Wangshen City.

This is merely a Void City on the periphery of Wangshen Island in the World of Gods; back then, it was here that Ding Huan offended the Trading Building of the Gods.

However, for some unknown reason, the Trading Building of the Gods did not issue a warrant for Ding Huan in Wangshen City, nor did they hold the City Lord of Wangshen City accountable for his mistakes.

Since Wangshen City is located at the outermost edge of the Gods Hall in the World of Gods, many cultivators from other boundaries find it easiest to arrive at Wangshen City.

At this moment, two women walked into Wangshen City.

Although they looked like sisters, the demeanor and conduct of the woman in the green clothes clearly showed the marks of an elder.

Moreover, her cultivation was extremely formidable, her aura restrained, walking on the streets of Wangshen City, imparting a feeling as vast as the ocean.

Those who come to Wangshen City are powerful beings from various universes.

These powerful beings, through their experience, could sense that the cultivation of the woman in green was at least at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao.

Each cultivator that came here was rather cautious.

After sensing that the woman in green might be at the Eighth Step, no one used their Divine Will to probe them.

The other woman was dressed in rough clothes, devoid of any jewelry, appearing extremely simple.

Her cultivation was much lower than that of the woman in green, at best, she was a Quasi-Saint realm cultivator.

"Aunt Wei, I think I saw Senior Hou Hen..." the woman in rough clothes exclaimed suddenly with surprise.

The woman in green, called Aunt Wei, also saw the Houhen God Emperor.

The Houhen God Emperor seemed to have spotted the two as well, excitedly calling out, "Qi Manwei, Nian Huan?"

Although Qi Manwei's cultivation was far superior to that of the Houhen God Emperor, his seniority was too old.

Moreover, Qi Manwei and Qu Yi interacted as equals, so he simply called out Qi Manwei's name.

The two women were indeed Qi Manwei and Ding Nianhuan, and they did not expect that as soon as they entered Wangshen City, they would see the Houhen God Emperor.

Anyone who has been wandering in the Endless Void for tens of thousands of years would find it hard to contain their excitement upon seeing an acquaintance.

Nian Huan, filled with excitement, almost rushed over, only to be held back by Qi Manwei at the next moment.

"Aunt Wei..."

Nian Huan looked at Qi Manwei with confusion.

Qi Manwei did not speak.

Nian Huan turned her head and observed with her Divine Will to find that the face of the Houhen God Emperor had turned pale, and he was hurriedly moving away as if he had seen something extremely frightening.

"Daoist Hou Hen might be in some trouble..." Qi Manwei remarked and then prepared to follow him with Nian Huan.

Yet the Houhen God Emperor seemed to fear them following and hastened his pace even more.

Just as Qi Manwei was puzzled, she saw two figures without the slightest regard for Wangshen City's Restriction, directly stepping across the Void, landing in front of the Houhen God Emperor.

"Nian Huan, let's go..." Qi Manwei took hold of Nian Huan and quickly turned in another direction.

"Aunt Wei, what happened to Senior Hou Hen?" Ding Nianhuan also felt something amiss.

Before Qi Manwei could speak, she heard someone whisper nearby, "The Master of the Universe has come to Wangshen City, could something significant be about to happen here?"

Hearing the words Master of the Universe, Qi Manwei felt a bit uneasy.

The Master of the Universe taking away the Houhen God Emperor meant she couldn't offer any help.

She was one step away from the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, though it wasn't that she couldn't step into the Ninth Step.

Having witnessed Gods Island, she had already qualified to step into the Ninth.

However, she believed she should also prove herself as a Daoist Saint, hence her indecision.

Yet in her subconscious, she felt the difference between a Daoist Saint and an ordinary Saint was merely one Daoist Word.

Since the Fourth Step, every subsequent step held her understanding of the Great Dao; does this count as a Daoist Word?

Regardless, she knew she could not compete against a Master of the Universe right now.

Stepping in not only wouldn't help but would be akin to serving herself on a plate.

The Houhen God Emperor understood this, which was why he didn't want her and Nian Huan to follow.

"Fellow Daoist, could you tell me which Master of the Universe has come to Wangshen City?" Qi Manwei went over and asked.

The discussing cultivator nearly lost half his life hearing her, frightened, because he had been gossiping about the Master of the Universe.

Yet, he was quickly captivated, realizing that the two women before him were breathtakingly beautiful, especially the woman in green who spoke, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Although at their level, they didn't concern themselves overly with a woman's charm.

However, one cannot deny that with a beauty like her, one's mood brightens considerably.

But he didn't dare look at Qi Manwei too much; he could feel the immense pressure from her cultivation.

"It was Senior King Jiangjian from the Taoist Sect; in the World of Gods, there might be no one who understands the Heaven and Earth Rules better than Senior Jiang.

Senior Jiang coming to Wangshen City must signify something important is happening."

His tone, in replying to Qi Manwei, carried a respect for the powerful.

Qi Manwei's heart skipped a beat, and she agreed quietly, "Perhaps it really is so."

After saying this, she quickly took Nian Huan and left Wangshen City.

The two had just entered Wangshen City and now left it again after only a single loop around.

Because Qi Manwei had heard of the name King Jiangjian, without a doubt, he was a supreme and top-level powerhouse in the World of Gods.

With her ordinary eighth step cultivation, if she encountered King Jiangjian, she might escape, but she couldn't ensure Nian Huan's safety.

...

Wangshen City, Gods Rest Building.

The Houhen God Emperor looked at the two men before him, feeling as if his blood had frozen; he knew he was doomed.

