Transcript [EN]: Exiled to the Imperial Tombs, I Unleashed My Path to Invincibility by Touching Corpses.

transformed into the neglected sixth Prince I found myself framed by my betro leading to the defilement of the illustrious daughter of the chilin sect and subsequently relegated to guard the Imperial tomes serendipitously Awakening to the power that arises from touching corpses I soon emerged as the true old six from the body of the first emperor I extracted the millennial Dragon Aura from the Marshall Emperor I acquired the nine turns Golden Dragon technique and from the empress I gleaned distant Secrets as I delved deeper I discovered within the deepest recesses of the Imperial Tomb an exquisite beauty lay in tuned her physical form remarkably preserved even after 10 Millennia while exploring her captivating form I Unearthed unparalleled Treasures such as the 10,000-year demon Pearl The Immortal artifact of extermination and the Seven colored demon feathers remarkably with my arrival this breathtaking Beauty awoke how smooth how tender still slightly intoxicated I Wong tion was suddenly jolted away by a strangely delightful sensation emanating from my hand instinctively lowering my gaze I was taken back to find my hand grasping a fair shapely thigh startled I withdrew my hand hastily what is happening who is this woman how did I end up in bed with her I smacked my head in an attempt to recollect the events of the previous night it had been my father's Grand 60th birthday celebration with numerous dignitaries and martial artists gathered at the palace to commemorate the occasion as the sixth Prince I was naturally among the invitees alongside my fiance suchin the daughter of the Prime Minister known as one of the four Great beauties of the capital from what I recall I was drinking with suchen and the Prime Minister but I only had a couple of Cups before becoming slightly inebriated how did I wake up here I shook my head my eyes subconsciously drifting toward the woman on the bed she was undeniably stunning a beauty that could truly be described as AK kin to that of a fish diving and a swan Al lighting yet her disheveled State revealed much of her fair skin sprawled across the bed leaving her enchanting curves fully exposed after studying her features for a moment a sudden wave of dread washed over me isn't that yinu I realized with horror that she was the daughter of the head of the chilin sect not only renowned for her beauty but also celebrated for her literary talents often referred to in the Marshall world as the chilin maiden if the leader of the chilin sect were to discover that I had shared such a compromising situation with his daughter my skin would surely be at risk just then an unexpected soft murmur interrupted my frantic thoughts yunju stirred rubbing her groggy head her enchanting eyes fluttering open to find me lying barechested beside her a shrill scream escaped her lips as she jolted to complete awareness only to realize her own dishevel attire plunging her deeper into Terror in a flurry she snatched a blanket from the bed and wrapped it tightly around her alluring body her delicate face reflecting sheer Panic your highness what have you done to me tears welled in her eyes as she recoiled fear and helplessness luminously apparent yinu please don't cry I'm just as bewildered as you I was intoxicated last night and I awoke here confusion clouded my mind though a nagging sense of something amiss tugged at my conscience no sooner had I managed to gather my thoughts then the door was kicked open a group barging in with commanding presence you wretched son you have truly disappointed me my father Wong Jun glared fiercely at me flanked by the fourth Prince Wong Hong the Minister sujan Nan and my fiance suchin they bore expressions of knowing Amusement as if they had long anticipated what was unfolding within your highness we are set to marry in two days how could you act in this manner and still have the audacity to face me suen cried out in despair her voice steeped in grievance as she struggled to summon a few tears father suen please allow me to explain won instinctively sought to clarify but was abruptly silenced by his father Wong Jun no need for expl ations you are like mud that cannot be molded you are truly worthless from this day forth you shall vacate the West Palace have all princely privileges revoked and guard the Imperial melum without my edict you will remain there for the rest of your days Wong jeun bellowed in Wrath Wong tion the sixth Prince had already been a figure of disfavor and now he faced utter abandonment the fourth Prince Wong Hong and suen exchanged knowing glances a hint of Triumph flickering between them as if their scheme had borne fruit seeing this prime minister Sue Janan seized the opportunity to step forward your majesty given the Reckless actions of the sixth Prince the marriage between him and Shiner can no longer proceed I beseech you to anull the engagement upon hearing the proposal to anull the engagement Wong tion suddenly grasped the truth had been ens snared by those he trusted most no wonder he had only needed to drink a couple of glasses last night before succumbing to inebriation suchin suenan you are pursuing the dissolution of the engagement of my expense why involve others in your schemes Wong tition replied coldly in truth Wong tition had long suspected that suen and Su Janan looked down upon him as the most inconsequential of princes their agreement to the marriage had merely been an act of compliance with the emperor's wishes should he commit an act of folly his father would likely anull the engagement out of deference to the prime minister's status your highness I know not of what you speak it was your actions that wrong my daughter how dare you cast blame Upon Us Su Janan retorted sham ly your majesty Please Stand By Me suen lamented her Fain sorrow reaching a crescendo as if she had suffered an unimaginable Injustice the emperor Wong xun wore a severe expression were she the daughter of a common family he would hardly be concerned after all what of a royal son's diance with a woman before marriage yet suchin was the daughter of the Prime Minister whose influence stretched beyond the court in a powerful circles should he offend the Prime Minister it could send Tremors throughout the realm despite being an emperor Emperor undermined by injury Wong xun understood the necessity of careful judgment then let it be as the Prime Minister advises and null the engagement between TI and suan although he sens there was more to the matter than met the eye he furrowed his brow and took the course of action that seemed most prudent a son of meager Talent without connections against a prime minister with vast power this was a choice the injured Emperor felt compelled to make your majesty is wise with the engagement finally rescinded both Su Janan and suen exchange concealed Smiles their Joy tempered by a Fain demeanor of restraint the fourth Prince observing their reaction quietly reveled in the development with the prime minister's daughter no longer betrothed he saw an opening to claim suin as one of his own thereby augmenting his own claim to the throne in that moment Wong tion gained a clearer understanding of the cunning that lay within prime minister suenan it was evident they had sought to rid themselves of him whom they deemed a useless Prince without directly offending the Emperor going to the Imperial melum would mean his complete abandonment there had been princes in the history of the dean Kingdom who had been exiled to the melum and none had returned all perishing with no one to tend to their remains Wong tion 2 was likely destined for such a dismal fate yet at that instant a Celestial voice reverberated in his mind ding the body touching system has been successfully bound as long as the host touches a corpse They will receive corresponding rewards the higher the level of the corpse the greater the rewards reaped touching corpses to gain strength how fortuitous for he was to guard the melum housing all the Emperors of thean it contained at least a hundred such figures including unparalleled sovereigns from history as the lowliest of the nine princes whose mother was a palace maid Wong tion had always felt like the most neglected but now with the ascent provided by this system he felt a Resurgence of confidence soon after two guards entered clasping their fists in greeting your please his majesty summons you to the melum immediately this time Wong tion offered no further protest or resistance he dawned his garments swiftly filled with eagerness to test the system before leaving he cast a final glance at suen Su Janan and the fourth Prince Wong Hong committing their self-satisfied expressions to memory one day he would repay today's humiliation tfold his gaze ultimately rested on the beautiful young woman trembling with fear on his bed a of guilt washed over him as he thought of the Kieran Maiden unwittingly involved in this deception were it not for the schemes aimed at him yunen would not have been rendered unconscious and left in his bed regardless of whether anything untour transpired last night her innocence was now tarnished by his presence in time once he achieved greatness he would find a way to make amends chapter 2 the enigmatic beauty of the corpse in the depths of the Imperial Tomb the Imperial Tomb is situated in the northern outskirts of the capital an area desolated and sparsely populated yet it occupies an expansive expanse constructed with magnificent Grandeur upon being escorted to the tomb wongon found himself in awe of its imposing and Barren presence the tomb stretched out before him sprawling over an area comparable to half of the capital itself with numerous opulently adorned melum Standing Tall rough estimate suggesting there were at least H hundred of them however amidst such vastness the tomb appeared eerily desolate with only a frail elderly man leaning on a cane emerging from the Shadows this is a sacred ground I must request that idle folk depart the old man in toned his hunched back and clouded eyes betraying his age though his voice carried a sharpness that suggested he would not hesitate to act violently should Wong tion dare to advance further I am Wong tion the sixth Prince sent by my father to guard the Imperial Tomb Wong tion declared respectfully bowing slightly the presence of such a formidable figure implied a strength that was far from trivial the prince has come to guard the tomb the old man paused for a moment then a note of sympathy crept into his voice you two are a pitiful Soul abandoned here come in from the old mank words Wong tion sensed a shared fate of Abandonment although the specifics of his identity remained shrouded in mystery are you also a guardian of the Tomb wongon inquired eagerly quickening his Pace to follow the Old Man simply call me La fuzy refrain from inquiring further the old man replied cooly guid wangon into a modest dwelling against the wall of the Tomb from now on this will be your residence you will need to procure your own sustenance wongon instinctively surveyed the small room which contained nothing but a wooden bed devoid of even a blanket and covered in a thick layer of dust he had anticipated the hardships of guarding the tomb but this level of deprivation was beyond his imagination it was no wonder that none of the previous Guardians had survived to tell the tale La fuzi what tasks are required of me as a guardian Wong tion turned to the old man eager to find an opportunity to touch the emperor's corpse and thus sought to clarify the scope of his responsibilities considering you have been relegated to the tomb what tasks could there possibly be if you wish to show some sincerity tend to the weeds around the mosum after all they are your ancestors too clearing the graves of your forbears can be seen as an act of filial piety La foozy rasped upon hearing that he could clear the weeds around the melum Wong tion's eyes gleamed with excitement this was indeed a fortuitous chance to come into contact with the corpses I would be most delighted to tend to my ancestors Graves may I begin at once he asked tentatively Lao fuzi was taken aback by Wong tion's enthusiasm silently marveling at the prince's filial devotion even in such dire circumstances since you display such filial piety I shall take you to visit the various melum of the Imperial Tomb with that Lao fuzi turned and led the way and Wong tion eagerly followed under Lao Fu's guidance he experienced the Grandeur and opulence of the Imperial Tomb up close within the tomb lay the remains of 108 Emperors of the great Chen Dynasty each possessing their own melum the size of which varied according to their merits and strengths Lao fuzi elaborated as he walked detailing each structure each melum housed not only the emperor's tomb but also that of the empress and accompanying burials Wong tion nodded along aware that as a prince he understood the ancient custom of accompanying burials that persisted within the great Chen dasty whereby many individuals would be interred alongside the emperor upon his death La fuzi may I enter the mums to pay my respects to my ancestors wongon inquired testing the waters further the melum are categorized into six tiers based on the emperor's achievements and capabilities generally the melum of child Emperors are white and bear no restrictions allowing free access Lao fuzi explained gesturing towards several white melum child Emperors typically referred to those who died before the age of 14 possessing little power or achievement due to their untimely demise Wong tion observed that the white melum were quite small scarcely deserving the title more akin to Mere Graves the mums of inept monarchs are Gray featuring dragon energy restrictions however as a member of the Royal bloodline you may enter freely once you reach the eighth tier of strength Lao fuzi continued wangon momentarily froze astonished by the existence of restrictions on the melum which inadvertently complicated his design to touch the corpses currently at the ninth tier with the systems assistance attaining the eighth tier would not be an insurmountable challenge the melum of moderately capable Emperors are yellow the most numerous within the tomb and once you achieve the seventh tier or higher you may enter freely Lao fuzi paused before continuing the melum of accomplished Emperors are blue similarly restricted by dragon energy access is granted to those who reach the sixth tier Wong tion nodded but a flicker of confusion arose within him la fuzi are all the restrictions on the mums related to dragon energy dragon energy belongs exclusively to the descendants of the great Chen Dynasty it can be said to be the most valuable Legacy bestowed by the first emperor upon his progeny and it is the key to the endurance of the great Chen Dynasty for 10,000 years La fuzi affirmed indeed the imposition of dragon energy restrictions upon each melum serves a significant purpose La fuzi did not elaborate further on the nature of the dragon energy restrictions and Wong tion chose not to press for more information deeper within the tomb lie the melum of the revered Emperors the Marshall Emperor the literary Emperor the Glorious Marshall Emperor and others each interred in this Hallowed Ground including the sole female emperor of the great Chen Dynasty each of them possessed extraordinary powers and immense will hence their melum are Crimson in Hue perhaps if your dragon energy reaches the third tier you might attempt to enter Lao fuzi said as he continued to lead wangon further into the depths of the Tomb as wangon gave gazed into the depths of the Tomb he quickly spotted six grand Crimson melum their imposing stature emanating a powerful sense of Oppression even from a distance these revered Emperors who had subdued countless Masters in life exuded an aura of strength even in death truly these Emperors are formidable the mere presence of their melum leaves me breathless wongon thought summoning a fraction of his limited dragon energy to alleviate the pressure he glanced at Lao fuzi who seemed entirely phased by the oppressive Aura emanating from the revered Emperors his breathing remaining steadied it was evident that Lao fuzi possessed formidable strength Beyond this point lies the golden Imperial melum of the first emperor for only his tomb is worthy of such a title within this Imperial Tomb with accompanying Graves numbering in the tens of thousands Lao Fu's gaze turned reverently towards the innermost recesses of the Tomb his murky eyes filled with profound respect Wong tion understood the old man's admiration the first Emperor's prowess was legendary having subdued all Masters across the tonan continent and ultimately establishing the vast great Shen Empire even a millennium later the great Chen Dynasty Remains the most formidable Empire on the tonan continent La fuzi what level of strength is required to enter the first Emperor's melum Wong tion could not suppress his curiosity according to the systems regulations the higher the level of the corpse one touches the more substantial the rewards if he could manage to touch the first Emperor's body the rewards would undoubtedly be immense Wong tion's eyes sparkled with anticipation but Lao fuzi swiftly dowed his hopes too enter the first Emperor's melum your dragon energy must reach the first tier and you must also gain the acknowledgement of the first Emperor's dragon soul both conditions are indispensable such stringent conditions and I must also gain the dragon souls acknowledgement Wong tion gasped realizing the enormity of the challenge across the entire tonen continent perhaps only a thousand individuals reach the first tier within the great Shen Dynasty among its hundreds of millions of inhabitants merely five or 600 had achieved that level underscoring the difficulty of advancement to the first tier furthermore gaining the dragon souls acknowledgement was an even greater challenge it was said that only those six revered Emperors had ever received the first Emperor's dragon souls recognition each becoming a topmaster on the tonin continent and a revered Sovereign of the great Chen Dynasty as Wang tion followed La fuzi for a considerable distance he struggled against the oppressive Aura of the first emperor before finally arriving before the golden melum however what captured Wong tion's attention was not the mum's Grandeur but rather the pitch black Palace that loomed behind it why is there another melum behind the first Emperor's melum Wong tion wondered aloud curiosity etched across his face as his gaze fell upon this dark structure he found it impossible to look away as if some unseen Force within beckoned him this melum was shrouded in Miss history with no knowledge of who lay within or when it had appeared no one could enter and it was said that even revered Emperors had attempted to breach its threshold only to be repelled by an immense Force Lao fuzi frowned and spoke in a low tone not even Emperors of the revered rank can enter this is indeed peculiar yet for some reason I feel as though a voice within is calling to me I must take a look wongon declared his curiosity ignited the sensation of being summoned was undeniably intriguing and he strowed past the first Emperor's melum determinately approaching the enigmatic black structure you will find no purpose in going Lao fuzi remarked shaking his head in resignation at Wong tion's unwavering determination upon reaching the entrance Wong tion was astonished to discover that the melum emanated a dark Aura swirling like smoke or Mist reminiscent of malevolent energy yet it posed no harm to the surroundings an enigma indeed who could be interred within why do I feel such a connection to this place Wong tion pondered furrowing his brow taking a deep breath he stepped forward into the darkness not far behind La fuzi observed Wang tion's approach towards the black Palace choosing not to dissuade him for he understood that wongon was destined to be unable to enter in the past he had harbored curiosity about this Seiler even attempting to gain entry yet he had never succeeded with Wong tion's prowess only at the ninth rank it seemed even less likely that he could breach its confines how however to his utter astonishment Wong tion managed to enter with remarkable ease without the anticipated strange energy casting him out how could this be he simply walked in the Aged face of the old master was a portrait of shock to confirm that he was not mistaken he leapt directly to the entrance observing Wong tion's retreating figure the old Master lifted his foot to follow only to be repelled by an enigmatic Force the overwhelming energy knocked the old man to the ground causing his blood to Surge violently this was the first time he found himself intrigued by Wong tion if even the holy Monarch could not enter yet this boy did he must be extraordinary indeed after Wong tion successfully penetrated the Seiler the grand doors closed instantly behind him surveying his surroundings he discovered that the entire Hall contained only a chilling ice bed upon which lay a breathtakingly beautiful woman clad in a black gown was this Seiler dedicated solely to her Wong tion cautiously approached the exquisite corpse wary of the potential harm from the energy surrounding her fortunately the alluring corpse emitted no energy allowing him to draw near safely as he got closer he was astonished to find that the corpse showed no signs of Decay her skin was indistinguishable from that of a living person save for the absence of breath upon clearly seeing the features of the stunning corpse his expression shifted dramatically how could this be how could it possibly be her chapter 3 whose touch was that the thousand-year-old corpse lying on the ice bed bore an uncanny resemblance to yunio even sharing the same physique how could this not astonish Wong tion how could it be this ancient corpse looked strikingly identical to yunio as if it were a mere copy Wong tion was rendered speechless by the profound shock how could two individuals be so alike in this world had he not seen yunio just that morning he might have suspected that the corpse on the ice bed was indeed her straining to observe more closely he leaned in but the frigid air emanating from the ice bed assaulted him causing his body to stiffen hastily he summoned the scant dragon energy within him to combat the ancient chill yet it proved insufficient reluctantly he stepped back several Paces distancing himself from the Millennium old corpse allowing himself to breathe a little easier were it not for his own eyes witnessing this he would scarcely believe it to be true after regaining his composure wangon expelled the invasive cold energy from his body this endeavor consumed a considerable amount of his time and energy highlighting just how formidable the ancient chill was it was so domineering that it not only rendered his body rigid but also slowed the flow of his dragon energy Wong tion began to take the ancient chill surrounding the corpse seriously had he not cultivated dragon energy the most young Essence in existence he might have perished right then and there from that singular encounter with the chill once he had restored his body to Optimal condition he redirected his Focus back to the ancient corpse regardless of its resemblance to shio his priority was to acquire any rewards it might yield Wong tion's mind raced with possibilities this ancient corpse clearly exuded a high level of quality and he should be able to procure some Exquisite Treasures from her however the Millennium old chill beneath her posed a significant concern with his current strength he could afford to make contact with the corpse for no more than a second any longer and he risked being frozen in place by the ancient cold he deliberated this in his mind he had only one fleeting opportunity should he exceed a second of contact he would become ens snared by the chilling force it was an extremely perilous situation yet the opportunity lay before him how could he let it slip away a gamble worth taking wongon swiftly made his decision channeling all of his dragon energy and with lightning speed he charged towards the ancient corpse extending his hand he paid no heed to where he touched as it was a corpse there would be no objections to his exploration I am the dead of night within a certain chamber of the back Courtyard of chilin Pavilion a piercing scream shattered the Tranquil Darkness yunio jolted awake from her Slumber sitting upright in bed gasping for breath her delicate face unusually pale beads of sweat dotting her forehead and a faint Dark Mist emanating from her do shower what troubles you the Ethereal figure of Yun jongi hurriedly entered through the door father I am fine I merely had that dream again yunio sat on the edge of the bed still shaken her petite form trembling as though though she were cold a chill emanating from her very Soul yet it was only September the Autumn air crisp and invigorating how could she possibly be so cold with me here you shall not come to harm Yun jongi filled with concern draped a fur blanket over yunio and Infused her with some of his true energy even so yunio continued to shiver uncontrollably the delicate Frost forming upon her finely arched brows this sight filled Yun jongi with both anguish and helplessness once again it was a full moon night and his daughter had succumbed to her Affliction this ailment had persisted since yuno's birth every full moon she would dream the same dream her body succumbing to an icy grip with Dark Mist rising from within her despite being a third rank master and the chilin Pavilion being a renowned sect Yun jongi had sought out numerous renowned Physicians yet none could provide a remedy resigned he had given up hope father I feeling better now please do not worry too much yunio tightly wrapped herself in the blanket exerting her true energy to combat the chill within her once she felt a bit more at ease she seemed to recall something and turn to Yun jongi oh Father it seems that this time there was something different in my dream having experienced this dream for 18 years it was her first encounter with a variation prompting her to seek her father's Insight oh what was different this time you and Jung's face was filled with concern he had longed to cure his daughter's ailment and now that she had encountered a different dream he was eager to discern any potential breakthrough this time it felt as though someone was watching me in the dream and they even touched me as she spoke yunio glanced down at her own ample bosom realizing that the hand in her dream had seemingly brushed against that very area though it was a mere fleeting touch it was in a highly sensitive region for any girl leaving her feeling both embarrassed and indignant I in the dream someone was watching you and even touched you Yun jongi furrowed his brow how could such a peculiar phenomenon occur naturally he could not believe that someone had truly molested his daughter in a dream instead his thoughts drifted back to the events of the day upon learning that his daughter had been accosted by the sixth Prince after she left the palace that morning he felt an overwhelming urge to draw his sword and take revenge however after hearing his daughter's account he sensed that it was likely a scheme orchestrated by the Prime Minister regardless of whether any physical relationship had occurred the fact that his daughter had been caught in such a compromising situation meant her Purity was irrevocably tarnished daytime disturbances lead to nightmarish dreams experiencing harassment during the day and then dreaming of being touched at night was quite plausible it was entirely possible that the figure in her dream was indeed the sixth Prince this was a normal stress response cheer fret not your father shall seek Justice for you and no matter who it may be I will ensure they pay for their actions Yun jongi clenched his fists in Anger how could he as a father remain passive while his beloved daughters p was destroyed by such treachery father the sixth Prince was also a victim of deception and he has since been exiled to the Royal melum yino was concerned about her father's potential retribution against wangon this was not an attempt to absolve wangon but rather a worry for her father and the chilin Pavilion yunio was not only gifted with talent but also possessed considerable wisdom although the sixth Prince was not favored he was still a royal if a martial artist were to confront a prince the consequences could be dire amounting to a provocation of Royal Authority should the emperor be angered the entire chilin Pavilion would suffer the consequences rest assured I am not so foolish this entire incident is the mination of the powerful Minister suenan who has long sought to assimilate our chilin Pavilion I have steadfastly refused his advances and this attack on you is likely a warning should I continue to refuse I can only expect a tempest of trouble ahead but I shall not yield to this power hungry Minister Yun jong's fists tightened a flicker of anger and determination igniting in his eyes within the darkest recesses of the royal melum the cold energy peaked the moment wangon touched the corpse sending a shiver through his very Soul fortunately he retracted his hand in time otherwise he would have been frozen in place ding congratulations host you have touched a top grade Heavenly corpse and received chapter 4 transforming into the sixth ding congratulations host you have touched a top grade Heavenly corpse and acquired the Excalibur of a mortal slang now stored in the system space before the systems voice had even faded wongon erupted with excitement he never anticipated that his first encounter with the corpse would yield the Heavenly treasure the Excalibur of immortal slang this was a legendary sword capable of annihilating an entire city. in the tonen continent Treasures were generally classified into four Gres Heaven Earth Shen and yellow with Heavenly being the highest and yellow the lowest the Excalibur of immortal slanging was a top grade Heavenly treasure a gem among jewels that would inight a frenzy among experts if it were to be unveiled having acquired such an extraordinary artifact from his first encounter with the corpse Wong tion wondered what Treasures awaited him if he were to repeat the experience his gaze returned to the stunning corpse his eyes gradually Ablaze with desire to Wang tion this was no longer merely a corpse it was a vast treasury waiting to be plundered however he had not savored his joy for long when the door of the black melum was forcefully flung open once more a tremendous surge of energy erupted from the Exquisite female corpse sending wongon hurtling out of the mosum after being thrust a dozen meters away by the energy wongon landed on the ground covered in mud and in a disheveled State the old master who had been waiting outside swiftly leaped to his side upon witnessing wongon being expelled by the strange energy are you all right young man what did you see inside the old Master s murky eyes were filled with intense curiosity having guarded the Royal melum for decades he had never been able to enter this black melum naturally making him eager to know what lay within there was nothing inside just an overwhelming chill I took a look around and was then ejected by the energy wongon replied as he struggled to rise from the ground brushing the dirt off himself this was their first encounter and being unfamiliar with each other wongon was unwilling to reveal the truth about what he had experienced especially since it pertained to his own secret just a chill the old Master s blury gaze fixed intently on wongon as if trying to see through him indeed I was also assaulted by the cold if I had stayed in there any longer I might have perished wongon explained while channeling his internal dragon energy to gradually expel The Chill from his body the cold had invaded him when he had touched the millennial old corpse and in his excitement over acquiring the juusen sword he had forgotten to dispel the chill immediately seeing the cold actually being forced out of Wong tion's body the old Master believed him to some extent and then suddenly slapped Wong tion's chest Wong tion had thought the old man was about to launch a surprise attack but to his astonishment a robust stream of true energy surged into his body instantly expelling the chill with the cold no longer afflicting him Wong tion felt considerably better his complexion brightening thank you old Master he expressed his gratitude promptly it was but a trivial matter now tell me how did you manage to enter just now the old master was not one to help without reason as he sought to extract information from wongon I am not quite sure how I got in it was as if some supernal Force guided me wongon replied half truthfully do in reality he was just as bewildered about how he had entered and why he had been expelled feeling somewhat dazed by the entire experience try going in again the old Master suggested furrowing his brow eager for wongon to attempt it once more wongon himself was curious to try again thinking of the Exquisite female corpse within pondering that with more attempts he might uncover other extraordinary Treasures then I shall give it another try he resolved taking a deep breath before stepping towards the black melum yet this time he was once again flung out by the enigmatic energy Landing painfully on the ground feeling his blood surge uncomfortably ouch Wong tion groaned rubbing his backside as he got back to his feet while the old Master contemplated the situation previously entering had been effortless why was it now impossible had he misjudged this young man the old Master pondered deeply unable to unravel the mystery Wong tion was equally perplexed how could he have entered before but not now as Don approached the old Master noted you've been awake all night you should return to rest I too must take my leave if you have matters to discuss seek me out at the wooden house to the east of the royal melum with that the old Master departed swiftly as the first light of day began to break Wong tion hurried back to examine the juusen sword in his system space quickly making his exit Upon returning to his humble abode Wong tion did not immediately retrieve the juian sword instead he waited until he was certain the old Master had not followed him before cautiously taking the sword out from his system space the moment the juen sword was revealed the entire small room filled with its sword Aura startling wongon into quickly retracting the energy once the aura was subdued he focused his Gaze on the sword scrutinizing it carefully the juen sword measured 3 feet in length and 3 in in width its blade a brilliant silver dazzling as sunlight it was dual edged capable of severing hair and slicing through flesh and faintly emanated a sword Aura upon closer inspection he noticed that the blade was inscribed with runes though he was unclear about their specific functions truly the juusen sword was a Celestial weapon it did not require deliberate control to unleash its sword energy Wong tion held the juusen sword in his hand growing in increasingly enamored with it yet a sense of regret washed over him alas my strength is still too feeble to fully wield this sword I cannot unleash its full potential he resolved to find a way to swiftly enhance his power with a decision made wongon did not rest but opened his door intending to seek out another corpse to examine the black melum was inaccessible and with his ninth grade strength he could only enter the most basic tombs after careful consideration he realized that the only tomb within the Royal melum that did not impose a dragon energy restriction was that of the young Emperor other melum were all protected by such energy Wong tion frowned pondering the likelihood of discovering any Treasures from a corpse of the young Emperor's caliber suddenly a thought struck him and his eyes brightened indeed in the history of Dien there was a 10-year-old Prodigy young Emperor said to possess a dragon bone and golden dragon energy much like the first emperor unfortunately he was assassinated after ruling for just a year due to his overwhelming talent and his dragon bone was taken that was it though his dragon bone had been removed his corpse would surely be of a higher quality than other young Emperors with this in mind Wong tion once again ventured into the Royal melum the young Emperor's tomb was white and quite small there were eight white tombs in total within the Royal melum making it relatively simple for Wong tion to locate the tomb of this prodigious young Emperor after inspecting all eight white tombs one by one Wong tion finally came to a halt in front of one Mark shei Emperor this Tye was the postumus name of the young Emperor and it was undeniable that apart from the first emperor he was the most gifted individual in a millennium of the daian dynasty tragically cut down in his prime it is indeed a Pity had he been given a few more years to mature he could have elevated the Duan Dynasty to new heights wongon sighed inwardly then bowed respectfully to the tomb fear not my beloved and Charming ancestor I have come to tend to your grave with that he pushed open the door of the melum and stepped inside a te that moment wongon transformed into a seeker of his ancestors remains upon entering the tomb he immediately beheld a bronze coffin lying horizontally in the center ancestor I have come to see you he said placing his palms together in reverence towards the coffin his heart racing with anticipation as he placed his hands on the coffin lid to touch the corpse he would need to open the coffin but it was tightly sealed with nails and bore the Royal Dragon emblem making it impossible for Wong tion to open with his current ninth grade strength he exerted all his might yet the lid remained unmoved indeed the coffin of my ancestor is not easy to open this is a tomb of the young Emperor and the coffins of other ancestors must be even more difficult leaning against the bronze coffin to catch his breath an idea suddenly struck him I have the juian sword why not give it a try without hesitation Wong tion retrieved the juian sword from his system space the sword was sharp enough to sever hair and skin and even the strongest Nails on the bronze coffin fell away under its Edge success Wong tion's heart soared as he saw the nails on the coffin being sliced away one by one however at that moment the dragon emblem on the coffin suddenly emitted a beam of White Energy directed at him this was the protective energy of the emperor's coffin designed to deter tomb Raiders the speed was too Swift and the distance Too Close Wong tion had no time to react fortunately the sword Aura emitted by the juian sword shattered the incoming dragon energy ensuring his safety the entire sequence unfolded in the blink of an eye gasping for breath Wong tion trembled slightly realizing that had it not been for the juian sword he would have met his demise in that instant that was close if not for the juian sword I would have been done for after taking several deep breaths to regain his composure he thought opening the emperor's coffin is indeed no simple task but it should be safe now with the juusen sword firmly in hand Wong tion slowly pushed against the coffin lid remaining Vigilant against another potential attack from the dragon energy without the nails restraining it the lid finally began to shift this time he was not met with another attack from the dragon energy as he exerted Force to push the lid open a heavy stench of Decay wafted from within the coffin the foul odor nearly caused wangon to choke but he quickly channeled his dragon energy to block the noxious smell feeling somewhat relieved for the sake of my ancestor I am willing to endure this holding his breath wongon leaned forward to peer inside the coffin where he beheld a small white skeleton lying within point one of its vertebrae was missing undoubtedly the dragon bone that had been removed poror she Emperor had you been granted a few more years to grow you might have become the second first emperor Wong ton side in sympathy then reached out towards the white skeleton let me fulfill your unachieved aspirations dear ancestor D I pray for a bountiful reward from your remains s he silently prayed his hand made contact with the young Emperor es bones ding congratulations to the host for touching a ground level corpse you have received chapter 5 young Master would you like to wash together with me depending on the strength of the deceased in life their corpses are categorized after death into different ranks Heaven Earth shien and hang with Heaven being the highest and hang the lowest the corpse of this 10-year-old young Emperor was unexpectedly classified as Earth level which greatly astonished wongon yet even more delightful surprises awaited him ding congratulations host you have encountered a terrestrial great corpse and obtained a dragon bone as the systems voice faded Wong tion felt a surge of excitement could it be true the ancestral dragon bone had already been excavated yet I still stumbled upon a terrestrial treasure Wong tion's face was a canvas of disbelief too confirmed he had not misheard he promptly checked the system space and indeed there lay a golden dragon bone truly he had found a dragon bone such ordinary Fortune was beyond comprehension ecstasy overwhelmed Wong tion with this dragon bone his mediocre Talent could be transformed ancestor you are indeed both adorable and Charming with eager anticipation Wong tion retrieved the golden dragon bone from the system space and instantly the small tomb was suffused with a rich Aura of dragon energy how potent the dragon energy is could this be the power of the dragon bone merely by holding the bone the dragon energy within him surged wildly operating at a speed surpassing his own cultivation this exhilarated Wong tion even more due to his mediocre talent and lack of background wongon had always been looked down upon since childhood and had suffered many disdainful glances I in both the Marshal world and the Imperial Court none chose to follow him despite being a prince he felt as transparent as glass to the extent that even his fiance he sought every means to anull their engagement with this dragon bone I can alter my unimpressive talent a glimmer of determination sparkled in Wong tion's eyes today marks the day of Destiny's reversal after a considerable time Wong tion's emotions finally settled and his gaze shifted back to the young Emperor's remains that I wonder if one can extract rewards from the same corpse twice having already obtained a dragon bone on the first attempt the reward for a second must surely be significant with this thought Wong tion stored the dragon bone away and reached out once more to touch the young Emperor's bones however this time he felt nothing which left him somewhat disappointed I is it possible that a single corpse yields only one reward Wong tion furrowed his brows and promptly inquired of the system system can one only extract a reward from a single corpse once the bodies below the Heavenly grade can only be touched once however those at or above the Heavenly grade including Heavenly grade corpses can be touched multiple times the system explains succinctly Wong tion nodded in understanding thus most Imperial corpses in the Royal melum could only be touched once while only the six holy monarchs the first emperor and the 10,000-year-old female corpse could be touched repeatedly since I can only touch once lingering here serves no purpose after replacing the coffin lid over the young Emperor Wong tion bowed once more to honor the young Emperor before quietly retreating Upon returning to his modest Abode Wong tion promptly sat cross-legged on the wooden plank bed and retrieved the dragon bone from the system space only by integrating the dragon bone into himself could its true power realized holding the dragon bone his gaze grew Resolute he no longer wished to remain a waste the fusion of the dragon bone would entail excruciating pain a burden that most could scarcely endure yet Wong tion had made up his mind having been relegated to the Royal melum he had no choice but to fight for his Survival game on Wong tion's eyes Shone with unwavering resolve whether he could transform from waste to genius hinged entirely on this moment with determination solidified tion settled into a meditative posture placing the dragon bone before him he then summoned all the dragon energy within him to refine the dragon bone the process of refining the dragon bone was incredibly timec consuming especially as Wong tion was merely at the ninth tier fortunately time was on his side as the dragon energy flowed continuously the dragon bone gradually became refined ultimately transforming into a golden light that penetrated Wong tion's body dot at the instant the dragon bone entered Wong tion's being a sudden transformation occurred in one of the bones along his spine and a wave of intense pain swept through him Wong tion gritted his teeth in anguish beads of sweat forming on his forehead his complexion paling significantly the pain was Indescribable rendering him nearly incapable of standing yet Wong tion did not yield he focused his willpower to remain conscious and continued to merge the dragon bone with his dragon energy as time passed the dragon bone was finally integrated into his spine as if it had come to life willingly merging with Wong tion's spine simultaneously a rich flow of dragon energy poured forth from the dragon bone cascading throughout his body as his body soaked in the dragon energy it began to undergo severe changes blood circulation accelerated his heartbeat quickened and the dragon energy surged flowing vigorously through his meridians at this moment W tion's pain had lessened but his body felt as if countless ants were gnawing at him creating an unbearable sensation gradually black filth seeped from his Skin's pores and a foul odor filled the small dilapidated room Wong tion endured the torment knowing that the dragon bone was remodeling his body he understood that if he could withstand this period he would emerge transformed meanwhile In the Hall of the prime minister's residence the fourth Prince Wong Hong prime minister suenan and suchin were celebrating with wine prime minister sue your Brilliance is unmatched with a single move you banished the sixth Prince to the Royal melum and even prompted the emperor to anull the marriage I rais my glass to you the fourth Prince raised a cup of wine smiling as he toasted to sujan Nan Your Highness my father's scheme not only eliminated that waste but also sent a clear message to the chilin Pavilion suchin replied with a charming smile the deception that led yunju to wangonk bed was entirely orchestrated by su Janan with suchin as the executing agent. it seemed prime minister Sue had indeed achieved a remarkable two-fold success as realization dawned upon the fourth Prince his admiration for Sue Jinan deepened and he poured another cup of wine to toast him speaking of which The chilin Pavilion truly deserves a reprimand they are far too ungrateful if we could seize this opportunity to bring them under our control it would be Splendid The chilin Pavilion was renowned across the tonin continent for its intelligence having ranked Weaponry Masters sex and more if they were brought under their wing acquiring any intelligence in the future would become effortless indeed after this reprimand I believe that fellow Yun jongi will behave more obediently if he still refuses to submit to us we shall have no choice but to resort to force a glimmer of ruthlessness flickered in sujan Nan's eyes the fourth Prince nodded in agreement the battle for the throne had already commenced whoever could bring the chilin Pavilion under their command would significantly enhance their chances of ascending to the throne by the way prime minister should we discreetly eliminate that useless sixth Prince to prevent future retaliation against us Wong Hong asked a hint of concern in his voice the waste banished to the Royal melum poses no threat even if given a thousand years he would never find the opportunity to retaliate against us moreover who knows if he will survive this month the vicinity of the royal melum is Rife with mountain demons even a single one could drain him of his Essence suenan dismissed the concern placing no value on Wong tion whom he regarded as a mere nuisance his primary objective was to consolidate control over the chilin Pavilion upon hearing about the mountain demons surrounding the Royal melum both Wong Hong and suchin exchanged glances a flicker of fear passing between them before they smiled and set their minds at ease Mountain demons were far more formidable than ordinary beasts they could shap shift and cast Illusions even skilled practitioners could fall victim to their enchantments and ultimately perish drained of their life Essence as Darkness deepened after the sun had set Wong tion fully integrated the dragon bone into his body the instant he opened his eyes two beams of Golden Light shot forth presenting a fearsome sight I this the body transformed by the dragon bone he felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through him and his senses had greatly heightened remarkably his cultivation had even ascended to the eighth tier Wong tion clenched his fists thoroughly satisfied with his newly transformed physique An Occurrence he had never dared to dream of had now materialized with the dragon bone his future and cultivation promised to soar to unpress precedented Heights excitement for his future flooded Wong tion's mind after assessing his physical condition Wong tion realized he was utterly filthy covered in a layer of grime that was both uncomfortable and foul smelling moreover having gone two days and nights without food he felt a gnawing hunger I must find a place to wash and eat I am far too dirty exiting his modest Abode Wong tion discovered that the Royal melum held no Provisions for food or bathing he would have to search the surrounding area with his decision made he set forth toward the outskirts of the Royal melum the Royal melum was flanked by mountains on three sides with a road leading to the capital on the fourth given Wong tion's current status it was impossible for him to venture into the capital to bathe thus he would have to search the nearby Mountains for a suitable bathing Spot while foraging for wild fruits to Stave off his hunger as night enveloped the landscape the pale Moonlight draped the forest floor like a layer of frost wongon tread carefully along the mountain path persist stantly searching for a place to wash when suddenly the sound of Rushing Water caught his attention a spring Wong tion's heart leaped with joy as he hurried towards the sound and upon Drawing Near he beheld a magnificent waterfall with a large pool at its base Splendid finally a place to wash Wong ton feeling sticky and foul raced towards the bathing spot the spring water was crystal clear devoid of any water-based beasts confirming the safety of the spring he stripped off his clothes and leaped into the water the cool sweet spring water was invigorating and Wong tion could not help but Frolic in it washing away the grime while his spirits lifted significantly however Midway through his cleansing a sultry voice emerged from behind him little brother why are you bathing so late at night would you care to wash with me upon hearing the voice wongon instinctively turned to look and at that moment his blood ran hot before him stood an enchantingly beautiful woman her bare body partially submerged in the water the Moonlight casting an ethereal glow that rendered her form tantalizingly visible I in the lower half she was submerged beneath the water surface despite the crystalline Clarity of the spring the beauty of the scene remained obscured by the cloak of night Point 3,000 strands of hair cascad down her back flowing freely like ethereal Sprites in the breeze causing ripples to dance as the Gentle Wind stirred my dear sir are you still bathing at this late hour would you care for my company The Woman cast a flirtatious glance at WTI on beckoning him with a playful finger exuding an irresistible charm faced with such an enticing display wongon remained composed furrowing his brow this was a remote Forest devoid of human presence and at such an hour what respectable woman would dare bathe in the open let alone with a stranger could she be a mountain Spirit In Disguise a sudden thought struck him Mountain Spirits were rumored to frequent the vicinity of the Imperial Tomb and many skilled Warriors had fallen prey to their Allure Miss please conduct yourself with dignity he cautioned maintaining his composure in the face of her overwhelming Beauty should this woman indeed be a mountain Spirit seeking to drain his Essence he would not hesitate to strike her down come now don't be shy I promise to make your bath quite delightful once you try you'll no longer be a child as Wong tion stood unmoved the woman giggled and began to approach him if you won't come to me then I shall come to you with each step her alluring eyes shimmered with a pink glow be in and enticing and snaring anyone who dared to gaze upon her Wong tion felt a slight dizziness as their eyes met but he remained Vigilant bolstered by the dragon bone within him which shielded him from her seductive influence indeed she was a mountain Spirit attempting to ensnare him but fortunately he had the dragon bone to protect him quietly channeling his dragon energy to resist her charms he fed enchantment ready to strike with his Excalibur at the moment she Drew near it was said that mountain Spirits could slay Warriors of the third tier and although wongon possessed the Excalibur and the protection of the dragon bone he dared not let his guard down the beguiling woman seeing wongon gazing at her with a foolish smile assumed another man had fallen for her charms a smirk of Triumph gracing her enchanting face indeed all men are the same yet this young man is strikingly handsome and possesses a fine physique I find myself reluctant to devour him a glimmer of saliva escaped her lips as as she sensually licked her delicate mouth perhaps I should indulge in some pleasure with him before feasting as she admired Wong tion's form her excitement grew but just as she Drew closer a flash of Cold Light pierced through the air aimed at her pristine neck the proximity and speed left her unprepared by the time she reacted it was too late to eye in an instant her head was severed and floated silently upwards a fountain of crimson erupting to a height of a meter staining the waters around wangon a deep red in that fleeting moment the naked woman met her demise unable to comprehend her fate until the very end shortly thereafter her body collapsed into the spring transforming into a headless Mountain Spirit resembling a fox with gray fur appearing grotesque under the Moonlight indeed she was a mountain Spirit albeit a feeble one had she possessed greater strength Wong tion's success might not have been assured stowing away the Excalibur he acknowledged the force required for that strike his intent was to deliver a fatal blow without affording her a chance to evade or retaliate he needed to leave quickly should her kin discover what transpired Escape would be impossible s he made his way to the shore a sudden thought struck him and he returned to touch the lifeless body of the Headless Mountain Spirit ding congratulations host you have encountered a yellow grade corpse gaining tin charm with the systems announcement Wong tion felt his attractiveness heighten once more yellow grade corpses are indeed unimpressive he mused hastily dressing with before departing on his way back he hastily gathered a few wild fruits to Stave off hunger barely managing to satisfy his appetite having completed his tasks he returned silently to the Imperial Tomb shortly after his departure two Mountain Spirits transformed into a man and a woman emerged from the spring shiao is dead the female Mountain Spirit glared at the Headless corpse in the spring her fists clenched tightly her beautiful eyes brimming with murderous intent he has slain Arkin he cannot Escape the male mountain Spirit snorted then leaned down to sniff the water before leaping ashore and intensely sniffing at a large Stone the very spot where Wong tion had previously bathed and left his clothes fourth brother have you found anything the female Mountain Spirit inquired anxiously yes he ran that way the male mountain Spirit pointed towards a mountain path after him without hesitation the female Mountain Spirit surged forward the male Spirit swiftly following suit the two transformed spirits pursued wongon sent through the forest and arrived at the perimeter of the Imperial Tomb it must be someone from the Imperial Tomb the male Spirit observed his brow furrowing with concern as he regarded the tomb the Imperial Tomb was royal territory to intrude and kill would be tantamount to provoking the royal family an act that could jeopardize their entire lineage moreover an elderly man with white hair resided within the tomb possessing strength that could easily Crush their kind a significant deterrent against recklessness only one white white- haired Elder in the Tomb could it be he who killed AR Shao the female Mountain Spirit pondered this elder had previously slain members of their kind and confronting him would surely lead to more losses reluctantly they had to abandon thoughts of Revenge if the Elder was indeed responsible for shaunk death they would have to suppress their Fury I recognize the sin of that white-haired Elder it is entirely different from the one that killed shiau the male Spirit analyzed calmly furthermore the Elder resides on the Eastern side of the Tomb while the scent of Shia je killer lingered on the southern side indicating that the two are not one and the same could there be newcomers to the tomb the female Spirits heart lightened at the thought if it was not the white-haired Elder they still had a chance for vengeance there must be newcomers at the tomb we should gather more of our kin to guard the area once the killer emerges we shall ensure they pay for their blood debt the female Mountain Spirit declared her eyes glinting with Fierce determination chapter 7 the emperor's tomb of 10,000 concubines Upon returning to his humble abode Wong tion was blissfully unaware of the Mountain Spirits lying in weight outside the Imperial Tomb at that moment he sat cross-legged on his wooden bed engrossed in his cultivation with the aid of the dragon bone his training accelerated beyond measure for the first time wongon experienced such rapid progress akin to riding a rocket he found himself becoming somewhat addicted to the PACE losing an entire day in the process upon Awakening he discovered his dragon energy had reached the mid eth tier with the dragon bone his cultivation speed was indeed impressive in just a day his dragon energy had ascended to the mid eth tier satisfied with his current rate of progress wongon Rose to stretch his limbs before deciding to explore the melum further with dragon energy at the eighth tier he was now able to enter the Earth toned melum specifically that of the infamous Tyrant though the Dian Dynasty boasted a history spanning 10,000 years it had seen its fair share of despots the most notorious being Wong Guang whose herum often numbered around 10,000 whenever a concubine perished he would replenish his herum through selection processes Tio indulged in Mart with his numerous concubines he even constructed the copper Sparrow Palace filled with pools of wine and feasts a veritable Paradise of excess it could be said that Wong Guang was the most infamous tyrant in history astonishingly he lived for over 80 years attaining the first tier of power had it not been for his ill-fated desire to forcibly marry the Empress of Xiao he might not have met his demise at her hands the first melum Wang tion sought out was that of Wong Guang posterous titled the Ling Emperor the earthtone melum spanned an area equivalent to a football field with accompanying burial SES numbering over 10,000 second only to the first emperor in this regard truly our ancestor knew how to enjoy life in life he was attended by thousands of concubines and in death he is accompanied by thousands more point one cannot help but admire such a legacy Wong tion mused a mix of awe and skepticism flooding his mind however a question arose within him with a herum of 10,000 even if he were to indulge in five each day it would take 2,000 days to sample them all was his ancestors Vitality forged from steel Wong tion's curiosity peaked regarding the cultivation methods employed by this Tyrant who managed to engage with so many concubines and live to such an advanced age what Treasures might I uncover from his remains Wong t felt a surge of anticipation regarding the Ling Emperor's corpse as he approached the Earth toned melum he encountered a barrier of dragon energy that prevented his entry anticipating this Wong tion activated his own dragon energy and advanced step by step with his eighth tier dragon energy enhanced by the dragon bone he easily penetrated the Ling Emperor's melum upon entering he beheld a vast Hall comparable in size to a football field that I in the center stood a towering platform of blue stone approximately 6 M tall upon which rested the Ling Emperor's coffin surrounding the platform were four massive pits positioned at the Eastern southern Western and Northern Points each meticulously arranged with countless skeletal remains if one were to count them patiently they would total precisely 10,000 such a collection of Bones revealed the ruthless nature of their ancestor although Wong tion had prepared himself mentally the site before him still left him in awe he had never before encountered such a multitude of skeletal remains simultaneously after after a considerable period Wong tion's emotions finally settled this turned out to be a fortunate opportunity for him to collect rewards with this thought in mind Wong tion briskly approached one of the earn pits leaping down and casually brushing against one of the skeletal remains ding he touched a yellow grade corpse and obtained a basic Spirit pill typically those buried as accompanying offerings were not particularly strong and these concubines were all women from the Imperial Herm thus acquiring a basic Spirit pill from them was deemed satisfactory Wong tion did not mind the meager reward even the legs of a mosquito constitute sustenance he swiftly continued to rumage through the other bones in the pit the systems notifications ringing in Rapid succession ding he touched a yellow grade corpse and obtained another basic Spirit pill ding he touched a yellow grade corpse and obtained yet another basic Spirit pill ding he touched a yellow grade corpse and received another basic Spirit pill ding he touched a yellow grade corpse and garnered yet another basic Spirit pill The Continuous stream of system prompts left Wong tion overwhelmed be why the time he finished he had lost count of how many corpses he had touched and the number of basic Spirit pills in his system space was rapidly increasing exhausted he remarked so many basic Spirit pills taking a deep breath he checked his system space and was taken back after all his efforts he had amassed over 500 basic Spirit pills such a bounty could practically serve as a meal and feeling a bit hungry he decided to consume them as sustenance wongon grabbed a handful of basic Spirit pills from his system space and stuffed them into his mouth once the pills entered his stomach the dragon energy within him surged violently operating within him at an exhilarating Pace although they were only basic Spirit pills their sheer quantity compensated for their quality 500 basic Spirit pills were likely equivalent to a single intermediate Spirit pill Wong tion feeling bold stuffed a few more handfuls into his mouth while continuing to explore the corpses the influx of basic Spirit pills created a dynamic equilibrium and his power grew rapidly in the process it was unclear how much time passed but eventually Wong tion had thoroughly examined all 10,000 corpses across the four pits the number of basic Spirit pills he had obtained was staggering though he had consumed most of them burp Wang tion let out A Satisfied belch a testament to his unusual feed of eating so many Spirit pills after stuffing the remaining pills into his mouth he settled into a cross-legged position and began to regulate his breathing for cultivation the turbulent and dense dragon energy gradually calmed under his focused efforts and he successfully broke through to the late stage of the eighth rank as he opened his eyes two beams of Golden Light shot forth from his gaze delightful the effects of 1,000 basic Spirit pills are impressive wongon was thoroughly pleased with the results rising to his feet he directed his attention to the high platform at the center of the hall where the coffin of the spirit Emperor lay now it was time to explore the remains of his ancestor Wong tion felt a surge of anticip ation regarding the ancestors remains moreover the rewards he had obtained from combing through the 10,000 corpses led him to suspect that the spirit Emperor's purported debauchery might not be as simplistic as it appeared the ability to derive basic Spirit pills from the skeletal remains indicated that these women had possessed a certain degree of spiritual energy during their lifetimes while a few instances could be attributed to coincidence the presence of spiritual energy in so many women suggested a deeper intention did the spirit Emperor intentionally favor these spiritually dowed women or was it merely for his own gratification why was it that despite indulging in so many concubines his power only grew stronger ultimately achieving Mastery in the first rank if he had not sought to forcibly marry the Empress of the Xiao Kingdom at over 80 years of age he could have potentially lived for several hundred more years there must be a deeper mystery at play now it was time to see what Treasures could be Unearthed from the spirit Emperor's remains with this thought Wong tion approached the spirit Emperor's coffin step by step. as he neared the high platform he retrieved the juen sword from his system space having narrowly escaped danger at the hands of the young Emperor he vowed never to repeat such a mistake the high platform stood approximately 6 M tall and Wong tion ascended it step by step however after a few steps he felt his feet grow heavy was this the effect of a gravitational array indeed approaching the coffin was not as simple as it seemed taking a deep breath wongon summoned his dragon energy to to counteract the weight with the assistance of his dragon energy he found it a bit easier to ascend but the further he climbed the more oppressive the gravitational force became be why the time he reached the halfway point he was already panting heavily the power of this gravitational array exceeded his expectations its might was far more formidable than he had anticipated and it seemed he would need the juian sword to break the array resolutely wongon infused his dragon energy into the juian sword for the first time upon receiving the dragon energy the sword trembled violently and emitted a resonant dragon's Roar as the juian sword Unleashed its power Wang tion felt the gravitational force on him lightened significantly as if the gravitational array was being suppressed by the sword's melodic Roar which filled him with delight infusing the juen sword with dragon energy proved to enhance its potency immensely wongon sensed his combat ability rise to a new level free of the gravitational constraints he swiftly ascended the remaining steps and soon stood before the spirit Emperor's coffin it was a coffin crafted from dark copper entirely black with a striking gray Dragon intricately engraved on its surface two black dragon Stones were embedded in the dragon's eyes and as wongon approached he was astonished to see the Dragoness eyes swivel to regard him the dragon's eyes were moving wongon alerted by this anomaly froze in place fearing that any slight movement might provoke an attack from the gray dragon pattern clearly the higher the level of the melum the more powerful the guardian dragon pattern became making it far more challenging to approach his ancestors remains Wong tion swallowed hard forcing himself to remain calm he would have to rely on the juian sword once more gripping the juian sword tightly he prepared to pry the two dragon stones from the dragon pattern without the dragon Stones the dragon pattern would pose little threat without hesitation he made his move but as he did the gray dragon pattern transformed into a massive dragon that surged forth from the charging directly at him fortunately Wong tion had anticipated this and with the juian sword in hand he struck out with a powerful slash the juian sword now infused with dragon energy surged with overwhelming force and the Dragoness Roar resounded once more entwining with the mixed energy of dragon energy and sword intent that clashed against the gry dragon the two forces collided with the juusen sword maintaining the upper hand in a single strike the gray Dragon lost its head and as the head fell to the ground the two dragon Stones tumbled out and rolled to Wong tion's feet was it really that easy Wong tion could hardly believe that he had effortlessly dispatched such a massive dragon pattern with a single strike especially one supported by Dragon stones after a prolonged moment he accepted this reality the juian sword was indeed a top tier weapon wongon caressed the juian sword feeling an even greater fondness for it after eliminating the dragon pattern he picked up the two dragon stones and care y Pride opened the spirit Emperor's coffin lid with the juusen sword a pungent odor of decaying flesh assaulted his senses fortunately Wong tion had already shielded himself with dragon energy allowing him to ward off the foul stench finally he had succeeded in opening it with eager anticipation wongon leaned forward to peer into the coffin where a skeletal remains lay encased within surrounded by a plethora of treasures that could be considered burial Goods each item was worth a fortune however w tion's interest did not lie in these accompanying Treasures he eagerly reached out to touch the spirit Emperor's bones and as his hand made contact the systems voice echoed in response ding congratulations host you have touched a ground grade corpse and obtained chapter 8 the hidden secrets of the affectionate Emperor's tomb ding congratulations host you have touched a ground grade corpse and obtained the emperor's Cannon of internal medicine this reward brought immense Joy To wangon The Hang de aging was a premier method for dual cultiv of both genders based on the rewards he had received it was evident that the spirit Emperor had likely practiced this very text confirming Wong tion's earlier suspicions the spirit Emperor's Indulgence in so many spiritually endowed concubines was not merely lasciviousness but rather a strategic means to enhance his own power through the Dual cultivation method outlined in the Hang de aging no wonder the more women he favored the stronger he became it turned out that the spirit Emperor had been secretly relying on his relationships with concubines to bolster his strength he was not not a foolish Monarch but rather a Resolute Sage Wong tion's perception of the spirit Emperor shifted dramatically and he began to reconsider the emperor's desire to forcibly marry the Empress of Xiao Kingdom The ancestral figure's intention to marry her was likely also aimed at augmenting his own strength at that time he had already reached the first rank his intention to marry the empress was presumably to engage in dual cultivation with her aiming to break through limitations and attain the realm of celestial beings with these realizations Wong tion's understanding became clear that Humanity's Pinnacle of cultivation was the first rank yet Beyond it lay the Realms of human Celestial Earth Celestial and Heaven Celestial beings only by transcending human limitations could one attain the status of an immortal upon reaching the celestial realm Not only would One S lifespan greatly extend but their power would also become fearsome out of course only about a 100 individuals in Millennia have managed to reach such Heights with an exceptional Talent appearing roughly once every hundred years the world had misjudged the spe Emperor the act of enhancing his strength through dual cultivation with women although somewhat ignoble was not without Merit while wongon outwardly scorned this practice his body was honest in its response system I wish to learn the Hang D ning this was a skill rewarded by the system with just a thought he could instantly grasp its teachings a mere 15 minutes later he had comprehended all the intricacies of the Hang Dean aging upon opening his eyes he felt a newfound Clarity excellent in the future when he encounters suitable women he could employ the Dual cultivation method of the Hang D ning for his own cultivation ideally selecting those with Superior talents to expedite his progress after suppressing this thought Wong tion carefully replaced the coffin lid of the spirit Emperor and solemnly bowed three times before it as for the burial Treasures within the coffin he did not disturb a single item only taking the two Dragon Eyes that guarded the dragon patterns these Dragon Eyes Were forged from Spirit Stones that had been soaked in dragon energy for 40 9 years making them exceedingly precious Royal cultivation Treasures for wongon these Dragon Eyes Were exceptional aids for his breakthrough upon exiting the spirit Emperor's melum he realized that 3 days had already passed outside it seemed he had spent much time siting through the countless corpses and meditating on his cultivation since there was still ample time he decided to explore another tyrant's melum Wong tion was not in a hurry to return to his modest dwelling instead he made his way directly toward another grey melum throughout the history of the great Chen Dynasty spanning over 10,000 years there had been eight Infamous tyrants with Wang being the most notorious primarily due to his numerous consorts however from the Imperial Classics he had gleaned from Wong Guang it appeared that the spirit Emperor was not particularly foolish at the very least he understood the importance of self-cultivation and even sought to marry the Empress of Xiao to transcend the limitations of humanity this suggested that a tyrant might not necessarily be a true fool but rather a wise ruler masquerading as one Wong tion decided to visit Emperor Wong Chong the first romantic emperor of the great Chen Dynasty whose Empress was a rare Phoenix body from whom he might uncover extraordinary Treasures from her remains with this thought Wong tion hurried toward the melum of Emperor Wong Chong in contrast to Wong guang's multitude of consorts Wong Chong had only one woman throughout his life the holy maiden of guangling su waner dos waner born with a phoenix body was destined for greatness and SU would Circle guangling sect 10 times for her affections yet she was inexplicably drawn to a poor scholar naturally Su wanner's father vly opposed this relationship to dissuade her from the impoverished scholar he secretly sent her into the palace for selection consequently she was chosen by the newly enthroned Wong Chong at first glance it is said that during the selection process Sue wanner even leaped off a cliff in despair yet remarkably she sustained only minor injuries upon her fall from the heights upon her return however her demor transformed entirely she no longer resisted the selection and obediently complied with the arrangements meanwhile the poor scholar upon learning that his beloved had married the emperor devoted himself to study and cultivation eventually founding a new school of thought the confusion da and establishing an academy becoming the first generation of sages regrettably by the time this scholar had risen to prominence and entered the palace to see suer she had already lost all feelings for him thus the Great Sage met his tragic end beneath the sycamore tree where they had once pledged their love Wong tion soon arrived at the melum of Emperor Wong Chong although it was considerably smaller than Wang guang's melum it too contained dragon energy prohibitions however this posed no challenge for Wong tion channeling the eighth grade dragon energy within him he effortlessly gained entry upon entering the melum wongon was astonished to find the interior lavishly adorned with a courtyard filled with a riot of colorful flowers vibrant and enchanting alongside numerous fruit trees bearing an abundance of ripe fruits it seemed that this ancestor truly was a romantic having expended considerable effort and resources in constructing the Phoenix Palace for his beloved Empress during his lifetime and even after death he had planted a myriad of Flowers in her honor Wong tion marveled at how he and Wong Guang were Polar Opposites one regarded women as mere tools for cultivation while the other cherished them as Treasures however as W tion observed longer he began to notice something peculiar about the flowers and fruit trees why do these flowers and trees differ from those in the palace he pondered moreover that fruit did it not resemble the fox fruit wongon furrowed his brow but did not delve deeper as it was the landowner's prerogative to cultivate whatever he wished after traversing the floral expanse Wong tion finally entered the main melum before him lay opulent Decor the floor paved with Jade white Spirit Stones and four pillars crafted from Millennial old purple Sandalwood intricately carved with dragon and Phoenix motifs exuding an imposing Aura suspended from the ceiling was a basketball-sized pink stone emanating and alluring energy below this pink stone rested a grand Jade white double coffin twice the size of Wong wangs containing the remains of both Wong Chong and Su waner to be born together and to share the grave in death this clearly indicated Wong Chang's deep affection for his Empress yet it was precisely this excessive Indulgence that rendered him a tyrant whatever Su waner desired he granted her the lavish construction of the Phoenix Palace was but a trivial matter he even waged war against the Moon Kingdom sacrificing a 100,000 soldiers merely to obtain the moon Fox Pearl and elicit a smile from his beloved ultimately the generals unable to endure the excesses any longer United to storm the palace forcing Wong Chong to bestow death upon Sue waner on the very day of her death Wong Chong left behind a suicide note taking his own life if one were to label him a tyrant it was D doubtedly true yet he was also a romantic Emperor worthy of being called the most passionate emperor in the great Chen Dynasty after reflecting on this Wong tion retrieved the Excalibur of celestial slang from his system space based on past experiences Imperial coffins were typically protected by Dragon patterns requiring cautious handling as Wong tion Drew closer to the coffin the pink stone above began to exude an increasingly potent Allure suddenly he felt dizzy his thoughts becoming muddled as if an enchant anting woman in a red gown was rushing toward him from afar reaching out to embrace him calm down it's merely an illusion wongon shook his head channeling his dragon energy to resist the Illusions assault with the aid of the dragon bone he swiftly withstood the ucer attack causing the vision of the woman in the red gown to vanish that was close thankfully I had the Dragon Bone or I would have been unable to resist such an illusion at my level Wong tion inwardly felt relieved yet simultaneously perplexed as this illusionary attack bore a striking resemblance to the way the mountain enchantress had previously seduced him instinctively he raised his gaze toward the pink stone above the melum frowning it seemed that this Stone was the source of the illusion Wong tion swiftly swung his sword shattering the pink stone which fell to the ground thereby nullifying the illusion's mental assault this stone is intriguing I should collect it he stored the now split pink stone in his system space without the illusion obstructing him Wong tion proceeded to stand before the double coffin as his gaze fell upon the protective Dragon patterns on the coffin his expression suddenly changed he discovered that in addition to the engraved gray dragon pattern there was another species etched into it not a phoenix but rather chapter 9 what is love that binds life and death together the double coffin bore not only the engraving of the gry Dragon but also that of another creature a gray fox a dragon and a fox two in twined patterns seem to represent two lovers why is it not a phoenix but a fox Wong tion was greatly astonished Su waner the Empress of Emperor Wong Chong was born with a phoenix body and thus her engraving should rightfully depict a phoenix why then was it a gray fox wait a moment why does this gray fox look so familiar Wong tion focused intently on the engraving of the gray fox on the coffin lid increasingly feeling that it was recognizable suddenly a flash of insight struck him didn't this fox resemble the mountain enchantress could it be that the engraving depicted a mountain enchantress wongon had recently vanquished a mountain enchantress so he would not mistake her appearance with this thought he retrieved the previously split pink stone from his system space this object had the power to charm hearts it seemed related to the mountain enchantress but why would an imperial coffin bear the engraving of a mountain enchantress Wong tion furrowed his brow filled with questions and turned his gaze back to the double coffin too uncovered the truth he need to open the coffin and examine the remains only by exploring the empress's corpse could he possibly find rewards that would reveal the truth having made his decision Wong tion tightened his grip on the Excalibur of celestial slang preparing to open the coffin a that moment the dragon and fox patterns on the coffin lid sprang to life and lunged at Wong tion ever Vigilant he swiftly used the Excalibur to strike at the two energies with a series of muffled thuds the powerful energies were almost instantaneously obliterated upon upon contact with the Excalibur the dragon and fox patterns on the coffin lid lost their Vigor dimming into insignificance having the Excalibur is truly advantageous it effortlessly dispelled the coffins protective dragon pattern Wong tion felt reassured and began to pry open the coffin lid with the sword with Wong tion's persistent efforts the coffin lid creaked open bit by bit before fully uncovering it he enveloped himself in dragon energy this would not only Shield him from the stench of Decay within the coffin but also protect him from any potential traps that might lie within as the coffin was completely opened the sight that greeted Wong tion was that of two human skeletons lying peacefully in the coffin they were two human skeletons not the remains of a fox demon Wong tion's confusion deepened and old matter I'll just examine them who knows which skeleton belongs to the empress both skeletons were of similar size and length and without being a forensic expert Wong tion found it challenging to discern which was male and which was female I start with this one without further Ado he reached out to touch one of the skeletons the instant his hand made contact a system notification chimed in his ear ding congratulations host you have touched a profound level corpse earning 10 years of dragon energy as the systems voice faded an overwhelming surge of dragon energy coursed through Wong tion's body swirling chaotically and almost causing him to explode this must be the skeleton of Emperor Wong Chong 10 years of dragon energy is just enough for me to break through through to the seventh grade realm without hesitation Wong tion settled into a meditative posture he is currently at the late stage of the eighth rank originally intending to utilize those two Dragon Eyes to break through to the seventh rank however with the sudden addition of 10 years worth of dragon energy he can now use it to make that breakthrough thereby conserving the two Dragon Eyes once won settled down in a meditative posture the previously turbulent dragon energy began to calm and under his deliberate guidance it started to circulate ryth Al within his body with each complete circulation of the dragon energy Wong tion's physique grew stronger and his power Advanced further still the concentration of the 10 years dragon energy was astonishing and Wong tion repeatedly circulated it throughout his body time seemed to dissolve and eventually a qualitative change occurred within him his body became more resilient his Meridian sturdier his vital energy more abundant and his senses sharper he experienced a transformation from head to toe the moment he opened his eyes a stream of golden turbid energy was expelled from his mouth comfortable at last he had finally reached the seventh rank enabling him to walk upon water satisfied Wong tion glanced over his body and threw a punch feeling the dragon energy surge forth exuding an extraordinary might next it was time to examine the Queen's remains filled with anticipation Wong tion stood up and leaned towards the coffin reaching out once more to touch another corpse within the moment his hand made contact with the remains the systems voice chimed in perfectly ding congratulations host for touching a ground level corpse you have obtained the heart of the Sacred Fox the systems announcement nearly left wangon in disbelief why the heart of the Sacred Fox shouldn't the reward be related to the Phoenix instead Wong tion was utterly bewildered according to the usual reward rules set by the system the rewards he received should have been closely tied to the corpses he encountered yet this time the system had provided a reward utterly unrelated to the remains to no the coffin lid was engraved with a gray fox surely the system would not air thus there could only be one truth Wong tion's gaze shifted back to the Queen's remains and his expression grew increasingly grave there was no mistake Emperor Wong Chang's Queen must have been transformed from a fox Spirit however the remains belonged to a normal human thus there was only one possibility Su waner had been possessed by the fox Spirit when she leapt off the cliff during the selection process she had actually died and the suer that followed was in truth the fox spirit that had taken her place the realization sent chills down Wong tion's spine as he unwittingly uncovered a hidden Imperial romance it was utterly unfathomable that the queen of the Duan Empire was a fox Spirit was it possible that no one had noticed Sue waner was transformed Wong tion frowned it was known that the palace was filled with experts what kind of demon could Escape their Discerning eyes moreover this fox Spirit was the queen however Wong tion soon pondered a possibility unless this fox Spirit had achieved sanctity allowing her demonic Aura to be completely concealed could she Escape detection by the experts achieving sanctity as a demon was exceedingly difficult it required not only talent but also opportunity the heart of the Sacred Fox a sudden spark of insight ignited in Wong tion's mind and he promptly retrieved the heart of the Sacred Fox from the system space this heart resembling a human heart but significantly smaller about the size of a fish radiated a Divine red light and pulsed rhythmically This Heart of the Sacred Fox was not something an ordinary Fox Spirit could cultivate only one who had reached a high level of Mastery could produce it in a wonder she had not been discovered by the experts it turned out this fox Spirit was indeed a sacred Fox Enlightenment dawned upon Wong tion yet confusion lingered but why had this fox Spirit possessed Su wanner's body and married Emperor Wong Chong was it true love for him leading her to forsake her cultivation Fox Spirits cultivate demonic energy without a demon's body they cannot practice Wong tion furrowed his brow in contemplation recalling that Emperor Wong Chong had only one woman throughout his life suddenly Clarity struck him perhaps they were truly in love no wonder the cofin lid bore the Engravings of a dragon and a fox this must have been Emperor Wong chenk final Testament what is love if not a bond that binds life and death after a moment of reflection Wong tion replaced the coffin lid and bowed Thrice to the ill faded couple having completed this he turned to leave Emperor Wong Chang's melum after touching the remains of two Infamous rulers Wong tion realized that every Emperor harbored his own Secrets perhaps the outside world remained oblivious but through the systems rewards Wong tion could uncover their most Hidden Truths this piqu his interest further in the other Emperors within the tomb exiting Wong Chang's melum he noticed that Knight had completely Fallen Wong tion had lost track of how long he had lingered within feeling feeling a slight Pang of hunger he decided to venture into the capital under the cover of night to procure some delectable food after days of foraging wild fruits his pallet craved something more substantial however just as he stepped out of the royal tomb a group of individuals surrounded his path kid you finally emerged we've been waiting for you for 10 days prepare to meet your end chapter 10 counter enticement in pursuit of Vengeance for Shao who s LED nine members of the mountain charm Clan vigilantly guarding the outskirts of the royal tomb regardless of day or night rain or shine he remained steadfast at his post just as their patience began to wne a familiar scent finally wafted out from the Royal tomb HEK finally out Brothers keep a close watch on that shadow in front he is the one who murdered our sha ji you die in the darkness who sand pointed at a figure emerging from the southern gate of the Tomb issuing hushed orders the transformed members of the mountain charm Clan nodded in agreement locking their energies onto the shadow soon the figure completely exited the confines of the Tomb and seizing the opportunity husan LED his kin to Spring forth kid you finally came out we've been waiting for you for 10 days prepare to die with a fierce glint in his eyes husan waved his hand and the nine Mountain charm Fox Spirits swiftly formed a formation surrounding wongon with no Escape Wong tion's expression tightened surveying the crowd he furrowed his brow and spoke in a low voice who sent you before countering Wong t needed to ascertain who had dispatched this group if it were the fourth Prince or the chancellor he would have no choice but to fight to the death point 10 nights ago you killed a female Mountain charm in the spring do you remember husan shouted angrily female Mountain charm Wong tion suddenly recalled that he had indeed slain a gray Fox 10 days prior and instinctively retorted you are the mountain charm Clan indeed the mountain charm you killed was one of our kin and today we demand Blood for Blood H's demonic energy erupted fear ly and the other nine members of the mountain charm Clan Unleashed their own energies preparing to end Wong tion's life at any moment realizing they were merely a group of mountain charms wongon felt a surge of confidence Mountain charms posed no threat comparable to the chancellor or the fourth Prince killing one was akin to killing many those unafraid of death could come forth Wong tion unshed the Exquisite sword infusing it with dragon energy which emitted an enthralling thunderous Roar huan and his companions were not not deterred by the Exquisite sword instead they charged at Wong tion with wild abandon Wong tion was not one to hold back come on his gaze sharpened and with a swift motion he struck down the two nearest Mountain charms severing them from head to torso Charming the heart the female Mountain charms witnessing this Unleashed their charm techniques upon Wong tion you wish to charm me you are still too inexperienced Watch How I charm you instead wongon produced a piece of pink stone the charm Stone he had acquired from Emperor Wong Chang's melum although he had split the charm Stone in two it could still be utilized as long as he infused it with dragon energy as the dragon energy coarsed into the pink stone it emanated a mesmerizing pink glow radiating Beauty and eeriness in the night the female Mountain charms upon encountering the enchanting pink light were instantly captivated remaining transfixed in place likewise the weaker male mountain charms fell under the charm spell rooted to the spot only husan the strongest among them retained a sliver of Lucidity what is happening why are we being Charmed by him husan struggled against the pink charm his mind reeling with confusion this charm was an exclusive ability of their Fox Spirit Clan How could a human wield it moreover the pink charm Radiance bore the same energy as their Mountain charms charm technique why was this the case a thousand questions swirled in H's mind H I didn't expect the pink Stones charm effect to be this potent Wong Tang witnessing their enchantment was pleasantly surprised he did not rush to eliminate them instead he approached a stunning female Mountain charm and commanded twirl around Teo his astonishment the female Mountain charm complied spinning around to reveal her alluring figure to wongon he was thoroughly pleased the pink Stone's charm effect exceeded all expectations I wonder if this charm Stone Works on humans wongon mused sensing the potential of the pink stone returning his Focus he directed his gaze towards usan the only one not fully Enchanted this fellow was at the sixth rank a level above Wong tion and should have been able to overpower him yet the reality was that he was completely subdued even losing to Wong tion's Talent technique so you wish to kill me do you Wong tion stepped forward one hand clutching the pink stone and the other wielding the Exquisite sword advancing slowly towards husan fear gripped Us's heart he had never anticipated Wang tion's strength to be so formidable he had underestimated his opponent the closer he drew to the charm's pink Radiance the greater the pressure he felt and with a moment's in atttention he might succumb to the charm and be manipulated where did you acquire that charm Stone who Sam discerned that the reason this human could wield the charm skill was due to the pink stone before him did I ask you to inquire Wong tion replied irritation etching his brow before delivering a powerful slap to Hun's face sending him sprawling to the ground blood trickling from the corner of his mouth enraged usan attempted to rise and retaliate but the pink light disoriented him causing his mind to spiral into chaos he realized that if this continued he would inevitably fall under the control of the man before him summoning all his demonic energy he endeavored to resist the enchanting influence of the pink light but even then he felt overwhelmed whether you wish to kill or not our Shan Clan has never feared death who San declared defiantly bracing himself for the inevitable if that is the case then I shall Grant your wish Wong tion brandished the juusen sword poised to strike when suddenly a melodious and enchanting voice floated towards him from afar sixth Prince please show Mercy instinctively wangon turned towards the source of the voice and beheld a breathtaking woman clad in a light blue gown gracefully approaching him covering 10 met in a single step as if traversing space itself observing this Wong tion furrowed his brow anyone capable of such a feat must possess at least a fourth tier power a level he could not contend with at present ichu San's heart soared at the sight of this enchanting figure and he cried out for help patriarch save me however as the woman Drew near she offered no assistance instead she dealt h a resounding slap across the other side of his face who permitted you to lead our kin in an assassination attempt against the sixth Prince she chided sharply the force of her blow was greater than that delivered by Wong tion sending whoan rolling several times on the ground losing it tooth in the process dazed husan struggled to comprehend why the patriarch would not Aid him but instead struck him yet he was astute enough to remember the patriarch's address for Wong tion sixth Prince he is the sixth Prince whoan thought incredulously it can't be How could a prince possibly guard a royal tomb he found it hard to believe according to reason a prince was of utmost nobility and would not venture to such a remote Royal resting place yet these words came from the mouth of his most trusted patriarch indic that the man before him was indeed very likely the sixth Prince a chill ran down his spine at the realization that he had led his kin to attempt the assassination of a prince if the emperor were to learn of this it would spell Doom for the entire sha Clan patriarch he cannot truly be the sixth Prince can he whoan trembled as he rose unsteadily from the ground gazing at the enchanting woman in feared Dio you not even believe my words the patriarch's cold gaze bore down on him her anger palpable the Sha Clan had long been hiding in these desolate mountains merely clinging to life yet whoan dared to lead an assassination on the sixth Prince risking their very existence upon receiving the patriarch's confirmation husan was struck with Terror and fell to his knees wongon observe them with indifference but he was curious about how this captivating woman knew of his identity sixth Prince allow me to apologize on behalf of my kin who G said bowing respectfully if apologies were sufficient why would we need the law wongon smirked slightly recognizing her desire to protect her kin yet he insisted that she must pay a price he would not let them off so easily if the sixth Prince is willing to spare my kin I personally pledge my loyalty to you huji stated after a moment of contemplation chapter 11 the enchanting Fox's loyalty who s's heart sank at the thought of the patriarch pledging loyalty to their enemy patriarch you need not do this for us I would rather die than see you subjugated he proclaimed attempting to take his own life only to be rendered unconscious by who G's Swift strike her choice to personally pledge loyalty to Wong tion was not made lightly Rumors in the Marshal World suggested that the sixth Prince was inept yet what she witnessed today painted a different picture he was a master of concealment I am the current struggle for the throne the sixth Prince lacked any solid foundation choosing to Ally with him would be akin to providing assistance in their time of need should he Ascend to the throne one day the Sham Clan would no longer need to scrape by in these wildernesses and perhaps even sore to Greatness Additionally the reason for her decision to align with the sixth Prince was significantly influenced by the sight of him wielding the treasured artifact of their fox demon Clan suggesting a connection to their kind you wish to pledge loyalty to me wongon was taken AB then scrutinized the woman before him seriously her beauty was Exquisite a delicate painting brought to life her brows resembled distant mountains veiled in Mist her eyes akin to Autumn Waters brimming with emotion her alluring gaze held a hint of Pride imbued with a beguiling charm her silken hair cascaded like a waterfall smooth and lustrous Dancing In The Wind releasing a faint trace of peach blossom fragrance that captivated the senses her figure was graceful and curvaceous resembling a willow swaying gently delicate as if it could snap with a mere Touch under the Moonlight her skin was as pale as Jade almost translucent exuding a subtle glow akin to a goddess illuminated by the moon both Noble and Myster ious with a hint of Allure such a breathtaking woman would draw the admiration of any man however Wong tion remained composed indeed as long as the sixth Prince spares my kin I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you hu G declared bowing humbly how can I trust your words what if I spare your kin only to have you turn against me Wong tion's gaze bore into her as if seeking to unveil her true intentions should she genuinely wish to serve him he would gladly accept her loyalty and nurture her granting her the heart of the Sacred Fox although precious it held little value to humans akin to an ordinary pig's heart if the sixth Prince doubts my sincerity I can offer you my soul should I Harbor even the slightest intent to betray you could end my life with but a thought huji resolved biting her lip this was a gamble of a lifetime rather than languish in these desolate mountains she chose to take the risk anyone capable of acquiring their Clan's treasured artifact could not be considered a fool you truly intend to give me your soul Wong tion was astonished the soul could indeed be a means of control yet she was a fourth tier patriarch was she genuinely willing to submit to him absolutely huji affirmed channeling her demonic energy to coales a white light at her forehead which soon materialized into a fragile glowing orb the essence of her soul sixth Prince this is my soul should I even entertain the slightest thought of defiance you could crush it with a mere thought and a show of unwavering loyalty Hui resolutely offered her soul Wong tion was unexpectedly impressed by her sincerity thus he accepted without hesitation I in that case I shall accept I oh reward your loyalty I have a gift for you with a wave of his hand he accepted who G Soul storing it within his Consciousness with a mere thought he could obliterate it leading to her instant demise hug having achieved no merit yet dared not hope for any reward this is of no use to me yet it holds immense benef benefit for your fox demon Clan Wong tion stated producing the heart of the Sacred Fox its Rich demonic energy radiating outward recognizing her genuine desire to Ally with him Wong tion felt compelled to reciprocate this this is huji gasped in disbelief upon seeing the sacred Fox heart this is the heart of the Sacred Fox a treasure only those who have attained the sacred Fox realm can cultivate W tion explained Satisfied by her astonished expression I ask this truly the heart of the Sacred Fox huji felt her blood surge this was the Pinnacle of aspiration for their fox demon Clan a legendary artifact that now lay before her you need not doubt this is indeed the heart of the Sacred Fox and it is now yours Wong tion placed the pulsating sacred Fox heart into her hands as she cradled the heart her delicate hands trembled uncontrollably her enchanting figure quaking with excitement such a rich and pure fox demon Essence this is truly the heart of the Sacred Fox huji finally accepted the reality of the artifact before her for only by reaching the sacred Fox realm would the essence be so pure find a place to undergo the hard exchange but before that bring me some delicious food I am hungry and perhaps a bit of wine as well Wong tion instructed Hui simultaneously dissipating the enchanting pink light with their patriarch now loyal to him he deemed it appropriate to release the Sha clan members as the enchanting influence faded the Sham people gradually regained their senses save for Hussein who remained unconscious from Hui strike did our patriarch come to rescue us upon regaining Consciousness the Sham clan members instinctively looked to huji believing her to be their savior yet in their eyes the revered patriarch now bowed respectfully before their enemy yes I shall prepare for my Lord immediately huji responded promptly this scene left them all in stunned silence patriarch he is our enemy how can you refer to him as my Lord a female Clan member cried out in panic indeed patriarch what Merit does he possess to be deemed worthy of your reverence others echoed in dismay and their eyes their Chieftain was an exalted being how could she ever lower herself in servitude to others fellow Clans folk this is the sixth Prince he is not our enemy but rather Our Savior capable of leading us out of these mountains the fox princess proclaimed loudly raising the Sacred Heart of the fox high above her head this is the Sacred Heart granted to our shame tribe By His Highness with this treasure we the Sham tribe shall surely rise the rich and pure Aura of the fox Spirit instantly permeated the air leaving the members of the Sha tribe in awe as they beheld the Sacred Heart such pure Fox spirit Power Could This truly be the legendary Sacred Heart of the fox the Sham Clans folk began to stir with excitement they might doubt the words of others but they held unwavering faith in their Chieftain moreover the unprecedented purity of this Spirit energy was unlike anything they had ever countered we are willing to follow His Highness soon the members of the Sha tribe knelt in reverence their perceptions of Wong tion transformed entirely observing the kneeling Clans folk Wong tion nodded in satisfaction it was indeed a delightful surprise he silently expressed gratitude to Emperor Wong Chong for it was his steadfast decision to marry the mountain dwelling Fox spirit that enabled Wong tion to effortlessly command the Loyalty of the Sha tribe seeing her tribe kneel the fox princess stepped forward and also knelt before Wong tion solemnly declaring I the fox princess lead the Sham tribe and hereby pledge our loyalty to His Highness this Allegiance was different from before previously it was the fox princess pledging her personal loyalty to wongon whereas now she represented the entire sham tribe in their fty to him chapter 12 the moon Fox Pearl Wong tion regarded the Sham trib's loyalty with a nod of approval this marked his first acquisition of a personal faction albeit a modest one your highness may I have a glance at the pink stone you held earlier the fox princess hesitated momentarily but could not resist the inquiry this pink stone was of immense significance to their Fox Spirit Clan her decision to pledge allegiance to Wong tion was partly influenced by this very Stone are you referring to this Wong tion retrieved the two halves of the pink stone from his spatial realm as she sensed the stones intoxicating or up close the fox princess's expression shifted from disbelief to fervent excitement yes indeed your highness the pink Stone in your possession is the cherished Moon Fox pearl of our Fox Spirit Clan she exclaimed her delicate features Al light with enthusiasm the surrounding members of the Sham tribe upon hearing their leader proclaimed the stone as the moon Fox Pearl were similarly stirred this Pearl was the ultimate Treasure of their Clan symbolizing supreme authority akin to how a royal seal represents unparalleled Imperial power in that moment the Gaze of every sham member turned to Wong tion with newfound respect too wheeled the Moon Fox Pearl signified that he was The Sovereign of the entire Fox Spirit Clan even the recently awakened Fox San upon realizing that wongon possessed the moon Fox Pearl shed any animosity and immediately knelt before him his eyes filled with reverence the moon Fox Pearl this is the treasure for which our ancestors sacrificed a 100,000 Warriors upon uncovering the truth Wong tion could not help but gasp in astonishment he had never anticipated that this pink stone was the fabled moon Fox Pearl it was wellknown that Emperor Wong Chong had once dispatched an army of 500,000 to annihilate a medium-sized Nation for the sake of this very Pearl resulting in the loss of over a 100,000 soldiers yet how had the moon Fox Pearl come to be split in two after all it was renowned for its exceptional hardness a hint of confusion flickered in the fox princess's enchanting eyes Wong tion felt a tinge of embarrassment for it was he who had cleaved the moon Fox Pearl in two with the jurong sword had he known it was the treasured Moon Fox Pearl he would not have resorted to such Brute Force to split it Fox princess do you possess any means to restore the moon Fox Pearl wongon inquired gazing at the fox princess since the moon Fox Pearl held such significance for the fox Spirit Clan it was only natural to seek away to mend it the fox Spirit Clan was a substantial faction on tianin continent comprising five major tribes tianu juu Inu heu and Sham with a total population exceeding 10 million particularly the the U and jwu tribes were known for their intelligence and exceptional talents should he manage to subdue the entire Fox Spirit Clan won's influence would undoubtedly expand considerably let me think the fox princess furrowed her brow in contemplation before speaking perhaps the energy of moonstone could restore it Moonstone energy Wong tion raised an eyebrow he had heard of moonstone said to be a stone from the Moon either brought to tonan continent by Celestial beings or fallen from the Moon itself Moonstone possessed mysterious and unfathomable energy indeed the moon Fox Pearl was forged from the infusion of all Fox Spirit energy into Moonstone by the first generation Fox Immortal after their demise the fox princess continued after a brief pause utilizing Moonstone should indeed enable the restoration of the Moon Fox Pearl that makes sense wongon nodded in agreement feeling that the fox princess's reasoning was sound since the moon Fox Pearl was crafted from Moonstone it stood to reason that Moonstone energy could be employed for its restoration be why the way your highness may I inquire how the moon Fox Pearl came to be in two halves the hardness of moonstone is extraordinary and the moon Fox Pearl still retains the power left by the first generation Fox Immortal the fox princess posed her lingering question once more the hardness of moonstone ranked among the top 10 of all materials on tonen continent and combined with the strength of the first generation Fox Immortal it was entirely plausible for it to rank within the top three in terms of overall hardness thus it was indeed perplexing how such a resilient Moon Fox Pearl could be cleaved in Twain When I acquired it it was already in two halves Wong tion thought to himself unable to divulge that he had been the one to split it however he marveled at the jurong swords might which could effortlessly sever even the hard Moon Fox Pearl if we could possess the complete Moon Fox Pearl perhaps our shaay tribes ancestors would also choose to pledge allegiance to your highness and potentially other Fox Spirit tribes might consider doing the same the fox princess mused casting a regretful glance at the split Moon Fox Pearl her words prompted a twinge of regret in wongon however had he not cleaved the moon Fox Pearl he would not have been able to approach Emperor Wong chunk coffin so easily I will find a way to restore the moon Fox Pearl Wong tion resolved firmly and then instructed the fox princess please bring an ample supply of food and wine at least enough for 10 days Wong tion recalled an emperor of the Duan Dynasty who despite his mediocrity delighted in collecting Treasures from various regions among which Moonstone was included upon his death he had intended for these Treasures to accompany him in the afterlife although Wong tion had previously held little interest in burial Goods this time he was determined to take an interest furthermore this ancestor while lacking an innate Talent had frequently consumed rare Treasures thereby rising to the status of a first tier expert what wonders might he unearth from the remains of an expert forged from such Treasures Wong tion brimmed with anticipation as Don broke wongon stored the provisions and wine delivered by the Fox princess into his spatial realm a substantial Supply sufficient for 10 days ample time for him to engage in his Endeavors now that I have reached the seventh rank I should be able to enter the tomb of Emperor Wong how Wong tion traversed the Royal melum diligently searching for the spirit treasure Emperor the title of spirit treasure Emperor was bestowed upon Wong howu to the vast collection of treasures he amassed during his lifetime he had gathered an extraordinary array of spiritual Treasures encompassing everything imaginable it was said that he had collected so many Treasures that even in death he would likely possess an abundance surely it would not be unreasonable for him to acquire a few items Wong tion pondered inwardly previously Emperor Wong chunk coffin contained numerous burial Goods though most were more ornamental than useful I in contrast the treasures amassed by the spirit treasure Emperor were likely far more practical with some being so valuable that even experts would VI for them in the outside world as he contemplated Wong tion finally arrived at the of the spirit treasure Emperor's melum a grand Seiler of earthy yellow Hue impressive in scale yet slightly smaller than that of Emperor Wong Wang I required the dragon Aura of the seventh rank to gain entry fortunately I have reached the seventh rank otherwise I would not even be able to enter after taking a deep breath filled with anticipation Wong tion stepped inside the barrier of dragon Ora blocked his path but with the power of his seventh rank he successfully gained entry inside the melum he had to Traverse a long Corridor to reach the main hall glancing down at the corridor beneath his feet Wong tion was astonished to discover that it was laid with Priceless pearls and Jade an entire Corridor adorned with such opulence Heavens this entire Corridor is covered in pearls and Jade what a fortune this must be Wong tion marvelled at the Spirit treasure Emperor's undeniable fondness for riches even extending to the very flooring of the corridor upon traversing the corridor he finally reached the main hall of the spirit treasure Emperor's melum even before entering he could feel the rich spiritual energy emanating from within with such abundant spiritual energy how many Treasures must be contained inside brimming with anticipation Wong tion pushed open the grand doors of the main hall only to be met by a vibrant red figure rushing toward him chapter 13 capturing the stunning female puppet as soon as he pushed open the door Wong tion sensed danger approaching and instinctively raised his gaze before him stood a female puppet clad in a flowing red dress brandishing a long sword and charging at him though this puppet was crafted for mechanisms her movements were surprisingly Nimble and her Aura strikingly Fierce without a moment's hesitation Wong tion gripped the jurong sword tightly and advanced to meet her as their swords clashed a sharp sound rang out and a broken sword fell to the ground The Sword in the female puppet's hand had split in two and an expression of astonishment flickered in her gray eyes a te that moment wongon could not afford to dwell on the details seeing her weapon sh shattered he seized the opportunity to thrust forward the female puppet reacted swiftly retreating 10 Paces with ease deafly avoiding Wong tion strike this puppet is impressively quick possessing at least the strength of the sixth rank Wong tion infused the dragon energy into the juian sword remaining Vigilant against the movements of his opponent a puppet of the sixth rank was undoubtedly a supreme treasure and Wong tion could hardly believe that such a formidable Guardian could exist within the Earth and hued melum your sword is impressive your master will surely appreciate it the female puppet suddenly spoke her gaze fixed on the juen sword in Wong tion's hand referring to the deceased lingow Emperor Wong how this Revelation startled Wong tion who had initially assumed the female puppet was merely a Mindless battle mechanism to discover that she possessed sence indicated that her rank was indeed higher than he had anticipated the treasures collected by the lingow emperor were evidently Exquisite if even a puppet could exhibit sence and understand the preferences of its master it was indeed worthy of being subdued Wong tion felt a desire to conquer her generally puppets endowed with cence could have their powers enhanced through special techniques and with proper training they could even be developed into first rank Masters such a puppet would be exceptionally formidable cackling the female puppet emitted a chilling laughter before hurling a broken sword towards Wong tion he merely tilted his head slightly and effortlessly evaded the blade but when he turned back he was horrified to find that the female puppet had vanished from sight where did she go Wong tion scanned his surroundings but found no trace of her an unsettling premonition creeping over him suddenly the Shadows before him twisted and the female puppet emerged silently from his own shadow launching a surprise attack fortunately with the dragon bone granting him heightened perception Wong tion swung the juen sword at her the moment she appeared with a swift pu the sharp light of the sword severed the puppet's right arm however the female puppet showed no no sign of pain instead using her left hand to strike with renewed Vigor Wong tion deafly Sid stepped the punch and countered with another cut severing her left arm as well then kicked her away with considerable Force sending her sprawling several meters cackling the female puppet quickly sprang back to her feet her mechanical Visage not betraying fear but rather emitting that disconcerting laughter once more her two severed arms concealed by her laughter silently flew back into action aiming to ambush wongon from behind realizing how Troublesome this puppet was wongon stealed his resolve if he did not incapacitate her he would not be able to subdue her he then poured all his dragon energy into the juian sword causing its song to reverberate throughout the melum juian sword Swift as Wang tion swung the sword countless sword energies erupted forth like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms the two arms attempting to Ambush him were instantly shredded by the sword energy while the female puppet before him was cleaved into several segments her head and feet separated cackling even in this state her head lying on the ground continued to emit that haunting laughter unable to endure any longer Wang tion rushed over and slapped her face enough with the cackling you seem indifferent to whether others can bear it or not if you make that noise again I will shatter your head and obliterate your sence surprisingly this threat struck a cord the puppet as sence resided within her head as long as her sensient persisted her mechanical body could be reconstituted but if her sensient were extinguished she would be truly finished very well from now on I shall be your master upon noticing her silence Wong tion let out a quiet sigh of relief the previous sword strike had drained him of all his dragon energy and strength if the puppet had retaliated he would have been defenseless subsequently Wong tion opened the back of the puppet's head and retrieved a dragon Stone from within this Dragon Stone served as the energy source for the mechanical puppet without it even a cient puppet would be unable to unleash any abilities this particular Dragon Stone had existed for over a thousand years and was nearly depleted had it been fully charged Wong tion would have found it impossible to defeat the female puppet so easily he took out two dragon stones from his system space relics from the melum of Emperor Wong Guang and dripped his blood onto each of them ensuring that the puppet would recognize him as her master after completing this ritual he inserted the two dragon stones into the puppet's head upon receiving the energy from the two blood infused Dragon Stones the puppet's gray pupils suddenly sparkled with a glimmer of sentence and her previously shredded body began to reconstitute at a visible Pace Wong tion did not interfere with her reconstruction he stood by quietly observing after 2 hours had passed the puppet's body was fully reformed appearing more agile than before her exterior bearing an even closer resemblance to that of a human if one did not scrutinize closely it would be impossible to discern whether she was a puppet or a real woman her skin was fair and smooth devoid of any mechanical seams resembling a living person her figure had also become more graceful with every detail of her form appearing strikingly lifelike most notably her gray eyes had transformed into a deep black imbued with an enchanting Spirit reminiscent of a lively young girl such a profound transformation astonished Wong tion her power had indeed ascended to the fifth Rank and her appearance had metamorphosed to that of a human such Exquisite craftsmanship and puppet making could only be attributed to the legendary Master Lan Wong tion was taken aback the mere addition of a single Dragon Stone had enabled the puppet to immediately transcend a rank if he were to add a few more Dragon Stones would this female puppet not evolve into an ethereal beauty master Thank You for Your Dragon Stone energy the female puppet now fully recognizing wongon as her master expressed her gratitude with a graceful B a te this moment she stood unclothed her body details so closely resembling those of a human that it was difficult to avert one's gaze from now on you shall be called shiau go find something to wear Wong tion surveyed her with satisfaction contemplating how he could procure even more powerful Dragon stones in the future to enhance her further thank you master shunu replied her voice now imbued with sweetness further solidifying Wong tion's intention to upgrade her capabilities soon sha knew ad deply located a pression green gown within the melum which accentuated her beauty making her appear as a paragon of Grace Shia knew having resided in this mosum for so many years do you know where I might find a moonstone wongon glanced around observing the countless burial items scattered throughout the melum gold silver jewels and tis Scrolls Elixir talismans manuals and weapons to it would take considerable time to sift through all these Treasures in search of a moonstone so he decided to seek Sha assistant having lived here for over a thousand years she would be well acquainted with her surroundings Master the moonstone is located within the casket of the lingbo emperor shiau respectfully replied Wong tion nodded in understanding the Moonstone was far more precious than the treasures within the melum and it would only be fitting that it was interred alongside the emperor I should have anticipated that such a valuable item would not be found among the Treasures of the Great Hall gripping the juen sword tightly he prepared to open the casket B based on past experiences the higher the rank of the melum the more formidable the dragon patterned energy guarding the coffin sha new please open the casket Wong tion remained cautious intending for the female puppet to take the lead ensuring that any potential dangers would be met with her protection Yes master shiau nodded before proceeding towards the casket in the center of the hall Wong tion followed closely behind gripping the juen sword firmly while staying alert to his surroundings soon shiau reached the casket and as she approached a surge of earn colored energy erupted from the coffin manifesting as a massive earn dragon that surged towards her cackling instead of showing fear shiau revealed her signature smile and then clenched her fists striking the Earth and dragon with tremendous Force I in an instant the dragon dissipated into nothingness while shiau maintained her characteristic smile not even flinching impressive Wong tion had expected shiau to at least sustain some injury but the reality was that he had underestimated her power after her Evolution she now possessed strength comparable to a fourth rank master had he faced the current version of sha new earlier he would have had no chance of Victory the puppets crafted by Master Luan were indeed formidable after dispelling the dragon patterned energy sha new did not pause instead she grasped the coffin lid with both hands and began to heave it open Wong tion stood by observing the seemingly delicate sha new exerting herself to lift the coffin lid reminiscent of Lind Dau pulling up a Willow Branch with a tearing sound although the coffin lid was sturdy it could not withstand shu's Relentless efforts and soon signs of loosening appeared after persisting for half a stick of incense the lid was finally cast aside by Sha new the lingbo emperor would never have imagined that the very puppet meant to guard his tomb would ultimately be the one to unveil his coffin Master the coffin is now open the moonstone is right here sha new announced as she turned her head you have worked hard Wong tion nodded in satisfaction and approached the coffin peering inside the sight that greeted him made him gasp in astonishment within the casket lay a myriad of highquality treasures moonstones Dragon Stones Dragon pearls nine colored corals unique Toms and more each one worth of Fortune yet the lingow Emperors coff and housed an abundance of them these Treasures encircled the remains of the lingow emperor arranged in a dazzling display that left one breathless had the Ling bow Emperor amassed all these rare Treasures during his lifetime to accompany him in death as the Wong tion was accustomed to rare Treasures yet he found himself utterly captivated by the scene before him among the Myriad of Exquisite artifacts his gaze was immediately drawn to a singular purple hair pin this hair pin was the only possession grasped in the skeletal hand of the lingow emperor while the other Treasures lay scattered around the presence of this purple hairpin in the grip of the lingow emperor suggested its significant importance to him instinctively Wong tion reached out to delicately extract The Hairpin from the emperor's bone bony fingers it was astonishingly cold emanating a chilling Aura upon holding it Wong tion realized that the hair pin indeed radiated an icy coldness fortunately his strength had already reached the seventh tier or he might have been harmed by its frigid energy the craftsmanship of the purple hairpin was Exquisite and translucent adorned with a carving of a phoenix its feathers were so lifelike that they seemed poised to take flight the Phoenix's eyes sparkled with an enigmatic Brilliance evoking thoughts of legendary Divine artifacts the lines of the hairpins body flowed gracefully with intricate carvings that left one in awe every detail had been meticulously sculpted bringing the Phoenix to Vivid life after examining it for a considerable time without discernable Insight wongon decided to seek the assistance of shunu shunu do you know the origin of this purple hair pin he inquired as a guardian puppet of the lingbo emperor she was likely to possess some knowledge this appears to be the ice Phoenix hairpin since I gained consciousness I have often seen my former Master lost in thought while holding it to it is said to have belonged to the cold concubine xanu replied after a glance at the purple hair pin ice Phoenix hairpin cold concubine wongon rifle threw his memories for information on the cold concubine and suddenly a poignant Love Story flashed in his mind the cold concubine was the daughter of the king of bong and a bid to stabilize the bong Kingdom the Ling bow Emperor married her although it was a political union he lavished her with affection even even gifting her all the treasures he had amassed the cold concubine was 10 years younger than the lingow emperor initially reluctant she gradually fell in love with him due to his devoted affection however fate took a cruel turn when the cold concubine's father the king of baong staged a rebellion amassing troops and colluding with foreign forces to overthrow the great Chen Dynasty the lingbo emperor with no other choice personally LED his troops against baang upon learning of this news the cold concubine hastened to the front lines under the cover of night torn between her beloved husband and her own father she could not remain passive too prevent the impending Bloodshed the cold concubine tragically took her own life on the battlefield her sacrifice spared countless innocence in baong both the king of baong and the lingow emperor were devastated by her death leading them to cease hostilities yet Upon returning to the Palace the Ling bow Emperor fell into a deep depression and not long after he succumbed to his Sorrows among the vast Waters I seek but a single scoop Wong tion mused reflecting on the fate of the Lovick Emperor he then placed the ice Phoenix hair pin upon shiau head the icy Aura bestowed upon her an Air of ethereal Elegance strangely this ice Phoenix hairpin suits you well xu. I wonder if you can harness the extreme cold energy contained within it Wang tion felt a swell of anticipation as a low-grade extreme cold artifact if XU could wield its powers her combat abilities would surely Ascend to new heights I have witnessed witnessed my former Master wield this ice Phoenix hairpin with ease Shu remarked effortlessly summoning forth The Frigid energy which coalesced into a petite blue ice Phoenix in her hand causing the surrounding temperature to plummet several degrees Wong tion's eyes sparkled with delight if shiau could manipulate the ice Phoenix hairpin it indicated her potential to command other Treasures as well truly she was a puppet crafted by the master Craftsman luban excellent XU this ice Phoenix hair pin is yours now with a grand gesture he bestowed the precious artifact upon her next Wong tion turned his attention to the other Treasures within the coffin the Moonstone was a necessity for restoring the moon Fox Pearl the dragon Stone would enhance shu's strength further the Dragon Pearl was the perfect supplement for cultivating dragon energy an invaluable asset for his own Ascension without hesitation he stored these three items in his system space. for the remaining Treasures Wong tion began to sift through them the foaming sword konon mirror and wind and thunder fan were all low-g grade artifacts and he unhesitatingly claimed them as well however items like the multicolored Coral night Pearl an eight treasure glass Pagoda while valuable offered little utility in terms of strength enhancement or combat thus Wong tion showed no interest in acquiring them what remained were some rare TS and a painting Wong tion casually picked up the painting and cautiously unfolded it as if unveiling a precious treasure the artwork depicted an enchanting woman breathtakingly beautiful pla in a flowing white gown that billowed like a Celestial being descending to Earth her figure was graceful and ethereal with her long dark hair cascading like a waterfall exuding a delicate charm adorning one side of her hair was a purple hair pin enhancing her mysterious and Noble demeanor rendering her utterly captivating upon seeing the purple hair pin at top the figure's head Wong tion's eyes widened in recognition could this be the portrait of the cold concubine he scrutinized the painting more closely and to his astonishment he noted the Striking resemblance between the cold concubine and XU placing the painting beside shiau for comparison the similarities became increasingly evident the figure in the painting bore an uncanny likeness to XU with identical features and proportions were it not for XU standing beside him wongon might have believed the painting depicted her suddenly a thought struck him xunu since gaining Consciousness have you ever encountered the cold concubine no I have only seen my former Master XU replied shaking her head upon hearing her response wongon felt as though his suspicions were confirmed I understand now after the cold concubine s death the lingow emperor overwhelmed by longing for his beloved commissioned Master lubon to create you in her likeness however as a mechanical puppet you are not truly human despite having gained Consciousness you are not the cold concubine he cherished which ultimately led to his untimely demise all conjectures converged seamlessly leaving wongon and in a contemplative state so I was indeed crafted in the image of the cold concubine xanu too came to comprehend her own Origins yet as a mechanical puppet she accepted this reality swiftly expressing gratitude toward her former Master without him shiau would not exist as she did now now it is time to examine the remains of the lingal emperor Wong tion declared though his talent was mediocre he had consumed numerous elixirs achieving Mastery through the aid of potions what Treasures might he un cover from his remains with eager anticipation Wong tion slowly extended his hand toward the Ling bow Emperor's corpse and upon contact the systems voice echoed in his mind ding congratulations host you have touched a low-grade corpse you have obtained chapter 15 The Fox Immortal within the moon Fox Pearl ding congratulations host you have touched a low-grade corpse you have obtained a breakthrough pill upon hearing that it was a breakthrough pill wongon felt an overwhelming surge of joy the Breakthrough pill was a superior grade Elixir more potent than top tier spiritual pills for cultivators below the third tier consuming this pill would enable them to instantly break through their bottlenecks many cultivators might find themselves trapped at a particular stage for their entire lives but with the Breakthrough pill they could transcend these limitations such was the Marvel of the Breakthrough pill indeed the treasures extracted from a master cultivated through Elixir were extraordinary Wong tion was thoroughly pleased with this reward yet he decided again against using the Breakthrough pill immediately since it was effective for those below the third tier he planned to maximize its benefits by consuming it at the Pinnacle of the fourth tier after storing the Breakthrough pill wongon resumed his search for rare Toms within the Ling bow Emperor's coffin the treasures designated for burial alongside the lingbo emperor were undoubtedly remarkable however Wong tion recognized the Folly of greed and selected only the most esteemed martial arts manual among them The Nine Dragons p. was said that this technique was created by the first Emperor and at its peak one could unleash nine streams of dragon energy with a single Palm strike wielding extraordinary power yet throughout history even the most talented Royal Offspring could only manage to manifest seven streams of dragon energy Wong tion had long desired to master this exclusive Royal martial art but his previous lack of talent had barred him from its practice now he was free to train without reservations how many streams of dragon energy could he unleash filled with anticipation Wong tion opened the manual and began to practice on the spot following the instructions he circulated the dragon energy through several key acupuncture points gradually his body began to warm particularly at the dragon bone along his spine which radiated warmth and filled him with Vigor it seemed he was on the right track now he would attempt to unleash a palm strike Wong tion set the manual aside concentrating all his dragon energy into his right hand and tentatively executed a palm strike instantly nine streams of dragon energy erupted as nine golden dragons surged forth traveling 30 m before dissipating witnessing this spectacle left Wong tion utterly dumbfounded in a way I merely attempted a casual strike and I Unleashed nine streams of dragon energy wasn't he this martial art supposed to be incredibly difficult to master throughout the past 10,000 years countless Royal descendants struggled to achieve nine streams of dragon energy yet I managed it so effortlessly Wong tion was left in a state of bewilderment pondering the reason behind this phenomenon could it be due to my dragon bone after much contemplation he concluded that this was indeed the only plausible explanation the nine Dragon Palm is not as challenging to master as I initially imagined once I elevate my cultivation to a few more levels the power of the nine Dragon Palm will be even more formidable Wong tion felt immense satisfaction with the potency of this Marshall a r t. it was the first Royal Marshall skill he had truly mastered after practicing the nine Dragon Palm Wong tion tossed the foaming sword to Shu previously her sword had been severed by her own juicen sword and this foaming sword was now perfectly suited for her use thank you master shunu exclaimed at as she received the foaming sword and waved it around she instantly became enamored with it be why the way sha new I have a dragon stone for you stand still and don't move I will attach it for you Wong tion retrieved a dragon Stone from the system space this Dragon Stone had been acquired from the coffin of the lingow emperor and had remained in used for Linea brimming with energy even more abundant than the previous two dragon Stones although the dragon Stone could assist Wong tion in his cultivation utilizing it for sha newu was a more cost-effective option since shiau was his puppet slave her enhanced strength would indirectly bolster Wong tion's combat capabilities all right master I want T move shunu replied excitedly standing perfectly still at the prospect of receiving the dragon Stone Wong tion wasted no time after dripping a drop of blood onto the dragon Stone he opened a section of sha new skull and inserted the blood infused Dragon Stone as soon as the dragon Stone was placed inside a rich surge of energy C through her body initiating another Evolution her skin hair eyes and facial features transformed to resemble those of a human even surpassing human Beauty her skin was as white and delicate as milk soft and seemingly fragile Point 3,000 silken strands of hair cascaded down her back like a flowing waterfall her eyes sparkled with Vitality reminiscent of stars in the night sky radiant and mesmerizing akin to Morning Dew crystal clear and translucent her face was even more enchanting resembling a meticulously crafted artwork breathtakingly beautiful Wang tion gazed at shiau feeling as if the cold concubine from a millennium ago had stepped out of a painting her beauty was astounding no wonder the lingbo emperor was utterly captivated by her moreover shanu not only became more beautiful on the outside but also experienced a significant enhancement in her strength now approaching the prowess of a third grade expert however once the energy of the Dragon Stone was depleted her strength would correspondingly diminish highlighting the evident shortcomings of a puppet remarkable three dragon stones have allowed you to metamorphose into a third grade expert Wong tion remarked surveying Shaun new with satisfaction with such a beautiful puppet by his side his days in the Royal tomb would be anything but lonely he even contemplated collecting more Dragon stones in the future enabling Shia new to become even more Exquisite and Powerful having completed this wongon retrieved a moon stone from the system space for this visit to the lingow emperor s melum was specifically to acquire this Moonstone with the moonstone in hand it was time to repair the moon Fox Pearl wongon did not waste any time and took out the moon Fox Pearl which he had previously split in two how do I go about repairing this is it simply a matter of merging the energy Wong tion pondered momentarily at a loss ultimately he decided to attempt izing Dragon shei to activate the moon stone as soon as he did the moon stone emitted a dazzling Moon white light resembling a brilliant Pearl shimmering in the darkness under the radiance the energy of the moon stone overflowed like a subtle current quietly flowing out there's a reaction Wong tion exclaimed joyfully upon seeing the Moonstone respond he then guided the moon white energy into the moon Fox Pearl using his dragon qi. as the energy from the Moonstone infused into the moon Fox Pearl it emitted an enchanting pink glow and the two halves of the Pearl began to draw closer together akin to two magnets of opposite polarity Wong tion was overjoyed at this sight and intensified his efforts to channel the energy from the Moonstone accelerating the fusion of the Moon Fox Pearl time passed and at the moment the moon Fox Pearl fully merged a surge of pink energy erupted from it swiftly coalescing into an ethereal Fox this fox was entirely Snow White imbued with an aura of celestial energy though it was merely an energy manifestation without a physical form wong tion was taken aback how could there be a fox within the moon Fox Pearl however as he noticed the Wisps of celestial energy surrounding the fox an idea struck him could this be the first generation of fox Immortals infused within the moon Fox Pearl he recalled the words of the fox lady who had mentioned that the moon Fox Pearl contained The Power of their Clan's first generation of fox Immortals faded one this is The Last Remnant of my soul left in the world the energy formed Fox immortal suddenly spoke a deep alluring male voice resonating it seemed to be a male Fox Immortal who are you why does a Remnant Soul linger within the moon Fox Pearl wongon instinctively inquired I was the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox cultivating for 3,000 years to attain the realm of celestial immortality commanding a 100,000 Fox demons alas I was betrayed by my beloved dying with resentment my physical body sealed away in the moonfall valley the ancestor of the heavenly Fox's tone was Heavy with bitterness and unfulfilled desires indeed it was the first generation Fox Immortal yet his words left Wong tion profoundly shocked a first generation Fox Immortal betrayed by the woman he loved this Revelation was staggering are you sharing this with me because you seek my assistance wongon sensed the resentment and longing in the fox Immortal ass voice clearly implying a desire for help you are astute I shall be direct that I wish for you to avenge Me by slaying the nine-tailed Heavenly Fox demon you and simultaneously help me remove the seal on my physical body allowing me to reincarnate as he spoke of the Betrayal the fox Immortals voice turned filled with profound hatred Not only was he betrayed but his physical body was also sealed condemning his soul to Eternal unrest Wong tion inhaled sharply the nine-tailed Heavenly Fox you is far too formidable I am merely at the seventh grade realm while she is at least a first grade expert I stand no chance against her his word reflected the star reality Beyond her Superior strength she belonged to the nine-tailed Clan making her an insurmountable opponent for him at this time alas thousands of years have passed whether she still exists is uncertain yet I can feel my physical form remains bound the fox Immortal side his tone steeped in the weight of time the thought of his Nemesis possibly having succumbed to the ravages of time filled him with a profound sense of loss and regret for not being able to avenge himself Wong tion's eyes suddenly brighten with with realization the moon Fox Pearl had existed for several Millennia although you was a nine-tailed fox her lifespan was not infinite it was highly probable that she had already perished I can assist you in removing the seal on your physical form but what s in it for me Wong tion contemplated aloud if the task merely involved removing the physical seal it posed little danger and he might even access the fox Immortals remains an extraordinary entity indeed I can teach you how to truly wield the moon Fox Pearl the fox Immortal rep lied earnestly truly wield the moon Fox Pearl Beyond its ability to enchant does it possess other remarkable uses won's interest was peaked this treasure was the ultimate artifact of the fox demon Clan akin to the Supreme Imperial seal and he had long suspected it held more than Mir aure indeed the moon Fox Pearl is a piece of the purest moon stone eye brought down from the Moon it possesses mysterious abilities not found in the tonan continent it is through the mysterious powers of this Moon Fox Pearl that I managed to retain a sliver of my soul the fox Immortal explained Gravely this Revelation further intrigued wangon abilities unknown to the tonin continent were indeed impressive pray enlighten me about the mysterious abilities of the Moon Fox Pearl Wong tion urged his curiosity fully ignited chapter 16 the ancestor of mountain charm this Moon Fox Pearl can flee infinitely far under the Moonlight as long as your dragon Chi is sufficient the fox Immortal paused then continued furthermore the moon Fox Pearl contains my fox Immortal s energy I can teach you the incantations allowing you to harness my power with your human form the power of the fox Immortal is significantly stronger than your current dragon shei even when facing a first grade expert you could contend using my fox Immortal as strength however the fox Immortal energy I left within the moon Fox Pearl is finite once it is exhausted it will be gone the fox Immortal was candid outlining both the advantages and limitations Wong tion understood that the Fox Immortal truly sought his help the confinement of his physical form and the inability to reincarnate caused him considerable anguish very well I can assist you in removing the seal on your physical form but when I can fulfill that promise remains uncertain Wong tion decided agreeing to help both the ability to escape infinitely under Moonlight and to borrow the power of the fox Immortal would greatly enhance his combat prowess thank you the fox Immortal responded visibly relieved however you must first teach me these two abilities wongon insisted of course but once I impart these abilities to you I will fall into a long Slumber when I awaken it may be the moment my physical form is unsealed or perhaps I may never awaken again I entrust everything to you henceforth the fox Immortal declared after uttering these words he used the last of his strength to shoot a beam of energy from his forehead striking Wong tion's forehead. in an instant wongon comprehended the two abilities of manipulating the moon Fox Pearl the capacity for moonlight escape and the borrowing of of the fox Immortal s strength excellent Wong tion was pleased with these new found abilities when he turned to look for the fox Immortal again he found that he had vanished presumably succumbing to sleep reflecting on the Deeds of the fox Immortal Wong ton cud and T help but draw parallels to his own experiences weren't they quite similar betrayed by the very woman he trusted Wong tion could not help but clench his fists at the thought a glimmer of murderous intent flashing in his eyes point one day once he had honed his skills he would undoubtedly repay this humiliation a h hundredfold after resolving this matter Wong tion accompanied by his small servant made his way out of the melum having lingered here for so long he had already extracted all that he could it was time to depart upon exiting the melum Wong tion intended to return to his humble abode to continue his training only to find a familiar figure awaiting him Fox princess what brings you here is there some urgent matter wongon inquired lexed previously he and the fox princess had made an arrangement for her to deliver Provisions every 10 days should there be pressing matters she was welcome to seek him out at any time since he had only spent 3 days within the Imperial melum it was not yet time for the food delivery leading him to suspect that she must have come for something urgent your highness our Clan's ancestor wishes to see you the fox princess replied with palpable excitement your ancestor wishes to meet me where Wong tion suddenly recalled that the fox princess had mentioned taking him to meet their Clan's ancestor but he had not expected it to happen so soon fortunately his Moon Fox Pearl had been restored it is located within the Eastern Hills of the Imperial melum that is also the ancestral ground of our clan the fox princess continued the ancestor has made a special trip from Jang Nan to meet you in the moon Fox Pearl as she places great importance on this matter with the moon Fox Pearl in your possession your highness the ancestor will surely pledge her loyalty to you the fox princess said with Innocent optim ISM in her view the moon Fox Pearl was an invaluable Treasure of the fox demon Clan and anyone who beheld it would choose to swear Allegiance however wongon was not so optimistic although the moon Fox Pearl represented the Clan's treasure loyalty ultimately depended on One's Own Strength just like the Imperial seal which symbolizes Royal Authority without the strength to wield it others would rush to seize it I shall freshen up first take me to see her after the sun sets Wong tion said glancing up at the Sky I was evening and the moon had yet to rise should danger arise he would be unable to utilize his moonlit escape this decision was made purely for precaution a commoner may be innocent yet possessing a treasure can invite Peril currently he was merely at the seventh rank while the ancestor of the mountain charm Clan was at least at the second rank if she truly sought to snatch the moon Fox Pearl from him he might find himself at a disadvantage thus devising a foolproof plan was essential before meeting her very well I shall wait for you outside the Imperial melum the fox princess nodded Wong tion unhurried returned to his modest dwelling to wash his face before sitting cross-legged on the rickety wooden bed patiently awaiting Sunset after 2 hours the Sun finally dipped below the Horizon the sky darkening and the moon appearing partially veiled like a peepa Wong tion opened his eyes knowing it was time to act yet he prudently kept the small servant by his side though she was merely a puppet her combat prowess was comparable to that of a third rank expert she could prove invaluable in a critical moment under the guidance of the fox princess wongon stepped into the dappled Moonlight and exited the Imperial melum swiftly arriving at the nearby Eastern Hill where a large cave was illuminated within guarded by members of the mountain charm Clan your highness this is the ancestral ground of our clan the ancestor awaits you inside the fox princess joyfully LED Wong tion towards the cave Wong tion glanced at the mountain charm CL members outside all of whom exuded vitality and strength clearly seasoned Warriors upon entering the cave he discovered a spacious interior exceeding 100 square m furnished with some rudimentary furniture at te the far end sat an elderly woman frail and stooped leaning on a cane her face marked by deep wrinkles since Wong tion's entrance her murky gaze had been fixed upon him as if she intended to devour him whole though she soon suppressed this menacing Aura ancestor the sixth Prince has arrived the fox princess announced bringing wongon before the ancestor sixth Prince the old woman pays her respects the mountain charm ancestor trembled as she Rose from her chair offering Wong tion a somewhat lackluster bow although wongon had been relegated to the Imperial melum he still held the title of Prince compelling the mountain charm ancestor to show him respect despite her Superior strength please rise grandmother Wong tion gestured dismissively maintaining the Forum was still necessary I have heard from the fox princess that you possess our fox demon Clan treasured Moon Fox Pearl may I have a look the mountain charm ancestor upon standing eagerly requested to see the moon Fox Pearl neglecting any small talk though not misunderstand it is simply that the moon Fox Pearl is of utmost importance to our clan she added that it's quite all right I understand the moon Fox Pearl is right here with me allow me to present it to you Wong tion replied as he retrieved the restored Moon Fox Pearl from his system space a soft pink light emanated from the Pearl upon witnessing the restored Moon Fox Pearl the fox princess was both astonished and Overjoyed she had feared that the damaged Pearl would disappoint the ancestor but now she could rest easy a complete Moon Fox Pearl would surely compel the ancestor to pledge her loyalty to the sixth Prince however the reality was far from that upon seeing the intact Moon Fox Pearl the previously murky eyes of the mountain charm ancestor suddenly sparkled with intensity chapter 17 the ancestors shock the emergence of the Moon Fox Pearl sent the mountain charm ancestor into a state of trembling excitement a treasure of the fox demon clan that had been lost for over a millennium had resurfaced sixth Prince my old eyes are dim may I come closer to observe the mountain charm ancestor trembled as she stood her clouded eyes betraying a flicker of Brilliance of course Wong tion replied having sense something unusual about the mountain charm ancestor he was curious to see how long she would maintain her facade he possessed the fox fairy abilities imparted to him by the fox fairy which would be useful against the mountain charm ancestor with her permission granted the mountain charm ancestor approached wongon her frail form leaning closer to the Moon Fox Pearl what a rich essence of fox fairy energy the mysterious energy of the Moonstone This truly is our fox demon Clan's treasure she murmured her eyes fixated on the moon Fox Pearl her body quaking uncontrollably her breath quickening ancestor did I not tell you I was not deceiving you the sixth Prince truly possesses the moon Fox Pearl the fox princess exclaimed with great excitement then added ancestor with the sixth Prince holding the moon Fox Pearl he is the rightful Sovereign of our fox demon Clan our Mountain charm lineage has already chosen to pledge loyalty to him and you should too before the fox princess could finish her sentence the ancestor interrupted her sharply What a fine Sovereign of the fox demons how can he a mere human claim to be our Clan's ruler the mountain charm ancestors tone turned cold her demeanor shifting from amiable to stern hearing this the fox princess's expression changed while Wong tion remained composed fully aware that this old woman would not easily capitulate though the sixth Prince is not of the fox demon Clan he is a prince of noble birth and possesses the moon Fox Pearl making him the prime candidate to lead our clan the fox princess argued perplexed yet her reasoning was met with derision from the mountain charm ancestor what Noble birth he is merely a discarded Prince of the melum she scoffed then called out loudly come forth at her command for members of the mountain charm Clan entered the cave Two Men and two women two at the third Rank and two at the fourth rank all trusted confidence brought from jongan by the mountain charm ancestor ancestor what is your intent the fox princess inquired alarmed having reported the existence of the Moon Fox Pearl to the ancestor she had hoped to align her with the sixth Prince only to find her plans utterly thwarted my intent is clear I believe the sixth Prince Unworthy of becoming the leader of our fox demon Clan the mountain charm ancestor declared with a malevolent glint in her eyes then turned her gaze to wongon her voice cold and threatening sixth Prince if you hand over the moon Fox Pearl willingly I shall allow you to leave otherwise do not blame me for my lack of courtesy as she spoke she slammed her cane down creating a crater in the ground a demonstration of her strength and resolve are you attempting to seize my moon Fox Pearl wongon retorted with a cold smile sensing the impending danger the small servant Drew her sword and stood protectively before wongon the fox princess alarmed rushed to interpose herself between the mountain charm ancestor and Wong tion ancestor he is the sixth Prince his status is too esteemed for us to offend she urged in a panic just a discarded Prince what of it in this desolate Wilderness should I kill him the royal family would have no means to seek retribution the mountain charm ancestor dismissed the fox princess pushing her aside she then turned her gaze back to wongon sixth Prince you are a clever man if you wish to avoid death hand over the moon Fox Pearl at once and if I refuse wongon replied a slight smirk gracing his lips he had come prepared for this encounter despite his current inability to best the mountain charm ancestor he had just learned to harness the power of the fox fairy although it consumed energy it was sufficient to deal with the old woman before him then you shall incur my wrath eliminate him the mountain charm ancestor commanded her four confidence at her order the four Mountain charm experts lunged towards Wong tion unfazed the small servant brandished her sword to meet them while the fox princess realizing the danger wongon faced Drew her weapon and charged forward I in an instant the two women stood defiantly against the four Mountain charm experts the fox princess originally at the fourth rank had recently broken through to the third rank with the blessing of the Holy Fox heart her combat prowess now far exceeding that of a typical third rank fighter although sha is but a puppet after Dawning three dragon Stones her combat prowess can rival that of a third tier Warrior furthermore her foaming sword is a weapon of Earthly rank significantly augmenting her battle capabilities in a two against four scenario they managed to hold their ground for a short while however as time progressed sha new's combat Effectiveness began to wne rapidly each attack she launched required energy from the dragon stones and over time this would inevitably diminish her strength this was Dire XA was Ill suited for a prolonged battle wangon discerned her vulnerability a that moment a formidable Mountain charm expert seized the opportunity presented by Sha new's waning power and circled around her to launch an assault on wongon just what he needed with no Avenue to exhibit his prowess Wong tion seeing the adversary approaching summoned his dragon energy and struck out with a palm yes he Unleashed his attack nine streams of golden dragon energy transformed into n colossal golden dragons hurtling towards the mountain charm Warrior the latter taken aback by Wong tion's Swift reaction found it too late to defend himself the nine golden dragons struck him squarely in the chest the sheer force propelled him backward crashing violently against the stone wall of the cave creating a slight indentation and upon falling to the ground he spat out a mouthful of blood before losing Consciousness this scene left all onlookers dumbfounded particularly the mountain charm matriarch who had initially deemed the sixth Prince to be a lowly talentless wail however the Display of Power he exhibited astonished her the nine Dragon Palm he had actually Unleashed nine streams of dragon energy the mountain charm matriarch gaped in disbelief the nine Dragon Palm was a technique exclusive to the royal family and having lived over a century she had certainly encountered it before yet she had never witnessed a royal Offspring truly manifesting nine streams of dragon energy through it the other observers were equally taken aback by Wong tion's formidable technique instinctively halting their actions Master are you all right it is entirely my fault for not protecting you adequately shunu expressed her remorse I am fine it was an opportune moment to stretch my limbs Wong tion replied pleased with the might of the nine Dragon Palm although he was merely a seventh tier Warrior the power of the nine Dragon Palm had knocked out a fourth tier Mountain charm expert while the surprise element played a roll it nonetheless highlighted the technique's formidable nature truly a Peerless martial art crafted by the Emperor your highness is that the nine Dragon Palm fox g exclaimed a mixture of astonishment and joy evident in her voice previously she had thought the sixth Prince not to be the waste as rumored but now she believed he was not only far from being a waste but perhaps a genius as well throughout the Millennia who among the countless Royal Offspring could execute the nine Dragon Palm with nine streams of dragon energy only the sixth Prince could claim such a feat indeed it is our Royal Family's exclusive Ive technique the nine Dragon Palm Wong tion affirmed with a nod before casting his gaze upon the mountain charm matriarch old hag do you wish to continue the term old hag incensed the mountain charm matriarch causing her to grip her cane tightly although she had recognized that the sixth Prince was not the waist the tales described the Allure of the Moon Fox Pearl prompted her to take a risk the rumors about the sixth Prince being a waste are rather unconvincing the ability to execute the nine Dragon Palm with nine streams of dragon energy certainly qualifies as genius she stated only to abruptly shift her tone however regardless of your talent you must surrender the moon Fox Pearl today with that declaration her Aura surged overwhelming the others with an oppressive Force Elder do you truly intend to strike against His Highness fox g implored her concern palpable The Matriarch was at the Pinnacle of the second tier a level that they three could not hope to contend with them why Mind Is Made Up if you wish to live step aside the Mountain charm matriarch retorted raising her can menacingly towards Wong tion a palpable blood lust emanating from her wongon undeterred met her gaze headon while his mind raced to devise a countermeasure given that the opponent was at the peak of the second tier even if they managed to struggle through the outcome could well be mutually destructive moreover the cave was teeming with the matriarchs Loyalists should he avoid direct confrontation he could utilize the moon Fox Pearl's ability to escape under the cover of moonlight in assuring his own Survival but what if sha knew and fox g leaving them behind could expose them to the matriarch's Wrath thus he was left with but one option Wong tion directed his gaze towards the moon Fox Pearl in his hand only by harnessing the power of the fox Immortal could he hope to confront this elder directly without hesitation he closed his eyes and recited the incantation taught to him by the fox Immortal as the incantation flowed from his lips the moon Fox Pearl and Wong tion's body radiated a silvery white light resonating in Harmony in the Ethereal mysterious power of the fox Immortal enveloped him transforming him into a veritable embodiment of the fox Immortal Wong tion felt an inexhaustible strength coursing through him as though he could shatter the cave with a single punch I this the power of the fox Immortal confidence surged within him come if you wish to die Wong tion suddenly opened his eyes a glimmer of fox Immortal energy flashing within them the mountain charm matriarch's countenance shifted drastically upon witnessing the emergence the fox Immortal power from wongon how is this possible you are clearly human how can you possess the power of the fox Immortal she trembled not from excitement but from Fear the power of the fox Immortal was a manifestation reserved for Fox demons who had ascended to the celestial realm throughout the history of fox demons spanning Millennia only three prodigious Fox demons had attained the fox Immortal State each one a cataclysmic force of nature the first generation Fox Immortal in particular had plucked a moonstone from the Moon and forged it into the Supreme Treasure of the fox demon Clan the moon Fox Pearl thus becoming an eternal deity in the eyes of the fox demon lineage fox g was equally astonished to witness the fox Immortal power radiating from won this this appears to be the power of the fox Immortal but the sixth Prince is human why does he possess such power her mind raced with uncertainty yet she was also filled with exhilaration with the power of the fox Immortal they need not fear the matriarch any longer di in the presence of the fo Immortals might the matriarch's second tier Pinnacle cultivation was rendered utterly insignificant aside from the two of them the other three Mountain charm Warriors in the cave were also seized by Terror at the sight of Wong tion's pure Fox Immortal power instinctively compelled to kneel yet with the matriarchs resistance they dared not submit clinging to their Defiance old hag why do you not Advance are you afraid a slight smirk played on Wong tion's lips as he fully unleashed the aura of the fox immortal overpowering the mountain charm matriarch's presence entirely this time she felt the immense pressure bearing down on her it was the first time the mountain charm matriarch had experienced such a formidable oppression even breathing became a challenge and Beads of sweat began to trickle down her forehead however when her murky gaze fell upon the pink moon Fox Pearl her fear was somewhat tempered by a twinge of greed the mountain charm matriarch contemplated testing whether Wong tion was merely posturing or genuinely capable of wielding the power of the fox Immortal yet the overwhelming pressure made her hesitate winning would be fortuitous but losing meant certain death moreover the intensity of the aura made any feigned bravado practically impossible her hands trembled around the cane torn between greed and fear enduring a torturous internal struggle eventually succumbing to the overwhelming pressure the mountain charm matriarch capitulated sixth Prince how could I dare to seize your moon Fox Pearl I was merely jesting with you she feigned composure attempting to deflect the situation yet Wong tion was not inclined to let her off so easily is that so you just with me yet I am quite serious about wanting to kill you a cold smirk graced Wong Tonk lips as he did not relent intensifying the aura of the fox Immortal while Conjuring the extermination sword pointing it directly at the mountain charm matriarch the dragon energy infused within the extermination sword emitted a hauntingly resonant sound akin to a dragon's Roar the mountain charm matriarch trembled in fear she had intended to Bluff her way through but Wong tion's ferocity instilled Terror within her under the Dual pressures of the fox Immortals power and the extermination sword the mountain charm matriarch's legs finally buckled and she knelt your highness I pledge my loyalty to you please show mercy and spare my life this time the matriarch's submission was genuine this so-called waste of a prince was anything but he was a terrifying force that one could not afford to offend with a the resounding thud the mountain charm matriarch nelt and the remaining three Mountain charm Warriors unable to withstand the oppressive Aura had already succumbed to their knees long before the terrifying power of the fox Immortal coupled with the extermination swords pressure had proven too much for them Wong tion breathed a sigh of relief as he witnessed the mountain charm matriarchs capitulation the power of the fox Immortal was depleting with each use once exhausted he would lose this trump card therefore it was best to conserve it when possible I fox g seeing that Wong tion had not relented rushed to his side and knelt pleading for mercy your highness The Matriarch acknowledges her wrongs and is willing to pledge her loyalty to you please spare her life with her the mountain charm Clan will truly submit to you after all she was still their Elder who had taught her skills in her youth fox g could not bear to witness her Elders demise and as the leader of the mountain charm Clan her High esteem within the tribe could ensure their true allegiance to the sixth Prince I in consideration of your plea I shall spare you for now but you must relinquish your life Essence to me Wong tion declared resolutely he would not let the matriarch off so easily her greater strength necessitated that he secure her life Essence to truly command her upon hearing that she must surrender her life Essence the mountain charm matriarch hesitated too hand over her life Essence meant that her very existence would be at his Mercy what you do not wish to surrender Wong tion observed her reluctance his aura intensifying further Elder quickly Surrender Your Life Essence To His Highness or you shall not walk out of here alive today fox g urged seizing the moment to counsel her though the mountain charm ancestor was most reluctant the circumstances compelled her to acques very well I am willing to surrender my life Essence to you with no alternative the mountain charm ancestor reluctantly consented summoning the strength of the fox demon to extract her life Essence which he presented before Wong tion upon receiving her life Essence Wong tion retracted his Fox fairy power in the Excalibur of celestial slaying was returned to the system space with the oppressive Aura dissipated the mountain charm ancestor felt a modum of relief discreetly wiping the perspiration from her brow before tremblingly rising to her feet thank you your highness the mountain charm ancestor became noticeably subdued her heart still racing at the memory of wangonk murderous gaze had she not chosen to submit she feared she would have already met her demise the few Mountain charm experts in the cave also secretly exhaled in relief although Wong tion's Fox fairy presence was not directed at them they still felt an overwhelming sense of pressure especially at the moment when the Excalibur of celestial slang was unsh sheeted they felt as though death could come for them at any moment now at last they could breathe having witnessed this scene they were genuinely subservient to wongon in their hearts you may leave for now I still have matters to discuss with His Highness the mountain charm answer ancestor waved away her few trusted AIDS they felt as if they had been granted a reprieve the terror emanating from wongon had already instilled fear in them hastily lifting their unconscious kin they exited the cave soon only wongon xia knew the fox Princess and the mountain charm ancestor remained within the cavern your highness please take a seat the mountain charm ancestor leaned on her cane graciously offering wongon the purple Sandalwood chair behind her Wong tion without hesitation sat upon on it your highness I the fox grandmother pledge the Loyalty of the mountain charm Clan to you whether it be a mountain of blades or a sea of flames we are willing to follow you without hesitation should I betray this vow May the heavens strike me down leaning upon her cane the fox grandmother knelt once more before Wong tion swearing an oath this time her submission was genuine she had truly witnessed Wong tion's terrifying prowess to follow such a formidable master was an opportunity for the mountain charm Clan with only about 20,000 members their strength was lacking making them the weakest Branch among the five fox demon Clans yet they were now Wong tion's first true faction rise Wong tion gestured for her to stand and then recalled something inquiring by the way Fox grandmother Fox princess may I ask where the moonfall valley is Wong tion had not forgotten his promise to the fox fairy should the opportunity arise he would choose to visit the moonfall valley to help Liberate the fox fairy's corporeal form from its seals naturally he also considered the fox fairy's remains such a body would undoubtedly yield considerable rewards and a corpse above the Heavenly level could be examined multiple times however upon hearing the mention of moonfall Valley both the fox grandmother and the fox princess exchanged glances their expressions shifting to one of fear your highness why do you inquire about the moonfall valley the fox grandmother asked cautiously after a moment of hesitation Wong tion noted their change in demeanor it appeared that moonfall Valley was not a benign location I merely heard that there exists a place by that name among your fox demon Clan and thus I wish to inquire if you know of it please inform me if not consider my question forgotten Wong tion maintained a Placid expression withholding the truth from them this was an agreement between him and the fox fairy and there was no need to divulge it to others the moonfall valley lies not far from the Royal melum situated at the juncture of the Imperial City and Yin City however it is a forbidden ground for our fox demon Clan the first generation Fox fairy perish there it is said to be filled with toxic miasma where touching it would lead to immediate death as well as rare monstrous beasts and treacherous geography rendering one unable to exit once entered the fox grandmother spoke with evident trepidation I it truly that perilous Wong tion instinctively query. it should be so it is said that fox demon clansmen who ventured there never