"Master."

Wang Xu approached the Azure-robed Divine Master, but his expression changed.

"Master, you are..."

The Azure-robed Divine Master's face was as pale as paper, his entire being weak to the extreme.

"Don't concern yourself with this."

The Azure-robed Divine Master gave a bitter smile and waved his hand.

He took out the iron box, removed the severed hand, and placed it back into the iron box.

Instantly, his complexion improved slightly.

"This Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection is too powerful, even I cannot wield it for an extended period."

The Azure-robed Divine Master lightly coughed twice; even as a person at the Saint Venerable Dominator Realm, the damage it inflicted on him was considerable.

This is the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, the body of an ancient person.

Its continued existence with such formidable power is a testament to the terror of the ancients.

Forcibly merging with the human body to harness the power of this Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection is akin to consuming forbidden medicine, requiring the consumption of a large amount of life force, and most importantly, "Constant Force."

Over years of cultivation, the Azure-robed Divine Master accumulated quite a bit of Constant Force.

Yet merely three attacks left him struggling to endure; thus, the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection is not omnipotent.

It is precisely because of this that the Azure-robed Divine Master did not pursue the two Divine Masters.

Not even those Divine Gate Elders and various powerful figures took action.

The consumption for the Azure-robed Divine Master was simply too great.

"In this battle, regardless of the outcome, the two divine gates and Imperial Extreme have completely torn through the facade."

The Azure-robed Divine Master said seriously, "I know the temperament of those two very well. Not being able to completely annihilate the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect this time means they will surely continue to prepare, amassing power, waiting to ignite the second war."

Wang Xu's face was grave.

The divine gates can no longer return to times of peace; only conquest remains.

Either the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect survives, and the two divine gates disappear.

Or the two divine gates survive, and the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect is destroyed.

There is no third possibility.

"Master, those two are not your match, returning to power won't be that easy for them."

Wang Xu said.

With the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, the Azure-robed Divine Master's power is sufficient to expel the two Divine Masters. As long as the Azure-robed Divine Master is present, even if a second war erupts, Imperial Extreme will certainly have no issues.

"No, you underestimate those two. They are treacherous, and to achieve their goals, they will resort to any means. If my guess is correct, they are already planning to head to neighboring divine continents to invite other divine gates to join this war."

The Azure-robed Divine Master said solemnly.

"In doing so, are they not afraid that their own divine gates might also be devoured?"

Wang Xu had participated in wars and knew that the purpose of initiating a war is only one—benefit.

Eternal benefit is the only condition that drives war.

If the two Divine Masters are willing to pay any cost, inviting divine gates from other divine continents to join this war, even if they win, they might not get much of the reward.

Who would do such laborious and unrewarding things?

"If you could interact with them more, you would find that this concern means little to them."

The Azure-robed Divine Master said in a deep voice, "The two are not my match, and keeping me alive will only be a fatal future threat. In matters of life and interest, their calculations are finer than yours."

Wang Xu felt a heavy weight in his heart.

The state of chaos was much more complicated than he had imagined.

His master now posed a threat to the two divine gates; as long as the master held the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, they would live in fear every day.

Rather than living in fear, always on guard for enemy attacks, it would be better to take the initiative and cede these benefits in exchange for peace.

"I know too well their methods, so this is why I sought you this time."

The Azure-robed Divine Master looked towards Wang Xu, "Currently, in the entire Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, you are the most suitable for this task."

"Master, just give your command."

The Azure-robed Divine Master had entrusted Wang Xu with matters, always allowing him to freely manage his time.

Now discussing this matter with a solemn expression, it must be of great significance.

"They can go to neighboring divine continents for help, but our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect cannot sit and wait for death."

The Azure-robed Divine Master flipped his hand, and a peculiar jade pendant appeared in his palm.

From the aura it emitted, it was clear this is a Divine Treasure, capable of supporting an Energy Barrier to fend off attacks.

The jade pendant was wholly jade-white, shaped like a hooked jewel, round and smooth, with a misty glow swirling over the jade body.

Wang Xu took the jade pendant.

"You are to head to the 'Buddha Transformation Divine Continent', and find the 'Nine Clouds Divine Sect'. The Nine Clouds Divine Master is an old friend who shared life and death with me. As long as you bring this token and explain the plight of the Imperial Extreme, he will surely come to our aid!"

The Azure-robed Divine Master said with gravity, "Based on my estimation, in no more than a hundred years, the two Divine Masters will surely unite foreign forces to launch a second destruction of Imperial Extreme. Therefore, no matter what you encounter on your journey, you must return within a hundred years!"

A hundred years...

The time is neither long nor short, but considering the travel time to and from the two divine continents in a hundred years, it shows how far the distance is.

"This is the map to the Buddha Transformation Divine Continent. Follow the route I marked, and you might save half of your journey time. However, it's been tens of thousands of years since I last went to the Buddha Transformation Divine Continent, and unforeseen changes might arise. You must be very careful."

The Blue-robed Divine Master advised.

Wang Xu nodded and put away the jade pendant.

