Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

Zui Zhou is a land where even the sky is desolate.

The sky drifts with lingering unwillingness and resentment that cannot dissipate.

They have never done anything to betray Shang Jie, yet now they are branded as sinners by Shang Jie; they have been imprisoned here all along, with not a shred of dignity to speak of.

"Who are you?"

The people of Zui Zhou are extremely vigilant toward outsiders, fearing they have come to strike at Zui Zhou.

Before the Three Thousand Provinces' Tian Jiao that preceded the opening of the Xian Gu Mi Jing, Zui Zhou originally had its own candidates, but the other provinces would not allow Zui Zhou's people to act; they rushed in, defeated all of Zui Zhou's geniuses, and seized their quotas.

Now, Zui Zhou's geniuses are basically crippled; they can only cultivate anew, and Zui Zhou has been unable to hold its head high ever since.

Even if a Heaven's Pride appears, they will likely be erased or crippled.

"I am Shi Hao from Xia Jie; I have come today to seek the truth of those years and clear the Seven Kings' names."

After Boy finished speaking, the "Sin" character atop his head unexpectedly drifted throughout all of Zui Zhou.

This astonished the people of Zui Zhou.

"This is the King's bloodline! You actually possess the King's bloodline."

These people stared at the auspicious clouds above Boy's head, their hearts trembling; Boy, upon hearing this, did not quite understand.

"What are you saying?"

The people of Zui Zhou were greatly excited, eager to tell Boy.

"After so many years, the King's bloodline has already grown thin, yet we never expected to meet it again today."

They pointed at the "Sin" character above Boy's head.

"This is our shame; anyone from Zui Zhou is branded with the Sin character, as punishment for us."

Their eyes were full of unwillingness and humiliation, yet also filled with helplessness toward the status quo.

"The more brilliantly the Sin character shines, the more it proves the purity of the Bian Huang Seven Kings' bloodline within the body; Shang Jie uses this to strike at Zui Zhou, so all of Zui Zhou's geniuses perish young, not a single one survives."

"The Sin character above your head is a spectacle we have never seen before, proving your bloodline is sufficiently pure and powerful."

Boy was very surprised upon hearing this, and expressed anger at Zui Zhou's experiences.

"How dare the people of Shang Jie!"

Jiang Xuan, however, reminded Boy.

"Given the opportunities you obtained in the Xian Gu Mi Jing, Zui Zhou will be targeted next; you must find a way to respond."

Hearing Jiang Xuan say Boy had actually participated in the Xian Gu Mi Jing, they were very astonished.

"How did you enter the Xian Gu Mi Jing?"

"How was your ranking? Even without a ranking it doesn't matter; did you have any opportunities? You must protect them well."

After hearing this, these people concluded Boy was certainly a gifted person; they did not want him to perish young and wanted to protect him.

Seeing their state, Boy's heart ached.

"Why let him stay here; let him come in first, best to find a way to let him leave Zui Zhou and grow slowly."

The Zui Zhou clan chief revealed himself; he stared at Boy and deposited a segment of memory into his mind.

"This is Zui Zhou's truth; you must understand, Shang Jie is a man-eating place, no one cares about the truth of those years, who exactly is the sinner requires more evidence to prove, and this needs someone to do."

Boy watched the Bian Huang Seven Kings' battle, watched the Seven Kings' closest friend be assimilated by dark matter, and finally had no choice but to kill him; the grief within moved the heart, yet it was precisely this that gave someone the chance to splash dirty water on them.

"I will change all of this."

The Zui Zhou clan chief nodded.

"You are our hope; leave this place quickly; the Sin character scenery has been triggered, people will certainly come next; we will stall for time for you."

Boy shook his head.

"I will not leave; these people must all pay the price; from now on, we will not flee! The ones who should be afraid will be them."

The people of Zui Zhou had not been this unyielding for a very long time; it was not that they did not want to be, but they understood that with their current strength, even if they were unyielding, the final result was already clear.

They would inevitably be suppressed again by Shang Jie, even suffering heavy casualties.

"But with our current strength, we simply cannot confront them; Xian Dian sending out any Tian Shen can suppress Zui Zhou."

Speaking, they looked toward Jiang Xuan and the people behind him.

These people's realms all start at Tian Shen.

"Who are these people?"

They looked at Boy with some bewilderment.

Jiang Xuan stepped forward at this moment.

"He is my disciple; we already know of Zui Zhou's matters; next, Zui Zhou will confront Shang Jie; do you want to continue kneeling, or rise up and resist?"

One sentence completely ignited Zui Zhou's blood and spirit.

They themselves were not kneeling; they had merely endured in silence for so many years; they had never forgotten the Bian Huang Seven Kings' Honor.

They corrected Jiang Xuan's words. "You are slighting us!"

