Chapter 398: Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly, Three Elders of Dongyan, The Bold Qing Yuzi!

~35 min read 6,838 words

Dongyan Ancient Clan, secret stronghold.

At this time, the three elders of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, Dongyan Hai, Dongyan Jue, and Dongyan Ma, were communicating in a room with silver-white floors.

"The list of participants for the Dharma Assembly has been determined, and some Reincarnation Realm users have already entered the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom." Dongyan Ma said.

When he spoke, he didn't look at anyone, just stared at the starry sky ceiling, where the stars formed an octagonal cage, and overlapping circles passed through it.

There were many stars in the octagonal cage, and stars were constantly increasing.

"The number of Reincarnation Realm users has reached 1253, but they are all relatively weak."

"Still need to guard against any Reincarnation powerhouses coming in as supplements." Dongyan Jue had three eyes; the vertical eye on his forehead was the "Fate Dharma Eye," as if it had been installed directly.

"Jue, what did you see?" Dongyan Hai asked beside him.

Because Dongyan Jue couldn't have said this for no reason.

"A few more people on the invitation list." Dongyan Jue pondered, "For example, Meng Wu of the Red Star Empire; he was not on the invitation list, but suddenly appeared on the list."

"And for example, Emperor Hongshan of the Ancient Hill of Tai; he was in seclusion, but he moved because of stillness and came to participate in the Dharma Assembly."

Dongyan Hai said: "Is there a problem?"

"Can't see any problem." Dongyan Jue shook his head: "The invitation list is uncontrollable; past Spirit Domain Dharma Assemblies would also have more or fewer people than the invitation list."

"I just think we should keep an eye on it."

"The rest of the Reincarnation Realm users are fine, but Reincarnation Realm users at the Emperor level are not simple."

"Is there any movement in the Predestined Situation?" Dongyan Hai asked.

"Generally, no."

"Generally?"

Dongyan Jue pondered for a moment: "The spare holy object hasn't changed much. But the originally prepared holy object has evolved to the Reincarnation Dao soldier level."

"This proves that Qing Yuzi has fallen into the trap without knowing it, but, when I look at him, it's still a bit blurry."

"How blurry?" Dongyan Hai frowned.

"I saw three overlapping shadows; he seems to be with others."

"And I went to check the Predestined Situation before, and it said Qing Yuzi is neither alive nor dead, but the holy object has indeed been unsealed."

"A dead Qing Yuzi, a living Qing Yuzi, true and false, confusing the public, just a blindfold." Dongyan Ma said lightly.

"Where is he?" Dongyan Hai asked.

"Not in the territory of the Ancient Kingdom."

"Why haven't you gone to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom yet." Dongyan Hai frowned. "Regarding the holy object, I don't want any accidents."

"Can the Predestined Situation be corrected for him." Dongyan Ma gave a suggestion. "Directly let him die, and we will send the holy object ourselves."

The two looked at Dongyan Jue, who pondered: "I have concluded a causal contract with him; if I do this, he will definitely know. If I want to kill him without his knowledge, the price is not small."

"How big." Dongyan Hai asked.

Dongyan Jue's fingers pinched, and after a while, he was a bit strange: "Very unexpected, multiple results appeared."

"What do you mean."

"At the current time, if I want to kill Qing Yuzi without leaking the news, I need to pay two Reincarnation Dao soldiers, but snatching back the holy object requires a divine object."

"After another 214 years, this requirement will be greatly reduced."

"After another 416 years, no extra cost is needed."

Hearing this reply, Dongyan Hai nodded; as time passed, Qing Yuzi's deterrent power would become weaker and weaker.

Because even if the news was leaked, no one would be able to react, and the impact on the plan would become smaller and smaller.

Setting fire to the mountain, the fire was already formed, so there was no fear of being known.

"After 214 years, if the holy object is still not integrated, he will be a variable, so spend the price to kill him." Dongyan Hai said.

"Hmm, I'll prepare." Dongyan Jue nodded.

Next, the three began to discuss other things. If Qing Yuzi hadn't taken the holy object prepared in the past and guessed some inside information, he wouldn't have been discussed by three Emperor-level Reincarnation Realm users.

Qing Yuzi thought they wanted to resurrect the Reincarnation Realm, which was a completely wrong guess, just to be on the safe side, so there was that "causal contract," but that was just buying an insurance policy.

"The focus needs to be on whether any people who shouldn't appear will appear at the Dharma Assembly."

"Secondly, the Profound Spirit History Book." Dongyan Hai said: "We haven't obtained a single Time Page so far. Before the ancient gods are resurrected, it is possible to reverse the situation."

