Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1228: A Promise
Aside from the vast grasslands within thousands of miles around the entrance, the seemingly boundless pocket world also had mountains, lakes, valleys, and highlands. The highest land in the world is a towering mountain peak about 2,000 meters high in the middle, with jagged rocks and steep cliffs, almost impossible to climb.
However, a magnificent and beautiful building stood on top of a towering mountain peak. Gu Yan’er stood in the small square in front of a classic pavilion with a smile as he glanced at the hills in front of him. Then, he chuckled and said, “Yaner spent two days to build a pavilion here. Pretty amazing, isn't it? ”
A warm feeling emerged within Tang Xiu's heart. This pavilion was merely a mini version of his residence in the Eternal World, where he had lived for several millennia there. That was why he could recognize her at a glance. “Learnest. I never knew you had this talent, Yan’er. ”
However, the smile on Gu Yan’er's face receded and he said in a sad tone, “I have clear memories of this pavilion, well in every place, every sight, every sight, and even the distance between objects inside. I even made an immortal artifact that I used as my residence. Unfortunately, the artifact was destroyed by Zhu Wushou, otherwise I would have put it here by now. ”
Tang Xiu held onto his shoulder and gently patted it, saying gently, “Wait until we return to the Eternal World and I have restored my cultivation to the Supremacy Stage. I'll personally repair the palace for you. I will guarantee that it will be exactly the same place we used to live in. ”
“Good!”
Gu Yan’er looked excited and nodded. He sincerely hoped that his Master would be able to return to the top. At that time, he would be able to annihilate their enemies and that damned traitor. He swore that he would exterminate that crazy bastard in the Eternal World, Shade Demon Zhu Wushou.
“Xiaoxue is coming,” suddenly said Gu Yan’er.
Tang Xiu followed his gaze towards the distant mountain peak. He saw the figures of Ji Chimei and Gu Xiaoxue flickering and coming quickly towards them. In just a few breaths, both of them stood in front of him.
“Greetings, Lord.”
“Grand Master.”
Ji Chimei and Gu Xiaoxue saluted.
“How many people from our sect have come?” Tang Xiu asked.
“Total 80 people. They were now collecting the treasures of this pocket world. They will be here in 2 days, “ replied Gu Xiaoxue.
Tang Xiu nodded in response and said, “Set up a place to stay in the nearest mountain when they arrive! Also, since Yaner stayed, he could teach everyone in their cultivation. I hope their cultivation develops quickly. I would like to see a number of Nascent Soul experts emerge from our sect perhaps in a year and a half. ”
“Nascent Soul Stage?” Gu Xiaoxue was shocked. “How is it possible, Grand Master? Of the 80 sect disciples we brought here, the cultivation level of a third of them is only at the final stage of Foundation Establishment. They were not even at the Golden Core Stage yet. ”
“I won't explain much about this. You have just come here and you have no idea about this magical pocket world. ” Tang Xiu faintly smiled and said, “Alright, keep looking for treasures! And take care of all the treasures gathered by the disciples, all of which must be handed over to you. ”
“They all know the rules and will not hide them, Grand Master,” Gu Xiaoxue replied respectfully.
After saying that, doubt was cast onto her pretty face before she saw Tang Xiu's calm expression and spoke in a low voice, “Grand Master, when we had just arrived near Longquan Mountain, the, we saw some people with special identities. We caught one of them and extorted something from the man. It turned out that they were Chinese intelligence agents and their main purpose here was to monitor the situation around Longquan Mountain. Furthermore, there are many of them — around more than 100. ”
Tang Xiu frowned and muttered to himself, “It looks like Duanmu Lin is still not sure of me! He fired Special Ability Bureau personnel but sent so many intelligence agents to keep an eye on us. ”
“Do you want us to expel this intel cooperative, Grand Master?” Gu Xiaoxue asked.
Tang Xiu pondered the idea and then replied, “No need. I will handle this matter myself. Besides, I will stay here for some time after everyone arrives. I have the intention to drill them for 10 days. ”
“Understanding!” Gu Xiaoxue nodded.
During these 10 days, in addition to immersing himself in cultivation every day to stabilize his cultivation level, Tang Xiu took his time drilling through the 80 disciples of the Tang Sect hard. With the continuous help of pills, Body Refinement Fluids, and the blood of ferocious beasts, their cultivation was rapidly growing.
As people say, fine steel is forged through thousands of tempering processes.
Tang Xiu really made them struggle in pain and happiness for these 10 days. After going through such an evil practice, even the worst among these 80 disciples had broken through to the Nascent Soul early stage, while the best broke through to the Nascent Soul late stage, just a little embarrassed to break through to the Spirit Formation Stage.
