The main hall of the annihilated sect.

A clear and transparent immortal light passed through the curtain, swayed between the folding screen, and gently floated on the surface of the shallow pool, finally returning to Wu Wang, who was sitting diagonally on it.

Since Ling Xianzi was not present and no one else was cultivating, Wu Wang directly occupied the entire circular platform in the center of the water pool.

Several layers of warm and cool monster skins were laid out, and more than ten soft cushions and pillows were piled up. The materials used were all the soft velvet of precious and newly born spirit birds from the Human Realm, which even caused the extinction of several endangered bird species.

The bookshelf on the side was filled with the works of the great sages of the Human Realm, and the desk was covered with the stone tablets personally written by Fu Xi. There were also several strands of spiritual grass newly given by Shen Nong hanging on the wall.

Occasionally, a female disciple wearing cool clothes would walk to the edge of the water pool, either dancing with her shadow or playing a soothing immortal music.

The scene that could be seen every day was the new girl from the annihilated sect, Xiao Deng, riding on an ear mouse and running around, followed by the chubby hands of Mu Da Xian.

It was also the increasingly stunning Su Qing, taking light steps and swaying her soft skirt, fluttering past Wu Wang like a butterfly.

Her cultivation had steadily reached the mid-stage of the Elemental Infant.

When Wu Wang was in the northeast border, he picked up a spiritual bird named Qu Qu and used it as a reward for Su Qing, turning it into a pot of soup.

For some reason, Xiao Deng, the newcomer from the annihilated sect, had been hiding in the ear mouse nest for several days, afraid to show herself.

Today was no exception.

Wu Wang wore a carefree robe, his long hair casually scattered. Sitting diagonally or lying on his side, he opened the letter in his hand and often remained motionless for a day or several days.

[How exactly is longevity achieved?]

For the three months after returning to the annihilated sect, he had been pondering over this question and comprehending the new path of the stars.

He obtained the letter from the former emperor Fu Xi and saw Fu Xi's thoughts on longevity.

It could be determined that longevity had nothing to do with the power one controlled.

Fu Xi proposed two hypotheses: the theory of the origin of heaven and earth, and the theory of longevity biomass.

[Theory of Origin: Heaven and earth have an origin, and the origin evolves into yin and yang. Those who rely on their own path to the origin can achieve longevity.]

[Longevity Objects: Heaven and earth have an undying elixir, which is the essence of heaven and earth. Obtaining it may lead to longevity.]

However, Fu Xi denied the existence of the undying elixir in the letter.

In Wu Wang's speculation, Fu Xi should have found the undying elixir to prolong his life, but discovered that it could only increase one's vitality?

In fact, the theory of the origin of heaven and earth was the most reliable.

The innate gods were nurtured by the great path between heaven and earth. They were born before the order was established and achieved enlightenment from the great path. They should be able to connect to the origin of heaven and earth.

But what exactly was the origin of heaven and earth?

Shen Nong said that Wu Wang had a unique advantage, referring to his mother, the Ice Goddess, who controlled the power of ice between heaven and earth and loved him very much, allowing him to obtain the "cognition" of the innate gods.

In fact, the former's vision was limited.

Now he could directly take action against the Star God and reluctantly analyze the divine body of the Star God.

Could he find any clues in it while temporarily controlling the divine body of the Star God?

Speaking seriously, it was a bit embarrassing for him, a male cultivator, to study the divine body of a goddess...

But within the embarrassment, there was a little excitement.

However, after studying for more than three months, Wu Wang had discovered that the path to longevity required a lot of time and contemplation to grasp.

It was unlikely to use the path of longevity to kill the Deputy Deity of Lifespan in a short period of time.

Coming to this conclusion frustrated Wu Wang for several days.

But after thinking about it, the Deputy Deity of Lifespan was such a powerful innate god, how could he be easily defeated?

It's better to think about killing Qiong Qi.

The voice of the Great Elder came through several layers of formations from outside the door, saying:

"Master, the steward of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion is here to report."

