Ming Zhitian nodded. This was also what he wanted to do. He was too weak now, and could not guarantee the safety of his loved ones.
"I promise you, Divine Venerable. This is our agreement."
Mo Li Divine Venerable liked his character very much. The two hit it off immediately. "From now on, little fellow, you can call me Mo Li."
Ming Zhitian was slightly taken aback. "I still... I'm not used to it yet." After all, the person before him was a Divine Power user.
Mo Li Divine Venerable waved his hand. "A master should act like a master. From now on, you'll get used to it slowly. Although I'm a magic cultivator, my attainment is incomparable. I have my ways to help you break through your cultivation quickly."
This meant that from now on, Mo Li Divine Venerable would condescend to Ming Zhitian and be willing to be his servant. Seeing that he referred to himself as "I" instead of "this venerable," Ming Zhitian readily accepted.
"Alright, Mo Li, let's return to the Divine Sect now."
Mo Li Divine Venerable nodded. "This venerable... I also want to see the Divine Sect that the Martial Saint once made glorious."
After the two bid farewell to the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhanming, and the ancestor Yuan Qilong, Yuan Bilong repeatedly asked them to stay for a few more days. However, Ming Zhitian was worried about his family, and the Yuan family could not force them to stay. They then personally escorted the two away.
Ming Zhitian said, "I want to go home quickly."
The next second, with just a thought from Mo Li Divine Venerable, they were instantly at the Divine Sect.
Sensing an intruder, the gears and mechanisms quickly whirred to life. Ming Zhitian quickly made a gesture. "Dispel."
The traps, mechanisms, and various moving contraptions stopped. Mo Li Divine Venerable then slowly lowered the hand he was about to use to cast a spell.
"Little fellow, you are very good."
Ming Zhitian smiled faintly. "Thank you for the compliment."
Knowing that someone had broken in but the mechanisms had stopped, the women were confused and stepped out one by one. They saw Ming Zhitian standing before them, looking heroic and smiling at them.
"Husband!" Yan Lixue was the first to run over and throw herself into his arms.
"Husband! I missed you so much." Ouyang Nifeng also rushed over and hugged Ming Zhitian tightly, standing next to Yan Lixue.
Ming Zhitian put his arms around their waists and then looked at Yan Fei, Jie Qingxia, and the others. "Xue'er wife, Feng'er, I missed you too."
Yan Lixue then looked at the unfamiliar face beside him. "Husband, who is this?"
Ming Zhitian explained, "This is Mo Li Divine Venerable, a Divine Power user with cultivation in the Divine Might realm. His abilities are incredibly powerful, and he is my top fighter."
Ouyang Nifeng was confused. "What is a Divine Power user? And what realm is the Divine Might realm?"
The other women also looked bewildered. Ming Zhitian said, "The Divine Might realm is a realm above the Divine Luo realm. As for Divine Power users, I will explain it to you later. Knowing too much is not good."
Bai Liuli stepped forward. "Zhitian, someone has been waiting for you."
Ming Zhitian nodded. "Where?"
"In the hall."
...
Divine Emperor Holy Land Sect—
The Nuwa Stone collected by the Star Empress was somehow in the hands of Emperor Piaoyan. That was the only token Ming Zhitian had given her. The Pangu Stone was with Ming Zhitian, and the Nuwa Stone was here.
Emperor Piaoyan toyed with the translucent green Nuwa Stone. "Chen'er, is this stone yours?"
Empress Xingchen said indifferently, "Yes, husband. Did you call me here just for this Nuwa Stone?"
Emperor Piaoyan spun the Nuwa Stone and looked at it. "Perhaps. Do you think it's important to you?"
Empress Xingchen, answering a question with a question, said, "If you think it's important, then it's important. If you think it's not important, then it's not important."
