All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Senior brother, are you sure you want to stay?"

Zhou Hai glanced at Murong Xiao.

"Of course, as the sect leader, what would it look like if I left?"

"And junior brother, with you here, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Murong Xiao said with a solemn expression.

Zhou Hai was speechless. What did he mean by saying he should be fine? He wasn't even that confident!

This senior brother Sanzang is not only talkative, but also has an extremely strong sense of responsibility.

"Alright, here's a holy sword. Take it for self-defense. If things get dangerous, activate it and escape immediately!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Hai took out a sacred sword and handed it to Murong Xiao.

"What, the Holy Sword?"

"Give me something so valuable, junior brother, what will you use it for?"

Murong Xiao was greatly surprised. He knew that his junior brother was a saint, and now it was finally confirmed!

"I'm fine with anything!"

Zhou Hai waved his hand, and just to be on the safe side, he secretly put on the Supreme Armor and the Supreme Necklace. He even placed an Emperor-level Soul-Suppressing Bell deep within his sea of ​​consciousness!

At the same time, he took out an imperial crown and put it on his head. In his left hand he held the God-Slaying Whip, and in his right hand he held the Immortal-Slaying Sword, both genuine imperial weapons.

Now he felt much more confident.

With so many treasures guarding it, even if the Supreme Being himself came, he could probably escape, right?

Anyone below the Supreme level, just kill them outright, it's time to make a name for yourself!

"Oh my god..."

"Junior brother, with so many sacred artifacts, you didn't become a cultivator through artifact crafting, did you?"

Murong Xiao, who was moved just a moment ago, was dumbfounded on the spot. Because he could not detect the aura of these treasures, he assumed they were all sacred artifacts.

Even so, it was enough to shock him!

"Keep a low profile, absolutely keep a low profile!"

Zhou Hai turned around and smiled.

"boom!"

Just then, the towering pillar of light disappeared, and a roar echoed from the entrance to the secret realm.

Zhou Hai's expression changed, and he hurriedly stared at what was in front of him.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sounds came one after another, each one louder than the last.

However, no matter how loudly it made the noise, nothing came out from inside.

"What's going on? Why haven't they come out yet?"

Half an hour later, Zhou Hai frowned, looking somewhat dazed.

"Could these things be sealed away and are trying to break free of the seal?"

Murong Xiao murmured softly.

Zhou Hai had the same feeling, but he did not let his guard down.

Another hour passed, and Murong Xiao was getting impatient.

"That's probably it, these things really can't get out!"

Murong Xiao said in a deep voice.

Zhou Hai remained wary and did not speak.

Before they knew it, it got dark, and the noise inside disappeared.

Murong Xiao paced back and forth, appearing somewhat impatient.

"It seems these things can't break the seal, so we've decided to give up!"

"Junior brother, shall we go in and take a look?"

Suddenly, Murong Xiao spoke.

"Stay calm, stay calm. How can you achieve great things if you lack composure?"

Zhou Hai raised an eyebrow; he wasn't going in.

I don't feel safe outside. What if I go in and it gets locked down?

If we run into a supreme being then, and we can't beat them or escape, wouldn't we have died for nothing?

"Shall we head over first?"

Murong Xiao felt a little uneasy and muttered to himself.

"You go first. I must guard this place for the sake of the world. That way, I can deal with anything that might rush out in time."

Zhou Hai refused without even thinking.

Just kidding, the Supreme Daoist Temple has appeared in the world. What if there's some incredible opportunity? Running away like this would be a huge loss.

"Ah, my junior brother is so righteous, he always steps forward in times of danger!"

Murong Xiao looked at Zhou Hai in amazement, once again impressed by him!

Sunrise and sunset, and before we knew it, another day and night had passed.

Murong Xiao felt like he was being tortured to the point of madness, but the secret realm remained completely silent.

"Junior brother, we're stuck here, unable to leave or stay. Why don't we go in and take a look? At least we'll know why we died!"

Murong Xiao couldn't take it anymore and said to Zhou Hai.

"Nonsense!"

"Senior brother, do you know why your cultivation has been stuck at the Enlightenment Realm?"

"With your current mindset, when will you ever break through?"

Zhou Hai was speechless. He was also suffering, but what could he do? Just to be on the safe side, let whoever wants to go go, he was definitely not going.

