Tangyu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, since the Sect Master Immortal and Holy Maiden have said so, it would be impolite for us to refuse."

The Sect Master Immortal nodded, "That's the spirit, young people should be straightforward. This is an honor for you, but also a responsibility and duty. I will announce this immediately. In the future, you can choose a Spirit Mountain in the Eighth Heavens as your place for cultivation, anywhere you like. Moreover, you have the right to know and inquire about everything in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect."

Pan Heavenly King also bowed to offer congratulations, "Congratulations, from now on we'll call you Sect Leader Tang and Sect Leader Sun."

Gu Shengyu and Pan Chenyu also offered their congratulations one after another. Tangyu replied with a casual smile. Speaking of the position of Sect Leader, Tangyu actually wasn't that concerned about it.

Little Yaya also said, "Congratulations, Brother Tangyu."

Tangyu smiled, feeling a sense of affection when he saw Little Yaya, just like seeing a family member. He also smiled at her, "You've grown up and matured a lot, so graceful and beautiful."

Little Yaya happily said, "Is that so, Brother Tangyu? Then when I grow up, can I marry you?"

"Uh—" With that one sentence, Tangyu almost suffered internal injuries from surprise. How could this little girl, just over ten years old, say something like that?

"Haha!" Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, even the Holy Maiden couldn't help but smile.

Little Yaya looked at everyone with clear eyes and said, "I'm serious, when I grow up, I want to marry Brother Tangyu. I like Brother Tangyu, none of you are allowed to laugh at me or compete with me."

"Haha!!!" Everyone laughed even harder.

Tangyu was blushing all over, momentarily speechless. To think that he, an experienced veteran in matters of the heart, was made embarrassed by Little Yaya's teasing.

After some playful banter, Tangyu and Sun Wukong bid farewell and left. The Sect Master Immortal then announced to the entire sect the appointment of Tangyu and Sun Wukong as Sect Leaders. This news immediately caused a sensation throughout the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, with countless discussions and doubts arising. Of course, soon after, the news that Tangyu and Sun Wukong were crowned as youthful kings came out, which quelled all doubts.

If they truly had the strength to be crowned as youthful kings, being appointed as Sect Leaders was indeed justifiable. It was widely acknowledged that the strength of youthful kings could indeed contend with the Immortal Realm.

The term "youthful king" alone was a supreme honor.

Tangyu found his elder brother, Zi Cang, and returned to Yanshan City together. The return of Tangyu and the others filled Yanshan City with jubilant celebration. The World of the Gods' war saw the defeat of the three races, and they temporarily ceased their actions, leading to a period of relative peace.

Yan Nantian and others set up a banquet to gather everyone together, warmly welcoming the return of Tangyu and the others, which was quite lively.

Seeing these old friends and having drinks together was indeed a joyous occasion. This party lasted an entire day and night. Tangyu then called Sun Wukong, Zi Cang, and his second brother Yu Feng into the room to discuss important matters.

Tangyu spoke directly, "Big brother, second brother, I want to go back to Earth."

Upon hearing Tangyu's words, Zi Cang and Yu Feng were slightly startled. They too wished to return to Earth. Zi Cang heavily nodded, "Earth, indeed we should return. With your current strength, Tangyu, you can take us back."

Zi Cang and Yu Feng were both at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, not yet having stepped into the Zifu Realm.

Sun Wukong, however, curiously asked, "Tangyu, what is Earth? Your homeland? Where is it?"

Tangyu smiled and said, "Monkey King, let me tell you. It's our homeland. And there's a legendary figure in our homeland who is very much like you." Then Tangyu told Sun Wukong about some things on Earth, including the Sun Wukong from Earthly mythology.

After hearing this, Sun Wukong exclaimed with interest, "Heh heh, interesting, interesting. From what you've said, the Sun Wukong on your Earth really is a lot like old Sun. Heh heh, too interesting. It sounds like your homeland is quite extraordinary; I really want to see it."

Big brother and second brother agreed as well, and Tangyu set the plan for returning to Earth. Sun Wukong also joined, Tangyu was naturally happy to bring Sun Wukong along.

The situation in Yanshan City is very stable now, with Purple Sun Pill and Jinyang Pill, there is naturally the potential to cultivate a large number of powerful beings for Yanshan Sect. Though it's not impregnable, it is incredibly strong. Basically, there's no need to worry too much.

After setting the plan to return to Earth, Tangyu prepared to refine pills again. The Jinyang Pills he had were all gone. This time going back to Earth, Tangyu also planned to bring some Jinyang Pills along. With Tangyu's current strength, refining Jinyang Pills is a breeze. This time, it only took a few days to refine five hundred Gold Coin Jinyang Pills; if he hadn't run out of materials, Tangyu would have made more. There's never too many Jinyang Pills.

