151 We're All in the Death Care Industry!
"System, sacrifice all the Li family resources I have obtained," Lin Wudao instructed.
[Ding!]
...
[Congratulations, host. You have sacrificed half of the Li family's resources and obtained 15 million Fate Energy value.]
A notification sounded in his mind.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao's spirit was lifted.
"As expected of a hidden faction that has been around for more than 5,000 years. Its foundation is indeed strong. Just half of the resources are already worth 15 million Fate Energy value. If all the resources of the Li family are sacrificed, it will probably be worth more than 30 million," He murmured.
Through the Fate Energy value, he roughly understood the strength and foundation of these hidden factions.
They were indeed much more powerful compared to the Dari Demonic Sect, the Xuantian Sect, and the Tianxin Sword Sect. Just their resources alone were several times more abundant.
If the comparison was in terms of strength, the hidden factions would be even more powerful. The two were not on the same level at all.
This time, Lin Wudao was quite satisfied with the result of getting 15 million Fate Energy value for free.
[Name: Lin Wudao]
[Identity: City of Sin's City Lord]
[Cultivation: Final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm]
[Fate Energy value: 102,416,400]
…
"More than one billion Fate Energy value should be enough."
Looking at the numbers on the interface, Lin Wudao could not help but feel a sense of greatness. This was the first time he had so much Fate Energy value.
Whoosh!
After admiring it for a while, his gaze fell on the bronze coffin in front of him.
Bang!
The heaven burial copper coffin was released, and the ancient corpse was put into it.
[You have collected Cao Qiudao's corpse and obtained three Void Limitless Pills. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained three Heavenly Cycle Fortune Pills.]
[Name: Heavenly Cycle Nature Pill]
[Description: After consumption, the user will temporarily possess the cultivation of the early stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm.]
[Remark: Lasts for 15 minutes.]
…
Whoosh!
With a thought, an exquisite jade bottle appeared in his hand. Inside it were three dragon-eye-sized green pills that emitted powerful spiritual energy.
"This thing is not bad either. Although it will only bring a temporary early-stage Heavenly Cycle realm cultivation, it's still very useful to me."
Lin Wudao was satisfied.
This time, his luck was not bad.
With the Heavenly Cycle Fortune Pills, he was more confident about his following operation in the Heishui Secret Realm.
Buzz!
Just as Lin Wudao was checking the properties and effects of the Heavenly Cycle Fortune Pill, the invitation from the Mad Daoist suddenly vibrated.
He opened it and saw a new message.
"Brother Ren, come to the Myth Inn. The helpers I found have arrived. Let's discuss the plan together."
Hmm? He found the helpers he was looking for?
Looking at the words on the invitation, a hint of curiosity flashed past Lin Wudao's eyes.
Then, he immediately disguised himself as Ren Woxing and went straight to the Canghai Courtyard.
"Hmm?"
Just as he entered the room, a familiar figure entered his sight.
It was the owner of the Netherworld Coffin Shop, Qin Daofu.
"The helper that the Mad Daoist found is this guy?"
Lin Wudao was surprised.
Then, thinking about it, he understood.
The Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu were both members of the Terminator organization, so they should have long known each other.
Coincidentally, Qin Daofu was in the Heishui Ancient City, and he was very powerful.
He was naturally the best helper.
"Brother Ren, you're here!"
Seeing Lin Wudao arrive, the Mad Daoist immediately greeted him warmly.
"Come, let me introduce you. Brother Ren, this is Qin Daofu from the same organization as me. He's also the owner of the Netherworld Coffin Shop. His greatest hobby is holding funerals for others people. In addition, he also does some small businesses in helping people clean up trouble and resolve hatred. He is an honest man."
…
The Mad Daoist introduced with a smile.
An honest man who likes to hold funerals?
Lin Wudao was speechless.
Him? Honest? Did the Mad Daoist have some misunderstanding about what it meant to be "honest"?
"Nice to meet you."
Although Lin Wudao did not agree with the Mad Daoist's words, he did acknowledge Qin Daofu's strength.
This was a genuine Heaven Capture realm cultivator.
On the other hand, after not seeing him for some time, the Mad Daoist's strength had undergone a tremendous change. Now, he had reached perfection in the Heavenly Cycle realm.
"Looks like he has dug quite several graves during this period," Lin Wudao sighed silently.
The Mad Daoist was not clear about his thoughts.
At this moment, he was introducing Lin Wudao to Qin Daofu enthusiastically.
"Scavenger, this is Brother Ren Woxing, whom I've been telling you about. He's quite capable, and his methods and abilities are no weaker than any member of the organization. Previously, it was thanks to Brother Ren's help that I was able to escape from Sunset Battlefield. Brother Ren's greatest hobby is collecting corpses, especially the old ancestors of other families. As for you, you like to hold funerals for others. And me, I like to dig up the graves of the ancestors."
"The three of us are all dealing with the dead and are all in the death care industry. Isn't this what they call fate? Hahaha! I think the three of us can form an iron triangle and strengthen our business and cooperation with each other. Why don't the three of us just become sworn brothers?"
Suddenly, the Mad Daoist voiced out a bold idea.
After saying that, he used his gaze to seek their opinions.
Regarding this, Qin Daofu did not speak. Instead, he sized up Lin Wudao with a strange gaze.
Similarly, Lin Wudao was also sizing the other party up.
"Oh, let's put this suggestion aside for the time being. This is the first time Brother Qin Daofu and I have met, so we are not familiar with each other yet. After we are familiar with each other, we can consider becoming sworn brothers. There will be plenty of time in the future," Lin Wudao spoke first.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist immediately revealed a regretful expression.
"In that case, let's wait until we're familiar with each other. Next, let's discuss the matter of infiltrating the Heishui Secret Realm tomorrow."
Speaking of business, the Mad Daoist suddenly became serious.
"If nothing goes wrong, the Li family will follow the tradition and bury Li Xuandao in the Heishui Secret Realm tomorrow. At that time, all the old ancestors of the Li family will appear. The Li family now has nine patriarchs. Three of them have reached the Heaven Capture realm. The strongest is the First Patriarch, Li Tianhuang, who has reached the mid-stage of the Heaven Capture realm. The remaining six are all at the perfection stage of the Heavenly Cycle Realm."
"According to my plan, after the Li family opens the Heishui Secret Realm tomorrow, someone has to stay at the entrance of the secret realm and hold back the Li family's patriarchs. The other two will enter the secret realm and be responsible for digging graves and collecting corpses. The entire process must be fast. The longer the matter drags on, the more disadvantageous the situation will be for us," The Mad Daoist said in a deep voice.
Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu had no objections to his plan.
"Mad Daoist, you said that the corpses in the Heishui Secret Realm have transformed into powerful corpse demons because they have been contaminated with the evil energy in the Heishui River for many years. Then, their strength must be above the Heaven Capture realm, right?"
Suddenly, Lin Wudao seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Yes, that should be the case. Therefore, those who enter the Heishui Secret Realm must be at least in the Heaven Capture realm. In addition, the person guarding the entrance of the secret realm also needs to be powerful. Currently, I've only reached perfection in the Heavenly Cycle realm. I definitely can't stay at the entrance. Moreover, I need to enter to dig the graves. Therefore, I can only entrust Brother Ren or Scavenger to guard the entrance of the secret realm."
The Mad Daoist rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded slightly.
"In that case, I'll guard the entrance of the Heishui Secret Realm. Boss Qin will enter the secret realm with you to dig graves and suppress the corpse demons."
"I have no objections," Qin Daofu also expressed his opinion.
"Oh right, the day after tomorrow is the day when the Path to Heaven will descend. The current Heishui Ancient City can be said to be chaotic. Many forces and powerhouses from inside and outside Jiuzhou have gathered here. Other than dealing with the Li family's old ancestors, we also have to be careful of those irrelevant people to prevent them from ruining our plan. In addition, according to what I know, the people from the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau seem to have also arrived at the Heishui Ancient City."
Qin Daofu suddenly revealed new information.
What was that? The Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau had caught up?
Upon hearing this, the Mad Daoist's expression immediately turned ugly.

152 Sphere Heaven Prison!
"Who came?"
After a moment of silence, the Mad Daoist frowned and asked.
...
He was still rather wary of the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau. All this while, they had been like a mad dog, pestering him all the time. It was extremely annoying.
He had originally thought that he had escaped the pursuit of the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau. Who knew that they would still find him?
This made the Mad Daoist very angry.
Qin Daofu smiled when he saw the other party gnashing his teeth.
"I heard that many came this time round. The leader is a Guardian of the Imperial Heaven Bureau. His name is Han Buqu, and I heard that he has already reached the mid-stage of the Heaven Capture realm. In addition, he also brought a group of powerhouses, and the weakest among them is at the perfection stage of the Heavenly Cycle Realm. It seems that the Imperial Heavenly Bureau already knows that you are in the Heishui Ancient City," Qin Daofu said calmly.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist's face turned even uglier.
"Dammit! These bastards, they just had to come when I want to do something big, huh? Aren't they deliberately trying to ruin my plans? Looks like I have to be careful. I can't fall into the trap of the Imperial Heavenly Bureau."
As he spoke, he was already thinking about how to deal with them.
Similarly, when Lin Wudao heard that the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Sky Bureau had arrived at the Heishui Ancient City, he frowned slightly and a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
This was not good news.
Previously, in Sunset Battlefield, he had come into contact with the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau. Not only were they powerful, but they also had many tricks up their sleeves.
If he was not careful, he would be suppressed.
Since they had chased after the Mad Daoist and arrived here, they must have come prepared.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao couldn't help but be more vigilant.
…
Whoosh!
Just as the three of them were discussing countermeasures, an ancient spiritual boat tore through the void and descended on the Heishui Ancient City.
On the boat stood thirteen powerful figures.
Everyone's aura was extremely sharp, giving off a great sense of oppression.
The leader was a middle-aged man in black. His cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Heaven Capture realm.
This person was none other than the Guardian of the Imperial Heaven Bureau that Qin Daofu had mentioned, Han Buqu.
This time, they had been ordered to come to the Heishui Ancient City. On one hand, it was to experience the Path to Heaven that only appeared once every thousand years. On the other hand, they wanted to hunt down the Mad Daoist, then arrest him and bring him back to the Imperial Heaven Bureau.
Han Buzhi and the others had changed their appearances and completely concealed their identities to not attract attention.
"Boss, we've locked onto the Mad Daoist's trail. He's currently in the Myth Inn of Heishui Ancient City. Should we rush over immediately and arrest him? "
At this moment, a thin man came up to him and said.
In his hand, a mysterious green light bloomed and condensed into an ancient bronze mirror in the air. In the bronze mirror, the figure of the Mad Daoist was displayed.
Just to capture him, they had made ample preparations this time around.
"Boss, should we make a move? The Mad Daoist and his accomplices are all in the Myth Inn now. We can capture them all," Someone suggested.
At this moment, through the Shangqing Heaven-observing Mirror, they could see the scene in the Canghai Courtyard. The Mad Daoist, Lin Wudao, and Qin Daofu were discussing something.
In response, Han Buzhi glanced at it and shook his head.
"No, don't alert the enemy first. Before coming here, the Great Captain told me that the Mad Daoist's purpose this time is to dig up the Li family's ancestral grave. According to the Great Captain's calculations, the Mad Daoist will make his move tomorrow. At that time, they will most definitely fight with the Li family. We just have to wait until both parties are injured, then we will make a move and clean up the mess."
He said with a solemn face.
Hearing this, the surrounding members of the Imperial Heaven Bureau were a little worried.
"Boss, the Mad Daoist is very difficult to deal with. Moreover, he's a lunatic. I'm worried that they might slip away if we wait. Last time at the Sunset Battlefield, Mu Tianfeng and the others almost killed the Mad Daoist, but he still escaped in the end. We cannot repeat the same mistakes."
"Don't worry. This time, even if the Mad Daoist has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to escape. Before we left, the Great Captain specially gave me the Sphere Heaven Prison to capture the Mad Daoist."
Boom!
As he spoke, an ancient and mysterious black iron prison appeared in Han Bufan's palm, emitting a ferocious aura that suppressed everything.
Sphere Heaven Prison?
Looking at the ancient black iron prison, everyone cried out in surprise.
Then, smiles appeared on their faces.
"As expected, the Great Captain has considered everything. "
"With the Sphere Heaven Prison in hand, the Mad Daoist will surely be unable to escape."
"This is an ancient treasure. Once he's thrown into the Sphere Heaven Prison, even if the Mad Daoist has great abilities, he can't escape."
"This time, the Mad Daoist is dead!"
…
Everyone praised.
The Sphere Heaven Prison was a mystical object passed down from ancient times. It was especially used to suppress all kinds of criminals. As long as one was thrown into it, one's power would be restricted and one would become mortal.
Although the Mad Daoist was mysterious and unpredictable, as long as he was thrown into the Sphere Heaven Prison, he could forget about escaping.
"To prevent the Mad Daoist from noticing in advance, from now on, you must keep a close watch on his movements. As long as he makes any movements, arrest him immediately."
"Yes."
They bowed in response.
"By the way, boss, I heard that the Ninth Princess, Yan Wuxia, and the Eighteenth Prince, Yan Wugou, have come to the Heishui Ancient City. They want to see the unparalleled glory of the Path to Heaven. There are even rumors that even Eldest Princess Yan Huihuang will appear. Should we go over and pay our respects?"
At this moment, someone seemed to have thought of something and asked Han Buqu.
"The Ninth Princess and the Eighteenth Prince? "
Han Buqu frowned slightly.
"No. Our most important task now is to capture the Mad Daoist and his accomplices. Ignore the others."
After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately led everyone into the Heishui Ancient City.
After that, they settled down in a place not far from the Myth Inn, closely monitoring the movements of the Mad Daoist and the other two.
…
Myth Inn, Canghai Courtyard.
Lin Wudao's divine sense had noticed Han Buqu and the others when they arrived.
"The people from the Imperial Heaven Bureau are already here."
He sipped his tea and said slowly.
What was that? They were already here?
The Mad Daoist was shocked.
He was about to leave the Canghai Courtyard to search for them but was stopped by Lin Wudao.
"Don't worry. Since they did not attack immediately and are only secretly monitoring us, it seems that they are waiting for an opportunity. Mad Daoist, your plan might have been exposed," Lin Wudao said calmly.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist's face darkened.
"These bastards are like mad dogs. They just won't let me go. When I get the chance, I swear to kill all of them," He kept cursing.
"Brother Ren, why don't we find another place?"
"No need. Since the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau have already locked onto you, they will make a move as soon as there's any movement. For the sake of tomorrow's plan, let's not fight them to the death yet."
Lin Wudao shook his head.
"But those bastards will definitely be waiting for us tomorrow. What if they plot against us behind our backs?"
"Don't worry, I'm here. They can't threaten us. Tomorrow, I will guard the entrance of the Heishui Secret Realm. You guys can do whatever you want. I guarantee that no one will disturb you. However, I want all the corpses."
"Sure."
The Mad Daoist nodded excitedly. He trusted Lin Wudao very much.
"By the way, Brother Ren, if you can suppress the Li family or the people from the Imperial Heaven Bureau tomorrow, can you let me have some fun first? Let me reuse the trash. During this time, I've dug a few large tombs in a row, so my lifespan is about to reach the end…"
The Mad Daoist looked expectant.
"Alright. When the time comes, I'll leave some of them alive for you."
"Thank you, Brother Ren, hehe."
The Mad Daoist was all smiles.
At this moment, he was already looking forward to the scene of absorbing the lifespan of those powerhouses tomorrow.

153 Spiritual Treasure, Taiyi Water Droplet!
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
The next day.
...
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Early in the morning, sounds of gongs and drums could be heard from the Li family's residence. At the same time, sorrowful cries could be heard.
Soon after, under the gaze of many, twelve muscular men carrying an ancient bronze coffin slowly walked out of the Netherworld Coffin Shop.
Behind the coffin was a group of Li family members.
Today was the day of Li Xuandao's funeral.
This funeral was organized by the Netherworld Coffin Shop.
Having been promised a large sum of money, the Netherworld Coffin Shop put in a lot of effort to organize the funeral. Not only had they arranged for professional mourners, but they had also arranged for 12 Heavenly Cycle realm experts to carry the coffin.
The scene was extremely grand.
Looking over, many members of the Li family, including the young masters, elders, and even the old ancestors, had heavy expressions on their faces.
This scene caused the surrounding people to sigh endlessly.
"Sigh, it is their misfortune. It was supposed to be a birthday celebration, but it turned into a time of great sorrow."
"I heard that Li Xuandao died of mental and physical exhaustion due to excessive grief. However, why do I feel that this matter is a little strange?"
"Yeah, it's too much of a coincidence."
"Right, I heard that something even weirder happened in the Li family yesterday. Half of the resources in the Li family's treasury disappeared mysteriously."
"Yes, I have also heard about it. They should have offended someone."
…
The crowd chattered. All of them showed sympathy for the Li family's tragic experience in the past two days.
After all, the series of events was indeed too tragic.
Everyone from the Li family had a solemn expression on their faces, but deep in their hearts, there was an inexplicable panic and unease. Through the deaths of Li Xuandao and his two sons, they could feel that someone was deliberately targeting the Li family.
They wondered what more terrifying things were waiting for the Li family next.
Therefore, everyone was on tenterhooks.
Just like that, they arrived at the Heishui River with complicated feelings.
At this moment, a large number of cultivators had already gathered to watch the show.
This included Qi Changqing from the Beihai Family, Zhao Longxiang from the Coiling Dragon Family, Pei Jianzhi from the Langya Family, as well as Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong from the Qingyi Marquis's Mansion.
Because the descent of the Path to Heaven was approaching, many famous large factions had come to Heishui Ancient City as well.
This included the Xia Dynasty, the True Dragon Academy, the Shangqing Sword Palace, the Yinyue Dynasty, and many other ancient giants of the Green Heaven Region.
At this moment, all of them gathered at the bank of the Heishui River and looked at the Li family's funeral procession with interest.
"Eighteenth brother, I heard that the Li family's ancestral land is hidden in the Heishui River?"
In the crowd, a peerless woman in green looked at the Li family's funeral procession and said to the man in embroidered clothes next to her without turning her head.
"Yes. According to rumors, the Li family's ancestral land used to be a blessed land. However, for some reason, the grotto-heaven was abandoned. Later, by chance, the Li family's ancestors found it and used it as their ancestral land to bury the Li family's old ancestors, clan leaders, and clansmen who had made outstanding contributions. Now, that grotto-heaven has another name, the Heishui Secret Realm. In a moment, the Li family's patriarch will use a secret technique and a legacy supreme treasure to open the Heishui Secret Realm and bury Li Xuandao's body inside," The young man in embroidered clothes said calmly.
Hearing this, the eyes of the green-robed woman lit up.
"Opening the Heishui Secret Realm requires a secret technique and a treasure?"
"Of course. It is said that the ancestor of the Li family once obtained a Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl. This item is extremely wondrous. It can forcefully split the water of the Heishui River. Then, they'll use a secret technique to summon the black tortoise divine statue hidden at the bottom of the river. The entrance to the Heishui Secret Realm is in the mouth of the statue. When the grotto-heaven was created, it was indeed a divine work. It was extremely mysterious. You will be able to see it in a while."
The man in embroidered clothes seemed to know a lot about the Heishui Secret Realm. All kinds of secrets came out of his mouth.
Hearing his words, the green-robed woman became even more expectant.
Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she turned her gaze to the crowd in the distance.
"Eighteenth brother, look, aren't those the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau? Doesn't that person look like Han Buqu?"
Hmm? The Imperial Heaven Bureau?
The embroidered-robed man looked over and indeed saw Han Buqu hidden in the crowd.
"It really is. Strange, what are the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau doing in the Heishui Ancient City? Don't tell me they're also here to experience the Path to Heaven?"
"Eighteenth Brother, you don't know this, right? Han Buqu and the others from the Imperial Heavenly Bureau are here to arrest the Mad Daoist. "
Arrest the Mad Daoist?
The embroidered-robed man revealed a surprised expression.
"The Mad Daoist escaped to the Heishui Ancient City?"
"Yes. Previously, in Sunset Battlefield, the people sent by the Imperial Heaven Bureau to capture the Mad Daoist were wiped out. This time, they finally managed to deduce his whereabouts, so they definitely won't let him go," The green-robed woman said in a low voice.
"I see. But aren't Han Buqu and the others going to arrest the Mad Daoist? Why are they here? Could it be that the Mad Daoist wants to… Does he have designs on the Li family's ancestral grave?"
Suddenly, he thought of a shocking possibility.
"That should be the case. I heard that the Mad Daoist likes to dig graves the most. The older the grave, the more interested he is. Today, the Li family is going to open the Heishui Secret Realm. He will definitely go in and dig the grave. Hehe, if that's the case, there will be a good show to watch."
At this point, the eyes of the woman in green instantly burst out with intense anticipation. Her eyes were fixed on the Li family's funeral procession without blinking.
Similarly, the embroidered-robed man at the side also looked on with interest.
…
On the Heishui River, Lin Wudao, the Mad Daoist, and Qin Daofu had been waiting for a long time.
At this moment, with the help of the invisibility jade talisman, they hid in the void and quietly waited for the Heishui Secret Realm to open.
"Brother Ren, those bastards of the Imperial Heaven Bureau have indeed come. You have to work harder later."
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Though, I can only give you 15 minutes at most. You must finish within 15 minutes. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"Alright," The Mad Daoist nodded solemnly.
Fifteen minutes was enough for him to dig the graves.
"Get ready! The Li family is about to open the Heishui Secret Realm."
Suddenly, Qin Daofu's deep voice rang out.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In an instant, Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist looked in the direction of the Li family.
They saw that many members of the Li family had already arrived at the Heishui River.
After a grand ceremony, Li Duantian's familiar figure appeared in front of everyone again. Moreover, he was holding a jade box in his hand.
Whoosh!
The moment the jade box was opened, a burst of dazzling green light bloomed, illuminating all directions.
Inside was a fist-sized pearl.
"Spiritual treasure, Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl."
Lin Wudao was shocked when he saw the green pearl.
This was the first time he had seen a spiritual treasure.
The so-called spiritual treasures were naturally formed. Different spiritual treasures had different effects.
The biggest use of the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl was to separate water and avoid water. Wherever there was water, it had various magical effects.
"This is a treasure," He secretly praised.
Boom!
While Lin Wudao was sizing the pearl up, Li Duantian had already activated the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl. In an instant, a beam of dazzling green light surged out like a waterfall and fell into the Heishui River.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Accompanied by earth-shattering booms, the water in the Heishui River surged wildly under the might of the green light.
In the end, it was as if a pair of large hands had cut off the water of the Heishui River and then slowly parted the surface of the river.
Gradually, the riverbed was revealed.
"Black Tortoise Seal, summon the black tortoise!"
When the surface of the river was parted by the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl, Li Duantian formed a mysterious seal.
In an instant, the riverbed cracked.
Rumble!
Under everyone's shocked gazes, a 1,000-foot-tall black tortoise divine statue appeared from underground.
Then, it slowly opened its mouth and a huge passage was revealed.
"Time for burial!"
Seeing that the Heishui Secret Realm had been successfully opened, Li Duantian immediately gave the order. Immediately after, four powerful Li family elders carried Li Xuandao's coffin and walked towards the entrance step by step.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist's spirit was greatly boosted.
"Now!"
With a shout, he immediately rushed toward the Heishui Secret Realm at his fastest speed.

154 Unbelievably Bold, Forcibly Digging the Ancestral Grave!
"The Mad Daoist and the others have made their move! Ding Mo, use the Shangqing Heaven-observing Mirror to reveal his whereabouts. I want him to fight to the death with the Li family and then reap the benefits," Han Buqu growled.
"Yes, boss!"
...
The moment Han Buqu's voice rang out, a man named Ding Mo behind him immediately used a secret technique to condense a projection of the Shangqing Heaven-observing Mirror.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a mysterious light shot out and struck the void with lightning speed.
Then, under the shocked gazes of countless people, the figure of the Mad Daoist was forcefully revealed.
All the onlookers saw it!
"Damn you, Imperial Heaven Bureau, I'll fight you to the death!"
The sudden turn of events made the Mad Daoist both shocked and furious.
Seeing that his invisibility spell had been broken and everyone's eyes were focused on him, he didn't need to think to know that this was done by the people of the Heavenly Imperial Bureau.
For a moment, his hatred towards Han Buqu and the others had reached an extreme!
However, he still had to get down to business.
Although his figure and traces had been exposed, the Mad Daoist still did not forget his purpose.
Thump!
Stepping out, he instantly rode a rainbow light and rushed into the Heishui Secret Realm.
"F*ck, there was someone in midair? "
Everyone exclaimed.
"Who is that person? He actually entered the Li family's ancestral land? What does he want to do?"
"Heh, what else? He must want to dig the Li family's ancestral grave."
What? Dig the Li family's ancestral grave?
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd was instantly stunned!
They did not expect that there would be such a daring person in the Heishui Ancient City who would dare to dig the Li family's ancestral grave in public.
He was just extremely daring!
…
At the same time, when they saw the Mad Daoist in the air, the Li family members widened their eyes in disbelief.
However, what followed was overwhelming anger and hatred.
"Thief, you're courting death!"
Boom!
Li Duantian, who was the first to react, immediately drew an ancient greatsword with a roar. He rushed toward the Heishui Secret Realm with a monstrous aura.
It was obvious that they wanted to kill the Mad Daoist in one fell swoop to protect the dignity and face of the Li family.
However, the Mad Daoist had helpers!
Rumble!
Just as Li Duantian reached the Heishui Secret Realm, a terrifying hand suddenly descended from the sky. Before the four clan elders could react, it grabbed Li Xuandao's coffin.
Immediately after, another palm landed on Li Duantian ruthlessly.
The one who attacked was Lin Wudao!
Bang!
Under the miraculous effects of the Heavenly Cycle Fortune Pill, he temporarily raised his cultivation to the Heavenly Cycle realm. At the same time, he activated the "invincibility" attribute of the Origin Stone, and his battle prowess had once again increased by a major realm. With that, he had reached the early stage of the Heaven Capture realm!
"Ah!"
Li Duantian, who was only at the perfection stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm, was suppressed by the palm, and his bones were shattered.
"Brother Ren, don't kill him!"
The Mad Daoist's voice rang out from the secret realm.
"Hmph! Do your thing properly!"
After saying that, Lin Wudao waved his hand and threw Li Duantian's body into the Heishui Secret Realm.
"Great Tomb Supreme Technique!"
"Ah, you bastard! What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Seizing the opportunity, the Mad Daoist immediately cast the Great Tomb Supreme Technique on Li Duantian, frantically absorbing the latter's life force and converting it into his own lifespan.
In just a few breaths, Li Duantian was dead!
"Scavenger, hurry up and make your move! I'll dig the grave and you'll suppress those strange corpse demons. We have to finish the business within fifteen minutes," The Mad Daoist shouted anxiously.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
As soon as he finished speaking, an ancient golden pagoda appeared above his head. At the same time, a black hoe appeared in his hand.
It was the Imperial Dao ancient spiritual weapon, the Supreme Exquisite Pagoda, and the Mad Daoist's grave-digging supreme treasure, the Divine Hoe of Destruction.
Without any hesitation, the Mad Daoist kept an eye on the outside of the secret realm while he waved the Divine Hoe of Destruction in his hand and dug the graves in the secret realm crazily.
Soon, ancient bronze coffins appeared one after another.
Boom!
The moment the tombs were unearthed, the bronze coffins that had been buried for thousands of years exploded.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by ferocious roars, as well as monstrous fiendish energy, terrifying corpse demons began to awaken from the bronze coffins.
Each of them exuded a terrifying aura of the Heaven Capture realm.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist's expression changed drastically!
"Scavenger, quickly suppress them, quick!" He roared.
To be honest, there was no need for him to say anything. Qin Daofu knew to make a move.
Boom!
Just as his voice rang out, Qin Daofu's ferocious hand pressed down on the void. In an instant, a violent power erupted and suppressed all the revived corpse demons.
The terrifying power almost blew up the corpse demons on the spot.
"Scavenger, be gentle! These corpse demons are what Brother Ren needs. We can't blow them up. At that time, Brother Ren will be unhappy."
The Mad Daoist immediately cried out when he saw Qin Daofu's ferocity.
"Hmph, so much nonsense!" Qin Daofu snorted in dissatisfaction.
Although he was complaining, his actions were much gentler. He was no longer as ferocious and violent as before as he only suppressed the corpse demons instead of blowing them up with a single palm strike.
Seeing this scene, the Mad Daoist heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he waved the Divine Hoe of Destruction even crazier and continued to dig graves.
…
The Mad Daoist and the Scavenger were digging graves in the Heishui Secret Realm.
Outside, Lin Wudao was not idle either!
Rumble!
As his hand descended, he threw the four coffin-carrying Li family elders into the Heishui Secret Realm as if they were trash.
Soon, shrill screams came from inside.
Seeing this brutal scene, the onlookers by the Heishui River were all stunned.
"F*ck, where did this ruthless person come from? He suppressed the Li family's old ancestors with one palm each?" Someone exclaimed.
"Needless to say, he must be that person's accomplice!"
"The Li family is too miserable. They just experienced the tragic death of their clan leader and two young masters. Now, another peerless villain has come to dig up their ancestral graves."
"Sigh… Looks like someone is plotting against the Li family behind their backs."
…
Countless discussions continued.
Boom!
Just as everyone was in shock, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly tore through the sky.
"How dare you dig my Li family's ancestral grave? Go to hell!"
A voice filled with boundless hatred resounded in all directions.
Thump!
As the voice faded, an extremely ancient and terrifying azure cauldron suddenly descended from the sky.
It was wrapped in boundless might as it suppressed Lin Wudao.
Its appearance crushed the Heishui River, and even the surrounding air was blown up.
"Extreme Dao weapon!"
Everyone was shocked.
For a moment, countless gasps filled the air.

