Outer Domain Visitors Reunite with Kin

The Golden Bell tolls over Kunling, its sound echoing for miles.

It hung in the night sky, then disappeared straight into the clouds, its power reaching the heavens.

It is said that this is a broken bell that fell from Jade Capital, and it should not be struck unless a major emergency occurs.

Golden ripples spread out in concentric circles, illuminating the entire cloud layer with tangible bell waves. Amidst the grand sound, the sky became completely clear.

Clearly, this is a turbulent time; including today, the Golden Bell has rung three times in a year.

In the Kunling Territory, everyone was stunned. What was happening? Many people stared at the clouds bathed in golden light, their bodies stiff and their faces blank. Was another Heavenly Change about to occur?

At the instant the bell rang, dozens of Lightning Bird disappeared into the night fog, shining brightly like shooting stars, vanishing in an instant.

They pierced through the clouds and mist, flying towards distant lands, their destinations being the various Ancestral Land.

"Ring ring!"

On their legs hang pure white bells, rippling gently, their sounds reaching the hearts of creatures along the way.

This is a rare treasure that can resonate with one's Mental Field.

No one may obstruct the journey, for this precious bell was personally crafted by the Ancestor and holds special significance.

"A message from Jade Bell: It's extremely urgent!"

In the long night, even the city lords felt their scalps tingle upon hearing this strange bell sound; it was the last thing they wanted to hear in a "message."

Sometimes, the lack of news is the best news.

The appearance of the Jade Bell could very well mean that chaos is about to break out in the world.

Dozens of Lightning Bird to various parts of Night Prefecture, causing Xuanran.

"Hiss, visitors from Foreign Domain! Several Grandmaster Level experts have appeared in Kunling."

The Imperial Dynasty, the Ancestral Court of various religions, and super organizations were all alarmed that day. Many Old Senior emerged from seclusion and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"The visitors from Outer Domain the Sixth Realm have quietly infiltrated Kunling, their movements extremely mysterious. They have frequented various universities, forbidden lands, and Evil Land, as if they are searching for something."

Moreover, powerful beings from Outer Domain have entered the layers of misty space, seemingly investigating the earthen Earthen City connected to Jade Capital.

These phenomena were discovered and revealed by the Heavenly Inspection Divine Mirror of Kunling Territory, and the Grandmaster- level figures immediately rang the Golden Bell to warn others and seek help from the Ancestor of various paths.

Throughout Night Prefecture, one after another, the Great Sun rose into the sky, like a rainbow piercing the heavens, tearing through the dark night and rushing towards the Kunling Territory.

Many people were frightened. Could it be that the great war with the Demon Civilization had just ended, and a new war was about to begin?

As night fell, all the cities fell into a brief silence. Last time, all the roads were draped in white mourning clothes, and too many people died. Now, no one wanted to reignite the war.

Among the visitors from Outer Domain, an elder spoke up, "I've already said it, Night Prefecture is different from other places; the waters run deep. Even without Earth Immortal guarding it, some remnants of treasure remain. Even we, if we're too high-profile, will be discovered immediately."

They had been in Night Prefecture for half a month. Some people returned to their old haunts, reminiscing about something, while others went in and out of some important places, exploring the ruins.

The Ancestor of various religions had already gathered along the way and arrived very quickly. From a distance, they could see some super mounts, such as the Earth Tyrannosaur, the Golden Butterfly, and the Jade Rhino.

The visitors from Outer Domain did not flee; they actually waited in Kunling.

Under the night fog, among them, some had white hair, some were in their prime, and some looked rather young; the age range was quite wide.

In the battle in the Western Territory, all routes in Night Prefecture suffered heavy losses. Some of the Ancestor died in battle, and those who survived were all injured, with some even forced into seclusion.

The number of people appearing now is naturally far less than in its heyday.

However, the Ancestor who descended upon Kunling were all formidable figures, such as Leng Mingkong, He Lian Chengyun, the Present Tathagata, and Old Senior in the Esoteric Sect known as "the Immortals."

"We mean no harm. In fact, some of us were born here and are natives of Night Prefecture," an Old Woman among the visitors from Outer Domain said.

In Night Prefecture, all the Ancestor were taken aback. Had the person who had entered the depths of the Night Mist World returned?

At this moment, they were both standing Kunlun City, the snow-covered ground stretching as far as the eye could see, several miles apart.

For Grandmaster Level like him, this is no different from being face-to-face.

