Chapter 1486: Chapter 360: No Rules

"The Supreme has returned!"

Ziyun Luo, who was secretly cultivating within the Divine Peak, suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly stood up to salute when he saw Shen Changqing in front of him.

He was becoming more accustomed to his identity, and his salutation grew more skillful.

Shen Changqing nodded: "Is there any news about the intelligence I asked you to gather?"

"Not at the moment."

Ziyun Luo shook his head, then added.

"But rest assured, Supreme, I have been gathering information on the Ancient Ruins with all my might. I believe it won’t be long before there is news.

After all, this is an era of great strife, and the probability of the Ancient Ruins emerging during such times is much higher than usual."

"The probability of the Ancient Ruins emerging is higher during an era of great strife?"

Shen Changqing looked surprised.

Ziyun Luo nodded: "Indeed, the prosperity of an era of great strife provides incomparable opportunities for cultivators of the Heavens Myriad Clans. The emergence of the Ancient Ruins is thus even more predictable."

"I see."

Shen Changqing’s expression turned understanding.

If that truly were the case, then it would certainly be a good thing for him.

"If you handle this matter well, you will surely be rewarded."

"If you truly dedicate yourself to serving me, it is not impossible for you to become the emperor of the Ziyun Clan."

Finally, he painted a grand vision for Ziyun Luo.

After all, painting visions is free, so it doesn’t hurt to say more.

Besides,

Shen Changqing himself genuinely had such thoughts.

On the other side,

When Ziyun Luo heard this, his heart suddenly shook violently.

The emperor of the Ziyun Clan!

He had never had such thoughts.

Wanting to become the emperor of the Ziyun Clan is not a simple matter. Although he is not weak, he still lacks something to subdue the clan.

After all, the Ziyun Clan cannot be compared to other weaker clans; its strength is enough to rank among the top clans.

"With my current strength, I’m afraid there’s no chance!" Ziyun Luo sighed.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to become the emperor of the Ziyun Clan, but he knows his own situation.

Given his current state, prolonging his lifespan is already a fortune; where dare he think of anything else.

Shen Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm: "As long as you dedicate yourself to serving me, achieving the Fourth Realm of God King in the future is not a problem. If you can reach the Fourth Realm of God King, naturally you can become the emperor of the Ziyun Clan.

As for the Python Emperor’s issue, you don’t have to worry; I can promise to make you the emperor of the Ziyun Clan and will clear all obstacles for you."

Clearing obstacles!

Ziyun Luo could hear the underlying message in the words.

His previously calm heart trembled slightly.

With the Python Emperor ruling the Ziyun Clan, naturally, he has no chance to become the emperor of the Ziyun Clan, but what if the Python Emperor perishes?

Throughout the Ziyun Clan,

aside from the ancient God King in seclusion in the forbidden area, he is the strongest below the Python Emperor.

With the Python Emperor present, he wouldn’t have the chance to take charge.

But if the Python Emperor weren’t there, Ziyun Luo felt there might be a possibility for him to take control of the Ziyun Clan.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing’s words stirred different ideas in him.

No one is willing to remain under others; it’s all due to insufficient strength.

If he could truly become the emperor of the Ziyun Clan, Ziyun Luo would certainly not refuse.

"I have always been loyal to the Supreme, never harboring the slightest disloyalty."

"That would be best!"

Shen Changqing nodded, and a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him, pressing down on Ziyun Luo like a giant mountain.

"I’ll speak plainly, what I can give you, I can take back entirely. If you ever have the slightest disloyalty, don’t blame me."

"I understand!"

Ziyun Luo’s forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he hurriedly responded.

With those words,

the intimidating aura receded, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden was lifted.

"Let’s talk about the affairs of the Five Clans now!" Shen Changqing shifted the topic, no longer dwelling on it, and turned to other matters.

The Origin Points were nearly exhausted.

In the future, to comprehend the Laws, the fastest way is to gather more Origin Points.

The experts of the Five Clans naturally became his primary target.

Ziyun Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, then bowed his head and said: "Due to the Ziyun Clan’s reliance on the Heaven and Earth for defense, the Five Clans are currently focusing on the Eternal Ancient Continent, fully besieging the Purple Cloud Sect, attempting to eradicate it from the Eternal Ancient Continent."

The Ziyun Clan had paid a heavy price to establish the Purple Cloud Sect in the Eternal Ancient Continent.

If the Purple Cloud Sect were to be uprooted this time, it would be much more difficult for the Ziyun Clan to establish a sect on the Eternal Ancient Continent in the future.

Moreover,

without the resources of the Eternal Ancient Continent, the Ziyun Clan would be akin to losing an arm. The short-term effects might not be evident, but over time, the problem would become apparent.

Obviously.

The Five Families are attacking the Purple Cloud Sect with the intent of achieving such ambitions.