returned including some with firstrade prowess the fox princess added after contemplation Wong furrowed his brow if moonfall Valley was indeed as treacherous as they described venturing there with his current strength would be tantam out to seeking death Fox grandmother Fox princess have either of you ever been there Wong tion pursued with reluctance hearing is but one thing seeing is another rumors are not always reliable do no the moonfall valley has always been under the control of the Ninetales Clan the dangers within have originated from their Clan the fox grandmother shook her head while the fox princess similarly indicated that they had never ventured there themselves upon hearing this Wong tion's eyes narrowed slightly the fox fairy was betrayed by the Ninetales Clans yawa now that they strictly controlled the moonfall valley and spread Tales of its perils were they not fearful of others discovering the truth of the past the more Wong tion pondered the more he felt this possibility he then inquired by the way who is currently the leader of the Ninetales Clan is ya the Ninetales Celestial Fox still alive the current leader of the Ninetales Clan is yawan wan a first great cultivator the fox grandmother paused before continuing as for yahwa the ninetail celestial Fox she has been dead for thousands of years why do you suddenly mention her your highness she has been dead for thousands of years Wong tion felt a sudden Pang of emotion the woman who had betrayed the fox fairy had indeed passed away alleviating his concerns about confronting her now he could focus solely on devising a means to help the fox fairy liberate her corporeal constraints your highness why are you so concerned about the Ninetales Clan the fox princess instinctively asked it's nothing I was just asking out of curiosity wongon fabricated a casual excuse after a moment of silence the fox grandmother cautiously continued your highness should we inform the other four major clans of the Moon Fox Pearl after all it is The Treasure of our fox demon Clan whosoever possesses it shall be the Sovereign of our clan for now only notify the Ninetales Clan have their leader yawan Wan come to see me alone Wong tion replied after some contemplation the reason for notifying only the Ninetales Clan was that Wong tion feared being overwhelmed by all four Clans at once there was a risk that they might conspire to seize the moon Fox Pearl furthermore he sought to glean the true circumstances surrounding moonfall Valley from yawan Wan only notify the Ninetales Clan the fox grandmother pondered for a moment before suddenly grasping Wong tion's deeper intention your highness is wise the other four major clans of fox demons are indeed more powerful than our Mountain charm Clan summoning them all at once could lead to a joint attempt to seize the moon Fox Pearl be why calling them individually we can conquer them one by one what if yawan Wan informs the other three Clans about the moon Fox Pearl the fox princess's eyes initially brightened at this thought but then she couldn't help but Express her concern youo not worry ya wanwan is an ambitious individual such vital information regarding the moon Fox Pearl how could she possibly share it with the other three Clans she will likely wish to keep it secret more than anyone else the fox grandmother seemed to understand ya one onean well excellent then let it be so inform ya wanwan to come here in half a month's time I shall prepare a banquet for her wangon swiftly made his decision yes your highness the fox grandmother bowed in acknowledgement after concluding matters here Wong tion Rose and made his way toward the cave exit with shiau closely following the fox Princess and the fox grandmother both saw them off as they watched Wong tion's departing figure the fox grandmother couldn't help but exclaim the world speaks of the sixth Prince as a powerless Talent waste who would have thought that today upon seeing him I would realize how utterly absurd such claims are indeed when I first encountered the sixth Prince I was equally astounded by his strength when I then witnessed him produced the moon Fox Pearl I resolved to follow him without hesitation the fox princess's gaze remained fixed on Wong tion until he vanished from sight her eyes reflecting a hint of reluctance the fox grandmother cast a glance at her noting everything that sacred Fox heart you possess was it so bestowed upon you by His Highness the fox grandmother inquired with a knowing look yes after pledging my loyalty to His Highness he granted me this sacred Fox heart it was due to this that my strength rapidly Advanced to the third grade the fox princess spoke with gratitude shining in her eyes without wongon she might have remained trapped in the fourth grade for her entire life Wong tion had offered her boundless potential and a future filled with possibilities do you know that our Mountain charm Clan once produced a sacred Fox the fox grandmother suddenly stated the sacred Fox of the fox demon Clan is akin to a human's Earth Immortal level boasting formidable strength of course I know her name was hu ya and she was once the Empress of the great Chen Dynasty our branch of mountain charm followed her to the Imperial City and she was the former Sovereign of the fox demon Clan the fox princess's eyes sparkled with reverence as she spoke of the revered hu Yao the mountain charm Clan had always been looked down upon yet with hu Yao's emergence everything changed not only did she Elevate the mountain charm Clan to new heights but she also ascended to the position of Empress of the great Chen Dynasty a feat never before achieved by the fox demon Clan the huya spoken of by the fox princess was indeed the one who usurped sue wanner as identity to become Empress indeed that was the most glorious era for our Mountain charm Clan and now we have a chance to rise once more the fox grandmother gazed intently at the stunningly beautiful Fox princess her eyes Al light with unprecedented hope what opportunity the fox princess instinctively inquired I observe that the sixth Prince possesses extraordinary Talent he may well Ascend to the throne one day presently he lacks any foundation and has been rejected in marriage if you take this opportunity to draw closer to His Highness you might one day find yourself as empress and thus our Mountain charm Clan could regain its former glory the fox grandmother looked at the fox princess with fervor me as empress ancestor are you jesting how could a mere wild fox demon like me ever become Empress the fox princess herself Harbor doubts how could that be possible wasn't the revered ancestor Fox Yao also born of the Wilds did she not Ascend to become the emess of the great Chen Dynasty the old Fox matriarch replied earnestly however the revered ancestor Fox Yao is a sacred Fox how can I compare myself to her before the fox princess could finish her thought she was interrupted by The Matriarch you possess the heart of a sacred Fox it is only a matter of time before you cultivate to the realm of the Sacred fox or even the fox Immortal Realm upon hearing the term heart of the Sacred Fox the fox princess was momentarily taken aback indeed she now possessed the heart of a sacred Fox and with such a talent she would inevitably cultivate to the sacred Fox realm or even the fox Immortal Realm ambition surged wildly within her if the revered ancestor Fox Yao could become the Empress of the great Chen Dynasty then so too could the fox princess The Matriarch administered a potent dose of encouragement the fox princess clenched her fists her beauty was UNP paralleled and she was the first to pledge allegiance to the sixth Prince surely she had a chance if you were determined it would be wise to act swiftly in half a month the ninetail demon lanan will arrive you are aware of the captivating Arts of the Ninetales she may very well win the prince's favor before you do the matriarch cautioned solemnly I understand I will make the Prince fall for me the fox princess resolved silently vowing to employ any means necessary to gain his affection chapter 20 the summoning of the black melum Upon returning to the Royal tomb Wong tion had been meditating in his humble abode his next goal was to subjugate the remaining four tribes of fox demons necessitating a swift enhancement of his strength relying on the power of the fox Immortal was but a temporary measure and there would come a time when its utility would wne only through amplifying his own power could he truly command the fox demon clan for several consecutive days wongon remained in his modest dwelling absorbing the dragon energy from the Dragon Pearl this Dragon Pearl was acquired from the coffin of the spirit treasure Emperor and for Royal descendants it served as the finest cultivation supplement I in the past Emperors would dispatch skilled Warriors to slay dragons for their pearls but the breeding capacity of dragons is weak taking a century to mature leading to their dwindling numbers ultimately dragons became a rarity across the entire tonan continent in the overseas panlong Island however many dragons thrived yet the vast ocean separated them from Humanity perhaps allowing them to survive on those Distant Shores thus Dragon pearls are incredibly Precious on tonin continent one Pearl could be worth an entire city and yet they are often found in a state of demand exceeding Supply with a sigh Wong tion opened his eyes exhaling a breath of turbid AI r. at last he had fully absorbed the energy from the Dragon Pearl which had elevated his prowess to the Pinnacle of the seventh rank wongon was thoroughly satisfied with the effects of the Dragon Pearl having completed his cultivation he intended to returned to the melum to once again seek the enchanting and adorable ancestors upon opening the door he discovered that night had fallen a full moon hanging overhead casting a pale and bright glow over the entire Royal tomb I in the Luminous Moonlight a familiar graceful figure approached Wong tion's humble abode a large bag of food in hand your highness I have brought you food the fox princess swayed her Serpentine waist her eyes glistening like Silk as she gazed at Wong tion her voice sweet as honey today she was dressed particularly alluringly Dawning a pale blue gauze dress that was quite low cut revealing her delicate snowy shoulders and accentuating the deep valley of her bosom making it hard for one to look away the lower half of her skirt resembled a cheow with a slit that reached her thighs and with each movement her long white legs were tantalizingly visible I in addition to her enticing attire the fox princess had also applied light makeup enhancing her Allure any man would be rendered Motionless upon seeing her yet Wong tion remained unaffected eager to commune with the ancestors oblivious to her captivating appearance thank you fox princess but please return I have matters to attend to Wong tion took the food from her hands and hurried towards the melum seeing Wong tion's indifference the fox princess felt a twinge of disappointment she had meticulously prepared for this moment only to find that the prince didn't spare her a glance reluctantly she called out your highness this place is simply too shabby shall I arrange for someone to help renovate it and perhaps furnish it suitably this way your stay could be much more comfortable the fox princess intended to impress wongon yet he interrupted her absolutely not if others discover that my residence is too comfortable it may arouse suspicion let it remain humble allowing others to continue believing I am worthless Wong tion understood the importance of concealing his strengths aware that this was not the time to reveal his true capabilities especially not to the chancellor or the for Prince otherwise they would not hesitate to send someone to eliminate him his current strength was insufficient to contend with them moreover with the Nine Dragons vying for Supremacy wongon planned to bite his time allowing the eight of them to clash fiercely only to step in later to clean up the aftermath very well but your highness there is no bathing facility here you cannot forego bathing can you the fox princess still felt somewhat dissatisfied speaking of bathing Wong tion indeed found himself at a loss while he could have food delivered by the fox princess the lack of bathing facilities posed a significant inconvenience as there was not a drop of water in the entire Royal tomb let alone a place to bathe leaving him speechless if your highness does not mind I have a hot spring nearby you are welcome to come wash there anytime just on the Eastern Hill the fox princess noticing Wong tion's hesitation quickly proposed very well when I wish to bathe I shall come over Wong tion nodded and hurriedly made his way deeper into the Royal tomb the fox princess watched as he departed a flicker of Joy Crossing her delicate features as she resolved that when the prince came to bathe she would ensure to serve him well hoping to ensnare him with her gentle charm s Wong tion ventured deeper into the Royal tomb he pondered which ancestor to seek next when he felt that peculiar summoning sensation once more why does it feel like I am being summoned again Wong tion furrowed his brow the sensation of being summoned was indeed a curious one one he could never forget it was from the deepest part of the Royal tomb the black melum could it be that I am to enter once more without further hesitation Wong tion decided he could not pass up the opportunity to enter the black melum especially after having found a legendary sword last time who knows what extraordinary Treasures awaited him this time with such thoughts in mind Wong tion quickened his Pace towards the depths of the royal tomb followed closely by Sha knew the further he progressed the more he felt the oppressive Aura of Imperial power particularly from the emperor Chen's tomb even after Millennia its formidable presence lingered fortunately compared to a month prior Wong tion's strength had improved significantly allowing him to effortlessly withstand the pressure after traversing various Imperial tombs Wong tion finally arrived once again at the innermost sanctum of the royal tomb the black melum standing before him emanating wisps of black mist under the bright and pale Moonlight this is it the black melum seems to be summoning me once more Wong tion's heart raced at the side of the black mosum I wonder if I can enter again he glanced at the tightly shut door of the melum a Pang of nervousness beginning to surface fearing that greater expectations could lead to Greater disappointments XA guard this spot I shall return shortly Wong tion took a deep breath and stepped toward the black melum chapter 21 once more encountering the Exquisite corpse as Wong tion approached the great door of the black melum suddenly swung open Overjoyed Wong tion noted that this was precisely how it had unfolded last time as he drew near the door had automatically opened it seems promising this time I have not been repelled and the door has opened on its own surely I can enter suppressing his excitement wongon hastened inside fearful that the door might close behind him if he lingered soon enough he found himself once again within the black mosum and as he stepped inside the door closed behind him with a soft thud the grand hall of the melum remained unchanged with the Exquisite female corpse lying upon the Eternal ice bed this time due to his enhanced strength Wong tion could approach a bit closer yet he still hesitated to touch the Exquisite Corpse The Chill emanating from the Eternal ice was no ordinary cold it was an extreme Frost that could freeze a person in place if one ventured too near excellent this time I should be able to remain close a bit longer Wong tion summoned all his dragon energy preparing to touch the Exquisite corpse as he drew nearer The Frigid Aura intensified causing the flow of dragon energy within him to slow is too intense this extreme cold is stronger than I anticipated at it appears I must employ the same strategy as last time touch and Retreat otherwise I risk being frozen in place wongon had not expected the extreme cold from the ice bed to be so formidable after making his decision Wong tion took a deep breath and charged towards the Exquisite corpse as he approached he swiftly reached out to touch her managing to linger a moment longer than before in the courtyard of the Chen Pavilion headquarters Yu andu lay upon her bed her body emanating wisps of Dark Mist trembling uncontrollably her delicate brows frosted with white she began to dream once more as she did every full moon night eye in Her Dream she felt as though she lay Upon A frigid bed surrounded by an Inky Darkness devoid of sound and light she wished to move but found herself utterly immobile akin to a lifeless body lying on an exceedingly cold ice bed shivering from the chilled eye in reality yuju instinctively pulled the covers tighter around herself attempting to warm up but to no avail a te that moment the dream version of yunju suddenly heard footsteps approaching growing nearer and those footsteps felt oddly familiar she had heard them in her previous dream yunio yearned to open her eyes and discern who had come to seek her yet no matter how hard she tried her eyelids remained stubbornly shut rendering even the slightest movement impossible just as despair began to engulf her she felt a a fleeting touch on her icy little foot lingering a tad longer than the previous Swift brushes anger surged within her she longed to see which leer dared to lay hands on her however her efforts proved feudal and her eyes remained tightly closed the emotions within her dream seemed to seep into her reality igniting a blend of humiliation and rage that jolted her awake Awakening with a start yunio gasped for breath beads of perspiration dotting her Alabaster forehead she felt a chill enveloping her entire body Frost gathering on her delicate eyebrows infuriated she lamented the recurrence of that despicable figure in her dreams taking several deep breaths she willed herself to calm down channeling her inner energy to fend off the cold that clung to her after a while she felt a semblance of relief this marked the second occurrence and judging by the footsteps it was likely the same individual once she regained her composure yunio began to ponder why had this person invaded her dreams twice recently when he had never appeared before this could not simply be a coincidence furrowing her brow in contemplation she struggled to deduce a rationale but could only attribute it to a stress response following the inappropriate advances of the sixth Prince ultimately she decided to dismiss the matter and seek Fresh Air instead fearing that sleep would lead her to dream of the vile Intruder once more she dawned a thick cloak and stepped outside the night was adorned with a bright moon amidst a sparse scattering of stars the sky clear and Serene after taking a moment to appreciate the full moon her spirits lifted considerably just as she was about to return indoors she noticed that her father's study light remained a glow it was already the Third Watch of the night why had her father yet to rest moreover on this night of the full moon he had not come to guard her chamber as he usually did a flicker of concern crossed her mind I in the past during her episodes her father had always stayed vigil rushing in at the slightest disturbance to protect her yet now he had neglected his duty this could only imply one possibility her father was embroiled in a pressing matter for he would never forget his daughter otherwise with her astute intellect yunio quickly surmised the situation and cautiously approached the study striving to make no sound upon reaching the window she strained to listen and discern the conversation within where her father and the grand Elder were deep in discussion Master tomorrow marks the final deadline set by the Prime Minister have you made your decision the grand Elder inquired worry etched across his face this matter requires no Del ation I will not align with them Yun jongi replied seated with a grave expression he was acutely aware of the repercussions of offending the Prime Minister yet he resolutely chose to refuse he knew all too well the character of the Prime Minister and that they The chilin Pavilion specialized in intelligence he was fully cognizant of the prime minister's nefarious deeds and held himself in high regard believing he could not stoop to collude with someone like suenan the Prime Minister wields control over lungo Mountain a formidable Force ranked fifth among the sections moreover he is on the verge of an alliance with the fourth Prince which significantly amplifies his power offending him now could very well lead to our Annihilation you are aware of his ruthlessness the grand Elder continued his face a mask of concern Yun jongi furrowed his brow falling into silence he too recognized Su Junk's cruelty those who dared to defy him had been extinguished now few in the martial world or the court dared to oppose him have there been any responses to my request for Alliance with other sex Yun jongi asked his gaze hopeful as he turned to the Grand Elder the elders reply however DED his hopes with cold water currently no one dares to Ally with us fearing the prime minister's wrath the grand Elder side if all else fails I will bear the brunt of it while you take my daughter to retreat to Bon Mountain the terrain there is complex and Laden with traps Although our chilin Pavilion May face limitations we should manage to ensure our survival Yun jongi stated solemnly after much contemplation this is our only recourse the sole path of retreat for our chilin Pavilion Master perhaps you should join us in Retreat the grand Elder urged with concern I cannot abandon my post I must remain to provide the prime minister with an explanation otherwise your Escape will be jeopardized Yun Joni resolved determined to sacrifice himself to buy time for the chin Pavilions withdrawal old Sue should I no longer be around please take care of my daughter she is a girl of Misfortune Yun jongi expressed his concern for his daughter evident rest assured master I have watched over Cher since she was a child I will ensure her safety the grand Elder promised with a heavy sigh concealed outside the window yunio absorbed every word of her father's conversation her eyes briming with tears as she muffled her sobs she had been oblivious to the Dire Straits facing the chilin Pavilion I in the deepest chamber of the black melum within the Royal tomb wongon swiftly brushed against the delicate foot of a stunningly beautiful Corpse The Touch was cold and smooth but he had no time to savor the sensation retracting his hand hastily lest he succumb to The Frigid Aura pervading the space I in that instant the systems voice echoed in his mind ding congratulations to the host for touching a Celestial great corpse earning after reading please leave a five-star review thank you all chapter 22 presenting a chen to the fair Maiden ding congratulations to the host for touching a Celestial great corpse earning the tmok q. the systems announcement faded a mysterious black wooden Chen appeared in Wong tion system space the timen as its name suggested exuded an air of sophistication eagerly Wong tion retrieved the tachin from the depths of his system space the instrument was entirely black resembling a gemstone radiating an enigmatic glow measuring 3 ft in length and 1T in width its lines flowed gracefully exuding an Elegance that captivated the e. the head of the Chen a vividly carved Black Phoenix appeared alive it's be Agape as if to consume all the strings were taut emanating an aura of lethal intent as if a mere pluck could unleash Calamity upon the world surrounding the tachin was a faint swirling black mist identical to the dark Aura seeping from the melum itself this Mist enveloped the air resembling a delicate Veil forming a barrier that isolated the tinin from the outside world approaching the instrument one could almost hear a low ominous Phoenix cry a summons from the underworld that sent shivers down the spine surely this tin maen must be a treasure Beyond compareed a mere glance sent Tremors through his soul wongon though unversed in the art of the Chen could sense the terrifying energy emanating from it regrettably he lacked the skill to play he plucked a few strings at random producing a discordant Melody yet despite the chaotic sounds the music seemed to repel the frigid air around him leaving him astounded such a fearsome sound a mere casual strum was capable of warding off the chill Wong tion recognized the extraordinary nature of the tianin lamenting his inability to play it just then the grand door of the black melum swung open once more and a tremendous Force expelled him from within before he could comprehend the situation he found himself hurled outside tumbling several times before coming to a halt utterly disheveled Master are you all right the little servant who had been waiting outside rushed over upon seeing Wong tion's predicament I'm fine Wong tion waved his hand dismissively quickly rising to his feet and retrieving the tin maen that had fallen to the ground to his surprise the Chen had not gathered a speck of dust while he himself was covered in mud looking quite the sight why does this keep happening is touching it permitted only once Wong tion brushed off the dirt and glanced back at the black melum where the door had once again sealed shut Master what lies within that has left you in such a state the little servant inquired curiosity peaked inside is an both charming and terrifying wongon replied nonchalantly before turning to ask by the way little servant do you know how to play the CH play the Chen the little servant instinctively glanced at the ebony Chen in Wong tion's grasp then shook her head dazedly do no I cannot Wong tion lamented his question how could a puppet mechanism possibly know how to play I cannot play either what a waste for this Chen to remain in my possession he sighed feeling disheartened at having such a remarkable treasure yet lacking the skill to utilize I it the fox Spirit likely couldn't play either who then should he gift this chin to Wong tion was reluctant to let the Tim maen go to waste and in a flash of inspiration thought of someone suitable perhaps giving it to her would be appropriate the most talented Maiden in the capital the daughter of the chilin a master of Chen chess calligraphy and painting presenting her with the Chen would also serve as a means of atonement for his past regrets towards her Wong tion had long sought to make amends with yunio but had never found the opportunity now this tin maen presented the perfect chance little servant wait for me here at the Royal tomb I shall step outside for a moment Wong tion resolved quickly returning the tachin to his system space before striding towards the tombs exit it was the fifth watch of the night around 4 or 5: in the morning and the Horizon was beginning to brighten with the first light of dawn seizing the opportunity when no one was about Wong tion covered his face with a cloth and quietly slipped out of the royal tomb he had to remain undetected his exile to guard the tomb was decreed by the emperor should the emperor discover that he stealthily slipped out of the Imperial melum it would be deemed a grave offense against the Imperial decree thus he must conceal his identity to venture outside Theo a on the side of caution Wong tion refrained from heading directly to the headquarters of the chilin Pavilion instead he awaited the opening of a Tailor's shop dawned a complete Ensemble of black attire and acquired a silver armor mask even changing his shoes the G he had previously worn were Royal attire easily recognizable and likely to raise suspicion with the change of clothing his princely identity became indistinguishable after completing these preparations Wong tion felt emboldened to make his way toward the chilin Pavilion a month had passed and as he strolled along the main thoroughfare of the capital once more a sense of nostalgia washed over him as if everything had changed after half an hour he finally arrived at the chilin pavilion's headquarters a grand estate situated on the Eastern outskirts of the city spanning an impressive 3,000 sare M it was enclosed by tall walls adorned with green tiles with two Stone Lions flanking the entrance presenting an aura of mystery from the outside after waiting for a while without any sign of the chilin Pavilion opening its doors Wong tion reluctantly placed the tin maen wrapped in Black cloth at the entrance accompanied by a note once this was accomplished he retreated to a distance to observe until a maid took the tenin maen and the note at which point he turned to leave yunju had not slept well the previous night she had been tormented by L dreams and was further unsettled by the sounds of a crisis at her door this left her feeling utterly exhausted just as she finished washing her face a maid rushed in with urgency miss someone has brought you a gift the maid approached briskly cradling the tin maen wrapped in Black cloth is there truly someone delivering me gifts at this time yunju furrowed her brows slightly ever since the rumors of her defilement by the sixth Prince had spread the young masters of the capital had seldom visited her let alone brought gifts moreover after the chilin Pavilion had offended the Prime Minister not only the noble science but everyone seemed to avoid her it is true but I did not see the person he left the items and departed. O he also left a note as the maid spoke she retrieved a note from her bosom and handed it to yunju confused yunju accepted the note and glanced at it it contained but a single line I have heard of Miss yunju a talented Lady of the capital proficient in the Arts of the guen chess literature and painting I have come upon a black wooden guen perfectly suited for you and have come to present it to you indeed it was a gift meant for her yunju was astonished that anyone would think to present her with a gift at such a Time generally she did not accept gifts from others even if it were from a prince she would refuse believing that one should not accept rewards without Merit yet inexplicably when her hand brushed against the guen she felt an undeniable warmth this black wooden Guin is for me you may leave now rarely did yunju accept gifts from Outsiders but she took the black wooden gin into her Embrace and hurried toward her chamber her curiosity about the instrument grew with each passing moment even before unveiling the black cloth she felt an extraordinary sense of familiarity a sensation she had never experienced before upon entering her room yju locked the door and solemnly began to unwrap the black cloth s the fabric fell away little by little she finally beheld the true form of the mysterious black wooden Guin its color was as dark as ink its texture as refined as Jade and the strings were taut and smoothed a black Phoenix perched upon the head of the Guin its sharp beak poised as if to devour everything in its path the entire instrument exuded an air of formidable power and Enigma upon witnessing the tin maen yuju's body quivered slightly as if she had encountered an old friend long lost to time stirring a flutter of excitement within her why did this this guen feel so familiar as she caressed the black wooden guen an inexplicable sense of recognition surged within her yet upon closer reflection it remained a stranger to describe it as both familiar and unfamiliar was most Department what sort of sound would this Guin produce yunju extended her delicate Snow White Hand and casually plucked at the strings producing a melodious note to her astonishment the Resonance of the music seemed to stir the surrounding spiritual energy into a frenzied vibration with her considerable tent yuju was highly attuned to fluctuations in spiritual energy the slightest disturbance was immediately perceptible to her deepening her Intrigue for this black wooden guen meanwhile for stewards and an elder from lho Mountain approached the chilin Pavilion with an air of aggression within the grand hall Yun junzi personally came forth to greet them Lord Yun the monthlong deadline has elapsed what are your thoughts Elder GIA one of the four Elders from lungo Mountain inquired condescendingly the fifth ranked sect of the de Dynasty lho Mountain held a sense of superiority over lesser sections Elder Gia boasting a second tier cultivation regarded Yun jongi with disdain due to the latter's inferior realm Elder Gia our chilin Pavilion has always maintained a stance of neutrality should we choose to Ally with lho mountain it would be perceived as favoritism tarnishing our reputation Yun jongi articulated his position with a degree of tact adding of course should lho Mountain require any intelligence we can prioritize delivering it to you desperate to avoid a conflict with the prime minister in lho Mountain Yun jongi sought to maintain peace prioritize delivering intelligence Elder J scof his lips curling in derision before coldly stating Yun jongi upon my arrival the Prime Minister has made it clear that your chilin Pavilion has but two options first pledge your loyalty to the Prime Minister and abide by his commands thus ensuring your continued autonomy second reject the Prime Minister and I shall annihilate you and your kin integrating the remnants of the chilin Pavilion into l Mountain choose Elder J's words dripped with Menace Yun jongi had anticipated this outcome he had long heard of the prime minister's ruthlessness may I have a moment to contemplate Yun jongi sought to buy time to notify the Elder to facilitate his daughter's Escape through the secret passage however Elder J was unwilling to Grant him this opportunity Yun jongi the Prime Minister has already afforded you a month have you yet to reach a decision I shall count to three and should you remain indecisive I will commence the slaughter declared coldly the four stewards behind him exuded an aura of lethal intent Yun jungi scanned the five individuals one at the second tier and four at the third tier he knew he could not contend against them alone but hoped to Rally the other Experts of the chilin Pavilion for a joint effort even if they could not achieve Victory they could by sometime. 3. Elder began his countdown Yun jongi forced himself to remain composed quietly lifting a teacup Point Ted Elder announced another number the atmosphere growing tense as as if the very air had solidified unmoved Yun jongi took a gentle sip of t.1 Elder ja called out turning his icy gaze upon Yun jongi Yun jongi it is time for your final answer rather than respond Yun jongi drained the teacup in one Gulp and then forcefully smashed it onto the ground bang the teacup shattered producing a resounding crash Yun jongi what do you mean by this are you courting death Elder jaet clenched his fists his pressure mounting this is my answer everyone come in Yun jongi bellowed and 10 of the chin Pavilion s Elite experts surged into the Hall surrounding Elder Gia and the four stewards casting aside the cup as a token of his resolve Yun jongi boldly confronted lho Mountain signaling his Defiance well it has been a while since I encountered anyone brave enough to resist lho mountain today is a splendid opportunity to stretch my limbs Elder G sneered coldly surveying The chilin Pavilion experts as his killing intent intensified the four stewards behind him grew their weapons prepared to teach these fools a lesson Yun jongi did not waste words he immediately unshed his sword though aware that their numbers were greater the disparity and strength was apparent with 10 experts three at the third tier and seven at the fourth tier the odds were decidedly against them especially with jelang second tier prowess which could easily overpower several of them Yun jongi did not seek Victory he merely aim to delay for as long as possible well then I shall take this opportunity to experience the might of lho mountain though only at the third tier Yun jongi gripped his sword firmly and charged at Elder Gia the other 10 experts from The chilin Pavilion followed suit exterminate them leave no one alive Elder J commanded his fists clenched as he Advanced toward Yun jong's eye in an instant the grand hall erupted into chaos the sounds of battle ringing out as blood flowed freely meanwhile in her chamber yuju remained absorbed in the Allure of the black wooden guen this guen can resonate with me I wonder how it will sound when played her fascination with the instrument grew and as she prepared to sit down for a proper performance she was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks at the door J open the door quickly the voice of the Elder Sue hongyong echoed from outside filled with urgency realizing the Elder sought her out yuju instinctively sensed his intent she quickly covered the guen with the black cloth and opened the door Uncle Sue what brings you here she inquired suppressing her suspicions. Jer the people from lho Mountain have invaded your father has sent me to escort you out of the city quickly gather your belongings we must use the secret passage Su honglong urged his voice laced with anxiety I will not leave I wish to be with my father yunju declared drawing her slender sword and rushing out having overheard her father's conversation with the Elder the previous night she had resolved to stand by her father's side come what may however as she stepped outside she was immediately intercepted by the grand Elder if you go now it will only lead to your demise the adversary possesses the strength of a second tier master and there is no one in the chilin Pavilion capable of standing against him your father is risking everything to buy you time to escape Elder Sue urged anxiously my mother has already left me I cannot bear to watch my father depart as well Elder Sue permit me to go yuno exclaimed shoving Elder Sue aside and brandishing her sword as she prepared to advance just then a resounding explosion erupted from the direction of the main hall followed by a figure being hurled through the air after tracing a long parabolic Arc the figure crashed heavily to the ground before yunio and upon recognizing the person's face her heart filled with rage and despair dad Yun Shunk eyes readed as she saw her father grievously injured an overwhelming tide of Fury welling up within her run Yun jongi lying on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood and summoned all his strength to utter a single command however as soon as his words left his lips Elder J soared from a distance and swiftly arrived before him there's no need to flee you shall All Die Here this is the consequence of opposing the chancellor Elder declared aiming a fist at Yun jong's life only to be blocked by Elder Sue beside him he could not stand idly by and witness The Pavilion Master being slain thus he threw himself into the fry risking his life to intervene Cher You Must Escape Elder Sue shouted emphatically you old fool dare to obstruct me you seek death Elder ja roared as he Unleashed a powerful punch into Su hongk chest sending him flying backward with tremendous force yunio was both shocked and enraged Elder je strength clearly surpassed her expectations and if she recklessly charged in it would surely lead to her demised ey in despair she suddenly recalled the black wooden zither in her room it was her only hope now Resolute yunio swiftly turned and dashed into her chamber tearing away the black cloth draped over the zither I don't know if this will work she forced herself to calm down placing her slender Snow White hands upon the timma zither the moment her fingers made contact she felt an inexplicable connection with the instrument yes The Melody of East Wind breaks resonated she thought where can one find a kindred spirit in this vast World chapter 24 yuno's desperate Counterattack within the entirety of the chilin Pavilion none could rival the prowess of the fourth Elder jelang of lho mountain The Pavilion Master Yun jongi had been grievously injured lying on the ground and cough blood incessantly Yun jongi when you rejected the chancellor you should have anticipated this day prepare to meet your end jalong sauntered toward Yun jongi his eyes glimmering with mockery and murderous intent Su Janan colludes with his followers to harm the loyal and virtuous maliciously seeking to Annex the sects of the Marshal world and has killed countless Innocents such a treacherous scoundrel I would rather die then join forces with him despite his Grievous injuries Yun jongi retained his indomitable spirit The chilin Pavilion had gathered ample information and evidence of sujan Nan's nefarious Deeds thus Yun jongi was acutely aware of his true character perhaps this understanding was precisely why Sue Janan sought to eliminate the chilin Pavilion if the emperor were to learn of these transgressions he would surely face dire consequences well said in this world of the survival of the fittest it is indeed admirable to find someone with such Integrity since you possess such resolve I shall send you on your way first followed by your daughter so that May reunite in the Underworld jelang declared clenching his fists and unleashing a devastating strike aimed at the Fallen Yun jongi this punch was imbued with immense power capable of delivering a fatal blow yet just as his fist was about to descend upon Yun jongi a melodious and ethereal sound akin to Celestial music suddenly emanated from the adjacent room under the enchanting strains of the zither jalong colossal fist inexplicably halted as though thwarted by an unseen Force what is happening why can't my fist descend jelang was taken aback and despite his disbelief he intensified his energy output yet no matter how he strained he could not breach this invisible barrier what is going on it seemed as if some powerful energy was obstructing him meanwhile Yun jongi who had prepared himself for death was astonished to find jang's fist hovering just above him unable to desend this indicated that jelang was not unwilling to strike him down rather some force was protecting him from harm they both pondered the situation in confusion the enchanting zither music once again filled the air this time with even greater intensity it was as if the energy embedded in the melody transformed into a dark Phoenix from the depths of Hell spreading its wings and releasing a resonant cry that seemed to shatter the heavens and shake the Earth the sound of the Phoenix was both a Divine Melody and a tumultuous tide captivating all who heard IIT shown like a beacon in the darkness a glimmer of hope amid despair embodying the very essence of the music itself amidst this soaring Melody jel Yang's charge was met with formidable resistance and he found himself halted 5 MERS from yunk room unable to advance despite his strenuous efforts you shall die jelang roared in frustration channeling all his energy into a single powerful strike aimed at yuno's chamber as he unleashed the blow a torrent of Deep Blue energy surged forth akin to a flood Unleashed from a dam threatening to engulf the small dwelling yunio Yun jongi lying on the ground felt a Pang of Anguish a full force strike from a second tier master was beyond his capacity to withstand and yunio at the sixth tier stood no chance of surviving yet the melody escalated to even greater Heights as if the wrathful tidal energy had provoked the proud dark Phoenix from Hell A sharp cry echoed as if the Phoenix was challenging jang's torrent of energy the sound sliced through the night sky like a lightning bolt Illuminating the darkness and causing a shiver to run through all who heard it two unseen forces collided in an instant akin to two Fierce Tigers meeting in a desolate Wilderness nether willing to relent the deep blue energy surged forth like a furious sea crashing toward the zither Melody however the melody like the proud dark Phoenix merely fluttered its wings effortlessly swallowing the oncoming energy without a trace how is this possible my energy has been devoured jelang was utterly astonished it was the first time he had encountered such a formidable zither Melody cold sweat trickled down his forehead and before he could fully grasp the situation the melody consumed him as well the overwhelming Force hurled jalong dozens of meters away crashing him into a decorative rock formation shattering it upon impact ug gelong could not suppress a mouthful of blood several ribs broken and his internal organs severely damaged leaving him in excruciating pain how can the chin Pavilion possess such a powerful individual who could it be jel Yang's mind was filled with confusion prior to his arrival he had meticulously investigated all the experts of the chilin Pavilion with his second tier strength he had expected no one to obstruct him yet reality had revealed the existence of a formidable zither master who had inflicted such Grievous injuries upon Him struggling to his feet he cast a weary glance toward the small room his eyes filled with trepidation and fear chapter 25 the master is driven back as the final note faded yuno's delicate face turned pale beads of sweat forming on her pristine forehead her fingers resting upon the zither strings trembled incessantly she had expended all her spiritual energy to counter jang's assault fortunately her full force strike had left jelang grievously wounded but if he were to counter attack she would be utterly defenseless even so she dared not relax her spirit remaining taau meanwhile jalong having barely managed to stand regarded the room across from him with a mix of apprehension and Dread the terrifying Melody had etched a lasting shadow in his heart that he would never forget at that moment the two attendants he had brought with him rushed over both injured fourth Elder are you all right one of the attendants exclaimed astonished at jang's severe condition Elder ja was a second tier Master to have sustained such injuries it must have taken someone at the peak of the second tier yet it seemed that chilin Pavilion boasted no such expert as even its Pavilion Master had only reached the Pinnacle of the third tier where are the other two Elder ja asked figting calm as he inquired alas we were besieged by 10 individuals resulting in the demise of two of our stewards while all 10 from Chillin Pavilion met their end at our hands one of the stewards wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth clearly wounded point4 against 10 we lost two but managed to Counterattack and eliminate all 10 thus showcasing the formidable strength of the disciples from lho Mountain Elder four How Could You sustain such severe injuries does chilin Pavilion still possess individuals capable of harming you the steward pressed on bewildered > let us discuss this later we must leave replied jelang clutching his chest as he made his way outside this Mission could be deemed a failure if he lingered his own life might be at stake yet before departing he cast a final glance at the chamber knowing that the master within remained unseen chilin Pavilion indeed had a formidable presence after uttering this sentiment gelong burdened by his injuries departed in a dejected manner on the ground Yan zongzi watched an Aston ment as jelang and his men retreated but after a moment's reflection he felt a sense of understanding after being Gravely injured by the melody it was wise for him to retreat persisting would likely jeopardize his life for the moment chilin Pavilion was safe struggling to rise from the ground Yan zongzi disregarded his wounds and hurried towards his daughter yuno's chamber his foremost concern was for her well-being he was perplexed as to how she had managed to perform dong funp and defeat jelang upon opening the door yanzong was met with the sight of his daughter her face pale and drawn beads of sweat glistening on her forehead her slender Snow White fingers trembling incessantly a clear sign of exhaustion Cher You Yun zongzi began but before he could finish yunio suddenly coughed up blood Cher he exclaimed in alarm quickly moving closer father have the lho mountain people departed yunio inquired mustering her strength jelang and his men have left for now we are safe yanzong replied his heart aching with concern that is good upon hearing that chilin Pavilion was temporarily secure yuno's Vision darkened and She fainted She had been holding on her nerves taught and now that she could finally relax she succumbed to unconsciousness Yan zong's heart achd at the sight and his gaze fell upon the black wooden zither on the table this zither as a practitioner of the third tier yanzi immediately sensed something a Miss with it but there was no time to investigate further he would inquire once he had attended to his injuries inside the lho mountain Hall jel young entered his face smeared with dirt accompanied by two stewards the Chief Elder Jang ba frowned upon seeing their disheveled State what transpired during your visit to chilin Pavilion to leave you in such a state where are the other two stewards Jang ba demanded dissatisfaction evident in his tone reporting to the Elder we encountered a master of the zither AT chilin Pavilion and I was Gravely injured by him the other two stewards perished during the mission jyang replied weakly a master of the zither elaborate Jang ba said astonished he had assumed that a second tier Elder leading four third tier stewards would have no trouble dealing with chilin pavilion but he never anticipated such an unforeseen turn of events initially everything was going smoothly I was on the verge of defeating Yan zongzi but at a critical moment a Melody emanated from one of the chambers in chilin Pavilion the music was enchanting yet it contained a terrifying energy like an insurmountable Mountain rendering my efforts feudal jelang recounted in despair he vividly remembered the feeling of helplessness against the overwhelming force of the melody such Sensations were akin to facing a first tier master from your account it seems chilin Pavilion possesses a first tier Master a master of the zither Jang B remarked Gravely this Revelation was not good news for lungo Mountain indeed only a first tier expert could have repelled my great seablade technique it appears chilin Pavilion has secretly summoned a powerful figure jelang concluded finding some solace in identifying the opponent had he known he was bested by a mere six tier young girl his mental state might have shattered the existence of a first tier Master AT chilin Pavilion indicates they are not as weak as we had presumed jeang ba noted sternly this level of power dealing with him becomes exceedingly difficult Elder what shall we do now if the Prime Minister learns of our failure will we Face punishment jelang asked anxiously knowing the prime minister's ruthlessness extended not only to Outsiders but also to those within their ranks who failed to perform do not fret first investigate this zither Master thoroughly and then we shall devise a targeted resolution without this master capturing chilin Pavilion will be a simple task Jang B instructed solemnly understood I will dispatch someone to investigate immediately jelang responded eagerly though he was Gravely injured he knew he could not afford to be LAX only by redeeming himself could he hope to survive I will assist you in dealing with the Prime Minister and the sect leader but but I can only Grant you two days once you have gathered the necessary information report back to me and I will lead a team to resolve this issue janga said his brow furrowed his own position was at stake for the failure of the mission necessitating such measures very well I shall begin the investigation at once jelang exclaimed elated with a first tier expert like Jang B leading the charge success seemed assured the crisis at chilin Pavilion had not truly dissipated rather it had drawn forth an even more formidable adversary when wongon returned to the Imperial melum it was already midday upon his return he changed back into his Prince's attire and summoned the little servant little servant for the next few days keep a close watch on chilin Pavilion I sense they may encounter trouble won instructed his brow furrowed earlier while passing through the streets he had overheard pedestrians discussing how chil and Pavilion had angered the Prime Minister and that individuals from lho Mountain were planning to deal with them which left Wong feeling uneasy about their fate Yes master I will go at once the little servant replied without hesitation promptly departing Wong Ton's concern for chilin Pavilion stemmed from two reasons firstly he felt a sense of guilt towards yunio as he had sullied her reputation and thus sought to make amends secondly he sensed a deep connection between yunio and the Exquisite female corpse within the black melum and he believed that uncovering the identity of that corpse would require delving into yuno's Past after the little servant left wongon Had A light meal before venturing deeper into the melum determined to continue drawing on his ancestors power to enhance his own abilities there were many mums accessible to those of the seventh tier which one should he choose this time Wong tion found himself in a quandry as the mosum housed numerous ordinary Emperor tombs no fewer than 30 however he dared not make a random Choice with time pressing he needed to select an ancestor whose Legacy would be most beneficial I recall there was an emperor who was a disciple of sh sh renowned for his exceptional cultivation it is said he fell in love with his beautiful Master yet ultimately did not marry her I wonder what transpired between them perhaps I shall visit this ancestors melum wongon resolved promptly making his way to the designated tomb shushan was one of the top three sects in the deian Empire and Wang tion hoped to glean something useful from this ancestor chapter 26 the secrets of the sword Emperor the emperor Wong tion sought a disciple of shushan was none other than Wong poisly titled the sword Emperor he was the emperor with the highest swordsmanship talent in the history of the deian Empire unmatched by any Royal disciple over the Millennia from a young age the sword Emperor demonstrated a remarkable talent for swordsmanship and to ensure his potential was not wasted his father sent him to shushan the foremost sword sect to train under the guidance of the first sword Immortal of shushan emo ching chang emo ching chang was not only the first sword Immortal of shushan but also the youngest Elder and universally acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in the sect a the age of 12 Wong xang became her disciple receiving both care and daily life and guidance and swordsmanship over time he developed feelings for His stunning Master at that time a romantic relationship between master and disciple was considered taboo not accepted by Society especially given the 20-year AG difference between them making it particularly difficult to accept Wong xong was compelled to keep his feelings hidden point 10 years later upon his father's passing Wong Jang ascended to the throne reluctantly he left shushan for the palace mustering the courage to express his affection to his beautiful Master before departing oin Ching rejected his confession but offered her assistance to help him secure his position as Emperor at that time the court was rif with Intrigue the Prime Minister held significant power the emperor's Uncle eyed the throne hungrily and the ministers were discontent with the Young Ruler Wong Jong having been away from court for a decade and still young found it challenging to command respect fortunately with emo Ching Ching's help he navigated the Court's challenges and successfully assumed governance however 5 years into his Reign to solidify his position Wong Jang was compelled to marry the daughter of a general after which emo ching ching vanished Without a Trace strangely after her disappearance the sword Emperor Wong Jang made no effort to search for her nor did he take any interest in the General's daughter becoming solely obsessed with sword cultivation and he had no Offspring until his death this segment of History harbored many Secrets unknown to Outsiders Wong tion's choice of the sword Emperor was driven by his desire to uncover any relevant Clues from the ancestors remains reflecting on the life of the sword Emperor Wong Jong Wong tion couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy even Emperors found it challenging to escape the trials of Love channeling the dragon energy within him Wong tion walked steadily towards the sword Emperor's melum upon encountering the dragon energy barrier he easily passed through however as soon as he stepped into the courtyard of the melum he was met with a wave of intense sword energy crashing over him like a tumultuous tide immersing him in a sea of Swords the air was thick with the essence of Sword energy as if the entire Cosmos was infused with blades permeating every crevice and Corner such a terrifying sword formation even the slightest weakness in one's power would be enough to deter one from advancing Wong tion immediately discerned the presence of a sword array within the courtyard of the melum realizing that a moment's carelessness could lead to his demise before even entering the grand hall however he did not waver after taking a deep breath he grasped the juen sword firmly in his hand as soon as the juen sword materialized it began to tremble violently seemingly issuing a warning to the sword energy within the melum asserting its dominance I am here silence yourselves indeed after the swords Fierce quaking the sword intent in the melum subsided considerably the juen sword being The Sovereign among swords eased Wong tion's apprehensions as it suppressed the sord aray how fortunate it was to possess the juian sword Wong tion affectionately caressed the blade growing increasingly fond of it before striding toward the entrance of the melum it the entrance stood a colossal Stone from which a Cerulean sword was thrust inscribed with the characters Ching Xin this was the sword of the sword Emperor Wang xang the sword intent within the melum emanated from this very blade yet under the suppression of the juian sword the Ching xien sword appeared remarkably subdued with his interest in the Ching xien sword diminished Wong tion cast a fleeting glance at it before pushing the door open upon entering he was immediately met by nine piercing sword energies that surged toward him sealing off all avenues of retreat Wong tion was astonished to discover that not only did the Courtyard Harbor a sword array but the melum itself boasted an even more domineering sword energy faced with the rapid approach of the nine sword energies Wang tion chose to advance rather than retreat channeling his dragon energy into the juusen sword and cleaving forward with a single stroke the sword sang like a dragon its resonance echoing throughout the realm as if it sought to Rend the very fabric of existence I in an instant the nine sword energies were Shattered by the might of the juian sword reduced to Mere dust that dissipated into the air suddenly Tranquility enveloped the world once more as if time itself had come to a standstill with only the icy gleam of the juen sword in Wong tion's grasp echoing the remnants of the battle what a narrow Escape had it not been for the juian sword he might have met his end just moments ago wongon inwardly reflected on the gravity of the situation no longer daring to underestimate the melum he gleaned a crucial Insight from his experience the higher the rank of the melum the greater the Peril a moment's inattention could lead to death within its confines after obliterating the nine sword energies Wong tion cautiously stepped deeper into the melum as he surveyed the suroundings he noticed that nine Exquisite swords hung suspended from the ceiling and beneath them lay a pair of coffins at the center of the hall aside from these the entire chamber was devoid of any other objects such a pristine melum containing only swords and a pair of coffins the nine sword energies must have been Unleashed from the swords above as Wang tion pondered this his gaze fell upon the double coffin in the center and a flicker of confusion crossed his mind though the sword Emperor had a wife he had never loved the empress nor had they ever shared a bed how could he possibly choose to be interred alongside her Wong tion's thoughts raced feeling the strangeness of the situation until he noticed the two swords engraved upon the coffin surface one was certainly the Ching xen sword but what of the other the Crimson blade could it be the hongyuan sword Wong tion recalled that the hongyuan sword was entirely red and bore the inscription Hong Yuan to confirm his speculation he stepped closer for a better look indeed as he had surmised the two swords engraved upon the cof were inscribed with ching xien and Hong Yuan respectively the Hong Yuan sword belonged to Amo ching ching The Sword Emperor mastered a this Revelation Wong tion's mind raced with implications could it be that the one interred alongside the sword Emperor was not his Empress but rather his revered Master emo chinging yet it was also possible that the sword Emperor had chosen to commemorate his master by having the Hong Yuan sword engraved upon the coffin wongon felt he was drawing closer to the truth now if he could just touch the remains of the interred woman he might uncover the identity of the one resting alongside the sword Emperor potentially unraveling the secrets of that era Resolute Wong tion tightened his grip on the juian sword and began to pry open the coffin lid all the while remaining Vigilant against the two sword runes inscribed upon it though the runes were not dragons their potency rivaled that of dragon runes perhaps even exceeding it as he Pride the coffin lid the instant it shifted the engraved swords Ching shin and Hong Yan suddenly transformed into two streams of razor sharp sword energy hurtling toward wongon with alarming speed entwined in a spiral their pressure palpable fortunately Wong tion had anticipated this and he promptly brandished the juian sword to counter the incoming energies the sound of dragon Roars and sword songs reverberated through the air yet they did not deter the two streams of Sword energy leaving wongon momentarily astounded this was the first time he had encountered sword energies that were unfazed by the res resent cries of the juian sword with a resounding Clash the two energies collided with the juian sword forcing wongon back two steps but that was the extent of their impact upon contact with the juen sword the sword array within it swiftly dismantled the energies Wong tion's heart surged with joy it worked the juen sword truly lived up to its name as The Sovereign of Swords elated he caressed the blade envisioning how Invincible he would become with the King of Swords and the mightiest sword techniques of shushan he eagerly lifted the coffin lid only to be met with a shocking Revelation inside lay two corpses clad not in funeral garments but in wedding attire one in a dark Crimson dragon robe the other adorned with a dark Crimson Phoenix crown and Veil such Splendid Bridal garments were reserved for an Emperor's wedding how could they be dawned in death shouldn't they wear funeral attire instead as a prince Wong tion was well versed in the customs and Protocols of the royal family yet the sight of these two corpses and wedding attire left him perplexed could it be an idea struck him but he hesitated to draw conclusions he decided to examine the remains first with that thought Wong tion reached into the coffin first touching the corpse of the sword Emperor Wong Jang whose identity was unmistakable given the dark Crimson dragon robe he wore the moment his hand made contact the systems voice echoed in his mind ding congratulations host you have encountered a terrestrial great corpse gaining the sword heart upon hearing this Wong TI 's heart leapt with joy with the sword heart he would become a genius in swordsmanship able to instantly comprehend profound sword techniques and achieve a state of unity with his sword how remarkable it made sense that the sword Emperor possessed the sword heart no wonder his talent in swordsmanship was so extraordinary satisfied with this reward Wong tion promptly addressed the system system I wish to comprehend the sword heart as soon as the words left his lips a torrent of immense energy surged into Wong tion's body I in the next moment he felt countless sword intense coursing through him and he could sense the swords within a kilometer radius with Clarity the juian sword resonated with some unseen Force vibrating violently in response Wong tion felt as though he had transformed into a sword he was The Sword and the sword was him upon opening his eyes he instinctively gripped The juian Sword and swung it forward unleashing a formidable sword energy that roared forth like a dragon intent on shattering all in its path its might was overwhelming akin to a thunderous Tempest shaking the very space around him upon colliding with the melum wall the sword energy obliterated it and continued onward soaring out of the melum the speed of this sword energy was so rapid that it was almost imperceptible leaving behind only the fleeting image of a colossal dragon in the air Point 50 m later the sword energy dissipated leaving behind a scene of Devastation Wong tion stood in awe having Unleashed a mere casual swing that bore several times the power of His usual strikes incredible with the sword heart Talent he and the juen sword had achieved a state of unity even without specific sword techniques each swing would carry formidable Force Wong tion brought the xien sword close to his eyes feeling a profound connection as if they shared a blood bond this was the state of unity between man and sword excellent with this sword heart Talent even against foes three levels above him he could hold his own Wong tion was thoroughly pleased with this new found gift after Gathering his thoughts he turned his attention to the other corpse within the coffin clad in the Phoenix crown and Veil it was evident that this was a female figure could she possibly be the sword Emperor's Empress it seemed unlikely as he had never loved her in life how could he choose to be interred with her after death Wong tion furrowed his brow in contemplation then reached into the coffin once more this time to touch the female corpse as's hand made contact the systems voice rang out once more ding congratulations host you have Ed a terrestrial great corpse gaining the long-lost sword technique 10,000 swords returned to the origin upon hearing that he had acquired the legendary sword technique 10,000 swords returned to the origin which had been lost for over a millennium since The Disappearance of the sword Simo chining Wong tion could hardly contain his excitement this was an unparalleled skill exclusive to shushan and it was said to have vanished from history none of shushan descendants have been able to comprehend this unique technique since then Overjoyed wangon realized realized that with this extraordinary sword technique his combat prowess would Ascend to new heights yet before he could test the might of 10,000 swords return to the origin another thought crossed his mind prompting him to return his gaze to the female corpse clad in the Phoenix crown and Veil indeed this female corpse was none other than the legendary sword Simo ching ching though they could not coexist in life they could only share a grave in death which explained their wedding garments Wong tion swiftly confirmed the identity of the remains but soon questions arose why then did her remains lie here was it not said that she vanished on the very night of the sword Emperor's wedding Wong tion pondered for a considerable time ultimately arriving at a singular conjecture the sword Saint emo Ching Chung who vanished years ago likely perished long before perhaps even on the night when the sword Emperor Wong xang was wed for the sake of the Doan Empire the sword Emperor endured the pain of survival yet for the love in his heart he resolutely refused to engage age with his betrothed it was only after his death that he chose to share a grave with his master emo Ching Chung Dawning wedding attire alas how tragic it is that a sword Saint and an emperor Bound by worldly conventions met such a dismal fate could they not have indulged in their desires just once Wong tion could not help but feel a twinge of melancholy were he in their position he would fiercely protect what he cherished regardless of whether the other party was a mentor or from a demonic Clan unwilling to lead such a burdensome existence redirecting his attention from their plight Wong tion recalled the unparalleled sword technique 10,000 swords returning to origin he had yet to test it and was curious about its formidable prowess gifted with the innate Talent of a sword heart he swiftly grasped the essence of the technique rewarded by the system closing his eyes he attuned himself to the surrounding swords within a kilometer radius sword come forth upon opening his eyes he bellowed and instantly swords within that range sword toward him the nine treasured swords suspended in the grand hall were the first to arrive followed by the Ching Xin sword embedded in a colossal Rock outside the courtyard had there been more swords within the kilometer the number that would have flown to wongon would undoubtedly have been greater excellent once my strength increases further my sensing range will expand Wong tion gripped the juian sword tightly fixing his Gaze on the massive stone at the entrance of the hall Point 10,000 swords returning to origin Wong tion Unleashed his drag energy reverberating through the heavens and with a single sweep of his sword 10 blades surged forth in an assault against the stone the flying sword streak across the air like 10 shooting stars carrying the might to obliterate the Earth crashing violently into the stone in an instant the stone was reduced to dust as if it had faced a cataclysmic disaster the ground below erupted forming a 10m deep crater dust swirling and obscuring the sky as the dust settled Wong tion beheld the immense pit astonished and speechless what incredible power I am merely at the seventh rank should I reach the first Rank and summon swords from 100 km radius could I not annihilate half a city in a single strike in that moment Wong tion recognized the unparalleled nature of 10,000 swords returning to origin worthy of its exalted title after calming his emotions wongon stored the 10 swords in the system space initially he regarded these swords with disdain but with the Advent of 10,000 swords returning to origin they had suddenly become invaluable once he had collected the swords he recalled another treasured blade and promptly returned to the coffin however after searching thoroughly he found the sword he sought to be absent um where is the Hong Yuan sword wongon discovered that emo chingching sword was not in the coffin he had assumed that since she lay within her sword would accompany her this realization disappointed him as he had hoped that the presence of both ching xiin and Hong Yuan would Elevate the power of 10,000 swords returning to origin yet it seemed he would have to let that hope go just as he prepared to leave a glimmer caught his eye from within the coffin a luminous object radiating an aura of spiritual energy immediately capturing his attention chapter 28 a Bloodshed triggered by a guen Wong tion's gaze was irresistibly drawn to this spiritually potent object what could this be he focused on the sole burial item within the coffin it was a vial of liquid resembling milk encased in a transparent bottle exuding a rich spiritual energy energy while intermittently emanating light curiosity peaked Wong tion carefully lifted the glowing milk cradling it in his hands for a closer inspection such dense spiritual energy with a color akin to milk could this be the fabled spiritual milk he unscrewed the cap and sniffed detecting no discernible odor yet the escaping spiritual energy quickened the flow of his dragon energy it indeed appeared to be the legendary spiritual milk a substance found only a top mount shoes ton on Peak and its Rarity was EXT ordinary why would the sword Emperor choose spiritual milk as the sole burial item Wong tion pondered perplexed he speculated that this vile might have been a gift from IMO Ching Chung something she cherished so dearly that she opted to in tume it with her instead of consuming it alternatively it could hold special significance for her which led to its selection as a burial offering regardless of the reason this vial of spiritual milk now belonged to Wong on how could such a precious item go to waste consuming it might Propel him to the sixth rank with this thought Wong tion promptly sat cross-legged and poured the entire vial of spiritual milk into his mouth s the spiritual milk coursed through him Wong tion's dragon energy erupted akin to a volcanic explosion the potency of this spiritual milk was remarkable he would use it to break through to the sixth rank suppressing his excitement Wong tion commenced his serious cultivation as night fell a shadow stealthily slipped into the back Courtyard of the chilin Pavilion undetected by any watchful eyes inside the chamber yunio who had slumbered the entire day finally began to awaken Yun jongi meditating nearby for recuperation visibly relaxed upon seeing his daughter stirred Cher you have finally awoken are you hungry I can have someone prepare noodles for you he said his face full of concern Dad where is my Guin yunio not preoccupied with food immediately inquired about her treasured instrument the black wooden guen held immense importance for her don't not fret it is here Yun jongi handed the black Guin to his daughter who upon touching it sighed in relief when did you acquire this black wooden Guin I have never seen it before Yun jongi asked unable to contain his curiosity as he noticed his daughter's deep attachment to it he was aware of her Proficiency in the Arts and that their home housed numerous instruments yet this particular Guin was unfamiliar to him this morning someone left this Guin at the entrance of archin Pavilion claiming it was a gift for me along with a letter xia Hong saw it and brought it to me yuno recounted intrigued by the identity of the person who had gifted her the Guin following her recent experience she had discovered the guin's remarkable capabilities feeling an extraordinary connection with it as if they were one whoever had bestowed such a powerful Guin upon her must possessed knowledge far beyond her own and there was a letter left for you let me see it Yun jongi sensing something was a Miss with the guen was eager to read the contents of the note the letter is here yunio retrieved the letter from beneath her pillow and handed it to her father upon scanning the Letter's contents Yun jong's brow furrowed the note merely stated that the Guin was a gift for yunio offering no further information leaving him without leads this person must hold you in great regard to bestow such a powerful black Guin upon you he returned the letter to his daughter his mind racing with questions why had the individual chosen to present the Guin to yunio that very morning coincidence or was it a deliberate Act moreover why did the Guin possess such formidable power in his daughter's hands defeating a second rank adversary while only at the sixth rank was a staggering feet transcending four great Realms it was a miracle Beyond description could this Guin be a Heavenly treasure Yun jongi mused privately dad can you help me find this person I sense they know me well if I locate them I might uncover the cause of my ailment yunio expressed after a moment of contemplation what does your illness have to do with this Guin Yun jongi inquired puzzled his greatest concern was his daughter's health and he would spare no effort to cure her from this black wooden guen I perceive the energy from my dreams a terrifying Force capable of cataclysmic destruction and it resonates with me as if our Bloodlines are intertwined yuno explained revealing her feelings hearing this Yun jongi fell into deep thought very well I shall make an effort to find this person he nodded sensing the necessity of locating them for perhaps they could provide a cure for his daughter's ailment as Dawn approached a shadow swiftly arrived at the Grand Hall of lho Mountain where someone awaited him Elder I have returned jelang declared removing the black cloak that had concealed his face revealing a menacing Visage though severely injured jelang with his second rank strength had successfully infiltrated The chilin Pavilion to gather intelligence without detection have you ascertained the identity of the one who plays the Guin Elder Jang B inquired in a deep voice yes I have confirmed that the Guin player is Yun Jung's daughter yunio jelang replied his expression indicating reluctance to accept this Revelation yunio the foremost Prodigy of the capital are you certain Elder janga exclaimed taken aack this news astonished him to his knowledge yunio was merely at the sixth rank how could she possibly defeat jelang a second rank master with just a Guin initially I too was astonished however I later overheard the mention that someone had delivered the Guin to her that morning it stands to reason that this Guin is extraordinary otherwise she could not have possibly triumphed over me with her sixth rank prowess jelang said clenching his fists in frustration the humiliation of being defeated by a mere sixth rank girl was intolerable if that is indeed the case this guen must be no ordinary instrument but a Peerless treasure perhaps even a Heavenly artifact Elder Jang Ba's eyes narrowed realizing that only a Heavenly treasure could enable a sixth rank girl to best a second rank expert it is highly probable that this is a Celestial grade treasure if we can seize this Guin the strength of our lho Mountain will Ascend to an entirely new Echelon exclaimed gelong with palpable excitement Celestial gr Treasures are coveted by all and in the Thousand Years of lho mountains development we have possessed merely two such Treasures if we were to acquire another this time it would be a Monumental achievement very well at dawn tomorrow I shall personally lead a large Force to besiege the chilin Pavilion this time I not only seek the heads of Yun jong's family but also that unparalleled guchin a Sinister glint flickered in the eyes of the grand Elder Jang ba chapter 29 once again besieged by lho Mountain the newly Risen Sun streamed through the window gently Illuminating the breathtakingly beautiful face of yunu rendering her akin to a Celestial being her long eyelashes trembled slightly under the sunlight and then she opened her jewel-like eyes after a night of rest Yun Su felt considerably revitalized though the spiritual energy in her Danton had yet to fully recover stretching lazily she turned to find her father quietly watching over her by the bedside evoking a deep sense of gratitude within her despite his injuries he had stayed by her side throughout the night not wishing to disturb him yunu Rose softly from her bed hoping to allow her father a bit more rest however as she moved Yun jongia eyes fluttered open dosu you are awake are you hungry I shall have someone prepare breakfast he said sitting up to make breakfast for her only to be halted by her gentle voice father you are injured and have kept vigil over me all night please return to your room to rest I will prepare breakfast for you yunu replied displaying remarkable understanding very well with relief flooding him at the sight of his daughter as well-being Yun jongi stepped out of the room however he was soon approached by A hurried servant bearing urgent news Master a large contingent from lungo Mountain has surrounded us and the leader is the grand Elder Jang ba the servants face was etched with panic how could one not be alarmed when a first tier Master leads the charge I should have anticipated that they would not relent Yun jong's expression turned grave and he quickly turned to Yun Su sewer Escape through the secret passage I shall hold them off for a while Yun jong's foremost concern remained his daughter's safety yet Yun Su had already discerned lho mountains nefarious intentions father they seek the lives of our family if I flee it will only bring Peril to chilin Pavilion it is better to fight with all we have she declared resolutely even if death loomed she would face it with dignity especially with her final hope still intact moreover I possess the Huen it drove them back yesterday and it can do so again today she stated glancing at the black wooden Guin on the table Yun jongi could scarcely bear the thought of his daughter perishing alongside him yet the miraculous events of the previous day ignited a flicker of hope within him very well remain here in the budoir I shall lead the resistance once you hear the sounds of battle begin to play the Guin whether we can repel them depends on this moment he resolved he understood that even if he allowed his daughter to escape the likelihood of her survival against lho Mountain was slim thus it was better to fight for a chance at survival once the plan was set Yun jongi gathered all the experts of chilin Pavilion and surged forth to confront their adversaries a that moment Grand Elder Jang ba and his men stormed in meeting them headon Yun jongi at last you have shown yourself yesterday I sent envo is to extend a cordial invitation for you to join lho mountain and yet you chose to injure my disciples what is your true intent Jang baun's voice was icy Laden with a hint of accusation Grand Elder I have made my intentions clear chilin Pavilion has no desire to join lungo Mountain yongi replied unyielding for the injuries to your disciples they initiated the conflict with my own this statement ired Jang B greatly hemp you bring Misfortune upon yourself Doo you truly believe that a Celestial great Gucci can withstand the might of lho mountain Jang ba sneered his expression darkening too secur the conquest of Chillin Pavilion Jang ba had brought along 300 disciples besides himself a first tier Master he had two second tier experts and five third tier Masters along with nearly 300 others of various ranks this formidable force was more than sufficient to obliterate an intelligence sect like chilin Pavilion Yun jongi upon witnessing the array of skilled Fighters behind janga felt a chill run down his spine with such a a multitude of experts their few disciples AT chilin Pavilion stood no chance yet as the leader of the Pavilion he maintained a facade of composure I Yun jongi have lived with honor and integrity even in death I shall not conspire with Su Janan he declared slowly drawing his sword to signify his resolve the hundreds of disciples from chilin Pavilion followed suit unhee their blades in unison very well if you are so eager for death I shall Grant your wish kill Jang ba commanded and immediately his followers Drew their weapons and charged forward kill Yun jongi did not Retreat instead he raised his sword and charged ahead followed closely by his disciples soon the two sides clashed fiercely however the battle commenced with a decidedly lopsided outcome the Disciples of chilin Pavilion fell rapidly and within moments several lay dead at the hands of lho mountain the ground a wash in blood unless a miracle occurred by noon all of CH and Pavilion over a 100 disciples would likely perish just then ethereal and haunting Melodies began to drift from the budoir The Sounds weaving through the air like Mist enchanting all who heard them under the influence of the music the once ferocious Disciples of lho mountain seemed entranced their attacks growing erratic some struck their own allies While others turned their blades upon themselves in an instant the tides of battle began to shift seeing this Yun jong's heart soared with joy it appeared his daughter's Guin was once again proving its worth kill seizing the fleeting opportunity he rallied his disciples to Counterattack and in the ensuing chaos they managed to slay a number of Jang Ba's disciples Jang Ba's expression darkened ominously upon witnessing this turn of events he too felt the enchanting power of the guin's music penetrating flesh to reach the soul causing a temporary loss of self- Dash control oh this is the power of a master of the Guin the music can pierce the body and reach the spirit rendering one Divo of Reason truly a Celestial gr guen he mused narrowing his eyes channeling his true energy he bellowed shattering the entrancing notes that had infiltrated his being beside him jelang struggled to withstand the effects of the music but managed to hold on Grand Elder I was defeated by that very music yesterday Yun Su is in the budoir across from us if we eliminate her the rest of chilin Pavilion will pose no threat jalong declared his frustration palpable the notion of being bested by a mere sixth tier girl was intolerable to him how could a girl of such low cultivation wield music capable of disorienting so many that Guin must be mine that a glimmer of greed flickered in Jang Ba's eyes if he were to possess this Celestial treasure his power would Surge and his influence within the sect would grow immensely very well let me have a word with you he declared summoning a gray long sword that shimmered ominously in his grasp infusing it with true energy the blade emitted a resounding hum and once charged to its peak he hurled it toward the budoir where Yun Su remained Chapter 30 the harrowing fate of Yun Su as the gry long sword flew from Jang Ba's hand it elongated in the wind swiftly transforming into a colossal blade measuring 3 m in length and one foot in width like a shooting star the massive sword sliced through the sky emanating an overwhelming Aura akin to that of a fierce Dragon crashing into the budoir where Yun Su was ins sconed a te that moment Yun Su sensed the imminent Peril and quickened her fingers upon the tin maen the music becoming increasingly urgent the notes morphed into the form of a black Phoenix soaring valiantly to meet the gray dragon forged by the massive sword the two opposing energies collided midair with a thunderous crash the gray giant sword swiftly gained the upper hand overpowering the guin's melodic defense hph merely a sixth tier cultivator dares to challenge me Jang B remarked his confidence solidified though his sword was not celestial it was a fine Earth grade weapon the Chong hen sword and with the weight of his first tier cultivation its might was formidable jelang observing the situation felt a surge of excitement as he witnessed the grand Elder sword dominating the field as expected of the grand Elder a single strike and the guin's music is suppressed with the melody stifled the once Bewitched Disciples of lho mountain began to regain their senses turning their Fury against the Disciples of chilin Pavilion this is bad se s music has been suppressed Yun jong's heart sank with concern for his daughter yet he had no time to spare his Focus dedicated to slaying their foes within the budoir Yun su's delicate Alabaster fingers danced frantically upon the strings of the Guin akin to a flurry of butterflies the pressure bearing down upon her was unprecedented beads of sweat glistened on her Fair forehead soaking her bangs as droplets trickled down her pristine neck there was no time to wipe away the sweat her complexion had turned unnaturally pale and the spiritual energy within her surged forth uncontrollably regrettably her energy had not fully replenished making her struggle against Jang ba increasingly arduous I cannot lose if I fail my father my family and all my brothers and sisters of chilin Pavilion will perish she bit down hard on her lip channeling every ounce of her remaining energy for one final stand I in a protracted battle against a first tier Master she knew she could not endure thus she had to rely on a moment of EXP exposive power to defeat him this was her last glimmer of hope s she Unleashed this final surge of energy the music of the guen transformed dramatically resonating with the proud Cry of a black phoenix the energy of the Chen music surged rapidly causing the gray giant swords attack to falter its speed directed towards the Chen room diminishing until it came to a complete standstill this little girl truly possesses remarkable tenacity the grand Elder Jang ba wore a grave expression he had not anticipated that that dealing with a mere sixth grade girl would prove so Troublesome consequently he resolved to hold nothing back do you think you can obstruct my Chong hen sword prepare to perish with a casual wave of his hand a surge of pure vital energy infused the Chong hen sword once more causing it to enlarge and intensify its assault significantly the Chen music was once again suppressed and the proud black Phoenix's cries became feudal the disparity and strength was insurmountable even with yunio wielding the Heavenly grade tachin she remained incapable of overcoming it I cannot lose I cannot lose feeling her Chen music being suppressed once more yuno's heart raced anxiously her slender Jade fingers danced over the strings with renewed fervor sweat trickled down her forehead like a String of Pearls falling onto the strings with a crisp sound her gaze was focused and Resolute as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the notes upon the strings her heartbeat quickened in tandem with the rhythm of the music as if it might leap from her chest yunio had exerted herself to the utmost yet still could not withstand the onslaught of the Chong hen sword with a sudden cough blood sprayed from her lips the rapid depletion of both her spiritual and physical energy rendered her body unable to endure any longer yet even in her weakened State she clung to her willpower break for me Jang ba now impatient waved his hand again channeling more vital energy into the changen sword the gray giant sword swelled once more while yunio found herself devoid of spiritual energy her Chen music weakened further Boom at last the Chen music was shattered by the changen sword which then struck the room where yunio resided unleashing a tremendous force that reduced the chamber to Rubble enveloping it in dust and Chaos yunio Yun jongi upon hearing the explosion behind him felt his heart race with alarm the very scenario he had dreaded had come to pass his daughter was his Achilles heel and he would not allow anyone to harm her without hesitation he turned and rushed towards the shattered dwelling determined to ensure his daughter's safety jelang witnessing the grand Elders triumph over the Chen music was elated truly the grand Elder is unparalleled it is fortunate to have your intervention xang lavished praise upon Him Grand Elder Jang B reveled in the flattery his spirits lifted further by the prospect of acquiring a Heavenly gr Chen once I eliminate the Y family and bring the chilin Pavilion under my sway I shall report to the chancellor with confidence Jang B felt assured of Victory s the dust settled he finally caught sight of yunio amidst the ruins she lay sprawled on the ground half buried beneath debris covered in dust and looking utterly disheveled her body exceedingly weak marked by numerous blood stains the black wooden Sheen before her had been Shattered by the collapsing table yet miraculously remained intact with the surrounding dust refraining from touching its surface a phenomenon of Mystique shower Yun jongi rushed into the rubble lifting his daughter who appeared battered and disheveled at Sher are you all right the sight of his daughter in such a state wrenched his heart father I am useless I could not fend off the assault from lho Mountain yunio clenched her delicate fist filled with reluctance had her strength reached the fourth grade she could have fought Jang ba yet at this moment the gap between her and Jang ba as power was insurmountable and after her battle with jalang yesterday her spiritual energy was nearly depleted a night's rest had only restored less than half of her strength in such a state how could she possibly contend with Jang ba father knows you have done your utmost I will not blame you holding yuno close Yun jong's eyes glistened with our Ed S the dust cleared Jang ba jalong and others finally discerned the scene of yunio and Yun jongi amidst the ruins yet his gaze scoured the debris for the Heavenly gr Chen Untouched by dust it emitted a faint Aura of Darkness standing out remarkably amidst the wreckage I as this the legendary Chen it truly Remains unblemished by dust no wonder it is a Heavenly gr treasure Jang Ba's excitement surged this heavenly gr Chen would soon be his however before that he must eliminate the father and daughter Duo Yun jongi do you have any final words to impart with a flourish of his hand the massive changen sword pointed ominously at Yun jongi you returned to inform Su Janan that upon my death his misdeeds will be laid bare for all to see and he shall undoubtedly be become the target of public scorn destined to meet a fat Ain to mine Yun jong's gaze was filled with malice as he fixed his eyes on Jang Bao this world is one of the survival of the fittest no one cares whether one commits evil or good enough it is time to send you both to the afterlife Jang ba smirked derisively before casually waving his hand sending the gray giant sword hurtling towards Yun jongi and yunio yet at that moment an unexpected turn of events unfolded chapter 31 a sword approaches D in The Sword Emperor's tomb Wong tion sat cross-legged on the ground much like a famished infant ravenously absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit connecting liquid with each intake the dragon energy within him surged rapidly Wong tion skillfully directed The escalating dragon energy to circulate within his body eventually channeling it into his Danton the dragon energy continued to converge causing the golden dragon energy in his Danton to rapidly coales ultimately forming a golden egg a rare phenomenon that occurs during the cultivation of dragon energy this dragon egg is not a genuine dragon egg but rather a manifestation of Highly condensed dragon energy with a sigh Wong tion opened his eyes exhaling a plume of golden turbid energy his excitement barely contained the spirit connecting liquid has helped me condense a dragon egg this means I now have the opportunity to refine a dragon soul throughout the Millennia of the deian Dynasty's history only the first emperor has successfully refined a dragon soul no no other Emperor has achieved this not even the six saintly monarchs however the formation of a dragon egg does not guarantee a dragon soul as it also depends on subsequent cultivation and opportunity one could only say that the condensation of the dragon egg lays the foundation for refining a dragon soul in addition to forming the dragon egg Wong tion had successfully broken through to the sixth grade significantly enhancing his strength once more excellent I have reached the sixth grade I can now visit the more advanced tombs to pay my respects to my ancestors with anticipation in his heart Wong tion bowed to the sword Emperor's coffin before turning to exit the tomb however just as he stepped out shiau rushed towards him in a flurry shiau what brings you here did I not instruct you to keep watch over the chilin Pavilion as soon as wangan voiced his concern he sensed that something might have gone arai at the chilin Pavilion indeed xia newk next words sent a chill down his spine Master a large number of experts from lungo Mountain have surrounded The chilin Pavilion Shia new stated calmly the people from lungo Mountain are indeed up to know good Wong tion snorted coldly without hesitation he dashed towards the Royal tomb retrieving a change of clothes from his system space upon exiting the Royal tombs Gates Wong tion had already transformed his attire clad in a black cloak a silver mask and new shoes he was unrecognizable as a prince he sped away anxious that he might be too late and that yunio could be harmed the Exquisite corpse in the black tomb was undoubtedly connected to yunio and to cover the identity of that corpse one must first seek her out furthermore he had once owed yuno a debt and did not wish to see her perish after reaching the sixth grade Wong tion's speed had significantly increased it took him only the time it takes to burn a stick of incense to travel from the Royal tomb to The chilin Pavilion at full speed upon arriving at the chilin Pavilion he heard the music abruptly cease followed by a deafening explosion emanating from within this is bad yunio is in danger Wong ion's expression changed dramatically as he surveyed the surroundings noticing that numerous Disciples of lho mountain were guarding the entrance to the chilin Pavilion it would be time consuming and laborious to charge in through the front I'll jump over from the back Courtyard with a decisive thought wongon circle to the chilin pavilion's rear the back Courtyard was devoid of lho mountains disciples allowing wongon to effortlessly scale the wall too gained a clearer view of the situation in the front Courtyard he leapt onto the roof of a building in the back Courtyard from his elevated position his line of sight expanded significantly and he quickly observed the unfolding events in the front Courtyard a massive gray giant sword hovered ominously in the air beneath which lay Yun jongi and yunio both sprawled on the ground covered in dust and in a state of utter disarray clearly too weak to retaliate upon witnessing this Wong tion's expression shifted dramatically this is terrible yunio is going to die instantly he summoned The juian Sword and hurled it to towards the gray giant sword at that moment Yun jongi held yuno tightly his eyes filled with despair as they faced Jang Ba's overwhelming assault powerless to resist they could only close their eyes and await death Jang Bal pointed casually and the changen sword shot towards Yun jongi and yunio at Breakneck speed I in their minds the father and daughter Duo were undoubtedly doomed yet just then an unforeseen turn of events occurred as a silver white long swword struck with thunderous Force sending the gry Chong hen sword flying away Landing a distance away the silver white long sword then lodged itself diagonally in front of yunio and Yun jongi this Sudden Change startled everyone present before Jang Bao and the others could react a deep resonant voice echoed through the air if you wish to kill them you must first ask for my permission Wong tion intentionally lowered his voice for otherwise his original tone would have easily revealed his identity the emergence of this voice shifted the focus of everyone present towards wangon Yun jongi and Y shio instinctively turned their gaze spotting a figure clad in a black cloak and silver mask standing majestically at top the roof a gentle breeze swept by causing his black cloak to Billow like ink clouds while the silver mask glimmered with a cold light reminiscent of stars twinkling in the night sky he appeared as if he were a savior suddenly materializing in that place yuno's gaze was fixed intently on Wong tion a wave of inexplicable excitement flashing through her heart Yun jongi felt more of a deep sense of gratit ude when the chin Pavilion found itself in Dire Straits there was still someone willing to defy lho mountain and come to their aid this Noble sentiment was etched deeply in his heart however Jang ba and the others cast glances at wongon their expressions tinged with a hint of anger who dares to disrupt our Good Fortune at lho Mountain with a wave of his hand Jang ba summoned his long hen sword back from afar I am a disciple of the ancestral master of shushan here to Aid The chilin Pavilion your attack on the chilin Pavilion is tanto to attacking us the shushan sect Wong tion had woven a fabricated identity for himself one he had meticulously crafted before his arrival since he intended to Traverse the Marshal World under a false identity it was only fitting that he adopt a prestigious one and being a disciple of the ancestral master of shushan was most appropriate as he possessed the sword heart and was Adept in one of shush Shan's three unparalleled sword techniques the 10,000 swords returning to one anyone who laid eyes on him would undoubtedly believe him to be a disciple of sh a disciple of shushan Jang Ba's expression slightly shifted shushan was one of the top three sects in the deian Empire it's overall strength surpassing that of lho mountain if he truly were a disciple of the ancestral master of shushan then they would be facing a formidable opponent beside him jel young also grew anxious Elder he is but one person what do we have to fear should we fail this Mission the chancellor will hold us accountable moreover the Heavenly grade Bion is right before our eyes can can you bear to watch it slip away jalang quickly interjected the destruction of the chilin Pavilion was his task and if Elder Jang B retreated he would be doomed thus he had to persuade the Elder to eliminate Yun jungi thereby giving him an explanation for the chancellor and the sect leader besides with the mask on it was uncertain whether he was truly a disciple of shushan seeing that the Elder remained silent gelang hastily added how can we let a duck that s landed in our mouths Fly Away Jang Ba's gaze fell upon the Ste bowing on the ground and he soon made up his mind nonsense you are not a disciple of shushan Jang B pointed the long hen sword at the mass Wang tion and bellowed Disciples of shushan are always straightforward and never walk the Marshal World under false pretenses your masked appearance clearly indicates you are a fraud I ask that so wongon smirked slightly and then shouted sword come forth instantly swords within a 5 km radius seemed to respond to a summons unsheathing and flying towards wongon chap 32 The Melody of sword and Chen with Wong tion's command swords in the vicinity of 5 km appear to have been Enchanted soaring towards him the first to respond were all the swords of the chilin Pavilion including those of its disciples lho Mountain disciples and even the sword of Elder Jang ba which vibrated in response what is happening why is the long hen sword out of control Elder Jang baun's heart tightened and he quickly exerted his pure Chi to firmly control the longen sword ensuring it did not join the others summoned by w W tion though Jang Bao was at the first Rank and Wong tion was merely at the sixth rank his summoning could not match Jang baun's strength however the swords of the other disciples from lungu Mountain were being drawn to wongon one sword two swords three swords every sword was irresistibly summoned and my sword My Sword the Disciples of Lono Mountain attempted to grasp their swords but the speed at which the swords flew was too Swift they could only watch helplessly as their swords soared towards wangon the swords of The chilin Pavilions disciples also quickly flew towards wangon including Yun jong's yunong sword and yuno's fine sword father our swords have flown away yuno grew anxious it was her first time witnessing her sword acting out of control this person must be a master of the sword perhaps having already comprehended the sword heart Yun jongi did not attempt to retrieve his sword he was currently too weak to do so so he allowed it to fly away comprehended the sword heart yuno gasped she had heard of the prowess of the sword heart noting that those who grasped it were few and far between it seemed this individual was of great significance she wondered why he would assist the chilin Pavilion s Yun jongi felt moved a glimmer of hope arose in his heart if the other party had comprehended the sword heart he was certainly not an ordinary person and perhaps he could indeed defeat Jang ba not only were they affected but on the streets outside the chilin Pavilion martial artists passing by with swords found their weapons suddenly drawn towards the Chillin Pavilion damn it why did my sword fly away on its own mine too what is going on have the swords become cient so has mine it seems some forces is summoning them everyone look all the swords are flying towards the chin Pavilion indeed let us go see countless swords took to the skies drawing the attention of onlookers and many curious individuals rushed towards the chilin Pavilion I in addition to the martial artists on the street all the swords in the weapon shops were also affected by the summoning vibrating violently before sing towards the chilin Pavilion my sword My Sword the weapon shop owner watching his swords vanish was on the verge of tears upon stepping outside he realized other people's swords had also flown away thus he joined the throng in search of their swords racing towards the chilin Pavilion beyond the street were some families in the capital and They too had numerous swords that flew away soon a dense swarm of Flying Swords filled the skies above the chilin Pavilion a cursory glance revealed at least a thousand swords these swords akin to Celestial soldiers summoned from the heavens blanketed the entire Sky each sword glimmered with a cold light and the air was thick with sword energy as if it sought to Rend the very heavens asunder Wong tion was equally astonished by the sheer number of Swords summoned he had not anticipated that such a simple command would yield so many too Amplified the power of the 10,000 swords returning to one Wong tion also released nine treasured swords obtained from The Sword Emperor's tomb from his system space however he refrained from releasing the sword Emperor as personal sword the Ching Xin sword fearing it might reveal his identity as the number of swords in the sky above the chilin Pavilion swelled the expressions of Jang ba and jelang grew increasingly grave Elder this person has summoned so many swords could it truly be a disciple of shushan jelang feeling anxious contemplated the consequences of such a multitude of Swords raining down one would not escape and scathed this person likely comprehended the sword heart or else it would be impossible to summon so many swords Jang ba tightened his grip on the long hen sword had he not suppressed the sword with his Chi it too would have been summoned comprehended the sword heart could it be that shushan has produced another sword genius jalang gasped anyone who could grasp the sword heart ultimately became a top tier sword master even breaking through to the realm of Sword Immortals while it remained uncertain whether he was truly a disciple of shushan it was clear he was a prodigy in the art of the sword however defeating Jang ba with mere swords would be impossible Jang baun's eyes narrowed as the Chief Elder of lho mountain he had his own strengths to rely on yet just as he finished speaking a scene that filled him with Dread unfolded 10,000 swords returning to one Wong tion's powerful shout reverberated through the universe as if the very World trembled at his voice I in response the summoned swords all flew overhead and began to swirl forming a vortex-like sword array this array resembled a colossal black hole drawing in everything around it entrancing all who beheld it within the sword array countless blades flickered with cold light akin to innumerable stars shining brilliantly dazzling the eyes Wong tion stood amidst the sword array exuding an overwhelming pressure as if a deity had descended upon the Mortal realm his gaze was cold and merciless as if surveying the entirety of the world in his hand he wielded a zuskin sword radiating endless sword energy that sent chills down the spine Wong tion did not unleash the 10,000 swords returning to one instead he maximized his imposing Aura to intimidate the members of Longo Mountain at present Wong tion was at the sixth rank while facing him were a first rank Elder two second rank individuals and five third rank Masters among many other skilled Fighters such a powerful assembly made it exceedingly difficult to defeat them all with just one move of the 10,000 swords returning to one even Elder Jang ba could not be easily vanquished so Wong tion intended to use the overwhelming pressure of the 10,000 swords returning to one to force Lono Mountain to retreat the formidable Aura of the 10,000 swords returning to one indeed astonished all present what a powerful sword array father this person is incredible yunio gazed at Wong ton her eyes shining with admiration could this be the 10,000 swords returning to one one of the three unparalleled sword techniques of shushan Yun jongi was once again taken aback he had never before felt such a powerful sword array the 10,000 swords returning to one is this sword technique truly that formidable yuno looked at her father with confusion of course it is shushan is renowned for its three unparalleled sword techniques the opening of The Heavenly gate the sword exiting 9ly and this 10,000 swords returning to one Yun jongi gazed at Wong tition above his eyes filled with astonishment so this is the true might of the 10,000 swords returning to one yuno's heart raced but that's not all as far as I know the 10,000 sword returning to one has been lost to shushan for over a thousand years yet today we witness the long lost technique once more truly remarkable The Hope in Yun jong's eyes grew ever stronger with such a powerful Ally it seemed The chilin Pavilion might be saved yunio hearing this was equally Amazed by Wong tion's prowess this soray had not only caught Yun jong's attention but Jang ba the Elder of lho mountain had also recognized its significance how is this possible this lad actually knows the 10,000 swords returning to one Jang ba wore an expression of disbelief the technique of Wan Jen gu zong had been lost to shushan for over a millenium how could it be that someone suddenly knew how to wield such a move beside him jelang was equally alarmed Elder could it truly be W Jen guong if so does that not mean the opponent is indeed a disciple of shushan jang's voice trembled the ability to execute Wan Jen gu zong could only belong to a disciple of shushan and one of considerable rank perh perhaps even a direct disciple of the venerable ancestor of shushan a grave expression crossed Jang Ba's face as he clenched his fists tightly though he had confirmed the opponent's identity he was unwilling to concede so easily now do you believe in my identity as a disciple of shushan won shouted from the rooftop addressing the Elder Jang ba aware that he could not overpower the masters of long hushen wongon sought to leverage shushan influence to subdue them yet Elder Jang B was not so easily swayed what of your identity as a disciple of shushan you stand alone and your strength is inferior to mine oh you think to repel us with merely one move Wan Jen guong Jang ba scoffed then Unleashed his own formidable Aura the sheer force made his robes Billow and his hair and beard flutter presenting a fearsome sight a a bold move to confront Wong tion Jang ba sword into the sky matching Wong tion's level Wong tion furrowed his brow at Jang Ba's audacity he had not expected to be intimidated determined he resolved to fight with all his might did you think you alone possessed a sword formation Jang ba chuckled coldly producing eight treasured swords from his spatial ring in addition to the Chang hen sword he already held totaling nine Chang hen wuin L wuya kuhai padan Hwang Bing song mingl as Jang ba uttered the names of the nine swords each blade emitted a corresponding Radiance resonating with him 0. n tribulation sword formation arise with a flourish of his hand the nine swords coales into an offensive formation emanating a terrifying sword Aura it's might only slightly inferior to Wong tion's W gone.it was known that the nine tribulation sword formation was one of the three renowned techniques of long hushen and as the Chief Elder Jang Ba's combat prowess was undeniably formidable the Disciples of long hushen were invigorated upon witnessing their Elder unleash a legendary sword formation especially jelang wonderful the Elder has revealed his ultimate skill jelang sigh in relief he had feared Jang B might retreat in fear of Wan Jin guong and shushan but it seemed he had worried unnecessarily and stark contrast to the Jubilation of the long hushan disciples Yan changi's expression grew grave Jang Bao was committing his full strength while the sword play of one Jen gu Zone was Superior the outcome would ultimately depend on the respective strengths and Realms of the combatants Yan Changi was particularly concerned about Wong tion sensing that the latter's aura was significantly weaker than Jang ba implying that Wong strength was inferior yunia upon hearing this also began to worry let me experience your wenong Jang baow declared channeling all his true Chi into the nine swords with a swift motion he sent the nine swords hurtling towards wangon at an astonishing speed it this moment wongon could not show weakness if a battle was to ensue he would fight wanin gu Zone Swift Wong tion stealed himself launching his own sword formation I in an instant the two formidable formations collided in madir the explosive Clash of Sword oras scattered fiercely as if they would Shred the very air itself below the structure of chilin Pavilion was struck by the surging sword energy collapsing under the pressure the onlookers hurriedly sought shelter when the two sword formations met Wen guong with its Superior formation in the might of the juian sword suly gained the upper hand yet it did not completely shatter the nine tribulation sword formation I did not expect Jin gu zong to be so formidable let us see how I can Outlast you Jang ba gritted his teeth channeling several sword techniques to amplify the sword Aura of the nine blades subtly countering the offensive of Wan Jen guong Wong tion realizing he could not achieve Victory with a single attack understood the dire situation his cultivation was at the sixth tier while the opponent was at the first tier in a war of attrition he could not compete and he dared not unleash his dragon's energy lest his identity be revealed as time passed wanan gu Zone was gradually being overwhelmed the nine tribulation sword formation gaining the upper hand excellent just as I surmised the opponent's realm is significantly lower than mine thus I have a firm grasp on Victory a glimmer of confidence shown in Jang baun's eyes below jelang witnessing the elders Advantage felt a surge of excitement however Yan changi's expression shifted once more this is bad the shushan disciples realm is much lower than Jang Ba's in a battle of of endurance they cannot compete if this continues he will lose Yan Changi was deeply anxious yunia to recognized the precariousness of the situation father pour all your spiritual energy into me the outcome of this battle hinges on this moment Yun grasped the black wooden zither before her Yan Changi immediately understood realizing they had no choice but to gamble everything he sat cross-legged channeling all his spiritual energy into his daughter yunia who upon receiving the rich energy visibly revitalized I in ancient times the zither and loot harmonized now the zither and sword would resonate yunia placed her delicate white fingers back on the tiono zither swiftly plucking the strings above chilin Pavilion two formidable sword formations from different Marshal Realms clashed fiercely Wang tion Wan Jen zong initially dominated with its overwhelming force and the kingly presence of the juian sword yet as time passed he began to falter a master of the first tier was indeed a for able opponent forcing him back Wong tion considered unleashing his dragon energy to turn the tide but he feared that such an act might expose his identity the scene was crowded with spectators not just within chilin Pavilion but also outside should he unleash his dragon energy his identity could be compromised Wong tion felt a growing urgency without releasing his dragon energy he could not sustain himself yet doing so risked revealing who he truly was just then a melodious and ethereal sound of zither music wafted Up From Below this music was like a Celestial Melody at times clear and delightful at times hauntingly beautiful yet within this Exquisite sound lay a terrifying energy akin to a black Phoenix from the depths of Hell shrieking to annihilate all in its path Jang ba who had initially believed victory was assured suddenly paled upon hearing the music what is happening did she not exhaust her spiritual energy how can she still produce this sound Panic grip Jang ba facing one Jen zong alone required him to unleash his full power and now with the addition of this terrifying zither music he might very well face defeat nevertheless he had to resist this music otherwise he would succumb to mental disarray calm heart charm Jang ba retrieved a Talisman for tranquility from his spatial ring and promptly affixed it to himself believing it would temporarily Shield him from the zither assault alas he was mistaken Yun was playing East Wind breaks not the Mind disrupting tin directions ambushed it was only when the music approached his body that Jang ba realized the piece was entirely different and the manner of attack had shifted dramatically you think you can harm me with such a change dreamon Jang B quickly regained his composure directing a portion of his true Chi towards the zither sound with a powerful strike his palm transformed into a ferocious tiger roaring as it lunged toward the black phoenix formed by the music The Clash of tiger and Phoenix energies erupted in the air neither side yielding an inch this is our final chance I I cannot afford to lose yuno's gaze was Resolute as her delicate fingers danced over the zither strings with increased speed resembling busy butterflies the music becoming increasingly urgent and the power of the black phoenix intensified Jang Ba's Tiger Palm technique began to show signs of being suppressed damn girl still unwilling to give up let me show you how to meet your end Jang Bal felt a headache coming on to counter this terrifying zither music he had to siphon some of the energy maintaining the nine tribulation sword formation barely managing to withstand the onslaught of sound however this action significantly weakened the nine tribulation sword formation allowing wongon to push Wan Jen gu zong forward once more seeing the sword formation Advance again Jang Ba's expression shifted he now had to contend with both Wang tion's Wan Jen gu Zong and yuna's zither music a challenge that was becoming increasingly overwhelming jelang hurry and deal with Yan Changi and his daughter do not let her continue playing Jang ba had not intended to call for assistance as it would tarnish his reputation but faced with life and death he had no choice yes Elder jelang responded drawing his weapon and charging towards Yun Kil Yan Changi and his daughter following him several masters from L hushen also surged towards Yun although their swords had been summoned Away by wongan their physical strength was sufficient to deal with the exhausted Yan Changi and his daughter this is bad they are coming for us Yan Changi exclaimed in alarm and Yun Xiao also sensed the impending danger she was currently fully focused on countering Jang ba should she lose her concentration both she and her father would be struck down by Jang Ba's Tiger Palm technique on the rooftop Wong tion observed the unfolding situation his gaze sharpening he then resumed his assault on Jang Bao with the juian sword while the remaining thousand swords redirected their trajectory hurtling towards jalong and the other disciples of lho mountain I in an instant swords descended like rain accompanied by a chilling sword aura that crashed down with ferocity this was the formidable Myriad swords returned to one technique its sword energy so Fierce it seemed capable of tearing the very Earth asunder Beware of the sword rain from Myriad swords return to one giang's expression shifted drastically as he halted channeling his true energy to withstand the onslaught of the violent sword reain the other disciples of lho mountain realizing the gravity of the situation abandoned their assault on yunio instead focusing their energies to fend off the terrifying barrage disciples below the fifth tier found themselves almost defenseless swiftly falling victim to the Relentless sword reain while those above the fifth tier could only struggle to resist any lapse in concentration potentially leading to their demise only two Experts of the second tier and five of the third tier managed to endure somewhat yet even they dared not relax in the face of the incessant Onslaught the sword Reign diminished Jang Ba's offensive against Wong tion but fortunate for him the juen sword remained the king among swords allowing him to barely hold his ground against Jang Bao who was was distracted by yunio these two are truly Troublesome Jang ba noted recognizing that jalong and his companions were now preoccupied with the sword Reign and would not be able to assist him it was now a contest of endurance he believed the two young ones could not Outlast him Jang ba intended to engage wangon and yunio in a war of attrition but he underestimated the situation sensing a fierce battle intent The juen Sword and the ton emo chin resonated surprising Wong tion as he noticed the juen sword suly quivering while while yunio observed the black wooden Chen in her hands vibrating in perfect synchrony in that moment the two Peerless weapons truly harmonized their power exponentially Amplified the juen sword radiated an a inspiring silver light while the ton emo chin Unleashed a terrifying black Aura I in the next second the sound of the chin shattered Jang Ba's ferocious tiger pal technique crashing toward him almost simultaneously the juen sword shattered the long hen sword at the Forefront of the nine Calamity sword formation followed by The hanwang Sword and then the mingl sword One By One The treasured swords were obliterated under Wong tion's command causing xang ba offensive to falter dramatically upon witnessing this a look of horror finally crossed Jang baun's face what is happening why have their attacks suddenly become so formidable for the first time he felt a Pang of fear desperately channeling his true energy to withstand their assault but it was already too late the combined might of The juen Sword and the Chen struck him simultaneously chapter 34 for a glimpse of Eternity confronted by the two surging energies Jang B experienced a profound sense of impending death for the first time in a moment of desperation he Unleashed a high-grade protective Talisman the sole Talisman he possessed for preserving his life which he had acquired at Great cost however it was now a necessity failure to use it meant certain death as the Chen sound Drew near the protective Talisman activated just in time enveloping him in a sphere of white light I in the next second the fantasmal black phoenix conjured by the Chen screeched as it collided with the white barrier almost simultaneously met By The juen Sword the two immense energies clashed against the Talisman erupting in a dazzling display of light yet the high-grade protective Talisman could only withstand the onslaught for a fleeting moment before shattering in the subsequent instant the Chen struck Jang ba directly forcing him to spit forth a mouthful of blood with the xen sword following suit aimed straight at his chest it the critical moment Jang summoned his last breath to evade narrowly avoiding a fatal blow to his heart however his right hand was severed By The juen Sword blood gushing forth like a fountain cascading to the ground as his severed hand plummeted from the air ah Jang ba cried out in agony clutching his dismembered arm his body tumbling downwards this shocking spectacle stunned all present as the Chief Elder of lho mountain an expert of the first tier had just lost his right hand particularly jalang felt a chill run through him upon witnessing the Elder's injury it was over without his right hand the Elder was no longer a match for them jelang was filled with despair sensing that their mission had failed once again the other disciples of lho mountain witnessing the scene were similarly gripped by fear if even the Chief Elder was powerless they stood no chance whatsoever seeing Jang B plummet to the ground Wong tion dared not relax his vigilance he swiftly commanded the juian sword to descend upon Jang BK head mirroring how Jang ba had previously suspended the long hen sword over yunio and Yun jongi listen well Disciples of lungu mountain we of shushan have allied with chilin pavilion anyone who dares to act against chilin Pavilion is challenging us of shushan do not blame us for being unmerciful wongon declared cold.to Ure lungo Mountain would abandon any intention of attacking chilin Pavilion he had to invoke the name of shushan the third ranked sect of the deian dynasty its overall strength surpassing that of lungu mountain only by leveraging shushi reputation could he intimidate lho Mountain into submission otherwise even if he repelled Jang B today he would inevitably face the lho mountain sect leader tomorrow and perhaps an elder the day after Wong tion could not contend with such pressure they needed to understand that chil and Pavilion was backed by shushan only then would they hesitate to act recklessly even the Prime Minister would think twice before moving against shushan thus it was essential for chilin Pavilion to achieve true safety upon hearing these words all present were left in shock especially Yun jongi who was rendered speechless by the revelation of the alliance between chilin Pavilion and shushan a fact he had been entirely unaware of as the Pavilion Master nonetheless he refrained from voicing any dissent knowing that with shushan as an ally lho Mountain would indeed hesitate to make a move against them Elder what should we do now jelang rushed over to support the severely injured janga we must Retreat we will regroup and strategize back at lungo Mountain Jang Bao pale from blood loss and weakened simply wished to escape if they did not withdraw now they could be facing life-threatening danger the shadow of Wong tion and yuno loomed large in his mind yes Elder jelang also felt that retreat was imperative promptly aiding the Elder as they made their way out with the two Elders fleeing the remaining Disciples of lho mountain followed suit I in truth only a handful of them managed to escape most perished beneath the sword reain of Wong tion's merad swords returned to one technique finally they had departed es wangon witnessed The Retreat of long mountains forces he sighed in relief despite his current display of strength he was in reality at the end of his tether unable to unleash his Dragon Aura and merely holding on meanwhile Yun jongi yunio and The Disciples of chilin Pavilion upon seeing lho mountains Retreat also breathed a sigh of relief. at last they gone we are safe for the time being Yun jongi nearly collapsed to the ground having exhausted all his spiritual energy to support his daughter yunio leaving him utterly drained yunio was similarly fatigued having played the black wooden Chen twice in succession rendering her on the verge of collapse yet her thoughts immediately turned to the young man in the silver armor and mask father should we not express our gratitude to that shushan disciple her beautiful eyes sought Wong tion on the rooftop who returned her gaze their eyes met in an inexplicable feeling of Eternity passed between them the earlier resonance between The juen Sword and the tion moin could it be that they stemmed from the same individual Wang tion recalled that pivotal moment and yunio similarly reflected on it harboring Newfound emotions toward the Mast shushan disciple we ought to thank him she concluded Yun jongi summoning his remaining strength approached wangon standing beneath the eaves where he stood cupping his fists in a respectful bow we are profoundly grateful for your assistance sword hero had you not intervened she and Pavilion would likely have faced Annihilation today please do come down so May host a banquet in your honor no need I have matters to attend to perhaps another time I shall accept your invitation Wong tion declined for he had pressing concerns at hand specifically transforming the fictitious alliance between shushan and chilin Pavilion into a reality only by genuinely securing the alliance could he deter lho Mountain from attacking chilin Pavilion if it remained mere Bluster lho Mountain would undoubtedly send someone to investigate and his bluff would be exposed leaving chilin Pavilion vulnerable once more such an outcome was unacceptable a true Alliance was imperative to permanently quash lho mountains Ambitions of annexing chilin Pavilion as for how to convince shushan to Ally with chilin pavilion he had already devised a plan may I ask your name sword hero yuno approached her lovely eyes filled with anticipation eager to learn the name of the young man who had rescued them from Peril Wong tion had initially intended to remain unnamed as he had not even settled on a fictitious name for himself however the hopeful glimmer in Yun eyes softened his resolve I am ton Wong perhaps we shall meet again by Fate he replied reversing his name before departing with that he leaped down from the rooftop Vanishing from their sight Tan Wong what a powerful name Yun xunzi mused still contemplating the name meanwhile yuno's gaze lingered on the rooftop her eyes still fixed on the spot where Wong tion had stood even after he had disappeared from view chapter 35 a call to Arms xushan erupts Jang ba clutched his severed arm and stumbled back to the main hall of the sect upon his return He sought out the sect leader musuan initially Jang ba had wished to keep this matter from the leader for he knew that once musuan was informed the celestial great treasure the tingi chin would be Beyond his reach however given the current circumstances the acquisition of the treasure had become secondary Vengeance was his foremost priority and for that he could only turn to the sect leader sect leader I have urgent news to report Jang ba declared loudly before the leader private chamber with elder jalong anxiously awaiting beside him his heart heavy with unease the mission had failed and with so many disciples lost he was certain that punishment awaited him shortly after his announcement the door to the chamber creaked open revealing an elderly man with white hair and beard as as soon as he stepped out his gaze fell upon Jang baun's severed arm Elder Jang what has happened to you where is your right arm mushan Yuan inquired shock etched across his face he had been in seclusion and was unaware of the events that had transpired at chilin Pavilion reporting to the sect leader my right arm was severed by a disciple of shushan janga replied his face Twisted in Anger a disciple of shushan musuan s expression shifted dramatically upon hearing this but he quickly regained his composure which Elder from shushan did this to you what was the reason behind such an act he believed that only the most formidable Elders of shushan could have inflicted such an injury on Jang ba given his strength yet Jang Ba's response left him even more astonished it was not an elder from shushan but rather a disciple clad in a black cloak and wearing a silver armor mask Jang ba recounted the events that had transpired at chilin Pavilion in detail as for the motive it was as follows with each word mus Shan yuan's expression grew increasingly grave the emergence of a swordsmanship prodigy capable of summoning 10,000 swords back to their origin from shushan was Dire news for lho Mountain what is the name of this swordsmanship Prodigy he asked furrowing his brow according to him he claimed claims to be the closed door disciple of the ancestor of shushan but he did not reveal his name Jang ba replied after a moment of contemplation nonsense such a significant matter as the ancestor of shushan taking on a closed door disciple would surely cause a stir throughout shushan yet we have heard not a whisper furthermore the ancestor has been in seclusion for 30 years how could he possibly take on a disciple musuan discern the inconsistencies with a single glance moreover shushan disciples are known for their integrity and never resort to wearing masks this individual's mased Vis was entirely contrary to their Customs I to questioned his identity but he possesses the ability to summon 10,000 swords back to their origin an exclusive and secret technique of shushan Jang ba continued after a brief pause moreover he asserted that shushan has formed an alliance with chilin pavilion warning that should we dare to act against chilin Pavilion again shushan would respond harshly mus Shuan furrowed his brow tightly his aged hand stroking his white beard and suddenly spoke something is a Miss Elder Gia you must personally visit shushan and uncover the truth of this matter yes sect leader jalong promptly replied he too harbored doubts about the situation the individual s conduct starkly contrasted with the upright demeanor of shushan disciples and it was unusual for shushan to form alliances what could possibly compel them to Ally with a sect based on mere intelligence as night fell a slender Crescent Moon hung in the sky a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the capital wongon sat in meditation upon seeing the moon rise he slowly stood up after leaving chilin Pavilion he had refrained from returning to the Imperial melum fearing he might be followed and his identity exposed instead he chose to meditate in an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the capital patiently awaiting the moon es appearance with the moon now visible it was time to act Wong tion retrieved the moon Fox Pearl from his spatial pouch intending to use dragon energy to activate it for a swift Escape beneath the moonlight this was a secret technique taught to him by the fox Immortal and it was fortuitously applicable at this moment with shushan located 10,000 Mi away it would take at least 7 days to travel by carriage or horse even a master of the first grade Flying Without sustenance would require a full day and night to Traverse such a distance lho Mountain would undoubtedly send individuals to verify the situation at shushan however it was unlikely they would dispatch a first grade expert at most they would send a second grade Elder yet a second grade cultiv could not fly through the air they could only levitate objects for a limited duration including rest stops they would need at least 3 days to reach shushan Wong tion meticulously calculated thus I have only 3 days within this time frame I must transform the falsehood of an alliance between shushan and chilin Pavilion into reality only then can chilin Pavilion be truly secure having determined his timeline wongon tightened his grip on the moon Fox Pearl and initiated the technique of moonlight Escape Under the moon's illumination the Moon Fox Pearl emitted a silvery white glow and in the blink of an eye Wong tion vanished from the dilapidated Temple reappearing in a desolate Wilderness 100 miles away where is this Wong tion surveyed his surroundings disoriented in the unfamiliar Wilderness this was his first time employing the technique of moonlight Escape leaving him somewhat dazed yet with time pressing he could not afford to dwell on his disorientation after orienting himself towards shushan he continued to invoke the moonlet Escape technique D in an instant Wong tion found himself in a city 100 miles away with the second use of the technique he gained a slight sense of direction steadying himself he confirmed his bearings once more and activated the moon Fox pearls Escape technique again 100 Mil was the maximum distance for the moon Fox Pearl's escape to Traverse 10,000 Mi Wong tion would need to perform the technique 100 times which was quite taxing fortunately there was no cooldown period as long as he had sufficient dragon energy he could continuously activate the moon Fox Pearl for moonlight Escape after the demise of the fox Immortal his lingering Soul had escaped the pursuit of the demon moon thanks to the Moon Fox pearls Limitless Escape capabilities throughout the night Wong tion diligently employed the moon Fox Pearl for his escapes initially he struggled with stability and felt dizzy but as he grew accustomed to the technique he began to master the moonlet escape with ease after successfully escaping 100 times wongon finally arrived at the foot of shushan just as Dawn began to break di last I have a arrived he gazed up at the Towering shushan a surge of excitement swelling within him having traversed much of the deian Empire throughout the night he had finally reached his destination shushan stood as a majestic Mountain at the edge of the deian Empire the second highest in the realm blessed with abundant spiritual energy year round making it an ideal location for cultivation the shushan sect was established within the mountain as Dawn broke early Rising Disciples of shushan were already sweeping the entrance at the foot of the mountain upon noticing them wongon approached without hesitation greetings young sir do I wish to meet your SE leader he inquired politely you wish to see our SE leader the young shushan disciple clad in a Dost robe scrutinized Wong tion's attire and scoffed what is your identity our sect leader is not someone you can just meet at will it was no surprise he held such disdain shushan rarely entertained Outsiders and Wang ton masked face further and cited their scorn by the way I am also considered a disciple of shushan as I am a pupil of the swords Saint emo Ching Ching Wong tion had no choice but to invoke the name of the sword Saint his ability to summon 10,000 swords originated from emo Ching Ching's teachings thus rendering him a half disciple you are a disciple of Sword s amoin Ching ha if you truly his disciple then I am the ancestor father the young shushan disciple burst into rockus laughter entirely dismissing Wong tion's assertion after all IMO Ching Chung had been dead for over a thousand years anyone would find such a claim ludicrous Wong tion feeling exasperated realized he could no longer engage in feudal conversation with this shushan disciple he had to resort to the most straightforward method to gain an audience with the sect leader come forth sword Wong tion send the surroundings within a 5 kilomet radius and shouted towards the heavens this single proclamation of Sword come sent shock waves through shushan chapter 36 the Visionary sect leader of shushan with a total of 100,000 disciples in shushan excluding those away on missions about ,000 remained on the mountain most of these disciples wielded swords and Wong tion's sword heart resonated across a 5 km range encompassing a significant portion of the shushan sect his call for swords caused a commotion throughout shushan countless Flying Swords descended from the mountain like a swarm of locusts densely converging towards wongon the young disciple standing before wongon was left utterly dumbfounded what what is happening why are so many Flying Swords suddenly rushing this way the young shushan disciple had never w witnessed such a grand display of Flying Swords and he was rendered pale with fear his legs trembling Point 10,000 swords returned to origin Wong tion paid no heed to the young disciple ESP panic and continued to channel the unique sword technique of shushan 10,000 swords returned to origin only by executing this extraordinary swordsmanship could he capture the attention of the sect leader otherwise no amount of words would suffice as his voice faded countless Flying Swords gathered above him swirling around in a vortex emanating an overwhelming sword aura that seemed poised to tear the very fabric of space apart the young shushan disciple witnessing such a formidable sword formation was beyond merely frightened he was engulfed in profound Terror the Supreme sword energy contained within the formation made him feel as though death loomed near simultaneously many others at top shushan were equally taken aback disciples stewards elders and others were jolted from their meditative States rushing outside to retrieve their sword only to behold the grand sword formation at the foot of the mountain what is happening why is my sword flying to the foot of the mountain on its own mine too look over there there is a colossal sword formation at the foot of the mountain Heavens the Grandeur of this sword formation is staggering it has absorbed thousands of Swords what sort of formation is this Ivy never seen anything like it before what a magnificent sword formation far surpassing the might of the sword techniques we have cultivated in an instant the entirety of Mount Shu was a buzz with chatter the elders upon hearing the commotion emerged from their Chambers and upon witnessing the Grandeur of the sword formation at the foot of the mountain their expressions shifted dramatically what kind of Sword formation is this exuding such overwhelming power the plump Elder fixed his gaze upon the formation utterly transfixed as if his very Soul had been profoundly stirred he had devoted his life to the Mastery of the sword yet in the presence of this formation the techniques he practiced paled in comparison why does this sword formation seem so familiar it feels as though I have seen it somewhere before the Elder in a green robe known as crane Elder also stepped forward his eyes reflecting a similar awe as he beheld the formation this sword formation resembles the long lost 10,000 swords returned to one of our Mount Shu then a middle-aged female Elder dawned in a blue robe appeared her expression revealing a hint of realization though her eyes were equally filled with astonishment such a formidable sword formation this is the first time I have witnessed anything like it what did you say this is 10,000 swords return to one the elders gasped in unison for they were well aware that this technique had been lost for over a millennium with no disciple of Mount Shu ever comprehending it how could it be that anyone could so effortlessly wield 10,000 swords return to one just as the elders were engulfed in confusion a voice resonated from behind them Elder Juan was not mistaken this is indeed the long lost sword technique of Mount Shu 10,000 swords returned to one the sect leader wayin slowly emerged from the grand hall clad in a blue robe his long beard cascading to his chest and his hair elegantly coiled at top his head with a small sword nestled within he exuded an ethereal presence moving with a Grace that left no sound in his wake sect leader is this truly the long lost 10,000 swords return to one could it be that you were mistaken the plump Elder expressed his disbelief for the technique had been lost for over a millennium and the individual at the foot of the mountain was not one of their own making it difficult for him to accept the other Elders were equally stirred their gazes directed at sect leader wayen awaiting his final confirmation there is no mistake this is one of the three great sword techniques of Mount Shu 10,000 swords return to one to come let us descend to welcome this sword genius with that wayen leaped gracefully his form resembling a delicate swallow as he descended from the mountains side died the other Elders followed suit all possessing the ability to Traverse the skies as the sect leader and the elders descended the Disciples of Mount Shu rushed down the mountain eager to Glimpse the individual capable of such a breathtaking sword formation upon seeing figures descending Wong tion's lips curled into a slight Smile At Last he would meet the SE leader of Mount Shu moments later SE leader wayen accompanied by four Elders landed before wongon I am ween the sect leader of Mount sh may I inquire the name of this swordsman and your lineage as well as how you came to wield our sect unique sword technique 10,000 swords returned to one wayen commenced with a trifecta of inquiries despite his com exterior his heart surged with curiosity regarding Wong tion's identity. Imon Wong a disciple of the sword Simo chining as for 10,000 swords returned to one she imparted it to me wongon replied half truthfully since I am to navigate the Marshal World under a false identity I shall adop stopt the imposing name of Tan Wong a disciple of Sword Simo ching ching the elders were momentarily taken aback for IMO ching ching had perished over a millennium ago how could she possibly have a disciple just as the elders were about to caution the sect leader to proceed with caution Wayan nodded affirmatively that I believe you emo chining is one of the greatest Geniuses Mount Shu has seen in Millennia and only she could Master 10,000 swords returned to W this statement astonished not only the elders but also Wong tion the sect leader possesses a Grand Vision he believed a fabricated tale with such ease sect leader we will you not inquire how I became a disciple of emo Chung Wong tion cautiously probed no need to ask as long as you acknowledge yourself as a disciple of Mount Shu that is sufficient a slight smile graced Wayan's lips Heroes do not question their Origins especially when the individual in question is a sore genius the priority is to secure this Talent within our ranks wongon felt a surge of admiration it was clear why wayen was the sect leader his vision was expansive as long as one is talented their Origins are irrelevant with a leader like him it would be hard for Mount Shu not to thrive indeed sect leader way possesses great vision Wong tion regarded wayen favorably and promptly retracted 10,000 swords return to one causing countless Flying Swords to return to the hands of the Disciples of Mount Shu such effortless control over Flying Swords once again left way sien and the elders in awe may I ask brother tion Wong have you comprehended the sword heart the plump Elder could not contain his curiosity the ability to manipulate swords at will can only be achieved by one who has grasped the sword heart a goal pursued by every practitioner of the sword indeed I have comprehended the sword heart Wong tion affirmed with a nod the higher my own value the more Mount Shu will regard me allowing my subsequent words to carry weight the elders collectively gasped to have comprehended the sword heart and to wield 10,000 swords return to one this could be the second sword saint perhaps even a sword Immortal henceforth you shall be our 18th Elder of Mount Shu and the red turn peak of emo ching ching shall be your training ground wayen declared without hesitation such a powerful sword genius must be secured without delay the elders were astonished to be elevated to the status of an elder so quickly was unprecedented even Wong tion was taken aback he had only just arrived and was already made an elder of Mount Shu such trust was remarkable thank you sect leader we but I have come today with a matter I wish to discuss with you Wong tion said after a moment of contemplation no problem your matters are our matters at Mount Shu follow me to the Grand Hall for discussion Wayan nodded and turned to ascend the mountain Wong tion wasted no time in following closely behind upon reaching the grand hall Wayan LED wongon inside accompanied by several Elders very well now you may speak what assistance do you require from out shoe wayen had long suspected that Wong tion's Grand display held a purpose but to entice this sword genius he had refrained from questioning it I wish for Mount shu to form an alliance with the chilin Pavilion what is your opinion on this sect leaderway wongon cut to the chase revealing his intentions directly this statement momentarily stunned the elders even wayen found it unexpected to Frank Elder tion Mount Shu has a long-standing rule against forming alliances with Outsiders the plump Elder replied somewhat hesitantly even wayen appeared conflicted an alliance with the chilin Pavilion was a significant matter and for thousands of years Mount Shu had never formed alliances with others I forming an alliance truly so difficult if you agree to Ally with the chil Pavilion I would be willing to become your 18th Elder Wong tion countered with his own conditions while they were eager to recruit him as an elder wongon seemed to treat it as a bargaining chip a rather vexing stance Wayan remained hesitant this would break Mount shu's long-standing tradition once an alliance was established would there be further requests Mount Shu had always prided itself on its a omy reluctant to be Tethered to others just as wayen was caught in indecision a cold yet melodious voice imbued with a sense of solemnity echoed from outside I can represent Mount Shu in forming an alliance with the chilin Pavilion but you must agree to one condition chapter 37 the enchanting ancestor Wong tion instinctively turned toward the source of the voice and beheld a stunning Beauty clad in a purple gown gracefully entering she appeared to be around 30 exuding elegance and Grace akin to to a blossoming flower her steps were light blending Elegance with a hint of solemnity her maturity tinged with an ethereal Aura reminiscent of a Celestial fairy greetings ancestor upon seeing her wayen and the others hurriedly approached to pay their respects their demeanor profoundly respectful Wong tion was taken aback this ancestor was far too youthful and beautiful in his mind an ancestor was typically an elderly figure with white hair yet the ancestor of Mount Shu before him resembled a fairy in her prime however Wong tion quickly considered the possibility that this ancestor had likely transcended human limitations reaching the realm of the immortal thus preserving her youthful Beauty I am XU currently the highest ranking disciple of Mount Shu often referred to as the ancestor by them xisha spoke with poised Grace pausing momentarily before continuing with gravity I can represent Mount Shu in forming an alliance with the chilin Pavilion but you must agree to one condition what condition Wong tion inquired promptly Gathering his thoughts to as long as it facilitates the alliance between Mount Shu and the chilin Pavilion I would agree to 10 conditions if necessary help me procure nine materials xishu said after a moment of contemplation point nine materials no problem just tell me what they are wongon readily agreed considering the abundance of burial artifacts within the Royal tomb perhaps they contained what this enchanting ancestor required even if they did not he could stealthily Infiltrate The Royal treasury the Royal treasury was the largest repository in the tion continent filled with Treasures of every kind you did not even inquire about the materials before agreeing are you so confident in your ability to find them a hint of skepticism crossed jesua Exquisite Visage I have made my promise and I will assist you however I will need time to gather the materials while the alliance cannot wait Wong tion replied anxiously pausing before continuing before I seek materials you must first agree to Ally with chilin pavilion as for the nine materials I will assist you in gathering them later long hushin will undoubtedly send someone to shushan for verification so he cannot afford to wait long I can assure you that I will facilitate an alliance between shushan and Chillin Pavilion but the duration of this Alliance will depend on the number of levels you can conquer in the sword Pavilion the venerable XI wishes to see just how much potential this MK youth possesses as he is surprisingly confident in his ability to procure the nine materials upon hearing the first half of the statement wongon felt a surge of Joy however the latter half caused his heart to race with trepidation what does it mean to conquer the sword Pavilion wongon pondered having grown up in the Imperial City his understanding of shushan was superficial at best and he had certainly never heard of something like the sword Pavilion the sword Pavilion is the place where we and shushan store our swords when disciples pass away their swords are gathered here the sect Master Wayan stepped forward and seeing that the venerable did not stop him he continued speaking Conquering the sword Pavilion is a trial assessment for our disciples every sword Within then retains the energy of its former owner manifesting as shadowy sword figures that will engage you in battle the sword Pavilion comprises 18 levels the higher you ascend the greater the caliber of the swords and the strength of the shadowy figures you will encounter I see Wong tion's heart was enlightened it was indeed a place of Sword storage with the xien sword the King of Swords and his understanding of the sword's essence traversing the sword Pavilion should be a mere formality and no problem let us hasten to the sword Pavilion I can hardly contain my excitement Wang tion had little time to squander sect Master wayen glanced at the venerable xishu who gave a slight nod and then he said very well let us proceed to the sword Pavilion with that Wayan personally led the way towards the sword Pavilion and Wong tion followed suit with the elders trailing behind all eager to see how far this masted youth capable of summoning a myriad of Swords could Venture within the sword Pavilion on the way to the sword Pavilion Wong tion could not suppress his curiosity and asked sect Master wayen what is the highest record achieved by your shushan disciples in conquering the sword Pavilion the highest record was set by our 28th generation sect Master Lee chunjun he ascended to the 17th level and he is the only shushan disciple to have reached that height as sect Master wayen spoke of Le chunjun his eyes were filled with reverence Eli chunjun the one who almost became the sword God Wong tion exclaimed he had read about Le chunjun in historical texts a Celestial level swordmaster who nearly transcended to become a sword geodi in the days of tonan continent he was an invincible presence with only three individuals capable of rivaling him regrettably he was ens snared by love and ultimately perished while meditating though he has passed the title of Sword Godly chunjun endures indeed sword Godly chunjun transcended even the founding Patriarchs he is The Pinacle of combat prowess in shushan sect Master wayen stated with admiration even the sword God only reached the 17th level Wong tion furrowed his brow sensing that the sword Pavilion was more formidable than he had anticipated generally a disciple reaching the seventh level is commendable those who can Ascend to the 10th level are considered sword prodigies while 12th level is a rarity among thousands the 15th level indicates the potential of a sword Saint the 16th level of a sword Immortal and the 17th level of a sword god. for the 18th level no one knows what swords are kept there sect Master wayen elaborated then how far did sword Samo Ascend and what about his disciple Wong xang Wong tion inquired after some thought his understanding of the sword's essence came from The Sword Emperor Wang xang and the technique of summoning Myriad swords was learned from sword s this meant he had Amalgamated the strengths of two sword Geniuses Wong tion was curious to see how far these two could go as it would give him a benchmark both reached the 16th level possessing the potential of a sword Immortal unfortunately one descended the mountain to inherit the throne while the other was in snake nared by love SE Master wayen side these two could have elevated shushan to Greater Heights yet they were delayed by worldly entanglements s so they both reached the 16th level Wong tion felt a sense of expectation with two at the 16th level he should at least be able to reach that height and as for higher levels it would depend on his own fortune as they conversed they arrived at the sword Pavilion it was an impressively Grand edifice topped by a colossal sword that descended from the heavens radiating overwhelming sword Aura here we are this is the sword Pavilion you may enter through this door sect Master way Cen indicated towards the grand entrance the duration of the alliance with chilin pavilion now hinges on this endeavor Wong tion took a deep breath and stepped toward the sword Pavilion chapter 38 xuan's greatest Prodigy as Wong tion entered the sword Pavilion an infinite expectation flickered in the eyes of sect master wayen and several Elders even the venerable lady held profound anticipation for Wang Elder how far do you think this new Elder tion Wong can go within the sword Pavilion sect Master wayen respectfully inquired of the venerable xiu who possessed the strongest prowess among them having reached the sword Immortal Realm thus her judgment was likely more astute than theirs upon hearing this the elders instinctively turned their gazes towards her equally eager to discover how far this new Elder could Ascend what do you think the venerable xisha did not answer but instead gazed at wayen after careful contemplation he responded I believe he can at least reach the 15th level 15th level the elders gasped an astonishment should he indeed reach that level it would indicate that this new Elder possesses the potential of a sword Saint Elder tion Wong has already comprehended the sword's essence and also mastered sword St Mo's technique of summoning Myriad swords reaching the 15th level is a conservative estimate he might even reach the 16th level sect Master way Cen analyzed meticulously it truly is plausible mastering the swords Essence and summoning Myriad swords would Grant him the potential of a sword Immortal the portly Elder nodded in agreement the other Elders also concurred while the venerable xiu remained silent her beautiful profound eyes fixated on the 17th level reflecting her expectations for Wong tition only upon reaching this realm could he gather the nine materials she required upon entering the sword Pavilion Wong tion discovered it was exceedingly spacious surpassing the size of a football field with swords suspended all around each exting a chilling sword Ora so many swords there must be at least tens of thousands as W tion marveled the surrounding swords began to emit a resonant hum and shadowy figures materialized above each sword these must be the shadowy sword figures is the battle about to commence so soon without a moment's hesitation Wong tion retrieved the xen sword from his system space and Infused it with dragon energy causing the sword to emit a resonant dragon's Roar under the sound of the sword ass Roar the surrounding swords were coiled in fear parting to create a clear path ha the xen sword is indeed effective but it only intimidates these lower tier swords once the swords become more formidable they will not be so easily frightened seizing the opportunity Wong tion wasted no time and stepped toward the second level as he entered the second level a bell rang out from outside the sword Pavilion each level of the sword Pavilion is adorned with a bell when someone steps into that level the Bell will chime moreover as one ascends to higher levels the bells grow larger and the sounds become louder already at the second level it hasn't even taken half a stick of incense the portly Elder exclaimed in Surprise indeed the time was Swift from his entry to the ringing of the bell at the second level only 10 breaths had passed breaking the record set by shushan disciples in the first level sect Master wayen said excitedly the other Elders were equally astonished this speed far exceeded their expectations I now eagerly anticipate his record for clearing the second level the fastest recorded time here is half a stick of incense before sect Master wayen could finish his sentence the bell for the third level rang indicating that Wang tion had successfully passed the second level and ascended to the third level of the sword Pavilion no way he actually cleared the second level in less than 10 breaths faster than the first level the portly Elders jaw dropped in shock this speed was entirely beyond their comprehension the swords at the second level are significantly more advanced than those at the first level why did he clear the second level faster than the first a female Elder queried in confusion Doo you think it possible that during the first level he spent most of his time familiarizing himself with the sword Pavilion an elderly man with white hair suddenly suggested his words stunned all the elders and the sect Master even the venerable xisha felt a surge of exhilaration upon witnessing Wong tion's astonishing speed while they engaged in fervent discussion wongon rapidly traversed the third fourth and fifth levels each level completed at a speed that shattered the record set by previous shushan disciple Heavens the sixth level already in less than half a stick of incense he has reached the sixth level of the sword Pavilion this speed is astonishing I recall it took me half a stick of incense just to clear the third level the portly Elder was utterly dumbfounded Wong tion's record-breaking speed surpassed all his understanding not only him but the other elders and sect Master wayen were equally ustruck by wongon unprecedented speed even more so than when they witnessed him summon Myriad swords that morning this lad is intriguing it seems his confidence is not unfounded but rather stems from genuine ability the venerable xiw smiled slightly her anticipation for him growing Wong tion swiftly arrived at the 10th level a critical juncture distinguishing sword prodigies from the mediocre surpassing this level marks one as a sword genius while faltering here relegates one to the ranks of the average is this the 10th level the emblem of Sword genius Wong tion gazed around where over a thousand swords had material ized into shadowy figures Wong tion sought to employ his old tactics once more wielding the sword of extermination to intimidate his adversaries however this time the swords menacing presence proved ineffective it merely caused them to retreat a single step failing to truly frighten them away finally it began to feel somewhat interesting Wong tion sensed the impending Trials of the ninth layer ahead brandishing his sword he charged forward with a lack of vigor now witnessing that these swords had not been deterred he felt A Renewed sense of purpose to stretch his limbs yet as he opened his sword heart these swords fell under his control stand aside with a swift motion of his hand the swords yielded at once though he remained unfazed Wong tion finally comprehended why a certain swordsmanship Talent was required to progress through the 10th layer without a moment s hesitation he pressed onward to the next layer Wong tion bore no sentiment for lingering once again setting his foot towards the lower level outside the sword Pavilion the Elder gasped in unison upon witnessing wongon rapid Passage through the 10th layer to Traverse the 10th layer with such ease was a feat that even the legendary sword Godly had not achieved with such swiftness the plump Elder was so astonished he found himself at a loss for words indeed at this pace he might even reach the 17th layer Lord we who had initially believed he had overestimated wongon realized he had underestimated this new Elder nonetheless he felt a surge of excitement within the faster he progressed rest the more it signified that this new Elder possessed exceptional Talent promising a greater potential for advancement as wongon effortlessly advanced through the 11th 12th 13th and 14th layers relying on the sword of extermination and his sword heart he finally stepped into the 15th layer a that moment the corresponding bronze Bell suddenly began to swing vigorously resonating with a loud and clear chime the resounding Bell echoed throughout Mount Shu causing an uproar among the disciples could it be this sounded like the bell of the 15th layer of the sword Pavilion indeed when the sect Master had reached the 15th layer it was accompanied by this very Bell had another genius with the potential of a sword Saint emerged from Mount Shu my Heavens the 15th layer who could this be in an instant discussions erupted throughout Mount Shu marveling at the emergence of a sword Saints potential a talent rarely encountered in a century outside the sword Pavilion Lord way and several Elders stood dumbfounded it had taken long ton merely half a day to reach the 15th layer sect Master how long did it take you to ascend to the 15th layer the plump Elder could not help but inquire I took a full 5 days Lord we replied astonished yet this elder tion accomplished it in only half a day he was left speechless having thought of himself as a prodigy but now felt rather ordinary in comparison to this new Elder a this layer W tion encountered a challenge point 14 swords each a holy sword retained the residual energy of their origin Masters neither the sword of extermination nor his sword heart had any effect on them observing the ucer forms of the 14 holy swords Wong tion grew serious however one particular red holy sword left him momentarily stunned almost simultaneously the Azure Shen sword in his system space quivered intensely chapter 39 lovers become sword companions this red holy sword grew increasingly familiar to Wong tion reminiscent of the sword runes he had seen on the coffin of the sword Emperor Wong xang why does this sword resemble the red kite sword just as won pondered this the Azure Shin sword in his system space began to tremble violently why is the Azure Shen sword suddenly shaking so fiercely after a moment of contemplation wangon made a connection Could This truly be the red kite sword the trembling of the Azure Shen sword confirmed his suspicion prompting him to retrieve it from the system space as the Azure Shen sword manifested in the 15th layer of the sword Pavilion the red holy sword also began to tremble violently as if resonating with one another indeed it was the red kite sword after more than a millennium the two swords had unexpectedly reunited under such circumstances Wong tion could not help but feel that fate had played its hand had he not appeared in the sword Pavilion these two swords might never have crossed paths again it was fortunate that he had taken the Azure Shin sword away at that time otherwise even if he reached the sword Pavilion they would have remained apart go Wong tion sensing that the azzure shin sword had been repressed for too long gently nudged it toward the red kite sword after emitting a joyful sword cry the Azure Shin sword radiated a blue sword light moving towards the red kite sword which responded with a red glow akin to long-lost lovers reuniting soon the two holy swords intertwined in the air caressing one another like butterflies dancing gracefully their lights intermingled forming a beautiful rainbow symbolizing their emotional exchange the Azure light of the Azure Shen sword resembled a blue dragon agile weaving through the air while the red light of the red kite sword soared like a Vermilion bird each responding to the other as if they were a match made in heaven as they danced the surrounding air seemed to ignite with their fervor growing increasingly heated a spark of Love Wong tion did not intervene instead watching them quietly these two swords were akin to lyang shamba and XU inai unable to be together in life but now entwined in death as swords you have finally attained your desires lovers become sword companions Wong tion felt a sense of happiness for them just then a sharp sword Ora suddenly shot in from the left side Wong tion possessing a sword heart immediately sensed this incoming threat he sidestepped just in time nearly forgetting the gravity of his trials a te present aside from the red kite sword there were still 13 holy swords one misstep could lead to his undoing determined not to be distracted any longer Wong tion gripped the sword of extermination tightly and launched launched an attack against the nearest sword it was a verdant sword another holy sword its remaining energy manifesting as an elusory sword figure when faced with Wong tion's assault the figure effortlessly evaded with a few light leaps almost simultaneously several other ucer sword figures emerged from the remaining holy swords launching an assault on Wong tion although these figures had their powers compressed to match Wong tion's level due to the sword pavilion's array their nature as holy swords made them formidable opponents especially in numbers this compression of the sword figures power was a deliberate method to accurately filter out talented disciples even if the sect Master entered with his current strength the power of each sword in the Pavilion would be elevated to a corresponding level ensuring that even wayen with his exceptional Talent would still falter at the 15th layer thus it was a scientifically sound selection process Mount Shu had maintained its Supremacy for eight Millennia through such rigorous methods too have so many swords targeting me alone is truly unfair I have swords of my own Wong tion Drew forth all nine treasured swords from his system space each collected from the Tomb of the sword Emperor Wong Jang though they lacked the might of holy swords they could withstand an onslaught for a time after launching the nine swords into battle wongon utilized his sword heart to manipulate them in a fierce struggle against the nine ucer sword figures with four ucer figures remaining Wong tion attempted to summon the Azure Shin sword easily able to do so and directed it to engage with another fiery red holy sword the Azure Shin sword also a holy sword matched its counterpart and strength however to Wong tion's astonishment the red kite sword serving as the guardian of the sword Pavilion unexpectedly turned against its own aiding the Azure Shin sword the red kite sword s Ora proved formidable overwhelming the fiery sword in no time even subduing another holy sword leaving wongon utterly astonished impressive the red kite sword is quite powerful Wong tion had not anticipated that at such a critical moment his ancestor would lend him a hand through the Allure of its beauty with the Azure Shin Sword and the red kite sword simultaneously entangled with two of the Holy swords only two remained in the entire 15th layer now with merely two swords left Wang tion infused the dragon Chi into the sword of extermination and surged forward the sword emitting a resounding cry akin to a dragon's Roar with the sword of extermination in hand he felt confident in dealing with the two remaining swords outside the sword Pavilion the revered Elder jishua sect master wayen and the Assembly of Elders awaited with baited breath for Wong tion's progress through the trials the 15th layer of the sword Pavilion represented the potential of a sword Saint those who could surpass this challenge were at least of Sword Immortal caliber a rarity among thousands sect Master wayen had himself reached a standstill at the 15th layer hasn't Elder tion made any progress after an hour the plump Elder inquired impatiently. it has only been been an hour this is the 15th layer of the sword Pavilion even the sect Master could not pass it how could he be so quick Elder Fong shot him a look yet shared his anticipation it's all because Elder tion's prior speed misled my expectations the plump Elder chuckled sheepishly the 15th layer remained a formidable challenge housing 14 holy swords while the powers of these swords were compressed to match Elder tion's level due to the sword Pavilions array their nature as holy swords made them formidable adversaries sect Master way Cen stepped forward recalling the moment when 14 holy swords had surrounded him sending shivers down his spine how many holy swords did you defeat back then the plump Elder asked curiously I managed to defeat half but I could not overcome the rest especially the red kite sword wielded by sword simit Aura is the sharpest among the 14 holy swords and even when compressed to my level I still could not withstand three strikes from it sect Master wayen remarked with a hint of nostalgia reflecting on it now wayen still felt a chill at the thought of the red kite sword as if it were imbued with a murderous intent alas what a pity for sword Simo she had once reached the 16th layer a testament to her potential as a sword Immortal yet ultimately fell short at the sword Saint level the plump Elder and the others could not help but sigh in sympathy beyond the elders the Disciples of Mount Shu were equally eager to witness Wong tion's journey through the trials it has been quite some time since