When the Great Ultimate Dao Court was established, people from the Great Change Realm, the Great Commencement Realm, the Great Beginning Realm, and the Great Simplicity Realm came over to congratulate it. Apart from these four realms, experts from some other realms also came to congratulate the new realm.

The Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Dao Court was Di Jiu. The two Protectors were the Starry Sky Saber Sect’s Deputy Sect Master, Ren Jisha, and the Divine Corral River Sacred Dao Sect’s Sect Master, Fang Jianxi. Apart from them, five of the Ten Major Court Masters were also appointed. They were the Peach Blossom Divine Dock’s Dock Lord, Ping Jiangsheng, the Heavenly Elixir Sect’s Sect Master, Xue Gu’ou, the Great Array Sect’s He Yi, the Winter Valley’s Valley Master, Su Qianqian, and the Reblacksmithing Divine Dao Sect’s Fu Yu.

At the same time, the Great Ultimate Dao Court created a cultivator army that was led by the two Protectors and ten Court Masters.

Except for Di Jiu and a few experts who knew that the Great Ultimate Realm still lacked the Yin-Yang Taijitu, a Dharma treasure used to suppress the light from providence, most cultivators had thought that the Great Ultimate Realm was going to be like the other realms and soar sky high as well.

Di Jiu had already decided that after the Great Ultimate Dao Court was established, he would immediately rush back to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone to attain Dao Integration. Then, he wanted to go to the Lost Dao World. He had to take back the Yin-Yang Taijitu, which was a connate treasure, to suppress the light from providence in the Great Ultimate Realm. Hence, he could not leave that to Shang Huijue.

“Dao Lord Di, the Great Simplicity Realm’s Sunken Fish Palace Lord Yin Yueshu wants to meet you.” While Di Jiu and the Protectors were still receiving experts who had come from other realms to congratulate them, Su Qianqian hurriedly came over and informed him of this.

Di Jiu frowned slightly. Yin Yueshu did not usually come for anything important. Why had she come here to see him? Besides, Yin Yueshu knew the rules.

While Di Jiu was still frowning in confusion, Su Qianqian said softly, “Yin Yueshu said this is regarding Dao Lord Po Xu. She rushed over here to tell you about this.”

“I’ll meet her. Everyone, please be seated.” Di Jiu stood up and cupped his fists as he spoke apologetically.

Since this was regarding Dao Lord Po Xu, he had to meet her. However, he didn’t understand why Dao Lord Po Xu had not just sent him a message directly but had asked Yin Yueshu to come instead.

Di Jiu was now a Dao Lord and the Sect Master of the Great Ultimate Realm’s Starry Sky Saber Sect. Thus, nobody would say anything if he went out to take care of something.

…

“Yin Yueshu greets you, Dao Lord.” As soon as Di Jiu walked out of the hall, Yin Yueshu, who was outside, hurriedly bowed.

Di Jiu asked in confusion, “Why didn’t Dao Lord Po Xu send me a message directly? Why did he ask you to bring the message?

Yin Yueshu hurriedly answered, “Dao Lord Po Xu couldn’t send a message in time before he entered the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. I rushed over here and finally arrived in the Great Ultimate Realm today.”

Yin Yueshu was somewhat sad since Di Jiu had not brought her along. After all, she was there to bring a message, yet Di Jiu had not even brought her along when he’d left.

Di Jiu had a slightly bad feeling. He had agreed with Dao Lord Po Xu that after he was done with everything here, the two of them would enter the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone together. Theoretically, before he returned, Dao Lord Po Xu would not go to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone alone. What had happened in the meantime?

“Tell me the exact details.” Di Jiu was wondering what had made Dao Lord Po Xu break his promise and rush into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone alone.

Yin Yueshu said as quickly as possible, “Not long after you left, a fair-skinned cultivator wearing a purple crown came. As soon as he arrived, Dao Lord Po Xu started fighting with him.”

“That person could fight with Dao Lord Po Xu?” Di Jiu was really shocked. He was well aware of Dao Lord Po Xu’s strength, which was slightly higher than his.

He had only witnessed one move of Dao Lord Po Xu, the Primeval Void-Breaking Finger, but he was sure that Dao Lord Po Xu’s trump card would be stronger than that. This also meant that when he and Dao Lord Po Xu had started fighting before, he had held back his full strength.

