Chapter 1646 How will we get through the days to come?
At this moment, countless Nascent Soul Realm cultivators gathered before Xuan Guangtian's majestic Star Gate, their eyes fixed intently on the light screen, awaiting the return of Su Fan and the others.

Just now, they also witnessed Su Fan's heroic figure as he roamed freely across the demon realm and slaughtered demons at will, all through the transparent light screen.

That terrifying power, sweeping across the battlefield and unstoppable, is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

Only now did these old guys, who had lived for over ten thousand years, finally realize the truth.

It turns out that Xuan Guangtian's resounding victory was entirely due to Su Fan's efforts.

Despite their resentment and disbelief, they had to admit that in this great battle, apart from playing a slight role in restraining the demons outside the defense line, they had done almost nothing of substance.

When they broke through the demon's defenses, they only managed to kill a few stragglers who managed to escape.

The rest of the main demon forces were all slaughtered by Su Fan alone.

At this moment, everyone present was filled with regret and remorse.

Why didn't I muster the courage to join that kid in storming the Demon Realm back then?

At first, they all thought that those sword fanatics who followed Su Fan into the Demon Realm would surely perish and never return, and they secretly rejoiced that they had not acted impulsively.

But who would have thought that after those sword cultivators stormed into the Demon Realm, they didn't encounter any danger at all, except for guarding that Star Gate. They were quite idle.

Even so, those fearless sword fanatics are destined to be remembered in history.

Back then, their heroic figures, who followed Su Fan into the Demon Realm without hesitation, were witnessed by all the human cultivators in the Yuanmang Constellation. What glory and integrity they displayed!

If only I could have taken that step back then and entered the Demon Realm.

With this experience alone, one can boast about it to their descendants for the rest of their life.

Unfortunately, none of them had the courage to step forward, and they ultimately missed this golden opportunity to make a name for themselves in the Yuanmang constellation.

Now that the die is cast, it's too late. Regret and sorrow were written all over the faces of those present.

Peng Shidao and others, in particular, were filled with remorse and regret.

Peng Shidao glanced at Wuyue God and Jialuo God beside him and saw that their eyes were also full of regret, just like his.

They weren't too concerned about whether they would be remembered in history; their biggest worry was that Su Fan would hold a grudge against them because of it.

If they were to incur the wrath of that cruel and tyrannical demon, they would likely never be able to sleep soundly in Zhengyuan Heaven, and would be constantly plagued by unrest.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, figures rushed out from the Star Gate. The first to step out were the Sword Madmen who had followed Su Fan into the Demon Realm.

However, no one saw any arrogance or boastfulness on the faces of these sword cultivators. Instead, they all looked dejected and somewhat disappointed.

In fact, when Su Fan brought them into the Demon Realm, he didn't expect these sword fanatics to be of much help; he just wanted them to protect his escape route.

His biggest worry was that the demons, in desperation, would summon their kin from the upper realm to descend.

He had to focus all his efforts on dealing with the Heavenly Demon from the Upper Realm, leaving him no time to attend to the Star Gate behind him.

If his escape route is cut off, it will be extremely difficult for him to return to Xuan Guangtian from the Demon Realm.

As for why the demons from the upper realm did not descend to the lower realm, Su Fan already had a guess in his mind.

Most likely, after the defeat of "Manrongtian", the demon race had completely lost the qualification and opportunity to invade Xuanguangtian.

For a demon realm that has already been defeated, the demons of the upper realm would naturally not expend a huge cost to descend to the lower realm to lend a helping hand.

In the eyes of those demons from the upper realm, their kin from the lower realm were no different from ants, insignificant and trivial.

Moreover, this is a failed lower realm demon plane; once it's destroyed, so be it.

In any case, the demon race is vast, with countless members, so it's not worth wasting your energy on them.

It wasn't until Sun Haobai and several other immortal cultivators emerged from the Star Gate that the crowd caught a glimpse of barely concealed excitement and exhilaration on their faces.

All eyes instantly turned to them, their gazes filled with envy and barely concealed jealousy.

They were jealous that they could follow Su Fan, experience this earth-shattering battle, and reap this supreme glory.

Finally, Su Fan slowly walked out of the starry sky gate.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Su Fan—"

All the human cultivators present, led by dozens of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, bowed in unison.

They bowed respectfully to Su Fan, their voices ringing out in unison, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

Su Fan glanced at them expressionlessly, his eyes indifferent, showing no intention of paying them any attention.

It was as if the group of Nascent Soul cultivators in front of him were nothing more than dust on the roadside.

"Boom..."

