At night.

Ji Fuyao came to the entrance of Lu Xuan's cave dwelling, she called softly, "Master, I have an important matter to discuss. May I come in?"

Lu Xuan said, "Come in."

Ji Fuyao told you, Lu Xuan, about the matter of reforging the Fuyao Dynasty.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I naturally support. Now the great era has descended, the vast seas surge; the Fuyao Dynasty can rely on this great trend to rise again."

Ji Fuyao was somewhat moved.

Indeed so.

She knew the master would definitely support her!

Lu Xuan lightly said, "How to do it, you arrange yourself. If this matter causes an uproar and gets out of control, I will intervene."

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes flickered, "Thank you, Master. Perhaps in a few days, I will leave the Great Dao Sect to prepare for this."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Sure. Don't forget to cultivate. Strive to enter the Saint King Realm within these two months."

Ji Fuyao gave an "hmm" and floated away.

After Ji Fuyao left.

Lu Xuan sent a voice transmission to Chen Zhangsheng, "Zhangsheng, come to my cave dwelling for a moment."

Soon.

A wisp of clear wind swept into Lu Xuan's cave dwelling, and Chen Zhangsheng suddenly descended.

It was a wooden puppet incarnation.

Lu Xuan smiled, "Zhangsheng, I'll assign you a task."

Chen Zhangsheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but still said, "Master, please speak."

Lu Xuan told Chen Zhangsheng about Ji Fuyao's matter of reforging the Fuyao Dynasty.

"Old Three, after Fuyao leaves the Great Dao Sect, you shall secretly protect your Senior Sister."

Chen Zhangsheng: "……"

"Won't the master intervene?"

"In the end, it is still he who must bear it."

"But he wants to lie down!"

Lu Xuan said gloomily, "Your Senior Sister will soon enter the Saint King Realm, and she possesses the Six-Star Imperial Weapon Splitting Heaven, the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, and the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, enabling her to fight a One-Star Great Emperor. You only need to secretly handle the High-Star Great Emperor for your Senior Sister."

Chen Zhangsheng sighed, "Okay."

Lu Xuan said with a deep gaze, "If I'm not mistaken, the Heavenly Net Hall will not just give up like that. You shall remain hidden in the dark."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded.

……

Great Dao Sect, a hidden place.

The Sect Leader and others had long finished the Great Emperor Dao Patterns baptism; many Peak Lords successively left the Dao Pattern Heavenly Pool, the Sect Leader persisted the longest, being the last to leave the Dao Pattern Heavenly Pool.

This time, everyone gained enormously!

The Sect Leader leapt into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

The Peak Lord of Misty Peak, the Peak Lord of Body Tempering Peak, and others also entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

Heavenly Walking Old Ancestor looked gratified, "The residual power of this Great Emperor Dao Patterns baptism is enough for you to prove emperor! Next, you should properly comprehend your own 'Dao'; you can go to the Great Dao Hall to find Master Mu to obtain your respective opportunities to prove emperor, striving to enter the Emperor Realm as soon as possible!"

The Sect Leader and others said, "Thank you, Old Ancestor!"

Emperor Realm!

Over the past thousands of years, the High-Star Great Emperor of Nan Huang did not appear, and a One-Star Great Emperor was already considered a top expert; but now the Bronze Ancient Hall has appeared, many ancient forces have emerged, and furthermore, the powerful one of Xuan Qing Feng has sent a voice transmission to the Three Thousand Prefectures of Nan Huang, causing more experts to awaken.

The present Nan Huang is no longer what it once was!

The Sect Leader and others know that next they must quickly enter the Emperor Realm to have the qualifications to join this era's great trend.

In the distance.

Heavenly Origin Old Ancestor, Nine Balance Old Ancestor, and Medicine Spring Old Ancestor studied the Dao Resonance of the Bronze Ancient Hall, which also yielded some gains.

This wisp of the Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance is indeed the key to opening the Bronze Ancient Hall!

The only problem now is that we still do not know when the Bronze Ancient Hall will open, nor where it will open.

Nine Balance Old Ancestor's eyes were deep as he pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, if Heavenly Origin Dao Friend carries this wisp of the Bronze Ancient Hall's Dao Resonance, they can resonate with the Bronze Ancient Hall, thus also being able to locate its position."

Heavenly Origin Old Ancestor wryly smiled, "The Three Thousand Prefectures of Nan Huang are vast and boundless; I cannot possibly test every prefecture. However, I can instead seek out some possible major prefectures to investigate."

Medicine Spring Old Ancestor nodded, "That works. Then I'll trouble Heavenly Origin Dao Friend."

Everyone's eyes burned with anticipation.

This Bronze Ancient Hall stands alone apart from the world; although it has appeared several times in Nan Huang, no one has ever subdued it, and no classic has ever recorded its secrets.

Their understanding of the Bronze Ancient Hall is pitifully little.

This thing is profoundly mysterious; in the ancient era, some speculated that it might be related to the Supreme, but this has not been verified.

Heavenly Origin Old Ancestor sighed, "During this time, I will wander through Nan Huang and make an attempt."

Nine Balance Old Ancestor extended an invitation, "Heavenly Origin Dao Friend, you may first come to my Yun Prefecture; last time, due to matters being set aside, my Green Wood Academy has not yet fulfilled the hospitality of a host."

Heavenly Origin Old Ancestor smiled, "Okay."

Next, Medicine Spring Old Ancestor, Fragrant Incense Sect, Ancient Royal Family, and other forces also sent out invitations.

