The Blue Star Academy Master Ding Huan's grand wedding attracted almost all the sects, families, and alliances from the Blue Star Academy.

At this moment, the unity on Blue Star Divine Land was unprecedented.

Whether sincerely or insincerely, everyone who came to Blue Star Academy felt grateful to Ding Sect Master.

Without Ding Sect Master, there would be no present Blue Star Divine Land.

One must know, after the calamity, finding a place with perfect Heaven and Earth Rules for cultivation is extremely difficult.

Ding Huan courteously entertained every person who came to congratulate him.

That's because Ding Huan also knew in his heart that he couldn't stay on Blue Star Divine Land for too long.

In the Vast Universe, stepping into the First Transformation of the Saint Realm is considered the pinnacle of cultivation for many people.

For Ding Huan, this was just the true beginning of the Great Dao.

There may be countless powerful beings in the universe, and if it weren't for repeated calamities destroying one boundary and star land after another...

Blue Star Divine Land is insignificantly small in the Vast Universe.

Not to mention others, even Chunyi Divine Realm's Taoist Ancestor Quan, or Taoist Ancestor Xing Ga that he sent to Chunyi Divine Realm, even Wu Liang and Yue Jinya.

These individuals were once all reputedly renowned beings.

Any of them, at their peak, could easily surpass him, Ding Huan.

Even after many cosmic calamities, these individuals remained surviving by any means.

It's likely none of these people truly perished, or that even if they did, they had ways to come back to life.

Should the day come when these individuals return, Blue Star Divine Land would be seen by them as merely a dish.

So he must enhance his power, at least to protect Blue Star Divine Land before they return.

In order to strengthen himself, he must leave this plane of existence.

This plane's Heaven and Earth Rules offer him no way to increase his power.

As the commotion and excitement subsided, Ding Huan finally returned to his wedding room.

Qu Yi sat nervously at the bedside, preserving the hometown tradition of having her head covered with a red cloth, waiting for her lifelong companion to uncover her.

Looking at Qu Yi quietly sitting there waiting, Ding Huan's eyes slightly reddened.

He once again heard the words Qu Yi had said to him in the past:

"When I die, please donate my eyes to him; he's still so young..."

The past seemed like a series of images rapidly flashing through Ding Huan's mind.

Through the vicissitudes of time, it felt like they had returned to the starting point.

He had imagined countless times being with that girl, accompanying her...

Perhaps sensing Ding Huan's long pause, Qu Yi softly called out, "Brother Ding..."

She felt somewhat uneasy.

Ding Huan walked beside Qu Yi, gently lifting her veil, looking at her matchlessly clear eyes, with countless words wanting to escape his heart, yet he didn't know where to start.

"Yi Yi, I..."

Ding Huan felt a pang of guilt; he knew what Qu Yi wanted from the start, yet he had always been striving to enhance his cultivation.

Qu Yi gently placed her hand over Ding Huan's mouth: "When I was in the Nurturing God realm, I awakened memories of my past life; I understand.

If one day, you can return to Earth, please take me back with you, I feel a bit homesick."

Ding Huan embraced Qu Yi, knowing that in the Vast Universe, he was Qu Yi's only home.

No matter how strong Qu Yi's cultivation became, no matter which plane of the universe she reached, she was still the Earth's homesick young girl.

...

This was already the fifth month of Ding Huan's grand wedding.

Because the Blue Star Academy Master was still within the Sect, the entire Blue Star Academy flourished.

Numerous cultivators yearned to join Blue Star Academy, but the Academy's requirements for recruiting disciples grew increasingly stringent.

Having good aptitude was not enough to join Blue Star Academy.

The Academy's recruitment of disciples involves comprehensive evaluation, and aptitude is sometimes placed after cultivation.

Those who wanted to join Blue Star Academy diligently worked on improving their own strength.

Blue Star Divine Land was restored by Ding Huan, but it didn't have many Secret Realms.

To seek opportunities and enhance strength, the best place to go was the Dao Ruins.

Many elders of Blue Star Academy were in seclusion, improving their cultivation.

The only exception was the Great Saint Min Yuan.

Min Yuan not only refrained from going into seclusion to enhance his cultivation, but also actively requested to manage the Dao Ruins, often wandering around Dao Ruins Street all day.

Many people couldn't understand Min Yuan's reasoning.

It was said that Min Yuan, the Supreme Elder, was the most powerful person in Blue Star Academy, so why did this most powerful person spend his days idly wandering around Dao Ruins Street?

Only Min Yuan knew in his heart why he wandered there.

He could live comfortably under any change or calamity.

Moreover, Min Yuan was always a person above others.

No matter when, Min Yuan was a commanding presence, high above.

But Min Yuan felt a difference in Blue Star Divine Land.

On this star land, he was still a high-standing presence.

Wherever he went, he was revered as the Supreme Elder of Blue Star Academy.

The difference was, Min Yuan knew that on Blue Star Divine Land, the reverence he received mostly came from the sincere depths of others' hearts, a true admiration.

The previous awe he commanded from others was mostly due to his overwhelming power, forcing them to respect him.

