After bidding farewell to Emperor Shun, he planned to return to the Nine Provinces. Jiang Li activated his Word-Manifests-Law: "Let me return to the Nine Provinces." Emperor Shun, who had just said his goodbyes to Jiang Li, folded back, silently opened a doorway, and invited him to leave. ...
The door opened by Emperor Shun led to the location of the Earth Veins, the same place from which Jiang Li had departed. Jiang Li arrived at the Human Emperor Palace above the Earth Veins and found it to be exceptionally lively. Bai Hongtu was commanding the guards, bustling about with some task.
Beside him stood an elegant and quiet woman, dressed in a pink gown that was extremely eye-catching.
"Palace Lord, you really did return after seven days," Commander Liu said with a smile upon seeing Jiang Li's return.
Jiang Li was taken aback, "Seven days? What seven days?"
"Emperor Shun sent a dream message to Ji Zhi, saying you would depart from the Earth Veins in seven days. So, as we decided in the previous meeting, we're holding a welcome party to celebrate your triumphant return from the parallel world. That, combined with the fact that the exploration of the myriad heavens has reached a milestone, we put the two things together. Everyone agreed we might as well make a grand affair of it."
