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

Half a day later, the battlefield was almost completely cleared.

Most of the corpses of the ancient remnants turned into dust on their own after the spiritual energy dissipated.

All that remained on the ground were cracks and scorch marks, with a few artifacts, their spiritual energy depleted, scattered among the rubble.

The disciples gathered up anything still usable, categorized and registered it, and put it into storage bags.

Niannian also picked up a few small stones that had been burned by the high temperature. They had smooth edges and were semi-transparent. She picked out three stones of different colors and put them in her pocket.

The direction that those who escaped the net finally fled to has been confirmed.

On a high ground on the western side of the battlefield, traces of a spatial tear remain, and the spiritual energy fluctuations at the edge have not completely dissipated, indicating that someone had opened a passage.

Master Tianxuan led a team to inspect the area and confirmed that the passage led to the cultivation world.

Because the aura left behind was significantly different from the local spiritual energy of Earth, it carried a suppressed quality.

"Sect Master, they've escaped."

Tianxuan Zhenren stood at the edge of that high ground and turned around to bow to Luo Tian.

"They must have been the last group, not many of them, and they've already left."

Luo Tian nodded. He stood at the edge of the battlefield, looking at the high ground. The cracks had closed, leaving no trace.

But he knew that the other side of the passage was the cultivation world, the place where Jin Wuming's second step plan was located, and where the souls of his parents and lover were also.

He withdrew his gaze and turned to walk back.

Niannian followed behind Luo Tian, ​​and after walking for a while, she looked up and asked:

"Dad, those people went to the cultivation world. Should we go there to find them too?"

"Um."

"When are we going?"

"Once things stabilize here."

Niannian said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.

She lowered her head and took a few steps, then kicked a small stone, which rolled a few times and came to rest by the roadside.

After walking for a while longer, she said:

"I just picked up a red stone."

She took it out of her pocket and showed it to Luo Tian.

"Dad, look, doesn't this color look like the color Luo Nannan had when she turned into a phoenix?"

Luo Tian glanced down and saw a dark red line along the edge of the stone:

"Yes, it does look very similar."

Niannian put it back in her pocket with satisfaction:

"Then keep it."

Over the next few days, the sect spent most of its time on wrapping things up.

The disciples repaired the formation, cleaned up the battlefield, and recorded the casualties.

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng placed two lists on Luo Tian's desk: one listing battle losses and the other listing promotions.

After the spiritual energy was restored, the disciples' cultivation speed generally increased, and the number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators was higher than before.

After reviewing the list, Luo Tian put it back on the table without making any comments, only saying:

"Promote those who are eligible."

Xiao Jin spent most of the past few days sleeping; he slept for two consecutive days after transforming back into human form.

I only woke up once to eat a meal, and then fell asleep again.

Luo Nannan's wings grew new feathers the next day, and she squatted on the tree in the yard for the whole morning.

Niannian's daily routine recovered quickly; every morning she would go to the well to check the ant box first thing.

The ants are still there, but their pace of moving has slowed significantly, and there is less debris piled up in the box than before.

After looking at it for a while, she moved the box to a cooler spot under the eaves.

One morning two weeks later, Luo Tian stood at the entrance of the council hall and addressed the crowd:

"We will set off in three days for the cultivation world."

The news spread quickly, and Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng arrived at Sanshan Island that afternoon to confirm the handover with Luo Tian.

Zhao Jianhua rushed over from Zhantian Sect, bringing a list of supplies for Luo Tian, ​​saying that the sect's inventory was enough for several years and no additional replenishment was needed.

A final message arrived from the Sage's side, containing only one sentence:

"Don't worry about things on Earth."

On the morning of our departure, it was still dark.

A large crowd gathered in front of the gate of Sanshan Island. The disciples stood on both sides of the main road, watching the group of people who were about to depart walk out of the gate.

Luo Tian was walking at the front, his robes more formal than usual.

Niannian followed behind, wearing that light blue coat with bulging pockets containing the three stones.

Xiao Xiao walked beside Niannian, carrying a small cloth bag on her back.

Inside were several herbs she had brought from her small world, intending to take them to the cultivation world to compare their medicinal properties.

Behind them were Xiao Jin and Luo Nannan. Xiao Jin walked slowly with her hands in her pockets.

Luo Nannan walked beside him, her golden eyes flashing briefly in the morning light before dimming again.

Qiqi and Qianqian followed behind. Qiqi was holding a box in her hands, and the ants were still inside. She had already checked several times.

The Venerable Drywood walked at the very back, his steps still unhurried.

Luo Tian paused in front of the mountain gate for a moment, then strode forward, and the others followed.

After walking out of the mountain gate, Niannian looked back and saw that the outline of Sanshan Island was still clear in the morning mist.

The disciples stood on both sides of the main road without dispersing, their shadows stretching long in the morning light.

She turned around and caught up with the group ahead.

The morning mist gradually thinned, and light began to spread from above the sea, bathing everyone in a golden glow.

So sacred, so magnificent...
