Over the vast snow-covered landscape, Wu Kongxue, Lady Lian Yue, Fire Demon, Wu Hei, and other Independent Demons, as well as True Master Ming Liang, True Master Ming Shan, True Master Lan Bing, Xue Yuyang, and the rest of the Independent Immortals, were preparing to part ways.

"True Master Ming Liang, that Skyfire Evil Lord actually knew the secrets of the Ni Yang Realm. This person is extremely mysterious; it wouldn’t be surprising if he really was acquainted with Zong Jue of Pengmo Island," Lady Lian Yue said with a heavy heart.

Zong Jue.

The Island Master of Pengmo Island, the veritable number one person in the Chaotic Star Sea.

The mere mention of Zong Jue’s name seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of the experts present, as if a stone was pressing down on them.

Wu Kongxue nodded, "Considering the mysterious and unpredictable actions of the Skyfire Evil Lord, who dared to set both Yin Yue Palace and Qingxu Temple ablaze, leaving nothing but ashes, there’s nothing he wouldn’t dare do. And since he also knows the secrets of the Ni Yang Realm, it would be strange if he didn’t tell Zong Jue."

The group of Independent Immortals and Demons nodded in agreement.

The Skyfire Evil Lord gave them all the impression of someone fearless, willing to do anything.

"And don’t forget the person who released the green light to save the Skyfire Evil Lord—their strength is exceptionally strong as well," Wu Kongxue reminded everyone.

After pondering for a moment, True Master Ming Liang said, "Wu Kongxue, Lian Yue, I have a feeling that in the coming period, Tenglong Continent will no longer be our Tenglong Continent. Hidden powers from various places will step into Tenglong Continent. If we continue fighting each other at this time, we’ll only end up benefiting others when it really counts."

Everyone present nodded unconsciously in agreement.

All of them felt the pressure.

The future... was going to witness even bloodier battles and carnage.

"What’s most important now is to preserve our strength. Ming Liang, although we’ve been fighting for a long time, most of those who died were ordinary Loose Cultivators; not many powerful cultivators have perished. Our loss of power is only about twenty or thirty percent," Lady Lian Yue spoke up, "I suggest we call a temporary truce. We must not allow the Dragon Clan, the Chaotic Star Sea, and other hidden powers to take advantage of us."

True Master Ming Liang thought for a while and then nodded, "Lian Yue makes a good point."

Wu Kongxue did not stir up trouble anymore.

At this moment, Wu Kongxue too felt the pressure. Not only from the expert who had just attacked in stealth but also from two invincible beings—Fang Tian, the Patriarch of Dragon Clan, and Zong Jue, the Island Master of Pengmo Island.

Following this battle, both the factions of Independent Immortals and Independent Demons called a temporary truce.

Above the clouds, tens of thousands of li away, Yu Liang observed the spot where the Immortals and Demons had just gathered.

"Master, why did you just save that Skyfire Evil Lord?" Wushan asked with a frown of confusion.

The one who had acted to save Qin Yu was none other than Yu Liang. However, it was immensely difficult for Yu Liang alone to save Qin Yu in front of so many people. When Yu Liang saw that the mysterious ’Skyfire Evil Lord’ had escaped on his own, he did not pursue further.

"Wushan, that Skyfire Evil Lord is no ordinary person," Yu Liang said with a smile, "To release so much Heavenly Fire and burn down the entire Yinyue Mountain Range and Qingxu Mountain. Even under the siege of numerous experts from both the Independent Immortals and Demons, he managed to escape with ease."

Kong Cao, the chief among the three Giant Demons under Yu Liang’s command, nodded, "This Skyfire Evil Lord is not someone we can afford to provoke."

"Why can’t we provoke him?" Wushan, the one with the least wisdom among the three Giant Demons, asked.

Xing Shou, one of the three Giant Demons, laughed and said, "Haven’t you thought about it? This Skyfire Evil Lord might not have strong combat power, but his ability to escape is definitely one of the best in the world. Plus, he has that unique skill of releasing Heavenly Fire. If someone provokes him and he burns down your base with a single fire, and you can’t catch him, is he someone you should provoke?"

Wushan realized, "This Skyfire Evil Lord is really not someone to provoke. You can’t catch him if you chase him, and if you anger him, he’ll set your lair on fire with heavenly fire. Well, his power isn’t that great, but he’s still someone you can’t afford to mess with."

Yu Liang nodded and said, "Initially, I wanted to rescue this Skyfire Evil Lord and have him join my ranks, but he has such a talent for escaping. I think... it’s going to be extremely difficult to capture this man."

...

You don’t necessarily need to have great attack power to instill fear in people; just possessing divine skills that others can’t handle is enough.

After the Yin Yue Palace and Qingxu Temple had their gates burned down, countless cultivators across the Tenglong Continent came to know the infamous name ’Skyfire Evil Lord’. All sects listed ’Skyfire Evil Lord’ among those they couldn’t afford to offend.

