Chapter 1207

The people in the arena had only one thought in mind: winning or losing.

However, the audience outside the arena had much more mixed feelings. The battle between Mu Leizheng and Ao Donglai involved various complex forces. The Human Race Cult behind Mu Leizheng had reconciled with Feng Jun and formed a cooperative relationship after the death of Dongfang Daqian.

The Human Race Sect also contributed to the effort to eliminate the Golden Immortal Path, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly harmonious.

This time, Mu Leizheng threatened Tianzhu under the pretext of avenging his former master, but in reality, it was a test by the Human Race Sect against several states in the southeast.

Since the Zhou clan's western branch split into two parts and moved north and south, the northern branch will not be mentioned for the time being. The one that moved south was led by the eldest son Zhou Ding and his mistress Zhu Qinghua, and they went to join Zhou Nanwang in Lihuo Prefecture.

As time passed, the Western Zhou clan quickly filled the power vacuum left by the death of the Great Gentleman, and its influence spread throughout several southeastern states.

However, things were destined to be anything but smooth sailing, and the Zhou family split up.

Zhou Ti, the illegitimate son born to Xiao Qi, turned out to be rebellious, taking pride in his maternal bloodline and colluding with a group of subordinates to split off the 'Qi Family'.

This move was clearly fueled by multiple forces behind the scenes, imitating the story of Zhou Nanwang splitting the Zhou family into two branches, East and West.

Zhou Ding was unable to stop them and was seriously injured by the mysterious master. Without a leader, the Qi family was able to rise from the ashes.

From then on, the situation in the southeastern states evolved into a struggle between the Zhou and Qi families.

In essence, it was a power struggle between Zhou Daqian's two sons, one legitimate and one illegitimate.

The outside world believed that Zhou Ti had become a puppet for others to threaten the Zhou family's existence, but in reality...

The Golden Immortal Dao Master, the most powerful seal script master since Chongyang Gong, used his strength and skill to unite the remaining Golden Immortal Dao lineage and secretly recuperate, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds without anyone noticing.

By now, the enemies who were besieging the Golden Immortal Path have realized something is wrong; the Golden Immortal Path seems to have vanished from the world.

What disappeared along with it were all the texts, inscriptions, and other documents related to the Nine Tripods.

The once-secret seal script artifacts also lacked maintenance and replenishment, and either became obsolete or obsolete, turning into meaningless antiques.

This is a very dangerous sign.

After all, the purpose of the Sacrifice Heaven Palace and the major families was to eliminate the Golden Immortal Path organization and to continue to utilize the Golden Immortal Path's script techniques. Unexpectedly, things developed beyond their expectations.

If this continues, won't we be heading back to the primitive world?

All of this was orchestrated by the Golden Immortal Dao Master, and all members of the Golden Immortal Dao were filled with awe and respect.

“Mu Leizheng’s thoughts are pure; she only wants to retrieve the relics of her former owner, Dongfang Daqian.”

"Back then, Dongfang Daqian died at the hands of Zhou Daqian. One of his belongings fell into Zhou Daqian's hands. Zhou Daqian then perished in the southern border and became Tianzhu. Most of his things were acquired by Ao Donglai."

The Golden Immortal Daoist Master analyzed, "However, the Human Race Cult behind her is targeting several states in the southeast."

"And the ancestors behind the Zhou and Qi families, Zhou Nanwang, the governor of Lihuo Prefecture."

Zhou Nanwang's prestige and seniority speak for themselves; he was Zhou Daqian's adoptive father and the founding ancestor of the Western Zhou clan.

Without his protection, the Zhou Clan's Western Branch could not have taken root and developed to its current size. Moreover, after the Qi family was revived, it was because they were wary of his existence that they did not completely exterminate the Zhou Clan's Western Branch.

Whether it was Zhou Ding or Zhou Ti, they would all address Zhou Nanwang as "Grandpa" and kneel down to speak to him.

The cooperation between the Human Race Religion and the feudal lords inevitably leads to the expansion of their sphere of influence and the large-scale occupation of territory. Several southeastern states, as well as Lihuo State and the southern border, are lands that urgently need to be cultivated.