He slowly turned around, raised his hand and waved it, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy swept out. The star gate that spanned the heavens and earth shattered instantly, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.

After doing all this, he slowly cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.

"The battle is over. Can I return to Zhengyuan Heaven now...?"

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, an elderly man with a refined appearance immediately stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him with utmost respect.

"Senior Brother Su Fan, I am Su Hongzhi, the Sect Master of Lingyun Immortal Palace. It's a rare opportunity for you to visit our Xuan Guang Tian. Why don't you stay here for a few days and let us show you our hospitality..."

At this point, Su Hongzhi showed a humble smile.

"We have prepared a small feast as a token of our appreciation, and we hope you will do us the honor of joining us, senior brother..."

Su Fan smiled faintly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

“Senior Brother Hongzhi, you’re too kind. It’s just that I used the Blood Burning Secret Technique these past few days, which has overdrawn my own foundation. I urgently need to go into seclusion to recuperate. I appreciate your kindness, Senior Brother…”

Hearing this, the mood of the many Nascent Soul Realm veterans present lightened considerably.

No wonder Su Fan's strength was so terrifying; it turns out he used a blood-burning secret technique that overdraws his body.

Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.

It's not that outrageous, enough to make them too desperate.

Upon hearing this, Su Hongzhi quickly replied, "Senior Brother, you can rest assured. Our Lingyun Immortal Palace has the best secluded cultivation spot in the entire Xuan Guangtian, with abundant spiritual energy and a tranquil environment. I will arrange it for you right away..."

Su Fan smiled and waved at him, his tone remaining calm.

"No need. I need to rush back to Zhengyuan Heaven for secluded cultivation immediately. It will probably take at least several decades to fully recover, so I won't trouble Senior Brother Hongzhi..."

Having said that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the crowd once more, said no more, and turned to walk away into the distance.

Su Hongzhi and the others watched his receding figure, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness, and could only let Su Fan leave.

They knew that with Su Fan's current strength and temperament, once he made a decision, no one could change it.

Having shaken off the group of hypocritical old men behind him, Su Fan was about to step into the void and use "Void Lightning Escape" to leave this place completely when a hurried call suddenly came from behind him.

"Junior Brother Su Fan...please wait..."

Su Fan frowned immediately, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

He recognized the voice immediately; it was that old bastard Peng Shidao.

When he needed support, these cultivators from Zhengyuan Heaven all huddled in the back and refused to stand up and support him.

Now that the war is over and he's about to leave, he's suddenly showing up. Why didn't he do this sooner?

Su Fan finally understood that none of the people from Zheng Yuantian could be relied on in a critical moment.

He stopped and slowly turned around, only to see Peng Shidao and the others rushing toward him, looking flustered as if something urgent had happened.

Peng Shidao was sweating profusely, with veins bulging on his forehead. He had already figured out that Su Fan was definitely holding back his anger.

Back then, these cultivators from Zheng Yuan Tian did not follow him into the Demon Realm, which undoubtedly offended this fiend.

“Junior brother… I… I’ve already spoken with Senior Brother Hongzhi and asked him to arrange the best secluded cultivation place for you at Lingyun Immortal Palace. You can stay and rest for a few days before leaving, so that we can express our gratitude in a small way…”

Upon hearing this, Su Fan's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone full of sarcasm.

"No need... I'll return to Zhengyuan Heaven immediately. Please don't trouble yourself with the seclusion matter, Senior Brother..."

"Junior brother...we..."

Peng Shidao wanted to say something more, trying to explain and salvage the situation, but before he could finish speaking, Su Fan raised his hand and coldly interrupted him.

"Senior brother, you talk too much nonsense..."

Su Fan's voice was gloomy and cold, carrying a terrifying pressure. Peng Shidao froze, no longer daring to utter a word, his face turning deathly pale.

The Gods Wuyue and Jialuo, who were standing nearby, also wanted to say a few words to ease the tension.

But when the two met Su Fan's cold, sharp eyes, they swallowed back the words that were on the tip of their tongues, not daring to utter a single word.

Su Fan glanced coldly at the three of them, his impatience and disgust undisguised.

Those shameless old bastards, I won't be giving you a kind look anymore.

Without lingering any longer, he turned and stepped into the void, his figure instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Watching Su Fan's figure disappear from the spot, Peng Shidao and the others turned ashen-faced, secretly annoyed.

Now that we've offended this scourge, how are we going to live from now on?

Su Fan had no time to care what they thought. He immediately used "Void Thunder Escape," transforming his body into a streak of purple-gold lightning and instantly disappearing more than ten thousand miles away.

When he emerged from the void, he had already arrived outside a celestial city.

