Under the moonlit sky, the two hurried back, stepping onto the Xiao family's territory. The dangers and intensity they had just faced made it feel as though their hearts had been through a storm.

Xiao Zhan, panting, turned to look at Xiao Yan, his face full of relief and gratitude.

"Father, are you alright?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand and smiled, "I'm fine, thanks to the trump card left by that mysterious expert. Without it, we wouldn't have made it back safely. This time, we've hit the jackpot."

Xiao Yan nodded, feeling an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Xiao Zhan, filled with excitement, said, "Son, this haul was a complete surprise! We actually managed to empty out the treasure vaults of both the Oba family and the Jia Lie family."

Xiao Yan laughed, "Yes, Father, it's as if these treasures fell right into our laps! The Xiao family has truly struck gold this time."

Xiao Zhan, after a moment of contemplation, warned, "Son, these treasures are valuable, but we must be careful not to reveal our whereabouts."

Xiao Yan nodded seriously. "Yes, Father, I've already stored them in my spatial ring. No one will find out about these treasures."

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan with a kind smile. "Son, your rapid growth amazes me. But remember, although the Xiao family has acquired these treasures, we must remain cautious and not act recklessly."

Xiao Yan replied earnestly, "Yes, Father, I'll be careful."

After breaking through to the strength of a Dou Master, Xiao Zhan felt a brief moment of insight. But soon after, fatigue overtook him. After discussing with Xiao Yan, they both decided to rest for a while.

Xiao Yan returned to his room to take stock of the treasures they had gained. The room was filled with the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs. As he opened his spatial ring, rare treasures and precious items came into view, one after another.

These treasures, plundered from the Oba and Jia Lie families, included rare jewels, spiritual herbs, and advanced weapons, all of which made Xiao Yan's heart race with excitement.

"We've hit the mother lode this time!"

Looking at the treasures, a satisfied smile spread across Xiao Yan's face.

With these treasures, it wouldn't be long before the Xiao family became the number one family in Wu Tan City!

Afterward, Xiao Yan knelt in his room, expressing his gratitude to Shui Wuyai.

"Master, you're truly incredible. Following your guidance, we managed to secure the treasures from both the Oba and Jia Lie families. We're practically swimming in riches!"

Xiao Yan spoke with deep respect, his admiration for his mysterious master evident in every word.

In his heart, the existence of his mysterious master wasn't just a blessing for him, Xiao Yan, but a great fortune for the entire Xiao family.

Shui Wuya, however, was unfazed. "These things are nothing. You still need to focus on cultivating."

Xiao Yan stood up, his face full of gratitude. "Yes, Master, I will continue to work hard."

He then turned to Yao Lao, expressing his thanks as well.

"Yao Lao, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to unlock the vaults. I'm truly grateful."

Yao Lao, smiling cheerfully, waved his hand. "It's nothing, nothing."

He had initially wanted to bask in the glory for a moment, but seeing how unaffected the mysterious master was, he refrained from boasting.

However, as Xiao Yan stood in his room, surrounded by the full contents of his spatial ring, a hint of worry crept into his heart.

There were simply too many treasures, to the point where the room felt overcrowded.

Frowning, he began pondering a solution.

"Yao Lao, what should I do?" Xiao Yan looked toward Yao Lao, hoping for some advice.

Yao Lao also frowned, his eyes glimmering with thought.

"With so many treasures, it will be difficult to hide them."

Both fell into contemplation. Just as Xiao Yan was growing a bit anxious, a soft chuckle broke the silence.

"This kind of thing doesn't need to worry you too much," Shui Wuya said calmly.

Xiao Yan looked at Shui Wuya in surprise.

"Senior, do you have a solution?"

Shui Wuya nodded, a mysterious glint flashing in his eyes.

"Leave them with me."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. "Senior, do you have a larger spatial ring?"

Shui Wuya shook his head and said cryptically, "No, I have a world."

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao both lifted their heads in shock, staring at Shui Wuyai in disbelief.

Shui Wuya just said he had a world!

What could that possibly mean?

With a serene smile, Shui Wuya lightly waved his sleeve, and a surge of mystical energy formed a massive, spherical world.

This world, from the outside, exuded an aura of deep mystery and immense power, striking awe into all who gazed upon it.

The surface of the sphere was marked with subtle patterns, as if containing endless power. Xiao Yan and Yao Lao couldn't help but feel their legs weaken, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what they were witnessing.

"This... this is your world?" Xiao Yan asked, his mouth wide open in disbelief.

Shui Wuya nodded calmly.

"Yes, this is a part of my foundational world. My powers have not yet fully recovered," he replied, his tone unhurried.

A flash of awe crossed Yao Lao's eyes.

"Incredible."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Shui Wuya smiled and said, "If you're interested, you can come inside and have a look."

Though fear stirred in both Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's hearts, their curiosity won out, and they nodded, steeling themselves.

With a smile, Shui Wuya waved his sleeve gently. The spherical world rippled, and a deep black crack appeared on its surface, like a gateway to another realm.

"Come," Shui Wuya said softly.

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao exchanged glances before stepping into the black fissure together.

A powerful force immediately pulled them into the crack.

In an instant, Xiao Yan felt his body lighten, and the scenery around him shifted rapidly as if they were traveling through a tunnel in time and space.

In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in an entirely unfamiliar and mysterious space.

There was no sky, no ground—just an endless expanse of darkness surrounding them.

Faint black light emanated from all directions, casting an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"This is my Netherworld," Shui Wuya said in a flat tone, but there was a glint of pride and confidence in his eyes.

Both Xiao Yan and Yao Lao shivered as they felt the oppressive power pressing down on them from all sides.

This space was unlike anything they had ever seen before. It was filled with a strange, unsettling energy that made their skin crawl.

Shui Wuya turned to them, smiling. "Don't worry, you're safe here."

"Could this be the legendary inner world?" Xiao Yan and Yao Lao stared at their surroundings in awe, filled with respect for Shui Wuya's abilities.

Within this Netherworld, because Shui Wuya's powers had not yet fully returned, the space was still in a rudimentary state—a gray, misty land stretching only a hundred meters in all directions.

Although this was just its basic form, it was already astonishing enough for Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
