Yi Tianyun and the others hid nearby and observed the situation. Although Heavenly God Hao Han had said as much, it was still necessary to keep an eye on things here to prevent any unexpected incidents.
After watching for a while, it became clear that the barrier was utterly indestructible. No matter how fiercely they attacked, it suffered not the slightest damage. This left them sighing in amazement—this thing was simply too sturdy. No one knew what level of power would be required to break through it.
"It seems it really can't be breached," Heavenly God Hao Han said calmly. "We'll guard this place for a period of time. If nothing happens, we won't stay here any longer."
He showed no intention of taking control of the area, just as Heavenly Venerable Jian Si and the others had said earlier.
Clearly, Heavenly God Hao Han had no such ambitions. He merely wanted to prove something—something that was likely related to the Xiu Tian God Domain.
"It looks like I'll need to investigate this Xiu Tian God Domain properly," Yi Tianyun nodded. He was quite curious about the power behind his master.
After staying for a while, everyone returned to the Three Realms to rest. In truth, they barely rested at all before joining the effort to clear away the debris. With their help, everything became much easier.
Not only that—even Heavenly God Hao Han personally took action, which made Yi Tianyun feel somewhat embarrassed. Having a Heavenly God clearing rubble was honestly a bit much.
It was like asking one's own master to do sweeping work—how could that not feel awkward?
However, Heavenly God Hao Han didn't mind in the slightest. He was in an excellent mood. Even though he hadn't personally guided Yi Tianyun much, he was still his disciple. With such astonishing talent and achievements that brought him honor, how could he not be pleased?
Since there was nothing else to do, he might as well help strengthen the defenses here and clear away the debris.
Heavenly God Hao Han's attainments as a divine inscription master were extremely high—already at sixth-grade, which was truly astonishing. With his assistance, the divine inscriptions across the area improved significantly.
The Spirit God Clan had decent achievements in divine inscriptions, but their cultivation levels were too low. Without sufficient cultivation, their inscription grade simply couldn't rise. Some inscriptions required immense energy to carve, which meant they needed to raise their own realm first.
At present, the strongest of the Spirit God Clan was only at half-step Heavenly Venerable—none had fully broken through yet. Once they did, their accomplishments in this field would undoubtedly soar.
Judging from the environment alone, the emergence of a true Heavenly Venerable wouldn't take long. With such an exceptional cultivation environment, breakthroughs were only a matter of time.
With the help of so many powerful figures, the cleanup speed increased drastically. Even so, it would still take a very long time to clear everything completely.
The God Domain allocated to Yi Tianyun was enormous. Even flying straight to its edge would take him several days at his current cultivation level.
That was flying in a straight line—if one considered the full circular expansion, the area was downright terrifying. At this pace, it would take several years to fully clear everything.
And that was with Heavenly God Hao Han and the others helping. If they left, the time required would immediately multiply—possibly reaching a hundred years.
The Three Realms God Domain simply didn't have enough God Monarch–level experts yet, which inevitably slowed progress.
Yi Tianyun wasn't in a hurry. Things could proceed slowly. However much Heavenly God Hao Han and the others could help was already more than enough.
After several months of work, they finally stopped.
The debris hadn't been completely cleared—plenty still remained. They had mainly opened up a main passage and excavated individual planets, cleaning the surrounding rubble slightly.
In short, the priority was excavating planets and opening usable routes. The rest of the debris could be dealt with gradually. As long as normal pathways existed and the planets could be utilized, that was sufficient.
After all, most of the debris was just broken rock. Some pieces were mineral-rich and could still serve as decent materials, but nothing exceptional.
Overall, Yi Tianyun was quite satisfied. After a rough count, there were thirteen planets within this God Domain—not a particularly large number.
However, every single planet possessed a core, and that alone made it worthwhile. Quantity mattered less than quality.
Planets without cores were of little value.
Meanwhile, on the other side, no Heavenly Venerables or Heavenly Gods were attacking the barrier anymore. Since it was impossible to destroy, they had no choice but to leave in frustration.
Some of them still stationed personnel nearby to keep watch. They didn't believe the barrier could last forever—once it vanished, they would immediately launch an invasion.
The reputation of the Hao Han Divine Sect clearly wasn't enough to deter them.
"Thirteen planets in total," Heavenly God Hao Han nodded. "A bit fewer than other God Domains, but overall, it's acceptable."
"Just being able to ascend successfully is already more than enough for me," Yi Tianyun smiled. "The God Domain I came from before didn't have nearly this many high-grade cores."
Most of the cores he had excavated previously were dark cores—hardly suitable for this place.
"Indeed. Contentment brings happiness," Heavenly God Hao Han laughed, nodding in satisfaction. "The rest will be up to you. With the resources here, you'll have more than enough to use for a long time."
"This is all thanks to Master and my senior brothers' help," Yi Tianyun said gratefully. "Otherwise, we wouldn't know how long this cleanup would have taken."
"Junior Brother, those words are too distant," Heavenly Venerable Jian Si and the others laughed. "Since we're all from the same sect, there's no need to say such things."
After chatting briefly, Heavenly God Hao Han said, "That's about it. It's time for us to head back. Judging by things, this defense truly can't be destroyed. Something made by the heavens isn't so easily broken."
During the time they had guarded the area, Heavenly God Jing Xun and the others had exhausted themselves without causing even the slightest damage. That alone proved how absolute the defense was.
There was no longer any need for them to remain here.
"Master, may I return with you?" Yi Tianyun asked eagerly.
"That's no problem. The Hao Han Divine Sect is your home—but what about your God Domain?"
"It's fine. You've seen the situation here yourself. Is there really anything I need to worry about?"
"Haha, that's true," Heavenly God Hao Han laughed. "Then I'll take you back to the Hao Han Divine Sect and let you see what your master is truly capable of!"
Everything here was more or less settled. The rest could be handled by Shi Xueyun and the others. Yi Tianyun no longer needed to intervene personally.
As for cultivating here—he felt it was far faster to simply kill a few Heavenly Venerables instead.
