"Mr. Hui, I am at the Supreme Heavenly Rank!"

"Mr. Hui, I am at the Supreme Heavenly Rank!"

"Supreme Heavenly Rank!"

"Circulation Heaven Position!"

"Supreme Heavenly Rank!"

In the backyard, one elder after another bowed towards Fang Yu.

If other cultivators were to see this, they would undoubtedly be shocked.

In this not so large backyard of the Fang Family, there were so many at the Supreme Heavenly Rank and Circulation Heaven Position, it was truly inconceivable.

In an instant, everyone had reported their strength.

Fang Yu also silently took stock in his heart—

"Very good! Thirty-eight at the Supreme Heavenly Rank, twenty-two at the Circulation Heaven Position!"

"Back in the day... under my command, the most at the Supreme Heavenly Rank reached five hundred... It's unexpected that only thirty-eight remain."

Everyone sighed incessantly.

Too many elders had long departed from this mortal world.

After all, more than a thousand years had passed.

Even during the era when the Dragon Emperor waged wars far and wide, those deceased brothers had lived for one to two thousand years.

Since over a thousand years ago, the sudden thinning of Spiritual Energy caused many cultivators to age and gradually die.

This had led to today's situation where urban areas held absolute dominance, and cultivators could only hide in deep mountains to survive by absorbing Spiritual Energy.

"Sir, now that we have restored our strength... when do we initiate the plan?" someone asked.

Fang Yu nodded and said with his hands behind his back, "No rush... You've just regained your strength, and it's not stable enough. I've arranged with Ziwei for seven days, and now five days remain. Consolidate your strength with full force, and then act according to plan."

"Yes!"

"Furthermore—" Fang Yu's gaze deepened, becoming somewhat stern.

This caused everyone to be dumbfounded, all watching Fang Yu with bated breath.

"Repair the backyard, whoever destroyed it, fixes it... If it's not fixed well, you'll see what's coming!"

After speaking, Fang Yu turned around and left.

"..."

Leaving behind the dumbstruck crowd.

They looked at each other and sighed, whispering, "A thousand years have passed, the Dragon Emperor's dominance has not decreased, but his magnanimity has become narrower!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Just after speaking.

A voice came—

"What of being narrow-minded? Hurry up and fix the backyard! I'm talking about you... Liu Yanghong, I'm punishing you to teach combat skills to everyone. Choose disciples yourself!"

"..."

Liu Yanghong stood there dumbfounded.

...

The next five days.

These powerful figures were stabilizing their cultivation in the Fang Family's backyard daily.

Because of the Array's protection, the outside world could not sense their presence at all.

Then came the day to embark on their journey.

The seventh day.

Chen Daotian, according to the plan, mobilized members of the Dark Web, stationed in major cities, gathering any possible attack information toward Tiandu Mountain.

The Xu Family from the Northern Desert, Luli Sect, and the Bai Ze lineage had people monitoring the Seventy-Two Sects.

Thirty-eight at the Supreme Heavenly Rank, twenty-two at the Circulation Heaven Position, divided into five small teams, separately heading to the head temples of the Five Great Divine Palaces.

The others remained at the Fang Family.

...

Fang Yu, alone, made his way towards Tiandu Mountain.

At the base of Tiandu Mountain.

Fang Yu stepped onto the lengthy staircase.

One step at a time.

He didn't need to see the road, as he was all too familiar with every piece of architecture here—their appearance, their origins. Because Fang Yu knew this place extremely well.

The scene in front of him was completely the same as the one in his mind.

"Here, this is Tiandu Mountain."

When Fang Yu reached the thousandth step, disciples finally appeared in his sight.

Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, knowing he was not far from the great gates of Tiandu Mountain.

Vast Jiuzhou.

This Tiandu Mountain should be the highest place, right?

Will be commanding from the top, overlooking all other mountains at a glance.

"Mr. Fang... have been waiting for you for a while... Empress Your Majesty asked me to meet you here." The arrival bowed.

"Do you recognize me?"

"The Empress gave me a photo of you." The man was holding the photo, smiling.

Unexpectedly, Empress Ziwei has lived in the city for a while and even learned how to take photos. Truly astonishing.

Fang Yu smiled and said: "Lead the way."

"Please follow me."

With this person leading the way.

The speed on the road was much faster.

The two wandered for more than thirty minutes, passing through many corridors, pavilions, waterside pavilions, buildings, and side halls before finally arriving at the most majestic building on Tiandu Mountain.

It was also the core of Tiandu Mountain.

The horizon was vast.

Spiritual energy surrounded the area.

The beauty was overwhelming.

"Tiandu Mountain, just as before, really is a remarkable place blessed by both earth and heaven." Fang Yu exclaimed.

The man couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Fang, have you been here before?"

"No, I've only heard people talk about it, but seeing it today, it really is as said." Fang Yu replied.

"You are absolutely right… This Tiandu Mountain truly is a land blessed by both earth and heavenly talents... Tiandu Mountain governs all of Jiuzhou, with the Five Great Divine Palaces stationed in four directions to protect Tiandu Mountain. There are as many as twenty thousand disciples alone."

"Twenty thousand?" Fang Yu frowned.

Recalling the peak times of Tiandu Mountain, there were far more than these numbers. At that time, there were no cities.

All under the heavens were almost all troops of Tiandu Mountain.

It was unimaginable that now, only twenty thousand remained… It had truly declined to the extreme.

"Mr. Fang, there is no need to be surprised, these twenty thousand are indeed too many... Nowadays among sects, Tiandu Mountain still holds the first place…" the man said proudly.

Fang Yu felt like he was going to explode with frustration.

Damn it, a sect of a million in the old days, now only twenty thousand, and still bragging!

Not long after,

The two arrived at the steps below Tiandu Hall.

There were two stone lions in front of the steps, majestic in appearance.

"Mr. Fang, I can only take you this far… For the rest, you will need to walk by yourself. I don't have the qualification to step into Tiandu Hall."

"Okay." Fang Yu replied indifferently.

The man's lips curled into a smile, and he turned and left.

…

Meanwhile,

Inside Tiandu Hall—

"Your Majesty, since he is a Saint Rank Doctor, why use a hundred level restriction to test him?" a person asked, bowing.

"This is precisely where Your Majesty's wisdom lies... This person is not only a Saint Rank Doctor, but also a top-ranked cultivator... Empress Your Majesty wants to use this hundred level restriction to test his strength!"

"Ignorant! This hundred level restriction isn't just about high cultivation. It depends on the mind, consciousness... Only those whose consciousness reaches a certain realm can successfully step over the hundred steps."

"Yes… Up to now, the only ones who have successfully stepped over the hundred steps are only Your Majesty and the..."

The sentence abruptly stopped.

In the Tiandu Palace.

Empress Ziwei looked indifferent, remained silent.

However, the maid Xia'er spoke without any inhibition: "You are right, so far, the only ones who could step over the hundred level restriction are Empress Your Majesty and the former Dragon Emperor… This hundred level restriction not only tests cultivation but also comprehension, determination… It can be said that this is the most difficult hundred level restriction in the Nine Provinces of Huaxia!"

Upon hearing this,

Everyone was astonished.

"So it seems, Mr. Fang is probably going to suffer!"

"Suffering a bit is good, let him know, our Tiandu Mountain isn't so easy to enter, also serves as a lesson!"

"Indeed, Her Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Everyone complimented.

Finally—

Empress Your Majesty spoke indifferently: "I am indeed testing his comprehension, strength… This hundred level restriction, if he can step over fifty levels, I will acknowledge him as one of the Divine Hall Masters of the Five Great Divine Palaces!"
