Xiaoxiao.

Seeing Wu Ren's dejected state, Ying Yue comforted him, "Alright, haven't we become enlightened now? It's not too late. The Vermilion Fruit has also appeared in the world, which means that everything is the best arrangement. Let the past be the past. They don't want us to keep carrying such a heavy burden and tormenting ourselves."

“Yue’er is right, let bygones be bygones! Now let’s go get the spiritual treasures of the ten major sects, get the Vermilion Fruit, deal with Penglou, and then head towards the Wild Plains,” Kuang Zheng said.

Ying Yue asked curiously, "After obtaining the Vermilion Fruit, why didn't you go directly to the Wild Plains? Why did you have to go to Guan Penglou, that little shrimp?"

Kuang Zheng said, "Let this be the last thing I do for Penglai Planet! This Penglou has been hiding in the shadows, stirring up trouble. If it is left alive, Penglai will probably not be peaceful in the future. Let this be my obsession. By ending it, I can finally put my mind at ease."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Zheng Ge'er."

Wu Ren, standing to the side, knew in his heart that the truth was not as Kuang Zheng had described. Penglou had never been a concern for him, because it was simply not qualified. The reason he was determined to destroy this force was for the sake of Ying Yue's family.

Without their constraints, the Ten Great Sects would have become history once again.

Once those people leave, Penglou will immediately ascend to godhood.

The thought of what an ambitious and highly secretive force would do at that time is chilling.

When that time comes, the three great empires will inevitably be the first to suffer.

As the rulers of empires, the royal families of various countries will inevitably become the primary targets for elimination. If that time comes, all royal families will be wiped out.

Although Ying Yue always said that she had a weak family bond, she actually tried her best to hide her feelings for her family.

People only pretend they don't care when they can't have something.

But Kuang Zheng and Wu Ren could see it clearly, which is why Kuang Zheng thoroughly eliminated those Jianghu forces that could threaten the imperial power before leaving.

While this cannot guarantee the Qin Empire's eternal existence—after all, no dynasty lasts forever; rise and fall are the inevitable course of history—it is impossible for any dynasty to remain prosperous forever.

But eliminating Penglou would at least prevent Yingyue's family from suffering asymmetrical slaughter.

As for what happens next, let's leave that to those who come after us!

Although Wu Ren knew Kuang Zheng's true thoughts, he did not point them out.

Some things are better left unsaid; saying them out loud can ruin their beauty.

Entering the treasure vaults of the Ten Great Sects is no different from strolling through the streets. Their strongest warriors are either still on Broken Blade Peak, completely gone from history, or their fate is unknown.

Even at their peak, Kuang Zheng and his group could still enter without anyone noticing.

Looking at the nearly thirty magical treasures in their hands, the three of them smiled.

As expected, robbery is easier. No wonder ambitious people are so keen on war. They've collected more spiritual treasures in just one short day than they have in all these years.

With these reserves as a foundation, plus the Medicine Buddha statue, the group no longer needs to worry about the depletion of spiritual energy.

Of course, this is only in the short term.

After doing all that, the group began sightseeing, temporarily putting everything else out of their minds.

This relaxation unexpectedly boosted everyone's mental strength significantly, a huge and pleasant surprise.

The cultivation of spiritual power has always been the most advanced and mysterious aspect of the cultivation world.

How can one not be overjoyed to see such a dramatic improvement?

With such a huge unexpected gain, the group completely relaxed.

They suddenly discovered that the planet Penglai was incredibly beautiful, with such magnificent landscapes.

They crossed mountains and seas, and passed through crowds of people.

The perilous peaks are wondrous and awe-inspiring.

At the summit, amidst breathtaking scenery, they once looked up to the sky and roared.

Watching the sunrise over a sea of ​​clouds, standing before an endless abyss.

Enjoy the boundless sea of ​​flowers and savor the finest tea.

At that moment, they forgot their identities, forgot themselves, forgot everything, forgot heaven and earth.

The mind wanders ever wider, and the sea of ​​consciousness expands and expands in this wondrous state of forgetting oneself and the world.

From trickling streams to mighty rivers. From boundless oceans to the vast universe and its stars.

At this moment, they completely transformed, forged their Dao heart, stabilized their minds, and nurtured a boundless sea of ​​consciousness.

Although these changes may not show immediate effects, they represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that countless giants in ancient times could only dream of.

They just don't know it yet!

This can be seen as another form of reward from the Great Dao. Years of torment, years of constant anxiety, years teetering on the brink of collapse, years of endless fear—all have finally been rewarded at this moment.

Now that the foundation is solid, all that remains is continuous practice and breaking through the barriers.

At this moment, Kuang Zheng and his two companions were completely unaware of these changes; they simply felt that once they relaxed, the whole world seemed beautiful.

This is freedom. Freedom is so wonderful; it's worth giving everything for.

Although it was only a short seven days, they left their mark on all the magnificent scenery of Penglai Planet, which is the benefit of strength.

As expected, Penglou did not disband. In fact, contrary to expectations, it made a high-profile appearance.

The temporary stronghold in the ring mountain was abandoned, and the core members gathered at Yueyang Tower.

Strangely, after the core members gathered here, they began to organize their troops and prepare for war in a grand manner, as if they intended to fight Kuang and the other two to the death.

According to legend, Yueyang Tower was built by the Yellow Emperor to suppress the water demon of Dongting Lake. After being repaired and expanded by officials of all dynasties, it is more appropriate to call Yueyang Tower or Yueyang City today.

The pavilions and towers built around Yueyang Tower number in the thousands, covering an area of ​​over one million acres.

The majestic Yueyang Tower stands tall on the shore of the vast Dongting Lake, appearing exceptionally imposing.

Beneath your feet are the ever-flowing, raging waves; upon reaching the rooftop, all you see is an endless expanse of water.

It immediately makes one feel the insignificance of humankind, because even standing on a rooftop a thousand meters high, one still cannot see the edge of Dongting Lake.

Today, Yueyang Tower is somber and desolate.

The 100,000 core members have set up the "Yellow River Formation," and its immense power has even lowered the water level of Dongting Lake by two meters.

Another thousand peerless masters at the peak of the Grandmaster realm stood on either side of the three people, who were completely hidden by black robes.

Those must be the three masters of the legendary Penglou on the third floor, but they are so well hidden that you can't even tell their appearance or figure.

As expected of a force that has been hidden for hundreds of years, these experts are enough to wipe out the ten major sects.

But in the eyes of Kuang Zheng and his two companions, they were nothing to worry about, just chickens and dogs!

Ying Yue looked at the three people who were completely covered by black robes and mocked, "What? You've already set up the Yellow River Formation, are you still afraid to show yourselves? Have you three been hiding for too long and are too ashamed to show yourselves? Or are you too ugly to scare everyone?"

Upon hearing this, the three men shattered their black robes, finally revealing their true identities.

However, everyone gasped in shock when they saw it.

What exactly did it look like that would shock everyone present?

Let's hear what happens next!
