ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

'Stupid cunt...' Yun Wuji cast Mu Xiaolan a fleeting contemptuous glance and thought to himself. He had never liked this irritating girl in the slightest. She was the perfect combination of everything undesirable in a woman, and the only thing that saved her from complete universal disdain was that she possessed reasonably decent looks.

Of course, Yun Wuji didn't care about her appearance in the least.

Yun Wuji took the Primordial Ark, which was currently the size of his fist, and threw it high into the air. It expanded rapidly to hundreds of meters in length, its massive door flashing open with brilliant light. Led by Feng Qianhui and Gong Yuxian, the women from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and Yun Wuji's wives emerged gracefully from within the Primordial Ark.

"So this is the legendary God Realm?" one of them wondered aloud as they gazed upon their new surroundings.

"The spiritual aura is so incredibly dense that it's suffocating!" Feng Hanxue exclaimed as she felt her senses becoming completely disoriented. She stumbled unsteadily and nearly collapsed to the ground, her breathing becoming increasingly labored and difficult.

Compared to the spiritual aura found throughout the Blue Pole Star, the energy here was far purer and exponentially denser in concentration. For those who had grown accustomed to the relatively thin aura of the Blue Pole Star, their senses were completely overwhelmed by this new environment, and they simply couldn't adapt to such intensity quickly enough.

But this was perfectly normal, as all people who ascended to the God Realm would inevitably suffer through this adjustment process and would need to spend a considerable amount of time adapting to the overwhelmingly powerful aura present throughout the God Realm.

"Bingyun, I brought them with me," Yun Wuji quickly erected a protective barrier that isolated the overwhelming aura from the outside and spoke directly to Mu Bingyun. "I hope you will help them gradually adapt to the intense spiritual aura present here."

He then addressed his women with reassuring words, "You don't need to push yourselves too hard. Everyone ascending from the lower realms must go through this exact same process. Even if you require a long time to adjust, it is completely normal. Most people take several months to adapt to this environment fully, so please take all the time you need, alright?"

"Don't worry, husband. We are not that fragile," Cang Yue smiled gracefully, understanding that Yun Wuji was concerned about this situation affecting their pride and making them feel somehow inferior.

"Alright, I still have something important to deal with quickly. I'll see you all later," Yun Wuji nodded, and his body transformed into a brilliant silver flash before he disappeared completely, heading directly toward the Ice Phoenix Sacred Region.

Chu Yuechan took a small step forward and bowed respectfully before Mu Bingyun. "Junior disciple of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Chu Yuechan, respectfully greets the Great Ancestor Master."

Although she and the others had previously met Mu Bingyun when Yun Wuji had brought her to the Blue Pole Star, and she had even requested that they stop addressing her with such formal titles, how could they possibly do so in such a casual manner? The proper etiquette and respect had to be maintained regardless of her personal preferences.

"We respectfully greet the Great Ancestor Master!" The other disciples all bowed down in unison, offering their formal greetings to Mu Bingyun.

A bit caught off guard by their seriousness and formality, Mu Bingyun shook her head smilingly. "It is okay. Mu Bingyun of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace 'passed away' at least a thousand years ago. Today, that past is long behind me, and I am simply Mu Bingyun of the Snow Song Realm. You do not need to call me great ancestor master."

"In that case..." Feng Hanyue looked up hopefully from her respectful bow. "Would it be acceptable if I called you sister instead?"

All of Yun Wuji's women who originated from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace were actually feeling tremendously awkward about the entire situation. After Yun Wuji had returned, he had openly told them about his romantic relationship with Mu Bingyun.

Although they had all somewhat expected it, sensing the vibe between the two back then, it still shocked them and made things incredibly awkward. After all, their revered Great Ancestor was now their husband's lover, completely messing up the seniority!

The question made the usually unflappable Mu Bingyun break into a wide smile. "Of course! In fact, I would be absolutely delighted if you would call me that."

"Sister Bingyun!" Feng Hanyue's face brightened considerably as she immediately changed her form of address. Among all the women present, she and her twin sister were by far the most innocent and playful individuals. They both didn't place much importance on traditional concepts of seniority and hierarchy, so she didn't feel anything particularly strange or inappropriate about calling her former Great Ancestor simply 'sister' instead.

'Sigh, Wuji really needs to control his rizz. If he keeps this up, who knows how many women will end up bewitched and seduced by him?' Chu Yuechan and the other women watched the scene and sighed inwardly.

Yun Wuji's charm was simply too overwhelmingly strong, too devastatingly effective for most women to withstand. One would be hard pressed to find any woman capable of resisting him.

Even the two most beautiful women in the entire world, Shen Xi and Qianye Ying'er, had completely fallen for him despite their extraordinary status and power, so what hope did other women possibly have against him?

"You are Yuechan, right?" Mu Bingyun walked over to Chu Yuechan and gently took her hands in her own. "Wuji told me about your pregnancy, and I have never seen him so genuinely excited about anything before. This actually made me feel somewhat envious, to be honest."

