Faced with the threat from Cao Ya of [Battle Through the Heavens], Fu Tu Xuan's face turned as black as charcoal.
But as the loser, he really didn't have the confidence to rebuke Cao Ya of "Battle Through the Heavens".
Other Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ancient Futu Clan, such as Qingtian, Qingxuan, Xuanguang, and Motong, also changed color.
Looking at the two powerful Saint-rank Heavenly Sovereigns outside the Floating Pagoda Realm, everyone felt extremely troubled.
In "Battle Through the Heavens," Cao Ya was able to defeat Fu Tu Xuan, while in "Martial Universe," Cao Ya was able to defeat Qing Yan Jing...
What means do the ancient Futu clan have to stop these two?
there is none left!
Even though they are one of the five ancient clans, their lineage has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, spanning many tens of thousands of years.
However, in the face of absolute power, even a long history...
Not worth mentioning!
For a moment, the people of the Futu Ancient Clan were filled with despair.
They had never experienced this feeling before.
In the sky, Qingyan pondered, analyzing the pros and cons.
Although there was resentment and anger, what could be done when one was powerless against others?
Suddenly, Qing Yanjing gave a bitter laugh.
Who would have thought that the first thing she did after taking office as the Grand Elder would be to disgrace the Futu Ancient Clan?
It's not shameful at all. How could the Futu Ancient Clan possibly withstand the onslaught of those two?
Qing Yanjing thought to herself that even if she joined forces with Fu Tu Xuan, they could only stop one person at most.
The other one had no scruples whatsoever.
Even if the Spiritual and Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns of the Futu Ancient Clan fought side by side, they would be chopped down like vegetables in no time.
Qing Yanjing deeply felt the difference between sacred, spiritual, and immortal grades.
Moreover, the enemy is an extremely powerful Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign!
In the end, Qing Yanjing had no choice but to give in.
“Cao Ya, we can grant your request, but… we hope you will keep your promise! Otherwise, our Futu Ancient Clan will never let this go!” Qing Yanjing said in a deep voice, “The Futu Ancient Clan’s reputation over millions of years was not something we begged for, but something our ancestors earned with their own hands!”
[Martial Universe] Cao Ya smiled and raised his hand to receive the spiritual light that Qing Yanjing had splashed out.
A quick scan revealed a wealth of information within.
The knowledge of endless light bodies and spirit arrays is all contained within.
"Qing Yanjing, alas... you've suffered so much." Fu Tu Xuan sighed deeply.
It's not Qing Yanjing's fault.
There really was no other choice.
Only by fighting them in person can you truly feel how terrifying they are—it's beyond imagination!
It seems to stand at the pinnacle of the vast world!
Fu Tu Xuan felt that even if Ancestor Fu Tu were to be resurrected, he would probably not be able to defeat any powerful enemy!
Whoosh!
Fu Tu Xuan helplessly pointed out a finger.
As the former Grand Elder, he knew more than Qing Yanjing in many aspects of information and knowledge.
Besides the spirit array!
[Battle Through the Heavens] Cao Ya accepted it.
A quick glance revealed a variety of cultivation techniques from the ancient Futu clan, as well as cultivation methods and techniques created or collected by their ancestors throughout history.
Immediately, Cao Ya of [Battle Through the Heavens] was quite satisfied.
Seeing this, Qing Yanjing and Fu Tuxuan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although it provides the cultivation method for the Endless Light Body, it also contains a series of spiritual techniques and arrays.
However, the body-refining spiritual techniques, defensive spiritual techniques, offensive spiritual techniques, as well as many special spiritual techniques, divine arts, minor supernatural powers, and major supernatural powers, which the Futu Ancient Clan has accumulated over countless millennia, have not been given out.
Of course, the unparalleled divine power of the Futu Ancient Clan—the [Eightfold Futu]—was lost because the Futu Ancestor died in the Holy Abyss during his decisive battle with the Heavenly Demon Emperor of the extraterrestrial evil race.
This is truly the greatest regret of the ancient Futu clan!
"Qing Yanjing, you didn't give me much, did you? Divine arts and supernatural powers?" Fu Tu Xuan asked telepathically.
“No! That wasn’t one of their requests,” Qing Yanjing replied.
"That's good!" Fu Tu Xuan was slightly relieved and continued to transmit his voice, "We have the original texts for knowledge-related things, and we also have a lot of copies. Giving away a batch of them will be acceptable."
"Anyway, the clan's members can still cultivate."
"If it's weapons, elixirs, or the like..."
"If you give it away, you'll really have nothing left!"
