Volume 3 - Chapter 27(Martial Universe(Part 1))
No matter where one's eyes go, the only thing they could see was greenness. Grass, flowers, trees, birds, and so on were the only things that were there. This place was inside a mountain range. Raising his head, Primis saw an enormous curtain of light spanning several tens of thousands of feet flow down from the sky like a dome. Its size was so overwhelming that it appeared as though even day and night were under it.
He can see numerous large halls within the light curtain that gave off an ancient and vicissitude aura. Wind sounds echoed endlessly in the skies within this dome, and if one looked down from above, you could see many ant-like figures charging through the clouds with an indescribable ancient majestic feeling.
Primis inhaled a deep breath of cool air. Giving one last glance at the light curtain that seemingly covered the sky, he turned towards an enormous mountain in the distance. That mountain was releasing an ancient aura. Levitating into the sky, Primis flew towards that mountain.
He ignored everything that was going around since he could see everything, courtesy of Elemental-Sight again. Because of that he already knew where he was right now. Once he reached the mountain, he looked down on a huge palace in front. And the name of the palace was written on the board above its door.
Primis: Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace.
Murmured Primis as he looked at the one of the eight great Super Sects of the Eastern part of this Xuan Continent. Inside the palace there were many people. And all of them were strong according to this world standard. The weakest ones among them was at "Profound Life Stage(Level 9)". The medium ones were at "Profound Death Stage(Level 10)". And the strongest one was at "Samsara Stage(Level 11 Pseudo-God)".
Primis: That woman at "Samsara Stage(Level 11 Pseudo-God)" is the Sect master of this Super Sect. As expected, unlike Yuan Gate and Dao Sect, other six Super Sects only have one "Samsara Stage(Level 11 Pseudo-God)" expert. No wonder they were destroyed by Yuan Gate in future since they have Three "Samsara Stage(Level 11 Pseudo-God)" experts.
Moving his gaze away from the Palace, Primis looked at the deepest part of this mountain.
Primis: Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace. The place from where my first Battle Maid Ling Qingzhu originated from. It's time for our first meeting.
Next, he flew towards where he had a hypothesis, he could meet Ling Qingzhu. Other times, his Elemental-Sight would have told him the location of his goal, but not this time. That's because his Elemental-Sight range is 5Km/50 Km/500Km. However, all super sects covered the areas millions square kilometers. So, he could only check each place one by one or release his magic to cover this entire sect or the world or many other ways to find her. Still, he decided to go with the first way to take his time.
After flying to the deeper part of the sect, Primis landed and started walking. This was the core part of the sect where its core disciples reside. There were many disciples here. Some were chatting among themselves, some were fighting and exchanging pointers with each other, some were doing group practice and so on.
Primis: The minimum requirement to enter the super sect is that you must be at least "Nirvana Stage(Level 8)" expert. And to be core disciple you must at least be 5th Nirvana Stage(Level 8 with Stats: E) Expert.

Primis walked past all of them. Yet, no one noticed him since he was hiding his presence like always. If the news about how someone infiltrated one of the Super Sect without anyone realizing it spread, then it will be a great blow to Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace's reputation.
As Primis was walking leisurely, he thought about his conversation with Twilight before coming here.

PITTER!!!
PATTER!!!
PITTER!!!
PATTER!!!
...…
...
…
The rain was falling on the window and the sound of pitter patter could be heard inside the room.
Kurome: ZZ...…ZZ......ZZ...…ZZ
After eating and talking, Kurome finally fell asleep. Her head was on Sheng Ming's lap while one of her hands was tightly holding Ais's hand. Not that surprising since Sheng Ming had a motherly like aura to her as a Goddess of Life and Ais appeared to be just like her Big Sister to Kurome. Sheng Ming was gently caressing Kurome's hair as she looked at her sleeping face. Both she and Ais had a gentle smile on their face.
Primis and Ophis were still in front of the window and were looking outside. Even though currently Kurome was with Sheng Ming and Ais, without Primis presence she won't be able to sleep so peacefully. At this time, Primis decided to leave.
'Primis: Time to go and see Akame.'
However, just when he turned, Twilight spoke.
[Primis, you need to move.]
'Primis: What happened?'
[It's about your Battle Maids.]
Primis frowned hearing this.
'Primis: Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan.'
[Um. I told you before that the one responsible for their death is trying to get their souls to turn them into his nourishment or puppets.]
'Primis: Heavenly Evil Monarch.'
[Or Saint God maybe. Anyway, just like your permanent members, Battle Maids are also unique existence. Yet, because of their connections with previous worlds and the interference of some 'pests', I am having trouble turning them into unique. If I do it patiently then it will take some decades. If I do it forcefully then it will leave a damage in the souls.]
'Primis: So, what method you came up with?'
[A Third one. Since they haven't become unique yet, their counterparts still exist in other parallel worlds. Hence, I choose one of those parallel worlds and connected them with their counterparts.]
