Back to the barren land.

Returning to the Barren Land, Su Yen stood in the sky and looked down at the bustling land below.

This was his home, and a swell of pride came from the depth of his soul.

To others, they might still think this was the Barren Land of the old days, but those living in it knew better.

After looking at his land for a couple of seconds, he disappeared from the sky, leaving a gust of wind behind.

In the eastern Barren Land, a couple of hundred miles from the Celestial Heavenly Sect, the thunderous sound of heavy footsteps echoed like the hooves of powerful beasts.

Marching outside the military base were hundreds of thousands of soldiers performing their daily military drills.

The previous military base that only consisted of tents and wooden buildings had long been replaced with bricks.

Tens of meters of wall rose to the sky, surrounding the base. On top of the walls were deadly machines that were impossible to find elsewhere.
