Otherworldly Desert Dust

The Death Omen Law has been born.

This Cangling is indeed not a kindly person.

Wu Hen realized that this time, he had no choice but to go.

He did not linger too long in the conference hall, returning to his home.

The Soul Nesting Wood only allowed Wu Hen to stay in the homeland for a brief few days. Having obtained the known clues about Cangling, Wu Hen also left the homeland and returned to his Desert Dust Life form.

...

Awakening from the Soul Nesting Wood, lying within the Soul Flower Cabin, Wu Hen quietly contemplated for a while.

Actually, when Wu Hen entered the Soul Flower, his consciousness returned to his homeland, but a thread of Perception stayed within this Desert Dust body, ensuring that if anyone dared to attack him while his soul was home, he could sense it instantly and awaken at once.

In the past, when Perception wasn't as sharp, lying within the Soul Flower felt indistinguishable from truly returning to the homeland; however, this time lying in the Soul Flower and returning home felt more like wearing virtual equipment. To ensure the safety of this body in the Soul Nesting Wood, Wu Hen left behind his super sense of taste, vigilant of unknown risks surrounding his physical body.

This also meant that the self that returned to the homeland had degenerated taste, which is why Wu Hen did not feel like eating those bland foods for breakfast and craved something like fried chicken that could shock the taste buds.

A diluted Perception could make things seem unreal.

Wu Hen also understood that returning to the Nuwa God End through the Soul Nesting Wood was only a temporary solution to his feeling of being lost.

For this journey, he had to gather more Pure Yuan You to stay alert at all times.

...

"Both my body and True Yuan absorbed it quite well, the Primordial Power from Jiang Heng and the Green-tailed God is truly vigorous. This is equivalent to upscaling me from the Saint Child Realm directly to Saint Origin Minor Completion. I guess if I replenish some Pure Yuan You on the way and cleanse the residual impurity of thoughts from Jiang Heng and the Green-tailed God, I could step directly into Mahayana. It seems that for cultivation, 'Heaven rewards the diligent' does not apply."

Wu Hen walked towards Yun Shan Mansion and encountered Bear Teng Ming Venerable.

After greeting him, the sly old Ming Venerable voluntarily offered Wu Hen a treasure to express friendliness and respect.

Wu Hen was satisfied; this watchful dog had a keen eye. From initially rudely blocking to now actively offering gifts, no trace of his previous unruliness remained.

After accepting the small gift, Wu Hen went to the west courtyard and found Ol'Bastard Cai Huang there.

Ol'Bastard Cai Huang was living the high life; no matter how humble he acted in front of his daughter, Cai Lan, outside the home, he was still the biological father of the Qilin Girl, and even the old Venerables of the Cloud Holy Country had to show him respect.

Ol'Bastard Cai Huang even made a special trip to his own family clan, posturing grandly before returning contentedly to continue being that useless old dog.

He knew Cai Lan was displeased with him, and thus avoided loitering in front of her as much as possible; but besides Cai Lan, all the Heavenly Officials within and outside Yun Mansion had to obey his commands.

"I brought a little gift for you." Wu Hen approached Cai Huang and handed over the item he got from Bear Teng Ming Venerable directly to Cai Huang.

Cai Huang, greedy as ever, wanted anything he saw, and upon seeing Wu Hen, who had now reached the Holy Origin Realm, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Kid, you don't regret following my advice, do you? Not to mention our current status, just below one and above tens of thousands, the Great Cultivation you've attained now is something you couldn't have achieved even if you fought tooth and nail for it in the past. People, there's no need to be at odds with your own dignity. We're all family; if you should accept being a pampered pet of the family, then accept it. Look at me now, I've also cultivated a mouthful of True Yuan," Cai Huang said with some pride.

"En, you did show me a clear path after all, I've learned, I've learned. Where is Cai Ni?" Wu Hen inquired.

He hadn't seen Cai Ni for quite some days.

"You've come at the right time, try to persuade that brat for me. She's always thinking of returning to the Nuwa God End. How can I be at ease with her traveling alone on such a long journey? Especially with those people in the Divine Realm beginning to become arrogant again, they will eventually fall into the hands of some Venerable Desert Dust. In the Divine Realm, where tomorrow is not guaranteed, she's better off here in the prosperous and carefree Tongtian City of the Cloud Holy Country. Help me persuade her," Cai Huang said.

He had noticed that since that incident, his younger daughter had become rather disobedient.

Cai Huang knew that Cai Ni only listened to Wu Hen now.

"Let her go back if she wants to. Cai Lan treats her like a maid, not a sister. She doesn't feel comfortable and wants to leave." Wu Hen had heard Cai Ni complain about this more than once.

"That won't do. She's now my only daughter. If she runs away with you Divine Realm folks, who will take care of me in my old age? You have to help me with this!" Cai Huang said.

"If she wants to leave, can you really keep her? Besides, we agreed before that if she feels uncomfortable here, she can leave at any time. Now you want to tie her down here?" Wu Hen said.

"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. I will not let her go back to the Divine Realm. She listens to you, so work on changing her mind..." Cai Huang said.

"I think we should respect her choice," Wu Hen said.

