The First Marquis of Daxuan

The Great Qian Dynasty, Dragon Hidden Mountain.

Inside the small heavenly realm of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.

Several elderly men with white hair and beards stood around a bell, all looking at it with some excitement.

One of them even reached out and stroked the surface of the clock, his beard trembling slightly.

"The Zhou Tian Star Bell has finally returned to our Ziwei Heavenly Sect."

The old man spoke slowly, his tone filled with joy.

Qian Wudi stood far away, not even daring to straighten his back.

Each of these people in front of him was once an emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, and even more so, his invincible ancestor.

He truly couldn't stand up straight in front of these people.

He had no idea what secrets the Celestial Bell held that could excite the patriarchs so much.

However, his mission was considered complete.

"Invincible, you've done a good job. From now on, you shall enter the Lesser Heavenly Realm to cultivate. I see that you are not far from the half-step Primordial Realm. I will personally guide you later, and you will definitely be able to break through in less than three months."

The leading old man turned around and said to Qian Wudi.

Qian Wudi was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Ancestor!"

The old man in front of me is the most senior ancestor who is still alive, named Qian Bozheng.

This ancestor, who is also the current sect master of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect, is the most powerful cultivator in the Qian family.

The fact that the ancestor spoke meant that Qian Wudi was now invincible.

Qian Wudi was confident that his talent was second to none, and that given the opportunity, he would surely become one of the strongest people in the world.

"Ancestor."

At this moment, another old man spoke up, "To unlock the secret of the Zhou Tian Star Bell, one must collect all the Zhou Tian Dao Scriptures."

Although we possess most of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing (Scripture of the Heavenly Cycle), we have only the introductory first volume. What should we do?

"Who told you that unlocking the secrets of the Zhou Tian Star Clock requires the complete Zhou Tian Dao Jing?"

Qian Bozheng smiled and said slowly, "That's just something to fool outsiders."

The ancestor came from the Ziwei Star back then, and the two who came with him were said to be his junior brothers, but in reality they were just servants.

Thinking they were now powerful enough, they took advantage of their ancestor's serious injury and betrayed him, not only stealing half of the Zhou Tian Dao Jing (Scripture of the Heavenly Cycle) but also the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Bell (Clock of the Heavenly Cycle).

The ancestor, in order to protect the secret of the Zhou Tian Star Bell, lied to them, saying that only the complete Zhou Tian Dao Jing (Daoist Scripture of the Heavenly Cycle) could unlock its secret.

A cold smile appeared on Qian Bozheng's face.

"They think that by establishing the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect and the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, they can be on equal footing with my Qian family. That's just wishful thinking!"
Now, this Beast Taming Heavenly Sect actually dares to rebel against their master; they deserve to die!

Qian Bozheng looked arrogant, showing no regard for the Breaking Law Heaven Sect and the Beast Taming Heaven Sect.

Only then did everyone understand the relationship between the Ziwei Heavenly Sect and the other two Heavenly Sects, and for the first time, they heard that their ancestor actually came from that Ziwei Star.

"Ancestor, how can we unlock the secrets of the Zhou Tian Star Clock?"

Everyone asked in unison.

"There are two ways to unlock the secret of the Zhou Tian Star Bell: one is to master the Zhou Tian Dao Scripture, and the other is to possess the bloodline of my Qian family!"

Qian Bozheng said, "My Qian family is the master of Ziwei Star. This Zhou Tian Star Bell originally belonged to my Qian family, so the blood of my Qian family members can awaken the Zhou Tian Star Bell."

As he spoke, Qian Bozheng pricked his finger and smeared his blood on the Zhou Tian Star Clock.

hum.

The Zhou Tian Star Bell trembled violently, and a beam of light shot into the sky.

The light instantly transformed into a void, dotted with countless stars.

One by one, the stars were lit up, seemingly forming a road.

suddenly.

The road is blocked.

It was as if several stars had vanished out of thin air.

It's impossible to know where this road leads anymore.

Everyone froze in place.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Qian Bozheng roared angrily, "Who, who activated the Zhou Tian Star Bell ahead of time!"

He knew that the Zhou Tian Star Clock would only display the complete star path the first time it was activated. Once activated, the star path would automatically disconnect to ensure that the secret was not leaked.

