Qin Feng defeats Guo Kai and rescues Tiantian. After their reunion, they discuss their experiences over the past year. Qin Feng reveals the existence of the Saint Relics and a national map, offering Tiantian a chance to cultivate her talent within the relics for safety and growth.

Qin Feng grasped Tiantian’s hand, proceeding forward.

Naturally, possessing a map covering a vast expanse of over ten miles meant both Qin Feng and Tiantian could enter without restriction.

"Brother Qin, this place is immense. Where shall we establish our retreat?" Tiantian marveled at the peculiar and wondrous environment, inquiring softly as she followed Qin Feng.

"I’ve always considered the Vatican Six Towers an exceptionally suitable location for cultivation and dwelling. It offers considerable safety," Qin Feng replied at once, simultaneously using his soul sense to pinpoint the Void Beast's location.

Within the Vatican's six pagodas, Qin Feng and Tiantian carefully settled in. Shortly thereafter, the Void Beast also navigated its way via the soul sense pathway.

"Haha, Brother Cat, you’re not lacking in speed at all," Qin Feng chuckled heartily upon beholding the Void Beast.

"Master," the Void Beast responded, its tail wagging with equal excitement.

"Does your father know of my return?" Qin Feng questioned, his gaze directed towards the distant heavens.

"I am unaware. He has long harbored a desire to confront you."

"Ah, Brother Void's misunderstanding persists. No matter, I shall extend an invitation for tea another day," Qin Feng declared with a sigh, shaking his head.

"Master, I wish to go out and play," the Void Beast declared, leaping into Qin Feng's embrace and emitting soft meows.

"Not at this moment. I have an assignment for you," Qin Feng stated firmly.

"For what purpose?" the Void Beast inquired, clearly perplexed.

"Numerous beasts frequent the vicinity of the Ancestor's Relics. Remain here to protect my little sister and issue a warning to those Little Yellow Chickens, Little Monkeys, and similar creatures. Any who dare show disrespect to my little sister will find themselves stewed later."

"Her?" The Void Beast attentively listened to Qin Feng and then glanced at Tiantian positioned behind him.

Although it was his initial encounter with this particular woman, he could discern the profound care his master held for her.

"Brother Qin, this creature is truly adorable. May I hold it?" Tiantian’s large eyes beamed with delight and fascination at the appearance of the Void Beast.

Resistance was futile. With the innocent and endearing features of virtual animals reminiscent of pandas and raccoons, coupled with their expressive human-like countenances and childlike voices, even the formidable Qin Feng found them endearing. For a young girl like Tiantian, their charm was undeniably captivating.

"Certainly. Brother Cat will remain to ensure your safety. He reigns supreme within these ancient ruins. With him by your side, you are completely secure within the Six Towers," Qin Feng assured, entrusting the virtual creature to Tiantian.

He cautioned Tiantian that the core of these relics posed significant danger and advised her against venturing therein. With the virtual animal accompanying her, Qin Feng felt a sense of relief.

"Hey, are you Brother Cat?" Tiantian queried, cradling the Void Beast in her arms. She had taken an immediate liking to it.

"Since the extent of my abilities has been revealed, it is time to settle certain accounts." Tucking away the national map, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

With a flick of his sleeve, he set a direct course for Canghong City.

He possessed the capability to challenge Elder Pei Hongqing of the West Gate, who was at the True Essence Fifth Level, even without employing any psychological stratagems. Should he choose to suppress his opponent with spiritual power, not only Pei Hongqing but even Xie Zhenshan, the head of the West Gate, would be easily vanquished. More importantly, he had recently achieved a breakthrough, now cultivating at the ninth level of the Virtual Meta realm.

Canghong City was situated quite near Tan City. Merely a few days prior, the monastery within Tan City had narrowly escaped complete annihilation by "One Sword." This sensational news had rapidly disseminated throughout the region. Meanwhile, the Ximen Sect disciples, who were still relentlessly pursuing Qin Feng within the Can Hong Mountain Range despite their significant losses, were left adrift when Jian Yi vanished for an extended period. Consequently, they resorted to aggressively venturing into Tan City for retribution. All surviving disciples of the Ximen Sect found themselves compelled to retreat to Canghong.

