Pure Moon Immortal City is an ancient city.

Ancient, many cultivators can't even recall how long its history truly stretches.

Within the Immortal City, there are some formidable practitioners who emerged from Wenhua Palace long ago. They have grown old, silently guarding the Immortal City, never showing themselves because of its matters.

But this time, many ancient practitioners have appeared.

They gathered together, seemingly discussing the matters concerning the Cultural Totem.

"Such a mutation of the totem is certainly not a normal change. This Zhou Yan, who can exhibit the Shape-shifting Technique, must be an anomaly, perhaps harboring malicious intent from the start."

"How could someone from Sumeru Immortal Mountain be an anomaly? Or perhaps his Gift of Word Spirit threatens your great-grandson?"

"Old Wan, your words are divergent. Everyone knows Zhou Yan's Thirteen Soul Qi, yet he can defy the heavens, he must have a significant background. It wouldn't hurt to investigate!"

"Investigate? Are you forgetting the words of Sumeru Immortal Mountain? How can you think of acting against Zhou Yan with a Supreme identity?"

Another elder coldly ridiculed.

"Sumeru Immortal Mountain? That Bai Ying is just a little girl, how can she represent her master Lee Ling?"

"Lee Ling likely controls the Light Divine Domain, the energy behind the Cultural Totem stems from the Burial Immortal Land's Light Divine Domain. I don't know what you old fools are thinking, but if you intend to seize some cultivation method from Zhou Yan or understand the inheritance of the Cultural Totem, I advise you to abandon such thoughts."

Another elder spoke as well.

These elders, each one looking frail and emaciated, yet their Spirit is extremely terrifying, like primordial chaos energy masses, completely intact, with no loss or leakage.

Here, each one is anything but ordinary; they are truly the utmost strong practitioners.

"Indeed, some of you venerables seem truly senile, having moved with greed in your hearts. Since Sumeru Immortal Mountain has intervened, do you think half a year is a joke? Although half a year has passed now, Sumeru Immortal Mountain's hands-off approach actually shows trust towards us old fellows in the Purgatory Palace. If something goes awry at Wenhua Palace, I'm afraid Lee Ling's wrath would be beyond what you could bear."

"Lee Ling is alright, hehe, but look at Zhou Yan's techniques, isn't that the Path of Shape Transformation? He has already stepped into the Immortal; this shows Zhou Yan, even if not a cultivator of the Dark God Domain, can still harmonize with this Heaven and Earth. He should belong to the Divine Fist Venerable's people. I don't know if you've become muddle-headed or have forgotten the destruction catastrophe of the past. But I reckon if you don't want to live anymore then go make a move at the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, why engage in these suicidal actions here?!"

"Exactly, if you wish to die, do not drag us from the Dark God Domain Purgatory Palace into this. Have you been a Supreme for too long, now forgetting the most basic rules?"

"That is, after all, the Immortal Supreme Dao. If any of us gains it and transcends into immortality, wouldn't it be the liberation of the Dark God Domain?"

"Liberation? It could be disaster! Certainly, since this Dao is not in our hands, it means we lack the corresponding Life Chart. Force it? You should understand what Transformation is."

"Words are pointless, just afraid of dying, why speak in such pompous terms? Rest assured, I have my measures too, but I don't want anyone hindering my affairs, I will probe and then speak, it won't trouble the forces of the Dark God Domain Purgatory Palace, should be alright?!"

...

A group of very ancient elderlies gathered together, exchanging with Soul Sound among themselves.

These elderlies, at first glance, numbered over thirty, but many had emaciated eyes and deep eye sockets, like zombies.

Except for the moment when their soul power ripples, their frail bodies seemed majestic and vast as a mountain, otherwise, at any other time, they appeared as simple old frail men, with no hint of anomaly.

Yet, it's precisely such unremarkable individuals who are in fact the true pinnacle practitioners of the Dark God Domain, peak cultivators.

"Humph, with such thoughts, you will never tread the Immortal path."

"But you lack such thoughts, and you aren't better than us!"

"Old codger of the Yang Family, I reckon you're courting death!"

"Attack then? I'm so scared!"

"If you want to strike, then strike, afraid of you we are not!"

"Are you two mad? Fighting in this place?"

"Go to the Outer Heaven Demon Battlefield, fight to mutual destruction, then be targeted by the Crystal War Chariot's energy ray, instantly die altogether, even better!"

A female voice coldly spoke.

After this voice appeared, the scene suddenly grew silent, immediately falling into pin-drop silence.

"Moon Immortal."

All venerables were affected, a feeling of trepidation emerged, and their voices carried a hint of respect upon hearing this Female Venerable's voice.

Equally supreme, evidently this Moon Immortal is stronger than the other venerables.

"The matters of the Life Divine Domain have concluded. However, the Returning to Truth Clan has obtained the inheritance, opened the orthodox path of sacrifice, and acquired the Life Soul Sea of the Life Divine Soul. Among them, one named 'Gles' has already entered the Dark God Domain."

"This time, Gles was unable to comprehend the Cultural Totem and lost the qualification to seize the Light Divine Domain."

"Thus, speaking anything is futile, let those geniuses go compete in the sharp edges."

