113: The Divine Weapon Returns to Its Master After Traveling Through Countless Realms

Liu Qingtian's voice echoed through the valley, carrying an unquestionable chill.

The air rippled slightly as the figures of Wang Gou and Fu Yisheng emerged from the void.

Wang Gou still wore that half-smiling expression, but deep in his eyes, the playfulness had diminished, replaced by a touch of gravity.

Fu Yisheng appeared somewhat uneasy, not daring to meet Liu Qingtian's gaze directly.

"Old Liu, it seems you know everything?" Wang Gou spoke first, breaking the silence.

"Lin Feng just sent me a message." Liu Qingtian's gaze was like lightning as he swept over the two, "Water Blue Star, Luo Jiuxuan, refining the star for a Breakthrough. You two have been by my side for these years, waiting for this very moment, haven't you?"

Wang Gou sighed and spread his hands, "At this point, there is nothing left to hide. That's right, Old Fu and I really did come for Luo Jiuxuan. The past self of an Eighth Realm Supreme, a chance to fight in the same realm—it's a once-in-an-eternity opportunity. I just didn't expect his Mortal Transformation site to be your hometown, and that he would be making his final Breakthrough in such a manner."

Fu Yisheng also said in a low voice, "Brother Liu, we harbor no malice. It is just that pursuing the Peak of the Dao and witnessing the demeanor of the strongest is the long-cherished wish of Cultivators like us. This turn of events is also not something I wished to see."

Liu Qingtian said coldly, "Your long-cherished wish might cost the lives of countless living beings. Now, tell me, what do you intend to do?"

Wang Gou said solemnly, "Stop him. At the very least, we cannot let him refine the Water Blue Star Origin so easily. This is not only for your hometown but also for ourselves. If he enters the Fourth Realm so smoothly, with his Eighth Realm Foundation, who among the same rank could be his opponent? We would likely be wiped out by him with a casual wave before even having the qualifications to fight him. This is a battle for survival."

"How do we stop him? Relying on the three of us in the Golden Body Realm?" Liu Qingtian retorted. Although he had already achieved a Breakthrough, he still felt immense pressure when facing that legendary existence.

"Naturally, not by fighting head-on." Wang Gou shook his head, "Luo Jiuxuan is currently still in the mortal world and is limited by the rules, so he will not easily display power that exceeds the boundaries. Our opportunity lies in interference, in utilizing the special Seal environment of Water Blue Star, and in the flaws that may appear in the final stage of his Mortal Transformation tribulation. Specifically, we need to return to Water Blue Star and act according to the situation. The urgent matter is to hurry back!"

Liu Qingtian was silent for a moment and nodded. Wang Gou's words made sense; regardless, he had to return to Water Blue Star first. But the problem was that Meteorite Slope was separated from the Star Domain where Water Blue Star was located by who knew how many worlds, and ordinary interstellar teleportation arrays could not reach it at all, not to mention that Water Blue Star was also under a Seal.

"How do we go back? The energy required for cross-boundary teleportation is immense, and the coordinates are hard to find." Liu Qingtian raised the key question. The coordinates of Water Blue Star were likely a highly classified secret within the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Wang Gou's face revealed a strange smile, "Well, since that guy Lin Feng told you to go back, he naturally wouldn't have come unprepared. He sent a 'courier' over."

Just as he finished speaking, the space above the valley suddenly rippled, spreading out like water waves. Immediately after, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in modern casual clothes with messy hair, stumbled out of thin air, staggering a few steps before steadying himself.

"Ouch! Why are the coordinates so off this time? I almost fell into a star beast nest!" The young man patted his chest, looking terrified. He looked up and saw the three people in the valley, his eyes lighting up, especially when he saw Liu Qingtian, and he ran over excitedly.

"You must be Liu Qingtian, Big Boss Liu, right? Hello, hello! I am Wang Hao, Boss Lin Feng sent me to pick you up! Exclusive Myriad Heavens Courier, mission must be accomplished!" The young man, Wang Hao, enthusiastically extended his hand, but then felt it was inappropriate and sheepishly withdrew it, curiously examining the Demon Willow form of Liu Qingtian.

Liu Qingtian scrutinized this suddenly appearing young man. His cultivation base did not seem very high, but a strange spatial fluctuation lingered around him. Unlike the sense of concealment that Wang Gou had by merging with Karma, this was more direct and domineering.

"A possessor of the Myriad Heavens Transmigration System?" Liu Qingtian guessed, based on the strange tales Lin Feng had occasionally mentioned in the past.

Wang Hao scratched his head and chuckled, "Big Boss, you have a sharp eye! That's right, I'm just a runner; I rely entirely on the System to make a living. Boss Lin said the situation is urgent and told me to use up all my points if necessary to send you back to Water Blue Star at the fastest speed!"

