Leaving the Demon Abyss, Su Yang added another seal outside, preventing anyone from entering easily.

If someone rashly enters and inadvertently touches the stone tablet, who knows what consequences might follow. This place really isn't suitable for people to come and go as they please.

Upon returning to the Human World, Su Yang didn't leave immediately; instead, he sought out Ye Wantong to inquire about the previous Divine Master.

The Divine Master knows many secrets, and Su Yang had already ordered the Nine Realms to search for him with all their might. Yet, until now, there has been no progress, as if the Divine Master vanished from the earth without a trace.

Of course, Su Yang knows well that the Divine Master must have some life-saving method to hide his presence, preventing discovery. This only makes Su Yang even more curious, eager to find this person and uncover his mysteries, as well as the secrets of those three deathly grounds.

However, looking for the Divine Master is no easy task. Even Ye Wantong and several Saint Emperors combed through the Nine Realms entirely without finding him, which shows his ability to hide is quite formidable.

Even now, with Su Yang personally searching the Human World, the Divine Master remains elusive, and the matter had to be abandoned.

After settling matters in the Nine Realms, Su Yang left with three Crystal Skulls.

Meanwhile, beneath the Arctic ice layer in the Human World, a few people were hiding in shadows.

Leading them was the Divine Master, seated in meditation, with several long-time followers beside him.

A faint radiance surrounded these people, emanating from a small Jade Bottle.

Suddenly, the Divine Master opened his eyes. Looking upward, a sneer crossed his lips: "Want to find me? Keep dreaming!"

His followers also opened their eyes, with one whispering: "Divine Master, are they searching again?"

"This time, Su Yang himself is looking!" sneered the Divine Master, "But so what? With this radiance, I could stand right in front of them, and they'd still never notice me!"

They glanced at the Jade Bottle, long recognizing its peculiar nature. Even with many Saint Emperors seeking them, they remained undiscovered, truly extraordinary.

"This Su just won't give up, will he!" one whispered: "All these years and still searching for us, isn't he just bored?"

"It's not boredom; he must find me." Divine Master sneered, "Otherwise, how could he learn the secrets of the three deathly grounds? In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, only I understand these secrets!"

His followers exchanged glances, increasingly questioning Divine Master's identity, now even more shocked by his words.

Only he knows the secrets in all the Three Thousand Great Worlds? Just how astonishing is Divine Master's identity?

"What secrets do the three deathly grounds hold?" one asked curiously.

Divine Master shot him a cold glance: "Speak not of what doesn't concern you!"

The man immediately shut his mouth, not daring to anger the Divine Master.

Divine Master approached the Jade Bottle, flicking the radiance, his brow furrowing suddenly.

"Spiritual Energy in the three deathly grounds has risen? How so quickly?" Divine Master exclaimed.

"Spiritual Energy advanced?" They were astonished: "Can Spiritual Energy advance?"

Divine Master looked cold, tone somber: "It seems I underestimated their recovery speed. I must quickly devise a plan to control the situation. Otherwise, once they recover, I'll never again grasp all this!"

His followers looked bewildered, unsure what Divine Master meant. But seeing his urgency, they guessed something truly significant had happened.

Divine Master paced in place several times before appearing resolved, gritting his teeth fiercely, removing a bracelet from his wrist.

Staring at the bracelet for a long time, he sighed heavily: "Bargaining with tigers, bargaining with tigers indeed!"

Eventually, Divine Master had no choice but to crush the bracelet. He knew his time was limited; such risk, though high, outweighs waiting for death!

...

Unaware of the events under the Arctic Glacier, Su Yang immediately headed to the nearby Luan Yu Dynasty after leaving the Nine Realms.

Despite the substantial turmoil in the Great World recently, it largely spared Luan Yu Dynasty. The unrest was mostly Su Yang's doing, who kept turmoil away to protect the Nine Realms. Consequently, Luan Yu Dynasty benefited, left undisturbed.

However, since Luan Yu Dynasty borders the Nine Realms' closest Demon Beast Dynasty, the Nine Realms' infiltration into Luan Yu Dynasty is greatest. Nowadays, almost half its Saint Kings are members from the Nine Realms in disguise, so Luan Yu Dynasty is nearly half under their control.

Of course, the Demon Beasts of Luan Yu Dynasty are entirely unaware, unable to fathom such transformation by the Nine Realms.

Additionally, Su Yang put the Nine Realms' strong into the World Melting Furnace, leaving only weak ones. Thus, outsiders view it as a negligible Small World, ignoring the Nine Realms.

Upon arrival, Su Yang promptly consulted some stationed Nine Realms members for the recent Great World situation.

The Nine Realms has several Saint Emperors now, yet remains isolated without much news on the Great World. Whereas the Demon Beast Dynasty, receiving information from other dynasties, is quite informed.

These Nine Realms members knew Su Yang, many his old acquaintances. Upon his arrival, they quickly shared all gathered information, providing Su Yang a rough understanding of the Great World's current state.

Since the last mixed battle between the Demon Beast Clan, Heavenly War Alliance, and Guardian God, the Great World saw no major battles. It can be said that that battle nearly finished the Heavenly War Alliance, and the Demon Beast Clan also suffered defeat, falling into silence.
