Chapter 93: Grand Dao Sect Battles the Heavenly Net Hall!

Emergency assembly! Notify all Emperor Realm Elders to follow me to Azure Prefecture and capture Ji Fuyao! Whoever dares to disrupt my Heavenly Net Hall's plan must die!

Soon.

Five Great Emperors descend!

Two Two-Star Great Emperors, three One-Star Great Emperors!

This is the Emperor Realm Elder who came to submit after the Chen Prefecture Branch Hall slaughtered several major human powers.

Can Yang Great Emperor, with five Great Emperors, tore through the void and flew toward Azure Prefecture.

His killing intent surged to the heavens!

Whoever dares help Empress Fuyao escape, he will surely kill them!

Whoever!!!

Faster! Even faster!

Can Yang Great Emperor, while urging, also used a secret technique to deduce, finally confirming that those two Great Emperors of their branch hall ultimately fell in Liu City, Azure Prefecture.

Head to Liu City!

……

Grand Dao Sect.

Xuan Qing Feng.

Lu Xuan lay outside the thatched cottage, basking in the sun; inside the thatched cottage, Ji Fuyao was cooking.

Ji Fuyao felt some emotion; last time, after eating food made with Qingming Heavenly Water and Dao Xuan Iron Pot, plus the Mysterious Mechanism Spirit Fish of Ancestor Cang Xuan, her body was filled with the qi of 'Dao' and 'Resonance'.

That qi was too vast; she couldn't fully digest it!

However, these profound Dao and Resonance were not wasted; instead, they all gathered on her Dao Foundation, constantly circulating, like brilliant starlight.

Ji Fuyao once inwardly viewed her inner world; her Dao Foundation had quietly changed.

Although it's not yet a perfect Dao Foundation, after the baptism and tempering of Dao and Resonance, her Dao Foundation became somewhat mysterious.

Even she couldn't understand it.

While cooking, she marveled that her foundation in this life had far surpassed that of her previous life!

Moreover, Lu Xuan said there are still treasures!

Upon thinking of this.

Ji Fuyao murmured, 'Master, just how many supreme treasures do you have?!'

Her divine sense stretched outward to the thatched cottage, only to see Lu Xuan lying on the recliner, very leisurely, with not a trace of aura leaking, like an ordinary mortal.

Ji Fuyao smiled faintly, spoke softly, 'Really good. Master is really good.'

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao brought out the food, 'Master, eat.'

Lu Xuan slowly rose from the recliner, 'Good.'

Started eating.

Now that she has Qingming Heavenly Water and Dao Xuan Iron Pot, Ji Fuyao's resistance to eating has long vanished.

Eating is cultivation!

If the cultivators of Nan Huang knew what they were eating, they'd probably overturn the heavens!

Each bite is something even the mighty Emperor Realm experts of Nan Huang cannot obtain!

Watching Lu Xuan focus on eating, Ji Fuyao smiled faintly; the Dao and Resonance contained in this food can be easily endured by Master, even without transformation.

She still doesn't know just how strong Master Lu Xuan is.

In Azure Prefecture, Lu Xuan merely appeared with the realm of a One-Star Emperor, yet he could ignore the attack of another One-Star Great Emperor and instantly kill him!

This is somewhat shocking to hear!

Afterwards, she repeatedly recalled that scene; countless terrifying offensive forces struck Lu Xuan's body, without a ripple, not even able to lift a corner of his robe… this is simply too terrifying!

Ji Fuyao hesitated then asked, 'Master, when you eat, do you feel anything?'

Lu Xuan asked, confused, 'What?'

Ji Fuyao said, 'This food uses a lot of Qingming Heavenly Water, Master, don't you feel anything?'

You know, she needs half a day for her body to absorb just a mouthful!

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

This hits his sore spot.

He at that time actually drank several big gulps of Qingming Heavenly Water, and the result was just like drinking water, feeling nothing.

His dantian had no reaction, his fleshly body had no reaction, his soul had no reaction.

His body was like a sheet of still dead water; no matter what fell into it, it couldn't raise the slightest ripple.

Truly… an innate cultivation crippled body!

If others drank that much Qingming Heavenly Water, not mentioning enlightenment, they'd likely be directly exploded by the Heaven-Earth Dao Resonance, but he had no incident!

