672: Ding~

Chaofeng Ancient Realm.

On Xuan Dao Peak, in the Xuanyun Realm, on the border of the Eastern Barrens.

Deep within the Immortal Qi-filled palace, where the three ancient characters 'Xuan Dao Palace' hung.

The Palace Master of Xuandao Palace, who was cultivating with closed eyes, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

An inexplicable sense of panic emerged from the depths of his heart.

"Dao Monarch..."

An unbelievable thought arose from the bottom of his heart.

The Palace Master of Xuandao Palace's figure flickered.

He appeared at the peak of Xuan Dao Peak.

At this moment.

The ancient stone wall remained as it was in the past.

But only the Palace Master of Xuandao Palace could perceive the subtle differences within it.

Behind this stone wall was the Dao Monarch's cultivation place.

Within it, the Dao Monarch's Great Dao was contained.

But, at this moment, the Great Dao imprint contained within was dissipating.

This meant that the Dao Monarch had completely fallen... Moreover, the green lamp inside the stone wall was also gone... Even though he held the position of Palace Master and governed a region, his ability to remain calm in the face of change had already reached its deepest level.

But at this moment, he was still startled by this thought, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"How is this possible... Who could it be...?"

The Palace Master of Xuandao Palace's expression constantly changed. The Dao Monarch had already broken through to the Late Stage of Dao Integration, and his control over that green lamp seemed to have risen another level. Who could have caused his demise?

"This matter must not be publicized..."

"It's just that, as time passes, it definitely won't be kept a secret..."

"However, with that person from Chaotic Sea present, no one will dare to act recklessly in a short period of time..."

"No harm... no harm..."

The Palace Master of Xuandao Palace's thoughts were in turmoil.

"The Profound Palace has a deep foundation. As long as no Dao Monarch makes a move to probe, no changes will occur..."

"It's just that, the speed needs to be accelerated..."

A Dao Palace, without a Dao Monarch overseeing it, would ultimately not last long.

The Palace Master of Xuandao Palace waved his hand, casting a Dao spell to completely Seal this stone wall.

Then, his figure descended.

"Palace Master."

"Dao Child Qin Wuyou has disappeared."

When the Palace Master of Xuandao Palace arrived at the Palace Master's Hall, an Elder who had been waiting there for a moment quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Just pick a new Dao Child then."

The Palace Master of Xuandao Palace didn't care.

More than ten years ago, Qin Wuyou's life and death were already in the Dao Monarch's control.

He hadn't paid much attention.

Presumably, Qin Wuyou's Bloodline had already been exhausted.

He had become fodder for the Dao Monarch to control the green lamp.

But now even the Dao Monarch had fallen.

He didn't want to bother with a mere Qin Wuyou.

He had more pressing matters to attend to.

That was to Breakthrough to Dao Integration.

And achieve the Dao Monarch Realm.

"Yes, Palace Master."

The Elder received the order and withdrew.

From this day on.

Within the Xuanyun Realm, various cultivation forces were somewhat surprised.

The high and mighty Xuan Dao Palace seemed to have become much more low-key... Northern Chaotic Sea.

Beneath the waters of Gui Zhou Island.

Mo Xuan's figure reappeared in the Ancestral Hall.

The crimson scorching sun hung high once more.

The ancestral stele stood tall, and the mountain sea pearl floated above the Ancestral Hall.

At this moment.

Inside the Ancestral Hall's main gate.

A young figure with fluctuating Aura emerged from the Ancestral Hall.

At the entrance.

The two majestic gate-guarding Spirit Beasts, hundreds of zhang in size, simultaneously felt a stir in their hearts.

There was a faint sensation of a natural enemy appearing.

The Mythical Elephant and the Azure Lion simultaneously looked at Zhou Chuanqi, who was emerging from the main hall.

Zhou Chuanqi paused, a smile appearing on his face.

"Two Protector Spirit Venerables, could you bestow a wisp of your Aura?"

Zhou Chuanqi turned around and bowed respectfully to the two ancient exotic beasts.

The Mythical Elephant and the Azure Lion felt a sense of surprise and uncertainty in their hearts.

How did the Aura of this junior suddenly reach the Nascent Soul Realm?

And why would that unsettling feeling appear on this junior?

"Are you sure?"

Although they were surprised, the two beasts dismissed the idea that this feeling came from Zhou Chuanqi himself.

They simply thought it was some means employed by the one inside the hall.

The Azure Lion spoke in a booming voice.

He was a Dao Integration Realm Cultivator. How could a mere Nascent Soul junior bear his Aura?

"Please grant it, Protector Spirit Venerable."

Zhou Chuanqi nodded.

"Alright."

The Azure Lion felt a bit annoyed, stopping the Mythical Elephant, who seemed to want to say something.