Mu Leizheng is a catalyst; if she opens up the situation in the Southern Frontier, the Human Race Cult will launch a large-scale invasion. It is said that the leader of the Human Race Cult, Lingyun Palace, has already reached a high position on the ladder to heaven and is about to seize the Nine Cauldrons.

In order to ascend to the Martial Saint realm, he urgently needs a large amount of resources and opportunities, and the purpose of this battle is the southern territory.

"After the upheaval in the North, troubles are brewing again in the South, and many things are happening in the world!"

The Golden Immortal Dao Master, also known as Zhou Ti, sighed, "Since Zhou Daqian's death, all sorts of shady characters have emerged. In a sense, Daqian was truly a pillar that stabilized the world."

Unfortunately, this divine pillar fell in the southern border region, and from then on, the world entered a period of great turmoil.

Zhou Ti subconsciously looked towards the north, thinking that if his father were still alive, he would be extremely anxious upon learning what had happened in the north, and given his personality, he would definitely take action on the spot and storm into the six states of the north.

Furthermore, how are the brothers of the Northern lineage faring under the tyranny of the Witch Clan?

Our gaze returns to the area beneath the Heavenly Pillar where the battle raged...

Mu Leizheng merged with the sacred artifact 'Dawn', and thunderclouds followed her every move. She unleashed her fist technique, and the heavens and earth trembled. In an instant, a vast expanse of thunder filled the sky and crashed down upon this land.

Tianzhu was inevitably affected.

The familiar shaking came, but Zhou You, in his Nine Cauldrons state, felt no impact whatsoever. He thought to himself that he was an old hand, and apart from someone supporting the Nine Cauldrons, nothing could 'shake' him.

It seems that a lot has happened over the years.

If he could, Zhou You really wanted to go out and see how much time had passed and whether his old friends were still around.
The moment the thought arose, the Heavenly Pillar shook violently twice, and in an instant, the earth trembled and the entire Southern Frontier blurred, as if it had been painted over by an irresistible force and almost disappeared completely.

Ao Donglai was shocked. In all his years of guarding Tianzhu, he had never seen such a sight.

He turned his head sharply to look at Mu Leizheng, and then the tremor disappeared. Okay, it's confirmed, it wasn't the other party who caused the tremor.

Such a terrifying tremor, affecting the entire southern border, shook the Heavenly Pillar to the point of collapse; it was definitely not the work of an ordinary half-saint.

Could it be an unexpected natural disaster?
After the initial shock, further changes will occur.

Zhou You's vision flashed, and with tears welling up in his eyes, he cursed, "You damn control panel, why did it take you so long to appear?"

Since he transformed into the Nine Cauldrons, the panel has disappeared. He had thought that this thing was bound to his physical body and would automatically unload as his body dissipated, but now it seems that's not the case.

"Trial Project (One-Star): The Art of the Cauldron - Heaven and Man Transformation, Returning to One's True Self, and Re-emerging into the Human World."

Haha, one star, isn't this just an introductory task? Looking at the content, the difficulty doesn't match the star rating.

Perhaps there's something wrong with the panel, causing the evaluation system to malfunction.

But after confirming repeatedly, the panel indicated that it was correct, so I didn't change it and followed the instructions.

Based on the mission description, he was required to return to his original form from the state of the nine small cauldrons. This technique is known as one of the cauldron arts... Celestial Rebirth.

Upon seeing the words "Heaven and Man," one could tell that this extraordinary technique was remarkable, allowing him to further explore the mysteries of the Nine Cauldrons and the Heaven and Man. Zhou You silently pondered, preparing his extraordinary technique, while also observing the fierce battle between Mu Leizheng and Ao Donglai.

After the shockwave, the two resumed their battle.

Ao Donglai wielded a Great Thousand Blade, without any fancy sound or light effects, but Mu Leizheng's fist-fighting lightning was pulled away by an invisible force and disappeared without a trace once it got close, as if it led to a bottomless abyss.

The Ascension to the Great Thousand Worlds sword technique is similar in principle to the Taiyin Returning Blade of Broken Eyebrow Mountain. The ultimate goal is to completely erase the enemy from both the physical and spiritual levels, leaving no trace of their existence in the world.
