The Southern Border of the Divine Land had fallen into the hands of the Ancient Dynasty. The entire Great Swamp of the Ancient Region was included in the Ancient Dynasty's territory and was moving towards the Southern Border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Geographically speaking, the Great Zhou Dynasty had been completely cut off from the Canghai Sword Sect and the Reincarnation Sect. The two sects were now in the Ancient Dynasty's territory.
The Reincarnation Sect was still keeping a low profile and biding their time. However, ever since the Dark Lord took over the position of the Sect Master of the Reincarnation Sect, he was on good terms with Xuanmen Tianzong and respected the Ancient Dynasty. There were no conflicts between the two parties, and the situation was stable.
The Sect Master of the Canghai Sword Sect, the Sword Lord of the Canghai Sword Sect, finally came out of seclusion after the war between the two worlds and successfully reached the Void Reunification Stage. However, he didn't dare to fight the Ancient Dynasty head-on. He retreated from the continent and returned to the sea. He was now alone in the sea and didn't set foot on the mainland.
However, the Canghai Sword Sect was more confident in facing the Great Zhou Dynasty. The two parties were still close and often communicated with each other, but they were no longer subordinates like before.
At the moment, the Void Temple and the Mount Shu Sword Sect had both sealed their mountains. Although the Buddhist Sect was rejuvenated, it was hard to find a spiritual mountain at the moment. After the position of the Celestial Sect of Xuan became more and more aloof, the human cultivation world of the Divine Continent gradually formed a situation where many other powers were inclined to unite and deal with the ancient dynasty together.
Gu Jun and the other leaders of the Ancient Dynasty seemed to have foreseen this. They were neither arrogant nor rash, and they fought steadily and steadily on the Divine Land with ease.
In the Divine Land, Xuanmen Tianzong's status became more and more aloof, and he was more and more established as a leader. If another war between the two worlds broke out, Xuanmen Tianzong would undoubtedly become the leader of the Divine Land in a state of war.
Even if it wasn't for the special period of the war between the two worlds, the human cultivators in the Divine Land were also on good terms with Xuanmen Tianzong and gradually moved closer to him.
However, Xuanmen Tianzong did not intervene in the grudges and disputes between human cultivators.
However, due to the existence of Xuanmen Tianzong, the overall situation was relatively stable. However, there was no doubt about the strength of the ancient dynasty. It was only natural that the other forces would join forces to resist them.
The other factions were led by Great Qin and Great Zhou, and the Ancient Dynasty was also forming alliances with each other. Although the intensity was not high, the situation in the Divine Land could be said to be turbulent.
To the Ancient Dynasty that had the upper hand, as long as they did not make any mistakes, they would be able to maintain their upper hand.
Recently, the ancient dynasty's dominant position had been further consolidated.
It wasn't an actual increase in strength, but the psychological advantage they had against other sects and forces would be more obvious.
In another three days, it would be the day that Xuanmen Tianzong's first disciple, the City Lord of Flame Emperor City, Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, would be engaged to the daughter of the current Ancient Emperor.
Not to mention the person standing behind Xiao Yan, even Xiao Yan himself is an influential figure in the current cultivation world, his influence is not the slightest bit weaker than the current ancient emperor.
Although Xiao Yan had been living in seclusion since the war between the two worlds and rarely appeared in the Great Heaven Primordial World, no one dared to look down on him.
A year ago, the two sides had set a date. Xuanmen Tianzong would arrive in Eternal City in three days. Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhen 'er would be officially engaged, and the date of the wedding would be set.
However, the most eye-catching thing was that not long ago, Xuanmen Tianzong suddenly released news that Xiao Yan's teacher, the master of the Mysterious Gate, Lin Feng, would be personally going to Eternal City.
Everyone was shocked by this news.
Although the engagement required the appearance of the elders, Xiao Yan's grandfather was still alive. Although his cultivation level was limited, he was still his closest relative.
As everyone knew, the master of the Mysterious Gate, Lin Feng, had not stepped into the world for many years. This time, he actually came personally, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Although they always knew that the Master of Xuan Gate cared for his direct disciple in every possible way, this kind of situation still made many people guess in their hearts that the reason he went to Longevity City this time was not only for Xiao Yan's engagement, but also for other important matters.
Especially this time, when the world was invited to Longevity City to attend the ceremony, which was convened by the Celestial Sect of Xuanmen, it made everyone even more puzzled.
However, this kind of unusual action, to them, was not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone wanted to understand Lin Feng's intentions, so they all went to Eternal City.
Even the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Northern Militant Imperial Court, which had a tense relationship with the ancient dynasty, also sent their experts.
With Xuanmen Tianzong's invitation, they were not afraid that the ancient dynasty would harm them.
On the other hand, if Xuanmen Tianzong suddenly changed his neutral stance and fully supported the ancient dynasty to unify the Divine Land, then there would be no need for such trouble.
At this moment, in Eternal City, people came and went. Streams of light constantly flashed in the void. The cultivators of the ancient dynasty had their own arrangements to receive the various guests.
Facing the cultivators of the Great Zhou and Great Qin, they did not forget their etiquette. Everything was in order.
The disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong, under the lead of Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and the others, also arrived at Eternal City early. Their appearance naturally attracted the attention and attention of the cultivators of the other clans.