Finally, Nan Chenzi hesitated a bit, then said, "You can also come to my Ta Prefecture."

Heavenly Origin Old Ancestor nodded.

A moment of silence.

Nan Chenzi asked, "By the way, Heavenly Origin, how is the investigation into the Great Dao Bell going? Before we leave, we hope to obtain an explanation."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Travel Ancestor and the Azure Mystic Ancestor, among others, descended.

The Heavenly Travel Ancestor said, "During this time, we have examined the Dao Bell's pattern fluctuations on that day. The Dao Bell suddenly surged, as if it had sensed something…… Did Fellow Daoist Nanchen do anything that day?"

The scene fell into a stalemate.

Everyone looked toward Nanchen.

Nanchen's face turned grim; he flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly, saying, "What? Now you all suspect me? This is utterly unreasonable!"

The Heavenly Travel Ancestor continued, "Perhaps the Dao Bell sensed Fellow Daoist Nanchen's aura."

Nanchen's beard trembled with anger, "Forget it, forget it. Let's just pretend this never happened!"

Everyone: "……"

Next, the Heavenly Origin Ancestor proposed, "Fellow Daoists, why not discuss the Dao here for a few days before departing?"

The Nine Equilibrium Ancestor nodded in agreement, saying, "It's rare to gather like this; naturally we should discuss the Dao."

Everyone said, "That works."

Nanchen hesitated a moment, then gave a faint nod.

Soon.

More than a dozen ancestors sat cross-legged upon the Azure Mystic Ancestor's celestial river; a gentle breeze stirred, the Dao Resonance wind lifting the white hair of many ancestors, and an exceedingly profound and obscure aura surged upon their bodies.

Let the Dao discussion begin!

The Heavenly Origin Ancestor looked toward the sect master and tossed a storage ring, saying, "This time Ye Chen captured a thread of bronze Dao Resonance; this is his reward."

The sect master received it respectfully, saying, "Then I will make a trip to Xuan Qing Feng."

Soon.

The sect master left the hidden place; a divine rainbow rose beneath his feet as he shot toward Xuan Qing Feng.

……

Tianluo Palace.

The Grand Elder, Emperor Guling of Tianluo Palace, stepped out of Tianluo Prefecture and personally directed the operation to capture Ji Fuyao.

Know that the Palace Master, Duanhun Sheng, had promised him the opportunity and secret art of the Nine-Star Emperor Realm and the techniques of the Jiemie Sect!

More importantly, this is the first time, as the Grand Elder of Tianluo Palace, that he has felt the grasp of supreme authority during the palace's millennia-long rise.

The sensation of wielding Tianluo Palace's authority, with a single call summoning a hundred responses, left him unable to extricate himself.

Emperor Guling secretly thought, this opportunity is absolutely his.

He wanted Nan Huang to know that Tianluo Palace was not only Duanhun Sheng, but also Emperor Guling… a future Nine-Star Emperor!

Moreover, upon completing this mission, he would also enter the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, coming into the sight of the Jiemie Elder!

Know that capturing Ji Fuyao to obtain the supreme reincarnation secret art is a command personally issued by the Jiemie Elder!

Naturally, he would also secretly seize a portion of that supreme reincarnation secret art, equivalent to gaining an extra life!

Soon.

Emperor Guling issued orders to the Tianluo Palace branches of all prefectures, preparing to muster.

Several days later.

Emperor Guling had already arrived in Yunzhou.

This place lies at the junction of the Great Dao Sect, the Black Flame Mountain Range, and the Ye family of Qingzhou, making it convenient for him to issue commands.

Soon.

The Tianluo Palace of Yunzhou already had numerous emperors gathered.

Emperor Guling ordered, "Starting now, capture Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and other top-tier Zhuan Chuan Di Zi of the Great Dao Sect!"

He issued a bounty list!

For Ji Fuyao, the bounty is one eight-star emperor weapon, one eight-star emperor-rank cultivation method, a vast amount of supreme spirit crystals, and an opportunity for personal guidance from Duanhun Sheng.

Ye Chen ranks second, with a bounty of one six-star emperor weapon and one six-star emperor-rank cultivation method.

As for Luo Lingkong, Liu Xuan, Fang Yan, and others, the bounty is only a four-star emperor weapon or a four-star emperor-rank cultivation method.

In a moment.

Numerous Tianluo Palace emperors were immensely excited.

Evidently, the primary target is to capture Ji Fuyao, with Ye Chen secondary.

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

Emperor Guling did not reveal the true reason for capturing Ji Fuyao.

Aside from Ji Fuyao, this reward list is merely padding for the others!

Emperor Guling regarded the Tianluo Palace personnel as beasts of burden; they were not qualified to know the true purpose of capturing Ji Fuyao, nor did they need to.

Emperor Guling was very patient, ordering his subordinates to act covertly and not leave any traces.

After all, the titan of Xuan Qing Feng said, whoever dares to bully the weak with strength, he will surely kill!

However.

Emperor Guling was also confident; he possessed three palace master edicts, which, though not a match for that titan, were sufficient for escape!

After all, he still had a little-known trump card… evasion technique!

He secretly thought, this time the palace master letting him oversee this matter must be because they valued his evasion technique; upon success, he can swiftly return to Tianluo Prefecture.

Upon thinking this.

Emperor Guling's lips curled slightly, "My evasion technique is something even the palace master cannot catch; surely the titan of Xuan Qing Feng can do nothing against me. When I capture Ji Fuyao, he can only watch me depart."

……
