Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In its place was a stable, orderly world.

Dark-gold rocks stretched all the way to the end of sight.

Above his head were no longer shattered, colorful cracks, but a complete vault woven from starlight and the light of laws.

Four colors — green, blue, purple, and gold — flowed across the vault, as if someone had spread an entire aurora across this sky.

In the distance, the outline of a city was faintly visible.

The city was built upon the dark-gold rocks, its entirety constructed of white giant stones, its walls covered in law-reinforced patterns.

Above the city floated several small floating islands, each bearing buildings with spiritual light flickering.

Outside the city, caravans came and went, flying boats taking off and landing frequently.

It looked, in every respect, like a quite prosperous market city.

Xu Zhangqing surveyed it a few times and had a clear grasp in his heart.

It seemed the Corpse-Flipping Festival had already passed, and the Tai Xu Lie Yuan had returned to its original appearance.

He did not linger, but immediately activated two puppet marks.

Those were the Spirit Plant Puppet marks he had left on Xu Qiansui and Xu Jiuyou.

No matter how far apart, as long as they remained in the same spacetime dimension, Xu Zhangqing could share the puppets' vision through these two marks.

The instant the marks lit up, two scenes appeared simultaneously in his left and right eyes.

Xu Qiansui was beside a massive spirit plant, pinching a few seeds in his hand, seemingly cultivating a new spirit plant.

Xu Jiuyou stood behind a stone counter in a pill room, speaking with several robed cultivators, shelves behind him filled with various pills and spiritual materials.

These two scenes did not look like commercial shops.

Rather, they looked like the interior of some power!

Xu Zhangqing's brows lifted slightly, then he spread his divine sense.

Then, he saw more things.

Spirit plant gardens.

Pill rooms.

Market cities.

Pavilions suspended in the air.

Xu Zhangqing was mildly stunned: "Isn't this the interior of the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian?"

Facing this situation, he no longer hesitated.

He immediately summoned Kong Ling and sped directly toward the locked-on direction.

Kong Ling's seven-colored flowing light spread across the sky vault, transforming into a colorful ribbon.

Before long, Xu Zhangqing saw the first Spirit Plant Puppet, Xu Qiansui.

Xu Qiansui called out: "Master!"

Xu Zhangqing asked: "Why are you inside the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian?"

Xu Qiansui explained: "Master, it's like this.

During the time you weren't paying attention, many things happened in the Tai Xu Lie Yuan.

It's not that we didn't want to stay in the shop, but the shop doesn't need us."

Xu Zhangqing's brows furrowed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Xu Qiansui replied: "Because... the Tai Xu Lie Yuan was killed through by your son!"

As these words fell, Xu Zhangqing stared wide-eyed: "What did you say?"

Immediately after, Xu Qiansui began reporting in full detail.

As it turned out.

Ever since Xu Ping'an entered the Tai Xu Lie Yuan, he gained the strong support of the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian.

Especially the two Spirit Transformation Venerables, Li Wudao and Mu Ji, who gave their full assistance.

Therefore, the Tai Xu Lie Yuan, chaotic for who knows how many ten-thousands of years, welcomed its "master".

Xu Ping'an made his move!

As everyone knows, the Tai Xu Lie Yuan has six major forces.

One, the Three Purifications Alliance, located in the Eastern San Yuan Mi Luo Tian.

Two, the Ten Thousand Demons Ancestral Court, located in the Western Tai Ancient Demon Court.

Three, the Heavenly Derivation Alliance, located in the Southern Zhou Tian Star Plate.

Four, the Nether Hell Path, located in the Northern Jiu You Wang Si Cheng.

Five, the Gui Xu Chamber of Commerce, riding the moving Sky-Swallowing Toad.

Six, the Xuan Huang Golden Court, existing within the Nine Extremes Sky Rift.

Result: Xu Ping'an unified it in just a few decades.

Those who submitted lived.

Those who resisted died.

The once force-gathered Tai Xu Lie Yuan now has only one voice left.

Afterwards, the two passed through the Inner City district of the San Yuan Mi Luo Tian.

Along the way, the cultivators who saw Xu Qiansui all stopped to pay their respects, their attitudes reverent.

