Chapter 163: The Imperial Artifact, Star Luopan; The Myriad Races Assembly Begins

At this moment, seeing Mo Xiaowu asking, the old crone Mei Ling's anger instantly dissipated. A trace of a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she looked at her beloved disciple with maternal kindness.

"It's nothing. I was just chatting with your senior grand-uncle, I wasn't calling you. You and Wei Yi go ahead and talk about whatever you were discussing."

Mo Xiaowu let out an "Oh!" and turned her head back around.

Looking at her beloved disciple's back, Mei Ling felt immensely satisfied. Since childhood, this disciple of hers had possessed a gentle disposition and had always been deeply favored by her.

It was simply a pity that she had ended up with that fellow Wei Yi—a fact that left Mei Ling extremely displeased!

In her eyes, that fellow Wei Yi was simply unworthy of her disciple. Especially now that Wei Yi was completely white-haired, making him look even older than herself, how could he have the nerve to be with her gentle and generous disciple?

At this thought, Mei Ling cast a fierce glare at Tianxuanzi.

Tianxuanzi felt somewhat baffled, having no idea where he had once again offended this hot-tempered junior sister of his! Yet, recalling the events of the past, Tianxuanzi was consumed by bitter regret.

He could never have imagined that the entire Tianshuan Sect would be ruined by that damned Wang Tianhe.

Wang Tianhe was different from the others; he was the only rogue cultivator at the third tier of the Quasi-Emperor realm to join the Tianshuan Sect! Back then, within the Tianshuan Sect, apart from Tianxuanzi himself, who could firmly suppress him, everyone else was several shades weaker.

At the time, in order to make him feel secure in serving the sect, Tianxuanzi had bestowed upon him the position of Vice Sect Master, demonstrating the Tianshuan Sect's appreciation for talent.

Little did Tianxuanzi know that the reason that fellow entered the Tianshuan Sect was actually to leverage the sect's strength to achieve his own goal of entering the Immortal Realm.

Not only was he the one who initiated the assault on the Primeval Forbidden Land, but even after entering the Immortal Realm, it was he who secretly orchestrated the incitement of the crowd to slaughter the Supremes to assert dominance.

He had originally thought that even if the passage to the Immortal Realm could not be forced open once, as long as they could occupy the forbidden zone, there would eventually come a day when it could be breached.

Unfortunately, this fellow was extremely cunning, always instigating others to take the lead in everything he did. Even when the Female Emperor slaughtered those who attempted to massacre the Supremes, Wang Tianhe never exposed himself.

Regrettably, when this fellow emerged this time, he miscalculated, assuming there were no longer any Supremes left in the forbidden zone.

As for Chen Xing, who claimed to reside in the forbidden land and possessed a low cultivation realm, Wang Tianhe attempted to wrest the forbidden land from his hands. As a result, he was directly obliterated by the furious Chen Mi! In the face of absolute strength, no matter how myriad his clever tricks were, they proved utterly useless.

Of course, all these matters were deduced by the group from various clues after Wei Yi shared some details with them later on. After all, they were all ancient monsters; once they had a clue, piecing together the whole story presented no difficulty at all.

This time, the members of the Tianshuan Sect, in order to repay Chen Xing for saving their lives, strictly followed Chen Xing's instructions and headed to the Northern Domain to support the human race.

Facing their three Quasi-Emperors and nearly ten Great Saint-level experts, the group decided to conceal their aura and travel leisurely toward the Northern Domain.

As for whether they might arrive too late, the group had not the slightest worry, because the supreme treasure of the Tianshuan Sect was none other than the Imperial Artifact, the "Star Luo Plate."

This Imperial Artifact passed down through the Tianshuan Sect possessed extraordinary offense and defense capabilities, but most importantly, once a target was set upon the Star Luo Plate, it could directly tear through the void and teleport people straight to the destination.

Even back when the Female Emperor had once sealed space and directly suppressed everyone in the Tianshuan Sect, they had still managed to work together and teleport Lin Feng away. This showed just how formidable the teleportation function of this Imperial Artifact truly was.

On this day, the grand gathering finally commenced. Within the Jade Lake Sacred Land, the Imperial Artifact, the Fairy Tears Green Gold Pagoda, was concealed within the void, radiating boundless imperial might to protect the entire sacred land.

At the entrance of the sacred land, figures from numerous major powers had long since arrived, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Primordial Race.

Just at this moment, someone spotted a man strolling over leisurely and couldn't help crying out in shock: "The Human Sacred Body, Ye Fan!"

Hearing this exclamation, quite a few people from major powers cast their gazes over.

Curious, many mighty figures probed Ye Fan's body with secret techniques, wishing to see what realm the Human Sacred Body had attained.

Yet, to their disappointment, they discovered that although Ye Fan's blood qi surged to the heavens and was quite astonishing, in terms of cultivation realm, he was merely at the Dragon Transformation realm!

