Volume 1, Chapter 24: When on earth are you two going to give me a grandchild!

As decades and centuries passed, the North Nether Sword Sect evolved into a powerful force of overwhelming influence.

The first probe failed, yet it also succeeded. At the very least, it yielded some conclusions. And so, the second attempt began.

Within the Primordial Wilderness, because the continent as a whole was immensely dense and powerful, many terrestrial deities were unable to fly permanently—a rather awkward predicament. Even when long-duration flight was necessary, most relied on magical artifacts.

There seemed to be a vast chasm between the fifty-sixth and sixtieth revolutions, much like stepping from a region of weak force into one of great intensity; the boundary where they met was the dividing line between the two.

"The Five Elements Patriarch of Five Elements Mountain? And Mo Kun, the Ancestral Qilin—with both of them clashing, it is no wonder the five elemental forces across the entire Primordial Wilderness were thrown into such chaos," Xi He remarked.

However, this was merely the beginning. What followed was the true main event. With the battle banner in hand, General Old Zhong was full of confidence; he struck camp and marched directly toward Bianliang City.

As soon as Xu Chuan settled into his seat, the unicorn beast’s massive wings began to flap. Its altitude climbed steadily, and before long, it reached the highest point of the space. Xu Chuan looked up and realized it was actually a passage to the outside world.

"Young Master Jiang, your arm?" Seeing that Yun Fan had walked quite far away, Jiang Qingfeng's friends finally dared to approach, looking at his right arm with concern.

The Taiji Diagram contains an immense amount of Yin-Yang essence, or rather, the essence of the Supreme Ultimate. Once this power is unleashed, one can easily manifest the full might befitting such a supreme treasure.

Ren Yi smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Haha! Teacher Kakashi Hatake, I just wanted to ask exactly how strong the Sharingan is." As he said this, he noticed the look in Kakashi Hatake's eyes change.

Lintao and Jincheng commanderies were the critical gateways protecting the Guanzhong region. If these were lost, the entirety of Longxi Commandery would be laid bare before the Tibetan army. They could then follow the Wei River eastward, sweeping through the entire Guanzhong region and even threatening Chang'an City.

Yao Jiakuan insisted that there were mutants here, though having walked so far without seeing any, he reasoned they must have all starved to death.

If he could, Shi Yu would simply smash his shield down and bury this annoying fellow deep into the earth, never to emerge again.

For the sake of caution, Wang Yong and his men selected only two thousand soldiers in the first wave to accompany the ships to Tamna Island.

Seeing no other way, Pei Xiu steeled herself to carve out a path of blood. She lowered the faceplate she had kept raised during combat to avoid obstructing her vision. With so many enemies, this was the only way to charge through.

Ten minutes later, Mitsui Kuto appeared in the herb garden. Looking at the medicinal plants scattered in disarray, he was struck by such extreme rage that he burst into hysterical laughter.

His nerves tightened instantly. Subconsciously, he wanted to retreat dozens of meters, only to find that his trembling body refused to obey his commands.

Of course, it was also possible that, having witnessed Yun Fei's speed, they realized they could not escape and simply gave up.

Donghua Yufan had not encountered any real danger here. Occasionally, even if she did run into demonic beasts, they were below the fourth rank; the moment they sensed her aura, they would flee. How could she possibly encounter any trouble?

Faced with Xie Yang’s gossip, He Siyue picked up his phone and stood up, intending to leave, his expression so indifferent that it was impossible to guess his thoughts.

If there was anyone left in the Great Yin imperial court who still cared for Prince Zhao, it was none other than the venerable Duke Ding. Years ago, he had supported the deposed crown prince and advocated for the elevation of Prince Zhao.

At that moment, the cabin door opened, and a figure leapt from the helicopter, descending like a phantom and hitting the ground directly.

She was a fresh graduate from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Immediately upon graduation, Su Yu successfully lured her into working at Lingzhi Hall with a high salary of 2,500 and the premium benefit of having weekends off.

He wanted to wait until she fell in love with him before telling her, so that even if she wanted to escape, she would be unable to bear leaving him behind.

In the past, each time she suffered an episode, she would remain weak for a long time. Her cardiopulmonary function would suffer further damage, breathing would become difficult, and she would even be bedridden, feeling each time that her end was near.

But she had no choice. She had to endure this humiliation; it was the path she had chosen, and she had to see it through to the end. To achieve the results she desired—and for the sake of money—she had to bear it.

But I cannot deceive my own heart. If, in the future, I hold power over the court yet lack you by my side, what meaning would this life hold?

However, with Ye Qingyang there to pave the way and clear the thorns, she sailed through smoothly and rose rapidly.

Naturally, only in front of those he truly trusted would Li Yinghao show a relaxed side.

Now, for the second trial, they were to face such a mutated Lightning-Flash Colt, possessing the strength of the twenty-third rank. Among those present, only Zhuang Kui and Li Xuan had reached the twenty-second rank, still one level below the colt.

Channeling the Blue Star, a massive cross wreathed in purple lightning appeared in its hands. Below, the rhinoceros roared ferociously, driving away the invaders above, unaware that the Weak Water Palace had already planted a crystal ball upon him.

Rising early the next morning, Xu Xuanzan requested a half-day leave from Master Wang. He waited for Bai Maonu and Qingqing to finish dressing in their plain robes, and the three of them strolled toward Chengtian Temple, chatting as they went.

Zhuo Ran smiled. It had been a long time since he had been to such a place. Ever since he married Liu Lan, he hardly dared to visit such establishments again.
