Xu Chuan reappeared in the desolate land, looking around.
As the Emperor's tomb world was destroyed and all demonic energy dissipated, life began to sprout anew. Tiny specks of green emerged from the earth.
It was believed that before long, this place would transform into a blessed land.
After all, an Emperor Venerable had fallen here, and with the Emperor's tomb world shattered, vast amounts of world power had been dispersed.
Coupled with the numerous martial artists who had perished here.
These myriad opportunities were destined to bring about earth-shattering changes to this location.
Perhaps after countless years, a new sect or sacred land would rise again, vying for dominance over Xuan Tian.
However, these were no longer Xu Chuan's concerns.
"Let's go!"
He glanced back at the spot where the light pillar had once been. With the destruction of the Emperor's tomb, the light pillar had vanished, and the palace had crumbled with it.
Xu Chuan withdrew his gaze, then summoned his carriage, pulled by a demonic tiger, and departed.
The last words he spoke were to the senior dark guards who had been waiting outside the Emperor's tomb.
The demonic tiger pulled the carriage at an extremely high speed. In less than half a day, they had returned to the Tai Yi Sacred Land.
He released the others from the golden ancient palace.
At this moment, each of them was brimming with energy, their spirits soaring, their faces lit up with smiles.
Clearly, after absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth and comprehending the rules of the martial path, they had benefited immensely!
Their martial path prospects had become even broader!
Even Gu Ling and Feng Qingyang were no exception.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity. With this matter concluded, I must return to report."
Gu Ling bowed respectfully to Xu Chuan.
During this journey to the Emperor's tomb, he had been truly captivated by Xu Chuan's charismatic personality.
Combined with Xu Chuan's invincible strength, he believed that with such an unparalleled existence, the Tai Yi Sacred Land would surely experience rapid progress in the future!
"Go,"
Xu Chuan waved his hand, allowing them to leave as they pleased.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Feng Qingyang.
"Qingyang, you must continue to strive!"
"With your talent, you shouldn't be like this!"
Xu Chuan said earnestly.
To be honest, Feng Qingyang's progress thus far was already considerable.
But in Xu Chuan's eyes, it was still insufficient!
He was acutely aware of Feng Qingyang's true potential.
People, without pushing themselves, would never know how strong they truly were!
He hoped Feng Qingyang would become even stronger, as only then could he offer more assistance in the future!
"Yes, thank you, Young Master, for your guidance!"
Feng Qingyang's face turned slightly red at Xu Chuan's words.
The progress he had made recently had made him somewhat arrogant.
Furthermore, with Xu Chuan using him to kill Li Qinghou, his confidence had grown even more.
However, his confidence was completely shattered after his battle with Yang Ding Tian.
He was acutely aware of how weak he still was, with no comparison to the top-tier Heavenly Talents!
"I believe your potential extends far beyond this. You should go into seclusion as soon as we return to your residence!"
Xu Chuan said with a smile.
Having said that, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Feng Qingyang. "Since you've chosen to be my follower, don't be deterred by my high demands!"
"I need someone who can help me solve various problems, not someone who requires me to resolve everything personally."
"Do you understand?"
"Here are some cultivation resources. I hope that by the time I see you again, you will have broken through to at least the fifth level of the Heavenly King realm!"
Xu Chuan stared intently at Feng Qingyang, wanting to gauge his reaction.
Feng Qingyang did not disappoint.
He solemnly accepted the storage ring, then looked at Xu Chuan, his gaze firm.
"I will not fail your expectations!"
"I swear that I will break through to at least the fifth level of the Heavenly King realm during this seclusion. Otherwise, I will not emerge!"
Feng Qingyang directly swore an oath on his martial path, demonstrating his determination.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well, then go."
After dismissing Feng Qingyang, Xu Chuan headed towards Tai Yi Peak.
In front of the Tai Yi Hall, the two child attendants of Xuan Sa had been waiting for a long time.
"Greetings, Saint Son Xu Chuan."
"Please come in, Saint Son. The Saint Lord has been awaiting your arrival!"
The two child attendants first bowed to Xu Chuan and then invited him into the hall.
Inside the grand hall, it was as usual.
Xuan Sa sat cross-legged in the hall, his posture unchanging for millennia.
"You're back?"
"Did you gain anything from this trip?"
The moment Xu Chuan stepped into the hall, Xuan Sa abruptly opened his eyes.
A beam of sharp light shot out, causing Xu Chuan's body to tremble.
As expected of the Saint Lord of the Tai Yi Sacred Land, even with Xu Chuan's current strength, he could not discern Xuan Sa's true power.
"Reporting to the Saint Lord, this trip was immensely rewarding, but I did not find a method to break through to the Emperor Venerable realm."
Xu Chuan first bowed respectfully, then spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Sa did not appear disappointed.
He had long anticipated such an outcome.
So many years had passed, and he had come to terms with it.
The method to break through to the Emperor Venerable realm was not easily obtained!
Moreover, without understanding the secret behind the disappearance of the Emperor Venerables, even if he had a method to break through, he would not dare to do so!
Following that, Xu Chuan recounted the various events of his journey to the Emperor's tomb to Xuan Sa.
Upon mentioning that he had killed the Saint Sons of two major powers, Xu Chuan said, "I have caused great trouble for the Sacred Land. I request the Saint Lord's punishment!"
He then knelt on the ground, awaiting Xuan Sa's judgment.
However, Xuan Sa showed no signs of displeasure upon hearing this. Instead, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Excellent!"
"Well done, it's very satisfying!"
"To cause trouble in the Eastern Domain where our Tai Yi Sacred Land is located, killing them was the right thing to do, no need to feel burdened!"
"As for their respective Sacred Lands, do not worry. With me here, no one can harm you!"
Xuan Sa declared with overwhelming dominance.
Within the territory of the Eastern Domain, he, Xuan Sa, was the heaven!
No one dared to challenge him!
"As for these few powers in the Eastern Domain, daring to ambush you, it seems they have lived long enough!"
At this point, a killing intent flashed in Xuan Sa's eyes.
It had been too long since he had displayed his true strength, leading some to harbor misguided thoughts.
It seemed it was time to reassert order in the Eastern Domain!
To let them know who the true master of the Eastern Domain was!
"Rise!"
"With me here, you only need to cultivate with peace of mind!"
Xuan Sa waved his hand, and Xu Chuan involuntarily stood up.
"Thank you, Saint Lord!"
Xu Chuan felt deeply moved, experiencing the feeling of being protected once again.
He could sense that Xuan Sa genuinely cared for him!
Besides that, there was Situ Lin, and his own family.
This made Xu Chuan think that he had to do something for them.
Suddenly, Xu Chuan thought of the method for opening up an inner world!
Xu Chuan's method for opening up an inner world came from the inheritance of Nan Cang Yu.
It was a secret technique of a fourth-tier Emperor Venerable, which Xuan Sa might not possess.
Now, Xuan Sa was at the peak of the Half-Emperor realm, with no room for further advancement. Why not let him open up an inner world?
He believed that with the Emperor Venerable of the Tai Yi Sacred Land, it would certainly be incredibly simple for Xuan Sa to open up an inner world!
This would undoubtedly lead to a rapid advancement in Xuan Sa's strength.
Therefore, Xu Chuan did not hesitate. He took out the method for opening up an inner world and said to Xuan Sa, "Saint Lord, this is a fortuitous inheritance I obtained. It is of no use to me now, but it may be of great use to you!"
"I hope you will accept it, Saint Lord!"
