"I am Jiang Muyun, I've met all of you." Revealing her true form, Zhu Tian stood up and performed a gesture of respect.

'Jiang Muyun, in terms of hierarchy, is the cousin of Jiang Haogang, though their blood connection is three generations apart. The intelligence mentioned that this Nu's Martial Arts are not shallow, suspected to have reached the True Pill Realm. Yet, I never expected that she would actually be a Divine Communication Realm warrior, truly hiding her strength.' Qing Yu thought to himself.

The Jiang Family is the ruler of the East Province, with both inheritance and status being among the top in the world. Naturally, Qing Yu has also reviewed the Jiang Family's dossiers and has a general understanding of them.

However, he never expected that the elusive Patriarch's wife of the Jiang Family would actually be a Divine Communication Realm warrior, and even one of the Nine Heavens.

"I recall that the Jiang Family is an ally of the Ji Family of the Daqian Royal Family, right? Did you join the Nine Heavens out of your personal will, or was it the intention of Jiang Haogang or even the entire Jiang Family?" Qing Yu asked.

"Regardless of whose will it is, I stand with the Nine Heavens, isn't that enough?" Zhu Tian replied with a faint smile.

"It is enough, just hope Zhu Tian you do not betray the Nine Heavens," Shengde Emperor said.

Both he and Qing Yu spoke, drawing all the attention of the Nine Heavens members to the two of them, while Elder Shiming, who had been leading the meeting, was invisibly pushed to the edges.

'Wolves with ambitions, truly wolves with ambitions...' Elder Shiming slightly closed his eyes, not letting the fury in them show.

The fact that Elder Shiming, known for being cunning and profound, became so amiss shows the provocation Qing Yu and Shengde Emperor posed to him.

The Nine Heavens, which he considered his backyard, had two large-tailed wolves infiltrating, and unable to kill them, Elder Shiming's restraint was exceptionally remarkable.

"There is another matter, Bian Tian, why is there no place for me in the newly released Heavenly List?" Shengde Emperor asked again.

The Heavenly List, updated once every sixty years, surprisingly did not include his name, but only Qing Yu, who replaced Heavenly Master Zhang Wenda's position.

Shengde Emperor did not really care for such empty fame; he only concerned himself with his strength, but as the Emperor of Hou Qian, he needed a Heavenly List position to assert his authority and prowess.

However, Elder Shiming did not give him the opportunity, nor to anyone else. If the Heavenly List were to be updated, it should have been when Mu Cangsheng defeated Golden Wolf Khan and relentlessly pursued him.

"The Heavenly List is better being stable; I do not intend to rank the Supreme warriors, if there are those who value the title of this list, they can defeat a Supreme warrior on the list like Xuantian did and replace their position," Elder Shiming opened his eyes, calmly looking at Shengde Emperor.

One had to admit that this old fox's Qi Cultivation was remarkable; in just a few breaths, the negative emotions were suppressed, and he regained his calm.

"Do you think this can provoke a fight among the Supreme warriors?" Shengde Emperor sneered.

If one is unable to see through fame, they wouldn't have reached this Realm.

"Sometimes, reputation is necessary, isn't it?" Elder Shiming retorted, "Especially for some people, just like you."

Reputation is illusory, but sometimes this illusion is heavier than tangible objects. Supreme warriors may not care about fame and fortune, but what they bring cannot always be ignored by others.

Like Shengde Emperor, he needs a reputation to manifest his imperial power, ensuring that his domain remains stable and the Hundred Officials are more loyal.

Qing Yu also required the Taoist sects to offer their loyalty, thanks to his reputation after defeating Heavenly Master Zhang.

Elder Shiming's tactic wasn't exactly practical, but it required no cost to him, after all, he didn't lose out.

However, there is a hint of suppression towards Shengde Emperor in this.

"Let it be, that's enough for today," Qing Yu said, "I still need to prepare for the unification of the Taoist sects, so I won't linger. Everyone, if you are willing to help, Qing Yu will remember it gratefully."

Having said that, Qing Yu left the Heavenly Vault, as if he were the one presiding over the meeting.

"Since Xuantian seeks assistance, I will certainly lend my utmost support," Ren Piaomiao said, "Everyone, I will take my leave as well."

"It seems there will be a good show to watch," Zhu Tian said, covering her mouth with a light laugh.

Usually, it waits for Elder Shiming or Jun Heaven to mention ending before others gradually leave, but this time, someone started overstepping authority. They proved to everyone that the Nine Heavens was no longer a one-man rule.

"It just makes our alliance relationship fairer." Shengde Emperor said.

"Bian Tian, this change is destined and you cannot stop it."

The Nine Heavens have always been a loose alliance. In the past, when only Sword God was solitary powerful, everyone heeded his orders.

But now, with the emergence of the second and third Supreme warriors, even if Sword God is strong, he cannot stop the varied intentions.

To this, Elder Shiming could only keep a gloomy face, silent.

He also knew it couldn't be stopped because four of the Heavens have already united, and if they truly utilize force to cleanse, regardless of the outcome, the Nine Heavens will no longer exist.

"Then let's hope You Tian did not die under Sword God's blade." Hao Tiansan Lan Cang also left the Heavenly Vault with a hint of a smile.

In reality, apart from Elder Shiming, others were more willing to change the past one-man dominance.

They are not ones to offer loyalty to Sword God either, having their own thoughts. Such a triadic situation is actually more suitable for these foxes with varied intentions.

"This is the change that power brings..." Qing Yu, who left the Heavenly Vault, reflected.

The past self always suppressed his thoughts, only taking action after meticulous calculations. But now, Qing Yu was unleashing his full potential.

All of this started after the battle with Heavenly Master Zhang.

Through the battle with Heavenly Master Zhang, Qing Yu validated his own strength and adjusted his behavior patterns. Whether it was unifying the Taoist sects head-on or joining Shengde Emperor in challenging Sword God's authority, it was all due to the change in strength.

"Forcing Dragon Tiger Mountain to seal itself, apart from Supreme Taoist Sect, within the Taoists, only the Zhenwu Sect remains dominant. Now the only concern is just the Supreme Taoist and the anomalously changing Xuan Du."

Qing Yu pondered, "The Supreme Taoist Sect is too mysterious; even within Zhenwu Sect, there are not many related records. It seems, still need to find a way..."

"There is indeed a way for that."

The founder of the Zhenwu Sect, Emperor Zhenwu, was once one of the disciples who listened under the Dao Ancestor, although not direct lineage, but his understanding of the Supreme Inheritor should not be minimal.

In fact, the Zhenwu Heaven-opening Sword of the Zhenwu Sect bears traces of the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture", as Emperor Zhenwu intended to compare the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist Sect. Since that is the case, then he should have considerable knowledge about the Supreme Taoist Sect.
