After the celebration, everyone began to leave one by one.

Yuan Ming stood in the empty hall, staring straight ahead in silence.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed something and looked up to see Xi Ying, who had quietly arrived in the hall and was watching him.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Ming asked with a smile.

"I'm just feeling a bit emotional. The Beast Slave boy I met in the mountains of the Southern Border has now grown into the most powerful figure in the Yunhuang Continent. It all feels like a dream," Xi Ying said softly with a smile.

Yuan Ming looked back on the past; it was like a fast horse passing through a gap—all very vivid in his mind, and also kind of surreal.

"What are your plans next?" Xi Ying asked.

"Are you planning to set off for the Overseas World now? You founded the Double Moon Alliance with your own hands—are you really going to just abandon it?" Yuan Ming said.

"The external threats to the Yunhuang Continent have been eliminated, and the development of the Double Moon Alliance has stabilized. The rules are perfected, and with or without me, the difference isn't significant anymore," Xi Ying said, her gaze piercing through the hall to the distant horizon.

After speaking, she turned her gaze back to Yuan Ming, her eyes laden with expectations.

"After successfully breaking through to the Returning Void, the spirit vein at Chang Chun Temple offers limited help to my cultivation now. I think it's time for me to set out and see the outside world. Have you thought about who will manage the Double Moon Alliance after we leave?" Yuan Ming understood her implication and nodded.

"Yan Si Yun," Xi Ying said without hesitation.

Yuan Ming was surprised, "I thought you would choose your uncle to manage the Double Moon Alliance since he is much stronger than Yan Si Yun both in cultivation and experience."

"I know my father very well. Although he is quite talented and good at managing affairs, he is too self-interested. If he were in charge of the Double Moon Alliance, it would be difficult for him to act impartially. Over time, this would inevitably lead to internal strife and even the danger of a civil war," Xi Ying shook her head and slowly continued.

"But Yan Si Yun's experience is too shallow after all, she might not be able to command respect," Yuan Ming said with a frown.

"When it comes to managing the Double Moon Alliance, what one actually need not worry about is the issue of depth of experience. Because no matter when, the Nether Moon God and Xi Yue God are the true leaders of the Double Moon Alliance. The qualification of the manager, and the gods' opinions, weigh heavily. As long as it is someone you and I recognize and announce to the disciples, there's no need to worry about not commanding respect," Xi Ying said smilingly.

Yuan Ming nodded, the Double Moon Alliance was different from a common sect; the bond that maintained its existence was not just the organizational structure, but also faith.

As long as the faith in the Nether Moon God and Xi Yue God didn't crumble, the Double Moon Alliance wouldn't face major problems.

"Actually, besides that, what I value more is Yan Si Yun's capabilities. Over these years, she has been assisting me in managing the Double Moon Alliance. Although her cultivation is a bit weaker, her insight and strategic view are excellent. She is proficient in the Divination Skill, and her sister is very powerful. With further cultivation, she could compensate for her lack of strength," Xi Ying went on.

"That is true, it's just that their cultivation is a bit low at the moment, making it hard to deal with powerful enemies; they need another boost," Yuan Ming said upon hearing this.

Two days later, inside the secret chamber of Chaotian Peak.

Yuan Ming was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, while Yan Si Yun and her sister Yan Sijing stood in front of him, looking slightly nervous.

"Si Yun, Xi Ying must have informed you about taking over the Double Moon Alliance, right?" Yuan Ming asked.

"She did inform me... It's just that, I feel apprehensive and truly believe that I'm not up to the task," Yan Si Yun said with trepidation.

"Don't you trust yourself, or do you also doubt Xi Ying's judgment? If we've made this decision, it's because we believe you're capable of it," Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Grateful for the trust you both place in me, I will devote myself fully and live up to your expectations," Yan Si Yun replied, calming down as she listened to Yuan Ming's steady voice and bowed deeply.

Yan Sijing stood silently at the side, her face showing genuine delight.

"Very well, I've called the two of you here today to give you a gift," Yuan Ming said.

With that, he flicked his wrist and took out two crystal-clear white orbs, handing one to each of them.

The moment the white orbs appeared, a strong surge of Soul Power emanated from them.

Being Soul Cultivators, Yan Si Yun and her sister were particularly sensitive to this energy, and their faces showed shock, "Are these elixirs condensed from Soul Power?"

"More or less. These are known as Vow Power Pills. They are created by refining and condensing the essence of Desire Power. To Soul Cultivators, they are the best supplements. Taking one could raise your Soul Power by a Great Realm," Yuan Ming explained.

"Sir, such precious items should be used by you, not wasted on us," Yan Si Yun immediately bowed deeply, instinctively refusing.

"My sister is right. We should not receive such treasures," Yan Sijing said, her face showing a longing, yet she still managed to restrain herself.

"Take them. These pills are of little use to me now. Given your current strengths, you won't be able to suppress the powerful figures. With the boost from these Vow Power Pills, you'll both be able to enhance your strength considerably. That way, Xi Ying and I can rest assured when handing over the Double Moon Alliance to you," Yuan Ming said.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Si Yun and her sister reluctantly accepted the pills.

"You both absorb these pills here. I'll guard you for a while," Yuan Ming continued.

"Thank you so much, sir," they said, tears of gratitude in their eyes as they bowed in thanks.

