A moment later, Han Yi climbed up Azure Dragon Peak and headed towards his own courtyard.
To his surprise, his courtyard had not changed ownership and still belonged to him. He triggered the restriction with his divine sense, and the courtyard door opened as Han Yi stepped in.
There was no change in the courtyard from more than three years ago.
Who had preserved his courtyard?
Han Yi’s first thought was of Xuandan Sect’s Master Yuan Shun, who had found him several times before and might have guessed his true strength. He knew that Han Yi was hiding his strength, but did not expose him.
His second thought was of Bai Wanqing. Bai Wanqing was Luo Yunzhou’s master, and Luo Yunzhou had died in Daofu City. She should have known of his death by now.
Luo Yunzhou had gone down the mountain with him, and after Bai Wanqing’s investigation, she found that Han Yi was missing. She preserved his courtyard, and although it was a small possibility, it could not be ruled out.
As the third possibility, there might have been new changes in the Earth Ranking that he didn’t know about, such as policy changes.
However, no matter what, his courtyard had not been taken back, which was what Han Yi was happy to see.
After making some minor adjustments, he put the black Immortal Mansion Token in a jade box and hid it in a secluded spot inside the courtyard. Then Han Yi went out and hurried to Azure Dragon Palace.
According to both sentiment and reason, he needed to see Bai Wanqing as soon as possible.
The second time he met Bai Wanqing, she still looked stunning.
Her eyes were bright, her hair was coiled up in a silver bun, and her facial features were incomparably astonishing.
However, unlike the first time they met when Bai Wanqing didn’t get up, this time she was standing at the railing of the Azure Dragon Palace, looking out over the Cloud Sea.
Han Yi glanced at her and found that Bai Wanqing was shorter than Chu Jinmo, probably about 1.68 meters tall. She wore a tight-fitting robe, and both her figure and appearance were stunning. In terms of figure alone, she was even better than Yan Ru by a fraction.
“I knew about Yunzhou’s death three years ago.”
Bai Wanqing’s tone sounded somewhat sad. She had nearly ten disciples under her name, and every one of them had a genuine master-disciple relationship with her.
According to the broad definition of Dao partners, masters and disciples included, Luo Yunzhou’s death naturally saddened her.
“But where have you been for these three years?”
Bai Wanqing didn’t turn her head and casually asked.
Han Yi bowed: “Your disciple was trapped in a formation and spent more than three years breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation before finally escaping.”
Han Yi didn’t reveal everything about the mysterious place, but merely said he was trapped in a formation.
Bai Wanqing nodded. When Luo Yunzhou’s soul lamp went out, she had gone to Daofu City and tried to find Han Yi but found that he had disappeared. Unable to trace him with her Foundation Establishment abilities, she returned to the sect and asked the location of the inner disciples’ Soul Lamps. When she learned that Han Yi’s soul lamp had not gone out, she guessed that he might have found an Immortal Affinity or been trapped somewhere.
In any case, Han Yi was still alive.
“Elder Bai, did you keep my courtyard?” Han Yi asked.
Bai Wanqing nodded.
“Although there is a new policy in the sect, those who go out and may be trapped or encounter danger but whose soul lamps have not gone out, their courtyards will still be protected.”
As expected, Han Yi had guessed correctly.
Han Yi cupped his hands in thanks: “Thank you, Elder Bai.”
Bai Wanqing waved her hand: “I merely reported your information and did not do anything myself, so there’s no need to thank me.”
“By the way, your cultivation progress is not slow, and there have been many interesting changes in the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings in recent years. When you have time, pay more attention.”
“Cultivating in seclusion all the time is not advisable.”
“You may leave.”
With thanks, Han Yi left the Azure Dragon Palace with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The changes in the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings had even caught Bai Wanqing’s attention. It seemed that he had indeed missed out on a lot during these three years.
His interest piqued, Han Yi headed towards Combat Peak.
When Han Yi arrived at Combat Peak, he almost couldn’t recognize it.
The Combat Peak at this moment was no longer the same as it was three years ago; its area had expanded more than three times. For cultivators, ‘moving mountains’ was naturally not a problem.
At the top of the peak, there were originally only one Combat Platform, but now, there were two more, and the three Combat Platforms formed a triangle.
On the Combat Platforms, three battles were taking place.
Below the Combat Platforms, hundreds of people were watching and learning.
Surrounding the Combat Platforms, a circle of houses and lofts had been built, with Xuanhuo and Xuandixian Pill Shops prominently displayed. Han Yi even saw the signboard of the Nine Dragons Commercial Shop hanging on one of the lofts.
At the entrance of Combat Peak, three huge plaques stood there.
Heaven List, Earth Ranking, Human Ranking.
In Heaven List, the first place went to Azure Dragon Peak, Master Fire Phoenix.
In Heaven List, the second place went to Vermilion Bird Peak, Lin Ya.
In Heaven List, the thirty-ninth place went to Azure Dragon Peak, Bai Wanqing.
In Heaven List, the sixty-ninth place went to Golden Court Peak, You Wu.
Han Yi looked at the Heaven List and found that this list only included rankings, inner peak locations, and names, without any other information.
There were a total of eighty-three people on the Heaven List, which should have included all Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators of Xuandan Sect.
Moreover, he saw on this list, You Wu, who had challenged many Qi Cultivation Peaks more than three years ago. After three years, he had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and ranked sixty-ninth on the Heaven List, which was quite impressive.
“This kind of list is really clear, with all the elders on it. Heaven List first place, Master Fire Phoenix, is a legend.”
Next, he looked at the second list, Earth Ranking.
Not all inner sect disciples were ranked on the Earth Ranking list, but just the top three hundred.
Out of the top hundred, there was only one at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, while the rest were all at the Ninth Layer or higher. Within the top three hundred, there were thirteen at the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation.
Han Yi found a familiar name at the twenty-eighth place, He Fengdi, and Yan Ru’s name at the two hundred and seventy-eighth place.
Then, he looked at the Human Ranking. Like the Earth Ranking, the Human Ranking listed the top three hundred, including several familiar names, but Zheng Hai was not on the list.
After looking at the Heaven, Earth, and Human Ranking lists, Han Yi walked to the area near the Combat Platforms. Of the three Combat Platforms, only two still had people fighting. On the other platform, a disciple dressed in a gray robe sat cross-legged, waiting for others to challenge.
Compared to more than three years ago, the current Combat Peak could be described as completely renewed, aptly put.
Han Yi watched two battles, one between two cultivators at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, and another between two at the Sixth Layer. Both battles were eye-opening.
Their battles, compared to those from years ago, had undergone a metamorphosis.
“This new policy has really ignited a long-lasting fire, and it’s burning even stronger now.”
“However, this fire has little to do with me.”
Han Yi shook his head, turned around, and left the peak The Heaven, Earth, and Human Ranking lists were one of the new policies that Han Yi summarized in three words: “rolled up.”
So far, this “roll” had not affected him.
After looking at the greatly changed Combat Peak, Han Yi returned to Azure Dragon Peak and entered his courtyard. He took out more than a dozen storage bags.
Among them, there were six storage bags belonging to cultivators in the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. He didn’t want to waste time specifically erasing the restrictions for now. This included the four from the Twelve Robbing cultivators outside Daofu City, the dual-cultivating youth with a long spear from Evil Mountain, and the storage bag of Liu Heng from the spirit field in the Luo family’s Daofu City property.
The remaining storage bags belonged to cultivators in the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, including one from Tianqing City years ago, three from the Evil Mountain Range, and eight from the Twelve Robbing cultivators this time..
