Time moves forward, returning to the morning.

The thunderstorm in the Divine Capital has already stopped, but the coldness deepens, with frost silently appearing on the roadside grasses outside the city.

A pair of cloud boots tread on the grass leaves, as a man dressed in blue walks along a faint path, heading towards the edge of the rivers.

"At this time, does the Heavenly Monarch still have the leisure to enjoy the scenery here?"

The man in blue laughed lightly, revealing an indescribable aura on his ordinary face, replacing his previous casual demeanor with an invisible majesty.

This face represents the Long Prince Consort of the current dynasty, but at this moment, the person is the Great Venerable of the Devil God Sect.

Here appeared the true form of the Great Venerable.

And not far ahead, a figure stood quietly as though bearing the azure sky, upon hearing the voice of the Great Venerable, turned to look back, his flawless visage carrying a faintly surreal impression, like a flower in a mirror, a moon in water, seemingly changing constantly.

No matter where others' gazes fall on this face, what they always see is the front of this face.

"Because I am waiting for Great Venerable."

He calmly stated, "Great Venerable indeed came. It seems the power Great Venerable obtained from the heavens is that heaven-knowing ability."

"And the Heavenly Monarch has certainly grasped the meaning of the all-things-in-nature, this 'Form Tomb', is just one step away from mastery," the Great Venerable also spoke of the other's gains from the heavens.

At that time, the Heavenly Monarch penetrated the sky with the Heavenly Shooting Bow, causing the sky dome to bleed, the heaven injured, in order to seize the power of the heavens, yet was intercepted by Jiang Li and the Great Venerable. Ultimately, the three of them each took part of the power and retreated heavily wounded.

Jiang Li acquired the ability to deduce, advancing swiftly on the path of Yi Dao, and thus unifying the Three Tombs, creating the 'Emperor's Pole Worldly Book.'

The Great Venerable gained the ability to peek into the past, able to directly observe the past through the Cosmic Light Divine Ability, further achieving a breakthrough in perception.

As for the Heavenly Monarch, the benefits he gained were also seen by the Great Venerable, further noticing that the Heavenly Monarch had made another breakthrough on the 'Form Tomb', becoming the highest cultivation in the 'Form Tomb' of his time.

Once he achieves mastery in the 'Form Tomb', he will gain the Yellow Emperor's Four Faces ability, no matter the direction he is viewed from, it will always be the front, reaching the most perfect realm in form, further perfecting the 'Yin Talisman Scripture.'

Great Venerable and Heavenly Monarch, these two individuals progressed further thanks to the heavens, now meeting, it is unclear who is superior.

"Great Venerable has eyes like torches."

The Heavenly Monarch slowly turns, facing the Great Venerable, while his form also changes.

The raised sleeve seems to have no boundary with the surrounding scenery, using space as clothing, a small world instantly forms. Though seemingly in front of the eyes, it feels omnipresent.

"Are you trying to trap my true form?" Great Venerable raised an eyebrow, showing interest.

Since he ascended to third grade, emerging abruptly, no one has been able to trap him.

Previously trapping Wushan, it was not Great Venerable being trapped, but the Heavenly Monarch being entrapped by Great Venerable. If not for that incident, the Heavenly Monarch's scheme would not have been thwarted.

Though the Heavenly Monarch has laid countless hidden hands over these two hundred years, always having contingency plans, never defeated utterly, but if possible, why wouldn't the Heavenly Monarch want to succeed in one strike?

As for being stalled by the Daoist Lord later, it can only be said the Daoist Lord's divine skills were too shameless, this time doesn't count.

"Not to trap, but to invite Great Venerable to sit quietly and watch," the Heavenly Monarch said indifferently, "If neither of us takes action, then let's just watch as spectators."

"Spectator······"

The pupils of the Great Venerable narrowed vertically, the gaze seemingly looking towards an infinitely distant place, instead of before his eyes.

"Why not," he nodded, "I'll be a spectator then."

In the eyes of the Great Venerable already see the backup plan laid by Jiang Li—a cloud-riding, winged dragon.

'It's her······ truly acting right under others' noses.'

Wuzhiqi is false, so what about the person who fought Wuzhiqi on the middle route?

Now it seems, they're also false.

······

······

Within the Divine Capital, armored soldiers, ready for battle, were assembled in the Upper City District.

Meng Jun, holding a large banner, stepped out with the Eldest Prince from the residence, looked up at the sky, only to find dark clouds gathering again, adding another shade of bleakness to the Divine Capital.

But before Meng Jun could issue orders, a fierce burst of Qi Mechanism emanated from the walls of the Imperial City, following was a thunderous roar, and then a fierce gale spreading, like a whirlwind passing, trees along the path swaying continually.

"Report!"

A scout quickly ran over, shouting: "To the Grand Commandant, members of the Jiang family are attacking the Imperial City."

"The Jiang family?"

Even though Meng Jun had already made mental preparations for anything, at that moment, he showed a look of surprise and doubt.

Why, with the Jiang family in good standing, are they attacking the Imperial City? With so few people, do they dare touch the Imperial City?

Without Jiang Li, the strongest in the Jiang family is merely a fifth-rank family elder. If not for having Elder Yuheng of Dinghu Sect guard the Jiang Family Territory, and Meng Jun not wanting to stir up further trouble, he would have first captured the Jiang Family Territory, sacrificing the clan members of Jiang Sikong for the banners.

Just as Meng Jun was uncertain in his doubts, a voice sounded in his ear, "Isn't this just right? Giving you a reason to clean the King's side."

This is the voice of King Shu.

Meng Jun immediately linked the two together. With the Jiang family's sudden foolish move, and King Shu seemingly having foreseen it, undoubtedly, this is King Shu's handiwork.

Thinking this, Meng Jun's decision was made.

Despite fearing King Shu's scheming and preparations, things had come to this, could Meng Jun really shrink back?
