Why is it that, even though they are both at the Ancestral Realm, the gap between them and Luo Heng seems to be an insurmountable chasm?

On several occasions, several Ancestral Realm experts sparred and exchanged techniques in the void above the Imperial Pavilion, testing each other's strength.

Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu sparred together, and the aftershocks of their battle easily tore through space, causing the Ancestral Realm experts watching to be secretly alarmed. However, when Luo Heng occasionally joined in, the difference in their abilities became particularly glaring.

"Come at me all at once," Luo Heng said casually, standing in the void, his blue robe fluttering in the wind.

Several Ancestral Realm experts looked at each other, then attacked together without any hesitation.

The result was, of course, without any suspense.

Luo Heng didn't even use the God-Slaying Spear, nor did he activate the power of the Plane Embryo. He simply waved his hand and neutralized everyone's attacks one by one, as easily as an adult playing with a child.

"Is this... really the same realm?" A newly promoted Ancestral Realm expert couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Little Mink stood to the side, a hint of helplessness in his narrow eyes, and said, "Stop comparing, that guy is not on the same level as us."

“I think we’re cultivating a pseudo-ancestral realm.” Xiao Yan nodded in deep agreement.

Ying Huanhuan took it all in stride. Standing beside Luo Heng, a hint of a smile played in her icy blue eyes. She said, "Brother Heng is different from us. He has the blessing of a Plane Embryo and was the first to break through to the Ancestral Realm. Naturally, his accumulation is much deeper than ours."

Although he said it casually, everyone present knew that Luo Heng's foundation was far more than just a dimensional embryo.

However, they didn't dwell on it too much. After all, the stronger Luo Heng was, the better for the Tianxuan Continent. With such a guardian in this world, everyone could feel at ease.

……

In these six years, Lin Dong also completed his major life events.

He officially married Xinqing and Mulingshan, becoming their wife.

Xin Qing is a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. She is gentle and considerate, and her relationship with Lin Dong has always been stable. Mu Lingshan has been with him since the Chaotic Demon Sea period, and the bond between the two has long surpassed ordinary friendship.

Although Lin Dong's wedding was not as grand as Luo Heng's wedding back then, it was still a lively affair thanks to the joint efforts of the Dao Sect and the Four Symbols Palace. Almost all the powerful figures who had ever crossed paths with Lin Dong attended to offer their congratulations.

Lin Dong now has two children.

The older one is a son, named Lin Che, whose personality is very similar to Lin Dong's when he was young. The younger one is a daughter, named Lin Nian, who is lively and cute, just like Mu Lingshan.

The two children are four years old this year, which is the most mischievous age. They often run around in front of the Dao Sect's mountain gate, which makes the elders both love and hate them.

Every time Lin Dong brought the two children to see Luo Heng, Luo Heng would laugh and play with them for a while, then watch the two little ones chase after Luo Xuan's younger siblings in the courtyard of the Imperial Pavilion, the whole courtyard filled with laughter.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Diao also got married in their respective clans. Although they did not marry multiple wives like Luo Heng, they both found their own happy homes and lived peaceful and happy lives.

……

Beyond these daily routines, the Xuan Yuan Zi Chen Palace was also completely repaired by Luo Heng over the past six years.

The moment the spirit of the artifact awoke, Luo Heng sensed that the entire palace was radiating a new vitality. The once-dim runes lit up again, and the space inside the palace became more stable and expansive.

The Xuan Yuan Zi Chen Palace's grade has been restored from a mid-level sacred artifact to a near-peerless sacred artifact. Although it is still some distance from its peak spiritual-grade peerless sacred artifact, with Luo Heng's current resources and methods, its restoration is only a matter of time.

The spirit's true form is a palm-sized purple ball of light, similar in shape to the spirit of the bronze measuring ruler, but with a more gentle and reserved temperament.

“Master.” The spirit’s voice was calm and respectful, carrying a composure that had been tempered by countless years, and said, “I have awakened and am ready to obey your commands at any time.”

