While Ling Xiao and Uncle Boya were cultivating in the Chaos-Hole Ancestral Dragon.
Beyond the Mythic Battlefield, the Thousand Autumn Realm, one of the twelve realms of the Origin True Realm, is experiencing a significant upheaval due to the wrath of the Ancestor of War.
On that day, almost all the beings in the Thousand Autumn Realm heard a roar coming from the War God Palace in a distant land.
Then a piece of news suddenly came out, and everyone finally understood why the Ancestor of War was so furious.
That was because his successor, Zhan Tianyan, the future master of the War God Palace, was killed in the Mythic Battlefield.
It is said that even with the intervention of the Ancestor of War, the opponent showed no mercy and annihilated Zhan Tianyan.
Although the Origin True Realm is infinitely vast, secrets don't stay hidden forever. Major events that occurred on the Mythic Battlefield were quickly spread by those who love gossip and thrive on chaos.
There are even sects that exist specifically to transmit intelligence, recording and disseminating major events that occur throughout the True Realm.
Therefore, news of Ling Xiao killing Zhan Tianyan quickly spread, especially in the Thousand Autumn Realm.
Because Zhan Tianyan is the descendant of the Ancestor of War, who is an Ancestor of War in the Thousand Autumn Realm, a figure known to everyone.
This is a giant who has existed for an extremely long time and has dominated countless battles in the Thousand Autumn Realm. His status is extremely high, and apart from the Realm Lord, there are only a handful of people in the entire Thousand Autumn Realm who can surpass him.
Therefore, the wrath of the Ancestor of War had a great impact.
When everyone learned what had happened, they were all shocked.
Who on earth dared to disregard the dignity of the Ancestor of War and forcibly kill Zhan Tianyan?
Soon, when the culprit who killed Zhan Tianyan was exposed, the many beings of the Thousand Autumn Realm were stunned into silence.
For them, the name Ling Xiao wasn't entirely unfamiliar; at the very least, they had some recollection of it.
A small disturbance was stirred up a long time ago because of the matter of the Hundred Tribulations True Lord, but it was quickly quelled.
Because in people's eyes, throughout history, there have been too many young and powerful individuals who have made a name for themselves and are ignorant of their own limitations.
But without exception, they will soon be buried in the dust of history.
However, to their surprise, Ling Xiao's name resounded once again not long afterward.
This time it's even more terrifying than the last one.
He actually killed the descendant of the Ancestor of War. Zhan Tianyan's identity and status are far more important than that of a mere errand boy, the Hundred Tribulations True Monarch.
Soon after, the Ancestor of War issued War Order, summoning powerful figures from all corners of the Thousand Autumn Realm to the Mythic Battlefield to slay Ling Xiao.
And then they dropped a bombshell.
"Whoever returns with Ling Xiao's head will be the next successor of my War God Palace!"
The news quickly spread throughout the entire Thousand Autumn Realm, shocking countless people.
Anyone who kills Ling Xiao can become the next successor of the War God Palace.
This signifies supreme status, inexhaustible resources, and an unbreakable patron.
"I am the rightful successor to the God of the War God Palace!"
"Heh... You little Ling Xiao, I will surely kill him!"
"You think there's no one in my Thousand Autumn Realm? I will march on the Mythic Battlefield!"
In an instant, turmoil swept across the Thousand Autumn Realm, with everyone responding to the call of the Ancestor of War and mobilizing their forces.
Given the influence of the Ancestor of War, even without the promise of a successor to the War God Palace, many powerful individuals would be willing to serve him faithfully.
The reason why the Ancestor of War did not go to the Mythic Battlefield in person was twofold: firstly, he was unable to leave, and secondly, he was constrained by his status. Given his position and status, it would be inappropriate for him to personally go to the Mythic Battlefield to kill an unknown junior.
If the other giants found out, they'd laugh their heads off.
I thought his War God Palace was deserted!
In fact, the War God Palace is a single-lineage society, with one legitimate successor after another. After Zhan Tianyan's death, there really wasn't anyone left.
Therefore, the Ancestor of War did this with the intention of selecting the next successor of the War God Palace.
Anyone who can kill Ling Xiao and bring back his head will absolutely be qualified to be my successor.
The turmoil escalated, spreading throughout the Thousand Autumn Realm and stirring up many voices calling for the condemnation of Ling Xiao.
In a void at the edge of the Thousand Autumn Realm, planes intersect and spacetime flows erratically. Ordinary cultivators who step into this place can easily lose their way and be torn apart by the spatial turbulence.
Deep within this spatial turbulence lies a separate barrier, the territory of the Heavenly Origin Mother Sect.
This is a world of magnificent landscapes and picturesque scenery.
In this vast and boundless world, there are twinkling stars and the blazing sun.
The pale full moon and the golden sun corresponded, and Shinjuku dotted the sky. They appeared under the same sky at the same time, and the three-colored divine light was poured out, illuminating the mountains and the earth in a beautiful way.
The whole world is breathtakingly beautiful, filled with feminine grace, a scene of pure bliss, without a trace of gloom.
Abundant vital energy filled the entire world, nourishing all things.
This world is vast, with thousands of kingdoms established on its plains and mountains, forming enormous empires.
However, these empires were filled with female cultivators, densely packed together, with not a single male among them.
In the most sacred place in the world, majestic mountains float in the sky.
These mountains are so high that they are invisible, soaring into the depths of the clouds, and all of them are made of a rare and beautiful jade-like gold.
The palaces and pavilions above are partially hidden within, exquisite and beautiful, accompanied by the continuous falling sacred chants, creating a magnificent scene of a heavenly palace.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor broke through the void and flew straight towards the largest and most sacred palace on the main peak.
She hurriedly landed on the mountaintop and walked into the palace.
Inside the vast and spacious palace stood many women of all kinds, each with their own unique charm and temperament, but without exception, they were all stunning beauties.
At the very top of the main hall sat a majestic woman, exuding an aura of imperial authority and divine power.
She is the supreme empress who rules this place, the undisputed overlord.
The woman, who had rushed over, quickly approached the prince and, unable to contain her shock any longer, loudly reported:
"Mother, something terrible has happened! The Ancestor of War has issued War Order, summoning the strongest warriors to the Mythic Battlefield!"
Upon hearing this, the dignified woman at the head of the table merely raised her eyelids slightly and said indifferently.
"Don't make a fuss. This has nothing to do with us. Just focus on your cultivation. Remember what I said: everything that happens in the outside world is fleeting and doesn't need our attention."
Upon hearing her words, a flash of shame and indignation crossed the princess's eyes. After much hesitation and internal struggle, she finally mustered the courage to utter the name she did not wish to mention.
"The one the Ancestor of War wants to kill is Ling Xiao, and he has come to the Origin True Realm!"
"What?"
The imposing woman suddenly stood up, unleashing a terrifying aura.
Meanwhile, in the crowd below, two women exchanged a shocked glance and stood frozen in place.
