Cao Ya sighed for a while, composed himself, bid farewell to Master Zhang, and then left Shizhai for Yaochi.
The grand gathering of all races in Yaochi is about to begin. As the only Great Sage of the human race on the surface, how could he not be present to oversee the event?
However, Cao Ya was not in a hurry. At such a grand event, those with real strength would definitely be the last to appear. Who has ever seen a big shot appear first?
On this ancient star of the Big Dipper, which has just undergone a celestial change, Cao Ya, with his Great Sage-level strength, could easily be called a "big shot."
Of course, after another thousand or hundred years, when the Golden Age reaches its peak, some people become emperors, and there are countless super strong people such as those who achieve enlightenment through other means and quasi-emperors, then the Great Sage will be nothing special.
At that time, the number of Immortal Kings below the Six Great Immortals, such as the Fifth Immortal King and the Fourth Immortal King, will be quite common.
However, in the Heaven-Covering Technique, my cultivation level is truly only that of a fourth-level Immortal Saint... In the midst of this great upheaval, this cultivation level is, frankly, not quite enough...
Cao Ya felt that after this grand gathering at Yaochi, he would have to cultivate diligently for a period of time. Not to mention becoming a sixth-level immortal saint, becoming a fifth-level immortal saint king would be necessary no matter what.
One thing at a time, his formidable combat power stems entirely from the fact that he has too many selves scattered across numerous universes. In terms of the [Covering the Sky] universe itself, he is not nearly as powerful, falling short by two major realms.
Since the Heaven-Covering Technique has an extremely high upper limit, pointing directly to the seven-star level, Cao Ya thought to himself, how could he sit and wait for others to make rapid progress in their cultivation while he simply reaped the benefits?
Cao Ya concealed his presence and headed towards Yaochi. Along the way, he passed through many sacred mountains and blessed lands, most of which were in the hands of human forces. However, some of these lands had been occupied by ancient races who had defeated the human forces that originally lived there.
Cao Ya did not interfere much, because the conflict between those ancient races and human forces was still within a controllable range, and there were no casualties.
Both sides had reservations and stopped short of making a move; the winner stayed, and the loser moved out.
This left Cao Ya with little reason to interfere.
Most importantly, given his status—the only Great Sage-level being in the open among humans—if he acts recklessly, the tense situation will inevitably be ignited, and the casualties among humans will be difficult to calculate.
Because, as it stands, the number of Great Saints among the myriad races of antiquity is definitely many times greater than that of the human race.
The Jade Pool Gathering is a perfect platform for resolving conflicts among the myriad races.
The best option would be to make a decisive decision at that grand event, shocking all the ancient races.
Just like the ancient royal family, they also had the same idea: to flex their muscles at the Yaochi Grand Gathering, intimidate the various forces of the human race, and occupy the famous mountains and rivers on this ancient star.
Those who jumped earlier were mostly ordinary ancient races. The powerful ancient royal families, and even some ancient royal families, remained silent, observing the situation and analyzing the changes of the new era.
Although the Divine Valley was an ancient royal family, they were blinded by greed and became the first to stick their necks out. In the end, Cao Ya activated the Devouring Demon Jar, which wiped them out in one blow, leaving no trace of their bodies.
But times have changed. All parties have agreed to gather at Yaochi and not to act recklessly in private. The ancient royal family has complied, and the Great Sage has not acted arbitrarily after his birth. Correspondingly, the human race must also abide by the agreement.
How could Cao Ya, a Great Sage of the Human Race, voluntarily break this treaty? Wouldn't that give the ancient royal family a handle to use against him?
Moreover, in those minor skirmishes—no one dared to kill, otherwise they would be going against the great saints of all sides—the human forces, though defeated, also won quite a few.