"Only a few hundred years left, I'm afraid it's hard to find..."

"The Dark Temple has news, but it's all fake."

"..."

After bidding farewell to Du Yun, Zhao Xing set off and left the Hutou Star Continent.

He and Ji Si flew toward the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom one after another, but they didn't intend to enter the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom immediately.

Although Qing Yuzi's corpse had been urging, Zhao Xing wouldn't enter the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom immediately.

Now he was outside the ancient kingdom, and the influence of a certain force was still very subtle. If he entered the ancient kingdom, it would be difficult to do anything if he wanted to come out.

"If you look at the territory of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom as a 'World-Crossing,' outside the ancient kingdom is a relatively safe area."

"Qing Yuzi holding the ancient sword and urging him to enter is a kind of influence, and invisible 'accidents' are also a kind of influence, but after entering, this influence is even greater."

It's fine not to enter the "plot"; once you enter the plot, you are immediately pushed by the World-Cultivator Pen, and you can't escape.

This is not like digging a grave, where Bai Yang could fool it with a Main Chronicle Clone.

"With the Time Page covering me, I can still drag it out, at least until the people I want to see come." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the 1700th year of the Shixin Era.

Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Sun-Shining Star Ring.

This is outside the border of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and is also the star port closest to the Phantom God Star System.

In a luxurious manor in the Sun-Shining Star Ring, Zhao Xing was browsing the relevant information of the "Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly" through the 【Star Realm】.

"More than 13, 00 Reincarnation Realm users have arrived at the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom... so many strong people have come."

Zhao Xing lay in the spirit pool, browsing the public invitation list.

Reincarnation Realm users coming to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, of course, have to be public. This invitation list can be seen by anyone.

Zhao Xing judged whether his "calling people" had any effect just by looking at this latest invitation list.

Spirit mist curled, and at the other end of the spirit pool, a gentle voice came: "Not only that, it is expected to reach 40, 00 Reincarnation Realm users and over 10 billion Dao Domain Realm users in the end."

"In order to obtain the hosting rights for this Dharma Assembly, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom has also put in a lot of effort; the Kingdom Lord began preparing an era ago."

"Our Lu family has spent a lot of money; the 'Yuan Yin Fruit,' a kind of spirit fruit for entertaining Dao Domain Realm users, is provided by our Lu family."

Lu Yuehan's face was as warm as jade, her neck and below were in the spirit spring, and there were faintly visible spirit fish swimming around her perfect figure, with ten-colored treasure light.

She raised light water splashes, her palms brushed over her clean white skin, emitting little starlight, as if a fairy was bathing.

Such a fragrant scene did not attract Zhao Xing to look up at all, but he lowered his head and replied: "Being able to provide melons and fruits for the Dharma Assembly, the Marquis Mansion has extraordinary strength, and I admire it."

"Brother Zhao is too fond of looking at the star mirror, not willing to put it down even at this time." Lu Yuehan pouted. "I made an appointment to see you in the country, but you insisted on meeting outside the border, and after meeting, you didn't say what to do, it's really..."

Such a big beauty was bathing with him, and he was playing with the star mirror... didn't he want to do something else?

"Hahaha, Miss, forgive me." Zhao Xing laughed, although his head was raised, his eyes were still staring at the star mirror.

He really didn't want to do anything else; people were about to cool down, so how could he have the heart to think about anything else?

Now it was the 1700th year of the Shixin Era, and he had to see how many people he had called over these two hundred years.

In addition, the public list of the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly could also see many clues!

"I have already seen Emperor Lingyuan, Emperor Qingli, Emperor Youhuang, Emperor Haochen... In this list, many people are familiar to me and participated in the Tianyou Dharma Assembly."

The Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly held by the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom is also called the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly.

The one in Zhao Xing's memory was held in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom, called the Tianyou Dharma Assembly.

"However, just because these people are alive doesn't mean the Dongyan Ancient Clan failed." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Reincarnation Realm users are very difficult to truly die. If they encounter an emergency, they can protect a part of their "True Spirit" and escape into the deep void with a "Reincarnation Dao soldier" as their life-bound item.

Only by doing so, they give up the cultivation of this life, and everything they worked hard to cultivate in this life becomes the enemy's resources.

Those without Reincarnation Dao soldiers are miserable, and escaping is very difficult.

With Reincarnation Dao soldiers, it is relatively easy to recover to the Reincarnation Realm strength, it's just that the secret techniques and treasures cultivated in the original life are gone.

