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

Luo Tian sat cross-legged on the blue stone, the dark gold crystal in his palm trembling incessantly, pulsating as if it were alive.

He did not immediately probe with his divine sense, but first raised his eyes and scanned the crowd around him who were on high alert.

"Don't worry, he can't get here."

Luo Tian's voice was calm, yet it carried a calming power like a pillar of strength.

"Although this mark was left by him, it is now in my hands."

His desire for "dialogue" was merely a test of my true intentions, and... whether this mark was truly out of control.

He paused, then looked at Niannian:

"Niannian, you hold the sword to protect me. You don't need to make a move. Just let out a faint trace of your Chaos Dao Body aura."

Jin Wuming is most sensitive to the aura of chaos; this lets him know that I am not alone.

"Yes, Dad!"

Niannian immediately responded, her small hand gripping the Morning Dew Sword. The Chaotic Nine-Leaf Lotus within her body trembled slightly, and a wisp of extremely weak, yet powerful, chaotic aura, enough to make cultivators of the same level sway, spread from her body, which she carefully controlled within a zhang radius around her.

Luo Tian then slowly closed his eyes, and a wisp of condensed divine thought, almost tangible, carefully probed into the dark gold crystal in his palm.

Inside the chip, there is not a physical space, but a distorted "channel" composed of countless cyclical runes.

As soon as Luo Tian's divine sense entered, he felt a chilling, resentful, yet arrogant and majestic aura surging in from the other end of the channel like a tide.

"Hehehe... Luo Tian, ​​I knew there was something fishy about you keeping this mark!"

The thought resonated directly within Luo Tian's divine sense; it was Jin Wuming's voice, though it sounded somewhat distorted due to the transmission channel, yet the smugness and chilling intent within it could still be discerned.

"You have indeed refined it! Unfortunately, no matter how thoroughly you refined it, this channel was ultimately opened by me! Since you dared to probe it with your divine sense, don't even think about escaping unscathed!"

As this thought arrived, a power of reincarnation containing a rich aura of immortal laws, following the path of the Dao, attempted to erode Luo Tian's divine sense in reverse!

This power far exceeds the limit of the peak Earth Immortal in the cultivation world. If Luo Tian's divine sense had not been so strong and he had not been prepared, he would probably have been severely injured in an instant!

"A trivial skill."

A disdainful snort came from Luo Tian's divine sense.

He did not confront the power of reincarnation head-on. Instead, with a thought, the mark inside the chip that had been contaminated and transformed by the Phoenix True Fire suddenly lit up!

A fiery, domineering, yet vibrant phoenix fire surged in the opposite direction along the channel, forcefully repelling and purifying the eroding power of reincarnation!

"What?! Phoenix True Fire?! You actually let that little phoenix make a move?!"

Jin Wuming felt a surge of surprise and anger, clearly not expecting Luo Tian to be so decisive, directly using a method to suppress the power of reincarnation.

"Jin Wuming, enough with the nonsense."

Luo Tian's divine sense was calm and indifferent, like unchanging ice.

"You went to great lengths to imprint this cycle of reincarnation mark, and then impatiently sent your thoughts, all to confirm whether the mark is under my control, and... to test the limits of my strength in this realm."

Now that you've confirmed it, what's next?

On the other end of the channel, Jin Wuming seemed to be silent for a moment, then that sinister laughter rang out again:

"Luo Tian, ​​you are still as arrogant as ever! I have confirmed that although this mark has been corrupted by you, the channel remains."

Since you dare to accept it, then I will tell you that the Seven-Colored Illusion Orchid is one of the keys to unlocking the 'Secret Treasury of Reincarnation'. Since your daughter has obtained it, it is equivalent to accepting this cause and effect!

Within this secret treasure are things I need, and also... some 'memories' you lost in the Immortal Realm back then.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the orchid, and I might allow you and your daughter to share in the spoils once the secret treasure is opened. Otherwise..."

That thought suddenly turned cold, carrying an undisguised threat:

"Otherwise, I will make this cultivation world a complete cycle of reincarnation!"

Your little pets, and these ants from the Fang family, will never be reincarnated!

"Threatening me?"

In Luo Tian's divine sense, that chill instantly transformed into a tangible killing intent, causing the channel to tremble slightly even across the world barrier.

"Jin Wuming, you still like to bluff."

The secrets of reincarnation? My lost memories? Ha... You think you can make me compromise with these illusory things?

