The Three Realms.

High in the sky above the Great Yu World.

Wow.

The void shattered, and a man in black robes slowly stepped out.

"Fellow Daoist of Changsheng"

A voice rang out, and a man wearing a tall crown and a python robe traversed the void, arriving before the man in black robes.

This man in black robes was none other than Zhou Hao's Asura God clone, who had not left Perching Dragon Gorge for several years.

"Fellow Daoist Xia Qi," Zhou Hao greeted with a smile.

Xia Qi Daozu was the patriarch of the Ancient Imperial Clan Xia Clan and the only son of Xia Yu the Great, one of the Five Emperors.

"I didn't expect the commotion caused by the Wujian Gate this time to even alarm Changsheng Daoist Changsheng." Dao Ancestor Xia Qi's attitude towards Zhou Hao was quite respectful.

After all, in the last great battle in the Fifth World, Zhou Hao demonstrated strength capable of killing a top-tier Dao Ancestor and directly confronting the leader-level being ' Demonic Hand Dao Ancestor '.

"The Wujian Gate has caused such a commotion with the Ten Thousand Immortals undergoing their tribulations, attracting all of you fellow Daoists to gather at the Hall of Myriad Clans. I've come to take a look as well," Zhou Hao said with a smile.

"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, this way please." Daoist Xia Qi immediately led the way, guiding Zhou Hao towards the most magnificent and imposing palace among the ancient palace complex stretching below, the ' Hall of Myriad Clans '.

Although the Heavenly Court is the nominal ruler of the Three Realms, the previous Heavenly Emperors were nothing more than pure Pure Yang True Immortal. In the past, even the rulers of a great world in the Human Realm dared to lead immortals and demons to attack the Heavenly Court, let alone the group of True God Dao Ancestor. No one cared about the Heavenly Court.

Humans, however, are different.

When the human race was at its most powerful, it was the true master of the ancient Pangu World. Many gods and demons, such as Xing Tian and Yinglong, were True God Dao Ancestor who stood on the side of the human race from the very beginning.

The ' Hall of Myriad Clans ' was the place where the Ancient Imperial Clan summoned powerful figures from all sides.

Because Xia Yu was the last of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to rule over all the races of the ancient world, the ' Hall of Myriad Clans ' was moved to the Great Yu World, after the War of Destruction.

Hall of Myriad Clans.

The three emperors of the human race, the leaders of Buddhism and Dao Sect, the five emperors of the human race, the Buddhas of Buddhism, the Daoist Ancestors of the Dao Sect, and some leisurely Xiaoyao powerful beings have all gathered here.

In my opinion, Zhou Hao should bear full responsibility for this.

As Zhou Hao followed the guidance of Dao Ancestor Xia Qi, he had just reached the entrance of the Hall of Myriad Clans when he heard a powerful, thunderous voice emanating from inside the hall.

"The method for enhancing the Golden Core is so important, how can we easily hand it over for the sake of a child! Now look what's happened, our own camp hasn't even nurtured many Celestial Immortals after enhancing their Golden Core, yet the Wujian Gate has created a situation where ten thousand Immortals are undergoing tribulation simultaneously..."

Xia Qi Daozu's expression changed, and he quickly looked at Zhou Hao's face beside him, only to see that Zhou Hao seemed not to have heard him and strode into the Hall of Myriad Clans.

Wow~~~

One by one, the gazes of True God Dao Ancestor turned toward them.

Zhou Hao calmly stood still and looked around.

A group of powerful figures were seated on both sides of the main hall, with the stronger the individual, the closer their seat was to the inside.

At the very head of the table were the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, the Rulai of Buddhism, and his own master, the Sanqing, the leaders of the Dao Sect.

"Master." Zhou Hao first bowed to the Sanqing Ones.

"Changsheng." The Sanqing Ones nodded.

"Greetings to the three Human Emperors and the Buddha." Zhou Hao then bowed to the three Human Emperors and the Rulai.

"Young friend Changsheng." The two human emperors Fuxi-shi Shennong-shi, looked kindly at each other, Rulai also smiled and nodded.

