Upon a thin sheet of Xuan paper, high above the Sky Domain, four large characters seemed to appear before the eyes of the world!
At that moment, everyone present was incredibly shocked.
Because in those four characters, each and every one plainly contained supreme Dao power beyond measure!
Every stroke, every line, was like an extension of the Dao itself, akin to a supreme rule, eternal and unchanging in this world!
This terrifying aura caused everyone in the scene to feel an urge to bow down in veneration!
“What is this… who wrote it!? It’s too terrifying…”
“Is this really an edict from some supreme being? It makes one utterly unable to harbor any thoughts of defiance…”
“Heaven, who could write such characters? Could it be that the Southern Region of Xuantian State is hiding an extraordinary power from the Immortal Realm?”
In an instant, people from the Four Great Alliances began to voice their suspicions.
These four characters were intimidating to the soul.Even the Seven Great Golden Immortals had expressions of utter astonishment at this moment.
The higher their realm, the more profoundly they could appreciate the terror of these four characters.
“This… this… could it truly be the legendary Supreme Edict?”
Yue Poshan muttered to himself.
“It is said in the world that there are supreme beings whose words follow the Dao; their speech becomes an edict, not to be defied…”
Yin Xingde also spoke in a low voice, thinking of many frightening legends.
“But those capable of inscribing a Great Dao Decree are without exception legendary figures. There are none in the Lower World, unless… unless it is someone from the era of the First Heavenly Realm!”
Wu Mingshen’s eyes flickered uncertainly as he suddenly thought of something and murmured, “The new world of today is also called the Heavenly Realm, isn’t it? Could it be that some old undying being from the ancient First Heavenly Realm period is in seclusion here?!”
The others also came to this realization!
“This edict must have something to do with the First Heavenly Realm!”
“If someone from the First Heavenly Realm capable of inscribing a Great Dao Decree were to appear, even the Immortal Domain would tremble.”
“Indeed, after all, in the past, the First Heavenly Realm was able to challenge the Immortal Domain, even witnessing the battles of the Immortal Kings…”
Countless people wore extremely solemn expressions!
And the likes of the Yuanyang Holy Lord were also astounded.
“This is an edict bestowed by Senior Li… Does he mean that we should value peace and must not let war ravage the Heavenly Realm again?”
“Possibly…”
They muttered among themselves.
“Now, do you believe it?”
Mu Qianning took a deep breath when she saw everyone’s expressions and said, “That senior bestowed an edict, commanding the beings of the Heavenly Realm to cease stirring the flames of war!”
In fact, she had discussed this with Fire Spirit before.
If Senior Li had issued such an edict, they must not utilize any terribly fearsome artifacts, such as the terrifying calligraphy of “One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens”. If they were to bring it out, it was likely that everyone from the Four Great Alliances would be annihilated.
It was simply a weapon of mass destruction, far too horrifying.
But if they directly presented Senior Li’s edict for peace, they might be met with doubt and contempt.
Hence, they had to fight a battle first.
Show the Four Great Alliances that Xuan Tianzhou was by no means easy to bully and that they had the strength to slay Heavenly Immortals and contend with Golden Immortals.
Only then would discussing peace have significance.
Peace is based on the strength of both sides; it is earned through battle.
The weak do not have the right to beg the strong for peace.
So now that the great battle had drawn to a close, she then brought out the edict!
At these words, the Seven Great Golden Immortals from the Four Great Alliances all wore extremely grave expressions.
“This senior you speak of… who might he be?”
Yue Poshan questioned in a grave tone, his words tinged with fear.
Mu Qianning enunciated each word, saying, “That senior lives reclusively among the mundane, unconcerned with world affairs. You have no right to inquire into his identity!”
You have no right to inquire!
On hearing this, everyone’s faces stiffened even further.
Instead of feeling insulted, Mu Qianning’s words seemed only natural to them.
In comparison to a being capable of issuing a Supreme Edict of the Dao, they… indeed had no right to inquire!
Truly none!
“No right to inquire… How could there be such an existence in the Heavenly Realm?”
Wu Mingshen murmured, his heart already retreating at this moment!
Whatever existence was in the Southern Territory, if they could issue a Great Dao Edict, they were beings that could not be defied!
“To value peace above all… Since such a being has already passed down the edict, we can only withdraw…”
Shangguan Zhanyi murmured as well.
“It’s really disheartening… but presuming to offend might well invite disaster that could lead to our clan’s extinction…”
Even Yin Xingde spoke with difficulty, turning to Yue Poshan and saying, “Peace is precious, and further battle serves no purpose. It’s time for us to depart.”
Yue Poshan’s face darkened, and he fell silent.
This, it seemed, had become the only choice!
Seeing that the Four Great Alliances already harboured thoughts of retreat, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Avoiding this battle was truly the best outcome.
