Tianxuan directly swept his Divine Sense over the letter, and after discerning the information inside, he nodded slightly to Li Guanming and then left with everyone else.

After their figures had disappeared into the distance, Li Guanming returned to Shen Hou's side and asked, "Uncle Master, are we really not going to deal with the matter of the Great Circle Sword? There might be fragments left, and it has even fallen into Jiang Li's hands…"

"The Dinghu Sect still has a feud with the Kunxu Immortal Palace, yet they are putting it aside for the greater good. If they can put it aside, can't we?" Shen Hou said indifferently, "The message came to us at this time, do you think it's here to help us? It's meant to provoke us against Jiang Li."

"The truth of the message is unknown, and even if it's true, the Sword Discussion Conference has already passed. What good is it to retrieve the fragments now? It's better to create a good bond. In my opinion," he continued, "Jiang Li has the stature of third-grade power. Gaining future third-grade favor for a fragment is a win for us."

...

...

The city mansion was destroyed, so everyone made their way to the Two Saints Temple outside the city.

Tianxuan decided to use the Divine Farmer Hall as their temporary residence. The master and disciple duo then meditated in the hall for three days to avoid any rumors.

Once inside the Divine Farmer Hall, Tianxuan handed the letter to Jiang Li and said, "Have a look."

Jiang Li took it and glanced at it, then calmly closed it and said, "It must be news sent by the Kunxu Immortal Palace or the Jiang family."

Only they could have such a suspicion. Inside the West Beauty Mirror, Jiang Li, in order to kill Da Feng and Zaochi, had exposed the Great Circle Sword. Though he did not display all its capabilities, it was enough for some conjecture.

Tianxuan nodded slightly, then suddenly asked an unrelated question, "What is your opinion of King Shu?"

"King Shu?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li was initially startled and then recalling what he had seen earlier, he said, "He resides in a pure and majestic place, but compared to his status, it seems modest, either he's truly detached or he's biding his time."

King Shu's behavior has always appeared to be the former, but there is a possibility for the latter as well.

"If King Shu truly marries Yun Fei from the Kunxu Immortal Palace, then it's the latter," Tianxuan said indifferently, "Aside from the Second Palace Master, the other palace masters of Kunxu Immortal Palace are not satisfied with obscurity."

And to marry someone who is not satisfied with obscurity indicates that he himself is likely the same.

"Master, do you suspect the message came from the Kunxu Immortal Palace?" Jiang Li asked.

Unlike the Jiang family, who wished for chaos across the world, the Great Palace Master, the Immortal Queen, only aimed for promotion, but if connected with a prince not satisfied with obscurity, the scenario might be different.

Which also might mean that the guardian of the Golden Dam might be contemplating its collapse.

"Whether it is or isn't, observing the outcome of the fourth-grade battle will reveal the truth," Tianxuan said.

Many things that claim to be as secure as a golden soup have backdoors. Once utilized, they will collapse instantly, but the Golden Dam doesn't have one. From the inception of the Golden Dam, there was no intention to collapse it willingly, and thus even the Great Zhou forces looking to breach the dam could only destroy it violently, unable to use other methods.

Theoretically, if King Shu wants to provoke the dam's breach, he can only rely on third-grade powers.

Thus, it suffices to see whether King Shu is exerting his full effort.

Jiang Li couldn't help but remark, "It appears that the advantage is with us, but truly, it is our side that is rife with undercurrents."

Though the enemy is discordant, at least they are united in their want to destroy the Golden Dam.

On the other hand, it seems that Heavenly Monarch Gongsun Qi might be involved with Ji Jiji, King Shu may be restless, and the Kunxu Immortal Palace is watching Tianxuan, with numerous individuals within the court pushing for the Taiping Sect's rebellion, causing holes everywhere.

Great Zhou's Sacrificial Altar has remained stable through eight hundred years, but suddenly without the Emperor, all kinds of demons and deities have emerged.

"However, it's precisely because the land is filled with demons and monsters that I have my chance," he thought. "If Great Zhou were not in chaos, I'd truly have no choice but to rely on my senior sister as an affiliated son-in-law, idly eating away her kindness. Instead, here I am, able to eat two bowls."

Jiang Li's mind was swirling with thoughts that could be considered rebellious. He felt more active and agile than ever before.

Although he now had control over his exceptional wisdom, the liveliness it brought to his mind was ever-present, filling Jiang Li with an abundance of ideas.

Like right now, his gaze fell upon Tianxuan, and his heart stirred restlessly.

"This marriage line is getting thicker; it wasn't in vain that I endured a strike of Heavenly Thunder for it."

A hundred miles away on a high mountain, a blurred figure shrouded in clouds and mist was looking in the direction of Jun City and nodding repeatedly as he stroked his chin. "Very good, very good. I'm leaving the task of continuing the Feng family line to you. Sigh, it's rather sad when I think about it."

The man turned around, looking behind him, "Even though there are young ones in my family, we still have to rely on an outsider to carry on the family legacy."

Not far behind him, a figure stood upright like a sword, clad in blue clothes. Upon hearing the man's words, he calmly said, "In practicing the Sword Dao, one must focus wholly, sever emotional ties, and only then can one succeed."

A young man with a stern face spoke in a rhythmic tone, "Military God's Weapons, beneath the Golden Dam, to retrieve them, one must first destroy it."

"The idea of suppressing one of the Military God's Five Weapons under the Golden Dam is good. But unfortunately, no matter how good the idea, it can't stop the desires of future generations," the blurred figure shook his head and chuckled. "The one sealed in the Divine Farmer's Cauldron disappeared when Jiang Tao died, and no one knows when the one in the Royal Family's Inner Treasury vanished. Of the remaining three, one was given to Tianxuan as a gift when Jiang Li became a disciple and then it was sealed inside the secret place of Dinghu Sect. You should be able to get it, too."

When he said "you," his gaze was unfocused, evidently not directed at the young man.

"In the past, the Warlord Dao Fruit was divided and sealed within the Military God's Five Weapons. Our ancestors thought it was foolproof, but who knew that within a few hundred years signs of them emerging would appear."

"Is the collapse of the Golden Dam unstoppable?" asked the young man behind with a frown.

"If I am willing to help, it can still be stopped. But I think, rather than keeping the Military God's Five Weapons under the Golden Dam, it would be safer in my hands," the blurred figure replied with a smile. "What do you think?"

"Troublemaker," the young man said bluntly.

"If I am a troublemaker, what does that make you, bringing news of the Military God's Five Weapons?"

Hearing the mockery, the blurred figure was unconcerned; instead, he laughed heartily, "Besides, if I didn't stir up storms in this world, how dull and boring would it be?"

The vague figure slowly swelled, and amidst the spreading mist, a red dragon's body emerged, giant dragon eyes suspended like the sun and moon, a tangible gaze falling on the young man. In an instant, numerous illusions overlapped on his body, countless lights flashing past.

The young man's Qi mechanism changed in an instant, and within not even ten breaths, his Qi had expanded to the fifth-grade realm.

Zheng!

The sound of a sword cry arose, with streaks of sword light cruising through the air, fierce Sword Qi piercing through the skies, leaving scar-like traces high above.

"All your time has been returned to you by me; now you represent the Desolate God Sect in battle and test Jiang Li's current strength," the voice of Candle Dragon boomed like the roaring wind and thunder.

And the young man, feeling the long-lost power, slowly gripped the hilt of his sword, his qi and blood boiling, subtle scale patterns appearing on his cheeks, his pupils elongating into slits.

"Dragon and Snake Body, long time no see."
