A Formidable Foe, the Heavenly Emperor's Son! (4K)

Dozens of elegantly dressed, arrogant Xiuzhenzhe arrived at Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven.

The Daoist Robes worn by these people were shimmering with light, clearly indicating that they were top-grade magical Law Treasure.

Even the patriarchs of the major Holy Lands and Cultivation Aristocratic Clan were not taken seriously by this group of Xiuzhenzhe.

Because they are from Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court is the most powerful organization in the Immortal Realm, surpassing many Holy Lands, dynasties, and Sects.

The Heavenly Court is even older than all the major Holy Lands, dynasties, Sects.

Most of the Holy Lands, dynasties, Immortal Gate, and Aristocratic Clan were established after the Second High Antiquity War, while the Heavenly Court already existed during the First High Antiquity War.

In the High Antiquity Heavenly Court, all the Great Expert Human Race gathered together. During the First High Antiquity War, they suppressed the Demon Race, forcing a large number of Demon Race to leave Immortal Realm Demon-Suppressing Pass as the boundary, ending the conflict between the Human Race and Demon Races. As a result, the Human Race prospered.

In the Second High Antiquity War, the Heavenly Court and the Devil Master went to war. The Devil Master was furious and destroyed the High Antiquity Heavenly Court with a shocking punch. The Heavenly Court fell and formed the High Antiquity Heavenly Court Ruins.

In the end, the Devil Master was defeated and led 100,000 Demon Generals and hundreds of millions of Demon Soldiers to retreat into the Demonic Fall.

After the two High Antiquity Wars, some Great Expert Human Race rebuilt the Heavenly Court, while Human Race, such as the Taiyin Goddess and the Great Expert of the Taihua Goddess, chose to leave the Heavenly Court and establish Holy Lands, dynasties, or Sects.

Some Great Expert Human Race chose to live in seclusion, forming various Aristocratic Clan, or became Rogue Cultivators, such as True Lord Qingwei, the master of Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven.

This pattern has continued to this day.

Although the rebuilt Heavenly Court is not as powerful as the High Antiquity Heavenly Court because of the large number of Great Expert Human Race who remained Heavenly Court, it is still the most powerful force in the Immortal Realm.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Heavenly Court's people, the powerful figures from various Holy Lands, Aristocratic Clan, and dynasties rose to their feet in shock.

"Could that person be 'Ku,' the Peerless Genius who topped the previous First on the Qilin Ranking?"

"He was actually leading the team himself!"

"It seems the Heavenly Court also desires the treasures of True Lord Qingwei."

"With the Heavenly Court intervening, it will likely be difficult for us to seize the treasure."

Some of the powerful figures recognized the identity of the Heavenly Court's leader and were greatly alarmed.

Lu Changsheng looked at the leader of the Heavenly Court, who was a majestic man wearing top-grade golden armor. He looked down on everyone as if he were a king ruling the world, and he didn't even put the Immortal Dragon Emperor, the Five Kunlun Elders, and the Pill Saint Suxin in his eyes.

Behind the golden-armored man were two elderly men with long, white beards, wearing purple-gold robes with eight trigrams, their cultivation levels unfathomable.

The Heavenly Court sent thirty or forty people, all of whom were at least at the Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation.

"Ku?"

Lu Changsheng had long heard of this person's reputation. It was precisely because this person had cultivated for over 500,000 years and had withdrawn from the Qilin Ranking that Lu Changsheng was able to rank First on the Qilin Ranking.

This person's aura is extremely terrifying, far surpassing Feng Mu's.

The difference between Feng Mu and him was like the difference between heaven and earth.

A formidable rival, an absolute formidable rival!

Lu Changsheng suspected that this guy had already become Great Perfection Immortal Emperor.

After cultivating for over 500,000 years, he reached the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor realm; his talent was simply terrifying.

Feng Mu, the number one genius of the Ancient Wind Family, was utterly no match for him.

Dantai Meng, the daughter of the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable, is not as talented as this person.

