable hidden affliction... not even the Divine Emperor of the divine realm was exempt.
"Husband need not worry. I told Master it was 'another woman's husband'."
"..." Yun Che raised his hand to his forehead: "You think he's stupid?"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter." Yun Che's current appearance made Su Linger unable to suppress a light laugh. She comforted him: "And you really don't need to care so much. My husband is the best, most powerful, most perfect, most vi~rile man in this world. All of us sisters know this very clearly... except for Sister Lingxi."
"~!@#$%^..." Yun Che groaned inwardly: Why did you have to add that last sentence!
"So... what did Master say?" Yun Che forced himself to stay calm... How would he ever visit Yun Gu again!
"Master's judgment was exactly the same as mine back then." Su Linger said: "If the body is healthy and there's no issue with other women, then there's only one possibility: it's caused by the mind."
"Those years, I always thought it was because Sister Lingxi was once 'Little Aunt', with a blood relationship that you had believed to be true for fifteen years, thus causing this spiritual obstacle."
"But before you left back then, you used the Life Divine Water to elevate our cultivation to the Divine Origin Realm. Over these years, as I slowly attuned to and adapted my divine body and profound power, I came to realize that with your strength, this kind of mental influence, which only appears in mortals, simply cannot exist in your body."
"..." Yun Che actually understood this point long ago. The strength of a divine body far surpasses any psychological negative impact that could cause such an effect.
"Those years you were gone, I was anxious every day and had no mind to think about this matter. But after you returned, the 'symptoms' still existed. I've been trying very hard to investigate over these past few months, but I still can't find the cause, so I had no choice but to... consult Master."
Five years without returning, Yun Che had undergone a complete transformation, reborn anew, unifying the Northern Domain, trampling the Four Realms, tearing apart the Dragon Emperor, and becoming the dominant Emperor... the undeniable number one person under heaven, the first in history since the Age of the Gods.
Upon his return, he had been with Su Linger, Cang Yue, Chu Yuechan, Xiao Yaohou, Feng Xue'er... with his Dragon blood and divine body, even fighting for seven days and seven nights straight, his blood still burned like fire!
But once he pounced on Xiao Lingxi...
He would instantly wither!
Exactly the same as before, no change whatsoever!
And he himself was a divine physician. Especially after cultivating the Life Miracle, his understanding of the medical arts had far surpassed Yun Gu.
In fact, it could no longer be called the medical arts—it was the true essence of life.
He knew even better that his body was healthy and it was definitely not a mental issue... And it was precisely because of this that he found it even more inexplicable and strange.
This wasn't a symptom of illness, but more like... a curse that bound him invisibly.
But in this world, where even the Heavenly Dao feared him and even the Dragon Emperor was crushed by him, what power could suppress or bind him?
Even if, by a million steps back, such power existed... how could it be manifested in this area!
"If there's no mental cause and the body is healthy, Master also says he finds it hard to understand. He asked me to bring the 'patient' to see him so he could observe personally. So..."
"So, this important matter you mentioned is for me to go see Master with you?" Yun Che said in a helpless tone.
Su Linger lightly stuck out her pink tongue, grabbed Yun Che's wrist with both hands, and shook it as she said: "Husband, I understand the obstacle in your heart, but it's Master Yun Gu. You know there's no illness in the world he can't cure."
"You've always cared deeply about this matter in your heart, and Sister Lingxi has always been sad about it too. I really can't think of any other way. So, please come with me to see Master. He will definitely have a solution."
"No." Yun Che didn't hesitate at all: "Linger, don't think about this matter anymore from now on."
Her shaking hands stopped, and Su Linger said with a bit of grievance and timidity: "Are you really that concerned about others knowing?"
"It's not because of that." Yun Che instead held Su Linger's small hand: "Master can't solve it either. But don't worry, one day, I will find the reason myself."
"Also, when you talk to Lingxi about this in the future, just say it's always been an unresolved psychological obstacle on my part. Don't let her wonder if it might be her fault."
Xiao Lingxi's strangeness went far beyond making him go limp instantly when he got close. Compared to that, another matter was tens of millions of times stranger... the fact that she could directly interpret the Heaven-Defying World Scripture written in Tai Chu Divine Script.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Wait... the Heaven-Defying World Scripture!
The last part of the Heaven-Defying World Scripture that Jie Tian Mo Di had left with Shui Meiyin and that Shui Meiyin had then given to him—he hadn't yet given it to Xiao Lingxi to interpret.
He was already invincible under heaven. The last Heaven-Defying World Scripture was relatively less important. After returning, his mind and heart had no leisure to think of other matters. Even when it occasionally came to mind, he didn't have a strong desire. But now that he thought of it, there was some inexplicable agitation in his heart.
Seeing Yun Che's calm and resolute expression, Su Linger didn't insist further: "Alright, alright. I'm just afraid Master will go on about 'concealing illness and refusing treatment' and such... hmm."
"Oh, right," Su Linger suddenly asked, "That Yun Kong you brought back—what exactly is his identity? A person whose profound power is completely wasted and has no memory, yet you insist on making him so mysterious. It only makes people more curious."
"A sinner who deserves ten thousand deaths but cannot be executed." Yun Che said: "No need to care about his existence. The past matters even less."
Caizhi didn't object to Yun Che's way of handling Xing Juekong. But there was no doubt she didn't want others to know he was her biological father.
Whether or not she would occasionally go see him in the future was unknown.
"I see." Su Linger seemed thoughtful, but didn't press further.
"By the way, he hasn't asked Master to restore his lost memories, has he?" Yun Che asked.
