“What did I do wrong?”

Emperor Hongyun is still unwilling to admit his failure.

“What did you do wrong? Because of you, the Life-and-Death Gate of the Everbright Realm is almost destroyed, my sect’s grand plan has been seriously affected, do you not consider that a crime?”

The one who spoke this time was the Ancestor of Wu Xiang.

“Hongyun, it’s indeed your mistake concerning the Everbright Realm, just admit it!”

The Ancestor Black Cloud started to speak, urging Emperor Hongyun to admit his mistake, yet somehow lessening the gravity of the error in order to reduce his punishment.

If it were only about the Everbright Realm, the problem would not be too serious.

But if it affected the resurrection of the Sect Hierarch, there would indeed be major trouble.

“I!”

Emperor Hongyun wanted to argue, but was immediately glared at fiercely by the Black Cloud Daozu.

“Hongyun admits his mistake, but hopes for another chance. I underestimated the situation this time, but next time I will certainly rebuild the Life-and-Death Gate in the Everbright Realm and bring it back to its former glory.”

Even now, Emperor Hongyun was still reluctant to relinquish his position as the person in charge of the Everbright Realm.

Hongyun knew that the Sect Hierarch was about to be revived, and he needed to have a role that could contribute to the Gate of Life and Death in order to be remembered by the Sect Hierarch.

Otherwise, even if he was a disciple of the Daozu, he would be nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the Sect Hierarch.

“No way! He’s made such a big mistake, how could he be in charge of the Everbright Realm again!”

The Ancestor of Wu Xiang was the first to stand up in opposition.

“That’s right, I think we should let Su Yan be in charge of the Everbright Realm again. After all, Su Yan has experience and has previously achieved success. Right now, it’s most appropriate to let Su Yan take control of the situation.”

Quickly, the higher-ups of the Gate of Life and Death were divided into two factions.

One faction supported Su Yan, and the other supported Emperor Hongyun; neither would back down.

Now, the most important figures in the Gate of Life and Death were Black Cloud Daozu and the Ancestor of Wu Xiang.

However, they didn’t realize that Su Yan, whom everyone supported, was actually a bit reluctant at the moment.

Taking over the Life-and-Death Gate of the Everbright Realm now wasn’t the best timing for Su Yan.

Just at this moment, the Corpse Bone Ancestor, one of the top three Daozu of the Gate of Life and Death, suddenly appeared.

“I support giving Emperor Hongyun another chance.”

Among the three Daozu, two sided with Emperor Hongyun, which made the face of Ancestor Wu Xiang turn green.

The Corpse Bone Ancestor might not belong to the human clan, but out of the three Daozu he holds the highest position because his cultivation level is the highest.

The Ancestor Wu Xiang is the most important one, but the Corpse Bone Ancestor is the strongest one.

As soon as the Corpse Bone Ancestor voiced his opinion, even those who originally sided with the Ancestor Wu Xiang changed their mind.

The Ancestor Wu Xiang understood that the matter was settled and did not say anything further.

The disagreement between the three Daozu gave Su Yan an idea.

If given the chance, shouldn’t she try to win over the Ancestor Wu Xiang?

Others might not dare to have this thought, but is Su Yan just like everyone else? Obviously not.

“Alright, let Hongyun continue to control the Life-and-Death Gate of the Everbright Realm. Hongyun, I hope you won’t disappoint us this time.”

Emperor Hongyun nodded excitedly: “Master, I’ll definitely won’t disappoint you this time.”

Wu Xiang Ancestor did not object anymore, and left with Su Yan.

“Su Yan, it was indeed miscalculated by your master this time, you don’t have to be disappointed.”

The Ancestor Wu Xiang thought that Su Yan would be upset, and comforted her without realizing that this was the outcome Su Yan desired.

Of course, she wanted to control the Life-and-Death Gate of the Everbright Realm, but not at this moment.

If Su Yan wanted to take control, she would wait until everything was completely stable.

For now, let Emperor Hongyun enjoy himself a little longer.

Emperor Hongyun returned to the Everbright Realm once again, but this time, instead of gathering his forces directly, he sought out the Immortal Emperors of the Yin and Yang Door in the Everbright Realm.

Given the current situation in the Everbright Realm, it was impossible to recruit people internally.

Emperor Hongyun thought that the best way to develop the Gate of Life and Death was to cooperate with the Yin and Yang Door and then recruit powerful Immortal Emperors from other major worlds.

