She thought it remarkable that Chu Xisheng wasn’t worried about the Iron Banner Gang at all.

According to the latest news, the Daning Court had already deployed 7.9 million troops along the Tianhuai River, Grand Canal, and Shenxiu River.

Five heavy military groups hung over the Iron Banner Gang like five heavy hammers.

Yet Chu Xisheng was not concerned in the slightest and continued to wander outside.

"Why are you looking for Chu Ming?" Lu Luanti’s expression was suspicious: "To kill her?"

Chu Xisheng gazed into the distance with a leisurely look in his eyes: "I have definite news that Chu Ming’s Cultivation has advanced to the First Grade Upper!"

——So it’s time to close the net.

Lu Luanti’s graceful body trembled slightly, showing a look of disbelief in her eyes.

What kind of medicine did that woman Chu Ming take? She had already advanced to First Grade Upper!

However, her expression soon became as calm as usual: "I really don’t know why you keep her around, what do you intend to do?"

Lu Luanti wasn’t worried at all.

A Cultivation of First Grade Upper is strong, but there are as many as thirty to fifty names on the Heavenly List who are suppressed by Chu Xisheng in the First Grade.

Moreover, Chu Ming’s rapid advancement was undoubtedly due to using some unorthodox method, not the righteous path.

This First Grade obtained through external forces is certainly not as good as one achieved through true cultivation.

Moreover, Chu Xisheng had long been a Vengeance True Spirit! Twenty-seven days ago, he had been already.

This guy’s Divine Intent Touch Death Blade had also reached the twenty-fourth layer!

It should be noted that the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord created the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade in his lifetime, only reaching the twenty-third layer! Yet Chu Xisheng was able to surpass and go further!

This guy had recently exhibited a terrifying comprehension and Spiritual Wisdom, with ever-deepening Martial Arts accomplishments that were like an unfathomable abyss, inscrutably deep.

Additionally, there was Little Flat Head.

This little guy was only one step away from becoming a Vengeance True Spirit as well.

This time, Chu Xisheng came to Lishan to seek the qualification for Enlightenment, most likely for Little Flat Head, to help it quickly become the second Vengeance True Spirit in the world!

At the Third Grade Stage, it was hard for Chu Xisheng’s power to improve much further, but Little Flat Head still had immense potential.

This man was already contemplating plans and making preparations for promotion to the Second Grade.

Chu Xisheng was also pondering over the matter of advancing his Cultivation.

The Essence left to him by Ween Suyi was plentiful, so over the past month, Chu Xisheng’s cultivation had progressed with Divine Speed.

It was expected that within two more months, Chu Xisheng would be able to complete the accumulation of True Yuan.

But the secret medicine that followed was troublesome.

The item entrusted by the mysterious person to be passed to him through Lishan Old Mother could temporarily shield him from the eyes of All Gods, yet it could only help Chu Xisheng once.

He either used it to promote to Lower Second Grade or for the moment of advancing to Lower First Grade.

In other words, if he was willing, in two months, he could directly advance to Second Grade!

Chu Xisheng pondered for a moment and then shook his head slightly.

He still wanted to try, to see if he could complete the advancement using his own strength.

He wanted to save this treasure for a more critical moment.

Chu Xisheng was completely unaware that after he left Lishan, about nine hours later, a graceful woman in green abruptly stood up from her seated meditation at the foot of the Heavenly Inquiry Peak of Lishan.

She raised her head to look at the peak of the Heavenly Inquiry Peak, her expression extremely shadowed, and murmured three words under her breath: "Xuan Qiushui!"

This was the actual name of Lishan Old Mother, though few in the world knew it.

And this woman in green was none other than the Master of Pure and Satisfied, Shen Jingli.

A month ago, she predicted that Chu Xisheng would most likely return to the Iron Banner Gang, so she went to East State, waiting for half a month without seeing any sign of Chu Xisheng.

Regardless of how Shen Jingli deduced or divined, even with the aid of Shen Putian and the Three Great Celestial, she could not predict Chu Xisheng’s whereabouts.

Not until ten days ago, when Shen Putian told her that Chu Xisheng might be in Lishan, was the fog before her eyes slightly parted.

Only then did she realize that during this recent period, Chu Xisheng had remained under the protection of Lishan Old Mother, Xuan Qiushui.

If it weren’t for the gods’ pawns in Lishan risking their lives to send messages out, she might still be in the dark.

Yet today, she had been played by Xuan Qiushui once again.

The Three Great Celestial warned her that the river of future destiny’s Temporal Order was undergoing drastic changes.

This clearly indicated that Chu Xisheng had indeed left the mountain —

Shen Jingli’s eyes were filled with seething rage.

