The white clouds at the top of the Wutong tree churned as the autumn rain fell. What a cool day, what a cool autumn!

In the vast void above, a tide of people surged as they faced off against each other!

These outstanding experts were divided into four factions. They stood facing each other, but there was no tension in the atmosphere. On the contrary, they were in harmony, and their tones were gentle.

On the left was a group of nine men, the one at the front was a refined middle-aged man with a book and a long sword at his waist. Beside him was a young man with a black chessboard, staring intently at the crisscrossing chessboard.

Behind them were three people. On their left was a white-haired man holding a long sword. His gaze was sharp and terrifying. From the right was a ghost-like gray-haired old man who looked like a ghost.

One of them was an old man with straight black hair and a straight waist. The other was a middle-aged Daoist, who was drinking from a gourd of wine lying in the clouds. There was a small old man who had no special features except that he had been vulgar, while the other was a domineering man in a straw coat, who was fishing with a fishing rod.

They were the Nine Supremes of the Azure Sky, the nine most powerful humans of the Azure Sky Continent.

The man holding the scroll was the Cosmic Star Academy's head — Wen Zun; the one staring at the board was the chess master from the mysterious Star Seizer Pavilion; the white-haired man with the long sword was the Sword Faction's legendary sword master; the man was the ghost king from the Martial Saint Palace in the Kingdom of Yanyun, located between the Flying Dragon Empire and the Snow Wind Empire; the one in the middle was the Cosmic Star Academy's incomparably strict supreme expert; the weirdly old man with the aged face was the Li Huo Sect's Ancestor, Du Zun; the drunkard Daoist was the Wine Lord; the wretched little old man was the Evil Sovereign; the one in the fishing cloak was the Dragon Shrine's Sea Zun.

Opposite them were six people. They were the super hegemon of the Black Wind Sacred Tiger race, Demon King Black Wind, the mighty expert of the Violent Ape race, Demon King Yuan Zhen, Demon King Flying Eagle, Demon King Moon of the Moon Wolf clan, Great Peng King of the Roc race, and Demon King Entropy of the Alligator race.

The group of people scattered on both sides of the road were with Nightmare, a purple-robed person. There were a total of five people, each of them had an extraordinary bearing and demeanor. Among them was an 18 or 19 year old sword-wielding youth.

To be able to be on the same land as the six kings at the age of eighteen or nineteen, he was no longer a genius.

The other group consisted of the middle-aged man riding the cricket and leading the three demon kings from Blood Flag Mountain Range. They were respectively the demon kings riding the crickets, the demon kings belonging to the Barbarian Bear Tribe and the incomparably enchanting Flower Demon King.

With so many peerless experts gathered together, it was for no other reason than to discuss things with him.

Demon King's Ridge had insisted on staying in the permanent residence to revive the Ice Emperor and expel him when the great calamity predicted by Star Seizer Pavilion appeared.

On the human side, the Nine Supremes were divided into two sides. One side believed that they needed to nurture a permanent residence, after all, great calamity was approaching, and since the Heavenly Dao allowed the Ice Emperor to reincarnate, the Frigid Bone Spirit Flag chose a permanent residence to take advantage of the situation, but the Monster race had to make some concessions. The other side believed that the Demon Emperor's reappearance would affect the peace of the Green Sky Continent.

Nightmare's side protected the house and did not waver in the slightest. Their voices were the same; Blood Flag Mountain's side did not move an inch, but their attitude indicated that they wanted to kill the house.

The group of people could not argue back and forth, and since they were too embarrassed to fight in anger over this matter, they decided to slowly discuss it over.

Finally, the two of them reached a satisfactory agreement, which was that after reaching the Deity Controlling Realm, they would go train in the demon race, all the way until that calamity in the Outer World Divine Clan arrived and reborn the Ice Emperor.

For the Demon Emperor to revive the Demon Emperor, he had to obtain the will of the banner master. The human side only needed to instill a little bit of hatred between the human race and the demon race during the nurturing process, and if the Outer World God Clan really had to die suddenly, then the Ice Emperor would have to come out to defend the foreign enemies.

Humans were the winners!

As for the other two sides, after this news came out, they didn't have any more objections.

Soon, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed. As for the heavy responsibility of letting Chang Lou go to the Cosmic Star Academy, Nightmare had automatically shouldered it.

Chang Lou didn't know anything as he had been meditating all this time.

Naturally, that building was far away. He was currently training quietly in a secluded place with the Frigid Bone Soul-Scattering Flag stuck in his side.

He suddenly realized that the Icy Bone Soul-Sending Flag could isolate a person's aura. In order to not cause so much trouble and focus on cultivation so that he could break through to the Natal Opening Realm, he needed a good environment.

If one did not reach the Natal Opening Realm, it would be difficult for them to survive in the other realms, much less the more dangerous hinterland and the harder it was to reach the summit.

"Hey!" "Where did you go?" Nightmare appeared out of thin air, but he was still unable to discover Chang Lou even after activating his spiritual sense. This made him incomparably shocked.

"Could it be that he has already left Blood Flag Mountain? Damn it, they must have been secretly taken away by those fellows! Humph! I'm not easy to fool! "

Nightmare had originally left a trace of spiritual will in Chang Lou's body. First, he could sense his presence, and secondly, he wanted to save him at a critical moment. Who would have thought that after beating up Chang Lou so badly that he was on the verge of death, the Locked Wing Roc had triggered the protection of his Divine Sense and vanished after healing his injuries. He was in an urgent situation, so he couldn't use his Divine Sense anymore.

Cultivating for a long time, Chang Lou went into seclusion in the cave for nearly three months.

When he stepped out of the underground cave, it was already snowing heavily.

The year was about to end, the new year was about to begin, and everything was about to come back to life.

The grass was about to break out of the snow, to suck green, to sprout, to seed, to go through its cycle of reincarnation.

Snow was still falling. The forest had been occupied by the white desert. Desolation, desolation, loneliness!

There were a few rows of small animal paw prints in the forest. Winter was the season that wild beasts loved the most.

The moment winter arrived, the incomparably powerful demons of Blood Flag Mountain would show their responsibility as bosses by denying the human cultivators access to the sealed forests, prohibiting demon beasts above the Connate realm from fighting. Over the past few thousand years, this had already become an iron law of the continent.

Therefore, in winter, there were almost no humans in Blood Flag Mountain. They only belonged to this group of naturally occurring Elves.

Naturally, Chang Lou knew about this, so he was very careful. He carefully made his way to the great roc's territory. He wanted to compete with the great roc again.

As for the Winged Golden Roc, there was no need to worry. That fellow was dormant for 11 months every year. The last time he woke up was an accident.

As long as the human cultivators that entered the forest before the closing time didn't take the initiative to attack the demon beasts, the demon clan members that were in charge of patrolling the security would be ignored. The main reason was that the humans inside could only be killed by the Monster race, not the Monstrous Beasts. With such a setting, naturally, the howling Monstrous Beasts would not oppose it.

It would be a big problem if the locked wing roc didn't die after freezing into a lump. After all, Chang Lou needed that opponent!
