Zhou Qi's prestige in the world of evil gods had reached its peak, which goes without saying.
He went to the battlefield and staged a tragic drama with Wu Dong. His role was quite substantial, and he performed it in front of everyone for a whole year before he and Wu Dong drifted further and further apart and eventually disappeared without a trace.
Decades later, everyone assumed that the two of them had disappeared while fighting in some unknown place, unaware that they had arrived in the Immortal Cloud Holy Land of the Azure Profound World.
With Meng Fan's attainment of the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Qingxuan World has expanded to a vast area, no longer the size of a single star field of the original Thirty-Eight Worlds. Instead, it has grown wildly to the size of a Great Thousand World, completely swallowing the original Thirty-Eight Worlds.
If the Qingxuan World hadn't been created so briefly that it was unsuitable for expansion—as rapid expansion would damage its foundation—it would have already reached the standard of a Heavenly Dao World.
After thousands of years of development in the Qingxuan World, the original Thirty-Eighth World, which was based on the universe, was swallowed up by the Qingxuan World, and people were transferred to the newly born continent.
The original universe no longer exists; in its place lies a vast and boundless continent!
Those existing life forms felt nothing; it was as if they had woken up to find the air around them suddenly cleaner and their bodies much stronger.
This change is to be expected, since the Qingxuan World is at a much higher level than the original Middle Thousand World Universe.
When Meng Fan left, the Qingxuan World had not yet expanded so rapidly. After he attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Qingxuan World became popular, which is why it developed so rapidly. After seeing this, Meng Fan was also anxious to sort out the world's structure.
After all, those powerful beings from the Immortal Realm woke up to find their planet gone, and the tech giants of the Tianze Star Region even felt like they were living in a dream or under an illusion, causing some confusion for a time.
Fortunately, the Cloud Palace was full of experts. Upon discovering something was wrong, they immediately joined forces with the Junqing Chamber of Commerce to search for people in the two original star regions, and only then did they manage to accept reality with difficulty.
The news of Meng Fan's achievement of Hunyuan spread rapidly within Yunxiao Palace, and even Yunxiao Hall learned of it.
The entire Qingxuan World was in an uproar.
During this period, immortals, who are rarely seen by ordinary people, often flew through the Qingxuan World.
They didn't know the details, but they understood that something big was probably happening.
Inside the Immortal Cloud Sacred Land, the tranquil lake was already crowded with people, but they were all sitting and chatting quietly without making a sound, which kept the Immortal Cloud Sacred Land as peaceful as ever.
They all came uninvited. Although some of them were shameless, what was face compared to congratulating Meng Fan? Perhaps a single word from Meng Fan could save them millions of years of hard work.
These people were all familiar faces, ranging from Xiao Lingyun and Jingyi, who were originally Golden Immortal Overlords, to the five brothers of Xiaotian and Xiaodi, the old monk Xuanen, and the muscular Lion Overlord, to the former subordinates of Youquan Sweeper Monk and others.
"Xiaotian, do you think the Palace Master will give a sermon after attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?" Lion Tyrant's deep voice rang out.
Xiao Tian greedily inhaled the air of the Immortal Cloud Holy Land, ignoring Shi Batian's question.
"What are you pretending to be so aloof for? Didn't you hear me ask you a question?"
Lion King had no patience. He had worked with Xiaotian for many years and had long since seen through him.
Xiao Tian, with an air of superiority, was not angry when Shi Batian exposed him. He just coughed and said, "Cough cough, you are such a brute, and your words are so vulgar. Working with you all these years has been exhausting."
Seeing his elder brother showing off like this, Master Xiaodi shifted his body, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.
Seeing that Shi Batian was showing signs of anger, the old monk Xuan'en stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Fellow Daoists, it is fate that we have worked together for many years. Why be so petty?"
Lion King suddenly changed his anger and sneered, "Xuan En, you probably don't know that Xiao Tian lost his sister-in-law to me. I tried to get closer to him by speaking softly and gently, but he put on a cold and distant attitude. You be the judge."
The news spread like wildfire throughout the Cloud Palace, and Xuan En had naturally heard about it as well. He immediately fell silent, as it was indeed dishonorable to renege on a bet after losing.
Xiao Tian couldn't hold back any longer after his shameful secret was exposed. He hissed, "My sister-in-law is so beautiful and charming, how could I let a brute like you take her?"
Lion Overlord curled his lip and said, "What, since you can use your sister-in-law as a bet, then don't look down on me. But I am also a Golden Immortal, more than enough to match your sister-in-law."
Seeing that he was still persistent, Xiao Tian sneered, "My sister-in-law and Young Master Zhao Feng are in love with each other. If you have the guts, go ahead and take her away. I won't stop you."
"What?!"
These words surprised everyone around him. Who was Zhao Feng? He was a member of the Cloud Palace. Although he was a third-generation disciple, his status was much higher than theirs.
At the very least, the people of Yunxiao Palace can freely enter and leave the Immortal Cloud Holy Land, which is something they can't compare to.
"What, you've lost your nerve now?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Batian knew he couldn't back down, so he replied, "I may not have the guts, but Young Master Zhao Feng is a man of unparalleled talent, and I am far inferior to him. The problem is that since you know that the two of you are in love with each other and have even used your sister-in-law as a bet, if Young Master Zhao Feng finds out about this, I wonder if it is my sin or yours that is greater."
Shi Batian has been in charge of the Cloud Palace for many years. He doesn't have much influence in external affairs. The Cloud Palace is all-powerful, and no one dares to mess with them.
However, internally, there was infighting and backstabbing, and he had developed a keen eye for these things.
Xiao Tian was clearly being controlled by Shi Ba Tian, and he stammered, unsure of what to say.
Just as everyone was discussing this, someone in the distance shouted, "Silence! The young masters have arrived!"
As everyone's expressions turned solemn, more than thirty figures approached from afar.
Leading the way were ten third-generation disciples, including Chu Di Zhao Feng.
Behind them were the other third-generation disciples who had not undergone the initial tests. Although their identities were the same as Chu Di and the others, their statuses were worlds apart.
"We greet all of you, my esteemed masters!"
Chu Di waved his hand first and said, "Everyone has come from afar. It is a wonderful thing that we can all gather in the Immortal Cloud Holy Land today. I hope you will cherish this opportunity."
"We obey!"
When everyone saw Chu Di and his group sitting cross-legged on the lake, they all sat down as well. However, with Chu Di and his group there, the entire lake became even quieter.
A short while later, a figure appeared and said loudly, "Zhou Qi from the Evil God World greets fellow Daoists."
Then another figure appeared out of thin air.
"Wu Dong from the Extreme Mountain World greets all fellow Daoists."
They rushed as fast as they could, and arrived not too late.
