After leaving the Internal Affairs Pavilion, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang did not return to their cave dwelling directly.
A moment later, the two arrived at Zhou Chuanqiong's cave dwelling together.
As soon as they landed in front of the cave dwelling, Zhou Chuanqiong rushed out to meet them.
"You're finally back." Zhou Chuanqiong handed some pills to Qin Hanchu directly, "Here are your pills."
Qin Hanchu first took the pills, then gave all the Divine Emperor level divine medicines in his hand to Zhou Chuanqiong, "Continue refining."
"Okay, I'll notify you when they're done," Zhou Chuanqiong said with a smile, seeing these Divine Emperor level divine medicines.
"Keep them for me for now, and I'll come to get them after we exit seclusion," Qin Hanchu and A Xiang had gathered enough resources for cultivation, and naturally, they wanted to improve their realms further.
"No problem," Zhou Chuanqiong nodded.
Leaving Zhou Chuanqiong, Qin Hanchu and his companion finally returned to their own cave dwelling.
After activating the cave dwelling's protective formation, the two began their seclusion.
Besides Qin Hanchu, Baili Caixia also began her seclusion, utilizing the resources provided by Qin Hanchu.
With Qin Hanchu's current foundation, it was easy for Baili Caixia to become a Divine Emperor realm expert.
Time flew by, and Qin Hanchu and A Xiang had been in seclusion for two thousand years.
Through cultivation over these two thousand years, both had reached the late stage of the Divine Emperor realm.
They had originally intended to break through to the peak of the Divine Emperor realm, but they received a transmission from the sect.
In a hundred years, the Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain would open.
The Desolate Domain was a treasure trove, and Qin Hanchu and his companion naturally did not want to miss it.
After exiting seclusion, Qin Hanchu visited Zhou Chuanqiong's cave dwelling again.
In addition to the Divine Emperor Profound Pill and Divine Emperor Success Pill, Zhou Chuanqiong had also refined some Divine Emperor level healing pills.
"You're preparing to go to the Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain?" Zhou Chuanqiong asked after Qin Hanchu accepted the pills.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Yes."
"Aren't you going to team up with others?"
"It's not necessary, my wife and I are enough," Qin Hanchu replied.
Zhou Chuanqiong said, "The Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain has a strong suppression on teleportation channels. Your Five Elements Divine Banners might not be able to exert their intended effects. I heard that the Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain might contain Ancestor level divine medicines. If you can collect any, could you give them to me for research?"
"Certainly," Qin Hanchu readily agreed, as he wanted to win over Zhou Chuanqiong completely for his own use.
Zhou Chuanqiong said, "I hope you return safely."
Qin Hanchu took out two jade slips and handed them to Zhou Chuanqiong, "These are also the experience notes of an eight-star alchemist. I'm giving them to you."
Zhou Chuanqiong looked at Qin Hanchu in shock. He hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to have alchemy experience notes.
"This..."
Before Zhou Chuanqiong could finish speaking, Qin Hanchu interrupted him, "Even if you ask me, I won't tell you, so there's no need to ask."
"Understood. If you need anything from me in the future, just say the word," Zhou Chuanqiong said.
"Farewell."
After bidding farewell to Zhou Chuanqiong, Qin Hanchu returned to his cave dwelling.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and this was the day to head to the Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain.
"You stay here and cultivate. Your mother and I will return safely."
The Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain was full of dangers, and Qin Hanchu did not have absolute certainty of not being harmed.
Because of this, he asked Baili Caixia to remain in the cave dwelling of the Ancient Dao Academy.
With the pills given by Zhou Chuanqiong, Baili Caixia could reach the middle stage of the Divine Emperor realm within three thousand years.
"Mmm, you all be careful." Baili Caixia knew that she would be a burden if she went along, so it was better for her to stay and cultivate.
After bidding farewell to Baili Caixia, the two arrived at the plaza.
As soon as they arrived at the plaza, Qin Hanchu saw the Moon Goddess Qingyue and Wu Jiantian.
Besides them, nearly a hundred Divine Emperors were already waiting for the Desolate Domain teleportation to begin.
"Aren't you two going to join other forces?" The Moon Goddess Qingyue asked Qin Hanchu coldly.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Yes, my wife and I prefer our own company."
"The Divine Emperor level Desolate Domain is extremely perilous. You two might be in grave danger," Wu Jiantian said with a cold sneer.
Qin Hanchu looked at Wu Jiantian, "Just take care of yourself. Be careful not to die in there."
"Don't let me meet you," Wu Jiantian said through gritted teeth.
Qin Hanchu replied, "I would very much like to meet Senior Brother Wu."
"Alright, then it's settled," Wu Jiantian said with killing intent.
A moment later, several more Divine Emperors arrived.
At that moment, the teleportation channel opened.
Qin Hanchu and A Xiang held hands and flew towards the channel. The Moon Goddess Qingyue and others also entered the channel one after another.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone was successively thrown out of the teleportation channel.
As soon as they arrived in the Desolate Domain, Qin Hanchu felt a powerful pressure.
Under this pressure, even divine sense movements were affected.
Qin Hanchu summoned the Five Elements Divine Banners and tried them out. The teleportation channel was indeed unusable.
However, this did not matter, as his true trump card was not the Five Elements Divine Banners.
Last time, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang only had the Sky-Opening Divine Axe and the Seven Kill Prison Suppression Tower, but now they also had Qitian, the Origin Clone.
In addition to these three helpers, Qin Hanchu also had two Divine Emperor level servants, who could be considered good combat power.
"Still want to rely on the Five Elements Divine Banners? Useless now, isn't it?" Wu Jiantian laughed mockingly.
Although they had arrived in the Desolate Domain, there were too many sect powerhouses present, so it was not convenient for Wu Jiantian to kill Qin Hanchu here.
Qin Hanchu glanced at Wu Jiantian, then he and A Xiang flew towards the front right.
Seeing the two leaving, Wu Jiantian gave a signal to his teammates, and then they also pursued in the direction of Qin Hanchu and his companion.
"Wu Jiantian is plotting something," a golden-eyed youth said beside the Moon Goddess Qingyue.
The Moon Goddess Qingyue replied, "It has nothing to do with us. Let's go search for Desolate Domain Divine Crystals."
The Divine Emperors of the Ancient Dao Academy dispersed into many small teams, heading in different directions.
A total of over a hundred Divine Emperors had come this time, so each team had only six or seven members.
Despite the small numbers, the combat power of the Divine Emperor realm was extremely formidable.
Qin Hanchu and A Xiang flew at high altitude, their divine senses scanning the land below.
"Wu Jiantian and the others are following us," A Xiang said.
Qin Hanchu snorted, "Let's go further away. It will be convenient to kill them then."
*Whoosh whoosh...*
Qin Hanchu and A Xiang's speed increased.
"Hmph, are they scared?" Wu Jiantian sneered.
"We still need to be careful, lest we be ambushed by the煞神 (Sha Shen - malevolent gods/demons)."
"Let's speed up, don't let them escape."
Wu Jiantian's team had a total of six people, and these individuals being Divine Emperors of the Ancient Dao Academy showed their immense strength.
"There's danger ahead. You'd better change direction."
Receiving the reminder from the Sky-Opening Divine Axe, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang immediately changed direction.
At that moment, a man beside Wu Jiantian held a compass and said, "Detected a large number of Desolate Domain Divine Crystals ahead. Should we continue chasing or go collect the Desolate Domain Divine Crystals first?"
Wu Jiantian became conflicted at this moment. He didn't want to miss either the Desolate Domain Divine Crystals or Qin Hanchu.
