‘Did I just become a half-step Wisdom Dictator?’ thought Goddess Nuwa and Yang Jing in disbelief. Nevertheless, the newfound power in their bodies did not lie. It was natural for them to doubt since the gap between a third-step Wisdom Elite and a half-step Wisdom Dictator was like heaven and earth. Not to mention, there was also the factor of one’s luck, and it was not surprising to know that many cultivators would find themselves stuck as a third-step Wisdom Elite with no end in sight. However, the two of them crossed the gap just by drinking a cup of tea.
Woof! Woof! Woof! Blackie had unknowingly arrived and was pulling on Li Nianfan’s pants with his mouth. Then, he turned up to look at his master with his big, sad puppy dog eyes.
‘Why would a dog want to drink some tea?’ thought Li Nianfan, a little speechless. However, after seeing Blackie’s big, sad puppy dog eyes, he decided to fill up Blackie’s water bowl to the brim with tea.
“Thank you, Master!” barked Blackie happily, his tail wagging non-stop. Then, he started to drink from his water bowl. ‘Hahaha! With this, my blood will receive an upgrade, too!’
Soon after, Yang Jing and Goddess Nuwa bid Li Nianfan farewell and returned to the Heavenly Palace. Once there, they received the bad news that the powerhouses in the Northern Star Region were making a move to invade the seven dimensions, and the ones taking the lead were the Ascension Sect, the Shinto Pavilion, and the Heavenless Devil Palace. Fortunately, the Heavenly Palace had already planted some spies in the Origins Realm.
“The Ascension Sect, the Shinto Pavilion, the Heavenless Devil Palace, and the Demon Gathering Star have Wisdom Dictators in their lineup. It’ll be the biggest catastrophe the seven dimensions would ever face if they really do join forces,” said Cultivator Junjun worriedly.

“More importantly, their target’s most likely the expert. We cannot let them disturb the expert no matter what!” said Xiao Chengfeng solemnly.
“We have to notify Goddess Daji and the others as soon as possible so they’ll have time to prepare,” said the Jade Emperor in a low voice.
Meanwhile, Left Messenger had been on a run, acting as a go-between to the four sects. She was exhausted but fortunately, everything was going according to plan. Apart from the four major sects, other smaller sects wanted to join them as well.
They had all gathered together and their numbers were imposing. Standing at the forefront of the troops were five people, Murong Yunkong, Mu Chengfeng, Taoist Taiyin, Sitian Manxiong. They were the respective sect masters of the Heavenless Devil Palace, the Shinto Pavilion, the Ascension Sect, and the Demon Gathering Star. The last person standing alongside them was of course Left Messenger.
Left Messenger would be the one leading the charge toward the Ancient Forbidden Area. She was bringing everyone up-to-date with all that she knew about the place.
“I can’t believe that the Heavenly Palace actually came from the Ancient Forbidden Area. It’s been many years since the place opened!”
“No wonder that group of people seemed to appear out of thin air. No one would’ve guessed that they came from the Ancient Forbidden Area.”
“I thought the Ancient Forbidden Area would be very abysmal. Imagine my shock when it was discovered that it had so many secrets. No wonder it requires so many of us to invade it.”
“No matter what, it’s impossible for the measly Ancient Forbidden Area to stop the advance of four Wisdom Dictators. We’ll definitely lift their mysterious veil this time!”
There were a lot of discussions as each of them was looking forward to entering the Ancient Forbidden Area.
“Since you’re from the Ancient Forbidden Area, you must know who’s the strongest person there and how many Wisdom Dictators they have, right?” Murong Yukong asked Left Messenger.
“To be honest, the cultivators in the Ancient Forbidden Area are less powerful than those in the Origins Realm. However, that group of people is special. Their cultivation speed, their ultimate spells, and their treasures are all the best of the best. In fact, they were the ones who opened up the Ancient Forbidden Area!
“There’s a huge secret backing them up, and through that secret, they’ve been getting their hands on the strongest treasures, the strongest ultimate spells, and even the strongest divine fruits! All these and more can be found on a specific mountain!” said Left Messenger seriously.
‘Ever since I met them, all I’ve been hearing about is the big secret behind them from the mouths of others, and everyone who went to the mountain in search of it has ended up dead. I’m sure that would be your fate, too. I’ll only take you there but the rest is up to you,’ thought Left Messenger.
Murong Yunkong and the others were none the wiser. Their eyes lit up with greed as soon as the words ‘big secrets’ were mentioned. The more mysterious the whole thing was, the more good fortune they expected to receive.
“So, just how many Wisdom Dictators are there?” asked Mu Chengfeng.
“I have no idea,” answered Left Messenger with a shake of her head. “Whatever goes on up in that mountain is unfathomable. My spiritual cultivation’s too low for me to know.”
Taoist Taiyin sneered and said, “There’s no need for us to worry even if they have a Wisdom Dictator amongst them since we have the Heaven Plundering Alliance on our side! Don’t forget that they’re the ones who brought the Battle Spirit Guardians to their knees.”
“Well said,” said Murong Yunkong with a nod of his head.
“Is it true that there are two absolutely enchanting she-demons there?” asked Sitian Manxiong in a gruff voice. Nobody was surprised at his question since he was renowned throughout the whole Northern Sky Region for his lecherous behavior.
“Yes, the famous Nine-Tailed Foxes, the most beautiful of them all,” replied Left Messenger. She paused for effect, then, she said, “You might’ve heard of the rumor that the Nine-Tailed Fox isn’t only beautiful but can control the mind of others. That was why the young master of the Heavenless Devil Palace wanted to capture her.”
Sitian Manxiong licked his lips with anticipation. “Haha! Serves him right for wanting to steal my woman!”
Murong Yunkong’s face darkened and he said threateningly, “Sitian Manxiong, you better watch what you say or else you’re going to be in a world of pain!”
“Bring it on! You don’t scare me at all!” shouted Sitian Manxiong tyrannically.
Left Messenger stared at the two of them with her mouth agape, thinking to herself how unreliable they were if just a few simple words could bring about an internal conflict.
Mu Chengfeng and Taoist Taiyin quickly intervened and reminded them about the most important matter at hand.
“Well then, follow my lead and I’ll bring you to our destination!” boomed Left Messenger. Then, she turned around and charged toward the Ancient Forbidden Area with the troops following behind her. The combined effect of their mana was so bright that they illuminated the void.
Soon, they entered the first dimension, and under Left Messenger’s guidance, they arrived at the seventh dimension’s Area of the Gods. Along the way, they were left unimpressed by what they saw. It was just as Left Messenger said, there were not that many skilled cultivators around. Why, they did not even have that many third-step Wisdom Elites. It was a very pitiful sight to see.
Sitian Manxiong took the opportunity to kidnap a few she-demons from god-knows-where, keeping them captive by his side. “Hahaha! Just as well, there are so many beautiful she-demons here. I was getting bored of the ones back home. This is already turning out to be a worthwhile trip! All the she-demons will be mine! Mine, I say! Hahaha.”
