Chapter 611: Chapter 493: The Last Retreat, Complete Quasi-Sage_2

However, after speaking, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun laughed at himself and said, "It seems somewhat inappropriate to hinge the safety of the Three Realms on you alone, as achieving saintliness is inherently full of hardships, and becoming a Two-Step Saint is even more difficult."

"Thirty years, take it one step at a time!"

"Wang Yang will certainly give it his all!"

Wang Yang’s expression was serious as he clasped his fists and spoke to Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

Not to mention anything else, this attitude was still very good.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun nodded and left the place with Wang Yang.

After all, this place was the Origin Land, and it was not suitable to stay long, lest the location of the Three Realms’ Origin Land be exposed.

They traveled through the Chaos again, but this time the speed was noticeably faster; after all, Wang Yang’s current speed was no less than that of a Saint.

Upon reaching Beyond the Heavens, he let Wang Yang return to Golden Turtle Island on his own while Daoist Ancestor Hongjun himself returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, there was a Daoist Jieyin who was waiting.

When Daoist Ancestor Hongjun returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, Jieyin approached him immediately.

For some unknown reason, Jieyin felt that Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, who had just returned from a trip, looked unusually upset.

Jieyin did not dare to ask, only waiting quietly by the side for Daoist Ancestor Hongjun to speak.

"You need not worry about the affairs of the Three Realms anymore, stabilizing your cultivation and only bringing back the Primordial Spirit causes certain damage to your true body."

"Go heal yourself first, it won’t be long before the others return."

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, signaling Jieyin to leave first.

As for himself, he sat alone inside the Purple Cloud Palace, staring into the Void outside the Chaos, lost in his thoughts.

Unlike Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, Wang Yang, who had left the Chaos, didn’t think twice and directly headed for Golden Turtle Island.

Golden Turtle Island had just recovered from a great battle that had occurred days before, and everyone was brimming with resolve, diligently cultivating.

Even those at the Pinnacle of Great Luo were straining in their cultivation, striving to advance to the Complete Quasi-Sage stage to contribute their strength to the Three Realms.

It must be said, the emergence of the Demon Clan and Wang Yang’s gathering of the Great Luo pinnacle had portrayed an unprecedented strong unity within the Three Realms.

One could say that every member of the Three Realms yearned for its better development.

Places like Haotian Yaochi were exceptionally rare.

As soon as Wang Yang appeared above Golden Turtle Island, six powerful quasi-saint auras surged to the sky, enveloping Wang Yang.

"Dark Cloud Immortal, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Phoenix, Guanyin, Shennong. Long time no see, I hope all is well!"

Wang Yang greeted everyone with a smile.

Upon hearing Wang Yang speak, everyone realized that it wasn’t an enemy, but their long-lost friend, Wang Yang.

"Daoist Wang Yang!"

Golden Spirit Holy Mother cried out in surprise, treating Wang Yang’s arrival as if finding a pillar of strength.

Not just her, the others felt the same, since from the time of the Demon Clan’s invasion, many miracles had already occurred at Wang Yang’s hands.

The crowd was willing to follow Wang Yang’s lead, so seeing him naturally excited them.

"Fellow Daoists, discussing here might be inconvenient, shall we go inside and continue?"

Wang Yang clasped his fists toward the crowd.

"Alright, alright, let’s go, I’ll go inform the Honorable Master!"

Dark Cloud Immortal was the first to descend from the clouds, returning to Golden Turtle Island.

The others also gathered around Wang Yang, escorting him back to Golden Turtle Island.

At this moment, Wang Yang resembled an emperor who had returned from inspecting his lands, being welcomed at the city gates by a host of officials.

It was truly a majestic sight.

However, among them, only Phoenix seriously looked at Wang Yang, feeling that Wang Yang, though recently seen, had changed drastically compared to before.

Although Wang Yang was nearly within reach, there still was a sense of ungraspable mystery.

But thinking that Wang Yang had left to become stronger and now returned having advanced further, such a feeling wasn’t so strange after all.

Escorted by the group, Wang Yang stepped onto Golden Turtle Island once more, having learned from Daoist Ancestor Hongjun about the major events that had taken place in the Three Realms these past days, which made him feel deeply as he set foot on the island.

"Daoist Wang Yang, the Honorable Master and the others are waiting for you at Biyou Palace,"

Dark Cloud Immortal, who had gone ahead to report, came back and said.

Wang Yang nodded and followed them to Biyou Palace.

In Biyou Palace, Wang Yang met all the current quasi-sages of the Three Realms, and the principal seat in the palace was still reserved for him at that moment.

