On the coastal cliff.
Beside the cottage.
Xu Yuan kept bringing Cultivators from the Three Realms to Earth.
At his side, Li Bai wrote furiously:
"For bringing a Cultivator from the lower realm here, one tiny Merit Fruit;"
"For bringing an artifact spirit from the lower realm here, one tiny Merit Fruit;"
"For bringing a strange creature here, one..."
"..."
As before, all these Merit Fruits gathered around Xu Yuan.
But he merely stored them up, paying them no mind and putting none to use.
He did this so the Immortals' descendants and disciples would not grow wary and come looking for trouble.
Beep, beep, beep—
The alarm clock on the table suddenly rang.
Li Bai's pen stopped. "We leave for Biluotian Heaven in fifteen minutes to meet today's clients."
"Got it," Xu Yuan said.
He looked at the familiar faces around him and drew a deep breath.
"Your Majesty, I'll send you back two years, before anything happened to Earth, when everything was still peaceful."
"Hide yourselves first, then build your strength slowly."
"Good! That's a good plan!" Lu Chaowu said.
Xu Yuan nodded slightly. A crown of light appeared above his head.
Void of Authority activated!
In an instant,
everyone he had brought over vanished.
Xu Yuan disappeared too, returning only after a while.
"What took you so long?"
Li Bai looked surprised.
"Earth's Mystic Arts and Barriers held me up. They forbid living beings from traveling through time," Xu Yuan said.
"But you're an Ancient God," Li Bai said.
"They couldn't stop me, but they did cost me a little time." Xu Yuan shrugged.
Pangu was gone.
Through the cold iron of his axe, he had passed down Annihilate Heaven and Earth, giving it to Xu Yuan through Jiang Xueyao.
So the Universe's Barriers could not stop
