After everything was done, Jean gave the girl a pill that was useful for her and left after he was explained that his courtyard wasn't his anymore since he was thought dead. So he just took this time to meditate in the Profound Gathering Tower since he didn't have anything to do except to wait for Cang Yue and Fen Juechen.

[The next day]

Jean was warned from Cang Yue about the situation of her and Fen Juechen. The emperor gave the ok for Cang Yue to travel with Jean, only if she turned back within 2 years, meanwhile Fen Juechen was rushing here as fast as possible, it seems that even his parents seemed alright with him.

Now Jean and Cang Yue were waiting for Fen Juechen at the entrance of the Profound Palace, they were talking to each other. "Hey Jean, did you know that since you won the Ranking Tournament, now the Profound Palace is at the same level of the other 4 Major Sects?"

Jean rebuked with 3 words. "You mean 3."

"What?"

"What."

Both of them stopped talking before they laughed, meanwhile a voice shouted. "HEY!!! BROTHER JEAN!!!"

Jean and Cang Yue turned around, but there was no one… "UP THERE!!"

Jean and Cang Yue then looked upwards and saw a profound beast flying in the sky, with Fen Juechen standing over it. He was waving at Jean and Cang Yue, who waved back.

The profound beast was revealed to be a Profound Fire Wyvern, which was slowly descending in the ground, and Fen Juechen hopped down. He walked towards Jean with a big smile on his face and tried to hug Jean. "I really mis-Ugh…"

However Jean just placed an hand in front of Fen Juechen. "No gay shit."

Fen Juechen stopped and stepped back, before looking at Jean. "I thought you were dead!"

"I don't care, I'm still alive."

Fen Juechen placed an hand on his face and shook his head, but a smile still came out from his face. Thinking about how Jean didn't change the slightest, he sighed. "I didn't think you would have beaten that demon."

Jean and Cang Yue looked at each other, before gazing back at Fen Juechen. "...What?" He asked with a raised eyebrow."

"That 'Demon' isn't a Demon, and he is my biological grandfather."

*Tic* *Tic* *Tic* *Tic* *Ping!*

"He's what?!" Fen Juechen shouted in surprise. Cang Yue nodded while Jean stared at Fen Juechen. "Yeah, I was forced to destroy the seal myself since the other option was killing my grandfather."

Fen Juechen stared at Jean, and g.r.o.a.n.e.d. "This is becoming a mess… Are you sure it's ok to tell it so carefreely?"

"Hell if I care, the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region will hunt for my head anyway."

"Wha-"

Jean quickly interrupted him and said. "We will talk about it later, have you taken everything you need for the journey?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot."

Then he showed the two of them a purple spatial ring. "There is enough food for a month and also some other necessities and items that might be useful for me."

"Same."

"Me too."

Both Cang Yue and Jean commented. Then Jean nodded and extended his right arm, taking out his watch from his sleeve, curiously, Fen Juechen and Cang Yue looked as Jean tapped the screen of the watch a few of times, before magically the watch emitted some blue lights that formed some sort of 3D map.

"Wow…"

Both of them were amazed a bit from the show of light that happened in front of them, while Jean zoomed a bit and moved the projection down, so Fen Juechen and Cang Yue could see everything too.

Then, inside the blue projection, a red dot appeared, which pointed their position, before a green one appeared quite far from them, outside of the Blue Wind Empire, at south.

"Alright, I was planning to make an entire tour around the Profound Sky Continent, starting from the Navy Tide Nation, Divine Incense Nation, Grand Asura Nation, Black Fiend Nation, Sunflower Dew Nation, and then the Divine Phoenix Empire, before turning back at Blue Wind Empire. We should need around 2 years with the size of the continent if there isn't any problem."

Both Cang Yue and Fen Juechen nodded, before the 3D map vanished. "So, should we go with feet or…?"

"It is for the best if we go with our feet, we might stumble on something interesting then." The suggestion was from Cang Yue, and both Jean and Fen Juechen nodded, before all 3 of them walked forward, beginning their new journey…

Yet, they didn't know that 3 different forces were also moving…

[Meanwhile]

At the Heavenly Sword Villa, precisely over the destroyed Sword Management Terrace, a man that looked around 40 years old was flying over the big hole with a grave expression on his face.

"...The demon isn't dead."

He remembered that Jean was taken away from the demon and put inside the seal, he was really saddened that such a talent was taken back from heaven, but now…

The Elder Ling Kun from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region tightened his fists while he gritted his teeth. "Jean…!!"

After confirming that Jean and the "Demon" planned together the escape, he started to think clearly about the situation. The Meteorite Chains were broken, it can't be done from the "Demon" because they are linked with his soul, only Jean could be able to attack them, and apparently destroy them.

If that's so, then it is easy for the "Demon" to escape from the seal, since the "Demon" is a 8th Sovereign Profound Cultivator, but he can't underestimate Jean because he was the one to free the "Demon".

Anyway, he needs to report this case as soon as possible, if the "Demon" is free, god knows what might happen, and Jean needed to be punished for this action.

[Meanwhile]

At the edge of the Blue Wind Empire, coming from west, a cloaked figure appeared, a dark miasma was coming out from the figure's clothes, all the plants that were around him were slowly dying.

The figure was holding a black crystal ball that was emanating a scary presence. "Heh, after the Navy Tide Nation it is the turn of the Blue Wind Empire…? Great…"

When he walked forward, one could see that the life around him, which was slowly dying, was emitting some particles of light which were s.u.c.k.e.d in by the black crystal ball, which could mean only that the crystal ball was a profound treasure.

A group of wild wolves surrounded the man, and got ready to attack. However, the figure didn't stop moving, ignoring the wolves. The black crystal ball glowed with a dark light before the soul and life force of the wolves were s.u.c.k.e.d in, they became just corpses.

"What sect should I destroy…?"

Making that question, the figure traveled towards Blue Wind Empire, leaving a trail of death on its path.

[Meanwhile]

The void was trembling, a crack in the space appeared, the crack was getting bigger and bigger until a spacetime rift was formed, a strange being was stepping out…

It was a humanoid being, but his body was covered in statics, it was impossible to see what he looked like, and a corrupted voice came out from his mouth. "I̸ ̵f̸o̸u̴n̵d̷ ̵y̶o̵u̸…̸ ̸F̶i̷n̵a̸l̶l̸y̴…̴ ̶A̵f̸t̷e̸r̵ ̸a̸n̵ ̷e̷t̸e̴r̵n̷i̸t̸y̷…̵ ̶H̵e̴r̴e̶ ̸y̶o̵u̷ ̶a̵r̵e̷,̶ ̵h̴e̷h̵e̵h̷e̵h̶e̶h̷e̶.̸.̸.̶"

His very existence was making the blue sky around him twist and retwist, fold and refold… When he stepped in the ground, the ground shook, as if a land as big as a region fell in the continent, his foot was digging the ground just from the sheer weight it carried, a crack split the landscape, frightening every animal nearby.

"M̶a̸y̸b̵e̵ ̸i̷t̶'̴s̸ ̸b̵e̸t̸t̸e̶r̸ ̸i̶f̴ ̷I̵ ̴f̴l̶y̶…̶

His foot was lifted of some centimeters from the ground, and then the humanoid being started to airwalk.
