Zhao Yinglan, who was at the side, revealed a hint of a smile. However, she was actually feeling elated. The great achievement of unifying the Sacred Sect’s seven paths was finally accomplished in her hands. Moreover, she even managed to fawn over Fang Xingjian.
Right now, the entire Illusory Emotions Path was extremely glad over their choice. This might turn out to be the best decision that they would ever make in their life.
However, Fang Xingjian frowned slightly and abruptly raised his head, looking eastward.
Just as his gaze penetrated through the void space that was several hundred kilometers away, a spatial ripple was slowly dissipating.
At Tianyun Mountain 1
 in Middle-earth.


This mountain was like a heavenly pillar that pierced through the clouds. The higher regions were all encompassed by layers of stacking white clouds. This was the location of the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ Tianyun Sect—the Tianyun Mountain.
On an empty land in Tianyun Mountain, a black spatial crack suddenly appeared, and Xiao Shen’s figure darted out with a flash.
He managed to use his ability to shatter space and traverse several thousand kilometers, escaping back to Tianyun Mountain. Yet his face was still ghastly pale, and there were hints of shock and horror in his eyes.
‘He noticed me.’
Until now, he still felt a deep pain as if his body was pierced by countless sharp swords.
‘He’s able to kill me. Why didn’t he do it?’
The terror of being extremely close to death still continued to seethe in Xiao Shen’s body. At this moment, he suddenly had a realisation.
‘This Fang Xuan is probably even more terrifying than Marie.’
Right now, two old men—who appeared to have a celestial air and appeared lean, dignified, and elegant—were standing next to Xiao Shen.
The two of them seemed to be integrated with the world around them. Tiangang Qis descending from the sky and Disha Qis gushing out from the earth, flowing into their bodies incessantly.


These two old men were the Supreme Elders from the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ Tianyun Mountain and Wanshou Mountain 2
 . They were also the strongest experts in the Three Mountains Four Peaks, as well as Xiao Shen’s teachers who had taught him martial arts from a young age.
The old man from Tianyun Mountain was called Qian Huang. He was a top-notch expert whose great reputation had spread across the world for over 100 years. In the past, he was seen as the strongest expert in Middle-earth—the number one character amongst the righteous sects in Middle-earth. He was an uncrowned king, the person who ranked at the top of the righteous paths.
Ru Zi, the other old man who came from the Wanshou Mountain, was someone who did not have much reputation in the pugilistic world. However, Xiao Shen understood well just how terrifying this person was. The man possessed longevity Gang Qis that he had cultivated for 100 years, and he could be said to have the world’s best internal arts cultivation.
Of course, with Fang Xuan’s and Marie’s appearances, the ranking of these two men being at the top of the world was no longer guaranteed. Despite that, they were still top-notch experts of the world.
Moreover, unlike the disintegrated Demon Sect, the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ legacy had been passed down completely. They even had a foundation of several centuries in Middle-earth, possessing many trump cards which could be brought out in critical moments.
Their legacy concerning the Great Dao’s Testimony was complete. Moreover, not only did they have the Great Dao’s Testimony that was left behind by the Great Dao Realm expert from the Three Mountains Four Peaks in the past, but they had also gathered the legacies and Great Dao’s Testimonies left behind by some other Great Dao Realm experts.
Seeing Xiao Shen returning in a battered state, Qian Huang asked,
How was it? Did you not find Blood Sea?
In order to deal with Marie who had risen up strongly, they had planned on joining forces with the Demon Sect this time around.
One reason was so that they could strengthen themselves and increase the chances of winning.
Another reason was that during the recent years, the heaven-blessed cultivator Blood Sea had kept on growing rapidly both in his strength and influence. Like Marie, Blood Sea had also become a great threat to the Three Mountains Four Peaks. It would be for the best if they could let Blood Sea and Marie fight and wear each other out.
Hearing his question, Xiao Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head,
By the time I rushed over, Blood Sea had already led five Tiangang Realm experts to launch an attack on the Illusory Emotions Path. However, Fang Xuan suddenly appeared.




