The Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle, Everyone Harbored Ulterior Motives

The Northern Nether Dao Domain.

The Gu Clan.

The Dao Evolution Hall.

On the throne of the Sword Dao.

Gu Xuanjin slowly opened his eyes.

The violent presence around him gradually subsided.

The sharp intent that had churned and roiled like a sea of swords throughout the hall slowly dispersed as well.

Four months had passed.

Since he had gone to the Azure Radiance Dao Domain to attend the gathering of heavenly geniuses.

His greatest gains, aside from his name as the Divine Son resounding throughout the Three Thousand Dao Domains,

were that his cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Dao Integration Realm,

and that his mastery of the Law of the Sword Dao had risen to 72%.

Even some Supreme Realm powerhouses

did not have as much mastery over laws as he did.

A moment later,

Gu Xuanjin summoned Ji Song.

Ji Song had now broken through to Half-Step Quasi-Emperor.

All he lacked was an opportunity to break his shackles and step through the gates of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Sensing the keen, sharp presence that Gu Xuanjin had not fully restrained,

Ji Song laughed heartily. "Congratulations, Divine Son, on taking your cultivation to another level!"

Gu Xuanjin smiled faintly.

"Uncle Ji, have you heard about the Quasi-Emperor's legacy that has appeared in the Youxuan Dao Domain?"

Ji Song nodded slightly.

"I heard that this legacy

was left by the Heavenly Peng Demon King, a Peak Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Race from ten thousand years ago.

The Quasi-Emperor weapon he forged back then, the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle,

is very likely inside.

I reckon the Demon Race

will probably send some experts over to retrieve the Quasi-Emperor weapon as well."

The Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle

was filled with an empty void.

It contained fierce, overbearing Qi of Heavenly Gang and Qi of Earth Sha.

All things could be drawn into it.

If a living creature was drawn inside,

it would be unable to use any means whatsoever, including divine abilities and spells.

In less than a quarter of an hour,

its three souls and seven spirits, bones and flesh would be refined into a puddle of liquid.

It was an exceptionally vicious and formidable treasure.

"Since that Quasi-Emperor's legacy appeared in a domain of our human race,

that means it has an affinity with us.

If the Demon Race wants to take it back, how could it be that simple?"

Gu Xuanjin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Besides, if I remember correctly,

the top Demon Race power closest to the Youxuan Dao Domain

is the Myriad Demon Divine Court of the Heavenly Demon Dao Domain, isn't it?"

"You're right, Divine Son," Ji Song said with a soft chuckle.

Gu Xuanjin instructed him:

"Uncle Ji, bring some people. We'll go join the excitement too.

Perhaps the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle has an affinity with me

and will end up in my hands."

After Ji Song left,

Gu Xuanjin contacted Dugu Yunyan.

An image appeared in the space before him.

Looking at the young man in it, he asked calmly, "Have you found Fang Lingtian?"

Dugu Yunyan frowned and said gravely,

"I did find him.

But just as you said, original body, that kid is no simple character.

He's clearly just an ordinary person with utterly average talent.

At fifteen or sixteen, he was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm,

yet he could fight someone in the Mystic Pill Realm across a major realm.

And I secretly sealed off the space, intending to kill him on the spot,

but he took out a purple talisman and escaped directly, ignoring my spatial blockade."

This outcome was within Gu Xuanjin's expectations.

"I'll come to the Youxuan Dao Domain shortly.

You don't need to bother with Fang Lingtian for now.

Follow those people into the Quasi-Emperor's legacy first and look for opportunities."

Dugu Yunyan, however, shook his head.

"We can't get into the legacy for the time being.

Three or four local powers, including the True Martial Immortal Palace, have already arrived.

On the Demon Race's side, although only the Myriad Demon Divine Court and the Azure Hill Divine Mountain have arrived so far,

they've brought several Peak Quasi-Emperor powerhouses as well.

The higher-ups of these powers are still at an impasse there.

Neither side will let the other break the formation protecting the legacy."

