Xia Xiao had been away from home for three years. In comparison, one month was nothing. But no matter where he was before, he was always in the wilderness. Unlike now, he was very far away from home, separated by two star systems, and it was uncertain when he would return. Therefore, seeing old friends brought Xia Xiao great psychological comfort, letting him know that even if he was tired, it was worth it.

Xia Xiao has always been the one who can endure the most hardships. Because he has a strong shoulder, he can withstand many things and rarely complains. At this time, in the deserted palace, seeing the familiar faces, Xia Xiao regained motivation and calmed down, entering a very deep world, enough to talk directly with the eleven people.

Because of his familiarity with the Great Wilderness Qi and the pressure from the Dawn Qi, Xia Xiao appeared in front of the eleven people and began to teach them how to transform their power, turning the Great Wilderness Qi into the Dawn Qi. This was an extremely difficult task, and it varied from person to person, so the length of time was also different. But Xia Xiao was not in a hurry, and he also reminded them:

"The Sunset Qi is more concentrated than the Great Wilderness Qi we are using. When converting, the latter needs to be compressed to make it look like the former. During this process, your body will feel a lot of discomfort, but don't worry, just keep going. As for the cultural language of this world, seniors, don't worry. Once you are fully adapted, you will be able to learn it quickly."

After seeing the eleven people, his eyes finally stopped at Tianlong. I didn't expect him to come after all. He is really a proud race. But since he came, then let him come. Now the future of Huangdian should be smooth, not as tortuous as I thought before.

Xia Xiao soon felt uncomfortable due to long-term fatigue, but he still insisted on answering questions for the eleven people. However, he finally collapsed when faced with Tianlong’s question!

"The power here is so strong. Can we really make the vital energy become like that just by compressing it? Why is it that I have compressed it but the effect is not significant? Please explain this to me!"

Eleven people sat in the center of the hall, but Xia Xiao outside had fallen. He was lying on the ground, his lips were pale, his face was pale and scary, and next to him, stood a slender female figure, and the palm that had been slapped before was retracted. The woman's face had a very mature charm, and she was frozen in her youth. At this time, her eyes were full of confusion, and there were also some recognition and appreciation.

"What a madman! If he keeps fighting like this, he'll lose his life."

After the woman murmured, she ordered Xia Xiao to float up and lie down beside Ah Zhu. Then, he closed his eyes and faced the eleven people. His mind wandered and he stood in front of them instead of Xia Xiao. Everyone felt that this figure was unfamiliar, but she said in an ordering tone with boundless arrogance:

"I am the Human Emperor Yu Shangyan. No matter what misunderstandings you have about me, no matter what rumors you know about me, I am the Lord of the Desolate Palace at this moment! You have come here for justice and glory, so you must work hard for survival and the descendants of the Great Desolate, and you must obey my orders."

The eleven people were more or less stunned, but seeing that he had no hostility, they put away their curiosity and began to ask questions without hesitation. Yu Shangyan saw that they did not take his words seriously, and he did not get angry. He just patiently answered their questions and regarded them as the eleven people's consent. Xia Xiao and Azhu both admitted it, so what was the point of their objection?

On the way to help people, Yu Shangyan did gain some respect. But in front of an old man, she lost much of her arrogance, and even lost a bit of her superiority. She just froze in place because of his complicated eyes, not knowing what to say. Yu Shangyan was always high and mighty in the eyes of others, but now she just froze for a while and cursed angrily:

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and transform your vital energy!"

Qing Xunzi burst into tears and nodded repeatedly, as if he had returned to the past, becoming the high-spirited young man. Unexpectedly, 30,000 years later, when he saw Yu Shangyan again, she was still as beautiful as he remembered. He thought all the way on the road, wondering what his Lord Human Emperor would become. The image in his mind was already vague, but now it became solid again.

Even though Qingxunzi had white hair and a youthful face, and looked like an immortal, he still felt that he was old and ugly, and was not worthy of the Emperor. Now the distance between them was even greater, as if they were in the distant horizon. However, his admiration and yearning for him made Qingxunzi feel satisfied, and he immediately accelerated the speed of transforming his power, turning himself from an outsider into a part of Xishu.

After two days, they finally converted their own power and became familiar with it. But they were still very unfamiliar with this world. The eleven people just woke up and opened their eyes one after another. Yu Shangyan said:

"I'm going to teach you everything about Xishu. Be prepared!"

Qing Xunzi was the most cooperative, staring at Yu Shangyan with his eyes, which made Wang Yuanke sigh. He could even see the Human Emperor 30,000 years ago, so why couldn't he see the Dean? The tree, the book, and even the lamb were still there, but the person who was enjoying the flowers and reading the book was gone.

Sighing secretly, Wang Yuanke felt regretful that he could not say goodbye to the dean properly, and he was not able to meet him when he came to the wilderness.

“Here it comes!”

After Yu Shangyan finished speaking, the eleven people seemed to be hit by an invisible force, and their bodies fell back a little. Immediately, they saw many scenes, all related to the Xishu world. This world is several times larger than the Great Wilderness, and the six continents on it have their own merits. But Xia Xiao and the other two chose the largest one, which was indeed surprising.

