The First Marquis of Daxuan

Tian Cangchen looked at Liang Jinglue with a fierce glint in his eyes.

They're either sending me to steal Su Mu or to deal with the Azure Sky Sect. Are they afraid I won't die fast enough?

If I had that ability, wouldn't I have swept through the Taixu Sacred Realm and beaten the Cangqiong Sect long ago?

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Su Mu was indeed quite capable.

Especially the fan in his hand, it was practically his nemesis, actually consuming one of his life-saving techniques.

It is indeed not advisable to take action against him now before we have figured out his weaknesses.

Su Mu was like this, and so was Xuan Emperor Yang Xiuhu, who received help from the Azure Sky Sect.

Do you really think the Azure Sky Sect is so easy to deal with?

Tian Cangchen snorted coldly. If he didn't think Liang Jinglue was still useful, he would have slapped Liang Jinglue to death right now.

"Alright, since you came up with this idea, then you should carry it out."

Tian Cangchen said coldly, "Go and bring me back the information about the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves that Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu possessed."

"I?"

Liang Jing was slightly taken aback. What did this have to do with him?
What business is it of mine what your Martial Sect does!

Besides, I, Liang Jinglue, am just a strategist. Don't you understand what a strategist is?

That means just coming up with ideas but not doing any work!

"I'm afraid I can't do it—"

Liang Jinglue said.

Before he could finish speaking, Tian Cangchen interrupted him.

"If this isn't acceptable, what use are you to me?"

Tian Cangchen said coldly, "If you say one more thing that's not acceptable, you'll be undermining the morale of our army, and you'll be executed without mercy!"

Liang Jinglue's face turned pale.

That damned Tian Cangchen is far too domineering!

It's simply too much!
You seized my Demon Court and now you want me to fight to the death in the Great Xuan Dynasty? Do you really think I, Liang Jinglue, am a pushover?

"Lord Tian, ​​I can go, but I can't guarantee I'll succeed."

Liang Jinglue, recognizing that those who understand the times are wise, spoke up.

"If you fail, you can go die."

"You can't even handle this small thing, what use are you to me?"

Tian Cangchen said coldly.

Liang Jinglue's words had just touched a nerve, and now he couldn't stand Liang Jinglue no matter what.

If given the opportunity, he would definitely kill Liang Jinglue without hesitation.

Liang Jinglue froze.

He originally thought that Wu Zong's Vajra and Zheng Deshan were difficult enough to deal with.

Unexpectedly, compared to Tian Cangchen, Zheng Deshan and Wu Zong Jingang were simply too kind-hearted.

Before I could say anything, the other party was already trying to attack and kill me.

"I--"

Liang Jinglue suppressed the humiliation in his heart and wanted to say something more.

You have no right to bargain with me.

Tian Cangchen coldly interrupted him, saying, "This is a military order."

There's no room for negotiation. I don't care what methods you use, I must get the information about the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

You have two weeks.

If I don't hear from you in two weeks, then your head can be rolled on the ground.

Tian Cangchen's tone left no room for argument, giving Liang Jinglue no chance to explain.

"Lord Tian, ​​I can accept this military order, but I would like to know clearly what kind of manpower I can mobilize."

If you're just asking me to go out and gather information alone, you might as well just kill me now. I simply can't do it.

Liang Jinglue said through gritted teeth.

"you wanna die!"

Tian Cangchen flew into a rage, "You dare to disobey my first order? What will you do in the future?"

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!"

He raised his hand, and a strong wind gathered beneath his palm.

"Little Lord!"

Just then, one of the Vajra warriors spoke up, "Show mercy!"

"What do you have to say?"

Tian Cangchen said coldly.

“Young Master, Liang Jinglue comes from a foreign land and has little experience. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against him.”

Although he is not capable of great things, he has been working hard these days and has done his part.

In my opinion, we should give him another chance.

That's what King Kong said.

These days, Liang Jinglue has indeed been very obedient to them.

Although Wu Zongjingang pleaded for him, Liang Jinglue lowered his head, his eyes filled with hatred.

His current predicament is inextricably linked to these martial arts masters.

Sooner or later, he will make Emperor Wuzong pay the price!
"Liang Jinglue, aren't you going to obey orders? Do you really want to die?!"

The Martial Sect Vajra roared.

"Yes, I'll go find out right away!"

