After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"The Overlord Emperor!"

"Is the Tyrant Emperor really not dead?"

"Wasn't he killed by Emperor Ji?"

……

On the palace wall.

Several military officers and the fourth prince whispered among themselves.

This news deeply shocked them.

after all.

The royal family has always claimed that the Overlord Emperor and the Underworld Emperor were killed by the Great Qian Emperor.

Has the royal family been deceiving the world all along?

The other ministers, though frozen solid, had the same question in their minds.

If no explanation is given, the credibility of our ancestor, Emperor Jitian, and the royal family will surely suffer greatly.

The Martial Emperor could only explain:

"Land immortals are immortal and extremely difficult to kill."

"After defeating the Overlord Emperor and the Underworld Emperor, Emperor Ji suppressed them under the Dragon Vein."

"Use the dragon veins to absorb their magical power and return the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Originally, when their three-thousand-year lifespan was up, the two of them would naturally perish."

"Our ancestors claimed that the two were beheaded only to prevent villains from having any evil intentions."

Oh I got it.

Everyone finally understood the truth.

It's somewhat understandable that the royal family would lie and claim that the two had been killed.

after all.

If people knew that a terrestrial deity was suppressed beneath the dragon vein, those with ulterior motives would probably have severed the dragon vein long ago.

"Our ancestor, the Overlord Emperor, is still alive!"

Of all the people present, the most shocked was Prime Minister Zhou She.

"Zhou Che, you damned ancestor!"

Even though he was frozen into an ice sculpture, he was still cursing Emperor Wu and Emperor Ji in his heart.

Zhou She, as a direct descendant of the Overlord Emperor, originally had the surname Xiang.

Because when overthrowing the previous tyrannical emperor, the Overlord Emperor and the Ji Emperor fought side by side.

Even Ji Tiandi once sided with Ba Tiandi and accepted his leadership.

Therefore, behind the defeat of the Overlord Emperor.

Ji Tiandi not only did not kill his descendants, but instead enfeoffed them as feudal lords and bestowed upon them the surname Zhou.

The direct descendants changed their surname to that of their mortal enemy.

How could Zhou She possibly face his own ancestral immortal master again?

Ji Tiandi was wicked, and Wu Huang was even more wicked.

No wonder they insisted on appointing Zhou She as prime minister a couple of days ago.

This was done when they were fighting against the Overlord Emperor, and he was placed at the very front.

Zhou felt like he wanted to die.

If he hadn't been frozen solid, he would have wanted to smash his head against the palace wall and die.

Ice sculpture?

Yes, I'm an ice sculpture now.

Even if the Overlord Emperor were to arrive, he probably wouldn't recognize him.

Think of this.

Zhou She felt slightly relieved.

……

Blackwood Cliff.

The founding ceremony of the Great Qian Immortal Alliance has officially begun.

Colorful flags fluttered in the square in front of the Wuji Hall.

The number of people was not small, but it was at least a hundred.

The entire venue was silent, as if everyone were asleep.

Apart from the leaders of various sects, everyone present was at least an elder or a senior elder of their respective sects.

Aside from grandmasters, they are celestial beings or semi-immortals.

Since everyone was of a superior status, they naturally did not whisper among themselves or create any chaos or noise.

This ridiculous celebration is something no one wants to attend.

Everyone knows it.

The so-called celebration was just a scheme by the new alliance leader, Ji Yu, to keep everyone trapped at Blackwood Cliff.

The purpose, of course, is to prevent masters from various sects from going to the capital to assist the Mahayana sect in its martial arts practice.

Several elders originally had no intention of coming to show their support.

but.

After news of the Snow Mountain Sect's annihilation spread, they immediately changed their minds.

They could easily wipe out the Snow Mountain Sect and the Heavenly Inquiry Sect; it would probably be no problem at all.

Even the top sect, Wentian Sect, dared not be stubborn, so other sects could only swallow their anger.

The grandson of the Emperor is not to be trifled with.

If you're going to participate, then so be it.