155 The Collision of Extreme Dao Weapons!
"Hurry up and leave!"
Seeing the appearance of the Extreme Dao weapon, the onlookers by the Heishui River were scared out of their wits.
...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
…
At that moment, everyone fled at their fastest speed.
The power of an Extreme Dao weapon was not something they could withstand. If they continued to stay, they would most definitely die without a burial place.
Even Han Buqu and the others from the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau had a drastic change in expression when they saw the huge azure cauldron, and they retreated frantically.
They could see that the person controlling the Extreme Dao weapon was the First Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Tianhuang.
He was a powerful cultivator at the mid-stage of the Heaven Capture realm!
With his cultivation base, the power and strength he could unleash when he activated an Extreme Dao weapon were beyond imagination. Even a Heaven Capture realm expert would be obliterated.
As expected, the cultivators who could not retreat in time were killed by the Extreme Dao power on the spot when the azure cauldron descended.
Thump!
At the same time, Li Tianhuang rode a rainbow light and crossed the void.
At this moment, his hair and beard were frenzied from his anger, and his face was extremely ferocious! His eyes were filled with endless killing intent and hatred as he looked at Lin Wudao.
"How dare you dig my ancestral grave! Go to hell!"
Boom!
Accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar, the huge azure cauldron immediately swept across the sky and suppressed Lin Wudao with monstrous power.
The terrifying Extreme Dao power crushed the entire Heishui River, and the surrounding buildings also began to collapse crazily.
Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.
"Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers?"
He scanned the cauldron with God's Spiritual Eye and learned all the information about it.
[Name: Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers]
[Level: Extreme Dao spiritual weapon]
[Rarity: Top-notch]
[Description: The Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers's main material is the azure sky black gold, in addition to a combination of 108 rare and unrivaled spiritual materials. It took ten years to refine. Eighty-one Extreme Dao restrictions were engraved on it.]
[Remark: A single attack has the power of mountains and rivers!]
…
It was a top-notch Extreme Dao spiritual weapon?
Lin Wudao was astonished!
However, he did not panic at all. Instead, his eyes emitted a high fighting spirit.
After all, he also had an Extreme Dao weapon!
Bang!
Just as Li Tianhuang activated the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers and pressed down aggressively, Lin Wudao did not hold back. He raised his hand and the Great Desolation Cauldron flew out instantly, colliding fiercely with the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
The collision of top-notch Extreme Dao weapons was extremely terrifying.
The Heishui River at the center of the battle was split by the mighty power. Then, the water in the river evaporated. The riverbed was also forcefully shattered.
As for the many buildings on the banks of the Heishui River, they were destroyed over and over again. Everything within a radius of 3,000 meters had become ruins.
Among them, thousands of living beings had died under the Extreme Dao power.
When immortals fought, mortals would suffer. It was nothing more than that.
Even Han Buqu and the others could not help but feel their scalps go numb when they saw such power.
"What? That person also has an Extreme Dao weapon? And it's not weaker than Li Tianhuang's Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers?"
Han Buqu clenched his fists tightly.
Even he couldn't withstand the terrifying power just now.
"So this is the power of an Extreme Dao weapon? It's simply too terrifying!"
Ding Mo was also extremely shocked.
Although they had some understanding of Extreme Dao weapons, they had never seen the true power and strength of those weapons, let alone two Extreme Dao weapons colliding crazily.
This time, all of them had their horizons broadened.
"Boss, this matter has become troublesome… The Mad Daoist's accomplice has a top-notch Extreme Dao weapon. It won't be easy to capture them."
A member of the Heavenly Defense Bureau frowned.
Han Buqing's expression darkened.
"Don't panic! Later, we'll act according to the situation. So what if they have an Extreme Dao weapon? In this battle with Li Tianhuang, the battle will surely end up with both sides suffering. At that time, we can come out and clean up the mess."
This… Could it really work?
Hearing Han Buqu's words, although everyone's hearts were filled with doubt, they did not dare to say anything.
They could only pray that Lin Wudao and Li Tianhuang would both be injured.
In fact, the battle between them had indeed entered a climax.
In a life-and-death battle, both parties went all out!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Li Tianhuang stood in the void and activated the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers crazily, suppressing Lin Wudao again and again.
However, Lin Wudao was not someone to be trifled with!
No matter how Li Tianhuang attacked, he was like a stabilizing needle, unmoving.
The two fought back and forth, turning the world upside down!
Gradually, Li Tianhuang could not take it anymore.
After all, with his cultivation, the spiritual energy consumed to control an Extreme Dao weapon was huge.
After a long time, he could not withstand the consumption at all!
Compared to him, Lin Wudao was much better.
After all, he cultivated the Emperor's Scripture of the Primordial Imperial Race. In terms of spiritual energy, be it quality or capacity, it was far from what Li Tianhuang could compare to.
Therefore, he maintained a calm and indifferent expression.
Furthermore, as time passed, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger.
Thump!
Seeing that Li Tianhuang could not hold on any longer, he immediately used the Heavenly Dragon Palm to suppress him. This palm strike contained the strength of 3,000 ancient heavenly dragons.
"Ah!"
Li Tianhuang let out a miserable shriek as he was crushed by the palm. His left shoulder was almost smashed into smithereens.
"Old ancestor!"
"Old ancestor!"
"Patriarch!"
…
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Li Tianhuang had been defeated, the Li family members exclaimed in shock.
"Hurry up! Quickly close the Heishui Secret Realm!" Li Tianhuang roared with all his strength.
As soon as he said this, everyone instantly came to their senses.
Rumble!
Immediately, the other patriarchs activated their secret techniques and began to close the Heishui Secret Realm.
In an instant, accompanied by a series of rumbles, the entrance to the secret realm was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu were still inside.
At this moment, Lin Wudao also understood Li Tianhuang and the others' intentions. They wanted to use the power of the Heishui Secret Realm to forcefully keep the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu inside forever.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that the entrance of the secret realm was getting smaller and smaller, Lin Wudao let out a cold roar. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and the Great Desolation Cauldron instantly landed at the entrance.
"Suppress!"
Buzz!
A vast supreme power erupted, supporting the entrance of the Heishui Secret Realm.
The Great Desolation Cauldron had the power to suppress an area, after all.
…
"Brother Ren, are you alright?" The Mad Daoist asked from inside the secret realm.
"I'm fine! Hurry up, I can still hold on!" He said without looking back.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly focused.
At that moment, a Heaven Capture realm patriarch of the Li family was rapidly heading toward the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers. He was clearly trying to take the opportunity to use the power of the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers to suppress Lin Wudao.
After all, Lin Wudao's Great Desolation Cauldron had been used to suppress the entrance of the secret realm. He did not have any more weapons.
"Hmph, give it to me!"
After knowing the Li family's intentions, how could Lin Wudao let them succeed?
Whoosh!
He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers. He grabbed it and struck the Heaven Capture realm patriarch with his palm.
"Ah!"
With a miserable cry, the patriarch was directly suppressed, and all the bones and tendons in his body shattered.
Then, Lin Wudao waved his hand and threw him into the Heishui Secret Realm.
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
It was also at this moment that a ferocious and strange figure silently appeared behind Lin Wudao. He held an ancient battle spear in his hand and stabbed it into the latter's body fiercely.

156 Invincible Might, Suppress All!
"Let's see if you still won't die this time!"
An extremely ferocious voice sounded behind Lin Wudao.
...
The strange figure was the last Heaven Capture realm Patriarch of the Li Family. While Lin Wudao was suppressing the others, he took the opportunity to go all out in an attempt to kill the other party.
However, he had underestimated Lin Wudao.
"Ding!"
When the spear in his hand landed on Lin Wudao's back, a sharp sound of metal clashing rang out. The powerful spear broke on the spot.
In contrast, Lin Wudao did not suffer any injuries.
"This… How is that possible?"
Looking at the unharmed Lin Wudao and the shattered spear in his hand, the patriarch's eyes widened in disbelief.
It was apparent he couldn't believe that Lin Wudao's physical body was so powerful.
That spear was an ancient spiritual weapon. Even a powerhouse above the Heaven Capture realm would not be able to withstand it. Yet, Lin Wudao was not injured at all!
Not only did the scene shock the Heaven Capture realm patriarch, but it also caused the spectators in the distance to gasp.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
They did not know that with the protection of the Origin Stone, Lin Wudao's body was already indestructible. No living creature or substance in the world could cause him any harm.
A mere ancient spiritual weapon was nothing in his eyes.
"Are you surprised? Since you can't kill me, then I can only kill you."
After saying that, under the shocked gaze of the Heaven Capture realm patriarch, Lin Wudao pressed down with his palm, forcefully shattering the other party's bones and tendons, as well as exploding the other party's elixir field.
After that, he threw the patriarch, together with Li Tianhuang and the other two Heaven Capture realm patriarchs, into the Heishui Secret Realm.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
…
Soon, the screams of Li Tianhuang and the others could be heard from the secret realm.
The Mad Daoist, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately cast the Great Tomb Supreme Technique the moment those patriarchs entered the secret realm, absorbing all the life force in their bodies.
In an instant, his lifespan increased greatly.
"Alright, it's done!"
Just as the Mad Daoist absorbed the life force of Li Tianhuang and the other two, Qin Daofu's voice came from the depths of the secret realm.
He carried a golden spear and strode out with a ferocious aura.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist did not stay any longer.
"Let's go!"
The two stepped out of the Heishui Secret Realm in a flash.
"Brother Ren, it's done. Retreat!" He roared.
After saying that, he was prepared to shatter an invisibility jade talisman and quickly escape from this place.
However, the matters didn't go as he wished.
Rumble!
Just as the Mad Daoist rushed out of the Heishui Secret Realm, a mysterious green light suddenly swept across the void and landed on his body.
It imprisoned his body and made him unable to move.
Immediately after, accompanied by an ancient and brutal aura, a black iron prison descended from the sky and imprisoned him and Qin Daofu.
In an instant, they could feel that their cultivation was dropping, seemingly suppressed.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist turned pale with fright.
"Shit! This is the Sphere Heaven Prison that has been passed down from ancient times. It is specially used to imprison criminals. Even Divine Mansion realm powerhouses will be suppressed and reduced to a mortal," Qin Daofu said in a deep voice.
What was that? Sphere Heaven Prison?
Hearing this name, the Mad Daoist's face turned extremely ugly.
The Divine Mansion realm was a powerful realm that had surpassed the Heaven Capture realm by several large realms. It was said that the Great Captain of the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau was also an expert in this realm.
If even a Divine Mansion realm expert could not resist, wouldn't they be finished?
"Is there a way out?"
"Yes. Give me ten breaths, I will chop it into pieces."
As he spoke, Qin Daofu raised the golden battle spear in his hand and began to attack wildly.
Ten breaths?
The Mad Daoist's heart was extremely heavy.
Although it seemed to be extremely short, the people of the Imperial Heaven Bureau would not give them a chance to catch their breaths. Once they were imprisoned in the Sphere Heaven Prison, they would certainly kill them.
As expected, as soon as the Sphere Heaven Prison descended, Han Buqu led twelve experts from the Imperial Heaven Bureau and instantly descended on the Heishui River.
"Men, go and kill the Mad Daoist. Split up half the people and follow me to suppress the other accomplice!" Han Buqu roared.
"Yes!"
…
Everyone split up at their fastest speed.
"How dare you, bastard! How dare you not surrender now that you've encountered the Xia Dynasty's Imperial Heaven Bureau? "
An earth-shaking roar resounded in all directions.
Thump!
The moment the voice fell, Han Buqu stretched out his hand, and an ancient dark yellow bell, wrapped in a shocking power, pressed down on Lin Wudao.
"Level 8 ancient spiritual weapon?"
Lin Wudao glanced at it with disdain.
"Get lost!"
Facing the powerful might of the level 8 ancient spiritual weapon, he did not think much of it at all. The moment Han Buqu arrived in front of him, he raised his hand and unleashed the Heavenly Dragon Palm, suppressing the other party fiercely.
Boom!
An earth-shaking boom echoed throughout the Heishui River.
With the support of the Origin Stone, Lin Wudao unleashed the power of more than 3,000 ancient heavenly dragons with the Heavenly Dragon Palm, sending the dark yellow bell flying 30,000 meters away.
Immediately after, he was going to use this opportunity to suppress Han Buqu in one go.
However, just as Lin Wudao's palm was about to press down on Han Buqu, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a mysterious jade talisman being crushed by the other party from the corner of his eye.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying sword energy suddenly tore through the void and slashed down fiercely with lightning speed.
The aura and power it exuded had already surpassed the Heaven Capture realm.
"An attack from a great cultivator of the Divine Mansion realm?"
Lin Wudao's heart trembled when he saw this with God's Spiritual Eye.
At the same time, six Heaven Capture realm members of the Imperial Heaven Bureau charged toward him from all directions.
The Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu were also attacked.
Seeing this scene, Lin Wudao's eyes turned cold.
Whoosh!
With a thought, the Origin Stone formed a doppelganger that fused into the void.
In the blink of an eye, the doppelganger arrived in front of the Mad Daoist.
"Brother Ren?"
Both the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu widened their eyes when they suddenly saw Lin Wudao.
Because they saw with their own eyes that there was another "Lin Wudao" in the distance.
"Let's go."
Lin Wudao ignored their shock and confusion, nor did he explain anything.
Swoosh!
Using his doppelganger's heaven-defying ability to walk through the void and ignore everything, Lin Wudao entered the Sphere Heaven Prison and dragged the two out under the shocked gazes of the Imperial Heaven Bureau's members.
It's impolite not to reciprocate.
After rescuing the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu, Lin Wudao swept his hand through the air and stuffed the six members of the Imperial Heaven Bureau who were about to kill them into the Sphere Heaven Prison.
"Watch them carefully. I'll go kill Han Buqu."
"Let me help you."
Boom!
As he spoke, Qin Daofu took a step forward. He brandished the golden spear in his hand and charged straight toward Han Buqu and the others.
At the same time, the terrifying Divine Mansion realm attack in the air also landed on Lin Wudao.
However, what shocked Han Buqu and the others was that Lin Wudao was not killed by the single sword strike as they had imagined. Rather, he was still completely fine and did not suffer any injuries.
"How is this possible? How can your physical body be so powerful? That's a Divine Mansion realm attack!" Han Buqu cried out in shock.
The scene in front of him completely overturned his understanding.
"You know nothing about the physical body."
A cold voice rang in his ears.
Hearing this, Han Buqu was so scared that his hair stood on end.
Just as he was about to use a secret technique to escape, a terrifying hand descended from above. The palm shattered his elixir field, as well as all his bones and tendons.
Similarly, the other six members of the Imperial Heaven Bureau were also suppressed by Qin Daofu.
"Let's go."
After settling everything perfectly, Lin Wudao plundered everything of value.
Then, under the shocked gazes of countless people, he carried the Sphere Heaven Prison with the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu and quickly left the Heishui River.

157 I Like to Expiate the Sins of the Dead
Lin Wudao and the others left in satisfaction.
In contrast, the countless cultivators around the Heishui River were still immersed in the endless shock, unable to recover for a long time.
...
The scene was silent. It was only after a long while that everyone gradually came back to their senses.
They were all frightened by the unparalleled might that Lin Wudao had displayed.
"Wow… Where did this great villain come from? Isn't he too ruthless?" Someone exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"He's indeed very ruthless. The three Heaven Capture realm old ancestors of the Li family even had an Extreme Dao weapon like the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers, yet they were still forcefully suppressed by that person."
"And those people from the Imperial Heaven Bureau, he also killed them all."
"Tsk tsk, we can't afford to offend such a peerless and vicious person."
"The Li family is just too unlucky. First, their clan leader and young masters died. Now, three of their old ancestors are dead. They also lost their Extreme Dao weapon and even their ancestral graves were dug."
"The heavens do not bless the Li family…"
…
Countless discussions came from the crowd.
Naturally, this included the Beihai family, the Panlong family, the Langya family, and even the Xia Dynasty's Ninth Princess Yan Wuxia and Eighteenth Prince Yan Wugou.
The hearts of all the large factions inside and outside Jiuzhou were filled with monstrous waves.
They had never met such a terrifying person.
Even after Lin Wudao left, Yan Wuxia's exquisite face was still filled with shock.
"Eighteenth brother, do you know who that person was? He's too terrifying! Han Buqu and the others of the Imperial Heaven Bureau were suppressed by him just like that. Since they have fallen into the hands of such a vicious person, their fate would most certainly be incomparably miserable. Furthermore, that powerful Divine Mansion realm attack of the Great Captain couldn't hurt him?! This is just unbelievable!" Yan Wuxia exclaimed.
This time, she had come out to see the legendary Path to Heaven. She hadn't expected that she would see such a terrifying and ferocious person before that. It simply subverted her understanding.
She was not the only one who was so shocked. Yan Wugou, who was next to her, was also shocked.
"That person is indeed terrifying. Let alone Han Buqu, even if the Great Captain of the Imperial Heaven Bureau comes, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to capture the other party. This time, the Imperial Heaven Bureau has met its match…"
At this point, a strange smile appeared on Yan Wugou's face. He looked like he was watching a good show.
"Eighteenth Brother, what do you think the expression of the arrogant and cold-faced Yama, the Great Captain, would be like if he learned what happened today?" At this moment, Yan Wuxia asked curiously.
Hearing this, Yan Wugou smiled lightly.
"The Great Captain is too conceited and arrogant. Other than Father, he doesn't put anyone in his eyes. If he knows about today's matter, I'm afraid he will personally take action."
Personally take action?
Yan Wuxia was interested.
"Eighteenth brother, you mean… The cold-faced Yama would come after the Mad Daoist himself?"
"Well, it's possible. However, there are many things going on in the dynasty right now, and it's not very peaceful. He needs to be in charge of the Imperial Heaven Bureau. Therefore, he probably won't leave."
"Haha, if that's the case, there's going to be a good show. At that time, if even the cold-faced Yama can't suppress the Mad Daoist, let's see where he will put his old face, hehe…"
Seemingly having thought of something fun, Yan Wuxia's face was full of smiles.
Whoosh!
Just as they were gloating, a cold and dignified woman suddenly appeared behind them. There was no expression on her beautiful face.
"What are you laughing at?" Her cold voice slowly sounded.
Hmm?
The sudden voice made both Yan Wuxia and Yan Wuxia jump.
They turned around and looked. With that, the smiles on their faces instantly froze, replaced by intense nervousness and uneasiness.
"Big… Big sister, why are you here?" Yan Wuxia asked softly.
The person before her was the Eldest Princess of the Xia Dynasty, Yan Huihuang.
From birth until now, she had always been a legend.
Whether it was in the Xia Dynasty, the Green Heaven Region, or even the vast Great World of Desolation, Yan Huihuang was an overwhelming prodigy.
Although she was a woman, she suppressed countless geniuses and elites until they could not raise their heads.
Even as her siblings, they were also very careful and did not dare to go against her.
In fact, she was sometimes even more terrifying than the Emperor of Xia.
Although Yan Huihuang did not participate in the affairs of the dynasty, her prestige in the dynasty was no weaker than the Emperor of Xia.
Yan Wuxia and Yan Wugou were both extremely nervous about her sudden appearance.
"What were you guys talking about?"
"I… We…"
"It's like this, big sister. Just now, Han Buqu of the Imperial Heaven Bureau led twelve experts of the Imperial Heaven Bureau to capture the Mad Daoist. In the end, they were suppressed by his accomplices. Ninth sister and I are guessing if the Great Captian of the Imperial Heaven Bureau will personally take action," Yan Wugou hurriedly added.
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Uh, no."
"If that's the case, then why think about it so much?"
Yan Huihuang's face was indifferent.
"Tomorrow is the day when the Path to Heaven descends to the mortal world. Both of you are to follow me and are not allowed to go anywhere. The Heishui Ancient City is chaotic. Don't cause me any trouble."
"Yes."
"Got it."
Yan Wuxia and Yan Wugou quickly agreed.
Then, they looked at each other helplessly and left with Yan Huihuang.
…
On the other side, after the battle at the Heishui River, Lin Wudao, the Mad Daoist, and Qin Daofu left the Heishui Ancient City with the Sphere Heaven Prison in their hands.
Finally, they arrived at a mountain peak ten thousand miles away.
Bang!
The Sphere Heaven Prison descended, throwing Han Buqu and the rest to the ground.
Then, Lin Wudao took out all the spoils of war he had obtained this time, including the Extreme Dao spiritual weapon Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers, the spiritual treasure Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl, and the level 8 ancient spiritual weapon.
"Say, how should we divide these things?"
After a long silence, Lin Wudao broke the silence.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu looked at each other, seemingly understanding each other's thoughts.
"Brother Ren, we had an agreement. I was only responsible for digging the grave, and I already got what I wanted. This time, you contributed the most. These things should all belong to you," The Mad Daoist replied with a smile.
He had already absorbed all the life force from Han Buqu, Li Tianhuang, and others, increasing his lifespan by a total of 8,000 years.
In addition, because he had dug a large number of graves in the Heishui Secret Realm, his cultivation had also increased greatly. He had already risen from the perfection stage of the Heavenly Cycle Realm to the intermediate stage of the Heaven Capture realm.
He was extremely satisfied with this.
Although the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers and the other items were extremely valuable, he knew that he shouldn't take them.
"Qin Daofu, what about you? What do you want?"
After hearing the Mad Daoist's words, Lin Wudao immediately turned his gaze to Qin Daofu.
This time, the other party also contributed a lot.
"I don't want these things either. They're all yours," Qin Daofu grinned and said.
Hmm? He didn't want them either?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
He did not understand what Qin Daofu was planning.
"Uh… Brother Ren, I don't want these treasures, but I want to borrow these corpses. Is that okay?" Qin Daofu rubbed his hands and said.
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Hmm? Borrow the corpses? Why?
Lin Wudao was even more surprised.
"Brother Ren, Qin Daofu is like us. He has a special hobby. You like to collect other people's ancestors, and I like to dig up other people's ancestral graves. As for Qin Daofu, he likes to expiate the sins of the dead. This is because the cultivation technique he cultivates is special. The more he expiates the sins of the dead, the stronger the strength of the dead, and the faster his cultivation will increase. He's also a weirdo, haha…"
At this moment, the Mad Daoist laughed.
Expiate the sins of the dead? Which would increase his cultivation?
Hearing this, Lin Wudao was stunned at first, but then he revealed an extremely strange expression.
Whoosh!
He scanned Qin Daofu with God's Spiritual Eye and found some interesting information about him.
[Name: Qin Daofu]
[Name: Scavenger]

[4. His greatest hobby in life is the expiate the sins of the dead, hold funerals, and send people to their graves.]
…
A lot of information was displayed.
After reading it, Lin Wudao only wanted to say one word: Weirdo.
None of the three of them was normal.

158 Human Dao Ancient Spiritual Weapon, Sky-shaking Bell!
"So it seems we're on the same path. In that case, you can use these corpses as you wish. Just return them to me after you have expiated their sins," Lin Wudao agreed readily.
Hearing this, Qin Daofu was overjoyed.
...
"Thank you, Brother Ren. Don't worry. It won't take long, and the corpses won't be damaged."
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Daofu waved his hand, and an ancient and mysterious black altar appeared on the ground, emitting a strange aura.
[Name: Undead Altar]
[Type: Heaven and Earth miraculous item]
[Description: 1. A mystical item born in the Nine Netherworlds. By placing the dead on the Undead Altar, the dead's sins can be expiated so that their souls have a place to return.]
[2. When used together with the Sin Expiation Scripture, it can increase the user's cultivation and strength.]
[3. Currently, the Undead Altar belongs to Qin Daofu.]
…
All the information about the Undead Altar was displayed.
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Wudao was sizing the Undead Altar up with God's Spiritual Eye, Qin Daofu put on a black robe.
Then, his hands formed secret techniques and seals as he expiated the sins of Li Tianhuang, Han Buqu, and the many corpse demons he had dug out.
At the same time, he was muttering something.
Lin Wudao couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
However, what surprised him was that as Qin Daofu continued to expiate the sins of the dead, a clear aura invisible to the naked eye began to be extracted from the corpses.
Immediately after, they fused into Qin Daofu's body.
Gradually, Qin Daofu's cultivation began to rise.
Thump!
After about two hours, when the sin of the last corpse was expiated, Qin Daofu's cultivation had also broken through from the final stage of the Heaven Capture realm to the peak.
He wasn't far from the perfection stage.
"This Sin Expiation Scripture is indeed magical," Lin Wudao praised in his heart.
This dharma technique was similar to the Heavenly Grave Sutra that the Mad Daoist cultivated. Both used the dead as the foundation to increase their strength. It was just that the methods were different.
This time, Lin Wudao's horizons were broadened.
…
Whoosh!
Feeling the powerful power surging through his body, Qin Daofu's face blossomed with a brilliant smile. Whether it was his spirit, his blood energy, or his appearance, all of them had undergone tremendous changes.
"Thank you, Brother Ren. This time around, all of us have obtained great benefits. I wonder when such a good thing will happen again," He sighed.
The speaker had no such intentions, but the listener took it to heart.
When Qin Daofu finished speaking, the Mad Daoist came over with a mysterious expression.
"Qin Daofu, Brother Ren, do you want to pull off another big job?"
Hmm? There was another big job?
The two were interested.
"Where?"
"What's the place?"
They asked at the same time.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist smiled mysteriously and pointed in the direction of the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
"Have you heard of the Taicang Ancient Kingdom?"
Taicang Ancient Kingdom?
Lin Wudao's heart jumped.
"I've indeed heard a little about this. It is said that the Taicang Ancient Kingdom is an ancient kingdom that has existed for eighty thousand years. Later on, for some unknown reason, it declined and became the ancestral land of the Barbarian race."
He told them the information he had obtained from Yin Siming.
In response, the Mad Daoist showed a look of agreement.
"That's right, that's about it. The Taicang Ancient Kingdom of the past was a colossus that ruled over Jiuzhou and several other territories outside of Jiuzhou. Regardless of whether it was in terms of power or foundation, they were incomparably powerful. Although it's been dead for eighty thousand years, plus it's been opened several times during this period, and it's even become the ancestral land of the Barbarian race, there are still many secrets, opportunities, and treasures hidden in it. It's definitely going to be great. Now, the Barbarian race is trying its best to open the lost ancestral land. We can go and join in the fun. Maybe we can get something good," The Mad Daoist said with a smile.
His eyes were filled with greed.
Lin Wudao naturally had no objections.
Even if the Mad Daoist didn't say anything, he would still go to the ancestral land of the Barbarian race in the Myriad Great Mountain Range after participating in the Path to Heaven.
After all, the Seal of All Beings he needed was in that ancestral land. It was indispensable to build the Golden Pool of Fate.
"If there are benefits, then do it. I have no objections," Qin Daofu replied with a smile.
They then looked at Lin Wudao.
"I have no objections either."
"Good! It's happily decided then. After the Path to Heaven is over, we'll set off for the Myriad Great Mountain Range and go to the ancestral land of the Barbarian race to take a look."
The Mad Daoist was excited.
In this world, there was nothing that made him happier than digging graves.
"In that case, let's keep in touch when the time comes."
After saying that, Qin Daofu immediately rode a rainbow light and left.
Seeing this, the Mad Daoist also planned to leave.
"Wait a minute."
"Brother Ren, is there anything else?"
"Oh, do you still have any invisibility jade talismans? Give me a few more. I find this thing quite useful."
Invisibility jade talismans?
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist laughed.
"I was wondering what it was. So you want the invisibility jade talismans. I have plenty of such things. Previously, I made a lot in preparation for the Heishui Mystic Realm. Moreover, the quality is even better than before. Even an expert at the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm would not be able to detect you."
As he spoke, the Mad Daoist immediately took out a cloth bag and threw it to Lin Wudao.
"There are ten invisibility jade talismans in there. In the next few days, I'll make a batch of better ones to be used in the ancestral land of the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Is there anything else?"
"Nope."
"Then I'll leave first. I'll contact you before our trip to the Myriad Great Mountain Range."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mad Daoist disappeared from where he was.
After they left, Lin Wudao went through the loot in front of him. Looking at the various treasures on the ground, a smile appeared on his face.
This time, he had indeed reaped a huge harvest from the Heishui Secret Realm.
The most valuable items were undoubtedly the Extreme Dao spiritual weapon Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers, and the spiritual treasure Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl.
These two things were things that could only be encountered by luck.
Lin Wudao didn't sacrifice the Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl for Fate Energy value because he felt that such a rare spiritual treasure might be useful in many ways in the future.
As for the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers, he naturally chose to synthesize it.
"The Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers is too conspicuous. Everyone knows that it belongs to the Li family. As long as I take it out, my identity will definitely be exposed. Hmm, I have to change its appearance…" Lin Wudao muttered to himself.
As he spoke, his gaze landed on a huge dark yellow bell.
This was a level 8 ancient spiritual weapon that belonged to Han Buqu. It was quite suitable for synthesis.
"System, how much Fate Energy value is needed to synthesize the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers with the dark yellow bell as the main body?"
[Ten million.]
"Okay, synthesize it."
Lin Wudao didn't care about a mere 10 million.
Rumble!
Soon, under the mighty power of the system, the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers began to disintegrate. All its essence and Extreme Dao restrictions were extracted and fused into the dark yellow bell.
After the synthesis was completed, the original dark yellow bell looked different. Its entire body was now pitch-black, and its shape was ancient and grand.
With just a glance, Lin Wudao felt a vast and majestic aura surging over like a great river. Even his soul was trembling.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully synthesizing the Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon, Sky-shaking Bell.]
Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
Then, he checked the introduction of the Sky-shaking Bell.
[Name: Sky-shaking Bell]
[Level: Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon]
[Rarity: Low grade]
[Description: Synthesized from the level 8 ancient spiritual weapon dark yellow bell and the Extreme Dao spiritual weapon Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers.]
[Function 1. Carrying the power of mountains and rivers, it can smash ancient spiritual weapons below the Human Dao.]
[Function 2: When the Sky-shaking Bell is rung, it can shatter the souls of living beings. The specific power depends on the user's cultivation. With the current quality, it can shatter the souls of living beings of the same major realm.]
…
A lot of information appeared before his eyes.
"System, which is stronger, a level 1 ancient spiritual weapon or an Extreme Dao spiritual weapon?"
[The Extreme Dao spiritual weapon, of course.]
[A top-notch Extreme Dao spiritual weapon is stronger than a level 10 ancient spiritual weapon but weaker than a Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon.]
The system responded.
After listening to it, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.
With this, he had a rough understanding of the strength of spiritual weapons and ancient spirit weapons.
"This Sky-shaking Bell is much more powerful than the Cauldron of Mountains and Rivers in my hands. When the time comes, with the help of the Heavenly Cycle Fortune Pill and the Origin Stone, my cultivation will reach the Heaven Capture realm. If I use the Sky-shaking Bell, I can shatter the soul of a perfection stage Heaven Capture realm cultivator. In the future, I will have another powerful trump card."
He was very satisfied.
After looking at the bell for a long time, Lin Wudao then threw Li Tianhuang, Han Buding, and the corpse demons into the Corpse-refining Furnace.
He began to refine them wantonly.

