Chapter 336: Give Profound Sun Holy Land Another Thousand Years
Half a year later.
The Profound Sun Holy Land was already visible in the distance.
Unlike when he had left, in just a few years, the place had undergone earth-shaking changes. From afar, it already possessed the bearing of a true holy land.
And Li Xun… had transformed himself, becoming a Saint!
Not just within Profound Sun Holy Land—even across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent, he now stood among the top tier. Those more powerful than him were extremely rare.
"Master, is that Profound Sun Holy Land ahead?"
Huang Xi stood at the front of the Golden Divine Chariot, her robes fluttering as she gazed into the distance, asking with a hint of curiosity.
"Yes."
Li Xun nodded, his expression somewhat complicated.
No matter what, the Profound Sun Holy Land was where his journey began. He could never truly sever his ties with it.
Thinking back, when he had just started cultivating, the Profound Sun Holy Land had treated him with utmost sincerity—even sending Elder Chen to personally protect him.
Now, it was time for him to give something back.
"In ancient times, I once came to the Desolate Ancient Continent. Back then, there seemed to be a force here called the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect." Huang Xi smiled faintly, recalling something as she spoke casually.
"Oh?"
Li Xun raised an eyebrow, looking at her in surprise. He knew she had been sealed for countless years, but he hadn't expected her to be from the same era as the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect.
"That sect has long become a thing of the past. Even the secret realm they left behind now belongs to the Profound Sun Holy Land."
"Is that so?" Huang Xi said softly, a trace of melancholy appearing on her face.
After countless years, everything she once knew was gone. Not just the Desolate Ancient Continent—even her own Heavenly Island Ancient Domain now felt utterly unfamiliar.
"In this world, there are only a few beings that can truly achieve immortality, let alone entire factions." Li Xun spoke calmly.
After saying this, he did not continue. Instead, he looked toward the now clearly visible Profound Sun Holy Land.
At this moment—
Inside Profound Sun Holy Land.
On the newly built Profound Sun Peak stood a massive palace, covered in terrifying formations. Countless runes shimmered like stars, radiating dazzling light.
Several powerful elders were gathered here, discussing matters.
"In recent days, the area around our Profound Sun Holy Land has grown increasingly unstable. First, the Great Chu Dynasty sent elite forces into our territory, and now it seems even the Otherworldly Demons have set their sights on us."
The speaker was an elder of Profound Sun Holy Land who had broken through to the Divine Palace Realm just half a month ago, stepping beyond the Life and Death Realm. He had not yet fully stabilized his cultivation but had been forced to attend this meeting.
There was no other choice.
As a newly established holy land, Profound Sun lacked deep foundations. Not only were there few strong experts, but there was also a shortage of advanced cultivation techniques.
This made it difficult for the elders to advance further.
Previously, although Profound Sun Holy Land had destroyed forces like the Golden Sun Sect and obtained some techniques from the ancient Great Strength Divine Demon Sect, most of those techniques were of low grade.
More importantly, they were incompatible with Profound Sun's original cultivation methods. To use them, one would need to completely switch paths—and mastering them would take an unknown amount of time.
As for waiting for the Grand Elder to create a cultivation system suited to the Profound Sun Holy Land cultivator—that would take even longer.
A cultivation method could not be created in a short time. It required countless trials and errors over a long period.
And right now, time was exactly what Profound Sun Holy Land lacked the most.
Now, it seemed as though the Great Chu Dynasty and the Otherworldly Demons had reached some kind of understanding, probing Profound Sun Holy Land together. This left them overwhelmed and struggling to cope.
At present, they had two possible sources of support.
One was the Grand Elder—but he was in seclusion, refining his Treasure and creating new cultivation techniques. Unless the sect faced imminent destruction, they could not bring themselves to disturb him.
The second was the Great Zhou Empire—but the problem was that over the past year, the Great Zhou Empire had been suppressed so badly by the Otherworldly Demons that it could barely hold its ground.
No one knew what exactly had happened, but the Otherworldly Demons that appeared near the Great Zhou Empire were terrifying—among them were even Saint-level beings. This forced the entire Great Zhou Empire into a state of high alert.
They did not dare let their experts venture out freely.
After all, facing Saint-level Otherworldly Demons was no trivial matter. One misstep could lead to total annihilation. Because of this, regarding Profound Sun Holy Land's predicament… they could only say they were powerless to help.
"If our Profound Sun Holy Land were given another thousand years, how could we allow those Otherworldly Demons and the Great Chu Dynasty to act so arrogantly here?" Elder Xie spoke up.
He looked the same as ever, with white hair and beard, a fiery temper, and his cultivation stuck at the peak of the Life and Death Realm—just a step away from the Divine Palace Realm.
It seemed as though he could break through at any moment, yet that single step had held back countless people for an entire lifetime.
Even now, among all the holy lands, the only one that still had elders at the Life and Death Realm was likely Profound Sun Holy Land alone.
"I've heard that the Holy Son has already become a Saint, and that he even has a Saint King by his side. If he were to return now, the Great Chu Dynasty probably wouldn't dare act so boldly."
"And those Otherworldly Demons could also be dealt with easily," another elder added.
Hearing this, the other elders—and even the Profound Sun Holy Lord—showed a trace of melancholy on their faces.
To be honest, they all felt a bit unreal inside.
Li Xun's reputation in the outside world was simply too overwhelming. Many forces had befriended him, and combined with his achievement of becoming a Saint within a hundred years, it gave them a strange feeling.
Could such a genius really have come from the Profound Sun Holy Land?
And could a place like Profound Sun Holy Land—a mere "small pond"—truly nurture a real dragon capable of soaring through the heavens?
"A few days ago, the Holy Son sent me a message. He said he should be returning. If nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive back at the Holy Land within these next few days." The Holy Lord paused briefly before speaking slowly.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, everyone's spirits were lifted.
Just moments ago, they had been worried that after witnessing the vastness of the outside world, their Holy Son might look down upon the Profound Sun Holy Land—or even choose never to return.
Now, hearing the Holy Lord's words was like a shot of reassurance.
Deep down, they were almost certain that as long as Li Xun returned, any predicament Profound Sun Holy Land faced would be effortlessly resolved.
To some extent, Li Xun's current reputation was even more reassuring than that of their own Grand Elder.
