Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 206 The Lord of the Temple
"Lord Zidong, how about we join forces?" The Grand Elder did not press further.

"I wonder how the Grand Elder will join forces?" Zi Dong was taken aback upon hearing this.

"We will seize the entire Tianyun Continent!" The Grand Elder was quite confident.

"Then how do we calculate it?" Zi Dong immediately asked.

“You will become the temple master, and we will manage it together,” the Grand Elder said.

"Say yes." Just as Zi Dong was about to refuse, Donglai Ziqi suddenly said.

"Why? Does that mean I've become his puppet?" Zi Dong asked quickly.

"With me here, he has no choice but to obey!" Donglai Ziqi said proudly.

"If that's the case, why help him rule the entire continent?" Zi Dong didn't understand.

"Of course, it will help us open the gate to the Immortal Realm," said the purple aura from the east.

"Lord Zidong, what's your decision?" The Grand Elder waited patiently for Zidong to communicate with Donglai Ziqi.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Zi Dong was as happy as a chrysanthemum blooming on his face, and he raised his wine glass to clink with the Grand Elder's.

"Very well!" The Grand Elder downed his drink in one gulp: "I will immediately arrange for the City Lord of Zidong to assume the position of Temple Master!"

Zi Dong returned to his room, took a hot shower, and slept soundly until dawn.

"Master, you're going to become the Temple Master?" The Fox King rushed in with a delighted expression, followed closely by the Scorpion King.

"So-so!" Zi Dong waved his hand modestly, knowing he had to maintain a good image in front of his underlings.

"Master, do we still need to unite the elders?" The Scorpion King believed that if Zi Dong became the temple master, he would unify the temple.

"Of course we need to contact them!" Zi Dong immediately glared at the Scorpion King. "And the more the better!"

“Yes!” the Fox King immediately agreed: “Now that Master has become the Palace Master, he will need the support of the elders even more!”

"Master, should we also unite with the beast kings of the various territories?" the Scorpion King quickly reminded him.

"Of course, the more alliances the better!" Zi Dong strongly agreed.

"Alright, let's go and join forces with the Beast King right away!" The Fox King excitedly pulled the Scorpion King away.

After Zi Dong finished washing up, he was about to go downstairs for dinner when the waiter rushed up to report that the Grand Elder was waiting downstairs.

"What's this guy doing here again?" Zi Dong muttered as he finished dressing and walked downstairs.

"He's here to ask you for a favor." Zi Dong had just stepped down a step when the voice of "Eastern Purple Qi" suddenly rang in his mind.

"What did he ask me for?" Zi Dong was stunned for a moment, his feet stopping on the two steps.

"You'll find out soon enough." The auspicious purple aura from the east kept everyone in suspense.

"Tch, fine, don't tell me then!" Zi Dong raised his middle finger and strode down the stairs.

"Lord of the Palace, come and have breakfast!" The First Elder immediately stood up to greet him.

"So lavish?" Zi Dong glanced at the table full of food and wine and sat down directly opposite the Grand Elder.

"The elders have all agreed to appoint you as the Temple Master, and I have come here to celebrate!" The First Elder raised his wine glass with a broad smile.

"I don't drink in the morning." Zi Dong waved his hand, indicating that the Grand Elder should drink it himself.

"I have ordered the elders to prepare for your inauguration ceremony, which will be held in three days." The Grand Elder awkwardly put down his wine cup.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder." Zi Dong said politely, glanced at the table full of wine and meat, and then got up to leave.

"Palace Master, aren't you going to eat?" The Grand Elder quickly stood up to stop him.

"These are too greasy, I'll go find something lighter." Zi Dong pointed outside.

"Waiter, bring some lighter dishes, quick!" the elder immediately ordered the waiter who was standing respectfully to the side. "Elder, is there something else?" Zi Dong had no choice but to sit down again and ask tentatively.

"Palace Master, there is something I would like to ask for your help with." The Grand Elder quickly poured Zi Dong a cup of tea.