Originally, some had held expectations, thinking that the Sacred Body was peerless through the ages and might give them a surprise today! After all, if Ye Fan's cultivation could be higher, he could contribute some strength for the human race later on!

Seeing this now, however, they felt extreme disappointment. Many mighty figures thus looked away and paid him no further attention.

Back in the day, Ye Fan had also turned the entire Big Dipper upside down, even holding up holy sons and holy daughters for ransom. Naturally, he had also been hunted down in secret by holy sons and holy daughters, truly offending quite a few factions.

However, after meeting Chen Xing, he began to learn how to keep a low profile! Even though his cultivation was now approaching the peak of this realm, he had stubbornly kept the world unaware of it.

Now, as time passed, those factions that had once been hostile to Ye Fan had long since let go of those minor frictions, and some had even forgotten about Ye Fan entirely!

Moreover, given that this was a critical moment of negotiation between the human race and the Primordial Race, everyone understood very well that the human race must unite at this time.

Although the cultivation Ye Fan displayed did not draw much regard from many, it still added a shred of confidence to the human race.

Of course, what they did not know was that Ye Fan was merely disguising his cultivation using a secret technique from the Nine-Turn Mysterious Art; even a peak Quasi-Emperor arriving here would likely find it difficult to discern.

Over the past few years, to avoid exposing his cultivation prematurely, Ye Fan had traveled far to the Western Desert alongside Old Man Rumo after the Primordial Royal Clans emerged, only returning now.

At this moment, not only had Ye Fan hidden his cultivation, but even Old Man Rumo was lying in stealth in the shadows, waiting solely for the critical moment to give the Primordial Race a "surprise"!

Just as Ye Fan stepped into the Jade Lake Sacred Land, he suddenly heard the crowd break into a commotion:

"They're here! Some members of the Primordial Royal Clan have arrived, look quickly." Someone looked towards the distant sky with a shock-filled expression on their face.

"What are you panicking for? Let them come! With so many major powers here, are we going to be afraid of them!"

Someone glanced at that person with a look of disdain, but when he saw those Primordial clansmen in the sky radiating earth-shattering might, his expression also changed drastically.

At this moment, within the crowd's line of sight, a group of bizarre-looking Primordial Royal clansmen were seen descending upon the entrance of the Jade Lake Sacred Land with an aura soaring to the heavens!

Unlike ordinary Primordial clansmen, the Primordial Royal Clan considered themselves noble in status and never deigned to transform into human form!

Therefore, as everyone looked on at this moment, within the Primordial Royal Clan, there were all sorts of grotesque shapes: some with unicorn heads and human bodies! Some with four arms and three heads! There was even a female who actually grew ten heads!

Looking at these strange creatures, Ye Fan chuckled inwardly, thinking: If they knew that someone was eyeing their flesh with covetous eyes, wanting to roast and eat it, I wonder what kind of thoughts they would have.

Just as the human factions were about to step forward and strike up a conversation, a lewd voice suddenly drifted over:

"I say you dead dog, I told you to hurry up and you wouldn't listen. See? We almost missed it!"

Immediately afterwards, a dog's bark rang out: "Woof! You damned scoundrel, was I the one who was late? If you hadn't insisted on taking a detour to wander around the ancestral graveyard of the Primordial Race, we would have arrived long ago, alright."

Hearing the dialogue between this man and dog, many people couldn't help snickering. They had long since heard tales of a depraved Daoist priest wandering everywhere with a large black dog to dig up people's ancestral graves, hunted down relentlessly by others!

Never had they expected that at such a critical moment, these two fellows would actually dare to show up. Were they not afraid of being beaten to death?

The two fellows speaking at this moment had already walked over; they were none other than Duan De and the Black Emperor!

As they reached the crowd, the sharp-eyed Black Emperor instantly spotted Ye Fan, who was standing within the crowd and watching their side with a smile.

"Woof! It's Ye the Black, haha! We finally found him." The Black Emperor shouted excitedly to Duan De and trotted towards Ye Fan on all fours.

Duan De also grinned, following behind the Black Emperor and running towards Ye Fan while shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Haha! Ye Fan, so glad to see you! Come, come! I just dug up some treasures from underground, I'll share a couple with you."

Hearing Duan De's shouts, and connecting them with what the large black dog had said earlier, the humans couldn't help casting glances at the opposing Primordial clansmen and burst out laughing with a resounding "Boom!"

Only the members of the Primordial Race looked at one another in blank dismay, clueless as to what they were laughing at.

Flying into a rage, a giant-like fellow stepped forward and bellowed furiously:

"Is the human race truly so discourteous? Why has no one come out to welcome the Son of Heaven of our clan!" His voice rolled thunderously, echoing outward.