"Changsheng, go sit over there." Suiren-shi waved his hand directly, setting up an extra seat among the top Dao Ancestors.

"Hmm." Zhou Hao stepped inside.

"Fellow Daoist of Changsheng"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Hao."

The powerful figures who passed by greeted him with smiles, and Zhou Hao responded with smiles in return.

Under the watchful eyes of True God Dao Ancestor in the hall, he walked straight to his seat and saw a thin, white-haired old man standing next to him. He then nodded and greeted him.

The thin, white-haired old man had his eyes closed, as if he were meditating, but he opened them when Zhou Hao approached him.

Seeing Zhou Hao sit down leisurely beside him, the old man carefully examined him for a while before smiling and saying, "I am Bodhi, and I have long admired young friend Changsheng. Meeting you today, I can see you are indeed extraordinary."

"Bodhi." Zhou Hao was taken aback, not expecting that the person he was next to was this ancestor.

The name of Bodhi Ancestor Crescent Moon Three Stars Cave, the master of Sun Wukong, is legendary to Zhou Hao, whether in his past or present life.

Even in this world of immortals and demons, who is the most mysterious of the True God Dao Ancestor of the Three Realms?

That would definitely be Bodhi Ancestor.

After all, only Bodhi Ancestor could prevent even a group of True God Dao Ancestor, or even leaders and great powers like the Sanqing Rulai, from finding the location of their cave dwellings.

To ordinary immortals and demons, Bodhi Ancestor is merely a mystery.

However, after reading countless books and biographies in the Dao Treasury Hall the Void Holy City over the past three years, Zhou Hao could better understand how profound Bodhi Ancestor's attainments were in the Dao of Time and Space.

That was a superb technique far surpassing the ordinary World Realm.

"Greetings, Ancestor," Zhou Hao said politely. "I have long heard of your renown in the realm of time and space. My master often told me that your ability to teleport is so remarkable that even Nuwa, who became the Lady Nuwa Pangu, would be amazed."

"He's just good at running away, nothing to brag about." Bodhi Ancestor shook his head and smiled. "Speaking of which, I 'saw' you from afar back at the Immortal Fate Assembly in the Great Xia World."

"Oh?" Zhou Hao's heart stirred, and he suddenly remembered Ji Ning, who had disappeared without a trace after the Immortal Fate Assembly.

It should be known that with his level of attainment, a single thought can encompass the Three Realms.

Even so, Ji Ning has remained at large for over a decade.

Judging from the tone of this mysterious ancestor, he was paying attention to the Great Xia World at the time, and Ji Ning later declined his suggestion and did not become Lü Dongbin's disciple...

"Could it be that the one who took Ji Ning as his disciple is the Ancestor?" Zhou Hao asked with a smile.

"Yes." Bodhi Ancestor nodded with a smile. "Ji Ning is my junior disciple. He is currently cultivating in my Crescent Moon World and will soon graduate."

"No wonder I couldn't find him; it turns out he's an ancestor," Zhou Hao sighed. "His Daoist partner Yu Wei, once asked me about Ji Ning's whereabouts. I only said that he was studying under a Daoist ancestor, which wasn't exactly a lie."

The two of them were having a good talk, but it angered another powerful figure in the hall.

That was the ' Thunder God Celestial Venerable ' who was saying he should take full responsibility when Zhou Hao came in.

"Zhou Hao." The Thunder God Celestial Venerable, clad in dark armor and still imposing even in human form, stared at Zhou Hao. "Because of your reckless disclosure of your cultivation techniques, the Wujian Gate is about to see a large number of Celestial Immortals who have advanced to the Golden Core stage. Now that you've come today, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Hall of Myriad Clans fell silent.

"An explanation?" The Three Pure Ones frowned slightly, their gazes sharp as swords falling on the Thunder God Celestial Venerable. "Thunder God, what kind of explanation do you want? The method to enhance the Golden Core is a method to Changsheng. Does giving it to someone or not require asking your opinion first, Thunder God?"

