Myriad Souls and the Netherworld Set Out; Heavenly Feather True Lord's Plans

Half an hour later.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord and Xu Chuan stopped fighting almost simultaneously.

They stared at each other, remaining silent for a long time.

The surrounding Astral Wind gradually gathered again.

A short while later.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord spoke first, "Your strength is indeed very strong, and your potential is even above mine."

"To receive such Evaluation from Fellow Daoist Tiansha is my great fortune."

"Is it a good thing? Not necessarily." Heavenly Baleful True Lord said, "If you attempt to break through to the Spirit Transformation, people who have reached the Spirit Transformation will suddenly appear in the world."

Not just the strongest of our time.

Those High Antiquity relics won't let you have your way.

"So what? The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. Fellow Daoist Tiansha, will you give up completely just because there are obstacles in your way?"

"No." Heavenly Baleful True Lord smiled. "Your personality suits True Lord taste perfectly."

It's even very suitable for those who follow the Demonic Path.

"The righteous path and the Demonic Path are the same to me. Anyone who can help my Xu Household is a friend."

Those who block the way are the enemy.

"I wonder if the Heavenly Baleful Sect is willing to be a friend or an enemy of the Xu Household?"

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord did not respond directly, "It's a pity that you and I are not from the same generation."

Your life is just beginning, while ours is nearing its end.

"Just break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, isn't that enough?"

Haha~

"Fellow Daoist Kurong is right, breaking through to the Spirit Transformation is no problem at all!"

He looked at Xu Chuan and said, "I don't know whether the Heavenly Baleful Sect and your Xu Household are friends."

My only goal going forward is to achieve something.

"If the Xu Household has the ability to persuade the next leader of my Heavenly Baleful Sect, that's your Xu Household's ability."

"The world is unpredictable. Even the Ascension Gate will one day face destruction. What power in the world can last forever?"

It is said that when the Avatar reappears, the world will change drastically.

But with the chaos erupting, it's hard to say whether we can weather the storm.

Even those forces at the Nascent Soul and above will be the first to bear the brunt.

Some people don't want this day to come; they'd rather things stay the same forever.

But in True Lord opinion, this is not a way out either.

The longer it sits, the more it will gradually decay.

Xu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoist Tiansha is a wise man."

The world is like a sea of suffering, and all beings must struggle to cross it.

"What a profound truth: all living beings must strive to be saved!"

Heavenly Baleful True Lord laughed heartily, "This trip to Southern Heaven has not been in vain."

That concludes our discussion for today.

If the opportunity arises another day, let's fight it out again.

Mr. Xu looks forward to that day.

Without hesitation, Heavenly Baleful True Lord set off towards the Demon Nether Prefecture Escape Light.

"Should we go and test Demon Heaven in that Direction?"

Xu Chuan smiled slightly, "It's a pity that Jinghao's strength is still quite lacking."

If he reaches the Nascent Soul Perfection and is further blessed by the Fortune of the Imperial Dynasty's ruler, the gap between him and the Heavenly Baleful True Lord has accumulated over a thousand years, can be bridged.

However, it's not difficult to confuse them.

Xu Chuan turned and returned to the Withering-and-Blooming Courtyard.

A moment later.

Besides the Ghost Cultivator Avatar and Martial Way Avatar of the Blackwater Domain, there are also the Demon Cultivator Avatar of the Demon King Hall.

The rest all entered the Cave-Heaven.

"I'll handle it," Avatar the avatar. "Among the Avatar, I have the strongest control over the Life-and-Death Divine Ability."

He fought him with the first level of the Death Intent Divine Ability, then used the "Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner" and borrowed the Imperial Fortune.

At most, he'd only have doubts.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly. "He suspects quite a few people. I am one, Demon Heaven is another, as well as the old monster who has Spirit Transformation and those who have secluded themselves to cultivate."

Among them, the old monster who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage was the most suspicious, followed by Demon Heaven, and then myself.

Lastly, it's about others.

It's difficult to get him to give up his doubts, but as long as he can't kill Demon Heaven, he can only remain a doubter.

