Ye Xiao didn't stay in the Destiny Dao Sect for long.
When he appeared, all the people were shocked. It was mainly for Fu Ming, the Grand Elder, and the Sect Leader of the Destiny Dao Sect.
They all could tell that Ye Xiao used the Space Law to manipulate space and travel through the void before arriving at the Forbidden Ground of their sect.
As for why he appeared in the forbidden ground instead of anywhere else, it must be because Ye Xiao entered the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm from the forbidden ground, making him remember the location.
There might be some other reason, and there might be no reason at all.
What matters was that Ye Xiao appeared.
After that, without talking any nonsense, Ye Xiao gave the Law Breaking Axe to the Grand Elder and received the location where Tong Nian could be found. After that, he directly left the sect.
He was in a hurry because he didn't want to waste more time. The calamity is near and he has to increase his strength no matter what.

╠ Soaring Cloud Divine World ╣
_Tong Family_
Tong Family used to be an ancient family but it lost connection with the Tong Family of the Upper Realm for some reason.
When Tong Nian ascended to the Divine Realm, because of the bloodline of the Tong Family flowing within her body, she directly appeared in the Well of Ascension of the Tong Family.
The Well of Ascension is a well that could be bound by a bloodline or some other mark. After the binding is successful, anyone who will ascend from the Upper Realm with the same bloodline or mark would appear in that corresponding Well of Ascension.
Tong Family of the Divine Realm had long lost their connection with the Tong Family of the Upper Realm, but they didn't want to lose the family in the Upper Realm forever.
At that time, the Well of Ascension will automatically pull that person, causing him or her to appear in the Well of Ascension of the Tong Family instead of appearing at a random place in a random world.But even after hundreds of thousands of years, no one ascended, causing them to start doubting if Tong Nian is destroyed by some stronger forces of the Upper Realm.
No matter what, they were helpless and could not do anything. They could only wait for someone to ascend.
And one day, Tong Nian ascended.
Tong Nian as the medium also managed to establish their connection with the Tong Family in the Upper Realm once again.
And because of Tong Nian's strong talent as well as the concentration of bloodline that made her closer to the ancestor, they made Tong Nian the Holy Lady of the Tong Family.
There is a purpose behind the appearance of a Holy Lady in the Tong Family. Holy Lady could never marry and just focus on cultivating a scripture that originated from the origin of Tong Family.
With this, as long as the Holy Lady is there, no disaster could destroy the Tong Family. The Tong Family will be protected by the Heavenly Dao itself. This was the blessing of the Tong Family that their ancestor received for some mysterious reason, and passed down to their descendants.
Well, there is another benefit of cultivating the scripture of the Tong Family. Holy Lady will get closer and closer to the Heavenly Dao, and there'll come a day when the Holy Lady could ask the Heavenly Dao for help in anything she wants, and the Heavenly Dao will not refuse.
Of course, there is a limitation as to how many times the Holy Lady could ask for the help of Heavenly Dao in a certain period of time.
The Holy Lady could only ask for the Heavenly Dao's help one time in ten years.
These ten years are neither short nor long. It is enough for many powers to rise in strength, and at the same time, enough to cause the destruction of countless powerful forces.
And Tong Nian became the Holy Lady of the Tong Family even though she didn't want to. They forced her to become the Holy Lady by presenting a condition that she could not refuse.
The Tong Family told her that they would protect the Tong Family of the Upper Realm forever, and they would also guarantee the safety of Tong Nian's parents and grandfather as long as she become the Holy Lady.
This caused her to become the Holy Lady.
.....
There was a three-floored tall building at the center of the Tong Family's humongous land. There was a wide balcony on the third floor where a pair of chairs and a table were placed.
Tong Nian was sitting on one of the chairs and was sipping tea from a small but beautiful bowl in her hand.
She seemed to be deep in thought.A few seconds later, she corrected her sitting position and waved her hand. The next instant, strange greenish particles appeared in the air and began to condense into something. Very soon, it formed into a square-shaped green piece of solid metal.
"I have to become an Ancient God as soon as possible. Only then could I make good use of you!"
Tong Nian muttered and then again waved her hand, causing the square-shaped green metal to shatter into countless green fragments of light again, and entered his body.
And it was at this time a wave of spatial fluctuation appeared, attracting her attention. But before she could understand anything, Ye Xiao appeared in front of her, startling her completely.
Then, Ye Xiao looked at Tong Nian while Tong Nian looked at Ye Xiao deeply.
Ye Xiao did not recognize Tong Nian's face. It is because when he met Tong Nian in the Lower Realm, she was in disguise. But the aura on her body was still the same as he remembered.
On the other hand, Tong Nian was in the same situation as Ye Xiao. After all, Ye Xiao's face was changed by the mysterious lady. But his aura was still somewhat familiar.
Yes, it was only slightly familiar because Ye Xiao completely lost his cultivation base, losing the aura gained from strong cultivation at the same time.
"Tong Nian!"
"Ye Xiao!"
After some time, both of them pointed at each other and called out each other's names at the same time. Then they showed stunned faces before they burst out into laughter.
"It really is you!" Tong Nian's eyes flowed brightly, she didn't expect Ye Xiao to come here to meet her.
She remembered Ye Xiao very well. Although there was no relationship between her and Ye Xiao, the time they spent together was still very precious to her.
Even after returning to the Upper Realm and then ascending to the Divine Realm, she never forgets about Ye Xiao. From to time, she would remember the moment they spent together.
She also clearly remembered how she felt when Ye Xiao didn't come out of the secret realm, and the news about the destruction of the secret realm spread everywhere.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao didn't expect Tong Nian's real face to be so beautiful.
When he met her in the Azure Dragon Country of the Azure Sky Continent in the Lower Realm, she was disguised as an average-looking lady, working as an attendant in the Treasure Pavilion.
Only when he visited the Treasure Pavilion for the second time did he come to know that Tong Nian is actually the granddaughter of the owner of the Treasure Pavilion. He then obtained the Sea Dragon Spear, and it was then he become aware of the fact that his master is friends with Tong Nian's grandfather who left his everything and descended to the Lower Realm to guarantee his master's safety.
Anyway, he did spend a long time with Tong Nian, but he never knew she was a beauty. It was when he found his master in the Upper Realm did come to know that Tong Nian was always in disguise.
Now that he was looking at her beautiful face, he didn't doubt that she is a beauty on equal footing with Xue Xiaofei.
"It's me!" Ye Xiao smiled and replied, then he said again: "I didn't expect Big Sis Nian to be so beautiful!"
When Ye Xiao called her big sis Nian, Tong Nian once again remembered the time when Ye Xiao used to call her that. Unknowingly, a gentle smile automatically appeared on her face.
"I didn't expect you to ascend to the Divine Realm so soon." Tong Nian laughed and said. Then she seemed to have realized something, she spoke again: "No, you must have ascended a long time ago. Just now, I sensed the Law of Space. You have actually comprehended the Law of Space."
"And... Why can't I sense your cultivation base? How much stronger have you become in these short period of a few hundred years we have not seen each other?"