"In that case, just act according to the situation."

After ending his connection with Dugu Yunyan,

Gu Xuanjin considered the grudge between Lü Yifei and the Myriad Demon Divine Court.

If things blew up,

the Quasi-Emperors of the other Demon Race powers would not stand by and watch.

And the True Martial Immortal Palace and the others might not necessarily step in to help.

Gu Xuanjin prepared to use overwhelming power to put pressure on them.

He summoned five mighty experts, each with a different bearing.

Besides the Ninth Elder, Gu Beimo, and the Attendant, Chu Xuheng,

there were also Gu Changqing, commander of the Divine Martial Guard; Qi Langtian, a guest elder; and Gu Qingyuan, the chief steward.

All five were supreme powerhouses at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

As long as no Great Emperor appeared, they were among the most powerful people in the world.

He could not openly take a Great Emperor with him,

because doing so would change the nature of the matter.

But just in case,

Gu Xuanjin still had a Great Emperor ancestor conceal himself in the shadows.

As long as no Great Emperor from the Demon Race descended,

the ancestor would not need to show himself.

Once everything was arranged,

Gu Xuanjin took them aboard his magnificent traveling palace.

They then went to the cross-domain teleportation array and headed for the Youxuan Dao Domain.

Inside the traveling palace,

Lü Yifei stood respectfully beside Gu Xuanjin's throne.

Gu Xuanjin said calmly, "The ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm. It seems you've recovered well during this time."

"It's all thanks to your support, Divine Son!"

Lü Yifei said with heartfelt gratitude.

During his time back at the Gu Clan,

whatever cultivation resources he needed,

he had never gone without, and everything he used was of the highest quality.

If not for Gu Xuanjin,

let alone recovering his cultivation,

he would probably still be wasting his years away in the Jade Lake Holy City, utterly at a loss.

Gu Xuanjin smiled faintly.

What he valued in Lü Yifei was precisely his deep sense of loyalty and affection.

"You should have heard about

the Quasi-Emperor's legacy in the Youxuan Dao Domain this time, right?

The people of the Myriad Demon Divine Court have already arrived.

The Third Prince who killed your childhood sweetheart and Dao companion has come too.

When the time comes, don't hold back. Go up and slaughter him.

As for their experts,

I'll have people hold them off for you.

If you still can't take your revenge, then it's no concern of mine."

"Thank you, Divine Son!

Rest assured, Divine Son, I won't let him leave the legacy alive!"

Lü Yifei could scarcely conceal his excitement.

The scene of his Dao companion being killed back then was frozen in his mind.

He could never forget it!

Killing intent gleamed in his eyes.

His grip on the Ghost God Sky Piercer gradually tightened.

The Youxuan Dao Domain.

The border of the Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom.

The dominant powers of the Youxuan Dao Domain, including the True Martial Immortal Palace,

and the two Demon Race powers, the Myriad Demon Divine Court and the Azure Hill Divine Mountain,

were still at an impasse

when the top human and Demon Race powers from other nearby domains began arriving one after another.

If things dragged on like this, more and more powers would come.

Whether human or demon,

both sides understood that there were too many monks and too little porridge.

So the human powers, including the True Martial Immortal Palace, stopped their standoff with the Demon Race powers

and began discussing how to divide the benefits.

But after a round of discussions, no one was satisfied.

In the end, they decided to break the formation and go inside first.

What each side could obtain would depend entirely on its own strength.

Relatively speaking, this was also the fairest outcome.

The four or five major powers on the Demon Race's side had already made up their minds.

Once they entered the legacy, they would first join forces to reclaim the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle.

It belonged to their Demon Race in the first place.

If it fell into human hands, not only would they lose face,

but it would also add to the human race's foundations for nothing.

That was something they did not want to see.

The human race had the same plan.

With the interests of the human race at stake,

they too had set aside their mutual grudges and joined forces.

Any one of their sides could obtain the Quasi-Emperor weapon, the Yin-Yang Mystic Gang Bottle.

But it could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Demon Race.
