Di Xuansha stared in astonishnt at the scene before him, his eyes filled with an unusual expression.
What was that creature just now? Right, the last ti Zhong Shan severed the earth vein of Sky Wolf Island, that creature had appeared once. It was just a phantom last ti, but this ti it had ford a solid body?
The power just now, eight tails weaving through space, creating ripples that annihilated everything within three hundred thousand miles—what kind of ability is this?
Di Xuansha could achieve sothing like this, but what about Zhong Shan? What level of cultivation does he have now? How could he do this too? This was sothing only those at the Heavenly Extre Realm could do!
How did that creature enter Zhong Shan's body?
Moreover, Zhong Shan's cultivation, the Emperor Extre Realm, the tenth level?
Advancing five levels in a row?
Di Xuansha's face twitched again. This wasn't just hard work in cultivation; this speed was more terrifying than the best foundation of an upper-level being. Was this still the so-called inferior foundation that was beyond salvage?
Di Xuansha was full of doubts but also excitent. The stronger Zhong Shan beca, the better it would be for the future of the Wolf Clan.
Below, Zhong Shan stood in mid-air, slightly stunned as he looked at the destruction caused by the Eight Extre Tails.
Zhong Shan did not seek out Di Xuansha but looked into the distance. The red lotus in the middle of his brows transmitted another wave of red and green energy into Zhong Shan's eyes.
Suddenly, the world in Zhong Shan's eyes changed, filled with endless, boundless rules of heaven and earth spreading in all directions.
These rules were grayish-white in color.
Suddenly, Zhong Shan's eyes lit up as he saw a special pattern.
Red, a red pattern?
At the mont he saw that red pattern, Zhong Shan suddenly felt a surge of fiery intent rushing into his mind, shaking his spirit. It was more overwhelming than all the rules combined. A unique red pattern.
However, this red pattern disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Zhong Shan's heart was filled with indescribable shock. What was that?
Grayish-white rules were only visible and did not affect his spirit, but that red pattern made his heart pound wildly.
What was it?
A law!
That was not a rule pattern; it was a law pattern!
The laws of heaven and earth, the true source of power!
Was that a law?
Zhong Shan's heart was filled with endless excitent. Laws—one must know that in the Lesser Thousand World, only those at the Heavenly Extre Realm could touch a hint of the law. Just touching a hint of the law allowed them to unfold their own "heaven."
The Emperor Extre Realm could at most sense the rules and could not fully comprehend them, yet in front of Zhong Shan were actual rule patterns, patterns that even those at the Heavenly Extre Realm could not see so clearly. Zhong Shan could even occasionally see a few strands of law patterns.
The source of power, the laws—what Zhong Shan saw just now was a fire law.
"Hoo—"
Not far away, a blue pattern suddenly appeared, flashing past Zhong Shan's side and disappearing into the distance. A surge of water power swept toward Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan shivered. A water law?
The shock and joy in Zhong Shan's heart reached an infinite height. One must know that even the most powerful Heavenly Extre Realm experts could only grasp a sliver of a single type of law, yet the laws in Zhong Shan's eyes seed limitless?
Quickly, he closed his eyes.
Zhong Shan took a deep breath, calming himself.
Hongluan Scripture, seventh level! Breaking illusions!
Too terrifying, too defying of the natural order—he could even see laws flickering?
"What happened?" Di Xuansha descended and asked.
Zhong Shan cald himself, slowly opened his eyes, now serene, and shook his head. "Nothing. Let's return to Sky Wolf Island."
Di Xuansha had a thousand questions to ask, but seeing Zhong Shan, he took a deep breath and suppressed them.
If he didn't understand now, he would witness Zhong Shan's power in the future firsthand.
A year and a half later, in Qingzhou, at Yi Yan's residence.
A group of strategists stood before Yi Yan. These were the talents who had erged from Da An's imperial examinations over the past few decades. They were distributed across the realm, with a group assigned under Yi Yan.
Yi Yan, a man of great wisdom, naturally did not belittle the young. As long as they displayed virtue and intelligence, Yi Yan would entrust them with important tasks.
Tie Xue stood in front of this group, looking at Yi Yan, waiting for him to speak.
Yi Yan held a letter in his hand, reading it with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Sir, what good news has His Majesty brought?" Tie Xue asked.
Tie Xue, having studied under Yi Yan in the arts of strategy and power, naturally addressed Yi Yan as "Sir."
"There are two pieces of good news. First, the Da An Dynasty has added two more legion commanders: the seventh legion commander, Yan Chongzhi, and the eighth legion commander, Zhao Suoxiang," Yi Yan said with a smile.
"Two more? Where did His Majesty find these people? Can they match Sir?" Tie Xue clicked his tongue in a defiant manner.
"His Majesty's judgnt is naturally infallible. Tie Xue, don't speak nonsense!" Yi Yan's face turned serious.
