Jack Ma chuckled at Jiang Quanshui's tone.
"Isn't it the same? Two points sewn together, what else could there be?" Jack Ma said with a smile.
"You can't say that. It's the same thing, but the experience is different. You make it sound like you've tried it yourself," Jiang Quanshui retorted.
"Heh heh... it's not like I can't get to try," Jack Ma chuckled.
"Stop bragging. The new day's cultivation has begun," Old Wang said, leading the way to the plaza.
Jack Ma watched the three leave and returned to sleep.
He was already in the Tribulation Stage, so he could be lazy and didn't need to cultivate in the plaza. He planned to rest well and spar with the fairies at night to improve his strength.
...
Several years passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone had successively cultivated to the verge of the Tribulation Stage, all waiting for Xia Feng to return and undergo tribulation.
Those who were about to face tribulation had their cultivation suppressed by Emperor Tianlu and Emperor Canye to prevent them from forcefully crossing.
On this day, Xia Feng returned.
Xia Feng had spent some time touring the Divine Realm, though he hadn't finished exploring it all. He had instructed the Lord of Myriad Souls and others to wait in the West Ming Continent, and he would continue exploring the remaining North Xuan Continent and Central Neutral Continent on his next visit to the Divine Realm.
Although Mu Yunchen was reluctant, she also knew that Xia Feng had to return to Earth.
For them, a separation of decades or even a century felt like a fleeting moment, a blink of an eye.
"Xia Feng, when you return to the Immortal Realm this time, can you bring us along next time?" Emperor Canye asked Xia Feng.
Xia Feng's next trip to the Divine Realm would be his third.
"We'll see. We're returning to Earth, and we don't know when we'll come to the Immortal Realm next. You should first improve your strength to the late stage of Immortal Emperor. Your own strength is still insufficient," Xia Feng glanced at Emperor Canye's cultivation, the same old story.
"Uh... improving strength isn't that easy. Do you think everyone is like you?" Emperor Canye was speechless for a moment.
For Xia Feng, improving his strength was as easy as eating and drinking.
"Yes, it is indeed too difficult. It's not that we don't want to," Emperor Tianlu nodded in agreement.
"I brought you things to improve your strength in the Divine Realm this time. Take them and cultivate diligently," Xia Feng said, tossing a ring to Emperor Canye, and then instructed, "This should be more than enough for you to use freely."
"Heh heh... you're still the best," Emperor Canye took the ring and chuckled, not being polite at all.
Being polite to Xia Feng would be like slapping himself in the face.
"Alright, don't act coy after getting what you want," Xia Feng said, then gathered everyone, preparing to help them undergo tribulation.
Even the cultivation slacks like Old Wang and Little Wang had reached the verge of tribulation, all waiting for Xia Feng's return.
As for Lin Song and his daughter Lin Yuwei of the Immortal Fate Sect, and Dongfang Lingyu and her grandfather from the Dongfang family, they had also reached the verge of tribulation.
Xia Feng summoned them all to his small world at once, letting them undergo tribulation within it.
After everyone had finished their tribulations, Xia Feng visited Kongxu City.
Kongxu City, after ten years of construction, had transformed into a modern city. If not for its many modern facilities, one would never guess it was in the Immortal Realm.
"Young Master Xia, after we return this time, should we bring some electronic products? I'll cover everything," Jack Ma walked up to Xia Feng and asked.
"Yes, it looks very good here," Xia Feng was very satisfied with the construction of Kongxu City. He then looked at Jack Ma and asked, "Teacher Ma, you look well lately."
Jack Ma chuckled upon hearing this, "It's all thanks to you. Perhaps it's due to cultivating in the Immortal Realm."
Jack Ma had just mentioned that he had been enjoying the good life in the Immortal Realm, while Old Wang, Jiang Quanshui, and Lei Ming were a bit down. After all, their wishes had not been fulfilled, and their expressions carried a hint of dejection.
"Brother Xia," Lu Siyao ran towards Xia Feng.
Xia Feng stepped forward and embraced her, saying, "I'm returning to Earth, and I can't take you with me. Cultivate well in Kongxu City. When we go to the Divine Realm next time, you'll stay by my side every day."
"Mhm, okay." Lu Siyao felt a bit shy from Xia Feng's sudden embrace but was exceptionally happy.
"Let me introduce you, this is my sister Xia Lin," Xia Feng said, pulling Xia Lin to introduce her to Lu Siyao.
"Brother, is this my sister-in-law?" Xia Lin chuckled, her first impression of Lu Siyao was very good.
Upon hearing Xia Lin call her sister-in-law, Lu Siyao's face turned red to her ears.
"Not yet... now..." Lu Siyao, afraid of embarrassing Xia Feng, even took the initiative to explain, which only made her more shy.
"Haha..." everyone burst into laughter.
Xia Feng spent a day in Kongxu City, enjoying the modern city in the Immortal Realm, and letting Old Wang and the others survey it to make notes on what electrical appliances they needed to bring next time.
After a day, everyone had listed all the necessary items, which would be brought over together next time.
Finally, Old Wang gathered all the workers, preparing to return to Earth.
After several days apart, everyone returned to Earth once again.
Modu Villa.
Xia Feng appeared here and with a wave of his hand, everyone materialized.
They were back.
