Loan Wusheng

Xuanhuang Realm, Xuantian Sect.

The area behind the mountain.

The only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Xuantian Sect, the Biluo Changsheng True Monarch, who had broken through to the Seventy-Year Realm in less than seventy years, had a slightly somber expression.

His eyes and brows betrayed a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"Who exactly is spying on me?"

The Azure Sky Immortal Lord pondered to himself, "Although I have not been able to detect this person's aura, it is very strange. It has an overbearing aura that can suppress everything. Could it be the 'Mysterious Sky Imperial Lord'?"

Xuanqiong Yuxiao Zhenjun comes from Taixu Sword Pavilion, the top sect among the ten major sects of Xuanhuang Realm. He is the number one Nascent Soul cultivator in Xuanhuang Realm and has now reached the late Nascent Soul stage. He is the cultivator in Xuanhuang Realm most likely to step into the position of 'Dao Lord'.

Besides the 'Xuanqiong Yuxiao Zhenjun', the Taixu Sword Pavilion also has the 'Qingming Zhanyue Zhenjun', the 'Taixu Yanxing Zhenjun', and the extremely mysterious guest elder 'Jiuyu Fenxin Yuanjun' whose origins are unknown.

There are a total of thirteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm, and the Taixu Sword Pavilion alone has four Nascent Soul cultivators, enough to dominate the Xuanhuang Realm for a generation.

As for the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they belong to the righteous and demonic paths respectively.

However, they were extremely dissatisfied with the Taixu Pavilion's domineering behavior, and the righteous and demonic paths often cooperated.

For example, after he, the Azure Sky Longevity True Lord of the Xuantian Sect, broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he was invited by the Demonic Path's 'Blood River Calamity True Lord' to attend a small gathering. There were four Nascent Soul True Lords at the gathering. In addition to the two of them, there were also 'Jade Palace Frost True Lord' and 'Yellow Spring Calamity Crossing True Lord'.

The main goal of the gathering was to turn their attention to the outer realms, to seek out other worlds in the outer heavens, to obtain the power of origin, to conceal the secrets of heaven, to improve their own cultivation, and in order to strengthen their sect.

To think that one can break through the cultivation realm beyond the Nascent Soul stage through cultivation is simply a pipe dream.

To break through, one must refine the essence of other worlds.

Therefore, cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm should ideally enter the Outer Heavens to capture the source.

Of course, they were still somewhat wary of the two great worlds, Luo Tian and Yan Fu.

Therefore, Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Xuanhuang Realm usually go to find some small worlds or fragments of destroyed large worlds, where it is more convenient to take action.

Over the past thousand years, almost all the surrounding small worlds have been divided up. With resources scarce, they naturally had no choice but to turn their attention to the Yanfu and Luotian realms and begin to look for opportunities to form teams.

The Azure Sky Immortal Lord is in charge of the work in the Jambudvipa realm.

He was very unfamiliar with the methods of stealing the source, but unfortunately, he was the weakest. Therefore, the other three Nascent Soul True Monarchs could only cheer him on from behind, and he could only bite the bullet and carry out the operation.

However, it was detected by Zheng Jun's probing soul shortly after it began to operate, and he immediately felt uneasy, but he did not realize that the probing soul was an extraterrestrial dharma form.

Based solely on this domineering aura, it can be inferred that the owner of this aura is none other than the 'True Lord Xuanqiong Yuxiao,' the number one figure in the world, invincible in the Central Plains.

"After being discovered by the Taixu Sword Pavilion, will this 'True Monarch Xuanqiong Yuxiao' force us to hand over this extraterrestrial origin?"

The Immortal Lord of Azure Sky was deeply worried, feeling that small forces were having a tough time, constantly being extorted by evil forces.

Therefore, after waiting for a long time, the True Monarch Biluo did not see the four Nascent Soul bandits from the Taixu Sword Pavilion come to rob him of his source, which immediately left the True Monarch Biluo completely baffled.

"Who exactly is testing me?"

As the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky pondered in his heart, he suddenly sensed that a wisp of his divine soul had been touched, and the source of this divine soul was the Yama Realm.

It comes from the Jambudvipa world.

Upon sensing this information, the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky immediately took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside the matter of outsiders spying on him, and instead focused on preparing to deal with all matters from the Jambudvipa Realm.

