Before Cao Ze could even go into seclusion, he received an urgent report.

The five states of Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Chu formed a new alliance in Handan, planning to attack Qin in April when the King of Qin was crowned.

Just after Cao Ze found out, people from the palace came.

"Your Excellency! The King urgently summons you!"

Zhao Gao shouted in his hoarse voice.

Cao Ze looked at Zhao Gao in surprise and discovered that Zhao Gao had already broken through to the Grandmaster level.

It seems that the changes brought about by this revival of spiritual energy in the world are still unfolding.

Anyone with a bit of talent should have no trouble breaking through to the Grandmaster level in the future.

Not to mention someone with exceptional talent like Zhao Gao.

"okay, I get it."

Cao Ze's tone was somewhat casual, and he seemed nonchalant.

In Zhao Gao's view, Cao Ze was still courting death!

He had already displeased the King of Qin by taking leave without prior notice.

If you don't hurry up and go to the palace to report, aren't you just asking for trouble, or even digging your own grave?

Even if the King of Qin is tolerating Cao Ze now because of his talent, what will happen in the future...?

Zhao Gao kept his mouth shut, making no attempt to remind Cao Ze, and turned to leave.

He secretly hoped that Cao Ze would be killed by the King of Qin, so that no one would ever know that he had helped Cao Ze and Zhao Ji guard the gate.

Cao Ze was unaware of Zhao Gao's thoughts, and even if he had, it wouldn't have mattered.

He wasn't bragging, but with the Heavenly Heart Imprint of the Qin Dynasty world, even if his strength was only at the Celestial Realm, he wouldn't be afraid of even if immortals or gods appeared, let alone a King of Qin.

Even if he is the future emperor of all time, so what?

He could even slay the demon god Chi You. If the King of Qin made things difficult for him, even for the sake of Zhao Ji, he would teach his adopted son a lesson and let him know that he should treat his father with the respect due to his father!

Zhao Gao returned to the palace and truthfully reported to King Zheng of Qin.

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Zhao Gao for a few moments.

"Is what you said true?"

He found it hard to believe that Cao Ze was capable of doing such a thing.

Even if Cao Ze doesn't care about the royal power, at least on the surface, he won't give Cao Ze any leverage over him.

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and said, "This servant would never dare to deceive Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng was furious.

"Cao Ze! What exactly do you want to do!"

He had been tolerating Cao Ze for a long time, but he never expected that his patience would only lead to Cao Ze taking things a step further and now not taking him, the King of Qin, seriously at all!

"Gai Nie!"

Ying Zheng shouted, but no one answered.

Only then did he remember that he had previously sent Gai Nie to investigate where Cao Ze had gone and what he had done.

However, Cao Ze had already returned to Xianyang, but Gai Nie had not yet returned.

With this thought in mind, Ying Zheng calmed down.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Zhao Gao, bring me the intelligence on the alliance of the five states. I want to see how they will celebrate my promotion this time!"

Zhao Gao outwardly withdrew respectfully, but inwardly he was secretly pleased.

Ying Zheng's statement, "Let's not talk about him anymore," means that Cao Ze has essentially been abandoned by Ying Zheng.

Whether Cao Ze is an imperial censor or a prime minister, without the trust of the King of Qin, he will soon become an insignificant figure on the roadside, unnoticed by anyone.

Cao Ze was unaware that Ying Zheng's attitude towards him had completely changed, but even if he had known, it wouldn't have mattered.

After he entered the palace several times and Ying Zheng avoided seeing him, he understood what was going on.

Having gained some leisure time, he simply went into seclusion.

Ten days or half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

When Cao Ze emerged from seclusion, his hidden injuries had been completely healed, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Celestial Realm.

Legend has it that a single celestial being can form an army and single-handedly defeat an entire nation.

This statement is highly exaggerated before the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been revived.

But now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been revived, and the Celestial Realm can mobilize the power of heaven and earth on a large scale.

As long as there are no other powerful figures to restrain them.

No matter how large the army was, it still couldn't stop a Celestial Realm expert!

If one enters the realm of immortals and gods, there will be no more threats in the world, except for the remnants of the demon army left over from ancient times!

After consolidating his cultivation and communicating with the women in the manor for a day or two, Cao Ze went to the Yin Yang School to find Yan Fei and Yue Shen.