Intimidated by the gazes of the Three Pure Ones, the Thunder God Celestial Venerable's planned interrogation was interrupted, but seeing Zhou Hao after he spoke,

Without even raising his eyes, his anger intensified. Despite his fear of the Sanqing, he refused to yield easily and shouted:

"The method for enhancing the Golden Core has far-reaching implications, directly affecting the survival of countless lives on our side. Originally, our Nuwa Faction could have kept it to ourselves, cultivating it secretly, and it wouldn't have taken long to completely crush the Wujian Gate. But now?"

"Everywhere in the Three Realms, people are scrambling for natural evil energy veins like Earth Fire and Cold Fiend, turning what were originally worthless even a Celestial-grade magic treasure into something that can't be exchanged for a Pure Yang magic treasure."

"The Wujian Gate even directly abandoned a great world, allowing its immortals and demons to absorb its primordial energy."

"If we don't want to fall into the Wujian Gate as those who have worked so hard to build up their vast world, we can only do the same."

"Who will sacrifice this vast world? Who will compensate for the losses? Shouldn't Zhou Hao, who leaked the secrets of the cultivation technique, be held responsible?"

Seeing the powerful figures in the hall nod in agreement, the Thunder God Celestial Venerable grew increasingly confident as he spoke, "If you ask me, since Zhou Hao a True God, he hasn't created any worlds yet. Let him go and create a few Great Worlds for our camp. Anyway, he first annihilated hundreds of True Immortals and Celestial Gods from the Wujian Gate, then killed Dark Light and seized all his possessions. I don't think he'll be any less."

"Although I don't like Thor's temperament, what he said makes sense," another gaunt old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom chimed in. "While our camp has many great worlds, they have all been cultivated for countless years since the formation of the Three Realms, and they are related to the fortune of our entire camp."

"As the saying goes, those with nothing to lose are fearless. The Boundless Wujian Gate is already at a disadvantage in terms of fortune, and they don't have as many True Immortals and Celestial Gods as we do. So, they can easily give up what they have. After all, with more Celestials having reached the Golden Core stage, they have the strength to compete with us for control of more Great Worlds. It's not a loss for us." The gaunt old man looked at Zhou Hao. "Changsheng Daoist Changsheng is powerful and wealthy. Since this matter arose because of him, it's only right that he contributes more to our side and makes amends."

After the gaunt old man finished speaking, one after another, powerful figures in the hall began to speak.

"If we want to create a great world now, and make its origin sufficient for numerous immortals and demons to absorb, we need to sacrifice more innate spiritual treasures to accelerate its growth. Otherwise, if we wait for the newly created world to slowly absorb chaotic energy from chaos, the gap between it and the Wujian Gate might be wiped out by them."

"Yes."

"If you're slow on one step, every step after that will be slow."

Seeing that those who spoke were not ordinary True God Dao Ancestor, but top-tier, solitary figures like the Thunder God Celestial Venerable, while the great figures from the human race, Buddhism, and Dao Sect remained silent, Zhou Hao knew exactly what these people were thinking.

"In the end, it all comes down to self-interest," Zhou Hao sneered inwardly, continuing to observe their performance with a cold eye.

Over the past three years, with the secret efforts of the Wujian Gate, methods for enhancing the Golden Core have spread widely throughout the Three Realms. However, for powerful beings with the strength of top-tier True God Dao Ancestor, the impact has not been significant.

But for ordinary True God Dao Ancestor, the Pure Yang True Immortal, who was originally regarded as an ant, was about to be on equal footing with them in the future, so how could he sit still?

He had already become a Dao Ancestor, and his Golden Core was already set, which couldn't be changed. But he could still cultivate close disciples and bloodline members.

Since it is impossible to maintain the transcendent status of a great being, then build up your power and cultivate more celestial immortals and true immortals who have advanced to the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, those originally Xiaoyao and leisurely solitary powerful individuals have been anything but idle or Xiaoyao these past three years.

The idea is good, but training disciples and building up power requires resources.

Where do these resources come from?