Just like Zhao Xing is now in the Reincarnation Realm; if he actively reincarnates, his Yuanhai Realm, including the Thousand Illusion Tree, Mo Yun Vine, etc., will be gone.

Recovering the realm and recovering the combat power are two different things.

Warrior's body secret techniques, such as those who have cultivated top-level Void Ancestor Golden Bodies, the Void Ancestor materials are only so much; if this life explodes, even if they know the secret technique in the next life, they can't gather the materials and can never cultivate the previous Golden Body.

"Emperor Lingyuan, Emperor Qingli, Emperor Youhuang, Emperor Haochen and others are still alive, which doesn't mean they didn't die here this time. It's also possible that they quickly cultivated back up later." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

These people he mentioned all have big forces and big backgrounds; as long as they awaken their reincarnation memories and contact their forces, they can quickly return to the Reincarnation Realm.

The Dongyan Ancient Clan wants to pit and kill these Reincarnation Realm users, but for the strong with "Reincarnation Dao soldiers," it just cuts off their path in this life, using their cultivation in this life as a sacrifice, which cannot be counted as truly killing them.

If it's a rookie Reincarnation Realm user, without even the protection of Reincarnation Dao soldiers, then dying is truly dying.

"With so many people alive, the possibility of the Dongyan Ancient Clan failing is very high." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After seeing the invitation list, he had some confidence in his heart.

He believed that some Emperor-level figures wouldn't hang up so easily.

"Hum~" The surface of the star mirror swept across like flowing water.

【The invitation list has been updated in real time!】

Zhao Xing checked quickly, scanned the new list, and then revealed a smile.

"Very good, Meng Wu and Emperor Hongshan appeared on the invitation list."

There is also a distinction between strong and weak in the Reincarnation Realm.

The lowest level, just became a Reincarnation Realm user, and hasn't refined a "Reincarnation Dao soldier," the reincarnation true spirit is very weak, and they haven't even mastered the secret technique of "Reincarnation."

This kind of "ordinary Reincarnation Realm user," if killed, is truly dead, and the true spirit is wiped out on the spot.

Such Reincarnation Realm users are also jokingly called "Returning Dao Emperors."

It means that if they dare to actively reincarnate, they are just sending themselves to "Return Dao to Heaven."

Second level, senior Reincarnation Realm user.

Has passed the first few most dangerous reincarnation reincarnations and mastered the reincarnation secret technique of "active reincarnation."

Just still no "Reincarnation Dao soldier."

They will reincarnate in some "worlds" with controllable danger coefficients, gradually strengthening their "true spirit."

As long as they don't encounter any major crisis, even without the protection of Reincarnation Dao

Third Tier: Elite Reincarnation Realm.

They have not only mastered the 'Reincarnation Secret Art' and refined a Reincarnation Dao Weapon, but their true spirit has also undergone ten or even dozens of cycles of tempering, making it extremely powerful.

By this stage, they are already very difficult to kill, unless someone deliberately sets a trap, devours their true spirit, or they reincarnate into some perilous place where both their true spirit and Dao Weapon are shattered.

Based on the broader context of the Profound Spirit Star Domain, there are currently few stable channels left for those in the Reincarnation Realm to strengthen their true spirits.

Spiritual energy is rapidly weakening, and the transformation into a desolate domain has made reincarnation fraught with danger, which is why Elite Reincarnation Realm experts are already very rare.

Fourth Tier: Reincarnation Emperor.

Each one possesses a unique Reincarnation Secret Art and a one-of-a-kind Reincarnation Dao Weapon, and they have all experienced at least one hundred cycles of reincarnation.

Such people are existences that dominate within the Reincarnation Realm; typically, Emperor-level Reincarnation Realm experts are hailed as the beings closest to gods.

Ordinary, Veteran, Elite, Emperor—these are the distinctions within the Reincarnation Realm.

"Elite Reincarnation Realm experts are already rare, and Emperors are even more so. Meng Wu and Emperor Hongshan are both of the top-most tier."

"One is a Qi Sect member, the other is a local-advantage-style Agricultural Official," Zhao Xing mused to himself.

"It is precisely the Emperors who will be attracted by divine objects, because they actively reincarnate for the sole purpose of proving their Dao and becoming gods."

Weaker Reincarnation Realm experts don't even dare to touch 'divine objects.' Because they lack the strength to protect them, they might instead be targeted by others and invite disaster.

"Emperor Hongshan comes from the Primordial Mound, and Meng Wu comes from the Red Star Empire. I wonder how many others will come."

In order to save his own life, Zhao Xing has been trying every possible way to lure those Emperors over these past few years.

He doesn't know who will come, so naturally, he is casting a wide net.

