"Fellow Daoist Ye Yun, if your disciples are this formidable, what is your background?"
On the ancient warship, Cang Yun smiled as he looked at Ye Yun, wanting to probe his origins.
Ye Yun turned his head to look at Cang Yun, finding him much steadier than Jin Wuzhu, and his strength was not insignificant – a seventy-tier Heavenly God.
"This Seat hails from the Myriad Realms, merely an insignificant nobody."
"Heh, to still call yourself an insignificant nobody now is a bit hypocritical, wouldn't you say? The Myriad Realms, is that the alliance organization led by the Level Eight Great World, Tian Lan Domain?"
"The Tian Lan Star Lord was a defeated opponent of this Seat. Now, the Myriad Realms belong to me."
"What?!"
At these words, the entire scene was shocked.
The Tian Lan Star Domain was, after all, a regional overlord. While there had been rumors of his defeat in the Great Thousand Worlds before, many hadn't taken them seriously.
"The Tian Lan Star Lord is an Extreme-level True God. How could he possibly be your defeated opponent? Explain yourself!"
Shui Hua of the Divine Firmament Domain looked at Ye Yun coldly, pressing him.
"This young lady is rather aggressive, and this Seat dislikes being coerced. Perhaps if you spoke properly, this Seat might tell you the details."
"Hmph, what do you think you are, to dare speak to me like this? Judging by your age, you're not even five hundred years old, and you dare claim to have defeated the Tian Lan Star Lord? How presumptuous!"
"This world has truly become strange. Those who speak the truth are always mistaken for liars, while those who lie and flatter are considered honest people. How laughable, truly laughable."
Ye Yun shook the banana fan in his hand, shaking his head with great emotion.
"You dare mock me?"
Shui Hua's anger flared. As a powerful figure from the Divine Firmament Domain, she possessed an absolutely arrogant disposition.
"I didn't mean to, but if you feel it applies to you, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Bastard!"
Shui Hua was already displeased that Ye Yun was the center of attention. In her eyes, only the Divine Firmament Domain should be the focus, and it should be so wherever they went.
Just as she was about to make a move, an elder beside her stopped her.
"Your Highness Shui Hua, this person is mysterious and extraordinary. Do not act rashly."
"Elder Yue, why do you fear an insignificant nobody?"
"Your Highness Shui Hua, we have already observed these disciples of his. They are all individuals of exceptional talent. This person is definitely not an insignificant nobody; he is merely hiding his true strength."
"I cannot swallow this insult!"
"You must learn to endure when necessary. Did not Lord Shen Qing teach you this? Have you forgotten?"
"I..."
Shui Hua showed a troubled expression, but she forcibly suppressed her anger. After all, Shen Qing had indeed instructed her.
Shen Qing was the Lord of the Divine Firmament Domain, ranked first in strength in the Great Thousand Worlds, possessing supreme authority. Even she had to obey him.
"You should listen to Elder Yue. My master was merely not bothered to engage with you. Do you really think he fears you?"
"My junior sister is right. If Master were to reveal his true abilities, everyone here would be brought to their knees!"
"The Great Sovereign of the Myriad Realms. Remember Master's title, all of you."
The women also chimed in, speaking their minds freely and naturally, even when facing people from the Divine Firmament Domain.
"Your Highness Shui Hua, why don't I teach this person a lesson for you and vent your anger?"
Suddenly, Jin Wuzhu stepped forward, wanting to impress the beauty.
"Do I need your help with my matters?"
"Heh, Your Highness Shui Hua, I am merely looking out for you. Why be so distant?"
"Bastard, do you really think you hold any status in my eyes?"
"Alas, the people of the Divine Firmament Domain are indeed as arrogant as the rumors say. But it's alright, this Highness has time to wait for you, haha!"
Jin Wuzhu leered at Shui Hua, his wicked intentions evident.
"You!"
Just as Shui Hua was about to erupt in anger at this scoundrel before her, a beam of light suddenly descended from the nine heavens above.
"Zzzt zzzt zzzt!"
This beam of light pierced through the void and the chaotic currents, directly striking a mountain peak.
"Look quickly, that beam of light is truly unusual!"
"Could it be the legendary Heavenly Light?"
"The Earthly Light has appeared, and now the Heavenly Light is stirred up. It makes sense."
Everyone looked towards where the light was pouring down, finding a stone mirror atop the peak absorbing the power of the Heavenly Light.
Experts from the Divine Firmament Domain, the Sacred Emperor Domain, and the Ancient Cang Domain all turned their gazes towards the stone mirror, their expressions grave.
"The appearance of the Earthly Light was already shocking enough. Now the Heavenly Light has also appeared prematurely. It is perplexing."
"The appearance of the Heavenly Light must have a reason. Could the Human Light also appear?"
"If all three lights appear together, the grand ceremony of Xuan Ao Mountain will surely commence. Where, however, is the Human Light?"
On the three warships, numerous elder-level experts posed questions. They activated their divine eyes, scanning their surroundings, trying to find clues about the Human Light, but to no avail.
Ye Yun observed everyone's reactions, knowing that the ceremony they were waiting for required the convergence of the three lights. It seemed to be a coincidence this time.
"Does any senior here know what this Human Light is?"
Cang Yun looked towards the people of the Divine Firmament Domain and the Ancient Cang Domain, hoping for an answer.
"Your Highness Cang Yun, we are all pondering this question as well. Both the Heavenly Light and the Earthly Light have appeared, but the records concerning the Human Light are incomplete. We do not know what it is, nor how to activate it."
"Do you people of the Ancient Cang Domain not know? Are you trying to mislead us and act secretly?"
"Indeed. This grand ceremony is something we are all paying attention to, and we must partake in it together."
Many experts cast suspicious glances at Cang Yun, revealing the mutual distrust among these Level Nine Great Worlds.
"Heh, with the three Level Nine Great Worlds present, the Ancient Cang Domain has no intention of monopolizing it. Moreover, according to the records, after the three lights converge, the Mysterious God of Xuan Ao Mountain will appear. It is unlikely anyone can defy the rules of the Mountain God."
Cang Yun let out a cold laugh. Mentioning the Mysterious God caused everyone to fall into thought.
"Will the Mysterious God truly appear? Perhaps it is merely a bluff?"
"Whether it is a bluff or a real entity, we shall have to wait for the Human Light to appear."
Cang Yun sat on his throne, seemingly very composed.
Jin Wuzhu on the Sacred Emperor warship was extremely anxious. He had already lost Jin Lin and would have to account for it upon his return. If he couldn't obtain more information about the grand ceremony, he might be in trouble.
"Bring up Jin Lin's corpse."
"Yes."
Two experts from the Sacred Emperor Domain flew down and returned with Jin Lin's corpse.
"Everyone, perhaps I can provide you with an answer."
Just as everyone was racking their brains trying to find a clue about the Human Light, a voice jolted them awake.
"Ye Yun?"
They turned to look, and the source of the voice was Ye Yun.
Seeing the look of confusion on everyone's faces, Ye Yun walked forward, revealing a slight smile...
