Peerless God Emperor

Ever since Qin Xuan and the others left, the Nine Territories had entered a period of peaceful development. Their overall strength had increased by quite a lot, especially their peak combat strength. It could be said that they had improved by leaps and bounds.    

Old man Tianji had once again broken through the bottleneck of his cultivation realm and stepped into the eighth level, becoming the top figure in the Nine Territories.    

All the great Lord of Gods' Palace, Wasteland Lord, Dragon Lord, and the other top experts of the nine regions had also broken through to the seventh step, becoming many times stronger than before.    

The shackles of the Profound Sky Continent had been broken, and Divine Power began to appear in this world. The reason why they were able to make such great progress in such a short period of time was actually because they had accumulated a lot of experience, and it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.    

The Heavenly Courts of the Nine Territories were also constantly expanding and becoming the strongest force in the Nine Territories.    

In the past, Qin Xuan had hoped to unite all the powers in the Nine Territories into a single entity. The Demon Clan and the human race would no longer have any civil war, and they would be able to progress together. Now, his idea had truly come true.    

On top of the Cloud Cliff Mountain, numerous towering palaces stood tall on the ground. Although it had experienced destruction once, the Xiangtian Palace hadn't been defeated. Instead, it stood up once more, and it was even more powerful than before.    

In a great hall deep inside, a white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged on a hassock. His eyes were tightly shut, and there was a hint of immortal Qi on his kind face. As if he had attained the Dao, he seemed to be extremely unfathomable.    

This old man was naturally old man Tianji.    

At a certain moment, old man Tianji seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly opened his eyes and gazed at the sky. A brilliant Star Light was unleashed from his eyes. It instantly penetrated through the hall and shot towards the boundless void.    

After sensing for a period of time, old man Tianji's expression was trembling. His face that was filled with vicissitudes of life couldn't help but reveal an excited expression. Were they going to come back?    

"Someone come!" old man Tianji shouted towards the outside of the hall.    

In just a few breaths of time, a few figures walked into the hall. One of them asked old man Tianji, "What orders do you have, Palace Lord?"    

"Send someone to the Heavenly Courts of the Nine Territories to inform them that the person who went to the Upper Realm is coming back soon. Send this news to the various powers of the Nine Territories as soon as possible. Don't make any mistakes!" old man Tianji said in a deep voice. His expression was incomparably solemn, as if he was instructing an extremely important matter.    

Those people were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted. Their hearts trembled violently.    

The people of the Upper Realm were about to return?    

This was simply shocking news!    

They didn't doubt old man Tianji's words. Since Palace Lord had spoken, he must have full confidence.    

"Let's go now. " Those people replied. After that, they all shot out of the hall.    

Not long after. The Heavenly Courts of the Nine Territories received the news from the Xiangtian Palace.    

Countless experts were in shock. They couldn't believe that the news was true. After all, it hadn't been long since Qin Xuan and the others left. How could they return so quickly?    

However, this news came from old man Tianji's mouth. They had no choice but to believe it. Therefore, many experts left the Heavenly Courts and brought the news back to their respective powers.    

After receiving the news, the experts of the various powers flew up to the sky, as if they were waiting for the people of the Upper Realm to return.    

In the void above the Cloud Cliff Mountain, old man Tianji and many elders of the Xiangtian Palace were there, their faces filled with anticipation. They wondered what kind of news Qin Xuan and the others would bring them this time.    

After an unknown period of time, a dazzling light suddenly shot down from the sky. It penetrated through the heaven and earth like a spatial passageway, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.    

"Have you returned?"    

The endless crowd was extremely excited. Their breathing seemed to have stopped, as if they were afraid that they would miss the most important moment.    

In the next moment, an extraordinary figure walked out from the light. That person's long hair was fluttering in the wind. He was wearing white clothes and had a graceful bearing. His entire body was filled with endless charm, making people unable to look away.    

"It's Qin Xuan!"    

The hearts of countless people trembled, and their faces were filled with excitement. They would never forget this figure, because he was the legend of the Nine Territories.    

Qin Xuan's senses were extremely powerful, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. He swept his gaze across the surrounding void, and when he saw the crowd gathering in all directions, his expression froze. They were. . .    

Why were there so many people waiting for him?    

At this moment, Qin Xuan was somewhat stupefied. Was this a coincidence?    

"Welcome home!"    

An extremely amiable voice drifted over from afar. Qin Xuan's eyes were fixed on it. He immediately recognized that it was old man Tianji's voice, and his heart couldn't help but be stirred.    

It seemed like this wasn't a coincidence. Old man Tianji knew that he was coming back in advance, and that was why this scene had appeared.    

A warm feeling flowed through Qin Xuan's heart when he thought of this. The Nine Territories was his hometown, and it contained too many memories. At this moment, countless people from the Nine Territories were welcoming him back, and it made him feel like he was going home.    

Behind Qin Xuan, silhouettes walked out from the light one after another. Yan Qingyun, Duan Ruoxi, Mo Lishang, Chu Feng and Murong Guangzhao. . . They also noticed that many people were looking at them from afar. Their hearts were touched, and their faces were full of smiles.    

Now, they had returned home.    

"Let's return to our respective powers and reminisce about the past with our families. Let's put the rest aside for now. " Qin Xuan said to the surrounding people.    

"Alright. " Everyone nodded their heads and flew in different directions.    

"Let's return to the Sunset Solitary Smoke City. " Qin Xuan looked at Duan Ruoxi, Yan Qingyun, and Qin Tianli.    

"Okay. " The three of them nodded at the same time. Qin Xuan's parents and teacher were both in the Sunset Solitary Smoke City, so they naturally had to go back to visit them.    

Within the Sunset Solitary Smoke City, within the City Lord's Mansion. . .    

Strands of zither music reverberated continuously in the space, and within the sound of zither, there was a sense of relaxation and joy. A middle-aged man wearing a white robe was sitting under the pavilion, playing the zither. He had a refined temperament, and had a somewhat romantic air about him.    

Beside him, another middle-aged man was drinking by himself. He seemed to be enjoying himself.    

It was a great fortune to be able to drink while listening to the zither.    

"Hmm?" Ximen Guyan suddenly frowned and stopped playing. He looked up. There was a strange look in his eyes. He felt that someone was watching this space.    

"Which friend is hiding in the dark? Why don't you show yourself?" Ximen Guyan said with a loud voice. His voice was full of energy, and he didn't care about the identity of the person hiding in the dark. Currently, in the Nine Territories, no one dared to disrespect him.    

Qin Lei immediately put down the wine cup in his hand, and a sharp light flashed across his eyes. Someone was secretly spying on this place?    

At this moment, a bright light shone in the spatial zone. Four figures appeared at the same time. They were Qin Xuan, Duan Ruoxi, and the others.    

"Disciple greets Master. " Qin Xuan bowed to Ximen Guyan. Then, he looked at Qin Lei and said, "Disciple greets father!"    

"Qin Xuan. . . !"    

When Ximen Guyan and Qin Lei saw Qin Xuan and the others, their eyes froze in the space. Were they hallucinating?    

Didn't Qin Xuan go to the Asura Hell? Why did he suddenly appear here?
