Returning to Gan Yang Realm

Green Plum Realm, Green Plum Island.

In the Green Plum Garden, Jiang Xueying and Xu Qingyun sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

"Still haven't found the Spatial Node leading to the Heaven Origin Realm?"

Jiang Xueying frowned and said, "Many cultivators from the Green Plum Realm are trapped in the Heaven Origin Realm and cannot return."

"Not yet. Fellow Daoist Huo and the others have already returned to the Lingxu Realm, leaving us with a mess to clean up."

Xu Qingyun sighed.

Jiang Xueying took out a Dharma Disk that shimmered with white light, cast a spell, and a respectful male voice sounded, "Master, Senior Shen has arrived."

"Fellow Daoist Shen? Quickly invite him to the Green Plum Garden."

Jiang Xueying gave the instructions.

"Yes, Master."

The man agreed.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Shen has fully recovered, otherwise he wouldn't have come."

Xu Qingyun said with a smile.

Not long after, Shen Long walked in.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's been a long time."

Shen Long greeted him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what is the current situation in the Heaven Origin Realm? How did you get here?"

Jiang Xueying asked.

Shen Long answered truthfully, and then asked about Huo Tianxing's situation.

"Fellow Daoist Huo has already returned to the Lingxu Realm. They are engaged in a fierce battle with the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race in the Yin Underworld Realm."

Xu Qingyun told the truth.

The cultivators from the Big Dipper Pavilion used the Inter-Realm Communication Array to contact Green Plum Realm and explained the whole story. The cultivators from the Lingxu Realm had all returned, leaving the cultivators from the Lower Realm to clean up the mess.

"No wonder we hadn't heard from them. Turns out they've returned to the Lingxu Realm."

Shen Long suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief. Since cultivators from the Lingxu Realm Lower Realm, he rarely had any rivals in the Lower Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what are your plans next?"

Xu Qingyun asked.

"I plan to return to the Gan Yang Realm with my disciples. Of course, the Heaven Origin Realm cannot be entirely given to the Barbarian Race. We can jointly govern the Heaven Origin Realm with the Barbarian Race, and your Green Plum Realm will definitely be able to get a piece of land."

Shen Long said.

The Heaven Origin Realm cannot be entirely given to the Barbarian Race; the Human Race must also retain some manpower.

They discussed for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and reached a consensus: the Green Plum Realm and the Gan Yang Realm would each take 30%, the Barbarian Race would take 20%, and the remaining 20% would be distributed among the other realms, thus sharing the spoils of war.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xu, what exactly is that Spirit Realm cultivator's cave dwelling in the Yin Underworld Grotto-Heaven?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"I don't know. They didn't say. They just told us to clean up the mess. The Heaven Origin Race probably won't send anyone down to the Lower Realm unless something very precious appears Lower Realm."

Xu Qingyun said.

Shen Long nodded, chatted for half an hour, then took his leave. He was going to return to the Heaven Origin Realm and lead the cultivators of the Gan Yang Realm away.

······

The Bailing Realm, the Flying Feather Mountain Range.

In Flying Feather Garden, Wuhao and Lei Ting sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

"I have destroyed the Spatial Node leading to the Purple Eye Realm Purple Eye Realm; Human Race cultivators can no longer cross over from there."

Wu Hao said.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, in order to support your Flying Feather Race, our Thunder Roar Race lost five Nascent Spirit Transformation and hundreds of thousands of our clansmen. You won't go back on your promise to me, will you?"

"I'm speaking, "Lei Ting said with a grim face.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, why bother? That place is extremely dangerous; there's no need for us to take the risk."

Wu Hao frowned and said.

He and Lei Ting discovered an Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode in a dangerous place, suspected to be the Ascension Cave Abode of a cultivator from the Spirit Realm, but the restrictions were too strong.

They each took two Spirit Transformation cultivators with them to break the restriction, but the four Spirit Transformation cultivators were killed by the restriction, and they were also injured.

From then on, Wuhao dared not set foot in that place again, Lei Ting could not forget it.

"The Ascension Cave Abode of cultivators in the Spirit Realm must contain a lot of resources. I've collected several fourth-tier Thunder-Absorbing Bead and crafted a set of Spirit Treasure Transformation Thunder Bead, as well as a fifth-tier Talisman Celestial Phenomenon Talisman. If we go and break the restriction, we have a very good chance of succeeding. You're not going to break your promise, are you?"

Lei Ting looked displeased.

He spent over five hundred years preparing, hoping to obtain what was inside that Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode.

"That might not be the Ascension Cave Abode of a cultivator from the Spirit Realm! You don't need to be so fixated on it."

Wu Hao looked troubled.

"Fine! From now on, if your Flying Feather Race has any problems, don't come to our Thunder Roar Race. I'll go back and destroy the Spatial Node leading to the Bailing Realm. We'll never have anything to do with each other again."

Lei Ting's expression turned cold, and he got up and left.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, I'll go with you! But I'm warning you beforehand, if things don't work out, we'll retreat. I don't want to die there."