anyone has managed to breach the 15th level of the sword Pavilion I wonder if this brother will succeed I doubt it even the sect master has not managed to surpass it so how could he it does seem unlikely Tio reached the 15th level of the sword Pavilion is to possess the potential of a sword Saint a talent that emerges only once in a century I concur let us disperse for it is improbable that the chime of the 16th level will ring out again however scarcely had this young man from Mount Shu uttered these words when the resounding sound of the bronze Bell from the 16th level of the sword Pavilion echoed throughout the entirety of Mount Shu that sorous tone reverberated in every corner even reaching the disciples who were cultivating in remote areas a te that moment the entire Mount Shu erupted in astonishment s the chime of the 16th level reached every corner of Mount Shu all disciples collectively inhaled sharply goodness someone has actually reached the 16th level of the sword Pavilion that signifies the potential of a sword Immortal currently only the revered ancestor jishua has ever achieved such a remarkable moreover the transition from the 15th to the 16th level took a mere hour what extraordinary talent in swordsmanship must this individual possess indeed it is astonishing to Traverse the 15th level in such a short span of time must surpass even that of ancestors jesua I wonder who has ascended to the 16th level of the sword Pavilion it seems we are about to witness the emergence of another Genius of Sword Immortal caliber from Mount Shu could it be the individual who demonstrated the sword formation this morning in an instant all Disciples of Mount Shu were a buzz with excitement eager to uncover the identity of this Challenger not only were the disciples thrilled but the elders and the sect Master shared in their exhilaration too conquered the 15th level in just 1 hour is a remarkable speed setting yet another record for Elder ton Wong and particularly for the 15th level the plump Elder's face trembled with excitement indeed I initially thought it would take at least half a day yet Elder tion Wong accomplished it in merely 1 hour truly a delight surprise the middle-aged female Elder was equally exhilarated for she was witnessing the rise of yet another sword Immortal how could she not be thrilled Elder tion Wong has certainly lived up to my expectations the 16th level of the sword Pavilion the potential of a sword Immortal the sect master wayen was filled with excitement his eyes brimming with anticipation and envy he had reached only the 15th level and he regarded Wong tion who had surpassed it with admiration perhaps only revered ancestor xishu remained unfazed for her expectations for Wang tion extended far beyond the 15th level too think he surpassed even my Pace in her calm gaze there was a hint of surprise yet her formidable composure quickly subdued this emotion upon stepping into the 16th level wongon immediately sensed three formidable sword intents compelling him to channel his dragon energy for defense such potent sword intent Wong tion focused his gaze and observed three Celestial swords shimmering in mid dare this sword intent is merely slightly weaker than the juian sword it appears to be three Celestial Swords wongon not daring to underestimate the situation gripped the juian sword tightly ready to strike it any moment as Wong tion's presence was felt the three Celestial swords conjured ethereal sword figures their outlines humanlike yet indistinct however the sword energies emanating from these specters were exponentially more potent than those from the 15th level after materializing the sword figures the three Celestial swords did not launch a simultaneous assault rather the silver gray Celestial sword at the center flew forth the star sword Wong tion observed with Keen interest as he noted the inscription of star on the silver gry blade I it just one Celestial sword approaching me after waiting a moment the other two Celestial swords did not Advance indicating that this sword possessed its own unique Spirit Celestial swords truly differ they engage in duels disdainful of group attacks seeing the solitary Celestial sword approach for a one-on-one confrontation instilled confidence in wongon come forth allow me to experience the might of the celestial sword Wong tion tightened his grip on the juian sword intently watching the advancing star sword Ando sooner had he thought this than the Ethereal sword figure of the star sword launched a swift assault unleashing a silver gray sword energy that shot toward him Wong tion defly Sid stepped preparing to Counterattack only to be alarmed as the star swords energy unexpectedly curved around and shot back at him the sword energy can curve Wong tion was truly gaining new insights yet he evaded once more after narrowly dodging the Star sword's Energy it curved again and continued its Pursuit this time releasing eight consecutive sword energies alongside the initial probing strike forming a moving sword net aimed directly at Wong tion effectively sealing off his Escape Routes so they intend to ens snare me with a sword net Wong tion realized he could not evade the curved sword energy and would have to withstand it head-on juen sword formation infusing his dragon energy into the juen sword he Unleashed a powerful strike instantly countless sword energies erupted from The juian Sword resembling a torrential rain of needle-like projectiles shattering the oncoming sword net in an instant yet the momentum did not wne it surged directly toward the star sword sensing the overwhelming pressure of the juusen sword's energy the star sword suddenly radiated a multitude of Starlight in the next Moment The Sword figure Unleashed a flurry of strikes each blow akin to a star each Star transformed into sword energy twinkling like the stars in the night sky weaving a stunning and Grand Celestial tapestry as if the entire universe were enveloped by this sword energy the juusen sword energy collided with the celestial tapestry of the star sword with terrifying force it the instant of their encounter an explosion of energy erupted scattering countless sword energies Wong tion hastily summoned his dragon energy to Shield against the dispersing sword energy energies while employing his sword heart to sense the movements of the star sword as the sword energies dispersed the star sword darted through the chaos resembling a shooting star hurtling toward wangon with formidable power let us see whose sword is superior yours or my juian sword Wong tion disregarded everything as he immersed his sword heart into the juusen sword achieving a state of Oneness with it and retaliated with a direct strike I in this state of unity the juian sword's power was significantly Amplified upon contact the star sword immediately sensed an overwhelming Force yet it did not yield instead it emanated Starlight once more unfortunately this time the juian sword in its state of unity decisively shattered the star sword denying it any chance for retaliation the immense energy propelled the star sword several meters away finally crashing heavily to the ground its Starlight dimmed considerably success wongon rejoiced inwardly in the state of Oneness the juen swords might was indeed formidable however the battle was not yet over after the star swords defeat the remaining two Celestial swords surged forward namely The taian Sword and the Haan sword each possessing power only slightly inferior to that of the juian sword it seems Wong tion strength has exceeded the expectations of these Celestial swords a this moment they could no longer afford to uphold their Celestial demeanor to thwart wongon all three Celestial swords attacked simultaneously the star sword though diminished in brilliance joined the fry unwilling to retreat very well it appears the three Celestial swords are joining forces I shall not hold back either from the system space wongon summoned the Ching xien sword the huan sword and the other nine treasured swords indeed the huan sword had also been tamed by wongon thanks to the efforts of the Ching xien sword Doon an instant wongon wielded 12 swords their Radiance rivaling that of the three Celestial swords with a swift whoosh the three Celestial swords approached Wong tion from various angles yet he displayed no fear utilizing his sword heart to command the nine treasured swords to counter the weakest star sword he took up the juian sword to face the Haan sword while the Ching xien Sword and the hongyuan sword engaged the taian sword the Haan sword was the mightiest of the three Celestial swords its Brilliance overwhelming when The juen Sword and the Haan sword first clashed a deafening metallic Clash echoed the immense Force pushing Wong tion back two steps before he steadied himself whose sword is this howan sword its strength is incredible akin to battling a mountain I cannot budge it Wong tion United with his sword charged forward once more simultaneously the nine treasured swords became entangled with the star sword although the star sword was a Celestial sword its energy had been significantly depleted after Wong tion's earlier strike greatly diminishing its power the nine treasured swords though not holy swords were exceptional in their own right capable of forming a sword formation to tend with the star sword resulting in a fierce stalemate for the Ching Xin Sword and the huan sword both holy swords their Synergy and resonance allowed them to match the Taiwan sword blow for blow meanwhile Wong tion was equally matched against the Haan sword within the confines of the 16th level of the sword Pavilion the Clashing of metal resonated continuously after an extended exchange neither side managed to secure a victory Wong tion exhausted from Relentless attacks was panting heavily while the three Celestial swords showed no signs of fatigue if this continues I will be worn out and the three Celestial swords will remain unyielding it seems I must unleash my strongest move let fate be decided in this decisive moment Wong tion's gaze hardened with determination outside the sword Pavilion sect Master way Cen and the elders awaited anxiously the sky darkening around them it has been quite a while why has Elder tition Wong not made any sound what could be happening the plump Elder expressed his concern the 16th level is no easy challenge it is said to house three Celestial swords Hain tyin and star each wielding formidable power indeed these three Celestial swords any one of which would be formidable in its own right pose an insurmountable challenge when United the rotund Elders concern grew palpable the Heavenly King Elder might not be able to Prevail confronting all three swords simultaneously would require the prowess of a sword deity otherwise success would be utterly unattainable the middle-aged female Elder side deeply her aspirations for Wong tion to conquer the 16th level were tempered by the harsh reality that no one could withstand the combined might of these three Celestial swords in the annals of shush Shan's 8,000 years of History only the legendary sword deity Leen sha had achieved such a feat reaching the 16th level of the sword Pavilion was already a remarkable accomplishment the plump Elder also sighed suddenly losing hope that Wong tion could surpass the 16th level even the sect leader felt that wongon would be halted at the 16th level only the beautiful ancestor xishu remained silent and composed it was not just the elders who held a pessimistic view the Disciples of shushan shared the same sentiment as Knight fell concerns arose about the disciple attempting to breach the sword Pavilion there was no point in dwelling on it reaching the 16th level was already an extraordinary achievement and surpassing it was certainly impossible indeed in the entirety of Shan's eight Millennia only the sword deity lean Jun had ascended to the 17th level how could anyone El hope to achieve that I concur let us disperse he cannot possibly breach the 16th level of the sword Pavilion almost the entirety of shushan believed that Wong tion would be stopped at the 16th level but just then the bronze Bell of the 17th level of the sword Pavilion suddenly told its resonant sound echoing throughout shushan after a moment of stunned silence the entire shushan erupted in a frenzy my Heavens could it be that someone truly has surpassed the 16th level of the sword Pavilion how utterly incon conable it was only the sword deity Le Chun Jun who had reached the 17th level and now a second individual has emerged we are witnessing history how remarkable who could this Prodigy be in an instant the Disciples of shushan were invigorated this was a scene that bore witness to history how could they not be thrilled besides these disciples sect leader wayen and the elders were also taken aback taking a considerable time to comprehend the situation the Heavenly King Elder actually reached the 17th level of the sword Pavilion this is truly astounding the rotund Elder trembled with excitement his excess flesh quivering with his fervor I never anticipated that the Heavenly King Elder swordsmanship Talent would be so exceptional far beyond my expectations the middle-aged female Elders expression was equally animated it had been several Millennia since shushan had produced a sword deity level genius how Splendid with the potential of a sword deity shushan is poised to produce another figure like leenan and our will surely resonate throughout the entire tion Shen continent the sect leader wayen was the most exhilarated under his leadership shushan had birthed another individual of Sword deity caliber which would Elevate xuan's Renown to unprecedented Heights possibly even establishing it as the foremost sect in the tion Shen continent throughout shushan only ancestor xishu maintained her composure for she had predicted that Wang tion would reach the 17th level of the sword Pavilion indeed he has not disappointed my expectations however the 7 1th level shall be your limmit ancestor xishu was impressed by Wong tion's performance but simultaneously assessed the threshold of his journey within the sword Pavilion at last Wong tion had arrived at the 17th level exhaling a sigh of relief as his gaze swept across the surroundings he beheld an ancient sword hovering majestically in the center of the 17th level of the sword Pavilion is this all there is in the 17th level as wangon approached for a closer inspection his xen sword suddenly emanated a fierce battle intent trembling vigorously this marked the first instance of such intense battle intent from the Xian sword Wang tion was taken aback previously the xen sword had remained composed in the presence of other swords yet now it was actively releasing its battle intent there could only be one explanation this ancient sword might also be of the highest Celestial quality on par with the xien sword Wong tion speculated as he pondered a horse yet resonant voice emanated from the ancient sword after three millennia another disciple has finally arrived at the 17th level of the sword Pavilion with the utterance of those words a profound Aura of Sword Spirit radiated from the ancient sword swiftly coalescing into the form of an elderly man with gray white hair this elder existed in the form of a sword Soul adorned in a gray robe exuding an amiable demeanor yet his tranquil gaze concealed the terrifying edge of the sword you are not the sword Shadow wongon exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing the Elder emerge from The Sword previously every sword within the sword Pavilion had manifested as a mere silhouette devoid of speech or Consciousness merely a shadowy outline yet this elder possessed distinct features and independent awareness I am Leong the founding ancestor of shushan though I exist merely as a sword soul and this sword is my treasured weapon the chi sha sword elone regarded Wong tion with a friendly gaze as if assessing his Junior upon hearing this Wong tion was rendered speechless unable to Fathom that the founding ancestor of shushan had not perished entirely leaving his sword soul to linger in the 17th level of the sword Pavilion if the founding ancestor guards the 17th level then who occupies the 18th a sudden thought flashed through Wong tion's mind. I am tion Wong a disciple of the sword Simo ching chang and currently an elder of the Hong Yuan Peak this sword in my hand is the Xian sword coming to his senses wongon respectfully bowed and introduced himself Hal truthfully the xen sword a flicker of surprise crossed the sword Soul Le Fang's eyes quickly followed by a look of realization in a wonder you managed to surpass my trial it turns out you wield the xen sword a blade that once held equal Renown to my chi sha sword finally Wong tion comprehended why the xen sword exhibited such potent battle intent it had encountered a rival of equal caliber ancestor shall we commence wongon felt a surge of eagerness for it was a rare honor to spar with the founding ancestor of shushen why cha sword is also eager to to engage here my realm shall align with yours unleash your full potential and allow me to witness your true capacity the sword solely Fong stood with his hands clasped behind his back exuding a demeanor of calmness and composure ancestor I shall begin wongon tightened his grip on the xen sword and charged swiftly toward the Elder Elon wielding the chi sha sword with one hand met Wong Ton's assault with remarkable ease Wong tion armed with the xien sword lunged and thrust repeatedly exhausting considerable effort yet he could not breach the elders defenses barely grazing him Ching Xin Hong Yuan wongon summoned the ching xien and Hong Yuan swords deploying three blades against him observing wangon summoned two holy swords Leon displayed an appreciative expression too think he has tamed two holy swords alas they are of no use against me as Leong spoke his gaze sharpened and suddenly several strands of Sword energy transformed into blossoming people flowers shooting forth at lightning speed the ching xiin and Hong Yuan swords had no time to react being swiftly propelled Away by the peach blossom sword energy fortunately Wong tion managed to evade just in time narrowly escaping impressive impressive to evade my peach blossom sword energy at such close range demonstrates remarkable agility elong maintained his nonchalant demeanor speaking as if he were mentoring Wong tion Wong tion took several steps back realizing that if he continued in this manner he would exhaust himself and lose I cannot afford to falter here ancestors yesu promised me that the higher I Ascend in the sword Pavilion the longer the alliance with the chilin Pavilion would last if I concede at this level I may miss my chance entirely Wong tion steadied his mind and summoned all nine swords from the system space I must resort to this final tactic as the nine swords materialized Wong tion's gaze turned Steely and the surrounding sword intent thickened substantially observing the intensifying sword intent ancestor Leong recognized that Wong tion was about to unleash a formidable technique yet he showed no inclination to intervene Unleash Your full repertoire should you Prevail against me I shall Grant you one request Leon declared with unwavering confidence then brace yourself for this attack Wong tion shouted instantly activating the 10,000 swords returned to origin technique the sword Pavilion was isolated from the outside world previously Wong tion had attempted to borrow swords but failed thus this time he would not borrow but directly wield his own swords to execute this move instantly the xien sword Ching xien sword Hong Yuan Sword and the nine summon swords formed a miniature version of the 10,000 swords returned to origin though fewer in Number the sword energy radiated fiercely rivaling that of a thousand swords and might the 10,000 swords returned to origin how Splendid strike me with all your might Leone was thrilled to witness wangon unleash one of shushan three great sword techniques for the strength of his essor signified the enduring Legacy of the sect he had founded then prepare to receive it a glint of Cold Light flashed in Wong tion's eyes as he launched the entirety of the 10,000 swords returned to origin toward Leo in an instant 12 swords transformed into a terrifying Whirlwind of Sword energy bearing down upon Le with an overwhelming pressure as if intent on devouring him whole excellent Leong bellowed and with a single hand he traced a circle in the air with his sword within that Circle Peach blossoms bloomed profusely their soord energy radiating outward as if to pierce through the very fabric of space Peach blossoms sword array countless strands of Sword energy morphed into Peach blossoms surging forth towards the Myriad swords returning to their Source the two formidable sword arrays collided midair unleashing a staggering blast of energy the sword energy erupted like a torrential rain of pear blossoms scattering in all directions while Wong tion's 12 swords were sent flying by the force of the explosion instead of summoning his swords back wangon swiftly moved forward to fill the void left by the flying juen sword striking towards Leon with the Palm without your sword how do you intend to fight me Leon was astonished by the power of Wong tion's Myriad swords returning to their Source yet with the juian sword Now cast aside he believed Wong tion posed no threat however in the blink of an eye nine Golden Dragon energies surged towards him causing LEF Fang's expression to shift dramatically chapter 42 all all cards on the table confronted with the nine Golden Dragon energies approaching at close range the masterly fo finally changed his demeanor I Ina moment of urgency he summoned the power of his sword Spirit erecting a simple Peach Blossom sword array around himself for protection yet won's nine Dragon Palm derived from the dragon egg within his Danton wielded extraordinary power the nine Golden Dragon energies struck solidly against Lea Fang's sword Spirit defense after neutralizing eight of the golden dragon energies the final pierced through Lea Fang's Peach Blossom sord array continuing unabated until it slammed into him directly to l phone staggered back several steps before regaining his footing a mixture of surprise and Delight etched on his face well done that young lad Le chunjun could barely touch me yet you have landed a solid blow you are indeed slightly more formidable than him rather than wrath Leone was filled with exhilaration master I advise you to take this seriously my strength is far beyond what you've seen Wong tion waved his hand summoning the juian sword back into his grasp you are of Royal lineage which indeed caught me off guard in a wonder you wear a mask elong seemed to have realized something then inquired are you trying to conceal your Royal identity from others indeed otherwise why would I wear a mask Wong tion admitted boldly very well should you best me I can have that young girl xishu open a spiritual vein within you allowing your dragon energy and spiritual energy to Interchange the swords spirly phone promised a generous reward upon hearing this wongon was overjoyed Theo avoid revealing his identity he had refrained from using dragon energy and during his earlier battle against the grand Elder of long hushen Jang ba he had been placed in a defensive position if he could convert spiritual energy he would not have been so passive then all right I accept Wong tion now had a compelling reason to win this time I shall respond with all my might you had better be cautious masterly Fong swiftly launched an attack towards wongon who dared not be negligent summoning all 12 swords back to his side he wielded the juian sword while engagingly fo simultaneously using the other 11 swords to harass him continuously yet even so he found it challenging to keep Pace with masterly fo although the Master's realm had been suppressed to the sixth Rank by the sword Pavilion his swordsmanship was exceptionally refined often a seemingly casual strike from him radiated immense sword light after suffering a setback from a direct confrontation Wong tion no longer dared to meet him head-on fortunately his juian sword was powerful and allowed him to wield dragon energy without reservations yet even so he struggled to withstand Master Le Fang's Peach Blossom sword techniques with Leong unleashing his full power his combat prowess surged consistently pressuring Wong tion and leaving no opportunity for a Counterattack 9,000 Mi of Sword masterly fo went all out forcing wongon to retreat repeatedly even executing one of the three great sword techniques of shushan the the 9,000 Mi of Sword seeing this Wong tion hastily initiated the Myriad swords returning to their Source but the hurried sword array he summoned was no match for the Master's 9,000 Mi of Sword a flash of white sword light streak past as Swift as Thunder and in the next moment the array Wong tion had just formed was shattered the immense sword energy sent Wong tion flying several meters before he crashed heavily to the ground he felt a sweetness in his throat as he coughed up blood how formidable his swordsmanship is too strong the fully Unleashed ancestor is simply beyond my capabilities Wong tion had come to grasp the situation although the ancestor realm was suppressed to the sixth rank his swordsmanship was unparalleled and he could unleash powerful techniques with the same ease as taking a breath requiring no overt gestures I in contrast Wong tion's Myriad swords returning to their Source demanded deliberate movements and a Unity of intent placing them in entirely different leagues if this continued victory for Wong tion was assuredly impossible possible kid do you now see the gap between us your foundation in swordsmanship is far too lacking you are no match for me with but a slight exertion I have reached the limits of this rank masterly fo was quite pleased with his earlier display Wong tion did not dispute this for the ancestors spoke the truth with just a minimal effort he had indeed reached the Pinnacle of the sixth rank however he refused to concede defeat so easily do you think this is the end struggling to rise from the ground determination radiated from Wong tion's expression oh do you have any more tricks up your sleeve Master Le fings interest was peaked in this match I must Prevail Wong tion wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth his eyes filled with resolve then retrieved an ancient and elegant bronze mirror from his system space upon its emergence masterly fo was momentarily taken aback but upon sensing the unique energy within his expression shifted dramatically this this is the loon realm how do you possess the realm from Kon Island Master Le was astonished having encountered the konon realm in his lifetime he still remembered the energy it contained thus the appearance of the konon realm left him astounded the Kon mirror was a supreme Celestial artifact comparable to the juian sword and was The Treasure of Kon Island which Wong tion had obtained from the burial Goods of the spirit treasure Emperor although Wong tion was unaware of how the spirit treasure Emperor acquired the konon realm the artifact was now in his possession surprised are you Wong tion finally felt a surge of confidence apart from the Moon Fox Pearl the Kon realm was his last card as shushan was a sect dedicated to slaying demons and eliminating evils Wong tion dared not employ the fox Spirit as power from the Moon Fox Pearl thus he could only rely on the konon mirror indeed quite unexpected for the first time Le Fang's expression grew serious Wong tion wasted no words channeling his dragon energy to activate the mirror aiming it towards masterly pH to unleash its capabilities I in the next moment a duplicate of masterly Fong appeared before Wang tion identical in every aspect the konon realm possessed the ability to replicate all things under Heaven anything illuminated by could be mirrored the replicated entity would possess identical combat prowess and skills but would endure double the damage not only could it replicate people but it could also duplicate plants animals and even structures though the duration was contingent upon the Caster strength with Wong tion's sixth rank power the replication could last a maximum of 15 minutes just over 7 Minutes Master let us settle this with a single decisive blow wongan knew he could not maintain the replication for long thus he sought to end the battle swiftly very well let it be settled with a single strike masterly Fang's competitive Spirit ignited he too wished to see if with the power of his sword Spirit he could overcome the Combined Assault of The juian Sword and the konon mirror Myriad swords returning to their Source Wong tion Unleashed his strongest while the duplicate executed its ultimate move 9,000 Mi of Sword the two great sword techniques of shushan struck simultaneously their power astonishing outside the sword Pavilion sect master wayen and the elders awaited Wong tion's emergence filled with anticipation as they believed he could never conquer the 17th leveled its nearly Dawn the Elder tion Wong should be emerging soon the plump Elder was growing anxious he should be out shortly there's no way he can withstand the 17th level for much longer once he does I shall proclaim a three-day celebration throughout shushan sect Master Wayan's eyes sparkled with excitement a genius of swordsmanship had emerged from shushan and he was overjoyed even the ancestors xishu prepared to discuss an alliance with him but just then the bronze Bell of the 18th level of the sword Pavilion rang out the resounding voice echoed throughout shushan once more initially Wen and the others were taken aback they had firmly believed Wang tion would falter at the 17th level never imagining he could breach into the 18th now with the Bell tolling from the 18th level they were rendered utterly speechless even the ancestors xishu revealed a look of shock for the first time how is this possible this lad actually passed the Master's test chapter 43 the Pinnacle of the sword Pavilion as the sound of the bronze Bell reverberated throughout shushan all disciples were left dumbfounded they had unanimously believed that Wong tion could not possibly surpass the 17th level of the sword Pavilion for even the strongest of shushan the sword Godly had only reached the 17th level yet today someone had crossed this threshold and entered the previously Uncharted 18th level leaving them utterly astonished it must be noted that shushan had been established for 8,000 years and never had a disciple reached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion until today when history was made following a brief silence shushan erupted in fervor even those disciples in secluded meditation emerged as the news was simply too explosive good heavens someone has actually reached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion who is this person more formidable than even the sword Godly indeed it's astonishing someone has shattered the record set by the sword Godly on the 18th level of the sword Pavilion a historical event unprecedented in the annal of shushan unfolds truly astonishing hurry to the sword Pavilion and discover who has dared to breach its sanctum it is highly likely that we are witnessing the emergence of Shan's future Champion I shall also go yearning to pay homage to this remarkable individual I in an instant all disciples rushed towards the sword Pavilion eager to Glimpse the identity of this extraordinary Intruder regrettably the sect leader wayen had anticipated the influx of disciples and to prevent any disruption to Wong tion's Endeavor had established a barrier 10 km away from The Sword Pavilion rendering them unable to approach as the elders regained their composure they too were struck with profound astonishment the bronze Bell of the 18th level of the sword pav could it be that Elder tion Wong has indeed ascended to this level am I not dreaming the corpulent Elder face was etched with disbelief as he struggled to accept the reality for8 Millennia since the founding of shushan no disciple had ever reached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion and know sooner had he voiced his thoughts than a middle-aged female Elder delivered a resounding slap to his face it hurts why did you strike me Elder one he queried bewildered the pain confirms you are not dreaming Elder tion Wong has truly breached the 18th level creating yet another chapter in xuan's history Elder one exclaimed her eyes brimming with excitement her entire being trembling with emotion a once in 8,000 years Prodigy has emerged within shushan presenting an unparalleled opportunity that could Elevate the sect to unprecedented Heights sect leader wayen shared in the exhilaration fully aware of the transformative potential Elder tion Wong's presence would bring to shushan even Elder xishu exhibited a look of astonishment upon hearing the chime of the bronze Bell from the 18th level this young man surpasses my expectations what hidden strength does he possess to Traverse the trial set by our ancestors for the first time Elder xisha felt a spark of curiosity towards wongon upon stepping into the 18th level Wong tion was immediately enveloped by an overwhelming sword in ENT emanating from all directions as if the entire level were composed of Swords yet upon closer inspection he found no swords in sight how could there be such a potent sword intent without a single sword present a sense of unease crept over him prompting him to instinctively summon his dragon energy for protection wary of being obliterated by the fierce sword intent at that moment a silent sword Chi surged toward Wang tion from a distance be why the time he sensed the approaching energy it was too late fortunately he instinctively sidestepped just in time allowing the formless sword Chi to barely graze him tearing a rip in his clothing a sword indeed exists wongon retreated several steps scanning the direction from which the sword shei had originated yet still saw no sword why can I not see the sword yet feel its presence he furrowed his brow then closed his eyes relying on his sword heart to sense the surroundings indeed not far behind him floated an invisible sword agile and imbued with a fierce sword intent the most formidable he had ever encountered Wong tion quickly grasped the situation now that he had identified the sword overcoming it would be manageable as he contemplated he summon Shing xiin Hong Yuan and the nine treasured swords from the system space preparing for a numerical Advantage however as soon as the 11 swords emerged they cowered behind him too intimidated to confront the invisible sword only the xen sword exhibited a modum of Courage though its sword Radiance appeared significantly diminished lacking The Valor it had shown when facing the chiia sword how could this be even the juian sword lacks fighting Spirit clutching the limp juian sword wongon felt a sense of forboding if even his sword lacked resolve how could he possibly contend with the formless sword is this truly a Divine sword a sudden thought struck him only a sword of a higher caliber could suppress the exceptional zien sword as long tion pondered countless strands of Sword she erupted from The elusive sword he could only evade relying on his dragon energy for defense thankfully his agility allowed him to narrowly escape each attack yet continuing in this manner would inevitably lead to his defeat he could not afford to keep dodging it was time for a Counterattack return to the source of 10,000 swords Wong tion forcefully willed his 12 swords to execute the technique but aside from the xien sword which reluctantly complied the other 11 swords seem to be under the control of the formless sword this bewildering sight left Wong tion dumbfounded good Heavens is the level of this formless sword truly so high that it can command other swords Wong tion mused his understanding expanding however what astonished him further was that the 11 controlled swords formed their own array of 10,000 swords returning to the source their sword Chi more potent than his own Wong tion's heart raced if this sword could also execute the technique how could he ever hope to win suddenly he recalled the konon mirror Wong tion retrieved the mirror yet it failed to reveal the sword's presence he could sense the formless sword due to his sword heart but the konon mirror lacked such sensitivity moreover It could only be used once within a day and even if it revealed the sword it would not activate any effects it was over all his strategies were rendered ineffective against the formless sword for the first time he felt a sense of Despair faced with such a sword he found himself utterly powerless in that moment he resolved to make a desperate gamble juian sword I implore you to show some Spirit wongon launched the only remaining juen sword toward the formless sword though it flew forth it lacked the Vigor of its previous strikes and the Damage it could inflict had considerably diminished meanwhile the array of Swords commanded By The formless Sword surged forth with a formidable Force roaring toward wongon the two arrays collided madir and Wong tion's juen sword was overwhelmed almost instantly his expression shifted in alarm but he had anticipated this outcome and prepared a backup plan as the xen sword flew away Wong tion dashed toward the formless sword keeping low to the ground eye in the moment of collision between the two arrays He Slipped through and struck at the formless sword with his palm Nine Dragons Palm Wong tion shouted unleashing nine streams of golden dragon energy toward the elusive sword he believed this surprise attack would surely allow him to close the distance but he was mistaken the formless sword deafly evaded the stried ion the next instant his chest was sliced open blood spilling forth chapter 44 to form an alliance must one Risk Everything a flicker of Cold Light flashed as the fabric of Wong tion's shirt was horn revealing a 10 cm long wound from which blood flowed rapidly the Crimson droplet splattered onto the formless sword finally allowing Wong tion to perceive its location yet knowing its position changed nothing the xen sword's radiance was suppressed and ching xiin hongan and the nine treasured swords were under the formless swords control while his nine Dragon Palm could not reach it and the mirror was rendered useless I concede wongon declared after careful consideration if he did not yield he he might very well perish here this formless sword was far too formidable for his current strength the moment he acknowledged defeat the nine treasured swords along with ching xien and Hong Yuan seemed to regain their freedom flying back to his side senior sword I shall return Wong tion murmured stowing the 12 swords back into the system space clutching his chest in defeat as he retraced his steps although Wong tion had hoped to clear the challenge and secure additional Alliance time for the Chillin Pavilion his lack of power forced him to retreat he could not risk his life in this endeavor after Wong tion fully vanished from the 18th level of the sword Pavilion the formless sword finally revealed its true form it was a Flawless Snow White long sword its body delicate and unblemished yet a streak of fresh Blood Stained its pristine surface resembling a plum blossom a dense Aura of spiritual energy emanated from the immaculate long sword coalescing into a charming and beautiful girl appearing to be around 14 or 15 years of age she wore a gown as white as snow embroidered with pink flowers that accentuated her youthful charm her eyes sparkled like Clear Water Untouched by Earthly concerns akin to stars in the sky radiating bright light her skin was as pale as snow her exquisitely sculpted face exuding an aura of sweetness and innocence while her lustrous black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her delicate shoulders her smooth white legs were openly displayed in the air her small Jade feet bare and Untouched by dust why did he leave without even putting in any effort I should have played with him first after being trapped here for 8,000 years someone finally arrives and he just walks away now I shall be bored once more the girl pouted clearly displeased then she noticed the blood that had splattered onto her sword and her eyes lit up after being confined for eight Millennia this might be an opportunity for escape although it would Forge a bond with him it was preferable to Eternal imprisonment as she spoke the girl harnessed her sword spirit Power beginning to absorb the blood from The Sword eye in no time the drop of blood wangon had left behind transformed into a crimson light that entered her mind the next moment a blood red plum blossom Mark appeared in the center of her Fair forehead Wong tion filled with dejection retraced his steps however Midway through his journey a shadow of a sword suddenly appeared in his mind its blade light and agile yet exuding a chilling gleam could it be that I have been struck by that shadowless sword wongon shook his head attempting to dispel the image of the sword but no matter how hard he tried the shadow remained firmly lodged in his Consciousness indeed I have truly been haunted by its shadow feeling quite dejected Wong tion quickened his Pace to retrace his steps he yearned for a good night's sleep to rid himself of this vexatious sword Shadow before long Wong tion emerged from The Sword Pavilion as he stepped outside the sect leader wayen and a host of Elders greeted him with palpable excitement Elder ton Wong you have finally come out you have truly given us a tremendous surprise wayen was the first to approach his face brimming with enthusiasm however he quickly noticed Wong tion's wound on his chest without a moment's hesitation he retrieved a bottle of Premium healing Elixir from his spatial ring and handed it over Elder tion Wong this is a healing potion developed exclusively by our shushen sect specifically designed to Target sword injuries you will recover swiftly after taking it thank you sect leader way Wong tion did not refuse as the pain from The Sword wound still throbbed with blood continuing to flow he accepted the potion poured out several healing pills and swallowed them down Elder ton Wong could you Enlighten us about the 18th level of the sword Pavilion the portly Elders squeezed to the front his plump face alight with curiosity not just him but the others were equally intrigued even the esteemed xisha had a glint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes for in the entirety of shushan over the past 8,000 years only wongon had ventured into the 18th level of the sword Pavilion the 18th level houses an invisible sword unseen to the naked eye yet perceptible to the heart of the sword all swords lose their fighting spirit in its presence wongon recounted The Experience he had encountered in the 18th level he too wished to uncover the true nature of this shadowless sword an invisible sword imperceptible to the naked eye only sensed by The Heart Of The Sword wayen and the others furrowed their their brows for such a sword was a first in their hearing only a Divine sword could cause all swords to lose their will to fight a Divine sword xish suddenly spoke her lips parting lightly the others gasped in astonishment could it be that our shushan possesses a Divine sword this is utterly unbelievable who placed the Divine sword in the 18th level of the sword Pavilion this question left not only way and puzzled but also the rest including xisha herself baffled seeing their blank Expressions WTI realized he would have to temper his expectations Elder tion Wong please follow me xiu suddenly interjected all right Wong tion was eager to discuss the alliance with the chilin Pavilion now that he had breached the 18th level the alliance would surely last at least 18 years after sect leader way and the other Elders dispersed Wang tion followed X schwe to her secluded meditation chamber this was the highest peak of Shuan the goddess Peak named for its resemblance to a Divine figure the peak was perpetually shrouded in spiritual energy and aside from jishu her disciples also trained here coexisting harmoniously with numerous Aven spirit beasts upon arriving at the goddess Peak XI led wongon directly to a private chamber Elder we need not exert ourselves so much over the alliance the previous Hall would suffice Wong tion feeling anxious was eager to finalize the alliance swiftly however xiu seemed to have other intentions such matters cannot be conducted in the hall my private chamber is more appropriate xiw stated calmly such matters wongon sensed an unsettling Nuance yet for the sake of a smooth Alliance he followed her into her meditation chamber as he entered the door was firmly shut behind him with a heavy thud causing Wong tion's heart to skip a beat Elder I have arrived at your chamber let us hasten to finalize the alliance with the chilin Pavilion Wong tion urged his tone tinged with urgency the alliance can wait first remove your clothing xishu turned her lips parting delicately what wangon was taken aback was xishu intending to impose some unspoken rule upon him to Aid the alliance with the chilin Pavilion must he sacrifice his own Integrity chapter 45 opening the spiritual meridians upon hearing xue's request to disrobe Wong tion's heart raced a forboding sense of dread washing over him Elder let us first discuss the alliance he studied himself contemplating that finalizing the alliance should take precedence yet xishu remained unyielding I said remove your clothing why do you question me XI frowned her displeasure evident Wong tion sensing her Rising ey swallowed hard if he angered her would the alliance fall through would his journey to shushan be for not no he must ensure the alliance between shushan and the chilin Pavilion otherwise his efforts would be in vain as for the unspoken rule perhaps it was a small sacrifice especially considering xiu's Beauty yunio you owe me me a tremendous favor Resolute Wong tion began to undress tears brimming in his eyes willing to sacrifice his dignity for the alliance as each garment slipped away his well-toned physique was revealed this was the first time he had disrobed in front of a woman and a sense of Shame washed over him you must also remove your trousers xishu urged eyeing him critically Elder please be gentle I fear pain wongon lamented feeling a mix of humiliation and resignation unable to resist especially against someone as formidable as the sword fairy xishu he succumbed to his fate with a sense of degradation Wang tion shed his trousers leaving only his undergarments Cal Elder no matter the outcome I implore you to fulfill your promise regarding the alliance with the CH and Pavilion Wong tion closed his eyes bracing for what was to come determined to endure xisha circled around the exposed wongon then delicately pressed her long slender fingers against his chest feeling the warmth of her touch won's heart raced was it about to begin as he braced himself for the impending humiliation her delicate fingers pressed firmly against his chest targeting a specific acupoint the pain was sharp causing wongon to grit his teeth cursing xiu's methods yet in the next moment a surge of Rich spiritual energy flowed into him easing his discomfort and relaxing his tense features with each subsequent press on his acupoints wongon experienced a mix of pain and soothing energy leaving him bewildered Elder if you intend to proceed please do so quickly this feels more like a game he finally exclaimed unable to contain his frustration who is playing with you I am merely attending to business xiu retorted her icy demeanor unwavering as she targeted another sensitive area the sharp pain radiating from his inner thigh caused wongon to clench his jaw yet once again warmth flooded through him alleviating the pain ASG continued her ministrations he realized she was indeed opening his spiritual meridians just as the sword Spirit Le phone had promised Elder are you truly opening my spiritual meridians Wong ton finally grasped the situation well what do you think I'm doing xiu shot him a disapproving glance before returning to her task recalling the words of the sword Spirit Wong tion marveled at how the promise was being fulfilled however he still wondered why it required him to disrobe can't One open spiritual meridians while clothed he questioned curiosity pequ it is difficult to locate the acupoints while clothed and the process generates a significant amount of heat if you remain dressed you could suffocate xwe explained patiently realizing his misunderstanding wongon expressed his gratitude Elder I truly appreciate your efforts opening spiritual meridians was an arduous task demanding immense focus and energy xiu's brow glistened with beads of sweat dampening her bangs as she exerted herself her once cool countenance now bore a hint of palor revealing her dedication to the task as more acupoints were opened the spiritual energy within Wong tion surged gradually accumulating and beginning to flow in a harmonious sequence this left Wong tion utterly astonished for it indicated that the spiritual veins within him had begun to take shape with just one final crucial acup point to be opened he would be complete the venerable xiu focused her gaze upon Wang tion's lower abdomen and with a gentle poke of her delicate hand at the Danton the last acupoint was instantly unblocked thus all the acupoints for the operation of the spiritual veins were now open and after the spiritual energy traversed Wong tion's body for a complete cycle it converged at the Danon originally there resided a golden dragon egg which upon receiving the spiritual energy subtly expanded in size Wong tion attempted to convert the dragon energy into spiritual energy and to his surprise he succeeded as a sphere of spiritual energy materialized in his palm the dragon energy within the dragon egg could seamlessly trans transform into spiritual energy it was done the spiritual veins have been activated Wong tion exclaimed in excitement with this spiritual vein he could Traverse the Marshall world without fear of exposing his identity it was accomplished he had fulfilled the task entrusted by his master it this moment xisha weary took a seat in a chair within the secret chamber her delicate face glistening with sweat and fatigue her hair dampened by perspiration even her purple dress soaked seeing xishu in such a state deeply moved wongon Master thank you for opening my spiritual veins I shall forever remember this kindness if you ever require my assistance in the future I will do my utmost to help you Wong tion expressed his gratitude once more although it was the master's directive for xishu to open his spiritual veins the immense expenditure of her spiritual power and mental fortitude necessitated that he remember this favor well forget about the future letun discuss it now jisha adjusted her breath and continued I have an important task for you I need you to help me find nine specific materials as I mentioned before X's enchanting eyes boore into wongon previously mentioned is it the matter of locating the nine materials Wong tion pondered before responding indeed it pertains to the nine materials xisha confirmed adopting a more relaxed posture in her chair revealing her graceful form to Wong tion which nine materials does the master require wongon inquired with curiosity XI meticulously listed the nine materials the demon suppression Stone the Soul purifying water the demon repelling Talisman the Tranquil Lotus the cleansing Pearl the Exquisite wood the nine young iron core the pristine ground and the blood of sacred beasts wongon committed each of these to memory very well but may I ask what you intend to do with these materials wongon could not help but question Doo eradicate demons xish pondered for a moment before uttering the two words eradicate demons are there still demons in this world wongon queried somewhat perplexed ASA Prince he had perused numerous texts within the Royal Palace including those regarding the demon race it was said that a millennium ago prior to the establishment of the great Chen Dynasty demons roam the tonen continent but due to differing cultivation methods and beliefs they clashed violently with human practitioners ultimately culminating in an apocalyptic War this conflict lasted a century resulting in the complete eradication of the demon race including their Empress shortly after the demons were vanquished the first emperor in Invincible manner founded the greatest Empire the great Chen upon the tonen continent demons have always existed not a millennium ago following the fall of their Empress the demon race suffered great losses yet some managed to survive jishua continued after a brief pause for the past 10,000 years they have infiltrated Humanity adopting human ways and concealing themselves within the tonen continent our duty in shushan is to slay demons and eradicate evil now that you are a disciple of shushan you must uphold our mission if you encounter demons you must be Resolute and annihilate them without Mercy rest assured now that I am a disciple of shushan I shall certainly uphold Justice Wong tion declared with righteous fervor though inwardly he held reservations demons while indeed a foreign race could possess both good and evil Theo indiscriminately slay them without understanding the circumstances seemed more monstrous than the demons themselves a notion he could not condone do you know why the sword Godly Jinn fell into madness and met his demise xishu pondered for a moment before asking wasn't it due to being troubled by love Wong tion replied bewildered if he had loved an ordinary woman he wouldn't have been troubled yet he chose to fall for a demonis xiu's words struck wangon with astonishment he had never imagined that the renowned sword Godly chunu the foremost figure of shushan would be enamored with a demonus in a wonder he succumbed to emotional turmoil Torn Between the righteous mission of shushan and the woman he adored every choice would bring him Agony it was no surprise he fell into madness how tragic for a legendary swordmaster Wong t on side reflecting on the fate of the sword God and began to understand why shushan harbored such animosity towards demons they had robbed shushan of its soulle Talent capable of becoming a sword God Elder tion Wong you are the most gifted disciple of the sword path in shushan in 8,000 years I do not wish for you to follow in the footsteps of the sword Godly xish said with a serious demeanor shushan cannot endure another cycle of great joy and sorrow fear not master I could never develop feelings for a demonus even if I were to perish I would leap from this goddess Peak rather than fall for a demonus wongon vowed earnestly concluding with a playful jab at jishua moreover what is so appealing about demonises they pale in comparison to your beauty and charm Master you cheeky one jishua fed sternness internally pleased who wouldn't enjoy being praised enough of the demon matters I will assist you in gathering these nine materials Wong tion readily agreed then shifted the conversation be why the way Master should we discuss the alliance with the chilin Pavilion according to our prior agreement having breached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion shouldn't the duration of our alliance be extended you seem quite invested in the alliance with the chilin Pavilion xishu remarked with Newfound interest I have friends in the chilin Pavilion so naturally I am more concerned wongon casually replied friends female XI teased her captivating Gaze fixated on Wong tion as if trying to see through him since they're merely friends why pry so much just tell me how long the alliance will last Wong tion felt a bit awkward under her scrutiny 3 years xiu stated followed by The Gentle parting of her lips if Within These 3 years you assist me in gathering these nine materials I can extend our alliance with them for an additional 100 years if after 3 years you have not gathered the materials our alliance with the chilin Pavilion will formally conclude what only 3 years for an alliance I have breached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion Wong tion exclaimed in indignation having expected a duration of at least 18 years given his achievement weren't you quite confident about finding the nine materials if you succeed the total Alliance duration would be 103 years isn't that still a generous time xishu smiled lightly Wong tion found himself speechless several of these materials were unfamiliar to him and he anticipated that Gathering them would prove challenging however he recalled The chilin Pavilion an organization proficient in gathering intelligence and materials very well 3 years it is but I require that our shushan and the chilin Pavilion sign a formal alliance contract pledging to never renig and to make this declaration known to the world only then will other factions refrain from targeting them and at appropriate times we must dispatch experts to protect them Wong tion proposed after careful consideration he needed to ensure the chilin pavilion's absolute safety before feeling secure of course once we step outside I will instruct wayen to send someone to the chilin Pavilion to sign the alliance contract promising never to break the agreement while also making it known to the world that should the chilin Pavilion face danger shushan will render full assistance XI readily agreed with this assurance wongon felt relieved now he merely needed to focus on Gathering the nine materials After exiting the goddess Peak xishu personally led wongon to meet the sect leader wayen ensuring that the alliance with the chilin Pavilion was properly arranged rest assured master I will see to it that this matter is handled properly I will personally accompany Elder tion Wong to the chilin Pavilion SE leader wayen bowed very well go ahead xishu nodded before their departure xishu once more cautioned wangonk remember my words do not follow in the footsteps of those sword path prodigies are you referring to the Forbidden Love between emoji and Shong and his disciple or the celestial demon Romance of the sword Godly Wong tion asked intently as both had lost promising future futes due to their affections for those they should not have loved xishu realizing the implications appeared somewhat flustered but soon regained her composure stating firmly neither is acceptable understood Master let us be on our way Wong tion followed closely behind sect leader wayen with a command of rise the two soared into the air swiftly making their way towards the chilin Pavilion xi's gaze remained fixed on Wong tion until he vanished from sight her attention lingering long after he had gone in the grand estate of the chilin Pavilion Y and ruse Sat by the window engrossed in her painting with a brush in hand the gentle light filtering through the window enveloped her Casting a golden Veil over her figure making her appear as if a Celestial being had descended to the Mortal realm her eyebrows resembled distant verdant mountains while her eyes sparkled like the stars the brush in her hand danced gracefully across the paper akin to a butterfly fluttering about delicately sketching a mysterious figure clad in a silver masked Visage and a flowing black cloak s she gazed at the Painted Man yunio found herself momentarily entranced the fleeting glance they had shared that day bestowed upon her an extraordinary sensation as if a thousand years had passed in an instant truly wondrous why did his sword resonate with my could it be that he was the one who bestowed the upon me the astute yunio seemed to grasp something promptly retrieving the note once more the handwriting still remarkably clear just as her thoughts deepened her maid Shia Hong rushed in breathless miss that that that person has arrived she stammered her urgency rendering her speechless which person yunio furrowed her brow the man from your portrait has come and this time the sect leader from shushan has accompanied him xiaohong managed to explain catching her breath the son of the Heavenly King has arrived yuno's delicate features brighten with joy and she instinctively moved to step outside only to pause and return taking a moment to ECT her reflection in a bronze mirror adjusting her bangs and smoothing her temples until she felt satisfied before finally making her way out within the grand hall of chilin Pavilion Yun jongi was warmly hosting wangon and wayen sect Master we young Master tion please sample this latest tea from Tan Mountain Yun jungi said with a beaming smile though initially skeptical about the alliance with shushan given that it had never forged alliances in its 8,000 year history the site of the shushan sect leader way sien and the Heavenly King together sparked a glimmer of hope within him Yun Pavilion master I shall be straightforward I have come on behalf of shushan to propose an alliance with your chilin Pavilion might you be amable waan said nonchalantly after sipping his tea certainly we are most willing Yun jongi replied eagerly excitement bubbling within him with shushan a top tier sect as their Ally the reputation of chilin Pavilion would surely soar and more importantly no one would dare to provoke them easily not even lho Mountain however the initial Alliance would last for 3 years and once the Heavenly King Elder gathers the nine materials required by our ancestor shushan will extend the alliance with your chilin Pavilion for a century thereafter Wayan clarified and advanced and no problem should shushan require any assistance feel free to seek our chilin Pavilion Yun jongi said undeterred by the short initial Alliance recognizing the immense opportunity presented by this Union our chilin Pavilion May lack in combat prowess yet our intelligence network is exceptionally robust he added coincidentally I have n materials I need to locate could you assist me wongon wasted no time handing a slip of paper to Yun jongi which detailed the nine materials requested by the revered ancestor very well allow me to examine this Yun jongi responded scrutinizing the note his brow furrowing deeper as he realized the Rarity of the items listed some of which he had never even heard of however he was familiar with three of them young Master tion I am aware of the Holy Beast blood lingong wood and Jang iron heartt mentioned here as for the other six I will need some time to investigate but rest assured I will ascertain their whereabouts shortly Yun jongi assured confidence lacing his tone fully aware of the capabilities of his intelligence Network furthermore assisting wongon equated to aiding their own cause as acquiring those nine materials would extend the alliance with shushan by another Century ensuring the safety of chilin pavilion's future Generations perhaps you could elaborate on those three you are familiar with Wong tion's gaze was eager knowing that chilin pavilion's knowledge surpassed his own with their help he was confident that the nine materials would be gathered within 3 years firstly Ling long wood is derived from the lingong tree and is a primary material for crafting Exquisite mechanical puppets Yun jongi elaborated earnestly the primary material for Exquisite mechanical puppets Wang tion suddenly recalled XA newu a perfect puppet crafted by Master lubon himself indeed the only source of Ling long wood in the entire deian Empire is tiangou Pavilion so if you seek lingong wood you must approach them Yun jangi stated solemnly as acquiring it from Tanguay Pavilion would be akin to scaling a mountain Tanguay Pavilion the one founded by master mosy and furthered by Master lubon Wong tion inquired precisely linglong wood is their prize treasure and acquiring even a fragment from them poses considerable difficulty yunjong continue. for Jang Iron Heart it is sourced from jyang Mountain the territory of the tiangong sect jyang Mountain sporadically erupts with jyang Mountain Fire Within which lies the the Jang Iron Heart the finest material for forging exceptional Celestial swords however obtaining Jang Iron Heart necessitates first passing through the tong gong sex defenses not to mention risking incineration by the volcanic Flames he added Wong ton frowned at this news realizing that none of the nine materials his ancestor had tasked him with were easily accessible what of the Holy Beast blood Wong tion could not help but inquire holy beasts are Elusive and their tracks difficult to trace but not far from the capitalize the Moon moonfall Valley home to a holy Beast known as the nine-headed AO born from the union of a dragon and a flood Dragon Yun jungi explained however moonfall Valley is a forbidden ground for the fox demon Clan closely guarded by the ninetail tribe making entry perilous even if one were to enter the nine-headed AO would not be easily subdued having cultivated for thousands of years its strength likely rivaling that of human Immortals or Beyond upon hearing this Wong tion suddenly recalled an important matter he had to attend to in moonfall Valley furthermore he had sent Fox granny to arrange a meeting with the ninetail tribes leader yawan Wan half a month ago and it seemed the time was riped that I understand now thank you Pavilion Master Yun for the invaluable Clues I hope you can assist me in finding the remaining six materials Wong tion expressed his gratitude with a bow rest assured young Master tion's Affairs are a chilin pavilion's Affairs were it not for your timely assistance our Yun family would have faced dire consequences Yun jongi replied gratitude evident in his voice finally seizing the opportunity to repay the favor after discussing the matter of the materials Wayan and Yun jongi began to draft the alliance contract an alliance requires formalities and this contract bore the weight of law breaching it would surely invoke repercussions at te that moment the enchanting yunio gracefully entered bowing to wayen and Wang ton her beautiful eyes covertly glancing at wongon after her greetings she addressed her father father I believe we should include young masteron 's name on The Alliance contract as he has been instrumental in facilitating this connection for us would that be appropriate Yun jongi was taken aback as such contracts typically required only the signatures of the two sect leaders without mention of others I concur with Lady Yun our alliance owes its Inception to Elder tion's mediation so it is only fitting to include his name Wayan readily agreed although there was no precedent for multiple signatures Wong tion consented to the inclusion very well I shall add my name as well wongon declared taking up the brush to inscribe his name upon the document upon witnessing his signature yuno's heart fluttered with uncontainable joy chapter 48 let the fox princess serve His Highness well once the alliance contract was finalized Yun jongi warmly hosted a banquet for them preparing an Exquisite Feast the atmosphere was filled with laughter and mert and after enjoying a hearty meal Yun jongi invited them to stay the night which wayen and Wong tion graciously declined wayen needed to return to shushan as the entire sect depended on him while wongon citing other matters opted not to accompany him back yuno personally escorted them to the door lingering until Wong tion's figure disappeared around the corner reluctant to part wayed chew young Master tion has already gone far Yun jongi gently reminded I know Yuni felt she had overplayed her emotions and quickly composed herself once back in her room she immediately borrowed the alliance agreement from her father locking the door behind her she cautiously unfolded the document her heart racing at the sight of Wong tion's signature the Heavenly King's handwriting is indeed elegant strikingly similar to that on the Note yuno's heart raced too confirm she retrieved the note once more meticulously comparing the two signatures aside from their stylistic similarities even The Strokes and curves were identical. it is indeed true the handwriting on this note belongs to Young Master ton yuno's cheeks flushed with excitement as her gaze fell upon the tiin maen on her table this was undoubtedly a gift from Young Master tion no wonder his sword resonated with her it must be due to his influence with her doubts resolved yuno Spirit sword feeling deeply touched by Wong tion's gestures it meant that he had not helped them merely once but had extended his assistance on multiple occasions the next time she encountered him she vowed to express her heartfelt gratitude as Knight descended Wong tion returned to the Imperial melum using the moon Fox Pearl feeling a twinge of nostalgia for the place after several days away upon his return He spotted a familiar and graceful figure waiting for him in front of the melum in the pale Moonlight that figure appeared exceptionally luminous as if she had emerged from the very light of the Moon itself her form enchanting and alluring a delicate Azure silk gown barely enveloped her graceful form exposing her Snow White shoulders and the deep ravine of her bosom to the air a mere glance enough to leave one utterly entranced the fox princess wongon removed the silver mask from his face your highness I have finally laid eyes upon you upon seeing wongon return the fox princess's Fair Visage brightened with delight as she approached him with a sensuous gate her every movement radiating charm any ordinary man would certainly find himself entranced bowing before her Allure as there's something you require Wong tion inquired instinctively does your highness not recall the matter concerning the nine-tailed fox demon wanan the fox princess responded exhaling softly like orchids I do recall has she arrived wongon eyes sparkled with interest as he had intended to enlist the demon Lan Lan's Aid to enter the moonfall valley initially his purpose for entering the valley was solely to assist the fox Immortal in Breaking the corporeal restraints that bound him allowing for his sole s rebirth however entering the Valley now presented Wong tion with an additional task to procure the blood of the Sacred Beast the nine-headed AO she is already on Route and is expected to arrive around midnight the fox princess informed him excellent I shall make my way there as midnight approaches Wong tion replied your highness will you not first relax at my Abode the hot springs I mentioned previously are there we could soak while awaiting Wan Lan's arrival the fox princess gazed at Wong tion with eager anticipation soaking in Hot Springs wongon suddenly recalled that it had been quite some time since he last bathed he indeed could benefit from a thorough wash very well let us indulge in the hot springs for a while your highness let us hurry upon hearing wongon agreement the fox princess was filled with with joy convinced that by attending to his needs she would surely render him enamored with her nodding in affirmation wongon stepped into the Moonlight alongside the fox princess as they ventured forth after their departure an elderly man with white hair hunched over and emerged from the Moonlight Shadows observing the receding figures of The Duo the old master refrained from voicing any objections instead expressing his astonishment this lad has seemingly grown stronger after just a few days away the old Master found himself increasingly intrigued by the so-called waste of a sixth Prince he was already aware of the commotion caused by wongon within the Imperial Tomb but had chosen not to intervene since Wang tion entered the black melum he realized that the sixth Prince was far from the inept individual the outside world claimed him to be his lackluster demeanor in public was likely a mere facade thus he resolved to observe how the sixth Prince would behave in solitude after more than a month of clandestine observation he noted that the sixth Prince's cultivation had not only Advanced significantly but his swordsmanship had also become remarkably proficient the old Master pondered for several nights ultimately attributing this transformation to the influence of the black mosum prior to his entry the sixth Prince was indeed a waste afterward not only had his talents intensified but his strength had also surged dramatically anyone would surmise that within the black melum the sixth Prince had encountered an opportunity as for disturbing the ancestors coffins within the melum the old Master believed it was merely a quest for cultivation resources or suitable Weaponry after being relegated to the Imperial Tomb the distribution of cultivation resources ceased and to grow stronger he could only seek The Borrowed resources from his ancestors a perfectly reasonable course of action this lad continues to surprise me perhaps once your strength grows further you might indeed assist me in completing that unfinished business a glimmer of light suddenly flickered in the old man's murky Eyes Upon reaching the Eastern Summit the fox Prince led wongon to a secluded hot spring nestled in the back mountains beneath the pristine Moonlight the water was crystal clear with warm Vapors Rising gently from its surface your highness this is our hot spring soaking here will not only dispel your fatigue but also accelerate the flow of your dragon energy the fox princess Drew closer her body emanating a captivating fragrance that invigorated the senses this hot spring is Splendid Wong tion nodded in satisfaction with the Springs promptly shedding his garments before leaping into the warm Waters as he immersed himself a wave of warmth enveloped him invigorating his blood flow and enhancing the circulation of his dragon and spiritual energies this further heightened Wong tion's appreciation for the hot springs how delightful it has been ages since I last enjoyed a bath Wong tion splashed water on his face instantly feeling rejuvenated confirming its restorative effects just as he became engrossed in his soak a sultry voice wafted from behind him your highness after more than a month in the Imperial Tomb have you not felt a sense of emptiness and Solitude allow the fox princess to attend to your needs I assure you you will be utterly satisfied the fox princess wrapped her arms around wongon from behind chapter 49 the arrival of the ninetail demon Wan Wan the warmth radiating from behind caused Wong tion to shiver slightly Fox princess I merely wish to enjoy a peaceful soak your services are unnecessary Wong tion gently PRI her arms away instinctively turning to glance at her only to be taken aback by the sight of the drenched Fox princess he had not anticipated her boldness in drawing so close what did she intend the soaked figure of the fox princess was irresistibly alluring her pale skin barely concealed evoking a sense of tantalizing Allure that surpassed even complete nudity your highness are you truly certain you do not require my assistance I promise you will find it pleasurable the fox princess cheeks flushed did not shy away but rather allowed Wong tion to gaze upon her ending form confident in her own charms although wongon was a sixth Prince he was still a man and having endured Solitude in the Imperial Tomb for over a month he was undeniably vulnerable to Temptation yet she was mistaken Wang tion seemed disinterested in her advances I am certain I do not require your assistance Wong tion stated firmly turning away while the fox princess was undeniably beautiful with an Exquisite figure and a provocative Aura Wong tion held no romantic feelings for her moreover he needed to prepare himself for the impending confrontation with the nine-tailed demon engaging with the fox princess now would only deplete his energy he needed to face the leader of the nine-tailed Clan Wan Lan in Peak condition hearing wongon s refusal the fox princess felt a twinge of disappointment despite her revealing attire he remained unimpressed I see is it because I am merely a mountain demon that you look down upon me she lamented after much contemplation this seemed the only plausible explanation Mountain demons were often scorned and despite her Newfound Beauty she remained just a mountain demon in essence as a prince how could he possibly take interest in a mere rural creature like her it is not that I disdain you for being a mountain demon rather I must conserve my energy for the battle with Lan Wan and cannot afford distractions wongon explained earnestly the ability to subdue lanan directly impacted his chances of entering the moonfall valley and he could not afford to be careless so it is the Fox princess s expression shifted from despair to Joy and she playfully remarked in truth I merely wish to give your highness a shoulder massage I had no ulterior motives best if you wait for me outside I shall soak for a while longer wongon thought it best to send the enticing little demon away for prolonged interaction could lead him to lose control very well enjoy your soak when Lan lean arrives I shall come to inform you the fox princess reluctantly departed from the hot spring her perfect enticing form illumin illuminated by the pure Moonlight with crystallin toes she delicately gathered her discarded garments from the ground and began to dress slowly and gracefully wongon dared not turn to look fearing that if he did he would be unable to tear his gaze away observing wongon s averted eyes the fox princess could not help but smile slightly for some inexplicable reason the sight of wongon bashful demeanor stirred something within her your highness I am leaving now you may turn around her voice was sweet and alluring leaving a delightful sensation in its wake understood Wong tion still did not turn instead leaning against a rock in the Hot Spring closing his eyes to relax this time the fox princess felt no disappointment instead she departed with a soft smile once the fox princess was completely out of sight Wong tion quietly exhaled in relief that little temptress was indeed beguiling he could not allow her to accompany him to the hot springs again Wong tion was genuinely concerned that one day he might lose control contr and succumb to Temptation while he soaked the leader of the nine-tailed Clan lanan had already arrived near the Eastern Mountain of the Imperial Tomb yet she chose not to ascend immediately instead she surveyed the terrain accompanied by two Elders of the ninetail clan one male and one female clan leader can we trust the words of that mountain demon the fox matriarch the moon Fox Pearl has been missing for over a thousand years why would it suddenly reappear now the male Elder questioned skeptically I to s something am Miss why did that fox matriarch only inform our nine-tailed Clan and not the other three fox demon Clans the female Elder frowned in concern regardless of its authenticity I must come the Elder yuu instructed our descendants to seek the moon Fox Pearl at all costs no matter the sacrifice Lan Lan declared her fox-like eyes gleaming with determination for the other fox demon Clans the moon Fox Pearl May merely symbolize their common Dominion yet for the nine-tailed Clan it held a secret that must remain concealed from Outsiders clan leader if this is a trap set by the mountain demon Clan what shall we do the female Elder expressed her worries considering this was foreign territory and should they fall into an ambush it would spell disaster for them though not fret this time I have borrowed the celestial demon sword from the celestial demon Alliance even that decrepit Old Hag from the mountain demon Clan cannot contend with me should they dare to deceive me with a trap I shall raise this place to the ground the enchanting yal wanan was underpinned by a flicker of malevolence in her beguiling eyes in Pursuit Of The Moon Fox Pearl she had endured considerable tribulation to procure the celestial demon sword from the celestial demon Alliance this clearly Illustrated the extent of her determination for the moon Fox Pearl you have borrowed the celestial demon sword Chief the two Elders inquired their eyes shimmering with intrigue. it is crucial to note that the celestial demon sword is a toptier weapon of the earth grade a veritable treasure for their demon Clan with this sword in her possession the decrepit matriarch of the mountain charm Clan need not be feared even if ambushed she could turn the tables with the celestial demon sword instantly the two Elders were filled with confidence indeed not only have I acquired the celestial demon sword but I have also brought forth the blood Fox our nine-tailed Clan Has nurtured it for 20 years it is time to unleash it in battle yal wanan produced a Blood Red Orb from her possession within which lay a diminutive blood red fox currently slumbering with its eyes closed yet EX suting a fierce aura that permeated the air upon citing this Blood Fox orb the two Elders instinctively recoiled their eyes reflecting a flicker of Terror only those from the nine-tailed Clan understood the extent to which this Blood Fox had consumed the life essence of countless beings including humans animals and even its own kin the malevolent energy radiating from it was suffocating let us proceed we must not keep that old hag waiting too long to I in no time yawan Lawan led the two Elders toward the Mountaintop shortly after yawan Wan's Ascent Fox Empress hurriedly returned to the hot springs Edge your highness ya Wan Wan has arrived she reported solemnly bowing at last she has come Wong tion's eyes sparkled with anticipation he had been awaiting yawan Lan's arrival for quite some time chapter 50 acknowledge me as your Sovereign at the peak of the Eastern Mountain an expansive Pavilion awaited where the fox matriarch and a multitude of mountain charm clan members were gathered as the moon reached its Zenith Yao Wan Lan adorned in a flowing Crimson gown gracefully approached her attire billowing in the night Breeze reminiscent of a blooming red rose swaying under the Moonlight her steps were light and her figure enchanting as if she were a dancer captivating the stage her long hair danced with the evening wind akin to delicate Willows swaying in the spring Breeze a mysterious smile graced her Visage an enigma to those who beheld her ya Wan Wan you have arrived come taste the fruit tea I have brewed for you the Fox matriarch said remaining seated placing a cup of freshly brewed tea upon the stone table I shall forgo the fruit tea where may I ask is the moon Fox Pearl you spoke of I did not Journey A Thousand Miles merely to sip your fruit tea ya wanan replied arching her brows offering no deference to the fox matriarch the moon Fox Pearl is not in my possession the fox matriarch replied sipping her tea casually not with you are you toying with me ya wanwan retorted angrily I am not toying with you the Moon Fox Pearl is indeed not with me the fox matriarch continued to drink her tea nonchalantly then where is it ya juanan pressed suppressing her Fury it is with me a booming voice answered on behalf of the fox matriarch upon seeing the newcomer the previously indifferent Fox matriarch hastily Rose and bowed Sovereign Sovereign yaoan Lan fured her brows perplexed as to when the mountain charm Clan had acquired a sovereign her gaze instinctively shifted towards the source of the voice revealing a man clad in silver armor and a black cloak slowly advancing followed respectfully by the fox Empress who are you is the moon Fox Pearl truly in your possession Yao Wan Wan was unconcerned with the man as status her singular Focus was the moon Fox Pearl I am ton Wong The Sovereign of the mountain charm Clan and the moon Fox Pearl is indeed in my possession Wong tion replied leisurely too conceal his identity he had resolved to present himself as tion Wanga Wong Wan having previously instructed the fox matriarch and fox Empress to keep his identity a secret do if the moon Fox Pearl is in your possession might I see it yal wanan inquired raising an eyebrow you expect me to Simply present it upon your request who do you think you are Wong tion smirked slightly what must I do to behold the moon Fox Pearl yaoan Lan clenched her delicate fist a flicker of anger igniting within her I require your two clansmen to withdraw from the mountain wongon stated casting a glance at the two clansmen behind ywan Juan these two were Peak practitioners of the third tier to ensure yal Wan Lewan's complete submission he needed to minimize her allies leaving nothing to chance Dio not overstep one of the male Elders incensed stepped forward concerned that if they retreated their Chief would be left vulnerable to an ambush this is my soulle condition whether you wish to see the moon Fox Pearl is up to you Wong tion replied cooly yaoan Lan clenched her fist once more her gaze towards Wong tion now imbued with a trace of ferocity this man had defly grasped her vulnerabilities very well I consent to your terms you may descend the mountain and wait she instructed her clansmen but Chief what will you do if we leave the female Elder voiced her concern faced with so many adversaries their Chief would be alone and the prospect of an assault was Dire fear not I possess two Trump cards even if they all attack at once I am confident in my ability to Vanquish them you must descend and wait for me yaoan Lan assured them her expression brimming with confidence upon recalling the terrifying potential of the celestial demon Sword and the blood Fox the two Elders begrudgingly agreed to withdraw very well Chief exercise caution we shall await you at the mountains base should you find yourself in Peril signal with the nine-tailed flame and we shall come to your Aid the male Elder said earnestly agreed ya wanwan nodded the two Elders reluctantly descended the mountain once the two Elders had departed yaan Lan turned her attention back to Wong tandam why clansmen have retreated may I now the moon Fox Pearl she inquired coldly certainly wongon nodded retrieving the moon Fox Pearl from his system space as the pink moon Fox Pearl materialized it radiated a captivating Brilliance akin to a resplendent gem casting an enchanting glow its Hues resembled the vibrant Twilight Illuminating The Dark Knight with stunning vibrancy the entire Eastern Mountain was suffused with a Rosy Hue transforming it into a breathtaking canvas that immersed onlookers in an atmosphere of gentleness and Allure yaoan Lan felt the Transcendent energy emanating from the Moon Fox Pearl her body quivering with excitement it truly is the moon Fox Pearl I have finally found it yawan Juan exclaimed her beautiful eyes glimmering with fervent anticipation you have seen the moon Fox Pearl is it not time for you to acknowledge me as your Sovereign Wong tion's gaze bore into her intensely acknowledge you as my sovereign what a ludicrous notion yaoan Lan's brows knitted together as if she had heard the grandest of yes indeed did not your fox demon Clan Proclaim that whoever possesses the moon Fox Pearl shall become The Sovereign of the five fox demon Clans now that the moon Fox Pearl is in my possession should you not acknowledge me as your Sovereign Wong tion stated matter of factly acknowledge you as my sovereign Preposterous you lack the qualifications to be my sovereign hand over the moon Fox Pearl yawan Wan declared unleashing her fox demon power and lunging towards wangon with blinding speed chapter 51 gratitude to wanan for the great sword Yao wanan transformed into a streak of pink meteor charging at Wong tion with astonishing velocity surrounding her form was a radiant pink glow akin to a magnificent ribbon dancing through the air the meteor Streed across the night sky accompanied by a deafening Roar reminiscent of the universe's Fury yet before she could close the distance the fox matriarch leaped forward interposing herself between yaan Lan and Wong tion ya wanan how dare you act so bra raisly towards the Sovereign do not blame me for being ungracious the fox matriarch tightened her grip on her staff and swung it forcefully at Ya wanan the fox matriarch staff was no ordinary can it was a sacred Vine staff crafted from sacred Vines and imbued with fox demon energy over 49 years thus rivaling Earth grade Weaponry the sacred Vine staff imbued with formidable power hurdled towards the rapidly approaching yanan like a comet striking the Earth however instead of retreating yaoan lwan Advanced producing a dark green long sword in her hand and striking fiercely at the sacred Vine staff The Sword and staff collided in an instant unleashing a wave of dark green sword energy that sliced through the night sky towards the heavens meanwhile the sacred Vine staff suffered a crack its fox demon energy easily Shattered by the dark green sword energy how is this possible my sacred Vine staff cannot withstand her sword the fox matriarch was taken aback while the fox Empress who had been standing behind Wong ton was equally astonished. it is worth noting that the sacred Vine staff was a weapon comparable to low-grade Earth level the strongest weapon of the mountain charm Clan yet it faltered against yaoan lwan sword in a single exchange what manner of Sword is that the fox matriarch steadied herself gazing in disbelief at the sword wielded by Yao Wan Wan the celestial demon sword a top tier Earth grade weapon while your sacred Vine staff is merely low grade how could it possibly withstand my Celestial demon sword Yao Wan w proclaimed wielding the celestial demon sword with an air of invincibility though she and the fox matriarch were evenly matched at the peak of the second tier the addition of the celestial demon sword greatly Amplified her combat prowess far surpassing that of the fox matriarch the celestial demon sword you have humiliated yourself before the celestial demon Alliance the fox matriarch shouted in Fury the celestial demon Alliance is a coalition formed by beasts that have attained sence akin to the sex of humanity however it remains unrecognized by the world and frequently faces the Relentless pursuit of human cultivators thus the celestial demon Alliance has perpetually concealed itself in the shadows quietly developing its strength what is wrong with bowing down to the celestial demon Alliance as long as it aids me in seizing the moon Fox Pearl this minor sacrifice is well worth it Yao wanwan's gaze was fierce in her quest for the moon Fox Pearl she was willing to risk everything how dare you traitor of the fox demon Clan scolded the ancient Fox matriarch furiously the five clans of fox demons have always maintained their independence and never bowed to the celestial demon Alliance the defection of the nine-tailed Clan to the alliance was tantamount to betrayal inciting the ancient matriarchs wrath and what of being a traitor if I can reclaim the moon Fox Pearl then all of this is worthwhile die old hag ya wanwan growled gripping the celestial demon sword and launching another ferocious assault on the ancient matriarch the ancient matriarch fully alert prepared prepared to face the onslaught although she knew she might not overpower yal wanan wielding the celestial demon sword she was resolved to fight to the death however a single command sword come completely altered the battlefields Dynamics as the command echoed the celestial demon sword in ya wanwan's grasp began to tremble violently as if attempting to fly from her hand leaving her utterly astonished what is happening why is my Celestial demon sword slipping from my control yal wanwan summon her fox demon power striving to regain control over the sword but its Force only intensified slipping further from her grasp why is this happening it seems as though some energy has taken control of the celestial demon sword ya wanwan was utterly perplexed how had the sword suddenly become uncontrollable whoosh with a sound like the breaking of air the celestial demon sword flew from her hand darting at an incredible speed towards Wong tion's head the scene rendered everyone present speechless how could the cel sh demon sword possibly be above him Yao Wan Wan wore an expression of disbelief the ancient matriarch and the fox princess shared similar looks of shock why had the celestial demon sword suddenly flown to the prince's side was it intimidated by his overwhelming Aura the fox princess was so astonished that her legs trembled her mind racing with chaotic speculations the ancient matriarch possessing greater Insight instantly deduced that the celestial demon sword was under Wong tion's control Yao Wan Wan your Celestial demon sword is impressive it shall henceforth belong to me I thank you for delivering such a formidable weapon Wong tion said a subtle smile gracing his lips he had never anticipated that Yao wanwan would present him with a sword rivaling the holy sword in power thus enriching his personal Armory upon hearing this Yao wanwan's teeth clenched in Rage nearly spitting blood how could you control my Celestial demon sword she demanded fists tight with indignation she had paid a significant price to borrow this Superior grade Celestial demon sword from the alliance intending to use it against the ancient matriarch yet in an instant it had been effortlessly taken by Wong tion igniting her Fury this sword is more Discerning than you upon seeing the moon Fox Pearl it bowed before me while you still dare to oppose me Wong tion remarked a faint smile playing on his lips withholding the truth from her DOA although I am uncertain how you managed to control my Celestial demon sword do you think this is my only trump card Yao lanwan laughed grimly and produced a Blood Red Orb from her possession tonight I shall ensure that every soul present perishes with malevolence etched on her face Yao Wan Wan forcefully hurled the blood Fox orb to the ground chapter 52 the ferocity of the blood Fox with the celestial demon sword taken Yao wanan found herself cornered she cast The Blood Fox orb vehemently to the ground and as it struck a crimson light illuminated The Dark Knight summoning a massive blood red fox before the gathered crowd this Blood Fox stood 2 m tall and stretched 3 m in length its fur of vivid Crimson that shimmered under the pure Moonlight seemingly Ablaze with boundless Fury a malevolent Aura radiated from its form dense enough to be palpable inducing a sense of Suffocation its gaze was cold and merciless akin to two sharp blades to be targeted by its stare was enough to instill dread the onlookers were taken aback by the sight of this colossal blood Fox what breed of fox is this does the fox demon Clan possess such a creature the fox princess questioned her expression grave as this was her first encounter with a blood red fox and its overwhelming malevolence sent shivers down her spine this is a blood Fox nurtured through the prolonged sacrifice of living beings the ancient matriarch explained Gravely the malevolence emanating from this Blood Fox is so concentrated that it could only have been developed over two decades having consumed countless lives moreover this breed is inherently vicious devoid of intelligence and entirely driven by the instinct to kill and devour upon hearing this wongon furrowed his brow astonished that such a beast existed within the nine-tailed Clan ya wanwan witnessing the fear her blood Fox instilled in the crowd felt a surge of satisfaction I told you tonight everyone here must die with a Sinister grin she commanded the blood Fox blood Fox annihilate them all as Yao wanwan's order fell the blood Fox with its paws firmly planted leaped toward Wong tion like a bolt of red lightning imbued with a fierce momentum and a Resolute intent to kill aiming directly for his throat the ancient matriarch and the fox princess instinctively shielded wongon let me test the blood Fox's might the fox princess eyes Ablaze with determination unshed her sword her fox demon power radiating brightly the ancient matriarch gripped Her Sacred staff equally unleashing her fox demon energy facing their obstruction the blood Fox's malevolent Aura surged dramatically as it bared its fangs and lunged at them the fox princess did not falter thrusting her sword at the blood Fox a pink sword Aura sliced through the air like a shimmering Galactic ribbon the ancient matriarch's sacred staff followed suit crashing down with a force reminiscent of Thunder as though attempting to shatter the night the two colossal energies collided with the blood Fox leaving merely shallow wounds before the Beast swatted them aside with a single paw the fox princess and ancient matriarch were sent sprawling rolling a considerable before coming to a halt witnessing the blood Fox's ferocity exceed her expectations Yao wanan felt reassured excellent you have not been in vain for 20 years go forth and tear this place to shreds her gaze grew increasingly frenzied after dispatching the fox princess and ancient matriarch the blood Fox turned its vicious gaze upon Wong tion with a ferocious howl it lunged towards him moving with such speed that it was nearly indistinguishable Wong tion Nimble leaped backward evading the blood Fox's attack while simultaneously swinging the juen sword at it the sword energy transformed into a bolt of lightning aimed directly at the blood Fox the creature showed no intent to dodge taking the strike head on sustaining only minor injuries act the fox in pain became even more frenzied after a furious Roar it lunged at wangon once more this time with increased velocity and a more intense malevolence Wong tion found himself forced into a continual Retreat unable to count attack what incredible speed this Blood Fox's strength Rivals that of a halfstep first grade Master Wong tion thought realizing the dire situation if he continued to evade defeat was inevitable sword come Wong tion shouted releasing nine swords from the system space along with the ching xien and Hong Yuan holy swords while also commanding the newly acquired Celestial demon sword to join the fry against the blood Fox the simultaneous assault of 12 swords finally managed to Stave off the blood Fox's Relentless attack a in a fit of rage the blood Fox swiped at the incoming Flying Swords its Furious Onslaught swiftly sending nine of them hurtling away however the Ching xien Hong Yuan and Celestial demon sword proved more resilient against its might seizing the opportunity while the blood Fox was occupied with the three holy swords wongon Advanced unleashing the nine Dragon Palm instantly nine streams of golden dragon energy coales into a Colossal dragon roaring toward the blood Fox with the force of a volcanic eruption as though intent on reducing the entire world to ashes sensing the overwhelming power the blood fox's fur bristled its eyes narrowing with ferocity it expelled a surge of blood red malevolence countering Wong tion's Nine Dragons entirely this astonished Wong tanum why nine Dragon Palm was completely thwarted yet the encounter was not over while the blood Fox had deflected the nine Dragon Palm it also sent the Three Holy swords flying away with unrelenting Force showcasing its formidable combat prowess Yao wanwan witnessing this spectacle was overjoyed excellent kill him no one shall take the moon Fox Pearl for me Madness and Malice filled her eyes realizing that conventional tactics could not harm the blood Fox Wong tion retreated a few steps and prepared to unleash his ultimate technique all swords returned to the source Wong tion exclaimed summoning all the previously deflected swords back to hover above his head including the one wielded by the fox princess and those held by the members of the Sha tribe in an instant over a 100 swords gathered above him including the juian sword the immense Aura of the sword formation startled ywan Wan this the aura of this sword formation is incredibly powerful concern washed over her she wondered if the blood Fox could withand such a formidable array meanwhile the fox princess and ancient matriarch witnessing Wong tion's display of such overwhelming power felt a surge of Hope and admiration for him Beast die Wong tion directed The miror myad swords of the 10,000 swords returned to origin towards the blood Fox which instantly transformed into a cascading River of blades akin to the Milky Way cascading from the heavens descending with inexorable might intent on strangling the blood Fox where the sword River passed the void seemed on the verge of being torn asunder the blood Fox sensing the imminent threat of the sword array had its fur bristle each strand standing on end like hardened needles its eyes turning a deep Crimson as if on the verge of bleeding it threw back its head and let out a piercing Roar that reverberated through the heavens and the Earth followed by a massive orb of sinister Red Energy erupting from its maw this orb of malevolence was several times more formidable than before transforming into a gigantic blood red Fireball that hurdled toward the 10,000 swords returned to origin chapter 53 the Invincible power of the fox Immortal the two immense energies collided in the air unleashing a tremendous wave of energy with countless sword auras and Mal energies spilling forth after the explosion of energy aside from the juen sword which remained proudly Aloft all other swords including Three Holy swords fell to the ground the blood Fox however maintained its Regal demeanor showing no signs of having been harmed by the 10,000 swords return to origin how formidable the blood Fox is to have withstood even the 10,000 swords return to origin Wong tion's expression shifted slightly the combat prowess of this Blood Fox Far exceeded his expectations Fox empress and Granny Fox witnessing wongon s Fierce sword array fail to inflict damage upon the blood FOX also appeared taken a back this Blood Fox is exceedingly powerful how many beings did yaan lwan feed it to cultivate such a fierce Beast a flicker of hatred passed through granny Fox's eyes as Fox demons They too had their limits using living beings as blood sacrifices to nourish a Savage Beast was something Granny Fox could not accept seeing Wong tion's strongest strike repelled by the blood Fox ya wanan erupted into laughter what other tricks do you have use them all after tonight you will all become food for the blood Fox devoured bite by bite faced with yaoan Lan's frenzy provocation Granny Fox and fox Empress felt a surge of anger yet were helpless as the blood Fox was simply too powerful for them to contend with is that so Wong tion replied with calm composure revealing once more the moon Fox Pearl that emanated a pinkish red glow upon seeing Wong tion produced the moon Fox Pearl again Juan Lan's eyes glinted with greed what is this have you come to your senses at death's door do you intend to give me the moon Fox Pearl alas it is too late I will slay you and the moon Fox Pearl shall be mine ya Wan lwan mistakenly believed wangon was surrendering however she was gravely mistaken Wong tion had no intention of capitulating I am sorry but I have never entertained the notion of relinquishing the moon Fox Pearl to you rather I wish to demonstrate the true power of this Moon Fox Pearl a slight smirk graced Wong tion's lips as he began to chant the incantation taught to him by the fox Immortal as the incantation flowed from his lips a resonance formed between Wong tion and the moon Fox Pearl and he radiated with the pinkish Hue of the fox Immortals power I in an instant Wong tion felt himself brimming with energy casting his gaze upon the blood Fox he discovered it was not as fearsome as previously thought yet upon witnessing the fox Immortal power enveloping Wang tion yaoan Lan's expression shift did dramatically you can actually harness the power of the fox Immortal from the Moon Fox Pearl for the first time Yao Wan Wan felt fear this was the power of celestial beings and although it was borrowed it's might far surpass that of a mere first tier realm did you not foresee this I shall first slay this Blood Fox and then deal with you Wong tion smirked slightly before charging toward the blood Fox sword in hand the blood Fox enraged that this diminutive human dared challenge it roared ferociously and lunged at Wong like a sharpened blade its malevolent energy surging as they closed in the blood Fox swiped a paw at Wong tion who did not retreat but instead swung his sword at the blood Fox's paw with a squelching sound a fountain of crimson blood erupted beneath the Moonlight and the blood Fox's paw flew through the air tracing a parabolic Ark before crashing to the ground the blood Fox having missed its Target fell heavily to the Earth howling in agony from the loss of its paw success the prince has severed one of its paws Fox Empress rejoiced upon witnessing this while Granny Fox let out a sigh of relief the power of the fox Immortal was indeed formidable even such a fierce blood Fox could not withstand a single strike Granny Fox silently rejoiced in her decision to submit to Wong tion otherwise she might have met her demise long ago not far away ya wanan witnessing her pains takingly nurtured blood Fox of 20 years being disarmed by Wong tion sword wor an expression of disbelief Le how is this possible I nurtured the blood Fox for 20 years and it could not withstand a single strike from him yaan lwan trembled slightly unable to accept the scene before her yet Wong tion did not relent he seized the opportunity to strike Wong tion lunged again at the blood Fox and upon seeing this yaoan Lan finally regained her senses clenching her fists as she attempted to Ambush Wang tion from behind she knew she could not allow wongon to succeed otherwise if the blood Fox perished she too would meet her end here however a gray figure stood in her path ya wanan your opponent is me Granny Fox declared coldly and me as well Fox Empress added standing firm granny Fox's strength was on par with Yao wanwan with Fox Empress joining her Yao Wan Lan was undoubtedly doomed very well today I shall ensure that we all perish together yaoan Lan growled fiercely her fists clenched as she charged forward as the three engaged in battle wongon approached the blood Fox once more though it had lost a paw the malevolent energy surrounding it intensified upon contact with blood coaling into a massive Blood Red Orb of malevolence even more potent than before once the Blood Red Orb had accumulated its maximum energy it surged toward wongon with great force a te that critical moment wongon steadied his mind merging with the juen sword and swung fiercely the union of man and sword combined with the fox Immortals power rendered this strike as mighty as a Celestial being descending from the heavens wielding a force akin to thunder seemingly cleaving chaos severing the balance of I and yangong causing the Heavens to change Hue and all living beings to tremble its Brilliance Shone as brightly as the sun its speed rivaled that of lightning and its strength was as Monumental as Mount tide Boom the two colossal energies collided this time the fox Immortals malevolent orb could not withstand Wong tion's assault the malevolent orb was instantaneously shattered and Wong tion surged through piercing his sword into the blood Fox's abdomen I in its death throws the blood Fox opened ITS m wide lunging for Wong tion's neck wongon leapt back effortlessly evading the blood Fox's bite following this he Unleashed another nine Dragon Palm with nine streams of golden dragon energy infused with the fox Immortals power significantly amplifying its might the blood Fox already on the brink of death could no longer withstand the force of the strike it was sent flying several meters away crashing heavily against the mountain side causing stones to Tumble down having sustained two severe injuries the blood Fox could no longer endure it collapsed to the ground blood pooling beneath it and within moments it breathed its last it has finally perished Wong tion let out a quiet sigh of relief then withdrew the fox Immortals power that enveloped him this power consumed energy although immensely potent excessive use could lead to depletion in that brief battle Wong t had expended onethird of the fox Immortals power contained within the moon Fox Pearl had the blood Fox persisted any longer he might have been unable to Vanquish the Beast henceforth he needed to conserve its use such unfettered expenditure could deplete it entirely in the span of a single incense stick after collecting his thoughts Wong tion shifted his gaze away from the blood Fox's corpse such a powerful blood Fox surely promised substantial rewards yet his immediate concern was Yao Juan Juan chapter 54 subduing yaoan Wan Under The Joint assault of Granny Fox and fox Empress yaoan Lan could only defend passively soon accumulating numerous wounds if this continued her defeat was inevitable. as she witnessed the blood Fox's demise at Wong tion's hands she understood that her Ambitions to seize the moon Fox Pearl were feudal and began to prepare for a hasty Retreat however Granny Fox had long since dispatched others to encircle the East Mountain leaving yal wanwan without an Avenue of Escape it was a classic case of closing the gate to catch the the wolf after yet another bout of being repelled by them ya wanan heavily injured and gasping for breath retorted indignantly Granny Fox Fox Empress how dare you Ally with humans to harm our kin do you believe I won't summon the other three fox demon Clans to deal with you what do you mean by aying with humans to harm our kin the master possesses the moon Fox Pearl thus serving as The Sovereign of our five fox demon Clans we are merely adhering to ancestral decrees and recognizing him as our leader this has nothing to do with humans Fox Empress replied robustly indeed ya wanan you now face two choices first willingly acknowledge this esteemed young Master as your leader second next year on this day shall Mark your demise Granny Fox interjected prior to this Wong tion had specifically instructed them to keep his identity a secret presenting himself as the esteemed young Master don't have me recognize him as my leader Dream On yaoan LAN exclaimed her face a mask of unwillingness there was no way she would submit to a mere human eye in defiance she produced a gray black jade orb from her person and seizing the moment while they were distracted hurled it forcefully to the ground upon impact the Jade orb erupted in a dense cloud of gray black smoke almost instantly enveloping the East Mountain obscuring everyone's Vision seizing this opportunity yaoan Lawan attempted to flee down the mountain but she had scarcely taken a few steps when a flying sword from a distance struck her shoulder ah Yao wanan screamed in agony collapsing heavily to the ground Crimson blood seeping from her wound already battered by the combined efforts of Granny Fox and fox Empress her situation had worsened she could no longer rise and was left in despair sprawled upon the Earth as the gray black smoke gradually dissipated Granny Fox and fox Empress accompanied by Wong tion pursued her this encounter has been meticulously orchestrated for your sake how could I possibly allow you to escape a faint smile graced the corners of Wong tion's lips as he finally managed to grab as the Elusive yal wanan and now it was time to compel her submission you may kill me but I will never yield to you declared yanan despite her Grievous injuries her spirit unyielding I asked that so wongon replied the corners of his mouth twitching slightly before instructing Fox granny and the others drag her into the cave I intend to tame her alone yes my Lord Fox granny responded promptly swiftly hauling the injured yal wanwan from the ground and dragging her toward the cave like a lifeless swine weakened and devoid of strength ya wanwan could not muster the energy to resist submitting to the humiliation of being dragged into the cave once inside Fox granny and the others retreated leaving only Wong tion and ya wanwan in one another's company you may have brought me into this cave but I still will not yield spare your efforts yal wanwan proclaimed her posture resembling a dog yet her gaze remained Resolute your demise matters not however your nine-tailed Clan may find themselves accompanying you to the Grave Wong tion replied cooly what do you mean by that do you intend to annihilate our ninetail clan single-handedly ya wanwan's expression shifted as being the leader of the ninetail clan she held her kin in high regard to obliterate your clan there is no need for my direct involvement wongon remarked with a slight smile directed at Ya Wan Wan under Wong tion's unwavering gaze ya wanwan felt a Tremor within her his smile unnerved her yet she held her ground refusing to show weakness your threats are feudal our nine-tailed Clan boasts a population of 50,000 too extinguish us is simply impossible Doo you comprehend why I can harness the power of the fox Immortal within the moon Fox orb Wong tion evaded her question retrieving the moon Fox orb from his spatial system this Revelation caused y wanwan to shudder slightly as if a realization dawned upon her what are you implying her tone softened the reason the moon Fox orb contains the power of the fox Immortal is that the first generation Fox Immortal infused all his energy into it before his demise a fate orchestrated by your ancestor yau furthermore this treacherous woman sealed the first generation Fox Immortals corporeal form wong tion's voice grew progressively colder then took on a threatening tone consider this if I were to divulge this information to the other four clans of fox Spirits do you think they would refrain from uniting against your nine-tailed Clan moreover Your Allegiance to the celestial demon league is intolerable to the other Fox Clans nonsense our ancestor yau had no intention of harming the fox Immortal that is ya wanwan began her voice rising in agitation before abruptly faltering fear gripping her heart if this information were to be exposed the four Fox Clans might indeed band together to retaliate against them after all the first generation Fox Immortal held significant esteem among the fox Spirits particularly The tenan Who Clan who regarded him as their ancestor if they were to learn of the tragic fate that befell their forbear they would surely mobilize their entire Clan to assault the nine-tailed Clan noticing yal wanwan's hesitance wongon sense there was more to this tragic tale than met the eye why do you hesitate to continue is there a hidden truth here wongon inquired probing if you venture to the moonfall valley and behold the tombs of the fox Immortal and ancestor yau you shall uncover the truth yawan Wan replied wearily moonfall Valley isn't that a forbidden ground for your Fox Clan am I permitted entry Wong tion pressed further the of it being forbidden was a precaution we the nine-tailed Clan spread to safeguard what lies within while also guarding against the Black Fox Clan intrusion ya wangwan reluctantly confessed the truth I see Wang tion exclaimed Enlightenment Dawning upon Him moreover it appeared that the matter was intertwined with the black fox Clan as well should you Pledge Your Allegiance to me and recognize me as your lord I can not only spare your life but also assist your nine-tailed clan in clarifying this matter what reason do I have to trust you y wangwan cast a skeptical gaze upon Wang tion this secret had long been a source of Anguish for the nine-tailed Clan if left unresolved they could face imminent threats from the other clans at any moment this alone suffices Wong tion declared presenting the moon Fox orb before yawan Wan gazing upon the orb up close and feeling the potent energy of the fox Immortal emanating from it Yao wanwan's perspective shifted once more very well I am willing to acknowledge you as my Lord Yao wanwan had no choice but to acquest go refu would be feudal she feared not for her life yet the fate of the entire nine-tailed Clan weighed heavily on her and after bearing the burden of her ancestor yau sins from Millennia it was time for the truth to be revealed her desire for the moon Fox orb stemmed not only from a wish to become The Sovereign of fox spirits but also to unravel the events of that fateful day since you are willing to recognize me as your lord you must Surrender Your Life Essence to me Wang tion stated determined to ensure his control over her you wish for my life Essence Yao Lan's expression faltered unwilling to relinquish such a vital part of herself knowing it would Place her very existence in anothers hands you fear not death yet you fear this Wong tion's gaze pierced through her very well I consent after a moment of contemplation ya wanwan resignedly surrendered her life Essence with the acquisition of ya wanwan's life Essence wangon finally settled one matter leaving only the venture to moonfall Valley ahead chapter 55 the mean ISM Emperor before setting off to moonfall Valley Wong tion inquired in detail about the environment within aside from the poisonous miasma it was also home to the sacred Beast the nine-headed AO making it evident that his current strength was insufficient for the task at hand he would need to seek additional cultivation resources from his ancestors and return to moonfall Valley once he had strengthened himself Upon returning to the Royal tombs wongon resolved to visit his ancestors once more with his current sixth grade strength he was now able to approach the Tomb of the blue ranked sovereign the term blue ranked Sovereign refers to a ruler who achieved certain accomplishments during their reign yet fell short of the status of a holy Sovereign such sovereigns possess strength and Charisma often lacking only a stroke of Fortune s wongon traversed the Royal tombs his gaze darted about the higher the rank of the Tomb the stronger the Guardians and a moment's carelessness could lead to his demise which ancestor should he seek Wong tion counted the blue Sovereign tombs realizing there were 18 in total each appearing formidable and unwelcoming I shall seek out the mechanism Emperor wongi he suddenly recalled the mechanism Emperor wongi was the father of the spirit treasure Emperor Wong ha a.it was likely that in his later years the spirit treasure Emperor's ambition to create mechanical puppets to replicate the cold concubine was influenced by his father wongi known as the mechanism Emperor possessed considerable martial Talent yet faced numerous internal and external challenges the inner Court was dominated by a powerful unic while the the court was plagued by a chancellor who distorted the truth for the South the nanua people rebelled and invaded aan his youth he found himself utterly alone ultimately he chose to practice mechanism Arts believing that only mechanical puppets would be unwaveringly loyal to him thus he stealthily took Lou ban as his master bestowing upon him the title of Imperial Master through innate talent and diligent effort the mechanism Emperor quickly grasped the true essence of mechanism arts and in a short span forged an army of mechanical puppets a that time cultivators generally looked down upon mechanical puppets viewing them as incapable of advancement weak in combat and often prone to malfunction mid battle due to insufficient energy however after luan's enhancements mechanical puppets underwent a transformative Evolution even capable of producing first grade mechanical puppets in the Battle of zuk Palace the mechanism Emperor utilized his army of mechanical puppets to decisively eliminate the influence of the powerful unic and Chancellor thereby gaining truth control over the court following this he invested vast resources to forge an even more formidable army of mechanical puppets successfully incorporating the vast territory of nanua into his domain from that moment on no cultivator dared to underestimate mechanical puppets and Lou ban Rose to prominence as a formidable power of His time with the comprehensive strength of tingi Pavilion ranking among the top five sections this demonstrates the significant support the mechanism Emperor provided to tenji Pavilion for these accomplishments the mechanism Emperor was revered as a blue ranked Sovereign in later generations thus Wong tion resolved to visit this ancient master of mechanisms certain he would glean substantial resources and perhaps even uncover the secrets of advanced mechanism Arts after making this decision Wong tion hastened toward the Tomb of the mechanism Emperor accompanied by his loyal companion sha new currently sha new's combat prowess rival that of a third grade expert however her limitation was evident once her energy was depleted her fighting capacity would plummet sh Wang tion discover a solution within the mechanism Emperor's tomb Shia new's combat abilities would see a significant enhancement Wong tion soon arrived before the Tomb of the mechanism Emperor the grand structure resembled a military encampment an undercurrent of murderous intent emanating from within what a palpable atmosphere of hostility could there be a legion of Puppets guarding this place wongon swallowed hard sensing that entering this tomb would be fraught with Peril yet having made his choice retreat was not an option especially since other blue tombs were equally daunting after steadying his breath wongon stepped forward toward the tomb the exterior was protected by a dragon energy barrier but Wong tion effortlessly activated his sixth grade dragon energy allowing him to pass through smoothly unfortunately sha new could not enter although she utilized Dragon stones for energy they were not pure dragon energy thus barring her from crossing the barrier master I cannot enter shunu expressed her concern just wait for me outside wongon replied designed to face the challenges alone upon entering the outer Courtyard Wong tion felt an intensified Aura of solemnity as if he had stepped into a military encampment after a brief moment of self- adjustment he continued deeper into the premises after traversing a lengthy Corridor and ascending a set of stairs he finally arrived before the grand entrance of the melum the instant Wong tion pushed open the door he was utterly taken aback by the scene that unfolded before him meanwhile within the Hall of lho Mountain the sect leader mu shanan listened intently his expression grave as jelang relayed the news he had gathered from shushan sect leader my inquiries have confirmed that shushan has indeed allied with chilin pavilion jelang paused before continuing moreover during my visit I Unearthed another significant piece of information I was already aware of the alliance the sect leader of shushan personally came to chilin Pavilion to sign the agreement and even sent out a proclamation to the entire Marshall World musuan expressed his dissatisfaction with this news recognizing the implications of such an alliance which would hinder their ability to contend with chilin pavilion what is this important piece of news musuan inquired casually it appears that shushan has produced a swordsmanship prodigy who has breached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion jelang reported cautiously what a genius from shushan has reached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion is this information reliable musuan was taken aback for it was known that xuan's most formidable disciple lienin had only managed to conquer the 17th level the emergence of someone who surpassed him indicated the arrival of a disciple even stronger than lienin this news was ill- fated for any sect beside him the one-armed Jong Bal listened in astonishment it is certain the sound of the Copper Bell from the 18th level of the sword Pavilion has been heard by all of shushan disciples gelong replied the ringing of the Copper Bell from the 18th level cannot be mistaken how enviable it is that shushan has produced such a talented individual musuan clenched his fists tightly his eyes blazs with jealousy jelang do you know the identity of this Prodigy the Elder Jang ba could not restrain himself from asking I do not know the higher-ups of shushan are keeping this genius's identity very secret were it not for the bell ringing in the sword Pavilion xuan's disciples would remain oblivious jalong shook his head we must ascertain the identity of this genius from shushan a glimmer of shrewdness flashed in musan yuan's eyes yes sect leader Jang ba and jelang responded in unison after a moment Elder B spoke again SE leader I have another matter to report regarding chilin Pavilion though I am uncertain whether to disclose it speak musuan replied in a low tone the leader of Chillin Pavilion Yun jongi has a daughter named yunio who possesses a Celestial grade treasured zither before Jang ba could finish musan Yuan interrupted him why did you not mention this sooner a Celestial great artifact is Coveted even by the most elite experts are you certain it is Celestial grade musuan demanded forcefully Jang B had initially hesit ated to inform musuan knowing that even if they obtained the zither it would not belong to him however seeking Vengeance for his lost arm compelled him to rely on musuan prompting him to reveal the existence of the celestial great zither I am certain I have personally experienced the power of this sither and it is undoubtedly a Celestial gr treasure Jang ba affirmed Gravely and jalang echoed his sentiment indeed I have also witnessed its capabilities it is truly extraordinary and formidable if it is indeed a Celestial grade zither acquiring it may prove challenging especially now that shushan and chilin Pavilion are Allied attempting to seize it from Yun Jong s daughter would be fraught with difficulty yanan was no fool had the alliance not been formed he would have mobilized the full strength of his sect to seize it however with the current alliance any attempt to do so could incite shushan zire leading lho Mountain to suffer a loss sect leader I have considered this matter as well recently I have bribed a deputy hallm of chilin Pavilion who informed me that the entire Chillin Pavilion is currently searching for nine specific items coincidentally our lungo Mountain possesses one of them perhaps we could use this to lure yunio out and covertly seize her treasured zither Jang ba suggested producing a note from his possession to present to musuan fully committed to avenging his grievances chapter 56 breaching the mechanism puppet array as wongon pushed open the grand door of the melum he was met with a hall filled with mechanism puppets arranged in rows like terracotta warriors exuding a palpable Aura of Menace gulping nervously Wong tion felt the weight of the atmosphere this was the first time he had experienced such tension with the number of mechanism puppets easily numbering in the thousands he pondered whether entering would trigger a trap unsure of whether to proceed he hesitated knowing that should he trigger the mechanisms he would be overwhelmed having come this far retreating now felt cowardly Wong tion took a deep breath and stepped forward forward resolved to explore further once inside the melum the mechanism puppets made no attempt to attack him remaining steadfast in their positions Wong tion silently exhaled in relief taking in his surroundings he soon spotted Emperor Wong Chi's coffin at the farthest end of the hall but reaching it would require passing through the Sea of mechanism puppets with no alternative Wong tion stealed himself and ventured deeper however just as he crossed into the territory of the puppets the two closest ones suddenly turned to face him this unexpected turn of events startled wangon what these mechanism puppets can move his heart raced and he instinctively summoned the juian sword preparing for the worst remaining motionless for a while he observed that the two puppets did not Advance tentatively he took a cautious step forward but they continued to stand still their gaze fixed upon Him sending chills down his spine the atmosphere was undeniably Eerie after steadying his breath wongon summoned his courage and took two bold steps further this time the two mechanism puppets sprang into action raising their great swords to strike at him fortunately Wong tion had been Vigilant the moment they lifted their swords he gripped his juian sword and cleaved downward a flash of golden sword energy sliced through the air instantly bisecting one of the puppets while the second swung its sword which Wong tion deafly evaded before retaliating with another strike cleaving it in half as well in less than three breath Cycles Wong tion effortlessly dispatched both mechanism puppets so they can indeed be triggered he mused furrowing his brow as a sense of gravity settled over him with so many mechanism puppets present if all were to activate he would be hardpressed to cope especially since these two were among the weakest the further he ventured inward the stronger they would undoubtedly become could he circumvent them Wong tion glanced around hopelessly only to discover that the puppets were scattered throughout the hall even lining the walls there was no way to bypass them was he left with with no choice but to charge through frustrated he realized that attempting to force his way in would likely lead to disaster just as he struggled with this dilemma his peripheral vision caught sight of the defeated mechanism puppets point one of them had a dragon Stone the size of a ping-pong ball rolling out from its head Dragon Stone a sudden idea struck him he could clear them out one by one simultaneously extracting the dragon stones to use for his own cultivation and any excess could be given to shiau Wong tion felt a surge of Brilliance at the thought thought with that he bent down and retrieved the dragon stones from the two Fallen puppets these Dragon Stones were significantly smaller and weaker than the ones he had obtained from the spirit treasure Emperor indicating they had been previously expended nevertheless even in their diminished State they would still provide him with a substantial amount of dragon energy he decided to retreat first after absorbing the energy from these two dragon Stones he would then trigger the other mechanism puppets gradually clearing his path with his plan in place wongon withdrew from the melum ensuring safety by sealing the grand door behind him and summoning 13 swords to guard his surroundings ready to defend against any puppets that might emerge once he had completed these preparations Wong tion settled into a meditative position and began to absorb the dragon energy contained within the two dragon Stones as the two wisps of elusive dragon energy entered his body the dragon energy within him began to Surge its flow accelerating dramatically following the cultivation method of the dragon energy technique he circulated the dragon energy around his body before gradually channeling it into the dragon egg located in his Danon the dragon egg trembled slightly upon receiving the dragon energy gradually expanding at an imperceptible rate a an hour later Wong tion successfully absorbed the two dragon Stones elevating his strength from the early stage of the sixth rank to the midstage the cultivation effects of the Dragon Stones were quite impressive it seemed the dragon egg and his Danton reveled in the purity of this energy satisfied wongon Rose to to his feet these Dragon Stones forged from Spirit Stones infused with dragon energy were a veritable Boon for someone like him who cultivated dragon energy seeing that no mechanism puppets had emerged Wang tion pushed open the door once more to return to the hall armed with his new found experience he ventured several steps deeper enticing two more mechanism puppets before swiftly dispatching them and extracting their dragon Stones before retreating once again with two more Dragon Stones secured Wong tion felt a sense of Joy it seemed he had come not merely to face trials but to procure Dragon Stones settling down once more he continued to absorb the dragon energy from these two new dragon Stones as the dragon energy surged once more into his body Wong tion's pace of cultivation quickened significantly ultimately converging into the dragon egg nestled within his Danon which subtly expanded in size consequently wongon experienced a slight enhancement in his strength having savored the sweetness of his progress he re-entered the grand hall triggering eight mechanical puppets once again he effortlessly severed their heads the acquisition of eight Dragon Stones allowed wongon to elevate his prowess from the midstage of the sixth tier to its latter stage Splendid he was now firmly in the latter stage of the sixth tier with the absorption of just 20 more Dragon Stones he could achieve the Pinnacle of the sixth tier filled with anticipation Wong tion returned to the grand hall and with deaf experience triggered 20 mechanical puppets at once although faced with the simultaneous assault of 20 puppets he still triumphed with ease the collection of 20 Dragon Stones promised a significant boost to his strength with his heart briming with excitement Wong tion settled into a cross-legged position to cultivate as the number of dragon Stones increased so did the time required for absorption be why the time he completed the absorption of the 20 Dragon Stones an entire day and night had elapsed resulting in a successful Ascension to the Pinnacle of the sixth tier now he contemplated a breakthrough knowing that the Dragon required for such a feat would be substantial should he attempt to lure a 100 mechanical puppets at once his Ambitions were growing Bolder however 100 was excessive should he inadvertently trigger all the puppets it would spell trouble Wong tion's gaze roamed over the mechanical puppets until it settled on a particular armored puppet directly ahead this armored puppet seemed to possess a higher rank likely that of a subgen Wong tion sensed that the puppets he had previously dispatched were rather weak mere foot soldiers at best while this arm puppet promised greater challenge one subgen alongside 50-ft soldiers should be manageable for him Wong tion cautious not to trigger too many puppets at once decided to probe carefully however upon activating the subgen puppet he inadvertently triggered the 50 surrounding foot soldiers attack the subgen puppet emitted a commanding voice akin to the sound of a war drum with a single command the 50-foot soldiers surged toward wongon not daring to delay he retreated a few steps beyond the trigger line in ensuring no further puppets would activate before unleashing 13 swords to strike at them the front line of foot soldiers was utterly incompetent unable to withstand the sword energy of the Excalibur the subgen puppet however proved to be much more formidable it not only absorbed the sword energy but also launched a Counterattack indeed the subgen puppet was impressive suggesting that its Dragon Stone energy was significantly greater than that of the foot soldiers Wong tion's eyes gleamed with fervor as he commanded the other 13 swords to deal with the foot soldiers while he charged directly at the subgen puppet as he closed in their weapons clashed the subgen great sword was swiftly severed by the Excalibur yet it did not falter retaliating with a powerful punch aimed at Wong tion he dodged to the side channeling his dragon energy into a Counterstrike nine streams of golden dragon energy erupted forth crashing into the puppet's chest and creating a gaping wound remarkably the subgen puppet continued to move wielding the remnants of its great sword to strike at Wong tion once more with a swift motion Wong tion drew his sword and cleaved the puppet's head in two finally bringing it to a halt the subgen puppet had indeed been a worthy adversary after a moment of reflection he turned to eliminate the remaining foot soldiers. a an hour later both the subgen puppet and the 50-foot soldiers were vanquished yielding Wong tion a bounty of 50 Dragon Stones the size of pingpong balls along with a larger Dragon Stone the size of a fist excellent excellent this h all far surpassed previous Acquisitions cradling the dragon Stones Wong tion exited the melum and settled into a cross-legged position eager to absorb the new found Treasures with a total of 51 Dragon Stones the absorption process would take several days but Wong tion possessed ample time remaining seated to convert the dragon energy as the dragon energy within him steadily increased the dragon Egan his Danton gradually expanded eventually developing a faint crack upon witnessing the crack in the Dragon egg Wong tion felt a surge of exhilaration recognizing it as a sign of the dragon souls impending hatching he hastened his absorption of dragon energy and after an indeterminate passage of time the dragon egg having absorbed countless Dragon energies developed more cracks until it finally shattered chapter 57 I feel terrifyingly strong with the shattering of the dragon egg a golden dragon soul the size of a thumb emerged within Wong tion's Danton this was his innate dragon soul as the innate dragon and soul hatched Wong tion's strength surged successfully breaking through to the fifth tier with all aspects of his physical prowess experiencing a qualitative leap the moment he opened his eyes a beam of Golden Light shot forth strikingly formidable remarkably he had hatched a dragon soul at the fifth tier Wong tion's face could hardly conceal his excitement throughout the vast history of the daian dynasty spanning over 10,000 years only the first emperor had hatched a dragon soul and even he had only done so upon reaching the third tier yet here was Wong tion who had achieved this feat at the fifth tier making history truly unparalleled even the first emperor were he to rise from the grave would have to commend him however the dragon soul was still small and its power was limited once it grew larger it could serve as a formidable trump card Wong tion resolved to nurture this dragon soul further the strength of the dragon soul was directly proportional to his own power the stronger Wong tion became the more formidable the dragon soul would be when Unleashed nevertheless he would not hastily reveal his innate dragon soul as it was his ultimate trump card reserved for moments of life and death should the dragon soul perish he too would suffer the consequences I in addition to hatching the dragon soul Wong tion's physical attributes had significantly improved upon breaking through to the fifth tier he tested his strength with a punch discovering that golden fist energy transformed into a gust of miniature hurricane leaving him pleasantly surprised Theo effortlessly ConEd a punch into wind was remarkable he wondered how it would fare once transformed into spiritual energy Wong tion attempted to channel the spiritual energy within him converting the dragon energy into spiritual energy before unleashing another punch a small hurricane surged forth once more although slightly weaker it still possessed 90% of the Dragon Energy's might seeing this wangon nodded in satisfaction confirming that dragon energy indeed surpassed spiritual energy in terms of potency with his verification complet complete he stretched his Limbs and stepped back into the grand hall faced once more with a multitude of mechanical puppets wongon felt no trace of the anxiety he had experienced upon entering instead excitement and exhilaration took their place how could one not be thrilled by the sight of so many Dragon Stones continuing his work Wong tion mused that leaving such an abundance of dragon Stones unattended would be wasteful he would temporarily Safeguard them for his ancestors no need for gratitude as as he spoke he Advanced forward triggering 10- foot soldiers then skillfully retreating in haste once activated the 10- foot soldiers charged at him with great swords drawn wongon gripped the Excalibur tightly easily dispatching them and claiming the 10 small Dragon Stones however this time he did not rush to absorb them instead he continued to lure the mechanical puppets planning to accumulate a larger batch for simultaneous absorption this time Wong tion boldly attracted 50-foot soldiers and one subgen puppet totaling 51 mechanical puppets that launched an assault against him having previously faced such a configuration and with his Newfound strength he found it considerably easier to handle unless than the time it took to burn a stick of incense Wong tion joyfully gathered 50 small Dragon stones and one medium Dragon stone with such Bounty he felt increasingly motivated after several rounds of triggering clearing and collecting Dragon Stones the number of mechanical puppets in the grand hall dwindled significantly while Wong ton spatial inventory burgeoned with dragon Stones just as he was methodically preparing for the next round of steps he inadvertently triggered a general grade puppet this puppet clad in silver armor and wielding a green dragon Crescent blade glimmered ominously upon activation its eyes glowed with a menacing red light Intruders in the melum kill the general puppet bellowed raising its blade like a fierce tiger descending a mountain the roar was thunderous reverberating like a clap of Thunder it felt as if the Earth itself were quaking ey in an instant the remaining 400 mechanical puppets surged toward wongon like a disturbed swarm of bees their imposing presence reminiscent of a Relentless tide marching in perfect Unison Wong tion's expression changed dramatically he had not anticipated triggering a general grade puppet while 400 foot soldiers would have been manageable the presence of eight subgen puppets and one General grade puppet especially one wielding a green dragon Crescent blade and radiating ominous red light posed a formidable challenge all swords returned to their origin without hesitation Wong tion summoned his ultimate technique the three sacred swords Ching xien Hong Yuan and tiao alongside nine other swords coalesced into the formidable all swords returned to their origin formation swiftly wongon pointed and the 12 swords imbued with unparalleled momentum surged forth like a tempest resembling a rain of Swords streaking toward the enemy they intertwined in the air forming an intricate net of blades as if to envelop the entire world the foremost line of foot soldiers upon contact was utterly obliterated By The Sword energy of all swords returned to their origin while two subgen puppets that attempted to withstand the onslaught were similarly reduced to fragments upon witnessing the scene the general puppet brandishing A ching long Yin saber leaped forward unleashing a powerful swing that conjured forth a series of crimson blade energies transforming into a tangible red dragon that roared ferocious towards the WAN Jen guong Tio everyone's astonishment the formidable Wan Jen gu zong was momentarily halted by the onslaught of Red Dragon Blade energies is the strength of this General puppet truly so formidable to think it could single-handedly withstand my Wan Jen gu zong Wang tion was taken aback after all he had reached the fifth tier realm and the power of Wan Jen gu zong had significantly increased yet despite this it was still thwarted by this General puppet the combat prowess of this General puppet surpassed that of the minor servant as Juan Jan gu Zone was repelled the remaining lesser puppet soldiers under the command of the subordinate puppet charged relentlessly towards wongon faced with the overwhelming tide of mechanical puppets Wong tion had no choice but to activate his berserk skill this was an earth level technique gleaned from the blood Fox which allowed the user to instantaneously double their physical attributes for a duration of 15 minutes upon entering the berserk State Wong tion felt an overwhelming surge of power coursing through his body with his pupils transforming into a deep Crimson this berserk technique was astonishing the energy within him had suddenly doubled Wong tion felt an immense strength at his disposal he gripped The juen Sword and charged into the throng of mechanical puppets while simultaneously employing wanin gu zong to hold back the general puppet Chapter 58 the birth of the strongest mechanical puppet in history empowered by the berserk State wongon cut through the Lesser puppet Soldiers with ease akin to slicing through vegetable even when encountering the lieutenant level puppets he dispatched them within two rounds Dian the span of merely seven or 8 minutes won wielding the juen sword single-handedly faed over 200 mechanical puppets a this rate barring any unforeseen circumstances he would clear all mechanical puppets save for the general puppet before the berserk State concluded however upon witnessing the demise of so many of its subordinates the general puppet let out a furious Roar and an intense red glow emanated from its form resembling a blazing sun that was difficult to gaze upon break for me the general puppet tightened its grip on the Ching long yinu saber and swung it down towards Wan Jen gu zong like a fierce tiger descending a mountain I in an instant a beam of red sword light sliced through the air like lightning carrying with it an overwhelming Force aimed directly at Wan Jen guong it that moment time seemed to freeze and the entire world appeared to Halt only the red glow of the Ching long yinu saber shimmered in the night sky akin to a Colossal dragon soaring through the heavens the sword Chi of Wan Jen guon was abruptly Shattered by this single strike witnessing this spectacle left Wong tion in utter disbelief the combat strength of this General puppet was extraordinarily formidable capable of dispersing Wan Jen gu Zone with a single blow the power of this strike was indeed tremendous but it had also drained a significant amount of its energy each battle undertaken by a mechanical puppet required energy expenditure and once depleted its combat capability would diminish after delivering this blow the red glow surrounding the general puppet waned considerably those who intrude upon the melum Shall Perish the general puppet having shattered Wan Jin guong charged towards wangon wielding its Ching long yinu saber a this moment wangon felt less intimidated for the puppets momentum had diminished by more than half come on Wong tion Advanced rather than retreating gripping the juen sword firmly as he engaged it head-on a thunderous Clash of metal reverberated throughout the grand hall as Wong tion's grip on the sword numbed from the impact the force exerted by the opponent exceeded his expectations despite having expended half its energy the puppet retained considerable strength it is worth noting that Wong tion had already ascended to the fifth tier realm his physical attributes rivaling those of a fourth tier Adept and combined with the berserk State and the juusen sword his strike held the might of a full-powered assault from a third tier Master remarkably the general puppet even after expending half its energy managed to withstand Wong tion strike Wong tion had no time to be astonished with his right hand stabilizing the Ching long yinu saber he Unleashed a dragon infused Palm strike aimed at its head as soon as he executed the strike nine Golden Dragon energies surged forth like nine bolts of lightning imbued with terrifying thunderous power crashing into the general puppet before him the red glow merely mitigated five of The Golden Dragon energies while the remaining four struck directly at its head the immense energy obliterated its head and a large Dragon Stone tumbled forth from the shattered remnants success Wong tion felt elated however he had no time to retrieve the dragon Stone as the remaining mechanical puppet forces surged towards him he swiftly kicked aside the remnants of the general puppet obstructing his path and charged forward with the juen sword in hand T this point Wong tion's berserk state had not yet dissipated and he resembled a Celestial being effortlessly dispatching the mechanical puppets as if they were mere vegetables I in instant the berserk State concluded Wong tion also F the last mechanical puppet exhausted he collapsed onto the ground once the berserk State faded he felt utterly drained struggling to muster any strength even to catch his breath the side effects of the berserk technique were quite severe leaving him feeling utterly spent wongon sat on the ground channeling his dragon energy to recuperate until his breath steadied at which point he managed to rise unsteadily gazing at the remnants of the puppets and the dragon Stone strewn across the floor Wong tion suddenly felt invigorated as if he could repeat the Endeavor four or five more times with such an abundance of dragon Stones he would surely Prosper After exiting he could assist the minor servant in installing a few Wong tion approached and began collecting the dragon Stones within the grand hall methodically Gathering them after a considerable time he had successfully retrieved every Dragon Stone within the hall over 900 small Dragon stones 19 medium Dragon stones and one large Dragon Stone wongon beamed as he counted these Dragon Stones feeling as though he had struck it rich overnight just as he was engrossed in counting the dragon Stones a rustling sound suddenly echoed behind him Wong tion's senses were exceptionally Keen although the sound was faint it did not Escape his notice something was a Miss Wong tion quickly shifted his gaze towards the source of the noise discovering that the rustling sound emanated from the coffin of Emperor Wang chah no more precisely it originated from the coffin lid gripping The juen Sword in one hand and retrieving a medium Dragon stone with the other he began absorbing the dragon energy within to replenish what he had expended during the battle Wong tion's eyes remained fixed on the coffin lid sensing something was emerging from it could it be a coffin guarding Rune Wong tion furrowed his brow each time he had opened a coffin in the past he encountered such runes and this time would surely be no different he dared not approach for his current dragon energy had only recovered a third and he could not afford to act recklessly meanwhile the coffin lid began to tremble subtly and an egg-sized White Stone emerged ascending higher until it floated in midair what is this Wong tion focused intently realizing that the white stone was infused with spiritual energy and etched with numerous runes s he pondered the white stone emitted a radiant white glow causing the remnants of the puppets scattered on the ground to levitate and coales at a visible speed beginning to re symbol into a mechanical puppet Wong tion's expression shifted dramatically the white stone was reconstituting the mechanical puppets having witnessed the minor servants reassembly process before he recognized it immediately this white stone was far too enigmatic he could not allow it to recreate the mechanical puppets sword come Wong tion shouted and the 12 swords that had fallen to the ground sword back into his grasp wanan guong without hesitation Wong tion Unleashed his sword technique against the White Stone instantly the 12 swords charged towards the white stone with the force of Thunder their powerful sword energy seemingly capable of tearing through space however just as they were about to strike the white stone vanished Juan Jen gu zong struck empty air losing its Target where did it go Wong tion scanned the surroundings and finally spotted the white stone hovering above the reconstituted mechanical puppet head this is bad it was about to enter the newly formed puppet's head at this moment Wong TI realized it was too late to intervene the white Jade stone almost instantaneously burrowed into the reassembled mechanical puppet's Head Upon absorbing the immense energy the reconstituted mechanical puppet began to undergo a transformation evolving at a visible speed won's heart raced with trepidation the amalgamation of a thousand mechanical puppets into one combined with that mysterious energy Stone what kind of terrifying mechanical puppet would this produce chapter 59 it can actually recharge itself the constituted mechanical puppet stood over 2 m tall wielding a colossal sword and clad in red battle armor resembling a towering statue within the grand hall its body was forged from a unique material immensely hard capable of withstanding any assault its eyes glimmered with a red light as if a blaze with fire filled with boundless combat spirit and murderous intent faced with such a formidable mechanical puppet wangon felt an overwhelming sense of pressure akin to a mountain bearing down a upon him making it difficult to breathe what a daunting mechanical puppet won tightened his grip on the juian sword hastening the absorption of dragon energy from the medium Dragon Stone in his left hand those who intrude upon the melum Shall Perish the mechanical puppet proclaimed advancing towards Wong tion with its massive sword the ground trembled beneath its steps as if an earthquake had struck I in just three strides the mechanical puppet was upon Wong tion swinging its colossal sword with tremendous Force akin to a ferocious tiger leaping down from the mountains imbued with an overwhelming momentum and boundless murderous intent charging fiercely towards wangon like a meteor cutting through the night sky trailing a long tail it surged towards its Target with an overwhelming force it resembled The Towering waves of the ocean tumultuous and Grand attempting to smash through any obstacle in its path faced with such a formidable strike Wong tion dared not meet it head-on at the very moment the Colossal sword descended upon him he leaped backwards the massive blade cleaved through empty air crashing into the ground and creating a considerable pit in the palace floor what an immense power Wong tion gazed at the sizable crater his heart seized with trepidation if the blade alone could carve such a hole in the ground what would happen if it struck him would it not cleave him in Twain When the initial strike missed the mechanical puppet swiftly pivoted and resumed its aggressive assault on Wong tion moving at an astonishing speed leaving behind a flurry of afterimages Wong tion had assumed that someone of his stature could not possibly possess such swiftness yet the puppet's shadow likee velocity left him somewhat overwhelmed how fast Wong tion could only evade repeatedly while summoning 12 Flying Swords to attack from above whoosh whoosh whoosh the 12 swords shot forth like lightning towards the mechanical puppet sensing the sound of the swords whistling through the air the puppet waved its hand effortlessly swatting away half of the Flying Swords as if shoing away a few flies the remaining sword struck true against the puppet's form but inflicted no harm whatsoever leaving not even a trace merely momentarily delaying its Relentless assault this Revelation filled Wong tion with alarm point three holy swords and nine treasured swords failed to breach its defenses he inhaled sharply recognizing that he had encountered the most powerful mechanical puppet yet after narrowly dodging another attack won harnessed his dragon energy and leaped several times creating some distance between himself and the foe he then retrieved the loon mirror from his spatial system faced with an unbeatable adversary the loon mirror was the most fitting tool for the task upon being illuminated by the Kon mirror the mechanical puppet momentarily faltered and then a gigantic replica of itself appeared before Wong tion wielding a massive sword identical in height and bearing a similar imposing Aura radiating an eerie red light the only difference was that the replica's eyes held slightly less murderous intent destroy him Wong tion commanded the rep conjured by the konon mirror possessed the same combat prowess as its original but suffered 200 of the damage inflicted upon it and could only last for a quarter of an hour in a one-on-one confrontation the replica could not Vanquish the original thus its purpose was solely to distract while the true decisive strike would rely on Wong tion himself responding to Wong tion's command the replica swung its giant sword at the original puppet the original puppet did not flinch meeting the attack head-on with its own sword the two powerful mechanical puppets clashed and upon contact the replica found itself at a disadvantage due to the 200 damage it sustained I only have a quarter of an hour if I cannot defeat it with the konon mirror then I must concede defeat Wong tion thought his gaze sharpening he channeled the energy from his dragon soul and Unleashed his Ultimate Sword technique 10,000 swords returning to the origin this time he Incorporated the extermination sword a supreme Celestial sword of boundless power significantly enhancing the might of the 10,000 swords formation should this attempt fail he would have no further opportunities under Wong tion's command the formation surged forward imbued with World destroying energy racing towards the enemy even before the formation reached its Target countless sword energies surged toward the mechanical puppet with Wong tion's elevation in realm the power of the 10,000 swords returning to the origin had correspondingly Amplified rendering it unprecedentedly formidable too counter this Onslaught the gigantic mechanical puppet was compelled to divert one hand to fend off the terrifying sword formation while the other gripped its massive sword to contend with the replica this divided Focus left the once Mighty puppet somewhat overwhelmed you think such tricks can slay me roared the gigantic mechanical puppet its red energy erupting violently sending the 10,000 swords formation kening back at the same time it forced the replica back with a single stroke yet the replica was no pushover it too let out a furious Roar erupting with red energy as it it charged once more at the original puppet after the 10,000 swords formation was disrupted Wong tion quickly produced a medium-sized Dragon Stone replenishing his dragon energy while directing the formation to continue its assault on the gigantic puppet Wong tion's intentions were clear even if he could not slay it he would exhaust its energy the greatest weakness of the mechanical puppet lay in its energy depletion once depleted it would be rendered powerless thus Wong tion gritted his teeth determined to endure until the end the gigantic puppet taken aback by Wong tion's Relentless tenacity found itself besieged from both sides rapidly exhausting its energy after a quarter of an hour the replica created by the mirror vanished and the gigantic puppet's energy was nearly spent its movements growing sluggish excellent just a little longer and I can reduce this mechanical puppet to scrap metal wongon sensed Victory Within Reach and retrieved another medium-sized Dragon Stone continuing to replenish his dragon energy with the replica and the 10,000 swords formation having drained much of its energy the red glow emanating from the gigantic puppet began to wne barely allowing it to contend with Wong tion's Relentless assault under normal circumstances it was only a matter of time before the gigantic puppet succumbed while Wong tion possessed ample Dragon stones for replenishment however just as the gigantic puppet appeared on the verge of collapse a brilliant white light suddenly erupted from its head Illuminating the darkness like a beacon under this white Radiance the spiritual energy within the hall surged violently towards the puppet's head Wong tion was taken aback what this creature can recharge itself how is he to exhaust it now Wong tion was astounded the mechanical puppets weakness was glaringly evident once its energy was depleted it would become nothing more than a heap of scrap yet this mechanical puppet astonishingly could self- recharge akin to a Charger drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy to fuel itself with such a cap ability it effectively circumvented the fate of depletion time was of the essence he had to strike decisively before it completed its recharging Wong tion resolved firmly and swiftly retrieved an item from his spatial system chapter 60 the little servant reassembles and evolves again to prevent the gigantic mechanical puppet from regaining energy Wong tion Drew forth the moon Fox Pearl from his spatial system the only means to defeat the Colossal puppet now lay in harnessing the fox Spirit energy contained within the Pearl though the fox Spirit energy was assumptive in nature Wong tion felt the potential reward of acquiring the mysterious energy Stone nestled within the gigantic puppet s head was worth the risk without a moment's hesitation he began to chant the incantation as he uttered the incantation the moon Fox Pearl resonated with him enveloping him in a pinkish Aura of fox Spirit energy break for me Wong tion having mastered the fox Spirit energy wasted no time Vanishing from his original position and reappearing right before the gigantic puppet with its energy sign significantly depleted the puppet reactions had slowed considerably be why the time it registered Wong tion's presence it was already too late Wong tion swiftly summoned the extermination sword and struck towards its head the gigantic puppet attempted to block the blow but its red energy had weakened considerably unable to withstand the ferocity of Wong tion strike especially augmented by the fox Spirit energy a flash of pink sword energy sliced through severing both the puppet's hand and head in an instant Wong tion quick Ed caught the falling head and promptly extracted the mysterious white stone from within it as he gripped the enigmatic Stone tightly a warm energy coursed through his palm without the support of the mysterious energy the remnants of the gigantic puppet collapsed shattering into countless fragments finally resolved Wong tion breathed a sigh of relief to confront this colossal mechanical puppet had required him to exhaust all his Trump cards far more challenging than dealing with the sword soul of the shushan ancestor consequently the fox Spirit energy had depleted a third of its total Wong tion now had enough energy for one last invocation turning his attention to the mysterious white stone in his hand wongon examined it closely it felt smooth and warm to the touch imbued with Rich spiritual energy intricately inscribed with complex and obscure runes that glimmered faintly an energy Stone capable of self-recharging if given to the little servant would she not soar to new heights wongon had long sought a solution to the little servants energy deficiency and with this self-recharging energy Stone she could fight indefinitely furthermore he suspected that installing this energy Stone might trigger a reassembly and evolution of the little servant he found himself eagerly anticipating the prospect of placing this energy Stone within her head however before that he needed to pay a visit to the adorable and enchanting ancestor Wong tion stored the White Energy Stone in his spatial system and redirected his gaze towards the coffin of Emperor wangi although the White Energy Stone had flown out from the cin lid Wong tion approached cautiously still wielding the extermination sword as a precaution as he drew nearer to Emperor Wong Chi's coffin the runic energy upon the coffin lid did not attack him it seemed that the earlier mysterious energy Stone had served as a guardian Talisman Wong tion silently marveled and adeptly used the extermination sword to pry open the coffin lit his actions had matured considerably soon he succeeded in prying it open releasing a foul stinch of Decay fortunately Wong on had prepared in advance using his dragon energy to Shield himself from the repugnant odor the passage of Millennia has reduced Emperor wangi to Mere bones s Wong tion peered inside he was astonished to discover the coffin contained no burial Treasures save for an object that resembled neither sword nor blade something akin to a ruler yet exceptionally sharp what could this be Wong tion carefully extracted the sharp ruler inspecting it with meticulous attention when he attempted to resonate with it using his sword heart he was taken aback with delight to find he could manipulate it it appeared to be a sword after all with my sword heart I can control it since it is a sword I shall borrow it from my ancestor and return it once I am finished if you make no objection I shall take your silence as acquiescence Wong tion spoke thus to the bones of Emperor Wong Chi and then with a sense of satisfaction he stored the ruler sword in his system space next it was time to examine his ancestor rubbing his hands together with anticipation he reached towards the skeletal remains of Emperor wangi the moment his hand made contact the systems voice rang out ding congratulations host for discovering a ground level corpse you have acquired the great Ascension mechanism a rt. as the systems announcement faded a wealth of knowledge regarding the great Ascension mechanism art flooded Wong tion's mind and he comprehended it instantaneously at this moment Wong tion had become a master of mechanisms par Excellence truly as the Emperor of mechanisms the Treasures he Unearthed were indeed invaluable Wong tion felt immense satisfaction with the great Ascension mechanism art the esteemed Master luban had once utilized this very art and in the past many within the T Pavilion had mastered it as well resulting in the creation of remarkably high level mechanical puppets some rivaling the finest experts Shia new was a prime example among them however since Master luan's passing his disciples had dwindled in skill and the T Pavilion had seen a decline in those capable of grasping the greatest ion mechanism art leading to a noticeable drop in the quality of their mechanical puppets without Master luan's oversight the overall strength of the tji Pavilion had gradually slipped from the top 50 in rankings now relegated to a second or third tier sect excellent with the great Ascension mechanism art and that mysterious energy Stone I can now enhance sh new Wong tion silently resolved after completing these tasks he surveyed his surroundings once more realizing there was nothing else of use to borrow and then he respectfully closed the coffin lid bowing Thrice to his ancestor upon exiting the melum wongon noticed that night had fallen and shiau awaited him outside as soon as she saw him emerge shiau rushed forward Master after 8 days you finally returned point8 days had passed wongon felt as if he had only been momentarily distracted in the melum quickly coming to terms with the time lost especially considering the time spent absorbing the dragon stones come master has a treasure to show you with eager anticipation Wong tion headed toward the dilapidated Cottage his mind set on enhancing sha new what treasure does Master have for me Shaun new asked a glimmer of excitement in her eyes although she was a mechanical puppet she possessed a soul and thus human emotions you will find out shortly wongon teased quickening his Pace prompting xunu to instinctively match his speed soon they arrived at the humble wooden dwelling where a boy stood alongside an Exquisite mechanical puppet master what treasure do you intend to to give me shiau could no longer contain her curiosity it as this Wong tion retrieved the mysterious white energy Stone from his system space placing it in his palm what is this shunu blinked her face a picture of confusion this Stone will ensure your energy never wains once depleted it will automatically absorb surrounding spiritual energy to recharge Wong tion revealed the stone secret to shiau then bit his finger to let a drop of blood fall upon it signifying blood recognition of ownership although it was a clitch it proved effective i s it really true shaunk eyes sparkled with hope as a mechanical puppet she understood all too well what automatic recharging meant for her indeed it is true I shall fit you with the energy Stone now Wong tion declared with eager anticipation wonderful xunu obediently Stood Still allowing wongon to open the back of her head after removing the several Dragon stones from her original head he inserted the mysterious energy Stone and stepped back watching quietly for any changes not long after the energy Stone was placed inside xia new's entire form began a remarkable process of reformation and evolution her green dress fell gracefully to the ground as she transformed under the stones Radiance visibly reshaping and evolving Wong tion stood by his heart racing with excitement as he observed sha new as metamorphosis a an hour later when a completely new Shu appeared before him he was utterly astounded she was breathtakingly realistic chapter 61 the Flawless and obedient sha new the reformed XA new bore no resemblance to a mechanical puppet she resembled a Celestial being descended to Earth stunningly beautiful her figure was Slender and graceful perfectly contoured like a blossoming flower her skin was as Fair as snow smooth as silk with droplets of water gliding effortlessly upon it her hair cascaded like a waterfall over her Flawless shoulders gently brushing against her Alabaster skin with a silky softness her eyes sparkled like stars radiating a captiv Brilliance that stirred the heart upon meeting their gaze the evolved shiau resembled a Flawless work of art devoid of any imperfections and a mere glance would render one utterly entranced how beautiful the four Great beauties of the capital pale in comparison she is truly like a fairy Wong tion couldn't help but Marvel then circled around xia new scrutinizing every detail growing increasingly enamored with her post- evolution form which was nothing short of Exquisite akin to a Celestial being master I feel an overwhelming surge of power and the ability to absorb surrounding spiritual energy for recharging Shia new's face gleamed with joy her Evolution had made her more humanlike particularly with the coveted ability to recharge energy a long-held dream realized all thanks to Wong tion's enhancements excellent your current strength is at least at the first tier level and with the ability to absorb surrounding spiritual energy you will soon become a top tier expert Wong tion admired sha new's figure marveling at his creation the first of its kind so impeccably Flawless her features form and every detail were astoundingly lifelike however when his gaze drifted Southward he felt a flush of embarrassment realizing that xia new had transformed in a way that rendered her nearly indistinguishable from a woman though she still lacked breath the flow of spiritual energy within her body would deceive even the most skilled into believing she was a top tier expert with restrained Aura Shia new please put on the dress it's chilly and you might catch a cold wongon awkwardly suggested of course Master xunu obediently replied immediately Dawning the green long skirt that had fallen to the ground regardless of the task shiau would comply even the most outrageous requests once clad in the green dress her Aura seemed to elevate resembling a glimmering emerald or a flower fairy Fallen to Earth so enchanting that one couldn't help but want to embrace her tenderly that's enough sha new please guard outside while I train Wong tion felt it was best not to remain alone with shiau any longer her Allure had intensified especially with her Newfound realism if he lingered he might lose control understood Master shiau replied and dutifully exited the humble abode standing guard outside after she left Wong tion sat cross-legged on the bed retrieving a large handful of dragon stones from his system space to lay before him with so many Dragon Stones acquired it was time to utilize some otherwise they would go to waste once settled Wong tion began to absorb the dragon energy contained within the stones earnestly as the dragon energy flowed into his body the thumb-sized dragon soul within his Danton began to joyfully absorb it with the influx of dragon energy this dragon soul grew imperceptibly over time as the dragon soul matured so too did Wang tion's strength rapidly escalate throughout the course of an entire night he absorbed 30 small Dragon Stones resulting in a slight growth of his dragon soul after hatching the dragon soul it seemed to require an even greater amount of dragon energy fortunately he had an abundance of dragon Stones Wong tion retrieved another 200 small Dragon stones and four mediumsized ones from his system space with such a bounty he resumed his meditation the rich dragon energy continuously permeated his body cleansing his meridians significantly enhancing his physical attributes and accelerating the growth of the dragon soul days passed and all 200 Dragon Stones were consumed propelling Wong tion's cultivation from the early fifth tier to the mid-tier while the dragon soul had grown considerably now the size of two thumbs it took 200 Dragon stones to double the dragon soul size how much dragon energy would be required for it to grow into a Colossal dragon Wong tion pondered the