"Moreover, Cao Ya is the most supreme saintly one. Even if he takes our supreme Dharma body, cultivation techniques and spiritual manuals, he won't be able to cultivate them. At most, he can only use them as a reference."
"Those two, one is fire-attribute and the other is lightning-attribute, but both are proficient in swordsmanship."
"Perhaps comparable to the Green-Robed Sword Saint of the Sword Domain!"
Fu Tu Xuan comforted himself.
Qing Yanjing shook her head, but did not stop Fu Tu Xuan from doing so.
Wasn't she thinking the same thing?
However, the people of the Futu tribe found it difficult to accept.
They were extremely frustrated and glared angrily at the two Cao Yas.
The two Cao Yas simply ignored it.
They were quite happy to have gotten what they wanted.
"Cao Ya, you can leave now, right?" Qing Yanjing said indifferently.
"Of course!" Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] smiled. As for the Floating Pagoda Realm, he didn't even have the thought of stepping inside to take a look.
In places where one race dominates an entire continent or a world, there's not much to see or do; the local customs and traditions aren't particularly interesting.
Most importantly, he had already offended the ancient Futu clan!
Immediately, the two Cao Ya turned and left, heading to other continents, their presence concealed, so much so that even Qing Yanjing, who was in charge of the Ancestral Tower, could not detect them.
Turning around, Qing Yanjing looked at the members of the Floating Pagoda Realm, young and old, and felt a headache coming on.
Handling various affairs is simply not her forte.
However, seeing the anger on people's faces, Qing Yanjing couldn't help but have a thought.
"This person's character... is usable!"
Qingyan pondered quietly.
The resources accumulated by the ancient Futu clan were not lost in the slightest, as for the knowledge they gave away...
Anyway, the original is still there, and it can be passed on to the clansmen.
"Perhaps we should loosen the restrictions, encourage competition, and ensure fairness and justice. Who knows, a new Earthly Sovereign, or even a Heavenly Sovereign, might emerge!"
"A blessing in disguise."
"After all, the threat from the extraterrestrial evil race has always been there."
"This crisis also shows that the strength of our Futu Ancient Clan is not yet strong enough!"
"The more Heavenly Sovereigns there are, the better!"
Qing Yanjing held up the stone tower and summoned the Heavenly Sovereigns and Earthly Sovereigns of the clan for a meeting. Even ordinary Sovereigns were allowed to listen in and had the right to speak.
With Qing Yanjing's rise to power, the entire atmosphere of the Futu Ancient Clan will surely be cleansed and undergo earth-shattering changes.
The newly formed Ancient Buddha Clan, after accumulating strength over countless ages, has also ushered in a period of explosive growth!
But that's another story.

After leaving the Floating Realm, the two Cao Ya did not linger on the Floating Continent.
They found another remote continent and dug a cave to cultivate in seclusion.
"The Endless Light Body is one of the five primordial Dharma Bodies remaining in the world. Coincidentally, it is one of each of the five ancient clans." Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] stroked his chin and said.
"Want to visit other ancient clans?" [Martial Universe] glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Hey, the five original Dharma bodies combined can condense into the Primordial World Body, a super Dharma body that has been unparalleled in the Great Thousand Worlds for billions of years!" Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] rubbed his hands together, somewhat excited.
"Aren't you tempted?"
"Not tempted." Cao Ya from [Martial Universe] answered calmly.
Cao Ya was momentarily speechless.
He muttered a couple of things.
"The path of fusing five primordial Dharma Bodies is not suitable for us." Cao Ya of [Martial Universe] said solemnly, "You should also know that there were originally ten primordial Dharma Bodies in the world. Later, due to the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race, the peak experts who cultivated the primordial Dharma Bodies fought against them and all died in battle."
"The lineage of five of the original Dharma bodies was completely severed, and even the cultivation methods were destroyed along with them."
"The remaining five are mainly due to the five ancient clans."
"Finally, if we can collect them all and cultivate them successfully, then we can indeed forge the Primordial World Body, the most powerful Dharma Body."
"But do you think this path is right for both of us?"
Faced with Cao Ya's questioning, Cao Ya from "Martial Universe" sneered.
"Our paths are one of fire and one of lightning," said Cao Ya from [Martial Universe].
“That’s true.” Cao Ya from [Battle Through the Heavens] nodded and said, “It’s not like you have to cultivate the Primal Dharma Body to become a ruler.”
"Of the three future Great Rulers, only Mu Chen cultivated the methods of his predecessors, gathered five original Dharma bodies, and relied on the [One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones] to inscribe his name on the Heavenly Ranking and advance to the Great Ruler Realm."
