Central Plains

A small town not far from the border is called Ningcheng.

In Ningcheng,

A beggar dressed in tattered clothes lay comfortably in a corner of a street, leisurely basking in the sun.

In front of the beggar was a broken bowl, which was empty.

"Alas!"

The beggar suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he let out a soft sigh.

"So it turns out I'm actually the reincarnation of an ancient ancestor..."

The voice has not fallen,

All the pedestrians coming and going on the street, the street vendors, and the people in the shops all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the beggar who had suddenly awakened.

A golden glint flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Looks like I've been revived in a beggar's body today!"

The beggar chuckled.

Hehehe...

The beggar smiled.

All the pedestrians, vendors, shop customers, and others on the street wore smiles.

Even when magnified,

At this moment, no one in Ningcheng noticed anything strange about their situation, and everyone was smiling.

Before the grave, the filial son, dressed in mourning clothes and wailing incessantly, suddenly lost all his grief. His mouth twisted into a wooden grin, tears still clinging to his cheeks, yet the smile remained stiff, a stark contrast that sent chills down one's spine.

In the courtyard, the burly man, whose face was contorted with rage and who was beating and cursing his wife and daughter, suddenly stopped in his rage. His fierce expression turned blank, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

In the study, the scholar, who was holding a book and reciting it while swaying his head, suddenly stopped reading. He smiled, but his eyes remained empty.

In brothels, there are heavily made-up women who sell their smiles and flatter others; on the stage, there are actors who sing, recite, and perform martial arts; on the streets, there are porters who travel far and wide; and at home, there are women who sew and mend.

The entire city's inhabitants, regardless of their status, age, or what they were doing at that moment, all wore the same smile at the same time, yet no one noticed their own strangeness, as if it were perfectly natural.

The beggar's smile vanished.

The next second, the stiff smiles on the faces of all the people in Ningcheng vanished instantly, and everyone returned to normal, as if the bizarre scene had never happened.

Pedestrians continued walking, vendors raised their voices again, the filial son continued to weep on the ground, the burly man still had a violent look on his face, and the scholar began to recite again. Everything returned to its original course, and the bustling city was still noisy.

No one remembered what had just happened, and no one realized that they had been controlled by an invisible force.

Their memories were perfectly accurate; they treated it as just an ordinary moment, completely unaware that they had unknowingly become pawns in someone else's game.

"There's no other way! I have to accept everyone in this city as my followers!"

Wang Sheng slowly stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, looked at the empty, broken bowl in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly.

He needs enough spiritual power to support the progress of cultivating the True Monarch's method.

Only in this way, with the support of hard work and perseverance, can one achieve success in learning and cultivate oneself rapidly.

Previously, in order to evade the soul search of his nemesis, the ancient ancestor, in the forbidden zone, Wang Sheng had no choice but to divide his original soul into countless strands, scattering them throughout the world and hiding them in the sea of ​​consciousness of all living beings.

While this approach would prevent ancient ancestors skilled in tracking the aura of the soul from pinpointing his exact location and completely eliminate the possibility of being tracked and hunted down, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

The fragments of his divine soul after the split were too weak and mixed to support him in operating the True Lord's Dharma, let alone cultivating the True Lord's Dharma with these scattered divine souls.

So Wang Sheng planted a wisp of divine soul deep in the minds of everyone in the city, and then used the mysterious power of the Heavenly Dao to transform this place into a gathering place for souls.

In this way, it seems that his soul is still dispersed among all the people in the city, lurking deep in their consciousness, without showing any signs of activity.

In essence, these countless fragments of the soul have converged into one, forming a large divine soul comparable to the origin, which is enough to support him in cultivating the True Monarch's method with peace of mind. This not only conceals his whereabouts but also solves the problem of insufficient divine soul power.

"Including the methods I practiced before, I have now cultivated nearly four hundred Great Daos!"

"Two-thirds of the techniques obtained from the various forbidden zones remain unpracticed! It's a pity they were discovered ahead of time!"

Wang Sheng thought to himself.

His physical remains have been revealed; he was buried in the Western Barbarian Heavenly Tomb, next to the War Ancestor.

Now it remains to be seen how the ancient ancestors of the world will choose.

Is it to continue coercing Shang Hantian,

They turned around and surrounded the body of the ancient Buddha of the Western Regions buried in the Heavenly Tomb.

As long as they surround and kill his physical body, Wang Sheng cannot sit idly by; he will have no choice but to return to his soul and fight back.

"With the power of four hundred Great Daos, in a one-on-one situation, I should be able to easily kill a peak Ancient Ancestor without the help of others."

"But it's not advisable to reveal our strength too early, lest we incur the hostility and targeting of all the ancient ancestors."

"Once I finish cultivating the remaining two-thirds of the True Lord's Method, I should be able to fearlessly traverse all forbidden zones!"

