Upon hearing these words, Mu Chantian suddenly looked up, ending his meditation, and said excitedly:

"Is it really him?!"

The Dao Lineage where Mu Jiu Zhou resides, although not forming a Gate, is genuinely a Transcendence Dao Lineage, with an Ancestor Master Wuque.

According to him, Ancestor Master Wuque looked favorably upon the World Venerable Lineage and even left an obsession that transformed into a wisp of a clone, tirelessly searching in later generations until finding Mu Shitian to resolve the obsession, all because a "World Venerable" appeared on the Returning to Truth Road!

Mu Jiu Zhou nodded heavily and said solemnly:

"As expected, the World Venerable who suppressed the Ancestor Masters on the Returning to Truth Road back then was Ji Jingqiu!"

Even though this answer was long anticipated, Mu Chantian couldn't help but be lost in thought when it was truly confirmed.

"We must set off now. According to what Master said back then, the 'World Venerable' will attract many murderous intents upon return, and we need to protect his path, speaking of which..."

Mu Jiu Zhou paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled:

"I originally thought he wouldn't expose himself so early. Although the Netherworld is in chaos, it shouldn't affect him."

Mu Chantian came to his senses, frowning: "Where on earth is the murderous intent coming from? The Transcendence Gates of various families? Is there an Ancestor Master unwilling to witness the emergence of the World Venerable?"

"Master didn't say before leaving, but he mentioned that everyone who attacks 'World Venerable' is an enemy of the Sea of Realms!" Mu Jiu Zhou said slowly, "We've been thinking about it and fear it might be related to the Returning to Truth Land!"

Mu Chantian's pupils contracted abruptly.

"Since the Ancestor Masters can go to the Returning to Truth Land, the people of Returning to Truth Land might be able to infiltrate the Sea of Realms."

"And this infiltration may have been ongoing for a long time, perhaps even within the Ancestor Masters..."

Mu Jiu Zhou paused, as concerning the Ancestor Masters, even if Master hinted at this in the past, he still didn't dare to decide lightly.

"For example, the Red Lotus Realm Master is suspected of being from the Returning to Truth Land."

Mu Jiu Zhou said with a solemn expression: "This generation would never want to see the 'World Venerable' return to the pinnacle! They will certainly act in advance to obstruct his path!"

Returning to the pinnacle... Mu Chantian was speechless.

To be honest, even now, he couldn't help but doubt whether Ji Jingqiu was indeed the reincarnation of a Supreme.

After all, even ancestors and others, in the information found by Wuque Dao Lineage, are suspected to be the reincarnation of that Netherworld Lord.

Mu Jiu Zhou grabbed Mu Chantian and said, "It's time to move. It's a race against time and a great opportunity to find internal spies."

They were originally stationed at a point not far from the Netherworld, and now they set off directly, crossing the Sea of Realms, heading for the Netherworld.

Before leaving, Mu Jiu Zhou sent a signal to summon fellow sect members, and specifically brought out the Path Protecting relic left by the Master, appearing fully armed!

In his view, given that World Venerate Ji did not hesitate to expose his identity at the Heavenly Venerate Realm, he must have encountered an unparalleled enemy, so being cautious is never wrong.

Thinking of this.

Mu Jiu Zhou suddenly retracted the step he had already taken, murmuring:

"Junior Brother Mu, wait a moment, I'll go summon the Path Protecting Divine Weapon left by the Master. This one usually doesn't bother with us, but now that the World Venerable has appeared, I think we can finally move it..."

Mu Chantian kindly reminded, "Brother Mu, think again, see if there are any foundational resources of the sect we've overlooked. Bring everything we can; it's better to be prepared."

...

Previously, Ji Jingqiu had overestimated the waves that might be triggered by exposing his 'World Venerable' identity.

But he did not know that he had still grossly underestimated the massive waves this "deep-water bomb" would set off after exploding within the Sea of Realms.

Even the Dao Lineage where Mu Jiu Zhou resided was just one fragment of it.

Now, the news of the World Venerable's appearance has already been rapidly disseminated through various family channels to all parts of the Sea of Realms, though it will still take time before everyone knows.

In the meantime, the saints who originally gathered in the Conference Hall of the Great Universe had departed one after another, rushing to the Daluo Heaven where the Holy King Lineage was located.

Who would have thought, in the end, they all faced closed doors!

"We all visited the Holy King Lineage together, yet the Saint King refuses to see us, how does this make sense?"

"The Saint King? A deity of a small corner of the world dares to insult us like this!"

"Just break in, do they really think this place is some kind of Forbidden Land?"

"No way! That person is sitting inside, cannot be offended!"

"Heh heh, Old Qiu, that identity hasn't been confirmed yet, no need to be so restrained, even if it is truly him, now he is merely..."

The unfinished sentence turned into a low laugh, with the implication being quite clear—regardless of his former glory, at present, he is merely a Heavenly Venerable!

However, the next moment, someone said coldly: "Fool, how could an existence like that not have left back-up plans if they chose to reincarnate and cultivate again?"

This statement immediately gained the nods of everyone.

No one knows whether an existence that chose to reincarnate and cultivate again still has remnants of an old shell.

Following the history of the Sea of Realms, this is entirely possible.

Even if only two or three tenths of the Dao Power remains in the old shell, given this person's former realm, it could likely still be above the Transcendence level!

Among the disciples gathered from various families, someone casually spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand, our Ancestor Master decreed before leaving, if the World Venerable reappears in later generations, we must protect his path as repayment for the favors on the Returning to Truth Road."

"If anyone dare disrespects today, don't blame us for not giving a heads-up."

This proclamation was a blatant stand to support Ji Jingqiu, which immediately caused quite a stir among the crowd.

"Heh, what a coincidence." Soon, someone retorted sharply, "Our Ancestor Master decreed, if anyone dares to impersonate the World Venerable, slay them!"

Feng Ming and two others were also among the crowd, surrounded by the Pantheon and many allies of the Pantheon.

The group gathered around Feng Ming and the other two, arriving outside the Daluo Heaven.