"Please speak, Elder." Zi Dong picked up his teacup and gently swirled it, feigning profundity.

"Please, Lord of the Palace, break the barrier of the Endless Sand Sea!" The Grand Elder rose and bowed with utmost solemnity.

"Sit." Elder Zi Dongchong waved his hand, feigning deep thought, and quickly contacted the Eastern Purple Qi:

"Purple Qi from the East, what does that mean? Is there some kind of barrier in the Endless Sand Sea?"

"Of course the Endless Sand Sea has a barrier, otherwise these beasts would have unified the Heavenly Fortune Continent long ago!" Donglai Ziqi said smugly.

"Did you set up the barrier?" Zi Dong sensed something was wrong from Donglai Ziqi's voice.

【Although it wasn't arranged by me, I was still involved!】Donglai Ziqi was extremely arrogant.

"Then you should help them break the barrier." Zi Dong directly passed the problem to Dong Lai Zi Qi.

[My intervention is too cumbersome; you should handle it.] The Eastern Purple Qi is no longer as formidable.

"Are you really going to help them break the barrier?" Zi Dong was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Just keep an eye on the Eastern Continent; let the other four continents do whatever they want." Donglai Ziqi certainly knew what Zidong was worried about.

With the strength of the Endless Sand Sea, even the five continents combined would not be a match for it!

"How do we break the barrier?" Zi Dong thought about it and realized that as long as he protected the Eastern Continent, even if the other four continents were destroyed, what did it have to do with him?

"By filling the entire endless desert with righteous energy, the barrier can be broken," said the purple aura from the east.

"Damn it, isn't that going to kill me with exhaustion?" Zi Dong cursed under his breath, then looked at the Grand Elder: "Make preparations, we'll start breaking the barrier tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, Palace Master!" The Grand Elder was so excited that he almost knelt down before Zi Dong.

An order was immediately issued throughout the Endless Sand Sea: all the Beast Kings led their elite troops to the western border to assemble!
Ten elders were left behind to lead some of the beast kings to guard the endless desert, while the Grand Elder led the others to the border.

Although Zi Dong became the temple master, he failed to gain control of the temple.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that becoming the temple master would allow me to control the temple?" Zi Dong asked Dong Lai Zi Qi.

"Because the Grand Elder has completely taken control of the temple, unless we kill him," said Donglai Ziqi.

"Easy!" Zi Dong suddenly realized and immediately led the two women back to the top of the sacred mountain.

Killing the Grand Elder is not difficult; once the Immortal Realm is opened, we will kill him immediately!
The sacred mountain is the center of the endless sea of ​​sand. If you want to fill the endless sea of ​​sand with righteous energy, you can only do so on the sacred mountain.

There is a small barrier between the temple and the sacred mountain, which makes it difficult for righteous energy to pass through, and it also prevents the temple from being destroyed.

"I will be cultivating here for quite some time, so you two should also make the most of your time to cultivate."

Zi Dong gave an instruction to the Fox King and the Scorpion King, and then began to condense his righteous energy.

"Palace Master Jixuan, we can no longer descend upon the Endless Sand Sea!"

After several days of probing, Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie had no choice but to rush to Wuji Immortal Palace to discuss the matter with Palace Master Ji Xuan.

"It was all expected." Palace Master Jixuan waved her hand in annoyance; she had been trying all along.

"What should we do? We absolutely cannot let Zi Dong obtain the temple!" Palace Master Bai Jie exclaimed anxiously.

"Continue the attack on Zhongtian Peak and send people to completely control the three continents of the west, south, and north!" After pondering for a long time, Palace Master Jixuan finally made a decision.

The Grand Elder has always wanted to lead the Temple back to the Heavenly Fortune Continent, and Zi Dong is the Temple's best opportunity.

The Palace Master of Jixuan made this arrangement so that she could completely control the entire Tianyun Continent before the Divine Temple reappeared!