Jiang Xuan, however, told them.

"The current situation is that no matter what you decide, Shang Jie will not let Zui Zhou off; he took first place in the Xian Gu Mi Jing and possesses the Immortal King Scripture; do you think Shang Jie will let him go?"

The people of Zui Zhou were utterly astonished; in this era, geniuses from their ranks who could enter the Immortal Valley Secret Realm were exceedingly few.

They fundamentally did not expect them to achieve any great accomplishment.

And now they were actually being told that Boy had not only entered the Immortal Valley Secret Realm, but had also taken first place — this was simply an immense honor.

The people of Sin State looked at Boy as if seeing their hope. As this feeling grew ever stronger, the Sin State Clan Chief stepped forward.

He had been tormented for many years; though he was once at the Tian Shen Realm, his foundation was now damaged, leaving him stuck at the True Immortal Realm.

But the moment his aura was released, his figure still seemed incomparably towering.

"Never expected that our Sin State would actually produce a genius! Ha ha ha, Heaven does not destroy me!"

"Rest assured, even if I have to stake this old life, I will not let them touch a single hair on your head."

Jiang Xuan, however, told him without the slightest politeness.

"With Sin State's strength, you cannot resist; therefore, we need to cooperate. Are you willing?"

The Sin State Clan Chief looked at Jiang Xuan, feeling it very strange — Jiang Xuan was clearly at the Tian Shen Realm, yet he always gave people an indescribable feeling.

And everyone present was staring at Jiang Xuan, taking his lead in everything.

"What plan do you have?"

Jiang Xuan told Boy.

"You can take out the Myriad Things Soil; among these people, foundations are damaged, and the Myriad Things Soil can nourish their bodies, letting them regain vitality."

Unexpectedly taking out the Myriad Things Soil.

Seeing the Myriad Things Soil taken out, the people of Sin State were even more surprised — the Myriad Things Soil is far too precious, yet now Boy had easily produced it, making them feel it was unreal, and they were even more unwilling to accept it.

"My plan is to create a powerful backing for our disciples; if you want to restore the Seven Kings' honor, then do not mind these things — it is not given to you for free."

Although Jiang Xuan spoke with great indifference, the people of Sin State could accept it.

"To what extent do you intend to go?"

The people of Sin State wanted to clarify their ultimate goal.

Jiang Xuan looked at the Upper Realm.

"The Upper Realm is already ruined; rotten rule will make the Upper Realm weaker and weaker. The Dark Turmoil will not disappear — it will only grow stronger. Only by purging these obstacles can we possibly confront the Dark Turmoil."

The people of Sin State agreed very readily.

"Since it is so, then it is settled. What method do you have to raise our strength?"

The Hongmeng Dao Tree in Jiang Xuan's hand surged into view.

After the radiance shone, the people of Sin State widened their eyes, feeling this beam of light was inconceivable.

"You can enter and inspect with your divine sense; then you will know how to raise your strength."

After the people of Sin State entered with their divine sense, their bodies all trembled — this was a treasury the likes of which they had never seen, containing countless cultivation techniques and divine abilities.

"This is only a part of it; additionally, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will help you repair your ruined bodies and allow you to break through faster."

Jiang Xuan took out Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as if they cost nothing, piling them over the entire grounds.

"Not only these; next, I will settle accounts with the Upper Realm's sects — their resources plus these techniques and divine abilities, and it will not be difficult for Sin State to turn the tables."

"Good!"

The people of Sin State agreed in one breath.

"These people are the original inhabitants of the Xian Gu Secret Realm, existences from the Xian Gu era; bringing them now expands our power."

Jiang Xuan introduced them, and the people of Sin State did not mind.

"Every force that can be united is our friend. Welcome to Sin State; from now on we have a common enemy."

The Eight-Armed Soul Clan and the others, upon hearing this, all prepared to station themselves here and cultivate.

Jiang Xuan planted the Hongmeng Dao Tree, a vast net outlined, stretching from the Upper Realm to the Lower Realm.

Karmic Power dispersed, opening the Void.

The people of Lei Zhou sensed it and looked up at the vortex above their heads, yet heard Jiang Xuan's voice appear.

"This transmission can be opened when you are in danger."

Hearing this, the people of Lei Zhou understood perfectly — they had already heard of the matter of the Xian Gu Secret Realm; the matter of Huang entering the Xian Gu Secret Realm from Lei Zhou was no secret, and they would certainly be threatened.

But they had already decided to flatly deny it; as long as the Hongmeng Dao Tree was not discovered, they would have no trouble.

In the Lower Realm, Huo Ling'er, who was thinking of ways to enter the Upper Realm, suddenly sensed the Karmic Power opening.

"Is it Master's power?"

She was somewhat surprised, and came to the Fire Clan Ancestral Land.

