Five Star Dou Sheng

The Ancient Clan are, on the surface, the strongest of the Ancient Six Clans. No one questions their power.

The Soul Clan, in fact, is probably the oldest of the Ancient Eight Clans.

This race existed in Ancient Times. This race has always been mysterious and enigmatic. As to just how strong they are, even other races probably dare not claim to have an absolute understanding.

Although the Soul Clan wasn't the most dominant force in previous wars, observant people would notice that, regardless of the circumstances, they never suffered a defeat...

The absence of victory or defeat, in a sense, is a rather terrifying level. Therefore, even the Ancient Clan races hold this mysterious Ancient Race in high regard.

These two Ancient Race almost represent the most powerful forces on the Dou Qi Continent today. If they wanted to wipe out the entire Spirit Clan without anyone noticing, probably no other force could do it!

Therefore, the most suspicious parties in this upheaval of the Spirit Clan are undoubtedly the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, although the other four clans do not have absolute evidence to point out who the culprit is.

However, it is clear that after this incident with the Spirit Clan, they will be extremely vigilant towards the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. If the other party is really after the Tou She Ancient God Jade, then they will definitely not stop. And those who possess the other four pieces of the Ancient Jade will become the next target!

The Ancient Clan were quite annoyed by this unfounded suspicion, but they were also aware of the seriousness of the matter.

At this time, any action might lead to unnecessary speculation, so they could only remain silent.

Meanwhile, the true culprits, the Soul Clan, continued their usual practice of turning a blind eye and continuing with their usual activities.

Anyway, the Soul Clan doesn't need any allies. They don't care what others think; they just need to steadily implement their plans.

Holy Pill City, Pill Tower Headquarters.

Inside the hall, the senior executives took their seats in an orderly fashion.

The Pill Tower Great Elder, seated at the head of the table, closed his eyes to rest. On the wooden table in front of him, a blood-red invitation lay quietly, and a faint, rich smell of blood permeated the air.

Everyone noticed the post and frowned. They sensed a familiar Aura from it; the Hall of Souls had indeed finally acted.

Suddenly, everyone quieted down. At this moment, the Great Elder opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and then spoke in a deep voice.

With a flick of his finger, the blood-red challenge on the stone table automatically unfolded, releasing a burst of bloody energy that transformed into sharp, blood-red characters in mid-air.

"Xiao Ming of the Heavenly Court Fallen Mountain Peak three months from now, to face his maker!"

"I imagine you've already heard quite a bit about this. What are your thoughts on this matter? To accept it or not?" Looking at the silent crowd, the Pill Tower Great Elder asked.

"..."

After exchanging glances, the Fire Cloud Ancestor finally spoke.

"In my opinion, this battle is inevitable, otherwise the prestige that our Heavenly Court has accumulated over the past six months will vanish. However, this matter specifically names the Alliance Leader, but the Alliance Leader is not here... This is somewhat difficult."

"Yes, the Alliance Leader left after the last operation to wipe out the Human and Earth Halls. Without him, we cannot make a decision on this matter."

Everyone agreed. Although Xiao Ming didn't usually get involved in affairs, he had the highest prestige in the Heavenly Court.

Aside from the Pill Tower from which he originated, several other well-known and powerful forces, such as the Flower Sect, the Sound Valley, the Nine Netherworld Python, and the Wind Snow Holy Hall, are all related to him. It can be said that Xiao Ming has made great contributions to the development of the Heavenly Court to its current state, so it is only natural that he should make the decision to accept the challenge.

"Alas, I understand this matter, but the Alliance Leader is currently in seclusion."

The Pill Tower Great Elder couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the message sent a few days ago.

"Seclusion?!"

"Could it be that the Alliance Leader is about to break through again?!"

Upon hearing about the seclusion, everyone immediately realized the blind spot and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it seems so." The Pill Tower Great Elder nodded. He knew the reason for everyone's exclamation. Xiao Ming's strength had already reached the Peak Three-star Dou Sheng. If he could break through again, he would be at the Four-star Dou Sheng and enter the ranks of Intermediate Dou Sheng. And Xiao Ming was only about twenty-four years old. How amazing was that!

The Great Elder believed that given a few more decades, Xiao Ming might become one of the strongest experts on the continent.

"Then let's wait a few more days. Anyway, we have a three-month deadline. Once the Alliance Leader emerges from seclusion, the Hall of Souls will be no threat." At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint said slowly.

In reality, the Hall of Souls doesn't pose a fatal threat to them right now. Of course, this is under the condition that the Soul Clan isn't fully involved. If the Soul Clan were to fully engage, the situation would be very unpredictable.

The Soul Clan is, after all, one of the most powerful Ancient Race. Even with the addition of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to the Heavenly Court, they are not very confident. Moreover, the Ancient Void Dragon have not yet fully integrated into the Heavenly Court, and they do not have a thorough understanding of the Ancient Void Dragon's strength.

Moreover, once the Soul Clan intervenes, the war will become uncontrollable, and the rule that experts above the Five Star Dou Sheng in the Central Plains are not allowed to intervene may be broken.

The current Heavenly Court Alliance is capable of contending with the Hall of Souls, but if they were to truly attempt to completely destroy it at that stage, the Alliance would inevitably suffer devastating damage, and might even face mutual destruction, which is unacceptable to them.

"Alright, let's wait a while longer. The Hall of Souls gave us three months; they probably want to prepare properly."

The Pill Tower Great Elder made the decision and then transmitted the contents of this meeting to the Jia Ma Empire via Spatial Wormhole.

Xiao Ming did not go into seclusion for a long time as they had expected; two days after the meeting,

A violent energy storm suddenly appeared in the Xiao Family Back Mountain.

The eyes of everyone in Wu Tan City couldn't help but turn in that direction.

Inside the secret chamber, the Purple Crystal that had enveloped Xiao Ming and Zi Yan had disappeared, and the Heavenly Flames was nowhere to be seen. Only Xiao Ming and Zi Yan sat close together, with faint purple light emanating from their bodies. The Heaven and Earth Energy rushed into their bodies, and the terrifying aura around them made it hard to breathe.

Suddenly, the storm stopped, and the two people who had been keeping their eyes closed snapped open. The dark room was instantly illuminated by a strong purple light, and then returned to normal.

Looking at Zi Yan who was so close to him, Xiao Ming moved his head back a little before standing up and stretching his body.

After a series of crackling sounds, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"The effects of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit exceeded my expectations, actually propelling me directly to the Late Five Star Dou Sheng. Zi Yan, what level of strength have you reached?"

"Hehe, I've reached the Early Six Star."

Zi Yan also stood up and stretched her waist, smiling as she spoke.