Immediately, the Azure Lion opened its mouth, and a wisp of Aura emanating an ancient essence slowly descended.

It landed in Zhou Chuanqi's palm.

"Many thanks, Lion Venerable."

The Mythical Elephant was silent for a moment, then also opened its mouth and exhaled a wisp of Aura.

"Many thanks, Elephant Venerable."

Zhou Chuanqi was secretly delighted.

If he refined these two wisps of Aura and integrated them into the Thousand Spirits Transformation.

He would definitely be able to quickly Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

Zhou Chuanqi's figure departed.

"If this kid dies, won't we be in trouble?"

Only then.

The Azure Lion, somewhat belatedly, whispered to the Mythical Elephant on the other side.

"You..."

The Mythical Elephant was dumbfounded.

He had thought that the Azure Lion had a plan, being so carefree, which prevented him from uttering his words of persuasion.

He never expected it to be a case of throwing caution to the wind.

And then to bring this up afterwards, wasn't this messing with his mentality?

The Mythical Elephant closed his eyes, not wanting to communicate with the Azure Lion... The crimson sun hung high.

Illuminating all seas.

In the border regions, Cultivators from the inland increased.

But no major incidents occurred.

After all, that Chaotic Sea was a Holy Land.

Peaceful years.

Time flowed.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

Chaofeng Ancient Realm.

An unknown place where Great Dao intertwined.

A supreme immortal palace, floating in the depths of time and space, has existed since ancient times.

Above the Immortal Palace.

There were the four ancient Dao characters: Red Dust Immortal Palace.

At this moment.

Above the Red Dust Immortal Palace.

Tribulation clouds enveloped it.

Inside the Immortal Palace.

In the main hall, figures sat cross-legged, and wisps of gray tribulation Qi descended from the Heavenly Tribulation clouds, entering the bodies of the sitting figures.

Bang!

As the tribulation Qi grew heavier.

Figures continuously failed to withstand it and perished under the tribulation clouds.

Among the crowd, a resolute young man with an ordinary longsword on his back sat in the first row.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

Tribulation Qi continuously poured into his body.

After a long time.

Hum~

The young man with the longsword on his back relaxed his brows.

"I've broken through... to the sixth layer... a Realm comparable to a Void Refining Great Power..."

Zhou Liye let out a long breath.

He had passed another trial.

As his cultivation Breakthrough, the amount of tribulation Qi he could accommodate had increased again.

With a thought.

Most of the tribulation Qi in the field swept towards him.

Figures were shaken, all showing gratitude.

Who knows how long passed.

The tribulation clouds covering the Immortal Palace dissipated.

Figures, still with lingering fears, rose and bowed to the young man with the longsword on his back in the first row.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother Zhou."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on your Realm Breakthrough and great advancement in cultivation."

Everyone saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Zhou Liye waved his hand, looking at the empty seats that suddenly appeared among everyone, but he didn't feel much joy.

This Immortal Palace was like a meat grinder, devoid of any emotion.

"Senior Brother Zhou, the last time I left the palace, I was saved by your family. I didn't expect to be saved by you again today."

"Speaking of which, there's someone in your family who resembles Senior Brother somewhat."

One person came to Zhou Liye's side, following behind him, and said with emotion.

Family... Zhou Liye's thoughts paused.

Family... I can't go back... Zhou Liye's heart tightened, then he slowly sighed.

"Cultivate well, don't die too quickly."

Zhou Liye regained his composure and said jokingly to the emotional figure beside him.

"Hehe, of course."

...Meanwhile.

Chaotic Sea, at the junction of the inner and outer seas.

On Floating Island, deep within the Thunder Dao Domain.

A purple figure suddenly rose.

Thunder roared around her.

"Late Stage Soul Transformation!"

Zhou Xiutong was overjoyed.

"Many thanks, Old Ancestor!"

Then she shouted loudly towards the sky.

Gui Zhou Island, on Qingyang Peak.

Suddenly, a green lotus appeared in the sky.

A rather young and handsome figure appeared within the green lotus, sitting cross-legged.

The Aura of a Middle Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator was revealed.

Zhou Leren was secretly delighted.

But before the joy could completely spread, his eyes suddenly moved.

He looked towards a Spirit Peak.

He saw the phantoms of an ancient Mythical Elephant and an ancient Azure Lion rising into the sky.

In the center of the two colossal beast phantoms.

An extremely young figure slowly ascended, standing atop the two beasts.

"He's already reached Soul Transformation?"

Looking at the Aura emanating from Zhou Chuanqi, Zhou Leren was bewildered.

He never would have thought that the next to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation would be Zhou Chuanqi, from the 'Chuan' generation.

At this juncture.

Beneath the waters of Gui Zhou Island.

In the Profound Palace, which stretched for an unknown number of miles.

A giant beast awakened.

"Ding~"
