Wu Wang was slightly disappointed when he arrived at the destroyed sect's mountain gate. He thought there would be two rows of people holding banners to welcome the sect master back to the mountain. At the very least, the elders should have come out to meet him, or they could have closed the mountain protection formation in advance.

At this moment...

The sect's mountain protection formation was quiet, even more so than usual. It seemed to have added two layers of formations, and the blood light was murky.

The cliffs on both sides were dyed with the afterglow of rain, and the land for dozens of miles around the rift valley was still desolate, with swarms of poisonous insects and dense poisonous weeds.

Didn't Zhang Mushi and Yang Wudi come back early?

After breaking the fourth main hall, Yang Wudi's sub-hall, where he was under house arrest, was also wiped out by the Renhuang Pavilion army. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Wang and Yang Wudi discussed and let Yang Wudi escape secretly.

Wu Wang secretly removed the wanted order for Yang Wudi from the Punishment Hall, but did not publicize Yang Wudi's heroic deeds.

After all, there was still the first main hall of the Ten Calamities Palace in the Human Realm, and Yang Wudi himself did not reject being an internal spy.

Yang Wudi hinted to Wu Wang many times that being an internal spy in the Ten Calamities Palace was the happiest time of his life.

Speaking seriously, as the former main hall master of the Renhuang Pavilion's Punishment Hall and the current sect master of such a large demonic sect, shouldn't there be someone to welcome him back?

Doesn't the Great Elder behind him care about his face?

Wu Wang frowned slightly, flew out of the silver shuttle with his hands behind his back, followed by Ji Mo and Lin Qi. The Great Elder casually retracted the shuttle.

"Ahem!"

Wu Wang cleared his throat and saw that there was no movement below, so he had to turn around and greet Le Yao.

After all, he had to be a good host.

"Please, our destroyed sect is not as grand as your Breaking Sun Sect."

Le Yao smiled and shook her head, saying, "Please, with you as the sect master, the destroyed sect will set sail and break through the nine heavens tomorrow."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Ji Xiong, you see, my sister is much better at speaking than you."

Ji Mo shook his folding fan and smiled without saying a word, secretly muttering in his heart:

'This Wu Wang, doesn't he see what he has done? He fought against Poverty-stricken and removed the Ten Calamities Palace. Even if Le Yao has a high spirit, how dare she look down on the main hall master of the Renhuang Pavilion's Punishment Hall?'

"Please."

Wu Wang made a gesture, and everyone descended on their respective white clouds.

In fact, the white clouds were only used to cover the robes and long skirts, and they didn't have any other purpose.

When they reached above the mountain protection formation, the Great Elder took the initiative to step forward, and the blood light of the formation surged, opening a gap.

At that moment, the Great Elder suddenly retreated, and a deafening drum sound came from below, causing Wu Wang and the others to feel pain in their ears!

A large number of figures flew out, and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air. The valley was filled with evil spirits, and the demonic flames burned the sky. The bloodthirsty men were unruly.

Hundreds of male demonic cultivators rushed towards them. Wu Wang almost summoned the Golden Armor Star Sword.

Their enthusiastic smiling faces were full of admiration, making Wu Wang feel a little embarrassed.

Yang Wudi, who had a huge bronze gong hanging on his back, shouted, "Welcome the sect master back to the mountain!"

Hundreds of demonic cultivators shouted in unison, "Welcome the sect master back to the mountain!"

Wu Wang was surrounded by everyone and landed. Ji Mo, Lin Qi, and the others watched this scene from the crowd, and their mouths kept curving upwards.

The scene in the valley was even more grand.

The Guantao Tower closed for a day, and dozens of musicians were called here to play music.

The five members of the destroyed sect's mature and charming song and dance troupe swayed their bodies, and dozens of young female disciples of the Black Desire Sect in high-slit long skirts danced gracefully.

Ji Mo quickly used his folding fan to cover his eyes, indicating that he couldn't bear to look at such a beautiful scene.

-Then he secretly observed everything with his spiritual sense.

Dozens of elders and disciples came forward, bowing and saluting.

