October 10, the 3593rd year of Emperor NvWa’s Calendar…

Inside Mountain Ruins…

As the hot sun was hanging high, many human immortal generals were gathering in the sky within hundreds of miles. Some of them were in a team of two or three while some were alone. All the human immortal generals were gazing at the bizarre air zone thousands of miles away as if they were waiting for something.

From afar, that bizarre air zone was a colossal broken space hole. It was as large as a small domain. Being shrouded with grey mist, it gave out fatal qi. They could see a blurry huge mountain peak as high as thousands of meters in the grey mist. Its size was indescribable. The entire mountain peak appeared to be in the mountain ruins or in the broken space hole. It was like a fishbone in one’s throat. What a coincidence!

That place was the core region of Mountain Ruins, also the most mysterious and dangerous place in Motian Realm. If any immortal general entered it in ordinary days, they would definitely lose their lives there. However, in the coming short period of time, immortal generals who entered the core region of Mountain Ruins might acquire great opportunities, immortal outfits, secret methods, element crystals or the Nine-Heavens Immortal Spring that everyone was casting a covetous eye on.

The core region of Mountain Ruins would open in every six jiazi, namely 360 years. It opened today.

Starting from many days ago, human immortal generals inside Mountain Ruins had gathered here. Today, the population of human immortal generals here reached its peak. Even many old freaks who were always in secluded cultivation inside Mountain Ruins had arrived. Additionally, many powerhouses above wind immortal generals had arrived here from human domains below Mountain Ruins.

Some immortal generals were arriving here until now.

A silver-haired old man was flying over here from afar while releasing a strong sage-level qi. After arriving here, the old man looked around. Closely after that, he became temporarily stunned; because this scene looked very different than what he had experienced before.

When he saw three wind immortal generals gathering together in the nearby, the elder flew over there and asked them.

“It’s strange. Why don’t I see any demon general this time? Previously, when the core region of Mountain Ruins was opened, weren’t demon generals in our opposite and preparing to rush inside together with us?”

When they found the elder was powerful, the three wind immortal generals treated the elder politely. One of them replied, “Senior, were you in secluded cultivation these days?”

“Yes, I’ve been in secluded cultivation for over 8 decades. I finished it yesterday!” The elder said as he stroked his mustache pleasantly.

“That’s it. Senior, you don’t know that, I’m afraid that few demon generals dared clashed against us this time. Even though some demon generals dared come, they would definitely enter it in the end secretly. They dare never contend with us now!”

“Why?”

“Months ago, after His Majesty Dragon Emperor finished his secluded cultivation, he killed two demon emperors and smashed the army of 100,000 demon generals alone in Deities Plain of Nine-Heavens Big Domain.” The one who replied to him added some trimmings to Zhang Tie’s meritorious deed and prestige in Nine-Heavens Big Domain and directly frightened that elder out of wits. He even couldn’t believe his ears.

“Am I clear, senior? As long as His Majesty Dragon Emperor is here, those demon generals and demon emperors dare never be such rampant like before. Without the competition from demon generals, humans could definitely make more achievements in the core region of Mountain Ruins…”

“Really? When did such a supreme figure appear in Motian Realm?”

“Everyone knows that. Senior, if you don’t believe in me, you can ask about…”

Right then, they heard a voice from some immortal generals in the distance.

“Here come the people of Force Emperor Immortal Palace…”

Those immortal generals became slightly shocked as many people turned around and looked back.

Force Emperor and many immortal generals of Force Emperor Immortal Palace were coming. As one of the three emperor-level immortal palaces, Force Emperor Immortal Palace’s representatives were really domineering. The moment they arrived, they instantly became the most crowded group here. Many immortal generals started to fly towards them and greet Force Emperor or show their courtesy to Force Emperor by nodding heads from afar.

Over the past months, Force Emperor and Force Emperor Immortal Palace took cities and seized territory in Nine-Heavens Big Domain heavily. Therefore, at this moment, Force Emperor and the other immortal generals of Force Emperor Immortal Palace looked pleasant and confident.

Closely after that, another group of immortal generals approached from afar.

Although its population was fewer than that of Force Emperor Immortal Palace, it was also a large group with great power. Those sharp-eyed guys instantly identified that they were representatives of Star Emperor Immortal Palace.

However, being different than Force Emperor, Star Emperor didn’t appear together with the immortal generals of Star Emperor Immortal Palace.

After a short while, a group of people with fewer population arrived. However, they instantly aroused a shock among all the immortal generals here.

They were representatives of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Since the former Dragon Emperor disappeared, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had not assigned such a formation of representatives to attend such a grand meeting over the past 720 years.

Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace only had more than 20 immortal generals. It was Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng who led them here.

Everyone was focusing on the team of immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. However, they didn’t see Zhang Tie the incumbent Dragon Emperor either.

‘Won’t His Majesty Dragon Emperor come here either?’

Many people started to have such a question in mind. Many people who had not seen Zhang Tie even became a bit disappointed.

The group of people of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t stop until they reached dozens of miles away from the group of representatives of Force Emperor Immortal Palace. They waited there with the other immortal generals.