considerable energy expenditure required to nourish such a dragon soul yet he knew that the stronger the dragon soul became the more his own power would rise in Tandem and once fully developed its combat prowess would be formidable just as Wong tion prepared to continue his training a distant voice from The chilin Pavilion reached him before departing The chilin Pavilion Yun jongi had gifted him a long-distance communication Talisman which would transmit a message whenever there was news regarding nine specific materials wongon perceived a disturbance from the distant communication Talisman and promptly retrieved it from the confines of the system space upon opening it a message indeed awaited him young Master tion there is news regarding the Pure Heaven Pearl however Swift action is imperative lest it be snatched away by others understood I shall come at once after replying through the communication Talisman Wong tion immediately leapt from his rickety wooden bed how could he possibly miss out on news of valuable materials upon exiting the dilapidated Hut shiau hastily approached him Master you have emerged from your seclusion shiau accompany me on an outing after a moment's contemplation Wang tion resolved to bring shunu along she was now a first tier mechanical puppet capable of autonomously replenishing her energy if they encountered skilled individuals vying for the Pure Heaven Pearl sha new could prove to be of significant assistence certainly Master without hesitation shiau nodded in agreement her delicate features adorned with a hint of excitement seemingly delighted at the prospect of aiding her master donning a silver mask and a black cloak Wong tion once again stepped forth from the Royal tomb in the guise of the Heavenly King meanwhile within the courtyard of chilin Pavilion Yun Su was tending to the flowers occasionally stealing glances at the entrance just moments ago she had heard from her father that the Heavenly King was to arrive which left her in a state of unease she was unaware of the young man's appearance behind the mask yet she found herself unable to suppress thoughts of him Yun Su could not fathom why she felt this way perhaps it was due to his Rescue of their chilin Pavilion or perhaps it was the feeling of a fateful glance that lingered or perhaps it was his silent gesture of gifting her a chen an inexplicable sentiment enveloped her miss you going to drown the flowers suddenly the maid xong interjected coming back to her senses Y and Su realized she had been lost in thought and the pot of beona before her was overflowing with water it hasn't rained in days so I thought i' e give it a thorough watering she hastily concocted an excuse but it just rained yesterday xong replied with a puzzled expression just then a shadow clad in Black appeared at the entrance and the Pavilion Master Yun jongi personally welcomed the visit upon seeing this figure Yuan Sue sat down the watering can adjusted her skirt and joyfully prepared to greet him only to notice that today he was accompanied by a woman of extraordinary beauty akin to a Celestial being which stirred an Indescribable feeling within her chapter 62 Yun Su jealousy young Master ton I have prepared the finest yunan tea for you please come inside Yun jongi warmly ushered wongon into the courtyard his attention momentarily caught by Sha newu beside him causing him to raise an eyebrow in Surprise it was not merely her beauty that astounded him but rather the aura she emanated deep and mysterious a level of cultivation that even he could not discern indicating that she was a formidable expert perhaps even stronger than himself that would be Troublesome for you Pavilion Master Yun Wong tion replied as he stepped inside in the hall the elegantly adorned Yun Su personally brought tea to serve young Master ton this is the finest yunan tea I hope you enjoy it she performed a graceful curtsy her gentle tone and exquisite demeanor evoking a Refreshing Spring Breeze Miss Yun it has been a while wangon said unable to resist greeting her as he accepted the tea that I tea has indeed been a while Yun Su replied affectionately before bringing another cup of tea to shiau this fairy must be young Master tion's companion truly a match made in heaven she thought feeling a twinge of jealousy in her mind only such a stunning Heavenly Maiden was worthy of wongon yet she realized she had made a blunder she is not my companion her name is XA new and she is my my junior Apprentice wongon hesitated to reveal sha new's true nature as a mechanical puppet thus fabricating a sisterly identity for her do so she is young Master tion's Junior Apprentice Yun Su thought secretly relieved be why the way Pavilion Master Yun you summon me because you have news about the Pure Heaven Pearl correct do you know it whereabouts Wong tion quickly redirected the conversation wey of revealing news situation yes we have news regarding the Pure Heaven Pearl sourced from a deputy hallm speaking seriously Yun jongi straightened his posture his expression becoming grave according to him the Pure Heaven Pearl will be auctioned in hanang city in 3 days I have sent someone to investigate and it is indeed true the Pure Heaven Pearl is to be auctioned this is a treasure of Earth tier quality who would part with it Wong tion frowned pondering the implications of such a high-grade treasure being put up for auction I too have my doubts but this is the only opportunity furthermore I have heard that many sect leaders and cultivating families will be present to bid making the competition Fierce Yun jungi stated his voice low given the number of contenders vying for the Pure Heaven Pearl it was only natural after all it was a treasure of Earth tier quality yet Wong tion found himself puzzled as to why the owner would be willing to auction such a valuable item Pavilion Master Yun could you help me ascertain who is selling the Pure Heaven Pearl wongon inquire fired cautiously the individual's identity is shrouded in mystery according to the deputy Hall Master they have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation and urgently require top tier Spirit Stones hence their intention to sell the Pure Heaven Pearl for the sake of breaking through Yun jongi replied earnestly Wong tion nodded in understanding while the Pure Heaven Pearl was precious it offered little aid for cultivation its primary benefits were in granting immunity to toxins and purifying demonic and monstrous energies I in that case I shall set forth for for hanang City Wong tion quickly resolved feeling a sense of urgency despite his lingering doubts he believed he must personally make the journey to acquire the Pure Heaven Pearl Young Master tion if it is not too much trouble I wish to accompany you yunu interjected eager to repay Wong tion for his assistance in Saving chilin Pavilion seizing this opportunity she wanted to help him secure the Pure Heaven Pearl Miss Yun the journey to hanang City may be fraught with danger it could very well threaten your life wongon expressed his onment at her willingness to join him I am unafraid just a few days ago I Advanced to the fifth tier and with my black withen I can not only protect myself but perhaps even assist you together our music and swords will be formidable enough to face first tier experts y Sue declared with Resolute determination in her beautiful eyes Wong tion had risked his life to save them so how could she shy away from a similar risk to help him moreover Wong tion had clandestinely gifted her a chen a kindness she felt compelled to repay this may not be prudent wongon remained hesitant the journey to Hong City would undoubtedly be perilous and he did not want Yun Su to take such risks allow sewer to accompany you Yun jongi suddenly interjected recognizing his daughter's eagerness and understanding her character once she resolved on a course of action she would not turn back very well then let us go together Wong tion reluctantly acquiesced upon hearing they would travel together Yun Su felt the surge of Jo y. in the grand hall of lungu Mountain the sect leader mu shanan the Elder Jang Bao and the fourth Elder jelang were engaged in a discussion have we managed to uncover the identity of the disciple from shushan who breached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion musan Yuan inquired his gaze fixed on jelang reporting to the SE leader the higher-ups of shushan are keeping this disciple identity Under Wraps making it impossible for me to investigate however I did managed to glean some information from a disciple stationed at the foot of the mountain which may pertain to this disciple jel young replied solemnly to oh what information musuan and Jang B both turned their attention to him on the day before the Copper Bell sounded in the sword Pavilion a figure released the 10,000 swords returning to the sect technique at the foot of the mountain this individual was clad in a silver mask and dawned a black cloak jalong pondered before speaking clad in a silver mask and a black cloak and capable of using 10,000 swords returning to the sect could this person be the Heavenly King Elder Jang ba Rose excitedly ever since Wong tion had severed one of his arms he had tirelessly sought to uncover Wong tion's identity. it seemed likely that the individual who breached the 18th level of the sword Pavilion was indeed this heavenly king among the nearly 100,000 Disciples of shushan only he possessed the talent to wield such a technique a glimmer of killing intent flickered in mu Shan yuan's eyes successfully breaching the 18th level of the sword Pavilion indicated that shushan would soon produce another sword God a development that would not bode well for lungo mountain given the limited cultivation resources on tonian continent a strengthened adversary would mean diminished resources for them especially since they had already incurred the wrath of shushan heavenly King should he continue to grow stronger lungo Mountain could find itself facing Annihilation be why the way have Arrangements been made concerning hanyang City musuan inquired directing his gaze toward Elder xang Bao reporting to the SE leader the arrangements are in place I have already released news of the Pure Heaven Pearl to see if we can lure in a big catch Jean B replied these nine materials are likely what shushin seeks we must be wary of their people coming to snatch the Pure Heaven Pearl mush shanan cautioned rest assured sect leader I will not truly offer the Pure Heaven Pearl unless I have a substantial catch Jang ba calculated even if people from shushan come I am unperturbed I have instructed my elder brother to set up a life and death formation near hanang City anyone who can breathe will be devoured by the formation Jang Ba's elder brother was the third Elder of the formation sect revered for his unparalleled skills in Array techniques the life and death formation was particularly notorious for claiming countless lives even first tier experts could find themselves in Dire Straits if they inadvertently entered the array as they spoke of this life and death formation both musuan and jel Yang's Expressions darkened indicating they had witnessed its terrifying power firsthand chapter 63 the Chen's Melody conveys em motion beneath the bright and warm sun a carriage sped along the official Road inside wongon yunu and shiau were seated wangon and shiau on one side with yunu opposite them yuno cradled the timin wrapped in Black cloth in her arms her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing furtively at Wong tion who was preoccupied with thoughts on how to seize the Pure Heaven Pearl upon their arrival in hanang city thank you young Master tion for the Exquisite Chen you bestowed upon me she finally broke the silence after a considerable pause H you know it was I who gifted you the Chen Wong t on momentarily startled recalled that he had merely left a note without signing it he was astonished that yunio could deduce it was him truly she was the most talented woman in the capital astute and perceptive I recognized the handwriting on the alliance agreement matched that of the note you left for me which led me to conclude that this CH was a gift from you young Master tion yuno explained her tone melodious now I understand wongon nodded a look of realization Crossing his face be why the way Miss Yun do you find this Chen to your liking indeed I feel a profound connection with this Qin in.it resonates with me and playing it feels utterly natural devoid of any sense of strangeness yuno replied gently caressing the tin maen as if it were an old friend long lost the Chen emanated an aura of mystery that enveloped her in warmth that's wonderful to hear it seems I made the right choice and gifting it to you Wong tion said delighted by her enthusiasm Eye In His Hands the timin was nearly an ornament but in yuno's grasp it transformed into a Priceless treasure capable of lethal Melodies young Master tion you have not only gifted me this Chen but also saved our chilin Pavilion such immense kindness leaves me at a loss as to how to repay you yuno expressed her eyes brimming with gratitude such a favor could be repaid with your hand in marriage perhaps Wong tion gested hoping to tease The Talented lady from the capital upon hearing his words yuno's cheeks flushed crimson her heart raced like a startled deer and her delicate hands nervously clutched her skirt after a long pause she mustered the courage to respond only to be interrupted by Wong tion I was merely jesting rescuing your chilin Pavilion was a trivial matter nothing to dwell upon he quipped having never intended to seek repayment or gratitude from her his motivation for saving her was rooted in a premonition that she was connected to the enchanting corpse within the black melum yuno sighed with relief yet felt a tinge of disappointment after all how could someone as dashing as impossibly desire her speaking of that mesmerizing corpse Wong tion couldn't help but inquire further be why the way Miss Yun do you have any ancestors who resemble you closely given that the beautiful corpse had Lain there for years it could not possibly be a sister or mother of hers thus he inquired about her distant ancestors specifically those from Millennia ago I do not know I have never seen what our Yun family's ancestors looked like yunio shook her head perplexed by Wong TI 's sudden interest in her lineage that is understandable Wong tion nodded recognizing the improbability of knowing the appearance of ancestors from so long ago young Master tion you may dispense with calling me Miss Yun it feels somewhat distant you may call me shiao or Cher instead she suggested a faint blush coloring her cheeks she wished to dissolve the formality between them then I shall call you shiao Wong tion replied somewhat awkwardly scratching his head and you may refer to me as brother tion very well brother tion yuno exclaimed her voice briming with joy the term brother tion washed over Wong tion like a gentle spring Breeze bringing him immense Comfort brother tion the journey to hanang city is long allow me to play the Chen For Your Entertainment yuno proposed her fingers caressing the tin maen eager to share her music while also quenching her own yearning to play that sounds delightful I shall listen intently wongon responded with enthusiasm it was a rare privilege to have the capital's most talented lady perform solely for him soon the enchanting Melodies of the Chen filled the carriage akin to Celestial music at times reminiscent of lofty mountains and flowing Waters at other moments evoking a gentle breeze or a torrential downpour wongon was entranced as if he had been transported to a dreamlike realm under the spell of the Exquisite melodies the flow of dragon energy within him quickened and the Dragon Spirit in his Danon danced with j y as the final notes faded Wong tion remained immersed in the lingering beauty of the Chen sound brother tion yunio gently called bringing him back to reality he quickly realized that his Dragon Spirit had indeed grown slightly larger and the dragon energy within him had increased as well could it be that listening to Chen music can enhance one's strength Wong tion was utterly astonished this was beyond his imagination you've discovered my secret my Chen music not only has the power to slay but can also Aid in cultivation yunio replied with a hint of Pride so bringing you along was indeed A wise choice tion marveled at the unexpected benefits of the Tim maen your performance was magnificent in your hands this Chen has truly realized its worth he thought to himself feeling fortunate for having gifted it to her brother tion if you do not mind I would be delighted to play another piece for you yuno offered her smile breathtaking I have no objections whatsoever I thoroughly enjoy your playing and it perfectly complement my cultivation Wong tion replied eagerly relishing the opportunity to appreciate her Artistry while enhancing his own abilities then I shall indulge you yuno said placing her delicate Fair hands back on the strings and a new enchanting Melody filled the air imbued with subtle emotions a te the front of the carriage a valiant Female warrior hearing the Exquisite sound couldn't help but smile slightly my dear Chio has grown she mused however this silver armored man seems rather wooden showing no reaction to her heartfelt playing I appears I must lend her a hand today only one chapter as I am undergoing treatment I will strive to make up for it tomorrow chapter 64 shall we sleep together within the Grand Hall of lungo Mountain the sect leader musuan was engaged in discussions with other Elders when the hurried footsteps of Elder Jang ba announced his arrival sect leader I bring good news truly momentous news we've caught a big fish or rather two what news do you bring asked musuan his gaze shifting towards Jang ba as he dismissed the other Elders with a wave of his hand yunio and that swordsmanship Prodigy from sh Shen tion Wong have set off together for hanang City Elder xang B reported his face alight with excitement they are traveling together is your information reliable musuan inquired concern etched upon his features absolutely reliable I witnessed them bore the same carriage and depart the capital heading straight for hanang City Jang ba affirmed solemnly excellent we've hooked two big fish at once this will save me considerable effort mu Shan yuan's face lit up with exhilaration at the unexpected turn of events however he soon regained his composure who else is accompanying them to hanang City he surmised that given Yun jong's affection for his daughter he would never allow her to travel alone with a man additionally there is hunging from chilin Pavilion Jang B added. ASI suspected Yun jongi has indeed dispatched someone to protect his daughter musuan noted ponging has she been recalled muan yuan's brow furrowed as he regarded her with a measure of caution although she was merely at the peak of the Third Realm her master of the Phoenix rebirth spear technique posed a considerable challenge even for him yes she just returned from baong likely summoned back by Yun jongi Jang B confirmed exuding confidence however her return will not impede our grand scheme once they enter the life and death array set by my brother None Shall Escape very well we shall proceed as planned the Pure Heaven Pearl may be released but we must ensure it does not fall into the hands of Outsiders musuan instructed with solemnity this Pure Heaven Pearl is the bait I have laid I intend to catch the big fish while safeguarding the bait he thought demonstrating his strategic Acumen rest assured I will ensure they have no way back Jang ba declared glancing at his severed arm his eyes brimming with vengeful intent he swore not to rest until he Avenged this grievance after a day of travel Just Before Sunset wongon and his companions finally arrived in hanang City a place rich in culture and Heritage CH May young Master tion we have arrived in Hong City hunging exclaimed gracefully leaping down from the carriage too assist Wong tion and his companions in acquiring the Pure Heaven Pearl Yun jungi had specially summoned Hong who was among the most formidable members of the chilin pavilion second only to Yun junzi himself in terms of combat prowess she might even surpass him have we arrived so soon wongon emerged from The Carriage having lost track of time while in yuno's company indeed we are already in hanang City Hong in confirmed expertly made managing the arrangements it is nearly dark we should find an inn for the night and register for the auction at the reward Pavilion tomorrow thank you sister Hong yuno said her slender form peering out from the carriage she shared a close bond with Hong in often referring to her as a sister for you sister the effort is worth it Hong in replied her words carrying a deeper meaning as she swiftly entered a nearby in her actions efficient and decisive wangan and yuno followed her inside with XA new trailing behind upon entering the Inn hongying had already completed the check-in procedures only two rooms remained one for young Master tion and sister chill and the other for myself and this little Junior sister without hesitation ponging made a decisive Choice what you want me to share a room with little Cho Wong tion exclaimed taken aback by the idea of a man and woman alone in one room yunio was equally astonished she had assumed that her sister Hong in would share the room with her not expecting this Arrangement are you not sharing a room with sister Chio do you wish to share with me instead Hong swiftly cut off Wong tion's opportunity to argue and winked at yunio the latter quick witted as she was instantly grasped Hong Ying's intentions her cheeks flushing a deep Crimson even if I were to agree she wouldn't be willing I suppose I shall just share with my junior sister Wong tion felt the arrangement was inappropriate particularly without consulting Yun Qi in his view How could a young lady possibly wish to share a room with him however he was mistaken this time I am willing yunio who had hesitated at first immediately voiced her consent upon hearing that Wong tion was to share a room with her beautiful Junior sister disregarding any reservations see sister Cho has agreed so it shall be hunging smiled lightly and led the way upstairs as she passed by yunio she leaned down and whispered in her ear dear sister this is a once in a-lifetime Opportunity you must seize it upon hearing this yuno's face flushed even more and she lowered her head unable to meet Wong tion's gaze w tion felt somewhat helpless but since yunio had consented he could no longer oppose it lest he appear to disdain her the Little Junior sister felt even more helpless as no one had consulted her opinion throughout this process when she looked to wongon for guidance he could only nod resignedly and she had no choice but to accept the arrangement their room was located on the third floor in the B Suite while Hong in and the Little Junior sister's room was on the second floor in the DU Suite separated by a floor and a notable distance yunio holding her zither shy followed won into the room the room was rather Exquisite featuring a large bed a table two chairs a screen and a wooden tub for bathing it was a pleasant enough space but why was there only one bed Wong tion frowned at the sight of a large bed pondering how they would manage to sleep with only one brother tion you can take the bed I can sleep on the floor yuno suggested cheerfully how can I allow you a young lady to sleep on the floor you take the bed and I will sleep on the floor Wong tion declared resolutely to a gentleman he could not permit a lady to sleep on the floor while he occupied the bed however the floor was rather cold perhaps perhaps we could sleep together yuno's face turned beat red as she mustered the courage to utter those words chapter 65 Hong Ying's good intentions yunio had gathered her courage to voice that suggestion upon saying it her cheeks bloomed with a vibrant blush as if kissed by the evening glow warm and radiant enough to ignite the air around her her heart raced like a startled Fawn nearly bursting from her chest her delicate hands anxiously clutched the Hem of her skirt almost tearing it apart together Wong tion's eyes widened in disbelief feeling he had misheard you mean you sleep in the bed and I sleep on the floor is that what you mean by together that is not what I meant I meant to say the floor is cold Yun Shunk face was a flame as she prepared to clarify but Wong tion oblivious interrupted her in a worries a little Chill on the floor FL is nothing to me you can sleep soundly in the bed I'll take the floor he said nobly all right then seeing wongon so insistent yunio sighed softly feeling a hint of disappointment in her heart yet simultaneously impressed by his chivalry as night deepened the two found themselves in a room together and with yuno s Beauty wongon absurdly sat in a chair eyes closed cultivating his energy as he prepared to spend the night this way observing wongon in meditation yunio decided to take a bath being a young lady she found it unbearable to go without bathing each day so she requested hot water from the 's attendant while wongon remained with his eyes closed after pouring the hot water into the wooden tub yunio carefully placed a screen between herself and Wong ton surely brother tion wouldn't be able to see me now moreover he was deep in meditation and likely woundn't to notice as she thought this she cast a furtive glance at wongon confirming he was indeed in a trance and then began to undress the white silk of her long dress slowly Slipped Away revealing her Flawless pale skin reminiscent of Jade glistening and unblemished her figure was enchanting and graceful with every curve evoking Allure captivating anyone who beheld her before entering the tub yunio delicately untied the silk ribbon around her waist her movements gentle and elegant as if she were dancing next her last piece of clothing fell away like snowflakes unveiling her ample bosom as the Garment slipped from her Yun figure was fully revealed her waist was Slender and delicate seemingly fragile while her long Fair legs were straight and slender exuding a sense of Grace that was accentuated now that they were fully exposed to the air making her all the more captivating every movement she made was filled with elegance and seduction akin to performing a silent dance entrancing anyone who watched her form and skin Blended seamlessly radiating an irresistible Allure akin to a blooming flower beautiful and enchanting testing the water with her delicate translucent toes yunio found it to be just right and carefully settled into the tub the water enveloped her shoulders much like a Lotus blossoming in the water how delightful she exclaimed splashing some water onto herself washing away the fatigue of the day the cool water caressed every inch of her soft skin also dampening her flowing black hair rendering her even more alluring as the night deepened Hong in stealthily approached the door of yuno's room her heart filled with worry I wonder how things are going with sister Chio has that wooden man realized sister CH feelings she was quite concerned ponging had always shared a close bond with yunio and upon learning of the indignity inflicted upon her by the sixth Prince she nearly wished to take up arms against him had she not been occupied with a crucial mission in baong at the time she would have returned without hesitation now that she was back she was intent on quietly avenging her sister besides this matter Hong Ying was also anxious about Yun future happiness the news of yunio disgrace had spread throughout the capital and all the young Lords who once pursued her had vanished in the tonin continent a woman s virtue was of utmost importance once tarnished many men would turn away hunging feared for yuno prospects but just then she discovered that yunio had developed feelings for someone knowing her sister's shy nature she realized yunio would never express her feelings openly thus she resolved to assist her quietly arriving outside the room Hing poked a hole in the window paper and leaned in just in time to see Yun bathing in the tub her Exquisite form more than enough to stir even her own heart after years apart sister Chio had matured beautifully she is even more impressive than I am after watching for a moment ponging noticed the wooden man beside the screen still engrossed in his meditation completely oblivious to yuno's bathing this infuriated her how could sister Cho possibly have feelings for such a wooden man the capital's most beautiful woman with such a perfect body and stunning face was bathing right next to him yet he remained unfazed is he even a man Hong in was left speechless utterly exasperated do no I must help sister Cho she has finally found someone she likes and I cannot let her down especially since it concerns her future happiness with this thought ponging resolved to wait for the right moment to provoke this wooden man convinced that no man could remain indifferent upon witnessing sister chunk Beauty peering through the hole in the window she kept a watchful eye on yunio as she finished her bath when yunio stood up hunging since the moment had come what an opportunity focusing her energy into her fingertip she directed it through the hole in the window towards the obstructive screen the force struck the screen knocking it down with a resounding crash the sudden commotion startled yunio who let out a startled cry while Wong tion awakened from his meditation by her scream turned to see the source of the noise only to be met with a sight that made his heart race chapter 66 the temptation of a emerging from the bath upon hearing yuno's cry Wong tion was instantly roused from his meditative State and turned to her in alarm what he saw left him blushing furiously yuno stood in the tub resembling a water lily her body completely unclothe it the fair skin graceful figure proud bosom and long snow white legs these once intimate and exquisite features were now unabashedly displayed before wongon the overwhelming impact left him momentarily stunned what a beautiful physique it was evok a desire to embrace her tenderly however upon noticing Wong tion's gaze yuno blushed deeply and quickly crouched back into the bathtub her lovely face flushed like the evening glow seemingly capable of ringing out droplets of water while her heart raced like a startled deer she dared not meet Wong tion's eyes for it was far too embarrassing how mortifying it was to have her body exposed to brother tion that wretched screen had fallen at such an inopportune moment tomorrow I shall definitely file a complaint with the inkeeper she thought hiding in the bathtub too shy to face anyone it was only then that wongon realized his rudeness and hurriedly turned away I had no idea you were bathing shiao I will leave at once he said nervously before attempting to exit only to be stopped by yunio Brother tion you need not leave just prop the screen back up she replied her face still flushed with embarrassment with the screen in place wongon would no longer be able to see her in her state of undress all right then I shall go and fix the screen immediately he replied somewhat anxious as he walked over to prop it up quickly turning his head away afterward all right shout shio I have propped the screen back up I saw it yuno's head peaked out from the bathtub and upon confirming the screen was indeed upright she let out a sigh of relief however it seemed somewhat translucent if one stared closely they could still vaguely discern a silhouette through the screen yunio could make out Wong tion's back brother tion would not dare to look at me would he she pondered her cheeks of flame before cautiously climbing out of the bathtub and carefully drying herself with a towel after donning a wrap and then changing into a pink night gown made of silk that hugged her figure perfectly she emerged wongon still turned away from yunio struggled to maintain his composure yet images of her emerging from the water lingered in his mind the Exquisite form igniting a sense of restlessness within him I cannot dwell on this any longer he muttered to himself shaking his head and using his dragon energy to force calmness upon himself yet the memory of yuno's enchanting silhouette persisted shiao I'm ready yunio shyly announced as she stepped out from behind the screen her face still adorned with a Rosy Hue her eyes cast downward avoiding Wong tion's gaze entirely shiao it is getting late you should rest now I will step outside for some fresh air Wong tion said hurriedly before rushing out of the room fearing that remaining with yunio for any longer would prove too tempting after all he was merely a man and in the face of such Exquisite Allure who could resist having already compromised yuno's Purity once he could not afford to do so a second time thus he needed to step outside to regain his composure brother tion it's cold outside yuno watched as Wong tion dashed out her lips parting in a silent expression of regret as she ultimately resigned herself to watching him disappear from her view alone in her bed yunio found sleep elusive tossing and turning as her thoughts lingered on her brother tion surely he hasn't gone to find his Junior sister the more she thought the more despondent she became fortunately in the dead of night Wong tion returned quietly which eased yuno's worries yet she did not turn around instead she closed her eyes figting sleep over time she gradually drifted off early the next morning Hong in excitedly arrived having exerted considerable effort the previous night to bring yunio and wongon together hoping that the latter would be irresistibly drawn to yuno's enchanting form AR shiao is so beautiful with such a fine figure even a blockhead would be unable to resist her Allure Hong in mused however reality proved otherwise as yunio emerged from her room yawning how did it go last night shouto being alone with that young Master did he not take advantage of you Hing inquired eagerly her face brimming with curiosity. no brother tion spent the entire night in meditation yuno replied shaking her head head what the entire night in meditation no way he saw your body and had no reaction ponging exclaimed nearly losing her composure too spend the night with the capitals most beautiful maiden and only meditate it was enough to drive her mad how do you know he saw my body yunio sharp witted as ever seemed to piece things together that screen last night was knocked over by you wasn't it I found it strange that it would fall over for no reason that's not the point the important thing is did that young master truly have no reaction upon seeing your form ponging gazed intently at yuno unwilling to believe that a man could remain unaffected by such beauty well there was a reaction yunio replied thoughtfully what kind of reaction did he rush over and embrace you ponging asked eagerly no he ran outside for some fresh air yuno answered earnestly what he left you this stunning Beauty to go blow fresh air outside hongying was nearly dumbfounded was there truly a man in the world so indifferent to Beauty he can't be lacking in that department can he how else could he remain unmoved after seeing your stunning form sister hunging please don't jump to conclusions his strength is formidable how could he possibly be lacking yuno explained her cheeks flushed she recalled how won's eyes had widened upon seeing her though she could not fathom why he had chosen to step outside afterward perhaps he has someone he likes which is why he showed no interest in me she added a hint of disappointment evident in her eyes he has someone he lik likes it couldn't be that little servant girl could it Hing suddenly had a thought we must test him or even confess our feelings to see how he reacts chapter 67 for this matter to succeed hunging must arrange a private Table after a night of meditation Wong tion felt rejuvenated and ready for action upon leaving the Inn he intended to gather information about the auction at the reward Tower only to find that hanging had already made arrangements no need to go I've already had our identities registered we can participate in the auction tonight as the Pure Heaven Pearl will be the grand finale Hong stated decisively Wong tion admired her efficiency sister hongying do you know who else will be competing for the Pure Heaven Pearl he inquired believing that knowing one's Rivals was essential for Success from the information I have several parties are interested in the Pure Heaven Pearl but the notable ones are ban sect jingis and wui ponging replied after a brief pause her brow furrowed each of them possesses substantial resources making it quite challenging to secure the from them indeed it will be somewhat difficult Wong tion acknowledged recognizing the formidable nature of these second tier sections alone he possessed only the dragon Stone but that was insufficient against an entire sect don't not worry I have a way to obtain the Pure Heaven pearl without spending a single coin ponging said with a mysterious smile what method Wong tion asked intrigued patience you will find out tonight hunging teased before suggesting let us have breakfast first and then visit the shien new Temple in hanang City it is said that the temple is quite effective and if you pray sincerely there is a great chance your wishes will come true I ask that true Wong tion felt skeptical after all it was merely a clay statue how could it possess the power to grant wishes if that were the case he could wish for invincibility and a Haram and would the goddess truly fulfill such desires absolutely true many people have had their wishes granted if you don't believe me we can go see for ourselves ponging urged eagerly then letun go I have no plans for the day anyway Wong tion decided on the spot I'll go too yuno chimed in her face alight with anticipation as she wished to make a request of her own thus the four of them set off for the shien new Temple after breakfast the temple lay to the east of hanyang city and even from a distance wongon could see crowds hurrying toward it comprising people of all ages and genders some sought love others children some health and others Marshall prowess each person wore an expression of devotion there are so many people is the shin new Temple truly that miraculous wongon was taken aback I told you the Shen new Temple is extraordinary let me find a few people to ask and you will believe hunging smiled as she searched the crowd she soon spotted an elderly woman carrying a basket of vegetables and hurried over to her excuse me ma'am could you tell me if the Shen new Temple is effective of course it's effective my daughter-in-law couldn't conceive for 8 years but after I took her to the Shen new Temple last year she became pregnant within a month just a few days ago she gave birth to a healthy boy I'm here to express my gratitude the woman replied excitedly you see I told you it was effective if you still don't believe I can find more people for you in order to convince Wong tion of the efficacy of the shin new Temple Hing promptly scanned the crowd and beckoned several individuals to join her please share your experiences with my brother regarding the miraculous powers of the Shen new Temple the group Hong and gathered comprised people of all ages and genders and upon her inquiry each recounted their stories with utmost reverence I had developed an abscess on my posterior and after Consulting numerous doctors who declared I had but a month to live I approached the shien new Temple with a mindset of desperation miraculously within a few days my Affliction vanished it was truly astonishing another chimed in I am 80 years old and have never pursued martial arts but since making a wish at the Shen new Temple last year I discovered a latent talent for martial prowess just yesterday I reached the eighth grade of Mastery the goddess truly works wonders yet another I was born unfortunate in appearance and no woman would have me however after visiting the Shen new Temple last month I encountered a beautiful woman who had fallen while descending the mountain after I tended to her injuries she pledged herself to me the multitude of such testimonies left wongon in all if only one or two people spoke thus it might be dismissed as mere coincidence however the sheer number of affirmations suggested there was veracity to their claims see I told you the Shen new Temple is indeed powerful Hong exclaimed fled her face beaming with pride Wong tion remained silent yet yunju eyes sparkled with increasing interest I believe sister Hong in is correct with so many individuals paying homage to the shin new Temple it must possess genuine efficacy she thought to herself stealing a glance at Wong tion soon the four of them arrived at the shin new Temple where a throng awaited them in line you all wait here while I check how many people are ahead Hong in declared before swiftly weaving through the crowd toward the temple that was just her nature yunju hastily defended her and Wong tion rather than being put off found her decisive manner commendable upon entering the temple ponging immediately sought out the Elder toist responsible for the drawing of lots pulling him aside she whispered in a moment I will bring two individuals one male and one female please manipulate the Lots so that they both draw the fate of destined love understood as she spoke she produced a spirit Stone from her bosom and placed it in the elders hand this is against the rules the Shen new Temple values sincerity and has never resorted to deception the Elder taist replied with righteous indignation Hong rolled her eyes and then produced three more Spirit Stones surely this will suffice such earnestness will surely yield favorable results the Elder toist conceded accepting the four stones and bowing slightly to hunging it settled then I'll return shortly with my companions after giving the Elder a pat Hong in left with satisfaction she had exerted herself to unite y andu and Wong tion and should they succeed she would host a celebratory feast in their honor once she Departed the Elder toist summoned a Young Apprentice who had just been accepted into his fold instructing him fetch two lots containers and replace all the Lots inside with those of Destin love Master why must all the Lots be the same The Apprentice asked puzzled at the notion of uniformity rendering the Lots ineffective why do you have so many questions do as I say the Elder barked Yes master I shall do so immediately The Apprentice hurried off to the Temple's back area to exchange the Lots given the Elder s frequent underhanded dealings the temple possessed an ample supply of lots containers and lots upon reaching the back The Apprentice replaced all the Lots in the two containers with those of Destin love just as he finished he felt a sudden Pang in his stomach oh my stomach hurts I must relieve myself he muttered placing the containers down and rushing to the latrine while he was occupied another Young Apprentice arrived and unknowingly took the swapped containers with numerous identical containers and lots in the back area this Apprentice was unaware that he had chosen the very Lots meant for the previous exchange when the first Apprentice returned from his relief his master was there to greet him have you completed the lot exchange the Elder toist asked anxiously knowing Hong and as friends were soon to arrive Yes master The Apprentice replied bringing forth the two containers before relieving himself he had positioned the swapped containers at the Forefront so he believed there would be no error you are so slow the Elder grumbled as he took the containers and left in a huff at a tea that moment it was Wang tion and yunju turn to draw Lots young Master tion Miss XU the most potent aspect of the shien new Temple is the lot drawing why not give it a try Hong in eagerly suggested sure yunju nodded eager to seek love if they both drew the fate of love it would be perfect I might as well try wongon thought feeling it was worth a shot upon seeing their agreement Hong in Signal the Elder toist the approached with the two containers dear visitors these are your Lots containers hold them tightly shake them vigorously and make your wishes until you draw a lot the Elder explained the rules in detail both wongon and yunju nodded in unison and began to shake their containers together as yunju wished silently Wong tion approached it with a casual mindset soon two lots fell simultaneously from their respective containers chapter 68 yunju Pursuit as the Lots landed both wongon and yunju ceased they shaking the lots are drawn yunju exclaimed her eyes gleaming with anticipation as she picked up her lot which read in Heaven We Wish to Be winged Birds wongon also retrieved his which stated on Earth we wish to be intertwined branches this is a lot of love Wong tion instinctively glanced at yunju lot and she reciprocated their eyes locking on the contents simultaneously on Heaven We Wish to Be winged Birds on Earth we wish to be intertwined branches this is surely a Union before the Elder could interpret the lot Hong in errupted with excitement secretly thinking the Elder was indeed reliable her arrangements had not gone arai after reading the verse twice yunju felt a surge of Joy recognizing it as a clear indication that she and Wong tion were meant to be together Wong tion however found the coincidence remarkable to randomly draw a destined love lot was too uncanny he intended to check the remaining Lots when the Elder toist preemptively snatched them away congratulations your lots are destined love Lots signifying that you were meant to be together in your previous life the Elder proclaimed seizing yunu container to conceal any possible exposure of his scheme hearing that they were destined to be together from a past life made yuna's heart swell with joy though she maintained a calm facade elder brother tion this may not be accurate you need not concern yourself with it she gently reassured fearing Wong tion might not appreciate the drawn love lot how could I not care this is a Divine arrangement I that significant Hing had exerted considerable effort to orchestrate this outcome aiming to convince Wong tion of their destined love if Beauty could not sway him she would resort to this tactic a love bestowed by the heavens is indeed significant won thought still in disbelief at the sheer Serendipity of drawing a destined love lot I wish to see the other lots and draw again he declared feeling that his previous wish had not been Earnest enough and wanting to ascertain The Fortunes regarding the acquisition of the net of Heaven however Hong in interrupted him you can only draw once a day the moment she heard Wong tion's intent to inspect all the Lots her expression soured and she promptly refused signaling the Elder toist who understood her Quee indeed you can only draw once drawing multiple times will lead to inaccuracies the Elder echoed nervously aware that all the Lots were identical and fearing wongon might discover the truth yunju wise and perceptive recognized Hong stratum through their shared glance and her spirits plummeted as she realized the extent of the manipulation this was all a ploy to make wongon believe in their destined love thus fostering affection for her elder brother tion I feel a bit fatigued I wish to return yunju said her tone tinged with disappointment all right I shall accompany you Wong tion noted her change in demeanor but refrained from probing further as he watched them depart the Elder toist secretly breathed a sigh of relief that was close I nearly exposed myself he patted his chest grateful that his four Spirit Stones were safe just then a Young Apprentice rushed in breathless master master there was a mixup with the two lots containers he exclaimed looking frantic. a mixup how could that be the visitors were quite pleased with their Lots the Elder said patting The Apprentice on the shoulder proud of him it truly was a mixup the containers I prepared were taken away by a senior Apprentice causing the impoverished scholar and the 80-year-old lady to draw the destined love Lots the young tost in a state of urgency wiped the sweat from his brow IAS this really happening the Elder tost felt a surge of panic and promptly glanced at the two divination sticks in his hand to his relief they were indeed ordinary sticks not the Fateful love ties he had dreaded this led him to wonder if the couple he had seen earlier had truly drawn the Fateful love ties the thought left him astonished the odds of drawing such a tie were astoundingly slimed a te the same time a sense of dread washed over him had that couple not drawn the Fateful love ties he would not only have lost his four Spirit Stones but his very life might have been at stake for he had sensed the formidable Aura of the girl in red Upon returning from the shin new Temple to the Inn yunio sought out Hing immediately sister Hing it was you who orchestrated the Divination at the temple wasn't it and those Elder gentlemen and ladies you arranged for them to pose as patrons didn't you yunio fixed her Gaze on Hong in who felt a wave of embarrassment under her scrutiny you've seen through me but you must understand I did this for your own good look with the Fateful love tie as your backing others will undoubtedly see you as a couple even if that young Master is skeptical over time he will gradually come to believe that you two are meant for each other Hong in recognizing yuno's intelligence chose not to argue but instead began to persuade her but deception is still deception yunio found it hard to accept such tactics regardless of its authenticity at least it lets the Little Junior sister know that you two are a destined pair and that essay victory in itself ponging concluded I in her view no matter the method of pursuit the more one tried the more likely the other would eventually develop feelings for yuno with a sigh yunio acknowledged that while she understood Hong Ying's intentions were benevolent she still felt uncomfortable however thoughts of that extraordinarily beautiful little Junior sister made her inexplicably anxious perhaps Hong ining was right no matter the approach there would come a day when tion gu would come to favor her as Knight descended led by Hing Wong tion yunio and the Little Junior sister swiftly made their way to the Bounty building this establishment was the largest auction venue in the 12 cities of the Eastern continent of the daian dynasty attracting numerous cultivators who often bid extravagantly for rare Treasures sometimes even resorting to violence thanks to Hong Ying's prior arrangements wongon and his companions gained entry with ease the Bounty building sparkled with golden splendor resembling a dazzling gem radiating brilliant light its architectural style was unique steeped in Rich cultural Essence the walls were adorned with exquisite gems and ornate reliefs immersing visitors in a dreamlike realm as they ascended to the auction Hall on the third floor Wong tion felt an unsettling sensation as if a pair of eyes were fixated on him akin to a wolf stalking its prey yet when he turned to investigate he found nothing a Miss what's wrong tangu yuno noticed Wong Tonk unease it's strange I have this feeling of being watched he replied furrowing his brow perhaps it's just your nerves yunio offered in consolation maybe wongon scanned the surroundings again but finding nothing out of the ordinary he let it go meanwhile in a shadowy room within the Bounty building Jang ba the grand Elder of lho mountain hid nervously behind the window barely daring to breathe he had been watching Wong tion through the Gap his eyes filled with hatred despite his distance Wong tion had sensed his gaze and Jang ba was fortunate to have concealed himself swiftly where he might have been discovered on less than a month this young man had Advanced to the fifth level of cultivation such rapid growth was terrifying if given a few more years he could very well become a secondly Jan sha Jang B resolved to eliminate this threat not just for personal Revenge but also to safeguard Lono Mountain from danger upon entering the auction Hall Wong tion noticed that many attendees had already gathered the circular auction Hall was filled with influential figures from various sects and families all possessing substantial wealth and the backing of their Clans competing against such powerful players for the Pure Heaven Pearl would be no small feet sister hunging you mentioned that you have a way to acquire the Pure Heaven pearl without spending a single coin is that true Wong tion suddenly recalled her earlier words. of course just don't bid when the auction begins observe instead I in the end just remember who wins the Pure Heaven Pearl ponging replied just remember who wins wongan eyes gleamed as he quickly grasped Hong Ying's intention sister hongying you can't be suggesting he left the sentence unfinished but his meaning was clear and he wholeheartedly agreed with her plan good now close your eyes and rest hunging said and surprisingly she did just that Wong tion admired her decisiveness Hong in was indeed formidable having resolved to implement this strategy he too closed his eyes to rest meanwhile yuno attentively observed each item up for auction during the first two rounds she remained calm and uninterested in the offerings however during the third round she suddenly placed a bid point1 medium gr Spirit Stones her delicate voice immediately roused wongon and Hong in from their revery and they turned to the auction stage eager to discover what treasure had caught the attention of the capitals foremost talented lady yet as they focused they realized it was hardly a treasure merely a mid-grade black Martin fur cloak with fur only on the shoulders devoid of any elsewhere Ru May why are you bid on a black Martin fur cloak it doesn't he even match your ethereal style hunging inquired puzzled that I'm buying it for Yung his black cloak seems a bit tattered so I wanted to get him a new one yuno replied earnestly done why cloak is torn I had no idea Wong tion instinctively looked at his own black cloak noticing indeed a few damaged spots likely from sword shei during his earlier adventures in the sword Pavilion of which he had been blissfully unaware tangu do you like this black Martin cloak yunio asked with genuine sincerity I suppose I like it wongon felt a warmth in his heart as he gazed at yuno's Earnest expression realizing she cared even more than he did about something he hadn't he noticed that that's all that matters yunio said as she waved to the auctioneer to raise her bit 30 medium-grade Spirit Stones though she agreed with Hong Ying's notion of pursuing someone yunio was not fond of her methods finding them insincere she believed that to win someone's heart sincerity was the Ultimate Weapon congratulations to this lovely lady for success F acquiring the black Martin cloak the auctioneer declared sending someone to present the cloak to yunio without hesitation she paid the 30 medium grade Spirit Stones and immediately offered the cloak to wangon tion go allow me to drape this over you yunio said playfully her eyes filled with affection and tenderness I'll manage it myself wongon began but yunio insisted on helping him and he ultimately acquiesced with gentle care she removed his old cloak and meticulously wrapped the New Black Martin cloak around him even tidying his clothes with utmost attention and tenderness watching yuno's considerate actions wangon felt an unexpected flutter in his heart despite having remained unaffected by yunio extraordinary beauty and the Fateful love tie in that moment of her lovingly draping the new cloak around him he realized how breathtakingly beautiful she was making him long to embrace her and cherish her all done yunio said her satisfaction evident as she admired wangon in the cloak she had purchased Wong on finally emerged from his Ry thank you little Chio he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to yunio this simple cloak held little significance she smiled lightly her smile reminiscent of flowers blooming in Spring beautiful and warm wongon caressed the black Martin cloak instantly Enchanted by it now we shall present the final item for tonight's auction the Pure Heaven Pearl starting at a bid of 10 top grade Spirit Stones Let the auction commence the auctioneer announced loudly as the words left his mouth the influential figures in the hall stirred restlessly most had come specifically to bid for the Pure Heaven Pearl within a short span the bidding escalated to 100 top grade Spirit Stones a staggering amount that Wong tion could not hope to match alone and this was not even the final figure the elite attendees vied with one another causing the bidding price to soar yet Wong tion and his companions showed no intention of joining the fry which left Jang ba who was covertly observing feeling anxious this br is andt bidding does he have some other plan Jang Ba's gaze fell on hunging garbed in red right hunging never plays by the rules it seems they too are not following the conventional path this time bring in our own people bid high for the Pure Heaven Pearl Jang B commanded loudly to one of his subordinates understood Grand Elder upon receiving his orders the subordinate set off to execute the task if you wish to play in the shadows I shall accompany you to the end and lead you all into the Trap of life and death then let us see how you survive Jang Ba's gaze was filled with a Sinister glint I in Chapter 70 the stunning debut of the little servant culminated in the celestial Pearl being sold for an exorbitant price of 300 top quality Spirit Stones with such a substantial sum of Spirit Stones Wong tion relying solely on his personal strength could hardly muster them thus the only recourse left was to pursue the hunging plan that night after leaving the Bounty house Wong tion and his companions a party of four stealthily followed a carriage under the cover of Darkness this Carriage moved with remarkable speed exiting the city in a mere quarter of an hour Vehicles were prohibited from entering or leaving the city at night however this Carriage appeared to possess privileges allowing the guards to open the gates for its passage once outside the city they would commence their actions a flicker of Cold Light flashed in Hong Ying's eyes though she was strikingly beautiful she was ruthlessly efficient when it came to executing her plans Wong tion nodded sensing something am Miss as the carriage ahead began to slow down after leaving the city something felt off instinctively Wong tion drew the Jean sien sword from his system space bracing for any unforeseen circumstances it seemed their presence had been detected hunging furrowed her brow summoning a crimson spear that blazed with flames at its tip resembling a dancing fire Phoenix yunju and the little servant also readed themselves for confrontation under the Moonlight The Carriage ultimately came to a halt before a lake from which two middle-aged men disembarked one was burly muscular and bore a frightening Visage while the other appeared somewhat refined exuding a menacing Aura welcome to your Graves you for do not pursue us the refined man declared hands casually clasped behind his back exuding an air of calm confidence as if everything was under his control our Graves such bravado I advise you to hand over the celestial Pearl or this place shall become your final resting ground Hong in retorted stepping forward and pointing her Phoenix spear at the two men Flames erupting from its tip Hong in you are overly confident came a voice from behind Wong tanes group upon hearing it they turned to see a one-armed man accompanied by a formidable expert approaching them Jang ba jelang Wong tion instantly recognized them as the grand Elder Jang ba and the fourth Elder jelang from long who Mountain indeed it is us you shall pay with your lives for The Grudge of my severed arm Jang B bellowed in Fury you truly believe you can kill us wongon summoned Three Holy swords and nine treasured swords from his system space if it is Battle you desire then let us engage you think the 10,000 swords returning to the sect makes you impressive apologies but tonight you shall all perish Jang baun's eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he shouted brother let us strike as he spoke an eerie dazzling red light suddenly shot from the lake beside them under this strange Crimson illumination the lake seemed to boil releasing countless wisps of vapor as the vapor thickened into mist it rapidly spread outward this mist is suspicious everyone Retreat ponging sensed the danger and instinctively attempted to back away but to her horror she found her legs felt as heavy as lead unable to move what is happening why can't I lift my feet hunging exclaimed Panic Rising within her as she tried to channel her spirit energy to break free but the more she exerted the heavier the weight became I can't lift my feet either yunju face was etched with concern it appears we have fallen into a trap wongon realized observing the encroaching mist and his immobile legs indeed you have been ens snared Jang ba said with a triumphant smirk the celestial Pearl was merely bait designed to lure you into our life and death Grand formation the life and death Grand formation Hong Ying's expression shifted what is that wongon began to sense the gravity of the situation allow me to elucidate the refined man interjected calmly the life and death Grand formation is one of the three major formations of our sect of arrays it harnesses the power of mountains Waters and lakes to trap living beings and devour all that breathes even a first grade expert would find it exceedingly difficult to survive within now it makes sense why they let us here Wong tion thought though he looked at the Moon above feeling little fear as he held a trump card perfectly suited for nighttime use ridiculous life and death Grand formation there is no formation that can bind me hunging to defiently tightened her grip on the spear attempting to charge at the refined man but no matter her effort she could not free herself Hong in it is feudal once the life and death Grand formation is activated you can only wait to be consumed haha Jang Bal laughed triumphantly relishing the prospect of Revenge however he was too complacent red spear transformed into a blazing fire phoenix surging towards Jang ba the fire phoenix spread its wings revealing sharp fangs as it lunged at him with incredible speed akin to a flash of lightning reaching him in an instant Jang ba taken aback did not anticipate that Hong in despite being ens snared could still Counterattack terrified he stumbled backward attempting to evade the strike of the Phoenix Sky piercer yet the fire phoenix pursued him relentlessly as if Guided by a homing missile indeed the spear technique is formidable Jeong B thought astonished and summoned nine treasured swords to execute the nine Calamity sword formation however having lost his right arm his power had greatly diminished thus the nine calami sword formation was far less potent than before fortunately Hong in was also constrained and unable to unleash the full might of her Phoenix Sky piercer The Clash of spear and sword erupted in the air generating astonishing energy sword energy and Flames exploded outward rendering both unable to gain the upper hand breathless ponging gazed at Jang ba in the distance her eyes filled with frustration this was the first time time she felt powerless and desponded H ponging cease your struggle simply await your demise and you ton Wong yju you shall all perish Jang ba cackled maniacally as if to vent all his previous grievances yet he rejoiced too soon a chilling light suddenly flickered before him followed by a cold sensation in his chest when he looked down he was horrified to find a glimmering sword pierced through his chest wielded by an enchanting woman clad in a flowing green dress h how is this possible why you can defy The Binding of the life and death Grand formation Jang baun's face was a mask of shock and confusion and he coughed up blood ey in chapter 71 the little servant's personal showcase unfolded this unexpected turn of events astounded everyone present particularly Jang ba who had believed that the life and death Grand formation had ens snared all of Wang tion's group leading him to become overly confident and unaware of the little servants actions the sword pierced through Jang Ba's chest blood gushing forth Yu how can you be unaffected by the formation he gasped Terror etched across his face as he struggled to comprehend the situation blood escaping his lips what formation I feel nothing the little servant replied coldly retracting the sword before delivering a powerful kick to Jang Ba's chest sending him flying hundreds of meters away his body traced a perfect parabolic Arc in the night sky before crashing heavily to the Ground grand Elder jelang shouted in alarm rushing towards him meanwhile the refined middle-aged man Jang how upon witnessing his younger brother Gravely injured was filled with shock and fury how dare you be so arrogant within my formation die jangha lifted an array sword chanting incantations as countless wisps of mist surged towards the little servant be careful yunju Cried Out anxiously despite the little servants appearance instilling a sense of crisis in yunju she did not wish for her Junior sister to come to harm especially since they were all in this together fear not Junior sister will be fine Wong tion reassured remaining calm as he recalled that the little servant was a mechanical puppet devoid of breath rendering her immune to the effects of the life and death Grand formation young Master tion how can the little servant be unaffected by the life and death Grand formation Hong in finally voiced her curiosity perhaps her strength is extraordinary Wong tion replied a slight smile gracing his lips he was not withholding the truth from Hong in but rather he feared revealing the little servants true identity in case their adversaries overheard and devised countermeasures to be unaffected by the life and death Grand formation what level of strength must one possess hunging mused feeling she knew little of her rival as the Mist encroached the little servant Advanced rather than retreating gripping her sword and charging straight toward Jang how her speed was remarkable akin to a phantom leaving behind a trail of green after images as she dove into the Mist how dare you breach the mist of the life and death Grand formation you seek death janga's eyes glimmered with cold malice as countless wisps of mist adhered to the little servants form akin to leech's sucking Vitality from a host however the little servant being a mechanical puppet possessed no life force rendering The Mists efforts feudal unfazed she continued to Traverse the Mist at Breakneck speed transforming into a streak of green light and moments later she stood before jangha with a swift motion a beam of Sword light surged towards xang ha's neck fortunately the latter had been vigilantly observing sha and at a critical moment managed to narrowly evade the deadly strike a sense of unease washed over him as he pondered what manner of creature are you devoid of any malice it dawned on Jang how that he was confronted by an unrestrained Master of the first rank a formidable presence that completely unraveled their meticulously laid plans I am a monster you cannot contend with shiau declared her anger palpable as she retaliated against those who dared to plot against her master she wielded her sword with unyielding Precision unleashing a torrent of Sword energy towards jangha despite janga's own prowess being at the first rank his strengths lay primarily in his Mastery of formations rendering him relatively weak in direct combat Chang wo jangha shouted in desperation overwhelmed by the onslaught I in the blink of an eye a sword light emerged from behind XA new striking her back the asent was none other than the Burly middle-aged man a second rank expert as Jang how witnessed this Elation surged within him a full force strike from a second rank master would surely incapacitate her it he last success he rejoiced believing they were on the verge of vanquishing shiau however to his astonishment shiau showed no signs of injury instead she turned her head a full 180° retaliating with a swift thrust aimed directly at Chong Wu as heart Chong Wu caught off guard by her bizarre maneuver fell victim to her surprise attack the the strange Twist of her head and the unconventional reverse thrust were not actions one would associate with a mere human she she is not human Chang Wu gasped Terror flickering in his eyes as he coughed up blood proving with his life that XA new was indeed something Beyond Comprehension correct I am not human xunu replied with an eerie Smile as Chang Wu body slowly crumpled to the ground jangha witnessing this scene up close was gripped by sheer Terror you you are a mechanical puppet he finally realized you are correct as well consider it your reward shiau said swiftly severing Chong Wu head from his body and sending it flying in janga's direction as the grotesque trophy hurdled toward him jangha is momentarily paralyzed with fear though he quickly regained his composure you are indeed a mechanical puppet but you have your weaknesses you cannot replenish your spiritual energy after that bout you must have exhausted a considerable amount yes I wonder how long you can endure before you become nothing more more than scrap metal jangha taunted retrieving a spiritual pill from his robes preparing for an extended confrontation I in his estimation while the mechanical puppet might possess formidable abilities It ultimately remained a consumable artifact once its energy was depleted it would become nothing more than a pile of useless metal yet again he was destined to miscalculate then let us see who can Outlast the other the first to deplete their spiritual energy shall face a most gruesome fate Sha said with a Sinister smile reminiscent of a terrifying cackle she often made when first encountering wongon this time however she restrained herself for her master had expressed a dislike for such laughter let us see how long you can hold out jangha asserted brimming with confidence as he engaged shiau in a battle of attrition after several exchanges it became evident that Shaun new as combat capabilities had diminished her strike slower than before reinforcing jangha belief that victory was imminent very well if I can just hold on a little longer Victory will be mine he thought feeling Triumph was Within Reach however a sudden burst of white light erupted from Sha new head drawing in an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy I in an instant her battle prowess surged even more formidable than before xia new spiritual energy visibly replenished at an astonishing rate her Aura intensifying jangha stood Frozen in disbelief how is this possible a mechanical puppet can regenerate its spiritual energy he was incredulous having never heard of such a phenomenon his plan to exhaust shiau was now feudal as he remained in shock shiau had nearly fully restored her energy I'm going in for another round she declared with a Sinister smile gripping her long sword and charging at Jang how like a spectral entity in the night her movements as graceful as a swallow and as Fierce as a leopard each swing of her sword laced with lethal intent returning to his senses jangha knew he could not afford to waver he gripped his sword tightly constantly adjusting his stance to counter her Relentless assault his gaze was as steadfast as a rock fully aware that any lapse in concentration could result in sha newest blade piercing his heart The Clash of their weapons created a dazzling display akin to a breathtaking performance their figures entwined in a dance of life and death XA new's sword struck like a Viper seeking out janga's vulnerabilities while xang house sword roared like a fierce tiger descending with unmatched ferocity as their battle intensified it seemed as though the very night would ignite from their ferocity however as time passed Jang haun's spiritual energy began to wne his sword strikes losing their Vigor while Shia new's Onslaught grew increasingly ferocious for she had activated her energy replenishment mode during the fight after forcing shiau back once more jangha found himself gasping for breath his spiritual energy nearly depleted I can't believe I'm being bested by a mere mechanical puppet he thought incredulous that a master of formations at the the first rank could not Outlast a puppet are you finished already you promis to exhaust me you can't give up now shiau taunted tightening her grip on her sword as she charged at jangha once more her assault as Fierce as ever jangha however was at the end of his rope any further engagement would surely lead to his defeat and he realized Escape was impossible with a Steely resolve he swallowed a crimson pill instantly an overwhelming surge of power coursed through him as though his very being were on the brink of explosion his strength skyrocketed his pupils transforming into fiery red orbs radiant and blinding instilling fear in all who dared gaze upon him his Aura surged like a tiger descending from the mountains commanding dominance as if the world lay beneath his feet the heat radiating from his body seemed capable of melting anything in its path I asked this the effect of the mid-grade Crimson blood pill far more potent than I anticipated jangal mused satisfied with his Newfound strength yet Ware that the explosive effects of the pill would last only a brief period once it waned he would be left vulnerable an easy target for his foes thus he launched into a Relentless offensive forsaking defense and his desperate bid to annihilate his opponent as their blades clashed again shiau found herself forced into a defensive stance overwhelmed by janga's ferocious assault point9 slashes jangha growing impatient from the prolonged struggle Unleashed his ultimate technique typically he could manage only seven consecutive slashes but under the influence of the Crimson blood pill he surpassed his limits executing nine slashes in Rapid succession the air crackled with energy as nine arcs of Sword light erupted forth each more potent than the last akin to Nine Dragons breaking the surface of the sea their might overwhelming shiau fought valiantly to defend herself but after withstanding the first seven strikes she faltered against the eighth which breached her defenses and struck her chest leaving a gaping wound the ninth slap imbued with unparalleled ferocity cleaved through her midsection sending her crashing to the ground jangha witnessing his desperate gamble payoff exhaled and reliefed at T last I have slain her she was indeed a formidable opponent thank goodness I had the Crimson blood pill on hand otherwise I would have been the one to perish yet his Elation was premature just as he allowed himself to relax a sword shot forth from the ground at an oblique angle hurtling towards him with deadly intent the effects of the Crimson blood pill had just faded leaving Jang how utterly exhausted and unable to react to the sudden threat with a sickening thud the sword pierced his chest Crimson blood gushing from the wound impossible Shia still alive jangha gasped shocked as he looked down at the severed xunu lying on the ground I told you I am not human how can you judge me by human standards shunu replied with a Sinister grin as her split form began to merge before his very eyes reconstituting itself at a Remar arable speed you can actually regenerate your body jangha fell into despair all mechanical puppets in the tianen continent were incapable of such Feats as the techniques and materials for body Reconstruction had been lost centuries ago this was precisely why jangha had believed that sing sha new would secure his victory however the diminutive servant before him was evidently a true monstrosity capable not only of self-replenishment but also of reshaping its corporeal form such a level of mechanized puppet far surpassed the combat prowess of an ordinary first tier expert it had already been stated I am a monster after merging its body the servant Rose once more the expended spiritual energy rapidly replenishing jangha observing the servant approach him step by step was finally engulfed by a sense of dread and impending doom you are indeed formidable but should I perish I shall take your friends down with me he laughed maniacally a torrent of fresh blood surging from his mouth before he collapsed lifelessly the servant strike had found its Mark and janga's endurance had already proven remarkable soon after he lay motionless on the ground devoid of Life following janga's demise the Mist within the formation ceased its pursuit of the servant and began to disperse outward this is bad the master is in Peril the servant thought sensing the unfavorable turn of events and swiftly returned to wongon side upon seeing the servants return the group was filled with relief Junior sister what transpired Wong t on inquired with concern previously the Mist had obscured their view of the battle between the servant and jangha making it difficult to discern the details both of them have been slain by my hand but it seems the formation has gone ay the Mist is spreading outward and if it touches a person it will siphon their life force the servant replied Gravely Wong tion also noted the encroaching mist yunju and hanging shared similar expressions of concern they remained unable to move while the Mist hastened towards them brother tion what should we do now yunju delicate face was etched with anxiety servant where are the bodies of those two experts from the formation sect wongon appeared to have devised a plan over there the servant pointed in a particular direction this is the only course of action we have left Wong tion glanced at the sky and then retrieved the moon Fox Pearl from his spatial inventory to ey in the next moment his figure vanished from sight chapter 73 extracting the essence of the formation under the Moonlight Wong tion utilized the teleportation skill of the Moon Fox Pearl instantly appearing beside the corpse of a second tier expert this body belonged to a corpulent second tier expert the fourth Elder of the formation sect who had been quite close to jangha having been summoned to assist that very night only to meet an untimely death his head was missing without hesitation Wong tion crouched down and reached for the Headless corpse ding congratulations to the host for acquiring a groundlevel corpse obtaining the eye of the formation with the systems voice echoing a surge of formation energy coursed through Wong tion's body allowing him to see the formation core the moment he concentrated this energy in his eyes Mastery of formation techniques required a deep understanding of the eye of the formation indeed with the eye of the formation he could discern the center of this life and death array but merely possessing the eye would not suffice to break or control the formation Wang tion swiftly recalled janga's corpse since he had orchestrated the life and death array the key could only be found on him utilizing the teleportation skill of the Moon Fox Pearl Wong tion instantaneously arrived at Jang house corpse and immediately reached for it ding congratulations to the host for acquiring a groundlevel corpse obtaining the essence of 72 formations as the systems voice faded Wong tion's mind was suddenly flooded with the essence of 72 Advanced formations detailing their Arrangements required materials leveraging techniques and their potency among them was also the life and death array which sparked Wong tion's interest excellent with the essence of the life and death array I can control this formation with this thought Wong tion teleported to the edge of the lake the core of the life and death array lay within this body of water by mastering the core he could exert control over the entire formation 10 m beneath the water surface was the arras center yet Jang How likely Left Behind protective energies for it Wong tion glanced at the Mist which was rapidly approaching yunju and Hong in and without hesitation he teleported 10 m underwater indeed indeed there lay a strikingly alluring red formation Stone pulsating rhythmically like a human heart surrounding this Stone was a small protective array constructed from Spirit Stones designed to safeguard the formation Stone this is the core if I destroy this red Spirit eaing Stone the life and death array will become ineffective halfway through this thought he suddenly reconsidered if he could extract the red Spirit eating Stone intact it would also render the life and death array ineffective now with the eye of the formation and mastery over 72 formation Arrangements possessing this Spirit eing Stone would allow him to deploy the life and death array at will significantly enhancing his combat capabilities furthermore as one of the three major arrays of the formation sect the life and death array was extraordinarily formidable even first tier experts would find themselves at the mercy of its grasp K claimed this Spirit eing Stone he first needed to dismantle the surrounding protective array Wong tion summoned the Excalibur of the Immortals forcefully dismantling the protective array would only accelerate the life and death arrays consumption of yunju and Hong Ying so to dismantle the protective array without provoking the spirit eating Stone he had to proceed with caution fortunately Wong tion was now Adept in the life and death array BW methodically dismantling the Spirit Stones of the protective array in a specific sequence he could quietly dismantle it time was of the essence otherwise yunju and Hong in would not hold out much longer Wong tion gripped the Excalibur tightly and struck at one of the spear Spirit Stones within the protective array a blade of energy sliced through instantly shattering the spirit Stone diminishing the protective arrays power without triggering a backlash from the spirit eating Stone Wong tion exhaled in relief it seemed the essence of formations he had acquired was genuinely effective after the first successful strike the subsequent dismantling was much smoother within a few breaths the protective array was nearly obliterated with the protective array gone the red Spirit eating Stone was fully exposed before Wong tion's eyes excellent this Spirit eaing stone is mine Wong tion bent down to grasp the stone hastily stowing it away in his spatial inventory without pausing to examine it closely with the spirit eating Stone removed the life and death array became immediately ineffective simultaneously the vast expanse of mist had already encroached upon yunju and Hong Ying should it Advance another inch their life forces would be consumed both yunju and hunging had succumbed to despair but at that moment the Mist halted its advance and rapidly retreated back to the lake are those Mists retreating Hong and gazed in disbelief it appears they truly are retreating I can move again yanju flexed her limbs a surge of relief flooding her heart indeed how wonderful we have survived Hing exclaimed her excitement palpable though typically decisive she too was susceptible to fear in the face of death and the prospect of survival was exhilarating where's brother tion yunju immediately began searching for Wang tion and I am here Wong tion materialized before her promptly stowing away the Moon Fox Pearl brother tion where did you go just now how were you able to move within the life and death array and what about the servant sister yunju inquired her face brimming with curiosity hunging shared her Intrigue the life and death array was lethally perilous for living beings even first tier experts held it in trepidation yet somehow the servant and Wong tion had traversed it with ease even vanquishing its architect Perhaps it is is because our shushan disciples possess a unique Constitution Wong tion offered opting not to elaborate further as revealing the servants nature as a mechanized puppet was not yet prudent the current servant was his hidden card exposing her would turn her into a Target leaving him at a disadvantage I ask that so ponging seemed unconvinced but she refrained from probing further she respected the boundaries of others privacy regardless thank you both for your timely rescue tonight be why the way we have yet to retrieve the pure Sky Pearl suddenly Hong in recalled something and dashed towards Jang House's corpse crouching down she began to search frantically finally noticing the spatial ring on Jong haun's hand which she quickly snatched the pure Sky Pearl must be inside this after probing with her spiritual energy she indeed found the pure Sky Pearl I found it the pure Sky Pearl is indeed on him ponging exclaimed exhilaration evident as she retrieved the Pearl from the spatial ring nine materials at last we have found the first WTI on breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the pure Sky Pearl after all the effort and near-death experiences it was gratifying that his Endeavors had not been in vain but once again I humbly request a five-star review dear readers please remember to leave your feedback after finishing chapter 74 a narrow encounter Upon returning to the chilin Pavilion Yun jongi hosted a lavish banquet to welcome W tion and the others young Master tion congratulations on acquiring the pure Sky Pearl I raised my glass to you Yun jongi declared lifting his cup in salute to Wong tion who reciprocated the gesture this is all thanks to the information provided by Pavilion Master Yun otherwise I would not have known where to find the pure Sky Pearl it was our duty to assist compared to Young Master tion's selfless Rescue of our chilin Pavilion our contribution pales in significance Yun jongi expressed his gratitude to Wang tandai in the past when the chilin Pavilion was besieged by the lungu mountain no faction or individual was willing to extend a helping hand they all kept their distance only w Keon ventured forth alone to rescue The chilin Pavilion out of gratitude for this kindness Yun jongi vowed never to forget it throughout his lifetime brother tion I raise a glass in your honor yunio said lifting her cup towards Wong tion her beautiful eyes shimmering with a hint of subtle affection cheers wongon reciprocated feeling a burgeoning fondness for the gentle yunio after their recent journey to hanang city as the rry continued a subordinate hurriedly approached Whispering something in Wong tan ear really Yun xunzi exclaimed his excitement palpable upon hearing the news the subordinate nodded in confirmation this exchange piqued the Curiosity of those present but Wong tion refrained from probing further as it pertained to the Affairs of the chilin Pavilion after dismissing his subordinate Yun jongi turned to Wong tion with an expression full of excitement young Master tion we have news about the jingshen Lotus D have you located the jingshen Lotus where is this treasure wongon inquired both astonished and elated never expecting such Swift news about a second material just now our Scouts discovered that this year s Ching competition in the capital offers the Jing Xin Lotus as the grand prize Yin jongi stated gravely. the ching-long competition about to commence Wong ton being a native of the capital naturally understood the significance of this event initially the Ching competition was exclusive to the younger members of the royal family who cultivated dragon energy but as the Royal lineage dwindled its scope expanded to Encompass the entire capital any individual in the capital age between 16 and 25 could participate those who performed exceptionally well would attract the attention of various factions with the top three receiving personal commendations and rewards from the emperor himself indeed the ching-long competition will begin in half a month and the grand prize includes the jingshen Lotus Yun jongi confirmed although aware of the grand prize wongon was encumbered by his current predicament and lacked the strength to reveal his identity as the sixth Prince thus rendering him unable to participate in the ching competition as for entering as a disciple of shushan that was even less feasible for shushan was not located in the capital and he had no standing to compete in this event rest assured Pavilion master I will participate in this year's ching-long competition and secure the jingshen Lotus Hong declared stepping forward knowing Wong tion status as a disciple of shushan rendered him ineligible at25 she was perfectly position to enter the competition having nearly faltered during the mission to acquire the genon Pearl she was determined to redeem herself by obtaining the jingshen Lotus with Hong s involvement the chances of success were exceedingly High Yun jongi had unwavering faith in her abilities having reached the third tier at the age of 25 and wielding the unparalleled Phoenix Nirvana spear technique she was undoubtedly qualified to claim victory in the ching-long competition I want to participate too yino suddenly stood up her gentle watery gaze now filled with determination sister Cho you are still at the fifth tier and lack combat experience my participation is sufficient Hing urged concerned for yuno's safety in such a perilous competition Cher do not act recklessly Yun jongi advised equally wary of his daughter s safety reminding her that the Ching long competition was rif with talented opponents a girl like yunio who favored the Arts over Marshall prowess would struggle to place and might even sustain injuries no I will participate I will sign up tomorrow yuno insisted her resolve unwavering perhaps let little Chio give it a try her musical Talent is quite remarkable wongon remarked sensing her determination and passion reflected in her eyes very well but let it be known that if you find it too challenging you must withdraw promptly the rules of the ching-long competition are strict and fatalities are not uncommon Yun jongi cautioned his concern evident all participants implicitly signed a death waiver upon entering the competition bearing sole responsibility for their fate thank you Father yunio replied cheerfully her gaze instinctively drifting towards wangon observing her unusual affection towards Wang tion Yun jongi sees the opportunity to suggest young Master tion this evening marks the annual Temple fair in the capital why not stay and enjoy the festivities after dinner his intentions were clear he did not oppose His Daughter s budding relationship with Wong tion even facilitating their time together yes brother tion the temple fair is delightful filled with many delicious treats and entertaining activities I can show you around yino exclaimed suddenly recalling the festivities and inviting wongon to join her young Master tion this Temple fair is a rare occasion occurring once a year let us go Hong interjected seizing Wong Ton's hand and leading him away before he could refuse truly a capable Matchmaker Wong tion did not resist eager to experience the fair himself as the sun dipped below the Horizon the East Street of the capital buzzed with life lined with an array of enticing street food and peculiar trinkets lanterns riddles and fireworks added to the Lively atmosphere after being pulled out by by Hing shiau followed but Hong in perceiving her as a third wheel concocted an excuse to whisk her away granting yunio and wongon a chance to be alone together yunio felt a surge of Joy within her though their shared silence was palpable brother tion this stinky tofu is delicious let us try some she exclaimed her eyes lighting up at the sight of the delicacy absolutely Wong ton reached for his purse only to be halted by yunio tonight I shall treat you enjoy yourself and have a wonderful evening she declared with a radiant smile that bloomed like a flower in that case I graciously accept Wong tion felt at ease in yuno's company her enchanting Beauty captivating him after purchasing the stinky tofu yuno promptly skewered a piece and offered it to Wong tion brother tion please have a taste this stinky tofu is truly delightful her gentle sparkling eyes Shone with anticipation instinctively Wong tion opened his mouth to sample it immediately enveloped in its rich flavor delicious though he had eaten stinky tofu many times before none could compare to this experience perhaps due to yuno's personal touched I it not tasty does shushan have stinky tofu she inquired her laughter ringing like music indeed but none compared to yours wongon replied earnestly just as yuno's cheeks flushed with delight and she prepared to guide Wang tion to sample more Delicacies a familiar yet mocking voice pierced through the air dto is that not the once pure talented lady why are you so chummy with with a masked man has no one else shown interest yunio why do you remain silent in my presence the taunting voice echoed again yunio clenched her delicate fists reluctantly turning to face the speaker fuchin what do you want she glared at the newcomer the very same woman who had drugged her leaving her vulnerable in the bed of the sixth Prince thereby tarnishing her reputation upon hearing that familiar voice Wong tion's expression darkened recognizing it all too well once he had en IED marrying the owner of that voice but her malicious intentions had nearly cost him his life he now felt utterly disillusioned turning to face her he was greeted by the sight of suchen clad in a striking red gown that resembled a plum blossom blooming amidst the snow vibrant yet solitary her icy demeanor was laced with mockery and disdain nothing much just happened to encounter you today and thought I would drop by to say hello suchin teased her gaze assessing wongon who wore simple attire and a mask prompting her to off I never expected the capitals Premier talented lady once sullied to resort to associating with a hideous man she assumed that anyone wearing a mask must surely be too ashamed of their appearance to show their face silence yunio trembled with rage her Purity was Paramount and to have it exposed before the man she cherished was unbearable though so being sullied makes you sensitive you are but a wilted flower now suchin relished in the opportunity to belittle yunio though both were among the capitals four great Beauties yuno's talent and Beauty had always overshadowed her fueling suchin envy. it was this jealousy that had driven her to ruin yuno's reputation by casting her into the sixth Prince's bed I command you to be silent yuno's eyes brimmed with tears as she nearly shouted in desperation her urgency stemmed from the fear that if Wong tion learned of her disgrace he would abandon her she had never cared for any man as much as she did for him and she could not bear to lose him over this you dare tell me to be quiet I shall speak even more suin reveled in Yun chunk anger deriving a twisted pleasure from her distress little Chio has asked you to cease you should listen to her Wong tion declared a fierce Aura emanating from him forcing suchin to take a step back though both suchin and Wong tion were at the fifth tier Wong tion's connection to the dragon bone and dragon soul rendered him nearly Invincible within his rank even capable of overpowering fourth tier experts without resorting to his juian sword after being pushed back suchin glared at ton her anger palpable Doo you even know who I am how dare you offend me suin beautiful features contorted with malice regardless of who you are anyone who dares to provoke shouting shall not go unpunished Wong tion's imposing AA surged forth once more rendering suchin unable to rise from her position and even the fourth Prince Wong Hong felt a hint of pressure such a formidable presence suchin was secretly alarmed she never anticipated that the person taking over Yun xia a wil flower would possess such strength how audacious to act recklessly before this Hall do they seek death the fourth Prince Wong Hong let out a cold snort and Unleashed his own dragon Aura for How could a prince be overshadowed yet despite his fourth grade cultivation he found himself at a disadvantage in terms of momentum which left him incredulous how could this be the opponent clearly possessed fifth grade prowess yet their Aura was even stronger than his Wong Hong was astounded he had cult cated Dragon Aura undefeated among those of the same realm yet here was someone a whole realm beneath him surpassing him in presence this was utterly astonishing impudent a booming voice erupted from behind the fourth Prince instantly suppressing Wong tion's Aura though it merely subdued it without imposing any real pressure with that shout a Burly bearded guard emerged XA the fourth Prince's personal protector do you think you can offend the fourth Prince do you seek death zuha was slightly taken aback to see Wong tion standing firm against his Aura after all he had reached the peak of the second grade while the other was merely fifth grade a three realm Gap the fact that Wong tion could withstand his pressure perplexed him I have stated it clearly anyone who dares to bully xiaqing shall meet their demise wongon Drew forth the zujan sword from the system space infusing it with spiritual energy derived from Dragon AA causing a resonant sword chant to pierce the heavens this sound astonished Wong Hong and the others especially XU how who seemed to recognize the sword you are the sword king of shushan jha's brow furrowed the sword King had gained Fame after a battle with the grand Elder of long hushen at Chillin Pavilion where many had witnessed him severing the arm of Jang Bao the grand Elder though Yun xia's musical prowess contributed to that Victory the overwhelming might of Wong tion's technique overshadowed her role leading the citizens to attribute the glory solely to him thus the name of the sword king of shushan spread throughout the capital indeed I the sword King Wong tion's voice was icy he had not anticipated gaining such a moniker yet he found it rather fitting his acknowledgement left Juha Wong Hong and suchin utterly stunned their gazes towards Wong tion transformed entirely a person capable of severing an arm from a first grade expert was certainly not as simple as he appeared and with the entire shushan sect backing him he was not someone to be trifled with oh it is the sword King I beg your pardon Juha retracted his oppressive Aura the fourth Prince Wong Hong had no choice but to disperse his own realizing that the individual before him was indeed the sword king of shushan a fact he had not anticipated for a top tier sect like shushan even as a fourth Prince he dared not offend them lightly you shall apologize to shaing wongon pointed the zujan sword at suchin though she was once his fiance e it was Yun xia whom Wang tion was determined to protect now what me apologized to her suchin was indignant such a proud individual could never never stooped to apologize will you apologize or not the zuan sword trembled causing suchen to shudder slightly yet her Pride compelled her to hold her ground you want me to apologize only if she can defeat me I in half a month during the Ching long competition if Yun Xiao can best me I shall bow and apologize before everyone but if she cannot then she must bear the consequences of her inadequacy very well I accept your challenge Yun xia stepped forward her fists clenched determined to win against someone for the first first time as they observed suchin and her companions depart a flicker of resentment glimmered in Yun xia's beautiful eyes she despised suchen for ruining her and for exposing her disgrace in front of the man she cherished fortunately brother tion had stood up for her driving suchin and her cohorts away thank you brother tion Yun Xiao said her eyes glistening with gratitude without Wong tion's intervention suchen would have likely escalated the situation further and she was deeply touched that he would risk offending the fourth Prince and the prime minister's daughter for her sake such a trivial matter should anyone dare to bully you in the future do not hesitate to inform me won replied earnestly his words warmed Yun shaunk heart providing a modum of Solace for the Grievances she had just endured brother ton there is something I've kept from you Yun xia spoke anxiously what is it Wong tion inquired instinctively actually I am no longer pure I was ens snared by suchin and subsequently sullied by the sixth Prince Yun hesitated for a long time mustering the courage to reveal this buried secret s she uttered those words she cast a worried glance at wongon fearful that he would reject her her hands nervously clutching the Hem of her dress seeing Yun xia's anxious and frightened demeanor Wong tion felt a Pang of compassion I understand it is all in the past from now on with me around no one will dare to bully you that he embraced you and Shout tenderly his fists clenched in determination once he became powerful he vowed to make suan on and Wong Hong pay dearly Yun xia who had been tense and anxious found solace in the warmth of his embrace it seemed that as long as brother tion was by her side she would no longer have to fear anything I in that moment she completely fell for Wong tion though she had never seen his face nor did she know if he was handsome or not she realized that regardless of his appearance she wished to be with him suddenly a magnificent firework erupted in the night sky Illuminating half of it as if it were day it dazzled like a tree of silver flowers enchanting and ethereal casting its glow over the city immersing the people in a dreamlike realm Shou Ching look such beautiful fireworks Wong tion gazed up at the stunning display noticing the full moon in the sky which reminded him that it was indeed a night of the full moon with her head nestled in Wong tion's Embrace Yun xia reluctantly shifted her gaze to the sky upon hearing his voice the beautiful fireworks dispelled the shadows in her heart bringing her a flicker of j o white so lovely I wish this moment could last forever she nestled deeper into Wong tion's arms her watery eyes reflecting The Splendid fireworks as the fireworks burst forth in resplendent Glory Yun xia discreetly retrieved a pouch from her person intending to gift it to Wong tion just then however Wong tion suddenly pushed her away xiaqing I have an important matter to attend to let me escort you home first Wong tion hurriedly prepared to return to the Royal melum previously he could only enter the dark melum on Full Moon nights to touch the Exquisite female corpse and tonight was another full moon he certainly did not want to miss this monthly opportunity all right Yin sha replied slightly dejected as she stealthily tucked the pouch back away a te the temple Fair there was a tradition where girls would gift pouches to favored young men if the recipient accepted it indicated Mutual affection while refusal suggested disinterest after accompanying Yun xia back to chilin Pavilion wongon vanished in an Yun xia stared blankly at the spot where Wong tion had disappeared when hunging rushed over brimming with curiosity do so did that y master show any interest in you I didn't manage to give him the pouch you and Shaun's eyes were filled with disappointment I created opportunities for you to be alone how could you not see such a golden chance hunging scolded exasperated he must have learned about my disgrace at the hands of the sixth Prince Yun shaunk eyes darkened suddenly sighing hunging replied this matter has spread throughout the the capital it would be hard for him not to know if he left it must mean he finds you undesirable do know he said he had something important to do and just sent me home Yun xia shook her head that's just an excuse who would openly say they find you unworthy surely ponging began but suddenly realized she had misspoken hastily correcting herself I didn't mean it like that we so exceptional if he doesn't want you that is his loss feeling that she had only made matters worse ponging watched as Yun xia's eyes filled with tears and she ran back to her room in distress seeing Yun xia in such sorrow ponging wished she could slap herself for her lack of comfort point one day I will pierce that sixth Prince with a spear she vowed silently clenching her fists back in her room Yun xia's face was already tear streak her eyes brimming with unshed tears brother tion must find me repulsive that's why he left in such haste she sat before the Bronze mirror clutching the pouch she had failed to give him tears streaming down her cheeks the more she thought about it the more hopeless she felt after all her Junior sister was so beautiful and Powerful while she had been sullied and lacked the same talent for the first time Yun xia felt a deep sense of inferiority she cried for a long while and only as Dawn approached did she finally curl up in bed falling asleep with the pouch still clutched in her hand Upon returning to the Royal tomb Wong tion immediately made his way to the innermost black melum yet despite several attempts he found himself unable to enter what could be the the reason why was entry denied tonight Wong tion gazed up at the full moon hanging in the sky convinced that the timing was appropriate but still he could not gain access and this time he felt no call from the black melum could it be unrelated to the full moon furrowing his brows in contemplation he pondered for an extended period but found no answer what after all was the secret to entering the black melum reluctantly Wong tion remained at the entrance and just as Dawn was approaching he suddenly since the Summons of the black melum it was here the feeling had returned Wong tion who had been on the verge of dozing off was instantly alert he looked up at the sky realizing Daybreak was imminent and hurriedly made his way towards the grand entrance of the black melum at that moment the doors swung open in perfect timing allowing him to enter once more indeed it seemed that only on the night of the full moon could one gain entry yet he wondered why it was so late this time with Dawn nearly upon him before before he could enter Wong tion was filled with confusion and doubt however he had no time to dwell on it for the Morning Light was drawing near and he had to seize the moment to touch the Exquisite female corpse what would he discover this time with eager anticipation he summoned the dragon energy within him and dashed towards the stunning female corpse lying upon the ice cold bed the instant he made contact the systems voice echoed once again ding congratulations host you have touched a Heavenly great corpse and have OB obtained chapter 77 do you like sister Chio ding congratulations host you have touched a Heavenly great corpse and have obtained the 10,000-year demon Pearl as the systems announcement concluded a jet black orb appeared in Wong tion system space the 10,000-year demon Pearl was this a magical artifact filled with anticipation Wong tion retrieved the 10,000-year demon Pearl from the system space and held it carefully in his palm the Pearl was as dark as ink chilling to the touch and gleamed with an Exquisite lust exuding an aura of sophistication moreover a dense black mist emanated from the orb wafting through the air like fog what purpose could this 10,000-year demon Pearl serve Wong tion attempted to infuse some dragon energy into it only to find no reaction he then tried channeling spiritual energy into it yet still met with silence as if cast into an ocean of stone evoking not a single Ripple could it be wielded as a weapon Wong tion hurled the 10,000-year demon Pearl forward but upon striking the ground it showed no response how was one to utilize this Wong tion felt that the 10,000-year demon Pearl was rather unhelpful he recognized its extraordinary nature yet remained perplexed as to how to employ it just as he found himself at a loss the thought of yunio crossed his mind the Heavenly demon zither had Unleashed cataclysmic power in her hands perhaps the 10,000-year demon Pearl would likewise reveal unexpected energy in her grasp should he let shiao Chio have a look Wong tion had always sent SED a mysterious connection between this Exquisite female corpse and yunio while he was deep in thought the doors of the black melum swung open once more and a surge of enigmatic energy expelled Wong tion from the melum however he had grown accustomed to this managing to steady himself even as he was Thrust out I in the budoir yunio lay curled up in bed drowsily asleep D in her dreams she found herself back in that Pitch Black World devoid of sight or light engulfed in an icy chill the cold wrapped around her causing her to shiver Frost forming on her delicate brows suddenly that familiar sound of footsteps echoed once more rushing towards her followed by the sensation of someone touching her thigh it was a fleeting contact yet the shame it provoked jolted yunio awake ah she gasped her Fair face glistening with sweat her body trembling uncontrollably why had she dreamed of being touched again embarrassed she bit her delicate lip already detesting the violation by the sixth Prince now to dream of such a defiling experience only deepened herself self-loathing she felt as though she was no longer pure and chased I a bid to wash away the humiliation yunio immersed herself in a bath scrubbing her body with hot water particularly her thighs but while she could cleanse her skin the shame within her heart remained untouched tears silently streamed down her cheeks es the day brightened a disheveled yunio emerged from her bath appearing quite Haggard just then her made Shia Hong rushed in miss miss someone is here to see you before the visitor even arrived xia Hong's excited voice filled the room I do not wish to see anyone yunio replied her exhaustion evident having only fallen asleep in the early hours she had been abruptly awakened by a nightmare leaving her in a foul mood then I'll go refuse young Master tion and tell him you do not wish to see him xia Hong said somewhat disappointed wait did you just say it was young Master tion looking for me yuno snapped to attention fearing she had misheard yes the one in the silver armor mask he came early this morning to find you Shia Hong confirmed earnestly Young Brother tion has come to see me why didn't you say so sooner yuno exclaimed a mix of surprise and joy flooding her however she felt disheveled with dark circles under her eyes and her hair still damp how could she possibly meet young brother tion in such a state I did say but you insisted you didn't want to see anyone xia Hong replied weakly Shia stop lingering there and help me get ready yunio urged hastily sitting before the Bronze mirror to prepare herself combing her hair applying Rouge and shaping her brows yunio was particularly meticulous in her preparations sparing no detail even retrieving the treasured golden hairpin her mother had left her before passing it held not only sentimental value but also exuded spiritual energy imparting an ethereal Aura after finishing her light makeup yunio anxiously rummaged for an outfit various skirts of different colors and fabrics lay before her Shia Hong do you think this one looks good she asked draping a blue long skirt over herself it looks beautiful miss you would look lovely in anything xia Hong replied somewhat surprised as it was the first time she had seen the Miss care so much about someone no this blue is a bit too dark I think I'll wear the white one instead yunio carefully selected a white long skirt her favorite piece once clad in the white skirt her entire demeanor transformed into one pure innocence resembling a Celestial being DOI look good she twirled before Shia Hong you look stunning you resemble a fairy descended from the heavens young Master tion will surely be enchanted by your beauty Shia Hong praed sincerely naturally beautiful yunio appeared even more enchanting after her transformation surpassing that of a fairy let us not keep Young Brother ton waiting yuno exclaimed rushing out although she had seen him just last night the absence of a single night left her yearning for him I in the hall Wong tion sat upright awaiting her arrival while Hong in stared at him intently young Master tion what do you think of our sister Cho sha Cho she is wonderful beautiful gentle and proficient in the Arts she possesses both talent and Grace Wong tion praised sincerely after spending several days with her he found yunio to be an exceptional young woman given how remarkable she is do you Harbor any feelings for her hunging pressed directly for the sake of sister chunk future she was determined to get to the bottom of things who wouldn't be drawn to such a beautiful and gentle girl Wong tion replied candidly I do not mean a mere platonic affection but rather the kind of liking a man has for a woman do you understand my meaning ponging emphasized fearing wongon might misinterpret her Wong tion hesitated momentarily at first he had felt only guilt towards yunio wishing to make amends through action however as they spent time together he realized she was not only gentle and beautiful but also made him feel comfortable and joyful shouto she just as Wong tion was about to express his feelings he was interrupted by Yun and trance young Master tion you came looking for me she declared intentionally interrupting afraid that if Wong tion confessed he did not like her the last glimmer of hope in her heart would shatter but if he did not speak she could hold on to that flicker of Hope forever chapter 78 yunio exclusive treasure yuno arrival caused wangon to instinctively turn his head today she dawned a white long skirt approaching him with an ethereal Grace akin to a Celestial being gracing the Earth her waist was as Slender as a willow her steps light as though she tread upon clouds each movement radiating an otherworldly Elegance her long hair danced in the breeze resembling luxurious silk that shimmered with an enchanting glow her Visage was breathtaking akin to a masterpiece meticulously crafted by an artist each feature in Perfect Harmony her eyes gentle as water and snared any one who dared to gaze into them her smile was captivating reminiscent of flowers blooming in Spring capable of banishing all worldly troubles there was not a single flaw upon her her beauty was breathtaking as if time itself had Frozen in reverence for her Wong tion stared momentarily entranced struck by how extraordinarily beautiful yunio appeared today so much so that it was difficult to tear his gaze away yunio young Master tion did you seek me her voice soft as water enveloped him like a gentle spring Breeze yes I did Wong tion finally regained his composure and replied earnestly do you have a secret chamber here I possess a treasure I wish to show you the 10,000-year demon Pearl was too precious to be revealed in the presence of others hence Swang tion sought a private space to share it with yunio in the secluded chamber I possess a dedicated space for cultivation and meditation inaccessible to others follow me yunio did not Ponder too deeply she was more than willing to to assist brother tion under her guidance Wong tion swiftly arrived at yuno's meditation room this chamber approximately 10 square m in size was situated underground surrounded by sturdy thick walls embedded Within These Walls were luminous night pearls Illuminating the room with a brilliant glow in the center of the chamber lay a spirit stone slab roughly the size of a grinding stone upon which yunio would sit during her cultivation to enhance her practice speed in such a confined space the presence of a solitary man and woman meant that any occurrence would remain unknown to Outsiders brother tion what treasure do you wish to show me being alone with Wong ton caused yunio to feel a rush of warmth and her heart raced at s this Wang tion retrieved the ancient magic Pearl from his system space as the Pearl emerged a black mist began to swirl and dissipate around it what is this yuno's beautiful eyes fixated on the obsidian orb igniting a sense of djvu within herit merely a black pearl could you discern its purpose for me Wong tion refrained from disclosing the Pearl's name fearing that yunio might misconstrue it as a malevolent artifact yunio intrigued by the Dark Orb felt an inexplicable connection to it carefully accepting it from Wong tion's hands she barely had time to examine it before sensing a sudden surge of spiritual energy within her bubbling to the surface brother tion this Pearl is astonishing yunio gasped her mouth agape and breath quickening it was her first encounter with such a sensation of surging spiritual energy what makes it so marvelous Wong tion inquired his curiosity peaked for he had failed to discern any remarkable quality in the magic Pearl despite his prolonged observation while yunio had recognized its peculiarity with just a touch this Pearl seems to incite my spiritual energy accelerating its Flow by tenfold at the very least yunio was both astonished and elated such a rapid circulation of energy equated to a significant enhancement in her cultivation speed this was without any deliberate effort on her part if she were to engage in cultivation now the speed would likely increase even further I this true wongon incredulous grasped yuno's wrist and Infused a thread of his own spiritual energy to investigate to his utter amazement he confirmed her claim her energy was indeed circulating at an unprecedented Pace when Wang tion suddenly seized her wrist yuno's face flushed Crimson her heart racing like a startled deer brother tion do you not feel the the same surge of energy from the Pearl she whispered shily her cheeks still a flame let me try again wongon unwilling to accept defeat took the ancient magic Pearl back into his possession but regardless of how he attempted to sense or activate it his own dragon energy remained unresponsive continuing at its previous Pace why does it react so strongly to her but not to me could it be that this ancient magic Pearl is uniquely attuned to her wongon pondered in confusion before returning the Pearl to Yun and now is your energy still surging Wong tion asked skeptically yes the moment this Pearl is in my hands my spiritual energy begins to Bubble with excitement yunio affirmed with a nod after several rounds of testing Wang tion concluded that the ancient magic Pearl was indeed better suited for yuno than for him consider this Pearl a gift please explore its capabilities further he offered as this item yielded no responses in his possession his curiosity however remained about why it elicited such a found reaction from yunio and what other extraordinary effects it might possess in her hands brother tion are you truly giving this Pearl to me yuno's eyes sparkled with delight not merely because of the pearls potential to Aid her cultivation but because it was a gift from Brother tion certainly the ching-long competition is only half a month away use this Pearl for your cultivation Wong tion added suddenly recalling something important oh and it would be wise to keep this Pearl's capabilities a secret if others learn that it can accelerate cultivation 10 fold they might come seeking it a man is innocent yet possessing a treasure can lead to trouble and I have an inkling this ancient magic Pearl is far from ordinary rest assured I will keep this gift from Brother tion a closely guarded secret yuno replied cherishing the black orb in her hands her gaze filled with appreciation that is good to hear now please attempt to discover what other functions this Pearl might have wangon expressed his eagerness to uncover the pearls other properties allow me to try Yun channeled her bubbling spiritual energy into the ancient magic Pearl which erupted in a dazzling display of black light Wong tion watched an astonishment as the ancient magic Pearl began to bloom like a lotus flower its petals unfurling one by one while an enchanting fragrance wafted through the chamber brother tion it seems as though this Pearl has come to life yunio exclaimed with excitement feeling as though her energy had awaken the Pearl indeed it appears animated quickly let us ascertain its functions wongon urged eager to uncover the pearls Mysteries let it fully Bloom first I shall test it afterward yunio replied containing her anticipation as they anxiously awaited the Pearl blossomed into a magical Lotus its exotic scent pervading the entire chamber what a delightful Aroma where is it coming from Wong tion queried drawn to the completely bloomed magical Lotus suddenly he felt his Dragon energies flow slow considerably as if it were being suppressed great diminishing his strength this fragrance seems to reduce my energy flow by half Wong tion tested his dragon energy and indeed it confirmed his fears his energy was indeed operating at half speed I asked that so I feel my own energy flow accelerating instead yunio joyfully discovered that under the influence of the magical lotus's fragrance her energy circulation had doubled I surmised that the lotus's sent suppresses energy flow in others while invigorating it in you Wong tion speculated after a moment's thought that indeed seems plausible yuno nodded in agreement with his deduction yuno please try to ascertain what other powers this black lotus May possess wongon urged his excitement growing he suspected the ancient magic Pearl held more than just these properties yunio attempted to wield the Black Lotus with her spiritual energy as she did so the Black Lotus began to spin at an incredible speed stirring the air around it and creating a small Vortex let us see how powerful it truly is wongon said with anticipation yunho nodded eager to test the strength of the Black Lotus she propelled the Black Lotus toward the chambers wall the walls constructed from thick Stone and situated underground were exceptionally sturdy however with a thunderous crash the Black Lotus breached the wall creating a massive pit several meters deep and fracturing the surrounding structure the chamber began to tremble under the impact be careful Wong tion shouted noticing a stone dislodging from the ceiling plummeting directly toward yunio without a moment's hesitation he dashed forward enveloping her in his Embrace as he braced against the falling stone with his own body one stone fell followed by a Cascade of others from the ceiling Wang tion quickly summoned his spiritual energy to Shield both himself and Yun Q as the debris rained down they remained unharmed protected by Wong tion's energy yet as she was cradled in Wong tion's arms yuno's face flushed with embarrassment the warmth of his Embrace and the rhythmic beating of his heart captivated her she wished that time could freeze in that moment allowing her to remain in brother tion's arms indefinitely the residual force of the Black Lotus annihilated the chamber causing the ceiling to collapse entirely revealing the Open sky above the chamber built underground had essentially become a void utterly destroyed Wong tion gazed up in shock he had never anticipated that the Black Lotus would possess such formidable power capable of collapsing the entire chamber with such ease the power of this black lotus is truly terrifying he thought taking a sharp breath yunio 2 noticed the destruction of the chamber but did not attempt to break free from W tion's Embrace instead she relished the warmth of the moment young Master tion sister Chio how did this chamber collapse ponging rushed in upon hearing the commotion her arrival prompted yunio to reluctantly extricate herself from Wong tion's Embrace her cheeks still tinged with Crimson moments ago we were cultivating and the spiritual energy was not contained which caused the secret chamber to collapse yunju quite clever quickly fabricated an excuse since brother tion had previously informed her that the matter concerning the black orb must remain confidential she would refrain from disclosing it to Hong ining for the time being you two were cultivating together and caused the secret chamber to collapse it couldn't possibly be a dual cultivation could it the commotion was indeed quite significant Hong in regarded yunju with a mischievous grin and upon hearing this yunju delicate face used instantly sister hunging it's not what you think yunju exclaimed both embarrassed and anxious very well I shall not disturb you too any longer as long as you are unharmed I must return to my own cultivation I cannot afford to lose at the Azure Dragon tournament as she spoke hunging lifted her foot to leave not forgetting to tease I still have another secret chamber where you can continue your joint cultivation she emphasized the words joint cultivation as if you and jeu might not hear them with her face still red and yunju dared not respond until Hing departed at which point she turned to won brother tion sister hunging simply enjoys making wild remarks please do not take it to heart yunju feared that Wong tion might be displeased and it's nothing it's just a Pity that your secret chamber has been destroyed Wong tion took no offense if it were about dual cultivation he indeed possessed a technique the Hang D ning an esteemed dual cultivation method personally validated by The ancestral forefathers a destroyed secret chamber can be rebuilt brother tion you weren't hurt were you yunju suddenly recalled that Wong tion had shielded her from falling Stones earlier just a few rocks they couldn't possibly harm me let us quickly search for the Black Lotus it seems to be trapped beneath the ruins of the secret chamber after witnessing the power of the Millennium demon orb Wong tion realized that this could potentially be another Celestial grade treasure and its true function might not yet have been uncovered and no need to search I can summon it with a casual wave of her hand the black or soared from the debris Landing steadily in her delicate and fair Palm te that moment the Black Lotus had reverted to its orb form and its dark Radiance had dimmed slightly is it truly so obedient Wong tion was astonished this Millennium demon orb which he had obtained from the system was remarkably compliant with Yun xu's commands he felt as though he were merely a porter delivering Treasures without further involvement hum holding it evokes a sense of a bloodline connection it is quite extraordinary you juu clutched the black orb growing increasingly fond of it it seems it truly suits you Wong tion increasingly sensed a connection between yunju and that Exquisite female corpse otherwise it would be inconceivable for her to so effortlessly command the Millennium demon orb brother tion thank you for gifting me this orb I truly cherish IED as yunju expressed her gratitude she contemplated what gift would be appropriate in return as as long as you like it focus on your cultivation I shall take my leave now Wong tion leaped from the ruins of the secret chamber and stroe Away yunju watched him depart unable to tear her gaze away until his figure disappeared from sight chapter 80 has the old sage made his move Upon returning to the Imperial Tomb wongon did not hasten to commune with the ancestral Spirits instead he sat cross-legged within the humble abode to cultivate previously he had acquired several hundred Dragon stones from the melum of Emperor wangi which he had yet to utilize and now was the perfect time to consume them with yunju possessing the Millennium demon orb her cultivation speed would surely soar he could not allow himself to be surpassed with this thought Wong tion retrieved the majority of the Dragon stones from his system space leaving only one premium Dragon Stone and three mid-tier ones as reserves the numerous Dragon Stones nearly filled the rickety wooden bed and Wong tion wasted no time he promptly began absorbing the energy contained within them a vast amount of dragon shei surged into his body causing the tiny golden dragon soul within his Danon to swim joyfully as he continued to absorb the dragon shei the dragon soul gradually expanded in size days passed and while wangon cultivated yunju was also engaged in her own practice within the new secret chamber the Millennium demon or blossomed into a black lotus hovering above yunju head the unique fragrance and the Dual enhancement of the magical Lotus allowed her cultivation speed to be aptly described as soaring like a rocket the surrounding spiritual energy was in ently drawn into her body and within just 5 days her strength surged from the fifth realm to the fourth the black orb that brother tion gifted me is truly extraordinary it has allowed me to break through to the fourth realm in merely 5 days with 10 days remaining until the Azure Dragon tournament she resolved to strive for a breakthrough to the Third Realm thus enhancing her chances of claiming first place determination sparkled in her beautiful eyes for the sake of this tranquil Lotus yunju had resolved to win as it was something brother tion desired additionally she aimed to defeat suchin at the Azure Dragon tournament allowing her to savor the taste of disgrace as yunju achieved her breakthrough to the fourth realm Wong tion's strength also surged to the same level the moment he opened his eyes a flash of Golden Light shimmered Within them few I've reached the fourth realm Wong tion exhaled a breath of stagnant air glancing at the bed piled high with dragon Stones they were now depleted the dragon shei having been fully absorbed the dragon soul had also grown significantly he was UN certain of its size once released Wong tion attempted to summon the dragon soul and instantly a golden five clawed dragon soul the thickness of an arm materialized before him radiating Golden Light and exuding an imposing Aura akin to a living Dragon its scal shimmered with a dazzling Brilliance each one a finely crafted work of art the Dragon's Tail swayed gently as if showcasing its Majesty the dragon Soul's eyes sparkled with vibrant light resembling two radiant gemstones scanning the ings as if searching for something as the dragon soul emerged the entire space filled with a mysterious and potent energy golden arcs of electricity flickered around its body as if its power were surging forth the dragon soul was even more formidable than wongon had envisioned it exuded a sense of dominion over the world theoi a five-clawed dragon soul it would indeed be considered a dragon king among Dragon species Wong tion was quite pleased with his dragon soul yet the time for battle had not yet arrived after storing the dragon soul he began contemplating his future endeavors upon reaching the fourth realm it became increasingly challenging to elevate his level however it seemed he still possessed a boundary breaking pill Wong tion retrieved the long and used boundary breaking pill from his system space the pill was only effective for cultivators below the Third Realm meaning that now at the fourth realm was the most opportune moment for him to utilize it excellent with this boundary breaking pill breaking through to the Third Realm should pose no challenge but I must first cultivate to the peak of the fourth realm otherwise it will be ineffective with this in mind Wong tion Rose and exited lacking cultivation resources he needed to borrow some from The ancestral Spirits once more which ancestral figure should he approach this time for resources Wong tion furrowed his brow suddenly recalling a very suitable ancestor for his current needs the Emperor of alchemy Wong de hang Wong deang the Alchemy Emperor was passionate about alchemy and disinterested in politics he had abolished the position of prime minister and established a cabinet to govern state affairs while he secluded himself in the inner Palace to refine Elixir such a ruler who disregarded the Affairs of state would typically be deemed a foolish Monarch yet during his 40 years as Emperor the state remained remarkably stable and he cultivated numerous top tier experts through the Elixir he refined bringing the Marshal prowess of the Duan Empire to its Zenith it was precisely this unconventional approach that earned Wong dehang the title of a capable ruler while reminiscing about the Alchemy emperor information Wong tion arrived at the melum of this esteemed ancestor gazing upon the blue melum before him he recalled another figure associated with Emperor Wong deang his Empress the duu clan while the world knew of Wong D Chang's Retreat from the spotlight for 40 years stabilizing the court with the cabinet system and countless premium Elixir few recognized the significant contributions of his Empress duu the head of the cabinet was none other than Doug a an empress overseeing the court was a rarity in the history of of the daian Empire yet she accomplished it with her wisdom and strength she aided the Alchemy emperor in stabilizing the court for four decades this time he could commune with both both the Alchemy Emperor and duu possessed remarkable talents and duu was rumored to be of the ice Phoenix physique he wondered what insights he might glean from the two of them with anticipation wongon approached the melum of the Alchemy Emperor as he stepped towards the outer gate of the melum he encountered a formidable Dragon shei barrier fortunately Wong tion's strength had now reached the fourth realm and utilizing his Dragon Chi he easily entered upon entering the outer Courtyard Wong tion discovered that the scale of the Alchemy Emperor's melum was quite Grand with a massive bronze Alchemy furnace positioned at the main entrance of the Great Hall is this the furnace used by the ancestor to refine Elixir Wong tion gazed at the bronze furnace momentarily entranced when suddenly a powerful suction emanated from the furnace attempting to draw him inside this furnace is alive is it trying to suck me in for Alchemy Wong tion quickly mobilized his Dragon Chi to resist but the more he resisted the stronger the suction became Wong tion's expression shifted he then Unleashed a palm strike toward the Alchemy furnace channeling his full strength point9 streams of golden dragon Chi surged toward the furnace this was a full-powered strike from wongon sufficient to obliterate a significant portion of the melum however as the nine streams of golden dragon Chi approached the furnace they were expectedly absorbed furthermore after absorbing the dragon Chi the furnace suction intensified and despite Wang tion's utmost efforts to resist he found himself gradually being pulled closer if this continued it was only a matter of time before he was absorbed into the furnace this cannot continue Wong tion's countenance changed and he swiftly drew the juian sword from his system space striking the Alchemy furnace with it however as the sword struck down not only did it fail to harm the alchemical furnace but it also drew the Excalibur within its grasp I asked this alchemical furnace truly that formidable could it be a Celestial grade furnace won's expression changed dramatically and with a Resolute heart he summoned the 12 swords from the system space intending to unleash the Myriad swords returning to their origin to combat this furnace yet as he conjured the 12 swords they were instantly engulfed by the furnace which now exhibited an even greater pulling Force this left Wong tion in a state of despair in a wonder the pill EMP could create so many extraordinary Masters through Alchemy it turns out he possessed such a powerful furnace Wong tion realized he had underestimated the pill Emperor his alchemical skills were undoubtedly among the best of his time as he felt his body gradually being drawn in panic surged within him but no amount of struggle proved effective just as he was on the verge of being completely absorbed a character formed from spiritual energy inscribed as break suddenly descended from above with this spiritual character crashing down the bronze alchemical furnace was instantly sent flying the 13 swords that had been drawn and were expelled and the pulling Force ceased abruptly only then did Wong tion manage to catch his breath what just happened why was the alchemical furnace suddenly hurled away wongon scanned his surroundings finding no signs of any presence then looked up at the sky just moments ago he had sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy descending from above in the next second the furnace had been struck who saved me Wong tion's gaze swept around before settling on the bronze alchemical furnace where he faintly discerned the imprint of the character break this character had not been there moments ago how could it appear so suddenly could this character be the very essence that fell from the sky wongon began to speculate the manifestation of spiritual energy in the form of characters was a Hallmark of Confucianism and taism this must be a master of Confucianism and taism when did such a figure emerge from the Imperial melum suddenly wongon thought of the old Master masters of Confucianism typically hailed frommy and the title of Master often refers to the head of such an institution the old Master could very well be the former head of the academy how had he not realized this sooner he had thought the old master was merely a humble reference to himself Wong tion's mind was suddenly illuminated however his understanding of the Confucian Academy was limited and thus he knew little about its former head he owed his life to the old Master this time once he escaped he would have to express his gratitude after making this inner vow Wong tion approached the Bron alchemical furnace the fact that it could draw and swords indicated its exceptional nature without hesitation he placed the furnace into the system space having completed this wongon continued towards the grand hall with the alchemical furnace no longer obstructing him he arrived at the Grand Hall without issue albeit cautiously as he pushed open the door the higher the level of the Mosel the stronger the guarding energies he had to remain Vigilant s he opened the door a captivating fragrance wafted through the air what an Exquisite scent just as this thought crossed his mind he felt a wave of dizziness nearly losing his balance Wong tion quickly summoned his dragon energy to stabilize his mind but after a brief moment of clarity the dizziness intensified and his vital energy began to reverse the reversal of vital energy was perilous prolonged exposure could lead to self-donation this scent is toxic wangon suddenly called the Pure Heaven Pearl he had acquired earlier a treasure capable of purifying all toxic substances rendering him immune to poison with the Pure Heaven Pearl in his possession he felt a measure of relief his vital energy returning to normal and his mind clearing thank goodness for the Pure Heaven Pearl otherwise he would have perished here today wongon silently lamented the dangers of the pill Emperor's melum outside there was a Celestial gr alchemical furnace and inside a lethal noxious gas each element could easily spell Doom for anyone below the first grade realm with the Pure Heaven Pearl he finally had the opportunity to survey the grand hall the hall was vast and empty save for a pair of coffins at its Center surrounded by a plethora of burial offerings most of which were Elixir the strange fragrance emanated from within one of the coffins what could emit such a toxic Aura Wong tion's Gaze fixated on the pair of coffins and with eager anticipation he approached step by step the Excalibur appeared in his hand as per his usual practice every coffin bore protective runes and this one was no exception as he drew nearer indeed two energies began to rise from the coffins point one was a massive Azure Dragon reminiscent of a mysterious Celestial Beast its scales shimmering with a jade likee luster each scale a finely crafted work of art the other was an ice blue phoenix its feathers crystalline and translucent each glimmering with a chilling Radiance with a gentle flap of its wings it could summon a biting cold wind and its gaze was devoid of warmth as if it could freeze anything in its path the two energies intertwined in the air forming a formidable protective Rune the Azure Dragon Rune and the ice Phoenix Rune confirmed the historical records the dogu clan was indeed of the ice Phoenix lineage Wong tion tightened his grip on the Excalibur summoning the 12 swords from the system space once more a fierce battle was inevitable to reach his ancestor he must overcome this challenge the Azure Dragon opened its massive maw and lung at wongon its sharp teeth instilling dread Wong tion did not confront it headon instead he executed a series of agile leaps to evade its attack just as he dodged the ice blue phoenix above him opened its beak unleashing a frigid breath towards him the chilling air dropped the temperature significantly Wong tion jumped again to avoid the attack stabilizing himself before unleashing the Myriad swords returning to their origin instantly the 13 swords formed a colossal sword array hurtling towards the ice Phoenix with tremendous momentum now at the fourth grade realm Wong tion's version of the Myriad swords returning to their origin was significantly more powerful the ice Phoenix let out a cry and rapidly flapped its wings coalescing an extreme cold Whirlwind before it as the Myriad swords approached her the Whirlwind was released and the two forces collided violently Boom the immense energy exploded sending icy gusts and sword Chi swirling in every direction Wong tion took a deep breath retrieving a mid-gray dragon Stone from the system space absorbing dragon energy while continuously channeling his own into the Myriad swords returning to their origin the power of the array surged dramatically hinting at the potential to suppress the frigid Whirlwind the Azure Dragon roared in response exhaling a stream of azure dragon breath that scorched the very air the intense breath struck the Myriad swords simultaneously and Wong tion felt the pressure mount yet he refused to relent even if the two of you attack together I shall not concede from the system space Wong tion Drew forth a premium Dragon Stone the most valuable stone he had acquired from the mechanical puppet General worth a city in trade comparable to a top tier Earthly treasure with the support of the premium Dragon Stone the power of the Myriad swords surged once more pushing back the energies of the Azure dragon and Ice Phoenix just a little longer and I shall defeat them gritting his teeth Wong tion continued to channel his dragon energy as the energies of the Azure dragon and Ice Phoenix were suppressed by the Myriad swords they attempted to Counterattack but as Rune energies they lacked any subsequent reinforcement leaving them helpless against the persistent pressure after a prolonged stalemate the energies of the Azure dragon and Ice Phoenix were finally Shattered by Wong tion's Myriad swords returning to their origin their Rune energies dissipating Into The Ether at last Wong tion exhaled in relief as his dragon energy was nearly depleted continuing further would leave the outcome uncertain after regaining a modum of dragon energy he cautiously approached approached the coffin with the protective runes dispelled he easily reached the coffin's edge and deafly pride open the lid with the Excalibur his actions were remarkably practiced as the lid came free he was met not with the stench of Decay but with a rich intoxicating fragrance fortunately with the Pure Heaven Pearl this deadly Aroma posed no threat to him the presence of the Pure Heaven Pearl was indeed fortuitous he pondered what could be the source of such a lethal scent Wong tion felt that the timing of the pure Pure Heaven pearls arrival was impeccable it would serve him well in the moonfall valley to escape the poisonous miasma there peering cautiously into the coffin he yearned to uncover the source of the intoxicating fragrance chapter 81 the old master and the female student his gaze swept across the interior revealing two crystallin white skeletons lying within surrounded by numerous burial items predominantly Elixir The Peculiar fragrance emanated from a colorful bead nestled among them what could this be how could could it release such a toxic Aura Wong tion carefully examined the colorful bead feeling its icy smoothness and the swirling energies within had it not been for the Pure Heaven Pearl a mere touch would have spelled his Doom unsure of the bead's nature he decided to store it for now Wong tion casually placed the colorful bead into the system space before shifting his attention to the Elixir these must be the concoctions of the pill Emperor anything deemed worthy of being a burial offering would undoubtedly be of the highest quality excitedly he picked up a vial and opened it the rich spiritual energy within nearly intoxicating him indeed it was a premium Spirit Elixir containing five precious pills worth of Fortune a bottle containing five Exquisite Elixir and within this coffin there are at least 30 bottles although not all are of the finest quality wongon could not contain his excitement it is important to note that concocting a single Exquisite Elixir is an arduous task the materials required are predominantly rare spiritual herbs and medicines with some only found in Celestial Realms and polar regions a in Exquisite Elixir is worth half a city some pure and virtuous female cultivators in their quest to obtain an Exquisite Elixir would not hesitate to offer themselves underscoring The Elixir immense value ancestor I shall borrow some Elixir from you if you remain silent I shall take it as your consent faced with such an abundance of Exquisite Elixir Wong tion unceremoniously packed them all into the system space even if the ancestor wished to object there was no Avenue for descent after collecting all the elixirs Wong tion's gaze fell upon the corpses of the Dan Emperor and the empress dugu oddly why are the bones of these two so translucent they resemble Jade bones wongon felt a twinge of confusion having seen countless corpses this was the first time he encountered such a phenomenon could it be that consuming too many elixirs had led to the evolution of their bones Wong tion did not dwell on it further and reached out to touch the corpse of the D Emperor Wong deang ding congratulations to the host for touching a terrestrial great corpse you have acquired Celestial great Alchemy skills as the systems voice faded a wealth of alchemical knowledge surged into Wong tion's mind within mere breaths he transformed into the most elite Alchemist in the tonan continent too his surprise the ancestors alchemical skills were astonishingly formidable Wong tion's eyes sparkled with excitement armed with Celestial grade Alchemy skills and the ancestors Al chemical furnace he could continuously refine Exquisite Elixir provided he had sufficient materials excellent excellent now let us see what I can glean from the empress duu Wong tion's attention shifted to another corpse it is worth noting that the empress dugu possesses the ice Phoenix physique and boasts a remarkably high level of power any rewards extracted from her are bound to be extraordinary the moment Wong tion's hand touched the empress dugu the systems voice resonated once more ding congratulations to the host for touching a terrestrial gr corpse you have obtained the ice Phoenix Feather the name alone suggests it is no ordinary item wongon eagerly retrieved the ice Phoenix Feather from the system space and examined it closely the feather resembled a peacock's plume emanating a frosty blue hue and felt icy to the touch exuding a rich spiritual Aura intriguingly the ice Phoenix Feather appeared to possess a life of its own shimmering with a radiant blue light if I refine this ice Phoenix Feather could I not attain the ice Phoenix physique as this thought crossed his mind Wong tion attempted to refine it using Dragon shei but the ice Phoenix Feather outright rejected his efforts how intriguing this ice Phoenix Feather seems to select its refiner could it be that it shuns me because I am a man wongon tried once more to refine it with dragon Chi yet the outcome remained unchanged at it seems this ice Phoenix Feather truly Finds Me lacking wongon somewhat exasperated could only temporarily store the ice phoenix feather in the system space awaiting the opportunity for yunio to try her hand at it having completed these tasks there was little left to linger over in the Dan Emperor's melum after carefully sealing the coffin lid he bowed deeply to the Dan Emperor and Empress dugu following his Farewell Wong tion exited the Dan Emperor's melum and returned to his humble abode he instructed the little servant to guard outside while he sat cross-legged on the rickety wooden bed preparing to resume his cultivation it was time to make a push towards the third tier realm Wong tion retrieved The Elixir bottles he had just acquired from the system space and examined them one by one there were a total of 36 bottles of Elixir upon inspection he found that only 10 contained Exquisite Elixir the remaining 26 bottles held a variety of concoctions including the concealment Elixir which could mask 1s presence the Supreme Vitality Elixir that temporarily enhances 1s strength and even transformation Elixir that could change genders or transform one into a fierce Beast initially unable to identify these Elixir wongon now with Celestial great Alchemy skills could discern their effects with just a whiff after categorizing The Elixir he selected the 10 Exquisite ones each bottle contained five Exquisite Elixir amounting to a total of 50 rather than consuming them all at once he poured out just one bottle totaling five Exquisite Elixir these five Exquisite Elixir should suffice for me to cultivate to the Pinnacle of the fourth tier realm with this thought Wong tion promptly swallowed all five Exquisite Elixir as The Elixir entered his stomach an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy engulfed his body realizing he had underestimated the potency he felt as if his body might burst from the sheer force of the energy the efficacy of the Exquisite Elixir was astonishing the energy was nearly overwhelming Wong tion quickly settled down to absorb and convert the energy the dense spiritual energy transformed into Dragon Chi within him rapidly flowing into his Danton the golden dragon soul having absorbed the immense Dragon shei began to frolic joyfully radiating Golden Light and visibly expanding in size Wong tion's power surged as well that I in just one day's time his strength escalated from the early fourth tier realm to the mid tier and after two more days he Advanced to the late fourth tier realm Point 5 days later having consumed all five Exquisite Elixir he successfully reached the Pinnacle of the fourth tier realm at this stage he could utilize the Breakthrough Elixir wongon retrieved the long preserved breakthrough Elixir from the system space and swallowed it whole upon entering his stomach an exceptionally pure surge of spiritual power swept through him with the added effect of enhancing the Vitality of his meridians this made the Breakthrough remarkably effortless within just a single incense stick estoration Wong tion's strength broke through to the third tier realm and the golden dragon soul within his Danon instantly expanded once more exhaling a breath of turbid air wongon felt significantly lighter he felt as light as a feather finally attaining the third tier realm Wong tion leapt off the rickety bed Landing gracefully as as if a feather had touched the ground after completing his cultivation Wong tion chose not to continue but instead opened the creaky door and stepped outside it was time to express his gratitude to the old scholar without him he might have been drawn into the alchemical furnace with this in mind Wong tion took a jar of fine wine from the system space and made his way to the old Scholars residence this wine had been delivered earlier by huii and was perfectly suited for the occasion the old scholar resided to the east of the royal tomb and wongon initially assumed his dwelling would be akin to his humble abode to his surprise it was a very elegant wooden house surrounded by an abundance of various fruits vegetables and unfamiliar plants as well as a few red feathered chickens and spiritual fish the old scholar seemed to lead a rather comfortable life Wong tion smacked his lips with wine I am but a guest please come in the old Scholars aged yet Rich voice resonated from within the bamboo house wongon not one to be polite stro in with the wine the old scholar clad in a gray robe reclined on a bamboo chair leisurely engrossed in a book old scholar thank you for saving me wongon approached respectfully and bowed recognizing the gravity of his rescue how did you know it was I who saved you the old scholar glanced up at Wong tion before returning to his reading the technique used to strike the alchemical furnace is Confucianism and only the academy practices Confucianism you claim to be an old scholar and there are only you and I in the Royal tomb one can deduce who saved me Wong tion laid out his reasoning not bad you're not entirely foolish the old scholar put down his book and fixed his murky gaze upon Wong tion since I saved you how do you intend to show your gratitude the old scholar had been observing Wong tion closely having noted his rapid Ascension from the ninth tier realm to the third tier realm in less than 3 months a speed of cultivation unmatched even by the first emperor how about I offer myself as a token of gratitude wongon gested who would want to offer yourself you scoundrel the old scholar chuckled scolding him lightly you are the real scoundrel that book in your hand must contain quite intriguing content Wong tion smirked slightly now at the third tier realm his vision was exceptional although the book was turned away from him he could clearly see the title the tales of the brothel flowers you certainly have some nerve the old scholar cursed a few times but found himself even more fond of wangon he needed a person with both strength and intellect for the tasks he had in mind enough jesting old scholar since you saved my life if there is anything you need help with feel free to ask me at any time wongon stated earnestly the old scholar had been anticipating this very statement he had a matter of great importance he wished to address but he could not leave the premises and required assistance previously Wong Ton's strength had been too weak and he had not yet established a bond of gratitude making it inappropriate to ask for help now however with Wong ton strength having reached the third tier realm and the life dep between them the timing was perfect I do have a matter that requires the prince's assistance the old Scholar's demeanor grew serious and his tone of address shifted indicating the significance of the task he was about to present old scholar please tell me what you need I sense it is of great importance Wong tion replied feeling the weight of the situation the old scholar set his book aside and after a moment of contemplation spoke slowly that I wish for you to bring someone to meet me who Wong tion instinctively inquired her name is X chiny a female student from the academy she should be around your age the old scholar replied the female student X chiny from the academy very well I shall find a way to bring her to you shortly Wong tion replied his prompt agreement took the old scholar by surprise why do you not inquire about my reasons for wanting to meet this female student the old scholar asked with curiosity that is your personal matter my responsibility is merely to bring her to you Wong tion rorted with a slight smirk he believed that anyone who wished to share would do so willingly and those who did not wish to speak need not be questioned you rascal I find myself starting to like you the old scholar chided with a smile no no no I am not interested in older men Wong tion laughed as he offered a fine bottle of wine he had brought from outside this is an Exquisite Brew I procured let us share a glass the old scholar had long coveted the jar of wine in Wong tion's possession and upon learning it was available his eyes sparkled with anticipation then let us hurry for I have a roasted chicken here he said as he retrieved a fragrant roast chicken from the kitchen with wine and meat at hand the feast promised to be quite delightful as they indulged in food and drink the old scholar began to speak freely young man I have observed you for quite some time in less than 3 months you have ascended to the third rank your pace surpasses even that of the first emperor the old Scholars words were filled with admiration for wongon which of those princes outside can compare to you Wong tion felt a little embarrassed realizing he had been under the old Scholars watchful eye then why did you not intervene to stop me Wong tion instinctively asked aware that trespassing into the Imperial tombs was a grave offense punishable by death and the old scholar was the guardian of the royal melum why should I stop you from the moment you entered the black melum I knew you were no ordinary person the old scholar replied after taking a sip of wine moreover these Imperial tombs belong to your Royal ancestors what harm is there in borrowing a few resources for cultivation as an Ider I have no right to prevent you this perspective resonated deeply with wongon indeed he was merely borrowing resources from his ancestors for cultivation and he could always repay them later he felt a sense of regret for not having encountered the old scholar sooner as his words struck a cord within him by the way have you ever considered claiming the throne the old scholar inquired testing the waters under the influence of the wine it The Mention Of The Throne a glimmer of determination flashed in Wong tion's eyes life within the the palace was fraught with Peril as a child he had often been bullied by his Elder Brothers due to his lack of powerful allies and insufficient Talent everyone regarded him as a worthless being and to survive he had to endure humiliation employing considerable cunning to do so after finally securing a marriage alliance with the prime minister's daughter he was schemed against by both the Prime Minister and the fourth Prince resulting in his banishment to the Royal melum how could wangon simply let such indignities go unpunished I have little interest in becoming Emperor but I am quite keen on stepping over them all Wong tion thought to himself clenching his fists very well as long as you assist me in bringing X chiny to me I can support you and even persuade the academy to pledge loyalty to you the old scholar promptly assured him Wong tion was taken aback by the old Scholars evident regard for this xinti as he was willing to offer his assistance for her sake curiosity about the relationship between XO chingi and the old scholar began to stir within him chapter 82 the background of Xin the academy was located in the western suburbs of the capital sprawling across a vast area adorned with small Bridges and flowing streams Pavilions and Towers each structure exquisitly crafted upon Wong tion's arrival he found the academy engaged in a competition the sounds of combat echoed from within accompanied by intense fluctuations of spiritual energy hello I am here to seek The Scholar of your Academy here is a letter of recommendation from the old scholar Wong tion said present ing the letter to the gatekeeper this letter had been personally pinned by the old scholar to facilitate Wong tion's meeting with Joe chingi a letter from the old scholar please wait the gatekeeper said not daring to be neglectful after receiving the letter he hurried inside the old scholar had previously served as the Academy's Headmaster and the gatekeeper understood the significance of such a letter observing the gatekeeper's demeanor towards the letter Wong tion realized that the old scholar was indeed the former Headmaster of the academy it was not long before the scholar of the academy hurried out to greet him he was a middle-aged man around 50 years of age clothed in a blue robe inscribed with the characters for tranquility his long beard reaching his chest exuding an air of scholarly Elegance young Master tion thank you for your patience Lin Ching Shan said clasping his fists in greeting I hope I am not interrupting your Affairs today Wong tion glanced into the academy faintly noticing many disciples engaged in competitions as luck would have it we are currently selecting participants for the internal Ching long tournament young Master tion is welcome to join us and observe foro chingi is among the contenders lynching Shan seemed to understand Wong tion's purpose I asked that so then I would very much like to see Wong tion replied his interest peaked as he wished to assess XO Chin's abilities following Lin Ching Shan into the academy wongan witnessed Fierce duels taking place on two platforms contrary to his expectation of a battle of literary prowess the young disciples wielded long sword swords occasionally employing verbal attacks to strike down their opponents scholar how many disciples does your Academy have how many will be chosen to participate in the Chong tournament Wong tion inquired while admiring the contests currently we have over 200 disciples suited to participate in the Ching Wong tournament we will select the top two to represent us if their abilities are lacking they would only bring shame upon themselves at the tournament The Scholar replied it so there is merely a 1% chance of selection Wong tion mused secretly lamenting the difficulty of the internal selection process if the competition was this Fierce at the Academy level how much more daunting would it be at the Ching long tournament Wong ton cuden T help but feel a sense of dread for yunju indeed Linn Ching Shan nodded in agreement after observing the matches on the two platforms for a while wongon noticed a refined young man with exceptional swordsmanship and sharp verbal attacks this youth is quite remarkable he must be at the fourth rank his sword play and verbal techniques are impressive and after several exchanges none can match him Wong tion recognized at a glance that this young scholar was a prodigy his name is lucii a standout among the younger generation of our Academy currently none among his peers can rival him if all goes well he will secure a spot in the ching-long tournament ly Shing Shan spoke with pride in his voice it was a stroke of Fortune for him to nurture such a talent a boon for the Academy as well so his name is Lucci wongon silently noted intending to warn yunju to be wary of him be why the way scholar where is chinti wongan asked having scanned the crowd without spotting anyone particularly striking she is right over there Lin Ching Shan said as he pointed toward a girl hiding shyly among the crowd following his indication wongon caught sight of a delicate young woman strikingly beautiful appearing pure and innocent albeit slightly petite and timid as she cowered amidst the throng what is X chiny like in her daily life wongan couldn't help but inquire alas Lin Ching Shan sighed deeply before continuing X chingi originally possessed remarkable talent in the Confucian way she could recognize characters by the age of three recite ancient poems by five and demonstrate verbal techniques by eight making her the youngest to do so at our Academy be why the age of 10 she had reached the seventh ranked Tio call her a genius would be an understatement and I had high hopes for her unfortunately tragedy struck when she was 12 her family faced Calamity her parents were tragically killed and she was left with her meridians crippled rendering her unable to cultivate further I took her in at the Academy and the old scholar wrote To Me requesting that I look after her even so her personality has become increasingly reclusive reluctant to engage with others Lin Shing Shan's words were steeped in regret it was indeed tragic to see such a talent Fall From Grace I had no idea her background was so tragic I wonder what her relationship with the old scholar is to Warrant such care Wong tion pondered instinctively XO chingi is the old Scholar's granddaughter but but in his pursuit of the unity of Heaven and Man within the Confucian way he has nearly forsaken familial ties Lin Ching Shan side before continuing xin's grandmother and parents all perished because of the old scholar which has left her harboring deep resentment toward him convincing her to meet him would be exceedingly difficult upon hearing this Wong tion realized for the first time that this task would be more challenging than he had anticipated in a wonder the old scholar was willing to promise assistance if xinti could be brought to him I see but why is the old scholar in the Royal melum do you know anything about that wongon ventured to ask I cannot say for certain all I know is that after entrusting the crippled Joe chiny to me he ventured alone to the Royal melum and has not returned since the scholar replied after some thought the old Scholars certainly had a story to tell as they conversed it was XO Chin's turn to compete on stage Wong tion felt a surge of excitement as he watched her step onto the platform despite her current seemingly worthless capabilities she chose to Pete indicating her inherent determination on the stage a cold and proud girl was already present upon seeing XO chiny approach Shia Ching Shu scoffed disdainfully you dare to step onto the platform I could easily sweep you off with a mere wave of my hand don't waste your time xia chingu dismissed her entirely unwilling even to glance her way as a perceived waste who would wish to squander their time on her as a disciple of the Academy I shall take to the stage regardless of Victory or defeat Joe chiny Drew forth the silver long sword in her grasp her demeanor transforming into one of resolute determination starkly contrasting the timid figure that had previously cowered amidst the crowd chapter 83 the ice Phoenix's feather acknowledges its Master upon witnessing XO Chin's unwavering resolve Xiao Ching Shu found herself disinclined to waste words on her fine why bother arguing with a useless person like you how foolish of me let us engage in battle xia chingu thought eager to batch her opponent swiftly xingsi cradling her sword performed a respectful bow to xia Ching Shu before launching her attack faced with X chinki's snail-like Pace Xiao Ching Shu merely shook her head then swiftly appeared before her delivering a decisive kick that struck Joe chinki squarely in the abdomen the immense Force sent X chiny hurtling backward her body sliding across the air for several meters before crashing outside the arena I told you a worthless person like you has no place on the stage wasting everyone's time you can't even withstand a single blo go back and weep xia chingu Jered from her elevated position on the platform Shia shui speaks the truth I once thought she was a prodigy but with her current abilities I could defeat her with one hand tied behind my back the surrounding disciples joined in the mockery X chinki lay on the ground utterly disheveled her ears filled with taunts that deepened her sense of humiliation and Injustice clenching her delicate fists she fought back tears slowly rising from the ground and silently making making her way back to the dormatory with no one approaching to offer Comfort the silhouette of X chinti appeared so solitary so forlorn Wong tion observed her retreating figure feeling as though he were gazing upon a reflection of his former self once labeled as worthless subjected to ridicule and Scorn his dignity trampled upon without Mercy foby candid XO Chin's experience in the academy was quite torturous yet apart from the academy she had nowhere else to turn you cannot take her away so please guide her well perhaps you young people share a common language Lin Ching Shan witnessing XO Chin's desolate figure felt a Pang of sympathy yet he was powerless to assist in a world where strength Reigns Supreme lacking power meant merely existing in such a manner I shall provide her with guidance wongon replied clasping his fists in respect to Lin Ching Shan before quietly following xinti on the way back to the dormatory X chiny struggled to contain her emotions until she finally entered the empty room room whereupon she allowed herself to weep aloud I in an effort to avoid detection she stifled her sobs fearing the abrupt entrance of someone who might witness her pitiful State Wong tion stood outside the dormatory clearly hearing the muffled cries through the wall having once experienced such despair himself he could profoundly empathize with XO Chin's current plight it was truly lamentable what had that old teacher done to cause such suffering for this young girl wongan mused now I must clean up this mess were it not for the old teacher saving his life wongon would have been loathed to involve himself in such murky Waters observing The Fragile XO chinti sobbing on her bed Wong tion felt a surge of compassion after contemplating for a long while he concluded that he must first approach Joe chiny Foster a rapport with her and then persuade her to visit the Royal tomb to see the old teacher suddenly a gust of wind flung open the dormatory window XO chinti noticing this quickly wiped her tears and Rose to close the window determined not to let anyone know that she had been crying however just as she was about to shut it a figure clad in silver armor and a black cloak appeared unexpectedly outside the window the sudden appearance startled the sensitive XO Ching seit W who are you she stammered anxiety gripping her having spent many years in the academy without ever encountering Wong tion she felt a natural apprehension especially since he was wearing a mask which heightened her weariness I am tion Wong a friend of your teacher I happened to pass by and heard the sound of weeping so I came to investigate wongon concocted a casual excuse I wasn't crying you must have misheard XO chingi quickly wiped her eyes and attempted to close the window only to be seized by Wong tion's hand crying will not resolve your issues if you have grievances you can share them with me and perhaps I may assist you Wong tion sought to find an opportunity to draw closer to her I have no Grievances and you cannot help me XO chinki retorted forcefully prying his hand away and shutting the window decisively Wong tion was taken aback by xin's stubbornness or rather her utter distrust of him a stranger xinti I can help you reconstruct your meridians at midnight tonight I will be waiting for you on the boat by the river behind the academy if you wish to avoid enduring such humiliation again you may come to find me Wong tion declared before Vanishing in an instant he was confident that XO chingi had heard his words if she possessed even a glimmer of ambition she would undoubtedly seek him out indeed Xin had heard Wong tion's Proclamation her previously desolate heart fluttered with a flicker of hope she opened the window once more and peered outside but Wong tion's figure had already vanished from sight who is he can he truly help me reconstruct my meridians even if he can why would he want to assist me xin's mind raised with countless thoughts she yearned too yet apprehension over potential deceit held her back after much internal conflict her unwillingness to succumb to fear ultimately prevailed as night deepened wongon reclined in the boat by the river leisurely sipping wine and savoring meat he had noticed the lovely surroundings by the river behind the academy and had rented a boat to await X chiny glancing at the darkened Sky he realized it was already midnight yet X chinti had yet to arrive surely she isn't too frightened to come wongon felt a twinge of concern fortunately he did not have to wait long a petite delicate figure treaded cautiously under the pale Moonlight making her way toward him upon seeing her Wong tion felt a surge of Joy she had finally arrived I anyone there xinti softly called to the boat Come Aboard Wong tion responded with faint mystery asj chinti confirmed that there was indeed someone in the boat she hesitated momentarily before stepping aboard realizing there was no turning back now that she was here once inside Wong tion used the light of a luminous Pearl to observe XO Chin's expression closely her do-like face was filled with weariness and apprehension her cheeks pale from the cold welcome have a drink to warm yourself wongon offered her a cup of wine I don't drink xinti immediately rejected fearing that Wong tion might have poisoned the drink to incapacitate her Wong tion was surprised by her level of Suspicion but understood after all who would dare accept a drink from a stranger during their first encounter what you said in the daytime was it true can you really help me reconstruct my meridians X chingi asked after a moment of silence her eyes gleaming with hope indeed I can not only assist you in reconstructing your meridians but also Empower you beyond your previous capabilities Wong tion replied taking a sip of wine then why are you willing to help me X chinki inquired her heart suddenly swelling with hope yet tinged with fear of unreasonable demands because I see in you a reflection of my former self wongon explained at a reflection of your former self were you also bullied in such a manner XO Chin's eyes widened with curiosity as she regarded Wong tion for the first time yes I faced even greater torment I could only endure each day Wong tion continued drinking another cup of wine recalling the harrowing days he preferred to forget thankfully he had persevered through it all I asked that truly the only reason you wish to help me Joe chiny asked incredulously indeed that is my sole motivation what else would you expect wongon countered with curiosity then do I not need to pay any price xiny asked nervously I as there truly such a thing as a free lunch in this world to help someone reconstruct their meridians without seeking anything in return is simply unimaginable what could you possibly offer me in your current state Wong tion's gaze bore into her XO chingi felt a surge of fear and tension under his intense scrutiny her small hands clutching her collar tightly if you can help me reconstruct my meridians I would be willing to serve you like a beast of burden xinti finally uttered after a long moment of hesitation if I were to send you into the depths of danger would you follow wongon asked with a smile that I would xiny replied earnestly her beautiful eyes reflecting her determination

