769: Announcement, Number One

"Grandmaster..."

The elder in the middle of the six figures was Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable, the Cultivator with the highest cultivation in the Dongxuan Dao Court, who had already Undergone Tribulation five times.

Even compared to Daoist Dongxuan, he was not far behind.

Moreover, Daoist Dongxuan had no hope of Undergoing Tribulation a sixth time, and long ago, he could only enter the Northern Desert Forbidden Ground, relying on the protection of that Supreme to prolong his life to this day.

In the Dongxuan Dao Court, although Daoist Dongxuan was the founding Old Ancestor, in terms of real power, he was definitely inferior to the current Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable.

Although Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable appeared respectful, he was hesitant in his heart. He achieved Dao at the end of the last epoch, possessed extremely high Innate talent, and harbored the hope of Immortal Ascension.

At this moment, all the old ghosts were recuperating, attempting to seize that divine artifact when it appeared and achieve Immortal Ascension.

He did not want to create extra trouble at this time.

"I have already discussed it with the Supreme. When that Immortal Treasure descends, the Supreme will assist my Dao Court in obtaining it."

Daoist Dongxuan's gaze swept over the six figures.

These six were all his Disciples and grand-Disciples.

However, those who had Cultivated to the Heavenly Venerable realm each had their own plans.

Even he seemed to be losing his command over them.

Daoist Dongxuan said no more.

"Doesn't the Supreme want that Immortal Treasure?"

At this moment, beside Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable, an old woman-like Cultivator lightly coughed and looked up at Daoist Dongxuan.

"The Supreme does not need it."

Daoist Dongxuan nodded gently.

The old woman wanted to say something more, but she saw that Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable beside her seemed to believe this statement.

Her heart stirred. Although she had long heard of the name of that Northern Desert Supreme, she had never truly met him.

Even with Grandmaster Dongxuan as a link connecting the Dao Court with that Supreme.

She did not understand that Supreme.

However, Grandmaster Dongxuan and Senior Brother Dongyuan must have some understanding.

The old woman's Daoist name was Lihuan, and she had already Undergone Tribulation three times.

Old Woman Lihuan said no more, various schemes flashing through her mind.

On the other side of Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable.

There was also a middle-aged, bald Cultivator without hair.

This person's name was Chizhu Heavenly Venerable, and he had already Undergone Heavenly Tribulation twice.

As for the remaining three, including Hongdao Heavenly Venerable, they had not yet embarked on the path to Immortal Ascension.

Chizhu Heavenly Venerable was not good with words, preferring to subdue others with force, but his thoughts were equally unfathomable.

Now, hearing Grandmaster Dongxuan's words, the bald Chizhu Heavenly Venerable remained silent, only looking towards Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable beside him.

He appeared to be taking Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable as his leader.

"Now that Grandmaster has returned, the important affairs of the Dao Court should naturally be led by Grandmaster."

"Dongyuan will listen to Grandmaster's commands entirely."

Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable bowed in salute, his tone sincere.

"Grandmaster, Senior Brother, Senior Sister."

"Not long ago, this Junior Brother had a Junior who was tragically killed by that Junior Zhou Tailai of the Qingyang Zhou Clan."

"However, due to the name of the Red Dust Immortal Palace, this Junior Brother could only swallow this grievance."

"The Qingyang Zhou Clan has so greatly insulted the name of my Dao Court. Today, I ask Grandmaster and all Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to uphold justice for this Junior Brother and rectify the name of the Dao Court."

At this moment.

The square-faced Hongdao Heavenly Venerable suddenly spoke, his voice sorrowful, with a hint of shame in his eyes.

"Qingyang Zhou Clan, how dare they!"

"A mere Holy Land, daring to harm the life of my Dao Court's Disciple without cause."

"Hongdao, issue a proclamation immediately, demanding that the Qingyang Zhou Clan hand over the person who harmed my Dao Court's Disciple, otherwise, my Dao Court will flatten the Chaotic Sea."

