Relatives

In an ordinary city, Zhou Tong and Yan Ruyu, dressed in modern urban attire, strolled hand in hand through the bustling city. Skyscrapers stood tall in the glow of the sunset, as if gilded.

"It has changed a lot..." Zhou Tong sighed as he looked at the surrounding buildings.

Everything here, from the architectural style to everything else, is completely different from when he was on Earth. After all, more than a hundred years have passed, and aesthetics and technology have undergone tremendous changes.

"But the clothing on this ancient star is a bit revealing!" Yan Ruyu changed into a simple white dress and high-heeled sandals. Her stunning beauty and slender figure attracted countless eyes along the way.

"Different cultures need to be experienced firsthand to be truly helpful." Zhou Tong looked him up and down and chuckled. "You've been walking this far, and I don't know how many young people will have gone astray tonight."

Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes at Zhou Tong, then said, "However, it seems that cultivation on this ancient star is only just beginning. We haven't seen many people with cultivation along the way."

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "Before I entered Big Dipper, this ancient star was still in the End of Dharma Age, and even cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm could be called peerless experts. However, now, this ancient star has begun to recover, and the environment is much better than before... But the recovery period is too short, and the cultivation culture here has not yet become popular."

Spiritual practice also requires a foundation of civilization and culture.

For a scientific civilization to transform into a cultivation civilization, it requires a massive shift in the entire civilization's ideology, and it's simply impossible to complete such a transformation in less than a hundred years. Furthermore, the revival of spiritual energy also requires several hundred or even a thousand years to gradually complete.

Therefore, although the trend of cultivation is gradually rising on Earth, it has not yet undergone a comprehensive transformation, and people here still focus on technology.

If things continue on this trajectory, Earth will become the second Yongheng Star Domain, developing into a cultivation civilization that relies on mechs for combat and advanced rapidly using evolution fluids. At that point, Earth might become a notorious bandit civilization in the vast universe...

"Let's go!" Zhou Tong then wandered around for a while, and then followed his memory to his home.

More than a hundred years have passed, and this place has changed. The old houses have been demolished and new houses have been built. But Zhou Tong used his unparalleled time-traveling technique to go back in time with a wave of his hand.

He didn't go back to a very long time, only about a hundred years.

Here, he finally saw two elderly people and two young people. These were his parents and the two children they had after he left.

Images flashed before Zhou Tong's eyes.

This is the life of two elderly people in their later years. Although they are old, they are free from illness and disaster and are enjoying their old age in the company of their children.

"He's gone, he's been gone for fifty years..." A sense of sadness welled up in Zhou Tong's heart.

For over a century, in pursuit of dreams and aspirations, they have abandoned their hometowns and their parents...

Although Yan Ruyu didn't know what Zhou Tong had seen, she had a general idea. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know how to put it into words. She herself had lost her parents when she was young and didn't understand much, so she didn't know how Zhou Tong was feeling now.

"Please accept my condolences!" In the end, Yan Ruyu simply held Zhou Tong's hand and said these two words.

"I'm fine!"

After a long while, Zhou Tong took a deep breath, cast aside the sadness in his heart, and regained his usual composure, calmness, and confidence.

"Let's go. I have a younger brother and sister here. I guess they should be in that place!" Zhou Tong didn't think too much about it and directly led Yan Ruyu westward toward Kunlun.

His divine sense had swept across the entire Earth, but he hadn't found Zhou Qing and Zhou Ya. So, in the current situation, they either had already left Earth, or they were staying in the sealed Kunlun.

Zhou Tong remembered that among the things he had asked Ye Fan to bring to his family was a map showing the way in and out of Kunlun Mountain. When their cultivation reached a certain level, they would naturally be able to see that map.

Soon, the two arrived at Kunlun. After bypassing an ancient formation, they came to a vast and boundless region.

This is an Eternal Dragon Mountain, vast and boundless, with a majestic aura, almost like a living True Dragon lurking here. The great mountains here are terrifyingly tall, each one towering, shrouded in clouds and mist, like Chaos Qi, filled with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"What an amazing aura! This mountain is incredible!!" Yan Ruyu was also astonished. Even in the Big Dipper, there are few mountains that can compare to it.

Only Mount Sumeru Big Dipper Undying Mountain can compare to this mountain range!

"This is the Kunlun Mountain!" Zhou Tong said softly.

"What? This is Kunlun Mountain?" Yan Ruyu was shocked. She never expected that this was the legendary immortal mountain, Kunlun.

Kunlun is also a sacred mountain renowned throughout the universe, and legends about Kunlun can be heard everywhere in the starry sky. It is said that the Immortal Bell was born from Kunlun Mountain, and that the Emperor Venerable conquered this land and obtained the Immortal Bell.

The name of Kunlun Mountain, like that of Mount Sumeru and Undying Mountain, is a famous mountain that resounds throughout the starry sky.

"Let's go, I've found them!" Zhou Tong led Yan Ruyu deeper into Kunlun.

Along the way, ancient trees stood tall and vigorous, many of them having grown for countless years. They towered into the clouds, and sometimes several trees would grow together, covering an area of many miles, their shadows even surpassing those of the mountains.

Before long, the two arrived at a precipice. Before them, a vast, chaotic river cascaded down like a waterfall, obscuring most of the cliff. It was an unimaginable miracle; the boundless chaotic waterfall was breathtaking.

"Such a miracle exists here!" Yan Ruyu exclaimed in surprise once again.

"Traces left by the Ruthless Great Emperor." Zhou Tong's gaze fell upon the cliff.

As you can see, there is a blood-stained garment, guarded by chaos. The Ruthless Great Emperor protected it here with his supreme power, and it remains imperishable even after more than two hundred thousand years. Beside the blood-stained garment is a gleaming monument.

The law of the Ruthless Great Emperor is inscribed on it, guarding this place. Anyone who dares to touch this place will be subjected to the most terrible attack. The value of this stele is no less than that of the Tian Yuan Stone Tablet left behind by the Wu Shi the Great.

"The life of the Ruthless Great Emperor, alas!!" Yan Ruyu, having also gained insight into some of the mysteries of this place, couldn't help but sigh.

Among the many Ancient Emperor Great Emperor, the Ruthless Great Emperor had perhaps the most tragic childhood.

Just as the two were looking at this area, a voice suddenly came from not far away—

"Is... is this my older brother?"

Zhou Tong and Yan Ruyu turned their heads and saw two simple thatched huts not far from the Chaotic Waterfall. From one of the huts, a young man whose appearance and build vaguely resembled Zhou Tong came out.

He radiated a hazy golden light, like a Sun Emperor, a symbol of having cultivated the "True Sun Scripture" to a certain level.

"Big brother? What big brother?" Soon, a woman came out of the thatched hut next door. She had a Yan Ruyu, a slender figure, and was surrounded by a radiant glow, exuding an otherworldly aura.

The woman was immediately startled when she saw Zhou Tong and Yan Ruyu as soon as she came out.

In particular, the way she looked at Zhou Tong was different; clearly, having seen his photos since childhood, she recognized Zhou Tong.