"People like Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, after ascending to the Great Thousand World, created all their own cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities along the way."
"He has still reached the realm of the Sovereign!"
They glanced at the Endless Light Entity but didn't pay much attention to it.
Instead, he spent more energy studying and comprehending a bunch of cultivation techniques, spiritual formulas, and spiritual arrays.
During this period, their reputation grew even stronger.
The battle outside the Floating Pagoda Realm was a grand spectacle, witnessed by countless beings on the surrounding continents, including the Floating Pagoda Continent itself.
After further inquiries and combining them with information from the Western Continent, their identities naturally came to light.
While the myriad beings in the world are somewhat surprised by the existence of one person in two bodies, they are not entirely astonished.
Who hasn't encountered clones or incarnations?
The legendary "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique can even create three clones!
However, very few people actually reach that stage.
Therefore, what shocked people even more was the terrifying strength of the two Cao Ya.
They suppressed the entire ancient Futu clan!
That's an ancient clan with two Saint-level elders, Fu Tu Xuan and Qing Yan Jing!
The fame of the five ancient clans spread far and wide, amplifying the ferocity of the two Cao Yas.
The Futu Ancient Clan also became a laughing stock among the other four ancient clans.
Undoubtedly, this stimulation only fueled the pent-up energy of the Futu Ancient Clan.
I vow to become stronger, challenge Cao Ya, and avenge my previous defeat!

Maha Continent.
Like the Floating Pagoda Continent, this is also a continent dominated by the Maha Ancient Clan, and it is one of the super continents of the Great Thousand Worlds.
It is rich in resources and has a vast land area.
It enjoys an extremely resounding reputation throughout the entire world.
Of course, much of this is thanks to the existence of the Mahagu tribe.
As one of the five ancient clans, the Maha clan was indeed extremely powerful!
In each generation, there is a Supreme Being of the Sacred Rank.
The current clan leader, Mohe Tian, is a mid-stage Saint-level expert, whose cultivation level surpasses that of Futu Xuan and Qing Yanjing by a hair's breadth.
When Emperor Yan had just established the Endless Fire Domain, Maha Tian had also taken over the Maha Ancient Clan.
In order to establish his authority and to deter various factions within the clan and forces outside the clan, Maha Tian decided to target the Endless Fire Domain, annex it, and make it a subordinate of the Maha Ancient Clan.
However, who was Emperor Yan?
Ultimately, Maha Tian was no match for Xiao Yan. His first major plan after taking power, the large-scale mobilization of the Maha Ancient Clan, was ultimately defeated by the Endless Fire Domain.
Maha Tian was thoroughly humiliated by Yan Di.
The Endless Fire Domain's fame and status also rose to the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds by stepping on the Maha Ancient Clan!
The authority of the Maha Heaven's patriarch was initially questioned after his defeat to Emperor Yan.
However, as Emperor Yan grew stronger, Maha Tianna's past failures were not only no longer a joke, but became a testament to his own strength, attracting the attention of experts from all sides.
Although the proud and arrogant Maha Deva disdained such proof.
But in the minds of other people in the world, that's how they would see it.
After all, the fact that he could fight the Flame Emperor to such an extent was enough to show that Maha Tian's strength should not be underestimated.
Over the centuries, under the leadership of Maha Tian, the strength of the Maha Ancient Clan has also increased by leaps and bounds, and has gradually gained the status of the leader of the five ancient clans.
The tribespeople also had complete faith in this chieftain.
After learning about the affairs of the Futu Ancient Clan, Maha Tian thought it over again and again, and finally cancelled his actions of adding fuel to the fire and damaging the prestige of the Futu Ancient Clan.
The people below were puzzled.
Maha Deva explained:
"In the eyes of outsiders, the five ancient clans have always been considered to be of the same level."
"The Futu Ancient Clan has lost face, and along with it, our Maha Ancient Clan, as well as the Tailing Ancient Clan, the Heitian Ancient Clan, and the Huanggu Clan, have all lost face."
"There's no need to smear it further."
In the end, everything depends on strength.
Upon hearing this, the crowd below held Maha Tian in even higher esteem.
Such magnanimity is rare in this world!
Although Maha Tian's true intention was simply not to enhance Cao Ya's reputation.
Because the last person to achieve fame by stepping on him was Emperor Yan.
Therefore, Maha Tian felt a sense of disgust towards Cao Ya.
"The Ancient Futu Clan is truly trash. Even with two Saint-level experts joining forces and a protective spirit array, they still couldn't capture Cao Ya."
Maha Tian thought to himself, and felt contempt for the ancient Futu tribe.
