God's Realm.

This realm was the highest realm a cultivator could reach, as this was just below the Rou Celestial Realm. Here, it was said to be the haven of all the cultivators.

This world was large enough to accomodate twice of the Starlight realm. Besides this, the qi here was denser compared to the previous worlds and one had a greater chance to make a breakthrough. Not to mention that, the dao runes here were also stronger, a variable that could help a cultivator become stronger.

And to top it all, this place was home for the strongest existences below the Zenith Gods, the True Gods of the godhood path, and Progenitors of the imperial path.

In a vast wild plain filled with white-colored grasses. A large golden gate opened up in the middle. Next, a youth with a black long hair appeared out of it.

His appearance could be criticized as only above average. But one would feel a sudden and comfortable attraction to him. Though he may not have distinguished features, his face was innocent enough like a baby, which was in fact, charming in a sense.

"God's Realm, huh..." Jin Rou said as he felt a sudden dense qi trying to enter his body the moment he stepped out of the gate. It seemed like the qi was quite attracted to him that it voluntarily offered itself to him.

Of course, the qi couldn't enter easily as Jin Rou could only accept a qi with 100% purity as the qi inside his body only had this.

"Grandmother told me to go to Templar Clan to retrieve an item, but I don't even know where is that." Jin Rou massaged his temple. His grandmother gave him a task to get an item before going home. And since it seemed very crucial, Jin Rou agreed. This was his first time here on God's Realm. So, he had no general idea of this idea except that this place had True Gods and Progenitors.

"I should've asked for the coordinates..." Jin Rou wanted to slap his forehead.

After few minutes passed, Jin Rou stopped being depressed and activated his eyes, trying to familiarize his self to with the place in the vicinity of a thousand kilometer. He knew that sulking there wouldn't move him forward so he decided to snap out of it and think of a way. Though this world was so vast, finding this clan wasn't as difficult as he seemed it to be.

After familiarizing himself, he found a nearby town. There, he could ask people around if they knew something about the Templar Clan.

And when he confirmed the location, he flew off his way without further ado. The nearest town was almost 200 kilometers away from him. Thus, it might take several minutes before reaching it.

"No, please! Not my child! I beg you!" After a few minutes of flying, Jin Rou heard a woman's voice with a desperate tone. He could hear the despair and grieve of the woman. Thus, he couldn't help but take a halt and looked over.

Below him, was an almost naked woman hugging a child, particularly it was a boy with a tender age. Opposite of them were three yellow-robed women. Each of them had a vicious expression, and the way they looked at the naked woman was like she was a fish on a chopping board, her head at their mercy.

"Xi Xi, you can't blame us." The woman with a short black hair said, "You know that our sect isn't in favor of its members getting pregnant or bearing a child. Not to mention that, romantic relationships with men are also prohibited. Why must you be so hard-headed?"

The tone of the woman was so condescending and disdainful. She was clearly not giving the naked woman named Xi Xi even a little bit of respect.

"I know, it's a sin for me to bear and the consequences I must accept." Xi Xi hugged the boy tightly and said, "But my son has nothing to do with this, so spare him! I'm ready to come with you so leave my son alone."

"Unfortunately, that can't be done." The short-haired woman shook her head, as if feeling helpless, "Your son has inherited your flesh and blood, so obviously, he can also learn the systems that only the sect members have the right to learn. We can't take it if an outsider might spread our blood and legacy. Though, if he's a girl, we might have considered taking him."

In shorter terms, this was a blatant refusal. And this was not up for negotiation. They were eager to kill the boy so that future complications wouldn't occur.

"No!" Xi Xi didn't bulge, and still hugged her son dearly, "I won't let you kill my son."

"That's not up for you to decide, Xi Xi." The short-haired woman sneered in disdain, "Not because you were the greatest genius in the past, you still are right now. Remember, the moment you fell in love with a man, you have already fallen down. You and your son are a disgrace to the Misty Ocean Sect!"

After which, she equipped a whip with torns all around it, "So accept your death!"

Xi Xi used her back as a shield to protect her son to this incoming attack. She was powerless now, so all she could do was become a meatshield to protect her son.

She couldn't help but close her eyes in despair. A slight sliver of hope was in her that someone, perhaps, might be there and save them. However, she was not hoping that much. She was just wishing dearly that her son could run safely after this as she was thinking to detonate herself to buy time for her son to escape.

"Hmph. Useless attempt." The short-haired woman sneered and said, "You two will still die here, no matter what!"

Then, she threw the whip with a murderous intent. She was planning to kill the two with a single shot.

Unfortunately, her attack didn't reach her target for some reason.
