“You want to see my Fourth Grandfather?”

Mo Changlin was taken aback for a moment, then said, “My Fourth Grandfather is away. He probably won’t be back for another half year. Wait until he returns, and then you can pay him a visit.”

“Half a year?”

Jiang Han’s heart sank. Mo Changlin had no reason to lie about this, so it seemed it really was bad timing.

However, half a year would pass quickly. Waiting half a year was no problem. In this half year, could he find a way to go to the Myriad Stele Forest? Or find other powerful figures from the Great Chiliocosms?

Jiang Han didn’t say anything more, and nodded to Mo Changlin.

Mo Changlin led Jiang Han out, then arranged for an ordinary Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator to handle various procedures and arrangements for Jiang Han.

Jiang Han’s residence was changed again. This time, the treatment was obviously different. The manor he lived in was several times larger, and the number of maids and servants reached over a hundred.

Moreover, he was given the position of Elder, but not an Elder with real power. Currently, it was just a nominal position, the Deputy Hall Master of the Holy War Hall.

The resources and treatment were good. For example, he could freely cultivate in many of the sect's treasure lands. He could enter several top-tier treasure lands for cultivation for a month each year. There were many miscellaneous benefits, fully demonstrating the foundation and magnanimity of a great sect.

After the arrangements were completed, Mo Changlin held a welcoming banquet for Jiang Han.

Three Sect Leaders from the sect came, all powerful figures at the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm. Twelve ordinary Elders came, as well as many of the sect's top young masters and misses.

Mo Changlin gave Jiang Han a fair evaluation, saying that Jiang Han was so young, yet his combat power was comparable to the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm. This was considered a top genius even in the Land of the Gods. Moreover, the combat power of the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm was not weak, and he was a strong person worthy of respect.

During the banquet, Mo Changlin introduced all the powerful figures to Jiang Han, and Jiang Han gained some basic knowledge of most of the sect's powerful figures and young masters and misses.

Leaving aside the Sect Leaders and Elders, Jiang Han was most impressed by one young master and one young miss of the sect.

The young master was the great-grandson of the Sect Master, named Fu Dao, at the third level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, and very young, full of arrogance, and with his nose in the air.

Even though Jiang Han was a powerful figure at the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, he only nodded faintly and didn’t even offer Jiang Han a toast.

The young miss was named Lan Mei, very beautiful. It was unknown what race she was from. She was the granddaughter of another Deputy Sect Master.

Her age was similar to Jiang Han’s, and she had just broken through to the Dao Ancestor Realm not long ago. What made Jiang Han especially impressed was—this was a social butterfly, very good at handling things.

Or rather… she was very good at releasing her charm, liking to make men infatuated with her. Her emotional intelligence and IQ were both very high, and her words were impeccable, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and couldn't help but want to get close to her.

Although her name contained the character 'Mei' (charm), she didn’t exude the kind of charm from the bones like the White Fox race. Instead, her actions and words were very proper and had a sense of boundaries.

Although it was easy to make people feel close, when you really wanted to get close to her, she would give people a feeling of rejecting them from a thousand miles away.

“A very clever girl!”

Jiang Han nodded slightly, but he had no intention of getting close to Lan Mei. There were too many suitors around such a top-tier beauty, and it was easy to attract trouble.

Jiang Han noticed that Fu Dao had some feelings for Lan Mei, but it was very subtle. Perhaps he was too proud to lower himself to actively pursue her?

Every time Lan Mei spoke, Fu Dao's gaze would turn to her, listening attentively. Fu Dao ignored the words of everyone else.

The Sect Master and the two Deputy Sect Masters didn’t show up. Jiang Han knew he wasn’t qualified enough, unless he displayed the power of Hunyuan.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and everyone dispersed. Jiang Han returned to the manor where he lived.

The next day, Jiang Han went to the Holy War Hall to report, after all, he was the Deputy Hall Master here.

The Holy War Hall was the department that managed the sect’s battles. The Hall Master was a Sect Leader at the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm. Jiang Han held a nominal position here, and although he didn’t need to do anything specific, he still needed to report.