Even Lu Changsheng is no match for him now.

Li Changye asked the Immortal Changliu, "Master, what is this person's background?"

The Immortal Changliu replied, "He is the Heavenly Emperor's Son."

"Hiss..."

Some Xiuzhenzhe were unaware of Ku's identity suddenly changed their expressions.

The Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the most powerful being in the Immortal Realm. He has survived two War of High Antiquity and remains indestructible throughout the ages!

The Heavenly Emperor's Son holds an incomparably high position, second only to the Emperor and above countless others!

Lu Changsheng's expression was serious.

No wonder this man named "Ku" has such abnormal aptitude.

The son of the Heavenly Emperor, the strongest being in the Immortal Realm, inherited his bloodline and possessed extremely high aptitude. With the Cultivation Resources provided by the Heavenly Court, his cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds.

Ku's life is like having a cheat code; he's definitely living the life of a protagonist.

"Ku, we meet again. This time I'd like to ask you for some advice."

Feng Mu once fought Ku but was defeated. Now, Feng Mu has reached the Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage and wants to challenge Ku again.

At that time, Ku was still a preliminary Immortal Emperor, which gave Feng Mu the illusion that he could spar with him.

Ku said coldly, "You're too weak."

Feng Mu's face turned ashen.

Not long ago, he was rejected by Lu Changsheng, and as a result, Ku also looked down on him.

Feng Mu really didn't dare to retaliate.

Ku is the Heavenly Emperor's Son. If Feng Mu angers the Heavenly Emperor, even the Ancient Wind Family cannot protect him.

The Heavenly Court's strength is a hundred times that of the Ancient Wind Family.

Ku and Lu Changsheng locked eyes.

Lu Changsheng had been openly observing the Heavenly Emperor's Son to see if there was anything special about him, which caught Ku's attention.

A servant at the Immortal Emperor Realm transmitted a message to Ku: "Master, this person is currently the top-ranked member of the Qilin Ranking."

Ku sized up Lu Changsheng; Lu Changsheng gave him a somewhat strange feeling.

He could tell that Lu Changsheng's true cultivation level was around the third or Immortal Emperor Fourth Stage Immortal Emperor Third Stage, but his aura was somewhat unstable.

"He's merely a beginner Immortal Emperor; he's nothing to worry about."

Ku's gaze lingered on Lu Changsheng for only a few seconds before he looked away.

His talent was exceptional, far surpassing that of other Peerless Genius of his time.

In his eyes, Lu Changsheng was only one level stronger than Feng Mu, while he was several levels below Feng Mu.

The Heavenly Court delegation did not linger. One of the Heavenly Court experts took out a golden compass, calculated the entrance to the Peerless Grand Formation, and said to Ku, "Your Highness, please follow me."

This powerful figure from the Heavenly Court activated the Golden Compass, which shone brightly, enveloping the group of Heavenly Court members and transforming them into a beam of golden light as they entered one of the entrances.

"Ancestor, the Heavenly Court came prepared. They definitely know how to break this formation. The entrance they chose is definitely the path to survival. We just need to follow them to obtain the treasure."

Feng Chen of the Ancient Wind Family summoned his Flying Sword, intending to follow the people from the Heavenly Court inside.

"Idiot!"

The patriarch of the Feng family stopped Feng Chen.

"But Ancestor..."

Feng Chen didn't understand what was wrong with his thinking.

Immortal Changliu said from the side, "Your logic is naturally correct. The fact that the people from the Heavenly Court dared to enter the Peerless Grand Formation set up by True Lord Qingwei without lingering shows that they came prepared. But your later judgment is wrong. True Lord Qingwei had already considered this situation when setting up the formation. The eighty-one entrances of this formation are constantly changing. Even if you follow them in, you will actually be leading to different places."

"I see, I was so ignorant."

Feng Chen broke out in a cold sweat.

The Mountain-Guarding Formation of True Lord Qingwei was unpredictable, and Feng Chen almost stumbled into a dead end.

