With five years remaining until the conclusion of the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb, Tan Yun, who was in the Fang Sheng Hall, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his gaze filled with determination.
After spending tens of millions of years in Fang Sheng Hall, Tan Yun had finally mastered the primordial chaos god-slaying sword technique, the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation, and the eternal divine spear technique to perfection.
"Yunxi, we should leave now," Tan Yun conveyed through sound transmission.
"Mm." Yu Yunxi, who was in Training Room No. 2, stepped into Training Room No. 1 with anticipation. She opened her delicate lips, her voice melodious, "Tan Yun, how strong is your ability to challenge above your level now?"
Tan Yun shook his head, "I'm not sure about the specifics, but the higher my cultivation realm, the stronger my ability to challenge above my level."
"Although I'm currently only at the first layer of the ancestral sage realm, I should be able to eliminate a third layer dao god realm expert, and I might even be lucky enough to kill a fourth layer dao god realm expert."
"So strong?" Yu Yunxi's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
"Mm." Tan Yun smiled brightly, "Of course, this is just my guess; I really don't know how strong I actually am."
"You are truly impressive." Admiration shone in Yu Yunxi's eyes, "You are the most talented man I have ever seen, truly one of a kind in this world."
After a slight smile, Tan Yun said, "How about this: to be safe, let's erase our memories of killing the third princess and the fifth prince. This way, even if your father investigates, he won’t suspect us."
"I was just thinking the same thing." After replying, Yu Yunxi and Tan Yun together erased their memories of killing the pair of siblings.
This method of memory erasure was different from simply wiping memories; wiping memories meant forgetting, while cutting memories allowed one to know internally, but others could not search their memories for the memories of killing Yu Yunyi and Yu Shan.
"Yunxi, bear with it a little longer in Fang Sheng Hall; I’ll say goodbye to my grandfather."
Tan Yun left these words and stepped out of Fang Sheng Hall, kneeling before the shattered gravestone.
With sincere emotion, Tan Yun spoke, "Grandfather, I am leaving. Rest assured, I will remember your teachings."
"To kill enemies and seek revenge, to maintain peace, one day, I will carry out your will and charge into the Sea of Demons."
"I can only trouble you for now; once I conquer the entire supreme ancestor realm, I will recreate a burial site for you and our family."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After bowing three times, Tan Yun stood up, storing Fang Sheng Hall into his right ear, and then flew out through the Seven-Colored Divine Gate, which closed slowly with a deafening sound...
As time turned, three years later, the sun rose.
In the Heaven Devouring secret realm, at Return Peak.
This peak reached fifty million zhang high and was the location to return to the Imperial Palace's Xuanwu Dojo.
At that moment, nearly twenty-three thousand people had gathered at the summit of Return Peak, discussing among themselves:
"The hour is almost here; why haven't the third princess, fifth prince, and seventh princess returned yet?"
"Yeah! What if something happened?"
"Everyone, stop worrying! The third princess and fifth prince have four thousand people protecting them. What could possibly happen? As for the seventh princess, you need not worry; she is the emperor's most beloved princess; who would dare to harm her?"
"That’s true..."
"Huh? That's strange, not a single one of the three thousand talents loyal to the East Town Grand Marshal's residence has returned."
"Yes... indeed..."
"Everyone, look, the seventh princess is back!"
Someone exclaimed, and everyone turned to look. They saw Yu Yunxi and the white-haired Tan Yun flying through the vast void, landing at the summit of Return Peak.
"We greet the seventh princess!"
The nearly twenty-three thousand young nobles bowed deeply to Yu Yunxi.
