Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

On the East China Sea, fleets confront each other.

On a deserted island, a group of people are gathered together.

This group of people included people of all ages and genders, all dressed in modern casual wear.

One of them had brightly colored hair and an extremely ugly face. He looked at the young man in the lead and cackled, "Zhao Yuan, when are we leaving? Are we just going to stand here and watch?"

He was extremely wary of Zhao Yuan.

This Zhao Yuan is a person from the "Heavenly Path" within the Six Paths Demonic Sect. Even within the Six Paths Demonic Sect, the "Heavenly Path" is extremely mysterious, and the other paths know very little about it.

The entire Six Paths Demonic Sect has a long history, appearing frequently throughout the millions of years of cultivation history.

Many shocking events have the involvement of "Heavenly Dao" behind them.

The young man named Zhao Yuan had an ordinary appearance, but as a cultivator, he also possessed an extraordinary aura.

He looked at the ugly man who had spoken and said with a smile, "Today, three of the Six Paths Demonic Sect members have come together. It is truly a pleasant surprise that we are working together."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice that was neither male nor female came from beside him.

"Hmph, I don't care if you're surprised or not. For this opportunity, we at 'Humanity' have exposed quite a few of our lurking people, creating this chance for you."

"Although I have not taken on any other disciples, I have made considerable contributions to humanity, and what I have received must be satisfactory to us."

This man, who spoke in a manner neither male nor female, was short in stature, and his face seemed to have a thousand faces, constantly changing.

One moment he is like a child, the next like a strong man, and then like an old man. This is a symbol of having successfully cultivated the "human way" technique.

Zhao Yuan held this humane cultivator in high esteem and cupped his hands, saying, "If Senior Tang has said so, then this junior will naturally comply."

The ugly-faced man urged, "Alright, enough talk, let's hurry up to the Heavenly Palace, or someone will get there first!"

Behind him were several men and women, all with respectful expressions; they were likely his disciples or followers.

This ugly man belongs to the "Asura Path" of the Six Paths of Demonic Cultivation. If one cultivates this path successfully, one can forge the "Asura Body".

Those who cultivate this Asura Body become incredibly ugly if they are men, and stunningly beautiful if they are women.

"Since the Ugly Taoist says so, let's not delay any longer and head straight to the Heavenly Palace!"

After all,

Zhao Yuan took the lead, forming hand seals, and used magic to fly towards the heavenly palace that was gradually becoming real.

The others quickly followed.

Ugly Taoist didn't care about Zhao Yuan's way of addressing him, since that was his real name.

He was also an oddball in the Asura realm.

The other practitioners of the Asura realm hate nothing more than others saying that they are ugly. If someone says that, it is a matter of life and death.

But the ugly Taoist priest was the opposite; instead of being saddened by his ugliness, he was smug and proud of it.

As they approached the heavenly palace, everyone felt an immense pressure bearing down on them.

Zhao Yuan whispered, "Everyone, stay close to me. Although this is a side hall of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, it also has nine layers of formations and nine gates."

"If we accidentally enter this place, under the crushing force of the formation, we will have no weapons or treasures, and we are only at the Outer Realm. We may not survive."

Both the ugly Taoist and the androgynous Senior Tang were startled and followed Zhao Yuan, watching him fly in a mysterious way, entering the Immortal Palace without triggering any formations.

After passing through the first palace gate, a bright and open view suddenly appeared before me.

Within the celestial palace, a winding path paved with glazed tiles stretches forward, its surface as smooth as a mirror.

It was late at night, and the moonlight shone through, reflecting the shadows of the clouds and the light of the sky.

On both sides of the passageway, there are white jade railings carved with lifelike mythical birds and beasts.

Further away, rays of light shone everywhere, and the misty fog was like a veil, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. There was also a wonderful fragrance in the air that made one's mouth water.

Aside from the few disciples of the Asura Path who were amazed by the beautiful scenery of the celestial palace, the three leaders were indifferent.

They were all great cultivators before their reincarnations, so while such a sight was rare, it wasn't entirely unheard of.

