After leaving Kong Lietian's study, Ren Zun maintained a calm expression, but in the earlier conversation, Wangchen had caught a fleeting look of joy on his face.
Joy, though fleeting, was enough for Wangchen. That brief expression revealed much to Wangchen. He realized that Ren Zun's ultimate goal might soon co to light.
In the following days, Wangchen occasionally discussed strategies to counter the Four Symbols Formation with Ren Zun, but most of the ti, he remained covertly vigilant.
One month later, while leading a large group of cultivators toward the passage between the two realms, Ren Zun suddenly excused himself, and Wangchen discreetly followed him.
In an extrely secluded mountain forest, Wangchen hid in a small corner, observing.
In the distance, Ren Zun stood atop a peak.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar filled the sky as dark clouds gathered instantly.
Wangchen's eyes widened.
"Undergoing tribulation? Earthly Immortal Tribulation? Why is Ren Zun undergoing tribulation now? Could it be that his long-awaited mont has finally arrived?" Wangchen frowned in thought.
"Five thousand years. Ren Zun has been lurking within the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty for nearly five thousand years. What could he be waiting for? And now, this thing is erging?"
"Could it be?" Wangchen's expression changed.
Lingxiao Heavenly Court was flying northward.
This was one of the great advantages of Lingxiao Heavenly Court: the capital could move, allowing Zhong Shan to leverage the power of the Great Zhen Heavenly Dynasty wherever he went.
This ti, Zhong Shan used himself as bait to lure Kong Xuan and Daojun Shen Ya into the final battle.
In his study, Zhong Shan reviewed so letters, with Bao'er by his side.
"Master, are these letters from Shijiu?" Bao'er asked.
"Yes. He has discerned my intention and is cooperating with my plan. He has provoked Kong Lietian into the final battle, and Kong Lietian will undoubtedly bring Kong Xuan and Daojun Shen Ya with him. This saves a lot of preparation." Zhong Shan put down the letters and rubbed his temples.
Bao'er imdiately moved behind Zhong Shan and began massaging his temples to help him relax.
"Why is Shijiu doing this? Does he, like Xuan'er, have so hidden agenda? By the way, all of Kong Lietian's subordinates have a 'Yao' divine mark. Could that be what's restraining him?" Bao'er speculated.
"Hard to say," Zhong Shan replied solemnly.
"Why?" Bao'er frowned.
"You don't understand how intelligent Zhong Shijiu is. Among all the ministers of Great Zhen, only Xiao Wang and Yi Yan can compare with him in understanding human nature. Therefore, all his actions are just appearances. Until I ascertain his true intentions, you must treat all his behavior as if you haven't seen it." Zhong Shan patted Bao'er's hand.
"Alright. I really hope he's like Xuan'er," Bao'er nodded.
"Let's hope so. Before the final battle, I need to make one more breakthrough. Please take care of the palace affairs in the anti," Zhong Shan said.
"Understood."
In a secret chamber within Lingxiao Heavenly Court, Zhong Shan sat cross-legged, preparing for his final breakthrough before the war.
The only way to quickly break through was through devouring, devouring precious treasures. Now, even a ninth-grade treasure couldn't cause the Eight Extremities Heavenly Tail to break through. Last ti, the Heaven Vein Sword only raised it by one level, and even a Heavenly Immortal artifact could only raise it by one level. What treasures did Zhong Shan have that surpassed a Heavenly Immortal artifact?
Reaching out, Zhong Shan placed the Fangtian Jade Seal before him. He then opened a jade box beside him, from which a flood of golden light filled the entire hall.
Inside the box was a golden light cluster—the "destiny" obtained from the annihilation of the Immortal Realm, and within it, a precious treasure. Zhong Shan's goal was this treasure.
As for the "destiny" of One Yuan, Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes and pressed the Fangtian Jade Seal onto the golden light cluster.
Under Zhong Shan's urging, the golden light seed to be squeezed out, exploding and filling the hall with a dense golden mist that couldn't escape. This was because the red bead on the Fangtian Jade Seal emitted a rainbow-colored glow, bringing the nine jade dragons on the seal to life. They opened their mouths and voraciously absorbed the surrounding golden mist.
The nine dragons were devouring the destiny?
Zhong Shan controlled the process with extre caution.
Simultaneously, an enormous commotion arose in the sky above Lingxiao Heavenly Court. The sea of fortune surged violently, as if filled with new energy. At the center of the sea of rit and fortune, a small, dazzling golden point of light suddenly appeared.
The golden points grew in number and intensity, drawing the sea of rit and the sea of fortune closer together until they touched.
Near the imperial city, nearly all officials looked up to the sky, marveling at this extraordinary spectacle.
The touching of the two seas seed to ignite the golden points, causing brilliant light wherever the rit and fortune t.
Below:
"Destiny? His Majesty is actually able to manifest his own destiny?" Wang Ku exclaid in surprise.
"Is that glowing light destiny?" Yi Yan asked beside him.
"Indeed, that is destiny, belonging to Great Zhen and His Majesty," Wang Ku replied in awe.
"What is destiny used for?" Yi Yan inquired.
