Chapter 2198: Chapter 2198: Return to Earth
Under Tru’s lead, Ye Haochuan quickly found the other part of the blue Skeleton Head’s body, and after the fusion, the blue Skeleton Head’s strength clearly surged, causing Ye Haochuan’s Heavenly Eye Incineration to suddenly grow far more powerful as well.
Then, with a turn of Ye Haochuan’s mind, the surrounding environment abruptly shifted, and he appeared inside a luxuriously magnificent palace.
Ye Haochuan felt it was somewhat familiar. Thinking carefully, he realized with a jolt that this was actually within the White Court Origin Realm.
After absorbing the God Summoning Stone here as well, Ye Haochuan took the few women with him and sped off, flying toward the South City.
Before long, he arrived in front of a desolate stretch of land.
"Huh? How come there’s no one here?"
Ye Haochuan was puzzled. He quickly opened his Perception and completely probed everything within several hundred li around him.
This Perception couldn’t be unleashed in the Immortal Realm, but on Earth, it was incredibly easy.
However, before Ye Haochuan could find the people he wanted to find, a group of Cultivators were drawn over by the fluctuation of his Perception.
"Who goes there? How dare you run wild at the Xuanmen White Court sub-branch!" A shout rang out along with the figures of several Cultivators.
After several years, hearing the name "Xuanmen" again, Ye Haochuan felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
When the few Cultivators came close and saw Ye Haochuan’s face clearly, they suddenly froze.
One lean youth abruptly stepped forward, slapped Ye Haochuan on the shoulder, and said, "Ye Haochuan, it really is you? How did you come back?"
Ye Haochuan smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see, Long Yang!"
Long Yang laughed heartily and said with emotion, "You bastard, you’ve really thrown me so far behind now that I don’t even know where you are anymore. Why do I feel like you’re way more unfathomable than Sect Master Ye! You know, Sect Master Ye has already reached the Cultivation of Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage now!"
Ye Haochuan was stunned and said in some surprise, "Grandpa has actually advanced to that level too?"
Back then, Ye Haochuan had caused the Taichi Yin Yang Fish near the Heavenly Road to spin once more, making the Spiritual Energy on Earth roar back into abundance, even giving rise to a considerable amount of Flower Energy.
With this boon, the Cultivation of the Cultivators on Earth once again began to soar by leaps and bounds, with countless people breaking through the Immortal Transformation barrier.
He believed that it wouldn’t be long before the strength of Xuanmen would surpass the Tianxi World, and it might even catch up to the Immortal Realm.
"By the way, where did Chen Qiwen and the others go? And how come her mother’s grave is gone too?" After chatting idly with Long Yang for a while, he suddenly asked.
Long Yang’s expression suddenly hardened, and he said solemnly, "I don’t know about that either. Not long after you left back then, they completely vanished. Sect Master Ye even personally came to investigate, but he didn’t find anything, and in the end could only let it drop."
"Looks like she and I were fated to meet, but not meant to be in the end!" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help letting out a soft sigh.
It seemed that Chen Qiwen and her aunt Wan Xi didn’t want to have any more entanglements with Ye Haochuan, so they chose to hide away.
Back then, everything that needed explaining, Ye Haochuan had already explained. Chen Qiwen still made such a decision, and Ye Haochuan could only accept it helplessly.
Under Long Yang’s escort, Ye Haochuan quickly walked out of the White Court Origin Realm and arrived on Earth.
This was the former territory of the United States, but now the entire world had been unified under Huaxia, and this place was naturally no exception.
Those Americans who had once been so arrogant had now long since learned to treat Huaxia People with respect. However, the Huaxia People studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and did not look down on them, presenting a scene of peaceful coexistence.
"The Flower Energy on Earth has actually already reached a level comparable to the Immortal Realm?" Feeling the abundant Flower Energy all around, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.
At his side, Li Yun and Pan Muxiang were already beside themselves with joy. The Flower Energy here was far more abundant than in the Tianxi World.
