600 The Seven Moons

"So, that"s what happened?" said Xu Junyao, her beautiful voice coming from the other side of the formation. She was not surprised by Zhang Yucheng"s fate, as many people predicted this possible outcome.

"Master, I"m sorry."

"You don"t have to blame yourself. Return home immediately, and I"ll deal with the rulers."

"What about the inheritance."

"Forget about it for now."

"Maybe, I can take it from the final winner. If you give me a second chance, I"m willing to try harder."

"You don"t have much time. The isolation of the lower dimension is almost done."

"What does that mean?"

"It means the rulers will be cut off from interfering. To be precise, no one can interfere. Well, maybe not everyone." Xu Junyao was not sure where the two suns could intervene.

"On top of everything else, some changes have begun here. It is unclear whether it is positive or negative, but we must deal with it."

"I see," muttered Xiao Tiandi.

Xu Junyao ended the communication while pondering that this event might be a suitable catalyst for change; she did not want her disciple to remain in such a depressed state. Hopefully, this w.a.n.g Wei"s words have positively influenced him.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tiandi hesitated for a moment before taking out a token. He looked in the direction of w.a.n.g Wei"s mansion, his eyes full of confusion. With a sigh, he activated it and disappeared from the lower dimension. And two people did the same as him.

Eternal Ascension World:

Ao Jing observed his son, Ao Tianyi. He could see how much of terrible shape he was.

"I thought that brat said he would not go too far," he thought before shaking his head. He raised his hand to instantly create a world as large as the entire lower dimension, as large as the 3000 World Communities that contained trillions of worlds between Lower to Heaven Will Worlds.

Ao Jing created the individuals, the history, culture, different races, and power levels; he made everything needed for a complete world to function.

He then glanced at his son before snapping his finger, forcing him to reincarnate in that world.

"I have created infinite scenarios for you to temper your mind. Hopefully, you can stand after breaking."

Ao Jing designed this world to start over once Ao Jing reached a certain level, allowing him to experience different aspects of life. Regrettably, Heavenly Dao does not allow the Nine Extremity Foundation that is cultivated in such a manner. Otherwise, this level of foundation would be more common. After settling his son, Ao Jing went to report to the Patriarch.

In another section of the upper dimension:

s.h.i.+ Ruolan appeared in an enormous and opulent palace decorated with gold, purple, and priceless jewels. And the moment she appeared, a man dressed in court eunuch uniforms teleported before her, kneeling on one knew.

"Your highness."

"This is the information my father wants," she said calmly, her previous cheerful and approachable demeanor replaced by a cold and authoritarian presence.

"The inheritance?"

"The mission failed," replied s.h.i.+ Ruolan before walking away, ignoring the eunuch. She walked to a room with a golden throne and sat on it, a deep pondering look on her face.

A secret that few people knows is she is the secret child of one of the rulers, the Earth Emperor. Her relations.h.i.+p with her father was great–despite not being publicly acknowledged– as he always supported and cared for her, and she idolized him.

However, s.h.i.+ Ruolan has always felt that some things were wrong but was always scared to address them. For example, why did she never attempt the Nine Extremity Foundation?

She once asked her father for permission, and he refused, explaining that it was dangerous and had a high failure rate. Danger was never a good excuse for cultivators not to do something. As for the failure, she could still benefit even if she failed.

Another odd behavior was when she began cultivating an Outlaw Dao. Her father warned her of the danger, to the point of scaring her to change her Dao.

A third anomaly was the oldest of her siblings, the Great Chu Divine Court princes. She knew a few of them were Empyreans, but not one became Paragons. And the current Crown Prince has been in this realm for far too long.

"Then there is brother Liu. He was the only one who became an Everlasting Empyrean, but he suddenly died."

If it were before, s.h.i.+ Ruolan would never care about these anomalies. But after witnessing Xiao Tiandi"s inner turmoil and w.a.n.g Wei"s reb.u.t.tal, she had no choice but to confront these burning thoughts she had forced in the back of her mind.

Unfortunately, she did not like the conclusions she made.

"What do I do?"

Great Chu Divine Court, in a palace thousands of times even more magnificent than s.h.i.+ Ruolan, on a throne room:

A young man with long black hair and a long goatee sat on a throne, wearing a yellow Emperor outfit with dragon designs. The Earth Emperor calmly read the information his daughter sent.

Without much change in his expression, he put away the talisman, entering a pondering state.

"With the upcoming era, the Karma Position of Heavenly Emperor might finally appear. I can finally put my plan into motion."

Earth Emperor originally planned for one of his 33,000 children to inherit that position. He had even more confidence in s.h.i.+ Ruolan, but after the recent changes, he theorized the position would appear in the lower dimension.

Suddenly, he sensed something. "Is there a meeting?" The Earth Emperor thought before closing his eyes, sending his mind into a dimension with eight seats.

Many people believe that 7 mons reign over the world, but only they know there is an 8th and hidden moon.

"Did everyone get the information?" asked Seven Cauldron Taoist, a middle-aged woman dressed in a Taoist robe with pill symbols.

"I haven"t received it," replied Five Feather Phoenix, the matriarch of the Phoenix race. So, someone else distributed the information from Xiao Tiandi and s.h.i.+ Ruolan.

All seven reviewed the information with a calm att.i.tude.

"Undead Phoenix, what about your side?" Everyone looked at a young man with a pale complexion, dead eyes, and a black phoenix mark on his forehead.

