Chapter 269: Chapter 176 The Ancestor Takes Another Wife and Concubine! The Dragon Maiden Reappears, the Secret Territory Emerges!_3

“Huff~”

Exhaling a breath, Long Yue once again sat cross-legged and continued her cultivation, intending not to emerge until she reached the seventh heaven of the True Martial Realm.

By then, she would possess the combat ability of a Martial Emperor in the Divine Yuan Realm, and in these latter days, she would be considered to have the power to protect herself.

At that time, she could conclude her previous strategies in the Xuan Domain and obtain the things she desired.

Demon Domain, Myriad Demon Mountain.

Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing arrived at a forbidden land, which was protected by numerous powerful formations, capable of executing even Divine Yuan Realm powerhouses should they attempt to force their way in.

At the center of the forbidden land, there was an immensely large wheel radiating divine light, inscribed with countless runes. The indistinct aura of power made Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing’s heart tremble incessantly.

This was the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel, a godly artifact of imperial significance, possessing the might to destroy heaven and earth.

After the great catastrophe of ancient times, when the spiritual energy of Qianyuan Divine Province severely waned, there were no longer any Saints, Great Emperors, or even Heavenly Immortals above the Tongxuan Realm. Each Sacred Land was heavily damaged.

The Myriad Demon Mountain, a Sacred Land of the Demon Clan, was no different; despite possessing divine weapons, they were unable to utilize them. Even a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse couldn’t unleash a trace of the divine weapons’ might; their True Yuan would be entirely drained in an instant.

Thus, they sought an alternative, sealing the divine weapons and centering several Emperor Weapons to guard the Demon Domain and deter the Human Clan.

The might of Emperor Weapons was also immensely powerful, yet a Tongxuan Realm powerhouse could activate them, unleashing a thread of their power. If the situation were dire, the Emperor Weapons could even autonomously revive, attacking heaven and earth, shattering the cosmos, and annihilating everything.

Gazing at the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel, Xue Yueqing sighed in her heart. Even with the Emperor Weapon before her, she was incapable of attaining it.

With her strength, she couldn’t even excite a sliver of the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel’s power; only with its recognition and assistance could she unleash the Emperor Weapon’s might.

Regrettably, the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel did not acknowledge her, and so Xue Yueqing could only look on at the Emperor Weapon within her reach, yearning yet unattainable.

While Xue Yueqing was deep in thought, a thread of dao light emerged from the core of the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel and entered her sea of consciousness.

Xue Yueqing received the urgent message and immediately altered her expression, hastily departing from the forbidden land.

Her initial reason for coming here was to seek the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel’s assistance in divining fate to see if Bai Keqing would encounter troubles upon her return to the Demon Domain after escaping from the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm, in order to strategize accordingly.

But now, she had received another piece of intelligence from the Heavenly Demon Dao Wheel, one that held far greater importance than the matter of Bai Keqing, the female Demon King. It was of utmost urgency, and she needed to discuss it with the other Demon Emperors.

Dao Sect, Bai Yujing, Breeze Pavilion.

The refined and amiable Second Grandmaster, carrying the weight of mountains and rivers, overlooked the peaceful and harmonious Dao Domain. A faint smile always adorned his face, as if nothing could disturb his composure.

At that moment, the plain-looking Third Grandmaster barged in and said to the Second Grandmaster, “Old Second, something big is about to happen in the Xuan Domain. Shouldn’t we take care of it?”

The Second Grandmaster turned around, regarding the agitated Third Grandmaster with helplessness, “Old Third, why are you still so impetuous?”

“I’m just itching for some action, wanting to go out for a bit,” the Third Grandmaster chuckled.

Peace had reigned over Qianyuan Divine Province for far too long. The previous affairs of the Daqian Empire were mere trifles, whereas the emergence of the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm bore significant karmic consequences which the Third Grandmaster had no wish to entangle with.

However, the forthcoming event in the Xuan Domain was indeed within the purview of their Dao Sect’s interference, as it would attract the attention of the entire Qianyuan Divine Province. Naturally, the Third Grandmaster did not want to miss it.