Whether there are dates or not, he has to strike the tree anyway.

"Some Emperors have explosive tempers; if they knew the truth, they might even pull out their blades to hack me. But I'm going to die anyway, so why care so much? Let Qing Yuzi take the heat; let him go pay the debts."

"It's all the mischief of Emperor Qingyu and Emperor Tianning; what does it have to do with me, Zhao Xing?"

"I'm not taking a single benefit," Zhao Xing thought with a sinister glint in his heart.

"Brother Zhao, your expression is terrifying right now; it looks like you're plotting something untoward~" Lu Yuehan swam over at some unknown moment.

"Hm?" Zhao Xing looked up and almost kissed Lu Yuehan, as she was leaning in very close, almost pressed against him.

The striking red lips, the high, elegant bridge of her nose, the eyes that seemed to both refuse and welcome, and that provocative figure in the water...

"Brother Zhao, there's no one in the Crescent Spirit Spring. If you were to plot something untoward against me, I'm only at the second realm; I wouldn't be able to resist you." Lu Yuehan leaned into Zhao Xing's ear, her vocal fry squeezing into his ear bit by bit.

"Fairy, it's very easy to make people suffer from qi deviation like this," Zhao Xing said languidly.

"Then what would it be like if you suffered from qi deviation?" Lu Yuehan stepped back half a pace, watching Zhao Xing with great interest.

"Would the Fairy like to find out?"

"Of course." A light ignited in Lu Yuehan's eyes. "I want to know everything about Brother Zhao."

"Just look into my eyes."

Zhao Xing looked into Lu Yuehan's eyes and immediately 'played' his 'turtle-slaying' journey for her.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rushed toward her, with the turtle wailing incessantly.

Then, it suddenly shifted to a mushroom forest; in the gloomy and terrifying forest, the mushrooms split their maws and emitted a horrific laughter.

"Ah—" Frightened, Lu Yuehan instinctively gave a start and retreated several steps in succession.

Zhao Xing was very satisfied with this reaction and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuehan approached again: "Brother Zhao, you, you are actually a Demon-Transformation-style Agricultural Official?"

"?"

Zhao Xing was a bit stunned; why are you even more excited?

He had intended to scare Lu Yuehan away; having a Demon-Transformation-style Agricultural Official as your guest advisor is useful, but you can't possibly like it.

Unexpectedly, it had absolutely no effect.

"Yes, doesn't the Fairy feel afraid?"

"Not afraid, just a little more curious." Lu Yuehan looked at Zhao Xing.

"I'm afraid." Zhao Xing flashed, appearing behind a screen, and put on his clothes.

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yuehan patted the water and called out.

"I'm afraid of delaying the Fairy," Zhao Xing said. "I am a gambler who licks blood off the blade; everything I do is very dangerous work."

"Dao companions are meant to share life and death. Besides, what Zhao Xing is plotting, how dangerous can it be? I, Lu Yuehan, am also a gambler!"

"Assuming it requires betting the Lu Yue Marquis Prefecture, can you use them as a stake, Fairy?"

Lu Yuehan did not answer, only angrily splashed the water.

She took it for granted that Zhao Xing was making excuses to brush her off.

Zhao Xing was only at the Minor Divine Ability realm; no matter how much trouble he could cause, there should be a limit. Making such an assumption, wasn't he just brushing her off?

On the other side, Zhao Xing flew out of the Crescent Spirit Spring.

If Lu Yuehan were that kind of casual woman, he wouldn't mind playing along. But she wanted a Dao companion, so he couldn't just mess around. He couldn't even guarantee his own safety, so why harm others?

"Swish~"

Zhao Xing arrived at Ji Si's room.

"Grand Agricultural Official."

Ji Si was floating cross-legged on a mountain of books, surrounded by ancient texts with wings, flying about in chaos.

"Yo, what kind of fresh trick is this?" Zhao Xing curiously examined those ancient books with white wings.

Ji Si landed, thoughtful, and said: "I am cultivating the 'Star History: Ancient Demon: Shura Biographies,' wanting to summon the Shura race from among the ancient demons."

"However, my foundation is insufficient, and the Shura race has already gone extinct, so I only summoned the wings and cannot fully summon the heroic spirits of the Shura race."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Xing suddenly understood.

"It is also I who have delayed your time."

"Since you are already able to cultivate the 'Ancient Demon Biographies,' you should now go and conquer a small world to serve as your own transmission world or main world."

A Starry Sky Historian needs such a process to strengthen their historical foundation.

The longer the time, the stronger the transmission world avatar or main chronicle avatar becomes.

