Ghosthand had used all his strength to cast the Abyssal palm which was normally beyond his ability and was currently in a weakened state. He was so weak that he was barely able to remain standing. As for fighting, he already lost all hope. Even a random tier 3 King can effortlessly take him down talk less of the mighty tier 4 Emperors around and Xuanyuan who could counter the Abyssal palm!
But before anyone could say a word, Ghosthand hurriedly fished out a teleportation scroll in his hand and tried to flee. So long as he can leave this place in one piece, there's still a chance of survival.
Just as he expected to teleport away from the battlefield, he suddenly discovered that the scroll remained dormant no matter how he tried to activate it.
"You think you can escape after what you've done?" Xuanyuan said coldly. He'd expected that Ghosthand would try to escape so he'd used world manifestation to lock down the area rendering all teleportation devices useless.
"Don't kill me! My brother will kill you!" Ghosthand shouted in despair but Xuanyuan ignored his words and instantaneously appeared before him thrusting his sword right through his chest. The already injured Ghosthand couldn't withstand Xuanyuan's attack and thus lost all his HP in one hit. His corpse slowly fell to the ground with a few items lying around him.
Xuanyuan frowned when he thought about Ghosthand's last words. He'd killed Ghosthand so his brother who's probably a tier 5 existence will target him for revenge. He only had a few hours left untill he's forcefully teleported back to the modern timeline so Ghosthand's brother will shift his rage to the two sects instead.
As expected, the two sects had gloomy looks on their faces as they watched Ghosthand's lifeless body.
"Young friend, you've already helped us a great deal this time" Myriad storm Emperor said. "But Asura Saint will be here soon to take revenge for his dead brother, so you should leave as soon as possible" he added solemnly.
"Let's return to the sect first" Xuanyuan said and flew in the direction of Myriad storm sect. The elders and disciples of the Myriad storm sect followed and returned back to the sect.
"You need to leave quickly" Myriad storm Emperor said again once they arrived at the Myriad storm sect.
"I'm going to leave soon" Xuanyuan said. "But before I leave, I have to set up a few things here" He said.
"What's that?"
Xuanyuan didn't respond but instead closed his eyes. A ripple spread out with him as the centre as his consciousness spread out to envelope the whole Myriad storm sect and everything within it appeared clearly in his mind. He could see everything in the sect including areas that are off limits to ordinary disciples.
He didn't dawdle on this but instead began utilizing the Mental liberation technique to work on different parts of the Grand Magic array that was beneath the Myriad storm sect. This array is a defensive array that could defend the whole sect should it be attacked by outside forces. The array functions just like the Five elemental Magic tower and could also the density of the ambient Mana in the sect.
Xuanyuan naturally isn't able to construct an array as Grand as this on his own but he's only trying to draw new arrays to it to increase its power.
Myriad storm Emperor who stood beside him was astounded as he watched Xuanyuan's profound use of the Mental liberation technique. He was the one who taught the technique to Xuanyuan but he'd already surpassed him in mastery of the technique.
"It's done!" Xuanyuan let out a low shout after standing pn the same spot for one hour. He'd drawn some new arrays upon the existing one and therefore improved its defensive capability. He did this so that the Myriad storm sect can withstand the wrath of Asura Saint who's Ghosthand's brother. Although the Grand defensive formation isn't really enough to completely keep them safe from the Asura Saint, it could still withstand a few attacks.
Just then, a notification came in.
Xuanyuan didn't say a word but instead gave some powerful items that he'd acquired on his way to the Myriad storm Emperor. He also gave Silver King and some talented tier 3 Kings some pointers about Mana control before he finally left Sky cloud city and headed back to Divine sky city where he's going to stay until his time is up.
"You're back!" Cyan sky God said as Xuanyuan arrived in his private residence.
"When will you leave?" he asked.
"I have only two hours left" Xuanyuan replied. "In the meantime, can you tell me about tier 6?" he asked. Xuanyuan might only be a tier 3 sword King but his accomplishments is superior to most tier 5 Saints. Hence, the next step is to find out more about tier 6.
"Reaching tier 6 isn't an easy feat and only the lucky ones can cross the final hurdle" Cyan sky God began...
During those two hours, Xuanyuan had learned quite a lot about tier 6 and could only be amazed at his newfound knowledge. But unfortunately he couldn't grasp a world law before he ran out of time.
"I have a favor to ask of you, Cyan sky God" Xuanyuan said just when there was only five minutes left.
"What's it?"
"After I'm gone, can you please protect Sky cloud city? Someone might come to cause a scene" Xuanyuan asked.
"Not a problem" Cyan sky God agreed.
"Many thanks" Xuanyuan bowed to show his appreciation.
Cyan sky God then went silent for a few moments before taking out a silvery longsword that radiated a profound aura.
"This is for you" he handed it to Xuanyuan.
"I had found it while exploring an Ancient ruin out there and didn't have much use for it. I believe it'll be quite useful for you" he said.
Xuanyuan nodded as he took the sword in his hands. Then a row of text appeared before his eyes.

Xuanyuan was impressed by the Blade of flowing light and cupped his fists towards the Cyan sky God to show his salutation.
But before he could say anything else, he suddenly received a notification.
"I have to leave now" Xuanyuan said solemnly. "Farewell"
"Good luck, young man" Cyan sky God said.
Just then the counter struck zero and Xuanyuan was sucked into the gate which disappeared as if it never existed...
