“Xuanji Holy Lord is setting up a Grand Array to break through! We absolutely cannot let her succeed!”
“If Xuanji Holy Lord reaches Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme, she’ll become even more troublesome for us!”
“Stop her, now!”
In an instant, numerous Old Ancestors soared into the sky, ready to breach the Grand Array.
Boom, boom, boom!
Xuanji Holy Lord’s Grand Array seized the Heaven and Earth Momentum of the Eerie Abyss, sealing off this entire region. The Eerie Power became an inexhaustible source for the array.
By the time the Old Ancestors moved to attack, the Heaven-Reaching Grand Array was already fully formed.
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor’s face darkened considerably. “When did Xuanji Holy Lord lay down such Formation Patterns right under our noses?”
The Ancient Chen Family Old Ancestor replied, “It must have been after Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s personal guards arrived that Xuanji Holy Lord set this up!”
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor said, “We have no choice but to break the array! If we can’t push Xuanji Holy Lord to her limits, Ji Yue Old Ancestor will be furious!”
They had already discerned Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s intentions. Ji Yue Old Ancestor found it inconvenient to act himself! They were merely blades in Ji Yue Old Ancestor’s hand, meant to force Xuanji Holy Lord to submit!
With that thought, dozens of Old Ancestors stood firm in the void, launching an assault on the Heaven-Reaching Grand Array. They held nothing back!
Boom, boom, boom!
Terrifying, boundless power surged like a tidal wave towards the Heaven-Reaching Grand Array, crashing like colliding mountains, falling stars. The Old Ancestors from all three major factions unleashed their ultimate techniques, attempting to forcibly break the array!
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor remarked, “Xuanji Holy Lord truly lives up to her reputation as the magnate who once established the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone. Her mastery of formations is indeed profound!”
The Ancient Chen Family Old Ancestor agreed, “Indeed! This formation perfectly aligns with the Heaven and Earth Momentum of the Eerie Abyss and is powered by Eerie Power. Under these conditions, it’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint the core of the array, increasing the difficulty of breaking it severalfold!”
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor’s expression was grim. “We can only break it by brute force!”
Meanwhile, Xuanji Holy Lord sat cross-legged, glancing up at the void before accelerating the circulation of her Dao of Eerie Scripture! As long as she broke through to Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme, this crisis could be resolved! At that point, she could directly annihilate Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes!
…
At Azure Mystery Peak, Grand Dao Sect.
Lu Xuan lay leisurely outside his thatched hut, while inside, Chen Changsheng was cooking. Wisps of cooking smoke curled upwards. This was a Wooden Puppet Clone Chen Changsheng had left behind. Three disciples out there striving, and him “lying flat” at Azure Mystery Peak—this feeling was truly wonderful.
The System’s voice continuously chimed.
“Ding! First Disciple Ji Fuyao’s comprehension of the Path of Spirit Fire has increased! Synchronization initiated!”
“Ding! Second Disciple Ye Chen’s cultivation is increasing! Synchronization initiated!”
“Ding! Fourth Disciple Baili’s cultivation is increasing! Synchronization initiated!”
As the notifications faded, a surge of pure spiritual energy poured into Lu Xuan’s body, flowing like a gentle stream through his limbs and bones. His cultivation foundation had grown a bit! Simultaneously, several brilliant light clusters appeared in his mind. These were precisely the powers of comprehension!
Internal Monologue (Lu Xuan): Just a bit, huh? And here I am, still stuck at Seven-star Great Emperor Mid-stage. Barely making progress. If I keep this up, I might accidentally stumble into Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme before I know it. What a drag.
Just then, the Green-skirted Girl’s voice once again reached Lu Xuan’s ears.
“The Tai Chu Realm is about to undergo its World Upgrade, tee hee!”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan looked up at the void.
Boom, boom, boom!
A thunderous roar echoed between heaven and earth. The entire Grand Dao Sect’s land trembled, countless spiritual peaks swayed, and it felt as if something vast was awakening tens of thousands of miles beneath the earth. Instantly, the numerous Old Ancestors and Peak Masters of the Grand Dao Sect were startled. They watched the world around them with immense shock.
