said, 'I don't know. All I know is that such a thing is incredibly tempting to us, or rather, to the demon race. And only by becoming a mountain and sea monster would it be possible to obtain it!'"Gin..."Hurry up!"

Liu Meng, who was fanning the flames for Ginger Cloud and secretly calculating how much he could profit from this, suddenly heard Ginger Cloud's voice in his ear.

And his reaction was also extremely fast, he didn't even think about it and immediately crushed the formation stone that he had always held in his hand, opening the teleportation array.

Next, his vision blurred. Ginger Cloud's figure was already ahead of him, stepping into the teleportation formation!

Liu Meng naturally wouldn't dare to be negligent. He immediately followed closely behind, stepped into the formation, and activated the teleportation array.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures reappeared in the manor where they resided.

"Lao Di..."

Liu Meng opened his mouth just about to ask Ginger Cloud, what had just happened Why were they in such a hurry to come back, but Ginger Cloud interrupted him without any politeness. "Go to the grand competition place!"

Looking at Jiang Yun's solemn expression, Liu Meng's heart couldn't help but beat faster, realizing that something major must have happened.

After all, he and Jiang Yun, or rather, since he met Fan Xiao who was reborn from death, Jiang Yun's impression on him has always been calm and collected. He does everything in an orderly manner.

And this was still his first time seeing Jiang Yun actually flustered.

But Jiang Yun seemed unwilling to tell him, so he could only swallow his curiosity and the words that followed, saying, "Okay!"

However, just as he turned to step into another teleportation array, Jiang Yun suddenly reached out and pressed his head.

Jiang Yun's strength is beyond Liu Meng's current capabilities.

Plus, Liu Meng hadn't expected Jiang Yun to ambush him at this time, so he naturally got caught by Jiang Yun's palm.

Before he could react to what was happening, Jiang Yun's powerful divine consciousness surged into his soul at an incredibly fast speed.

"You!"

Liu Meng's face suddenly changed, thinking that Jiang Yun was going to search his soul.

But Jiang Yun, in a low voice, transmitted sound, "Rest assured, I won't search your soul, I just want to modify some of your memories."

"Just now I discovered a great secret of the heavens, but it was detected by the Great Emperor. I'm afraid the Great Emperor is already on his way there."

If you don't want to be dragged down by me, then just obediently listen to me. Otherwise, your end will be infinitely worse than death.

Jiang Yun's words caused Liu Meng's body to tremble slightly.

He naturally knew that this day, both inside and outside the heavens, held countless secrets.

And he had also come for one of the secrets within it.

Therefore, he believed Gingercloud's words.

Moreover, feeling the immense spiritual power of Jiang Yun, something he couldn't possibly contend with, he immediately and smartly nodded, giving up resistance and said: "You can tamper with parts of my memories, but if you want to search my soul, then we might as well both perish."

Ginger Cloud remained silent, her divine sense delving into Liu Meng's soul. She swiftly tampered with the memories concerning Fan Xiao's "resurrection," particularly their three clandestine trips to Area Ninety-Nine together.

Just a few breaths, Jiang Yun withdrew his divine sense and smiled at Liu Meng: "Liu DaRen, let's leave quickly, if we are late, I am afraid we will miss the grand competition!"

Of course, Liu Meng had completely forgotten about the previous experience and nodded, "Alright, let's go!"

The two of them stepped into the teleportation array once again, arriving in Tiānzhōngtiān and making their way to the Military Weapons Hall.

Although there are still some cultivators gathered in front of the Martial Arts Hall at this moment, the number is far less than before.

Jiang Yun and Liu Meng didn't say a word, honestly choosing a teleportation array and lining up at the end of the queue, patiently waiting.

At the same time, the figure of Emperor Xing appeared in the sky of the Ninety-Ninth District.

His gaze fell directly upon the patch of grass arranged in a desolate pattern, releasing his divine sense and spreading deep into the earth.