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan forced a smile, 'No feeling. Just the taste of the food.'

Ji Fuyao's delicate body trembled, somewhat shocked.

Indeed so.

Heaven-Earth Supreme Treasure, Qingming Heavenly Water can no longer give Master any insight!

It's quite obvious that Master's true realm probably surpasses Ancestor Cang Xuan by countless folds!

Just how strong is he?

Ji Fuyao finally couldn't help but ask, 'Master, just how strong are you?'

Lu Xuan lightly said, 'Just a bit stronger than you.'

After all, he is only an Eight Star Profound Saint, while Ji Fuyao is already a One Star Profound Saint; the difference is not that great.

But when these words fell into Ji Fuyao's ears, they carried another meaning.

She knew that her Master had always been low-key; what he called a little bit probably differed by heaven and earth!

Ji Fuyao asked, "Master, are you still cultivating now? I've never seen you cultivate."

Lu Xuan casually said, "No need to cultivate anymore; it's unnecessary. You just cultivate."

Ji Fuyao's eyes shimmered with divine light as she stared in shock at Lu Xuan.

Indeed, that's the case!

Master is already so strong that he fundamentally doesn't need to cultivate!

Ji Fuyao smiled charmingly, feeling she had learned Lu Xuan's greatest secret.

Invincible.

Master is invincible!

And the saying 'You just cultivate' made a warm current surge in her heart, somewhat moving her.

Soon.

Lu Xuan finished eating, then as usual lay on the Yan Chuang, "Right, Fuyao, after you eat later, follow me to the cave abode; I'll heal your injuries."

Ji Fuyao didn't know what she was thinking, her face slightly flushed, "Okay, Master."

She felt a bit of anticipation.

……

In the depths of the Void.

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor was leading several Peak Masters across the Void when a streak of extraordinarily brilliant divine radiance shot across the azure heavens like a meteor, extremely fast!

Everyone's mood was anxious, like blazing fire.

Merely, the Grand Dao Sect is tens of millions of li from Azure Prefecture; even if Cang Xuan Old Ancestor activated the ancient forbidden secret technique, paying a great price, it would still take several hours to descend upon Azure Prefecture.

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor looked grave, "We don't have much time left! I don't know how Fuyao is doing now."

He had already used the Grand Dao Sect's secret technique to lock onto the qi trace Ji Fuyao had left behind.

It's Azure Prefecture, Willow City!

Formless Peak's Peak Master asked, "Old Ancestor, could it be that the Heavenly Net Palace took action? Three thousand years ago, the Heavenly Net Palace destroyed the Fuyao Dynasty, but there were reports that the elite of the Fuyao Dynasty escaped that calamity!"

Ethereal Peak's Peak Master furrowed their brows slightly, a worried look on their face, "Ji Fuyao this child, ran off so far all at once. Could it be that remnants of the Fuyao Dynasty from back then are in Azure Prefecture?"

Sect Leader's expression was somewhat panicked, silently thinking, "Ji Fuyao must not encounter any trouble!"

Everyone let out a slight sigh.

Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen.

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor's face was ice-cold, killing intent that could not be restrained flared in his eyes, "No matter who dares to target my Great Dao Sect's disciples, I will surely kill them!"

This time, Cang Xuan Old Ancestor has prepared to unleash a great slaughter!

Whoever dares to move against Ji Fuyao is courting death!

Not long after.

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor and the others finally arrived at Azure Prefecture, Willow City.

Void Rending!

Space twisted!

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor and several Peak Masters walked out from the void rift.

Willow City had become a ruin!

Blood flowed like rivers here, evidently having just experienced a massacre!

Upon seeing this scene, Cang Xuan Old Ancestor's expression turned extremely grim!

At this moment, Ethereal Peak's Peak Master pointed to a huge token broken in half amidst the ruins, "Old Ancestor, that is the Heavenly Net Palace's token!"

Everyone immediately looked over.

They saw a huge ancient token, broken in half, one half bearing the character 'Heaven', the other half 'Net', half-hidden in the ruins.

Everyone furrowed their brows; what they had feared had indeed come to pass.

Surely, the Heavenly Net Palace had taken action!

The Heavenly Net Palace, as a newly risen hegemon-level power in Nan Huang, rules with an iron fist, often obliterating a faction at the slightest disagreement.

