Chapter 1927: Returning to the Return to Origin Hall Once More! Elise Arrives!

"Two things."

Xu Jingming walked to the bedside and sat down, casually pulling Shuang Mian into his embrace.

His large hand slid slowly down her smooth spine, finally coming to rest on that pert, curved contour.

"First, granting me the position of Star Patroller."

"Star Patroller?" Shuang Mian's beautiful eyes lit up. "That's a good thing!"

As a senior high-ranking member of the Eternal Star Alliance, she was well aware of the weight this position carried.

"Second is..."

Xu Jingming paused, then briefly recounted the matter of Venerable Xiyue asking him to kill the Sun-Eclipsing Ruler.

The delicate body in his arms stiffened slightly.

"The Sun-Eclipsing Ruler?"

Ruler Shuang Mian repeated the name in a low voice, her originally lazy expression turning several degrees more serious:

"That demon once destroyed my aunt's hometown.

My aunt has wanted to take revenge with her own hands every moment.

On one hand, the Sun-Eclipsing Ruler hid in the Return to Origin Hall, so she couldn't act.

On the other hand, that guy is also at the End Ruler level; it's hard for anyone below a Realm Venerate to threaten him.

This matter has been dragged on until now.

But who would've thought you'd show up, giving her the chance."

"I see." Xu Jingming nodded.

Ruler Shuang Mian turned around, extending her jade arms to encircle his neck.

She buried that cold, stunningly beautiful face into his chest and said softly:

"Jingming, I know you're strong.

But that Sun-Eclipsing Ruler has been at the End Ruler level for millions of years, stronger than the Star-Eclipse Ruler.

If you don't have absolute certainty, don't be impulsive."

"Rest assured."

Xu Jingming rubbed her ice-blue long hair and smiled:

"I'm not an idiot. Without an opportunity, I absolutely won't act rashly."

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

If there is an opportunity, this matter really can be done!

After all, that's a peak-grade soul-type heavy treasure!

Moreover, this Sun-Eclipsing Ruler himself is also a considerable amount of mass points.

The Divine Kingdom has no sun or moon.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming had already stayed in the Divine Kingdom for seven days.

During these seven days, he spent the vast majority of his time in the sleeping palace.

Weila had just obtained a divine body, right when her interest was most intense, serving in endless variations.

Plus with Shuang Mian, Ling Shuang, and the other women cooperating on the side, that taste was truly...

Xu Jingming even felt that if his willpower were slightly worse.

He might truly become immersed in it and forget cultivation.

Fortunately, he was ultimately a man with a will like iron.

On the morning of the eighth day, he suppressed all the gentle countryside and began preparing to return to the Return to Origin Hall.

At the center of the Divine Kingdom, above the Nine-Layer Thunder Sea.

Xu Jingming stood with hands behind his back, his pitch-black battle clothes fluttering, his entire body's aura restrained like an abyss.

After these seven days of stabilization, his Supreme Ruler realm had become thoroughly solid.

After the Divine Kingdom expanded to one hundred million kilometers, the profundity of the lightning origin also rose another level.

"Yo? Finally willing to come out?"

At this moment, a lazy voice carrying a few hints of mockery came from the side.

He looked toward the sound, only to see in the void not far away.

Ruler Leng Ge stood with arms crossed, silver hair scattered like moonlight, looking at him.

"What? Can't wait already?"

Xu Jingming's sword brows raised slightly.

He and Leng Ge had agreed to return to the Return to Origin Hall together, so they would meet here now.

"I didn't."

Ruler Leng Ge coldly snorted.

She turned her head away, leaving only a section of exquisite, fair side profile for Xu Jingming.

"Good then, let's prepare to return."

Xu Jingming smiled faintly, no longer teasing her, directly using Divine Kingdom teleportation.

"Hum——!"

Brilliant golden divine thunder surged from within his body, and a majestic Divine Kingdom phantom emerged behind him.

The next instant,

Both figures vanished simultaneously, and when they reappeared, they were already on the open ground outside Xu Jingming's villa in the Return to Origin Hall.

"We're back."

Looking at the familiar pale gold sky overhead, Xu Jingming let out a long breath.

Vela was revived, without the companionship of her soul body.

This time, he truly returned as an individual.

As for the Nirvana Life Seed, he also left it in the Divine Kingdom over there.

