[The Year a Four Extremes Cultivator Tried to Seize an Emperor Weapon] (Bonus update!)

Using the Five Thunder Righteous Method, supplemented by Demon Emperor Essence Blood and medicinal herbs, Lin Xian broke into the Dao Palace Secret Realm and entered an entirely new world.

At this level, every movement he made embodied the Dao and its arts. Only now did he have something of an immortal's bearing; back in the Wheel of the Sea Secret Realm, he had been more like a martial fighter.

Time vanished in the mountains while millennia passed in the world outside. Lin Xian's cultivation advanced by the day, but just as he stabilized at the Dao Palace First Heaven, bad news arrived.

"The Ji Family, whose lineage stretches back to the Desolate Antiquity Era, has been making unusual moves. We suspect they may be preparing to attack us."

Yan Ruyu came to see Lin Xian in person, informing him of the situation and discussing how to resolve it.

"That's easily handled. What is a mere Ji Family to us?"

Lin Xian smiled calmly, brimming with confidence. "Let that Desolate Ancient Family come!"

A gleam appeared in Yan Ruyu's eyes, and she could not help asking, "What do you have in mind?"

"Go to the western side of the valley at once and invite Sage Tianxuan!" Lin Xian answered without the slightest hesitation.

Before the Crazy Old Man entered seclusion for his nirvana, they had to hurry and have this sage take action, establishing deterrence with an Emperor Weapon. Only then could the Azure Emperor's Remnant Lineage and the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Wasteland.

A sage as their hidden reserve and an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon—these two things were like nuclear weapons to the sacred lands and ancient families. They need not use them, but they absolutely could not do without them.
