At this moment, on the other side, above the nine heavens in the world beyond the heavens, and in the central region of the Brilliant Domain, a majestic palace was suspended in the air.

It was surrounded by countless islands and palaces. Each island had a sky connecting to this palace square.

In each palace and island, there was a waterfall flowing down from above, with immortal birds roaming about and spiritual beasts frolicking.

It was like a fairyland.

"B*stard!"

An angry roar spread from the largest palace in the center to all directions. This roar contained a huge power, and for a moment, all the waterfalls seemed to have been stopped by this roar.

All the living beings within a thousand miles heard this roar, and they were instantly frightened. Their bodies trembled, and all prostrated themselves towards the Holy Palace.

In the great hall of the Holy Palace, there was a man wearing a luxurious golden robe and a green jade crown on his head, sitting on the throne.

His expression was gloomy and the space around him was slightly distorted.

Below him, there was an old man with a long white beard. His body was bound by countless faintly discernible runic chains.

The old man's face lit up as he saw the frustration and rage of the man on the throne.

"Haha! Ling Tian Emperor, it seems like the key has been snatched away by someone!" The old man looked at Ling Tian Emperor's face which was twitching, and added fuel to the fire.

"It seems like you are very happy?" Ling Tian Emperor glared at the old man and pinched him with one hand.

"Ah ah ah!" The old man cried in pain.

An invisible hand seemed to be around the old man and slowly pinched and tortured his body.

In the great hall, countless cracking sounds could be heard coming from the old man's body.

At this moment, there were five young men standing on both sides of the great hall. Even as Ling Tian Emperor's disciples, they could not help but tremble when they saw this scene.

Finally, Ling Tian Emperor let go of his hand, and the old man lay on the ground like a pile of mud.

However, even so, the old man was not dead yet. Ling Tian Emperor had left him a breath of life to continue torturing him so as to vent the hatred in his heart.

"Ling Tian Emperor, even if you get that key, it's useless. I've tampered with that key, but...

The person who gets that key will become my disciple. At that time, he will be able to obtain all the sources of power in the Tian Yu mystic realm. He will inherit my will and take revenge on you!"

After saying that, the old man laughed wildly as if he could foresee the ending of Ling Tian Emperor.

"So, there's no need for you to exist anymore!" After saying that, Emperor Ling Tian waved his hand, and an unknown flame ignited from the old man's body.

Those runic chains were like a catalyst, and the flame instantly grew in intensity.

After a few breaths, the old man had already turned into ashes.

"How you dare to take revenge on me!" The man was so angry that he laughed instead, and then he looked at the disciples on both sides of the hall.

"Zhang Han," the man said in a deep voice.

"I'm here!"

A young disciple on the right side of the hall hurriedly walked to the center of the hall. He took three steps forward and kneeled on one knee.

"I'm about to make a breakthrough, so I won't be able to take a trip there. Now, take 300 Spirit Origin Realm warriors and go to a small world called the Divine Ao Mainland. Look out mountain by mountain! There was a courtyard at the top of the mountain range, and the Gu Tong Immortal Sword was there. After finding it, kill all without mercy! If anyone stops you, destroy that world!" The man said coldly.

"Comply with your wish!"

The disciple named Zhang Han said with his head lowered. Then, he slowly stood up and turned around to leave.

When he came out of the palace, Zhang Han's figure instantly disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared on a floating island.

"Battle King!"

The floating island guard hurriedly knelt down when he saw Zhang Han.

"Battle King, May I know why the emperor is so angry? Did something happen?" A green-robed elder walked over, looking worried.

"Master's key to the Tian Yu mystic realm has been snatched away by someone. Now, I need to go and retrieve it!"

The green-robed elder was stunned. Clearly, he didn't believe it.

"This... to be able to take the key away from the imperial emperor, the enemy must be extraordinary!" The green-robed elder's eyes looked worried again.

"He left it in a small world called the Divine Ao Mainland," Zhang Han glanced at him and said.

"The Divine Ao Mainland?" The green-robed elder was also stunned. He didn't seem to have any impression of this world.

"Go and find its space location. Then, we will set off. Master is going to enter the closed-door cultivation to find a chance to break through. Before he comes out, we must bring the sword back," Zhang Han said indifferently.

"I will go and check now!" The old man bowed and replied. Then, he turned around and left.

Zhang Han narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Holy Palace. The corners of his mouth curled up. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

A small world that he had never even heard of, yet he had to personally go there.

Master was becoming more and more disgraceful. It seemed that he had been in seclusion for too long, and his mind had become slow.

One Spirit Origin Realm warrior was enough to conquer that small world. 300? It was just a waste of his time.

Zhang Han laughed coldly. With so many people, it would take a lot of time just to teleport. 

For such a garbage world, he could destroy it alone.

Therefore, he decided to go and retrieve the Gu Tong Immortal Sword by himself.

...

On Mount God of Heaven, at the lawn outside the courtyard, as Yu Sisi was holding the Gu Tong Immortal Sword tightly, she circulated her spiritual energy onto the sword.

"Clang!"

A sword chime shook out from the sword.

Then, a human-shaped shadow was projected from the sword.

A long-bearded old man's projection appeared in mid-air as he looked at Yu Sisi with a burning gaze.

"Good, good, good! A level-nine talent, a peerless heaven's favorite. The heavens can't kill me!" The old man looked at the sky and howled. Following that, his gaze was filled with hatred as he stared at Yu Sisi.

"Since you've taken my sword, you're now my disciple. This sword is the key to opening a mystic realm."

"However, I've placed a seal on this sword. You must fuse your blood essence into the sword and swear to the heavens that you will destroy the Brilliant Domain after obtaining my inheritance!"

"At that time, you can obtain the ownership of this key under my witness," the old man said in a deep voice.

Just as the old man finished speaking.

"Pa!"

Yu Sisi hurriedly threw the sword on the ground. Actually, the moment the old man asked her to be his disciple, she had already wanted to throw it away.

However, she took a glance at her Shifu and realized that he had hinted to her to wait for a while.

It seemed that... her Shifu was interested in the sword. Yu Sisi waited for the old man to finish speaking and could finally throw it away.

The old man: ???

The old man came back to his senses and looked at Yu Sisi's look in disgust. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"You... What are you doing?" The old man seemed to be stunned by Yu Sisi's actions and he asked slowly.

Even the ruler of the Brilliant Domain, Ling Tian Emperor, had yearned for the key. Why she looked at it with disdain?

"I already have a Shifu. I won't take anyone else as my master!" Yu Sisi said firmly.
