Chapter 2485: Chapter 2490: Old Friends, Old Places, Old Stories (Part 2)

"Xia Liu! I don’t know what to say. Meeting you in this life is my greatest fortune!"

Bai Jue couldn’t bring himself to say those sentimental words.

He could only express his gratitude towards Xia Liu with such words.

"Elder Bai, there’s no need to say such things. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today. The repayment is deserved."

"No, no, you could have reached the summit even without me."

"Enough of that. Now I only need one more thing to refine the Abyssal Immortal Body!"

Indeed!

Xia Liu has collected all the materials on the list, just missing one!

The one thing is Bai Jue’s confined remnant soul!

Only by retrieving the remnant soul from the Empress can Bai Jue truly be reborn!

"Actually, there’s no need to strive for the last piece. Even in the state of a remnant soul, it’s sufficient."

Bai Jue didn’t want Xia Liu to take the risk.

If the Empress threatened Xia Liu with his remnant soul.

He would be very passive.

At that time, it’s unimaginable what problems might arise.

"Don’t worry about this matter, Elder Bai. If there’s time when returning to the Cultivation Realm, I will plan this with Senior Bai Yu."

"Ah, once again, because of me, troubling you all."

Bai Jue sighed softly.

His heart was very unsettled.

"Rest assured, Elder Bai, just let them refine freely here for now. When I return to the Cultivation Realm, I will use the White Lotus Demon Yuan to condense the Abyssal Immortal Body."

"Alright! It must be hard on you."

With those words, Bai Jue returned to the Taiqing Sword within Xia Liu’s body.

After preparing the Medicinal Cauldron to refine the essence of materials, Xia Liu left the Nether King Palace.

Then he stored the palace within his Sea of Consciousness.

Outside, Qingdie and Elder Dao Guang watched as Xia Liu transformed into a stream of light in and out.

Their minds puzzled.

After Xia Liu briefly explained, they were shocked again.

After storing the Nether King Palace, familiar faces from Thousand Mechanisms City arrived.

The lord of Thousand Mechanisms City, Du Yu, friend of the Du Family...

After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Liu was generous in aiding their cultivation.

The next morning, he left Thousand Mechanisms City.

This time, he aimed to return to the Huaxia Realm.

Without disturbing anyone.

Upon entering Huaxia, Xia Liu headed straight for Osmanthus Village.

After fifty years, everything had changed.

The winery in Osmanthus Village had long been abandoned.

The people of Osmanthus Village had gradually learned to enjoy life.

The older generation no longer worked.

The younger generation had entered the Osmanthus Group for training.

In fifty years, the Osmanthus Group gained a significant international reputation.

None of this mattered to Xia Liu.

He went to search for his former subordinates.

Unfortunately, he had been away too long; except for Tie Shan who remained in the Osmanthus Sect, almost everyone else had passed away.

Fifty years is no small number.

The Osmanthus Sect, currently the most famous sect in Huaxia!

Without exception.

Even the Heavenly Mansion sent people every year to offer greetings.

Because the world of Martial Dao was filled with tales of Xia Liu.

The mountain gate of the Osmanthus Sect was almost worn out.

Martial Dao families and wealthy households from all over the nation.

All wish to send their talented offspring to the Osmanthus Sect for learning.

Forced by circumstances, Tie Shan and Guo Po decided.

To expand the mountain gate.

Eventually, the mountains stretching over hundreds of miles were developed into the Osmanthus Sect’s mountain gate.

This funding came from various wealthy individuals and families.

It can be said that the Osmanthus Sect, Osmanthus Group, Osmanthus Village, have all reached the peak of Huaxia!

Standing in the sky above the Osmanthus Sect, Xia Liu felt myriad emotions.

His departure did not sadden his friends but instead led to unexpected developments of the foundation.

On the vast square, two elderly figures sat in chairs.

Watching Osmanthus Sect disciples practice boxing.

Upon closer look, Xia Liu showed a helpless smile.

Those two were Xiao Hu and Li Dazhuang!

Years ago, he taught them the cultivation method.

Because they had some spirit root.

Yet, their talent remained ordinary.

Over fifty years, they only reached the tenth level of Qi Cultivation.

Even if pushing their cultivation hard, they might only reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Beyond that, it’s almost impossible.

With a sigh, Xia Liu instantly appeared before Xiao Hu and Li Dazhuang.

Facing the sudden appearance.

Xiao Hu and Li Dazhuang immediately reacted.

But upon seeing who it was, their bodies felt struck by lightning, unable to move.

Electricity coursed through their bodies, endless words stuck in their choking throats.

"How dare you show disrespect to the Sect Leader of Osmanthus Sect!"

On the square, a young man quickly drew his sword, launching an ordinary movement technique toward Xia Liu.

Seeing their teacher attack, none of the boxing disciples dared to miss any of the spectacle.

"Li Nian! Kneel before me!"

Just as Li Nian’s Spirit Sword was about to touch Xia Liu.

Li Dazhuang roared fiercely.

His imposing presence fully revealed.

Crushing Li Nian into submission, unable to show any defiance.

This puzzled everyone present.

Li Dazhuang was the Sect Leader of Osmanthus Sect, with unfathomable strength.

In Huaxia’s Martial Dao, he stood among the pinnacle.

Nearing eighty, he had achieved the status of a Grandmaster of Huaxia.

Li Nian, his youngest son, held an Elder position in the Osmanthus Sect.

In Huaxia, he was quite renowned.

No one expected him to be asked to kneel at this moment.

Everyone was bewildered by Li Dazhuang’s command.

"Father! Who is he, and why am I kneeling without reason?"

Li Nian was reluctant to kneel immediately, being a cultivator he also had his pride and dignity!

"He is your ancestor!"

As he spoke, Li Dazhuang and Xiao Hu simultaneously stood upright, then bowed to Xia Liu.

Because they knew Xia Liu disliked having his own people kneel to him.

"Brother Xia Liu! It’s been over fifty years, you finally returned!"

"Yes, over fifty years, so much has changed..."

Fifty years?

Xia Liu!

It’s rumored that the founder of Osmanthus Sect, the monster renowned across the world, is named Xia Liu!

"The founder has returned!"

"Founder!"

...

The disciples were unanimously excited upon hearing Li Dazhuang’s sentiment.

Xia Liu turned around and scanned all the disciples.

How things have changed, how things have changed...

"The Founder looks just like the statue!"

"Incredible! The Founder still looks so young!"

...

Seeing Xia Liu’s youthful appearance, everyone present was astonished.

Every month, everyone in Osmanthus Sect must kneel and worship before the founder’s statue, Xia Liu’s stone likeness.

Now, seeing the actual person.

Astonished beyond words.

"Your name is Li Nian?"

Xia Liu finally focused his gaze on Li Nian.

"Disrespectful junior Li Nian, pays respects to the Founder!"

Li Nian immediately cupped his hands, about to kneel.

From a young age, he had heard his father and other elders talk about Xia Liu.

After learning about him, Xia Liu had become his idol, his faith.

"Your talent is impressive, much stronger than your father."

...

"Brother Xia Liu speaks correctly, we have let you down."

Li Dazhuang and Xiao Hu were filled with bitterness.

Years ago, Xia Liu imparted his teachings, yet they lacked the determination between life and death.

After having children, they focused solely on protecting them, not striving despite their deficient talent, and the result was predictable...
