Master of Strange Dao

In the Dazhen palace city, Emperor Zhen stood in mid-air, holding the Jade Seal of Dazhen, mobilizing the power of the Dazhen Divine Dynasty, in cooperation with Yu Ziqing.

His face showed an expression of awe that he could not hide.

He saw Yu Ziqing facing the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, waving his hands gently, like using four ounces to move a thousand pounds. To the west of the Hengduan Mountains, golden light filled the sky, transforming into a golden ocean.

The vast golden wave, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, flowed as if maneuvered by Yu Ziqing's command.

He once thought that a Tenth Tier strong expert had been found somewhere to personally take action.

Unexpectedly, that strong person never personally descended, only remotely sending power, and the one truly taking action was Yu Ziqing.

Others at this moment might not sense it specifically, only perceiving the vast, oceanic power, with more details being beyond their comprehension, as their senses would be shredded when approaching.

However, Emperor Zhen, who was fully mobilizing the power of the Dazhen Divine Dynasty, was able to clearly sense it.

Yu Ziqing had mobilized the power of another Divine Dynasty, vast as a sea of smoke, with extremely deep roots.

It was neither Dali nor Daqian.

Emperor Zhen was very familiar with both of them.

It could only be the power of Dadui's Divine Dynasty.

This power manifested into mysteries that even he found hard to understand.

These were not things that could merely be explained by pure power.

Emperor Zhen finally understood that the Tenth Tier was not just an accumulation of power, a quantitative change causing a qualitative transformation, but something else entirely.

Yet all of this was no longer of much concern to Emperor Zhen.

He was shocked by another matter.

To be able to mobilize the power of the Divine Dynasty in such a manner, besides the current Emperor Dui, there couldn't be a second person.

Like in Dazhen, only Emperor Zhen could mobilize it like this, not even Old Emperor Zhen.

Yu Ziqing was the current Emperor Dui!

In that instant, Emperor Zhen understood many things.

Why, when Dadui still seemed somewhat isolated, the Hungry Ghost Trading Company could make huge deals with Dadui.

Why Dadui was willing to lend a hand to Dazhen.

Why Yu Ziqing was willing to help manage the spread of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

This series of events all made sense now.

Because the relationship was already quite good, plus Dadui also needed a stable external environment, needed to first establish a friendly relationship with another Divine Dynasty to integrate into the current era, among other reasons, which created today's situation.

Emperor Zhen glanced toward Jinlan Mountain, wondering if You Zhen's reluctance to return and his constant stay at Jinlan Mountain was related to this.

But at that time, Yu Ziqing must not have been Emperor Dui yet, his elder brother must have had other reasons for not wanting to return to Dazhen.

Emperor Zhen suppressed his inner shock, deciding not to mention this matter to anyone.

Looking back in memory, he even speculated if it was just coincidence when Old Emperor Qian went to the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land to cross tribulation, just as Dadui returned.

Yet if this matter were spoken of, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

For Dadui's return was not something you could prepare for the next day, should it be planned for today.

Since Dadui's return, piecemeal intelligence indicated that Dadui had been preparing for a long time.

There were even rumors within Dadui, claiming preparations for the comeback began more than a hundred years ago.

It's impossible that Dadui was preparing for a comeback a hundred years ago just to play a trick on Old Emperor Qian, right?

Gambling on Dadui's national destiny, on the lives of everyone, just to set a trap for you?

Old Emperor Qian himself wouldn't believe it.

Emperor Zhen quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, earnestly mobilizing the power of Dazhen's Divine Dynasty, doing his best not to hold Yu Ziqing back.

He could already see, that golden ocean was retreating like a receding tide, from the Hengduan Mountains back into the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

No need for direct observation; just the sensation from the Divine Dynasty's power was enough to confirm that the situation was under control.

The spreading trend of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land was halted, retracting westward of the Hengduan Mountains, where the cold Qi should still be blocked by the Hengduan Mountains.

It was uncertain how much longer it could be blocked.

However, even if it was just two or three hundred years, it would be enough time for Dazhen to plan its future path.

Large vessels are difficult to turn, significant changes require a great deal of time to become stable.

...

Yu Ziqing stood in mid-air, arms stretched, his eyes glowing with golden-red light, and all stray thoughts disappeared, leaving only a single, pure intention in his heart: to control everything here and follow through with the plan.

The golden tide, carrying with it scattered azure blue fragments, kept rolling toward the center.

The tide rose higher and higher, eventually touching the power of the Gang Wind Layer.

Heavenly Fire Gang Wind howled downward, the radiance of the Great Sun tore through the clouds, its colossal Fierce Sun Qi was over a hundred times stronger than on the ground.

Shattered azure blue fragments slowly gathered together, sinking to the core area of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land with the golden vortex.

The swirling speed of the vortex gradually slowed, maintaining a delicate balance, binding those fragments.

When stability was achieved, other notions surged within Yu Ziqing's mind.

Oh crap, a sneeze ruined everything.

Eh? Did I do this?

Does the Mountain Lord's power have this much strength?

What's going on?

When did I become this strong?

Previously, when gaining the power of determination, I couldn't perform such delicate operations.

This time, the power was evidently far beyond the Ninth Tier, yet why was it still so well controlled?

The Mountain Lord's shadow placed a hand on Yu Ziqing's shoulder, watching Yu Ziqing's expression change, and couldn't help but smile.

He knew that Yu Ziqing himself did not know when he had mastered Dadui's Dynasty Skill, also unaware of how to use it.
