The First Marquis of Daxuan

The sect leader of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, Yuan Huaizhou, and the Wu Huan people all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even though Su Mu had already cultivated the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to the great perfection level, they did not expect that Su Mu could go even further.

That's impossible.

Looking across the entire Pofa Tianzong sect, there are very few people who have truly cultivated the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to the point of perfection.

The problem is that they have been practicing the Zhou Tian Dao Jing since the beginning of their cultivation, and by now, they have been practicing it for at least hundreds or thousands of years.

They finally managed to cultivate the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection, so why should Su Mu rely on that?
They had personally witnessed Su Mu obtain the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing from Huang Chao.

In less than an hour, Su Mu had already completed the cultivation of the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing.

Even though Su Mu was already a Tai Chu Realm expert, his ability to do this was beyond everyone's imagination.

They couldn't believe that someone's talent could be so abnormal!

The Tai Chu Realm expert who had just spoken about killing Su Mu before Su Mu could fully cultivate the Zhou Tian Dao Jing was now speechless.

There's no need to fight at all.

Su Mu's original strength was already no less than theirs, and now he has cultivated the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection.

They could almost predict the outcome without even having to fight.

The result will inevitably be a complete defeat for them.

Even Yuan Huaizhou, the sect leader of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect, fell silent.

According to their original plan, they were going to swallow their anger for the time being.

They will kill Su Mu and clear their names when the great calamity of heaven and earth arrives and they are no longer bound by constraints.

But now, Yuan Huaizhou realizes he was too naive.

There's no need to wait for a cataclysmic event to occur.

Now, their Breaking Law Heaven Sect is already facing a great calamity.

Su Mu has already cultivated the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection; now it's no longer a question of how they will take revenge.

The real question is how they will survive Su Mu's attacks.

If Su Mu really wanted to kill them, it wasn't entirely impossible now.

The key issue is that they are now trapped inside the Lesser Heavenly Realm, and even if they wanted to escape, they have nowhere to go.

When Yuan Huaizhou realized this, the Wuhuan people also realized it.

Although the Wuhuan people were impulsive, they were not fools.

Everyone knows that.

From the moment Su Mu cultivated the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection, their Po Fa Tian Sect faced the danger of annihilation.

If Su Mu were to make a move now, none of them would be able to stop him.

For a moment, everyone was filled with worry.

On the other hand, Huang Chao also stared wide-eyed at Su Mu.

The Zhou Tian Dao Jing was given to Su Mu by him. He just watched as Su Mu finished reading the Zhou Tian Dao Jing, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.

Then the Zhou Tian Dao Jing was completed.

Is this even human?
Huang Chao now wishes he could slap himself.

How could I have been so foolish as to abandon Su Mu and choose the Breaking Law Heaven Sect instead?

Fortunately, I have now realized my mistake and turned back.

But then again, Su Mu's performance is just too incredible.

What kind of talent is needed to master the Daoist Scripture of the Zhou Tian in the blink of an eye?

No wonder Su Mu has such strength.

He glanced subconsciously at the Breaking Law Heaven Sect and the others, rubbing his fists together in anticipation.

Now that Su Mu has cultivated the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection, these guys are doomed.

Huang Chao grinned, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Su Mu's gaze also fell on the group from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

Just as Yuan Huaizhou and the others' expressions changed, Su Mu slowly spoke.

"Sect Leader Yuan, I would like to borrow the second volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing for a reading. Is that alright?"

Su Mu's tone was calm and even somewhat polite.

But now anyone who thinks Su Mu is being polite to them is treating them like fools.

Su Mu was ruthless when he seized their Little Heavenly Realm.

Yuan Huaizhou and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with humiliation and helplessness.

"No."

Yuan Huaizhou said coldly.

Seeing Su Mu frown, he quickly said, "I'm not trying to fool you, I really don't have any."

Our Breaking Law Heaven Sect only possesses this half of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing; we've never even seen the second volume.

The half-step Zhou Tian Dao Jing (a Daoist scripture) forcefully created the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

Su Mu frowned.

Even the Pofa Tianzong sect doesn't have the second volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing, so where can we find it?