Wu Wang raised his hands to support them, but before he could say a few words, the music suddenly became soft and low. A beam of light shone on the roof of a stone house, and thousands of eyes gathered there.

A graceful elder in red clothes lightly stepped forward, accompanied by a faint pink mist. Her eyes seemed to be able to capture people's souls. After a few steps, she stood in front of Wu Wang, and her soft white hand rested on Wu Wang's shoulder.

Wu Wang:...

Although the atmosphere was a bit inappropriate, he still offended her.

"Elder, please be more respectful."

He retreated, displaying an exquisite body technique, and escaped from the elder's fingertips. He appeared behind several elderly elders.

Miao Cui's forehead couldn't help but have a few black lines. Several demonic cultivators around couldn't help but laugh, and laughter filled the air.

Since Wu Wang became the sect master, Miao Cui's deterrent power had plummeted.

At this moment, Miao Cui still showed a bit of a spoiled daughter's temper, her face blushing, biting her red lips lightly, and her figure disappeared into the pink mist.

Immediately, a large number of elders and disciples surrounded them, their old faces filled with smiles of "youth has passed."

"Sect Master! I heard that you drove away Poverty-stricken?"

"Sect Master, why didn't Ling Xianzi come back with you?"

"Sect Master, aren't you going to become the main hall master?"

"Hahaha!"

Wu Wang waved his hand and laughed, "Let's not mention it, let's not mention it. Is the banquet ready?"

"Sect Master! The best wine from the Guantao Tower, three hundred barrels!"

"Get drunk today, let's see who can stand till the end!"

The demonic cultivators responded with a loud roar.On that day, Wu Wang popularized a bit of drinking culture within the annihilated sect, and for a while, the clamor of "Do you raise fish?" and "Drinking this cup of wine, we are all good friends" filled the air.

As the young master of the North Wilderness, Wu Wang defended the heroic spirit of the men of the North Wilderness with his drinking capacity, and he drank all the Heavenly Immortal elders present, finally carrying Lin Qi away from the transmission hall.

By the way, Lin Qi did not drink today.

The main hall, which had been under construction for some time, was finally officially put into use.

The original location of Wu Wang's small building was excavated into a lotus pond, with three stone arch bridges placed on it.

At the other end of the arch bridge, two fierce beast statues stood on either side of the gate. The beast on the left was howling towards the sky, while the one on the right lowered its head and looked straight ahead with a fierce gaze.

Wu Wang looked at Lin Qi while carrying him and wondered, "Why are there two huskies in front of the gate?"

"Master, what is a husky?"

"This thing."

"These are sky dogs, Master. They are Great Wasteland fierce beasts and can ward off evil."

Wu Wang carefully looked at them and muttered, "I feel a bit uneasy with these two. Change them for me... put a sparrow on the left and a swan on the right."

"Ah, how can sparrows know the ambition of a swan!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up at the words, struggling to take out a jade token for recording and wrote down the teacher's words.

After the stone carvings, the golden gate surged with abundant spiritual energy. These two gates, several zhang high, were also part of the formation of the main hall.

If a cultivator were to attack the annihilated sect, the normal approach would be to break through the gate.

For the safety of the sect master, the gate of the annihilated sect was built particularly sturdy, even stronger than the defense of the mountains on both sides, several times over!

Lin Suqing pushed the gate forward. With her peak Spiritual Tranquility and half-step Elemental Infant cultivation, she couldn't even push the gate half an inch. It was only with the help of Senior Mu that she was able to enter the hall.

Stepping into the main hall, one would feel a sense of clarity.

In front was a shallow pool with rippling water, and pearls scattered throughout the pool emitted a soft light. Behind the curtains on both sides were murals of flying immortals.

In the center of the pool, there were low tables and cushions, which were meant for welcoming guests. There were screens on all three sides.

Behind the screen in front was a spacious area with furniture such as a couch and a desk, obviously meant for Wu Wang's personal use, all chosen and arranged according to his preferences.

On both sides, there were several entrances leading to quiet rooms, kitchens, study rooms, and bedrooms.

One hidden chamber contained a hot spring jade pool, another was decorated with an illusionary starry sky, and yet another contained miscellaneous books and rare paintings purchased with a large amount of spirit stones by the annihilated sect.