"No." Su Linger shook her head: "On the contrary, Master was kind-hearted and wanted to examine his cranial meridians to restore his memory, but he refused."
"He said that during this time following Master, healing the injured and saving people, every time he witnessed a patient returning from the brink of death, the relit light of life seemed to bloom beneath his own ten fingers, brilliant as if purifying the soul. It was a joy and satisfaction beyond words."
"And the 'person who brought him here' said he was an unforgivable sinner in the past. The longer he stayed by Master's side, the more he rejected his former self, the more he feared his past. He was very determined not to let Master try to restore his memory."
"I see." Yun Che's brows twitched, his emotions momentarily complex.
He had wanted more to punish Xing Juekong, but now... it seemed instead like he had saved him.
...............
Shui Meiyin was reshaping the space of the Xiao Sect area with the power of the Cosmic Thorn, but those inside didn't clearly perceive it.
Yun Che arrived at Xiao Lingxi's courtyard. She was sitting quietly with both hands supporting her delicate cheeks, in front of a grape trellis she had planted herself. A green dress outlined her sloping shoulders and slender waist like constraint. Her tranquil, elegant face seemed as though it could never be stained by the filth of the mundane world.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Xiao Lingxi turned her cheek and smiled brightly: "Xiao Che, you're here. Why aren't you accompanying Wuxin at this hour?"
"I chased her away. She's already grown so big, yet she's still clingy like a little pest all day." Yun Che said as he came to Xiao Lingxi's side.
"Pfft." Xiao Lingxi laughed lightly: "Talking so fiercely now. Just wait until Wuxin gets married someday—let's see if you can keep a straight face."
Sitting beside Xiao Lingxi, Yun Che's arms naturally wrapped around her waist: "You seem to have been daydreaming. Is something on your mind?"
Xiao Lingxi first shook her head, then lowered her head slightly and said: "I saw Meiyin and Caizhi these past few days. The divine maidens of the divine realm... are indeed very different. And there's a sister named 'Mu Xuanyin' I haven't met yet. I heard she... she is very dignified, and was once Xiao Che's Master. Meiyin even said that even Xiao Che is in awe of her and listens to her the most."
"Uh..." Yun Che couldn't deny it.
"So, I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid that when I meet her, I might lose composure and leave a bad impression. These past two days, I've been thinking about what... what demeanor I should have when meeting her, and what words I should say."
Her nervousness and anxiety seeped out between every syllable.
"Haha, don't think about all that. She's not as scary as you imagine."
Yun Che held Xiao Lingxi's jade hand. He was smiling, but his heart was full of pity.
Cang Yue was the Empress of Cang Feng, Feng Xue'er was the Phoenix Divine Maiden, Huan Caizhi was the Little Demon Empress ruling over the Huan Yao realm, Su Linger was the heiress of the Divine Physician, respected by all, Chu Yuechan was the Ice Cloud Palace Master, and she had Yun Wuxin as her daughter...
Let alone those in the divine realm: Chi Wuyue, Qianye Ying'er, Shui Meiyin, Caizhi, Mu Xuanyin.
Only she had always been ordinary.
Setting aside birth, power, and status, her delicate beauty paled in comparison to Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Empress. Standing before Qianye Ying'er and Chi Wuyue, she was almost eclipsed into obscurity.
She couldn't help but feel gloomy and inferior in her heart. Looking at the women around Yun Che, she sometimes felt sad and humbly thought that her own plainness seemed unworthy, that she shouldn't be among them.
And these feelings, she never wanted to show in front of Yun Che, for fear of worrying him.
"As for Xuanyin, her exterior is indeed cold and frightening. But actually..." He lowered his voice, his lips close, with a wicked smile: "Lingxi, have you ever heard the phrase 'cold on the outside, wild on the inside'?"
The warm breath at her ear made Xiao Lingxi's heartbeat quicken involuntarily. She said hesitantly: "Is Xiao Che saying... that this sister named Mu Xuanyin... is that kind of person?"
"Of course!" Yun Che's expression was firm, utterly certain: "She acts haughty in front of others, as if she could freeze people into ice cubes with her eyes alone. But once in bed... you could add ten Xue'ers and nine Caizhis together, and they still couldn't match her."
"..." Xiao Lingxi's beautiful eyes and lips widened at the same time.
"Let me tell you another secret." Yun Che continued: "Do you know how Xuanyin and I broke through from master and disciple to that line? Actually, shortly after I became her disciple, we went to a place called the Burial God Fire Prison, and I was... uh, forcefully taken by her."
"Ah!?" Xiao Lingxi gasped.
"And the first time, it went on for two days and two nights." Yun Che let out a short breath: "So, appearances are often fake. The more cold and dignified someone looks, maybe the more... hmph. When you meet her, you don't need to be nervous at all. Maybe she'll be even more nervous than you."
"After all, all my women know that my closest and most important person is my Lingxi."
"I... I understand." Yun Che's words made her involuntarily imagine some strange scenes. Her cheeks felt hot, and she deeply lowered her head.
She could tell there was a clear element of exaggeration in Yun Che's words. But the tension and anxiety she had originally accumulated in her heart had indeed dissipated a lot.
High above, behind a thin cloud, Mu Xuanyin under her Moon-Breaking Shadow Flick quietly watched the two figures leaning against each other.
Knowing that Shui Meiyin and Caizhi had also come here, she finally couldn't hold back and arrived secretly, intending to give Yun Che a little surprise.
But obviously, if she showed up now, the surprise would turn into a shock.
"Hmph! To coax a woman, he'll say any damn thing."
She muttered coldly, then neither appeared nor moved away, just quietly watched below, maintaining a distance that would just barely avoid being detected by Yun Che.