Then, they learned the language and some of the culture as quickly as possible and saw the hierarchy of forces in this land called Prosperous Continent. This world had no countries, only forces of all sizes, which was of course unpredictable. However, the three levels of forces, as well as the smaller forces under them, made them think quickly about how they could survive.

Before they arrived, they were important figures in the Great Wilderness. Now, they felt their own insignificance, as if they had regressed a lot on the road of cultivation. But they soon realized that they were not getting weaker, but that this Xishu world was much stronger than the Great Wilderness.

Ke Yu Shangyan then showed them that Ah Zhu, accompanied by Xia Xiao, had opened the way to the Heavenly Palace with his own identity. Now outside the Deserted Palace, there were even strong men waiting for them to wake up. Then he reported to the Heavenly Palace and ordered it to send someone to take them to meet the awakened Palace Master.

The eleven people knew immediately about what had happened recently, which made them extremely respectful to Xia Xiao and Azhu, and of course Yu Shangyan also had a role.

When everyone understood everything and knew their own strength, they stood up in the deserted palace and looked around. This palace was exactly the same as the one in the Great Wilderness, even the number of seats remained the same, and there were patterns on it, which made everyone admire Xia Xiao and Azhu even more. They even had an illusion that when they opened the door and went out, they would still return to the Great Wilderness instead of this distant world.

With an excited heart, Qing Xunzi asked:

"Can we go out and take a look?"

Yu Shangyan glanced at Xia Xiao and Azhu. They had slept for three days and three nights, but they still hadn't woken up. Azhu's slender legs were draped over Xia Xiao. It was unknown what she was dreaming about, but this sleeping posture was too indecent, so Yu Shangyan shook his head and said to Qing Xunzi and others:

"Go ahead, but don't leave Lingchu City."

The eleven people nodded, and Yu Shangyan sat in the seat of the master of the hall. The only difference between this place and the deserted hall in the Great Desert was that there was an additional chair at the innermost part of the deserted hall, which was where Yu Shangyan sat at this time.

The chairs were set off by the five elements, making them very comfortable. Looking at the backs of the eleven people, I suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. But the Desolate Palace is just getting started now.

The eleven people looked back at Yu Shangyan, all showing respect. They now knew that Xia Xiao and Azhu recognized her as the Palace Master. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, except for Qing Xunzi and Wang Yuanke, who were at the ninth level, the rest were only at the eighth level, and had not yet entered the so-called heavenly eighth level, so they were not considered strong. But Yu Shangyan's strength was at the thirteenth level, and the gap in strength was too great.

The door opened automatically as the eleven people approached. When the two people at the door saw the eleven people coming out, they immediately knelt on one knee and performed a great salute.

"Welcome everyone to Xishu Fanfeng!"

"No need to be so polite."

It was the first time that Qingxunzi spoke Xishu's language, and he didn't find it difficult, just a little awkward. Compared to the reservedness of Qingxunzi and the chairman, everyone in the academy was much more relaxed. They looked at this world, this Lingchu City, and this palace. They would start from here, but where they could go was still unknown.

Seeing them awake, someone quickly went to inform Manager Yang. Later, the latter came and asked if they needed anything. They were used to fasting, and apart from food, they only needed shelter. After saying something to Yu Shangyan, the eleven people were taken to three houses, all of which were clean and prepared specifically for them.

There were not many people in each house, so when they first came to Xishu, they did not feel how difficult it was. But when Xia Xiao first arrived, he sat on the unfamiliar grassland to convert his energy. In comparison, they were too happy, but it was precisely because Xia Xiao had endured hardships that they could be so convenient.

On the first night in Xishu, most people gathered together, chatting and talking, and then began to practice. Qingxunzi wanted to find Yu Shangyan because he had something to say to her and wanted to know what she had done. But due to his weak strength, he chose to practice first.

Many things will be known sooner or later, but strength cannot be delayed. All eleven people have that tenacity, so when they are seen by outsiders, they suddenly feel that the Deserted Palace with only three people can compete with ordinary "human" level forces after having them. Therefore, more and more people began to consider whether to join them.

The first to take action were the two gatekeepers. One day, they dared to cross the threshold of the deserted palace, causing Yu Shangyan to open his eyes and say coldly:

"You are so brave."

"Please forgive us, Lord Palace Master. We two just want to join the Desolate Palace. We beg you to give us a chance."

"We will serve you like slaves and be loyal to you!"

Rather than being a landowner in Lingchu City for the rest of their lives, it would be better to join the Desolate Palace. Because they joined early, they might be able to make a name for themselves. It all depends on whether Yu Shangyan agrees. The latter had no reason to refuse. What the Desolate Palace lacks now is people, and Xishu is better. Therefore, she agreed generously, making the two ecstatic.

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master."

"Go and inform those eleven people to come to the Deserted Palace and tell them that Xia Xiao and Azhu have woken up."