This Jambudvipa is completely different from the other small worlds in the Outer Heavens.

Those small worlds are no bigger than a country, and the strongest beings there are only around the Golden Core stage. I can suppress them at will without any mercy.

This Jambudvipa is a large world unlike those small worlds. The 'Dharma Aspect True Monarchs' in it are comparable to their Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Moreover, these 'Dharma Aspect True Monarchs' also have the ability to spy on the outer heavens. Once they are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky naturally had to be careful in dealing with the situation in the Jambudvipa world, lest his plan to 'steal the origin' fail.

After all, this theft of the source was not a business he did alone; he was in partnership with three Nascent Soul True Monarchs: Yellow Springs Crossing Calamity True Monarch, Jade Palace Frost Condensation True Monarch, and Blood River Calamity Slaughter True Monarch.

If he encounters problems, people might not want to involve him anymore.

What they wanted to steal was the 'Emperor's Qi'.

Their goal was to allow the few people they were parasitizing to establish their own territories, become the masters of the earth veins, and cultivate them into martial artists at least at the 'Golden Core' level.

Then they can use these parasitic beings to directly draw away the 'Emperor's Aura' from them, thereby obtaining a portion of the earth's vein power and acquiring the origin.

Therefore, people are the most important thing, and therefore cannot be lost.

Soon, the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky turned his attention to that wisp of divine soul in the Yama Realm.

……

Sitting in the swaying carriage, Zheng Feng made a hand seal with his fingertips, setting up a soundproof barrier before calling out in a low voice, "Master."

Smoke curled inside the carriage, and the next moment, the phantom of the Azure Sky Immortal appeared from his eyebrows.

The old man's white beard trembled slightly as he looked at Zheng Feng, his voice tinged with suppressed anxiety: "Didn't I warn you not to call me lightly before entering the capital?"

"Master, my cousin has suddenly summoned all members of the imperial clan to the capital."

Zheng Feng clenched his trembling hands hidden in his sleeves, his voice slightly shaking, and said in a low voice, "Xing-ge'er has already set off ahead to Shenjing to pay homage to his cousin. Now I have also arrived in Zhili, only half a day's journey from Shenjing... This summons is to bring all my brothers and sisters, and even my father, but..."

"But the scheme has been exposed? My cousin wants to punish me?"

Zheng Feng is now in a complete panic.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky showed a helpless expression on his face.

How can this child be so fragile?

He panicked after being summoned once.

I really regret choosing this person.

The Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The reason Zheng Feng was chosen was partly because after the four True Lords' souls entered the Yanfu Realm together, the first person they encountered was Zheng Feng, who was playing around outside.

On the other hand, it was because all four of them simultaneously discovered that Zheng Feng was blessed with great fortune and had a destiny of great wealth and honor, which is why they chose him.

However, as time went on, it was discovered that this child even had the appearance of a king or nobleman, so it was immediately decided to pour all resources into him and select him as the target of the plan.

after all……

The fact that the second son of an ordinary military family possessed the countenance of a king or nobleman was enough to prove that he would have the ability to establish a regional power in times of great upheaval.

But the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky never expected this.

This "kingly appearance" is a complete slacker who won by doing nothing. His distant cousin actually unified the Central Plains and became a being similar to them, but with even more domineering strength, similar to that "True Lord Xuanqiong Yuxiao".

Even in the core areas of its rule, even if its own true form were to descend to earth, it would still be far from being a match for the enemy.

This left the Immortal Lord of Immortality feeling quite helpless.

But soon, the Azure Sky Immortal Lord discussed with the other three Nascent Soul Immortal Lords, and they continued to support Zheng Feng and his family, gradually expanding the influence of cause and effect to the entire Yunzhou and the Zheng clan of Dongyi.

The idea is very simple.

Who says a vassal king can't rebel?

Once they have trained these individuals, they can seize control of the Eastern Yi, completely control the ley lines, declare themselves emperors, and steal the ley lines from the Eastern Yi lands.

After all, only the emperor could connect with the celestial and terrestrial energy.

That's how they can use this identity to steal the earth's veins.

Otherwise, if we just make a move, that would be robbery.

At that time, not only will Emperor Zheng Jun of the Han Dynasty take action, but even the will of heaven and earth will suppress it.

Although the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs had a chance of success if they attacked together, the risk was too great, and they didn't want to take the risk.