“Ye Xiaoxiao, I’ll be back soon.”

As a disciple of Daozu, the identity of Emperor Hongyun was still highly appreciated.

It did not take long for him to recruit quite a few cultivators to join the Gate of Life and Death.

Among them, many were cultivators that Emperor Hongyun had previously kept in reserve.

After this great battle, Emperor Hongyun no longer held any contempt towards Dayu Immortal Dynasty.

Emperor Hongyun concluded, that to eradicate Dayu Immortal Dynasty, the first and most crucial step was to wipe out the Star Troop.

The combat power demonstrated by the Star Troop posed a huge threat to Emperor Hongyun.

Merely the two spirit armies, the White Tiger and the Azure Dragon, already possessed the power to slay an Immortal Emperor.

If all four spirit armies were to combine, one could only imagine the magnitude of their strength.

The current Star Troop was relatively weak, but if their cultivation level were to further surge, tackling them would become more challenging.

Emperor Hongyun turned his primary invasion target to the Star Troop.

In Emperor Hongyun’s view, every person had weaknesses.

By exploiting these weaknesses, one can win over most people.

This time, Emperor Hongyun didn’t strike, and a rare tranquility descended upon the Everbright Realm.

However, while the Everbright Realm was in peace, the situation in other grand universes became even more difficult.

A whole thirteen grand universes came under attack from the Gate of Life and Death and the Yin and Yang Door.

Countless cultivators speculated on the origins of the Yin and Yang Door and the Gate of Life and Death.

The Gate of Life and Death and the Yin and Yang Door had been hidden for tens of thousands of years.

But existence always left traces behind.

Not a few long-lived Ancestor Realm powerhouses had heard of the Gate of Life and Death and the Yin and Yang Door.

In the Purple Cloud Universe, five Daozu gathered.

“Recently, the fortune of the Human Clan has started to wane, we can’t let the Gate of Life and Death and the Yin and Yang Door continue to wreak havoc.”

Ancestor without Harm said.

The fortune of the Human Clan was a mysterious thing.

When the Human Clan thrived, its fortune was high.

As the Human Clan weakened, its fortune would decrease.

Every race had its own fortune.

However, the fluctuations of this fortune had little impact on ordinary cultivators.

But for top cultivators like the Daozu Realm powerhouses of the Human Clan, the impact was significant.

If the fortune declined too much, these top powerhouses of the Human Clan would gradually receive suppression from the Cosmic Will.

Whether it was cultivation or comprehension, they would be affected.

The Cosmic Will was very fair and would not single out any particular race.

Therefore, maintaining the prosperity of a clan was the responsibility of these top powerhouses from each race.

In addition, these five Daozu also had the highest power in these thirteen grand universes.

The Gate of Life and Death was undermining the foundation of their sect, naturally, they could not tolerate it.

“I have already determined the location of the Gate of Life and Death in space, we should strike directly!”

Ancestor without Harm said lightly. There were, after all, a total of five Daozu Realm powerhouses on their side. Dealing with the Gate of Life and Death would be a piece of cake.

“Exactly, let’s set off now.” Stone Heaven Ancestor agreed.

The other three Daozu echoed their agreement, but they failed to see the hidden murderous intent in the eyes of Ancestor without Harm and Stone Heaven Ancestor.

This is how the five Daozu ended up at the base of the Gate of Life and Death.

The three Ancestors of Wu Xiang made their appearance as soon as they sensed the Daozu’s arrival.

No one would have guessed that the headquarters of such a behemoth like the Gate of Life and Death was set in the Middle Thousand Worlds.

And Black Cloud Daozu was the World Master of this realm.

“Gate of Life and Death, you still have a chance to withdraw from the Human Clan’s territories.”

Hanhai Daozu, the Sect Master of the Hanhai Immortal Sect, had not expected the Gate of Life and Death to have three Daozu Realm powerhouses behind it.

Although they had five Daozu Realm powerhouses on their side, facing three Daozu Realm powerhouses, they could not be sure to keep all of them here.

If one or two escaped, it would be a problem for them.

Which force could endure the endless harassment of a Daozu?

Therefore, Hanhai Daozu changed his mind. If the Gate of Life and Death could retreat their army, they could let bygones be bygones.

“Offering us an opportunity? Are you sure you’re offering us an opportunity?”

Bone Ancestor revealed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. The three Daozu then instantly dispersed, encircling the five Daozu from three directions.
