"Venerable Envoy Feng is being a bit too overbearing, isn't he? Since ancient times, treasures belong to those with virtue. This secret realm was discovered by all of us together. Why should it belong to the Imperial Court just because you say so?"

The white-bearded old man was somewhat dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

If it were during the previous times of chaos, he could have suppressed this kid with a wave of his hand. But now that the world has been initially stabilized and Prince Yan's divine might covers the land, he didn't dare to be the first bird to be shot.

"Indeed, Elder Yang speaks with reason. Why should this secret realm be handed over to your Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Envoy Feng is completely disregarding us. Heh heh..."

"Hmph!"

Several Dan Realm Grandmasters all expressed their dissatisfaction at this moment, showing a sense of shared grievance.

Envoy Feng frowned slightly and said directly:

"It seems you all have some opinions about the Imperial Court."

"Envoy Yang, don't try to use the Imperial Court to pressure this old man. This place is not a secret realm left behind by the Imperial Court. Cultivation is difficult for us martial artists. Are we supposed to abandon our own path for the sake of the Imperial Court?"

"Let's not argue about this for now. If we delay any longer, others might be attracted. In my opinion, after the secret realm is opened, what we get will depend entirely on our own abilities.

If one's abilities are lacking, they can't blame others."

Someone said calmly.

"This old man agrees."

"Then..."

Before Envoy Feng could finish speaking, suddenly, the sky changed color, the heaven and earth's Yuan Qi changed, gradually becoming violent and condensing into a Yuan Qi vortex.

In the peaceful void, a portal opened on its own.

The many Dan Realm Grandmasters present were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes narrowed slightly. They didn't expect the secret realm to open on its own. If that was the case, what were they waiting for?

They had to seize it!

However, just as they were about to act, a vast pressure enveloped the world, and all the airborne Dan Realm Grandmasters instantly felt a mountain pressing down on their shoulders.

Their expressions changed drastically, and they fell from the void one by one, unable to fly.

The previously confident white-bearded old man no longer had the calm expression he had before, but instead wore a look of horror. Just the pressure alone was enough to keep several Dan Realm Grandmasters from raising their heads.

Even a Transformation Yang Realm True Person couldn't do that!

Could it be a True Monarch?

Damn it.

How could there be a Yang God True Monarch in a small Xu Yang Prefecture?

A black robe embroidered with pythons appeared outside the portal. Everyone looked up and their hearts shook, because that person was shrouded in an invisible Dao rhyme.

They couldn't see his face at all.

"Are you the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Deputy Envoy of Bing Province?" Chen Yuan's silent gaze swept across the crowd and finally settled on a middle-aged man wearing an official robe.

"This subordinate is Feng Buting. May I ask who you are, Senior?" Feng Buting's eyes were filled with awe.

"This official is the Grand Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang He."

Chen Yuan said indifferently.

"This humble subordinate greets the Grand Commander!"

Feng Buting immediately bowed.

The surrounding people also had their pupils shrink, and the fear in their eyes deepened.

Who was Jiang He?

He was a powerhouse in the top ten of the Heaven Roll, had a deep friendship with Prince Yan, and was now ordered to be in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Even if immortals appeared in the world today, he would still be one of the few existences.

All of them together wouldn't be able to withstand a single sword strike from him.

No wonder just the pressure alone was so terrifying!

Sword God, how could he not be terrifying?

"Guard this place and report it to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Hand over the contents inside to the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

Feng Buting immediately straightened his chest, looking at the surrounding eyes that dared not look directly at him, and the corners of his mouth rose in a smile.

"Mm..."

Chen Yuan nodded. The next moment, he tore through the void and left directly.

The reason for using Jiang He's identity was naturally because Chen Yuan didn't want to reveal his identity. In everyone's eyes, he should still be in seclusion in the capital.

"Farewell, Grand Commander!"

Feng Buting said loudly.

After speaking, he raised his head, looked at the surrounding martial artists, and said softly:

"The Grand Commander has ordered this envoy to guard the secret realm. Does anyone have any objections?"

......

......

Divine Capital City.

Chen Yuan was unaware of the alliance between the Buddhist Sect and the grassland tribes. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. He, in the mid-stage of Human Immortal Realm, was enough to rival a powerhouse in the mid-stage of Earth Immortal Realm.

Even if the two joined forces, he wouldn't be afraid.

After all, his combat strength had always been strong, and he really wanted to try fighting two at once.

In just half a day, Chen Yuan returned to Divine Capital City and met Su Ziyue in the palace. At this time, she was reviewing memorials with a solemn expression.

"Are you alright recently?"

Chen Yuan slowly materialized.

