Transfer!

Inside an ancient tower in a hidden space within the Great Xia World.

An old man dressed in a golden robe with an ugly face emerged from the void.

"Ancestor." The four celestial beings who had been waiting inside the tower all looked at the old man eagerly.

"We've failed." The ugly old man's face was grim. "The Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror has fallen into Zhou Hao's hands. Devoted Heart, Withered Wood, Golden Cloud have all perished, and even the Corpse Puppet is dead."

"Ah." The four celestial beings all held their breath.

This ugly old man was another incarnation of the Shaoyan Patriarch, Shaoyan Chou. As for the others in the tower, they were the only four remaining Heavenly Immortals of the Shaoyan Clan besides Shaoyan Chou.

To be precise, after the Shaoyan Clan's suicide and the deaths of Devoted Heart and Withered Wood, only three Celestial Immortals remained in Xuanji Shaoyan Clan: Golden Bell, Jingyu, and Black Rain.

The other man, with a head of fiery red, messy hair and even some fish scales on his face, was not a member of the Shaoyan Clan, but Shaoyan Chou's spirit beast. He was a great demon who had cultivated into a celestial being, named ' Fire Mackerel '.

"Fire Mackerel." Shaoyan Chou looked at his spirit beast.

He trusted the spirit beasts who had grown up alongside him from humble beginnings more than his bloodline descendants.

"Master," the Fire Mackerel Celestial said respectfully.

"Take the other celestial beings and quickly arrange the relocation. All members of my Shaoyan Clan clan must be moved to the World-Suppressing Tower world. Afterwards, do not wait for me; bring the Town-Suppressing Tower to the Zhuanxu Domain," Shaoyan Chou instructed. "Remember, you must be quick. I want you to do it within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. If there is simply not enough time, it doesn't matter if you abandon some mortals."

He has a total of eighteen clones. Apart from one that is stationed in the Great Xia World, the other seventeen clones are hidden in other great worlds, some of which are not even in the Crimsonbright Domain.

The Zhuanxu Domain was ruled by Emperor Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors of the Ancient Imperial Clan. Its strength was even greater than that of the Crimsonbright Domain among the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and he had long ago prepared hidden escape routes.

"Ancestor?" Golden Bell, Jingyu, and Black Rain, the three Celestial Immortals, exclaimed in astonishment, "Are we really going to abandon our fiefdoms in the Great Xia World and relocate everything now?"

Since the ancient times of gods and demons Shaoyan Clan has followed the Xia Emperor in conquering the world. After receiving the fiefdom of three counties, they have multiplied to this day, with more than a hundred billion members.

Moreover, the migration of a clan is not as simple as just taking the population with them; it also involves various mineral veins, medicinal herb fields, and other cultivation resources, as well as the various magical artifacts used to set up the lair formation...

Even if those celestial beings could move mountains and overturn seas, they couldn't possibly take everything away in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

"A tree dies if it's moved, but a person thrives. If we don't leave now, are we going to wait for Zhou Hao's army to arrive?" Shaoyan Chou shouted. "Didn't you see how astonishing Zhou Hao's strength was in the Earth Ruins Realm? To be so powerful with Void Return Body, killing Celestial Immortals like slaughtering dogs, I've never seen such a freak in all of ancient times. Even the legendary prodigies are far from being comparable to him!"

"If I, the patriarch, had obtained the Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror and entered the Five Village Temple, and been able to overcome the bottleneck and become a Pure Yang True Immortal, perhaps I could have fought him. But now..." Shaoyan Chou sighed, "If we don't move and hide, are we just going to wait to die here?"

Although his clone left behind some harsh words before dying, it was only to disturb Zhou Hao's mind and make him think that he would continue to fight. Ideally, he would be able to get Zhou Hao to go back and mobilize his army, so that Zhou Hao would not immediately chase after him to the Great Xia World, thus giving him more time to transfer his people.

He knew very well that with Zhou Hao's displayed strength, his status as the Heavenly Court Emperor, and the power he had built, even if he achieved the Pure Yang True Immortal, he would only be able to hide and go into hiding.

Moreover, even if one is in hiding, one must find a powerful backer; otherwise, given Zhou Hao's status, it's hard to guarantee that he won't ask the Dao Ancestor to investigate the whereabouts of all his clones.

"We can't stay in Nuwa Faction." Shaoyan Chou's face darkened, and he made a decision in an instant.

The Wujian Gate had been secretly infiltrating the Great Xia World for a long time, and their efforts to win over the Shaoyan Clan were not a recent development.