They had considered everything for the sect master.

Wu Wang entered the hidden chamber, placed Lin Qi on the cushion in the center of the pool, and patted his shoulder.

"Not bad, hmm, not bad."

Lin Qi dared not move at all and could only let his teacher pat him.

Then, Wu Wang swayed three steps and leaped over the screen, finding his place on the couch. He didn't make any noise or cause any commotion. He took off his robe, let his hair loose, put on the special pants sewn by Lin Suqing, took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks like a goldfish, and plunged onto the couch. He clasped his hands above his head, swaying his sturdy body from side to side, and started singing a nursery rhyme from his previous life.

"I need you, I am a fish, the air in the water..."

Lin Suqing slapped her forehead and hurriedly served him, and Senior Mu also set up a barrier to take care of the drunken Wu Wang.

Lin Qi sat upright in the center of the pool and suddenly chuckled.

"Is Brother Wu asleep?"

Ji Mo floated over from behind with his hands behind his back, also with a hint of alcohol, and sighed, "He can really drink. The Great Elder almost had to step in personally."

"I'm actually quite happy."

Lin Qi glanced at Ji Mo and said softly, "Teacher went to the Renhuang Pavilion and became much more cheerful after coming back. He can let go more now."

Ji Mo wondered, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Maybe I felt wrong before, but I always felt that Teacher didn't completely trust the annihilated sect. But today, he got drunk without any guard against the sect."

Ji Mo floated to the opposite side of Lin Qi and sat across the low table, smiling, "That's understandable. After all, Brother Wu came here leaving his hometown, so it's normal for him to be cautious. By the way, Brother Lin, you haven't been to the North Wilderness and don't know the customs there. It's much simpler than our Human Realm."

Lin Qi gritted his teeth, "Can you not mention this? When Teacher goes back to visit his hometown, I will definitely go!"

Ji Mo smiled and didn't say anything. A female disciple from the Black Desire Sect brought tea and snacks, and the two of them chatted and laughed, talking about various topics.

As for Le Yao...

At this moment, she was rolling up her sleeves and standing on a chair, practicing punches in the elegant loft of Miao Cuijiao.

Back in the annihilated sect, this young lady from the Breaking Sun Sect quickly adapted to the atmosphere here and even overshadowed Ji Mo.

Temporarily leaving the Renhuang Pavilion, the demons were all happy.

Wu Wang cultivated leisurely, and everything should not be noisy.

...

In the vast and boundless Central Mountain of the Great Wasteland.

In various eras of the Great Wasteland, the Primordial Gods always divided the Great Wasteland into two parts - the Central Mountain and the area outside the Central Mountain.

The Central Mountain was the capital of the hundred races and thousands of nations, a magnificent city that stretched for thousands of miles.The continuous mountains served as towering city walls, and several large rivers nourished countless creatures in this place. They lived near the statues of gods, with one essential daily task - prayer.

As long as they prayed, they would have endless food. As long as they prayed, they would receive the protection of the gods.

And they became the creatures closest to the gods among the hundreds of tribes in the Great Wasteland.

Above this magnificent city, mountains floated above the sea of clouds. The majestic Heavenly Palace stood in the clouds, allowing all beings to only see a corner of it.

The sun, moon, and stars revolved around this place, and two Milky Ways also intersected here. Groups of rare and exotic beasts driven by Heavenly Immortals could often be seen coming and going. Occasionally, a few gods who looked like the statues below could be seen strolling in the clouds.

In a remote corner of the Heavenly Palace, a grand hall quietly floated on a strange stone that reached into the sea of clouds.

At the four corners of the hall, beautiful creatures knelt, all of them resembling the bodies of the hundred tribes. Their wrists and ankles were adorned with golden rings, and their appearances were frozen at their most beautiful age, their eyes clear and bright.

So bright that they were all the same, devoid of emotional fluctuations.

On one side of the hall, two figures knelt at a long table carved from jade.

The figure on the left was wrapped in a light cloud, revealing a graceful figure. She was a goddess of unparalleled beauty.

She bore a resemblance to the white tribal girl who disappeared in front of Wu Wang and Shen Nong, but she was more beautiful and more indifferent.