The "Black Tortoise Demon-Refining Painting" is temporarily entrusted to you; do not use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.

"I see."

Xu Chuan's true Avatar responded and then contacted Xu Mingxuan, instructing him to open Spatial Passageway.

The true Avatar descended directly upon the Heavenly Fortune Imperial Capital.

Four or five days later.

On the streets of the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty.

After the arrival of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord, he still observed first.

According to the information obtained from White Jade Capital, the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty was created using the methods of the High Antiquity Fortune Dynasty.

One can receive Fortune.

But White Jade Capital had no information on exactly how much his strength could be improved.

However, the "White Jade Capital" remains shrouded in mystery.

It's unclear whether it was created by Spirit Transformation or by some other faction.

The Elder Nether Crow has only appeared in the Blackwater Domain once or twice, and is very likely Avatar of some ancient monster.

"Did they sense something, which is why they've become more active?"

Tiansha made this guess because of Xu Han.

To subdue Transforming Great Demon containing the Bloodline of Ancient True Spirit, one must be a whole Cultivation Realm higher than it.

Otherwise, even he wouldn't be confident in subduing the High Antiquity raven in its Transformation Early Stage.

"One secret after another, and I don't even know when it started."

In a day or two, he gained a general understanding of the Heavenly Fortune Imperial Capital.

"It's not as stable as Yunxi, but it still maintains a certain level of order. In essence, it's still about the strong oppressing the weak."

However, unlike other cultivators, all of them carried the sword of the Imperial Dynasty law hanging over their heads.

With the backing of the Demon Heaven Trading Company and the suppression of Nascent Soul experts, even Golden Core dare not easily offend them.

Currently, the situation appears relatively stable.

But who knows what will happen a thousand or two centuries from now.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord was stopped when he went to the Inner City.

He then casually killed the guard.

Those who were still alive sent messages.

In an instant.

Many Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul rushed to the Inner City.

But no one dared to make a move.

Xu Jinghao and the White Bone High Person arrived here.

White Bone High Person glanced at the two dead Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, whose wounds emanated extremely pure Sha Qi.

"I have seen demonic cultivators who cultivate Sha Qi Devil Cultivator before, but this is the first time I have ever seen such pure Sha Qi."

His gaze turned serious as he said, "Perhaps only the Heavenly Baleful Sect of the Blackwater Domain possesses such a powerful expert with Sha Qi."

"You have a good eye, but you're being secretive... Hmm, your aura is a bit unusual."

He doesn't seem like a true monk.

This is similar to the Ghost Cultivator and Corpse Cultivator that I, the True Lord, have killed before.

Who are you?

"I am the White Bone High Person."

Never heard of it.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord then looked at Xu Jinghao beside him.

His intuition told him that this person was no ordinary individual.

There was a power within him that seemed to suppress the Sha Qi within him.

"You are young, yet your Cultivation Realm is quite high; you must be Imperial Lord You Hao."

Who are you?

"Bring your Master out. You're still a bit too early to think you can be on equal footing with True Lord."

"How dare you speak to the Emperor like that!"

Several Peak Golden Core cultivators rebuked them.

Without uttering a word, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord's eyes were cold. He raised his hand and condensed a giant palm of Sha Qi, grabbing at the Peak Golden Core cultivators.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure permeated the air.

Everyone was horrified; the weaker ones were even overwhelmed by the oppressive aura and wanted to kneel down.

"Stop!"

Xu Jinghao shouted loudly, and a sound like Dragon's Roar's roar emanated from his body.

The next moment.

Everyone felt the oppressive pressure above their heads disappear.

But the Sha Qi hand still reached out to grab those Golden Core cultivators.

The White Bone High Person made a move.

The bone whip transformed into a giant White Bone serpent tens of meters long, coiling around the Sha Qi palm and blocking it.

"Get back now!"

Xu Jinghao reprimanded those Peak Golden Core cultivators.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still in the process of Fortune their debts over a century, he would have preferred to see them Life and Death.

