Sky Above and Fire Sparrow cried out, while the Azure Dragon roared.
The sound was singular yet contained a unique charm, as if it were a communication from ancient times.
Suddenly, the Azure Dragon stopped beside Fire Sparrow, who also came to a halt, turning its head to gently rub its beak against Xi Men Yu Ying. Its eyes were filled with affection.
Xi Men Yu Ying still possessed an alluring figure, but her demeanor and aura radiated purity. Even though her form could provoke impure thoughts, the sanctity of her presence dispelled any such notions.
With both hands alive with two orbs of white flame, she softly asked, "Are you leaving now, Pink~~ Fire Sparrow?"
"Chirp~~"
"Roar~~" The Azure Dragon also emanated a sense of goodwill.
Xi Men Yu Ying nodded and said, "Alright, I will come back to Huaxia to see you when I have the chance."
Chirp~~ Roar~~
The Fire Sparrow and Azure Dragon simultaneously called out before soaring into the sky, breaking through the fabric of space as they flew eastward.
Beside them, a simple farmer appeared out of nowhere. Watching the direction in which the Fire Sparrow and Azure Dragon had departed, he murmured, "The Fire Sparrow has finally appeared."
The farmer looked around at the others and said, "Central Land Divine Continent Four Great Guardian Beasts have gathered. Soon, Huaxia Land will regain its former glory. If you are interested, you may return to develop."
Then, the farmer suddenly gazed into the void before lowering his head to look at Lian Yun. "With the Four Sacred Beasts gathered, this Yin Yang City is basically no longer necessary. However, we have less than ten years left for you to meet our expectations. Can you achieve that in ten years?"
"What level does the senior hope for me to reach?" Lian Yun asked respectfully.
To be honest, at that moment, Lian Yun felt just as bewildered as most others. What were these Four Great Sacred Beasts? If Huaxia truly had the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Fire Sparrow, and Black Tortoise—did that not imply four great emperors? Adding in the Eternal Emperor, the current Emperor Yi, and the Peerless Demon Master, Huaxia would possess seven emperors in total. That was more than half of the world's total!
Moreover, it seemed that the primary purpose of this Yin Yang City, established by the Eternal Emperor, was to facilitate the revival of the Fire Sparrow. What schemes lay behind this? What hidden secrets were entwined within?
Lian Yun felt an inexplicable sense of confusion.
"How can you stand on equal footing with us if you do not become an Emperor? Also, let your three soul fragments return to your main body. While having clones can be convenient, it lowers your own comprehension."
"For instance, if you did not have your soul divided into four parts, you might have already grasped the second and third forms of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique."
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Emperor Yi vanished from sight.
Lian Yun lowered his head in silence.
He realized that Emperor Yi was right. Although three cobblers could match one Zhuge Liang, some matters could not be changed by mere numbers.
Take a difficult math problem, for example; it might stump ten thousand people, yet only one or two can solve it. Now that Lian Yun had divided his soul into four parts, he had gained many conveniences over the years, but it also diminished his own comprehension. Otherwise, he might have crafted the Half-Emperor Set or truly understood the second and third forms of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique by now.
However, without the Three Golden Hairs, Lian Yun felt it would be quite inconvenient to give up his clones, as he had grown accustomed to them.
Yet, listening to Emperor Yi's tone, it seemed time was of the essence. Taking a deep breath, Lian Yun decided to call back the Three Golden Hairs. Additionally, he began to understand a bit about the expectations of the Emperors: that he must become an Emperor himself before dealing with external matters. Perhaps this was also why they had not left Earth.
With a decision made, Lian Yun looked up and found Xi Men Yu Ying standing in front of him without him noticing. The aura of a Half Emperor made Lian Yun feel somewhat subdued, yet she looked at him with an unusually calm expression.
"Grandpa~~"
"Ah~~" Xi Men Xiangyang called out cheerfully, resembling a kind old man as he bent slightly and approached with a smile. He seemed genuinely happy.
"Grandpa, Ying'er is taking Dream Sister out for a while; we'll come back to see you later."
"Alright, alright. Ying'er, you've grown up; it's fine for you to go wherever you like. Just remember to come back and visit me when you have time."
Xi Men Yu Ying nodded with a slight smile before looking at Meng Yixuan, whom Lian Yun was holding. Gratitude filled her heart, but she struggled to express her current feelings adequately.
