Heavenly Emperor: Hurry to the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven and Summon the Great Heavenly Venerable!
Deep within the Land of Reincarnation.
Devil Ancestor and the Heavenly Abyss Ancestor watched everything unfold in the Nether Sea, especially when Di Jiang revealed his Hunyuan Wuji aura, a joyful smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.
"Fight, fight, the fiercer the better..."
The Devil Ancestor whispered, his voice full of amusement:
" Di Jiang, oh Di Jiang, I never imagined you would have such good fortune, drawing so much attention to me. At this moment, the entire Immortal Realm realm is captivated by you... Wonderful!"
He didn't care at all whether the Ancestral Witch really wanted to cooperate with him; in fact, he was happy to see it happen.
The more powerful the Ancestral Witch is, the greater the pressure on the Immortal Realm, the easier it is for internal conflicts to escalate, and the smoother his plans will be implemented.
" Heavenly Abyss."
The Devil Ancestor spoke:
The time has come!
While the attention of the Immortal Realm and the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace is diverted, immediately accelerate the erosion and theft of the remaining reincarnation authority!
"I will obey the decree of this deity!"
Heavenly Abyss Ancestor responded, his voice filled with suppressed excitement.
With the Nether Lord leading the main force of the Underworld out of the country, coupled with the turmoil caused by the ancient beings in the Land of Reincarnation, this is a golden opportunity for him to expand his territory and erode the power of reincarnation!
At the same time, Di Jiang appeared, and the ancient giants who had appeared earlier, such as Evil Qilin, also put away their arrogance and respectfully retreated to the side, giving the center stage completely to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Their eyes held reverence, but even more so, a sense of triumphant pride and anticipation.
Cooperate with the Devil Ancestor?
No, no, no, they certainly wouldn't cooperate with such creatures.
After all, they are beings from the Immortal Realm and have no intention of destroying the world; they are more interested in establishing their status.
His previous arrogance was both an outlet for his anger and a pledge of allegiance.
It's always better to cooperate with a "buddy" who's been in prison with you than to rely on the Heavenly Emperor.
Mystic Heaven Dao Palace.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged on the Chaos Azure Lotus, slightly opened his eyes, and a smile of interest curved his lips:
"Isn't this one of the legendary Twelve Ancestral Witches? Di Jiang... that's interesting."
"Using them as gatekeepers... seems a bit too much?"
He didn't feel too much pressure. Although the other party had been in the Hunyuan Wuji for much longer than him, strength was never determined by the length of time one had cultivated.
The opponent quietly stepped into the Hunyuan Wuji Realm in the Reincarnation Purgatory, which can be said to have been a unique achievement of the Wuji Realm.
"There must be some secret about this Di Jiang..."
Han Xuanji pondered silently.
Legend has it that in the ancient times, the Twelve Ancestral Witches led the Witch Race to live in the most prosperous region of the Immortal Realm. They were incredibly powerful, but still not satisfied, they attempted to enslave other races in the Immortal Realm to become the sole overlord of the Immortal Realm. This angered both the heavens and the people, and in the end, the Dao Ancestor intervened and forcefully suppressed them in the Reincarnation Purgatory.
However, Han Xuanji naturally knew more about the inside story than the legends suggested.
Simply put, might makes right, since even these ancient beings combined are no match for the Dao Ancestor.
At this very moment, in the Heavenly Court, in the High Heaven Hall.
Although they did not personally go to the Nether Sea, the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court clearly remembered everything that happened on the front lines.
When Di Jiang unleashed his aura, which surpassed the Hunyuan Taiji, without reservation, many immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court showed shock and a hint of panic.
Whether or not Hunyuan Wuji Realm makes a world of difference.
The sharp-eyed immortals noticed that even the Heavenly Emperor, seated on his throne, seemed to have a hint of sorrow in his eyes, which appeared to hold endless majesty.
" Di Jiang... he actually took that step."
The Heavenly Emperor outwardly showed little of his true thoughts, but inwardly he was filled with astonishment.
His fingertips tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the throne, producing a rhythmic, soft sound.
" The Witch Race has risen again, and their ambitions are far from insignificant. What they seek is not merely a small territory, but to regain control of the heavens and earth and restore the glory of the ancient Witch Race."
The Heavenly Emperor's gaze pierced through the layers of palaces, as if he could see the twelve majestic figures above the Sea of the Nether Sea.