Xu Jinghao's aura suddenly surged, and he also made a move, continuing, "Except for the Grand Commandant, everyone else should retreat into the Imperial Capital."

Otherwise, if you die, I will not pay you any attention.

The others immediately did as instructed.

Dragon scales appeared on Xu Jinghao's arms, and he clenched his fist into the shape of a dragon claw, grabbing at the palm of Sha Qi.

Boom!

The Sha Qi palm was shattered on the spot.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord said calmly, "Easily advancing from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage to the Late Stage, this Dao of Fortune is indeed remarkable."

At that very moment.

A voice came from inside.

"Heavenly Baleful True Lord, you are supposed to be the strongest in the Blackwater Domain. How dare you bully a junior? Have you no shame?"

The Demon Heaven Lord flew out from somewhere within the Imperial Capital.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord soared into the sky, confronting him in Kongxiang.

"Speaking recklessly deserves punishment, don't you think, Demon Heaven Fellow Daoist?"

"Master."

"Your Excellency."

Xu Jinghao and the White Bone High Person both bowed.

The Demon Heaven Lord nodded slightly. "You should all step back. The other side is not friendly."

It's difficult for either of you to get involved.

"Yes."

The two then retreated into the Imperial Capital.

Black lightning flashed in the Demon Heaven Lord's eyes, "If you want to fight, this Lord will oblige."

"Let's fight in the sky!"

The Demon Heaven Lord quickly ascended into the air and then left the area City-Protecting Grand Formation.

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Baleful True Lord as he gave chase.

The two fought using Divine Ability powers.

"It really is the Death Intent Divine Ability, but its power..."

59

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord began to exert pressure.

The Demon Heaven Lord was quickly at a disadvantage, but then he flipped his hand and the "Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner" appeared in his palm.

"The 'Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner'? No, it has a similar aura, but it's not the one from the Heavenly Ghost Sect!"

Heavenly Baleful True Lord was somewhat surprised.

All ghosts gathered, condensing into the Ten-Thousand-Ghost Dharma Form.

Although this was not cultivated by oneself, relying on the power of the Law Treasure, it was no less powerful than the Dharma Form Phantom.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord also used his Dharma Form to resist.

"The Death Intent Nether Python!"

The Demon Heaven Lord used his Spiritual Consciousness Secret Art.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord's Sea of Consciousness was in turmoil, but he quickly withstood it and activated his Law Treasure to counterattack.

Boom!

The Demon Heaven Lord was forced back, and his Ten-Thousand-Ghost Dharma Form was also slightly inferior, retreating several steps.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord showed no joy; instead, his brows furrowed.

"This person is not weak, but he is somewhat inferior to Zhang Fan."

His strength is slightly inferior to that of the person who ambushed me last time.

The difference lies in Divine Ability Power and Cultivation Realm.

He probably hasn't reached the Nascent Soul Perfection yet.

Was it a deliberate disguise? Or did he inherit a similar legacy from that person?

"As expected of the number one person in the Blackwater Domain, I admit you are very strong, but you came to my Demon Nether Prefecture to cause trouble."

You alone are not enough to look at.

"Come forth, Profound Yin Corpse King, Blood Baleful Ghost King!"

The Demon Heaven Lord summoned the two.

The Blood Baleful Ghost King transformed into Ghost Creature and rushed into the "Ten-Thousand-Soul Banner," greatly increasing its power.

"Fourth-Tier Late Stage Corpse King and Ghost King, thanks to the Demon Heaven Fellow Daoist, who is proficient in both Refined Corpse and ghost refining techniques."

"This time, I, the True Lord, am not here to cause trouble. If you answer three questions for me..."

This True Lord will not linger and will leave immediately.

The Demon Heaven Lord's expression showed struggle, and after a moment he said, "You speak."

"Have you ever tried to intercept or kill this True Lord?"

"This is my first time meeting you, how could I possibly attempt to ambush you?" Demon Heaven Lord frowned.

Where did you get your Death Intent Divine Ability?