After all, if you get caught, you'll be beaten half to death.

It would be better to rely on the locals, support them to become kings and tyrants, and then steal the land veins—that would be much more convenient.

As for what will happen to these local puppets they have supported in the future?
Of course it would be terrible. Not only would they be hated by heaven and earth, but they would also have to bear the wrath of the Han emperor.

But what does this have to do with these few Nascent Soul cultivators from outside the realm?
As long as they can steal the ley lines, that's all that matters.

These so-called puppets are just disposable tools.

Therefore, both Zheng Lun and Princess Zheng Yan were passively provided with their financial assistance.

Only Zhengzhou Bank did not invest much in the early stages.

The reason is simple: Zheng Xing was also targeted by the Great Sage Overturning the Sea at that time, although this Dharma Aspect was of average strength and was in a state of serious injury.

However, just to be on the safe side, the four of them waited until the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea was completely destroyed and killed by Emperor Zheng Jun of the Great Han Dynasty before slowly investing in Zhengxing.

Thus, without any financial assistance from Zheng Jun, the martial arts cultivation of the Zheng family members in Yunzhou advanced by leaps and bounds, making them seem like cultivation geniuses.

Otherwise, even the direct descendants of those Yuan Dan families wouldn't cultivate so quickly, so how could they possibly be like this?
Zheng Feng, in particular, obtained some of the secret techniques of the Xuantian Sect, which allowed him to cultivate immortality in succession, making him quite remarkable.

Zheng Xing, Zheng Lun, Zheng Yan, and others were all unaware of the existence of the Azure Sky Longevity True Lord.

Only Zheng Feng knew of its existence.

They also knew of the plans of the Immortal Lord of Immortality.

And he was exceptionally enthusiastic.

after all……

Who doesn't harbor the ambition to become emperor?

However, being suddenly summoned by his imperial cousin has terrified this ambitious but cowardly cousin, who fears that his scheme has been exposed and that this summons to the capital is a prelude to the extermination of his clan.

Although he hadn't received much formal education and never enjoyed reading, he possessed a kind of untainted beauty, yet he knew the consequences of treason.

"Master, I..."

Zheng Feng opened his mouth, looking extremely fearful.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky immediately said, "Now that 'Zheng Jun' has unified the world, he will naturally celebrate his victory in a grand manner. As one of his few relatives, it is only natural for you to come to the capital to celebrate with him. Why are you worried?"

"Don't worry, just enjoy your drink."

Although the Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky also felt there might be a risk of exposure, what could he do now?
We have no choice but to take a gamble.

Otherwise, all the preparations made over the past few years would be ruined.

Anyway, once we get to the hall, he won't say a word and will secretly hide himself.

If they get arrested, then we'll find someone else to support them.

If it goes undetected, then proceed with the original plan.

With this feeling of unease, Zheng Feng continued his journey in the carriage.

Inside the Taiji Palace, a purple aura permeated the air.

Zheng Jun sat upright on the dragon-patterned throne, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrests.

The hall was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. Zheng Xing, Zheng Lun, and Zheng Yan stood on either side, reporting on various matters concerning the Eastern Barbarians.

At the same time, they also discussed the various events that had happened in Yunzhou since they parted ways with Zheng Jun. Zheng Jun also talked about the story of Heishan County from time to time. The eldest sister, Zheng Ping, and her husband, Zhou Pu, also brought their little nephew. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

The aura emanating from these individuals was also extremely powerful.

The eldest sister, Zheng Ping, and her husband, Zhou Pu, have already reached the Outer Gang Realm cultivation level.

This level of cultivation was not acquired through initiation, but is genuine and authentic.

After all, Zheng Jun is now wealthy and powerful, and is the emperor of the time. He has countless elixirs and miraculous medicines for the I Ching and marrow cleansing. With his full support, even though his sister and brother-in-law are not very talented, they are able to support each other to the Tongqiao Realm.

As for the Yuan Dan, it's not without hope.

After all, it wouldn't be a problem for the whole country to provide a few Yuan Dan (primordial essence) pills.

It's not a Dharma form.

"Why haven't my fourth brother and uncle arrived yet?"

Under these circumstances, Zheng Jun suddenly spoke, his voice resonating subtly within the hall.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yan immediately smiled and said, "My younger brother is weak, so the journey may have been delayed. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Why don't you take a look at the sword manual that I just learned?"

