In fact, they haven't seen each other for nearly 150 years since they entered Huangquan Island.
It's naturally a pleasure to meet you now.
Moreover, Lu Ming discovered that both Xie Nianqing and Dandan had greatly improved their cultivation levels.
Xie Nianqing's cultivation level has reached the peak of the Seven Star Heavenly Emperor.
Dan Dan didn't fall much behind either, and he also reached the level of a Six-Star Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, on every island in the Yellow Springs Sea, a floating bridge has appeared, and on those islands, figures are rushing towards Yellow Springs Island.
They are those who did not reach the Island of the Dead and stayed on other islands.
Soon, Lu Ming met Lu Xiangxiang, Ouyang Moli, Long Chen, Huang Ling, and others...
All of his friends were safe and sound, and their cultivation levels had all greatly improved, which put Lu Ming at ease.
Several hours later, no one appeared on those islands anymore.
"Everyone's here, let's go!"
Zu Long led the group and rushed towards the side of Huangquan Island.
Along the coastline, they soon spotted two enormous warships.
Rumble!
One of the warships roared to life and started moving, speeding forward.
Above them were the Holy Ancestor of the alien race and other experts from the Evil God Clan.
The evil god clan actually left first, even though there were still some evil god clan members on the island who hadn't boarded the ship yet.
Clearly, the alien patriarch was afraid that the Ancestral Dragon would fight him to the death, so he abandoned some of the evil god races and set sail first.
"That guy is really despicable!"
The First Emperor roared in anger.
He really wanted to fight the alien patriarch to the death, but unfortunately, the alien patriarch was now deliberately avoiding him.
The remaining members of the evil god race, seeing the alien patriarch and his companions leave,
They all sighed helplessly.
They were abandoned, but thankfully, the Underworld is vast, and staying here is not much different from staying in the Realm of Evil Gods.
Upon seeing the malevolent gaze of the celestial powerhouse, their expressions changed, and they fled in another direction, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Walk!"
Zulong beckoned everyone to board the Tongtian Warship.
Soon, everyone boarded the Tongtian Warship, which then started up and sailed forward, cutting through the waves.
Soon after, a huge vortex appeared ahead, and the alien race and their Sky-Piercing Warship rushed into it one after another.
This time, unlike when they first entered, they didn't throw everyone out. Instead, the two Sky-Piercing Warships descended below along the vortex.
Then, the waters of the Yellow Springs flowed forward, forming a great river.
Is this the source of the River of the Dead?
Everyone couldn't help but think that way.
The River of the Underworld originates here, then flows around once and returns to the Underworld, forming a cycle.
Therefore, as long as they travel along the Yellow River, they will eventually reach the battlefield outside the Two Realms City of Taiqing Heaven.
However, it will probably take quite a while.
The battlefield outside Liangjie City is already relatively close to Huangquan Mountain; going around in circles here would probably take a very long time.
The group searched for a place to cultivate.
Lu Ming, Xie Nianqing, and the others gathered together, chatted for a while, and then dispersed.
Lu Ming sat cross-legged on a deck. With a thought, the painting and the word "war" appeared in his mind.
Lu Ming's attention was focused on the word 'war'.
Instantly, Lu Ming felt an infinitely profound artistic conception emerge. It was an extremely mysterious feeling that could only be understood intuitively and could not be described in words.
Mysterious and unfathomable—that was Lu Ming's feeling about the word "war".
The word "war" that Lu Ming comprehended after passing the third level originated from here, but it was only a superficial understanding.
Lu Ming began to concentrate on comprehending the concept, and the more he comprehended it, the deeper his understanding of 'combat' became.
The River of the Dead is really long, and they traveled on it for two whole years.
At this moment, the alien patriarch in front made his move, forcibly tearing open a space, and then leading the Sky-Piercing Warship into that spatial rift.
"That is... the Nine Netherworld!"
Many people saw and recognized the world beyond the spatial rift.
Clearly, the alien patriarch and his group entered the Nine Nether Heaven Domain directly, intending to return from there.
The space quickly healed.
They continued their journey and arrived at the Nine Nether Heavens. From there, the Taiqing Heavens would not be far away.
No one continued cultivating; instead, they waited.
Sure enough, not long after, the Ancestral Dragon made his move, and with a single blow to the void, space cracked open.
The spatial rift revealed that the battlefield outside the Two Realms City was on the other side.
"Walk!"
Zulong led the passage warship through the spatial rift and returned to the battlefield outside the Two Realms City.
I'm back!
Many people sighed.
This time, I entered Huangquan Mountain and stayed for over a hundred years, experiencing a great deal. Now, returning feels like a dream.
Swish! Swish! Swish!...
Everyone flew out of the Sky-Piercing Warship and headed towards the City of Two Realms.
Soon, they approached the City of Two Realms.
"Senior Zulong and the others are back!"
As soon as they approached, the powerful figures on the Two Realms City spotted them and quickly activated the great formation to let them in.
Upon entering, it was learned that for over a hundred years, neither the Celestial Realm nor the Evil God Clan had made any unusual moves, and the stalemate had continued.
Then, everyone said their goodbyes and left.
This time, many people had some extraordinary encounters at Huangquan Mountain.
Especially on the final island of the dead, many people have the opportunity to find a place to retreat and properly digest their experiences.
Zu Long also left and returned to Zu Long's Nest. He needed to use the Fruit of Life to heal his injuries.
Now it's a race against time, and it's foreseeable that the alien ancestor will recover from his injuries as quickly as possible.
Lu Ming, Xie Nianqing, Dandan, Lu Xiangxiang, and others will remain in Two Realms City for the time being.
"Lu Ming, I'm leaving too. My cultivation has reached the sixth-star Heavenly Emperor level. I need to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the peak Heavenly Emperor level, to return to my previous peak level!"
Dandan bid farewell to Lu Ming.
"Dandan, this is for you!"
With a wave of his hand, Lu Ming sent a jade box flying toward Dandan.
Dandan reached out and took it, opened it, and a strong, extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Dan Dan's pupils contracted, revealing a fiery light, and he exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the Fruit of Life! You brat, how do you have the Fruit of Life?"
He remembered that Lu Ming wasn't there when they were fighting for the Fruit of Life.
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
Lu Ming glanced at Dandan. Fortunately, it was just the two of them there, and there was no one else.
"Who am I? I'll tell you, I have plenty of the fruits of life!"
Lu Ming said smugly.
"Really?"
Dan Dan was skeptical.
"Nonsense, of course it's true! With this Fruit of Life, you can restore your cultivation to its peak!"
Lu Ming said.
The Fruit of Life not only possesses extraordinary power to heal injuries, but its effects are also incredibly remarkable, even for those who are not injured.
It can help people solidify their foundation, develop their potential, enhance their inner strength, and even break through to a higher level of cultivation.
