Return to the Immortal Mansion!

late at night.

Zhou Hao, still dressed in a green robe, emerged from the cave on Yueying Peak.

In the deep pool, the Lunar Star in the sky is reflected on the water's surface, which is even more fitting for the name Yueying Peak.

It was already the dead of winter, and the immortal sects would naturally not be bothered by the heavy snow blocking the mountains, but the continuous mountain range outside the Mysterious Heaven Sect was already covered in white.

"Sigh~~~"

Zhou Hao took a deep breath and felt a cool sensation throughout his body.

"Senior brother, you've emerged from seclusion."

From the distant stone pavilion, a beautiful figure walked over; it was Lin Xia'er.

"Since the sect's grand ceremony and the reception of guests, Senior Brother has been in seclusion for almost three months." Lin Xia'er's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhou Hao with delight.

"Junior Sister Xia'er hasn't rested yet? Who's over there in the pavilion?" Zhou Hao asked with a smile. "Could it be Junior Brother Liu Yu and Junior Sister Jade Cicada?"

He could already see two more figures in the pavilion over there.

With the additions and embellishments from the peak masters, primordial spirit elders, and inner disciples, Yueying Peak stands out among the peaks of the true disciples.

Moreover, Yueying Peak, which is over three thousand feet high, is more than ten thousand meters high according to the calculation method of Earth in his previous life. It covers a large area, and it would be too lonely for him to live alone.

Liu Yu, who was closest to her, was naturally the first to move in.

Since Yun Yuchan and Liu Yu developed a very good relationship during their last trip to the fragmented small world, Yun Yuchan told Zhou Hao and moved over as well.

As for Lin Xia'er, she had returned home from the Northern Xiulu Continent to report to her father, ' Daoist Baichuan,' and then came with her father to express her gratitude and congratulations, and also presented a generous gift.

Out of gratitude for the gift, Lin Xia'er and Liu Yu, who were about the same age and both practiced sword formations, got along very well, so Lin Xia'er moved in as well, and the group practiced together.

This made Zhou Hao sigh inwardly.

His Yueying Peak was actually because Liu Yu had gained two more inner sect junior sisters.

"It's Liu Yu and Senior Sister Jade Cicada." Lin Xia'er nodded. "The three of us were admiring the moon when we started talking about how, as we approached the end of the year and the twelfth lunar month approached, Liu Yu started missing home."

She entered the Innate Realm at the age of fourteen. Although she looked like a young girl, she had cultivated for more than thirty years. Liu Yu, on the other hand, spent seventy years in the Fragmented Small World and was still only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Both wanted to be senior brothers and sisters, and neither would give way. In the end, they addressed each other by their full names, calling Zhou Hao and Yun Yuchan "senior brothers and sisters".

"Missing home?" Zhou Hao smiled. "Then let's go home!"

"Senior Brother is going back to the Xia Clan Great World?" Lin Xia'er exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! I'll go tell Liu Yu."

She had long wanted to leave the Xuan Tian Realm and go out to see the world. At first, Daoist Baichuan refused, but after meeting Zhou Hao and Liu Yuyun and Yu Chan, he agreed that she could go on an adventure with her senior brothers and sisters.

If the three of them hadn't been waiting for Zhou Hao, they would have left the Profound Heaven Realm long ago.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Lin Xia'er used her escape technique, turning into a streak of light and flying towards the flat stone.

Zhou Hao watched with a smile, and soon Liu Yu's cheers came from the pavilion.

Cultivators possess storage magic treasures and carry all their belongings with them, so Zhou Hao didn't have much to pack.

He had already informed the sect leader Immortal Feng Yu, about his plans to return to the Xia Clan Great World after the sect's grand ceremony.

As for his master, Daoist Kong Fang, he was still in seclusion and was no longer even in the Profound Heaven Realm. Immortal Feng Yu did not know where he was, and Zhou Hao was unable to visit him.

He told Liu Yu and the other two to go pack their things, while Zhou Hao boarded a small boat and left Yueying Peak, flying towards Fool's Peak.

The sky above the bamboo forest in the west courtyard of Fool's Peak.

Zhou Hao's divine sense swept over it.