The West Buddha Sect had sustained grievous damage. Although not all their True Essence Scripture Masters met the same fate as those in the Tan City Asura incident, the West Buddha Sect had incurred substantial casualties across all ranks, from the most junior disciples to their most formidable True Essence Scripture Masters. Despite Xie Zhenshan and Pei Hongqing being the sect's primary leaders, their prolonged absence remained conspicuous.

Upon their return to Canghong City, their efforts to recruit new disciples had yielded meager results.

However, virtually all cultivators at the Spirit and Spirit Realm levels and above had already aligned with existing schools. Even with an influx of newcomers at the Spiritual and Spirit environments, integrating them effectively proved challenging, making it improbable for the West Buddha Sect to recover its former strength in the short term.

As the imposing main gate swung open, Elder Pei Hongqing of the West Gate emerged, his head held high.

"Have you heard? The West Buddha Sect has commenced recruitment anew! This time, the entry requirements have been significantly relaxed. Even individuals at the Spirit Realm and above are welcome to join the West Buddha Sect and will be generously compensated!" From within a bustling restaurant, upon observing the assembled crowds, someone immediately began to whisper this news.

"Haha, so many people died to gain nothing. If they don’t recruit some new members quickly, do they think the Fu Sect will just let them off the hook? I heard their Sect Leader, Xie Zhenshan, has already gone to the Main Gate to beg for forgiveness."

This time, the Xifu Sect is truly in dire straits. Their leader, the Second Elder, Third Elder, and a vast number of elite disciples have all perished. Even if Xie Zhenshan pleads guilty, the Fu Sect will never forgive him. Tsk tsk, what a turn of events for such prominent figures today.

And Jian Yi, he truly had the audacity. Such devastating losses meant he had thoroughly offended the West. Unbelievably, he then went to Tan City and, within the Shura territory, annihilated all masters above the True Essence Well stage. Simultaneously, he offended both the WeenWeen and the Shura people. His end is sealed."

"Who knows, but that guy is incredibly formidable. Rumor has it he's only in his teens. We pitied him for decades, and now he only exists in ancient legends."

"Xie Zhenshan isn’t present. Is Pei Hongqing the only one left?"

Within a bustling restaurant, Qin Feng concluded his meal, feeling well-rested. He took a sip of wine, lifting his glass with a smile.

To the south of Canghong City, which lies to the west of this location, individuals were periodically entering a spacious area.

These individuals sought to join the West Buddha Sect. Securing a position within a powerful faction is undeniably a wise choice for many. The West Buddha Sect, at least prior to recent events, was not a weak force. Currently, Xie Zhenshan and Pei Hongqing remain top-tier experts in Kanhong City. Most crucially, the West Buddha Sect has the backing of the powerful Fu Sect. With the Fu Sect's support, the West Buddha Sect will undoubtedly recover its vitality swiftly.

At this moment, within the main hall situated behind the grand entrance, Pei Hongqing's gaze swept across the new faces appearing intermittently, a smile gracing his features.

Despite the significant losses in the West Gate District recently, the continued willingness of people to join demonstrated that the sect’s allure persisted. As long as this appeal remained, its prestige and influence would endure, making recovery and even further growth merely a matter of time.

Then, a figure clad in black robes, with a bamboo hat obscuring their features, entered with a slow, steady stride. Although their appearance was hidden, a potent and fierce aura emanated from their being.

Pei Hongqing, observing from the hall, immediately took notice of the black-robed individual, sensing something unusual.

"Friend, do you wish to join the West Buddha Sect?"

"Alas, you certainly wouldn't dare to accept me," a voice tinged with mockery replied. The black robe was slowly drawn back, revealing a beautiful face. At first glance, this visage appeared youthful, yet it held an enigmatic depth. Who else could it be but Qin Feng?

"You, you..."

"We are old acquaintances. This is hardly our first encounter." Qin Feng's gaze swept over the dozens of people surrounding him, a look of disappointment crossing his face. "Ah, as anticipated, only a handful of individuals. It’s a pity the Ximen Sect is so inept. No matter how many members you gather, it proves useless."

Pei Hongqing seemed to perceive the mocking glint in Qin Feng’s eyes, and the disdainful tone of his words stirred a murderous rage within him. Finally, unable to contain himself, he abruptly stood.
