Not many places had survived after being exposed to the effects of the Celestial Emperor Sword attack.

Previously, the territory in the Three Empires had been chaotic, the land and trees were badly damaged, many houses were destroyed and became pieces.

Now, the damage was increasingly due to the Celestial Emperor Sword. In fact, Xiao Shuxiang had only swung it once.

The Celestial Emperor Sword was actually unable to be held, but Xiao Shuxiang was able to sense the weight of the sword with his own hands.

There was no significant difficulty when he wore it, this happened because the Celestial Emperor Sword was not a weapon, but an Elf World peg whose job was to sustain the world so as not to shake.

In his first life, Xiao Shuxiang could have used the Celestial Emperor Sword to destroy the Eastern Continent. But he doesn't want to do it.

The reason Xiao Shuxiang was simple, he would not be able to feel any pleasure in a fight when wearing the Celestial Emperor Sword. Obviously, he would win.

Xiao Shuxiang did not want that, he liked the fight where he could die. The feeling when there was no hope for life made him flutter, it was an unbearable taste.

For warriors, they aspire to reach the top, cultivate to become immortal, possess powers that match the gods, receive praise, praise, and praise, even the respect of the humans kneeling under their feet.

When you reach the highest place.. The scent of arrogance will begin to feel thick.

There Xiao Shuxiang was, he would snatch away everything the cultivators had achieved and throw it away like trash.

It was nice to see someone dubbed the greatest cultivator be under the feet of a slacker like Xiao Shuxiang.

When did he ever practice martial arts? All of the battle techniques he had obtained came from his struggle with the Demonic Beast as well as his fight in the Life and Death Arena, even then he did in his first life.

Xiao Shuxiang was only armed with two Breathing Techniques, his Fire Phoenix Dantian, and his mediocre intelligence. Aahs.. Right, he's crazy too.

Being educated since childhood in a place full of madness like the Life and Death Arena, he said, Xiao Shuxiang recorded the name as the most sane cultivator who was so crazy as to slash the necks of his own two parents and assume their bodies would grow back.

".. Indeed he thought his parents were starfish that could grow body parts after being slashed?! Ck ck, it deserves him a lot of trouble. He's been too disobedient to the old man,"

Tianqi Mao had not thought through hearing the story about Xiao Shuxiang from Shuai Niao. This beautiful woman told of the first life Xiao Shuxiang knew.

Naturally, the story was only limited to Xiao Shuxiang's childhood and life in the Black Stream region. Shuai Niao and Tianqi Mao were unaware of both the Demon World and the Elf World that Xiao Shuxiang had visited.

Tianqi Mao and Shuai Niao were still on the Refugee Island together with the humans rescued from the Eastern Continent.

Both of them enjoy the sunset while feeling the waves and the comfort of the sea breeze. Shuai Niao could see cultivators like Zong Ming, Ying Liu, Nie Shang, and Siu Yixin who seemed to be catching fish for their dinner later.

While these two Xiao Shuxiang host families were still conversing.. A young girl of about 21 years old in brown clothes approached the two. She was apparently Shuai Niao's servant who was reporting that it was time for her Miss to take a bath.

"Little cat, come on. We can continue while taking a bath together,"

Shuai Niao stood up and slightly raised her slightly sagging clothes on the right shoulder, her milky-white smooth skin too dear to be perfectly covered.

"Listen, even though I look like a girl. But I'm actually a man, you know.. Don't be fooled,"

Tianqi Mao played the fan in his hand and smiled wryly as he felt Shuai Niao had been fooled by her adorable look.

Just look, Tianqi Mao looks like a 9-year-old, She is dressed like a kimono, but with a skirt to the knees that expands like a flower.

Her clothes are black with a blue butterfly motif, a large ribbon decorating her head next to her long hair.

Don't ask about his face, Tianqi Mao was too adorable to the point that Xiao Shuxiang had to try to cover up his desire to pinch and kiss Tianqi Mao's gaunt cheeks.

He actually liked cats very much, and Xiao Shuxiang liked to continue playing with Lan Xiao because the Moon Tiger was just like a big cat to him.

Perhaps because this was also Xiao Shuxiang could not stand water, he would at least like it if he had to deal with lakes and oceans. In fact, Tianqi Mao who was a Demonic Beast in the form of a cat even looked mediocre.