159 Divide the Li Family? I Don't Agree!
Thump!
Half a day later, when the last wisp of essence was extracted from the Corpse-refining Furnace, Lin Wudao's cultivation had successfully broken through from the final-stage Grotto-Heaven realm to the Innate Sky realm.
...
"Not bad."
He was quite satisfied with this result.
Although the low-quality Corpse-refining Furnace could only extract one ten-thousandth of the corpses' essence, he had obtained a large number of corpses from the Heishui Secret Realm this time.
Just the Li family's patriarch corpses over the past 5000 years alone were more than 100.
Added to Li Tianhuang, Han Buqu, and the others, all of whom were in the Heaven Capture realm, it was enough to push Lin Wudao's cultivation to the Innate Sky realm.
"Time to go back."
After familiarizing himself with the sudden increase in power, Lin Wudao stored the Sphere Heaven Prison in the system space. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.
In an instant, he had returned to the Myth Inn.
…
"City Lord, we've just received news that the Beihai Family, the Panlong Family, and the Langya Family have all sent their Heaven Capture realm powerhouses to the Li Family."
Lin Wudao had just sat down when Yin Siming came up to him.
Hmm? The three aristocratic families all went to the Li family?
Hearing this news, Lin Wudao could not help but narrow his eyes.
He smelled something unusual.
"What are they trying to do? Could it be that they want to take advantage of the Li family's current weakness?"
"We can't rule out this possibility."
Yin Siming nodded gently.
"Due to the huge changes in the past few days, the Li family's foundation and strength are far inferior to the other three aristocratic families. They won't sit still, especially the Panlong Family and the Beihai Family. Their relationship with the Li Family wasn't good, to begin with. Now that the Li Family has suddenly fallen, they certainly won't let go of this golden opportunity. If they can divide the Li family, their strength will rise to another level. In short, the Li family is in danger," Yin Siming said in a deep voice.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
"City Lord, why don't we go and interfere?" He abruptly made a risky suggestion.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao pondered, "The fall of the Li family is a foregone conclusion. I can't let the three great aristocratic families monopolize such a huge piece of fat meat."
A moment later, Lin Wudao also made his decision.
He agreed to Yin Siming's suggestion to interfere.
"System, raise Li Zangtian's cultivation to the Heaven Capture realm."
[Ding!]
[Congratulations. You have consumed five million Fate Energy value and successfully raised Li Zangtian's cultivation to the Heaven Capture realm. The mourner can now crush all Heaven Capture realm powerhouses and suppress those who have reached perfection.]
In his mind, a system notification sounded.
"Let's go to the Li family."
Lin Wudao called Li Zangtian, and then the three of them rushed to the Li family as fast as they could.
…
Purple Cloud Hall.
The three top ancient aristocratic families: Beihai Family, the Panlong Family, and the Langya Family, were gathered.
Every aristocratic family had sent a Heaven Capture realm old ancestor.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Although this was the Li family's territory, they had no right to speak at all. Instead, they were reduced to meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of the three aristocratic families.
At this moment, the three aristocratic families were in a standoff. They were quarreling endlessly in the matter of dividing the Li family.
"The Heishui Family has been on good terms with my Langya Family for generations. Although they've encountered a disaster now, they're not someone that the Beihai Family and the Panlong Family can bully. If you want to take advantage of the situation and divide the Li family, you have to ask if the Langya family agrees first. As long as my Langya family still has a breath left, you can forget about touching the Li family."
Inside the Purple Cloud Hall, a red-robed old man with a fierce aura said righteously.
Boom!
As he spoke, he instantly unleashed his power of the Heaven Capture realm, sweeping through the hall.
This person was called Pei Youming.
He was a respected old ancestor of the Langya Family. In terms of cultivation and strength, he was only slightly weaker than Li Tianhuang.
After learning of the huge change in the Li family, the Langya family immediately sent him to the Heishui Ancient City as quickly as possible.
Their goal was to stabilize the situation.
However, the schemes and ideas of the Langya family could fool others, but not the Beihai family and the Panlong family.
They were all old foxes who had been around for thousands of years.
How could they be fooled?
This time, the Beihai Family had also sent a Heaven Capture realm patriarch. His name was Qi Chunqiu, and he was no weaker than Pei Youming in terms of cultivation and strength.
"Hmph, you say it better than you sing," He sneered coldly, "Pei, don't think that we don't know what the Langya Family is up to. On the surface, you're helping the Li Family, but it's just an excuse. You want to use righteousness to chase us away. Then, your Langya Family can naturally annex the Li Family. How can such a cunning trick deceive us?" Qi Chunqiu sneered.
Similarly, the old ancestor from the Panlong family also sneered, "Your Langya Family has a big appetite. Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death? I'll make it clear that the Panlong family wants one-third of the Li family's resources. No matter who comes, I won't budge."
His domineering voice resounded throughout the hall. His name was Zhao Panlong, and he was born to be more domineering than others.
"Ha, one-third? The Panlong family is greedy as ever."
"Still better than the Langya Family."
Zhao Panlong's expression was cold. He sat there, not flustered in the least.
"Since the Panlong family wants one-third of the resources, the Beihai family must also get a share of the profits. To be fair, I want a third too."
After Zhao Panlong, Qi Chunqiu also said slowly.
"You guys…"
Looking at the three great aristocratic families quarreling over the division of benefits in the Purple Cloud Hall, the remaining patriarchs of the Li family and many other family members clenched their fists.
Their eyes were filled with hatred. But more than that, they were panic-stricken and terrified.
A day ago, the Li family was one of the five great families in Jiuzhou. They had a lofty status, as well as strong strength and heritage. But just in a day, they had been knocked down from their pedestal.
At this moment, to think they had become a piece of juicy meat for the aristocratic families to fight over!
This huge change and blow caused many members of the Li family to feel extremely miserable. They were filled with despair about their fate.
…
"Pei Youming, I have already made it clear. If the Langya Family wants to monopolize the Li Family's resources, then don't blame the Beihai Family and the Panlong Family for being merciless. Although the Langya Family is strong, you can't resist two aristocratic families at once, right? Choose one. Either we split it equally, each taking a third, or we fight. Your choice," Zhao Panlong said domineeringly.
After saying that, he and Qi Chunqiu both erupted with powerful auras, and their cold and sharp eyes stared intently at Pei Youming.
It seemed like a battle was about to break out at the slightest disagreement.
Seeing this, although Pei Youming was furious, he was well aware that the piece of "fat meat", the Li family, was definitely not something that the Langya family could eat in one bite. Thus, he could only choose to compromise.
"Sigh, since things have already come to this, I am also unable to help…" He looked at the Li family and sighed, his expression filled with helplessness.
Qi Chunqiu, Zhao Panlong, and even the people from the Li family were filled with ridicule and disdain for his pretentious behavior.
A cat crying over a dead mouse, pretending to be merciful. He was just putting on an act.
"Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled. The Beihai family, the Panlong family, and the Langya family will each take one-third of the Li family's resources. Immediately send someone to count the resources," Zhao Panlong waved his hand and said.
His words had already decided the fate of the Li family.
"Wait a minute. I refuse to accept this!"
Just as the three aristocratic families were about to take over the Li family's resources, an untimely voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw a stalwart young man striding in.
Behind him were two men. One had a cold expression, and his eyes were void of emotion. There was only endless coldness and ferocity.
The other person had a refined expression and his aura was as deep as the abyss. He looked unfathomable.
Whoosh!
The appearance of the three immediately made Zhao Panlong, Qi Chunqiu, and Pei Youming frown.
At the same time, their faces also darkened.

160 Become My Citizens, and You will be Worry-Free!
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Panlong, who had the fiercest temper, shouted angrily when he saw Lin Wudao and the other two suddenly barge into the Li family.
...
Boom!
As he spoke, he took a step forward and blocked Lin Wudao's path.
At the same time, the powerful aura of the Heaven Capture realm erupted and swept through the Purple Cloud Hall.
Obviously, he wanted to use this to intimidate Lin Wudao.
However, this time, he picked on the wrong target.
"Get lost!"
Just as Zhao Panlong stood in front of Lin Wudao, an extremely terrifying sword energy suddenly slashed at his back.
"Perfection of the Heaven Capture realm?"
Zhao Panlong was terrified to the extreme.
Ah!
Accompanied by a shrill scream, he did not have time to react or resist at all. His entire body was cut into two halves by that terrifying sword energy. With that, he died without a burial place.
"Ha!"
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this sudden change, be it Qi Chunqiu of the Beihai Family or Pei Youming of the Langya Family, they were all shocked.
Their eyes were filled with intense panic and fear.
The other party had killed Zhao Panlong with a single strike. How terrifying was that?
Although Zhao Panlong was only at the early stage of the Heaven Capture realm, to be able to kill him with a single strike, the other party had to be at least at the peak stage or even the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm!
Where did these three pop out from?
For a moment, Qi Chunqiu and Pei Youming, who were originally high and mighty, felt extreme fear in their hearts.
Lin Wudao did not care about Zhao Panlong's death at all.
After stepping into the Li family, he went straight to the Purple Cloud Hall and sat at the head of the hall.
Whoosh!
His calm eyes slowly swept across everyone present.
"We are from the City of Sin in Jiuzhou. This time, the City Lord has come to participate in the Path to Heaven and happened to hear about the shocking changes that happened to the Li family. He felt pity and sympathy for the Li family. Given that the Li family's current strength is not enough to protect themselves, from now on, the Heishui Ancient City and the entire Li family will be protected by the City of Sin."
Yin Siming's calm voice sounded.
The City of Sin?
Hearing this, the pupils of Qi Chunqiu, Pei Youming, and the others constricted slightly.
They had naturally heard of the City of Sin.
Some time ago, the City of Sin had risen to power in Jiuzhou at lightning speed. Then, it suppressed the Dari Demonic Sect and the other two great sects.
Now, the City of Sin had already become the number one faction in Jiuzhou.
Originally, the hidden factions didn't think much of the City of Sin at all. They thought that the latter wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
Who knew that they would surpass their expectations today?
Not only had the City of Sin become powerful, but it was even more terrifying than the ancient aristocratic families that had existed for thousands of years.
Thinking of this, the fear in Qi Chunqiu and Pei Youming's hearts became even stronger.
Whoosh!
It was also at this moment that Lin Wudao's indifferent gaze descended on them.
"I heard that the Beihai Family, the Panlong Family, and the Langya Family want to divide the Li Family?"
"This…"
The two were so scared that their bodies were trembling. They did not know how to answer.
"Well, since you dare to do it, why don't you dare to admit it?"
"We…"
Li Zangtian, kill them," Lin Wudao's said calmly.
What was that? Did they want to kill them?
The moment these words came out, Qi Chunqiu and Pei Youming were instantly greatly shocked.
They immediately wanted to escape.
However, just as they turned around, two incomparably sharp sword energies streaked across the air. Without giving them any chance to resist, they were beheaded.
At this point, the Heaven Capture realm patriarchs of the three aristocratic families had all been killed on the spot.
"Ha!"
Seeing this brutal scene, everyone from the Li family was instantly scared out of their wits, and all of them gasped.
Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lin Wudao.
…
"I am the City Lord of the City of Sin, Lin Wudao. Your Li family has encountered a great disaster, and the three great aristocratic families in Jiuzhou want to divide you up to strengthen themselves. After I heard about it, I felt pity for you. From now on, are you willing to submit to the City of Sin? I can guarantee you that as long as you become a citizen of the City of Sin, you will be protected by the City of Sin forever. No matter if it's the three great aristocratic families or the Xia Dynasty, no one will be able to harm you."
"Other than that, the City of Sin will not interfere with the Li family's affairs. Everything will still be under your control. You just need to provide resources on time. Of course, you must follow the City of Sin's orders unconditionally."
Lin Wudao's calm voice sounded amidst everyone's fear.
What? Didn't he want to destroy the Li family?
Hearing this, everyone present revealed a look of disbelief.
"The City Lord has always been kind and he hates to see others being bullied by evil forces. Now that the City of Sin has opened its doors, are you still unwilling?"
Yin Siming abruptly shouted.
Hearing this, everyone was instantly jolted back to reality.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Under the leadership of the Heaven Capture realm patriarchs, everyone knelt.
"The Li family is willing to submit to the City of Sin and become a citizen of the City of Sin!"
Everyone kowtowed fearfully.
In response, Lin Wudao nodded in satisfaction.
Then, his gaze swept past Li Chengyin and the others in the crowd.
"Welcome to the City of Sin. In view of the Li family's great disaster, and the fact that the family can't be without a leader, it just so happens that tomorrow will be the once-in-a-thousand-year Path to Heaven. Whoever can perform the best on the Path to Heaven can become the Li family's clan leader. You guys can handle the rest yourselves. Oh right, spread the news of Zhao Panlong and the others' deaths. These unruly aristocratic families are stepping stones that hinder the City of Sin's progress. We must eliminate them. If they're so capable, they can come and find me."
After saying that, Lin Wudao gave a few more instructions before putting away the corpses of Zhao Panlong and the other two. He then turned around and left.
…
Whoosh!
After Lin Wudao had left, the Li family members heaved a sigh of relief. They were still fear-stricken, and their hearts were filled with angst.
Just now, they had all taken a trip to the gates of hell!
"Patriarch, the City of Sin… How can it be so powerful?"
After a long time, a clansman asked.
In response, the group of patriarchs shook their heads and sighed.
"Who knows?"
"However, this is also a good thing. Our Li family has just suffered a great disaster and thus our current foundation and strength are far from the other aristocratic families. Joining the City of Sin is a good way to preserve our vitality."
"At the very least, we can avoid the threat of the other aristocratic families."
"That's right. Although this City Lord Lin Wudao is a little brutal, his strength is unfathomable. The fact that he killed Zhao Panlong and the others with a single strike is the best proof. "
"Sigh, this might be the best ending for the Li family now…"
…
The patriarchs sighed.
Soon after, they dismissed the clansmen and announced the news of Zhao Panlong and the others' deaths.
Lin Wudao paid no heed to the Li family's reaction and actions.
[Ding dong!]
After returning to the Myth Inn, he received a notification from the system.
[Congratulations, you have subdued the Heishui Family with your powerful strength and charisma, making them willing to become citizens of the City of Sin. Fate Energy value 10000000.]
Ten million?
Lin Wudao smiled.
This result was quite satisfactory.
"Next is to wait for the arrival of the Path to Heaven tomorrow…" He muttered.
Then, he threw the corpses of Zhao Panlong and the others into the Corpse-refining Furnace and quietly cultivated.
Soon, the next day arrived.

161 The Path to Heaven is Coming, Large Factions are Gathering!
The Path to Heaven appeared once every thousand years.
This was a grand event that could shake the entire Great World of Divine Desolation. Once the Path to Heaven descended, many overwhelming prodigies would compete against each other to ascend to the Heavenly Gate of the Great Emperor which symbolized the highest glory. At that time, they would become famous and be known to the world.
...
Today was the best day in a thousand years, and also the best era in the present.
The Great Emperor was already old, so a new battle to become the Great Emperor was about to begin.
Countless living beings were looking forward to it.
However, the conditions to participate in the Path to Heaven were very strict. One's bone age had to be below 30 years old, and one's cultivation had to be above the Mahayana realm.
One could imagine that this was definitely a peak battle between the best talents.
…
Lin Wudao was also filled with anticipation for this once-in-a-millennium grand event.
Therefore, he ended his cultivation early and came to the main street of the Heishui Ancient City.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Looking up, he saw dazzling streams of light streaking across the void as ancient and huge spiritual boats descended on the Heishui Ancient City.
The stronger the faction, the more majestic the spiritual boat would be, giving off sacred and inviolable auras.
With a glance, Lin Wudao found many familiar factions, including the Xia Dynasty, the True Dragon Academy, the Yinyue Dynasty, the Baitian Sect…
Each of them occupied a part of the void and was clearly separated.
Rumble!
At the same time, in the deep and vast sky, as the Path to Heaven approached, waves of majestic Heavenly Dao thunder rumbled.
In the ancient void, boundless divine light bloomed. They vaguely evolved into the outline of a supreme Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Gate was extremely huge. It stood in the air as if it was supporting the entire world. It emitted a supreme might.
With just a glance, Lin Wudao's soul trembled.
"City Lord, that's the outline of the Path to Heaven. When the Path to Heaven descends into the mortal world, that ancient and grand Heavenly Gate will open, and then a supreme Path to Heaven will appear from the Heavenly Gate. Those who can knock open the five Heavenly Gates have the qualifications to prove their Dao and become the Great Emperor. At the same time, they will also receive the favor of the heavens. Not only will they be blessed, but they will also receive supreme rewards. Since ancient times, anyone who has reached the end of the Path to Heaven has basically proven their Dao and become a Great Emperor," Yin Siming introduced.
His eyes were also filled with anticipation. This was the first time he was witnessing a grand event that happened once every thousand years.
"Are there Paths to Heaven in other places in the Great World of Divine Desolation?"
"Yes. According to the information I know, projections of the Path to Heaven will appear in all twelve large regions of the Great World of Desolation. The projection of the Path of Heaven in the Green Heaven Region is at the Heishui Ancient City. As such, all the big factions and overwhelming prodigies in the Green Heaven Region will gather here to compete for the Path to Heaven…"
As he spoke, Yin Siming swept his gaze toward the spiritual boats in the void.
"City Lord, look, all the major factions in the Green Heaven Region are here. The Xia Dynasty from Jiuzhou, the True Dragon Academy from Zhenlong, the Yinyue Dynasty from Cangxuan, the Baitian Sect from Tianhuang… Other than that, the True Martial Divine Palace might also come."
Yin Siming's tone towards the end was obviously much more serious.
True Martial Divine Palace?
Lin Wudao's eyes were filled with curiosity.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately looked up at the sky.
At this moment, through God's Spiritual Eye, he could see an ancient and majestic bronze palace hidden in the depths of the clouds.
Its aura was almost restrained to the extreme. No one present noticed its existence.
If Lin Wudao did not have God's Spiritual Eye, he would not have been able to discover it.
This bronze palace came from the True Martial Divine Palace. An extremely powerful existence seemed to be hidden in it.
…
"Is the True Martial Divine Palace even more powerful than the Xia Dynasty and the other factions?" Lin Wudao retracted his gaze and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Yin Siming nodded.
"City Lord, although there are 12 regions in the Green Heaven Region and each of them has a major faction, these seemingly ancient factions are not the rulers of the Green Heaven Region. The true ruler is the True Martial Divine Palace! Not only does it rule over the entire Green Heaven Region, but it also controls the Spirit Region and the East Pole Heaven Region. So far, the True Martial Divine Palace has been passed down for 15,000 years. It's a true giant. In the entire Great World of Divine Desolation, its strength, foundation, and strength can be ranked in the top five."
Was it so strong?
After hearing Yin Siming's introduction, Lin Wudao was secretly shocked.
Although it was just a few words, it gave him a general understanding of the True Martial Divine Palace.
Compared to the Xia Dynasty, the True Dragon Palace, the Shangqing Sword Palace, and the other factions from the Green Heaven Region, the True Martial Divine Palace was the true colossus. Its words and actions could determine the fate of a region.
It was simply high above.
"What about the Main Office?"
"Uh, the Main Office is just the spokesperson of the True Martial Divine Palace to help them manage the Green Heaven Region. Their foundation and strength are stronger than the factions of the 12 territories. They are the spokesperson of the True Martial Divine Palace, so many major events in the Green Heaven Region are organized by the Main Office, just like the Nine Netherworlds Secret Realm…" Yin Siming explained.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.
The power structure in the Green Heaven Region was much more complicated than he had imagined.
…
Buzz!
Just as Lin Wudao and Yin Siming were talking about the situation in the Green Heaven Region, an imperceptible ripple suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
Then, a mysterious green light flew toward him, turning into a line of words in front of him.
[Master, Wei Qingsi is about to arrive at the Heishui Ancient City. There are also guardians and elders of the Shangqing Sword Palace who have come along. They are all Mystic Heaven realm cultivators.]
Murong Shan sent a message?
Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes as he looked at the words that appeared in front of him.
Previously, he used his powerful martial strength to suppress Ziyang leader Murong Shan and then had him infiltrate the Shangqing Sword Palace to monitor Wei Qingsi's every move.
After such a long time, there was finally news.
"Wei Qingsi? Does the City Lord have spies in the Shangqing Sword Palace?"
Yin Siming saw the words in the air, and a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He did not expect that Lin Wudao had already infiltrated the Shangqing Sword Palace while still in Jiuzhou.
"She came at the right time. I let her escape previously, but this time around, she won't be so lucky…"
Boom!
With a wave of his sleeve, the words in front of him instantly collapsed.
This time, Wei Qingsi had walked right into the trap.
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Wudao's eyes revealed a fierce light, a huge spiritual boat that was a thousand feet long suddenly tore through the void and rushed over with a powerful aura.
There was a symbol of an ancient sword on the spiritual boat.
"City Lord, the Shangqing Sword Palace has arrived. The Shangqing Sword Palace has an extraordinary background. It's said that it's related to the Infinite Sword City in the Central Heaven Region. It's an ancient giant with a strong foundation that's not weaker than the True Martial Divine Palace," Yin Siming whispered.
The Infinite Sword City?
Lin Wudao secretly remembered this name.
But now, he was most concerned about Wei Qingsi.
With God's Spiritual Eye, his gaze pierced through the pavilion on the spiritual boat, and a peerless cold figure immediately entered his sight.
"It really is her."
Since she was here, Lin Wudao was relieved.

162 Shangqing Sword Palace, Lin Xuanzhen!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
...
Whoosh!
…
With the appearance of the Shangqing Sword Palace, many large and small forces inside and outside the Nine States, as well as famous figures, came to the Heishui Ancient City to witness this once-in-a-thousand-year ceremony of prodigies.
Among them, the ones with the greatest influence were the ancient Barbarian race from the depths of the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Although they were only a branch of the ancient Barbarian race, they had a long heritage and were extremely powerful in both strength and heritage.
To a certain extent, they surpassed the five great aristocratic families.
In fact, even the Xia Dynasty was wary of the Barbarian race in the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
For thousands of years, they had confronted each other.
It was because of their power that the Barbarians were able to obtain a large number of spots in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm.
This time, although only a dozen Barbarian race cultivators had come, the aura and foundation they revealed were extremely strong.
Among them were supreme geniuses of the Heaven Capture realm. The leader had even reached the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm.
Compared to the leaders of the other factions present, they were not inferior at all.
Apart from the barbarians, Lin Wudao also saw some old acquaintances. Among them included Li Heishui and his sister.
…
"Sir, we meet again."
Seeing Lin Wudao's figure, Li Heishui hesitated for a moment before mustering his courage to come and greet the other party with a smile.
Similarly, Lin Wudao smiled.
"Perhaps this is fate. By the way, are you here to participate in the Path to Heaven?"
"Uh, no. The Path to Heaven is the arena for the world's overwhelming prodigies and geniuses. How can my poor talent and weak strength be worthy of being on the stage? To be honest, I only brought my younger sister here to broaden her horizons," Li Heishui replied with a smile.
"You're too modest. Your aptitude and strength are not weak. Never mind walking to the end of the Path to Heaven, at least knocking open the first Heavenly Gate is not a problem. Don't you want to go up and show it?"
Lin Wudao still had a faint smile on his face.
It seemed that he wanted to encourage Li Heishui to perform on the Path to Heaven and show his peerless talent.
At that time, his name would definitely spread throughout Jiuzhou.
However, Li Heishui shook his head at Lin Wudao's suggestion.
"I'm not interested in fame. My greatest wish in this life is for Qingcheng to have a beautiful life. As for the rest, they are not too important to me…" Li Heishui replied with a smile.
Now, he had already taken revenge. His biggest worry left was Li Qingcheng. If she could have a good future and a good life, he would be satisfied. As for the rest, he would just let nature take its course.
"You're quite carefree. However, a real man still has to make contributions and live an extremely glorious life. This way, he won't let himself down and this life won't be a waste. Now, I have some influence in the City of Sin and need more talents. Would you be willing to help me?"
Lin Wudao sent out an invitation.
The City of Sin? Lin Wudao?
Hearing this, Li Heishui immediately revealed a surprised expression.
He had also heard about the Li family's misfortune.
Lin Wudao had killed the Heaven Capture realm patriarchs of the three aristocratic families and brought the Li Family under the City of Sin. This matter had caused a huge commotion.
Everyone was trying to guess who the City of Sin's City Lord was.
He did not expect that the other party was this man right in front of him. Previously, this man had even bought a corpse and a shroud from him…
"Brother Heishui, the City Lord has a very high standard. Ordinary people can't enter his eyes. If you don't have a good place to go, why don't you come to the City of Sin? Don't worry, we definitely won't let you down. I dare to use my life to guarantee that choosing the City of Sin will be the wisest decision in your life."
At this moment, Yin Siming's voice rang out.
Hearing this, Li Heishui fell into deep thought. Then, he stared at Lin Wudao for a long time and finally nodded.
"Since the City Lord has invited me, then I'll respectfully accept it. Li Heishui is willing to serve the City Lord."
As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to Lin Wudao.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao was overjoyed.
"Good! My City of Sin has finally gained another great general!"
"Congratulations, City Lord," Yin Siming also smiled.
Li Heishui was a hot shot who had fallen into the mortal world. If he was nurtured, he would definitely become great in the future.
Yin Siming was naturally happy that he had joined.
"By the way, City Lord, let me introduce you. This is my younger sister, Li Qingcheng. She is currently cultivating in the True Dragon Palace…"
Li Heishui abruptly raised his hand and pointed at Li Qingcheng beside him.
"Qingcheng greets the City Lord."
Li Qingcheng also bowed modestly.
In response, Lin Wudao pretended to examine them, and then his face revealed a look of admiration.
"I've long heard Brother Dongfang mention that Li Heishui is a son of fate who has fallen into the mortal world and has a bright future. Now that I've met his sister, I can see that you're not inferior to him. In the future, you will definitely be an overwhelming prodigy whose name will shake the Great World of Divine Desolation as well."
Lin Wudao was not stingy with his praise.
Hearing this, the smile on Li Heishui's face grew wider, while Li Qingcheng was a little embarrassed.
"City Lord, you praise me too much. With my poor qualifications, how can I be worthy of the words "overwhelming prodigy"?"
She shook her head.
She didn't even dare to think about being an overwhelming prodigy.
However, Lin Wudao didn't think so.
"Everything in the world is possible. I heard from Brother Dongfang that he was entrusted by someone to seek a great opportunity for you. I believe that it won't be long before your life and destiny will be completely changed."
Hmm? Brother Dongfang?
Could it be…
Hearing Lin Wudao mention "Brother Dongfang" twice, Li Heishui was shocked.
"City Lord, is the Brother Dongfang you're talking about Dongfang Bubai?" He asked carefully.
"Yes. I can be considered to have come from the same source as him. We are not biological brothers, but just like biological brothers…" Lin Wudao nodded.
What? The City Lord was actually related to Dongfang Bubai?
Not only Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng, but even Yin Siming, who was at the side, was also shocked.
Dongfang Bubai was mysterious and unpredictable. Since Lin Wudao was like a brother to him, his background was definitely not simple.
At this moment, Li Heishui's respect for Lin Wudao increased.
…
Hmm?
Just as Lin Wudao was chatting and laughing with Li Heishui and his sister, he suddenly felt a cold and murderous gaze.
He turned and saw that the gaze was from the Shangqing Sword Palace's spiritual boat.
At this moment, a woman at the front of the spiritual boat with peerless looks and a cold aura was staring at him coldly and hatefully. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
It was Wei Qingsi.
It had been a while since they last met. After she entered the Shangqing Sword Palace, her cultivation and strength made great progress. Now, she had already reached the Grotto-Heaven realm.
"City Lord, that person… Does she hate you?"
Li Heishui also felt Wei Qingsi's cold killing intent and frowned slightly.
"Yes. She used to be the Eldest Princess of the Li Dynasty in Jiuzhou. She had a grudge against me. I let her escape in the City of Sin. I didn't expect to meet her again in the Heishui Ancient City."
The Eldest Princess of the Li Dynasty?
Li Heishui nodded thoughtfully. He did not know much about the outside world, therefore, he did not speak.
Whoosh!
Just as Wei Qingsi and Lin Wudao were confronting each other, a few figures suddenly walked out from the spiritual boat of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
At the very front was a black-robed youth with an extraordinary bearing. His aptitude and foundation were extremely extraordinary.
Through God's Spiritual Eye, Lin Wudao learned that this person was the tenth successive disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace, Lin Xuanzhen.
At the same time, he was also the youngest successive disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace in a thousand years.
After 22 years of cultivation, he had already reached the perfection of the Heaven Capture realm.

