"Still cannot make a move?" Shenzi frowned after hearing Tianzhi's words. The Shenyu Continent and even he himself had made all the preparations, but just as they were about to depart, Tianzhi suddenly appeared before him.
Tianzhi glanced at Shenzi and said indifferently, "If you want to go to your death, you can go now."
Shenzi's expression sank at his words, but he quickly recovered and looked at Tianzhi, saying, "With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to restrain that woman. Is there someone behind her?"
Shenzi instantly understood. If Tianzhi could deal with the woman, he wouldn't be here stopping him. However, being led by the nose like this, Shenzi felt a bit annoyed.
Tianzhi's expression was also a bit solemn, "If I make a move, I can indeed restrain her. But the feeling she gives me is not as simple as it seems. Even as the guardian of that destined person, the information she has revealed is too little."
"Since that's the case, why not let the 'Nitianzhe' make a move directly? With the 'Nitianzhe' taking action, what waves can that woman stir up?" Shenzi asked.
Tianzhi snorted, "If the 'Nitianzhe' knew the whereabouts of the destined person, do you think you and I could still get a share of the spoils? Moreover, even if the 'Nitianzhe' makes a move, how can you be sure that woman has no backup?"
"We cannot let the 'Nitianzhe' know, and we cannot make a move. In that case, are we powerless?" Shenzi asked, a hint of ferocity flashing across his face.
Tianzhi nodded, "Expanding our Spirit God World is not urgent. The destiny of the destined person is our priority. Since that woman is not making a proactive move, we will temporarily wait for the five years she set. During this time, I can also break through."
Shenzi's gaze shifted as he looked at Tianzhi, "Are you going to take that step?"
Tianzhi nodded slightly, "I observed her sword energy that day, and it seemed to contain something different. It's time to take that step after so many years of being stuck. Once I do, you and I will act together, and the destiny of the destined person will be within our grasp."
Shenzi's face lit up with joy, "Then we will wait for another four years. Once you break through, our Spirit God World will surely reach new heights!"
Deep within the River of Time.
Under the guidance of the Great Emperor of Time, strands of temporal power flowed into Li Xuan's body. As Li Xuan absorbed the power of time, his soul also gained insights within it. In just a few months, Li Xuan's aura became increasingly profound and obscure.
"Your body is truly terrifying, young friend, like a bottomless pit, capable of absorbing endlessly. For anyone else, the temporal power absorbed in these few months would have likely caused them to explode."
The Great Emperor of Time had been quite shocked by Li Xuan's changes over these months. While marveling, he also increased the flow of power. After another ten days or so, Li Xuan's aura had already approached the Temporal Realm.
Concurrently, on the Immortal Realm Continent, Jian Nancang, Wu Wuji, and others also gathered.
Although the Shenyu Continent had not yet invaded, the armies of the three major powers of the Shenyu Continent were already pressing down from the outer void. A battle between the two sides was only a matter of time, and their gathering was to discuss the best course of action.
The core disciples of each faction were currently in seclusion. With the news arriving, it was almost a state of total mobilization.
"You discussing here for a year probably won't yield any good methods," as an old man's voice fell, Liuli's figure appeared before everyone.
"Who are you?" Liuli's appearance immediately put everyone on guard. Every spiritual sense they sent out was instantly repelled, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Seeing them looking at her as if facing a great enemy, Liuli shook her head and said, "If this is all the Immortal Realm Continent has to offer, I fear it will be swallowed by the Shenyu Continent even without the Shenyu Continent's intervention."
"This humble monk, Abbot Jiechen of Bu'er Temple, greets you, young lady. May I ask for your esteemed opinion?" As Liuli finished speaking, an old monk clasped his hands together and asked.
Everyone looked at Liuli. From their previous sensations, they had already realized that this woman's strength was far beyond theirs. Since Liuli had not attacked, she was clearly an ally, not an enemy. Moreover, such a powerful individual wouldn't come here without a reason.
Liuli glanced at everyone and then said indifferently, "Doesn't your Immortal Realm Continent have an immortal mountain? Although there are gods in the Shenyu Continent, your Immortal Realm Continent has been able to resist for so many years not just because of you. You are holding a precious sword but are using a chopping knife."
"Immortal Mountain... Young lady, you may not know, but only those of us present can ascend this immortal mountain. Others cannot withstand its pressure. Furthermore, we have ascended it before and did not find any strong individuals." a middle-aged man said.
Liuli smiled, "If you could have gone a step further, you wouldn't have to wait until now. The secret of the immortal mountain is something you natives of the Immortal Realm Continent might not be able to understand. I can help remove the restrictions on the immortal mountain. What you do next is up to you."
"Does the young lady mean opening the immortal mountain to the younger generation?" Jiechen asked, as if he had an epiphany.
Liuli nodded, "Your Immortal Realm Continent once had immortals. Otherwise, how could you have resisted the Shenyu Continent for so many years? Although the immortals have perished, their essence remains. Your hope can only lie with the younger generation."
Jiechen and the others exchanged shocked glances. It was clear they were unaware that the Immortal Realm Continent had once had immortals. As the leaders of various factions, they exchanged glances and then simultaneously looked at Liuli.
"We are willing to follow your instructions!"
