123: The Zhu family descended upon the holy city.

Wang Peng frowned when he saw Zhang Ze's appearance and asked him, "What is it that makes you feel so terrified?"

One must know that Zhang Ze was a Spiritual Race creature ranked among the top ten of the Myriad Races, naturally capable of seeing the essence of certain things.

When Zhang Ze heard Wang Peng's inquiry, he immediately responded tremblingly, "The reason that stone was cut in half was actually caused by a terrifying Law!"

Zhang Ze explained why only half of the stone remained, and then Wang Peng and the others heard him say,

"Just glancing at that Law caused my Spiritual Consciousness to become a mess of Chaos. My Spiritual Consciousness told me that if I touch the stone, I will surely die!"

After speaking, Zhang Ze quickly moved away from the stone and went to a secluded edge to refine the power of the Law.

Hearing Zhang Ze say this, the others simultaneously grew wary of the stone. Some sharp-eyed individuals noticed a faint, almost imperceptible trace of Law on the stone's flat surface.

"What Zhang Ze said is true. I also saw a trace of Law remaining on it. Unfortunately, I can't tell what Law it is, but I just feel it is very dangerous. Everyone, let's not touch that stone. Go focus on refining the power of the Law!"

That sharp-eyed Immortal Dao Prodigy said this, then also left, not daring to have any thoughts about the stone.

Seeing this, the others also went to different locations to refine the power of the Law.

"Ye Ming" glanced at the stone. Just as he was about to go to the location with the most Law power, that Ziyan came again.

"Ye Ming!"

Hearing her voice, "Ye Ming" frowned slightly, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly vanished from the spot.

"Hmph, why are you running? This blockhead! This Young Miss just wanted to ask a question!"

Ziyan looked at the spot where "Ye Ming" had disappeared, let out a soft snort, and stamped her foot in frustration.

Somewhere on the mountaintop.

"Ye Ming's" figure slowly appeared. After confirming that no one would disturb him, he sat down cross-legged right there and began refining the Law power swirling around him.

He currently had only one goal: to refine the Law power that his Main Body instructed him to refine for over four months. All other external matters were irrelevant to him.

This was also the reason why he had to avoid Ziyan.

Just like that, all nineteen Immortal Dao Prodigies each chose what they believed to be the best location and entered closed-door Cultivation.

Even Ziyan, who had been constantly looking for Ye Ming, went into seclusion, as Ye Ming completely ignored her.

Moreover, this place could only be visited once every few decades or centuries; missing it once would lead to lifelong regret.

They all regarded the place as their secluded Cultivation ground, setting up various Formations around them. They would not emerge for at least five months.

With so much inexhaustible Law power to refine, their strength was bound to skyrocket again. Wang Peng even planned to challenge the Immortal Dao Prodigy ranked ninth after leaving.

To see if he could defeat him and take his ranking.

Two months later.

Ye Ming, who was secretly comprehending the Space Law, suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of joy flashed within them.

He had finally achieved initial mastery of the Space Law.

This Law was too complex; even with his Immortal Spirit Root talent, it took him a full two and a half months to master it.

Having mastered the Space Law, coupled with his current cultivation, he only needed two steps to cross the Star River between Spiritual Domains, slightly slower than a Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate.

But this speed was unmatched by anyone in the Mahayana stage.

He could even use the Space Law to fabricate a Spatial Cage that could imprison anyone. Unless one's strength surpassed Undergoing Tribulation, they couldn't break his cage.

If the mastery of the Space Law were at the introductory level now, even a Heavenly Venerate in the Early Stage of Undergoing Tribulation wouldn't be able to escape.

It wasn't just these two; there were many more skills that made Ye Ming's eyes light up, but they were all immature, and he needed to practice them thoroughly.

After thinking, Ye Ming took out the heaven suppressing seal, and his entire being vanished from the mountaintop, entering the Cave Heaven to test the various new abilities brought by the Space Law!

At the same time.

Saint City, outside the Secret Realm.

Today, many Warships that obscured the sky and sun arrived, along with many enormous Yao Beasts. Each of them bore a clan banner.

The clan banner's main color was black, with golden patterns around the edges, and a conspicuous large golden character in the center: Zhu!

The residents of Saint City also saw these Warships, and their expressions subtly changed.

What's going on? Do they want to come to Saint City and fight?

At this moment, a powerful aura emerged from Saint City.

In just the blink of an eye, everyone realized that a figure was standing in the sky above Saint City, appearing without warning.

"Zhu Family, why have you come to Saint City with such a massive display of power?"

The figure's voice was immensely grand, echoing throughout the entire Great State where Saint City was located. Countless beings heard this sentence.

As soon as the voice faded, a white-robed man walked out from the largest Warship on the Zhu Family's side.

This person was shrouded in a misty light, obscuring his appearance. Every movement he made gave people an extremely oppressive feeling.

When the man stepped out, the entire world fell silent, as if he were the Dominator between heaven and earth.

"You cannot represent the Holy Temple. Let Saint Heaven Star come out!"

The man's indifferent voice spread throughout the entire Great State.

Countless Spiritual Beings trembled upon hearing this voice—a Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate!

And he was a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate who had endured Seven Tribulations.

The figure above Saint City also wore a solemn expression. He had only just entered Undergoing Tribulation and was no match for that Zhu Family Old Ancestor.

It could be said that in the eyes of that man, he was merely an infant who hadn't been weaned yet. Only the Old Holy Master could contend with the Zhu Family Old Ancestor.

Considering the gap between them, the figure slightly cupped his hands toward the Zhu Family Old Ancestor and said, "Heavenly Venerate, please wait a moment. I shall go and invite the Old Holy Master!"

Having said that, just as he was about to head to the Holy Temple.

"No need to search. Second Elder, you may return to the Holy Temple!"

An ancient voice, like a gentle breeze, slowly echoed across the sky above Saint City.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see an old man holding a walking stick standing next to the Second Elder.

His face was covered in wrinkles, but the light in his eyes was extraordinarily bright, as if looking into them would blind a person. No one dared to meet his gaze.

Even the Second Elder, who belonged to the Holy Temple, lowered his head and did not look directly into the old man's eyes.

"Old Holy Master!"

The Second Elder respectfully saluted the old man, but the old man merely waved his hand, and only then did the Second Elder turn to return to the Holy Temple.

After the Second Elder left, the Old Holy Master looked at the Zhu Family Old Ancestor, the wrinkles on his face suddenly bunching up as he chuckled and spoke:

"Zhu Yilong, we haven't met for two hundred thousand years. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you would already be preparing to undergo your Eighth Immortal Tribulation!"

As if sighing with emotion, a memory flashed across the Old Holy Master's eyes.

"Saint Heaven Star, let's catch up later. My purpose for coming here is mainly because my grandson died, and I want to know who killed him!"

Zhu Yilong didn't waste words and directly stated his intention, his voice devoid of any discernible emotion.

But when he mentioned the death of his grandson, the sky, which had been clear for thousands of miles, instantly became covered in dark clouds.

In an instant, terrifying Heavenly Lightning descended from them, and the vast thunder sounded like the heavens and earth roaring.

Countless raindrops poured down from the dark clouds, like the Heavenly River being overturned.
