P. S.: There are currently eight chapters missing, which need to be made up.

However, the overall world-building is finally complete. I still prefer Tilda Swinton's version of the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi, so her character was given more attention. I also recommend the movie "Constantine" where she co-starred with Little Leo; he played the archangel Gabriel and he looked very cool.

Chapter 769, Section 804: How can the truth be spoken carelessly?

Kunlun, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains and the ancestor of dragon veins, is inextricably linked to longevity and Ascension to Immortality to immortality.

Regarding this, the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas, Book of the Western Regions, records. "The Kunlun Void is in the northwest, the Imperial Lower Capital..."

Therefore, even in the minds of ordinary Chinese people, Kunlun is a sacred Immortal Mountain connecting to the Heavenly Realm, Kevin, who has now ventured deep into this place, neither agrees nor disagrees.

But looking into the distance, the scenery before one's eyes is truly breathtaking. Over a radius of more than 800 li, Majestic Peaks rise to a height of about 10,000 ren, and the terrain stretches out in undulating waves, divided into nine areas by clouds and mist and winding waterways.

Each region boasts its own unique natural scenery, with shifting sands, black waters, red waters, Flame Mountain, Red Soil, snow-capped peaks, mist, and layered clouds interspersed throughout.

Kevin stood amidst the Green Waves of the Forest Sea, looking up at the nine natural stone steps, each traversing a section and stretching towards the end of the Misty and Gale Winds.

At the summit of each mountain range, Spatial Storm surged ceaselessly, and Fan-shaped Gate, entirely carved from jade, stood at the end of the steps.

Nine gates connect to the sky, towering and seemingly endless, with cloud and thunder patterns on both sides, and Sun Relief in the center of each gate, each corresponding to one of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams above.

Qian Heaven), Kun Earth), Kan Water), Li Fire), Xun Wind), Zhen Thunder), Gen Mountain), Dui Lake)...

Cloud and thunder patterns, Blazing Sun Relief, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams —a true Karmic Debt run deep...

The Judgment Angel swept across the scene, roughly calculating the number of steps down the steps; it was approximately 11,114.

Because the geographical environment around the mountain is completely different from that on Earth, most of the plants and animals reflected in his eyes are not familiar to him. Going up there rashly would be asking for trouble.

So... Kevin's lips curled up slightly, Flame Greatsword cleaved open, like the arc of Crimson Fiend Star falling to earth, piercing the sky, and a violent shockwave spread out in all directions.

In an instant, a dark red gale swept in all directions, blasting cone-shaped craters into the mountainside and snapping hundreds of towering ancient trees in the vicinity.

Might as well... let trouble come to him...

Behind the Xun Gate, at the Sword Dancing Ground, beneath the Jade White Yao Tree.

Li Sushang, the daughter of the Seventh Sword Master was holding the Xuanyuan Sword and refining her sword intent with Ink Dye Fragrance, suddenly opened her eyes and stared in astonishment at the Blazing Light that pierced through the sky and sea of clouds.

What is that?! Let's go see!

The Girl with Yellow Ribbon, her body surrounded by sword light, shot towards the Kunlun Mountain, breaking through the gale.

However, when the sword light, which had traveled thousands of miles in an instant, stopped in the air above the crime scene, Li Sushang looked down and saw that there was no trace of anyone else around the cone-shaped pit where lava was flowing.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At the same time, Black, White, Red, and Blue Sword Light shot out from the other four gates, landing Miao Border Twins into the Four Great Sword Masters: Jiang Wanxi, Jiang Wanru, the Old Six Ma Yanqing, Old Seven Qin Suyin.

"Mother! What brings you here?"

Li Sushang's sword light scattered and landed on the gentle slope of the ground. She ran towards Qin Suyin with delight and waved to greet her.

As she approached the other three sword masters, the girl slightly restrained her lively nature and showed a degree of respect.

"Greetings, Third Martial Uncle, Fourth Martial Uncle, Sixth Martial Uncle..."

Looking down at the lava-flowing ground, Qin Suyin gave her daughter a reproachful look.

"I told you to stay at the Sword Dancing Ground, why did you go down the mountain on your own! What if there's a crisis? How will you handle it? Go back!"

Li Sushang looked somewhat aggrieved, but having long been under her mother's sway, she dared not directly rebel, and could only lower her head and mutter softly.

"They were just worried about you and came to check on you."

"Besides, with so many uncles and elders here, what's there to be afraid of? I'm not made of clay that I'll fall and break while walking."

At this moment, Ma Yanqing, standing behind Qin Suyin, laughed heartily, but unfortunately, the scar between his eyebrows made the smile look somewhat ferocious.

"Seventh Junior Sister, it's fine to let your girl stay here and observe. Ultimately, sword practice requires Cultivating the Heart; early experience will only bring benefits."

"I knew my Sixth Martial Uncle loved me the most!"