The celebration was extremely boring.

A group of centenarians sat upright, completely silent.

It felt more like a funeral than a celebration.

After the opening ceremony.

Ji Yu exchanged a few pleasantries with little interest.

Next, the various sects were arranged to speak.

After that, it was time for the geisha to perform.

The powerful figures were all meditating with their eyes closed, and no one was watching.

The alliance leader, Ji Yu, showed no interest whatsoever, focusing intently on her needlework.

It'll just take time.

Once the Imperial Martial Arts Examination is over, this place should be closed.

Time passes by little by little.

……

Sudden.

The masters and immortals felt a surge of emotion.

"The rules of heaven and earth have changed!"

"The cultivation limit has been lifted!"

"We can advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal!"

"It really is true! It's actually true!"

"Holy crap, this is a godsend!"

……

The assembled dignitaries, especially the celestial beings and semi-immortals, were all extremely excited.

Three thousand years of suppression, and it just disappeared so suddenly.

After confirming that everything was correct, the square erupted in excitement.

Several half-immortals at the peak of the Celestial Realm, whose lifespans were nearing their end, almost wept with joy.

Those who advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal will gain an additional two thousand years of lifespan.

"The seal on the dragon vein has been broken!"

"The Martial Emperor... must have been defeated by the Mahayana Sect!"

"The seal has just been broken, and spiritual energy is surging forth. Fellow cultivators, hurry up and break through!"

"Yes, hurry up and advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal. We still want to be the strongest."

……

These people are no strangers to the matter of sealing the dragon vein.

He immediately understood the reason behind it.

then.

Everyone closed their eyes to cultivate, frantically absorbing spiritual energy.

Those who had reached the peak of the Celestial Realm then attempted to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm means becoming a terrestrial immortal.

Ji Yu was equally startled.

He put away his needle and thread and then closed his eyes to meditate.

His cultivation level was forcibly increased to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm by the Overlord Emperor.

After mastering the material in the past two days, I've already shown the demeanor of a grandmaster.

……

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth shook violently.

An awe-inspiring force erupted from the ground.

It was as if a primordial behemoth had been born.

Everyone was shocked and immediately stopped cultivating.

"Hehe, hehe, I, the Emperor, have arrived!"

Accompanied by a deep voice, a burly man, as strong as an ox, teleported into the square.

The heavy armor couldn't conceal his body's bulging, iron-like muscles.

Beneath her loose black hair, a pair of double-lidded eyes were particularly eye-catching.

Overlord Emperor!

The grandmasters and celestial beings stared in shock at the sudden intruder.

Previously, I had heard that the Overlord Emperor was suppressed under Blackwood Cliff.

Seeing it with their own eyes now still left everyone stunned and speechless.

This is one of the legendary last three terrestrial immortals.

Moreover, he is the most skilled in battle.

At the same time, it is also the most violent.

Historical records.

After conquering a city, the Overlord Emperor would often slaughter the entire city.

With an arrogant gaze and a disdainful look, the Overlord Emperor flashed into the distance.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Ji Yu.

"Yu Ji, accompany me to restore my strength."

While talking.

The two figures vanished into thin air.

The people in the room looked at each other, wondering where the Overlord Emperor had taken the Alliance Leader.

of course.

Even if they knew, no one would dare to go.

Even if they hadn't yet advanced to the level of terrestrial immortals, they would still have to obediently tuck their tails between their legs and act like immortals in front of the Overlord Emperor.

after all.

The Overlord Emperor is a veteran terrestrial deity.

……

"Bang, bang, bang..."

From the distant southwest, the sound of nine bells tolled.

Auspicious clouds rose in the southeastern sky.

In the West, a deafening roar echoed throughout the world.

……

"Wow, what... what is that?" the fourth prince asked in surprise.

Zhou Yi said, "When the bell tolls nine times, a reclusive sect enters the world."

“Auspicious omens descend from the heavens, and divine miracles are born.”

"A loud noise from the west... Hmm, the Underworld Emperor."
