Nanmu Tianyi gazed at Zhou Xuanji, who was in the midst of breaking through, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.

When he sent Zhou Xuanji to the Anti-Kunlun, he believed that Zhou Xuanji would definitely die inside.

​​

He had no hopes of him ever escaping it.

Much to his surprise, Zhou Xuanji had come out!

He broke through to the Origin Fusion Divine Lord Realm in just three hundred years!?

This speed of breakthrough is even more exaggerating than that of an eighteen-star genius!

The more Nanmu Tianyi thought about it, the more jealous he got. He fell into a big dilemma.

There were two choices before him.

He could either win over Zhou Xuanji and assist Zhou Xuanji in becoming the Sovereign so that the Tianyi Divine Range could obtain some benefits in the future.

Or he could kill Zhou Xuanji right then and there, eliminating the threat altogether.

Zhou Xuanji calmly looked at him without a shred of panic.

If Nanmu Tianyi made a move on him, he wouldn't be polite either. While he still might not be Nanmu Tianyi's opponent, if Nanmu Tianyi tried to kill him right now, it wouldn't be that easy either.

They two stared at each other, falling into silence.

The lightning tribulation kept rumbling as Zhou Xuanji's cultivation grew uncontrollably like a volcanic eruption.

Nanmu Tianyi was moved. He secretly mumbled, "What's going on? Why isn't the lightning tribulation attacking him?"

He was unable to see through the current Zhou Xuanji.

What did this kid go through? He feels like a completely different person! And this temperament, it feels like facing a Mortal God!?

BOOM!

Zhou Xuanji finally succeeded in breaking through, reaching the One Comprehension Origin Fusion Divine Fusion Realm. A vast heaven opened up over his soul as a silver halo befell upon it. The next moment, Vital Energy came pouring down as it transformed into a brand new energy before flowing into every nook and corner of his soul, and then to every part of his body.

Origin Fusion Divine Energy!

"Ding! Sword Master has broken through to the Origin Fusion Divine Lord Realm. Starting a random draw!"

"Ding! Sword Master, congratulations, you drew Universal Fusion-grade Broken Sword of Sacrificing Life, and the Vast Sky-grade Sword of Dreaming Past-Life!"

The Sword Spirit's voice rang in Zhou Xuanji's mind, piquing his curiosity.

The Broken Sword of Sacrificing Life!?

The Sword of Past-Life Dreams!?

Is it the same as the Proud Mortal Divine Sword and Ghost Sword, a combined sword!?

The introductions of the two swords popped up before his eyes.

Name: The Broken Sword of Life Severing

Grade: Universal Fusion

Introduction: It's a sword that can sever one's remaining life. Because its too strong and has a backbite of thousands of principles, only half of the sword is left. But it can be fused with the Sword of Past-Life Dreams into a complete sword that could severe the cycle of life and death. One need to be in the One Comprehension Origin Fusion Divine Lord Realm in order to use this sword.

...

Name: The Sword of Past-Life Dreams

Grade: Vast Sky

Introduction: The sword can gather the luck of the past and the present. It contains great fortune and is extremely powerful. It's restricted by supreme principles, reducing it to the Vast Sky-grade. But it can be combined with the Broken Sword of Life Severing into a sword that could sever the cycle of life and death. One needs to be in the Nine Vast Heavens Realm in order to use this sword.

...

As I have expected, these two are a combination!

One could sever one's life and the other gathered luck. Both of them had mystical effects. And they could be combined into a stronger sword.

Zhou Xuanji was very satisfied with the two swords.

He turned his gaze back at Nanmu Tianyi and asked, "What's the matter?"

The old guy kept gazing at him for a long time without speaking a word as if he was in a big dilemma.

If Nanmu Tianyi really wanted to do something to me, then I'm sorry, I won't rest until one of us is dead.

As soon as Nanmu Tianyi noticed the ridicule in Zhou Xuanji's eyes, he couldn't help but be anxious.

A dignified and honorable Range Master like him was unexpectedly worried about a younger generation!

If the word got out, many people wouldn't even believe it.

But he was really worried at the moment.