"Go, time waits for no one. Go quickly and return promptly."

The Blue-robed Divine Master waved his sleeve.

Wang Xu respectfully made a salute, then stepped on a white cloud and soared away.

The Blue-robed Divine Master watched his departing figure and let out a silent sigh in his heart.

He turned to look at the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, filled with blazing flames and thick smoke, now a total ruin, with sadness in his eyes.

In fact, the Blue-robed Divine Master had hidden the truth from Wang Xu, not telling him the real situation.

According to the conduct of the two Divine Masters, they would never postpone the second war for a hundred years; at most, it would be fifty years before the war erupted completely.

"I hope that when you return, Imperial Extreme will still be here..."

…

The white cloud beneath Wang Xu's feet was another Chaos Secret Scripture granted by the Blue-robed Divine Master.

"Rising Sun Cloud Soaring Technique."

A Chaos Secret Scripture that boosts body technique speed several times with minimal consumption of primordial qi.

But this Chaos Secret Scripture is somewhat mediocre.

It seems to increase body technique speed several times, but in real combat, it is utterly ineffective, revealing its utility only in travel or escape.

"Wang Xu, aren't you curious?"

The shadowy red-robed figure of You Ji appeared, and unlike before, his phantom body now had some substance. He held an apple and took a big bite.

"Curious, but since Master won't tell me the reason, he must have his intentions."

Wang Xu's face was expressionless, his gaze contemplative.

By rights, this task of calling for reinforcements shouldn't fall on Wang Xu.

After all, he is only at the Initial Celestial God Realm. With such a long journey, putting aside who or what dangers he might encounter, the time required to traverse this distance alone should necessitate sending a major figure of the Eternal Generations Celestial God or a Divine Sect Elder from the Billion Era Celestial God to carry it out.

Wang Xu pondered the reason in his mind.

But he couldn't fathom the intention of the Blue-robed Divine Master.

"Heh heh, he's protecting you."

You Ji took another large bite of the apple, laughing, "You are his favored direct disciple. In his heart, your future achievements will certainly be no less than his own. By doing this, he clearly wants you to grasp a slim chance to survive so you can avenge the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect in the future."

"Of course, this is also a trial for you. Crossing such a vast distance, the unforeseen perils you encounter along the way are bound to be extraordinarily dangerous. He gave you no treasures, intending for you to face difficulties alone and solve them by yourself, fostering the potential within you to become a strong person."

Wang Xu fell silent for a time.

As You Ji said, the Blue-robed Divine Master sent him on this perilous mission to test him and protect him.

If Wang Xu fails to reach the Buddha Transformation Divine Continent and dies along the way,

it would only demonstrate that Wang Xu doesn't have the fate to become a true strongman.

But if Wang Xu successfully reaches the Buddha Transformation Divine Continent and finds the Nine Cloud Divine Master to bring reinforcements,

even if by then, the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect is already destroyed, at least the Nine Cloud Divine Master will see him in good light and take him under his wing.

The Blue-robed Divine Master had considered Wang Xu's future from the very beginning.

"Originally, I thought you would cultivate in peace for several hundred years and then participate in the Celestial God List contest. With your power after several hundred years of cultivation, winning would be certain. But who would've thought the Divine Sect war would happen instead..."

You Ji shook his head, saying, "Pray, pray that at the very least you won't die on this journey!"

Wang Xu ignored You Ji, closed his eyes, his legs and feet together, hands clasped in front of him, entering a cultivation state.

Cultivating "Emperor's Extreme Divine Suppression Record" differs from other cultivation methods.

Wang Xu doesn't need to sit cross-legged to enter cultivation. He can stand, allowing his constant force to circulate within his body, tempering his flesh and blood, enhancing his life level.

The constant force within Wang Xu was thin, limiting his life level enhancement to an extremely small extent.

But at this moment, Wang Xu had no other choice but to use this slight amount of constant force to slowly strengthen his physique.

If there comes a day when he can reach the terrifying flesh and blood realm of the ancients, Wang Xu could contend with the Eternal Generations Celestial God using his Initial Celestial God Realm!

This is the terror of the flesh.

…

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

Wang Xu had traveled through the void for three full years.

In three years, he saw countless mountains and rivers, passed numerous imperial divine gates, yet it wasn't until today, three years later, that he finally left the Red Sun Divine Continent.

"Sea of Immeasurable, let's test Thunder Radiance Body Refining and see how many strikes of infinite thunder radiance you can withstand this time!"

You Ji mischievously suggested.

Previously, Wang Xu had undergone Thunder Refinement in the Sea of Immeasurable once, and each blast left him charred and wretched, making You Ji laugh uproariously.

Passing by the Sea of Immeasurable this time, You Ji clearly wanted to repeat the trick, making Wang Xu embarrassed once more.

"Alright." Wang Xu's eyes flashed.

To reach another divine continent, he must traverse the Sea of Immeasurable. Rather than using the meager constant force to refine his body, it would be better to take a bath under the chaotic thunder radiance!