163 Equal to the Mystic Heaven Realm with the Power of the Heaven Capture Realm
"City Lord, the man behind Wei Qingsi is called Lin Xuanzhen. He's the tenth successive disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace. He started cultivating at the age of three and reached perfection in the Heaven Capture realm in just 22 years. His name is known throughout the Green Heaven Region. At the same time, Lin Xuanzhen is ranked 98th on the Great World of Divine Desolation's Prodigy Ranking. Other than that, the family he belongs to is powerful. It has been around for more than five thousand years and has quite a foundation."
Yin Siming's calm voice sounded.
...
The Great World of Divine Desolation's Prodigy Ranking?
Lin Wudao's heart skipped a beat as he took another glance at Lin Xuanzhen.
"This Great World of Divine Desolation's Prodigy Ranking should list out the most outstanding prodigies from the twelve major regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation, right?"
"Yes. The Great World of Divine Desolation's Prodigy Ranking is produced by the Human World Tower. A total of 108 people are selected, all the most outstanding living beings in the Great World of Divine Desolation. Anyone on the rankings has heaven-chosen talent. Although Lin Xuanzhen is only ranked 98th, it's already extremely rare. In the Shangqing Sword Palace, he is the only candidate," Yin Siming continued.
"Then who's in the first place?"
"City Lord, you definitely wouldn't have thought that the first place on the Great World of Divine Desolation's Prodigy Ranking is from Jiuzhou."
Someone from Jiuzhou?
Lin Wudao's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Who is it?"
"The Eldest Princess of the Xia Dynasty, Yan Huihuang."
Yan Huihuang?
Lin Wudao seemed to have heard of this name somewhere.
"Yan Huihuang, the number one prodigy of the Great World of Divine Desolation. According to rumors, she has the potential to become a Sage. She has also arrived at the Heishui Ancient City to participate in this time's Path to Heaven."
The potential to become a Sage, huh?
Lin Wudao smiled lightly as a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. He wanted to meet such a character.
…
On the Shangqing Sword Palace's spiritual boat, Lin Xuanzhen quietly arrived behind Wei Qingsi.
"Junior sister, what are you looking at? I can see the killing intent in your eyes. Moreover, I heard you mention before that you seem to have an irreconcilable enemy in Jiuzhou. Could it be that he is also here?"
As he spoke, he discreetly looked at where Lin Wudao was.
"Yes. I was previously injured by a person called Lin Wudao. I was lucky enough to have preserved my life. Now, that person is also here."
"Is it that person?"
Lin Xuanzhen pointed at Lin Wudao.
Hearing this, Wei Qingsi nodded gently.
"Don't worry, junior sister. I will uphold justice for you this time."
"This… How dare I trouble senior brother?"
"Since you call me senior brother, I naturally cannot watch you being bullied. Someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a cold aura walked out of the spiritual boat and came before Lin Xuanzhen respectfully.
"Young Master, what can I do for you?"
"Lin Jiu, take my Shangqing Sword Talisman and test that person's strength and background. If possible, kill him and bring his head to me."
Lin Xuanzhen pointed at Lin Wudao.
After saying that, he also handed over an ancient green sword talisman that contained a full-power attack from a peak Mystic Heaven realm expert.
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing the order, Lin Jiu did not hesitate. He immediately took out a bronze halberd that was a level 8 ancient spiritual weapon and charged at Lin Wudao aggressively.
…
"City Lord, be careful!"
In the distance, Lin Wudao was chatting with Yin Siming and Li Heishui when suddenly, Li Qingcheng exclaimed.
An unusually ferocious figure holding a bronze halberd was charging over.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Wudao.
"City Lord!"
Li Heishui was shocked. He could feel the endless terror from Lin Jiu, and in an instant, his expression turned extremely grave.
Compared to him, Lin Wudao was as calm as ever. His expression did not change at all.
Boom!
Just as Lin Jiu was about to reach Lin Wudao, a shocking sword energy tore through the air and slashed out with a monstrous and ferocious aura.
"Ah!"
With a dull collision, Lin Jiu was sent flying. He only managed to stabilize his body after he flew a thousand feet away.
It was Li Zangtian who had made a move!
What? He was so strong?
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng widened their eyes in shock when they saw the terrifying combat strength displayed by Li Zangtian.
Li Zangtian's aura was extremely deep and reserved.
Originally, to their knowledge, Li Zangtian was at most in the Heavenly Cycle realm. Who would have thought that he would be able to defeat a ferocious person like Lin Jiu with a single strike?
"This is at least the cultivation at the perfection stage in the Heaven Capture realm," Li Qingcheng whispered.
Hearing this, Li Heishui's heart trembled slightly and he did not say anything else.
…
On the spiritual boat, Lin Xuanzhen and Wei Qingsi frowned at the same time.
"This person actually has such strength? Lin Jiu is about to break through to the Mystic Heaven realm. His battle prowess is much stronger than a cultivator who is at the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm. But now, he was forced back by that person's sword? They are both in the Heaven Capture realm, so why is there such a huge difference?"
Lin Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes. He could feel that Li Zangtian was extraordinary. Yet, with his knowledge and ability, he was unable to see through the other party's background.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhen could not help but look at the two elders behind him.
"Elder Yan, is that person also in the Heaven Capture realm?"
"Yes."
One of the green-robed elders nodded slightly.
"That person should be Lin Wudao's servant. His cultivation has yet to reach the Mystic Heaven realm. Otherwise, Lin Jiu would have died from that sword strike. Thus, he is at most at the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm. However, in terms of talent and foundation, that person is stronger than Lin Jiu," Yan Zhenshan said in a deep voice.
Lin Xuanzhen's frown grew deeper when he heard that.
"Elder, in that case… Lin Jiu will lose?"
"Yes! He will be suppressed in at most three breaths."
Three breaths?
Lin Xuanzhen found it unbelievable.
Wasn't this gap too big?
Boom!
Just as he was secretly shocked, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, accompanied by a painful scream.
He looked up only to see that Li Zangtian had slashed out three times in a row. The first two waves of sword energy were blocked by Lin Jiu with all his might, but the third wave of sword energy cut off his left arm.
He flew backward.
"This person's battle prowess is comparable to an ordinary early-stage Mystic Heaven realm cultivator."
Lin Xuanzhen clenched his fists, his eyes filled with shock.
He had always thought of himself as a peerless genius, having cultivated for 22 years and already reached the peak of the Heaven Capture realm. However, even if he used all his methods, he could only slightly resist the attack of a Mystic Heaven realm expert.
He couldn't suppress an attack of that realm.
After all, the difference between the Heaven Capture realm and the Mystic Heaven realm was too great.
What he could not believe was that a servant beside Lin Wudao had such terrifying combat strength.
"This Lin Wudao is not simple," He thought to himself.
If the servant next to him had such shocking combat strength, how could Lin Wudao, the master, be inferior?
"What realm has his strength reached? The Heaven Capture realm? Or the higher Mystic Heaven realm?"
This was the first time Lin Xuanzhen doubted himself.
Li Zangtian was no weaker than him in the same realm. If Lin Wudao was stronger than Li Zangtian, did that not mean that the former's cultivation and ability were above his?
The more he thought about it, the uglier Lin Xuanzhen's expression turned.
Rumble!
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Lin Jiu, who was forced into a corner, crushed the Shangqing Sword Talisman at the last moment.
In an instant, a terrifying green sword energy soared into the sky and slashed Li Zangtian's body with lightning speed.
"A peak Mystic Heaven realm attack. No matter how powerful that Heaven Capture realm powerhouse is, he will still die…"
Lin Xuanzhen smiled smugly.
Immediately after, his smile froze on his face.
Because although Li Zangtian was sent flying by the attack of the Shangqing Sword Talisman, he quickly stood up again without any signs of injury on his body.
"This… How is that possible?" Lin Xuanzhen's pupils constricted.
Even Yan Zhenshan, who was behind him, was shocked.
"This person has such a powerful physical body!"
At this moment, he was even more curious about Lin Wudao.
Boom!
Just as they were focusing all their attention on Li Zangtian, a strange figure suddenly walked out of the void silently.
Then, he raised his hand and struck out, shattering the spiritual boat of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
"What happened?"
"Who is it?"
The change came too suddenly. Even Yan Zhenshan and the others were not mentally prepared.
They could not believe that someone would dare to attack the Shangqing Sword Palace.
When they came back to their senses, it was already too late.
It was Lin Wudao's doppelganger who did the deed.
"Who dares to provoke the Shangqing Sword Palace?" Lin Xuanzhen roared angrily.
He had left the broken spiritual boat in time. His cold gaze swept across the void and he immediately looked in the direction of Lin Wudao.
"Eh, where is he?"
Since he did not see Lin Wudao, he immediately searched around.
Boom!
Just as he turned around, an ancient black bell suddenly cut through the void and landed on his body with a majestic force.
"Ah!" Lin Xuanzhen let out a shrill scream and fell from the sky, spitting out blood.
At the same time, a cold figure appeared behind him and grabbed his neck.

164 Force Wei Qingsi to Death!
What was that? Was Lin Xuanzhen suppressed?
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
...
Originally, they were still immersed in the battle between Li Zangtian and Lin Jiu. Who knew that the Shangqing Sword Palace's spiritual boat would suddenly be shattered?
Everyone on the spiritual boat fled.
Among them, Wei Qingsi was with Yan Zhenshan and the others, so she wasn't injured. However, Lin Xuanzhen was not so lucky. He was suppressed right away.
The person who made the move was Lin Wudao.
"Lin Wudao, let go of my Senior Brother Lin. Otherwise, the Shangqing Sword Palace will not let you off."
In the distance, Wei Qingsi's cold voice rang out.
At the same time, when they saw Lin Xuanzhen being suppressed by Lin Wudao and his neck being held tightly, the faces of the elders of the Shangqing Sword Palace, like Yan Zhenshan and the others, changed drastically.
Their eyes were filled with rage, looking at Lin Wudao with boundless killing intent.
"Lin Wudao, let Lin Xuanzhen go and the Shangqing Sword Palace will let bygones be bygones."
Yan Zhenshan's voice was extremely cold. His words were threatening.
However, Lin Wudao didn't fall for his tricks.
Under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers, he held Lin Xuanzhen's neck and walked back to where he had been just now. His expression was as calm as ever.
"Let's make a deal."
After a long silence, Lin Wudao suddenly said.
Hmm? Make a deal?
As soon as he said this, not only did everyone present look surprised, Yan Zhenshan and the others were even more so.
"What kind of deal do you want to make?"
"It's very simple. Your Shangqing Sword Palace's most outstanding successive disciple is in my hands. As for my enemy, Wei Qingsi, she is in your hands. As long as you kill her, I will let Lin Xuanzhen go."
His calm voice slowly sounded.
What was that? Kill Wei Qingsi in exchange for Lin Xuanzhen's life?
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath and looked at Lin Wudao in shock.
This was a blatant threat.
The Shangqing Sword Palace was a powerful force in the Green Heaven Region. It was a powerful existence that had been passed down for thousands of years and had always been awe-inspiring. It was a cultivation place that many living beings yearned to head to.
No one had ever dared to threaten them.
But now, in this small Heishui Ancient City, such a scene had appeared.
After today, once this matter spread, the Shangqing Sword Palace would definitely become the laughing stock of the Green Heaven Region and lose all their face.
Thinking of that outcome, everyone was endlessly terrified.
"Is this Lin Wudao crazy? How dare he provoke the Shangqing Sword Palace?" Someone exclaimed.
"He's either a f*cking lunatic or a fool."
"The Shangqing Sword Palace is a colossus that occupies an entire territory. How can a mere City of Sin contend against it?"
"His courage is so great that there is no end to it…"
…
An uproar broke out in the crowd.
Obviously, Lin Wudao's request shocked them.
Similarly, Wei Qingsi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Her cold eyes were filled with panic and unease.
She was flustered.
"What, you're not willing?"
As if he saw the panic in Wei Qingsi's eyes, Lin Wudao's unhurried voice rang out again.
As he spoke, he exerted force with his hand and blood spurted out of Lin Xuanzhen's throat.
"This is your Shangqing Sword Palace's most outstanding successive disciple in a thousand years. He's also the only peerless genius on the Great World of Divine Desolation's Prodigy Ranking. He's the Shangqing Sword Palace's face and glory. Is his life not worth the life of Wei Qingsi?"
Lin Wudao smiled.
Whoosh!
Everyone was shocked.
This was forcing Wei Qingsi to death in public.
Even though Wei Qingsi was also a disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace and her aptitude was outstanding, she was still inferior to Lin Xuanzhen, both in terms of strength and background.
The death of Wei Qingsi would just be a loss of a slightly better genius for the Shangqing Sword Palace. However, Lin Xuanzhen's death would make them lose all their dignity.
Moreover, the losses were even greater.
Of two serious losses, anyone would know to choose the smaller loss.
Yan Zhenshan and the others seemed to have made up their minds.
"Very well. We promise you that we will exchange Wei Qingsi's life for Lin Xuanzhen's."
"Elder Yan, you!"
Hearing this, Wei Qingsi turned pale with fright.
She was just about to turn around and escape, but how could she be a match for Yan Zhenshan?
Boom!
Yan Zhenshan stretched out his hand, and Wei Qingsi fell into his grasp.
"Wei Qingsi, the Shangqing Sword Palace will remember you. Goodbye."
Crack!
Without waiting for Wei Qingsi to speak, Yan Zhenshan crushed her neck and destroyed all her life force.
Bang!
Then, he tossed Wei Qingsi's corpse to the ground.
The entire process was decisive and fast.
Ha!
Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd gasped.
"Yan Zhenshan is also a ruthless person."
"To be honest, Wei Qingsi's value to the Shangqing Sword Palace is indeed not comparable to Lin Xuanzhen's."
"Will Lin Wudao let him go?"
"I don't know. Probably."
…
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Wudao.
"I've already killed Wei Qingsi according to your request. Can you let him go now?"
Yan Zhenshan's expression was cold.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao smiled and nodded.
"Of course. I am a person who keeps his promises."
The smile on his face did not change, but secretly, he used his mind to communicate with the system.
"System, how much Fate Energy value do I need to upgrade the Great Five Elements Sword Array to the level where it can kill a perfection-stage Mystic Heaven realm powerhouse?"
This time, instead of improving Li Zangtian's strength, he chose to improve the Great Five Elements Sword Array.
This was because he needed to use great power to intimidate the world.
At the same time, he wanted to show the strength of the City of Sin to the world.
He needed to do all of this himself.
[Ding!]
[The level 2 Great Five Elements Sword Array can kill perfection-stage Innate Sky realm powerhouses. The upgrade requires five million Fate Energy value.]
[The level 3 Great Five Elements Sword Array can kill perfection-stage Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouses. The upgrade requires 10 million Fate Energy value.]
[The level 4 Great Five Elements Sword Array can kill perfection-stage Heaven Capture realm powerhouses. The upgrade requires 20 million Fate Energy value.]
[The level 5 Great Five Elements Sword Array can kill perfection-stage Mystic Heaven realm powerhouses. The upgrade requires 30 million Fate Energy value.]
[Total Fate Energy value required: 65 million.]
…
The system responded.
"Upgrade to level 5," Lin Wudao said without hesitation.
Right now, what he did not lack the most was Fate Energy value.
[Congratulations, host. You have consumed 65 million Fate Energy value and successfully upgraded the Great Five Elements Sword Array to level 5. After activating it, you can kill perfection-stage Mystic Heaven realm beings.]
[Remark: The Great Five Elements Sword Array of level 5 and above can be integrated into the body. The host can activate the great five elements' sword energy to injure others with a raise of his hand.]
Hmm? The sword array could be fused with his body, and the sword energy could then hurt others at will?
Hearing this notification, Lin Wudao's spirit was greatly boosted.
He was still thinking about how to prevent the Great Five Elements Sword Array from being exposed. He did not expect that the level 5 Great Five Elements Sword Array actually had such a function.
It was simply a timely rain.
Rumble!
With a thought, five ancient swords instantly appeared above his elixir field. They were profound and mysterious, emitting monstrous sword intent.
Just as a thought rose in his mind, the terrifying great five elements' sword energy rose and tried to rush out of his body.
Once the sword energy was released, it could definitely kill Mystic Heaven realm powerhouses.
"Lin Wudao, why aren't you letting him go?"
Seeing that Lin Wudao was still dawdling, Yan Zhenshan's voice became even colder.
It was as if he was worried that Lin Wudao would go back on his word.
"I told you I'll let him go. You don't have to worry."
Lin Wudao smiled lightly and immediately let go of Lin Xuanzhen's neck.
"Cough, cough!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lin Xuanzhen did not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately charged toward Yan Zhenshan and the others at his fastest speed.
However, he had underestimated Lin Wudao.
Boom!
Just as Lin Xuanzhen took a step forward, a wave of great five elements' sword energy suddenly struck his body.

165 Sword Saint, Marquis Ling Tian!
The great five elements' sword energy was extremely domineering.
How could the mere Lin Xuanzhen withstand it?
...
"Ah!"
Accompanied by an extremely shrill scream, Lin Xuanzhen was pierced through the chest by a terrifying five-colored sword energy under the shocked gazes of countless people.
In an instant, all of his vitality was extinguished.
…
Silence.
Dead silence.
Seeing Lin Xuanzhen of the Shangqing Sword Palace killed by Lin Wudao with a single sword strike, the spectators in all directions and the many large factions in the void all widened their eyes in shock.
All of them were shocked to the extreme.
When the elder of the Shangqing Sword Palace, Yan Zhenshan, saw this brutal scene, he flew into a rage. Endless killing intent burst out from his eyes.
"Arrogant brat, go to hell!"
Boom!
With an earth-shattering roar, Yan Zhenshan charged forward with an ancient green spear in his hand.
His aged face was filled with malevolence.
It was obvious that his anger and hatred had reached the extreme. He wanted to kill Lin Wudao in one fell swoop to maintain the dignity and power of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
As an elder of the Shang Qing Sword Palace, although Yan Zhenshan belonged to the outer sect, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Currently, he had already cultivated to the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm. Now that he was attacking with hatred, his combat strength had increased by 30%.
Whoosh!
The moment his voice rang out, Yan Zhenshan arrived in front of Lin Wudao. Without any nonsense, he raised his hand and ruthlessly struck out with his spear.
Boom!
The ferocious spear light turned into a terrifying river that swept over with an earth-shattering force.
"City Lord, be careful!"
Yin Siming and Li Heishui both exclaimed.
However, Lin Wudao's expression didn't change at all. He was as calm as ever.
Boom!
When Yan Zhenshan's terrifying spear light arrived in front of him, he simply raised his hand and blasted out another wave of the great five elements' sword energy. The extremely terrifying power destroyed the attack.
Immediately after, the great five elements' sword energy charged toward Yan Zhenshan without any reduction in its momentum.
"This… Not good!"
Everything happened in an instant.
Originally, Yan Zhenshan was full of confidence. He thought that he could easily kill Lin Wudao with his strength at the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm. Who knew that things would not go as expected?
He could not withstand the great five elements' sword energy.
"Ah!"
A painful groan sounded from the void.
Yan Zhenshan tried his best to defend against the great five elements' sword energy, but the sword energy was too terrifying. It was beyond what he could bear.
With that, the great five elements' sword energy swept through the air and beheaded Yan Zhenshan in his endless fear and despair.
Scarlet blood sprayed in the air.
Ha!
Seeing this scene, the onlookers all gasped. Their eyes and gazes were filled with fear and terror as they looked at Lin Wudao.
"Oh my god, that's a powerhouse from the Shangqing Sword Palace. He was actually killed by a sword? Isn't this Lin Wudao too ferocious and powerful?"
A disciple from a large faction said in shock.
"Yan Zhenshan has reached the peak of the Mystic Heaven realm and is not weaker than us. However, he is no match for Lin Wudao's sword energy. When did such a peerless prodigy appear in Jiuzhou?"
"Lin Wudao seems to be even younger than Lin Xuanzhen. His aptitude and strength are terrifying."
"Jiuzhou is full of monstrous geniuses."
"The Xia Dynasty has already produced Yan Huihuang, who has the potential to become a Sage. Now, there's another Lin Wudao. Is this still the most remote Jiuzhou?"
"There is going to be a good show to watch on this Path to Heaven…"
…
All eyes fell on Lin Wudao.
This included the various huge factions in the Green Heaven Region.
In fact, even a faint cry of surprise came from the True Martial Divine Palace's ancient bronze palace which was hidden in the clouds.
At the same time, some others looked downward at Lin Wudao.
"This kid is quite extraordinary."
There was a universe in the bronze palace.
At this moment, in a quiet and elegant grotto-heaven, immeasurable pure spiritual energy swirled and rose, turning into beautiful long rivers that interweaved in the void.
Beneath it were thousands of exotic flowers and herbs, rare spiritual herbs, and so on.
In the center of the grotto-heaven was an ancient pavilion where two middle-aged men were playing chess.
At the side of the scholarly men stood a young boy who was full of wisdom.
"Leader, Governor Lin has become even stronger than before."
The boy looked out of the hall, his face full of surprise and excitement.
Back in the City of Sin, he already admired Lin Wudao greatly. Now, they met again, and he even saw such an exciting scene. Naturally, it made him very excited.
In contrast, Liao Rushen's expression remained calm and indifferent. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
"What's the fuss? Even I can't see through Lin Wudao. He's definitely not someone ordinary. Lin Xuanzhen from the Shangqing Sword Palace is far inferior to him. This person's future achievements might be limitless."
Liao Rushen spoke gently.
As he spoke, he picked up a piece and placed it on the chessboard.
His words immediately attracted the attention of the person opposite him.
"In this vast Great World of Divine Desolation, there's actually someone that you can't see through?"
Compared to the gentle and elegant demeanor of Liao Rushen, the person who spoke exuded a domineering and sharp aura. He was dressed in green and was like a peerless divine sword that could slash the heavens and destroy the earth.
He was sharp.
Ordinary people would have their souls torn apart and their minds obliterated by his powerful sword aura with just a glance.
Of the two, one was extremely calm and unmoved by external things; One was extremely domineering with the ability to destroy all obstacles in the future.
Whoosh!
The chess pieces on the chessboard seemed to be about to shatter under the interference of the powerful sword aura.
Seeing this, Liao Rushen was instantly displeased.
"Marquis Ling Tian, are you still going to play? Let me tell you, don't try to mess things up just because you can't beat me like last time."
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, the chessboard in front of him instantly stopped trembling and everything returned to its original state.
"Hmph, I am the Sword Sage of True Martial Divine Palace. How can I be that kind of person? Today is not a good day to play chess. Let's play another day."
Bang!
As soon as he said that, all the chess pieces on the chessboard shattered into powder in an instant.
Seeing this, the boy at the side couldn't help but sigh.
"Sword Sage is starting to act shamelessly again," He muttered softly.
How could these words escape Marquis Ling Tian's ears? He immediately glared at the other party fiercely, scaring the boy so much that he quickly hid behind Liao Rushen.
Similarly, Liao Rushen also had a helpless expression.
"Playing chess with you is so boring."
"I am not good at chess. If you have the ability, let's have a sword competition," Marquis Ling Tian said coldly.
Hearing this, Liao Rushen was speechless.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. Being with a boorish man like you who doesn't understand elegance, my good mood has been ruined."
After saying that, with a wave of his sleeve, the chessboard in front of him instantly disappeared, replaced by an exquisite tea set.
The boy next to him also brought over a jade pot and began to brew tea.
"Jiuzhou is really a magical place. In the entire Green Heaven Region, this is the most desolate place. Yet, this place that doesn't seem to have any resources has produced overwhelming prodigies. First, there was Yan Huihuang who had the potential to become a Sage. Now, there is Lin Wudao. How strange," Liao Rushen sighed softly.
"In your opinion, how does Lin Wudao compare to Yan Huihuang?" Marquis Ling Tian asked with a solemn expression.
In response, Liao Rushen shook his head.
"I don't know. There are too many mysteries about Lin Wudao. I can't see through him at all. But based on my intuition, he shouldn't be weaker than Yan Huihuang. When the Path to Heaven descends, we might be able to get a glimpse of his true strength," He pondered while saying.
Although he knew Divine Secrets and could observe others' fate, he could not understand anything about Lin Wudao.
This made Liao Rushen very curious.
"Your True Martial Divine Palace didn't manage to get Yan Huihuang. Maybe this time, you will have a chance. "
"I hope so. Yan Huihuang is indeed too high-profile. We have to find someone to suppress her…"
As Marquis Ling Tian spoke, he turned his gaze to the outside world.
When his gaze swept past Lin Wudao, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
…
Lin Wudao was not interested in the conversation between Marquis Ling Tian and Liao Rushen.
Boom!
After killing Yan Zhenshan with one strike, he swung his sword again and killed the other Mystic Heaven realm elder of the Shangqing Sword Palace in front of everyone.
Then, he stored their corpses in the system space.
Rumble!
Just as he was done, tens of thousands of claps of thunder suddenly sounded in the vast sky.
Accompanied by the mighty sound of thunder, a supreme heavenly might descended, instantly covering the entire Great World of Divine Desolation.
Gradually, a crack appeared in the sky, and divine light poured out, making the shadow of the Heavenly Gate in the void instantly become a physical existence. It suppressed the heavens and the earth!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
A moment later, under the gaze of billions of living beings, a vast divine light emerged and evolved into a majestic Path to Heaven in the void.
It seemed to descend from the nine heavens and extend to the mortal world.
There were five ancient Heavenly Gates on it, all supreme and unfathomable.

166 Path to Heaven, Eighth Successive Disciple!
"The Path to Heaven has descended."
Looking at the ancient Path to Heaven that seemed to hang between heaven and earth, all the cultivators present revealed incomparably intense excitement.
...
Their eyes were filled with endless anticipation and yearning.
The Path to Heaven that appeared once every thousand years was the battlefield of the overwhelming prodigies of the world. It also symbolized supreme opportunities and fortune. If one could open even just a Heavenly Gate, one would receive a reward from the heavens.
If one with supreme talent could open all five Heavenly Gates and walk to the end of the Path to Heaven, one would then receive blessings from the heavens and be bestowed with shocking great fortune.
At that step, one would have the qualifications to become a Great Emperor!
Of course, that level was not something they could peep at or imagine. The creatures gathered in the Heishui Ancient City had never thought of achieving that.
After all, Jiuzhou was the most remote and weakest place in the Green Heaven Region. It was already a great fortune to have Yan Huihuang, who had the potential to become a Sage.
As for someone in Jiuzhou having the potential to knock open all five Heavenly Gates and thus have the potential to become a Great Emperor, it was simply impossible. Such a person would not appear in Jiuzhou at all.
Therefore, with the arrival of the Path to Heaven, everyone present was looking forward to Yan Huihuang's performance. If the rumors were true, she would be able to knock open three Heavenly Gates.
Even by doing that, she would be the pride of the Great World of Divine Desolation!
The others had no chance at all.
Thinking of this, everyone was secretly looking forward to Yan Huihuang's appearance and witnessing her peerless appearance in opening the Heavenly Gates.
…
"The Path to Heaven has finally arrived. Emissary Dongfang promised me that he would walk to the end of the Path to Heaven and obtain the final Sky-mending Divine Water, which is a symbol of the potential of the Great Emperor. In comparison, Yan Huihuang is like a firefly compared to the bright moon."
Li Heishui clenched his fists. Boundless anticipation filled the depths of his eyes.
"City Lord, will you go to the Path to Heaven?"
He was silent for a while before asking Lin Wudao softly.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao smiled.
"This time, with my Brother Dongfang around, I won't join in the fun."
"Uh, that's really a pity."
"We were prepared to witness your unparalleled elegance, City Lord."
Yin Siming and Li Heishui said regretfully.
Lin Wudao didn't say anything more. He just stared at the Path to Heaven in the sky, a hint of divine light in his eyes.
Buzz!
It was also at this moment that the Book of All Beings in the system space suddenly trembled violently.
Soon after, a message appeared.
"Emissary Dongfang, the Path to Heaven has arrived. Does the deal before still count?"
Li Chengyin?
Looking at the message, Lin Wudao realized he had almost forgotten about the matter.
"Yes, of course. Since I've promised you, I'll definitely fulfill your wish. You will be the Li family's clan leader. Just wait patiently."
After saying that, he cut off his connection with Li Chengyin.
"I suddenly gained some insight and need to cultivate. Don't disturb me."
Hmm? Cultivating at this time?
Be it Yin Siming or Li Heishui, they both revealed puzzled expressions.
However, they didn't dare to ask too much about Lin Wudao's actions.
They simply continued to look at the Path to Heaven in the distance.
Whoosh!
While they weren't paying attention, Lin Wudao took a step forward and disappeared. After a moment, he returned and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He looked like he was immersed in cultivation.
However, this was only his doppelganger. His original body had already transformed into Dongfang Bubai and arrived at the Li family.
…
Shanhai Courtyard.
Li Chengyin and Li Qingshan were anxiously waiting, their hearts filled with worry.
At this moment, all the young masters and clansmen of the Li family had already gone to observe the Path to Heaven. Only they remained in the Li family.
They were waiting for Dongfang Bubai's arrival.
"Chengyin, that Emissary Dongfang… Will he really come and help you?"
After a long silence, Li Qingshan finally couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Li Chengyin nodded heavily.
"He will, Grandpa. I have already contacted Emissary Dongfang. He said that he will arrive soon and I just need to wait patiently."
"Sigh, I hope so."
Li Qingshan looked worried.
"Our Li family is no longer what it used to be. Although we have the name of a hidden aristocratic family, we aren't that strong anymore. If it weren't for the City of Sin's City Lord Lin Wudao, our Li family would have been gobbled up by the three big aristocratic families. To think our five-thousand-year inheritance has fallen to such a state."
He looked dejected.
In just one or two days, the Li family suffered a huge blow. Their foundation of more than 5,000 years was lost in a jiffy.
Li Qingshan was not the only one who felt endless sorrow. The entire Li family felt the same.
Now, they no longer had the ambition to fight for power with other families. At this point, they only wanted to keep their lives.
This world had always been an arena for the strong. The weak were destined to be trampled under their feet.
"Chengyin, do you think we can invite Dongfang Bubai to help our Li family get rid of the City…"
"Grandpa, be careful with your words. It's already a great fortune that our Li family is able to survive. Although we're affiliated with the City of Sin, it's still the way to protect ourselves. We can't have second thoughts. Otherwise, our entire family will be annihilated."
Li Chengyin interrupted anxiously. He did not dare to have such thoughts.
"Don't worry, I am just casually saying it. I will not be so stupid."
Li Qingshan sighed.
Soon after, he no longer spoke.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a strange figure appeared in front of them.
"Emissary Dongfang?"
Li Chengyin and Li Qingshan bowed.
They were extremely respectful.
After all, their futures were all in Dongfang Bubai's hands.
"I came here to fulfill your wish. The Path to Heaven has arrived. Later, I will participate in it with your identity. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the position of the clan leader."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wudao immediately used the Great Disguise Technique to change Li Chengyin's figure and appearance.
Then, he disguised himself as Li Chengyin.
Seeing this miraculous method, both Li Qingshan and Li Chengyin were greatly impressed.
"I'll leave everything to Emissary Dongfang."
"Alright," Lin Wudao replied indifferently. Then, he strode out of the Li family under the gazes of the two.
…
A moment later, when Lin Wudao arrived at the square in the center of the Heishui Ancient City, he saw the geniuses of the major factions watching from the side. They were all rubbing their fists and preparing to show off their skills on the Path to Heaven.
Lin Wudao quickly swept his gaze over them and waited.
"The Path to Heaven has already appeared. Since no one is willing to show it, then let me offer a modest spur."
Suddenly, a loud and clear voice resounded in all directions.
Thump!
As soon as those words were said, a young man with a strong build and a strong aura suddenly descended from the sky under everyone's gaze.
"Xiong Tuo, a prodigy of the True Dragon Academy."
A wave of restlessness came from the crowd.
Similarly, in the distance, Li Qingcheng, who also belonged to the True Dragon Academy, also revealed an expression of anticipation when she saw Xiong Tuo.
"Is Xiong Tuo very strong?" Li Heishui asked curiously.
"Of course. Senior Brother Xiong Tuo is the 8th successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy. Not only is he born with great strength, but he also cultivates the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Scripture created by a human ancestor. His combat strength is extremely powerful. He has few opponents in the same realm. According to our leader, Xiong Tuo has the potential to become a King."
Li Qingcheng's face was full of admiration.
Potential to become a King?
Li Heishui was quite surprised.
"So, he can open the first gate?"
"Not necessarily. Although the first Heavenly Gate is the weakest, it's not something that ordinary people can open. It tests the cultivator's perseverance and Dao heart. Only those with strong willpower and a firm Dao heart are worthy of the title of King. This is not just a casual remark."
Yin Siming laughed.
Regarding this, Li Heishui also agreed.
"Strong strength doesn't necessarily mean strong willpower and Dao heart. I wonder how many levels this 8th successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy can cross."
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Boom!
Just as they were discussing, Xiong Tuo's figure flashed and stepped onto the first Dao step.

