The journey back to the North Abyss Dao Domain went smoothly, without any further mishaps.
Before long, the Flying Ship landed on the Returning Origin Holy Land's White Jade Plaza.
"Lord Divine Son has returned!"
"Without Lord Divine Son, this servant truly cannot sleep at night."
Countless female disciples rushed over at the news, crowding the vast White Jade Plaza until not even water could trickle through.
Every one of them wore an infatuated look, as if they wanted to devour Su Changge alive!
Suddenly.
A smiling voice drifted over from the horizon.
"Changge has traveled far and is weary. Do not disturb him any further."
"I have only just returned and had intended to pay my respects to Ancestor shortly. Please forgive me."
"No matter. Do you really need to stand on ceremony with this Ancestor over such a trivial matter?"
"That Emperor Weapon has already been restored."
With a sweep of his hand, Po Jun Ancestor sent a chain radiating vast Emperor's Might into Su Changge's hand.
Turning decay into magic, brilliant golden runes flashed across it as a terrifying Great Emperor's aura spread from within.
Emperor Weapons possessed spirits. What surprised Su Changge was that its intelligence did not resist him at all. Po Jun Ancestor must have employed some means while restoring it.
"An Emperor Weapon! The Divine Son went to the lower realm once and came back with an Emperor Weapon?"
"The Divine Son truly is a man of immense fortune!"
"Absorb some European luck! Hurry, absorb some European luck!"
"..."
Listening to the crowd's chatter, Su Changge did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This did not really count as his own fortuitous opportunity. He had merely snatched it from that leek.
Though it was an Emperor Weapon he had dreamed of obtaining, it truly did not suit his hand. Besides, was the Azure Heaven Sword not far better?
"This Emperor Weapon is also remarkably profound. It contains countless sealing formations, and those golden runes are suppressive runes."
Po Jun Ancestor explained, "Its function is to bind and suppress others. With your current strength, if you activate it with all your might, you can bind and suppress Great Power Realm experts."
"Changge thanks all the Ancestors."
Although he had only met Po Jun Ancestor thus far, the signs made it clear that many Ancestors were surely watching over him.
Po Jun Ancestor nodded with a smile. "The Returning Ruins Secret Realm will open tomorrow."
"Time is short, so let me first tell you about the arrangements for this journey."
"In previous years, the trial team was led by either First Saint Son Ye Lintian or Second Holy Son Bai Shanghuai. But those two fellows have gone together to train in a distant star field."
"They cannot return in time, so you will lead this expedition to the Returning Ruins Secret Realm."
"All the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters will follow your lead. As the Divine Son, you must also ensure their safety."
"The Returning Ruins Secret Realm is located in the Demon Ruins Dao Domain. The detailed information is contained in this jade slip."
Po Jun Ancestor left behind a jade slip, gave a few more instructions, then turned and departed.
The Demon Ruins Dao Domain was one of the foremost among the Three Thousand Dao Domains, its size far beyond anything the Heaven River Realm could compare to.
Still, Su Changge was quite pleased.
Staying in the Holy Land all the time to cultivate was far too dull. Exploring such a vast world bit by bit was much more interesting.
The next morning.
Above the Returning Origin Holy Land, exotic beasts crossed the skies, their terrifying Qi and Blood pressing down across the heavens.
Divine birds soared through the air, their wings majestic and extraordinary. Strange runes flickered across them, as though they could effortlessly rend the void apart.
There were also magnificent carriages suspended in the void, ancient and mysterious. The dragons and phoenixes carved upon them seemed lifelike, while rising runes further displayed their extraordinary nature.
Within the lavish carriages sat one youthful figure after another.
Some were handsome and exceptional, some possessed immortal flesh and jade bones, transcendent beyond compare.
Though these figures were young, the vast auras permeating their surroundings were enough to prove that they were the foremost prodigies of the younger generation.
Above the void stood another figure.
An elderly man in Daoist robes hovered beneath the heavens, his face aged and his gaze deep with the vicissitudes of time.
An unfathomable aura radiated from his entire body.
He was a Supreme Elder of the Returning Origin Holy Land, the escort for Su Changge and the others on this journey into the secret realm.
Such formidable cultivation, yet he was merely an escort. This display alone revealed the profound foundation of the Returning Origin Holy Land.
Rumble!
At that moment, a tremendous tremor echoed through the void.
From the depths of the Returning Origin Holy Land, a White Jade Carriage blazing with golden light swept through the sky.
The White Jade Carriage was like a dazzling blazing sun, drawing everyone's gaze.
"We pay our respects to Lord Divine Son!"
All the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters rose and bowed respectfully.
Su Changge's strength was plain for all to see, and such formidable power was worthy of their respect.
"The Divine Son's carriage is entirely forged from Soul Nourishing Immortal Jade!"
"I must say, this carriage truly suits Lord Divine Son's temperament."
Envy could not help but rise in the hearts of the many disciples. Soul Nourishing Immortal Jade could nourish one's cultivation and vital energy—and this was such an enormous piece of it!
"Since Lord Divine Son has arrived, shall we set off now?" the Supreme Elder asked with a genial smile, appearing exceedingly cordial.
This scene left many disciples somewhat speechless.
When the other Saint Sons and Saint Daughters arrived, this Supreme Elder had merely given a slight nod. Yet when Su Changge arrived, the Supreme Elder was so cordial!
But upon further thought, it made sense. The gap was simply too great; there was no use envying it!
"Then let us depart," Su Changge said indifferently.
This journey to the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was under his command, while the Supreme Elder was merely an escort. His orders naturally took precedence without question.
The Supreme Elder nodded. Light flickered in his palm, and an ancient, mysterious token appeared.

Buzz!
The token suddenly shone with dazzling light. The void quivered, and ripples like water slowly emerged.
Then it twisted violently!
Spatial passages resembling galaxies appeared one after another.
They did not travel by Flying Ship because the Demon Ruins Secret Realm was too far away. Carriages were more convenient and faster.
Exotic beasts roared, divine wings beat, and carriage after carriage tore through the air. Like a tide blotting out the sky, they surged into the spatial passages.
"Hm?"
Just as Su Changge's White Jade Carriage entered, a figure quietly slipped in after it.
Like a faint, indistinct shadow, it vanished in a flash. Yet that icy killing intent was unmistakably directed at him.
"Lord Divine Son, what happened?"
Yun Xinyan was massaging Su Changge's shoulders, her face filled with confusion.
"Nothing. Just a small fry."
Su Changge appeared unconcerned. He had also sensed a familiar aura, so he could simply leave it to that person.
Within the spatial passage, Sage Gui Ying gripped the black-robed man by the neck with one hand.
"Y-you are..."
The black-robed man struggled painfully, yet he was like a chick in the other's grasp, helplessly at his mercy!
A vast wave of divine sense surged from Sage Gui Ying's deep eyes, continuously rifling through the black-robed man's memories.
"The Great Qin Ancient Dynasty?"
"Hmph! They even placed a restriction within his divine sense. A clown leaping on a beam."
Crack!
Sage Gui Ying erupted with terrifying pressure, and a raging spatial storm instantly tore the black-robed man apart and annihilated him.
"The Great Qin Ancient Dynasty actually dares to harbor designs on the Sacred Ground Divine Son."
"They are truly seeking their own destruction."
"Unfortunately, the Ancestors have ordered that this matter be treated as training for the Divine Son."
"Otherwise, a mere Great Qin Ancient Dynasty..."