Daoist Dongxuan's heart rejoiced, but his face was extremely serious, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

After Daoist Dongxuan finished speaking, he looked at the others.

"Junior Brother Hongdao, why did you conceal this matter until now..."

"This old woman has not left seclusion for a long time, and I did not expect anyone to be so bold..."

"The Qingyang Zhou Clan deserves to be executed!"

"..."

The expressions of the other Heavenly Venerables varied.

They seemed to have just learned of the matter.

"Hongdao... will go and handle it."

Hongdao Heavenly Venerable couldn't help but cover his face and weep, his words even choked up.

A moment later, Hongdao Heavenly Venerable's expression recovered slightly. He then bowed to the others and left the palace.

Fairy Gui Yi watched with cold eyes.

She only felt that these so-called Heavenly Venerables, these so-called Old Ancestors, were so hypocritical and disgusting.

At this moment, they appeared so furious, as if they wanted to seek justice for their Disciples.

In reality, it was all for other purposes.

However, she had already understood this long ago.

Her Physique was special; that experience of entering the Ancient Path of Spiritual Endowment in the Northern Desert was merely a transaction.

Now, she was nothing more than a Puppet with a faint sense of self-awareness but no emotions whatsoever.

"Messenger."

Old Woman Lihuan Heavenly Venerable looked at Fairy Gui Yi.

"The Supreme never breaks his promises."

Fairy Gui Yi spoke indifferently.

Then her figure moved towards the outside of the hall.

"Everyone, get ready."

"If the Qingyang Zhou Clan refuses to hand over the person, then we will have to make a trip ourselves."

Daoist Dongxuan left a sentence, and his figure had already disappeared into the palace.

Dongyuan Heavenly Venerable, Lihuan Heavenly Venerable, and Chizhu Heavenly Venerable, the three Undergoing Tribulation Heavenly Venerables, each had their own plans in mind. They nodded and also disappeared from their original spots.

The remaining two newly promoted Heavenly Venerables were silent for a moment, then exchanged glances.

"What kind of existence is that Supreme, to be able to keep Grandmaster alive until now..."

"This method of avoiding tribulation is truly incredible..."

"Even that one in the Red Dust Immortal Palace probably can't do it..."

The two Heavenly Venerables' hearts stirred.

In this way, they had a fallback.

After this time, perhaps they could go all out and embark on the path to Immortal Ascension.

Even if they failed, they could seek refuge under that Supreme... At the same time.

Deep in the Northern Desert, underground, within a desolate and ancient palace.

A figure with a dark silver wheel of destiny floating behind him quietly opened his eyes.

"I cannot see through the wheel of destiny of that snake demon..."

"I must make more preparations..."

The hazy figure muttered to himself, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

He wielded the wheel of destiny, one of the five great Innate Immortal Treasures. Although he had not completely controlled it, in this world, there were few existences that he could not see through.

He just didn't expect that he couldn't see the wheel of destiny of that snake demon, who had only achieved Dao for less than a few hundred years.

Although his true body had not appeared, only some Qi of the wheel of destiny was attached to Gui Yi's body.

But it was enough to make him startled.

The hazy figure thought.

With a thought, an ancient token appeared in his palm.

On the token, there was only one ancient character: One.

In a mysterious space, an illusory palace flickered in and out of existence.

Above the palace, there was a plaque with three ancient characters imbued with Dao Qi: Hall of Eternal Life.

Inside the palace, there were nine massive pillars.

At this moment, on each of the pillars, a faceless phantom appeared.

Only the Number Six pillar was empty.

However, these phantoms did not pay attention to Number Six, but rather looked towards the Number One pillar.

"Number One has actually appeared..."

The hearts of the phantoms stirred.

"Number One, you sent a signal to summon us. What is the urgent matter?"

Number Three spoke.

The phantoms on the other pillars all looked towards the Number One pillar.

"I have a private matter."