167 The Potential to Become a Half-step King!
The Path to Heaven, the battlefield of the prodigies.
Whoosh!
...
As Xiong Tuo stepped onto the first Dao step, everyone's eyes fell on him simultaneously.
He was truly the center of attention.
In response, although Xiong Tuo could feel everyone's attention, he didn't pay any heed to them and didn't dare to be distracted.
His expression also began to turn solemn.
That was because, just as he stepped onto the first Dao step, an invisible and powerful force suddenly descended on his body, making his footsteps heavy.
Other than that, he could feel that the surrounding scenery was beginning to change. The desire in the deepest part of his heart was being triggered.
"As expected, it's a test of perseverance and Dao heart. Without the support of a strong will and a tenacious Dao heart, one will be affected by illusions and inner demons. At that time, knocking open the Heavenly Gate will also become a fool's dream."
His heart was heavy.
Only when one was on the Path to Heaven could one personally experience its terror. It was definitely not as simple as one imagined.
However, Xiong Tuo was no ordinary person.
"Hu…"
After adjusting his mood, he strode forward with a bold aura.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Xiong Tuo continued to climb the Dao steps with heavy footsteps.
Seeing this, the cultivators in the surrounding and the geniuses in the Green Heaven Region were also greatly encouraged.
They were silent for a moment before they also began to rush towards the 3,000 Dao steps. They chased after Xiong Tuo, who was at the front.
However, not everyone had Xiong Tuo's powerful strength and firm Dao heart.
After stepping onto the Dao steps, many were either unable to withstand the terrifying pressure or were eroded by illusions and inner demons, stopping on the steps.
In the end, they had no choice but to be eliminated by the Dao steps.
Only those who were truly psychologically strong could advance on the 3,000 Dao steps.
Thump, thump, thump…
Very quickly, under the watchful eyes of many onlookers, Xiong Tuo relied on his tenacious willpower and Dao heart to cross over 1,000 Dao steps. Still, his speed did not show any signs of slowing down.
Seeing this, everyone's gaze followed his figure as he continued to move forward.
1,100.
1,200.
1,300.
…
Everyone counted in their hearts. All of them wanted to see what the limit of this peerless genius from the True Dragon Academy was.
After another hour, Xiong Tuo had successfully crossed 1,500 Dao steps.
It was only at this moment that his speed gradually slowed down.
Though, compared to the others, he was still much faster.
In the blink of an eye, he had reached the two thousandth Dao step.
At this stage, Xiong Tuo's expression began to change. His breathing became labored and his footsteps became heavier. It was as if he had to endure immense pressure with every step he took.
However, he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Go, Senior Brother Xiong Tuo!"
Below, Li Qingcheng clenched her fists tightly and kept cheering for Xiong Tuo.
"Mister Yin, how far do you think Xiong Tuo can go?" Li Heishui asked curiously.
Hearing this, Li Qingcheng pricked up her ears.
At the same time, a trace of nervousness rose in her heart.
"Hmm, with his current strength and condition, he definitely won't be able to open the King's Heavenly Gate, but it won't be too far off. According to my estimation, Xiong Tuo will eventually stop at around 2,200 steps. He will be within 800 steps from the King's Heavenly Gate," Yin Siming answered slowly after pondering for a while.
More than 2,200 steps?
Li Heishui was obviously a little surprised. He had underestimated Xiong Tuo.
"It seems like the 8th successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy is no ordinary person. His strong will and firm Dao heart are much better than Lin Xuanzhen's."
He praised.
"Of course. Although Senior Brother Xiong Tuo's aptitude is slightly inferior to Lin Xuanzhen's, His willpower and Dao heart are incomparable against Shangqing Sword Palace's Lin Xuanzhen."
Li Qingcheng raised her head proudly.
Those who didn't know better would think that she had opened the Heavenly Gate.
…
"Look, Xiong Tuo has stopped."
After God knows how long, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Li Heishui and the rest looked over and saw that Xiong Tuo had indeed stopped on the 3,000 steps.
Even though he had tried his best, he could not take another step forward.
In the end, he stopped at 2,272 Dao steps.
He was only 728 steps away from the King's Heavenly Gate.
This result caused countless people to sigh.
Boom!
A few moments later, a gentle force burst forth from the Dao steps, sending Xiong Tuo to the ground steadily.
The elders and disciples of the True Dragon Academy quickly surrounded him.
One by one, they cast excited and reverent gazes over.
"Elder, I failed to open the King's Heavenly Gate and disgraced the reputation of the True Dragon Academy."
Xiong Tuo's face was filled with guilt.
The elder leading the group laughed heartily.
"You've already done very well. The leader has said that you have the potential to become a King, and it seems that is not a baseless claim. You've already crossed the 2272nd step, so you can be considered to have the potential to become a Half-step King. You have already surpassed most of the geniuses in the Great World of Divine Desolation and you haven't brought any shame to True Dragon Academy. Continue to work hard, and your future will definitely be limitless."
The elder patted Xiong Tuo's shoulder heavily. His eyes were full of encouragement.
Hearing this, Xiong Tuo also nodded firmly.
"Elder, do you think Lin Xuanzhen from the Shangqing Sword Palace can open the King's Heavenly Gate? "
"Well, it's hard to say."
The elder shook his head slightly.
"Lin Xuanzhen's aptitude and aptitude bone are extremely outstanding, much stronger than yours. However, in terms of willpower and Dao-heart, he is inferior to you. Therefore, I guess that if he goes to the Path to Heaven, he will definitely not go as far as you."
The elder gave a fair evaluation.
Hearing this, Xiong Tuo nodded in satisfaction.
He was very satisfied to be able to defeat Lin Xuanzhen in terms of willpower and Dao heart.
"It's a pity that the other disciples of True Dragon Academy are not here. Otherwise, someone would definitely be able to knock open the King's Heavenly Gate…"
At this moment, a disciple said regretfully.
"To participate in the Path to Heaven, one's bone age must be below 30 years old. This has already restricted many people. In addition, the rewards of the heavens are not that easy to obtain. Xiong Tuo might have walked over 2,000 steps with only 700 steps left, however, the remaining 700 steps are even more difficult than the 2,000 steps he took before. On the so-called Path to Heaven, every step is to ascend to the heavens. Ordinary people don't have that ability. In the entire Great World of Divine Desolation, there are definitely no more than ten people who can knock open the first Heavenly Gate."
The elder said solemnly.
What? Was it that difficult?
When the disciples heard this, they were shocked.
Then, they all looked at Xiong Tuo, only to see him nod in agreement.
"The further I went, the more difficult it became. Every step forward put me under tremendous pressure. In addition, there was the erosion of illusions and inner demons. It isn't easy to successfully knock open the first gate. Perhaps, only a peerless figure like Yan Huihuang would be able to walk through it with ease."
Speaking of Yan Huihuang, Xiong Tuo's eyes immediately revealed a look of reverence.
At the same time, the rest of the people present also revealed endless admiration.
The number one prodigy of the vast Great World of Divine Desolation had suppressed countless geniuses to the point they could not raise their heads.
"Elder, there's been a rumor recently that Yan Huihuang is about to leave the Great World of Divine Desolation and head to a Holy Land to cultivate. Is this true?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that too."
"It's said that it's the Jade Pool Holy Land."
…
Everyone started discussing.
Regarding this, the elder only smiled faintly and did not say anything.
He looked at Lin Wudao in the distance, wanting to see the City of Sin's City Lord's reaction. However, what surprised him was that Lin Wudao was sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly cultivating.
"Doesn't he want to go to the Path to Heaven and show off?"
The elder was surprised.
Although he did not know what Lin Wudao was thinking, he did not continue to pay attention to him.
After observing for a while, his attention fell back on the Path to Heaven.
At the same time, Lin Wudao was also paying attention to the situation of the Path to Heaven with his identity as Li Chengyin.
At this moment, a group of young masters and clansmen of the Li family also went up.
However, in less than 15 minutes, everyone had been eliminated. The person who had walked the furthest had only reached the 800th step.
"This gap is a little too big," He muttered to himself.
After saying that, he took a step forward, intending to try it out himself.

168 The Best in the Li Family!
Boom!
When Lin Wudao stepped onto the first Dao step, he felt the same pressure as Xiong Tuo. It was as if he was wearing a heavy pair of iron shoes.
...
Other than that, all kinds of illusions and inner demons appeared on the seemingly ordinary Dao steps, trying to harass his mind and disintegrate his will.
"These 3,000 Dao steps are indeed something," Muttering softly, Lin Wudao took a step forward and started walking.
At the same time, his sudden appearance also shocked many young masters and clansmen of the Li family.
"Li Chengyin?"
"Does the Second Young Master also want to try the Path to Heaven?"
"The other six young masters have all failed. Even the most outstanding Ninth Young Master, Li Chengfeng, only managed to take 800 steps. I wonder how far he can go."
"He'll be the first place if he surpasses 800 steps!"
…
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Others went to the Path to Heaven just to show off their aptitude and potential, but the members of the Li family were fighting for the position of clan leader.
At present, the Ninth Young Master Li Chengfeng had the best performance, reaching 800 steps.
If Li Chengyin could surpass him, he would be undisputedly the best in the Li family. At that time, he would also become the next clan leader of the Li family.
At the thought of this, everyone was filled with anticipation.
Other than them, Li Chengyin also came to the scene.
To hide his identity, he wore a black cloak that hide his figure. In addition, he also wore a mask.
"Emissary Dongfang has entered the arena. He will definitely be able to surpass 800 steps."
Below, Li Chengyin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with intense anticipation.
…
Lin Wudao didn't care about the Li family's reaction.
He wanted to first use his disguised identity as Li Chengyin to probe the Path to Heaven, in preparation for opening the Heavenly Gate later.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Lin Wudao walked on the Dao steps, looking extremely relaxed.
It was as if the pressure and illusions on the Dao steps were unable to affect him at all.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed 800 steps.
This scene caused all the members of the Li family to widen their eyes. Even Li Chengfeng, who was usually calm and collected, revealed a shocked expression.
"This Second Young Master has really hidden well," He muttered to himself.
He was very obscure and low-key, to begin with. Other than himself, no one knew his aptitude and strength.
He hadn't expected that Li Chengyin had hidden even deeper than him.
The other party had crossed 800 steps so easily. As such, the next clan leader of the Li family was none other than him.
Seeing this result, Li Chengfeng could not help but sigh in his heart.
Although he was a little disappointed, he did not feel too conflicted. After all, he didn't care much for the position of the clan leader.
On the other hand, the others all revealed strange expressions and gazes. Obviously, they were greatly surprised by Li Chengyin's outstanding performance.
"It seems that Second Young Master's position as the clan leader is already secured."
"It is unexpected that he is the one who has hidden the deepest."
"I wonder what the Second Young Master's limit is? Can he walk a thousand steps?"
"Oh, looking at his condition, it shouldn't be a big problem."
…
The crowd discussed animatedly.
As time passed, Lin Wudao maintained a constant speed.
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed a thousand steps and was still advancing.
1,100.
1,200.
1,300.
…
2,000.
Hmm? Where did this genius come from?
After Lin Wudao had crossed 2,000 steps, a large number of onlookers gathered their gazes on him, and their eyes revealed surprise and astonishment.
"Isn't this the Second Young Master of the Li family, Li Chengyin? He actually has such outstanding talent?"
Everyone was shocked.
"I heard that the Li family has recently experienced a huge change and their strength has been greatly reduced. I didn't expect that there would be such an extraordinary genius hidden in the family."
"2,000 steps is not far from the result of the True Dragon Academy's successive disciple."
"The Li family has produced a formidable character!"
…
At this moment, all eyes were on the Li family.
Even Li Heishui was shocked.
"Li Chengyin has such potential?"
He frowned slightly.
Although he didn't have any enmity with Li Chengyin's branch, he didn't have a good impression of the entire Li family. Naturally, after seeing Li Chengyin's outstanding performance, he felt somewhat displeased.
"I have a feeling that he will go even further than Xiong Tuo."
Suddenly, Yin Siming's voice rang out.
What was that? He was even more outstanding than Xiong Tuo?
These words made Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng widen their eyes.
As expected, just as they were astonished, a huge uproar suddenly sounded from the surrounding crowd. They raised their eyes and looked over, only to see that Li Chengyin had already walked 2,500 steps.
Moreover, he still maintained his original speed!
"Huh? This Second Young Master of the Li family actually has such talent and potential?"
Among those from the True Dragon Academy, Xiong Tuo and the others also revealed looks of disbelief.
"Senior Xiong Tuo, I feel that… You might be surpassed."
At this moment, a disciple said.
"Sigh, so be it. What's the big deal? There are so many geniuses in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation. What am I?" Xiong Tuo said indifferently.
After saying that, he continued to pay attention to "Li Chengyin's" progress.
At this moment, Lin Wudao was still moving forward with Li Chengyin's identity.
Relying on his indestructible body and powerful soul, the pressure and illusions on the Dao steps could not affect or threaten him at all.
Even though it was indeed getting increasingly difficult to advance toward the end, it was still just so-so to Lin Wudao.
Fifteen minutes later, he had surpassed Xiong Tuo and reached 2,500 steps.
Seeing this, the surrounding spectators all cast shocked gazes.
"This is a genius who is even more outstanding than Xiong Tuo!" Someone exclaimed.
"He is indeed amazing."
"To be able to walk 2,500 steps shows that this person has a great aptitude and a firm Dao heart. In any sect in the Green Heaven Region, he is enough to be a successive disciple."
"The Li family has produced a good seedling."
…
Overwhelming praises sounded.
However, Lin Wudao was indifferent.
"2,500 steps. At this level, it should be enough."
With that, under everyone's surprised gazes, he flew out of the Path to Heaven.
"Uh, why isn't he continuing?"
"He hasn't reached his limit yet, right?"
"He was about to reach the Heavenly Gate. Is he giving up just like that?"
…
Everyone was puzzled.
He could have continued moving forward, so why did he give up halfway?
"Sigh, what a pity," An elder of the True Dragon Academy said regretfully.
Similarly, the experts from the other factions also shook their heads.
In their opinion, Li Chengyin could obviously continue. They could not understand why he would give up halfway.
"Such a genius must be taken in as a disciple. Men, go and ask Li Chengyin if he is willing to cultivate at True Dragon Academy."
"Yes, sir."
Xiong Tuo replied respectfully and turned to leave.
Other than the True Dragon Academy, the Xia Dynasty, Baitian Sect, Yinyue Dynasty, and other major factions in the Green Heaven Region also sent people to Li Chengyin, wanting to take him in as a disciple.
Although Lin Wudao saw their actions, he didn't care.
Whoosh!
After leaving the Path to Heaven, he took a step forward and returned to the Li family.
Not long after, Li Chengyin returned.
"Thank you, Emissary Dongfang!"
Thump!
Upon meeting, Li Chengyin kowtowed heavily toward Lin Wudao, filled with boundless surprise and gratitude. His eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao nodded indifferently.
"I have fulfilled your wish for you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
After saying that, Lin Wudao restored Li Chengyin's original appearance and disappeared in a flash.

169 The Number One Prodigy in the Great World of Divine Desolation, Yan Huihuang!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
...
Whoosh!
…
As soon as Lin Wudao left, many powerful figures arrived in front of Li Chengyin.
The person at the front was Xiong Tuo.
"True Dragon Academy? May I know why you have come to the Li family?"
Seeing Xiong Tuo and the others, although Li Chengyin had already guessed the reason for their arrival in his heart, he still asked.
No one wasted any time. They went straight to the point.
"Young Master Li, I am the 8th successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy, Xiong Tuo. The main purpose of my visit is to ask if you are willing to go to the True Dragon Academy to cultivate. True Dragon Academy will treat you as a successive disciple as well, and your status and resources will be above mine. What do you think, Young Master Li?" Xiong Tuo asked amiably.
Similarly, the others also expressed their intentions.
"The Xia Dynasty sincerely invites Young Master Li to come and cultivate in our dynasty. We will definitely treat you as a pillar of the country."
"The Baitian Sect invites Young Master Li to cultivate in our sect."
"The Yinyue Dynasty sincerely invites Young Master Li to cultivate in our dynasty."
…
Many factions in the Green Heaven Region extended their olive branches, wanting to invite Li Chengyin to join them.
Ha…
Li Chengyin was instantly overwhelmed by everyone's heated gazes.
This was the first time he had experienced such treatment, and all of this was thanks to Dongfang Bubai.
"Thank you for your kind intentions. My potential is limited, so I don't want to leave Heishui Ancient City for the time being. Please forgive me."
Without hesitation, Li Chengyin rejected their kind invitations frankly.
Currently, the entire Li Family was already attached to the City of Sin. If he were to switch factions now, wouldn't that be equivalent to betraying the City of Sin?
At that time, once Lin Wudao was furious, their Li family would definitely be reduced to ashes.
He could not afford that price.
Even though the True Dragon Academy was a major faction in the Green Heaven Region and he yearned to go, Li Chengyin did not dare to take the risk.
He had witnessed Lin Wudao's strength. Even a Mystic Heaven Realm powerhouse from the Shangqing Sword Palace had been killed by the other party with a single strike. How could he dare to rebel?
"Hehe…"
Seemingly seeing through Li Chengyin's worry, Xiong Tuo and the others could not help but chuckle.
"Young Master Li, are you worried about the City of Sin?"
"This…"
"To be honest, you don't have to worry about this at all. Although Lin Wudao from the City of Sin is cruel and brutal, he's still a nobody. How can he fight against us? As long as Young Master Li chooses any of the factions here, you will be able to become a successive disciple. At that time, with the support of the faction behind you, why should you be afraid of Lin Wudao?" Someone from the Baitian Sect said proudly. He seemed to be extremely confident in his strength.
Hearing their words, Li Chengyin still shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness. However, I don't want to leave the Heishui Ancient City. This place is my root. I only want to stay here and spend the rest of my life."
After saying that, he fell silent.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions became somewhat unsightly.
"Hmph, you don't know how to appreciate favors."
"Young Master Li, it is only normal for people to strive for higher ground, just like water flows downwards. As a person, we still have to look forward."
"This is a rare opportunity. I hope Young Master Li will reconsider it."
"In that case, I will not force you."
"What a pity."
…
Everyone sighed.
After that, they persuaded him for a while more. Seeing that Li Chengyin was still unmoved, they could only leave resentfully.
This was the Heishui Ancient City. They knew their limits. If they angered Lin Wudao, they would all die.
After all, Lin Wudao was extremely cruel. He even dared to kill the people of the Shangqing Sword Palace. Killing them was something he could and might do.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
After Xiong Tuo and the others left, Li Chengyin, who had just walked out of the room, inadvertently glanced at the eaves in the distance. His eyes instantly revealed unprecedented fear.
This was because on the roof stood a fierce man. It was Li Zangtian!
Whoosh!
After giving him a cold glance, Li Zangtian disappeared.
"Hu…"
Li Chengyin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zangtian leave. He was drenched in a cold sweat.
"If I had agreed earlier and even showed the slightest sign of being tempted, I might have become a corpse at this moment."
He felt a lingering fear.
His previous caution had saved his life, as well as the entire Li family.
Thinking of this, Li Chengyin did not dare to have any more thoughts. After adjusting his mood, he walked toward the Path to Heaven with a heart full of reverence.
…
Li Zangtian's actions were naturally instructed by Lin Wudao.
If Li Chengyin dared to join another faction, he would kill the other party without hesitation. He would even destroy the entire Li family.
He would not keep an existence that was out of his control.
Now, it could be considered a warning to Li Chengyin. As long as he was not stupid, he would know what to do.
Lin Wudao did not pay much attention to this matter.
After leaving the Li family, he returned to the scene of the Path to Heaven.
Whoosh!
Coincidentally, at this moment, a sharp air-piercing sound came from the distant horizon, accompanied by a monstrous power and extraordinary bearing.
Looking up, he saw a huge spiritual boat that was 3,000 feet long descending on the Heishui Ancient City.
There was a dragon flag on it.
"The Xia Dynasty!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
One by one, their gazes landed on the spiritual boat.
With the dragon flag on the boat, it was obvious that a major character of the Xia Dynasty had arrived. Moreover, it was someone from the royal family.
Who could it be?
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Thump!
Just as everyone was in shock, the door of the palace on the spiritual boat opened with a bang. Immediately after, a middle-aged man wearing a robe embroidered with nine dragons and exuding a monstrous aura slowly walked out.
Just by standing there, he gave off a peerless aura.
"What?"
"It's the Emperor of Xia!"
"Yan Zangtian? He actually came personally?"
…
An uproar arose as the crowd let out deafening cries of surprise.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Zangtian, the Emperor of Xia.
"He is the Emperor of Xia?"
Lin Wudao was also secretly surprised.
The Emperor of Xia, the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, was a lofty figure with extraordinary bearing.
No one expected him to come personally.
"Even the Emperor of Xia has arrived. It seems like he's here specifically for Yan Huihuang," Li Heishui said in a deep voice.
Yan Huihuang, the woman who suppressed many geniuses of the Great World of Divine Desolation to the point they suffocated.
Every time she was mentioned, many men would feel extremely aggrieved.
In the past twenty years, no one could defeat her.
She suppressed the Great World of Divine Desolation as a woman!
To the Great World of Divine Desolation, this was an honor. However, to the men of the Great World of Divine Desolation, it was a humiliation.
All these years, countless geniuses tried to challenge Yan Huihuang's position, but they all failed.
Today, the Emperor of Xia had come personally. Clearly, he wanted to see Yan Huihuang's peerless demeanor on the Path to Heaven.
"So, Yan Huihuang will be going up next?"
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao immediately waited patiently.
…
Whoosh!
After some time, just as everyone was still immersed in the might of the Emperor of Xia, an ancient spiritual boat streaked across the void and appeared in front of everyone.
On it stood a woman in red who was otherworldly and as cold as the moon.
Thump!
She glanced around indifferently and took a step forward, reaching the Path to Heaven.
In an instant, everyone's eyes and attention were focused on her.

170 King's Heavenly Gate, Hundred-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine!
Whoosh!
As Yan Huihuang appeared, Lin Wudao looked over immediately.
...
Unlike others, he saw all kinds of information about Yan Huihuang through God's Spiritual Eye.
[Name: Yan Huihuang]
[Identity: Taiqing Dao Sect's number one successive disciple]
[Cultivation: Mid-stage of the Divine Power realm]
[Aptitude: Excellent]
[Talent: Instant Comprehension]
[Aptitude Bone: Supreme Divine King Bone]
[Bloodline: Divine King Blood]
[Phenomenon: Bright Moon on the Sea]
[Cultivation Technique: Great Heavens Domination Sacred Technique (Divine Kingdom chapter)]
[Skill: Seven Star Ancient Fist, divine technique – Divine King Descent, divine technique – Interruption, secret technique – Nine Steps to Heaven, Twelve Seals of Taiqing, Taiqing Sword Energy, Heaven-breaking Hand…]
[Divine Weapon: Taixiao Ancient Sword]
[Potential: Potential to become a Sage]
…
A lot of information appeared before his eyes.
After reading it, Lin Wudao was astonished.
"As expected of the number one prodigy of the Great World of Divine Desolation. Her aptitude and aptitude bone are indeed extremely outstanding. No wonder she can suppress so many prodigies of the Great World of Divine Desolation to the point they can't raise their heads."
Yan Huihuang was the second most outstanding woman Lin Wudao had seen since he started cultivating, the first being Ye Zhexian.
In the 12 regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation, Yan Huihuang was undoubtedly the number one prodigy in terms of aptitude and strength.
"The potential to become a Sage? Does that mean she can open the third Heavenly Gate?"
As he pondered, Lin Wudao quietly paid attention to her progress.
At the same time, under the gaze of countless people, Yan Huihuang paused on the Dao steps for a while before she started walking.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
At this moment, the space around was silent.
There was only the sound of Yan Huihuang's steady footsteps.
Just like Lin Wudao, Yan Huihuang didn't seem to be affected by the pressure and illusions on the Path to Heaven. She simply moved forward calmly.
Very quickly, she walked two thousand steps. Still, her speed was not affected at all.
2,100!
2,200!
2,300!
…
As she walked, everyone counted silently. The entire process was extremely smooth.
Even after surpassing "Li Chengyin's" 2,500 steps, Yan Huihuang's speed was not affected at all.
After another moment, she was about to complete the 3,000 steps.
At this time, Lin Wudao put on the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of the Heavens, then quietly appeared beside Li Heishui and Yin Siming.
"Every time one opens a Heavenly Gate on the Path to Heaven, will one receive a reward from the heavens?"
His deep voice suddenly sounded.
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Yin Siming, Li Heishui, and the others instantly turned their eyes to him. When they saw Lin Wudao's mysterious attire, they were all shocked.
Especially Li Heishui, his spirit was greatly boosted!
"Emissary Dongfang, you're finally here."
He bowed respectfully.
Similarly, Yin Siming, who was standing at the side, had a strange glint in his eyes.
Previously, back in the Dari Demonic Sect, he had seen Dongfang Bubai's figure from afar. This time, the other party had appeared right in front of him.
This greatly shocked Yin Siming!
Only when he came into contact with Dongfang Bubai could he feel the other party's mysteriousness and unpredictability.
He didn't dare to probe the other party at all!
He had only glanced at the other party with his Eye of Truth, and Yin Siming felt an endless terror that swept over crazily, wanting to obliterate his soul.
He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his gaze.
He was shocked beyond belief!
"Every time one opens a Heavenly Gate on the Path to Heaven, will one receive a reward from the heavens?"
At this moment, Lin Wudao asked again.
Hearing this, Yin Siming nodded.
"Will only the first person to open the Heavenly Gate be rewarded, or is there a reward for everyone who knocks open the Heavenly Gate?"
"Everyone who can do it will obtain a reward. The shorter the time it takes to open the Heavenly Gate, the greater the reward one will receive," Yin Siming replied.
Boom!
Just as he finished speaking, a heaven-shaking rumble suddenly came from the Path to Heaven in the distance.
At the same time, a huge uproar broke out among the onlookers.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
At this moment, Yan Huihuang had already climbed the 3,000 Dao steps and successfully opened the first Heavenly Gate on the Path to Heaven.
"The first Heavenly Gate symbolizes the potential to become a King!"
Everyone was shocked, and they looked at Yan Huihuang with reverence.
[Yan Huihuang, a living being of Jiuzhou, has become the first person to open the King's Heavenly Gate in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation. She will be rewarded with a 100,000-year-old longevity spiritual medicine as an encouragement!]
Suddenly, a majestic and grand voice came from the vast sky. It resounded throughout the vast Great World of Divine Desolation!
What? Yan Huihuang opened the King's Heavenly Gate?
As the heavenly voice sounded, the billions of living beings in the 12 regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation instantly boiled, and each of them revealed an extremely yearning expression.
"As expected of the number one prodigy of the Great World of Divine Desolation!"
"Opening the King's Heavenly Gate symbolizes the potential to become a King. In the 12 regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation, only Yan Huihuang has such a shocking ability. I'm simply not as good as her."
"A hundred-thousand-year-old longevity spiritual medicine is a divine object that can increase one's lifespan by a thousand years!"
"I'm so jealous!"
"If it were me, how good would that be…"
…
Countless living beings exclaimed.
At this moment, everyone in the 12 regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation focused on one being: Yan Huihuang!
Even the True Martial Divine Palace's Sword Sage Marquis Ling Tian and the Divine Fortune-teller Liao Rushen who were above the clouds were full of emotion when they saw Yan Huihuang open the King's Heavenly Gate.
"This woman is indeed extraordinary!" Liao Rusheng sipped his tea and praised softly.
Hearing this, Marquis Ling Tian grunted, and his expression turned ugly.
"Hmph! If it wasn't for me being delayed by something during the ceremony in the Great World of Divine Desolation back then, would Yan Huihuang have been snatched away by the people of the Taiqing Dao Sect?"
At this point, Marquis Ling Tian immediately revealed a look of dissatisfaction. There was even a fierce glint in the depths of his eyes!
Obviously, he hated the Taiqing Dao Sect to the core.
Seeing this, Liao Rushen smiled lightly.
"That was twenty years ago, and you still remember it? Since Yan Huihuang has gone to the Taiqing Dao Sect, it proves that she is not fated with your True Martial Divine Palace. Fate cannot be forced," He said slowly.
As soon as he said this, Marquis Ling Tian's ferocious gaze swept over.
"Hmph, so what? This matter concerns the dignity and face of the True Martial Divine Palace. How can I forget? All these years, just because of Yan Huihuang, how much did the True Martial Divine Palace suffer? I will definitely get back at them!" Marquis Ling Tian roared.
"Sigh, since you refuse to let go, then you can only find someone more outstanding than Yan Huihuang and slap the Taiqing Dao Sect in the face. However, you have to be quick. I heard that Yan Huihuang is going to head to the Ethereal Sky Sect to cultivate after the Path to Heaven is over."
The Ethereal Sky Sect?
Marquis Ling Tian was stunned when he heard this.
"Didn't they say that she was going to the Jade Pool Holy Land?"
"The Ethereal Sky Sect is a subsidiary force of the Jade Pool Holy Land, to begin with. Yan Huihuang will go there for a while to fight for a spot in the Holy Land. However, with her talent, it should not be a problem," Liao Rushen said lightly.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Marquis Ling Tian's face.
"With Yan Huihuang gone, the Taiqing Dao Sect is just so-so. When I find an overwhelming prodigy, I'll slap its face and take back what we lost in the past twenty years!"
Marquis Ling Tian had a ferocious expression.
In response, Liao Rushen only shook his head lightly and did not speak.
Rumble!
While they were discussing, the second Heavenly Gate on the Path to Heaven had already slowly condensed from the void.
In an instant, accompanied by mighty heavenly sounds, 81 ancient golden bells appeared on the Path to Heaven under the shocked gazes of countless people.