Shuai Niao smiled and said in knowing that Tianqi Mao was a man, which was why he took her to take a bath together.

".. Don't tell.. You fooled my face..?"

?!

Tianqi Mao flinched when he heard Shuai Niao's voice that was so manly, not like before that it was so gentle and seductive.

He was completely fooled by the look of the woman who was the owner of this biggest brothel in the Middle Sun Empire.

Tianqi Mao clucked as he shook his head slowly, he then walked over and started following Shuai Niao from behind.

Elsewhere, Xiao Shuxiang seemed to be staring at every cultivator sitting on the ground and trying to calm themselves down.

These cultivators still looked dazed, their bodies were limp, and some were too heavy to move.

Xiao Shuxiang did not take any action to help them, as this was all normal.

Their bodies had just been formed from life energy because they had previously been destroyed when Xiao Shuxiang killed Wyvern with the Celestial Emperor Sword.

Right now, it could be said that the souls of the humans that Xiao Shuxiang saw were trying to get used to their respective bodies.

Xiao Shuxiang then turned his gaze around, he then exhaled softly while muttering that it would take a lot of time for the three Empires to return to their normal state.

".. I can no longer stay in this place, they will come and definitely find me. A commotion could have occurred if I refused to come with them. Haaah.. Tsk, though I no longer want to deal with that pointy-eared creature,"

Xiao Shuxiang again let out a heavy breath. He had just been protecting a continent that he wanted so badly to destroy. His dream seemed to have passed before him.

He was now in no mood to destroy the Eastern Continent anymore. Who wants to make a mess of the place you've been working so hard to protect? Xiao Shuxiang would certainly not do it.

"Tsk, I lost my life purpose. If I don't have a reason to return, it's likely that I can stay forever in the Elven World. Hiya.. I don't want to, that place is so scary. Too sacred for a commoner like me.."

Xiao Shuxiang became creepy himself. He would not be able to go anywhere if he stayed in the Elf World, his clothes would always be arranged and he would have to continue sitting on the throne of majesty alone without any friends to talk to.

Just imagining it already made him want to dig a hole and bury himself in it. The Demon World was clearly better, there Xiao Shuxiang was free to do anything including challenging his adoptive uncle Wu Yu to a fight.

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched as Zhou Yan touched his shoulder so suddenly. He was too caught off guard to realize the Alchemist was beside him.

"Chairman Three, you surprised me,"

"I've been calling you since, you're the one who didn't hear. What are you thinking, boy?"

Xiao Shuxiang only smiled awkwardly in response, he had no intention of telling Zhou Yan about what he was thinking, nor was he willing to lie.

"Chairman Three, you seem interested in my life. Maybe you're starting to like me? I'm sorry, Elder, even if you look stunning, but I'm not a bullshit lover,"

Plaque!

Xiao Shuxiang groaned as Zhou Yan slapped his butt hard. He nagged the son of his senior for daring to do this kind of thing to him.

".. Don't you know who I am? You should've called me 'Uncle', you know?!"

"You dare to speak disrespectfully to me. Look how old you are right now, is it worth a kid like you to call 'Uncle', huh?!"

Zhou Yan pulled Xiao Shuxiang's right cheek furiously. This young man was a friend as well as the one who had killed his father in the past. Even so, he had absolutely no grudge against Xiao Shuxiang.

Zhou Yan then removed his pinch and told the young man beside him to start repairing this place.

Xiao Shuxiang initially protested because this mess was not just his act, but in the end he obeyed Zhou Yan's remark.

He then walked around to look for Lan Guan Zhi, his friend apparently helping another cultivator whose feet were trapped in a crack in the ground.

Lan Guan Zhi was still wearing the Universal Bracelet, Xiao Shuxiang asked him to take out the cultivators as well as warriors who had recovered in order to help them repair the severely damaged imperial territory.

Once in a flutter, the cultivators including Ling Qing Zhu, the patriarch of the Heaven Sword Sect, Sim Hi Ji and the others had come out of the Universal Bracelet.

They were shocked to see the state of this place, some did not even believe their current location was still in the Eastern Continent.

Xiao Shuxiang did not care about the reactions of the cultivators from the three streams in front of him. Using a bit of Qi to make his voice clear, he said he needed the help of all of them.