Xu Changqing noticed that there was no fear in these people's eyes, but rather reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

When they passed through a bamboo grove shimmering with spiritual light, a bamboo courtyard built against a cliff appeared before their eyes.

The bamboo courtyard was not large, yet it was arranged with extreme elegance.

In front of the courtyard grew a row of Moonlight Grass; the dewdrops condensed on the leaves shimmered with a silver luster under the spiritual light.

In the courtyard stood a stone table, on which sat a pot of spirit tea, still emitting wisps of hot steam.

A woman dressed in a plain white long skirt was currently bending over to water the spirit flowers in the corner of the wall.

That back view, Xu Changqing was all too familiar with: "Frost Sister!"

The watering motion stopped; upon hearing this, Ruo Qunshuang turned around.

Immediately, four eyes met.

Ruo Qunshuang still looked the same as before.

A pure and clean countenance, eyebrows and eyes gentle and warm.

Her hair was casually pinned up with a single green jade hairpin, a few loose strands hanging by her ears.

Her aura was even more restrained than when she was in the Tianyuan Realm back then; faint spiritual light flowed around her body, looking as if she was only a step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ruo Qunshuang looked at the person at the gate, stunned for a full three breaths, before calling out: "Qing Ge!"

Her voice did not tremble, but her eye rims reddened.

Xu Changqing walked forward and said gently: "I've come to take you all back."

Ruo Qunshuang's lips curved up slightly, and she nodded lightly: "Mm."

Xu Changqing smiled: "I heard An'an is quite the handful!"

Ruo Qunshuang said with a pout: "Isn't it because he takes after you!"

Before her words fell, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

"Father!"

Two figures rushed into the courtyard one after another.

They were Xu He and Xu Sui.

When the two left the Tianyuan Realm, they were only around twenty years old.

Now over a decade has passed, and their appearances have grown increasingly mature.

In terms of cultivation realm, they both appear to be at the Golden Core Stage.

Xu He hugged Xu Changqing's left arm: "Father, why did you only come now!"

Xu Sui hugged the right arm tightly, acting coquettishly: "Father, you've finally come!"

Xu Changqing looked at the two and smiled with relief: "You've both grown up."

At the same time, he added silently in his heart: "Looking more and more like Mother."

At this moment, another two people arrived outside the courtyard.

They were Li Wudao and Mu Ji.

The moment the two entered the courtyard, they both stopped in unison and stared at Xu Changqing for a long while.

Xu Changqing withdrew his two hands from He and Sui's embrace, then cupped his fists: "Master, Venerable Li, long time no see!"

Li Wudao said in a deep voice: "Chao Jin said you achieved God Transformation; at first I didn't believe it.

Now it seems the news is true."

Xu Changqing was surprised: "Chao Jin came to the Tai Xu Lie Yuan?"

Li Wudao nodded: "He's already been here for over nine years."

Mu Ji stood to the side, his gaze quite complex, his lips moving: "Teacher, it seems there's nothing left for you to teach me."

Xu Changqing hurriedly waved his hand: "Without you, there would be no me today!"

Hearing this, Li Wudao and Mu Ji exchanged a glance.

Though they didn't know if it was true or false, their hearts felt warm.

At this time, Xu Changqing said with a serious expression: "Master, Venerable Li, these years have troubled you to look after my whole family, young and old.

This kindness, Changqing has recorded in his heart."

Li Wudao smiled bitterly: "If we're really talking about looking after, it's Ping'an who looked after us.

You don't know, his current title is 'Taiping Venerable'."

Xu Changqing was shocked: "An'an achieved God Transformation?"

Nascent Soul is called True Lord.

God Transformation is called Venerable.

Mu Ji stroked his beard and nodded: "An'an's talent is too strong."

Just as everyone was speaking, the sky above their heads suddenly darkened.

A huge shadow swept over the bamboo courtyard from the sky.

Xu Changqing and the others all looked up together, only to see a giant fish, entirely silver-white, slowly descending from the heavens above.

The fish was shaped like a whale, with two wings growing on its back.

Its scales shimmered with a fluorescent light like flowing water; every ray of light was so pure it seemed extracted from the very source of water origin.

When it swung its long tail, ripples spread through the surrounding space, just like water waves spreading out ring by ring!
