"Shameless!"
"I'm a dignified ancient ferocious beast, and you actually branded me with a Slave Seal?!"
An ancient ferocious beast?
Po Jun Ancestor's face was full of disdain. Compared to the primordial ferocious beasts of the Immortal Realm, it did not even come close.
"A mere ancient ferocious beast dares to spout such grand words."
"It will be your honor to become the mount of the Divine Son of Returning Origin Holy Land in the future."
The Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf was instantly left speechless.
Returning Origin Holy Land?
Why did that name sound so familiar?
Returning Origin...
Returning Origin Immortal Sect?!
At that thought, it completely petrified. That was the only force to survive the War of Annihilation!
It was even connected to the immortals of myth...
And it possessed the most terrifying, most mysterious foundation of all.
It was over. It had truly suffered eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck!
There was no helping it now. At this point, all it could do was lie flat and accept its fate!
"Although this Emperor Artifact is badly damaged, it can still be considered a rare treasure."
Po Jun Ancestor waved his hand again, sweeping the Heaven Devouring Moon Swallowing Wolf into a spatial vortex along with it.
"Once several ancestors and I have repaired this Emperor Artifact, we will return it to you."
"Rest assured. This Emperor Artifact is your opportunity; us old fellows have no interest in it."
Su Changge looked utterly unconcerned.
An Emperor Artifact?
Not only did he possess a Half Immortal Artifact, but compared to his Azure Heaven Sword, an Emperor Artifact was merely average.
Rumble—!
Heaven and earth roared as the void trembled, destruction pouring forth.
Having lost the support of the Emperor Artifact, the tomb was slowly collapsing.
"Changge, return to the North Abyss Dao Domain as soon as possible."
"The Returning Ruins Secret Realm is about to open. The opportunities within are not something this little world can compare to."
"There, you will encounter outstanding figures of your generation. It is time for you to stir the winds and clouds of the North Abyss Dao Domain."
The Returning Ruins Secret Realm?
He had heard that it was the Returning Emptiness Land of a supreme expert of the Demon Race.
It even contained the inheritance of a Demon Emperor. It was not something this broken Great Emperor's Tomb could compare to.
The Returning Ruins Secret Realm possessed the complete inheritance of the Demon Race. With enough luck, one could even enter mysterious lands and obtain supreme fortunes.
Although the Returning Ruins Secret Realm belonged to the Demon Race, several top Human Race forces and immortal great sects had reached an agreement and obtained a number of entry slots.
The Returning Ruins Secret Realm only allowed cultivators at the Venerable Realm and below to enter. It was also an excellent trial ground for the younger generation.
"This should count as a grand occasion."
"Stir the winds and clouds? Maybe I can trigger plenty of system options. The system rewards are delicious!"
A sharp gleam flashed through Su Changge's eyes, and a trace of anticipation appeared on his face.
"Yes. Now that matters here are settled, Changge will set off today."
The people outside had no idea what had happened within the Great Emperor's Tomb.
Yet they could feel the Great Emperor's Tomb shaking violently, a terrifying aura spreading out as though it were about to collapse.
"Could something else have happened? Why do I feel like the Great Emperor's Tomb is collapsing?"
"This aura of destruction is far too terrifying! It is like an entire world is being destroyed!"
"That young lord couldn't possibly—"
Listening to their discussion, Gui Ying Sage swept his gaze over them.
An invisible pressure instantly descended, leaving many of them unable to even breathe.
If they dared to discuss it further, this pressure might even mercilessly crush their hearts!
"You had best pray that nothing happens to the Divine Son. Otherwise..."
Gui Ying Sage's icy voice echoed between heaven and earth, making everyone shudder.
The might of a Sage could not be offended!
Just then, a streak of light shot out from within.
"Divine Son!"
Gui Ying Sage and Yun Xinyan were overjoyed. Seeing that Su Changge had returned safely, the burdens hanging in their hearts were finally lifted.
"Divine Son, were you injured? What happened inside?"
Yun Xinyan still had lingering fears.
"It was merely a broken Great Emperor's Tomb. Aside from a damaged Emperor Artifact and a dog, there was nothing there."
