At this moment, the entire continent echoed with the words and laughter of Xiao Liuyun.

At this moment, all the cultivators on the continent raised their heads, looking at the sky. Countless cultivators who idolized Emperor Xiao knelt towards the sky, shouting, "Farewell to Emperor Xiao on his ascension!"

"Farewell to Emperor Xiao on his ascension!"

Voices of farewell rang out, echoing in every corner of the continent.

At this moment, the majesty of Emperor Xiao was revealed. As the strongest person on the continent, countless legends were created by him alone.

Since the day Emperor Xiao took charge of the continent and it was renamed "Liuyun Continent," many legendary deeds about Emperor Xiao were unearthed, becoming tales passed down across the continent.

Xiao Liuyun rose from obscurity, reaching the pinnacle of the continent step by step in just two thousand years.

Some say he came from a poor background and is an idol in the hearts of countless underprivileged children.

Others say he is the reincarnation of an ancient sage, with unmatched talent, destined in this life to rule the continent.

However, everyone knows one thing about Emperor Xiao: that throughout his life, he never failed, was unrestrained, immensely powerful, and step by step broke through order, leaving his footprints and legends all over the continent.....

Therefore, over the past thousand years, countless young disciples born on Liuyun Continent have taken Emperor Xiao as their goal and their faith.

To be precise, most of the babies born in this thousand-year span grew up hearing the legends of Emperor Xiao.

....

At this moment, the commotion erupted only after Emperor Xiao ascended and left the continent.

Many followers, although reluctant in their hearts, sincerely wished the first person of the continent well as he ascended to a higher world, for those on the path of cultivation understand that a person's life is a continual pursuit of a higher world, ever advancing?

Of course, some were secretly pleased.

Those were the major sects suppressed by the Saint Cloud Sect for a thousand years, because Emperor Xiao's departure signaled an impending reshuffle of the continent's power.

However, they still couldn't threaten the Saint Cloud Sect's position as overlord.

Because although Emperor Xiao had left, over the past thousand years, the Saint Cloud Sect developed rapidly, and all of Emperor Xiao's subordinates and offspring were exceptional talents.

Even without Emperor Xiao, at least in the next few hundred to a thousand years, the position of Saint Cloud Sect as overlord remains unshakeable.

However, Emperor Xiao's departure also gave the continent's cultivators hope, that is.... after cultivating to a certain level, one can indeed ascend!

Thus, those formidable figures across the continent also set their sights on ascension.

Ruling the continent is not true power; ascending to the Upper Realm, pursuing the pinnacle of the Great Dao, that is true power!

.....

At this moment, in a corner of the Liuyun Continent.

Inside a small sect known as "Cyan Cloud."

A young man in plain clothes stared dazedly at the sky.

The next second, a cane knocked on the young man's head, followed by a ragged old man holding a wine gourd, laughing as he asked: "What? Emperor Xiao's ascension, has it touched you, boy?"

Hearing this, the young man in plain clothes smiled and said to the old man, who reeked of alcohol, "Old man, do you think after cultivating to a certain level, one can really ascend?"

Upon hearing this.

The old man laughed and replied, "Of course, that laughter just now was Emperor Xiao's voice."

"He has ascended, left this continent, and has gone to a higher world."

"Emperor Xiao is also the first recorded ascendant of this continent, as well as the most powerful ruler in millennia."

Saying this, the old man took a big gulp of wine, gazed at the sky, and showed a look of envy.

"The first recorded ascendant?"

The young man in plain clothes murmured, "So ascension really exists. And you've always boasted to me that you could ascend long ago, are you stronger than Emperor Xiao?"

Upon hearing this, the old man with the alcoholic breath was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Of course! If I wanted to take over this continent, it would already be mine. If not for some reasons, I would have ascended long ago!"

Hearing this, the young man in plain clothes rolled his eyes at him.

"How much have you drunk again, you're talking nonsense again."

.....

"Alright! Hurry up and cultivate, haven't you always idolized Emperor Xiao?"

"Didn't you always say you wanted to follow in Emperor Xiao's footsteps, to become the next ruler?"

"With your on-and-off efforts, I doubt you'll even qualify to become an Elder of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

The old man with the alcoholic breath knocked on his head again with a cane, smiling as he said.

"Stop knocking!"

"When have I been lazy?"

"In the entire Cyan Cloud Sect, there aren't more than a handful more diligent than me, is there?"

The young man in plain clothes glared at the old man and said.

"Not enough."

"Far from enough."

"If you wish one day to ascend to the Upper Realm, the effort required is a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold of ordinary people."

With that, the old man with the alcoholic breath leaned on his cane, holding a wine jug, and walked down the mountain.

"Go cultivate, I'm off to buy some wine."

.....

The young man in plain clothes withdrew his gaze, his eyes becoming steadfast, and he clenched his fists subconsciously, walking step by step towards the back of the mountain.

....

Saint Cloud Sect.

A burly man said to an Immortal Shadow in the hall: "The lord has already ascended, please accept my condolences, madam."

Upon hearing this, a ethereal voice replied.

"There is nothing to be mourned; this is the path Brother Xiao should take."

"Xiao Jiu, you should withdraw for now."

Hearing this, the burly man stood up and walked step by step out of the hall.

After a long while.

A chubby little cherub ran up to the Immortal Shadow, leaped into her arms, and asked in a childish voice: "Mom, where did dad go?"

Hearing this, the Immortal Shadow paused, then smiled and said: "Dad has gone to a very far place."

"Then will he come back?"

After a pause, the Immortal Shadow remained silent for quite a while, then smiled and said: "You can go find dad. Dad will wait for you there."

"But you must work hard, become as powerful and strong as dad to see him."

....

"Alright!"

"I will definitely become like dad, and then I'll take mom with me to see dad."

The little cherub raised his small fist, holding it to his chest in determination.

.....

Above the Long River.

Su Mu had been wrestling with this Treasure Fish for ten minutes.

However, he wasn't in a hurry, as good things take time.

In the next second, Su Mu noticed that the fish seemed to have given up resisting and suddenly slackened its strength.

Sensing the change, Su Mu seized the moment and gave a strong pull.

Finally, he pulled the big guy out of the water.

"Hmm?"

"What kind of fish is this?"

Seeing this fish, even Su Mu, who was well-versed in many things, showed a look of confusion and murmured.
