Chapter 2874: Chapter 2874: Return to Purple Cloud Star

The Great Might Divine King said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Who knew that young Fang Bai would have such potential? When we first met him, he wasn’t even a Divine King, and now he’s comparable to a Divine Emperor. We can’t judge this kid by ordinary standards."

After a pause, he continued, "I think, with his aptitude, he will eventually become a Divine Emperor. And among the Emperor Realm experts in the Divine Realm, which one doesn’t have many companions? Although it may be due to romantic reasons, sometimes it is also for cultivation needs."

Rongrong understood what her grandfather meant. Fang Bai’s strength was formidable, and his aptitude was extraordinary. Sometimes, one can’t rely solely on cultivation resources to enhance power; cultivating together with companions is also a way to advance.

Therefore, having more like-minded companions, achieving harmony in yin and yang, is even more beneficial to Fang Bai’s cultivation.

And the companions of Fang Bai, including herself, have also received many benefits from cultivating with him.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there are so many companions around Fang Bai.

Rongrong’s previous remark was, of course, just a joke. She would not sever relations with the companions around Fang Bai, even if she didn’t see them as sisters. She wouldn’t make things difficult for Fang Bai by putting him in the middle.

"Alright, Grandpa, let’s not talk about this. I know what to do!"

Rongrong decided not to discuss this issue with her grandfather, the Great Might Divine King, any further.

She found Fang Bai to ask when they could leave this place to return to the Vermilion Phoenix Star and reunite with the gods at the Emperor’s Palace.

Hearing her mention this, Fang Bai also felt it was time to go back and take a look, so he decided to bid farewell to the Green Cloud Sect Leader.

Those who had followed Fang Bai to learn alchemy and divine method secret techniques, the Divine King Realm experts, were reluctant to see him leave.

"Big brother, when will you come back after you leave?"

The Thunder Escape God King asked on behalf of the dozens of Divine Kings.

Fang Bai thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn’t be too long. I hope that by the time I return, you all will have advanced to the Divine Emperor Realm."

At this moment, Fang Bai was thinking about the matter of the Star-Devouring Beast mentioned by the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor earlier. This matter pertains to the safety of the Divine Realm. He hoped that when the time came to confront the Star-Devouring Beast, it wouldn’t just be him but also the Thunder Escape God King and other gods, along with those Divine Emperor Realm experts behind them.

According to the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor, the Star-Devouring Beast is surging fiercely and continuously. Only by mobilizing more Divine Emperor Realm, Divine Emperor Realm experts, and uniting together, is there hope of slaying the Star-Devouring Beast or driving it back into the black hole, returning it to its world.

Fang Bai felt that, as a member of the Divine Realm, he has a responsibility to contribute to the peace of the Divine Realm. Otherwise, even if he cultivates to the supreme realm of immortality, what meaning would it have?

The Thunder Escape God King and dozens of Divine King Realm experts were relieved to hear that Fang Bai would return. They straightened their chests and said in unison, "Big brother, rest assured, by the time you return, we will definitely all be Divine Emperor Realm experts!"

Fang Bai glanced over the faces of the dozens of Divine King Realm experts and asked with a smile, "Then, when I return and need your help, will you refuse?"

The Thunder Escape God King was the first to pat his chest and said, "I won’t refuse! Whoever dares to refuse, it is not big brother, and I, the Thunder Escape God King, will be the first to sever relations with him!"

The other dozens of Divine Kings also said, "We won’t refuse either!"

Fang Bai laughed heartily, "Good, with your words, I can be relieved! As I leave, it could be as short as three to five years, or as long as ten to eight years, but I will surely return!"

Having said this, he waved at the Green Cloud Sect Leader and his son, as well as the dozens of Divine Kings, and, riding the Wind Eagle, flew off with the Great Might Divine King and Rongrong.

Now, the Wind Eagle had grown significantly, over twenty feet long, comparable to a small starship. Its realm and cultivation level had also improved dramatically, comparable to a High Rank Divine King Realm expert, and was a powerful assistant to Fang Bai.

The Wind Eagle spread its wings, spanning thousands of miles in an instant. Its speed was not much slower than Fang Bai, leaving Rongrong and the Great Might Divine King far behind in the dust.

Fang Bai clearly remembered the star route to the Vermilion Phoenix Star and transmitted it into the mind of the Wind Eagle as a thought, so it could fly at high speed without his guidance, following the route in its mind.

Fang Bai, Rongrong, and the Great Might Divine King sat on the Wind Eagle’s broad back. Most of their time was spent in cultivation, sitting cross-legged, occasionally chatting when bored or exchanging divine method secret techniques, making their journey well-spent.

After spending several years on the back of the Wind Eagle, one day, they passed through the Purple Cloud Star System.

Fang Bai was originally the Starlord of Purple Cloud Star. After leaving for training, he entrusted the position of Starlord to several powerful beings in the Sect Leader Mansion for management.

So many years had passed now, and Fang Bai didn’t know what Purple Cloud Star had become, whether the position of Starlord was still managed by the ones he entrusted or had been taken over by other powers.

If the Purple Cloud Star had changed hands, Fang Bai would have no complaints, as there is a rule in the Divine Realm that the position of Starlord is about survival of the fittest, and other powers must not interfere.

Arriving at Purple Cloud Star, Fang Bai, along with the Great Might Divine King and Rongrong, flew off the back of the Wind Eagle and landed on Purple Cloud Star, heading straight for the Starlord Mansion on Purple Cloud Star.

As Fang Bai anticipated, the Starlord of Purple Cloud Star was no longer the ones he had entrusted. They were replaced by a high-rank True God Realm expert.

When Fang Bai initially left Purple Cloud Star, he was not even a Divine Venerable Realm expert. Returning now, he was a high-rank Divine King Realm expert, with power comparable to a Divine Emperor Realm expert. Reflecting on the past and looking at the present, it all seemed like a fantasy.

"Jin Zhong!"

Arriving at the front of the Starlord Mansion of Purple Cloud Star, Fang Bai noticed a familiar figure pacing at the mansion’s entrance and called out.

The expert named Jin Zhong turned upon hearing, and seeing Fang Bai, was both surprised and delighted, exclaiming, "Starlord Fang!"

When Fang Bai left Purple Cloud Star, he entrusted the Starlord Mansion to several experts, Jin Zhong being one of them.

However, when Fang Bai’s Divine Sense swept over Jin Zhong, he noticed his Qi Sea was damaged, seemingly having suffered significant trauma, even causing his cultivation level to fall by a small realm.

"What has happened to you?"

Fang Bai asked, frowning.

Noticing Jin Zhong pacing outside the Starlord Mansion, with a hint of dread in his expression, Fang Bai had a vague idea of what had transpired.

Jin Zhong scrutinized Fang Bai, discovering that he couldn’t discern his cultivation level at all. He saw two figures, one old and one young, standing behind Fang Bai, whose cultivation was equally indiscernible to him, which bolstered his courage.

"I beg Starlord Fang to stand up for me!"

Jin Zhong knelt on the ground with a "thud," pleading desperately.

Fang Bai lifted a hand lightly, saying, "Get up, and speak slowly."

Jin Zhong felt an invisible yet powerful force lifting him up, silently astonished and filled with joy. He knew Fang Bai’s strength had significantly advanced since he left, and thus he recounted the events that had occurred since Fang Bai departed from Purple Cloud Star.