But before him, no one could possibly activate the Zhou Tian Star Clock.

Swish!
All eyes turned to Qian Wudi.

"Qian Wudi! Did you accidentally drip blood onto the Zhou Tian Star Clock?"

Qian Bozheng shouted angrily.

Qian Wudi shrank back, his whole body trembling.

With so many powerful beings at the Primordial Beginning Realm releasing their auras at the same time, he felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and he almost couldn't stand up straight.

No, no.

Qian Wudi said tremblingly.

After obtaining the Zhou Tian Star Bell, he rushed back without engaging in any combat. How could there have been any bloodshed?
A figure flashed through Qian Wudi's mind.

Shetland Sheepdog!

This matter is definitely related to Su Mu!

He simply had no evidence and dared not tell these elders.

If it really was Su Mu who did this, wouldn't that mean he brought back a useless bell from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect?
That's absolutely unacceptable!
He, Qian Wudi, successfully completed his mission; everything else was irrelevant to him!

This is a problem that our ancestors themselves had.

I, Qian Wudi, will absolutely not take the blame for this.

"Ancestor, you can examine me. I am absolutely not injured. I wonder if there might be other things that you don't know about?"

Qian Wudi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "You also said that when our ancestor came here from Ziwei Star, he was already seriously injured."

Could it be around that time?

Qian Bozheng frowned deeply. How could he possibly know about something that had been exposed by the dead?

He's never even met his ancestors, has he?

He even heard the legend of the Purple Star from his own father, and several generations had passed from his ancestors to his father.

Legends are a mix of truth and fiction, and no one can say for sure that what has been passed down is the whole truth.

Qian Bozheng stared at Qian Wudi, thinking that this descendant would not dare to deceive him.

What exactly went wrong?

"Hmph, the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect!"

Qian Bozheng said coldly, "They are all from the Breaking Law Heaven Sect!"
Our ancestor was seriously injured back then and was unable to clean up the mess, so I haven't had time to deal with them all these years.

With both old and new grudges, this time, I'll settle things with them!

boom!
The bluestone beneath Qian Bozheng's feet shattered, and his entire body emanated a terrifying killing intent.

Forced by the imposing aura, Qian Wudi involuntarily took several steps back, his face instantly turning bloodless.

"Invincible Qian!"

Qian Bozheng shouted, "I will give you all the half-step Primordial Realm experts of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect. From now on, I want you to defeat the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect at all costs and as quickly as possible, and then surround and attack the Dharma Breaking Heavenly Sect!"
When the great calamity descends, I will annihilate the Breaking Law Heaven Sect immediately!

Qian Bozheng's tone was filled with killing intent. If he could leave the Lesser Heavenly Realm now, he would probably have already attacked the Breaking Law Heavenly Sect!

At all costs, at all costs!
Qian Wudi smiled bitterly to himself, but since the ancestor had already given the order, there was no room for him to object.

"Invincible, I accept the order."

Qian Wudi bowed and said.

…………

"You don't know?"

Su Mu looked at Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people in front of him with some surprise.

Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people were even more bewildered.

They both shook their heads.

"This is the first time we've heard of this. We originally thought that the so-called Heavenly Gate was like a door that you could open and then cross over."

Yuan Huaizhou remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "So this place is a cage. The so-called Earth-Heaven Gate is where we escaped. If we want to reach the Heavenly Realm, we still have to travel such a long way."

Yuan Huaizhou wore a bitter smile.

This was the first time he had heard such details.

"Is this the secret within the Celestial Clock?"

Yuan Huaizhou looked at Su Mu and asked.

Was our ancestor so vague back then because he was afraid we would lose faith?

"That's not it."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Nine times out of ten, even your ancestor didn't know the truth."

The most precious part of the Zhou Tian Star Clock is probably this star path leading to the celestial realm.

The Primordial Realm is merely the qualification to embark on the journey.

He looked up at the sky and was truly awestruck when he saw the celestial road from the Zhou Tian Star Clock.

Who would have thought that such a magnificent world is just a cage?

Once a Tai Chu Realm expert enters this place, they will be imprisoned. The only way to leave is during a great calamity that occurs once every few years.

This mechanism of the world may also be to protect the creatures here.