Even with Wu Kongxue, True Master Ming Liang, and others joining forces, they couldn’t catch him—who could?

With just a burst of heavenly fire, he could destroy your gates—who would dare provoke him?

As a result, the Skyfire Evil Lord became a legendary figure on the Tenglong Continent, most famous for his enigmatic escape skills and his control over heavenly fire.

The vast snowy land was filled with countless snowflakes; just beneath the snowy surface was the damp earth, and amongst the muddy sand was the ever-changing appearance of the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

Inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

In a small courtyard, Qin Yu and his brothers Hou Fei and Hei Yu were drinking, while Shi Bing, Shi Xin, Si Zhan, and the Divine Beast Mo Qilin devoured food and drink in an adjacent courtyard.

"Big Brother, you really are quite cunning, claiming to have divine skills for escaping, when in fact you are just hiding in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, haha... Nonetheless, this is still an incredible method of escape. How could the likes of True Master Ming Liang and Wu Kongxue possibly know we are here?"

Hou Fei looked quite smug.

Qin Yu, who currently showed no sign of injury at all, possessed an almost undying body due to his exceptional recovery power, which was indeed quite formidable.

"I just said a few words earlier, and it scared them into calling off the battle." Qin Yu said with a calm smile.

As the master of Qingyu Immortal Mansion, outsiders were unable to probe the interior, but Qin Yu could easily learn everything that was happening outside. The recent conversation between the Independent Immortals and Independent Demons occurred in the sky above the snowy field, and Qin Yu heard every single word clearly.

Hei Yu frowned slightly and said, "Big Brother, you mentioned you would tell Pengmo Island about the existence of Ni Yang Realm. Did you really tell them?"

Hou Fei also looked towards Qin Yu.

"Of course. It’s more interesting if Chaotic Star Sea joins in, isn’t it?" Qin Yu smiled again. "Besides, I have a rather deep relationship with the Island Masters of Pengmo Island in Chaotic Star Sea. Although Ni Yang Realm is dangerous, it also represents a tremendous opportunity. It’s better to let friends join than enemies, right?"

Eventually, the three brothers Qin Yu would also step into Ni Yang Realm.

The more friends they had entering Ni Yang Realm, the safer Qin Yu and his brothers would be.

After some lighthearted banter among the brothers, Qin Yu took out a Communication Order to send a message to Senior Zong Jue, the Island Master of Pengmo Island.

Although the Qingyu Immortal Mansion had the function to block communication, Qin Yu, as the master of the Mansion, was naturally exempt from this restriction.

...

In the Chaotic Star Sea, an endless expanse of waters, countless loose cultivators resided.

The most powerful of the three islands in Chaotic Star Sea, ’Pengmo Island’, was as tranquil as ever, with no one daring to act wildly on its shores. It wasn’t just because of the formidable strength of the three thousand Independent Cultivators that belonged to the island, nor was the presence of the Asura Double Demons the only reason. What mattered most was—

The legendary invincible Zong Jue!

The true number one in the Chaotic Star Sea!

Inside the Golden Feather Hall.

Zong Jue flipped his hand and took out a Communication Order.

"Oh, it’s actually from young friend Qin Yu. Senior Lan said that young brother Qin Yu would bring me a great opportunity, but I wonder when that opportunity will come," Zong Jue said with a light smile, starting to communicate with Qin Yu through the Communication Order. However, after just a brief exchange, the indifferent expression on Zong Jue’s face changed.

"Young brother Qin Yu, are you serious? The Ni Yang Realm, the old lair of an Eighth Level Profound Immortal Sword Immortal left by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang?" At this moment, Zong Jue was like a poor man who saw an endless mountain of gold.

Immortals are divided into Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Profound Immortal, each with nine levels.

An Eighth Level Profound Immortal was already a being that looked down upon the Immortal Realm, and this Immortal Emperor Ni Yang was even an Eighth Level Profound Immortal Sword Immortal! Such a master would be absolutely one of the top few in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds. What kind of treasure would such a person leave behind?

"Senior Zong can rest assured, I have one hundred percent certainty that it is the lair of an Eighth Level Profound Immortal Sword Immortal, and the treasures inside are terrifying," Qin Yu’s communication excited Zong Jue.

"There must be Divine Artifacts," Zong Jue said, slightly excited.

As a Super Divine Beast, the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, Zong Jue knew many secrets. The Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds were in the same space, occupying only part of that vast space. The top existences of these three realms generally all possessed Divine Artifacts.

"To enter the Ni Yang Realm, we must gather three Sky-breaking Maps. One of these maps is in the hands of the Dragon Clan, one is with the Independent Immortals, and one is with the Independent Demons. It will be somewhat difficult to obtain them," Qin Yu explained carefully.

"What, three Sky-breaking Maps?" Zong Jue frowned slightly.