Liang Jinglue bowed deeply, feeling extremely humiliated.

They didn't send a single soldier, but wanted him to find out Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu's biggest secret. This was clearly a ploy to kill Liang Jinglue.

But Liang Jinglue cannot die.

Tian Cangchen snorted coldly.

Wu Zong Jingang held a high position within the Wu Zong sect, and since they were currently in the outer regions, he needed to rely on Wu Zong Jingang, so he couldn't afford to offend them too much.

Whether Liang Jinglue is killed or not makes little difference.

Since that's the case, we might as well give the King Kongs some face.

"Get out of here, don't make us late!"

Tian Cangchen said coldly.

Liang Jinglue bowed and withdrew.

At this moment, Wu Zongjing spoke up, "Young Master, Seventh Brother—"

The "seventh" mentioned by Wu Zong Jin Gang refers to the Jin Gang who was captured alive by Su Mu. He ranks seventh among the nine Jin Gang of Wu Zong.

Originally, they went to Nanshan to kill Su Mu and rescue the Seventh Vajra.

But the result—

Tian Cangchen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant again.

This is simply a stain on his life.

He was actually defeated by Su Mu and failed to save the Seventh Vajra!
"Hmph, I reckon Su Mu wouldn't dare do anything to the Seventh Vajra."

"Let Seventh Vajra suffer a bit for now and stay with Su Mu for a while. I'll think of a way to rescue him."

Tian Cangchen said coldly.

"That's the only way."

The other eight Vajra sighed and spoke.

They also witnessed firsthand the power of the fan in Su Mu's hand; Tian Cangchen was no match for it, and neither were they.

If we want to save them, we may have to wait.

If they can present the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves as a birthday gift on the Sect Leader's birthday, the Sect Leader might be pleased and personally rescue the Seventh Thief.

Even if the sect leader doesn't take action personally, there are countless ways to save the seventh brother if he gives the order.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to find the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves, and we must do so before the Azure Sky Sect!
The martial arts masters exchanged glances, each seeing the determination in the other's eyes.

"Young Master, Liang Jinglue went to inquire about the information on Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu. We're just idling around anyway, so why don't we go find the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon? It'll be like splitting up the forces, just in case."

"Martial Sect Vajra said."

"it is good."

After pondering for a moment, Tian Cangchen slowly said, "In that case, I will also go into seclusion to cultivate a martial art. Once I master this martial art, what is there to worry about with Su Mu?"

…………

Liang Jinglue walked alone on the desolate continent, his face weathered and worn.

He felt both hatred and regret.

What he hated was Emperor Wuzong's domineering nature, and what he regretted was that he had actually made the suggestion to them.

He originally made these suggestions to try and trick Tian Cangchen.

After all, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was no easier to deal with than Su Mu.

If Tian Cangchen really goes to find Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, he might suffer a second loss.

As it turned out, they shot themselves in the foot.

That damned Tian Cangchen actually wants him to go find Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, himself!
Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, may indeed have some information about the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves, but would he easily let others know such information?

Unless Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, is captured alive and subjected to severe torture, how could such information possibly be obtained?
It's now obvious that going to the Great Xuan Dynasty to gather information is tantamount to suicide.

If you can't get any information, you're doomed.

That Tian Cangchen simply wants my life!
Even now, Liang Jinglue still doesn't know why Tian Cangchen insisted on killing him.

Logically speaking, he should have already been completely obedient to Tian Cangchen.

Why does Tian Cangchen still want him dead?
Liang Jinglue himself came from a poor family and struggled his way to where he is today. He has experienced countless failures and does not think that failure is shameful. Therefore, he simply cannot understand Tian Cangchen's thoughts.

He never imagined that simply mentioning Su Mu and Emperor Yang Xiuhu in front of Tian Cangchen would lead to the latter wanting to kill him.

"Is fate truly determined to destroy me?"

Liang Jinglue looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

"No, there must be another way."

After a long sigh, Liang Jinglue's expression became somewhat ferocious.

Liang Jinglue has lived to this day, and he has encountered countless life-threatening situations along the way.

He was never one to accept his fate.

If he had accepted his fate, he wouldn't have survived to this day!
Even knowing that he was doomed, he still had to struggle.

Even if I am destined to die, at least I will splatter my enemies with blood.

This is the ruthlessness that Liang Jinglue inherently possesses.

