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

On the seventh day after the founding of the War God Sect, everything was on track.

After the three immortal islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang were merged, Luo Tian redefined the sect regions.

The original disciples of the Three Mountains were integrated and reorganized, and a three-level promotion system of outer sect, inner sect, and true disciple was established.

Tianxuan Zhenren serves as the Grand Elder, in charge of the sect's administrative affairs.

Qingming Zhenren and Fangzheng Zhenren serve as his left and right protectors, assisting in management.

A spiritual bridge has been built between the three immortal islands, allowing disciples to travel freely between them.

Luo Tian arranged for Niannian, Xiaoxiao, Luo Xiaojin, Luo Qiqi, and Luo Qianqian to stay in a separate courtyard on the main island of Penglai.

The villa is located near the core of the spiritual vein, where the spiritual energy is the most concentrated in the entire sect.

The courtyard contains a garden, a pond, and a small bamboo grove.

As soon as Niannian entered the door, she rushed into the bamboo forest, with Luo Xiaojin following behind her. The two chased each other through the bamboo forest.

Luo Qiqi squatted by the pond watching the spirit fish inside. Xiao Xiao stood beside the flower bushes, reaching out to gently touch the petals of a seven-colored flower. The petals shone brightly at her fingertips.

Luo Tian stood at the entrance of the villa, watching the five children making a ruckus in the yard.

After a moment of silence, he called out to them.

"Niannian, Xiaoxiao, come here."

Niannian poked her head out from the bamboo grove, holding a bamboo branch in her hand, and ran over.

Xiao Xiao put down the flowers and slowly walked up to Luo Tian.

Luo Xiaojin, Luo Qiqi, and Luo Qianqian all fell silent and stood in a row, waiting for Luo Tian to speak.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Niannian tilted her head back, her little face flushed from running.

Luo Tian squatted down, looked at Niannian and Xiaoxiao, and reached out to tidy up Niannian's messy hair.

He looked again at her small, light blue eyes and earnestly warned her:

"You all need to cultivate diligently and not be lazy or playful."

In the future, Dad will take you to explore the world of cultivation.

If you can't improve your strength, going there will only be suicide!

"The world of cultivation?"

Niannian blinked, then asked curiously, "Is it bigger than this?"

"It's much, much bigger than here. There's a wider world there, and stronger enemies too."

"You are already very strong now, but you still won't be enough when you get there."

"Then Nian Nian must cultivate diligently!"

Niannian clenched her little fists, her expression turning serious.

"Niannian wants to become even stronger than her father! She'll fight off bad guys!"

Luo Tian's lips curled up slightly as he shifted his gaze from Xiao Niannian to Xiao Xiao:

"Xiaoxiao, you are the same. The Tree of Life within you has enormous potential, but you need to keep breaking through to fully awaken its power."

The little girl nodded obediently.

"Xiaoxiao will definitely cultivate diligently and won't cause any trouble for Dad."

Luo Tian was slightly shocked; this little girl was truly too sensible.

Then, he looked at Luo Xiaojin, Luo Qiqi, and Luo Qianqian:

"The three of you need to work even harder to improve your cultivation."

With your current strength, you're not even as strong as Nian Nian. How will you protect Nian Nian and Xiao Xiao in the future?

During this time, you must work hard to improve your strength, otherwise, I won't take you with me when I go to the cultivation world in the future!

Luo Tian became increasingly stern as he spoke, lamenting that these three divine beasts were becoming more and more unruly.

This won't do; we need to give them a push.

Luo Xiaojin grinned, revealing his little tiger teeth:

"Don't worry, Master, Little Gold will definitely be the best!"

"My cultivation level definitely won't fall behind. As long as my injuries heal a little more, it'll be a piece of cake, won't it?"

Luo Tian glared at him; this guy was getting more and more unreliable.

I went crazy with Xiao Nian Nian and completely let loose.

Looking at Luo Tian's eyes, Luo Qiqi was a little timid, and obediently nodded.

Luo Qianqian bowed slightly, indicating that she would work even harder in her cultivation.

Luo Tian stood up, his gaze lingered on the children's faces for a moment, and then he turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Niannian took two steps after him: "Daddy, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to take care of some errands, I'll be right back."

Niannian wanted to follow, but Luo Xiaojin grabbed her arm.

"Our master said he'll be back soon, so let's wait for him."

Niannian looked at Luo Tian's departing figure, then at Luo Xiaojin, and finally stood still with a pout.

……

In the council hall, Luo Tian sat in the main seat.

Tianxuan Zhenren, Qingming Zhenren, and Fangzheng Zhenren stood on either side.

The three stood with their hands at their sides, their expressions respectful.

There were no other disciples inside the hall, and the doors and windows were tightly closed, preventing any prying eyes from entering.

"Elder."

Luo Tian spoke, his voice calm.

"I have a question for you."

"Please speak, Master."

Master Tianxuan quickly stepped forward.

Why did Earth's spiritual energy deplete? What exactly happened back then?

Master Tianxuan remained silent for a moment.

He had lived for thousands of years and pondered this question repeatedly, but he never found the answer.

Now that Luo Tian had asked, he knew he could no longer give vague answers.

"My lord, all I know are fragments of information passed down through generations."

Master Tianxuan cupped his hands in greeting.

"It is said that a long time ago, a powerful being at the level of an Immortal Emperor descended to Earth."

No one knows what he did, but from then on, the spiritual energy on Earth began to decrease rapidly.

The initial changes were not obvious, but after a thousand years, the spiritual energy had thinned to seven or eight tenths.

And then, it became what it is today.

"An Immortal Emperor?" Luo Tian frowned slightly. "Do you know which one?"

Master Tianxuan shook his head:

"The name is not recorded in ancient books."

All that is known is that after that Celestial Emperor descended, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and the mountains and rivers changed color.

There are legends that he was sealing something, and others that he was taking something away.

However, opinions vary, and nothing is certain to this day.

Luo Tian was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Did the Three Mountains lose contact with the cultivation world after that?"

"Yes." Master Tianxuan nodded.

"After the spiritual energy was depleted, the passage connecting the cultivation world gradually became unstable and eventually closed completely."

From that point on, the Three Mountains severed ties with the cultivation world, confined to Earth, and each generation became weaker than the last.

Luo Tian didn't press further. He stood up and glanced at the three of them:

"I'm going out for a while. You all keep an eye on the sect and protect Nian Nian and the others."

"Where is Master going?" Master Fangzheng couldn't help but ask.

"On the Moon".

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

The moon? That's a place beyond the heavens; very few people have ever been there throughout history.

No one even considered going there, because it was too desolate, practically a wasteland.

Luo Tian offered no explanation, and with a flicker, he vanished from the hall.