".. You need to know, your life is mine. So, there's no reason for you to refuse my request,"

!!

They were given the best quality pills, the best herbs, even allowed to absorb some spirit pearls by Xiao Shuxiang's two little blue flames.

This kind of care and protection is certainly not free. I'm sorry, but Xiao Shuxiang is not a generous cultivator. He obviously really likes money, his hard work certainly has to be paid.

And right now, the entire cultivator in the Eastern Continent had just owed him a lot. Even the humans on Protection Island along with Tianqi Mao and Shuai Niao once, they had all been indebted to Xiao Shuxiang.

".. I sacrificed my freedom to protect you. Otherwise, where would I take out the Celestial Emperor Sword and finish off that annoying dragon in one strike, huh! I am not a fool, now the Eastern Continent is mine.."

The cultivators looked at each other when they saw Xiao Shuxiang smiling to himself while several times praising himself 'Overwhelming'.

Although the words of the young man in front of them had been a little late, but there was a point. The pills and herbs they consumed were extremely expensive treasures.

Never had these cultivators seen any thousand year old herbs flourishing in one place. Moreover, the pills they consumed had absolutely no side effects even though it felt a little strange from most pills they had ever consumed.

Of course, because the pill made by Xiao Shuxiang has a variety of flavors. Starting from the taste of oranges, lotuses, plums, until sweet powder. Only Xiao Shuxiang was an Alchemist whose homemade pills felt like candy.

From the pills they consumed, some cultivators were convinced that the Three Goods Pill they had once purchased was made by this young cultivator.

"Lan Zhi, take out some Demonic Beasts as well. We need more help,"

Lan Guan Zhi again flicked his hand, there were about thirty different kinds of Demonic Beasts including Lan Xiao who came out of the Universal Bracelet.

They looked very docile to Xiao Shuxiang. Whereas before, this Demonic Beast looked ferocious to cultivators.

The thirty Demonic Beasts who first made a move. They spread out to various places and split the tasks of each.

Some are in charge of leveling the ground, as well as lifting up fallen trees and collecting them in one place.

The cultivators also did not stay silent, they also started moving after dividing some small groups.

The Rising Sun Empire and the border between the Central Sun Empire and the Drowning Sun Empire were top priorities.

The entire empire was actually broken, this could be seen from the two Volcanoes that no longer existed in the Eastern Continent. But at the very least, the Volcano in the Sunset Empire did not explode as much as it did in the Empire of the Rising Sun.

Lan Guan Zhi withdrew Xiao Shuxiang's right hand, he long stared at his friend before calling out Xiao Shuxiang's heirloom which was still on him.

"Let it be with you first, I'll take it later. I still have to find my mother and Yinng xiong, will you accompany me?"

"No,"

Lan Guan Zhi immediately let go of his handrails and immediately rejected Xiao Shuxiang's invitation when he saw this friend smiling strangely as he raised his eyebrows.

He was about to step away, but Xiao Shuxiang withdrew his hand and asked for company to find Xiao WeiWei.

"Take off,"

"You said 'Let go' but you didn't rebel at all. Just say you like it but don't dare admit it. You're a hypocrite, Lan'Er.."

Lan Guan Zhi immediately stopped and used his power so suddenly that Xiao Shuxiang who pulled him was thrust backwards, right hitting the chest of his field.

"Aiya! You are intentionally, right? When people see it, they'll all"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang's words were instantly cut off when he heard Patriarch Lan and Patriarch Yu Changhai thump quite loudly.

Meanwhile, Bai Wu Dang, Jing Mi, and Hou Yong despite being quite far away from where they were.. Yet Xiao Shuxiang could hear the strange coughing sounds of the three. Hou Yong and Jing Mi were the most visible lies to him, the coughs of his two friends were obviously on purpose.

Yi Wen also saw him, Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi looked like a forbidden couple and it gave him a headache. Not to mention if there was Lan Xiao among them, the name of the Moon Tiger seemed to be evidence of the merger of the two male cultivators he was staring at.

"Brother Xiao, I didn't think you were that kind of person. So, this is why you refused to marry me..?"

Yi Wen's eyes were like they were open, he no longer knew what to say. Clearly he had seen the other side of Xiao Shuxiang. This was too soul-shaking for her as a woman.

