Numerous potent auras were currently concealed, evading detection by the will of Heaven and Earth. It was evident they were all converging towards the peculiar temple of the Three-Eyed True Monarch of Miao Dao Xiansheng. The premature activation of the Qitian Temple God had indeed sent ripples throughout the land. Meanwhile, the Golden Light Prefecture faced a grim situation, with various factions vying for dominance, elevating the divine concentration within Mansion City to an even more astonishing level than Qianyuan Taoist City. An overwhelming number of formidable masters had assembled!
However, this presented no substantial issue. With a shake of his head, Li Che casually flicked his fingers, instantly liberating the individuals confined within Mo City Fengdu. "Wow—we're already here?" Xi Xi blinked in surprise.
Gazing upon the familiar cityscape, a flicker of emotion crossed Xi Xi's eyes. She pursed her lips, a radiant smile blossoming on her face. She had departed Qian Yuan for training at the tender age of seven. Now, having just passed her eighth birthday, she found herself back in Qian Yuan. Over a year had passed, during which Xi Xi had endured much, making her cherish the days spent in Qian Yuan even more profoundly.
Buzz—!!! Above the heavens, sword lights clashed and danced in a furious ballet. Brilliant sword Qi sliced through the sky. Lv Taibai, his silver hair flowing and sleeves billowing, arrived astride a beam of sword light, his eyes alight with joyous laughter. "Hahaha! My precious disciple has finally returned! I've missed you terribly!" Lv Taibai's hearty laughter resonated throughout the city.
Within Qianyuan Taoist City, many powerful cultivators instinctively stirred their Heaven and Earth Souls, extending their senses. The Daughter of Prison Lotus! Among them, numerous hidden forces within the All Gods Camp fixed their gazes, their Dao Souls fluctuating. She had actually returned to Qianyuan Taoist City?! Lv Taibai let out a cold snort, and as a storm-like sword intent swept across the city, the probing Dao Souls quickly retracted. Lv Taibai, exuding an immensely arrogant sword intent, welcomed Li Che, Xi Xi, and the others back to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
"There's no alternative; the convergence of powerful forces in Qianyuan Taoist City is immense. The city cannot afford to lose face, or these powerful factions will seize the opportunity to assert their dominance." Lv Taibai scoffed coldly. Li Che nodded in agreement, understanding that when strength is required, one must display it assertively, as a soft persimmon is always easily crushed. Xi Xi's return to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect precipitated a significant commotion. "The Young Sect Master is back!" "Hahaha—friends of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, your Emperor Xi Xi has returned!" The Qian Yuan Divine Sect buzzed with activity, and numerous disciples who had been in secluded cultivation emerged. Lv Qingxuan, Yang Yi, Chi Chengyan, Zhuo Banxiang, and other Prodigies from the Chu Long List emerged from their retreats. These Prodigies had all now broken through to the Great Grandmaster realm, each radiating vitality and fighting spirit. However, compared to Xi Xi, who had reached the zenith of the Great Grandmaster realm, ignited the Three Flowers, and was now advancing towards Martial Saint, they naturally paled in comparison.
With Xi Xi's return, Lv Taibai commenced preparations for Xi Xi's ascension to the position of Sect Master, initiating the ceremonial rites. Lv Taibai gathered his sword intent, dashed out, and dispatched signals to spies strategically placed in various Divine Sect cities, as well as in the Divine Capital. He instructed them to send out pre-arranged sword intent invitations, summoning the Masters of various Divine Sects to bear witness to the ceremony. Upon her return to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Xi Xi's state of mind seemed to undergo a profound transformation. Three Flowers danced, and Essence Qi blazed. The entire Qian Yuan Divine Sect surged with Essence Qi akin to tidal waves, causing the will of Heaven and Earth to roar and tremble! The Martial Saint bottleneck that had long impeded Xi Xi was finally shattered upon her elegant homecoming. Xi Xi did not let this golden opportunity slip away! With a single, spirit-filled strike, amidst a thunderous roar... she forcefully opened the Human Pill! An eight-year-old girl officially advanced to the Martial Saint realm!

Great Scenic Divine Capital.
Imperial Palace.
Cloud Palace.
The Emperor, adorned in a resplendent yellow robe, sat upon the dragon throne, his face a tapestry of divine and Daoist charm, his eyes gleaming with cold ruthlessness. Rumble— Temple Administration Governor Ye Pengju clenched his fists, intercepting a streak of sword light and suppressing a formidable aura. He strode into the hall, unfurling the sword light to reveal the sect succession ceremony invitation that Lv Taibai had prepared in advance. It had always been customary for Divine Sect ceremonies to extend invitations to the royal family for their participation.
Given that the Qian Yuan Divine Sect had already severed ties with the Imperial Court, their invitation to the Emperor for the ceremony was, in His Majesty's eyes, undeniably a provocation.
With a furious flick of his sleeve, the Emperor unleashed a terrifying power, obliterating Lv Taibai's sword intent into mere dust!
After its destruction, the residual sword Qi coalesced into a mocking character, forming the sound 'ha'.
A cold laugh escaped the Emperor's lips as he once again flung his sleeve fiercely, signaling Mr. Lian to depart the Cloud Palace with him.
They proceeded to the Imperial Mausoleum.
Clenching his hand, a furious Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner descended into his grasp.
Seated within, cross-legged, the Black Robed Venerable slowly opened his eyes.
The Emperor's resplendent yellow robes billowed in the wind.
"I have consented, but after the Supreme Xuanzhen eliminates the Ghost Emperor, he must lend me his assistance for a minor task."
"Annihilate! Strike down Lv Taibai and seize his head!"
"Aid me in eradicating the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!"
