He opened his mouth as if to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say.

He felt that all the novels and system stories he had read in his previous life were either products of high technology, tools of some powerful being, or embodiments of the will of Heaven, but none of them were as outrageous as his system.

It claims to be a fragment of the law.

Then it can take out the Jade Disc of Creation.

It says it can only provide basic check-in functionality.

Then it can take out the God-Slaying Spear.

It claims to be just a semi-artificial idiot... Bullshit, that's what it said.

Then it claimed that it existed in a dimension higher than any other world.

"System, when you said you were just a sign-in system, were you lying to me?"

This system isn't lying to you. It is indeed a daily check-in system, and rewards can only be given to you through check-ins. However, the reward inventory was already collected before you were even encountered.

"So you are essentially a fragment of law who carries around a chaotic-level warehouse?"

You can understand it this way.

Luo Heng remained silent for a long time, then slowly raised his thumb.

"Brilliant."

【…Host, could you use a different word?】

"Tongzi, you're amazing."

"...Never mind, let's leave it at that."

……

After talking with Tongzi, Luo Heng suddenly remembered the palace that was deep in his mind and almost forgotten by him.

Xuan Yuan Zi Chen Palace.

When he obtained it in the Northern Abyss, he was just a minor cultivator in the Reincarnation Realm. He acquired this sacred artifact by chance.

But later, he was too busy to settle down and study it properly, and he always used it to smash or suppress powerful enemies.

Now that he is a powerful Ancestral Realm expert and his spiritual power has reached the Divine Palace Realm, he should be able to awaken the spirit of the artifact sleeping deep within the palace.

With a thought, a palm-sized purple palace appeared in Luo Heng's mind and floated above his palm.

The palace was bathed in a warm purple light, and its surface was covered with ancient and mysterious runes, each of which exuded an aura that transcended the laws of the Tianxuan Continent.

“Xuanyuan Zichen Palace…” Luo Heng said softly, his gaze falling on the runes on the surface of the palace, trying to sense whether its spirit had shown any signs of awakening.

But the palace remained silent, with no response.

"Looks like we need to step up our efforts."

Without further hesitation, Luo Heng closed his eyes and slowly extended the tentacles of his spiritual power into the palace.

The palace's interior structure was far more complex than he had imagined, as if countless layers of space were nested together, each layer filled with dense restrictions and runes, making it as unfathomable as a labyrinth.

However, his mental strength is now at the Divine Palace level, and those restrictions that he once found obscure and difficult to understand have become much clearer in his perception.

Following the faint energy pathways within the palace, his spiritual power extended downwards, traversing layers of space, and finally reaching the deepest part of the palace.

It was a vast, empty, purple-gold space.

In the center of the space, a warm ball of light floated, and within the ball of light, a huddled figure could be vaguely seen.

The figure was extremely small, only the size of a palm, like a sleeping baby, or a shrunken ball of light and shadow.

This is the spirit of the artifact.

Luo Heng's mental energy cautiously approached the ball of light, like a gentle palm lightly covering its surface.

His spiritual power seeped into the ball of light, creating a faint resonance with the sleeping artifact spirit. He sensed that the artifact spirit was slowly awakening.

"It will still take some time." Luo Heng withdrew his spiritual power, opened his eyes, looked at the Xuan Yuan Zi Chen Palace in his palm, and said, "But it will be soon."

Based on the current progress, it will take about one to two months for the spirit to fully awaken.

"At that time, we should be able to learn about the complete inheritance of the Supreme Tai Xuan."

Luo Heng retrieved the Xuan Yuan Zi Chen Palace into his sea of ​​consciousness, then stood up and stretched.

"It's getting dark, it's time to go back and rest."

……

Night deepened

Luo Heng changed into a loose nightgown, walked to the door of one of the bedrooms, and pushed the door open to enter.

The room was filled with flickering candlelight. Ying Huanhuan was sitting in front of her dressing table, holding a wooden comb in her hand, slowly combing her long, black hair.

She did not maintain her Ice Lord form today; she still had the same flowing black hair she had during her time in the Dao Sect, wearing a light white nightgown with the collar slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone.

Ying Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, holding an ancient book in her hand. When she heard the door open, she looked up, a gentle light flashing in her calm eyes.

She was also dressed in light clothing, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of the gentleness of the night.

Luo Heng walked between the two, looked around, and smiled slightly, saying, "Why are you all waiting for me tonight?"

"What are you saying? Which night wasn't I waiting for you?" Ying Huanhuan put down the comb, turned around to look at him, and her eyes held a mischievous smile.

“Huanhuan is right, stop pretending to be stupid,” Ying Xiaoxiao said, putting down the ancient book.

Luo Heng sat down on the edge of the bed, put his arm around Ying Huanhuan's waist, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to smell her hair: "Mmm, smells good."

Ying Huanhuan blushed slightly at his action, but she didn't struggle. She just raised her hand and gently patted his chest, saying, "Stop fooling around, your hair isn't combed yet."

