NOVPUB"What is this," everyone was a bit confused at this sight, unable to grasp the situation.
Even Xu Zimei hesitated for a moment.
After the Book of Life and Death flew into his True Fate World, it actually hid itself away.
"Did you take away the Book of Life and Death?" the Heavenly Curtain War God asked in surprise.
"It seems to have entered my body and hidden itself," Xu Zimei pondered briefly before responding.
He couldn’t possibly tell others about the Divine Continent, so naturally, he could only say that.
"Can you try to summon it?" the Ancestor of the Heavenly Blade asked expectantly from the side.
Xu Zimei shook his head slightly, saying, "It’s not under my control; I estimate that I won’t be able to mobilize it for some time."
He needed to go back and study the Book of Life and Death slowly; for the time being, he couldn’t show the Divine Continent to the others.
After all, creating a world was too shocking and unheard of.
"Not sure if the Book of Life and Death is good or bad, but now that it has entered your body, we have no way to deal with it, so be careful on your own," said the Heavenly Curtain War God.
"I’ve also spoken to the spirit of the Life-and-Death Cave in the outside world, and you can come find me at any time if there’s any problem."
"Thanks to all the ancestors," Xu Zimei bowed slightly and said.
"Go on, work hard on your destiny, but be sure not to die under that destiny," the Heavenly Curtain War God advised.
Xu Zimei nodded, then turned and left the Endless Mountain.
Watching Xu Zimei’s departing figure, the Heavenly Curtain War God looked at the other two and asked, "What do you think?"
"He’s not simple at all. I’ve seen the Saint Heirs of several eras, but he is the only one I can’t see through," the Traveler said from the side.
"All those Saint Heirs, when meeting us ancestors, who among them isn’t panicking? Only he is calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, a real piece of fine material," the Ancestor of the Heavenly Blade also nodded approvingly and commented.
"I know all that. What I’m asking about is his True Fate," the Heavenly Curtain War God said.
"What exactly is that thing? It even makes me feel alarmed."
"Why think so much? Everyone has their own fate, and maybe this era’s Great Emperor will emerge from our True Martial Holy Sect," the Traveler said with a laugh.
...
After leaving Endless Mountain and the Life-and-Death Cave, Xu Zimei returned to the valley.
Right now, the core disciples around were waiting for Xu Zimei to come out.
As they saw that Xu Zimei was still not appearing, many began to speculate with some unease.
"Could it be that this guy really went in?" someone asked.
As they were discussing, they saw Xu Zimei walking out from the Life-and-Death Cave leisurely.
"Zimo, how did it go?" Lin Ruhu hurried forward and asked.
"Just like that, had a chat with the ancestors and then came out," Xu Zimei replied.
"You really met the ancestors?" Xiang Qianheng asked in surprise from the side.
Xu Zimei nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the other disciples present, and he shook his head with a sigh, "Useless, all of you!"
Watching Xu Zimei’s retreating figure, Xu Zimei silently took a deep breath.
"I’ll give it a try," some disciples who had not gone in also began to enter.
After leaving the back mountain, Xu Zimei prepared to visit the Scripture Pavilion to look up some things and parted ways with Lin Ruhu.
Xu Zimei intended to research related to the Heavenly Dao Academy, including the Red Dust Palace and Stone Race.
After all, this was his focus for the upcoming period.
Upon arriving at the Scripture Pavilion, Xu Zimei, with his status as the Saint Heir, went straight to the third floor.
After all, the True Martial Holy Sect’s truly secret documents were all stored on the third floor.
As for the fourth floor, it housed the legacies of the four Great Emperors.
He flipped through several books, among them the "Era of Heavenly Dao Academy," "Red Dust Palace of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands," and "Hidden World of the Stone Race."
Xu Zimei roughly read through all the relevant books.
This look lasted an entire week.
The intelligence work of the True Martial Holy Sect must be said to be indeed very strong.
Many hidden messages could be found within the Sect Gate.
Though it was located in the corner of the Extreme West Region of the Eastern Continent, it basically had control over the changes of the entire Continent.
The intelligence of the True Martial Holy Sect spread throughout the five continents.
After more than seven days, Xu Zimei finally left the Scripture Pavilion.
He had come to understand almost all the information he had wanted to know.
Upon returning to Goose Southern Peak, Xu Zimei began his cultivation practice.
He planned to first master the Gate of Immortality from the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate, and then consolidate the vortex of power within his Divine Soul.
The time spent in closed-door cultivation wasn’t long when his father, Xu Qingshan, sent someone to find him.
By the time he returned to Azure Mountain Peak, the season had already begun to shift toward winter.
It wasn’t heavy snowfall, but there were still a few snowflakes gently falling down.
The trees on Azure Mountain Peak remained a vibrant green.
The white expanse of snowflakes blanketed the branches, blending the lush green with the pristine white.
As Xu Zimei ascended the mountain, he found that four people had already gathered there.
They were Xiang Qianheng, Sword Twenty-One, Xia Zihe, and Jiang Xier.
When Xu Zimei arrived, the others didn’t say much, but only Jiang Xier had a flickering gaze.
Sixth Elder Xiao Yuexuan had already come out from confinement.
Although she had many wrongs, over the years she had contributed a lot to the Sect.
Under the indication from Sect Master Xiao, the Baili Family and the True Martial Holy Sect could now be considered allied.
Baili Xiao was not only the Saintess of the Baili Family, but she had also returned the Flying Immortal Body, representing a part of the True Martial Holy Sect’s disciples.
Xu Zimei could foresee such an outcome.
If Baili Xiao were just an ordinary disciple, the True Martial Holy Sect wouldn’t care at all.
But setting other matters aside, just the fact that she was the Empress’s chief disciple meant that the True Martial Holy Sect would not become her enemy.
The more people there were striving for Destiny, the greater the hope naturally became.
Dealing with Baili Xiao’s matter was naturally something Xu Zimei had to resolve himself.
...
"Father," Xu Zimei greeted.
Xu Qingshan nodded, his hands clasped behind his back, and said, "I’ve called you few here because there’s something I need to tell you."
"Is it about the Heavenly Martial Meeting?" Xiang Qianheng seemed to know something and asked ahead of time.
"That’s right, you all have probably heard the rumours before, the once-per-century Heavenly Martial Meeting will officially commence soon.
Traditionally, each session of the Heavenly Martial Meeting is held in turn by the eight Great Emperor Immortal Sects of our Eastern Continent.
This year, it just so happens to be the Baili Family’s turn," Xu Qingshan explained.
"The Heavenly Martial Meeting is the largest competition in our Eastern Continent. Not only will our eight Great Emperor Immortal Sects send disciples to participate,
countless first-rate and second-rate forces from the Eastern Continent will also take part.
Especially since the era’s Destiny is about to descend, this meeting holds extraordinary significance."
"Does the Deputy Sect Master mean to have us represent the Sect in the competition?" Sword Twenty-One inquired.
"That’s right, the five of you have been selected as the candidates," Xu Qingshan said.
"This time, I’ll lead the team to the Baili Family, and there are three months left to prepare.
I’m telling you in advance so that everyone can prepare well."
"Can I choose not to take part?" Jiang Xier suddenly interjected from the side.
