For Zhang Yu, the following days of the flight were less tedious and more filled with indescribable "fun".
During the day, he either deduced the details of the Divine Dynasty's construction in the quiet room, or discussed the situation with Shadow Kill and others;
As night fell, he was inevitably forced to help the Xiao Fenghua sisters increase their Cultivation.
However, he knew his limits and did not become overly addicted.
Although his vital energy was somewhat depleted, with his solid foundation Late Heavenly Immortal, he could withstand it, treating it merely as a break from the monotonous journey.
This "nightly revelry" left another person with mixed feelings, a bitter taste in their mouth.
Ever since Xiao Meier caught them in the act that night and she left in shame and anger, Hu Qingxuan had been hiding in her cabin for several days, not daring to come out and see anyone.
But the expectant, anxious, and even pleading looks in the eyes of her master Zhang Ziyun, her Martial Uncle Shen Bixia, and all the elders and fellow disciples of the Medical Immortal Valley were like invisible whips lashing at her.
She understood that the future, even the very survival, of the Medical Immortal Valley might truly depend on whether she could "climb" onto Zhang Yu's towering tree.
Under immense pressure regarding the survival of her sect, Hu Qingxuan gritted her teeth and mustered her courage once again.
She tried to "bump into" Zhang Yu, and when he was alone, leaning against the railing watching the clouds, she brought him a cup of spiritual tea that she had personally prepared, which had a calming and concentration effect.
She made excuses to ask about some "difficult problems" in her cultivation, trying to get closer to him;
She even changed into a more figure-flattering dress, applied light Fendai, and "casually" walked past places where Zhang Yu might appear...
However, the results were minimal.
Zhang Yu maintained a polite yet distant attitude towards her throughout. When she showed him kindness, he would either accept it calmly with thanks or give a brief explanation and then make an excuse to leave. After that night, he rarely spent time alone with her.
What made Hu Qingxuan feel even more helpless was that the Xiao Family's two sisters seemed to regard her as their number one "target of suspicion".
Whenever she tried to get close to Zhang Yu, Xiao Meier would always "coincidentally" appear, either affectionately taking Zhang Yu's arm to assert her dominance, or using her sharp, warning gaze to drive her back;
Even Xiao Fenghua, who appears aloof and taciturn, would intentionally or unintentionally stand between her and Zhang Yu; that silent protection and rejection was equally obvious.
Hu Qingxuan felt bitter and ashamed, yet helpless.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the impure feelings that Hu Qingxuan had harbored due to the circumstances were gradually replaced by frustration and despair.
She knew that this path was probably a dead end.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, she shouldn't have followed her sect's arrangements and approached him in this way.
Seeing the occasional tacit understanding and warmth between Zhang Yu and the Xiao Family sisters, she could only bury her bitterness deep inside, silently retreating to her own corner, focusing more on taking care of her fellow disciples and dealing with her inner torment.
In this complex and indescribable atmosphere, time quietly slipped away.
The fifth day, early morning.
The Flying Boat passed through the last dense sea of clouds, and the familiar landscape of the Eastern Domain below gradually became clear.
As the Flying Boat slowly descended and landed towards the majestic mountains shrouded in Grand Formation and displaying ever-changing weather, everyone in the cabin could feel a solemn yet exciting atmosphere wash over them.
The Flying Boat came to a steady stop in a wide square.
The hatch opened, Zhang Yu stepped out first, followed by Xiao Fenghua and Xiao Meier on either side, half a step behind.
Behind them were Xiao Xuan, Prince Jing, Shadow Kill, and the anxious members of the Immortal Medical Immortal Valley.
As soon as everyone disembarked, they were taken aback by the scene before them.
The square was already packed with people, numbering in the thousands!
These people possessed a profound aura, and their Cultivation level was at least that of Land Immortal. Among them, there were dozens of Heavenly Immortal auras.
They stood in two neat rows, their expressions solemn, their eyes filled with fervent reverence and anticipation.
The leader was none other than Li Yuansheng.
His hair and beard were all white, but he was still very energetic.
Behind him were several elders of the Li Family who also exuded Heavenly Immortal aura, as well as various experts whom Zhang Yu had subdued years ago and who had now become the core force of the Li Family.
"Welcome back, Lord!"
