Chapter 863

Although this strike, the Frightening Gaze Tribulation, was truly delivered at random, he had not intended to harm the Great Tang Empress.

But how could the Great Tang Empress alone receive the Frightening Gaze Tribulation?

Therefore, although Guichen was anxious, Di Shitian remained perfectly composed.

Guichen glanced toward Wu Zhao's direction, then sidled up close to Di Shitian and said softly,

"According to someone's information, this Great Tang Empress is not the real Empress."

"What?"

Di Shitian was quite startled upon hearing this, but immediately regained his composure.

His surprise was because someone actually dared to impersonate the Great Tang Empress and enter the Azure Dragon Summit.

Was she not afraid that she could enter but not leave?

665 I really am not that kind of person!

"What's the situation? Tell me in detail."

Then Di Shitian again paid it no mind—experts at the Azure Dragon Summit were as numerous as clouds.

Just experts at the Heavenly Dao Golden List level alone were countless.

Add to that the Second Dragon Head, Fourth Dragon Head, Sixth Dragon Head, Seventh Dragon Head, as well as Wu Wudi, Di Shitian, Xiao Aoshi, Xiao Jingtian, Water God Ancestor, and many other guest ministers.

One could say that no matter who in the Nine Provinces dared to act wantonly at the Azure Dragon Summit, they would likely come but be unable to leave.

Therefore Di Shitian settled in comfortably, wanting to see exactly what had happened.

"It's like this, Mr. Xu.

I went to welcome the Great Tang arrivals, didn't I? But when I got there, I discovered chaotic currents of heaven and earth essence at that spot—clearly someone had fought there.

After the Great Tang Empress and her maids entered the Azure Dragon Summit, I sent out my subordinates to search that grassland.

Hey, I finally found a few clues."

Guichen's way of speaking did have a bit of a storyteller's flair.

But Di Shitian had lived too long—what had he not seen?

Moreover, his cultivation was profound and his status not low, so naturally his curiosity was not piqued by Guichen.

Guichen did not keep him in suspense either. Seeing that Di Shitian did not ask, he continued,

"On that wasteland, I found the Sun Moon Holy Cult's Cult Leader Dongfang Bubai."

"Dongfang Bubai? Why was she there?"

Di Shitian finally spoke to ask.

He had originally assumed that, given this Great Tang Empress's strength, anyone who fought her would at least be at the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Yet Dongfang Bubai was only at the Earthly Immortal Realm.

With such strength, this Great Tang Empress could probably deal with her in the blink of an eye.

As for Di Shitian's second point of curiosity—Dongfang Bubai, that is, Dongfang Bai, had already made the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List.

Given May Li Canghai's personality, this Dongfang Bai was either brought to the Azure Dragon Summit by her or was on her way there.

Why then was she alone?

"I was also curious. Seeing her gravely wounded, with a strand of Ultimate Yin power within her body…"

Guichen began prattling on again.

"Ultimate Yin power?"

Di Shitian finally showed a slight change in expression.

In fact, Ultimate Yin power is also a type of martial Dao's Ultimate power.

Similar to the Yin-Yang power cultivated by Zhang Sanfeng, or the Carefree power cultivated by Senior Xiaoyaozi.

Being able to perfectly cultivate one strand of Ultimate power is one of the keys to breaking through to the Shattered Realm.

Dongfang Bai, an ordinary Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator, how could she have provoked such an expert?

"Exactly!"

Guichen was rather pleased with himself. No matter how wise and learned Mr. Xu was, wasn't he still surprised? He continued,

"I know our Great Dragon Head's… heh…"

"…"

Di Shitian looked at Guichen's smile and could not help feeling speechless.

But he also felt Guichen's luck was truly excellent.

He had merely gone out to receive a guest, yet managed to find a beauty from the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List.

Everyone in the Qinglong Society, high and low, knew that beauties could earn points with the Great Dragon Head.

Good heavens!

If Ximen Wudi were here and knew that Di Shitian and Guichen thought this way, he would probably also be speechless, and then say:

I really am not that kind of person!

"So I took Dongfang Bai and returned to the Azure Dragon Summit, summoning a famous physician to treat her."

Guichen was rather proud of himself, after all the beauties on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List had almost all been claimed by May Li Canghai.

To happen upon one himself was truly the luck of dog droppings.

"I didn't expect that once she woke and confirmed she was at the Qinglong Society, she was immediately overjoyed, and told me what had happened on that wasteland."

What followed was naturally Dongfang Bai's account of how she had mistakenly wandered into the wasteland.

Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were ambushed, and then Wanyan took away the Great Tang national treasure—the Gold-Inlaid Beast Head Agate Cup.

Using Wu Zetian's fresh blood, she activated the Great Tang dragon qi.

And then, high in the sky, a Changancheng appeared.

Then, from within Changancheng, another figure stepped out—the Great Tang's Empress Wu Zhao!

Wu Zhao's strength was extraordinary; with a casual wave, Liu Bowen rippled outward.

Even the Great Tang's nation-protecting Patron Sun En was no match for Wu Zhao.

After a few exchanges, he was taken in by Wu Zhao as her subordinate.

All of this, Dongfang Bai had deliberately pretended to be unconscious to secretly observe.

"So it seems the Great Tang's Empress from another world has come over."

Seeing Di Shitian listened quietly as Guichen finished speaking, then drew a conclusion.

"I analyzed it as well, and it's the same."

Guichen nodded at once.

It seemed the people within the Qinglong Society knew quite a bit about the Nine Provinces and the worlds beyond.

"It's just that I truly don't understand why this Great Tang's Empress would cast Wu Zetian into that world.

And then deliberately take Wu Zetian's identity and come to our Qinglong Peak?"

"Every world has its Heaven-appointed one."

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside the two of them.

The two looked and saw it was none other than the Sixth Dragon Head Zhang Daoling—the words just spoken were his.

"Greetings, Sixth Dragon Head! You've come out of seclusion?"

Seeing Di Shitian and Guichen hurriedly paid their respects.

It turned out Zhang Daoling had gone to the War God Palace, and after coming out had been in closed-door cultivation until now.

Zhang Daoling waved his hand, signaling the two to stand on ceremony no further, then continued,

"In the words of the Great Dragon Head, this Heaven-appointed one is the protagonist.

These protagonists are not only favored by fortune, but often their opportunities, strength, and so on surpass ordinary people.

Yet fortune is what raises them up, and fortune is what brings them down.

If that world were as vast as the Nine Provinces, it might still be manageable.

If it's too narrow, it would instead constrain some people.

Therefore, Heaven-appointed ones who reach a certain realm will strive to break through the world's barriers and leave their original world.

This—is Shattering the Void!"

"So that's how it is."

Seeing Di Shitian had actually heard of Shattering the Void before, but the Nine Provinces were immensely vast, and the world's tier was not low.

Despite Seeing Di Shitian's abilities and all these years of cultivation, he still hadn't even touched the threshold of Shattering the Void.