"It was an accidental find; I can't disclose the specifics."

Do you have a teacher?

"Unaffiliated with any sect or faction."

"Demon Heaven Fellow Daoist, do you dare to swear an oath with your Daoheart?" Heavenly Baleful True Lord stared at him and asked.

"Heavenly Baleful True Lord, do you think you're invincible? Do you think that just because I'm cooperating, you can bully me at will?"

If you want war, then let's fight!

"If you can kill me, you can search the entire Demon Nether Prefecture as you please!"

The Demon Heaven Lord sneered, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord glanced at the Profound Yin Corpse King, the Blood Baleful Ghost King, Xu Jinghao, and the White Bone High Person.

Excluding the Demon Heaven Lord, there are four powerful Great Cultivator.

The Heavenly Fortune Dynasty's foundation far surpasses that of top-tier forces. Even though the number of other Nascent Soul is relatively small, its overall strength is in no way inferior to that of a hegemon.

He might be able to wipe out a weaker top Nascent Soul power cultivator on his own, but he has absolutely no hope of dealing with the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty.

Moreover, he had heard that the Demon Heaven Lord also possessed Spirit Treasure, which was the strongest Spirit Treasure in the Northwest.

To outsiders, the Three Great Factions in the Northwest appear to be closely allied.

The Xu Household and the Mysterious Moon Sect will never sit idly by and watch the Heavenly Fortune Dynasty be destroyed.

"This person's Divine Ability abilities match the description; his Cultivation Realm and Divine Ability Power can be concealed, making him the most suitable candidate at present."

The probability is even higher than Xu Chuan's.

But this personality is completely different from the one he fought last time.

That person was more cunning, adaptable, and resourceful.

Such abilities as the Death Intent Divine Ability mostly originated from High Antiquity powerful figures, so it's not impossible that they could be obtained by many people.

Hundred Witherings Venerable also said that there are still quite a few Spirit Transformation left from High Antiquity, and it is not uncommon for some of them to possess the Death Intent Divine Ability.

That's enough.

That person will likely make another move; next time, we'll definitely find his weakness.

"Demon Heaven Fellow Daoist has a truly fiery temper. True Lord was just joking. If you are unwilling, I will not force you."

However, the person who intercepted me was also skilled in the Death Intent Divine Ability, and their Divine Ability Power even greater.

Only then did True Lord begin to have doubts.

However, your personality is completely opposite to the impression he gave me. Perhaps he deliberately displayed his Death Intent Divine Ability to lure me to you, fellow Daoist.

"Death Intent Divine Ability even stronger than mine?" The Demon Heaven Lord frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

"Demon Heaven Fellow Daoist, do you have any clues? If you are willing to tell me, this True Lord will surely reward you handsomely."

"No."

The Demon Heaven Lord said decisively.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord's eyes lit up. "Even if it wasn't him, he should know something."

"Fellow Daoist, do you truly not know?"

"I don't know, and I don't know. You won't get anything out of me no matter how much you ask."

"Very well, True Lord will not insist. I have disturbed you today, farewell."

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord immediately departed.

Seeing it disappear into the horizon, the Demon Heaven Lord returned to the Imperial Capital to enter seclusion.

There was much discussion in Heavenly Fortune City.

The news quickly spread to Cloudbrook City and Mysterious Moon City.

In particular, the arrival of the first person from the Blackwater Domain in the Northwest caused a great stir.

It even spread rapidly to various parts of Southern Heaven.

Originally, only top-tier forces knew about it, but now even Ordinary Golden Core cultivators have heard the news.

Opinions were divided for a time.

They all speculated about the purpose of Heavenly Baleful True Lord's visit to Southern Heaven.

Some say it's for a Secret Realm in the Northwest.

Some say it was to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, travel across the Southern Heaven, and temper State of Mind.

Some say it was to pay homage to the Withered Glory True Lord.

After the battle of Heavenly Fortune City, the Heavenly Baleful True Lord disappeared without a trace, and there has been no news of him since.

