The First Venerable of All Paths

"Kid, are you threatening us?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shanhe's expression turned extremely ugly.

The others also looked hostile.

This guy is going too far.

"It's not so much a threat as a reminder."

Senior Brother Wan said in a calm tone, "Of course, you can also take it as a threat."

"Bang!"

The Third Elder could no longer contain himself. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Boy, if you dare spout any more nonsense, believe me, I'll slap you to death right now!"

He released his aura, which swept towards Senior Brother Wan.

The Third Elder was at least at the Body Refinement Realm, while Senior Brother Wan, even though he was a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect, was ultimately too weak in cultivation.

Startled by the Third Elder's aura, Senior Brother Wan took several steps back.

"Senior Brother Wan, are you alright?"

Su Yang quickly helped up Senior Brother Wan.

"Get out of here!"

Senior Brother Wan shoved Su Yang aside, coldly staring at the Third Elder, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

"It seems you are determined to oppose my Daoist Sect."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew even more grim.

The other party brought up the Dao Seeking Sect, which put enormous pressure on them.

"I......"

Just as the Third Elder was about to speak, a powerful aura suddenly enveloped the entire council hall.

"Are all disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect so arrogant and domineering?"

As the aged voice rang out, Fang Shanhai strode forward, releasing a powerful aura.

"Elder!"

Upon seeing that it was Fang Shanhai, Fang Shanhe and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Li Shanya felt much more relaxed.

"A master of the Divine Intent Realm?"

Senior Brother Wan's expression changed slightly, but he immediately sneered and said, "How I, the Dao Asking Sect, conduct myself is none of your business."

"But this secret realm has caught the eye of Zhao Shengzi of my Dao Seeking Sect. If you are unwilling to hand it over..."

Senior Brother Wan said in a chilling tone, "Then we'll have to let Holy Son Zhao talk to you."

The moment the name "Zhao Shengzi" was uttered, the atmosphere in the entire hall became even more somber.

Of course they knew who Zhao Shengzi was.

Zhao Qingcang!

The strongest among the younger generation in the entire Dao Seeking Sect.

At such a young age, he had already broken through to the Condensation Realm.

There are even rumors that this person will break through to the Divine Realm within three years.

not to mention.

The status of a Holy Son represents the prestige of a sect.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Zhao Qingcang will become the next sect leader of the Dao Asking Sect.

His status is far greater than that of Senior Brother Wan.

"So what if he's the Holy Son of the Dao Seeking Sect?"

Fang Shanhai said indifferently, "Even if you were the sect leader of the Dao Seeking Sect, if you committed such banditry, you would probably be ridiculed, wouldn't you?"

"you......"

Brother Wan's voice faltered, his eyes turning incredibly gloomy.

He never expected that the Fang family would be so stubborn and unyielding.

"Senior Brother Wan..."

At this moment, Su Yang leaned close to Senior Brother Wan's ear and whispered a few words.

"I see."

Senior Brother Wan nodded knowingly, looked at Fang Shanhai, and smiled sinisterly: "I didn't expect that Fang Yurong would actually be your granddaughter."

Fang Shanhai's eyes sharpened: "So what if it is?"

"Of course I can't do anything to Fang Yurong."

Senior Brother Wan said with a forced smile, "But with just one word from Holy Son Zhao, Fang Yurong will have nowhere to stand in the sect!"

"You dare!"

"You'll see if I dare!"

Senior Brother Wan remained unyielding, looking at Fang Shanhai with a mocking expression: "Old man, I'm already giving you face by being willing to talk to you nicely. If you still won't listen to reason, then you'll have to bear the consequences!"

Sensing the threat in Wan Shixiong's tone, Fang Shanhai took a few deep breaths.

"Brother Shan Hai, if all else fails, let's just give this secret realm to them."

Li Shanya suddenly spoke.

"No matter how important the secret realm is, it's still just an external thing."

