Even by Space Wormhole, the journey to Central State took quite a long time.
During this time, Hun Tianchen cultivated diligently aboard the Space Ship, preparing to break through to Dou Venerate.
To repay Hun Tianchen, Qinglin actually became his personal maid, taking exceptionally thoughtful care of his daily life.
This Space Ship was exclusive to the Hall of Souls. Its interior was absurdly spacious, as large as a house, with everything one could need inside.
Whenever Hun Tianchen wanted tea, Qinglin would pour him a cup at just the right moment.
Whenever he was tired, Qinglin would massage his back and shoulders.
It could be said that he was living an exceedingly comfortable life, and Hun Tianchen suddenly felt that having such a considerate maid was rather nice.
Whenever he wanted food, Qinglin would prepare delicious lunches and dinners for him.
Although he no longer needed to eat at his level of cultivation, he still maintained the habit.
It was so that he would not forget that he was a person from Earth, someone who had transmigrated from Earth, rather than some Dou Zong or Dou Venerate.
At the same time, aboard the ship, he had already acquired the preliminary ability to treat Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body, gradually nursing her body back to health.
As for Ziyan, she was even more bored. After entering the Space Wormhole, she could no longer use her treasure-hunting talent to find herbs rich in energy, so she clung to Hun Tianchen every day and demanded that he refine medicinal pills for her.
In response, Hun Tianchen merely smiled indulgently and refined pills for her to eat in minutes.
Ziyan was now a Three-Star Dou Emperor. Her strength was not weak, and her cultivation speed was incredibly fast.
The Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python slept most of the time, only waking occasionally to ask Hun Tianchen for the Holy Power it craved.
Hun Tianchen found these women with unusual constitutions rather troublesome, and could only patiently nurture them and get along with them properly.
Still, this sort of time was quite nice.
At least, that was what Hun Tianchen thought.
The main reason was that the atmosphere within the Hun Clan and the Hall of Souls was far too gloomy and sinister. They believed firmly in the law of the jungle: whoever was weak, whoever had no value, had not the slightest status.
He personally disliked that kind of atmosphere.
Thus, Hun Tianchen wanted to change it.
Therefore, during these days, he had not forgotten to interact with the people of the Hall of Souls. He even drank with them and discussed cultivation. Once they became familiar, he told them jokes and laughed around with them.
Gradually, the people of the Hall of Souls all came to feel that Hun Tianchen was a good person. After all, he was the Young Clan Leader, yet he was willing to pay attention to people like them, who were dispensable to the Hun Clan.
They even chatted happily together, and everyone spoke highly of Hun Tianchen.
Hun Tianchen saw everything clearly. He handled matters neither too quickly nor too slowly, and understood things even more clearly in his heart.
This matter could not be rushed. The Hall of Souls' impression of him had already changed greatly. Before long, the Hall of Souls would become his personal possession.
Hun Tianchen had immense confidence that he could accomplish it.
He would begin by changing the atmosphere of the Hall of Souls, then transform the Hun Clan in one stroke!
As for Gu Xun'er...
Ever since she had followed Hun Tianchen, Gu Xun'er had kept a cold expression and would not say a single word all day, as though she were mute.
However, Hun Tianchen did not concern himself with her. He merely instructed others to take good care of her, ensure she was well fed, and provide her with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for cultivation, even medicinal pills.
Gu Xun'er did not accept their goodwill. She simply cultivated on her own, certain that they would not dare lay a hand on her.
Meanwhile, Hun Miesheng reported Xiao Yan's situation to Hun Tianchen on time every day.
"Young Master, the Xiao Clan of the Jia Ma Empire has been destroyed by the Misty Cloud Sect. Xiao Yan fled in misery with the Xiao Clan members, but there are very few of them left now."
"The specifics?"
"Xiao Zhan was severely wounded. Xiao Yan is now a Dou Shi. He had originally been doing quite well in Wū Tǎn City, but the appearance of the Misty Cloud Sect dealt them a crushing blow. The current sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect is Yun Shan. With our help, Yun Shan's cultivation broke through to the strength of a Five-Star Dou Ancestor. Once Yun Shan acted, the Xiao Clan nearly suffered total extermination."
"The Xiao Clan is no longer what it once was. Only a tenth of their former manpower remains, but they have cunningly hidden themselves throughout every corner of the Jia Ma Empire, and even the Misty Cloud Sect can do nothing about them."
"What else?"
"There is a very strange power inside Xiao Yan's body. It was actually able to fight Yun Shan and hold him back for a time. That was precisely why the Xiao Clan was not wiped out."
"Furthermore, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's Mo Tie Mercenary Group was completely annihilated. However, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were quite lucky and narrowly escaped with their lives. In my view, they should have reunited with Xiao Yan by now."
"Young Master, I don't really understand why you are paying so much attention to such an insignificant person." Hun Miesheng was puzzled.
"An insignificant person?" Hun Tianchen shook his head helplessly.
One had to know that this insignificant person would be capable of ruining the Hun Clan's grand plan in the future.
Although he could tell Hun Tiandi about this now, as a Son of Destiny, would Xiao Yan truly have no other way to grow?
As long as Xiao Yan could not be eliminated in an instant, even killing him by force would result in severe backlash, perhaps even damage to one's own Luck Force. That was practically the same as perishing together. Hun Tianchen did not yet have the means to perish together with Xiao Yan.
Perhaps he would die while Xiao Yan continued living just fine.
That was the reason Xiao Yan was protected by such an enormous amount of Luck Force, making him so difficult to kill.
And that was precisely why Hun Tianchen had created the Soul Dragon Fighting Technique himself!
Xiao Yan happened to possess an abundance of Luck Force, so Hun Tianchen could slowly devour it bit by bit.
Once he had devoured all the Luck Force on Xiao Yan's body, Hun Tianchen would become the new Son of Destiny!
The thread of Hun Tianchen's Dou Qi that he had planted in Xiao Yan during their previous encounter was truly immensely useful.
Even if the tiny Soul Dragon hidden within that Dou Qi had only devoured one ten-thousandth of Xiao Yan's Luck Force, it had brought Hun Tianchen tremendous gains, even giving him the opportunity to advance to Dou Venerate.
"As expected of a Son of Destiny." Hun Tianchen let out a long breath and waved his hand. "I do not wish to say more about this matter. Hall Master, you only need to do as I say."
"Yes, Young Master." Hun Miesheng no longer held any dissatisfaction in his heart regarding Hun Tianchen's attitude.
Such days continued for some time. Finally, the day they emerged from the Space Wormhole arrived.
The moment he exited the wormhole, Hun Tianchen was dumbfounded.
Because the one who had come to receive them was none other than Hun Tiandi himself!
Hun Tiandi approached with a smile, leading a large number of Hun Clan members.
"Hahahaha, Tianchen, the surprise you have brought me is simply enormous!" Hun Tiandi said excitedly as he patted Hun Tianchen on the shoulder.
"Greetings, Clan Leader!"
The Hall of Souls members behind Hun Tianchen dropped to both knees in unison and called out respectfully.
"Rise!" Hun Tiandi laughed heartily. His gaze toward Hun Tianchen was filled with satisfaction. "You truly obtained the Tou She Ancient God Jade of the Xiao Clan?"
Hun Tianchen smiled faintly, took out the Ancient Jade, and tossed it to Hun Tiandi.
"I obtained it."