How could he have anticipated that beyond countless planes, he would still encounter Luo?

If there is anyone in the vast Universe he fears most, it is undoubtedly this Luo before him.

As for the short figure beside Luo, though one cannot discern his cultivation, his power must certainly exceed Luo's.

"Friend Luo," Thick Trace God Emperor struggled to speak.

Luo ignored Thick Trace God Emperor and instead turned to the short figure beside him, saying, "Friend Jiang, the Seven Realms Flower I cultivated was under his guardianship, and at that time, it was being cultivated using the Star Sky Divine Vein for the fifth flower."

Standing alongside Luo was the Master of the Universe of the Great Principle Taoist Sect, Jiang Jianwang.

Back in the World of Gods, Jiang Jianwang and Lou Poyi were among the top Masters of the Universe, among the strongest individuals.

After encountering Ding Huan and Di He in battle, Jiang Jianwang was severely injured.

Even though he obtained the Chaos Rule Pulp, he truly couldn't perfect his Seventh Step.

To this day, the rules of his Tao World still rely on the World of Gods.

He also didn't dare to stay in the World of Gods.

Who knows if Lou Poyi or Jian Zhen have long since perfected the Seventh Step?

If these individuals perfected their Seventh Step while he has not, wouldn't he have to bow before them in the future?

So he tried every means to find a way to perfect his own Seventh Step of the Great Dao.

He truly found the way, which is the Seven Realms Flower.

But how could the Seven Realms Flower be so easily obtained?

If he were to find several Top-grade Dao Veins in the World of Gods, he could. But finding a single Seven Realms Flower is almost impossible.

Because the Seven Realms Flower is cultivated step by step from the Mortal World.

After obtaining the Seven Realms Flower from the Mortal World, it must undergo cultivation with the Yin Vein, Yang Vein, Dark Attribute Vein, Light Attribute Vein, then the Star Sky Vein, and the Dao Vein.

Finally, it must be cultivated with the Chaos Vein.

This Chaos Vein isn't the Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, but the Chaos Dao Vein.

These veins increase step by step, from low to high.

For instance, Yin Vein and Yang Vein must both be Spirit Veins; they absolutely must be Spirit Veins.

By the time it reaches the dark and light attributes, ideally, Immortal Veins should be used; if Divine Veins are available, even better.

By then with the Star Sky Vein, at minimum, Divine Veins are required.

Thus, the first four flowers of the Seven Realms Flower are easiest to cultivate.

Of course, this easiness is conditioned only regarding top-tier strong Dao cultivators.

To an ordinary cultivator, where would you find a Pure Yin Vein and a Pure Yang Vein?

If you don't cultivate dark attribute skills, you won't even know where the Dark Attribute Vein hides, let alone cultivate it.

When he sent word to search for the Seven Realms Flower, he had little hope for himself.

Some things are a blessing in disguise; as he was about to give up, this cultivator named Luo informed him that he had a Seven Realms Flower.

Now, they finally found the person guarding the Seven Realms Flower for Luo.

It is this Thick Trace before them.

Jiang Jianwang tried to make his expression a bit more affable, "Thick Trace, as long as you hand over the Seven Realms Flower, you may choose any cave mansion in the World of Gods at your pleasure.

Are you still in the Creation Saint Realm now? I, Jiang Jianwang, guarantee you can testify to being the Daoist Saint and at least step into the Sixth Step of the Great Dao as the True Saint."

Thick Trace God Emperor felt hopeless; he knew he was likely to die today.

"Friend Luo, Friend Jiang, if I had the Seven Realms Flower, I would hand it over immediately without a moment's hesitation."

Being about to be killed anyway, he couldn't be bothered to plead or flatter.

"Friend Luo asked you to guard the Seven Realms Flower. Who took it?" Jiang Jianwang's tone remained calm.

Yet Thick Trace God Emperor, seasoned as he is, could feel the impending wrath of Jiang Jianwang's fury.

Thick Trace God Emperor sighed, "That person took it from me forcefully; he made me swear a Poison Dao oath not to reveal him.

But I know regardless of whether I keep the oath, my fate probably won't change..."

"Don't worry, as long as you tell..."

Jiang Jianwang thought Thick Trace God Emperor wouldn't speak.

Thick Trace God Emperor shook his head, "I will certainly speak because the oath now doesn't hold much for me.

The one who took the Seven Realms Flower is named Ding Huan, this person is ruthless and kills easily. If I hadn't seen the opportunity, he would have disposed of me by now."

"Nonsense..." Luo scolded loudly, thinking what Thick Trace had just said wasn't true.

Yet Jiang Jianwang raised his hand, looking at Thick Trace God Emperor and asked again, "Are you sure Ding Huan took it?"

His expression became increasingly sour.

Should someone else have taken it, he would have had a chance to take it back, but Ding Huan...

Even if Ding Huan stood before him now, he probably wouldn't dare snatch from him.

Let alone Ding Huan, Ji Sixin and Di He who wholeheartedly support Ding Huan at the Gods Trading Building, he alone could not confront them.

Thus he did not believe Thick Trace God Emperor was lying.

In his eyes, Ding Huan indeed is a shameless fellow who steals others' things.

Thick Trace God Emperor, rather taken aback, wondered if Jiang Jianwang really knew Ding Huan? That seemed unlikely, right?

This Jiang Jianwang is a Master of the Universe, which he has heard of.

Brother Ding Huan progressed quickly but should be unable to contend with such a Master of the Universe like Jiang Jianwang.

(Friend, good night!)
