Chapter 598 A Day Before Departure
The following day, Xia Tian immediately entered the Ancient Sacred Realm upon returning to his room, but he was surprised to see a new figure inside.
Mu Ruxue and the others didn't say anything to him, and they only stifled their laughter at Xia Tian's reaction to Shen Huang's new appearance.
"Big Brother!" Shen Huang called out timidly, especially seeing Xia Tian's reaction; she was afraid he would not spoil her anymore.
"Little Huang?" Xia Tian called out in surprise. Because Shen Huang's appearance had drastically changed, and she had now become a teenager. 'Scan her, Alice!'
[Alrighty!]
...

...
'Hmm?' Xia Tian's eyes widened in shock at Shen Huang's new Status. 'How come she suddenly became a teenager overnight?'
Alice then spoke to him. [Hey, master! If I remember correctly, Little Huang's situation is similar to that person's.]
Xia Tian naturally knew the identity of the person Alice was referring to. 'You're right, that woman has several seals on her body, and every time the seal is broken, she instantly becomes more and more mature. However, how did Little Huang's spiritual root become the dual spiritual root? Light and darkness.'
[You shouldn't be surprised by that, right? After all, Little Huang has two other consciousnesses within her, one is light, and the other is darkness.]
Xia Tian nodded in understanding and asked again. 'Can't you detect her bloodline, Alice?'
[I cannot detect it, master.]
Seeing Xia Tian like that, Shen Huang immediately approached him, took his hand, and shook it slowly. "Big Brother, do you find me strange?"
Xia Tian came back to his senses and gently patted her head. "No, I was just surprised by your sudden change, but I once met someone in a similar situation."
"En." Shen Huang nodded and hugged Xia Tian. "Could you teach me a transformation technique? I don't want to continue using an adult body like this."
"Why don't you want to use your adult body?" Xia Tian asked in confusion. "Moreover, you are so beautiful like this."
"No!" Shen Huang shook her head vigorously. "If I mature like this, you won't spoil me anymore."
Xia Tian was stunned upon hearing that, and he did not expect Shen Huang to give such an answer. He sighed softly and touched her forehead, imparting the Myriad Transformation technique to her.
"Yay!" Shen Huang exclaimed happily and quickly learned the technique, and a few moments later, she turned her body back into a small one. After that, she jumped into Xia Tian's arms and pecked his cheeks. "Hehe! This way, you'll still spoil me!"
"Whether you use your adult or small body, you are still my Little Huang." Xia Tian said with a shake of the head as he carried her in his arms and brought her in front of the other women.
"Master! When are you going to dual cultivate with me?" Jin Ye asked with a pout; she couldn't wait to do it with Xia Tian.
Xia Tian sighed softly. "Tomorrow morning, we're leaving for the realm where the Oracle lives, and our journey takes two months to go back and forth, so we'll do it all the way there, okay?"
Jin Ye nodded repeatedly. "Okay! You don't go back on your word anymore!"
"Tian, Big Sis Xiao came in earlier and left this pill for you." Mu Ruxue said as she handed a pill bottle to him.
Xia Tian accepted it and checked the bottle's contents directly; two pills were inside. "This is really good."
After discussing things with them, Xia Tian came out of his space to meet Su Fei and Mo Xiaoqi, asking them to prepare for their long journey.
After that, Xia Tian went to meet Shui Liuli, who was chatting with her half-sister, and he also asked her to prepare for tomorrow. However, he had no intention of bringing Shui Yan along with them, especially since their relationship had never been close in the first place.
"Does that mean the two of you will be leaving the sect?" Shui Yan asked him.
Xia Tian shook his head and answered her. "We'll just be going somewhere else for the time being, and we'll be back here when everything's settled."
"I see." Shui Yan nodded in understanding but did not intend to ask about their departure. Moreover, she no longer has feelings for Xia Tian, and she has found another man that interests her.
After that, Xia Tian went to the Formation Array Hall and ran into Yun Xin.
"Where is Xian'er now?" Xia Tian asked her because he couldn't find her with his senses.
Yun Xin frowned and wondered in her heart after hearing his question. 'Why does he call master by her name directly? Do they also have a special relationship?' "Master is in the dungeon below her room; you can go there directly to meet her."
"All right." Xia Tian nodded, but before he went there, he asked her again. "What about Yun Feng and Huo Jun? I haven't seen them in the past month."
"Hmm?" Yun Xin recalled everything first before answering his question. "My little brother and Huo Jun have left the sect for the past month; they have gone to seek experience in the outside world."
"Oh?" Xia Tian was surprised to hear that.
Yun Xin sighed softly and explained it to him. "Ever since they were attacked by the demons back then, coupled with your cultivation speed, it makes them feel extremely weak. That's why they decided to take on multiple missions at once, and I don't know when they will return to the sect."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding. From the start, he felt that Yun Feng and Huo Jun had the mentality of true cultivators, and he was satisfied with their decision to seek experience in the outside world. That way, they could develop more quickly. "That's good; I hope they train hard; that way, they can better protect themselves in the future."
"En." Yun Xin nodded in agreement with him; she herself felt happy about her little brother's decision.
After that, Xia Tian went to see Feng Xian'er but found that she was seriously preparing some formations, and he decided not to disturb her.
After leaving the Formation Array Hall, Xia Tian decided to go to the gravity field again. This time, he pushed himself to the limit to train at level 8 and trained late into the night.

Vermilion Capital Palace
After Shui Lihao agreed to become her successor, Zhu Yuhe gathered Xia Ling and her other generals, and she explained to them about the transfer of authority from her to him.
Xia Ling was not surprised by her decision because he already knew that Xia Tian would bring all of his women to the Holy Central Continent in the future. Zhu Yuhe was one of his women, so she couldn't help but have to find a successor to rule the southern continent, and Shui Lihao was indeed the most suitable person to replace her.
However, Ling Xiao and the other generals were shocked by Zhu Yuhe's sudden decision, and they began questioning her decision.
"I know what you guys are thinking, but I won't change my mind again." Zhu Yuhe then looked at her generals one by one. "Moreover, Shui Lihao has popularity on par with me, and he is a wise king, so I believe he can bring about significant changes to this southern continent in the future."
"But why did you decide it so suddenly, Empress?" Ling Xiao asked.
Zhu Yuhe sighed and shook her head. "I'm sorry, General Xiao. I can't tell you my reasons yet, but you will find out in the future."
With her current Status, Zhu Yuhe naturally couldn't tell them that she was one of Xia Tian's women. If she told them that now, it would cause an uproar in the southern continent, especially since those people knew he was her daughter's husband.
In the end, they could only helplessly accept Zhu Yuhe's decision. Moreover, Shui Lihao was indeed worthy of being her successor, and they were also confident that he could govern the southern continent well.
Zhu Yuhe then ordered them over. "In that case, you guys can prepare everything from now on, and we will carry out my handover of authority to Shui Lihao within the next three months."
"Yes, Empress." The people answered in unison and left the place at once.
After they left, Zhou Xuan asked her. "Do you think Tian can reach Heaven Origin Realm in three months, Yuhe?"
"I don't know." Zhu Yuhe shook her head at her, especially since she had yet to attempt to re-cultivate herself, so she could not be sure of Xia Tian's cultivation speed. "However, there are a lot of strong women by his side now; I think he might be able to do it in three months."
"I hope it's true." After that, they left the hall.
