“What should we do now? Do we kill those eight beasts directly?” Bai Hongtu gnashed his teeth, burning with anger.

“No, there are still three immortals who haven’t shown up yet. Qian Desolation Master proposed the competition, he must have an intention; perhaps he is just stalling for time, waiting for those three immortals to make their move. We should just watch and see what happens.”

“According to the time, the eight Desolation Masters should be setting off soon, let them give us a ride.”

The three of them concealed their aura and went to the Qian Position Desolation Master Temple.

At this moment, the prodigies from the eight desolate lands had all gathered here, set to showcase their skills in front of Nine Provinces and to win the attention of the desolation masters.

The next five days would be the busiest for the eight desolate lands, selecting the strongest practitioners to represent them in the war was a monumental task.

Practitioners displayed their divine skills, scheming against each other, resorting to cunning, secret attacks, and stepping over the bodies of their competitors to obtain the qualifications to go to battle.

Monsters and demons, Too many to guard against.

The battles beneath the stage were even more splendid than those on the stage.

They were putting the words ‘overt and covert struggles’ to the extreme.

A black dragon circled the palace, emanating the fluctuation of body integration aura. Qian Desolation Master stood at the head of the dragon and lightly gave out an order.

“The helmet has the ability to obstruct aura, everyone put on your helmets, do not let the people of Nine Provinces see our true colors.”

The prodigies of the eight desolate worlds put on their helmets, making it impossible to identify each other.

Jiang Li and his companions also put on their helmets, blending into the crowd.

“Come on, let’s go.”

The remaining seven Desolation Masters suddenly appeared, standing at the dragon’s head, and all the geniuses, with excited hearts, sat on the back of the black dragon.

The Black Dragon Territory Master is a mount exclusive to the Qian Desolation Master, and they were fortunate to be able to ride it.

With a real dragon as his mount and roaming in the universe, the Qian Desolation Master had the upper hand in the competition between the two realms.

The Gen Desolation Master and the Dui Desolation Master had already returned from the Nine Provinces, bringing with them a massive amount of intelligence. They knew almost everything there was to know about the Nine Provinces.

Apart from other things, the most important are the Human Emperor, the Earth Veins, and the immortals of the Nine Provinces.

“This legend about Jiang, the Human Emperor, is quite interesting. It is said that he is proficient in all kinds of fairy arts, supreme in the sword Dao, with a single sword, he can shatter the space and reveal the long river of time. He is unmatched in artifact refining and can refine the whole world of Nine Provinces into something to play within his palm.”

“There is even a legend that his cultivation has reached a state that is unspeakable and unimaginable. He supposedly has the ability of ‘three lives in one’ with no past life, no future life, only cultivation in this life.”

“How ignorant the cultivators of the Nine Provinces are! They are trying to elevate this Jiang, the Human Emperor, to the height of the Dao Ancestor.”

“This Jiang, the Human Emperor, also allows rumors to spread. He really doesn’t know he’s courting death. He probably doesn’t know that some things, even if they are just rumors, can offend big shots.”

“It’s a complete nonsense, such garbage intelligence reported to the Immortal Realm will only make the immortals think that we are incompetent, wasting time for nothing.”

“The most important thing is that we need to report the matter of the Earth Veins to the Immortal Realm.”

“The Earth Veins are not simple, judging from the current information, it is very likely to be the initial form of the Earth Veins mentioned by Lu Wu, the immortal.

“I don’t know which immortal is in charge of the Nine Provinces, but they are in big trouble.”

Qian Desolation Master revealed a faint smile. He knew that the one thing that the Immortal Realm dreaded most was the appearance of embryonic forms of Heavenly Dao. Whoever was in charge of the territory where the embryonic form of Heavenly Dao emerged would be doomed without a place of burial. ʀа𐌽őꞖËś

Their eight desolate lands had fantastic luck. Every just a few hundred years, an immortal ascended to the Immortal Realm, earning them quite the reputation.

Among all the immortals, the most powerful was Lu Wu, who ascended to the Immortal Realm forty thousand years ago.

After Lu Wu had ascended to the Immortal Realm, he fought all the way to become a heavyweight in the world of immortals, a well-known Golden Immortal.

