After an unknown amount of time, Xu Xuanhu awoke from the darkness.

The Great Leiyin Temple still loomed, but the Black Mountain Demon perched upon the Lotus Platform appeared frighteningly emaciated, with deeply sunken eye sockets, and only scattered green ghost fires flickered intermittently.

"You..." Even though Xu Xuanhu knew this person was the world's top master, seeing his current state, he couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion.

Actually, he was born unaware of good and evil. But his father taught him to have empathy.

"I didn't expect the Black Mountain Demon would produce a kind-hearted person. Heavenly Dao knows no good or evil; you're wrong to behave this way," the Black Mountain Demon said faintly.

"Isn't Heavenly Dao supposed to embrace everything? If it can't even embrace kindness, then it's not Heavenly Dao," Xu Xuanhu retorted.

The Black Mountain Demon couldn't help but laugh, "This temperament is from the Black Mountain Demon. My time is running out. Come with me."

"Are you really dying?"

"Triggered the Heavenly Person Five Decays; how could I not die?" the Black Mountain Demon replied carelessly.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I want to touch Heavenly Dao too," the Black Mountain Demon said calmly.

Xu Xuanhu's eyes were filled with confusion; he couldn't understand the thoughts of the Black Mountain Demon.

The Black Mountain Demon's gaze fixed on him, then snapped his fingers. Xu Xuanhu let out a scream, and then discovered that a pair of bone wings had grown from his back, as if he had gained two extra hands.

The sensation of flesh and blood connection arose spontaneously, and the bone wings on his back fluttered lightly, unexpectedly lifting him off the ground.

"These Wind Thunder Wings haven't been fully refined, but they're enough for you to survive over there."

The Black Mountain Demon used his claws to open a crack on the Lotus Platform, and a terrifying suction emerged, sucking the two of them in together.

Soon, the crack closed, leaving nothing but a scar on the Lotus Platform.

…

…

When Xu Xuanhu saw light again, he was on a cliff cliffside, beneath which was an abyss reaching thousands of feet deep, with towering trees and huge birds of prey everywhere. More terrifyingly, there were two suns in the sky.

The Black Mountain Demon was sitting on a rock not far from him.

"Where is this?"

"See those two suns?"

"Hmm."

"I will be the third one."

Xu Xuanhu wanted to ask more, but was kicked into the abyss by the Black Mountain Demon.

On the seventh day, in this unfamiliar world, a third sun rose.

And Xu Xuanhu also learned that this place was ruled by a powerful Barbarian tribe called Jiuli.

They battled the heavens and the earth and also invaded other worlds.

Now, Xu Xuanhu found himself in a small tribe dependent on Jiuli, becoming the youngest wizard in the history of the tribe.

Because each tribe must have a wizard who knows Immortal Technique to preside over it. Coincidentally, the previous wizard, before dying, used astrology to find Xu Xuanhu nearby to inherit the position.

As for the other people in the tribe, none of them could learn Immortal Technique to inherit the former wizard's position.

…

…

"Xuanhu's aura has completely disappeared." After Xu Qing emerged, he discovered this, and did not hide it from Feng Wu.

"So he..."

"Perhaps not dead, but definitely not on Ying Huo Star anymore. We will only know this answer once we are on Ying Huo Star," Xu Qing analyzed calmly.

Feng Wu remained silent.

Xu Qing sighed lightly.

He was not only worried about his son's disappearance.

While recently cultivating the Xuantian Visualization Method, he suddenly discovered something.

In the Seven Azure Dragon Constellations in the east, an unexpected Star Official Acupoint had appeared.

He was sure that this Star Official Acupoint had never existed before.

Moreover, this Star Official Acupoint was illusory and unreal, existing yet causing no impact on the Divine Soul Hidden Vein of the Seven Azure Dragon Constellations.

It was like a mirage in a mirror.

Xu Qing vaguely felt this matter was related to Xuanhu's disappearance.

However, for now, he had to first handle the succession ceremony of the emperor's grandson to ensure the smooth transition of power in the Great Yu Dynasty.

The Great Yu Dynasty is currently unsuitable for relocating the capital, because if the capital is relocated back to Heavenly Mansion, there will be another issue, which is the increasing disparity between the north and south.

Of course, there are many other reasons as well. In any case, Xu Qing needs to completely stabilize the north.

Thus, he will be stationed in the capital, and as for the south, Feng Wu will be stationed at home, having already formed a deep interest alliance with Duke Wei Mansion.

Furthermore, he and Feng Wu have requested a second child.

Actually, Xu Qing himself has already attained longevity and has no issues needing an heir, but having a son is definitely beneficial for internal stability.

Otherwise, in the case of Xu Xuanhu's disappearance, it could easily destabilize Feng Wu's position and provide an opportunity for others with ulterior motives to ally with Princess Dongming.

Without strong external contradictions, internal ones naturally become prominent.

Fortunately, all of this can be slowly planned out.

The greatest role of Xu Qing now is to suppress the entire world, preventing the internal contradictions from exploding violently.

Accompanying Xu Qing into the capital are Elder Liang and Yan Shan, the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick duo.

Old Liang is the old Crouching Dragon, Yan Shan is the young Phoenix Chick.

Yan Shan took great pride in inheriting a former title of 'Sitting on the Pavilion,' though it isn't very auspicious.

Old Liang, however, was full of joy, rejuvenated with a second spring.

This time, he is about to revive his career.

If not for Xu Qing by his side, he would have planned to visit the former Grand Secretary, Zhang Tai'a.

No ulterior motives, just to learn from him.

As for Xu Qing's father-in-law, Feng Xifeng, he took over as the Governor of Yingtian, while Lord He logically rose to the position of Governor, and additionally, the position of Governor of Southern Zhili was abolished.

Because the governor's power is too great, and with the south now powerful, it is inappropriate to grant too high a title.