"You'll know soon enough," Wang Ku responded.
"Huh?"
Di Xuanhua, Mud Buddha, and others erged from their residences, gazing at the rging of rit and fortune in the sky.
There was significantly more fortune than rit, and when all the rit was exhausted, much fortune remained. This golden destiny converged at the center, surrounding the images of the Great Zhen officials.
In an instant, the images of the officials on the sea of fortune emitted a brilliant golden light. The most prominent, the image of Zhong Shan, not only radiated golden light but also a dazzling rainbow light from above his head. It was incredibly resplendent.
All the officials' faces changed, then lit up with joy.
Zhong Shan now possessed his own destiny. Although it was still sparse, Zhong Shan felt the imnse change deeply.
With the rging of rit and fortune into destiny, Zhong Shan's cultivation speed, previously 250 tis the normal rate, instantly increased to 400 tis!
Four hundred tis—a terrifying cultivation speed. This was a huge delight for the entire court. While Zhong Shan, as the supre leader, enjoyed a 400-fold increase in cultivation speed, mid-level officials like Yi Yan and Di Xuanhua saw their speed increase to 40 tis, a substantial and joyful surprise for all.
The sense of balance between rit and fortune vanished, replaced by a complentary relationship. Zhong Shan even sensed sothing mysterious through his grasp of destiny, an elusive feeling that would require future exploration.
The Fangtian Jade Seal, having absorbed the One Yuan destiny, now enabled Zhong Shan to comprehend the thod of integrating destiny. The sky was filled with fortune, interspersed with a significant amount of destiny. Zhong Shan now possessed his own destiny, and the Fangtian Jade Seal emitted a colorful glow.
The Fangtian Jade Seal beca even more precious.
Reaching out, Zhong Shan retrieved the Fangtian Jade Seal. Before him appeared a white fruit.
A fruit?
It was the size of a fist, as beautiful as a cat's eye stone, incredibly solid, and gem-like. It emitted a faint fragrance, reminiscent of an apple.
Grabbing the white fruit, Zhong Shan frowned slightly. What exactly was this? An immortal fruit from the Great Thousand World?
Perhaps this fruit had so extraordinary use, but Zhong Shan wasn't concerned about that. morizing its shape, he let the Eight Extremities Heavenly Tail devour it in one bite.
Indeed, it was a precious treasure. Zhong Shan felt a terrifying energy rapidly being transferred into him by the Eight Extremities Heavenly Tail.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound echoed within Zhong Shan's body. Two days later, Zhong Shan stepped out of the hall.
Could this white fruit be comparable to a Heavenly Immortal artifact? One fruit directly propelled Zhong Shan to the ninth level of the Heavenly Extre Realm! Although it was only a single level increase, the energy required for cultivation increased exponentially as one advanced. Zhong Shan's personal strength surged once more.
The ninth level of the Heavenly Extre Realm!
Two years later, not far from the passage between the two realms, Lingxiao Heavenly Court ca to a stop.
The Great Zhen army quickly gathered from all directions, setting up camp in the east. In the west, the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty's army intensified their presence. Both sides ford formidable barricades, ready for the imminent decisive battle.
In a valley to the east of Lingxiao Heavenly Court.
Tian Chenzi, now unrecognizable with lted skin and blood-soaked flesh, wrapped in a black robe, gazed at Lingxiao Heavenly Court in the distance.
"The decisive battle? After all these years, it's finally about to begin! Cough, cough..." Tian Chenzi said, coughing twice.
To the west of Lingxiao Heavenly Court, at the frontline camp established by Ren Zun and Wangchen.
"Senior Ren Zun, how is the preparation of the formation?" Wangchen asked.
"My formation requires the sacrificial lives of a million cultivators to create a sea of blood, which aligns perfectly with your cultivation technique. Once the battle comnces, and a million cultivators die, the formation will be complete. At that ti, I will need you, General Wangchen, to lead the formation and charge at the forefront!" Ren Zun said calmly.
"I won't hesitate!" Wangchen replied with a smile.
"Good."
In a city at the rear.
Kong Lietian stood on the city wall, looking into the distance with confidence, alongside Daojun Shen Ya.
"When will Senior Kong Xuan arrive?" Kong Lietian asked.
"The Grandmaster will co; you don't need to worry!" Daojun Shen Ya replied sternly.
"I'm not worried about that. I'm concerned about repeating the sa mistake. Last ti, we left the Immortal Realm undefended and lost sothing. We won't lose it again this ti, will we?" Kong Lietian asked with a smile.
"Last ti, the Grandmaster was unprepared. This ti, he will set up thousands of prohibitions. No one will be able to take anything!" Daojun Shen Ya said firmly.
"That's good. This is the final battle. Zhong Shan has already arrived. Once Zhong Shan dies, there will be no force left to obstruct . It won't be long before I unify the world!" Kong Lietian said confidently.
"Yes, this ti, Zhong Shan must die!" Daojun Shen Ya's eyes flashed with hostility.
If Zhong Shan wasn't eliminated, he would beco a significant obstacle and heart demon in Daojun Shen Ya's future cultivation.
