While He Hong and Lu Qing'an were talking alone, Xu Yunyi, with Lu Zixuan and Lu Miaomiao's help, settled into a room so thoroughly cleaned that not a speck of dust was visible.

"Auntie, how long are you staying this time?" Lu Zixuan asked with a smile.

She hoped Xu Yunyi could stay for a few more days.

Xu Yunyi stroked both girls' heads. "That depends. I'll try to spend as much time with you two as I can. Once you've adjusted to life here, I'll go back."

"Then we'll never adjust!" Lu Miaomiao said slyly.

"You clever little thing!" Xu Yunyi affectionately pinched Lu Miaomiao's cheek.

Lu Zixuan knew Xu Yunyi would leave sooner or later, and there was no stopping her. She could only treasure the time they had together.

"Auntie, look at my cultivation!"

Lu Zixuan cast aside the unpleasant thought of their eventual parting and treasured the present, smiling as she showed off the changes she had undergone over the past two days.

Xu Yunyi hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that Lu Zixuan had deliberately shown her, she finally saw how much her cultivation had changed.

"You! How did you break through an entire major realm?!"

The change in Lu Zixuan made Xu Yunyi wonder if her eyes were deceiving her.

Only two days had passed.

How had she broken through an entire major realm?!

"Not only that, my cultivation has already been converted to the kind used here in the Demon Domain!"

Lu Zixuan held out her hand and conjured a ball of Demonic Qi, a powerful pressure radiating from her entire body.

Xu Yunyi stared, dumbfounded.

What on earth had happened?!

She had heard about the situation in the Demon Domain before. For someone from the Immortal Ruins to cultivate a Demon Domain cultivation technique, they had to abandon their original cultivation before they could succeed.

What had Lu Zixuan gone through to undergo such a change?!

"Zixuan, tell Auntie properly. How did you do it?"

It was simply unbelievable!

"It was all thanks to my father! He even helped me advance an entire major realm while he was at it! Auntie, you have no idea how strong my father really is!" Lu Zixuan hurriedly told her what she had discovered over the past two days.

She was immensely proud that her father was so terrifyingly strong.

She simply hadn't been able to find anyone to share her joy and excitement with before. Now that her aunt was here, she had to tell her all about it!

"He certainly is strong! I never imagined he was at the Peak Great Emperor Realm. But even so, he shouldn't be able to help you convert your cultivation, should he?"

Xu Yunyi still couldn't understand it.

"My father said he's the only one on the entire Cangyun Continent who can do it!"

"Are you sure he said that?"

"Auntie, Father also told us he became invincible a long time ago!" Lu Miaomiao hurriedly added.

She looked very cute when she grinned.

"Invincible?"

Xu Yunyi blinked her beautiful eyes.

The two children had no reason to lie to her, and the change in Lu Zixuan was plainly there before her eyes.

Still, when it came to being invincible, perhaps Lu Qing'an had been joking with the two children.

After all, everyone knew that beyond every person stood someone greater, and beyond every heaven was another heaven.

But her brother-in-law really was terrifyingly strong!

She didn't think her sister, or even her sister's master, could bring about the change in Lu Zixuan!

It seems my brother-in-law really is one of the strongest experts in the Demon Domain, Xu Yunyi thought.

"Oh, right, Auntie! Look at my divine weapon!"

Something occurred to Lu Zixuan, and she hurriedly took the Nine Hells Immortal-Slaying Sword out of her storage ring.

Xu Yunyi looked at the Nine Hells Immortal-Slaying Sword in Lu Zixuan's hand. A single glance gave her a tremendous fright.

This was!!!

"Zixuan! Where did you get such a divine weapon?!!"

It was too terrifying!

With just one look, she felt her soul tremble!

She had never seen such a terrifying divine weapon!

The strongest weapon she had ever seen was the treasured sword belonging to her sister's master.

But compared to this divine weapon, that treasured sword was no different from a child's toy!!

And such a divine weapon was in her niece's hands?!!

Seeing the shocked look on her aunt's face, Lu Zixuan pursed her lips and smiled. "Auntie, my father gave me this divine weapon. It's called the Nine Hells Immortal-Slaying Sword. Isn't it cool? Isn't it powerful?"

Xu Yunyi's mind froze. As if she had been struck by lightning for a whole day and night, she began to question her entire life.

Your father gave it to you?!!

She couldn't help thinking of her other nephew, Lu Zhengran.

After Lu Zhengran obtained that treasured saber, he could hardly bear to put it down. He carried it on his back almost every day, and whenever he saw someone, he would deliberately show them his back, just so they would pay more attention to his saber.

Well, now the difference was all too obvious!

"Zixuan, are you sure your father really gave this to you? Auntie has seen a thing or two, but I've never seen a divine weapon like this anywhere in the Immortal Ruins..."

That he could give it to a child was even more shocking!

Lu Zixuan couldn't help lowering her head with a smile. "At first, I also thought my current strength wasn't worthy of this divine weapon, but my father said it wasn't worthy of me."

Xu Yunyi: "..."

This weapon must have been her brother-in-law's main weapon!

He had simply given it to his daughter!

And now, her assessment of Lu Qing'an rose another notch.

For him to possess such a terrifying divine weapon, his strength seemed even greater than she had initially thought!

No wonder he had dared to challenge Lin Qingxue that day.

He had even said he was capable of killing Lin Qingxue!

It turned out he hadn't just been running his mouth. He really was capable of it!

It seems he really did restrain his killing intent that day... He has such a steady temperament...

In his place, someone else might have gone on a killing spree that day.

"Auntie! Auntie! Look, I have one too!"

Just as Xu Yunyi was lost in amazement, Lu Miaomiao poked her in the back with a little finger.

When she turned around, she went completely numb.

A cute little suit of armor had appeared on Lu Miaomiao, exuding an equally terrifying presence.

"This..."

She no longer knew what to say.

The terrifying presence of this suit of armor was comparable to that of the divine weapon!

They were clearly on the same level!

With just one look, she already felt a powerful sense of helplessness settle over her heart.

It was as if, no matter how she attacked her little niece, all her strength would be unable to harm a single hair on the girl's head!

"Auntie, look, I can make it hide too! See? Isn't it gone?"

Lu Miaomiao hurriedly demonstrated, making the armor appear and disappear.

"It can even change color!"

Xu Yunyi was dazzled by the sight and felt a little dizzy.

Her brother-in-law was far too mysterious and unfathomable!

Just where did his strength rank in the entire Demon Domain?!

In any case, judging by these two treasures, there was absolutely nothing like them in the Immortal Ruins!

Yet her brother-in-law had simply given two such terrifying treasures to his daughters!

She considered whether her sister would give these two treasures to the children if she possessed them.

The answer was no!

"Ah... It's a good thing the children have such a father..."
