Ten years later.
Canopy State.
Among the 108 states in the southeastern region, the Five Venoms Palace was the largest faction in the Canopy State. It was also the only first-grade faction in the Canopy State.
There were thousands of second-grade factions under the Five Venoms Palace, each dominating a region.
As for the third-grade forces, there were countless of them.
Only with a Dao Comprehending realm expert could a faction be called a second-grade faction.
Among the second-grade factions, there were strong ones and weak ones.
Factions like the Myriad Beast Ridge, which originally only had four Heavenly Venerables, could only be considered weak among the second-grade factions.
A faction with a Supreme Heavenly Venerate was the true overlord among the second-grade factions!
Flood Dragon Island was one of them.
The Lord of Flood Dragon Island was from the Flood Dragon race. His body and bloodline were powerful, and he was also at the perfected Dao Comprehending realm. He was famous among the Supreme Heavenly Venerables.
Countless Supreme Heavenly Venerables had died in his hands, and he rarely lost to anyone of the same level.
It was rumored that the Lord of Flood Dragon Island had a mysterious treasure that could devour treasures and restrain powerful enemies.
Someone had seen with their own eyes a Supreme Heavenly Venerate suddenly disappear during a battle with the Lord of Flood Dragon Island!
That Supreme Heavenly Venerate seemed to have been erased from this world without leaving a trace.
Because of that, although Flood Dragon Island only had one Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the other second-grade factions with Supreme Heavenly Venerables were not willing to provoke them.
On this day, the Lord of Flood Dragon Island woke up from his seclusion with a trace of irritation between his brows.
A Dao Comprehending realm cultivator's lifespan could reach one billion years!
And he was already 800 million years old.
He had stayed in the Dao Comprehending realm for 500 million years!
For a Dao Comprehending realm Supreme Heavenly Venerate with a lifespan of one billion years, 800 million years was already the beginning of his peak.
As time passed and he grew older, all aspects of his body, including his essence, energy, and spirit, would decline.
It would also become more and more difficult to break through.
If he could not take another step forward and step into the Dao Controlling realm, he would probably be stuck at the perfected Dao Comprehending realm for the rest of his life!
One had to know that once one stepped into the Dao Controlling realm, they would have a lifespan of ten billion years!
Compared to the one billion years of the Dao Comprehending realm, it was ten times more!
The Lord of Flood Dragon Island was indignant.
Ever since he had obtained that nameless treasure map back then, he was almost invincible among those of the same realm.
However, even after studying this treasure map for many years, he still could not figure it out and did not gain anything.
Its only use was to set up traps with the help of this nameless treasure map and kill powerful enemies with a surprise attack!
The Flood Dragon Island Master arrived at the main hall.
At this moment, both sides of the hall were filled with people. The weakest among them was an Exalt, while the rest were Empyrean Exalts and Grand Empyreans!
"Congratulations to Royal Father for coming out of seclusion. You'll shine with the sun and the moon, and you'll live forever!"
In the Jiao Dragon Palace, the descendants of the Jiao Dragon Island Lord were the first to step forward. They knelt down and congratulated him loudly.
"Congratulations to the Island Master for coming out of seclusion. The sun and the moon shine together, and you will live forever."
Soon after, the Supremacies, Empyreans, and Grand Empyreans all knelt on the ground.
They were all experts of the Jiao Dragon Island who had come to celebrate the Jiao Dragon Island Lord's eight-hundred-million-year birthday.
"Get up."
The Lord of Serpent Island nodded slightly and said absent-mindedly.
"Is there something on Father's mind?"
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Ying, the fourth son of Island Lord Jiao Long, stepped forward and asked when he saw that Island Lord Jiao Long had a lot on his mind.
"Immortality, immortality … heh!"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord chuckled and shook his head. "It's not that easy to live forever."
"Father, you are in your prime. You will definitely be able to step into the Dao Manipulation Realm and become a Dao Exalt!"
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu, the eighth son of the Jiao Dragon Island Lord, quickly said.
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
He had many sons. His fourth and eighth sons were the most talented and outstanding among the many dragon sons.
The two of them had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and the Jiao Dragon Island Lord had turned a blind eye to it.
After all, the two of them had to do everything they could to curry favor with him in the end.
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu suddenly said, "Father, I've heard of something in recent years. Perhaps it's an opportunity given to you by the heavens that can help you enter the Dao Manipulation Realm!"
"Oh?"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord's dragon whiskers moved, showing a hint of interest.
In his opinion, he didn't want to miss any opportunity that might allow him to step into the Dao Control Realm!
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu kept him in suspense and asked, "Father, have you heard of the Chaos Palace?"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord frowned slightly and said, "Is the Chaos Palace still around? It's said that when the Chaos Sacred Land was destroyed, it was established by a group of slaves in exile. I thought it was destroyed long ago."
"Father, you are wise!"
No matter what the Jiao Dragon Island Lord said, Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu flattered him first before continuing, "The Chaos Palace is indeed on the verge of destruction, but ten years ago, the Chaos Palace gave birth to a Palace Master. It's said that he's an ascender from a medium-class realm.
"This new Chaos Palace Master first destroyed the Black Rat Sect, then killed three Heavenly Venerates, three Great Heavenly Venerates, and two Great Heavenly Venerates of the Black Goat Ridge!
"After that battle, the Chaos Palace took over the Myriad Beast Ridge and now occupies twelve Source Mines. They've become famous in recent years."
"I've also heard of this."
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Ying also said.
"Haha."
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu said with a mocking expression, "What else do you know, Fourth Brother?"
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Ying remained silent.
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord asked, "What race is this ascender? What's his cultivation level?"
"Father, you are wise and powerful. You hit the nail on the head!"
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu praised again. "This Chaos Palace Master is a human. His bloodline is ordinary, and his cultivation level is only at the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm!"
"Oh?"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord heard something strange and asked, "A Supremacy at the Third Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm killed three Heavenly Venerates and three Great Heavenly Venerates?"
"Yes."
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu nodded.
"Why?"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord asked immediately.
Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu said, "As far as I know, this Chaos Palace Master has two treasured swords. They're invincible, and even Great Heavenly Venerates can't block them. They're definitely not ordinary."
"Two swords?"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord muttered softly, feeling slightly disappointed.
If it was just a divine weapon, it might not be of much help to him in his breakthrough.
However, according to what Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu said, these two swords were indeed rare treasures.
A Dao Manifestation Supremacy could kill a Great Heavenly Venerate with them.
If it fell into his hands, what kind of power would it unleash?
"What's the current strength of the Chaos Palace?"
The Jiao Dragon Island Lord asked.
"Father," Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu said in a deep voice.
"I've already investigated. The Chaos Palace currently has twelve Great Heavenly Venerates overseeing it. However, these twelve Great Heavenly Venerates aren't strong enough and aren't much of a threat."
"The only troublesome one is the Chaos Palace Master."
"It's said that other Great Heavenly Venerates tried to seize the Chaos Palace's Source Ore but failed. Instead, they died in the Chaos Palace."
As Great Heavenly Venerate Long Yu spoke, he observed the Jiao Dragon Island Lord's expression. Seeing that the latter was interested, he continued, "As long as Father permits, I'll lead an army from the island to the Chaos Palace. Today, I'll be able to bring those two treasured swords back to Father!"
