“Lu Xuan, where in the hell did you send the Tianyuan Old Ancestor?”The Sect Master stormed into Lu Xuan’s cave dwelling. Seeing Lu Xuan lounging casually on a recliner, his face instantly darkened.He had arrived just one step too late, and the Tianyuan Old Ancestor had been teleported away!Seriously. What was the point of this damned array on Azure Mystery Peak?Lu Xuan slowly sat up. Chen Changsheng’s voice transmitted into his ear, relaying the full account of the accidental teleportation.Lu Xuan replied calmly, “No worries. These are just small matters.”The Sect Master inadvertently glanced at the books scattered on Lu Xuan’s table: Tang Song Eight Masters Cycling Map, Maiden Selfie Picture, Three Heroes Driving to Battle Lu Bu...Rage flared in his chest. “Where is the Tianyuan Old Ancestor now?”Lu Xuan shrugged. “The secrets of Heaven cannot be revealed.”The Sect Master was speechless.A silence fell.The Sect Master lowered his voice, asking tentatively, “Was this the intention of the White Robe Senior?”Lu Xuan pointed toward Chen Changsheng’s cave dwelling. “Yeah, he’s the one who did it.”The Sect Master frowned, sinking into deep contemplation.A moment later, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. “Could it be that the White Robe Senior did this intentionally?”Lu Xuan’s face twitched. My third disciple definitely did that on purpose, he thought internally, but he simply said, “He did it intentionally, yes.”The Sect Master didn't get angry; instead, he laughed. “Excellent! Truly excellent! The White Robe Senior would never act without purpose; there must be a profound, hidden meaning!”Lu Xuan was utterly speechless. That third disciple has no profound meaning whatsoever.Just then, Chen Changsheng, clad in a simple gray robe, stood at the entrance of Lu Xuan’s cave, feigning a look of utter confusion. “Master, did something happen?”Lu Xuan really wanted to kick Chen Changsheng. You’re still acting?The Sect Master recounted the incident to Chen Changsheng.Chen Changsheng looked slightly surprised, then said earnestly, “It seems that from now on, anyone in the sect who wishes to visit Azure Mystery Peak must notify Master in advance. Otherwise, accidents might occur.”The Sect Master nodded approvingly. “That is sound advice. I will immediately inform the sect elders and disciples of this matter.”*Above the Void.The Tianyuan Old Ancestor streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, leaving a trail of Divine Arc in his wake.Initially, the Tianyuan Old Ancestor was slightly excited, thinking the White Robe Great Emperor was playing a joke on him. But he soon realized he was being transported to an incredibly distant location.He had no idea where he was going.The mysterious array was constantly drawing power from his body to fuel its journey!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s gaze was profound, his mind racing. “This White Robe Daoist Friend is unfathomably deep. He wouldn’t transport me without reason. He must have another purpose!”An incense stick later, the Tianyuan Old Ancestor was still Traversing the Void.An hour later, he was still flying.A day later, the power of the array patterns on his body finally began to wane. He extended his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings. “Where is this place?”Boom!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor finally landed.He looked around. The sky was dark and lightless, the land desolate and broken. Mountain peaks had collapsed, rivers had dried up. This was a land of absolute desolation!The fundamental principles of Heaven and Earth had been stripped away. For hundreds of thousands of miles, it was a dead zone, devoid of any life force, appearing ancient and savage.The Tianyuan Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes, smiling. “White Robe Daoist Friend, where have you sent me? Which state in the Southern Wilds is this?”Boom!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor rose into the air, pulling out an Ancient Jade Slip. With a thought, a spiritual map of the Southern Wilds appeared.A moment later, the Tianyuan Old Ancestor knew where he was.This place was called Fuzhou, and this vast ruin was the former site of the Fuyao Dynasty!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s eyes burned brightly. “The White Robe Daoist Friend sending me to Fuzhou must hold deep significance.”He began to investigate, sweeping past the ruins of palaces.Suddenly, the wisp of Dao Rhyme of the Bronze Ancient Palace within his Storage Ring began to vibrate violently.“Hmm?” The Tianyuan Old Ancestor was astonished. He waved his sleeve and immediately retrieved the wisp of Dao Rhyme.Chii!Divine Radiance instantly burst forth from the Dao Rhyme in the Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s hand, shining like brilliant stars. The Dao Rhyme of the Bronze Ancient Palace resonated with this ruined land.Thousands of threads of golden light surged from the cracks in the void. The area around the Tianyuan Old Ancestor was filled with mysterious power, flowing like water, gentle like the spring breeze, yet perfectly aligned with the Dao of Heaven and Earth.Flames ignited in the Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s eyes, and his heart surged with emotion. “I searched high and low, only to find it effortlessly! The Bronze Ancient Palace is actually hidden within Fuzhou!”At this moment, the wisp of Dao Rhyme of the Bronze Ancient Palace began to transform, morphing into the shape of a token.The Bronze Token!