171 Six Great Divine Steles!
True God's Heavenly Gate.
Seeing the eighty-one golden heavenly bells on the Path to Heaven and the mysterious and magnificent Heavenly Gate behind them, the onlookers clenched their fists.
...
Their eyes were filled with excitement.
This second Heavenly Gate represented one's potential to become a True God.
If one wanted to open it, one could only do so by using one's strength to ring the eighty-one golden heavenly bells in one go.
This was a test of the cultivator's combat strength.
"My daughter is the number one prodigy in the Great World of Divine Desolation. She has suppressed the geniuses of the Great World of Divine Desolation for 20 years. Be it in terms of aptitude, perseverance, Dao heart, or strength, she is undoubtedly the best. This time, she will definitely be able to easily open the True God's Heavenly Gate and strengthen our Xia Dynasty."
On the vast spiritual boat, Yan Zangtian's eyes were bright. He looked at Yan Huihuang with confidence and pride.
Yan Huihuang! Not only was she the glory of the Great World of Divine Desolation, but also the glory of the Xia Dynasty.
Now, there was a saying in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation that a daughter should be as brilliant as Yan Huihuang. Her existence was a legend.
Yan Zangtian felt extremely honored to have such a daughter.
Similarly, the officials around him were also filled with excitement and anticipation.
"The Eldest Princess is just like her name."
"With the potential to become a Saint, it should be easy for her to open the True God's Heavenly Gate."
"Eldest Princess, please strengthen the Xia Dynasty!"
…
The earth-shaking shouts resounded through the sky.
Boom!
As if she had heard the inner thoughts of the Xia Dynasty, Yan Huihuang, who was standing on the Path to Heaven, looked at the 81 golden heavenly bells.
Suddenly, a vast aura surged out like a primeval river.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Behind Yan Huihuang was an ancient and mysterious void. The dazzling divine light turned into a boundless sea of darkness.
Immediately after, accompanied by the mighty divine light, a magnificent moon suddenly rose from the surface of the sea. Moonlight shone on the world.
"Phenomenon: Bright Moon on the Sea!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted. All of them clenched their fists and stared at Yan Huihuang.
At this moment, all of them felt waves of terrifying power that could topple mountains and overturn seas sweeping out in all directions.
Buzz!
Under the influence of the aura, the 81 golden heavenly bells on the Path to Heaven began to tremble and burst out with dazzling golden divine light.
They seemed to be resonating with Yan Huihuang.
"Divine King Descent!"
Boom!
After the phenomenon of the Bright Moon Above the Sea appeared, an ancient and majestic figure appeared above the vast sea. His head supported the sky while his feet were on the ground.
It was as if he was supporting the entire world.
Thump!
When her aura reached its peak, Yan Huihuang's eyes suddenly flew open. She raised her hand and struck the void.
Rumble!
The phenomenon combined with the divine technique displayed unparalleled power.
As Yan Huihuang struck out her palm, a terrifying palm that covered the sky descended on the world. Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the 81 golden heavenly bells chimed at the same time.
The majestic sound shook the entire Great World of Divine Desolation.
Bang!
It was also at this moment that the True God's Heavenly Gate that stood behind the bells suddenly opened.
[Yan Huihuang, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has become the first person to open the True God's Heavenly Gate in the Great World of Divine Desolation. Her cultivation will be increased by three minor realms as a form of encouragement.]
The majestic heavenly voice sounded again.
Whoosh!
As soon as those words were said, a dazzling divine light suddenly rushed out from the depths of the vast void and fused into Yan Huihuang's body.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
In an instant, it transformed into majestic spiritual energy, raising Yan Huihuang's cultivation from the mid-stage of the Divine Power realm to perfection.
"Ugh, comparing people is infuriating…"
Seeing this scene, the onlookers were both amazed and envious.
They also yearned to possess Yan Huihuang's astonishing talent. Unfortunately, they wished for that, but they simply were not destined to have such a fate.
"Good!"
After seeing Yan Huihuang successfully open the True God's Heavenly Gate, Yan Zangtian's dignified face bloomed with a brilliant smile. His excited laughter reverberated throughout the place.
Similarly, the citizens of the Xia Dynasty also stood up straight and felt proud.
This was the supreme glory of the Xia Dynasty!
"Men, pass on the decree. The Eldest Princess has opened the True God's Heavenly Gate and strengthened the Xia Dynasty. From today onwards, the kingdom will celebrate for three days to congratulate her!" Yan Zangtian ordered.
"Yes."
The official next to him bowed in agreement. He immediately retreated and went to draft the decree.
…
"Next is the Sage's Heavenly Gate."
Yan Zangtian's expression turned grave.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Eldest Princess has the potential to become a Sage. She will definitely be able to open the Sage's Heavenly Gate," An official consoled.
In response, Yan Zangtian nodded.
"Yes. I also believe that my daughter has the potential to be a Sage."
After saying that, his gaze turned back to Yan Huihuang, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Compared to the True God's Heavenly Gate, the next Sage's Heavenly Gate was even more difficult.
If Yan Huihuang could open it, she would be able to reach the heavens in one step.
At that time, not only would she have a bright future, but the entire Xia Dynasty would also benefit from it.
Therefore, Yan Zangtian had high hopes for Yan Huihuang.
In fact, other than him and the citizens of the Xia Dynasty, the spectators present and even the billions of living beings in the entire Great World of Divine Desolation were also looking forward to Yan Huihuang's following performance.
…
Boom!
No one knew how much time had passed.
Under the expectant gazes of countless people, Yan Huihuang crossed the True God's Heavenly Gate and arrived on a huge floating island.
The floating island was connected to heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
When Yan Huihuang stepped on it, beams of divine light suddenly rushed out of the Sage's Heavenly Gate.
In the end, six mysterious heavenly steles appeared in the air.
In front of each ancient heavenly stele, a line of small words was engraved.
[True God technique, Extreme Dao stage]
[Divine King technique, perfection stage]
[Sage technique, peak stage]
[Great Sage technique, major accomplishment stage]
[Quasi-Emperor technique, small success stage]
[Great Emperor technique, elementary stage]
[The six heavenly steles above each record a different level of dharma technique. Choose any dharma technique and cultivate it to the corresponding stage within half a day, and you can open the Sage's Heavenly Gate.]
…
A grand voice resounded through the world.
What?
As soon as these words were said, the surrounding spectators all gasped, their expressions shocked.
"Only half a day?"
"Even the lowest True God-level technique can't be cultivated to the Extreme Dao stage in half a day, right? "
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't."
"If it was that simple, anyone could open the Heavenly Gate…"
"This is the real test."
…
Discussions continued.
At this moment, everyone's hearts tightened, and even Yan Zangtian clenched her fists tightly.
All of them wanted to know which technique Yan Huihuang would choose.
"The True God technique is the simplest, but she has to cultivate it to the Extreme Dao stage in half a day. The Great Emperor technique is the hardest, and only a Great Emperor can possibly cultivate it to the elementary stage in half a day. No matter which she chooses, the effect is the same…" Yan Zangtian sighed.
This round was extremely difficult.
…
At the same time, Yan Huihuang, who was on the Path to Heaven, also fell silent as her gaze fell on the six heavenly steles.
Obviously, she was also considering which technique to choose.
Thump!
After God knows how long, accompanied by the grand sound of a bell chime, Yan Huihuang placed her palm on the first heavenly stele under everyone's gaze.

172 Seven Stars Divine Curse, Breaking Through the Eternal Extreme Realm!
"Yan Huihuang has chosen the True God technique."
No one seemed to be surprised by this result.
...
This was because among the six heavenly steles, the level of the True God technique was the lowest, so it was relatively easier to comprehend.
However, to comprehend the True God technique to the Extreme Dao stage in half a day, one had to be an overwhelming prodigy.
"I wonder if she will succeed?"
At this moment, the whole place was silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yan Huihuang.
…
Boom!
When Yan Huihuang's palm landed on the heavenly stele that represented the True God technique, the heavenly stele exploded and turned into a mysterious dharma technique that landed in her hand.
[You have chosen the True God technique, Seven Stars Divine Curse.]
[The Seven Stars Divine Curse guides the power of the ancient stars into one's body, allowing one to comprehend the mysteries of the Big Dipper. From there, one will learn the true essence of the stars. By reaching the Extreme Dao stage, one will possess unparalleled divine might.]
[Understanding the true essence of one star is the elementary stage.]
[Understanding the true essence of two stars is the small success stage.]
[Understanding the true essence of three stars is the major accomplishment stage.]
…
[Understanding the true essence of all seven stars in the Big Dipper is the Extreme Dao stage.]
Above the sky, a majestic and grand heavenly voice sounded.
Hearing this, Yan Huihuang took a deep breath and threw away all the distracting thoughts in her heart. Then, she held the scroll of the Seven Stars Divine Curse and sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on comprehending it.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
Her talent was Instant Comprehension, which meant she had unparalleled comprehension and could cultivate a technique to the extreme in an extremely short time.
That being said, although the True God Technique was of the lowest level among the six great heavenly steles, it was still quite a challenge for her.
With the help of her talent, many mysteries related to the Seven Stars Divine Curse began to appear in her mind.
Gradually, Yan Huihuang's mind was completely immersed in it.
Seeing this, the onlookers waited patiently.
"Mister Yin, do you think Yan Huihuang can cultivate the Seven Stars Divine Curse to the Extreme Dao stage? "
Below, Li Heishui asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yin Siming shook his head gently.
"This will depend on her fortune. Yan Huihuang has an extraordinary talent, which allows her to cultivate a technique to the extreme in a very short time. However, the Seven Stars Divine Curse is also extraordinary, so it's hard to say. Whether she succeeds or not, we will know once we continue watching…"
After saying that, Yin Siming did not speak anymore.
Although he had the Eye of Truth and knew Yan Huihuang's aptitude and potential, it was indeed harder than ascending to the heavens to cultivate a True God technique to the Extreme Dao stage in half a day.
He couldn't guarantee that Yan Huihuang could do it.
"Since she has the potential to become a Sage, it should be possible, right?" Li Heishui muttered and then fell silent.
Just like that, time unknowingly passed by bit by bit.
Whoosh!
After about two hours, tens of thousands of starlight suddenly fell. An ancient starry sky appeared behind Yan Huihuang.
There were countless stars in the sky, and it was extremely unpredictable.
Thump!
As the ancient starry sky condensed, the first star appeared. It emitted resplendent starlight that illuminated an entire star area.
"Dubhe, done."
Everyone's spirits were greatly roused.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. As long as the true essence of the first star was understood, the rest would be much easier.
As expected…
Rumble!
After she understood the true essence of the first star, Yan Huihuang seemed to have grasped the mysteries of the Seven Stars Divine Curse and understood the trajectory of the stars.
In the vast starlight, the true essence of the stars was constantly comprehended.
In just six hours, Yan Huihuang had successively understood the true essence of Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, and Alioth.
Next, as long as she comprehended the remaining Mizar and Alkaid in the remaining six hours, she would be considered to have cultivated the Seven Stars Divine Curse to the Extreme Dao stage.
At that time, she could then open the Sage's Heavenly Gate.
Everyone present was filled with anticipation.
Boom!
Heaven helps those who help themselves.
Finally, two hours later, the true essence of the sixth star, Mizar, was successfully understood.
Now, there was only one star left.
However, what disappointed the onlookers was that although the faint shadow of the seventh star appeared in the starry sky behind Yan Huihuang in the next four hours, it did not light up.
At this moment, the time set by the Path to Heaven had already arrived.
[Challenge failed. All comprehension of the Seven Stars Divine Curse will be erased.]
A grand voice spread throughout the vast Great World of Divine Desolation.
What? Had she failed the challenge?
Upon learning this result, all the living beings of the vast Great World of Divine Desolation revealed extremely regretful expressions.
At the same time, a large number of geniuses were secretly happy. Since Yan Huihuang did not knock open the Sage's Heavenly Gate, the pressure on them was reduced a little.
"Sigh, what a pity."
Yan Zangtian sighed heavily, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He was not the only one. All the cultivators present had the same expression.
She had just been an inch away from success.
"Still, Yan Huihuang's aptitude and talent are very strong. Although she failed to open the Sage's Heavenly Gate this time, she has the potential to become a Sage. In the future, she still has a chance to become a Sage."
Yin Siming nodded and said.
Such aptitude was considered outstanding even among the imperial races.
"There shouldn't be anyone going up the Path to Heaven anymore," Yin Siming sighed half-intentionally.
Whoosh!
As his voice rang out, Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng immediately turned to look at Lin Wudao with intense anticipation.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao naturally knew what they meant.
"Since no one is going up, I will join in the fun."
After saying that, Lin Wudao took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already on the Path to Heaven.
Hmm? Was there still someone who wanted to challenge the Path to Heaven?
The moment Lin Wudao appeared, countless gazes landed on him. Those eyes were filled with shock and doubt.
With Yan Huihuang's display of her aptitude, if someone whose aptitude and strength were inferior to her went to the Path to Heaven, the final result would only be to humiliate themselves.
They did not expect that someone still dared to challenge the Path to Heaven after Yan Huihuang.
"Who is this?"
"Could it be that he thinks that his aptitude and strength are more outstanding than Yan Huihuang?"
Everyone was bewildered.
Some were gloating, some watched coldly, and some were sneering…
All kinds of human nature were revealed at this moment.
Lin Wudao simply ignored them.
"The rewards will be greater if I can open the Heavenly Gate in the shortest time possible. Looks like I have to use all my strength…"
Whoosh!
Lin Wudao did not hold back at all. He exerted his strength to the extreme and turned into an afterimage as he rushed towards the first Heavenly Gate.
With just one step, he had crossed 3,000 steps.
[Dongfang Bubai, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has crossed 3,000 Dao steps in one step and became the first person in the history of the Great World of Divine Desolation to do so. He has broken through the Eternal Extreme realm of the Great World of Divine Desolation and has been rewarded with a longevity divine medicine.]
Suddenly, a boundless Dao voice resounded throughout the 12 regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation.
At this moment, the world was shocked. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

173 Shockingly Powerful
"Oh my god, crossing 3,000 Dao steps in one step! Is he still human?"
After a while, someone let out an extremely shocked voice.
...
"What? How can there be such a terrifying person in this world? How long has it been since he arrived at the Path to Heaven, and he has already crossed 3,000 steps? He's too heaven-defying!"
"Who exactly is this person?"
"I originally thought that Yan Huihuang was already the number one genius of the vast Great World of Divine Desolation. Who knew that there was actually a more outstanding person hidden?"
…
An earth-shaking uproar broke out in all directions.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Wudao. They were all extremely shocked. They could not believe that there was actually such a person in this world.
Even Yan Huihuang was clenching her fists tightly, her heart in turmoil.
Previously, she had used all her strength and spent a lot of time walking the 3,000 steps. In contrast, Lin Wudao only took one step and reached the finish line, successfully opening the King's Heavenly Gate.
The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
"The Great World of Divine Desolation is indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons."
After a long time, she stared at Lin Wudao's figure and sighed sadly.
Compared to Lin Wudao, she was far inferior.
Similarly, the people from the other major factions were all shocked after seeing Lin Wudao's shocking performance.
"Who is this person? He can actually cross 3,000 Dao steps in one step?"
Yan Zangtian clenched his fists. His eyes stared fixedly at Lin Wudao on the Path to Heaven as if he wanted to see through the latter.
His appearance had broken Yan Huihuang's legend.
At the same time, he had also snatched away her glory.
This made Yan Zangtian feel very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, this person is too mysterious. We can't tell his identity and background. Moreover, according to what we know, there doesn't seem to be anyone with the surname Dongfang in the 12 regions of the entire Great World of Divine Desolation," An official reported.
"Your Majesty, I've heard of something before. It's said that the Dari Demonic Sect in Jiuzhou once invited a person named Dongfang Bubai to help them overcome the Great Tribulation when they were facing it. Could that person be him?"
At this moment, someone looked at Lin Wudao on the Path to Heaven in the distance and said.
Dongfang Bubai? He helped the Dari Demonic Sect survive the Great Tribulation of High Heavens?
Hearing this, Yan Zangtian frowned even more.
"Men, investigate this matter."
"Yes."
In the darkness, someone left the spiritual boat.
…
Above the void, in the bronze palace, Marquis Ling Tian and Liao Rushen, who were sipping tea, were shocked as well when they saw Lin Wudao's shocking performance.
"Liao Rushen, do you know who this Dongfang Bubai is?" Marquis Ling Tian asked anxiously.
At this moment, he looked at Lin Wudao with eyes full of desire.
He had to recruit such an overwhelming prodigy to the True Martial Divine Palace.
He believed that as long as True Martial Divine Palace had Lin Wudao, even if Yan Huihuang was still in the Great World of Divine Desolation, she would not be able to match up to them.
At that time, the True Martial Divine Palace would be able to hold their heads high for once.
The more he thought about it, the more excited Marquis Ling Tian became.
His eyes were fixed on Liao Rushen, waiting for his answer.
However, when Liao Rushen's gaze landed on Lin Wudao, he frowned.
In the end, he sighed and shook his head.
"I don't know either…"
What was that? He didn't know either?
This answer caused Marquis Ling Tian to be extremely displeased.
"Aren't you supposed to be omniscient and have everything under your control? You can't even see through Dongfang Bubai's background? Or are you just unwilling to tell me?"
Marquis Ling Tian snorted.
Hearing this, Liao Rushen glanced at him coldly.
"I really can't see through this person's background. There seems to be something on Dongfang Bubai that has blinded the Divine Secrets and my senses. His cultivation, aptitude, and aptitude bone are all shrouded in fog. Moreover, he has no Divine Secrets," Liao Rushen said with a frown.
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, Dongfang Bubai is not under the jurisdiction of this world. He is either not from the Great World of Divine Desolation, or his identity and background are beyond our understanding. Everything about him is unfathomable."
Was that so?
Hearing this, Marquis Ling Tian seemed to understand.
"But didn't the heavens send down a Dao voice saying that Dongfang Bubai is a living being of the vast Great World of Divine Desolation?"
"Yes. Since that's the case, then it's the second scenario. Dongfang Bubai's identity and background far exceed our imagination."
Liao Rushen's face was solemn.
"Huh? Is there such a terrifying faction in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation?"
Marquis Ling Tian was dumbfounded.
Since ancient times, he had never heard of any ancient existences in the Great World of Divine Desolation.
To be honest, even Liao Rushen wasn't sure.
However, since the heavens had said so, it must be true.
"Do you still want to recruit him into the True Martial Divine Palace?" Liao Rushen teased.
"Why not? Since I've met such an overwhelming prodigy, it must be fate. Whether I succeed or not is one thing, but I have to give it a try. What if I succeed?"
Marquis Ling Tian did not want to give up.
Although he also felt that it was impossible, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Hmph, I feel that you are dreaming."
Liao Rushen didn't think too highly of it.
Marquis Ling Tian remained unmoved. He stared at Lin Wudao as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.
…
Lin Wudao did not care about the shock of all living beings in the Great World of Divine Desolation.
At this moment, his gaze landed on the longevity divine medicine in his hand.
[Name: Longevity Divine Medicine]
[Level: Divine medicine]
[Quality: Highest]
[Description: A leaf can increase one's lifespan by a thousand years.]
…
"This thing is almost comparable to a True Dragon Immortal Medicine," Lin Wudao praised.
The longevity divine medicine before him had a total of nine leaves, which meant it could increase his lifespan by 9,000 years. It was not much different from the True Dragon Immortality Medicine he had obtained previously.
It was worthy of the name of divine medicine!
"As expected, the shorter the time it takes to open the Heavenly Gate, the greater the reward. Just the first King's Heavenly Gate has already rewarded me with a stalk of the longevity divine herb. What peerless divine items or supreme treasures will appear in the next few Heavenly Gates?"
Lin Wudao's eyes shone brightly.
Thinking of this, he crossed the King's Heavenly Gate in one step and arrived below the True God's Heavenly Gate.
Boom!
With the support of the Origin Stone, his Heavenly Dragon Palm landed on the 81 golden heavenly bells.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
The majestic bell chimes swept across the vast Great World of Divine Desolation.
Immediately after, under the shocked gazes of countless people, the 81 ancient golden heavenly bells were shattered by a single palm and turned into nothingness.
[Dongfang Bubai, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has destroyed eighty-one golden heavenly bells with a single palm. His combat strength is awe-inspiring and he has successfully broken through the Great World of Divine Desolation's All Beings Extreme realm. His cultivation will be increased by a major realm.]
The Dao voice spread across the world.
Rumble!
As the voice fell, a dazzling divine light rushed out of the True God's Heavenly Gate and fused into Lin Wudao's body.
In an instant, it transformed into majestic spiritual energy.
Mid-stage of the Innate Sky realm.
Late-stage of the Innate Sky realm.
Peak-stage of the Innate Sky realm.
…
One by one, Lin Wudao's cultivation rose from the Innate Sky realm to the early stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm before the last bit of power of the divine light was exhausted.
"What?"
"He broke through the Eternal Extreme realm again? He's simply not human!"
Everyone was shocked.
At this moment, they could no longer find any words to describe Lin Wudao.
His actions had subverted the understanding of all living beings in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation.
However, what was even more terrifying was yet to come.
Whoosh!
After opening the True God's Heavenly Gate, Lin Wudao also went up to the floating island. His gaze landed on the six heavenly steles.
"System, with my current Fate Energy value, is it enough to learn the Great Emperor realm technique to the elementary stage?"
[Barely.]
Huh? Close to one billion Fate Energy value was only barely enough?
Lin Wudao was stunned.
"Since I'm already here, I have to give it a try no matter what."
Thump!
With that, he chose the sixth heavenly stele, the Great Emperor technique.

174 Great Emperor Technique, Pure Land of the Heavens!
What? He actually chose the Great Emperor technique?
At this moment, everyone present was shocked.
...
The great factions in the Green Heaven Region, including the Emperor of Xia Yan Zangtian, the number one prodigy Yan Huihuang, and even the Sword Sage of the True Martial Divine Palace Marquis Ling Tian were all shocked.
Previously, Yan Huihuang, who was known to have the potential to become a Sage, only dared to choose the True God technique even though she had the talent of "Instant Comprehension".
But now, Dongfang Bubai who had suddenly appeared dared to choose the Great Emperor technique?
"Who exactly is he?"
Everyone was shocked.
Li Heishui, Yin Siming, and the others who were watching below had the same emotions.
"Emissary Dongfang is too strong! In the 12 regions of the entire Great World of Divine Desolation, he is the only one who is so domineering. Compared to him, Yan Huihuang is far too inferior."
Li Heishui said with incomparable reverence.
Hearing this, Yin Siming nodded in agreement.
"He's indeed a monster."
"Sir, how long do you think it will take for Emissary Dongfang to master the Great Emperor technique to the elementary stage?"
At this moment, Li Qingcheng's expectant voice rang out.
"Well, how would I know? Even in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation, only a handful of prodigies dare to choose the Great Emperor technique."
Yin Siming sighed.
After saying that, they stopped talking and fixed their eyes on Lin Wudao, who was standing in front of the Sage's Heavenly Gate.
…
At the same time, when Lin Wudao touched the sixth heavenly stele, the Great Emperor technique inside appeared.
[You have chosen the Great Emperor technique, the Pure Land of the Heavens.]
[Note: The Pure Land of the Heavens is a supreme Great Emperor technique that does not exist in the Great World of Divine Desolation. It is also an Invincible technique.]
[Cultivate it to the elementary stage within half a day and you can open the Sage's Heavenly Gate.]
[In addition, you will also obtain the complete Great Emperor technique: Pure Land of the Heavens.]
A majestic voice came from the sky.
Huh? Great Emperor technique? Invincible technique?
Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators were all confused. With their knowledge and horizons, they did not know the difference between a Great Emperor technique and an Invincible technique.
Even Marquis Ling Tian of the Real Martial Divine Palace was the same.
Only Yin Siming widened his eyes in disbelief.
"To think it's an Invincible technique!"
Shock appeared in his eyes.
Obviously, even he found the Pure Land of the Heavens inconceivable.
"Sir, I know about the Great Emperor techniques, supreme techniques created by the Great Emperors, but what is the Invincible technique? Could it be that the Invincible technique is invincible?" Li Qingcheng asked again.
Yin Siming nodded.
"Indeed. An Invincible technique is also a Great Emperor technique. However, it has unrivaled combat strength. After it is used, it can suppress all Great Emperors in the world. Therefore, it is called an Invincible technique," He explained in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingcheng and Li Heishui nodded in vague understanding.
"Then, is the Invincible technique even harder to cultivate than the ordinary Great Emperor technique?"
"Of course. Since ancient times, many overwhelming prodigies with the potential to become Great Emperors in the Great World of Divine Desolation have wanted to cultivate the Invincible technique and walk the path of invincibility. However, only a handful have succeeded. If an ordinary Great Emperor technique is the Earth, then the Invincible technique is Heaven. The difference between the two is immeasurable."
Yin Siming sighed.
He wondered if Lin Wudao was lucky or unlucky to have chosen an Invincible technique.
…
Lin Wudao, who was on the Path to Heaven, did not care about the shock and confusion of the masses.
At this moment, his mind and attention were fully attracted by the Pure Land of the Heavens.
At the same time, his expression also became a little unsightly.
[Name: Pure Land of the Heavens]
[Level: Great Emperor technique]
[Rarity: Invincible]
[Evaluation: Once you have it, you have nothing else to ask for in this life.]
[Description: 1. The Pure Land of the Heavens is a Great Emperor-level dharma technique that does not exist in the Great World of Divine Desolation. After cultivating it to the elementary stage, one can possess the mighty power that dominates the ages and suppress all who are unconvinced.]
[2. Once the Pure Land of the Heavens is activated, a magical pure land will appear. The cultivation of all living beings in the pure land will be mercilessly suppressed.]
[3. Cultivating the technique to the elementary stage will allow one to suppress the cultivation of those below the True God Realm by a major realm.]
[4. Cultivating the technique to the small success stage will allow one to suppress the cultivation of those below the Divine King Realm by a major realm.]
[5. Cultivating the technique to the major accomplishment stage will allow one to suppress the cultivation of those below the Sage realm by a major realm.]
…
[8. Cultivating the technique to the Extreme Dao stage will allow one to suppress the cultivation of those below the Heavenly God Realm by a major realm.]
[Remark 1: The Pure Land of the Heavens is a Great Emperor-level dharma technique. It is only effective on beings in the Great Emperor realm or below. It is ineffective against creatures above the Great Emperor realm.]
[Remark 2: Consume Fate Energy value to upgrade the level of the Pure Land of the Heavens.]
…
God's Spiritual Eye scanned the technique and a lot of information appeared.
After reading it, Lin Wudao was also deeply shocked.
"As expected of an Invincible technique, it is indeed powerful. The level of a Great Emperor is already at the peak of the world. The difference between a minor realm will be an insurmountable gap. If a Great Emperor is suppressed by the pure land by a major realm, no matter how powerful the other party is, they will die. In fact, I can even forcefully lower the cultivation of the Great Emperors and make them become Quasi-Emperors. If I want to learn this technique, I should need quite a lot of Fate Energy value."
At this moment, Lin Wudao couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After reading the introduction of the Pure Land of the Heavens, he guessed that the Fate Energy value he had left was probably not enough.
"System, how much Fate Energy value do I need to cultivate the Pure Land of the Heavens to the elementary stage?"
After a long silence, he asked carefully.
[The Pure Land of the Heavens is an Invincible technique among the Great Emperor techniques. It requires 10 billion Fate Energy value to cultivate to the elementary stage.]
What was that? Ten billion?
Hearing this number, Lin Wudao was shocked.
He glanced at the system panel.
[Fate Energy value: 954,164,000]
He only had 950 million left. The gap was huge.
"System, is this what you mean by barely?"
[It is indeed barely enough for the most ordinary Great Emperor technique, but not for the Invincible technique.]
At this moment, Lin Wudao's expression was a little ugly.
"If I sacrifice that longevity divine medicine, how much Fate Energy value can I obtain?"
[Nine billion.]
So much?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
But then he understood.
The longevity divine medicine could, after all, increase one's lifespan by 9,000 years. It was not much different from the True Dragon Immortal Medicine. Its value was definitely extraordinary.
Nine billion was still not enough though.
"One longevity divine medicine is worth nine billion. Adding on my original 950 million, I'm still short of 40 million…"
Lin Wudao frowned.
His gaze could not help but fall on his inventory. He was prepared to sacrifice the valuable things he had and exchange them for Fate Energy value.
Suddenly, something caught his attention.
The Sphere Heaven Prison.
It was said that this was a treasure left behind from ancient times. No matter what, it should be worth tens of millions, right?
"System, if I sacrifice the Sphere Sphere Heaven Prison, how much Fate Energy value can I obtain?"
[50 million.]
"Sigh, sacrifice it…"
To cultivate the Pure Land of Heavens to the elementary stage and open the Sage's Gate, Lin Wudao had no choice but to sacrifice all his most valuable treasures other than the heaven burial copper coffin and the Origin Stone.
[Congratulations, you have sacrificed a longevity divine medicine and obtained 9 billion Fate Energy value.]
[Congratulations, you have sacrificed a Sphere Heaven Prison and obtained 50 million Fate Energy value.]
[Congratulations, you have consumed 10 billion Fate Energy value and successfully learned the dharma technique, the Pure Land of the Heavens, to the elementary stage. You can forcefully suppress living beings below the True God realm.]
…
A series of notifications sounded in his mind.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As soon as the voice finished speaking, many insights regarding the Pure Land of the Heavens instantly surged into Lin Wudao's mind like a great river.
In just ten breaths, he had reached the elementary stage.
"Pure Land of the Heavens!"
Thump!
Accompanied by a low voice, Lin Wudao's eyes flew open as he raised his hand to hit the Sage's Heavenly Gate.
Rumble!
An instant later, under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the Sage's Heavenly Gate was blasted open with a palm.
[Dongfang Bubai, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has successfully learned the Invincible technique, the Pure Land of the Heavens, to the elementary stage. He has broken through the Great World of Divine Desolation's Eternal Extreme realm. He can be said to be the first person in history.]
[Heaven's reward, a Power Stone.]
A majestic Dao voice swept across the entire Divine Continent.