It was not even the first time he had faced this kind of situation. He had gone through the same dilemma with the previous Sovereign.

Back then, he had lowered his head in exchange for the prosperity of the Tianyi Divine Range.

Now, the very same opportunity was before him once again.

Except for the Mortal Divine Range, no Divine Range could survive forever. And the Tianyi Divine Range also couldn't be guaranteed forever.

However, the Tianyi Divine Range too wanted to give birth to a Sovereign themselves.

Nanmu Tianyi was weighing the pros and cons. He wondered whether there was a genius in the Tianyi Divine Range who could stand on par with Zhou Xuanji.

There were indeed a few who could.

But suddenly, Nanmu Tianyi didn't have absolute confidence. After all, Zhou Xuanji was able to break out of the Anti-Kunlun.

He grit his teeth and stated, "If the Tianyi Divine Range doesn't target you, or even helps you, are you will to let go of the past grudge and even help us in the future? In the current situation it's in, the Evil Sky Divine Range can't support you."

Compromise!

Zhou Xuanji raised his brow and asked, "What kind of support can you provide me?"

He wasn't a stubborn individual. Even though Nanmu Tianyi had targeted him, he had inevitably given him a good luck.

Moreover, the current Evil Sky Divine Range really couldn't protect his family. It was better to rely on the Tianyi Divine Range to turn the tide.

"I'll fully assist you in becoming the Sovereign. I can provide you with whatever resources you want. The last Sovereign too had grudges with me but with the support of my Tianyi Divine Range, he could finally hack his way through all the obstacles and become Sovereign," answered Nanmu Tianyi. After making this decision, he was suddenly more at ease.

Zhou Xuanji agreed with a smile, "Okay!"

Nanmu Tianyi was stunned after hearing this.

He hadn't expected Zhou Xuanji to agree so easily.

He asked in a shock, "Are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Xuanji raised the corner of his lips and replied, smiling, "Even though I have the confidence that I can escape from you, you are indeed right. The Kunlun Origin Court has no permanent enemies nor do you and I have unsolvable hatred."

A smile immediately appeared on Nanmu Tianyi's face. His evaluation of Zhou Xuanji in his heart had risen.

Most geniuses weren't as open-minded as him.

And as long as he had the support of the Tianyi Divine Range, it was equivalent to putting half his foot onto the throne of Sovereign.

"Next, I want you to block the Divine Ranges surrounding the Evil Sky Divine Range. I hope that the Evil Sky Divine Range can regain its peace and stability. Of course, I don't need you to help the Evil Sky Divine Range avenge themselves. I just want you to help the Evil Sky Divine Range stabilize," Zhou Xuanji stared at Nanmu Tianyi and stated his terms. If these requests couldn't be met, then there was no need for this cooperation to exist.

Hence, his tone was commandeering.

Nanmu Tianyi said with a node, "Aside for our Tianyi Divine Range, the only strong divine range besieging the Evil Sky Divine Range is the Mortal Divine Range. I and the Mortal Divine Range ancestors are old acquaintances. He will give me face. it will not be a problem," He wasn't dissatisfied with Zhou Xuanji's direct request. Rather he was delighted.

If Zhou Xuanji realized how powerful the authority of the Tianyi Divine Range was, it would be even more difficult for him to abandon the Tianyi Divine Range in the future.

He was also afraid that Zhou Xuanji would go back on his word after becoming the Sovereign. There was a feeling that this could happen in his heart but he couldn't explain it in words.

"In addition, I want to find the whereabouts of the Mortal Sovereign. Do you know anything about her?" Zhou Xuanji asked again. The matter of his wife and son had been on his mind. He wouldn't be at ease until he could find them.

Nanmu Tianyi's expression changed drastically as he asked, "Why are you looking for her?"

When the Mortal Sovereign was brought up, a look of fear filled his eyes.

Only the powerful experts who had lived for over ten billion years knew the horror of the Mortal Sovereign.

They never even want to think about this nightmare.

"I am looking for her. All you need to tell me is whether or not you know where she is," Zhou Xuanji stated in a serious voice, fixing his eyes on him.
