Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

"Tian'er, you've been helping me with sect affairs so much, don't you blame me for locking you up in Gouchen Palace and not letting you move around freely?"

"The sect leader has been guarding the main hall of the sect all these years, and I feel extremely guilty. Now that I can help the sect leader with his affairs again, I am overjoyed and would never blame the sect leader."

When questioned by Empress Xuan, Luo Tian answered with a clear conscience.

These words were both sincere and born of helplessness.

His true intention was to accompany Empress Xuan and fill the emptiness that had existed for over thirty years.

Unfortunately, he could not disobey Empress Xuan's decree.

It's better than being locked in a dark room, right?

"As long as it has nothing to do with Tianxuan, Tian'er, you are always so well-behaved and sensible."

Empress Xuan smiled gently.

His eyes were filled with mischief and satisfaction.

"Even regarding Junior Sister Tianxuan's matter, haven't I now obeyed the Sect Master and let it go from now on?"

Luo Tian winked mischievously at Empress Xuan.

"Alright, alright, I'll forgive you and continue to believe what you say."

Empress Xuan was amused by Luo Tian.

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, subconsciously turning her head to the side and gently brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear.

Seeing Empress Xuan's languid demeanor, Luo Tian secretly felt relieved.

It's all the fault of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi who insisted on using him as a shield.

It almost caused him to lose Empress Xuan's trust.

After a period of hard work, I've finally managed to get all the relationship values ​​back.

"Tian'er, I know what you're thinking. You're helping me with the work because you want to see what the Ancient Wilderness Continent has become in the past thirty years."

Empress Xuan pointed out Luo Tian's inner thoughts in a meaningful way.

"What the sect leader says is true, but that's just a side thing. More importantly, this disciple wants to spend more time with the sect leader."

Luo Chuan readily admitted it, and then immediately turned the topic back to Empress Xuan.

This is based on his experience over many years of acting.

Whether there are ulterior motives or not is not important.

The key is whether you put the woman first in your heart.

Even a powerful figure like Empress Xuan was not immune to this.

She didn't hold it against him and, as usual, talked to Luo Tian about the current situation on the Desolate Ancient Continent.

"Tian'er should know that since the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm descended upon the ancient continent, the world has shown signs of revival..."

"During the years you were missing, we joined forces with other sects and holy lands to repeatedly wipe out the Eight Demonic Sects, but unfortunately, they managed to escape into the forbidden zones..."

"The Xuantian Sect was thus revered as the number one sect in the ancient times, but it also became locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Demonic Sect, attracting the attention of various forces..."

"Now, decades have passed, and the cultivation levels of your contemporaries have advanced by leaps and bounds..."

Empress Xuan spoke of it casually.

In fact, Luo Tian had read the sect's records and knew that Empress Xuan had omitted a lot of details.

For example, when the demonic sects were being eradicated, the Xuantian Sect was united in their hatred of the enemy, and even the Empress Xuan personally took action, killing several leaders of the demonic sects.

For example, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovers, the competition among the major sects and holy sites becomes increasingly fierce.

Especially the arrival of the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm several years ago.

Many prodigies received ancient inheritances and went into seclusion to seek breakthroughs.

The Holy Sons of Tian Shu and Kai Yang were also forced into seclusion due to pressure.

"The world is changing, and a great era of strife may soon arrive."

"Sect Master, you can rest assured. Now that I have returned, I will certainly protect everyone in the sect and not disgrace the name of Xuantian Sect."

Luo Tian solemnly promised Empress Xuan.

Empress Xuan shook her head.

A gentle and beautiful smile graced her face.

"Tian'er, it's enough that you have this intention. Now you just need to stay by my side and leave the matter of protecting the sect to me, the sect leader."

……

"So in the end, I'm still stuck here?"

Luo Tian smiled bitterly to himself.

The marriage alliance with Yaochi Holy Land has been delayed, and Empress Xuan has not easily allowed him to show himself.

Recalling what Empress Xuan said, her tone was calm yet left no room for doubt.

Empress Xuan had such a strong desire for control.

He was starting to regret coming back so early.

As the days passed, Luo Tian spent most of his time by Empress Xuan's side, occasionally playing with the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"Senior Brother, why aren't you saying anything? Do you dislike Yao Guang?"

The voice of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang pulled Luo Tian back to reality.

Luo Tian casually replied to the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"How could I dislike it? I was just thinking that while your cultivation has caught up, your combat skills are still lacking."

"Then why don't you just keep protecting them, senior brother?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang clung to Luo Tian's arm and said in a coquettish tone as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Luo Tian chuckled to himself.

"Junior Sister, there will be times when I won't be by your side, and then..."

Why isn't my senior brother by my side?

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang abruptly interrupted Luo Tian's words.

Luo Tian turned his head to look.

Their eyes met those of the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, which remained calm.

"..."

What's causing this feeling of oppression?

Why do I feel pressured by my junior sister?

Luo Tian felt a slight sweat break out on his brow.

"Senior Brother?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang tilted her head.

Luo Tian snapped out of his daze and looked at the innocent and naive appearance of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

He immediately realized that his junior sister must be in adult form now, and a certain part of her body had grown a lot as well.

It put some kind of pressure on his arm.

"Hehe... Junior Sister, your Taoist techniques are too simplistic. You should always have more ways to defend yourself."

As Luo Tian spoke, he took out a jade token from his storage ring.

He handed it to the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"This is a new Divine Firmament Talisman I recently crafted. It's much stronger than the original one, and it can even threaten those in the Void Refinement Realm. Perhaps it can protect you, Junior Sister."

