Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

And while the Phoenix Sect celebrated the return of Su Han and others, elsewhere on the trillion land—

"Su Han, the Phoenix Sect Leader, has already reached the Peak Sub-Immortal level!"

"What? I heard that his true cultivation base is only at the Sixth Grade Dao Sovereign Realm?"

"Cultivation realm can’t measure him at all. For him, what’s truly representative of strength is not the cultivation realm, but comprehensive battle power!"

"Oh my, Peak Sub-Immortal level? How is that possible???"

"Yes, just in a mere ten years, he’s achieved such a degree?"

"It seems before leaving the trillion land, he was only at the Fifth Grade Unity Realm, right? Even when measured by comprehensive battle power, he only possessed the might of the Heavenly Emperor back then!"

"I absolutely do not believe that he has become this strong now. To reach Peak Sub-Immortal level, which is the level of Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void figures, how many such individuals are there in the Lower-Class Star Region? Not to mention, he only spent ten years, even with his Sixth Grade Dao Sovereign Realm cultivation base, it’s absolutely impossible to possess the battle power of the Peak Sub-Immortal level, right?"

"I don’t believe it either!"

"Yes, we all don’t believe it!"

"What do you know! Have you ever seen with your own eyes, Su Baliu strike, only wielding three swords, the first sword cut open the formation set by a billion people of ours, the second sword shattered the Immortal Artifacts of the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and Wind Bell Battle Sovereign, the third sword almost killed the Dark Sorcerer Supreme?"

"Nonsense!"

"Right, how is that possible?"

"One sword shattering two Immortal Artifacts? That’s ridiculous!"

...

Countless voices of debate divided into two factions.

One had seen Su Han take action firsthand.

One absolutely did not believe that Su Han had become so formidable.

This matter is truly astonishing, even though many have explained that Su Han indeed possesses such prowess, yet they just do not believe it!

It’s not about unwillingness to believe, but fundamentally, they just don’t believe it!

As cultivators, who doesn’t know how difficult cultivation is?

Especially when reaching those higher realms, not to mention a great layer, even a minor-grade crossing is as hard as reaching the sky.

Most people can’t reach the levels of Sub-Immortal and Heavenly Emperor Realm; they haven’t even achieved Dao Sovereign Realm and Fusion Realm.

But even so, those who are at Void Heaven Realm, Divine Sea Realm, all feel that breaking through a minor-grade is incredibly difficult, spending decades, or hundreds of years is entirely routine.

And yet, even if Su Han possessed the might of the Heavenly Emperor back then, reaching the Peak Sub-Immortal level in just ten years?

Preposterous!!!

But with time passing, such rumors intensified...

Even those who initially didn’t believe gradually grew doubtful, and finally, wholly believed.

Because, the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, on the tenth day after Su Han and others’ return, simultaneously issued an order—

"Until the sect officially consents, no one is allowed to provoke the Phoenix Sect!"

"Anyone violating this, should they be killed by the Phoenix Sect, will not be taken into account!"

This order caused many to be momentarily stunned.

Isn’t the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects constantly wanting to bring the Phoenix Sect down?

And now, with the Phoenix Sect Leader back, shouldn’t they seize this moment to annihilate them completely?

But why issue such an order?

Is it because they can’t break through the Phoenix Sect’s hidden artifact?

Or is it due to other reasons?

What other reasons could there be?

Could it be... because Su Baliu truly has reached the level of Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void?

...

Qing Emperor Sect.

Inside the grand hall.

Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor stood amidst, shrouded in mist, his visage indistinct.

Lin Jian rushed hurriedly from outside the hall, his expression troubled.

Upon entering, he immediately asked, "Father, I’ve already been waiting impatiently, you finally agreed to see me!"

Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor said nothing, only gazed at Lin Jian.

But Lin Jian spoke again, "Father, are they saying that the rumors are true? That scoundrel Su Baliu has truly grown to this degree?"

"What do you think?" Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor suddenly spoke.

Lin Jian paused, then said darkly, "I don’t believe it, I absolutely don’t believe it!"

"Both he and I are figures of a generation, though he may be a sect master, when it comes to age, we’re not that far apart!"

"I admit, his aptitude and battle power are indeed much stronger than mine, but there’s ultimately a limit; it’s absolutely impossible to be as terrifying as the rumors from the outside world suggest!"

"Ten years, from Fifth Grade Unity Realm breaking through to Sixth Grade Dao Sovereign Realm? What kind of cultivation speed is that? Furthermore, Sixth Grade Dao Sovereign Realm, possessing battle power comparable to Peak Sub-Immortal level? How is that possible? I don’t believe it!!!"

"Bang!"

Seeing Lin Jian’s somewhat contorted face, the Dark Sorcerer Supreme suddenly slammed the chair and stood up.

Coldly snorted, "In this vast world, there are many extraordinary talents, do you think what you can’t do, no one else can? The facts are right in front of you, what is there not to believe?"

𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Lin Jian froze in place, his facial expression completely solidified.

"The facts..."

He murmured, unable to believe, "Father, do you mean... the Dark Sorcerer Supreme was truly almost killed by him?"

"How the Dark Sorcerer Supreme fares is not something for you and me to discuss!"

Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor said, "I summoned you today merely to inform you, from now on, don’t take a step outside the Qing Emperor Sect’s range. If you dare provoke Nine Shadows Emperor again, not even the Dark Sorcerer Supreme can protect you!"

Lin Jian’s body shook violently: "Nine Shadows Emperor... hahaha, Nine Shadows Emperor!!!"

He laughed madly, his face twisted, full of unwillingness and envy.

Seeing him like this, Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor no longer spoke much, only sighed internally.

Even though Lin Jian is his most cherished child, he can’t deny that the gap between him and Su Han is truly too vast.

Furthermore...

In his mind, for some reason, Lin Fengjie’s face appeared again.

"Did I truly make a mistake?"

...

Divine Dao Religion.

In a huge underground cave, numerous chains formed by the power of cultivation trapped a monkey here.

The monkey grinned resentfully, full of hatred, staring at the figure not far away, anger raging.

That figure was the Wind Bell Battle Sovereign!

"You can’t blame me..."

Wind Bell Battle Sovereign turned, glanced at the monkey, and said solemnly, "Your relationship with Su Baliu destined me to use you as a bargaining chip. If the Divine Dao Religion truly reaches a point where it can’t hold on, then I can only use you to threaten Su Baliu."

"The honorable Wind Bell Battle Sovereign, even your avatars are at ordinary Sub-Immortal level, yet you fear Su Han to this extent?"

The monkey sneered, "You, become Su Han’s opponent? I tell you, you’re not worthy, nor do you have the qualifications!"
