89: The conspiracy of Tianyun Patriarch

Only the last Law of Life remained.

This was a mysterious Law, green and brimming with infinite vitality.

The evolution of a world is inseparable from Time and Space, and even more so from Death and Life. Therefore, among the Ten Great Supreme Dao, there are Time, Space, and Life and Death. (The Ten Great Supreme Dao in Chapter 77 has been modified.)

The Law of Life, simply put, encompasses a person's birth, infancy, childhood, youth, middle age, old age, up until the moment before death—this entire process is Life.

Life and Death are inseparable; the end of Life is Death. With this Law of Life, mastering the Great Dao of Life is a certainty. Then, by comprehending the Great Dao of Death and fusing the two, one will be able to control the Great Dao of Life and Death.

Of course, at the current stage, Xu Qing was not yet suitable to comprehend the Law of Life, so he continued to comprehend Chaos.

In the distance, the battlefield had long since returned to calm.

The Martial Artists from the various watching forces silently watched the Xu Family's Celestial Venerable depart.

Today, the power displayed by the Xu Family exceeded their imagination. Everyone knew that the Xu Family had at least two Celestial Venerables, which severely disrupted the balance of the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds.

The appearance of one Celestial Venerable was not terrifying, because the forces behind them possessed no less than ten Celestial Venerables.

What was terrifying was that this Celestial Venerable acted without any scruples. Just now, he had refined Celestial Venerable Bai Jue of the Hall of the Gods alive. If even a powerful force like the Hall of the Gods suffered such a fate, what about their own forces?

They did not know if the Xu Family would target them later. They dared not gamble, nor were they willing to gamble.

Therefore, after the Xu Family's Celestial Venerable left, these forces exchanged a knowing glance.

Thus, while Xu Qing was in seclusion, a conspiracy was quietly unfolding.

Tianyun Prefecture!

"I didn't expect this Xu Family to have such a profound foundation! Could it be that they are truly a force left over from the previous era?"

Ancestor Tian Yun murmured.

"Interesting! But now, the higher-ups of the Hall of the Gods must have noticed the Xu Family, right? Hehe!"

Ancestor Tian Yun chuckled.

A Celestial Venerable, even within the force behind him, was a core power. The death of such a figure was enough to alarm the other two Divine Venerables of the Hall of the Gods.

One must know that the so-called Divine Ability of the Hall of the Gods came from Divine Venerables and Celestial Venerables.

For example, the Descent of the Gods that Ye Xunzheng had previously displayed was a technique that used a spell as a medium to summon the will of a Celestial Venerable.

"The Xu Family might not even need to wait for the Hall of the Gods to make a move!"

Ancestor Tian Yun thought deeply. This battle had shown that the Xu Family's strength had broken the balance of the Thirteen Sects that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

Neither the Thirteen Sects nor the powerful forces behind them would allow an unknown force to rule the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds had more than thirty hegemonic forces, but after tens of thousands of years of war, only Thirteen Sects remained.

The reason for this was the great war of the previous era, which had buried countless Divine Venerable and Celestial Venerable tombs, and even the tombs of Imperial Realm Grand Experts, in the Land of Thousand Domains.

There were even rumors that the Land of Thousand Domains contained the tomb of a Giant, which would awaken at a certain point in time.

Giants were existences that surpassed the Imperial Realm. A single strike from them could annihilate a Great Domain. Such existences were each capable of suppressing all ages.

And this was the reason why the forces behind the Thirteen Sects continued to fight, even if it took tens of thousands of years.

Now that they had finally defeated other enemies, how could they allow a new, powerful force to emerge and reap the fruits of their hundreds of thousands of years of effort?

"Old Ancestor!"

Just then, a middle-aged man in golden armor, majestic and extraordinary, walked in.

"Ah, it's Quan Yang. What is it?"

The middle-aged man was Quan Yang, the Head of Tianyun Prefecture, and also the junior he thought most highly of, with the potential to Breakthrough to the Celestial Venerable position.

"Old Ancestor, I just received a message from the Sect Master of the Fire Underworld Sect. He invited me to the Black Flame Domain for a discussion!"

