I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!
Chapter 676 - 277: I Want to Be Closer to Him! (Please Subscribe)

"Mr. Qing Zhou, I shall go to the Imperial City first to discuss important matters with Emperor Wei and others. When I return, I hope we can have a conversation."

The Great Master heard the sound transmission from the Imperial City, understanding that Emperor Wei and others had also noticed the commotion within the Ten Thousand Mountains and were likely worried about the subsequent actions of the Demon Court.

"At your convenience, sir."

"Very well."

Li Qingzhou also had some speculations regarding the Great Master's reason for going to the Imperial City. However, his gaze remained fixed in the direction of the Demon Court, with a faint sense of anxiety in his heart.

Although he had confidence in Chen Yi's cultivation strength, the bloodshed within the Ten Thousand Mountains and the imposing aura of the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" were alarming even to him.

Let's see which powerful figures have made their moves previously.

Firstly, there's Emperor Tian, the old demon of the Demon Court, who caused countless massacres on Taizhou Mountain over the millennia, leaving no less than five pillars of the Human Race dead at its hands, including two ancestral masters of the Grand Void Sect.

Moreover, Emperor Tian's status within the Demon Court on Taizhou Mountain is equivalent to that of several old ancestors of the Human Race, and every time it acts, it triggers devastating battles between the Human Race and the Demon Court.

Secondly, there's the Fengyue Demon Emperor.

Li Qingzhou knew little about this Demon Emperor, who had only ascended the throne forty years ago, having merely heard a few rumors from some pillars of the Human Race—the Fengyue Demon Emperor was the distant descendant of a previous Demon Emperor, with the bloodline of an ancient peerless fiend flowing through her veins!

However, as the Fengyue Demon Emperor had never visited Taizhou Mountain and had only made a few moves on the Tianyuan Continent, many Human Race pillars had a high opinion of her, even feeling fortunate that there was such an emperor in the Demon Court, saving the Human Race from much trouble.

The third to appear was the mysterious figure wearing a bronze mask from "Extreme Purity Heaven."

The ferocity of his clashes with Emperor Tian was so great that even thousands of miles apart, Li Qingzhou could clearly see it.

Even though the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" suppressed Emperor Tian, the mysterious figure with the bronze mask was able to fight it for a long time and gain the upper hand, which was still shocking to Li Qingzhou.

What particularly weighed on his mind was that, according to what Chen Yi had said earlier, this mysterious powerful figure, who had previously helped Zhou Guanwu and others escape, was not among the top in "Extreme Purity Heaven."

Then, just how powerful was the "Extreme Purity Heaven" secretly planned by the Wei Dynasty?

Li Qingzhou did not know.

He sighed, looking up at the starlit sky, the spring breeze brushing his face did not bring him warmth.

Apart from worrying about Chen Yi's safety, the scene of Emperor Tian Ancestor withstanding the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" also made him realize—a strict rule on the Tianyuan Continent had shown cracks.

"The physical body and demon bloodline of the Divine Power Eighth Realm can actually withstand the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' for one incense stick's time!"

This living example made it unavoidable for Li Qingzhou to worry.

Originally, those powerful figures at the Divine Power Realm who went to Taizhou Mountain and left their marks on the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" would be told by the ancestors not to make any moves within the Tianyuan Continent, for fear of death.

Therefore, for the past millennium, neither the Human Race nor the demon great powers dared to carelessly test the limits of the "Heaven and Earth Bridge."

—But now this limit had been tested!

Although the threshold to make moves within the Tianyuan Continent was still very high, Li Qingzhou could still foresee the series of changes this would bring about.

One of the most direct outcomes would be—one or more Human Race ancestors returning from Taizhou Mountain to the Tianyuan Continent to guard against the Demon Court ancestors making reckless moves to kill Human Race great powers!

"This matter needs to be quickly communicated to the ancestors within Taizhou Mountain."

...

Only a few people knew about the intense battle within the Demon Court's Ten Thousand Mountains. Aside from participants like Chen Yi, the Fengyue Demon Emperor, and "Extreme Purity Heaven," only some great powers on the Tianyuan Continent could see some scenes and surmise certain things.

Especially with the appearance of the "Heaven and Earth Bridge," all the great powers aware of the battle tonight had thoughts similar to Li Qingzhou.

They all understood that the balance between the Tianyuan Continent and Taizhou Mountain, between the Human Race and the Demon Court, might have to endure upheaval to be restored.

Yet all of this went unnoticed by those with lower cultivation among humans, demons, the Barbarian Clan, and the people of the Buddha Country.

Within the Duke Wu An Mansion, in a room separated by just a wall from Li Qingzhou.

Lin Xueru sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating the Eight Techniques of Taixu, her body gently pulsating, surrounded by eight distinct or indistinct auras forming a black and white intertwined disc around her.

Simultaneously, an extremely subtle, almost undetectable divine will from her body melded into the surrounding auras, gradually enhancing her cultivation.

On the other bed, Xiao Xuanzhen awoke from her cultivation.

Subconsciously, she glanced at Lin Xueru, seeing her still diligently practicing. She carefully stretched her body and sensed the activity within the Marquis Mansion.

After realizing there was no discernible movement, Xiao Xuanzhen finally got off the bed, gently opened the door, and observed the moonlit scene outside.

The courtyard was neat and clean.

As spring arrived, some flowers gradually bloomed, emitting a faintly sweet fragrance, and the flowers appeared luminous under the moonlight.

"Really boring…"

For the past two days, whenever they were hungry, servants at the mansion would deliver food, and if they were thirsty, fruits and juices were available. Even her clothes were washed and replaced by someone designated for the task.

Xiao Xuanzhen felt as if she had returned to the Taixu Peak, having nothing else to do but cultivate.