A wisp of green light condensed at her fingertips, vaguely resembling the Xuanhuang Realm Sword Technique.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Zheng Jun's eyes.

This sword technique was extremely well concealed; if Zheng Jun hadn't been to the Xuanhuang Realm, he wouldn't have been able to discern its nature at all.

This sword technique was clearly created by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xuanhuang Realm, who modified the sword techniques of the Xuanhuang Realm based on the martial arts of this world.

Although it looks very similar to the martial arts techniques of this world, it still bears a strong resemblance to the Xuanhuang Realm.

If Zheng Jun had never been to the Xuanhuang Realm, he would naturally only think that this was a strange and special sword technique.

It seems to have penetrated quite widely.

As Zheng Jun thought to himself, he also looked at Zheng Lun and Zheng Yan. They too were entangled with the causal threads of the Xuanhuang Realm, and they also came from the identifiable Nascent Soul cultivator of the Xuantian Sect.

However, this causal relationship is very weak, not very strong.

In other words, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect did not primarily change them, but merely did so casually, so that they were not deeply affected.

If that's the case, then Zheng Feng, the fourth son of the Zheng family, might be the place where the soul of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect resides.

Just like how he felt about Shao Jin.

Zheng Lun, Zheng Yan, and even his own brother Zheng Xing were merely figures like Baili Ping, occasionally offering guidance, not being kept as guests.

but,

If I were to confirm that the soul of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect was residing in Zheng Feng's body, what should I do?

Killing him would have no effect whatsoever.

After all, it was just a wisp of a divine soul.

Same as myself.

If Shao Jin is caught, he will only lose a wisp of his soul.

Although it is a loss, it is far too insignificant compared to normal circumstances.

"To simply capture and kill him would be making a mountain out of a molehill. Now that I have discovered this soul, I must use it to do something."

Zheng Jun thought to himself.

Indeed, killing them outright would be too wasteful.

Wasting your own time.

Through the causal threads connecting them, Zheng Jun roughly understood what they wanted to do.

They wanted to use their brothers and sisters to steal the ley lines.

Their main investment was in Zheng Feng, which aligned with their own thinking.

Zheng Jun only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to train Shao Jin and see if he could steal the spiritual vein of the Xuan Tian Sect.

If you can't steal it, then try your best to cultivate Shao Jin to the peak of the Golden Core stage, encourage him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and steal his breakthrough source when he is about to succeed.

"Perhaps we can set a trap, find a way to lure this guy from the Xuantian Sect away, and then make our move."

After thinking it over, Zheng Jun decided to go all out and make a big move.

Do you like ley lines?

Satisfy you!
I was afraid you wouldn't come!

Zheng Jun now possesses two Dharma images, enough to dedicate one of them to the soul of the Xuanhuang Realm. If the Nascent Soul of the Xuantian Sect makes any unusual moves, he can quickly complete the tactical exchange.

They stole the Xuantian Sect's earth veins!

Without a Nascent Soul, the Xuantian Sect can easily seize it.

They grabbed it and ran.

As for the will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm?

We'll see if he can catch up.

As for their side, they had the overwhelming presence of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image, so even if those four extraterrestrial cultivators arrived together, it wouldn't matter.

If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, the will of heaven and earth will relax its suppression and fully support you. At that time, it will not be a problem for you to fight four enemies with just the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World'.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Jun was full of confidence.

The only problem is whether I can seize the Xuantian Sect's land veins.

This is a problem.

However, it's worth Zheng Jun's gamble.

Soon, Zheng Yan finished her sword dance, and Zheng Jun was immediately extremely satisfied.

Just then, Huiyue quickly stepped inside and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Prince Feng's carriage has arrived at Xuanwu Gate."

"Xuan."

With this imperial edict, the palace gates were opened wide.

Zheng Feng was dressed in a plain white brocade robe, but fine beads of sweat glistened on his forehead.

He had barely stepped across the threshold when he knelt down with a thud: "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

His voice trembled, and even his sleeves shook slightly as he kowtowed; he looked extremely frightened.

Upon seeing this, his older brother Zheng Lun and older sister Zheng Yan were both very puzzled, wondering what was wrong with their younger brother and why he was so afraid and nervous.

