He has a point.
When the time came, the two of them could each take half, sidelining him. That was a real possibility.
However, Lu Hua had already made up his mind.
He had subtly mentioned to Chang Feng earlier that once he lost his support, Chang Feng wouldn’t stand a chance against Qingniu.
As for Qingniu, although he controlled half, what he wanted was the complete Elders’ Palace. In the future, Zhen Ling would elevate them to high positions, and the allure of the Elders’ Palace was too great.
To defeat them, Lu Hua and Chang Feng had to join forces.
The only way for Lu Hua to win was to win him over.
As for Chang Feng, he couldn’t be won over, and there was no way to win him over.
“Brother Qingniu, everything is for the Elders’ Palace, and it won’t affect me personally! ”
Hearing this, Qingniu compromised.
Next, they both announced that the Elders’ Palace would have three palace masters, with no distinction between them.
Qingniu, Chang Feng, and Lu Hua would jointly govern the Elders! Palace.
The cheers inside the palace sharply contrasted with the Emperors outside.
The Emperors from the original universe had been stranded on an island since arriving at the Elders! Palace.
Now that the internal situation was stable, Wu Zuo personally arranged for these individuals.
Of the over 10,000 Emperors, except for a few tier 3 and 4 Emperors sent to the G.o.d’s Tomb, the rest were scattered among the Elders’ Palace’s strongholds, overseeing various large regions in the Northern Region.
Selected as the Emperor, Jian Wushuang went to the Grave G.o.d Mountain, which was within the G.o.d’s Tomb Secret Realm.
These individuals were worth nurturing.
Among them were Zhen Wuyang and Tongtian Buddha, as well as some third-tier Emperors like Wuliang Buddha.
Naturally, the leaders of various peak powers also went together.
Accompanying these people were also those Ultimate Dao Lords.
As these individuals headed to the Tomb G.o.d Mountain, the trial in the
Primitive Realm also reached its final stage.
In the Original Realm.
Jia Jiuyuan, North City.
Now, only Hu Qing remained on the city wall.
The only intact city wall now belonged to Hu Qing and Wan Xing.
Wan Xing broke through once again, thoroughly stabilizing the myriad origin sources Dao, and his strength soared once more.
Meanwhile, Hu Qing underwent a transformation.
In the cycle of reincarnation supreme technique, with each ascent of the origin source, there was a corresponding cycle.
Now, Hu Qing was no longer as simple as being comparable to an Emperor.
Jian Wushuangs disappearance didn’t attract much attention, but Hu Qing, who was most familiar with Jian Wushuang in the entire Original Realm, naturally took it to heart.
Learning from Qiuhuang that Jian Wushuang might have fallen, a mix of emotions overwhelmed him.
“Brother Wushuang!
Watching the approaching black mist outside the city wall, Huiqings aura remained unwavering. Stepping forward, he muttered to the sky, “The road you can’t finish, I’ll walk for you!’
Boom!
The words had just fallen when the Demon-Sealing Circle above erupted suddenly.
A silver staff, sweeping across the battlefield, laid waste to everything in its path.
The black mist finally condensed into a towering Demon Lord, with nine stars s.h.i.+ning on its forehead.
This was a Devouring Demon comparable to a tier 2 Emperor.
However, Hu Qings unleashed power was no weaker than the opponent’s. The long staff exuded an overwhelming aura, and his momentum was unstoppable in the cycle of reincarnation.
On another city wall, a dazzling light burst forth, and the strength of the myriad stars fell slightly short. Although engaged in a fierce exchange with the demon, the breath of the opponent weakened.
But this Original Planet had already exceeded the budget of the Vermilion Bird Temple.
It should be noted that many partic.i.p.ants on the Original Planets were already beginning to withdraw.
Because no one had reached the final wave.
The first nine waves were considered screening.
The subsequent ten rounds were the real tempering, allowing the challenger to continuously break through.
Every single wave of the trial gave the trial-takers a clear boost in power. After clearing the first three waves, Dao Lords would have the battle prowess of half- step Emperors.
