Jiangnan Region, tranquility and calm prevailed. After the Wanbang Council passed the decision, Lu Chenzhou officially assumed the role of High Lamp Holder for Jiangnan Region. Time swept by; half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chenzhou's spirit roamed the Heavenly Heart World. Suddenly, a golden light unfurled, filling the heavens and earth. A magnificent bell resounded, coming from Taiji Palace and Spirit Mountain, echoing throughout his mind.

"3,666 Great Grandmasters, 565 Heavenly Kings. Lu Chenzhou, do your best. Let me see how long it will take you to reach the pinnacle of Heavenly Person, to defeat me..."
He put away the scroll, gazing ahead.
A hoarse, ancient voice sounded in his ear.