The Immortal Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, "Since the Heavenly Court has already found the correct entrance, if we continue to hesitate here, the treasure will be taken by Heavenly Court. We might as well gamble on our Fortune."

The Immortal Dragon Emperor summoned a long spear, which emitted a black light that enveloped Immortal Dragon Emperor and his Imperial Guards. They found the nearest entrance and stormed straight in.

The Immortal Dragon Emperor is a ruthless man; he's willing to gamble on even a one in eighty-one chance.

"We cultivate immortality to defy fate and change our destiny. What's wrong with taking a risk?"

Following the Immortal Dragon Emperor, the Primordial Beginning Sacred Land also randomly entered an entrance.

Everyone realized that the people from Heavenly Court had found the correct passage, and if they did not act quickly, all the treasures of Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven would be taken away by the people from Heavenly Court.

As a result, teams from Holy Lands and Aristocratic Clan ventured into the Peerless Grand Formation.

They were all betting on a one in eighty-one chance.

Of course, these powerful individuals who dared to randomly enter the formation all possessed certain means of survival.

Some Xiuzhenzhe with weaker strength and no Dao Artifact artifacts hesitated repeatedly, still not daring to easily enter the Peerless Grand Formation set up by True Lord Qingwei.

Firstly, they lacked confidence in escaping from this dead end. Secondly, the Heavenly Court and various Holy Lands were all sending people to compete for True Lord Qingwei's treasures, so even if they found a way out, they might not be able to get there first.

"Xue'er, let's go inside."

Li Heng, the Moon Palace Master, brought the Dao Artifacts of the Moon Palace, confident that she could survive under the Peerless Grand Formation of True Lord Qingwei.

If True Lord Qingwei were still alive and personally activated this Peerless Grand Formation, then everyone would probably be doomed. But this Peerless Grand Formation is ultimately an unowned formation.

Li Heng summoned a palace-like Law Treasure, which took in everyone from the Moon Palace. Then, she transformed into a stream of light and randomly entered an entrance.

Liu Mufeng asked Lin Xuantong, "Xuantong, what do you think?"

Lin Xuantong smiled helplessly, "Since we're already here, how can we not give it a try?"

The two groups, Taihua Sacred Ground and Yaochi Holy Land, each found an entrance and went in.

A white light flashed before their eyes as the group from the Taihua Sacred Ground entered the great formation.

Within the grand formation, endless mountains and forests still stretched out, the World Power suppressing everyone's cultivation and Divine Abilities.

"Um?"

Lu Changsheng discovered that the people from the Yaochi Holy Land were also here.

Lin Xuantong and Liu Mufeng stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"The Qimen Dunjia formation of True Lord Qingwei is truly wondrous. We clearly entered from different entrances, yet we're still on the same path."

Lin Xuantong couldn't help but admire the power of True Lord Qingwei.

This Peerless Grand Formation is so powerful that even God King Realm powerhouse cannot break it; they can only proceed step by step.

Liu Mufeng was relaxed. "In that case, if our two groups work together, we'll be more confident in overcoming any danger we encounter."

"Fine, if we find the treasure, we'll split it equally."

"Good."

Taihua Mountain and Yaochi had a good relationship and quickly reached an agreement.

Taihua Mountain, Yaochi, and others summoned their Flying Swords and flew towards the depths of Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven, hoping to reach the treasure as soon as possible.

Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven is a world unto itself, vast and boundless. Since everyone's cultivation level is suppressed by the World Power, even if they fly on swords, it will take a long time to reach the depths of Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven.

Of course, for Immortal Emperors whose lifespans are often millions of years, this amount of time is still acceptable.

Lu Changsheng did not see Xia Ningxue, so the Moon Palace's group must have entered another passage.

Lu Changsheng's judgment was correct. The group from the Moon Palace rode their Flying Swords, soaring over an ancient forest as they traveled quickly.

