After several attempts, Zhang Yang could only give up; this miraculous Sacred Hand System seemed completely dormant, offering no response to any command. With no other recourse, Zhang Yang withdrew from the system’s virtual interface, setting the matter aside for the time being.

Accompanied by the three great spirit beasts and the two small Three-Eyed Beasts, Zhang Yang returned to the Dragon Family Palace, which was currently undergoing reconstruction. The sects and aristocratic families that had remained in Kunlun had been invited by Qiao Yihong and Long Feng to settle on the Dragon Family Plains.

Upon seeing the ruined state of the Dragon Family Palace, these groups proactively sent their disciples to assist the Dragon Family members in rebuilding it. This significantly accelerated the restoration work; it was estimated that the palace would be fully rebuilt—and even more magnificent than before—in less than two months.

Without lingering long, Zhang Yang made a circuit of the area before heading to the courtyard where Elder Zhang Pinglu resided. Master Shi Ming would frequently visit this place to chat and keep the old man company.

Though the elder was immensely frail, his complexion had improved considerably compared to the preceding few days. Qu Meilan was still the one attending to the elder.

Seeing Zhang Yang approach the courtyard, she immediately moved forward and said respectfully, "Master." "Is the Elder inside the house?" Zhang Yang glanced towards the building; sensing two distinct auras inside, he presumed it was Master Shi Ming and the Elder. "Yes, they are both inside," Qu Meilan confirmed, then added, "I don't know why, but the Elder and Master Shi Ming are especially happy today.

They are currently playing chess and drinking inside." Zhang Yang nodded. It seemed Master Shi Ming and the Elder had both sensed the Golden Three-Eyed Beast's advancement to the Great Perfection stage and the successful birth of its young.

Since the two seniors were in such high spirits, he decided not to interrupt them. Around this time, Mi Xue should be waking up.

After bidding farewell to Qu Meilan, Zhang Yang left the courtyard with his three spirit beasts. Mi Xue had been lodged in another temporary courtyard on the Dragon Family grounds these past few days.

Since the Dragon Family Palace was not yet fully restored, she had to make do with this temporary arrangement. "Mi Xue!" As Zhang Yang entered the yard, he saw Mi Xue just stepping out of the door, stretching languidly in the open space.

He called out to her with a smile. Mi Xue was still somewhat disoriented.

She remembered feeling dizzy a while ago, followed by passing out. Zhang Yang, wanting her to rest thoroughly, had subtly kept her asleep for a few extra days.

Now that she was awake, Mi Xue felt clear-headed and energetic, showing no signs of having been in a deep slumber for days. "Zhang Yang, eh, what are those?

Such adorable puppies!" Mi Xue broke into a wide grin upon seeing Zhang Yang, then her eyes immediately lit up when she spotted the two small Three-Eyed Beasts nestled in his arms. Eagerly, she rushed over and gently took both little ones from Zhang Yang's embrace.

"Be careful, these two little ones can discharge electricity," Zhang Yang cautioned, without stopping her; simultaneously, he quietly warned the two tiny beasts not to zap anyone again. The two little ones were exceptionally clever and seemed to recognize that Mi Xue was the person closest to Zhang Yang.

Not only did they refrain from struggling while in her arms, but they also poked out their tiny tongues and made soft cooing sounds, behaving far more docilely than before. The third eye on their foreheads blinked open.

Unable to manipulate the energy of heaven and earth as their mother could to convey complex thoughts, their gaze upon Mi Xue merely made her feel as though they were being playfully endearing, rather than frightening her. "Yang Yang, these two actually have three eyes!" Although not frightened, Mi Xue still exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the Three-Eyed Beast, ranked first among the Ten Fierce Beasts, even higher than Lightning," Zhang Yang replied with a smile. He took the two babies back from Mi Xue.

Besides the potent toxin that placed it at number one, these two young Three-Eyed Beasts also possessed the ability to unleash lightning. Mi Xue recalled the time she had been raising Lightning and playfully stuck out her tongue.

She bent down, her eyes wide as she stared at the pair in Zhang Yang's arms, finding it hard to believe, "Such cute little things rank even higher than Lightning?" "That’s right. Their mother had urgent matters to attend to, so she entrusted these twin brothers to my care.

I named them Da Lei and Xiao Lei." Zhang Yang answered with a smile, though his thoughts drifted to Da Lei and Xiao Lei's mother. The Golden Three-Eyed Beast had taken the third eye belonging to its consort, the grayish-white Three-Eyed Beast, and departed for the Southern Territories, likely intending for the father to witness her vengeance firsthand.

Now that Zhang Yang had advanced to the Fifth Layer, the Three-Eyed Pill held less importance for him. Since that third eye was so significant to the Golden Three-Eyed Beast, he wouldn't forcibly demand it.

"Chirp chirp!" "Squeak squeak!" At that moment, Lightning and Wuying behind Zhang Yang cried out in slight grievance. Lightning even leaped onto Mi Xue's shoulder, piteously exposing the singed patches of fur on its body for her to see.