Wu Wang's divine sense swept over and saw familiar faces. He closed the book in his hand with a "thud" and said in a calm voice, "Thank you, Great Elder. Please let the stewards come in."

Then the door was pushed open, and several men and women dressed in brocade robes and long skirts entered. They all had the appearance of old age, but their expressions were somewhat restrained.

Wu Wang also stood up and headed towards the newly renovated study on the side.

Before long, the few people began to report several things that Wu Wang had instructed them to do.

"Lord Wu Wang, after the battle in the northeast region, the entire Human Realm is now aware of it. Following your orders, we have formed sixteen theater troupes to perform this duel in the major cities. However, the pavilion master feels that the roles we arranged overly glorify Xiao Jian, and your name is not mentioned in the script."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "I have just become an immortal, so it is not suitable for me to take the limelight. In this battle, Xiao Jian has made great contributions. If it weren't for him delaying enough time against the Deputy Deity of Lifespan, it would have been difficult to achieve the feat of killing the Evil God twice and injuring the Third Evil God. Xiao Jian will soon become a hall master, right?"

The old woman hurriedly said, "His salary has been increased."

"That's good," Wu Wang tapped the table with his finger. "At that time, none of you saw how dangerous the situation was. The only criterion we used to judge whether to take action in advance was whether the Deputy Deity of Lifespan would be injured by Xiao Jian. By the way, the actor playing the Deputy Deity of Lifespan must be handsome. We must not mock the Deputy Deity of Lifespan in this aspect."

The few people were somewhat puzzled, but still nodded.

Another old man with sparse hair spoke up, "Master, the first batch of modified basic cultivation techniques have been distributed by the Four Seas Pavilion and have been released in the Jiuye region. As you said, several illustrations depicting abundant harvests have been added, and some slogans have been revised to depict the prosperity of the Human Realm as something that ordinary people can enjoy. But Master, we clearly have more outstanding aspects, such as poetry, music, essays, and the bustling scenes of the major cities in the Human Realm, where people are crowded together, sweating like rain, and waving their sleeves like clouds.""It's unnecessary," Wu Wang smiled, "Different regions have different customs, and there are aspects that we cannot see, such as food and public security, which are actually what the foreign tribes desire.

Tell them that overthrowing the gods can bring about a stable life for the people in the Human Realm, which is more convincing than anything else."

The several stewards nodded.

One person sighed, "Before you came, Lord, we only had hatred towards the gods, and we would curse them every day, thinking about winning against them in battles. These... ah! These techniques that shine with intelligence actually have such an effect."

Wu Wang's mouth twitched slightly, calmly changing the topic:

"What about the matter of the jurisdiction of the Punishment Hall? How did the seniors discuss it?"

"Your proposal has been mostly approved," the old woman said, "Now the several pavilion masters are discussing how much authority the Punishment Hall should have and how many of the Eight Pavilions in the Human Realm should be exempted."

"Exempted?"

Wu Wang frowned slightly, dissatisfied, "If they are exempted, then what's the point of having this authority?"

"Lord, for example, the Four Seas Pavilion," the old woman said in a deep voice, "The Four Seas Pavilion is mainly active outside the Human Realm, overseeing the scouts in the Nine Wildernesses and the trade with the various clans in the Nine Wildernesses.

If the Punishment Hall were to supervise the Four Seas Pavilion, would the Punishment Hall have to station people in various places?

This would require manpower, wouldn't it be like establishing another Four Seas Pavilion?"

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I will discuss this matter with the pavilion masters; I previously proposed to establish a new hall to manage the punishment of mortals, what did the pavilion masters say about it?"

"It is already being prepared."

"That's good," Wu Wang thought for a while, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, "That's all, thank you all for coming. If there is no urgent matter, you can come back in three months to discuss further matters."

"Yes!"

"We take our leave."

"Lord, Pavilion Master Liu said that if you are hungry, you can go to the main pavilion and the pavilion master will personally cook and prepare three dishes and a soup for you."

Three dishes and a soup?

If he didn't misunderstand, it means that the new Evil God's corpse has been sealed, and now there is a set meal [Gu Diao, Zhu Yan, and Long Zhi] available.

