487: Back in the Inner Sea, the Empress has arrived.

Sea of Buried Demons, Holy Heaven City.

Today's Holy Heaven City has already become the Inner Sea's foremost Holy City!

Ever since all the top-tier Sect Masters of the Inner Sea came to pay their respects to Shen Tianxing, the title of 'foremost Holy City' became truly deserved!

However, what truly gave many Cultivators in the Inner Sea a sense of belonging was not just this.

Shen Tianxing's power was fully displayed when he closed the teleportation channels connecting to the Four Domains.

The closing of the channels cut off the path for Cultivators from the Four Domains to the Inner Sea, thus eliminating the possibility of those Immortal Great Sects from the Four Domains sending experts to retaliate after the war in the Dragon Tomb Land.

People can't get in, so how can they cause trouble?

It's impossible!

This saved everyone's lives, so how could they not be grateful to Shen Tianxing?

They didn't even dare to harbor resentment; Shen Tianxing's current strength is undoubtedly the strongest in the Inner Sea. With his Golden Body Realm Perfection cultivation, who could be his opponent?

The Inner Sea, once known as a gathering place for the most vicious and evil, has now completely transformed.

While conflicts still exist, they have become orderly... In Holy Heaven City, inside a restaurant.

Three middle-aged men sat at the same table, exquisite delicacies were laid out, and the fragrance of fine wine filled the air, refreshing the mind.

The identities of these three men were famous in the Inner Sea!

Moreover, they were the three top forces that managed to survive after the war in the Dragon Tomb Land.

The former One Sect, Three Palaces, Six Mansions, Twelve Caves, now only Three Halls remained.

Canxing Hall, Feiyu Hall, and Star Palace. These three middle-aged men sitting together were precisely the only remaining Hall Masters of the Three Halls. Their purpose in coming here was simple: to request an audience with Shen Tianxing!

"I never thought that the Sea of Buried Demons, once infamous, would change so much today."

"The unpredictable nature of life is truly profound."

Shen Chong, the Hall Master of Feiyu Hall, tilted his head back and drank a cup of wine, a hint of bitterness in his words.

He wasn't sure if it was the bitterness of the wine or the more bitter predicament of Feiyu Hall.

After the war in the Dragon Tomb Land ended, the Three Halls did not participate, safely hiding within their Sects. Canxing Hall, on the other hand, encountered Shi Linglong and was able to return safely from the Dragon Tomb Land.

While countless Inner Sea forces rushed towards the One Sect, Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, they remained completely unscathed.

They managed to save the lives of their entire Sects, escaping a disaster.

But they did not immediately come to Holy Heaven City to seek an audience with Shen Tianxing; instead, they came only after everything had settled, feeling somewhat uneasy.

They feared being used as a negative example by Shen Tianxing and being wiped out!

Li Yuanhao smiled slightly and said, "Sect Master Shen, why so much emotion? The Inner Sea's reputation has been tarnished for so many years. Aren't we here for the mystery of the Dragon Tomb?"

"Now that the Dragon Tomb is gone, our mission here is also complete. As for whether our Sects exist or not, it's not important."

This was almost the purpose of all the top forces in the Inner Sea coming here.

Compared to the One Sect, Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, their situation was much better.

"Sect Master Li, of course you're not in a hurry."

"After all, your Dianxing Academy's little princess, Shi Linglong, has a close relationship with Shen Tianxing. He definitely won't target you."

"Sect Master Shen and I are different. We still don't know how Mr. Shen will view us."

Luo Tianchuan's words carried a hint of jealousy.

Canxing Hall had truly stumbled upon good luck, managing to get involved with someone like Shen Tianxing. This would allow them to preserve their Sect.

With Shi Linglong's presence, Canxing Hall would surely be able to continue its Legacy here intact.

Feiyu Hall and Star Palace had no connection with Shen Tianxing, and had even intended to suppress him in the past. If he found out, they would certainly face dire consequences.

Their purpose in coming here today was nothing more than to gauge Shen Tianxing's attitude.

In fact, they had already prepared to withdraw from the Inner Sea.

Although the channel connecting to the Four Domains was closed, there was still a one-way channel to other domains.

As long as Shen Tianxing nodded, they would leave.

Although Li Yuanhao didn't want to admit it, it was the truth, and he could hear the disappointment in the two Hall Masters' hearts.

After all, they had been here for thousands of years, and suddenly facing the possibility of being driven out of the Inner Sea, that sense of loss was unavoidable.

One must know how difficult it is to establish a force!

This was the Inner Sea, a place filled with constant conflict, where killing was the main theme!

And to establish a top-tier force, it required countless efforts to achieve!

No one wanted to leave in such a dejected manner.

"We've been here for almost a month, and each time we called, we were told that Mr. Shen wasn't around. How long do we have to wait?"

"I'm wondering if Shen Tianxing simply doesn't want to see us and is deliberately making excuses?"

Shen Chong was somewhat frustrated.

It was almost impossible for a Golden Body Realm Cultivator like him to be frustrated.

But after being turned away by Shen Tianxing several times, he truly felt a sense of collapse.

He wasn't afraid of death; if it came to a direct confrontation, he would gladly fight a fierce battle and die content.

He was just afraid of this ambiguous situation from Shen Tianxing, which left him unable to make a choice.

Even if he didn't consider himself, he had to consider his Sect's Disciples.

It was impossible to stubbornly decide to resist head-on.

"Sect Master Li, haven't you tried to find your niece? She's always by Mr. Shen's side; she couldn't possibly not know his whereabouts, could she?"

Luo Tianchuan looked at Li Yuanhao, seeking an answer from him.

With Shi Linglong present, there was no reason for Li Yuanhao to also be turned away with them!

Li Yuanhao shook his head helplessly upon hearing this and said, "I already went to see Sixth Master Shen, and he told me that Linglong has gone into seclusion."

"Mr. Shen did leave the Trading Firm, but Sixth Master Shen didn't reveal where he went."

"He just told me to wait patiently."

Li Yuanhao was truly not lying, because there was no reason to!

"Forget it, since even you can't see him, then let's continue to wait."

"Come, it's rare for us old fellows to gather. I wonder if there will be another chance to meet again."

"Let's just drink a few cups here!"

Luo Tianchuan decided to give up; there was no use in being anxious anyway.

"Good! Drink!"

"Drink!"

The three Golden Body Realm Hall Masters drowned their sorrows there, drinking back and forth... At the same time.

Sacred Heaven Sea Region, a flying boat was rapidly traversing the Sacred Heaven Sea Region, heading towards Holy Heaven City.

If any Inner Sea Cultivator saw this flying boat, they would immediately recognize it; it was Shen Tianxing's flying boat!

No one in the Inner Sea didn't recognize it!

At this moment, on the flying boat, Shen Tianxing and Empress Yan Yuzhu stood side by side on the deck, looking at the scenery of the sea region.

Yan Yuzhu was no longer the Empress; after she entered the Sea of Buried Demons, she completely parted ways with her past.

Now, she was merely one of countless Cultivators.

With her unparalleled talent, she finally stepped into the world of Cultivators.
