Chapter 1044: True Heart Pill
Since most of them were busy clearing out the beasts non-stop, Ling Yun and the others didn’t realize that three days had already passed since they started challenging the 31st floor. However, they only managed to reach the 33rd floor in three days, especially since those beasts outnumbered them, and their numbers would continue to increase as they climbed to higher floors.
On the third day, Xiao Xiao asked Ling Yun to stop because her parents were leaving the tower. This was because Feng Huang couldn’t stay in the ice coffin all the time, and she needed the cold of the frostmoon domain to recover.
Ling Yun himself had no problem with that, especially since Zhou Yu had told him that Zhu Ling and the spirit race members had yet to start challenging the tower, so the distance between them was already quite far, and those people would have a hard time catching up to them.
In addition, Zhou Yu tells Ling Yun that she asked Long Tianhuo to take care of Jing Shen, but he couldn’t do anything about Zhu Ling, especially since the consequences would be too heavy for him.
Ling Yun actually didn’t like Zhou Yu’s plan, especially since he wanted to defeat Zhu Ling and Jing Shen with his own hands. Even so, he was fully aware of his own strength, and he wouldn’t be able to defeat them anytime soon, so he chose to agree with it for the sake of Xiao Xiao’s safety.
However, Ling Yun was surprised when Long Tianhuo told him that he would go to the Earth Cloud Realm to capture Hundun in order to help Feng Huang get revenge, and he would also do something against Gu Tianchong, who was the leader of the heretics.
After they talked for a while, Long Tianhuo asked Zhou Yu to send him and Feng Huang out of the mysterious tower. However, Ling Yun remembered something and bought a pill from the system shop, and he immediately gave it to his father-in-law. “You can use this true heart pill on Jing Shen, and its effect will force him to reveal all of his crimes to Zhu Ling.
That way, the spirit emperor might think twice about chasing us, and he might bring his advisor back to the spirit realm right away.”
After that, Ling Yun also gave several other pills to his father-in-law, and they were flawless-grade healing pills.
Both of them looked at Ling Yun in shock as Long Tianhuo received those pills. “Kid, there are so many kinds of healing pills in the supreme realm, and I have used them on your mother-in-law, but none of them can cure her injuries.
I am not an alchemist, but I am quite familiar with pills, and your healing pills are different from the ones I gave her in the past, so she will probably be able to recover completely.”
“I hope so.” Ling Yun replied with a smile. “For now, you only need to heal my mother-in-law; you don’t need to think about us. After my business in this tower is finished, I plan to bring Xiao’er and the others into seclusion to increase our cultivation, and we might not come out for a few years.
I will strive hard to reach the middle stage of the five god realms, and I will take them to the supreme realm if I can reach it by then.”
“Oh?” Long Tianhuo and Feng Huang were not the only ones surprised by Ling Yun’s plan; even Xiao Xiao and the others were surprised, except for Ling Xi and Zhou Yu.
Long Feng then asked Ling Yun. “Are you really going to take them away to the supreme realm at that time, brother-in-law?”
“Yes.” Ling Yun nodded in response to Long Feng. “I don’t mean to brag about my strength, especially since my cultivation is still in the ten mortal realms. However, you guys have witnessed my current strength, and you should know that it has almost surpassed that of cultivators in these upper realms, especially if I use my complete dragon form.
That’s why I thought about bringing them to the supreme realm faster, and we will grow faster there.”
“That’s right!” Long Feng answered with an exclamation. “Although the quality and quantity of Qi in the upper realms are quite good, they are still inferior to those in the supreme realm, so it would be better for all of you to go there sooner, and Sister Yu can assist you with that.
You are our family, so our realm will always be open to all of you, and you guys can cultivate in peace there, especially since not many people dare to go against my father directly.”
However, Ling Yun shook his head at Long Feng before answering him. “Although you are our family, I still don’t want to rely on you all the time, so I will take them to find the most suitable place for us. After all, we are all cultivators, and we can only grow into better cultivators if we face the obstacles that come our way.”
“Hahaha!” Long Tianhuo laughed and patted Ling Yun’s shoulder. “I really like your mindset, kid. I’ve heard your story from Xiao’er and the others, and I can see significant changes in you compared to when you first started your cultivation path.
Back then, you always relied on the spirit of lust to help you, but now you have already dared to make decisions for your future, and that is the best thing. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the conditions in the supreme realm are significantly harsher than those in the upper realms, particularly because of the abundance of cultivators in the three immortal realms.
This means you will encounter even more formidable obstacles, as they can kill you before you can blink. Since you’ve made this decision, you should better prepare yourself and the others so that you won’t cower in fear when you arrive at the supreme realm, and we will wait for you there.
“Don’t worry, father-in-law. I won’t disappoint you, and I won’t let you wait too long either.” Long Tianhuo nodded to Ling Yun, then turned to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu immediately opened a void connecting to the outside of the tower, and he took Feng Huang away. “Let’s go! We should continue our fight, and we will rest if most of them are already exhausted.”

Meanwhile, Long Tianhuo and Feng Huang had arrived outside the tower, so the two of them immediately looked for the whereabouts of Zhu Ling and the members of the spirit race.
After they found them, Long Tianhuo immediately brought his wife away, and they arrived in front of Zhu Ling a few moments later, which shocked him and the others.
“Why did you come to see us?” Zhu Ling directly questioned Long Tianhuo, but he raised his eyebrows as their two guests only looked at Jing Shen. “What-”
*Crack… Crack… Crack…*
Before Zhu Ling could finish his question, Feng Huang had already taken the initiative by freezing Lei Zhong and the other spirit guardians, which shocked him. “You don’t need to try to melt my ice, especially since you guys are too weak to do so.”
Seeing the two’s glances at him, Jing Shen felt a bad feeling and wanted to escape from that place. However, Long Tianhuo immediately moved in front of him, strangled his neck, and forced him to swallow the true heart pill.
*Bam*
“Guah!” Jing Shen screamed in pain as soon as he was slammed onto the ground, and Long Tianhuo immediately stepped on his chest. “Guah!”
“Wait a minute!” Zhu Ling immediately shouted to stop Long Tianhuo. “Tell me! Why did you suddenly attack us? We didn’t have any problems before, so you can’t attack us like this.”
“Why don’t you ask your beloved advisor?” Zhu Ling frowned at Long Tianhuo’s question before looking at Jing Shen. “You guys already know that Ling Yun’s other wives and families live in the Sky Cloud Realm, right? Since that child is my son-in-law, I consider his other wives and families to be my own family members.
This guy sent the remaining five immortal spirits to attack them, and he also ordered them to kill them, so it was natural for me to attack him, right? Unfortunately, he underestimated my son-in-law and the people around him, and they had prepared strong people to protect them, so they failed to carry out their duties.”
Zhu Ling, Jing Shen, and the spirit guardians were truly shocked by Long Tianhuo’s confession that Ling Yun was his son-in-law.
Zhu Ling then looked at Long Tianhuo and asked. “Is it true that Ling Yun is your son-in-law?”
“That’s right.” Feng Huang answered Zhu Ling’s question. “One of his wives is our lost daughter, and we only met her after more than three decades. However, I didn’t expect that she would already be Ling Yun’s wife, and your evil advisor tried to kill their family members. Moreover, you must be curious about his secret, right?
Soon, you will get the answers to everything, including the disappearance of the previous spirit emperor.”
Feng Huang’s words shocked Zhu Ling even more. “Is that the effect of the pill?”
Long Tianhuo nodded to Zhu Ling. “That pill is the true heart pill, and its effect will force this guy to reveal everything.”
