417: Chapter 417 The Three Reconcile Accounts

[Next, you used the xuantian treasure mirror to adjust the time flow in the wing room where she was in seclusion to a hundredfold, and gave her a batch of Heaven And Earth Treasures.]

[You had no choice but to do this.]

[Because you discovered that you were, after all, a pseudo Heavenly Fate Dao Embryo, and your comprehension of the path of Heavenly Mandate was far inferior to hers, the authentic version.]

[With her Aptitude, one year in reality would be a hundred years under acceleration. Perhaps after one year in reality, she would already be able to reach the Late Nascent Soul Stage.]

[This is the Heaven-Defying aspect of the xuantian treasure mirror.]

[It's easy to imagine how powerful the foundations of those top-tier factions must be.]

[However, this xuantian treasure mirror is considered unique in the entire Immortal Realm.]

[Of course, you didn't stay idle either.]

[The xuantian treasure mirror enveloped the wing rooms of both of you, and under the acceleration, you continued to comprehend the Law of Destiny.]

[Time passed quickly, and three days went by.]

[The news of the Bai Family's destruction has spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital.]

[In teahouses, wine shops, by roadside stalls, and even within various major Families, people were discussing this matter everywhere.]

[Some whispered with their heads together, some slapped tables while speaking with animation, and others sat with somber faces in silence, only drinking their wine in solitude.]

[There were many versions of the story and no shortage of speculation.]

[But there was one point everyone understood in their hearts—this matter wasn't over.]

[Meanwhile,]

[The outward attitudes of the Three Great Factions were also different.]

[For instance, the Huangfu Family of the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty still acted as before on the surface, pretending not to see anything.]

[As for the Divine Dragon Cult, they were split into two factions.]

[One faction, under the lobbying of the Bai Family Ancestor, advocated for joining forces with the Piaomiao Sect to launch a strike against the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty.]

[The Bai Family Ancestor did this because he had naturally reached a secret agreement with True Lord Piaomiao.]

[The other faction advised against initiating a conflict with the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty but demanded that the Immortal Dynasty hand over the Gu Family to provide an explanation.]

[This faction's reasoning was simple—since the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty dared to let a Divine Beast take action, they must have absolute confidence that they didn't fear the Divine Dragon Cult. This matter was definitely not simple.]

[Additionally, the Piaomiao Sect was more than eager to unite with the Divine Dragon Cult to jointly annex the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty.]

[Therefore, the Piaomiao Sect sent word out, expressing their willingness to fully support the Divine Dragon Cult.]

[Ultimately, this matter caused increasingly fierce disputes within the Three Great Factions.]

[It seemed everyone had been stable for too long and wanted to provoke a great chaos to redistribute interests.]

[Seeing the situation becoming more and more uncontrollable, the three Void Refining Cultivators finally chose a deserted mountain peak to begin discussing countermeasures.]

[On a deserted mountain peak that had been leveled at the top, the three of them floated separately in three different spots.]

[They were—Elder Huangfu, True Lord Piaomiao, and the Shenlong Sect Master.]

[For a thousand years, these three had been engaged in both open and secret struggles. While they appeared polite on the surface, they were all calculating in their hearts how to unify the Tianyang Star.]

[The Shenlong Sect Master was the first to speak: "Old man Huangfu, have you finally lost your patience?"]

[Elder Huangfu smiled calmly: "Fellow Daoists, we have known each other for a thousand years. Do you think I need to be secretive?"]

[True Lord Piaomiao's expression was calm, and he remained silent.]

[The Shenlong Sect Master continued: "Then why did you condone the Divine Beast to destroy the Bai Family? Isn't this slapping the face of my Divine Dragon Cult?"]

["Heh," Elder Huangfu gave a cold laugh, "Ridiculous. Could it be that this matter was the work of your own Divine Dragon Cult, or perhaps the Piaomiao Sect?"]

[Elder Huangfu truly thought so in his heart.]

[In fact, all three were racing against time, each hoping to be the first to Breakthrough to Body Integration and then annex the other two.]

[So over these years, while they were polite on the surface, their hearts were full of various calculations.]

[This included the recent trip to the Mysterious Immortal Palace, which was also for the sake of Opportunity to strive for an early Body Integration.]

[It was just that all three had returned empty-handed last time.]

[However, none of the three knew that the others had also returned empty-handed.]

[Because each of them had not yet reached Body Integration, they didn't dare to move rashly or be the first to stick their necks out. They all hoped the others would fight a battle to test their foundations.]

[One must know that this was an internal struggle on the Tianyang Star, and the Heavenly Palace usually turned a blind eye to such things.]

[This situation was just like them watching the struggle between the Bai Family and the Gu Family.]

[True Lord Piaomiao suddenly spoke, looking at Elder Huangfu: "Fellow Daoist Huangfu, what you said is incorrect. My Piaomiao Sect does not fear to admit what we have done."]

["Hahaha," Elder Huangfu laughed loudly, then spread his hands: "Since that's the case, do you dare to swear by the Great Dao that the destruction of the Bai Family has nothing to do with you?"]

["Why wouldn't I dare?" The Shenlong Sect Master spoke up immediately, pointing two fingers to the sky and saying loudly: "I swear by the Great Dao..."]

[After the Shenlong Sect Master made his Great Dao Oath, Elder Huangfu's gaze turned to True Lord Piaomiao, and he smiled faintly: "So it turns out this matter was the work of Fellow Daoist Piaomiao?"]

["Heh, ridiculous," True Lord Piaomiao also immediately pointed two fingers to the sky: "I swear by the Great Dao that the person who destroyed the Bai Family was not driven by me, otherwise..."]

[Seeing True Lord Piaomiao make his Great Dao Oath, the Shenlong Sect Master stood up immediately, staring coldly at Elder Huangfu and shouting while pointing at him: "Old man Huangfu, what else do you have to say?"]

[Elder Huangfu looked at the two with a complex expression, and an uneasy thought suddenly flashed through his mind.]

[All three understood that by swearing upon the Great Dao, if one's words were false, the Heavenly Dao would surely send down a heavenly punishment as a penalty.]

[However, after the two before him swore, the sky remained clear.]

[This was clearly not the work of those two.]

[Elder Huangfu no longer hesitated and immediately pointed two fingers to the sky: "I swear by the Great Dao..."]

[However, when Elder Huangfu's Great Dao Oath concluded, there was no reaction from the sky.]

[The three were dumbfounded, looking at each other, all seeing incredulity in each other's eyes.]

[The more the three thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.]

[At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.]

[After a moment of silence, the Shenlong Sect Master spoke first, his tone carrying a hint of tension: "Could it be the Liu Clan Immortal Family? Haven't they already decided to relocate to the Ziyang Star?"]

[True Lord Piaomiao shook his head: "No, it should be another faction. It seems someone is eyeing our Tianyang Star."]

[Hearing this, Elder Huangfu said coldly: "To dare covet my Tianyang Star, no wonder I've always felt this matter was a bit strange."]

[A cold light flashed in True Lord Piaomiao's eyes, and he gave a cold laugh: "Since that's the case, are you two Fellow Daoists willing to hear a word from me?"]

[The two looked at True Lord Piaomiao.]

[True Lord Piaomiao continued: "This matter started because of the Gu Family. It seems the Gu Family cannot be separated from this matter. Why don't we sacrifice the Gu Family first and then see what the person behind them decides to do?"]

[Elder Huangfu immediately retorted: "Isn't that slapping my face? How will my Huangfu Family manage the Immortal Dynasty in the future?"]

[True Lord Piaomiao immediately added: "Fellow Daoist Huangfu, don't be anxious, we can do it like this..."]