How is the soup counted?

Right, when Qiong Qi escaped, it abandoned its armor and had its wings, tail, and other parts cut off.

This, Qiong Qi three-course meal?

Roasted Qiong Qi wings?

He wondered how it tasted. As the young master of the Bear Hug Clan, he had never enjoyed it before.

After these high-ranking stewards left, Wu Wang asked Lin Suqing to grill some chicken wings. The previous imagination made him hungry.

Unexpectedly, Lin Suqing stood at the entrance of the inner cave, gently lifting her cascading long hair, wearing a cropped top and a short skirt, creating a somewhat hot atmosphere.

She leaned against the stone wall, biting her plump lips, and whispered, "Lord, how do you want to grill them?"

Wu Wang couldn't help but hold his forehead with one hand, feeling annoyed, "Can you stop learning these things from Miao Cuijiao? She doesn't even understand it herself! How many times do I have to say it? You are already beautiful."

"Oh," Lin Suqing stuck out her tongue, nervously rubbing her hands, then blinked her eyes.

Did the young master just praise herself?

"Take off your makeup, today this young master will show you something."

Wu Wang rolled up his sleeves, hummed the North Wilderness war song, and leisurely walked out of the gate.

Lin Suqing suddenly covered her face with her hands, her neck turning red, and flew back to the dressing table.

...

Half a month later;

The Western Sea, the sea area near the Human Realm coastline.

Above the calm sea, a cargo ship dozens of zhang long floated in the air more than ten zhang high, with its sails raised and the bottom formation activated, speeding towards the southeast.

As the journey was about to end, the passengers and crew on board were quite active.

Two figures as tall as iron towers stood at the bow of the ship, overlooking the blue sea and sky. The leader was Xing Tian.

"It's indeed easy to lose motivation at home."

Xing Tian muttered regretfully, "I just took a break at home, and they fought against the Evil God and won, killing two Evil Gods. It seems that our master-disciple duo is worthless."

The old man beside him laughed, "It is said that it was all thanks to Lord Wu Wang."

"My little brother is playing without me! Last time when he returned to the North Wilderness, he didn't even go to the Great Wave Clan," Xing Tian pouted and said, "Master, give your disciple some assurance, when can I surpass you?"

"Just focus on practicing for a few hundred years."

"Then tell me, how did my little brother become so strong so quickly?"

The old man set up a barrier around them, allowing him to tease freely.

He smiled and said, "That's something we have to ask our Majesty. Everyone speculates that our Majesty intentionally cultivated... but to be honest, I don't believe it.

The tribulation that Lord Wu Wang crossed when he became an immortal is almost comparable to the Transcendent Tribulation.

And Lord Wu Wang survived in such a heavenly tribulation solely based on his own strength. It's terrifying to think about it. This shows that Lord Wu Wang's current strength can actually rival the experts at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm and the half-step Transcendent realm.

How old is he?

Even a hundred-year-old Heavenly Immortal can't compare. We truly have a golden dragon among us.

I heard from the messages that Lord Wu Wang hasn't fully revealed his true strength yet. If one day, he stands up and slaughters a minor god, the Heavenly Palace will be in danger."

Xing Tian looked at his teacher with eager eyes and couldn't help but whisper, "Teacher, can we not talk about this? Consider the feelings of your eldest disciple, that's my little brother, and I swore to protect him!"

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

The old man scolded, "Then why do you always hang out with those women in the Great Wave Clan? You are powerless even in your cultivation! You still have the face to say this!"

"Hehehe, it's the local customs. We must respect the traditions of our clan."

Xing Tian revealed his broad back of his head, calmly crossed his arms, and looked up at the sky.He said, "We men of the North Wilderness must not only have broad chests, but also an indestructible back of the head. A true man must have the courage to face hundreds of wooden sticks without changing his color!"

Bang!

A large iron-colored hand swung over, and Xing Tian squatted down clutching his head. The Transcendent body cultivator behind him gritted his teeth in frustration.

This silly disciple, only caring about himself being hit, didn't even think to promote him among the women of the Great Wave Clan!

