While waiting for the Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling to emerge, Zhang Fan and the others, including Zhiwu Xianwang, appeared very relaxed. The four gathered together, chatting and discussing the Dao. However, Heilong Xianwang, Shenyu Xianwang, Yanlong Xianwang, and the other Xianwang were extremely cautious. They believed that Zhang Fan, Zhiwu Xianwang, Yanhuang Xianwang, and Luohe Xianwang had already joined forces, so they secretly communicated with each other, plotting to jointly seize this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling.
"Although the strength of Yanhuang, Zhiwu, and Luohe is not weak, we have nothing to fear if we join forces. However, the appearance of this mysterious powerful expert is indeed a variable. Looking at his confident demeanor, he seems to have secured this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling and completely disregards us," Heilong Xianwang glanced at Zhang Fan and transmitted his thoughts to the others.
"This person's aura is perfectly concealed, and even when I use secret techniques, I cannot detect his realm and cultivation. Could he be an Immortal Venerable?" Chifeng Xianwang's eyes held surprise.
"Shenyu, I heard that Master Nü Tian Xian Zun of the Five Elements Immortal Sect in the Central Star Domain is in your Shenyu Star Domain. If that person's strength is too great, can we ask Master Nü Tian Xian Zun to make a move?" Heilong Xianwang looked at Shenyu Xianwang.
Shenyu Xianwang looked deeply at Heilong Xianwang, then shook his head and said, "What kind of person is Master Nü Tian Xian Zun? He has already reached the Dominator Realm, the most top-tier existence below the Immortal Emperor. Even if this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling were placed before him, he probably wouldn't bother to look at it."
The Tribulation Transcendence stage is divided into three major realms: the Cosmic Realm, the Eternal Realm, and the Dominator Realm. A Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Venerable who reaches the Dominator Realm is only one step away from the Mahayana Immortal Emperor and naturally wouldn't care about an Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling.
"Master Nü Tian Xian Zun might not care about this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling, but this mysterious powerful expert who suddenly appeared might pique Master Nü Tian Xian Zun's interest," Heilong Xianwang said.
After pondering for a while, Shenyu Xianwang nodded, "I'll try. I will send the message to Master Nü Tian Xian Zun. As for whether he will come, I don't know."
As time passed, more and more powerful experts rushed to this place from all directions of the starry sky. However, most of them were only cultivators in the He Dao stage, such as the Tian Yan Realm or the Wan Wu Realm. With their strength, they could not get involved and could only honestly stay on the sidelines and watch.
"Master, with the emergence of this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling, do you need this disciple to contribute?" Luohe Xianwang's eldest disciple also possessed Chaos Realm strength. Although he was only in the early stage of the Chaos Realm, he had the strength to survive in front of peak Chaos Realm experts.
Luohe Xianwang smiled and shook his head, saying, "The ownership of this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling has already been decided. There's no need to get involved further."
Zhenhai Xianwang did not understand his meaning. It was not until he saw Zhang Fan that he suddenly understood. With such an invincible powerful expert present, which of the many Xianwang present could compete with him?
The dilapidated small universe was about to fully emerge, and the space in this area of the starry sky finally stabilized. The atmosphere in the field immediately became somewhat different.
"There are two major factions competing for this Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling: one side is Zhiwu Xianwang, Yanhuang Xianwang, Luohe Xianwang, and that mysterious powerful expert."
"The other side consists of six great experts: Shenyu Xianwang, Yanlong Xianwang, Luoyun Xianwang, Qingling Xianwang, Chifeng Xianwang, and Heilong Xianwang. In terms of numbers, Heilong Xianwang's side has an advantage, but judging by the atmosphere at the scene, it seems that Zhiwu Xianwang's side has a greater chance." Many cultivators in the He Dao stage, lacking sufficient strength, could only watch from the sidelines, but they were also analyzing the situation.
"Hmph, you don't know this then? That mysterious powerful expert appeared in the Luohe Domain decades ago. Although he only made one move, in that single move, he defeated Luohe Xianwang. With him presiding here, Heilong Xianwang's side probably has no hope."
"To defeat Luohe Xianwang with just one move, wouldn't his strength have already surpassed the He Dao stage? Could he be a Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Venerable?"
"Whether he is a Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Venerable is hard to say, but I think if Heilong Xianwang and his group don't have strong reinforcements, they won't be able to fight with just the few of them."
Although Zhang Fan had only made one move in the Luohe Domain over the past decades, he was still remembered by those who were observant. After all, an expert of this level was enough to change the pattern of a high-level star domain.
"Boom!"
As a powerful fluctuation spread, the Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling completely emerged. The Heilong Xianwang and others acted with great tacit understanding, transforming into streaks of light and charging towards the Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling.
In contrast, Zhiwu Xianwang and the others stood still and watched quietly, making no move. There was a hint of anticipation in their eyes, as they too wanted to know what realm Zhang Fan had reached after decades.
Just as Heilong Xianwang and the others were about to rush into the Immortal Venerable's cave dwelling, Zhang Fan uttered a single word, "Still!"
The bodies of the Xianwang-level experts, who had mastered the Great Dao of Space, were thus fixed in the void. Then, Zhang Fan casually waved his hand, and the enormous small universe continuously shrank, eventually becoming the size of a marble, falling into Zhang Fan's palm.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, Heilong Xianwang and the others were greatly alarmed. His ability to make words manifest even worked on peak Chaos Realm experts. Could he be an Immortal Emperor?
Zhang Fan's current realm had naturally not yet broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but he had already passed the Immortal Venerable tribulation, and his internal universe was nearing perfection, reaching the Dominator realm of the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
Seeing Zhang Fan's methods, Zhiwu Xianwang and the others were filled with amazement. They guessed that Zhang Fan might have already passed the Immortal Venerable tribulation, but they did not expect him to reach this point, where his words were followed by all things.
Zhang Fan gently wiped his hand over the small universe, and a cyan square seal, surrounded by lightning power and emitting a faint imperial might, appeared in his hand.
"This is the last piece of the True Thunder Imperial Seal. Only when the eight True Thunder Imperial Seals are fused together can they be considered a true Immortal Emperor treasure. When separated, they can only be considered a decent Jie Realm divine weapon, but for Chaos Realm cultivators, it is sufficient," Zhang Fan said with a slight sigh as he looked at the cyan square seal in his hand, then threw it to Luohe Xianwang.
Luohe Xianwang held it in his hand, unable to conceal his excitement. For Zhang Fan, this True Thunder Imperial Seal was insignificant, but for Luohe Xianwang, even her entire fortune combined was probably not as precious as this single True Thunder Imperial Seal.
"Thank you, senior," Luohe Xianwang bowed and thanked him.
"Consider it thanks for teaching Luo Shui. A Jie Realm divine weapon is nothing," Zhang Fan said casually before turning to the few Xianwang he had imprisoned in the void. "Old ghost Heilong, I told you that you had no chance with this True Thunder Imperial Seal, but why didn't you believe me?"
Heilong Xianwang and the others felt their bodies loosen as the restraining force disappeared, and they could finally move. This time, facing Zhang Fan's teasing, Heilong Xianwang could only furrow his wrinkled old face and say with a bitter smile, "Junior has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Thank you for not taking my life."
The other Xianwang also quickly bowed. Facing an expert who could easily crush them, they had dared to foolishly try to compete for treasures with him. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of killing them, or they would have likely died the moment they made their move.
Thinking back now, everyone felt a lingering fear, and at the same time, they were a little puzzled. Why was an expert of this level so unknown? They had never heard of him before, which was truly strange.
