A master of comedy!

"Zhou Sheng?"

Upon hearing the name, Yan Jun was first taken aback, then his eyes flashed with undisguised resentment, and his youthful face twisted in pain.

"What is his cultivation level now?"

"Seven Tribulations Earth Immortal Realm".

The hatred in Yama's eyes vanished instantly, and his distorted face returned to calm. However, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes as he looked at the old eunuch.

"If you want to kill me, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

At his peak, he was at the Eighth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm. Although he had divine assistance in his cultivation after reincarnation, he has only managed to survive two Heavenly Tribulations so far.

Killing that insignificant sorcerer back then would be no more difficult than killing a chicken now.

The old eunuch smiled faintly and continued, "There is a good opportunity now. If I'm not mistaken, he should be undergoing his eighth heavenly tribulation soon. This time, I will make him die and his soul perish!"

Yama's heart stirred.

The eighth heavenly tribulation is the Bifeng Tribulation. He had experienced it once in his previous life, so he naturally knew how terrifying it was. Those who undergo the tribulation will be blown into their six internal organs by the Bifeng wind from the fontanelle, through the dantian, through the nine orifices, scattering their three souls and cleansing their seven spirits.

Even the most powerful person can momentarily lose their composure.

"Not enough. Right now, I'm afraid I can't even break through his protective divine light..."

Even if Zhou Sheng falls into a coma, he will be protected by magic power, and he can stand still so that the magic power cannot get close to him.

The old eunuch slowly reached out his hand and handed him a pill.

"Taking this elixir will allow you to temporarily regain your peak cultivation level from your previous life, so seize the opportunity to kill with one blow."

Yan Jun's eyes flickered, and he finally put the pill into his robes.

"Brother, let me eliminate the last rival for you, the new ruler of the Three Realms!"

……

"Heavenly Venerable, the dragon vein is complete and ready for use at any time."

Inside the mansion, Yao Guangxiao took out the bottle containing the dragon vein and gave it to Zhou Sheng to examine.

Beneath the dragon's eyes, a phantom of a beast resembling a tiger but with dragon horns and scales suddenly opened its eyes, seemingly sensing the dragon vein aura within Zhou Sheng's body, and continuously let out excited roars.

Awe-inspiring and majestic, upright and just.

Zhou Sheng's eyes showed surprise. He examined it carefully and couldn't find the slightest flaw. All the imperfections had disappeared.

Even the golden dragon patterns on the tortoise shell Luoshu in his sea of ​​consciousness were trembling.

The skill is so superb that it can fool even the most skilled craftsmen.

If he hadn't just met Bao Ying half an hour ago, and the other party hadn't sent him a lot of news about the recent exploration of the dragon vein, as well as a report on the progress of the recent large-scale establishment of schools, he would have been even more impressed.

Zhou Sheng probably thought this was Bao Ying's dragon vein.

"Minister Yao, you've worked hard."

"There will be a great reward after this matter."

Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly and said, "If it weren't for the Heavenly Venerable, even if I had the skill of raising dragons, it would be useless. It was the Heavenly Venerable who gave my skills a chance to be put to use."

"When does the Celestial Venerable plan to refine the Dragon Vein?"

"Let's not delay, let's do it tonight."

Zhou Sheng gripped the bottle firmly.

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao added, "The Bifeng Tribulation is even more terrifying than the Yin Fire Tribulation. Although the Heavenly Venerable is a genius, he will surely be able to overcome it safely. However, I fear that there may be external enemies who seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and interfere with the Heavenly Venerable's breakthrough."

"What Prime Minister Yao says is quite right. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Zhou Sheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked.

Yao Guangxiao was an extremely intelligent man who always planned ten steps ahead for every one step he took. Since he mentioned this hidden danger, it meant that he must have already come up with a solution.

Zhou Sheng certainly had his own ideas, but he believed in listening to all sides and was willing to take advice from intelligent people.

Yao Guangxiao suddenly stopped talking and quietly looked at Zhou Sheng's seat.

That is not the throne of China, but it is more precious than a royal throne. It is neither made of wood nor stone, but is made of jade from three mountains and contains the essence of the five elements. The relief carving of the Big Dipper on its back was made by the old celestial master of Longhu Mountain.

The brocade covering the seat is made from millennia-old snow silkworms from the Kunlun Tianshan Mountains.

Even the Qilin carved on its four legs comes from the Lu Ban lineage of the Yin Bai family, and has the spiritual effect of warding off evil and gathering energy.

