Xu Lingjun hadn’t rested for a long time.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?

This saying indeed makes a lot of sense...

Obviously, no one is pushing Xu Lingjun from behind, yet unconsciously, he has taken on too much responsibility on his own shoulders.

From initially fighting on the Polar Star Battlefield to now voluntarily residing in the Secret Realm, becoming the first line of defense against the Baoxue Empire... he has even earned the title of King of the Secret Realm.

All for the safety of the Great Xia Empire.

Even Xu Lingjun himself is quite bewildered.

What was supposedly just a misunderstanding by Uther has been accepted without objection by both Han Xu Yang and the real King of the Secret Realm, the Ancient Tree.

It’s simply ridiculous... how can one sleep soundly beside another’s bed, don’t they understand?

The behavior of these people isn’t quite right.

Could it be...

I’ve indeed become the man destined to be King of the Secret Realm?

Unable to comprehend, he decided not to think about it.

Just in time to take a good rest while Han Xu Yang investigates the whereabouts of many Creation Realm experts...

The experts of the Great Xia Empire are naturally registered.

But it takes considerable effort to keep track of the Grandmasters of the Land of Light.

Fortunately, during this period...

Not only them, but even Uther is actively contacting those Grandmasters.

Han Xu Yang’s actions don’t seem all that surprising.

In the following days,

Xu Lingjun led a carefree life for a while.

Helping Su Huanqing improve her constitution, accompanied by Li Jingjun and Wang Qingya.

Sparring with Li Jingjun in Martial Skills, with Wang Qingya and Su Huanqing as company.

Exploring the mysteries of various research weapons with Wang Qingya... with Li Jingjun and Su Huanqing as company.

Finally getting what he wished for, his heart felt infinitely satisfied.

During the day, he even accompanied Father Wang to several banquets... well... after all, Wang Tiancheng carries the Wang surname, and Xu Lingjun carries the Xu surname, which leads to people still treating him as Xu Lingjun’s father-in-law, despite his frequent claims to be Xu Lingjun’s father.

To Wang Tiancheng, this is an intolerable insult.

Now that Xu Lingjun finally has time, he naturally wants to pull him along to attend several public events more often, to prove that Xu Lingjun is indeed his son.

Several days of carefree and leisurely life passed quickly.

And after waiting several days, Xu Lingjun finally received the news he wanted.

Detailed information on each Creation Realm Grandmaster...

"Great Xia Empire, including me, has a total of five Creation Realm Grandmasters, and the Land of Light has four. Here is the detailed information and current locations of these eight."

Yun Yi, to show his respect for Xu Lingjun, personally delivered the materials.

At the time, Xu Lingjun was having tea and discussing martial arts with Li Jingjun in the pavilion.

Seeing a guest arrive...

Li Jingjun politely stood, paid respects, and went to fetch a new cup.

Facing Xu Lingjun, Yun Yi seemed somewhat reserved.

The more he studied that cultivation technique upon returning, the more he understood its mystical and profound nature. He found Xu Lingjun more and more astonishing, making him reluctant to show any disrespect.

Were it not for Xu Lingjun being so young, he might have already been unable to resist treating him with the respect due a disciple.

Graciously accepting the tea cup, Yun Yi seriously said, "And during this time, aside from us, another group of people has tried contacting those Creation Realm Grandmasters. According to our investigations, that group should be from the Baoxue Empire."

Xu Lingjun asked, "So Uther not only asked us to pass on messages, but he’s also taking action himself?"

Yun Yi nodded and said, "That’s right. In fact, maybe his so-called message-passing was just a courteous reminder. He was informing us that he wanted to contact our Creation Realm Grandmasters, but had no ulterior motives, purely for Martial Tao matters... so we shouldn’t think too much."

"Makes sense."

Xu Lingjun said, "You didn’t receive a message?"

Yun Yi chuckled and said, "That’s how I can be certain of his intentions."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisitely crafted letter from his bosom.

He said, "Uther invited me to the Baoxue Empire, claiming he has the secret to breaking the constraints of the Creation Realm."

Xu Lingjun took the letter.

He gestured to Yun Yi for permission to read, and Yun Yi nodded, allowing him to view freely.

Xu Lingjun then opened it, reading carefully.

The content of the letter was straightforward...

And contained nothing targeted, making Xu Lingjun suspect the letter might have been group-written.

In fact, everyone who received the letter likely saw identical content.

The letter conveyed a simple message...

Uther, in very humble language, claimed he found a way to break through the Creation Realm from within the Honey Realm, but with the Baoxue Empire’s strength alone, he was incapable, so he invites fellow cultivators to join him in exploring the Secret Realm’s safety together.

Xu Lingjun shook his head and sighed, "Uther’s Xia language is truly lacking... there are even typos."

"But the important thing is the content of the letter."

Yun Yi said, "If I hadn’t already received this technique from you, Commander in Chief, to be honest, I would surely be tempted upon seeing this."

"Aren’t you afraid he’s deceiving you?"

"He wouldn’t dare to lie."

Yun Yi said seriously, "Nine Creation Realm Grandmasters united could overturn an empire entirely; unless he doesn’t care about the survival of the Baoxue Empire at all, he must consider carefully before offending all of us."