"Zhuzi!"

Whew~~~

A streak of light shot out from the mansion below.

"Senior Brother Zhou Hao." Iron Peak's escape light landed on the boat.

"It's been a few months, Zhuzi, you've entered the Myriad Phenomena! Not bad!" Zhou Hao patted Iron Peak's shoulder heavily.

Although Iron Peak had a great name, Zhou Hao still preferred to call him by his childhood nickname.

"It's all thanks to the foundation my senior brother laid for me when I was young." Iron Peak smiled sheepishly, his eyes filled with admiration and respect for Zhou Hao.

He is no longer the tribal child he once was. After decades of cultivation in the Jade Dragon Army and Jade Dragon Sect, and having visited the Mysterious Heaven Sect Dao Treasury Hall Xuantian Sect, he understands how important the Visualization Technique and the foundational fist techniques for body tempering and sparring that Zhou Hao taught them were.

It was precisely because of the solid foundation laid back then that he was able to master the most difficult-to-enter-level cultivation technique, the <Chiming Nine Heavens Map>, to the Purple Mansion realm within seventy years, thus coming to the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

It wasn't just him; several of his peers who received guidance from Zhou Hao back then have now mostly entered the Purple Mansion, all thanks to the foundation laid at that time.

Brush!

A simple bronze mirror, about three inches in size, with five-colored shimmering light flowing across its surface, appeared out of thin air in Zhou Hao's hand.

"Here you go, this ' Heavenly Sun Mirror ' will come in handy when you complete the outer sect trial in the Abyss World," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "I'm going back to the Xia Clan Great World to make my mark, so I'll leave Yueying Peak in your care from now on."

Zhou Hao had already given Iron Peak the array tokens for Yueying Peak, and even prepared his cave dwelling after entering the inner sect in advance.

"Alright." Iron Peak took the Heavenly Sun Mirror and nodded emphatically. "Senior Brother, please rest assured."

Just then, a Greenwood Boat flew in from afar, carrying Liu Yu, Yun Yuchan, and Lin Xia'er.

"Go." Zhou Hao patted Iron Peak's arm, and Iron Peak transformed back into a beam of light, flying into the courtyard below.

"Senior Brother Zhou Hao"

Liu Yu called out from afar.

With a slight movement of the boat beneath Zhou Hao's feet, he rejoined Liu Yu and the other two in the distance.

The four of them quickly disappeared into the distant mountain peaks.

The Great Xia World, the waters around Crouching Ox Island.

Ripples spread across the edge of the thick white fog, and a Greenwood Boat appeared in mid-air.

"You're back."

Zhou Hao looked at the white clouds that covered a thousand miles ahead and smiled.

With his current divine sense, the entire sea area Crouching Ox Island is within his range.

Because he already knew the location of the Red Dust Immortal Mansion hidden in the Sea Eye, he could sense a special fluctuation of vital energy under his deliberate investigation.

"Is this the location of the Profound Yin Cold Baleful Intent that Senior Brother mentioned?" Lin Xia'er curiously peered out from the boat.

The dark sea surface was shrouded in white mist, with countless whirlpools churning within; just one glance was enough to send a chill down one's spine.

"This is a Natural White Mist Maze." Ao Xiaobao's eyes gleamed. "Zhou Hao, shall I break this maze first?"

"No need," Zhou Hao shook his head.

With this maze, the garrison in Jade Dragon City has an extra layer of natural protection.

His divine sense had already detected several familiar faces among the Jade Dragon Army stationed on the island.

"Then let's hurry to that Sea Eye you mentioned!" Ao Xiaobao urged excitedly. "I can't wait to collect the seeds!"

"Little Treasure, are you really not going home to visit?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask, seeing Ao Xiaobao's excited expression.

After the group returned to the Quiescence Sea and bid farewell to the Mystic Turtle Immortal, Zhou Hao asked Ao Xiaobao if he wanted to return to the Turtle-Snake Immortal Mansion to see his father and clansmen.

To everyone's surprise, Ao Xiaobao refused, so they teleported directly to this location.

"Why go back? I haven't had enough fun yet!" Ao Xiaobao said nonchalantly.

