They had no choice, but to go have a look. Still, the two military elders felt their hearts thumping with anxiety.

"This is the delicate juncture where our army has been deployed to take over Ziyou and start the grand world domination. Is it a good or bad thing for a momentous event to happen at the Residence of Nine Supremes so suddenly? Is it an opportunity or a threat? Why has this happened?"

The emperor mumbled to himself they walked outside, sounding for all the world like he was having a monologue.

The elders knew, naturally, that this was not a question they had to answer.

"If this tumult is caused by Supreme Cloud… and Supreme Cloud does indeed have the capability… then isn't he already an immortal? On the contrary, if this was caused by the sect that tied everything to heaven's will previously, doesn't that mean the Residence of Nine Supremes is facing an unprecedented challenge?"

His Majesty mumbled, "Whichever it is, though, they point to the same thing. The secular sovereignty… to Supreme Cloud, or to the really powerful ones… is truly fragile."

This was a rather sensitive issue.

Qiu Jianhan's expression betrayed his confusion as he replied slowly, "The secular sovereignty… to rule the world… has never been in Supreme Cloud's eyes. Have we not discussed this before?"

This was the truth. The name of the Nine Supremes was a living legend in the heart of Yutang's people and officials since a long time ago. Its faculty of power had long reigned above that of the sovereignty, but Emperor of Yutang knew fully well about the true intention of the Nine Supremes' establishment, thus he had never minded much about it.

"This throne… must never be in Nine Supremes' eyes too…" His Majesty seemed thoughtful, a revelation bubbling within him.

"Let us go take a look at it."

The emperor made his decision and quickened his pace.

"Your Majesty! You said yourself that this tumult at the Residence of Nine Supremes could be due to the external forces that had previously targeted the structure. It's better that we go after the dust clears a little!"

"Do not worry, we'll just look from afar. We won't actually go close to it. Even if it were actually external threats, they probably won't target us." The emperor's expression was hard to read, a little forlorn perhaps, as he said, "You might not know this, but right now… I vaguely feel that perhaps after today… we… won't be able to see the Residence of Nine Supremes ever again…"

Just as His Majesty walked out of the palace and stepped foot outside, the entire sky turned purple.

It was as if a pure, deep, violet jade billions of miles wide was spread across the very heavens!

…

In the Borderless Ocean, waves suddenly billowed on the usually calm surface, flashes of gold reflecting off the ripples. With a sudden swoosh, the waves swirled dozen thousands of feet high, glinting with power.

Dozens of silhouettes appeared in midair standing on the waves; they cried aloud as they stared at the deep purple in the sky.

"The seal is finally broken!"

"The cycle of an era has been reactivated again!"

"Our destiny is here!"

"The world is finally moving!"

"Let's go!"

"To the Bound of Universe!"

"This time, we must seize the opportunity!"

The dozens of shadows shot into the sky together with a wave of their sleeves. Then, they vanished without a trace.

After a moment, the high, swirling waves fell abruptly, resulting in a catastrophic tsunami…

…

In a hidden valley somewhere, Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou, who had just gone through an aggressive ambush as well as Gu Chaliang and Feng Xiange who were severely injured, scrambled up as well, training their unblinking gazes at the sky.

This place was no farther than three thousand miles away from Tiantang City. If the four of them were in their optimum state and sped along at full speed, they could rush their way back in, at most, four hours. Now, their wish could only remain as one, given their handicapped abilities.

Seeing the sudden change, all four of them were greatly surprised.

Ling Xiaozui was shocked and confused about the change, as was Dugu Chou. However, Feng Xiange's eyes were gleaming; a massive aura flashed through him before disappearing. Gu Chaliang was the most astonished one out of the quad; he stared into the sky, frozen like a statue before beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

Lowering his head, Gu Chaliang stared at the purple jade flute in his hands, at a loss. After some time, it was like he could no longer hold it in as he cried out, "It's too late!"

Dugu Chou turned to him. "Too late? What's too late?"

Gu Chaliang stumbled as he answered, "It's too late for us to rush back to Tiantang City… Oh my God, what should I do? A sliver of stubbornness and I actually missed this incredible destiny!"

He looked terribly vexed and regretful like he was about to pull his head off his neck, agony written all over his face.

"What happened? Why is it an incredible destiny?" asked Ling Xiaozui.

Gu Chaliang suddenly grabbed Ling Xiaozui's hand. His face bore a look of absolute solemnity. "Old Ling! Only you can help save this matter now! You have to help me!"

Gu Chaliang's expression was almost menacing when he said the five words 'you have to help me'.

"What on earth is it? How can I help you if you don't tell me what it is?" Ling Xiaozui asked irritably.

After so many incidents, Gu Chaliang had successfully washed away the suspicion that had been placed on him. Ling Xiaozui was no longer doubtful about him, letting his guard down. Currently, they could already be considered as true friends who had been through life and death together. If Ling Xiaozui could be of help, he would definitely not reject him. Yet, he had to understand the full picture, despite already deciding that he would help since Gu Chaliang had spoken so grimly.

"Please!" Gu Chaliang looked determined like there was nothing of greater import right now. With a flip of his wrist, he passed over the purple jade flute he held in his hands.

Everyone had seen the purple jade flute in Gu Chaliang's grip many a time after being together for this entire duration, thus they thought nothing more about it. In spite of this, looking at it again now, they were astounded to realize that the luster of this purple jade flute was actually the same as the purple tinting the sky!

"Please, with the fastest speed you can possibly muster… rush to Tiantang City and toss this purple jade flute into the Residence of Nine Supremes! Please!"

Gu Chaliang offered the purple jade flute with both his hands and kneeled down on the ground. "This incident concerns the world's welfare. What happens to me is insignificant but… please… you must rush there the fastest you can… Even if you give it your best shot… there mustn't be any further delay. You must catch up in time!"

"This…" Ling Xiaozui was shocked by Gu Chaliang's actions.

"There's really no time to explain now!" Gu Chaliang was in utter panic. "You must believe me… Otherwise… Otherwise… everything's over…"

The purple jade flute was glowing and glimmering like it was answering to the purple illumination in the sky, threatening to shoot towards the sky at any time.

"What is it?" Ling Xiaozui frowned. "At least let me have an idea!"

Gu Chaliang was already at a loss for words, seeing as to how anxious he was; he stomped his feet impatiently. "Hush, don't nag anymore! Go quickly! Please, go quickly! The Nine Supremes are returning to their origins! The Nine Supremes are reuniting!"

The restoration of the Nine Supremes!
