A heavily tanned man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat took a step and moved over.

It was Pu Zhen, the eleventh successor of Fangchun Mountain!

He was a terrifying existence who looked like a farmer and had a dull and simple temperament. He had once appeared on Whirlwind Ship and killed an Emperor-level old monk from Earth Treasury Realm with three punches.

Sword Emperor Brave Gale of the Primeval Imperial Jintian Clan could only bow his head in front of him.

However, when he came to the top of the mountain beside the long river of lightning and faced the woman who was sitting in front of the taoist temple with her head down while sewing clothes, he seemed extremely restrained.

"Junior Brother, why are you here?"

The woman stood up. Her countenance was gentle and soft, and her voice was as light as a spring breeze.

Pu Zhen answered honestly, "Third Senior Sister, Junior Sister Jun Huan asked me to bring you a message."

"Jun Huan?" The woman smiled, "I guess she must have been acting out again and forced you to come, right?"

Pu Zhen was embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, "Actually, I haven't seen Senior Sister for a long time, so I wanted to come and greet you."

The woman couldn't help laughing. This eleventh junior brother of hers was still as dull and honest as before.

She asked, "What did Jun Huan ask you to tell me?"

Pu Zhen quickly transmitted the message and explained something.

The woman was silent for a moment before she finally said, "As expected, are you really going to walk around the world again under another identity?"

She looked up at the fractured part of the sky, and a trace of determination appeared in her eyes that were usually as gentle as tranquil spring water. "Forget it, since this is the joint decision of Jun Huan and Junior Brother Xuanwei, I will also go out for a bit."

Pu Zhen bowed and said, "Only if you come forward will there be no accidents."

"Wait a moment."

A needle shuttled quickly between the woman's slender white fingers as it created traces of the great dao that seemed to be real.

Under the embroidery needle, the strands of lightning threads appeared like cloud patterns on the beast skin that had dense innate dao runes on it.

Pu Zhen was amazed.

It hasn’t been that long since I last saw Third Senior Sister, yet her cultivation...has become more and more unfathomable.

If he was not mistaken, then the beast pelt being sewn had come from the Devil Lynx Beast Emperor that was found in this uncharted land. This was a very fierce, natural deific creature that had the terrifying strength to eat those at the Emperor Stage.

Furthermore, the strands of lightning threads she was using had come from an orderly power deep in the heavens. It was called Xuanyan Dao Thunder, and it was one of the known Heavenly Punishment Lightnings.

Just a single strand could crush the physical body of an Emperor!

Yet, in the hands of his Third Senior Sister, both the Devil Lynx Beast Emperor and the Xuanyan Dao Thunder had become materials for sewing clothes...

Pu Zhen sighed at this. Compared to his Third Senior Sister, his methods...were simply not worth looking at.

Whoosh!

Not long after, the woman raised her hand in a throwing motion, and a dao robe that had just been sewn soared into the air. It suddenly became larger, covering the sky and the sun!

The fractured part of the sky was actually "repaired" by this dao robe!

The long river of lightning that had been rushing down from the fracture also stopped abruptly without a single drop leaking out.

This scene was just like the mythological story of someone "repairing the sky"![1]

The woman smiled gently as if she had done something completely ordinary, "Junior Brother, do you want to go with me?"

Pu Zhen shook her head, "Junior Sister Jun Huan is still waiting for my reply."

The woman was speechless for a moment. Finally she tsked, "This girl is actually treating you as an errand boy. I will have to scold her a few times the next time I see her."

Pu Zhen smiled bitterly, "Senior Sister, please don't do that. If she gets disciplined by you, then she will definitely take it out on me. Only I will suffer in the end."

"You, ah, you just spoil this girl too much."

The woman couldn't help but smile and shook her head, "Forget it. I'll be going first then."

Her hair was wound up plainly with a wooden hairpin, and her appearance was extraordinarily simple. She was wearing a plain dress that was embroidered with cloud patterns, making her look both graceful and elegant.

As she took a step, the mountains and rivers reversed, the world changed, and everything faded in contrast to her.

In an instant, she disappeared.

The mountains and rivers were still the same mountains and rivers, but it felt less colorful because her presence was no longer there.

Her name was Ruo Su, and she was ranked third in Fangchun Mountain!

…

It was time for all of the participants to head over to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

That morning, Lin Xun and the other experts within the a hundred and eight were summoned to the huge platform at Mythical Huang Main Peak.

Everyone was full of expectations while also feeling a bit uneasy.

The Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone was one of the eight famous forbidden areas in the Primordial Chaos World, and it was located deep in an uncharted and dangerous place. It has been famous since ancient times.

It was rumored that almost all the Emperors who had gone there had never come back!

As for the cultivators below the Emperor Stage, they simply didn’t have the ability to get close to that dangerous place.

Now, a hundred and eight supreme Saint-Kings were going to go there to explore an opportunity related to a chaos treasure. Who would not be nervous under such a circumstance?

However, they all know that not long ago, there was a shocking change in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. Everyone suspected that an ancient treasure had been born, which had caused the law power in the forbidden zone to change.