“Did you ask our eldest brother?” sighed the Second Grandmaster and asked.

Their third junior brother possessed awe-inspiring combat ability, renowned for being unbeaten in three thousand years, and indeed that was the truth.

Since his debut, he had been involved in endless slaughter, challenging the heroes of Divine Province and causing numerous tumults, accruing much bloodshed.

It was only in the past millennium or so that the Third Grandmaster had turned to cultivating his nature, staying in Breeze Pavilion to focus on cultivation, not causing trouble in the outside world.

“Senior Brother is still in seclusion, I dare not disturb him,” Third Grandmaster said with a smile.

Second Grandmaster nodded slightly and paused before saying, “There are still a few years left, will you go then?”

Third Grandmaster shook his head and replied, “I plan to leave now. It’s been a long time since I walked in the outside world. I will first go to the East Sea to discuss the Dao with that old Daoist, and then return to Divine Province to deal with the matters of the Xuan Domain.”

“That’s fine,” Second Grandmaster agreed.

It was good for Third Junior Brother to go out and walk around. He had been stuck at his current realm for many years, unable to break through. Perhaps this trip could bring him an opportunity.

“Remember, if you cannot decide on something, you can consult Breeze; if Breeze is silent, then follow your own heart,”

Second Grandmaster cautioned once again before Third Grandmaster’s departure.

“Old Second, you’ve already said this 10,896 times. I’ve memorized it so well that it’s ingrained in my mind; you don’t need to repeat it every time.”

Third Grandmaster made a quip and then disappeared from Breeze Pavilion.

Second Grandmaster shook his head gently, glanced at the Xuan Domain once, and closed his eyes again to comprehend the boundless universe.

In the Xuan Domain, the Daqian Empire, on Chengsheng Mountain,

Han Li stood at the summit of Chengdao Peak, next to him was Lu Tianxiang in her fluttering red dress. The two stood there like a couple of Heavenly Immortals, eliciting envy from others.

“Husband, is the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm about to emerge?” Lu Tianxiang snuggled into Han Li’s embrace and asked softly.

“Don’t worry, with me here, they wouldn’t dare to cause any trouble,” Han Li said with a smile.

He knew what Lu Tianxiang was worried about. Once the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm emerged, those trapped True Martial Realm Emperor Wu within the secret territory would be freed, and they might cause trouble for the Daqian Empire.

As the public figurehead of the Daqian Empire, all of this was up to him to shoulder, and the Sect Hierarch was concerned for his safety.

But his power was unlike before, having skyrocketed manyfold. If those True Martial Realm Emperor Wu truly dared to cause chaos, they wouldn’t be enough for him to kill with one hand.

Lu Tianxiang nodded lightly. Since her husband said so, she believed he must be very confident. She understood Han Li and trusted him as well.

“Wait for me at home, my dear, I’ll capture a True Martial Realm sister for you,” Han Li said, as he gently captured Lu Tianxiang’s beautiful red lips with a tranquil smile on his face.

“Capture a True Martial Realm?” Lu Tianxiang’s pupils constricted as she felt anew the might of her husband’s strength.

Without immense confidence, Han Li would surely not dare to speak so boldly.

“Then I’ll be looking forward to it,” Lu Tianxiang said with a smile that shone like the stars.

After kissing Lu Tianxiang’s forehead again, Han Li’s figure vanished. Watching this scene, Lu Tianxiang was pondering who the female True Martial Realm cultivator Han Li intended to capture could be.

To her knowledge, there seemed to be only one True Martial Realm female cultivator in the Xuan Domain, and what’s more, she had a husband who was also at the True Martial Realm.

Elsewhere, Han Li’s figure appeared in Qingzhou.

He did not go directly to Yingyuan Mountain in Leizhou as that would be too conspicuous. Instead, Qingzhou was just right.

The two Demon Clan Grandmasters from Qingzhou had not left yet and were waiting for the Demon King to come out. Han Li was high in the sky, concealing his presence, quietly waiting.

An hour later, a huge noise erupted from the sky above Yingyuan Mountain, and rich spiritual energy gushed forth.

The Sacred Dragon Secret Realm had emerged!
