New Crisis

"Young friend Xiao Han, we meet again!"

Old Man Tian Mu greeted Xiao Han with a smile, while secretly feeling alarmed.

Upon entering Langya City, he keenly sensed a scrutinizing force projected towards him, which he easily neutralized. Then, looking up, he saw two great suns hanging high above Langya City.

Anyone could see at a glance that there was something fishy about the Blazing Sun. Old Man Tian Mu further sensed the powerful force hidden within that great sun, which was definitely no less than Immortal Grade Spirit Array.

There has been no news of the Langya Heavenly Palace inviting outside Immortal Array Master during this period, so it is obvious who created the Spirit Array.

Old Man Tian Mu was not surprised. Xiao Han's Spirit Array Cultivation was already at the peak of the Spirit Grade, only one step away from the Immortal Grade. He had also had close contact with and controlled the Saint Grade Great Array. Coupled with the life-and-death crisis, his breakthrough was a matter of course.

That was bad enough, but when Xiao Han reappeared before him, the long-unperturbed heart of the Old Man Tian Mu was thrown into turmoil.

The Heavenly Supreme?!

Subconsciously, Old Man Tian Mu glanced at Xiao Han's cultivation level a few more times, and the result remained unchanged: Early Spirit Grade Heavenly Supreme.

In that instant, Old Man Tian Mu admitted that he was jealous.

What's going on here?

Advancing side by side?

Old Man Tian Mu acknowledged Xiao Han's talent, noting that Xiao Han had temporarily encountered bottlenecks in both Spirit Array and Spiritual Power, and he had no doubt that Xiao Han could break through them.

Only...

It hasn't even been two years, right?

Old Man Tian Mu was certain that he had not gone into seclusion; although he was old, his mind was still quite clear.

So...

Has Xiao Han accomplished in two years what others take hundreds of years to achieve?

"Senior Amaki?"

Xiao Han's questioning voice brought Old Man Tian Mu's thoughts back on track.

"Oh, I was daydreaming."

Old Man Tian Mu readily admitted to his momentary lapse in concentration, and Xiao Han didn't press the matter. He was well aware of the few glances the other man had given him, after all, his achievements were indeed extraordinary.

"Senior, you must be tired from your journey. Would you like to take a rest? And perhaps get to know some of the Elder of my Langya Heavenly Palace?"

"I recently managed to acquire some Immortal Spirit Mist Tea, would you like to try some, senior?"

"Oh? Immortal Spirit Mist Tea?"

Old Man Tian Mu became interested. Immortal Spirit Mist Tea was recognized as a top-grade tea in the Great Thousand World. Its aroma filled the air, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland. It was refreshing and invigorating. The first taste was bitter, but the second sip revealed a sweet aftertaste. After the sweet aftertaste, there was a refreshing coolness like that of a mountain spring. It was extremely attractive to a tea lover like him.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Old Man Tian Mu chuckled and went to drink tea with Xiao Han, while on the other side, he was so excited by the Ice Emperor's announcement that he was about to meet the legendary Heavenly Supreme's Four Great Elders that he was trembling with excitement.

"Your Grand Supreme, is this true?"

The group asked the question again and again.

Ice Emperor waved their hands in exasperation:

"I have no time to fool you. You've already lost your composure before even meeting the Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme."

"Really..."

No one paid attention to Ice Emperor's words of disappointment and frustration; they remained immersed in their excitement.

Although they were quite knowledgeable, the strongest they had ever seen was only Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme. Even though they were tired of seeing such people every day now (Xiao Han: Do you want to hear what you're talking about?), a Saint Grade- level expert who rarely left his home was someone they would hardly ever see in eight lifetimes!

As for the little fanboy's embarrassing behavior when he met Old Man Tian Mu...

Anyway, for three consecutive days after that day, the people of the Langya Heavenly Palace saw Xiao Han's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

However, the value of the Saint Grade Heavenly Supreme is undeniable. After Old Man Tian Mu took action, the Demonic Qi that had been clinging to the land of the Huan Continent like taffy was swept away in just ten days.

Looking from the sky, the black spots on the Huan Continent quickly disappeared, replaced by lush greenery. Old Man Tian Mu had exceeded his mission, not only dispelling the Demonic Qi but also adding some greenery to the Huan Continent.

······

"Young friend Xiao Han, there's no need to see me off any further. I know this way well."

