Asura's true spirit has already dissipated, Saha Sacred Tree has naturally become ownerless.

Zhou Hao had just witnessed its power.

Even his own top-grade earth-rank magic treasure, the "Dragon-Suppressing Stake," and his secret technique, the "Extinction Divine Light Needle," were directly destroyed. If he didn't take such a treasure, he would truly be a fool.

Wow~~~

The giant hand of sunlight grasped the Saha Sacred Tree, but the tree was rooted in the void, and Zhou Hao's Dharma form hand could not budge it.

Moreover, although the Saha Sacred Tree had become ownerless, it still possessed some spirituality. Suddenly, it grew to several thousand feet in the air, its branches and leaves growing wildly, trying to break through the restraints of Zhou Hao's Dharma Image Hand.

"You have no say in this!" Zhou Hao's eyes flashed with a blue light, and the remaining Blue Flower power from breaking through the blood mist barrier surged into his dharma form.

Then the giant hand of sunlight suddenly grew dozens of times larger, firmly grasping the frantically struggling Saha Sacred Tree in its palm.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

A series of sounds of roots being snapped rang out, and the void Saha Sacred Tree was rooted shattered like a mirror.

Sizzle, sizzle sizzle sizzle.

The Saha Sacred Tree, which was thousands of feet tall, was finally compressed inch by inch by Zhou Hao's Dharma Image Hand, which had gathered the power of Blue Flower, and finally transformed into a precious tree of twelve feet nine feet six inches, which was then put into the storage magic treasure by the Dharma Image Hand.

At this moment, the blood mist shrouding the Greenwood Flying Boat gradually thinned, revealing the four people inside, including Fairy Nishang.

They seemed to be frozen in place, their expressions and movements unchanged.

Call!

A flash of light emanated from Yun Yuchan, suddenly breaking the time seal.

Of the four, she was the first to recover.

"Huh?" Yun Yuchan looked at the three motionless people beside her and was momentarily unable to react.

Her memory was still stuck at the moment when she was enveloped by the blood mist barrier.

"Time has stopped!" Yun Yuchan's eyes widened in horror.

Freezing and stopping a fleeting moment is one of the most profound mysteries in the Great Path of Time, far surpassing her understanding of time dilation.

It's even much greater than the gap between the true meaning of the Great Dao and the Great Dao Domain.

Yun Yuchan hurriedly turned her head to look at the spot where Asura had been, only to find that the Saha Sacred Tree, the Asura God Fruit, and the giant Asura were all gone, leaving only the ancient, thousand-foot-tall cauldron and Zhou Hao...

"Changsheng Brother Changsheng?" Yun Yuchan asked in surprise, "When did you break free of the restrictions?"

"A little earlier than you," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "Asura's true spirit has already collapsed, and I've also taken the Saha Sacred Tree and the Asura God Fruit."

Even the usually aloof Yun Yuchan couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "What happened?"

"Let's talk about it together after Senior Sister Nishang and the others have recovered," Zhou Hao said, looking at the three people beside Yun Yuchan.

The blood mist was now only a thin layer. As soon as he finished speaking, Senior Brother Lin Han recovered, followed by Senior Sister Nishang and Liu Yu.

"So, all those tens of thousands of years of scheming by that Asura God, including the Saha Sacred Tree and the Asura God Fruit, were ultimately prepared for Changsheng Brother Changsheng?"

After listening to Zhou Hao's story, Liu Yu was first shocked, then excited for him.

The fact that a Void Return Asura God, comparable to a Celestial Immortal, could scheme for so long, even sacrificing a Dry Yang True Thunder, a top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon, and the essence blood of 100,000 Asuras, just thinking about it makes one realize how precious these two treasures are.

Senior Sister Nishang and Senior Brother Lin Han also looked at Zhou Hao with envy, both of them amazed.

Besides the Liang Clan -grade magic treasure ' Nine Thunder Cauldron ', the most precious things in this fragmented small world are the Saha Sacred Tree and the Asura God Fruit. Now Zhou Hao has them all by himself. After Fairy Nishang obtains the Nine Thunder Cauldron, she will also give him a top-grade earth-grade magic treasure or 100,000 catties of Origin Liquid.