"I am Daoist Wang Yang. Greetings to all fellow Daoists."

Standing at the entrance of Biyou Palace, Wang Yang felt as if he were seeing everyone through the mist of another era.

It wasn’t just Wang Yang; the Leader of the Tongtian Sect showed a face full of gratification, and Xuanzang and others also looked at Wang Yang, feeling as though they, too, were experiencing a feeling of separation by time.

At that moment, everyone said in unison, "Daoist Wang Yang, please come in."

"Hahaha!"

Wang Yang did not hesitate, and directly took his seat at the head of the table.

This was his rightful place, and he was the only one who could sit there.

Therefore, taking his seat, he did so with a sense of rightful ease.

Of course, this seat formerly belonged to the Leader of the Tongtian Sect, but now it had changed hands.

"Fellow Daoists, these days without me, you all have suffered," he said.

Sitting in his position, Wang Yang’s voice rang like a great bell, resounding throughout the entire hall.

"But I also thank you all for the contributions you have made to the Three Realms, which have kept the Demon Clan silent."

Wang Yang continued, "It is all because of you that the Three Realms are able to remain stable."

"We dare not claim such credit!" the crowd responded ceremoniously, as if they were officials entering the court, while the emperor naturally was Wang Yang, seated in the principal seat.

Especially Yuanshi celestial Venerate, who now looked at Wang Yang with a sense of profound inscrutability.

This feeling also left him feeling somewhat helpless.

However, thinking of Saint Taiqing, who had changed his attitude, and Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, who had always favored Wang Yang,

Yuanshi celestial Venerate felt that his own perspectives were too narrow. That was why, despite his long pursuit of sect’s fate, he often experienced the opposite of his intentions.

"Wang Yang, now that the Demon Race Sages have vanished without a trace, what should be our next step?" Leader of the Tongtian Sect asked as he looked at Wang Yang.

In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Wang Yang, as if they were accustomed to having him make the decisions.

"Do any of you know the possible hideouts of the Demon Race Sages?" Wang Yang asked in response.

After all, he had not participated in the recent great battle, so he was clueless about the matters concerning the Demon Clan.

But now that he was back, he naturally wanted to address the existing troubles.

"Only a rough location, perhaps somewhere in Western Cow Hezhou, but nowadays, no trace of demonic Qi can be detected in Western Cow Hezhou!"

The South Pole Elderly Immortal spoke first; since Western Cow Hezhou had been entrusted to the Expounding Teachings Sect as a dojo, they had certainly scrutinized it closely, but the efforts had been fruitless.

"Western Cow Hezhou! I understand. Leave the matter of the Demon Clan remnants to me. As for all of you, the urgent priority now is to train the Pinnacle of Great Luo in the Three Realms."

"Even now, all of you at the pinnacle of Quasi-Sages should also strive to Achieve the Saint Fruit Position!"

"After all, given the current war between the Demon Clan and the Three Realms, the Pinnacle of Great Luo is no longer sufficient, only Quasi-Sages are qualified."

"If you do not wish to hinder the Three Realms, please put in more effort!" Wang Yang spoke bluntly, regardless of whether his words sounded harsh.

Some things are better addressed harshly now than never heard later.

"We will adhere to the Order of Law."

The Complete Quasi-Sages did not feel any dissatisfaction with Wang Yang’s demeanor; instead, they took it very seriously.

Seeing everyone’s attitude, Wang Yang also felt much gratified.

"Bring those in the Three Realms who have a chance to sprint to Quasi-Sages from the pinnacle of Great Luo. It is time for the Three Realms to see more Quasi-Sages."

Wang Yang did not rush to Western Cow Hezhou to search for the Demon Clan, but instead focused on strengthening his own power.

Once he became stronger, he could naturally deal with the Demon Clan more easily.

Although it was not easy for those at the Pinnacle of Great Luo to Achieve Sage status, for Wang Yang, who had completely understood all Fifty Great Dao, it was not too difficult.

"Wang Yang, what is your current strength?" Leader of the Tongtian Sect asked Wang Yang inside Biyou Palace while instructing Fuxi to bring those with a chance of breaking through from the Pinnacle of Great Luo.

"Reporting back to my senior, I am now at the Complete Quasi-Sage Realm! This realm was specially established for me by Daoist Ancestor Hongjun with his approval," Wang Yang replied without concealing, releasing his power for everyone to see.

In just a moment, the atmosphere inside the Biyou Palace was filled with the essence of The Great Dao, giving even these Quasi-Sages a sense of advancement. This divine anomaly increased their respect for Wang Yang!