His defeat to Emperor Yan was due to his proactive attack, which prevented him from utilizing the full resources of the Maha Ancient Clan.
Although he used the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, the treasure of the Maha clan, it was still destroyed by Emperor Yan alone.
If it weren't for the need to consider the bigger picture and preserve the vital forces of the world to guard against the threat of extraterrestrial evil races...
He might have been beaten to death on the spot by Emperor Yan!
Whenever he thought about it, Maha Tian was filled with immense anger, and also with a deep-seated fear.
This was also the driving force that enabled him to reach the mid-stage of the Saint rank.
He is basically the number one expert among the five ancient clans!
In this vast world, only a handful of people, such as Emperor Yan, Martial Ancestor, Green-Robed Sword Saint, Demon King Qin Tian, and the Undying Lord, can surpass him.
The others are all inferior to him.
At most, they are almost the same.
But he possesses the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, a supreme treasure that surpasses ordinary Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign mid-stage.
"By the way, clan leader, about the Eternal Gathering..." Suddenly, a Celestial Supreme of Immortal Rank spoke up.
Maha Tian frowned.
The others also looked rather unwell.
The "Eternal Gathering" of the Mahagu tribe is a struggle for an immortal body.
Of the five original Dharma bodies remaining in the world, the Endless Light Body belongs entirely to the Floating Pagoda Ancient Clan, while the Supreme Spirit Holy Body, the Desolate Ancestor Body, and the Night God Ancient Body belong to the Supreme Spirit Ancient Clan, the Desolate Ancient Clan, and the Black Heaven Ancient Clan, respectively.
Because the first person to truly cultivate that original Dharma body was the ancestor of those four ancient clans.
Nature has passed down its heritage to our clan.
The first person to achieve the Eternal Immortal Body was not the ancestor of the Maha Ancient Clan, but rather—the Immortal Emperor!
Maha Patriarch was no match for the Immortal Emperor and was unfortunately defeated, losing ownership of his eternally immortal body and being eliminated from the competition.
Later, the Immortal Emperor died in battle. Before his death, he entrusted his eternally immortal body to the Maha Patriarch for safekeeping.
This is why the immortal body has remained within the Maha clan for tens of thousands of years.
However, the Great Sun Undying Body and the Immortal Golden Body, which precede the Eternal Immortal Body, are widely circulated and practiced throughout the entire Great Thousand World.
Among them are many powerful individuals from top-tier factions.
And what figure wouldn't yearn for an immortal body, to become the second immortal emperor?!
Even the Maha Ancient Clan cannot claim the cultivation method of the Eternal Immortal Body as their own.
Moreover, there is the noble title of the Immortal Emperor, which allows all living beings in the vast world to cultivate.
If the Mahagu tribe dared to do that, they would become the target of public criticism.
Those top powers are eager to find a pretext to unite and flatten the Maha Continent.
Therefore, the Maha Ancient Clan had no choice but to hold the "Eternal Gathering," summoning powerful individuals from the Great Thousand Worlds who had cultivated the Great Sun Undying Body and the Immortal Golden Body to gather in the Eternal City to compete for ownership of the Eternal Immortal Body.
This grand event, because it concerns the eternal immortal body and involves many powerful figures, has attracted the attention of the entire world.
However, for tens of thousands of years, no one has truly cultivated an immortal body.
At most, it's only at the level of Immortal Golden Body.
Therefore, that original Dharma body is still preserved on the continent of Maha.
However, the Mahagu tribe certainly did not want to continue like this.
They also wanted to emulate the other four ancient clans and possess a unique original Dharma body belonging to their own clan.
Otherwise, I often lack confidence when I speak.
They would easily be ridiculed by the four ancient tribes.
And yet, there's no way to refute it.
Naturally, they often deliberately made things difficult for other forces participating in the "Eternal Society".
And a new "Eternal Gathering" is about to be held.
They had to find a way to make things difficult for those outsiders.
The immortal body was already considered by the Maha clan to be theirs for the taking!
The Maha Ancient Clan had long forgotten the dying wish of the Immortal Emperor.
"Since those people are coming, let's make a big scene and take them all out in one go," Maha Tian said ruthlessly.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wouldn't that offend too many powerful forces?
"Anyway, once they participate in the Eternal Gathering, their lives are in the hands of fate. We didn't force them to participate, and not all those who attacked were strong members of our Maha Ancient Clan," Maha Tian sneered. "A few doubts can be completely suppressed by our clan's strength!"
Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Maha Tian was dissatisfied. His face darkened, and he was about to reprimand them when suddenly, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire Maha Continent.
"Maha Ten, come out and fight!"
