This time, he had no choice.

After being anxious, he let go of his worries.

In the dark, the power of destiny pushed him forward, and he followed the force of fate by drawing his sword and slaying demons, that’s all.

Three days later.

The rewards were handed out to everyone. Zhao Ruida received 1,700 mid-grade spirit stones, while Shi Lengyan received 1,100 mid-grade spirit stones. The two were overjoyed. The earnings from this trip were huge, considering the price of a top-grade spiritual weapon ranged between 1,000 and 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones. The harvest from this trip was the same as their previous net worth.

The dangers were real, but the immortal affinity was also real.

The Stars Sea had given them so much.

As for Han Yi’s reward, it was 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones, a top-grade spiritual weapon, and a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The reward was incredibly generous. Even Han Yi was stunned by the amount given.

It was only then that he understood the rewards that Zhuge Wu You had mentioned were indeed generous, even beyond the imagination of qi cultivators.

The other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators also received various rewards, and even Zhuge Wu You got a bountiful harvest.

“This is the heritage of the sacred land,” Zhuge Wu You exclaimed.

There was no closing ceremony for the Mountain and Sea Gathering of Immortals. After receiving the rewards, everyone left the Stars Sea by boarding Zhuge Wu You’s Immortal Boat on the same day.

Flying out a dozen miles, everyone looked back at the huge island floating in the Eastern Sea that was so massive that one could not see the boundaries at a glance. The shock they felt when they left, combined with the grand event and rewards they had just experienced, was even greater than before.

“This is the sacred land of the Stars Sea, a place older than Yujing Mountain that can be traced back to the era of ancient evil turmoil. It is truly awe-inspiring,” Master Fire Phoenix gazed at the vanishing Stars Sea with many emotions in her eyes.

Han Yi also stood on the Immortal Boat, looking at the Stars Sea.

Although the journey was not short and he had spent most of his time practicing, the total time spent outside was less than a month.

Even in such a short time, he had experienced many things and taken another step up in terms of experience, truly witnessing the heritage of the sacred land.

Immortal Island, Daoist Monarch, Performing Magic, Slaying Demons, Xue He, Slaying Demons, True Monarch, Rankings, Rewards…

Han Yi retracted his gaze, sitting in the Immortal Boat and began to process the gains from this trip and plan for the future.

This time, his name appeared on the Demon Slaying List, ranking fourth among the Qi Cultivation Stage, and although it seemed like there were no problems apart from the joy of the Xuandan Sect members, Han Yi did not forget that the twenty-year period was approaching and the conflict between the Blood God Sect and the Xuandan Sect might restart.

No matter before or after the conflict restarted, the Xuandan Sect would definitely not ignore his existence after knowing about it.

Blatant robbery and hidden attacks would surely follow.

The return journey took longer than the trip there. Zhuge Wu You took a different path from the previous one. The Immortal Boat passed the Daqian Immortal City, mountains, and rivers along the way.

Two months later, when they saw the Xuandan Mountain Range in sight, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

This time, there was no ceremony as well. The Immortal Boat landed on Xuandan Peak, and Yuan Shun personally greeted them at the entrance of the Great Hall.

Obviously, he had already known the results of the demon-slaying. His eyes were fixed on Han Yi.

“You really gave me a big surprise, Han Yi.”

Yuan Shun’s gaze made Han Yi shudder. He wished Yuan Shun would forget about him and not think of involving him in any matter.

Although the Blood God Sect knew about his existence, as long as he didn’t leave the sect and go downhill, all open and hidden attacks would have nowhere to hide.

Actually, this was also Han Yi’s plan.

Yuan Shun’s gaze then fell on Zhuge Wu You. Their eyes met, and their minds communicated without anyone else, including the Foundation Establishment Elders, knowing what they discussed. It must have been a secret matter.

Afterward, Yuan Shun encouraged everyone before dismissing them.

Only Han Yi was asked to stay.

“Han Yi, I know you’ve always been low-key. This time, you killed the demon cultivator, and I believe you must have been forced to do it.”

“As you think, the days to come will be anything but peaceful.”

“Therefore, I can promise that for the next four years, you can devote yourself to cultivating without anyone disturbing you.”

“Moreover, if you need resources for your cultivation, the sect can accommodate you to a certain extent.”

Yuan Shun’s words brightened Han Yi’s eyes.

Whether resources were provided or not was not the key point for him at the moment.

What mattered most was Yuan Shun’s promise not to disturb him.

That was what he wanted.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for your generosity.” Han Yi was overjoyed.

However, Yuan Shun’s next words made Han Yi’s face stiff.

“But in four years, conflicts between the two sects will inevitably arise again, and by then, you must help.” Yuan Shun’s face was calm, but there was an illusory glimmer in his eyes.

It was not a fighting spirit, but some illusion that Han Yi couldn’t understand.

Four years was neither long nor short, and there was no telling what would happen by then. Han Yi could only agree for now.

“Also, here is a second-stage high-grade array method that can block a full-strength attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It should help you feel more at ease in your cultivation..”