"I'm alright."

Su Ziyue was already used to Chen Yuan's unpredictable appearances. She put down the brush in her hand and continued softly:

"These are memorials that Pingyang couldn't handle well. They are about the situation in the thirteen provinces of the Central Plains."

"Mm, continue."

Chen Yuan didn't want to handle it, but that didn't mean he was really a hands-off shopkeeper. He still needed to understand the things he should.

"There's nothing happening in South Province. The demon race has been quiet since the last war. Recently, they may be caught up in something and are not a threat for the time being.

In the East Sea, Martial Emperor City has already handed over its authority to the Imperial Court. Ye Xiangnan is a smart man. He knows you want real power in your hands."

Chen Yuan shook his head:

"What Ye Xiangnan seeks is to become an immortal. Now that the Immortal Domain is facing a great enemy, he knows what's important. Moreover, he probably wants more, so he's being so cooperative.

Accept whatever he gives up."

"That's what I thought too." Su Ziyue smiled.

"Continue."

"There have been some unusual movements in the Northern Barbarians recently. The three royal courts show signs of uniting. It seems they have no choice but to seek survival under the pressure from the Central Plains."

"The Northern Barbarians invaded twice before. This hatred can't be resolved. Let them prepare. Once we've dealt with the Buddhist Sect, we'll immediately send troops to the north to wipe out the grassland royal courts."

A flash of cold light appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"In Lan Province, the Buddhist Sect has completely withdrawn. Dongfang Sheng came to the capital a few days ago, wanting to meet you. He probably wants to emulate Ye Xiangnan and hand over his authority as well."

"Mm..."

"Oh right, speaking of Dongfang Sheng, Senior Moro also came by yesterday, wanting to see you. However, he didn't say what it was about." Su Ziyue said quickly.

She had dealt with too many things today and almost forgot about it.

"Then I'll go see Senior Moro. Leave these matters to the people below. Just focus on overall planning and don't delay your cultivation because of it." Chen Yuan instructed.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Su Ziyue smiled, hooking a strand of long hair behind her ear, showing great charm.

"Heh heh..."

Chen Yuan smiled without saying anything.

......

"When did Senior leave seclusion?" Inside the secret realm of the palace, Chen Yuan asked Moro, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon cultivating, feeling that something might have happened.

Otherwise, with Moro's injuries, he would need some more time to recover.

"Something happened."

Moro's expression was somewhat solemn.

"The Western Regions?"

"That's right. This old monk has received news that Bodhisattva Jishi's identity has been discovered by Mount Lingshan. He has been seriously injured and trapped in a secret realm of void.

His current situation is unknown, and he hasn't sent any messages. This old monk suspects... that Bodhisattva Jishi is being suppressed by the Buddha on the surface, but in reality."

This was the main reason why he anxiously left seclusion.

The reason why he didn't rush to contact Chen Yuan was because Su Ziyue said that Chen Yuan had gone out on business. He thought of many things before and knew that he couldn't disturb Chen Yuan at this time.

So he waited all along.

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly chuckled:

"It seems that Mount Lingshan couldn't hold back and deliberately set up this trap to lure this King over."

This wasn't even a conspiracy, but a scheme in broad daylight.

They were betting that he, Chen Yuan, would go.

"Yes, this old monk is also worried about this. Buddha knows your strength is extraordinary, but he still set up this trap. There must be some problems. It could be a killing trap."

"Killing trap... It's not certain whose killing trap it is. Since they've made their move, then we'll take it. It's a good opportunity to settle old and new scores together and completely destroy Mount Lingshan.

And rescue Senior's physical body as well."

Chen Yuan was already preparing to act to seize destiny and opportunities. Since the other party made the first move, it was just right to put them together.

"Buddha may have other backup plans. Don't be careless." Moro had a solemn look on his face. He had dealt with Buddha the most and knew that he wasn't that simple.

"Senior, the present is different from the past." Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

In the past, Chen Yuan's cultivation was weak and his strength was low. He had no choice but to find ways to break the situation, win over strongmen, and act together to ensure his own safety.

But now, the Immortal Domain was sealed, and the current limit of the mortal world was the Earth Immortal.

He might be a bit off to say that he was invincible in the world, but there was absolutely no problem in walking sideways. With the strongest Immortal Weapon in hand and the martial arts rules united, he was enough to fight Buddha.

Even if there were foreign reinforcements, he was confident that he could retreat safely.

In other words, now... the offense and defense had changed!

This could be seen from the Buddhist Sect's actions. In the past, Buddha wouldn't use such clumsy tricks. He would come in person and give them a huge sense of oppression.

But now, they could only use some underhanded methods to force them to go over.