He himself hid in Heavenly Fortune City.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Capital also had Grand Formation -Fourth-Tier High-Grade, so he couldn't break in and could only monitor from the outside.

Unfortunately, the Demon Heaven Lord seemed to have disappeared after that day.

He later found out after making inquiries.

The Demon Heaven Lord is inherently mysterious, rarely appearing in public, and almost always in seclusion.

This has been the case since the era of the Demon Heaven Trading Company.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord ultimately gave up and Teleportation Southern Region.

He planned to go to the Azure Cloud Sect to see Qingjun's swordsmanship once again.

Sparring with other strong opponents of the same level would also benefit him.

Besides, it also allows us to get a feel for their current situation.

Far away in the Blackwater Domain.

White Jade Capital has begun selling information about the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

This immediately attracted the attention of many forces.

However, the information is expensive.

Even simple, basic information costs tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, while a slightly more detailed version costs hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

The top powers all bought one copy.

Corpse Yin Sect.

The True Lord Jueyin delivered the message to the Netherworld True Lord.

After reading it, the Netherworld True Lord showed no surprise. "Fellow Daoist Tiansha remains as straightforward as ever, treating others as if they don't exist."

"Senior brother, Heavenly Baleful True Lord must have gone to Southern Heaven because of Xu Chuan's news, right?"

"It should be one of them."

"Senior brother, are you going?"

"The Xu Household is trying to use someone else to do their dirty work. Do you think I should go?"

The True Lord Jueyin trembled slightly, then immediately said, "Everything will naturally be as Senior Brother wishes."

"After decades of arduous cultivation, it's time to go out and explore. From now on, I'll leave the sect's affairs to Corpse Soul."

"Yes."

After a few breaths of silence True Lord Jueyin responded.

On the other side.

The Old Man Myriad Souls also decided to go to Southern Heaven.

The Joyous Union Sect.

Meiji secretly traveled to "White Jade Capital" to inquire why they were selling information about the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

"Senior Meiji, this is an order from above; I'm only responsible for running it."

"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Heavenly Baleful Sect?"

"It doesn't matter if a mere branch is destroyed; I, White Jade Capital, will have the power to retaliate."

"Counterattack?"

"Naturally, it's not a literal retaliation. I, White Jade Capital, have mastered many secrets of the Heavenly Baleful Sect."

That's enough to give them a headache for a while.

"You guys are really not afraid of death."

"Selling information is like this, but as long as we know our limits, no one will easily target us."

"Yes, White Jade Capital is no longer someone that any power can simply mess with."

Meiji said calmly, "You should think it through yourselves. If you clash with the Heavenly Baleful Sect, my Joyous Union Sect cannot provide any assistance."

"I understand."

Heavenly Baleful Sect.

The Council Hall.

Many Nascent Soul demanded that the "White Jade Capital" of Heavenly Baleful City be destroyed first as a lesson.

Xu Dewen looked at the message and remained silent.

Primordial Baleful looked at him and said, "Junior Brother Xuan Sha, you are now the person in charge of my Heavenly Baleful Sect."

What do you think is the best way to handle this?

Xu Dewen looked up and said, "I've seen the message. Although it revealed the sect leader's whereabouts, it didn't involve any secrets."

This, in turn, allowed us to learn about the recent situation of our sect leader.

I think a simple warning will suffice.

Or make a deal with them.

If we force a conflict, have you all forgotten the Elder Nether Crow from decades ago?

You want me to forcibly summon Seven Kills Brother Qi Sha and Senior Brother Ye Ming to emerge from seclusion and besiege "White Jade Capital"?

Even if it were possible, it would only wipe out the branch.

It won't cause much loss.

Instead, it pushed them towards hostility.

"So what if we're enemies?" a Nascent Soul from the Earthly Fiend Peak retorted, "Does Junior Brother Xuan Sha really think our Heavenly Baleful Sect can't be destroyed?"

"If you, senior brother, just tell me the details of 'White Jade Capital,' the location of its headquarters, and how many powerful figures it has."

I immediately risked being scolded and asked them to leave the area.

