Against The Sky Supreme

"You, the great offering of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, are the sworn brother of our vice palace master, the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon."

"The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon wants to kill me, so you must never tell him my identity."

"From now on, I will remain in your Temporal Ancestral Hall until we reach the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

Then, Yu Yunxi summoned the Temporal Ancestral Hall. After Tan Yun entered the grand hall, she put it away and steered a Divine Vessel away from the mountain range...

Time flowed like water, and six years later.

In the eastern region of the Ancient Fire Prison, there stood a volcano towering ten million zhang: the Sky Pillar Volcano.

When Yu Yunxi, piloting the Divine Vessel, landed on the Sky Pillar Volcano, over seventy thousand disciples of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, who had been waiting, hurriedly gathered around and bowed to Yu Yunxi, saying, "We greet the seventh princess!"

"No need for formalities." Yu Yunxi replied gracefully.

"Thank you, Seventh Princess!" After everyone stood straight again, a young man in a white robe, dressed like a scholar, approached Yu Yunxi respectfully, "Seventh Princess, where are the others?"

The young man in a white robe was named Qi Cheng, and his father was the renowned Grand Marshal Qi Long of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty.

"They're all dead." A deep sorrow revealed in Yu Yunxi's beautiful eyes.

"What! They're all dead?" Qi Cheng frowned, "What on earth happened, Seventh Princess?"

Yu Yunxi said, "After we entered the Ancient Fire Abyss, we encountered the Death God Faced Spider. They all died saving me."

The reason Yu Yunxi didn’t reveal the entire truth was that she didn’t want the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty to fall out with the Elysium Sect, which was one of the three major powers, because of her.

"Alas!" Qi Cheng sighed, his sadness apparent in his gaze, and the others felt the same.

After a moment of reflection, Qi Cheng seemed to think of something and appeared hesitant to speak.

"What’s wrong?" Yu Yunxi asked.

"Seventh Princess, my elder brother asked me to give this to you." Qi Cheng’s Ancestral Ring flashed, and a crystal-clear box appeared in his hand.

"You can take it back." Yu Yunxi took a deep breath and said, "When you return, tell your elder brother that I don't like him, and that he shouldn't waste any more time on me."

"Understood." After taking back the box, Qi Cheng felt confused, "My elder brother is knowledgeable, skilled in both martial arts and the arts, and is considered the most handsome man in the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty."

"Moreover, he is exceptionally talented, so why doesn’t the Seventh Princess like my elder brother?"

As Qi Cheng pondered, others also speculated about what kind of man the seventh princess liked.

In their hearts, Qi Cheng's elder brother was the most handsome man in the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty and a top contender among his peers. If he couldn’t win the heart of the seventh princess, who else could?

Time flew by and a year had passed.

During that year, nearly forty thousand disciples from the Beast Clan Star Domain, led by the core disciple Lion Hong, reached the summit of the Sky Pillar Volcano.

Ten months later, with two months remaining until the opening of the Temporal Tunnel, nearly forty thousand disciples from the Human Race Star Domain, led by Fang Tiancheng and Fang Tianyou, also arrived at the Sky Pillar Volcano.

As for the other disciples from the Four Arts Star Domain, except for Tan Yun, they arrived on schedule alongside Li Chen.

"Fang Tiancheng, where is Kong Wu?" Lion Hong asked Fang Tiancheng.

Fang Tiancheng replied honestly, "He attempted to kill someone for treasure and was killed."

Lion Hong furrowed his brow but said nothing.

At this point, no one from the Elysium Sect had arrived.

While the puzzled crowd was in confusion, a beam of light descended from the sky and transformed into the distinguished Changsun Han atop the Sky Pillar Volcano.
