After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

For some reason, she felt a deep sense of disgust towards this unfathomable man.

It was as if I could see the true faces of those hypocritical righteous people in Beiju Luzhou.

“Mu Yan, you have been stuck in the Mahayana stage for three hundred years. You should have ascended long ago, but you have delayed until now.”

The man in white did not answer, as if he didn't care about these ants from the lower realm at all.

He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.

A golden light surged from Mu Yan's body, transforming into a chain that bound her within.

Facing the shocked gazes of everyone, the man in white said calmly:

"Now that the decree of the Heavenly Court has been issued, you can no longer delay."

Looking at the incredible skill before him, and the arrogant man, he was utterly astonished.

Everyone else present felt their hearts pounding.

The Empress Dowager, who was so powerful and influential, was actually suppressed by this person and could not move.

The aura emanating from him was far beyond what could be described by those at the Tribulation Transcending or Mahayana stages.

And what exactly is the grade of the magic weapon that bound Mu Yan?

"Release me!"

Not far away.

Mu Yan's face was full of disdain as she shouted angrily.

Her eyes burned with furious flames, and her spiritual power surged wildly as she tried to break free from the golden chains.

But the chains did not budge.

"What kind of bullshit 'Lord of Heaven' is he? Who does he think he is?"

Upon hearing the insults, the man in white remained silent for a moment.

A slight ripple finally appeared in those calm, still eyes.

That fluctuation is pity.

"Mu Yan, do you know what the punishment is for disobeying the decrees of the Celestial Realm?"

"Heh, a mere Ascension Realm cultivator, awaits my..."

Just as a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Mu Yan's lips as she struggled to break free.

A sword light shot into the sky, accompanied by blazing flames, and struck the golden lock.

"clang--!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and sparks flew everywhere.

The golden chain trembled slightly, and the runes flowing on it flickered erratically.

But it was completely intact.

The terrifying innate spiritual treasure possessed astonishing defensive power, actually managing to block Xu Ze's full-force sword strike.

Xu Ze gripped the Zhan Yan Sword tightly, his eyes as cold as frost.

He did not hesitate at all.

"Again!"

The second sword strike has already been unleashed.

This sword strike will no longer be aimed at the chains.

Instead, they aimed straight for the white-clad man's head!

The sword light was like a rainbow, and the sword energy was like frost.

The flames burning on the Blazing Sword reached an unprecedented intensity at this moment, and the space around the sword was distorted.

A strike from the Void Refinement stage is terrifyingly powerful!

The man in white finally moved.

He turned his head and looked at the young man in blue robes who dared to swing his sword at him.

His eyes remained calm and serene.

But just as the sword light was about to touch his face...

He frowned slightly, and an invisible barrier materialized in front of him.

"boom--!"

The sword light struck the barrier, unleashing a deafening roar.

The deafening roar shook the entire palace, causing everyone present to experience ear pain.

A terrifying shockwave spread outwards, shattering artificial mountains, evaporating pond water, and turning flowers and plants into dust wherever it passed.

But the barrier remained completely still.

The man in white looked at Xu Ze, and a strange emotion gradually rose in his previously disdainful gaze.

The emotion was shock.

"It was you?"

He spoke, his voice carrying an incredulous tone for the first time.

"Wasn't your soul already thrown into the cauldron and refined to be forever condemned to eternal damnation?"

Xu Ze remained silent, gripping the Zhan Yan Sword in his hand, and simply kept swinging the sword.

He suddenly remembered what Lin Yueyan had said in the Heavenly Book World.

The Heavenly Court has existed for countless eras and is now connected to this world.

He didn't understand at the time.

Now, Xu Ze seemed to understand something.

That's not some lofty celestial realm, nor is it some coveted place of ascension.

Everything I've planned is for my own victory next time!

"Sword cleaves the heavens!"

Xu Ze gripped the Flame-Slaying Sword tightly, his spiritual power surging wildly within him.

The Supreme Sword Bone trembled, the Heaven-Burning Sword Intent roared, and the Primordial Divine Fire burned.

Everything converges at the tip of the sword.

But just as that terrifying sword light was about to strike the man in white.

Everyone at the scene froze in place.

"Ok?"

In Xu Ze's eyes, time seemed to have been frozen.

Instead, a system notification sound was heard.

[Host has successfully completed the dungeon: The Great Xuan Dynasty.]

[Settling your reward]

Chapter 162 The Way Seems Heartless, Yet It Is Full of Compassion

Above the palace, Xu Ze, holding a sword, paused slightly.

Everything around him suddenly froze.

Only the system notification sound still echoed in my mind.

You have successfully completed the third dungeon: The Great Xuan Dynasty.

[Rewards: 5000 points, 3 chances to inherit cultivation, 3 anchor points, 1 chance to draw a random golden talent.]

After the reward settlement screen, that familiar light screen gradually appeared.

"How did we manage to clear the level at this crucial moment?"

Xu Ze watched as everything around him gradually vanished into nothingness, feeling utterly perplexed.

I haven't even cut it down yet!

What's wrong with the system?

Has the illness started?

Before he could figure it out, the image on the screen began to become clearer.

Xu Ze could only look at the scene before him, which resembled a scene from a movie.

It was a majestic mountain gate.

The mountain gate is carved from a single piece of green jade, standing over a hundred feet tall and a thousand feet wide.

Three ancient and vigorous characters are carved on the lintel, each stroke and line containing an indescribable Taoist charm.

Xu Ze's gaze fell on those three words, and his pupils contracted slightly.

——Xuanling Sect.

This is not only a game he created in the real world, but also a force he built within this system instance.

Now, appearing in this scene from ten thousand years ago, it seems so real, so familiar.

The scene continues to move forward.

The perspective passed through the many palaces of the Xuanling Sect, finally settling on a secluded courtyard.

The courtyard was not large, but it was decorated with great elegance.

Several brick and tile houses are scattered in an orderly manner, and an old locust tree grows in the courtyard with lush branches and leaves, casting a cool shade on the ground.

Under the locust tree, there is a stone table and several stone benches. On the stone table, there is an unfinished chess game, with black and white pieces quietly arranged.