Furthermore, if Cao Ya acts recklessly, then the myriad ancient races will follow suit. In the end, the ultimate imperial weapons and ancient emperor weapons will be mobilized, the six great saints of immortality will fight a bloody battle, shaking the outer starry sky, shattering stars, and stardust will fall to the edge of the universe. That scene will be extremely terrifying, even the supreme beings of the forbidden zones will be awakened, the ancient star of the Big Dipper may be destroyed, and the dark turmoil will arrive ahead of schedule.
Cao Ya wasn't that utterly depraved; he had many concerns, so he naturally couldn't act recklessly.
If I'm strong enough, even if I don't become an Emperor, but am at the peak of a Quasi-Emperor, or even at the level of a Dao Achiever, I could keep this Emperor Burial Star under control before the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone cause an uproar...
Cao Ya sighed softly. In short, it all boils down to one sentence: if you're not strong enough, you'll naturally have more things to worry about.
"None of the ancient races are the greatest enemy; the supreme beings of those forbidden zones are..."
Cao Ya whispered, her heart heavy.
This golden age also means that the greatest dark period in history is not far off.
The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone are all five-star super powerhouses. Even if they are not as powerful as the Great Emperors at their peak, they can still possess that kind of power in a short period of time if they are fully sublimated.
Moreover, there are so many supreme beings in the restricted area.
Seven forbidden zones for life!
Even excluding the Forbidden Land after the Ruthless Great Emperor took over, there are still six forbidden zones for life.
The Eastern Wilderness is filled with forbidden zones for life. When Cao Ya was inspecting the Eastern Wilderness with the Devouring Demon Jar, he visited the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Outside the Primordial Ancient Mine, a supreme being from a forbidden zone was awakened and casually pointed a finger at him. Fortunately, with the help of the Devouring Demon Jar, he was spared from disaster.
It was also the wrong timing. The supreme being of the forbidden zone was awakened for a moment, and after pointing out a finger, he quickly fell into a deep sleep. Otherwise, Cao Ya would be dead by now.
Having personally faced the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, Cao Yafang has a deeper understanding of the Supreme Being's terror.
This time, Cao Ya only observed from a distance, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine.
After pausing to watch for a while, Cao Ya left, passing by the ancient Jiang family. He released a wisp of his aura and came into contact with the Jiang family's God King. Then, the white-robed God King Jiang Taixu appeared, carrying the Hengyu Furnace, and descended through the sky.
The sunset glow fell upon him, imbuing him with a sacred light that made Jiang Taixu appear otherworldly.
Jiang Taixu looked heroic and young, but the vicissitudes in his eyes revealed that this white-robed god-king was no longer a young man.
Dressed in snow-white robes fluttering in the wind, stepping against the sunset, she was like a dream, her fleeting elegance and unparalleled grace captivating all who beheld her.
"Jiang Taixu, the White-Clad Divine King, truly lives up to his reputation; he is indeed a peerless talent!" Cao Ya exclaimed.
"Great Sage, you flatter me." Jiang Taixu shook his head, flipped his hand, and put away the Hengyu Furnace, no longer revealing it directly.
It is foreseeable that many ancient royal families will attend this grand gathering at Yaochi. Such forces have all produced ancient emperors, possess ancient imperial weapons to suppress their foundations, and have their divine sources sealed away. There are also powerful beings at the Great Sage level who have now emerged to attend this grand gathering of all races. It is conceivable that they will bring ancient imperial weapons with them.
Without an ultimate imperial weapon, the human race would be far too insecure.
Ancient imperial weapons, only supreme imperial weapons can contend with them!
Just like the ancient emperors, only the great emperors of antiquity could rival them.
Those who attain enlightenment through unconventional means are always slightly inferior to the Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns at their peak.
“Back when I was trapped in Zishan, I became neighbors with the Great Sage Cao Ya, but we never had the chance to meet,” Jiang Taixu said.
Cao Ya smiled.
Indeed, both of them had been trapped in Purple Mountain and confined within the Divine Source, and were both rescued by Ye Fan.
However, these kinds of neighbors are quite funny, making people both laugh and cry.