Jiang Xuan's projection walked out from the Hongmeng Dao Tree.

Huo Ling'er cried out in great excitement: "Master!"

Jiang Xuan revealed a smile.

"You have worked hard on this matter; after the Lower Realm's affairs are arranged, you can enter the Upper Realm through this passage."

"Before that, destroy all passages leading to the Lower Realm — do not give the Upper Realm any chance to take advantage."

Huo Ling'er nodded.

"Rest assured, Master; I will go handle it at once."

Huo Ling'er and the Fire Emperor moved into action.

Simultaneously, an unusual situation occurred with the Hongmeng Dao Tree in Stone Village.

"This is Boy's Master."

After sensing Jiang Xuan's aura, Shi Yunfeng summoned everyone in the village, and they came before the Hongmeng Dao Tree.

Jiang Xuan's shadow coalesced.

"Everyone, the Upper Realm has been arranged; you may enter the Upper Realm at any time, and campaign alongside Boy."

Xiao Hong had always wanted to enter the Upper Realm; now that permission was granted, it was already eager beyond waiting.

"The Hongmeng Dao Tree will open a spatial passage; following the guidance, you will step into the Upper Realm. I will wait for you here."

Shi Yunfeng instead clasped his fists toward Jiang Xuan.

"I'm not going. Shi Cun must always have someone to guard it. No matter how time flows, this place will always be your home. I'll wait here for your return."

After Shi Yunfeng finished speaking, everyone in the village decided not to go to the Upper Realm.

"We've also decided to stay. Someone still needs to guard this place, and besides, we're far too weak now. Entering the Upper Realm would just be a burden. Once we're stronger, we'll enter it again."

Bi Ti Wa made up his mind.

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, respecting their own choice.

"I need the divine herbs from the medicine garden now. Leave the root systems, and take everything else into the Upper Realm."

Shi Yunfeng and the others hesitated not at all, immediately taking action.

Boy popped out at this time to greet Shi Yunfeng and the others.

"Village Chief Grandpa, Crybaby, Xiao Hong, Da Hong……"

Seeing these familiar people, Boy's eye rims turned slightly red. These were the people he knew best, yet he hadn't seen them for a very long time.

"Boy!"

Seeing Boy, Shi Yunfeng was equally excited.

"Take good care of yourself. I'll wait for you in Shi Cun forever. Please also take care of him."

Shi Yunfeng had raised Boy from childhood and had long regarded him as his own grandson. Although Boy bore many responsibilities and needed to grow strong, Shi Yunfeng hoped Boy could live more easily.

However, he did not stop Boy; he would only be Boy's harbor.

Jiang Xuan nodded to reassure him, and Boy also promised Shi Yunfeng.

"Village Chief Grandpa, once I finish things, I'll return to Shi Cun and boast with you."

After hearing this, Bi Ti Wa and the others laughed heartily.

"Boy, we're all waiting for you to come back."

After Xiao Hong and the others were ready, they stepped into the Space Passage.

Just as the Space Passage was about to vanish, no one expected that a black-and-white shadow would suddenly appear in the distance and instantly dive into the Space Passage.

The people of Shi Cun clearly sensed that this person was extremely powerful, impossible to intercept, and they didn't know whether he was friend or foe.

"Why is there someone so powerful in the Lower Realm? I've never heard of it."

As Shi Yunfeng was surprised, the Undying Living Being had already entered the Upper Realm.

The Undying Living Being was Kun Peng's son, the child of Kun Peng.

Back then, after the Immortal Palace joined forces with Sword Valley to slay Kun Peng, they sensed the existence of Kun Peng's son and hunted him down, but they set their sights on the Yin-Yang Two Qi within him.

They acted to suppress him beneath Wu Xing Shan in the Lower Realm, continuously extracting the power from him. Kun Peng's son remained in a frenzied state, but no one expected that when Boy fought the Seven Gods back then, the attacks landed on Wu Xing Shan, inadvertently opening the Forbidden Restriction, giving Kun Peng's son a chance to leave the suppression of Wu Xing Shan.

For so many years he had been recovering his power, but his foundation was damaged, and now he was only at the True Immortal Realm.

He wanted to enter the Upper Realm to avenge his mother. Not only that, he also wanted to reveal the truth of those years to the world. All of this required his own strength.

Kun Peng's son wanted to find Boy, not just to thank him, but more to follow Jiang Xuan in cultivation and improve his own strength.

Kun Peng's son arrived before Xiao Hong and the others. Sensing a strange aura, Boy became vigilant.

Willow God and the others gathered here even more, wanting to see who had come.

Kun Peng's son entered the Upper Realm, and before he could even feel excited, he saw Jiang Xuan and the others blocking his path.

He suddenly became nervous.

"What do you want!" (Chapter End)