As was ordained, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang left this world at a young age.

Therefore, even now, Luo Tian still feels very sorry for his junior sister and is always worried about her safety.

"Senior brother..."

As the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang accepted the amulet, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She suddenly leaped into Luo Tian's arms.

"Waaaaah... Yaoguang loves her senior brother the most!"

"I like my junior sister too."

Luo Tian smiled and patted the head of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

Unexpectedly at this moment.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang puffed out her cheeks and pouted unhappily.

"Senior brother, I'm serious. I'm not a child anymore!"

"Hehe... I'm serious."

"..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang composed herself.

Suddenly, he seemed to lose interest.

She stepped away from Luo Tian's embrace and glanced at the mysterious amulet at Luo Tian's waist.

"The talisman that Senior Brother is wearing, was it given to him by the Sect Master? The Sect Master always treats Senior Brother the most specially."

"Junior sister, please don't misunderstand. The sect leader treats everyone equally. It's just that I happened to lack a protective magic item, so she gave me the talisman."

Luo Tian went against his conscience to protect Empress Xuan's reputation.

"Is the Sect Master really that good? Senior Brother is always protecting the Sect Master and running to the Sect Master's place every day. Even though the Sect Master has you under house arrest, he still stops me from coming to see you and tells me to stay away from you..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang muttered under her breath, full of resentment.

Luo Tian was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

Empress Xuan was clearly taking the blame for the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang so that he wouldn't be disturbed.

"Junior Sister, don't blame the Sect Master. Blame me, your senior brother."

"..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang fell silent.

She silently took out a talisman from her bosom and tied it around Luo Tian's waist.

"Junior Sister, what's going on?"

"My senior brother gave me a protective charm, so I should also give him a protective charm to protect him."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang hung the amulet on Luo Tian's waist.

It just covered the mysterious talisman.

"Even if it's the sect leader, they won't admit defeat."

Luo Tian felt there was something hidden in what he was saying.

Before he could think further...

Suddenly, Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang simultaneously realized something.

The two of them each took out a token from their storage rings.

This is the Heavenly Token obtained from ascending the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the Heavenly Tower of the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm.

At this moment, the Heavenly Decree was erupting with intense spiritual energy fluctuations.

It echoes a distant location.

Luo Tian understood.

This is a sign of the arrival of the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm.

The problem is, it seems to have come too early compared to the original storyline.

……

At the same time.

All forces on the ancient continent sensed the arrival of the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm.

The contemporary prodigies who possessed the Heavenly Token broke through their barriers and emerged one after another.

Wuji Sword Sect.

The Burial Sword Cliff, which had stood for thousands of years, suddenly collapsed.

A condensed and sharp, terrifying sword intent shot straight into the sky, as if it would cleave the heavens in two.

Wuji Sword Master emerged from the Burial Sword Cliff like a divine sword.

He stood proudly with his head held high, and the soaring sword energy quickly returned to his body.

"Now that I have mastered the swordsmanship and broken through to the Integration Realm, having fully inherited the true essence of the Limitless Swordsmanship, I wonder who else can defeat me?"

"It's a pity that the Xuan Tian Sect's divine son has been dead for many years, otherwise I might have been able to have him test my sword."

The Misty Immortal Sect.

It reappeared from the sea of ​​clouds after many years.

Master Yunyin, with a serene expression, slowly gave his instructions.

"The world is in flux, and fortune is unpredictable. The Emperor's Fall Secret Realm is descending for the last time. The two of you should enter the secret realm once more to seek a glimmer of hope for survival."

"Disciple obeys, and will certainly not fail the sect leader's trust."

The ethereal Daoist and the ethereal fairy bowed respectfully.

Taixu Sacred Land.

The spiritual energy that filled the void continuously converged in a certain direction.

The True Man of Taixu stroked his beard and nodded.

Looking at the Great Void Saint Son who was sitting cross-legged at the source of the spiritual vein.

As the Holy Son of Taixu opened his eyes, a terrifying spiritual pressure erupted, sweeping across the entire world.

He received the inheritance of the Great Emperor Taixu.

They have already become invincible.

Perhaps he should now be called the Divine Child of the Great Void.

Let's look at the Boundless Holy Land again.

The Boundless Divine Child, who also received the Great Emperor's inheritance.

He had none of the airs of a divine being, and chuckled strangely while touching his bald head.

There is also a sacred place of creation.

The Holy Son of Creation and the Holy Daughter of Creation emerged together.

This trip is about seeking opportunities and destiny for each individual.

And deep within the restricted area.

Seven figures gathered in the darkness.

They are the seven demonic sons of the eight sects of the demonic sect.

"The Emperor's Fall Secret Realm is about to open, and everything is just as the Demon Lord predicted. This time, we must accomplish this important task."

"To destroy the Xuantian Sect and completely settle the karmic debts of this sect."

"For this ancient and desolate land!"

At last.

Yaochi Sacred Land.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi sat alone in her boudoir.

On the table was an ancient-looking Tongtian Token and two matching amulets.

She rested her chin on her hand, a smile on her face, her thoughts drifting off somewhere.

"I sent messages to Brother Luo Tian, ​​but I received no reply. I suppose they were all intercepted by Empress Xuan."

In her elegant and refined boudoir, came her soft murmurs to herself.

"However, given Brother Luo Tian's temperament, he certainly won't miss the reopening of the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm this time."

"If fate allows, I will surely meet him again."

Thinking of this.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled.

She revealed an exquisite smile, as if she had descended to earth as a celestial being.