"More than five hundred pills, although it's not a lot, it's good enough." Tangyu curled his lip, stood up, and said to Zi Cang and the others, "It's about time, we should head back to Earth. Let's go while there's still a gap."

Zi Cang was calm, not too excited. As for Earth, he didn't have much attachment to it. Of course, being able to visit Earth would be nice. Yu Feng was much more excited, after all, he is the Great Valley Master of Myriad Saints Valley, with many people he cared about there. Being able to return even once was something he always longed for.

Tangyu didn't mention this matter to anyone, he just said goodbye to Yan Nantian quietly, then silently left, heading straight to Dark Nether Wilds. The space rift leading to Earth is deep within the Dark Nether Wilds.

Just as they left Yanshan City, Tangyu suddenly furrowed his brows, waved his hand to signal everyone to stop. He looked ahead, a figure appeared there, blocking the path of Tangyu and his companions. Recognizing this familiar figure, Tangyu immediately felt a surge of excitement: "Senior Qing Yazi, it's you!"

The old man before them was indeed Senior Qing Yazi. Seeing Qing Yazi, Tangyu felt deeply grateful. In Tangyu's heart, he always regarded Qing Yazi as his Master. His feelings for Qing Yazi were extremely profound.

"Greetings, Senior Qing Yazi." Zi Cang and Yu Feng also immediately greeted respectfully, they were very grateful to Senior Qing Yazi. If it weren't for Senior Qing Yazi, they wouldn't have been able to leave Earth, and naturally couldn't have achieved what they have today.

Tangyu's gaze also fell on Senior Qing Yazi. After more than four years apart, the aura around Qing Yazi had changed significantly, indicating his injuries were completely healed. Moreover, he seemed much stronger than before. Tangyu could sense that Qing Yazi was a being in the Seeking Immortal Realm. However, Tangyu hadn't heard of Qing Yazi's reputation before. Tangyu had inquired about him, but found no information.

Qing Yazi assessed Tangyu and the others, then nodded, "Impressive, in just over four years, you've all changed so drastically. Your growth is indeed delightful. Especially you, Tangyu, your advancement indeed far exceeds my expectations. I used to be unwilling to take you as a disciple, now even if I wanted to, I don't qualify. In such a short time, you've reached such heights, a young king sealed by antiquity, truly it commands immense admiration."

Tangyu curled his lip and said, "Senior Qing Yazi is too modest, in my heart, you've always been my Master, even if you don't admit it."

Qing Yazi waved his hand, "Let's not discuss this now, I came specifically to find you about something major. This matter, only you can solve."

"Major matter?" Tangyu and his companions were startled, what could be so serious that Senior Qing Yazi would come to them personally?

Qing Yazi continued, "Here's the situation: a while ago, I accidentally passed by the space rift leading to Earth and discovered a group of Zifu Realm cultivators had entered. Therefore, I immediately sealed and concealed the rift location, preventing anyone from finding it, and ensuring those people couldn't leave and alert others. I guarded that location for several days; luckily, no one else showed up, and those people didn't return."

"Thus, I came to find you because I can't enter Earth myself, so I can only send you back to see what those people intend. If they have malicious intentions, they might destroy Earth."

"What? A group of Zifu Great Powers entered Earth!" Tangyu and the others were shocked, this is indeed a major issue. Not to mention one Zifu Great Power, even a powerful Golden Core realm entering Earth would be unimaginable. A potent Golden Core cultivator could dominate the entire Ancient Martial World, overturn the world, and even launch an unprecedented catastrophe on Earth. But now, it's a group of Zifu Great Powers, which is indeed terrifying.

Upon hearing this news, Tangyu was even more anxious to return to Earth, immensely worried about its situation.

"How could this happen? Senior Qing Yazi, when did they enter?" Tangyu asked urgently.

Qing Yazi replied, "More than three months ago, because at the time you were in the World of the Gods, I couldn't notify you. I've been waiting for you to come out, now you have, so I'm informing you immediately."

"Three months—" Tangyu's face turned somber immediately, a lot could happen in three months: "No, I must return to Earth immediately."

"Senior Qing Yazi, may I ask, why can't you go back to Earth?" Zi Cang asked suddenly.

This question was something Tangyu also wanted to ask. If Senior Qing Yazi acted, those people would likely have been dealt with, eliminating this crisis entirely.

Qing Yazi shook his head and sighed lightly, "I truly can't return. It involves some secret of the small world. When I appeared on Earth before, it was because I was still in the Zifu Realm. But now, I'm in the Seeking Immortal Realm, so I can't enter small worlds anymore. Unless I'm from Earth, sharing the same origin, then I'd be able to enter."