What made them greedy was the rich spiritual energy in this celestial palace, which was much stronger than that of Blue Star, where spiritual energy had just recovered.

The ugly Taoist glanced at Zhao Yuan and said in surprise, "Your knowledge of formations is quite impressive, kid. You managed to bring us in so easily."

Even the ever-changing Senior Tang looked at him in astonishment.

Zhao Yuan gave a wry smile: "This is why Heaven sent me here."

"Before my reincarnation, I was an outer disciple of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect. I stayed here for a period of time and am very familiar with the formations and restrictions here."

Senior Tang exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually an outer disciple of the Primordial Great Luo Sect from the ancient times? Then we should call you senior."

The ancient heavens, in the eyes of the cultivation world, belong to the ancient era.

Zhao Yuan shook his head: "We cultivators value strength above all else. When I passed away, I had only barely entered the Dao Lord realm, unlike the two of you who had cultivated in the Dao Lord realm for so long."

The ugly Taoist interrupted, "Alright, let's stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go deeper in to take a look."

"Since this is the Daoist temple of the Primordial Great Luo Sect in ancient times, even if it is just a side hall, it should contain a lot of elixirs or magical treasures."

"These things are hard currency in the cultivation world today."

There's no way around it; the spiritual energy in the cultivation world of Blue Star has only just begun to recover, and they're simply too poor.

"Then everyone stay close to me."

Zhao Yuan led the way, and the others quickly followed.

The group quickly crossed three doors, and Zhao Yuan said, "I am very familiar with the restrictions and formations here, and Senior Sister Lou is even more familiar with this place."

"She was the only true disciple that my master accepted. After the ancient heaven shattered, she was known as the number one sword immortal in the world. She has also been reincarnated."

Both the Ugly Taoist and Senior Tang were well aware of this news.

The ugly Taoist sneered, "If the number one sword immortal in the world were in her prime in the Taiqing Realm, I would kneel down and call her 'Grandma'."

"But the Great Dao is incomplete now, and everyone's highest realm is only the Outer Realm. None of us possess 'Supreme Dao Weapons' or magic treasures, so why should we fear her?"

Everyone thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

Currently, everyone's cultivation level is capped at the Outer Realm, and they cannot rely on external forces such as magic weapons. In a sense, everyone is starting from the same point.

Regardless of whether you were the Dao Lord or Taiqing in your past life, we are all at the same level now, so why should I be afraid of you?

Even Zhao Yuan was relieved.

Now, I am not without the ability to fight back and contend with that Senior Sister Lou!

Many members of the Six Paths Demonic Sect crossed nine gates and finally arrived at the core of this celestial palace.

In front of the main hall was a plaza for discussing Taoist principles, where a woman and an old Taoist priest were standing.

Upon seeing these two, both the Ugly Taoist and Senior Tang narrowed their eyes, saying they didn't care, but they dared not underestimate the methods of the Taiqing Realm, even though they were currently at the outer realm.

Lou Guanxue and Daoist Xuanwei had only just arrived. Noticing their arrival, Lou Guanxue turned around and said softly, "You didn't activate any of the formations?"

Upon seeing this second sect leader of the Primordial Great Luo Sect, the number one sword immortal in the world after the shattering of the ancient heaven, many members of the demonic path were shocked.

It wasn't because of her imposing presence, but because of her beauty.

She was like a goddess on the Luo River, her white dress fluttering in the wind, exuding indescribable comfort, elegance, and composure.

The moonlight fell from the sky, perfectly framing her face and bathing her in its gentle glow, further highlighting her exquisite features that seemed to be born of the spirit of heaven and earth, making her irresistibly beautiful.

She was truly a beauty beyond words; not merely "glamorous" or "beautiful," but possessed a purity and clarity like "a mountain after a fresh rain."

Even if the cultivation world is not lacking in beauties, seeing this woman is enough to make anyone feel amazed.

A hint of admiration flashed in Zhao Yuan's eyes.

He never imagined that one day he would see his senior sister again, and see the dream of his life again.