The Hall Master was not there, so Gou Yu, a powerful figure at the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm who presided over daily work affairs, received Jiang Han.

He introduced Jiang Han to the situation of the Holy War Hall, what he usually needed to do, and the current situation of the sect.

“Uh…”

After listening for a while, Jiang Han frowned slightly. In recent years, the Haoran Dao had actually been at war with the nearby five-star great power, the Heavenly Dao Gate. Although the great war had stopped, small frictions continued.

“Heavenly Dao Gate? Isn’t that the super power that the White Fox race sent a saintess to?”

Jiang Han was stunned. Bai Weiwei sent a saintess to the grandson of the Heavenly Dao Gate’s master or something? It was very possible that Bai Weiwei and the others had gone to seek refuge with the Heavenly Dao Gate.

If the two great powers went to war in the future, he might encounter Bai Weiwei and the others on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Jiang Han felt a headache. He didn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing. He wasn’t here to develop in the Upper Realm, but to handle matters.

He had no intention of staying in the Haoran Dao all the time, and only wanted to get things done as soon as possible, and then return to the Land of Absolute Zero.

However, in the past two or three years, the Haoran Dao and the Heavenly Dao Gate had not had any particularly fierce wars, because there had been a great war a hundred years ago, and both sides had suffered considerable losses, and had been recuperating in the past century.

“Never mind!”

Jiang Han made up his mind. When Mo Xie returned, he would see if Mo Xie was willing to help. If he was unwilling to help, he would leave the Haoran Dao and look for other paths.

“You’ve just joined the sect!”

Gou Yu said, “You don’t need to rush. First, stay in the sect, and you can look around and inspect the situation of the sect.”

“Later, we will slowly let you take over some of the affairs of the Holy War Hall. If there is war, you may need to lead the team or go to some places to sit in command.”

Jiang Han nodded. Gou Yu arranged for a Holy King to be under Jiang Han’s command, and asked him to take Jiang Han to familiarize himself with the sect.

Jiang Han had nothing to do, so he let this Holy King take him to wander around the sect.

The Haoran Dao was too big, with a lot of territory. There were hundreds of large cities, and there were more than 200,000 disciples.

There were also tens of millions of cultivators in those cities. Some of these cultivators were outer disciples, and some lived here, relying on the protection of the Haoran Dao.

After wandering around some cities, he went to some treasure lands, and finally went to some resource treasure lands and some garrisoned places to inspect.

After wandering for five or six days, Jiang Han went to a treasure land. The spiritual energy here was very rich, and Jiang Han planned to absorb a wave first, to expand the Other Shore Space.

After the Other Shore Space became larger, the defense would increase.

Jiang Han had absorbed it once before in the White Fox Gate, and the Other Shore Space had already grown three or four times larger.

This time, if he absorbed some more and made it even bigger, the defense would definitely increase a lot in the future.

When he was in the Land of Absolute Zero, Yao Ao said that it would take time for a seventh-level Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator to blast open the Other Shore Space, but an eighth-level Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator would only need a few moves.

If the defense could be increased dozens of times, making it difficult for an eighth-level Dao Ancestor Realm cultivator to blast open, at least Jiang Han could hide in the Other Shore Space to avoid danger when he encountered it.

Entering this treasure land, Jiang Han found that the spiritual energy was several times richer than that of the White Fox Gate, and this was a huge basin, several times larger in scope. There were many young cultivators cultivating here, absorbing spiritual energy.

“Start absorbing!”

Jiang Han sensed it and was overjoyed. Only a great sect had such a good place. He had to seize the time to absorb it wildly and let the Other Shore Space improve rapidly!

“Huh?”

As soon as Jiang Han started absorbing, all the cultivators in the entire treasure land were alarmed, because the spiritual energy was constantly flowing towards the palace where Jiang Han was, which was too obvious.

“咻!”

Inside a palace, a graceful figure flew out. Several nearby cultivators saw this figure and saluted, “Greetings, Miss Lan!”

Lan Mei glanced around and turned her gaze to a palace, asking the Holy King who was stationed here, “Which Sect Leader is cultivating in that palace?”