Without a doubt, Zhou Hao is the biggest winner of this trip.

The Fairy Nishang and Lin Han exchanged a glance, both having the same thought in their minds.

"Truly worthy of being called a super prodigy, he certainly has great opportunities and great fortune."

After arriving in this small world, both she and her senior brother Lin Han, true disciples, were overshadowed by Zhou Hao. Now, the greatest benefits have also been obtained by Zhou Hao, which he earned through his own strength, so they have no choice but to admit defeat.

Zhou Hao's ability to break free of the time seal and seize the Asura God Fruit before Asura regained his strength rendered Asura's tens of thousands of years of planning futile, can be considered as saving everyone's lives.

Otherwise, even with the Great Teleportation Dao Talisman, Asura might not have a chance to escape once he recovers to his peak condition.

Zhou Hao wasn't surprised that Senior Sister Nishang and Senior Brother Lin Han hadn't spoken for a long time.

After all, although it's agreed that personal gain depends entirely on chance, anyone who can remain unmoved and envious while watching their companions reap enormous benefits is either a saint or a fool.

Fortunately, both Senior Sister Nishang and Senior Brother Lin Han only showed envy in their eyes, without any other unpleasant emotions.

"Senior Sister, this small world is about to collapse. You should put away the Nine Thunder Cauldron first, and then we'll leave this world." Zhou Hao looked at Senior Sister Nishang.

The Saha Sacred Tree was more of a rare treasure than a magical artifact. Although he resisted when he tried to take it, the powerful Dharma image he created with the power of the Blue Flower porcelain suppressed it, and the process went relatively smoothly.

The ' Nine Thunder Cauldron ' is a top-grade immortal magic treasure. It is impossible to refine it without reaching the level of Earth Immortal or Loose Immortal. Furthermore, the spirit of the magic treasure within the cauldron can activate a portion of the Nine Thunder Cauldron's power.

Even a fraction of the power of a Celestial-grade magic weapon is beyond the reach of an ordinary Myriad Phenomena True Person.

Moreover, after the Saha Sacred Tree was removed from this world, the speed at which space collapsed accelerated, making it unable to withstand the continued struggle between the people and the spirit of the Nine Thunder Cauldron.

"Collect." Senior Sister Nishang Chang waved her hand and released a talisman.

Wow~~~~

The talisman turned into a simple "shou" character composed of thunder and lightning in the air, and was printed directly into the thousand-foot-high Nine Thunder Cauldron.

Then the Nine Thunder Cauldron shrank smaller and smaller until it became the size of an ordinary incense burner or bronze cauldron, at which point Fairy Nishang waved her hand and put it away.

"It's done." Fairy Nishang smiled at Zhou Hao and the other three. "Thank you all for your help this time. I promised to send you the magic treasures Origin Liquid after we return to the sect. Now, I will put everyone into the Demon-Repelling Divine Shuttle and then use the Great Teleportation Dao Talisman to leave. Please do not resist."

"Okay." Zhou Hao and the other three nodded.

After several days of continuous fighting, even Zhou Hao, with his powerful spirit, felt somewhat exhausted.

It's finally over.

Spacetime transformation.

When the five emerged from the Demon-Repelling Divine Shuttle, they were already at the foot of the mountain where the sect's teleportation tower array was located, with Fool's Peak not far in front of them.

"Each peak in the sect has a protective array, and the entire inner sect is also a huge array, so I just moved here directly," Fairy Nishang said with a smile to everyone.

Fairy Nishang was clearly in a great mood after successfully retrieving the Nine Thunder Cauldron.

"Let's first pay our respects to the sect leader, and then all of you fellow disciples can return to your caves to rest."

The Greenwood Flying Boat soared into the sky, circled around the side of Fool's Peak, and flew towards the sect.

Five people stood at the bow of the boat, looking ahead.

"Huh? Why is it so lively on Fool's Peak?" Liu Yu suddenly asked.

lively?

There probably aren't many outer disciples left in their generation, so why would it be lively?