"Without the Grand Agricultural Official, I would not have reached this step." Ji Si shook his head. "How could there be any talk of delay?"

If not for Zhao Xing, Ji Si would still be spinning in circles at the second realm.

He is a dual cultivator of Life and History; without the resource support provided by Zhao Xing, he wouldn't have reached this point even in ten thousand years.

"My apologies, I was the one being overly formal." Zhao Xing smiled. He then turned to the main business: "Ji Si, you don't need to send the letters for now."

Zhao Xing waved his hand, drawing a star map: "Next, you will accompany me to this place."

Ji Si looked at the location Zhao Xing pointed to and couldn't help but be stunned: "Tao Yuan Star? Grand Agricultural Official, isn't this the border between the Great Ye Dynasty and the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom?"

"Yes."

Ji Si then stopped asking more questions.

For these past two hundred years, he and Zhao Xing have been wandering around the border of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, not doing anything else, as if they were on vacation, and then there was only one thing: placing avatars everywhere.

"Are we leaving immediately?"

"The old rules: I go first, you follow," Zhao Xing said.

"What about Zhan Ze?"

"Don't worry about him; I've invited him to go to Qingyu Star to refine weapons," Zhao Xing said.

In the year 1704 of the Shixin Era, on the way to Tao Yuan Star, near a mineral star belonging to the Great Ye Dynasty named 'Taomu Jia-13'.

"Hum~"

Zhao Xing's world boat suddenly self-destructed without warning.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing's true body, including his avatars, were all blown to death near this desolate 'Taomu Jia-13' mineral planet.

Subsequently, the void twisted, and a man in black robes immediately appeared.

He, 'Quentin', a seventh-cycle Reincarnation Realm expert, could be considered a veteran reincarnator.

He was the powerhouse sent by the Dongyan Ancient Clan to resolve the 'Qing Yuzi problem.'

"Collect!" Quentin casually collected the wreckage in this area and left immediately.

And three days after Quentin left.

"Whoosh~"

Ji Si, who had followed to the vicinity of 'Taomu Jia-13', immediately opened his ring.

"Hum~"

A white light appeared, spreading across the planetary system where the Great Ye Dynasty's 'Taomu Jia-13' was located.

Time returns to a certain moment in 1704, the day before Zhao Xing entered the star system where 'Taomu Jia-13' is located.

"Grand Agricultural Official!" Ji Si's world boat suddenly accelerated, catching up to Zhao Xing's world boat.

Seeing Ji Si enter the world boat, Zhao Xing's expression changed: "You used it?"

Please... you.... bookmark_()

"Yes." Ji Si nodded solemnly; whoever holds the Time Page possesses the memories.

At this moment, Zhao Xing didn't know, while Ji Si knew the inside story.

"Go, hurry, turn around!" Zhao Xing decided to turn around immediately and take a different route.

At this time, Quentin was still lurking near 'Taomu Jia-13'.

He had no idea what had happened, and even a year after Zhao Xing had left, he still believed that the treasure he was after had experienced an error, or that he had miscalculated the location or time.

"Grand Agricultural Official, this is actually a..."

"You know, so don't say it out loud." Zhao Xing's expression was gloomy.

After Ji Si's reminder, he immediately checked his panel.

The panel showed that he had indeed been near 'Taomu Jia-13' and even displayed the coordinates.

Without a doubt, he had truly died once.

"On which day did you use it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"The third day," Ji Si said.

"That's good." Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Only three days of time were backtracked, and it was within a desolate star system of the Great Ye Dynasty; it was very difficult for anyone to notice anything unusual.

"The tension of the Time Dao will smooth out the twisted traces; the three days that were backtracked are like a piece of silt dug out of a riverbed, which will soon be washed away and smoothed over."

If it were within the territory of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, in certain important places, if time were backtracked for too long, it would likely be noticed by a very select few powerhouses.

"Grand Agricultural Official, I..."

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I want to say that it is actually safer to keep that item with you," Ji Si said.

"Don't be afraid."

"It's not fear." Ji Si shook his head. "I discovered that it has a passive backtracking function."

"As long as you hold a corner of the river, you can pre-set time nodes."

"I might not be able to arrive in time, and if you can use it yourself, it would be much more secure."

"It can be used like that? I can use it?" Zhao Xing was stunned; he hadn't used such high-quality goods in his previous life.

"Yes, as soon as I got it, I understood this function. It doesn't require you to be a Historian to use it." Ji Si nodded.

He pointed behind Zhao Xing: "You can imagine that there are countless shadows of yours passing through there, traversing the long river of time."