After resolving the Demonic Qi problem in the Huan Continent, Old Man Tian Mu did not linger and quickly prepared to leave. Xiao Han then escorted him directly outside the Huan Continent.

"Welcome, Senior Tianmu, to my Langya Heavenly Palace."

"Of course, I will definitely come again to try your Immortal Spirit Mist Tea when I have the chance in the future."

Old Man Tian Mu left the Huan Continent with the Immortal Spirit Mist Tea given to him by Xiao Han, saying that they would meet again if they had the chance. In reality, both of them knew that the chances of meeting again were slim. The Extraterrestrial Evil race would not allow the strong in the Great Thousand World to have it too easy. Old Man Tian Mu, a strong person, had to be wary of the other party's peak Heavenly Demon Emperor. The fact that he came this time was already a great honor for Xiao Han.

With the help of Old Man Tian Mu, the transformation of the Huan Continent was completed, and then it entered a period of vigorous construction.

······

"Are you going to search for that Lower Plane?"

Half a month later, Ice Emperor stared in surprise at Xiao Han drinking tea in front of him, then smiled knowingly.

"Indeed, your current strength is more than enough to deal with a group of small fry who haven't even reached the Demon Emperor realm."

"Go and return quickly; things won't go wrong at the Langya Heavenly Palace anytime soon."

Although the Great War came on strong, it did not last long, less than two years.

Based on past patterns, within fifty years after the Great War, the Extraterrestrial Evil race never launched a large-scale invasion. As for the occasional small-scale disturbances, with the Ice Emperor in charge, they could not pose a threat to the Langya Heavenly Palace.

Moreover, not only Xiao Han, but the Ice Emperor also coveted this Lower Plane, as it was a gathering place for soldiers.

Unlike the continents of the Great Thousand World, where the flow of people is quite frequent, in the Lower Plane, apart from a few top experts who can break through the dimensional barrier and ascend, everyone else can only spend their lives in the Lower Plane.

If given the opportunity to see a wider world, few would refuse, especially if that person was someone who had saved this Lower Plane.

Even if not everyone is willing to join Langya Heavenly Palace, those who enter the Great Thousand World through the Langya Heavenly Palace and make a name for themselves here will eventually remember this friendship.

······

Extraterrestrial Evil race, the Blade Demon Race.

Inside the dimly lit hall, two rows of imposing Demon Shadow stood facing each other, their eyes occasionally glancing cautiously upwards, barely daring to breathe.

A tall, imposing figure, shrouded in Demonic Qi Demon Shadow, sat high on a throne in the main hall. This was none other than the patriarch of the Blade Demon Race Clan, the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor!

The Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor closed his eyes slightly, not looking at the trembling figures kneeling below, and slowly spoke, his voice calm and still.

"You mean... the Huan Continent was taken away by people from the Great Thousand World, and not only that, Duan Ren and Ji You were also killed?"

Yes, yes.

The man answered cautiously.

"Who killed him?"

"No... I don't know. I don't know either of them. I only know that two White-robed Youth killed... killed the two of you."

At this moment, the Extraterrestrial Evil race was filled with fear. He had barely escaped from the hellish continent of the Huan Continent and returned to his clan, intending to report the news, but he never expected to be directly interrogated by the Three Judicial Offices.

"Oh." The Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor simply, then lowered his head to ponder. His voice wasn't loud, but it was just loud enough for the powerful Evil Clan in the hall to hear.

"To be able to kill Duan Ren and Ji You, their strength is not bad."

"But..."

"Taking advantage of our clan's predicament and invading while they are distracted?"

The killing intent in the voice of the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor grew increasingly intense.

"Although the Blade Demon City is a useless asset, only if our race discards it can the Great Thousand World retrieve it!"

"Ji Ying, Ye Sha!"

"Clan leader!" As soon as the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor speaking, two powerful figures stepped out from among the demons and knelt on one knee.

"Go and teach that force a lesson, otherwise they'll think our clan is afraid of them."

As for the result...

The Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor stroked his chin.

"Just hang the heads of those who killed Duan Ren and Ji You Nether on the Blade Demon City. As for the Blade Demon City..."

"Just throw it into the Great Thousand World."

"Yes." Upon receiving the order, Ji Ying Ye Sha walked outside without hesitation.

"And you..."

The Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor turned his gaze to the trembling figure, whose kneeling posture was even lower.

"Go and keep Duan Ren and Ji You company."

"Cowards don't deserve to live."

He then waved his hand, and the Evil Clan turned into nothingness before he could react.