"Let me comb your hair." Luo Heng took the wooden comb from her hand, his fingers running through her soft hair with gentle and skillful movements.

Ying Huanhuan leaned against him, feeling the touch of his fingertips brushing through her hair, and squinted her eyes slightly, like a cat being stroked.

Ying Xiaoxiao sat to the side watching this scene, a slight smile playing on her lips, without making a sound to disturb it.

A moment later, Luo Heng put down the comb, lowered his head and whispered something in Ying Huanhuan's ear. The latter's cheeks instantly turned red, and she raised her hand to punch him, blushing as she said, "Why are you always like this?"

"What?" Luo Heng asked innocently.

"You know perfectly well why I'm asking this!"

Ying Xiaoxiao watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying, "Serves him right."

Luo Heng turned to look at her, raising his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Xiaoxiao, the way you put it... it seems I should thank you properly for your concern tonight."

Ying Xiaoxiao's ears turned slightly red, but she was always better at keeping her expression steady than her sister. She simply turned her head away and pretended not to hear.

However, this act of pretending not to hear didn't last long.

Luo Heng gently put down the wooden comb in his hand, stood up, walked to Ying Xiaoxiao, leaned slightly forward, supported himself on the edge of the bed with one hand, and gently lifted her chin with the other, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"You were so talkative just now, why are you silent now?"

Ying Xiaoxiao's breath hitched slightly. Her calm eyes met his for a moment before she finally looked away and said, "You... let go first."

"I won't let go." Luo Heng said lightly, lowering his head to gently kiss her lips.

Ying Huanhuan sat to the side watching the two of them with a hint of amusement, and said, "Sister, you were just saying I deserved it, now it's your turn, isn't it?"

Ying Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed even more, but she didn't push Luo Heng away. She just closed her eyes and let the kiss land on her lips.

Luo Heng indeed didn't have a problem with favoritism. He let go of Ying Xiaoxiao and then pulled Ying Huanhuan, who was standing next to him, over to him.

Ying Huanhuan was pulled into his arms by his movement, and subconsciously raised her hand to support herself against his chest, saying, "Heng-ge! Be gentle!"

"Gently? When have you ever seen me be gentle?" Luo Heng's laughter was low, falling on her ear with a warm sound that made her heart race.

Ying Huanhuan's face turned completely red. She bit her lip and glared at him, but it didn't hurt her at all. She said, "You...you shouldn't go too far tonight."

"That's hard to say."

The candlelight in the bedroom burned for a long time that night.

During this time, Ying Huanhuan's long hair, which she had painstakingly combed, became messy again. She lay on the pillow, protesting breathlessly, "Heng-ge! You pulled my hair again!"

"I didn't notice, I just grabbed it without thinking."

"You did this on purpose!"

"Yes, it was intentional."

"you--!"

"Then why don't you bite me?"

"……roll."

Chapter 465 Time Flies Like an Arrow, Six Years Have Passed in the Blink of an Eye (Two Chapters Combined)

Six years is neither a long nor a short time.

But for the Tianxuan Continent, these six years were undoubtedly the first brilliant six years in its history.

Following Luo Heng, Ying Huanhuan, Ling Qingzhu, the Devourer, Lin Dong, and others, more and more powerful individuals have crossed that once unattainable threshold and entered the Ancestral Realm.

Qingtan, Xiao Diao, Xiao Yan, Qingzhi, and other powerful individuals who were originally at the peak of the Triple Reincarnation Realm have also broken through to the Ancestral Realm in the past six years.

They once thought that the Ancestral Realm was just a distant legend, but after Luo Heng opened up that path, they realized that they were only one step away from that realm.

Among these, the breakthrough of Qingtan is the most noteworthy.

She was originally the master of the Dark Temple, wielding the Dark Ancestral Symbol and the Dark Holy Scythe. She had also accumulated extremely rich combat experience in the Great War of Heaven and Earth. With Luo Heng's careful guidance, her strength increased rapidly after breaking through to the Ancestral Realm.

Little Mink and Little Flame also broke through to the Ancestral Realm one after another.

Xiao Diao was originally the young clan leader of the Heavenly Demon Diao clan, with the top bloodline of ancient demon beasts flowing through his body. With the guidance of the Lord of Space and the help of Luo Heng, his breakthrough came naturally.

Xiao Yan was even more astonishing. After devouring the temple, he became the Dark Holy Tiger. The two ancestors of the Dark Holy Tiger clan that Luo Heng resurrected valued him highly and taught him everything they knew. Coupled with his own ruthlessness and perseverance, he actually broke through to the Ancestral Realm a few months earlier than Xiao Diao.

Meanwhile, Aokiji also entered the Ancestral Realm during these six years.

He was originally a veteran Reincarnation Realm expert in the Tianxuan Continent, with profound experience and already standing at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. Now, a path to a higher level has been paved, and he naturally crossed that threshold.

In addition, powerful figures such as Elder Xuan, Elder Ming, and Kun Xuan have also broken through to the Ancestral Realm.

After these former acquaintances broke through to the Ancestral Realm one by one, they all had the same question.