"I..

"Junior Brother Xuan Sha is right, 'White Jade Capital' is not simple, we don't even know what his background is."

Taking action rashly would be unwise.

"What should we do then?"

"Should we join forces with other factions to put pressure on him and stop him from selling such information?"

"The information is the foundation of 'White Jade Capital,' and this move is tantamount to undermining their very foundation."

Xu Dewen said, "I'm afraid that by then, the secrets of the four overlords will be known to the whole world."

How many secrets can the tiny "White Jade Capital" know?

"Do you know about the sect leader's situation in Southern Heaven? They even managed to get this."

They are either connected to the forces in Southern Heaven, or they themselves span Two Domains.

If it really comes to that...

It might cause quite a bit of trouble.

Many Nascent Soul elders agreed.

"They sell information in exchange for Spirit Stone; it seems we have no choice but to trade with them."

"Someone said helplessly."

"I, the True Lord, will personally go to Heavenly Baleful City" White Jade Capital | to settle this matter first.

Afterwards, the sect leader will return from Southern Heaven and make the decision.

"Can!"

I second that!

"Thank you for your trouble, Junior Brother Xuan Sha."

Xu Dewen went there once and returned to report the result.

The Heavenly Baleful Sect spent two million Spirit Stone to directly buy out the follow-up information on the Heavenly Baleful True Lord, preventing him from publicly selling it to other forces.

As for the current situation, the news has spread and can no longer be concealed.

Fortunately, there was no secret, and the Heavenly Baleful Sect did not pursue the matter further.

Xu Dewen made a round of transactions, transferring money from one pocket to another, and pocketed two million in private accounts.

After all, he was the highest-ranking official of "White Jade Capital" in the Blackwater Domain.

Heavenly Baleful True Lord and Qingjun publicly clashed.

That battle attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

The two fought for several hours, neither gaining the upper hand, and finally ended in a draw, after which the Heavenly Baleful True Lord departed.

After he left, he went to the Ascension Gate.

That battle was even more intense than the one against Qingjun.

They fought for a full day and night.

Both sides eventually even used their Spirit Treasure, and the power generated by the collision tore through space.

Xu Chuan sent his Mystic Spirit Avatar to follow him and witnessed his battle with Qingjun and Heavenly Feather True Lord.

"You have indeed broken through, even faster than I expected." Heavenly Baleful True Lord held a Dark Gold Law Seals in his hand.

A Flood Dragon, condensed from Sha Qi, coiled around the seal's body.

"What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist Tiansha?" Heavenly Feather True Lord asked, frowning.

Do you know why I came to Southern Heaven?

"Someone told me that you, fellow Daoist, are about to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."

Once the bottleneck to the Spirit Transformation stage is broken, one can draw upon the Heaven-and-Earth Origin Power.

However, how much it can evoke depends on your understanding of it.

"With your Talent, fellow Daoist, you must be quite good."

"Who said that?" A cold glint flashed in Heavenly Feather True Lord's eyes.

"Tianyu, why don't you take a guess?"

He closed his eyes in thought, then slowly opened them after a moment, gritting his teeth as he said, "Xu Chuan!"

"Tianyu seems to know him very well."

"No, Fellow Daoist Tiansha, you are wrong. I cannot see through him at all, nor do I know his current strength."

He will only show you what you want to see.

If he bares his fangs, it means your path has come to an end.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord remained silent.

"It is said that the Xu Household has not dared to make any rash moves for the past hundred years because of the Spirit Transformation Venerable behind my Ascension Gate."

I did ask that senior to mediate, but I thought the other party wouldn't give face to Spirit Transformation.

The result was a reply that they would not launch a preemptive attack on my Ascension Gate within the next hundred years.

However, while the Xu Household did not openly attack, they secretly cultivated the Mysterious Spirit Sect.

Currently, many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Central Region are siding with the Mysterious Spirit Sect, just waiting for my Ascension Gate to collapse so they can take its place.

As for the Xu Household themselves, and the entire Northwest, they were recuperating and rebuilding.