The Azure Sky Longevity True Lord, hidden within Zheng Feng's Qi Sea, could be described as disappointed and frustrated.

Why are you shaking?

Zheng Jun's gaze was like lightning, instantly seeing through the disordered causal lines within his body.

The threads were writhing wildly, with one particular bluish-gray aura active, attempting to hide deep within Zheng Feng's dantian.

"Get up."

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, Zheng Jun lifted Zheng Feng up.

He discovered that the bluish-gray aura was exactly the same as that of the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Xuantian Sect.

That is his split soul.

Zheng Jun is now pretending not to have noticed.

The Dharma Master of the world is in the capital, and is invincible.

If the Celestial Lord of Azure Sky were highly skilled, reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage, perhaps he could discover the mystery behind it.

Unfortunately, he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage seventy years ago, and his realm had just stabilized. He was completely unaware that Zheng Jun had already discovered his aura and thought he had hidden himself perfectly.

Zheng Jun stepped forward slowly, his eyes showing concern, and asked gently, "Si Lang, you look tired. Have you been traveling and working hard these past few days? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine; I am merely a little tired from the journey since I have just arrived in the capital."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun laughed heartily, patted Zheng Feng on the shoulder, and said in a warm tone, "Why be so formal, Fourth Brother? I felt an instant affinity with you the moment I saw you. You truly are worthy of being brothers! I've heard from my eldest and second brothers that you have lofty ambitions, and seeing you today, I can confirm that you are indeed extraordinary!"

Zheng Jun paused, staring intently at Zheng Feng, and suddenly said solemnly, "After much thought, I believe that the country must be ruled by brothers. It would be a pity for my Zheng family, with its talents and strategies, to be relegated to a lower position."

"How about this? I intend to appoint you as the King of Qi, commanding 300,000 troops in Qi, to share my burdens. What do you think?"

After saying this, Zheng Jun looked at Zheng Lun and Zheng Yan and said, "Second Brother has made great contributions. He led the army in the battle against the Eastern Yi and should be made the King of Yong in Guanzhong! Sister Yan is no less capable than any man and should be made the Princess of the Di Kingdom, ruling the Di territory in Guanzhong, with a position equal to that of a prince!"

fishing!

The geological features of Qingzhou are far superior to those of the Dongyi people.

I'm granting you the title of Prince of Qi and an army of 300,000. Let's see if you're tempted or not, and whether you'll take action.

In addition, Zheng Jun even bestowed additional rewards upon Zheng Lun and Zheng Yan, promoting them directly from the rank of Prince to Prince of the First Rank, all to prevent the Xuan Tian Sect patriarch from noticing any flaws.

Moreover, sealing these two brothers and sisters in Guanzhong, right under his nose, further compresses their living space, forcing the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm to choose between Dongyi and Qingzhou.

These words immediately elicited various expressions from the people in the hall.

Zheng Lun and Zheng Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

what's the situation?
This……

Although they were both members of the Zheng clan, they were Zheng Jun's cousins.

The problem is, we're really not familiar with each other.

He now holds the title of Prince of the Second Rank, thanks to the Zheng family's good fortune. Now he has become a Prince of the First Rank, which is indeed a bit puzzling.

The Azure Sky Longevity True Monarch, hidden in his Qi Sea, was overjoyed but also somewhat surprised.

The Immortal Lord of Azure Sky naturally knew that the earth vein energy in Qingzhou was even more concentrated, but he was still somewhat hesitant about Zheng Jun's actions.

So smooth?

Something just doesn't feel right.

It took the Celestial Lord of the Azure Sky hundreds of years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. He immediately sensed that something seemed amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

He had no idea that Zheng Jun was already infiltrating the Xuantian Sect and keeping an eye on his spiritual veins. He just felt that things were going too smoothly and he never expected that Zheng Jun was setting an ambush for him.

After all, if he wanted to sever his connection with these Zheng family members, he could have simply taken action and severed this wisp of his soul. There was no need to go to such lengths and use the earth's veins as bait.

Could it be that they intend to lure the main body to Qingzhou to kill it?

It's not that bad. Killing yourself wouldn't benefit the Emperor of Han, so why go through all that trouble for nothing?

Winning brings no benefit, losing means certain death.

I believe even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty wouldn't do something like this.

Is it...