His words carried a hint of helplessness, but also a touch of reminder.

Upon hearing this, Fang Shanhai also fell silent.

Whether for the sake of their granddaughter or for the sake of the entire family, the Dao Seeking Sect is someone they cannot afford to offend.

But the Mysterious Realm was conquered by the young master.

He was equally unwilling to just hand it over to someone else.

"Don't worry, I, the Daoist Sect, am not an unreasonable person."

Seeing that he had intimidated Fang Shanhai and the others, Senior Brother Wan said with a smile, "I will tell the Su family not to cause trouble for your Fang family. Consider it payment."

Brother Wan's words immediately caused anger to show on everyone's faces.

That's so humiliating!

Fang Shanhai, who had just suppressed his anger, was about to explode again.

"Boom!"

Just then, thunder roared above the Fang family mansion.

Thick, dark clouds instantly enveloped the entire Fang family residence.

The terrifying power of the heavens caused both Fang Shanhai and Li Shanya, two powerful experts at the Divine Intent Realm, to change their expressions.

"Heavenly Tribulation?"

Senior Brother Wan stared at the thunderclouds in the sky, his pupils suddenly contracting.

As a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect, his vision was even higher than that of powerful experts like Fang Shanhai who were at the Divine Intent Realm.

But it was precisely because of this that Senior Brother Wan was even more shocked.

Heavenly Tribulation.

Only in special circumstances will this occur.

For example, when a martial artist breaks through to the Divine Intent Realm.

But as far as he knew, the Fang family only had one expert at the Divine Intent Realm, Fang Shanhai.

"Snap!"

While everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the thunderclouds, landing directly in the Fang family's backyard.

"Oh no, something's happened in the secret realm!"

Upon seeing the spot where the lightning struck, Fang Shanhai vanished in a flash.

Li Shanya also disappeared along with them.

Fang Shanhe and the others quickly got up and ran to the backyard.

"Let's go take a look!"

Senior Brother Wan gave everyone a wink and followed after them.

The Fang family's backyard.

Above the dry well, array patterns appeared, blocking the falling lightning.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, from within the thunderclouds, an even thicker and more terrifying bolt of lightning, like an angry dragon, crashed viciously down towards the array patterns on the dry well.

"Snap!"

Under the impact of this thunderbolt, the array patterns could no longer hold and shattered on the spot.

The thunder's remaining force poured into the dry well.

"Knock knock knock!"

The entire Fang family mansion was violently shaken as a result.

Countless buildings shook violently.

"Whoosh!"

A figure flashed in mid-air.

Fang Shanhe and Li Shanya appeared at the same time, looking at Lei Ting not far away from them from a distance.

"What happened?"

Li Shanya asked in a deep voice, "Brother Shanhai, what exactly happened in the secret realm?"

"I don't know either."

Fang Shanhai's expression turned solemn as he said, "This tribulation is far more terrifying than when I broke through. Could it be that the Demon Emperor has broken through?"

Even Fang Shanhai didn't know, let alone Li Shanya.

Moreover, wouldn't such a terrifying heavenly tribulation destroy the secret realm?

Fang Shanhe and the others who rushed over all looked extremely worried.

"As expected."

Senior Brother Wan crossed his arms and sneered, "Since ancient times, such blessed places as secret realms have always been inhabited by the virtuous. This secret realm has fallen into the hands of your Fang family, which can only invite divine punishment."

The group ignored Senior Brother Wan's opportunistic remarks and were only worried about whether Fang Xuan and the others in the secret realm would be in trouble.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the thunderclouds did not dissipate; instead, they condensed once again into an even more terrifying long dragon of lightning.

Faintly, a trace of gold was mixed in with this long dragon of thunder.

"This kind of heavenly tribulation..."

Senior Brother Wan gasped in shock, exclaiming, "A golden heavenly tribulation! Even some elders in the sect don't trigger a golden heavenly tribulation when they break through!"