Because of his scholarly background, many people often overlook his ruthlessness.

"I have a deep-seated hatred for Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu. Even if I die, I will never cooperate with him."

Countless thoughts flashed through Liang Jinglue's mind.

"But if I want to survive, I need to find someone to cooperate with."

In the entire outer realm, there are only two people capable of dealing with Tian Cangchen: besides Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, that leaves only Su Mu.

Although Liang Jinglue and Su Mu were also enemies, their struggle began in the Taiping Division and had always involved both wins and losses.

Although there is hatred between them, it is not impossible for them to cooperate.

The hatred between them stemmed more from their different allegiance to the two countries in a war, rather than from personal grudges.

But Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was different.

His feud with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was a deep-seated personal grudge, the kind that could not be reconciled.

"What qualifications do I have to cooperate with Su Mu?"

Liang Jinglue began to think seriously.

If they want to use Su Mu's power to escape this life-or-death crisis, they must first persuade Su Mu.

Su Mu is no ordinary person; if you want Su Mu to help you, you have to impress him first.

"What if I'm willing to act as Su Mu's spy and help him deal with Tian Cangchen?"

Liang Jinglue shook his head.

If it were someone else, they might agree to this condition.

But Su Mu would definitely not agree to that.

Because for Su Mu, whether or not there is an inside accomplice, he can deal with Tian Cangchen.

Most importantly, Su Mu has a personality that dictates that he won't act until he sees a clear benefit.

Without offering him some tangible benefits, it's impossible to persuade Su Mu with mere words.

If it were when Su Mu's cultivation level was low, it would be fine; he could be easily swayed by offering some benefits.

But now, given Su Mu's strength and status, what could possibly move him?
Perhaps there is, but it is certainly not something Liang Jinglue can produce at present.

"Anyway, it's a matter of life and death, so we should at least talk to Su Mu to find out the outcome."

Liang Jinglue gritted his teeth and said.

He glanced back at the direction where the Demon Court was now located and sneered inwardly.

Although Tian Cangchen and his group usurped the Demon Court, most of the demons in the Demon Court still stood on Liang Jinglue's side.

Currently, Tian Cangchen can only command a handful of demons.

Even if there are demons under Tian Cangchen's command to monitor Liang Jinglue, they won't actually monitor him.

In other words, he is very free now.

With a surge of power within him, Liang Jinglue swayed, changed direction, and headed towards the three prefectures of Lingnan.

…………

Several days later, Liang Jinglue had arrived in the three prefectures of Lingnan.

"Where is Su Mu? I need to see Su Mu."

He looked at the person in front of him, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"You can tell me anything, and I will pass it on to him."

A tabby cat lay on the table, lazily raised its head, glanced at Liang Jinglue, and said.

"Even if Su Mu isn't here, where is Dongfang Liuyun? Where is Luo Anning? At the very least, let Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, or Chen Beixuan come out."

Liang Jinglue said with a gloomy face, "I am here representing the Demon Court, so I should at least be received by someone of equal status."

"I am indeed not on equal footing with you."

The demonic cat nodded in deep agreement. Why would it personally come to receive a mere Void Returning Realm cultivator?

"But there's nothing I can do, nobody's here right now."

I can only trouble myself to come see you.

If you don't want to talk, then leave.

The giant cat monster couldn't muster any energy at all.

If Su Mu hadn't repeatedly told it to keep an eye on the three prefectures of Lingnan before leaving, it wouldn't have bothered with such matters.

But Dongfang Liuyun and the others have all gone to find the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon, and now there's not a single person in charge in the three prefectures of Lingnan. Liang Jinglue took a deep breath; when luck is bad, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

I've been bullied by a cat demon again!
Liang Jinglue wanted to turn around and leave, but he knew he didn't have the right to be willful.

If he leaves today, he won't have time to find the other people in the three prefectures of Lingnan.

Tian Cangchen only gave him half a month.

In just half a month, he simply didn't have time to think of any other solutions.

Regardless of the cat demon's status in the three states of Lingnan, the fact that it was in Su Mu's mansion and that the servants treated it with great respect indicates that the cat demon was indeed a high-ranking official in the three states of Lingnan.

that's enough.

"What I'm about to say is very important. You must tell Su Mu that it concerns the life and death of your three prefectures in Lingnan!"

