"It looks like Er Ha, this NPC, has been updated without making a sound," Huang Tianyao remarked, "In the past, you could only learn Black Tiger Martial Arts from Black Tiger Escort Agency… Those skills are third-rate in Jianghu, and that's not even the worst part; you could only reach up to the Sixth Grade Internal Breath Realm, which is a real rip-off! Now, at last, there's a path to level up!"

Jiang Shang nodded repeatedly, "The martial arts that are recorded can be taught, and there are even rewards for perfect resurrection times based on how much they're treasured… It looks like the original Skill Books are going to go up in price."

"It seems that Mages have the upper hand here; a Skill Book can only be used by one person, unlocking exclusive skill trees. Indeed, becoming a Daoist is a rare profession, I'm so jealous of 'Benevolent Mother Holds the Middle Ground'!"

"Lingling Loves Food" sighed.

Jiang Shang also sighed.

Inheriting the way of the Daoist, he had found a Daoist scripture through his guild from a Ninth Grade Daoist.

But Er Ha simply wouldn't accept it!

If you wanted the job, you had to train yourself!

And then, just the initial meditation part had him stuck until now!

Jiang Shang had to admit that the majority of players were of mediocre talent, not some martial arts or cultivation prodigies.

Lin Fan was an exception, not a standard by which to judge.

One could only obediently accept the divine empowerment from Er Ha!

...

Seven Luminaries Heaven.

Zhong Shenxiu's true form turned into indistinct mist, and then immediately condensed back into human shape.

"The ritual I designed indeed accelerates the digestion of the 'Light of Order'… The unification of my various selves allows me to feel that the digestion of the 'Light of Order' has sped up a bit…"

He looked at the furnishings in the room and suddenly reached out to grab.

A bronze statue disintegrated into countless streams of data in an instant.

Then it reappeared in his hand.

"The divinity of unity is a terrifying thing, the authority of the 'Light of Order' can even digitalize the entire Seven Luminaries Heaven—if the True God does not intervene to stop it!"

"And once it accomplishes that, I would be the creator, the Creator God! I could easily restart the world or unleash the end of the world, remelt the earth, wind, water, and fire…"

"Even now, further mastering the 'Key of the Heart' gives me the ability to digitize and data-fy… This is a fundamental change from above the rules, the most essential change… with an extremely high priority, even an Immortal Casting Off the Corpse might not be able to resist…"

At this moment, while Zhong Shenxiu was looking to the west, toward the Western Expedition Protectorate, he sensed a ripple of change in the order.

He stepped out of the room and entered the main hall.

Lord Qingyuan happened to be there, with a charming smile, "What would my lord like to eat for dinner? I've heard that the East Sea Seven-Star Spirit Eel is in season…"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it with you."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed, looked up at the sky, and heard the voice of the Unity True Monarch, "I summon the East Splendor Daoist True Monarch!"

When the Imperial Family conducts affairs, they are most concerned with protocols, and such invitations are usually delivered by a ceremonial officer.

But now it was the True Monarch himself extending the direct invitation. Obviously, the situation was extremely serious and urgent!

Zhong Shenxiu gave Lord Qingyuan a gentle smile to comfort her slightly worried expression, stepped forward, and in an instant, disappeared from sight.

...

Heavenly Jade Terrace in the sky.

This is a Spiritual Treasure that stretches over the sky of Emperor City Changluo, appearing as a cloud.

After Zhong Shenxiu arrived, he not only saw the Unity True Monarch but also the Nine Spirit Dragon Mother Primordial Monarch.

Behind this Primordial Monarch, there were eight avatars, some male, some female, some old, some young, but within their human features seemed to lie the bodies of dragon beasts.

'Nine Spirit Dragon Mother Primordial Monarch has nine children as avatars. This time eight have come, evidently pulling out all the stops…'

Zhong Shenxiu thought to himself that gender didn't really matter for a Dharma Body; this Nine Spirit Dragon Mother Primordial Monarch was said to have once been male…

"Is something happening in the Western Regions?" Zhong Shenxiu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Indeed, in the previous conflict between the east and west, our Corpse-Resolved Immortal was both wounded and exhausted alongside Enrique and the 9th-ranked individual from the Bauhinia Kingdom... We originally thought we'd have twenty years of peace, but unexpectedly, the Western Court Empire has reignited the war recently. Just now, we received urgent frontline reports confirming the involvement of the Western Court Empire, with the Western Expedition Protectorate utterly destroyed... The Western Expedition Great Protector has fallen in battle! The Golden Origin Vast Qi Sect and the Nine Sword Sect have been annihilated..."

Unity True Monarch spoke without much heartache, as these were not forces directly under the Imperial Family.

"Has the situation deteriorated to such an extent?" Zhong Shenxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"We're not entirely unprepared. A grand array has been arranged at the Fufeng Protectorate, but we urgently need a True Monarch to preside over it to prevent it from being broken in a single charge!" Nine Spirit Dragon Mother Primordial Monarch said.

"What about our Corpse-Resolved Immortal?" Of course, he wasn't asking the Imperial Family, but rather the representatives from the Taiping Sect and Miao Ji Zhen Sect.

"Several Immortals were injured before, and furthermore, they need to constrain the 9th-ranked enemy..."

Unity True Monarch said.

It seemed that after the tragedy of Clement, the supreme combatants of both sides were somewhat afraid.

The Corpse-Resolved Immortals feared the Western kingdoms summoning a True God again.

And Western professionals likewise feared the might of a True God!

"So, this time the main force in the interception battle is the Dharma Body?" Zhong Shenxiu nodded, this he could fight.

And in terms of survival, he was even more formidable than the Nine Spirit Dragon Mother Primordial Monarch.

Now being considered half-affiliated with the royal family, he naturally had to contribute. He immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Please guide me, True Monarch!"

"Very well. This Jade Terrace artifact is a Spiritual Treasure refined from nine thousand six hundred and twenty-seven Void Talismans, and it can take us there right now."

Unity True Monarch pinched a spell, shouting, "Quick!"

In a blink, the world around them changed.

Looking down from the Jade Terrace, Zhong Shenxiu saw plumes of smoke and flares of war rising not far beneath the firmament.

Numerous Western knights, leading armies of different races, were ravaging the land below.

The surrounding scenery even evoked a sense of familiarity in him.

"Is this place... the Fufeng Protectorate?!" He suddenly realized.

"The Fufeng Protectorate is guarded by the Nine Dragon Pearl Array. This array was constructed by the court, after much introspection from past territorial recoveries, spending a fortune despite a certain flaw..."

Unity True Monarch said, "I will preside over the Array, and I leave this area to you two."

With that, he steered the Jade Terrace like a streak of light, disappearing from view.

Nine Spirit Dragon Mother Primordial Monarch chuckled lightly as her eight incarnations thundered down, merging in mid-air. By the time they landed, they had transformed into a terrifying blood-flesh behemoth.

Its core was a hive formed by entangling dragon tails, from which numerous bizarre dragon bodies and wicked dragon heads emerged.

Sheets of blood-red fungal mats materialized around the evil beast, consuming the flesh and blood nearby, and giving rise to countless evil dragon beasts.

Merely witnessing this Dharma Body was enough to drive countless ordinary people mad to death.

The impact of a Dharma Body on the battlefield was immense, comparable to walking nuclear weapons.

Zhong Shenxiu's gaze sharpened as he noticed another part of the battle, where the canopy of heaven was painted with dark yellow hues.

Yellow Heaven Dharma Body!

"Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch, he's also arrived!"
