Wu Shattered Star River

“Origins?”

Jiang Han hesitated, after all, it concerned Zhen Ji's daughter. He didn't know the relationship between City Lord Ding and Zhen Ji, and naturally, some things were best left unsaid.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I do have some connection with the Second Master, but I'm not at liberty to disclose the specifics unilaterally. I hope the City Lord understands!"

“Haha!”

City Lord Ding chuckled. He was short and thin, and his face was covered in wrinkles when he smiled.

He waved his hand and said, "It's alright. After you went to Holy Yin City, what happened? Tell me in detail. The subsequent intelligence hasn't been delivered yet."

“Alright!”

Jiang Han nodded and recounted the details, though he wasn't entirely clear on some aspects.

For instance, after Zhen Ji appeared, he had been taken into Zhen Ji's spatial magic artifact and wasn't released until the Northern Region Great Emperor arrived.

After he explained everything in detail, City Lord Ding and Feng Wujiu exchanged glances. City Lord Ding seemed to recall something and nodded slightly, saying, "Yao Ao clearly favors Zhen Ji. I sensed something was amiss during the previous battles. Yao Ao must have been the one who helped Zhen Ji escape the Eastern Region; otherwise, she might have been killed."

Feng Wujiu remained silent, evidently finding it inconvenient to express his views on Zhen Ji. After all, Zhen Ji was at the Dao Ancestor realm and had once been the Second Master of White Jade City.

City Lord Ding spoke, turning his gaze to Jiang Han and saying, "You've also broken through to the Holy Lord realm. From now on, be more obedient and don't go around causing trouble. Especially… don't make a mess in the Eastern Region. Zhen Ji saved you, so the Grand Master might think you're part of Zhen Ji's faction. If you cause trouble, you'll easily become a target."

Jiang Han pursed his lips and suddenly bowed, saying, "City Lord, I wish to return to the Great Thousand World. Once I've settled matters there, I promise to stay in Tianyu City obediently and never run around or cause trouble again."

“Return to the Great Thousand World?”

City Lord Ding frowned and looked at Feng Wujiu, who said, "Jiang Han came from the Great Thousand World near the Black Abyss."

“Black Abyss?”

City Lord Ding nodded slightly and said, "Do you want to go back to see your family? Do you want to bring your family here?"

“I'm going back…”

Jiang Han paused and said truthfully, "Our Great Thousand World might erupt in a great war. I need to go back to protect my clansmen and might have to fight a great battle."

City Lord Ding turned his gaze to Feng Wujiu again, who took out a document and said, "War could indeed break out there at any time. Several forces are vying for dominance. Hmm… according to intelligence, there shouldn't be any Dao Ancestor realm experts there."

“Hmm!”

City Lord Ding nodded and said, "Since you came from that world, you can go down. Your combat power should be enough to suppress most Holy Lords, right?"

“You can go back, but I'll give you a piece of advice—you can defeat and suppress the other forces, but do not unify the entire Great Thousand World, because White Jade City will absolutely not allow it.”

“Uh…”

Jiang Han was taken aback and asked, "Why can't I unify the Great Thousand World?"

“You don't need to know the specific reason!”

City Lord Ding shook his head and said, "Just remember this: do not unify the Great Thousand World!"

“Even if you kill most of the experts from the other clans, you must leave some behind.”

“You can be the dominant power, but you cannot unify the world, understand? If you violate this, White Jade City will send a large number of experts down to wipe out your entire clan!”

“Ah?”

Jiang Han's heart trembled. He remembered the Ancient God Clan that unified the Great Thousand World in the past.

He had previously guessed that the Ancient God Clan had been annihilated by White Jade City, and now it seemed certain. Any force that dared to unify the Great Thousand World would be annihilated by White Jade City?

Although he was curious as to why White Jade City would do this, he didn't press the matter since City Lord Ding wasn't saying. He cupped his hands and said, "I understand!"

