While everyone was stunned, Ye Wantong's face showed a somewhat enlightened expression. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"You mean..." Ye Wantong looked at Su Yang and murmured, "Using that Heavenly War Alliance's name?"

"Exactly!" Su Yang nodded with a smile, "It's the flag of that previous Heavenly War Alliance!"

"Which Heavenly War Alliance are you referring to?" Everyone was bewildered, as they were unaware of the past events.

In fact, when Su Yang returned earlier, most of these people were in closed-door training, so they were naturally unfamiliar with the outside situation. As Ye Wantong received the Female Sword Saint's legacy, her advancement was rapid, and she was tasked with guarding the Nine Realms; as such, she met Su Yang frequently and was familiar with the outside situation.

Ye Wantong had heard from Su Yang about the fake Heavenly War Alliance outside, and now Su Yang intended to borrow its flag!

This Heavenly War Alliance, which had been targeted by the Guardian God after being tricked once by Su Yang, almost suffered a total annihilation. Apart from a few core members, the others had splintered, and it basically no longer existed.

This played right into Su Yang's plan; he wanted to use the Heavenly War Alliance's name, only needing to deal with those few core members to conveniently act under its guise.

Moreover, this Heavenly War Alliance had once subjugated many Human Clan Worlds, which was a known precedent. By utilizing their name, Su Yang could bring those Intermediate Worlds under his wing, and the Guardian God wouldn't suspect anything, saving him a lot of hassle.

If he didn't borrow the Heavenly War Alliance's name, doing this would be nearly impossible for Su Yang. The Guardian God wouldn't turn a blind eye to such actions. Thus, this Heavenly War Alliance's banner was the best cover for Su Yang.

Of course, the key to accomplishing this was finding those core members of the Heavenly War Alliance. Only by finding them, and dealing with these few, could Su Yang truly use the Heavenly War Alliance's flag to act. Otherwise, these people would remain a potential threat.

However, these core members had all hidden away after the last great battle, making it quite difficult to find them.

Su Yang wasn't in a rush to find these people, as this wasn't an urgent task. Since he had returned to the World Melting Furnace, he naturally wanted to take a trip to the bottom of its valley.

Previously, Su Yang's power wasn't enough to approach the person within the Spirit Liquid Lake. Now, possessing the Saint Emperor's power, he might try to move closer to that person.

Furthermore, the Feather Spirit Palace in the Nine Realms had been closed for centuries, and the situation inside was unknown.

Qi'er was still in the Feather Spirit Palace, and although Su Yang was assured that she would be fine, he wouldn't be at ease until she was rescued.

Then there was the Demon Abyss; after visiting the Land of Chaos this time, Su Yang had a deeper understanding of the Heaven Slayer's might. Hence, he wanted to visit the Demon Abyss again to see what was going on inside.

Su Yang first headed to the bottom of the World Melting Furnace Valley. Upon arriving, he no longer feared the surrounding demon beasts. These beasts, upon seeing Su Yang, were filled with terror and dared not approach him.

Su Yang entered the Spirit Liquid Lake, and upon contact, he was amazed to discover that the spiritual liquid within had changed.

Previously, when Su Yang entered, the liquid was just Yellow Level Spiritual Energy. Now, upon re-entering, he was shocked to find that the liquid had become Xuan-level Spiritual Energy!

Soaking in the Spirit Liquid Lake, Su Yang was completely baffled. They had risked their lives for some Xuan-level Spiritual Energy, yet he had entered this lake countless times with only Yellow Level Spiritual Energy inside; he knew this best.

But now, what was going on? How did the spiritual energy turn into Xuan-level Spiritual Energy? Could it be that the energy could upgrade on its own?

Su Yang was very puzzled, as he had never heard of spiritual energy upgrading before. From Yellow Level Spiritual Energy to Xuan-level Spiritual Energy, what exactly had happened? Had the Spirit Liquid Lake's liquid been entirely replaced?

Looking around blankly, Su Yang couldn't find an answer and could only dive to the lake's bottom.

At the lake bottom, Su Yang saw that figure from afar, still as before, standing indifferently as if nothing outside concerned him.

Just like before, Su Yang tried to approach the figure. However, the result was the same; he couldn't get closer or discern its appearance.

Su Yang felt somewhat discouraged; over the years, his strength had increased so much, yet the distance between him and that figure remained the same. What was going on? Who was that figure, and what kind of power did it possess?

He called out several times, but the figure remained unmoved, as if it hadn't heard Su Yang's voice.

Despite trying many methods, Su Yang ultimately couldn't see the person's face clearly and had to give up. After all the fuss, Su Yang's only impression was that the figure seemed to have gained some weight compared to before, perhaps sneaking some good food here?

In the end, Su Yang reluctantly returned to the Human World via Storm Valley. Passing through Storm Valley, Su Yang witnessed its might once more. At present, his strength was sufficient to challenge a Main God, yet not defeat him quickly.

Yet, upon entering Storm Valley, his flesh was immediately shredded, leaving nothing but bones.

Su Yang had no doubt that even the powerful Main God would surely die in Storm Valley!

Furthermore, Su Yang felt that Storm Valley's power must have surpassed the Xuan Realm level. After all, Storm Valley served as an entrance to the World Melting Furnace, presumably left by some Ancient Great Power and certainly exceed Xuan Realm.

Exiting Storm Valley, Su Yang headed straight for Kunlun Mountain, intent on visiting the Feather Spirit Palace.

Kunlun Mountain's situation remained the same, but now the Turquoise Pool no longer hindered Su Yang.

Su Yang jumped into the Turquoise Pool, quickly reaching the Feather Spirit Palace's backyard location. Yet, upon arrival, Su Yang was stunned to find that the Feather Spirit Palace, which should have been there, had vanished!
