Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 588 - 504: Return!

Crack——

Heaven descends with a violent thunder!

The roar shakes the four extremes!

How dignified is the severe punishment of the Heavenly Dao, substituting for the punishment means provoking the Heavenly Dao.

And the cost...

is tenfold punishment!

Taking a step forward, standing tall in the waterfall of thunder descending from the sky, Daoist Qingya glanced at Qi Xiu, who was still immersed in the aftermath of annihilating the past and had not yet awakened, flicked his finger and sent that Primordial Spirit Idea into his arms.

"Kid, I hope next time we meet, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me..."

Leaving this sentence lightly, Daoist Qingya walked into the boundless Thunder Light that resembled the Thundering Great World without turning back.

...

"Qi Xiu?"

The call that echoed into his ears slowly awakened Qi Xiu.

What he saw was Hu Tianzong's hesitant expression.

"Hmm?"

Momentarily stunned, Qi Xiu suddenly realized that Daoist Qingya might have slipped away ahead of time.

This fat Daoist has run away again...

Just as Qi Xiu was bitterly smiling at Daoist Qingya tricking him once again, a warmth suddenly transmitted from within his chest.

Following this, the usage of the Primordial Spirit Idea also poured into his mind.

Gently pressing the Primordial Spirit Idea in his chest, Qi Xiu's eyes slightly moved, and he helplessly sighed.

Well, perhaps there are things that my current cultivation is not yet qualified to touch.

"Things outside have been resolved; you were quite fierce just now, single-handedly suppressing three Black God Venerables, making those True Monarchs of the Dao Body think we always had a Primordial Spirit Boss aboard."

Because Daoist Qingya froze the time branch, it wasn't until he left that he released it, so the outside world was still stuck at the moment when the Black God Venerable was forcibly sunk into the sea by Qi Xiu.

"That was the last attack; there won't be any more afterward."

With the Mystic Monarch's incarnation dead, naturally, no one would cause trouble again, so Qi Xiu confidently told Hu Tianzong.

"Are you sure?"

Listening to the certainty in Qi Xiu's words, Hu Tianzong also breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's great; at last, we can rest for a while."

Without the interference of the Mystic Monarch's incarnation, the Dragon Whale Giant Ship returned to the Guixu Sea; after Profound Heart Four Extreme True Monarch Chu Xinyi measured the location, everyone finally embarked on the journey back.

On the deck.

Twenty True Monarchs of the Dao Body were in readiness, kept a close watch on the surrounding sea region; although the influence of the Mystic Monarch's incarnation was gone, the Dragon Whale Giant Ship's Law Furnace was still damaged.

Even after the Shen Brothers and Heavy Mystery Sect True Monarch tried to repair more Law Furnaces and activate Protective Divine Light,

they still couldn't bypass the numerous node connections of the vital energy meridians and had to give up dejectedly.

Ultimately, everyone could only use the old method, having the True Monarchs of the Dao Body on board personally escort the ship, acting as Protective Divine Light, to ensure the Dragon Whale Giant Ship could proceed smoothly.

After a year and five months.

When the enormous Dragon Whale Giant Ship broke through the layers of mist in the deep sea of Ruins of Return and returned to the coastal region, gazing far at the horizon of Central Earth.

All the True Monarchs of the Dao Body on the ship couldn't help but feel a sense of rebirth.

On this expedition, they almost came with the mindset of certain death.

After enduring the terrifying slaughter in the Southern Ming Wasteland, which resembled a meat grinder, and then encountering the bizarre, wicked assaults on the return journey, even facing simultaneous attacks from three Black God Venerables and countless Guixu Sea creatures.

The fear and thrill of wandering between life and death left an indelible mark on them.

"Being alive is wonderful…"

Looking at the sunshine filtering through the thick clouds overhead, Huo Xiao leaned against the mast, expressing this heartfelt sentiment.

And there were quite a few True Monarchs of the Dao Body who shared Huo Xiao's feelings.

"After this battle, we at least have a life-and-death bond, should any difficulties arise in the future, let's help each other."

Returning to the coastal area, everyone knew they would disembark, and it would be time to part ways.