If anything happens to the three prefectures of Lingnan because of your delayed communication, don't blame me for not warning you.

Liang Jinglue said in a deep voice.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If you're going to tell me, hurry up and tell me, don't disturb my afternoon nap."

The giant cat monster said irritably.

His cultivation level isn't great, but he's quite adept at bluffing.

With Master Cat around in the three prefectures of Lingnan, what could possibly happen?

With Su Mu's current strength, even if the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect attacked at the same time, it would be easy to wipe out the three states of Lingnan, but it would be almost impossible to kill Su Mu.

If you want to scare the cat, you'll need to cultivate for several hundred more years.

Liang Jinglue suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I have come here to tell Su Mu an important message."

Tian Cangchen of the Martial Sect has already seized control of the Demon Court and is now plotting to seize the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon from Su Mu in order to find the treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves!

"Oh?"

The giant cat's eyes lit up, and it suddenly became interested.

What does it mean to have a pillow when you're sleepy?

I was originally thinking about how to guide the other person.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so perceptive that they actually fell into the trap themselves.

"This news is absolutely true!"

Liang Jinglue said, "Tian Cangchen is very arrogant. He thinks that the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves is his for the taking."

If Su Mu wants to keep the Heavenly Weapon, he must strike first and eliminate Tian Cangchen!
If he's interested, I can act as an inside man!

This was Liang Jinglue's ultimate goal.

By using the fodder to devour the tiger, and having Su Mu kill Tian Cangchen, his own life would naturally be saved.

The giant cat monster gave Liang Jinglue a half-smile.

This little trick is something it's already used up.

"If Tian Cangchen wants the treasure, just give it to him."

"That's what the big cat monster said."

Liang Jinglue: "..."

what did you say?
Give the treasure to Tian Cangchen?
Are you kidding me?
Leaving aside where the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves is, what right do you have to give it to Tian Cangchen?

That's the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves!

No one would willingly give it up once they've obtained it.

For this treasure, it would be worth it even to become enemies with the Martial Sect!
"What are you talking about?"

Liang Jinglue couldn't help but scold, "If Su Mu knew you were talking like that, do you think he would let you off easily?"

“Even if Su Mu were here, I would still speak like this.”

The giant cat monster said irritably, "Since you want to be an inside man, I can give you a chance."

"Can you represent Su Mu?"

Liang Jing frowned slightly and said.

"of course."

The giant cat monster said matter-of-factly, "Didn't Tian Cangchen want to know where the treasure is?"
If he knew the location of the treasure, wouldn't he be less inclined to covet the Heavenly Weapon?

"Is such that--"

Liang Jinglue said subconsciously.

That's indeed the truth.

Although Tian Cangchen had no intention of seizing the divine weapon of destiny from Su Mu—that was just Liang Jinglue lying—Tian Cangchen did indeed want to know where the treasure was.

If he can bring the location of the treasure back, then he will have completed his mission, and Tian Cangchen will have no reason to kill him.

The question is, does Su Mu know the location of the treasure?

Even if Su Mu already knew the location of the treasure from the Heavenly Weapon, why would he be willing to tell me?
Liang Jinglue was completely baffled and could only stare intently at the giant cat monster, hoping to get an explanation from it.

“We, the three prefectures of Lingnan, are unwilling to go to war with Emperor Wuzong.”

In other words, we now need time to develop.

Therefore, we are willing to give up that treasure in exchange for avoiding being targeted by the Martial Sect.

The giant cat monster said in a serious tone, "I can tell you the location of the treasure. That way, you can complete your mission, and we'll both be safe."

So many people have died for treasure; we don't want to follow in their footsteps.

To be honest, this treasure might not necessarily contain anything good.

The demonic cat spoke for a while, but Liang Jinglue didn't hear most of it. He only heard the demonic cat say that it could tell him the location of the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

So, Su Mu really did find out the location of the Seventy-Two Thieves' treasure from the Heavenly Weapon?

If this happened to someone else, Liang Jinglue would consider whether it was true or not.

But if Su Mu really did it, then he wouldn't doubt it at all.

Su Mu is indeed a rather eccentric person; he can do things that others cannot.

Liang Jinglue believed that Su Mu was willing to give up the treasure in exchange for time for the development of the three prefectures in Lingnan.

Su Mu is a man who often does things in unexpected ways.