Wu Hao quickly called out to Lei Ting.

Without the Thunder Roar Race as an ally, the Flying Feather Race will be left to fend for themselves in any future troubles.

Lei Ting's expression softened, and he said, "No problem, that's more like it. You promised it yourself."

"Let me prepare. Last time was a lesson learned; we need to be fully prepared before we go."

Wu Hao suggested.

"That's natural, but we can't let it drag on for too long."

"That's what Lei Ting said."

Wu Hao nodded and agreed.

······

The Gan Yang Realm, the East Hua Cultivation World, the Spirit Control Sect.

A group of monks were on patrol, led by a tall man in a golden robe.

Most of the elites of the Spirit Control Sect were in other realms, leaving some disciples to the Spirit Control Sect. The man in the golden robe was named Su Yuxin, and he was a member of Su Changfeng's clan.

Thanks to Su Changfeng's connections, many members of the Su Family joined the Spirit Control Sect.

A streak of blue Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped in a flash. The Escape Light receded, revealing a Blue Flying Boat shimmering with blue light.

Shen Long and over a thousand other cultivators stood on top, while Yuan Rui, Master Ice Silkworm, Han Yuwei, Lin Yutong, and others were inside.

"Greetings, Grandmaster Shen and Grandmaster Yuan."

Su Yuxin quickly bowed, her expression respectful.

The disciples bowed respectfully, their expressions filled with excitement.

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Blue Flying Boat flew into the Spirit Control Sect, landing on a huge Bluestone Square, where everyone disembarked.

"We're back. We don't need to run around anymore. Junior Nephew Xu, send someone to take over the Barbarian Race territory!"

Shen Long gave the order.

Xu Yang acknowledged the order and left.

"Finally back home, it's so comfortable here."

Qian Dafu said with a smile.

"Nephew Qian, select a group of cultivators to accompany the Han family cultivators to the Heaven Origin Realm!"

Shen Long gave the order.

He planned to relocate some cultivators from the Gan Yang Realm to the Heaven Origin Realm, and the Han family, from which Han Yuwei Spirit Control Sect could also go to the Heaven Origin Realm to develop, while some disciples of the Spirit Control Sect would remain in the Heaven Origin Realm to establish branch sects.

"Yes, Grandmaster Shen."

Qian Dafu agreed and left to carry out the order.

Qian Dafu and the others dispersed, each going about their own business.

Back at Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long entered the Cultivation Room, lit a Calm Heart Incense, and placed it in a Golden Incense Burner.

He led over 100,000 cultivators back to the Gan Yang Realm from the Green Plum Realm in batches, including Chu Buyu, who was already at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage and preparing to go into seclusion to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm.

This Realm War lasted for more than two hundred years, involving more than a dozen interdimensional realms. More than two million cultivators perished, the Heaven Origin Realm was crippled, and the Gan Yang Realm was also severely weakened and needed to recuperate.

Shen Long Longjin has been in the Spirit Transmutation Realm for over a hundred years, while Thunder Peng has advanced to the fifth rank. He saved over two hundred years of arduous cultivation and also consumed fifth-rank pills to enhance his Law Power, making his Law Power increasingly profound. He is not far from the Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage.

He gave the Fire Wolf Staff to Wu Xiao and made Wu Xiao and Bi Shan promise not to harm Human Race cultivators from the Heaven Origin Realm, which Wu Xiao and Bi Shan agreed to.

Even if Shen Long didn't say it, they wouldn't dare to deal with Human Race cultivators. The Heaven Origin Race is their common enemy. In the short term, there won't be any irreconcilable conflicts between the Barbarian Race and the Human Race.

"Finally, I can focus on my cultivation for a while."

Shen Long muttered to himself as he took out a Golden Gourd containing the Essence Blood of a fifth-tier Sea-Suppressing Ape.

He drank a mouthful of his Essence Blood, and soon he felt a burning heat all over his body, as if he were bathing in a sea of fire.

Shen Long immediately began to cultivate his internal energy, and a yellow glow appeared. A large amount of yellow hair grew on his body, making him look like a yellow ape.

In the Ancestral Hall, more than three hundred disciples of the Spirit Control Sect stood in neat rows, with Xu Yang standing in front of them.

"We've posted a notice announcing that our Spirit Control Sect is opening its gates to recruit disciples."

Xu Yang gave the instructions.

The Barbarian Race tribe migrated to the Heaven Origin Realm, giving all their territory to the Spirit Control Sect. With its current manpower, the Spirit Control Sect simply cannot defend such a large territory, so it must recruit disciples to expand its number.

The territory of the Spirit Control Sect has expanded ten thousand times, but it is severely short-handed.

"Yes, Master Xu."

The disciples agreed.

Soon, disciples of the Spirit Control Sect went to various places to post notices, recruit disciples, and build up their ranks.

I'm preparing to ascend to the Lingxu Realm. My Life-Bound Spirit Bird's advancement will save me over two hundred years of arduous cultivation. Combined with elixirs and Secluded Cultivation, it'll be enough for me to advance to the Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage.