wongon instructed as he retrieved the ice Phoenix's feather from his system space this item was akin to dragon bone once refined it could not only reshape a person's meridians but also grant them the body of the ice Phoenix what is this XO chingi inquired her curiosity pequ by the sight of the blue feather this is the ice Phoenix's feather it can help you reconstruct your meridians and make you stronger however whether you can gain its acknowledgement will depend on your fortune wongon explained though he had initially intended to give the ice Phoenix's feather to yunio he felt that XO chingi needed it more at this moment the ice Phoenix's feather X chingi tentatively reached out to touch the blue feather to her astonishment it flew directly into her hand it then radiated a shimmering icy blue light that enveloped her entirely Wong tion watched in astonishment the ice Phoenix's feather had chosen to merge with xinti without the need for refinement it seemed that the ice Phoenix's feather recognized X chingi indeed chapter 84 x Chin's transformation from cocoon to Butterfly the spontaneous Fusion of the ice Phoenix's feather with XO chingi was an unexpected turn of events for wongon but it aligned perfectly with his intentions with XO Chin's guard lowered he could better facilitate her journey to the Royal tomb to meet the old teacher as the icy blue light enveloped xinti she felt the temperature around her plummet by dozens of degrees yet rather than feeling cold she found this frigid atmosphere to be remarkably soothing what a wondrous sensation xinti was acutely aware of this extraordinary transformation under the Embrace of this extreme cold her body began to undergo a metamorphosis the once broken meridians within her were reshaped by the chilling Aura and her feeble Danon was revitalized into an extreme cold Danon this change filled Jo chinti with immense exhilaration it was incredible her meridians were visibly healing the realization that she could once again cultivate filled her with excitement this was merely the beginning once her meridians were reformed XO Chin's body began to evolve and transform under the Relentless onslaught of the icy Ora her physique gradually evolved into the Spirit Ice Meridian a unique Channel possessed only by those with an extreme cold constitution in addition to the evolution of her meridians her Danton was also under underg goinging a profound transformation the previously weak Danon evolved into an extreme cold domain and the energy within it transformed into extreme cold spiritual energy in the brief span of a tea ceremony X chinia power surged to the eighth tier before she could Revel in this new found strength the ice Phoenix Feather penetrated her body initiating the fusion process the earlier transformations of her meridians and Danton were merely Preparatory steps for this integration as the ice Phoenix Feather entered her X chingi felt an overwhelming lightness as if she had ascended to the summit of a Snowy Mountain surrounded by an expanse of ice and snow the extreme cold spiritual energy swiftly filled her entire being without any conscious effort on Joe Chin's part this energy began to automatically alter and enhance her body ultimately converging into her Danton with the continuous influx of extreme cold spiritual energy XO chinti experienced a radical transformation her strength escalated rapidly particularly noticeable in her back where a pair of ice blue wings materialized these were the wings of the ice Phoenix not physical appendages but rather manifestations of the extreme cold Aura enabling flight and the release of frigid gusts the potent icy spiritual energy radiated from her freezing everything in her vicinity into solid ice Wang tan Yun summoned his Dragon Aura effortlessly warding off the Overflow of the icy energy before leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea and continuing to sip while admiring X Chin's transformation from once broken waist she was evolving into a prodigy of the ice Phoenix the moment of metamorphosis had arrived Wong tion was a struck by xin's rapid transformation the ice Phoenix Feather was indeed extraordinary after an entire night of transformation the ice Phoenix Feather had fully fused with Joe chiny granting her a rare ice Phoenix Constitution along with the ability to harness the extreme cold spiritual energy that ordinary individuals could not as she opened her eyes two streams of extreme cold energy emanated from her G days I can finally cultivate again xinti exclaimed her face Al light with exhilaration the transformation brought about not only the ice Phoenix Constitution but also a sudden leap to the sixth tier of power an astonishing rebirth how does it feel to have fused with the ice Phoenix Feather Wong tion marveled at X chin before and after changes her entire demeanor had shifted it feels remarkable not only have my meridians healed but I now possess the ice Phoenix Constitution allowing me to control the extreme cold spiritual energy that others cannot xinti was thrilled with the ice Phoenix Constitution she would no longer be subjected to humiliation that is Splendid Wong tion replied calmly taking another sip of tea thank you benefactor for granting me this ice Phenix Constitution I would Brave mountains of knives and seas of fire for you X chiny declared kneeling before Wong tion in gratitude she understood that without his assistance her transformation would have been impossible Wong tion had a bestowed upon her a second chance at life rise Wong tion urged I helped you because I saw a reflection of my former self in you he wished to alleviate any pressure she might feel and plan to introduce her to the Royal melum once their relationship had deepened if he were to make such a request now she might misconstrue it as a mere transaction for the ice Phoenix Feather potentially inciting her resistance thank you benefactor XO chiny reiterated her gratitude as she stood she then scrutinized wangon determined to Ed His Image into her memory he was the beacon of light during her darkest times and she vowed to remember him well don't not call me benefactor simply refer to me as brother tion Wong tion hoped to foster a closer bond between them which would facilitate her eventual introduction to the Royal melum to meet the old sage tion brother tion xinti hesitantly addressed him her eyes filled with reverence upon disembarking from The Vessel they realized that Dawn had already broken suddenly recalling something X chingi exclaimed named brother tion today is the final day of our Academy's internal selection for the Ching long tournament I wish to give it another try X chingi felt a twing of reluctance to accept defeat at the hands of Xiao chingu she yearned to participate in the Ching long tournament and demonstrate to everyone that The Talented XO chingi had returned very well I shall accompany you and cheer you on Wong tion replied eager to witness the extent of XO Chin's new found prowess encouraged by Wong tion's support xin's determination solidified chapter 85 the Return Of The Prodigy after several days of Arena competitions the academy had already secured one spot for the ching-long tournament that of lucii today the second spot would be decided as noon approached Xiao Ching Shu had already defeated four disciples in the arena exuding an aura of invincibility who dares to challenge me xia ching Shu proclaimed confidently sword in hand below the arena no one dared to step forward her overwhelming strength had left them in awe senior sister Shia is formidable after breaking through to the fourth tier she has no rival among the younger generation except lucyi indeed it seems likely that the final spot for the Ching long tournament will be hers I concur no one dares to challenge senior sister Shia at this point this sentiment was echoed not only among the disciples but also among the teachers and the sage of the academy all of whom believe that the second spot for the Ching long tournament would belong to Xiao Ching Shu however at that moment a determined voice rang out from a distance I will challenge you xinti Resolute made her way toward the arena step by step upon hearing her declaration the crowd turned to look and laughter erupted when they recognized her this waste has little strength yet her audacity is commendable does she not remember how badly she was beaten by senior sister Shia yesterday perhaps she has lost her mind almost all the disciples scoffed at X Chin's apparent overconfidence and even the teachers regarded her challenge as a self-inflicted humiliation only the sage lynching Shan sensed a change in x chingi she seems different Lin Ching Shan furrowed his brow xingsi had concealed her Aura making it difficult for anyone but the top experts to detect her transformation even if a teacher vaguely sensed her or a shift the stigma of her past as a waste LED them to dismiss it as mere illusion you waste you dare to challenge me did you not learn your lesson yesterday Xiao Ching Shu mocked entirely dismissive of xinti today it remains uncertain who will be the Victor xiny approached the arena with calm determination her gaze fixed on xia Ching Shu ignited by an insatiable fighting Spirit xia Ching Shu had often bullied her in the past and this time she would reclaim what was rightfully hers ha you think you can defeat me not in this lifetime Xiao Ching Shu sneered shaking her head disdainfully since you wish to be beaten I shall oblige and teach you a lesson today feeling her dignity challenged Xiao chingu resolved to deliver a thorough beating ensuring X chingi understood the consequences of being a waste the disciples watching from below the arena shook their heads at xin's stubbornness alas this waste is utterly delusional she seeks only to invite disaster isn't that the truth perhaps she is dreaming maybe she believes she has returned to being a prodigy and dares to challenge senior sister Shia how laughable the disciples below the arena erupted in laughter treating xinti as a mere joke with no one genuinely believing in her capabilities unfazed by the jeers XO chingi addressed Xiao Ching Shu senior sister you have already battled four disciples and exhausted considerable spiritual energy I do not wish to take advantage of you I propose that you recover first and then we can duel this suggestion only served to amuse Xiao chingu further you put on quite the ACT I need no recovery to handle you with a dismissive smirk she vanished from her position reappearing directly in front of xinti attempting to repeat her previous tactic she aimed a punch at XO chiny however this time X chingi extended her right hand precisely catching xia Ching shu's fist and neutralizing its Force tell you what is happening you actually caught my punch Xiao chingu gasped in disbelief although she had not used her full strength she had still exerted a portion of her power which should have been beyond the capability of a waste to counter yet the reality was that XO chingin not only caught her punch but did so with remarkable ease the disciples below the arena were momentarily taken aback at xin's unexpected defense did I misse that this worthless individual actually managed to block a punch from Sister sha you are not mistaken xinti indeed caught sister xia's blow but how did she accomplish this it hardly requires contemplation sister xia must have shown her mercy the disciples unanimously believed that sister sha had held back otherwise How could a mere waste possibly withstand her might however the teachers and more advanced disciples discerned a deeper truth teacher it seems XO chinti has undergone a transformation one instructor remarked this match is about to become intriguing the teacher mused stroking his long beard with evident interest seeing XO chingi this supposed waste absorb her punch Xiao Ching Shu felt a mix of embarrassment and rage after just one night your strength has indeed increased yet relying solely on this will not suffice to defeat me with a cold smile xia Ching Shu swiftly struck at XO Chin's ample chest with her other hand channeling her spiritual energy to enhance the force by 20% nevertheless this strike was again intercepted by X chinti who instinctively summoned The Frigid energy within her body to withstand the blow as the icy chill enveloped her hand Xiao chingu suddenly realized that XO chinti had changed you you can actually wield spiritual energy now and it's the extreme cold energy xia chingu exclaimed in astonishment indeed so I advise sister sh to take this seriously xiny calmly suggested ha to deal with you I need not exert my full strength suddenly unleashing her spiritual energy xia Ching shu's Ora surged allowing her to break free from xin's grasp realizing that Xiao Ching Shu had gone all out XO chingi did not dare to be negligent and activated her own extreme cold energy behold my sword xia chingu brandished her long sword and launched a fierce thrust toward XO chingi the blade radiating a faint spiritual Aura xinti stood her ground channeling her extreme cold energy into her sword as she met the attack headon in no time the two were engaged in a fierce battle the sounds of clashing metal echoed continuously and sword energy spilled forth particular L the extreme cold sword energy which lowered the temperature significantly in its wake freezing the ground upon contact the onlooking disciples were left in shock how is this possible after just one night XO chingi this waste has become so formidable remarkable she actually countered Xiao chingu sword technique directly and why does XO Chin's sword energy carry the essence of extreme cold since when did xinti become this powerful all the disciples were left dumbfounded initially expecting a one-sided fight only to witness an evenly matched contest xin's extraordinary performance astonished not only the Academy's disciples but also their teachers and mentors if I am not mistaken xiny appears to be utilizing extreme cold energy one perceptive teacher stated incredulously indeed you are correct xinti is indeed employing extreme cold energy and it is remarkably pure another teacher remarked visibly excited extreme cold energy is a rare Talent among Millions moreover chinti possesses a true trump card yet to be revealed Lin Ching Shan seemed to discern something but refrained from voicing it his gaze toward XO chingi brimming with excitement and anticipation another unparalleled genius was about to emerge from their Academy how could this not Exhilarate him on the arena after a prolonged struggle neither party could gain the upper hand prompting xia Ching shu to regret not replenishing her spiritual energy earlier I was careless this waste has actually grown so strong had I not fought for match prior and exhausted half my energy she would never have been my opponent clenching her long sword Shia chingu resolved to use her Yin character technique for one final push with xin's sixth tier strength she could never withstand her fourth tier Yin character technique XO chingi having also expended considerable energy recognized her current state was insufficient to defeat xia chingu with xia Ching Shu at the fourth tier while she had merely broken through to the sixth tier her chances diminished with each passing moment therefore she had to strike decis ly sister Shia I will cleanse the shame I have borne for 6 years upon you xin's beautiful eyes suddenly radiated determination her extreme cold energy surging dramatically as a pair of ice blue Phoenix wings materialized behind her the emergence of These Wings ignited a frenzy throughout the entire Academy chapter 86 XO Chin's resounding Triumph the appearance of the ice Phoenix wings astonished everyone present what is this how could X chiny sprout a pair of ice blue wings from her back incredible the the moment those wings manifested XO Chin's entire Aura transformed indeed how could xinsi have become so powerful overnight it defies belief the disciples buzzed with excitement and even the teachers gazed in astonishment yet none could discern the true nature of those ice blue wings teacher what exactly are those ice blue wings on X Chin's back they seem to contain an immense amount of extreme cold energy nearly every teacher gaze turned toward lining Shan those are the ice Phoenix wings xinti has awaken the ice Phoenix body Lin Shing Shan well versed in such matters immediately recognized the wings coalescing behind xinti Oinky has awakened the ice Phoenix body all the teachers collectively gasped in disbelief such a rare Constitution occurs once in a 100 million it was unfathomable that XO chingi had encountered it yes she has awakened the ice Phoenix body Lin Ching Shan equally astonished mused over the rapid transformation of xinti from a waste to an extraordinary genius in a near day his gaze instinctively flickered toward wangon at the edge of the Arena suspecting that wangon had aided xinti in Awakening her ice Phoenix body given that he had visited her the previous day on the arena Xiao Ching Shu stared incredulously at the pair of wings radiating powerful extreme cold energy behind XO chingi how is this possible she has become so formidable overnight Xiao chingu could not accept this the waste she had kicked aside just yesterday now seemed to surpass her in strength xinti phased by the gazes surrounding her held only one conviction to defeat Xiao chingu and eradicate the humiliation of the past 6 years extreme cold Tempest with a mighty flap of her ice Phoenix wings xinti conjured a bone chilling storm instantly a piercing icy Gale erupted before her resembling a ferocious ice Beast clawing and devouring everything in its path the surrounding spiritual energy surged toward her like a tidal wave forming a massive Vortex while the temperature plummeted as though entering a frigid snowbound realm causing Shivers to race through all present this extreme cold Tempest sliced through the air like a razor sharp ice blade exuding an overwhelming chill and pressure that sent shivers down spines it resembled a frigid Phoenix soaring and wreaking havoc in the air freezing everything it touched the disciples surrounding the arena recoiled in fear a struck by The Tempest Smite meanwhile Shou Ching Shu on the arena trembled from the cold yet her eyes glimmered with defiance I will not lose Xiao chingu resolutely bit her lip and Unleashed her Yin character technique with a flick of her Jade finger she elegantly drew a mountain character in the air before her I in an instant a torrent of spiritual energy surged forth like a bursting Dam imbuing the character with the Grandeur and might of a mountain as the extreme cold Tempest gathered its power it charged like a fierce tiger down the mountain toward Shou Ching Shu wherever it passed the arena seemed Enchanted instantly solidifying into hard ice blocks Xiao Ching Shu undeterred propelled her Mountain character technique like a cannonball resembling an indomitable Mountain charging with overwhelming Force toward the extreme cold Tempest the two astonishing energies collided at the center of the Arena akin to two meteors crashing together unleashing a cataclysmic energy the formidable force of the mountain character was momentarily able to withstand the Tempest but was ultimately shattered how is this possible my Mountain character technique was shattered Xiao Ching shu's defense crumbled entirely her Yin character technique had long been her ultimate Pride yet now it had been ruthlessly dismantled by X chiny the immensely powerful extreme cold Tempest akin to a sword effortlessly shattered the mountain character technique before pouncing on Xiao chingu like a fierce tiger in an instant it struck her the overwhelming energy akin to a Ferocious Beast sending her hurtling off the arena seeing Xiao Ching Shu flung from the platform XO chingi immediately retracted The Tempest though she harbored stain for xia Ching Shu she had no desire to take her life sister xia you have lost XO chingi stood triumphantly upon the arena like a Victorious goddess gazing down at her with an air of superiority meanwhile shiao Ching Shu lay on the ground a wilted flower her complexion as pale as papered eye in the span of a single day their roles had reversed a truly dramatic turn of events the disciples surrounding the arena were equally astounded in a way sister Shia actually lost good Heavens in just one day xinti has become this formidable that genius has returned in an instant all the disciples gazed at xinti with newfound respect no longer daring to mock or deride her the teachers of the academy were equally astonished

unprecedented Heights and our Academy shall once again produce a Peerless genius the teachers are all a flame with excitement Lin Ching xan is equally exhilarated a prodigy of such caliber is a rare treasure for any sect I hereby declare that the second slot for the Ching long competition is awarded to XO chinti Master Linn Ching Shan leaped onto the stage to announce this decision which ignited a fresh wave of astonishment among those present prior to this everyone had assumed that the second slot would undoubtedly go to Xiao chingu yet it has unexpectedly Fallen to XO chingi however they soon reconciled themselves to the outcome acknowledging that the revived xingsi indeed possesses the qualifications to participate in the Ching long competition xia Ching Shu sprawled on the ground felt a wave of Despair wash over her upon hearing the announcement regret noded her for underestimating her opponent had she fully restored her spiritual power she would have stood a significant chance of winning X chinti standing triumphantly on the stage felt a surge of Joy she had finally redeemed herself and no longer would anyone Dar to label her as a waste or mock her the source of her transformation was the masked man XO Chin's gaze drifted toward wongon at the edge of the stage her Clear Eyes briming with profound gratitude Wong tion witnessing XO isolation felt as though he was glimpsing his own future one day he too would remove his mask and present himself as the Invincible sixth Prince trampling all those who had once bullied him beneath his feet chapter 87 Encounter of two women who do you wish to win the Ching long competition commenced as scheduled the venue was the Royal Garden with a total of 100 Elites from the capital participating in this year's event besides

arrived alongside the Academy's disciples eager to observe the performance of this year's competitors especially his Royal brothers and sisters brother tion the match hasn't started yet let's go over there and take a look XO chiny pointed excitedly to a nearby Pavilion her eyes sparkling with joy the Royal Garden is typically not open to the public but on the day of the Ching long competition it welcomes visitors it was XO Chin's first visit and naturally everything here fascinated her all right that Pavilion also offers a view of the fish and the scenery across the lake Wong tion nodded he was well acquainted with the Royal Garden and did not share xin's level of curiosity The Pavilion resembling a pearl nestled upon the Lake surface was interconnected with several others through winding corridors forming a unique cluster akin to a dancing Dragon standing within the Pavilion felt like stepping into a fairy land where one could Revel in the enchanting sights of the lake the water mirrored the white clouds above and the weeping willows along the banks while the fish below frolicked and chased one another seemingly displaying their joy and Freedom the maple trees lining the River Bank unfolded like a vibrant painting with fiery red leaves golden yellows and jade green a riot of colors that captivated the e s a gentle breeze rustled the Maple Leaves it seemed to whisper Tales of autumn basking in the refreshing coolness of the breeze felt like being immersed in a Serene World providing a delightful escape from all worries the breathtaking scenery evoked awe

beautiful lake views to lift his Spirits the scenery here truly is exquisite brother tion what kind of fish is that in the lake the golden ones have wings they so beautiful xiny exclaimed from The Pavilion her excitement reminiscent of a child those are the celestial golden koi they are delicious when grilled and seasoned with a hint of cumin wongon instinctively replied brother tion have you ever tasted the celestial golden koi XO chiny inquired curiously Wong tion then realized that he had nearly revealed his identity and promptly added I've only heard others speak of it so I just mentioned it casually dto I see if given the chance I would love to try the taste of the celestial golden koi xinti said not dwelling on it further and returning her attention to the lakes's beauty just then a familiar melodious voice suddenly called from behind brother tion what a coincidence you are also here yuno approached with a radiant smile today she resembled a blooming White Lotus clad in a long snow white gown her graceful figure seemed to descended from the heavens each step a dance upon the notes of a Melody her beauty radiated like the first rays of Morning Sun warm and gentle utterly enchanting little CH Wong tion was pleasantly surprised he hadn't he expected to encounter yunio here however he soon realized that since she was participating in the Ching long competition her presence here was only natural simultaneously XO chingi also noticed yuno her Celestial Beauty left XO chinti momentarily entranced yet she was more concerned about Wong tion's warm demeanor toward yuno brother tion who is she XO chinti couldn't help but lean closer her intuition as a woman suggesting that this stunning Beauty shared a special bond with her brother tion this is yunio the daughter of the chilin Pavilion master and also a contestant in this year's Ching long competition wongon introduced warmly as he spoke yuno's gaze was drawn to XO chingi who Stood Beside wongon X chinti appeared pure and Charming her beauty akin to a blossoming flower vibrant and full of life she exuded a refreshing Aura reminiscent of a friendly neighbor girl brother tion who is this young

in this year's ching-long competition Wong tion succinctly introduced hello it's a pleasure to meet you yuno greeted warmly hello I'm equally delighted to meet you XO chingi responded politely however as the two women exchanged pleasantries an undercurrent of unusual tension began to simmer between them brother tion I just spotted a Grove of red trees over there and there are even deer within shall we go take a look yuno suggested pointing toward the nearby Grove it was yuno's first visit to the Royal Garden as well and she was equally intrigued by everything here I'll accompany you wongon replied turning to xinti chinti would you like to join us xinti glanced between yunio and wongon then shook her head no you two go ahead I would like to enjoy the fish here a little longer all right then we shall take our leave see you later wongon waved goodbye as he followed yuno toward the Grove XO chingi watched their departing figures an inexplicable sense of loss washing over her as she resumed her admiration of the fish in the lake the earlier Joy had dissipated meanwhile yunio felt quite pleased her brother had chosen to accompany her which filled her with happiness brother tion how did you come to to know Joe chiny yino asked her curiosity Peak I happened to be at the Academy on business and encountered her in a moment of distress so I lent her a hand and that s how we became acquainted Wong tion recounted without a second thought omitting the details so it was a case of Heroes saving the beauty yunio endeavored to keep her tone calm it asked not quite heroism it was merely a small favor wongon replied still oblivious to the subtle shift in yuno's tone I just heard you mention that xingsi is also partic ipating in this year's Ching Wong competition correct yino suddenly fixed her Gaze on wongon yes she represents the academy in the Ching Wong competition Wong tion confirmed with a nod then if we encounter each other in the competition who do you hope will win yunio asked her eyes sparkling with Intrigue Wong tion found himself taken aback by the question well of course I hope you win he exclaimed scratching his head awkwardly he realized then that he had given XE chiny the ice Phoenix Feather which might have inadvertently caused tension for yunio nevertheless he believed that even if they crossed paths in the competition given yuno's current strength she would have no trouble defeating XO chinti that s good to know yunio felt a surge of relief it indicated that she still held a certain place in brother tion's heart after wandering through the Royal Garden for a Time the Ching long competition officially commenced they began with a draw followed by matches on the corresponding platforms a traditional yet efficient method of competition yunio Drew platform A6 while Z Chi was assigned to platform B2 little CH you are on platform a and chingi is on platform B Wong tion noted as he observed their draw feeling a sense of relief this meant they wouldn't te face each other anytime soon only upon reaching the top eight would the strongest from each platform potentially Clash Yun brother tion I am the first match on platform B so I'll take my leave now xinti said with a respectful bow before swiftly making her way to platform B I wonder who my opponent on platform A5 will be yuno pondered furrowing her brow as per the rules the first match on platform a would be between competitors A1 and A2 the second match between A3 and A4 and the third match would be A5 against her no need to wonder your first match is against me X Chings voice cut through the AI or. at that moment a familiar voice filled with a provocative tone echoed from behind the sound which stirred a wave of disdain within yunio prompted her to turn around where she indeed beheld the hotty Visage of su qy in I that you suchin from Team A5 yunio inquired with a furrowed brow indeed it's me DW father arranged this I can hardly wait to trample you beneath my feet suin replied her Crimson lips curling into a smirk as she had long anticipated the arrival of the Ching long competition this would afford her the opportunity to mercilessly crush the so-called sheilan daughter underfoot yunio was taken back to discover that her assign number was orchestrated by suchen which dredged up the humiliation she suffered on the night of his Majesty's birthday had it not been for such Chen's drugging she would not have been cast onto the bed of the sixth Prince thereby losing her Purity perfect I too eagerly await our confrontation yuno declared her delicate fists clenched determined to repay the previous disgrace with interest then let us meet on the arena suchin tossed back turning to leave only to be halted by yuno's voice though not forget the loser must kneel and bow to me admitting that it was you who conspired against me that night yunio retorted her pretty face of flame with anger bow in apology < see if you can make me suin scoffed casting a disdainful glance at her before striding away as such Chin's figure receded Wong tion furrowed his brow the prime minister's influence was undeniably growing to the extent that even the draw for the Ching long competition could be manipulated Wong tion surmised that sujan Nan's power might be greater than he had anticipated nevertheless no matter how much she schemes true strength will ultimately Prevail in the arena with the black orb that brother tion gifted me I shall not be defeated yunio assured herself brimming with confidence though she had not yet ascended to the third grade realm her prowess at the peak of the fourth grade was sufficient to triumph over suchin exercise caution if sujan Nan can manipulate the draw he will undoubtedly have contingencies in place during the competition Wong tion warned he was acutely aware of sujan Nan's character he would never allow his daughter to lose thus it was prudent to remain vigilant for at a crucial moment suan Nan would likely intervene to secure his daughter's Victory thank you for the reminder brother tion I will be careful yuno nodded acknowledging her understanding of suan Nan's nature and keeping a watchful eye the Ching long competition soon commenced amidst the anticipation of the crowd. the first match of Arena B Xing CI faced a disciple from the chin family skilled in swordplay utilizing her extreme cold energy along with the word technique she effortlessly vanquished her opponent not even needing to employ her ice Phoenix wings XO Ching sees Victory only solidified yuno's resolve to defeat suqin n.i in the afternoon it was finally yunio and suchin turn in Arena a go go Wong tion cheered from below instilling yuno with renewed confidence the clash between these two stunning Beauties drew a throng of Spectators completely filling the arena look it's two of the four Great beauties of the capital facing off indeed the chilin daughter yunio and the prime minister's daughter suchin these two are sworn Rivals what happened do they have a history haven't you heard the Chile and daughter seduced the sixth Prince and ended up in his bed only to be caught red-handed by suchin his majesty was Furious and exiled the sixth Prince to the Royal tomb while also dissolving his engagement to sue qy in I ask that so the chin daughter certainly has a cunning side this match is bound to be entertaining the onlookers buzzed with gossip and as yunio overheard these rumors she clenched her teeth in Fury youen I will make you kneel and wash away this disgrace she vowed drawing her slender sword with determination huh you cannot win against me on this stage yunio this time I shall not only ruin your reputation but also disfigure you let us see if that brother tion of yours will still want you suchin spat venomously fueled by jealousy over yuno's Beauty and talent and her resentment that even the sword King had taken notice of her suchin was determined to utterly destroy yunio rendering her a REV figure then let me see if you possess such skill yuno challenged tightening her grip on her fists channeling her spiritual energy as she charged towards suchen with her sword suchin unperturbed gripped her long sword and met her head on soon the two women clashed fiercely upon the arena while yuno fought wongon remained Vigilant below keenly observing his surroundings he was certain that sujan Nan would manipulate events either within the arena or in its vicinity to ensure his daughter's Victory I must quickly uncover his schemes otherwise shiao will never be able to defeat suchin Wong tion thought scanning the arena for any signs of Foul Play after searching multiple angles he found nothing a Miss is it possible that the anomaly lies Beyond The Arena he pondered expanding his search radius until he finally detected something peculiar the area surrounding the arena appeared to be rigged with formations Wong tion's Keen eyes discerned eight sculptures placed not far from the arena though each bore a unique design they all exuded a faint Aura of spiritual energy too the untrained eye they would merely appear as decorative pieces of the Royal Garden however having gleaned knowledge of formations from two Elders of the formation sect and possessing the eye of formations Wong tion recognized their true purpose activating the eye of formations he focused his spiritual energy in his gaze confirming his suspicions indeed no wonder suchin was so adamant that she could not lose on this stage with the assistance of this formation yunio would struggle to overcome her however alas I understand formations this time you shall kneel before me a glint of Cold Light flashed in Wong tion's eyes chapter 89 disabling the formation from the Shadows on the arena yunio wielded her slender sword with the swiftness of the wind launching a Relentless assault on suchen her strikes resembled a tempest crashing like tumultuous waves each surge more formidable than the last suin found herself on the back foot taken aback by the immense growth in yuno strength since their last encounter how has she become so powerful has she truly reached the fourth grade suchin thought retreating under the pressure of yuno's assault yet the arena was finite and with each step back defeat loomed closer I have no choice but to resort to Talisman suchen gritted her teeth her right hand darting like lightning to retrieve a Talisman which she swiftly affixed to herself I in an instant a blinding light enveloped her and a Doppel Inger indistinguishable from her materialized on the arena the Doppel iner mirroring suchen in both form and weaponry surged forward like a gale its sword intent Fierce enough to Ren the Earth faced with this new threat yunio was compelled to fortify her defenses to Ina 2 against one scenario yuno's offensive was subdued by suchin but that was where the advantage ended suin struggled to gain the upper hand let alone suppress yunio observers were astounded when had the CH and daughter become so formidable even with the aid of a peak Doppel iner talisman suchin could only hold her ground against yunio how is it that despite both being at the fourth grade there is such a disparity in their abilities remember Doppel Ginger talismans have a time limit once the Doppel Ginger Fades the prime minister's daughter may very well be defeated the spectators were perceptive easily Discerning the balance of power in the arena as suchin struggled to break through frustration began to mount yet she was armed with numerous talismans one isn't sufficient then I shall use more suchin eyes glinted coldly as she retrieved four more Peak Doppel iner talismans affixing them to herself summoning four additional dopple iners the appearance of these four new figures elicited another wave of astonishment from the audience as expected of the prime minister's daughter she produced five Peak Doppel iner talismans in the blink of an eye what a fortune she must possess the crowd marveled at suchin lavish display of resources faced with five Doppel iners alongside suchin herself yunio began to feel overwhelmed forced to retreat against their unyielding Onslaught damn it suchin brought so many Doppel iner talismans in desperation yunio retrieved a black wooden from her spatial bracelet if she did not unleash her ultimate skill Victory would slip through her fingers you have your doppelgangers and I have my blacked and no matter how many you summon it will be feudal yunio resolved to fight back as soon as the was drawn she played a Melody entitled East Wind breaks the enchanting music flowed like a gentle stream akin to curling smoke soft rain and delicate veils resonating with a melodious Clarity that captivated the hearts of all who listened yet hidden within this melody was an unparalleled power capable of piercing through clouds and shaking the soul evoking an irresistible Force as the notes filled the air the five Doppel iners were instantly immobilized unable to advance fuchin to felt the impact of the music rendering her mind disoriented damn it this girl has even learned to attack with music suin exclaimed hastily channeling her spiritual energy to resist the terrifying Melody striving to maintain Lucidity yet the situation worsened the music not only assaulted her spirit but also slowed her spiritual energy flow filling her with Dread if her spiritual energy ceased to circulate defeat in the competition would be inevitable suddenly suchen retrieved an Exquisite Spirit pill from her person and placed it in her mouth determined to endure the confrontation with yunio until the end to see who would Outlast him especially since she still held her final trump card thus the two engaged in a battle of attrition on the arena observing this wangon seized the opportunity to approach one of the sculptures surrounding the arena this sculpture resembled a stone lion crafted from lustrous white Jade imbued with a rich flow of spiritual energy a the base of the stone lion cryptic runes were inscribed these were the Runes of a formation did sujan nin truly believe that no one would discern this formation Wong tion surveyed the vicinity and confirmed that no one was guarding the sculpture a wave of secret Delight washed over him with no one watching he could act freely he then placed his palm against the base of the stone lion and channeled his spiritual energy to erase all the runes inscribed there without the formation runes no matter how intricately arranged the formation could not operate after eliminating the runes from the stone lion Wong tion swiftly moved to another sculpture this one depicted a fierce tiger its claws bared in a menacing display yet it too bore and cribed formation runes faintly pulsing with spiritual power he proceeded to erase those as well Wong tion pressed his hand against the base of the stone tiger channeling his spiritual energy to swiftly wipe away the runes having completed this task he continued to the next sculpture his movements were rapid and he lingered for only a brief moment even if someone noticed they would likely assume he merely brushed against the sculpture before departing after successfully erasing the formation runes from two sculptures he utilized the same method to quickly eliminate the runes from the third fourth fifth sixth and seventh sculptures only the final sculpture remained once he eradicated the runes from this one the spirit locking formation would be entirely nullified Wong tion once more pressed his palm against the base of this sculpture and channeled his energy to swiftly erase the formation runes with that all eight sculptures had their formation runes obliterated signaling the complete dismantling of the formation on the arena disturbed by The Haunting Melody suchin began to falter as the battle dragged on the flow of her spiritual energy slowed despite having the Exquisite Spirit pill for replenishment she could not sustain her energy with her spiritual energy stagnant she was unable to resist the mental assault falling into a vicious cycle it was now or never she had to unleash her final move or she would undoubtedly lose today with her complexion as pale as death suchin could no longer withstand yuno's musical Onslaught desperate she resolved to activate the spirit locking formation a last resort arranged by her father sujan Nan only to be employed in dire circumstances yet the moment had arrived for a decisive outcome yunio I must admit your musical Talent is exceptional but alas on this Arena no matter how powerful you are you cannot defeat me surrender now a Sinister smile crept across suchin face as she produced a formation Stone from her belongings the key to activating the spirit locking formation she channeled her remaining spiritual energy into the stone which emitted a soft milky glow yunio I have warned you on this Arena you cannot Prevail against me allow me to Showcase my true abilities with a fierce expression suchin activated the spirit loocking formation however the formation failed to respond yuno's spiritual energy remained Unbound allowing her to continue playing the zither with unwavering Focus the spirit loocking formation was designed to seal the opponent spiritual energy rendering them incapable of using their powers once activated this was indeed a formidable formation difficult to detect if it had successfully activated defeat would have been certain for yunio what was happening why could she still use her energy to play xin's disbelief was palpable ey in a fit of desperation she took out another Exquisite Spirit pill pouring all the energy it released into the formation Stone the stone glowed brilliantly once more yet the spirit locking formation remained unresponsive why wasn't it reacting what was going on panic-stricken suchin attempted several more times but to no avail ultimately succumbing to despair meanwhile yunio continued her performance unleashing wave after wave of zither music that left suchin utterly defenseless it is time for you to exit the stage yunio suddenly quickened her Pace doubling the speed and power of her melodic assault uchin already drained of energy found herself unable to withstand the Amplified force of the music with a splatter blood erupted from her mouth as she collapsed to the ground her spiritual energy violently reversing within her should the onslaught continue suin risked losing her life on the arena observing this yunio ceased her playing and approached suin with her slender sword poised at her throat sqin you have lost yuno declared from her elevated position the onlookers gasped in astonishment the daughter of the Prime Minister had been bested in such a manner who would have thought that music could serve as a weapon they had witnessed firsthand the prowess of the Kieran Maiden whose combat strength rivaled that of a third tier Warrior suchin was no match for her suin could hardly believe she had been defeated by yunio despite her meticulous preparations why had she ultimately fallen short a deep sense of unwillingness surged within her she could not accept losing so easily yunio do you expect me to concede that is simply out of the question a flicker of venomous determination flashed in suchin eyes as she conjured a small orb without hesitation she crushed it releasing a dense cloud of Ching smoke that enveloped her completely cough cough the noxious fumes forced yunio into a fit of coughing as though an invisible hand were gripping her throat obscuring her vision with a thick hazed a te that moment a sword as sharp as ice shot forth from the smoke like a bolt of lightning aimed directly at yuno's heart be careful wangon witnessing this from below the arena felt a surge of urgency The Spectators collectively gasped taken aback by such's ruthless demeanor fortunately yunio had anticipated suchin desperation as the sword lunged towards her chest she deafly sidestepped narrowly evading the lethal strike that grazed her she actually dodged it suchin was utterly astonished this was her final desperate attack with her strike thwarted her position within the smoke was compromised prompting yunio to retaliate without hesitation I in that instant she disregarded all caution and thrust her sword toward such Chin's chest should it connect suchin would likely perish on the spot however just as yuno's sword was about to pierce suchin a thunderous voice echoed from above stop the commanding shout rang out like a clap of Thunder reverberating with such force that yunio was compelled to stagger back several steps her sword slipping from her grasp the sheer power behind that voice was astounding brother seeing her elder brother arrive Su Chen's heart ignited with a flicker of hope you dare to harm my sister suchong have you tired of living the murderous intent in such Chong's eyes was palpable as he Unleashed his formidable Aura without reservation towering and possessing the strength of a second tier Warrior such Chong's presence overwhelmed yunio leaving her utterly powerless wangon upon witnessing this furrowed his brow tightly resembling a sword drawn from its sheath as he leaped onto the arena the Ching long competition is traditionally a one-on-one Affair does the Sue family intend to use numbers to overpower a single opponent Wong tion's gaze was sharp and piercing as he released his own Aura like a volcanic eruption though he was merely a third tier Warrior the might he exuded surged forth like a tempestuous wave rivaling such chunk intensity who do you think you are to speak to me Su Chong's eyes widened like a hungry tiger sizing up its prey astonished that this third tier Warrior could withstand his second Tier Energy I am tion Wong an elder of shushan Wong tion's voice was icy slicing through the air like a Winter's chill upon realizing he was facing the sword King suchong's expression sh Ed dramatically the battle at Kieran Pavilion had made Wong tion's name resonate throughout the capital even first tier experts had suffered Grievous injuries at his hand and suchong being merely a second tier Warrior dared not act too aggressively D ah it is the sword King we concede this round suong recognizing Wong tion hastily sought to deescalate the situation brother I refus to concede suen unwilling to accept defeat clambered to her feet blood still staining her lips her once proud Visage now pale and drawn yet even in her weakened State she remained defiant if you refuse to concede then we shall continue fighting until you do yunio stepped forward her expression Resolute let us continue we shall take responsibility for our lives suchin wiped the blood from her lips her eyes glinting with Fierce determination as though she were prepared to engage yunio in a battle to the death however her elder brother such Chong stood as an insurmountable barrier thwarting her resolve in om more fighting we concede with that declaration he firmly grasped suchin hand guiding her away from the arena though a myriad of emotions swirled within her suchen found herself compelled to yield to her brother's formidable presence which stood like a lighthous amidst a tempest halt since you concede you must bow and apologize yunio like a blazing meteor charged forth once more typically gentle she now radiated a Steely resolve apologize you may as well wait for your next life the matter of you seducing the sixth Prince is an indisputable fact suin cold snort pierced through Yun Chu's Heart Like A sharp blade resolutely she leaped off the arena determined to make Yu bear this unfounded stigma rendering her forever unable to hold her head high yunu wished to pursue her but someone was quicker wongon like a swift Gale stepped in to block suchin in such chunk path sqin there was an agreement prior to the competition you lost and thus must kneel and apologize now that you have admitted defeat kneel before yunu and offer your apology Wong tion's gaze was as cold as distant Stars his voice resonating like thunder he sought to compel suchin to clarify the matter not only for yunu Honor but also for the reputation of the sixth Prince Wong tion aimed to seize this opportunity to unveil the truth to the world make my sister kneel and apologize you are nothing but dreamers suchong's Roar was akin to crashing waves reverberating painfully in the ears of those present simultaneously his Aura erupted like a volcano once more if she does not kneel and apologize she shall never leave this place wongon summoned the zujan sword from the system space its Blade shimmered with a chilling light resembling the side of death aimed directly at the siblings suchin and such Chong I in that instant the atmosphere became taunt like a drawn boering ready to snap at any moment chapter 91 the storm bruise wongon gripped the zusan sword his piercing gaze fixed upon suchong and suchin who defiantly met his stare sword King do you truly intend to obstruct us do you know who our father is such Chong's eyes widened in a fierce glare attempting to intimidate I know the current prime minister sujan on yet even so you should be prepared to accept defeat Wong tion showed no inclination to relent very well since you are so eager to seek death I shall oblige a Sinister smile crept upon such chunk lips as he waved his right hand un leashing a torrent of Blazing Flames that surged like a fiery Dragon instantly a crimson Long Blade manifested in his grasp the moment the blade appeared the surrounding temperature soared as if entering a fiery Abyss causing the onlookers to instinctively Retreat the atmosphere was charged with tension just then a squad of guards hurriedly approached be why the queenkk decree suchen is summoned to the palace for Te the captain clad in golden armor announced loudly upon hearing this the crowd erupted in a astonishment especially yunu and wongon who never anticipated that at such a critical moment the queen would suddenly summon suchin leaving them with no justification to hinder her otherwise it would equate to Defying the Queen's orders a grave offense hearing the queen summons such Chin's lips curled into a triumphant smile yunu sword King will you still try to stop me suin raised an eyebrow with a smug expression you may evade for a moment but you cannot Escape for a lifetime one day you shall pay for your mistakes Wong tion replied cooly that I am about to become the fourth Prince's princess do you think you have the right to make me pay suchin declared with arrogance then let us wait and see Wong tion retorted isy very well I look forward to it I am eager to see whether it is you who will make me pay or I who will make you pay after tossing this hoty remark suchin followed the guards with her brother such Chong trailing behind as they departed Wong tion clenched his fists in frustration his current strength was still insufficient a decree from the queen had allowed Ed suchin to leave effortlessly and since the queen was the mother of the fourth Prince Wong Hong should Wong Hong Ascend to the throne avenging himself would become even more challenging thus he needed to hasten his path to power yunu too felt discontent but alas the opposing force was too formidable leaving her with no choice but to relent as KN fell at the prime minister's residence prime minister suenan suchin suchong fourth Prince Wong Hong and the leader of the lho mountain sect musuan gathered in the study to discuss matters. M SEC leader have you determined why the spirit locking array failed suenan inquired Darkly casting a somber glance at musuan originally Su Janan had meticulously arranged the spirit locking array to ensure his daughter a secure advancement to the finals planning to leverage her Fame to Mary forth Prince Wong Hong however he never anticipated that she would be eliminated in the first round of the Ching Wong competition depriving her of the opportunity for Glory and nearly exposing their scheme against the sixth Prince this infuriated Suzi Huna has been confirmed that someone secretly erased the array runes from the eight statues which caused the spirit locking array to fail musuan reported without embellishment someone clandestinely erased the array runes who could it be suenan furrowed his brow father I suspect it was sword King he has repeatedly opposed us it must be him suchong asserted without hesitation did you see him do it with your own eyes Su Janan shot a glance at hiso suuch Chong remained silent for he had not w Wang tion erasing the array runes however musuan standing nearby chimed in prime minister I also suspect it was him he was the one closest to the scene along with yunu and given his long-standing imity with us he is certainly involved while musuan was not entirely certain it was Wong tion he harbored a desire for vengeance wongon had killed numerous Disciples of lungo mountain including the Chief Elder Jang beo yanan sought Revenge yet was wary of the power behind Wang tion the shushan sect thus he aimed to embroil suenan to deal with wangon avoiding direct conflict with shushan while still avenging himself suenan squinted contemplating for a moment then resolutely declared regardless of whether this matter was instigated by sword King his presence has severely disrupted our plans it is time to find an opportunity to eliminate him prime minister sword King has the backing of shushan it is said he is an elder there and could possibly be the next sect leader are you not afraid of offending shushan fourth Prince Wong Hong interjected after sipping his tea if not for his quick thinking and having the queen summon suchin to the Palace this morning their plot to frame the sixth Prince would surely have been exposed thus Wong Hong was reluctant to easily offend a powerful sect especially at this critical juncture in the competition for the throne rest assured your highness dealing with sword King will not involve you just focus on your competition once you secure the championship in the Ching long competition your value in the eyes of the emperor will soar suenan reassured him I as the area around the arena properly arranged I do not wish for a mishap like that of sister Chen to occur again Wong Hong placed great importance on this ching-long competition securing Victory would significantly enhance his chances of inheriting the throne fear not your highness everything has been arranged meticulously this time I have ensured the array is more concealed and Powerful even top tier array Masters will not detect it for added safety I have also assigned dedicated Personnel to guard it ensuring absolute security suenan confidently stated too assists the fourth prince in his Ascent Su Janan was highly invested in this ching-long competition should fourth Prince Wong Hong win the championship he would be one step closer to the throne excellent I do not wish for any further errors the fifth Prince seventh Prince and eighth Prince are also participating in this Chong competition particularly the eighth prince who possesses extraordinary talent and is the disciple of the Dragon Gates leader I must triumph over him to gain my father's favor fourth Prince Wong said Gravely among the princes Wong Hong was most wary of his elder brother and the eighth Prince although his elder brother guarded the borders he commanded an army of 500,000 and being of the same mother as the third Prince they collectively wielded 800,000 troops making them his greatest concern the eighth Prince with his remarkable Talent golden dragon energy in the backing of the top ranked Dragon Gate was not to be underestimated your highness rest assured With My Father Here you will undoubtedly secure victory in this Ching long competition suchin softly reassured him if you encounter that wretched yunu on the arena I implore you to show no mercy ensure you eliminate her die in the arena life and death are left to fate even if the chilin Pavilion wishes to blame you they cannot hold you accountable suin tone was sweet and alluring yet her words dripped with malice and murderous intent though not worry sister suchen I will certainly avenge today's grievance Wong Hong declared seizing such Chin's delicate hand his eyes glinting with lecherous and Sinister intent chapter 92 the fourth Prince's devious tactics after the first day's eliminations the 100 contestants had dwindled to 50 both yunu and Hong in advance to the second round with ease while XO chinti after a fierce battle also progressed though due to the different Arenas the three would not encounter one another for the time being early in the morning the Royal Gardens were once again filled with Spectators fervently discussing who would emerge as the champion of this ching-long competition Wong tion listened attentively most people favored the eighth Prince wangqing followed closely by the fourth Prince Wong Hong in terms of talent the eighth Prince was Superior yet the fourth Prince had been training for eight more years and had recently broken through to the third tier placing him a significant rank above the eighth prince in terms of cultivation therefore if the two were to clash predicting a Victor was indeed challenging as the crowd eagerly awaited the second round of eliminations commenced swiftly yunu faced a genius from a prestigious family in the capital who was at the fourth tier but wielded his family sword techniques with remarkable skill however under Yun Chu's Fierce assault of musical notes he began to falter Wong tion observing for a while noted that yunu had secured Victory and shifted his Focus to the third Arena where fourth Prince Wong Hong was engaged in a fierce battle with Hong in Wong Hong and Hong in both stood at the third tier realm wielding formidable techniques and weapons that matched each other in prowess thus their duel was fiercely contested with neither able to gain the upper hand the crowd of onlookers was thoroughly entertained frequently erupting into cheers it was unexpected for Hong in to push the fourth Prince to such lengths yet given his temperament he was likely to have a hidden strategy Wong tion's gaze was fixated on Wong Hong eager to discern his next move after forcing Hong in back with a single strike Wong Hong panting heavily regarded his opponent with a grave expression damn it how can hunging be so powerful even my long Dragon nine swords were thwarted after catching his breath a Sinister glint began to emerge in his eyes I cannot afford to lose here I am destined to claim the championship quietly a formation Talisman appeared in Wong hongk hand ready to be activated at a crucial moment meanwhile Hong in remained completely oblivious to the fourth Prince's impending deceit fourth Prince let us continue she declared brandishing her Phoenix spear adjusting her state to its optimal form during this Ching long tournament she had no intention of conceding merely because her opponent was the fourth prince instead she resolved to unleash her full strength in the contest hanging your Phoenix Nirvana spear technique has indeed taken me by surprise but this is where it ends Wong Hong gripped his dragon scale sword tightly and charged toward Hong in like a tempest he radiated Azure dragon energy moving with the swiftness of lightning akin to a ferocious Azure dragon roaring toward her Hong in stood her ground a fierce Crimson spiritual flame erupting around her making her Phoenix spear appear as if it were a blaze come at me as Wong Hong closed the distance to within 2 m Hong in let out a fierce cry thrusting her Phoenix spear forward with tremendous Force resembling a flaming phoenix shrieking as it soar toward the oncoming Azure Dragon the two forces collided almost instantaneously and as they clashed the air around them grew unbearably hot The Spectators dared not blink fearful of missing this breathtaking battle after exchanging dozens of blows with neither able to prevail Wong Hong discreetly crushed the formation Talisman in his hand I in the next moment Hong Ying's figure abruptly froze as if time itself had stilled her seizing the opportunity Wong hongk dragon scale sword struck her left chest victory was his a surge of elation coed through Wong Hong as he forcefully kicked the immobilized hunging away she arked gracefully through the air before crashing heavily beyond the ring Crimson blood gushing from her wound s she fell outside the arena she violently spat out a mouthful of blood her delicate face turning pale the unexpected turn of events caused an uproar among the audience ultimately the dragon energy proved Superior the crowd erupted in cheers and some even began to flatter the fourth Prince on the spot fourth Prince is magnificent fourth Prince is so handsome fourth Prince is the strongest hearing the accolades around him Wong Hong lifted his chin looking down upon Hong in below the ring Hong in you have lost but I admire your spirit if you are willing to join my Wong resent as a personal guard I can offer you the position of Deputy guard the crowd looked on with envy and jealousy at the prospect of the fourth Prince recruiting Hong in as a personal guard it was well known that among the princes fourth Prince possessed the highest background talent and Prestige making him a likely candidate for the next ruler of the daian dynasty aligning with him promised immense prospects for the future such an opportunity was sought after by many yet hunging declined gracefully thank you your highness but I am accustomed to a free-spirited life and may not suit the palace's lifestyle clutching her chest wound a hint of Pride lingered on her stubbornly beautiful face what a pity for your talent if you refuse then it is settled Wong Hong then produced a small porcelain vial tossing it to her this is an exceptional healing Elixir take it home and consume it in a few days your injuries will mend with so many witnesses present he as the fourth Prince naturally had to exhibit the demeanor and Grace befitting his station thereby garnering favor indeed his gesture won him considerable Goodwill from the crowd the fourth Prince Is So Graceful and refined I adore him upon hearing the murmur of admiration a smile crept onto Wong hongk Lips This was precisely the effect he desired aspiring to be an emperor reputation held Paramount importance Wong tion however disregarded Wong hongk theatrics and rushed to Hong Ying's side sister hunging are you all right he asked concern etched on his face I am fine I simply regret losing the match Hong Ying's proud features were marred by frustration despite the fierce equality of their battle she had fallen to Wong Hong in an instant leaving her bewildered as to how she lost sister Hong did you notice anything strange during the fight Wong tion whispered having closely observed the match he felt a shift in the energy of the formation just before he saw Hong and being kicked off the stage he sought to uncover the source of that energy disturbance strange hunging furrowed her brow in contemplation and suddenly recall something if you hadn't mentioned it I might have overlooked it just as I was intensely battling with the fourth Prince my body suddenly froze as if time had halted rendering me immobile however it was only for a brief moment not even half a breath by the time I regained my senses I had already been pierced in the chest by the fourth Prince's sword and kicked off the stage just as I suspected Wong tion had harbored doubts about Wong hongk integrity and now it seemed he had indeed resorted to Despicable tactics to secure his victory Wong tion scanned the surroundings but despite his Keen scrutiny he could detect no fluctuations in the formation energy it appeared the formation was well concealed making it difficult to detect Wong tion was certain that the formation had been the culprit and he concentrated his spiritual energy in his eyes quietly activating the eye of the formation however upon opening the eye of the formation he still found nothing a Miss in the surroundings nor could he perceive any energy fluctuations how can this be could it be that he did not use a formation wongon continued to observe his surroundings through the eye of the formation yet still gleaned no results just as he was on the verge of giving up he suddenly noticed that as Wong Hong departed he was flanked by 18 golden armored guards and his eyes brightened so this formation is alive thanks to ISA erua e fua for the Divine authentication and to my family for their support normal updates will resume tomorrow Chapter 93 cultivating a Ral for oneself on the third day of the Ching long tournament yunio effortlessly Advanced her unparalleled enchanting all however xinti was unfortunate to face the eighth Prince wangqing under the Relentless assault of his golden dragon energy even her ice Phoenix Feather proved feudal the disparity in their Realms was insurmountable you have lost the eighth Prince wangqing pointed his long Yuan sword at the Fallen xingsi his gaze cold and unfeeling ey in this battle wangqing had not exerted his full strength merely using 30% of his power to defeat xinzi who wielded the ice Phoenix Feather unding the terror of his strength Wang tion observed from below the stage and upon witnessing the eighth Prince's formidable prowess he felt a surge of anticipation for the impending clash between him and his fourth brother Wong Hong I can't wait to see the confrontation between fourth brother and eighth brother I wonder who will emerge Victorious ideally both would be severely injured Wong tion harbored no fondness for the eighth Prince as his incompetence had led to a portion of the cultivation resources originally allocated to him being pilfered by wangqing over the years wonging had seized countless resources from him with the number of precious Elixir alone exceeding a 100 after XO Chin's defeat she descended from the stage her face a mask of dejection tonu I've let you down upon seeing Wong tion her eyes glistened with unshed tears conveying a sense of defeat for disappointing her benefactor the Gap and realm between you and the eighth Prince is too vast losing to him is entirely normal Wong tion offered a comforting remark but suddenly recalled something and continued however if you could Master a few profound word techniques you might stand a chance against him yes my integration with the ice Phoenix Feather was still too recent I barely had time to comprehend the word techniques moreover mastering profound word techniques requires more than just talent and diligence it necessitates guidance from a great Master to even grasp a fraction XO chiny side acknowledging that the word techniques were the essence of confusion not something everyone could comprehend even the prodigies within the academy could only grasp some rudimentary word techniques I happen to know someone whose word techniques rank among the best in the daian dynasty he is even more formidable than the instructors at your Academy if you were to take him as your Min I believe your strength would improve rapidly Wong tion suly encouraged her D who is it XO Chin's eyes lit up with anticipation her heart yearning for advancement more importantly she did not want to face Wong tion again with the disappointment of failure it is the former instructor of your Academy his word techniques are renowned not only in the Duan Dynasty but throughout the entire tion Shin continent after a moment's hesitation Wang tion revealed the identity of the master praising the old instructor he knew that to persuade XO chiny to seek the old instructor he could not simply deceive her she needed to feel the desire to approach him herself lest she become resentful and leave thus the most prudent course of action would be to allow her to meet the master herself however Wong tion's thoughts were overly simplistic impossible I would sooner die than meet him xinti vehemently rejected the notion upon hearing that the person in question was the master her expression grew cold she vividly remembered that it was this master who had indirectly caused her parents demise had it not been for his Relentless pursuit of the so-called Unity of man and nature forsaking his family and kin her childhood would not have been so tragically marred chinki if you aspire to become a top tier master in confusion ISM and dosm taking him as your Mentor is the best choice Wong tion attempted to persuade her but xinti interrupted him sharply tangu enough I will not be his disciple I am weary I shall take my leave with that xinti turned to leave only to encounter a graceful Beauty approaching her the newcomer possessed a Visage as delicate as a peach blossom lips as if painted with Vermilion eyes reminiscent of autumn Waters and brows like distant mountains she was akin to a Celestial being descended ended to Earth her figure swayed gently akin to a Willow in the wind or a beautiful Bloom by the pond exuding charm and Brilliance upon seeing her XO chinti instinctively halted tangu I have advanced yuno exclaimed joyfully as she approached casting a glance at Jo chingi with a hint of intention I knew you would succeed later I shall take you to enjoy some Delicacies what would you like to eat wongon affectionately ruffled yuno's hair I wish to have won noodles and soup dumplings yuno replied with Glee then turned her gaze curiously towards XO chiny Miss XO how did your competition go I lost XO chiny replied her tone laced with reluctance she felt a strong desire not to be overshadowed by yunio particularly as she witnessed wangonk affectionate demeanor towards her which stirred a hint of displeasure within her you were eliminated so soon I had considered you my rival yuno teased playfully her beautiful eyes sparkling with Mischief congratulations on your advancement X shiny responded clenching her delicate fists in frustration her countenance darkening as she sought to leave yet yunio barred her path Whispering into her ear with your current Talent no matter how hard you train you will never catch up to me you are not worthy to be my rival tonu does not favor the weak those words seem to strike a cord deep within Jo chingi igniting a sudden determination in her clenching her fists she turned to Wong tion and declared tonu I agree to take the master as my teacher When shall we go to see him deep down xinti had no desire to meet the master but she was even less willing to concede defeat to the girl before her Wong tion was taken aback by XO Chin's sudden change of heart just moments ago she had vehemently sworn that she would never meet the master yet now she beseeched him to take her to see him Wong tion glanced at yunio beside him he was no fool that it was evident that yuno's whispered words had prompted XO Chin's agreement clearly XO Chin's shift in attitude was tied to Yo's influence when Wong tion looked at yuno she winked at him further solidifying his belief that she had aided him truly she was a prodigy for with just a few words she had spurred XO chinki who had previously been Resolute against meeting the master to actively seek him out however wangon remained unaware of the precise words yunio had used to provoke XO chinti into such a fervent desire to meet the master I will take you to see the master now Wong tion declared fearful that xinti might change her mind again all right let us go at once xinsi agreed readily casting a glance at yunio she had already succumbed to the eighth Prince and was determined not to be outdone by this prodigious girl yunio watched as Wang tion and XO chinti departed together letting out a silent sigh in her effort to assist wongon she had inadvertently cultivated a rival for herself whether this was a wise decision or not remained uncertain chapter 94 the master enlightens within the bamboo Cottage east of the Imperial melum the master reclined leisurely in a rocking chair brewing tea while engrossed in a book savoring a blissful existence however Midway through his reading he suddenly sense two distinct auras approaching him from a distance point1 Aura was familiar to him he recognized it as Wong tion the other Aura however evoked a sense of both familiarity and warmth has that lad truly brought chiny here the Master's expression shifted and he swiftly Rose from his chair after a brief moment of contemplation he hastily concealed his book and prepared himself for the imminent meeting he was about to see his granddaughter and naturally he wished to present his best self as the master tidied himself won and Jo chingi arrived at the entrance of the bamboo Cottage this is it let me take you inside to meet him Wong tion said as he stepped forward only to realize that XO chingi had not followed chingi come in he called out xinti hesitated her decision to meet the master had been spurred by yuno's provocation but now that they were here she found herself unable to take the final step tangu I think it would be better to come another day I still have matters to attend to at the Academy xin's heart was still unprepared to accept this grandfather leading her to falter at the last moment wongon was about to call out to her when someone else spoke up first chinki the master unable to contain his anticipation emerged from the cottage his aged face brimming with excitement Point 12 years prior he had personally escorted x chiny to the academy and he had not seen her since during the decades spent in solitude at at the melum he had often reflected on whether he had made the right choice back then throughout his introspection he had yearned for his granddaughter who was the only family he had left in this world upon hearing that voice XO Chin's body stiffened slightly she dared not turn to face him chinki I have reflected for 10 years will you not forgive me the master pleaded his voice trembling with emotion the pitiful look in his eyes was heart-wrenching this was the former head of the academy a towering figure in Confucianism and dosm yet before this young girl he appeared so humble and helpless you are not my grandfather xinti stubbornly wiped away the tears that welled at the corners of her eyes and resolutely turned to exit the melum seeing this the Master's eyes glistened with unshed tears yet he refrained from pursuing her knowing that she had not forgiven him no amount of pleading would change that Wong tion however could no longer bear to watch he swiftly stepped in front of XO chinti chiny you've come this far why are you still running away Wong tion implored earnestly xinti remained silent standing still as tears streamed down her cheeks you may not ackowledge him as your grandfather but that does not preclude you from becoming his disciple and learning from him Wong tion continued with a novel approach the master s teachings on the word method are the most powerful in the tonan continent if you study under him in just a few years you could become The Strongest Disciple at the Academy even if you encounter the eighth Prince wangqing again you will have the strength to confront him surprisingly Wong ton s words caused XO chinti to waver indeed she had come here to learn the word method if she left now she would forever be unable to catch up to yunio she did not wish to suffer defeat once more at I in this critical moment yuno's provoking remarks had inspired XO chingi to resolve to stay I can remain and take him as my teacher but I will not acknowledge Him as my grandfather xinti dried her tears her delicate face Resolute all right please wait a moment while I discuss this with the master wongon exclaimed exhilarated by xin's willingness to stay he hurried to the master and conveyed XO Chin's wishes upon hearing this the master readily agreed that of course as long as she is willing to see me I will accept her regardless of her identity the master was overwhelmed with joy tears of happiness streaming down his face even if he could not be her grandfather being her teacher would suffice as he approached the end of his life if he could pass on his knowledge to his own granddaughter he would have no regrets good then I will bring her to see you wongon said said triumphantly as he returned to xinti it's settled the master has agreed to your conditions upon hearing this xinti reluctantly followed won backed as XO chingi Drew nearer the Master's heart raced with excitement his eyes brimming with tears chingi you have grown taller and more beautiful and you the master suddenly noticed an aura of extreme cold energy within his granddaughter leaving him astounded he recalled that her meridians had been damaged how had she now become a vessel of extreme cold energy let me clarify I have not yet forgiven you but I can agree to take you as my teacher xiny asserted defiantly not a problem as long as you are willing to see me I will impart all my knowledge to you the master responded once again overwhelmed with emotion please come inside I have brewed tea the master was as elated as a child after 10 years of Gloom he finally saw a glimmer of hope today however he was most grateful to Wong tion without him he would never have had the opportunity to reunite with his granddaughter after a brief reunion the master personally escorted Joe chiny out of the Imperial mosum arranging for her to come during the day to learn the word method and return to the academy at night for rest the master wished for her to stay but the conditions on his side were too rudimentary he could only allow her to return to the academy in the evening as it was not far from the melum watching XO Chin's figure fade from his sight the master lingered reluctant to depart they ve all left there s no to linger you will see her every day from now on wongon chided shaking his head at the old man who was clearly a doting grandfather your highness what is the nature of the extreme cold energy within chinki are her meridians truly healed the Master's gaze was intense as he looked at wongon he needed to confirm whether XO Chin's meridians were indeed restored to support her learning of the word method you must express your gratitude to me for were it not for my intervention with the ice Phoenix Feather to reconstruct XO Chin's body how could her Meridian have possibly recovered wongon ban remarked half in earnestness and half in justest upon hearing that Wong tion had utilized such a precious ice phoenix feather for his granddaughter's restoration the old scholar was so moved that he immediately knelt before Wong tion with a thud I XO Yong Chong am deeply grateful to your highness for saving my granddaughter henceforth I vow to serve you loyally without any regrets the old Scholars demeanor was exceedingly solemn this had been pre-arranged with Wong tion and what touched the old scholar even more was the fact that Wong tion had employed the invaluable ice phoenix feather for the sake of his granddaughter such a profound kindness demanded repayment Wong tion was taken aback by the old scholar sincerity yet he quickly accepted his Allegiance Tio successfully seized the throne he indeed required robust allies by his side even when he ascended to the throne he would need trustworthy individuals to support him rise I happen to have a question to pose to you wongon called out your highness whatever inquiries you may have I shall answer them without reservation the old scholar replied his attitude now imbued with a measure of respect towards wongon why did you abandon your wife and children to come to the Royal tomb wongon inquired perplexed surely such a formidable expert could not have been relegated to the Royal tomb by the emperor Theo be candid with your highness over 20 years ago my cultivation stagnated and I could not break through in pursuit of transcending this bottleneck and achieving the legendary status of a Confucian Immortal I chose to leave alone never to return wholly devoted to the Ethereal pursuit of uniting with the heavens the old scholar recounted reflecting on the past regrettably after two decades of arduous Pursuit he remained empty-handed and had incurred many enemies in the Marshal world had it not been for my reckless Folly my wife son and daughter-in-law would not have met their untimely demise at the hands of my foes and xin's meridians would not have been crippled th to atone for my sins after avenging them I sent xinti to the academy and condemned myself to the Royal tomb for reflection forbidding myself from stepping outside even once of course my arrival at the Royal tomb was also a promise made to someone as he spoke of this matter his gaze dimmed considerably for it had long weighed heavily on his heart Wong tion was momentarily taken aback realizing that the old scholar had come to the Royal tomb for his own Penance then why did you not choose both paths Family Ties and the pursuit of of knowledge do not conflict Wong tion blurted out instinctively choose both choose both the old Scholars previously dim eyes suddenly sparkled with a glimmer of understanding as if a long standing not within him had been unraveled in that instant leading him to erupt into maniacal laughter indeed why did I not consider that I could select both the moment the old scholar achieved this Revelation a milky white Radiance emanated from him and a brilliant beam of white light descended from the heavens enveloping him while while the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly Wong tion was taken aback astounded that the old scholar had entered the realm of the immortal chapter 95 x chinia intentions in the pitch black KN that dazzling beam of white light was particularly striking accompanied by violent fluctuations of spiritual energy Wong tion gazed at the white pillar in astonishment he had never anticipated that the old scholar would attain Enlightenment and breakthrough at this moment the column of spiritual energy lasted only a few breaths before Vanishing Without a Trace after being bathed in the Ethereal energy the old scholar appeared considerably rejuvenated his once gray white hair had returned to Black his murky eyes had transformed into clear orbs and the wrinkles on his face had diminished significantly not only did he look younger but his Spirit also brimmed with Vitality akin to an old tree rejuvenated in spring with a sigh the old scholar expelled a breath of stale air feeling utterly invigorated thank you your high were it not for your guidance I might never have reached the realm of the Confucian Immortal the old Scholars thoughts were now unclouded and his gratitude towards wongon was profound the Confucian Immortal State he had long sought for over 20 years had finally been illuminated by wangonk words dispelling the fog in his heart this Enlightenment is your own doing only tangentially related to me wongon responded genuinely pleased for the old scholar after two decades of pursuing the Confucian way he had finally reaped the rewards a testament to his cumulative efforts without the foundational work he had laid the old scholar would not have been able to break through merely based on Wong tion single prompt regardless I must still express my gratitude to your highness the old scholar sincerely reiterated now that you have successfully transcended to the realm of the Confucian Immortal should we not celebrate this momentous occasion Wong tion produced several bottles of fine wine from his system space all of which he had procured during his travels indeed let us celebrate heartily tonight the old scholar exclaimed with unrestrained joy today marked the happiest day of his life in decades his beloved granddaughter had finally agreed to meet him and he had attained Enlightenment as a Confucian Immortal truly a double blessing worthy of Celebration that night the two indulged in hearty rry drawing their bond closer the following morning XO chinti approached gracefully carrying a food box sensing her presence the old scholar who had been sleeping off a hangover a ly awoke why precious granddaughter has arrived he exclaimed swiftly channeling spiritual energy to Rouse himself determined not to present a disheveled appearance to her hearing the commotion wongon dawned his mask and gathered himself chinti you have come the old scholar greeted eagerly only to be met with the unexpected chill of rejection I tangu here xin's beautiful eyes sought out the bamboo Cottage her Fair face betraying a hint of anticipation he is inside the old scholar repli replied feeling a twinge of disappointment at her immediate desire to see Wong tion yet he quickly rallied his granddaughter's visit alone was a source of Joy I brought him some Delicacies I shall go in to see him upon learning that wangon was inside xiny cheerfully made her way toward the bamboo Cottage while the old scholar stood there somewhat disheartened come in and join us for a meal xinti suddenly turned back to invite her grandfather this single utterance filled the old scholar with immense Joy very well he resp responded eagerly following her inside at that moment Wang tion had just finished adjusting his mask when he caught sight of XO chinti clad in white entering bringing with her a refreshing aura chinki good morning wangon greeted it is no longer early it is already the hour of the dog Tang you have yet to have breakfast have you I prepared some food for you please try it and see how it tastes X chinki said her heart brimming with joy as she opened the food box and began to lay out its contents steamed buns Bean cakes spiritual medicinal porridge and nourishing Jin sing soup a veritable Feast the abundance of dishes revealed just how early xinti had risen tangu eat while it's hot xinti urged offering him a piece of steamed bun with eager eyes allow me to serve myself wongon somewhat taken aback by her enthusiasm accepted the bun and took a bite finding it quite delectable far superior to those bought from the street delicious did you make all of this yourself wongon praised yes I made everything with my own hands including this jinsang soup it is very nourishing please give it a try XO chingi offered the bowl of jinsang soup to Wong tion gently blowing on it first to cool it down with sincere care Wong tion not wishing to be rude accepted the bowl and drank deeply the old scholar stood by watching eagerly as xiny fed Wong ton feeling somewhat left out I wasn't sure what you liked so I made Bean cakes for you to try XO chinki handed a plate of bean cakes to her grandfather who was overjoyed to receive them as long as you made it I shall love it he replied devouring the bean cakes while showering her with praise even feeling a bit teary eyed this was the first time in over 20 years he had tasted something made by his granddaughter delicious truly delicious I adore Bean cakes wongon observing the old Scholars Delight felt happy for him as their relationship had taken a significant Step Closer after a satisfying meal wongon prepared to leave the Royal tomb intending to head to the Royal Gardens to support yunio XO chinti gazed at Wang tion's retreating figure unable to tear her eyes away the old scholar noticing his granddaughter's expression quickly surmised her sentiments and silently resolved something in his heart upon arriving at the Royal Gardens the morning's competition was in full swing this round involved several matches to ultimately select the top eight contenders each emerging as the champion of their respective Arenas the eighth Prince wangqing was the first to advance having eliminated all remaining competitors ERS at the second arena in just 1 hour the most talented individual in the capital was indeed formidable the second to advance was yunio who with her unparalleled musical Talent smoothly secured the first place at the first Arena tangu I have claimed the first place at the first Arena impressive is n it yino exclaimed jubilantly approaching won her gaze filled with tenderness impressive indeed you are the most remarkable Wong tion couldn't help but ruffle yuno's hair having spent time together he found her increasingly endearing let us celebrate at zuan Fang later yunio proposed with an expectant expression absolutely I have some delightful surprises for you Wong tion thought of the several bottles of Exquisite Elixir he had intending to gift a few to yuno to assist her in breaking through to the third tier realm thereby enhancing her chances in the upcoming competition however just as he finished speaking a familiar and unwelcome voice echoed from behind I never expected that you this wretched being could also make it into the top eight suchen made an untimely entrance her words laced with a hint of jealousy and provocation accompanied by the fourth Prince Wong Hong who are you calling a wretch yunio arched an eyebrow the wretch is referring to yousin blurted out instinctively so you are the wretch yunio covered her mouth and chuckled while Wong tion observing The Exchange could not help but smile faintly in terms of intellect even T Suk could not rival yunio realizing her folly machine was immediately filled with rage and humiliation even at death's door you continue to flaunt your cleverness tomorrow is your doomsday just wait with that suchin indignantly stormed off and the fourth Prince Wong Hong followed suit disdain etched on his face watching their departure wongon furrowed his brow shiao you are likely to face the fourth prince in tomorrow's Arena he cautioned given that Su Janan could arrange for suchin to confront yunio it was certain he could orchestrate a match between yunio and the fourth Prince Wong Hong no worries I still have the treasure you gifted me and even if he is the fourth Prince I shall show no mercy on the stage yuno declared confidently for she possessed a secret weapon she had yet to utilize however it is prudent to be cautious tonight I shall accompany you in your training to help you break through to the third tier Wong tion suggested having discerned the fourth Prince's underhanded tactics but not yet dismantle them therefore for the sake of safety he believed it would be wise for yuno to attain the third tier excellent upon hearing that Wong tion would train with her yuno's anticipation sword chapter 96 will yunio offer herself within a secluded Chamber Of The chilin Pavilion Wong tion and yunio sat facing each other with the duel against the fourth Prince Wong hung looming tomorrow this evening marked yuno's final opportunity for training Shao I have here a vial of top tier Spirit Elixir after consuming it attempt to break through Wong tion said producing a vial from his system space hoping it would facilitate her sent to the third tier thereby enhancing her chances against the fourth Prince the following day thank you brother tion yunio expressed her gratitude touched by the generosity of the five precious Elixir their value immense in the outside world reflecting on it she recalled how brother tion had already gifted her many Treasures the black wooden zither the Black Pearl and now these five elixir each worth of Fortune brother tion you have gifted me so many Treasures I am at a loss for how to repay you she said feeling a Pang of guilt for accepting so much if you help me acquire the Tranquil Lotus from the Azure Dragon tournament that would suffice as repayment wongon replied with a smile you've given me so much I feel that one Lotus is insufficient yunio shook her head her cheeks flushing as she playfully ventured how about I offer myself instead upon uttering those words she felt a surge of nervousness her heart racing like a startled deer and her beautiful eyes dared not meet Wong tion fearing an unceremonious rejection she had summoned considerable courage to say such a thing offer yourself Wong tion was momentarily taken aback yet inexplicably he felt a stirring within him at her words after all she was the most beautiful woman in the capital possessing both talent and Grace moreover his interactions with yunio brought him joy and comfort a day without her often left him yearning for her presence I I was merely joking brother tion pay it no mind yunio said sensing his silence and feeling slightly disheartened afraid of his rejection just joking you nearly scared me wongon replied a tad awkward having almost acquiesced then quickly diverted the topic you should focus on your training time is of the essence H yunho nodded adjusting her mindset before pouring the five elixir from the porcelain vial into her mouth in one go the moment The Elixir entered her system an unprecedented surge of immense spiritual energy flooded her being brother tion this Spirit Elixir is remarkable I feel as though my entire body is brimming with spiritual energy yuno exclaimed her face alight with astonishment at such a powerful influx do not speak concentrate on your breakthrough Wong tion urged hastily breaking through a cultivation bottleneck was a formidable challenge sometimes even an abundance of Elixir could yield no results thus whether yunio could achieve the third tier that night remained uncertain however Wong tion possessed numerous top tier Elixir if one vial was insufficient he would provide more determin to ensure she broke through that night yunio wasted no time closing her eyes and diving into her training while Wang tion stood by her side safeguarding her his gaze sweeping over her enchanting Visage and graceful form growing increasingly captivated by her beauty d in truth he pondered that marrying yunio would be the most responsible course of action outside most believed that yunio had been sullied by the sixth Prince making it improbable for any worthy man to wet her honorably however if he were to take her as his wife such rumors would cease to exist yet this thought was swiftly quelled by wongon setting aside whether yunio would even consider marrying a fallen Prince like himself the Prime Minister and his ilk already regarded him with suspicion having yunio by his side would only bring her suffering and hardship possibly even endangering her once he became Invincible he would contemplate such romantic entanglements won side throughout the night yunio successfully broke through to the third tier her Danton now coalescing a milky white Spirit pill marking a rare phenomenon of pill formation the third tier with pill formation was significantly more potent than the third tier without it and having formed a pill would provide greater stability for subsequent cultivation Paving the way for further advancement brother tion I have formed a spirit pill in my Danon yuno exclaimed her face radiant with joy as she opened her eyes you have formed a pill Splendid the fourth Prince is also at the third tier but with your pill formation you hold the upper hand Wong tion said both astonished and elated realizing that this added a layer of assurance for today's tournament however to secure Victory the key remained in disrupting the fourth Prince's cheating scheme for only then could yuno truly Triumph thank you for the spirit Elixir brother tion without them I could not have achieved the third tier let alone formed a pill yunio expressed her gratitude once more let us not dwell on Such trivial matters Dawn is Breaking and we must prepare for the competition Wong tion remarked glancing out the window to see the soft light of morning streaming in yuno stood filled with Newfound confidence be why the time they arrived the Royal Gardens were teeming with people yunio you finally arrived I was beginning to think you were too frightened to show up suchin said having searched the crowd for yuno's figure visibly relieved upon spotting her today they had meticulously prepared determined to ensure yuno met her demise in the arena I end the deadly contest today presented the optimal opportunity to eliminate her and suchin was Resolute in not letting this chance slip away I was worried you wouldn't dare show up yuno retorted her beautiful eyes locking onto suchin and the fourth Prince Wong Hong Wong Hong cast a glance at yuno his surprise evident you have actually broken through to the third tier he exclaimed astonished for just yesterday yunio had been at the fourth tier and now overnight she had Advanced a tear what are you afraid fourth Prince yuno quirked an eyebrow too was slightly taken aback yuno's rapid growth was astonishing Point 3 months prior she had surpassed yunio yet now yunio had clearly overtaken her this only solidified suchin resolve to eliminate yunio otherwise she risked being the one vanquished next time yunio it is time to draw lots for the matches suchin coldly reminded her impatience to end yuno's life palpable thank you for the reminder yunio replied curtly taking a deep breath as she ascended the stage upon on entering the top eight a new round of drawing Lots was required however yunio knew that regardless of the outcome the result would not change indeed she drew the lot to face the fourth Prince Wong Hong yuno I regret to inform you that your opponent is me you should be cautious for I will show you no mercy Wong Hong stated coldly though he acknowledged yuno's Beauty even surpassing suchin asked nevertheless he deemed her of no utility in his Ascension to the throne and thus felt no compulsion to be chivalrous I two shall show you no mercy yuno replied nonchalantly as they stepped onto the stage wangonk Focus shifted to the 18 golden armored guards stationed around the arena the outcome of yuno's match hinged upon these 18 formidable Sentinels chapter 97 sabotage In the Shadows on the stage yunio and the fourth Prince Wong Hong faced each other both exuding a rising Aura as a thrilling Showdown loomed ready to ignite the onlookers brimmed with anticipation their eyes Ablaze as if the arena itself were about to catch fire this was a pinnacle clash between two third tier experts promising a Fierce and spectacular contest yet Wong tion's gaze pierced through the fog locking onto the 18 golden armored guards surrounding the arena these guards akin to battle hardened deities forged from steel emanated an imposing presence their expressions solemn and statuesque they stood evenly spaced resembling stars in the night sky forming a formation that appeared to protect the arena while concealing a deeper mystery the array Stone was likely concealed within their ranks judging by their positions it appeared to be a binding formation with the assistance of the array eye Wong Tien swiftly discerned the attributes of the formation before him the immobilization array as its name implies ensures that once activated the individual ens snared within yunio would be rendered motionless incapable of Escape even if yunio were to realize the impending danger and attempt to resist it would be too late in battles between Masters Victory or feet hinges on mere moments once immobilized the consequences could range from losing the match to endangering 1s very life thus with this immobilization array in play the fourth Prince Wong Hong stood nearly Invincible the contest on the platform commenced swiftly yunio wielding a slender sword darted forward with a Grace akin to that of a white Spectre the fourth Prince Wong Hong stood Resolute his demeanor solemn and as yuno approached within 2 meters his dragon scale sword surged into action thrusting toward her with deadly intent the Azure dragon energy accompanied the sword resonating with the fierce Roar of a dragon akin to a colossal Azure Beast lunging at Yun Qi in response to the incoming Azure sword energy yunio evaded deafly sidest stepping the attack with remarkable agility and then with a calculated angle she retaliated aiming her slender sword at Wong Hong before the blade could reach him a wave of white sword energy surged forth Force in Wong Hong into a state of alarm he hastily withdrew his sword to defend simultaneously unleashing the nine Dragon Palm towards yunio given Wong Hong's an eight Talent he could only manifest four Azure Dragon energies a stark contrast to Wong tion's nine Golden Dragon energies faced with the assault of four Azure Dragon energies yunio in her moment of panic had no choice but to abandon her offensive and shift into a defensive stance all of this transpired in the blink of an eye the swiftness of both combatants left the Spectators below and at we. this first exchange neither side gained the upper hand the prowess of the Kieran Maiden exceeded Wong hongk expectations compelling him to escalate his efforts his gaze grew increasingly cold and fierce while his dragon energy coales at an alarming rate amplifying his presence exponentially noticing the fourth Prince's transformation yunio acted without delay retrieving a black wooden zither from her spatial bracelet s their duel intensified Wong tion had silently positioned himself behind one of the armored Guardians the guardian fixated on the arena remained oblivious to Wong tion's presence let me test my skills on you first Wong tion thought extending a finger to deafly jab at the guardian's spine the instant his fingertip made contact a surge of formidable spiritual energy erupted from his fingertip invading the guardian's body and swiftly extinguishing his life force the armored Guardian possessing merely an eighth tier strength was no match for the covert attack from Wong tion who was at the third tier he perished instantly yet his body remained upright a result of Wang tion employing spiritual energy to maintain the guardian stance thus avoiding drawing attention excellent one down now to destroy the array Stone on him while all eyes were glued to the arena Wong tion discreetly rummaged through the guardian belongings quickly extracting a milky white array Stone indeed an array stone is present a glimmer of joy flickered in Wong tion's eyes and with a decisive grip he crushed the stone to dust having shattered the eray stone he did not linger swiftly moving behind the next armored Guardian employing the same method to dismantle the array Stone a fix to him as Wong tion stealthily dismantled the array Stones the melodious strains of yuno's zither resonated like Celestial music enchanting and poignant as if infused with a magical Essence that ens snared all who heard it this zither sound is indeed formidable it not only disrupts my concentration but also slows the flow of my spirit ual energy Wong Hong mused in alarm fortunately he had anticipated this the moment the music soared he produced a green Elixir from his possession swallowing it without hesitation upon ingestion the chaos rought by the zither music dissipated enveloping him in a Serene calm though the flow of his spiritual energy remained sluggish it seems one supreme calming Elixir is insufficient I shall need a bursting Spirit Elixir as well Wong Hong promptly retrieved a crimson Elixir and consumed it without a second thought the explosive surge of spiritual energy erupted within him revitalizing the sluggish flow that had been hindered by the zither influence allowing it to circulate with new found Vigor excellent the effects of both elixirs will only last half an hour I must conclude this battle within that time a faint smirk graced Wong Hong's lips as he wielded his dragon scale sword to launch a fierce assault against yunio his first move was his signature technique The Long Dragon nine swords each strike was more ferocious than the last the sword energy crashing forth like turbulent waves Relentless and overwhelming observing this yuno's expression shifted and she channeled all her spiritual power into the black wooden zither her delicate fingers dancing across the strings with the urgency of a tempest the vibrations of the sound waves intensified amplifying the might of the zither Melody beyond measure even with the aid of the Supreme calming Elixir and the bursting Spirit Elixir Wong Hong found himself increasingly baguer unable to advance as the zither Mel obstructed his every move this zither sound is truly Insidious neither the calming Elixir nor the bursting Spirit Elixir can suppress it Wong Hong was taken aback encountering a sound so formidable for the first time nevertheless he gritted his teeth and pressed on knowing he still possessed a final trump card I refuse to believe you can sustain such a high-intensity performance indefinitely Wong Hong resolved to engage in a battle of attrition meanwhile yunio burdened with her own struggles felt the depletion of her spiritual energy each note she played drained her strength and as the pace of her playing quickened so too did the toll it took on her soon her complexion paled and the melody weaken s the music faltered it became unable to contain Wong hongk Relentless assault inching him closer to her excellent it seems her spiritual energy cannot endure for much longer Wong Hong mused A Satisfied smirk gracing his lips if I can triumph over yunio in a fair fight I would rather not resort to underhanded tactics however as yuno recognized her dwindling strength she hastily produced a small porcelain vial opening it she consumed all five Supreme Spirit Elixir within the moment the five elixir entered her system a vast surge of spiritual energy erupted within her rejuvenating the once faltering Melody which now soared to unprecedented Heights each note striking with renewed ferocity the sound waves crashed upon Wong Hong like a tempest more Relentless than before confronted by the sudden Resurgence of her Melody Wong Hong found himself gasping for breath despite the enhancement from the bursting Spirit Elixir he was rendered ineffective his Focus shattered amidst the cacophony what is happening how has her spiritual power surged so suddenly Panic gripped Wong Hong his initial strategy of exhausting yunio now seemed to backfire as he felt himself teetering on the brink of defeat this cannot continue I will lose Wong Hong gritted his teeth suly reaching into his clothing to seize the activation stone for the arrest once the immobilization array was triggered yunio would be anchored in place silencing her zither and allowing him the opportunity to strike yunio no matter how formidable your music may be you shall not Prevail against me as the melody reached a new Crescendo wongon like a spectre approached the last armored Guardian from behind executing the same silent maneuver to extinguish the guardian's life seizing the moment while the spectators remained transfixed on the arena wongon ghosted away the array stoned from the guardian crushing it to dust with all 18 arrays Stones surreptitiously dismantled Wong Hong's carefully laid immobilization array became utterly ineffective without the immobilization array fourth Prince how do you intend to win this match Wong tion's gaze shifted to Wong Hong on the platform a chilling smile gracing his lips a that moment bolstered by the potency of the five Supreme Spirit Elixir yuno's music surged like a tidal wave a Relentless assault that reached unprecedented Heights the sound waves sharp as blades Unleashed an unparalleled Force Under the onslaught of this overwhelming Melody Wong Hong began to falter his spiritual energy sluggish and Meed unable to counter the onslaught even with the aid of the bursting Spirit Elixir his mind a tangled mess struggled to focus as his vision blurred enveloped in a dense fog unquestionably the outcome of this contest was becoming increasingly clear the fourth Prince was on the verge of defeat below the platform the audience began to grasp the unfolding situation I never imagined the Kieran maiden's music could be so powerful even the fourth Prince cannot contend with her indeed given the current state it seems the fourth Prince is destined to lose what a surprise the Kieran maiden's prowess is far beyond expectations I yes at the zither in her hands that is extraordinary it is the first time I have seen someone wield it with such Transcendent skill I never thought music could be lethal today I have truly broadened my horizons asked the crowd buzzed with admiration for yuno's melodic prowess suchin watching from the sidelines seated with irritation foolish Mortals how could the fourth Prince possibly lose once he unleashes his trump card that wretched girl will not know how to meet her demise fuchin cast a disdainful glance at them fully aware that the fourth Prince possessed a final trump card that would ensure his victory in the competition nevertheless the prowess displayed by yunio on the arena astonished her how could this wretched woman as strength have surged to such formidable Heights to the extent that even the fourth Prince was unable to contend with her a deep jealousy flickered in such Chin's eyes three months prior yunio had been no match for her yet here she was having overtaken even the fourth Prince this perplexity nod at suchen and her attention soon shifted to the black wooden zither it must be the instrument's influence it could very well be a Heavenly grade treasure once I am rid of this life I shall certainly acquire that zither she thought her eyes glimmering with avarice she had never failed to claim what she desired however this time disappointment awaited her on the stage the fourth Prince Wong Hong in a desperate moment finally retrieved the array activation Stone from his person too his astonishment this wretched woman's strength was far beyond what he had anticipated fortunately he had made preparations in advance otherwise he would have been defeated by her today with that thought Wong Hong infused a strand of spiritual energy into the AR Stone upon receiving the dragon energy the stone emitted a faint white light which however vanished almost instantly leaving no further Trace yunio once the immobilization array is activated I shall ensure your demise Wong hongk eyes glinted with a Sinister intent yet as he waited yunio remained unmoved the powerful sound of the zither surged towards him like a Relentless tide threatening to engulf him in its sonic waves what is happening why hasn't tii been immobilized could it be that the array failed to activate a sense of disarray crept into Wong Hong's heart unwilling to accept this he channeled another surge of spiritual energy into the array Stone once again the stone radiated a brilliant white light even more dazzling than before but the outcome remained unchanged nothing it this moment Wong Hong was utterly flustered why is this happening why has the immobilization array failed his anxiety escalated without the immobilization array he stood no chance against yunio Not only was he distressed but suchin watching from below the stage was equally anxious what is going on why hasn't T the fourth Prince activated the immobilization array yet if he does not act soon he will be overwhelmed by the sound of the zither suchin was eager to witness yuno's downfall yet after a long wait the fourth Prince showed no signs of retaliating fourth Prince you must act now suchin suddenly exclaimed in a voice filled with urgency setting an array outside the arena is a form of cheating if discovered it could lead to disgrace however at that moment suchin could think of nothing else but seeing the fourth Prince slay yunio hearing suin reminder Wong Hong too wished to act yet despair filled his heart for the immobilization array was inoperative why is the immobilization array unresponsive as Wong hongk frustration mounted his Keen gaze swept over the 18 golden armored guards standing like statues their expressions grim and unblinking their positions were Flawless why then could the array not activate Wong Hong lacking knowledge of array formations failed to realize that the 18 array Stones had already lost their connection just as he was lost in thought yuno's zither sound launched another Fierce assault crashing towards him like a deluge this time Wong Hong distracted succumbed to the overwhelming sound his Spirit Shattered by the Sonic Onslaught his internal energy stalling rendering his body limp and Powerless to resist a golden opportunity seeing this yunio charged at Wong Hong with the black wooden zither delivering a powerful kick. that moment suchin still believ the fourth Prince would launch a Counterattack how dare this wretched woman attempt to attack little does she know that this kick could cost her life fourth Prince seiz this opportunity and strike her down a calm smile graced such face as if she had already foreseen the imminent Reversal of Fate however events unfolded contrary to her expectations the anticipated reversal did not materialize instead the fourth Prince was unceremoniously kicked off the stage by yuno tracing an arc through the air before crashing heavily outside the arena this scene left suchen utterly dumbfounded her eyes wide in disbelief the defeat of the fourth Prince Wong Hong incited a wave of astonishment among the onlookers here was a genius second only among the Royal Offspring a top tier expert within the younger generation of the capital yet he fell to yunio after merely an hour of combat D in and in yuns reputation sword in their eyes igniting a fervent Buzz of admiration this daughter of the chilin is truly formidable I knew she was talented and beautiful but I never imagined her combat prowess would be so exceptional indeed I too am astonished who would have thought that playing the zither could lead to the fourth Prince's defeat today has truly broadened my horizons this cheing girl is destined for greatness being both talented and now a powerful fighter indeed after today her Fame will undoubtedly reach New Heights eye in that moment Praises for yuno flowed freely which incensed suchin how could this be the fourth Prince cannot possibly have lost suchin could not accept this outcome her fists clenched tightly her gaze toward yunio filled with bitterness especially as the crowd LED yunio flames of jealousy ignited within her just wait even if you have won this match I will not let you escape and scathed after uttering this vengeful thought suchin turned and stroe towards the Fallen Wong Hong it this moment the fourth Prince dazed and disoriented from his fall felt weak and groggy your highness why didn't see you activate the array just now suchin helped him to his feet her concern bubbling forth as she hastily inquired about the reason Wong Hong steadied himself his mind clearing a bit when suddenly a realization struck him the array malfunctioned after uttering this Wong Hong pushed through the crowd towards his golden armored guards with suchin following closely albeit confused soon reached the nearest Golden armored guard Swang Hong reached out to touch him his heart skipped to beat he discovered that the guard had been killed yet remained standing in his original position murdered Wong hongk expression shifted dramatically as he reached into the guard's clothing only to find his heart plummet with despair the array stone is gone frustrated Wong Hong hurried to search the other golden armored guards but found the same result all the array Stones were missing and no wonder the immobilization array failed to activate it seems someone has saboted Ed it Wong hongk fists tightened his face ablazed with fured yuchen drawing parallels to her own predicament contemplated my previously said array was also sabotaged it appears we are being targeted by an array Master a grave expression settled on such Chin's face the ability to stealthily dismantle their arrays indicated a high level of expertise this master is likely connected to yunio a sudden thought struck Wong Hong and he directed his gaze towards wongon who Stood Beside yunio this Revel dawned on suchin as well before facing yunio their arrays had been intact yet upon confronting her they were sabotaged it's obvious they had a powerful Ally behind yunio are you implying that sword King is aiding that wretched yunio xin's eyes also turned toward wangon yes this sword King has repeatedly opposed us he cannot be allowed to remain a glint of malice flashed in Wong hongk eyes he had invested significant effort into the Ching long competition and now it seemed all for not which only fueled his anger yet the sword King's strength was formidable even Jang ba a First Rate expert from lungo Mountain could not best him and with Sho Mountain backing him eliminating him would not be easy suin frowned he too wishes to be rid of the sword King but his strength and connections instill fear leave this matter to me as long as he remains in the capital there is no one I cannot eliminate Wong Hong replied casting one last glance at wongon before departing with a stormy expression today's outcome left him deep deeply dissatisfied unless he claimed a life he would find no peace meanwhile having secured her Victory yuno hurried to Wong ton side brother tion I owe you my gratitude for the Supreme Elixir otherwise I might have faced defeat yunio briming with joy felt immense gratitude unbeknownst to her Wong tion had quietly orchestrated much to Aid her Triumph in this contest however he had no intention of revealing the truth to yunio without me you would still have triumphed now let us celebrate wangon replied with genuine happiness for yunio then let us head to the capital's finest establishment Zu sanlu I shall treat you yuno exclaimed her Joy overflowing as she instinctively linked her arm with Wong Tans a reflexive action stemming from her exuberance feeling Yun affectionate grasp a ripple of emotions stirred within Wang tion an Indescribable sensation washing over him momentarily leaving him entranced shall we go then Wong tion did not resist allowing yunio to hold his arm naturally as yunio regained her composure and noticed Wong tion's acceptance a secret Delight filled her heart and she leaned closer to him once more at I in the Twilight hours wongon and yunio arrived at the zuan luu where they ordered a Sumptuous Feast brother tion this is the renowned zuan yangong an Exquisite drink celebrated throughout the tonan continent allow me to pour you a glass yino said leaning forward to personally serve wangon her enchanting eyes occasionally glancing at him such a famous beverage demands that I savor it thoroughly wongon replied lifting the cup and taking a delicate sip the rich Aroma enveloped him and as the liquid flowed within he felt the dragon energy within him surge with renewed Vigor it appears that a plethora of spiritual flowers and fruits have been used in this Brew such effects are simply unattainable without them hu. it to your liking this zuen Yong also AIDS in cultivation so do indulge a bit more brother tion yuno encouraged pouring another glass for him while filling her own as well though delightful excessive consumption may lead to inebriation as a lady you ought to partake with moderation wongon advised today I am in High Spirits so what harm is there in enjoying another cup yuno declared Downing her drink with a flourish and then refilling her glass with a feigned nonchalance with such frequent toasts a Rosy Hue blossomed upon her exquisitely sculpted Visage akin to the brilliant glow of the evening Sky captivating reminiscent of rude and as alluring as cherries even her previously crystalline eyes became shrouded in a dreamy Haze for the first time won found himself entranced by yuno's intoxicating demeanor unable to look away she already a vision of celestial Beauty now radiated and added charm reminiscent of a blooming Peach Blossom graceful and resplendent a te that moment wongon having indulged in his fair share of the drink felt a flame of passion flicker within him their gazes intertwined and an unspoken tension filled the air slightly Tipsy yunio seemed to lose her inhibitions inching closer to him despite wearing a mask that concealed half his face her proximity revealed a hint of eagerness in his lips inhaling the intoxicating fragrance that wafted around them and gazing at her enticingly red lips his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably just as they were about to bridge the gap between them the sound of the inkeeper voice interrupted followed by a portly middle-aged man entering with a steaming platter of yunling chicken Miss Yun congratulations on your promotion this yunling chicken is a complimentary gift from our establishment please savor it at your leisure a the sound of his voice both yunio and Wang tion instantly recoiled awkwardly returning to their seats Wang tion hastily composed himself while yuno's face flushed with embarrassment her disappointment palpable as she silently berated the inkeeper for his ill-timed Interruption I seem to have arrived at an inopportune moment please continue I shall simply place this yunling Chicken on the table The inkeeper observed recognizing the tension that had just unfolded thank you for the generous gift of yunling chicken wongon suddenly recalled turning to express his gratitude this chicken is quite precious valued at a mid-grade Spirit Stone and one must certainly extend their thanks for such a generous offering it would be quite rude not to dot Ino need for thanks jinon Wong I believe you and miss you and make a splendid pair enjoy your meal I shall not intrude further the inkeeper replied with with a smile discreetly closing the door behind him demonstrating a thoughtful consideration hearing the inkeeper words yuno's cheeks deepened in color as she cast a furtive glance at wangon contemplating whether to resume their earlier intimacy yet such a romantic atmosphere once disrupted would be difficult to rekindle shouto let us indulge in the chicken this yunling chicken is truly rare and greatly beneficial for cultivation Wong tion suggested reaching for a drumstick to offer her however a on contact he sensed something a Miss with the chicken bringing it to his nose he inhaled deeply his countenance shifting dramatically previously he had acquired knowledge of heavenly great Alchemy within the Imperial Tomb where he learned about various medicinal herbs now the scent emanating from the chicken leg revealed the presence of a toxic substance known as chin lingong brother tion is something wrong is the chicken leg not to your liking yunio inquired noticing his hesitation oh the yunling chicken is undoubtedly delicious he replied his instincts kicking in as he expanded his Consciousness he soon realized that the inkeeper had not departed instead he was lurking outside eavesdropping doit was clear that someone intended to poison them with a sudden flash of insight wongon retrieved the purifying Pearl from his spatial inventory and immersed it in the yunling chicken soup this Pearl possessed the ability to cleanse all toxins from the world ensuring that any poison within the soup would be eradicated brother tion why are you y IO gasped as she witnessed wongon placing such a precious item into the soup but he swiftly covered her delicate mouth with his hand focus on the chicken leg he urged returning the leg to the soup while exchanging meaningful glances with her the leg was tainted with poison and only through the purification of the purifying Pearl could it be safely consumed otherwise they risked severe poisoning though the name chin lingang sounded Pleasant it was in truth exceedingly toxic ingesting it could lead to unconsciousness free seing 1s spiritual energy and rendering them a helpless shell moreover the poison was colorless and tasteless impervious to expulsion through spiritual energy meaning even a first tier Adept would find themselves powerless against it awaiting an inevitable demise understanding Wong tion's Silent Communication yunio nodded gently the wood that stands out invites the winds destruction she recalled recognizing that her recent victory over the fourth Prince had likely incited jealousy and disdain among certain individuals leading to this assassination attempt I in this moment her only Ally was brother tion this yunling chicken leg is truly delectable yuno remarked as she retrieved a piece from the soup pausing to glance at wangon he brought the leg close inhaling its Aroma once more before nodding in confirmation that the poison had been completely purified reassured she took a bite while Wong tion leaned closer to the soup verifying that all traces of the chin lingong had been eradicated before reclaiming the purifying Pearl careful not to reveal its EX existence eat heartily this yunling chicken is rarely available and drink plenty of soup you have a match tomorrow so it's vital to replenish your strength Wong tion advised pouring her another bowl of chicken soup thank you brother tion you should have some as well yunio replied sweetly serving him a bowl in return they both indulged savoring the rich flavors and yunio even tenderly wiped the grease from Wong tion's lips meanwhile the inkeeper concealed outside the room smirked at the sounds of their enjoyment Sav it well this shall be your final meal having offended the fourth Prince do you truly believe you can survive he thought lamenting the beauty of the Kieran Maiden destined to perish after a span of half an hour silence enveloped the private room prompting the inkeeper to cautiously crack open the door and peer inside upon witnessing wangon and yunio sprawled unconscious upon the table a wave of relief washed over him it worked now to summon assistance to deal with him he declared clapping his hands from the rafters figure clad in Black descended your Excellency I have successfully completed the task you assigned both yunio and jinon Wong should now be poisoned the inkeeper reported respectfully well done after this proceed to the fourth Prince to claim your reward the black-clad figure replied nodding it is my honor to serve the fourth Prince the inkeeper thought excitement coursing through him the fourth Prince was likely to become the future emperor of Dean and serving him would open doors to Greater prospects leave now remember do not disclose tonight's events or your entire family will face dire consequences the black figure threatened before dismissing the inkeeper remaining behind to personally eliminate yunio and jinon Wong as the black clad figure stepped into the room he surveyed the yunling chicken soup and the discarded Bones on the table confirming that both Wong tion and yunio had indeed consumed the chicken he unshed his dagger ready to strike forgive me but tonight you shall meet your end for crossing the fourth Prince he declared lunging towards Wong tion with his weapon drawn yet just as the blade was about to descend upon Wong tion a sword pierced through the ass salent s body with a swift Fierce thrust overwhelming him with pain W how could this be he stammered glancing down in disbelief at the blade protruding from his abdomen realizing in horror that Wong tion had feigned unconsciousness lying in wait for this very moment as the sword withdrew Wong tion and yunio simultaneously Rose vibrant and alert their faces flushed entirely unlike those who had been poisoned you mean to say you were not poisoned the black clad figure gasped his palor deepening as Crimson blood trickled from his lips the cloud Spirit chicken you sent is quite delectable yet it serves no purpose for us a faint smile curled at the corners of Wong tion's lips as he infused his Aura into the juen sword causing its blade to radiate with Brilliance countless sword energy shredded the body of the black clad Shadow guard into Oblivion his eyes wide open and disbelief seemingly unable to Fathom that someone could retaliate after succumbing to the effects of the Soul settling incense soon the black clad Shadow guard collapsed to the ground blood pooling around him brother tion he is dead what shall we do now yunio cast a glance at the lifeless body a flicker of concern gleaming in her beautiful eyes after all this Shadow guard belonged to the fourth Prince having slain one of his men would undoubtedly lead to repercussions potentially implicating The chilin Pavilion and their families fear not the fourth Prince would not dare take action against us I shall leave a letter Wong tion replied unwilling to confront his brother Wong Hong at this moment as that was not his intention he aimed to let the eight princes engage in a fierce struggle to the death before emerging to clean up the aftermath that was the outcome wongon desired shiao do you have any paper and ink wongon lacking the habit of carrying such items turned to yunio for assistance as the foremost talented woman in the capital she was bound to have them indeed yunio promptly produced paper and ink from her spatial wristband wangon dipped the brush into the blood of the Shadow guard and began to write on the white paper once he finished he casually tossed the letter onto the corpse of the Shadow guard before taking yuno's hand and making their exit however before departing wongon absent-mindedly touched the body of the Shadow guard ding congratulations host you have touched a profound level corpse and acquired the turtle breathing technique in a wonder he had failed to sense The Shadow guards Aura earlier it turned out he possessed the turtle breathing technique W tion's expression shifted to one of realization this technique could conceal 1s presence and mask 1s strength making it an exceedingly useful skill after finishing with the corpse wongon and yunio left through the main entrance of the zenu the plump inkeeper upon witnessing that the two had not perished was so astonished that his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets however he lacked the courage to pursue them they were both third tier experts while he was merely a ninth tier cultivator Theo chase after them would be tantamount to delivering himself to death how could they not be dead the plump inkeeper pondered as he gazed at the retreating figures of wangon and yunio an expression of shock etched upon his chubby face soon a realization struck him this is bad something has happened his face paled as he hastened towards the private room on the third floor upon arriving at the room he found the black clad Shadow guard lying in a pool of blood devoid of life dead but yunio and Wong tion were clearly affected by the soul settling incense how could they possibly kill the shadow guard the plump inkeeper face was a mask of bewilderment the soul settling incense was a Peerless poison capable of killing even first tier experts anyone who fell victim to it had no hope of survival yet wongon and yunio after consuming the poisonous Cloud Spirit chicken remained inscathed and even managed to retaliate against the shadow guard this left him utterly confounded H there is a letter on the shadow guard the plump inkeeper quickly spotted the letter on the guard's body upon picking it up he realized it was address to the fourth Prince not daring to delay he hastily tucked the letter into his clothing and rushed out in the Stillness of the night the fourth Prince Wong Hong awaited patiently in the Yu Wong Hall while suchin beside him exhibited far less patience pacing anxiously within the grand hall your highness is it not rather unreliable to send a black clad Shadow guard to kill yunio and Wang tion suchin expressed her concerns regardless of whether it was Wong tion or yunio both were third tier experts while the shadow guard was merely at the fourth tier the notion of one individual assassinating both seemed implausible the shadow guard was merely tasked with collecting the corpse while the true killer was the soul settling incense this poison was the prized Treasure of the five poisons sect colorless and tasteless and even a first tier expert who ingested it would be on the brink of death Wong Hong calmly sipped his tea having employed the soul settling incense to assassinate numerous experts including first tier powerhouses he was well aware of its potency and was thus confident in the success of this assassination is the soul settling incense truly so formidable suchen expressed a hint of Doubt yet she would be pleased if it could indeed eliminate yunio and Wong tion just await the good news the soul settling incense has never failed Wong Hong assured taking another sip of tea just then a guard rushed in hastily your highness the inkeeper of Zu andl request to see you claiming to have urgent news the guard bowed and reported let him in Wong Hong replied somewhat surprised that it was the inkeeper and not the shadow guard coming to deliver Good Tidings however he dismissed the thought assuming the plump inkeeper had come to claim credit soon the inkeeper hurriedly waddled in panting heavily commoner xang dwang Pays His respects to your highness after catching his breath he immediately bowed get to the point are yunio and wongon dead w hung inquired seated in his golden nanmu chair looking down at the plump inkeeper fuchin gaze was also fixed on the inkeeper her heart racing with anticipation no they are both alive and well however the black clad Shadow guard is dead they left this letter behind and departed the plump inkeeper stuttered trembling as he handed over the letter fearful that the fourth Prince might unleash his wrath upon him what they are not dead my shadow guard is the one who perished Wong Hong slammed his palm down onto the table and wrapped causing it to Splinter revealing the force behind his blo youen upon hearing this news felt a wave of disappointment wash over her indeed the greater the expectation the greater the disappointment the plump inkeeper was frightened by the prince's Fury his face turning pale yet he managed to keep himself upright your highness perhaps you should first read the contents of the letter to see what Wong tion and yuno have to say suchen suggested regaining her composure as she took the letter from the plump inkeeper and handed it to Wong Hong Wong Hong seething with anger took the letter and began to read it attentively only to become even more incensed what a sword King he has slain my man and even dares to play tricks on me his face darkened with Fury what does the letter say that has you so enraged suin inquired puzzled he stated that if I were to pursue them again he would persuade the Shu Mountain sect to support the eighth Prince Wong Hong seated feeling as if his adversary had grasped his very lifeline leaving him unable to retaliate this sword King is truly cunning upon hearing this suchin reevaluated her perception of the sword King that I in the current struggle for the throne the fourth Prince's greatest Rivals were the eighth Prince and the eldest Prince particularly the eighth prince who not only held the title of the capital's top talent but also had the backing of the ton long sect the foremost sect of the daian dynasty should the third ranking Shu Mountain sect also lend its support it would indeed be a formidable Alliance Wong Hong was resolutely opposed to seeing the eighth Prince's influence grow any stronger this sword King is no simple foe Wong Hong unwilling to accept this outcome crumpled the letter into a ball of waste paper for this statement deterred him from easily taking lethal action against the sword King suen 2 felt a surge of dissatisfaction however a solution soon dawned on her your highness I have a plan to sew Discord between yunio and the sword kingsin proposed after some contemplation oh what is your plan Wong Hong inquired his interest peaked I have observed that The Wretched yunio seems quite infatuated with the sword King while the sword King has mobilized Shu Mountain to protect the chilin Pavilion it appears they are contemplating a union if we could disrupt this Union they would undoubtedly be unable to join forces suchin eyes glinted with a Sinister light ultimately suchin was unwilling to let yunio escape and scathed previously yunio had overshadowed her with her talents which irked suchen greatly now having outmatched her in Marshall prowess her animosity towards yuno deepened igniting a desire to see her utterly destroyed if she could claim the title of the capital's most beautiful woman it would be a fitting Triumph for her proud nature which could not abide being eclipsed by another woman to separate them Wong Hong mused stroking his chin as he pondered the feasibility of this plan if they were indeed to part ways the chilin Pavilion would lose its support thus allowing him to subdue them more easily precisely if the sword King and yunio were to separate the chil and Pavilion would indeed lose its backing moreover my plan might yield unexpected results su's eyes sparkle with determination. what is your plan the fourth Prince's curiosity was piqued further by su Chin's enthusiasm during the upcoming ching-long competition that wretched yuno's performance has been exceptionally brilliant leading to her Newfound Fame she may even secure a higher rank the emperor will certainly take notice of her remarkable display given that her reputation has been tarnished by the sixth Prince I could have my father petition the emperor to arrange a marriage between the sixth Prince and Yuna udai in doing so that wretched yunio would be forever barred from being with the sword King suchin proclaimed with a cold triumphant smile she could not bear to see yunio find happiness previously she had plotted to ruin yuno's reputation by placing her in the sixth Prince's bed ensuring she could never recover who would have thought the sword king would disregard her Purity and still wish to be with yunio this infuriated suchin who was determined to keep them apart ensuring they would never be together brilliant if the emperor arranges the marriage The chilin Pavilion would undoubtedly not dare to resist forcing yunio to Wed the useless sixth Prince would effectively her Wong Hong mused finally exhaling a breath of relief the thought of his plans being unraveled By The Sword King and yunio filled him with a burning desire to eliminate both of them however nothing is more satisfying than witnessing the pair of lovers who are unable to be together while the sword King is forced to watch his beloved wed a worthless fool that truly brings immense Delight indeed no matter how formidable yuno's strength may be what is it matter if she is destined to marry a good for nothing whenever suchin envisions the scene of yunio being deprived of her beloved her heart swells with J wi at s for the sword King he can only helplessly observe his cherished woman Unite with another should he dare to resist and snatch her away it would be an act of defiance against the Imperial decree and even the shushan sect would be unable to protect him upon hearing this Wong Hong felt a wave of comfort wash over him although this plan may not directly eliminate the sword King and yunio it certainly has the potential to Vex them perhaps even compel them to defy the Imperial will which would make for a splendid spectacle this strategy is indeed ingenious thus it shall be executed Wong Hong readily agreed his spirits lifting all at once the following morning Chancellor sujan Nan hurried to the Imperial study to meet his majesty the emperor come in the emperor Wong xan reclined slightly on the dragon Throne his form appearing somewhat Haggard occasionally succumbing to coughs and his speech bore a hint of weakness upon being summoned sujan Nan adjusted his attire and entered with utmost reverence sujan Nan what brings you here so early wangun strained to sit upright your majesty I have come to offer my congratulations uchen has produced yet another Paragon of Excellence sujan Nan clasped his hands and salute oh who is this Aragon what is her name a glimmer of light flickered in Wong Jean's murky eyes ASA Sovereign he naturally took an interest in any individuals of remarkable Talent it is yunio of the chilin Pavilion suan and replied solemnly ah her Wang Xin clearly recognized yuno's accomplishments and nodded and approval at the Ching long competition her victory over the fourth ranked competitor indeed showcased her exceptional talent and strength particularly her unparalleled musical prowess which is a rarity in this world if properly nurtured her future is boundless your majesty such a talent squandered in obscurity is truly a Pity if she could be utilized by the royal family she would undoubtedly contribute immensely to the foundation of Dean sujan nand asserted with righteous fervor Wang Jean cast a Discerning glance at the old Fox before him immediately suspecting that this man harbored ulterior motives regarding yuno he then inquired nonchalantly Chancellor Sue do you have any particular thoughts about this young lady your majesty you possesses extraordinary talent and is indeed a person of great potential but alas she has been sullied by the sixth Prince and her reputation tarnished sujan Nan feigned a look of regret before swiftly changing his tune why not take the opportunity to bestow her in marriage to the sixth Prince this way Not only would her honor be preserved but she could also serve the royal family achieving a two-fold benefit bestow her upon that good for nothing Wang Jean was momentarily taken aback then laughed in Anger fujan Nan clearly had no Noble intentions attempting to marry such a gifted young woman to a powerless Prince thereby jeopardizing her future indeed Y and shio must wed the sixth Prince to silence public gossip and maintain her reputation otherwise no one would wish to marry a woman whose Purity has been compromised sujan Nan argued persuasively you make a valid point Wong Jean conceded after a few coughs closing his eyes for a moment of contemplation very well we shall proceed as you suggest after the Ching Wong competition concl includes I will personally Grant her hand in marriage to the sixth Prince during the award ceremony your majesty is truly wise upon hearing this sujan Nan felt a surge of Joy within though he maintained a facade of calmness chapter 102 the emperor's true intentions regarding the sixth Prince inside the Imperial study after sujan Nan bowed and departed Emperor wanghin suddenly erupted into a fit of violent coughing even bringing forth blood your majesty you have coughed up blood again should we summon the Imperial physician the elderly unic Grand unic High expressed his concerns summoning The Physician would be feudal I am Gravely injured within and it is a miracle I have survived this long Wong xan wiped the blood from his lips with a golden handkerchief then lay back weakly on the dragon Throne xiaoai who do you think would be most suitable to inherit my position after my passing your majesty all nine of your sons are exceptional any one of them could lead the daian dynasty to Greater Heights Grand unic High dared not speak too freely exceptional Greater Heights wanghin chuckled bitterly among my nine Sons with the exception of the sixth the other eight indeed possess extraordinary talents particularly the fourth and eth alas once they inherit the throne it would be fortunate if they could merely maintain the continuity of the daian dynasty aspiring for further advancement is a distant dream your majesty need not worry the Duan Dynasty has thrived for Millennia and will continue to endure Grand unic High reass assured him that sentiment Was Not Mere flattery the concept of the Duan Dynasty strength had taken root in the hearts of the populace you are mistaken no Dynasty can endure eternally although the Duan Dynasty may appear robust at present internally it is already crumbling wanghin coughed violently before continuing during my campaign against the daa kingdom I discovered that neighboring Nations have rapidly risen during these past 10,000 years while we have remained Meed in our former glories if we do not strive for Progress we shall inevitably face collapse one day as he spoke Wong Jean was overtaken by another violent coughing fit his complexion growing increasingly pallet your majesty you must Resto not overexert yourself Grand unic High urged tenderly having served the emperor for over 50 years his loyalty was unwavering Xiao high do you know why I arranged for the Chancellor's daughter suchen to be wed to the sixth Prince Wong Jean strained to sit up seemingly wishing to impart some final instructions to his loyal Aid is it not because the sixth Prince Harbor's affections for suchin Grand unic High ventured no wanghin shook his head though the sixth May lack Talent his insight into governance far surpasses that of my other Sons when he came of age at 18 I spoke with him privately I had thought that given his lack of natural ability his political strategies would be equally unimpressive yet his words remain etched in my memory the sixth Prince possesses such political Acumen Grand unich high was taken aback he articulated that the court is monopolized by powerful families leaving common Scholars with no Avenue for service forcing them to seek refuge in sex which in turn empowers the Marshall factions over time this poses a grave threat to the Imperial Authority wanghin recounted slowly he also observed that both the court and the populace remain ens snared in past glories forming cleaks and neglecting progress after 10,000 years martial arts have seen no breakthroughs while Nations beyond our borders have surged forward inevitably threatening the dutan existence he Ally remarked that the DU Yen Dynasty has focused on defending against foreign tribes to the North and South while neglecting Maritime defenses and one day we will pay dearly for this oversight he further expressed though frail Wong xan recalled every word spoken by Wong tion during that pivotal conversation the sixth Prince possesses such Insight Grand unich High's astonishment grew though he felt that some of his concerns especially regarding Maritime defenses were somewhat exaggerated after all what threat could the vast ocean pose indeed after that conversation I granted him the title of Western King and arranged for him to Wed the Chancellor's daughter hoping that with the chancellor support he might achieve great things unfortunately sujan Nan is short-sighted and conventional even orchestrating a scandal against me Theo protect the sixth Prince I had no choice but to send him to the Imperial melum otherwise his life would be in Jeopardy wanghin side acknowledging that even an emperor sometimes finds himself constrained by circumstances Grand unic hi suddenly realized that the emperor had exiled the sixth Prince to safeguard him come let us visit the Royal melum and see for ourselves the true capabilities of the future bride of the sixth Prince Wang Xin waved his hand eager to personally assess the prowess of this Paragon of the chilin at that moment on the arena of the ching-long competition yunio was engaged in combat with Fong Tao the son of the grand General Fong Tao blessed with innate strength had reached the third tier of cultivation by the tender age of 20 Not only was he immensely powerful but his ancestral Thunder blade technique was also executed with remarkable finesse rendering him a recognized Prodigy in the capital yet despite the intricacies of his blade technique he could not penetrate the Ethereal Melody of yuno guchin the unmatched sound enveloped him from all directions and even though Fong ta resorted to Medicinal pills to temporarily mute his hearing he remained unable to fend off the onslaught of her music this melody is truly uncanny even with my hearing blocked my inner spiritual power and mind remained severely affected fonga gripped his blazing great sword his features contorted in agony he was unwilling to concede defeat in the semi-finals yet no matter how hard he struggled he could not overcome the enchanting Melody Wong tion observed as Fong's resistance waned realizing that victory for yunio was imminent after all the uchin was a Heavenly great instrument How could a mere youth at the third tier hope to contend with it he then shifted his gaze to another Arena where the eth Prince and the fifth Prince were nearing the conclusion of their battle the eighth Prince wangqing employed the Heavenly Dragon technique with such swiftness that he defeated the fifth Prince securing his place in the finals remarkably this eighth Prince has also broken through to the third tier and his Heavenly Dragon technique has grown even more formidable I wonder if Xiao can Triumph against him Wong tion silently worried for Yun qaud as he pondered deeply a wave of gasps erupted from the crowd followed by Fong TAA tumbling out of the enena this Paragon of the chilin is truly impressive even the innately strong Fong tow cannot match her prowess indeed she is not only beautiful and eloquent but she possesses remarkable Marshal abilities as well such a perfect woman whoever she marries will be most fortunate alas this Paragon of the chilin has been tainted by the sixth Prince it seems that suitors of high status and Prestige will likely shun her how unfortunate indeed a group of individuals gathered beneath the arena engaged in aimless chatter fortunately yunio possessed a resilient spirit and paid them no heat upon stepping down from the stage she immediately rushed To Wong tion's side brother tion wasn't I impressive yuno exclaimed with joy indeed my little Cho is the most remarkable come let me treat you to some delicious food and help you gather your strength in preparation for tomorrow's decisive battle wongon said affectionately patting yuno's head yes this time I want to eat the roasted duck slices from zangano yuno replied her face radiant with happiness being with Wong tion made her feel elated regardless of the activity in a nearby Loft Wang xan observed the departing figures of yunio and Wang tion his thoughts stirring this daughter of the chilin indeed possessed extraordinary Talent even fonga endowed with innate Divine strength was no match for her with proper nurturing she could undoubtedly become a top tier expert in the Duan Empire Wong Jean was quite pleased with yunio as his daughter-in-law and he turned to ask grandfather High xiaoai who is the masted man accompanying yuno he is the newly risen sword King of the capital a swordsmanship genius said to appear once in a millennium for Mount Shu he has mastered one of the three ultimate techniques of Mount Shu the 10,000 swords return to origin and is comparable to the legendary sword Godly he might even become the next leader of Mount Shu grandfather High explained candidly do a genius of swordsmanship this sword king bears a striking resemblance to the sixth brother if only the sixth brother possessed such talent and background Wong Xin side chapter 103 yunio unleashes her full power the final match of the Ching long competition commenced under the watchful eyes of the multitude the venue was packed with notable figures in attendance including suchin the fourth Prince Wong Hong prime minister suenan and other Nobles and ministers even the long absent Emperor Wong xhan made an appearance today he appeared slightly healthier yet the keen-eyed experts could discern that the emperor was running on fumes let the match begin Wong xan gestured to the host as soon as he spoke yunio and the eth prince Wong Ching ascended the arena yunio despite being a woman I shall show you no mercy declared the eighth Prince grasping the long Yuan sword with an air of cold arrogance he was determined to win this match your highness I shall exert My Utmost strength as well yunio retorted resolutely producing a black wooden zither from her space bracelet without a moment's hesitation indicating her seriousness in this contest very well let us commence the eighth Prince vanished in an instant reappearing directly before yunio and Unleashed a powerful strike point9 Dragon Palm as the Palm struck seven Golden Dragon oras roared toward yunio the spectators erupted in astonishment particularly the Nobles in the stands my Heavens the eighth Prince has actually mastered the nine Dragon Palm to such an extent seven Dragon oras rival the might have past Emperors cried one excited Minister indeed it is exceedingly rare to manifest 7 dragon oras with the nine Dragon Palm the eighth Prince's Talent is truly formidable echoed others in agreement the strength of eighth brother has evidently groan Wong Xin nodded in approval admiration gleaming in his eyes only the fourth Prince Wong Hong wore an expression of deep concern the eth prince's increasing prowess diminished his own chances of ascending the throne Wong tion observing from the sidelines smirked slightly only seven Dragon auras and they are left in such a If Only They knew my nine Dragon Palm can unleash N9 I wonder what their reaction would be on the arena facing the simultaneous onslaught of seven Dragon oras yunio remained unflustered she swiftly summoned her spiritual energy and deafly plucked the strings of her zither a soaring passionate Melody erupted and the once ferocious Golden Dragon auras encountered a formidable barrier halting in their tracks eth Prince allow me to present you with General's command please enjoy yuno declared her voice harmonizing with the intensifying music that trans formed into a cacophony akin to an army charging forth surging toward wangqing the seven Golden Dragon auras confronted by this overwhelming wave of sound disintegrated instantaneously your zither music is indeed formidable Wong Ching's expression shifted slightly he had observed yuno's previous battles but had not truly grasped the terror of her music until now facing it head-on eth Prince this is merely the beginning yunk fingers danced across the strings with increasing speed the pitch rising in random causing the surrounding air to tremble violently as if countless brave Soldiers wielded their weapons rushing toward the eighth prince wangqing in a tidal wave wangqing felt his internal energies flow slow his Spirit affected he immediately steadied his mind and channeled all his dragon energy into the long Yuan sword like a torrent Dragon break slash he shouted swinging the sword with great force toward yunio the golden sword energy transformed into a massive dragon's head roaring with power hurtling toward yunio and severing the air around it causing countless sound waves to shatter as if vanquished soldiers were falling yunk countenance shifted it was her first encounter with someone capable of shattering sound waves I in that moment of distraction the dragon break slash struck her but at the critical juncture yunio managed to deflect a significant portion of the attack with her black wooden zither however the residual sword energy still inflicted injuries upon her leaving marks on her face shoulder and hair drawing forth a trickle of blood fortunately these were only superficial wounds and her bones remained unharmed I in this first round of Confrontation it was evident that the eighth Prince held the upper hand enhanced by the Heavenly grade long Yuan sword delivering a devastating blow with the dragon break slash were it not for the black wooden zither an unparalleled treasure in its own right she would have been Gravely injured if not killed attio have been struck by my dragon break slash and yet you remain standing Wong Ching remarked with a hint of astonishment the dragon break slash was a signature technique of the Heavenly Dragon sect a skill known to fewer than 10 individuals across the entire tonin continent possessing unparalleled might capable of slaying opponents beyond their rank yet this overwhelming sword energy upon striking yunio had only managed to graze her Not only was he astonished but the onlookers including Nobles and ministers in the stands also displayed expressions of shock this daughter of the chilin truly possesses remarkable resilience to withstand the dragon break slash and still stand although she remained upright her musical performance had been disrupted by the eighth Prince and continuing to play would likely be ineffective against him him if the chin daughter lacks further means she may very well lose this match everyone marveled at the eighth Prince's strength that wretched girl is indeed tough suin thought bitterly just moments ago she had felt exhilarated seeing yunio struck by the eighth Prince's Dragon break slash only to be disappointed by the realization that it had only caused her minor injuries Wong tion witnessing the scene secretly breathed a sigh of relief he had been terrified moments ago he was acutely aware of the Dragon break Slash's power thankfully the Heavenly demon zither had absorbed most of its energy otherwise yunio would have lost for the first time he felt concerned for yunio as the eighth Prince's strength was truly formidable wiping the blood from her face yuno's expression turned grave the eth prince's prowess exceeded her expectations simply playing the zither would not suffice to win against him at it was time to unleash her secret weapon yunio retrieved the Millennium demon Pearl gifted to her by Wong ton from her space bracelet meanwhile the eighth Prince believed victory was already in his grasp yuno if you possess no other means you might as well concede m y next strike will surpass the power of the Dragon break slash should I unleash it you will either be Gravely injured or perish Wong Ching attempted to intimidate her into surrendering I in truth the dragon break slash had drained half of his dragon energy and launching an even more potent attack was exceedingly taxing your highness I shall not concede let us continue yunio responded resolutely resuming her playing since you are so obstinate do not blame me Wong Ching scoffed then began to swing the long Yuan sword in place each motion amplifying its power after 49 swings he Unleashed a strike toward yunio wind dragon Whirlwind as he executed the strike the sword energy transformed into a colossal tornado racing toward yunio at Breakneck speed the surrounding sounds of the zither were instantly engulfed violently torn apart the onlookers paled at this display this was another ultimate technique from the Heavenly Dragon sect even more potent than before those who did not wish to be caught in the sword energy retreated in fear the fact that yunio had compelled the eighth Prince to resort to the wind dragon Whirlwind demonstrated her impressive capabilities given her third tier strength she could not hope to counter it and the victor of this match would undoubtedly be the eighth Prince those in the stands with expertise quickly reached this conclusion and nearly everyone concurred the wind dragon Whirlwind was a sword move capable of slaying opponents two ranks above and even a first tier Master would hesitate to confront it head-on let alone yunio who was merely at the third tier however just as the crowd believed yunio was destined to lose she infused her spiritual energy into the Black Pearl which suddenly blossomed into a black lotus I will not lose I shall help brother tion obtain the Tranquil Lotus yunio declared with unwavering determination pushing the Black Lotus toward the oncoming wind dragon Whirlwind while deafly plucking the zither strings under the enchanting Melody of the zither the power of the Black Lotus surged to unprecedented Heights charging into the wind dragon swirl with an insatiable Force feudal the wind dragon swirl is my most formidable strike and thus far no one has been able to break it it is impossible for you the eth prince wangqing had barely finished his words when he was utterly astonished by the spectacle before him how could this be this wind dragon swirl is my strongest attack there is no way that a third rank cultivator could shatter it Wong Ching's face was a canvas of disbelief as this scene completely surpassed his expectations not only him but also the countless onlookers below the stage all gasped in astonishment upon witnessing the signs of the wind dragon swirls collapse could it be the eighth Prince's wind dragon swirl is actually on the verge of breaking indeed what has yunio done to even overpower the wind dragon Swirl My Heavens the daughter of the chilin truly possesses hidden depths if the wind dragon swirl collapses the eighth Prince Will undoubtedly lose almost everyone was left in awe by this unfolding drama it is known that with the eighth Prince's formidable strength even a first rank expert would struggle to dismantle the wind dragon swirl yet this seemingly delicate woman had accomplished The Impossible beside her suchen seated with jealousy why is she able to steal the spotlight time and again the Flames of Envy blazed fiercely within suchin heart Wong tion however maintained a calm demeanor for he was already aware that yunio possessed the trump card of the 10,000-year demon Pearl the power of the 10,000-year demon Pearl is not inferior to that of the Heavenly demons ether when two extraordinary Treasures strike simultaneously not only the wind drag and swirl but even a Super Tornado would be easily overcome by yunio I cannot lose I will not be defeated The Reluctant eth Prince roared defiantly channeling the last remnants of his Dragon Aura in an attempt to stabilize the wind dragon swirl yet the Black Lotus bolstered by the zither Melody grew ever more formidable a mere Black Lotus seemingly insignificant within the vastness of the wind dragon swirl managed to devour all the sword energy contained within it with the sword energy gone the wind dragon swirls power diminished drastically teetering on the brink of collapse and oh finally a the eighth Prince's desperate Roar the sword energy of the wind dragon swirl was completely consumed and the swirl dissipated into nothingness the eighth Prince Wong Ching's strongest strike the wind dragon swirl had been shattered The Spectators witnessing this scene erupted in disbelief the eth prince's wind dragon swirl was dismantled just like that everyone wore expressions of incredulity however this was merely the beginning after obliterating the wind dragon swirl the Black Lotus surged for forward with thunderous might towards wangqing confronted with the impending attack of the Black Lotus the eighth Prince gripped his long Yuan sword and swung it at the Black Lotus yet his Dragon Aura had long since been depleted though the strike appeared powerful its actual strength was severely limited the Black Lotus disregarded this feeble sword energy and struck directly at Wong Ching's chest propelling him backward for several meters after tracing a parabolic Arc in the air he crashed heavily to the ground with his fall Beyond the stage the outcome of the match was sealed after a brief silence the arena erupted with thunderous Applause my Heavens the daughter of the chilin has actually defeated the eighth Prince how extraordinary henceforth the title of the capital's foremost genius belongs to yunio today yunio has made a name for herself in a single battle her future boundless it is truly eye openening who would have thought there existed a talent in the capital surpassing that of the eighth Prince countless Praises poured in much to suchin grin hph what is winning the competition matter if you are still destined to marry a worthless man does she truly believe she can rise

performed admirably especially you yunio you have certainly impressed the court Wong Jean regarded yunio with eyes filled with admiration clearly pleased with her performance today thank you for your

majesty for the generous reward I shall not disappoint your expectations the onlookers gazed on with Envy though the position of Sword bearer was not high it held real power and was one of the key roles in guarding the capital after rewarding fongo Wong Jean turned his attention to Prince wangqing old8 you often boast of being the capital's foremost genius flaunting your talents While disregarding others today having lost to yunio you must realize that there are mountains Beyond mountains and people Beyond people one should remain humble and modest in the future Wang xan admonished with a fatherly tone eager to guide his son your Majesty's words ring true I shall strive to act with humility henceforth Wong Ching replied surprisingly receptive to his father as counsel losing to yunio had truly opened his eyes to the existence of Greater talents that is the right attitude Wong xan expressed satisfaction with Wong Ching's response and declared I hereby appoint you as duke of gongen and Grant you a premium Dragon Pearl this promotion caused an uproar among the crowd a Duke is a rank even higher than that of a prince second only to the Crown Prince among the emperor's nine Sons only the eighth Prince was conferred the title of Duke suggesting a strong possibility of him inheriting the throne this stirred the Ambitions of many Nobles and officials present meanwhile the fourth Prince Wong Hong seated with jealousy upon witnessing his Elder brother's elevation to Duke his eyes filled with barely concealed malice though he managed to mask it well thank you Father for your gracious reward Wong Ching knelt respectfully to express his gratitude his heart racing with excitement being made a Duke brought him one step closer to the throne after bestowing honors upon wangqing Wong Jean's gaze shifted to yunio yunio I grant you the Tranquil heart Lotus and additionally I betro you to the sixth Prince wongon your wedding shall take place in one month as soon as Wang xan announced this decree the crowd erupted with astonishment yunio upon hearing the announcement of her betrothal felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning rendered speechless in shock chapter 105 yuno's confession the emperor's unexpected betral left wangon equally stunned he could never have anticipated that his father would Grant the Ching long competition Champion yunio to him as a bride what madness has overtaken my father how could he possibly bestow yuno upon me Wong tion was utterly flabbergasted yet inexplicably a flicker of Joy ignited within him at the thought of marrying yunio conversely yunio was far from pleased even feeling a strong aversion to the idea your majesty I I already have someone I like she hesitated ultimately deciding to refuse the betral to the emperor's face however before she could finish her sentence suchin interjected unable to contain herself yunio don't think that winning the Ching long competition makes you remarkable being betrothed to the sixth Prince is the emperor's decree if you refuse it is tantamount to Defying Imperial orders suchin scolded loudly Dio you know the consequences of disobeying the Imperial edict from the crowd Yun jongi witnessing his daughter's blatant Defiance rushed forward in alarm your majesty my daughter does not intend to defy the decree she simply requires time to come to terms with the betral I believe she will accept once she has had a moment to reflect he wiped the sweat from his brow fearful of provoking the emperor's ey which could lead to dire con consequences for them all father but I truly have someone ey yuno attempted to argue but was cut off by Yun jongi Say No More defying the Imperial decree could lead to the annihilation of our entire Clan he whispered urgently in her ear yunio understood the grave consequences of defying the emperor yet she was utterly unwilling to accept a marriage to the sixth Prince whom she deemed unworthy yunio quickly kneel and express your gratitude what are you hesitating forsen scolded once more Yun jongi pulled at her sleeve desperate to prevent her from rebelling against the Imperial will fearing for their family's safety yunio glanced at her terrified father and then at wongon below the stage she did not wish to resign herself to this fate she had finally found someone she liked only to be forced to abandon that for a decree as this truly my destiny tears welled in her eyes and in Despair and resignation for the sake of her family and the chilin Pavilion she knelt and uttered thank you your majesty as Yun knelt a glistening tear escaped the corner of her eye yet she kept her head bowed too ashamed to let anyone see her distress observing yunio finally kneel suin felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her what does it matter if you won the Ching long competition you are still faded to marry a worthless man you'll just have to guard the Imperial Tomb with that good for nothing suchin chuckled inwardly rise yunio this is the Tranquil heart Lotus accept it I have great expectations for you wanghin kindly extended a blue lotus flower towards yunio With Tears In Her Eyes yunio accepted the Tranquil Lotus initially intending to procure it for her brother tion by participating in the Ching long competition however in the end she emerged Victorious but at the cost of her own Spirit tears cascaded uncontrollably from her eyes falling onto the Tranquil Lotus and blooming into glistening droplets of Sorrow what is the matter are you not happy Wong xan inquired his brow furrowed and voice solemn happy happy your majesty and my daughter is simply overwhelmed with joy Yun jongi hurriedly explained as long as you are happy prepare yourselves I in a month there will be a wedding and I shall present you with a grand gift Wang Jean declared with a sweeping gesture thank you your magesty Yun jongi replied bowing gratefully after bestowing his rewards Wang Jean departed with a retinue of Nobles and the crowd gradually dispersed none approaching Yun jongi to offer congratulations as they all understood that marrying the sixth Prince a worthless cion meant yuno's own downfall however suchin lingered accompanied by the fourth Prince Wong Hong approaching yunio congratulations yunio on Marrying the sixth Prince you shall now be part of the royal family suchin said her words LED with mockery and derision suchin did you orchestrate this marriage with the sixth Prince yuno's red rimmed eyes bore into her how could that be the emperor's decision to marry you to the sixth Prince was made with your best interests in mind the world knows you have been sullied by him no respectable Noble would take you as their bride thus marrying the sixth Prince is your best fate suchin replied with a taunting laugh D must be