Over these thousands of years, the Heavenly Net Palace has continually risen, destroying many forces in the three thousand prefectures of Nan Huang.

The Fuyao Dynasty is merely one of them!

Thinking of this, everyone anxiously asked, "Old Ancestor, can we use a secret technique to probe Ji Fuyao's aura?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan Old Ancestor flicked his sleeve, his hand seal shifting, he sacrificed his Imperial Weapon; an incomparably profound qi mechanism circulated, covering Willow City above, endless brilliant Dao patterns began to spread outward, appearing extremely obscure and mysterious.

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor's Imperial Weapon can constantly change its form; now it has taken the shape of a heavenly disk, continually rising and falling above Willow City, as Cang Xuan Old Ancestor's divine sense continually drops down divine radiance, beginning to scrutinize the hidden secrets and mysteries of the battle here.

The Sect Leader and many Peak Masters watched this scene with utmost solemnity.

This is Cang Xuan Old Ancestor's Imperial Weapon!

It condenses the power of the Heavenly Dao, intertwining 'Dao' and 'Resonance', and with Cang Xuan Old Ancestor's long-term tempering of this Imperial Weapon using the power of the Great Dao Classic, just how mighty this Imperial Weapon now is, even the Sect Leader and others dare not guess.

After all, these years the Great Dao Sect has had no major conflicts with the other powers of Nan Huang, and Cang Xuan Old Ancestor has not taken action for nearly a thousand years!

Not long after.

Cang Xuan Old Ancestor put away his Imperial Weapon and slowly spoke.

"If I am not mistaken, an Emperor-level battle took place here! There were three Emperors in total!"

"Two of the Emperors bore the aura of the Heavenly Net Palace, matching that of the Heavenly Net Palace's token; they must be Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace! The other Emperor I cannot see through, its aura clashing with that of the Heavenly Net Palace! Only a wisp of ethereal, illusory Dao Resonance remains here; that method of attack resembles a heavenly Dao killing intent—formless, traceless, utterly terrifying!"

The Sect Leader and others were somewhat shocked, "Old Ancestor, if that Emperor is not from the Heavenly Net Palace, could it be the Protector of the Dao behind Ji Fuyao?"

They have always suspected that someone is behind Ji Fuyao!

But Cangxuan Old Ancestor ordered that it not be investigated, so nobody dared to look into it.

After all, judging from past signs, the person behind Ji Fuyao and the Great Dao Sect harbor no ill will toward each other!

At this moment, Cangxuan Old Ancestor said, "That Great Emperor, I cannot see through him! But I sensed Ji Fuyao's aura—she is injured!"

"What?"

The Sect Leader and others immediately changed color, "Ji Fuyao is injured?"

Cangxuan Old Ancestor lightly gestured, and a thread of aura was caught in his hand, formless and traceless; he used a supreme secret technique to deduce this thread of aura, and soon discovered a clue.

The Sect Leader and others exclaimed in shock, "This is the aura of burning souls!"

Cangxuan Old Ancestor nodded, his face icy cold, "The Heavenly Net Palace actually forced Ji Fuyao to burn her soul; this cannot be left unsettled!"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader asked, "Old Ancestor, is Ji Fuyao safe now?"

Cangxuan Old Ancestor slightly furrowed his brows, "For now, we still do not know."

Everyone looked worried.

Just then.

"Boom!"

Void Rending!

Space twisted!

A terrifying aura surged forth above the Void, like mountains and seas overturning, sweeping outward; in the next instant, six Great Emperors stepped out from the void rift.

They were exactly the six from the branch palace of the Heavenly Net Palace where the Remnant Sun Great Emperor resides!

The Remnant Sun Great Emperor wore a sinister gaze, his divine sense sweeping the surroundings, and soon he saw Cangxuan Old Ancestor and the others, as well as the ruins of Willow City.

This place has become a dead city!

Willow City's mountains collapsed, the land sank, dark energies surged, corpses and bones littered the ground, and the Heavenly Net Palace's token lay broken, plunged into the blood‑stained earth.

Seeing this, the Remnant Sun Great Emperor's killing intent intensified; he glared furiously at Cangxuan Old Ancestor and the others, "It was you who killed my Heavenly Net Palace's people and rescued Ji Fuyao, the Empress?"
