Liu Guanfeng also shared a big hug with his father. The two of them didn't need many words; this embrace was enough to prove everything.
Nangong Rong, after wiping away her tears, immediately noticed a rather reserved girl standing next to Liu Guanfeng. Seeing her constantly looking at Liu Guanfeng, Nangong Rong knew there must be something between them.
Nangong Rong walked up to Zhang Yuru, who shyly greeted her, "Hello, Aunt."
Nangong Rong smiled through her tears, taking Zhang Yuru's hand and saying, "Good, good. Oh, you really are very beautiful."
Upon hearing Nangong Rong compliment her beauty, Zhang Yuru's face turned bright red. She lowered her head and continued to stand beside Liu Guanfeng. At that moment, Li Xiaohan also spotted Zhang Yuru. Earlier, she had only had eyes for Liu Guanfeng, but upon hearing her future mother-in-law speak, she glanced over at Liu Guanfeng. When she saw such a beautiful girl standing next to him, she turned to look at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng felt the most guilty towards Li Xiaohan after going out to cultivate. He hadn't even married her yet and had found someone else outside. Liu Guanfeng awkwardly glanced at Li Xiaohan, who responded with a playful tongue-out expression.
Li Xiaohan pushed Liu Guanfeng aside and stood with Nangong Rong in front of Zhang Yuru. They took hold of her other hand and began to admire Zhang Yuru together, nodding and praising her.
Seeing Li Xiaohan's open-mindedness eased Liu Guanfeng's heart.
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng stepped forward to the Four Sacred Beasts and knelt down on both knees. "Disciple pays respects to the Four Masters. After three years of hard work, Disciple has also gained experience and has successfully advanced to Divine Knight."
The Azure Dragon still looked like an immortal as he nodded at his disciple. "Not bad. You haven't wasted your cultivation over the years. Although you've brought back another girl, it's always good to improve your strength."
Just then, another person approached and knelt down in front of the White Tiger, hugging its legs and starting to cry out, "Master, you have made Disciple suffer so much."
The newcomer was none other than Cui Zhongyi, who had returned with Liu Guanfeng. The White Tiger looked at Cui Zhongyi and said, "You've grown quite a bit as well; you'll soon break through to Divine Knight."
Cui Zhongyi wiped away his tears and said, "This is all thanks to my master and fellow disciples."
"Since you've found me, I'll help you once more to achieve your dream. Just follow me later," he replied.
Cui Zhongyi immediately bowed to the White Tiger and said, "Thank you, Master."
It was only when the Azure Dragon spoke that everyone stopped. They all returned to the Four Sacred Valleys. Upon arriving at the Four Sacred Valleys, Liu Guanfeng first took a proper bath before heading to his parents' room to catch up.
In his parents' room, Liu Guanfeng recounted everything that had happened over the past three years. When Nangong Rong heard how close Liu Guanfeng had come to death, she nearly cried. However, upon learning that her son had received a reward from Pangu the Great, she felt much more at ease.
Hearing about the hardships her son had endured, Nangong Rong couldn't help but touch Liu Guanfeng, who had grown much taller than her. Meanwhile, Cui Zhongyi kept nodding his head and occasionally said, "That's right; this is what my Liu Family's son should be like."
In another room, the Four Sacred Beasts were discussing matters. The four of them sat together, and the Azure Dragon spoke first: "Our time as brothers is running short. Is that thing ready?"
The Vermilion Bird nodded and replied, "It has been prepared."
"My part is also ready; we are just waiting for him," added the Black Tortoise.
The Azure Dragon nodded in agreement. "That's good; this will be the last thing we can do for him."
The Four Sacred Beasts clearly felt a sense of sadness. The Vermilion Bird sighed and said, "I really wish we could go back and take a look. Although this place is beautiful, it just doesn't feel like home."
The other three nodded in agreement. "I heard that the little guy has found something overseas that can help him return."
The Azure Dragon's words brightened the eyes of the other three: "Azure Dragon, are you serious? Do we really have hope of going back?"
The Azure Dragon nodded, "Actually, I have always felt that there should be a familiar deity here. So there is still hope for us to return home."
"But we can't see our hometown anymore," the Vermilion Bird said sadly.
"Even if we can bring our ashes back, that's still good. I'm just afraid we won't be able to bring them back," the White Tiger shook his head.
"Don't worry, as long as Xiaofeng can find a way home, we will definitely be able to return. I believe Xiaofeng is a trustworthy person."
Azure Dragon's words resonated with everyone again, and the other three saints nodded in agreement. "He has been with us for so many years; everyone knows what kind of person he is. I trust him to take my ashes back. Although it will only be ashes by then, it will still mean we are going home," said the Black Tortoise while touching his bald head.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since we have prepared everything we need, the rest is up to him. Let him rest for three days first, and then let him go in."
After Liu Guanfeng finished reminiscing with his parents, he went to each master's room. By the time he came out, it was already dinner time. Tonight's dinner was particularly lavish, prepared by Li Xiaohan, Wang Jiao, and Nangong Rong together. Zhang Yuru also wanted to help but didn't know how to do anything.
Fortunately, she was very eager to learn. Although she was still quite clumsy, she could already manage some simple tasks.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Guanfeng had been home for three days. During these three days, he practiced his routine every day, while Zhang Yuru received direct guidance from the White Tiger and made significant progress in her martial arts skills.
That morning, after finishing his morning exercises, Azure Dragon called Liu Guanfeng into his room. When Liu Guanfeng entered, the other three masters were also present.
