Tao Yu convinced Meng Qi to enter the Nine Netherworlds to awaken True Martial, despite looming threats from the Golden Emperor's return. Protected by the Human Dao Dynasty, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang achieved creation perfection. Meng Qi summoned the Yuxu Golden Immortals, including Guang Cheng Heavenly Venerate and others at creation level, back to Yuxu Palace and briefed them on recent events, as they reacted with surprise to the grand Human Dao Dynasty.

This truly left Meng Qi somewhat baffled.

"Have you guys met the Human Emperor?"

A fellow from his hometown turned out to be such an outsider, even rescuing Ye Heavenly Emperor. Clearly, these newly awakened Golden Immortals held some key insights.

"Yes, we have. The new Human Emperor possesses a quite unique background. We've each interacted with him to some extent."

"He even cut off one of my links to him."

At that moment, Nezha chimed in too, though merely through one of his avatars. While it carried some weight, he remained silent overall, having long transcended worldly ties.

"Ah, that pretty much clears it up for me."

Meng Qi gave a nod, grasping the situation in broad strokes.

"You've outperformed our expectations. We figured we'd return to a chaotic mess to sort out, yet you've nearly resolved the major crises. Relax and proceed as needed. As the current Sect Leader, just inform us if assistance is required."

Though Yuxu Palace carries some negative fame, its loyalty to members remains beyond doubt.

Fresh from their return, they acknowledged this junior brother who'd risen above them to claim the sect leader role.

Still, the Yuxu Sect disciples chose to offer unwavering backing.

"Many thanks. We're gearing up to rouse Emperor Zhenwu and strengthen our forces."

"Regarding Zhenwu, being a Daoist Venerable's disciple, success seems highly feasible."

Guang Chengzi had prior dealings with Zhenwu and knew his temperament well. Zhenwu might have flaws in character, yet he proved reliably worthy of aid overall.

For a Daoist Venerable disciple with such lengthy preparations, attaining the Other Shore appeared promising!

Balance now stabilized in the heavenly will, their emergence aimed to thwart potential creation-level disruptions...

"That said, we can merely shield from outer calamities; ultimate Dao-proving success rests solely on you..."

Guang Chengzi stood among those nearest to this realm, fully aware of its profound perils and challenges.

Defying time's flow, battling upstream against raging floods—the deeper you venture, the fiercer the onslaught grows. Failure means instant annihilation!

Zhenwu possesses an opportunity, yet it's only that—a slim shot...

...

With Green Emperor's Dao-proving triumph, Maitreya supplanted by Gu Xiaosang, countless gazes now locked intently on Zhenwu.

Beyond Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang, even Ruan Yushu's breakthrough anomalies drew Emperor Fengdu straight to the Life and Death Origin!

Three silhouettes plunged one after another into this Dao-adjacent realm teetering on life's edge, sharpening Meng Qi's vigilance.

Defenses were anticipated, yet they failed to halt this foe.

Emperor Fengdu's might proved utterly terrifying.

"Haha! No doubt, even if Zhenwu hides here for enlightenment, he can't endure the near Dao realm's corrosion!"

Fengdu gazed upon the Life and Death Origin ahead and burst into booming laughter. Upon entry, he sensed Zhenwu nearly merged into it, reduced to the rawest 'Dao'.

Despite Primordial Yang Ruler's safeguarding, Zhenwu appeared to melt away within, becoming a steaming broth—a supreme elixir in Fengdu's eyes!

"Su Sect Leader, you know your dire straits well; no reason for us to clash. You may even crave Nine Nether shelter someday."

Considering Meng Qi's present power, Fengdu grinned and proposed terms.

"Thus, let's divide these treasures: Primordial Yang Ruler and True Martial Essence, one apiece. You select first—fair?"

A broad smile lit Fengdu's features, certain refusal wouldn't come.

These colossal prizes sat ripe for taking; either choice spelled massive profit!

Any sharp observer would pick wisely!

Fengdu reckoned that, despite the foe's recent Creation Perfection via Ran Deng absorption, he lagged far behind.

This offer already showed ample generosity and respect.

"Paths diverge, so schemes diverge..."

Hearing Fengdu out, Meng Qi simply hoisted his Overlord’s Absolute Blade.

Emperor Zhenwu devoted his existence to quelling fiends, his feats beyond dispute. Flaws might exist, but Meng Qi refused to exploit such vulnerability.

No matter how invaluable Emperor Zhenwu’s True Martial Essence and Supreme Divine Weapon Primordial Yang Ruler were, Meng Qi unsheathed against Fengdu.

"You spurn kindness and court disaster. Fine then, I'll claim them both! Mark this: one more foe from now on!"

Fengdu never foresaw Meng Qi, burdened with woes aplenty, opting for this path.

Although reluctant for the Demon Buddha to reach perfection, such reluctance amounted to nothing more than that.

Should he lack any opportunity to prove the Dao, eventually taking shelter beneath a specific Other Shore would not prove an unthinkable choice.

Right as Fengdu’s full aura erupted, poised to clash directly with Meng Qi, all at once, drawn by that very aura, the dispersed essence of Emperor Zhenwu swiftly gathered together, while the Primordial Yang Ruler materialized without warning high above Fengdu’s head!

Both had attained Creation Perfection, but Fengdu failed to endure even one blow, crumbling straight into ashes.

"After waiting so long, you haven’t let me down..."

True Martial returned to life, slaying Fengdu with a single strike before turning an approving gaze toward Meng Qi.

"You’re outstanding. Though I prepared my own contingencies, I truly value how you came expressly to revive me. The moment I prove the Dao, rest assured I’ll shield you thoroughly."

True Martial brimmed with unwavering confidence in his declaration; if the Green Emperor could prove the Dao despite endless barriers, then he—with far deeper reserves and a sturdier foundation—was absolutely destined for success!

Once anxious over potential outside meddling, he now discovered numerous allies ready to back him, which seemed to ease that concern considerably...
