The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

Upon returning to the sect, Luo Tian's first task was to reinforce the sect's protective formation.

The cultivation level at the peak of the Integration stage is dozens of times stronger than that at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage.

The formations that were set up before are now full of flaws in Luo Tian's eyes.

He stood atop the sect's main peak, his hands forming a hand seal. The Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed, transforming into a hundred-foot-long golden ray that pierced the void.

The foundation of the formation was recast, and all 108 formation flags were taken out and reforged.

This time, he used the spirit wood from the small world to refine 360 ​​array flags, which corresponded to the number of the heavens.

The banners were covered with runes, each rune containing the power of a peak-level fusion cultivator.

"Sect Protection Formation—Activate!"

Three hundred and sixty battle flags flew in all directions, disappearing into various nodes of the seven mountain peaks.

Golden light rose from the ground, weaving into a huge light curtain that enveloped the entire mountain gate.

Runes flowed across the light screen, radiating a chilling pressure.

Cultivators below the peak of the Void Refinement stage cannot even enter the first array gate.

Even a powerful cultivator at the Integration Stage would have to pay a heavy price to forcefully break the formation.

"Spirit Gathering Array - Upgraded!"

Luo Tian raised his hand and extracted a small spiritual vein from the small world.

The spiritual vein, like a giant silver dragon, was extracted by Luo Tian with great magical power and cast into the underground of the Zhan Tian Sect.

As the spiritual vein entered the earth, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire mountain gate surged, changing from thick to viscous.

The air is filled with a misty, refreshing quality; just one breath makes you feel invigorated.

The vegetation on the mountain peaks grew at a visible rate, flowers bloomed, and spiritual fruits hung from the branches.

On the training ground, the outer disciples who were cultivating opened their eyes one after another, their eyes filled with surprise.

"The spiritual energy is so dense! I feel like my cultivation speed has doubled!"

"No, it's double! My bottleneck has loosened!"

"Long live the Sect Master! Long live the Battle Heaven Sect!"

The Spirit Gathering Array, combined with the spiritual veins, brought the spiritual energy concentration of the Battle Heaven Sect to an astonishing level.

One year of cultivation here is equivalent to ten years outside.

Luo Tian then opened another passage within the small world, allowing the spiritual energy of the small world to exchange with that of the Zhan Tian Sect.

The spiritual energy in the small world was already abundant, and now it is continuously flowing into the sect.

The disciples' cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds every day.

Of the forty-nine outer disciples, ten have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest have all reached the late Qi Refining stage.

Although Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng did not break through in their cultivation levels, their foundations became more solid.

Zhao Jianhua stood at the edge of the training ground, watching all this, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He was once the president of Wanbao Auction House, and was considered a prominent figure in the secular world.

But after arriving at the Battle Heaven Sect, he truly understood what it meant to be out of reach of others.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is more than ten times stronger than where he cultivated before.

"Elder Zhao, what are you still daydreaming about? Master wants you to go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique."

Li Mengmeng walked over, her tone calm but not disrespectful.

"Yes, Second Senior Sister."

Zhao Jianhua quickly cupped his hands in greeting and strode towards the Sutra Repository.

He is now the outer sect elder of the Zhan Tian Sect, although his cultivation level is only slightly higher than that of the newly recruited disciples in the sect.

Luo Tian gave him the opportunity to switch to cultivating immortality techniques, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

He knew that with his previous cultivation level, he wasn't even qualified to be Luo Tian's servant.

Only by diligently cultivating can one keep up with the master's pace.

Nourished by the rich spiritual energy, Ye Qianxue's Ice and Fire Phoenix Body exhibited increasingly obvious extraordinary phenomena.

As she meditated cross-legged, the phantom of the ice and fire phoenix behind her almost solidified into a tangible form.

Its left wing is ablaze with flames, its right wing is frosty, and its phoenix eyes radiate intelligence.

Li Mengmeng's sword-nurturing gourd absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, which improved the quality of all eighty-one spiritual swords by a level, making their sword light even more dazzling.

Xiao Niannian's chaotic little world operates automatically, constantly absorbing spiritual energy.

Although her cultivation level was already at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, her foundation was still being continuously strengthened.

Luo Tian said that the small world inside her body was in balance with her cultivation level. As long as she accumulated steadily, breaking through to the Fusion stage would be a natural outcome.

Xiao Xiao cultivated alongside Niannian. The elves had a special physique, allowing them to absorb spiritual energy much faster than humans.

In just a few days, she had already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage, and the wings on her back became even more crystal clear.

She sat beside Niannian, her long, silvery-white hair swaying gently in the spiritual energy, her light blue eyes like two sapphires, focused and earnest.

"That girl is amazing!"

Little Niannian clapped her hands.

"Niannian is even more powerful."

She smiled shyly.

The two little girls were inseparable, cultivating together, playing together, riding dragons together, and feeding qilin together.

The little Qilin squatted at their feet, looking up at its two young masters.

Little White squatted to the side, its fox eyes full of tenderness.

The little golden disc rested on Niannian's shoulder, its dragon eyes slightly narrowed, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

The entire sect was thriving and prosperous.

On this day, Luo Tian took out an invitation from his storage ring.

Upon opening the invitation, four characters were written on it: "念念生辰" (Nian Nian's birthday).

In three days, it will be Xiao Nian Nian's fifth birthday.

He had been with Niannian for less than a year since returning from the celestial realm.

So much has happened this year.

Battle of Dragon Lake, exploration of secret realms, expeditions to the border, founding of a sect.

Niannian transformed from a little beggar with missing limbs into a princess riding a dragon, a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, and finally, the Princess of Pingnan of China.

"We should give her a proper birthday celebration."

Luo Tian picked up a pen and wrote down the names one by one on the invitations.

Saint, Old Zhao, Li Zhendong, Li Zhiguo, Li Zhijun, Ye Bei, Ye family members...

Also, all the disciples of Zhan Tian Sect and outstanding students of Huaguo Martial Arts Academy.

He thought for a moment and then added a few more people to the invitation.

Several high-ranking members of the Dragon Group, and those who had helped him in the past.

Being grateful and repaying kindness is his principle in life.

The invitation sent out caused a nationwide sensation.

"Princess Pingnan is having a birthday celebration! The Guardian Immortal Master is sending out invitations everywhere!"

"Even saints will go! The whole nation will celebrate!"

"I've heard that the Battle Heaven Sect is located deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, like a fairyland. Now I'll finally be able to see it with my own eyes!"

Those who didn't receive an invitation inquired through various channels about whether they could attend and join in the fun.

After Luo Tian learned of this, he asked Ye Qianxue to pass on a message:

The sect's space is limited and cannot accommodate too many people.

However, on Niannian's birthday, the sect will broadcast it live, and people all over the country can watch it through the live stream.

As soon as the news broke, major platforms began vying for exclusive live streaming rights.

Finally, the emperor intervened and ordered the official platform to broadcast the event live, allowing the entire nation to celebrate Princess Pingnan's birthday together.
