In the time that followed, Fang Xingjian spent most of his powers working on the Virtual Image together with Ulpian and the Immortality Saint.

They first learned each other’s martial arts and knowledge, then they used the combination of their specializations to create a Virtual Image that was the consolidation of so many legacies.

Of course, Fang Xingjian had also sent out two clones—one to oversee the Empire and the other to oversee the plains—to handle various matters.

Divine level experts’ clones were just different parts of their bodies. This was the equivalent of Fang Xingjian concurrently dealing with matters in the outside world while working on the Virtual Image.

Not long later, just as the rumors of Fang Xingjian having obtained information about the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures spread and became even more incredulous… And just as the rumors became increasingly fiercer due to the pushes from the Plenary Foundation Septet, the Empire released news that Fang Xingjian was going to release concrete news about the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures at their Imperial Capital in three months’ time.

This stirred up a great commotion.

Previously, everyone was still a little skeptical about Da Yue`er inviting the various major influences to announce this news. However, in comparison, with Fang Xingjian being the number one expert in the south, the Empire’s Imperial Preceptor, and an existence known as the Sword Overlord, no one would doubt his words.

The world seemed to start seething with excitement. Countless influences, organizations, and experts from various countries were prepared to head to the Imperial Capital in three months’ time.

Many experts had already started rushing to the Imperial Capital soon after hearing this news. Almost everyone was hoping to try their luck. What if they were able to get their hands on the Divine Sun Emperor’s legacy at the next moment?

In the Imperial Capital’s palace, the Fourth Prince sighed and said, “Xingjian, isn’t this attracting too much attention? When the time comes, probably over half of the Divine level experts in the world will all come to the Imperial Capital.

“With so many experts gathered within a city and there being all sorts of feuds, grudges, conflicts, and people harboring different ideas about the Divine Sun Emperor, god knows how much trouble there will be.”

Hearing that, Fang Xingjian merely waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. The reason why I came out to bear the load of this matter and let all the experts in the world come to the Imperial Capital is to let them know that no one can turn the world upside down here.”

He looked at the Fourth Prince and continued, “Let Tyrant and the others come back. In the next three months, all of you should focus on cultivating and attaining breakthroughs, with everyone aiming to reach tier five of the Divine level before the meeting.”

Just as Fang Xingjian was saying this, he suddenly raised his brows, “Oh? There really are people who aren’t afraid of death.”

Right now, in the sky above the Imperial Capital, the Purple Mage King Claudia was standing in void space. Her gaze swept down over the city under her feet as her eyes flashed with a gleam of interest.

“The Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures? Interesting… But who would wait three months for you?”

A layer of obscure purple sash wrapped around her body, as if allowing this Purple Mage King to hide in a layer of spatial barrier. Ordinary vision and hearing would be unable to sense her existence.

Clearly, the Purple Mage King had also been attracted by the news which Fang Xingjian had released. For an expert like her, there was no reason for her to abide to an agreement for three months’ later. She would come if she felt like it, and she would take whatever she wanted. This was considered normal for her.

She circled around the sky above the Imperial Capital and eventually stood above the palace.

‘This Imperial Capital was built quite nicely, but their base is too weak and doesn’t have much defense. Let me see where Fang Xingjian is.’

During the period of time when she was absent from this land, she had relied on her army of bugs to conquer several worlds. She then made use of countless resources to raise her strength to the limits that were below tier six of the Divine level.

Currently, Claudia reckoned that she was merely one step away from reaching tier six of the Divine level. When the news of the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures was leaked out, it immediately garnered her attention.

If she could get her hands on the Divine Sun Emperor’s legacy, she would have absolute confidence in attaining tier six of the Divine level.

However, just as she was observing the palace and searching for Fang Xingjian’s traces, a stream of sword mark suddenly appeared on her chest. With a stifled grunt, she retreated rapidly. Her chest was slashed open, and it was now in the midst of continuous healing.

The Purple Mage King Claudia frowned and said with some anxiety and doubt, “Fang Xingjian? How did you discover me?”

Fang Xingjian slowly walked out from void space, looked at the Purple Mage King, and said, “You’ve been watching from above me for so long. If I still can’t discover you, I’d have wasted my past few years of cultivation.”

Claudia let out a cold snort, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, “Fang Xingjian, you won’t be able to keep the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures all for yourself. Share them with me. If we join forces, we’ll have the possibility of obtaining the treasures.”

Fang Xingjian did not reply to Claudia’s probing. Instead, he raised his hand and tapped out a finger.

‘Black Lotus—Ten Thousand Swords.’

In that instant, streams of black sword marks appeared in void space as if they had been there to begin with. By the time Claudia reacted to them, a black lotus formed from the black sword marks had burst out from her chest.

This was a sword technique that Fang Xingjian had created in passing while he was working on developing martial arts together with Ulpian and the Immortality Saint.

The black lotus that was formed from the sword marks rooted into each and every corner of Claudia’s body. It was as if they were able to instantly engulf all vitality and will.

Accompanied by a soft rumble , the surrounding space seemed to float a little. Claudia’s clone instantly turned into powder, dissipating into the air. She was only left her last words dissipating into the air.

“What sword technique is this?”

However, Fang Xingjian had disappeared without a trace with a flash.

Several thousand lis away, in an cave that was several hundred kilometers underground, a black dot swelled up rapidly. It was Claudia’s Divine Country.

The entire Divine Country was filled with densely packed intertwining and distorting bug swarms that release hissing sounds. It was like the hell in legends and myths.

In the center of the bug swarms, on a throne that was formed from countless huge bugs being entangled together, Claudia opened her eyes abruptly.

“To think that he destroyed my clone with a single move… Fang Xingjian’s cultivation has really improved tremendously.”

Beside her, Chaos Witch Lamia smiled and asked, “How was it? Is Fang Xingjian willing to work together with you?”

“This person’s cultivation has become even more splendid.” Claudia shook her head. “Moreover, when I saw him this time around, his spirit is even stronger than before. His invitation to all heroes…”

The Chaos Witch laughed coldly and said, “If he really holds that Divine Treasures Meeting, it means that all the experts in the world will be in the Imperial Capital and in his grasp. Regardless of how powerful they are, they will still have to hold back and not show off or be conceited. The Empire will be on a great momentum.

“However, it’s really wishful thinking for him to want to suppress the world single-handedly,” the Chaos Witch said. The she looked at Claudia and asked, “How is it? This person is unbridled and isn’t someone who is suitable to join forces with. If you’re willing to, we can collaborate when the time comes.”

Claudia took a long look at the Chaos Witch. She knew that this witch had been active within the Church of Universal Truth’s domain in recent years and had an unclear relationship with the three Saints.

However, Claudia had her purple faction’s black magic, which possessed the ability to head to other worlds. The main base for her bug nest was situated in another world as well.

With this escape route, she did not mind getting involved in this pool of muddy water.