life ensure I have no resting place ha you should worry about how to survive in the Imperial melum where there is nothing suchin laughed turning away yunio her eyes Ablaze with Fury watched suchin retreating figure her fists clenched in Anger wishing to rush forward and end her life.at that moment a familiar voice pulled her back to reality shiao congratulations on winning the Ching long competition Wong tion appeared behind her at just the right moment facing her beloved brother tion yunio felt no joy as she had in previous days instead she was overcome with grievance and sorrow brother Tian Yun Cried Out collapsing into his Embrace weeping freely observing this Yun jongi could only sigh and quietly step away allowing them a moment of solitude knowing such opportunities would be scarce in the future ASA father he understood his daughter's affections for Jin Wong yet fate was relentless shiao why do You Weep when you have achieved first place Wong tion gently stroked her back in Comfort after sobbing in his Embrace for a while yunio recalled something important brother tion this is the tranqu qu Lotus I brought it for you yunio presented the Tranquil Lotus to wongon thank you you have worked hard he accepted without hesitation genuinely in need of the flower after receiving the Lotus Wong tion tenderly wiped away her tears Dion not cry if you continue you will no longer be beautiful he consoled gently brother tion the emperor has betrothed me to the sixth Prince did you know yuno's sorrow resurfaced and despite Wong tion's attempts to dry her tears they continued to Flo I know marrying the sixth Prince might not be so bad though the world labels him as worthless he possesses great wisdom and vision wongon unconsciously boasted I do not care what kind of person the sixth Prince is I do not wish to marry him yunio cried her heart racked with anguish questioning why the heavens would punish her so if you do not wish to marry him then whom do you desire wongon asked I wish to marry you I like you I truly like you you big fool yunio could no longer contain her emotions breaking down in tears finally confessing the feelings she had long suppressed fearing she would never have another chance to express them chapter 106 a binding promise upon hearing yuno's heartfelt confession through her tears Wong tion was utterly taken AB he had never anticipated that yunio harbored feelings for him and wished to marry him his mind blanked for a moment before he regained his composure seeing her a weeping mess he tenderly enveloped her in his arms gently soothing her back oh not cry let me take you somewhere where yunio asked through her sobs you will see shortly wongon replied taking her delicate hand and leading her deeper into the Royal Gardens familiar with the grounds he guided her past expansive Lakes until they arrived at a secluded Grove of violet bamboo this Grove lay at the Far Western Edge of the palace seldom trotten by human feet and the ground was carpeted in Lush Moss brother tion why have you brought me here yunio wiped her tears confusion filling her rened eyes this is where my mother is buried whenever I feel wronged I come here to find Solace for a few days wongon continued to lead her further in your mother is buried within the palace yunio was slightly taken aback while the Violet Bamboo Grove was remote it was still part of the palace yes and there is something else I wish to share with you he said guiding her deeper into the Grove with yunio following like a devoted spouse after a short walk they arrived at a small bamboo Hut beside which stood a modest mound of Earth topped with a stone tablet we have arrived Wong tion halted in front of the Grave his expression turning solemn I ask this were your mother rests yuno asked her tears momentarily subdued indeed this is my mother's grave are you curious as to why it lies within the palace Wong tion suddenly turned to face her yunio instinctively nodded genuinely curious yet she refrained from asking respecting the privacy of his sorrow because my mother was a consort of the current Emperor Wong tion said grav ly looking at the monument marking his mother's resting place at this moment he felt it was time to reveal his true identity to yunio your mother was a consort of the emperor yuno's mouth fell Agape her astonishment rendering her speechless she had considered many possibilities regarding Wong tion's background yet this was beyond Her Imagination if your mother is a consort then does that not make you a prince as realization dawned upon her yunio suddenly grasped the implications indeed I the sixth Prince of the daian dynasty the very person you despise most wongon said slowly removing his mask had it not been for his father EST decree and yunio S Earnest confession he would have kept his identity concealed particularly from his fourth brother and the chancellor as the mask slipped away yunio finally beheld Wang tion's handsome Visage leaving her utterly stunned as though struck by lightning she could never have fathom that the person she adored was indeed the very sixth Prince she loathed tion Wong Wong tion so you truly are the sixth Prince yunio murmured struggling to process the reality before her yes I am wongon the reason for my concealment was that my current identity must remain undisclosed especially to my fourth brother and the chancellor he patiently explained at so the gifts of the zither and the Black Lotus were merely compensation yuno's emotion surged grappling with the Revelation that the one she cherished was the same individual she detested Wong tion fell silent recalling how he had indeed intended to make amends with the gifts but had unwittingly developed feelings for her over the past 2 months your silence is an acceptance is it not yuno's eyes welled with tears it dawned on her that the gifts were merely tokens of atonement yunio none of that matters now you wish to marry me and my father has decreed our betrothal is this not the best outcome wongon endeavored to clarify no this is not the result I desire unable to accept the reality yunio turned away tears streaming as she walked away watching her retreating figure wongon felt a surge of urgency summoning his courage to call out yunio I love you I want to marry you before my mother as spirit I vow to treat you well for the rest of my life hearing this impassioned declaration yuno's tears flowed freely as if all her resentment dissipated with his words she turned around racing back towards wongon seeing her return ignited a flame of relief in Wong tion's heart and he opened his arms to embrace her the warmth and softness of her presence filled him with an IND describable Joy why must you make me fall for you and treat me so well yunio sobbed in his arms releasing all her pinup grievances cry as much as you need it will be all right Wong tion held her close allowing her to weep freely after a lengthy outpouring yunio gradually calmed can I still call you brother tion she asked lifting her head with a pitiful expression now that he was the sixth Prince calling him brother tion seemed disrespectful and of course I shall still call you Shia Chio however when we are in public I must must wear my mask and you must not disclose my true identity to anyone Wong tion said with Earnest gravity rest assured I would never reveal your identity yunio pressed her head tightly against Wong tion's chest listening to the rhythmic beat of his heart gradually her once fractured heart found solace and she began to savor the sweetness of Happiness perhaps This truly was the best outcome Heaven had not been unkind to her with this thought yunio wrapped her arms around wangon holding him close fearful that if she relaxed even for a moment the happiness before her might slip away shiao don't hold too tightly I can hardly breathe wongon remarked somewhat exasperated I want te I want to hold you tightly yunio pouted playfully you just said you wouldn't te marry the sixth Prince so do you still intend to marry him now Wong tion gazed at her with affectionate teasing whether it's the sixth Prince or the sword King I am marrying my ton Gage yunio suddenly lifted her tear stre face as if she had finally grasped her true feelings I will always be your tion Gage Wong tion looked down at her with adoration their eyes locking in a moment that ignited Sparks of Love transforming the air around them into something enchanting yuno's heart raced her cheeks flushed Crimson she slowly closed her eyes her heart brimming with anticipation as Wang tion beheld yuno's moist delicate lips he swallowed hard unable to resist leaning down to kiss her chapter 107 a decision made to touch the empress the moment their lips met w body trembled as if struck by lightning a surge of tingling Sensations coursing through him lifting him to the heavens he had never anticipated that yuno cherry-like lips would be so sweet and tender intoxicating him with a single kiss making him yearn for more wangon tightened his Embrace her soft curves pressing against him heightening his exhilaration yunio felt herself weaken her mind blank this was her first kiss with a boy and the taste of it left her entranced her breaths quickening as she wished to M herself into wongon very being they held each other for an eternity reluctant to part with her eyes slightly glazed and her face AOW with shyness yunio gazed at wongon as if still lingering in the moment Shao I must return wongon said equally enamored by the earlier experience yet Duty bound to leave he recalled that he needed to hurry back to the Royal melum as the Imperial Edict of marriage would soon arrive if he were not present he could be accused of defying Imperial Ord which would spell disaster must you leave so soon Yun lamented wishing to remain with her ton Gage just a moment longer even if only for a second yes the Imperial decree will soon reach the melum if I absent it could lead to complications wongon patiently explained all right then let us return yuno understood the urgency and quickly added < will you come to find me tomorrow I want to be able to see you for a few days I wish to quietly focus on my training for a while Wong tion replied after a moment of contemplation although he longed to be with yunio every day his current strength was insufficient he needed to enhance his abilities to secure their future together if love can be Eternal what matters the fleeting moments okay then please kiss me once more yunio suddenly exclaimed her face flushed with embarrassment the memory of their earlier kiss had left her yearning for more certainly Wong tion smiled and leaned down to kiss her again as their lips met once more yunio melted into his embrace the intoxicating sensation overwhelming her senses how she wished to remain in her tion G's arms lost in kisses forever her heart raced like a wild deer her cheeks of flame and she felt as if she could scarcely breathe as though this kiss were an addiction she never wished to end after a while Wong tion pulled away if we continue the sun will set let me escort you home he said gently caressing yuno's flushed cheek mm yunio took Wong tion's hand her eyes sparkling with happiness before leaving Wong tion Bid Farewell to his mother who watching from the underworld could finally rest knowing her son had found happiness after departing the palace Wong tion promptly returned yunio to chilin Pavilion before heading back to the Royal melum as expected shortly after his arrival the Emissary bearing the Imperial decree arrived a middle-aged unic accompanied by the fourth Prince Wong Hong and suchin which surprised Wong tion fortunately Wong tion had previously learned the art of concealing his true order from the shadow guards your highness the sixth Prince please come forth to receive the decree the unit called out in aoud raspy voice Wong tion quickly activated his concealment technique and respectfully stepped outside I your son receive the decree he proclaimed loudly bowing deeply be why the will of Heaven the emperor proclaims sixth Prince Wong tion in recognition of your service and guarding the melum you are hereby granted the marriage of yunio daughter of the chilin the unic recited a lengthy declaration although Wong tion had already known the contents of the decree he fainted surprise thank you Father Emperor Wong tion expressed his gratitude with a bowow that the decree has been issued sixth Prince you should prepare for your wedding in one month the unic declared before hastily departing seemingly disdainful of the dilapidated surroundings once the unic left suchen and the fourth Prince Wong Hong remained behind six brother how have you fared in the melum Wong Hong inquired glancing around at the shabby Hut finding some comfort in its Simplicity thank you for your concern fourth brother life has been rather plain but manageable wongon replied nonchalantly such a bland existence is terribly dull this time I have persuaded the prime minister to suggest to Father emperor that you be provided with a beautiful companion so you want T be lonely in the melum Wong Hong said with a grin while it sounded as if he were showing concern it was in fact a mockery of Wong tion indeed sixth Prince see how considerate fourth Prince is you should thank him suin chimed in with a smirk realizing that the fourth Prince and suchin had conspired with the prime minister to propose yuno's marriage to him wongon felt a wave of gratitude for their role in strengthening his bond with yunio otherwise they might not have kissed so soon thank you fourth brother and thank you prime minister wongon expressed sincerely haha look at this fool actually Thanking us let us go with his pathetic demeanor he spend his life in the melum Hong Hong laughed heartily sixth Prince we have another matter to inform you about the two of us will also be marrying in one month on the same day as yousin added sneering the difference is while you will wed in this desolate melum we shall celebrate in the Grand Palace attended by countless Nobles and dignitaries Wong Hong continued reving in their mockery Wong tion smiled awkwardly realizing they had come to boast and ridicule him however he remained unperturbed for soon they would find their laughter stifled previously Wong tion had warned Wong Hong that if he dared to provoke him again he would not hold back after their taunts suchin and Wong Hong left satisfied with their jibes once they departed Wong tion dawned his mask and slipped away into the night when he reemerged he had arrived at the estate of the eighth Prince wangqing at a te that moment wangqing was practicing sword play in the courtyard Guided by a gray-haired Elder having lost to yuno earlier in the day he was determined to improve his skills suddenly a servant rushed in with news your highness there is a man outside claiming to be the sword King who wishes to see you the sword King Wong Ching pondered while the Elder clarified the sword King is a recently risen master in the capital hailed as the greatest talent in a millennium from shushan possibly the second coming of the sword Godly he is rumored to be the next leader of shushan ah it's him quickly invite him in Wong Ching said his heart leaping with excitement at the thought of such an illustrious figure highness such an important personage warrants your personal greeting to show respect the Elder advised promptly indeed wise as ever mastered I shall go to greet him myself wangqing said quickly putting away his sword and hurrying to welcome the guest now that wangqing had become the prince of marriage his next step was to inherit the throne and he needed more allies and Powerful figures to support him thus the arrival of the sword King representing the future of shushan was immensely welcomed apologies for the late disturbance your highness I hope I did not intrude upon your rest Wong tion said politely not at all the sword King is always welcome in my humble abode wangqing replied warmly ushering wongon inside as they exchanged pleasantries they moved to the main hall where wangqing offered the finest tea to wongon after a round of cordial banter Wong Ching cautiously inquired sword King may I ask what brings you here tonight your highness I have come to discuss a matter of great importance concerning your life Wong t on said fainting city. what matter could be so significant upon hearing that it concerned his very life Wong Ching's expression grew markedly serious after the conclusion of the Ching long competition today I was invited to the residence of the fourth prince who candidly expressed his desire for me and Shuan to support him subtly implying that he wished to eliminate you Wong tion obliquely insinuated this Revelation astonished both wangqing and his master does the fourth Prince dare to kill me wangqing immediately medely clenched his fists meanwhile the gray-haired Elder chiai pondered the veracity of this claim indeed however I politely declined why original intention was to support your highness the eighth Prince after all you are currently the only Prince of the great Chen Dynasty Wong tion emphasized the last two words deliberately this statement in turn instilled a measure of belief in wangqing regarding wangonk words he understood the character of the fourth Prince Wong Hong his ambition was immense and he had long coveted the throne now that he himself had become the sole Prince it was entirely plausible that the fourth Prince might resort to murder thank you sword King for coming to inform me otherwise I might have been in genuine Peril the eighth Prince wangqing expressed his gratitude with a clasp fist I kindly ask your highness not to disclose that I was the one who spoke this and furthermore I wish to make my stance clear shushan supports your Ascension to the throne however if you wish to inherit the Imperial author it smoothly I advise you to take the initiative wongon offered his counsel with a seemingly benevolent demeanor very well I shall remember your words I have always held great admiration for shushan the eighth Prince exchanged a few polite remarks additionally if your hus ascends to the throne could you grant me the hand of yunio in marriage Wong tion hesitated for a moment before making the Fain difficult request Tio refrained from making any demands would arouse suspicion from wangqing and the others by presenting a request he would only reinforce their belief in his words upon hearing this wangqing exchanged glances with his master before breaking into laughter. so it is for this matter that sword King has taken action rest assured once I Ascend the throne I will facilitate your marriage to yunio as for my useless sixth brother he is utterly Unworthy of marrying a woman of such Exquisite caliber I sincerely thank the eighth Prince should any matters arise feel free to seek me at the chilin Pavilion and I shall offer my utmost support w Keon displayed an expression of deep gratitude certainly I shall not hesitate to trouble sword King should the need arise the eighth Prince Wong Ching nodded in agreement after having successfully deceived wangqing Wong tion quickly found an excuse to depart once his figure completely vanished into the night Wong Ching turned to consult his master master what do you think of the credibility of Sword kingk words shushan has never participated in the struggle for the throne how could they suddenly choose to support you chiai frowned are you suggesting that sword kingk assertions are entirely false wangqing felt a Pang of disappointment if he could truly secure the support of Sword King and shushan his chances of ascending the throne would be greatly enhanced it cannot be said that everything is false your elevation to Prince has rendered you a thorn in the eyes of the other princes particularly the fourth prince who may indeed wish to eliminate you chiai paused before continuing his analysis moreover his sudden support for you could genuinely stem from his affection for yunio how do you mean does King Harbor feelings for yunio Wong Ching inquired with curiosity Dio you know why shushin allied with the chilin Pavilion chiai did not answer directly but posed a counter question recently I have been in seclusion and am unaware of such matters Wong Ching shook his head the alliance between shushan and the chilin Pavilion was solely instigated by sword King aimed at protecting the chilin Pavilion from the oppression of lungo mountain furthermore he always finds opportunities to be with Yuni he accompanies her during competitions and their interaction are evidently intimate suggesting they are indeed courting this time when his majesty unexpectedly arranged for yunio to marry the sixth Prince he must have felt deeply displeased yet dared not defy the Imperial decree thus he likely seeks to support your Ascension to the throne as a means to Mary yunio chaia analysis illuminated Wong Ching's understanding so it is once I Ascend to the throne I will possess the authority to anull the engagement between yunio and the sixth Prince subsequently granting her hand to sword King thereby by allowing him to circumvent disobeying the decree sword King is indeed quite astute wangqing silently admired sword King as strategy yes moreover while shushan does not support the struggle for the throne they also do not support alliances however sword King has managed to facilitate an exception for shushan to Ally with the chilin Pavilion which means he may also contrive to have shushan support you chiai re-evaluated his earlier statements I in that case can we trust sword kingk words chiai exclaimed with enthusiasm should Shuan its support his strength would significantly increase making it easier for him to ascend the throne indeed it appears that the fourth Prince genuinely seeks to harm you our best course of action as sword King advised is to take the initiative a glint of murderous intent flashed in chiaia eyes if the fourth Prince wishes to kill me then he must not blame me for my lack of courtesy a trace of ferocity also flickered in the eyes of the eighth Prince wangqing as the night deepened the master and disciple began to deliberate their plan to eliminate Wong Hong a that moment Wong tion chose not to return to the Imperial melum but instead utilized the turtle breathing technique to stealthily approach the residence of the fourth Prince Wong Hong this time he did not enter but instead affixed a pre-written note to a flying dagger launching it towards Wong Hong's study from a distance Wong Hong currently engrossed in Reading in his study was startled as the dagger pierced through the window embedding itself in the wall who Wong Hong exclaimed r rising to his feet in shock yet upon noticing the note attached to the dagger he approached it with curiosity after untying the note and reading its contents his expression changed dramatically you cunning eth brother while I have not targeted you you have already begun plotting against me Wong Hong disregarded the authenticity of the notes contents in his heart he had already harbored murderous intent towards wangqing since the latter was conferred the title of Prince Gong this note merely ignited that latent desire to kill eth brother let see who perishes first after incinerating the note he held Wong Hong dawned a black stealth outfit accompanied by shadowy guards and silently left the palace to head towards the prime minister's residence clearly intending to discuss strategies with the Prime Minister after instigating murderous intent between the two princes Wong tion returned to the Imperial melum let them engage in a deadly duel whoever flinches first shall be deemed the coward satisfied wongon made his way deeper into the melum now at the third tier realm he could access the sanctuaries of those revered monarchs throughout the extensive history of the Imperial melum there had been over a 100 Emperors yet only one Empress Wong tion's knowledge of this Empress was rather limited however from historical texts he gleaned some information this Empress was named Wong Jing and her father Wong Ming was quite unremarkable albeit a romantic at heart after giving birth to his daughter Wong Jing the empress could bear no more children not wishing to take concubines he devised a plan to raise his daughter as the Crown Prince eliminating anyone privy to this secret Wong Jing disguised as a boy matured into her teenage years showcasing astonishing Talent not only possessing formidable strength but also exceptional political Acumen she conquered Nan the South repelled deare in the north and quelled internal rebellions within the great Chen Dynasty thereby elevating her Prestige to its Zenith years later upon Wong Ming's demise the Crown Prince Wong Jing should have ascended the throne without issue however her identity as a woman was revealed by her uncle shocking the entire nation how could the great Shen Dynasty allow a woman to inherit the throne her uncle immediately made his move yet they underestimated her Wong Jing unsheathed her sword and slew her uncle suppressing all dissenting voices within the court turning the Halls into rivers of blood Wong Jing ascended the throne at Top This Mountain of corpses later marrying a member of the Wong Clan the first half of Wong Jing's life was marked by unparalleled dominance however in her later years her inability to break through in strength led her to lavishly indulge in male favorites neglecting state affairs and engaging in excessive debauchery even Gathering talented and handsome young men from Across the Nation to indulge her whims ultimately she remarkably achieved a breakthrough to The Immortal Realm before her demise truly a Marvel had it not been for her desire to slay the Dragon King she may not have met her end so prematurely in a dynasty that favored male succession over female the emergence of such an empress demonstrates her extraordinary prowess warranting recognition from the great Shen Dynasty what traps might lie within the empress's melum Wong tion gazed up at the imposing Crimson melum cautiously stepping inside the exterior bore a formidable dragon energy restriction yet upon channeling his third tier dragon energy he effortlessly gained entry upon entering the courtyard he was immediately struck by a powerful oppressive Force accompanied by faint sounds reminiscent of dragon Roars such formidable Dragon might Wong tion summoned his dragon energy to contend with the intangible pressure allowing him to Bear it somewhat pressing forward against the dragon's Majesty he was astonished to discover that the area surrounding the melum was overgrown with dragon saliva grass why is there so much Dragon saliva grass it is said that this grass only flourishes in soil imbued with Dragon Blood wongon crouched down to pluck a piece of dragon saliva grass tasting it and after a few chews a faint yet pure dragon energy emanated from the grass This truly is authentic Dragon saliva grass thus this land must have been nourished by Dragon Blood Wong tion's spirit swar and he scanned the vast expanse of dragon saliva grass surrounding the mosum his eyes shimmering with excitement ancestor I shall clear the weeds from your grave you need not thank me it is my duty Wong tion bowed towards the melum before rolling up his sleeves and beginning to uproot the dragon saliva grass this time Wong tition was indeed diligently weeding the ancestral grave working with remarkable Zeal there were numerous Dragon saliva herbs should these be refined into Dragon saliva pills I could effortlessly Ascend to the second tier realm even if I do not conco them into elixirs consuming all these Dragon saliva herbs would still allow me to break through to the second tier realm with this thought in mind Wong tion intensified his efforts in pulling out the weeds after an entire half day's labor he had almost completely cleared the area around the melum of dragon saliva herbs roughly estimating there to be at least 10,000 of them the sacred Monarch es melum was indeed extraordinary even before entering he had already reaped such a Bountiful Harvest of dragon saliva herbs if entering the melum the gains would likely be even greater restraining his impatience wongon quickly made his way towards the melum the grand entrance was adorned with an enormous fiery red dragon exuding a powerful draconic orud as soon as wongon approached a searing of flame surged towards him fortunately wongon reacted swiftly narrowly evading the fiery projectile with a side step it turned out to be the essence of a dragon soul not merely a rune steadying himself Wong tion's gaze swept over the entrance and he realized that the fiery red dragon was not merely a carved symbol but a dragon soul affixed to the door this dragon soul was not one formed from the condensation of dragon Chi like the one in Wong tion's Danon rather it was the soul of a true dragon that that had been imprisoned upon its death serving as a guardian could it be that the dragon saliva herb surrounding the melum had sprouted due to its Dragon Blood upon seeing this dragon soul wongon instantly understood why there were so many Dragon saliva herbs nearby it appeared that in ancient times to protect the empress's melum someone had slain a fire dragon and imprisoned its Soul at the entrance such a grand Display of Power to have a fire dragon soul serve as a sentinel as he pondered this the fire dragon soul lunged forth from the door bearing its fangs and Claws as it attacked wongon excellent Wong tion swiftly summoned the Excalibur of slaying Immortals and struck at the fire dragon soul the fire dragon soul did not flinch it Unleashed a fireball from its M instantly engulfing Wong tion's golden sword Aura I in the next moment that searing Fireball came barreling towards him such formidable energy Wong tion's expression shifted slightly and he sidestepped once more but just as he did the fire drag and soul continued to unleash a barrage of fiery projectiles after several evasive maneuvers Wong tion found himself overwhelmed the fire dragon soul spewed Fireballs as if they were mere bubbles Relentless and capable of Rapid Fire who could withstand such an onslaught 10,000 swords returned to origin Wong tion Unleashed his ultimate move summoning all the swords from the system space the moment 10,000 swords returned to origin was unleashed the Dynamics of the battlefield shifted dramatically the fire dragon's Fireballs were instantly suppressed forcing it back several meters yet that was all Point 10,000 swords returned to origin could not eliminate It Roar the fire dragon soul emitted a thunderous Roar and its body ignited in Crimson Flames this colossal fire dragon soul spanning over 10 m was truly a inspiring especially with those towering Flames causing wongon to break into a sweat the fire dragon soul went into a frenzy its power surging as its claws swiped fiercely sending sparks flying and knocking several holy swords aside this is bad it is gone berserk but can you be the only one to lose control Wong tion's gaze sharpened and he summoned his Dragon Chi to unleash a violent skill one he had acquired from the blood Fox capable of elevating his third tier strength to that of the second tier in an instant Point N dragon's Palm Wong tion Unleashed a powerful Palm strike towards the fire dragon soul summoning nine golden dragons that roared as they charged at it the fire dragon seeing the nine golden auras tilted its head back and simultaneously expelled nine massive Fireballs each resembling a meteor and brimming with power boom boom boom the nine Golden Dragon AAS collided with the nine Fireballs almost simultaneously erupting in a massive explosion of fiery energy that pushed Wong tion back several meters while also forcing the fire dragon soul to retreat a few meters as well before Wong tion could regain his footing he Unleashed 10,000 swords returned to origin at the fire dragon soul once more this time sending the Excalibur of slaying Immortals alongside bolstered by the fury of his attack and led by the Excalibur the power of 10,000 swords returned to origin surged severalfold having been driven back by the explosive energy the fire dragon soul had yet to react when it was pierced through by several swords Roar the fire dragon soul wried in agony its fiery energy gradually dissipating after several breaths the fire dragon soul finally vanished w tion had finally triumphed over it he collapsed onto the ground completely drained that fierce battle had exhausted all his Dragon Chi continuing any further the outcome of the fight would have been uncertain after taking a few moments to catch his breath Wong tion did not hastily enter the melum but instead sat cross-legged retrieving a dragon saliva herb from his system space and placing it into his mouth this was the quickest method to replenish his Dragon shei even Superior to consuming Spirit pills This truly was a of herbs as W tion chewed on the dragon saliva herb he gradually absorbed the meager Dragon Chi contained within while a single herb contained a minimal amount of dragon shei the sheer quantity made a significant difference and the dragon shei extracted was pure seamlessly integrating into his Danon without the need for transformation also aiding in the development of his dragon soul as he continued to absorb the dragon shei the quantity in his Danton steadily increased and the dragon soul visibly expanded time passed and eventually Wong tion successfully digested all 10,000 Dragon saliva herbs his strength having smoothly broken through to the second tier realm the speed of this upgrade could rival that of a rocket the dragon soul in his Danton also swelled considerably If released it would measure approximately 5 m in length with a deep exhale Wong tion opened his eyes releasing a breath of turbid air the dragon saliva herbs were indeed effective allowing for virtually unrestricted breakthroughs in a wonder the oyal family sought to slay Dragons Dragon Chi was a supreme cultivation supplement for our Wong Clan once his condition was optimal Wong tition approached the mamk grand entrance once more this time without the fire dragon soul guarding it he successfully pushed open the door upon entering he was astounded by the sight before him three dragon corpses harnessing a crystal coffin the scene extraordinarily striking my goodness this Empress is truly formidable even in death she commands the presence of three dragon corpses Wong tion was utterly taken aback after a long while he regained his composure truly deserving of being the only Empress she exuded an air of dominance in life and even in death she retained such Authority Wong tion admired this empress and cautiously approached the crystal coffin surely if I were to touch such a commanding figure I would surely receive something extraordinary with this exhilarating thought Wong tion took careful steps forward but halfway there one of the Dragon Corpses suly moved its claw the motion was so slight that it would have gone unnoticed by anyone not paying close attention wongon too did not immediately register this detail as he continued towards the crystal coffin after taking a few more steps a massive Dragon claw suddenly lifted and struck down with great force this time wongon finally sensed the danger leaping backward just in time to narrowly evade the blow which crashed into the ground creating a substantial pit this Dragon corpse can still move Wong tion felt a chill run down his spine but quickly regained his composure at that moment having been Disturbed all three dragon corpses awakened simultaneously their lifeless eyes fixating on Wong tion gulp with all three dragon corpses staring him down Wong tion's heart raced yet fortunately they did not make any further moves however even under such scrutiny it was exceedingly terrifying the dragon pupils of these corpses were Ash Gray indicating they were indeed deceased the only reason they could stand was likely due to the draconic energy emanating from the patterns on the coffin Wong tion forced himself to remain calm if these are indeed dead Dragon corpses could I not touch them and receive a reward the thought struck him and he felt a surge of Madness perhaps he might be struck down by the three dragon corpses yet with greater risk comes greater reward fortune favors the Bold having made up his mind wongon summoned his dragon shei and dashed towards the nearest Dragon corpse at an incredible speed the dragon corpse seeing Wong tion approach raised its massive claws in unison to strike him down boom boom boom Wong tion evaded with lightning speed the dragon claws crashing down and creating one pit after another he deafly dodged all the claw strikes and he had to admit that his earlier decision was astute having broken through to the second tier realm his speed had more than doubled making it feasible to evade while also counterattacking the three dragon corpses simultaneously however as he drew closer to the coffin the dragon corpses attacked became more frequent when a dragon claw fell beside him he seized the opportunity to grasp that enormous claw ding congratulations to the host for touching a terrestrial level corpse gaining 10 years of dragon soul Wong tion was overjoyed he had acquired dragon soul which would allow his Donan dragon soul to grow rapidly absorb the dragon soul without a second thought Wong tion absorbed the 10 years of dragon soul the golden dragon soul in his Danton swelled instantly to 10 m in length adorned with fine golden scales excellent now to touch the next dragon corpse Wong tion leapt onto the dragon corpse and began to Sprint across its back while the other two dragon corpses attempted to strike him down with their claws just as they landed on this Dragon corpse they smashed it into the ground allowing wongon to grasp one of its claws ding congratulations to the host for touching a terrestrial level corpse gaining another 10 years of dragon soul another 10 years of dragon soul absorb Wong tion once again again absorbed the dragon Essence accumulated over the past decade causing the Golden Dragon Spirit in his Danon to grow larger now reaching an impressive 13 M and adorned with Majestic Dragon whiskers exuding an even more formidable presence excellent only one Dragon corpse Remains employing the Same technique as before Wong tion swiftly leaped onto the dragon corpse and began to reu in as the claws of the Third Dragon corpse descended he once again embraced it ding congratulations to the host for touching a terrestrial level corpse and receiving a decade of dragon Essence with another decade of dragon Essence gained he began the absorption process without hesitation the Golden Dragon Spirit in his Danon having absorbed the decade of dragon Essence grew once more now measuring 15 M its golden scales becoming denser its whiskers longer and Beads appearing in its Dragon Eyes the Dragon Spirit was maturing rapidly though his surprise in such a short time his Dragon Spirit had grown so significantly Wong tion suppressing his excitement made his way along the body of the Dragon corpse towards the crystal coffin in the final stretch he leaped directly onto the crystal coffin however just as he landed two dragon claws descended upon him almost simultaneously Wong tion akin to a martial artist could only brace himself with one hand against each claw struggling to withstand their immense weight yet the dragon claws were exceedingly heavy and Powerful with his second tier strength he could not hold out for long how heavy I can't sustain this for much longer I must dismantle the dragon patterned energy on the coffin only then will these three dragon corpses cease their assault Wong tion contemplated but his hands were restrained by the two claws leaving him unable to free himself to disrupt the dragon patterned energy on the crystal coffin I in this critical moment he recalled the Dragon Spirit residing in his Danon it was time to utilize the Dragon Spirit with a loud shout a massive Golden Dragon erupted from his Danton the dragon entirely golden with five claws scales whiskers and eyes fully matured charged directly towards the dragon pattern on the crystal coffin a thunderous Roar echoed as the dragon pattern was instantly destroyed without the support of the Dragon patterns energy the three dragon corpses collapsed granting wongon his freedom what a windfall wongon slumped onto the crystal coffin gazing at the now 15 M long Golden Dragon Spirit his face beaming with delight such a golden dragon Spirit could easily rival a second tier expert after resting for a while Wong tion eagerly shifted his gaze to the crystal coffin ancestor I have come to see you if you disagree please make a sound if there is no response I shall take it as your consent Wong tion jumped down from the crystal coffin his eyes glimmering with anticipation no response came from within the coffin ancestor since you remain silent I shall assume your acquiescence thus I will pry open the coff wongan produced The juen Sword and began to pry at the Crystal coffin the material of the coffin was of high quality and exceedingly hard however the juen sword was no ordinary item with Wong tion's efforts the coffin finally loosened Joy surged within him and his movements quickened after laboring for half a stick of incense he finally Pride open the crystal coffin as the coffin opened rather than a foul odor of Decay a strange fragrance wafted forth mingled with spiritual energy Wong tion quickly focused and held his breath simultaneously taking out the Jing tion Pearl previously he had suffered from this fragrance but this time he was overly cautious this was the fragrance of a corpse imbued with spiritual energy a phenomenon unique to the remains of a Transcendent expert it seemed harmless this fragrance contains spiritual energy yet Wang tion still dared not put away the jingon Pearl after bypassing the corpse fragrance he extended his head into the crystal coffin and beheld a translucent skeleton surrounded by various rare burial items the skeleton was Exquisite the most beautiful he had ever seen among all the remains indicating that the remains of a Transcendent expert were indeed extraordinary after admiring the skeleton for a moment Wang tion eagerly reached out as soon as he touched the empress's skeleton the systems voice resonated at just the right moment ding congratulations to the host for touching a Heavenly level corpse earning chapter 109 touching the the empress's reward when Wong tion's hand made contact with the empress's skeleton the systems voice sounded once more ding congratulations to the host for touching a Heavenly level corpse earning 10 years of dragon energy excellent 10 years of dragon energy should significantly enhance my strength Wong tion rejoiced the reward was dragon energy which he could absorb directly without the need for refinement this was undoubtedly the purest form of cultivation energy for him absorb the dragon energy without a moment's hesitation Wong tion sat cross-legged and began to absorb the 10 years of dragon energy he had just acquired as the rich dragon energy flowed into his body he directly funneled it into his Danon the Golden Dragon Spirit in his Danon began to swim joyfully clearly delighted by this pure dragon energy the decade of dragon energy was vast and even for the Dragon Spirit its absorption would require considerable time thus Wong tion sat quietly gradually absorbing the dragon energy his strength growing rapidly and the Dragon Spirit in his Danton continued to evolve time passed without his notice until finally the 10 years of dragon energy was completely absorbed his strength surged from the initial to the later phase of the second tier effectively elevating him by two minor levels while the length of the Golden Dragon Spirit increased by 1 meter now measuring 16 M when Wong tion opened his eyes two beams of Golden Light shot forth dragon energy truly is the quintessential Elixir for our Royal lineage no wonder generations of Emperors sought to slay dragons forcing the dragon Clan to flee overseas after this reflection Wong Ton's attention returned to the empress's skeleton according to the system Heavenly level corpses could yield multiple rewards what more could he discover suppressing his excitement Wong tion reached out once again toward the empress's skeleton as's hand made contact with the remains the systems voice echoed once more ding congratulations to the host for touching a Heavenly level corpse gaining the technique Dian Wan D upon hearing the name of this technique Wong tion's eyes widened in astonishment what Dian Wan D is this not the female version of The Hang de aing Wong tion suddenly recalled the empress Wong Jing's later years characterized by Indulgence in the acquisition of numerous male consorts in her herum remarkably she ascended to the Transcendent realm amidst such debauchery could it be that her advancement was facilitated by this Dian Lan Dal Enlightenment dawned upon him as he sensed he had inadvertent ly uncovered another secret of his ancestor it appeared that both the empress and the spirit Emperor cultivated through the Dual cultivation path albe at the empress succeeded in breaking through to the Transcendent realm while the spirit Emperor did not system comprehend Dian Lan D wangon felt it necessary to critique this technique but the systems response DED his enthusiasm deanan dong is only suitable for female physiques as a male the host cannot cultivate it what only suitable for females wongon was momentarily taken aback but soon understood the empress Wang Jing was indeed female were he male he would naturally cultivate the Hang D ning since I cannot cultivate it then generate a book for me wongon wished to preserve this technique intending for yuno to study it so that they could cultivate together.it was true dual cultivation wangon would practice Wang D ning while yuno would practice D Wan two Exquisite dual cultivation techniques that would not only bring double the pleasure but also potentially yield double the cultivation results the generation was promptly completed the system quickly responded excellent Wong tion retrieved the newly generated book Dian Wan dalone from the system space and casually flipped through it only to find the content utterly explosive making it hard for him to put down my goodness this is even more provocative than the Hang D ning it even includes illustrations detailing various postures Wang tion was captivated engrossed in each page fearful of missing any detail after a full hour he finally finished reading Dean W Dal his blood surging with excitement what a splendid book Wong tion took a deep breath calming himself he would present this technique to yunio he wondered if she would be willing to cultivate it if it could Aid her Ascent to the Transcendent realm surely she would not refuse Wong tion returned the book to the system space with that thought in mind his attention shifted back to the empress's skeleton his eyes sparkling with anticipation as if the remains within the coffin were not those of his ancestor but a treasure chest of Rewards ancestor may you bless me with even greater Treasures this time after bowing to the empress Wong tion reached out once more towards her skeleton however this time upon contact no system reward was granted Wong tion tried a few more times yet the system remained silent what is going on system did you not say that Heavenly level corpses could yield multiple rewards why is there none now wongon voiced his confusion Heavenly level corpses also have their tears this skeleton was only a transcendent being in life thus yielding at most two rewards the system provided a timely explanation I see Wong tion realized then recalled the female corpse he had touched in the black melum did it also have a limitation on the number of rewards it was no use pondering this now he shifted his Focus to the burial items within the crystal coffin since he could no longer acquire Treasures from his ancestor he would take some of the burial items instead Wong tion casually examined the burial items and to his astonishment he discovered that they were all Sur Treasures each item if presented to the world would inight Fierce competition among experts and now all of these belong to wongon among them was also a material he had been searching for das this a Talisman for exorcising demons wongon lifted a lustrous translucent white stone which emanated a sacred glow that enveloped him in a comforting Aura the surface was inscribed with a myriad of exorcism runes too his astonishment he had already uncovered three materials without hesitation Wong tion stored the exorcism Talisman in the system space then turned his gaze to the other burial Treasures among them were a Dragon Emperor sword four dragon balls a Celestial Royal manual eight vials of Exquisite Elixir a suit of golden silk dragon scale armor and a phoenix feather fan each an invaluable asset to wangon as for the other trinkets such as porcelain gold silver jewels and precious paintings he held no interest ancestor I shall borrow these for now should you object do voice your concerns if silence prevails I shall take it as your consent Wong tion ever courteous first sought permission from The Departed before taking the burial Treasures after a brief wait without a response from the tomb's owner he confidently gathered these useful items into his system space thank you ancestor I will return with more Treasures upon my next visit having completed his task wongon carefully replaced the coffin lid bowing Thrice before the coffin of the empress to show his respect once his Scavenging was finished he exited the empress melum upon stepping outside he realized that night had fallen and several days had seemingly passed I should find yunio First and present her with the Dawan daong skill Wong tion glanced up at the Moon dawned his silver mask and retrieved the moon Fox Pearl activating the skill of moonlight escape this ensured that his movements would go unnoticed I in an instant he reappeared near the chilin Pavilion where he could see the lights still glowing in yuno's study still reading at this late hour a faint smile graced Wong Ton's lips as he activated the moonlet Escape skill once more in the next moment he stood outside yuno's study gently tapping on the door inside yunio was quietly painting her subject none other than her beloved elder brother tion the saying goes that one day a part feels like three Autumns and it had been 5 days since they last met leaving yunio yearning for him she even contemplated visiting the Royal tomb to find him but to protect her brother's identity she remained confined to her room unable to see her elder brother she felt a profound longing and to alleviate her yearning she resorted to painting suddenly a knock echoed from the door prompting her to reluctantly set down her brush to answer it father I said I would go to bed soon yunio instinctively assumed it was her father urging her to sleep but upon opening the door she found the person she had been longing for elder brother tion is it really you am I dreaming yunio rubbed her eyes vigorously scarcely believing that the figure before her was indeed her heart's desire it's me shout shot I've come to see you and I brought you a wonderful gift that will Aid in your cultivation Wong tion said gently elder brother tion it truly is you I've missed you so much yunio suddenly leaped into Wong tion's Embrace holding him tightly as her eyes glistened with unshed tears the torment of 5 days of longing found a semblance of release on this day let us speak inside it would not do for others to see us here Wong tion whispered softly soothingly stroking yuno's back back yuno let out a soft sound leading Wong ton into the study and locking the door behind them having been apart for 5 days Wong tition too felt a Pang of longing for yunio reluctant to release her delicate hand which she willingly allowed him to hold elder brother tion what have you been doing these past few days why did you not come to find me yuno's voice carried a hint of melancholy tinged with a playful pout I was busy acquiring something special for you Wong tion replied producing the jwan daong manual for the system space though he refrained from showing it to her immediately what is this Emanual yuno's lovely face brimmed with curiosity indeed it is a Celestial grade manual that can assist you in breaking through the Mortal limits and attaining immortality Wong tion said mysteriously what kind of manual is it may I see it yuno's curiosity was peaked it is known that many prodigies toil for a lifetime without breaking through the confines of mortality highlighting the challenge of reaching the realm of Immortals yet here lay a manual that could Aid in overcoming such barriers a prospect too intriguing to resist kiss me and I shall show you wongon teased playfully how insufferable yuno's face flushed Crimson but she still rose on her toes to place a gentle peck on his lips fleeting as a dragonfly skimming the water I asked that truly a kiss that was hardly more than a brush wongon continued to Gest very well I shall kiss you again faced with Wong tion's playful Antics yunio felt over overwhelmed and shyly leaned in once more this time their kiss lingered a moment longer but just as yunio was about to pull away wangon suddenly tightened his Embrace and leaned down to return the kiss with fervor the sweetness of the moment rendered him reluctant to part yunio felt as though she might suffocate from the intensity of his kiss her heart racing wildly her cheeks of flame I in that instant the agony of 5 days apart was finally released she wrapped her arms around wangon responding passionately to his kiss they shared a prolonged Embrace in the study reluctant to separate their gazes entwined like threads of silk elder brother tion can I see it now yuno asked her face still flushed her eyes sparkling with longing here but remember to memorize its contents well wongon said handing the Jawan dalong manual to her upon glancing at the title yuno's face readed a new why does this manual have such a name having been well educated yunio understood the implications of the phrase It's merely a title the content is what truly matters wongon replied instinctively I ask that so yunio filled with anticipation opened the manual but after just two pages she shyly returned it to Wong tion elder brother tion why did you give me such an indecent book her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment as she realized the manual contained various scandalous positions this cannot be an indecent book look closely it contains explanations on energy circulation and techniques for practice this is a serious cultivation manual wongon emphasized the word serus with particular conviction I that so trusting wongon yunio cautiously resumed her reading as she continued she discovered valuable insights alongside the risku illustrations the manual indeed detailed numerous cultivation techniques and provided annotations for energy circulation however the more she read the redder her face became her heart racing faster and she found herself wanting to close the book yet her body compelled her to read until the very end at so what do you think this manual is quite remarkable is it not the only Empress of the daan dynasty ascended to the realm of Immortals through this very practice thus it has been validated by an immortal Wong tion asserted earnestly elder brother tion where did you acquire this manual yo felt that the manual was indeed extraordinary its energy Pathways and techniques were notably Superior compared to ordinary texts however the thought of Performing the prescribed actions left her feeling thoroughly embarrassed I will tell you about that later Wong tion paused before shifting the conversation would you care to attempt practicing this manual now right now but it says here that a male with spiritual energy is required to assist in the practice where am I to find one and do you agree to let me seek another man yuno looked at wongon her expression rif with embarrassment but isn't there one right here I shall take a minor loss and assist you in testing this manual Wong tion responded with righteous conviction you would accompany me y shk heart raced at the thought practicing this manual entailed engage engaging in Intimate acts and they were not yet wed was that not too shameful yet for reasons unknown a flicker of Desire ignited within her heart for she would soon be marrying her elder brother tion in less than a month should yuno and Wang tion test the Jawan dong manual please respond in this segment one for agreement two for disagreement chapter 110 the secret chamber experiment yuno found herself in a tumultuous state of indecision contemplating whether to experiment with the diwan dong manual along side her elder brother tion although the practice required engaging in certain acts they would be marrying in just over 20 days surely a trial could be seen as a form of early consummation soon yino arrived at her decision elder brother tion I I have made up my mind her face was a flame her voice barely above a whisper as discussing such matters felt exceedingly shameful for a young woman if you've made your decision would you like me to assist you in the experiment Wong tion inquired eagerly not only wishing to support yuno in testing the Jawan daong manual but also eager to explore the potential of his own Imperial cultivation methods curious if they could indeed be applied in practice the prospect of testing two cultivation methods simultaneously promised double the pleasure a Temptation for anyone imuno nodded shyly her beautiful eyes averted from Wang tion's gaze her heart racing like a startled deer then let us find a place to conduct the experiment swiftly Wong tion exhilarated by yuno's agreement felt his blood surging with excitement let us go to my secret chamber yunio murmured softly her head bowed this study lacks soundproofing if we are discovered during the experiment it would be disastrous I in the secluded chamber isolated from the outside world their activities would remain undiscovered regardless of the volume of their actions time is of the essence Dawn is fast approaching Wong tion could hardly contain his impatience eager to experiment with the Dual cultivation technique alongside yunio her graceful figure and breathtaking Beauty stirred intense desire within him once the decision to proceed with the experiment was made yunio found herself unexpectedly anxious even her Palms damp with perspiration this was her first encounter in such a manner and to claim she was not nervous would be a blatant falsehood upon opening the wooden door of the study yunio cautiously peaked outside ensuring no one was around before daring to step out fearful of being caught we can come out now brother tion she whispered glancing back at Wong tion at he wishing to avoid unnecessary complications concealed his presence with the turtle breathing technique before emerging from the study thus no one would sense his Aura making it less likely for them to be discovered let us proceed Wong tion felt a sense of secretive thrill Ain to lovers sneaking away for a rendevu in the dead of night yunio led the way treading carefully on the modeled Moonlight her nervousness evident as she frequently glanced around anxious about potential Witnesses Wong tion followed closely his anticipation for the upcoming dual cultivation experiment with yunio growing however after only a few steps a familiar voice rang out behind them Cher why are you still awake at this late hour oh and Wong tion is here too the voice of Yun jongi startled yunio causing her to shiver as if caught in a misdeed her heart racing with anxiety Wong tion felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him father wongon wished to teach me sword techniques so I came over in the middle of the night yunio quickly fabricated an excuse fully aware of the consequences of revealing her true intentions any father would disapprove of his daughter's secretly meeting with a lover especially after she had been promised to the sixth Prince sword techniques Yun jongi furrowed his brow what kind of swordsmanship is taught at this hour indeed I just mastered a powerful Sword move and rushed over to teach little Chio wongon chimed in following Yun chunk lead the swordsmanship from Mount Shu shouldn't be disclosed right Yun jongi not easily deceived immediately sense something a miss this technique is of my own creation unrelated to mount Shu Wong tion quickly clarified I see then I truly appreciate Wong tion's guidance Yun jongi expressed his gratitude but suddenly shifted the conversation however it is quite late now let us practice the sword techniques tomorrow morning wongon I have prepared a splendid guest room for you please follow me this declaration deflated yuno's hopes realizing that their experiment would have to wait yet wongon had his own plans the night was still young the moon still hung in the sky and he could utilize the moonlet escape to meet yunio prepare the bath in the chamber and wait for me I will be there shortly he whispered to yunio before hastily approaching Yun jongi then I shall trouble you Lord Yun wongon said as Yun jongi nodded and led him towards the Eastern guest room of Chillin Pavilion watching Wong tion's retreating figure yunio felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety brother tion could he still wish to experiment with me her cheeks flushed Crimson akin to a bloming flower captivating in its Beauty Once back in her room yunio took a bath cleansing her fair and delicate body before Dawning loose clothing facilitating ease for their impending experiment after her bath she recalled that the chamber contained nothing but a meditation mat rendering it unsuitable for their dual cultivation practice she promptly retrieved a spirit grass mat woven from luminous grass from her budoir knowing that resting upon it would enhance her cultivation a treasure of mid-grade Earthly quality rare and precious having completed her preparations yunio cautiously stepped out of her room and swiftly made her way to the secluded chamber glancing around nervously to avoid being discovered fortunately the chamber was not far from her room and she arrived after just a few dozen steps being alone she felt assured that even if seen it would not raise any suspicions upon entering the chamber she was astonished to find Wang tion already waiting inside brother tion how did you enter my chamber were you not supposed to be in the Eastern guest room did you not give me a key to the chamber during your last visit it is easy to be seen outside so I decided to come in and wait for you wongon replied with a slight smile with the moon Fox Pearl he could arrive in an instant bathed in the glow of the night Pearl within the chamber Wong ton could not help but admire yunio she dawned a loose white night gown resembling a newly blossomed water lily delicate and enchanting her figure was graceful even with the Gown obscuring her form the outline of her curves was evident her Rosy complexion akin to a ripe Apple bore a hint of shyness and trepidation igniting a desire within him her damp hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders reminiscent of flowers kissed by Morning Dew fresh and ethereal she embodied the essence of transcendent Beauty exuding and intoxicating Aura shiao you are breathtaking Wong tion marveled utterly captivated by her Allure brother tion I brought a spirit grass mat perhaps it will enhance the efficacy of our dual cultivation yunio shy and unable to meet his gaze silently laid the mat upon the chamber floor you are indeed thoughtful wongon nodded in approval although the chamber offered excellent isolation the absence of a bed made it somewhat inconvenient to fully engage in their practice now with the spirit grass mat they could proceed with confidence after laying the mat yunio removed her shoes allowing her delicate jade-like feet to touch the mat Wong tion unable to resist stepped closer to her Enchanted by the beauty so near her demeanor inviting and alluring causing his blood to Surge a new what shall we do next brother tion yuno inquired her face flushed with embarrassment first we must remove our clothing during the practice our bodies will generate heat and remaining clothed could be perilous Wong tion replied thoughtfully his words were Earnest during dual cultivation the body indeed heated up and one could not engage in such activities without shedding their garments upon hearing this yunio felt an inexplicable wave of anxiety and shame it was her first time undressing in front of a man yet deep down there was a flicker of anticipation biting her Tinder lip she seemed to resolve herself gradually peeling off her loose garments revealing her Flawless formed I in an instant the entire linging grassland was engulfed in a cacophony of battlecries with blood flowing like a river originally a 100 Shadow guards were poised to effortlessly crush the eight cloaked figures however the outcome was utterly unexpected the hund shadow guards were completely annihilated by the eight black clad individuals I in less than an hour the entire Battalion was decimated while the eight black clad figures sustained only minor injuries are you per chance the Elders of the ton long sect Wong hongk face displayed profound astonishment as he recognized the swordsmanship they employed it is worth noting that his shadow guards possess strengths ranging from the sixth to the third rank although not the Pinnacle of expertise the mere fact that 100 of them could be so easily vanquished by these eight individuals signified that they were indeed top tier Masters indeed fourth brother it has been a while I trust you have been well a familiar silhouette emerged before Wong Hong accompanied by the gray-haired Elder chiai who was none other than the master of the eighth Prince old eight how dare you lie in Ambush here do you seek to take my life fourth Prince Wong Hong glared furiously who claims I wish to slay my brother you simply fell victim to the Ling Xiao Dragon what relevance does that hold for me a faint smile graced the lips of the eth prince wangqing they had shadowed the fourth Prince for several days ensuring he would come to Wuhan Mountain nightly to hunt the linga Dragon thus they summoned the eight Elders of the ton long sect aiming to eliminate the fourth prince in one Fell Swoop and eliminate future threats marvelous you have already devised your excuses thus father Emperor shall not lay blame upon you fourth Prince Wong Hong suddenly applauded even praising wangqing his expression devoid of any tension or trepidation old four with death at your doorstep do you have any final words to share wangqing believed victory was firmly within his grasp the outcome is still uncertain do not Nai assume your Victory is assured fourth Prince Wong Hong smiled faintly before clapping his hands with Force instantly the entire Wuhan Mountain illuminated with a formation barrier within the confines of this formation The eth Prince wangqing chiai and the eight elders of the ton long sect found themselves immobilized their internal spiritual energy solidified and rendered inert this sudden turn of events bewildered Wong ching and his companions what is happening why can't I move my spiritual energy has been frozen the eighth Prince wangqing wore a face of shock and the elders beside him began to panic being immobilized was one thing at least they could retaliate but now with their internal spiritual energy seemingly sealed they were akin to sheep awaiting Slaughter much like the linga and snared by a super trapping device surprised unforeseen the fourth Prince erupted into laughter as his laughter faded prime minister Su Janan and a host of experts from lho Mountain emerged from the Shadows including the head of the formation sect the formation of Wuhan Mountain had been personally set up by him this heavenly level formation was specifically designed to Target top tier Masters upon seeing this assembly of experts the eth prince wangqing s realization dawned we ve fallen into a trap so you deliberately hunted at Wuhan Mountain for five consecutive days to lure us into this formation wangqing was not excessively foolish with a bit of analysis he quickly deduced the truth old8 you are not entirely foolish my hunting here was not solely for the linga Dragon but also to catch you my big fish the fourth Prince let out a wild laugh upon receiving the dagger message indicating that old eight intended to kill him he immediately consulted with suenan to devise a counter strategy which resulted in luring them into the Heavenly level form and capturing them all this tactic proved effective old eight had indeed fallen for it fourth brother it seems I have underestimated you eth Prince wangqing gritted his teeth secretly resenting himself for underestimating the fourth Prince I in truth he had underestimated Su Janan the old Fox who not only possessed formidable strength but was also a master of cunning schemes furthermore the head of the formation sect had been personally invited by su Janan otherwise their plan would not have succeeded so seamlessly old 8 on this day next year I shall visit your grave to pay my respects rest assured in your demise here for I will inform father emperor that you were slain by the Ling Xiao Dragon Wong Hong returned Wong Ching's words verbatim inciting immense indignation in the latter kill them for me Wong Hong wasted no time directly issuing orders with a wave of his hand a his command the eight Elders of lungo mountain led by their Master mushan Yuan charged toward the eighth Prince and the Elders of the ton long sect you your Treasures xiaosi shouted in desperation they had been immobilized and their spiritual energy Frozen their only means of Counterattack lay in their Treasures however without spiritual energy to fuel them the treasures power was drastically diminished proving insufficient to fend off the onslaught of the experts from lho Mountain in merely half an hour the eighth Prince wonging and his companions revealed signs of defeat with one Elder already perishing on the spot feudal Treasures without spiritual energy cannot withstand this surrender willingly Wong Hong observed them quietly a flicker of Triumph glimmering in his eyes too orchestrate this grand scheme he had expended considerable effort and time to deceive old eight even sacrificing a hundred Shadow guards in the process as he witnessed the increasing number of Fallen Elders despair finally took root in Wong Ching's heart your highness I possess a treasure for escape it may assist you in fleeing if you can successfully Escape hasten to the ton long sect and accumulate enough strength before ret turning for vengeance I in a critical moment chiai produced a flying shuttle from his possession this treasure allowed for brief spatial traversal and required minimal spiritual energy to operate making it perfectly suited for the current predicament Master if you bestow this treasure upon me what shall you do eth Prince wangqing felt deeply moved yet could not suppress his concern for his master's safety now is not the time for such considerations hurry and depart delay any longer and we may all perish here chiai forcibly pressed the flying shuttle into Wong Ching's hand simultaneously channeling the last of his spiritual energy into him after receiving the energy Wong Ching activated the flying shuttle then taking advantage of the fourth Prince Wong Hong's momentary distraction he entered the shuttle do I in the next moment a flash of white light illuminated the area and eighth Prince wangqing vanished Without a Trace fourth Prince Wong Hong witnessing old A's sudden disappearance was taken aback then erupted into a furious Roar pursue him do not let old a Escape annihilate the remaining ton long sect members enraged that the prize had slipped away he clenched the dragon scale sword and personally Advanced upon chiai chiai strength originally far surpassed that of Wong Hong yet under the Heavenly level ceiling formation his power was severely constrained after a strenuous resistance using his treasures Wong Hong finally pierced Xiao xia chest with a sword Crimson blood gushing forth fourth Prince you have slain me the eighth Prince Will avenge my death with his talent in less than 10 years he shall be Invincible at that time you shall join me chiai laughed maniacally spewing forth a mouthful of blood before gradually collapsing the remaining eight Elders of the ton long sect were also slain to the last quickly pursue do not let old Aid Escape Wong Hong screamed in a frenzy however the others were unable to give Chase the flying shuttle traversed space and with their capabilities they could not Trace its path rendering them in capable of pursuit the eighth Prince utilized the flying shuttle with our abilities we cannot catch up our immediate priority is not the eighth Prince prime minister Su Jinan interjected as he approached Su Junk's words momentarily calmed forth Prince Wong Hong Minister Sue what shall we do now Wong Hong felt somewhat disoriented the eth prince's terrifying Talent filled him with unease if he returned to the ton long sect and diligently cultivated within 5 years he could reach the Pinnacle of the first Rank and in another five he might even break through to the celestial realm at which point he would pose a grave threat the eighth Prince is injured and will undoubtedly avoid returning to the capital while he is absent we must hasten to the palace and Stage a cou su Janan suggested with a venomous glint in his ey a cou Wong Hong inhaled sharply never imagining he would resort to such means to ascend to power yes while the eighth Prince is away we must swiftly solidify our plans should he return after attaining strength we need not fear Him if he dares to come for you it would be deemed treason and we can openly rally against the ton long sect Su Janan declared coldly these words stirred Wong Hong s ambition indeed should he become emperor even if old eight sought Revenge it would be labeled treason allowing him to issue a decree for National Pursuit very well we shall proceed to Stage a coup Wong hongk gaze hardened as he gripped the dragon scale sword having made up his mind meanwhile wongon and yunio were in a secret chamber experimenting with the Dual cultivation technique gazing upon yuno's Flawless form he could no longer contain himself advancing and embracing her tightly then fervently kissing her though yunio felt bashful she reciprocated with enthusiasm I in that moment their feelings deepened and Wong tion's clothing gradually slipped away before long the two became entwined their dual cultivation techniques shining brilliantly in that instant chapter 112 the fourth Prince's reeside the night of fierce battle did not leave Wang tion fatigued rather under the influence of the Hang D ning his Spirit grew increasingly vibrant and the dragon energy within him swelled the cultivation effects of the Hang de maging were thoroughly validated that night as for yunio Shu confirmed the Dual cultivation benefits of the dandelion and Phoenix technique after a night of intense battle she emerged not fatigued but rather with a Rosy complexion becoming even more alluring had it not been for yuno's inexperience with intimacy wongon would have continued their cultivation as the clouds gathered and the rain ceased yuno nestled against Wong tion like a delicate kitten her lovely face radiating Bliss and contentment Wong tion cast a glance at the blood red plum blossom resting on the spirit grass mat and realized that nothing substantial had transpired between him and yunio that night they had merely succumbed to intoxication and lay together shiao please assess your condition have you experienced an increase in strength wongon inquired with urgency simult ously he conducted a self-examination which filled him with astonishment his prowess had actually surged from the late stage of the second tier to Perfection just one step away from breaking through to the first tier ey in other wordss a single night of cultivation with yunio had elevated him by a small rank the surprise was not his alone after inspecting her own strength yunio was equally exhilarated tangu I've reached the midstage of the third tier after just one night of she began but suddenly her cheeks flushed Crimson her sense of modesty preventing her from uttering those words regardless she had ascended from the early stage to the midstage of the third tier in a single night yunio was thrilled never having anticipated such rapid growth it seemed that the art of turning the world upside down was indeed beneficial for cultivation since the effects are so remarkable shall we continue Wong tion proposed wrapping his arms around yuno's slender waist the enchanting memories of their previous night lingered in his mind isn't it inappropriate to do such things dur during the day yunio shyly lowered her head though her heart brimmed with anticipation if they could achieve such progress in one night wouldn't repeated cultivation hasten her breakthrough to the second tier yet as a young lady how could she voice such sentiments what of it we are merely engaging in legitimate cultivation Wong tion emphasized the word legitimate as his hands began to wander over yuno's Exquisite form her cheeks deepened in Hue her breath quickening and ultimately she acquiesced to the situation even suly responding in kind seeing her lack of resistance wongon joyfully mounted her meanwhile within the Royal Palace an impending Calamity was about to unfold a the break of dawn the slumbering emperor Wong Jean was suddenly seized by a violent coughing fit his breath becoming erratic culminating in a spurt of blood that stained the bed Crimson your majesty are you unwell Elder High who had been vigilantly at his side rushed over concern etched across his aged Visage Xiao hi I fear my time is short assist me in drafting a succession edict Wang xen gasped a these words Elder High's eyes widen with alarm having served the emperor for over 50 years their bond ran deeper than the ocean your majesty please speak he urged suppressing his sorrow as he retrieved a blank edict and writing materials I have decided to pass the throne to my eldest son Wong Yin xiaoai please draft the decree Wong xun declared his voice frail as if this conclusion had been reached after contemplation Elder High was taken aback he had assumed that the emperor's conferral of the eth prince as a royal was a sign that the throne would be passed to him yet it was ultimately bestowed upon the eldest Prince however he refrained from questioning instead picking up the brush and swiftly writing the decree xiaoai do you Harbor doubts why after bestowing the title of Prince upon the eth do I not pass the throne to him Wong xan inquired his expression weak as he looked toward Xiao High your majesty your action surely have their rationale I shall Focus solely on serving you Elder High wisely chose not to pry further the great Chen Dynasty had persisted for over 10,000 years with its officials still basking in the glory of their ancestors believing the dynasty would endure indefinitely unaware that the world outside had undergone profound Transformations and that neighboring nations were rapidly gaining strength were it not for the recent campaign against the daa nation I would not feel this sense of urgency Wong Jean continued coughing violently before resuming though the eth possesses great talent he is still too youthful and lacks political Acumen should he Ascend he would surely be outmaneuvered by the fourth Prince moreover he lacks support in the court and the military rendering him ineffectual as for the fourth Prince he possesses some political skill and a ruthless heart yet lacks foresight furthermore that old Fox sujan on is not to be underestimated while I am alive he will dutifully play the role of a minister but should I pass the fourth Prince will struggle to control him and may ultimately be usurped by this cunning old Fox as for the other princes their capabilities are even less worthy of mention only the eldest Wang Yin Can ensure the great Chien Dynasty endures for another Century he possesses commendable talent and formidable martial prowess having long served on the front lines earning the Loyalty of the military furthermore the third Prince a wolf in sheep's clothing only heeds the eldest and with these two brothers even the king of baong must submit while neighboring Nations will think twice before disrespecting our great Shen Dynasty at this point Wong xan erupted into another violent coughing fit blood spilling from his lips Elder High was deeply concerned for the emperor's well-being yet his pin did not falter and soon the succession edict was prepared your majesty the succession edict is ready for your review Elder High presented the document to Emperor Wang xhan with great effort Wong Jean focused his gaze confirming its accuracy before retrieving a Jade seal from the bedside and handing it to Elder High seal it he commanded understood Elder High replied accepting the seal and pressing it onto the edict this action signified that the next emperor of the great Chen Dynasty would be the eldest Prince Wong Yin just as the sucession edict was completed a cacophony erupted from outside accompanied by Sounds of battle who dares to disturb the peace where are the dragon guards Elder High bellowed however the response was not from the dragon guards but from the fourth Prince Wong Hong prime minister suenan and their loyal subordinates each armed with weapons still dripping with blood indicating they had just committed murder fourth Prince prime minister sue his majesty is resting what is the meaning of entering with weapons Elder High admonished loudly what other meaning could there be with Father Gravely injured and unable to manage state affairs I have come to assist him so he may recuperate Wong Hong declared brandishing his sword you intend to Stage a coup Elder High did not waver positioning himself resolutely in front of the fourth Prince Wong Hong unfilial son how dare you the ailing Emperor Wong xan hearing these words was incensed struggling to rise from his bed his disheveled hair and pale face Twisted with Fury it was evident that Wong hongk words had struck a nerve Wong Hong meeting the emperor's fiery gaze trembled slightly even in his dying State the emperor's Authority was palpable fear not he is but a dying man the Prime Minister reassured w Wong Hong patting him on the shoulder to calm his nerves only then did Wong Hong muster the courage to step forward fourth Prince what are your intentions where are the dragon guards Elder High shouted once more the dragon guards have been dealt with and now you shall meet your end suenan Unleashed his spiritual energy striking Elder High with a powerful blow although Elder High was also a master of the first tier he was slightly inferior to sujan xiaoai flee take the succession edict with you wangan managed to hurl an object toward him with a loud explosion the room filled with white smoke obscuring everyone's Vision When the Smoke dissipated Elder High had vanished this is bad Elder High is gone Wong hongk heart raced if word of the coup spread he would be vilified and his fate would be dire someone pursue him he must be found alive or dead Su Janan commanded grimly Elder High must be captured from the emperor's tone it seemed he had taken the succession edict and this could not be allowed to happen lest a great Calamity ensue upon receiving the order two loyal guards swiftly exited to hunt him down with elder hagon only the ailing Emperor Wong xan remained in the room father to whom did you pass the throne Wong Hong approached Wong xan with a twisted expression it certainly will not be to you my ungrateful son Wong Jean replied with a bitter smile assured that the succession edict had been successfully dispatched why why not me after years of serving you like a dog you bestow the throne upon another what makes my brother Superior to me Wong Hong now frenzied his eyes blazing with Fury could not fathom the emperor's decision to pass the throne to someone else your majesty if you wish to survive swiftly pass the throne to the fourth Prince Su Janan interjected eager to expedite matters time was of the essence with Elder High now fled they risked losing their chance if he alerted the Imperial guards I would rather die than pass the throne to you you ungrateful wretch Wong xan rored Ed suddenly overwhelmed by a surge of blood spewing a mouthful toward Wong Hong who was drenched in the emperor's blood this act ignited Wong hongk Fury father you have forced my hand in a fit of Madness Wong Hong struck down his father Emperor Wong Jean leaving a pool of blood beneath them upon witnessing his father's lifeless body a flicker of fear and panic crossed Wong hongk face prime minister I I have killed the emperor what am I to do now Wong Hong panicked having acted in a blind rage but now in the cold light of day he realized the gravity of his actions regicide punishable by annihilation of his entire Clan Dio not panic the Jade seal lies on the bed the succession edict can be finalized immediately sujan nunk eyes fell upon the Imperial Jade seal and a plan formed in his mind Wong Hong upon hearing this finally noticed the Imperial seal resting upon the bed and the ambition within his heart began to flourish uncontrollably having already committed reges side what was there to fear about fabricating an edict very well at once summon someone to draft the decree I shall Ascend to the throne Wong hongk gaze shifted from Panic to a frenzied excitement the mere thought of soon being crowned Emperor filled him with exhilaration though he remained somewhat rational Minister Sue how shall we present the news of the late Emperor's demise to the outside world shall we claim he succumb to illness in Wong hongk mind attributing the death to prolonged illness was the most fitting excuse as the emperor ill health had been common knowledge for some time however Minister Sue The Crafty old Fox had other ideas isn't the eighth Prince supposed to have fled to tyan Longman after being injured we shall Proclaim that the eighth Prince committed regicide and attempted to usurp the throne but failed and fled to tyan Longman sujjanon suggested with a Sinister expression Wong hongk eyes brightened upon hearing this truly he was deserving of the title old Fox excellent let us proceed with this plan Wong hongk Spirit soared not only could he the eighth Prince for treason but he would simultaneously claim the throne for himself a veritable two birds with one stone after spending a day in night in the secret chamber cultivating Wong tion and yunio finally emerged brother tion when will you come to find me next yunio gazed at Wong tion with eyes full of longing I shall visit in a few days I must train fervently in the meantime Wong tion looked up at the full moon in the sky realizing it was once again a night of the full moon the perfect opportunity to visit the black melum for treasure hunting very well I shall wait for you at home yuno replied her face etched with reluctance < be good I must take my leave now wongon leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on yuno's cherry red lips before pulling out the moon Fox Pearl Vanishing into the night yunio stood there entranced reflecting on the wild day and night they just experienced her cheeks flushing uncontrollably Upon returning to the Royal melum wongon quickly made his way towards the black melum tonight was the full moon and he could not afford to miss the chance to acquire extraordinary Treasures yet after taking only a few steps the old sage appeared before him old sage have you come specifically to seek me Wong tion inquired curiosity etched upon his face as the old sage rarely sought him without cause a grave matter has arisen within the palace the old sage replied his expression grave this was the first time Wong tion had seen him so serious prompting him to ask what calamity has befallen in the palace the emperor has passed away the old sage stated solemnly what my father has passed wongon froze momentarily though his father had often been cold towards him he was still his father and the News elicited a tinge of Sorrow within him it was not due to illness he was slain by the eighth Prince the old sage dropped a bombshell impossible the eighth Prince would never commit regicide he is a prince the one closest to the throne among all the princes it is far more likely that the one capable of such treachery is the fourth Prince Wong Hong Wong tion was all too familiar with Wong Hong and suenan these two were conniving and ruthless capable of any atrocity I share your sentiment however the fourth Prince and Su Janan have already taken the initiative Spreading the News of the eighth Prince's failed attempt at usurpation the old sage concurred with Wong tion's assessment. seems the fourth Prince is eager to claim the throne a glimmer of light flickered in Wong tion's eyes your highness should I stir the Waters to create chaos to secure an opportunity for you the old sage suddenly proposed although the old sage harbored little hope for Wong Ton's Ascension he did not dismiss the possibility should the other princes engage in internal strife the sixth Prince might seize the moment to rise to power much like the adage of the clam and the snipe one benefits from the conflict of the other that aligns perfectly with my intentions the fourth Prince's aspirations for a smooth succession to the throne are utterly unrealistic I shall rely on you for this endeavor for the time being I will seclude myself within the Royal melum unless it is of utmost importance do not seek me out Wong tion stated with a serious demeanor very well with the emperor's passing it is time for me to emerge a glimmer of determination Shone in the old Sage's eyes for he had once promised to guard the Royal melum for the late Emperor Wong Jean now that the emperor had passed the old sage could finally step into the light with his emergence the Waters of the capital would undoubtedly be stirred after bidding farewell to the old sage Wong tion hastened towards the depths of the royal melum his foremost task being to acquire the extraordinary female corpse that had perished a millennium ago chapter 113 the fourth encounter with the extraordinary female corpse beneath the night sky aluminous full moon hung High Wong tion felt once more the call of the black melum quickening his Pace towards its depths in but a few breaths he arrived once again at the entrance of the black melum as he approached the grand doors slowly creeped open seemingly welcoming him just in time without hesitation Wong tion stepped inside the interior of the black melum remained frigid an intense cold saturating the air yet having attained the Pinnacle of the second realm wongon could withstand such chill with ease this time I should be able to get closer channeling the golden dragon energy coursing through him Wong tion took deliberate steps towards the Exquisite female corpse lying upon the ice cold Beed as he drew near he scrutinized the breath taking corpse once more she was as stunning as ever her Visage and figure mirroring those of yunio causing Wang tion to momentarily believe it was yuno herself lying there so similar to shiao Chio her face her figure her arms her legs her feet Wong tion meticulously examined every inch until his gaze landed upon the translucent jade-like feet of the Millennium old corpse there on her pristine heel was a small red Cinnabar birthmark no larger than a grain of corn yet discernible upon closer inspection that birth mark on her heel seems to match shiao why is that Wang tion's curiosity deepened when he had practiced dual cultivation with yunio he had noticed a similar birthmark on her heel this corpse appeared to be a perfect replica of yunio even down to the birth mark how could there be such an identical person in the world even identical twins could not be so alike should I invite shiao next time during the full moon wongon mused contemplating that bringing yunio along might unravel this mystery but first let us reap the rewards he took another careful glance at the Exquisite female corpse now that he had reached the second realm he could withstand the extreme cold of the ice bed for a longer duration let us have a casual touch Wong tion reached out to graze the delicate ly white arm of the corpse the moment his fingers made contact the systems voice echoed in response ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have received the Rainbow Magic feather the rain magic feather a name that promised another extraordinary treasure Wong tion's heart swword he had already extracted four unparalleled Treasures from this Exquisite female corpse each surpassing Heavenly grade I'll check the Rainbow Magic feather later not wishing to rush he decided to seize the opportunity while he was still within the melum aiming for another touch forcing the intense cold energy from his body Wong tion activated his dragon energy and reached out once more towards the Exquisite female corpse on the ice bed meanwhile yunio lay peacefully in her chamber deep in Slumber on this full moon night she experienced another episode in her dreams she found herself engulfed in darkness unable to perceive anything and it felt exceedingly cold as though she were trapped in a bottomless ice Cellar she had grown accustomed to such an environment The Familiar sound of footsteps echoed once more and this time she listened intently for the footsteps bore an uncanny resemblance to those of her elder brother tion why do these footsteps sound so much like brother tion's in Her Dream yunio found herself unafraid of the approaching footsteps instead listening intently soon the footsteps Drew nearer halting beside her D in the next moment she felt a gentle touch upon her left arm which sparked her irritation how dare you coming to touch me again however instead of waking in Anger she chose to observe what the shadow in the darkness would do next unbeknownst to her wongon in the black melum was filled with excitement after touching the corpse this time he had not been expelled by the mysterious energy granting him a second opportunity to explore s Wong tion's hand brushed against the Exquisite female Corpse's face the systems voice resonated once more ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have received the demon Heaven dabell the demon Heaven dabell appeared to be yet another unparalleled treasure yet all these Treasures bore the character for demon could it be that this Exquisite female corpse had once belonged to the demon race for the first time wongon sensed something am Miss judging by the pattern of rewards issued by the system these were intrinsically linked to the strength of the corpse in life if the corpse had been of celestial caliber the items obtained would certainly pertain to cultivation conversely if the corpse belonged to the demon race then the treasures would be similarly aligned from The Sword of extermination the Heavenly demon zither the Millennium demon Pearl to today s Rainbow Magic feather and Demon Heaven dabell all five were connected to the demon could it be that this exqu it female corpse had indeed been a member of the demon race Wong tion pondered the implications How could a demon race female corpse be found within the Royal melum of the duchan dynasty he simply could not fathom the connection just as he was lost in thought the grand doors of the black melum suddenly swung open and a wave of mysterious energy expelled him from within Wong tion had grown accustomed to this process flipping midair he landed gracefully on his feet inscathed and unsoiled by a single Speck of dust once again in he was forcefully expelled and it seemed that there would be no opportunity for him to touch anything he had already made five attempts on this ancient female corpse leaving wongon to ponder just how formidable her strength must have been in life unable to Fathom it he resolved to return and study the two extraordinary Treasures he had acquired with a sense of satisfaction Wong tion retreated to his humble abode for further examination meanwhile yunio had awakened at that very moment how infuriating she thought to have been touched yet again and this time it had happened twice clenching her delicate fists her anger intensified with each thought although it had occurred in a dream being touched consecutively was something she could hardly tolerate after simmering in frustration for a while yunio gradually calmed herself and began to reflect seriously on the footsteps she had heard in the dream If the previous occurrence could be attributed to a stress response then this time it was unequivocally different the sixth Prince was tiang go and her psychological scars had been completely healed there should be no reason for her to experience such a reaction again why then did the footsteps reappear in her dreams tonight furrowing her brows yuno pondered intently moreover the sound of the footsteps bore a striking resemblance to tiang e could it be that her fondness for him was causing her to perceive those footsteps as his after a prolonged period of contemplation in her bed she could not arrive at a satisfactory conclusion and sleep eluded her thus she resolved to rise and engage in her cultivation practice Upon returning to his modest dwelling Wong tion quickly closed the door behind him and instructed his little servant to stand guard outside preventing anyone from approaching he was about to delve into the study of the two magical artifacts and he certainly did not wish to be discovered as that would spell trouble for him sitting cross-legged on the bed Wong tion retrieved the seven colored demon feather and the demon Heaven dabell from the system space the seven colored demon feather was a pair of wings adorned in seven Hues looking quite beautiful if not for its name one would hardly associate it with demon feathers instead likely deeming them as Divine feathers the beauty of the seven colored demon feather was striking and it exuded no demonic energy suggesting it might not qualify as a magical artifact Wong tion frowned attempting to refine it with his dragon energy only to find that he could not upon contact his dragon energy was completely absorbed by the seven colored demon feather how could he refine it under those circumstances with his dragon energy consumed he was at a loss suddenly he felt that the seven-colored demon feather was rather useless perhaps he should let shiao Chio give it a try she bore such a strong resemblance to the stunning female corpse perhaps she could refine the seven-colored demon feather Wong tion had always felt that yunio had a connection with that ancient female corpse and if the seven-colored demon feather found its way into her hands there was indeed a possibility she could refine it after storing the seven colored demon feather back in the system space Wang tion's attention shifted to the demon heaven dabell this was a black Copper Bell palm-sized covered in an array of intricate and obscure runes none of which Wong tion could decipher how was he to utilize this he infused it with his dragon energy yet it remained unresponsive could it be yet another worthless treasure frustrated Wong tion converted his dragon energy into spiritual energy and directed it into the demon heaven dabell but still there was no reaction it was truly maddening he had acquired two extraordinary Treasures yet none were of any use with a sigh he thought again of yunio perhaps she could help him with the demon Heaven dabell he wondered if she could activate it wongon felt a bit like a porter extracting one extraordinary treasure after another from the stunning female corpse and then passing them on to yunio however she was his wife and what belonged to her also belonged to him as she grew stronger his own cultivation speed would undoubtedly accelerate through the Hang D ning with this thought Wong tion felt somewhat reassured after securing the two extraordinary Treasures in the system space he produced four dragon orbs these four dragon orbs had been obtained from the coffin of the empress and now that his strength had reached the Pinnacle of the second rank he needed these orbs to rapidly break through to the first rank the possibility of advancing to the first rank rested entirely upon these four dragon orbs wongon placed the four dragon orbs against his chest and began absorbing the dragon energy contained within them as the pure dragon energy flowed into his body wongon felt a Resurgence of Vitality particularly in his Danon where the Dragon Spirit thrived with joy at the influx of such pure and potent dragon energy while Wong tion was immersed in his cultivation the fourth Prince Wong Hong Was preparing for his Ascension to the throne however before doing so he faced a pressing concern Minister Su who do you suppose is named in the succession edict taken by unikai Wong Hong inquired with curiosity only by knowing who it was designated for could he strategize his counter measures from my understanding of the late Emperor he would likely appoint the first prince Wong Yen replied Su Janan furrowing his brow in contemplation eldest brother why not the eth Wong Hong asked perplexed as the eighth Prince was the only Royal among the nine princes though the eighth Prince possesses remarkable Talent he is still young and he lacks supporters in both the court and Military even if the throne were passed to him the late Emperor would know that the eighth Prince could not maintain his position suenan analyzed for the eldest Prince he is the firstborn albeit a son of a concubine nevertheless He commands great respect in the military and has attained the first Rank and the northern Leong King is also quite submissive to him the late Emperor who was always inclined toward stability would certainly favor him for the throne after careful consideration fourth Prince Wong Hong realized the truth in sujan nunk words appointing the eldest Prince was indeed the only way to ensure the stability of the deian dynasty however he did not wish to merely be a marquee he aspired to be the emperor Minister Sue do you think unich high will seek out eldest brother at Shan haagan Wong Hong asked a hint of worry in his eyes facing eldest brother headon he felt he had no chance of winning after all eldest brother and third brother commanded a combined force of 800,000 Elite troops while he had merely 20,000 feathered Forest troops along with lho mountain the aray sect and a few sects from the jangu the civil officials in the court were of little use and collectively these forces were insufficient against 800,000 soldiers it is unlikely at this moment yunich High has probably already arrived at Shan hauan replied suenan with an expression of calm as if he had already devised a plan Minister Sue what shall we do I am about to ascend the throne am I to relinquish the position that is within my grasp Wong Hong expressed his unwillingness eliminating the first prince is hardly a challenge Su Janan said with confidence you already have a strategy Minister Sue Wong Hong's eyes brightened he was certain that a line with Su Janan would assist him in his rise to power a single maneuver to eliminate him will suffice Su Janan remarked cryptically o Minister Sue could you elaborate Wong hongk interest was peaked the first prince is stationed at Shan haagan with 500,000 troops while the third Prince is at shangra pass with 300,000 these two brothers keep watch over each other and even if the daa kingdom were to deploy a million troops they might not be able to breach their defenses Su Janan explained with a Sinister expression however if the army of Da could secretly infiltrate longan and mount a rear attack on them woodn't those two brothers find themselves in Dire Straits upon hearing this Wong hongk heart sank this plan would effectively sell eldest brother third brother and their 800,000 soldiers to the de Kingdom the magnitude of this scheme was staggering Minister Sue might this not be too risky if the daa kingdom were to breach these two formidable passes and then Advance South Would we not find ourselves in danger as well Wong Hong not entirely foolish recognized the substantial risks involved Beyond these two passes lies the northern Leong what danger do we face moreover the court commands 600,000 Dragon might troops How could a m du Kingdom threaten the capital Su Janan dismissed the notion of danger from da Minister Sue is correct air D Kingdom is not worthy to contend with ourian Dynasty it serves merely as a tool for our strategy Wong hongk gaze steadily grew Resolute then it is settled Minister Sue I UST this matter to you Wong Hong swiftly made his decision to become emperor he was willing to sacri rice 800,000 troops your highness you should prepare for your Ascension in half a month Su Janan stated with unwavering confidence the conspiratorial minations of suenan and Wong Hong began to gradually plunge the deian dynasty Into Darkness meanwhile Wong tion remained oblivious to the Affairs of the outside world wholly absorbed in his cultivation after a day and night of rigorous training he had fully absorbed the four dragon orbs successfully breaking through to the first Rank and the Dragon Spirit in his Danon had grown to a remarkable 20 M the moment he opened his eyes a flash of golden light emanated from them sharp and captivating he had finally ascended to the first rank which granted him the opportunity to enter the melum of the first emperor Wong tion's eyes gleamed with anticipation chapter 114 the melum of the war Emperor having Advanced to the first rank wongon was indeed eligible to enter the melum of the first emperor however the old sage had advised that to gain entry smoothly he must first attain the recognition of the first Emperor's Dragon Spirit thus to be prudent wongon refrained from recklessly approaching the melum of the first emperor and instead directed his steps towards the melum of the war Emperor once his strength increased further he would venture to the melum of the first emperor ensuring that he could secure the acknowledgement of his ancestor in one Fell Swoop the war Emperor Wong Chin was the third emperor of the deian Dynasty and his prowess was only slightly inferior to that of the first emperor in the annals of deian History attesting to his formidable strength after conquering vast territories the first emperor had passed away mysteriously within a decade with the absence of the first Emperor's formidable deterrent numerous regions within the dean Dynasty began to Rebel the second Emperor had ascended the throne under false pretenses and was lacking in capability rendering him unable to quell the insurrections this Rebellion persisted for over a decade nearly fracturing the deian dynasty fortunately the second Emperor fathered a remarkable son wongin who would later become the war Emperor he was well-versed in both literary and martial Pursuits and upon his Ascension he swiftly quelled the revolts across the deian dynasty within a mere decade even subjugating the northern Leong for the first time incorporating it into the realm of the deian dynasty a feat of monumental significance however it was the Imperial clan that initiated the slaughter of dragons I in his pursuit of attaining the celestial realm Emperor Wong Chin ruthlessly exterminated numerous members of the Dragon lineage to absorb their potent dragon energy ultimately the dragon Clan could no longer endure setting a trap known as the Dragon Gate array which led to his demise thus began the bitter enmity between the Imperial Clan and the dragons culminating in the latter being driven to flee across the seas Emperor your unworthy descendants have come to pay their respects Wong tion declared as he arrived before the grand Tomb of the emperor bowing deeply in reverence despite having perished for Millennia the melum emanated a formidable or of Oppression fortunately Wong tion had achieved the first grade realm allowing him to withstand the overwhelming Imperial pressure with relative ease after paying his respects he stepped into the emperor's melum where an immense surge of dragon energy erupted attempting to force him out however Wong tion was prepared he summoned his own first grade golden dragon energy and boldly pressed forward upon entering the melum Wong tion's gaze was immediately captivated by the sights within the courtyard the ground was strewn with dragon bones countless remains lying in Repose easily numbering in the hundreds alongside the bones remnant of dragon might and Spirits drifted through the air transforming the place into a veritable Dragon Seiler rather than an Imperial Tomb how many dragons must have perished to yield such a multitude of Bones Wong tion gasped recalling the historical accounts detailing the aftermath of The Emperor's demise following the Ambush laid by the dragons the Imperial Clan was incensed and dispatched a great Army to decimate half of the Dragon lineage these bones likely belonged to those dragons slain in that Onslaught although these dragons had been dead for nearly 10,000 years lingering fragments of their souls remained clinging to the bones absorbing them could significantly enhance my power he mused with that thought he settled into a meditative position seeking to absorb the residual dragon souls however this audacious act enraged the lingering Spirits the air filled with the resounding Roars of dragons and an array of restless dragon souls surged into the sky encircling him within the Dragon Gate array the overwhelming might of the Dragon Spirits bore down on wongon rendering him unable to stand upright his blood churning within him as if on the verge of eruption such formidable Dragon might wongon gritted his teeth striving to counterbalance the Supreme pressure with his golden dragon energy yet the force he faced was composed of hundreds of fractured dragon souls far too powerful for him to withstand he felt himself being pushed lower blood seeping from his orifices a sign of the absolute oppression he was enduring if this continued he would surely perish damn it I have no choice but to summon the dragon soul unwilling to succumb to death here he called forth the golden dragon soul from his Danon in an instant a Colossal dragon soul measuring 20 m in length soared into the air dispersing much of the overwhelming pressure Wong tion was momentarily relieved but that relief was fleeting in although the golden dragon soul was powerful it was still insufficient to break through the Supreme Dragon might refusing to await his demise he retrieved the celestial grade treasure the phoenix feather fan from his system space and directed it towards the dragon souls above each movement of the fan conjured Fierce gusts of wind accompanied by the resounding cries of phoenixes the winds transformed into enormous Crimson phoenixes that soared towards the dragon souls in the sky under the Dual influence of the golden dragon soul and the Phoenix feather fan the fractured dragon souls were finally vanquished and the Dragon Gate array was shattered causing the immense Dragon might to dissipate into nothingness At Last I have triumphed over you Wong tion gasped the suffocating encounter leaving him breathless as he regained his composure his golden dragon soul began to absorb the remnants of the vanquished dragon souls these were authentic dragon souls requiring no refinement they could be consumed directly although they were mere remnants their sheer number promised a significant enhancement Wong tion noted the absorption of the dragon souls but refrained from intervening as these Souls would greatly benefit him with each passing moment his golden dragon soul swelled visibly growing by a meter within just one hour however this was merely the beginning for the courtyard was teaming with dragon souls over a 100 in total there was no rush he continued to recover his dragon energy while allowing the golden dragon soul to Feast it took a full day for the golden dragon soul to completely absorb all the fractured dragon souls within the melum Courtyard by then it had grown to an impressive 28 m in length a truly magnificent sight the golden dragon soul soared through the air like a majestic golden dragon of the Dragon Clan exuding an a inspiring presence that commanded reverence from all feeling an immense sense of Pride wongon gazed up at the celestial golden dragon soul knowing it was his even if he were to meet an untimely end his soul could merge with the dragon soul transforming him into a magnificent Golden Dragon with the absorption of the Dragon Souls complete it was now time to explore the melum he recalled the golden dragon soul to his Danon and proceeded towards the grand entrance of The Emperor's tomb Having learned from the previous experiences with the empress Wong tion summoned the extermination sword in advance too his surprise the entrance bore no energy restrictions allowing him to push the door open with ease however the sight that greeted him within was even more staggering than the courtyard filled with Dr bones chapter 115 did the emperor rise from the grave as Wong tion pushed open the grand doors of the mosum he felt as if struck by lightning rendered speechless by the breathtaking scene before him the interior of the hall was a self-contained realm vast as 100 football fields. n colossal dragons sculpted from Jade were arranged in a circular formation their heads facing Inward and tailes outward collectively supporting an obsidian red coffin the sight evoked the awe of Nine Dragons lifting a coffin surrounding this Arrangement was a 10 m wide Lake of crimson Blood also circular enveloping The Nine Dragons and the coffin at its Center though the Blood Lake appeared tranquil it was imbued with an ominous and bloodthirsty Aura with the lake as a guardian and The Nine Dragons as bearers approaching the emperor would prove to be no small feet furrowing his brow Wong tion stealed himself knowing that he would not Retreat now that he had arrived with determination he stepped inside as he crossed the threshold the door slammed shut with a resounding bang seemingly sealing off the last vestages of sunlight yet rather than Darkness enveloping the hall an eerie Crimson glow illuminated the space emanating from the coffin of the emperor this radiant glow cast a surreal Ambience throughout the melum ey in addition to the blood red light multicolored specks cascaded from above like Celestial Flowers creating a mesmerizing Tapestry on the ground Wong tion followed the direction of the Luminous points only to be astounded to discover that the SE feeling was adorned with an array of dragon orbs fire dragon orbs ice dragon orbs Golden Dragon orbs Azure Dragon orbs of plethora of dragon orbs far too numerous to count my Heavens there are so many Dragon orbs here if I could collect them all I would achieve the completion of the first grade realm in no time Wong tion's heart raced with excitement for he had never encountered such a bounty of dragon orbs before a quick estimation revealed that there were at least a 100 despite his overwhelming desire Wong tion refrained from rashly attempting to seize the dragon orbs opting instead to observe his surroundings carefully the orbs floated in the air suggesting that some mysterious energy sustained them upon scrutinizing the area he detected no anomalies for safety sake he decided to let the dragon soul retrieve the dragon orbs with that thought he summoned the golden dragon soul from his Danon and guided it towards the nearest Dragon orb should any unexpected occurrences arise he could swiftly call the dragon soul back maintaining a clear view from the ground however just as the golden dragon soul was about to make contact with the orb it suddenly emitted a brilliant Azure light akin to the Dawn breaking in the next moment a colossal Azure dragon soul burst forth from the orb akin to a butterfly emerging from its crysalis with a thunderous Roar the Azure dragon soul reverberated through the air as if seeking to Ren the very heavens I in an instant the more than 100 Dragon orbs awakened releasing an array of dragon souls some resembled burning flames fire dragon souls others were as frigid as Frost ice dragon souls some danced like gentle breezes wind dragon souls and even Dragon King Souls radiating golden Brilliance emerged the mighty Roar of the Dragons resonated like The Awakening Thunder of spring rousing all from Slumber as one dragon soul after another awakened Wong tion's heart surged with a tumultuous tide of emotions what was happening over a 100 dragon souls had all been awakened his heart raced wildly being merely at the first grade realm how could he possibly contend with such a multitude of dragon souls W ton sought to evade their wrath but the doors of the melum were firmly shut leaving him with no opportunity to escape with no other option he resolved to fight with all his might gritting his teeth Wong tion swiftly retrieved the phoenix feather fan from his system space the moment he summoned it over a 100 dragon souls lunged at the golden dragon soul like famished beasts the Golden Dragon Soul found itself outnumbered quickly falling into a disadvantageous position and sustaining considerable damage Wong tion refrained from immediately recalling the golden dragon soul instead he aimed to draw all the dragon souls towards it intending to use the phoenix feather fan to obliterate them in one Fell Swoop now is the time Wong tion observed over a 100 Colossal dragon souls besieging his golden dragon soul and immediately summoned his Golden Dragon Aura exerting all his strength to fervently wave the phoenix feather fan in his grasp with each vigorous sweep of the fan the fierce winds seemed to transform into numerous golden phoenixes accompanied by piercing cries soaring towards the dragon souls like arrows released from ey in the blink of an eye the golden Phoenix's became entangled with the 100 plus dragon souls Wong tion desperately consumed his Dragon Aura however the phoenix feather fan could only barely hold its ground against these dragon souls unable to annihilate them if this stalemate continued he would surely be exhausted aware of his precarious situation Wong tion swiftly summoned all his swords from the system space the dragon souls Drew energy from Dragon orbs and shattering these orbs would cause the dragon souls to vanish although destroying the dragon orbs would significantly impair their function wangon had no choice otherwise he would meet his demise here with this thought he immediately unleashed the technique of 10,000 swords returning to the sect eye in an instant more than 10 swords formed a formidable sword array shooting towards the the dragon orbs suspended in the air sword energy poured down like a torrential rain as the dragon souls were ens snared by the golden dragon soul and the Phoenix is conjured by the phoenix feather fan rendering them powerless against the onslaught of the sword energy I in mere moments several Dragon orbs were pierced by the swords s the dragon orbs were shattered the corresponding dragon souls dissipated with a resounding Echo alleviating Wong tion's burden significantly excellent this strategy of targeting the dragon orbs is proving effective however I cannot help but feel a Pang of regret for destroying so many Wong tion had no time to dwell on his regret as he continued directing the swords to attack the remaining Dragon orbs wherever the sword array passed not a single Dragon orb could withstand its Brilliance soon one after another the dragon orbs were obliterated by Wong tion's 10,000 swords returning to the sect causing the dragon souls to vanish in succession after an hour every Dragon orb in the sky had been destroyed and over a 100 dragon souls had completely disappeared finally it was settled Wong tion collapsed onto the ground Breathing heavily having exhausted all his Dragon Aura in that last effort if he pushed any further he would be the one to lose such a waste of dragon orbs yet the fragments could still be collected to absorb a considerable amount of dragon Aura Wong tion gazed at the scattered Dragon orb fragments and with a wave of his hand they all flew before him absorb wongon first summoned his golden dragon soul back to his Danon then arranged the more than 10 swords around his body forming a sword array once ensuring his safety he settled into a cross-legged position and began to absorb the residual Dragon Aura from the fragments of the Dragon orbs the dragon Aura Within These orbs was exceptionally pure allowing wongon to absorb it directly without refinement as he absorbed countless Dragon auras surged into his body the influx of dragon Aura swiftly revitalized his fatigued form and upon reaching the Danton even his severely injured golden dragon soul was instantly rejuvenated I in just a few breaths Wong tion's condition was restored to perfection even surpassing his previous state The Continuous influx of dragon Aura rapidly enhanced Wong tion strength he felt like a sponge greedily absorbing every last drop of residual Dragon Aura until nothing remained time seemed to slip away and eventually all the dragon Aura from the fragments was completely absorbed propelling his strength to the late stage of the first rank merely a step away from completion ah indeed the dragon orbs are superior supplements enabling me to ascend two minor levels as Wong ton opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air an unprecedented sense of comfort enveloped his entire being though it was merely two minor levels it must be noted that advancing even one level in the first rank is exceedingly challenging many individuals may spend their entire lives trapped in a single realm yet Wang tion accomplished this in a remarkably short time showcasing the Dragon orbs as exceptional materials for cultivation regrettably they were only fragments had they been whole he would surely have achieved the grand completion of the first rank Wong tion felt a twinge of dissatisfaction but soon redirected his Focus to the coffin of the Marshall Emperor to him the numerous Dragon orbs were merely an appetizer the true Feast awaited within the Marshall Emperor's coffin The Blood Lake was a barrier he must Traverse Wong tion dared not tread through the water should a monster suddenly emerge from the Blood Lake it would spell trouble with this in mind he utilized his Aura to ascend into the air swiftly flying towards the coffins situated at the center of the melum while more than 10 swords circled around him as a precaution the distance from the edge of the blood Lake to the central coffin was no more than 100 meters however despite flying for an extended period Wong tion felt as though he remained far from the Marshall Emperor's coffin after flying for what felt like an eternity he sensed something was a miss something is wrong why do I feel as if I am flying in place Wong tion glanced downward in horror discovering to his astonishment that he was suspended above the Blood Lake neither advancing nor retreating this Blood Lake is peculiar resembling a barrier that prevents me from approaching the Marshal Emperor's coffin after some contemplation wongon commanded the juen sword to attempt to strike against the Blood Lake beneath him the xen sword plummeted like a meteor crashing into the blood Lake creating a massive splash of crimson liquid only to fall silent afterward The Blood Lake returned to Stillness as if the juen sword had been devoured by the lake leaving it irretrievable how could this be it seems the juen sword was swallowed by The Blood Lake Wong tion was greatly alarmed he had never encountered such a situation before as he pondered how to summon back the juian sword a towering wave of blood surged from the lake crashing towards him with ferocity fortunately Wong tion was alert dodging just in time however the wave followed him relentlessly pursuing wherever he fled this Blood was exceptionally Eerie proving impossible to shake off Wong tion's heart raced if even the juian sword was consumed it indicated that 10,000 swords returning to the sect would be ineffective against this Blood what about the dragon soul Wong tion dared not recklessly use his dragon soul against this blood if it were to be swallowed as well he would suffer severe repercussions after all the dragon soul was his life Essence and its loss would have dire consequences how can I Traverse this Blood Lake wongon continued to evade the onslaught of the blood waves while attempting to strike at them with the phoenix feather fan yet to his disappointment the winds transformed into golden phoenixes were similarly devoured by the waves this is disastrous sword dragon soul Phoenix Feather fan none of them are effective Wong tion's expression grew increasingly grave if he could not break this impass he would likely be consumed by the waves die in this critical moment w on recall the konon mirror the mirror not only replicates humans but can also duplicate all things.it is my only hope now I must use it to replicate The Blood Lake returning their attack in kind Wong tion felt uncertain yet he had no choice but to attempt at point one must seize the opportunity when it arises retrieving the loon mirror from the system space wongon aimed it directly at the approaching wave of blood a flash of light erupted as a torrential wave of blood surged forth from the konon mirror racing towards the on coming wave the two waves collided midair splattering countless drops of vivid Crimson liquid Wong tion quickly retreated fearing the possibility of being splashed by this blood that could Devour the juian sword he dared not risk contact the two waves continued to consume each other neither gaining the upper hand until both descended into the blood Lake I in the next moment the entire Blood Lake began to boil sending ripples across its surface meanwhile Wong tion sensed the presence of the juian sword h it seems I can sense the juen sword Wong tion's heart sword with joy with a mere thought the juen sword swiftly emerged from The Blood Lake returning to his hand The Blood Lake continued to churn its ripples growing larger as if two equally matched energies were locked in a fierce struggle within neither able to overpower the other if I can sense the juian sword does that mean the energy of the blood lake has weakened a sudden Insight struck wangon and he once again attempted to soar towards the Marshall Emperor's coffin at the center of the melum this time he did not experience the sensation of being stuck in place but instead he effortlessly glided towards the center of the melum finally I made it through it seems the replicated blood has drained some energy from The Blood Lake nullifying its barrier Wong tion understood the reason behind this and silently rejoiced in possessing the Kon mirror otherwise he would never have made it through hovering above the central melum he gazed down at the scene below nine intricately carved J dragons appeared lifelike emitting a faint glow that imparted an eerie sensation besides the nine J dragons the coffin of the Marshall Emperor was also embellished with nine Dragon runes corresponding with the J dragons below indicating that accessing the Marshall Emperor's remains would not be an easy feat this must be the final hurdle if I can overcome it the coffin of the Marshall Emperor will be unlocked Wong tion took a deep breath drawing the juen sword closer to the Marshall Emperor's coffin as he approached the eyes of the N n j dragons suddenly glowed with a radiant light as if they had come to life wongon immediately sensed something was a Miss hastily halting his descent and ascending to a higher altitude once he returned to his previous position the eyes of the NJ dragons dimmed once more it seems proximity allows these J dragons to sense my presence Wong tion had discerned the boundaries of the Jay dragons yet to reach the Marshal Emperor's remains he would have to descend just as he found himself in a dilemma the lid of the Marshall emperor coffin began to shift on its own Wong tion thought he was imagining things and rubbed his eyes for clarity upon closer inspection he confirmed that the lid of the Marshall Emperor's coffin indeed moved slightly sending a shiver down his spine surely the Marshal Emperor cannot be rising from the dead chapter 116 transcending mortality to inter immortality wongon had never witnessed a coffin lid move by itself before gulp Wong tion swallowed hard sensing that if he were to borrow even more from his ancestors this time time he might Truly find himself in a precarious situation as time progressed the coffin lid continued to shift gradually soon revealing a gap the width of an arm Wong tion hovered in the air intently gazing at this crevice eager to discern What entity stirred within the coffin however the darkness inside rendered it impossible for him to see anything clearly what could possibly lie within that coffin could it truly be the resurrection of an ancestor instinctively Wong tion ascended a little higher fearful of being struck down by his forebears hand the coffin lid continued to part and when it had opened a quarter of the way a surge of earthy yellow energy suddenly erupted from within Wong tion instinctively flew back a distance and once he steadied himself he was astonished to realize that this burst of energy was actually the soul of a colossal yellow dragon measuring approximately 30 m in length its scales were distinctly visible and its whiskers danced gracefully its enormous eyes fixated on Wong tion sending a shiver down his spine young one you are the third person to enter my melum and the only one to reach this point what is your name the dragon soul suddenly spoke its voice laced with a hint of admiration upon hearing the dragon soul speak Wong tion immediately understood that this yellow dragon soul was his ancestor the Marshal Emperor I am wangon here to pay my respects to my ancestor he quickly replied bowing deeply for this was the Marshall emperor of the great Shen Dynasty a revered Sovereign deserving of utmost respect yet he was filled with curiosity how could the Marshall Emperor have condensed a dragon soul was it not said that throughout the entire history of the great Chen Dynasty only the first emperor had achieved such a feat what brings you to my melum the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul inquired again ancestor if I were to say that I have come to borrow cultivation resources would you believe me wongon dared not speak the truth instead opting for a more palatable excuse borrowing cultivation resour resources from me that sounds rather Charming but asking a dead man for such resources is akin to grave robbing the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul retorted with a scoff it is all our own property how can it be considered theft wongon boldly countered you certainly have a way with words indeed it is our own property and leaving it here to waste is far less beneficial than allowing you to put it to use the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul reflected then shifted the conversation I am willing to give you my resources but you must assist me in completing a task what task Wong tion's eyes brightened help me break the nine dragon formation beneath my coffin the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul declared with fervent intensity the nine dragon formation isn't that the array meant to protect your coffin why would you want me to dismantle it Wong tion asked perplexed it is not a protective array but rather a binding formation that ens snares my dragon soul the Marshall Emperor's words left wangon astounded were it not for the Marshall Emperor's own admission he would scarcely have believ that the n9j dragons were designed to imprison the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul to verify the truth Wong tion activated his array eye to examine the nine dragon formation upon doing so he indeed discerned the reality the NJ dragons while appearing to support the coffin where actually suppressing it.it became evident that the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul was genuinely trapped within Wong tion was deeply shocked this was the third emperor of the great Chen Dynasty a historically renowned Sovereign yet even one as formidable as he found his soul confined in this manner after death who could have wished to bind the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul wongon dared not delve deeper into such thoughts sensing that a bloody and cruel conspiracy lay beneath ancestor I may not possess the ability to break this nine dragon formation perhaps I should return when my strength has increased coming back to his senses Wong tion resolved to extract some benefit from his ancestor first moreover he lacked confidence in dismantling the nine dragon formation after his earlier inspection he discovered that the formation lacked a core meaning that to dismantle it he would need to confront each J Dragon one by one this posed a considerable challenge as it meant facing the assaults of NJ dragons simultaneously you are only at the first rank indeed it would be quite challenging for you to break the nine dragon formation the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul seemed well acquainted with the difficulties of the formation he did not wish to see wongon perish in vain especially since only three individ ual had visited his melum in the past 10,000 years the first two had perished in the Dragon Pearl and Blood Lake never even reaching his coffin now that someone had finally arrived beside him he was determined not to squander the opportunity I can assist you in breaking through to the human Immortal Realm the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul stated resolutely after a moment of contemplation you can help me reach the human Immortal Realm wongon Gast his mouth Agape transitioning from the first rank to the human Immortal Realm was an immense Chasm 199 out of 100 first rank experts would never manage to ascend to the human Immortal Realm in their lifetimes the remaining few could only achieve such a breakthrough through extraordinary fortune or sudden Enlightenment the fact that the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul would offer to help him breach this barrier was truly unprecedented of course we both cultivate Dragon shei belonging to the same lineage using a century of my dragon soul cultivation I can Aid your breakthrough but whether you succeed depends on your comprehension and talent the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was willing to expend A Century of his dragon soul cultivation to assist Wong tion in breaking through a considerable sacrifice upon hearing this Wong tion was elated with a centuy worth of dragon soul cultivation to Aid him he truly stood a chance at reaching the human Immortal Realm then I must thank you ancestor regardless of whether I ultimately break through to the human Immortal Realm I will exert every effort to dismantle the nine dragon formation Wong tion bowed sincerely recognizing the Monumental opportunity presented by A Century of dragon soul cultivation very well release your dragon soul the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul responded satisfied with Wong tion's commitment without hesitation Wong tion Unleashed his 28m long golden dragon soul as the massive golden dragon soul span the air the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul gazed in astonishment I ask this your dragon soul his tone quivered with disbelief clearly taken aback by the strength and golden hue of Wong tion's dragon soul a color typically reserved for Dragon Kings I as something am Miss Wong tion asked timidly you are merely at the first Rank and yet your dragon soul has grown to 28 m in length this is remarkable are you the Emperor of this generation the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul exclaimed in astonishment I regret to disappoint you but I am merely the weakest among this generation's princes M father deemed me useless and sent me to the Royal melum Wong tion replied candidly what with such talent you you are the weakest among the princes how has our Royal lineage grown so strong over the past 10,000 years the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul could scarcely fathom it ancestor let us hasten our cultivation I have limited time here should someone discover my presence it would spell disaster wongon urged urgently filled with anticipation for his impending breakthrough to the human Immortal Realm very well immerse your mind within your dragon soul I shall assist you in your cultivation at once the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul eyes sparkled with hope the stronger Wong tion's Talent the greater their chances of dismantling the nine dragon formation Wong tion complied closing his eyes and instantly plunging his Consciousness into the golden dragon soul seeing this the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul ceased to waste words and instead summoned his dragon soul power the entire dragon's body radiated an earthy yellow glow and a tremendous surge of energy surged into Wong tion's golden dragon soul as this pure dragon soul energy entered the golden dragon soul wongon felt as though his body might explode and his very Soul seemed poised to ascend to the heavens what an incredibly potent dragon soul energy this was Wong tion's first encounter with such formidable and pure dragon soul energy he was certain that if he could fully assimilate this wave of energy he would undoubtedly break through to the human Immortal Realm once the pure dragon soul energy entered the golden dragon soul it began to emit a dazzling Golden Light and the dragon's body visibly expanded at an astonishing Pace with a resounding Roar the golden dragon soul released a tremendous Dragon cry that reverberated through the skies before long the golden dragon soul had grown to 30 m in length its golden Radiance intensifying the rapid growth of the dragon soul also catalyzed a swift Evolution within Wong tion's physical form time seemed to dissolve as the golden dragon soul finally absorbed the entire Century's worth of dragon soul cultivation bestowed upon him by the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul I end that moment Wong tion's body expanded to a staggering 40 meters exuding an aura of Imperial dominance simultaneously Wong tion's physical form underwent a transformative change a brilliant Golden Light erupting from the crown of his head piercing through the roof of the melum and soaring toward the heavens chapter 117 entering the human Immortal Realm within the shanhai pass of the great Chen Dynasty's borders the first prince third prince and a host of loyal generals gathered in the military Council Hall their expressions grave I have summoned you all today to announce a matter of great importance the first prince Wong Yen clad in gleaming silver armor sat at the head of the table holding a decree in his hand his gaze Stern as he scanned each individual present elder brother feel free to command us the third Prince Wong ping was the first to step forward indeed your highness we shall follow you into the depths of fire and mountains the other loyal generals echoed expressing their unwavering loyalty Wong Yin was pleased with their responses you have all heard the news of our father's passing have you not Wong Yin stated with a steady gaze we have elder brother are you planning to travel to the capital to mourn wangping quickly replied indeed but this time I intend to take 30,000 troops to the capital for the morning Wong Yan's gaze swept across each person once more he understood the implications of his words and was eager to observe their reactions to take 30,000 troops to the capital could it be that elder brother intends to Wong ping did not finish his sentence yet every indiv idual present understood the weight of his implication your highness at your command we shall follow you in any Endeavor the other generals echoed in unison these are loyal followers who have stood guard at the border alongside the Crown Prince for over a decade they are undoubtedly his most trusted allies even if faced with mountains of blades and seas of fire should the Crown Prince give the order they would charge forward without hesitation de be candid father has already bequeathed the throne to me before his passing it is the fourth prince who has committed the treasonous Act of regicide why purpose is not to V for the throne but to eliminate the traitorous fourth Prince the crown Prince's voice was icy as he cast The Edict of succession into the hands of his third brother Wong ping upon seeing the edict Wong ping was taken AB he could hardly believe that the fourth Prince would dare to commit such an audacious act indeed everything the Crown Prince has said is true I stand as witness declared unich High stepping forward with a look of righteous indignation after Escaping The Palace he had disguised himself and journeyed to the Border fortunately his own prowess was considerable otherwise he could not have reached the Crown Prince and scathed with unich High's appearance doubts among the crowd dissipated he was the closest Confidant of the emperor and his presence here confirmed that the emperor had indeed met an untimely demise brother what are we waiting for if the fourth Prince ascends the throne it will be too late you need not worry about the capital I shall remain to guard shanhai Pass and shangra Pass wangping clared vehemently very well ensure the security of these two passes if the D Kingdom dares to invade you may take refuge within the walls the Crown Prince Wong Yin cautioned with concern rest assured shanhai Pass and shangra Pass are easy to defend yet difficult to assault even if the daa kingdom sends a million troops I will find a way to repel them Wong ping asserted confidently thumping his chest his assertion was not unfounded these two passes were indeed formidable fortifications and should wangping remain within the the enemy would find it n impossible to breach them all right I entrust these two passes to you the Crown Prince replied reassured by his third brother then turned his gaze to the assembled generals all generals heed my command we shall return to the capital at once and avenge our late Emperor the command was met with a resounding chorus of agreement that very noon the Crown Prince Wong Yin LED an army of 300,000 marching triumphantly towards the capital capturing cities and fortresses with Relentless fervor having spent years battling at the borders against the da Kingdom the Crown Prince possessed extensive combat experience how could mere City Defenders withstand his might soon the Lords of the cities along the Route surrendered at the mere rumor of his approach upon receiving this news in the capital the fourth Prince Wong Hong was filled with Dread while he had anticipated his brother would lead an Army against him he had not expected such overwhelming Force prime minister sue my brother has already reached yenching he will soon be at the capital how shall we respond Wong Hong forced himself to remain calm bolstered by the presence of suuna don't not panic I have already devised a strategy the Crown Prince will not reach the capital Su Janan replied with an air of composure what countermeasures do you have prime minister Wong Hong inquired anxiety evident in his demeanor with the Crown Prince bringing 300,000 troops the defenses at shanhai Pass and shangra Pass would surely be stretched thin should the forces of The Da Kingdom launch a direct assault Wong ping might hold the line but if they entered through long sha pass and attacked from both sides defeat would be inevitable suenan ever the strategist explained this tactic could indeed strip my brother of his advantages but what if he chooses not to return for Aid and remains Resolute in his assault Wong Hong voiced his concerns if the Crown Prince disregards the border and focuses solely on attacking the capital I cannot guarantee we will withstand his Onslaught he lamented fear not I have stationed a significant Force at yining and dispatched the seasoned General Gua with the Longway Army to sever his Retreat once he loses his supply lines the Crown Prince will surely falter Su Janan asserted confidently your foresight is commendable prime minister I am in awe of your sagacity Wong Hong said feeling his earlier Panic subside the cunning of the old Fox was indeed formidable while the Crown Prince besieged yining the da Kingdom launched an attack with 50,000 troops against shanhai Pass and shangra Pass under Wong Ping's command the defense is held firm yet unexpectedly the situation took a dire turn report third Prince a large force of enemy generals from the daa kingdom has appeared within the pass we were caught unawares and the gates have been breached a bloodied Soldier rushed in panic-stricken what the enemy has infiltrated from within Wong pingk countenance darkened disbelief etched across his face it must be the work of the fourth Prince he has surely conspired to allow them entry the vice Commander asserted this analysis garnered unanimous agreement from those present for the sake of the throne the fourth Prince would betray 50,000 loyal soldiers of the great Shen Dynasty men who had fought valiantly for the Empire Wong Ping's Fury reached its Zenith yet to vent his wrath he must first secure the pass for the great Shen we must hold this position wangping declared leading the charge against the encroaching enemy with the third Prince at the Forefront morale surged and the soldiers fought valiantly however beset from all sides they ultimately succumbed when a colossal axe severed Wong Ping's head the battle came to a tragic end shanhai Pass and shangra Pass fell into the hands of the de Kingdom the Burly man with a rugged beard wiped the blood from his axe and laughed maniacally the third Prince of the great chin is but a trifling matter the sinister-looking man resembling a sorcerer approached wielding a black crow feather fan exuding an ominous air he today we slay the third Prince tomorrow the Crown Prince and soon after we shall eliminate the emperor of the Great chin the Burly man brandished his axe with arrogance though not be complacent while we have taken these two passes the great Chin Dynasty profound Legacy endures a stunningly beautiful woman clad in fiery red armor gracefully descended before them upon her arrival both the Burly man and the Sorcerer bowed in respect your majesty the great Chin Dynasty having endured for Millennia is now like a gilded shell hiding Decay within this internal strife shall Herald their demise the sorcerer with the crow feather fan replied with a bow indeed yet we must not let our guard down the daa kingdom has bited its time for a thousand years awaiting this very moment the female Emperor Lum remarked her brow furrowed old ghost have you made contact with the forces of chi nanua pong Island Xiao Bango and fway I have established contact once we launch our fulls scale offense they will undoubtedly send troops to assist us the sorcerer Gia replied while lightly Fanning him self excellent after 10,000 years the time for the great Chien Dynasty s downfall has finally come the de Kingdom's female Emperor side before her form suddenly vanished Into Thin Air such instantaneous teleportation signifies a strength at least at the level of an immortal or even a terrestrial Immortal the greatest crisis for the great Chen Dynasty loomed yet none in the court seemed to take notice at that moment a golden light erupted from deep within the Imperial Tomb piercing the gloomy sky and creating a luminous Rift after a long while the Golden Light gradually dissipated Wong tion opened his eyes a beam of Golden Light shooting forth from them striking fear into the hearts of those who beheld it he had successfully broken through to The Immortal Realm the power of the dragon soul was indeed formidable Wong tion assessed his body feeling an unprecedented strength looking up he was astonished to find that his golden dragon soul had grown to 40 m surpassing even the dragon soul of the Marshall Emperor by 10 me meters in stark contrast to Wong tion soaring power the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul appeared feeble its earthy glow dimmed significantly yet admiration Shone in his gaze as he regarded Wong tion very good your talent and comprehension are comparable to that of the first emperor and at such a young age your future is boundless the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul offered rare praise thank you esteemed ancestor for the power of the dragon soul Wong tion bowed deeply in gratitude without the IAL Emperor Century of dragon soul power achieving a breakthrough to The Immortal Realm would have been a distant Prospect if you truly wish to express your gratitude help me dismantle the nine Dragon array below the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul spoke weakly no problem I shall keep my word Wong tion replied adjusting his breathing and focusing on the nine Dragon array beneath with his ancestors assistance he felt compelled to repay the favor and to reach the ancestors remains he must first dismantle the array determined one tion grasped the Excalibur and soared towards the array as he approached within a certain distance the eyes of the NJ dragons gleamed simultaneously unleashing an unprecedented Dragon might that nearly suffocated Wong tion rendering him a mobile die in the next Moment One J Dragon opened its mouth spewing forth a white energy orb unable to move under the dragon's pressure Wong tion seeing the energy orb rushing towards him Unleashed a nine Dragon Palm strike instantly nine powerful Golden Dragon energies roared forth shattering the energy orb with ease the J dragon's energy orb was nothing extraordinary easily shattered before Wong tion could Revel in his success eight more energy orbs surged towards him not only breaking through his nine Dragon Palm but also barreling directly toward him Wong tion tightened his grip on the Excalibur and immediately unleashed the sword array of Excalibur countless sword energies scattered like a rain of blades and the eight energy orbs were again Shattered by Wong tion yet before he could catch his breath a Jade Dragon suddenly surged upwards its claws bared and ready to strike the Magnificent Jade Dragon measures approximately 30 m in length its scales whiskers and Claws exquisitely carved to lifelike Perfection its entire body is as pristine as Jade radiating a dazzling white light with a thunderous Roar the Jade Dragon Unleashed a deafening dragon's cry followed by a gaping ma that lunged toward wongon Bound by the pressure of the nine Dragon array wongon found himself able to move with no opportunity to evade as the Colossal dragonk mouth engulfed him whole could this young man truly meet his demise in such a manner the Marshall Emperor dragon soul witnessing this shocking turn of events was filled with disbelief unable to reconcile the sight of wongon being swallowed just as anxiety gripped him an explosion of countless sword lights erupted from the dragon's mouth 10,000 swords returned to the origin a thunderous sound resounded as the J dragon's mouth was shattered by an onslaught of Sword energy I in that fleeting moment Wong tion reemerged into view surrounded by a flurry of Flying Swords each radiating formidable sword energy when the dragon's mouth closed in Wong tion had suddenly conceived a method to break free from within thus he refrained from counter attacking and allowed himself to be consumed by the J Dragon the instant he was swallowed he unleashed the 10,000 swords returned to the origin the overwhelming sword formation tore the dragon's head to shreds the Marshall Emperor dragon soul observing this iCal couldn't help but admire Wong tion's Ingenuity this young man was indeed a prodigy possessing such talent despite being deemed the weakest one could only wonder how extraordinary the talents of the princes and Nobles outside must be the Marshall Emperor dragon soul mused inwardly with the dragon's head obliterated the J Dragon became incapacitated its massive body crashing to the ground finally one had been vanquished just as Wong tion caught his breath he beheld eight J dragons ascending simultaneously all lunging toward him in a coordinated attack faced with the simultaneous assault of eight J dragons Wong tion's gaze sharpened and he bellowed merging with his sword sword come forth with that command three Majestic swords surged forth from the Marshall Emperor's coffin one was the Marshall Emperor's treasured weapon the woo Wong sword while the other two were Peerless swords from his lifetime collection one in Immortal Sword and the other two semi-immortal swords the addition of these three extraordinary swords significantly enhanced Wong tion sword for formation feeling this was still insufficient he activated his berserk skill this Earth level technique acquired from the blood Fox could temporarily double his power though it would leave him utterly exhausted once the cooldown expired rendering it a potential drain on his reserves empowered by the berserk enhancement Wong tion's cultivation sword from early human Immortal to late human Immortal 10,000 swords returned to the origin in Peak condition Wong tion concentrated all his spiritual energy into 20 swords each emanated a brilliant sword light the Marshall Emperor dragon soul witnessing this scene was once again astounded by Wong tion's strength what a remarkable young man he still had hidden abilities perhaps he might truly break the nine Dragon array following Wong tion's command the 20 unparalleled swords imbued with Supreme sword Energy Shot forth like meteors toward the 8j dragons while countless sword energies rained down upon them with ferocity as if intent on obliterating the very ground beneath following this barrage of Sword rain a golden dragon soul followed closely behind radiating brilliant Golden Light and significantly larger than before due to W tion's use of the berserk skill his dragon soul had grown stronger its length extending to 45 M its Dragon might even more imposing resembling a true Dragon King this represented the most powerful strike Wong tion could muster the sword reain descended crashing upon the 8j dragons with the formidable sword energy raining down upon them relentlessly yet a hazy white light enveloped the surface of the J dragons nullifying the sword Energy's impact and inflicting no damage however the extermination Sword Dragon Sovereign sword and Wu Wong sword pierced through the Jay Dragon ethereal defenses striking them directly the three J dragons struck by The Immortal swords found their protective barriers shattered and an overwhelming barrage of Sword energy pounded upon them leaving them teetering on the brink of Destruction yet the remaining five J dragons continued their Advance toward wongon just as it appeared wongon would be consumed once more the golden dragon soul charged forward executing a powerful tail sweep that forcefully repelled the five J dragons as it cast the J dragons aside the golden dragon soul lunged at the nearest J Dragon seizing its neck while using its sharp claws to grip another preventing any further attack on Wong tion the golden dragon soul taking on two at once showed no signs of faltering Wong tion exhaled in relief fortunate that his golden dragon soul had grown formidable once the three J Dragons Were cast aside they quickly regained their composure and resumed their assault on wongon unleashing several streams of White Energy orbs from their mouths Bound by the dragon might of the nine Dragon array Wong tion found himself immobilized I in a moment of desperation he summoned the phoenix feather fan once more furiously Fanning the three J dragons the immense gust transformed into numerous golden phoenixes screeching as they Dove toward the three three J dragons Wong tion was no longer concerned with defeating the three J dragons with the phoenix feather fan he merely hoped to delay them the extermination Sword Dragon Sovereign sword and Wu Wong sword had already nearly shattered the three J dragons once they were dealt with he could recall the swords D for the golden dragon soul taking on two was its limit defeating both J dragons seemed improbable countless golden Phoenix's infused with Wong tion's spiritual energy surged forth matching the three J in combat but could only hold them at Bay without overpowering them I in an instant the battlefield fell into a stalemate Wong tion felt a sense of urgency realizing that the berserk skill could only last for 1 hour beyond that his strength would diminish drastically leaving him exhausted if he could not break the nine Dragon array in time death would be imminent it appeared this young man had reached his limit any further delay could cost him his life the Marshall Emperor dragon soul recognized Wong tion's dire situation with without intervening he might perish after a moment of contemplation the Marshall Emperor dragon soul decisively doved toward the nearest J Dragon which was currently entangled with the golden dragon soul initially the golden dragon soul struggled to hold its own against two but with the Marshall Emperor dragon souls intervention the tide of battle shifted the two J dragons gradually fell into a disadvantage ultimately succumbing to the golden dragon souls bite that severed one of their necks with the fall of this J Dragon another was swiftly exterminated by the combined efforts of the Marshal Emperor dragon soul and the golden dragon soul I in just the span of half a stick of incense the two dragon souls had vanquished two J dragons after this fierce battle the Marshall Emperor dragon soul was left in a state of extreme fatigue as the nine Dragon array had been designed to suppress him now having expended his last reserves to assist the golden dragon soul in eliminating two J dragons he had reached his limit young one this is all I can do for you the rest is up to you the Marshall Emperor dragon soul weakly proclaimed you need not worry about the remainder simply observe as I showcase my prowess Wong tion replied with a slight smirk with the defeat of two J dragons his golden dragon soul was now freed instilling him with the confidence to eliminate the remaining J dragons with a mere thought the golden dragon soul pivoted and charged at the three J dragons that had been struck by The Immortal swords these three J dragons were already on the brink of collapse and the golden dragon souls arrival was akin to harvesting the spoils with a powerful tail sweep it shattered one J Dragon followed swiftly by a fierce claw strike that obliterated another the last remaining J Dragon soon met its end as well devoured by the golden dragon soul eye and the blink of an eye three J dragons had been defeated excellent only three J dragons remain Wong tion rejoiced internally promptly commanding the golden dragon soul and the three Immortal swords to launch a fierce assault on the final Trio of J dragons ultimately just as the berserk skill waned the last three J Dragons Were Shattered by Wong tion's might thus all nine J dragons lay in Ruins fragments scattered across the entire melum at he last they are vanquished surely the nine Dragon array must be broken now Wong tion felt a significant alleviation of pressure his body regaining its freedom of movement however the nine Dragon array remained intact its Force still binding him the Marshall Emperor Dragon Soul's expression turned grave he had ially believed that shattering the n9j dragons would dismantle the array yet it seemed he had underestimated its complexity could it be with all nine J dragons gone how could the nine Dragon array still persist Wong tion activated the array eye to survey the ground below and what he discovered filled him with Dread for beneath the coffin lay a powerful array the true nine Dragon array while the NJ dragons had merely served as a distraction the genuine nine Dragon array lay concealed beneath your coffin as soon as Wang tion uttered this re ation the fragments of J dragons on the ground suddenly soared into the air coalescing before the astonished gazes of Wong tion and the Marshal Emperor dragon soul gulping audibly Wong tion felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness wash over him after the berserk skill his entire being was drained of energy leaving him with no strength to continue fighting was he truly destined to perish here the dragon soul of the Marshall Emperor was equally unwilling to accept his fate he had thought that shattering the n9j dragons would Grant him Freedom yet the outcome remained unchanged young man while it has yet to fully coales You Must Escape at once as long as you leave the melum The Nine Dragons formation will no longer pose a threat to you the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was determined not to let Wong tion suffer any repercussions he had already exerted himself to the utmost and to withstand any longer would surely result in his demise Wong ton yearned for a swift Escape but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the coffin and a bold idea surged within him ancestor I have one last resort the Marshal Emperor had attained the Pinnacle of The Immortal Realm in life and the rewards he received in death would undoubtedly be substantial your dragon energy has been completely depleted what can you possibly do the Marshall Emperor dragon soul inquired perplexed I cannot ascertain its efficacy but at this moment I have no choice but to take a gamble Wong ton lacked complete confidence yet surrendering and fleeing left him with an insatiable sense of regret having made his decision he immediately Dove towards the coffin below what are you doing young man the nine dragon formation Lies Beneath the coffin and that J giant dragon is nearly formed hurry back the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was in a state of panic Wong tion paid him no heed recklessly plunging towards the coffin fortunately the coffin lid had already been lifted by the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul saving him the trouble with a gentle push he completely opened the half-lift lid revealing the Marshall Emperor's skeletal Remains the bones Shone with a crystalline Clarity devoid of any foul odor instead emanating A peculiar ethereal fragrance surrounding the skeleton were numerous precious burial items but wongon had no time to examine them he reached out directly to touch the bones the moment his hand made contact the systems voice resonated at the opportune moment ding congratulations host for touching a Celestial great corpse you have acquired a Century's worth of dragon energy Wong t was overjoyed a Century's worth of dragon energy was precisely what he needed to replenish his exhausted Danon absorb the centuries worth of dragon energy without hesitation Wong tion absorbed the newly acquired energy instantly his once depleted Danon was filled a new with dragon energy and the fatigue that had beset his body vanished even as his strength surged forward elevating him from the initial to the midstage of The Immortal Realm filling him with Vigor his golden dragon soul now suffused with dragon energy radiated a dazzling Golden Light and its length extended by a meter after absorbing the centuries worth of dragon energy Wong tion did not cease his efforts but continued to reach for the Marshall Emperor's skeletal remains ding congratulations host for touching a Celestial great corpse you have acquired the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique an ancient Celestial level cultivation method long lost to the Royal lineage was a top tier technique tailored specifically for the descendants of royalty incredible I have stumbled upon this long lost Royal technique Wong tion exclaimed with excitement addressing the system comprehend the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique as the words left his lips a wave of mysterious and immense information surged into Wong tion's mind and in an instant he fully grasped the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique upon opening his eyes a golden dragon flickered within his gaze and Wang tion felt an overwhelming surge of power this technique far surpasses the nine Dragon Palm he thought exhilarated as his blood fell to blaze after comprehending the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique Wong tion noticed that the J giant dragon was on the verge of completion let me test my new found skills on this J giant dragon he felt compelled to strike before it fully took shape with that thought Wang tion activated the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique he had just learned as he initiated the technique the dragon energy within him began to circulate wildly manifesting Dragon imprints upon his body upon completing the first Circuit of energy a red dragon imprint appeared on the back of his hands with the second circuit another imprint emerged on his arms and with the third one appeared on his chest by the time he completed the ninth circuit a massive red dragon imprint adorned his back with each circuit a new red dragon imprint emerged on his body until his entire surface was encircled by the formidable red dragon marks wongon strength surged tfold exuding a fierce dragon's might as if he had transformed into a dragon man as astounding the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique truly deserves its reputation as a top tier Royal method I feel as if I merged with the red dragon Wong tion was overwhelmed with excitement from his vantage point the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul gazed on in astonishment at Wong tion's transformation how is this possible this young man has actually mastered my nine- turn Golden Dragon technique my unique skill the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul trembled in shock a sensation far greater than his prior battle against the n9j dragons in the moment of his stuper Wong tion transformed into a crimson energy orb charging towards the Jay giant dragon from a distance he appeared as a blazing meteor hurtling rapidly toward the Jade giant dragon as the Jade giant dragon had yet to fully coales It could only expel a massive breath of dragon energy from its ma this breath had the power to corrode all things in existence yet Wang tion did not evade he lunged forward delivering a powerful punch instantly his punch morphed into a colossal Red Dragon roaring as it surged toward the J giant dragon upon encountering the dragon breath it was swiftly engulfed continuing its Relentless Advance toward the J giant dragon a thunderous dragon roar reached its Zenith as the red dragon struck the J giant dragon the already fragmented Jay Dragon pieces shattered into even smaller fragments under the force of this tremendous energy assault to prevent the Jay giant dragon from reforming Wong tion's eyes sharpened as he dove into the remnants of the J Dragon unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks upon the shatter pieces in an instant countless red dragon energies dispersed and any J Dragon fragments struck were obliterated into dust rendering them incapable of reassembly the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul witnessing this scene from above was rendered speechless Wong Ton's current ferocity eclipsed even his earlier might resembling an invincible Dragon man entirely Unstoppable this young man is terrifyingly strong even the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul felt a twinge of fear too ensur the complete annihilation of the J Dragon fragments he summoned his golden dragon soul and in an instant the two powerful energies one red and one gold combined to thoroughly pulverize the J Dragon remnants after an hour not a single J Dragon fragment remained within the melum with the absence of the J Dragon remnants The Nine Dragons formation could no longer stir up chaos akin to a tiger stripped of its claws reduced to a mere feeble cat the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique is extraordinarily powerful it feels as though I have suddenly transformed into a dragon man Wong tion gazed at the red dragon imprints on his hands his eyes Al light with excitement young man with no J dragons to obstruct you the Nine Dragons formation can be shattered the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul urged urgently he had awaited this day for far too long Freedom was finally at hand good Wong tion nodded then swiftly returned to the coffin side raising his fist sizable as a sandbag and struck the ground with tremendous Force with a resounding crash the ground was indented exposing the arrays runes beneath observing this wongon continued to hammer down with several more punches until he had thoroughly dismantled the Aras ruins beneath the coffin Now The Nine Dragons formation should be completely destroyed exhausted Wong tion collapsed onto the ground casting his gaze Upward at the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul ancestor are you still bound the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul soared freely for a distance and a wave of Eli surged within him I am no longer bound The Nine Dragons formation has truly been breached I am free the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul joyfully fluttered about his melum ultimately bursting through the roof and ascending into the sky after 10,000 years I am finally free the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul sworded into the heavens reving in the taste of Freedom witnessing this wongon hurriedly dashed upwards seizing the dragon Soul's tail and dragging it back into the melum you brat why are you pulling me the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was incensed he had hoped to witness the world after 10,000 years only to be forcibly yanked back by wongon this is the Royal melum your emergence would incite Panic among the populace thus ancestor it is best for you to remain here for now once you have fully regained your strength I shall take you out to explore Wong tion was not yet ready to expose his abilities although he was among the foremost experts in the capital at The Immortal Realm he had not yet reached invincibility and needed to remain cautious for a time very well I shall rest here for the time being once my strength is restored I will ensure that suong and his descendants pay the price a glimmer of hatred flickered in the Marshal Emperor's dragon souls eyes susong the founder of the celestial phenomenon sect wongon inquired instinctively you know of him that old scoundrel deceived me claiming my dragon soul could Ascend to immortality he set up the Nine Dragons formation asserting it would Aid my cultivation yet it ended up in imprisoning me and siphoning away all my dragon energy and Fortune the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul spoke bitterly oh that is how it is however it seems suang truly ascended to immortality if you seek Vengeance you must find him in the higher Realms though 10,000 years have passed he should still be alive Wong tion reflected he had a vivid memory of susong as historical records noted him as the first individual to intercept the fortunes of others to ascend having siphoned the fortunes of many prodigies among them the Marshall Emperor himself that old fiend is still alive and has ascended to the higher Realms the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was filled with both rage and unwillingness he intercepted the fortunes of many prodigies and many yearn for his demise yet he ascended to immortality if you wish to exact your revenge you must Ascend first Wong tion comforted Ascend with my dragon soul body how could it be an easy feat to ascend the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul suddenly sank into despondency though the dragon soul lacks a physical form it boasts an eternal lifespan as long as no one can kill you you may cultivate indefinitely what is there to fear Wong tion continued to offer consolation these words instilled a flicker of Hope in the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul you are correct as long as I do not perish there is hope remain here and cultivate after reassuring him Wong