"Well, I've made up my mind. In this life, I will be with Dream Sister."
With that, Xi Men Yu Ying provocatively lifted her chin towards Lian Yun, a stark contrast to her previously pure demeanor. Lian Yun felt at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.
Once Xi Men Yu Ying had made her decision, she no longer lingered on the matter and softly said, "Young Master Yun, please bring Dream Sister with you."
The group had already taken to the skies.
Lian Yun was somewhat confused by this turn of events, but seeing her still holding two balls of white flames in her hands, he guessed that it might be to improve Meng Yixuan's constitution or perhaps elevate her realm. Naturally, Lian Yun did not dare to delay. He nodded at Lin Jin and quickly followed behind Xi Men Yu Ying.
They arrived at the Fragrant Pavilion in Luoyang City, which was also the place where Lian Yun and she had first met.
In a parlor, Xi Men Yu Ying grasped one of the white flames with one hand and shaped it into a white orb before handing it to Lian Yun. "Young Master Yun, take this once the so-called Three Golden Hairs return. It’s best to consume it in a secluded place. For now, please guard Dream Sister outside."
Perhaps Xi Men Yu Ying had previously been indifferent to Lian Yun seeing her body, but now she would not allow him to see Meng Yixuan's body. Lian Yun had no objections; he took the white orb and stood by the door.
Xi Men Yu Ying then assisted Meng Yixuan into the parlor.
Before long, sounds of Meng Yixuan's pain and soft gasps filled the room, accompanied by Xi Men Yu Ying's soothing words. It wasn't until two hours later that silence fell within the room. After nearly another two hours, the door finally opened.
Xi Men Yu Ying was still enveloped in flames, while Meng Yixuan appeared refreshed, her skin like fine jade and looking several years younger—like a blossoming maiden of eighteen.
What caught Lian Yun's attention most was that Meng Yixuan had gone from being less than a king to directly reaching the high-level Emperor Realm. This improvement was simply beyond reason and astonishing.
However, Lian Yun frowned slightly.
"Sister, can you control your newfound power?"
As expected, Meng Yixuan shook her head. "I'm afraid I won't be able to play the piano for some time. But I will take some time to recuperate at Azure Pavilion. This time, for sister Yuying, my spirit has been severely drained."
"Thank you, sister!"
"What are you thanking me for? Since you don't mind calling me sister, I will do my best to help you within my capabilities. Besides, you have now allowed me to become the High Emperor."
With that, Lian Yun nodded and chose not to say more. Originally, Meng Yixuan needed to quickly master her own powers, and combat was the best way to do so. However, Lian Yun knew that she did not enjoy fighting. Therefore, taking some time to rest and gradually familiarize herself with her abilities was also a way to avoid unnecessary risks.
"Um~~ Young Master Yun, remember to craft a Half-Emperor Set for me. I need it for my outfits now."
Looking at Xi Men Yu Ying's currently unparalleled and pure visage, and hearing her say such things, Lian Yun felt a surge of frustration.
Meanwhile, after the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird soared into the skies above Huaxia, they settled in the East and South. At the same time, a massive white tiger appeared in the West, while a giant black tortoise emerged in the North.
Roar~~~ Screech~~~ Growl~~~ Hiss~~~
The roars of the beasts echoed throughout Huaxia, and then the Four Great Sacred Beasts slowly merged into the earth.
In the next moment, everyone in Huaxia heard the voice of the System: "All war civilians can increase their power limit to fifty stones."
Fifty stones essentially equated to five thousand pounds of strength, which was more powerful than some ordinary monarchs. However, for Monarchs themselves, there were still significant restrictions.
Nevertheless, with such an increase in power, many more things could be accomplished.
After Clone Swallow arrived in Huaxia, he transformed into a native form. He was aware of the return of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird and planned to return to Yin Yang City. Thus, he had summoned many ministers from Cloud Nation in advance.
Zhou Tong, Jiang Ao, Han Huang, and others had just gathered in the conference hall when they heard the announcement from the earth. Although they were surprised by it, they did not show any significant shock; instead, they all looked at Lian Yun.
They guessed that Lian Yun might have received news in advance; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so anxious without any warning.
In response, Yan simply nodded and said, "The earth will restore itself to a state similar to ancient Huaxia. You all need to prepare appropriate countermeasures."
