The dense smoke dissipated.
Ten extremely beautiful young women appeared before Sa'eona.
"Sister Wu, you're awake?" the witches exclaimed as they noticed Sa'eona.
Sa'eona nodded and said, "Sisters, I sensed that in a certain place in the Eastern Huaxia Kingdom, the mode of the Human Realm Wonderland has been activated."
"That is the cultivation holy land we have always yearned for."
"As long as we occupy that place, we will undoubtedly become the most powerful vampire witches in this world!"
Upon hearing this, the witches exclaimed in surprise, "That's wonderful!"
"Sister Wu, when do we depart?"
Sa'eona replied, "There's no time to delay. We depart immediately."
"After all, if I can sense the Human Realm Wonderland, other cultivators can surely sense it too. Any delay will be disadvantageous for us!"
The witches chorused, "Sister Wu, we listen to you. Let's depart at once!"
...
The Arctic, Snow Island.
At the very moment Sa'eona awoke, with a thunderous roar, half of the entire Snow Island collapsed, sliding into the Arctic Ocean.
A massive black hole appeared in the collapsed area.
Instantly!
Countless Hexagonal Beasts emerged from the hole.
These beasts had facial features like humans, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, straight noses, and square mouths. If they were indeed humans, their appearance would exude masculinity and handsomeness.
Unfortunately, they were beasts after all.
They were called Hexagonal Beasts because six curved horns grew from the tops of their heads.
The four claws of these Hexagonal Beasts resembled steel hooks. With every step they took, they left deep imprints on the ice, which was as hard as iron.
Apart from the horns on their heads and their human-like faces, their entire appearance was indistinguishable from polar bears.
"Great King, what happened? Why did Snow Island collapse?"
One Hexagonal Beast asked another, particularly tall Hexagonal Beast, speaking with a human voice.
The Great King frowned in thought and said, "If I am not mistaken, the Human Realm Wonderland has appeared in some Eastern country."
"It is the appearance of this Human Realm Wonderland that has awakened us from our slumber, released the power within us, and caused half of this Snow Island to collapse."
"Heh heh, this Human Realm Wonderland is the cultivation holy land for the pre-historic demon beasts of our Earth!"
The Hexagonal Beast exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! Since pre-historic times, we have been searching for this Human Realm Wonderland, but we never found it."
"I never expected to discover it at this time."
"It seems that our not perishing in pre-historic times and surviving until now was precisely because this Human Realm Wonderland was waiting for us to report!"
Hearing this, the Great King couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.
He said, "You are right. To seize this Human Realm Wonderland, we depart immediately!"
Whoosh!
The Great King leaped, leading the Hexagonal Beasts eastward.
They had no wings, relying entirely on wind riding to fly.
Their speed was as fast as lightning.
...
Concurrently, in a desert area on the border between Huaxia and a foreign country.
Suddenly, a colossal castle emerged from beneath the ground.
The castle was constructed from stone blocks, with the roof also covered in exquisite stone slabs.
The overall appearance was very old and rudimentary.
However, the castle walls were carved with various beautiful and intricate patterns.
The castle seemed alive. As it emerged from the desert surface, it trembled several times, shaking off the yellow sand from its walls and roof.
With a clang, the castle gate opened.
A string of strange people, covered entirely in feathers, was spat out from within.
These individuals all had pumpkin-shaped heads, inverted white eyebrows, round eyes, flat noses, nostrils that faced upwards, and purplish-black lips.
Each of them possessed a pair of enormous wings.
One of them was exceptionally tall, standing over ten feet high. He held two sharp swords in his hands.
"Hoo—"
He exhaled a long breath towards the sky.
He shouted loudly, "This Feather Emperor has been resurrected in this world again!"
"Hahaha..."
The strange people surrounding him all knelt on one knee and shouted, "Long live Emperor Yu, long live, long, long live!"
Emperor Yu surveyed his surroundings and said, "My brothers, according to my senses, a person named Cheng Xiaofan has appeared in Huaxia. He is the descendant of the pre-historic Shennong Emperor of Earth."
"He has now created a Human Realm Wonderland in his hometown."
"In fact, this Human Realm Wonderland is a secret realm created by the Shennong Emperor in ancient times."
"In those days, we clashed with Emperor Shennong several times in search of this secret realm, but we were always defeated by him."
"Hahaha, I never expected this secret realm to reappear in this world, and to awaken us who were slumbering underground."
"This is truly a stroke of luck!"
"Ya Ge Ge—"
A strange person immediately stepped forward, smiling obsequiously, and said, "Lord Feather Emperor, what are your commands?"
Emperor Yu said, "Our objective this time is to fly to the White Python Lake Wonderland in Zhuxi Village, Huaxia, and seize that place."
"From now on, it will be our permanent residence."
"When flying to White Python Lake, you will be responsible for carrying the castle on your shoulders."
"You must not let it suffer any damage whatsoever."
Ya Ge Ge chuckled and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Feather Emperor. The castle is entrusted to me, and it will not be damaged in any way!"
"My only concern is that the person named Cheng Xiaofan, being the descendant of Emperor Shennong, can we succeed in seizing his Human Realm Wonderland?"
Hearing this, Emperor Yu let out a hearty laugh.
He said, "When I sensed the appearance of the secret realm, I also sensed Cheng Xiaofan's energy."
"In front of me, he is not worth mentioning. I can kill him with a single sword strike with one hand."
"Killing this brat will also avenge the repeated defeats I suffered at the hands of Emperor Shennong in pre-historic times!"
Ya Ge Ge asked, "Lord Feather Emperor, when do we move?"
Emperor Yu looked up at the moon, which was beginning to set in the west, and a cunning smile appeared on his face.
He said, "We can depart now."
"Depart!"
Boom!
Followed by a clap of thunder, the strange people spread their wings and soared into the sky.
Ya Ge Ge waved his hand, and the massive pre-historic Earth castle landed on his shoulder.
He carried the entire castle as if it were a balloon on his shoulder, appearing to exert no significant effort as he flew into the sky.
...
At this time, Cheng Xiaofan, with Nu Xi, was sitting in Ye Shisan's room, gathered around a table, savoring various delicacies and pastries.
Before long, Nu Xi, Konoe Mihiko, and the mother-daughter fox spirits had become close friends who talked about everything.
Konoe Mihiko, along with Zhuxi Wangyue and Lingling, held Nu Xi in great admiration. It wasn't just because of her stunning beauty, but also because her conversation and demeanor exuded an otherworldly, ethereal aura.
In their eyes, Nu Xi was like a saint.
