Wu Shattered Star River

The Land of Absolute Zero remained relatively calm!

Cang Xunni was still in seclusion and hadn't emerged.

So many years had passed that the powerhouses of the four domains all knew that the current peace was the calm before the storm, and the storm could descend at any moment.

Now, the higher-ups of the four domains were preparing their escape routes. The major clans had already hidden many of their elites in various void realms and secret realms.

Although the void realms and secret realms weren't necessarily safe, what could they do? They had nowhere to escape, so they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.

Of course…

There were also some major clans that had begun secretly contacting the Tianlin Clan, hoping to betray their allegiance and pledge their service to the Tianlin Clan.

That way, after the Tianlin Clan unified the world, although they wouldn't necessarily thrive, they wouldn't be purged or exterminated.

Yao Ao, Zhen Ji, and Ye Tianfan were well aware of the situation of their subordinate clans colluding with the Tianlin Clan in secret, but they were helpless.

They couldn't possibly start a bloody internal purge before the war even began, could they? Without substantial evidence, indiscriminate killings would alienate the rest of their subordinates.

The matter of Jiang Han going to the Land of the Gods wasn't spread abroad. It was only said that Jiang Han was in seclusion within a secret realm.

Many major clans didn't have high hopes for Jiang Han's seclusion. Jiang Han was only a Saint Ruler. Although he had cultivated the Power of Primordial Chaos and possessed his current combat power, it was already heaven-defying. How could he possibly improve again in a short period of time?

After the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, it was too difficult to improve. How many years had Cang Xunni been stuck at the peak of the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm? His breakthrough was only achieved with Cang Ritian's forced assistance. Cang Xunni might not have been able to break through in his entire life, which showed how difficult it was to improve after the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

Jiang Han had been gone for so many years and hadn't returned, so Yao Ao, Zhen Ji, and Ye Tianfan were starting to panic internally. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Han should have found Mo Xie.

If Mo Xie was willing to help, they would have returned long ago.

The Land of the Gods was full of experts. Would something happen to Jiang Han going up there alone? These things were impossible to predict.

The only good news now was that Jiang Han's Soul Tablet hadn't shattered, which meant that Jiang Han wasn't dead.

Since he wasn't dead, there was still hope.

… …

Mount Wuliang, on that heavenly ladder, two figures flew down.

Jiang Han and Pei Zhu had both disguised themselves. Jiang Han used the Heavenly Transformation Art to change his appearance, while Pei Zhu had a treasure that made her figure look very blurry.

"This is the Land of Absolute Zero?"

After coming down from the stone steps, Pei Zhu sensed her surroundings and sized up the environment. She said, "This place isn't that great. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth feels very thin."

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han said with a wry smile, "This place is the lower realm compared to the Land of the Gods. How could the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the lower realm be as rich as in the upper realm? Miss Pei Zhu, just treat it as a trip to the countryside."

"Alright!"

Pei Zhu nodded, then said, "Jiang Han, don't call me by my real name. Just call me Miss Zhu."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Let's go down the mountain first and scout out the situation!"

Jiang Han led Pei Zhu and rushed down the mountain all the way. After descending Mount Wuliang, Jiang Han discovered some scouts nearby.

Jiang Han found a scout leader at the Emperor level. He flashed and directly grabbed the scout leader, then flew away with him, leaving a group of scouts looking at each other in dismay.

After flying for a distance, Jiang Han put the Emperor-level scout down, then revealed his true appearance. He said, "Do you recognize me?"

The scout leader was scared half to death at first. After carefully looking at Jiang Han a few times, he was relieved this time. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Emperor Jiang!"

"Great Emperor?"

Pei Zhu smiled beside him. Jiang Han said somewhat awkwardly, "Each domain lord here proclaims themselves as Great Emperor, making Miss Zhu laugh."

The scout glanced at Pei Zhu with some curiosity, but he was sensible enough not to say anything more.

Jiang Han asked, "How is the situation in the Land of Absolute Zero now? Has the Central Domain started attacking?"

"Reporting to Great Emperor Jiang, no!"

The scout leader replied, "It has been very quiet these past few years. The Central Domain has not taken any action."

"That's good!"

Jiang Han let out a long breath. He waved his hand and said, "You may leave. Don't spread the word about my affairs!"

"Yes, sir!"

The scout leader bowed and retreated. Jiang Han thought for a while and said to Pei Zhu, "Miss Pei Zhu, we are in the Western Domain of the Land of Absolute Zero. We need to go to the Northern Domain now. Should I take you there? It will be much faster this way!"

"Sure!"

Pei Zhu shrugged indifferently. Jiang Han put Pei Zhu into a spatial magic artifact, then directly teleported away.

The lower realm was much smaller than the upper realm. Jiang Han only teleported for a little over a day before entering the Heavenly Domain. He had disguised procedures before, so he didn't even need to reveal his identity.

Teleporting all the way, Jiang Han spent more than three days entering Saint Yao City.

Jiang Han still didn't reveal his identity. He directly used the Immortal Evasion Technique to sneak into the city, quietly arriving at the palace where Yao Ao lived.

Yao Ao was sitting cross-legged in a pavilion by a pool in the backyard. Jiang Han appeared beside him, but he didn't sense anything.

Jiang Han's figure flashed out, and Yao Ao suddenly opened his eyes. A battle blade appeared in his hand at the first moment, and he slashed at Jiang Han with a backhand.

Jiang Han quickly said, "Uncle Yao, it's me!"

Yao Ao's battle blade stopped in front of Jiang Han's forehead. He looked at Jiang Han with a shocked expression and said, "When did you come back? You were actually able to approach me silently? Have you broken through to the ninth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm?"

Jiang Han said somewhat speechlessly, "Uncle Yao, what are you thinking? Even if the Supreme God helps me, I wouldn't break through so quickly."

Yao Ao woke up and realized that he was indeed fantasizing a bit. He put away the battle blade and asked anxiously, "Did you come back alone? Has your combat power improved?"

"It has improved, but not much…"

Jiang Han said with a wry smile, "I can now kill the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm without much difficulty, but I'm still not confident in fighting the eighth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm. However, I have comprehended a very perverted evasion technique that even the eighth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm can't see through."

Yao Ao's eyes flickered. He frowned and said, "Evasion techniques are useless. It's meaningless if you can't withstand Cang Xunni…"

"I brought back a cultivator!"

Jiang Han said, "However, this cultivator is only at the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm!"

"What's the use of the sixth level?"

Yao Ao rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you see Mo Xie?"

"I saw him!"

Jiang Han explained, "But Lord Mo Xie can't come down. One is that he is injured. The other is that the upper realm has regulations that the powerhouses of major forces can't mess around in the lower realm, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Jiang Han didn't keep him in suspense and continued, "Uncle Yao, don't worry. The cultivator I brought back is of great use."

"Of great use? What great use?"

Yao Ao was somewhat puzzled. A mere sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, even if he was a bit heaven-defying, with combat power comparable to the seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, what problems could he solve? Could he withstand Cang Xunni?

Jiang Han said, "I brought back a lady, the number one lady of the Pei family of the Lightbringer Society!"

"The Lightbringer Society, the Pei family?"

Yao Ao's eyes suddenly widened, and he said with a shocked expression, "Are you talking nonsense? You abducted the number one lady of the Lightbringer Society? How… how did you do it? How could you be so bold and reckless? If the Lightbringer Society finds out, wouldn't they raze your entire clan to the ground?"