They are waiting, waiting to bare their final fangs at my Ascension Gate.

"Since Tianyu sees things so clearly, why not unite with other forces to deal with this?"

Heavenly Feather True Lord sneered, "Fellow Daoist, don't you find these words laughable?"

Until the very last moment, who would help me Ascension Gate without any benefit to themselves?

For example, you, fellow Daoist, were swayed by Xu Chuan's words, so you're here just to watch the show, aren't you?

If necessary, they might intervene to stop me.

They would even be happy for the destruction of my Ascension Gate, for the sake of the future of Two Domains.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. This True Lord would never stoop to such a thing!"

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord's expression remained calm, unchanged from before.

"Whatever you say, fellow Daoist, I don't care now, but compared to my Ascension Gate..."

The Xu Household will cause you countless times more trouble in the Blackwater Domain.

Because you never know what they're hiding.

Just like the last major battle that affected the entire Northwest, many cultivators died.

But almost everyone was kept in the dark.

Otherwise, how could we lure the Ascension Gate and the Su Household into this trap?

"I have gained much from my conversation with you today, fellow Daoist. I wish you all your wishes come True Lord."

"Thank you for your kind words, fellow Daoist." Heavenly Feather True Lord said, "Fellow Daoist, please leave."

After today, I plan to completely close the mountain.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord's eyes flickered, he clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then left.

"Heavenly Feather True Lord's words were seven parts sincere and three parts feigned, but they were not wrong."

The harm caused by the Xu Household to the Blackwater Domain is several times greater than that caused by the Ascension Gate.

Xu Chuan is the only one I can't completely understand.

"No, and that Demon Heaven Lord, he gives me a strange feeling too."

Heavenly Baleful True Lord could never have imagined that half of the entire Northwest had already been infiltrated by the Xu Household.

The so-called Heavenly Fortune Dynasty is essentially a group formed by the Xu Household.

As Xu Chuan's Cultivation Realm reached perfection, his Avatar was reforged, and his Divine Ability grew stronger and stronger.

The Heavenly Fortune Dynasty alone has already surpassed the Mysterious Moon Sect and is no less powerful than the other Dominant Faction.

Not to mention the Demon King Hall and the Nine Dragons Mountain, which they've courted.

Now, the Demon King Hall has gained three more Transforming Great Demon, bringing the total number of palace masters to twelve.

One of them was even Crow Daoist in the Transformation Late Stage.

Heavenly Feather True Lord said is actually quite right.

When the Xu Household truly bares its fangs, that will be the end of that power.

He wanted to change his fate by attempting to reach the Spirit Transformation stage.

But I also know that the hope is slim.

Therefore, the attack on the Spirit Transformation was a play he orchestrated.

Success would bring everything to a good end, while failure would only serve to bring the Azure Cloud Sect, Void Clarity Sect, and others closer to him, so that they could work together to counterbalance the Xu Household.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord was merely a casual move he made.

Whether or not he is involved in the Southern Heaven incident, it will not have a significant impact on him.

Anyone with a brain would know that keeping the Ascension Gate to counter the Xu Household is the best option.

Neither the Void Clarity Sect nor the Azure Cloud Sect had enough personal grudges to take action against the Xu Household.

If there is any unfounded targeting, the Xu Household will inevitably retaliate.

That would leave very little room for maneuver.

Neither the Void Clarity Sect nor the Azure Cloud Sect is confident in dealing with the current Xu Household on their own.

Heavenly Feather True Lord was a man of outstanding talent.

He knew Xu Chuan must have a trump card, but he could never guess how deep Xu Chuan was.

He will lose the same way he lost last time.

The difference is that after this time, Xu Chuan will not give him a third chance.

The Battle of Ascension Gate Sect.

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord has once again vanished, hiding in the Featherfall City.

The complete closure of the Ascension Gate has also sparked much discussion.

Some say that Heavenly Feather True Lord was injured in a battle with Heavenly Baleful True Lord, which is why he chose to completely close the mountain for a period of time.

More than two months.

