Ning Yue stared blankly at the desolate mountain in front of him.

After a long pause, he exchanged a glance with Shi Yinghan, whose face was equally blank.

Looking at Ji Liyan in disbelief, he asked, "Senior brother, say that again?"

"This is where we'll be living from now on," Ji Liyan said, quite embarrassed.

As expected, the junior students still felt that this place was too simple.

Ji Liyan pondered to himself, "Should I add something else to make it look less shabby?"

Before us lay a desolate, abandoned hilltop, so abandoned that even grass couldn't be bothered to grow there.

The wind was howling fiercely, producing a terrifying howling sound.

Because of its proximity to the Demon Cave, Ning Yue perceived the area as emanating a faint demonic aura.

An extremely terrifying atmosphere permeated the air...

Three dilapidated thatched houses stood not far away.

Ning Yue also looks like he's on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Yishen was the first to push open the door of the thatched hut.

Several thatched mats were placed on the stone-built bed; if I'm not mistaken, these were probably their beds.

Even Jiang Yishen fell silent: "...We're sharing a room?"

Ji Li said, "Although it can't compare to a sect, I will decorate it later, so please bear with it for now."

It's not that it's inferior! It's that it's incomparable in every way!

Even Yang Fei, who is usually very easygoing, couldn't hold back anymore.

"How about I keep watch for everyone tonight? This place doesn't look like a safe place."

Ji Liyan was deeply moved and patted Yang Fei on the shoulder.

"No need, junior brother. I've already thoroughly explored this area and set up protective barriers around it..."

"We just returned from the lower realm, so everyone should get some rest tonight to prepare for future breakthroughs."

Their cultivation levels are somewhat loose, and breaking through to the next level is just a matter of the next day or two.

In short, it is—

"You don't need to keep watch at night; it's perfectly safe here," Ji Liyan said.

Yang Fei: "..."

"OK."

Song Yishi used a cleaning spell inside the house, cleaning it thoroughly from the inside out and from top to bottom.

Ji Liyan quickly said, "Junior sister, you don't need to trouble yourself. I've already cleaned everything thoroughly and made sure it's spotless."

Although there is no fancy decoration, a clean environment is guaranteed!

Song Yishi stared at the spider web he had just unearthed from a corner and fell into a long silence.

Ji Liyan paused for a moment, then whispered, "They're probably newly married in the last few days..."

Lu Qingyan silently tidied up all the neatly arranged straw mats.

The plan is to distribute the personnel among three thatched huts.

Although the previous conditions of each person having their own courtyard are no longer available, it's still impossible for everyone to live in one house.

Lu Qingyan carried the straw mat out, and Ji Liyan anxiously reached out to stop her, but failed.

A few moments later, Lu Qingyan silently carried the straw mat back exactly as it was.

Ji Liyan said somewhat shyly, "Those two rooms are just frames; they're not habitable yet."

"I was in a hurry to go down and find you, so I quickly settled on a place to stay temporarily, but it's not quite there yet..."

"Indeed, there's nothing we can do about it," Song Yishi said. "Thank you so much, senior brother, for making all the preparations."

Duan Huailin went to help spread out the mats: "Just sleep for a few hours. I've never slept in a room with everyone before."

None of them had this experience, so when they heard it, they found it quite novel.

Lu Qingyan simply divided the room into three areas and then lay down with Ning Yue and Song Yishi.

"Let's rest first, and we'll make the details tomorrow."

This place is far too rudimentary and unsuitable for them to live here long-term.

Let's make do for tonight and renovate this place tomorrow.

Ning Yue lay between Lu Qingyan and Song Yishi, the warm breath coming from them making him feel very at ease.

...which actually made Ning Yue feel sleepy.

In the darkness, rustling sounds could be heard from time to time, the noises of others lying down.

The senior brothers automatically lay down on the outside, their bodies radiating a calming and warm aura.

Ji Liyan frowned slightly.

He glanced around in the darkness and casually tossed out a dim ball of light.

The next instant, the howling wind outside was immediately cut off.

The simple thatched hut was filled with a warm atmosphere.

With steady breathing sounds, Ning Yue quickly fell into a deep sleep.

I slept very soundly.

……

Ning Lian strolled slowly in the cold wind, her gaze falling on the three small thatched huts not far away, and she couldn't help but smile.

He didn't stop and continued walking forward.

Before long, a huge chasm appeared before them.

Not far away is the largest demon cave in the upper realm.

Although it was sealed off along with the Fusang Sect, it was not completely sealed.

The demonic energy here is still very strong, spreading everywhere.

Ning Lian frowned slightly.

In just a thousand years, the seal on the lower realm has loosened again.

However, the loosening of the seal is also inevitable, and Ning Yue will surely have to wipe them out once to complete the tribulation.

When Ning Lian first sealed it a thousand years ago, his strength was still insufficient.

But now, a thousand years have passed, and their strength is no longer what it used to be.

He casually stretched out one hand, and a huge beam of light, almost brighter than dawn, appeared in the sky.

The power of this attack was clearly enough to immediately alarm everyone in the Upper Realm.

Yet, no one noticed what was happening here.

Including the people in the nearest thatched hut.

The sound of steady breathing and the warmth of the air filled the small thatched hut.

The beam of light suddenly surged into the dense demonic energy of the demon cave, completely enveloping the entire cave.

Not a single trace of demonic energy could leak out.

The beam of light gradually shrank and dimmed...

When it completely disappeared, the Demon Cave had been completely sealed away.

Ning Lian clapped his hands, preparing to head to the next place.

After sealing these demonic caves in the upper realm, he would have to return to the immortal realm.

It's unlikely that Ning Yue will come down again before he ascends to heaven.

Ning Lian sighed and took one last look in the direction of the thatched hut.

This is probably the last time I'll see my daughter. I won't see her for a long time afterward, sob sob...

It's okay, it's okay...

……

When I woke up, the weather outside was beautiful, the sun was high in the sky, and I felt no fear of the darkness at all.

Ning Yue frowned and thought for a moment.

The demonic energy that permeated the area last night has completely disappeared?

But I don't have time to think about that right now.

The work began immediately.

—Rebuild the house!

Yang Fei said, "Then each of us should have our own room! Although we've left the Fusang Sect, we're not destitute!"

Okay, one room per person!

Ning Yue: "Even though we've been fasting, we still need to satisfy our cravings occasionally!"

Okay, let's build a vegetable garden! We also need to raise chickens!

Shi Yinghan: "I don't have many daily necessities in my Qiankun Bag, so I'll go down to the mortal realm to buy some."

Okay, he went!

Song Yishi: "We still need a room for seclusion."

Ji Liyan said, "I've dug caves in several nearby mountains; they're very secluded, and after setting up protective barriers, they're perfect for secluded cultivation!"

"...I didn't expect you to have accomplished so much, Senior Brother," Ning Yue exclaimed.

Duan Huailin: "I'll set up arrays and restrictions around the area to prevent others from accidentally entering and discovering us."

Ning Yue tossed a book to Duan Huailin.

This was taken from the consciousness space, and it is definitely more useful than the existing array manuals in the cultivation world.

At first, Duan Huailin didn't understand what was going on, but later he became completely engrossed in watching it.

Using the formations described in the book, they directly raised the security level of their new home by several levels!

Even if Qi Bei himself came here, he probably wouldn't be able to find them.

Ning Yue then carried out several more stacks of very thick books.

He gazed intently in the direction of the Fusang Sect: "Let's study, senior brothers and sisters!"