"Where did your Breaking Law Heaven Sect obtain this half of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

He didn't actually have much hope.

After all, the Pofa Tianzong sect has been established for countless years, and it's uncertain whether the place where the half-step Zhou Tian Dao Jing was obtained still exists today.

Even if the location still exists, the clues may not last that long.

The possibility of finding the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing is almost nonexistent.

"do not know."

Yuan Huaizhou said, "This half of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing was left by the founder of the Po Fa Tian Zong sect. The founder did not say where he got it from."

However, as far as I know, the founder of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect and the founder of my Pofa Heavenly Sect were from the same school, and he was also the senior brother of my founder.

Perhaps the Ziwei Heavenly Sect possesses the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing (Scripture of the Heavenly Cycle).

Su Mu glanced at Yuan Huaizhou, as if trying to see through Yuan Huaizhou's mind.

Although Yuan Huaizhou felt somewhat guilty, he still looked directly at Su Mu.

Yes, he did want to sow discord and use the Ziwei Heavenly Sect to deal with Su Mu, but he was not lying.

The Ziwei Heavenly Sect and the Pofa Heavenly Sect are related in this way.

The founding masters of the two major sects were indeed fellow disciples.

Not only that, even the founder of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect was related to these two founders.

However, due to the passage of time, no one can figure out what their relationship was.

"Does the Ziwei Heavenly Sect possess the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing? Are you certain?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"I'm just guessing, but if you ask me, I think it's very likely."

Yuan Huaizhou said confidently.

It's all just speculation anyway, and he's not responsible for whether it's accurate or not.

If Su Mu wants to verify the authenticity of this news, he will have to go to the Ziwei Heavenly Sect himself.

Why should only the Breaking Law Heaven Sect suffer this great loss?
"Is it highly likely?"

Su Mu fell into deep thought.

"As far as I know, looking across the world, the only cultivation method above the Tai Chu Realm is the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing. If you want to continue on the path of martial arts, there is no other way but to obtain the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing."

Yuan Huaizhou continued to fan the flames.

He was certain that he was no match for Su Mu now.

Having cultivated to his level, he certainly has some self-awareness, putting aside everything else.

He can judge the strength of his opponent without even lifting a finger.

Moreover, he himself cultivates the Zhou Tian Dao Jing, and he is fully aware of its power.

"is it?"

Su Mu looked at Yuan Huaizhou and said calmly, "You also cultivate the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing, right?"

If you want to continue improving your strength, don't you also need the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing?

If that's the case, then go to the Ziwei Heavenly Sect and ask for the second volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing.

I'll borrow it to take a look once I get it.

Yuan Huaizhou: "..."

Listen to what people are saying.
Let us fight Ziwei Tianzong to the death, and then you can sit back and reap the benefits.

That's a really nice idea.

"If I could go, I would have gone long ago."

Yuan Huaizhou sneered inwardly, "Unfortunately, I can't go."

You are also a Primordial Realm expert, so you should know that we Primordial Realm experts cannot leave the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

You're different from us. You're young, and you can still hold your own once you leave the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

But we are already very old, and once we leave the Lesser Celestial Realm, we will perish in the blink of an eye.

Let alone reaching the Ziwei Heavenly Sect, they couldn't even get more than ten miles away.

So, if you want the Zhou Tian Dao Jing (Scripture of the Heavenly Cycle), you'll have to go get it yourself.

Yuan Huaizhou felt a little smug. Being trapped in the Small Heavenly Realm was originally a big problem, but now it had suddenly become an advantage.

He can't get out, so what can you, Su Mu, do to me?

If you force me to go, you're forcing me to my death. We might as well fight to the death.

Although Yuan Huaizhou admitted that he was no match for Su Mu, it wouldn't be so easy for Su Mu to kill them.

If it really comes down to a fight, even if the Breaking Law Heaven Sect is destroyed in the end, Su Mu will definitely pay a huge price.

Having cultivated to such a level, who would be willing to fight to the death unless absolutely necessary?
The lives of those at the Primordial Realm are extremely precious.

Yuan Huaizhou looked at Su Mu, quietly waiting for the result.

