"What are your plans for next?" Cao Ya from Panlong asked.

“Simple.” Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] chuckled softly and said, “The Demon Emperor must be dealt with, as he is the biggest security threat to the Tianxuan Continent. The Demon Clan also needs to be completely eliminated.”

"However, the Demon Emperor is sealed. To deal with him, we need to break the seal set up by the Ancestral Symbol and release the Demon Emperor. I don't plan to do that myself."

Cao Ya's eyes were deep, revealing his plans.

"Oh, how so?" Cao Ya from [Primordial Era] asked.

"It's alright if we accidentally broke the seal on the Demon Emperor, but if we did it intentionally, I'm afraid we'd be overwhelmed by public opinion." Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] said calmly, "Moreover, it's hard to say exactly what level the Demon Emperor's true strength is at the initial stage of the four-star level. With my current strength, I have no problem matching the Demon Emperor, but I have absolutely no confidence in killing the Demon Emperor without affecting others."

"When the time comes, I'll face public condemnation and criticism, but I'll find it all meaningless."

It was precisely because of this consideration that Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] did not intend to remove the seal of the Demon Emperor himself.

"You really think long-term," Cao Ya said with a strange expression. [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle]

"There's nothing I can do. I've lived for tens of thousands of years, seen a lot, and naturally thought a lot," Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] replied with a sigh.

"I disagree with what you're saying," said Cao Ya of Panlong, dissatisfied. He had lived for millions of years, hundreds of times longer than Cao Ya of Martial Universe, not to mention the others.

"Brother, we've traveled to different worlds." Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] felt exhausted.

The Panlong universe, despite its various wars, is still home to the four supreme planes and seven divine planes, which have attracted countless powerful individuals and are places that gods all want to visit.

Moreover, although the battles are frequent, they are not concealed. All living beings have become accustomed to it. If others are affected, it can only be said that those guys are unlucky and do not have the strength to force their way forward. They have no one to blame but themselves.

The world of "Martial Universe" hasn't reached that point yet.

After all, the Demon Emperor had been sealed away for ten thousand years, and the Demon race had been dormant until recently when they began to make their moves again, no longer concealing their whereabouts.

In the past, the situation was not so volatile, and there was still some order.

"After defeating the Demon Queen, you'll break through the void and travel to the Great Thousand Worlds?" Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] suddenly asked.

[Martial Universe] Cao Ya hummed in agreement. Staying in Tianxuan Continent was pointless, as his strength was already almost at the pinnacle of Tianxuan Continent, second only to the Ancestral Symbol and the Demon Emperor.

After reading Cao Ya's comment on "Battle Through the Heavens," he said:

"You don't need to rush. You're only a five-star Dou Wang. Let alone a Dou Di, you should at least become a high-star Dou Sheng, or even a half-Emperor, before you can break through the void."

Cao Ya nodded; that was also his plan.

Using other personal powers is fine, but if the world allows it, why not cultivate the system of this world?

Worlds like "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" are too low-level, so there's no other way but to switch to other extraordinary systems, which is a different story.

After chatting for a while, Cao Ya from [Perfect World] said excitedly:

"I'm about to break through."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ya rolled his eyes.

"How many times have you said it?" Cao Ya from [Covering the Sky] smiled.

[Perfect World] Cao Ya blushed and muttered:

"It's really coming soon. Moreover, according to the message sent back by Shi Hao, the beings from the Upper Realm are about to descend to the Lower Realm to harvest our resources. I need to take this opportunity to try my hand and kill a few beings from the Upper Realm."

[The Shepherd's Tale] Cao Yadao:

"Don't stumble. The Perfect World is a very high level. The upper realm is the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Although no true immortals have emerged since the Immortal Ancient Era, supreme beings, those who have transcended to the One Realm, and so on have never disappeared."