“Right!”

Jiang Han recalled something and produced a jade stone, saying, "My wife came from the Great Thousand World with me. She's at the Dao Ancestor realm, and her soul is intact. I plan to revive her. Can she come down with me then?"

“Dao Ancestor realm experts cannot descend to the lower realm!”

Feng Wujiu explained before City Lord Ding could speak, "White Jade City has an iron rule: Dao Ancestor realm experts are strictly forbidden from going to the Great Thousand World; otherwise, they will violate the iron rule and be targeted by White Jade City."

“Of course… if you can descend to the lower realm without anyone knowing, or if your rank in White Jade City is high enough, descending discreetly is no problem.”

City Lord Ding thought for a moment and said, "Revive your wife. Later, have her join the Tianyu Army. Wujiu, get her some paperwork, and she can descend to perform military duties. That way, she can descend."

“But remember what I said earlier: do not unify the Great Thousand World, and do not exterminate the opposing forces. Also, once you've finished your business, don't stay down there for too long; otherwise, White Jade City… might judge that you're disrupting the balance, and then a Lord might descend!”

“Alright!”

Jiang Han nodded. As long as he and Ye Wanqiu could descend to the lower realm, suppressing the Buddha and the Evil King would be a piece of cake, right?

When the time came, he would kill off most of the experts from the Evil Clan and the Myriad Buddha Hall, let the Heavenly Court occupy half the territory, and leave the remaining half to the God Clan, Demon Clan, and Myriad Buddha Hall. Then he could rest easy.

It wouldn't matter if he and Ye Wanqiu returned to the Land of Absolute Zero. He could find a way to bring his family up and settle them in Tianyu City.

“Let me see the jade stone!”

City Lord Ding extended his hand, and Jiang Han hurriedly walked over and handed over the jade stone. City Lord Ding closed his eyes to sense it.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Her soul hasn't suffered too much damage. After nurturing it for a period of time, you can use natural treasures to help her reshape her physical body."

“Wujiu!”

City Lord Ding looked at Feng Wujiu and said, "Help him revive his wife personally. Allocate whatever resources you need from the treasury. Once you've finished this matter, you need to seclude yourself and cultivate properly."

“Judging from Yao Ao's actions, he'll probably unite and attack the Central Region before long. When that happens, a great war will break out. If you haven't broken through to the Dao Ancestor realm, you won't be fit to sit in this position.”

Feng Wujiu bowed and said, "It's my uselessness that has disappointed the City Lord."

City Lord Ding picked up his teacup and waved his hand, saying, "Go!"

Jiang Han and Feng Wujiu bowed respectfully. This supreme expert who had been stationed in Tianyu City for millions of years didn't put on too many airs, which filled Jiang Han with respect.

The two of them left the backyard and returned to the estate where Feng Wujiu resided.

Feng Wujiu summoned an old Heavenly Emperor, tossed out a token, and said, "Go and fetch ten Cloud Soul Grasses, then fetch a Heavenly Altar Wood, a piece of Earth Core Dragon Marrow, a… Also, summon Long Jian!"

Feng Wujiu listed seven or eight types of divine herbs and materials. The old man hurriedly left. Feng Wujiu explained, "Long Jian has studied souls for many years. With him watching over, there won't be any problems."

“Thank you, Lord Wujiu!”

Jiang Han nodded. The two of them waited quietly there. After a moment, Long Jian arrived, and after another while, the old man brought the spiritual materials.

Feng Wujiu said to the old man, "We will be in seclusion for half a month. During this half month, do not disturb us unless it is a major event. If there is anything, let the several Great Commanders handle it themselves."

Ye Wanqiu's soul was well-preserved, only somewhat weak, so reviving her wouldn't be too difficult. Half a month would be enough.

“Buzz~”

After the old man left, Feng Wujiu cast a series of flowing lights, activating the formation within the palace. He and Long Jian began to help Ye Wanqiu revive.