In their eyes.

Since the Ziyun Clan has annihilated their Proud Heaven and many God Realm cultivators, they aim to expel the Purple Cloud Sect from the Eternal Ancient Continent, indirectly hindering the growth of the Ziyun Clan.

Shen Changqing nodded.

The Five Families not attacking the Clan’s Territory is normal.

To attack a Clan’s Territory, one must have overwhelming power, as the Ziyun Clan has a significant advantage fighting on their home ground.

However.

From the present situation, it’s clear the Five Families are not ready to go down with the Ziyun Clan.

Thus, not attacking the Clan’s Territory and focusing on attacking the Purple Cloud Sect becomes reasonable.

The Eternal Ancient Continent is unlike other places; establishing a foothold there greatly benefits the cultivation of clan powerhouses.

If the Purple Cloud Sect were truly annihilated, it would not be easy for the Ziyun Clan to return to the Eternal Ancient Continent.

Moreover, once the Purple Cloud Sect is destroyed, other forces will undoubtedly move in.

Though the Eternal Ancient Continent is vast, it still seems small compared to the myriad clans of the heavens.

Not every race can establish its foundation on the Eternal Ancient Continent. On the contrary, many races in the heavens have been eyeing the Eternal Ancient Continent, waiting for the opportunity to move in.

"Alright, prepare briefly and accompany me to the Eternal Ancient Continent!"

Shen Changqing looked at the other party and said indifferently.

Ziyun Luo was taken aback: "Is the Supreme truly preparing to strike the Five Families?"

He previously thought it was mere talk, not a genuine intention to confront the Five Families.

In essence.

This individual is not a Ziyun Clan powerhouse, merely borrowing the Ziyun Clan’s identity; in reality, he belongs to the Human Clan side.

Shen Changqing said, "No need to ask many questions, just follow my instructions."

"Understood!"

Ziyun Luo’s expression slightly changed, daring not to inquire further.

——

Eternal Ancient Continent.

Above the Purple Cloud Sect, the Five Families’ powerhouses continue attacking the Sect-Protection Array.

Within the formation.

All the cultivators of the Purple Cloud Sect are entrenched here, with no intention of stepping out.

Initially, the disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect felt anxious and uneasy, fearing the formation would break and they would be killed by the Five Families.

Yet as time passed, with the formation remaining unbroken, they gradually disregarded the ordeal—eating, sleeping, and cultivating as usual, just not leaving the sect. Nothing else changed.

But within the Sect Main Hall, the higher-ups of the Purple Cloud Sect were not as relaxed as the disciples.

"Sect Master, with the incessant attacks from the Five Families, we exhaust vast amounts of Divine Crystals daily to maintain the unbroken formation. Does the Clan truly have no solution?"

An elder’s expression was grave.

Upon hearing this.

Sitting at the head, the Sect Master of Purple Cloud Sect, Ziyun Bo, said indifferently, "Even if the clan is strong, it cannot resist the Five Families alone. For now, we must adopt defensive measures; leveraging the clan’s resources, maintaining the formation is manageable.

Moreover, the Five Families cannot truly attack the Purple Cloud Sect relentlessly; otherwise, they won’t gain much."

Heavens Power is intricate and complex.

The Five Families have their own enemies too.

Moreover, the Five Families themselves are not in the same alliance; they merely share a stance in dealing with the Ziyun Clan.

Yet even so, the Five Families secretly guard against each other.

This provides the Purple Cloud Sect with a breathing space.

Currently, staying within the sect, despite the heavy consumption of Divine Crystals for upkeep, pales compared to the loss if the Purple Cloud Sect were annihilated.

Upon hearing this.

An elder was displeased: "This matter entirely stems from the clan’s reckless actions. Had they not ambushed the Five Families’ Proud Heaven and many God Realm cultivators in the Newborn Realm, they wouldn’t be fixated on us, the Purple Cloud Sect.

Now that problems arise, the clan requests we remain holed up without any breakthrough strategy, which seems excessive."

Though the Purple Cloud Sect is part of the Ziyun Clan, these elders view the Ziyun Clan as separate from the Purple Cloud Sect; though related, the latter is not a mere subordinate.

As the Purple Cloud Sect is pressured by the Five Families, being confined within the sect, dissatisfaction brews among many elders.

"Elder Ye, watch your words!"

Ziyun Bo gave him a glance, offering a reminder.

At that moment.

A calm voice echoed from outside.

"Clan decisions are justified on their grounds. When did a mere sect elder start to opine? Has the Purple Cloud Sect utterly forsaken its rules?"

As these words emerged.

The expressions of all elders changed, even Ziyun Bo at the main seat showed a colder demeanor.

All cultivators looked toward the source, catching sight of an elegant figure in purple appearing in their view.