He's capable of anything.

How can I be sure the location you gave me is accurate?

Liang Jinglue asked cautiously.

The other party didn't offer any conditions and directly asked him to tell him the location of the treasure, which made him very uneasy.

"Why don't you let Tian Cangchen try it and you'll know?"

The giant cat monster said, "If you can find the treasure, it's real; if you can't find the treasure, it's fake."

It's that simple. "

Liang Jing was somewhat speechless; it was indeed very simple.

But if he can't find the treasure, it would be strange if Tian Cangchen didn't kill him.

"Of course, I can't just tell you the location of the treasure."

The giant cat monster said, "Such important information, it's not unreasonable for me to charge you a small fee, is it?"

"Not too much!"

Liang Jinglue said, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

If the other party were to tell him such valuable information for free, he would really suspect that the other party was up to something.

But now that the other party is actively asking for benefits, it proves that they really want to use him to deliver the message to Tian Cangchen in exchange for time to develop the three prefectures of Lingnan.

If the demon cat knew what Liang Jinglue was thinking, it would definitely call him a scoundrel.

You feel uncomfortable when others don't want something in return?
Isn't this just asking to be ripped off?
"Although my Demon Court has been forcibly occupied by Tian Cangchen and his people, I will take it back one day."

Liang Jinglue said with a serious expression, "So whatever you want, I will definitely grant it to you."

Even if I can't produce it now, sooner or later I will be able to!

The giant cat monster glanced at Liang Jinglue with some surprise, and a murmur arose in its heart.

What does this person mean?
Was he implying that I should ask for more?
Are there still people like this in the world?

Are they afraid they haven't given enough?
This is interesting.

I was worried that the fake treasure wouldn't be rich enough, but now that a sucker has come to my door, I might as well take advantage of it.

"Liang Jinglue, right? Listen carefully to what we want."

The giant cat monster raised its head and said in a serious tone.

Liang Jing sat up straight, listening intently to the voice of the demonic cat, not daring to miss a single word.

…………

When Liang Jinglue found the three prefectures of Lingnan, it wasn't that Su Mu was putting on airs and unwilling to see him.

Rather, Su Mu was no longer in the three prefectures of Lingnan.

After successfully refining the Five Elements Heavenly Net Fan, Su Mu and the demon cat devised a plan to use a fake treasure to lure the tiger into devouring the wolf.

To ensure the success of this plan, he set off without hesitation.

He needed to set up the fake treasure before the Martial Ancestor's birthday, and time was of the essence, leaving him no room for delay.

Even though he wasn't ready to go to the Taixu Sacred Realm, he now had no choice but to go there in person.

To borrow the treasure from that divine physician Liu Yue, no one else could possibly do it but him.

However, Su Mu had made up his mind that this time when he went to the Taixu Sacred Realm, he would only seek out the divine physician Liu Yue and would definitely not linger.

They would not take the initiative to contact other people.

He was well aware of how many entanglements he was involved in.

It's no exaggeration to say that once his identity is exposed in the Taixu Sacred Realm, the Cangqiong Sect, the Martial Sect, and even other sects in the Taixu Sacred Realm will not let him go.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, the Creation Method of Heaven and Earth, and even the Nine Tribulations Suppressing Prison Scripture and the Great Evolution Technique that he cultivated were all related to the Seventy-Two Thieves.

The Seventy-Two Thieves are the common enemy of all the major forces in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Su Mu inherited so many of the Seventy-Two Thieves' techniques; if these forces find out, they will definitely not let him go.

No matter how confident Su Mu was, he didn't think he could contend with the major powers of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Putting aside other things, as far as he knew, the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect were not lacking in powerful beings at the Heavenly Fate Realm.

They could easily send out a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm, and that would be enough to give Su Mu a hard time.

Su Mu did not come to the Taixu Sacred Realm this time to explore it, so naturally he would not provoke these beings.

These were the things Su Mu was thinking about on his way to the Taixu Sacred Realm.

He had to remind himself to keep a low profile!

"Is this the barrier formed by the power of the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny?"

Unbeknownst to him, Su Mu had arrived at an unnamed place, where a continuous city wall suddenly appeared before him.

Great Wall.

A familiar word came to Su Mu's mind.

The endless city wall in front of him looked just like the Great Wall of China in his memory.