175 The Number One Person in the Ancient Era!
What?
The moment the Dao voice sounded, all living beings in the Divine Continent were in an uproar.
...
Monstrous waves were set off in the hearts of all of them.
"Who is Dongfang Bubai? He has actually opened the Sage's Heavenly Gate and broken through the Great World of Divine Desolation's Eternal Extreme realm? Who exactly is this person?"
Everyone was shocked.
At this moment, the name Dongfang Bubai was well-known by billions of living beings in the Divine Continent.
"In just ten breaths of time, he has already mastered the Invincibility technique to the elementary stage? Where did this monster come from?"
"Oh my God, this… Is he still human?"
"What can you do in ten breaths? I'd take more than ten breaths to even take a glance at the Invincible technique. How did Dongfang Bubai do it?"
"How many years has it been? The Divine Continent has finally given birth to another true prodigy. The heavens have blessed the Divine Continent, hahaha!"
"God bless the Divine Continent!"
…
Countless powerhouses and living beings let out earth-shattering cheers.
At this moment, because of Dongfang Bubai's existence, all the living beings in the Divine Continent felt unprecedented glory and pride.
The Great World of Divine Desolation belonged to the Divine Continent.
Since Dongfang Bubai came from the Great World of Divine Desolation, he was the pride of the Divine Continent.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
…
As Dongfang Bubai cultivated the Invincible technique and broke through the Great World of Divine Desolation's Eternal Extreme realm, countless powerful existences and factions rushed to the Green Heaven Region as quickly as possible.
Lin Wudao ignored the shock and uproar in the outside world.
At this moment, his attention was drawn to the Power Stone.
[Name: Power Stone]
[Level: Innate divine item]
[Rarity: Imperial grade]
[Description: After fusing it into your body, your strength will never be exhausted under the Great Emperor realm.]
…
Information about the Power Stone entered his eyes.
After reading it, Lin Wudao's eyes immediately emitted a dazzling divine light.
"A treasure!"
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He had not sacrificed the longevity divine medicine and the Sphere Heaven Prison in vain and spent 10 billion Fate Energy value to open the Sage's Heavenly Gate in vain. The reward was really amazing.
With the Power Stone, he would no longer have to worry about running out of spiritual energy.
This was even more significant than obtaining a Great Emperor technique!
[Do you want to fuse the Power Stone into your body?]
"Yes."
Lin Wudao chose yes without hesitation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
…
After the Power Stone fused with his body, it floated above his elixir field. Immediately after, a vast and endless power surged out like an ancient river and swept around his body.
In an instant, Lin Wudao felt that his entire body was filled with boundless power that seemingly could not be exhausted.
"This can be considered to have made up for one of my shortcomings. From now on, I no longer need to worry about not having enough power…"
His eyes shone brightly.
After saying that, Lin Wudao carefully sensed the power of the Power Stone before looking at the fourth Heavenly Gate.
Next, it was time to test his luck.
[Fate Energy value: 4,164,000]
"I only have over four million Fate Energy value left. I wonder if it will be enough."
Lin Wudao walked toward the Great Sage's Heavenly Gate with a perturbed heart.
Whoosh!
In an instant, everyone's gazes gathered on him again.
His every move attracted their mind.
Whoosh!
When Lin Wudao crossed the Sage's Heavenly Gate and arrived before the Great Sage's Heavenly Gate, a beam of dazzling divine light suddenly burst out and enveloped him.
[With Fate Energy as vast as the sea of stars and the tide of the universe, he is born with great fate.]
[Passed.]
[Dongfang Bubai, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has boundless Fate Energy. No prodigy in the Great World of Divine Desolation can compare to him. He is rewarded with three Heavenly Dao Divine Talismans.]
The loud voice sounded again.
Thump!
As the voice fell, the Great Sage's Heavenly Gate opened with a bang. Immediately after, three dazzling streams of light flew out and turned into three ancient divine talismans that floated in front of Lin Wudao.
[Name: Heavenly Dao Divine Talisman]
[Level: Emperor grade]
[Description: A divine item that has been fused with the power of the Heavenly Dao. Using a Heavenly Dao Divine Talisman can strengthen an item at the Great Emperor level or below by 10,000 times.]
[Remark: Each Heavenly Dao Divine Talisman can only be used once.]
…
The Heavenly Dao Divine Talisman's function was to strengthen? Furthermore, it could strengthen the item ten thousand times?
Lin Wudao was very surprised by the feedback from God's Spiritual Eye.
At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised.
This was a treasure! Once he used it well, it would definitely bring him great benefits.
Lin Wudao was extremely satisfied with the rewards from the Great Sage's Heavenly Gate.
"The next Heavenly Gate should bring me the Sky-mending Divine Water that Li Heishui mentioned," He thought to himself.
Li Heishui had the accompanying supreme treasure, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, which allowed him to see a fragment of the future. He must have seen the reward of the Great Emperor's Heaven's Gate, which was why he asked Lin Wudao to help him obtain the Sky-mending Divine Water.
"It is definitely no ordinary divine object since it is named "Sky-mending"…"
After saying that, Lin Wudao did not hesitate and immediately walked toward the last Heavenly Gate.
This stage tested the cultivator's destiny.
With the system's guarantee, Lin Wudao naturally did not have any psychological burden.
Whoosh!
A beam of Heavenly Dao divine light swept past, and the fifth Heavenly Gate of the Path to Heaven was ultimately opened by Lin Wudao.
He had reached the end of the Path to Heaven!
[Dongfang Bubai, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has successfully opened the Great Emperor's Heavenly Gate. He is rewarded with the Heavenly Dao divine item, Sky-mending Divine Water.]
Whoosh!
A palm-sized jade bottle flew out from behind the Great Emperor's Heavenly Gate and landed in front of Lin Wudao.
[Name: Sky-mending Divine Water]
[Level: Divine Item]
[Rarity: Heavenly Dao level]
[Description: 1. A supreme divine item evolved from the origin power of the Heavenly Dao. It can repair all items below the True Celestial realm.]
[2. When used on living beings, it can cleanse the body with the power of the Heavenly Dao and greatly increase one's aptitude and aptitude bone. After using it, an acquired constitution will transform into an innate constitution.]
[3. Be incomparably compatible with the Dao and forge a supreme Dao body.]
…
So that was how it was!
Looking at the feedback from God's Spiritual Eye, Lin Wudao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This was indeed a supreme divine item that could only be encountered by luck.
Whether it was used on items or for living beings in the human world, it had a heaven-defying effect.
"With it, my aptitude and aptitude bone can also be improved. At that time, I will also become an overwhelming prodigy," Lin Wudao thought happily.
Then, he immediately stored the Heaven-mending Divine Water in the system space.
[Dongfang Bubai, a living being of the Great World of Divine Desolation, has opened the five Heavenly Gates with supreme talent and successfully walked to the end of the Path to Heaven. He can be said to be the number one prodigy in the Great World of Divine Desolation.]
[In view of his supreme talent, the heavens will bless him.]
[From today onwards, all evil below the Great Emperor Realm cannot harm him.]
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a loud Dao voice, a mysterious Heavenly Dao divine light suddenly descended and enveloped Lin Wudao.
In an instant, Lin Wudao felt that there was a mysterious substance in his body that had fused with his Disaster-Avoiding Golden Body.
"System, what curses and evil substances can I resist now?"
[Below the Great Emperor realm.]
Hmm, not bad.
Lin Wudao was quite satisfied with this result.
Rumble!
Just as he was sighing with emotion, along with the descent of the supreme will of the Heavenly Dao, the Path to Heaven under his feet began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the world.
However, everyone's eyes were still fixed on Lin Wudao. Their eyes were filled with unprecedented respect and shock.
His performance just now had shaken the entire world.
No one objected to him being the number one prodigy of the Great World of Divine Desolation.
At this moment, Lin Wudao was the center of attention.
Although he felt a sense of accomplishment, he did not care too much about it.
After the Path to Heaven collapsed, he was ready to leave. Then, he would find an opportunity to give half of the Heaven-mending Divine Water to Li Heishui and complete the deal between them.
"Dongfang, please wait a minute."
Suddenly, a powerful voice came from the sky.
Hmm?
Curious, Lin Wudao immediately looked over.
Then, he saw an ancient and majestic bronze palace suddenly appear from the clouds. A middle-aged man with a domineering aura and soaring sword intent strode out.
It was the Sword Sage of the True Martial Divine Palace, Marquis Ling Tian.

176 True Martial Divine Palace, Our Fortune!
True Martial Divine Palace, Marquis Ling Tian?
Although Lin Wudao was a little surprised to see this important figure finally appear, he already understood his intentions.
...
"May I know why you are here?"
Never be rude to another who was polite.
Lin Wudao did not sense any malice from Marquis Ling Tian, so he decided to listen to what the other party had to say.
"Umm… Dongfang, I am the Sword Sage of the True Martial Divine Palace, and my name is Marquis Ling Tian. It is truly my honor to witness your peerless talent today. I came here to ask if you are willing to cultivate in the True Martial Divine Palace," Marquis Ling Tian rubbed his hands and said in embarrassment.
Hmm? Was he inviting Dongfang Bubai to cultivate at the True Martial Divine Palace?
As Marquis Ling Tian's voice rang out, the surrounding spectators revealed extremely astonished expressions.
It was apparent that none of them had expected someone from the True Martial Divine Palace to appear at this moment.
Moreover, the other party was the revered Sword Sage!
"This is a patriarch-like figure of the True Martial Divine Palace…" A major faction in the Green Heaven Region said respectfully.
At the same time, they looked at Lin Wudao with yearning.
Dongfang Bubai was the first person in the Great World of Divine Desolation to be invited by the Sword Sage of True Martial Divine Palace in such a humble manner.
This was a display of his strength, and they were envious.
"Dongfang, I know that with your unparalleled talent, you will definitely not be interested in a mere True Martial Divine Palace. At the same time, our True Martial Divine Palace cannot bind a true dragon like you either. I don't have any other requests. I just want to invite you to the True Martial Divine Palace to cultivate. Even if it's only for some time, that's fine. If you're willing to go to the True Martial Divine Palace, you can take whatever resources you want. The entire True Martial Divine Palace will be willing to serve you. Furthermore, you can leave or stay as you wish. What do you think, Dongfang?"
Marquis Ling Tian spoke with boundless sincerity. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao couldn't help but look at Marquis Ling Tian in a higher light.
This old thing was indeed smart.
And, such generous conditions were indeed beneficial to him.
After all, the True Martial Divine Palace was also a top faction in the vast Great World of Divine Desolation. The resources they had were unimaginable.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if he was a titular disciple there.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao pretended to ponder for a moment. Then, only did he nod.
"Since you are sincerely inviting me, I will go and take a look. However, I still have many things to do at the moment and don't have much free time. When I have time, I'll go to the True Martial Divine Palace to cultivate," He said calmly.
Hearing this, Marquis Ling Tian was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed. The surprise came too suddenly and he could not react at all.
"Good! Since you have taken a fancy to the True Martial Divine Palace, we will definitely clean up the place and wait for you. Hahaha!"
At this moment, a brilliant smile blossomed on Marquis Ling Tian's dignified face. His heart was filled with endless joy.
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took out an ancient purple token and handed it to Lin Wudao with both hands.
"This is my identity token. If you want to come to the True Martial Divine Palace in the future, just pour your spiritual energy into it. At that time, we will definitely come to welcome you. In addition, this token can also be used for communication. If you have any problems, please feel free to tell me."
"Alright."
Lin Wudao nodded and accepted the token.
After saying that, he took a step forward and his figure instantly disappeared.
Even after he left, everyone was still immersed in endless reverence and yearning.
"Congratulations. It is really unexpected that you, old fellow, have succeeded."
Suddenly, Liao Rushen appeared beside Marquis Ling Tian, and a rare hint of envy could be seen in his eyes.
He did not expect that Marquis Ling Tian would actually dare to invite Dongfang Bubai.
And Dongfang Bubai agreed.
"Hahaha, I knew it. We have to try everything. What if we succeed? This time, it's time for the True Martial Divine Palace to shine. With Dongfang Bubai around, our True Martial Divine Palace will not decline for at least ten thousand years. Hahaha!"
Marquis Ling Tian roared with laughter. His words were filled with endless excitement and joy.
Liao Rushen did not refute. Instead, he nodded in agreement.
With Lin Wudao's peerless talent, he had a high chance of proving his Dao and becoming a Great Emperor.
Once he became a Great Emperor, the True Martial Divine Palace where he had once cultivated would become a colossus with a Great Emperor's orthodoxy.
At that time, the True Divine Palace's name would shake the Great World of Divine Desolation and be glorious for all eternity.
Ten thousand years of glory was still too little.
Even if Dongfang Bubai couldn't become a Great Emperor, he would definitely become a powerful Quasi-Emperor in the future. At that time, the True Martial Divine Palace would also be extremely glorious.
In short, the benefits of this invitation were immeasurable to the True Martial Divine Palace.
Even Liao Rushen yearned for it.
"From today onwards, the fate of True Martial Divine Palace has changed drastically," He sighed inwardly.
At this moment, he could see that Marquis Ling Tian's fate and destiny were rapidly changing. It was obvious that he had been affected by Lin Wudao.
"Let's go. I'll treat you to a drink when we get back. This time, the True Martial Divine Palace must celebrate for ten days and ten nights! Hahaha!" Marquis Ling Tian said excitedly.
After saying that, he pulled Rushen into the bronze palace which then turned into a dazzling stream of light. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the Heishui Ancient City.
Looking at the direction they left in, the people present were both yearning and sighing.
"True Martial Divine Palace is going to soar into the sky."
"The number one prodigy of the vast Great World of Divine Desolation has changed!"
"From now on, it will be the era of Dongfang Bubai. I dare say that he will definitely become a Great Emperor in the future. His life will be extremely glorious!"
" I really envy True Martial Divine Palace. Their fate is too good. "
…
The discussions continued.
Thump!
Just as they were making a ruckus, an ancient and majestic bell suddenly sounded.
Looking over, it was an ancient spiritual boat.
The Barbarian race?
Everyone frowned. Their eyes were filled with confusion as they wondered what the barbarians were up to.
Boom!
Just as they were bewildered, they saw a tall man emitting a wild aura who was as muscular as a tyrannosaurus walk out in large strides.
"Half a month later, the Barbarian race will open the Taicang Ancestral Land from eighty thousand years ago. At that time, all geniuses and powerhouses are welcome to explore together. Life and death, fortune and disaster are up to the heavens."
His loud and clear voice swept through the surroundings.
Hmm? Taicang Ancestral Land?
Hearing this news, everyone revealed a bewildered expression.
"The Taicang Ancestral Land of the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Isn't that the ruins of the former Taicang Ancient Kingdom from eighty thousand years ago? The Barbarian race is going to open it again?"
"It is rumored that there are many opportunities and fortunes left behind in the Taicang Ancestral Land."
"Strange, why did the Barbarian race announce the existence and opening of the Taicang Ancestral Land? Isn't it good to make a fortune in silence?"
"Is there something fishy going on?"
…
Many people were suspicious.
They did not understand the meaning behind the Barbarian race's actions.
Regarding this, the barbarians did not explain anything.
After announcing the news of the Taicang Ancestral Land, they steered the spiritual boat and transformed into a stream of light as they left the Heishui Ancient City.
Seeing this, some people left, while others chose to stay. Among them, there was no lack of disciples and disciples from many large factions in the Green Heaven Region.
"Let's go back."
At this moment, Lin Wudao returned the consciousness of his original body to his doppelganger.
Thus, he "woke up" from his cultivation.
Immediately, he left with everyone.
The moment he returned to the Myth Inn, Lin Wudao began to take stock of his gains and make preparations for the Taicang Ancestral Land.

177 Heavenly Dao Supreme Body!
This time, he had gained a huge harvest from the Path to Heaven.
Ever since Lin Wudao embarked on the path of cultivation, this was the time he obtained the most treasures and benefits other than the time he went to collect the corpse of Emperor Jiang Taichu in the Divine Ruins.
...
Longevity divine medicine, Power Stone, Heavenly Dao Divine Talisman, Sky-mending Divine Water…
Any one of them was enough to drive the people of the Great World of Divine Desolation crazy with yearning.
Whoosh!
After pondering for a while, Lin Wudao took out the bottle of Sky-mending Divine Water.
"System, how do I use the Sky-mending Divine Water?"
[Just swallow it directly.]
Was it that simple?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
"If I consume half a bottle of Sky-mending Divine Water, what level will my aptitude and aptitude bone improve to? Can I establish an innate Dao body in one go?"
[Yes. Half of the Sky-mending Divine Water will allow the host to have the potential to become a Great Emperor and at the same time establish the Heavenly Dao Supreme Body.]
Heavenly Dao Supreme Body?
Hearing this name, Lin Wudao's spirits were lifted.
Although he didn't know what was so amazing about the Heavenly Dao Supreme Body, he knew that it was extraordinary just by looking at its domineering name.
"How long will it take to forge the Heavenly Dao Supreme Body?"
[At least ten years.]
Huh?
In an instant, Lin Wudao's expression turned ugly.
[Consuming Fate Energy value can greatly shorten the time of fusion.]
At this moment, the system notification sounded again.
"I knew this would happen."
Lin Wudao sighed helplessly.
"Tell me, how much Fate Energy value will I need?"
[Fusing all of the Sky-mending Divine Water and forging the complete Heavenly Dao Supreme Body requires a total of 10 billion Fate Energy value. However, considering the host's current situation, the level-up can be done in stages.]
[10,000,000 Fate Energy value can be used to forge the level one Heavenly Dao Supreme Body.]
Sigh…
Hearing this, Lin Wudao fell silent.
"Just fusing with the Sky-mending Divine Water requires 10 billion Fate Energy value. From this, it can be seen that this Heavenly Dao Supreme Body must be extremely extraordinary," He thought to himself.
Then, he immediately looked at the system interface.
[Fate Energy value: 4,164,000]
He was still more than halfway from ten million.
He had no choice but to rely on the Li family's resources.
"Li Zangtian, bring me half of the Li family's resources immediately."
"Yes, sir."
Li Zangtian responded and strode away.
He was very efficient.
Not long after, he appeared in front of Lin Wudao with a spirit ring in his hand.
Lin Wudao did not hesitate and immediately sacrificed all the resources in the ring.
[Ding!]
[You have sacrificed many resources and obtained a total of 6,000,000 Fate Energy value.]
[Congratulations, host. You have consumed 10,000,000 Fate Energy value and successfully fused with one-tenth of the Sky-mending Divine Water. You have forged the level one Heavenly Dao Supreme Body.]
[Congratulations, host. Your potential has improved. You now have the potential to become a True God.]
…
A series of notifications rang out.
Soon after, the latest information about Lin Wudao was presented.
[Name: Lin Wudao]
[Identity: City of Sin's City Lord]
[Cultivation: Early stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm]
[Aptitude: Excellent]
[Talent: God's Spiritual Eye]
[Constitution: Heavenly Dao Supreme Body (level 1)]
[Cultivation Technique: Emperor's Scripture of the Primordial Imperial Race, Disaster-Avoiding Ancient Scripture (mortal scroll)]
[Skills: Pure Land of the Heavens (elementary), Heavenly Dragon Palm (small success), Heaven-Stabilizing Spell (major accomplishment), Spirit-capturing Technique (major accomplishment), Great Soul-searching Technique (major accomplishment)]
…
[Items: Heaven burial copper coffin, Origin Stone, corpse map, Great Desolation Cauldron, Sky-shaking Bell, Grand Nirvana Sword Talisman, Taiyi Water-splitting Pearl, Power Stone, Heavenly Dao Divine Talisman, Curse: Prodigy Seal]
[Lifespan: 21,896]
[Fate Energy value: 164,000]
[Remark: You have fused with one-tenth of the Sky-mending Divine Water and successfully forged the level one Heavenly Dao Supreme Body. The secret techniques and divine powers you unleash will be ten times stronger.]
…
Hmm? The Heavenly Dao Supreme Body actually had such an effect?
Looking at the information on the interface, Lin Wudao was very surprised.
He did not expect that the Heavenly Dao Supreme Body would increase the power of secret techniques and divine powers.
"Ten times stronger? This doesn't look too bad."
He carefully sensed his body. Although he did not find anything vastly different, when he used the Heavenly Dragon Great Palm and other skills, he could clearly feel that the power was much stronger than before.
This was an increase in combat strength.
Lin Wudao was quite satisfied with this result.
"The 10 million Fate Energy value was worth it."
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Next, it's time to send the remaining half of the Sky-mending Divine Water to Li Heishui. After that, we can head to the Myriad Great Mountain Range after making some preparations."
Lin Wudao already had a clear plan for his next move.
Buzz!
Just as he was deep in thought, the system space suddenly vibrated. He focused his gaze and saw that it was the invitation letter from the Mad Daoist.
"What is this old thing up to now?"
Out of curiosity, he opened the invitation letter.
In an instant, words appeared one by one on the paper.
[Brother Ren, Qin Daofu and I have already arrived at Panlong Ancient City. We will wait for you here. Qin Daofu has accepted a big client. You should hurry over and take a look.]
[There's something good.]
Hmm? They actually went to Panlong Ancient City? Moreover, Qin Daofu had accepted a big client?
Looking at the contents of the invitation letter, Lin Wudao's curiosity was piqued.
He, the Mad Daoist, and Qin Daofu specialized in dealing with the dead. Qin Daofu's "big client" was definitely related to the dead.
Since there were dead people, there would be corpses.
Furthermore, from the Mad Daoist's words, it seemed that it was no ordinary corpse.
"Panlong Ancient City. That seems to be the location of the Panlong family. Could it be that the so-called big client this time is related to the Zhao family?" Lin Wudao guessed.
Although he couldn't be sure, it was very likely.
"If it is really the Panlong family, I can indeed do something…"
The Heishui family had given them a lot of benefits.
The Panlong family was more powerful than the Li family, so they could definitely provide more benefits.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao immediately decided to go and take a look at the Panlong Ancient City. Besides, the Panlong Ancient City was right beside the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
After going there, he could head directly to the Taicang Ancestral Land of the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
"Is Li Heishui in the Myth Inn?"
"Master, he went back first. Should I call him over?"
"No need."
Lin Wudao shook his head.
After that, he concentrated on cultivating for an hour. Then, he put on the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of the Heavens before transforming into Dongfang Bubai and going to Li Heishui's courtyard.
When Lin Wudao arrived, Li Heishui was already waiting anxiously. His eyes were filled with intense anticipation, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable hesitation and uneasiness.
"Emissary Dongfang, you're here?"
When he saw Lin Wudao, Li Heishui immediately revealed an extremely surprised expression. The huge stone hanging in his heart was finally put down.
"This is the Sky-mending Divine Water you wanted. I've already taken half of it. From today onwards, the deal between us is completed."
"Thank you, Emissary Dongfang!"
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Under his endless excitement, Li Heishui kowtowed heavily.
Lin Wudao didn't bother. He just nodded and left.
After he left, Li Qingcheng, who had heard the commotion, also walked out.
"Big brother, that was… Emissary Dongfang?" She asked in surprise.
"Yes. Qingcheng, do you still remember what I told you before that I obtained a great opportunity for you? Now, it's here!"
Li Heishui handed the Sky-mending Divine Water to Li Qingcheng.
"Big brother, this is?"
"Sky-mending Divine Water."
What? Sky-mending Divine Water?
Hearing this, Li Qingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
She knew that the Sky-mending Divine Water was the supreme reward that Dongfang Bubai obtained when he opened the Great Emperor's Heavenly Gate.
How could such a supreme divine item be in the hands of Li Heishui?
"Big brother, the opportunity you mentioned before is the Sky-mending Divine Water?"
"Indeed. I used the corpse of a Demigod and a Sage's Shroud as the price to invite Emissary Dongfang to help me reach the end of the Path to Heaven and obtain the Sky-mending Divine Water. With it, Qingcheng, your aptitude and aptitude bone will be able to undergo a fundamental reversal, becoming innate instead of acquired. At that time, even if you don't have the potential to become a Great Emperor, you will at least have the potential to become a Quasi-Emperor."
"Ever since our parents passed away, my greatest wish was to take revenge on the Li family and to let you live a better life and have a bright future. Now, I've finally fulfilled both of my wishes. All of this is thanks to Emissary Dongfang. He is the greatest benefactor in our lives."
Li Heishui said sincerely.
Hearing this, Li Qingcheng's heart trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Big brother, you…"
"Hehe, today is the biggest happy occasion of our lives. Why are you crying? Come, put away the Sky-mending Divine Water and find a suitable time to drink it."
"Big brother, I don't want this. You need it more than I do."
"Take it. This can also be considered to have relieved me of one of my worries," Li Heishui said dotingly.
"Alright."
Finally, under his persuasion, Li Qingcheng finally put the Sky-mending Divine Water into her spirit ring.
Immediately after, Li Heishui brought her to the Myth Inn.

178 The Unfilial Son of the Panlong Family!
"Greetings, City Lord."
Arriving in front of Lin Wudao, Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng bowed.
...
"Alright, no need for formalities. The main reason why I summoned you here is to tell you that I will be making a trip to the Panlong Ancient City, and then the Taicang Ancestral Land in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Li Heishui, are you going to follow me or stay in the Heishui Ancient City?"
What? Were they going to the Panlong Ancient City?
Hearing this, Li Heishui could not help but be stunned.
However, he didn't hesitate much.
"I'd like to go outside with the City Lord to broaden my horizons…"
He rubbed his hands and laughed.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer. Perhaps you'll change your mind later."
As he spoke, under Li Heishui's puzzled expression, Lin Wudao flipped his hand and took out a piece of white paper. A picture of an ancient token was printed on it.
"City Lord, this is…"
Looking at the white paper handed to him and the mysterious pattern on it, Li Heishui had a puzzled expression. He couldn't understand why Lin Wudao gave him this.
Lin Wudao smiled mysteriously.
"The picture on it is the identity token of the True Martial Divine Palace's Sword Sage, Marquis Ling Tian. It is also the token that Marquis Ling Tian gave to Dongfang Bubai at the end of the Path to Heaven. I heard that Brother Dongfang obtained the Sky-mending Divine Water for your sister. That's a supreme divine item that can improve one's aptitude and make one's body return to its innate state. With the help of the Sky-mending Divine Water, Li Qingcheng will definitely become a peerless talent in the future."
"Since that's the case, it's a pity that if she stays in the True Dragon Academy. To give her a wider stage and a better cultivation environment, I specially copied the token of Sword Sage Marquis Ling Tian from Dongfang Bubai. With Dongfang Bubai's recommendation, I believe Li Qingcheng will most certainly be able to enter the True Martial Divine Palace. At the very least, she will be a successive disciple. In this way, you will be free from worries and can work for me in peace," Lin Wudao said calmly.
What was that? Li Qingcheng was to go to the True Martial Divine Palace to cultivate?
The surprise came too suddenly.
Hearing this, both Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng widened their eyes.
Thump!
When he regained his senses, Li Heishui hurriedly pulled Li Qingcheng and knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowing respectfully to Lin Wudao.
His face was filled with endless surprise and gratitude.
"Thank you, City Lord. The City Lord is our great benefactor. Even dying ten thousand deaths will be hard to repay you!"
Thump, thump, thump!
Excited, Li Heishui kowtowed crazily.
Lin Wudao was really too good to him.
The True Martial Divine Palace was a top faction in the Great World of Divine Desolation that had been passed down for more than 10,000 years. Whether it was in terms of power or foundation, it was far from what the True Dragon Academy could compare to.
If Li Qingcheng could cultivate in the True Martial Divine Palace, it would be a great blessing for her.
This great kindness made Li Heishui shed tears of gratitude.
Similarly, Li Qingcheng was also overwhelmed with emotions. Until now, she was still immersed in the huge shock brought by Lin Wudao.
"Li Qingcheng, are you willing to go to the True Martial Divine Palace?"
"I…"
"Qingcheng, what are you still hesitating for? This is a great fortune that trillions of geniuses can't even dream of! Hurry up and agree to it," Li Heishui urged anxiously.
Hearing this, Li Qingcheng nodded.
"I'm willing. But City Lord, if I go to the True Martial Divine Palace, then the True Dragon Academy…"
"Don't worry. The True Martial Divine Palace will handle this matter, and the True Dragon Academy won't dare to stop you. Moreover, if you go to the True Martial Divine Palace to cultivate, it will be an honor for the True Dragon Academy. They can't be happier," Lin Wudao smiled faintly.
As he spoke, the piece of white paper fell into Li Qingcheng's hand with a flick of his finger.
"In the next few days, wait patiently in Heishui Ancient City. In less than seven days, people from True Martial Divine Palace will come to welcome you. You don't have to worry about being bullied there. No one would have the guts to do that since you are under the name Dongfang Bubai. Not only that, the True Martial Divine Palace will do its best to nurture you. Perhaps, it won't be long before you become the face of the True Martial Divine Palace and become even more outstanding than Yan Huihuang."
At this point, Lin Wudao took out a stack of God-summoning Paper and handed it to Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng.
"This is the God-summoning Paper. With this, you can connect and communicate with each other from hundreds of millions of miles away. Li Heishui, you should stay in the Heishui Ancient City for the next few days. When your sister goes to the True Martial Divine Palace, you can come and find me."
"Yes, sir," Li Heishui replied respectfully. In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Lin Wudao.
Lin Wudao smiled when he saw the change in the other party's expression.
This move of buying people's hearts was quite effective. From now on, Li Heishui would definitely be loyal to him.
This way, he would have a new capable helper.
"By the way, Dongfang Bubai has also told me about your cultivation technique. I will help you resolve the dharma techniques after the first volume of the Ancient Fate Energy Scripture). After returning to the City of Sin from the Taicang Ancestral Land, it should be done."
The Ancient Fate Energy Scripture)?
Hearing this, Li Heishui was touched again.
At this moment, he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Lin Wudao. He could only nod and remember this kindness forever.
…
"City Lord, the Panlong family requests an audience."
Suddenly, Yin Siming came to the courtyard and reported.
The Panlong Family? What were they doing here?
Lin Wudao was confused.
He did not have much interaction with the Panlong family.
Rather, he had previously killed a Heavenly Cycle realm patriarch of the Panlong family, Zhao Panlong. Could it be that the other party was here for revenge?
"City Lord, the Panlong family is here to send gifts."
Gifts?
Lin Wudao was even more surprised.
"The person who came this time is the Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family, Zhao Zichen. According to him, what Zhao Panlong did in the Li family previously was not the original intention of the Panlong family. In view of Zhao Panlong's boldness, they specially sent the Seventh Young Master, Zhao Zichen, to apologize," Yin Siming said with a smile.
Interesting.
Lin Wudao smiled.
"Let him in."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Yin Siming walked in with a handsome and extraordinary young man in embroidered clothes.
This person was the Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family, Zhao Zichen.
Hmm?
When Lin Wudao saw Zhao Zichen, a famous saying suddenly appeared in his mind: The young master was like jade, unparalleled in the world.
This sentence was very suitable for Zhao Zichen.
However, compared to the first impression which was quite good, when Lin Wudao's God's Spiritual Eye landed on Zhao Zichen, the admiration in his eyes instantly disappeared.
What replaced it was astonishment.
This was because the Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
[Name: Zhao Zichen]
[Identity: Seventh Young Master of the Panlong Family]
[Cultivation: Early stage of the Heavenly Cycle Realm]
[Aptitude: Outstanding]
[Cultivation Techniques: Panlong Scripture, Heavenly Sin Technique]
[Skills: Mountain River Ancient Fist, Heaven-plucking Hand, Heaven End Sword Art, secret skill – Great Shapeshifting Technique, secret technique – Great Teleportation Technique, Sinful Hand]
[Item: Scroll of Sin, Xuanming Ancient Sword]
[Lifespan: 886]
[Remark: 1. Sinful and heartless.]
[2. As he cultivates the Heavenly Sin Technique, the more sins he commits, the faster his cultivation rises.]
[3. A beast with a human face is nothing more than this.]
…
A lot of information was presented.
After reading it, even Lin Wudao found it unbelievable. The contrast between Zhao Zichen's actions and his appearance was too great.
At this moment, he thought of another sentence when looking at Zhao Zichen: All is not gold that glitters.

