Xiang Tiandi watched Li Zhengdao fleeing, uttered a low cry, and saw layers of electric light grow from his palm. His arm had turned into a flash of lightning, slashing out with layers upon layers of spatial distortion. But when he truly saw Li Zhengdao finally fall, his breath quickly plummeting to nearly nothing, a hint of confusion flashed across Xiang Tiandi's face. He always felt that the battle before his eyes seemed won a bit too easily. However, the pressing matter was to awaken the Haotian Divine Emperor in seclusion. After pondering for a moment, Xiang Tiandi decided not to pursue it further. As Li Zhengdao fell, the mist surrounding the entire palace gradually dissipated. Xiang Tiandi looked towards Yan Zhenjun, standing in front of the dragon's body, and nodded slightly. Even though the other had not contributed much just now, at least he had blocked once and didn't slip away directly. "Yan Zhenjun, you stay here and watch this guy; I'll go in and awaken the Divine Emperor." Hearing Xiang Tiandi's words, Yan Zhenjun nodded rather coldly. He imitated the demeanor of the Si Yi Heavenly Lord in his memory, turned around, and blocked the front of the palace: "Don't worry, little Xiang. With me here, I won't let anyone disturb you." 'Little... Xiang?' Xiang Tiandi was slightly taken aback: 'Why is this guy suddenly so... never mind.' Xiang Tiandi shook his head, his form moved, and he turned into a flash of lightning, entering the palace. Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Demon base, Zhou Bai and Em clasped their hands together, tightly gripping the necklace trigram. In their five senses, with the violent surge of void information, one memory fragment after another flashed before them. They saw Dong Ming's body bound by sixty-four chains, being dragged all the way through a door, and completely disappeared with the closing of the door. And after Dong Ming was shut behind the door, Ji Wufan pinched a Taoist sealing gesture, and saw sixty-four rays of light emerge from the surrounding heaven and earth. For every new ray of light, the green mountains and clear waters, blue skies, and white clouds in front of them began to dissipate. When the last ray of light emerged, the entire world was pitch black, just like the time they first came to the void, the concepts of space and time once again became vague. Only the sixty-four rays of light slowly gathered together, finally transforming into a gemstone appearing in front of Ji Wufan, which he reached out to catch. Without speaking, he simply looked at the gemstone with a complex expression, then turned and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness. Watching this scene, Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat: 'A gemstone? Are those sixty-four rays the sixty-four trigrams? Could it be that my gemstone was generated by the combination of the sixty-four trigrams?' 'It seems these sixty-four trigrams have something to do with the opening and closing of the door.' Em exclaimed, "Zhou Bai, why the hell are you gripping so hard, you're hurting me!" "Oh." Zhou Bai promptly loosened his grip, the light and shadow before them transformed again, as if another memory appeared before them. They saw Ji Wufan's body being washed onto a beach by waves in the middle of the sea. He slowly sat up, looking at the bright sunlight, and suddenly burst into laughter: "I came out." "I finally came out." But the next moment, his expression changed slightly, sweeping over his body, frowning: "Where did the gemstone go?" "The void has no true concept of time and space, it can correspond to any location in the Material World... so did the gemstone get lost when it came out with me?" Ji Wufan slowly stood up and walked towards a nearby forest. He walked over different lands, through one city after another, traversing every wilderness, every land, seeing every drop of seawater. He continued to walk, continuously searching for traces of the gemstone. This time Ji Wufan did not interfere in the development of the human world, as if a bystander, he watched the world of humans flourish, decay, die, rebirth... just like what he saw in the void. "No matter how many times... humans won't learn from their errors, their lifespans, their powers limit them." "To change, to save, I must first achieve eternity myself to have a chance." At the wedding site, with Jiu Xiao Marshal stepping onto the Path to Ascension, Zhou Bai also welcomed his first Heavenly Lord-level opponent today. Be it the righteous gods or the immortals, both were closely watching the two on the field, while the power of the Primordial Spirit constantly surged, communicating with each other. Immortal Qin: "Jiu Xiao Marshal... Could it be that he has made a move?" Diablo Slayer God at the side analyzed: "Jiu Xiao Marshal once tempered and refined his body with Heavenly Tribulation Lightning; his Divine Body is said to ward off all evils. If his Divine Body still retains this power, then indeed he is the best candidate to block Zhou Bai." Having just observed Zhou Bai's actions continuously, not only did the righteous gods analyze much about Zhou Bai's current state, but the immortals also had their analyses. Diablo Slayer God sighed: "The attacking ability Zhou Bai just exhibited was very strong, even capable of penetrating the Luotian Realm to attack, killing even Po Jun with a single strike. However, it seems to rely on the power of the Primordial Spirit to transmit." "So if one hides in the Luotian Realm to attack, but does not leak Primordial Spirit power out, it should be able to avoid being hit by him." "However, in this way, the attacking ability weakens, and the difficulty of preventing Zhou Bai from approaching the Immortal Ascension Book increases." "Therefore, they did not place their hopes on this but chose another method... by having the Jiu Xiao Marshal, known for his strongest Divine Body that wards off all evils, take action. Let him truly stand in front of Zhou Bai with that body honed through hundreds of battles, blocking Zhou Bai's attack, giving Zhou Bai not the slightest chance to advance." Listening to Diablo Slayer God's analysis, other immortals nodded in agreement, knowing he was right. At the Path to Ascension at this moment, Jiu Xiao Marshal stood like an unimaginably huge, cloud-piercing mountain, blocking Zhou Bai, completely sealing off his path forward. With his Divine Body's strength, the profoundness of the Body Refinement Technique, the degree of tempering his physical body, and the strength of his protective Taoist arts, Jiu Xiao Marshal was perhaps the best among many righteous gods present. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Even most of the immortals and gods here, without using aberration weapons, might not be able to inflict the slightest damage on his Divine Body. Facing such an opponent, it's uncertain whether Zhou Bai can break through him and reach the Immortal Ascension Book, something that even all the immortals cannot determine. Tian Yangzi sighed: "It's a pity the Path to Ascension has locked the space; otherwise, we could go up to stop Jiu Xiao Marshal from taking the stage." The Path to Ascension before them was a barrier that neither the immortals nor the righteous gods could cross, as if cutting the entire hall in two, leading to a situation where neither side could attack the other. Immortal Dao An frowned: "Tian Xuan, do you think Zhou Bai can break through Jiu Xiao?"
