In the snow-capped Divine Mountain, there are also magnificent halls standing tall.

Here.

Is where the Snow Mountain Holy Hall has established its foundation on the Bright Continent.

At the beginning.

The people of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall entered the Bright Continent, acting cautiously, fearing to offend the top powerhouses of the continent, which might bring disaster upon them.

However, gradually.

They discovered.

The strength of the Bright Continent was not as formidable as they imagined.

Among the apparent top powerhouses, the strongest were only at the sixth tier, with no seventh-tier powerhouses.

Of course.

This does not mean that seventh-tier powerhouses are extinct.

In fact.

The Pope of the Divine Light Cathedral is a powerhouse at the seventh tier.

The other’s strength is considered the strongest on the Bright Continent, but the Pope has always operated behind the scenes, rarely making a personal appearance.

Such actions.

Naturally gave the Snow Mountain Holy Hall a chance to develop.

In a short time.

Under the leadership of Shen Xue, the Snow Mountain Holy Hall rapidly expanded, continuously spreading the belief in the Divine Emperor.

But the consequence of doing so was a fierce conflict with the continent’s native beliefs, with tensions escalating continuously.

Unfortunately.

The Snow Mountain Holy Hall had deep foundations.

There were many sixth-tier powerhouses, and even against the Divine Light Cathedral, they weren’t the slightest bit weak.

As the Hall Master, Shen Xue had long entered the seventh tier, and if not for the suppression of the Heavenly Dao of the Bright Continent, causing her cultivation to drop slightly, her strength alone would qualify her to sweep across the Bright Continent.

Even so.

Under Shen Xue’s leadership, the Snow Mountain Holy Hall developed extremely rapidly.

In circumstances unknown to the outside world, the Pope of the Divine Light Cathedral once personally ascended the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, intending to destroy it, but was unfortunately repelled by Shen Xue.

Possessing a Magic Spirit Divine Body.

It was exceedingly easy for Shen Xue to fight across tiers.

Now.

Inside the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

Many high-ranking powerhouses were gathered.

"It’s a pity that the Frank fellow escaped. If we could have kept him, it would have been like cutting off an arm of the Divine Light Cathedral!"

Tao Feng said with regret all over his face.

Frank led the cathedral’s army, attacking other strongholds of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, and was ambushed by him, nearly perishing on the spot.

At a critical moment.

Frank used a Supreme Treasure, unleashing power not weaker than the seventh tier, nearly causing Tao Feng’s downfall in the gutter.

Fortunately, his cultivation had long broken through to the limit of the sixth-tier perfection, with even half a step into the seventh tier, coupled with life-saving trump cards exchanged from the Divine Kingdom store, thus barely surviving.

After the words fell.

Another elder spoke solemnly, "Apart from the Pope, there are no seventh-tier powerhouses on the Bright Continent.

And that Pope, being a low-grade seventh-tier, isn’t particularly strong, so the Supreme Treasure in Frank’s hand must not have come from the Pope.

From this perspective, the backing of the Divine Light Cathedral is probably not that simple."

"The Divine Light Cathedral has always claimed that they worship the Light God, and every so often, the Light God will descend miracles.

Could Frank’s Supreme Treasure be related to the Light God?"

Someone else expressed their opinion.

Light God!

This was the Supreme God previously worshiped by the entire Bright Continent.

The word "Light" in Bright Continent comes from the Light God.

However.

Upon deeper investigation, the Light God hadn’t manifested miracles to the world for millennia; only members of the Divine Light Cathedral would occasionally declare such events.

But the specifics of these so-called miracles remain unknown to anyone outside the upper echelons of the Divine Light Cathedral.

Shen Xue’s delicate face showed a cold expression: "What is called a god is merely a highly skilled practitioner. Speaking of powerful gods, who can compare to the Divine Emperor?

Judging by the power of that Supreme Treasure, the being who bestowed it is probably not weak either, at least at the eighth-tier level."

Having personally witnessed Gu Qingyang suppress the Mysterious Emperor with a single hand, drag worlds together, and merge the three realms with supreme methods, other practitioners’ means could no longer stir Shen Xue’s heart.

Hearing her words, the others didn’t show the slightest relief in their expressions.

Not to mention anything else.

With the current strength of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, even a single eighth-tier powerhouse wasn’t something they could withstand.

They had no choice.

The foundation of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall was indeed fragile.

Even now, while gradually consuming the Bright Continent, the resources they could gather were still limited, unable to nurture even a second seventh-tier powerhouse, let alone anything else.

In these circumstances, should an eighth-tier powerhouse actually attack, they would have to consider how to retreat.

"The Light God hasn’t appeared for many years; that eighth-tier powerhouse may not even show up. Besides, if it comes to that, we can just reveal the existence of the Bright Continent, having the Divine Court send experts over.

Those few tributors are all ninth-tier and could easily handle one eighth-tier practitioner."

Compared to others’ gravity, Shen Xue seemed much more relaxed.

It’s just an eighth-tier powerhouse, not enough to make the Snow Mountain Holy Hall fear.

Although the Snow Mountain Holy Hall’s strength wasn’t formidable, they had witnessed too many strong practitioners.

They hadn’t eaten pork.

But they had seen pigs run.

The principle is somewhat the same.

Shen Xue didn’t believe that, facing such a piece of fat meat as the Bright Continent, the Divine Court wouldn’t be tempted.

Hearing her words, the others nodded, their previously tense expressions eased considerably.

At this moment.

A figure abruptly appeared in the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

Seeing this person’s appearance, most people instinctively changed their expressions, then harshly shouted.

"Who dares trespass into the Snow Mountain Holy Hall..."

"Cease your impudence, this is the Divine Emperor!"

Shen Xue’s face instantly changed, hurriedly stopping them with a shout, then immediately bowed to Gu Qingyang.

"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"

"Greetings, Divine Emperor!"

The others now also suddenly realized, seeing Gu Qingyang’s gentle face, which was exactly as they remembered, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they hurriedly bowed deeply.

Everyone was sweating profusely at this moment.

Especially those who had just harshly scolded, wishing to slap themselves.

Blame your vile mouth!

If this person were angered, just sneezing might turn the entire Snow Mountain Holy Hall to ashes.

This was no joke.

With this figure’s supreme might, they were like ants before him.

Gu Qingyang looked at the fearful crowd and smiled faintly.

"No need to be tense, you may all rise and speak."

"Thank you, Divine Emperor!"

Hearing this, everyone instinctively relaxed slightly, then stood up, still not daring to directly look at Gu Qingyang’s face.
