"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your sect's advancement to a four-star sect!"
"A hundred years from now, the Blackwater Palace will gladly drink three hundred cups of wine with you, fellow Daoist, and also invite you to drink a few cups as a wedding gift from me and the Old Mother of the Moon!"
"I am Hai Pili, a rogue cultivator. Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your sect's advancement to a four-star sect. I wonder if you have the courage to accept me a hundred years from now? Although I am a Great Venerable of the Ancient Era, I have offended far too many bastards..."
More than ten top-tier Ancient-level Grand Venerables sensed the spatial anomaly. When they slightly raised their heads, enormous faces appeared in the boundless sky. They congratulated the other party on advancing to a four-star sect. Instantly, clouds parted and rain fell, thunder roared, and their power was unparalleled, seemingly transcending the mortal realm. However, each of their words contained their own hidden agendas.
When a new sect enters a four-star area, it needs to select a sect headquarters.
A three-star sect is too small. Even if it brings its sect and the lands of its affiliated forces, the area it occupies is less than half the size of the weakest affiliated country within a four-star sect. A new sect entering a four-star region is like a small boat sailing into the ocean, where it is met with a much wider world and terrifying, towering waves. Therefore, in order to protect newly established sects, the rules of the Great World will grant them ten times the land. Within this land, no Dao Spirit level Grand Venerable can enter for a hundred years.
At the same time, the rules of the Great World will give the leader a certain boost to his cultivation, so even the Blackwater Palace Master wouldn't dare say that he could easily destroy the Free and Unfettered Sect a hundred years later.
Back then, Blackwater Palace became one of the overlords of the four-star region just over a hundred years ago!
"Damn it, we must speed up the capture of Fang Zong. If Fang Zong escapes for a hundred years, there might be sects that oppose me, although the probability is very small..."
Thinking this, the Blackwater Palace Master once again extended a friendly gesture to the visiting sect, inviting them to a celebratory drink a few cups of wine a hundred years from now.
"Kyle, Vice Sect Master of the Free and Unfettered Sect; Morgana; Emiros; Yu Rong'er; and Murong Yingxiong, the only true disciple of the sect master, greet all the ancient venerable ones."
The sound, amplified by the mountain-protecting formation, roared across the dim sky like muffled thunder and a fierce wind.
After these words, the Blackwater Palace Master and more than a dozen other top-tier Ancient-level Grand Venerables were stunned.
Deputy Sect Master? The Sect Master's only true disciple?
They were incredibly powerful; with just a few words, they could tell that these so-called deputy sect leaders possessed only the strength of the peak of the Imperial Dao realm, and at most, they would become the fourth-rank Great Venerable in a hundred years. The so-called sole true disciple was even worse—a mere first-rank Imperial Dao cultivator, not even as good as the guard dogs kept within their sect.
What makes you think you can advance to a four-star sect?
Where is your party leader?
Thinking this, they became even more wary of the elusive leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Just as they were about to exchange a few polite words, the small boat that the Free and Unfettered Sect was on truly entered the area of a four-star sect. It paused briefly in mid-air before crashing into the territory of the Earth Dragon Sect, a subordinate sect of the Blackwater Palace.
The Blackwater Palace Master was stunned.
Several dozen feet high in the sky, each with a different large face, almost simultaneously looked towards the location of the Blackwater Palace. The gloating gazes were revealed by the majestic faces covering the sky, vividly portrayed, and had a particularly humorous and funny flavor.
The area where the four-star sect is located is sparsely populated.
The Free and Unfettered Sect could have chosen many places, but they chose to plant their flag at the Earth Dragon Gate. This shows they were confident they could destroy the Earth Dragon Gate, and that even a hundred years from now, the Earth Dragon Gate might not take the Blackwater Palace seriously.
"Xiaoyao Sect, what do you mean by this?" The Blackwater Palace Master's handsome face turned ashen.
Upon hearing the enraged question, Holy Kyle's golden wings, enhanced by the mountain-protecting formation, were revealed. His cold, unapproachable face met the Blackwater Palace Master's gaze, and he asked, "Blackwater Palace?"
"yes."
"A hundred years from now, the Blackwater Palace will be judged to have turned to ashes by the sword of justice!"
Holy Kyle didn't bother with any nonsense and directly declared war.
The Blackwater Palace Master's face turned even uglier. He was very confused, wondering how he had offended a small three-star sect. No, the other party had already advanced to a four-star sect.
The Thousand-Eyed Grandmaster leaned closer and said, "Our ancestor destroyed many three-star sects before they were promoted to four-star sects. It must have been during that time that the enmity was formed."
"No matter how I made enemies, I only want to destroy them."
The Blackwater Palace Master said coldly.
Then, after a quick calculation, he chuckled, because when they were hunting Fang Zong, they had dispatched many Ancient-level Grand Venerables, two of whom happened to be within the Earth Dragon Gate's territory. Due to the restrictions of the Great World's laws, he couldn't enter, nor could he send anyone in, but those already inside were an exception.
"Illusion and Flowing Light are quite powerful; they're not like those slave-like Ancient-level Grand Venerables within the Earth Dragon Gate. Thousand Eyes, pass down the order to continue the pursuit of Fang Zong. As for the Free and Unfettered Gate..."
He smiled with absolute certainty: "I'm afraid the Xiaoyao Sect will be destroyed in less than three months."
...
Fang Zong is being frantically pursued outside.
At this moment, Fang Zong opened the outer gate of the house, touched his nose, and lit a cigarette with a wry smile.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
Outside the door were, of course, all the members of the Xiaoyao Sect. Kyle and Morgana had long lost their arrogant demeanor. They stared at Fang Zong and lowered their heads slightly. Emiros rubbed his messy hair and growled, "Fine, you've become a Heavenly Flood-level Grand Venerable after all these years. I'm impressed."
There's also Yu Rong'er, an elder from the Xiaoyao Sect, and Murong Yingxiong, a disciple she took in when she first entered the Great World.
Further ahead of these people stood two women with distinct personal styles.
Without a word, Sophia clung to Fang Zong, her arms and legs wrapping around him like water snakes. Li Xiaoran suddenly opened his eight arms, bringing a bone-chilling coldness, then withdrew the coldness and walked behind Fang Zong to wrap his arms around his waist.
“If we don’t come, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will come in person. They want me and Li Xiaoran to scold you for risking your life for no reason.”
Okay, so this is an order to scold him.
Fang Zong accepted the offer with a smile, then patted the two women's hair and said in an unquestionable tone, "Go back."
"No..." The two women naturally refused.
However, in the next moment, they were enveloped by a warm power, and the familiar earth-fire miniature world surged, instantly loving them a hundred thousand times. When they regained consciousness, they were already dressed and thrown into the passage to Earth.
Fang Zong, still savoring the moment, licked his lips, snapped his fingers, and he, Xiu Hua, and the others from the Xiaoyao Sect moved to another location.
High in the sky, beneath the clouds, hundreds of terrifying beasts, each a thousand feet tall, galloped wildly, controlled by six Grand Venerables of the lower four ranks.
Two are below Heaven, three are above Earth, and the rest are all the most powerful among the four lower-level Venerables!
"Too slow," Fang Zong chuckled softly.
With another snap of his fingers, Dongfang Hong and the entire army he had subdued were suddenly teleported to the very front of the raging behemoth.
