Feng Rujiao did not take the Tide Emperor's words to heart. The Emperor spoke with reason, but the ascension to the Imperial Realm was marked by extraordinary phenomena. For nearly ten thousand years, aside from these three who had reached the Zhi Di Jing, no one had entered the Imperial Realm.
She felt that perhaps the Mingfu Mingjun would always consist of just these few, but the Heavenly Realm was different. Besides the publicly recognized Four Great Emperors, there were also reclusive hermits whose strength could easily overshadow that of the Underworld.
The Underworld was a place where souls returned, a dark realm filled with extreme negativity and resentment. The accumulation of Yin Yuan energy over countless years posed a potential threat to the Heavenly Realm. It was better to address this issue sooner rather than wait until it became an urgent crisis.
After she spoke, the Tide Emperor fell silent, but his expression clearly indicated his disapproval. However, as the Heavenly Queen, her concerns could be seen as patriotic; it was just that the Heavenly Emperor seemed indifferent while the Heavenly Queen was preoccupied with her ambitions.
In the midst of their conversation, Yun Zhi Yue was singing joyfully, ready to catch small birds and insects when Elder Nian You appeared and stopped her: "Time's up."
Yun Zhi Yue froze, realizing she had gotten too carried away and forgotten to grab the little yellow flag.
"Haha! We won! Sister is truly fierce!" Wang Zhu exclaimed, waving the small flag in her hand without a scratch on her.
The two were paired together; Wang Zhu's success was no different from Yun Zhi Yue's. The question was how Wang Zhu emerged unscathed. Did her time manipulation not affect him? At that moment, Yun Zhi Yue began to doubt her own abilities.
As she flew over to Wang Zhu to ask why he wasn't afraid of her time manipulation, Nian You announced with an unusual expression: "Only four have passed. The next challenge is canceled. You four will meet with the Emperor."
Four people?
Yun Zhi Yue quickly looked around and noticed Jin Lin's already tattered dragon tail wrapped around a small flag.
What? This works too!
Despite being hit, she still thought about advancing through challenges; that was quite clever of her. She had completely forgotten about passing challenges.
Long Kuang and Feng Nie had transformed into human forms, both pale as ghosts. They looked at Yun Zhi Yue without their previous arrogance; instead, their eyes were filled with apprehension.
They didn't utter a single taunting word and merely followed behind Nian You, stumbling along.
Yun Zhi Yue found it inappropriate to ask Wang Zhu why he wasn’t affected by her time manipulation. She patted his shoulder and followed him toward the No Master Hall.
Wujie resembled the desolate dimension she had traversed before; everything was shrouded in gray mist. This chaotic appearance was typical for newly opened realms.
Destruction brought forth chaos; both states shared a similar essence.
The Wu Zong's palace was not extravagant; it was said to have been built bit by bit by those who voluntarily followed Li Shang Di Jun. Though lacking in ornate decorations, every brick and tile contained the celestial power of its builders, making it exceptionally sturdy.
There weren't many Wu Zong Ren, but each one was a dedicated cultivator whose skills stood out among their peers in the same realm.
The guide, Elder Nian You, was a Zun Jing. How many Wu Zong exist at this level? Yun Zhi Yue pondered quietly.
Outside the main hall, before they even entered, Yun Zhi Yue could already sense the presence of Yun Zhi Yue Qi, and her footsteps came to a halt.
Nian You led several people inside but suddenly noticed one less footstep and turned back in surprise: "Yun Zhi Yue?"
"Nian You, since I have successfully passed the trial, can I be considered to have one foot in Wu Zong?"
Although the Emperor has yet to decide who his disciple will be, your statement holds some truth. What do you mean by that?
"Oh, it's nothing much. I just wanted to say that I am quite beautiful, and it’s inevitable that some shameless individuals might try to take advantage of me. I certainly don't want to become a disciple only to be subjected to unwanted advances. Could you please protect my innocence, Li Shang Di Jun?"
