……

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The wind rose between heaven and earth, whipping the flags and banners.

"Farewell, Path of the Human Realm…"

Qi Cun soothed the restlessness of the demons, spread his arms, and allowed that invisible strange force to engulf him, dragging him up.

He had waited for this day for a long time, speculated for a long time, but unexpectedly, his mood was extremely calm.

Without a ripple.

Whoosh!

Floating in the long sky, he looked back and down.

The Path of the Human Realm, encompassing five continents and four seas, differed from what it was a hundred thousand years ago. After countless years of 'shifting stars and creating land' by the Taiji Dojo, the current five continents were many times larger than before.

The Eastern Extremity alone seemed to be no smaller than the Nanzhan Continent of the Earth Immortal Realm. Combined with the five continents, it seemed to surpass the Four Great Continents of the Earth Immortal Realm.

But it was only seemingly so.

The vastness of the Path of the Human Realm's territory came at the cost of the Sea of Stars. This great world, which had collapsed many times, had gathered all the stars and celestial bodies to achieve this result.

At this moment, that ancient Dharma Scroll was perched at the extreme of the firmament, as if overlooking the heavens and the earth, and understanding everything.

It also seemed to be searching for something.

"Emperor Yuanyang…"

In his vagueness, Qi Cun seemed to see that majestic Divine Court again, and the hunting flags inside and outside the Divine Court.

As well as the heavenly generals and divine soldiers as vast as mountains and seas.

Legend has it that there were two Divine Courts in the Path of the Human Realm, but the Great Divine Court had disappeared long before he entered this realm.

The Divine Court that now ruled over all the lands and commanded all the races was also known as the 'Small Divine Court'.

He had once ascended to this Small Divine Court, but unfortunately, only a few Celestial Masters were stationed there, and he did not see the one he had imagined.

Farewell…

Feeling the acceleration, Qi Cun slowly closed his eyes, allowing the Dharma Scroll to drag him into an indescribable and bizarre place.

……

Crack!

From the Celestial Master's Mansion in the Small Divine Court came a sound of tearing.

"Little Martial Uncle, please stop!"

Hearing this sound, Wei Shaoyou's eyelids twitched wildly, his five fingers spread, and he grabbed Ye Xiaoyi's horsetail whisk in his palm:

"Don't be impulsive!"

Ye Xiaoyi's face was as cold as iron, and she looked back coldly, "Are we to let this fiend take whatever he wants, and manipulate us at will?!"

"Don't act rashly."

Wei Shaoyou showed a wry smile, but just shook his head: "Taking action is a small matter, but if we ruin the Grandmaster's plan, it will be a great disaster."

Wei Shaoyou's mind was heavy.

He was in charge of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Small Divine Court, and even the world at this time, and his feelings were much deeper than Ye Xiaoyi's.

If it was just this Dharma Scroll, even if it was filled with an extremely terrifying aura, it would not be anything.

But behind that Dharma Scroll…

Hearing the word 'Grandmaster', Ye Xiaoyi's expression softened a little, and she put away the horsetail whisk.

"Order the various departments, without my order, no one is allowed to take action without authorization!"

Having persuaded Ye Xiaoyi, Wei Shaoyou's expression turned solemn, and he issued a loud order.

The Dharma Scroll's unbridled inspection of the world naturally angered more than just Ye Xiaoyi alone.

At this moment, watching the Dharma Scroll hanging in the air.

Above and below the heavens, in the various lands and seas, and even in the nothingness of the Sea of Stars, the 'Spiritual Official Fleets' that 'transformed qi into stars' were all in an uproar.

If they had not heard the 'Celestial Master's' order in their hearts, they would have already rushed out.

Even so, the fleets moved slowly, tearing through the nothingness of the Sea of Stars, and heading towards the place where the Dharma Scroll descended.

"This aura…"

On a certain Fire Spirit Ship, Yan Xiake's expression was solemn, and faintly, there was even a hint of fear.