An indescribable, profound aura permeated the world.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor extended his withered hand, gently stroking the breeze in the air. A look of profound shock appeared on his face. “A brand new ‘Dao’ and ‘Rhyme’ have emerged in the world! This is absolutely unprecedented!”
Hearing this, the other Old Ancestors immediately circulated their Grand Dao Scripture. Mysterious power flowed through their bodies. The power of the Grand Dao Scripture resonated with the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to perceive the changes in the world even more clearly.
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor exclaimed with a face full of shock, “This is an even more profound power than the Heaven and Earth Change! I feel the entire world’s energy has become incredibly pure!”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor added, “I feel like the bottleneck that has always loomed over my head has finally vanished!”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor declared, “Let’s go ask the White Robe Supreme. He’s sure to know what’s going on.”
Soon after, the Old Ancestors, stepping on brilliant divine light, arrived at Azure Mystery Peak.
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor looked at Lu Xuan, who was leisurely lying down, and bowed respectfully. “White Robe Supreme, do you know what’s happening to the world?”
Lu Xuan chuckled. “This realm is undergoing a World Upgrade. Once it’s complete, the cultivation limit for the Tai Chu Realm won’t be Supreme anymore, but Five-star Supreme!”
“Five-star Supreme!” Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others were utterly stunned. “That means we’ll be able to break through to Supreme without needing the Supreme Path?”
Lu Xuan nodded. “Precisely! But it won’t be that quick.”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor turned his gaze beyond the Grand Dao Sect. “Are all Five Domains experiencing these changes?”
Lu Xuan said, “All Five Domains will undergo this upgrade. The Tai Chu Realm’s location in the Fallen Star Sea will be exposed, and then those Supreme-tier factions will be able to contact their former Supreme Old Ancestors!”
Hearing this, Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others’ faces turned ashen. “If that’s the case, how will our Grand Dao Sect contend when those Supreme Old Ancestors descend upon the Tai Chu Realm?”
“And after all this time, they might have grown incredibly powerful.”
Lu Xuan offered a faint smile. “No matter. When the time comes, I’ll handle it!”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others nodded. “Understood.”
Before long, the Old Ancestors departed, their faces etched with worry. No one had anticipated that this realm would undergo such a monumental change, unseen for eight epochs!
Simultaneously, the entire Southern Wilds erupted in a frenzy. Factions like Dark Shadow Island, Supreme Profound Sect, Demon Court, and the Alien Races all watched the colossal changes in the Southern Wilds with immense shock.
Above the mountains and rivers, ten thousand rays of auspicious light shone, bathing the four directions, as if the world itself was reviving. One mountain range after another burst forth from the depths of the earth, and ancient secret realms, buried for countless epochs, reappeared before the eyes of the world. Ancient temples, Daoist academies, and palaces from primeval epochs emerged! Everyone was utterly astonished! This was a truly earth-shattering transformation! The spiritual energy across all the domains grew denser, and everyone felt a restrictive force that had long hung over their heads shatter, like a fundamental shackles within their bodies breaking!
Demon Lord Tiannu exclaimed in shock, “Rule Power! The Rule Power in the Southern Wilds has become incredibly dense!”
Before, the Southern Wilds only possessed a faint trace of Rule Power! But now, it had surged by more than tenfold!
The Dark Shadow Island Lord had emerged from his ancient tomb, meticulously observing the upheaval in the Southern Wilds. “What exactly is happening to this realm? Didn’t the Ancestor say that this realm was destined for annihilation in this epoch?”
“Could this be the realm’s last gasp before its ultimate demise?”
Within the ancestral lands of the Supreme Profound Sect.
Nangong Baixue, clad in a long gown, stood with Qin Wang beside her. The aura of a Nine-star Great Emperor flowed around her. During this period, she had once again refined a portion of Liu Ruyan’s inherited power, achieving another breakthrough! And Qin Wang had also stepped into the Five-star Great Emperor realm! Numerous Old Ancestors of the Supreme Profound Sect entered the ancestral lands one after another.
Nangong Baixue gazed into the depths of the sky, stating calmly, “I can sense an incredibly faint connection. Perhaps I can try to communicate with Ancestor Liu Ruyan now.”
