“So, where are these people you called?”
At Lu Xuan’s words, the Demon Court’s Quasi-Dao Supremes trembled. Lu Xuan was like the Grim Reaper himself, capable of sealing their fates with a single word!
Feng Tianxiao’s face twisted into a grimace. “They’re… on their way.”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor suddenly frowned. “Don’t tell me you called the Supreme Profound Sect?”
Feng Tianxiao hesitated, then nodded. “Indeed.”
Lu Xuan’s lips curved slightly. This piqued his interest. He was curious to see what kind of peerless beauty this Ancestor Liu Ruyan possessed that could make the Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor, Dao Yi, so utterly infatuated when the Supreme Profound Sect performed their Summon Ancestor technique.
The Green-skirted Girl sighed softly. She mused that if Dao Yi had attained Supreme back then, the Southern Wilds might not be in its current state.
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor asked Feng Tianxiao, “The Supreme Profound Sect’s leader this time is Ancestor Yetian, right?”
Feng Tianxiao replied, “Precisely.”
Lu Xuan paused, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. Yetian? The name sounded familiar. He settled back into his recliner and pointed at Feng Tianxiao. “Send a message to Yetian. Tell him to hurry up!”
Feng Tianxiao’s face twitched. “Understood.”
The other Demon Court Quasi-Dao Supremes dared not show anger, nor utter a word. Only Lu Xuan would be so brazen!
Feng Tianxiao produced an Ancient transmission jade slip, activating his divine sense to contact Yetian. “What is it?” Yetian’s voice echoed.
“How much longer until you arrive?” Feng Tianxiao asked.
Yetian’s voice was cold. “One incense stick’s time. What, is your Demon Court not planning to fight? Once I’ve annihilated the Grand Dao Sect, your Demon Court, Dark Shadow Island, and Silent Destruction Sect can all get out of the Inner Starry Sky.” With that, Yetian abruptly cut off the transmission.
Feng Tianxiao sullenly put away the jade slip and reported to Lu Xuan, “One incense stick’s time left.” “Good,” Lu Xuan said. He would calmly await the Supreme Profound Sect’s arrival.
He turned to the Green-skirted Girl. “Little Qing, my shoulders are a bit sore from all the fighting. Give me a rub.”
The Green-skirted Girl froze. What?! How dare Lu Xuan order her around like that? Unbelievable!
Chen Changsheng wanted to speak but held his tongue. He could tell the Heavenly Dao was holding back, not erupting. But his master was treating the Heavenly Dao like this—surely she’d explode eventually!
Lu Xuan said faintly, “About that Lower Origin Star Core…”
Hearing this, the Green-skirted Girl touched her small canine tooth, then moved behind Lu Xuan. Her delicate, fair hands began to massage his shoulders.
Chen Changsheng was astonished. Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others exchanged glances, speechless. Lu Xuan was simply divine! To have the Heavenly Dao itself rub his shoulders—he was undoubtedly the first in the Tai Chu Realm to achieve such a feat! Unprecedented, and never to be repeated!
Lu Xuan lay back, thoroughly enjoying himself, humming softly. “Not bad, not bad at all.”

Far off in the starry sky. The Supreme Profound Sect’s Ancient Spirit Shuttle, like a vast, elongated Great Domain, tore through the void. Wherever it passed, the starry sky reflected its brilliance, like burning stars, moving with incredible speed.
Yetian, clad in purple robes, stood atop the Ancient Spirit Shuttle. Endless Dao Patterns surged beneath his feet, his gaze burning with ambition. “Once the Grand Dao Sect is annihilated, it’ll be time to clear the area.”
A grey-robed Old Ancestor behind him chimed in, “Indeed. The Supreme Fruit Position of this era also belongs to our Supreme Profound Sect!”
Yetian nodded. “Now that our Ancestor has manifested, Nangong Baixue has already obtained the Ancestor’s ultimate inheritance. Heaven bless our Supreme Profound Sect!”
The grey-robed Old Ancestor added, “This matter seems to be predestined.”
Everyone nodded. Ancestor Liu Ruyan had possessed the Primordial Yin Body, and Nangong Baixue possessed it as well. Both their Dao Companions hailed from the Grand Dao Sect! The karma of this Ancient opportunity had intertwined across endless epochs! If Ancestor Liu Ruyan could Sever Dao using the Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor, then Nangong Baixue could certainly Sever Dao using Ye Chen!
