Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands, highest grand hall.

Within the luxurious hall, a fervent fiery atmosphere gripped nearly everyone there.

Several high Elders were quite animated as they reported to their Sect Master, Qiao Tu.

Nearly a full day has passed since the massacre at the Nightmare realm. And when news got out about it, the surrounding Holy Lands were frightened to their cores.

Nobody knew just how the hell the black miasma mist could be so terrifying. Martial Cultivators and World Spirit Masters were all bringing out their best investigative methods but were receiving little to zero results.

The Thunderous Collision Wolrd was in a state of dread over this horrifying news.

Comparatively, the Ancient Phoenix Holy Lands were in a state of uproar!

They mainly focused on the news from Elder Feng and Fui that Fu Kang, Xun Ki, and Ye Bai were dead!

As strange as the miasma mist were, it simply could not compare to the fact that three of their peak-tier geniuses will never come back. This was essentially cutting down a massive part of their future military forces!

In fact, the Phoenixes all had high hopes that those three could surpass their Holy Land and permanently change the status of their Holy Land. Perhaps even becoming a peak Mid-Tier or High Tier force!

However, all of those possibilities were directly flushed forever. This was a direct attack on them that couldn't be swept under the rug.

The fact that their Sect Master took so long to organize a meeting only fueled the high Elders' righteous anger.

"Sect Master! Please! You must uphold justice for my disciples! Those damn Dragons beast can't be allowed to simply reign over this world without any consequences!!

"

One of the high Elders was especially furious.

She was a beautiful woman with shimmering orange eyes that sparkle like the sun and a face that'll enthrall any cold-hearted man.

Her long, flowing hair seemingly danced in the wind as her gorgeous face twisted into a furious expression, making her seem even more captivating than usual.

She was Fu Kang's group master, Elder Sun.

And her righteous anger permeated among the rest of high Elders.

"Sect Master, Elder Sun is right. Do we really just sallow this kind of direct attack on us? If we do, who knows how daring these Huang Dragons can be in the future?

"

"Right, we need to display our own showcase of force. The Phoenix will never be suppressed by mere small Dragons.

"

"Sect Master, we're all depending on you.

"

The Elders continued on their momentum, relentlessly pressing Qiao Tu.

From their tone and passion, one would think they were getting through to her. However, within their Martial Hearts, the Elders couldn't suppress ominous chills.

No matter how fervent or logical reasons they brought up, Qiao Tu remained unmoved.

She simply sat with a calm expression, listening in on everyone. It was an action that seemed like a reasonable leader.

However, this conflicts with the personality everyone knows about Qiao Tu.

Indeed, as a Sect Master, Qiao Tu's intelligence is amazingly high, her ambition is in the skies, and her shrewdness is incredible.

But at the same time, Qiao Tu has a clear domineering personality. Her fiery Divine aura would usually blaze like the burning sun.

These Elders and even the first supreme Elder would feel faintly suffocated in her presence.

But this was all during ordinary times.

For some inexplicable reason now, when Qiao Tu has the perfect chance to showcase her overwhelming domineering, she is abnormally subdued.

Throughout the whole meeting, she had only spoken a few words. It made it seem as if she simply didn't place much importance on this subject.

The highest Elders were a mix displeased, confused, and wary.

None of them would dare to voice out their displeasure. But at the same time, they couldn't help but feel cautious on what is making their domineering Sect Master act so subdue.

And just when the Elders believed Qiao Tu would remain silent, she suddenly opened her mouth to only say,

"This is a great matter. You all must remember this concern a Royal descendent child who supposedly has incredible Martial Talent. He isn't any ordinary member we can feasibly suppress. Thus, I will come to the final decision with the Supreme Ancestor. You all may leave now.

"

Elder Sun and the other high Elders all abruptly swallowed what they wanted to say.

What else could they do at this moment?

Sect Master's words are the law here, and the Supreme Ancestor couldn't be disrespected.

A furious rage still simmered within each of their souls. However, the Elders simply bowed before quickly leaving the grand hall.

Silence engulfed the grand hall.

Qiao Tu didn't even change her position, her expression still twisting in deep thoughts.

Seconds later, orange ripples distorted space right next to Qiao Tu. A powerful fluctuation of aura spewed from the space ripple.

Promptly afterward, space ripped open, and an old man stepped out.

As the old man appeared, the whole grand hall was drowned in a sizzling atmosphere.

The old man's face carried numerous age wrinkles, his fiery red beard was long, reaching down to his chest and his eyes held a trace of weariness.

And yet, this old man's Divine aura was powerful!

He even faintly suppressed Qiao Tu's Divine aura. His mere presence could cause any ordinary Elder to completely collapse to their knees.

Immediately when this old man appeared, Qiao Tu stood up and respectfully bowed.

"Greetings Supreme Ancestor Hong.