"The main purpose of gathering you all this time is that my body needs to return to Yin Yang City to merge with my true self, which will take some time to come back. Therefore, from now on, everything in Cloud Nation will be based on Zhou Tong, Jiang Ao, and Han Huang."
"Finally, although the usable power has been raised to fifty stones, which provides us with considerable convenience, we are not the country that benefits the most."
"Is the Lord's Evil Spirit from Wei Kingdom?" Han Huang asked, his expression serious.
It must be understood that the power available to everyone has increased from five stones to fifty stones. If this is considered a tenfold increase, then for the Evil Spirits, their abilities have undoubtedly increased by more than ten times, even several dozens of times.
This means that Wei Kingdom's combat power has increased significantly. With the land recovering and food being sufficient, Wei Kingdom will surely be the first to instigate wars between nations.
The chaos in Huaxia has become a foregone conclusion.
Lian Yun nodded and said, "As long as you know! Additionally, I can be the leader of a nation but will not establish a feudal court. After all, feudal society is outdated; we can only move forward and should not regress, right? So you will handle the affairs of the nation yourselves. My complete departure this time is also a significant test for you."
With that, Lian Yun stepped down from the high seat and walked directly to Zhou Tong's side, solemnly patting him on the shoulder.
To be honest, Zhou Tong had always wanted Lian Yun to ascend to the throne while he himself would be known as a founding hero. However, Lian Yun was indifferent to the throne but hoped that Zhou Tong could fulfill his wishes.
Thus, Lian Yun let go of power and gave Zhou Tong the opportunity to reunite Huaxia. But in the future, a unified Huaxia would no longer be a court but a democratic nation.
Zhou Tong struggled internally with this notion; he lowered his head in silence, realizing he had not reacted after Lian Yun left.
The remaining matters were handled by Han Huang and Jiang Ao.
Once the meeting concluded and the other ministers left one after another, Han Huang and Jiang Ao approached Zhou Tong.
Jiang Ao nodded slightly and said, "Zhou Tong should actually feel fortunate. This is truly the Cloud Emperor's wholehearted trust; otherwise, how could we have such great authority? This authority is precisely our opportunity to showcase our capabilities."
"As long as we can reunite Huaxia again, even if we do not establish a court, it will still mark a new era for Huaxia. The Cloud Emperor will be the pioneer of this era, and we will be its heroes. The essence remains unchanged; I hope Zhou Tong can adjust his mindset as soon as possible."
However, this was merely a mindset issue for Zhou Tong.
...
With the power of fifty stones, Yan's mobility in the Land of Huaxia naturally surged, and within a day, he boarded the train to Yin Yang City.
However, upon arriving at the new novice village, Yan did not immediately head to Xianyang City. Instead, he completed the Beginner Quest and hunted Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts outside the novice village, earning a substantial amount of Diamond Spirit Coins in one go.
At the same time, both the city and Lian Yun's main body received numerous Sovereign Quests to hunt Chaos Beasts outside the city. Leze began collecting a large quantity of Mental Potions in Yin City. He also notified Chiyou and others to prepare a significant amount of Supreme Soul Coins.
On the third day, Lian Yun visited the imperial city and went to Emperor Yi's residence.
It seemed that Emperor Yi had long anticipated Lian Yun's arrival. He greeted Lian Yun with a smile as he entered. Without needing Lian Yun to ask, once he sat down, Emperor Yi said, "Regarding the Ancient Legend, we do not know much. However, the name of the Four Great Sacred Beasts has been passed down among our people because they truly exist and have been protecting the Land of Huaxia, subtly influencing our people's will."
"So how much of the ancient tales are true? We cannot confirm that either. However, we can be certain that our human race possesses infinite potential; those who are strong can indeed shoot an arrow to the sun."
"Perhaps, in the Primordial Era, our current Solar System was merely a piece of land. After battles fought by ancient powers, the primordial land was destroyed, forming the planets we see today. The Earth we inhabit now is just a tiny fragment of what was once that primordial land."
Emperor Yi's words came to an end. For Lian Yun, these statements were utterly baffling yet somehow made sense, especially since the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird had recently appeared before him.
Some things were simply beyond understanding. After a long silence, Lian Yun asked, "May I ask what lies beyond, Senior Emperor Yi?"