Everyone felt utterly smug. Feng Tianxiao seeking their aid was clear proof of the Demon Court’s decline! With the Demon Court falling, the Supreme Profound Sect was destined to rise!
A moment later, the grey-robed Old Ancestor spoke, “Yetian, we still need to be cautious. After all, even the Demon Court is hesitant to fight. The Grand Dao Sect might have some unknown trump cards left by Ancestor Dao Yi!”
The other Old Ancestors nodded in agreement. The Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor was indeed worthy of being called the “Southern Wilds’ Number One” of his era! He had swept all rivals of his time! Even the Grand Dao Sect’s Yin Soldiers showed it; their Dao Patterns were several times stronger than those of their Ancestor Liu Ruyan’s Yin Soldiers! It was truly astonishing! Ancestor Liu Ruyan had warned them to be wary of the Grand Dao Sect in this era, so it was likely Dao Yi had left behind some hidden moves.
But Yetian scoffed, not bothering to hide his disdain for the Grand Dao Sect. “No matter how strong the Grand Dao Sect is, we can Summon their Ancestor. Can they do the same to ours?”
The other Old Ancestors chuckled. As absurd as it sounded, it was the truth. The Grand Dao Sect couldn’t Summon Ancestors in their presence! But they could Summon the Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor to fight!
Yetian continued, “Even if, by some miracle, the Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor turned on us, we’d just Summon our own Ancestor. Wouldn’t Dao Yi then meekly obey our Ancestor’s commands?”
The other Old Ancestors nodded. That made sense!
Yetian swept his sleeve, an aura of absolute dominance radiating from him. “In short, our Supreme Profound Sect is invincible in this starry sky!”
One incense stick’s time later. The Supreme Profound Sect’s Ancient Spirit Shuttle neared the mark left by the Demon Court.
Yetian, purple robes billowing in the wind, stood at the pinnacle of the shuttle, a faint, cold sneer playing on his lips. “I’d like to see what tricks this Grand Dao Sect has up its sleeve.”
Behind him, the faces of several Quasi-Dao Supreme Old Ancestors grew solemn. The Great Domain Lu Xuan had condensed was simply too shocking—easily dozens of Southern Wilds’ large states in size! This colossal domain hung in the void, surging with monstrous Dao Rhyme and an overwhelming aura!
“As expected, a powerful expert from the Grand Dao Sect has appeared!” one of the Old Ancestors exclaimed.
Yetian scoffed. “What a waste of effort! What’s the point of gathering all these Great Domains together?”
But then he reconsidered. “Actually, it’s quite useful. Saves us the trouble of running all over the place!”
The others chuckled. “Indeed!”
Boom! Crack! The Supreme Profound Sect’s Ancient Spirit Shuttle tore through the starry sky, descending like a river of stars directly before Lu Xuan.
Yetian suddenly rose into the air, a terrifying, peerless Quasi-Dao Supreme aura surging from his body as he surveyed his surroundings.
His gaze quickly fell upon Lu Xuan, lounging in a recliner, with the Green-skirted Girl massaging his shoulders. Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others, along with Chen Changsheng, stood respectfully to the side, like mere lackeys.
Ten thousand zhang away in the void, Feng Tianxiao and several Great Demons also stood in respectful silence.
Yetian frowned slightly. Why was Xuan Shang Old Ancestor so respectful towards Lu Xuan? And why did the Demon Court’s Great Demons seem so terrified? What exactly had happened here?
But a cold sneer quickly replaced his frown. He could Summon the Grand Dao Sect’s Ancestor! What was there to fear? Who could possibly kill him?!
With that thought, Yetian pointed at Lu Xuan and barked, “You are Lu Xuan? What an extravagant display!”
Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and spoke indifferently, “Go on, Summon your Ancestor.”
At his words, the Supreme Profound Sect disciples erupted in fury. Lu Xuan clearly didn’t give a damn about them! They had just arrived, and he was already telling them to Summon their Ancestor!
Yetian snorted coldly. He was a Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! And with the Supreme Scripture in his possession, his offensive power was enough to crush any peer of the same rank!
Boom! Yetian stomped forward, his purple robes fluttering. With a sweep of his sleeve, he raised his hand and struck directly at Lu Xuan’s head. “Why would I need the Supreme Scripture to kill you? A casual strike is all it takes!”