'Primis: What parallel world is that?'
[In that parallel world, Lin Dong didn't have the Ancestral Stone and was merely an ordinary young man of the Lin Family that was dedicated to the family. He put great effort into his cultivation for the sake of revenge on the most dazzling genius of the Lin Clan. However, he did not have the patience to silently endure this time. Although he made the Lin Family the strongest family in Qingyang Town through his efforts, his hatred towards Lin Langtian was leaked, hence drawing killing intent. As a result----]
'Primis: He was killed by Lin Langtian.'
[Along with all his family.]
'Primis: ...............…'
Primis remained silent for some time before taking a deep sigh inwardly. Next, a glint passed through his cold eyes.
'Primis: Since this so-called Lin Langtian is now the rising star and the successor of the Lin Clan, Lin Clan don't need to exist anymore.'
[You can prevent Lin Dong's death though.]
'Primis: Oh. I am listening.'
[You will go to that world at the time-period when Ling Qingzhu was still a little girl and was about to start her cultivation. I think you already have the answer to your question now.]
'Primis: Hmm. Age is only numbers to Cultivators. Even if they are more than 100 or 1,000 years old, they would still appear to be in their 20s or 30s. Even though it was not told specifically, Ling Qingzhu was actually older than Lin Dong. And since she was just about to start her cultivation, this means Lin Dong must have been recently born.'
[Precisely. So, you can prevent his death.]
'Primis: I see. Anyway, what I have to do once I am there.'
[You must made contact with Ling Qinzhu. As for what to do after, I am sure you will figure it out yourself. After all, she is 'your' Battle Maid.]
Raising one of his brows, Primis spoke.
'Primis: What about Ying Huanhuan?'
[You will figure it out too.]
'Primis: ..................…'
[........................…]
'Primis: ..................…'
[........................…]
'Primis: ..................…'
[........................…]
'Primis: *sigh* Will there be any interference?'
[Of Course. That Heavenly Evil Monarch or Saint God will for sure get in your way. Since, they need both Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan souls, combining them with their counterpart made it both difficult and easier for them.]
Narrowing his eyes, Primis spoke.
'Primis: Difficult because now that their souls are in another parallel world, they must find a way to travel to contact that world.'
[Correct.]
'Primis: Easy because once they entered that world, they can easily get both Ling Qingzhu and Yin Huanhaun since their souls have completely merged with their counterparts and can't escape this time.'
[Right again.]
'Primis: Hmm. Since I must go to another world, this means Ophis, Sheng Ming, and Ais will also come with me since they are my Permanent-Members.'
[No, they won't. Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan are your Battle Maids and are connected to you just like your Permanent-Members. Because Permanent-Members must remain by your side no matter which world you go, this also applies to Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan. But they are currently not with you, yet, still connected to you.]
Realization struck Primis as he spoke.
'Primis: So, you connected both that world and this world. Turning both into a single one.'
[Temporarily but yes. Once you are done, the connection between them will sever and everything will return to normal again.]
'Primis: I see. So, I can't take others with me.'
[Yes.]
'Primis: One more question. What is the time ratio between both worlds.'
[1:1]
Nodding his head, Primis turned and walked up to Sheng Ming and Ais. They turned their head towards him.
Primis: I am leaving for some time.
Sheng Ming & Ais: Huh?
Primis: I can't take any of you there. If something happens, I am sure Sheng Ming, you can handle it with ease. But if it was still difficult then you can ask your Eldest Sister. She will handle it.
This time it was Ophis turn to get confused.
Ophis: You are not taking me?
Primis: Um.
Raising one of his brows, Ophis spoke.
Ophis: Where are you going?
Primis: Another world. Or you can say another timeline. Because of someone's interference, Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuna awakening is being delayed.
Ophis: When you will return?
Primis: Maybe in an hour or so. Since we are connected, I can come and go without any trouble.
Ophus: *nod* Ok.
Sheng Ming: Go, Husband. We will take care if something happens.
Ais: ?????? My Lord? Who is Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan?
Primis: They are my Battle Maids. Unlike you who are my personal guard, Battle Maids are my army.
Ais: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This really came as a shock to Ais. She then hurriedly calmed herself and spoke.
Ais: My Lord, as your sword I should always be by your side. I will come with you.
Primis: Ais. It's not that I don't want to take any of you with me, it's just I can't. The connection between this world and the one where my Battle Maids currently are is very fragile. Only one person can come and go. The moment more will come, the connection will break. Understand?
Ais: ........................Um.
Lowering her head, Ais nodded. Taking a sigh, Primis patted Ais head to calm her before turning to other two.
Primis: I am leaving. Meet you both in a few hours.
Ophis: Ok.
Sheng Ming: Yes, Husband.
Next, Primis closed his eyes and his body disappeared into thin air. Leaving only Ophis, Sheng Ming, Ais, and sleeping Kurome in the room.