Lightning was complaining to Mi Xue—while the two newborns looked cute, they were formidable; they had just shocked both it and Wuying. "Haha..." Seeing Lightning’s aggrieved expression, Mi Xue couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She could clearly see that both Lightning and Wuying were perfectly fine and were merely trying to curry favor. Zhang Yang couldn't help but chuckle along.

The two small Three-Eyed Beasts proved worthy of being born from the spiritual energy absorbed by the Ten-Thousand-Year Flat Peach. Having overcome the second trial immediately after birth, they grew stronger with the passage of time, no longer fragile like they were initially.

Their control over their bodies was already comparable to that of an adult Three-Eyed Beast. Da Lei and Xiao Lei could now scamper freely on the ground.

Seeing Wuying and Lightning filing complaints, they became unwilling to be left out and immediately pestered Wuying and Lightning to play with them. The courtyard soon filled with happy sounds; the addition of the two small Three-Eyed Beasts brought immense joy to Zhang Yang and Mi Xue.

"Mi Xue, we’ve been here a while and I haven't properly taken you out to enjoy things. Today is perfect; I'll take you for a spin around Kunlun Mountain." Now that he was on the Fifth Layer and Mi Xue was awake, Zhang Yang intended to take her out for a leisurely stroll to relax her spirits.

Zhang Yang's advancement to the Fifth Layer represented a huge change to others, but to Mi Xue, he was exactly the same as before—still her husband, the person closest to her heart. Mi Xue smiled brightly and immediately nodded her agreement.

Da Lei and Xiao Lei also understood that Zhang Yang was taking them out to play; they stopped wrestling with Wuying and Lightning and started cooing happily. Amidst a burst of laughter, Zhang Yang suddenly wrapped an arm around Mi Xue’s slender waist, made a gesture with his other hand, and vanished from the courtyard with the three spirit beasts and the two small Three-Eyed Beasts.

Across the entire Dragon Family Plain, save for the old man strolling somewhere unknown, not a single person sensed Zhang Yang’s movement, nor did they realize that in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yang had transported Mi Xue and the spirit beasts outside the plain, onto the outskirts of the Kunlun mountain range for a recreational outing. "Husband, when did you become this powerful!" It was only then that Mi Xue suddenly realized Zhang Yang seemed significantly stronger than before; at the very least, Zhang Yang certainly couldn't have done something like this previously.

Zhang Yang laughed heartily, reining in his aura so he once again appeared as an ordinary man, taking Mi Xue’s hand as they walked forward. The three great spirit beasts followed behind them.

Although the vicinity of the Kunlun Mountains was not as crowded as it had been before the Ten-Thousand-Year Flat Peach had appeared, there were still scattered disciples from various sects and families here taking walks or forming alliances. Most disciples from the sects and families were currently helping rebuild the palace on the Dragon Family Plains, but some always managed to slack off and wander outside.

These disciples were often direct descendants of their respective sects or families, so even if they avoided assisting with the palace reconstruction, their sect masters or clan leaders would not severely reprimand them. Zhang Yang veiled his aura, strolling with Mi Xue along a small mountain path.

Before long, they spotted a group of young people around their age gathered in a pavilion, chatting animatedly. "Heh heh, you all will never guess what the final Ten-Thousand-Year Marvel that emerged from Kunlun Mountain was!" Upon seeing Mi Xue and Zhang Yang, this group of youths failed to recognize the spirit beasts behind them.

However, the sturdy young man speaking loudly suddenly found renewed energy when he saw the beautiful Mi Xue. His voice unnaturally grew louder, and after deliberately pausing for a long moment, he stubbornly refused to continue.

"Stop dragging it out, hurry up and tell us! Isn't your father the head of the Xin Family in the Northeast?

I heard the Dragon Family was the very first to invite your Xin Family to the plains; you must know more than the rest of us." "Yeah, just spit it out! What was it?" "Hurry, hurry, what happened next!" The youths beside him, frustrated by the slightly more robust young man’s silence, urged him on.

This young man’s words successfully captured Mi Xue’s attention. She pointed toward the pavilion, intending to approach and listen.

Zhang Yang offered a wry smile, shook his head slightly, and followed Mi Xue’s cue, walking toward the structure. Seeing Mi Xue step forward and stand behind the group, the sturdy young man became full of vigor and immediately resumed speaking, "The treasure that emerged was the Ten-Thousand-Year Flat Peach!" "You all probably don't know what a Ten-Thousand-Year Flat Peach is, right?

Let me tell you, it’s a treasure that several super-sects and aristocratic families fought tooth and nail over! Do you know why the Hua Family, Li Family, Zhou Family, Demon Gate, and Wudang—those five—suddenly withdrew from Kunlun Mountain?" "I heard it was because that figure hailed as the foremost person in our cultivation world, Zhang Yang, defeated the most powerful ancestors of those five families!" The young man spoke with spittle flying, his expression fervent, as if he were personally present, presenting his narrative with great coherence.

The youths listening intently were left speechless after hearing this account. They were well aware of the immense power wielded by the five entities—the Hua Family, Li Family, Zhou Family, Demon Gate, and Wudang.

Their stunned silence clearly indicated their disbelief that Zhang Yang could be so formidable. Standing at the back of the crowd, Mi Xue covered her mouth with a slight smile and nudged Zhang Yang playfully with her elbow.