This is the difference; this kind of genuine respect is what Min Yuan truly appreciated.

He needed this kind of reverence, or else he wouldn't have given himself the title of a Great Saint.

Of course, this wasn't the main reason he was wandering outside.

He wandered because he knew that closing himself off was meaningless.

Though the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Blue Star Divine Land are constantly being perfected, they are still insufficient for him, a Fourth Transformation Saint, to advance to the Fifth Transformation Saint level.

So there wasn't much difference whether he retreated or not.

He was wandering here simply to wait for Ding Huan.

Knowing his vast knowledge, Ding Huan would likely take him along when he eventually travels to the Chunyi Divine Realm or seeks higher cultivation worlds.

He was certain that Ding Huan wouldn't stay long on the Blue Star Divine Land.

If not for Ding Huan's grand marriage, he might have left the Blue Star Divine Land long ago.

If Ding Huan was content with the present, then Min Yuan must be blind.

To improve his strength, Ding Huan must leave the Blue Star Divine Land.

The reason is the same as his own; if he, Min Yuan, couldn't advance his cultivation here, Ding Huan certainly could not.

...

Ding Huan spent every day with Qu Yi, recently not leaving her side for a moment.

Because Qu Yi carried his bloodline.

For cultivators, pregnancy isn't a matter of ten months.

Given Ding Huan and Qu Yi's cultivation strength, even with Ding Huan's bloodline, nurturing it would take several years, decades, or even longer.

This is why many couples in the Divine World have children born at a new starting point when it comes to power.

Many of their abilities are indeed Innate Divine Abilities.

These Innate Divine Abilities can only be passed to their bloodline children if the parents possess them.

Although they stayed together daily, Ding Huan was not idle, teaching Qu Yi various Array Dao techniques.

The Blue Star Academy is stable now, but who knows what the future holds?

That day, as Ding Huan was teaching Qu Yi the Five-Level Poison Transformation Divine Array, a message reached him through the Communication Bead in his hand.

"Is there something from the Sect?" Qu Yi gently looked at Ding Huan and asked.

If it wasn't important, the sect wouldn't disturb Ding Huan at this time.

Everyone knew Ding Huan and she were newly married.

"It's Ku Ya." Ding Huan directly sent a message out.

Soon, Ku Ya appeared in front of Ding Huan, bowing respectfully, "Ku Ya greets the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master."

Ding Huan greatly appreciated Ku Ya's ability.

After observing for a long time in the Blue Star Academy, Ku Ya's capability was the strongest.

Even the old hand, Yuanqing, was far inferior to Ku Ya.

"Is there something going on?" Ding Huan asked.

Ku Ya carefully said, "Someone from the Ku Family found me, telling me the Ku Family must control the Blue Star Divine Land and needs me to cooperate with them, choosing the time after you leave."

"They?" Ding Huan looked at Ku Ya in astonishment.

He wasn't bothered by Ku Ya's words; he could even guess who looked for Ku Ya—it must be Ku San Sang, whom he had gotten rid of.

Because of his marriage to Qu Yi, he had delayed.

Logically, he should have finished off Ku San Sang as soon as he retrieved the Eternal God Wheel.

Although Ku San Sang seemed killed on the surface, Ding Huan knew there was no way it could be thorough.

Back then, the Blue Star Divine Land was indeed Ku San Sang's old haunt; if Ku San Sang hadn't left many soul fragments here, Ding Huan wouldn't believe it himself.

However, not getting rid of Ku San Sang was not a bad thing; it would make Ku San Sang think he couldn't find those soul fragments of his.

Ding Huan chuckled inwardly because he actually could.

With the Great Gene Technique, relying on gene-based killing methods, he could wipe out a Divine World clan, let alone a mere Ku San Sang?

Ku Ya hurriedly explained, "It's Ku San Sang and Ku Xinren."

"Ku Xinren?" Ding Huan looked at Ku Ya in surprise:

"I remember it was Ku Xinren who pointed you to find the Blue Star Divine Land, right?"

Ku Ya nodded, "Yes, but I know his intentions. He marked me, sending me here simply to be his vanguard.

Moreover, the first time Ku Xinren saw me, he intended to possess me.

But seeing I was in a female body and my aptitude not so extraordinary, he gave up on possession and turned to use me instead."

"Why do you want to help me and not the Ku Family?"

Ku Ya shook her head, "I never considered myself a Ku Family member. It was the Ku Family who killed my grandfather and father because they believed my grandfather had tainted the Ku Family's noble bloodline."

"Why do you also carry the surname Ku?"

Ku Ya replied, "Because my father also had the surname Ku, but had nothing to do with the noble bloodline the Ku Family believed to have.

The reason I have a trace of the Ku Family bloodline is because my grandmother brought it; my grandmother was a Ku Family member.

After the Ku Family found out about my grandfather and grandmother, they relentlessly hunted him. Despite hiding for decades, they still killed my grandfather and then my father. At that time, my mother was just pregnant with me, and I was born without a father."

Even though Ku Ya spoke calmly, Ding Huan could hear the hatred she held against the Ku Family from her tone.