This Xuan Qiushui thought that by hiding in the Mortal World, All Gods would be powerless against her?

And in the next instant, Lishan Old Mother directly appeared before her, standing a hundred zhang away, gazing at her from a distance.

"Who would have thought? It’s the Master of Pure and Satisfied."

In white clothes and a white dress, Lishan Old Mother Xuan Qiushui’s face, icy and elegant, remained as cool as ever: "What brings you to my Lishan?"

"Is there a need to ask what you already know?"

Shen Jingli’s eyes shifted, her gaze icy: "You’ve violated the agreement with the Ancestor Gods, forgotten Their warnings, and meddled in Mortal World affairs. It seems you’re courting death!"

"Agreement? Warnings?" Xuan Qiushui, hands behind her back, was unconcerned: "That’s your own presumption, I never said I would comply."

In Shen Jingli’s eyes, the cold gleam grew even more frigid.

But just as she was preparing to speak, she sensed the intense disturbance of Temporal Power around her.

Boundless thunder and gales were brewing around her.

Shen Jingli’s expression changed instantly.

Her Purification Technique could not cleanse this power!

This Lishan Old Mother actually intended to eliminate her Avatar here!

And indeed, this woman, in the domain of Time Order, established her own path of Time, becoming a Time Saint!

Shen Jingli already felt her body rapidly aging and decaying under the impact of the Power of Time.

If it were her true body here, she would naturally be more than a match for Lishan Old Mother.

The problem was that now, she was just a Demigod Rank Avatar, whose extreme combat power could only reach the level of a Lower God.

Shen Jingli’s figure shifted instantly, breaking free by force with Ruyi Power, escaping three thousand li away.

Leaving only an echo resounding throughout Lishan: "Xuan Qiushui, aiding the Human Clan against the will of All Gods, you’re courting death! In two years, I shall lead All Gods to trample Lishan, eliminate all your forces, and annihilate every descendant of the Chenghuang lineage."

A hint of regret appeared in Lishan Old Mother Xuan Qiushui’s eyes.

She had been so close to eliminating Shen Jingli’s Avatar just now.

Fortunately, there was still Little Zhao. Bai Xiaozhao was right by Chu Xisheng’s side, and they might yet have a chance to cross paths.

But why did this woman head northwest?

Lishan Old Mother immediately understood.

——Lu Luanti was about to advance and urgently needed secret medicine.

——The nearest Chaos Subspecies was in the Northwestern Mo State and Fire State, where there was also a Chaos Bloodline Giant Spirit Clan offshoot known as the ’Chaotic Hair Clan.’

——Lishan also holds significant power in Mo State and Fire State, additionally, Chu Xisheng’s Lifebound Divine Beast had advanced its Cultivation there.

This woman likely made the judgment that Chu Xisheng went to the northwestern Mo State and Fire State based on these reasons.

Lishan Old Mother shook her head, flashed back to the top of Weentian Peak, then stood on the eaves of Qianqiu Hall as usual, gazing into the blue sky.

Her face was as cool and expressionless as ever, unchanged from the past.

Only Xuan Qiushui herself knew that she was not the same as before.

Within her heart, she now harbored hope and a fighting spirit not seen since the self-sealing of Emperor Xuanhuang.

There was now someone in this world who could unite Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang as one! Now, what he lacked was only Cultivation, only Bloodline.

Only with true Near-God Power could the sealing of Diwa be broken.

Addittionally, he would need the power of the technique that fuses Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang.

That little Zhe Dragon, assisting Emperor Jianyuan to seize the Wanxiang and Guiyi Bloodlines of Chu Xisheng and Qin Muge, was to meld the powers of Extreme Yin and Yang.

Though Chu Xisheng had lost the family-inherited ’Wanxiang,’ he had formed an entirely new powerful bloodline himself.

Lishan Old Mother couldn’t fully discern it, only surmising from the evidence gathered when dispelling Temporal Power for Chu Xisheng, that this bloodline was based on Chaos and Wanxiang.

To extract myriad laws from chaos? This little guy sure has grand ambitions.

——That was not simulation, nor domination, but extraction!

His Chaos encompassed all phenomena, consolidated all laws, his body like the Heavenly Dao!

This Bloodline Power was extremely formidable, for Chu Xisheng needed only to elevate it to the Twenty-tier — no! Only to the Fifteenth Tier to merge Yin and Yang.

As for Near-God Power, it wasn’t a problem for Chu Xisheng.

That little guy, as long as he stepped into the First-grade Realm, would possess the power to unseal Diwa!

Thus, she would not allow Chu Xisheng to fail, absolutely not!

She would not permit anyone to block Chu Xisheng’s way!