"Time is of the essence now!"

Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

……

Western barbarians.

The burial ground.

The Heavenly Tomb is the most mysterious forbidden area of ​​the Western Barbarians. It floats in the highest sky above the Western Barbarian continent year-round, hidden in the chaotic void, and is surrounded by layers of ancient restrictions and spatial barriers.

Even a True Monarch with unparalleled cultivation, despite exhausting all means, would find it difficult to locate him, let alone break into him.

Now, on this day.

Seven peerless ancient ancestors, whose auras were overwhelming and whose power could last for eternity, traversed endless territories and descended upon the high skies of the Western Barbarians. They exuded an aura of world destruction, and each of them possessed supreme strength that could shake the heavens and earth and reverse the course of destiny.

Without the slightest hesitation, the seven ancient ancestors joined forces to unleash their primordial power, unleashing a series of unparalleled divine abilities that forcefully pierced through the outer layer of the Heavenly Tomb, the void barrier that even True Monarchs could not shake, and forced their way in.

Rumble...

The Heavenly Tomb, which was originally steadily suspended in the chaotic void, was suddenly invaded by seven ancient ancestors. The entire forbidden area sank violently, as if it had borne a tremendous force, and fell straight down thousands of feet from the void.

Their previously concealed forms were now fully revealed between heaven and earth, exposed in the sky above the Western Barbarian lands, and could no longer hide.

Although all the ancient ancestors of the forbidden zones were paying attention to Shang Hantian, staring at the chosen one named Sima Changfeng.

But there are still people who have their eyes on Wang Sheng!

After discussing with an ancient ancestor from the Cloud Domain and an ancient ancestor from the Immortal Tomb, the Stone Emperor of the Immortal Mine decided to emerge together to besiege and kill Wang Sheng, determined not to give him any more chance to grow.

The Cloud Domain Ancestor, also known as the Ancestor Without Ancestor, was an extremely powerful ancient ancestor. It is said that he only lost to the Human Ancestor once, and had never been defeated before.

Wu Zu was born and surrounded and killed Wang Sheng, unlike Shi Huang, who had a grudge against Wang Sheng.

Rather, he realized that with the emergence of the ancient ancestor of the Immortal Tomb and the appearance of the master of the Emperor's Seal, the most intense era was probably about to begin.

In the near future, there will surely be an opportunity to advance to the next level.

Therefore, Wu Zu believed that it was time to be born.

Therefore, he set his sights on Wang Sheng, wanting to seize Wang Sheng's ancient ancestral essence and physical origin in order to prolong his own lifespan, restore his peak combat power in ancient times, reproduce his former glory, and compete with the heroes of the world for destiny once again!

Immortal Tomb selected one of the eleven ancient ancestors surrounding Han Tian, ​​named Han Zu, to work with Shi Huang and Wu Zu to deal with Wang Sheng.

Han Zu cultivated the Great Dao of Frost and controlled the power of endless ice and water. His supernatural abilities were highly compatible with the laws of heaven and earth of Shanghan Tian.

If they stayed in Shang Hantian to participate in the siege, they would not only be unable to exert their full strength, but would also be suppressed by the luck of Shang Hantian, making it difficult to achieve anything.

Therefore, the Immortal Tomb made a decisive move, drawing him out to join the team besieging Wang Sheng, so as to maximize his combat power.

The Stone Emperor, the Ancestor Without Birth, and the Ancestor Cold are all at the peak of the Ancient Ancestor level, almost identical to the setup used by Wang Sheng and others to besiege the Fire Ancestor.

Logically speaking, an ordinary peak-level Ancient Ancestor, when surrounded and attacked by three of the same level, would surely be caught in a fierce battle, or even perish.

And this time,

Because the Western Tathagata Ancestor they were dealing with was no ordinary being, the Stone Emperor and the other two also invited the Serpent Ancestor of the North Sea and the Water Ancestor of the Weak Sea from the Eight Seas.

Then, the newly enlightened Feng Zu of the Western Barbarian Lands and the Southern Unlawful Ancient Ancestor of the Southern Wilderness both volunteered to join the battle.

This brought together the seven ancient ancestors, who descended upon the Heavenly Tomb.

Feng Zu, also known as Nanfa Wutian Ancient Ancestor, was an early-stage Ancient Ancestor and not considered anything special.

But the other five are all ancient figures at the peak of the Ancient Ancestor level!

Five peak-level Ancient Ancestors ganged up on one, with two early-stage Ancient Ancestors assisting from the side. With this lineup, it shouldn't be too difficult to suppress an Ancient Ancestor of the same level.

At the very least, one must kill him so that he is reincarnated, or severely damage his foundation.

This is the bottom line for Shi Huang and his associates.

"You've gone too far!"

In the celestial burial ground, a sleeping ancient ancestor uttered a cold shout.

