A day had passed inside Zheng-Fu's room...

Phew!!!

"The third stance of the Devil-Conquering Palm Technique really consumes a lot of energy. Plus, it's full of disadvantages as well. Ouch! My back, legs, arms, and every part of me is in pain… Huh... If it's not really that close, I won't use it again until I can perfect it!" Zheng-Fu grumbled wearily after he had spent most of the day restoring the body to its original state.

The use of the incomplete third stance of the Devil-Conquering Palm Technique caused his energy to attack him back. Zheng-Fu had to rush back to his room to restore his energy and body. Using it in this battle was a big gamble for him.

If that failed, the one who would die might be him instead of the elder, because less than five minutes after the stance was released, his body became paralyzed, part by part. If he did not rush to restore or treat these symptoms, he would immediately become a physically deformed person.

"How far is everyone leveling up now?" At that moment, Zheng-Fu remembered that his significant group of people was absorbing the energy from the pills he had given them earlier. But at that moment...

Boom!!!

Groan!!!

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, with a tremor that caused the entire city to tremble. But it did not damage or injure anyone. The sound of explosion and vibration was produced by the leveling up into the Divine Emperor stage of someone.

"Finally, you've succeeded, Elder," said Zheng-Fu, a happy smile occurring at the corner of his mouth.

That was because the person who promoted this time was Elder Hai-Tu, who had been stuck at the ninth level of the Immortal Soul stage for a long time. He was finally able to break through a long-standing problem and became the Divine Emperor stage martial master at the first level.

Of course, this kind of phenomenon was not normal to ignore because the occurrence of someone at the Divine Emperor stage was a very big deal. And this phenomenon was taking place in In-See City and within the Beyond Earth Sect.

Although it was not as intense as Zheng-Fu's phenomenon, it was also possible for the other Divine Emperor stage masters to feel this advancement. Anyway, they could not perceive the exact location like Zheng-Fu's because the energy concentration was lower. Only the nearby kingdoms could sense where this phenomenon pillar took place.

The Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven, the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom…

Huh...?

"Another new Divine Emperor stage master?"

"What's that? How could a new Divine Emperor stage be born in less than two months like this?"

"But where is that new Divine Emperor stage?"

"Probably in Blueland."

Huh...!!!?

"What did you say just now? Blueland!?"

"How is it possible for Blueland to have another Divine Emperor stage master?"

Creak!!!

As the elders and sectmaster of the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven were chatting, the conference room door suddenly opened. A young man ran in, kneeling, and said, "Sectmaster, Master Zhu-Ge-Liu asked to meet you, sir!"

Huh...?

"Master Zhu-Ge-Liu!? Quickly invite him in!"

"Yes, sir! I'll hurry…"

"No need to waste your time. I'm here," suddenly, a deep and cold voice sounded from behind the young man who was about to stand up to lead the voice owner to come in. Then the figure in a black robe appeared for everyone to see and spoke up again, "I came here today because I have an important matter to tell Sectmaster."

"An important matter!? What is it, Master Zhu-Ge-Liu?" said the middle-aged man sitting on a large chair with a firebird inscribed on it, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's about a kid named Zheng-Fu from Blueland. Now that kid can kill our second elder, who has an energy level at the seventh of the Divine Emperor stage, alone without anyone helping. I think Sectmaster would know what to do?" said the black-robed man in a very displeased tone, releasing a terrifying pressure.

"I'll be responsible for this matter. May Master Zhu-Ge-Liu not be so angry. Whatever you want, I'll get it for you if it isn't too much," the middle-aged man, or the sectmaster of the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven, and the king of the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom apologized in a flat tone, seemingly acquiescing but not acquiescing at the same time.

"Huh! Sectmaster, I know you have many treasures in your possession, but for us to lose the Divine Emperor stage master is a huge matter. So, as a worthy compensation for this loss, I'd like one teardrop and one feather of the firebird."

Screech!!!

The middle-aged man suddenly got up upon hearing the black-robed man's request. Because they were the most precious items of the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven, even he, being a sectmaster, could not decide to use them without getting permission from their guardians first.

"I cannot grant your wish because I can't decide on my own. If it's any other thing, I can give it to you," the middle-aged man immediately denied the black-robed man without any hesitation.

Huh!

Whoosh!!!

Just as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a terrifying black energy wave suddenly spread throughout the conference room.