Not only that, but Lu Wu was also part of the Immortal Emperor’s lineage and had profound roots.

What was even more worth talking about was that a Golden Immortal had once died by the hand of Lu Wu.

Yanluo, the Immortal Venerable, spoke some rebellious words in private, and after Lu Wu heard about it, he reported to the Immortal Emperor. Enraged, the Immortal Emperor executed Yanluo the Immortal Venerable.

Even though it was an indirect kill, it was still quite remarkable.

Six thousand years ago, Lu Wu came to the eight desolate lands and told them about the upheaval in the Immortal Realm. The ruler wanted to destroy all the myriad worlds. As someone from the lineage of the Immortal Emperor, he could save a world, and he chose to save the eight desolate lands.

But there were conditions. Lu Wu needed them to invade other worlds and identify any products that resembled the embryonic forms of the Heavenly Dao.

If there were any, they would report to him. If not, they would directly destroy the world, but they had to be careful not to create an embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, otherwise, even he would not be able to protect the eight desolate lands.

Lu Wu also said that the new ruler of the Immortal Realm was the Respected God-hidden, and as long as they worshipped the Respected God-hidden, they would receive merits.

Destroying the world and preventing the will of sentient beings from forming an embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, this task was not difficult for the eight desolate lands.

As long as they sent practitioners of the Body Integration Realm and below to invade the world, and sustained it for a month to a year, the people of that world would not form an embryonic form of Heavenly Dao due to the collective fear of death.

Coming across the Nine Provinces this time, and discovering the Earth Veins, was a pleasant surprise.

After invading more than four hundred worlds, they finally encountered one that had produced an embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, and it was the loathsome Nine Provinces.

The Nine Provinces had always been superior to the eight desolate lands, which had always been a great annoyance to them.

The eight desolate lands never cared who was on the opposite side of the world, they just bumped into them straight away. After all, they had the backing of Golden Immortal Lu Wu and the Immortal Realm, who would they fear?

Initially when they gathered their forces, preparing to invade an unknown world, they found that the opposing world was terrifyingly powerful. Eight tribulation-crossers, hundreds at the integration stage, for the first time, they found themselves at a disadvantage.

When both sides introduced themselves, they found that the other side was actually the Nine Provinces, which made them even more anxious.

Qian Desolation Master chose to first stabilize the other side, acting like an innocent victim who knew nothing, and talked with the Nine Provinces, slowly extracting information about the Nine Provinces.

We, the eight desolate lands, have collided with three worlds, and the Nine Provinces are the fourth world.

The reason?

I don’t know, maybe it’s the doing of the Immortal Realm?

Thank you for warning us to be careful of the Immortal Realm’s conspiracy. We are the conspiracy of the Immortal Realm.

What the Qian Desolation Master said about the combination of the eight desolate lands and the Nine Provinces to jointly resist the Immortal Realm was just a pretext to buy time.

He used the preparation of the competition as an excuse, delayed for five days, and successfully obtained information about the Earth Veins.

Qian Desolation Master had already reported the matter of the Nine Provinces’ Earth Veins to Lu Wu. Lu Wu must have taken some action.

Before that, they would use the competition to probe the bottom line of the Nine Provinces. The more information they got, the more attention they would get from Lu Wu.

If conditions allowed, they might be able to launch an attack in advance and subdue the Nine Provinces, wait for Lu Wu to make his move, and further gain Lu Wu’s trust.

The three elderly immortals forbade others from becoming immortals, and anyone who dared to become an immortal would be killed immediately.

The previous Qian Desolation Master had tried to become an immortal secretly but was discovered by the three elderly immortals and died a terrible death.

Perhaps he could become the fourth immortal based on the merits of this event, breaking the monopoly of the three elderly immortals and becoming the fourth immortal with the blessing of Lu Wu.

“Master, we are here.” the Black Dragon Territory Master spoke in a human language, interrupting Qian Desolation Master’s thoughts.

The Qian Desolation Master arrived above the Imperial Palace and bowed his fist in apology. “I have kept you waiting. There was something that happened before we set off, which held us up.”

Of course, the strong ones should make their entrance last, just to make the Nine Provinces wait.
