Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

"I actually have an additional Profound Divine Power in my body, along with a tome of profound Tao scripture. Is this what I gained from my journey to the All-Worlds Luotian Convention?"

"It's the Dao path! I can sense the existence of the Dao path!

This must definitely be the harvest from the All-Worlds Luotian Convention. As long as I press on, I will have the hope of stepping into the Tao Harmony Stage in the future!"

Many of the Tao Test participants showed excitement, and the figures like Saintess Qing Yu of Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, Wave Devourer Divine Venerable of the Vast Sea Divine Lineage, and the Eldest Prince of the Yellow River Dragon Palace could hardly hide their smiles.

Although their gains weren't as significant as 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang's, they were still considerable.

Not only had their cultivation improved greatly, but they had also come one step closer to the Dao path, an opportunity worth its weight in gold for them.

Apart from these three, Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens' Sacred Sage Shao Yang, sacred sages from various Great Grotto Heavens sacred lands, and Incense Offering Canonical Gods also had their own fortunes.

But amidst their excitement, the confusion in their hearts didn't disappear.

Eventually, it was Saintess Qing Yu who took the initiative to speak:

"I don't know why, but this All-Worlds Luotian Convention seems a bit unusual.

The contingency plans I had made to send messages did not get triggered, not even the slightest sign."

As soon as she said this, many of the Tao Test participants resonated.

"The secret transmission talisman of my sect also shows no sign of being triggered."

"I was supposed to leave a message on the Spiritual Platform, but now it's completely clean. This is definitely not normal!"

"The second Primordial Spirit secret method of my sect has shown no response either."

"Normally, the All-Worlds Luotian Convention would last for several years, providing ample time to leave behind messages.

But this time, an accident happened. Could it be that the All-Worlds Luotian Convention ended prematurely?"

All Tao Test participants looked at each other, realizing that they had no information about the happenings within the All-Worlds Luotian Convention.

Many people turned their gaze towards 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang, who had reaped the most this time, and couldn't help but ask:

"3rd Prince, it seems like something unexpected occurred during this All-Worlds Luotian Convention. Do you know the cause and effect?"

3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang appeared startled, his brow furrowing as he thought for a moment before he was about to speak.

And just at that moment, a shrill cry of despair echoed in the Luotian Tao Hall.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

All the Tao Test participants frowned, only to see a figure in tattered Taoist robe, a complete mess, standing in the center of the Luotian Tao Hall, his eyes wide open with terror and unease.

"What has happened to the Great Yin Crown Prince?"

The expression on everyone's faces changed drastically, Ji Xuanyi's haggard and pathetic appearance seemed to hint at something out of the ordinary.

Someone suddenly asked:

"Wait, where is Marquis of Xinyang, Zhao Yuan, who should be by the Crown Prince's side?"

"Could it be that he didn't come out with the Great Yin Crown Prince?"

The complexions of the crowd shifted again, their eyes revealing unease.

The All-Worlds Luotian Convention was no friendly place; even geniuses might perish within, and all powers suffered losses, a fact that was being intentionally overlooked.

However, as one of the well-known Void Refining True Monarchs of the Convention, Marquis of Xinyang, Zhao Yuan was a figure no one dared to ignore.

Especially since Zhao Yuan appeared as a protector of the Great Yin Crown Prince, making him a core figure of the Crown Prince's faction, one of their strongest trump cards.

But now that Zhao Yuan has not left the Luotian Realm, it means that he has perished, and several other powerful experts who accompanied him have also not returned.

Apart from the Crown Prince, no one from the Crown Prince's faction survived.

This caused everyone to subconsciously look towards 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang, their eyes flashing with awe.

Given the Crown Prince's faction was in such disarray, even Marquis of Xinyang having fallen, there was no doubt that only 3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang, who was at odds with them, had the potential to cause this.

3rd Prince Ji Zhaoyang looked at Ji Xuanyi, and for some reason, his eyes inadvertently flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

The frenzied Ji Xuanyi was jolted awake by this sudden murderous intent, his eyes bloodshot.

He was gravely injured and unstable at the moment, and even Zhao Yuan, the Void Refining True Monarch, had perished.

However, the price he paid was far more than that. Exploring the Storage Ring, Ji Xuanyi could clearly sense that the aura of two Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, imbued with great Tao, had not completely dissipated.

