Roar!

The Three-eyed God Monkey screeched, "Girl, your Yin and Yang are out of balance!"

It's true!

Over the years, Miss Chen's temper has gotten worse, and it seriously doubts there's something wrong with her mind, or maybe her Yin and Yang are unbalanced.

A fierce battle erupted between person and monkey, attracting the gazes of onlookers.

Chen Pingping chuckled and shouted, "Miss Chen."

"What?" Chen Shixian glanced over, responding irritably...

Her emotions were turbulent; the monkey wasn't wrong, but what can she do about it?

Once many things have passed, they are just over.

Chen Shixian sheathed her longsword and descended from midair. Her flowing gown swayed, as pure and flawless as ever, but her eyes were filled with a bitter taste.

How many years has it been?

To see this guy again, and everything has changed?

"You're about to tackle the final barrier, please be careful. If you need, I can protect your path," Chen Pingping said seriously.

Guard the path?

Chen Shixian froze, dumbfounded.

Did he know what he was saying?

Guard the path!

Indeed!

Given his current strength, he can easily kill the king of the Ancient City, just guarding the path.

Chen Shixian did not respond but glanced at Guang Xiaoyu. Seeing her calm demeanor stirred waves in her heart, then she shook her head: "No need, I can walk my own path."

She, the proud Ancient Divine Body, has her own pride.

She absolutely wouldn't let Chen Pingping help her, even...if she fails...

Chen Pingping sighed lightly, "Alright!" After a pause, he added, "Recently the Ancient Road has been unstable, you better leave here first!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You're being excessive!" Chen Shixian protested, "Are you looking down on me?"

"Not at all!"

"You definitely are looking down on me." Chen Shixian glared, "Why am I the one being asked to leave with so many people here?"

Chen Pingping stayed silent.

Yue Wuxia has some connections with him and is considered a member of Wuji Sect, plus... the White Emperor also implies so, thus Yue Wuxia can stay here.

Guang Xiaoyu doesn't even need mentioning.

And you, Chen Shixian, are just a passerby with no real need to join the battle.

The upcoming fight will become increasingly frightening.

Sweat!

Yue Wuxia strolled over, laughing heartily, "No worries, by then elder brother will protect you."

Chen Shixian was angry, "You promised I'd only handle two while you take care of the rest, did you know they wouldn't come all along?"

She knew those of the Wuji Sect and Chen Pingping could never be trusted.

All cheats!

Yue Wuxia blinked, "I didn't know!"

"I don't believe you." Chen Shixian gritted her teeth.

"But I do have a spatial domain! When activated, it can temporarily block their paths." Yue Wuxia grinned, "However... it consumes a lot, so if possible, I'd rather not use it."

"Liar."

"Just leave here first!" Chen Pingping glanced at Liu Changqing and Alan, "Long time no see."

Their first reflex was to hide Liu Ting'er.

But Chen Pingping had already noticed this little girl, despite her tightly restrained aura... her divinity couldn't be contained.

So young and already developed a Dantian, stepping onto the cultivation path, remarkable, for sure it's a special constitution.

"Yeah! Long time no see." Liu Changqing smirked, feeling bitter inside, "Each time we meet, you've become excessively stronger."

If we meet next time, wouldn't you have already verified the Tao?

Uh!

He sighed internally, unable to ever catch up to Chen Pingping in this lifetime!

Beside him, Alan guessed his thoughts and grasped his hand tightly.

There's still opportunity.

Indeed!

Their daughter, with an Innate Taoist Body, given time, she'll definitely become invincible, maybe even suppress Chen Pingping.

...

The battle dispersed, dust settled.

The group gradually moved away, leaving the scene.

But news quickly spread throughout the Nine Heavens, shaking the land.

Chen Pingping took action, effortlessly killing the king of the Ancient City, his strength now at such a level, Tao Verification seemed imminent!

When the news reached the Ancient City, the Alliance's upper echelon fell briefly silent.

Several newly arrived Divine Clan experts sneered: "Just a mere Chen Pingping, I'll go kill him."

"Don't be impulsive, this person is quite odd, exceptionally powerful, not someone ordinary from the Human Clan can compare with," someone warned.

Woosh!

Days later, a massive ship sailed swiftly from the depths.

On the deck stood a middle-aged figure, Jing Shiliu...

He gazed contemptuously at this old earth, smirking, "Tao has faded, the Spirit Qi has dried up, everything is wilting, how could such a world birth a strong one?"

Behind him, a man chuckled, "Indeed, so humans are ants, an eternal truth."

Bang!

On the other side, golden Divine Brilliance suddenly burst out, illuminating the sky and land.

Divine Might was imposing, sweeping freely, who knows how many mountains were crushed.

Jing Shiliu frowned on the ship, "People from Brightness Temple usually show no interest in these things, why are they here now?"

"The Investiture of the Gods' imprint can be big or small, falling into the hands of Brightness Temple might be an opportunity, naturally, they'll act," someone on the sidelines replied, "But don't worry sir, we still have the Ancient City card."

Indeed!

Many folks just know the Ancient City is powerful, harboring many invincible ones, along with numerous powerful factions, but they're unaware, behind the Alliance upper echelons stands the True Martial Dynasty.

Though the Ancient City spent years in inaction, they eventually belong here, if they take action to seize certain things, surely they hold an advantage over Brightness Temple.

It makes sense.

Jing Shiliu squinted his eyes slightly, his armor shining brightly as he gazes at the distant land.

The Brightness Temple folks love this, announcing their arrival so everyone knows, fearing others might be unaware of their existence.

Heh heh!

Just an empty reputation.

Jing Shiliu scorned, "That deity has long been severely wounded, clinging to life, even if they obtain the Investiture of the Gods' imprint, so what?"

At this moment!

The Brightness Temple experts also noticed the True Martial Dynasty people, they quietly sped towards the Ancient City, moving swiftly.

On the ship, Jing Shiliu issued the order: "Full speed ahead."

Not long after, yet another gigantic ship arrived. The Dark Tribe, with Dark Unparalleled aboard, curiously surveyed this human land, murmuring to himself, "That fellow said, he is the only supreme being among humans, but... human cultivators should be trash, shouldn't we sweep the human realm?"

With that thought, he raised his head, smirking, "Great, this young master will carry out the most magnificent mission of the Dark Tribe, onward, target the Investiture of the Gods' imprint."

Woosh!

The ship began accelerating, racing towards the front.
