At this moment, Dark Moon City was completely under the control of the Great Sage.

However, just as everyone was looking at the Great Sage with fear, the Great Sage, with a face full of self-blame, found Chu Xinghe.

"Saint... I have let you down... I've lost too much cultivation level, and this useless old man actually let such a little guy escape... I truly am a waste!"

A group of people from the Dark Moon Clan sighed in unison...

Indeed, our Dark Moon Clan has fallen; even our strongest Great Sage has become so crippled. We are truly a clan of failures.

In the past, when the Great Sage activated the Dark Moon Array, it would cover hundreds of miles in an instant... Forget about escaping, you couldn't even move without our Great Sage allowing it.

But just now, did you see the Great Sage's Dark Moon Array? It took a whole slap to deal with a wandering ghost. In the past, when a demon crawled out with one hand, that ghost would have been scared out of its wits.

The Great Sage, full of self-blame, said to the Saint, "I am a useless old man, I have let you down, I actually let that Tantai Jing escape... I shouldn't have activated the Dark Moon Array just now."

"I should have just self-destructed upon entering..."

Hearing the Great Sage's words, Chu Xinghe was moved to tears...

What... Do you even listen to what you're saying?

So... Was the Martial Emperor considered trash in your era?

Have you considered that this era is no longer yours?

Is it really okay for you to criticize everything like this?

As for self-destruction... Chu Xinghe sternly instructed the Great Sage that unless ordered by him, self-destruction was absolutely forbidden.

Goodness, if you had self-destructed just now, I don't know if Tantai Jing would have died... but Zheng Yu probably wouldn't have even had a whole body left.

The scene was somewhat out of control, especially for Zheng Yu, who had witnessed everything firsthand and was now utterly confused.

Who the hell has ever seen a peak Martial Emperor declare themselves a waste for no reason?

Did I, Zheng Yu, travel through time? Is this really the Blazing Sun Continent?

As everyone gradually regained their senses, groups of people continuously found Chu Xinghe to express their gratitude.

In this Dark Moon City incident, some of them had walked in out of greed, while others were captured by Tantai Jing. But no matter what, without Senior Brother Xinghe, they would have surely died.

After all, with Tantai Jing controlling Dark Moon City, he was the sole ruler of this relic.

As for the Great Sage, who kept muttering about being a waste, no one dared to ask who he really was.

Chu Xinghe numbly accepted everyone's gratitude and even comforted the ancestors of the Dark Moon Clan.

You guys from the Dark Moon Clan keep acting all high and mighty, are you really the Dark Moon Clan or the Versailles Clan?

After comforting the Dark Moon Clan, Chu Xinghe also found the treasure vault of Dark Moon City.

The dazzling array of exotic treasures and spirit stones almost made Chu Xinghe's eyes pop out...

He immediately declared that everyone must share!

However, when Senior Brother Xinghe suggested everyone loot the treasures together, the crowd's expressions changed drastically.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, are you insulting us by saying this?"

"We almost lost our lives entering Dark Moon City this time. It was you, Senior Brother Xinghe, who saved everyone, and now you want us to share the treasures?"

"We are also on the righteous path... we have our pride... if we take these treasures, how will we face the world outside?"

Zheng Yu was the first to jump out.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, your virtue is unparalleled, but my Martial Emperor City will not accept a single bit of these treasures. You don't need to say more!"

"That's right! Brother Zheng Yu is right. Without Senior Brother Xinghe, we would have been killed by Tantai Jing. How can we have the face to ask for treasures?"

One by one, they all expressed that they must act like decent people and absolutely cannot take any treasures, or else they wouldn't be considered human.

Chu Xinghe was teary-eyed at this moment... Could you guys please act like decent people...

Can't you share a bit of the burden for me, Senior Brother Xinghe? Are you even human?

None of the righteous sects even glanced at the treasure vault, and some even suggested giving some spirit stones to thank Senior Brother Xinghe for saving their lives.

Fortunately, Zheng Yu acted decently this time, pointing at the person who suggested giving spirit stones and saying, "Are you insulting our Senior Brother Xinghe with that suggestion?"

"Is Senior Brother Xinghe someone who cares about spirit stones?"

Thanks to Zheng Yu's words, no one ended up giving spirit stones to thank Chu Xinghe.

After a brief rest, everyone had mostly recovered, and Zheng Yu led the people from Martial Emperor City to bid farewell.

Chu Xinghe calmly saw Zheng Yu off, and the others followed suit in leaving.

But as they left, they all expressed that if there were similar relics in the future, as long as Senior Brother Xinghe went, they would let him choose first. What did that mean?

Damn it, I won't be able to explore any relics in the future!

After everyone left, the Great Sage waved the full moon staff, and the entire Dark Moon City rose into the air, finally turning into a stream of light and entering the Dark Moon Shuttle.

The Great Sage then led everyone out of the relic.

Upon reaching the outside world, Chu Xinghe was utterly confused.

Damn it, I still don't understand... what did I even do during this relic expedition...

