Time flew by, and Li Xuan spent three years in the residence of the Great Heavenly Dao, almost entirely in meditation and cultivation. As the Heavenly Dao Brush had said, this place was indeed very suitable for cultivation.
However, one thing left Li Xuan speechless: Tang Cheng's talent and potential were not that great. In such an excellent place, he still couldn't make further progress after two hundred years. Otherwise, why would so many troubles have arisen?
In three years, Li Xuan had already reached the peak of the Sovereign realm. In fact, if Li Xuan had wished, he could have broken through to the Void Breaking realm at any time. But according to the Heavenly Dao Brush, once Li Xuan broke through to the Void Breaking realm, he would leave this three-dimensional space. Li Xuan naturally did not want this.
After all, Li Xuan still had Yue Fuyao and his child in his heart.
"Young master, do you want to go back and take a look?" The Heavenly Dao Brush approached Li Xuan and asked.
Over the past three years, the Great Heavenly Dao had become less childish than when Li Xuan first met him. Perhaps it was because of the Heavenly Dao Brush, but the Great Heavenly Dao's mind had become more mature. Li Xuan had not asked for details about this.
Even the Great Heavenly Dao's name had been changed by Li Xuan at his pleading.
Li Zhouzheng.
"Calculating it, I have been away from the Vast Continent for a long time. Fuyao has been left to manage everything at home alone. It can be said that it is my dereliction of duty. I am not a good father, nor a good husband," Li Xuan sighed softly.
The Heavenly Dao Brush was silent for a moment, then said, "Young master, everyone's life is different, and the path they have to take is also different. Life always has gains and losses. If one could have everything, they would not be called human."
Li Xuan immediately smiled upon hearing this. With the comfort of the Heavenly Dao Brush, Li Xuan's heart was not as heavy as before.
"If there were a perfect solution in the world, it would be to be loyal to both the Buddha and the beloved. That is probably what it means," Li Xuan said, then looked at Li Zhouzheng and continued, "You have also matured a lot in these three years. I believe you can understand what I mean."
Li Zhouzheng looked at the Heavenly Dao Brush floating beside Li Xuan. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will fulfill my own responsibilities."
Li Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "We don't ask for our three-dimensional space to be as prosperous as the fourth-dimensional space. As long as it can develop safely, that's enough. You couldn't do it before because of the limitations of the rules. Now, I believe you can do it well."
Li Zhouzheng nodded and said, "This is my innate mission. I will."
"I'm leaving." Li Xuan nodded upon hearing this, then with a thought, he put the Heavenly Dao Brush back into the Zhenyu.
The next moment, Li Xuan's figure moved and disappeared from his original spot.
"Thank you." Li Zhouzheng looked at the spot where Li Xuan had stood, bowed deeply, and said softly.
Just as Li Xuan had guessed, after being modified by the Heavenly Dao Brush, Li Zhouzheng had now become a complete Heavenly Dao body. In terms of intelligence, he was naturally no different from ordinary people. All of this was thanks to the Heavenly Dao Brush.
But Li Zhouzheng knew that if Li Xuan had not been willing, the Heavenly Dao Brush would never have helped him. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Brush had such heaven-defying abilities and was willing to follow Li Xuan, which showed that Li Xuan was even more extraordinary. Li Zhouzheng understood that only by doing as Li Xuan said would he perhaps have a chance to see Li Xuan again in the future.
Li Zhouzheng always kept the words of the Heavenly Dao Brush in his heart.
"Young Master Li Xuan's roots are here."
The Vast Continent, the back mountain of Sheng Yue Sect.
Li Xuan's figure slowly walked out. Looking at the scenery that remained the same, Li Xuan's eyes were filled with relief.
"Everything is still the same, it's good," Li Xuan whispered with a smile.
"Xuan... Brother Xuan?" Just then, a surprised cry sounded. Li Xuan looked in the direction of the sound, and a smile appeared on his face.
At the entrance to the mountain path, a graceful figure stood. The person was Yue Fuyao.
"It's me." Li Xuan nodded, then opened his arms.
Upon hearing this, Yue Fuyao cried tears of joy and ran over, throwing herself into Li Xuan's arms.
At the same time, the sun rose in the east, and sunlight shone down. A ray of light fell precisely on the two of them.
The scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
In the main hall of Sheng Yue Sect, figures rushed in quickly. Upon seeing the figure standing in the hall, all the arriving people stopped, rubbed their eyes, and then quickly walked in.
Jian Chi.
Yue Caixuan.
Zhou Wenjing.
Liu Jiaqi.
Along with the elders of Sheng Yue Sect, they all arrived in the hall. Li Xuan's reputation and prestige were soaring on the Vast Continent, let alone in a small Sheng Yue Sect.
Of course, apart from Jian Chi and the other three, the elders also stood on the sides, looking at Li Xuan curiously.
"Where are Xin'er, Xi'er, and Yun'er?" Li Xuan looked around and then asked Yue Fuyao.
"The three little ones have gone out for training. Calculating the time, it's been nearly two years," Yue Fuyao said with a smile.
Li Xuan was stunned, then nodded. "The children are grown up, and it's time for them to go out and experience the world. What was their strength before they left?"
Yue Fuyao and the others could hear the worry in Li Xuan's words. They immediately said, "The three little ones are already at the Martial Saint realm. Nothing major will happen."
Li Xuan was finally relieved. When he went out to gain experience in the past, he was only at the Martial King realm. The three little ones had a much higher starting point than him. Moreover, with the current state of the Vast Continent, who would dare to disrespect Li Xuan?
"Brother Xuan, should we notify Brother Xuanye and the others?" Zhou Wenjing asked from the side.
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "There's no need. We can't make a big fuss every time I come back. That wouldn't be good. This time, let's just be a family."
"Okay." Everyone nodded, and the joy on their faces deepened. If Xuanye and the others were notified, various forces on the Vast Continent would surely come. Then Li Xuan would have less time to spend with them.
Yue Caixuan, seeing this, waved to the elders in the hall, and instantly only six people remained in the hall.
After a period of casual chat, Yue Caixuan and the other five pushed Li Xuan towards the back mountain.
Li Xuan gave a wry smile. After not seeing them for so long, they wanted him to roast meat for them as soon as they met. However, Li Xuan was happy. He took out a mystical beast from the Zhenyu. Not only that, but he also brought out several jars of spiritual wine purchased in the Chaotic Land.
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air.
"Fuyao, have you been back to Qingcheng?" As everyone began to chat, Li Xuan squatted down and asked softly, looking in the direction of Qingcheng.
Yue Fuyao could hear the longing for home in Li Xuan's words. She nodded with a smile and said, "Every year I bring the children back for a month. I tell them that's where their true roots are. Since the children haven't been here for the past two years, I'll go back for a few days."
Li Xuan was greatly comforted upon hearing this. "Fuyao, thank you."
"Brother Li, let's drink!" Jian Chi's voice rang out.
Li Xuan smiled, then raised a wine jar and looked at everyone. "Come, let's get drunk today!"
"Let's get drunk!"