This is an ancient, unparalleled master named Zangzu.

Burying Ancestor was definitely a prodigy in ancient times, after all, an ancient ancestor who could prove his identity must have been extraordinary.

However, its combat strength is not particularly remarkable among all the ancient ancestors.

The key is the mystery and uniqueness of ancestor burial, which requires burying oneself in the grave to cultivate, and the longer one stays there, the stronger one becomes.

Therefore, his strength was not apparent in ancient times. But in this era, the Burial Ancestor has been asleep for three eras, and his strength has also increased during his slumber. Who knows what his strength is now?

Some say that this ancestor of burial is now almost identical to the ancestor of humanity.

The method of burying ancestors is extremely profound, but the conditions for cultivation are too harsh, requiring an extremely long period of time to settle down.

This also made the other ancient ancestors have no fear of him, since no one would care about an opponent who needed to sleep for countless years to become stronger.

The practice of burying ancestors is the origin of the concept of "heavenly burial grounds".

The War Ancestor, in ancient times, thought the Heavenly Tomb was a good place, so he forcibly invaded and occupied a part of the sleeping area.

When Wang Sheng's body is buried here, there's no need to break in.

Zang Zu was hoping to remain asleep as long as possible, so when he saw that the barrier he had set up could not stop Wang Sheng, he became too lazy to bother with it and let him be buried inside.

The ancestor burial did not imply any intention to report other restricted areas.

Because Wang Sheng said that if anyone dared to report him, he would rather die than let the Heavenly Tomb be destroyed, forcing the Ancestor out of his slumber and breaking the mystery of his power-enhancing abilities.

now,

The seven ancient ancestors descended upon the Heavenly Tomb, nearly pulling it down from the sky, and immediately awakened the Burial Ancestor.

"Fellow Daoists, we have come here solely for the sake of the Ancient Ancestor Tathagata of the Western Pole!"

The Stone Emperor looked into the depths of the Heavenly Tomb and saw an inconspicuous little grave, and solemnly said.

"Fellow Daoist, they're here! Go and deal with them!"

"As agreed, you need to fight outside."

"If you, fellow cultivator, do not keep your promise, then this monster will not be polite!"

The ancestor in the small grave spoke coldly, his divine soul power descending upon the mound of Wang Sheng's body.

Click!

The grave mound cracked open.

Immediately afterwards, the dazzling golden light that illuminated the entire Heavenly Tomb burst forth wildly from the crack. The golden light was vast and majestic, and wherever it passed, the yin energy and evil energy in the Heavenly Tomb instantly dissipated, and the void was rendered clear by the golden light.

Rumble...

A perfectly robust and imposing body, dressed in a golden robe, rose upright from the mound of graves.

Every inch of this body exudes terrifying pressure.

He slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant,

Heaven and earth are upside down, the sun and moon are reversed.

The seven ancient ancestors were instantly struck, and a chaotic and upside-down scene appeared before their eyes.

bang bang bang...

The seven ancient ancestors were immediately sent flying backwards, flying out of the Heavenly Tomb.

Wang Sheng's body still had a somewhat stiff expression. He slowly lifted his foot and strode out.

The remaining soul in this body is too little to be of any real fighting power.

"West Pole! You dare to be so violent even when you're about to die! Kill you!"

Enraged, the Stone Emperor conjured an ancient ancestral spear. With a single thrust, the void shattered and time stood still.

"Certainly!"

With a flick of his finger, the Cold Ancestor unleashed boundless cold power, freezing the entire void and denying Wang Sheng any chance to teleport.

The other Water Ancestors, Snake Ancestors, and Wuzu, among others, took turns attacking and engaged in fierce battle with Wang Sheng's body.

In less than half a day,

Wang Sheng's body became covered in blood.

"It seems even the ancient ancestor of the Western Paradise, Tathagata, will one day die, hahahaha!"

The Ancient Ancestor of the Southern Wilderness, who had attained enlightenment there, laughed heartily.

He also experienced the terrifying years when the ancient ancestor Tathagata of the Western Paradise spent sixty days subduing demons in the Southern Wilderness.

The ancient ancestor Tathagata of the Western Pole was like a nightmare to him.

During the demon-slaying, he felt that several times, the places he was hiding might have been discovered by the ancient ancestor Tathagata of the Western Extremes.

However, the ancient patriarch Tathagata of the Western Regions never appeared.

This allowed the Ancient Ancestor Nanfa to survive by sheer luck, and with the support of the Immortal Tomb behind him, he was able to rise rapidly and recreate the divine might of the Ancient Ancestor.

Nanfatian Ancient Ancestor was still laughing, but he didn't realize that a golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Wang Sheng is a Divine Dao Saint King, and among the ancient ancestors in the realm of divine souls, he is currently the strongest.