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor held his breath, staring at the token before him.It was inscribed with endlessly complex and obscure Dao patterns. Every stroke seemed to be drawn by the hand of creation itself, profoundly mysterious, clearly surpassing the scope of the Emperor Realm.Lightning flashed through the Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s mind. According to the Grand Dao Sect’s ancient records, the Bronze Token was the only key to opening the Bronze Ancient Palace!Before long, the Bronze Token fully materialized and settled into the Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s hand.The Tianyuan Old Ancestor probed the depths of the void and finally detected a clue.The Bronze Ancient Palace had carved out its own small world and was hiding within Fuzhou!But when the Tianyuan Old Ancestor attempted to peer further, golden light filled the void above. A terrifying, overwhelming force crushed down on him. The Tianyuan Old Ancestor couldn't bear it, and blood streamed from his eyes.The Tianyuan Old Ancestor gave a wry smile. The Bronze Ancient Palace transcended the Emperor Realm too greatly; it was not something he could casually observe!Just then, a cold female voice entered the Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s mind. “In two months, the Bronze Ancient Palace will descend! It can be opened only with the Bronze Token! This news must be announced to all states in the Southern Wilds.”After the voice spoke, all traces of the Bronze Ancient Palace vanished from the void.Cold sweat broke out on the Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s brow. When he had tried to peek at the Bronze Ancient Palace just now, he had felt a profound, life-ending killing intent!That woman’s voice was too terrifying. A single word could decide his life or death!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor bowed respectfully toward the void. He quickly retreated from the area, still shaken and unable to calm down for a long time.He wondered internally: Who was that woman who spoke?A moment later, he shook his head. Such an existence was not for him to speculate upon.The Tianyuan Old Ancestor composed himself, his thoughts spinning. He couldn't help but sigh. “The White Robe Daoist Friend is truly a Divine Person!”As expected, sending him here was intentional on the White Robe Daoist Friend’s part!It seemed the White Robe Daoist Friend had known the Bronze Ancient Palace was hidden here all along.He must thank the White Robe Daoist Friend when he returned!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s gaze was profound. He felt increasingly unable to see through the White Robe Daoist Friend!Who exactly is this person?He had searched the Grand Dao Sect’s ancient texts, but no such individual was recorded!“It’s time to go back.”The Tianyuan Old Ancestor sighed softly, glancing back at the ruins of the Fuyao Dynasty. He suddenly thought of Ji Fuyao. “Hmm? What is Fuyao doing now? I should check.”He took out an ancient jade plaque from his robes. He changed the spiritual seals in his hand, and a brilliant light shone on the jade plaque, revealing a mark.It was Ji Fuyao’s mark!The Tianyuan Old Ancestor was surprised. “Fuyao is near Fuzhou, specifically in Liangzhou! I should take her back to the sect. With the Silent Destruction Sect's Bounty Order out, it’s not safe for her to be moving around outside.”With this thought, the Tianyuan Old Ancestor tore open the void and shot toward Liangzhou.The Tianyuan Old Ancestor was in high spirits.This time, the White Robe Daoist Friend had truly helped him greatly!He stroked his beard and chuckled. “The White Robe Daoist Friend is truly a Wondrous Person! It seems he gave me a mission: to bring Fuyao back. Hahahaha!”Liangzhou.*Ji Fuyao led her subordinates, driving their spirit boat through the void, tracing brilliant array patterns in their wake.“Crack!”“Boom!”The void tore, and space twisted.Ji Fuyao, clad in a fiery red dress, stood atop the spirit boat. The aura of the Quasi-Emperor Realm surged from her, vast as an ocean, with Dao Rhyme flowing like starlight. Her hair was crystalline, and she looked ethereal and sacred, like an immortal.Since stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, she could feel the power of the Dao Rhyme within her body, washing over her soul, flesh, and Hidden Acupuncture Points like flowing water.The Dao Rhyme within her body was now countless times stronger than it had been in her previous life!This, of course, was all thanks to her Master, Lu Xuan!It was only because she had consumed massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Wonders on Azure Mystery Peak that she possessed such a foundation and potential today!Just then, Wang Man and Qing Yan slowly approached Ji Fuyao, lowering their voices. “Empress, the number of high-star Great Emperors following us is increasing.”Killing intent surged around them!The numerous Fuyao Dynasty Dragon Guards felt a chill in their hearts.The moment the Silent Destruction Sect’s Bounty Order was issued, how many high-star Great Emperors had come to hunt the Empress?