".. Hiya.. Heart hurts. I have to wash my eyes, this makes me nauseous,"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang forgot to blink when he heard Yi Wen say. His friend had misunderstood his relationship with Lan Guan Zhi.

"I would never be able to get married if all women had thoughts like Yi Wen. It's your fault, why do you have to do that?"

Xiao Shuxiang slapped Lan Guan Zhi's chest softly. His spontaneous actions were even misinterpreted by the cultivators who saw them.

"Mn, punishment. Let's go,"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was shocked when it was Lan Guan Zhi's turn to pull his hand. This friend of his was like he was happy to see his big name just stained. What if someone thinks they have a forbidden relationship?!

And it turns out that's true, just look. Cultivators aged like wanting to vomit saw the behavior of the two. As for the young, the look on their faces looks different.

Some were immediately pale, some were goosebumps amused, some even immediately shifted their eyes because they felt ashamed of themselves. Though, it was not those who were in the position of Xiao Shuxiang and Lan Guan Zhi.

"LanLan, you pulled me up like this and it just seemed like we were both gonna elope. Your big name and my big name are at stake, man.."

"You start first,"

Xiao Shuxiang finally gave up, he then walked beside Lan Guan Zhi and said that this friend of his was one who was not willing to lose.

Xiao Shuxiang had just wanted to ask Lan Guan Zhi to let go of his hand, but he suddenly received a rebuke from Dai Chen.

His friend was just about to pull one of the cultivators inside the hole, but suddenly the cultivator's hand Dai Chen let go and directly pointed at Xiao Shuxiang with a furious face.

".. You are! How dare to do such a thing in these conditions, let go of Young Master Lan's hand now..!"

Somehow Dai Chen had always lost his composure when he saw Xiao Shuxiang acting shamelessly towards Lan Guan Zhi.

The problem was, Xiao Shuxiang did not feel that he was acting shamefully. He was just walking along with Lan Guan Zhi, there was nothing strange about this. Dai Chen's mind went everywhere.

"Dai Chen, take a good look. The one holding my hand is Lan Zhi,"

"You must be the one who asked Young Master Lan to do so, very shameless..! Stay away from Young Master Lan, if I don't want to hit..!"

Xiao Shuxiang did not know what to say. The one holding his hand was Lan Guan Zhi, but Dai Chen instead blamed himself.

Though holding hands was still normal, he himself often even embraced Hai Feng while walking together, yet no one thought of him as shameless.

".. Only when I'm with you do they get so excited. Do we look like a couple?"

Xiao Shuxiang lowered his voice, he asked Lan Guan Zhi for an opinion that only 'does not know' answered'.

"I want to straighten this out, but it's nice to see Dai Chen angry. Lan Zhi, help me.."

Lan Guan Zhi had yet to give his answer, yet Xiao Shuxiang directly embraced his arm while provoking Dai Chen who was about seven meters away from where they were standing.

".. Dai Chen, you already have two wives. Your life will not be lonely. Not like me and Lan Guan Zhi. Bachelors like us should accompany each other, huh.. You know that, right? To fill the emptiness of the heart,"

Lan Guan Zhi slightly pushed softly on Xiao Shuxiang's head with his left index finger and asked his friend not to lean.

".. Patriarch Lan looked over here,"

"So, if Patriarch Lan doesn't look here.. I can just lean on you, can't I?"

Xiao Shuxiang had just corrected Lan Guan Zhi's words which sounded ambiguous to him. His own friend seemed silent while thinking about the mistake of his speech just now.

"That sounds ambiguous,"

"Obviously, you're making those who hear it more and more misunderstand.."

Xiao Shuxiang smiled as Lan Guan Zhi admitted her mistake. But being pulled back also could not, especially now that Dai Chen instead looked even more annoyed at Xiao Shuxiang.

The two young men who were so close were like having their own world while being together, even though he had been nagging Xiao Shuxiang since then but did not seem to be heard by the shameful man.

Just now Dai Chen was about to crash into Xiao Shuxiang and forcibly separate him from Lan Guan Zhi, but suddenly his hand was held by someone who turned out to be Xiao Lu.

"Xiao'Er is just teasing you, you don't seem to know her. Let her and sister-in-law go and do whatever they want, you just help me.."