"I feel like his aura is getting stronger little by little?"

Wu Zu frowned slightly.

He was a little unsure.

In fact, Wang Sheng's soul was indeed gradually returning to his body.

Given his current strength and the profound mysteries he employs such as the Hidden Path and the Wrong Path, it's truly remarkable that even Wu Zu could detect a trace of them.

unfortunately,

Now that things have come to this, even if Wang Sheng's aura is indeed getting stronger little by little, he can only continue to kill; there is no way out.

"We'll delay it as long as we can!"

In Ningcheng, beggar Wang Sheng frowned slightly.

He didn't want to directly reveal his strength and decisively defeat Shi Huang and his group. That would undoubtedly be helping Sima Changfeng out of a predicament, drawing fire and hatred towards them.

Therefore, Wang Sheng simply allowed his soul to slowly return to his body, using his profound abilities to ensure that the body would not die.

Ten days,

Passed by.

High in the western sky,

The eight ancient ancestors were still locked in a standoff and fighting.

Wang Sheng is stalling for time.

Shi Huang and the others were also stalling for time, hoping to wear down Wang Sheng by using a war of attrition.

but on the other hand,

It's cold weather,

The major restricted areas, however, have lost patience.

They were about to force their way in, open the Shanghantian Gate, and drag Sima Changfeng out to see for themselves.

"When I return, everything will be settled!"

Sima Changfeng committed suicide.

His cold and ruthless voice traveled to the far reaches of the heavens, echoing in the ears of many ancient ancestors.

He can collaborate with Shang Hantian as a partner.

But he would never be toyed with like a monkey by the various restricted areas!

"What arrogance! The chosen one? So strong? He still committed suicide in front of us!"

"What?! It can't be his reincarnation! He's not even a True Lord yet, how could that be?!"

"Even our ancient ancestors couldn't have predicted this if it weren't for the True Lord. Truly a chosen one of Heaven!"

"This person is too decisive, it's terrifying!"

"Shang Hantian, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

……

The ancient ancestors of the forbidden zone were all shocked and enraged after they sensed Sima Changfeng's suicide and reincarnation.

After a quick discussion, they decided that they still needed Shang Hantian to give them an explanation.

Otherwise, this matter is not over.

They need to find Sima Changfeng's reincarnation!

the other side,

As Sima Changfeng could no longer withstand the pressure exerted by the Forbidden Zone Ancestor and the Upper Cold Heaven Ancestor, he decisively committed suicide.

It's a pity he was born into this world. He clearly had the potential to become a True Lord and soar freely in the sky.

But it was ruined by a few words from the Buddha of the Western Paradise!

This made Sima Changfeng hate the Western Buddha to the extreme.

He had never hated anyone so intensely before! Never!

Sima Changfeng was born again.

In this reincarnation, he actually became the newly promoted ancient ancestor of the Northern Barbarians, the direct son of the Northern Ancestor!

……

"Is the fighting still going on over there?"

"How long are they planning to drag this out? Since Sima Changfeng can't be found for the time being, let's send a few more ancient ancestors to besiege and kill the Western Tathagata!"

After the ancient ancestors of the Immortal Tomb outside the Cold Heaven finished their discussion, they dispatched five ancient ancestors, either at the late stage or peak, to support the Cold Ancestor and others in besieging and killing the Western Tathagata.

Above the Western Barbarians

Wang Sheng, who was pretending to be locked in a fierce battle with Shi Huang and the others, and was utterly exhausted, suddenly straightened up when he sensed the arrival of five more ancient ancestors from the Immortal Tomb. His disheveled appearance abruptly transformed into a calm and composed demeanor, and his lifeless eyes became extremely sharp and cold.

"I originally planned to interact with you as an ordinary ancient ancestor, but it seems that won't work now!"

"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!"

In the depths of the minds of every citizen in Ningcheng, countless fragments of Wang Sheng's soul, which had been lurking there, suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light.

Across the five regions and eight seas, in every corner and secret realm, Wang Sheng's scattered billions of divine souls simultaneously awakened, transforming into countless ethereal and incredibly fast beams of divine soul light that broke through the barriers of heaven and earth, frantically converging towards the high skies of the Western Barbarians.

Countless divine soul powers, like ten thousand streams flowing into the sea, surged into Wang Sheng's golden body.

In an instant, Wang Sheng's aura and pressure surged wildly at a speed that defied the rules of heaven and earth!

Shi Huang, Han Zu, Wu Zu, and others all had drastic changes in expression, their eyes filled with horror!

Even before reaching the Northern Barbarian Upper Cold Heaven, numerous ancient ancestors and their avatars, including the ancient ancestors within the Upper Cold Heaven Immortal Palace,

At that moment, they sensed something and suddenly turned their heads, their cold and sinister gazes falling on the Western Tathagata Ancestor above the Western Barbarians!
