In a mysterious spatial dimension, three figures gathered together.
These three were the leader of the Sun Moon Sect and the left and right protectors.
"Sect Leader, the people below just reported that the phoenix that killed the Deputy Sect Leader has appeared," the Left Protector said, initiating the conversation.
Upon hearing this, the Sun Moon Sect Leader suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out a divine light, his aura terrifying to the extreme.
"Where?" the Sun Moon Sect Leader asked.
"It has entered the Moonflower Holy Land," the Left Protector replied.
"Oh?" The Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, his expression calm, seemingly lost in thought.
At this moment, the Right Protector spoke up, "Sect Leader, do you think this phoenix might be bait thrown out by the Moonflower Holy Land?"
"Continue," the Sect Leader instructed.
The Right Protector nodded and voiced his inner speculations.
"Our Sun Moon Sect announced its return to the world by leveraging the destruction of the five supreme families. Not long after, our people encountered the phoenix. According to the descriptions from below, the divine medicine that the phoenix snatched away is very similar to the immortal herb that always sits on its back. The only difference is that the divine medicine has only nine and a half leaves, while the immortal herb has a complete ten leaves."
"I believe that immortal herb is the divine medicine our people discovered, but it has successfully broken through and become an immortal herb."
"The appearance of the phoenix and the immortal herb, shortly after our Sun Moon Sect announced its return, is too coincidental. It feels like deliberately creating a sense that our Sun Moon Sect's return is mandated by heaven. Soon after, the phoenix appeared within Mount Mang, leading a beast tide, as if telling the world that it was threatened and needed the fierce beasts of Mount Mang to protect itself."
"In reality, it was telling us that it was in Mount Mang and that we needed to send experts to capture it. Due to the unique nature of Mount Mang, even true immortals have perished within it. The Deputy Sect Leader, in order to achieve a swift victory, personally took action."
"Thus, he fell into the trap. The existence within Mount Mang sensed the Deputy Sect Leader's aura and, believing that the Deputy Sect Leader was provoking it, took action and killed him."
"In fact, all of this is a scheme by the Moonflower Holy Land."
The Right Protector spoke at length, summarizing that their Deputy Sect Leader was schemed against by the Moonflower Holy Land, and the phoenix and immortal herb were bait.
"What you've said sounds simple, but each link in the chain is crucial and cannot go wrong. I find it a bit far-fetched," the Left Protector disagreed with the Right Protector's conjecture.
Hearing this, the Right Protector asked, "Then tell me, why did the phoenix and the immortal herb both enter the Moonflower Holy Land? If the phoenix and immortal herb don't belong to the Moonflower Holy Land, wouldn't entering the Moonflower Holy Land be like walking into a trap?"
A creature like the phoenix, nurtured by heaven and earth, would not be let go even if immortal kings encountered it. He didn't believe that the Moonflower Holy Land wouldn't want to possess this phoenix.
The Left Protector naturally couldn't answer this question, but he still insisted on his own opinion, saying, "I still think this is a coincidence."
"If it were just one coincidence, fine, but a series of coincidences? Is that still a coincidence? That's a conspiracy!" the Right Protector coldly snorted.
"What the Right Protector said isn't without reason, and even if it's not a scheme, it's definitely related to the Moonflower Holy Land," the Sect Leader declared, agreeing with the Right Protector's words.
"..." The Left Protector was speechless because, at this moment, what the Right Protector said made some sense. One or two coincidences were fine, but a series of coincidences was too mysterious.
The Deputy Sect Leader was also an extremely powerful immortal king. If an immortal king wanted to scheme against another immortal king, unless there was a stronger existence to shield the astonishing danger perception of the immortal king, and the existence within Mount Mang was an existence stronger than an immortal king.
"Sect Leader, the Moonflower Holy Land schemed against us like this, and even caused the Deputy Sect Leader to perish within Mount Mang. Now that so much time has passed, Mount Mang is still peaceful. I think as long as we don't step into Mount Mang, that existence won't attack us. After all, this is the Great Void Realm, still the world of the Great Void Immortal Venerable!"
The Right Protector suggested that the Sect Leader should use all their strength to destroy the Moonflower Holy Land. Previously, they had been very restrained because they were wary of the existence within Mount Mang. Otherwise, just the hundred or so true immortals under their command would be more than enough to deal with the true immortals of the Moonflower Holy Land.
At this time, the Left Protector also agreed with the Right Protector's words, saying, "Sect Leader, now more than half of the true immortal forces in the Brightmoon Immortal Domain have expressed their willingness to submit, which is also a considerable force."
"Hmph, those fence-sitters!" The Right Protector coldly snorted in disdain, clearly looking down on those spineless forces.
Their battle with the Moonflower Holy Land was not only a battle for territory but also a battle concerning the Great Dao. Their cultivation had been stagnant for a long time, and the Moonflower Holy Land was a great mountain blocking their path to the Great Dao. If they didn't eliminate the Moonflower Holy Land, they would never be able to make any further breakthroughs.