Luo Heng looked at the purple ball of light floating in front of him, nodded, and said, "You should still remember the complete inheritance of the Supreme Tai Xuan, right?"

“I remember.” The artifact spirit trembled slightly and said, “Before leaving, my master left all his knowledge deep within the palace, including his supreme avatar, cultivation techniques, and a great deal of information about the Great Thousand World.”

"If the master is willing, I can open a passage to the inheritance space for you."

Luo Heng didn't rush into the inheritance space. He simply nodded and said, "No rush, we'll talk about it later. You should focus on recovering first."

The spirit didn't say much, only responding with a "Yes," before disappearing back into the depths of the palace.

It sensed that Luo Heng's current true combat power far surpassed that of the Tai Xuan Supreme of yesteryear. Although those inheritances were precious, they were merely icing on the cake for Luo Heng.

However, some information about the world is still worth reading.

Luo Heng wasn't in a hurry. He put the palace away first and would study it slowly later.

……

Luo Heng's child is already six years old.

Luo Chen, Luo Yu, Luo Xiao, Luo Yuan, Luo Yi, Luo Xi, Luo Yan, and Luo Lan are eight little ones who are at the most lively and active age.

They inherited their parents' best bloodline talents, each of them was precocious and amazing, and their cultivation speed was ridiculously fast. Even though Luo Heng deliberately suppressed their cultivation progress to prevent them from progressing too fast and lest their foundations become unstable, their current cultivation level is at least at the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm.

Luo Chen, as Luo Heng's first son, is the most talented.

He was born at the Lesser Completion of the Life Profound Realm, and now at the age of six, he has cultivated to the Perfection of the Life Profound Realm, only one step away from the Death Profound Realm.

He inherited Luo Heng's handsome face and Ying Huanhuan's aloof temperament. At a young age, he already had a certain composure and was extremely dedicated to cultivation. He often sat alone on a rock in the back mountain to meditate and cultivate. His focus was quite similar to that of Luo Heng back then.

Luo Yu, on the other hand, was much more lively and active. She inherited Qing Tan's carefree personality and spent all day dragging her brothers and sisters around. She especially loved to pester Luo Xuan to take her out to play.

However, her talent was equally astonishing, and she never hesitated when it came to cultivation.

Luo Xiao has a calm and reserved personality, much like Ling Qingzhu. He doesn't talk much, but he is very organized in his work. At a young age, he has already learned to take care of his younger siblings.

Luo Yuan, Luo Yi, Luo tide, Luo Yan, and Luo Lan each have their own personalities; some are quiet, some are active, some are talkative, and some are still.

However, these eight children have one thing in common: they all really like to stick close to Luo Xuan, their eldest sister.

Luo Xuan was happy to be the eldest sister, and she would take time every day to accompany her younger siblings to cultivate, play, and tell stories. The scene of the eight little ones revolving around her had become the most common sight in the back mountain of the Imperial Pavilion.

……

Luo Xuan is almost twenty years old this year.

As Luo Heng's first child, she is also the most noble young woman in the Tianxuan Continent, without exception.

His father was the Lord of the Plane and the first Ancestral Realm expert in the history of the Tianxuan Continent. His mother was the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace and the third Ancestral Realm expert in the Tianxuan Continent.

She herself is a peak expert at the Triple Reincarnation Realm.

At this age and with this level of cultivation, it would be inconceivable in any era of the Tianxuan Continent.

It should be noted that when Luo Xuan was the same age as the Eight Ancient Lords, they were still struggling below the Reincarnation Realm, while Luo Xuan had already reached the pinnacle of the Reincarnation Realm, just one step away from the Ancestral Realm.

Her talent was indeed impeccable. Even Luo Heng had to admit that his daughter's talent was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Moreover, the Nine Heavenly Jade Bracelet on her wrist is a priceless treasure that is unique in the entire Tianxuan Continent.

It is an existence of the highest quality, a supreme sacred object.