Su Yang asked, "Could a secret treasure have appeared in the secret realm?"

"Secret treasure?"

Senior Brother Wan's eyes lit up.

He knew, of course, that the appearance of certain treasures could indeed trigger a heavenly tribulation.

And how precious is the secret treasure that can trigger the golden heavenly tribulation?

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Wan's eyes immediately turned fiery.

"After the Heavenly Tribulation ends, you will come with me to enter the secret realm to investigate."

Senior Brother Wan said in a low voice, "We are disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect, the Fang family wouldn't dare to do anything!"

"yes!"

The other five disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect immediately agreed upon hearing this.

"Awooo!"

A golden, thunderous dragon roared as it charged into the secret realm.

The terrifying divine might caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

Who can withstand such a calamity?

but.

Just then, a golden-red beam of light shot straight out of the dry well and collided violently with the thunder dragon.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire Qingyang County.

The dazzling light was so bright that no one could open their eyes.

Even after the light faded, the storm of energy in the air remained.

And the dry well still exudes a rich spiritual energy.

"The entrance to the secret realm has opened!"

Senior Brother Wan coldly shouted, "Let's go, follow me into the secret realm!"

"You dare!"

Seeing that Senior Brother Wan and the others were rushing towards the entrance of the secret realm, Fang Shanhai raised his hand, and a spiritual energy palm suddenly fell down, pressing down on the group.

"You old fool, you're asking for it, so don't blame me!"

Just as the spiritual palm was about to land on him, Senior Brother Wan casually tossed out a jade talisman.

From within the jade talisman, a terrifying power suddenly swept out, shattering the spiritual energy palm.

Fang Shanhai was also forced back several steps.

"What?"

Fang Shanhai steadied himself and looked at the jade talisman with a solemn expression.

He sensed that a terrifying being seemed to be hidden within this jade talisman.

"I want this secret realm!"

Senior Brother Wan said arrogantly, "As for you, you can get lost!"

"Arrogant brat, do you really think the Fang family has no one to rely on?"

Fang Shanhai's eyes flashed with a cold light as he formed a hand seal.

"Break it!"

Fang Shanhai let out a cold shout, and a stream of spiritual energy burst forth from his hands, striking the jade talisman fiercely.

"Buzz!"

But the jade talisman only flickered for a moment, and an even more powerful force swept out from it, intercepting Fang Shanhai's stream of spiritual energy.

"How dare a mere ant that has just advanced to the Divine Realm be so insolent before me?"

A majestic voice emanated from the jade talisman.

Immediately afterwards, the jade talisman exploded.

An ethereal old man hovered in mid-air, looking at Fang Shanhai with a cold expression.

"roll!"

The illusory old man let out a cold shout, containing a power as mighty as the heavens, which directly shocked Fang Shanhai, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"This is... a Divine Will Soul Talisman!"

Fang Shanhai stared at the illusory old man with a look of horror on his face, his heart filled with despair.

Divine Soul Talismans can only be created by talisman masters whose cultivation has reached a certain level.

However, the power within this Divine Will Soul Talisman possesses the strength of the third level of Divine Will.

It was far beyond his ability to handle.

"I tried to discuss this with you properly before, but you wouldn't listen."

Senior Brother Wan said coldly, "Now, don't blame me for being impolite!"

This jade talisman was given to him by the Holy Son Zhao to protect his life.

The goal is to conquer this secret realm.

"Kill them!"

The illusory old man nodded and raised his palm to strike Fang Shanhai.

"Brother Shan Hai, be careful!"

Li Shanya's expression changed, and he was about to lend a helping hand.

"Awooo!"

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.

The next moment, a streak of blood-red light suddenly shot out from the dry well.

Sharp claws slammed heavily onto the illusory old man.

"puff!"

With a single blow, half of the old man's body was shattered.

This scene left everyone stunned and speechless.