tion returned to the side of the Marshall Emperor's coffin ancestor according to your previous promise make I borrow these burial items rest assured I keep my word take whatever you wish I am merely a dragon soul now and these Treasures are of no use to me the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul felt helpless although the dragon soul could live for countless years it could not utilize Treasures such as Weapons upon hearing the Marshall Emperor's consent Wang tion felt no hesitation and began to inventory the burial items within the coffin this assessment filled him with great Delight however when his hand inadvertently brushed against the Marshall emperor skelet Remains the systems voice unexpectedly echoed once more ding congratulations host for touching a Celestial great corpse you have obtained chapter 120 acquiring the innate charm body this marked Wong tion's third reward from the Marshall Emperor remains at the moment his hand made contact with the skeletal Remains the systems voice rang out in timely fashion ding congratulations host for touching a Celestial great corpse you have obtained 10 years of dragon soul power Aston bingly it was dragon soul power what a delightful surprise Wong tion was quite pleased with this dragon soul power with the addition of 10 years of it his golden dragon soul would once again be able to grow he immediately absorbed the dragon soul power as Wong tion's words fell the 10 years of dragon soul power surged into his golden dragon soul I in the next moment his golden dragon soul radiated a dazzling Golden Light and his Dragon form visibly expanded at an astonishing rate it grew from 41 M to 45 M before finally ceasing its growth alongside the increase in size the might of his Dragon Aura intensified imparting an oppressive sensation akin to a mountain pressing down this pressure was far more intense than that of an ordinary dragon soul to be precise it was the pressure of a dragon king having grown an additional 4 meters Wong tion reflected now my dragon souls power should be on par with that of an immortal realm expert he gazed at the golden dragon soul hovering in madir feeling an immense sense of Pride presently he possessed the equivalent strength of two Immortal Realm practitioners and could contend with Experts of the earth Immortal Realm even upon his demise his soul could enter the golden dragon soul and continue to exist much like the Marshall Emperor whose Soul entered the dragon soul postmortem allowing for eternal life observing the rapid growth of Wong tion's golden dragon soul as if it were a quotidian matter left the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul utterly astounded kid how do you call cultivate how does your dragon soul grow so swiftly the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul couldn't help but inquire eager for knowledge had Wong tion's Own Strength progressed rapidly the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul would not have felt such Envy for he had no physical body to cultivate with no matter how much he envied it would be feudal however seeing the Swift development of Wong tion's dragon soul genuinely stirred his feelings of jealousy I don't know I just practiced casually and my dragon soul grew wasn't it difficult for you to cultivate ancestor Wong tion replied nonchalantly the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul nearly spat blood upon hearing this are you speaking human words just practicing casually and your dragon soul grows he had cultivated in this melum for over 10,000 years and his dragon soul had only expanded by a mere 10 m while this young man had grown his dragon soul by over 10 m since entering the Mosel it was truly infuriating how one could compare kid if you reveal the secret to cultivating dragon soul I can divulge a secret regarding my son as melam the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul had no choice but to resort to bargaining with his son is leverage your son Wong GAA the great Chen literary Emperor Wong tion exclaimed in astonishment according to historical records after the Marshall Emperor's death his son Wong gaw ascended to the throne becoming the great Chen literary emperor during his Reign he advocated for nurturing and revitalization ceasing external aggression and fervently developing the livelihood of the people while also supporting the martial arts Community it was under his rule that various martial sects began to flourish like mushrooms after rain for instance the divine wind sect was founded by him and Remains the second ranking sect on the tition Shen continent indeed my son Wanga has cultivated a dragon soul as well and he visits me from time to time obedient to my words if you seek to borrow cultivation resources I can speak to him and have him open the melum doors for you you may freely use the resources within the Marshal Emperor's dragon Soul stated solemnly in his quest for Rapid cultivation the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was determined with his current sluggish Pace akin to that of a tortoise ascending and seeking Vengeance would be utterly impossible only with a dragon soul cultivation speed like wongon could he hope for Ascension and revenge the Marshall Emperor's dragon souls words astonished Wong tion the literary Emperor Wong GAA was also a sage ruler and his burial items would certainly be remarkable moreover he was the founding patriarch of the Divine windset which ranked second on the tonen continent gaining the literary Emperor's favor might even secure the support of the divine wind sect this was indeed a delicate matter wongon himself was at a loss for words unsure of how to explain he certainly could not reveal that his rapid dragon soul growth was aided by the system believing that his bargaining chip was insufficient the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul stealed himself and continued in fact there is also a queen's melum within this tomb located in the side chamber behind my coffin her burial items are plentiful including a Celestial weapon Wong tion was astounded by his words realizing that the Marshall Emperor was willing to sell out both his son and his wife when the Marshall Emperor was ruthless he was indeed formidable well since you are so sincere I shall share the information with you Wong tion felt that he could only fabricate a dragon soul cultivation technique to navigate this situation lest the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul persistently entangle him kid is this truly the case the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul felt a surge of excitement indeed after a moment of contemplation Wong tion con coed a tail thy in truth the key to swiftly cultivating the dragon soul is quite simple just Envision yourself as a true dragon and cultivate according to their way of life you will grow rapidly Wong tion's words were entirely fabricated yet they struck a chord with the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul Illuminating a path previously obscured living like a dragon why did I not think of this for a thousand years I have been cultivating my dragon soul with a human mindset kid a single piece of your advice surpasses a millennium of cultivation the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul rejoiced realizing the reason for the rapid cultivation speed of other dragon souls as he felt he had discovered a new and promising path faced with the sudden Enlightenment of the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul Wong tion felt perplexed he had merely been speaking whimsically to Plate him ancestor I have shared the secret of dragon soul cultivation with you you won't regret your promise will you Wong tion felt compelled to confirm once more fearful of any change of heart rest assured once I give my word I shall not retract it the Queen's melum lies just behind go and see for yourself take whatever you desire I must begin my cultivation after uttering these words the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul coiled itself up preparing to cultivate like a dragon it was evident that the Marshall Emperor had taken Wong tion's words to heart and was earnestly preparing for cultivation Wong tion now with no time to spare swiftly made his way to the back of the melum approaching closely he indeed discovered a small door with a forceful push he opened it to reveal a modestly sized tomb housing a gilded red coffin the Marshal Emperor's Queen was said to be Xiao fien a renowned Beauty in history who captivated the Marshall Emperor's heart with her innate charm considering this Wong tion's anticipation for the remains of xiaoen intensified the Queen's coffin bore no protective runes allowing wongon to easily pry it open the moment the coffin lid was lifted a foul odor wafted forth but with a flick of his hand he effortlessly repelled it away from his body with his strength at The Immortal Realm such a stench posed no threat Xiao fien was a paragon of beauty even on the tition shien continent her innate charm had undoubtedly ins snared countless Souls what Treasures might he uncover from her remains with eager anticipation Wong ton reached out to touch Xiao fian's skeletal form and as his hand made contact the systems Voice resounded once more ding congratulations host for touching a terrestrial great corpse you have obtained the innate charm body chapter 121 could it be the innate charm body is so powerful the innate charm body Wong tion was utterly astonished he never expected to encounter such a thing ding innate charm body integration complete moreover before Wong tion could even acknowledge it the system infused the innate charm body into his form leaving him no opportunity for refusal are you kidding me I'm a man and you give me an innate charm body Wong tion was left speechless as a man possessing an innate charm body what kind of situation was that system can I return this Wong tion pondered considering that a man wielding an innate charm body would surely be problematic Ino returns allowed system output is final the systems response left wangon feeling disheartened well I guess I have no choice but to accepted Wong tion resigned himself to reality then began to anticipate how yunio would react upon seeing him would she be captivated by him shifting his thoughts back wangon concentrated on the burial items accompanying xiaoen zapen is not of the celestial realm thus her remains can only be touched once since it is feudal to covet her bones my only option is to focus on her burial Treasures the Queen's burial items are quite remarkable Wong tion's eyes sparkled at the sight of these Treasures particularly as he discovered the presence of the huan pure Earth among them this pristine soil a rarity found only in paradisical Realms possesses the ability to generate spiritual energy on its own even the most ordinary plants cultivated in this huan pure Earth can blossom into spiritual flowers and bear spiritual fruits the most crucial aspect is that this hu on pure Earth is one of the materials won seeks to collect with its unexpected availability he need not exert further effort in search of it without hesitation Wong tion stored the huan pure Earth in his system space apart from the huan pure Earth the burial Treasures also included the celestial artifact the Jade Maiden sword a Heavenly gray blue Jade Phoenix hairpin five vials of Exquisite Elixir and several mysterious seeds Wong tion brought the seeds close to his nose and inhaled deeply his eyes suddenly lighting up they were seeds of the tontion tree the woong fruit and the Phoenix Flower spiritual herbs that have long been extinct Wong tion felt as though he had stumbled upon a treasure and casually stored these three seeds in his system space beyond these the remaining burial Treasures were rather mundane although there were Earthly great artifacts they held little significance for Wong ton at this juncture hence he chose not to take them thank you your majesty if I have the opportunity next time I shall repay you with greater generosity Wong tion bowed to zapan and carefully replaced the coffin lid after completing these tasks he respectfully exited the chamber Upon returning to the center of the melum he found found the dragon soul of the Marshal Emperor still coiled in meditation Wong tion did not wish to disturb him but instead approached the emperor's coffin would he be able to find anything from the Marshall Emperor initially Wong tion thought he could only touch the emperor's remains twice yet he had managed three times so he was curious if a fourth attempt might yield results however to his disappointment he found no rewards on the emperor's bones during his fourth attempt with no rewards to be had he shifted his Focus to the burial Treasures the Marshal Emperor's Treasures were far more abundant than those of xiaoai in addition to the previously acquired Marshall King sword and two other Heavenly great swords the coffin contained the howan tower a magical artifact capable of subduing unparalleled Masters there was also the celestial painting a Heavenly grade Masterpiece that encapsulated a miniature world within it one could enter at will and even draw others inside making it an ideal hidden Sanctuary moreover there lay a demon suppressing Stone a dark object exuding extraordinarily pure spirit ual energy inscribed with cryptic runes the presence of this demon suppressing Stone thrilled wangon it was yet another material he required excited he realized that this Expedition had yielded two essential materials Splendid this saves me the trouble of searching for the demon suppressing Stone Wong tion unhesitatingly stored all these Heavenly grade burial Treasures in his system space and similarly Left Behind the Earthly grade artifacts which had become redundant for him at this stage after collecting the burial items the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul abruptly opened its Dragon Eyes a fierce light emanating from them wonderful I have finally grown another meter the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul exclaimed with Elation then noticed Wong tion taking his treasures from the coffin but appeared unconcerned even encouraging him to take more this left won feeling somewhat awkward kid your method for cultivating the dragon soul is indeed impressive I have only practiced for a short while yet have gained a meter in growth previously I would need at least 100 Years of practice to achieve the same the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul expressed his gratitude towards Wong tion sometimes a single Insight from a master can enable a top tier expert to break through a bottleneck an achievement that might take thousands of years if one were to rely solely on personal comprehension you you have succeeded in your cultivation Wong tion was astonished a casual remark he had made had seemingly transformed the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul this was truly astonishing yes young one without your guidance I would never have had the chance to ascend let alone seek Vengeance now I see hope once more the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul said his tone shifting take more from the burial items in my coffin and there are many Treasures in the queenkk coffin as well furthermore my son possesses numerous burial items too feel free to take what you wish if he dares to obstruct you I shall punish him the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was in High Spirits thoroughly selling out his son and wife Wong tion stood there in embarrassment coming to his senses after a while I appreciate your generosity ancestor however I must step outside for a moment and will visit Emperor one tomorrow Wong tion felt it necessary to meet yunu and deliver the two Treasures he had obtained from the Exquisite female corpse good I will inform my son the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul replied Wong tion nodded sensing that the Marshall Emperor's dragon soul was quite agreeable indeed willing to part with his treasures having concluded matters here Wong tion flew out of the melum his mood exceptionally buoyant for this had been his most fruitful Expedition yet upon exiting the Royal tomb Wong tion realized that over 10 days had passed and the world outside had undergone tremendous changes particularly in the street tea houses the town's folk were AB Buzz with discussions about the Great Moon Kingdom successful breach of the Shan hauan and shangra pass the third Prince's death in battle while the first prince led a massive Army to besiege inching Shan huin and shangra pass were formidable fortifications that had resisted assault for over a century how could they have fallen so suddenly Wong tion was taken aback with the Great Moon Kingdom controlling these two strongholds it was akin to opening the gateway to the north of the deian dynasty which was certainly troubling news to gather more clarity Wong ton settled down in a modest Tea House pouring a cup of wine for a nearby young man before inquiring my friend how did the Great Moon Kingdom manage to breach Shan hauan and shangra pass as far as I know these fortifications are easy to defend yet difficult to attack and with 800,000 troops stationed there it seems improbable for the Great Moon Kingdom to succeed you are not aware of this it is said that the forces of the Great Moon Kingdom entered through long uin and under a pincer attack both strongholds fell moreover the first prince brought 30,000 troops into the capital otherwise how could the two strongholds have possibly succumbed the young man explained patiently grateful for the drink wongon had poured upon hearing this wongon deduced that the treachery of prime minister suenan was at play as he had person appointed the commander at long uin without his consent how could the Great Moon Kingdom's forces have infiltrated but how did the first prince manage to enter the capital with 30,000 troops Wong tion pressed further it is all about The Throne the entire capital is a buzz with rumors that the late Emperor was killed by the fourth Prince and the throne has been passed to the first prince who naturally would bring his men along the young man whispered such Palace secrets were known even to Common folk indicating that the first prince had likely dispatched individuals to spread these tals throughout the capital laying the groundwork for his Ascension as soon as the young man finished speaking he noticed a group of guards entering the street and hurriedly set down his wine Bowl to leave such words if overheard by the palace guards could lead to dire consequences wongon refrained from pursuing further questions and instead pondered the situation beginning to piece together the events sanon's treachery with the fourth Prince complicit was pushing the deian dynasty towards Peril Wong tion shook his head helplessly harboring even deeper animosity towards the fourth Prince and suan on just as he quietly sipped his wine two figures suddenly approached his table two women one veiled in White and the other holding a sword exuding an aura of formidable prowess my friend the tea house is full may we share a table with you the veiled woman politely requested Wong tion glanced Around The Tea House noting the abundance of empty seats yet these two mysterious women chose to sit with him could it be that my innate Allure attracts women like m to a flame wongon mused inwardly I apologize but here he initially intended to decline but a fleeting glance at the two women revealed that their facial features bore no resemblance to those of individuals from the dean Dynasty instead reflecting distinct characteristics typical of the Great Moon Kingdom why friend what do you mean by here the veiled woman inquired her Bright Eyes fixated on wongon there is no one here please feel free to sit wongon replied sensing that these two women were no Ary individuals the sword wielding woman radiated the aura of a first tier expert her presence remarkably restrained surpassing even that of the shushan sect leader her hands bore calluses indicative of her prowess with the sword likely having reached the level of a sword Saint the veiled woman before him was even more formidable Wong tion could not discern her strength given that his own capabilities had reached the midstage of the celestial realm the inability to perceive her strength indicated that she was undoubtedly above that level thank you kindly young man we are from afar and are not familiar with this place the veiled woman said bowing gracefully though she was shrouded in a white Veil her figure was elegantly graceful her voice soft and measured revealing her refined upbringing I asked that so you hail from the Great Moon Kingdom Wong tion placed his wine cup down casting a sidelong glance at them and the atmosphere instantly grew tense chapter 122 I will subdue him the two mysterious Beauties before him were momentarily taken back upon hearing Wong tion discern their identity but they quickly regained their composure after all their facial structures were distinctly different from those of women in the dean Dynasty making his Insight somewhat unsurprising you have sharp eyes young man we have come to engage in martial arts exchanges with the dean the veiled woman said pouring herself a cup of tea and glancing sideways at Wong tion while sipping noting his lack of cultivation her brows slightly furrowing with her level of expertise she could sense something unique about Wong ton yet was unable to gauge his power peing her curiosity exchanging martial arts surely you are not here to pry into military Secrets Wong tion said calmly taking a sip of tea this remark made both women s Hearts skip a beat although the young man before them wore a mask and appeared to possess no cultivation his gaze was piercingly sharp however how could they possibly admit it you justest young sir we are merely here to discuss martial arts the masked woman smiled faintly effortlessly brushing the matter aside discussing martial arts how fortuitous for I share a keen interest in the subject why not engage in a dialogue Wong tion sought to probe the depths of these two ladies you an ordinary person without any cultivation understand martial arts interjected the sword-bearing beauty beside her it was no wonder she spoke thus for Wong tion had employed the turtle breathing technique rendering his cultivation imperceptible to Outsiders leading them to perceive him as an ordinary individual yet the woman in the white Veil saw through him at first glance otherwise she would not have chosen to share a table with him shiai the exchange of martial arts does not hinge upon one's individual strength the masked woman chided she then turned her attention back to wongon Young sir since you are interested in martial arts let us exchange ideas over a drink that I toast to you as she spoke she flung a cup of wine directly towards wangon his eyes sharpened momentarily yet he effortlessly caught the cup ensuring not a sing drop was spilled nor did the liquid within sash about thank you for the drink my lady Wong tion replied calmly Downing the contents in one go the sword-bearing woman observed with a flicker of surprise in her eyes as Wang tion easily caught the cup thrown by her mistress to her it was highly unusual that someone who exhibited no fluctuation of spiritual energy could accomplish such a feat with ease I in that instant her perception of Wong tion shifted seeing that he had effortlessly caught her test of skill the masked woman confirmed her suspicion this young man was indeed extraordinary and my lady I shall toast to you as well after pouring a cup of wine Wong tion mirrored her earlier action albe at this time employing the strength of The Immortal Realm the cup vanished as it was thrown and while the sword-bearing woman did not react in time the masked woman gracefully raised her hand retrieving the cup from thin air upon witnessing her catch the cup he had cast forth Wong tion was assured of her strength which undoubtedly surpassed the immortal otherwise she could not have drawn the cup from the void excellent wine the masked woman downed the contents heartily her gaze towards Wong tion now tinged with admiration you possess a fine tolerance for alcohol my lady however I have pressing matters to attend to and must take my leave for now should fate allow we shall drink together again Wong tion clasped his fists in a respectful gesture before Rising I'm suene X may I ask your name Young sir the masked woman inquired curiosity evident in her voice the ability to manipulate objects from thin air was a skill reserved for those of The Immortal Realm I am tion Wong until our paths cross again Wong tion replied before turning to depart with Nightfall approaching he was eager to meet yunio watching him leave Sujin exk gaze lingered mistress it seems this tion Wong hides his true strength the sword-bearing woman remarked her brow furrowed tion Wong investigate this person for me the deian Empire truly Harbors hidden talents it appears that anyone on the streets could possess strength in The Immortal Realm it seems prudent that we did not recklessly Advance Southward suene exine instructed The Immortal Realm so that young man is of The Immortal Realm the sword-bearing woman gasped in astonishment unable to Fathom that a chance encounter in a tea house could reveal someone of such caliber is the deian Empire truly at a point where Immortals walk among them if so our million strong Army would be walking into a trap fortunately they had come to investigate otherwise they would have faced significant losses the masked woman felt a wave of relief wash over her before continuing by the way what is the situation with the Crown Prince of Deen the Crown Prince is besieging Yin City however that old Fox sujan Nan has stationed 500,000 troops there making his Conquest nearly impossible moreover his retreat has been cut off by the Long Way Army soon he will have no choice but to withdraw in disgrace the sword-bearing woman replied seriously he must not be allowed to retreat safely our primary objective in covertly investigating deien is to eliminate the Crown Prince as he poses a significant threat to our DU Kingdom suene exi instructed with a solemn expression rest assured we have made arrangements to ensure the Crown Prince does not leave alive the sword bearing woman assured her excellent furthermore we must thoroughly investigate the martial arts sects of the deian Empire especially before our Southern Expedition it is essential to subdue the top three sects of the dean Empire ensuring they do not participate at in the war the masked woman expressed her concerns otherwise it would pose a significant obstacle to their Advance Southward Wong tion's display at the Tea House had made the masted woman increasingly cautious regarding the martial arts sects of the deian Empire with Immortals roaming freely could she afford to be careless the top three sects of the dean empire were formidable entities not easily subdued I have my methods the masked woman declared her eyes sparkling with confidence as she gazed at the spot where Wong tion had disappeared not not only will I subdue the top three sects of the deian Empire but I will also bring him into my fold chapter 123 brother tion I wish to reward you yunio had been diligently dedicating her time to cultivation the news of the de Kingdom's conquest of Shan hauan and shangra pass left her feeling restless perhaps it was due to Wong tion being the sixth Prince of Dean that she found herself increasingly preoccupied with military Affairs hoping that one day she could assist her brother tion suddenly a knock echoed from outside her chamber s yunio opened her eyes she sensed the presence of the visitor a flicker of Joy Crossing her delicate features brother tion has come to find me she exclaimed excitedly rushing to open the door revealing none other than the young man she had longed for brother tion yuno exclaimed throwing herself into Wong tion's Embrace 5 days apart felt like an eternity for those in love even a single day apart could evoke yearning let alone fived the warmth of her delicate frame captivated Wong tion who instinctively held her tightly to be honest he too had missed yuno during their separation shiao let us speak inside I have something wonderful to share with you Wang tion gazed down at yunia with tender eyes mm she nodded her Gaze on him as if drawn by An Invisible Thread their mere exchange of glances ignited a flame within their hearts once inside the chamber Wong tion could no longer contain himself and pressed a kiss upon yuno's tender lips seeking to alleviate the pangs of longing he had felt over the past few days though it was merely a fleeting brush yuno's cheeks flushed and she felt a lingering desire for more from Wong tion's gentle PE by the way brother tion I have something important to tell you she suddenly recalled her expression turning serious what is it wongon hesitated to release her the alluring scent of her skin enthralled him the dewa kingdom has taken control of Shan hauan and shangra pass are you aware yunio assumed Wong tion had been too absorbed in his cultivation to notice the shifting tides of the world outside I heard others mention it at the Tea House wongon nodded then shifted the topic shiao could your chilin Pavilion help me gather information on the D Kingdom won felt it necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the de Kingdom his time in the palace had left him largely uninformed about it he only knew that his father had personally campaigned against the da Kingdom but had failed sustaining serious injuries from their experts his elder brother Wong Yin had reached the level of Marshall Saint yet could only defend the stronghold launching a proactive assault was simply unrealist istic now that the daa kingdom had seized Shan hauan and shangra pass their forces could Advance Southward at any moment necessitating preemptive intelligence gathering in no problem our chilin Pavilion has Spies all over the world including the de Kingdom once we step outside I will have my father provide you with a detailed dossier on the de Kingdom yuno replied her heart brimming with joy at the prospect of aiding her brother tion I am most grateful I in return I have two Treasures I wish to bestow upon you as wongon spoke he retrieved the seven colored demon feathers and the demon skybell from his spatial storage the seven colored demon feathers were a stunning pair of wings blending red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet creating a mesmerizing display without knowing their name onlookers would likely assume they belonged to a fairy the demon Sky Bell a small ebony Bell adorned with cryptic runes was palm-sized the moment these Treasures appeared yuno's eyes sparkled with delight a sense of familiarity washing over her such beautiful Wings she exclaimed captivated by the seven colored demon feathers being a girl she was naturally drawn to Pretty Things these are the seven colored feathers a treasure of heavenly grade that can be refined into part of your own body Wong tion refrained from revealing the full truth about the seven colored demon feathers fearing yunio might Harbor reservations about the treasured seven colored feathers what a lovely name it seems as though there is a bloodline flowing Within These feathers yunio observes closely her delicate fingers caressing the seven colored demon feathers with a sense of cherished possession indeed it is a Heavenly grade treasure capable of being refined into part of your body if you like it you may give it a try Wong tion encouraged eager to see yunio refine the seven colored demon feathers then I shall give it a or wide in yun's beautiful eyes a flicker of anticipation arose she was enamored with the pair of resplendant wings and she felt an inexplicable familiarity with them especially with the essence coursing through those wings as if it were her own Wong tion remained silent standing by her side serving as her protector yunu cradled the seven colored magical feathers in her right hand drawing upon her entire spiritual energy to begin the process of refining them however as her energy made contact with the feathers they were not refined but instead burrowed directly into her body this spectacle left both wongon and yunu momentarily astounded could it be that the seven colored feathers were refined so swiftly long tion's face was a portrait of shock he merely blinked and the feathers had already entered yunk form this was clearly the outcome of a successful refinement I too am at a loss the moment my spiritual energy touched the feathers they simply entered my body yunu expressed her own confusion having not even begun the refining process yet the feathers had already acknowledged her then why not try to summon them wongon said his eyes brimming with expectation only by successfully summoning the seven colored Magic IC feathers could one truly claim the refinement as complete all right I shall give it a try yunu nodded and concentrated attempting to summon them and instantly a pair of wings formed from condensed seven colored energy appeared on her back they were stunning imbued with a mysterious energy that flowed within with her inherent Beauty yunu now resembled a Celestial fairy enchanting Beyond Compare adorned with the wings brother tion it seems I can indeed summon them yunu exclaimed with delight these vibrant Wings not only granted her the ability to soar but also enhanced her strength s a second tier cultivator she now felt capable of contending with a first tier Master wongon arru not only marveled at how much more beautiful yunu had become with the wings but also at how swiftly they had accepted her without the need for her to refine them brother tion do you think I look beautiful yunu joyfully twirled before him beautiful indeed truly magnificent you now resemble a fairy no even more Exquisite than a fairy Wong tion praised sincerely his heart racing at the thought of such a stunning fairy being his wife how embarrassing yunu playfully chided her heart brimming with joy little schw why not give this Dowell a try once won regained his composure he eagerly anticipated witnessing yunu manipulation of the magical Dow Bell does this Bell also require refinement yunu attempted to activate it with her spiritual energy and was astonished to find success a dark energy emanated from the Bell and the runes upon it began to Glow this sight left Wong tion utterly speechless once more this time there was no need for refinement she could command it as though the artifact were inherently hers wangon suddenly felt a connection realizing that the yunu before him and the millennial old corpse in the black melum were one and the same how else could one explain this phenomenon moreover they bore an uncanny resemblance even sharing the same birth mark as if she were a perfect replica brother tion it seems this Bell can enhance one's comprehension using it during a breakthrough increases the chances of success yunu activated the magical Dow Bell and suddenly a deep resonant chime echoed forth under the influence of this sound the spiritual energy within yunu surged wildly her comprehension seemingly multiplying several times over this thrilled yunu the stronger 1s comprehension the greater the probability of a successful breakthrough and the faster one could practice various techniques and abilities really why do I not feel anything Wong tion heard the bell's chime but the flow of his dragon energy remained unchanged and he sensed no enhancement in his comprehension you cannot feel it under the influence of this chime my spiritual energy is rapidly increasing and my comprehension seems to be heightened yunu exclaimed her excitement palpable techniques that had once eluded her understanding now suddenly made sense she had never considered that such a talent as comprehension could be enhanced this may only be effective for the practitioner themselves wangon concluded these two artifacts are perfectly suited for me they feel as if they were tailor made thank you brother tion I must reward you yunu could no longer contain her Joy feeling that brother tion had been exceedingly generous always gifting her such magnificent Treasures how might you reward me before Wong tion could finish his sentence yunu silenced him with a kiss her dress slowly slipping away and the Seven colored Wings behind her burst forth in brilliance chapter 1 24 the Empress of daa Kingdom after a whole day and night the storm finally began to Abate the blush still lingering on her cheeks yunu nestled in Wong tion's Embrace her face radiating warmth and satisfaction brother tion I believe I have broken through to the first tier yunu said brimming with excitement while it typically takes others 5 years 10 years or even a lifetime to ascend from the second tier to the first yunu accomplished this in just a day and night the process filled with fervor perhaps it is due to the seven colored magical feathers and the Dow Bell both extraordinary Treasures that greatly Aid in your cultivation Wong tion glanced at the pair of vibrant Wings on Yun us back recalling how their recent dual cultivation had an extraordinary flavor with those wings present moreover with Yu's Newfound strength their dual cultivation enhanced the effects of the Hang d maging as well if that is the case I should also take out the Black Pearl to amplify our efforts our cultivation speed would surely accelerate even further during our dual practice you suu her mind racing immediately retrieved the ancient magical Pearl from her spatial bracelet her enchanting gaze fixed intently on wongon exuding an irresistible charm another round Wong tion swallowed hard having just engaged in dual cultivation for an entire day and night he wondered if another session would be too much brother tion I beg you yunu clung to Wong tion's arm her voice sweet and pleading for reasons unknown yunu sensed a subtle change in brother tion igniting overwhelming desire within her to meld into his being this was the terrifying Allure of her innate charm earlier the two mysterious Beauties from the daa kingdom had approached Wong tion influenced by a similar innate Allure very well but only this once more Wong tion gently wrapped his arms around yun's slender waist then leaned down to plant a soft kiss on her delicate lips this single kiss rendered yunu weak her gaze becoming once more dreamy Yu's arms as soft as Lotus Roots entwined around Wang 's neck and she rose on her tiptoes to reciprocate the kiss with fervor soon the two were intertwined the ancient magical Pearl the seven colored feathers and the dabell combined upon yunu causing her spiritual energy to Surge at an astonishing Pace es their dual cultivation commenced the energy within her swelled quickening her breath brother tion I Adore You yunu murmured embracing Wong tion her lips teasingly bitten having already loved Wong tion deeply the addition of his innate charm left her utterly entranced and unable to extricate herself I adore you as well Wong tion embraced yunu tenderly kissing every inch of her on that stormy evening outside the city Gates of yining the Crown Prince da silver armor wielding the bang langian spear as he gazed solemnly at the city a kilometer away his brow furrowed it had been 10 days since the siege of yining commenced yielding no progress and their Retreat had been cut off by the Longway Army leaving him stranded as a lone sold what troubled him most was not merely the lack of advancement but the sacrifice of his comrades Fallen under the Dual assault of The Da Kingdom the Relentless blows had left the typically composed Crown Prince Wong Yin seething with frustration and urgency your highness Heavy Rain is imminent it is unwise to continue the assault we should Retreat to baong a middle-aged man holding a white feather fan approached briskly old Gua I cannot bear to leave like this having lost Shen hauan and shangra pass my third brother is dead while the fourth remains Carefree in the capital soon to ascend the throne in 3 days Crown Prince Wong Yin clenched his fists tightly his eyes filled with anger and resentment just then a thunderous clap reverberated through the sky as If Heaven itself sympathized with the crown Prince's plight the rain began to fall in a gentle patter from the heavens drenching the steadfast figure of The Prince and splashing angrily around him your highness even if you feel discontent it is feudal suenan that fox has amassed heavy troops in yining and cut off our retreat with the Longway Army we are out of supplies if we continue we risk total Annihilation wi zitong urged anxiously the Crown Prince remained silent his Fierce gaze fixed upon yining he felt a deep sense of frustration if he could capture yining the supply issue would be resolved and the city lay less than 10 km from the capital surrounded by Plains seizing yining would equate to taking half the capital yet the city's Gates were too fortified enhanced by formations that sapped the strength attack power and defense of any soldier who approached as long as this formation stood breaking through yining was impossible after a prolonged silence this battle hardened Prince reluctantly decided to withdraw old Gua prepare for retreat just as the Crown Prince made this decision a bolt of crimson lightning suddenly descended from the sky striking the defensive formation of yining the immense energy of the lightning obliterated the city's defenses causing the entire structure to tremble witnessing this the crown Prince's previously hopeless gaze flickered with renewed Hope Heaven is aiding me the defensive formation of yining has been shattered seize this opportunity to take yining Victory hinges Upon This Moment Crown Prince Wong Yin commanded excitedly however Guiton remained more rational he gazed up at the sky though lightning coursed through the clouds he pondered why it would strike precisely at Yin City and why this bolt was red certainly not a typical lightning strike your highness I find this lightning rather suspicious we should proceed with caution was zitong advised this is Heaven's assistance to me if we hesitate any longer we shall lose the opportunity to seize the capital the Crown Prince Wong Yin thought fervently he was unwilling to depart empty-handed now that the Heavenly Thunder had breached Yin City's defenses it had granted him a chance to turn the tide this only solidified his resolve to continue the assault seeing the crown Prince's determination guit song felt it prudent to offer no further counsel and departed to carry out his orders well aware that while this course of action was fraught with risk the potential rewards were immense the rain intensified and under Wong Yan's command the 300,000 strong Army Advanced from the east west and North leaving the south gate unguarded this created an opportunity for the Defenders of Yin City to flee instilling in them the notion that escape was preferable to death thereby diminishing their will to resist fiercely that of course he had also laid an ambush along the route of retreat ensuring that anyone attempting to flee would meet their demise Midway this was a classic strategy of surrounding three while leaving one out it must be said that the Crown Prince was indeed very experienced in Warfare a fierce battle unfolded amidst the thunderstorm with corpses strewn across both the city and its surroundings the blood staining the walls a deep Crimson on a hill 10 km away two enigmatic women stood in a pavilion gazing at Yen City my lady your strategy of invoking lightning to breach their defenses has proven effective the Crown Prince has commenced against his Assault The Sword wielding woman exclaimed with excitement the crown Prince's morale must have waned after prolonged attacks yet he is unwilling to withdraw be why utilizing the lightning rod to dismantle Yin City's defenses I have fortified their resolve to continue fighting the masked woman replied a subtle smile gracing her lips as if everything lay within her grasp as long as both sides continue to exhaust each other our advance from De you will be all the more effortless indeed let them Clash fiercely it would be ideal if the long way Army were drawn into the fry as well the sword wielding woman's expression hardened slightly very well let them battle it out we must make our way to tyan Longman the eighth Prince surely cannot bear the thought of the throne falling into the hands of the fourth Prince the masked woman stated coolly understood my lady the sword wielding woman replied and together they vanished from The Pavilion the rain continued unabated through the night while wongon and yunio engaged in a passionate dual cultivation yunio particular ularly enthusiastic seemed eager to merge herself entirely with Wong tion's being brother tion I believe I have ascended to the midstage of the first rank yino exclaimed excitedly having not yet dawned her garments reving in the realization of her Newfound strength your rate of improvement is astonishing wongon expressed his surprise at yuno's rapid cultivation progress yet influenced by her advancement his own cultivation had also surged significantly bringing him closer to the late stage of the celestial Realm yes all thanks to you brother tion yunio gazed at him with adoration her attachment to him deepening this is all a result of your hard work Wong tion gently ruffled her hair before donning his clothes in preparation to depart I must be on my way now I shall visit you again in a few days brother tion must you leave so soon I cannot bear to part with you yunio clung to him from behind her eyes filled with reluctance I will return I promise I shall come to see you again in a few days besides in half a month we shall be wed Wong tion said with affectionate Indulgence very well yino acquiesced to the temporary separation but then recalled something and shifted the subject be why the way brother tion did you not wish to learn about the situation and you I can take you to meet my father now excellent let us go find your father Wang tion shared her eagerness to uncover all there was to know about do you for knowledge of both friend and foe leads to victory in every battle After exiting the secret chamber yunio led wongon to her father Yun jongi study upon seeing wongon enter Yun jongi hurriedly Rose to greet him King janon you could have informed me of your arrival I would have been prepared to welcome you Yun jongi said warmly Wong tion always concealed his presence during visits leaving Yun jongi unaware of his arrival father brother tion has come seeking information about de you yuno explained her gaze lingering on Wang tion her eyes shimmering with affection Yun jongi immediately sensed His Daughter s growing fondness for Wang tion igniting a sense of urgency within him with their wedding set to occur in half a month His Daughter s infatuation with King Ganon posed a dilemma but he quickly composed himself your timing is impeccable King jinon ever since you occupied Shan hauan and shangra pass I have been diligently gathering information on them and I have amassed quite a bit Yun jongi stated that is Splendid please Yun Pavilion Master share the details with me Wong tion replied enthusiastically I in the past thousand years do you has been lying low externally they faint submission to the deian dynasty yet behind the scenes they have been developing at an astonishing Pace Yun jongi continued with a grave expression after a millennium of growth de's population has exceeded 100 million their people are Fierce and formidable each one could be considered a born Soldier however due to their Northern location the spiritual energy is sparse resulting in a lower likelihood of producing martial arts Masters consequently their sects are generally weaker than ours in the deian dynasty yet in recent centuries they seem to have discovered a natural spiritual vein in the back Sea Lake leading to a rapid increase in their top tier experts including several who have reached the celestial realm notably their Empress Empress since when did do you have a female Emperor Wong tion furrowed his brow in confusion for he believed that both du and the deian dynasty followed a male lineage for power succession rendering women unable to inherit the throne this Empress is indeed formidable it is said that when she was born auspicious signs appeared across the you however following her birth she vanished without a trace a century later she emerged from back Sea Lake single-handedly vanquishing all who opposed her ultimately ascending to the throne of du since her Ascension duk National strength has surged the previous Emperor three attempts to conquer de you were repelled and he was severely wounded in the process. I see this Empress is quite impressive what is her name Wong tion inquired curiosity Peak for the first time regarding this to you Empress her name is sujian Sheen Yun jongi replied earnestly s Eugene Sheen that name sounds familiar Wong tion mused soon recalling a detail that changed his expression the masked woman I encountered at the tea house a couple of days ago was also named Su Jan Sheen could it be mere coincidence that masked woman appeared to be from De and bore the same name with a level of power that Wong tion could not perceive with all these factors combined Wong tion harbored strong suspicions that the masked woman might indeed be the DU Empress if she were truly the empress what could be her purpose in coming to the dean Dynasty Wong tion felt a sense of urgency suspecting that the DU Empress s covert visit to the deian dynasty was likely part of a scheme thank you Pavilion Master Yun for providing this intelligence I shall take my leave now if any crucial information regarding the you arises please inform me at once wongon felt an imperative to return to his training the DU Empress had already taken the initiative if he did not act promptly the deian dynasty might very well face obliteration at the hands of du after speaking Wong tion turned to leave as he vanished from sight yuno's gaze lingered reluctant to withdraw observing this Yun jangy side deeply do Sher I understand you are fond of King janon but you are betrothed to the sixth Prince you must maintain your distance from him he advised earnestly to I understand father I shall go and cultivate now yuno replied dismissively before disappearing Without a Trace Yun jongi noticing his daughter's nonchalant demeanor was deeply concerned that she might bring trouble upon herself and King jenton potentially putting their entire family at risk Upon returning to the Imperial melum wongon hastened towards the tomb of Emperor one the invasion of du coupled with their empress's covert visit made wangon feel that du might be planning significant action soon and he needed to elevate his strength swiftly particularly if Sujin shein's power were indeed Superior to his own it further intensified his sense of urgency the tomb of Emperor one located adjacent to that of Emperor Wu was slightly smaller in scale and lacked the oppressive Aura of Emperor wo's tomb Wong tion pondered whether the dragon soul had imparted any instructions to Emperor one regardless of whether he had or not he resolved to explore within the tomb of Emperor one was similarly protected by a dragon energy barrier yet with Wong ton s current mid-stage Celestial realm strength this barrier posed little challenge upon easily entering the tomb he was immediately met with a fierce gust of wind what a potent wind energy Wong tion activated his dragon energy to envelop himself shielding against the onslaught of the Winds it seemed emperor when possessed a wind Affinity which explained the intense wind energy within the tomb suddenly Wong tion recalled that the wind God sect founded by emperor when initially sought to recruit individuals with wind affinities but over time it had expanded to include talents of other affinities as well thatas he stepped into the courtyard of the Tomb the wind seemed to sense the intrusion escalating in intensity until it culminated in a massive tornado hurtling towards Wong tion it appears that entering the tomb of Emperor one will not be easy Wong tion's expression turned serious as he retrieved the phoenix feather fan from the depths of the system space to confront wind with wind he infused the fan with the dragon energy of the celestial realm instantly the fan emitted a blinding Radiance accompanied by a faint sound resembling a Phoenix's CR wide as the phoenix feather fan accumulated its maximum energy Wong tion forcefully waved it towards the tornado before him I in that moment a powerful gust of wind transformed to a colossal Phoenix soaring with a piercing cry towards the tornado as if intending to shatter everything in its path the two forces of wind energy collided instantaneously yet rather than erupting in Conflict they merged into one another more precisely the tornado swiftly engulfed the Wind Phoenix emanating from the phoenix feather fan augmenting its own might in the process could it be this tornado is capable of devouring energy Wong tion was momentarily bewildered quickly realizing that since the phoenix feather fan wielded wind energy it might be incapable of inflicting harm upon it faced with the increasingly formidable tornado wongon was compelled to unleash the nine transformations of the golden dragon technique after cycling the dragon energy nine times the dragon soul Mark reappeared on his body and his overall strength surged tenfold while his eyes glowed a fierce Crimson the nine Dragon Palm confronting the approaching tornado wongon struck out with a powerful Palm causing nine golden dragons to Surge forth with unmatched might as if they sought to Ren the heavens and the Earth asunder the nine Golden Dragon energies collided with the vast tornado intertwining rapidly the tornado attempted to consume the nine Golden Dragon energies but their overwhelming power shattered the tornado instead countless gusts of wind energy scattered forth and the tornado's strength gradually diminished after a brief interval the tornado was utterly dismantled and the wind energy within the grand melum Courtyard settled akin to a once while stallion now submissive before a commanding presence it was at this moment that a resounding voice resonated from within the melum young one you are quite impressive indeed as your father Emperor has remarked you possess remarkable Talent however if you wish to borrow my treasures you must first endure my trial s The Voice echoed the grand doors of the melum swung open with a thunderous sound seemingly welcoming wongon inside this was the first time wongon witnessed the mum's doors opening of their own accord yet he felt no overwhelming Joy the Marshal Emperor had indeed spoken of him to the literary Emperor but he had not anticipated that he would still need to undergo a trial with a sigh Wong tion assumed that with the Marshal Emperor's decree it would be a straightforward matter to reach the literary Emperor yet it appeared that he would as before have to overcome obstacles to touch the remains after adjusting his mindset Wong tion stepped into the melum as soon as he entered the grand doors slammed shut behind him and a 30 m long wind Divine dragon soul materialized before him young one I have encountered my ancestor Wong tion did not dare to be neglectful and quickly bowed in respect after all it was his ancestor and a bow was only fitting your father has spoken of you the literary Emperor's dragon soul remarked it te such a young age you have cultivated to the human Immortal Realm truly an unprecedented Talent the literary Emperor's dragon soul expressed admiration for Wong ton his tone much gentler compared to that of the Marshal Emperor evoking a sense of comfort you honor me with your praise ancestor I merely encountered fortunate opportunities which led me to my current level Wong tion humbly replied I have great expectations for you if you can defeat me you may take any Treasures from this melum at your leisure and I shall also pass on the Wind Divine SE to you the literary Emperor dragon souls solemnly promised you wish to pass the second best sect in the world to me Wong tion exclaimed cled in astonishment this was their first meeting and his ancestor was already offering to bestow upon him the second most prestigious sect in the realm what an unexpected Delight indeed but you must defeat me using only your dragon soul the use of your physical body is prohibited the literary Emperor had already witnessed the might of Wong tion's physical form the nine transformations of the golden dragon technique was a renowned skill of his father the Marshall Emperor and he was well aware of its potency thus this time he sought test Wong tion's dragon soul prowess in no problem Wong tion readily acquiesced summoning his 45 M long Golden Dragon from his Danon the moment the golden dragon soul manifested it struck the literary Emperor with awe you your dragon soul is the Dragon King soul and it has reached such a formidable length the literary Emperor had initially presumed that a child under 20 years of age regardless of their talent would find it remarkable merely to cultivate a dragon soul however witnessing The Dragon King Soul larger than his own left him utterly flabbergasted chapter 126 the literary Emperor's grief gazing at the massive golden dragon soul suspended in the air the literary Emperor's dragon soul was rendered speechless ask this truly your dragon soul his words stumbled forth hardly coherent too have cultivated a dragon king Soul at such a young age and to have grown it to such an alarming size this was something even the first emperor had not achieved at that age indeed that is my dragon soul and ancestor When shall we commence the trial Wong tion urged his impatience evident the literary Emperor's dragon soul regarded Wong tion's Colossal dragon king Soul feeling an immense pressure emanating from it if a confrontation were to ensue he feared he might be bested by wongon instead should that occur it would not be a trial for wongon but rather a trial for him young one I suddenly recall that my father instructed me that there is no need to test you take whatever you desire from the treasures within this the literary Emperor's dragon soul hastily concocted a plausible excuse perfectly masking his own trepidation how embarrassing would it be for an ancestor to be unable to best a younger generation so that's the case you should have mentioned it sooner Wong tion felt a wave of relief wash over him reassure that the Marshall Emperor indeed kept his promises you may now retract Your Dragon King Soul this melum is quite secure devoid of any traps or formations the literary Emperor's dragon soul fed calmness though Wong tion's dragon soul exerted a significant amount of pressure on him making him uncomfortable all right wongon nodded then proceeded to retract his golden dragon soul back into his Danon with his dragon soul returned he inquired ancestor may I now take a look at your cultivation resources certainly my spiritual coffin lies at the deepest part of the melum however before that I wish to ask you how you managed to cultivate your dragon soul to such a level the literary Emperor's dragon soul could not help but inquire too have reached this level before the age of 20 must involve some extraordinary methods otherwise such rapid cultivation would be implausible like the Marshall Emperor the literary Emperor had passed away yet their dragon souls persisted Theo Advanced further they could only cultivate their dragon souls Wong tion had not anticipated that the literary Emperor's dragon soul would pose this question having deceived him once he felt little hesitation in doing so again ancestor simply live as if you are a dragon emulate the way a Dragon lives and cultivates and you shall find success Wong tion earnestly fabricated a response to live as a dragon the literary Emperor's dragon soul murmured and suddenly his Dragon Eyes brightened why did I not consider such an approach to cultivation all this time I have been utilizing human reasoning to cultivate my dragon soul yet the results have been minimal that it turns out I must embody a true dragon in my cultivation the literary Emperor's dragon soul experienced an epiphany ancestor you might want to give it a try the Marshal Emperor's dragon soul found it effective Wong tion instinctively suggested he too was eager to verify whether cultivating the dragon soul in accordance with a dragon's nature would indeed enhance efficiency excellent the literary Emperor's dragon soul filled with anticipation promptly closed his eyes contemplating the life habits of dragons and began to coil up for meditation having slain numerous dragons and interacted extensively with their kind he possessed a Prof found understanding of their way of life dragons indeed coiled up while cultivating as Wong tion observed the literary Emperor's dragon soul entering a state of cultivation he seized the opportunity to venture deeper into the melum he encountered no traps or obstacles along the way just as the literary Emperor's dragon soul had mentioned this melum was remarkably secure upon reaching the innermost sanctum wongon discovered a silver white spiritual coffin resting there which appeared to be a double coffin adorned with swirling wind energy with his strength at the celestial realm these wind energies posed no challenge with a gentle sweep he dissipated the wind energy without a trace a double coffin presumably for the literary Emperor and his Empress offered the possibility of multiple encounters W tion felt a surge of joy as he eagerly began to remove the coffin lid piece by piece once the lid was lifted a fragrance scent wafted forth the Hallmark of a corpse from the celestial realm what Treasures might he uncover from the remains of the literary Emperor filled with anticipation Wong tion leaned in only to find a single translucent skeleton lying within the coffin surrounded by dense wind energy beside the skeleton was an empty space contrary to Wong tion's expectations there was not a second skeleton within the double coffin why is there only one skeleton this is clearly a double coffin Wong tion glanced around the silver white coffin which was indeed large enough to accommodate two adhering to Royal burial Customs yet the absence of a second SK skeleton left him perplexed setting aside those thoughts he resolved to proceed with the blind box not wishing to waste time on such matters Wong tion took a deep breath and filled with anticipation extended his hand toward the literary Emperor skeleton the moment his hand made contact with the bones the systems voice resounded ding congratulations to the host for acquiring a Heavenly great corpse and obtaining the wind God physique too have acquired the wind God physique was an exhilarating stroke of Fortune for Wong tion this was one of the most prec prestigious Elemental physiques in the tonan continent with this physique he would be able to manipulate wind energy at will furthermore he recalled the literary Emperor's earlier promise to pass on the Wind God sect I wonder if he still stands by his word The Mention Of The Wind God physique rekindled Wong tion's memory of the promise made by the literary Emperor Wong tion had initially harbored concerns about his ability to contend with the formidable Elders of the shin Fong sect however with the acquisition of the wind God physique even the most obstinate of those Elders would have no choice but to submit yet before that could transpire he needed to gain the approval of the one Emperor after all he was the founding patriarch of the shenon sect without the slightest hesitation Wong tion proceeded to absorb the wind God physique as it integrated into his being a torrent of wind type spiritual energy surged toward him and he instantly sensed the Wonder and Allure of the wind the wind God physique soon melded completely within him was this the essence of the wind wongon attempted a forward gesture and a small Whirlwind materialized in the air lingering for quite some time before dissipating such an extraordinary energy it was far gentler than dragon energy yet its power was no less formidable Wong tion was thoroughly pleased with the wind God physique After experiencing it for the first time he couldn't help but wonder what he might discover upon a second encounter given that a Celestial great corpse could yield at least two rewards Wong tion did not hesitate to extend his hand once more toward the translucent remains ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse and acquired The Immortal Technique wind scroll remaining clouds too his astonishment it was a wind-based Immortal Technique this was a tremendous windfall Wang tion was overjoyed having received top tier rewards on both occasions he pondered what further Treasures awaited him should he attempt once again after suppressing his excitement he reached out to The One Emperor remains but this time the system did not announce any rewards was that it just two times reluctantly Wong tion continued to feel around several more times but no system rewards materialized confirming his suspicion that no further rewards could be obtained it seemed the one Emperor s strength was somewhat inferior to that of the Marshall Emperor allowing only two touches accepting this outcome swiftly Wong tion shifted his gaze to the one Emperor's burial Treasures since no further rewards could be gleaned from the remains he resolved to compensate with the accompanying Treasures the coffin was filled with numerous rare and even extinct artifacts the stabilizing wind Pearl purifying Soul water Celestial grade manuals and the red dust Stone Wong tion examined each item growing increasingly exhilarated each treasure would inight Fierce competition among experts if brought to the outside world yet now all of it belonged to him the presence of purifying Soul water meant another material at his disposal Wong tion promptly stored the purifying Soul water in his system space of the nine materials Elder xishu had instructed him to gather he had now collected six the remaining linglong wood and Jang Iron Heart should be found within the Imperial treasury he would search there later although the coffin contained many Treasures Wong tion did not take them all instead he selectively chose those Celestial great items that would be beneficial to him after borrowing the cultivation resources he carefully replaced the coffin lid then adjusted his mood before departing this was the easiest time Wong tion had ever experienced in borrowing resources but he understood that it was due to the Marshall Emperor having given prior notice next time it would not be so effortless especially within the melum of the first emperor where obtaining anything would undoubtedly prove quite challenging Upon returning to the center of the melum the one Emperor had just awakened young man your method truly works wonders I end such a brief moment the power of my dragon soul has significantly increased the one Emperor's dragon soul exclaimed with enthusiasm having cultivated for nearly 10 Millennia his progress had always been excruciatingly slow yet after Wong tion's guidance he realized he had been practicing incorrectly confirming this once more Wong tion felt a surge of curiosity about the cultivation method he had suggested could it truly be effective he resolved to try it himself next time however before that Wong tion had another matter to attend to ancestor you promised to pass the shanong sect toy does that still hold Wong tion inquired directly cutting through any pretense the shanong sect was the second ranked sect in the tonan continent if he could subdue it his own power would increase dramatically of course it stands the one Emperor's dragon soul finally recalled having indeed made that promise with Wong tion's prodigious Talent if he were to inherit the shanong sect he would undoubtedly elevate it to new heights though some concerns lingered I will transfer the shanong sect to you but be warned the elders may not easily accept you that is something you must manage on your own the one Emperor's dragon soul cautioned and no problem Such trivial matters I can resolve in mere moments wangon felt confident about subduing the Elders of the shin sect With the Wind God physique those old geers would be waiting to obediently submit additionally when you visit the shanong sect I need you to attend to another matter for me the one Emperor dragon soul said his tone suddenly somber what matter Wong tion instinctively inquired I in the Forbidden area of the shinon SE rear mountain lies a sealed coffin once you arrive help me unseal it after 9,000 years it is time for her to be fully purified and allow her soul to find peace the one emperor dragon soul side chapter 127 the tactics of the Empress of Da Wang tion discerned a deep sense of regret and Melancholy in the one Emperor's words ancestor who lies within that sealed coffin Wong tion could not help but ask out of curiosity someone who should have been by my side the one Emperor side again and a silver white token flew from him Landing before Wong tion this is the shenon order it represents me within the shanong sect with it you can take command of the shanong sect but whether the Elders will accept you depends on your abilities thank you ancestor Wong tion received the silver white token with both hands observing the dense wind energy it exuded he did not delve deeper into its Essence but instead stored the shenon order in his system space reflecting on the one Emperor's earlier words someone who should have been by his side Wong tion suddenly recalled the empty space beside the one emperor in the coffin at the deepest part of the melum could it be that the one sealed within the coffin was the one Emperor's Empress who else could possibly lie beside the one Emperor except for his Empress yet historical texts seemed to record that the one Emperor had never taken an empress a flicker of Doubt crossed Wong tion's mind evidently there was an untold story buried beneath the surface one not documented in the annals of history when you visit the shinon sect do not forget what I have entrusted to you the one Emperor's dragon soul reminded once more rest assured I shall not disappoint you wongon reaffirmed after concluding these matters he exited the melum first I shall pay a visit to the shinon sect this will not only fulfill the one Emperor's wish but also allow me to extract numerous rewards from the sealed corpse having made up his mind Wong tion dawned his mask and soared directly toward the shin Fong sect meanwhile within the grand hall of the tion long sect the eth prince wangqing was engaged in discussions regarding significant matters with the sect leader and several Elders news from the capital indicated that the first prince had led his Northern suppression Army to conquer yining resulting in considerable losses on both sides the eighth Prince wangqing unfolded a letter and presented it to the sect leader ly xiaoyong the sect leader ly xiaoyong over 300 years old appeared to be in his 30s exuding an air of ethereal Grace after briefly scanning the letter handed to him by the eighth Prince he turned his gaze to the assembly what are your thoughts on the conflict between the first prince and the fourth Prince When the clam and the snipe contend it is the fisherman who benefits if Prince Gong does not wish to remain cooped up in the ton long sect he should take action when they are both weakened one of the elders Grand Elder xang Xiao stated after exchanging glances with the others the grand Elder aged over 200 still bore a youthful appearance indicating that both he and the sect leader had transcended to the realm of Immortals or even higher the clam and the snipe contend well said Grand Elder the eighth Prince concurred ever since being ambushed by the fourth Prince wangqing had yearned for Revenge day and night but to achieve that alone would require at least 20 years time he could not afford to waste wait fortunately the first Prince's Rebellion provided an opportunity for Revenge he was eager to see such a favorable chance yet the sect leader still displayed some hesitation what is your stance SE leader ly xiaoyang again directed his gaze toward the elders I too concur with the grand Elder when the clam and the snipe contend it is the fisherman who benefits should we manage to support Prince Gong to the throne The Prestige of our ton long sect would significantly Elevate across the tonan continent another Elder chimed in D disag suddenly an elderly man with long hair and a beard stood to oppose our ton long sect stands independent from the Marshal world we should steer clear of courtly disputes although we are the foremost sect in the tonan continent our overall strength cannot rival that of the Court especially considering the capitals Dragon guard array it is unlikely we could breach the formidable formation laid down by the first emperor this was also a concern that sect leader ly xang shared despite the ton long sect status as the premier sect of the tonin continent they paled in comparison to the daian dynasty second Elder your considerations are valid under normal circumstances Aron long sect indeed lacks the strength to confront the court but with the first and fourth princes at odds the Court's power has been significantly diminished moreover the eth prince is Prince Gong and rightfully entitled to the throne arong sex involvement would to some extent symbolize the legitimacy of the Court Grand Elder xang Xiao countered precisely I also support the grand Elders Viewpoint the eth Prince is Prince Gong whereas the fourth Prince is merely a usurper he deserves to be eradicated another Elder added his tone imbued with righteous fervor we concur this is a rare opportunity if another sect seizes the initiative our reputation as the foremost sect may be at stake the other Elders also rallied in support the eth prince felt a surge of elation with so many Elders backing him his hopes of ascending to the throne grew ever brighter the sect leader ly xiaoyong observed that the major of the elders were in agreement after a moment of contemplation he too acquiesced primarily due to the overwhelming ambition of L hushen which was backed by the chancellor should the fourth Prince Ascend to the throne it could potentially lead to the court vigorously supporting L hushen posing a significant threat to their ton long sect furthermore the eighth Prince and the fourth Prince were sworn enemies delaying action would leave them at a disadvantage once the fourth Prince ascended since everyone was in accord let us commence preparations to Journey North SE Le ly xiaoyong concluded this deliberation persisted until the late hours of the night after which the grand Elder xang Xiao hurried back to his cultivation quarters upon his arrival he found two stunning women awaiting him Elder Jang how did your discussions F inquired the veiled woman leisurely sipping tea while Seated on a sandalwood chair reporting to the esteemed one the sect leader has consented to our tea onong sex advance to the capital xang Xiao replied respectfully bowing despite being the grand Elder of ton long suct with the prowess of a Celestial being he exhibited exceptional deference towards this masted woman excellent you have performed admirably the masked woman praised it is my honor to serve the esteemed one xang Xiao responded a hint of trepidation in his tone before continuing in a hushed voice esteemed one I have completed the tasks you assigned When shall I receive the antidote for the poison once your eighth Prince ascends I shall provide you with the antidote and additionally I will support you in becoming the leader of ton long sect the masked woman stated taking another sip of tea her gaze fixed on the grand Elder leaving him utterly captivated upon hearing the prospect of becoming the sect leader a glimmer of excitement sparkled in xang xia's eyes rest assured I shall exert every effort to assist the eighth prince in his rise he declared emphatically here take this tanging pill upon consumption you will be able to break through to the midstage of celestial realm the masked woman said tossing a pill into his hands thank you for bestowing the pill esteemed one I am deeply grateful xang Xiao exclaimed accepting the pill with unrestrained gratitude the celestial realm is but a trifle the masked woman scoffed curling her lips disdainfully with a wave of her hand both women vanished from the room when they reappeared they found themselves 10 km above the ground enveloped in Moonlight that accentuated their etherial presence mistress do you truly intend to support the eighth Prince's Ascension asked the sword-bearing woman woman ly in her brow furrowed what is the eighth Prince after all do you believe he is worthy of being the ruler of this realm the M woman replied nonchalantly certainly not only the mistress is worthy of such a title lining asserted with reverence before a realization struck her the mistress must think that the Rivalry between the two princes lacks excitement hence dragging the eighth Prince into this fry will expedite the internal strife within the great Shen Dynasty while simultaneously depleting the strength of tion long sect OU are not entirely foolish the masked woman acknowledged with a nod then mistress where shall we head now linning instinctively inquired go the shinon sect the masked woman declared her enchanting gaze directed towards a distant Peak the location of the shin Fong sect having effortlessly dealt with the foremost sect they deemed the second ranking Shin Fong sect to be even more manageable chapter 128 my opposition is Dawn broke Disciples of the shinung sect were already rising to practice their cultivation suddenly a resounding Copper Bell told throughout the shin Fong sect its echoing chime reverberating with an almost immediate effect across the entire sect I in the next heartbeat all Elders of the shin Fong sect hastened towards the main hall for this Bell was only rung during significant events within the grand hall the scholarly and ethereal sect leader Fong Chong sat prominently at the head of the table flanked by solemn-faced Elders who gazed intently at the two captivating women at the center of the hall one of the women dawned a flowing red gown cradling a Scarlet sword her demeanor aloof while the other wore a white dress her face veiled exuding an enchanting Poise her long hair cascading casually behind her radiating an invisible aura that commanded respect Fong sect leader I am Sujin Sheen the leader of the Hong sect I have come to represent the hongu sect in discussing an alliance with your shin Fong sect the white clad woman articulated smoothly. the fourth ranked sect on the tonan continent the honga sect was the only one among the top five that did not reside within the great Chen Dynasty's territory is it truly suitable for your hongu sect hailing from the de Kingdom to Journey such a distance to Ally with us Fong Chong replied with a cold demeanor harboring a deep-seated weariness towards the honga sect despite its fourth place ranking the hongu sect possess strength comparable to that of the ton long sect their true prowess concealed beneath layers of secrecy only those who reached the celestial realm would comprehend the true Terror of the Hong sect as the world stood on the brink of great transformation the daa kingdom was destined to rise whereas the great Chen Dynasty having languished for Millennia was on the verge of Decay the willingness of the Hong sect to Ally was a Lifeline extended to the shin Fong sect although Sujin Sheen was in a foreign domain her presence radiated Authority her audacious words incited indignation among the elders present you are exceedingly arrogant the great Chin Dynasty has endured for Millennia for a reason and you a mere Kingdom of Barbarians Dare to Compare yourselves to us the grand Elder you dongji stepped forward in protest indeed what are you da Kingdom to DARE seek an alliance with our Shin sect another Elder echoed defiantly however before he could finish his retort a flash of Sword light sliced through the air severing a lock of hair from his forehead leaving him Frozen and shocked I this the measure of your worthiness to Ally with our shinon sect ly in the sword-bearing woman sheath her sword her expression I see what Eugene Sheen observed the unfolding scene with an unphased demeanor while the expressions of the shin Fong sect Elders shifted dramatically except for the sect leader and the grand Elder none present had discerned how the red-clad woman had drawn her sword this implied that aside from the sect leader and the grand Elder none were capable of opposing her realizing this the elders fell silent in the realm of tianen strength dictated respect the mightier one was the more Authority they wielded a in Alliance with your hongu sect is not out of the question but what advantages would it offer our Shin Fong sect sect leader Fong Chung pondered aloud Jang who sect operated independently receiving no resources from the court thus their loyalty to the court was notably low the most valued aspect for these sects was in fact cultivation resources s Eugene Sheen appeared to anticipate Fong chenk response should we Ally we shall Grant your disciples access to the ho high Lake she proclaimed her words simple yet powerful this statement sent a ripple of excitement through those present the hoi Lake housed the only top tier spiritual Vein on the tonan continent revered by all cultivators as a sacred ground for cultivation the rapid rise of the de kingdoms cultivators could be attributed in part to the existence of this hoi Lake the hoi lake is a resource of The Da Kingdom can your hongu sect truly Grant access Fong Chung inquired maintaining his composure the Hong sect was personally supported by the monarch of the DU Kingdom as I represent the hongu sect I have the authority to make such decisions additionally here is the ginu token it signifies our de Kingdom's Sovereign Authority with this token you may Traverse freely throughout the da Kingdom including access to the ho high Lake Sujin Shin declared tossing a golden token to Fong Chong upon receiving it he examined it closely his expression shifting slightly he realized that this Gene Oken was genuine in the daa kingdom it represented the authority of the female Emperor and possessing it would allow unrestricted access not only to the hiigh lake but even to the Royal Palace clutching the golden token Fong Chong felt a surge of Temptation his cultivation had been stagnant at the peak of the celestial realm for decades with the aid of a top tier spiritual vein he might finally break through to the Earthly Celestial realm not only him but also the other Elders present were equally enthralled even those who had previously opposed the alliance began to reconsider upon seeing the gene you token forming an alliance with your hongu sect is a significant matter I must confer with the elders before responding f CH remarked although he was the leader of the shin Fong sect he did not dare make unilateral decisions particularly with an esteemed Elder overseeing them should he agree to the alliance without consulting the Elder it could lead to unforeseen consequences very well I shall Grant you but an hour to deliberate I shall await your response here in the grand hall suin shein replied unperturbed as she settled into a chair while Lin in stood protectively behind her Fong Chung Rose and summoned the elders to a private discussion at the back of theall all this time all agreed to Ally with the hongu sect recognizing the significance of this Alliance particularly with the Hong sect of the de Kingdom he felt the necessity to consult with the Elder the Elder of the shin Fong sect possessed mid-stage Earthly Celestial realm strength and served as a guardian of the sect without his presence the sect's deterrent power would significantly diminish making it imperative to seek his Counsel on such a critical matter the Elder was in seclusion at top the tonone cliff a location rich in Wind Elemental energy where he had established a wind Gathering a ray to enhance his cultivation from a distance the cliff appeared to be perpetually besieged by swirling tornadoes a truly awe inspiring sight Fong Chong teleported to the summit of ton Fong Cliff gazing upward to behold an elderly man with flowing white hair seated cross-legged at the eye of a swirling Vortex his bare torso radiating a silvery luminescence master I have significant matters to report Fong Chung bowed respectfully what is it the Elder opened opened his eyes a flicker of impatience Crossing his features he despised being disturbed during his cultivation yet he understood that Fong chenk presence indicated the urgency of the matter at hand for he would not have come otherwise the leader of the honga sect of the DU Kingdom seeks to Ally with our shanong sect furthermore he has promised that should the alliance be formed we would have unrestricted access to the Exquisite spiritual veins of the ho high Lake for cultivation as he spoke Fong Chong presented a golden Moon token this is the golden Moon token bestowed by the king of the da Kingdom with it one can Traverse any part of the Kingdom without hindrance the elders murky eyes brightened slightly as he waved his hand taking the golden token into his grasp after a thorough examination he solemnly replied you may agree to the alliance but do not sign the agreement just whye in a few days I shall visit the ho high Lake of the de Kingdom to investigate if they truly Grant access to our shinon sect then we shall proceed with the signing understood master Fong chenk heart soared with joy upon receiving the elders consent moreover with the Elder investigating first they would be spared from certain dangers after obtaining the elders approval Fong Chong returned with a lightened Spirit a an hour later the sect master of Shan Fong sect and the elders reconvened in the grand hall what have you decided sujan with a calm demeanor surveyed them with an air of Tranquility as if she already knew the answer without waiting for their response in a one could resist the Allure of Exquisite spiritual V veins we have made our decision we are willing to Ally with your Hong sect Fong Ching affirmed as eugin satisfaction was palpable yet before she could respond further a resounding voice echoed from outside at I oppose amassed youth leisurely stroe into the grand hall chapter 1129 I represent the wind God and I refuse you at the sound of the voice everyone turned to look including suene upon recognizing the newcomer her previously tranquil expression shifted slightly how can it be him lining the sword wielding woman behind suene also revealed a hint of surprise upon seeing wongon who are you to intrude Upon Our Shin Fong sect Fong Chong exclaimed angrily the other Elders shared in their displeasure at this Uninvited Guest I am the designated successor of your sects founding ancestor tion Wong Wong tion declared producing a silver white token from his spatial system the moment the token appeared the wind spiritual energy within the Shen sect quivered seemingly resonating with the token this this is chk expression changed drastically do as and natural wind spirit body he was acutely sensitive to fluctuations in Wind spiritual energy and he could clearly sense the resonance between the token and the surrounding wind Spirits not only he but all the elders present felt the extraordinary nature of the token indeed this is the shenon token bestowed upon me by the founding ancestor to this token is akin to seeing him Wong tion proclaimed solemnly the shin Fong token Fong Chong and the elders were taken about back this was the highest token of the shin Fong sect a Divine artifact capable of mobilizing the wind's spiritual energy of the entire sect Su Jin's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing the shin Fong token in Wong tion's possession what had initially seemed like a straightforward matter was now fraught with complications however she remained silent observing what Wong tion would do next seeing the shenon token and not paying homage Wong tion in his quest to win them over activated his wind God body a physique even more form able than the natural wind spirit body as he activated the wind God body the wind spiritual energy within the shenon sect surged violently toward him causing the wind energy within his own body to swell dramatically the Golden Dragon Spirit in his Danon sensing the Abundant wind spiritual energy began to convert it into Dragon shei for absorption this sudden anomaly left everyone astonished even suene and lining who turned pale Master this boy is even more formidable than we anticipated should I stri him down with a single sword Lynn en tightened her grip on her Crimson long sword ready to eliminate him to safeguard their interests you are no match for him observe the situation first suene cautioned lining scrutinizing wongon closely too her astonishment in just a few days she could no longer see through him yet there was an undeniable Allure about him that held her gaze captive could it be that he truly possesses the wind God body Fong Ching gasped his mouth Agape large enough to to fit an egg the wind God body was the highest tier of wind type physiques said to have the potential to ascend to become a wind g.in the millennial along history of the shinon sect only one Prodigy with the wind God body had emerged One D the founding ancestor had it not been for a woman who delayed him he might have indeed achieved the status of a wind God could it truly be the wind God body the surrounding wind spiritual energy is being completely absorbed by him such terrifying wind resonance ability surely surpasses even the Master's natural wind spirit body the grand Elder mused and shocked it indeed appears to be the wind God body otherwise the wind spiritual energy would not be reacting so fervently in that moment all the elders were left in awe of Wong tion's physique now do you believe what I say wongon surveyed the crowd once more as he unveiled his wind God body the sect master and Elders of shanong sect had no choice but to accept his claims however to acknowledge his status as the ancestor successor another matter entirely young Master tion while you possess the shinon token and the wind God body to be recognized as the designated successor of our founding ancestor you must also gain the approval of our Elder otherwise even if we concede it would be meaningless Fong chenk tone softened had it only been the shin Fong token Fong Chong would not have so swiftly altered his stance the critical Factor was Wong tion's wind God body which had astonished the elders in a world where power Reigns Supreme strength the to Authority Wong tion was not only powerful but also shrouded in an enigmatic Aura which was the true reason behind Fong Chang's shift in Attitude very well take me to meet the Elder now Wong tion urged eager to thwart the Ambitions of the female emperor of the da Kingdom in subjugating the shenon sect lest the consequences be dire in O need I have arrived suddenly a deep resonant voice echoed from outside followed by the entrance of a white-haired Elder clad in a gray white robe striding in with purpose welcome Elder upon seeing the Elder fonging immediately bowed in greeting welcome Elder the other Elders followed suit Bowing in respect Wong tion instinctively turned his gaze toward the Elder are you the Elder of the shenon sect he inquired tentatively indeed your wind God body and shanong token have drawn the wind spiritual energy of our sect toward you I find myself unable to ignore it the Elder replied with evident annoyance originally engaged in cultivation at top tonone Cliff he had not anticipated the sudden upheaval of wind energy converging upon the grand hall having witnessed such an event for the first time in hundreds of years curiosity compelled him to investigate only to witness Wong tion's wind God body firsthand Elder this is tion Wong the designated successor of our founding ancestor and this is the shenon token Wong tion stated softening his demeanor slightly in the presence of the Elder recognizing the Elder's Superior strength he understood the necessity of humility as the Elder held significant Prestige within the shanong sect I see this token is indeed the shanong token passed down by the ancestor the Elder acknowledged Wong tion's token then do you recognize my status as the ancestor successor Wong tion inquired cautiously certainly since you are the personally acknowledged successor of the ancestor AR Shin sect cannot possibly deny your status the Elder replied succinctly then turned to the assembly declaring loudly > from this day forth this young Master tion Wong shall be regarded as our sect's founding ancestor his word shall carry the weight of the wind God the shinung sect venerates the wind God and by equating Wong tion With the Wind God the Elder conferred upon Him supreme authority Wong tion was taken aback by the elders declaration having not anticipated such an effortless acknowledgement of his status as he pondered this a thought from the Elder reached him telepathically ancestor may I borrow your shin token for a few days I wish to use it for cultivation though the shinon token represented the founding ancestor it was also a Divine artifact particularly beneficial for wind type cultivators of course after the meeting come to see me and you may borrow it for as long as you wish Wong tion responded mentally the token bore his imprint and should the Elder attempt to keep it he could reclaim it with a mere thought once one reached the celestial realm communication through thought became possible very well ancestor the Elder replied nonchalantly though internally he was filled with excitement wongon noed the Elder's change in address realizing that the Elder was indeed interested in the Shen Fong token it became clear that his acknowledgement of Wang tion status was driven by self-interest however reflecting on the situation while the Exquisite spiritual veins were undeniably appealing they belonged to the DI Kingdom and venturing their posed significant risks moreover relying on another's resources would entail navigating their whims in contrast the shin token a wind type Divine artifact offered benefits that could surpass even those of the ex visit spiritual veins for wind type cultivators the Crux of the matter is that the shenon sect does not need to betray the court they can cultivate within their own territory ensuring greater safety and preserving their reputation with the acknowledgement of the ancestor sect leader Fong Chong and the Assembly of Elders all expressed their recognition of Master Wong tion's identity they bowed in unison welcoming the ancestor Fong Chong took the lead in saluting Wong tion with the other Elders following suit since you acknowledge me as your ancestor I hereby issue the first decree Wong tion declared directing his gaze towards Sujin Sheen and her companion that is to refuse the alliance with the hongu sect s Eugene Sheen frowned slightly taken back by this unexpected disdain from wongon who immediately sought to reject their overtures young Master tion you may not fully comprehend the sincerity of our hongu sect the Supreme spiritual vein would be of immense benefit to your shanong sect disciples are you truly certain about rejecting our alliance Su jinin replied calmly I believe I may not sufficiently understand the honga sect but I possess a modum of knowledge regarding you your majesty the Empress of Da Wong ton interjected abruptly this Revelation left the audience astounded chapter 130 the coffin of the Forbidden land Wong tion's words stunned everyone present even Sujin Sheen was taken aback not anticipating that Wong tion would unearth her identity beside her ly in instinctively placed her hand on her Crimson sword a flicker of murderous intent Crossing her face they were enemy territory exposure of their identities could spell dire consequences isn't she the sect leader of the hongu sect how could she also be the Empress of Da the grand Elder udoni expressed disbelief how could the enemy Nations Empress Venture alone into the daian dynasty the skepticism was echoed by others ancestor you must be mistaken how could the Empress of daa possibly come to our Shin sect question sect leader Fong Chong there is no mistake she is indeed Su Jan shein the Empress of dawa her intention in align with our shanong sect may be ulterior wongon asserted his gaze piercing as it fell upon Sujin Shen upon hearing Wong tion's unwavering conviction the crowd began to waver in their disbelief Miss Su is what our ancestor claims true are you truly the Empress of Da does your alliance with our shanong sect Harbor ulterior motives the ancestors sharp Gaze fixated on Sujin Sheen and Lyn in to deceive the shanong sect was an affront he could not tolerate Miss Sue we implore you to clarify Fong Chong and the others urged their eyes Laden with scrutiny under the watchful gaze of such formidable experts Sujin shein remained unperturbed does what he says hold any truth I could just as easily declare him the consort of the Empress of daa would you believe that a slight smirk graced Sue Sheen's lips impudent how dare you mock our ancestor the ancestor sleeve swirled as a sharp gust of wind surged towards Su janen unflinching she waved her own sleeve Conjuring an even more forceful wind that not only dispersed the ancestors attack but also pushed him back a step the ancestors expression shifted despite being midstage in the earth Immortal Realm he had been forced back by a mere flick of her wrist indicating her Superior strength young Master tion I shall Remember You live well for a day will come when you will bow before me Sujin Shin declared her figure Vanishing in an instant accompanied by Lyn and I in their own territory even with her confidence Sujin Sheen dared not linger watching them disappear Wong tion felt a sense of helplessness Sujin Shin's strength eclipsed his by a significant margin likely reaching the Pinnacle of the earth Immortal Realm while it was not beyond the realm of possibility to detain her doing so would come at a great cost to the shinon sect and perhaps even jeopardize his own life as long as this woman Remains the dut Shin Dynasty shall know no peace wongon murmured ancestor she is fled should we pursue the ancestor inquired hastily in on if she wishes to leave none here could catch her wongon shook his head sensing that their paths would cross again however when that time came he would not be the same as he was now after settling the matter at hand wongon recalled the task entrusted to him by the one Emperor be why the way is there a forbidden area on the back mountain of our shinung sect wongon pondered allow indeed that forbidden area was established by our founding ancestor the one emperor without his explicit command no one is permitted entry the ancestor affirmed take me to The Back Mountain the one Emperor specifically instructed me to attend to matters there wongon said eager to uncover the secrets within the coffin certainly the ancestor replied without hesitation leading wongon toward the Back Mountain the Back Mountain of the shanong sect was a cool and rugged terrain where a chilling wind perpetually blew sending Shivers through the bones ancestor this is the forbidden area of our shanon sect the Relentless cold winds render it desolate be cautious upon entering the ancestor advised earnestly concerned for wongan safety as the shin order still relied on him understood you may return now Wong tion dismissed him before entering the Forbidden area wongon scrutinized the surroundings sensing not only the biting cold but also a faint ominous Aura permeating the air why does this forbidden area resemble the black melum at the heart of the Imperial Tomb Wong tion mused furrowing his brow at the chilling winds and The elusive black Aura reminiscent of the depths of the royal Seiler after several cautious observations he confirmed that no danger lingered and stepped inside upon entering the Forbidden area the Ferocious winds rushed towards him causing him to shudder involuntarily so cold this is even chillier than the black melum Wong tion thought swiftly channeling his dragon energy to Shield Against The Frigid blasts the cold within the black melum emanated from ancient ice while the cold wind of this forbidden area were a natural phenomenon a force of the Wilderness vastly more potent with the protection of his dragon energy Wong tion felt somewhat relieved The Forbidden area was vast and desolate far exceeding the dimensions of the one Emperor's melum Wong ton pressed onward step by step as the black Aura thickened with each stride deeper into the heart of the Forbidden area why does this black mist grow dener Wong tion wondered a sense of for boing creeping over him after an hour of traversing he finally discovered a coffin deep within the Forbidden area a silver white coffin identical to that of the one Emperors At Last I have found it there truly is a coffin Wong tion exclaimed exhilarated after such a lengthy search though the dense black mist surrounding the coffin lent an IR equality to the scene thus the source of the black mist was revealed to be emanating from the coffin itself Wong tion's eyes widened in realization The Next Step was to lift the seal how to do so as he approached the coffin he noticed several talismans a fixed to its surface point 7 8 n there are nine talismans in total perhaps peeling them away will lift the seal wongon counted carefully before attempting to peel one of the talisman's off as his hand made contact a pure white light burst forth knocking him back several steps these talismans are not easily removed Wong tion steadied himself brow furrowed in concentration each of the nine talismans harbored mysterious energy and any contact would trigger a backlash he could not use his sword one misstep could destroy the coffin and the remains within he had to rely on his bare hands to peel off the talismans with this in mind Wong tion activated the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique after circulating the dragon energy within his body nine times intricate Dragon seals appeared across his skin amplifying his strength tfold the golden dragon energy enveloped him like a tangible Force creating an intimidating presence now I should be able to withstand the backlash from the talismans taking a deep breath Wong tion again approached the coffin as he neared he reached out to peel the talismans once more a surge of White Energy Shot forth but this time Wong tion did not falter instead he retaliated with a powerful punch with his strength now at mid-stage Earth Immortal augmented by the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique his punch was equivalent to that of a perfected Earth Immortal the White Energy was shattered instantly and the Talisman was successfully removed excellent one down eight remaining Wong tion wasted no time seizing the opportunity while the effects of the nine- turn Golden Dragon technique persisted swiftly peeling off the remaining eight talismans once all nine talismans were removed no further Force obstructed Wang tion from lifting the coffin lid done the nine talismans are removed I should now be able to open the coffin Wong tion's heart surged with anticipation and excitement as he longed to discover who had occupied the thoughts of the one Emperor for nine Millennia with this thought he grasped the coffin lid firmly and exerted Force to gradually shift it aside as the lid was displaced the thick black mist billowed forth Wong tion paid it no mind fully intent on uncovering the coffins contents finally he lifted the lid entirely eager to see who had been cherished by the one Emperor for so many years peering inside he was rendered speechless chapter 131 a 9,000-year romance inside the coffin lay an exquisite beauty adorned in a silver white gown her Visage breathtaking and imbued with an ethereal Grace despite the passage of nine Millennia her form showed no signs of Decay she appeared as though she were merely slumbering within the confines of the coffin this marks the second occasion for Wong tion to behold an intact corpse leaving him utterly astonished after nine Millennia the body remains remarkably preserved suggesting that The Frigid atmosphere surrounding it has contributed to its preservation W tion quickly Associates this with the chilling air enveloping the area the corpse within the obsidian tomb which which remains uncorrupted and Timeless after 10,000 years owes its state to the ancient ice likewise the reason this body has not decayed after 9,000 years lies in the surrounding cold air the essence of both is in fact quite similar how beautiful it is no wonder that even after nine Millennia emperor when still Harbors lingering thoughts of this woman Wong tion scrutinizes the Exquisite Corps noting that both her beauty and physique are flawless yet in his heart he believes that Yun is the most enchanting of all what should be done now should he take her back to present to Emperor WIS dragon soul Wong tion furrows his brow contemplating the idea which seems rather appealing after all there is still an empty space in the emperor's coffin so he might as well bring her back for a joint burial with the emperor however just as his hand approaches the stunning corpse a dense wave of dark energy suddenly eminates from her repelling his hand this dark energy is peculiar instinctively wongon steps back two paces his gaze fixed intently on the dark Aura while simultaneously channeling dragon energy to Shield himself just in case s the dark energy disperses it gradually coalesces ultimately forming a figure that closely resembles the corpse it appears to be the lingering soul of the woman Wong tion is taken aback after nine Millennia her spirit still endures which is undeniably astonishing who are you how did you come to be here the lingering Soul unexpectedly inquires confirming Wong tion's suspicions that she is indeed the remnant of the corpse I am wongon summoned here by Emperor W's dragon soul to find you Wong tion does not conceal his identity from the lingering Soul as there is no need for subterfuge if he intends to take her back to the Royal tomb Emperor wins dragon soul the lingering Soul exhibits a flicker of confusion yes his birth name is Wong GAA Wong tion observes the lingering Soul's perplexed expression deducing that she must have perished prior to the emperor thus familiar with wonga's postumus title indeed upon hearing the name Wonga the lingering Soul's countenance shifts dramatically did Brother GA summon you where is he the lingering Soul suddenly becomes agitated he he called me Wong tion hesitates recalling that the purpose of Emperor whens dragon soul summoning him was to facilitate The Reincarnation of this lingering soul I understand now brother gal wishes to know if I have been purified so that I may reincarnate the lingering Soul's eyes darken suddenly as if she has discerned Wong tion's true intent regrettably she must disappoint him after 9,000 years she remains unpurified with her demonic Aura still potent and even if she were to reincarnate she would inevitably become part of the demon race you are of the demon race Wong tion gasps in astonishment for it is his first encounter with one of their kind and it Dawn on him why historical records lack mention of the Empress of Emperor one the demon race is the common enemy of all Humanity how could Aon demon woman ever find her place in Royal history indeed I am of the demon race and my true name is chinu the lingering Soul acknowledges her identity then promptly inquires once more you still have not disclosed why brother GA summoned you to find me he actually wants to bring you back to the Royal tomb to rest alongside him Wong tion stammers unable to convey the entire truth until a sudden realization strikes him Emperor winds dragon soul wants to inter you with him impossible he would never desire that for it was he who personally laid me to rest here 9,000 years ago sealing and purifying me the lingering soul is entirely incredulous of won's claims as she knows Emperor one intimately he is the Emperor of the daian Dynasty and she is of the demon race forever destined to remain apart even in death this Revelation leaves wangon momentarily astonished he had never anticipated that shenu was interred here by Emperor one himself who had also sealed and purified her such a course of action seems exceedingly cruel yet from Emperor wik words Wong tion surmises that there must be a deeper rationale behind I in truth there is a place reserved for you in the emperor's coffin if you do not believe me I will take you to see Wong tion asserts earnestly he believes that Emperor one was compelled to enter chin you hear due to her demon Heritage and that his intent in purifying her was to facilitate her reincarnation as a human rather than a demon I do not believe it xenu's lingering Soul remains skeptical though a flicker of Hope stirs within her for she deeply understands that brother gal loves her it was merely the pressures of court that forced him to enter her here regardless of your belief you shall see for yourself at the Royal tomb I will take you there now and you need not resist me as Wang tion strides toward the coffin intent on bringing Chen Yu's body back to the Royal tomb she suddenly pushes him away with a surge of dark demonic energy blocking him from reaching the coffin I understand the events of 9,000 years ago perhaps to you humans and demons cannot coexist but to me all beings are equal merely differing in their Paths of cultivation Wong tion pauses momentarily before continuing to persuade her if you trust my words I shall ensure that you and Emperor would reunite though his physical form has perished he is transformed into a dragon soul you have endured 9,000 years of purification your soul has not been entirely purified which may be a sign of Fate furthermore after 9,000 years no one will care whether you are together or not Wong tion speaks at l L uncertain if his words will resonate but he is pleasantly surprised to observe that the force blocking him from chinu has weakened significantly seizing the opportunity he activates his dragon energy and forcefully approaches the coffin swiftly lifting Chen Yu's body the moment his hand makes contact with her corpse a notification chimes in his system ding congratulations host you have touched a level Earth corpse and received city of loved upon hearing this reward Wong tion furrows his brow why has he received city of love from a demon shouldn't it pertain to something related to Demons he has no time to ponder the nature of city of love as he hoists chenk body and ascends into the sky quickly put me down my corpse will Decay if it leaves the shanong sect Chen yuun lingering soul exclaims in a panic not wanting Emperor want to witness her in a state of decay fear not I shall fetch a piece of ancient ice for you ensuring that you may eternally rest beautifully beside Emperor one Wong tion instinctively reassures her and no matter what he is determined to bring Chen back to the Royal tomb although chenu outwardly protests being taken away her soul is rather honest following her body as it ascends in truth while she may not wish to be taken away wongon cannot truly take her even if her physical form is removed her soul can remain within the Forbidden grounds of the shinon sect rear mountain deep down she also yearns to see emperor when once more with the enhancement of the wind God body Wong tion traverses the skies reaching the Royal tomb in merely half an hour Upon returning to Emperor winds melam the dragon soul engaged in meditation suddenly opens his eyes have you completed the task so swiftly has the person in the coffin been reincarnated before Wong tion can steady himself Emperor winds dragon soul eagerly inquires whether or not she is reincarnated you may observe for yourself I have returned her body to you Wong tion replies placing Chu's corpse before the dragon soul upon seeing chin Yu's body the dragon soul trembles you you have brought back Chen uunk body where is her soul has she reincarnated the dragon Soul's primary concern remains whether Chen Yu's Soul has undergone reincarnation yet just as he finishes speaking a Remnant Soul composed of dark demonic energy gradually materializes before Emperor wins dragon soul brother gaw despite the passage of 9,000 years the dragon soul instantly recognizes this as Chen Yu's voice causing him to shudder after nine Millennia they are reunited shenu is it truly you the Dragon Soul's voice quivers his entire form trembling with emotion it is I brother gal shenk's lingering Soul Quivers with excitement never having anticipated that after 9,000 years she would once again meet Brother G time has passed and they are no longer human yet their feelings have not waned with the passage of time chenu why have you not yet reincarnated the dragon soul gazes at Chien yuun lingering soul in shock having presumed that after 9,000 years of purification her demonic energy would have been entirely cleansed and her soul would have been reborn Brother G I too yearn for purification and to be reborn so that I may seek you but fate is cruel the cleansing water has no effect on me 9,000 years have passed yet my demonic energy remains unchanged chinu speaks tremulously her tone Laden with boundless regret and weariness it appears I was naive a mere purification water is ineffective against you it seems we are destined to remain apart the dragon soul size reflecting on the absurdity of returning to square one after 9,000 years what do you mean by destined to remain apart Wong tion interjects displeased with this sentiment and turns to offer counsel you are now a dragon soul while chinu is a lingering Soul though both have lost their corporeal forms their spirits still exist presently no one will care whether you are together or not so why burden yourselves with shackles his words create a crack in the dragon Soul's stubborn heart indeed he is no longer an emperor no one pays him any mind being with a lingering Soul who would truly care however the spirit of the emperor when still found it difficult to persuade himself but what you are no longer human what is there left to cling to Wong tion was truly at a loss for words s a former Emperor why was his perspective so limited this statement suddenly brought a sense of relief to the spirit of the emperor one indeed he was now merely a Dragon Spirit what was there to be concerned about after 9,000 years All Humans had perished what was there left to fear you are right my friend I am no longer human so what am I still holding on to I have come to realize that I wish to be with chinu the spirit of the emperor one declared with new found determination this was a sentiment he had hesitated to voice for 9,000 Years yet today he finally spoke it aloud chenu had waited without complaint for 9,000 years and had at last received her brother ga's heartfelt confession yet this time she has a at brother GA although I am now but a remnant of a soul the dark energy around me remains potent being with me May endanger you chenu did not wish to bring harm to Wonga especially as the demon race still posed a formidable threat to humanity Wong tion felt an urge to curse just as he had persuaded one another was in disagreement being a Matchmaker was truly exhausting miss chinu your ancestor is willing to forsake everything to be with you can you bear to reject him having once faced death what is there left to fear indeed chinu we are both Souls that have transcended the Mortal coil why should we still concern ourselves with worldly matters I lacked the courage before but now I understand while I can still see you let us cherish the present and be together the spirit of the emperor one began to persuade as well this time he genuinely comprehended chinu to be honest when I was buried I had a space left empty in the coffin reserved for you I could not voice it before but now I finally have the opportunity to be interred together with you Shinu do you consent this was indeed an unusual confession While most would ask if you would marry them the spirit of the emperor when asked if you would share a grave with him in life they could not be together but in death they could rest in the same tomb shenu was deeply moved by the words of the emperor one this time she found no reason to refuse I am willing shenu nodded had she possessed a physical form she would surely be weeping profusely but even as a Remnant soul she trembled with emotion excellent I shall lay you to rest alongside your ancestor Wong tion seizing the moment lifted shenu lifeless body and brought it to the side of the emperor when es coffin without hesitation placing her beside his remains I will arrange a frost formation on the coffin ensuring that your physical form remains forever uncorrupted and undying Wong tion lacking Eternal ice could only set up the frost formation to preserve chinu body thank you wongon chinu expressed her heartfelt gratitude had she not encountered Wong tion she might have never seen her brother gaw again in this lifetime let alone muster the courage to be with him in no need for thanks just ensure you both cherish your time together Wong tion replied with a smile before focusing on inscribing the frost formations runes onto the coffin with his master level expertise and formations he quickly completed the frost arrangement. the formation activated the coffin emanated a chilling aura rivaling that of Eternal ice there miss chinu your body shall never Decay Wang tion announced with a smile thank you chinu expressed her gratitude once more young man I am deeply grateful to you without your assistance I may never have seen Shin you again in this lifetime the spirit of the emperor when also voiced his appreciation I in recognition of your efforts on our behalf I bestow upon you a Century's worth of Dragon Spirit power be ready to receive it as the spirit of the emperor when spoke his entire Dragon form radiated a brilliant silver light followed by a pure essence of Dragon Spirit power shooting forth towards wongon as the pristine Dragon Spirit power entered wongon ESP body the Golden Dragon Spirit within his Danon began to joyfully swim about as if savoring the finest Delicacies in the world with the continuous influx of Dragon Spirit power the Golden Dragon Spirit grew at a visibly accelerated Pace Wong tion was overjoyed he had not anticipated the spirit of the emperor one to be so generous offering a century of Dragon Spirit power gratitude indeed this Matchmaker was not in vain after a considerable time Wong tion completely absorbed the centuries worth of Dragon Spirit power allowing his Golden Dragon Spirit to flourish to a length of 47 m signifying that the centuries worth of Dragon Spirit power had granted him an increase of 2 m quite a remarkable gain however after imparting a century s worth of Dragon Spirit Power To Wong tion the spirit of the emperor when felt somewhat weakened having reached 47 m the Dragon Spirit power Advanced further Wong tion was immensely excited and promptly expressed his gratitude thank you esteemed ancestor for bestowing the Dragon Spirit power upon me beyond the Dragon Spirit power there is another secret I wish to share with you pertaining to the restoration Emperor the spirit of the emperor when mysteriously revealed the restoration Emperor wongon s eyes suddenly brightened this was another saintly figure if he could easily access his remains his strength would experience a significant enhancement yes lean and closer with this secret you shall find it easy to encounter the Dragon Spirit of the restoration Emperor the spirit of the emperor when stated what are we waiting for speak quickly upon hearing that he could easily access the restoration Emperor wongon was filled with excitement chapter 133 Empress kneel and worship me the Dian Dynasty once faced a period of internal Rebellion resulting in the extermination of the royal family and nearly leading to a change of Dynasty fortunately a royal son who had fallen Into Obscurity possessed extraordinary fate one day he attained Enlightenment and ascended in broad daylight with the support of various sects he eradicated the rebels and ultimately restored the daian dynasty ensuring the Empire's continuity for another 5,000 years this individual was none other than the restoration Emperor Wang shio the only person in the daian dynasty to have ascended in broad daylight what does it mean to ascend in broad daylight it signifies that he originally possessed a seventh or eighth tier cultivation level yet through sudden Enlightenment he transcended the subsequent ranks and directly ascended to the realm of human Immortals such a sudden Enlightenment and Ascension are highly contingent upon opportunity and insight not only in the daian dynasty but across the entire tonan continent throughout countless Millennia no more than three individuals have achieved Enlightenment and ascended in broad daylight this illustrates the Rarity of such an Ascension Wong tion was immensely intrigued by the restoration Emperor Wang xio especially regarding the reason behind his sudden Enlightenment After exiting the Tomb of the emperor one Wong tion did not Venture elsewhere but hurried to the Tomb of the restoration Emperor Wong shio at Shin Fong sect Wong tion first experienced the prowess of the Empress of the de Kingdom given his current strength he was not her match thus he needed to seize every moment to cultivate moreover he chose to enter the Tomb of the restoration Emperor for a significant reason he had received a secret from the spirit of the emperor when regarding access to the Tomb of the restoration Emperor which is why he was eager to go there esteemed ancestor I have arrived Wong tion summoned his dragon energy seamlessly stepping into the Tomb of the restoration Emperor with his current midstage Immortal strength the dragon energy restrictions posed no challenge to him upon entering the Tomb of the restoration Emperor Wong tion discovered the courtyard filled with spiritual energy so rich that it seemed to drip with moisture it even formed clouds of spiritual energy and the ground was strewn with various Celestial herbs and spiritual flowers resembling the countless stars in the sky such abundant spiritual energy this could rival the Realms of blessed lands Wong tion was astounded it was his first time witnessing spiritual energy of such potency with so much spiritual energy it would be a disservice to himself not to cultivate coming to his senses Wong tion promptly sat cross-legged on the spot for added security he summoned over 20 swords to guard him after completing these preparations he began to absorb the spiritual energy present in the courtyard of the Tomb while Wong tion was immersed in his cultivation in a secluded estate the stunningly beautiful suene exion was playing chess with an elderly man clad in a gray Dost robe the two exchanged moves having played dozens of turns without a Victor emerging your majesty your chess skills have improved yet again soon I shall have nothing left to teach you the old man said with a smile of satisfaction it is all due to your excellent teaching sujan exine replied with great respect during the conversation a woman dressed in a flowing red gown hurriedly entered M Lord I bring good news during the grand Prince's assault on the capital he was once again ambushed by the dragon might Army pressured he is now making a desperate allout attack on the capital lying reported bowing respectfully as anticipated suene exine remarked delicately picking up a chest piece and nonchalantly placing it on the board the capital is protected by the dragon Guardian formation given the grand Prince's strength he has little hope of breaking through the old man in the gray robe spoke while also placing a piece on the board surrounding one of suene ex's white pieces entirely within 5 days he will meet his demise in the capital the old man methodically removed the dead piece from the board I have lost this piece but I still possess another I can still muddle the game Eugene exine raised her delicate hand producing another white piece that not only disrupted the game but also surrounded a cluster of black pieces nearly achieving Victory this move was nothing short of brilliant what news do we have from the eighth Prince suene ex suddenly turned to lining the eighth prince in the Heavenly Dragon sect have dispatched numerous experts to the capital and may join forces with the grand prince in the assault lying reported respectfully your majesty this strategy is commendable the old man in the gray robe praised but he soon shifted the conversation however one must pay attention to the overall situation in chess while you have gained an advantage in the center of the board sometimes Victory or defeat can hinge on the most inconspicuous moves the old man placed a black piece at the edge of the board executing a remarkably clever move the old man in the gray robe chose not to rescue the small cluster of black pieces in the center of the board instead he placed a piece at the very edge preparing for a crucial move that would allow him to capture a large swath of white pieces s Eugene Sheen stared intently at the board for a moment before finally letting out a sigh and conceding defeat you are truly formidable master I have lost the chess skills of your majesty have indeed improved but your overall strategic Vision still requires refinement the old man in Gray remarked after a brief Pause by the way I heard that your recent Mission at the Divine wict did not go well indeed I must not hide the truth from you master a massed man disrupted my plans sujan shein replied candidly without reservation oh a man was able to thwart your plans what has caused you to soften your resolve this is not characteristic of you the old man in Gray responded somewhat surprised I am the Great Moon Kingdom SU jeene Sheen ascended to the throne of empress through ruthless means anyone who dared to obstruct her met with certain death yet now this masked man after disrupting her plans surprisingly did not resort to violence which caught him offg guard master that man is the newly appointed patriarch of the divine wind sect he possesses the divine wind order and their ancestral formation has reached the Earth Immortal Realm to act against him on his own turf would yield no benefits and might even expose my identity suin Sheen explained Ed earnestly though this was not her true intention the newly appointed patriarch of the divine wind sect what is his name the old man in Gray inquired frowning that I believe he is called tion Wong and wears a silver mask Sujin Sheen replied seriously tion Wong wearing a silver mask could he possibly be the sword King of shushan the old man in Gray suddenly connected the dots his voice turning cold your majesty you must either eliminate him swiftly or tame him into a loyal Hound lest he become a significant obstacle to our Endeavors in the Great Moon Kingdom his talent is commendable and He commands the divine wind sect such a person would be a tremendous loss of killed so I wish to subdue him that I wonder if you have any effective methods to turn him into my loyal dog suin Sheen mused having felt an inexplicable attraction to Wong tion from the very first encounter as if he possessed some sort of magical Allure this is a simple task I have here a vial of servitude water if he consumes just a drop he will become completely subservient to you he will not dare stray from your commands the old man in Gray said as he produced a colorless and odorless vial from his sleeve and handed it to suene Sheen thank you master upon seeing the vial of servitude water a ripple of excitement stirred within Sue Sheen's otherwise calm demeanor with this Elixir he would be compelled to kneel and serve her chapter 134 the secret of the restoration Emperor with an overwhelming influx of spiritual energy Wong tion effortlessly Advanced to the late stage of the mortal realm in just 3 days and nights upon opening his eyes he radiated an aura of spiritual energy a testament to the immense energy he had absorbed the spiritual energy here is exquisite it's a Pity that after I drained some the energy in the Imperial melum has become quite scarce I wonder if it will replenish Wong tion mused he had never intended to deplete the energy entirely but his body absorbed it like a sponge leaving him unable to control the intake had the energy not been exhausted he likely would have continued his cultivation I hope the restoration Emperor will not be angered by my actions Wong tion pondered anxiously from the words of the one Emperor's dragon soul he learned that the restoration Emperor Wang xio had also cultivated a dragon soul although he was unaware of its power if the emperor disapproved it was unlikely he would ever lay eyes on the emperor's remains enough of that I have already absorbed it would I truly spit it back out after adjusting his attire Wong tion made his way toward the melum however instead of using the main entrance he circled to the back door indeed the melum of the restoration Emperor had a rear entrance which allowed one to bypass the various traps and guards within this was a secret imparted to him by the one Emperor's dragon soul upon reaching the back won discovered the door smaller than the main entrance yet sufficient for him to enter there truly is a back door the one Emperor did not deceive me entering from here I can avoid all the traps and reach the restoration Emperor coffin directly w on thought cautiously pushing the door open with his hand the door swayed slightly and was not locked it seems the door is not secured could it be that someone frequently enters and exits this way Wong tion glanced around and noticed some telltale signs ah it seems there is the scent of a fox demon on this door Wong tion leaned closer and inhaled deeply detecting a faint trace of the fox Demon's presence having previously interacted with the mountain charm fox demon Clan he was well acquainted with their scent which he recognized immediately this is indeed the scent of a fox demon why would there be a fox Demon's presence in the restoration Emperor's melum this is an Imperial Tomb after all How could a fox demon come and go as it pleases Wong tion wondered perplexed if the fox demon were allowed entry without the restoration Emperor's permission could it be that the emperor had sanctioned it wongon began to piece together the true secret of the restoration Emperor the one Emperor's dragon soul had only mentioned a back door as a hint the real secret likely pertained to this fox demon what was the connection between the fox demon and the restoration Emperor after speculating he pushed the door open and stepped inside inside there was a long dimly lit Corridor illuminated only by the Luminous grass growing along the walls as he traversed the passage wongon again caught a whiff of the fox demons s it was evident that this Corridor was frequented by the fox demon quickening his Pace wongon moved deeper into the corridor and soon a glimmer of light appeared ahead who goes there in the corridor sudden L A Stern voice echoed from the end of the passage before Wong tion could step out the authoritative call halted him in his tracks it seemed his presence had been detected by the restoration Emperor as he contemplated this he respectfully replied I am Wong tion a descendant of the royal family here to pay my respects pay your respects to me step forward the booming voice commanded again Wong tion quickened his steps and emerged from the corridor finding himself beneath a majestic white dragon soul floating above him with imposing presence greetings ancestor Wong tion bowed respectfully to the restoration Emperor the latter surveyed Wong tion from his elevated position scanning him with his Dragon Consciousness upon sensing Wong tion's strength at the late stage of The Immortal Realm a flicker of surprise crossed his Dragon Eyes and his gaze towards wongon shifted how did you learn of the back door to my melum the restoration Emperor interrogated this back door was a closely guarded secret known to very few and and yet an unfamiliar person had managed to breach It Go be candid ancestor I was tasked with guarding the Royal tomb upon seeing a fox demon passed through here I entered to ascertain whether any burial items have been stolen Wong tion replied deliberately withholding the mention of the one Emperor's dragon soul probing the restoration Emperor instead indeed At The Mention Of The fox demon the restoration Emperor's dragon soul lost its composure I believe you must have misperceived no Fox demons have ever entered here he insisted Ed figing calm perhaps that is the case however the royal family has rules anyone who intrudes upon the Royal tomb shall be executed without Mercy should I encounter a fox demon next time I shall not hesitate to strike wongon declared his words carrying a more Sinister Edge the restoration Emperor felt a chill run down his spine under normal circumstances he would have no cause for concern but wongon being at the late stage of The Immortal Realm possessed the capability to eliminate a fox demon prompting a of urgency in him then State your conditions what must be done to spare this fox demon the restoration Emperor deliberated realizing he could only negotiate by offering something of value Wong tion's eyes brightened at this recognizing that the fox demon held significant importance to the restoration Emperor though he remained curious about their relationship ancestor do you then acknowledge the presence of a fox demon here he probed not rushing to demand conditions regardless of whether a fox demon has entered I simply hope that you can turn a blonde mind I should you encounter one in the Royal tomb in the future the restoration Emperor replied after a pause very well what must be done for you to overlook this fox demon Wong tion continued noting the restoration Emperor's Keen interest in the creature further peing his curiosity about their connection however before pursuing that line of inquiry he decided to address his own agenda ancestor I wish to open the coffin and touch your true form wong tion expressed his genuine desire only to be met with a firm ref usal from the restoration Emperor's dragon soul that is not permissible the it is said that entering a tomb for rest is Paramount should you open the coffin it would disrupt my fate I only wish to touch it briefly I will ensure it is sealed again afterward as Wong tion spoke his gaze instinctively fell upon the nearby White Jade coffin and to his astonishment he sensed a familiar Aura emanating from within a trace of that very Fox Demon's presence could it be that the fox demon is concealed within this coffin what a coincidence Wong tion thought to himself realizing that an intriguing spectacle was about to unfold chapter 135 the identity of the fox demon Wong tion had already discerned that a fox demon was concealed within the coffin of the Glorious restoration Emperor yet he refrained from exposing it immediately Master you wouldn't he prevent me from approaching the coffin due to some unsavory entity hidden within would you wongon inquired figting ignorance how could that be the Dragon Spirit of the Glorious restoration Emperor clearly panicked but endeavored to maintain a facade of composure since there is nothing to hide allow me to take a look wongon declared striding purposefully toward the sarcophagus not so fast the Dragon Spirit of the Glorious restoration Emperor swiftly positioned itself in front of wongon issuing a Stern warning if you take another step forward I shall not be gentle with you observing the serious demeanor of the Dragon Spirit Wong tion realized that if he pressed on the master might indeed resort to force prompting him to halt his Advance master I am already aware of the fox demon presence in your coffin there is no need for further deception wongon stated opting for a straightforward approach you you already know the Dragon Spirit of the Glorious restoration Emperor expressed surprise but quickly reconciled with the notion acknowledging that Wong tion being in the late stages of The Immortal Realm could indeed sense it since you were aware then I need not conceal it any longer yes there is a fox demon hidden within my cof are you planning to eliminate her now as the Dragon Spirit spoke a faint white light emanated from it suggesting that should wangon affirm his intent it would not hesitate to act upon witnessing the dragon spirites stance Wong tion understood that the fox demon was of significant importance to it Master you've misunderstood I have no intention of Exterminating her Wong tion was indifferent to the fox demon his interest lay solely in the true form of the Dragon Spirit as long as you permit me to touch your true body I shall turn a blind eye to the presence of this fox demon in the Royal melum I as that truly the case the Dragon Spirit s eyes glimmered with astonishment it had initially presumed that Wong tion would vehemently oppose the interaction between the Royal ancestor and the fox demon akin to other members of the royal family too it surprise Wong tion seemed unconcerned with such mundane conventions expressing a keen interest in Touching its skeletal remains was wongon some sort of eccentric who would be fascinated by touching a corpse no it must be that he desired the burial Treasures within my coffin the Dragon Spirit mused silently indeed it is true and I swear that if you allow me to touch your true body I will not lay a hand on this fox demon and will even facilitate your connection Wong tion vowed earnestly seeing Wong tion's unwavering determination the Dragon Spirit reluctantly believed him realizing it had no choice but to trust Wong tion for any attempt to liberate the fox demon would inevitably fall under wongon scrutiny very well as long as you spare my fox demon I shall not only Grant you access to my true body but also bestow upon you numerous Treasures the Dragon Spirit of the Glorious restoration Emperor chose to compromise Ina confrontation the Dragon Spirit in its current form lacked confidence in defeating Wong tion thus it had no alternative but to place its trust in him in that case please step aside wongon gazed expectantly at the coffin excitement bubbling within him at the prospect of touching the dragon spirits remains after a moment's hesitation the Dragon Spirit relented and made way calling out to the coffin Lea you may emerge as the words faded the Jade coffin lid was slowly pushed aside revealing a breathtaking Beauty clad in a silver gown who gracefully emerged she possessed a pair of silver fox ears and flowing silver hair her other features indistinguishable from those of a human woman her skin was snowy white and smooth her Visage stunningly Exquisite and her figure enchantingly alluring emanating the unique charm of a fox demon such a captivating creature was indeed mesmerizing however more than her extraordinary beauty wongon was intrigued by the name of the fox demon Lea that name sounds remarkably familiar after a moment of contemplation his eyes lit up could it be Su Lia the Empress of the Glorious restoration Emperor had the emperor in his yearning for the empress named this fox demon after her lost in thought Wong tion noticed that the fox demon had approached him since you have seen through my guys I shall not conceal the truth from you any longer I am Su Lia reincarnated however I did not anticipate being reborn as a fox demon fortunately I retain the memories of my past life and after a millennium of cultivation I have finally taken on human form I understand that fox demons are not permitted within the Royal melum yet I hope you can consider the bond between my brother shio and me and grant us your blessing upon hearing this Revelation Wong tion felt a wave of a astonishment wash over him he had not expected that this remarkable fox demon was indeed The Reincarnation of the Glorious restoration Emperor's Empress so you are The Reincarnation of the Glorious restoration Emperor's Empress no wonder the ancestor reacted so anxiously upon mentioning you wongon realized historical records noted that the Glorious restoration Emperor Wang xio and Empress Su Lia shared an exceptionally affectionate bond to the extent that he kept a herum of only one woman for her sake demonstrating his deep affection for the empress yes my brother Sho has always been concerned about my identity as a fox demon which is why he allowed me to enter and exit through the back door I never expected to be discovered by you today Su Lia sighed softly in truth it was not Wong tion who unraveled their secret but rather the Dragon Spirit of the one Emperor otherwise Wong tion would have remained unaware of the fox Demon's presence in the Royal melum rest assured I am quite open-minded and since you are The Reincarnation of the royal ancestor you may come and go freely in the Royal melum with no need to concern yourself with me this is my promise wongon assured them this declaration filled both the Glorious restoration Emperor and Su Lia with joy you must not go back on your word the Dragon Spirit insisted a gentleman's word is his bond Wong tion replied patting his chest before recalling something and casually asking by the way Empress Su what breed of fox demon are you in this reincarnation suddenly it dawned on him that he was the leader of the fox demon Clan if sua was indeed a fox demon did that not make him her Superior I am the ancestor of the Silver Fox Clan what of it Su Lia inquired her brow furrowing in confusion you are the ancestor of the Silver Fox Clan wongon exclaimed taken aback but soon came to terms with it realizing she had reincarnated with memories and had cultivated for a millennium thus undoubtedly possessing formidable strength never mind I was merely curious now I shall proceed toch the true body of the ancestor you to may continue with your Affairs as if I do not exist Wong tion uninterested in their matters promptly made his way toward the coffin after encountering no further resistance Wong tion quickly arrived at the Jade coffin the lid had already been moved aside by sua so he did not need to do so again this time it was even easier than before he wondered what he might discover from the ancestors remains wongon leaned in discovering two skeletons within the coffin one was crystallin and translucent radiating a rich aura unmistakably that of the Glorious restoration Emperor only at The Immortal Realm could 1s bones possess such Clarity the other skeleton was white but emitted no foul odor instead it bore A peculiar fragrance indicating it belonged to the former body of empress Su Lia po fine two skeletons was a tremendous stroke of Fortune for Wong tion his eyes sparkled with excitement pondering which skeleton to touch first after glancing back and forth between the to he ultimately reached toward the bones of the Glorious restoration Emperor as they exuded a potent Aura promising to yield remarkable Treasures the moment Wong tion's hand made contact with the skeleton the systems voice resonated in his mind ding congratulations to the host for touching a Celestial great corpse acquiring chapter 136 the Breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm ding congratulations to the host for touching a Celestial great corpse acquiring the daon spirit bodied as the systems voice faded an immense surge of spiritual energy erupted within Wong tion akin to a planetary explosion in an instant the vast spiritual energy filled his entire being what an overwhelming Force Wong tion exclaimed both astonished and elated as he swiftly settled into a cross-legged position attempting to absorb and convert the energy into Dragon shei however the energy was incredibly Lively before he could assimilate it it began to rapidly transform his body previously wongon had a single spiritual Meridian which had been opened by the shushan ancestor jishua now under the Relentless assault of the tumultuous spiritual energy a second spiritual Meridian emerged within him initially faint it quickly grew larger as the energy surged soon maturing into a fully developed Meridian this energy is actually helping me open my meridians could this be the daon spirit body Wong tion pondered excitedly the more spiritual meridians he possessed the faster his energy absorption would be once the the first Meridian was opened the remaining spiritual energy continued to assist Wang tion in forging a third Meridian this time he refrained from intervening allowing the energy to work its magic the process of opening meridians was excruciating as it involved unblocking previously stagnant acupoints and channels making the experience inevitably painful fortunately wongon was in the late stages of The Immortal Realm the discomfort was manageable and he grit his teeth to endure it after an hour the third Meridian was success successfully opened three meridians this Talent was indeed on par with the rarest of cultivation prodigies Wong tion believed the Meridian opening had concluded only to find that a considerable amount of spiritual energy remained this energy continued to assist him in further Meridian openings another hour passed and Wong tion gained a fourth Meridian for meridians is this the end no this was merely the beginning as time progressed a fifth Meridian was also breached by the surging spiritual energy followed closely by the sixth and seventh meridians all yielding to the influx of energy the more meridians Wong tion opened the faster the surrounding spiritual energy surged toward him originally the melum of the emperor of restoration was suffused with an abundance of spiritual energy and now an overwhelming surge of this energy was rushing towards him in a frenzied manner the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration sensed the unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy and a flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes this young man is actually opening spiritual veins at this moment moment the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration was taken aback the act of opening spiritual veins is a matter of remarkable opportunity and innate Talent with perhaps one in a 100,000 individuals capable of achieving it furthermore opening a single spiritual vein already marks one as a genius yet Wong tion managed to open so many at once causing the surrounding spiritual energy to erupt in a chaotic frenzy brother Shi Wong tion's Talent is astonishing the spiritual energy within a 10,000 km radius must be drawn to him the fox demon Su Lia exclaimed in shock not only that this fellow has opened numerous spiritual veins at once the spiritual energy within a 100,000 km radius is likely being absorbed by him the Emperor of restoration who had once possessed the daon spiritual body and opened eight spiritual veins was acutely aware of the significance of absorbing spiritual energy through these veins 100,000 km radius Sue lehor gasped covering her mouth in disbelief how exaggerated is that a 100,000 km radius would Encompass the entire capital city this was a conservative estimate the young man was on the verge of opening a ninth spiritual vein the Emperor of restoration's gaze shimmered with Intrigue it was the first time he had witnessed someone with a spiritual body surpassing his o in it as he noted the remaining spiritual energy within Wong tion was surging towards the ninth spiritual vein but alas there was not quite enough energy to complete the process just a little more is needed the spiritual energy is insufficient Wong tion felt a deep sense of frustration and just as he was about to concede defeat the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration exhaled a stream of exceptionally pure spiritual energy which flowed into him from above with this infusion of pure spiritual energy the previously waning surge resumed its momentum Wong tion was overjoyed he had never anticipated that the Emperor of restoration would lend him assistance at such a critical juncture and he promptly focused his mind to continue the Endeavor of opening the ninth spiritual vein soon the ninth spiritual vein was successfully opened at T this point Wong tion had truly grasped the essence of the daon spiritual body it felt Exquisite the atmosphere was thick with spiritual energy almost to the point of becoming Misty far denser than the energy outside the melum is this the sensation of having open nine spiritual veins truly the daon spiritual body is remarkable Wong tion was elated however a remark from the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration elucidated the source of this energy Mist you have awakened the daon spiritual body this spiritual energy has been drawn to you as you opened your spiritual veins so that s how it is Wong tion realized yet he couldn't he help but Marvel at the sheer volume of spiritual energy surrounding him the density of the energy was so profound that it had transformed into mist how much energy must have been attracted here all the spiritual energy in the capital city is gathered here your actions have certainly made quite the impact replied the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration all the spiritual energy in the capital city wongon was astonished merely opening a spiritual vein attracted such a vast amount of energy if he were to absorb it all wood and te he gathered even more spiritual energy his eyes sparkled with determination upon witnessing the abundance of energy this spiritual energy cannot go to waste if I converted into dragon energy perhaps I could break through to the Earth Immortal Realm with this thought wongon settled back into a meditative posture point9 spiritual veins open wongon exclaimed and with that all nine of his spiritual veins flung wide open allowing Torrance of spiritual energy to rush into his body he scarcely needed to absorb it consciously the energy flowed into him of its own accord this is the extraordinary capability of the daon spiritual body once the spiritual energy entered Wang tion's being it was swiftly transformed into dragon energy thanks to the enhancement of the doubt tion's spiritual body the conversion efficiency skyrocketed to an astonishing 99 consequently Wong tion's dragon energy surged dramatically in a short span of time indeed the daon spiritual body was exceptional the efficiency of spiritual energy conversion was remarkably High significantly increasing the likelihood of a successful breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm Wong tion stifled his excitement and closed his eyes focusing intently on absorbing and converting the spiritual energy meanwhile the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration and Su Lia instinctively cast a protective barrier around him as he practiced before their eyes as the spiritual energy continued to transform into dragon energy wongon body underwent another metamorphosis the dragon soul within his Danon was voraciously absorbing the transformed dragon energy time passed and Wong tion's power swelled rapidly within just a day and night he had progressed from the late stage of the human Immortal Realm to the great Perfection stage he was now poised to make a genuine attempt at breaking through to the Earth mortal realm however surpassing the bottleneck proved to be exceedingly challenging especially at this level Wong tion kept drawing and dragon energy striving for a breakthrough but the shackles remained unyielding the golden dragon soul within his Danton ceased its growth upon reaching a length of 50 m seemingly caught in a bottleneck this is bad I've hit a bottleneck frustrated wongon intensified his absorption of spiritual energy causing the transformed dragon energy to swell once more yet no amount of dragon energy could surmount that barrier three entire days and nights elapsed and still Wong tion's cultivation remained stagnant brother sh it seems he has encountered a bottleneck Su lehor observed recognizing Wong tion's predicament indeed breaking through to the earth a mortal realm is not something that can be achieved overnight the Emperor of restoration remarked his expression a mixture of complexity as he regarded wongon he genuinely hoped Wong tion would succeed in reaching the Earth Immortal Realm as a strong Royal lineage would ensure the longevity of the daian dynasty moreover he had an important matter that might require Wong tion's assistance 5 days past and the surrounding spiritual energy had been nearly absorbed and transformed by wangon yet there were still no signs of a breakthrough it seems he will struggle to surpass this threshold the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration lamented glancing at the melum now nearly devoid of spiritual energy to have achieved this much was already commendable after all breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm requires a fortuitous opportunity and relying solely on human effort is exceedingly difficult Isa shared the sentiment that a breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm seemed unlikely for Wong tion however just as they resigned themselves to this conclusion a miracle occurred the golden dragon bone located in Wong tion's spine began to undergo a transformation evolving under the Relentless onslaught of dragon energy it began to grow rapidly assimilating the surrounding bones into a golden form at an astonishing Pace wongon felt as if his bones were shattering under the immense pain yet he gritted his teeth and persevered knowing that once his bones were reshaped he would have the hope of breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm the Emperor of restoration and Su Lia were utterly stunned by the sight they could hardly believe that Wong tion possessed dragon bones this was a Divine opportunity as the powerful Roar of a dragon erupted from Wong tion soaring into the heavens Divine forces seemed to respond to his Evolution manifesting a radiant beam of golden light that illuminated the surroundings chapter 137 I desire a harmonious world of vast quantity of dragon energy unable to breach the boundary was absorbed by the golden dragon bone in Wong tion's spine as the amount of absorbed dragon energy increased the golden dragon bone underwent an astonishing transformation assimilating the surrounding bones into gold at an alarming rate wangon felt as if his entire body would shatter from the excruciating pain but he continued to stubbornly endure knowing that once his bones were remade he would have the chance to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm the Emperor of restoration and Su Lia were completely transfixed by the scene before them they had never anticipated that Wong tion harbored dragon bones within him this was a gift from the heavens with a powerful Roar that pierced the sky won's voice resonated and the heavens seemed to acknowledge his Evolution sending down a brilliant beam of Golden Light dazzling in its Brilliance this was the blessing of breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm this young man had managed to ascend to this level in just 10 days the Emperor of restoration was utterly astounded he had spent his entire life trapped at the Pinnacle of the human Immortal Realm while this young man had achieved a breakthrough from the late stage of The Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm in a mere 10 days such speed was unprecedented surpassing even that of the first emperor brother Shi Wong tion's qualifications are extraordinary having just awakened the daon spiritual body he now encounters the evolution of dragon bones what kind of Fortune must one possess to experience both simultaneously Su lior gasped in astonishment realizing that Wong tion's fortunes were truly extraordinary this young man s future accomplishments could very well Eclipse those of the first emperor the Emperor of restoration gazed at Wong tion his eyes gleaming with Wonder as the Golden Light descended upon Wong tion his body underwent rapid transformation the assimilation of the dragon bones accelerated while his flesh and Blood also experienced Evolution under the blessings of the earth Immortal Realm Wong tion F immense pain coursing through him yet under the opic of the earth Immortal s blessing his suffering was swiftly alleviated time became a blur and eventually Wong tion's transformation was complete when he opened his eyes a flash of Golden Light sparkled within them and he expelled a puff of golden turbid energy from his mouth the might of the Dragon emanating from him had multiplied several times unless he deliberately concealed it any ordinary person who beheld him would instinctively kneel IAS this the power of the Earth Immortal Realm how formidable Wong tion Rose from the ground a series of crackling sounds echoing as he clenched his fist feeling an overwhelming surge of strength congratulations on your Ascension to the Earth Immortal Realm the dragon soul of the emperor of restoration sincerely congratulated him after all wongon was a member of their Royal lineage his growth signified the strengthening of the daian Dynasty in a significant way indeed I have yet to express my gratitude to my esteemed ancestor for a me in the Breakthrough of the ninth spiritual vein otherwise I would not have achieved the Earth Immortal Realm so swiftly Wong tion bowed respectfully during the process of opening the ninth spiritual vein the spiritual energy had nearly waned and it was the Revival Emperor who lent me assistance at a critical moment which enabled me to successfully establish the ninth spiritual vein if you truly wish to express your gratitude to me assist me with a task the Revival Emperor stated directly without unnecessary elaboration his Aid to w in opening the ninth spiritual vein was partly due to his lineage as a royal descendant and partly because he desired Wong tion's assistance with the matter of course esteemed ancestor what task would you have me undertake Wong tion instinctively replied feeling indebted to his ancestor and thus unwilling to refuse the request the Revival Emperor glanced at sua and then with evident difficulty requested I wish for you to help lehua shed her fox demon form and be reborn as a human the fact that Su Lia had reincarnated as a fox demon had long been a lingering concern for the Revival Emperor for the paths of humans and demons diverged they could not openly be together and instead had to meet clandestinely this was also why sua could only enter through the back door of the melum avoiding the main entrance to evade detection esula looked longingly at Wang tion although she had cultivated to the level of a demon Sage she remained unable to escape her fox demon form an issue that weighed heavily on her heart for humans and demons had always been at odds throughout history upon hearing this wongon surprisingly declined I will not assist Empress Sue in her transformation back to human form I believe her fox demon form is more beneficial for her cultivation and the risks of transformation are great Not only would her cultivation start a new but she might even lose her soul in the process I feel that her current state does not hinder your relationship wongon spoke earnestly wongon you do not understand the paths of humans and demons are Divergent I desire to be with lehua openly and she must become human again the Revival Emperor was interrupted by Wong tion why must we concern ourselves with the opinions of the world moreover esteemed ancestor you are currently in a Dragon Spirit form and do not strictly belong to the realm of humanity young man while that may be true the world operates as such and furthermore Royal regulations do not permit Fox demons to associate with royal descendants Sue Lea interjected unable to contain herself she too wished to be with Wang tion openly rather than in secrecy this regulation shall be abolished from this day forth I in the future Royal descendants shall have the freedom to choose whom they wish to be with be it a fox demon a demon Clan member or any other alien race Wong tion declared with unwavering conviction sua initially considered refuting him by pointing out that he had come to guard the Imperial Tomb which seemed to undermine his authority but then she recalled his current strength having reached the Earth Immortal Realm with such power who could challenge his Ascent to the throne do you truly intend to abolish this regulation the Revival Emperor's Dragon Spirit shifted his mind suddenly reconsidering if this regulation were indeed abolished he and Su Lia would no longer need to live in hiding nor would they have to risk the transformation process that would require rebuilding their cultivation if given the choice the Revival Emperor would never have taken the risk of having Su Lia undergo such a transformation indeed not only do I intend to abolish this regulation but I also aim to embrace all peoples equally striving for harmony across the realm Wong tion stated resolutely Wong tion's Grand Vision left the Revival Emperor feeling inadequate he recalled his own past having steadfastly supported the supremacy of humanity enforcing policies that suppressed the demon and other alien races Wong tion I must admit you surpass me the fact that my Dean Dynasty has produced such a royal descendant as yourself is a great Fortune the Revival Emperor expressed his admiration sincerely I would not dare to compare myself with my esteemed ancestor you are a sage monarch of an era while I am merely an uncherished Prince Wong tion humbly replied with your current strength the Imperial Throne is within your grasp I shall await your news of Harmony across the realm the Revival Emperor stated earnestly do no my current strength is still insufficient I must continue to advance Wong tion reflected acknowledging that while he was indeed among the top in the deian dynasty many others in the tonan continent surpassed him such as the empress sujian of the duu kingdom whose strength may have already reached midar Immortal or even higher too defeat her Wong tion needed to strive further after regaining his Focus he turned his attention back to the Revival Emperor's remains a Celestial great corpse could be examined more than twice and having only touched it once to acquire the daon spirit body he wondered what reward he might receive upon a second touch suppressing his excitement Wong tion extended his hand once more toward the Revival Emperor's remains and as his hand made contact the systems voice echoed in response ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse obtaining today marks the first day of the college entrance examination I wish all candidates Swift strokes and boundless victories the stars do not forsake the diligent and time favors the earnest may your examination journey be adorned with Splendid blossoms s Wong tion's hand grazed the Revival Emperor Remains the systems voice resounded again ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse obtaining the celestial technique Spirit Explosion upon hearing that it was a Celestial technique Wong tion felt both astonished and delighted this was his second Celestial technique excellent another Celestial technique it seems that Spirit Explosion was a renowned skill of the Revival emperor in his Heyday leading an army of 20,000 against a force of 400,000 at the banks of the emo River he had utilized this very technique to instantaneously slay over a 100,000 foes causing the enemy to flee in panic Wong tion was quite pleased with the Spirit Explosion technique though the current setting was too confined to practice it after acquiring the celestial technique Wong tion's gaze shifted once more to the remains of the Revival Emperor curious if a third reward awaited him rubbing his hands in anticipation he reached out again but this time he received no further rewards Wong tion attempted to touch several more times yet still found no rewards confirming that he could not extract anything further from the Revival Emperor's remains it appeared there were only two opportunities next he decided to examine the remains of empress Su Lia beside the Revival Emperor although Su Lia had reincarnated as a fox demon her previous life s remained still lay within the coffin without hesitation Wong tion reached out and as his hand made contact with her Remains the systems voice chimed in once more ding congratulations host you have touched a terrestrial great corpse obtaining the Phoenix Spirit body surprised by su lia's impressive talent in her previous life Wong tion noted that he already possessed the daon spirit body rendering the Phoenix Spirit body less useful for him moreover this physique seemed more suitable for a female to inherit Wong tion's thoughts drifted to yuno if she possessed this Phoenix Spirit body her cultivation speed would undoubtedly increase he also realized it had been quite some time since he last saw her and he missed her dearly additionally it seemed their wedding date as decreed was fast approaching he resolved to visit little Chio soon and discuss their upcoming coming nuptials Wong tion quickly made up his mind but before departing he rummaged through the treasures within the Revival Emperor's coffin with so many valuables present it would be remiss to leave without selecting a few among the burial items in the Revival Emperor's coffin only two caught Wong tion Discerning I point1 was the 10,000 poison immunity pill which could be considered a Celestial Elixir consuming this pill would Grant immunity to all poisons including goo poisons and soul poisons far surpassing the purifying capabilities of the cleansing Pearl while the cleansing Pearl could cleanse all toxins from the world it could not purify poisons once ingested however with the 10,000 poison immunity pill even if one consumed toxic substances they would remain completely immune though he seldom encountered poisons when the need arose it could save his life what a remarkable Elixir without hesitation Wong tion swallowed the pill hole feeling a warm sensation spread through his body this pill is exceptional he then directed his attention to the other treasure the Phoenix Spirit hair pin appeared to be Su lia's prized possession he pondered whether he could take it Wong tion wished to gift this beautiful Phoenix Spirit hairpin to yunio as it was not only a Celestial artifact but also exquisitely crafted bound to look stunning at top her head however with sua still present Wong tion decided to inquire first Empress Su do you still wear this Phoenix Spirit hair pin you may take it I am now in the form of a fox demon cultivating demonic energy so this spiritual artifact holds little value for me now Su Lia replied readily generously offering her previous life as treasure to Wong tion then I shall express my gratitude to you Empress Sue Wong tion joyfully accepted the precious item aside from these two Treasures Wong tion found nothing else in the coffin that piqued his interest he then turned to bid farewell to the Revival Emperor and Sue Lea esteemed ancestor Empress Sue I shall take my leave for now once I have achieved Harmony across the realm I will return to share the good news with you.at that time you may be together openly I shall await your good news here the Revival Emperor expressed his anticipation with a flick of his dragon tail a finely crafted wooden box soared from the earth in the center of the melum landing directly before Wong tion take this box it may assist you the Revival Emperor offered thank you esteemed ancestor Wong tion accepted the box without hesitation instinctively opening it to reveal a large multicolored Spirit orb resting within radiating a rich Aura of spiritual energy esteemed ancestor your gift is exceedingly generous Wong tion was utterly astonished to find it was a Celestial grade seven-colored Spirit orb a treasure capable of transforming an entire realm no wonder there is such an abundance of spiritual energy condensed within the Royal melum Courtyard it turns out to be due to the presence of this colorful Spirit Pearl this is indeed the foundation of my family take good care of it and fulfill your promise the tone of the restoration Emperor was notably solemn in order to be openly together with the one he cherished he was willing to part with his most treasured possession and give it to Wong tion rest assured my ancestor I will help you realize this wish and it one te take long at most half a year Wong tion also offered him a solemn promise after completing all these Arrangements wongon exited the melum of the restoration Emperor and promptly set off for the chilin Pavilion meanwhile in a tea house across from the headquarters of the chilin Pavilion Sujin Sheen veiled in White Silk sat in the highest chamber gazing longingly at the chilin Pavilion behind her stood Lyn in clad in a flowing red dress perpetually cradling a sword. it had nearly half a month yet he had still not appeared at the chilin Pavilion Eugene Sheen took a delicate sip of tea ever since the divine wind sect had witnessed Wong tion's prowess sujan Sheen had expedited the investigation into the identity of the Heavenly King too her astonishment it was revealed that the Heavenly King was not only the founder of the divine wind sect but also an elder of Mount shu renowned in the Marshal world as the sword King Beyond these Revelations what concerned Sujin Sheen even more was that the sword King had an affection for yuno the daughter of the Pavilion Master when she first learned of this news Sujin Shen felt quite unsettled however upon hearing that yunio was already betroth to the sixth Prince of the daian dynasty she felt somewhat relieved this very news was the reason Sujin Shin had personally been lurking in The Tea House opposite the chilin Pavilion for half a month hoping to catch a glimpse of the sword King my lady I believe it will be soon the betral between yunio and the sixth Prince is approaching if he does not come to claim her soon she will become another's woman lying remarked do you think he will come to claim her Sujin Sheen sipped her tea lightly torn between anticipation and Dread she yearned for Wong tion's arrival for if he came it would provide her the opportunity to drug him once he ingested the servant water he would belong to her entirely since learning of Wong tion's connections with both the divine wind sect Mount Shu Sujin Sheen had only intensified her desire to capture him yet her fear of his arrival stemmed from the possibility that his coming would signify his genuine affection for yunio which deeply unsettled her as an empress her possessiveness was exceedingly strong he is likely to come he once braved the dangers alone to rescue The chilin Pavilion even persuading the sect master of Mount shu to make an exception an ally with us lenning pondered seriously if he did not care so deeply how could he have risked everything for our rescue upon hearing this Sujin Sheen felt a Pang of discomfort just then a familiar figure descended from the heavens and landed in the courtyard of the chilin Pavilion my lady he has arrived Lin Ying's eyes brightened at the sight of the familiar figure yes I see him you have finally come now surrender yourself to me suin Sheen's possessiveness surged and she was eager to discover whether the sword King preferred yunio or her after consuming the servant water chapter 139 will the empress steal a heart as good fortune approached the chilin Pavilion was adorned in red and festooned with celebratory decorations radiating an atmosphere of Joy however the Pavilion Master Yun jongi found it impossible to share in the Mart although his daughter was to marry the 6th Prince he was notoriously known as a wasteful Prince having been relegated to the Imperial tombs leaving his future Bleak marrying such a precarious Prince meant that his daughter s bright prospects were coming to an end alas Yun jongi side entering His Daughter s chamber where he found her gleefully trying on her wedding attire intensifying his sense of inadequacy for not providing her a better future father do you think this wedding attire looks beautiful yunio adorned in a resplendent red phoenix crown and bridal gown approached Yun jongi spinning joyfully before him it looks beautiful indeed Yun jongi witnessing his daughter's happiness felt a Pang of reluctance along with a rising sense