An enlightenment tree, standing on the highest peak of the Dao Temple, rises from the ground and reaches the sky.

Covering the sky and the sun.

The growth of the Enlightenment Tree also represents one thing.

The Temple of the Great Dao has changed its owner from today onwards.

Shen Mi summoned several top executives from Wanbao Pavilion, and through a series of means such as coercion and threats, he quickly took over the Dao Temple in its entirety.

The temple and the sacred mountain are still here.

For ordinary monks, it actually doesn't have much impact.

However, the shocking crack on the ladder is a constant reminder to everyone.

The Temple of the Great Dao has undergone tremendous changes.

...

Northern snowfields.

White is the unchanging tone here all year round.

The further north you go, the more ice and snow it becomes. No living creature can survive here.

But in the far north, at the edge of the world, there is an oasis that is immune to wind and cold.

In the very center of the oasis, there stands a towering tree, like a pillar of the world, standing between heaven and earth.

The big tree is a small world in itself. At the top, there is a green palace that looks like a fairyland.

Inside the Immortal Palace, five figures with extremely gloomy auras sat cross-legged facing each other.

If Ye Suifeng were here, he would find that these five people were the ones he had seen in the void.

The Great Treasure Master, the Temple Master, and those who have integrated their divine consciousness into the entire northern snowfield are all among them.

“The sacred mountain is gone.”

A man wrapped in black armor suddenly spoke.

He is the master of the temple.

"Alas, it's only been two days and he has taken over Tianfu Academy, Wanbao Pavilion, and Dao Temple. He is too fast." An old man with flowing white hair sighed.

He is the master of Wanbao Pavilion.

"Damn it, then he's going to attack my empire next?" A man in a red dragon robe said with a bad temper.

"Not necessarily. He might go to my temple." said another skinny man with cloth strips wrapped all over his body.

Afterwards, the five of them fell silent again.

"hehe."

The Great Treasure Master suddenly laughed and said, "I never thought that the five of us, after fighting for tens of thousands of years, would have to give up everything we created and hide here."

The temple master shook his head and said, "In fact, I have long observed that there is a fog that obscures the wheel of fate."

"But who would have thought that such a ferocious beast would be hidden in this mist."

"Moreover, his rise was so fast that there was no time to react."

Several people nodded.

As the most powerful existence above the ceiling of this world, how could they have imagined that an incomprehensible existence would emerge and use its overwhelming power to instantly shatter their ten-thousand-year layout.

"In fact, I also predicted the existence of this anomaly several years ago."

At this time, the only woman among the five spoke.

She said slowly: "In the beginning, I thought he would be a threat to the North, so I used some means to eliminate him."

Everyone was stunned.

"You have killed him, so what is this now?" asked the man in dragon robe.

The woman shook her head and said, "No, I killed someone else."

"Later I found out that the man was a family head in a small town on the northern border, named Ye Zhenguang."

"And the person who is currently seeking the divine object is called Ye Suifeng."

"They are father and son."

After the woman finished speaking, everyone else was stunned and looked shocked.

They have known each other for thousands of years and are very familiar with each other's methods.

The woman was well versed in the art of calculating the heavens and the earth. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for her to make a mistake in her calculations.

Unless there is a terrifying existence far superior to them, blocking the road, it is possible that the result of the calculation will be offset.

But why did that person do that?

To save Ye Suifeng?

But does Ye Suifeng need protection?

Countless questions arise in their minds.

"What happened at that time?" asked Dabaozhu with a frown.

The woman sighed softly and said, "A few years ago, when I was using the divine object to further my training, I suddenly felt a palpitation in my heart."

"So, I performed some Taoist calculations."

"It turned out that a gray star had risen in a small area on the south side of the high ridge. That star is likely to have an impact on the situation in the north."

"After further calculations, the gray star settled on Ye Zhenguang."

The woman looked a little confused as she spoke, "But Ye Zhenguang and his entire family are not special at all. They are just ordinary cultivators."

"But for the sake of safety, I still used some tricks to make him die accidentally in the Qinggu High Ridge."

Everyone frowned. This kind of thing was commonplace for them. Everyone had used similar methods to nip the threat in the bud.

"At that time, Ye Suifeng was also very ordinary?" asked Master Dabao.

"Extremely ordinary."

The woman nodded and said, "His talent for cultivation is extremely poor. He is still in the Qi refining stage at the age of thirty. He is not much different from a mortal who cannot cultivate."

"So, after I killed Ye Zhenguang, I stopped paying attention to him."

Master Dabao nodded, this is a very normal operation.

There are more than billions of people in the world, so it is impossible for them to pay attention to a thirty-year-old who is still practicing Qi cultivation.

"However, half a year before Ye Zhenguang's death, things changed again."

The woman continued, "That day, a very strange and extremely powerful consciousness suddenly swept across the northern snowfields."

"After I sensed it, I immediately rushed over, but the man withdrew his consciousness."

"I looked up at the sky and found a destiny hidden in the deep fog."

"And a few months later, something went wrong in the void. When we arrived, we found nothing."

Everyone nodded. Everyone was present at the incident.

In the end, nothing unusual was found, and in the end, it could only be concluded that it was an accident.

"From that day on, I realized that this matter seemed to be out of control."

The woman said, "So, for safety reasons, I cut off all the time fragments of killing Ye Zhenguang, and erased all the causes and effects related to me."

Master Dabao frowned and asked, "So, at that time, you discovered something was wrong?"

"Yes."

The woman nodded. "Now it seems that we have fallen into an even more terrifying conspiracy."

“I’ll go!”

The man in the dragon robe stared at her and said loudly: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

The woman glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don't forget, at that time, we were both competitors and enemies, and I was at a disadvantage."

"Also, it was only after these recent events that I began to suspect that there was a bigger chessboard that had us trapped inside."

After finishing speaking, several people fell into deep silence.

As the strongest in the world, they use the world as their chessboard and all living beings as their chess pieces.

He thinks he is in a supreme position and controls the fate of all living beings.

But they didn't expect it themselves.

It's nothing more than a chess piece controlled by others.

and.

I'm afraid it will be cleared off the board soon.