Her fair skin was flawless, and her facial features seemed to be carved, yet they carried a natural beauty.

The way she picked up the teacup in front of her was so simple, yet it seemed to interpret some kind of truth.

There was no goddess like her, no beauty like her.

Heavenly Palace·Junior Deity of Lifespan.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her... let's skip that.

Heavenly Palace·Deputy Deity of Lifespan.

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan was eating pastries made from the delicacies of the nine wilds, his face somewhat unpleasant. He said in a low voice, "Two of the Ten God Temples have been destroyed, both by the hand of Qiong Qi. This Qiong Qi really needs to be punished."

"Destroyed by Qiong Qi?"

The Junior Deity of Lifespan was somewhat puzzled. She blinked her long eyelashes and asked, "Did Qiong Qi deliberately expose them?"

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan calculated with his fingers, with Yin and Yang Qi swirling around his fingertips. He said slowly:

"Qiong Qi plotted against two sects with the power of the Ten God Temples, controlled one immortal sect, and wanted to start a civil war in the Human Realm. But it was caught by the Ren Emperor Pavilion.

Qiong Qi is too impatient and shortsighted.

Do they really think that the Ten God Temples were nurtured by their blood? Isn't it because we protected them with the rules of the Heavenly Palace that they grew quickly."

The Junior Deity of Lifespan said indifferently, "Trash is always trash, why do you have faith in the likes of Qiong Qi?"

"You are a bit arrogant."

The dissatisfaction in the Deputy Deity of Lifespan's eyes was not concealed at all. He said directly, "Can you replace Qiong Qi's divine power?"

The Junior Deity of Lifespan snorted, "Instead of beating around the bush, why not kill the Human Emperor and take back the Fire Path."

"You know as well as I do that the Human Realm cannot be deeply penetrated."

The Deputy Deity of Lifespan's finger slid across the mirror in front of him, and the shadows of many exotic beasts appeared on it.

"Instead of talking about these useless things, let's discuss which new Evil God to choose.

The divine power of the nephew could not be recovered, and promoting a new Evil God would have to use the reserves of the divine pool. I'm afraid the Emperor will not be pleased."

"Hmph, you, the steward of the Heavenly Palace, really have to calculate everything."

The Junior Deity of Lifespan's eyes shone with a seven-colored light, staring at the shadows of dozens of exotic beasts in front of her, selecting the suitable candidate for the new Evil God.

Outside the hall, the sea of clouds was surging, and within it, several giant pythons seemed to be slowly swimming.

Above the Heavenly Palace, the sun star was slowly flying by, but the rumored Sun Chariot was nowhere to be seen.

...

Human Realm, the base of the Extinguishing Sect.

The bustle in the rift valley had lasted for a day and a night and had not yet dispersed. The demon cultivators patrolling inside the mountain protection formation were also carrying a few pots of wine, discussing the gossip and interesting events caused by the Sect Master.

The Great Elder could finally return to his familiar thatched hut, change into a red robe, dye his blood hair even brighter, and give the 'Life Lessons of the Great Elder' to the young boys and girls in the sect.

In the past, he always started with the creation of the human race by the Holy Mother Nuwa;

But now, after only a few words, he began to promote the glorious deeds of the Sect Master.

Unfortunately, just as the Extinguishing Sect was about to return to its daily tranquility, a flying shuttle brought two uninvited guests - Xing Tian and his body cultivation teacher.

As soon as Xing Tian arrived at the Extinguishing Sect, his face was solemn, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the strong blood qi all over his body made the Extinguishing Sect's Heavenly Immortal elder who greeted him feel shocked and terrified.

Xing Tian smiled awkwardly, "I just broke through a few small stages and couldn't suppress my aura... Where's my younger brother?"

"The Sect Master is still drunk."

"Quick, wake him up!"

Xing Tian's eyes were full of urgency, and he said in a deep voice, "If he sleeps any longer, his head will explode!"

The elder didn't understand, but he felt the urgency of the situation. He didn't dare to be careless and led Xing Tian and the Ren Emperor Pavilion expert straight to the Sect Master's sleeping quarters.