Rumors circulate that Yu Yuan of Shushan was born into the Wu clan and had a close relationship with the Yin-Yang School.

Now that he was going to Yu Yuan, he naturally thought of Yan Fei and the Moon Goddess.

However, the Grand Master of Fate informed them that the two women had entered seclusion and were cultivating with every second of their time, preparing to break through to the Celestial Realm.

Where is Master Nan?

A respectful expression appeared on the cold and beautiful face of the High Priestess.

"Reporting to Mr. Cao Ze, Master Nan has gone on a journey."

Cao Ze asked, "Where did you go?"

The Grand Master of Fate said, "I have heard that there is an aurora in the far north and I would like to go and see if there is any opportunity."

Cao Ze was speechless, never expecting that the words he had casually made up would be believed by so many people.

After learning that Nan Gong had left, Cao Ze decided to secretly travel alone to Yu Yuan in Shu.

Through the Heavenly Heart Mark, he could sense that Yu Yuan's seal was becoming increasingly loose, and demonic energy was rampant.

If we don't go soon, the seal on Yu Yuan will completely collapse in at most half a month!

A day later, Cao Ze traveled at full speed and arrived in Shu.

After searching for a while, he found Yu Yuan, which was located deep in the mountains.

Before even entering Mount Shu, Cao Ze sensed that familiar aura.

It is almost identical to the demonic energy on the demon god Chi You, almost from the same source.

When Cao Ze rode the wind and arrived at the sealed place of Yu Yuan in Shu Mountain, he saw hundreds of people sitting cross-legged, chanting incantations.

From time to time, mysterious forces are drawn in and merge into the seal of Yu Yuan.

At the very front of the group stood an elderly man with white hair, holding a wooden cane. His face was kind and benevolent, but he was a genuine Celestial Realm expert who had just broken through.

"Who goes there!"

Cao Ze made no attempt to hide his tracks and was quickly discovered.

"All of you, step back..."

The old man spoke up to stop the person who was about to get up.

"May I ask what brings you, young friend, to the forbidden area of ​​Mount Shu?"

Since both of them had just broken through, Cao Ze, like the old man, had not completely concealed his aura.

Therefore, the old man realized that Cao Ze was a powerhouse of the same level as him.

Cao Ze smiled and said, "I came to help because I felt that the seal of Yu Yuan was about to be broken."

The old man asked in surprise, "You know about the Sealed Abyss?"

Cao Ze nodded, "After Yu Yuan, there is the Demon Realm created by the Demon God Chi You. Once the seal collapses, disasters will strike the world again."

The old man took a deep breath.

"So it was the Demon Realm created by the demon god Chi You. No wonder, no wonder..."

He only knew that the Abyss of Yu sealed the most terrifying thing in the world, but he didn't know exactly what it was, and the records of Mount Shu were also vague.

"I am the Grand Elder of Mount Shu, and also the guardian of the forbidden area of ​​Mount Shu, Yu Yuan."

Cao Ze said, "The matter is urgent and important, so I will get to the point. I will take care of the matter first and then exchange pleasantries with the Grand Elder later."

The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment, thinking that if Cao Ze harbored malicious intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Cao Ze saw the worry of the Grand Elder of Shu Mountain, smiled slightly, and a divine radiance emanated from his body.

"what……"

The Grand Elder of Mount Shu exclaimed in surprise, "The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?!"

Cao Ze said, "That's right, it was the Goddess of the Nine Heavens who instructed me to come here."

This is something that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden left on him.

Others may not recognize it, but any cultivator who has reached the Celestial Realm will see the image of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in their heart upon seeing this radiance.

This is what is meant by reflecting the heavens.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of Mount Shu had no more doubts.

"Thank you for your help, sir!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cao Ze stepped into the Abyss and plunged into its deepest part.

At its deepest point, there was no matter whatsoever, only endless darkness and demonic energy.

Cao Ze had already made his plans.

If he relied solely on his Celestial Realm cultivation, he could barely maintain the seal from breaking.

Therefore, he directly mobilized the energy within the Heavenly Heart Mark, and with the help of the divine radiance left to him by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he purified the demonic energy that was escaping from the seal while reinforcing it.
