t if we encounter the two Misses Xia, we must present a generous gift as a sign of respect." 。As they were talking, Yuanjie took out two small bags from the pocket of his jacket and pulled out two rin...Fāng Yǔ's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed throughout the vast council hall.

But there was no reply after the echo.

The council chamber before me remained still.

Fang Yu sighed and, towards the high seat ahead, punched out with a fist.

Powerful punches, imbued with true energy, swept through the air!

The ground, the stone pillars on either side, and the platform that was struck head-on all burst apart in an instant, with fragments of rock scattering everywhere!

"Boom..."

The ground shook violently, and the entire council hall was shattered by Fang Yu's punch!

But strangely, even though the entire council hall looked like it was about to collapse, not a single stone touched the three people standing still: Fang Yu and his companions.

From this point, it is clear that the council chamber before them is merely an illusion.

The real Great Temple is far from this.

"Yu Gege, what's... going on" Su Lengyun also noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

Fang Yu shook his head and said nothing.

As the chamber shattered around them, the scene before them shifted once more.

What was once the meeting hall has transformed into a primeval forest, surrounded by towering trees.

Such a change, even if smooth and natural, already bore the unmistakable mark of illusion.

and it can also be determined that there is a will within the Grand Temple itself.

However, even though Fang Yu had made his intentions clear, this will still refused to communicate, instead continuing to use illusions as an obstacle.

This made Fang Yu a little unhappy.

……

"Venerable Immortal, what can I do for you" A man stood in the shadows, transmitting his voice through the mark within him.

"I need you to go to Dongdu for me and retrieve an item!" Daokong said in a deep voice.

Hearing the anger in Dao Kong's voice, the man's heart skipped a beat.

He had joined the Banshen clan for so many years, and this was the first time he heard Dao Kong's voice fluctuate like this!

Based on his understanding of Dao Kong, he believed that there was nothing in this world that could make Dao Kong angry!

From Dao Kong's tone, at least, he could hear a great deal of anger!

"My subordinate is willing to go, but needs more detailed information..." the man said.

"As for the exact location, I'll mark it directly! As for the details, you don't need to know. All you need to do is enter the Great Hall and retrieve the chest I want!" Dao Kong interrupted the man impatiently, saying.

"Understood, I shall attend to it immediately," the man replied.

He knew the celestial being's mood was sour and it wasn't a good time to ask too many questions.

But at the same time, he was filled with immense curiosity.

What exactly happened in Dongdu that could make the almighty Dao Kong Shangxian so furious!

……

Inside the Grand Hall, Fang Yu and his two companions were still standing in the jungle.

“I don’t know what era you are from, but at least in my time, the term ‘saint’ was used to describe someone with excellent character.” Fang Yu said to himself. “Your name is Great Sage, which should be stronger than the title of ‘saint’. That means your character should also be perfect.”

"So, why are you stopping me from going any further now"

"I sacrificed, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary..."

At this point, a sudden gust of wind appeared ahead and swept toward Fang Yu's location!

"Click click click..."

The towering trees on either side swayed back and forth.

"Watch out!"

Bai ran roared, and his true qi erupted.

Su Lengyun also reacted very quickly, a blue glow appearing on her right hand.

And Fang Yu walked a few steps forward.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind swept through, sweeping Fang Yu up and sending him soaring into the air.

But Su Lengyun and Bai Ran behind him were unharmed, not even feeling the presence of the strong wind!

"Big brother…"

"Mr. Fang!"

Su Lengyun and Bai Ran both cried out.

"I'm going to be taken for a talk, I should be back soon. You guys can just wander around here in the meantime…"

Fang Yu's voice grew increasingly distant, to the point where it became inaudible in the end.

Su Lengyun and Bai Ran wanted to use their true energy to chase after them, but their faces turned pale, and they could only stay in place!

A wave of overwhelming pressure enveloped them entirely, pinning them down and rendering them immobile!

At the same time, they also felt that an invisible dagger was poised at their throats!

If they struggle desperately, this blade will inevitably cut their throats!

……

Fang Yu was swept up by the gust of wind and lifted into the air, rising higher and higher. He didn't know how many meters he had ascended.

During this process, Fang Yu suddenly realized.

Obviously, the interior of the Great Hall is also an independent space, not belonging to reality!

After rising for about four or five minutes, Fang Yu suddenly saw a figure standing above a cloud layer ahead.

This figure, with its back turned to Fang Yu.

And Fang Yu looked at this figure, but could only see a blur!

"What's going on"

It's still a blurry mess, like a confused gray shadow!

Fang Yu refused to believe it and opened his Insightful Eye!

Within the gaze of insight, he once again turned his eyes to the figure ahead.

It's still a blur!

And within this figure, there exist no laws whatsoever! It has no connection to the external space at all!

"What's going on"

Fang Yu was stunned.

The figure before me is extremely strange!

That gust of wind gradually slowed, bringing Fang Yu to the indistinct figure before him.

Fang Yu stood above the clouds, his eyes wide as he looked at the figure, his face full of surprise.

Could it be... this figure itself is in this form

How is this possible

"You come to my palace, what do you desire" The blurry figure paid no mind to Fang Yu's piercing gaze, emitting a male voice.

From the sound of it, this blurry figure before me doesn't seem like a monster. It actually has a bit of refinement to it.

"I heard there's a sacred artifact here, so I came to take it." Fang Yu said.

"Relic... is that what you're talking about" The blurry figure suddenly raised a hand and pointed to the side.

Fang Yu glanced to the side and saw half a weapon shimmering with white light.

It only showed its lower half, the upper half was lost in the clouds, and its shape was unclear.

“This is my exclusive weapon, the Sky-Piercer Halberd,” the blurry figure said calmly. “If you want to take it, find a way to draw it out.”

"Pull it out, and this thing is mine" Fang Yu didn't care about the blurry figure in front of him. His eyes gleamed as he asked.

"Hmm." the blurred figure replied.

Fang Yu stopped talking and walked towards the Heavenly Paragon Halberd, which was half-hidden in the clouds.

Standing before the Sky Soaring Sacred Halberd, Fang Yu felt a surge of overwhelming divine power even before reaching out.

"Holy power... could this really be what they call a saint's weapon!"

Fang Yu's eyes widened, filled with shock.

But he quickly regained his composure, stretching out his hands and grasping the base of the Great Sage Halberd.

And then, with a sudden burst of force, he pulled the Celestial Sky Halberd upward!n a shaken voice, "I just used my divine sense to probe outside the castle gates... it's quite dreadful.""That's normal, that mob outside is no match for those undead." Fang Yu said."That woman took a...