I came to avoid treasures, but I couldn't avoid them, and I ended up taking over the Dark Moon Clan... Now you hear the Dark Moon Clan shouting "God Bless Grand Sky Sect" louder than our own disciples.

But can I blame myself? It's all Tantai Jing's fault, that idiot.

Why didn't you just take Dark Moon City and leave? Why did you have to mess with others?

Are you crazy?

With endless sorrow, Chu Xinghe crushed the Flute of Time and Space. Under the white light, everyone was successfully transported back to the Grand Sky Sect by the light of the Flute of Time and Space.

Chu Xinghe was teary-eyed... Finally... the Flute of Time and Space worked properly for once. Ever since I first got it, this thing has never worked right.

After arranging for Gu Feng and the others to return to their respective palaces, Chu Xinghe led the Dark Moon Clan straight to the Grand Sky Palace.

Soon, the entire Grand Sky Sect was alarmed by the sudden arrival of the Dark Moon Clan.

Almost all the strong figures of the Grand Sky Sect rushed to the Grand Sky Palace.

Sect Master Gu Mingchao and the Great Elder's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The other elders also looked at the Great Sage An Zhi with unfriendly expressions.

It's not that the Grand Sky Sect is unfriendly, but the Great Sage's words were somewhat unkind.

"Saint... is this the Grand Sky Sect? Even a waste can be a Sect Master?" The Great Sage was stunned upon seeing Gu Mingchao.

Gu Mingchao was stunned too...

What the hell is this? I'm supposed to be the number one in the world... and now I'm being called a waste to my face, is that polite?

If it weren't for Xinghe standing beside you, you'd be a dead man by now, you know?

Chu Xinghe was moved to tears, but soon, with his explanation, the tense atmosphere dissipated.

Instead, the entire Grand Sky Sect looked at the Dark Moon Clan in confusion.

Even the most knowledgeable Elder He had never heard of the Dark Moon Clan from any ancient texts, though there were some vague records about Dark Moon City, but very few.

As for the era mentioned by the Dark Moon Clan... Elder He had never heard of it, not even in unofficial histories.

But that wasn't the main issue. When a few members of the Dark Moon Clan demonstrated the miracle of resurrection on the spot, the entire Grand Sky Palace almost exploded.

Xinghe... isn't the Dark Moon Clan you brought back a bit too fierce?

A group of beings with immortality? A group of terrifying individuals of unknown rank?

A group that casually states there's no difference between a Martial Emperor and a waste?

But the key is, you can't even refute them because what they're saying is true.

And now the biggest problem is how to accommodate the Dark Moon Clan.

The Dark Moon Clan didn't have any demands. The Great Sage immediately stated that the Dark Moon Clan could see the light of day again because of the Saint, so the Saint is their future. As long as they follow the Saint, the Dark Moon Clan doesn't care about anything else.

But while the Dark Moon Clan doesn't care, the Grand Sky Sect does. Everyone knows how terrifying the Dark Moon Clan is.

A group of immortal beings, their presence signifies eternal prosperity for the Grand Sky Sect. As long as they remain in the Grand Sky Sect, nothing can shake its status.

Ultimately, Chu Xinghe expressed his opinion.

Build a Dark Moon Palace in the Grand Sky Sect. It's not troublesome; just find a mountain and drop Dark Moon City on it.

Then, the Great Sage An Zhi retains the title of Great Sage. Although the Grand Sky Sect doesn't have this position, we can add it.

As for the Great Sage's status... it will be equivalent to the head of each palace.

Everyone agreed with Xinghe's proposal, as the strength of the Great Sage An Zhi was evident, and the addition of the Dark Moon Clan was undoubtedly a tremendous boost for the Grand Sky Sect.

The Great Sage had some objections to Chu Xinghe's arrangement, saying, "How can a waste like me be an elder?"

This made the situation a bit awkward... a group of elders from the Grand Sky Sect were teary-eyed.

After intense discussions, the meeting finally adjourned, but the Sect Master and the Great Elder kept Xinghe behind.

"Xinghe... you need to make sure the Great Sage and his people understand this world quickly..."

Chu Xinghe nodded eagerly at the Sect Master's arrangement.

Actually, Sect Master, even if you didn't say it, I would have to teach them quickly. Goodness, they keep saying they're waste, who wouldn't feel bad hearing that?

In the following days, Chu Xinghe personally took the Great Sage and the Dark Moon Clan to choose a mountain peak, where Dark Moon City was placed, and the Dark Moon Palace became the new top combat power of the Grand Sky Sect.

But compared to the formation of the Dark Moon Palace, Chu Xinghe was exhausted. Every day, he had to explain to the Dark Moon Clan what this world was like, telling them that while they might have been considered waste in their era, here... many people's lifelong goal is to become such "waste"... so please spare everyone.

I must say, the Dark Moon Clan's ability to adapt was truly strong. In just a few days, the Great Sage, through gradually understanding this world, finally stopped saying things like he's a waste and unworthy.

But just when Chu Xinghe thought he had accomplished a great feat, something even more speechless happened...