The battle for the Great Dao brooks no loss; it's either the enemy dies or we die.
"Since they are fence-sitters, then let's make good use of them. You two prepare and summon those surrendered forces, bring them along, and go attack the Moonflower Holy Land!"
The Sect Leader's tone was sinister, clearly disdaining those fence-sitters. Before their Sun Moon Sect made a strong return, they called them the Sun Moon Demonic Sect, but now that they saw the Sun Moon Sect was powerful, with three immortal king experts, and had been at an advantage in the struggle with the Moonflower Holy Land, they decisively betrayed the Moonflower Holy Land and joined their Sun Moon Sect.
Such faces were even more hypocritical than petty people!
Naturally, he wouldn't trust such people. Perhaps as soon as their Sun Moon Sect showed some signs of decline, these people would immediately turn against them, and afterward, they would say they were enduring hardship for the sake of righteousness, feigning allegiance to the Sun Moon Demonic Sect.
"If they are unwilling, then kill!"
The Sect Leader's voice was icy.
"Yes!"
The Left and Right Protectors responded and left this mysterious dimensional space.
After they left, the Sect Leader took out a jade talisman that was only half complete. This jade talisman exuded an extremely ancient aura.
He injected a wisp of energy into the jade talisman. Suddenly, the jade talisman shot out a golden light, tearing the space apart and forming a spatial rift. The Sect Leader's figure flashed and entered the spatial rift.
In the next moment, the Sect Leader's figure appeared in a vast and chaotic space.
In this chaotic space, there was a green lotus, but the state of this green lotus was very strange. The roots were broken, the stems and leaves were tattered, and even the lotus seedpod on top seemed to have been cut off by half.
"You've come!"
A thought descended.
The Sect Leader first respectfully bowed to this green lotus, then said, "Senior, the body you were looking for, I have found it."
"What?"
That thought seemed anxious, and the tone became much heavier.
The Sect Leader didn't speak but waved his hand, and a picture appeared in the void. The object in the picture was the Ten Leaves.
"Good, good, very good. A mortal grass achieving the Dao, with boundless potential. As long as I seize it, I can return to my peak again. No, breaking through and standing anew, I can definitely break through the shackles of the Immortal Venerable and advance to the Immortal Emperor."
"Hahaha, Great Void, how could you not have expected that I wasn't dead? Hahahaha..."
A burst of crazy laughter echoed in the space, and when the Sun Moon Sect Leader heard the words "Great Void," his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Back then, he was severely injured by the Moonflower Immortal King and fled the Brightmoon Immortal Domain. He originally thought he was going to die, but he was suddenly rescued by a tattered green lotus. Not only that, but the green lotus also gave him many secret techniques and elixirs.
The Ascension Pill was one of them.
In addition, the already fallen Deputy Sect Leader and the Left and Right Protectors were able to become immortal kings with the help of this green lotus.
And he was to find a suitable body for this green lotus.
This body was very demanding, it had to be a plant, and it had to be a mortal thing that had achieved the Dao.
How could a mortal thing achieve the Dao? If it achieved the Dao, would it still be called a mortal thing?
He secretly searched the entire Great Void Realm and couldn't find a suitable body until recently, he finally found it.
But now he knew that this green lotus's enemy was actually the Great Void Immortal Venerable.
"What? Scared?" The green lotus seemed to see through his thoughts and asked with a smile.
The Sun Moon Sect Leader shook his head and said, "My life was saved by Senior. If it weren't for Senior, I would have entered reincarnation long ago. Now everything I have is because of Senior's secret help. Senior, your enemy is my enemy. Don't mention the enemy is the Great Void Immortal Venerable, even if it's the Great Void Immortal Emperor, I'm not afraid."
"Shut your crow's mouth!" That thought scolded with a smile. Here, everything could be isolated from the heavens, so even mentioning the Great Void's real name wouldn't be detected by the Great Void. Of course, the premise was that the Great Void was still an Immortal Venerable.
But if the Great Void became an Immortal Emperor, then it would be different.
"Where is it!"
The green lotus was referring to the Ten Leaves.
"In the Moonflower Holy Land," the Sect Leader replied.
"Moonflower Holy Land? Is that the Moonflower Holy Land that you said suppressed your Sun Moon Sect back then?" the green lotus asked.
The Sect Leader nodded and said, "Not long ago, the Moonflower Holy Land used the existence in Mount Mang to scheme against my Deputy Sect Leader and cause him to fall."
"The existence in Mount Mang? Just a strange bird," the green lotus said with disdain.
"I can't leave here now, but this matter is of utmost importance. I will lend you a power. Even if that strange bird attacks, you can escape from it. Remember, you must retrieve the body of this immortal herb."
