The Opening Time of the Ancient Starry Road

"Do I know you? →_→" Zhou Tong glanced at the Big Black Dog.

"Damn it, kid, you think I don't know you've been using the name of the Wu Shi the Great to swindle and cheat people everywhere?" The Big Black Dog pounced on him, its blood-red mouth wide open, ready to bite.

"Bang!"

Zhou Tong kicked it, and the Big Black Dog stumbled and fell to the ground, but it wasn't hurt at all. It turned around and got up. This time it didn't dare to bite, but it still looked hostile.

"I didn't lie to you!" Zhou Tong glanced sideways at the Big Black Dog.

"Woof... What kind of look is that!" The Big Black Dog almost pounced on him, glaring fiercely at Zhou Tong.

"→_→ Watching the dog!" Zhou Tong said unhurriedly.

"Kid, I really want to bite you to death!! Where did you put the Primordial Sacred Body and the Innate Dao Embryo? Are you trying to steal the Wushi Scripture?!" The Big Black Dog gritted its teeth.

After the last incident, he searched for the Primordial Sacred Body and the Innate Dao Embryo for more than ten years, but all his efforts were in vain. He found nothing and wasted an unknown amount of time.

"They can go wherever they want, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Tong ignored it and turned to return to Jade Pool.

"Boom!"

Just as the Big Black Dog was about to speak, a wisp of saintly aura suddenly erupted from within the Jade Pool, and a roar was heard. Many people heard the voice of the Ancestor King.

"No, absolutely not! Why can't Saint Level figure intervene?"

"Why?!"

A sense of panic gripped many hearts; it was clear that the discussions among the sages within Jade Pool had reached a stalemate.

Upon hearing these roars, the Big Black Dog immediately glared at Zhou Tong, its expression becoming solemn and dignified, its entire body radiating light.

"I have a great matter to attend to. I will come to find you after I have finished it." With that, it spat out a radiant golden paper and unleashed the aura of Supreme Great Emperor.

This golden paper is solemn, grand, and sacred. The aura it exudes compels one to bow down. This terrifying power cannot be imitated; it must be an artifact of Ancient Great Emperor.

"What is this?" Fatty Duan asked in surprise.

"The Wu Shi the Great's Edict!" the Black Emperor solemnly declared.

"Boom!"

A terrifying wave emanated, surging like a vast ocean in an instant, sweeping across the Jade Pool. Several ancient characters shone through the divine paper, profound and difficult to decipher.

At the same time, auspicious rays descended from the heavens, and precious lotuses bloomed on the earth. Various kinds of radiant light rose up, creating a sacred scene that engulfed the Big Black Dog in the center.

The imperial edict bore four characters that were awe-inspiring, written with powerful strokes that made it hard to breathe. Only Saint Level Ancestor King would feel fear and break out in a cold sweat at this kind of spiritual pressure.

Ordinary people are not qualified and find it difficult to trigger that kind of mental pressure; the stronger the person, the more terrified they are.

"What? The decree of the Ancient Great Emperor has arrived?"

Inside Jade Pool, many Saint-level Ancestor King stood up, looking out at Jade Pool in shock.

"Is this truly the decree of the Ancient Great Emperor?" an ancient king asked in a trembling voice.

"Indeed!" the Big Black Dog said proudly.

"This is the script used exclusively by Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor after they attained enlightenment!" said the Great Sage Hun Tuo. After carefully studying it, he read out the ancient characters and said, "No Saints Under Heaven!"

"That's right, No Saints Under Heaven," Gai Jiuyou also said.

"I said before that it is better for a sage to live in seclusion and leave the world to the younger generation," Gai Jiuyou said.

The Great Sage Hun Tuo Nian said coldly, "Very good! With all races coexisting, the future will be peaceful."

They invited the decree into the secret realm of Jade Pool to continue their discussions. Although many Ancestor King were dissatisfied, with this "decree" personally written by the Wu Shi the Great, the tone for the rest of the discussion had been set. Regardless of the commotion outside, everything would come to an end.

"It's finally going to end!"

Seeing the Jade Pool gradually calm down, both the Ancient Races and the human race breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the rules are properly enforced and the sage doesn't intervene, things will become much more stable.

The most relaxed among them were the various prodigies. If the sage were allowed to act freely, they would be the most uneasy. They would undoubtedly be the people their opponents most wanted to eliminate, and they would be unsafe wherever they went.

Even the Imperial Son were wary, fearing that the saints behind the other princes would suddenly kill them.

Finally, the music ended and the Jade Pool Gathering concluded, with the various groups departing in batches.

Of course, many people are still here, lingering and reuniting with familiar faces, raising their glasses in celebration, for a rare period of peace has arrived.

Just then, the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion found Zhou Tong.

"Boy, you almost caused another disaster! Challenging Yuan Gu before the Ten Thousand Races Grand Meeting, how could you even think of that!" This old sage never gave Zhou Tong a good look. "In the battle for the Emperor's Path, if you lose, most of the momentum we've built up will be useless!"

"My victory or defeat with Yuan Gu has no impact on the outcome of the grand event; since that's the case, why should I let someone I don't like keep jumping around in front of me?" Zhou Tong chuckled.

The Old Mansion Lord glanced at Zhou Tong and said, "You've been sending out challenges and making enemies everywhere, and you still have the nerve to say it won't affect the outcome of the grand event? The faction supporting the Heavenly Emperor Son, as well as those from the Golden Cave and the Primordial Lake, are all hardline pro-war factions!"

"Dao Self don't issue a challenge? But what if they are tough? With Senior Gai suppressing them and the Wu Shi the Great's Edict, how can they possibly stand up for themselves?" Zhou Tong glanced at the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, quite speechless.

However, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "The Grand Ten Thousand Races Grand Meeting has concluded successfully, and this matter is over. But Senior, you didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?"

The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion said, "Although I think you probably know something, I'm still here to inform you. In six years, the Strongest Trial Road will open... It's a path where countless heroes have shed their blood, and it's incredibly cruel."

"So it's the Ancient Starry Road... I understand!" Zhou Tong nodded.

"You really know a lot, kid!" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion nodded. "Although you already know this path, I still have to remind you, you should think carefully. Once you go in, there's no turning back!"

"As far as I know, reaching the combat power of Great Sage is enough to return!" Zhou Tong.

"You're just a King now, and you dare to talk about the combat power of Great Sage?" The Old Mansion Lord was speechless. "If it were that easy to reach the combat power of Great Sage, wouldn't we have been living like dogs all these years?"

"Woof! Who wants to live on me?" A black dog with shiny fur darted out from not far away.

Upon seeing the dog, the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion's face twitched slightly. He seemed about to say something, but remained silent. Finally Old Mansion Lord glared at the dog, turned, and left.

"If you decide to take that path, come find me at the Mysterious Scholar Mansion in six years!" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion called out to Zhou Tong before leaving.