Only Rui’er, looking at this world she had once lived in, felt it was somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat strange.
She had originally thought that going to the Tianxi World was moving upward, but unexpectedly, it was clearly like she had gone from a World of Immortals down into the mundane world.
The group moved at astounding speed and very soon arrived at the Huaxia Imperial Capital.
At this time, Xuanmen’s headquarters had already been moved out of the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm and established near the operating Taichi Yin Yang Fish. This was also the place with the densest Flower Energy on Earth.
Even Ye Haochuan was quite shocked after arriving here. This level of Flower Energy density was something he had never encountered even in the Immortal Realm.
Ye Hao, Ye Xian, and the others had long been waiting outside.
Especially Tong Xiangxiu, whose eyes filled with tears the instant she saw Ye Haochuan. She threw her arms around him and refused to let go.
Who could possibly imagine how this mother had lived out those years that felt like centuries, while her son ventured out alone and vanished without a trace?
On the other side, Xiao Haimei and the other women were also all waiting with tears in their eyes. Although they didn’t fight with Tong Xiangxiu for him, it was still easy to see the longing in their gaze.
After chatting with Ye Haochuan for a while, Tong Xiangxiu and the other two voluntarily stepped back, leaving Ye Haochuan to her many daughters-in-law.
The women had waited far too long for this opportunity, so there was no way they would let even a second slip by. They swarmed forward, a chorus of sweet voices, all chattering at once as they poured out their longing.
Off to the side, Pan Muxiang quietly watched this scene, all kinds of emotions—shock, resentment, anger—mixed together in her eyes.
On the way here, Ye Haochuan had already told her he had other women. She did feel some knots in her heart, but in the end she still wanted to try accepting it.
But she hadn’t expected that the "women" Ye Haochuan spoke of would number in the dozens, and every one of them was a stunning beauty, which made her feel on the verge of collapse.
A moment later, she suddenly took out that black cloak, put it on, and hid herself entirely inside it.
Not long after, Ye Haochuan had already been crowded into the house.
Inside, the place was filled with banquet tables. All those who had old ties with Ye Haochuan, or who were now top pillars of Xuanmen, were already waiting there. The place was packed inside and out with no fewer than a thousand people.
Pan Muxiang and Li Yun did not attend this banquet and were arranged to rest in a villa.
Rui’er had once been a key criminal of Xuanmen. Now that she had returned with Ye Haochuan and Ye Haochuan had personally spoken up on her behalf, Ye Hao and the others naturally didn’t make things difficult for her, and let her go to the villa together with Pan Muxiang.
At this banquet, the women were arranged in another side chamber, while Ye Haochuan was brought to the main seat and sat beside Ye Hao.
On his left-hand side were precisely several people from the original Genius Seven Kills Formation.
What shocked Ye Haochuan was that all their Cultivation had already reached Nascent Soul; Liu Sheng was the most formidable, having already reached the Nascent Soul Peak level, faintly showing signs of breaking through to Immortal Transformation.
Seeing Ye Haochuan, the few of them were all extremely excited.
If they hadn’t followed Ye Haochuan back then, they wouldn’t have been valued so highly by Xuanmen. Over these years, they had received a massive outpouring of resources from Xuanmen, allowing them to achieve their current strength in one stroke.
On his right-hand side were Yang Sen, Long Yin, Elder Pei and other experts of the older generation, as well as several Old Monsters who had survived from the Secret Realm, with Ku Hai surprisingly among them.
These few old-generation powerhouses and Secret Realm Old Monsters had all already broken through to Immortal Transformation by now, and several of them, like Ye Hao, had advanced to the level of Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage.
As one of the Five Great Geniuses back then, Ku Hai’s Cultivation had long since caught up and he too had broken through to Immortal Transformation.
Looking at these old acquaintances on either side whose Cultivation had skyrocketed, Ye Haochuan was deeply moved.
So he was the real fool—going through countless hardships to run off to the Immortal Realm to suffer, while everyone here just cultivated steadily and still had their strength increase tremendously.