After speaking, the green lotus emitted a burst of golden light, and then the golden light flashed and entered the Sect Leader's body.
The Sect Leader felt the power in his body that surpassed the Immortal King, and his heart suddenly felt invincible.
But this was just an illusion. Even this senior couldn't achieve invincibility, and he had only obtained a trace of the other party's power, how could he be invincible?
But he was sure that as long as he used this power, the Moonflower Holy Land could be wiped out with a flick of his finger.
"Senior, this junior will definitely not let you down," the Sect Leader solemnly guaranteed.
"Go!"
That thought seemed much weaker. After all, he was no longer the God of War in his prime. He was now just a wisp of undying will struggling to survive, but as long as he obtained the body of that immortal herb, he could not only quickly restore to his peak but also have a great chance of breaking through the shackles and becoming an Immortal Emperor that would shock the heavens.
After the Sect Leader left this chaotic space, another burst of crazy laughter echoed in the space.
"Great Void, you destroyed my God of War Palace and even changed this world into some damned Great Void Realm. You wait, one day I will step on you under my feet. That day won't be long."
"Hahaha..."
In an extremely distant era of the Great Void Realm, at that time, the Great Void Realm wasn't called the Great Void Realm, and the force that ruled this realm wasn't called the Great Void Palace, but the God of War Palace.
However, the God of War Palace acted very cruelly. If they were slightly careless, even immortal king experts would suffer a catastrophe.
Against this background, a human youth who called himself the Great Void stood up. Ever since he attained the Dao, he had been opposing the God of War Palace. The God of War Palace didn't pay too much attention to the Great Void at first, thinking that he was just a small supreme ant, so they casually sent a few supremes under the leadership of a true immortal to try to kill him.
That battle was the Great Void's rise to power. He broke through to become an immortal in the battle and single-handedly annihilated the disciples of the God of War Palace who were chasing him.
The God of War Palace was furious, so they sent an immortal king expert to suppress the Great Void, but the God of War Palace was too rampant. Wherever the immortal king passed, not a blade of grass grew, and countless forces were destroyed, causing widespread suffering.
This undoubtedly aroused public anger, but many experts were angry but dared not speak out, but there were also a few experts who dared to bet on the Great Void and secretly provided him with shelter.
Back then, the Mirror Lake of the Mirror Lake Holy Son, who was defeated by Li Beifei during Yao Xian's coming-of-age ceremony, was one of the forces that had provided shelter for the Great Void back then, and it was also the only force that managed to survive to this day.
Other forces that secretly sheltered the Great Void were all liquidated by the God of War Palace in that era.
And Mirror Lake wasn't without losses. The old ancestor of Mirror Lake, an immortal king, also fell in that era.
Just as the God of War Palace was about to destroy Mirror Lake, the Great Void, who had finally grown up under the protection of countless people, finally broke through the shackles of the Immortal King and advanced to the Immortal Venerable.
And at the moment of advancing to the Immortal Venerable, he personally took action, wiped out the immortal kings of the God of War Palace, and attacked the God of War Palace.
That battle lasted for a full ten thousand years.
After that battle, the Great Void established the Great Void Palace, calling himself the Great Void Immortal Venerable, and incidentally changed the name of this realm to the Great Void Realm.
And the Mirror Lake that was able to be preserved, the Great Void Immortal Venerable didn't forget them. He gave them the supreme God of War Art of the God of War Palace and even provided a large amount of cultivation resources. However, since the old ancestor of Mirror Lake, Mirror Lake had produced several true immortals, but no one had ever advanced to the Immortal King, which was a small regret.
And in that battle, the Immortal Venerable God of War of the God of War Palace didn't completely fall, because his main body was an ordinary green lotus that had attained the Dao, and his vitality was extremely tenacious. Even if his divine soul was destroyed, there was still a wisp of undying will.
After all, the Great Void was a newly promoted Immortal Venerable in the battle. After he defeated the God of War, he also suffered extremely serious injuries and didn't notice that a wisp of the God of War's undying will had escaped.
However, this wisp of the God of War's undying will was ultimately just a will. If he wanted to be reborn, he still needed to find a suitable body.
And this suitable body had to have the same roots as him, that is, a mortal thing that had attained the Dao.
It was already as difficult as ascending to heaven for a mortal thing to gain sentience, and for a mortal thing to attain the Dao, it was even more difficult than the creation of the world.
But after all, he was still waiting.
The God of War's tattered green lotus body was the manifestation of his undying will. He looked at the Ten Leaves in the picture and was extremely satisfied.
“For a wild grass to achieve Dao is even more difficult than it is for my mortal lotus. However, the more difficult the path, the more extraordinary the potential after achieving Dao. This body... even the Immortal Emperor realm might not be its limit. Breaking through to Dao... I see the hope of breaking through to Dao.”
“Tai Xu, wait for me, I will return to find you soon!”