By the sixth wave, they could rival an Emperor, and by the seventh wave, they needed the strength to kill an Emperor.
The eighth wave involved battling three Devouring Demon Lords at the Emperor level.
The last wave was a formidable second-tier emperor, tasking a Grand Yan Immortal with the mission to slay a tier 2 Emperor.
Moreover, these tier 2 Emperors were not ordinary; they were much stronger than the indigenous emperors of the Four Great Secret Realms, already considered top-notch tier 2 Emperors.
Moreover, these Tier 2 Imperial Emperors were not ordinary. They were much stronger than the native Imperial Emperors of the four secret lands. They could already be considered top-tier Tier 2 Imperial Emperors.
In the Original Realm, 180 Original Planets were in migration, with half of them on the move.
Each Original Planet was chosen by only 100 individuals, all of whom were Dao Lords.
The remaining half was undergoing trials, and these Original Planets were even more formidable.
Among them was Dao Lord Jiuyan, who had some acquaintance with Jian Wushuang. At this moment, he was also undergoing trials, and like Wan Xing, he exchanged for imitation Eternal Treasures.
Their strengths were elevated.
Even though the Ultimate Dao Lord had been defeated, he persisted.
In the Vermilion Bird Temple, a rare appearance outside the Original Planets, Zhu Yi personally guarded it.
Many Original Planets were moved to the treasure vault. Despite the apparent silence above, it housed genuine Eternal Treasures.
An Original Planet was more precious than an Eternal Treasure.
Looking at the things above, you could tell, like the feather on Original Planet Alpha Nine, it was the spoils of war from that Original Planet.
The owner of that feather was an extraordinary being, a Special Life Form. The divine body had reached the true limit, and the body expanded to the size of a world.
In the end, it fell beneath the Original Planet.
In reality, there were 3,600 Original Planets, forming the core of a great formation.
Each one was more precious than an Eternal Treasure. How powerful was the great formation composed of 3,600 Original Planets?
Unimaginable!
In any case, even that powerful special life form fell here.
“Temple Master, a message from Lord Wu Zuo. He said he’s taking the Emperor to the Grave G.o.d Mountain. Should we wait for him and go together?” Zhu Qi cautiously conveyed the message.
When Shan Jun was about to be imprisoned, she had also gone to beg for mercy. However, this time, it was an order from Zhen Ling. Zhu Yi had no choice but to wait and bring it up later.
Now that Shan Jun had just entered, it would be difficult if Zhu Qi went to plead on behalf of Zhu Qi. Given Zhen Lings personality, Shan Jun should have just bowed down, and everything would be fine. Now, the Four Great Secret Realms were in a flouris.h.i.+ng state.
If she were to plead for mercy now, Zhen Ling would definitely kill her.
In the previous encounter, he took away a demonic mountain, and taking advantage of the situation, he sent Shan Jun to the second prison. All of this was probably a scheme orchestrated by Zhen Ling, waiting for her to plead, only to seize the opportunity to retaliate.
This explains why she generously bestowed numerous benefits upon the Elder Palace, all done to show Zhen Ling that she was playing along.
Zhu Yi suddenly felt a headache and waved her hand, saying, “Tell Wu Zuo there’s no need to wait; let the Emperor enter first!”
“Yes!” Zhu Qi respectfully replied and disappeared from sight.
Inside the Vermilion Bird Temple now sat over ten thousand people, each of them at the level of Dao Lord. About half of them had yet to emerge, making a total of roughly 20,000.
Among them, there were over two hundred ultimate existences, almost one in a hundred being a pract.i.tioner of the Ultimate Dao.
This was roughly in line with the previous estimate. It wouldn’t be wise to only recruit Ultimate existences; that would be too wasteful.
After sending off these individuals, the Black Tortoise Temple would send hundreds of millions of cultivators. The number of Yan Immortals far exceeded that of Grand Yan Immortals.
After screening at the Black Tortoise Temple and helping them break through, they would be sent to the Vermilion Bird Temple. After screening there, they would be sent to the Four Great Secret Realms of the White Tiger Temple..