Hearing Ma Yanqing plead for her, Li Sushang was filled with anticipation and smiled broadly at this seemingly stern but kind-hearted martial uncle.

"I know I'm good to you, so please call me Sixth Martial Uncle less often. It's too formal. After all, in the Tiandao Palace, only a few families can be considered close relatives. Just call me Sixth Uncle."

Ma Yanqing smiled with narrowed eyes, gently patting Li Suying's shoulder, displaying the kindness of an elder.

"Mom, since Sixth Uncle has said so, please let me stay and take a look, okay?"

Thinking she had successfully used a roundabout method to save the country, Li Sushang immediately grabbed her mother's hand, shook it coquettishly, and blinked her eyes pleadingly.

"Have you practiced today's Tai Xu Sword Form Twenty-One a thousand times?"

"Has your sword heart and sword intent improved?"

However, Qin Suyin stared straight ahead, her face as cold as ice. Her questions left Li Sushang, who had initially held a glimmer of hope, speechless, and her spirits plummeted.

"Get back here! When did it become your place to meddle in adults' affairs?!"

"Remember your duty. You are Princess Reina's Sword Attendant. You must strive for excellence in your studies and not neglect your training for even a day. Focus on practicing your swordsmanship and be prepared to welcome the Princess and His Majesty!"

Li Sushang's expression fell, and she immediately bid farewell to her mother listlessly. Then, she transformed into a sword light and returned to the Sword Dancing Ground.

"Seventh Junior Sister, aren't you being a bit too harsh on our own girl? Chang'er is exceptionally talented. It's better for her to spend more time with us than to stay behind closed doors and cultivate in seclusion."

"I appreciate Sixth Senior Brother's kindness, but the responsibility of raising children is a matter for the Li Family, and it is not necessary for outsiders to do it."

Ma Yanqing's facial muscles twitched slightly, his smile gradually faded, and the scar on his forehead seemed to have deepened.

While the atmosphere remained quiet, the inseparable Miao Border Twins sang and joked, their expressions playful.

"Hehe, Old Six, who doesn't know you..."

"Quite preoccupied..."

"Only now are you thinking of befriending the Li Family, is that...?"

"It's too late..."

"Sushang is the apple of Seventh Junior Sister's eye; she's hoping to raise her daughter..."

"Sell it for a good price..."

Jiang Wanxi, with her jet-black hair, glanced at the somewhat indifferent Jiang Wanru and chuckled charmingly.

"Little sister, you're being naughty again..."

But then, the sword master, who came from a different ethnic group in Miao territory, smiled even more broadly and patiently taught his younger sister the proper etiquette for speaking.

"How can you speak the truth like that..."

Even though Ma Yanqing was being belittled, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and gloat when he saw the flames of war spread to Qin Suyin.

The seven people had worked together for a thousand years, so they knew each other inside and out. But the deeper their understanding of each other, the more unpleasant things happened between them.

The so-called alliance would probably have been dead in name only if it weren't for the need to stick together for warmth on Lieyang Star.

Qin Suyin frowned, her hands, which she had tucked into her Water Sleeve, cracked at the knuckles, and her face turned pale. But she quickly regained her composure, her face grim, and asked in a cold voice.

"Have you all finished arguing? The [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] is about to connect with the Tiandao Palace, and now Kunlun is causing trouble again, delaying the Emperor Lord's important matters. Who among you can take responsibility for this?"

The four then temporarily ceased their fighting, releasing their honed Tai Xu Sword Intent to envelop the area around the crime scene, carefully filtering their surroundings.

However, even though the Tai Xu Sword Intent from the outer side of the space plowed through the area of dozens of miles in inch by inch, it never touched the figure coldly looking down from the rift.

Chapter 770, Section 805: The Gate of the Heavenly Realm

"Fortunately, it's just a minor damage to one Branch Vein; it won't affect the overall situation..."

Qin Suyin waved her long sleeves, and amidst the clouds and mist, the jade-carved Kan Gate shimmered with light. A gust of wind and rain swept towards the area covered with lava, extinguishing the nascent wildfire.

"We sisters have searched the area within a 300-mile radius, but there's not a trace of them. It must have been an accident."

Jiang Wanxi stood on the branch of an ancient tree, and after reuniting with her junior brothers and sisters, she opened her mouth to respond.

"I hope so, but I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching this place, it really makes me uneasy..."

Ma Yanqing, with his arrogant and suspicious nature, frowned and muttered to himself, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"Senior brother, you're overthinking it. We both know that whenever the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] opens, slight Spatial Turbulence and minor Energy Backflow are normal."

"Currently, the Tiandao Palace is calibrating its Anchor Line with the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm], while on the other hand, utilizing the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm]'s Space Piercing capabilities, we are getting close to 'that place'..."

"It's understandable that Kunlun is affected to some extent, after all, the Stabilizing Power of the Dragon Vein is not what it used to be."

