A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Eastern Region had largely calmed down.
The major top-tier forces offered lavish gifts to the Ye Family, smoothing over major issues and resolving minor ones.
Seeing that the Ye Family was no longer pursuing the matter, the major top-tier forces breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the only passage connecting the Eastern Region to the outer regions remained blocked by a terrifying poisonous miasma. Some who didn't believe in its lethality took large amounts of antidote pills in advance, attempting to test the periphery of the miasma, but the result was... they were directly poisoned to death!
This instilled even greater awe and respect for the poisonous miasma among the people of the Eastern Region.
Then, on this particular day, the poisonous miasma suddenly contracted, coalescing into a jade-green pill. A giant hand then descended from the heavens and took the jade-green poison pill away.
It vanished without a trace.
And from this day forward, the poisonous miasma in the Eastern Region was gone!
This filled the people of the Eastern Region with both shock and joy.
The shock came from the fact that the poisonous miasma had existed for at least a thousand years, perhaps even longer, only to suddenly condense into a pill!
What did this imply? It implied that the poisonous miasma was artificially created, solely for the purpose of refining a poison pill!
The joy stemmed from the fact that with the poisonous miasma no longer blocking the way between the Eastern Region and the outer regions, they could venture into the outer regions to seek opportunities.
Between the Eastern Region and the outer regions lay a boundless sea. Crossing this sea was extremely difficult for those of lower cultivation levels.
It was likely that anyone below the Spirit Sea Realm would face a near-certain death trying to cross this sea. Even Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses would need to carry a large supply of Spirit Stones to constantly replenish their spiritual energy.
At this moment, the outer region closest to the Eastern Region was called the Eastern Extreme Region.
To the people of the Eastern Extreme Region, the Eastern Region was not called the Eastern Region, but rather the Eastern Desolate Region.
This was because some powerhouses had traveled to the Eastern Region when the poisonous miasma was not yet as potent.
They found the Eastern Region too barren, with extremely sparse spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the air of the Eastern Region was so thin that even martial artists from the Eastern Extreme Region were unwilling to travel there.
But at this moment, at the border of the Eastern Extreme Region.
Powerful figures stood thousands of meters in the sky, hands behind their backs, their gazes profound as they looked out at the vast, boundless sea.
They too had learned of the disappearance of the poisonous miasma.
"To think that a supreme being would spend over a thousand years just to refine a single poison pill. Whoever can consume this pill must possess a naturally poisonous constitution."
The powerhouses of the Eastern Extreme Region narrowed their eyes, gazing at the boundless sea, then turned and stepped into the void, departing.
Meanwhile, the younger generation of the Eastern Extreme Region was now filled with curiosity about the Eastern Region on the other side of the sea.
Thus, many of the younger generation from the Eastern Extreme Region boarded flying ships and set off for what they considered the barren Eastern Region.
At the Ye Family residence at this moment.
Ye Wuchen and the others had naturally also learned that the poisonous miasma in the Eastern Region had disappeared.
Ye Wuchen's eyes showed a hint of longing, and he then discussed with his family members.
The matter of leaving the Eastern Region next.
After a series of discussions, it was decided that the vast majority of the Ye Family would remain here.
Because the Ye Family already possessed three spirit veins, coupled with the spirit mines outside, the Ye Family members were not lacking in cultivation resources for the time being. They would cultivate peacefully within the Ye Family first, and only leave the Eastern Region after reaching the King Wu realm.
The only ones leaving the Eastern Region this time were Ye Wuchen and Ye Hao.
Ye Wuchen wanted to bring Qiao Qingxue along, but Qiao Qingxue politely declined, saying she had no shortage of cultivation resources here and would head to the outer regions when she ran out.
Ye Wuchen didn't insist further, knowing that Qiao Qingxue didn't want to be a burden to him.
At the courtyard where Ye Hao resided.
"Young Master, will you take us with you?" the Lin Shige sisters asked nervously.
Ye Hao gently shook his head, "We'll be strangers in a strange land when we first arrive. Once I establish myself there, I'll come back for you."
Ye Hao naturally couldn't bear to part with the Lin Shige sisters. These two sisters were well-behaved, sensible, and very obedient; he truly couldn't bear to leave them.
The Lin Shige sisters' expressions turned dejected. They had grown accustomed to living with Ye Hao and considered him the center of their lives.
"What about me then?" Song Qingxue asked Ye Hao at this moment.
Ye Hao glanced at her faintly, "You can stay at the Ye Family, or you can return to your Song Family. However, remember your identity."
Song Qingxue wanted to speak but stopped. She looked at Ye Hao, wishing she could say that she was utterly devoted to him...
After a moment of silence, Song Qingxue looked at Ye Hao with determined eyes, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Ye Hao chuckled lightly, "I'm not leaving in a hurry. Before I go, I still have a month to spend with my family. After all, this departure means returning might be years later."
Upon hearing this, the Lin Shige sisters immediately showed expressions of reluctance. Years...
Song Qingxue couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance as well. During this period, from being tormented by Ye Hao at the beginning, to him no longer making things difficult for her later, she felt content.
Afterward, she found that Ye Hao was actually quite a decent person…
Afterward, she realized she had fallen.
"Young Master… we'll spend the day with you today…" the Lin Shige sisters said then.
"Me too," Song Qingxue added.
Ye Hao nodded.
Three days passed in a flash.
Ye Hao was content. Being content, he didn't desire more. Instead, he spent his days drinking and chatting with the young men and women of the Ye Family, as well as the elders.
Ye Hao sent Song Qingxue back to the Song Family. At the same time, he asked the Lin Shige sisters to go with her. Since the Lin Shige sisters had started following him, they rarely went out, spending most of their time at the Ye Family. He worried that the Lin Shige sisters would become disconnected from the outside world.
At night, the Ye Family was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, brightly lit, and a hundred tables of banquet food were laid out.
The Ye Family members chatted and drank, and also discussed recent events.
Ye Han took a sip of wine and said to the people at his table, "I heard someone from an outer region has come to our Eastern Region. The region closest to us is called the Eastern Extreme Region. I wonder what the Eastern Extreme Region is like."
Ye Feng took a sip of wine, completely unconcerned. "If you want to know what the Eastern Extreme Region is like, once our cultivation reaches the Spirit Sea Realm, we can fly to the Eastern Extreme Region. We can just go and see for ourselves then."
Ye Chen ate two peanuts and said calmly, "With our Ye Family's strength, even in the Eastern Extreme Region, we should still be quite impressive, right?"
"We should ask Uncle Wuchen about that. I heard Uncle Wuchen has been to an outer region before," a young man from the Ye Family said.
"Ye Hao, do you know what the Eastern Extreme Region looks like?" Ye Feng asked Ye Hao at this point, curiously. "Did Uncle Wuchen mention it?"
Ye Hao ate two peanuts, saying calmly as he ate, "I heard the Eastern Extreme Region is filled with beauties, with peerless women of exceptional grace."
The young men of the Ye Family perked up instantly upon hearing this.
Ye Feng looked at Ye Hao with anticipation in his eyes. "Are they as beautiful as Song Qingxue?"
In their eyes, Song Qingxue was already extremely beautiful.
From a factual perspective, Song Qingxue's beauty was indeed high, but she was only of upper-class beauty. Compared to true peerless beauty, she was still quite a distance away.
Ye Hao couldn't help but think of Dong Moli...
During his hundred years in the Otherworldly realm, he had been deceived by Dong Moli for three years. Although he harbored immense hatred for Dong Moli, in terms of appearance, Dong Moli could be considered truly peerless.
