In the Sword Mansion, Jian Wushuang summoned Hu Yang.

“Hu Yang, my wife and I will leave this place soon,” Jian Wushuang said directly.

“Leave?” Hu Yang was stunned and asked, “Teacher, where are you going?”

“Outside this world, it should be a very distant place for you. I plan to give this Sword Mansion to you.”

Jian Wushuang looked at Hu Yang and waved his hand, sending a sword essence directly into Hu Yang’s body. “I’ve left a sword principle in your body. This sword essence has barely reached the threshold of a Principles Master. You can comprehend it on your own. If you can completely comprehend and master this sword essence in the future, you can leave this world to find me. I’ll take you in as an in-name disciple.”

“Have you completely comprehended the sword essence?” Hu Yang clenched his hands. “I’ll definitely work hard.”

“Yes.”

Jian Wushuang nodded.

After giving his instructions, he left with Leng Rushuang.

As for the Sword Mansion, it was opened casually by him. Among the disciples of the Sword Mansion, Jian Wushuang only admired Hu Yang a little. However, what he admired was Hu Yang’s temperament. He left a sword essence behind, it was very difficult for Hu Yang to completely master the sword essence with his talent. This was also a test for Hu Yang.

If he could really master the sword essence in the future, Jian Wushuang would not mind taking him as an in-name disciple.

After leaving the Wu Tan Secret Realm, Leng Rushuang chose to return to the Eternal Saint World. Jian Wushuang immediately set off for Star Palace.

…

The security in Star Palace was obviously much stricter than before.

When Jian Wushuang arrived at Star Palace, Daoist Xuan God, Temporal Temple Master, Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master, and the Divine Ancestor were already waiting for him.

“My young friend, I’m sorry to disturb your reunion with your wife,” Daoist Xuan God said apologetically.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s get down to business,” Jian Wushuang said in a deep voice. “You called me here in such a hurry. Something must have happened in Star Palace, right?”

“Yes, Star Palace has encountered a crisis this time,” Xuan God Dao said.

“Crisis? Is It Ancient Night Demon Palace?” Jian Wushuang frowned and asked.

Star Palace’s overall strength was extremely powerful now. Not only did it have him, but Xuan God and the others also had the battle strength of four Rulers and thousands of Principles Masters. With such strength, in this Star Field, the only person who could bring danger to the Star Palace was most likely the Ancient Night Demon Palace, which had been created by Demon Monarch Ancient Night.

“Right.” Xuan God nodded, then began to explain in detail.

“This matter arose because of the Three-layered Dao Realm, a supreme law treasure.”

“The Three-layered Dao Realm’s effects are heaven-defying. In the beginning, we didn’t use the Three-layered Dao Realm for the entire Divine Beginning Realm, but as each cultivator entered the Three-layered Dao Realm, their power increased dramatically. In order to increase the combat power of the Divine Beginning Realm as quickly as possible, we began to delay things in the Divine Beginning Realm, gathering a large number of experts from various powers to enter and train.”

“Although all of this was done in the Divine Beginning Realm, there are spies and spies from the other Astral Worlds, as well as the various factions in the Star Field. All of the experts from the various factions in the Star Field have received the news of us sending people into the Three-layered Dao Realm in such a grand fashion. Naturally, this news has also reached the Ancient Night Demon Palace.”

“The Ancient Night Demon Palace is now the absolute overlord of this Star Field. Judging from the way that Demon Monarch Ancient Night acted before, he has always been incomparably tyrannical. Previously, it was only because our Star Field was relatively weak that the Ancient Night Demon Palace looked down on us. However, now that the marvel of this Three-layered Dao Realm has caused countless experts in this Star Field to sigh in amazement, the Ancient Night Demon Palace is naturally interested.”

“A few days ago, Ruler Jun Yun, a subordinate of Ancient Night Demon Palace, came to our Star Palace.”

“Ruler Jun Yun?” Jian Wushuang’s expression changed.

He also knew that Ruler Jun Yun was a solitary Ruler in this Star Field. His battle strength was relatively strong among Advanced Rulers, and he was cunning. He had a grudge with many big forces in this Star Field. After the rise of Demon Monarch Ancient Night, after destroying the North Sea Palace and establishing Demon Monarch Ancient Night, Ruler Jun Yun had joined the palace and become one of the Rulers under Demon Monarch Ancient Night.

“When Ruler Jun Yun arrived, he immediately asked for the Three-layered Dao Realm. Of course, his words were more pleasant to hear. He said that Demon Monarch Ancient Night was quite interested in the Three-layered Dao Realm and wanted to borrow it for fun. Later, he would send it back to my Star Palace.” Daoist Xuan God snickered, “We naturally wouldn’t believe such lies from a three-year-old child.”

“When we refused to give him the Three-layered Dao Realm, Ruler Jun Yun immediately fell out with us, and they even began to fight. However, although Ruler Jun Yun is quite powerful, and is considered extremely powerful even amongst high-level Rulers, the four of us have been training in the Three-layered Dao Realm over the past few years, and our power has increased tremendously. In addition to those supreme true treasures you brought back earlier, my young Heavenly Marquis…we were able to easily get rid of him.”

“Of course, for the sake of Demon Monarch Ancient Night, we only defeated him and allowed him to leave. However, after he returned, he informed Demon Monarch Ancient Night of this matter and added fuel to the fire, saying that our Star Palace had humiliated him in a great way. This angered Demon Monarch Ancient Night greatly, and he directly sent word that within ten years, this palace lord of Star Palace will personally bring the Three-layered Dao Realm to apologize to the Ancient Night Demon Palace. Otherwise, he will directly attack and completely destroy our Star Palace.”

When Daoist Xuan God finished speaking, his expression clearly carried a hint of worry.

He was not the only one. Daoist Xuan God, the leader of the Heaven-cleaving Alliance, and the Divine Ancestor were the same as well.

Although they had trained in the Three-layered Dao Realm over the years and had greatly increased their strength, when faced with Demon Monarch Ancient Night, who had been able to kill Ruler Sky Roc with a single strike and severely injure Ruler Kun Yu…they did not have the confidence to face him.

“I understand.”

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly after hearing it.

He already understood the cause and effect of this matter. It was nothing more than that the Three-layered Dao Realm was too magical and attracted the covetous eyes of Ancient Night Demon Palace.

However, the Three-layered Dao Realm was a principle supreme treasure that he brought out from the Red Cloud World. It was of unprecedented use to the entire Divine Beginning Realm. How could Xuan God and the others hand it over.

“Young friend Heavenly Marquis, we called you over this time because we want to discuss a countermeasure together. We want to see how we can resolve this crisis in Star Palace,” said the Temporal Temple Master.

“We absolutely can not hand over the Three-layered Dao Realm. There’s no need to doubt that,” said Daoist Xuan God seriously.

“Right.” The Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master and Divine Ancestor nodded in unison.

“Xuan God, in my opinion, why don’t we just give up Star Palace and return to the Divine Beginning Realm? From now on, we won’t be able to leave the Divine Beginning Realm. Your Demon Monarch Ancient Night is powerful, but as long as we stay in the Divine Beginning Realm, he won’t be able to do anything to us,” said the Heaven-cleaving Alliance Master in a low voice.