There, Star Eclipse and the Frost Crown crowd were guarding, making it even safer.

Even if he really encountered some accident outside, he could rely on the Life Seed to revive again and make a comeback.

Just then, his mind suddenly stirred.

The divine sense of his perfected Spirit Refining Technique actually detected a special aura.

That aura carried a hint of familiarity, as well as a hint of allure.

It was like a mark he had personally left behind, gently pulsing.

"This is......?"

Xu Jingming froze for a moment, instinctively looking up.

Only to see in the distance, the horizon.

A Holy Temple emissary wearing the standard robes of the Return to Origin Holy Temple was swiftly flying with a woman toward another direction.

That woman was extremely beautiful.

Her long dark purple hair flowed like a waterfall down to her waist, glowing with a cool sheen under the pale gold sky light.

She wore a dark purple form-fitting long dress, the slit on the side opening up to the base of her thigh.

As she flew, the slit occasionally revealed a long, straight, jade-like leg, her skin fairer than snow.

Her waist was so slender it could not be grasped in one hand, as if a light bend would break it.

Yet moving upward, it contrasted sharply with her breathtaking figure.

Her proud chest strained the dress's neckline, high and taut, full and perky, with an astonishing curve.

Every inch of her rise and fall carried deadly tension, trembling slightly with her breath.

As if the fabric might burst at any moment, threatening to spill out.

A pair of small, dark red curved horns protruded from her forehead, not appearing ferocious but instead adding a touch of allure.

Behind her, a slender heart-shaped tail swayed gently, the tip tracing an enticing arc in the wind.

It was none other than Ilyas!

"Ilyas? She actually came to the Return to Origin Holy Temple too?"

Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised.

The pattern he had left on Ilyas's abdomen back then was merely for amusement.

Slightly carrying a positioning function, that was all—he never expected it to actually come in handy now.

Letting him know Ilyas had arrived at the Holy Temple.

Xu Jingming discovered Ilyas, and Ilyas in midair also discovered Xu Jingming on the ground.

"Is that Xu Jingming? The target my mother asked me to approach?

But why does this aura feel so inexplicably familiar?"

Ilyas's purple eyes flickered, doubt rising in her heart.

Especially the unique aura faintly emanating from Xu Jingming's entire body.

It made her demonic holy body slightly heat up, as if craving something.

"What's going on?"

Ilyas furrowed her brows.

But now was not the time to study this.

Ilyas quickly composed herself and flew off with the Holy Temple emissary.

'Judging by the aura, Ilyas should have also broken through to the Sovereign level; otherwise, she wouldn't have come to this Return to Origin Holy Temple for cultivation.'

Xu Jingming silently pondered in his heart.

This was not surprising either.

Ilyas had the mother of the Nether Phoenix Venerable, a realm-level demon, and she herself had awakened the Demonic Holy Body.

Breaking through to Sovereign was naturally a matter of course.

Xu Jingming faintly formed a guess in his heart.

The insect race had transmitted the images of that battle across the universe; the demon race could not have failed to see them.

As the Nether Phoenix Venerable, most familiar with the *True Demon Treasure Canon* among demons, she must have already grown suspicious.

Now Ilyas happened to appear at the Return to Origin Holy Temple......

"Is she here to test me?"

Xu Jingming's eyes flickered slightly.

But no matter what scheme the other party had in mind.

As long as he did not admit it, no one could link him to the Blood Abyss.

If not necessary, he indeed did not want to expose the fact that he was the Blood Abyss.

So for now, he had no plan to approach Ilyas.

"Tsk, your divine sense is even sharper than the most advanced star radar of our Eternal Star Alliance."

Beside him, the Sovereign Ling Ge couldn't help but speak:

"As soon as a beautiful woman flies by, you immediately sense her.

But I must remind you, that is a demon race, not our human race."

"Then I won't trouble you to worry about it."

Xu Jingming glanced at her, ignored her further, and turned to walk toward his own villa.

"Ungrateful! You'll fall into a woman's hands sooner or later!"

Lord Lin Ge huffed softly, watching his retreating figure, so angry she bit her silver teeth in secret.

But in the end, she could only harbor stifled resentment, and likewise flew off toward her own villa.

Only the empty courtyard remained, and a barely audible mutter:

"What's so good-looking about that demon woman......"