As if he had glimpsed an extremely terrifying existence.

"Not here…"

At a certain moment, the Dharma Scroll vibrated, and a pair of heavenly eyes seemed to slowly close. In just an instant, the Dharma Scroll, which seemed to encompass the Sea of Stars and the heavens and the earth, had disappeared without a trace.

"What was that thing…"

Although the giant eyes only flashed for a moment, in that instant, everyone who was swept by them felt a chill in their hearts.

In a trance, they felt as if they had been knocked down from their realms, stripped of their clothes, and thrown naked into the ice and snow.

In an instant, the world, which had been boiling, fell silent.

"Phoenix Emperor?!"

Ye Xiaoyi's pupils shrank: "No, that's not right. Its aura is even more tyrannical than the Phoenix Emperor's…"

A monstrous wave arose in her heart.

A long time ago, before Wang E, Gou Huang and others had followed Martial Brother Sa Wuling away, she had personally seen that king of divine beasts.

The power of its aura was the greatest she had ever seen in her life, and even now, she dared not say that she could match it.

And the aura revealed behind this Dharma Scroll was much more powerful than the Phoenix Emperor of that year!

"This, should be what Teacher calls… a Saint."

Wei Shaoyou slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air:

"This is already a realm above the Supreme Being…"

Due to the entanglement between the Path of the Human Realm and the Heavenly Intent of the Imperial Heaven, the cultivation paths of the two realms had great similarities.

And until the Netherworld Monarch emerged, the cultivation of the Path of the Human Realm had come to an abrupt end at the Primordial Spirit stage.

It was he who had deduced the paths of Purity, Heavenly Mandate, and Supreme Being above the Primordial Spirit stage.

Primordial Spirit granted longevity, Supreme Being granted immortality.

Supreme Being was already the extreme of humanity, and the 'Saint' behind that Dharma Scroll…

"This is, a Saint…"

Ye Xiaoyi was silent.

One could see the whole picture from a glimpse. Just a Dharma Scroll gave her such pressure. The person behind it was probably not even a match for Martial Brother…

Buzz!

Just as the two were feeling heavy in their hearts, they heard a great buzzing sound spreading out from the Small Divine Court below.

"This is?"

"Martial Brother (Teacher)?!"

Wei Shaoyou and Ye Xiaoyi stood up abruptly, exchanged a glance, and could not suppress the throbbing in their hearts.

Rumble!

The void trembled, and the Sea of Stars roared.

On the Fire Spirit Ship in the Sea of Stars, Yan Xiake, Ruyi Monk, Pity Life Taoist, Lu Ming and others also felt a tremor in their hearts.

Suddenly raising their eyebrows and looking, they saw the Divine Court shaking, and between heaven and earth, ten thousand rays of rosy light and a thousand streaks of auspicious colors suddenly appeared.

Countless wonderful flowers of qi bloomed from the void and fell, like a vast rain of flowers, scattering across the heavens and the earth.

"This is…"

Yan Xiake's heart throbbed, and faintly, he felt an extremely familiar aura.

He stood up tall and stood at the height of the Sea of Stars. He saw at the end of the heavens and the earth, at the edge of the Sea of Stars, in the nothingness of the world that the naked eye could not capture.

A red-gold intertwined heavenly staircase rose up, cutting through the Star River, crossing the Sea of Stars, and going straight to the Divine Court.

"A heavenly, a heavenly phenomenon?"

"Is, is it Old Celestial Master?!"

"This is Old Celestial Master's aura. He, He is finally returning?!"

The Path of the Human Realm was in an uproar.

At this moment, whether they were humans or demons, no matter how high or low their cultivation was, whether they were in a ten-thousand-foot-high building, or on an armored vehicle shuttling through the heavens and the earth, everyone felt something in their hearts and looked up.

They saw the golden staircase running through the Sea of Stars. Surrounded by all kinds of strange phenomena, an old Taoist with a slightly thin figure slowly arrived, stepping up.