"Although it feels like we've only been apart for a little over a year, it has been more than seventy years for our families. Aren't you afraid your father will worry?" Liu Yu said speechlessly.

The thought of being gone for over seventy years without a trace, and how worried his sister must be, filled him with an intense longing to return home. Did Ao Xiaobao not miss home at all?

"Seventy years isn't even enough time for my father to take a nap, what's there to worry about?" Ao Xiaobao looked at Liu Yu strangely.

Seventy years is a long time?

If Zhou Hao hadn't said there was a Cold Fiend that could be harvested, he wouldn't have wanted to come out.

How comfortable it must be for the cat to sleep and cultivate on Zhou Hao's body.

"Junior Brother Liu Yu, Little Treasure is Whirling Turtle. Talking to him about the time frame is like casting pearls before swine," Zhou Hao shook his head and laughed. "I know you miss home. After Jade Cicada Sister Yu Chan, Junior Sister Xia'er, and Little Treasure finish collecting the Frost Fiend, we'll go to the Great Wild City."

Great Wild City is the main city of the Great Wild Plains and is equipped with a teleportation tower array.

All four had received the Yinglong Guard tokens from their sects, allowing them to freely use the teleportation tower array to directly teleport to Guangling Prefecture.

Brush!

Zhou Hao led everyone directly to the Mystic Crystal Sea Eye, and then asked Liu Yu Yun Yuchan the others to protect him. His Second Primordial Spirit concealed itself and came to the Red Dust Immortal Mansion.

Red Dust Immortal Mansion, nestled within a vast pond of Red Lotus.

"That divine sense just now was so strong, it must be from an immortal..." The Ou Huang curled up and nestled in front of the statue of the Loose Immortal Hongchen, as if he would feel safer that way.

At this moment, a vast and mighty divine consciousness enveloped the entire immortal Immortal Mansion.

As Immortal Mansion Spirit, the Ou Huang immediately sensed it.

"Oh no, that immortal has discovered the Immortal Mansion!" A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the Ou Huang. "How could he know the location of the Immortal Mansion so accurately?"

The concealment techniques left behind by the Loose Immortal Hongchen are so effective that even Earth Immortal Loose Immortal wandering Immortal Mansion if they did not know its exact location.

This time, however, his divine sense was clearly extremely familiar with the Immortal Mansion.

"Could it be Zhou Hao?"

The Ou Huang shook his head.

How could it be him?

That kid has only been gone for seventy years. It's already remarkable that he's become Primordial Spirit Daoist. How could he possibly have entered the Returning to Void Return?

"Zhou Hao, if you don't come back soon, this Immortal Mansion will be taken over by someone else!" Ou Huang muttered to himself.

Sudden--

"My Ou Huang, I'm back! Release the barrier and let me in!"

A familiar voice rang in the ears of the Ou Huang.

"Zhou Hao?" The Ou Huang suddenly jumped up. "Is it really you?"

Following its will, it opened the restrictions on the Red Dust Immortal Mansion.

Brush!

Zhou Hao, dressed in a black robe, appeared out of thin air in front of the Ou Huang.

"Void teleportation?" The Ou Huang stared in astonishment at the familiar-looking human youth whose strength had undergone a complete transformation. "Are you really Zhou Hao?"

"Who else could it be but me? This is my Second Primordial Spirit, its aura is somewhat different from the original," Zhou Hao laughed. "You should be able to sense my original being outside the Sea Eye, right?"

The entire waters Crouching Ox Island were under the influence of the Red Dust Immortal Mansion's detection, something that the Ou Huang had once boasted about to him.

"Just now, your divine sense covered the entire sea area. I thought an immortal was passing by, so I dared not sense anything outside." The Ou Huang stared at Zhou Hao with his two cat-like eyes.

How long has it been?

That human brat I taught a lesson back then now has Second Primordial Spirit and can even teleport...

"Have you made any more statues over the years? How much Origin Liquid have you accumulated for me?"

Upon hearing Zhou Hao ask this, the Ou Huang's expression immediately changed.

"Well..." the Ou Huang stammered, "I've done a little bit, and accumulated a little bit."

I'm back...