Previously, he wanted to observe the situation before making a decision, but now that Zhou Hao, a disciple of the Dao Sect leader, wanted to kill him, his only option was to seek protection by joining the Wujian Gate and thus survive in hiding.

"Anyway, under the calamity, we'll have to choose sides sooner or later. Choosing sides early might allow us to secure a high position in the Wujian Gate and obtain more cultivation resources." Shaoyan Chou shook his head inwardly and stepped out of the tower.

This tower, named the World-Suppressing Tower, is an innate spiritual treasure. Besides containing a world within it that can temporarily house hundreds of billions of people, it also has other wonderful uses. It is the true treasure of the Shaoyan Clan, far surpassing the pure Yang grade magic treasure ' Golden Bell ' once wielded by the Golden Bell Heavenly Immortal.

"Before leaving, I'll leave that old fellow Xia Emperor a generous gift, which can be considered as a pledge of allegiance to the Wujian Gate." Shaoyan Chou tore through space and teleported to the Chenyu Mountain Range in Eastern Mound Prefecture, one of the three major clan territories of the Shaoyan Clan in the Great Xia World.

As soon as he appeared in the Chenyu Mountain Range, Shaoyan Chou immediately traversed the void and arrived deep underground in the Chenyu Mountain Range.

Here, a fiery red copper pillar, ninety-nine feet thick and over three thousand miles long, is driven into the ground, like a long nail piercing the depths of the earth and disappearing into an incomparably huge fiery red rock wall.

The surface of the fiery red copper pillar was covered with numerous runes. Shaoyan Chou reached out and gently stroked the runes, then channeled his magic power to condense an ancient divine Divine Pattern in the air before waving his hand and sending the Divine Pattern into the copper pillar.

Wow~~~

The bronze pillar, which stretched for three thousand miles and was exposed on the fiery red rock wall, suddenly trembled, and the runes on its surface began to dissipate downwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, a thunderous sound, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, emanated from the fiery red rock wall pierced by the giant copper pillar.

It was as if countless giants were pounding on it, trying to overturn the bronze pillar from the inside out.

"Trapped in the Endless Bronze Furnace, tortured for billions of years without yielding, you gods and demons must be going crazy by now," Shaoyan Chou muttered to himself, looking down at the fiery red rock wall below, seemingly with a hint of regret.

The Endless Bronze Furnace is also a magical treasure. Although it is not an innate spiritual treasure, it is still considered a top-grade pure yang magical treasure.

Of course, while top-grade pure yang magic treasures are precious, they mean nothing to him.

What is truly precious are the ancient gods and demons imprisoned within the Endless Bronze Furnace.

The Shaoyan Clan has been capturing gods and demons since the ancient era of gods and demons. To date, the Endless Bronze Furnace holds more than nine hundred gods and demons, most of whom are ancient gods and demons at the Void Return level.

If so many ancient gods and demons could be tamed and enslaved to form a divine and demonic army, it would be enough to multiply the strength of the Shaoyan Clan.

But now we have no choice but to give it up.

With so many gods and demons around, even he couldn't take the Endless Bronze Furnace away.

"Our Shaoyan Clan clan is migrating as a whole, Yinglong Guard will definitely come to investigate." Shaoyan Chou smiled coldly, "When more than nine hundred ancient gods and demons suddenly appear, it will Yinglong Guard busy for a while."

He was a cold and evil person to begin with. This time, he suffered a loss at Zhou Hao's hands, which ruined his chance to break through to the Pure Yang True Immortal realm. In addition to hating Zhou Hao, he also hated the Great Xia who saved the other two Mysterious Heaven Sect Immortals.

In his view, if it weren't for the Third Prince's meddling, and if he had killed all the Xuan Tian Sect Mysterious Heaven Sect Immortals present at the time, even if Zhou Hao had received the news, he wouldn't have been able to arrive at the Earth Ruins Realm so quickly.

Then I will have time to obtain the Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror and have the opportunity to become Pure Yang True Immortal.

"And Zhou Hao. I can't do anything about you, but once the Wujian Gate finds out that your main body and avatar are in the Earth Ruins Realm and that you have obtained the Heaven-Earth Spirit Mirror, how could they let you go?" Shaoyan Chou's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and then he disappeared into thin air, having already left the Great Xia World.

PS:

Second update.

I'll count it as half a chapter. I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm starving.

I need to get up early tomorrow to drive to another city, so I can't stay up too late.

That's all for today. I'll be back by noon tomorrow. I'll keep working hard and try to finish the Earth Ruins Realm storyline with three chapters a day.