“Before the edict bestowed by Senior Li, no one dares not to comply!”
They spoke excitedly.
But, just at this moment, a voice like that of a night owl sneered:
“Heh heh, what a splendid play, truly a splendid play!”
Huang Shang strode forward step by step, a dismissive smile on his face as he looked at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning and said, “For this play, you truly have exhausted every trick in the book!”
His words filled the crowd with confusion.
“Huang Shang, brother Dao, what do you mean? Do not implicate us in the face of the edict!”
Ning Haotian spoke in a deep voice.
“Yes, offending such an existence, even if we’re Golden Immortals, we would face catastrophic disaster!”
Even Yin Xingde was admonishing them!
The very existence that could issue such an edict had already instilled deep fear in their hearts.
“Ridiculous!”
Huang Shang was completely uncaring as he said, “To think you all, each one an Alliance Hierarch, all Golden Immortals, could be deceived by such a trick?”
He sneered, “If in the Southern Territory, there truly existed a terrifying causal being, would he waste a Great Dao Decree on us ants? Are we worthy?!”
Pointing at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, he continued:
“Moreover, if there truly were such a terrifying existence, would his ranks lack Taiyi Golden Immortals or even Daluo Golden Immortals? Why would he send two mere Profound Immortals to transmit his edict, as if he couldn’t find a single Golden or Heavenly Immortal?”
“Don’t you find it odd?!”
Upon hearing this, everyone from the Four Great Alliances suddenly changed their expressions!
“Right, this… there are indeed suspicious points!”
“Exactly, I felt that there was something strange just now, and now I understand. A supreme being letting two mere Profound Immortals transmit his edict? Impossible!”
“You’re right, I was just thinking, we lowly worms, ants, trash, how could we possibly be worthy of a supreme being issuing an edict for us… Something is fishy!”
Everyone instantly came to a sudden realization!
“But, this edict clearly contains supreme Dao power… This cannot be faked!”
At this time, an old Heavenly Immortal challenged.
“Ignoramus!”
Huang Shang sneered, “The edict is indeed real, but, it’s definitely not written by someone alive today!”
“The only explanation is that these two young ladies came across some secret cache in the First Heavenly Realm and obtained a Quasi-Saintly Artifact, along with this edict.”
“They’re using an edict from countless ages ago to scare us!”
He was absolutely certain!
Hearing his words, everyone felt as if they had been awoken from a grand dream!
All of them showed a look of sudden comprehension.
“It must be so!”
“If not for the wisdom of the Xuanzi Alliance Hierarch, we would truly have been frightened by this edict!”
“Right, there isn’t such an existence in the Lower World, it must be a treasure left by the First Heavenly Realm…”
People began speaking one after another, realizing the truth, they all quickly advanced towards the Taiyan Holy Land’s formation!
After all, Huang Shang’s words not only proved the “terrifying existence” did not exist but also confirmed that there was a great opportunity in the Southern Territory, treasures left by the First Heavenly Realm!
They must obtain it!
“Faking an edict, attempting to deceive Golden Immortals, you two vile women have some nerve!”
Earth Wind Alliance Hierarch Ning Haotian suddenly reacted, stepping forward and glaring at the two Fire Spirits!
“Heh, you almost managed to trick us, but nowyour plot has been exposed. Speak, where is the treasure of the First Heavenly Realm!”
Wu Mingshen, too, with a flick of his black robe, saw the black clouds reappear!
Great battle, was on the verge of breaking out.
“You… You have some nerve, to ignore Senior Li’s edict like this!”
Mu Qianning’s face turned pale with anger; she had never imagined someone would dare to question Senior Li.
Fire Spirit was secretly gripping the calligraphy of “One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens,” her voice grave, “Words are useless, if they dare to make a move, we will have no choice but to eliminate them!”
“Heh, it’s not that we don’t believe you, ladies.”
At this time, Yin Xingde chuckled coldly and said, “It’s just that, we would like to meet this Senior, is that possible? Hahaha! Such a defiant senior wouldn’t be afraid to meet us, would he?”
“Perhaps, upon seeing us, he will flee in terror?”
His arrogance knew no bounds!
“You… how dare you!”
Mu Qianning could no longer restrain herself. She would not tolerate such slander against Senior Li!
“Sister Ling’er, kill them!”
Even someone as kindhearted as she could no longer bear it.
Fire Spirit was slowly drawing out the calligraphy piece!
“You think you are worthy to meet Senior Li?”
Just at that moment, a clear, elegant yet indifferent voice suddenly rang out!
It reached the hearts of everyone present!
Instantly, everyone turned their gazes towards the source of the voice.
They saw a woman in white, with white hair, stepping leisurely forward. She seemed detached from the world, like an iceberg, yet her demeanor was almost too intimidating to look directly at!
(Who do you guess it is? Guess correctly, and there will be an extra release.)