Is it really my destiny, and this is how it is meant to be?
The Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky thought to himself, "I could feel the suppression of the will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm, and nothing I did went smoothly. I never expected that I would be able to pick up such a great opportunity after coming to the Yanfu Realm!"

Is this what it feels like to be free from the suppression of the will of heaven and earth?
The newly promoted Nascent Soul True Monarch was overjoyed: if that were the case, stealing the earth veins of Qingzhou would allow him to advance to the mid-Nascent Soul stage!

Upon realizing this, the bluish-gray aura surged violently within Zheng Feng's dantian, and the divine thought emanating from it almost pierced through Zheng Feng's sea of ​​consciousness: "Agree! This is a golden opportunity! Qi is fertile and has an army of 300,000. If we raise an army, it will be even smoother! When the time comes, your master and your three senior uncles will join forces, and it will be enough to make you emperor!"

"But, but..."

Zheng Feng responded in a panic, "My cousin only granted Xing Ge the lowly title of Prince of Yan, so why is he suddenly being so kind to me, granting me the title of Prince of Qi..."

As is widely known, among the four kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Jin, and Chu, the most powerful were the four kings.

Even his own brother was only the King of Yan, and his elder brother and sister were only two of the three Qin kings. What merit did he have to be the King of Qi?
This doesn't make sense.

The Immortal Lord of Azure Sky wished he could strangle this indecisive pawn: "He must have sensed your royal destiny! Quickly accept the decree, and when I refine the Qi dragon energy for you, that will be the time for you to become the supreme ruler!"

The mid-stage Nascent Soul realm had already clouded the judgment of the Azure Sky Immortal.

Zheng Feng remained silent for a long time.

Zheng Jun glanced at everyone with a half-smile, and finally patted Zheng Feng on the shoulder: "I will issue an edict in three days. Qi has twelve prefectures, including Linzi and Langya. You will have full say in the appointment and removal of officials. However, for Jiaodong Prefecture, I will appoint Wei Bohu as the commander of Jiaodong Garrison and Wang Chengdong as the current governor. If you have any questions, you can consult the two of them."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

So, these two veteran generals, Wei Bohu and Wang Chengdong, are also here to guard against me.

That makes some sense.

"Your Majesty, I thank you. Long live the Emperor!"

Zheng Feng immediately shouted "Long live the Emperor!" while inwardly filled with contempt: "It seems this cousin of mine was just lucky to become emperor and prime minister. With such a lack of ambition, I should be the emperor!"

Zheng Jun, on the other hand, revealed a half-smile.

Zheng Jun then encouraged his relatives and told them to prepare to set off for their respective destinations.

Inside the Taiji Palace, Zheng Jun watched Zheng Xing and the others leave the hall. After the last figure disappeared through the vermilion palace gate, he lightly waved his sleeve, and the phantom image of the Nine Cauldrons swirled within the hall.

The palace maids and eunuchs retreated like the tide, leaving only Zheng Jun and the Palace Attendant Huiyue waiting outside the palace in the vast Taiji Palace.

"Won't that old geezer from the Xuantian Sect become suspicious?"

Zheng Jun thought to himself: After all, he is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and should not be underestimated.

Perhaps I should find a few helpers to seize the Xuanhuang Realm together.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Jun naturally thought of the Dharma forms in the Jambudvipa world.

The two old dogs, Master Wanfa and Venerable Shennong, have been scheming against me all along. The World Honored One of the Western Regions never comes out of the mountains. The Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is mysterious and elusive. I have no relationship with the Great Sage Burning Heaven.

Moreover, I have certain conflicts of interest with them, so seeking their help is tantamount to aiding the enemy.

and so……

We need to find help from outside.

In the outer heavens, the Jambudvipa Realm, the Xuanhuang Realm, and the Luotian Realm are extremely close.

Zheng Jun immediately thought of the neighboring Luo Tian Realm.

"They were able to find True Lord Fulong before, and they wanted the East Sea ley lines, so they must have lacked such things. It's not unreasonable to ask them to cooperate."

Zheng Jun chuckled softly, his fingertips tracing through the void, and the phantom of a bronze compass appeared behind him. Amidst the intertwining of cauldron patterns and star trails, a crack silently tore open.

This time, he did not use brute force to break through the barrier. The compass needle trembled slightly as it adjusted its position. Compared to the previous brutal breakthrough, the tunnel was now as stable as a meticulously crafted passageway.

