“You!”
“How is it possible!”
Even until his death, the Second Elder couldn't believe that even after demonizing himself to boost his power, he was still no match for Gong Cangtian in a single move. However, compared to that, he was even more puzzled as to how Gong Cangtian, who was supposed to be doomed, had suddenly become so strong!
Yet, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't fathom that the one who orchestrated this outcome was none other than Ye Xuan, the very person he intended to destroy.
Of course, none of that mattered anymore, as the dead could never change anything.
At a certain moment!
“Hmph~”
A cold voice echoed through the void to the ears of the Qingyun Sect powerhouses. In the next instant, Gong Cangtian appeared in the arena. “The Second Elder is dead. Do you still intend to continue this bloodshed!”
“Plop~”
Upon hearing their Sect Master's words, the Qingyun Sect powerhouses present dared not defy him in the slightest. They immediately knelt down, “We dare not!”
They had only dared to follow the Second Elder after learning of their Sect Master's supposed demise. Now that their Sect Master had returned, stronger than ever, they naturally would not stand on the wrong side. And most importantly, the Second Elder was already dead.
“Hmph~!”
“I doubt you have the guts.”
Gong Cangtian glanced at the crowd in the arena, then flicked his finger. Over a hundred beams of light instantly pierced through the foreheads of over a hundred Qingyun Sect disciples. Without exception, these were all the Second Elder's faction, and Nalan Yinde was among them.
“From this day forward, the Qingyun Sect will join Dongxuan City!”
Whoosh~~
As Gong Cangtian uttered these words, the Qingyun Sect powerhouses were all stunned and looked at their Sect Master. Joining Dongxuan City? What was going on? Their Qingyun Sect was far stronger than Dongxuan City.
What was their Sect Master trying to do?
However, the powerhouses of Dongxuan City looked towards the City Lord's Mansion with deep meaning.
“My goodness, it seems the City Lord is even more mysterious than we imagined~~”
For a moment, everyone was filled with apprehension. The fact that even the Qingyun Sect was joining Dongxuan City implied so much. At the same time, their desire to join Dongxuan City grew even stronger.
“Yes, Sect Master!!”
Although shocked beyond measure, they did not dare to show any hesitation in their response. Under the watchful eyes of countless people in Dongxuan City, the Qingyun Sect was thus merged into Dongxuan City.
City Lord's Mansion, atop its architecture.
Gong Cangtian stood beside Ye Xuan, overlooking the entire Dongxuan City.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of saving Qingyun Sect Master Gong Cangtian and subjugating the Qingyun Sect. Reward: 100 million Divine Coins, with an additional 3 billion Low-Grade Divine Crystals!”
The system's reward announcement sounded, and Ye Xuan then brought up his status panel.

…
As expected, Ye Xuan smiled upon seeing the system panel. Both the Divine Crystals and wealth had increased significantly, making it impossible not to be happy.
“However, the strength of Divine King Fourth Heaven is indeed a bit too weak now.”
Ye Xuan pursed his lips as he spoke. Gong Cangtian beside him was already at the peak of Divine King Ninth Heaven, only one step away from the Divine Lord realm.
“My Lord, what are your plans next?”
As Ye Xuan recovered his senses, Gong Cangtian's voice reached his ears. Though asked casually, Gong Cangtian was quite serious.
After all!
With the Qingyun Sect now joining Dongxuan City, the future development of Dongxuan City would directly impact the Qingyun Sect's future.
“Oh~!”
Hearing Gong Cangtian's words, Ye Xuan saw the flicker in his eyes and naturally understood his unspoken meaning, but did not expose it. He then gazed into the distance, not forgetting the tasks of the Nine Trials of the God Realm.
He would definitely reach the Divine Lord realm within ten years. As for a Grade Three Divine Kingdom, he could only do his best.
“As for what's next…”
“I plan to establish a Divine Kingdom.”
Hmm!!
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Gong Cangtian’s eyes lit up. As he had predicted, he had either established a sect or pursued the path of a Divine Kingdom.
“If My Lord intends to establish a Divine Kingdom, this old man and the Qingyun Sect will wholeheartedly support you!!”
Originally, Gong Cangtian had intentions of advancing to a Grade One force, but the timing was not yet ripe. Now, with Ye Xuan's abundant resources and foundation, he naturally would not refuse.
Because only by becoming a Divine Kingdom and such a force could there be more resources, although risks also came hand in hand. Da Feng Novel Network.
“Thank you, Sect Master Gong.”
“I will undoubtedly need to trouble Sect Master Gong for a period of time.”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and then said, “As for the name of the Divine Kingdom, I have already decided. It will be called the Xuantian Divine Kingdom. Dongxuan City and the Qingyun Sect will form the foundation of the Xuantian Divine Kingdom.”
“Xuantian Divine Kingdom!!”
Upon hearing the name of the Divine Kingdom Ye Xuan decided on, Gong Cangtian savored it for a moment before nodding. The name was excellent, pleasant to the ear and imposing. In the future, under his leadership, the Xuantian Divine Kingdom would surely become a formidable power in the God Realm.
Don't ask him why he was so sure.
It was a joke. Even if he didn’t believe Ye Xuan, he had to believe in the decisions of the Exquisite Divine Emperor, right? Moreover, Ye Xuan, who was less than ten thousand years old and already possessed the strength of Divine King Fourth Heaven, could only imagine his future potential.
“This name is good. I will begin preparations next.”
Gong Cangtian nodded. Whether it was a Divine Kingdom or a force, he had been preparing for many years and was well aware of all the intricacies involved.
And this…
Was another important reason why Ye Xuan had subjugated the Qingyun Sect. After all, he would absolutely not do something he could delegate. Of course, Gong Cangtian was also happy about it.
After all, achieving a great cause was his and the First Elder's long-cherished wish!
Although the First Elder had fallen, Gong Cangtian would surely lead the Qingyun Sect to prosperity, carrying the First Elder's aspirations.
“Oh, right.”
After a long conversation, Gong Cangtian thought of something. “My Lord, I may need to return to the Qingyun Sect. A few days ago…”
Hearing Gong Cangtian's words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be taken aback. “Extraterrestrial Demon Race!?”
“Two-winged Black Angel!!”
Hearing Gong Cangtian’s words, Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered, lost in thought. “Perhaps, I can lend Sect Master Gong a hand.”
“Oh!”
Upon hearing this, Gong Cangtian narrowed his eyes. If it were an ordinary Divine King Fourth Heaven expert saying this, he would naturally disdain it. However, if it were Ye Xuan, it would be a different matter entirely. After all, anyone favored by the Exquisite Divine Emperor could be surmised to be extraordinary.
Perhaps… together with him, they could even deal with the Two-winged Black Angel. He recalled how the King of Slaughter, with his peak Divine King Fourth Heaven strength, was sufficient to threaten a Divine King Seventh Heaven expert. He secretly held onto this hope.
