East Extending Ancient Clan, secret stronghold.

At this moment, three elders of the East Extending Ancient Clan, Dong Yanhai, Dongyan Jue, and Dong Yanma, were conversing in a room with a silver-white floor.

"The participant list for the conference has been determined, and some Reincarnation Realms have already entered the Yuanhai Ancient Country," Dong Yanma said.

As he spoke, he did not look at anyone, merely staring at the star-studded ceiling, where the stars formed an octagonal cage, over which multiple rings were superimposed.

Within the octagonal cage, there were many stars, and more stars continued to appear.

"The number of Reincarnation Realms has reached 1,253, although they are rather weak."

"We must still guard against any strong reincarnation fighters that may join retrospectively," said Dongyan Jue, who had three eyes, the vertical one on his forehead being the 'Destiny Law Eye,' as if it had been directly installed there.

"Jue, what do you see?" Dong Yanhai asked from beside him.

Because Dongyan Jue would not say such things without reason.

"There are a few more people on the invited list," Dongyan Jue pondered, "For example, Meng Wu from the Red Star Empire, who wasn't on the invited list but suddenly appeared on it."

"Another example is Emperor Hongshan from the Ancient Hill, who was originally in seclusion but has decided to attend the conference,"

Dong Yanhai said, "Is there a problem?"

"Nothing seems amiss," Dongyan Jue shook his head, "The invited list has always been uncontrollable; the previous Spiritual Domain Conferences also had more or less people than the invited list."

"I just feel it should be watched."

"As for the other Reincarnation Realms, let it be, but Emperor-level Reincarnation Realms are not simple."

"Is there any movement in the Destiny Formation?" Dong Yanhai asked.

"Largely none."

"Largely?"

Dongyan Jue pondered, "The spare sacred artifact hasn't changed, but the originally prepared sacred artifact has evolved to the level of Reincarnation Soldiers."

"This proves that Qing Yu Zi has already fallen into the formation without realizing it, but when I observe him, it's still somewhat blurry."

"In what way is it blurry?" Dong Yanhai frowned.

"I see three shadows; it seems as if he's with others."

"And previously when I checked the Destiny Formation, it said Qing Yu Zi was neither alive nor dead, yet the sacred artifact indeed unlocked."

"A dead Qing Yu Zi, a living Qing Yu Zi, true and false, misleading the eyes, it's just a smokescreen." Dong Yanma said blandly.

"Where is he?" Dong Yanhai asked.

"Not within the confines of the Ancient Country."

"Why hasn't he gone to the Yuanhai Ancient Country yet?" Dong Yanhai frowned, "Concerning the sacred artifact, I don't want any surprises."

"Should we use the Destiny Formation to make a correction on him?" Dong Yanma proposed, "Just kill him directly and send the sacred artifact over ourselves."

The two looked at Dongyan Jue, who contemplated, "I have a karma contract with him; if I do this, he will undoubtedly know, and if I want to kill him without him knowing, the cost is not small."

"How significant?" Dong Yanhai asked.

Dongyan Jue calculated with his fingers, and after a moment, he was puzzled, "Surprisingly, there are multiple outcomes."

"What do you mean?"

"At the current time, to kill Qing Yu Zi without leaking information would cost two Reincarnation Soldiers, but to seize the sacred artifact requires one Divine Object."

"In 214 years, this demand will drastically decrease."

"In 416 years, no additional cost will be needed."

Upon hearing this reply, Dong Yanhai nodded, knowing that as time went by, Qing Yu Zi's threat would diminish.

Because even if the information leaked, no one would react in time, reducing the impact on the plan.

Once a fire is set on the mountain, the fire is inevitable, so there's no fear of others knowing.

"In 214 years, if the sacred artifact hasn't fused, even if he's a variable, we'll pay the price to kill him." Dong Yanhai said.

"Alright, I'll make the preparations," Dongyan Jue nodded.

The three then began discussing other matters. If Qing Yu Zi hadn't taken the previously prepared sacred artifact or guessed some inside story, he wouldn't have been discussed by these three Emperor-level Reincarnation Realms.

Qing Yu Zi thought they intended to resurrect a Reincarnation Realm; this speculation was utterly wrong. It was only to have the 'karma contract' as an insurance, but that was merely buying insurance.

"The main focus should be on whether any unexpected people appear at the conference."

"Secondly, the Mystic Spirit History Book," Dong Yanhai said, "We haven't obtained any Time Pages yet, and before the Ancient God is resurrected, the situation could be reversed."

"It's only a few hundred years, it will probably be hard to find...

"The Dark Hall has information, but it's all pretty fake."

"..."

After bidding farewell to Du Yun, Zhao Xing set off to leave Tiger Head Star Land.

He and Ji Si flew toward the Yuanhai Ancient Country, but they did not plan to enter it immediately.

Although Qing Yu Zi's corpse had been pressing him, Zhao Xing wouldn't rush into the Yuanhai Ancient Country.

Now that he's outside the Ancient Country, influenced subtly by certain forces, once he entered the country, it would be hard to leave to do anything.

"If you regard the Yuanhai Ancient Country's territory as a 'Transmission Realm', the area outside the country is relatively safe."

"Qing Yu Zi holding the ancient sword constantly urges entrance; this is an influence, an invisible 'accident' is also an influence, but once inside, the influence would be greater."

It's fine not to enter the 'plot,' but once in, the Boundary Repair Pen will push one along, with no escape.

Unlike when they excavated the grave, where Bai Yang could easily deceive with the Benji Avatar.

"With the Time Page covering me, I can still delay, at least until the person I want to see arrives," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

...

Time flew by, and soon it was Shixin 1700.
