Chapter 1704: Resolving the Problem Requires the Person Who Caused It

Xu Yang, having acquired the Eye of the Gods—the second major source of power after the Immortal Divine Lotus—decisively led his three fully recovered teammates out of the forbidden zone. They returned to the main battlefield in the Void, where they reunited with the elders of the Pupils Royal Clan who had been anxiously waiting outside the forbidden zone.

As expected, the moment Xu Yang appeared, the immense spiritual pressure radiating from him immediately made the Pupils Royal Clan elders tremble. They understood that Xu Yang was now far more powerful than when he had first entered the forbidden zone. The sheer increase in his spiritual power level alone left the esteemed elders speechless.

"Haha," one of them chuckled, "seeing you now, we realize how foolish we old folks were just moments ago. To be honest, we had even planned to ambush you here. If you had truly been severely wounded by our Grand Elder in the forbidden zone, and if you had tried to escape through its entrance, we would have combined our powers to cast the most potent dream spell on you, imprisoning you forever in the Pupils Royal Clan's immortal abode. But seeing you now, we finally understand that the Grand Elder was utterly defeated by you, and you have once again achieved an precedent and significant increase in power. Your soul's strength now almost rivals that of the Supreme Deity's consciousness. We should not act rashly in front of you; it would only make us old folks appear more pathetic."

The patriarch of the Pupils Royal Clan was utterly resigned and had given up hope. Feeling no need to conceal anything from Xu Yang, he simply blurted out their recent plan.

Xu Yang lightly shook his head with a smile. "Since you've come to this realization, everything will become much simpler. As I've said before, I have no intention of destroying the legacy of your Six Human-Spirit Lineages. After all, we are all human brethren; why should we fight among ourselves? I have only one crucial objective: to overthrow the rule of the Supreme Deity. Once the Supreme Deity falls, the Kunlun Divine Dao will usher in a new era. In the future, all human cultivators will have a fair training environment. On such a platform, although you cultivators of the Six Human-Spirit Royal Lineages may no longer possess what is considered 'noble' blood, you will still be able to display your unparalleled talents on a grander stage. That would also be a good thing for you."

Xu Yang's words seemed to both inspire and encourage the cultivators of the Pupils Royal Clan. Everyone understood Xu Yang's transcendent vision, born from his profound wisdom and broad-mindedness, finally grasping his true intentions. Immediately, a deep sense of shame filled their hearts, and they all respectfully clasped their hands towards Xu Yang.

"Your profound state of being is far beyond anything we ordinary mortals can ever hope to achieve," one elder declared. "You are truly a world-shattering figure, undoubtedly the foremost individual throughout the ages."

Xu Yang offered a helpless smile in response to this wave of rather flattering remarks.

"That is the goal I have been pursuing," Xu Yang replied. "While I haven't reached that level yet, it shouldn't be too far off. I, Xu Yang, will indeed become the foremost individual throughout the ages, as you say, and a supreme monument, uniquely mine, will forever be sealed in the cultivation world."

After these words, with no need for further lingering, Xu Yang and his three teammates transformed into a streak of light and instantly vanished from before the Pupils Royal Clan elders.

Though Xu Yang's physical form had vanished, his powerful soul voice continued to echo repeatedly in the minds of the Pupils Royal Clan cultivators, delivering a deafening revelation to each of them. "You need not worry about the loss of the source of power you guarded. The cultivation system of the Six Human-Spirit Lineages is already well-established, and the power reserves within your respective immortal abodes are sufficient for thousands of years of cultivation. Before long, I will overthrow the Supreme Deity's long-standing rule. At that time, the entire cultivation environment of the Kunlun Divine Dao will undergo a complete reorganization and redivision. What you must do now is carefully consider what path your lineage's legacy should take. When I lead the Monster Beast Clan into full-scale war against the Supreme Deity's consciousness, that will be the time for you to choose your allegiance anew. If you remain stubborn and wish to cling to life under the protection of the Supreme Deity's will, then we will inevitably become mortal enemies. Conversely, if you can clearly understand your stance and the future you truly desire, and join our ranks, then we will advance hand in hand in the future."

With the successful acquisition of the second source of power, Xu Yang set his sights on the immortal abode of the Dustlight Royal Clan lineage as his third objective.

However, what surprised everyone this time was that the one who personally activated the mark leading to the Dustlight Royal Clan was none other than Supreme Deity Yan Xia. Even Xu Yang showed a surprised expression, though he quickly recovered. He recalled what Yan Xia had previously told him about her fated personal bond, which now seemed to be with the living fossil Grand Elder of the Dustlight Royal Clan.

"I can't believe the place you most wanted to go was the Dustlight Royal Clan," Xu Yang remarked. Supreme Deity Yan Xia offered him a smile, but Xu Yang could see that the sorrow which had slumbered in her eyes for countless millennia still lingered.

As the saying goes, "He who tied the bell must untie it." The only one who could resolve the sorrow in Supreme Deity Yan Xia's heart must be the person she loved most in her life.

Soon, a teleportation space leading to the Dustlight Royal Clan's immortal abode swiftly condensed under the stellar mark. The same four individuals stepped into the shimmering teleportation array. The moment they entered, a strong sense of resistance immediately enveloped Xu Yang and his three companions. As they traversed the spatial-temporal array's passage, this powerful light continuously radiated around the channel.

"Such strong resistance!" Long Kun exclaimed, "Could it be that the Dustlight Royal Clan already knows we're coming?" Evidently, that was precisely the case.

At this moment, the immortal abode of the Dustlight Royal Clan was filled with countless top-tier young cultivators, each covered by a giant golden spiritual seal inscription. This was the Adamantine Sacred Art they cultivated, their most powerful protective formation. It was also their strongest combined combat force, capable of sealing and suppression. The most formidable aspect of the profound array within the Adamantine Sacred Art was its ability to infinitely stack sealing power. As long as a sufficiently large number of cultivators formed the array, the stacked sealing power could increase almost infinitely. No matter how powerful an individual, as long as they possessed their own physical body, they would find it impossible to easily tear through this array.