He did not come to Xuan Guangtian alone; he brought his family with him.

Now that the great battle is over, and they finally have some free time, they should naturally be allowed to stroll around Xuan Guang Tian and experience the unique charm of this immortal realm.

At this moment, the defensive array of the immortal city had been completely dismantled, and cultivators from all directions were arriving in an endless stream, hurrying along and vying to enter the immortal city.

They all wanted to personally experience the excitement of the victory and see what the Immortal City would look like after the war.

Because Xuan Guangtian had just achieved a resounding victory over the demons, the entire immortal city was filled with cheers and jubilation, and the air was thick with the joy of victory.

Not wanting to be too conspicuous, Su Fan raised his hand and used a secret technique to instantly change his appearance, suppressing his originally unfathomable cultivation level to the Golden Core realm, disguising himself as an ordinary cultivator.

He mingled in the crowd and slowly walked towards the city gate of the immortal city.

As he walked to the city gate, he looked up at the plaque on the city tower.

Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly arrived in Lingyun Immortal City, the very same immortal city where Su Hongzhi, the sect leader of Lingyun Immortal Palace, had just been.

Su Fan didn't care much about this, and calmly withdrew his gaze, following the flow of people as he slowly stepped into the Immortal City.

As soon as they stepped through the city gate, a wave of lively and noisy atmosphere rushed towards them, and all they could hear were the cheerful laughter and celebratory toasts of the cultivators.

Every corner of the city was filled with a lively and bustling atmosphere.

The shops on both sides of the street are lined up one after another, and every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful banners.

The shop owner and his staff all wore smiles as they greeted customers and chatted quietly about their great victory over the demons, thoroughly enjoying the joy of the triumph.

He found a luxuriously decorated courtyard in the city, paid spirit stones to reserve it, and then, with a flicker of his figure, stepped into his personal secret realm.

Upon entering the secret realm, a pleasant scene immediately comes into view.

The senior sister and others were sitting around a mahjong table in the courtyard in front of the thatched hut, playing mahjong with great interest, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

These women are really carefree. While I'm out there fighting bloody battles and risking my life, they're leisurely enjoying themselves in this secret realm, even having the leisure to play mahjong.

Just then, Li Chongxiu spotted him first. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately dropped the mahjong tiles in her hand and ran over quickly.

She threw herself into his arms, her voice soft and urgent.

"Master...you're back..."

Su Fan gently hugged her, teasing her with a smile, "It's only been a few days, and you already miss your master so much..."

Li Chongxiu blushed and nestled in his arms, murmuring softly, "No... I was just worried about Master..."

At this moment, his senior sister, Gu Qinghuan, and the others also noticed his arrival. They put down their mahjong tiles, walked out of the courtyard, and gathered around him, their eyes full of urgency and concern.

"Su Fan, how's the fighting outside going..."

"Did you...did you hold off the demons' attack? Were you injured?"

"It's only been a few days, why are you back already? Did something happen...?"

Hearing the series of concerned questions from his senior sisters and others, Su Fan felt a warmth in his heart and burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, they were just a bunch of chickens and dogs. I slaughtered them all, wiping them out in no time..."

His senior sister rolled her eyes at him, her tone slightly reproachful.

"We've been worried sick these past few days, and you're still here so indecent, can't you say anything serious..."

Gu Qinghuan gently punched him and asked softly, "Su Fan, stop joking around. How did this battle go..."

Although Li Miaoxue and Wei Xiaomo did not ask any questions, their eyes were filled with unconcealed worry and concern when they looked at him.

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of his fellow Daoists, Su Fan's teasing thoughts instantly vanished.

"Don't worry... the great battle is over. Xuan Guangtian's human race has completely defeated the demon race..."

"Really...that's great..."

"When are we going back after the war is over? Or...?"

"They won so quickly? It's only been a few days, that's amazing!"

Upon hearing the news of the victory, the senior sisters and others were instantly overjoyed. The worry on their faces vanished, replaced by pure delight, and they chattered excitedly, asking questions.

Seeing their joyful expressions, Su Fan's mood also brightened.

"You've come all this way to Xuan Guang Tian, ​​don't rush back. Let's stay here for a few days and explore this immortal city properly..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, the Daoist couples immediately perked up, their faces full of anticipation. They quickly turned around and called out to their families in the secret realm, all eagerly preparing to go out for a stroll.

Those who accompanied Su Fan to Xuan Guangtian this time were all the women and children of his family. They had been preoccupied with the war, but now that they knew of the complete victory, they had no more worries.

The entire portable secret realm instantly became lively, filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.
