"It has nothing to do with me," The Servant muttered as he left the place."Our new home. This place is definitely better than the last one," Valeria told Xu Ming as she saw the inside of the courtyard.
"Yeah, it"s good," Xu Ming muttered, but his mind was clearly on the necklace.
Xu Ming walked to the bedroom and laid on his bed before he started observing the necklace.
"Don"t worry, mother. I already know of a way to heal you. You will soon be free from the bindings of time," Xu Ming muttered as he looked at the small coffin.
"Congrats on getting back the necklace. From the way I see it, you already achieved the first of your three targets. Only two more to go," she said to him.
"My three targets?" Xu Ming asked her.
"Yeah. Getting back the necklace, healing your mother, and killing that traitor. The second target will be completed when we leave this place and then the third one. After that, you will become the ruler of Heavens," Valeria said to him.
"Oh, You forgot one then. I don"t have 3, but 4 targets. One of them is to help you get back home so that you can give me the herbs that I need and also so that you can get your revenge," Xu Ming said.
Valeria laughed out loud.
"Right, right. That should be important as well," Valeria told him with a grin on her face.
She walked towards him and laid on the bed as well.
Xu Ming kept the necklace in his storage ring.
"Why did you put it in your ring? Aren"t you going to wear it?" Valeria asked him.
"She deserves to be in the safest place. I don"t want the necklace to be damaged if something unexpected happens," Xu Ming replied to her.
"If that"s that you want," Valeria let out as she shook her head.
"Anyway, I"m going to sleep. It had been so long in that forest since I had a peaceful sleep. Good night," Valeria told Xu Ming.
"Good night," Xu Ming responded.
He sat up and walked into the shower room to take a nice shower.
He came out after some time, dried his hair, and wore a cleaner set of clothes before he walked back to his bed.
He laid on his bed and closed his eyes. Soon, he also fell asleep.

In this Vast Universe, there were thousands of planets and millions of species. All of these were created by only two beings, but both of them had disappeared from this universe like they were nothing but a fleeting dream.
There were many relics of the past left undiscovered in this Vast universe. There were treasures, miraculous plants, and even some strange ruins. From the first glance, it was clear that mere mortals couldn"t have built these places.
Even those immortals had no chance to build something so incredible.
One of these places was an ancient ruin that was filled with nothing but darkness.
There were two people outside the ruin trying to break inside. These two people were experts in entering various ancient ruins, but entering this specific ruin was turning out to be a difficult feat.
They had stayed here for a long time, trying to enter this place, but it was just too hard. After all this time, they had barely managed to get near the entrance of the ruins, and they had almost died many times.
They didn"t give up in the face of dangers, though. They only grew more excited about the danger of the ruin as they had discovered that, in most cases, the difficulty of entering a ruin signified how precious the thing inside the ruin was.
From the way things had gone so far, they were sure that the ruins contained the things that were miraculous enough to change the history of this world.
They spent another four days, and ultimately, they succeeded. Even though they succeeded in entering the ruins, they had to pay a high cost.
They lost all their treasures that they had found from other ruins just to pa.s.s through the formations and the traps that would"ve killed anyone.
They entered the ruins excitedly, but they only found darkness inside.
They brought out a rod from their storage ring that started s.h.i.+ning and lit up the surroundings.
"Let"s go deeper. I don"t think we will find the treasures in the outskirts of the ruins. Be careful, though. There might be dangers inside," one of the men said.
"Hehehe, Are you forgetting that I"m just as knowledgeable as you. I know how these things go," the other guy replied.
They walked deeper into the ruins.

It was early morning when Xu Ming woke up by a knock on his door.
He walked to the door and found the Sect Master"s Servant outside.
"Come with me," the Servant said.
"Give me a minute," Xu Ming said as he walked back into his room. He understood what he wanted.
"Who is it?" Valeria asked Xu Ming.
She had also woken up by the sound.
"It"s that servant. He should be here to bring me to the Sect Master. Are you coming?" he asked her.
"Of course," Valeria said as she flew up and sat on his shoulder.
Xu Ming left the courtyard and got on the flying beast of the Sect Master that had come with the servant.
"Are we not going to the Sect Master"s place?" Xu Ming asked as he noticed that the direction they were going in was slightly different.
"We"re going to a different place, but Master is already waiting for you there," the Servant replied.
He brought Xu Ming to a big building.
The beast landed on the ground before that building.
The Servant escorted Xu Ming inside the building.
He was brought to a big hall that already had many people.
Almost every Elder of the core sect was there. Some of the disciples were there as well. There was also Battle Fairy Mia in the hall. She was standing before the Sect Master.
Another thing that Xu Ming noticed was that there was a table before the Sect Master that had a semi-transparent orb on it.
"Oh, Xu Ming. You are here. Come fast," the Sect Master called Xu Ming as he noticed him.
Xu Ming walked up to the sect master.
"Everyone, Silence! My personal disciple, Xu Ming, is here. We will be beginning the talent measuring," the Sect Master let out loud.
"Xu Ming, place your hand on this...o...b.." He told Xu Ming.
"This is a potential measuring orb. It will measure your talent and potential for cultivation," he added.
"Oh, so they use this to measure the talent here. Back home, we don"t need to use resources like this," Valeria said.