"

"Mn. No need to stand on ceremony. This meeting will be quick.

" Ancestor Hong causally waved his long sleeves.

He continues to say,

"As expected of Ancient Dragon Empress Shi Wei. She truly put out something to perfectly tempt us. The Divine Fiery Rose. Something of which can cause a jump start on both the young and older.

"

"She really put out something like that?

" Qiao Tu's eyes briefly widened in surprise. Although, it didn't last long as her eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"That is a Heavenly Rank, mid-grade resources. Something of which we have very little hope in finding and capturing. These high-rank resources are usually in dangerous areas, even for Divine Rulers. Just how did she get it? And what exactly are her intentions?

"

Ancestor Hong could only slowly shake his head.

"For one thing, this isn't a fabricated resource. The Dragon Ancestor was so kind to provide me with a sample to verify. Using this, she truly wants to mediate the current conflict occurring. In any case, it will be better to see how this deal goes. Nothing good will come from trying to force each other. Just like you mentioned, the who caused this whole ordeal is also the Ancient Dragon Empress's grandson. It will be impossible to suppress him with any normal means. But perhaps this way, we may open up a chance to eventually suppress the Huang Dragons if we play the part perfectly.

"

Listening to him, Qiao Tu didn't feel any emotional stirring in her mind.

Towards three talented disciples, she indeed felt it was a considerable loss. She even had high hopes of them reaching their prime disciple level.

But this didn't mean she would lose any sort of rationality.

As a leader of a massive organization, getting swayed by emotions would just be a foolish decision.

Even the lowest tier Holy Land forces clearly understand this.

More than that, the most ambitious Sect, Clan, and Martial Families leaders would all prioritize seizing the maximum benefits.

Even if it does means temporarily working with a significant threat. Through risk, could there be the potential to receive the greatest rewards.

And both Qiao Tu and Ancestor Hong had the ambition to finally rise above the domineering Huang Dragons.

…

The unclaimed territories of the Thunderous Collision Worlds are in truth greater in number than the Holy Lands or Holy Martial Famlies' hidden worlds.

To even create a hidden world requires at least a high Mid-tier Holy Land Force.

At this level, the Holy Land will undoubtedly have several Gold Level World Spirit Masters along with Martial Cultivators primarily proficient in Space Laws. These two components are crucial.

Only people like them can combine their Space Dao Marks and Spirit Law Marks to create a separate dimension that is tens of thousands of miles long in diameter!

However, a construction process like this can last for tens of thousands or perhaps even hundreds of thousands of years.

Thus, while hidden worlds are grand in scale, they are severely lacking in number compared to unclaimed territories.

At the far southern corner of the Thunderous Collision World was one of these numerous unclaimed territories.

Compared to all others, this unclaimed territory was genuinely unique.

There were no massive metropolis cities, large mountain ranges, great plains to travel upon, or any massive sea bodies.

In fact, there was barely any sign of human-like lifeforms or even any vicious beasts.

The only sight here was an endless and beautiful forest jungle. Here, the environment showcased its majestic splendor.

Glorious trees of all various sizes brightly bloomed, each of them having a wide array of multicolor fruit resources hanging off the branches.

The blades of grass were also unique resources that held distinctly gorgeous appearances. It was all a wide array of colors forming into what appeared like an extravagant rainbow.

From high above, one would be enthralled by such a sight.

Piling on the beauty of nature were blossoming flowers, bushes with magnificent fruit resources, and the occasional rose fields.

It indeed was a distinct difference from how other lifeforms, whether they're vicious beasts or various human-like races, terraform the environment to their needs.

Additionally, the lack of lifeforms here allowed the Divine Essence and Source Law environment to be several times purer.

Any low tier Holy Land force would greatly benefit from cultivating here.

However, because it is such a seemingly unimportant area, many in the Thunderous Collision World aren't even aware of its existence.

But, it didn't mean that it was completely devoid of life.

Deep within the blossoming forest jungle lay one small, seemingly missable house.

The house had a very traditional appearance, almost as if an ordinary mortal had made it. Its structures used everything from its surrounding to the trees, blades of grass, or lively bushes.

When seeing such a house, a God Galaxy's inhabit first instinct would be to cautiously explore. But when detecting nothing special was here, it would be promptly ignored.

The lowest expectations would only be held for an ordinary house constructed in a land largely devoid of any lifeforms.

A peacefully calm atmosphere permeated around the ordinary house.

But suddenly, faint purple flickers began to distort space. A powerful Divine aura fluctuated from the distorted space flickers.

Moments later, space torn, revealing the black void, and out stepped a beautiful woman.

A boundless aura that was like drowning in waves exuded from the fairy-like woman.

Her face carried an unbreakable calm expression. Her majestic might couldn't be concealed no matter how much she suppressed it.

This woman was Ancient Dragon Empress Shi Wei.
