Chapter 1232 367: Great Upheaval in Sky City, the Death of Patriarch Qingtian! (Part 3)
"The major commerce guilds initially intended to wait a bit longer. After all, whether they take over Sky City or not, they need the commerce guilds. At that time, they would just need to maintain order in Sky City, and it could return to its former prosperous state."
"It's just unfortunate that the three supreme ancestor realms are still in confrontation, showing no willingness to cease. The major commerce guilds couldn't hold out any longer and have thus started to withdraw…"
Elder Liu detailed the recent events that transpired in Sky City.
It was indeed very detailed.
Lu Changsheng finally understood the whole story.
He didn't expect such a turn of events.
Even Great Ancestor Qingtian had died.
But, ultimately, this was not due to the three supreme ancestor realms.
The root cause was still in Great Ancestor Qingtian.
Great Ancestor Qingtian was incapable of surviving the Nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation.
This was fundamental!
If he had the ability to survive the Nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation, what could the three supreme ancestor realms do?
Once through the Nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation, Great Ancestor Qingtian's power would have soared.
Would he still fear the three supreme ancestor realms?
Sadly, Great Ancestor Qingtian's strength was lacking, fundamentally unable to overcome the Nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation, leading to the current chaos in Sky City.
Even Great Ancestor Qingtian perished completely.
"Do you know those three supreme ancestor realms, my friend?"
Lu Changsheng asked again.
"They are all famous and illustrious figures. I once heard the chairman mention them; they are Yin Spirit Ancestor, Flying Star Ancestor, and Sword Soul Ancestor."
"These three ancestors have been renowned for years, their strength unfathomable, not inferior to Great Ancestor Qingtian."
"As for why they allied to attack Great Ancestor Qingtian, even leading to his demise, I do not know."
Elder Liu told Lu Changsheng everything he knew without omission.
Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Actually, among supreme ancestor realms, there are no irreconcilable enmities.
Besides, those three supreme ancestor realms probably didn't have deep hatred against Great Ancestor Qingtian.
If there were deep grudges, they would have come for him long ago.
Would they really wait until now?
That would be too forbearing.
It's unrealistic.
All are supreme ancestor realms, who's afraid of whom?
If it's not deep enmity, then there's only one reason.
Interest!
Great Ancestor Qingtian likely had significant interest.
Enough to make these three supreme ancestor realms join forces, leading to Great Ancestor Qingtian's fall.
What kind of interest could make the three supreme ancestor realms ally, even at great cost, to strike at Great Ancestor Qingtian?
Are they not afraid that if Great Ancestor Qingtian survives the tribulation, he'll come back for them?
"May I leave now, Daoist Friend Lu?"
Elder Liu asked cautiously.
The root cause of his cooperation was his fear of Lu Changsheng.
After all, he's no match for Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng could even kill top-tier ancestral realms, let alone him.
"Thank you, Elder Liu. Please go ahead."
Lu Changsheng nodded, not making things difficult for Elder Liu.
He had basically learned all the big news he needed to know.
However, there must be some secrets, unknown to others.
Lu Changsheng carefully sensed the distant Sky City.
He could indeed feel three terrifying auras remaining in Sky City.
They should be the three supreme ancestor realms.
These three supreme ancestor realms have been lingering in Sky City, apparently in confrontation.
No one knows when this deadlock will end.
But Lu Changsheng had no plans to enter Sky City.
Given the current situation, entering rashly could cause trouble.
That could lead to an unwise outcome.
However, leaving right away felt like a pity to Lu Changsheng.
After some thought, Lu Changsheng decided to stay a little further away.
He stayed within the Boundary Sea, closely monitoring the situation in Sky City.
Day by day passed.
Lu Changsheng stayed inside the Water Mansion, and the Water Mansion was in the Boundary Sea.
But every day, Lu Changsheng paid attention to the situation in Sky City.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
Finally, there seemed to be some movement in Sky City.
Two figures transformed into streamers and left Sky City, disappearing without a trace.
A few days later, Sky City shook violently.
It was a sign of Refining.
Then, a strange voice resounded through Sky City and the nearby Boundary Sea.
"I am Sword Soul Ancestor!"
"Great Ancestor Qingtian is dead, Sky City has been refined by me, and from now on, Sky City will return to normal, everything as usual!"
This was the voice of Sword Soul Ancestor.
Lu Changsheng instantly understood.
It seems the competition among the three supreme ancestor realms had reached its conclusion.
In the end, it was Sword Soul Ancestor who triumphed, laughed to the last, completely taking over Sky City, and inherited everything from Great Ancestor Qingtian.
As Sword Soul Ancestor's voice fell, many observing cultivators were delighted.
It finally ended.
Everything in Sky City is as usual, but can it really return to the past?
It would be difficult.
After all, Sky City had suffered significant damage.
However, for many cultivators, this was also an opportunity.
Sky City went through tremendous changes, but isn't this also a reshuffling?
With this opportunity, many individuals or forces can start anew.
As long as they can seize the initiative, their future development in Sky City could be limitless.
Thus, various forces or cultivators began to act.
They all gradually returned to Sky City, starting to compete for territory and expand their influence.
