Chapter 5013 Was the trip successful?

All of Ye Tian's tens of millions of demon puppets remained in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. As for these demon puppet armies, Xiao Yan could call them up at any time, no matter where they were.

Their presence here also serves to protect the Ten Thousand Demon Palace to some extent, acting as a deterrent for Little Fairy Doctor left by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's trip was to return to the Ancient God Realm, where he had already obtained the Soul of the Void Cave and the number one ranked Annihilation Flame from the two mysterious areas.

In terms of his true form, he broke through to the third level, the Nine Origin Realm, but this time, after obtaining the Annihilation Flame, there was no sign of improvement.

This is the constraint of the Nine Origins. Further up, one can comprehend more origins, but the Nine Origins remain the limit. Only by advancing to the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm can one reach this limit.

Xiao Yan still doesn't have an answer, because although he obtained the Annihilation Flame, he hasn't truly mastered it. At this moment, the Annihilation Flame within his body is weak and feeble. The previous owner didn't tell Xiao Yan how to use this flame, so he still needs to figure it out himself.

As they traveled, Xiao Yan and Ye Beijing appeared simultaneously in a certain place in the void of Nanling. Xiao Yan was able to directly sense the location of the moving Ancient God Realm through the jade slip left by the Empress.

Holding the jade slip, Xiao Yan saw a flash of light, and the two of them took another step forward, disappearing into the void and entering the Ancient God Realm.

The place was bustling with activity. Since Xiao Yan first entered the Ancient God Realm, this place has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The Ancient God Realm widely recruits powerful beings and provides them with resources for cultivation. When Xiao Yan entered this place, he could clearly feel that the powerful auras were increasing.

As soon as Xiao Yan entered the Ancient God Realm, he saw his senior brothers. It was as if they had anticipated his return and had come early to welcome him.

"Junior brother, welcome back."

They all looked at Xiao Yan with smiles on their faces.

"Thanks to my senior brothers for paving the way for me, otherwise this trip would not have been so smooth," Xiao Yan said with a smile. He had not seen them on his last return.

"paving?"

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, his senior brothers looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

“We have been in seclusion in the Ancient God Realm and have never left,” Ke Yun said.

"It seems Her Majesty the Empress lied, but this trip went smoothly enough. Thank you, senior brothers!" Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a fist and smiled. His senior brothers looked at Xiao Yan, their eyes changing slightly.

"Junior brother, Her Majesty the Empress said that you should go to the Thousand Machines Pavilion to find her after you return," Ke Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Yan nodded, then looked at Ye Beijing.

"Then I'll trouble you senior brothers to help entertain this senior from the Ancient Realm of Immortals and Demons."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he moved and headed towards the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

After Xiao Yan left, the senior brothers raised their hands, clasped their fists, and bowed. Their gazes toward Ye Beijing seemed familiar, as if they recognized him.

"Are you Xiao Yan's senior brothers? You guys are really handsome. Want to have a drink together? After drinking, we can take a bath and sleep together. I'd love to."

Ye Beijing fanned his big eyes with his palm leaf fan, and his words immediately startled his fellow disciples, who retreated in fear.

"Let us...show you around."

Such an open-minded woman is rare. They never expected that this woman, who was rumored to be a woman of lust, was really true. Who could resist her?

...............

"My husband is back. Did your trip go smoothly?"

Inside the Thousand Machines Pavilion, the Empress, dressed in white, sat on a cushion, lightly touching the ink with a brush before putting pen to paper.

Xiao Yan walked into the main hall. The scroll stretched from the Empress's desk all the way to the entire hall, with a length exceeding one hundred meters.

The patterns on them are all of Xiao Yan, but his appearance is still somewhat different.

"It went relatively smoothly, but we did encounter some dangers." Xiao Yan nodded, approached the Empress, and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"This painting is for you, but it will take some time to complete," the Empress said. Xiao Yan looked at the earnest Empress, slightly rubbing his forehead. It looked absolutely beautiful from this angle.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Xiao Yan hadn't relaxed for a moment. He knew that Taixu's defeat was only temporary and more like a strategic one, and he didn't know what Taixu was planning.

Although they verbally claim to be cooperating with Xu Qian Taiyi, can Xu Qian Taiyi really be trusted, and is Xu Zhu truly the King of Taixu?

At this level of understanding, even what one sees with one's own eyes may not be the truth. Taixu's plans and thoughts are far more complex than Xiao Yan's.

"You don't need to be too anxious. If there are no unexpected changes, it will take at least several thousand years to break through the barrier of the Divine Xi World with the power of the Great Void alone. Recently, the destruction has even stopped."

The empress spoke slowly as she painted.

"I still don't understand how Taixu will fight Shenxi, and what their plans are. Could the Empress please explain to me in detail?"

Xiao Yan said solemnly. The Empress stopped writing with her brush, then raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were calm and serene, yet her beauty was beyond compare.

"This battle may unfold as a counterattack. I have already made preparations to counterattack Taixu, but now we need to wait for the right opportunity."

The empress said, and then continued to paint with her head down.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at the painting. The figure in the painting had a face that was very similar to his, but his clothes and body shape were different.

As for the timing the Empress mentioned, Xiao Yan didn't ask any further questions. He didn't need to. All the Empress did was to prevent Xiao Yan from overthinking and to focus his mind entirely on cultivation.

"This painting...is me...but not me?" Xiao Yan murmured.

"This is your ninth incarnation, so it will have to be slower," the Empress said. Although Xiao Yan knew that the Empress liked to paint, he didn't understand why she was still painting now.

What is the meaning behind this painting, which depicts his ninth incarnation?

Xiao Yan didn't ask. These were questions, not something a smart person would ask.

"If the Empress has nothing else to say, I will return to my residence first." Xiao Yan clasped his hands slightly in a fist salute.

"Your current cultivation level has reached the third level, the Nine Origin Realm, is that correct?" the Empress asked again. Xiao Yan froze, as if his strength was being controlled by the Empress at any moment.

"Yes, I didn't improve after obtaining the Annihilation Flame, and I have no understanding or comprehension of this fourth level at all," Xiao Yan replied.

"Your breakthrough opportunity doesn't lie in Shenxi. Tianzang King went to the Mountain and Sea World. You should go there too, to comprehend transcendence and become a Transcendent Realm expert," the Empress said. Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this.

Is he going to have to leave the Divine World again? Xiao Yan didn't actually want to leave. The last time he left, the Empress was captured by Taixu. Although it was the Empress's intention, it still made him worry.

"The world of mountains and seas is currently embroiled in internal strife, much like the ancient world of immortals and demons. If you can lend a helping hand and gather strength, that would be the true purpose of your trip."

"To further enhance our current strength, we need more opportunities and good fortune. We should seize what we should seize and take what we should take." The Empress spoke the most domineering words in the gentlest voice.

The God of War and the Immortal Emperor were about vying for resources; now, they need to fight for destiny, and more importantly, they need to comprehend themselves. The path of cultivation will only become more and more difficult.