"Since you are already in the late stages of your pregnancy, it would be quite dangerous if you were to be negatively affected by the overwhelming spiritual aura here."

Chu Yuechan was already in her seventh month of pregnancy, yet Yun Wuji had still brought her along to the God Realm. Naturally, this wasn't because he was being careless or reckless with her well-being, but rather because he had already taken every conceivable precaution to ensure her safety.

Additionally, Chu Yuechan wasn't nearly as fragile as an ordinary expectant mother might be, given that she had already reached the Divine Origin Realm in her cultivation. By mortal standards, she was essentially a goddess in her own right.

"I will be in your care, Great... I mean, sister Bingyun," Chu Yuechan responded, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the genuine care and concern being shown to her by her former Great Ancestor.

Mu Bingyun was the Palace Master of the Ice Phoenix 36th Palace and the second most powerful individual in the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. After recovering, she hadn't recruited any disciples aside from Yun Wuji, so the huge palace was actually empty.

The Ice Phoenix Palace might be called a 'Palace,' but its size was hundreds of times larger than the Yun Palace. It could easily accommodate tens of thousands of disciples without any problem.

Mu Bingyun guided the girls, showing them their respective rooms and cultivation chambers.

"Feixue?" Just at that moment, Mu Bingyun suddenly noticed a graceful white figure drifting toward them through the air. She smiled lightly and asked, "Did you come here looking for Wuji?"

"Palace Master Bingyun," Mu Feixue landed gracefully on the ground and bowed respectfully in greeting. She glanced briefly at the large group of women gathered behind her before answering, "I heard that Senior Brother Yun Wuji had returned."

"Indeed, he went to the Sacred Region," Mu Bingyun replied, giving her a knowing look.

Back when Yun Wuji first arrived at the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, he displayed a level of talent that caught everyone's attention. Many Elders and Palace Masters nearly fought over him before he chose Mu Bingyun. After that, Mu Feixue's grandfather, Mu Huanzhi, discreetly arranged for her to get close to Yun Wuji, so from time to time she would visit him under the guise of helping him become familiar with the sect.

Just like that, their relationship had gradually warmed up over time, and when one day she happened to taste his cooking by pure chance, her visits became significantly more frequent. She became 'slightly' addicted to his delicious food and would sometimes come by just to sneak a bite for herself.

However, at that time, Yun Wuji was completely focused on Mu Xuanyin and didn't have any spare time or attention to devote to Mu Feixue, so their relationship didn't seem to progress much beyond casual friendship.

Or at least, that was what he had believed at the time...

"Is that so?" Mu Feixue spoke quietly, and disappointment flashed unmistakably in her eyes before they quickly regained their usual cold and distant expression. "In that case, I won't bother you any further, Palace Master," she said as she bowed lightly and turned gracefully to leave.

"So you are Mu Feixue. Wuji has mentioned you many times, and you are indeed as beautiful as he described," Chi Yuechan spoke up at that moment. She was genuinely surprised by Mu Feixue, though not because of her beauty, but rather due to her distinctive temperament. It was remarkably similar to her own personality from years past. Just looking at her evoked a strange sense of nostalgia within her.

"And you are?" Mu Feixue gazed at this apparently pregnant woman with curiosity and asked politely.

"I am Wuji's wife. Would you mind showing us around the sect?" Chi Yuechan drifted closer to her and asked with a warm, gentle smile.

...

Yun Wuji bypassed the barrier with ease and arrived at the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake.

Mu Xuanyin was still 'educating' the Upper Star Realms in the Eastern Divine Region alongside Luo Guxie and didn't have time to return to the Snow Song Realm. As a result, there was no one in the Sacred Region aside from him.

However, this time he hadn't come to see Mu Xuanyin, but rather to meet with a certain Divine Being. Yun Wuji took a step forward and plunged directly into the frigid waters of the lake. His speed increased exponentially as he continued to fall rapidly through the depths, and in a short time, he landed at the bottom of the lake.

He stood directly before the luminous blue sphere that illuminated the entire lake bed with its mystical glow, and spoke clearly, "Ice Phoenix, are you awake?"

"Yun Wuji... You have returned?" The soft, ethereal voice of the woman sealed within that radiant blue sphere sounded in Yun Wuji's mind.

"Yes, you should have learned about this, but I have already conquered the God Realm. Soon, I will be crowned as the one and only Emperor in the God Realm," Yun Wuji said casually. "But I know you are not interested in this."

"This time, I came to show you something important."

"Something important?" the Ice Phoenix asked with a confused voice. Something that Yun Wuji would describe as important must surely be of great and significant consequence. What could it possibly be?

"It's this. Are you familiar with it?" Yun Wuji opened his palm, revealing what appeared to be a plain jade seal resting in his hand.

"The Primordial Seal of Life and Death!" the Ice Phoenix exclaimed in astonishment. Her voice shook the entire lake, sending ripples across its surface.
