410: The party ended and we went our separate ways, preparing to go back to seclusion.

The one called Sword Master Qingxiao by the Disciples of Sword Emperor City was emerging from Giant Sword Peak!

Clouds billowed and mist swirled, ethereal as an immortal!

His true appearance was difficult to discern!

Terrifying Sword Intent lingered around him, shining like a brilliant sun in the blue sky.

Making it hard to look directly at him!

The next moment!

Sword Master Qingxiao took a step, transforming into an astonishing rainbow light!

Forcefully tearing through the Void Realm of the firmament!

In the blink of an eye, he vanished!

That one did not utter a single word, but the Qi he exuded!

Caused all living beings in the vicinity to feel a wave of intense suppression.

Like a dormant volcano that had been silent for ten thousand years, capable of erupting at any moment.

Unleashing boundless heatwaves, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and the earth!

Causing—

Heaven and earth to sink, and the world to end!

Not only that!

Located in the central area, atop an even more magnificent ancient main peak.

A grand ancient hall trembled!

Drawing in the three thousand Laws of heaven and earth, manifesting the ancient charm of myriad Sword Dao!

It was like a Sword Tomb of heaven and earth, clanging and humming, all sword weapons trembling in unison!

"It's the Geng Jin Sword Master!"

"He hasn't been out long, yet his soul lamp... has extinguished, and not even his Primordial Spirit—"

"Was left behind!"

"Doesn't that mean Geng Jin has already perished and his Dao vanished?"

"Among all the Sword Masters, Geng Jin's ranking is relatively low!"

"His strength is average, not particularly outstanding!"

"But he is still a Great Power figure, and to be able to kill him—"

"Requires at least the cultivation level of a top-tier Great Power, or even a peak existence!"

"To be able to completely kill him!"

"No matter what!"

"Geng Jin was also a member of my Sword Emperor City; his demise!"

"Is a great loss for my Sword Emperor City, and this matter—"

"Must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Just now, Qingxiao has already left!"

"It is said that his Disciple was with Geng Jin!"

"He's probably going for this very reason!"

—

One hundred thousand mountains, White Tiger Clan territory!

A White Tiger, ten thousand zhang tall, stood atop a majestic divine mountain.

Roaring with its head held high, its ferocity reaching the heavens!

Its roar!

Was like the wrath of heavenly thunder, its sound echoing beyond the Nine Heavens, dispersing the clouds.

One claw struck down!

Dozens of surrounding mountains collapsed, directly obliterated from their original spots!

"Awoo roar!!!"

"Who? Who exactly is it!"

"Dare to kill a direct descendant of my White Tiger Clan, my White Tiger Clan and you—"

"Will never rest until one of us is dead!"

"Roar!!!"

...Nether Star Ancient City, Wangyou Tower!

After the incident with the old woman, the gathering was almost over.

It was considered concluded!

Under heaven, there is no banquet that does not end, and the current so-called farewell—

Compared to the long Lifespan of Cultivators!

Is but brief!

There will always be a day of reunion!

There will be opportunities to gather again in the future, perhaps in a few years, or perhaps a dozen years.

They are all Prodigies of the Eastern Barrens, and their cultivation level progress is far from limited to this!

In the future—

If nothing unexpected happens, they will surely become powerful figures.

They will possess illustrious reputations, resounding throughout the Eastern Barrens and shaking the world!

"Emperor Jiang!"

"I wonder where you plan to go next?"

Niu Dingtian asked, his head held high, looking somewhat simple and honest!

Only his gaze was bright and sharp, faintly revealing a hint of fervent reverence.

He was Jiang Yi's mount, his follower!

Since he had already made up his mind to cling to this golden, thick thigh!

Then—

He would go all the way!

If next!

Emperor Jiang was to continue his campaigns, then Niu Dingtian!

Would certainly not shirk his duty.

Following him to the end!

Even if it meant mountains of daggers and seas of fire, he would brave them.

Jiang Yi did not ponder much; he had already made his decision!

Then he spoke, stating truthfully,

"I plan to go back..."

"And seclude myself for a while longer!"

After continuous battles!

Along the way!

True Venerables of Law, Heaven-Human Realm experts, Great Power strongmen, he had killed countless of them.

He had already plundered over a hundred thousand years of Lifespan!

Now, he!

Could be said to have ample Lifespan, enough for him to once again increase his cultivation level.

Plus his Realm!

It had now reached a Bottleneck, having achieved Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens Perfection.

After he returned this time!

He could begin the Reincarnation of the Heaven-Human Realm, undergoing another transformation.

To achieve a complete metamorphosis!

Striving to reach the peak level of the Great Power Realm after emerging from seclusion.

Yu Miaomiao, standing beside him, blinked her big, innocent eyes, nodded, and said:

"Going back is good!"

"After all, Emperor Jiang, you—in that Ancient Battlefield—"

"Displayed Divine Might and became widely known for your fierce reputation!"

"It's estimated that some people have already started sending out messages; by then!"

"The entire Eastern Barrens will be shaken by you!"

"These are nothing, but I'm afraid there might be some with ulterior motives!"

"Who will target you!"

"You also killed the Prodigies of Sword Emperor City and Azure Emperor Ancient Dynasty!"

"These are major forces with deep foundations, not to be underestimated!"

"Your actions!"

"Will mostly likely displease them!"

"Perhaps openly!"

"They will consider their own status and not make things difficult for you!"

"But it's hard to guarantee they won't act in secret!"

"Who knows if they will disregard martial ethics, become desperate.

Bully the weak, and use their power to oppress the young!

If that were truly the case!

If you remain outside, then it would be dangerous!"

Yue Rouer nodded slightly, also agreeing with her statement—

Her red lips parted gently, her voice gentle!

"Miaomiao is right!"

"Young Master Jiang, you... should still go back; with the protection of Huangtian Ancient Sect!"

"They absolutely wouldn't dare do anything to you!"

"It's not too late to come out after your seclusion..."

Yu Miaomiao seemed to have thought of something else, clapped her small hands!

Smilingly said—

"I almost forgot, now you can already kill a Half-Step Great Power!"

"By then!"

"When you come out of seclusion, perhaps even a Great Power won't be your match!"

"Maybe!"

"Those people will even have to fear you!"

"Thinking about it this way, it seems like a lot of fun, hee hee hee!"

Then!

Yu Miaomiao's two small willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly again!

Twitching her small nose, she continued:

"However, if that's the case, then wouldn't we—"

"Be left even further behind by you?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"This princess also needs to go back and properly seclude herself, striving to Breakthrough to—"

"The Heaven-Human Realm as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, this princess absolutely won't come out!"

Yue Rouer nodded in agreement at the opportune moment,

"You can come with me; that heart-protecting mirror will come in handy!"

"Then I... will go back too!"

Niu Dingtian thought for a moment; he had obtained that profound yellow stone stele!

Going back would be perfect for re-refining it!

Such a large piece!

Could completely be used to forge a set of armor, or even serve as a Natal Dao weapon.

And his cultivation level!

Although decent, it was already good compared to other Prodigies.

But it was still far from enough!

Especially when compared to Emperor Jiang, he was even more inferior!
