Chapter 479

"Since His Majesty has such confidence, I shall return to Lishan and continue striving for His Majesty's Baye ambition."

As he spoke, Prince Zichu's figure slowly vanished.

With the Lishan plan and the Seven Stars of Dongfang Canglong in place.

Ying Zheng, who had previously felt utterly hopeless, regained a sliver of confidence.

"Zhao Gao."

"Your servant is here!"

"Immediately send messengers to Great Tang, Great Yuan, and Tianxia Hui."

"Your servant is dull-witted and does not know what Your Majesty wishes to learn."

The mind of a sovereign of a thousand ages is truly hard to fathom.

Upon hearing this task, Zhao Gao's mind raced, yet he still could not guess what Ying Zheng intended.

With no alternative, he could only ask.

"Go and find out what Great Tang and the others think of this matter concerning Ximen Wudi."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gao still did not understand, but the mission's objective was clear enough.

…

Great Tang, Great Ming Palace.

At this time, the "Tian Mo" Cang Qu had just returned from Great Ming.

He had successfully found Hai Laocang and obtained Lin Shiyin and the Chixin Bugai Pill.

He was preparing to report, when suddenly this sword from beyond the heavens appeared.

Seeing this sword, Cang Qu felt it was only natural.

Yet a chill rose from his heels.

He had previously faced off against Ximen Wudi's Dao-vein jade tablet and glimpsed a sliver of Ximen Wudi's strength.

But this sword surpassed even Cang Qu's imagination.

Using the secret method of the "Tian Mo Ce," he projected a fragment of his spirit into the attack of this sword.

He tried to simulate the full power of this sword's reach.

And discovered he would die ten times over—no chance of survival.

At this moment, his martial Dao conviction began to waver.

Is Ximen Wudi even human?

"Could the 'Tian Mo' Lord himself wield this sword of Ximen Wudi?"

At this moment, Wu Zetian, having finally grasped the gravity of the situation, asked this question.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Cang Qu stared blankly at Wu Zetian, then bowed in salute.

He dropped Lin Shiyin and the Chixin Bugai Pill and vanished instantly.

"The 'Tian Mo' Lord is far too arrogant! How dare he ignore His Majesty's question…"

One minister stepped forward to denounce Cang Qu.

But Wu Zetian's face turned ashen, and she snapped,

"Be silent…"

Wu Zetian knew full well what Cang Qu's reaction meant.

Even Cang Qu, a top-tier expert, surely among the top ten on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

If even he looks like this—what does it signify?

At this moment, Wu Zetian too fell into deep thought.

…

Along the eastern sea of Great Ming, a fishing village.

Xiao Sanshao had just negotiated a price with a fisherman to sail to You Dongying.

Then he saw this sword from beyond the heavens!

"My goodness, is the Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Chief even human?"

The fisherman, after witnessing the sword, nearly dropped his jaw.

With his third-rate martial skill, Ximen Wudi's sword appeared to him as if a mortal ant gazing upon a god.

"Hmm… maybe he really isn't human…"

Xiao Sanshao, upon hearing this, let out a bitter laugh.

As Xiao Sanshao, who possessed the Xuanwu Essence and had lived three thousand years, endowed with extraordinary talent.

He could not claim invincibility across the land.

But his experience surpassed countless others across the Nine Provinces.

Over three thousand years, countless brilliant talents had emerged.

Yet none had ever been like Ximen Wudi.

He left Xiao Sanshao utterly baffled, unable to comprehend or grasp him.

Ximen Wudi was the first in three thousand years to defeat Xiao Sanshao with a single strike.

But the most bizarre part was, before the Heavenly Dao Golden List appeared,

No force or expert across the Nine Provinces had ever heard the name Ximen Wudi.

The so-called Qinglong Society was only a recent emergence.

Doesn't this mean Ximen Wudi only took a few dozen years to cultivate to this generation?

Xiao Sanxiao really wanted to ask one more line,

"Great Dragon Head, are you even human?"

Of course, that was just a joke.

Xiao Sanxiao finished watching this sword strike and stopped overthinking.

What he wanted most right now was to go to Dongying and find those two good-for-nothing sons of his.

Clearly, what he himself cared about most was the Myriad Tribulation.

Clearly, he had also said back then that once he returned, he would perfect the Wu Gong and pass it on to them for cultivation.

But those two rotten brats just had to refuse to listen.

They practiced half-baked Wu Gong and already thought themselves invincible under heaven.

As if that weren't enough, they secretly prepared behind his back to oppose their own father!

Are they tired of living?

Ever since leaving Qinglong Summit, Xiao Sanxiao had been thinking about how to teach those two unfilial, rebellious sons a lesson.

Seeing Ximen Wudi's sword strike now, he was enlightened!

"Didn't the Great Dragon Head say it himself? A disobedient brat just needs a good beating."

"Although Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi have lived a long time, in their old man's eyes, they're still children."

"Now I'll head out to sea to Dongying and properly discipline these two brats."

Thinking of this, the matter that had been weighing on Xiao Sanxiao's mind for so long was finally sorted out,

He jumped onto the small boat and waved his big hand,

"Boatman, set off!"

"Qinglong Society? Great Dragon Head, Ximen Wudi…"

Great Song, beneath the waters of Xihu.

The Undying God of Longevity had glimpsed this sword strike and was left speechless for a long time.

Before this sword strike, the Undying God of Longevity had always believed

that in the world, among the Nine Provinces' Wu Lin, his only opponent was the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

Kill the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, and he would be the sole true god of the world!

Then find the descendants of the Bu Clan Divine Race and switch to a new body.

He could once again emerge into the world!