"Name your price. As long as you can persuade Cai Ni, I am willing to do anything for you." Cai Huang was solely worried about this issue now.

He knew that Cai Lan had no affection for him at all. If he could not keep Cai Ni by his side, he would end up a lonely old man, no matter how carefree his days were now; Cai Huang had come to realize the importance of family ties.

"This is what you said!" Wu Hen pointed at Ol'Bastard Cai Huang.

"Of course. Name your condition. I'm no longer just a marginal figure in Cloud Holy Country, and I'll have control over even more resources in the future," Cai Huang said confidently.

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush with you. You know that many in our homeland are walking different evolution pathways. When passing by True Martial Continent, many True Martial Strong People are born. The cultivation of Totem Sacred Sect in this otherworldly realm is also considered a superior evolution chain gate. I hope you will open up Holy Pills, allowing some talented people on our side to embark on the Saint Cultivation Path. Ensure they have the resources of the Holy Sect, the Cultivation Techniques of Holy Cultivation, the Magic Formulas of Holy Sect..." Wu Hen was straightforward.

Cai Huang stroked his beard, pondering the feasibility of this matter.

Although he knew that Holy Sect cultivation was not entirely dependent on talent, the Holy Sect must control a method that allows ordinary people to awaken their bloodline... But this matter was definitely linked to the Holy Sect's inner secrets, and it was hard to know who had control over it.

"This is the foundation of Holy Sect. Getting hold of it would be difficult. There is a way that can circumvent and realize the emergence of a Saint Cultivation lineage among the people in your homeland," said Cai Huang.

"What way?" asked Wu Hen.

"Such a secretive method of the Holy Sect's foundation certainly cannot be disclosed to anyone, including Cai Lan who may face great resistance in her request. But both of us are now considered Venerables of Totem Sacred Sect. You know, a Mahayana Master can establish their own branches and factions in the otherworldly realm. Under our names, we could establish a Holy Sect cultivation sect in Nuwa Divine Realm. There's no issue with the process. All the Holy Cultivators of Nuwa Divine Realm can be named after Nuwa Sect, Earth Sect... I'll work with some of the Holy Sect elders to make this sect independent enough, reducing or eliminating the need to pay tribute, while ensuring the administrative level of Cultivation within this sect is high enough. The allotments for bloodline awakenings, quantity of Holy Decisions, and even the share of Soul Casting qualifications are all the highest. Wouldn't this also achieve your goal of adding another evolution pathway for the Nuwa Lineage?" Cai Huang explained.

Wu Hen mulled over it carefully.

It seemed to have no issues.

If bloodline awakening was the foundation of the Holy Sect, it was unlikely they could acquire it with their power, as surely it was controlled by someone on the same level as the Cold-blooded Woman.

But to let Cai Huang establish a sect under the pretext of founding a school within Nuwa Divine Realm, one that did not perform the duties of the Holy Sect yet took advantage of Holy Sect resources aggressively, and could even apply to the upper echelons of the Holy Sect for legitimate protection when Nuwa Divine Realm was under mysterious attack...

"It's a good idea!" Wu Hen nodded, feeling the method was viable.

"I'm good at dealing with relationship-based matters within the Holy Sect. And our Cai Family also has some strength inside the Holy Sect. Now they want to elect me as the family head, giving me access to more Holy Sect resources. I know you want to support your homeland, and I'll get this done for you. You just have to make sure Cai Ni stays…" Cai Huang patted his chest and said.

"Old foxes are still sly," Wu Hen gave a thumbs up to the old man.

"Then go quickly, Cai Ni is already packing her luggage."

"If we establish a sect, let Cai Ni be the Sect Leader, and we both serve as protectors, it will be both deterrent and give Cai Ni a clear direction," Wu Hen proposed.

Wu Hen didn't fully trust this old fox Cai Huang, especially since the man had almost resorted to selling his daughter for glory. Negotiating such small schemes with him was one thing, but for more significant matters, Wu Hen worried that his principles and stance might falter.

On the other hand, Cai Ni was currently the most suitable person to act as the spokesperson between Totem Sacred Sect and Nuwa Divine Realm. With her serving as the leader of this division, on one hand, she belonged to a family with power and status within the Holy Sect, with a background that reached to the heavens; on the other hand, she had a high acceptance of the Nuwa Divine Realm, and was even considering taking on Earth citizenship. Her temperament could be gradually molded, but her stance had to be established.

"That's a great idea. Elevating her to the position of Sect Leader, for the future prospects of Nuwa Divine Realm, she would have to stay in the Holy State. Even if she sneaks back to the Divine Realm, as a Sect Leader relied upon by so many, she's obliged to seek progress for everyone, and, ultimately, she'll have to return here to the Holy State. Besides, if she finds it unbearable, it's just because she doesn't want to serve her sister as a maid. Seeing you with great influence in Tongtian City, she's also eager for that," Cai Huang nodded vigorously, finding this idea even better.

"Heh, spot on!" Wu Hen laughed.

"You're the one! You've clarified things I've been toiling over!" Cai Huang also had a fox-like smile, rippling across his cheeks.