The Netherworld True Lord and the Old Man Myriad Souls entered the Featherfall City one after the other.

A month and a half later.

They discovered each other's whereabouts.

Unlike Xu Chuan, who is skilled in concealment, it is difficult for him to evade the Divine Sense detection of experts of the same realm.

"What brings you two fellow Daoists here as well?"

Yunxian Tavern.

There were three people, each sitting at one of the three tables.

A burly middle-aged man, an elderly man with gray hair, and a young man in a black robe.

The three of them had their backs to them, and their lips moved up and down, but no one could hear them.

The young man in black robes said, "I didn't intend to come, but I unexpectedly heard about your deeds in the Blackwater Domain not long ago."

"My deeds? Fellow Daoist Netherworld, what are you talking about?"

The gray-haired old man said, "White Jade Capital, I don't know where he got the information, that he's selling your experiences in Southern Heaven."

There are two versions: a simple one and a detailed one.

However, it seems that your Heavenly Baleful Sect bought out the remaining information, so it no longer leaked out.

"White Jade Capital, you really have some nerve."

"Fellow Daoist Tiansha?" Netherworld True Lord said, "Don't worry, it's not some secret."

That's not what I meant.

"What is it?"

The Heavenly Baleful True Lord did not say anything more.

He suspected that the person who ambushed him was the Elder Nether Crow, but the Elder Nether Crow's identity was also a mystery.

"White Jade Capital" is a clue, and we still need to investigate it thoroughly when we get back.

And the Joyous Union Sect, they should know something.

If we can figure out who's behind White Jade Capital, perhaps many things will be easily resolved.

"Let's not talk about that. Are you two also waiting here for Heavenly Feather True Lord to break through to the Nascent Spirit Transformation?"

However, there is no exact timeframe.

"Fellow Daoist Tiansha Sha has fought with Tianyu, so he knows better than we do."

"I'm too lazy to think too much about it; I'll just follow you, fellow Daoist," said the Old Man Myriad Souls.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, if you don't mind, you might as well tell me about Tianyu?" Netherworld True Lord also spoke up.

"Why would I, the True Lord, do something that offers no benefit whatsoever, when you two are trying to get something for nothing?"

You are welcome to launch a raid on the Ascension Gate Sect.

Perhaps you'll even be able to fight him and figure out his true strength.

"Fellow Daoist Tiansha is truly heartless."

"This is True Lord. Do you two wish to have a great battle with me here?"

Neither the Old Man Myriad Souls nor the Netherworld True Lord spoke further.

However, they did not leave, but instead planned to follow the Heavenly Baleful True Lord.

This is a gamble on what the Heavenly Baleful True Lord knows.

For them, staying in Featherfall City for a year or two is nothing special.

The Ascension Gate.

Tianyu cave abode.

"Senior brother, the situation is getting more and more complicated. Are you really planning to break through to the Spirit Transformation next year? Are you confident?"

"Give me another ten or twenty years, and I'm confident," said Heavenly Feather True Lord.

"Then why..."

Do you think the Xu Household will give us that much time? There must be another purpose behind this so-called century-long period.

It certainly wasn't because of Venerable Wuchen.

Therefore, I must attempt to reach the Nascent Spirit Transformation before the centennial deadline.

I have now grasped 18% of the Power of Heaven and Earth, so it is not entirely hopeless.

Even if we fail, it doesn't matter, based on the records and speculations of our sect's predecessors.

The Tribulation Lightning will only erupt when the Dharma Form is close to successful condensation; it is a test from the Heavenly Dao.

Even if the Tribulation Lightning doesn't strike and my attempt fails, the damage won't be too severe.

At that time, if the Xu Household were to make a move, it would inevitably provoke resistance from others.

The Azure Cloud Sect and Void Clarity Sect have been watching the show for so long; it's time for them to experience what it's like to stand on the opposite side of the Xu Household.

If we don't unite to suppress the Xu Household soon, we, the veteran powerhouses, will be left to die.

There was truly no force left in Southern Heaven that could stop the Xu Household.