"Heh heh... That's right. If that's the case, then this old monk will accompany you on a trip. The sky in the Western Regions... should also change." Moro took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"However, the necessary preparations still need to be made. Forget about Ancestor Su Ming and the two from Martial Emperor City, but also invite Old Celestial Master of Wudang Mountain to move and settle the grudges from Purple Gold Mountain back then."

"As for the others, call Jiang He, Fellow Daoist Yang, Fellow Daoist Li..."

Su Ziyue was guarding the capital, and Chu Changfeng was guarding Zhennanguan. They couldn't move now, but their actions could be considered a different kind of appearance of the Dao Divine Palace, and also to settle some of Moro's grudges.

"Good!"

......

After saying goodbye to Moro, they agreed to set off tomorrow, and Chen Yuan went to see Dongfang Sheng. Compared to before, Dongfang Sheng was much more humble.

In his words, he completely regarded himself as Chen Yuan's subordinate.

Obviously, Ancestor Su Ming had warned him how terrifying Chen Yuan's strength was now, even if he wasn't as good as the former Chu Taizu, he wasn't far off.

As for the Heavenly Demon Hall, it was nothing in his eyes now.

Chen Yuan knew what Dongfang Sheng was worried about and comforted him, telling him that the Heavenly Demon Hall could now go to Dongying in batches to cleanse those Japanese dwarfs.

His promises were always trustworthy.

A sincere expression of his attitude completely put Dongfang Sheng at ease, saying that from now on, the Heavenly Demon Hall would be loyal to Prince Yan, and would not dare to disobey any orders.

Ending the conversation, Chen Yuan went to see Jiang He again, telling him that he was preparing to attack Mount Lingshan. Jiang He naturally agreed with pleasure, saying that he could repay Senior Moro's kindness.

They had all watched Moro grow up and received so much guidance from him, which had saved them many detours. Before Chen Yuan joined the Dao Divine Palace, he was Moro's most valued junior.

Like a teacher.

He knew where Moro's knot was. Although his cultivation and strength were not enough to fight Buddha, he could still contribute.

Chen Yuan also gave the Heaven and Earth Spirit Tablet to Jiang He for comprehension. This thing was useless to him now, but for Jiang He, it was definitely still a treasure that could greatly shorten his cultivation time.

Chen Yuan also hoped that Jiang He could break through the sixth realm as soon as possible, so that he could have a helper when he attacked the Immortal Domain in the future.

At the same time, Chen Yuan also informed Yang Huatian and Li Suqing of this matter through the Book of Heaven. They were both Yang God True Monarchs now and had the strength to participate in the war.

Finally, Chen Yuan returned to the palace and had a lingering moment with Su Ziyue, letting her taste the sweetness of the tea. Su Ziyue held the spout of the pot and sucked it in large gulps.

Rolling her eyes, she said that Chen Yuan was ruining her, and if her cultivation was strong enough, she would definitely let Chen Yuan taste the dumplings.

Chen Yuan smiled and said.

What could dumplings taste like?

Only bitter and astringent.

Actually, it wasn't that Chen Yuan did it deliberately. Although there were some other mindsets, it was essentially for Su Ziyue's benefit. He was an existence who had become a saint in his body, and a drop of blood was a great opportunity for ordinary people.

As the saying goes, a drop of "jing" is worth ten drops of blood. The power contained within is actually very vast, which can strengthen the body and even have some wonderful effects on the primordial spirit.

Devouring and refining it would definitely be beneficial to cultivation.

After drinking the thick white tea, Su Ziyue cleaned up her makeup and whispered to Chen Yuan when she could experience a "double non" feeling, she wanted to see it.

She always felt it was very novel.

Making Chen Yuan speechless, how could Su Ziyue be the main character?

He told Su Ziyue that this matter could be discussed later and there was no hurry.

This matter should be done gradually, soliciting Pingyang's opinion and seducing her.

Su Ziyue could only be anxious. If she were to persuade Pingyang, there was no need to think about it, with Princess Pingyang's personality, she would definitely not agree to such a thing.

Hoping that Chen Yuan would complete the achievement soon.

......

At this time, somewhere in the Western Regions.

After Buddha reached an agreement with Huangji, he returned to the Western Regions and to the place where Bodhisattva Jishi was trapped. The few remaining Bodhisattvas of Mount Lingshan were gathered here.

Ready for battle, just waiting for Chen Yuan to come.

As for who was the ultimate winner, it was still unknown. But what could be done, Buddha believed that he had already done it. If he was still not Chen Yuan's opponent.

Then it could only be that the heavens did not favor Mount Lingshan and the Buddhist Sect.