Naturally, everyone started targeting Zhou Hao, the instigator.

"The chaos caused by the Wujian Gate hasn't been resolved yet, and it's uncertain whether I'll even survive in the future, yet I'm already thinking about my own interests. It seems that my master, Rulai, and the three Human Emperors have done too much, letting them enjoy their good days of protection for too long." Zhou Hao shook his head, too lazy to listen any further.

"Master."

Wow~~~

The powerful figures in the hall, especially the ordinary True God Dao Ancestor spoke one after another, trying to put pressure on Zhou Hao by virtue of their numbers, all looked at Zhou Hao with great interest.

"Looks like he can't hold on any longer."

"It's time for them to loosen their grip and release some spiritual treasures."

Many powerful figures were secretly delighted, hoping that the Sanqing Ones and the Dao Sect would also relinquish some of their interests; that would be ideal.

"Master, I have something to discuss with you today," Zhou Hao said, standing up.

"What is it?" the Sanqing asked.

The three human emperors and Rulai all looked at Zhou Hao.

As powerful figures below launched their attacks, the five leaders were actually secretly communicating and discussing among themselves.

He had intended to wait until everyone had finished speaking before offering his own solution, but Zhou Hao spoke first.

"It's just a minor matter concerning cultivation," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "There are a group of fellow cultivators here discussing 'important matters,' so I'll leave this little thing to you when we return to the Jade Void Palace."

The Sanqing Ones exchanged glances with Rulai Suiren-shi.

Several leaders of Nuwa Faction also felt that Zhou Hao's decision to ignore the powerful figures who were making trouble and leave directly was a good choice.

The Sanqing Ones surveyed the hall and calmly said, "Then please continue your discussion here. My disciple and I will return to the Heavenly Realm first."

Zhou Hao didn't even glance at Thunder God Celestial Venerable once from beginning to end.

After all, they are all powerful beings. How could the Thunder God Celestial Venerable not know when I first arrived at the Hall of Myriad Clans?

He was just saying it to himself on purpose.

Wow~~~

The Sanqing and Zhou Hao directly traversed the void and left.

Both of them came in person this time.

The Sanqing had other matters to attend to, as their true forms were already at the Hall of Myriad Clans, while Zhou Hao came specifically to find his master.

"Changsheng, don't upset them."

Upon returning to the Jade Void Palace, the Sanqing spoke first, "Your method for enhancing the Heavenly Immortal Golden Core of Celestial Immortals is tantamount to overturning the future status of Qi Refining Immortals in the Three Realms. It's understandable that ordinary True God Dao Ancestor would want some benefits for their own interests. In fact, even if they didn't bring it up, I, Rulai, and the Human Emperor have discussed this matter. Giving them some benefits would be to cultivate elite disciples for our Nuwa Faction and increase our strength."

"Master, I have no time to argue with them," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "Compared to how many more second-level celestial immortals or true immortals could be added, I would much rather that the Three Realms have one more Chaos Immortal."

"Chaos Immortal?" The Sanqing Ones jumped up from their cloud beds in shock. "You mean World Realm being on the Qi Refining path!? Who is he?"

"Of course it's you, Master." Zhou Hao flipped his hand and took out a jade slip. "This is a set of the World Realm inheritance that I've memorized. It contains a Qi Refining Technique and God-Devil Body Refining Technique that directly lead to the World Realm."

"What!!?"

"A cultivation technique that directly points to the World Realm... and it includes both Qi Refining and Body Refining?" Sanqing looked at Zhou Hao in shock, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Master is a Chaos True God, so naturally I must prepare both cultivation methods." Zhou Hao handed the jade slip to the Sanqing Ones. "However, compared to the Qi Refining path, Master, you must first break through to the Ancestor God before you can become World God."

"Therefore, I think Master will first become Chaos Immortal." Zhou Hao looked at the Sanqing with a smile.

Seeing the excitement, joy, and emotion on my master's face...

He felt it was all worth it.

As for the powerful figures from the same faction launching an attack?

They're just a bunch of ants; it's just something to amuse themselves.
