326: The confinement protection array is released, and the four emperors come to visit together

“Greetings, Supreme Palace Master! May the Supreme Palace Master enjoy boundless fortune!”

Long Aotian’s arrival quickly startled the entire Four Symbols Island, and the first to be alerted was the Dragon Heaven Palace branch. As their welcoming shouts continuously echoed, the Disciples of the hundred-thousand giant factions also began to clamor.

After all, when they were teleported to Four Symbols Island, their Sects considered themselves subsidiary Sects of Dragon Heaven Palace, and Long Aotian had evidently become their common Supreme Palace Master.

Not to mention that he was also the Continent Lord of Sky Ruins!

Four Symbols Island was laid out according to the trigram Formation of Longtian Island, with the Dragon Heaven Palace branch at the very center, then the branches of other continent-level giants surrounding the Dragon Heaven Palace branch in the innermost layer, followed by sub-continent-level giant branches… circle after circle, encircling the Dragon Heaven Palace branch.

The Sky Ruins teleportation platform was located in the Dragon Heaven Palace branch area.

The first thing Long Aotian and the others had to do upon arriving in Xianwu was to set up a sky-covering, sun-shading protective Divine Formation at the Sky Ruins teleportation platform to ensure that the Ascenders teleported from Sky Ruins would not be sensed by Xianwu’s Heavenly Dao, directly triggering an Ascension Lightning Tribulation or Ascension Passage at the Sky Ruins teleportation platform, blocking the platform.

Being able to teleport a hundred thousand people over at once, if they were to undergo Tribulation Transcendence and Ascension while blocking the teleportation platform, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

He had already reminded those Ascenders who were about to be teleported, and those fellows were indeed obedient, not immediately following him to be teleported over.

Of course, this might also be the respect they wanted to show him.

But for safety’s sake, he still had to set up a large protective Formation for them to ensure that when they were teleported over, they would not undergo Tribulation Transcendence and Ascension immediately under the protection of the Formation.

The second thing was to remove the protective Formation, Divine Sense isolation Formation, and other Formations that had sealed off Four Symbols Island, allowing communication with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Four Great Empires.

As soon as the sealing Formation was removed, the spies from the Four Great Empires stationed near Four Symbols Island immediately became aware.

While sending messages back to their respective Empires, they also successively set foot on Four Symbols Island, beginning to gather more information for their Empires.

Soon, the spies who set foot on Four Symbols Island were all shocked by the sight on the island, some even trembling in fear.

Due to the continuous warfare between the Four Great Empires, Four Symbols Island originally had a population of less than ten billion, or even less than five billion. But what was the current population?

It was as many as fifty or sixty billion!

This was extremely terrifying!

Of course, if it were only a surge in population, it wouldn’t be enough to make the spies tremble. The critical point was that these extra people seemed to be uniformly Tribulation Realm Experts, and moreover, they were all at the Middle and Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. The powerful oppressive Qi emanating from each of them made their legs go weak.

The changes on Four Symbols Island were simply too immense and astonishing, making them shiver with fear and horror!

This must be reported to Your Majesty immediately!

The imperial capitals of the Four Great Empires soon received the news.

“What, the mysterious grand Formation that sealed off Four Symbols Island for nearly two years has been removed? Quick, check for me what exactly is happening on Four Symbols Island. I want to know what exactly happened on Four Symbols Island at the first possible moment!”

...“What, over fifty billion people have appeared on Four Symbols Island, and all of them are Cultivators at the Middle and Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm? How is this possible?”

“Indeed, didn’t Four Symbols Island only have about five billion people? What’s with these suddenly appearing tens of billions of people? It can’t be that they just appeared out of nowhere, can it? Or are these people all outsiders, not from our Immortal Martial Continent?”

“Not from our Immortal Martial Continent? That is indeed very possible.”

“Investigate thoroughly for me! Also, investigate thoroughly what mysterious power threw my hundreds of millions of soldiers into the sea to feed the fish back then. My forty-meter watermelon knife is already thirsting for blood!”

“...”

...“One hundred thousand giant Immortal Cultivation forces? Sky Ruins Continent? Dragon Heaven Palace? The Supreme Palace Master of Dragon Heaven Palace has arrived? He was the one who threw me into the sea back then? Someone, bring me my forty-meter watermelon knife.”

“Your Majesty, we cannot attack Four Symbols Island. The Supreme Palace Master of Dragon Heaven Palace is said to be an Immortal, and his cultivation has reached the Immortal Lord Realm! His Dao Companion has even reached the Immortal Emperor Realm! If we anger them, they could destroy our White Tiger Empire in a matter of minutes with a flick of a finger.”

...“Bring me dozens of carts of watermelons, I want to eat melons!”

...“Your Majesty, please don’t always scare this old minister. Recently, this old minister keeps having nightmares, dreaming of many female ghosts who want to take me away, saying that this old minister’s heart is not good, and if I go with them, I can live without a heart.”

“...”

...With Four Symbols Island open to the outside, it was actually very easy for spies to gather information. By releasing their Divine Sense, they could eavesdrop on the conversations of those Cultivators, or they could go to taverns and teahouses to eavesdrop, or even directly knock someone out and interrogate them.

Within a day, the Four Great Empires had a basic understanding of the general situation on Four Symbols Island, and the emperors of the Four Great Empires immediately looked extremely grim.

From the constantly returning messages, they could easily see that Four Symbols Island was no longer a place that their Four Great Empires could covet.

The emperor of the White Tiger Empire was undoubtedly in the worst mood. He learned that the one who threw him into the sea to feed the fish back then was the Supreme Palace Master of Dragon Heaven Palace, and what made this person despair was that he was already at the Immortal Lord Realm cultivation before even Ascending. What was particularly terrifying was that this person had also slept with an Immortal Emperor, and that Immortal Emperor was said to have even given birth to a child for him… To seek revenge was now hopeless!

That day, the Four Great Empires all held urgent grand court meetings to discuss the events on Four Symbols Island, and subsequently all wanted to speak with the owner of Four Symbols Island as quickly as possible.

But they were also afraid of being thrown into the sea to feed the fish!

And so, the Four Great Empires, for the first time ever, cooperated and jointly sent visiting invitations.

Long Aotian was also thinking of having a talk with the emperors of the Four Great Empires. After resolving the issues of the Immortal Martial Continent, he was preparing to Ascend, so he naturally agreed to meet the emperors of the Four Great Empires…
