Legend of Swordsman

He could bring Qishen Temple back into the river of time, exploring other timelines.

In more stable timelines, where stronger beings held sway, he refused to believe that the prophecy of the Senior would truly cause the River of Time to run dry.

If all else failed, he would activate Qishen Temple, investigating the Senior’s causality.

Though the Senior was powerful, there was a deep connection between him and Xuan One.

Sacrificing Xuan One’s blood, he would trace the Senior’s location, and wherever he went, Qishen Temple would follow.

Let’s see who would perish first.

The weight of the prophecy hung over him. The reason Qishen Temple sought influence far and wide was to restore the glory of the Qishen lineage.

Yet, the senior warned them that reopening Qishen Temple would inevitably attract a formidable future presence, causing the entire timeline to wither, allowing that presence to ascend to its peak.

With the entire timeline depleted, the fate of the Qishen lineage would be sealed.

No matter how powerful that future entity was, what use would it be?

The future!

Zhen Ling shook his head. “Too distant!”

Seize the present moment!

Returning to the Sea of Origin Source, within the Heart Sea Pavilion, there was still one person – the Ultimate Emperor of the Original Universe, ‘Shang’.

“Breakthrough?” Zhen Lings tone was gentle, and as he looked at Shang, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

It’s too outrageous, but what can one do!

Back then, Emperor Jue Yun was also extremely rebellious, and what happened later?

No breakthrough, and he ended it himself.

Totally useless.

‘Shang’, the Emperor who steadily moves forward and remains extremely low-key, that’s the true future.

Once you step into the Lord of the Universe, you become the most powerful existence.

Dao Lords defy the heavens, Emperors defy the heavens. Do they really think they can defy the heavens?

At most, they can kill an Emperor with a weak point.

Seeing Zhen Lings return, Shang quickly stood up, a smile on his face, and his response was calm, just nodding.

There was no joy typical of ordinary people who had just made a breakthrough.

Your accumulation is profound. In no time, you will reach the peak. Perfecting the cultivation of the spatial origin source is only a matter of time. Now what you need to focus on is the secrets of the universe. That is the only way out.”

Shangs path was different from Qishen’s, but their characters in cultivation were most alike.

Among those Dao Lords, he couldn’t see much, but as long as nothing unexpected happened, Shang would undoubtedly shine through the ages.

The two sat back down.

Shang broke through and achieved the tier 6 Emperor.

There were still a series of cultivation realms and hidden realms waiting for him. The tempering of the ultimate Emperor was not comparable to that of a Dao Lord.

Finally, Zhen Ling escorted Shang away to the God’s Tomb, one of the Four Great Secret Realms.

The five legacies left by Qishen were now opening, starting with the first.

There were two more to go. The one Zhen Ling valued most, Hu Qing, would undoubtedly claim one, and if Jian Wushuang did not fall, he could secure the last one.

Within the Original Realm, there were a few candidates with hope of claiming one.

His ability to assess people was exceptionally high. Whether it was the Ultimate Emperor ‘Shang or Dao Lord Hu Qing, both shared a distinct similarity – steadiness.

Deep foundations allowed for transformation when encountering significant opportunities.

Jian Wushuang, on the other hand, was the opposite.

His foundations were uneven!

His temperament varied greatly, lacking stability!

He had nearly fallen several times, and this time, those old guys had almost taken him away.

At the level of Dao Lord, there might be some luck involved.

But once reaching the Emperor level, luck was just a means, and the luck of stronger Emperors was more profound.

The Emperor was the beginning of true strength, and the crises at that level were much more desperate than those faced by Dao Lords.

Zhen Ling sighed.

He was a True Spirit, with no mention of a Law Avatar. He had to constantly guard the true core origin source sea in the Qishen Temple.

“These little guys can’t afford any more accidents!” Zhen Lings figure flashed, and in the void of the Qishen Temple, he looked towards the overlapping Four Great Secret Realms.

Lifting his arm from within his robe, he pointed, and a dazzling light shot from his fingertip, rushing into the Four Great Secret Realms.

The giant dragon surging within the confines of the Four Great Secret Realms let out a deafening roar.

This lesson should be enough to keep the other party in check for a while.

But that wasn’t sufficient.

His minions were still hidden within the Four Great Secret Realms.

He directly communicated with the Elder Palace, instructing them to go to the Primitive Realm and find Zhu Yi to command several Guardian Gods to suppress the Heavenly Realm.

Zhu Yi in the Original Realm didn’t mind this. Although coerced into giving up Demon Sound Mountain, maintaining the stability of the Four Great Secret Realms and offering some treasures were reasonable requests.

On the central Yuanyang Lake in the Heavenly Realm, four streams of light descended from the sky, creating myriad splashes as they fell into the lake.

Besides these four streams of light, a barrier of qi rose along the boundaries of Yuanyang Lake at this moment.

The previous formation was established by the strong within the Elder Palace, but the current Qi wall was a gift from Zhu Yi.

A formation that even peak experts couldn’t break, establishing a solid foundation for the Elder Palace.

The many experts who returned to the Elder Palace at this moment were startled by this scene.

They thought they were going to be questioned for their crimes, but unexpectedly, they gained so many benefits.

Others didn’t think much of it, unaware of Jian Wushuangs importance.

However, Wu Zuo’s heart tightened.

The more Zhen Ling didn’t come out to humiliate him, the more uneasy he felt. He always felt that Zhen Ling was waiting for an opportunity to settle scores with him.

“Hmph! It’s all because of those two useless idiots!” Wu Zuo cursed inwardly.

Since they sensed Zhen Ling’s arrival, they had stopped, exchanged a few taunts, and ultimately even sat on the same teleportation formation, returning to their respective bases.

The Northern Region had completely fallen into their hands. Apart from recalling strong individuals from various temples, Bai Yi also dismantled the teleportation formations. If the Elder Palace didn’t offer enough treasures to buy them, they would destroy them.

This infuriated the people of the Elder Palace.

In the end, they had to sign a contract, agreeing to give three-tenths of the profits from the teleportation formations to the White Tiger Hall.

At this moment, the internal unity of the Elder Palace was strong. Besides the pressure from the White Tiger Hall, there was also the opportunity that came after this catastrophe.

“l have the highest seniority here. Today’s meeting will be presided over by me!” a blue ox elder, dressed in a Tai Chi robe, declared with authority.

Thousands of experts in the hall nodded.

Even Wu Zuo had no objections.

His identity was special, and his strength was formidable, but he hadn’t forgotten his humility from the past.

Outside the Qishen Temple, unable to enter and unable to leave, like a stray dog. Now that he had finally found a place to stay, it was time to act appropriately. The arrogance from the past naturally had to be erased.

“Good! Since that’s the case, let’s begin!’

This meeting was to divide the Northern Region.

Of course, as strong individuals, they had their pride and couldn’t make it too obvious.

They called it an ‘election’.

The elders with the ‘A’ designation, above the high platform, began to read the rules set by the Qishen Temple.

Then came the selection.

Apart from the designation, the Elder Palace also needed to have its own positions.

When this was brought up, it was instantly opposed by the A-designated elders. However, unable to resist the general consensus, after some negotiations, they finally settled on the final positions.

The A-designated elders obtained privileges at the higher echelons..