"Yes!" Tie Xue replied, though still a bit unwilling.
Seeing Tie Xue's stubbornness, Yi Yan shook his head with a light laugh.
"Marshal, what's the second piece of good news?" another person asked.
"The second piece of good news is that our Da An Dynasty is preparing to advance to an empire!" Yi Yan announced.
Indeed, upon hearing this news, almost everyone was overjoyed. They were not only happy about the strength of the Da An Dynasty but also about the promotion of their own ranks.
Although their official positions remained the sa, the shift in the empire's status would significantly increase their share of the dynasty's fortune.
"Marshal, what do we need to do?" soone asked excitedly.
"Start preparing. Advancing to an empire is not easy. In the coming period, you must follow my instructions. For every task you accomplish, your ritorious deeds will be recorded," Yi Yan said.
"Yes!" the group responded, their faces full of strong joy.
"I will assign tasks appropriately. You will surely complete them. During this ti, you must be fully alert. Any mistakes at this critical juncture will not be tolerated by , Yi Yan!" Yi Yan's face turned serious.
The stern expression on Yi Yan's face startled everyone, instantly quelling their intense joy. Naturally, they beca more composed, resolving to handle the forthcoming tasks with utmost caution to ensure no mistakes occurred during the promotion.
Outside Yi Yan's residence.
At Shui Wuhen's and Shuijing's residences, Zhong Shan's letters had arrived, marking the official comncent of preparations for the empire's promotion in Qingzhou.
On Sky Wolf Island.
After the morning assembly, Zhong Shan t Di Xuansha again in the Hall of Longevity.
"We need your help once more," Zhong Shan said solemnly to Di Xuansha.
"Don't worry. For Da An's promotion and for my Wolf Clan, I will handle everything properly," Di Xuansha nodded seriously.
"Thank you," Zhong Shan said earnestly once again.
Although Di Xuansha was working for the Wolf Clan, considering his imnse power and high status in Shenzhou, his willingness to follow Zhong Shan's arrangents was unprecedented. By rights, Zhong Shan should not have been able to command him, yet Di Xuansha cooperated fully. Zhong Shan, in turn, showed him great respect.
Di Xuansha nodded and suddenly looked outside the hall.
"You have things to do, I'll take my leave," Di Xuansha said, then vanished from Zhong Shan's sight.
Zhong Shan nodded, then looked outside the hall in puzzlent.
Outside the hall, Bao'er had arrived.
Bao'er was followed by a man in white. Bao'er's expression seed slightly lancholic as she entered the hall in silence.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Shan asked, looking at Bao'er.
"He's here to see you," Bao'er pouted.
"From the Longevity World, Bai Qingyan greets Emperor Zhong!" the man in white respectfully addressed Zhong Shan.
The Longevity World? Bai Qingyan? The surna Bai?
"Uh, who are you?" Zhong Shan looked at Bai Qingyan, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Bai Qingsi is a distant cousin of mine. Long ago, Bai Qingsi's family left the Longevity World and joined a mortal dynasty. Our Bai clan deeply regretted this, but fortunately, Bai Qingsi eventually returned to the Longevity World," Bai Qingyan explained.
"The Bai clan?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly.
"Indeed," Bai Qingyan affird.
"What do you need from ?" Zhong Shan asked, puzzled.
"My cousin Bai Qingsi asked to deliver a letter to you personally," Bai Qingyan said.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan raised an eyebrow.
Bai Qingyan handed over a letter.
As soon as Zhong Shan opened the letter, he found a strand of black hair inside, the secret signal he had agreed upon with Bai Qingsi. Judging by the length of the strand, Zhong Shan imdiately knew the letter contained only four words.
Opening the letter, he saw it indeed contained only four words:
"Co quickly, save !"
Co quickly, save ? Zhong Shan's heart trembled at these four words. Although Bai Qingsi appeared gentle, Zhong Shan knew she was extrely proud and aloof, never lowering her head. She was a girl who was outwardly gentle but inwardly strong and stubborn.
Such a girl, even when facing imnse difficulties, would never ask for help but would endure silently.
But now? Co quickly, save ?
These four words revealed Bai Qingsi's deep dependence on Zhong Shan and also indicated that sothing extraordinarily significant had happened.
"What happened to Qingsi?" Zhong Shan imdiately asked.
"Cousin is being forced into marriage!" Bai Qingyan quickly replied, as if urging Zhong Shan to save her as well.
"Forced marriage? By whom?" Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold.
"By Bing Xuan Zhenjun!" Bai Qingyan said gravely.
Bing Xuan? Zhong Shan's mind quickly recalled the blue-haired, devilishly handso man he had encountered long ago. That ti, when he t Bai Qingsi while traveling to the Da Li Heavenly Dynasty, the man who had accompanied her, whom she called uncle but who persistently pursued her.
"Him? Impossible, he can't be a match for Qingsi!" Zhong Shan said, his heart sinking.