“Elder Long, I wonder where is His Majesty Dragon Emperor? Will he attend this grand meeting?”

That got to be Force Emperor. When the others could only keep the question in mind, Force Emperor directly posed his question. His muffled sound instantly spread over.

“My respect to you, Your Majesty Force Emperor, we don’t know where His Majesty Dragon Emperor is. However, His Majesty Dragon Emperor sent a message to me just now and said that he would definitely come here!” Long Jiutian answered Force Emperor aloud in neither a humble nor pushy way.

The arrival of the two elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace instantly transferred people’s attention from the core region of Mountain Ruins to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. At this moment, the piece of news that Dragon Emperor mastered a secret method that could enable 4 fire immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace to promote to supreme immortal generals in half a month had long spread over Motian Realm and aroused a great shock among humans.

At this moment, many people here were fire immortal generals. Many fire immortal generals had been stagnated at this level for too long. Therefore, they paid special attention to this piece of news.

Even though Zhang Tie didn’t come, many immortal generals still flew over here from afar and greeted the two elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; some even asked about the events that four elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace promoted to supreme immortal generals in half a month indirectly. The scene was even more boisterous than that on Force Emperor’s side. Even Star Emperor Immortal Palace assigned immortal generals to greet them.

However, Force Emperor and Force Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t envy them; because it was the proper treatment that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace should receive. As long as one could kill two demon emperors and smash the army of 100,000 demon generals, it was not strange for his men to receive such a treatment wherever they were. Even though Zhang Tie was not here, nobody dared despise the people of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

When they saw Star Emperor Immortal Palace’s man going there to greet the two elders of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, after having eye contact with a grand justice of Force Emperor Immortal Palace, an immortal general of Force Emperor Immortal Palace also went there to greet them.

If Force Emperor Immortal Palace didn’t assign anyone to greet them, some people would think that there was some contradiction between Force Emperor Immortal Palace and His Majesty Dragon Emperor. If some believed in this gossip, it would be troublesome. Even the members of Force Emperor Immortal Palace might be panicky.

The two elders and the other immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace here had the deepest feeling about such a boisterous scene. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was still struggling on the verge of death not long ago. However, they were soon back at their peak.

As for those who had not tumbled, they might never know the taste of picking oneself up from the ground after tumbling. However, all the changes were brought by one person.

“Hahaha, it’s such boisterous here…”

When those immortal generals were in hot discussion about the arrival of the representatives of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, a voice suddenly drifted from afar. After hearing this voice, all the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace instantly looked pleasant. However, before they turned around and looked back, they found that Zhang Tie had already appeared in front of the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.

Zhang Tie wore a white robe with a black waistband. He looked as stately and handsome as an immortal.

Nobody had seen clearly how Zhang Tie arrived.

“Our respects to you, Your Majesty Dragon Emperor…” Long Jiutian and those immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace hurriedly bowed deeply towards Zhang Tie.

“As Mountain Ruins is like a battlefield, don’t be such polite to me…” Zhang Tie said as he lightly raised his hand; meanwhile, an irresistible yet very tender strength instantly helped Long Jiutian and the other immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace strengthen their bodies.

The others might not have a sharp feeling; however, Long Jiutian and Ying Gucheng, who were supreme immortal generals felt their hearts pounding once heavily after feeling this force. They instantly held Zhang Tie in infinite awe and veneration. Only after a few months, Zhang Tie’s power appeared to have entered an unimaginable realm. That was too shocking.

“Hahaha, Your Majesty Dragon Emperor is still such charming after a few months. Congratulations…” Force Emperor greeted Zhang Tie as he laughed aloud.

When in Deities’ Plain, Zhang Tie showed great respect to Force Emperor. Of course, Force Emperor was crystal clear about it——Zhang Tie asked for Force Emperor’s mercy on Yin-Yang Sect before killing the two demon emperors; instead of posing such a request after killing the two demon emperors. If it was the second situation, even though Force Emperor agreed with him, the others would also regard it as Force Emperor’s concession to Dragon Emperor.

Zhang Tie mentioned it before he defeated the army of demons, which displayed that Zhang Tie was bright, frank and considerate. Combining with his attitude about those forces which once encroached Dragon Emperor Big Domain, of course, such a person could easily win the recognition and respect from Force Emperor.

“Hahaha, I was told that Your Majesty Force Emperor’s saber really scared daylights out of those demons in the past months. They would escape away the moment they saw your shadow…” Zhang Tie greeted Force Emperor with a smile.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, not only Force Emperor, even the other immortal generals of Force Emperor Immortal Palace chested out with pride. If others said the same words, it would be a simple compliment; however, when His Majesty Dragon Emperor said it, it would have a much greater effect.

“Your Majesty Force Emperor, how about contending with me who could get more rarities in the core region of Mountain Ruins…”

“That’s what I’m thinking about!”

Zhang Tie and Force Emperor exchanged a glance with each other with a distance of dozens of miles. Closely after that, they burst out laughing at the same time.

The optimistic moods of the two top human powers instantly affected the surrounding immortal generals as those human immortal generals were itching for the coming critical moment…