This proved that, just before he left the Luotian Realm, he had still held two top-notch Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures imbued with great Tao in his hand.

Yet these transcendent treasures had vanished without a trace as he returned to the Primal Chaos Realm, as though the ducks that were already in his mouth had flown away, driving Ji Xuanyi nearly mad with fury.

"It was you! It must have been you!"

"Among so many Tao Test participants, only you could have stolen the treasures and killed the Marquis of Xinyang!"

With bloodshot eyes, Ji Xuanyi could no longer contain the rage in his heart; his gaze was fixed dead on the figure in the corner of the Luotian Tao Hall, who was bowing his head in contemplation.

Everyone else followed Ji Xuanyi's gaze and turned to look, only to see that person standing there quietly, as if merging into the surrounding world, becoming a part of it.

Like the omnipresent light, like the commonly seen dust, utterly inconspicuous and easily overlooked.

Had Ji Xuanyi not pointed him out, it was likely that many of the Tao Test participants present wouldn't have realized that this person existed.

The person Ji Xuanyi was pointing to was none other than Shen Yuan.

The external tumult roused Shen Yuan from his brief contemplation, causing him to lift his head and look around.

When everyone met Shen Yuan's gaze, it was as if they were looking into a void where nothing existed—no space-time, no causality, not even concepts existed anymore.

The souls of the masses solidified, as if they were about to merge into that boundless void at any moment.

The next moment, the strange aura around Shen Yuan disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened. Yet that fleeting, eerie sensation still instilled fear in the many Tao Test participants, who did not dare to make any rash moves.

Only Ji Xuanyi roared furiously:

"It must have been you who conspired with Ji Zhaoyang to kill the Marquis of Xinyang and robbed me of my opportunity. Even before the end of the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, you plotted to steal two of my top-notch Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"Hand them over now, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving the Imperial Capital!"

As his voice fell, outside the Luotian Tao Hall, numerous cultivators rose into the air, staring this way with predatory eyes.

A public official dressed in a vermilion robe, holding a great seal, was spiritually supported by the Capital City Mortal Path Array, casting a menacing stare at Shen Yuan.

The atmosphere was immediately tense as a bowstring, yet this made the Third Prince Ji Zhaoyang furiously shocked, and he swiftly interposed himself in front of Ji Xuanyi and demanded:

"Ji Xuanyi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Ji Zhaoyang's forthright intervention caused the Great Yin ministers and nobles on the scene to hesitate, their eyes filled with uncertainty.

If it had been earlier, this official would have undoubtedly chosen to help Ji Xuanyi, the Great Yin Crown Prince.

But no matter what happened during the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, it was Ji Zhaoyang, the Third Imperial Prince, who had the last laugh.

Ji Xuanyi had suffered a defeat, and even his own Void Refining True Monarch was slain. He no longer held an advantage over the Third Prince.

There was absolutely no need to antagonize the Third Prince, who was currently riding high, simply to appease Ji Xuanyi.

Inside the Luotian Tao Hall, the scene fell into a stalemate for the moment.

As for Shen Yuan, the person in question, his expression remained completely undisturbed.

Neither Ji Xuanyi's questioning nor the official's threatening move had evoked any reaction from Shen Yuan.

At that moment, his attention was focused on the direction of the inner city of the Imperial Capital, where, within the core area of the Imperial City, Shen Yuan faintly perceived a fading aura.

Inside the Imperial City, what should have been controlled by the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor—a significant human path's momentum—was showing signs of unrestrained dispersal, which echoed vaguely with Shen Yuan.

"Could it be, has something happened to the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor?"

Before Shen Yuan could grasp the reason behind it, he suddenly saw a brilliance ascend from the Mortal Path Array high in the firmament. Through the method of Void Teleportation spanning thousands of miles, a massive Taixu Ship appeared above the Luotian Tao Hall.

Atop the Taixu Ship was none other than the fearsomely famous Massacre True Monarch.

Next to the Massacre True Monarch, however, was a character utterly beyond Shen Yuan's expectations.

The former Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens reserve Sacred Sage, Yu Ke!

Yu Ke, with his full head of white hair and an elderly face, spoke arrogantly from the void, taking out a Golden Scroll and proclaiming loudly:

"By the decree of the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor, execute Falling Clouds Taoist!"