Murong Xiao felt a tremor in his heart, awakened by his words, and suddenly realized something.

Yeah, when did my mood become so bad? I can't even wait a day or two?

Only then did I realize that in recent years, other universities have gradually deviated from the teachings of the ancient sages, becoming complacent and bloated, each one stronger than the last.

In contrast, the Great Zhou Academy under his rule, although it has always adhered to the will of the sage, has lagged far behind in development due to insufficient resources.

He has been dedicated to improving the university's strength, but has forgotten to adjust his mindset. If this continues, he fears he will never achieve a breakthrough in his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Murong Xiao suddenly felt his mind clear and his anxious heart calmed down.

In a short while, his realm, which had stagnated for nearly ten years, suddenly loosened.

"Thank you for your guidance, junior brother!"

"A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of cultivation!"

Murong Xiao was overjoyed and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate, breaking through to the next level.

"Holy crap, this works?"

Zhou Hai was dumbfounded. He had only made a righteous excuse not to go in, but how could that allow someone to break through?

In no time, Murong Xiao's Dao principles, divine soul, and physical body merged into one!

A divine thought soared into the sky and spread outwards.

"Boom boom boom..."

The heavens and earth trembled, and rolling thunder swept across the land. Murong Xiao's great calamity of unification had arrived.

"Junior brother, I'm going to undergo my tribulation first!"

Murong Xiao soared into the sky, his righteous aura sweeping in all directions, his sword's cry echoing across the land, making Zhou Hai extremely envious.

Soon, the heavens and earth churned, and thunder destroyed the world.

Murong Xiao fought against the heavens, and the battle was fierce and evenly matched.

At this moment, a spirit boat arrived from the direction of the Zhou royal domain.

At the same time, hundreds of figures also arrived in Dinghai City from the direction of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Is Murong Xiao undergoing a great tribulation?"

As soon as these people arrived, they saw the sky filled with calamity clouds, and their expressions changed drastically.

The Supreme Dojo has only been open for less than two days, and Murong Xiao has already broken through. One can imagine how great the opportunities are contained in the Supreme Dojo!

Those who arrived immediately turned red with rage. Without a second thought, they charged straight towards the Martial Arts Palace.

"Haha, the academy truly has an extraordinary opportunity! Not only has the Supreme Daoist Temple appeared here, but Fellow Daoist Murong Xiao has also broken through because of it. Congratulations!"

A laugh rang out, and an old eunuch stepped out of the spirit boat, chuckling.

Zhou Hai turned his head and saw hundreds of people rushing out of the spirit boat.

Even Emperor Ji Wuji of the Great Zhou Dynasty came.

Moreover, Ji Wuji is not the strongest among these people.

Standing beside him were three old men, all peak experts at the Purple Mansion Realm. Clearly, they were ancient monsters who had been in seclusion for thousands of years.

"Fellow Daoists, you jest! My senior brother's breakthrough has absolutely nothing to do with this secret realm!"

Zhou Hai smiled. He didn't want these people to be too interested in the secret realm, otherwise the academy would never have peace!

"What do you mean it's unrelated? Is it because you're afraid we'll covet the Supreme Inheritance?"

"The supreme inheritance is something even your main academy can't handle. Do you think a mere branch academy like yours can monopolize it?"

Before the Great Zhou royal family could speak, a cold laugh suddenly rang out.

A group of several hundred people flew in from the horizon, and one of them, an old man in a golden robe, spoke coldly.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Hai frowned!

"Qian Santong, an outer sect elder of the Qiong Yao School!"

"Bold Academy! Several elders from our Holy Land have come to the academy, only to have their life tablets shattered one after another. Why don't you immediately apologize?"

Qian Santong snorted coldly, looking down on everyone.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a huge cauldron fell from the sky, and its powerful aura instantly pressed him down from the air.

"presumptuous!"

"Within my Great Zhou territory, you expect the Zhou people to apologize? Who do you think you are?"

A cold voice came from behind Empress Zhou; it was an old man who had made his move.

Qian Santong's expression changed drastically; he was locked in place by the cauldron and unable to move.

Just as he was about to be smashed into a pulp, a large seal suddenly flew from behind and crashed heavily into the cauldron!
