March passes in the blink of an eye.

Medicine King Valley and the Great Wilderness Region were both calm and peaceful.

However, a momentous event occurred in the Central Region Holy Land: the former Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty has now been renamed the Tian Xuan Divine Dynasty, and under the rule of the Second Prince Ji Haoyue, its national strength is growing stronger day by day.

Not only are Supreme Realm experts emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The strongest individuals at the Great Emperor realm are emerging in large numbers, far exceeding the number of those in the former Qian Yuan Divine Dynasty by more than ten times.

Such dramatic changes.

All because of the person behind the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty—Gu Xuan, the number one immortal in the Tianxuan Realm!

It is said that the elixirs refined by the immortal Gu Xuan have no side effects, only benefits.

His alchemy techniques were astonishing; he could even mold pills by hand!

This news shocked the entire Tianxuan Continent!

Everyone sighed in admiration, realizing that this master was indeed extraordinary, even his alchemy was so refined and unconventional.

As a result, Gu Xuan became the undisputed number one alchemy master in the Tianxuan Continent. His pills were so valuable that they were hard to find. If Gu Xuan's pills were auctioned at the Yao Guang and Tai Yin Chambers of Commerce, they would be packed to capacity, and the top leaders of various immortal holy lands would also be present.

Just imagine the scene, how fierce the competition must have been!

Furthermore, after the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty made rapid progress in its strength, it directly declared war on the three great divine dynasties: the Great Qin Divine Dynasty, the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, and the Jiuli Divine Dynasty!

Moreover, they swiftly launched a preemptive strike, initiating a large-scale attack on the neighboring Great Qin Dynasty!

At that time, Emperor Zhao Zheng of the Great Qin Dynasty died suddenly on his way to inspect the south of the Yangtze River due to a qi deviation.

His will, however, deposed the crown prince and installed a son of a concubine as emperor.

Clearly, this decree has serious problems!

Crown Prince Zhao Su has always been deeply loved and valued by the old emperor, and he is both a scholar and a warrior, truly a talented man to govern the country.

In contrast, the illegitimate son Zhao Hai was utterly hopeless, spending his days indulging in sensual pleasures.

If it weren't for the invasion by the western barbarians, and Crown Prince Zhao Su and General Meng Mengtian leading an army of 300,000 to quell the rebellion, the position of acting regent would never have fallen to Zhao Hai.

Based on the old emperor's past practices, there is absolutely no possibility that he would depose the crown prince and establish a son of a concubine as the heir to the throne.

The crown prince should rightfully inherit the throne.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's faction and Zhao Hai's faction fought fiercely within the country over the issue of who would inherit the throne.

This plunged the entire Qin Dynasty into a quagmire of disputes over the legitimate and illegitimate heirs, leaving it in utter chaos.

The sudden attack by the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty caught the Great Qin Divine Dynasty off guard.

They actually managed to capture twelve border cities in succession!

With the fortified city fallen, the border lost its only natural barrier, and the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty's army advanced unstoppably, sweeping straight in.

In less than half a month.

The twelve border states of the Great Qin Dynasty have all fallen, shaking the entire nation!

To preserve the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, Crown Prince Zhao Su had no choice but to negotiate with Zhao Hai, intending to first join hands to resist foreign enemies and then resolve internal disputes.

The two eventually reached a settlement.

After all, if the Great Qin Dynasty were to perish, their current struggle would be meaningless.

However, the strength of the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty today is vastly different from what it was before. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would be no match for it.

The Heavenly Profound Divine Dynasty boasts numerous powerful individuals at the Great Emperor Realm, and its high-ranking officials possess formidable strength.

Even if the Great Qin Divine Dynasty were to invest more mid- to low-level cultivators, it would still be a drop in the ocean.

Thus, it only took three months.

The Tianxuan Divine Dynasty had already conquered half of the Qin Dynasty's territory.

The Qin Dynasty had no choice but to abandon its capital, Xianyang, and retreat to Jinling in the south, using the natural defenses to block the advance of the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty!

The Tianxuan Divine Dynasty did not continue its offensive, but instead began to digest and absorb the lands it had annexed from the Great Qin Divine Dynasty, and implemented a series of reforms.

This is an act of killing someone and destroying their spirit!

The intention was to completely eliminate the influence of the Great Qin on this land and transform its territory entirely into the domain of the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty.

Crown Prince Zhao Su was well aware of this.

He had no choice but to take a few trusted confidants and loyal followers and secretly head to the Cloud Sect in the Great Wilderness Domain.

There is only one person who can solve this predicament.

That was the true master behind the Tianxuan Divine Dynasty—the Human Immortal Gu Xuan!

......

Medicine King Valley, thatched hut.

As the area covered by the sycamore trees continued to expand, the former thatched cottage also underwent transformation and expansion.

The three thatched huts have now been transformed into twelve bamboo huts.

They are built around the sycamore tree like stars surrounding the moon.

The courtyard where the female disciples lived was also closely connected to the thatched huts. The courtyard was like a magnificent painting, expanding to at least several thousand square meters.

It occupies almost the entire mountainside.

The environment features a small bridge and flowing water, with a lotus pond in front of the courtyard, surrounded by lush bamboo, orchids, plum blossoms, and other plants that sway gently in the breeze.

It adds a touch of lively beauty to this tranquil and serene environment.

In addition, there's that Saint-level Spirit Gathering Array.

Today, the thatched cottage has undoubtedly become an amazing paradise!

The sycamore tree, which has awakened to become the World Tree, has spread its lush canopy like a giant mushroom and still stands proudly in the center of the thatched hut, like a kind elder, silently guarding the hut.

Under the tree, a 50-square-meter bamboo house stood quietly; that was Gu Xuan's residence.

At this moment, under the sycamore tree, Gu Xuan, for the first time ever, did not lie on the rocking chair, but sat there upright like an old monk in meditation.

With his eyes tightly closed, a mysterious and unpredictable power seemed to emanate from his body.

If you look closely, you will find that Gu Xuan's figure is as ethereal and illusory as wisps of smoke, appearing and disappearing at different times.

In that instant.

He seemed to be one with the world around him, as if they were perfectly blended.

And this state.

In reality, it has reached the supreme state of harmony between man and nature.

Lu Ya didn't even have the heart to play chess with Zhu Chen.

His gaze was drawn to Gu Xuan from time to time, as if by a magnet.
