304: Incident, capture of Zhongli Qiu

Others might be one thing.

But if Zhongli Cui's older brother were still in the Xianyan Star Territory, how could he not come to save him?

Therefore, you speculate that some God Realm Cultivators in the Xianyan Star Territory might have met with misfortune.

However...

Even so, Zhongli Cui still prevented the Dragon Ancestor from achieving a Breakthrough to the God Realm.

This anomaly left you somewhat baffled.

"Strange..."

You pondered deeply, but due to the differences in the timeline, you were unable to find any clues.

In the end, you simply stopped worrying about it, deciding to wait until the Sweeping Sky Battlefield opened to investigate for yourself.

The 11,000th year.

You returned to the Dragon God Secret Treasury and found the Dragon Ancestor.

With the power of Chou Cang, you successfully rescued him.

The Dragon Ancestor was moved to tears by your kindness and stated that you could ask him any questions you had, promising to tell you everything he knew without reservation.

You pondered for a moment, but instead of asking him questions, you said directly, "Come with me. I will help you achieve a Breakthrough to the God Realm in the Far Eastern Land."

The Dragon Ancestor was slightly stunned upon hearing this, but he agreed to your request in the next second.

The reason was simple.

For him, the God Realm was simply too tempting.

The 12,000th year.

As a terrifying aura swept across the Southern Land.

The Dragon Ancestor achieved a Breakthrough to the God Realm.

His entire body's bones and sinews were transformed over and over again.

Compared to a thousand years ago, his aura had undergone an earth-shattering change.

"Thank you, thank you, Lord..."

The Dragon Ancestor bowed to you respectfully.

Through his understanding over these years, he also knew why he had been able to obtain this opportunity for a Breakthrough to the God Realm.

More than half of the God Realm Cultivators in the Xianyan Star Territory had died!

A large number of spots in the God Realm had become vacant.

And the mastermind behind it was you, standing right before him.

The Dragon Ancestor did not know how you had managed to do it, but it was all a fact.

Therefore, he was now extremely respectful to you and did his utmost to work for you.

On the other side, you looked up at the sky.

Although the last Breakthrough attempt had failed, the Dragon Ancestor still possessed a Godhead.

You could also rely on it to attempt another Breakthrough.

It was just that...

Would this really work?

Although your internal world had now separated from your body, Zhongli Cui's words made you feel that things were not that simple.

Even if the hidden dangers of the internal world had been eliminated, when you attempted to break through to the God Realm again, the Divine Cultivation Method you had used previously might still affect you.

And now, you did not have "Rebirth and Return of Life" as a safeguard.

If you failed the Breakthrough again, you would perish and vanish.

After much deliberation, you ultimately did not choose to immediately attempt a Breakthrough to the God Realm, but headed straight for the Divine Court.

Because you knew that Zhongli Qiu, who had fled previously, must have some knowledge of the Divine Cultivation Method.

You traveled with Swift Steps.

With the help of Chou Cang, you and the Dragon Ancestor soon arrived at the Divine Court.

However, the place was already deserted, and even the low-level Cultivators of the Divine Court were nowhere to be found.

"It seems they have joined forces with the remnants of the Underground Palace and the Hidden Temple."

You nodded thoughtfully.

Without hesitation, you headed straight for the Underground Palace.

According to Chou Cang, the Underground Palace was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it possessed many powerful grand formations.

If they focused solely on defense, even he would have to expend quite a bit of effort.

Therefore, you concluded that the remnants of the three factions would definitely gather at the Underground Palace.

The 12,001st year.

You, Chou Cang, and the Dragon Ancestor finally arrived at the Underground Palace.

Just as you had assumed, the remnants of the three factions had indeed gathered here.

Moreover, they had set up even more grand formations inside and outside the Underground Palace, prepared for a protracted war.

"Su Xuan! Do you really intend to fight us until we both perish?!"

"The Sweeping Sky Battlefield opens once every 50,000 years. If there is no help from us when that time comes, the Cultivators from other Star Domains will certainly invade the Xianyan Star Territory!"

"Even if the old Palace Master Chou possesses great strength, he cannot hold them back alone!"

You looked in the direction of the voice and found Zhongli Qiu roaring hideously.

However, his eyes were full of fear.

That roaring was nothing more than a show of bravado.

You chuckled softly and ignored him.

Although the existence of these people was indeed helpful for the Sweeping Sky Battlefield, it was far less important than your Breakthrough to the God Realm.

As long as you could break into the God Realm, relying on "Overcoming to Subdue", the role you could play in the Sweeping Sky Battlefield would be much greater than theirs.

Without the slightest hesitation, you immediately ordered Chou Cang to begin attacking the Underground Palace.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

As a series of huge roaring sounds rang out, the Underground Palace began to tremble repeatedly.

But because the Underground Palace had been reinforced many times, it did not suffer any substantial damage.

"This defense is indeed quite good."

"It's just a pity that it's still lacking a little."

You looked at the Underground Palace thoughtfully.

The Underground Palace seemed Unfaltering at the moment, but in reality, it was like duckweed without roots.

Without repairs, it would sooner or later be breached by Chou Cang.

Although this would take a very long time.

It might be 10,000 years... or it might be 20,000 years...

But sooner or later, it would be worn down by Chou Cang.

And when that time came, the Cultivators inside the Underground Palace would become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Time passed little by little.

Some Cultivators in the Underground Palace soon realized this.

They gradually became panicked.

If it hadn't been for the strong opposition from Zhongli Qiu, Lu Chuan, and the others, they would have already opened the Underground Palace.

You watched this scene in silence and instead ordered Chou Cang to continue bombarding the Underground Palace.

The 20,000th year.

By this time, the Underground Palace had largely collapsed.

You estimated that no matter how much longer it held out, it would be at most three or four thousand years more.

"Now, this Seat gives you a chance."

"If you cripple Zhongli Qiu's cultivation and throw him out, this Seat can let bygones be bygones and give you a way to survive."

The cold words spread throughout the entire Underground Palace.

And those Cultivators who had originally fallen into despair saw a glimmer of hope erupt in their eyes.

"What are you doing? What are you trying to do?"

"Can't you even see through such a scheme of sowing discord?"

Zhongli Qiu roared repeatedly.

But no matter how much he struggled, he was quickly restrained by the others.

After all, the situation before them was a dead end for them.

Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they were willing to bet that what you said was true.
