"A fragment of the mark cannot be formed casually; it requires an extremely large amount of mark spiritual power!"
"What's truly astonishing is that the entire Heavenly Dao Mark was actually formed from four incredibly precious fragments of the mark!"
"To this day, three fragments of the mark have appeared in the world throughout the nine cities of the Imperial Road."
"One of them is with Yuan Changsheng, the head of the Yuan clan."
"The other piece belongs to the exceptionally talented divine son of the Celestial Clan, Celestial Shao Chu."
"As for the last piece, it is in the possession of an ancient being named Zixiao, who attained enlightenment through unconventional means."
"I must say, these three are truly the most powerful beings on the Emperor's Road!"
"Apart from the Divine Child of Heaven, who is at the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, the other two are all peerless experts at the peak of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor."
"It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most likely candidates to become emperors in this world!"
However, nothing in this world is absolute.
"Although these three are dazzling, there are actually many unfathomable figures hidden in the ninth level of the Emperor's Road."
"For example, that ancestor from the ancient demon court has a foundation that is unimaginably profound."
"And those old ancestors from the Nine Lands are also renowned for their prestige."
"Of course, our own ancestors from the Beast Emperor Clan are not to be underestimated, in addition to the ancestors of those immortal forces and mysterious hidden families and sects... Each of them has extraordinary strength and methods."
When Yuan Zhexian heard this news, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly: "I never imagined that in just a few hundred years, my father would have soared from the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor to such a terrifying ninth level of Quasi-Emperor!"
At the same time, he was quite surprised that the divine son of the Celestial Clan had also reached the eighth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Then, Yuan Zhexian turned his gaze to those people and asked expressionlessly, "Is that all?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man at the head of the group tensed up and hurriedly shook his head vigorously, replying, "Sir, we have told you everything we know. Please, have mercy and spare us!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian snorted coldly and said without any mercy, "Hmph, when did I say I would spare you? Now that you have finished explaining, get on your way!"
"This can also be considered an explanation to those humans who were harmed by you, so that they can rest in peace."
After speaking, Yuan Zhexian instantly mobilized the powerful Zhou Zhundi power within his body. He suddenly stretched out one hand and waved it forward.
In an instant, three dazzling golden beams shot out like lightning, striking the three people with perfect accuracy.
Three screams rang out simultaneously, and the three men's faces immediately showed extreme terror.
Immediately afterwards, their bodies began to scatter like broken porcelain, turning into countless tiny fragments in the blink of an eye, drifting away with the wind.
Without a doubt, the three died on the spot, without even a sliver of hope.
At that moment, everyone was surprised to find that three extremely tiny golden spiritual energy points were floating in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian reached out and took them without hesitation, examining them closely. He muttered to himself, "Could this be the legendary imprint spiritual power? How can it be so small?"
But soon he chuckled self-deprecatingly, then muttered to himself, "Oh well, whatever, even a fly's leg is meat."
After a brief pause, Yuan Zhexian seemed to have thought of something important. He narrowed his eyes slightly, gazed into the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Now, three fragments of the mark have appeared in the world, which means there is still one last fragment."
"Looks like the time for the hunt has come!"
Then, Yuan Zhexian vanished from his spot in an instant, like a ghost.
At that very moment, outside the magnificent palace on the ninth floor of the Imperial Road, four figures were strolling leisurely and chatting animatedly.
An old man walking in front spoke first, asking, "Chang Sheng, hundreds of years have passed now. I really wonder how those little fellows from the Immortal Realm are doing? What level are they on now?"
The young man, known as Changsheng, smiled slightly and replied confidently, "Father, don't you know this child, the Immortal? I'm sure we'll be reunited here soon."
At this moment, another elderly man with white hair among the four nodded slowly, expressing his agreement: "That's right, Yuan Xun, the Divine Child Yuan Zhexian has a heaven-defying physique, and his talent and aptitude are indeed unprecedented and unparalleled throughout the ages. With his strength, we really don't need to worry too much."
However, the old man changed the subject and continued, "But the most crucial issue right now is that the divine son of the Celestial Clan should not be underestimated either."
"This person's strength has improved extremely rapidly, and he is about to step into the threshold of the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. More importantly, the physique he possesses is the most mysterious and unpredictable Heavenly Dao Forbidden Physique among the ten physiques."
"In my opinion, by then, his strength may not be inferior to that of Changsheng."
"Not only that, recently, many of the quasi-Emperor level experts among the myriad races of ferocious beasts have chosen to stand on their side, which has made them even more powerful."
At this moment, another voice rang out: "Moreover, according to reliable sources, during this period, an extremely mysterious and powerful individual has appeared. This person is agile and exceptionally strong, and is frantically slaughtering quasi-Emperor level experts."
"The terrifying combat power it displayed is simply chilling!"
Immediately afterward, the old man who had spoken earlier chimed in, "The Ancestor is absolutely right! Anyone who dares to attempt to condense the last fragment of the mark is undoubtedly a powerful individual, and we must not underestimate them."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Changsheng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up, saying, "It seems that a bloodbath is about to break out on the ninth floor. We must plan ahead and make full preparations in advance to pave the way for the banished immortal to ascend to the throne smoothly."
After a brief pause, Yuan Changsheng continued, "As for the fragment of the mark that the old man Zixiao, who attained enlightenment through a unique method, possesses... I plan to find a suitable opportunity to personally go and have a good discussion with him."
"After all, we are all human beings, and I believe he would not want to see the schemes and plots of the Celestial Clan and the myriad races of ferocious beasts succeed."
"Of course, if we really can't reach an agreement, I'll have no choice but to take strong measures to suppress them if necessary..."
At this point, a sharp glint flashed in Yuan Changsheng's eyes.