"I"ve got more information. I"ve reduced the leader of the new era to three people."

Undead Phoenix waved his hand to manifest three people: Chu Luo, Di Tian, and w.a.n.g Wei.

"They have successfully established a Nine Extremity Foundation," said Undead Phoenix before explaining all the information he gathered.

If w.a.n.g Wei were here, he would be shocked as many things he thought he hid well were revealed in this meeting; he severely underestimated the capability of a Paragon.

"Chu Luo can be eliminated since he is not from the Myriad Emperor World. Di Tian is the second to be eliminated since his main goal seemed to revive his loved one.

"The most likely creator of the new era is this w.a.n.g Wei. He is intelligent and cunning. And similar to Qiyuan, he is an innovator and a visionary, a person who advocates for the advancement of civilization."

"Yes, he seems like the perfect person to lead the new era of the Myriad Emperor World," commented Seven Cauldron as she looked at the changes in the Dao Opening Sect"s Domains.

She saw an entire civilization based on puppets and mortals as the core.

"So, do we get rid of him?" asked Blood Dragon.

"It"s not that simple. He is connected to Lord Maitreya and Empress Wu," added Undead Phoenix.

"The Empress? She hasn"t shown up in so long, staying to herself. Why is she making moves now?"

"I don"t know."

Everyone frowned. Seven Cauldrons looked at a monk who had not said anything since the meeting. "Monk Twin Flower, what does your leader say?"

Twin Flower was the Maithuna Sect"s leader, a Buddhism branch that focused on duel cultivation. Buddhism ideology focus on the body remaining pure, but the Maithuna Faction followed the opposite philosophies, believing the pleasure of the flesh is another pathway to enlightenment.

Of course, their factions do not engage in mindless overindulgence. Each monk will choose one partner to cultivate for their entire life.

The monk did not respond as he knew the situation was complicated. His leader no longer wanted to act the same way and prevent others from becoming Paragons. However, she was also restrained by Supreme Unity, the same way she restrained him. Meanwhile, all the others here have kept their stand the same.

"You can do what you want," he responded since the Lord told him he did not have to worry about w.a.n.g Wei.

"In that case, let"s remove all three of them," said Seven Cauldron.

"You should be careful," said Time Eater. "Di Tian is the Emperor Creator. A few of the people he created are part of the Limbo group. We should be careful in case they decide to interfere."

"That"s a good idea."

"Disaster, you have not said a word since the meeting?" asked Five Feather Phoenix, looking at an older man dressed in plain black.

"Your actions are pointless. Catastrophe is approaching us, and nothing you can do will stop what"s coming."

Everyone frowned. They knew Disaster Paragon was the kind of person who valued his life above everything else. He did not partic.i.p.ate in the Ultimate Taboo because he foresaw his doom. He joined their group because it was the way to save his life.

And now that he said these words, he must have detected something and even already planned how to survive. And given he was the hidden moon and was unknown to the world, it might be easier to do.

"Don"t mind him. Although these people have great destinies, it does not change the fact they are weak. So, as long as we act fast and swift, they cannot escape their fate," said Time Eater.

"True, so the best plan is to send a projection and annihilate all of them before they can react," said Seven Cauldron.

"To be safe, let"s all send a projection," said Earth Emperor.

"Agree."

"Agree."

"..."

"Since everyone agrees, let"s discuss how to deal with Gu Xuan and the traitors–especially the Celestial Clan," continued Seven Cauldron.

"Gu Xuan is a rat. With his Dao and the Lawless Zone, searching for him is simply not feasible and not worth the effort," commented Undead Phoenix.

"He is not that important, anyways," added Five Feather Phoenix. "And the same can be said about the Celestial Clan. With the recent changes, the Source Qi s.p.a.ce has become even more dangerous–even for us. So, is it worth it to chase after them?"

"It is," said Time Eater. "You know their background. If we don"t nip them in the bud, it"s only a matter of time before they give birth to a Paragon or Tier 12 Insurgent."

"But, how do we search for them?"

"We send people to look. And each of us will alternate personally looking for them," said Time Eaters.

"That could work. I"ll take the first s.h.i.+ft," said Seven Cauldron. Then, the group conversed a little more, discussing how they would execute all their plans.

Bang!

Suddenly, they all sensed something and frowned. They closed their eyes, and their mind immediately left the Eternal Ascension World, traveling the infinite distance that is Primordial Chaos.

A few minutes later, all seven opened their eyes with a serious look unlike anything they had ever been, all because of the news they had received.

The All Seeing Temple, a place in Primordial Chaos known for predicting events that would affect the entire Chaos Universe; they even predicted the appearance of the Ultimate Taboo.

The Paragons just received news the temple had just received a divination that would once again affect the entire universe. Although the prophecy would take some time to process fully, everyone knew a storm was coming.

The Paragons then looked at Disaster, wondering whether the changes in their world were the prelude to something even more significant. The changes may also begin in the Eternal Ascension World.

The Paragons suddenly thought of something, and they instinctively wanted to eliminate the three anomalies immediately.

Boom!

The world shook a little, and their faces changed. The Lower Dimension was blocked entirely, preventing them from accessing it.

Primordial Chaos, Prehistoric Chaos World:

Hongjun opened his eyes from meditation. He looked in the direction of the All-Seeing Temple.

"So, the news finally got out."
