Chapter 1267

Ancestor Hongjun walked in.

At this moment, his eyes revealed a burning-hot look.

"Your Majesty, these are the resources you need. Please have a look!"

The moment he entered, Ancestor Hongjun handed a ring over to the other party.

Inside was half of the other's family fortune.

"You may step down first.

These pills, take them yourself!"

"Bang!"

The moment Ximen Wudi's voice fell—

Ancestor Hongjun felt his head about to explode.

Then his figure vanished from the spot.

And in his sea of consciousness—

At this moment, Princess Hongling had just swallowed those spiritual liquids, and her whole person was full of vigor.

"Boom—!"

Just as she was about to inspect the state within her body—

A rumble sounded from the sky.

She looked up and found the heavens covered in dark clouds.

Moreover, a terrifying pressure descended, shrouding her.

In an instant, she could not help but be startled.

Because this feeling was unmistakably the omen of breaking through to the ninth layer of Saint.

Yet after a brief panic, she could not help but reveal a look of joy.

Because once she broke through, her strength would surely increase tremendously.

Not only could she gain a firm foothold in the Great Zhou, she could even stand alone against a side.

Thinking of this, how could she dare delay?

In an instant, she closed her eyes and began to circulate the mana within her body to冲击 the barrier.

"Roar—!"

And just as Princess Hongling had just broken through—

A roar of bellowing sounded.

Then, countless flood serpents appeared all around the palace.

As their bodies swayed, they sent forth vast waves of water.

Causing the entire palace to ripple amidst endless billows.

"Howl—!"

Then another furious roar rang out.

It was a Kun Peng that dove down like a bolt.

As its wings beat, they stirred up boundless gales.

Causing Princess Hongling's cheeks to become incomparably fierce.

Yet the light in her eyes grew ever more dazzling.

"Bang!"

Finally, accompanied by a crisp sound—

Under the impact of that surging mana, her cultivation bottleneck was directly shattered.

She successfully stepped into the Saint realm.

"Haha, this princess has finally broken through!

Whoever bullies me, I'll smash them to death with the spiritual liquid big brother gave me!"

Princess Hongling shouted joyfully.

A look of delight shone in her eyes.

"Sister, you are now at the second layer of Saint cultivation. In this Primordial realm, you can already be counted among the top experts.

As long as you don't run into beings at the seventh or eighth layer of Saint, there's no need for Gu Ji at all.

But never look down on those old-established powerhouses.

After all, every being who has lived until now is extremely terrifying.

Apart from Father Pangu and Mother, everyone else has slain experts at the Quasi-Saint level.

So do not let your guard down!"

Hearing Princess Hongling's voice, Ximen Wudi admonished once more.

"Big brother, don't worry. With me here, who would dare bully your sister!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's voice, Princess Hongling spoke up.

Then she transformed into a streak of flowing light and vanished from the spot.

And seeing this scene, the corner of Ximen Wudi's mouth curved into a smile.

Meanwhile, in another remote palace—

Pangu and Ancestor Hongjun were leaning against each other on a cattail hassock.

"Your Majesty, may I ask, do you have any plans!"

Hearing the voice, Ancestor Hongjun spoke up somewhat nervously.

A being at the ninth level of Sainthood.

After all, Ximen Wudi had only broken through to the fifth level of Quasi-Sainthood a few days ago, and the current opponents were all incomparably powerful.

Even he himself, when facing a being at the seventh level of Sainthood, had not the slightest confidence.

"Hehe, Hongjun, you need not worry.

Although our strength is weak, I have my own trump cards, enough to ensure my own safety!

You need only lead the disciples in their cultivation.

As for those enemies, leave them to me.

When they come, the Zhen Society will make them regret setting foot in this star domain!"

Ximen Wudi's voice spoke lightly.

It made a look of excitement appear in Hongjun's eyes.

Although he did not understand how Ximen Wudi could withstand a being at the ninth level of Sainthood,

since the other party had spoken, they would absolutely not go back on their word.

And while the two were conversing—

from the spatial rift beside Ximen Wudi—

two figures suddenly appeared in the field.

They wore black armor, and their bodies radiated a dense aura of slaughter.

"Greetings, Your Majesty! The two of us brothers were ordered to pursue that bandit and have come specially to report!"

Upon just arriving in the field, the two spoke respectfully.

"You two are quite fast!"

Hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi said with a smile.

Originally, these two had been subordinates of Lord Donghuang Taiyi.

Although their strength was nothing remarkable,

they had the advantage of being sharp-witted, and under Lord Donghuang's training, they could barely be considered passable.

"Many thanks for Your Majesty's praise. Your subordinate is ashamed—we failed to carry out the matter entrusted by His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's voice, one of them spoke, a hint of awkwardness showing in his eyes.

The other, however, was even more direct.

He spoke to Hongjun.

"I don't blame you—after all, the opponent was simply too powerful!
