Chapter 203: Emperor Heaven Universe, First Sequence
"Boom!"
Amid the earth-shattering explosion that resonated throughout the city, a huge rift tore through the highest hall of Tianqing City, sending fragments of rock flying like bullets. A figure, in a sorry state, escaped from within, cursing as he fled:
"Damn Suopo, calling for reinforcements because you can't win alone? Pah, just you wait!"
Jiang Tunhai had never expected that the two seemingly antagonistic crazy women would suddenly join forces.
Especially Suopo, hailing from the Heavenly God Clan and always prideful, unexpectedly showed a submissive stance before another tall woman!
Truly inconceivable!
Inside the hall.
"Shouldn't we chase him?" Suopo asked.
"No need," Chi Ji responded with a faint smile, "It seems you know how to pick sides well, just like your ancestors."
Suopo gazed at her deeply, then knelt on one knee and lowered her eyes, saying, "Our clan has always been the devout followers of the revered."
Throughout Yanfu State, many viewed the Heavenly God Clan as supremely arrogant, comparing themselves to "Heavenly Gods," not realizing that originally this term did not refer to themselves, but to the deity they worshipped.
Chi Ji half-smiled, "Are you so quickly certain of who I am?"
Suopo spoke softly, "The call of the bloodline does not deceive."
Chi Ji walked slowly to the huge opening Jiang Tunhai had created, looking down upon Tianqing City, her expression indifferent.
She didn't care whether Suopo's allegiance was genuine or feigned; obedience was all she required.
"Mobilize your people to find someone named Ji Jingqiu. Locate him and inform me; I will personally take action."
"Also, if anyone claims to be a Martial Artist from the Yanhuang Federation, capture them and bring them before me."
"Ji Jingqiu?" Suopo suddenly said, "Just before the Ancient Road was to open, a person named Ji Jingqiu emerged from Nine Palaces in Yanfu State as a Taboo Sequence."
"Oh?" Chi Ji narrowed her eyes slightly, "Worthy of the World Venerable Lineage, entering the Emperor Heaven Universe and stepping into the Third Tier immediately? "
Hearing this, Suopo's eyes flickered with interest in both the name of Emperor Heaven and the Third Tier. However, she did not interrupt but listened quietly.
After Chi Ji finished speaking, Suopo asked, "Your Highness, may I ask what is the World Venerable Lineage?"
Chi Ji snorted coldly: "A lineage left by someone with aspirations higher than the heavens but destiny thinner than paper, daring to touch even my father's divine authority and venerable name. Annihilating ten of their clans wouldn't be excessive!"
Suopo's eyes flickered: "Is Ji Jingqiu a descendant of the World Venerable Lineage?"
"Not yet, but once he breaks through to become a Heavenly Person, he will be," said Chi Ji coldly, "Before that, I shall use his blood to pay homage to my father."
"Understood. I will send people to search for Ji Jingqiu."
Suopo bowed her head, her voice calm, the respect not evident in her tone but shown through her actions. Chi Ji, too, did not bother to press further.
Before leaving, Suopo subtly snuffed out a thread of thought in her hand.
Outside Tianqing City.
Jiang Tunhai's face was momentarily pale, quickly flushed with blood again, regaining normal color.
He had suffered some backlash when a residual thread of his consciousness left in the hall was discovered and severed, but it was a minor issue compared with the information acquired.
"Ji Jingqiu?"
Jiang Tunhai muttered to himself,
"Emperor Heaven Universe, Third Tier... It seems I've stumbled upon quite the news."
"Besides, with those two women joining forces, who in the Ancient Road can stand against them? No, I must also find comrades."
...
...
"Has everyone arrived? It's a pity, a few are still missing."
Inside a tavern at the highest place in the neutral city of Dongxuan, Ji Anquan looked around and did not see some familiar faces, showing a hint of regret.
For example, Zhang San... Zhang Buzhou.
And that uncle from the Ke family...
Ji Anquan couldn't help but shake his head, the generational lines in such disarray, this is what happens when the older generation can't control themselves.
Those gathered were Martial Artists from the Yanhuang Federation, led by Ji Anquan and Qin Qingjue, with other strong Martial Artists like Yin Wushuang, Yue Yourong, Li Chengfeng among them.
They all entered the Ancient Road through the Oasis, and although the entry points were random, they all ended up in the same vast area. Throughout the month, they stumbled upon each other, grouping together and now occupied Dongxuan City.
One month has passed.
Among those present, Ji Anquan was the highest in realm, having already broken through Divine Travel and undergone several transformations. In contrast, other Martial Artists like Yue Yourong were still in the True Seed Realm, but their aura was much stronger than before entering the Ancient Road.
Utilizing the resources on the Ancient Road and the unique environment of Nine States without the oppression of Heaven and Earth, they all made leaps in strength, currently striving to advance further.
Among them, Qin Qingjue was the foremost.
In this generationibilitarian Federation, she was the only one like Ji Jingqiu who had proven her Innate Taoist Body.
She reached Sealing King Peak before entering the Ancient Road and then encountered a bottleneck. The path forward was blocked until after entering the Ancient Road, where she saw a way to progress and is currently trying to break through the Taboo.
In contrast, Ji Anquan had no intention of further refining.
On the first day entering the Ancient Road, he progressed from Sealing King Peak's Dao Foundation and broke through Divine Travel.
