"Ding! Congratulations to host. The system has issued a main quest. Host, please head to the Holy Dragon Court and rescue Huangfu Lan. Success will reward you with three lottery chances!"
Ye Qing's body trembled when he heard the system notification. His eyes shone with a cold light.
In reality, he had long wanted to go to the Holy Dragon Court to take revenge on the Holy Dragon Emperor and rescue Huangfu Lan.
However, Ye Qing's strength was far from the Holy Dragon Emperor's. Rescuing Huangfu Lan from the Holy Dragon Court was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
At least, Ye Qing's current cultivation was still too weak. It was impossible for him to defeat the Holy Dragon Emperor.
He could only do his best to increase his battle strength. In reality, even without the system's main quest, Ye Qing still had to go to the Holy Dragon Court and rescue Huangfu Lan.
However, now was clearly not the time. Ye Qing's mind raced as he prepared to ask Hua Ruoying for help.
The leader of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Hua Ruoying, had a high cultivation and great strength. She was also Ye Qing's wife. If Ye Qing had any requests, she definitely wouldn't refuse.
In addition, if the Flower God's Seed was in Hua Ruoying's hands, it would be even more powerful.
Ye Qing could also borrow the strength of the Hundred Flowers Palace to help him go to the Holy Dragon Court.
In the Levitation Heavenly Palace, Ye Qing made some arrangements and prepared to go to the Holy Dragon Court alone.
The brothers of the Army of Cheats and Ye Qing's wives weren't suitable to follow Ye Qing.
The Holy Dragon Court was too dangerous. If they followed Ye Qing, Ye Qing wouldn't be able to guarantee their safety.
The Eternal Pagoda's Time Realm could accommodate some of his brothers. However, only Heaven Martial Realm experts could adapt to the rapid changes in the flow of time.
If the Holy Emperor entered the Time Realm, he probably wouldn't be able to adapt to the changes in time. There were no benefits in the Eternal Pagoda.
The Army of Cheats's Heaven Martial Realm Grass Mud Horse, Skeleton King, Ah Kun, and Big Bug were arranged by Ye Qing to stay on the second floor of the Eternal Pagoda to increase their cultivation speed.
As for the other brothers, they stayed in the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
Before Ye Qing left, he greeted Primordial Chaos and Nangong Hongchen and asked them to take care of his brothers in the Army of Cheats, especially his wives.
Cultivating in the Levitation Heavenly Palace was a great opportunity for them to improve their strength. Besides, the presence of Primordial Chaos Elder and Nangong Hongchen was enough to ensure their safety.
After Ye Qing finished his arrangements in the Heaven's Ascension Palace, he bid farewell to his brothers and wives and set off on his journey.
The second floor of the Eternal Pagoda was originally able to hold many brothers, but it had the effect of changing the flow of time. If one wasn't in the Heaven realm, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
In Ye Qing's heart, he really hoped that his brothers could quickly mature. As long as they could reach the Heaven Realm, it would be much safer for them to cultivate in the Eternal Pagoda.
As long as Ye Qing didn't die and the Eternal Tower wasn't discovered, Ye Qing's family and brothers would be safe and sound.
Flapping his black Soaring Cloud Wings, Ye Qing's figure flickered in the sky as he left the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
After a while, Ye Qing entered the chaotic streams of space. He wanted to take a trip to the Human World.
He wasn't in a hurry to go to the Flower World to ask Hua Ruoying for help. There were still some things in the Human World that he hadn't dealt with yet.
In the Human World, there were still Ye Qing's friends. In the past, he had accepted two little brothers from the Duanren Sect, as well as the Duanren Sect's sect master. They had all treated Ye Qing very well in the past.
After Ye Qing's achievements, he still hadn't given anything back to the Duanren Sect. He didn't even know what the small Duanren Sect had become.
There were also the friends who had helped Ye Qing during his rise. Ye Qing had to think of a way to repay them.
Ye Qing didn't like to owe others favors. Moreover, he had always treated his true friends well.
In the past, in the Demacian Empire, there were still some brothers from the Army of Cheats scattered around. When Ye Qing passed by, he called them back and prepared to bring them back to the Levitation Heavenly Palace in the future.