However, when Tang Xiu had just left his pocket world, he received a call from Duanmu Lin and learned that some Senior country wanted to meet him in Shanghai. But after she agreed on the time of the rapture and was about to leave, Chen Shaohua came out of the pouch world to find her and seemed to have something on his mind.
“What's the problem?”
Chen Shaohua hesitated first. Then, he replied, “I want to follow you later, Sect Master.”
A strange expression appeared on Tang Xiu's face as he watched her for a while. Then, he asked, “Why do you want to follow me? Isn't it a good thing for you to continue cultivating in the pocket world? Moreover, you have reached the mid stage of Nascent Soul, you might even be able to reach the late stage in 6 months. It is likely that you can also break through to the Spirit Formation Stage in less than 10 years. ”
Chen Shaohua pointed to his chest and forced a smile. “I know my cultivation is quite strong now, Sect Master. But I recently discovered that my foundation is a bit shaky and unstable because it fixes it too quickly. That's why I want to follow you while honing my state of mind. I'll go here when I feel it's the right time. ”
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, “You can feel the mood and other problems related to mental state now?”
“Betul!” Chen Shaohua nodded and said, “I always feel annoyed and irritated when practicing. My mood fluctuations were too much, I could not fully immerse myself in cultivation. I cannot fully unleash the power of an intermediate-level Nascent Soul power even if I want to. ”
Tang Xiu pondered about it and said, “I understand. Return to the world of the pouch and tell the other 80 disciples who have arrived that they must leave 2 months later and return to the Island of the Nine Dragons to take a shift working with another group. Remember to tell them that each of them should not reach the Spirit Formation stage first and remain at the Nascent Soul final stage. No matter who it was, anyone who had fully stabilized their cultivation with their mental state could compensate for it, they can report to me about their situation and I will give them a trial before trying to break through to the Spirit Formation Stage. ”
“Then what about me, Sect Master?” Chen Shaohua asked again in a hurry.
Tang Xiu chuckled and said, “Well, you can come along because you feel you can practice while strengthening yourself by following me! I'll be waiting for you in Shanghai. ”
“Understanding!” Chen Shaohua was overjoyed. After saluting Tang Xiu respectfully, he ran to the entrance of the pocket world at lightning speed.
This time, Tang Xiu did not bring anyone after leaving the pocket world. He even left Tang An to cultivate there.

Xuyang Town, at Wenxin Hotel.
After Tang Xiu arrived outside the hotel entrance, he sensed that many people around him were focusing their attention on him. With his common sense, he could tell that they were members of the state intelligence department.
“Hey you. Here!”
Tang Xiu halted his steps and waved to a man and a woman who acted like they were several meters away. The two people hesitated before they came to Tang Xiu.
“What's up?” the young man asked.
“Help me contact Duanmu Lin,” Tang Xiu said faintly. “Tell him that there is something I need to discuss with him and to wait for me at the Eternal Party Hall in Shanghai. Also, if he is accompanied by someone, tell him to take them to that place as well. ”
The young man's face changed slightly and he replied, “I don't understand what you're talking about, Sir.”
Tang Xiu hummed and directly took out a small green book from his interspatial ring. He showed it to two people and lightly asked, “Do you understand what I am saying now?”
“Understanding!”
The man and woman disguised as a couple hurriedly nodded and saluted.
Tang Xiu shook his head and then walked over to the Wenxin Hotel and came to the lobby on the first floor. He looked at the lethargic woman there and lightly said, “Give me the car key.”
When the woman saw Tang Xiu, she suddenly looked excited and respectfully replied, “Which car do you want to drive, Boss? All cars are in the backyard, you can choose one of these keys. ”
“Do not look awkward. You have to be careful because the wall has ears, ” Tang Xiu said.
“Understanding!” the woman looked even more energetic after hearing this.
Someone from the Tang Sect had bought the Wenxin Hotel, and even the previous owner of this hotel had become the intel agent of the sect. Moreover, due to the special incident at Longquan Mountain, she also learned about Tang Xiu's identity.
Tang Xiu randomly picked up the key and took it to the backyard. There are a dozen cars of various brands parked in the backyard. The headlights of the Mercedes-Benz off-road car then turn on when he presses the button on the key.
“Ayo direct to Shanghai.”
He had no plans to go by train or plane. In recent times, he spent his time in difficult cultivation while drilling sect disciples. Although he made great progress in cultivation, he was well aware that it was best to replace tension with relaxation. So, he decided to take a break and drive alone on his way home and considered it a good break and a vacation for himself.
The western region has beautiful scenery and, although the roads are quite bumpy, the outstanding features of the off-road he drives do a good job of easing them out. He rarely met anyone on the road, so he pushed a speed of over 200 km/h for an hour and a half.
“Should be quick and find a gas station!”
That was precisely the first thing Tang Xiu did when he arrived at Halagu City.