Tap, tap, tap~

The low and rhythmic sound of footsteps spread throughout the heavens, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be resonating with his footsteps.

"Path of the Human Realm…"

Feeling the heavens and the earth, the aura, friends, and disciples he had been away from for many years, a smile flashed across Sa Wuling's old face.

The Path of the Human Realm had not truly entered the Imperial Heaven's space-time, and there was still a great difference in the flow of time between the two realms.

Although it was not as if one day in the Imperial Heaven was one year in the Human Realm, it was not far off.

This, was really an extremely long time.

Whoosh!

The heavenly staircase was of unknown length, but Sa Wuling seemed to have crossed it in a few steps.

And until he stepped into the Divine Court, a great roaring sound also resounded between the heavens and the earth:

"Everyone, return!"

Return!

Looking back at the heavens and the earth, Sa Wuling's eyes seemed to reflect the myriad things of the heavens and the earth, and even the long river of time that he had just stepped out of.

Buzz!

As he activated the call of the entire heavens and earth, a hazy mist seemed to appear between that boundless long river.

Confused and cramped, they came towards the Path of the Human Realm.

"Senior predecessors, return!"

Outside the Path of the Human Realm, in a completely empty and desolate place, Xu Sheng Yang held up a black banner and said with tears in his eyes:

"Return!"

Most people in the heavens and the earth only thought that the Qi Refiners who had followed the Old Celestial Master on the expedition that year had not returned from another world.

But only a few people, including him, knew that they had already died in battle.

For countless years, he had always been here, calling out with the Soul-Calling Banner, guiding the direction, until this moment.

Rumble!

In the heavens and the earth of the Path of the Human Realm, the sound of rumbling became more and more intense.

At first, everyone only thought that the heavens and the earth were welcoming the arrival of the Old Celestial Master, and they did not feel anything. Later, they realized that the shaking of the heavens and the earth was becoming more and more intense.

Only then did they realize that the Old Celestial Master was mobilizing the power of the entire heavens and earth!

"Old Celestial Master, what, what is he going to do…"

Someone had such a thought in their mind, but in the next instant, they already had an answer.

As the sound of the heavens and the earth rumbling became more and more vast, hazy and confused lonely souls appeared at the edge of the heavens and the earth.

That was a scarlet-gold warship, drifting from an unknown place, and also drifting for an unknown amount of time.

Desolate and mottled, dilapidated and fragmented, in a piece of dead silence, there were only sporadic lonely souls floating.

Whoosh, whoosh~

Above the Divine Court, the wind became desolate.

"Wang Shan, Gou Huang…"

Sa Wuling shed tears sadly, bowed deeply from afar in the boundless void, his sleeves hanging on the cold floor of the Divine Court:

"Return…"

Return…

In a daze, a few lonely souls seemed to feel something, and looked around blankly, only to see a little bit of light gathering like moths to a flame.

Boom!

In the next instant, as if a thunderclap exploded, dispelling the confusion and muddleheadedness in their hearts.

"Teacher…"

In the scarlet heat, a body as tall as a war god gradually emerged, the confusion gradually faded, and became cold:

"Where are the enemies?!"

"Woof, woof, woof…"

He suddenly turned around, only to see a bald yellow dog lying on the dilapidated ancient ship, crying bitterly, his heart and liver broken:

"All, all dead, all dead?!"

"Ah!"

The starry sky trembled, and the stars shifted.

Wang Shan roared to the sky, his heart aching.

When they left, there were ten thousand warships, and the flags were like a forest. When they returned, there was only a lonely boat, one man and one dog…

"The departed are not far away, they can still be pursued…"

Above the Divine Court, Sa Wuling slowly closed his eyes, suppressed the killing intent burning in his eyes, and suddenly dropped his raised palm.

Like a boatman dropping an oar, a coachman waving a whip:

"Rise!"