After three full days and nights, the Yan sisters finally refined and absorbed the Vow Power Pills, reaping substantial benefits.

Yan Si Yun successfully broke through her bottleneck, reaching the Sleep Witch Realm, while Yan Si Jing advanced directly to the Peak of the Sleep Witch Realm.

Together, they were formidable enough to intimidate most of the cultivators within the Double Moon Alliance.

Another day passed, and Yuan Ming and Xi Ying gathered the core members of the Double Moon Alliance. In front of them, they handed over the Blood Puppet Armor sealed with Tian Jizi to Yan Si Yun and announced her succession as the new Alliance Hierarch of the Double Moon Alliance.

Initially, everyone was shocked beyond belief, but after reflecting on it, they all felt that no one was more suitable than her, and they congratulated her one after another.

Xi Zheng was quite displeased with this decision. However, as it was a joint decision made by Xi Ying and Yuan Ming, there was nothing he could do about it.

Subsequently, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying announced the sealing off of Chaotian Peak, entering seclusion to comprehend the great Dao. Unless it was a matter of life and death for the Double Moon Alliance, no one was allowed to approach.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Double Moon Alliance solemnly agreed and withdrew from Chaotian Peak.

Seven days later. Tо suppоrt оur wоrk, plеаsе rеаd оn

Dense white fog appeared atop Chaotian Peak, enshrouding the entire mountain so that Divine Sense could not penetrate it. Any who touched the fog were devoured by it.

At the border of Da Jin Country, two figures stood silently, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying.

"Why bother with such a lie? It will be exposed sooner or later," Yuan Ming said.

"Even with the Blood Puppet Armor, Yan Si Yun and Yan Si Jing's strength is still insufficient. Using our reputations, for at least a hundred years, no one will dare to make a move. With this time, the Yan sisters will also be able to grow," Xi Ying said.

Yuan Ming nodded at these words, gazing longingly toward his homeland.

This time he was truly leaving, and it was uncertain when he would be able to return.

He patted the Spiritual Beast Bag at his waist, and the Three-eyed Crow flew out, landing in front of him.

The body of the Three-eyed Crow had grown significantly, its black feathers emanating wisps of black aura. Both its appearance and aura were entirely different from before.

Originally a third-level peak demon beast, the Three-eyed Crow had at last made a breakthrough after more than a hundred years and reached the Level 4 Realm.

"This journey to the Overseas World is exceedingly dangerous. Although you have reached Level 4, the risk of going there is still too great. You don't need to follow me anymore," Yuan Ming said as he gently stroked the Three-eyed Crow's head.

The Three-eyed Crow had always followed Yuan Ming, aware that he was about to venture to the Overseas World. But it was a mere demon beast with an innate fear of the volatile Overseas World.

Hearing this, the Three-eyed Crow relaxed, yet in its gaze toward Yuan Ming, a sense of reluctance was evident as it nuzzled his hand.

"Your potential is far less than that of Hua Zhi, Vajra, and Lei Yu. When I first took you as a spirit beast, it was an impulsive act, and I have not deliberately cultivated you over the years. Now that our separation is imminent, I present this to you as a reward," Yuan Ming, moved by emotion, patted the Three-eyed Crow's head and took out a Vow Power Pill, tossing it upwards.

The Three-eyed Crow let out a delighted cry of excitement, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky. It swallowed the Vow Power Pill in one gulp, then circled in the air, refining the demonic power.

In a short moment, its Demon Soul surged, reaching the Level 4 Peak.

Its three eyes shot out terrifyingly bright lights, especially the third eye on its forehead, which shone like a fierce sword light, with powerful Soul Power fluctuations spreading for dozens of miles around.

Yuan Ming showed a look of surprise. The Vow Power Pill's effect on the Three-eyed Crow was exceptionally remarkable, even surpassing that of Yan Si Yun and Yan Si Jing.

Demon beasts were innately strong in body and had thicker demonic power compared to cultivators of the same level. Their only weakness was the Divine Soul. Now that the Three-eyed Crow had just entered Level 4, its Soul Power had reached the Level 4 Peak. As it advanced in realm, its Divine Soul would continue to strengthen, indicating a high chance for the beast to break through to Level 5!

"Your Three-eyed Crow seems to be a mutant demon beast, very compatible with the Vow Power Pill. Do you want to bestow another Vow Power Pill and let the Three-eyed Crow's Divine Soul break through to Level 5 Realm?" Xi Ying suggested.

"No," Yuan Ming shook his head.

Although the Three-eyed Crow was not a Soul Cultivator, refining consecutive Vow Power Pills could easily lead to issues with the Divine Soul.

The Three-eyed Crow had now fully absorbed the Vow Power Pill and was feeling the changes in its Soul Power, screeching excitedly as it flapped its wings wildly in the sky.

After causing quite a ruckus for a while, the Three-eyed Crow calmed down and landed in front of Yuan Ming, its eyes filled with gratitude.

"Good. Your strength has greatly improved. In the future, watch over the Double Moon Alliance for me," Yuan Ming said.

The Three-eyed Crow promised repeatedly before flapping its wings and soaring away into the distant horizon.

"Let's go," Yuan Ming said as he too took flight.

"To the East Sea?" Xi Ying asked, following him.

"No, there are still some matters to attend to. I have to make a trip to the Southern Border," Yuan Ming shook his head, his gaze turning southward.