After all, the experts of the Primordial Realm are too powerful. If they act recklessly, the creatures of the Great Thousand World will have no chance of survival.

In any case, reaching that legendary, immortal heavenly realm doesn't seem to be an easy task.

That celestial path covers countless stars. If each star is a world, it means one must traverse countless worlds to reach the celestial realm.

Who knows if those worlds, like this Great Thousand World, can imprison experts at the Primordial Realm?
This is absolutely a difficult journey comparable to the pilgrimage to the West.

Let alone Yuan Huaizhou and others, even Su Mu felt his scalp tingle when he thought about it carefully.

There are just too many unpredictable things along the way.

If possible, it would be better to stay in this vast world and live a carefree life. Of course, this could also be because Su Mu is still young.

He still has a long life ahead of him, so he is not worried about death.

But people like Yuan Huaizhou, although they are already powerful beings in the Primordial Realm, have lived for countless years and their lifespan has long been exhausted.

If they do not find a way out, their lifespan will soon run out, and they will die.

The older you get, the more afraid you become of death.

Su Mu couldn't guarantee that his thoughts wouldn't change when he got older.

It's highly likely that things will change.

It is often said that old people are not afraid of death, but in fact, the older people get, the more afraid they are of death.

"Thank you, Sect Master Su, for revealing the truth."

Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people remained silent for a long time before bowing to Su Mu.

"What your Heavenly Sect considers a secret is nothing to me."

Su Mu said calmly, "I have already told you the truth. If there is an opportunity in the future, I can help you leave this world. As for whether you can complete that journey, that depends on your abilities."

Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people exchanged bitter smiles.

To be fair, Su Mu had already done more than enough for them.

Not only did they reveal the secret of the Celestial Clock, but they would also help them leave this place.

If they don't know these things, when the great calamity of heaven and earth descends, they will hastily "escape" from prison. Not to mention whether they can succeed, even if they do succeed, they will not know which way to go afterward.

Now at least we know the direction.

However, the more they learned the truth, the more lost they became.

I used to think that if I just gave it my all, I could break through the gates of heaven and get through it.

Now I realize that the so-called door was just a wall, and the real destination was still a long way off.

For a moment, everyone felt somewhat discouraged.

It's not that they underestimate themselves, but that they genuinely don't believe they can do it.

Even experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm lacked that confidence.

"Sect Leader Su, if, I mean if."

Yuan Huaizhou pondered for a moment and said, "If you are also going to the Heavenly Realm, can we travel together?"

Although our strength is average, we can still do some things along the way that don't require your intervention.

Yuan Huaizhou had already adopted an extremely humble posture when he said these words.

In other words, this is a complete disgrace to the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

But the Wuhuan people were not surprised at all.

They even felt it was only right.

That's right, that's exactly how it should be.

Without Su Mu, they would never have been able to complete that Heavenly Road.

If there is one person who can complete that heavenly journey, they believe it is none other than Su Mu.

If they could travel with Su Mu, they might have a slim chance of reaching the Heavenly Realm.

If it were them—

Everyone has their own internal standards. You can boast about your abilities to outsiders, but there's no need to deceive yourself.

"If I ever really want to go, it's fine to come along."

Su Mu said calmly.

Just then, two figures suddenly flew over from a distance.

The visitors were none other than Changshengtian and Huang Chao.

"Something terrible has happened."

The two approached Su Mu and spoke with serious expressions.

"The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect has been defeated."

Chang Shengtian said in a deep voice, "The Great Qian Dynasty is too terrifying. They defeated the beast army of the Beast Taming Sect and surrounded the Beast Taming Sect."

"If it weren't for the presence of a Primordial Realm expert within the Lesser Heavenly Realm, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect would likely have been completely wiped out."

A hint of fear flashed in Changshengtian's eyes.

Who could have imagined that the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, which was initially in a very favorable position, would suffer such a swift defeat?

Despite having the support of pills provided by Su Mu, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect ultimately fell into this state.

When the Great Qian Dynasty truly unleashed its full power, the immortal genius realized just how terrifying this behemoth was.

"Not only that, the army of the Great Qian Dynasty is also heading towards the Po Fa Tian Sect. All resistance along the way will be crushed by them, and our Great Xuan has also been greatly affected."