"After you backtrack, the present becomes history, and history becomes the future."

"I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.

That is to say, he doesn't have to wait for Ji Si to bring the Time Page to use it after he dies.

As long as he carries it on his person, if he dies, it can be passively backtracked.

This is indeed safer.

In the previous method, Ji Si's arrival was still full of variables, far less convenient than using it himself.

"It seems I can't wait any longer." Zhao Xing muttered to himself, "I must enter the territory of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom immediately, otherwise such 'deaths' will keep happening."

One such event is enough; Zhao Xing won't keep testing it.

The Dongyan Ancient Clan has divine objects; although the priority of the Time Page is very high, there is no guarantee it won't be discovered.

"Let's go, we're going to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

…………

Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Yuanhai World Star.

This is a top-tier world star and also the national capital that has been transformed by the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom for countless years.

At this moment, on an ancient street of the Yuanhai World Star, Meng Wu was walking leisurely.

"Wu Tian, you swindle people in major ancient kingdoms and boast of knowing the past and future; have you ever heard of the name 'Emperor Tianning'?"

"How can that be called swindling? Meng Wu, you have a deep misunderstanding of me." An ethereal voice came from the ring.

Meng Wu smiled it off: "Fine, let's talk business."

Wu Tian replied: "Emperor Tianning is clearly a fabricated name."

"This person is likely very weak, which is why they used such a title to lure you."

"How so?"

"Meng Wu, I'm going to say something harsh, but don't mind it."

"Speak directly."

"Although you are at the Emperor level, you are not worth a divine object."

"That is indeed harsh." Meng Wu clicked his tongue.

"Since it's your old friend, and they still won't come to see you now, they must be afraid to see you." Wu Tian spoke eloquently: "There is no other possibility besides them being weak."

"This person definitely didn't just lure you alone to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

"As I said, you alone are not worth a divine object."

"Oh? You mean to say that this Emperor Tianning will gather me and other powerhouses together?" Meng Wu asked.

"Inevitably." Wu Tian affirmed. "So you don't need to go looking for them; they will come to find you."

"Interesting." Meng Wu smiled, "As expected, swindlers understand swindlers best."

"You're too kind."

"Since you're so capable, why not tell me what their true intention is?" Meng Wu asked.

"And how did they come to know some of my privacy?"

"If you can guess correctly, I will reduce your sentence and let you out of Erliang Slope."

There was a long silence in the ring, and not until Meng Wu was about to lose patience did Wu Tian's voice reappear.

"Cannot be spoken."

Meng Wu stopped his steps, somewhat surprised: "You are actually afraid; what are you afraid of?"

Wu Tian's voice was somewhat hoarse: "Cannot be spoken."

"Oh?" Meng Wu stopped his steps. "Aren't you going to advise me to give up my greed? That 'desire' you speak of?"

"Cannot be spoken."

Meng Wu immediately lost interest and mocked: "I think you just can't say anything substantial, so you're playing word games here."

"I think it's not necessarily true, as you say, that someone will come to find me."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Meng Wu suddenly received a message from his great-grandson Meng Ye: "Great-grandfather, someone came to the mansion to deliver a letter; he claims to be a person sent by 'Emperor Tianning'."

"Oh?" Meng Wu's face immediately became extremely colorful. Did Wu actually guess right?

"Whoosh~" With a thought, Meng Wu returned to his mansion.

Meng Ye had been waiting for a long time.

"Where is the letter."

"Here."

"How was it delivered?"

"It was a very ordinary messenger puppet from the Yuanhai Kingdom." Meng Ye said somewhat uneasily: "Great-grandfather, did I do something wrong? Should I have detained the puppet?"

"Forget it." Meng Wu shook his head.

Regardless of whether Emperor Tianning is real or fake, they certainly wouldn't let him find anything.

The letter was the same as last time, a 'Bone Fire Script.'

Meng Wu moved the text, and soon the border of the text ignited with flames.

"Whoosh~"

A line of text appeared in the flames:

【Please go to the 'Mountain and Sea Pavilion' to meet an old friend, waiting for two hundred years.】

"Mountain and Sea Pavilion?" Meng Wu looked at his great-grandson: "Is there a place called Mountain and Sea Pavilion in the Yuanhai capital?"

"Many." Meng Ye replied: "There are at least thirty million places called Mountain and Sea Pavilion."

"What on earth does this person want!" Meng Wu was a bit angry; having to wait and having to search.

"Although there are many Mountain and Sea Pavilions, there must be only one that can allow many Reincarnation Realm experts to appear simultaneously without seeming abrupt." Wu Tian's voice came from the ring.

