Xia Xin Yu had also cultivated and sought enlightenment here for three thousand years, though this was with the care of the Phoenix clan. Otherwise, with her qualifications and status, she would not have been able to come to this place.
She was merely an Immortal Phoenix from a branch lineage of the Phoenix clan. The Azure Dragon clan held noble status, and their allowing her into this place was also due to the favor of the former Phoenix clan leader.
These three thousand years of seeking the Dao were crucial for her. Her previous life’s attainment of the pinnacle Creation God Venerable realm, infinitely close to the highest realm of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, the Chaos Dao Venerable, was entirely dependent on the qualitative transformation during these three thousand years.
In the vast plaza, there was only that single mysterious stone monument. The stone monument was immense, spanning two eras, stretching for hundreds of millions of years, yet it remained intact, seated there, shrouded in a radiant, multicolored divine light.
Rumble!
From the colossal stone monument, waves of sound emanated, and the illusory form of an Azure Dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, manifested. It tore through the void, roaring towards the heavens. Its entire body blazed with intense light, and a single exhalation from its mouth could plunge the world into darkness.
Xia Xin Yu, observing the incredibly familiar scene, said, "Legend has it that this stone monument was transformed from the ancestor of the Azure Dragon clan, bearing the Great Dao of the Azure Dragon clan. Its age is so profound that no one can ascertain it."
"Let's go deeper. This stone monument isn't particularly important. It's too ancient and has long since lost the divine power of the Azure Dragon. Let's see if there's anything worth taking inside!" Xia Xin Yu said with disappointment as she looked at the Azure Dragon's illusory form.
The illusory Azure Dragon before her was vastly different from what she had seen in the past; there was no manifestation of Great Dao divine power, merely a dry, spectral image.
"Let's go!"
Dian Wei and the other two nodded, following Xia Xin Yu deeper into the area.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, Xia Xin Yu sensed something and halted her steps, her eyes tinged with strands of divine fire as she looked towards the left horizon.
She saw a young man traversing the void. In the blink of an eye, he entered the core area of the Azure Dragon Palace, crossed the plaza, and was heading towards their direction.
"Xia Xin Yu, I truly didn't expect you to still be alive!"
The man stopped in mid-air.
"Wang Zhuo, your methods are not weak either, to have endured until now. How did your Wang family's ancestor permit you to reincarnate? Your divine power is immense, you've been suppressing your cultivation level all along. What, you also wish to seek a sliver of hope in this sealed land?" Xia Xin Yu's expression was unreadable.
The man standing before them was quite handsome, with a hint of maturity in his eyes!
Boom!
Their gazes met, and the vast expanse of the sky shattered. Numerous dilapidated ruins that had survived until now were directly annihilated.
Within their line of sight, countless quasi-Supreme and Supreme beings instantly vanished, perishing like illusory phantoms.
With just a mere exchange of glances, their terrifying divine power washed over the area, thoroughly cleansing it. Numerous awestruck beings rapidly fled, departing from the core of the Azure Dragon Palace.
Although Dian Wei and the other two maintained calm expressions, the clash of gazes between Xia Xin Yu and the mysterious man caused them some consternation. The reincarnated heavenly prodigies were powerful; even a mere clash of divine powers surpassed the realm of Minor Heavenly Venerables.
Boom!
The void rippled violently as more than ten figures rapidly approached, stopping behind the man.
"Xia Xin Yu, you haven't disappointed me. In this era, I shall no longer be alone!"
Wang Zhuo looked at Xia Xin Yu. Although this person was not from the Phoenix clan, she was greatly favored by the Phoenix clan leader. No one knew the true relationship between Xia Xin Yu and the Phoenix clan leader; it remained a mystery in ancient times.
He and Xia Xin Yu could be considered rising stars from the late ancient period. During their most prosperous times, they encountered the War of Gods. Having endured the baptism of brutal battles, both of their previous lives were halted at the Creation God Venerable realm, unable to advance further.
"Among you three, who is a being from the Great Han Divine Dynasty?"
Wang Zhuo smiled calmly, withdrew his divine power, and looked at Dian Wei and the other two with a peaceful tone.
This information had been obtained by the Wang family from Gu Yi Zhai. Long Ju and Yang You Ji had only recently appeared and had not been active outside. Only Dian Wei was a chosen hero whom Yang Hao had put forward to represent the Great Han Divine Dynasty in the sealed land.
During the Blood Sea Hanging Coffins incident, the Wang family owed the Great Han Divine Dynasty a favor, especially Jian Lan of the Jian family and Wang Fu of the Wang family. If not for the emergence of Li Yuanba, the two of them might have perished in the Blood Sea Hanging Coffins.
"This general hails from the Great Han Divine Dynasty."
Dian Wei stepped forward, stating in a deep voice.
"You?"
"Dian Wei of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, you are very strong. After the ancient era ended, to this present age, I truly didn't expect that humanity could still produce such a formidable hero. You are outstanding."
Wang Zhuo spoke. The Wang family had no enmity with the Great Han Divine Dynasty and was even indebted to them. Furthermore, his purpose in coming to the sealed land was partly to intercept the four major families of the Hong family, and partly to investigate the remnants of the Immortal Lord's activities.
"The two humans behind you are also extraordinary. What, are they also beings from your Great Han Divine Dynasty?"
Wang Zhuo's gaze moved past Dian Wei. He saw that Long Ju and Yang You Ji were enveloped in surging blood energy, indicating they were indeed human heroes.
"They are following me!"
Xia Xin Yu said calmly.
As the atmosphere gradually calmed, although some beings had left, more and more beings were breaking into the ruins of the Azure Dragon Palace.
When they reached within a thousand feet of the area, they all stopped, daring not to approach.
The Wang family!
One of the eight great families of the Central Continent!
That divine power aura, there was only the Wang family in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces with such a presence!
The Longevity Scripture!
"What beings are standing opposite the Wang family? They are actually standing against the Wang family, not at a disadvantage at all! Look at the man leading the Wang family, he is actually conversing with those beings in such a calm manner!"
Countless beings whispered amongst themselves. Suddenly, one being exclaimed, "Could they be beings from the Human Realm? In the Human Realm, there are only the Northern Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, the Human Realm, and the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty!"
"To be able to converse as equals with the Wang family, the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty and the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty are not qualified. I suspect they are beings from the Human Realm; they are the direct bloodline of the Immortal Lord."
"Xia Xin Yu, this chaotic era is about to arrive, are you prepared? The Hong family, the Jiang Zuo aristocratic family, the Hun family, and the Chu family have all paid a tremendous price, hoping to unseal the primordial spirit of Candle Dragon."
Wang Zhuo said indifferently.
"Aren't your four great families also paying a hefty price? Whether the chaotic era begins depends on how your eight great families act. Whether it is Candle Dragon or you all, what does it have to do with me? With the Tree of Heaven fallen, our chances are slim!"
Xia Xin Yu said coldly.
"Hum~~"
Suddenly, a red light flashed in Wang Zhuo's hand. His expression changed instantly: "There's a change! Xia Xin Yu, we shall meet again!"
"Go!"
Wang Zhuo, with the disciples of the Wang family, instantly sped south at extreme speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Wang Zhuo! A heavenly prodigy from the previous era, a Creation God Venerable powerhouse, whose foundation was damaged in the War of Gods!"