[Covering the Sky] Cao Ya sighed and said:

"Moreover, the chaotic ancient era you live in has an abundance of longevity substances. Even those at the Divine Fire Realm can live for many years, longer than the Great Emperors of later generations."

His tone was full of envy.

Cao Ya from [Perfect World] laughed:

"After sharing the power, aren't you now immortal too?"

[Panlong] Cao Ya patted his chest and said:

"It all depends on me."

That's absolutely true. Among all the universes, only [Panlong] Cao Ya has reached the realm of infinite lifespan.

In other universes, even Cao Ya of the Primordial Era, Cao Ya of the Immortal Gourd, Cao Ya of the Shepherd of the Gods, and Cao Ya of the Supreme Being, would still perish if they encountered immeasurable calamities or the great cataclysm of cosmic annihilation.

[Panlong] Without these calamities, the universe would have existed for more than a thousand cycles, and each cycle is sixty quadrillion years.

It is conceivable that the Panlong universe has existed for an extremely long time.

And it will continue to exist without disaster or calamity.

After all, Hongmeng created this perfect universe after many failures. It consists of one large and four smaller universes, with the Panlong universe being one of the four smaller subsidiary universes.

Moreover, the immortality of the Panlong Universe can be achieved with just the Saint Realm, which is only the initial stage of the three-star level.

The world of Martial Universe.

Cao Ya's consciousness withdrew from the system space and returned to his body. He then left the cave where he had been cultivating for thousands of years and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside, the scenery was beautiful, and in the distance, among the mountains, there were monsters active and roaring.

This vibrant scene brought a smile to Cao Ya's face, and she felt happy.

What pleased him even more was this achievement: his rank had soared from the peak of three-star to the beginner level of four-star.

Even if the Demon Emperor were to break free from his seal immediately, he would have no worries.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Cao Ya let out a soft "hmm," looked up at the distant sky, as if she had noticed something.

After about half an hour, a figure flew in, its blue light spreading and tearing through the sky. Although its momentum was not great, a terrifying aura spread.

The monsters in the forest below seemed to sense the terrifying azure light, and even their roars became much quieter.

Then, a blue light descended and appeared on the stone platform in front of Cao Ya's cave. It revealed a man in a blue robe, tall and handsome, with black hair swaying in the breeze, making him appear extremely elegant and otherworldly.

"You've made quite a stir, haven't you?" Cao Ya raised an eyebrow and laughed heartily.

"Unlike you, who has already reached the third stage of reincarnation, right?" The man in the blue robe shook his head, looked at Cao Ya, and suddenly sighed.

"You've left me behind."

Cao Ya smiled enigmatically.

"Aokiji, back in ancient times, you didn't seem to be able to beat me either, did you?"

The man in the blue robe had a gentle expression and didn't seem to mind. He said:

"The Otherworldly Demons are stirring, and with your increased strength, our side has a greater chance of success."

The newcomer was Qingzhi, nicknamed the Azure Dragon King. He was a powerful member of the Dragon Clan with the cultivation of the Second Reincarnation Tribulation, slightly inferior to Cao Ya.

Qingzhi was also an ancient powerful being, and he knew Cao Ya, so they were old friends.

However, although the ancient war between heaven and earth sealed the Demon Emperor and defeated the Demon race, the Tianxuan Continent suffered heavy losses. Many powerful figures perished, some of whom had a few remnants of their souls and true spirits reincarnated, while others who were lucky enough to survive were also seriously injured and had to slumber for a long time to heal.

Aokiji was one of them; he turned misfortune into fortune and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Ancient powerhouses like Cao Ya, who were injured in that great battle of heaven and earth but did not need to slumber or reincarnate, are extremely rare, numbering only a handful.

Thousands of years have passed, and Cao Ya has cultivated diligently, finally reaching such a powerful level.

Even without relying on his own strength, Cao Ya is one of the top experts in the world of "Martial Universe" in terms of the Yuan Power system and the Talisman Master system!