After greeting the Four Masters, Liu Guanfeng stood before them. Azure Dragon still looked like an immortal being, smiling at Liu Guanfeng: "Xiaofeng, I know you have had a hard time outside these three years, but fortunately you have achieved something in your studies. As of now, there is nothing more we can teach you. We four have prepared a Demon Tomb for you. In this Demon Tomb, your strength will be suppressed to the level of a low-level Advanced Knight, and there are numerous magical beasts inside, ranging from low to high levels.
The Demon Tomb is divided into five layers; the first layer contains Fourth Rank magical beasts and so on up to the fifth layer which contains Eighth Rank magical beasts. Each layer will have one or two Mutated Beasts. In the cave at the center of the five inner layers, there are gifts carefully prepared for you by your Xuanwu Master and Vermilion Bird Master along with special gifts from all four of us. This gift was originally meant to help you break through to Divine Knight; however, since you succeeded on your own upon returning, it will still be useful for your descendants."
Liu Guanfeng knelt on both knees: "Disciple thanks Mentor."
"Get up first, and let the four of us take a good look at you," said Zhuque. Liu Guanfeng slowly stood up, thinking to himself: Why does Master sound strange today? However, he didn't dwell on it too much; after all, the Four Sacred Beasts are gods and possess immortal bodies.
"Alright, Xiaofeng, you go back and prepare. We'll head to the Demon Tomb after lunch. Remember to bring some dry rations; once you enter the Demon Tomb, you won't be able to come out for a while."
"Disciple takes leave." Liu Guanfeng turned and left the room.
Back in his own room, Liu Guanfeng prepared his belongings. In fact, he didn't need to prepare much since his Cosmic Bag still contained a large number of items; these things would last him for a year and a half without much issue.
When Liu Guanfeng learned that he would be going out for training in the afternoon, Li Xiaohan and Zhang Yuru both came to his room. Looking at the two girls, Liu Guanfeng felt indescribable emotions—one was dignified and graceful, while the other was lively and beautiful; he truly felt fortunate in this life.
The three of them sat in Liu Guanfeng's room throughout the morning, speaking very little. They were afraid that talking too much would distract him, especially since this time it was the Four Sacred Beasts personally preparing the training for Liu Guanfeng; they couldn't afford any mistakes.
After lunch, the Four Sacred Beasts took Liu Guanfeng and left the Four Sacred Valleys. However, the Demon Tomb was still located on the Four Sacred Islands. The magical beasts on the Four Sacred Islands' Dongshan were responsible for guarding the Demon Tomb, specifically under the supervision of Master of the Eastern Mountain, the Three-Headed Chimera.
Upon arriving at Dongshan, Chimera led them to a secluded area. On the way to the Demon Tomb, there were over a thousand magical beasts standing on either side in both light and shadow, indicating their high regard for this Demon Tomb.
Finally, Chimera brought Liu Guanfeng and the Four Sacred Beasts to a massive rock. Qinglong looked at the rock and said to Liu Guanfeng, "Xiaofeng, this is the entrance to the Demon Tomb. Each of its five levels has a door leading outside; as for where people inside are located, that depends on those controlling it from outside. I will now teach you how to use this entrance and exit of the Demon Tomb; how you choose to use it is up to you. This is also our last gift to you."
Liu Guanfeng was taken aback; if he could truly make good use of this Demon Tomb, there would be unexpected gains in the future. If it really worked out, using the magical beasts here for training would yield remarkable results.
"The time inside this Demon Tomb passes faster than outside; five days inside equals one day outside. Do you understand this function?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded vigorously: "Disciple understands."
"Good, now you can enter. When you come out, Chimera will naturally bring you back to the Four Sacred Valleys."
Liu Guanfeng turned around and deeply bowed to the Four Sacred Beasts, saying, "Masters, take care. I will go in now."
"Go ahead and be careful inside," the Azure Dragon waved his hand at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng turned back and began to chant a spell. He saw ripples appear on the giant Big Rock in front of him. Then, Liu Guanfeng pressed both hands against the Stone, and his hands sank into the rock. Following that, he took a step forward and felt a blur before him. When Liu Guanfeng could see clearly again, he was stunned.
What appeared before him was a dense thicket of grass, with some of the grass reaching half his height. Liu Guanfeng looked back and saw a barrier behind him that was taller than a person. The surface of the barrier shimmered with Water Pattern, which shook a few times before gradually disappearing, along with the visible barrier.
This proved that the entrance to the Demon Tomb had closed at this moment. Liu Guanfeng did not dare to delay and quickly took out his Twin Iron Halberds from the Cosmic Bag.
Meanwhile, outside, the Four Sacred Beasts exchanged glances, and the Azure Dragon said, "Let's go back; we can't help him here."
Thus, Chimera led the Four Sacred Beasts away from the Demon Tomb. They returned directly to the Four Sacred Valleys and reported to Liu Yong'an and Nangong Rong that Liu Guanfeng had safely entered the Demon Tomb before each returned to their own rooms.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng held one iron halberd protectively in front of his chest while using the other to push aside the weeds in front of him as he cautiously advanced.
Just as Liu Guanfeng was carefully moving forward, a green object suddenly flew toward him from the front. Liu Guanfeng focused his gaze and realized it was a fist-sized Iron Arm Mantis. When it was newly born, it was only a third-tier magical beast, but an adult Iron Arm Mantis could reach Fourth Rank.
Although Liu Guanfeng's strength was suppressed, his vision and reflexes were not affected. Even though the Iron Arm Mantis flew quickly, it failed to ambush Liu Guanfeng. He dodged to the right, causing the Iron Arm Mantis to fly past him. Just as it passed by, Liu Guanfeng swung his iron halberd down with his right hand, instantly killing the Iron Arm Mantis.
