As the South Domain underwent a drastic power shift, Xu Chuan led the Taiyi Holy Land contingent back to the East Domain.
In Xu Chuan's absence, the Taiyi Holy Land had remained under the constant vigilance of the Two Realms Pass.
With the formation activated, countless disciples patrolled tirelessly, ensuring no outsider could infiltrate the sanctuary.
The entire Taiyi Holy Land was enveloped in a powerful aura, with divine lights flashing everywhere and an air of majesty, showcasing the Holy Land's might.
Unlike other factions that suffered the onslaught of demons and were left in ruins, Taiyi Holy Land was untouched.
"Your Highness has returned!"
"That's wonderful, Your Highness is back!"
"What?"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The moment Xu Chuan and his party appeared outside the Two Realms Pass, they were spotted by the patrolling disciples.
Seeing the disciples and elders far stronger than when they had left, Xu Chuan couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.
Then, their gazes fell upon Xu Chuan, and they all bowed in unison, their faces filled with respect.
The heroic feats Xu Chuan had accomplished in the South Domain had already reached the Holy Land.
Essentially, everyone in Taiyi Holy Land knew the news.
His clone had slain six Emperors and one Yang Zhou.
Later, he annihilated billions of demon soldiers with a single strike.
He then effortlessly defeated Tian Zhe, a demon prince with the power of a peak third-tier Emperor, in an overwhelming display of force.
Without a single soldier, he seized the Great Desolate Dynasty, completely taking control of the South Domain.
Each of these accomplishments left countless Taiyi disciples in awe.
Their sense of recognition for Xu Chuan, the Holy Son, even surpassed that of Xuan Sa, the Taiyi Holy Master!
Fortunately, Xuan Sa had already prepared to hand over the Taiyi Holy Land to Xu Chuan, so he welcomed this phenomenon.
Otherwise, it might have led to a situation where one's merits overshadowed the sovereign's authority.
Of course, these were mere digressions.
Facing the adoring gazes of numerous Taiyi disciples, Xu Chuan nodded slightly.
He was accustomed to such attention and felt no unusual emotions.
Alighting from the warship, he first bid farewell to the accompanying elders, and then headed towards True Yang Peak.
His journey to the South Domain had yielded significant gains, and he had yet to claim his system rewards.
Now that he had returned to the Holy Land, it was time to consolidate and digest his gains.
On True Yang Peak, those who had heard of Xu Chuan's return had been waiting for a long time.
The moment Xu Chuan arrived, they all bowed.
"Welcome, Young Master, for your safe return!"
Xu Xingli even rushed into Xu Chuan's embrace.
"Brother, you're finally back!"
Xu Chuan affectionately patted Xu Xingli's head and then asked with a smile, "Have there been any significant events on the peak during my absence?"
"Nothing major happened on the peak, but something big has occurred within the Holy Land!"
Xu Xingli first shook her head, then suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh? What major event?"
Xu Chuan was a little curious upon hearing this.
Although he had a clone residing in the Holy Land, it had been in deep seclusion at the Two Realms Pass, comprehending laws and achieving ethereal resonance.
Unless the Taiyi Holy Land faced an existential crisis, this clone would not awaken.
Naturally, he was unaware of what had transpired within the Taiyi Holy Land.
Speaking of which, it was worth mentioning another application of the 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones' technique discovered by Xu Chuan.
With three clones, he could constantly comprehend various laws without interruption.
Not only was his speed three times that of others, but the difficulty of comprehension was also significantly reduced!
It was truly an unparalleled cultivation method!
Hearing Xu Chuan's inquiry, Xu Xingli replied, "Not long ago, two Grand Elders of the Holy Land simultaneously broke through their bottlenecks and ascended to the Emperor Realm!"
"Now, besides you, Brother, the Holy Land has three martial artists in the Emperor Realm!"
Xu Xingli's face was filled with excitement as she spoke of this.
Four Emperors in one sect!
What kind of formidable power could achieve this?
In the past, she wouldn't even have dared to imagine it!
Now, her dreams were becoming reality.
Taiyi Holy Land had instantly become the most powerful faction in the entire Xuántiān!
"Oh? Two Grand Elders broke through simultaneously?"
Xu Chuan was somewhat surprised by this.
It was indeed a rare occurrence.
However, considering their lifespans and cultivation bases, and with the presence of Chaotic Origin Essence, simultaneous breakthroughs were not entirely unbelievable.
With the breakthrough of the two Grand Elders, his master Situ Lin would likely be close to reaching the Emperor Realm as well.
This would play a crucial role in his future plans.
After understanding the recent situation of the Holy Land, Xu Chuan chatted with the others for a while.
Under his generous cultivation, most of the people on True Yang Peak had reached the Heaven-Connecting Realm and above.
Xu Xingli, possessing the Primordial Spirit Sacred Body, had even broken through to the second level of the Heaven King Realm.
Her progress was remarkably swift.
"Perhaps it's time to prepare a wisp of Chaotic Origin Essence for my sister?"
Xu Chuan mused silently.
Given Xu Xingli's current talent and destiny, breaking through to the Emperor Realm was almost a certainty.
And even if she couldn't reach that level on her own, Xu Chuan would find a way to help her ascend!
After all, Xu Xingli was his own sister!
What reason did a brother need to dote on his sister?
Xu Tong, Xu Xingli's maid, had also reached the initial stage of the Heaven-Connecting Realm.
This was something she had never dreamed of before.
She was acutely aware that all of this was thanks to whom.
Therefore, she harbored boundless gratitude towards Xu Chuan and Xu Xingli.
As for Wang Lun, with his innate Sword Bone, his cultivation speed was naturally not slow.
What surprised Xu Chuan the most was Zhao Ling'er.
He had not provided much assistance to this maid he had taken in casually.
After assigning her to True Yang Peak, he had let her cultivate on her own, merely including her in the resource distribution when providing for Xu Xingli and the others.
Yet, this woman's cultivation had skyrocketed like a rocket, reaching the initial stage of the Heaven King Realm!
It could only be said that anyone associated with the protagonist was extraordinary.
Perhaps sensing Xu Chuan's gaze, Zhao Ling'er averted her eyes and said in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum, "Young Master, you must be weary from your journey. Your clothes are dusty, perhaps I could prepare a bath for you?"
As she spoke, she seemed to have made an incredibly difficult decision, her face flushing.
Xu Chuan was taken aback.
He glanced at her silently, and seeing her peerless beauty, he couldn't help but feel a flicker of desire.
He was no ascetic, so he readily agreed, "Very well, it is indeed time for a bath."
"Then you shall attend to me."
As he spoke, Xu Chuan glanced at the others present.
The others were not fools and immediately understood his meaning, withdrawing one after another.
As she left, Xu Xingli playfully stuck out her tongue at Xu Chuan, understanding what he intended to do.
...
After bathing all night, Zhao Ling'er, with a weary body, helped Xu Chuan change.
Despite her exhaustion, a hint of surprise graced her delicate face.
Her cultivation had actually improved!
This was something she had not anticipated.
After she had dressed Xu Chuan, he instructed her to rest well, and he himself entered the cultivation room, preparing for seclusion.
The sunlight was perfect at this moment, making it ideal for him to enter closed-door cultivation!