Huang Chao added.

Although the Great Qian Dynasty did not take action against the Great Xuan, the world was in turmoil, and the Great Xuan could not remain unaffected.

Moreover, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect is an ally of the Great Xuan.

"We speculate that the true purpose of the Great Qian Dynasty is to destroy the Heavenly Law Sect."

Chang Sheng Tian and Huang Chao spoke at the same time.

The members of the Breaking Law Heaven Sect exchanged glances and then turned their gazes to Su Mu.

A few words came to mind.

Zhou Tian Xing Chen Zhong!
The Great Qian Dynasty exchanged the Zhou Tian Dao Jing for the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Zhong (a type of celestial clock), so logically they should have stopped their activities now.

But they went to such great lengths after obtaining the Zhou Tian Star Bell.

There is only one explanation.

That means there's something wrong with the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Clock they obtained.

They were fooled.

That's why I'm so angry.

Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people witnessed Su Mu handing the Zhou Tian Star Bell to Qian Wudi, and Yuan Huaizhou himself handed the Zhou Tian Star Bell to Su Mu.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

If there's any problem, it's definitely because Su Mu tampered with things.

Su Mu's actions brought utter disaster upon the Breaking Law Heaven Sect.

However, Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people did not harbor any resentment.

They'll just cheer.

Well done, Shetland Sheepdog!
Why should their Zhou Tian Xing Chen Bell grant Zi Wei Tian Zong his long-cherished wish?

They and the Ziwei Heavenly Sect were originally enemies.

Moreover, they fear Su Mu, but not the Ziwei Heavenly Sect or the Great Qian Dynasty.

"That old scoundrel has never given up on killing me."

Yuan Huaizhou sneered, "Others may fear the Great Qian Dynasty, but my Po Fa Tian Sect is not afraid. Sect Master Su, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just watch our abilities."

Yuan Huaizhou and the Wuhuan people were all eager to fight.

As powerful beings in the Primordial Realm, they were crushed by Su Mu the moment they were born, unable to even lift their heads. Although they dared not resent Su Mu, they couldn't help but feel a lot of resentment in their hearts.

Now the Great Qian Dynasty has given them a chance to vent their anger.

suddenly.

Su Mu raised his head.

"You may have no choice but to take action."

Su Mu spoke slowly.

At this moment, Yuan Huaizhou and the other Tai Chu Realm experts, including Wu Huan, also looked up at the sky.

The sky had turned dark red at some point, as if it had been splashed with blood.

In the dark red sky, a dense network of veins appeared, weaving together to envelop the entire world.

"It really is a cage."

Yuan Huaizhou muttered to himself.

What Su Mu had told them before was now right before their eyes.

This network is the mastermind behind imprisoning the Primordial Realm experts and numerous other beings within the Great Thousand Worlds.

With this net in place, they cannot escape this world.

Even worse, these powerful beings at the Primordial Realm are forced to retreat to a corner of the world.

The moment this net appeared, Yuan Huaizhou understood.

A great calamity has befallen the world, or rather, their chance to escape has arrived.

Rumble!
A low rumble of thunder sounded.

The crimson hue in the sky gradually faded, leaving only a large, blood-red net.

The large net seemed to be disturbed by some force, its crimson color flickering uncertainly.

As the giant internet celebrity's light flashed, a strange power rippled through the world.

"Nothing."

Yuan Huaizhou said in a deep voice, "The restrictions imposed by Heaven and Earth on experts of the Primordial Beginning Realm have been lifted. We can now leave the Lesser Heavenly Realm."

Yuan Huaizhou said with delight.

He also understood the meaning of Su Mu's words.

Now that they can leave the Lesser Heavenly Realm, these Primordial Realm experts can finally make their move.

Yuan Huaizhou tentatively took a step forward, his body appearing outside the Lesser Heavenly Realm, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I, Yuan Huaizhou, am finally free!"

Yuan Huaizhou laughed loudly, "If the Great Qian Dynasty wants to deal with my Pofa Tianzong, then let them see the power of my Pofa Tianzong!"

"Yuan Huaizhou!"

Just then, a loud shout came from afar.

"You dare to mock me? You all must die!" (End of Chapter)