Ye Qing also found Gongsun Xiao, the disciple he had accepted in the past. Ye Qing brought him along and temporarily placed him in the system space.
After returning to the Human World, Ye Qing released his vast divine sense to search for news of his old friends. Along the way, he found many acquaintances and gathered them together.
When he arrived at the Liangzhou County, Ye Qing found Huangfu Yunlong. Huangfu Yunlong's body was still healthy. After many years of tempering outside, his cultivation had improved greatly. In his later years, he returned to the Liangzhou County.
He was Huangfu Lan's father, which meant he was Ye Qing's father-in-law. When they were in the Liangzhou County, Huangfu Yunlong had helped Ye Qing a lot.
When Ye Qing met Huangfu Yunlong, he helped him increase his lifespan and replenish his life essence.
Under Ye Qing's persuasion, Huangfu Yunlong agreed to follow Ye Qing to the Heavenly World because he would have a chance to reunite with Huangfu Lan in the future. All these years, he missed his daughter very much.
Ye Qing's last stop in the Human World was the Northern Desert's Duanren Sect.
Returning to the Duanren Sect, it felt like a lifetime had passed since Ye Qing left. Many years had passed since then, and the two little brothers he accepted in the past, the Berserker Warrior and Li Susu, had already become old fellows. They had done well in the Duanren Sect, and were now Elders.
As for the Duanren Sect's Sect Chief Li Mubai and Elder Murong Zhi, they were old men who didn't have much lifespan left.
After many years of cultivation, their cultivation had improved a lot, but in the end, they still couldn't escape death. Because their cultivation was too weak, they couldn't increase their lifespan by much.
After Ye Qing returned to the Duanren Sect, he released his divine sense and found his old friends in an instant.
He first found his two little brothers, Berserker and Li Susu. When they saw Ye Qing, it was as if they had seen a ghost. They were incomparably shocked.
It was worth mentioning that the former enemies, Berserker and Li Susu, actually developed feelings for each other in the end. They appreciated each other and became Dao companions, walking hand in hand for the rest of their lives. Now, they were both old and gray-haired.
They had many children and even grandchildren. They stayed in the Duanren Sect for their entire lives. Because of the burden of their family, they didn't dare to go out and take risks.
Their top priority was to protect the Duanren Sect and their loved ones.
In the past, Ye Qing had made great achievements in Liang Zhou County and ordered people to protect the Duanren Sect in the Northern Desert.
Ever since Ye Qing left the Duanren Sect, the Duanren Sect had been peaceful and undisturbed, becoming the number one sect in the Northern Desert.
However, the cultivation conditions in the Northern Desert were relatively harsh. Although the Duanren Sect was the overlord of the Northern Desert, they didn't have the opportunity to expand into Liang Zhou County.
When Berserker and Li Susu saw Ye Qing's return, it was as if a lifetime had passed.
They knew that Ye Qing had made great achievements. For many years, they often heard rumors about Ye Qing's glorious deeds.
In their hearts, Ye Qing was their idol, and they worshipped Ye Qing greatly.
The Duanren Sect's buildings were much more magnificent than before. Some of the old buildings had been renovated.
However, Ye Qing noticed that the room he used to cultivate in was still the same, shabby and unrenovated.
Perhaps, it represented the Duanren Sect's longing for Ye Qing.
It was just a small, shabby room. Outside the room, there was a lifelike statue. It was Ye Qingyu when he was a teenager, high-spirited and full of vigor!
Ye Qing had left for half his life, but when he returned, he still looked like a young man. That was because of his high cultivation that allowed him to maintain his youthful appearance.
But in reality, after Ye Qing left the Duanren Sect and went out to train, it had been a long time. Many of the Duanren Sect's disciples who were in the same generation as Ye Qing had died of old age, becoming the dust of history.
"Boss … you, you're back!
You're really back! "Berserker was trembling with excitement, tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Boss, where have you been all these years?" Li Susu looked at Ye Qing with muddy eyes, recalling many things from her youth.
