Just as Xu Feng continued to cultivate in the Six Yang True Fire Refining Heart Lamp, preparing to cultivate the Emperor-level Nine Hells Burning World Demon Suppression Sutra to perfection in one fell swoop, there was a dead silence in the meeting hall of the Netherworld Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of the Netherworld Pavilion, Xiao Jiuyin, had a gloomy face and eyes full of anger. After a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Ouyang Ling has been confirmed to have been killed. It has been more than a year. Hasn't the person who killed him been found yet?"

The head of the Deacon Hall stood up, bowed to Xiao Jiuyin and said, "Pavilion Master, it is said that the first person to break into the formation was the free and easy wanderer Wu Qidao. However, according to the cultivators who entered with him, after Wu Qidao rushed to the top of the mountain, he did not find Ouyang Ling and the imperial weapon..."

At this moment, an ordinary elder of the Netherworld Pavilion interrupted and said, "It is said that there is a stone lamp in the absolute formation, which is very likely to be an innate chaos spiritual treasure. Has anyone seen this stone lamp?"

The head of the Deacon Hall shook his head and said, "It disappeared without a trace!"

"Hmph, it must be Ouyang Ling who took it. He is very familiar with that innate formation. There is no reason for him to leave such a Chaos Spirit Treasure untaken!" said an elder with a cold snort.

“So now all the accusations are directed at the murderer who killed Ouyang Ling. Whether it’s the broken imperial sword or the stone lamp that looks like a Chaos Spirit Treasure, they should all be in the hands of the murderer who killed Ouyang Ling!”

“It’s been more than a year. Not only are we looking for him, but the Baimai Immortal Sect, and even other small and medium-sized sects and independent cultivators in the upper realm are all looking for him. It’s just that…” The head of the Deacon Hall shook his head and said, “It’s just that this person has not revealed any trace. We even used the Flowing Light Backtracking Divine Ability to search, but we couldn’t find his existence. His traces seem to be covered up by the Heavenly Dao…”

"Then investigate among those who can be covered by the Heavenly Dao!" Xiao Jiuyin said coldly: "The cultivators covered by the Heavenly Dao are nothing more than the natives who have been promoted from the lower realms. They are not from the upper realms, and they do not belong to the upper realms. They do not have the traces of the Heavenly Dao of the upper realms..."

"Pavilion Master, this number is a bit too large!" The head of the Deacon Hall frowned; "Humph, idiot!" Xiao Jiu looked at the head of the Deacon Hall coldly and said: "What is Ouyang Ling's strength? Even without the ultimate formation, he has advanced to the peak of the emperor level. He can kill a peak emperor level cultivator with a broken emperor weapon. How can his strength be low?"

"Let's look for them among the cultivators who are from the lower realms and have reached the peak of the Emperor level or the upper level of the Emperor level!" Xiao Jiuyin snorted coldly, "There are some such people among the great elders of Baimai Xianzong, but there are more of them among those independent cultivators. Let's investigate the great elders of Baimai Xianzong first, and then investigate those independent cultivators who are famous and powerful, especially the cultivators who have hardly shown up this year!"

"As you command, Pavilion Master!"

…

After all, it involves a broken imperial weapon and a suspected innate chaos magic treasure. The core of the imperial weapon has been damaged, and the small world inside has collapsed. For a peak emperor-level powerhouse, it is just a powerful weapon. However, the stone lamp that is suspected to be an innate chaos magic treasure is very likely to be a complete chaos magic treasure, and the small world inside it must be complete. As long as you have this magic treasure and integrate the small world that the magic treasure is in, although the magic treasure will be destroyed, it can allow a peak emperor-level cultivator to be promoted to the emperor level. There is almost no cultivator in the upper realm who can resist this temptation. In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed. Xu Feng has also practiced in the Refining Heart Lamp for one hundred and sixty to seventy years. The Nine Hells Burning World Demon Suppression Sutra is only one step away from perfection. At this time, the nine Burning World Demon Suppression Prisons behind Xu Feng are like nine suns, with blazing flames burning around them.

At this time, the Nine Hells were only one step away from evolving into a small world, but in the Heart Refining Lamp, Xu Feng had spent ten years on this step, but he still couldn't take that step; "Could it be that the small world in the Heart Refining Lamp can't withstand the evolution of another small world?" Xu Feng guessed in his heart: "It seems that if I want to take the last step, I still have to try it in the real world!"

Thinking of this, Xu Feng finally ended his retreat and walked out of the small world inside the Refining Heart Lamp;

In the real world, only a little over a year had passed, and few people in the entire sect cared about Xu Feng's retreat. For cultivators above the King level, retreat and cultivation usually took "years" as the unit, and it was common for them to be in retreat for several years or even more than ten years.

At this moment, Xu Feng looked like an ordinary person, without any fluctuation of aura on his body. If he was not wearing the attire of the Qinglian Sect's Grand Elder, the sect's law enforcement disciples would probably have stepped forward to stop him, thinking that he was a newly-initiated outer disciple who had sneaked in here.

"The Eternal Devouring Art and the Star Body still have some flaws. It is better to go to the Wanjie Tower first and practice these two things to perfection!" Xu Feng said secretly in his heart as he looked at the Wanjie Tower towering into the clouds in the distance.

Just as Xu Feng entered the Wanjie Tower and continued to increase the level of his calamity power, a rainbow light suddenly came back from the sky and flew towards the Qinglian Sect's meeting hall; boom~ a thunder sound resounded throughout the Qinglian Mountain, and Deputy Sect Master Qiu hurried to the meeting hall. At this time, in front of a stone statue of the Qinglian Sword Immortal in the meeting hall, a talisman was quietly floating. The previous thunder sound came from this talisman.

When Deputy Sect Leader Qiu saw the talisman, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, bowed to the talisman, and then shouted loudly: "Qinglian Sect Deputy Sect Leader Qiu Zonghai, listen to the Sect Leader's message!"

Soon, a slightly hurried but unusually loud voice rang out throughout the meeting hall;

"All the emperor-level cultivators of the Qinglian Sect have one year to come to the ancient forbidden area. There will be a great opportunity that is rare in a thousand years! In addition, the heavenly way of the star field in the upper realm is damaged, and it is impossible for emperor-level strongmen to appear. If you want to advance to the emperor level, you need to go deep into the ten forbidden areas of the void. Spread this news in the upper realm! I have created a piece of heaven and earth in the ancient forbidden area. If the cultivators of the upper realm are willing to come to the ancient forbidden area to advance to the emperor level, they will be protected by me for a period of time!"
