After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

In the distance, Wang Teng's face was gloomy, but he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

This bitterness is mixed with a sense of madness.

He was a prodigy from a young age and possessed the Seven Star Spiritual Rhinoceros Bloodline, making him someone that everyone envied.

He was also someone the family had devoted all their efforts to cultivating.

But one day, his father brought home a woman, and also a Wang Chengjie who was even more talented!

Because this half-brother was superior to his brother in every way.

Everything that originally belonged to him had to be handed over.

Daozi is not him, the Wang family's concern is not him, and even his father's kindness is not him!

He lived in Wang Chengjie's shadow simply because Wang Chengjie was stronger than him.

He wanted to struggle, to rebel, to prove to the Wang family that he was the true Daozi.

Ironically, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, or so easily and unexpectedly.

He was bewildered, he couldn't believe it, until finally he burst into laughter.

Wang Teng believed that his era had finally arrived!

However, news of what happened between Fang Yuyan and the strange man came to light at this time.

He had approached Fang Yuyan, but was met with silence.

There was no answer, but it was an answer that almost drove him crazy.

If that were all, he could still grit his teeth and accept it.

But Wang Teng has now discovered that the person with whom Fang Yuyan has been linked to rumors is actually Qin Chuan!!

At that moment, he went completely insane.

He felt that the occasional laughter coming from around him was mocking him.

Therefore, even at the risk of being punished by the Li family, he was determined to kill Qin Chuan with his own hands!

But after Qin Chuan defeated him with overwhelming force...

All of this was destroyed by Qin Chuan; his pride and self-esteem were trampled underfoot.

Wang Teng gave a bitter laugh. His thoughts, his personality, everything about him was twisted and completely changed in that instant.

Almost insane!

"I can give up being a Daoist disciple, and I can sever ties with Fang Yuyan, as long as I can be the first to obtain the Dao Scripture, I can regain everything I've lost!"

Wang Teng's eyes were bloodshot, and his disheveled hair gave him an air of madness.

Braving the fierce wind, he headed straight for the towering tree with a do-or-die spirit.

Gu Qingfeng's eyes burned with fervor as his body floated in mid-air, surrounded by seven or eight members of the Gu family, who protected him as if they were guarding him.

"If I get my hands on this scripture, I'll definitely become famous throughout the Southern Region!"

As Gu Qingfeng spoke, he excitedly looked up at the golden page at the very center of the treetop.

Upon hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, the Gu family members around him could only manage a wry smile.

"Young master, but the mistress only agreed to let you come to the Li family to attend the ceremony, she didn't mean for you to participate!"

"That's right. This time, the patriarch's intention is to make Daozi the son-in-law of the Li family. Only in this way can our Gu family's strength be further enhanced!"

Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng hesitated.

He was not a simple-minded person; this matter concerned the prosperity of the Gu family.

If he really gets involved, he will inadvertently hold Gu Changkong back.

"Fine, fine, I'll just stay here and watch the show."

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Qingfeng sighed helplessly.

It seems he'll have to find another opportunity to make a name for himself in the Southern Region...

The sea was battered by raging winds, the wind howled, and dark shadows darted about on the seabed, giving this place an eerie and sinister feel.

As the wind howled, dozens of people rushed out from all around, braving the gale, heading straight for the towering tree.

"We can't fly too high here, because the higher we go, the stronger the wind becomes..."

Qin Chuan muttered to himself.

Just now, he saw a Brahma Sect cultivator trying to take advantage of the vertically falling vines to fly directly towards the treetop.

But before it had flown very far, it let out a shrill scream, its entire body a bloody mess.

After quickly shouting "Give up!", the entire person was moved out of the area.

Most importantly, within these gales, there are also enormous wind blades.

There was an indescribable pressure that made the towering tree, though only a thousand feet in size, become a protective wall.

Qin Chuan understood that to quickly reach the top of the tree, he had to climb up the branches of this towering tree.

Without further hesitation, Qin Chuan stepped inside. While feeling the oppressive aura of the place, he could also sense an incredibly dense concentration of profound energy.

With each step closer to the tree, the amount of Xuan Qi that can be absorbed from the surrounding area increases dramatically.

This discovery made Qin Chuan's breathing quicken, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

He didn't know if others felt the same way, but to him, this place felt like a blessed land!

"What kind of tree is this?"

Qin Chuan suddenly looked up, his gaze falling on the towering tree that was thousands of feet tall.

He had already realized that this dense profound energy did not come from the surrounding heaven and earth, but rather emanated from the towering trees.

While dozens of cultivators were struggling to move forward in the center of the sea, people from the five sects and four families at a banquet on the other side were watching intently.

They could see everything at sea with perfect clarity, but they couldn't feel the oppressive force they were facing.

"It seems this will be difficult. I didn't expect Senior Li Bo to actually use this treasure map this time..."

"This tree must have been formed from a lingering resentment of the ancient Fusang."

The ancient cultivator Wu Daozi is said to have witnessed the collapse of the divine tree with his own eyes. At the last moment, he had an epiphany and drew it on paper, finally locking that lingering resentment within it.

However, with enough profound energy, it can be briefly revealed, making it an invaluable treasure!

As the Xuanhuang Realm cultivators around him chatted, Fang Xueyi, sitting below, looked thoughtfully at the giant tree formed from the remnant spirit of Fusang.

"The remnants of Fusang can release ancient profound energy, and those with higher bloodlines are more able to absorb the profound energy of this place."

"And those with lower bloodlines are less able to sense the profound energy here, which creates an even greater barrier that makes it impossible to advance!"

A Xuanhuang Realm expert from the Blazing Fire Sect spoke with a smile.

"Haha, not bad, Fellow Daoist Chang is indeed very knowledgeable!"

Li Bo laughed and said calmly, "This tree is indeed the remnant of Fusang, and this painting is also called The Fall of Fusang. It was a gift from a friend from Central Continent when I celebrated my 500th birthday."

I took it out today, partly so that the younger generation could gain some insight from it, and partly so that all of you fellow Daoists could observe it. After all, after today, this painting will no longer belong to me.

He paused, glanced at everyone, and smiled, "Because I will present this painting to the son-in-law of the Li family in this generation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a buzzing sound immediately rose from the crowd.

The Xuanhuang Realm cultivators all around immediately turned their gazes toward the center of the large tree in front, curious about who would be the son-in-law of the Li family this time.

After all, this treasure was something that even these Xuanhuang Realm cultivators couldn't resist.

"Ancestor, how about I make a bet with these fellow Daoists and see which sect's little brat can be the first to get close to this tree?"

Just then, Li Ziming below, his eyes flashing, suddenly smiled and spoke.
