Xu Qing left a Demon King Protector to guard the altar, while his true self took the corpse and scepter of the Qionggang Ancestor, along with the looted materials, back to the Great Yu Dynasty.

This journey to the Otherworld yielded great rewards and opened the Otherworld commerce route for the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, it's a prime example of a major win.

The only concern is not knowing when it will attract the attention of a Great Witch from the Jiuli Tribe Alliance.

Fortunately, according to the feedback from the bronze mirror, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's Jiazi Catastrophe has shown no anomalies, and its timing has not changed.

From this reaction, it seems they are temporarily safe.

If the Jiazi Catastrophe were to be hastened, Xu Qing could only resort to emergency evacuation and destroy the Five-Colored Altar.

But it's unclear whether this move can cut off the possibility of invasion from the Jiuli World.

Anyway, if that moment comes, it's the only choice.

…

…

Heavenly Work Institute.

Heavenly Ling Sage, Old Tao Gu, and Xu Qing's legitimate second son, Xu Tianqi, among others, looked at the corpse of the Qionggang Ancestor that Xu Qing brought back from the Ying Huo Star.

This corpse was already in pieces, yet miraculously, there was an alien power constantly pulling it, trying to piece the fragmented body back together.

On the wounds of the body, mysterious Witch Text squirmed like tadpoles.

"The barbarians of the Jiuli World cultivate the Witchcraft Path. Their physical bodies are quite peculiar; even after being cut into eight parts, they can retain consciousness in various parts, attempting to piece them together and revive." Xu Qing couldn't help but marvel.

This is similar to the blood and flesh rebirth of Human Immortal Martial Dao.

In fact, Xu Qing feels that Human Immortal Martial Dao might have borrowed characteristics from the "Witch."

The life force of this barbarian old witch is even more tenacious than Xu Qing imagined. If Xu Qing were to leave it unchecked, he might indeed break through the seal with his limbs and come back to life one day.

Even a near First Grade wizard possesses such resilient life force; Xu Qing finds it hard to imagine how difficult those top Great Witches of the Jiuli World are to kill.

Legend has it that the true bodies of these Great Witches can move mountains and chase the moon.

It sounds a lot like the Taoist's Fatian Xiangdi.

Xu Qing actually suspects that the Taoist's Fatian Xiangdi is related to the true bodies of the Great Witches.

It's just unknown who copied whom.

The Heavenly Ling Sage, knowledgeable and experienced, said, "This Witch Corpse's flesh holds the Golden Element Power, very worthy of our study."

Xu Qing immediately threw out the damaged Kuafu's Staff, "And this too."

The Heavenly Ling Sage saw it and his eyes brightened even more.

He's seen and experienced many things, but he has never encountered such a formidable treasure. Even though the staff was damaged, its entirety gave an indescribable sense of perfect harmony.

This feeling is very complex and conflicting.

Moreover, when he gazed at the staff, he seemed to see a living being.

If not for Xu Qing standing nearby, the Heavenly Ling Sage would have liked to pull Old Tao Gu instantly to analyze and research it.

Xu Qing, understanding the situation, didn't say anything unnecessary, called Xu Tianqi, and planned to go home. Then left Old Tao Gu and Heavenly Ling Sage to study the Witch Corpse and the staff.

Well, upon seeing his father return, Xu Tianqi feigned surprise but couldn't stop his eyes from darting to the staff.

A grown-up child can't be controlled by the parent.

Xu Qing had no choice but to leave his second son here.

Indeed, when raising children, only when they're young do they instinctively rely on you; once grown, where do you find such dependence? Even Xuanhu prefers to stay in Qingshui Clan and do her own thing.

So Xu Qing would like to advise those considering having children as a means of support in old age: first, look at yourself, and see how filial you are to your parents.

…

…

Xu Qing returned to the Xu Residence; regarding the matter of Xuanhu, he had already communicated with Feng Wu in the dream, so there's no need to mention it upon returning home.

Feng Wu knew that the next time Xu Qing goes to Ying Huo Star, he would take her to see Xuanhu, so she was not in a hurry to ask about it.

Instead, she took out a letter from the East Sea Princess.

The content was roughly about Xu Qing's eldest illegitimate son Xu Hutou, now grown up, and the East Sea Princess wanted Xu Qing, his father, to assist in reclaiming the foundation of Fusang.

Now, although the Dongyi Sword Saint has already passed, his disciple has become the new Sword Saint, whose strength is no less than King Lin.

Moreover, Chuyun is very adept socially; in recent years, he has become close with King Lin, and even had King Lin take Xu Hutou as a disciple.

Of course, this matter was also reported to Xu Qing first.

Even if Xu Qing disagreed, he couldn't do much.

King Lin's foundation is overseas, naturally having interests aligned with the East Sea Gang.

Business is business, after all.

The East Sea Princess teaming up with King Lin doesn't lack the strength to reclaim Fusang Island. The key is wanting Xu Qing to directly back up and endorse.

"Awu, what do you think of this matter?" Xu Qing didn't express his opinion first but asked Feng Wu.

Feng Wu replied, "After all, you owe them, I think you should help."

Xu Qing laughed, "Then this matter is decided. I'll write to my brother, letting him wholeheartedly teach Hutou in cultivation. When he has the strength, he can reclaim Fusang Island himself."

Feng Wu couldn't help but look at Xu Qing in surprise.

Xu Qing said softly, "When he can hold onto it himself, only then can he keep it. If he doesn't have that ability, even if he gets it, he'll soon lose it. Better to be a carefree rich person."

Xu Qing can only provide his bloodline descendants with a high margin for error, but cannot make them succeed directly.

Because something that cannot be held by oneself will eventually be lost in the same way it is acquired.

Indeed, Xu Qing may be the top figure in the Great Yu Dynasty, but looking at the Taixu Three Thousand Realms, he's hardly significant.

Just those Great Witches from the Jiuli World, once they pay attention to, and act upon Xu Qing, are enough to crush his Heavenly Demon physique into dust.