Wang Gou, who was on the side, looked at Wang Hao, his eyes flickering slightly, but he did not say much. It was clear that the two were not the same person, just coincidentally sharing the same surname.

Liu Qingtian no longer hesitated; time was tight, "When can we depart?"

"Right now!" Wang Hao snapped his fingers, "The System has already locked onto the Water Blue Star coordinates, but the Seal over there is very strong. It requires you, Big Boss, to relax your mind and not resist my Transmigration traction force."

Liu Qingtian looked at Wang Gou and Fu Yisheng. Wang Gou said, "We have our own way to get there. See you on Water Blue Star." After speaking, his and Fu Yisheng's figures slowly faded, disappearing as if they had merged into the air, clearly having used some profound cross-boundary method.

Liu Qingtian nodded to Wang Hao, "Begin."

Wang Hao's expression became serious, his hands quickly forming Seals, and he muttered, "System, initiate the highest authority cross-boundary teleportation, target Water Blue Star, burn all points!"

Hum—!

A vast and incomparable spatial force erupted from Wang Hao's body, forming a huge spatial vortex above his head. The center of the vortex emitted a deep white light, and the familiar yet strange aura of his hometown faintly drifted out.

Liu Qingtian relaxed his body and mind, feeling a powerful traction force enveloping his whole body. He took one last look at this Meteorite Slope where he had fought for five years, then turned into a stream of light and was sucked into the spatial vortex.

Wang Hao followed closely behind and leaped into the vortex.

The process of Transmigration was bizarre and fantastical; scenes of countless worlds flashed past outside the passage, and the concepts of time and space became blurred. Liu Qingtian could feel Wang Hao's System power being consumed violently, supporting this ultra-long-distance traversal.

He did not know how much time had passed, perhaps it was just an instant, but a speck of azure light appeared ahead and rapidly enlarged!

Hometown! Water Blue Star!

Just at the moment when Liu Qingtian was about to rush out of the spatial passage and return to the world of Water Blue Star!

A sudden change occurred!

The purple-black great halberd—'burying netherworld'—which had been quietly suspended in the deepest part of his willow leaf grotto-heaven, the one that had accompanied him for many years, had been Sealed by him, and had helped him overcome countless crises while also leaving him with a massive debt, suddenly trembled violently without any warning!

A terrifying, annihilating will that Liu Qingtian had never felt before, far exceeding the Profound Void Realm or even the Fuhai Realm, suddenly awakened from the halberd body! This will was cold, ancient, and supreme, carrying a kind of indifference that looked down upon the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, dominating the cycle of life and death!

"Hum—!"

burying netherworld let out a joyous hum filled with a sense of homecoming. It was completely beyond Liu Qingtian's control, directly tearing through his willow leaf grotto-heaven space, transforming into a purple-black stream of light that pierced through the void. It instantly broke through the powerful Seal on the periphery of Water Blue Star and shot towards a certain direction on the planet, its speed so fast it transcended thought!

Liu Qingtian could even clearly feel that the lingering connection between himself and burying netherworld was completely severed at this moment!

Divine weapons have spirits and choose their own masters. And its true master had clearly awakened and was summoning its return!

"burying netherworld... master... Luo Jiuxuan!" Liu Qingtian felt a chill in his heart; he finally truly felt the terror of that existence. Just a sliver of will awakening, across endless space-time, was enough to easily summon away such a Fierce Weapon!

With a flash of light, the figures of Liu Qingtian and Wang Hao finally rushed out of the spatial passage and landed heavily on a familiar yet strange land—Water Blue Star, Dragon Country, a remote mountain forest.

Beneath his feet was solid ground, and in the air was the long-lost, faint industrial exhaust; in the distance, the hustle and bustle of the city could be faintly heard.

He was back.

But at this moment, there was not a shred of joy in Liu Qingtian's heart, only immense pressure. The departure of burying netherworld seemed to have taken away his greatest trump card, and it also signaled that the prelude to an unending battle between him and the past self of that Eighth Realm Supreme had already begun.

Wang Hao slumped on the ground, gasping for air, his face pale; clearly, the Transmigration had consumed a great deal. He looked at the solemn-faced Liu Qingtian and asked cautiously, "Liu... Big Boss Liu, that purple-black light that just flew out... what was that? It felt so scary."

Liu Qingtian did not answer, only raising his head to look at the distant sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds, seeing the point where the fate of that star intersected.

The sky of Water Blue Star was still azure. But an undercurrent that would sweep across the globe and determine the survival of countless living beings had already begun. And his battle had only just begun.