"Welcome back in triumph, Lord!"
Led by Li Yuansheng, thousands of cultivators present bowed in unison, their voices like thunder, soaring into the sky and causing the surrounding mountains to hum, demonstrating their unparalleled respect and support for Zhang Yu.
It turned out that Zhang Yu's astonishing feat of Fortune Incarnation back the incarnation of Emperor Ji Wuxiang of the Primal Origin Divine Dynasty outside Yuhua Prefecture with a single sword strike had already been transmitted back to the Li Family Ancestral Land through secret channels at the fastest speed.
When the news was confirmed, the entire Li Family was in an uproar!
That's the Fortune Incarnation of Half-step Supreme powerhouse.
The head of his own family was actually able to contend with him and even force him to retreat.
What astonishing Combat Power, what Supreme glory!
This means that the Li Family, Lineage that once lived in a remote corner of the eastern Eastern Domain, has come to power.
Under Zhang Yu's leadership, they not only possessed overwhelming strength, but also truly earned the right to join the ranks of the world's top powers.
A supreme expert capable of contending with Half-step Supreme (Incarnation) is a force to be reckoned with, enough to make any power take notice.
Everyone was filled with unprecedented pride, excitement, and boundless anticipation for the future.
Looking at the passionate scene before him, Zhang Yu felt a slight ripple in his heart.
He slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. His gaze swept over the excited and loyal faces, finally landing on Li Yuansheng, where he nodded.
Li Yuansheng understood and stepped forward, about to report on the recent situation, when he saw that Xiao Fenghua and Xiao Meier had also followed behind Zhang Yu.
After being nourished by the rain and dew for the past few days, the two women looked radiant and even more beautiful.
Especially the unintentional intimacy between them and Zhang Yu; anyone with eyes could tell that their relationship was quite close.
Li Yuansheng and the others naturally dared not ask any further questions, but instead felt that it was a wonderful story that their lord had such a beautiful woman by his side.
However, a burning gaze in the crowd instantly turned cold.
Zhang Lingyun stood not far behind Li Yuansheng. She was also overjoyed by Zhang Yu's brilliant achievements and safe return, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and pride.
But when she saw Xiao Fenghua and Xiao Meier standing on either side of Zhang Yu, especially Xiao Meier's intimate posture that was almost clinging to Zhang Yu, the smile on her face instantly froze.
An indescribable sense of grievance and jealousy quietly spread through her heart.
At the same time, everyone in the Xiao Family, including Xiao Xuan and Prince Jing, was also deeply shocked by the grand and majestic scene before them, as well as the terrifying strength displayed by the Li Family.
They knew Zhang Yu was extraordinary, and that his Cultivation now unparalleled, but they never expected that he had not only reached the pinnacle of personal strength, but had also quietly accumulated such a powerful and terrifying force under his command.
This is no ordinary strongman; he is clearly the foundation of a powerful force!
Looking at the thousands of Land Immortal and dozens of Heavenly Immortal who treated Zhang Yu with utmost respect and fervent worship.
Xiao Xuan was filled with emotion, and at the same time felt extremely fortunate and proud of his "investment" foresight back then.
Prince Jing and the others were so excited they could hardly contain themselves, their eyes filled with the implication that they "must hold on tight" as they looked at Xiao Fenghua and Xiao Meier.
The people of the Medical Immortal Valley were filled with nothing but shock, endless fear, and regret.
Zhang Yu took in everyone's reactions and understood what was going on, but said nothing.
His gaze calmly swept across the entire room, and finally he spoke in a clear voice that reached everyone's ears:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back."
Despite some setbacks, the trip was very rewarding.
From this day forward, the Li Family shall have a new beginning!
He paused, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp and resolute, and an invisible aura of authority and imposing power slowly emanated from him.
"Issue my decree: three days from now, at the Ancestral Land Altar, offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, establish our lineage, and open— the Divine Dynasty!"
"The name of this Divine Dynasty shall be— Great Xia!"
"Boom!"
Zhang Yu's words were like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, exploding in everyone's hearts!
After a brief silence, there came an even more frenzied cheer and shouts that seemed to pierce the sky!
"I will obey the Edict of Your Majesty!"
"Great Xia! Great Xia! Great Xia!"
The sound was like a tidal wave, shaking the surrounding area.