He politely cupped his hands and said, "Senior Sister Lou, I was once an outer disciple of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, and I am very familiar with the restrictions and formations here."

Lou Guanxue glanced at him, seemingly lost in thought: "I think I've seen you before."

Back then, our master taught without discrimination, regardless of sectarian differences. Anyone who came to the Yuanshi Daluo Sect could listen to his teachings.

At that time, there were many members of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, but Lou Guanxue was focused on practicing swordsmanship and could not get to know everyone.

Zhao Yuan suppressed his admiration and said casually, "It is truly an honor for me to have something to remember, Senior Sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth and sky suddenly shook.

As people were still in surprise, they saw nine illusory doors suddenly rise up, blocking their way one by one.

Upon seeing this, those present exclaimed in unison, "Has someone forced their way in?"

In a mere instant, an unimaginable, terrifying aura swept across the world, and the overwhelming imperial might suppressed the entire realm. The first gate was completely shattered.

The magical power surged to the heavens, like the earth, water, fire, and wind surging forth, with various divine colors illuminating the sky, and countless magical techniques suddenly appearing.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the person had broken through eight doors and arrived at the last one.

This last door finally made the visitor stop.

Everyone in the square watched silently, knowing that this last door would not be able to stop the person coming.

"boom------"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, and immense magical power surged forth like a tidal wave, causing the entire celestial palace to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

The last door finally shattered.

Under everyone's gaze, a woman dressed in a purple dress and embroidered palace attire descended like a fairy from the heavens, gracefully landing in front of them, her unparalleled aura sweeping over them.

For a time, the square was divided into three factions.

Lou Guanxue stared solemnly at the woman who had suddenly appeared, and said with a pure and unadulterated voice, "The Empress of Great Yan truly lives up to her reputation. Even these nine gates have been broken through one by one by you."

Jiang Zhi remained aloof and arrogant, saying calmly, "If this celestial palace were in the ancient times, with my current level of magical power, I would be helpless against it."

"But once it entered this world, it too was bound by the Great Dao. Those array formations and restrictions are merely at the Outer Realm level; how much can they possibly stop this Emperor?"

She looked Lou Guanxue up and down a few times, then nodded and said, "You are the one who was known as the number one sword immortal in the world after the ancient heavens shattered? You are truly a rare beauty."

Although this Empress of Great Yan was alone, she exerted the greatest pressure on everyone present.

undoubtedly,

This empress, who has received the fortune and destiny of the Chinese nation, is the strongest among everyone present!

Lou Guanxue, being of a tranquil nature, paid no heed to the provocation and mockery in Jiang Zhi's words, and simply said gently, "Now that there are so many people here, how are we going to divide the things in this side hall?"

At this time,

A light, melodious voice came from the sky: "Since we are all cultivators, let us determine the winner and loser based on our strength, and decide who will receive the opportunity."

Everyone's expression changed.

They didn't even realize there were other people here!

Everyone quickly looked up and saw a man standing with his back to all living beings at the highest point of the celestial palace.

Qin Zijun stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the full moon 380,000 kilometers away, seemingly lamenting the waxing and waning of the moon, or perhaps recalling the joys and sorrows of life.

This person is definitely not simple; he was able to remain undetected by so many people present, including cultivators who had reached the Taiqing Realm in their previous lives!

Jiang Zhi's eyes, usually as cold and indifferent as a thousand-year-old icy pool, revealed a solemn expression.

The old Taoist Xuanwei's smile faded.

The others were equally wary, except for Lou Guanxue and Zhao Yuan, who stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar back with disbelief in their eyes.

The ugly Taoist priest chuckled and shouted, "And who are you? What are you doing, playing tricks on us? Why don't you turn around and let us see you? Are you too ugly to show your face?"

His words were hilarious; if anyone was to say who was the ugliest person here, it would definitely be him.

The young man standing atop the celestial palace was not angry; he was extremely well-mannered and possessed an astonishing demeanor.

"You ask who I am?"

The man chuckled softly, his back to the crowd, and said leisurely, "I am 'Heaven,' the Primordial Great Luo Heaven!"