"I know that too, do I need you to tell me?" Meng Wu directly sealed the ring.

He then looked at his great-grandson: "Go, find me a Mountain and Sea Pavilion that can accommodate many Reincarnation Realm experts appearing without seeming abrupt."

"Yes."

"This is the Mountain and Sea Pavilion." Emperor Hongshan appeared in front of a towering high-rise.

"It's not far from the Dharma assembly venue. I wonder who is waiting for me here."

Emperor Hongshan entered the Mountain and Sea Pavilion in a low-key manner.

Compared to Emperor Hongshan's simplicity, the arrival of other Reincarnation Realm experts was full of strange phenomena.

"Sshh~" The void tore open, and a giant dragon crawled out from within.

Then there were Kunpeng beasts, surrounded by biting wind blades, soaring through the sky, blocking out the sun, their cries like thunder shattering the void;

Some looked like Qilin, their bodies covered in indestructible scales, the scales engraved with runes, stepping on the void, their bodies erupting with flames that could incinerate everything in the world.

Countless exotic beasts cleared the way; those who didn't know would think the demon race had torn open the void.

Just as everyone was surprised, a slender figure in a black robe appeared behind the exotic beasts.

He sat on a throne made entirely of silver, inlaid with the skulls of various exotic beasts, and at the base of the throne, it seemed as if endless flames and planets were rolling and moving.

The surrounding stars set him off, revolving around the throne, as if he were the center of the universe!

"Boom~"

Countless exotic beasts pulled the throne, and the entire heaven and earth shook.

"Emperor Lingyuan, it's Emperor Lingyuan who has come!"

"What a terrifying sense of oppression! We are all in the Reincarnation Realm, why do I feel like Emperor Lingyuan could kill me with a single glance?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can't compare. He has over a thousand mechanical beasts under his command that have Reincarnation Realm combat power; how can you compare?"

"That is the Ten Thousand Demon Throne; Emperor Lingyuan killed tens of thousands of Reincarnation Realm great demons and fused them into his Dao Weapon, so the pressure is naturally heavy!"

"Everyone, move aside..."

There are also gaps between Reincarnation Realm experts; facing big shots at the Emperor level, everyone else can only avoid them.

However, Emperor Lingyuan quickly restrained his pressure, all strange phenomena and exotic beasts disappeared, and even the Ten Thousand Demon Throne vanished.

Emperor Lingyuan's face was as sharp as if carved by a knife, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his eyes were like abysses in the cold night, deep and icy.

Facing the person from the Mountain and Sea Pavilion who came to welcome him, Emperor Lingyuan directly asked via sound transmission: "Do you have a person here called Emperor Tianning?"

The person in charge of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion shook his head: "Reporting to the Emperor, there has never been any Emperor Tianning here."

Emperor Lingyuan said: "Then arrange a quiet place to stay."

"Yes. Emperor Lingyuan, please follow me."

"Swish~" After Emperor Hongshan and Emperor Lingyuan appeared, one figure after another soon appeared at the Mountain and Sea Pavilion.

As soon as they appeared, they asked the person in charge if there was a person here called 'Emperor Tianning.'

It left 'Tian Zhi,' the person in charge of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, completely confused.

"Has anyone called Emperor Tianning ever stayed here?" Tian Zhi asked his subordinate.

"No." The subordinate shook his head, "Absolutely not."

"Emperor Tianning..." Tian Zhi wondered to himself, "How have I never heard of such a figure."

"Forget it, you may go down first."

The people he summoned arrived one after another at the Yuanhai World Star of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

However, at this moment, 'Emperor Tianning' was busy and overwhelmed.

After experiencing an accidental death, Zhao Xing decisively entered the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

Following the intentions of Qing Yuzi, or rather the sacred object, he began to look for another 'sacred object.'

However, to his surprise, after going around in circles, he actually returned to Qingyu World Star.

"Hum hum hum~"

The sacred object in Qing Yuzi's hand shook crazily, seemingly wanting to head in another direction, while Qing Yuzi's corpse remained unwavering, staring straight ahead.

One sword, one person, seemed to have developed a serious disagreement.

"You want to go to Qingyu World Star?" Zhao Xing asked.

Qing Yuzi did not answer, but the Yin energy on his body was no longer manic, which was clearly a tacit agreement.

Zhao Xing looked again at the ancient sword, its tip pointing east: "Then where does it want to go?"

"Shouldn't we be going to the Imperial Capital?"

Zhao Xing was also somewhat confused.

