Loneliness!

It was past noon when we came out of the Thousand Treasures Hall.

Zhou Hao's face was beaming with smiles in the sunlight.

For ordinary people, having money and indulging in lavish spending is very enjoyable, and cultivators are also human, so they are no exception.

Having spent all 242 top-grade immortal-level magic treasures and 360 high-grade immortal-level Star Mountain Stones, Zhou Hao was naturally overjoyed, as he would gain a comprehensive upgrade in his magic treasures and techniques.

Brush!

Zhou Hao teleported away through the void and reappeared on a flat cliff on a mountain peak.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

The clear spring flowing down the mountain remains as turbulent as ever, and the two characters ' Yueying ' on the jade wall at the summit are as they always have been.

"You're back." Zhou Hao stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the various exotic flowers, rare plants, and mythical beasts growing vigorously on Yueying Peak, and nodded in satisfaction.

Thirteen years have passed since I left Yueying Peak, and everything remains the same as it was back then.

"Senior Brother Zhou Hao." After receiving Zhou Hao's telepathic message, Iron Peak flew out of the cave at the foot of the mountain and quickly arrived at the flat cliff.

"Zhuzi." Zhou Hao glanced at Iron Peak and noticed that he was noticeably more robust and his eyes were more profound than when they had parted. He said with satisfaction, "It's been more than ten years since we last met. You've become more composed. Not bad."

Now, Iron Peak has also entered the Myriad Phenomena Realm and has become an inner disciple with his own cave dwelling.

He opened another cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain simply because he had promised Zhou Hao to take care of Yueying Peak.

"Senior brother, are you planning to stay for a while this time?" Iron Peak was also very excited to see Zhou Hao.

"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded, "We'll have to stay for at least two or three years."

Master needs time to reforge the Weiyang Palace, the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade needs time to transform, and the Second Primordial Spirit needs time to cultivate the Chiming Nine Heavens Map to the seventeenth level of perfection. Zhou Hao, however, plans to cultivate in seclusion on Yueying Peak until the Immortal Fate Assembly is about to begin, and then return to the Xia Clan Great World.

"That's great, I'll go arrange the banquet." Iron Peak left immediately.

Although there are no servants on Yueying Peak, there are quite a few miscellaneous puppets, and there are also special puppets in charge of preparing food.

Call!

With a wave of his hand, he placed the Red Dust Immortal Mansion in the deep pool in front of the abode, and then pulled Yun Yuchan out of the Immortal Mansion.

"We're back at Yueying Peak?" Yun Yuchan's face lit up with joy upon seeing the familiar surroundings.

"Iron Peak has gone to arrange the food, let's go and have some together." Zhou Hao's main body and clone exchanged a glance, then followed his Second Primordial Spirit into the Immortal Mansion.

Upon arriving at the hall where Liu Yu was in seclusion, one could immediately see her sitting cross-legged on a futon, with the ' Snow Soul Pearl ' floating in front of her, already imbued with Liu Yu's divine soul aura.

In recent days, Liu Yu has focused all her attention on the ' Second Primordial Spirit Secret Technique ', and has now successfully split her soul in two.

After the soul was split in two, both souls were only half of their original size and were in a damaged state. Therefore, they are currently working hard to recover.

As for the newly formed Second Primordial Spirit, it cannot transform into a physical body before it has fully refined the essence within the Snow Soul Pearl.

However, once she has fully refined it, her Second Primordial Spirit will enter the primordial spirit level.

After a careful inspection, seeing that Liu Yu's cultivation was normal, Zhou Hao went to the Chaos Star Fragment Stone Platform in the Hongchen Lotus Pond.

"Master." Ou Huang and Ao Xiaobao, who were playing in the lotus pond, jumped and ran over when they saw Zhou Hao, followed by a boy in red.

Brush!

A green gourd appeared out of thin air, containing a large number of rare and precious materials.

The previously nonchalant boy in red suddenly seemed like a cat that had smelled fish, and grabbed the green gourd.

