After stabilizing his realm, Xia Feng took another stroll through Shenjie Mountain and reaped considerable gains in immortal artifacts.
These were previously used by the Immortal Emperors during the great battle.
As for the two divine artifacts mentioned by Qingxu Immortal Emperor, Xia Feng did not find them.
Xia Feng had no interest in immortal artifacts, but he could distribute them among his followers. With so many people accompanying him now, he naturally had to consider them.
Immortal artifacts used by Immortal Emperors were considered top-tier weapons in the Immortal Realm. Leaving them here would only let them gather dust, so it was better to let others use them.
After handling everything, Xia Feng left Shenjie Mountain directly and headed towards the Hongming Continent.
When he arrived at Xia Lin's location, only a few months remained until the ten-year mark.
Xia Feng sent Gou Fugui to escort the white crane back to Kongxu City, while he prepared to take everyone back to Earth for the New Year.
Festive occasions always brought forth longing for loved ones. Although it was just him and his sister Xia Lin, he had to consider the others.
"Brother, are we going back now?" Xia Lin asked Xia Feng.
"Yes, it's not like we can't wait a few more months. After we return this time, we'll need to focus on constructing Kongxu City. This visit was to show you the environment here and let you get accustomed to it. We'll devise a plan on how to build Kongxu City well upon our return."
Xia Feng nodded and then looked at Old Wang and the others, saying.
"Young Master Xia, leave it to us. As long as we can bring things up here, these matters are not a problem. We will definitely build a modernized Kongxu City for you."
Old Wang patted his chest and guaranteed.
After a lifetime of infrastructure development, this was the first time building Yida in the Immortal Realm, breaking through Earth's boundaries.
From now on, Yida Group would have cross-Earth operations, making it unique in the world.
"Let's go back first. You can discuss it amongst yourselves, and we'll talk about it next time," Xia Feng nodded.
"Alright," everyone responded.
Then, Xia Feng directly collected everyone into the East Emperor Bell, letting it carry them back to Earth.
The only one not collected into the East Emperor Bell was Bing Ling'er.
As they prepared to leave the Immortal Realm, Bing Ling'er obediently transformed into Doudou and leaped into Xia Feng's arms.
Just like last time, Xia Feng's cultivation realm was suppressed to the Mahayana stage, and Doudou was also suppressed to the Mahayana stage.
After two confirmations, Xia Feng could be sure that he had been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao all along.
Having returned to the Mahayana stage, Doudou was unable to transform into human form. She whimpered unhappily at Xia Feng.
"I'll send you back to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate first. Perhaps next time you visit, you can break through to the middle stage of Immortal Emperor," Xia Feng said, ignoring Doudou's displeasure in his arms, and sent her directly into Kunlun Mountain.
Upon returning to the villa, Xia Feng released everyone.
For everyone, it had only been ten days of travel, but in reality, they had spent nearly ten years in the Immortal Realm.
Thus, everyone felt they had been away for a long time. Ten years was indeed a long time for them.
They had never experienced this feeling before, and it was difficult to adjust immediately.
Upon their return to the villa, they busied themselves making phone calls to inquire about their families and companies, which occupied their morning. It wasn't until the next day that they each went home for the New Year.
Xia Feng urged everyone to leave, telling them to go back and spend the New Year with their families.
"Brother, are we leaving now?" As most people were leaving, Xia Lin looked at Xia Feng and said.
"Go ahead, I'll be leaving soon too." Xia Feng nodded.
Xia Feng planned to go to Yanjing to spend the New Year with Elder Li and the others.
With just him and Xia Lin, there wasn't much to celebrate the New Year.
Elder Huang and Elder Li had dedicated their lives to the country and never returned home for the New Year, always spending it with a few friends in a courtyard house.
This year, Xia Feng wanted to spend it with them, as it would feel more like the New Year.
As for Xia Lin, he let her go home with Liu Jingru to celebrate the New Year. This would also allow her to experience the joy of a family reunion.
Otherwise, with her and Xia Feng in the villa, the two of them would feel rather lonely.
"Okay, Brother, see you next year." Xia Lin waved goodbye to Xia Feng and left with Liu Jingru.
Jiang Xin saw Xia Lin and Liu Jingru off to the airport. Jiang Quanshui's private jet took them back to Chengdu.
Xia Feng looked at the now quiet villa. Relatively speaking, he preferred a lively villa filled with laughter.
Today was January 30th, and tomorrow was New Year's Eve.
Old Wang was still very busy today because he managed Fenglin Entertainment Company. Fenglin Entertainment's movie "The Cultivator" was scheduled to be released the day after tomorrow, with a simultaneous global release.
To ensure the movie's normal release on New Year's Day, Old Wang stayed in his office making calls, mostly to overseas representatives.
As for domestic matters, Old Wang had no worries. Setting aside other cinemas, his 50% screening rate was something no one dared to refuse.
Then there was his own Yida Cinema, which had an 80% screening rate.
"Dad, when are we going back?" Young Master Wang walked into Old Wang's office and asked.
"What's the rush? We can go back tomorrow. The movie is being released the day after tomorrow. Although our focus has shifted to the Immortal Realm, ... we must do what we need to do, and do it perfectly. Do you understand?" Da Feng Novel Network
Old Wang began to teach his son earnestly.
After the changes this year, Young Master Wang was no longer the Wang Dashao who spent his days with internet celebrities. Although he still spoke somewhat humorously, he had completely transformed.
"I understand." Young Master Wang nodded.
"Son, the most correct thing you've done this year is to meet Lin'er, and through her, meet Young Master Xia. This has allowed us to reach a height we could never have imagined in our lives. This is the most correct thing you've done."
"So, what have you learned from this?"
Old Wang put down the phone and looked at Young Master Wang, asking carefully.
Young Master Wang thought to himself, what have I learned? Haven't I just discovered that everyone has the potential to be a sycophant?
"I don't know." Young Master Wang shook his head.
"There's always a gain for every loss, it's all cause and effect. In Young Master Xia's words, it's called destiny."
"If I had forbidden you from playing online and watching live streams from the beginning, and instead focused on building your career, then you wouldn't have met Lin'er, and we would have missed the most important thing in our lives."
"Then you would have become a successful entrepreneur, the future successor of Yida, but you would have lost the most crucial opportunity. This is the gain for every loss, the cycle of cause and effect."
Old Wang analyzed it thoroughly, and Young Master Wang nodded as if he understood.
Old Wang's question was too profound, but one thing he said was not wrong: there is always a gain for every loss. Don't focus on the immediate losses and gains; everything has two sides.
"Then let's go back tomorrow. I'm going to find an internet celebrity to hang out with. I haven't been out to play for a long time."
Young Master Wang turned and left. His father said it was right for him to go play with internet celebrities, so why not find one to satisfy his desires quickly?
Old Wang watched Young Master Wang turn and leave, speechless.