Augh!!!

Thud!!! Thud!!!

The young man who ran in to give a report earlier spat out a huge mouthful of blood once, then fell to the floor and died because his heart was completely destroyed by the pressure of the black-robed man. And the guards outside fell to the ground with tortured expressions as well.

Bang!!!

"Damn it! Do you think this is the place where you can cause havoc!?" At the same time, the middle-aged man sitting next to the sectmaster spoke with an indignant curse. He then released his energy to resist the pressure of the black-robed man.

Whoosh!!!

Bang!!!

"Huh! Just the eighth level of the Emperor stage, and you dare to challenge me!!?" the black-robed man immediately turned to look at the middle-aged man who had risen to curse him with a contemptuous smirk.

"Yo… you… you!!!"

Flop!!!

Suddenly, the sectmaster raised his hand to stop the middle-aged man beside him before saying, "That's enough, Elder of Rules Supervision. I can handle this on my own." After he finished speaking, he unleashed a wave of his energy against the black-robed man's pressure.

Whoosh!!!

Huh...?

"Not bad! Not bad! Your energy level is higher than before, Sectmaster."

When the sectmaster's energy wave collided with the black-robed man's pressure until that pressure disappeared, the arrogant demeanor of the owner disappeared as well.

"It's not that good, Master Zhu-Ge-Liu. I'm still very inexperienced compared to you. But even so, I don't think anyone can easily bully my people, my sect, and also my kingdom," said the sectmaster of the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven, staring blankly at the black-robed man.

"Ha ha ha... Of course... Of course! With the energy of the Divine Emperor stage like you, you'll not allow anyone to destroy your people. But I'd like to warn you of one thing. That kid is not at a normal child's level.

Even though he has a low energy level right now, I believe that soon he will be very strong, so strong that he can stay beyond Earth," the black-robed man stood still again, speaking what he wanted to say to the sectmaster of the Cult of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven and the others in the room.

"Ha ha ha! You don't have to worry about that. I've prepared my troops. Soon I'll lead an army to invade Blueland and crush them to the ground," said the sectmaster with a happy laugh after clearly announcing this matter.

The reason everyone came together today was because of this: leading troops to invade Blueland and completely deleting the name 'Blueland.' This plan would begin after the martial arts maneuvers coming up in the next six months ended. And that time would be a signal to move the army.

"Um... I believe you'll succeed. If not, then the consequences would be unsightly. For you, six months may not seem very long, but for that kid, that's long enough. Well, anyway, this isn't about me anymore. I came here today because I just wanted to inform Sectmaster of this matter and to receive dark, wind, and earth elemental spiritual stones as compensation and damage."

When he finished speaking, the black-robed man instantly disappeared. All that was left was emptiness, with the corpses of the guards surrounding the meeting room.

"Damn it! Who do they think they are to dare to treat us like this? They're just hired assassins but act so arrogantly. Ptui!!"

"Calm down, Elder of Rules Supervision. You were too impatient to talk like that to Master Zhu-Ge-Liu. You should have already known what his energy level is. Or do you want to die?" After the elder of rules supervision finished speaking, the elder on the other side of the sectmaster spoke up.

"Great Elder, I know exactly what level he is and what level I am. But how can I allow him to humiliate us? He didn't even respect Sectmaster and dared kill our people in our place like this!" The elder of rules supervision was furious at this. He held this position for a long time and both loved and respected the sectmaster and this sect very much.

Therefore, when someone insulted them like this, he could not accept it.

"Well, it's over, so just let it end. The most important thing right now is the great maneuver coming up in the next six months. Aside from the Ancient Winter Peak Sect and the Sacred Saber Deity Sect, other sects aren't as intimidating. Therefore, I want you guys to take good care of the disciples who will be competing this time. Don't let anything go wrong."

"Yes, Sectmaster. I'll take care of them and train them harder than ever."

"Good!"

Right now, the entire Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom was very busy preparing for the big martial arts Maneuver coming up in the next six months. Both the location and the facilities had to be prepared for the guests attending the event, including safety management as well.

This maneuver was very important for the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Kingdom because, apart from the people from the big sects who would attend the event, there would also be Six Strange Elders and Three Immortal Masters of Flaming Mountain. Therefore, the sectmaster focused more on this event than on the matter of Blueland.
