"Is this Heavenly Realm expert also from our Western Regions?"
A powerful expert at the Earthly Realm asked with concern.
"Yes, he is one of my fellow Daoists, also from the Six Paths Great World, who has been resurrected in the Western Regions."
Emperor Fu nodded.
"I see."
Everyone suddenly understood.
"You don't need to worry too much. This fellow Daoist is coming and will likely make a move against the Heavenly Dragon God, but he won't kill him."
The Emperor Fu knew that Han Feng's main purpose in coming was for the Dao Jade and treasures.
The Heavenly Dragon God's strength may even surpass that of the Myriad Paths Dragon Emperor at his peak.
It will be very difficult for Han Feng to kill the Heavenly Dragon God.
"Senior, is there any way to get this senior to take action and kill the Heavenly Dragon God? We are willing to pay any price."
A powerful expert at the Earthly Realm made the request.
"Yes, I agree, no matter the cost."
"This Heavenly Dragon God is too hateful. He has eaten so many people from our Western Regions and caused so many people to lose their relatives, friends, children and so on."
"Senior, please be kind enough to introduce us. We have suffered too much oppression from the Heavenly Dragon God and do not want to continue like this."
......
The crowd pleaded with the Emperor, hoping he would reveal the name of this person.
“You don’t need to beg me. I used to be from the Western Regions, after all. If I have a way, I will definitely tell you.”
Fu Huangdao.
"Thank you, senior."
Everyone was overjoyed, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.
"Please be patient. When the time comes, one of my fellow Daoists will notify me, and I will take you there."
Fu Huangdao.
Thank you.
Everyone expressed their gratitude once again.
...
The center of the Western Regions.
This place is occupied by seven Dao Kingdoms, named from the First Extreme to the Seventh Extreme.
The kings of the seven kingdoms all belonged to the same family, and that family's surname was Zhong.
Every thousand years, this family holds a grand meeting.
"Our ancestor has been missing for five thousand years. I wonder what has become of him."
"Clan Chief Zhongli sighed."
"Alas, the Ancestor's desire for the Dao is very strong. He will not give up until he breaks through to the Heavenly One Realm. Breaking through is not a problem, but I'm afraid that something might happen to the Ancestor along the way."
Deputy clan chief Zhong Kui said with concern.
At this time, the Zhong family was facing a shortage of capable successors, with only five Earth-Heaven Realm experts remaining in the entire family.
The time for the centennial ceremony is approaching. The Zhong family controls seven immortal kingdoms and will have to provide many people as sacrifices.
Among them, there may be two experts at the Earthly Realm.
The sudden emergence of two Earthly Realm experts has greatly weakened the Zhong family's strength.
At that time, the seven Dao Kingdoms controlled by the Zhong family may very well lose control.
This is not simply a matter of losing control; it could very well lead to the annihilation of the entire Zhong family.
The Zhong family has held this position for a long time and has many enemies.
Once they lose power, the entire Zhong family will be wiped out.
When one power in the Western Regions is destroyed, many other powers will take advantage of the situation to kick it while it's down.
No matter how good or benevolent this force was in life, it will suffer a devastating blow.
It's not that the people of the Western Regions are bad, but rather it's due to the unique sacrificial rites of the Western Regions.
A grand ceremony is held every hundred years, with the forces to be destroyed being the first priority, followed by some criminals.
Finally, some families or Dao kingdoms began to gather enough people to meet the requirements of the Heavenly Dragon God.
The Zhong family controls seven or eight Dao Kingdoms, which has long aroused dissatisfaction among others.
Many people would like to see the Zhong family destroyed, so that there would be far fewer sacrifices in the next hundred years.
At this time, the Zhong family was facing a generational gap, and many powerful forces were eyeing them covetously.
The one who was able to stabilize the situation in the middle was the patriarch of the Zhong family.
A late-stage Earthly Realm expert, very close to the Heavenly Realm.
It can be said that there are few people in the entire Western Regions who are stronger than the patriarch of the Zhong family.
"Try again, try contacting the ancestor and see if you can get in touch with him."
"No need, I've already contacted them, but there's been no response at all."
"I hope the host is alright. If this kind of ritual continues, my Zhong family will soon be unable to withstand it."
"Why don't we give up this territory? The seven Dao Kingdoms can obtain a lot of resources, but they can't afford the sacrifices every hundred years."
"I also think we should give up the Dao Kingdom. We gave up the Dao Kingdom before, and the pressure was much less."
...
The elders of the Zhong family advised their patriarch, Zhong Li, to give up the Dao Kingdom they possessed.
Zhongli was very reluctant to give up. These Dao Kingdoms were all painstakingly built by the Ancestor, and it would be a pity to give them up.
"Chieftain, please make a decision quickly. I know you are very reluctant, but there is no other way now."
"Giving up sooner might save the entire Zhong family."
"Now is not the time to hesitate. The sacrifices every hundred years are disgusting, and many of the younger generation are already dissatisfied."
...
The elders of the Zhong family all tried to persuade him.
Zhongli nodded helplessly and said, "You are right. It is time to give up. I have decided to give up six Dao Kingdoms, leaving only one Dao Kingdom."
"Ah, Chieftain, you're giving up way too much, giving up six at once."
"I think giving up three is enough; we can still handle the remaining four."
"Six is really too many; a little less would be better."
...
The elders of the Zhong family tried to persuade him again.
Zhongli sighed and said, "You're saying too much, but it's not much at all. If our ancestor is gone, we'll have to settle down and prepare for the future."
"It's a little better if we do it ourselves. It's a different story if we wait for others to do it. This time, the sacrifice involves three Earth Realm experts."
"Our Zhong family only has two Earth Realm experts left. We can only be considered a first-rate force now, not a top-tier force."
"If a first-rate power controls a kingdom that only top-tier powers possess, sooner or later the entire family will be wiped out. Since Zhang is going to die, let's just end it quickly."
The Zhong family elders reluctantly agreed, all feeling that Zhong Li's words made sense.
"There will be no need for sacrifices from now on."
A familiar voice appeared.
"Ancestor!!!"
The elders of the Zhong family immediately realized what was happening.
Zhongli couldn't help but exclaim emotionally, "Ancestor, you're finally back!"
The old man laughed and said, "Little Li, you've been the clan leader for so long, yet you're still like a child, without any cunning."
"In front of the ancestor, I am still a child."
Zhongli wiped away the tears from her eyes.
"Alright, stop with the sentimental stuff. You're all getting on in years, aren't you ashamed?"
The old man from the extreme path called for a stop in time.
"Ancestor, what is your cultivation level?"
Zhongli's cultivation level had also reached the late stage of the Earthly Heaven Realm, and he could roughly discern the cultivation level of the Elder of the Extreme Path.
Now he could see the cultivation level of the old man from the highest realm, but he couldn't discern his exact level for the time being.
"I have broken through."
The old man from the highest level laughed.
"Early stage of the Heavenly Realm?"
Zhongli asked excitedly.