"Oh?" A smile appeared in Ancestor Tian Yun's eyes. "Why do you think the Fire Underworld Sect suddenly sought you out?"

Quan Yang thought for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "I imagine it's about that Xu Family!"

"Precisely!" A look of appreciation appeared in Ancestor Tian Yun's eyes.

"Then, Old Ancestor's meaning is..."

Hearing this, Ancestor Tian Yun rose and walked to the window, overlooking the hundreds of thousands of miles of Tianyun Prefecture.

"The Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds are divided into Thirteen Sects; the profit is too small!"

Quan Yang's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "Old Ancestor, do you mean to dominate the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds?"

Ancestor Tian Yun smiled. "The Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds have been peaceful for too long. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, because the main Clan reached an agreement with the various major forces, they did not unify. For all these years, we have been bound by that initial agreement and have not made a move."

"Now is an opportunity. As for domination, even if this Old Man had the desire, he wouldn't have the ability. The Fire Underworld Sect and the Shenyi Sect are, after all, our biggest obstacles!"

Quan Yang's expression stirred upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Old Ancestor, why don't we drive a tiger to swallow a wolf? That Xu Family..."

"Hahahaha!" Ancestor Tian Yun laughed heartily upon hearing this. "How you act on this trip is entirely up to you!"

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Quan Yang bowed and left.

God Realm Domain, Hall of the Gods!

The moment Celestial Venerable Bai Jue died, the Disciple responsible for guarding the Soul Tablet Hall was horrified, because Celestial Venerable Bai Jue's Soul Tablet had shattered.

At the same time, an utterly terrifying, monstrous killing intent surged from a great hall within the Forbidden Ground of the Hall of the Gods, soaring into the sky. The hundreds of thousands of miles of sky in all directions were enveloped by a terrifying thunderous might, and rumbling sounds echoed everywhere.

Countless living beings trembled under such terrifying pressure, and those with weaker strength were even scared to death.

"What happened?"

"That direction is Grand Elder Luo Qianjue!"

The powerhouses of the Hall of the Gods all stopped what they were doing and looked towards that great hall with frightened eyes.

"What's wrong? Before, the True Disciple Ye Xunzheng died... Woo..."

"Are you tired of living? How dare you bring that up!"

All the Disciples immediately shut their mouths, fearing to incur wrath.

At the same time, within that great hall, Luo Qianjue's body surged with killing intent, his eyes filled with venomous murderous intent.

"Qianjue, we already know about Bai Jue's matter. What we need to do is find the culprit behind it!" An aged voice came.

At the same time, an illusory aged figure appeared within the great hall.

"Old Ancestor!"

Seeing the Old Man, Luo Qianjue quickly bowed.

Even as powerful as he was, facing this Old Man, he had no choice but to perform the Disciple's present, because when he was still a Disciple, the other party was already a Sect Old Ancestor. Even if he had advanced to Divine Venerable, he could not fathom how strong this Old Man was.

"Old Ancestor, I sent Bai Jue to the Land of Thousand Domains to kill the enemy who annihilated Ye Xunzheng. I once asked the Tiangang Divine Sect and learned that the one who annihilated Ye Xunzheng was a Family named Xu."

"Now that Bai Jue is dead, it must be the Xu Family's doing. Bai Jue's strength, even if not at the Late Stage of Celestial Venerable, would not have made it difficult for him to leave, not to mention the means I left for him. Now that Bai Jue is dead, this Xu Family is definitely not an ordinary Family."

Luo Qianjue recounted everything he knew and his deductions.

"The Xu Family?"

The Old Ancestor frowned upon hearing this.

"No matter how strong this Xu Family is, the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds cannot be lost. Five hundred thousand years ago, an Imperial Dao Grand Expert from the Heavens Secret Pavilion once calculated that the tomb of that former Saint in the Land of Thousand Domains would appear in this generation, and at that time, all forces in the Land of Thousand Domains would be able to participate."

"No matter what, before that Saint's tomb appears, my Hall of the Gods must regain control of the Profound Ancient Territory!"