Zheng Jun entered it and headed towards Luo Tian Realm.

This time, Zheng Jun descended in his true form and roamed the outer heavens!
Zheng Jun's figure traversed the outer heavens, his body radiating the power of his Dharma form, resisting the erosion of the void turbulence.

Following the cause-and-effect connection, he quickly located the position of the Luo Tian Realm.

After passing through layers of chaos, a vast world appeared before my eyes, with a spiritual energy as rich as that of the Xuanhuang Realm and the Yanfu Realm.

Zheng Jun made no attempt to conceal his aura, transforming directly into a streak of light and descending without restraint!

Upon entering the Luo Tian Realm, Zheng Jun's divine sense swept across the desolate land of the Luo Tian Realm like a tide. On the plains paved with white bones, countless ghosts seemed to sense something and all looked up at the sky.

A rift was torn in the dark clouds, and the radiance of the purple-gold imperial aura and the bronze compass pierced through the eternal night, causing the ghostly blue soul fires in several ghost cities to flicker violently!
This entire Luo Tian Realm is filled with ghosts.

Countless ghosts, equivalent to external forces and those that accumulate energy, roam freely in this land, forcing humans to retreat to county towns and prefectures, afraid to venture out at will.

"This Luo Tian Realm is far too peculiar."

Zheng Jun sighed. In this world, he never expected that humans would be so lowly, their status relative to ghosts roughly equivalent to the difference between humans and demons in the Jambudvipa world.

In the realm of Jambudvipa, humans constitute the majority, while demons occupy only the periphery.

In the Luo Tian Realm, however, ghosts dominate, and humans are in a weaker position.

"Crack!"

Just then, a bone claw the size of a mountain suddenly burst from the ground, its pale knuckles wreathed in crimson blood mist.

Immediately afterwards, three pitch-black thrones emerged from the void, and the figures sitting on them were all shrouded in chaotic mist. Only pairs of eyes, like seeds of ghostly fire, pierced through the void, locking onto Zheng Jun's aura that did not belong to this world.

"The Great Emperor of the Yanfu Realm forced us to retreat last time. Why has he come to my Luotian today? Does he think my Luotian is weak and can be bullied?"

On the far left throne, a gaunt figure draped in tattered imperial robes launched the first attack. With a wave of his hand, thousands of miles of white bones transformed into a monstrous wave, loudly questioning Zheng Jun.

The three of them were the three Great Emperors closest to this place, and their strength was no less than that of the Dharma Aspects of the Jambudvipa Realm.

Zheng Jun stood with his hands behind his back in the void, neither dodging nor flinching at the oncoming wave of bones.

The bronze compass spun rapidly behind him, swallowing up the incoming malevolent aura.

Those bones that touched the compass were instantly weathered away, leaving not a trace.

"I have come today to tell you all some news."

Zheng Jun's voice, like thunder rolling across the wasteland, opened his mouth and said, "Regarding the spiritual veins of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"It won't be long before there is some turmoil in the Xuanhuang Realm. If you are interested, you can come and get a share of the pie when the time comes."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the Skeleton Empress on the right sneered: "Three hundred years ago, those four old thieves from the Taixu Sword Pavilion joined forces to kill a Great Emperor of my realm. Now, you, a mere Dharma Aspect of the Yanfu Realm, also want to stir up trouble?"

Zheng Jun frowned, his purple-gold dragon robe fluttered without wind, and the bronze compass behind him suddenly stopped.

"boom--!"

A surge of purple-gold imperial energy poured down like a pillar from the heavens, instantly crushing the white bone throne beneath the Skeleton Empress into dust!
The empress retreated violently, looking disheveled. Her soul fire trembled violently, and the chaotic mist around her was forcibly torn apart, revealing countless cracks on her white bones.

The empress was somewhat annoyed and was about to unleash a tirade when she saw Zheng Jun put his hands behind his back and stand there, saying, "Believe it or not."

After saying that, Zheng Jun's figure transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky, leaving only a dragon's roar echoing in the eternal night of Luo Tian Realm!

If we don't leave now, the will of Heaven from the Luo Tian Realm will come crashing down on us.

Moreover, Zheng Jun also sensed that the other Great Emperors of the Luo Tian Realm were also surging towards him.

If they all attack together, I might not be able to handle it.