Qin Suyin, in particular, did not take it to heart.

"That's true. The Heavenly Palace is about to descend. We only need to do our duty to accomplish a great feat..."

"Besides, we even took the initiative to share the Emperor Lord's burdens and found the location of that thing..."

Ma Yanqing let out a slight sigh of relief, tapped his head, and his expression softened. But then he seemed to remember something and couldn't help but frown and offer a reminder.

"Gentlemen, now that things have come to this, stop being so busy eating alone and hurry up and clean your mouths so you don't leave any loose ends."

"It seems it's the Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister' turn to enjoy the dragon's blood today, while the Fifth Senior Sister is still responsible for using the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] to pierce through space and anchor herself in that place..."

"To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, my Seventh Junior Sister and I have informed those two to consider Guard and Support while they're ahead, and we'd like to trouble our Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister to protect and support our Fifth Senior Sister."

Jiang Wanxi and her sister exchanged glances, quite satisfied with the arrangement, nodded in agreement, and then transformed into a sword light and vanished.

Lin Zhaoyu, who acts arrogantly because of her age, and Su Mei, who has a gloomy mind, are not people to be trifled with. If we were to advise them to shut up now, it would be risky to offend them.

Although they weren't afraid of the two senior sisters, they were too lazy to get involved in this mess.

"Why are you doing this, senior brother?"

Qin Suyin was also somewhat puzzled as to why Ma Yanqing had taken on this difficult task and even dragged her along, so she frowned and muttered to herself.

However, Ma Yanqing smiled mysteriously, casually took out a Jade Bottle, tossed it to Qin Suyin, looked up at the departing figures of the two Miao sisters, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, which were somewhat sarcastic.

"Junior sister, I have a feeling that the strange activity just now was unusual. Perhaps we won't be able to enjoy the good things in the Kunlun Mountains for long..."

"Just in case, why not take this opportunity to inform our Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister sisters and sever one of our Ancestral Vein, so we can share a great fortune..."

So that's how it is. Notifying them was a pretense; the real purpose was to extract the Blood of the Ancestral Dragon. No wonder they sent their Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister away.

"I will obey your orders, Senior Brother..."

Qin Suyin's mind stirred. She was impressed by Ma Yanqing's audacity in squandering the benefits, but considering the massive resources her daughter needed to practice swordsmanship, she nodded gently.

Hmph! What a hypocrite! If it weren't for your daughter, you wouldn't have this opportunity to enjoy.

Ma Yanqing appeared to be all smiles, but in reality, he harbored his own interests and held Qin Suyin in utter contempt.

On the surface, Ma Yanqing and Qin Suyin were amicable, but in reality, Mutual Dislike. After finalizing their plan, they nodded to each other and vanished in a flash of sword light.

At that moment, a slender white index finger easily sliced open the space, Kevin, with his left hand pressed against his temple, stepped out from the gradually closing rift.

The Judgment Angel, who had deliberately stirred up trouble and then watched as his opponent revealed a weakness, glanced around in both directions, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation.

It seems that the nine things called the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] at the summit of Kunlun are the Physical Great Worm Bridge developed by Lieyang Star.

According to these four individuals, the high-ranking figure from Lieyang Star responsible for negotiations with Earth seems to be arriving soon?

However, this group of people just mentioned two things they are currently doing: refining dragon blood and using the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] to open 'that place'.

The seven sword masters are currently divided into two groups, each doing different things. Which side should they align with first?

Dragon blood... dragon vein... The primary purpose of coming to Kunlun was to resolve the Canghai City Crisis. Well, let's take it one step at a time.

I have plenty of time to play with you all at your leisure!

After a moment's thought, Kevin concealed himself and strode in the direction Ma Yanqing and Qin Suyin were heading.

A fierce wind howled, Clouds Dispersing. Three figures, two in front and one behind, entered a natural cave that resembled the Fierce Beast's Maw. After traveling for dozens of miles, the appearance of bones and scales appeared on the surrounding stone walls.

Kevin felt as if he had entered the belly of a lurking monster, the intricate network of caverns around him resembling the monster's blood vessels.

As they drew closer, the stench of blood grew stronger and stronger until Ma Yanqing and Qin Suyin stopped in a tangled, vein-filled room. Kevin, who hadn't even entered, could hear the faint sound of water and the faint mournful cries of beasts.

The moment the man who had been traversing the Spatial Rift entered the communal room, his pupils constricted slightly, and his expression turned grim.

At the Top of the Rock Cavern, dozens of veins connecting to the earth's veins and transporting Miasmic Essence converged here, intertwining into Heart-like Tumor that pulsated rhythmically.

A three-inch Jade Talisman Sword was inserted into each of the left and right atria.

Amidst the faint mournful cries of dragons, a golden liquid, resembling blood, dripped from the pierced wound into a jade Jade Bottle placed beneath the sword hilt.