"It was terribly boring."
Everyone was rather dumbfounded.
Even a damaged Emperor Artifact was a Supreme Treasure!
Why did this lord speak of it with such disdain?
And what did he mean by a dog?
Would a Great Emperor really choose a dog to be buried with him?
"Let us go. This Great Emperor's Tomb is about to collapse as well, so we should move farther away."
At those words, everyone felt like crying without tears. They had originally planned to scrape together some benefits after Su Changge left.
Now it was all gone!
"The Returning Ruins Secret Realm is about to open."
"Now that matters here are settled, it is time to return to the North Abyss Dao Domain."
"Xinyan, there is no Great Emperor inheritance here. Take these cultivation resources—they will help your cultivation." Su Changge took out three storage rings and handed them to Yun Xinyan.
Yun Xinyan's face was filled with shock. The immense cultivation resources inside were enough to support the Yun Family's cultivation for decades!
Luo Qingyu stared blankly at the scene, a trace of envy flashing through her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, she thought of Luo Yan again.
"How laughable!"
For all these years, she had always been the one giving, while he had never given her anything.
In the end, he had even treated her as a tool.
"What rotten luck in the people I met." At that thought, she let out a long sigh, looking especially forlorn.
"Oh, right, Luo Qingyu."
"Take this Storage Ring as repayment for this time."
Su Changge tossed another Storage Ring to Luo Qingyu. There were not many cultivation resources within, but neither were there few.
Luo Qingyu caught the Storage Ring blankly. For a moment, she could not understand why Su Changge was giving her benefits.
"Th-thank you, Divine Son." Once she came back to her senses, she hurriedly thanked him.
At this moment, she was deeply moved.
In terms of talent, compared to Su Changge, Luo Yan was simply a native compared to an immortal.
In terms of character, the gap between them was even greater by a hundred thousand miles!
At that thought, she secretly made a decision.
"The residual Great Emperor aura within will spill out."
"If you do not wish to die, leave immediately."
With that, Su Changge led the two of them back onto the Flying Ship.
Immediately afterward, formations whirled and airwaves surged. The massive Flying Ship, wrapped in dazzling divine light, tore through the sky.
Only after watching the Flying Ship depart did the stunned crowd react.
"Quick! Bring the disciples and evacuate at once!"
"The destructive aura from the tomb's collapse will raze this entire area to the ground."
Su Changge was not their guardian. The fact that he had kindly warned them already counted as benevolence and righteousness.
On the deck of the Flying Ship.
Su Changge stood with his hands behind his back. It had to be said that although the Heaven River Realm was only a small world, it was still full of surprises.
The Returning Ruins Secret Realm was about to open. He believed even more surprising things awaited him in the North Abyss Dao Domain!
"Divine Son, why did you give Luo Qingyu cultivation resources?"
As though afraid Su Changge might misunderstand, Yun Xinyan hurriedly explained, "I am not questioning you, Divine Son. You must have had a reason for doing so, right?"
A gentle breeze brushed past, slowly lifting his black robes. A faint smile rested on his lips, as though everything had been within his expectations.
"The whip and the sugar must go hand in hand."
"Divine Son, you mean..."
Su Changge smiled. "Someone who had spent several years with her never gave her anything, while I had only known her for one day and already gave her benefits. What do you think will happen?"
"She will surely be moved, and she will sincerely serve the Divine Son in the future!"
Yun Xinyan suddenly understood.
Then worship appeared in her beautiful eyes. "The Divine Son is wise and resourceful. Xinyan admires you beyond measure!"
Su Changge shook his head with a bitter smile. In truth, he had set a trap for her.
First, he had publicly given Yun Xinyan an enormous amount of cultivation resources, drawing Luo Qingyu's attention. She would certainly think of Luo Yan from the past, and envy would arise in her heart.
Then, while the iron was hot, he gave her a little benefit as well.
That would easily establish an initial sense of goodwill.
In the future, he could even develop her into a hidden pawn within the Returning Unity Sect.
For him, it was all benefit and no harm.
