Wang Junyi and You Meng debate the merits of Wang Junyi's mentor, with You Meng urging Wang Junyi not to lose faith. Meanwhile, Su Changfeng emerges from a three-day seclusion, having absorbed immense power and seemingly triggering a localized, unnatural storm that quickly dissipates. Both Wang Junyi and You Meng sense that the strange weather phenomenon is more than it appears.

"My master?" Wang Junyi was puzzled. How could celestial phenomena be related to his master? Could it be that his master could control the weather at will?

Soon, Su Changfeng returned to You Meng’s residence.

After not seeing him for a few days, Wang Junyi ran excitedly to Su Changfeng, his tone filled with grievance: "Master, you’re finally back, I really wanted to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Changfeng slapped him. This guy was getting more and more melodramatic, and he was starting to find it unbearable.

"What was going on just now?" You Meng also walked over hastily and directly asked her question. She believed things weren’t that simple, and this matter was likely related to Su Changfeng.

The few people present weren’t exactly outsiders, so Su Changfeng didn’t hide the truth and explained: "Previously, we must have misunderstood. I should have just reached the Holy Spirit Realm."

On the way back, Su Changfeng seriously thought about it. Perhaps the Heavenly Punishment came only now because they misunderstood his strength. His previous power likely wasn’t the true Holy Spirit Realm, which is why the Heavenly Punishment had been delayed.

After he merged with the energy left behind by previous Emperors, he finally reached the Holy Spirit Realm, and the Heavenly Punishment naturally followed.

"Holy Spirit Realm, so you’re saying the celestial phenomena was because you brought on the Heavenly Punishment?" You Meng asked.

"That’s right." Su Changfeng nodded and further explained: "I clearly felt a strange force just now, as if it was ready to take me to another place, the world mentioned by the Silver Flood Dragon, which I suppose exists."

"Could the Heavenly Punishment be a test to travel to the Otherworld?" You Meng, being very intelligent, immediately grasped the meaning of the Heavenly Punishment. It could not only transform the person undergoing tribulation but also allow them to enter a new, higher-level world.

However, all of this is contingent upon successfully enduring the test of the Heavenly Punishment. If one fails to pass, they would likely be obliterated.

"I suppose that’s the case." Su Changfeng remarked.

"You forcibly subdued your aura, and the Heavenly Punishment dispersed? Since you had the chance to leave, why did you choose to stay?" You Meng looked at Su Changfeng with some confusion. The Tianyuan Continent was in imminent crisis, and if they couldn’t deal with the Silver Flood Dragon, the Tianyuan Continent might cease to exist.

Given that Su Changfeng had the chance to avoid this crisis, why wouldn’t he leave?

Was he afraid? Afraid he couldn’t pass the test of the Heavenly Punishment and would end up shattered?

But soon, You Meng realized it was unlikely, given her understanding of Su Changfeng over this period, he definitely wouldn’t be scared by something like the Heavenly Punishment.

Many secrets couldn’t be made public. Su Changfeng was willing to share what he knew about the Tianyuan Continent with You Meng and the others, but he was absolutely not going to disclose anything about Earth.

Despite Su Changfeng’s curiosity about the Third World, he had no desire to personally go and check it out. To him, the most crucial task was finding the Space Tunnel on Tianyuan Mountain and returning to Earth, where everything he cherished was.

"Why, what do you think is the reason?" Su Changfeng countered.

You Meng was well aware of how important Chen Qingqing was to Su Changfeng. He had even killed Yu Changfeng directly for this sister without leaving any chance for Yu Changfeng.

But did he really have no interest in that higher-level world?

"If you insist on staying, you might end up dying with her. But if you leave, you’d survive. Is it really worth it to make this choice?" You Meng questioned.

Su Changfeng shook his head with a smile. He never thought about what was worth or not worth it. Ever since he decided to come to the Tianyuan Continent, he had prepared himself early on.

He had only two intentions from start to finish: to do his utmost to resolve the Tuo Shi crisis, and to peacefully return to be with Shen Hanxue and her daughter. As for other matters, he didn’t care at all.

"Master, so the previous phenomena were to take you to another world?" When Wang Junyi listened to You Meng and Su Changfeng’s conversation, he was completely shocked. He finally realized, looking at Su Changfeng incredulously, and asked.

What was the Heavenly Punishment? What was the higher-level world? Wang Junyi felt like his mind was a muddled mess, as these matters clearly surpassed his understanding.

Although he had heard from Su Changfeng that the Silver Flood Dragon came from a higher-level world, this matter had never been verified, so he had always doubted it.

But now, he had no choice but to believe it, as the matter had indeed occurred to Su Changfeng.

"Why, do you really want to see the new world?" Su Changfeng inquired.

Wang Junyi instinctively shook his head. He was quite self-aware, knowing that only the legendary Holy Spirit Realm could access such a place and must successfully endure the Heavenly Punishment to go. Wang Junyi thought himself too cowardly to undertake such risks.

"Master, will you leave the Tianyuan Continent one day?" Wang Junyi asked, thinking that even though Su Changfeng hadn’t revealed his aura and didn’t undergo tribulation to leave now, one day it would happen.

Since he was already the most powerful person on the Tianyuan Continent, there was no further point in remaining there. To advance further, he had to venture into a new world.

Indeed, Su Changfeng would leave eventually, but not in the way Wang Junyi imagined. Moreover, he had no intention of pursuing higher levels of cultivation; he had only one wish: to return to Earth and live a peaceful life with Shen Hanxue and the others.

"You’re right, one day I will leave." Su Changfeng stated.

The light in Wang Junyi’s eyes dimmed all at once, feeling a slight loss, but he understood there was no way to keep Su Changfeng, nor could he do so.

"Now that you can bring forth the Heavenly Punishment, when do you plan to execute that plan?" You Meng asked Su Changfeng.

Originally, Su Changfeng planned to deal with the Silver Flood Dragon when You Meng underwent tribulation, but now it no longer held any meaning. Besides, they had no idea when You Meng might break through to the Holy Spirit Realm.

Considering the current state of You Meng, she seemed like an ant in Su Changfeng’s eyes, showing the significant difference between the Holy Spirit Realm and Primordial Essence. It was almost impossible for You Meng to break through quickly.

The main issue was that time wasn’t on their side. Currently, the Silver Flood Dragon’s strength hadn’t yet returned to its peak, presenting them with a rare opportunity. Prolonging matters would only allow the Silver Flood Dragon to become stronger, making it much harder to deal with in the future.