"Of course, if you wish to dispatch someone for assassination, I am completely against it, and might even support. Because if a genius can be assassinated to death, then they are waste. If they can be assassinated by their own people, what's the difference with being assassinated by the enemy?"

"Each of you draft an assassination plan against Zhou Yan, consider it as honing him. Don't you all cultivate geniuses with bloodline yourselves? Send them out, I offer you Life Soul Sea to augment, exchange for your children to perform the assassination."

"Once successful, your children can gain more from the corresponding part of the Wen Hua inheritance, and simultaneously attain the status that Zhou Yan possesses, seizing his Qi Fortune."

"If failed, then the talented descendants of your bloodline are no more than ordinary; whether dead or alive, the difference is minimal."

The woman spoke coldly, her words like issuing some kind of command.

Many Venerables remained silent.

"Those willing, handle it on your own; those unwilling, get lost and stop gathering here to disgrace yourselves, a bunch of useless wastes!"

The Moon Immortal suddenly cursed. Her attitude was somewhat cold and aggressive.

Yet no Venerables resisted, or rather, some Venerables disdained debating with a woman, and on another note, perhaps the Moon Immortal's combat power was indeed far superior to theirs.

Outmatched, being cursed by a woman was normal to the extreme; all had climbed to the Supreme Realm, their skin had long been cultivated to an invincible level, deeply understanding the way of seeking fortune and avoiding disaster.

In such circumstances, amid the Moon Immortal's reprimand, many Venerables inexplicably sighed, shook their heads, and suddenly disappeared.

Yet, on-site, there remained eight Venerables who had not left.

These ones listened to the Moon Immortal's order; it was clear they were not content.

Or rather, the energy displayed by the Cultural Totem was too shocking to the heart, too powerful, so powerful that even some Supreme beings were moved by it.

"You chose to stay, which clearly means you have plans, good. After I went out, I seized part of the Word Spirit methods from the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, I will bestow you with Word Spirit blessings to the talented descendants you nurture, enhancing their combat power, conditioning their vitality to make them reach the ultimate peak.

They are all top geniuses of Divine Spirit Nine Transitions, with their combat power in conjunction with the Venerable devices and Damaged Immortal Soldiers, slaying what Tai Chu Heavenly Venerate is not without hope.

Plus, it's an assassination, when multiple hands strike there will certainly be a chance.

You add some one-time Supreme attack paths to ensure foolproof success."

"If successful, everything is easy to discuss. If failed, just sever ties."

The Moon Immortal suddenly said.

"Fairy, didn't you say—"

"What I think, you need not know. More nonsense, and I'll take your head!"

The Moon Immortal coldly said.

The speaking Venerable's neck shrunk, and he actually said nothing.

"Indeed, I am indeed displeased with Zhou Yan, but it's not hatred. I intend to choose a talented person for the inheritance of Word Spirit Gift, but this also serves as a kind of test. Me possessing this ability is somewhat wasteful, it's better to cultivate a truly exceptional genius. If you fail, when Gles comes and succeeds, you'll regret immeasurably. After all compared to Gles, you are considered insiders, and can be trusted more."

The Moon Immortal added.

Several Venerables nodded repeatedly, very much agreeing with the Moon Immortal's words.

A trace of cold smile appeared at the corners of the Moon Immortal's mouth, yet she said nothing and left first.

While the eight Venerables immediately began to discuss, and then started to arrange.

And in a certain void fissure outside the Void, the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl returned from the appearance of the Moon Immortal, her eyes filled with even more intense hatred.

"Zhou Yan, this time I also make a move; I use Word Spirit to suppress my own Word Spirit, if wounded, you must be wounded, but I destroy my own gift, severing ties with you, you will die, whereas I merely suffer permanent damage to my gift!"

"But, as long as I can punish you, I regret none of it!"

The Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl seemed entirely transformed, speaking with extreme resentment.

...

Wenhua Palace, in a mountain-picturesque pavilion within the cabinet.

Zhou Yan stood under an Ancient Pine Tree, gently breathing, feeling indescribably at ease.

Suddenly, his complexion turned solemn, an indescribable sting abruptly arose, as if suddenly splitting the powerful gift of Word Spirit, seemed like some inexplicable energy was stripped and was not belonging to him.

But at that moment, the golden bead in the Soul Sea suddenly emitted a divine ray, instantly devouring the Word Spirit gift, causing Zhou Yan to instantly lose the Word Spirit gift.

"Hmm? What's going on? Is the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl acting up? Could she be self-harming?"

Zhou Yan's expression instantly became somewhat unpredictable.

Subsequently, Zhou Yan's face showed some unpleasantness, he suddenly felt the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl was excessively overstepping — knowing the future of the Human Clan was bleak, yet at this time she self-severs the gift to harm Zhou Yan, it was truly reckless, heedless of the height of the heavens and depth of the earth!

Zhou Yan felt an inexpressible anger, though he quickly calmed down.

Thereafter, Zhou Yan began derivation, but this derivation, derived an exceedingly fierce great ominous anomaly.

Zhou Yan's heart sank, immediately gathering the Heavenly Mechanism Fortune and Merit Power, once more carefully analyzing and deriving, after which Zhou Yan's expression became somewhat indeterminate.