179 Extreme Dao Spiritual Weapon, Sword of Destruction!
"May I know why Young Master Zhao has come to look for me?"
Although he was a little surprised by Zhao Zichen's two-faced behavior, Lin Wudao was not a busybody. As long as it did not involve his interests, he would not care.
...
Even if Zhao Zichen committed all kinds of sins, it had nothing to do with him.
Zhao Zichen naturally did not know what Lin Wudao was thinking.
At this moment, he first sized up Lin Wudao secretly. Then, he revealed a smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze. He was polite and refined.
Anyone who saw him would've praised him for being an elegant young master.
"City Lord, I've come to disturb you today to apologize for what happened in the Li family earlier."
"Apologize?" Lin Wudao smiled faintly.
"Yes. Previously, one of the patriarchs of the Panlong Family wanted to take advantage of the Li Family's misfortune. He didn't know that the Li Family had already belonged to the City of Sin. The Panlong family knew nothing about the patriarch's actions. However, Zhao Panlong is, after all, a member of the Panlong family. Since he has committed such a huge mistake, the Panlong family cannot escape responsibility. To express our apology, I have come under the orders of the clan leader."
As he spoke, Zhao Zichen took out an ancient sword and respectfully handed it to Lin Wudao.
Boom!
The moment the ancient sword appeared, a terrifying aura surged out like a heavenly river, instantly engulfing the entire Myth Inn.
"An Extreme Dao spiritual weapon?"
Lin Wudao was surprised. He looked at Zhao Zichen with a strange expression.
"That's right, it's an Extreme Dao spiritual weapon. This sword is called the Sword of Destruction. There are seventy-two Extreme Dao restrictions engraved on it. It is extremely destructive. Although it is not a precious treasure for the City Lord, it's a token of my Panlong family's appreciation. City Lord, please accept it," Zhao Zichen said sincerely.
His attitude was extremely respectful.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao's lips curled into a smile.
"Very well. Since it's the Panlong family's goodwill, I'll accept it. To be honest, it's just a misunderstanding between me and the Panlong family. We'll let bygones be bygones."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wudao waved his hand and grabbed the Sword of Destruction. After examining it, he gave it to Li Zangtian.
The other party's current weapon was an Imperial Dao spiritual weapon, the Xuantian Ancient Sword. It was time to change it.
"Get ready. We'll head to the Panlong Ancient City immediately," He instructed.
Hearing this, Zhao Zichen's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Is the City Lord also going to Panlong Ancient City?" He asked curiously.
"Yes. I was invited by a friend to go to the Panlong Ancient City to do something."
"What a coincidence. I'm also heading back to Panlong Ancient City. Why don't we go together?"
"Sure."
Lin Wudao did not reject Zhao Zichen's invitation.
After the group packed up, they steered the Panlong family's huge spiritual boat and left the Heishui Ancient City as fast as lightning.
…
The Panlong Ancient City was adjacent to the Myriad Great Mountain Range.
As the Panlong Family's land of inheritance, whether it was the vastness of the area or the degree of prosperity, it was not inferior to the Heishui Ancient City. In fact, it was even stronger.
Whoosh!
After half a day, under Zhao Zichen's lead, Lin Wudao and the others finally arrived at the Panlong Ancient City.
"City Lord, since you're here, why don't you take this opportunity to visit the Panlong family? The Panlong family will fulfill the duties of a host."
Zhao Zichen invited with a smile.
"There's no need for that. I still have something to do. When I have time, I will definitely go and disturb you."
"Oh, that's a pity…"
Zhao Zichen looked regretful.
"By the way, City Lord, there is also a Myth Inn in the Panlong Ancient City. If the City Lord is tired of walking around, you can go to the Myth Inn to rest. I still have to return to the family to report, so I shall not disturb the City Lord's mood."
After saying that, Zhao Zichen bowed respectfully to Lin Wudao before steering the spiritual boat away.
…
"City Lord, the Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family is not simple."
After Zhao Zichen left, Yin Siming suddenly said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao also revealed a mysterious smile.
"He's indeed not simple. There's a saying that goes well, all is not gold that glitters."
"City Lord, your words are wonderful," Yin Siming praised.
With the Eye of Truth, he knew everything about Zhao Zichen.
"Alright, you guys go ahead and take a stroll. I have some things to do next. After I'm done, we'll meet at the Myth Inn."
"Yes, sir."
Yin Siming and Li Zangtian nodded, then turned around and blended into the crowd.
At the same time, Lin Wudao also disappeared in a flash.
…
Whoosh!
A moment later, he changed into Dongfang Bubai's attire and arrived at Star Seizer Courtyard in the Myth Inn without anyone noticing.
According to the information in the invitation letter, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu were there.
As expected, when Lin Wudao revealed himself, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu, who were drinking and chatting, immediately stood up with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Ren, you're finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Haha!"
The first time they met, they had been cautious, but the second time around, they were already familiar with each other.
With the cooperation in the Heishui Ancient City, their relationship had become much closer.
As such, Lin Wudao did not treat himself as an outsider and immediately found a seat to sit down.
"I heard from the Mad Daoist that you've received a big client this time?"
"Yes."
At the mention of the big client, Qin Daofu and the Mad Daoist became spirited.
"Who is it?"
"Oh, that person is from the Panlong family. He is the Seventh Young Master, Zhao Zichen."
Hmm? What a coincidence.
Lin Wudao was stunned when he heard this name.
He had just parted ways with Zhao Zichen. He did not expect Qin Daofu's so-called big client to be him.
Indeed, it was too much of a coincidence.
However, thinking of Zhao Zichen's character, Lin Wudao was not surprised.
"I also have some understanding of this Seventh Young Master of the Panlong family. From what I can see, this person looks like an elegant young master on the surface, but in secret, he is not a good person. He has done many bad things," Lin Wudao said indifferently.
Hearing this, the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu smiled.
Obviously, they already knew what kind of person Zhao Zichen was.
"Oh right, why did Zhao Zichen look for you? Could it be that an old ancestor of the Panlong family has died recently and they have invited you to handle the funeral?"
"Of course not. Brother Ren, you still don't know, right? Qin Daofu's Netherworld Coffin Shop not only deals with the dead, but he also deals with the living. Oh, he specializes in helping people clean up some trouble. As long as it's something that is inconvenient for others to do, or something that cannot be exposed, Qin Daofu's Netherworld Coffin Shop will accept it. Sigh, this world is too difficult. Earning money is hard…"
The Mad Daoist sighed.
Huh? Was this hard?
Lin Wudao ridiculed the other party's words in his heart.
"Oh right, why did Zhao Zichen look for you? "
"It's almost the same as the Li family," Qin Daofu replied casually.
"The same? Could it be… Digging up the ancestral graves?"
Lin Wudao's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Oh, Zhao Zichen's ambition this time is not just to dig up the ancestral graves of the Panlong family. I heard that he has even more extreme things to do next. However, that fellow seemed to have some misgivings and did not say much. Heh, it's unfortunate for the Panlong family to have such an unfilial son," The Mad Daoist sighed.
However, his face was full of smiles.
He liked such people, and he liked doing such things even more.
"What is it exactly?"
"In three days, it will be the day when the Panlong family will pay their respects to their ancestors. Yesterday, Zhao Zichen came to the Heishui Ancient City and found Qin Daofu, saying that he wanted him to help dig up the ancestral graves on the day of the worship. Qin Daofu will be in charge of fending off the old ancestors of the Panlong family, while that brat Zhao Zichen will personally dig up the ancestral graves. Tsk tsk, when the time comes, it will definitely be very exciting."
The Mad Daoist couldn't help but grin when he thought of that scene.
Lin Wudao was deep in thought.
Since Zhao Zichen was going to dig up his family's ancestral grave, there would definitely be corpses there.
In that case, wouldn't his chance to collect corpses come again?
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao's interest was piqued.

"Old lunatic, with your experience in grave-digging, do you think this ancestral grave of the Panlong family has any potential?"
After pondering for a while, Lin Wudao asked curiously.
...
"Oh, potential, huh… There is definitely still some."
The Mad Daoist nodded slightly.
"The Panlong Family has been around for more than 5,800 years. Be it in terms of strength or heritage, they are much stronger than the Heishui Family. In particular, it is said that many of the ancestors of the Panlong family were Mystic Heaven realm powerhouses. There should be quite a number of good things in their ancestral graves."
At this point, the Mad Daoist's eyes immediately revealed a look of greed.
Hearing his words, Lin Wudao was also very interested.
In addition, the Mad Daoist's words also reminded him that the corpses of Yan Zhenshan and the others from the Shangqing Sword Palace were still in the system space. He had almost forgotten to collect them.
"Let's find an opportunity to collect them together…" He thought to himself.
Then, the three of them began to plan carefully again, having designs on the ancestral grave of the Panlong family.
Thump, thump, thump!
Just as they were discussing, there was a knock on the door.
The three immediately frowned.
"Who is it?" Qin Daofu roared.
"Boss Qin, it's me. The person who wants to dig up the ancestral graves…"
Outside the door, a low voice sounded.
Hearing this, whether it was Qin Daofu, the Mad Daoist, or Lin Wudao, all of them looked at each other and revealed mysterious smiles.
The person who came was Zhao Zichen.
"He came really quickly. Qin Daofu, I'm guessing that Zhao Zichen definitely didn't come to find you at this time about the matter of digging up the ancestral grave. He might have something else that he needs your help with. You talk to him first. Brother Ren and I will watch from the side," The Mad Daoist said in a low voice.
After saying that, he and Lin Wudao immediately each crushed an invisibility jade talisman and hid in the void.
At the same time, Qin Daofu put away all the cups on the table and wiped away all traces of others' presence before opening the door as if nothing had happened.
A mysterious cloaked man was standing outside.
"So it's you. Come in."
Even though Zhao Zichen had used the Great Shapeshifting Technique to change his body and appearance, Qin Daofu was still able to easily identify him.
In their line of work, it was impossible to not have some insight and ability.
"Young Master Zhao, didn't we agree to meet again in three days? Is there anything else you need since you came looking for me?" Qin Daofu asked calmly.
Hearing this, Zhao Zichen didn't speak immediately.
He first looked up and sized up the courtyard. After confirming that there was no one else present, he nodded.
"Indeed. I came here this time because I have a big business deal to discuss with Boss Qin."
Big business deal?
When these words were said, not only Qin Daofu, but Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist, who were hiding in the darkness, were also curious.
"What big business deal? Tell me about it. My asking price is very high. If it's less than 100 million, Young Master Zhao should save the effort of opening your mouth to avoid wasting everyone's time."
Qin Daofu was as domineering as ever.
However, Zhao Zichen did not get angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled.
"Don't worry, Boss Qin. This business deal is definitely worth more than 100 million," Zhao Zichen said mysteriously.
Oh?
In an instant, Qin Daofu's curiosity was completely piqued.
"What is it?"
"Oh, it's like this. Recently, the Panlong family and the Beihai family are preparing to build connections through marriage to strengthen and consolidate the relationship between the two families. According to what I know, the marriage partners are the eldest son of the Panlong Family, Zhao Qinlong, and the eldest daughter of the Beihai family, Qi Qingyu. If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Beihai family will arrive at the Panlong Ancient City early tomorrow morning. At that time, the two families will hold an engagement ceremony," Zhao Zichen said slowly.
Hmm? A marriage alliance between aristocratic families?
Qin Daofu's expression did not change when he heard this. Marriage alliances between aristocratic families were very normal.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"Hehe, Boss Qin, you're not working for me, you're working for yourself. I've said it before. This big business deal is between you and me, and we'll each get what we need. As for the specifics, it's very simple. After the engagement ceremony between the Beihai family and the Panlong family is over, Boss Qin only needs to kidnap Qi Qingyu to demand a ransom from them."
Zhao Zichen told him his plan.
Hmm? He wanted him to kidnap a lady?
Qin Daofu was slightly startled.
"You mean to kidnap Qi Qingyu and ask for ransom from the Panlong family and Beihai family through her?"
"Exactly. The Panlong family and the Beihai family both have strong foundations. Qi Qingyu's identity isn't simple either. As long as we kidnap her, we'll definitely get a ransom. Her value is definitely more than 100 million. Moreover, this is only the first step."
At this point, Zhao Zichen's face revealed an even more mysterious smile.
"You have a second step?"
"Of course. In this world, it's really too difficult to make money. Without some thoughts and methods, it definitely won't work."
"Then… What's the second step?" Qin Daofu asked curiously.
"Well, some secrets cannot be revealed. Let's kidnap Qi Qingyu first."
Zhao Zichen was tight-lipped and didn't seem willing to say much.
Seeing this, Qin Daofu tactfully did not ask any further.
Soon after, He pretended to be deep in thought.
"According to your plan, how much ransom do you plan to ask them for?"
"One billion medium-grade spiritual stones."
"That many?"
"Is it many? I don't think so."
"One billion medium-grade spiritual stones is not a small amount. The Panlong family and Beihai family will probably have to hurt a little to take it out, right?" Qin Daofu asked curiously.
Zhao Zichen shook his head.
"It's just one billion medium-grade spiritual stones. For the Panlong family and Beihai family, which have been hidden factions for more than five thousand years, it's not even a big deal. If we asked for one billion high-grade spiritual stones, then they really can't afford it."
He chuckled.
After saying that, his gaze landed on Qin Daofu again.
"How is it, Boss Qin? Are you interested in this business?"
"I am. What kind of powerhouses do the Panlong family and Beihai family have?"
"Oh, the Panlong family has an old ancestor at the final stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm. The rest of the patriarchs are all at the early stage of the Heavenly Cycle realm. As for the Beihai family, they should be sending a patriarch over this time. With Boss Qin's strength, you can surely suppress them all," Zhao Zichen said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Qin Daofu nodded.
"Alright, I'll accept this business."
"In that case, I'll wait for Boss Qin's good news tomorrow. After the deed is done, let's meet up at the Broken Dragon Ridge outside the Panlong Ancient City."
After saying that, Zhao Zichen left a million medium-grade spiritual stones as a deposit, then turned around and left the Myth Inn.
Whoosh!
When he was far away, the Mad Daoist and Lin Wudao reappeared.
"Tsk tsk, this brat Zhao Zichen is truly insane. To think he wouldn't even let his own family off. The Panlong family must truly be unlucky to have produced such a descendant," The Mad Daoist clicked his tongue and laughed strangely.
"What do you think is the second step of that kid's plan?" At this moment, Qin Daofu sipped his tea and said.
"Well, it's hard to say, but it's definitely related to Qi Qingyu from the Beihai family. Based on my many years of life experience, Zhao Zichen will most likely accept the ransom and then go back on his word."
Go back on his word?
Qin Daofu was somewhat puzzled.
He didn't seem to understand the meaning of the Mad Daoist's words.
"What the old lunatic means is that Zhao Zichen won't return Qi Qingyu after collecting the ransom. He might use Qi Qingyu again to do something else and gain more benefits," At this moment, Lin Wudao continued.
"If that's the case, Zhao Zichen is really shameless. If it was my son, I would definitely beat him to death," Qin Daofu snorted.
"Hey, why do you care so much? Either way, this is someone else's business. You're just doing things for money. Don't worry about anything else."
"That's true," Qin Daofu smacked his lips and agreed.
"Brother Ren, let's just wait for tomorrow's show. Zhao Zichen is really a talent."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
…
Soon after, they chatted for a while before Lin Wudao left.
After he found Yin Siming and Li Zangtian, he took out the corpses of Yan Zhenshan, Lin Jiu, and the rest and placed them into the heaven burial bronze coffin.

Chapter 181: Engagement and Kidnap
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[Ding!]
...
[You have collected Yan Zhenshan's corpse and obtained a level 10 ancient spiritual weapon. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a low-grade Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon.]
[You have collected Lin Jiu's corpse and got nothing.]
[You have collected Lin Xuanzhen's corpse and obtained the Great Innate Sky Pill. After the system's tenfold enhancement, you have obtained a bottle of Great Heavenly Cycle Pills. After consuming them, your cultivation will increase to the Heavenly Cycle realm.]
[You have collected Wei Qingsi's body and got nothing.]
A series of notifications sounded in his mind.
Boom!
Following this, an ancient green seal and a bottle of Great Heavenly Cycle Pills instantly appeared in front of Lin Wudao.
[Name: Curled Dragon Seal]
[Level: Human Dao Ancient Spiritual Weapon]
[Rarity: Low-grade]
[Description: Obtained through the enhancement of a level 10 ancient spiritual weapon. After activation, it has the power to split mountains.]
[Name: Great Heavenly Cycle Pill]
[Level: Spirit pill]
[Quality: High grade]
[Description: After consumption, one's cultivation can be raised to the early stage of the Heavenly Cycle Realm.]
"Not bad."
Lin Wudao was satisfied after reading the introduction of the Curled Dragon Seal and the Great Heavenly Cycle Pill. Although he did not obtain anything from Lin Jiu and Wei Qingsi's corpses, these two items were still acceptable. "There are a total of three Great Heavenly Cycle Pills in the bottle. After we get back, they can be used to increase Uncle Han and Zhao Mang's strength. As for the Curled Dragon Seal, I'll synthesize it and use it to increase the quality of the Sky-shaking Bell," Lin Wudao calculated in his heart.
After that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and concentrated on cultivating.
The next day, early in the morning, Lin Wudao met up with the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu. Then, the three of them headed straight for the Panlong family's residence together.
The Lingyun Hall was the symbol of the power and status of the Panlong family. It was the most dignified hall in the residence.
Relying on the invisibility jade talisman, Lin Wudao and the other two quietly entered the hall. They looked up and saw that the grand hall was already filled with guests.
The surroundings were decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Looks like it's very lively today…" The Mad Daoist said with a faint smile after sweeping his gaze around.
The seats were full. All the influential figures in the Panlong Ancient Family, or the factions that were on good terms with the Panlong family, had sent envoys to congratulate them.
This was because today was the day of the engagement between the eldest son of the Panlong family, Zhao Qinlong, and the eldest daughter of the Beihai family, Qi Qingyu.
At this moment, a dignified middle-aged man was already sitting at the highest seat of the Lingyun Palace.
His face was filled with joy.
This person was the current clan leader of the Panlong family, Zhao Tianxiong.
Now, he had already cultivated to the perfection of the Heavenly Cycle realm and was not too far away from breaking through to the Heaven Capture realm. "Brother Zhao, congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Clan Leader Zhao. Today, your son will be married to the eldest daughter of the Beihai family. They are a golden couple, a match made in heaven. They will definitely become a beautiful story in the future."
"Brother Zhao, your good days are to come."
"Congratulations, Brother Zhao!"
In the Lingyun Hall, many guests congratulated him with smiles on their faces.
Zhao Tianxiong also returned the greetings.
"The Beihai family has arrived."
After an unknown amount of time, just as the hall was filled with laughter, a loud voice suddenly sounded from the distant sky.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, a dazzling stream of light streaked across the void and transformed into a huge spiritual boat that stopped in front of the Panlong family's doors.
Many powerful figures stood on it.
The leader was a mid-stage Heavenly Cycle realm old man dressed in green. His name was Qi Zhentian, and he was a respected patriarch of the Beihai family.
Behind him was a woman in white who was devastatingly beautiful. Although her temperament was a little cold, her cultivation was extraordinary.
She had already reached perfection in the Innate Sky realm.
It was Qi Qingyu, the eldest daughter of the Beihai family.
"Hehe, the main character is here. Next, we just have to wait for a good show,"
The Mad Daoist said with a smile.
Soon after, he and Lin Wudao found a quiet place and waited to watch the show. As for Qin Daofu, he had snuck into the Lingyun Hall and was ready to act at any moment.
Neither the Panlong family nor the Beihai family noticed their existence.
Whoosh!
When the Beihai family arrived, Zhao Tianxiong, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led his son Zhao Qinlong to the main door to welcome them.
"Welcome, patriarch. The Panlong family is honored for you to have graced your presence. Patriarch Zhentian, Qingyu, please come in," Zhao Tianxiong greeted warmly.
Hearing this, Qi Zhentian turned his gaze to Zhao Qinlong. After examining him for a while, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Qinlong is indeed a talent. To think you have reached the Heavenly Cycle realm at such a young age. Your future is limitless. You are a match made in heaven with Qingyu."
"Patriarch, you praise me too much."
Zhao Qinlong was neither servile nor overbearing, and Qi Zhentian was increasingly satisfied.
However, in contrast to his smile, Qi Qingyu, who was following closely behind, remained silent. Her expression was also very calm.
She looked very cold.
"Qingyu, greet your Uncle Zhao. After the engagement ceremony, you will be the young madam of the Panlong family. You have to be prepared."
At this moment, Qi Zhentian's voice rang out. His words were full of warning.
"Greetings, Uncle Zhao."
"Haha, hello. Patriarch Jingtian, Qingyu, please don't just stand here. Let's go in and talk."
As he spoke, Zhao Tianxiong immediately led everyone to Lingyun Hall.
Whoosh!
With the arrival of Qi Zhentian and Qi Qingyu, the gazes of the guests instantly gathered on them.
"Clan leader, it's almost time," An elder in green bowed and reported. "Alright. Since the auspicious time has arrived, let the engagement ceremony begin."
"Yes, sir."
Rumble!
Accompanied by the deafening sound of firecrackers, Qi Zhentian and a patriarch of the Panlong family sat at the head of the hall together. They looked at Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu with smiles.
"Today is just the engagement ceremony. We don't have to do all those messy rituals. Let's make it simple. Our two families will exchange the marriage contracts and go through the process. The rest of the time will be left for the young people."
Qi Zhentian laughed.
"Mm, that's good too. In that case, we will do as Brother Zhentian says."
The Panlong family's patriarch was a muscular man named Zhao Hanshan. He seemed to have a violent personality and was very forthright.
As soon as the two finished speaking, people from the Panlong family and the Beihai family immediately stood up and exchanged marriage certificates according to the etiquette and procedures of the cultivation world.
Seeing this, whether it was Zhao Hanshan, Qi Zhentian, or Zhao Tianxiong, all of them revealed brilliant smiles.
"From today onwards, our families are in-laws. From now on, we will share weal and woe, life and death," Qi Zhentian said in a deep voice.
"Of course," Zhao Hanshan replied solemnly.
At this point, under the witness of many guests, the Panlong family and the Beihai family became in-laws.
The interests of the two families were tightly tied together. They each took what they needed.
"Qinlong, Qingyu is new here. Take her to familiarize herself with the environment. In the meanwhile, we will discuss the date of the wedding and get this done as soon as possible."
At this moment, Zhao Hanshan said.
"Yes."
After taking the order, Zhao Qinlong left the Lingyun Palace with Qi Qingyu.
"The show is starting!"
Looking at their departing figures, the Mad Daoist began to snicker.
He had already seen Qin Daofu follow the two of them.
"Qingyu, let me show you around. I know you don't have any feelings for me.
We're in an arranged marriage, but this was decided by the patriarch and the others. It's not something we can change. In the years to come, I will definitely treat you well and be a qualified husband," Zhao Qinlong said sincerely. Hearing this, Qi Qingyu nodded without saying anything. Then, the two walked side by side. Along the way, Zhao Qinlong happily introduced the environment of the Panlong family to Qi Qingyu, as well as many strange stories.
However, they did not know that a strange figure had already quietly arrived behind them.
"Hello, both of you~"
Suddenly, Qin Daofu grinned and greeted him.
"You… Ah!"
Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu turned around to see who it was. However, just as they turned around, Qin Daofu's sandbag-sized fist greeted them.
Bang!
Bang!
Before Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu could react, they were knocked unconscious.
Seeing this, Qin Daofu did not hesitate. He immediately put the two of them into a sack and left the Panlong family without anyone noticing..

Chapter 182: Asking for Ransom, One Billion Each!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Well done."
...
Seeing that Qin Daofu had succeeded, the Mad Daoist who had been hiding in the darkness immediately clapped his hands and laughed.
"Brother Ren, let's go to Broken Dragon Ridge to watch the show."
"Alright."
Lin Wudao nodded.
With that, the two of them left the Panlong family and headed straight for Broken Dragon Ridge.
Broken Dragon Ridge was a dangerous place 8,000 miles away from the Panlong Ancient City. It was usually deserted and was the most suitable place to hide and do bad things.
Whoosh!
When Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist arrived at Broken Dragon Ridge, they saw that Qin Daofu had already arrived.
Zhao Zichen had also been waiting for a long time.
"Boss Qin, I knew you wouldn't let me down."
When Zhao Zichen saw Qin Daofu walking over with a sack, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
However, when he opened the sack and saw Zhao Qinlong too, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Why did you kidnap him too?"
"One more person means one more ransom. Isn't that good?"
"Good! Boss Qin is indeed a businessman," Zhao Zichen praised with a smile.
Originally, he only wanted to kidnap Qi Qingyu to force the Panlong and Beihai families to submit. However, since Zhao Qinlong had been kidnapped as well, it was not a bad thing.
Just as Qin Daofu had said, he could collect an additional ransom.
If that was the case, why not?
"Right, what do you plan to do next?"
"Naturally, we'll follow our previous plan and collect ransom from the Panlong family and the Beihai family. However, before that, I'll have to trouble Boss Qin to make a trip and deliver a letter. Ask the Panlong family and the Beihai family to prepare one billion medium-grade spiritual stones for each of them and come to Broken Dragon Ridge to redeem them. In addition, Boss Qin, you have to be prepared to fight the two patriarchs."
Zhao Zichen pondered and said.
Hearing this, Qin Daofu nodded.
"Don't worry. Since I've already kidnapped them, I naturally won't let the Panlong family and Beihai family take them back. Even if a Mystic Heaven realm powerhouse comes, it won't do."
He patted his chest and promised.
"Yes. I can still trust the integrity of the Netherworld Coffin Shop. In that case, I'll leave everything to you, Boss Qin. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Zhao Zichen flashed and disappeared.
After he left, Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist removed their disguises and revealed themselves.
"This time, it's really a big business deal. One billion medium-grade spiritual stones for one person, so two billion for two people. This money is really f*cking easy to earn."
The Mad Daoist cackled.
"I'm afraid that the Panlong family still doesn't know about Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu's disappearance."
Lin Wudao also smiled.
"Since that's the case, Qin Daofu, why aren't you going to inform them? The earlier they know, the earlier we can get the money. The Panlong family is really unlucky to have such an unfilial son like Zhao Zichen."
The Mad Daoist sighed while gloating.
"Old lunatic, Brother Ren, help me keep an eye on these two people. I'm going to the Panlong family to deliver a letter. Since I've taken the money, I must do the deed well."
"Okay, go ahead. With me and Brother Ren guarding here, I guarantee that nothing will happen."
The Mad Daoist waved his hand.
Seeing this, Qin Daofu nodded and immediately left on the spiritual boat.
Not long after, he came to the Panlong family's residence again.
At this moment, Zhao Zichen had also returned.
Today was a great day for the marriage alliance between the two aristocratic families.
After the banquet, it was already evening. The guests who had come to congratulate them had already left.
Only the people from the Panlong family and Qi Zhentian, the patriarch of the Beihai family, were left in the huge Lingyun Hall. They chatted happily and exchanged their cultivation experiences.
"Hmm? Where did Qinlong and Qingyu go? Why haven't they shown up for so long?"
At this moment, Zhao Hanshan, the patriarch of the Panlong family, frowned slightly.
The entire time, he didn't see anyone. This was a little against the rules.
"Tianxiong, send someone to look for him. Today is their happy day of getting engaged. There are still many things to instruct them," Zhao Hanshan said with a dark face.
Hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately prepared to go look for Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu.
Whoosh!
However, just as he turned around, a piece of white paper suddenly tore through the void and landed on the ground of the Lingyun Hall like an arrow.
"Who is it?"
Seeing this sudden scene, Zhao Tianxiong immediately flew up. His sharp gaze instantly swept across all directions, but he did not find any clues.
At the same time, Zhao Hanshan extended his hand and took the piece of paper.
Bang!
When he saw the contents of the paper, he was furious. He smashed the table nest him into pieces.
"Thief! This is too much!" His ferocious roar shook the sky.
What was wrong? Everyone present, including Qi Zhentian, looked at Zhao Hanshan in bewilderment.
"Brother Hanshan, what happened?"
"Hmph, you can see for yourself."
As he spoke, Zhao Hanshan passed the note to Qi Zhentian.
"What? Zhao Qinlong and Qing Yu have been kidnapped? The kidnapper wants us to prepare one billion medium-grade spiritual stones for each of them and go to the Broken Dragon Ridge to redeem them?"
Qi Zhentian's expression turned extremely gloomy as he read the contents of the paper.
Upon hearing his words, Zhao Tianxiong and the other clan members present widened their eyes in disbelief.
Someone dared to kidnap people from the Panlong family? Wasn't he too bold?
"Patriarch, who is it? How dare they kidnap Qinlong and Qingyu?" Zhao Tianxiong asked anxiously.
Qi Zhentian and Zhao Hanshan both sighed.
"I don't know who did it. The letter only said that Qinlong and Qingyu have been kidnapped. It asked us to prepare one billion medium-grade spiritual stones for each of them and go to the Broken Dragon Ridge to redeem them. If they don't see the spiritual stones before sunrise tomorrow, the other party will kill the hostage," Zhao Hanshan said hatefully.
His eyes were filled with a fierce light.
Qi Zhentian was the same.
"Zhao Hanshan, you have to give the Beihai family an explanation for this. It's neither early nor late and just had to be on the day of the engagement when the two main characters were kidnapped. It's obviously the doing of the Panlong family's enemies. Tell me, what should we do about this?" Qi Zhentian questioned angrily.
"Hmph, what do you mean by enemies of the Panlong family? Why can't it be the enemy of your Beihai family? Besides, what's the use of saying all this before things are clear? The most important thing now is to rescue them," Zhao Hanshan retorted coldly. "Then tell me, what should we do?"
"We'll do as the other party says first. Zhao Tianxiong, go and retrieve two billion medium-grade spiritual stones immediately. We will head to Broken Dragon Ridge together to retrieve them. Also, no one is allowed to spread this matter. If anyone dares to leak a word, kill them without mercy." Zhao Hanshan's face was filled with killing intent.
Hearing this, Zhao Tianxiong did not dare to hesitate. He immediately went to the treasure vault to retrieve treasures and resources worth two billion medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Zhao Hanshan. "You stay here and guard this place. Patriarch Zhentian and I will go. It will be bad if there are too many people."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hanshan and Qi Zhentian immediately steered the spiritual boat and quickly headed toward Broken Dragon Ridge.
After a long time, when they arrived at the location recorded on the paper, they saw a mighty giant man who was as majestic as a wild tyrannosaurus. He had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Qinlong and Qi Qingyu were lying at his feet..