Fang Xuan?!
Qian Huang exclaimed.
That young Emperor from the Divine Capital? Why was he at the Serene Mountain?
He frowned.
Marie went as well?
In his recognition, only Marie— who had suddenly appeared—had the capabilities of interfering with the Demon Sect’s internal strife.

Marie didn’t go.
Xiao Shen let out a bitter laugh.
But Fang Xuan is probably even more terrifying than Marie.

Seeing the duo’s doubtful gazes, Xingjian shared everything he had seen earlier. Fang Xingjian had suppressed Blood Sea with great ease and then transmitted the Demon Sovereign’s Great Dao’s Testimony into Blood Sea. After that, a world-shaking battle took place.
Upon hearing about these things, the two old men from the Three Mountains Four Peaks revealed a hint of astonishment. When they heard the shocking story, their hearts wavered as well.

You said that Blood Sea has gathered the seven parts of the Demon Sect’s Great Dao’s Testimony and obtained the complete legacy that the Demon Sovereign had back then?
Qian Huang asked solemnly.

That’s right,
Xiao Shen nodded and said,
He collected the complete set of the Demon Sect’s Great Dao’s Testimony. With a single thought, he turned the area within a range of several hundred lis into a stretch of blood sea, dissolving the entire Serene Mountain…


Such remarkable skills…
Qian Huang sighed and said,
The Demon Sovereign’s legacy has the effect of converting physical matter. Blood Sea’s remarkable skill is probably comparable to the Demon Sovereign’s from back then.


And then Fang Xuan broke Blood Sea’s demonic art?
Ru Zi quickly asked.

That’s right. He performed a technique that produced a great palm imprint. It’s very similar to the one that Marie performed. With a single palm attack, its force covered a range of 100 lis…

After hearing Xiao Shen share about the world-shattering battle, the duo’s emotions kept on fluctuating.



Fang Xuan…
Qian Huang’s brows furrowed tightly. This old man, whose reputation had spread across the world for over 100 years and who was ranked at the top within the righteous sect, now appeared very worried.
As the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ leader, he was unwilling to see the rise of a powerful imperial court.
The imperial court and the pugilistic world had a relationship where if one became powerful and prosperous, the other would become weak and fall into a decline.
He could already begin to imagine that if Fang Xuan managed to stabilize his stance, clear up the world, and re-unify the central, the Great Jin Dynasty would probably welcome another prosperous era once again.
The imperial court’s prosperity signified the pugilistic world’s decline. No emperor would be able to allow the pugilistic world to continue surviving for very long when it was an existence beyond their control. Moreover, this existence also held the world’s most top-notch martial prowess.
This was the unresolvable contradiction between the pugilistic world that the Three Mountains Four Peaks represented and the imperial court.

We can’t afford to hesitate anymore,
Ru Zi said.
If this carries on and Fang Xuan really starts to thrive, we probably will not be able to deal with him even if we wish to do so.

Qian Huang did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Xiao Shen and asked,
Shen`er, what do you think?

Xiao Shen said with resolve and decisiveness,
Mobilize all of our resources and contact various sects from across the world. We’ll amass the most powerful force within the shortest period of time and take down Fang Xuan with one blow. The world doesn’t need an Emperor like him.


That’s right,
Qian Huang seemed to have made up his mind as he said slowly,
Bring out all the Great Dao’s Testimonies in the treasury. We’ll fight it out with Fang Xuan. It’s meaningless if we aren’t at the Great Dao Realm.



It’s just that if people who aren’t heaven-blessed cultivators use the Great Dao’s Testimony forcibly, they’ll probably only be left with seven to eight years of their lifespan.

Heaven-blessed cultivators were favored by destiny. They were the only existences that would not experience any side effects after integrating with the Great Dao’s Testimony.