Looking at the message about the Sky-breaking Map sent by Qin Yu, Zong Jue pondered for a moment. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Afterward, Zong Jue and Qin Yu discussed many details.

...

"Senior Lan was right, young brother Qin Yu really has brought me a great opportunity," Zong Jue’s eyes shone brightly as he suddenly stood up from his seat.

"It’s been many years since I’ve taken action, my hands have almost started itching," a trace of fierceness flashed in Zong Jue’s eyes.

The Golden Winged Great Peng Bird is a ferocious bird, and its ferocity is extremely fearsome. Before knowing Uncle Lan, Zong Jue also belonged to those with a murderous and domineering nature. However, after spending time with Uncle Lan, Zong Jue’s temperament had undergone great refinement and had become much more restrained.

But the innate ferocity was always merely hidden deep within.

A biting dog doesn’t bark. This normally calm Zong Jue was even more terrifying than the murderously intense Zong Jue of the past.

"Second sister, Lian Xiao, come here quickly."

Zong Jue transmitted his voice directly.

In just a short while, the Twelfth Tribulation Independent Demon Hu Yi and her husband Lian Xiao had hurried over.

"Big Brother, what’s so urgent?" asked Hu Yi with a smile. Since her Big Brother had spent some time with Senior Lan, his personality had become much more restrained, and it was rare for him to be so excited.

"A big event, a great joyous occasion, hahaha..."

Zong Jue laughed uncontrollably.

Hu Yi and Lian Xiao exchanged a glance, both becoming curious. What could possibly make their big brother so happy?

"Do you remember? The people below reported to me that many Loose Cultivators belonging to Tenglong Continent had rushed back, and the Independent Immortals and the Independent Demons there were fighting and killing each other over something called the Sky-breaking Map?" Zong Jue asked in return.

Hu Yi and Lian Xiao nodded.

"Of course we remember, but it’s just a map, what’s so extraordinary about it?" Hu Yi said with a faint smile.

Even though they knew that both the Independent Immortals and the Independent Demons were fighting over it, the Sky-breaking Map was certainly precious, but the experts from the Chaotic Star Sea, not knowing where exactly the map’s value lay, couldn’t be bothered to get involved.

"The Sky-breaking Map is related to a treasure, the lair of an Eighth Level Profound Immortal Sword Immortal Emperor." Zong Jue smiled.

"Eighth Level Profound Immortal!"

Hu Yi and Lian Xiao were almost frightened stiff.

"Big brother, did you get it wrong? An Eighth Level Golden Immortal is already incredible, but the lair of an Eighth Level Profound Immortal?" In their hearts, Hu Yi and Lian Xiao found it hard to believe.

"And this Immortal Emperor is also the most powerful in terms of attack power, an Eighth Level Profound Immortal Sword Immortal." Zong Jue couldn’t help but sigh, "Second sister, Lian Xiao. Those three Sky-breaking Maps contain the map to the Profound Immortal’s lair."

Hu Yi and Lian Xiao couldn’t help but have their eyes light up.

Although they stood at the pinnacle in the Mortal World, once they ascended to the Upper Realm, their strength would be nothing special.

If they could obtain some treasures from the Eighth Level Profound Immortal’s lair, then becoming a lord in the Upper Realm would not be so difficult in the future. No matter where, strength is the most important thing.

"Second sister, immediately notify ’Fu Yunzi’ of Liuyun Island and ’Shi Hua’ of Black Wind Island, and at the same time summon the top experts of the Chaotic Star Sea to our Pengmo Island with my order. We from the Chaotic Star Sea do not take action lightly, but once we do, we must gain something," Zong Jue’s eyes were ablaze.

"Yes, big brother," Hu Yi said, also feeling a surge of excitement.

The power of the Chaotic Star Sea, just from the Three Islands alone, was already very formidable, and there were many experts among the forces that ranked just below the Three Islands. Once gathered together, it would be a terrifying force to the extreme.

"It’s been a long time since I took action myself, many people must have almost forgotten about me..."

Zong Jue took a deep breath, his gaze shooting through the gates of the Golden Feather Hall and towards the distant horizon.

...

Zong Jue was the spiritual pillar of the Chaotic Star Sea, revered by many experts.

Following Zong Jue’s command, the top experts from the Three Islands of the Chaotic Star Sea, and those from the top ten ranked forces, one by one, converged on Pengmo Island. Who would dare to disrespect the orders of Pengmo Island’s Island Master, Zong Jue? In an unprecedented fashion, the usually chaotic Chaotic Star Sea united and gathered together because of Zong Jue’s single command.

When it comes to experts.

The forces of the Independent Immortals and Independent Demons combined from Tenglong Continent could not compare to the Chaotic Star Sea.

The vast Chaotic Star Sea, breeding countless experts, now sees them emerging one after another, led by none other than the invincible presence in the Mortal World—Zong Jue!