Was he just a bit old? His body was still very robust!

Really...

"Huh?"

Xing Tian suddenly let out a light exclamation, lowered his head and looked at the sea.

"Master, is there something under the sea?"

The Transcendent glanced indifferently at the bottom of the sea, then slightly frowned.

A strange large ship was lurking a hundred feet under the sea surface, just passing by them. The distance it had moved away was naturally not beyond the Transcendent's detection.

A water-based prohibition from the Human Realm?

"Sniff, sniff," Xing Tian sniffed, muttering a few words, "Why do I smell a familiar scent... It's very provocative."

Master Xing Tian pondered slightly, pointed at the large ship, and pulled back with his large hand, as if he had caught something.

Soon, Master Xing Tian's face changed, he grabbed Xing Tian and plunged into the sea from the side.

Not far away, two shipbuilder cultivators looked at each other.

"Did they pay the fare?"

"It seems not... Because they looked like experts, we didn't dare to ask when they boarded the ship."

"Then call for help, what are you waiting for! Someone jumped into the sea and escaped!"

...

Meanwhile, at the Sect of Annihilation.

A figure stealthily walked out of Wu Wang's cave dwelling, crossed the arch bridge, skimmed over the pavilion, and walked on the familiar mountain road. Her light steps left no footprints.

Turning left and right, she entered a crevice in the corner of the camp, where a small courtyard was hidden.

In the courtyard, there was a tree full of pink flowers and several thatched huts. From a distance, it had a hazy charm.

The figure slipped to the wooden door, looked left and right, and then pushed the door in.

When she turned her head, her face and delicate features were revealed.

Her exquisite nose was charming, her pink lips slightly parted to reveal her white teeth.

Her bright eyes were hard to decipher, her earlobes half-transparent, begging for your pity.

Who else could it be but Lin Suqing?

She took off her cloak and looked at the beauty drinking wine on the tree. Although she looked a bit embarrassed, she still bowed in salute.

"Master! This might be the last time I come to see you!"

"Oh?"

The beauty on the tree looked at Suqing with some confusion and laughed, "Did you succeed? No, you are still a virgin... Why are you discouraged?"

Lin Suqing looked up at her 'master', was inevitably attracted by her figure, and secretly praised her in her heart.

Her master's charm was irresistible even to women!

She lowered her head and said, "Master, I just feel that it's not very good for the young master."

"You are really too soft-hearted," the female demon on the tree floated down, her toes lightly touching the petals on the ground, her eyes filled with a touch of emotion.

It was the head of the Black Desire Sect, Miao Cuijiao.

She asked, "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes! I will just take care of the young master's daily life," Lin Suqing clenched her small fists, "This is my way of repaying him, and it's much easier this way!"

"Silly girl."

Elder Miao laughed helplessly, suddenly looked in the direction of Wu Wang's cave dwelling, and said, "Someone is coming, you go ahead."

"Ah!"

Lin Suqing also captured the movement at her cave dwelling with her spiritual sense. Several figures fell from the sky, rushed over the arch bridge in a hurry, and shouted for an audience in front of the mansion.

She didn't dare to be careless, her figure floated up, stepping on a peach blossom branch, and quickly flew back to the front of the cave dwelling.

Seeing this, Elder Miao just laughed lightly, walked out of the courtyard with her hands behind her back, and headed towards the Treasure Hall.

Before Lin Suqing reached the front of the cave dwelling, she passed the outer barrier that blocked detection and heard the shouting at the mansion. She was also shocked.

The Heavenly Immortals who should be the Lin family's guards said:

"Master Wu Wang! Young Master Ji Mo was attacked and seriously injured and was taken away! Our young master is leading people in pursuit, but now we can't find the other party's trace! Before this, Young Master Ji Mo had found out that Yunxiu Square and Four Seas Pavilion are secretly colluding!"

Woo——

The heavy cave dwelling door slowly opened, and Wu Wang stood behind the door with a pale face, exuding a fierce aura that did not belong to the cultivators of the Human Realm.

"Mu Mu! Take me to the Four Seas Pavilion!"
