Two days later, in the hall of Tianyunji, Elder Tianyuan had summoned all the Sunblind tribesmen, and Ye Xiu and Old Liu were simultaneously summoned there.

Elder Tianyuan sat high on the platform, waving a hand, and everyone stood up straight: "Although our Sunblind tribe stands at the apex of the Upper Bound of the Boundless Realm, we should still contribute our strength to the entire Boundless Realm."

Ye Xiu saw everyone nodding and cheering, and he naturally understood Elder Tianyuan's meaning: "Elder Tianyuan wants me to offer up the Three Innate Needles, so that the Sunblind tribe alone can confront Sha Jun Tianxia!"

Elder Potian had already seen the Celestial Needles in Ye Xiu's hand, and he smiled faintly, "Hand over the Celestial Needles just like that?"

"There are conditions, of course!" Ye Xiu looked at Elder Tianyuan, and his condition was clear to everyone present.

"Bring that boy up," Elder Tianyuan was equally straightforward. Trading a prisoner for the Three Innate Needles, which could potentially change the future of the Sunblind tribe, was an excellent deal. "I know your intentions. As long as you are willing, my Sunblind tribe will certainly release him."

Ye Xiu immediately shot a needle toward Elder Tianyuan without hesitation. Although the Three Innate Needles were not as sharp as blades, the straight trajectory pierced Elder Tianyuan's wing. Fortunately, he dodged in time, narrowly avoiding injury from the slender needle.

"Ye Xiu!" Jun Bugu, led by a few others, had already arrived in the hall. He rushed toward Ye Xiu and laughed, "I knew you wouldn't forget about me."

"Can we go now?" Ye Xiu gave Jun Bugu a displeased glance, then turned and brushed past the Birdman, "You've met Sha Jun Tianxia, but don't let him kill you."

The Birdman patted Ye Xiu's shoulder: "A battle against Sha Jun Tianxia within the Sunblind tribe is inevitable. Moreover, the current Sha Jun is merely frozen, and we possess the Three Innate Needles, which are also the power within yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of this fellow," Old Liu gripped Ye Xiu's arm, smiling at the Birdman. "I'd also very much like to visit Mount Sumeru and see the Limitless Dao Master, but this guy never gives one any peace."

"Enough, let's go!" Ye Xiu bid farewell to Elder Tianyuan, turned to leave Tianyunji with Old Liu and Jun Bugu, and said with his back to the crowd, "I hope you succeed."

"No need to see us off!" Elder Tianyuan had already organized absolute military force. For this battle against Sha Jun Tianxia, the Sunblind tribe would mobilize entirely, determined to surround all of Mount Sumeru heavily.

The Birdman escorted the group outside the floating island of the main hall. Watching their retreating backs, he couldn't help but sigh: "If a major upheaval occurs in the Boundless Realm, it will likely bring disaster to the Mortal Realm. By then, no one will be able to stand aloof."

With outsiders gone, the strategy within the Tianyunji hall began. The mobilization toward Mount Sumeru was not simply aimed at Sha Jun Tianxia alone.

Elder Potian devised a plan: although some Sunblind tribesmen were involved on Mount Sumeru, those underlings were merely there to make up the numbers, serving as a nod to the Great Sect Master Jiaye at the time. "Sha Jun Tianxia is not alone; there are also remnants of the Death God lineage with him. This deployment must account for those Death Gods who fled."

"The Dark Death Gods!" Elder Tianyuan already understood the battlefield situation. The one who led Sha Jun into the realm that day was the Death Kingdom's Zhou Wang. "This lineage of Death Gods is not like the Death Kingdom's Ming Wang; their forms are extremely elusive and must be dealt with separately."

Hearing this, the Birdman volunteered: "Elder Tianyuan need not worry. I will lead the men to handle these Death Gods."

"Indeed, everything is to provide Elder Tianyuan with sufficient time to circulate his cultivation." Potian glanced at the slender Celestial Needles, though he harbored a slight doubt: "Is the Witch Woman's word entirely trustworthy?"

"Great Sect Master Jiaye once summoned the Witch Woman; this woman's abilities must be considerable." Elder Tianyuan held up the Celestial Needle, putting this unstable factor aside. "She has no reason to deceive us. I am only pondering what impact it will have on the future structure of the Boundless Realm now that the Witch Woman has taken the owner of the Raging Vein Tianshu."

"Should we inform Jialou Luo about this?" Potian considered further ahead. "Summoning the remaining members of the Bone Sect can both bolster our strength and demonstrate the close relationship between the Sunblind tribe and the Bone Sect."

Elder Tianyuan frowned, thinking carefully. "Jialou Luo's strength cannot be underestimated. This is also a good opportunity to test his sincerity. Very well, you go notify the Bone Sect remnants. We will rendezvous beneath Mount Sumeru in three days."

"Yes!"

As the Birdman was bidding farewell to his master and about to leave for his quarters, Elder Tianyuan unexpectedly found him: "Elder."

"I see you seem quite familiar with that young fellow named Ye Xiu. Why is that?"

The Birdman certainly knew Ye Xiu's identity. To avoid trouble, he could only conceal it: "That cultivator and the Daoist are friends I made in the Mortal Realm; we've shared life and death."

"The Mortal Realm? What is their purpose in coming to the Boundless Realm?" Elder Tianyuan was somewhat suspicious. "I see these two individuals are top-tier experts. Which sect do they belong to?"

"The Ancient Strange Dao, and... the Ksitigarbha Buddha Gate, perhaps." The Birdman’s eyes flickered; any discerning person could tell. He immediately took his leave from the Elder: "If there is nothing else, I must depart. I shall discuss matters further with the Elder after we wipe out Sha Jun Tianxia."

"Mhm, go ahead!" Elder Tianyuan did not force him to stay, but waved his feathers to signal the Birdman to withdraw. "In three days, everything will be concluded. I look forward to the rise of the Sunblind tribe across the continent of the Boundless Realm."

Below the peaks of Glazed Mountain, several giant Mad Wolves paced in circles. Seeing the three figures of Ye Xiu descend, they immediately lunged forward and surrounded them.

Ye Xiu looked at the mad wolves with a sigh: "Even in such a perilous place as the Glazed Mountain Range, it is full of divine beasts. The other continents are likely even worse."

"This is a perfect chance to test my Grand Profound Dao Curse!" Old Liu had long desired to fully unleash his power. At this moment, he plunged the Ghost Slaying Long Sword directly into the earth. After an explosion of energy, several long snakes shot out from the hilt, slithering toward the divine beasts on three sides—"Serpent Form Dao Sword."

"Roar..." The mad wolves were entangled by the long snakes, which instantly transformed into sharp spikes penetrating their bodies. With nowhere to evade, they were directly blasted into powder.

"Ye Xiu, your friend is quite formidable," Jun Bugu watched Old Liu with envy, cautiously touching the Ghost Slaying Dao in Old Liu's hand. "How can a cultivator emit such uncanny power?"

Old Liu finally received praise and couldn't help but smile with his head held high: "This is nothing yet. I haven't even used my full power."

Ye Xiu was naturally happy for Old Liu, but he was more concerned about Jun Bugu's condition: "Your skill is more than enough to deal with these divine beasts. Haven't you felt the changes in your body? What about your Maple Sword techniques?"