Because of this shocking change, the Great Six Courts saw a glimmer of hope. After many deductions, they finally came to an astonishing conclusion.

If you want to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone to seize the treasure, you must work together and use your strongest means to break a path in the barrier that covers it.

However, such a path would be extremely unstable. Once an Emperor set foot on it, it would collapse instantly.

In other words, even if a path could be forced, it couldn’t withstand the power of the Emperor Stage!

Therefore, the Great Six Courts came to an unanimous decision to hold a Dao Debate Assembly in order to select a group of supreme Saint-King candidates to enter the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

By doing this, they could avoid the inevitable competition and fighting between sects that would trigger larger wars. If that scenario happened, then no sect would be able to withstand the resulting loss.

Lin Xun and the other hundred and seven candidates were the ones who won the qualifications to go to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

And today was the day they were going to set off!

While waiting, someone suddenly chuckled and said, "Jin Duyi, I heard that you had cultivated in front of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele, but gained nothing?"

The voice came from where the people from the Primordial Dao Court were situated. It was Kong Zhao who had spoken with a hint of sarcasm.

Many people nearby revealed strange looks.

They had also heard that Jin Duyi, who had come first after the competition in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, had a chance to comprehend the dao in front of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele. Originally, many of them were extremely envious and jealous of him.

Who would have thought that it turned out he had no fate with the Mythical Huang Dao Stele, so that he had no gain?

This made many people gloat.

Huangfu Shaonong, who ranked second, had obtained the Mythical Huang Nine Aperture Pill.

Jing Tiannan, who ranked third, was extremely lucky as he was allowed to pick up a mysterious and powerful treasure from the Treasure House. Rumors claimed that he had selected a magic sword named Lingya, which had been used by a supreme Sword Emperor in the primeval times.

This also aroused the envy and jealousy of countless people.

Only Jin Duyi, who was ranked first, had gotten nothing in the end, which made many people feel much better and happy.

Lin Xun glanced at Kong Zhao and said, "Although I got nothing, I saw and appreciated the wonders of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele. What about you? It seems that you don't even have the qualifications to get a single reward?"

Kong Zhao's expression faltered, and he snorted coldly without saying a word.

The other experts who had originally been gloating also felt their faces grow hot. It sounded like Lin Xun was mocking them too.

Naturally, Lin Xun would not tell them that meditating in front of the Mythical Huang Dao Stele had allowed him to perfect his Great Dao Field in one fell swoop!

Such an improvement was enough to satisfy him.

Suddenly, Taishu Hong's voice sounded on the top of the mountain, "In a moment, I and some other dao friends will head over to the Mount of Clouds. Then, we will work together to open a path to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. The hundred and eight of you can then enter and explore the whereabouts of the chaos treasure."

Lin Xun and others looked up and saw that Taishu Hong, Xia Xinglie and some other Emperors had appeared on the top of the mountain at some point, looking like supreme masters.

The Mount of Clouds was located in the extreme north of the Central Plain State. Beyond the Mount of Clouds was an uncharted land that seemed to have no boundaries.

To go to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone, one had to start from the Mount of Clouds.

Lin Xun and the others already knew this information.

"Remember, this path can only last for three months. After three months, no matter whether you have gained anything or not, you must return in time. Otherwise, you will be trapped in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone for the rest of your life and there will be no hope of returning."

Taishu Hong's warning made Lin Xun and others feel a chill run down their spines.

"Okay, we can set off now."

Taishu Hong had finished speaking. Just as he was about to take action, Emperor Fire Spirit next to him suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to her.

"This trip to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone is of great importance. You all know what a chaos treasure means."

Emperor Fire Spirit’s luminous eyes were deep and cold, "This time, we have gathered the power of many Emperors and have united many forces to have a chance to go to the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. I don't want this opportunity to be contaminated by some people with ulterior motives!"

That declaration was like a thunderbolt, shocking the whole audience.

With ulterior motives?!

Did Emperor Fire Spirit notice something?

"Dao Friend, these hundred and eight Saint-Kings were selected under our very own noses. How could there be someone with ulterior motives?"

Taishu Hong frowned. He didn't expect that before setting off, Emperor Fire Spirit would suddenly drop this bombshell.

"Brother Taishu, there are many powers in this world that can avoid our investigation. I am saying this just in case. After all, we have finally won this opportunity. It will not be excessive to be cautious at this point.”

Emperor Fire Spirit looked indifferent. When she spoke, she turned her palm and an antique bronze mirror appeared.

She continued, "This is the treasure of my Heaven and Earth Dao Court, the Taiyi Dao Mirror. No matter how disguised the object or person is, as long as they are being observed under this mirror, nothing can escape."

As soon as these words fell, Xia Xinglie's pupils suddenly constricted.

This old bitch has actually taken out such a treasure at this time!

He knew too well the power of the Taiyi Dao Mirror. It could not only see through disguises, but also break all kinds of illusions.

At the same time, Lin Xun was also shocked and keenly realized that Emperor Fire Spirit’s move was most likely aimed at him.