As he expected, Su Mu frowned slightly and slowly said, "Since that's the case, then so be it." It sounded as if Su Mu had no intention of going to the Ziwei Heavenly Sect to ask for the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing himself.

But Yuan Huaizhou was not worried.

No martial artist could resist the allure of the second volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing.

Especially someone like Su Mu, who has cultivated to such a level at such a young age.

Before long, Su Mu will experience the pain of not being able to improve his strength in the slightest no matter how much he cultivates.

At that point, he will have no other option but to seek out the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing.

The only possible place to hide the lower volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing is the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.

The Ziwei Heavenly Sect is not as easy to talk to as their Pofa Heavenly Sect.

If Su Mu goes, it will definitely be a big battle.

Yuan Huaizhou dared not say what the outcome of this great battle would be, but he was certain that both sides would suffer heavy losses.

The final winner will only be a Pyrrhic victory.

At that time, the Breaking Law Heaven Sect might even be able to take advantage of the situation and gain some benefits.

Yuan Huaizhou grew increasingly smug.

He's really good at shifting blame.

Su Mu merely glanced at him indifferently before turning to Huang Chao and speaking.

"Go ahead, and tell Lu Yin to have Changshengtian come here to see me."

Su Mu said casually.

He and Changshengtian are currently on good terms.

He only got involved with the Beast Taming Heaven Sect because of the Eternal Heaven.

Chang Shengtian was not actually a combative person; he only wanted to live a peaceful life until his death. Su Mu was undoubtedly someone who could protect him.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Changshengtian's current stay in the Great Xuan Dynasty is tantamount to joining it.

Su Mu was not opposed to the Eternal Heaven, after all, it was not easy to cultivate a peak expert.

What if we ever need the Eternal Heaven in the future?
Now we need him, don't we?
…………

Yuan Huaizhou and the others watched as Su Mu wandered around the Lesser Heavenly Realm, occasionally practicing his fist techniques, but he showed no intention of going to the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.

They were starting to get anxious.

Could it be that Su Mu is planning to wait until the great calamity of heaven and earth arrives before causing trouble for the Ziwei Heavenly Sect?
Or is it that Su Mu isn't in a hurry for the second volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing at all?
"Sect Master, why do I feel like this bastard is getting stronger?"

The Wuhuan people whispered with some doubt.

"It's his boxing style."

Yuan Huaizhou's expression was grim as he spoke in a deep voice.

He originally thought that once Su Mu had cultivated the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection, Su Mu's strength would enter a bottleneck period.

Just like he was back then.

A thousand years ago, he had already cultivated the first volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection, and he has never slackened in his cultivation over the past thousand years.

But his strength never improved after that day.

To put it simply, the result of his efforts over the past thousand years has only been that his martial arts skills have become more refined, but his cultivation level has not changed at all.

It wasn't just him; most of the experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm were like this.

Because there are no subsequent cultivation methods, they will stagnate as soon as they enter the Primordial Realm.

Forging your own path is never easy.

But Su Mu broke his established ideas.

He watched as Su Mu cultivated the Zhou Tian Dao Jing to perfection, and then Su Mu's strength continued to increase day by day.

Can simply practicing a martial art really improve one's strength?
Yuan Huaizhou had previously thought that once Su Mu's cultivation stagnated, he would definitely be unable to resist going to cause trouble for the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.

But it seems that Su Mu won't have this problem for the foreseeable future!
His incredibly powerful and terrifying boxing style is something many people are practicing.

"Sect Master, do you think that bastard Su Mu can break open the Heavenly Gate?"

Another Tai Chu Realm expert from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect suddenly whispered.

Yuan Huaizhou remained silent; he didn't know.

However, this is a possibility.

He also understood what that Primordial Realm expert meant.

As powerful beings in the Primordial Realm, their lifelong dream is to break into the Heavenly Realm and achieve immortality.

With the great calamity of heaven and earth about to arrive, they once again had the opportunity to attack the Heavenly Gate.

But Yuan Huaizhou wasn't very confident.

If it were Su Mu instead, things might be different.

Yuan Huaizhou is increasingly convinced that Su Mu is very likely to break through the Heavenly Gate.

Because he had never met a person like Su Mu.