Everyone knows that in China, the truly supreme position is not the throne of the religious leader, but the chair of the Heavenly Venerable.

After gazing at him for a moment, Yao Guangxiao suddenly grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and said in a very light but not at all frivolous tone, "I wonder if the Heavenly Venerable would allow this humble monk to sit in this chair for a moment?"

Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

……

into the night.

Yu Zhensheng, Yu Tianheng, Jinse, Hongxian, and other experts who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation all gathered at the Zhou residence.

All the renowned masters of the Longhua Sect had come. Many looked excited, believing that the Celestial Venerable must have something important to announce by summoning so many important figures in the middle of the night.

Perhaps they will soon lead their troops westward and march on Chang'an under cover of night!
Many people were eager to try, but they didn't expect to wait for two hours without the Celestial Venerable showing up. Not to mention them, even the sect leader was waiting.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves, wondering what had happened.

Jinse and the others, who knew the inside story, looked solemn and remained silent, voluntarily guarding Zhou Sheng's door.

"Has Bao Xiang not arrived yet?"

As night deepened, Jinse frowned slightly when she saw that Bao Ying had not arrived yet, and asked him aloud.

One of his men quickly replied, "Reporting to the Master, Prime Minister Bao is no longer in Luoyang. He said he was going to inspect the schools in Kaifeng..."

Jinse nodded. Bao Ying's cultivation level wasn't high, and he hadn't undergone tribulation yet, so his absence wouldn't have much of an impact.

Time passed slowly until a loud bang came from the room.

A chilling, eerie wind swept by, and suddenly the world changed color, with dark clouds obscuring the starry sky over Luoyang, as a terrifying calamity descended.

Click!

The wall cracked and collapsed with a crash.

They finally met the Celestial Venerable, but their expressions suddenly changed.

The Heavenly Venerable, whom countless people regarded as the pillar of the nation, was now covered in blood, sitting in a chair as if unconscious, his robes fluttering and a constant chilling wind emanating from him.

"Heavenly Venerable!"

They instantly understood that the Celestial Venerable was not summoning them to launch a night raid on Chang'an, but rather to undergo tribulation—the eighth Heavenly Tribulation!

Clang!
The sound of the zither was like the clang of a sword, instantly bringing them to their senses.

"Everyone, listen to my command! Protect the Heavenly Venerable and beware of any villains attacking!"

"Here!"

They drew their weapons and magical artifacts, carefully observing their surroundings.

But as it turns out, the real danger often comes from within.

One of them appeared to be on guard, but his footsteps were slowly approaching Zhou Sheng. Finally, hatred flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly rushed towards Zhou Sheng.

As he ran, he swallowed a magic pill.

"General Li, what are you doing?"

Those who tried to stop him were blown into stark white bones by his demonic aura.

A powerful aura erupted, and demonic energy soared into the sky.

"He is not General Li!"

"Stop him!"

Clang!
The first sound to be heard was Jinse's zither music, but the person only hummed it, and the music became chaotic, with one of the strings snapping.

Jinse coughed up blood and was injured.

As the demon general Yang Ying thrust his spear, he didn't even look at it; his figure flashed like lightning and he passed the spear's shadow.

The Wind and Thunder Swords automatically pierced his body, producing a muffled sound, and he was then knocked away.

Yu Tianheng's Nine Dragon Seal, which seemed to press down like Mount Tai, was shattered by Yu Tianheng's head, causing the earth to crack and mountains to collapse.

Even the Red Thread Dragon Fire Spear couldn't pierce his skin, and the Samadhi True Fire couldn't even burn a single hair.

He slapped the annoying "little fly" away and snatched the Divine Dragon Fire Spear. He finally met his opponent, Yu Zhensheng, who was at the Earth Immortal Realm, and his expression became slightly more serious.

But that's all.

After a few moves, Yu Zhensheng's ancestral golden spear was knocked away, and he himself coughed up blood and fell back.

From this point on, no one could protect Zhou Sheng anymore.

Without any hesitation, his eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of avenging his great enemy, he thrust his spear at Zhou Sheng.

puff!
The shot landed squarely and viciously, pinning Zhou Sheng to the chair.

"Heavenly Venerable!"

"Boss!"

Screams of alarm rang out, filled with fear.

Cracks appeared on Zhou Sheng's body, and blood splattered continuously.

But those tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, their bloodshot pupils revealing an extreme madness, and their laughter shook the heavens.

"Old man, I won!"

"Congratulations, Celestial Venerable, on achieving... the Eighth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm!"