On this journey, they had trudged through the Blood Sea together.

Someone proposed, why not take this opportunity to make an alliance agreement.

Although as True Monarchs of the Dao Body, they were all in positions second to one, above thousands, in Central Earth.

But with this journey to the Southern Ming Wasteland, everyone vaguely sensed that true chaos might soon descend.

Before that, securing more initiatives equates to gaining more insurance for the future.

And this proposal soon met with the majority's agreement.

"What do you think, interested?"

On the mast, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong sat shoulder to shoulder, clearly hearing the discussion below. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Yet for them, given their stature, joining such an alliance would offer no real benefits, only extra unnecessary trivialities.

After all, if they encountered problems beyond their own capacity, these True Monarchs of the Dao Body would likely be even less capable of resolving them.

If so, what's the point in joining?

"Forget it, I prefer solitude, these matters aren't suitable for me." Waving his hand, Qi Xiu politely declined.

Right now, all he wants is to return to Shenxiao Sect for a period of secluded cultivation.

This trip to the Southern Ming Wasteland was quite fruitful for him.

Not only successfully embodying the Dao of the Five Elements but also gaining top-tier magical treasures like Frost Cloud Flame, Heaven-Earth Annihilation, and Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel.

Along with the Primordial Spirit Idea left by Daoist Qingya.

Additionally, most importantly, the sword-wielding lady is still confined within his Universe in the Sleeve.

Once back at Shenxiao Sect, he intends to collaborate with Supreme Sect Leader Dongfang Qing to extract highly vital secrets from this lady.

"You might not get your wish; you've shone brightly in the Southern Ming Wasteland this time, making quite an impression.

The Dao Alliance's invitation is probably already on its way."

With a laugh, Hu Tianzong clapped Qi Xiu's shoulder, his crimson great cloak fluttered slightly, obscurely forming high shadows around them, creating a barrier that isolates everything.

"A few words of advice.

The Dao Alliance is unfathomably deep, so deep you can't imagine, it can even swallow entire Primordial Spirit True Honors."

"So if the Dao Alliance does come to invite you.

Make sure your Supreme Sect Leader accompanies you, remember, remember!"

Hu Tianzong's serious reminder made Qi Xiu's expression tense; it seems the Dao Alliance, built in the Near Ancient Era by Primordial Spirit True Honors to protect the Human Race and guard the Tianyuan Main Realm, is not so luminously benevolent.

"Got it, I'll keep your words in mind."

Nodding, Qi Xiu took Hu Tianzong's warning to heart.

Arriving in the coastal area, without outside interference, the Dragon Whale Giant Ship's speed instantly stepped up several notches.

It quickly returned to the departure point at Yunpu Main Port.

"Ah! My ship!"

As soon as the Dragon Whale Giant Ship docked, the current Sect Master of Yunhai Waves Sect immediately let out a piercing cry.

Meanwhile, all the True Monarchs of the Dao Body on board tacitly exchanged silent glances, saying nothing.

Leaving the Sect Master of Yunhai Waves Sect to curse furiously on the deck, indifferent.

After all, this matter will be handled by the Dao Alliance afterward; they needn't step in to be berated at this time.

"Qi, if you have time someday, you can come to Liaodong Changsheng Mountain and visit me; I will surely welcome you warmly and show you the scenery beyond the border."

Back at Central Earth, Hu Tianzong raised his hand to bid farewell to Qi Xiu and subsequently extended an invitation to visit Liaodong beyond the border.

"Don't worry, once I've dealt with the matters at hand, I'll surely visit."

Remembering Hu Tianzong's favor of keeping secrets for him, Qi Xiu naturally agreed.

"Then see you in Liaodong."

Laughing as he cupped his hand in salute, Hu Tianzong lightly shook his King Wen Drum, and instantly a magnificent sedan chair borne by sixteen men appeared under him, swiftly carrying him away until he vanished without a trace.

"Master, shall we return as well?"

Watching Hu Tianzong depart, after bidding farewell to Daoist Yunxiong and Feng Jun, Liu Tai, Qi Xiu and Daoist Yunxiong also transformed into a Thunder Light, heading toward Shenxiao Sect.