Even he had a thought: if they stood with Su Mu, wouldn't they be able to enter the Heavenly Realm together when Su Mu opened the Heavenly Gate?

Who could resist the allure of immortality?

Compared to this, face and the foundation of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect are not worth mentioning.

What's the big deal about that previous conflict compared to something that's immortal and indestructible?

What does it matter if Su Mu beats them up again, as long as Su Mu is happy?
What are your thoughts?

Yuan Huaizhou turned his gaze to the crowd and slowly asked.

The Wuhuan and the others exchanged glances and fell silent.

Everyone had that thought in their hearts, but no one had the courage to be the first to say it.

Some things are easier said than heard.

They were, after all, powerful beings at the Primordial Beginning Realm; it would be extremely shameful for them to bow down to a junior.

“I think we can talk to Su Mu again.”

Yuan Huaizhou said, "There is no irreconcilable grudge between us and Su Mu. Although there were some conflicts before, it was always our Pofa Tianzong that suffered losses."

Wuhuan, your descendants died at his hands, so I must seek your opinion.

If you think we can't talk to Su Mu, then you should say so.

I will respect your opinion.

The Wuhuan remained expressionless, cursing inwardly.

Are you trying to shift the blame onto me?
I did have two juniors die at Su Mu's hands, but so what?

Humans need descendants because human lifespan is limited, so there is a need for inheritance.

But if his Wuhuan people can live forever, what use are their descendants?
It's not that the Wuhuan are cold-blooded and heartless, but the dead cannot be brought back to life, so the Wuhuan have to think about themselves too.

"I will listen to the sect leader. I believe that the sect leader can lead us to a bright future."

Wu Huan said calmly.

Yuan Huaizhou cursed under his breath, calling him an old fox.

Ultimately, this decision still has to be made by him, the sect leader.

“Since no one objects, I’ll talk to Su Mu again. Perhaps we can cooperate.”

Yuan Huaizhou said slowly.

Everyone nodded solemnly.

…………

Before Yuan Huaizhou and the others could even negotiate with Su Mu, Changshengtian had already arrived at the Lesser Heavenly Realm of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect.

To be precise, most of this small celestial realm has now been renamed Su.

Seeing that Su Mu had actually seized a small heavenly realm, the Changsheng Heaven was beyond shocked.

"Your actions are truly unexpected."

Even the Eternal Heaven couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking back to how he had actually tried to ambush Su Mu, Chang Sheng Tian couldn't help but curse himself for being so foolish.

Is someone like that someone I can handle?

Didn't you see how badly even the Heavenly Sect was bullied by Su Mu?

Compared to that, losing the Great Luo Heaven doesn't seem so hard to accept.

"You summoned me here for this?"

Chang Shengtian's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he pondered, "As far as I know, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect does not have any follow-up cultivation methods for the Primordial Beginning Realm."

I haven't had much contact with the Ziwei Heavenly Sect, so I don't know much about it.

However, the Ziwei Heavenly Sect is indeed the strongest among the major Heavenly Sects.

As for whether it's because they mastered the subsequent techniques, I'm not sure.

"I have now broken through to the Primordial Realm, and it is not convenient for me to leave the Lesser Heavenly Realm, so I need you to make a trip for me."

Su Mu said slowly, "Go and go to the Beast Sect to find out about this matter."

"If the Ziwei Heavenly Sect truly possesses the second volume of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing, then go find Emperor Qian Wudi and ask him how the Ziwei Heavenly Sect can grant me permission to borrow it."

"this--"

Chang Shengtian hesitated for a moment, not because he was afraid of running errands.

However, he felt that even if the Ziwei Heavenly Sect possessed something like the Zhou Tian Dao Jing, they wouldn't allow him to borrow it.

"All you need to do is go."

Su Mu said slowly, "The result is not important."

Chang Shengtian didn't know what Su Mu was planning, but he couldn't see through Su Mu anymore, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Then I'll make the trip."

Chang Sheng Tian nodded.

"Wait!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from afar.

Yuan Huaizhou, the sect leader of the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect, stood before the line drawn by Su Mu, cupped his hands in greeting, and announced loudly, "Sect Leader Su, I have a way to make the Purple Star Heavenly Sect bow down." (End of Chapter)