After a moment, Emperor Xing's brows furrowed slightly. "Strange, why is there no movement again"

"Previously, the Emperor Xing had sensed artificial spatial power transmissions in a certain world. As a result, Leng Yichen and his group spent half a year searching, but came up empty-handed."

"Today, I sensed a ripple of energy again here, but as always, I came up empty-handed."

Is it our perception that is wrong, or is there something unknown happening that has been kept from us all along

After a brief moment of contemplation, Emperor Xing's divine consciousness suddenly surged towards the hundreds of imprisoned criminals within this world.

Then, hundreds of prisoners' bodies shook violently at the same time. Each one bled from their seven orifices, their faces contorted in pain as they clutched their heads and collapsed onto the ground.

It is evident that the Emperor of Punishment is searching their souls, and his methods are extremely cruel, completely disregarding their lives or deaths.

"Just now, no one had been here!" Fortunately, the Emperor of Punishment only searched their memories from a few moments ago, so he soon withdrew his consciousness.

After casting one last glance upon this world, the Emperor Xing's figure took a step and vanished.

Next, if anyone on this day were to see the figure of the Emperor Xing, they would find that the Emperor Xing had begun to appear continuously in the last few regions under the jurisdiction of this layer of heaven.

From district 91, district 92, district 93... all the way to district 99!

And whenever he reached a region, the Emperor of Punishment would only linger for a few breaths before turning and leaving.

Thus, after Emperor Xing had traversed all nine regions of the first heaven, his figure arrived above the Military Martial Hall.

At this moment, there are only a few dozen cultivators left in front of the military hall. However, none of them could detect the arrival of Emperor Xing.

The Emperor's gaze swept over each of these dozens of people.

Even, saw the ginger cloud and Liu Meng who had been waiting for a while, that figure had just stepped into a teleportation formation.

Finally, as streaks of teleportation light flared, the entire Military Hall was empty except for the ten Celestial Guards responsible for the transmission.

And only then did Emperor Xing step silently into one of the teleportation arrays.

The guards responsible for this formation, upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Emperor of Punishment, were about to speak. However, the teleportation formation, which was originally under their control, began to operate on its own and directly teleported the Emperor of Punishment away.

---

In an unnamed realm, at its very center, lies a massive platform covering an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.

Above the platform, there is a semicircular white light cover.

Here is the location where this year's military competition will be held.

And all around the mask, more than one hundred thousand cultivators gathered!

Although it appears that these cultivators are positioned arbitrarily, in reality, they are divided into nine distinct areas.

Of course, each one represents the nine heavens of the world beyond the world.

At the very front of each area stands a man, who is the Heavenly General of that region.

After the heavens, then came their subordinate generals, followed by lieutenants of various ranks, centurions, and ordinary guards, standing in order.

Last but not least are the guests who were invited to come and watch the competition.

The arrival of Liu Meng and Jiang Yun did not attract any attention.

After their divine senses swept around the area, they easily found Mo Ze's location and quietly walked to the end, standing there.

Anyway, Liu Meng is merely a centurion. No matter where he comes and stands, no one would really care.

However, above that vast platform, within the canopy itself, was a hidden space containing three figures: one seated and two standing.

Sitting was Emperor Xuan, and standing were Song Lao and Song Ying.

Xuandi's gaze fell directly on Jiang Yun, his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Strange, I feel that this kid seems to have changed a bit compared to yesterday!"

But I can't seem to see the change!

"Song Lao, what do you think"

Song Lao's gaze also fell on Jiang Yun, shaking his head and saying, "Since even the Great Emperor couldn't see through it, I naturally couldn't."

Just as Emperor Xuan was about to say something, a figure appeared within the light shield below. It was Tian Shuai Leng Yi Chen!

With Leng YiChen's arrival, the originally rather noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

The big match is about to begin! vicious monsters and powerful demons like Huanxu, there wouldn't be any other life forms present.However, the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, he was stunned.Because in front of him,...
