Eternal Sacred King

2440 Unfathomable Variables

Green Firmament Immortal Domain, Battle Kingdom’s Palace.

In a sleeping chamber, a medicinal fragrance wafted out as a middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the couch. His long hair was tied up behind his back, revealing a withered face that seemed like he had yet to recover from a serious illness.

There was a pitch-black halberd erected in front of the bed. The man’s face was resolute and his chest was broad. His figure was upright and seemed to be one with the halberd, exuding a majestic aura.

Not far away, a beautiful middle-aged woman with a worried expression held an item that resembled a turtle shell and shone brightly.

The beautiful middle-aged woman’s other hand swiped through the void continuously, leaving a series of trajectories as though she was divining something.

A moment later, the middle-aged man opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Ling Long, if you can’t divine it, you should make a trip to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain personally.”

The beautiful middle-aged woman remained silent and focused. She did not dare to be distracted and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, as though the divination had taken a huge toll on her.

After a while, the turtle shell in the beautiful middle-aged woman’s hands suddenly bounced up and fell to the ground. The light on it dimmed rapidly as well.

The beautiful middle-aged woman panted slightly with a worried look in her eyes.

When the middle-aged man saw that, he knew that the divination outcome was bad. Sighing internally, he said, “Ling Long, I know that you’re most worried about Lei’er and Luo’er. Go to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain and bring the two children back.”

“But…”

The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at the middle-aged man with a hesitant expression, filled with worry. “However, back then, it was because I left Green Firmament and saved the child who ascended from Tianhuang Mainland that the Battle Kingdom was almost destroyed.”

“This time round, it’s clear that the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain is here the Battle Kingdom and you. Once I leave this place, the Battle Kingdom and you…”

The middle-aged man smiled gently and consoled, “Don’t worry, this is the best home for me. If I can protect the Battle Kingdom till the end, I won’t have any regrets even if I die here.”

“Take the two children with you. If you return and see that the Battle Kingdom is dead, don’t linger. The rise of the Battle Kingdom is over. Take the children and head straight to the Fiend Domain.”

The middle-aged man extended his thick palm and caressed the halberd in front of the bed. There was no hint of retreat or fear in his eyes. Instead, his fighting spirit was high as he said softly, “I’ll fight with it and accompany every single citizen of the Battle Kingdom to the end!”

The halberd buzzed and trembled, as though it could sense the middle-aged man’s determination.

The beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyes were red as she choked in silence.

She knew that the middle-aged man was saying goodbye to her.

Furthermore, this might be the final farewell between them!

The beautiful middle-aged woman took a deep breath and said, “Let’s wait a little more. Although the outcome of my divination earlier on was not good, there seems to be a variable.”

“Variable?”

The middle-aged man shook his head gently and smiled bitterly. “Since the other party set up such a trap, what variable can there be? Those two children won’t be able to deal with it at all.”

“Furthermore, given your capabilities, what variable is there that you can’t divine?”

The middle-aged man thought that the beautiful middle-aged man was merely comforting him.

A look of confusion flashed through the beautiful middle-aged woman’s eyes. “I’m not sure either. This variable is completely uncatchable and fleeting. The existence of this variable can even escape from my Six Ren Divine Calculation.”

“Oh? There’s such a thing?”

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised.

Right then, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard not far away as two figures sped over.

“Mmm?”

The beautiful middle-aged woman was about to release her spirit consciousness when a shout sounded from outside.

“Father, mother, we’re back!”

The voice was slightly heavy—it was Lin Lei.

The middle-aged man in the hall was the master of the Battle Kingdom, Lin Zhan. The beautiful middle-aged woman was Fairy Ling Long of the lower worlds, the current Immortal Queen Ling Long!

Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long were ecstatic.

In fact, Lin Zhan wanted to stand up and go out to welcome the two children outside. However, he failed to get up and could only sit back down helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, two figures rushed in from outside the chamber—it was Lin Lei and Lin Luo who had returned from the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.

Fairy Ling Long hurried forward and hugged the two of them, bursting into tears of joy.

Even as an Immortal Queen, she could not control her emotions after experiencing such ups and downs.

“It’s good that you’re both back, that’s all that matters.”

Lin Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and tried his best to compose himself, murmuring softly.

“Father, mother, sorry for worrying you guys.”

When Lin Luo saw Fairy Ling Long cry, she felt guilty and said timidly.

Fairy Ling Long let go of the two of them hurriedly and sized them up.

Lin Lei seemed to be slightly injured. However, given his physique and bloodline, he would recover completely after recuperating for a few days.

As for Lin Luo, she returned completely unharmed!

Although the two children were travel-worn, they had thankfully returned safely.

Fairy Ling Long patted Lin Lei on the shoulder and praised with a smile, “Lei’er, not bad. You were able to bring back your sister unscathed.”

Lin Lei looked embarrassed, as though he wanted to explain.

On the other side, Lin Zhan suddenly hollered, “Luo’er, you’re way too insensible! You went out in private without any communication, worrying everyone!”

Initially, Lin Zhan was filled with rage because Lin Luo ran away from home in private.

But now that the two children had returned safe and sound, the anger in his heart had long vanished.

However, he was unwilling to express any joy in front of the two children and intended to make use of this opportunity to teach Lin Luo a lesson.

“Father, I know my mistake now.”

Lin Luo came before the couch and knelt in front of Lin Zhan, saying aggrievedly with a lowered head.

Initially, Lin Zhan had prepared a lot of words to lecture her.

However, when he saw Lin Luo’s pitiful appearance, his heart softened and he coughed gently. “There must not be a next time, get up! I wasn’t worried about you guys, but your mother was fretting the entire time!”

Fairy Ling Long smiled.

Lin Luo stuck out her tongue and stood up with a grin. She went forward and held Lin Zhan’s arm, leaning in with an intimate expression.

“What’s going on?”

Fairy Ling Long looked at Lin Luo and asked, “You’re usually quite obedient, child. Why did you suddenly run away from home without leaving a message for everyone?”

Lin Luo suddenly recalled something and hurriedly took out two items from her storage bag.

There was a medicine bottle and a fruit.

“Father, hurry and eat this Nine Revolutions Yang Reversion Pill and Saraca Fruit to see if your injuries can be healed!” Lin Luo sent the immortal medicine and Saraca Fruit to Lin Zhan.

Nine Revolutions Yang Reversion Pill!

Saraca Fruit!

When Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long heard those two items, their hearts skipped a beat and they were shocked.

“The Nine Revolutions Yang Reversion Pill is a King-grade immortal pill. Where did you obtain it?”

Fairy Ling Long frowned.

Before Lin Luo could reply, she continued, “Even if you had some opportunity and obtained the Nine Revolutions Yang Reversion Pill in a secret ground or ruin, where did you obtain the Saraca Fruit?”

“From what I know, after the Ashoka Tree shattered, the Saraca Fruit can only exist in Avici. How did you…”
