I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Ji Zhou sighed: "Ming is fine now and is resting. Don't go in and disturb him. He'll be busy again today and tomorrow after he's rested."

Ye Chuhan grew anxious: "What is he up to now? The matter at the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts has just been resolved. Instead of resting properly, what kind of trouble is he trying to cause?"

Ji Zhou glanced at him and said, "Ming-ge has his own plans. Let's go first. Don't make a fuss here."

Ye Chuhan hesitated, then could only shake her head helplessly at his expression.

"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you two!"

"Let's go, I should go back and rest for a while!"

After saying that, Ye Chuhan turned and left first.

……

As night deepened, the bright moonlight shone through the window lattice, casting a cool glow into the quiet room.

The shadows of the trees swayed in the courtyard, and the occasional distant chirping of insects only added to the stillness.

As Mingchuan sat alone, the composure and determination he displayed in front of Jizhou gradually subsided, and a trace of indescribable loneliness quietly emerged from the depths of his heart.

This path to becoming a strongman is destined to be accompanied by countless schemes, dangers, and partings.

He didn't really know whether bringing Leng Xi up was the right thing to do or not...

But indeed, everyone wanted to be together, and he was no exception.

He opened his palm, looking at the faint silver light at his fingertips. This was power, and also responsibility.

He took a deep breath, dispelling that trace of weakness, and his eyes regained their sharpness and determination.

"The path you chose is the one you're on; just keep walking it."

He muttered to himself, then stopped thinking about it, lay down fully clothed, calmed his mind, let the exhaustion wash over him, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, the sky was just getting light.

Mingchuan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and restrained, his condition having returned to its peak.

He got up, straightened his clothes, and went straight to the side hall where Sect Leader Ye usually handled his affairs.

Master Ye seemed to have anticipated his arrival and was sitting at his desk enjoying tea.

"Sect Leader Ye," Mingchuan greeted him with a smile.

Sect Leader Ye raised his head and smiled at him: "Judging from your appearance, you've basically recovered. What are your plans next? What are your intentions?"

"She's mostly recovered, her body is healing quite well. As for what to do..."

Mingchuan didn't hide anything and frankly told his plan: "I plan to first set up my own sect, bring up all the people from the human realm, and then establish a sect."

"Today I need to find Jinman first, bring the three children I left with her over and settle them in, before heading to the human world."

After listening, Sect Master Ye pondered for a moment and nodded: "With your current control over the spatial laws, establishing your own sect is indeed the best choice. This is what I had guessed before, and I support your decision."

He then changed the subject and offered a suggestion: "However, the matter of guiding them is of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly. Since you are already able to tear through space, why not first construct the prototype of an independent space in a secluded place in the Spirit Realm? It doesn't need to be too large, just enough to temporarily house those three children."

"In this way, when you go to the human realm, they can cultivate peacefully there without you having to worry about anything else, and you can also ensure their absolute safety. When you return from the human realm, you can use that space as a base to gradually expand it into a true foundation for your sect."

Upon hearing this, Mingchuan nodded.

"You're right, I'll take that advice."

After he finished speaking, he telepathically told Jinman that he was going to pick up the children that day.

Soon, Jinman replied, telling Mingchuan the location where the children were hiding.

After receiving the reply, Mingchuan stood up and bowed respectfully to Sect Leader Ye: "Then I'll be leaving now, Sect Leader Ye. I'm very grateful for your help this time. If you ever need anything from me when I establish my own sect, just let me know."

"Alright, go ahead, be careful." Sect Leader Ye waved his hand.

Mingchuan said no more and turned to walk out of the side hall.

Arriving at an open space outside the hall, he stirred his thoughts, and the power of space around him slowly gathered. Silver light flashed at his fingertips as he gently slashed at the void in front of him.

"Shoot-"

A stable spatial rift quietly appeared, with light and shadow flowing inside, exuding a mysterious aura.

Mingchuan glanced back in the direction where Sect Leader Ye was, then stepped into the area and disappeared.

The spatial rift quickly closed, as if it had never existed.

Mingchuan stepped out of the spatial rift, and the scene before him had changed. It was no longer the palace of Qingfeng Yumen, but a secluded valley filled with spiritual energy and beautiful scenery.

This is where Kingman hid her three children.

He had just steadied himself when a slender figure in purple emerged from a bamboo house not far away—it was Jin Man.

She looked Mingchuan up and down a few times, a hint of surprise flashing in her charming eyes, before she quickly regained her lazy, smiling demeanor.

"Wow, you've recovered pretty quickly! Looks like you've turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise and your skills have improved."

Her tone was teasing, but her eyes showed concern, "You've mastered spatial manipulation so well? You just ripped through it like that?"

Mingchuan smiled and didn't mince words: "I guess I escaped with my life, and I also managed to snag some benefits along the way. What about the three kids?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bamboo house was pushed open with a "bang," and three little heads peeked out eagerly.

"Brother Ziang!"

Ya Ya was the first to rush over like a little cannonball, hugging Ming Chuan's leg tightly. Her upturned little face showed both grievance and happiness, and her eyes were red.

"You're finally here! Ya Ya missed you so much! Elder Jin said you were in danger, it scared me to death..."

Chen Shu and Jinwa also ran out. Although they didn't rush over like Ya Ya, they surrounded Mingchuan, their eyes sparkling as they looked at him, their faces showing undisguised dependence and joy.

"Brother Zi'ang!" Jinwa's voice boomed, "You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages!"

Chen Shu was more composed. He first addressed Zi'ang respectfully as "Brother Zi'ang," and then added in a low voice, "We are all very worried about you."

Mingchuan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the three little ones. He squatted down, ruffled Yaya's hair, and patted Chen Shu and Jinwa on the shoulders.

"Alright, alright, I'm fine now, aren't I? It was just a small problem, but it's been taken care of. See, I'm here to pick you up now, all right?"

He looked at Jin Man and said seriously, "Jin Man, thank you for your help these past few days. Things aren't going well with Su Hongzhen, so I plan to take them away and settle them elsewhere."

Jinman nodded, not surprised at all: "I guessed it. Where do you plan to place them? Is it a safe place?"

Although her tone was casual, her eyes held a questioning look.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe."

Mingchuan spoke with certainty and a hint of confidence, "I've found a great place that no one but me can find."

He didn't elaborate, but seeing his confident demeanor and recalling the way he had just torn through space, Jinman roughly understood and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, that's good. Do you need me to give you a ride?"

“No need, I can handle it myself.” Mingchuan said, looking at the three children with a reassuring smile. “Come on, I’ll take you to the new house. I guarantee it will be more comfortable than here. We won’t have to hide anymore.”