Logically speaking, the Dharma assembly is held in the Yuanhai Empire, so the altars, sacred objects, and such should also be in the Yuanhai Empire; even if they aren't buried there, they should be in the vicinity.

But the direction the ancient sword is pointing and the Qingyu World Star that Qing Yuzi wants to come to are both, damn it, not in the direction of the Imperial Capital.

"I've already agreed with Lu Yuehan to have her take me into the Imperial Capital to attend the Dharma assembly, and now you're saying we shouldn't go?"

"Old brother, what on earth are you doing?" Zhao Xing was speechless.

Qing Yuzi isn't even speaking in riddles anymore; he's simply speaking in death-riddles.

"I really admire you, you old fox..." Zhao Xing had no choice but to take out the Time Page and cover the Reincarnation Ancient Sword.

With this, the ancient sword didn't shake as violently.

But Zhao Xing returned to Qingyu World Star in the year 1723 of the Shixin Era.

His way of returning was also quite unique.

When Qing Yuzi was still three or four star sectors away from Qingyu World Star, he suddenly waved his hand and cut a void crack.

On the other side of the crack, a coffin was placed.

"You actually had this trick up your sleeve; you never taught me that..." Zhao Xing was surprised and suspicious.

Qing Yuzi opened a void passage, similar to Du Yun's method, shortening the distance.

The coffin on the other side looked somewhat familiar to Zhao Xing; wasn't that the ice coffin that originally held Old Qing's corpse?

Where did this bring him?

Into Qing Yuzi's tomb?

"Sshh sshh sshh~" Qing Yuzi's Yin energy began to fluctuate again, as if urging Zhao Xing to follow him.

"Since I'm already here..." Zhao Xing muttered, following Qing Yuzi into the void passage.

Just like that, he and Qing Yuzi's corpse returned to the underground of Qingyu World Star.

Zhao Xing had only seen the ice coffin, but he didn't know where it went after it sank into the ground.

After he jumped over from the void passage and examined the layout, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You built a Reincarnation Altar underground on Qingyu World Star; does your teacher know?"

This time, Qing Yuzi finally responded; the turbid energy in his eyes vanished in an instant, and flames ignited, forming a line of text.

【He knows, but not entirely; the materials were prepared by him, about an epoch ago, when I went to the Chenluo Desolate Domain.】

"Clap clap clap~" Zhao Xing couldn't help but applaud. "Very good, you master and disciple kept me in the dark; that's really very good."

"It seems that in the last words you left for Prefect Ziyue, you had already included me."

Qing Yuzi: 【I didn't calculate that much; the final test of Su Wan'er's soul was deliberately let through for you. If you didn't cultivate the Three-God Life Palace, you wouldn't have been able to bring me back.】

【I originally wanted Ziyue to give you a sum of money to settle the karma, but you were already in the game.】

Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless; so the final test of Su Wan'er was arranged by you, kid?

You played the victim very realistically!

"I was wondering why Prefect Ziyue would give me so much money just because I brought a corpse back."

"But there is one more thing I don't understand."

Qing Yuzi: 【Please speak.】

Zhao Xing pointed to the surroundings: "You are missing quite a lot of things here, right? The Reincarnation Altar is just a frame, you don't have your life-bound Dao Weapon, and there are no sacrificial items... You can't possibly rely entirely on shearing the wool of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, right?"

Qing Yuzi didn't speak; instead, he suddenly grabbed the Reincarnation Ancient Sword, leaned back violently, and stabbed it into his own chest.

"Pfft~"

The Reincarnation Ancient Sword was stabbed in from the front of his chest and pierced through his spine, still humming incessantly.

"Holy shit, what are you doing!" Zhao Xing was startled; he had seen people whipping others' corpses, but this was his first time seeing someone whip their own corpse.

"If you can't say it, you can't say it; I understand the taboos, you don't have to do this."

After Qing Yuzi stabbed the sword, his hands were released; he staggered and sat cross-legged on the square altar, then one hand opened and reached deep into the void, grabbing toward the distance, seemingly waiting for something.

Zhao Xing followed, and then a line of text flashed in Qing Yuzi's eyes: 【Cannot be spoken, but do you still remember the first test I set?】

"Of course I remember, you..."

"Damn, no way."

Zhao Xing's pupils shrank, suddenly as if he had thought of something.

A smile appeared on the corner of Qing Yuzi's mouth, as if he had done something proud and was showing off to someone.

【Yes, it is just as you thought. With it, there is no need for more treasures.】

Zhao Xing was so numb he couldn't speak.

Are we playing this big, brother?

Qing Yuzi actually stole a piece of the Yan God Stele?!
