I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

The Thousand Martial Lord wore a look of utter disbelief.

"The opening of Divine Bridge is imminent. If it truly is a Lord, you should all be very cautious. None of you can withstand the wrath of a Lord."

The Master of Taimiao Sect turned and left.

"Blood Demon is undoubtedly dead. As for the Lord, it's better to proceed cautiously."

Zi Wang hesitated for a moment before saying this, then he also turned and left.

If it truly is a Lord who can ignore some rules and linger in the Inner Domain and Ling Domain, the Lord's power, and even identity, would not be simple.

"Let's leave it at that."

The Lord of Yu Ling Mansion also turned and left.

The Thousand Martial Lord's expression alternated between dark and light. He seemed unwilling as he carried Zi Yun Emperor and retreated.

Halfway down, he casually discarded Zi Yun Emperor and returned to the Thousand Martial Hall with a dark expression.

However, halfway through, he abruptly turned back. Under Zi Yun Emperor's horrified gaze, he struck and completely annihilated Zi Yun Emperor. Not a bone remained!

After killing Zi Yun Emperor, the Thousand Martial Lord returned to his Sect.

A group of elders surrounded him.

"Nothing to do with Blood Demon, but…"

The Thousand Martial Lord mentioned the conjecture about the Lord, which shocked the elders.

"Lord, if he really is a Lord, what is he doing in the Inner Domain? And, Xu Yan is from the Inner Domain, does he have any connections there, we..."

An elder spoke up, his voice dripping with malice.

"Hmm, indeed."

The Thousand Martial Lord nodded, "This matter cannot be revealed. You two will secretly open the Gate of Lingyu and enter the Inner Domain."

He assigned two elders.

"Yes, Lord!"

The two elders nodded.

"What to do with Tang Jinyan?"

The elder holding the sword asked in a deep voice.

"Kill her."

One of the elders spoke.

"Keep her, she might still be useful."

The Thousand Martial Lord hesitated for a moment before saying this.

He then instructed the two elders who were dispatched to the Inner Domain, saying: "Remember, you are not going there to kill. You are going to find their weakness. Once you find their weakness, it will definitely be useful one day.

"As long as we have Xu Yan's weakness, he better be monstrous, the stronger the better!"

The two elders grinned and said, "Lord's words are the absolute truth!"

The Thousand Martial Lord then summoned Tang Jinyan and her attendant. As soon as they entered the hall, the Thousand Martial Lord gestured, and Tang Jinyan's maid was immediately blown apart without leaving a trace!

Tang Jinyan's face went instantly as pale as a sheet of paper. With terror in her eyes, she knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Rest assured, I won't kill you."

The Thousand Martial Lord calmly said, "You cannot reveal a single word of this to anyone. If you do, you and the Shui Xing Palace will be reduced to ashes!"

"Yes, yes!"

Tang Jinyan nodded frantically.

"Alright, Shui Xing Palace will take refuge in the Thousand Martial Temple. Go back and await orders."

The Thousand Martial Lord waved his hand.

"Yes, thank you Master!""

Tang Jinyan was elated.

With Thousand Martial Hall as its backer, who would dare to offend Shui Xing Palace?

As for the matter of Su Lingxiu of Chang Qing Pavilion, she did not dare to ask, from the attitude of the Thousand Martial Lord, it clearly involved the secrets of the Spirit Sects.

At the imperial capital of Great Zhou, after Zi Wang reported the matter of this trip to Emperor Da Zhou, he had just returned to the palace and learned that Xiang Mingmao had almost been killed, and his bodyguard had died on the spot.

Xiang Mingmao had fled back in a sorry state.

"Father, they are provoking our Great Zhou royal family, they are provoking our Zi Wang lineage. We should take action and eradicate them using our Great Zhou power!"

Xiang Mingmao's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke in a resentful tone.

"Who was it?"

Zi Wang asked in a deep voice.

"Chang Qing Pavilion!"

Xiang Mingmao said through gritted teeth.

"Good, good, taking on Chang Qing Pavilion, they really think that I ... wait, did you say Chang Qing Pavilion?"

The Purple King was about to fly into a rage when he suddenly became startled and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Father!"

Xiang Mingmao nodded.

The Purple King fell silent. Behind the scenes at the Chang Qing Pavilion, it seemed like a Lord existed.

This was no longer a decision he could make.

"Only the Emperor can determine matters about the Chang Qing Pavilion. It's not for me, a descendant of the Purple King lineage to arbitrate. You must not act impulsively, or you'll likely bring trouble upon our lineage."

After all, this issue involved the supposed existence of a Lord. It was beyond his decision-making authority.

So, with a solemn expression, the Purple King gazed at Xiang Mingmao and spoke.

"Father, could it be that..."

Xiang Mingmao was startled. Did the waters of the Chang Qing Pavilion run this deep? Might he have inadvertently caused trouble?