He paused, a hint of reminiscence and indifference conveying in his thoughts:

"When have I, Luo Tian, ​​ever needed anyone to give me my things?"

I will retrieve my memories myself; I don't need you to hypocritically 'provide' them.

As for the Seven-Colored Illusion Orchid… since it has already recognized Nian Nian as its master, then it is my daughter's destiny. If you want to take it, feel free to try. However, I must remind you of something…”

Luo Tian's divine sense suddenly became as sharp as a sword:

"I call the shots in this cultivation world."

I can corrupt your channel once, and I can corrupt it a second time.

The next time you send this message, you'll probably receive not my voice, but rather Nannan's "greeting."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian gave Jin Wuming no chance to reply and abruptly withdrew his divine sense!

At the same time, the phoenix mark inside the chip in the palm suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, completely blocking and contaminating the entire channel!

On the other end of the channel, only Jin Wuming let out an angry yet unwilling groan before the connection was completely severed.

Luo Tian opened his eyes. The chip in his palm had returned to calm, but the dark gold color on its surface seemed to have deepened.

He looked up at the crowd watching him nervously, his tone remaining calm:

"It's alright. Jin Wuming tried to test me and said a few harsh words, but I shut him down."

"Master, what secret treasure did that old dog mention?"

Xiao Jin couldn't help but ask, his face full of indignation.

"Trying to threaten us? You're asking for it!"

"It's nothing but petty scheming."

Luo Tian said calmly, briefly recounting Jin Wuming's explanation of the "Secret Treasury of Reincarnation" and "Memory," before looking at Nian Nian.

"Niannian, how much did you hear?"

After thinking for a moment, she said seriously:

"Dad, I heard that nasty old man's voice. It's so annoying."

He talked about "keys" and "memories," but I felt... he was lying.

I don't want to give him my orchids.

"Yes, he is indeed lying, or at least not entirely true."

Luo Tian nodded, a profound look flashing in his eyes. "The so-called 'Secret Treasury of Reincarnation' may be real, but it is definitely not as simple as he described."

As for 'memories'... Hmph, how could he possibly control the memories I've lost?

He brought these things up only to unsettle me and make me hesitate to act rashly.

He stood up, put away the chip, and swept his gaze across the crowd with an undeniable determination:

"However, two things can be confirmed after this incident."

First, Jin Wuming is determined to obtain the Seven-Colored Illusionary Orchid, and his subsequent actions will only increase, not decrease.

Secondly, his power in this realm is weaker than I anticipated; otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to such a clumsy method of transmitting messages across distances, nor would he have immediately severed ties after suffering a loss.

"Therefore, we need to be more careful and more proactive going forward."

Luo Tian looked towards the northwest horizon. "Since he mentioned this 'Secret Treasury of Reincarnation,' it is worth investigating."

And his other hidden "chess pieces" in this world also need to be found one by one. "Little girl."

"Yes, Master." Nannan stepped forward.

"Your senses are the most acute. From now on, pay close attention to the depths of the earth's veins and the lingering aura of reincarnation in this world."

"Report any abnormalities immediately," Luo Tian instructed.

"yes!"

"Little Jin, your dragon might can deter villains. From now on, patrol the area within a hundred miles of the valley every day. If any unknown aura intrudes, do not ask for permission, just drive it away."

"Yes, Master! Don't worry!" The little golden dragon's eyes shone brightly; it finally had something to do.

"Qianqian, your illusion network needs to be further improved. It should not only defend against external threats, but also be able to mislead internal ones."

Jin Wuming is cunning and unpredictable; we must guard against his silent infiltration.

"Yes, Master."

After making the arrangements, Luo Tian's gaze finally fell on Nian Nian, and he reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Niannian, you have made great progress in your understanding of orchids and sword intent recently. Keep it up."

Although the cultivation world is not peaceful, it is also a good place for you to temper your Dao heart.

Remember, no matter how turbulent the outside world may be, your resolve must remain firm, and your true nature must not change.

"Yes, Dad! I understand!"

She nodded vigorously, her little face full of determination.

The wind in the valley seemed cooler than usual, but the hearts of everyone in the courtyard were at ease because of Luo Tian's arrangements.

A battle of wits with a powerful enemy from the celestial realm ended in a complete victory for Luo Tian in the first round.

But everyone knew that Jin Wuming would not give up so easily; even bigger storms were yet to come. And they were prepared.