Even with heavy casualties, Night Prefecture still held an absolute numerical advantage. As they moved forward, the people opposite them showed goodwill and approached.

"Huh? Chengyun, you're still alive! That's wonderful!"

Across from them, the Old Woman who had spoken earlier was somewhat agitated. Upon noticing He Lian Chengyun in the crowd, her eyes even turned red.

She gazed at the young man clad in Scarlet Gold Armor, staring at the red mark between his brows, sensing his familiar, cold demeanor, and confirming his identity.

Although He Lian Chengyun is a veteran in the field of road construction, he doesn't look old and is still full of vigor.

At this moment, even his usually calm and composed State of Mind was stirred. He stared blankly at the person opposite him and tentatively called out, "Zhao Lin... Senior Sister?"

In the past, the two almost became dao companion.

Zhao Lin's master is He Lian Chengyun's uncle. Five hundred years ago, that Ancestor of the Immortal Path led several disciples to the depths of the Night Mist World.

According to the sealed records of the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land, the Immortal Path took the initiative to send experts to explore distant places, but unfortunately, those who went never returned.

"Zhuo Qingya... Senior Brother?" Among the visitors from Outer Domain, an old man looked at the Ancestor of the Heavenly God Palace, an important sect of the Esoteric Sect, with an uncertain tone.

After all, they had been separated for over five hundred years, and back then they were both in their prime.

The Ancestor of the Esoteric Sect Zhuo Qingya, stared ahead and asked, "You are... Junior Brother Lu Yuzhang?"

"Is that the one our grandmaster jokingly appointed back then... the Little Tathagata?" Among the visitors from Outer Domain, a bald old man with Golden Haze shining from his eyes looked towards the Ancestor of the New Life Path.

In fact, the Present Tathagata had been watching him closely, and his mind was far from at peace. He had already discerned with his "Eyes of Wisdom" that the man was likely the former Martial Uncle's eldest disciple.

However, the two have been separated for more than five hundred years, and with the passage of time, they are very different from what they were in the past.

"You are... Senior Brother Slaying Dragon?"

"It's me, Little Tathagata! You've grown so tall!"

No one expected that the Golden Bell, a divine treasure that fell from Jade Capital, would cause a "Heavenly Change" after it was rung, but instead, the place became a large-scale family reunion.

Some of the relatively "young" Ancestor were lost in thought, mistaking it for a great enemy attacking. In reality, they were all Old Senior who had left Night Prefecture.

These people didn't leave Night Prefecture together back then, but it seems they all ended up in the same area.

"Senior Brother, now that you've returned, why haven't you gone back to the Ancestral Court, but instead linger outside?"

"Alas, I feel apprehensive as I approach my hometown. More than five hundred years have passed, and I worry that things have changed beyond recognition. Since returning to my homeland, I have been wandering around, reminiscing about the past, and trying to understand the changes that have taken place over the past few centuries."

That day, the world was shaken; cities were in uproar under the cover of night, and people were stunned.

This isn't some sensational headline written with exaggerated language by the Night Report's "Shocking News Department"; it's a genuine shock that has resonated with people all over the world.

Hundreds of years ago, some Ancestor led their disciples away from Night Prefecture to explore New World. Even those disciples have broken through to become Ancestor, and today they have returned.

Among these people, the earliest group left nearly 600 years ago, and the group that left slightly closer to the present has been gone for 480 years.

"Investigate further, report back!" Even the leaders of some large organizations were itching to find out the truth: where did this group go, why were they missing for hundreds of years, and why did they suddenly return?

Subsequently, various rumors circulated.

Among those who returned were relatives of the contemporary Ancestor.

For example, the Ancestor Sky-Pillar, who is involved in the New Life Path, has his second son, who disappeared more than 500 years ago, return.

Originally, Sky-Pillar had suffered a severe injury and was in seclusion, but he was so shocked that he walked out of the Secret Chamber.

"Father, your unfilial son has lingered outside the mountain gate for many days, not daring to enter the Ancestral Court. He has not been able to share your worries, but has instead disturbed your recovery."

Sky-Pillar stared at him for a long time, then asked, "Are you really my offspring?"

"Father, you don't recognize me anymore?" Sky-Pillar's second son, with his white hair and tears in his eyes, knelt down with a thud, using his knees to push against the ground and move his body forward.

In the following days, the news spread like wildfire throughout Night Prefecture, reaching everything from brightly lit cities to remote villages.

Qin Ming was also stunned. He only heard the news four days later when a traveling merchant came to the nearby Silver Vine Town.

