Aolai City, this tranquil town nestled on the shore of the East Sea.
The sea breeze gently caressed, bringing with it the salty scent of the ocean.
This seemingly ordinary small city has now become the focus of the entire Douluo Continent and even the broader World.
Only because Fang Yang, with his supreme power, tore open the Void Realm here, creating a realm independent of heaven and earth—the Emperor Realm.
The residents of the city still lived peaceful lives, rising at dawn and resting at dusk.
They were completely unaware that above their heads, in the seemingly ordinary sky, a vast and boundless independent World was actually hidden.
The Emperor Realm.
The Laws of Heaven and Earth formed their own system.
The energy was so rich it was almost tangible, transforming into a faint golden mist that flowed between heaven and earth, nourishing every inch of land.
Exotic flowers and rare herbs grew everywhere, spiritual springs gurgled, and in the distance, several immortal mountains floated in mid-air, surrounded by colorful auspicious light.
Every plant, every tree, every scene, every object here contained a spiritual charm far exceeding the outside World; it would not be an exaggeration to call it a Human God Realm.
At this moment, Fang Yang was sitting by the rippling lake, fishing.
The fishing rod was slightly bent, and ripples spread across the water, but he closed his eyes to rest, enjoying this rare tranquility.
His mother, Lin Ximeng, was brewing tea in a nearby pavilion, and the fragrance of tea wafted in the air.
Gu Yuena and Na'er sat side by side under a flowering tree, talking in low voices, their silver and platinum hair gently intertwined in the breeze.
The two conversed softly, occasionally punctuated by clear laughter, adding a touch of Life Qi to this fairyland.
Xu Xiaoyan, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Fang Yang in a daze, her eyes full of affection.
Suddenly, Fang Yang opened his eyes, a hint of understanding flashing within them.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xiaoyan immediately noticed and looked at him curiously.
"We have guests."
Fang Yang smiled slightly, putting down his fishing rod, "I'll go greet them."
As soon as his voice fell, his figure dissipated into the air like a gentle breeze, leaving only a few spatial ripples slowly undulating... In Aolai City, Wu Changkong and Shen Yi slowly walked with Tang Wulin and his group.
"Is this Aolai City? It doesn't look any different from an ordinary small town," Xie Xie looked around curiously.
Tang Wulin looked at this familiar place, a complex expression in his eyes: "Yes, it's been a long time since I've been back."
His gaze swept towards a certain direction in the city, "I wonder how my parents and Teacher Mang Tian are doing..."
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi also curiously surveyed this seemingly ordinary small town, trying to find its extraordinary aspects.
Just then, ripples spread across the space in front of everyone, and a figure slowly emerged.
"Teacher Wu, Teacher Shen, everyone, long time no see." Fang Yang smiled, his gaze sweeping over the group.
Wu Changkong was still dressed in white as pure as snow, his demeanor as cold as frost.
The moment he saw Fang Yang, his usually icy brows softened slightly, and he nodded in greeting: "Fang Yang."
Shen Yi stood beside him, smiling gently: "Sorry to bother you."
"Since you're here, please come with me to the Emperor Realm for a chat."
Fang Yang gently raised his hand, and the surrounding space immediately underwent subtle changes.
As soon as his voice fell, everyone felt the scene before their eyes shift, and they were already in a brand new World.
The rich, almost tangible, Heaven and Earth energy rushed towards them, causing everyone to involuntarily take a deep breath.
"This... what is this?"
Xie Xie looked around in shock, gazing at the floating immortal mountains in the distance, the golden auspicious light flowing in the sky, and the exotic flowers and rare herbs he had never heard of, speechless for a moment.
Even the usually aloof Wu Changkong had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He could feel that the Laws of Heaven and Earth in this World were completely different from the outside, everywhere revealing the supreme power of its creator.
Fang Yang smiled slightly: "Welcome to my World, the Emperor Realm."
He led the group forward, the scenery along the way breathtakingly beautiful.
Exotic flowers and rare herbs exuded a refreshing fragrance, spiritual springs gurgled, and occasionally a few spiritual birds flew by in the air, leaving behind crisp calls.
"The Heaven and Earth energy here is more than ten times richer than outside." Wu Changkong felt the surrounding environment and rarely spoke in praise.
"Teacher Wu has sharp eyes."
Fang Yang nodded slightly, "The Emperor Realm forms its own Heaven and Earth; the Laws here are more complete, indeed more suitable for cultivation."
The group walked and observed, unconsciously arriving before an elegant pavilion.
The pavilion was built by the water, with light gauze dancing around it, and Spiritual Qi permeating the air.
Mother Lin Ximeng had already prepared tea and snacks, and seeing the guests arrive, she smiled gently: "Everyone has come a long way, you must be tired. Please have some tea and snacks."
Gu Yuena and Na'er stepped forward to help, while Xu Xiaoyan stood obediently to the side.
"Thank you."
Wu Changkong and the others quickly expressed their gratitude.
Lin Ximeng responded softly: "Don't be polite. You are Yang'er's teachers and friends, just make yourselves at home here."
The fragrance of tea wafted, and as everyone sipped the spiritual tea, their initial stiffness gradually dissipated.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was harmonious, discussing some recent developments on the continent and cultivation matters.
However, after three rounds of tea, the atmosphere in the pavilion gradually fell silent without anyone noticing.
Wu Changkong's fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white, and the struggle in his clear, cold eyes grew more intense.
Shen Yi looked at him worriedly, sighed softly, and hesitated to speak.
A moment later, Wu Changkong made up his mind, slowly put down his teacup, and looked at Fang Yang with determination.
Fang Yang seemed to have anticipated something, and his expression also became serious.
Wu Changkong suddenly stood up and was about to kneel before Fang Yang.
"Teacher Wu!"
Fang Yang reacted extremely quickly, an invisible force supporting Wu Changkong, preventing his action, "What are you doing?"
Wu Changkong was held up by that force, unable to kneel.
He looked up, his usually cold eyes now swirling with deep pain and pleading: "Fang Yang, I know this request might be difficult, but I... I really have no other choice."
His voice trembled slightly: "I came this time to ask you, to beg you to help me revive my teacher... Zhuo Shi, and my beloved... Dragon Ice."
Shen Yi remained silent, but tears had already welled up in her eyes.
Tang Wulin and the others also lowered their heads, and the atmosphere in the pavilion instantly became heavy.
Fang Yang sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "I know why you came."
Wu Changkong trembled, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
"They can be resurrected."
Fang Yang's voice was calm, "However, Teacher Wu, you'll have to wait a bit."
"Okay, I understand."
Wu Changkong nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "As long as Teacher and Dragon Ice can be resurrected, I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes."
"Then Teacher Wu, Teacher Shen, Wu Lin, you all can temporarily stay here."
Fang Yang said, his gaze gently sweeping over everyone, "The Emperor Realm is rich in Spiritual Qi, which will greatly benefit your cultivation."
"Okay."
Wu Changkong and the others nodded in agreement.
Afterward, Fang Yang arranged accommodations for each of them, all in places nestled by mountains and rivers, abundant in Spiritual Qi.