Even if that hadn’t happened, anyone who could fight with Dao Lord Po Xu had to be extraordinary.

Yin Yueshu nodded. “Yes, that fair person was very, very powerful. He crushed Dao Lord Po Xu in a short time. As soon as he did, the fair male cultivator saw Lightning…”

That was bad. Di Jiu was increasingly feeling that things were bad. He knew better than anyone Lightning’s background. It was the offspring of Kun Peng and a mutant.

As expected, Yin Yueshu added, “After the fair cultivator saw Lightning, he gave up on Senior Dao Lord Po Xu and turned around to grab Lightning. Then, he rushed into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. Upon seeing that fair cultivator rush into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone with Lightning, Dao Lord Po Xu didn’t hesitate to rush in either.”

Di Jiu’s expression was very ugly. He knew why Dao Lord Po Xu had rushed into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. That purple-crowned, fair-skinned cultivator was definitely Dao Lord Po Xu’s enemy. Once the two of them met, they would naturally fight without hesitation. Lightning had ended up revealing itself and the purple-crowned cultivator had definitely recognized Lightning’s background. Hence, he had grabbed Lightning and rushed into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

Dao Lord Po Xu had promised to enter the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone with him. Now that Po Xu had lost Lightning before Di Jiu had even returned, he clearly felt guilty. Therefore, Dao Lord Po Xu wanted to save Lightning right away and had rushed into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone to do so.

“Thank you.” After Di Jiu thanked Yin Yueshu with cupped fists, he hurriedly rushed back to the guest hall and told everyone that he had to leave. At the same time, he handed over the Dao court to the two Protectors and the five Court Masters. He also handed over the Starry Sky Saber Sect to Ren Jisha before he hurriedly left the Great Ultimate Realm.

Before leaving, he handed the array flags to Ren Jisha and Fang Jianxi. If something happened to the Great Ultimate Realm and they were unable to resist, they would seal the realm immediately.

Before he left, he left four of the Five-Element Flags in the Great Ultimate Realm. As long as the Great Ultimate Realm was sealed, even if third-step experts came, they would not be able to open the Great Ultimate Realm in a short time.

…

Due to recent events, the Great Ultimate Realm was bustling. Because of many major events and the big number of cultivators coming and going, the Great Ultimate Realm held all sorts of exchange meetings and auctions.

Fortunately, Di Jiu had established a set of systems in the Great Ultimate Realm. Anyone who wanted to enter the Great Ultimate Realm would have to go through all kinds of different jade talismans to come in and go out and would use the talismans as proof. Thus, although many cultivators would come in and out of the Great Ultimate Realm, the process was clearly more systematic than before.

Unfortunately, that day, when two cultivators arrived at the square outside the Defense Array of the Great Ultimate Realm, they did not use any identification jade talismans. They just rushed into the Defense Array of the Great Ultimate Realm.

These days were an important time for the establishment of the Great Ultimate Dao Court. The guarding cultivators at the entrance of the Defense Array were two Primordial Dao realm experts.

What made the cultivators on the void square furious was that when these two people were stopped by a Primordial Dao Realm expert, the young cultivator leading the way did not ask any questions before he raised his hand to kill him. Then, he sent a fist move toward the array door of the Defense Array.

If Di Jiu had not set up this Defense Array again, it would have been blasted into pieces by that fist move.

The other Primordial Dao cultivator immediately sent a message and threw out several array flags that locked the entrance of the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array.

When this Primordial Dao cultivator sent out a message to lock the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array entrance, the young man sent another fist move out. Without a chance to resist, the Primordial Dao cultivator was killed by the other party’s fist move.

When Ren Jisha and the others, who were all seated in the conference hall, found out that someone had killed two guarding Primordial Dao cultivators with two fist moves, they were extremely shocked. Then, they rushed to the entrance of the Defense Array.

Upon seeing that the entrance of the Defense Array had been locked hastily, the young man furiously killed hundreds of cultivators on the void square before he attacked the Defense Array. Meanwhile, the old man stopped the young cultivator but did not chase after the cultivators fleeing from the square. Instead, he stared at the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array entrance and said, “I, Bei Yiyu, come from the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. I hope you guys can open the Defense Array as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will blast it open. If that happens, I can promise that nobody will survive in the Great Ultimate Realm.”