As for Xuanmen Tianzong and the others, after the ancient dynasty settled them in their residences, they also dispersed to interact with the cultivators of the various clans who came to attend the ceremony.
They were like half a host, but they would not overstep their boundaries and usurp the host's position.
This caused Emperor Qin Shi Zongtang, Emperor Zhou Liang Qian, Great Chanyu of the Northern Militant Imperial Court, and the others to have some doubts in their hearts.
However, they naturally did not show any abnormalities on the surface. Instead, they chatted happily with Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and the others.
Today, not to mention Lin Feng himself, even Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and the others' reputation and status were also becoming more and more grand, and with the emergence of Primordial Spirit powerhouses among the disciples under their sects, everyone's status and identity were already different from the past, and they could even talk as equals with the sect leaders of other forces.
And among them, the thing that attracted the attention of the other forces was that the first seat elder of Zhu Yi's Qian Tian Palace, Yang Tie, actually came to Eternal City with Zhu Yi.
On the contrary, the first seat elder of Xiao Yan's Fen Tianya, Tang Jun, stayed at Yujing Mountain and did not come here.
Today's event was a joyous occasion for Xiao Yan. Although the engagement did not necessarily require him to be there, Xuanmen Tianzong had previously said that Xiao Yan would be there in person.
Now that Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and the others had arrived, it was naturally impossible for Xiao Yan not to come.
And for such a big event, as the first disciple of Xiao Yan, Tang Jun had to run around for his master and welcome the guests. He would not stay at Fen Tianya like in the past.
But this time, Tang Jun stayed at Yujing Mountain.
According to the previous news, not only Lin Feng himself, but all of his personal disciples will also come to Longevity City to witness their eldest senior brother's happy occasion.
As such, Tang Jun, as one of the leading figures of Xuanmen Tianzong's second generation direct disciples, stayed at Yujing Mountain. His duty was likely to be to stay behind and take charge of the overall situation.
If this task was done by Yang Tie, there would be no special meaning. After all, Tang Jun coming to Eternal City to help his master, Xiao Yan, was a matter of course.
But now, this task had fallen to Tang Jun. In the eyes of the others in the Divine Land, it was a signal of extraordinary significance.
After Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, and the others, the confirmation of the second generation successor of Xuanmen Tianzong seemed to gradually become clear.
The more robust Tang Jun began to take the lead over Yang Tie.
Although it was still very far away and no one knew what changes would happen in this long period of time, this signal undoubtedly attracted the attention of many.
This naturally included the experts of the ancient dynasty.
But they might not be as relaxed as some people thought.
Because of the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhen 'er, the ancient dynasty had a deeper relationship with Xuanmen Tianzong, especially with Fen Tianya. On the surface, it seemed that the ascension of Xiao Yan's first disciple, Tang Jun, was more beneficial to the ancient dynasty. It would bring the two parties closer, and put more pressure on the Great Qin, Great Zhou, and other forces.
But those with foresight could clearly see that the ascension of the strong and robust Tang Jun would not be beneficial to the ancient dynasty in the future in the Divine Land.
If Yang Tie was Xiao Yan's disciple and ascended to the position of successor, the ancient dynasty might be happy.
The somewhat confusing situation undoubtedly made the other forces, including the ancient dynasty, unable to see through the current situation.
In Longevity City, Luo Qingwu smiled and sighed, "How could there be so many calculations? It's just because Martial Nephew Tiancang is more outstanding and more suitable than Martial Nephew Tiantai."
Zhu Yi in front of her did not mind at all when she said this, saying with a smile, "Our sect will not use the method of playing balance like the Taixu Temple did in the past, but Master's prestige, as well as our sect's current strength, has already determined that even if we do not have the will, we will still imperceptibly affect the judgment and thoughts of other people in the divine continent, and affect the overall situation of the divine continent."
"Eldest Senior Brother and Miss Zhen 'er are in love with each other and should not be mixed with other external factors. But their union is destined to be seen by the outside world as a marriage alliance between our sect and the ancient dynasty."
Unless Xuanmen Tianzong explicitly denied it, the ancient dynasty's reputation would definitely rise after Xiao Yan's engagement. In the eyes of others, it would also become the force closest to Xuanmen Tianzong.
Even if the ancient dynasty did not express anything, other forces would unconsciously associate it with the power of Xuanmen Tianzong when they faced it. Then, they would feel that it was difficult to fight against it.
But when Tang Jun's matter came out, in some people's eyes, many different meanings could be seen, as if there was some kind of hint.
Even the ancient dynasty would have some connections.
And these things, just like Xiao Yan's engagement, could not be directly verified with Xuanmen Tianzong. They could only guess, analyze, and interpret it themselves.
But this kind of interpretation was not necessarily the same as Xuanmen Tianzong's original intention.
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and said, "To a certain extent, this dispels the pressure that Eldest Senior Brother's marriage will bring to other forces. But does it make the matter between Eldest Senior Brother and Miss Zhen 'er simpler or more complicated?"
Wang Lin said faintly, "Miss Zhen 'er will definitely not misunderstand, and that is enough. Moreover, her father, Senior Gu, is not an ordinary person. He will most likely understand what is going on."
Luo Qingwu shook her head and said, "There is also a mistake in calculating."
The Senior and Junior Brothers and Sisters looked at each other and sighed together. For a moment, they did not know whether to laugh or cry.
For them, it was obviously a very simple matter.
