"Please forgive me, sir. It's truly because those Human Clan's True Venerables were pressing too hard that we had no choice but to retaliate with full force; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to bring back the divine object."

Feeling the tangible murderous intent in the void, a group of Demon Ancestor Demon Venerables hurriedly explained, while the Demon Ancestor who flatteringly spoke earlier was nervously sweating, not daring to lift his head again.

Coolly observing these demons prostrating before him, the solitary man only withdrew his gaze after a long time. The murderous pressure that had changed the color of the world for miles vanished along with it.

"This is the first time, and it will also be the last time.

If it happens again, there will definitely be a place for you in Iron Encirclement Mountain."

"Understood, understood, thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The group of Demon Ancestor Demon Venerables wiped the sweat from their foreheads and nodded repeatedly.

"Go!"

With a light dismissive shout, the Demon Ancestor Demon Venerables, who didn't dare to stay any longer, got up and paid their respects before fleeing in panic, leaving only the man in the bamboo grove in the blink of an eye.

Looking down at the nine neatly arranged sword fragments on the ground, a faint nostalgic light flashed in the cool, indifferent eyes of the man.

"Finally, we meet again."

With a light wave of his sleeve, the nine fragments on the ground, which appeared ordinary and dull, began to resonate instantly, with beams of divine brilliance shimmering out.

A rustling sound.

In an instant, the nine fragments seemed to respond to some kind of summoning, flying into the air and swirling around the man.

"Heh heh heh."

Seeing the fragments beside him, the man let out a series of light laughs.

If those Demon Ancestor Demon Venerables had seen this scene, they would probably have been scared out of their wits.

Because ever since they met this Supreme Venerable, they had never seen him laugh.

"Come."

After a light chuckle, the man stretched out his palm, and the nine fragments instantly assembled on their own, fitting together seamlessly, transforming into an ancient, unadorned three-foot green blade in a flash.

Slowly gripping the three-foot sword, the man had a profound look in his eyes, as if encompassing all phenomena, and he slowly raised the sword toward the sky, as if challenging some entity, softly murmuring:

"Now... I lack nothing."

...

"Counterattack the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains? When?"

In the Kun Gu Mountain Range, within the mountain gate of the Primordial Sect.

Hearing Dongfang Qing's words made Qi Xiu reveal a hint of surprise, silently pondering in his heart, is it because of the divine object that appeared in the Nine Provinces before?

"Yes, this time the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains have touched the bottom line of the Dao Alliance. Taking away the divine object can be tolerated by the Dao Alliance, but this time a Human Clan's True Venerable has fallen into the hands of the demons.

At this critical juncture of the Calamity, if the Dao Alliance does not retaliate with equivalent force, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains will only become more excessive.

Therefore, the Dao Alliance has decided to organize manpower to counterattack the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

We must make those demons pay for blood with blood!"

Popping a handful of peanuts into his mouth, Dongfang Qing glanced at Qi Xiu, who had already written thousands of pages of True Scripture principles.

Casually picking up a page of True Scripture principles, Dongfang Qing glanced at it, raising an eyebrow:

"Dao Body Chapter?"

"Yes, you know Xiahou's situation. He joined our sect, nullifying the cultivation he painstakingly cultivated over sixty years.

Now he has to start anew and needs to achieve the Dao Body Realm within nineteen years.

The previous 'Primordial True Scripture' was merely a draft, only allowing him to cultivate to the pinnacle of the Bloodstoned Realm.

Therefore, I must quickly compile the contents of the Dao Body Chapter to avoid delaying his realm advancement." Putting down the ink brush, Qi Xiu gently rubbed his temples.

Creating a new True Scripture volume is an exceedingly vast undertaking for a cultivator. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Often it may require the collective efforts of several generations to thoroughly compile and organize a qualified True Scripture volume.

Fortunately, in his journey of cultivation, Qi Xiu had almost entirely absorbed the content of the Primordial Path, merging the essences and discarding the dross from various Daoist inheritances and lineages.

Thus, when he conceived the idea of establishing a sect, he quickly compiled a draft of the 'Primordial True Scripture.'

However, the content of the Initiate Realm and Bloodstained Realm is somewhat shallow.

The Dao Body Realm, however, already touches upon the essence of the Great Dao, and the complete content is far more complex than that of the Initiate Realm and Bloodstained Realm combined.

Qi Xiu spent consecutive days in the Hunyuan Palace, entering the state of [Body Fusion with Dao], gradually deducing and organizing the essence of the Dao Body Chapter of the 'Primordial True Scripture.'

However, such an overload of mental energy consumption greatly exhausted him, and sometimes, if he was not careful, he would start dozing off.

This exhaustion of mental energy led to profound fatigue.

Fortunately, after enduring day and night of hard work during this period, he had organized about ninety percent of the contents of the 'Primordial True Scripture' Dao Body Chapter, which just needed a bit more refining for use in cultivation.

"That child really is a good material, naturally endowed with Dao patterns, with an extraordinary constitution and a resilient character.

If it weren't for his insistence on transferring to your sect at the time, I would have been reluctant to give him to you." Speaking of Xiahou Shan, Dongfang Qing also had a favorable impression of him.

To have cultivated to the fifth layer of the Bloodstin Realm in the span of sixty years, this speed was even slightly faster than Qi Xiu's at the time.

However, the natural Dao patterns are both a blessing and a curse.

If he can successfully break through to the Dao Body Realm, it would be akin to preordaining his position as a Primordial Spirit True Honor.

But if he cannot, not even a Primordial Spirit True Honor can save him.

Nevertheless, judging by the current situation, Xiahou Shan is likely to overcome this hurdle.

His alignment with the Primordial Path was exceptionally high, coupled with Qi Xiu's personal guidance in cultivation, within just a few years, much of the cultivation he had nullified had already been regained, and he was about to advance to the Peak of Dao Entry, preparing to transcend tribulations and ascend to the Bloodstained Realm.