He quickly weighed the options in his mind: Although the Heavenly Court was strong, with him in charge, the Circulating Heavenly Stars Grand Array, and numerous immortals and gods, the outcome was uncertain when facing an ancient being led by a Wuji with a luxurious lineup. Even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, severely damaging the Immortal Realm's vitality.
What's more troublesome is that with the Devil Ancestor by his side and the Lord of Myriad Voids yet to appear, a single move could affect the whole situation.
After pondering for a moment, the Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to turn to Han Xuanji for help once again.
"Quickly go to the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven and invite the Great Heavenly Venerable!"
"Haokong, could you please go there?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Li Haokong, who had previously shared a relationship with Han Xuanji, immediately rushed to the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven.
The Heavenly Emperor finally appeared in the sky above the Underworld Sea, confronting the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang.
There are not many disciples remaining at the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace now, only some young disciples whose cultivation is not yet sufficient.
"We implore the Great Heavenly Venerable to intervene and save the Immortal Realm from this perilous situation!"
Li Haokong's voice echoed outside the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace gate, carrying an obvious sense of urgency and pleading.
Outside the Dao Palace, Chaos air currents flowed slowly, forming a natural mist that separated the inside from the outside into two worlds, but it did not completely block the cry for help from entering.
Inside the Daoist palace, it was like a fairyland, with a babbling brook.
The disciples who remained behind were not skilled enough to participate in such a major battle that would shake the Immortal Realm.
They gathered on the cloud platform near the mountain gate, gazing curiously at the blurry figures outside.
" Li Haokong? Is he the Emperor Lord Haokong who once discussed the Dao with our senior brother?"
A young disciple dressed in blue robes with a handsome face recognized the newcomer. He was Gu Changge, Li Taiqing's junior disciple. He was exceptionally talented, especially skilled in alchemy. At a young age, his Dao of Alchemy skills were already unparalleled in his time. Therefore, although his cultivation was still shallow, he had a very high level of vision.
"It's him. It seems things have really gotten to the point of extreme urgency on the other side of the Nether Sea, that even a close advisor to the Heavenly Emperor like him has come personally to invite our Grandmaster."
A calm and collected disciple beside him spoke up; it was Zhou Li.
After joining the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace, he diligently cultivated, and even though his cultivation was sufficient to travel to the Nether Sea, he had no intention of joining the crowd.
To the surprise of the other disciples, Zhou Li's cultivation speed this week was astonishing, far exceeding that of the others.
Even Li Taiqing was secretly amazed, feeling that this fellow actually resembled his master somewhat.
The disciples whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity but not much panic.
In their hearts, their grandmaster Han Xuanji was beyond the immortal Immortal Realm and not subject to reincarnation; he was an omnipotent being.
Even the Devil Ancestor, who shook the Immortal Realm, was frightened away by a single glance from his master. What can a mere Ancestral Witch do now that she has risen again?
"But... our grandmaster is currently in seclusion."
A somewhat inexperienced Mystic Spirit Clan disciple asked in a low voice.
Gu Changge frowned slightly and looked up towards the deepest part of the Mystic Heaven Hall, which was shrouded in endless Daoist charm.
He whispered:
"Our grandmaster should be in the palace."
"However, Di Jiang's attainment of the Hunyuan Wuji was a momentous event that shook the Immortal Realm."
The Witch Race has made a powerful comeback, with great ambitions.
Although the Grandmaster is powerful, a single move can have far-reaching consequences. The Devil Ancestor is lurking in the shadows, and other powerful figures are also watching with covetous eyes.
The arrival of Emperor Lord Haokong likely signifies that His Heavenly Emperor finds the situation difficult and requires the Grandmaster to make a decision.
Gu Changge's words immediately drew nods of agreement from everyone:
"What Senior Brother Gu said is very true. Although we cannot be of great help, we cannot tarnish the reputation of the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace."
Should we invite Emperor Lord Haokong inside first and have him served tea in the side hall?
Zhou Li shook his head slightly and pointed in the direction of the Mystic Heaven Hall: "Look."
Following his gaze, everyone saw that the originally calm and flowing Daoist energy above the Mystic Heaven Hall was now rippling like a small pebble thrown into a calm lake.
An indescribable "intention," as if awakening from slumber, gently yet with unparalleled clarity enveloped the entire Dao Palace.
That was Han Xuanji's will.
He knew everything without needing to be informed.