Zhou Hao and the others also looked over.

Then they saw an inner disciple in blue robes leading more than twenty young men and women flying out of Fool's Peak from the west courtyard of the bamboo forest where they had previously stayed.

The inner disciple in blue robes was a round-faced man with the Daoist name "Changle." Zhou Hao and Liu Yu had dined together a few days ago when they first entered the inner sect.

"Changle Brother Chang Le," Liu Yu called out from afar.

"So it's Junior Brother Liu Yu." True Person Changle steered the flying boat toward Zhou Hao and the others.

"Senior Sister Nishang, Senior Brother Lin Han," True Person Changle first bowed to the two true disciples, then cupped his hands to Zhou Hao and the other two, "It's been decades since we last met. Junior Brother Zhou Hao, Junior Sister Jade Cicada, did you just return to the sect with your senior brothers and sisters?"

Haven't seen it for decades?

The five people were taken aback.

How could it have been decades since we last met, after only a few days apart?

"Changle Brother Chang Le, what's going on?" Fairy Nishang asked in confusion.

"Senior Sister, ten years ago, Senior Brother Yan Xun gained some enlightenment and left the sect to travel and hone his skills. Now, Junior Brother is leading the newly entered outer sect disciples of the West Courtyard," True Person Changle Le said with a smile. "These junior brothers and sisters have just sworn their blood oath upon entering the sect, and I am about to take them to the Myriad Forms Hall on the main peak."

As he spoke, True Person Changle turned to the twenty-odd young men and women on the flying boat and introduced them, "These are the sect's true disciples, Senior Sister Nishang and Senior Brother Lin Han. These three are also inner disciples. The Junior Brother Zhou Hao, whom I told you about before, who killed a Nascent Soul Yaksha while still in the outer sect, is ' Changsheng Sheng.' Fellow disciples, please greet your senior brothers and sisters."

"Greetings, Senior Sister Nishang, Senior Brother Lin Han, Senior Brother Zhou Hao." More than twenty young men and women bowed in greeting, except for one burly young man who stared blankly at Zhou Hao.

"Junior Brother Iron Peak?" True Person Changle frowned slightly.

He had previously had a rather good impression of this junior brother Iron Peak Jade Dragon Sect, so how could he be so rude?

To everyone's surprise, the burly young man seemed not to hear, staring at Zhou Hao with eyes full of excitement, his face flushed red.

"Zhou Hao, are you Zhou Hao?" the burly young man murmured. "Zhou Hao, I'm Zhuzi."

Zhou Hao?

Everyone looked at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao was also taken aback.

"Zhuzi!? You're saying you're Zhuzi?"

"It's me, Zhou Hao." The burly young man nodded excitedly. "You haven't returned to Xiangcao Valley for seventy years. My aptitude is poor, and it wasn't until a year ago that I was able to advance the <Chiming Nine Heavens Map> to the Purple Mansion Realm. Ancestor Yuanyuan arranged for me to come to the Upper Sect. The Ancestor said that I would be able to see Zhou Hao once I arrived at the Upper Sect, and the Ancestor really didn't lie to me."

Seventy years?

Oh my god!

Zhou Hao and the other four were visibly shocked. Even though Yun Yuchan had a vague sense that the flow of time in the fragmented small world was slower than that in the outside world.

Upon hearing such an exaggerated change in time, all five of them felt a moment of utter bewilderment.

"Zhuzi ..." Zhou Hao looked at the young man who was a head taller than him, a burly and strong man. He looked exactly like Iron Ox, and there was no trace of the cute little boy he used to be.

If you look closely at his facial features, you can vaguely see a resemblance to his aunt, Xiangcao.

Seventy years have passed?

Doesn't that mean the original storyline is about to begin, or has already begun?

We're about to delve into some important plot points from the original work. While it won't follow the main storyline, there will be some overlap, and you'll see many familiar characters.

As for the timing of the original work's intervention, since there wasn't a specific timeline beforehand, I set it myself. Ji Ning had already been born at this point. And...

Guess where we'll meet for the first time?

If you have a good idea, I'll take it in. Hehe.