It's just that the city wall is higher.

Su Mu hadn't expected that following the path within the Yin-Yang Cauldron would lead him to a city wall.

He then thought of the city inside the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Pagoda, which should be a node of this city wall.

The seventy-two divine weapons of destiny are, in a sense, seventy nodes, nailed to this endless city wall.

This city wall serves as the dividing line between the Taixu Sacred Realm and the outer realms.

The seventy-two divine weapons of destiny contain blessed lands, each existing in its own independent time. How exactly they formed this city wall involves profound spatial laws, which even Su Mu finds difficult to comprehend.

The Seventy-Two Thieves were indeed incredibly powerful.

Su Mu's cultivation level is already quite high, yet he still can't see through their methods.

No wonder even though the Seventy-Two Thieves have been gone for so many years, the experts of the Taixu Sacred Realm still fear them so much.

Standing in front of this city wall, Su Mu was filled with emotion.

After forging the Five Elements Heavenly Net Fan, Su Mu originally thought that his Qiankun Creation Technique was not much different from that of his senior uncle, Master Li.

After all, the power of the Five Elements Heavenly Net Fan is no less than that of the seventy-two Heavenly Weapons, and may even be greater.

Except for the lack of a blessed land within, its power has reached the level of seventy-two divine weapons of destiny.

But now, Su Mu realized just how far he was from being as good as his senior master, Li Shibo.

It's this mastery of spatial laws that he might not be able to catch up with even in several hundred years.

Even if he were given enough materials to forge the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny, it would be impossible for him to do so now.

To divide the world in two—what a magnificent and awe-inspiring feat!
This is the true law of creation!
Su Mu longed for it!
"Now that I've seen this level, as long as I persevere, I'll reach it one day!"

Su Mu thought to himself as he placed his hands on the endless city wall, secretly connecting with the power of the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

hum!
The towering, impregnable city wall trembled slightly, revealing a gate.

The city gate slowly opened, revealing a crack just wide enough for one person to pass through.

At the same time, the entire city wall emitted a faint white light, and various roars could be faintly heard from the top of the city wall.

The sound was like a human's roar, or like a demon's roar.

A chilling power permeated the city walls.

Su Mu had a feeling that if he hadn't mastered the Yin-Yang Cauldron, even with his current cultivation level, he would have already suffered a fatal attack if he dared to stand here.

just now.

Even though he had mastered the Yin-Yang Cauldron, he still felt a powerful sense of oppression gathering over him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

No wonder so many powerful figures in the Taixu Sacred Realm were unwilling to force their way into the outer realm.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!

Li Guichen, and the former Black Iron Scale Guard of the Azure Sky Sect, are both cautionary tales.

They forced their way through the checkpoints, only to meet a tragic end.

Without hesitation, Su Mu slowly walked through the gap in the city gate and passed through the city wall to the other side.

Instead of rushing to the Sacred Realm of the Great Void, he turned around and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the city wall.

Just then, the gate he had come through disappeared, and it transformed back into a seamless city wall.

As Su Mu clasped his hands in a fist salute, he surprisingly sensed a life force on the city wall, as if—

This city wall has come back to life!
Su Mu was slightly startled, but still bowed slightly to express his gratitude as he wished.

It was this city wall that ensured peace in the outer realms, preventing everyone there from being enslaved by the major powers of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Su Mu suddenly sensed an emotion emanating from the city wall, an emotion that seemed to be both gratified and moved.

However, Su Mu sensed from the vitality emanating from the city wall that it was old, as old as an elderly person, nearing its end.

Does a city wall have a lifespan?
Perhaps so.

Even city walls can crumble one day, especially when no one is maintaining them.

Many years after the Seventy-Two Thieves perished, the Seventy-Two Divine Weapons of Destiny were scattered outside and guarded by Seventy Tomb Keepers.

It has been many, many years since anyone has maintained this place.

"Don't worry, if one day I collect all seventy-two divine weapons of destiny, I will definitely restore you to your original state."

Su Mu thought to himself, sensing the emotions transmitted from the city wall. Without lingering, Su Mu turned and walked towards the direction of the Taixu Sacred Realm.

The Sacred Realm of the Great Void, I, Su Mu, have arrived.

Su Mu thought to himself, "My first journey through the Void Sacred Realm has officially begun." (End of Chapter)