It can only be said that the Black White Mountain area is too remote, and communication is not smooth.

He pondered this for a long time; this matter had significant implications. What area did those people explore back then? Did they all settle in the same place deep within the Night Mist World?

At the same time, he was very concerned about whether any disciples of the Ancestor of the Silk Book Method had returned.

Some truths are gradually being revealed.

This time, a total of over eighty people entered Night Prefecture, but clearly only a portion of them were returning to their homeland.

"In the distance, there lies a vast and magnificent kingdom, its territory Vast and Boundless, its majestic mountains and rivers adorned with brocade, its towering peaks stretching like dragons. A land blessed with natural beauty and abundant resources, it has produced countless heroes and talented individuals. Numerous Giant City, each more imposing than the last, are scattered throughout the land. Its cultivation civilization flourishes, its ancient texts and Secret Technique Ruyan..."

The news immediately caused a sensation throughout the country.

Most importantly, that glorious civilization belonged to a powerful nation of humankind.

In the days that followed, everyone was talking about that dazzling human civilization in the distance, sparking a nationwide discussion.

Night Report, World Report, and Day Report spared no effort in reporting extensively, presenting a vast and magnificent world to the people.

Many people yearn for it and wish they could travel far and wide to experience it for themselves.

"Earth Immortal being resides there!"

Every new piece of news that comes out is enough to stir one's emotions.

It should be noted that Night Prefecture is extremely wary of civilizations with Earth Immortal, and now that they have heard that a cultivation civilization has flourished to such an extent in a human-dominated country, they are naturally very excited.

"There are even those Seven-Day Accumulator, some of whom have successfully reached the Seventh Realm without changing their life form."

The news shocked the world.

In Night Prefecture, with the continuous expansion of roads, each generation is generally stronger than the last. In this era, if certain Ancestor of extreme fields wish to change their life form, they may well become Earth Immortal.

For example, Leng Mingkong, He Lian Chengyun, and others.

However, the Ancestor of Night Prefecture had no interest in this.

They wanted to maintain their original form, sweep away all obstacles, break through the Heavenly Gate, and establish themselves in the Seventh Realm.

Currently, in distant human realms, they have already ventured into that area. The message brought back by those who left has truly caused a major upheaval.

It is said that in recent days, the seeds of the Esoteric Sect, the Beyond the Mundane, and the New Life Path have been in close contact and engaging in enthusiastic exchanges with the young people who have traveled from afar.

Some Immortal Seed and God Seed even wished to travel far away to that mysterious kingdom to further their studies and improve themselves.

That brilliant human civilization, located in the southwest of Night Prefecture, took root in a vast and beautiful land, where it was highly prosperous and flourishing, and was at least 1.5 million miles away from the open paths of Night Prefecture.

"Most importantly, traveling between the two places requires passing through a foggy area where there is a 'gate,' which seems to be a shortcut."

Otherwise, it would be difficult to say exactly how far apart the two places are.

Outside, the atmosphere was in uproar, with a flood of news shattering the peace.

At Black White Mountain, Qin Ming seemed to be isolated from the world. No matter how much turmoil was happening in the distance, he remained unmoved and quietly cultivated.

The return of a "wanderer" who has traveled far away is almost universally admired and dominates all the hot topics of conversation.

Of course, amidst all the heated discussions, there were also some "discordant" voices. For example, "Truth Report" once expressed its opinion, questioning why those people had been silent for so long.

"The predecessors who traveled far away were fortunate; they successfully avoided the two bloody battles of 450 years ago. In that era, almost all the Ancestor perished. But in this life, if they had returned two months earlier, with their cultivation and experience, they would have been able to display their extraordinary talents in this era's external wars, and perhaps even make up for some of the 'regrets' of that time."

These words were slightly barbed, but they did resonate with some people.

However, there were few extreme remarks from any side, and everyone refrained from making any excessive statements.

Throughout history, many masters from Night Prefecture have ventured into the depths of the Night Mist World, but most have never returned, their fates remaining a mystery. It is truly rare for such a large group to return like this.

That incomparably glorious human civilization is very important to Night Prefecture. If there are no problems, many experts from all walks of life would like to travel there.

"Let the winds blow from the east, west, south, or north, I will continue my cultivation!" Qin Ming sat cross-legged under the Black White Tree, gradually merging himself with the two trees into one, transforming into Yin Yang Diagram, with Black and White energy swirling rapidly around him.
