Almost half a month has passed since the events on Tianhuang Star, and the situation there can only be described as treacherous.
Unbeknownst to most cultivators, a Great Saint Ancestral King from the Heavenly Eye Ancient Clan of the Southern Wilderness descended upon the Purple Micro Holy Land in the Eastern Region, wielding the ancient imperial weapon of the Heavenly Eye Clan. This forced the Purple Micro Holy Land to activate its defensive Emperor Formation. The Holy Land even mobilized an old ancestor who had sealed himself in divine source for many years, also a Great Saint, to confront the Great Saint Ancestral King, each wielding an imperial weapon.
This was shocking enough, but there was more to come.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a Taoist priest emerged from the Dao Holy Sect, another immortal power in the Eastern Region, carrying the Dao Holy Sect's imperial weapon, the Yin-Yang Diagram. When the world thought the Dao Holy Sect was there to help the Purple Micro Holy Land, they were shocked to discover that the old Taoist priest, without a word, directly used the Yin-Yang Diagram to unleash a terrifying blast of Yin-Yang energy towards the Purple Micro Holy Land.
Fortunately, the Purple Micro Holy Land's defensive Emperor Formation remained active and withstood the terrifying energy, which was powerful enough to sink millions of miles of land.
Just as the world was in an uproar and confusion, the sky above the Purple Micro Holy Land suddenly cracked open, and a jade seal appeared, exuding an imperial aura that suppressed the nine heavens and ten earths, the universe and the eight wildernesses.
This was the Great Xia Dragon Suppressing Seal, the supreme imperial weapon used by the Great Xia Divine Dynasty of the Central Divine Continent to suppress its destiny. It was not easily deployed, yet it appeared at this moment, and the target of its suppression was the Purple Micro Holy Land.
The conflict between the Purple Micro Holy Land and the Divine Dynasty was known to all, but it shouldn't have warranted the deployment of an imperial weapon, especially in alliance with the ancient race to suppress a human Holy Land. This left countless human cultivators puzzled.
But it didn't stop there. After the Great Xia Dragon Suppressing Seal appeared, a nine-story Emperor Tower emerged, its aura no weaker than the previous three imperial weapons, and even possessing a hint of ethereal quality.
This was the Western Queen Tower of the Jade Pool Holy Land!
The founder of the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Jade Pool Holy Mother, also had another title: the Western Queen Mother. The Western Queen Tower was the imperial weapon she refined after proving her Dao.
The four imperial weapons were wielded by four Great Saint experts. Although they couldn't unleash even one-ten-thousandth of the imperial weapons' full power, it was still enough to intimidate the Purple Micro Holy Land.
This confrontation lasted for three full days. During these three days, all the cultivators in the Eastern Region lived in fear, because if a battle of supreme imperial weapons broke out, the entire Eastern Region would be destroyed, leading to unimaginable suffering and rivers of blood.
At this moment, countless people hoped that the Gu family would step forward. They believed that as long as the Gu family intervened, the war could be averted.
And the Gu family did not disappoint the world's cultivators. On the third day of the confrontation, a fairy-like woman walked out of the Gu family. No one knew her origin, but she was like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens, captivatingly beautiful.
She was Gu Youxian's youngest daughter, Gu Changsheng's great-granddaughter, Gu Qingcheng.
As soon as Gu Qingcheng arrived, she displayed unparalleled power. Even in the face of the five great imperial weapons, she suppressed them with a single hand.
"Grandpa said, give them a small lesson, and someone will naturally take care of things later."
After saying that, Gu Qingcheng floated away.
Who is this member of the Gu family? She's so terrifying, instantly suppressing five Great Saints wielding imperial weapons. Even a regular Quasi-Emperor probably couldn't do that.
Moreover, she has a grandpa!
That's even more terrifying!
Things later? Does that mean someone will settle accounts with the Purple Micro Holy Land later?
Gu Qingcheng's few words caused a huge uproar, leading countless people and forces to speculate about her strength and the identity of her grandpa. Could he be a living Emperor? This idea was quickly dismissed, because if someone became an Emperor, the entire universe would know, and it would be impossible to remain unaware.
They tried their best to guess, but in the end, they couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
And this imperial weapon war, which seemed inexplicable to the world, came to an end. But little did they know the Purple Micro Holy Land had paid a heavy price for it.
They compensated with five stalks of Holy Medicine, and countless source crystals. Roughly estimated, the Purple Micro Holy Land's losses were equivalent to the profits of all their industries combined over the past hundred years.
How much revenue does a Holy Land generate in a hundred years? It's definitely an astronomical figure, comparable to the foundation of half a great sect. But the Purple Micro Holy Land suffered such losses, and they could only swallow their anger.
Who would have thought that the small cultivators in the Life and Death Realm they chased down were all extraordinary?
Bai Yifei, who had a marriage contract with the Heavenly Eye Clan's princess!
Li Ruoyu, the Daoist of the Dao Holy Sect.
Xia Wuji, the next emperor of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty.
The remaining Li Beifei and Xuan Mingzi were nothing to them. After all, one was a rogue cultivator, and the other was just a disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect. But they were puzzled as to why the Jade Pool Holy Land would take action. They didn't chase down the Jade Pool Holy Maiden! But what's done is done, and they can only endure for now. When the Ancient Starry Road opens, even immortal forces will be out of reach.
The reason why the Jade Pool Holy Land took action was all because Xuan Mingzi mentioned Li Beifei's situation to Hong Hong after returning to the academy. Li Beifei disappeared suddenly, and they couldn't contact him no matter what. So they assumed Li Beifei was in trouble. Xuan Mingzi told Hong Hong about this, and coincidentally, the Jade Pool Holy Maiden was also present.
The Jade Pool Holy Maiden knew that Li Beifei was her sister's junior brother. If her sister's junior brother was being bullied, it would be a good opportunity to build a good relationship with her sister. So she secretly contacted the Jade Pool Holy Land and asked the Holy Land to cooperate with the other three major forces.
"Boss, this is all we can do. Don't worry, when we become stronger, we will definitely flatten the Purple Micro Holy Land and avenge you."
In Li Beifei's courtyard in the academy, Xuan Mingzi, Bai Yifei, and the other two had actually erected a cenotaph for Li Beifei.
"Brother Li, may you rest in peace. We will definitely send the Purple Micro Holy Land down to accompany you!" Bai Yifei said with a sad expression.
"Brother Li, rest in peace!" Xia Wuji, who was usually more active, had a very solemn expression at this time, and offered a stick of incense to Li Beifei's cenotaph, feeling extremely regretful in his heart. It was his idea to go to the Stone Gambling Convention, how could he not regret and feel guilty that Li Beifei was in trouble?
Li Ruoyu didn't say anything, but sat down and chanted the Buddhist Rebirth Mantra. When he discussed the Dao with the Holy Buddhist, the two sides had exchanged some non-secret Buddhist and Taoist techniques, so Li Ruoyu also knew the Rebirth Mantra.
"You... what are you doing?"
Just as the four were immersed in sadness, a questioning tone broke the atmosphere.
The group looked towards the door and saw Hong Hong, Mu Qingyi, and the Jade Pool Holy Maiden standing at the door, and it was Hong Hong who spoke.
