**************************************************************************************
Jason was able to plunder a number of treasures from the old man including dozens of powerful demon spirits and thousands of spiritual stones piling up a small hill into the old man's interspatial ring.
Aside from them, Jason also got his hands on Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting and a divine treasure such as Divine Phaseless Fruits.
[Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting: The painting is on a scroll and depicts a spacious land that has distant mountains with a river flowing in between. Inside is an endless mountain range that extended for tens of thousands of miles with slow-flowing rivers between them.]
The best thing about this painting was that it had its own space inside it, capable of holding thousands of people.
[Divine Phaseless Fruit: This is a divine-level treasure. Its effect is so potent that even if a Martial Ancestor Realm expert consumed this fruit, their body would immediately rupture and they'd die.]
Looking at the treasures, Jason felt very satisfied and quickly put a contract seal on the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, letting it float within his soul realm.
As for the divine phaseless fruits, he counted them and put all six of them into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, safe from greedy fellows.
Jason would definitely look for a way later, to use those fruits to raise everyone's strength.
Finally sorting out everything, he waved his hand and opened the void, letting out Yu Yan and Duan Jian.
"Nie Li! Are you alright?!" Yu Yan instantly grabbed his hand, giving a complete look over to him. She was scared that something would happen to him during his confrontation with that mysterious old expert.
Jason smiled and patted her head. "Nothing happens to me."
"Thank god! Then what about that mysterious old man?"
"He? I killed him." Jason pinched her nose playfully before saying. "Let's leave this place."
Yu Yan and Duan Jian were shocked but didn't ask anything further, clear that Jason had his own secrets that he couldn't share.
Jason placed the Stones of Light into one of the stone pillars, one by one. The stone pillars lit up, and a surge of spatial energy was constantly twisting the surrounding space.
Even though he could just tear open the space and leave, why bother with that when he could just use the normal means?
Duan Jian looked at the dark sky with a complicated look on his face. In this Abyss Prison realm, he has spent his happy childhood here, and his most bitter memories of his foe, which he still can't kill with his current strength.
"Duan Jian, if you want to stay, we won't stop you from doing so. After all, this is your homeland." Jason said, looking at Duan Jian.
Duan Jian firmly shook his head and said, "From the moment my parents died, my homeland was already gone. I only have the blood feud left. Master gave me a new life and gave me my vengeance. I'm willing to follow master!"
After speaking, Duan Jian stepped into the teleportation array, followed by Jason and Yu Yan.
Glory City
While Jason was out on his adventure, Ye Zong and others had not only improved their overall strength but even set up multiple arrays left by Jason around the City Lord's Mansion, forming a solid wall of defense around the Glory City for protection.
Ye Zong was able to reach the peak of Legend rank in these past nine months. If Jason had been here and taught him about Law energy, the City Lord might even have been able to reach the Demi-God level.
Ye Shou reached a 4-star Legend rank. As for the team of people under him, even the weakest among them was a solid 5-star Black gold rank now with Legend calculating up to 20 in number.
Ye Xiu who was the third strongest in the Snow Wind family returned a few months ago from his exploration, bringing a treasure found by Ye Mo. But when he arrived, the poor guy was taken aback by the changes that occurred in the Glory City in his absence. It took quite a while to reorganize his thoughts and realized that everything was real, after constantly being confirmed by Ye Zong and Ye Shuo.
Since Jason was not here, he couldn't give him a tailored cultivation technique but Ye Xiu practiced the ones left by Jason related to Snow Wind elements and was able to reach the Legend rank too.
Aside from them, Huyan Xiong and Chen Zhenlong, the patriarch of the Divine Family were also able to successfully step into the Legend realm.
Even Huyan Lanruo, Xue Yin, and Yang Xin reached 1-star, 2-star, and 2-star Legend levels respectively.
Aside from them, Chen Linjian reached a 1-star Legend rank through his hard work and elixirs.
Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were only a step away from Legend rank, not too far behind.
The remaining students from Jason's class had also improved tremendously in these past nine months, reaching gold ranks. Hardworking students like Du Ze were even able to step into Black-gold ranks.
Because of that, the number of experts in the Legend realm excluding Jason was over fifty. As for Black gold, they amount over five hundred. Gold rank experts had increased over to thousands.
Ye Mo returned a few days ago after training in the Nether realm, personally guided by the master of the Nether realm, reaching the Demi-God realm. But when he returned, he wasn't alone as he was followed by a tribe of humans from the Nether realm, the Jade Seal family.
It seemed Ye Mo was able to form a great relationship with them as they followed him back to the Glory City.
Among the group, there was another person. A handsome young man who was also the son of the Nether Master, Xiao Yu. He was unable to meet Jason back then because he was having an important conversation with those experts.
Aside from this group, the human tribe from the Heavenly Fate Plateau had also arrived at Glory City.
Ye Xiu had personally arranged a place for them to stay.
Ye Mo almost couldn't believe his eyes and senses, feeling so many powerful auras in the Glory City. At a moment, the old man was scared that someone had attacked the Glory City in his absence, overtaking it.
Only when he met with his son did he receive his answers as Ye Zong informed his father about Jason.
Hearing Nie Li's name, even Xiao Yu showed interest, asking about his whereabouts, revealing that he was somewhat aware of him.
Ye Mo instantly realized why he received such great treatment back in the Nether realm.
It was all because of Jason as he pulled some strings behind the scenes...
"That kid, Nie Li, just in terms of contributions, he surpassed us all. You betrothing Yun'er to him is the best decision that you've taken in your entire life." Ye Mo patted his son's shoulder with pride.
Ye Zong sheepishly smiled, hiding the fact that he had almost offended Jason in the beginning.
While the father and son were discussing the matters of Glory City, an underling hastily ran in.
"Report to Lord Ye Mo, City Lord, Lord Ye Xiu, Nie Li is back. He's in the City Lord's Mansion's hall right now."
Hearing this report, Ye Mo, Ye Xiu, and Ye Zong had traces of joy flashing across their eyes.
'That kid is finally back! Great!'
"Let's go. I want to meet my grandson-in-law!" Ye Mo caressed his beard and said excitedly.