"Haha, that's right, that's right. Zhou Hao, you're really amazing, you've collected them all so quickly." The boy in red was extremely excited, and his gaze towards Zhou Hao held much more approval.

The spirits of magical artifacts rarely have a choice in who they belong to, but what they desire most is to follow a powerful master.

"These are all yours now," Zhou Hao asked with a smile. "How long will it take for you to transform and evolve?"

"It will take at least one or two years, and at most three years," the boy in red said confidently.

Zhou Hao nodded with a smile.

Thinking that he would have his first innate spiritual treasure in three years at most, he was quite looking forward to it.

Senior Brother Zhou Hao Yueying Peak has returned to the sect. In particular, when Zhou Hao and Yun Yuchan were walking side by side on Yueying Peak, they were seen by many disciples, and the news quickly spread throughout the inner Mysterious Heaven Sect.

Although the Profound Heaven Realm and the Xia Clan Great World are different worlds, quite a few inner disciples have ventured into the Xia Clan Great World.

Zhou Hao is known as an immortal in Anchan Prefecture, and now the story of his Second Primordial Spirit clone as Void Return Divine Demon has been circulating among the disciples who have returned to the sect.

"Brother Zhou Hao, an old friend has come to visit. I wonder if I may see him?" A clear voice came from outside Yueying Peak.

Zhou Hao was drinking and talking with Yun Yuchan and Iron Peak in a lakeside pavilion when he heard a sound and turned around. He saw a handsome young man in a black Daoist robe standing in mid-air.

"It's Senior Brother Yu Tiandu," Iron Peak said in a low voice. "Senior Brother Tiandu completed his mission as a true disciple three years ago, has been promoted to a true disciple, and established Tiandu Peak."

Zhou Hao nodded.

The last time I saw him, Yu Tiandu was doing a mission to kill a Nascent Soul Asura in the Northern Xiulu Continent. Now, he has finally achieved his goal.

"Tiandu, I haven't yet congratulated you on achieving the true mastery of the art. I only have a cup of wine to offer you, please don't mind," Zhou Hao said loudly.

"Haha, compared to Brother Zhou Hao's reputation as an Changsheng being, what is my little progress?" Yu Tiandu descended from the clouds and came to the waterside pavilion.

The two had just greeted each other and sat down when another voice came from outside requesting an audience.

"Junior Brother Zhou Hao"

This time, Liang Han and Yan Xun, whom he knew well, came along with more than ten inner disciples who were not so familiar with him, all to pay their respects to Zhou Hao.

The arrival of a group of inner disciples made Yueying Peak, which had been quiet for more than ten years, much more lively.

Inner disciples kept arriving after hearing the news, so Iron Peak eventually went outside to greet them.

Finally, Fairy Nishang and Senior Brother Lin Han arrived together, and the four true disciples of the present generation gathered at Yueying Peak, bringing the lively atmosphere to its peak.

Listening to everyone chatting and laughing, Zhou Hao simply smiled and listened, only occasionally offering a word or two in response.

"Junior Brother Zhou Hao, Junior Sister Yu Chan, I was fortunate to receive your help during our trip to the Northern Xiulu Continent last time, and we parted ways afterward. It's only today that we meet again. I'd like to offer you a toast." Fairy Nishang smiled as she raised her wine cup to Zhou Hao and Yun Yuchan.

"Senior sister, you're too kind." Zhou Hao and his companion both raised their glasses and drank together.

Looking at Zhou Hao, Fairy Nishang was filled with emotion.

She learned of Zhou Hao's return to the sect from Patriarch Liangjin.

When Fairy Nishang learned that her junior brother Zhou Hao, who had already shown unparalleled talent, was now able to fight alongside her ancestor and even snatch a pure Yang magic weapon from a celestial being, she realized that she and her junior brother Zhou Hao were already in two different worlds.

"He must be very lonely," Fairy Nishang thought to herself.

Even though he was in the center of attention, she could still sense Zhou Hao's transcendence and his incongruity with his surroundings, just like Patriarch Liangjin.

Transitional chapter.

The next chapter is about the Immortal Fate Assembly; after that, we'll be moving on to a higher-level map.