Looking across the entire Tianxuan Continent, there is no other spiritual treasure that can compare to it.

Even the Xuan Yuan Zi Chen Palace is currently only a near-peerless sacred artifact, and even if it is fully restored, it will not be stronger than the Nine Profound Heaven Jade Bracelet, after all, it was published by the system.

The bracelet had grown up with Luo Xuan and was now connected to her by blood. As her cultivation level increased, the bracelet's power was gradually being unlocked, and it could now unleash part of the power of the fourth level of divine ability.

Luo Xuan herself had been curious about the origin of this bracelet. She asked Ling Qingzhu, who simply smiled and said it was a gift that Luo Heng had prepared for her years ago.

She once asked Luo Heng, "Father, what is the origin of this bracelet?"

Luo Heng just smiled and said, "It was a gift from a very capable friend when you were born."

"A very powerful friend? Is there anyone more powerful than Father now?" Luo Xuan asked curiously.

Luo Heng thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...it might be even more powerful than me."

Luo Xuan blinked, then didn't press the matter. She simply looked down at the smooth, jade-like bracelet on her wrist, thinking to herself:

"Then it must be a very, very good friend."

……

On this day, in the courtyard behind the Imperial Pavilion, Luo Xuan was sitting cross-legged under a Yuan tree, cultivating.

A rich power of reincarnation flowed around her, circulating within her like a gentle stream, each cycle becoming more refined than the last.

She is trying to break into her ancestral homeland.

Although she is currently only at the peak of the third reincarnation realm, with her foundation and talent, she has already faintly touched the threshold of the ancestral realm, and only needs an opportunity to cross it.

"Xuan'er".

A gentle voice came from the courtyard gate.

When Luo Xuan opened her eyes, she saw Luo Heng standing at the courtyard gate, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at her with gentle eyes.

"Father." Luo Xuan stood up, walked quickly to him, and said, "Why are you here?"

"Let's see how your cultivation is going." Luo Heng handed her the teacup and continued, "How do you feel? Are you confident about reaching the threshold of the Ancestral Realm?"

Luo Xuan took the teacup, took a small sip, and then thought for a moment before saying, "I can feel that threshold, but I always feel like something is missing."

Luo Heng nodded, not in a hurry to speak, but walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down. He then gestured for her to sit down as well, saying, "No rush, you're only twenty years old, you have plenty of time."

"Moreover, you are different from your younger siblings. All your cultivation has been achieved through your own hard work, step by step. Your foundation is much more solid than theirs."

"That's precisely why you'll be able to go further than them in the future."

Luo Xuan sat opposite him, looking at him with a thoughtful look in her big, dark eyes, and asked, "Father, when do you think I will be able to break through to the Ancestral Realm?"

"It could be as fast as six months, or as slow as a year," Luo Heng said calmly. "And when you break through, you won't just be a regular Ancestral Realm cultivator like others."

"What would that be like?" Luo Xuan asked curiously.

Luo Heng thought for a moment, then said, "You have my bloodline, Qingzhu's bloodline, the inheritance of the Supreme Power, and the blessing of that bracelet. Your starting point after the breakthrough will be very high."

"How tall?" Luo Xuan pressed.

"Probably... only slightly weaker than when I broke through to the Ancestral Realm," Luo Heng said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Luo Xuan's large, dark eyes. Then she clenched her fist and said, "Then I have to work harder and try to break through as soon as possible!"

"There's no need to rush." ​​Luo Heng smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "You are now among the most powerful people in the Tianxuan Continent. Looking across this world, there are very few who can surpass you."

"Besides, you still have us."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Yes, I know."

“My mother, father, aunts, and younger brothers and sisters are all by my side.”

"I will protect them."

Chapter 466 Xiao Yan, The Grand Finale! (The End)

One year later, behind the Imperial Pavilion

On this day, the Yuan energy of the Tianxuan Continent seemed to be converging towards the direction of the Imperial Pavilion.