"Enough, I will report the matter to the Emperor. We must wait for His decisions on how to handle this, even…"

The Purple King stared at his son and spoke in a grave tone, "Even whether an apology is necessary is yet to be determined!"

Xiang Mingmao's face drastically changed.

After warning Xiang Mingmao not to leave the Purple King Mansion, the Purple King headed to the imperial palace to inform the Emperor of the situation.

The retaliation of the Great Zhou royal family did not arrive.

It seemed that the Great Zhou royal family was completely unaware of the fall of a formidable individual at the hands of the Chang Qing Pavilion.

Even the Purple King Mansion remained quiet.

This created an air of unease among the various power factions and martial artists of Great Zhou. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The background of the Chang Qing Pavilion wasn't simple. Even the Great Zhou royal family wouldn't seek reprisal over a minor clash.

"I told you, the art of the Elixir Doctor is so miraculous. Who wouldn't be tempted? Who wouldn't be jealous of the Ling Sect? This Chang Qing Pavilion is extraordinary."

"You're right, let alone other transcendent ling sects, the infamous Thousand Martial Hall would surely try to seize the opportunity. It only makes sense that they've already made their move. And yet, the Chang Qing Pavilion remains peaceful, clearly demonstrating their tremendous confidence."

"Chang Qing Pavilion houses a divine artifact. Which among the great transcendent sects possesses such an incredible divine artifact?

The great Zhou martial artists discussed among themselves. Some powers and martial artists who had been observing started moving toward Chang Qing Pavilion for medical consultation or to purchase elixirs.

The Chang Qing Pavilion was bustling once again.

A few days later, during a reunion, Li Xuan took the opportunity to guide Xu Yan, further improving and detailing the martial arts technique of the Void-breaking realm.

He mentioned dao laws, which were related to the next stage of cultivation.

To this end, he personally made a divine paper, carved several dao laws onto it, and gave it to Xu Yan for comprehension, laying the foundation for his understanding of dao laws.

After all, the dao laws were profound and mysterious; even carving a few patterns was no small feat. Ordinary items simply could not bear it.

So Li Xuan personally created the divine paper to hold the carved dao law patterns.

"I'm only half a step away from the complete Divine Origin Realm. I should start preparing to accumulate a foundation to break through the Divine Skill Realm. Brother Xie has gone to the Yuntian Azure Sea City. I plan to deliver the cultivation technique to him."

Xu Yan stated his next goal.

"Rumor has it that the Azure Sea holds divine items. If I can acquire one, accumulating a foundation will be much simpler. I'll return before the Pride's Showdown."

Li Xuan knew that Xu Yan wouldn't stay for long upon his return. After years of exploration in the Ling Domain and rapid advancement in martial arts, Xu Yan wouldn't settle for intensive practices in one place, would he?

The Ling Domain was composed of eighteen states. While Xu Yan hadn't set foot in several of them, he decided to visit the Azure Sea. His purposes were twofold: one, to find Xie Lingfeng and transmit him the martial arts technique after Divine Intent State, and two, to seek the divine item of the Azure Sea to nourish his foundations and prepare for breaking through to the Divine Skill Realm.

"Cai Ling'er is from the Azure Sea. You can ask her about it."

Li Xuan nodded and said.

Cai Ling'er was useful at occasions like this.

She belonged to the Sea Spirit Tribe, and given her abilities, she held a high status within the tribe.

"Master, I understand."

Xu Yan was eager to leave for the Azure Sea. He immediately sought out Cai Ling'er to learn about the Azure Sea.

"The Azure Sea is vast, with numerous islands. Currently, it is co-ruled by our Sea Spirit Tribe and Yuntian City. The Azure Sea is full of spiritual items, and rumors suggest the existence of a divine entity."

"The most famous divine item is the Azure Sea Divine Pearl. It is said that it is the City Lord of Yuntian's hair binding accessory. This Divine Pearl is said to have mysterious properties and can nourish and augment the divine soul, thereby enhancing martial comprehension."

"Of course, as I haven't yet obtained it, I'm not certain whether all this is true."

Cai Ling'er shared all her knowledge, providing a detailed introduction to the Azure Sea.

"Azure Sea Abyss is notorious. Rumor has it that divine items originate from there. I watched from afar and it looked perilous. I did not dare to approach it out of sheer risk."

"I can't be certain about the existence of divine items in other places, but there's a 90% chance that divine items exist in the abyss."

"However, I advise you to stay away. It's a genuinely deadly place. We, the Sea Spirit Tribe, can roam freely in the sea, but even we dare not venture into the abyss..."

Xu Yan nodded. He remembered the Azure Sea Abyss. There was a high possibility that divine items existed there.

As for the danger mentioned by Cai Ling'er, Xu Yan naturally wouldn't enter recklessly. However, he was not like other martial artists of Lingyu; he had more tricks up his sleeve.

If his real body didn't enter, his divine body could. Even if danger arose, it would only deplete some of his divine elements. It was a minor issue.