"Those are people from Heavenly Court ahead. Looks like we've found the right path."

Li Heng led the group from the Moon Palace rapidly into the depths of Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven, where they discovered that ahead of them was Heavenly Court Team led by Ku.

The group from the Moon Palace were invigorated.

The fact that the Heavenly Emperor's Son personally led the team indicates that they were well-prepared and would be able to find a way out immediately.

Since the people of the Moon Palace saw the people of Heavenly Court here, it means they made the right bet.

A hint of worry lingered in Xia Ningxue's delicate features.

Her team from the Moon Palace found a way out, but they didn't see Lu Changsheng, which meant that Lu Changsheng's team from the Taihua had gone the wrong way.

What if Lu Changsheng encounters danger...?

"Xue'er, you don't need to worry. Your husband is a Child of Destiny; he won't be so easily harmed."

Li Heng noticed her Disciple's worries, so she comforted Xia Ningxue while they continued on their journey.

"Um."

Xia Ningxue nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

"Your Highness, the people from the Moon Palace are catching up."

"They were really lucky; they had a one in eighty-one chance."

Ku's Divine Sense scanned the area behind him, lingering on Xia Ningxue for a few seconds.

Ku was taken aback for a moment.

Xia Ningxue possessed unparalleled beauty, stunningly Celestial Person, and also had the icy aura of Divine Maiden.

However, Ku was only stunned for a moment before he firmly resolved to uphold his Dao: "I am the Heavenly Emperor's Son, and I am destined to rule the Immortal Realm in the future. I cannot be swayed by the beauty of a woman."

"Your Highness, the people from Guanghan have been following us. What should we do?"

Even God King Realm powerhouse must consult with Ku.

"If they like to follow, then let them follow. All the major Holy Lands think our Heavenly Court is too powerful, and we can't give them any reason to criticize us. Once we find True Lord Qingwei's treasure, if they try to take it, then we'll deal with them."

"Yes."

The Heavenly Court group continued flying forward.

Unbeknownst to many, three hundred years have passed.

The Taihua Mountain team encountered many puppets and traps along the way, including a puppet at the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor realm.

However, these puppets were not as powerful as Lin Xuantong, the Household Ancestor Lin, and the Jiang Clan Ancestor. When the Jiang Clan Ancestor personally took action, the puppets at the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor realm were shattered to pieces.

Occasionally, Lin Xuantong would have Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, and Changsheng Sect's disciples deal with these puppets as a form of training.

"It seems we've taken the wrong path."

Lin Xuantong led his team on this journey for three hundred years and had already realized that it was a dead end.

"After we rest and recover our True Qi, we will return the way we came."

Lin Xuantong wasn't stubborn; once he realized he'd gone the wrong way, he immediately corrected his course.

Everyone quickly sat down to meditate and recover their True Qi.

Everyone was suppressed by the World Power the Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven, and even flying on swords required a lot of True Qi.

"I wonder how Xia Ningxue is doing."

Lu Changsheng couldn't replicate Xia Ningxue's life; his only worry was that something might happen to Xia Ningxue.

As everyone was meditating to recover their cultivation, suddenly, Devil Qi enveloped the Firmament ahead, and rolling Demonic Clouds were sweeping towards the Taihua Mountain and Yaochi teams.

Liu Yiyi stood up. "Is that Demonic Cloud a mechanism of Peerless Grand Formation?"

Liu Mufeng and Feng Qing'er, however, looked wary. "True Lord Qingwei never cultivates Devil Cultivation Method. Logically speaking, even if he sets up a grand formation, it shouldn't generate Devil Qi."

Lin Xuantong, the Household Ancestor Lin, and the Jiang Clan Ancestor all finished their meditation and were ready to make their move at any moment.

"Summon your Law Treasure and prepare for battle."

Lu Changsheng reminded his disciples.

He had a bad feeling.

The overwhelming Devil Qi ahead was unsettling.

The emergence of Qianyuan Grotto-Heaven may be a trap.