of Doubt Sher you seemed quite reluctant about the engagement previously why do you appear so joyful now I also find it rather strange Sho dear sister have you lost interest in the sword king or did you two have a quarrel reding standing nearby could not help but voice her curiosity a question she had long wished to ask this yunio overwhelmed by her own Joy inadvertently dropped her facade then sighed saying since the engagement cannot be undone I can only find joy in my suffering yuno's acting was committ amendable her Fain distress tugging at their hearts so this is how it is I am sorry to have made you feel this way my dear Cher Yun jongi felt a deep sense of Sorrow for his daughter and reading approached to embrace her equally pain for her plight once yuno realized she had successfully deceived them she secretly sighed in relief and comforted them saying in truth marrying the sixth Prince is not so bad at least I will be recognized as a princess in name upon hearing this neither Yun jongi nor reading felt any Joy they merely regarded yuno's words as self-comfort just then a familiar voice echoed from outside little Chio as the voice drifted in Wong tion hurriedly stepped inside having not seen her for half a month Wong tion missed yuno dearly but upon noticing the presence of others in the room he momentarily suppressed his longing brother tion eagerly yunio rushed toward Wang tion Longing To leap into his Embrace to alleviate her yearning but she restrained her excitement upon remembering her father and the others present the two were forced to endure the torment of not being able to embrace each other little Chio are you about to marry Wong tion feigned ignorance yes I will wed the sixth Prince the day after tomorrow so I'm trying on this wedding dress today yuno replied gazing at Wong tion with eyes full of affection as if her gaze could weave silk.it was evident to anyone that yuno held deep feelings for wongon you are to marry the sixth Prince wongon pretended to be surprised yes Yun nodded her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Wong tion not once wavering readying observing yuno's demeanor felt a surge of indignation sword King Jo's sister is to Wed the sixth Prince the day after tomorrow do you have anything to say there is nothing to say I wish for little Chio and the sixth Prince a lifetime of happiness Wong tion maintained a seemingly Carefree demeanor however his words incited discontent and reading sword King do you still consider yourself a man it is evident to all that show sister has feelings for you if you were a true man you would take her away today reading scolded her expression filled with indignation her words shocked everyone present eloping with yunio would be deemed treason punishable by the annihilation of his entire family reading do not speak such Reckless words Yun jongi urgently interjected what is there to fear the former Emperor has already passed and the sixth Prince is merely a waste who has been relegated to the Imperial tombs he is of no consequence one could easily kill him without anyone caring reading as Fury reached a boiling point silence reading if you speak such nonsense again I shall confine you for reflection Yun jong's voice was filled with anger although the former Emperor had passed and the sixth Prince was a mere waste he still represented the Royal dignity moreover the sixth Prince was the former Emperor's designated Western King too kill him would equate to treason leading to the eradication of not just one family but nine if you do not wish to speak then don't reading felt somewhat wronged but obediently fell silent enough let us not quarrel over our matters it is not worth it wongon quickly intervened then deafly changed the subject I have come today to present a wedding gift to little chill wongon had been searching for an excuse to present a gift and this was the perfect opportunity brother tion I have already received many gifts from you yuno felt a bit embarrassed previously she had accepted too many gifts each a precious treasure sword King there is no need for gifts if you do not mind please come over for a cup of celebratory wine The Day After Tomorrow Yun jongi also felt a tad uncomfortable having failed to unite them how could he accept Wong tion's gifts no this is especially prepared for little chill Wong tion replied producing a radiant treasure from his spatial system this is the Phoenix Spirit hairpin little Chio you will look exceptionally beautiful wearing it this hair pin was a Celestial artifact though Wong tion did not emphasize this fact fearing it might incite covetous however both Yun jongi and reading recognized its extraordinary nature at a glance as the rich spiritual energy and the aroma of Phoenix's emanating from it indicated that the treasure was at least of heavenly grade sword King this Phoenix Spirit hairpin is far too precious Yun jongi hesitated to accept it fearing he could not repay such kindness it is merely a hair pin what is there to be concerned about little Cho allow me to Adorn you with it wongon took matters into his own hands placing the hair hair pin a top yuno's head which brought her immense Joy thank you brother tion after Dawning the Phoenix Spirit hair pin yunio felt a surge of spiritual energy coursing through her and within mere breaths she sensed a potential breakthrough which truly astonished her be why the way there is another treasure I wish to give you Wong tion said communicating with the system through his mind system please materialize the essence of the Phoenix spirit I wish to pass it to yunio please wait as the systems voice resonated the essence of the Phoenix Spirit materialized into a luminous orb in Wong tion's Palm this orb was the size of a ping-pong ball radiating a gentle glow appearing like a sphere of spiritual energy what is this yunio instinctively inquired this is the essence of the Phoenix Spirit once you absorb it you will possess the Phoenix Spirit Wong tion explained as he placed the essence into yuno's hands hearing this everyone present gasped in astonishment the Phoenix Spirit body indeed one of the four Paramount spiritual bodies revered among cultivators possesses an immeasurable worth equivalent to no less than 100 cities yet in a stunning twist wongon generously gifted such a precious artifact to yunio Yun jongi taken aback pondered what Merit his daughter possessed to deserve such an extraordinary treasure Hong in equally astonished recognized that while the sword King did not vocalize his sentiments his actions undeniably manifested his profound affection for yunio otherwise he would not have bestowed such such a rare gift upon her tiang go this is far too valuable you should keep it for yourself yino hesitated to accept this is your wedding gift for me you simply must take it wongon insisted his gaze Resolute very well but I cannot promise you happiness yunio fainted regret aiming for a more convincing performance the onlooker side in unison having witnessed the sword King as silent love for yunio yet lamenting the harsh reality that kept them apart at that moment a powerful unfamiliar voice resonated from outside if you cannot provide him with happiness allow me to do so as the words fell two strikingly beautiful women gracefully entered The Room chapter 140 the empress's invitation the Gathering turned to see two enchanting figures approach one clad in a flowing red gown exuded an aura of solemnity and elegance her brow adorned with a hint of Valor cradling a crimson long sword in her arms the other draped in white seemed ethereal her face partially concealed by a delicate Veil exuding an air of my and nobility upon citing them Wong tion furrowed his brow why did he encounter these two every time he left the Royal tomb who are you to trespass into our chilin Pavilion Yun jongi stepped forward defensively this was their headquarters and the mere thought of such intrusions was unsettling we have come to congratulate your daughter on her marriage this is a gift from our mistress to miss yunio lenning spoke as she presented an Exquisite wooden box upon opening it a radiant night Pearl aged 100,000 years was revealed the Pearl pure and lustrous shimmered with an ethereal light imbued with abundant spiritual energy this night Pearl aged for a 100 Millennia will double your cultivation speed ground into powder and ingested it will grant Eternal youth linning proclaimed her voice brimming with pride as if bestowing such a treasure were a Monumental favor however yunio coldly declined I appreciate the gesture but I cannot accept a gift without Merit especially from those I do not know please vacate our chilin Pavilion she felt a strong aversion to the two women particularly after that remark about providing tangu happiness which made her feel unwelcome as the empress being issued a dismissal left Sujin Sheen feeling slighted yet she chose to ignore yunio and turned her gaze towards wangan young Master tion since Fate has deemed you and this girl ill- fated why not accompany me I can offer you what you desire Su J Sheen confidently extended her invitation recognizing the exception Talent Wong tion possessed in the unique Allure he exuded yuno's heart tightened at the boldness of the invitation fearing her tion goo might be swayed by this masked woman I am afraid I'm not interested Wong tion politely declined despite the fact that she was the Empress of dawe his heart belonged solely to yunio and he doubted Sujin Sheen's genuine interest suspecting ulterior motives annoyed by the rejection Sujin Sheen maintained her composure while Lin in frustration began to show young Master tion I had advise you to reconsider serving our mistress is an unparalleled Fortune don't not refuse a toast only to face punishment linning warned her tone laced with a hint of Menace suene Sheen remained silent sharing her intent to pressure wongon if he willingly submitted she preferred not to resort to coercive measures but should he remain obstinate she would have no choice but to employ more forceful means I must decline I am not worthy of such Fortune I kindly ask you to leave Miss Sue Wong tion reiterated firmly without a trace of hesitation yunio exhaled in relief upon his refusal you truly do not know what is good for you linning huffed and frustration Eugene Sheen's delicate brows knitted together clearly displeased with Wong tion's response young Master tion should you choose to follow me your future will place you above all in the tition shien continent are you certain you wish to reject my offer I have made my refusal clear did you not hear me Wong tion's annoyance began to surface remarkable you are the first to dare reject me suin Sheen smirked a thrill coursing through her as Wong tion resisted she anticipated that soon he would submit to her will escort them out Yun jongi commanded loudly Doo need I have a parting gift for young Master tion once I deliver it I shall take my leave sujan Sheen produced an Exquisite wooden box from her sleeve and presented it to Wong tion without further Ado this is for you open it and see if it pleases you if I accept this gift you will depart wongon questioned growing impatient with with her presumptuousness indeed accept this gift and I shall take my leave very well I accept your gift thank you Wong tion took the wooden box with a hint of reluctance farewell young Master tion until we meet again suene Sheen smiled subtly her lips curling upwards as she clasped her hands in a gesture of respect before Vanishing along with her sword-bearing companion ly in Wong tion shook his head in resignation as he watched their departure these two women were indeed elusive appearing in like Phantoms every time he left the Royal tomb tangu who were they how do you know them yuno's anxious inquiries poured forth echoed by the Curiosity of others present the one veiled in white is Su Jan Sheen the Empress of daa the one holding the sword is likely her maid though I do not know her name Wong tion replied honestly not wishing to conceal the truth from her what she is the Empress of Da ponging exclaimed her surprise mirrored by the astonishment of Yun jongi yunio and the others indeed that is correct wongon confirmed with aod heavens why would the Empress of Da suddenly visit Aran Dynasty Hong and gasped shouldn't that question be directed at your chilin Pavilion Wong tion turned to Yun jongi curious about the empress's motives for clandestinely visiting the daian dynasty I suspect she intends to investigate the internal affairs of the daian dynasty preparing for a potential Southern Invasion Yun jongi speculated after a moment of thought a southern Invasion da have plans to attack us yuno's astonishment was palpable haven't they suffered enough at our hands do they truly wish to provoke us again unaware of the shifting tides of power over the Millennia yunio believed the Duan Dynasty to be Invincible oblivious to the fact that neighboring Nations had grown in strength daa currently occupies two of our strongholds it appears they are genuinely intent on advancing Southward hunging noted recognizing the implications of their intentions indeed I share your assessment however their hopes of Conquering the Duan Dynasty are feudal wongon declared his gaze Resolute unwilling to allow the daian dynasty to be subsumed by da the assembly nodded in agreement harboring a measure of loyalty to the daian dynasty be why the way tangu what did the Empress of DEA gift you open it and let us see yunio suddenly inquired her curiosity peaked as she gazed at the Exquisite wooden box in wangonk possession Yun jongi Hong in and the others similarly directed their attention to the Box their anticipation palpable given the Empress of Da stature her gift was sure to be extraordinary and considering the earlier encounter it was evident she held wongon in high regard everyone was eager to discover the contents of the box wongon too was intrigued by what the empress might have bestowed upon him with a slight exertion he opened the box chapter 141 the overconfident Empress in a tea house across from the chilin Pavilion suene Sheen leisurely savored her tea and pastries seemingly in complete control of the situation meanwhile ly in the sword bearing made behind her exhibited signs of impatience Master weren't you going to offer the sword King the servant water why did you leave so abruptly linen questioned puzzled by her mistress's actions he resents me leaving me no opportunity to administer the servant water directly thus I infused it into the gift once he opens the wooden box the servant water will be released and upon inhaling it he will succumb to its effects and time he will inevitably submit to me Sujin Sheen replied taking a delicate sip of tea already envisioning the moment Wong tion would kneel before her I see but what if he chooses not to open the box linning expressed her concern he will if my predictions hold true within an hour he will come graveling to me Sujin Sheen asserted confidently within the chin Pavilion Wong tion slowly opened the Exquisite wooden box and at the very moment he lifted the lid a colorless odorless Vapor wafted out ahead of him unprepared wongon inhaled this vapor directly through his nose he felt a slight tickle in his nostrils but soon returned to normal his body showing no signs of any abnormality as for the others none of them noticed this Vapor instead their gazes collectively fixated upon the golden token nestled within the box it appeared to be a golden token intricately engraved with the image of an eagle ponging approached scrutinizing the token closely this was not merely an eagle but the totem of the Great Moon Kingdom the three-winged eagle Yun jongi well versed in many matters immediately recognized the engraving upon hearing this the others also took a closer look and indeed it was a remarkable three-winged Eagle what purpose does this token serve Hong in could not contain her curiosity and inquired this was a question echoing in the mind of the others as well surely the Empress of the Great Moon Kingdom would not bestow a token without value if my guess is correct this should be the Golden Moon token of the Great Moon Kingdom with this token in hand one can enter and exit the Great Moon Kingdom freely including access to the back Sea Lake and even the Royal Palace Yun junzi examined the Golden Moon token once more before speaking too possessed the Golden Moon token is truly extraordinary it represents the Empress of the Great Moon Kingdom there are no more than 10 individuals throughout the entire tonan continent who hold this token hunging exclaimed the Empress of the Great Moon Kingdom is indeed generous it seems she has taken a genuine interest in Sword King tion hearing this yunio felt a twinge of jealousy they were on the verge of marriage yet a formidable Empress had appeared out of nowhere this Empress truly underestimates me does she think a mere Golden Moon token can win my allegiance Wong tion regarded the Golden Moon token with indifference contemplating his desire to visit the Great Moon Kingdom with his current strength he had no need for the token as he prepared to crush it into dust he was interrupted by Yun jongi sword King tion if you have no use for the Golden Moon token might you consider giving it to us at the chilin Pavilion with this token we could penet at deeper into the Great Moon Kingdom upon hearing this Wong tion's eyes brighten slightly The chilin Pavilion specialized in intelligence gathering and they already had spies in the Great Moon Kingdom however without the Golden Moon token their information was quite limited yet with the token their capability to gather intelligence would increase dramatically the Empress of the Great Moon Kingdom s Incognito visit to the great Chen Dynasty indicated that preparations for an invasion were underway if at this moment the spies from The chilin Pavilion could infiltrate the forces of the Great Moon Kingdom using the Golden Moon token they would surely acquire confidential information with this thought in mind wongon handed the Golden Moon token to Yun jongi since this token is useful to you take it however I require knowledge of the movements of the Great Moon kingdoms Army Wong tion was not giving it away freely he too needed to stay informed about the Army's movements and no problem Yun jongi readily agreed as he had already intended to use the Golden Moon token to gather intelligence on the Army Sujin Sheen would never have anticipated that the Golden Moon token originally meant to win over Wong tion would instead become a weapon against her a true double loss after obtaining the Golden Moon token Yun jongi promptly departed to arrange intelligence operations hunging also retreated but as she left she thoughtfully ensured that the other attendees were escorted out as well closing the door behind her soon only yunio and Wong tion remained in the room brother tion I missed you so much once they were alone yunio leapt into Wong tion's embrace her delicate arms wrapping tightly around him her ample bosom pressing against his chest stirring his emotions after half a month apart yuno longed for Wong tion earlier due to the presence of others she had been forced to restrain herself but now she could finally Express the pent up affection she had harbored over the past weeks I missed you too wongon held yuno close inhaling her fragrant scent which intoxicated him brother tion the day after tomorrow we will be wet will we not be able to be open about our love anymore yunio rested her head against Wong tion's chest listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat which only deepened her enchantment I would like to postpone the wedding after a moment of contemplation Wong tion replied why postpone yino looked at him with confusion I wish to wait until we emerge from the Royal melum before marrying you I cannot bear the thought of you enduring hardships alongside me in the melum Wong tion spoke tenderly expressing his concern as as long as I am with you I do not care where we go yino tightened her Embrace around wangon showing no concern about going to the melum it won't be long if all goes well give me one more month and I will be able to emerge wangon mused knowing that in a month he would break through to the celestial Immortal Realm becoming an invincible Force even if his identity were revealed his fourth Imperial brother and Su Janan would pose no threat to him he could easily eliminate them all right I will wait for you although yuno yearned to be with wongon sooner she obediently agreed be why the way I have a gift for you Wong tion recalled the city of love which he had taken from the demonist chenu just the name hinted at its value what is it Yun inquired her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity too the secret chamber wongon preferred to keep it hidden from others M yuno nodded slightly as wongon and yunio made their way to the secret chamber in the tea house across from the chilin Pavilion suin Sheen remained calm sipping her tea and enjoy Exquisite pastries Andy lady it has been nearly an hour why has the sword King not yet emerged to kneel before you linning asked somewhat anxiously no need to rush he has already inhaled the servant water I prepared he will soon emerge to gravel before me Su janen replied confidently regarding the servant water provided by her teacher her current achievements were not without her teacher's assistance moreover the true strength of her teacher was beyond her comprehension thus she felt assured regarding the servant water how did you know that sword King tion has opened the gift box lenning asked curiously I left a thread of intent on the gift box as soon as he opens it I can sense I Eugene Sheen explained Patiently I see linning nodded in understanding however as time passed Wong tion still did not appear in why Lady it has already been over an hour should we not check on the situation linning suggested in on need from the moment he opened the box until now the effects of the servant Waters should have reached their Peak I will count to three and he should appear fug Jin began counting 0.1 Su janin leisurely announced the first number yet no sign of Wong tion appeared at the entrance of the Chillin Pavilion two the second number followed closely but still Wong tion did not show himself three sujan Shin proclaimed the final number then confidently turned to look at the entrance of the chilin Pavilion chapter 142 the empress is jealous as Su Jan Sheen uttered the number three she confidently turned her gaze to the entrance of the chilin Pavilion believing that after inhaling the servant vapor Wong tion would surely emerge within an hour fully under its influence yet as she turned back her confidence faltered when she saw no sign of Wong tion at the entrance why hasn't he appeared Sujin Sheen furrowed her brow glancing at the sky to confirm that indeed an hour had passed my lady could he be purging the poison through cultivation lining speculated unable to contain her curiosity at Wong tion's continued absence purging poison through cultivation that is a possibility with his strength he could indeed endure for a while longer Su janin nodded seemingly finding a reason for Wong tion's delay I in that case we shall wait a little longer even if he is strong he will surely come out to kneel before me before nightfall Sujin Sheen remained confident convinced that once Wang tion was under the influence of the servant water he would inevitably submit to her will meanwhile Wong tion and yunio had already entered the secret chamber brother tition what is this yunio gazed curiously at the pink orb in Wong tion's hand this is the city of love Wong tion was unsure of its exact purpose but since it had been taken from chinu it was likely to be something remarkable what is it used for is it for refining or is it a magical artifact yuno inquired her large eyes fixated on the orb curiously poking it with her delicate finger initially it was merely a tentative touch but unexpectedly when her finger made contact with the city of love the pink orb seemed to dive into her fingertip brother tion it is entered my body yuno exclaimed in Surprise and soon after her form radiated a pink glow what do you feel wongon asked his gaze fixed on yunio with concern I feel a bit warm yuno replied removing her Shaw a flush appearing on her lovely face warm that must be the energy from the city of love being absorbed and refined by your body Wong tion instinctively responded I feels like a surge of energy is coursing through me and my spiritual energy is starting to boil and circulate rapidly as yuno's body grew warmer she could not help but loosen the straps of her dress revealing an expanse of delicate white skin is it really that hot wongon watched as yunio gradually undid her dress swallowing hard at the sight the exquisite beauty of her figure captivated his attention the energy seems rather peculiar I yunu enchanting eyes slowly lifted gazing at Wong tion with not only affection but also a hint of Desire what is strange about this energy should I assist you in channeling it WTI felt a twinge of anxiety fearing that yunu might encounter issues due to their passionate Romance the peculiarity of this energy lies in yunu overwhelmed with embarrassment found herself at a loss for words as her mind was consumed with an overwhelming urge to possess wongon a sensation akin to unquenchable desire her delicate face flushed deeper her breath quickening uncontrollably and she gently tugged away the last remaining garment casting it aside could this energy possibly be Wong tition gaze towards yunu grew increasingly entranced faintly sensing that this passionate romance might lead to an all-consuming love brother tion I desire you yunu breathed exhaling a fragrant sigh before Rising on her toes to fervently kiss Wong tion the latter feeling the intensity of yunk affection instinctively wrapped his arms around her slender waist the touch smooth and supple emanating warmth point one by one Wong tion's garments fell away and after a fortnight of Yearning For yunu all his pent up feelings were released in that moment soon the two entwined in the secluded chamber meanwhile sitting in the Tea House Sujin Shin awaited Wong tion's return to kneel before her but as the sun dipped below the Horizon her anticipation turned to discontent at his absence why hasn't the sword King appeared even as the sun sets lining filled with anxiety and confusion pondered the situation logically one who had absorbed the servants water should not escape the bonds of servitude even if they attempted to expel the poison it would only be a fleeting struggle with no chance of success suene Sheen to began to feel Restless her earlier confidence waning 3 hours had passed even if he exerted himself to dispel the poison it was implausible for him to resist for so long clutching a teacup in her Palm she found herself devoid of any desire to Drink Master should we check inside lenning proposed not yet let me first stimulate the servants water and see how long he can endure suin Sheen replied reluctantly draining her cup of tea a hint of malice flickering across her brow with a graceful wave of her hand she Unleashed a series of incantations these were spells designed to activate and control the servants water akin to the tightening spell recited by Tang Song those afflicted by the servants water would suffer immensely under such spells caught in a torment of life and death ultimately compelled to submit to her whims observing her master's determination Lynn in quietly retreated to the side eager to witness how long the sword King could withstand this trial unbeknownst to Wong tion entwined with yunu in the chamber he felt no such agonizing torment rather he was enveloped in unparalleled joy as's stick of incense burned down Wong tion's figure still did not materialize at the entrance of chilin Pavilion let alone beg for her mercy frustrated Su Jan Sheen hastened her incantations sending waves of energy through space and time towards Wang tion yet still there was no response for the first time she experienced a taste of defeat how could this be it has been seven or 8 hours and despite invoking the enslavement Spells why has he not yet appeared Sujin Sheen clenched her fists in frustration her desire to subdue wongon was so great that it led her to this state of disarray Master what should we do now that the sword King has departed linning inquired let us go to the Eastern Gate of the capital I need to eliminate someone to vent my anger Sujin Sheen's beautiful eyes glimmered with a hint of frost as she headed east it was the first time linning witnessed her master so uncharacteristically agitated yet she dared not inquire further and quickly followed at the Eastern Gate of the capital the first prince Wong Yin was leading a 100,000 troops in a Relentless assault however after more than 10 days of Siege they had yet to capture the city and the situation worsened as the dragon might Army gradually reclaimed some of the territories they had previously seized report Yin city has fallen to the Dragon Army and our retreat has been cut off a bloodied Messenger gasped as he entered the command tent a this Proclamation the faces of the officers grew somber seated at the head of the table the first prince Wong Yin furrowed his brow gentlemen the situation is dire do any of you have a strategy his piercing gaze swept across each General present a heavy silence enveloped the room they found themselves in a predicament where they could neither Advance nor Retreat a true quandry after a prolonged pause with no one Speaking Wong Yan's gaze landed on a civil General seated to his left W how what is your perspective W how the chief strategist of Wong Yan's Army was known for his astuteness and had repeatedly devised clever tactics to defeat enemy forces during the defense of the Great Moon Kingdom earning the prince's trust given our current situation with our Advance obstructed and our Retreat blocked by the dragon might Army if we continue to linger here defeat is inevitable when how analyze seriously do you have a solution to break this stalemate Wong Yin inquired aware of their predicament there is only one way to turn the tide when how paused before continuing which is to Ally with the eighth princess tion long sect and launch a joint assault on the capital only then do we stand a chance of Victory align with the eighth Prince Wong Yin frowned realizing this was an option he had not considered however it seemed to be a viable strategy yet who would Ascend the throne after their Victory indeed the eighth Prince's ton long sect has been gathered in leang city for over 10 days without any movement they likely intend for us and the four Prince to weaken each other while they reap the benefits When how concluded what scheme is the eighth Prince concocting I have long been aware that uniting with him would be exceedingly difficult and after our Victory who will Ascend the throne the first prince Wong Yin voiced his concerns that is simple you can promise him that after Victory the three continents surrounding the tion Long Gate will be granted autonomy when how suggested granting the three continence to the ton Long Gate would they truly be satisfied with such a meager offer the first prince Wong Yin expressed his skepticism to it is straightforward present this token to the leader of the tion Long Gate and he will undoubtedly acques when how replied producing a white Jade pendant adorned with intricate patterns and handing it to Wong Yin Wong Yin examined the pendant closely unable to discern any particular significance yet he held great trust in his strategist thus he ceased his inquiries and stated solemnly this diplomatic mission is of Paramount importance when how you must personally undertake this task and ensure that the e Prince and the ton Long Gate unite to confront the fourth Prince understood when how responded reclaiming the pendant before promptly departing within the palace the fourth Prince Wong Hong was diligently preparing for his Ascension although the first prince approached with great fervor his retreat was severed and his Advance thwarted he was already at the end of his tether and Wong Hong no longer regarded his elder brother as a formidable adversary to Cher do you think I look Splendid in this dragon robe the fourth Prince Wong Hong pranced about the grand hall in his resplendent golden dragon robe exuding pride and satisfaction as if he were already the emperor you look magnificent this dragon robe suits your highness perfectly suchen beamed envisioning herself as the future Empress once I Ascend the throne I shall take you as my consort and host a grand wedding in your honor Wong Hong declared pulling suchin close thank you your majesty suin replied overwhelmed with joy momentarily forgetting herself I in that instant she felt that her decision to marry the fourth Prince was undoubtedly the right choice however in the next moment a soldier burst into the chamber in a flurry your highness grave news the eighth Prince has led tens of thousands of disciples from the ton Long Gate from the west and is gathering forces to assault the Western gate what the eighth Prince has also arrived Wong hongk expression changed dramatically the ton Long Gate was the foremost sect in the tonan continent their strength indisputable and now they were mobilizing thousands of elite disciples this was a serious matter indeed yes the Disciples of the ton Long Gate should have already assembled at the Western gate before the soldier could finish a thunderous explosion erupted outside the palace causing the entire structure to tremble violently this is bad someone is assaulting the grand formation Wong Hong seemed to grasp the gravity of the situation and shouted to the soldier quickly summon prime minister Sue Wong hongk only remaining Ally was prime minister suan with the addition of the eighth Prince and the ton Long Gate the first prince Wong Yin felt his confidence surge drawing his sword he commanded all soldiers heed my call Victory or defeat hinges Upon This Moment charge at his command the 100,000 strong Army surged toward the Eastern Gate of the capital meanwhile at the Western gate the eighth Prince and the elite forces of the tion Long Gate launched a fierce assault on the city both the eastern and western Gates were under siege and the capital hung precariously in the balance all the while sujan Sheen observed the unfolding chaos m y Lord it seems the ton Long Gate has taken action earlier than expected lying reported breathlessly patience let them expend their strength first the outer defenses of the capital are fortified with protective formations particularly the dragon guard formation safeguarding the palace a grand array personally laid by the first emperor it is beyond human capability to breach such defenses suin Sheen replied calmly allow them to wear down both formations When we arrive it will be considerably easier her demeanor remains as if she had everything under control as the conflict intensified wongon had already returned to the Imperial melum this time he chose to inspect the corpse of one of the six great Saints Emperor taong Wong shim this Emperor was renowned for his extraordinary talents and accomplishments having pacified the surrounding Nations and ushered in the most prosperous era of the daian dynasty additionally his heram boasted many consorts including one recognized as one of the four Great beauties of the daian dynasty following his death over a hundred concubines were buried alongside him including that unparalleled Beauty I wonder if Emperor taong has cultivated a dragon soul wongon inhaled deeply before stepping into the main Courtyard of the melum the dragon shei barrier was effortlessly breached by wongon and he soon found himself within the grand melum upon entering he was taken aback by the horrific scene before him the cemetery was dotted with numerous Graves and a black skeletal Dragon lay coiled in the center so many burial companions rather than feeling fear Wong tion's excitement grew go think that Emperor taong burial sight contained such a multitude this could yield a tremendous Fortune he stepped toward the nearest grave however as he moved the skeletal dragon in the center suddenly lifted its head its Hollow eyes igniting with two Eerie blue flames emanating an unsettling Aura yet with Wong ton Celestial realm strength he immediately took note of the awakened skeletal Dragon it is alive W tion turned to face the now conscious skeletal Dragon summoning his juicen sword and cautiously approached as wongon Drew near the skeletal Dragon slowly Rose from the ground the dragon measured over 50 m in length entirely composed of Bones devoid of Flesh Blood or scales the immense skeletal Dragon hovering in the air exerted tremendous pressure on wongon and its body radiated a ghostly blue glow especially the enormous eyes that burned with an eerie penetrating blue flame this skeletal Dragon must have perished yet its dragon soul remained which is why it has been reanimated Wong tion speculated as wongon continued his Advance the blue glow surrounding the skeletal Dragon intensified and it expelled a plume of ghostly blue breath toward him the breath was searing hot capable of incinerating all matter Wong tion defly evaded the attack reappearing at top the skeletal Dragon do you thinkk you a mere skeletal dragon can contend with me Wong tion swung his sword unleash ing a massive wave of Sword energy that cleaved through the melum and in the next moment the Colossal skeletal Dragon was bisected with W tion's current Celestial realm prowess not even the dragon's progenitor would escape and scathed yet instead of perishing the two halves of the skeletal Dragon fell to the ground and retaliated with a fierce tail sweep followed by an aggressive lunge of its dragon head despite being severed it still lives I shall reduce you to Mere fragments wongon Nimble dodged the skeletal drag 's tail sweep and head lunge then struck again with his sword delivering a formidable wave of Sword energy that shattered the Dragon's Tail into pieces followed by another strike that split the dragon's head in twoed a the moment the dragon's head shattered a ghostly blue dragon soul surged toward wongon a dragon soul excellent I shall claim it Wong tion's eyes lit up at the sight of the ghostly blue dragon soul this was a remarkable tonic he immediately Unleashed a nine Dragon Palm toward it instantly nine streams of golden dragon shei imbued with overwhelming might surged toward the ghostly blue dragon soul the ghostly blue dragon soul measuring merely 20 M was no match for Wong tion's power as the nine Golden Dragon she approached it instinctively attempted to evade but regardless of its Maneuvers the golden streams pursued with Relentless Precision gaining speed I in a desperate bid the ghostly blue dragon soul raised its head and expelled a torrent of dragon breath hoping to erode the in coming Golden Dragon shei unfortunately its power was insufficient Wong tion's nine Dragon Palm had significantly increased in potency since his Ascension in the blink of an eye the ghostly blue dragon soul was overwhelmed by the nine golden streams and with a piercing Dragon whale it perished scattering its dragon soul energy into the air this dragon soul energy belongs to me Wong tion waved his hand Gathering the dissipating energy and absorbed it into his body this was pure dragon soul energy immensely Ben official for his dragon soul cultivation as he absorbed more and more dragon soul energy the golden dragon soul in his Danon grew visibly larger I in less than half a day wongon completely absorbed the energy from the ghostly blue dragon soul causing the golden dragon soul in his Danton to expand to 115 M excellent the dragon soul has grown once more Wong tion felt a sense of satisfaction and shifted his Focus back to the hundreds of graves in the melum with the skeletal Dragon defeated I can now proceed as I wish without hesitation Wong tion harnessed his dragon shei and exerted Force upon the hundreds of graves below causing them to explode open and reveal the pristine White Bones within with a flick of his wrist a refreshing Breeze swept through the entire melum dispersing the foul stinch of Decay from the graves after completing these tasks won initiated his Grand excavation of corpses ding congratulations host for discovering a profound level corpse earning 10 years of spiritual energy did ding congratulations host for discovering an earth level corpse earning 20 years of spiritual energy ding congratulations host for discovering a yellow- level corpse earning one year of spiritual energy among the hundreds of skeletal Remains the quality varied significantly the majority were yellow level corpses yielding rewards of one year of spiritual energy while a small number were profound level corpses granting 10 years of spiritual energy and only two were Earth level corpses each yielding 20 years of spirit spiritual energy after sifting through so many remains wongon accured a total of over 300 years of spiritual energy as a reward not bad at all it has absorbed over 300 years of spiritual energy with a mere thought Wong tion absorbed and refined all the spiritual energy accumulated over these three centuries the nine spiritual veins swiftly activated and the astonishing transformation rate of 95% allowed wangon to absorb a substantial surge of dragon energy leaving him with an almost overwhelming sensation of being filled to the brim so much dragon energy all absorbed Wong tion promptly settled cross-legged in midair focusing intently on assimilating the transformed dragon energy as he continued to absorb the energy both his body and the dragon soul within his Danon underwent further Evolution and enhancement this process of absorption lasted for an entire day and night after fully absorbing nearly 300 years worth of dragon energy his strength ascended to the midstage of the earth immortal realm while the dragon soul and his Danon grew by 3 m reaching a height of 118 M few I have finally broken through to the midstage of the earth Immortal Realm upon opening his eyes wongon felt an unparalleled sense of relief drawing one step closer to invincibility in the world after completing his cultivation wongon utilized the dragon energy to restore over a 100 Graves covering them with earth once more the individuals interred here were without coffins having been buried directly in the soil and Wong tion ensured they were laid to rest peacefully once he finished all this Wong tion landed at the entrance of the melum emperor taone I have arrived he reached out to push the door only for it to swing open unexpectedly come in I been waiting for you for quite some time a deep resonant voice echoed from within the melum I as this the voice of Emperor taong he has indeed cultivated a dragon soul and judging by his tone it seems he has long anticipated my arrival Wong tion adjusted his breathing and stepped into the melum as soon as he entered he was taken AB by the site before him chapter 145 the conditions for Emperor taizong's corpse examination inside the melum of Emperor taong lay a world unto itself vast in size surpassing even the entire Imperial Palace this miniature World resembled an island surrounded by lakes the island was adorned with various spiritual flowers herbs and trees with a Meandering minor spiritual vein running through it exuding an overwhelming Aura of spiritual energy it the center of the island coiled a colossal blue dragon soul Wong tion you have arrived your spiral dragon cultivation method proves exceedingly effective the massive head of Emperor taong turned towards Wong tion spiral dragon cultivation method Wong tion was momentarily taken aback when did he teach emper taong the spiral dragon cultivation method it was Emperor woo Who informed me that your spiral dragon cultivation method greatly AIDS in the cultivation of dragon souls the dragon soul of Emperor taong elaborated Wong tion then realized that his off-hand comment about cultivating like a dragon had spread throughout the entire Royal melum prompting several ancestors to bestow a name upon ited as long as it benefits the ancestors that is enough wongon humbly replied Emperor wuo mentioned that you seek to borrow cultivation resources am I correct the dragon soul of Emperor taong fixed its gaze intently on Wong tion causing him to feel a twinge of unease yes in addition to seeking cultivation resources I also wish to pay my respects to the true form of the ancestor I wonder if that would be permissible Wong tion refrained from directly stating his desire to examine the corpse opting instead for a more tactful approach that is acceptable as long as you assist me in completing a particular task I can grant you these requests and even provide additional cultivation resources Emperor taong outlined the conditions he had prepared earlier what task Wong tion inquired bowing respectfully he anticipated that it would not be so straightforward to access Emperor Tong's corpse but he had mentally prepared himself before entering help me venture to moonfall Valley and capture the nine-headed AO Emperor taong instructed moonfall Valley the nine-headed AO upon hearing these terms Wong tion suddenly recalled that he had yet to retrieve the sacred BEAST's blood among the nine materials promised to ancestors xua the nine-headed AO a sacred beast born of the Union between a dragon and a flood Dragon Bears Dragon Blood making its blood comparable to that of a dragon indeed I require Dragon Blood and a living Dragon for the ritual sacrifice to facilitate the Breakthrough of the dragon soul Emperor taong explained patiently without concealing his intentions the choice of the nine-headed AO for the ritual sacrifice was a reluctant decision the Dutch Yen Dynasty's excessive dragon hunting had forced all Dragon Clans to migrate overseas to spiral dragon island leaving no choice but to resort to the nine-headed AO as a substitute understood I shall procure it for you at once wongon had long wished to visit at moonfall Valley firstly to obtain the sacred BEAST's blood which was one of the nine materials ancestors jishua sought secondly to assist the fox spirit in lifting the seal on its physical form thereby allowing its soul to undergo reincarnation a promise Wong tion had previously made which must be fulfilled with the addition of Emperor taizong's request it seemed he had no choice but to venture to moonfall Valley moreover given his current strength at the midstage of the earth Immortal Realm subduing the nine- headed AO should be relatively manageable I shall await your good news here however exercise caution for the nine-headed AO has cultivated for thousands of years and possesses the strength of the earth Immortal Realm Emperor taong earnestly warned this remark indicated that Emperor taong had encountered the nine-headed AO before and likely found himself unable to defeat it which is why he sought Wong tion's assistance Wong tion was somewhat surprised by the nine-headed AO strength he initially thought he could easily handle it with his current capabilities but now he realized he would need to approach with utmost seriousness rest assured ancestor I will deliver good news shortly I take my leave now after clasping his hands in respect to Emperor taong wongon turned and vanished Into Thin Air when he reappeared he found himself outside the capital city as he landed he was met with a cacophony of battlecries and explosions the fluctuations of spiritual energy extraordinarily intense wongon soared through the air scanning the scene below and was astonished to discover that his eldest brother and eth brother were jointly assaulting the capital city with the battle proving exceedingly Fierce looks like the fourth brother and Su janon have their work cut out for them but I hope they don't perish I still wish to deal with them personally a slight smirk graced Wong tion's lips as he recalled the enmity between these two after observing for a moment Wong tion hastened towards moonfall Valley prioritizing his own strength enhancement moonfall Valley was not far from the capital just over 100 km away and with Wong tion's current strength heed arrived in mere moments I this moonfall Valley Wong tion hovered in the air gazing down at the valley below he noticed that it was surrounded by mountains with only a single concealed mountain path for entry and exit controlled by the nine-tailed fox demon Clan requiring their permission for Access moonfall Valley was perpetually shrouded in Mist rendering it nearly impossible to discern its interior from the outside thus it was quite challenging for an ordinary person to enter however this posed no difficulty for Wong TI he summoned his spiritual power and waved his hand towards the valley below instantly dispersing a portion of the Mist enveloping moonfall Valley to his surprise only half of it was cleared it seemed he would need to exert more effort activating his wind God body wongon Unleashed an even greater force producing several gusts of wind with successive whirlwinds swirling downwards he finally succeeded in completely dispelling the Perpetual mist of moonfall Valley revealing its true form looking down he saw that moonfall Valley was a swampy expanse Rife with toxic miasma making survival nearly impossible for any living being though the north of the swamp lay a dilapidated melum marked by a stone tablet it SE this was the burial sight of the fox Spirits physical form wong tion's gaze lingered on the melum for a moment before he resumed his search for the nine-headed AO within moonfall Valley however after scanning several times with his naked eye he detected no trace of the nine-headed AO it seemed it was hiding beneath the swamp perhaps he should use dragon energy to sense it seeing that the naked eye yielded no results Wong tion immediately harnessed his dragon energy to sense the entirety of moonfall Valley the nine-headed AO was at its core a dragon and its cultivation was also based on dragon energy making this approach exceedingly fitting indeed after employing his dragon energy Wong tion quickly pinpointed the location of the nine-headed AO however just as he locked onto the n9e headed AO it too had sensed him from beneath the swamped ey in the M of the swamp the dragon energy was remarkably potent confirming that the nine-headed AO had indeed reached the Earth's Immortal Realm Wong tion remained Vigilant refraining from making any rash movements achieving the Earth Immortal Realm indicated that the nine-headed AO was formidable acting impulsively could lead to a Counterattack just as Wong tion contemplated how best to proceed with his attack the nine-headed AO hidden beneath the swamp lunged at him first its nine massive heads emanating nine distinct and ominous Energies a truly terrifying sight chapter 146 the terrifying power of immortal techniques Wong tion was taken aback by the ninee headed ao's sudden assault the nine colossal heads opened wide in a simultaneous attempt to bite him moving with astonishing speed almost reaching him in the blink of an eye however in the next instant Wong tion's figure vanished from sight the nine-headed ao's attack missed and it felt a chilling sensation creeping up its back point9 Dragon Palm Wong tion reappeared behind the nine-headed AO and immediately Unleashed a nine Dragon Palm strike instantly nine streams of golden dragon energy surged towards the nine-headed AO their momentum akin to crashing waves an Unstoppable Force the nine-headed AO reacted swiftly with its nine massive heads unleashing nine different energies gold wood water fire earth poison wind Thunder and dragon breath the nine types of energy coales into nine energy dragons roaring as they charged toward the nine streams of Golden Dragon and energy the two forces collided almost instantaneously resulting in an explosive Display of Power both parties were at the Earth Immortal Realm cultivating dragon energy however Wong tion's innate Talent surpassed that of the nine-headed AO and with his dragon bones fully transformed his dragon energy had evolved into Dragon King energy in contrast the nine-headed ao's dragon energy remained ordinary consequently the nine Dragon energies produced by Wong tion's nine Dragon Palm effortlessly obliterated the nine types of energy emitted by the nine-headed AO striking it with Incredible speed alas the nine-headed AO emitted a heart-wrenching howl and then its entire form plummeted heavily into the murky swamp below with a thunderous crash the nine-headed AO vanished into the depths of the Meer Wong tion furrowed his brow in concentration simultaneously expanding his Dragon Aura strangely this time he could not sense the presence of the nine-headed AO within the swamp could it be that this creature could also conceal its aura Wong tion summoned over 20 swords from the system space just in case after the nine-headed AO fell into the swamp it did not reappear and its Aura disappeared without a traced it seemed that after some probing the nine-headed AO realized that Wong tion's strength surpassed its own thus opting to hide away perhaps in search of an opportunity to launch a surprise attack once more if you do not wish to show yourself then I shall compel you to emerge wongon harnessed the power of the wind God and unleashed the celestial technique Whirlwind and Cloud instantly he radiated a dazzling silver light and the surrounding wind spirit energy surged violently the clouds above began to churn as if Twisted by an immense Force I shall overturn the entire swamp let us see where you can hide now with a Resolute gaze won unleashed the full force of the Whirlwind and Cloud upon the swamp below the clouds above suddenly rolled downward with a devastating momentum as if intent on crushing everything in their path the surrounding winds howled fiercely uprooting the trees around moonfall Valley in an instant even those that had stood for Millennia were obliterated countless Boulders Broke Free from the mountain side soaring into the air the sky was akin to the onset of Apocalypse darkened by the swirling debris witnessing the might of the Whirlwind and Cloud Wong tion felt a twinge of astonishment indeed Celestial techniques wield terrifying power the Colossal winds soon crashed into the swamp within moonfall Valley and in an instant the Meer was lifted into the air however to avoid void damaging the fox fairy's tomb he deliberately restrained his strength in that small area as countless swamps were swept into the air the concealed nine-headed AO was utterly exposed so you were hiding here prepare to meet your demise wongan waved his hand forcefully and an avalanche of swamp mud shattered stones and wooden debris surged toward him alongside this the clouds above pressed down fiercely as if the heavens themselves were collapsing the nine-headed AO trembled slightly at this fearsome sight although it had reached the Earth Immortal Realm it lacked knowledge of celestial techniques having cultivated solely through the spiritual energy of moonfall Valley and the bloodline of true dragons it was utterly unprepared for such an assault you think to kill me it will not be so simple defiantly the nine-headed AO roared its body suddenly swelling tfold in an instant resembling a small mountain now enlarged the nine-headed AO Unleashed its draconic might and expelled a nine-color Dragon Pearl from its ma absorb it all the nine-headed AO frantically activated the nine color Dragon Pearl which erupted in a dazzling display of colors under the radiant glow of the Dragon Pearl the surrounding winds and dark clouds were drawn into it as if a black hole had emerged consuming everything around truly formidable this Dragon Clan a mere nine-headed AO having cultivated for Millennia could withstand human Celestial techniques with just a single Dragon Pearl Wong tion could no longer afford to be be careless he immediately summoned the 20 plus swords beside him and unleashed the 10,000 swords returned to origin among these swords half were sacred swords and five or six were Celestial swords combined with Wong tion's Own Strength which had reached The midar Immortal Realm thus this iteration of the 10,000 swords return to origin was unprecedentedly powerful with countless sword energies soaring through the air as if they sought to Rin space itself the nine-headed AO initially preoccupied with countering the celestial technique Whirlwind and Cloud widened its eyes in shock upon seeing the 10,000 swords return to origin approach true Dragon defense the nine-headed AO bellowed and a resounding dragon roar echoed across the sky as a nine-color dragon or a shield enveloped its form a the moment the true Dragon defense manifested the sword energies of the 10,000 swords returned to origin struck countless sword energies collided with the true Dragon defense the immense damage threatening to shatter the nine-headed ao's strongest defense such form itable sword energy however you cannot kill me so easily the nine-headed AO simultaneously expelled Dragon blood from its nine mouths upon contact with the Dragon Blood the true Dragon defense blazed brilliantly barely withstanding the assault of the 10,000 swords returned to origin as as long as my dragon pearl absorbs your wind energy I will soon have the opportunity to Counterattack the nine-headed AO thought to itself yet Wong tion would not afford it the luxury of time Celestial technique spirit explosion Wong tion activated his nine spiritual veins unleashing all the spiritual energy within him ethereal and formless the spiritual energy rapidly adhered to the true Dragon defense and with a powerful shout from wongon it erupted simultaneously a single Spirit Explosion might not cause much harm but when countless Spirit explosions detonated at once the resulting power was enough to shake the heavens and earth boom boom boom the might of the Spirit Explosion instantly obliterated the true Dragon defense with the true Dragon defense shattered the 10,000 swords returned to origin surged forth unimpeded how could this be why does he possess so many Celestial techniques despair flooded the heart of the nine-headed AO chapter 147 Tomb of the fox Fairy having faced consecutive Celestial techniques the nine-headed AO was plunged into utter despair the opponent's strength was Far Beyond its expectations even with all its might it could not withstand Wong tion's Onslaught with the true Dragon defense breached Wong tion's 10,000 swords returned to origin pierced through the nine-headed ao's formidable body without hindrance the nine-headed AO let out a cry of Agony as torrent of crimson blood erupted from its wounds splattering into the air before transforming into a rain of blood cascading toward the ground you who are you why have you come to kill me the severely injured nine-headed AO was unwilling to perish without understanding do I need a reason to kill you Wong tion waved his hand and a multitude of blood rain coales into a blood orb before him thus one of the nine materials the blood of a sacred Beast was now in Wong tion's possession only the lingl wood and the nine young Iron Heart remained these two should be found within the palace treasury I will seek them out there in due time Wong tion planned to take the opportunity to visit the palace and gather the final two materials after collecting the Dragon Blood Wong tion's gaze fell upon the nine-headed ao's nine-color Dragon Pearl a dragon pearl of the earth immortal realm such a rarity I shall Take Your Dragon Pearl as well an a flash Wong tion seized the nine-color Dragon Pearl into his grasp upon holding the Dragon Pearl he sensed a powerful and Rich Dragon Aura emanating from it such a potent Dragon Pearl far stronger than any he had previously encountered Wong tion felt both astonished and delighted absorbing the dragon Aura within the Pearl would undoubtedly Elevate his strength further the severely wounded nine-headed AO could only watch helplessly as its Dragon Pearl was taken away ultimately succumbing to unconsciousness from blood loss Wong tion did not seize the opportunity to eliminate the nine-headed AO for Emperor taone required the living nine-headed AO for a sacrifice to prevent it from bleeding excessively and dying he even supplied it with a breath of dragon Aura to keep it alive moreover to prevent the creature from figing unconsciousness and fleeing wongon encircled it with a small sword formation created from over 20 swords trapping it within having completed these preparations Wong tion then approached the Tomb of the fox fairy earlier while employing the celestial technique Whirlwind and Cloud he had consciously restrained his power in this small area to preserve the fox fairy's tomb intact at so this is the Tomb of the fox fairy Wong tion retrieved the moon Fox Pearl from the system space but it showed no reaction at it seemed that the remnant soul of the fox fairy remained in Slumber Wong tion did not attempt to awaken the fox fairy soul but instead focused his attention on the tomb itself in front of the Tomb stood a stone tablet inscribed with two names ya and yating is yting the fox fairies name and yaa was she the Vixen who had caused the fox fairies demise why would her name appear here is this tomb a shared resting place Wong tion could not discern the truth and realize that only by opening the tomb could Clarity be attained however as he approached the tomb a formidable Aura of the fox demon surged forth attempting to repel him yet such power was insufficient to deter wongon with a mere wave of his hand he shattered the fox demon energy open I command you Wong tion summoned his Dragon Aura and struck the tomb with a powerful Palm causing it to burst open and reveal a jade white double coffin within the coffin radiated a rich demonic energy indeed it is a double coffin wongon felt a surge of excitement a double coffin meant there were two corpses inside granting him another opportunity for a body searching reward the coffin was enveloped in overwhelming demonic energy making it nearly impossible for an ordinary person to approach however for Wong tion this posed no challenge with a slight wave he dispelled the Demonic energy clinging to the coffin then grasped the coffin lid and effortlessly lifted it open Wong tion had anticipated a foul stinch of Decay yet to his astonishment A peculiar fragrance wafted from within reminiscent of the scent of Bones from beings of celestial level or higher such a fragrance could only emanate from a Heavenly grade corpse this could be a significant opportunity the fox fairy being of celestial Cal filled him with excitement just as he lifted the coffin lid the moon Fox Pearl in his hand finally reacted apologies everyone I have matters to attend to at home today and cannot devote time to writing in the end I hastily managed to pin a chapter which may be a bit short I will make it up tomorrow chapter 148 breaking the curse Rune when Wong tion lifted the coffin lid the moon Fox Pearl in his hand suddenly emitted a radiant pink glow pulsating rhythmically as if it had come to life Fox Immortal I've kept my promise and brought you to your true form wong tion declared aware that the fox Immortal had awakened Ino sooner had he spoken than the pink light from the Moon Fox Pearl intensified ultimately coalescing into an ethereal figure the long missed Fox Immortal thank you but I need your assistance to remove the curse runes afflicting me otherwise my soul cannot reincarnate the fox Immortal implored very well wongon replied promptly extending his head into the coffin what he saw AST him inside lay two corpses of fox demons their bodies well preserved and seemingly Untouched by Decay as though they were merely asleep Wong tion immediately recognized one of the male corpses as that of the fox Immortals True Form while the stunning female demon beside him was a stranger could this female fox demon be yaoyu Wong tion's gaze shifted to the remnants of the fox Immortal Soul indeed she is Yao you I never imagined she would die like this and tur alongside me the fox Immortal clenched her fist her eyes briming with Fury her demise was the result of Yao Yu's actions now her enemy lay dead yet she found herself unable to exact revenge and what infuriated her further was that this wretched woman lay beside her in death young Master tion please remove her I do not wish to share a grave with her the fox Immortal requested her eyes filled with resentment from her tone Wong tion understood that her hatred for yau was genuine no problem he readily agreed and reached out to move yau's corpse the moment his hand made contact with Yao yunk body the systems voice echoed in his mind ding congratulations host you have touched a Heavenly great corpse and obtained the heart of yaoyu the heart of yaoyu is this Yao yunk heart Wong tion was perplexed why would the system reward him with a fox Demon's Heart as he pondered his hand instinctively brushed against Yao Yu's chest and upon gentle probing he was astonished to discover that yaoyu had no heart her chest was sunken yau lacked a heart could it be that the system had taken it Wong tion instinctively pulled down Yao yunk collar confirming his suspicion yaoyu indeed had no heart and the wound on her chest appeared to have been forcefully gouged out thus the heart of Yao Yu was not taken by the system but had been removed by someone else why was yau's heart taken Wong tion sensed a story lurked within yau's fate he decided to place the heart of yaoyu inside her chest later rather than hastily inserting the heart Wong tion placed yau's corpse outside the coffin he then reached out to Yao Yu once more ding congratulations host you have touched a Heavenly great corpse and obtained the mirror of celestial demons the mirror of celestial demons this was evidently a treasure Wong tion's heart surged with delight at last he had found a useful artifact let us try again Wong tion felt a thrill from the experience and reached out to touch yau again this time however the system did not Grant him a reward at it seemed Yao you was merely at The Immortal Realm he then shifted his Focus to the immortal's true form within the coffin after all the fox Immortal had been at the celestial level before her demise and the rewards from touching her would undoubtedly be extraordinary yet as Wong tion eagerly approached the fox Immortals corpse a formidable surge of runic energy repelled him causing him to stagger back several steps before regaining his balance be cautious my true form is ens snared by a curse Rune anyone who approaches will be rebuffed by its energy the fox Immortal warned urgently not not wishing for Wong tion to encounter harm after they had come this far this curse Rune is quite powerful indeed to have pushed me back wongon mused now serious as a being at the Earth Immortal level being forced back by the Rune was a testament to its potency indeed at that moment I was at the celestial level only a curse Rune of that caliber could bind my true form your ability to retreat indicates your exceptional strength perhaps even nearing the celestial level otherwise an ordinary Earth Immortal would likely be severely injured from such an encounter the fox Immortal explained Wong tion gasped in astonishment he had not anticipated the curse runes level to be so high if that is the case how can I remove the curse Rune afflicting you wongon inquired somewhat at a loss as he had no means to dispel a Celestial level Rune consume the fox Immortal replied succinctly consume gradually exhaust the curse Run's energy with dragon shei Wong tion appeared to grasp the concept precisely although the curse Rune is formidable its energy cannot be sustained indefinitely you can continually replenish energy so by consuming it bit by bit the run's energy will gradually weaken eventually leading to its depletion the fox Immortal elaborated her Insight was sound while the curse Rune was indeed of celestial grade it was still merely a rune and could not receive the nourishment of spiritual energy Wong tion as an earth Immortal could swiftly replenish any expended dragon shei or spiritual energy if he continued this method it was indeed possible to exhaust the run's energy though this method may seem rudimentary it is undeniably effective won acknowledged realizing this was his only viable option start by using a minimal amount of power to deplete it the less power you release the weaker its rebound will be conversely the more power you unleash the greater the rebound will be the fox Immortal advised again understood I shall give it a try wongon declared summoning a hint of dragon Chi to strike at the curse ruin on the fox Immortals corpse as the dragon shei approached the fox Immortal true form the run's energy rebounded almost instantaneously obliterating his initial attempt with residual Force surging toward him Wong tion waved his hand to dissipate the rebounding energy the strength of the celestial level indeed surpasses mine but the rununk energy is ultimately inert let me see how I can wear you down wongon resolved having grasped the technique he summoned another wave of dragon Chi this time stronger than before and once again he easily dispersed the rebounding energy the cycle continued third fourth fifth attempts time slipped by unnoticed as Wong tion repeated this process incrementally increasing the strength of his Dragon Chi to expedite the consumption of the curse Run's energy be why the fifth day as the sun set the energy of the curse Rune had finally been nearly exhausted on this final attempt I should be able to shatter this curse Rune Wong tion settled down regulating his breathing and optimizing his Dragon Chek then Unleashed a powerful strike point9 golden strands of dragon shei surged toward the curse Rune at it emitted a massive rebound of energy yet with its energy nearly depleted it was insufficient to obliterate Wong tion's nine strands of golden dragon shei after releasing one last wave of feeble energy the curse Rune was ultimately Shattered by wongon that I did it the curse Rune has been destroyed wongon exclaimed with unrestrained joy having endured 5 days of monotonous effort an experience that would test anyone's patience the success he had longed for filled him with Indescribable Elation finally I can touch the fox Immortal corpse it was no easy feat W tion stood eager to reach out and make contact with the fox Immortals remains chapter 149 the profound joy and sorrow of the Mortal realm Wong tion spent 5 days meticulously depleting the curse Run's energy affixed to the fox Immortal upon its removal he immediately extended his hand toward her corpse this was a Heavenly grade body and the rewards would doubtedly be unprecedentedly bountiful heightening Wong tion's anticipation ding congratulations host you have touched a Heavenly great corpse and obtained a century of demon power A Century of demon power right from the first reward was it truly this lavish regrettably as a human he could not absorb demon power Wong tion felt a Pang of discomfort it was akin to an exquisite beauty standing before him completely undraped allowing him to indulge in her Allure yet leaving him powerless to act what a Pity to waste this Century of demon power how he wished he could absorb and transform it Wong tion felt an unprecedented sense of frustration forget it let us try again and see what other rewards I can obtain taking a deep breath he resignedly reached out once more to touch the fox Immortals corpse as's hand made contact the systems voice chimed again ding congratulations host you have touched a Heavenly great corpse and obtained another Century of demon power what the heck are you kidding me w ton head throbbed with irritation If the previous instance was like an exquisite beauty then now it felt like two stunning Beauties stood before him completely bare inviting his every desire yet he remained impotent merely watching and swallowing hard the combined total of two centuries of demon power if only it could be converted into dragon shei or spiritual energy it would be sufficient to elevate his strength once more Wong tion clenched his fists in frustration then took a deep breath to adjust his mindset in a rush no rush let us try once more surely I can uncover something valuable next time with a renewed perspective Wong tion extended his hand for a third attempt to touch the fox Immortals remains ding congratulations host you have encountered a Heavenly great corpse and obtained a Century's worth of demon power when the same voice echoed for the third time Wong tion felt an overwhelming urge to smash the system with a punch damn it what do I need so much demon power for I require something of actual utility Wong tion cursed the systems incompetence in his heart however the system offered no response thus with his frustration finding no Outlet Wong tion's temper flared and he mused that should anyone provoke him at that moment they would likely meet a tragic fate curse system if you dare to grant me more demon power next time I will destroy you after venting his indignation wongon reached out for the fox Spirits corpse for the fourth time yet this time nothing happened not even the so-called demon power manifest I ask that all it's gone Wong tion's expression soured after eagerly anticipating the fox Spirits corpse he was left with a useless 300 years of demon power causing a knot of frustration to form in his chest this was the first time he had encountered something so utterly worthless after rumaging through so many corpses unwilling to accept this outcome wongon tried a few more times confirming there was no reaction before letting out a weary sigh after all this effort it had all been in vain wongon was at a loss for words just as Wong tion was wallowing in despair the fox Spirit freed from its physical restraints emanated a white halo around its Soul this was a sign that the soul was about to reincarnate the fox Spirit was overjoyed it had long awaited this day young Master tion thank you for helping me lift the corporeal restriction I can now be reborn the fox Spirit expressed its deep gratitude to wongon for without his assistance it would have remained trapped indefinitely congratulations to you in your next life do refrain from becoming a fox demon wongon replied nonchalantly having exerted so much effort to Aid another without gaining anything for himself his mood was understandably dampened if given the chance I could be your son in the next life that way I would have your protection from birth with a lightened heart the fox Spirit gested unburdened by any reservations all right if you call me father now I might just allow you to be my son Wong tion remarked feeling slightly better the fox Spirit however refrained from calling out for reincarnation was beyond its control the cycle of Fate was predetermined I am about to reincarnate everything from this life will no longer concern me the fox Spirits gaze lingered on the moonlit Fox the woman it had loved throughout its life yet had been ruthlessly betrayed by it felt a tumult of love and hate but now with reincarnation on the horizon all would be forgotten be why the way young Master tion before I reincarnate there there is a secret I must share about the moon Fox Pearl it possesses another function the fox Spirit pondered eager to Express gratitude what function Wong tion's eyes brightened if he could unlock a new skill from the Moon Fox Pearl it would serve as a commendable reward the moon Fox Pearl can transform the E and young energies of the world for instance our demon energy is e and through the moon Fox Pearl it can be converted into spiritual energy completely without loss similarly spiritual energy can be transformed back into demon energy the fox Spirit explained this Revelation filled wangon with Eli he had initially thought the 300 years of demon power would be of no use but now realized it could still serve a purpose there was no Greater Joy in the Mortal realm than this why didn't T you mention this earlier wongon exclaimed excitement coursing through him akin to being presented with a miraculous remedy after witnessing three stunning triplets before him all while remaining unresponsive suddenly discovering a remedy nearby that could restore his Vitality was more than enough to send his Spirit soaring I just remembered now well I must reincarnate until next life the fox spirit said is it prepared for rebirth only to be halted by wongon wait I have something to tell you as well Edo what is it a glimmer of hope flickered in the fox Spirits eyes it concerns moonlit her death seems to hold deeper Secrets after a moment's hesitation Wong tion divulged the truth I no longer care about how she died I am about to be reborn and everything from this life will be concluded the fox Spirit appeared indifferent to moonlets fate very well Wong tion felt a sense of helplessness yet still retrieved the heart of moonlet that the system had rewarded him this heart appeared in Wong tion's hand still faintly pulsating though its Vitality seemed diminished akin to a flickering flame on the verge of extinguishing yet it bore a potent essence of the fox demon that kept it alive this heart is the fox Spirit suddenly paused its journey toward reincarnation turning its gaze to the heart sensing The Familiar Aura within this is moonlets heart which I acquired from elsewhere now it rightfully returns to its owner Wong tion carefully removed the covering from moonlet es body and placed the heart back into her sunken chest upon its return the heart radiated a soft pink glow the luminescence intensified until it coalesced into an unparalleled Beauty with nine Fox tailes trailing behind her chapter 150 lovers finally United this is a nine-tailed fox de could she be the remnant soul of moonlet wongon immediately recalled the significance of those Ninetales the fox Spirit upon seeing the spectral figure of the nine-tailed fox felt a Tremor of emotion though it had loathed this woman with every fiber of its being witnessing her Remnant Soul stirred something within for she was the one it had loved for Millennia as moonlets Remnant Soul emerged she seemed disoriented but once her gaze settled on the fox Spirit it remained transfixed eye in that moment the unfamiliar surrounding faded into insignificance Ding is that you moonlight's Remnant trembled her eyes briming with excitement and disbelief I is I but what of it my corporeal seal has been lifted and I shall soon reincarnate are you disappointed the fox Spirit cold in demeanor offered no warmth and its eyes held a hint of resentment upon hearing this tone moonlit felt a Pang of Sorrow ding let me explain I did not betray you back then moonlets Remnant Soul hurriedly attempted to to clarify but was abruptly cut off by the fox Spirits icy retort no need for explanations it is all in the past I shall reincarnate and let bygones be bygones I have let go with a sigh the fox Spirit appeared to have moved on yet deep within it still clung to the past. no I must explain it was the Black Fox King who controlled my soul leading to your demise the one who killed you was the Black Fox King who used my identity to approach you and then took the opportunity to strike do Moon Remnant poured out the truth of that fateful day his goal was to seize the moon Fox Pearl to dominate the entire fox demon Clan upon seeing you escape with the moon Fox Pearl he sealed my corporeal form with a curse preventing me from reincarnating for eternity moreover he extracted my heart and imprisoned my soul within thereby denying me rebirth these Revelations caused the fox Spirit to shudder slightly it had never imagined that its death was entwined in such a conspiracy Doo you think I will take your word for this the Fox Spirit struggled to accept the truth for Millennia it had sought Vengeance against moonlet only to discover that it was the Black Fox King's Sinister plot yet inexplicably it harbored a flicker of hope that this was indeed the truth everything I say is true ding believe me moonlets Remnant beseeched urgently desperate to clarify with the one it loved check my chest the wound from where my heart was taken must still be there Wong tion upon hearing this finally understood it it was indeed the Black Fox King who had taken the heart I have examined it and moonlets heart was indeed removed but I have since retrieved it and returned it Wong tion hastily explained fearing the fox Spirit might not believe him the fox Spirit remained silent approaching moonlit s corporeal form to inspect closely and indeed discovered the mark of the extraction upon seeing the wound the fox Spirit exhaled a sigh of relief be why the way there is a nine-headed AO in the moonfall valley when the black fox King sealed your corporeal form and extracted my heart he must have witnessed everything from the swamp below suddenly moonlets Remnant recalled something and began searching frantically if you can find this nine-headed AO it will prove my words are true the nine-headed AO wongon felt a twinge of embarrassment he had nearly killed it himself only to be spared by the taong emperor's insistence to keep it alive had it not been for that intervention he would have likely finished it off in their previous encounter yes if we can Loc the nine-headed AO it will verify everything I have said moonlets Remnant glanced around finally spotting the nearly lifeless nine-headed AO lying in the swamp nearby and its face lit up with joy the nine-headed ao's presence was faint as if on the brink of death moonlit Remnant also spotted it and recognizing the urgency urged hurry save him at the very least he must recount what transpired before he passes with a sense of urgency moonlets Remnant floated toward the nine-headed AO and the fox Spirit quickly followed eager to ascertain the truth of moonlets claims however Wong tion arrived first at the nine-headed AO side the creature had lost too much blood and lapsed into unconsciousness had wongon not given it a breath of dragon energy moments ago it would have succumbed hey wake up Wong tion exclaimed smacking the largest of the nine-headed ao's heads while channeling another breath of dragon energy into it hoping to Rouse it from its stuper the force of the slap jolted the ailing nine-headed AO awake Awakening the nine-headed AO beheld wongon his eyes filled with trepidation ow I beseech you to answer me truthfully should you utter even a single falsehood I shall instantly end your life and seal your soul so that you may never attain rebirth wongon threatened what is it you wish to know the nine-headed AO replied weakly what transpired with the two corpses in moonlet Valley wongon inquired earnestly this question was also on the minds of ya and yaang who watched the ailing nine AO with eager anticipation for a definitive response if I divulge this to you will you spare my life the nine-headed AO not foolish sought to negotiate for his survival do you believe you possess any bargaining power at this moment Wong tion asked furrowing his brow then I shall remain silent you may strike me down the nine-headed AO suddenly bowed his head adopting a posture of submission upon witnessing this both Yao and yaang became anxious wongon too was taken aback this creature was quite Adept at preserving his own life very well as long as you provide an honest answer to my previous question I shall spare you Wong tion replied having never intended to kill him and now granting him a favor agreed the nine-headed AO relieved at the prospect of survival ceased his prattling buried here are two Fox demons I am unaware of how the male fox demon met his end but the heart of the female fox demon was extracted by a black fox who sealed the male's corporeal form with a talisman before departing the nine-headed AO recounted the events of that year in meticulous detail his account entirely corroborated yau's assertions hearing this the fox Immortal yaang ceased to Harbor any doubts yaang do you now believe me yaua lingering Spirit gazed sorrowfully at the fox Immortal I believe I believe Yao dang suddenly embraced yaa trembling with excitement he had not aired in his affections ya remained the one he deeply cherished yaang at last we are reunited yaha held the fox Immortal tightly after thousands of years the two loving Fox demons finally embraced once more how wonderful it is yet another pair of lovers United Wang tion mused deeply lamenting their imminent separation into reincarnation moon to see you once more before we are reborn I Harbor no regrets in this lifetime the fox Immortal yting clung to yaa reluctant to part but the time for reincarnation was drawing near should he miss this moment he would be forever barred from rebirth let us meet again in our next life will we be together once more yaha aware that reincarnation was inevitable could only hope for their continuation in the next life indeed we shall be together in the next life as yting spoke he lowered his head to kiss yaha the instant their lips met their lingering Souls began to blur and swiftly vanished Into The Ether chapter 151 Yun Rua's unceasing nausea observing the gradual disappearance of their souls won sighed wistfully at the sky lover have indeed found their Union may you rekindle your bond in the next life after withdrawing his gaze he did not hasten to return to the Imperial Tomb but instead sat cross-legged he had yet to expend the 300 years of demonic energy it would be a waste to squander it sitting down Wong tion retrieved the moon Fox Pearl from his system space to absorb demonic energy he must utilize this artifact alas the fox Immortal did not instruct me on how to employ the moon Fox Pearl to convert demonic energy before his reincarnate wongon lamented now he had no choice but to experiment on his own system assist me in converting my 300 years of demonic energy into dragon energy using the moon Fox Pearl too his surprise this attempt proved successful ding 300 years of demonic energy has been converted into 270 years of dragon energy as the systems voice faded the moon Fox Pearl radiated a brilliant pink glow and dense dragon energy began to waft forth 90% conversion this this exceeds my expectations wongon rejoiced seizing the opportunity to absorb the drifting dragon energy into his body the dragon energy transformed by the moon Fox Pearl was exceptionally pure requiring no further refinement as he directly integrated it into his Danon with the continuous influx of dragon energy the golden dragon soul within his Danon grew ever stronger while Wong tion's physical form also rapidly enhanced from a distance he appeared enveloped in a golden aura exuding an air of formidable Majesty time Slipped Away unnoticed and upon fully absorbing and transforming the 270 years of dragon energy his strength surged from the midstage of Earth Immortal to the Pinnacle of Earth Immortal were it not for the constraints of a bottleneck his power could have ascended even further his golden dragon soul expanded to an impressive 150 M if Unleashed it would be a truly colossal entity upon opening his eyes a beam of Golden Light shot forth sharp and piercing excellent I have finally attained the Pinnacle of Earth Immortal I am but a step away from breaking through to Celestial Immortal Wong tion gazed down at the Moon Fox Pearl in his hand increasingly satisfied with its capabilities the functionality of the Moon Fox Pearl was tremendously beneficial with it his cultivation progress would accelerate significantly it is time to return to the Imperial Tomb Emperor taong awaits my return after stowing the moon Fox Pearl in his system space Wong tion realized that night had fallen a full moon hanging Hing high in the sky another full moon night it seems I must first visit the black tomb with a flicker of thought he made his decision the black tomb was an event that occurred once a month if he missed it he would have to wait another month whereas visiting Emperor taone could be done at any time having resolved this Wong tion stood and swiftly appeared before the nine-headed AO who still appeared Gravely weakened you promised me you would spare my life the nine-headed AO instinctively revealed a hint of fear upon seeing Wong tion I shall not slay you but I must take you to meet someone whether he spares you is a matter of your own fortune Wong tion smirked slightly not deceiving him at all who the nine-headed AO asked nervously you will find out in due time Wong tion did not Grant him the chance to refuse grasping the nine-headed ao's enormous form and lifting him into the air the already feeble nine-headed AO lacked the strength to resist allowing Wong tion to carry him toward the Imperial Tomb under the cover of night within mere moments Wong tion arrived above the Imperial Tomb ancestor I have brought the nine-headed AO Wong tion announced as he unceremoniously dropped the nine-headed AO from the sky causing him to land directly at the entrance of Emperor taong melum creating a sizable crater upon impact thank you young brother whatever you desire do not hesitate to ask Emperor taunk voice resonated from within the melum tinged with excitement I have other matters to attend to tonight I will visit you tomorrow after speaking Wong tion hurriedly flew toward the innermost depths of the Imperial Tomb the Moonlight deepened and as Wang tion descended from the air the entrance to the black tomb had already open he arrived just in time without hesitation he stepped inside the interior of the black tomb remained frigid but for w ton in his current state this chill posed no threat after having touched the Exquisite female corpse five times he wondered if he could still elicit further rewards from his previous experiences wongon had gleaned that the rewards obtained from touching Heavenly level corpses were not infinite the greater the strength of the individual in life the more opportunities one had to receive rewards the Exquisite female corpse before him had already yielded the most rewards among all corpses he had encountered whether he could obtain another reward remained to be seen Wong tion reached out to touch her face it felt cold and rigid entirely devoid of the warmth and softness he had experienced with Yun Rua ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly level corpse you have acquired a thousand years of energy Wong tion was elated a thousand years of demonic energy if converted into dragon energy using the moon Fox Pearl would yield 900 years of dragon energy such a massive amount of dragon energy would be sufficient for him to strive for the celestial Immortal Realm excellent what a tremendous gain however he held back his excitement and decided to touch the corpse once more to see if there were additional rewards containing his eagerness wongon extended his hand toward the female corpse once again just as his hand neared her a familiar energy suddenly expelled him from the vicinity meanwhile in the chamber of chilin Pavilion Yun Rua abruptly awoke from her Slumber sitting up in bed gasping for breath her delicate face pale and covered in a Sheen of fine sweat though her body no longer shivered as it had before why do I keep dreaming of someone touching me every time the full Moon Rises Yun Rua pondered indignantly just moments prior she had sensed the individual attempting to touch her again and had used her willpower to awaken forcefully preventing that person from making contact after much contemplation she still could not discern the reason and ultimately resolve to abandon the matter however upon calming down Yun Rua was surprised to find that she no longer felt as cold M I seem to be less cold could it be that my enhanced strength has made me less susceptible to the cold the more she considered it the more convinced she became of her hypothesis it seems I must intensify my training perhaps once I attain immortality this dream will cease Yun Rua was determined not to endure any further dreams of others touching her with resolve she prepared to begin her cultivation but just as she summoned her spiritual energy an intense wave of nausea struck making her feel as though she might vomit yet after wretching for a while nothing emerged ug Yun Rua patted her chest feeling somewhat better why do I feel nauseous upon this realization she began to wretch once more I have already reached the first rank why does my body still feel unwell you Chu was engulfed in a wave of astonishment and suspicion logically one would expect that after reaching the first grade realm the body would no longer succumb to illness especially considering her consistent and healthy diet after a moment of careful contemplation a sudden possibility struck her could it be chapter 152 Yun Chu's pregnancy although yunu had never given birth she had witnessed women in her household experiencing child birth thus possessing a monom of understanding regarding this matter could it be that I am pregnant the thought of her intimate en counters with Wong t on over the past month made the notion of pregnancy seem entirely plausible no I must seek a physician at dawn to confirm this she raised her gaze to the window realizing it was the early hours of the morning she would have to wait until daylight to consult a doctor The Waiting was agonizing and as she lay tossing and turning in bed sleep eluded her perhaps I should practice my cultivation though her mind remained Restless the mere thought of possibly carrying Wong tion's child filled her with an excitement she could scarcely contain this early morning felt like the longest she had ever experienced since her birth at long last when Dawn broke she hurriedly opened the door and stepped outside yunshu wished to keep her father and Hong unaware of her situation so she slipped out alone due to the early hour the medical clinic had yet to open and she waited for quite some time before the door finally swung open as soon as it did she stepped inside Dr Lou I have been experiencing frequent dry heaving lately but nothing comes up could you please examine me yunu said placing a silver Ingot on the table Dr Lou a middle-aged woman was one of the few female Physicians and although she initially felt some reluctance at being disturbed so early her hesitance vanished upon seeing the silver Ingot please have a seat and lay your hand flat on the table I shall take your pulse Dr Lu said in a calm tone while discreetly sliding the Ingot into her sleeve yunu complied resting her delicate snow white wrist on the table Dr Lou gently placed her hand on Yun Chu's wrist feeling for a moment before looking up at her congratulations my dear you are with child your dry heaving is a typical reaction to pregnancy Dr L stated matter of factly die I am pregnant yunk heart raced with exhilaration she was truly caring the child of her beloved tangu thank you Dr L here is your fee yinu said joyfully retrieving a gold ingot and placing it before Dr L before dashing back to chilin Pavilion a that moment Wang tion in the Royal melum remained blissfully unaware of yunu condition after acquiring a millennium's worth of demonic energy he immediately returned to his humble abode securing the door and instructing his servant to wait outside once these Arrangements were made wongon finally felt at ease I wonder if the moon Fox Pearl can convert this demonic energy into dragon energy he felt a wave of anxiety should the conversion fail this thousand years of demonic energy would be rendered useless however if it succeeded it would be extraordinary with such a vast reservoir of dragon energy he was confident he could breach the celestial realm system please assist me in utilizing the moon Fox Pearl to convert a thousand years of demonic energy into dragon energy Wong tion said filled with anticipation Ding A Thousand Years of demonic energy has been converted into 900 years of dragon energy the systems voice sent a thrilling shiver through Wong tion's body this is wonderful the Demonic energy can indeed be transformed into dragon energy with this I can strive to reach the celestial realm won suppressed his excitement and looked down at the Moon Fox Pearl the surface was no longer a glow with pink instead it radiated a brilliant Golden Light dazzling to behold n00 years of dragon energy a tremendous Force I wonder what Heights this will Elevate me to after inhaling deeply wongon began to absorb the dragon energy from the Moon Fox Pearl as the golden dragon energy spilled forth from the Pearl Wong tion absorbed it entirely into his being after consuming this vast amount of dragon energy his body began to evolve once more though he had reached a bottleneck resulting in limited progress aside from a slight increase in strength the dragon soul in his Danton also commenced a rapid growth spurt however when it reached a height of 160 m the rate of growth began to decelerate becoming progressively slower Wong tion understood that he was nearing the bottleneck of the Earthly Celestial realm if he could not break through his strength would remain stagnant in the Earthly Celestial realm for a considerable time whether he could send to the celestial realm depended on this moment Wong tion inhaled deeply if he could not break through with 900 years of dragon energy he might not have such favorable circumstances again with gritted teeth he continued to push against the bottleneck yet as time passed the dragon Energy's effect on his Evolution waned and the dragon soul seemed to stagnate in its growth frustrated Wong tion persisted in absorbing the dragon energy but even after more than 10 days there was still no sign of a breakthrough he found himself completely stuck and realized he needed a new strategy wongon was drenched in sweat yet he could not conceive a method to overcome this hurdle this scarcity of celestial realm experts stemmed from the fact that in addition to having exceptional Talent one also required a measure of luck and opportunity to ascend days passed without a breakthrough and Wong tion contemplated temporarily conceding defeat just then a deep and ancient voice resonated from the depths of the royal melum only through the unity of man and dragon can attain immortality what is this Wong tion's Spirit surged with shock The Voice seemed to originate from the innermost recesses of the melum and such Enlightenment could only come from the first emperor himself could it be that the first Emperor's dragon soul is assisting me wongon was astonished the power of the first Emperor's dragon soul was so formidable that it could even perceive his cultivation attempts calming himself Wong tion began to experiment based on this Guidance the unity of man and dragon could it mean merging himself with the dragon soul suddenly Enlightenment dawned upon him only through this Unity could he Ascend to a higher plane with this thought wongon immersed his Consciousness into his dragon soul for the first time as his awareness sank into the dragon soul he instantly experienced a transformation of his senses he became as a dragon soaring through a sea of golden dragon energy perceiving everything within a radius of hundreds of kilom what a marvelous sensation I am now a dragon let me try absorbing dragon energy one once more Wong tion resumed drawing in dragon energy through the moon Fox Pearl and this time he sent signs of a breakthrough in his dragon soul a radiant Golden Light enveloped him as he emanated an overwhelming Aura with a thunderous Roar the sound of a dragon's cry erupted from his Danon followed by the emergence of a colossal Golden Dragon that shattered the wooden cabin and soared into the heavens chapter 153 the celestial realm the golden dragon soul ascended towards the skies and for the first time Wong tion beheld the World from the perspective of his dragon soul his entire Dragon form was suffused with power the brilliant Golden Light tinting the clouds a resplendent gold I asked this the vision of a dragon the Royal melum appeared to shrink significantly and his sensory perception had multiplied several times over just as he was about to immerse himself further in this sensation a golden beam of light descended from the heavens precisely striking him under the influence of this Golden Light Wong tion's dragon soul began to visibly expand while his corporeal form within the melum radiated a dazzling Golden Glow both his physical and dragon soul Powers surged rapidly signifying that Wong tion had finally shattered the shackles of the Earthly Celestial realm and ascended to the celestial realm the remaining 500 years of dragon energy in the moon Fox Pearl accelerated Wong tion's advancement how Blissful I have finally broken through to the celestial realm and I need not waste the remaining dragon energy wongon reveled in the clouds his Spirit soaring high while his sensory perception continued to heighten the battle outside the capital unfolded before his eyes yet he paid no heed to the conflicts among his Royal Brothers In This Moment his Focus was solely on solidifying his Newfound power only by strengthening himself could he stand unafraid of anyone or any Force after several days Wong tion had completely absorbed the celestial blessings and the remaining dragon energy causing his dragon soul to grow to a staggering 200 M transforming him into an imposing entity gliding through the clouds he resembled an invincible dragon geod in the mid Celestial realm this level of power placed him among the elite of the entire tonen continent Wong tion felt a deep sense of satisfaction with his strength yet he did not allow himself to grow complacent the hidden powerhouses of the tion Shen continent were far too many and only by truly reaching the Pinnacle of strength could one be deemed Invincible withdrawing his Consciousness wongon in the form of his dragon soul Dove towards his corporeal body within the melum his momentum akin to a colossal wave upon contact the dragon soul silently merged into his body and his awareness instantly returned to his physical form as he opened his eyes Golden Light flickered around him captivating all who beheld it finally I am back Wong tion exhaled a breath of golden turbid energy rising from the ground with a crackling sound the result of his bones and muscles fully opening in the mid Celestial realm if I encounter the Empress of the Great Moon Nation again I shall no longer fear her Wong tion clenched his fist a glimmer of determination flashing in his eyes however he did not rush to confront the empress instead he soared towards the melum of Emperor taone for there were many Treasures yet to be claimed and he would not Overlook any opportunity to enhance his strength meanwhile the battle outside the capital had reached its final stages upon the alliance of the grand Prince and the eighth Prince their offensive became exceedingly Fierce just as it seemed that the capital was on the verge of being breached Su Janan commanded the 400,000 Dragon might Army to encircle from the rear resulting in heavy casualties among the grand Prince's border troops leaving him ens snared in a dire predicament your highness we are surrounded allow us to safeguard your escape the strategist when how cried anxiously but what of our Escape my brothers have perished here leaving would serve no purpose the grand Prince Wong Yin replied his face etched with despair he had initially believed that with the assistance of his eighth brother he could conquer the capital yet he had underestimated the formidable Dragon protection array safeguarding it this array personally arranged by the first emperor had effectively thwarted their combined efforts yet survival brings hope your highness once we break free we must seek the northern Leong King he will undoubtedly rally to your cause when how urged passionately with his support even if you cannot Ascend to the throne establishing Dominion in the north is a commendable alternative Dominion in the North a flicker of Hope reignited in Wong Yen's eyes indeed claiming the north was a viable strategy once his strength was sufficiently amassed he could return to the capital yes I shall dispatch the Assassins to protect your Escape your highness you must prepare immediately when how decisively summoned 100 Elite assassins Wong Yin without hesitation fought fiercely to break through the encirclement shielded by the elite assassins who disregarded their own lives with the grand Prince's own prowess and various Treasures they swiftly carved a breach your highness we have successfully broken through when how exclaimed joyfully surveying the open ground before them as long as they could escape and return to Northern Leong hope for a new beginning remained indeed we are finally free once we return to Northern leang and gather enough strength I shall avenge today's grievances Wong Yin covered in blood clenched his fists his eyes ablazed with Fury and hatred but in that moment a crimson beam of light descended from the Heavens aimed directly at the Grand Prince's forehead exhausted he sensed the imminent danger too late as he summoned his dragon energy to defend himself the red light pierced through his brow first how could this happen Wong Yan's face contorted with disbelief as he collapsed lifeless beside him strategist when how was struck with horror your highness your highness he cradled Wong Yan's body Panic overwhelming him with the grand Prince's death their fate was sealed the demise of Wong Yen rendered the ENT ire border Army leaderless facing either death or Surrender not far away on a hill Sujin Sheen observed the scene with an air of calm for the Crimson beam had originated from her how could she allow the grand Prince Wong yin to escape alive and return to northernly Yong Master Wong yen is dead lining said her voice tinged with excitement it was this Grand prince who had utilizing Geographic advantages obstructed them for decades now with this threat eliminated there Kingdom s Army could March Southward without concern yes with Wong Yan's death the Border Army is now rudderless our greatest threat has been thoroughly extinguished Sujin Sheen remarked A Satisfied smile gracing her lips with Wong Yin gone and the Border forces nearly annihilated the dragon might Army was reduced to fewer than 100 00 no longer posing a threat to their du Kingdom what of the ton long sect When shall we strike lying inquired patience let them expend more of their dragon protection array though formidable its energy is finite once they have depleted their resources we shall make our move suin Shen replied her gaze instinctively drawn to the depths of the capital where golden clouds swirled ominously while she largely controlled the situation in the capital an inexplicable unease had recently taken root in her heart chapter 154 descending into madness at the taong emperor's melum upon Wong tion's arrival he discovered an additional nine-headed Dragon corpse fresh and uncorrupted indicating that the nine-headed AO had indeed been refined by the taong emperor in this world where power reigned Supreme those with strength dictated all the nine-headed AO had ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm having consumed numerous living beings as Wong tion passed the nine-headed Dragon corpse he casually touched it after all it was the body of an earth Immortal promising substantial rewards ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have gained a 100 Years of dragon energy too has surprised the reward was rather generous let me try again Wong tion thought satisfied with the Bounty and extended his hand once more to the nine-headed Dragon corpse upon contact the system chimed again ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have gained another hundred years of dragon energy with 200 years of dragon energy accumulated Wong tion nodded approvingly and reached out to touch the nine-headed Dragon corpse once more ding congratulations host for touching a heavenly great corpse you have gained 100 Years of dragon energy another 100 Years of dragon energy added to his total bringing it to 300 with this bounty coupled with the nine color Dragon Pearl Wong tion felt a surge of ambition to attempt a breakthrough to the late stage of Earth Immortal after three rewards he dared to try once more but this time no reward materialized having received three rewards from the earth Immortal Realm he pondered the strength of the female corpse in the black melum I have touched it six times could her strength Str be divine the more he contemplated the more terrifying the thought became why would such a stunning Beauty reside in the melum of the Duan Dynasty lost in thought he was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a dragon's Roar emanating from within the melum the taong emperor seemed to be breaking through as the entire melum radiated a blue dragon energy with a faint Dragon might spilling forth Yet To Wong tion this Dragon might was inconsequential with the taong emperor's breakthrough his current dragon soul strength should rival that of the human Immortal Realm Wong tion quickly deduced the taong emperor's strength from the dragon might he emitted upon death One S transformation into a dragon soul results in a decline in power and training in Soul form is significantly slower than in human form this was why the tyong emperor sought to absorb the living blood and dragon soul of the nine-headed AO for his cultivation once the dragon might dissipated a resounding voice echoed wongon I thank you for delivering the nine-headed AO otherwise I would not know when I could return to the human Immortal Realm ancestor I have fulfilled my promise when shall you honor yours Wong tion could hardly contain his eagerness to explore the taong emperor's corpse this was a being who had once been an earth Immortal Master capable of the celestial technique Dragon devouring heaven and had single-handedly annihilated a 100,000 rebellious troops truly fearsome you may enter now take whatever you desire the taong emperor replied his mood buoyant as a dragon soul he could no longer utilize the treasures in this place and preferred to bestow them upon Wong tion as a gesture of Goodwill thank you ancestor won exclaimed with delight promptly entering inside the Ethereal Island remained unchanged the massive blue dragon coiled at its Center albeit now significantly larger than before you have arrived all my treasures lie within my coffin help yourself the taong emperor said using his dragon soul power to lift the lid of his coffin this was the first ancestor to personally open the coffin for wongon I shall not be polite then Wong tion declared teleporting to the side of the coffin the lid was already a jar revealing a crystallin skeleton surrounded by a plethora of treasures but only a single sword caught Wong tion's eye this sword is impressive he seized the sword feeling a sharp Aura coursing through it accompanied by a dragonk roar emanating from within your eye is Keen this is the sword I wielded in life The Dragon King sword crafted from the bones of the Dragon King the though its might may not rival Divine swords it is capable of cleaving a mountain in two and enhances damage against dragon energy the taong emperor proudly explained naturally this was his most cherished sword in life and while he could no longer wield it he wished to find it a worthy owner Wong tion was undoubtedly the perfect candidate The Dragon King sword Splendid Wong tion declared storing it within his system space with such a Celestial weapon the power of His Myriad swords would increase further aside from the Dr King sword Wong tion had little interest in the other Treasures within the taong emperor's coffin although many were Earth and even Heavenly grade none captured his attention his gaze soon fell upon the crystallin skeleton curious about what he might glean from the taong emperor's remains after all he had once been an earth Immortal and logically he should be able to touch it three times Wong tion eagerly reached out to the skeletal remains ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have gained a 100 Years of dragon energy another 100 Years of dragon energy wongon now accumulated 400 years let us continue he thought as's hand touched the taong emperor remains once more the system chimed again ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have acquired the celestial technique Dragon devouring Heaven he had obtained a Celestial technique the taong emperor s renowned skill Wong tion was elated with this technique he now possessed three Celestial techniques he had personally tested the power of the previous two and this Dragon devouring Heaven would undoubtedly resonate with his dragon energy amplifying its might there should be one more chance to touch Wong tion thought brimming with anticipation as he reached toward the taong emperor's remains again upon contact the systems Voice resounded once more ding congratulations host for touching a Heavenly great corpse you have gained a 100 Years of dragon soul power a 100 Years of dragon soul power quite satisfactory deed Wong tion attempted yet again for the fourth time to reach out yet this time the systems voice remained silent it appeared that the bones of the earth Immortal Realm could indeed only be touched Thrice cumulatively he had amassed 400 years of dragon shei and 100 Years of dragon soul absorbing this should enable him to break through to the later stages of the earth Immortal Realm with this thought in mind wongon promptly settled into a meditative posture the small island belonging to Emperor taone harbored a miniature spiritual vein making cultivation here significantly more beneficial than in the outside world especially considering he had already destroyed his meager dwelling in the Royal tomb ancestor I wish to utilize this precious land for my cultivation I trust you won't mind Wong tion turned to face Emperor taone I possess a spiritual vein here perfectly suited for your training Emperor taong readily acquiesced with the emperor's approval Wong tion began his cultivation meanwhile The eth Prince wangqing and the experts of tyan Longman were relentlessly assaulting the dragon Guardian array after consecutive days of fervent attacks the array exhibited faint signs of fracturing yet it remained unbroken your highness the first prince is dead Elder five suddenly rushed over in haste what my elder brother is dead eth Prince wangqing was taken aback his elder brother was the strongest among them having even reached the Marshall Saint level perilously close to the realm of Immortals such formidable strength had perished indeed the Border forces are now leaderless the dead are dead and the fleeing have fled should we continue our assault Elder five inquired anxiously eth Prince wangqing offered no response instead directing his gaze towards the sect leader ly xiaoyong Master what course of action should we take now eth Prince wangqing found himself at a loss the dragon Guardian array was too powerful although it appeared to be on the verge of collapse the uncertainty lingered regarding how many more attacks would be required to breach it should the Border forces fail to restrain them Ty Longman would suffer severe casualties sect leader ly xiaoyang surveyed the fervent Battlefield and the dragon Guardian array showing signs of fracture after weighing the pros and cons he concluded that a retreat would be prudent without the first Prince's restraint tyan lman would face devastating losses to at this juncture retreating to tyan Longman would still allow them to maintain their status as the foremost sect of the tonan continent just then a crimson Thunderbolt descended from the heavens striking the already cracked Dragon Guardian array causing it to Teeter precariously as if it would shatter with just one more assault upon witnessing this sect leader ly xiaoyang abruptly shifted his perspective a surge of ambition swelling within him your highness with the first prince deceased if you launch an attack on the Imperial Palace the throne shall be yours Lyn xiaoyong suddenly felt compelled to take a risk although he was uncertain why this Crimson Thunderbolt had manifested at this moment he could no longer afford to ponder such matters for the dragon Guardian array was on the brink of collapse if they shattered the array he was confident that with the strength of tyan Longman they could eliminate suenan and the fourth Prince eighth Prince wangqing upon hearing of the possibility of claiming the throne felt his own Ambitions rapidly swell and he too recognized the imminent shattering of the Dragon Guardian array despite the anticipated heavy losses for tyan Longman the prospect of ascending to the throne made such sacrifices seem acceptable let us seize this opportunity a bicycle May yet transform into a motorcycle very well we shall continue our assault 8th Prince wangqing became utterly frenzied chapter 155 the imminent fall of the deian Dynasty on a small Mountain not far from the capital Empress sujan Sheen stood at top the peak coldly observing the battle raging above the capital why Lord the people of tyan Longman are once again pressing their attack on the dragon Guardian array it seems your Thunderbolt has bestowed upon them the confidence to breach the array lenning remarked a glimmer of excitement flashing across her icy countenance had they allowed tyan Longman to depart in scathed their plans would have only succeeded halfway thus suin shein harnessed her formidable power to conjure a thunderbolt that struck the dragon Guardian array causing it to tremble on the verge of collapse rekindling the hope of breach among the Disciples of tyan Longman how could I simply allow them to leave Sujin Sheen's lips curled into a slight smile since their arrival in the capital their Fates have been firmly grasped in her hands my Lord truly remarkable ly in gazed at Sujin Sheen with admiration before hesitating to inquire further my Lord Do You Believe Ty and Longman can breach the dragon Guardian array if they were to launch an allout assault they might indeed breach it but Sujin Sheen did not finish her thought instead watching the distant scene with Keen interest but what ly in could not suppress her curiosity according to my teacher the dragon Guardian array was created by the first emperor himself capable of repelling assaults from Experts of the earth Immortal Realm however the arrays energy is finite so prolonged consumption could lead to its collapse Sujin Sheen continued shifting her narrative however when the dragon Guardian array is breached it will instantaneously release energy waves comparable to those of the earth Immortal Realm capable of annihilating invading foes in an instant instantly releasing energy waves of the earth Immortal Realm does this mean that even if tyan Longman breaches the dragon Guardian array they will be met with a backlash of this energy perhaps even face complete anation Lin Ying's eyes sparkled with realization secretly admiring the meticulous foresight of the first Emperor even if the dragon Guardian array fell it would still deliver a fierce Counterstrike Against The Intruders this is what my teacher conveyed to me I cannot confirm the exact nature of the energy backlash for in the past 10,000 years no one has ever managed to breach the dragon Guardian array suene Sheen herself harbored some uncertainty yet she continued to trust her teachers insights I in fact she felt a burgeoning anticipation that Ty and Longman might indeed shatter the dragon Guardian array sparing their Nation from risk above the capital sect leader ly xiaoyang accompanied by the other leaders concentrated their forces for a vigorous assault on the dragon Guardian array under their unrelenting Onslaught the signs of fracture within the array grew increasingly apparent and the entire formation swayed as if on the verge of collapse in the Imperial Palace the fourth Prince Wong Hong witnessing the widening cracks in the array felt a surge of anxiety steady yourselves if the dragon Guardian array Falls none of you shall survive Wong Hong shouted urgently the dragon Guardian array served as the last Bastion of defense for the capital should it crumble the forces within the capital would be utterly incapable of withstanding the advance of tyan Longman the foremost sect of the tonin continent whose leader ly xiaoyong was a master of the earth Immortal Realm with several others at the human Immortal level an unparalleled force in the world deploy every last array Stone spare no effort to maintain the Integrity of the Dragon Guardian array suenan 2 felt the urgency mounting faced with the Relentless onslaught of tyan Longman he found himself gripped by anxiety for the first time additionally instruct the Longway Army and the Disciples of L hushen to intensify their assault on tyan Longman from the periphery preventing them from attacking the dragon Guardian array yes my Lord the subordinates hastened to carry out their orders with the influx of numerous array Stones the strength of the Dragon Guardian array was somewhat bolstered yet the fractures remained unrepaired repairing the array required the dragon she of the earth Immortal Realm not merely the array Stones die in the sky ly xiaoyong summoned his unparalleled sword relentlessly striking at the cracks in the dragon Guardian array while other Elders joined in the assault meanwhile the Longway Army and the Disciples of long hushen intensified their encirclement of tyan longman's outer disciples in a Flash both sides engaged in a fierce battle transforming the area outside the capital into a river of blood with bodies piling High all forces concentrated their efforts on the fractured section of the array the outcome hinged on this singular moment observing the heavy losses among his disciples ly xang felt immense grief and resolved to make a final stand let us strike simultaneously eth Prince wangqing understood that further delay was untenable with a decisive command all the elite Experts of tyan Longman gathered their strength and Unleashed a coordinated assault on the fractured section of the Dragon Guardian array I in an instant over 20 powerful energies converged upon the breach they might comparable to the full force onslaught of an earth Immortal with a tremendous Roar the fractured section of the Dragon Guardian array erupted revealing a gaping Chasm at he last the dragon Guardian array has been breached ly xiaoyong and the other leaders rejoiced however their Elation was shortlived as the shattered array Unleashed a violent surge of energy this energy wave rivaled the strength of the earth Immortal Realm catching ly xiaoyong wangqing and others offu guard and they were struck directly by its Force the eighth Prince merely at the second tier was obliterated on the spot leaving no Trace behind the other leaders of Ty longan suffered grave injuries even ly xiaoyong an earth Immortal met his demise at the hands of this energy akin to a nuclear blast yet the devastation did not cease there as the energy surged outward it annihilated the tyan Longman disciples the Longway Army and the Disciples of long hushen engaged in the chaotic battle leaving countless dead in its wake the energy wave ravaged the structures surrounding the capital but fortunately the area was largely open sparing many residential buildings from destruction otherwise the death toll would have been far more catastrophic once the energy wave subsided the vicinity beyond the capital was rendered a Barren Wasteland devoid of life no creatures remained not even Stones stood inscathed reduced to Mere dust witnessing this cataclysm ly in was left speechless why Lord the dragon Guardian array indeed possesses energy backlash with a strength comparable to the full force strike of an earth amort this marked Lin Ying's first encounter with such a formidable energy wave thankfully they were positioned far away or they too would have fallen victim to its Fury this is precisely the outcome I desired the annihilation of the Border forces the remnants of the Long Way Army and the complete destruction of Ty Longman and long hushen at the hands of the Dragon Guardian AR raay backlash now the deian dynasty lacks the strength to oppose us and most crucially the dragon Guardian array protecting the capital has been breached suene Sheen Finally Revealed a glimmer of a smile sensing that the downfall of the deian dynasty was drawing near my lord does this mean we can now take action lening inquired eagerly indeed relay the orders the million strong Army Of Da shall March Southward while simultaneously notifying the other Seven Nations to launch a coordinated assault from the east west and south fugene Sheen waved her hand and a glimmer of Cold Light flashed in her beautiful eyes the fall of the Doan Dynasty is imminent chapter 156 the million strong Army marches South within the Royal Palace the fourth Prince Wong Hong had already descended into despair upon witnessing the breaking of the Dragon Guardian array little did he expect that at the very moment the array was shattered it Unleashed power comparable to that of celestial beings annihilating all the experts from the tong sect in an instant this left him not only in shock but also filled with exhilaration prime minister Sue have all the members of the tanong sect perished Wong Hong asked incredulity lacing his voice as he turned turned to suenan a Tremor of excitement evident in his tone it appears so they were killed by the backlash of the Dragon Guardian aray energy Su Janan replied equally agitated just when it seemed they were on the verge of defeat the dragon Guardian array had once again save them at a critical moment truly the first emperor is formidable someone go out and assess the situation Wong Hong commanded loudly he was hesitant to venture out himself if any remnants of the ton long sect were still alive his life would be in jeopardy with a clear command the Royal Guards began to venture outside the city to investigate after a stick of incenses time the leader of the royal guards rushed back visibly excited your highness outside the capital not a blade of grass grows all the Disciples of the ton long sect are dead all tens of thousands of ton long sect disciples have perished are you certain Wong Hong queried eagerly indeed even their sect leader has died his corpse lies just outside the city the subord reported earnestly even the sect leader has fallen haha Wong Hong erupted into joyous laughter upon confirming the news all apprehension and unease within him dissipating in an instant excellent Splendid my elder brother is dead and so is the eighth Prince now no one dares to V for the throne with me Wong Hong was elated with this his claim to the throne felt secure seeing this Su Janan too breathed a sigh of relief though the dragon Guardian array had been lost Wong Hong's position on the throne was now assured your highness your two greatest threats have been eliminated I suggest you ascend the throne tomorrow the state cannot be without a ruler even for a day Su Janan promptly advised very well let preparations commence for my Ascension Wong Hong declared brimming with excitement a this moment the long awaited day had finally arrived meanwhile Wong tion was seated in meditation on the spirit island of the great ancestor Emperor after absorbing the dragon energy for 400 years his strength was rapidly growing too hastened his progress Wong tion also absorbed the nine color Dragon Pearl as the dragon energy continued to be absorbed the golden dragon soul within his Danton was also expanding swiftly a day passed quickly early the next morning Wong Hong adorned himself in the golden dragon robe reserved solely for Emperors and dawned the Imperial Crown standing before a bronze mirror he admired his reflection his face alight with pride your majesty congratulations on achieving your heart's desire suchin remarked her beautiful eyes sparkling as she lovingly adjusted Wong hongk attire before sweetly inquiring your majesty When shall we wed suin was impatient to become Empress don't not fret once I Ascend the throne I shall Marry You forth with Wong Hong replied wrapping his arms around suchin slender waist and planting a kiss on her cherry red lips he understood that he must still rely on Prim Minister sujan on thus he needed to Curry favor with her Wong Hong harbored great Ambitions his foundation was still shaky and he could only lean on suenan for now once his strength matured he would not allow Su Jan's power to overshadow his ow uchin felt her heart swell with anticipation at his words your majesty the coronation ceremony is fully prepared please proceed to the Golden Dragon Hall a unich bowed and announced very well let us proceed Wong Hong waved his hand boarding the Royal Carriage towards the Golden Dragon halt at this moment a large assembly of civil and military officials awaited in the golden Dragon Hall upon Wong hongk arrival they all bowed in unison let the coronation ceremony commence Wong Hong exclaimed eagerly as he disembarked from the carriage and hastened toward the Golden Dragon Throne as the ceremony began a unic with a voice like a Ducks quacked out the Edict of the former Emperor many officials present were aware that it was unlikely the late Emperor would pass the throne to Wong Hong but with the first prince and the eighth Prince both deceased they had no choice but to acquest to this fabricated decree after a ser Ser of cumbersome rituals Wong Hong finally approached the dragon Throne before taking his seat he caressed the throne his heart swelling with emotion he had sacrificed so much for this Imperial position I have finally become emperor Wong Hong declared his face radiating excitement as he sat down from this moment forward he was the emperor of the daian dynasty long live the emperor long live long long live the officials all knelt before him even Su Janan bowed his head in reverence as Wong Hong beheld so many subjects kneeling before him a tidal wave of emotion surged within him he had envisioned this scene for so long and today that dream had finally come to fruition it ease Wong Hong waved his hand relishing the power that came with being Emperor however no sooner had he spoken than a messenger rushed in panic etched across his bloodied face your majesty grave news urgent matters the messenger shouted his voice filled with urgency as he stumbled into the Hall such disarray is Unbecoming today is your Majesty's Coronation Day what Madness are you spouting a civil official stepped forward eager to ingratiate himself with the newly enthroned Wong Hong Wong Hong furrowed his brow with the greatest threats his elder brother and the eth prince both dead what could possibly warrant such urgency what urgent matter could have you so distraught he inquired his tone patient reporting to your majesty the da kingdoms forces have crossed the Shan hauan and shangra pass marching South with a million troops before the messenger could finish Wong hongk expression shifted dramatically the dawa kingdom is marching South with a million troops Wong Hong felt a wave of anxiety wash over him he had only just ascended to the throne and now the daa kingdom was stirring trouble your majesty do not worry we can have bang resist the DU Kingdom suenan quickly interjected the Longway Army has been decimated the only Force left to withstand the da kingdom is baong yes let baong can confront the daa kingdom they have benefited from the daian dynasty for Generations it is time they repay that favor Wong Hong reasoned calming down with baong position to the north they should be able to withstand the da kingdoms advances your majesty baong surrendered last night the messengers word sent shock waves through the assembly the king of bong only recognized the first prince had the first prince ascended he would have surely resisted the da Kingdom to the death however with the first prince dead in the capital how could the king of bong still pledge his loyalty to the daian dynasty what baong has surrendered Wong Hong felt a dizzying Wave Wash over him without baong the daa kingdom could March straight South too make matters worse the 60,000 Longway troops had also been annihilated what could he possibly use to resist the D Kingdom's million strong Army even sugan's expression darkened considerably yet this was not the worst of it the messenger paused for a moment before continuing your majesty in addition to the DEA Kingdom the chi Kingdom Nan Kingdom pong Island Xiao Kingdom be hango and Wu Kingdom have also mobilized their armies against Arian Dynasty their combined forces also number in the millions. this Revelation the hall erupted into chaos once more chapter 157 the Tomb of the first emperor upon hearing this news everyone present was left dumbfounded especially Wong Hong he had just ascended the throne and before he could even settle in Seven Nations were already attacking what on Earth should he do now now with six nations and an island all converging at once how could they possibly withstand the assault without the Longway Army and the Border forces Wong Hong felt a surge of panic instinctively turning his gaze towards Su Janan prime minister Sue what do you believe we should do in this dire situation Wong Hong feeling utterly reliant on Su Janan sought his counsel sanan felt equally anxious the approach of Seven Nations was no trivial matter failure could spell Doom for them all with the baong Army having surrendered and the long way and Border forces gone the only option left was to delegate authority to the various sects of the martial World urging them to unite in resistance after some contemplation suenan finally devised a plan we must delegate authority to the Marshall sex and let them defend themselves Wong Hong pondered whether this strategy was feasible indeed Arin Dynasty's border forces and Longway Army have been decimated what remains are merely City Defense Forces Royal Guards and Longway troops this strength is insufficient to withstand the Coalition of the Seven Nations therefore we must empower the Marshall sex to act independently this will significantly weaken the strength of the Coalition suenan explained delegating power to the Marshall sect was indeed a risky move if mishandled the sect might become independent and carve up the authority of the daian dynasty very well I consent I shall issue the decree immediately Wong Hong affirmed he was no fool he understood the potential consequences but at this moment there was no other recourse they had to first saave off the coalition's advance meanwhile Wong t on continued his cultivation within the melum of the great ancestor Emperor oblivious to the turmoil outside the Imperial Tomb as he absorbed the dragon energy his strength grew rapidly and the golden dragon soul within his Danon expanded as well. three full days passed before Wong tion finally absorbed all the dragon energy from the 400 years and the nine-color dragon pearl his strength successfully broke through to the late stage of the celestial realm and his dragon soul had grown to a remarkable 250 M with a deep exhale Wong tion opened his eyes expelling a breath of golden turbid energy feeling utterly refreshed wonderful you possess the strongest talent I have ever witnessed even the first emperor pales in comparison the dragon soul of the great ancestor Emperor remarked unable to contain his admiration he had encountered countless Geniuses but compared to Wong tion they were merely insignificant recalling the first emperor Wong tion suddenly remembered that during his breakthrough to the celestial realm the first Emperor had seemingly helped him through distant communication it appeared that it was time to pay a visit to the Tomb of the first emperor esteemed ancestor I am immensely grateful for your generous offer of this sacred ground for my cultivation I shall take my leave now Wong tion clasped his fists in a respectful gesture towards the dragon soul of Emperor taone before turning to depart his current prowess had reached the late stage of the celestial Immortal Realm and to ascend further he would need to seek out the first emperor the melum of Emperor chin Sher Wang located deep within the Imperial tombs was the only golden melum among them grander in scale than that of Emperor taong by more than tfold the entire Imperial Tomb was imbued with a formidable pressure that intensified as one approached rendering it nearly inaccessible to ordinary individuals however with Wong tion's current strength this pressure posed no challenge to him before long he arrived at the entrance of the first Emperor's melum I asked this truly the melum of the first emperor it was his first time observing it from such proximity Wong tion gazed Upward at the melum which loomed majestically like a colossal prehistoric Dragon coiled upon the Earth esteemed ancestor I Wong tion have come to pay my respects after bowing before the melum he stepped forward the entrance was exceedingly large standing 5 m high and 3 m wide crafted from mysterious Heavenly Stone adorned with intricately carved dragons that exuded an awe inspiring might s Wong tion's hand made contact with the stone door the two dragons seemed to come to life transforming into ethereal dragon souls that lunged toward him though you dare to obstruct my path wongon extended his arms grasping each dragon soul and with a radiant burst of Golden Light emanating from him he forcefully crushed them into dust upon the dissipating of the stone carved dragon souls the stone door creaked open without hesitation wongon stroe inside once within he was astounded by the sight before him there was no tomb garden and instead a magnificent and imposing ancient Royal Palace unveiled itself thas this the ancient tombs version of a palace wongon surveyed his surroundings noting rows of life-sized terracotta warriors standing guard throughout the palace behind them lay numerous accompanying burial tombs for concubines generals Scholars Unix and various servants amounting to thousands upon cursory inspection Beyond these burial sites stood nine colossal Stone Dragon pillars that supported the ancient Royal Palace at the heart of these pillars rested a golden dragon coffin presumably belonging to the first emperor beneath the coffin a Divine dragon formation was arranged with a dense Aura of dragon energy continuously surging forth furthermore the ancient Royal Palace was riddled with various mechanisms exuding an air of mystery and danger esteemed ancestor I wongon have come to pay my respects I humbly request your presence Wong tion refrained from advancing recklessly and instead paused to Bow enter I await you within echoed the Deep resonant voice of the first emperor from the innermost depths of the palace upon hearing that familiar voice Wong tion immediately confirmed that the one who had aided him in his breakthrough to the celestial Immortal Realm was indeed the first emperor very well ancestor I shall come forth immediately wongon sensed that the first emperor intended to test him the path from here to the deepest part of the ancient Royal Palace was sure to be fraught with traps however knowing it was his ancestor who summoned him Wong tion dared not hesitate and he was also eager to glean insights from the first Emperor's remains after acknowledging the summons wongon soared into the air toward the innermost depths of the ancient Royal Palace throughout his journey he remained Vigilant anticipating hidden mechanisms yet all remained tranquil and secure with even the Terracotta Warriors remaining immobile this left Wong tion perplexed could it be that the ancestor did not intend to test my medal as he pondered he arrived at the nine Dragon pillars of the ancient Royal pal these nine pillars upheld the entire structure and at their Center lay the coffin of the first emperor emanating a rich dragon energy upon reaching this point Wong tion felt no desire to proceed further for everything he s was contained within this space esteemed ancestor where are you Wong tion instinctively called out Advance a little further and you shall see me the voice of the first emperor resonated once more this time Wong tion discerned that the voice emanated from the darkness behind the nine Dragon pillars following the sound he moved towards the shadowy area utilizing his Dragon senses to probe the region however it seemed enveloped in a mysterious energy that thwarted his perception before long Wong tion stepped into the darkened area whereupon his form faltered as if ens snared by some unseen Force causing the flow of dragon energy within him to slow considerably yet what shocked him most was the sight of a golden dragon soul Bound by nine thick gray chains these chains emerging from the ground were immensely thick even broader than a human waist inscribed with countless cryptic runes that were difficult to comprehend even Wong tion well-versed in formations could not decipher the inscriptions the nine chains resembled Claws from the depths of Hell firmly and snaring the golden dragon soul in place the dragon soul seemingly aware of the chains formidable nature lay motionless on the ground any slight movement would provoke the chains to unleash blinding bolts of energy that caused the golden Dron soul to quiver in pain you you are the first emperor Wong tion could scarcely believe his eyes the first emperor was a figure of divine stature within the daian dynasty it was inconceivable that such an important personage could be imprisoned here indeed I am Wong Jang that I fear I have disappointed you Junior the first Emperor's voice though still resonant was tinged with weariness and resignation esteemed ancestor why are these nine chains binding you Wong tion inquired his curiosity peaked with such formidable strength even in death as a dragon soul he should possess at least the power of the early Earth Immortal Realm it was unimaginable that he could be reduced to such a state of captivity to be precise these nine chains do not bind me but rather the daian Dynasty when I founded the daian dynasty I was blessed with national Fortune which allowed me to ascend to the celestial Immortal Realm they have been siphoning our national Fortune through these nine chains the first emperor continued after a brief pause M demise is also intertwined with the nine Hells Clan Point N Hells what manner of race is that I have never heard of it wongon pondered indeed he had no knowledge of any such Clan the nine Hells Clan does not reside within the tonan continent they are from the upper Realms of the tonan the first emperor elucidated the upper Realms do you mean the Divine realm Wong tion instinctively retorted I in his understanding above the celestial Immortal Realm lay the Divine beings who ascended to the Divine realm which was naturally perceived as the upper Realm of the tonen continent the upper Realms Encompass more than just the Divine realm they also include the demon realm the nine Hells realm the spirit realm and others the nine Hells Clan is AAS from the nine Hells realm collectively referred to as the upper Realms the first emperor elaborated what we currently inhabit the tonan continent is but a corner of myriad inferior worlds ah I see Wong tion nodded in understanding there existed countless inferior worlds akin to the tonen continent throughout the Universe and only upon attaining the Divine being realm could one Ascend to the upper Realms as for the specifics of Ascension that would depend on the cultivation techniques and lineage one belonged to esteemed ancestor is there anything I can do to assist you Wong tion instinctively inquired sensing that the first emperor had summoned him for a purpose I wish for you to sever these nine chains the first emperor revealed the true intent behind wongon summoning he had been trapped here for over 10,000 years with his dragon energy and Fortune continuously siphoned by the nin Hells Clan if this continued Not only would he perish but the national Fortune of the daian dynasty would also be extinguished very well I shall give it a try wongon retrieved the Excalibur from the system space given that the first emperor had aided him in his breakthrough to the celestial Immortal Realm it was only fitting that he offered something in return Wong tion gripped the Excalibur tightly channeling his dragon energy into it causing the blade to emit a violent humming sound shatter he Unleashed his full strength striking one of the chains with all his might upon impact the chain emitted a dazzling flash of lightning that sent wongon and his sword flying several meters back the Unleashed lightning also inflicted immense pain upon the first emperor ASC returned Wong tion's gaze fell upon the chain which remained entirely inscathed even lacking a scratch what material is this chain made of it cannot be cleaved even by the Excalibur Wong tion was astonished he was currently a Celestial Immortal and the Excalibur was top tier Celestial sword under normal circumstances any other chain would have been severed by his strike yet this chain had not even a mark upon it to it is the Shinu iron a material exclusive to the nine Hells realm the first emperor explained through gritted teeth enduring the pain so it is a substance from the upper Realms I must employ my strongest techniques Wong tion took a deep breath then summoned over 20 swords from the system space among which were six light swords the first Emperor's dragon soul shimmered with with hope upon witnessing such a multitude of celestial swords he yearned to escape this confinement yet the weight of the nine chains rendered him miserable esteemed ancestor please bear with me I shall not be long Wong tion once more channeled his dragon energy and in an instant he radiated Golden Light while the 20 swords ascended forming a formidable sword formation returned to the source of 10,000 swords Wong tion concentrated his sword intent to its utmost Pinnacle and launched it towards one of the chains the sword formation resembling a Colossal dragon of devouring might surged towards one of the chains colliding with it in an instant Boom the tremendous sword energy struck the chain causing it to clang resoundingly and the runes inscribed upon it suddenly glowed as if resisting Wong tion's formation of 10,000 swords upon witnessing the situation Wong tion exerted additional Force amplifying the might of the Myriad swords returning to their origin I in response to Wong tion's formidable technique nine chains erupted with dazzling bolts of lightning the first emperor struck by the nine hellish lightning bolts found himself an excruciating Agony yet he gritted his teeth and remained silent harboring the hope that Wong tion could sever These Chains thereby liberating him from his torment regrettably after a fierce Onslaught there were no signs that the chains had been severed Wong tion panting heavily ceased his efforts realizing that the chain showed no indication of breaking while the first emperor was nearly brought to the brink of death by the nine hellish lightning strikes this was feudal the chains could not be shattered Wong tion quickly halted beads of sweat dotting his forehead the dragon soul of the first emperor lay on the ground also gasping for breath for that moment had been more painful than facing death itself ancestor these chains are too resilient I have exerted all my strength yet they remain unbroken wongon expressed with a hint of reluctance don't not fret you have done your utmost it is I who underestimated the situation how could the materials of the upper realm be severed by the energies of the lower realm the first emperor sighed weakly from his position on the ground if only my teacher could return to life teacher ancestor who is your teacher perhaps I can assist you in finding them wongon instinctively replied she resides in the deepest part of the royal tomb within that black melum before the first emperor could finish his sentence Wong tion interrupted him in shock what that stunning female corpse is the ancestors teacher chapter 159 the identity of the stunning female corpse Wong tion was utterly astonished he could never have imagined that the breathtaking woman in the black melum was in fact the first Emperor's teacher you must have met my teacher right the first Emperor's gaze suddenly shifted towards wongon imbued with profound significance despite being imprisoned in this Eerie Imperial Tomb he seemed to possess an acute awareness of the happenings within even knowing the details of Wong tion's visits to the black melum each month yes I have seen her die in recent months I have entered the black melum during the full moon to meet her Wong tion had no intention of concealing this from the first emperor although the ancestor was currently in the form of a dragon soul his strength had reached the realm of terrestrial Immortals and his senses remained remarkably sharped I asked my teacher well the first Emperor's eyes filled with reverence as he asked this question she lies upon a bed of ice uncorrupted and undying yet devoid of breath Wong tion repli repli truthfully his tone tinged with a hint of melancholy simultaneously Wong tion found himself enlightened realizing why that Exquisite woman occupied a deeper location within the Royal tomb than the first emperor it turned out that the stunning female corpse was the first Emperor's teacher and from the reverence reflected in the first Emperor's dragon-like eyes it was evident that his admiration for her was boundless if my teacher were still alive I would not be Shackled here by the nine Hells the first emperor lamented his voice Laden with profound regret as if reminiscing about past sufferings ancestor if your teacher is so formidable why did she perish who was responsible for her death wongon filled with curiosity blurted out a series of questions having touched the Exquisite corpse six or seven times it was clear that she must have possessed extraordinary power in life perhaps even surpassing the realm of celestial Immortals how could such a powerful figure not Ascend to the upper realm moreover how could she have fallen these questions entwined in Wong tion's mind like a tangled web who could possibly kill her in heaven and on Earth there is no one who could be her adversary the first Emperor's eyes shimmered with admiration yet he could not suppress his size if no one could rival her how could she die could it be that she took her own life wongon furrowed his brow in confusion in his understanding who would choose to end their own life so readily was it possible that being Invincible she chose to conclude her existence because she had no Rivals I to cannot comprehend my teacher decision with her strength even in the upper realm few could contend with her yet she remained on this tonan continent the first Emperor's gaze mirrored his own deep confusion and bewilderment during that breathtaking battle between humans and demons she resolutely chose to seal herself away instructing me to become the leader of the human race the first Emperor's words plunged wangon into a renewed state of astonishment the battle between humans and demons she cannot be of the demon race can she Wong tion suddenly thought of something the items he had retrieved from the female corpse were all related to demons and combined with the first Emperor's mention of the battle it was hard not to associate her with a demonic identity indeed she was the demon Empress yet her disciples were human furthermore she chose to seal herself away allowing me to claim dominion over this world the first Emperor's eyes again reflected a hint of confusion his tone Laden with complex emotions regarding that period of History so she was the demon empress no wonder Wong tion hesitated wishing to express his thoughts about the numerous demonic Treasures he had discovered on her but he swallowed the words before they could Escape his lips moreover the first emperor statement evoked memories of the ancient war between humans and demons as recounted by the ancestor jishua initially he believed the human Coalition had triumphed over the demons through sheer strength and had successfully slain the demon Empress however the truth revealed that the demon Empress had chosen to seal herself away and the strongest among Humanity was astonishingly her Disciple This was utterly unfathomable ancestor why did the teacher choose to seal herself away Wong tion seized the opportunity to voice his greatest curiosity fixing his gaze intently upon the first emperor she seemed to be waiting for someone or perhaps she was orchestrating a grand scheme the first emperor replied uncertainly his eyes filled with speculation and contemplation waiting for someone Wong tion's heart stirred as he suddenly thought of yunu The Girl Who Bore uncanny resemblance to the demon Empress could it be that Yun is the person the demon Empress has been waiting for indeed my teacher is an invincible being her actions must carry profound significance and I have a feeling that the one she awaits is you the first Emperor's gaze was piercing as if seeking to penetrate Wong tion's very Soul waiting for me how could that be Wong tion felt speechless the demon Empress from a millennium ago had no connection to him how could she possibly be awaiting him over the past millennium many had come to the Royal tomb including exceptionally gifted individuals with the six holy monarchs being Prime examples they had all approached the black melum yet none had been able to enter nor had the door ever open as the first emperor reminisced he speculated you have only recently arrived at the Royal tomb yet my teacher melum has opened its gates to you this statement jolted wongon into realization for every full moon a mysterious voice had been calling out to him from within the black melum but why was it always during the full moon Wong tion murmured to himself sinking into deep contemplation the full moon marks the time of greatest in energy on the tonan continent as demonic energy is associated with in it also reaches its peak during this time the first emperor seemed to have heard Wong tion's murmur and directly clarified now it makes sense wongon thought his lingering doubts slightly alleviated yet one final question remained in his heart why had he been chosen to enter the black melum however he refrained from voicing this question and instead shifted the topic ancestor do you possess any means to bring her back to life my teacher does not wish to be revived no one can awaken her perhaps one day when she desires to awaken she will suddenly return to life the first Emperor's eyes brimmed with hope longing to see his teacher once more not only for the Salvation she could provide but also out of profound respect for her Wong tion shook his head helplessly upon hearing this just as the two conversed a deafening Roar suddenly erupted in the sky outside the Royal tomb and a powerful surge of spiritual energy rippled through their surroundings what is happening why has the spiritual energy outside surged so drastically a sense of for boing washed over Wong tion as he furrowed his brow tightly someone is attacking our great Chin Dynasty the protective Dragon array I previously set up has been breached a glimmer of concern flickered in the first Emperor's eyes his expression growing grave though he was imprisoned his heart burned with urgent to assist yet he was powerless to act Wong tion closed his eyes extending his Celestial Dragon senses outward and this perception caused his expression to shift to one of utmost seriousness they have actually reached the capital ancestor the daa kingdom has invaded the capital I wish to borrow some Treasures from your coffin may I wongon in a state of desperation realized that the speed of the daa kingdoms Advance far exceeded his expectations if given a few more days the great Shen Dynasty could very well face Annihilation and no problem I am trapped here and keeping those Treasures is of no use you may use them as you see fit the first emperor responded readily as he too did not wish to witness the dynasty he had painstakingly established being destroyed thank you ancestor Wong tion sincerely expressed his gratitude before swiftly heading towards the direction of the nine Dragon pillar he was confident that once he reached the first Emperor's body he would become invincible and could emerge from seclusion chap chapter 160 rewards from the first Emperor's body the first Emperor's coffin lay quietly at the center of the nine Dragon pillar surrounded by an air of mystery and solemnity the nine dragon formation encircled the area its radiant glow flickering in the darkness as if proclaiming its might and Majesty to the world however for Wong tion who had now attained the realm of celestial Immortals the nine dragon formation posed little threat moreover Wong tion was highly proficient in the art of formations making the dismantling of such a formation a trivial task for him as Wong tion's foot made contact with the nine Dragon pillar the intricate formation beneath the coffin was instantaneously activated I in an a inspiring spectacle nine Colossal dragon Phantoms each adorned in distinct Hues erupted forth from the surrounding pillars accompanied by a thunderous Roar that reverberated through the air though these Dragon apparitions were not genuine dragon souls their formidable presence was undeniable each radiating a chilling Aura of immense power the nine Dragon Phantoms swiftly coalesced into a tight formation surging toward Wong tion with an overwhelming Force akin to a tempest leaving him breathless in its wake break faced with such ferocity Wong tion exhibited no trace of trepidation his gaze unwavering he swiftly channeled the dragon energy within unleashing a dual punch that soared forth like cannonballs I in an explosive display of Might he shattered two of the Dragon Phantoms into scintilating particles that dissolved Into The Ether with an air of invincibility he effortlessly dispatched the first two seizing the moment the remaining seven Dragon Phantoms lunged at him their massive Jaws Agape revealing razor sharp fangs poised to strike the glint of their teeth shimmered ominously as if they sought to devour him whole do you truly believe you can harm me Wong tion bellowed his voice echoing in the vast expans I in the next instant a tremendous surge of dragon energy erupted from within him manifesting as a powerful shock wave the immense Dragon might formed an invisible barrier that forcefully repelled the remaining seven Phantoms I in the Split Second they were staggered Wong tion darted forward with the swiftness of lightning his fists flew in Rapid succession each strike accompanied by a howling wind and boundless strength as his fists danced through the air two more Dragon Phantoms were obliterated reduced to Mere wisps of nothingness without a moment's pause he continued his Relentless assault shattering the last five Phantoms in the blink of an eye rendering them into Oblivion this entire sequence unfolded in mere moments Wong tion dispatched all nine Phantoms in less than 10 breaths his movements fluid and seamless ey in the shadows the first emperor observed an astonishment his mouth slightly Agape his eyes filled with disbelief he knew all too well that the nine Dragon pillar was a creation of his own design a labor of countless hours and Relentless effort intended to thwart any formidable tomb Raiders and Safeguard his coffin and treasures toim this form formation was the epitome of defensive enchantments capable of withstanding even the mightiest at the initial stage of the celestial realm yet it was effortlessly dismantled by Wong tion young man your talent is truly enviable surpassing even my own in my prime the first emperor could not help but exclaim his voice tinged with astonishment and admiration thank you for the compliment ancestor I trust you won't mind if I lift your coffin lit Wong tion inquired respectfully demonstrating difference to the first emperor feel free to do so came the emperor's hearty reply then I shall not hold back Wong tion declared his Gaze fixated on the Magnificent golden dragon head at top the coffin lid the dragon's Visage was so lifelike that it seemed poised to Spring to life at any moment its intricate Dragon motifs radiating an enigmatic glow serving as the Pinnacle of protective sigils the moment W tion placed his hands upon the coffin lid the golden dragon head suddenly opened its eyes unleashing two blinding beams of golden light toward him imbued with for itable power that was quite terrifying Wong tion deafly tilted his head effortlessly evading the two beams of light his movements Swift and composed next he clenched his fists tightly channeling the dragon energy with fervor which glimmered with resplendent Brilliance he then launched a powerful strike aimed directly at the dragon's eyes this punch carried a force akin to a raging tide as if it could shatter the very fabric of reality compressing the surrounding air into a shrill whistle sensing the imminent threat the golden dragon head transformed into a vivid Dragon lunging forth to meet Wong tion's fists headon a resounding crash reverberated through the space as the tremendous forces collided generating a powerful shock wave unsurprisingly the golden dragon head was obliterated beneath Wong tion's assault disintegrating into countless golden shards wongon merely felt a slight discomfort in his fists a triviality for him quite manageable he remarked a confident smile gracing his lips since his Ascension to the celestial Realm he had experienced a qualitative leap and strength every obstacle before him now seemed fragile as if he could shatter them with a mere flick of his fist the first emperor appeared to have anticipated such an outcome yet he could not suppress his admiration this youth is truly formidable his talent Rivals that of my mentor he mused his voice laced with profound awe and reflection Wong tion did not respond his attention was entirely captivated by the contents within the coffin eagerly he lifted the coffin lid and dense wave of dragon energy surged forth almost tangible in its richness what an overwhelming dragon energy Wong tion thought elated this was the first time he had encountered such potent energy emanating from a coffin his excitement surged as he peered inside there lay a golden skeleton exuding a powerful dragon energy that enveloped it like a mystical Mist enhancing its enigmatic and imposing Aura surrounding the golden skeleton were an array of treasures glistening gemstones radiating strange lights ancient artifacts emanating a sense of age and a plethora of precious medicinal herbs a dazzling display of riches Wong tion disregarded the treasures focusing entirely on the golden skeleton this golden skeleton must belong to a being of the celestial realm at least capable of three touches rubbing his hands together excitement flickered in his eyes as he reached out toward the golden skeleton his hands trembling in anticipation ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse gaining a millennium of dragon energy the systems voice resonated in Wong tion's mind filling him with Elation too have acquired a millennium of dragon energy on the first touch was an unexpected windfall once more without hesitation Wong tion reached out again to touch the first Emperor's golden skeleton as his hand made contact the system chimed in again ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse gaining a millennium of dragon energy another Millennium of dragon energy excellent Wong tion was thoroughly pleased with this reward as he aimed to reach the Pinnacle of the celestial realm and required substantial dragon energy to bolster his strength what could the third reward be Wong tion mused anticipation bubbling within him as he reached out once more to the first Emperor's golden skeleton ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse gaining a millennium of dragon soul power the reward this time was a millennium of dragon soul power which Wong tion found equally satisfying this will be sufficient for my dragon soul to grow to 300 M he felt as though today was a Bountiful Harvest yet he was not inclined to stop there extending his hand for a fourth attempt ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse gaining the celestial technique dragon breath descends upon hearing the mention of a Celestial technique Wong tion's heart raced another Celestial technique and a royal one at that this reward exceeded his wildest expectations point four times already true to the first emperor aside from that Exquisite female corpse he is the one from whom I've received the most touches I wonder if there is a fifth with eager anticipation Wong tion reached out for a fifth time to the first emperor skeleton chapter 161 suenan seeks to sell his master for Glory Wong tion approached the first emperor skeleton for the fifth time each touch igniting boundless expectation his eyes shimmering with fervent light as if it were not merely a corpse but a treasure Trove brimming with Untold riches ding congratulations host you have touched a Celestial great corpse gaining the Supreme Celestial artifact Dragon command seal the systems voice rang like Celestial music in Wong tion's mind Tio have acquired the Supreme Celestial artifact Dragon command seal was beyond his imagination Wong tion's face lit up with exhilaration he had not anticipated such an extraordinary treasure on his fifth attempt the dragon command seal was of the same caliber as the legendary susian sword it was said to Harbor mysterious and potent true dragon energy capable of subduing all under heaven when Unleashed however Wong tion did not delve deeply into the dragon command seal instead he took a deep breath and reached out once more toward the first Emperor's skeleton this marked his sixth attempt yet when his hand made contact with the skeleton no system notification followed unwilling to concede defeat Wong tion tried to touch it several more times but still no sound emerged from the system it became evident to him that he could extract no further rewards from the first emperor SK point5 times seems to be the limit Wong tion mused softly though a twinge of regret lingered he felt considerable satisfaction in having obtained five precious rewards gradually he withdrew his gaze from the first Emperor's skeleton and shifted his attention to the accompanying Treasures within the coffin the first Emperor's burial Goods far surpassed those of other Emperors in Grandeur there were six Celestial gray treasures and a dazzling Celestial artifact now possessing an elevated perspective Wong tion had little interest in the celestial great items his Focus was solely on the celestial artifact that it was a sword entirely golden in Hue radiating Brilliance as if narrating Tales of its extraordinary lineage the blade was inscribed with a vividly lifelike nine clawed Golden Dragon its Majestic claws poised in a fierce display exuding an air of dominance while dragon energy subtly emanated from the sword's body this sword is remarkable even surpassing my xen sword Wong tion could not help but exclaim in admiration he reached out to grasp the celestial sword and as soon as he held it he felt an overwhelming surge of dragon soul power emanating from its blade a force akin to tumultuous waves that left him utterly astonished this sword actually contains the soul of a dragon king wongon exclaimed in disbelief he closed his eyes to sense it more carefully confirming the presence of the Dragon King Soul accompanied by the resonant Echoes of dragon Roars emanating from the blade this is the Imperial Dragon Sword a supreme celestial if it could absorb more dragon souls it could Ascend to the status of a quasi artifact the voice of the first emperor resonated from the darkness tinged with a hint of Pride Ascend to a quasi artifact Wong tion's eyes gleamed with excitement as visions of the future flooded his mind if he were to journey to Dragon Island to collect more dragon souls this sword could Elevate to quasi artifact status in mere moments indeed this was crafted by my teacher the dragon soul within to be precise belongs to the the Dragon Emperor the mightiest ruler of the Dragon Clan from yor the first Emperor's words left wongon gasping in shock the strongest emperor of the Dragon Clan was transformed into a sword's dragon soul such a feat was astonishing revealing the immense power of the first Emperor's teacher what a magnificent Imperial Dragon Sword once I have the time I shall visit Dragon Island and elevate it to a quasi artifact W tion was enamored with the sword his eyes brimming with excitement and anticipation however with time pressing upon him he refrained from testing its might and carefully stored it within the system space after completing these tasks wongon settled into a meditative position within the nine Dragon array ancestor I wish to cultivate for a while please assist in my protection wongon disregarding all else was eager to enhance his strength once seated he began to absorb the dragon Aura and dragon souls granted by the system system absorbed 2,000 years of dragon Aura Wong tion opted to absorb the Dragon AA first Ando sooner had he spoken than an immense torrent of dragon Aura surged into his body nearly overwhelming him so much Dragon Aura akin to an ocean threatened to burst his form wong tion realized he may have overestimated his capabilities with his current late stage Celestial Immortal strength he had assumed that absorbing 2,000 years of dragon Aura would be a trivial task little did he know this Dragon Aura was as Relentless and boundless as crashing waves continuously battering against his body had he known he would have started with a mere Thousand Years Wong tion lamented inwardly however there was no time for regrets he gritted his teeth and hastily began to forcefully absorb the vast Dragon Aura as the dragon Aura flowed in and was absorbed W tion's body underwent a remarkable transformation and evolution his skin shimmered with a Golden Glow and every muscle brimmed with power even the golden dragon soul in his Danon rapidly grew becoming more solid and formidable meanwhile while within the prime minister's residence in the capital suchen was in her chamber her face radiating with joy as she tried on a splendid Phoenix crown and robe she gazed into the mirror admiring herself from various angles dreaming of one day becoming the empress revered and enjoying endless riches and Glory just then prime minister sujan Nan hurriedly entered his face etched with urgency and panic starkly contrasting suchin delight. Cher stop trying on the garments quickly gather your things we must leave the city sujan nin urged his voice laced with urgency what is happening father why must I leave the city so suddenly suchin asked bewilderment filling her eyes the forces of daa are advancing rapidly we must flee at once or we shall find ourselves trapped sujan Nan explained hastily pulling suchin along without further Ado upon reaching the courtyard they found it eerily quiet the bustling servants had already been dismissed by sujan Nan only a contingent of guards and a few trusted AIDS remained standing solemnly did his majesty not issue a decree allowing the sex to resist on their own why is DA's advance so Swift suin heart raced at the sight her voice trembling with fear don't not mention it those sex are as unreliable as reads in the wind wherever the do of forces tread those sects capitulate without hesitation sujan nide disappointment and anger evident in his gaze he had long suspected that those sects could not be relied upon their resources for cultiv ation were self- sustained and they had no reason to risk their lives for the deian Dynasty change the Dynasty and they would continue to thrive why would they choose death what they have surrendered what about lho mountainsin asked anxiously her eyes filled with Dread lho Mountain was their faction's primary sect without its support their predicament would become exceedingly perilous though not mention it those ungrateful wretches from lho Mountain seeing the deian Dynasty on the brink of collapse began to play Both Sides secretly contacting daet to secure a new Patron sujan n cursed vehemently his face flushed with anger L who Mountain has also surrendered how can we possibly Escape suchin was utterly distraught her complexion pale as a ghost without lho mountains protection their lives were perpetually in Jeopardy she was still young she did not wish to die for she harbored countless unfulfilled dreams and aspirations without lho Mountain we must leave if we do not flee soon daa will Circle the capital suan Nan declared loading their belongings onto a firecloud steed Carriage this Steed could travel 8,000 m a day a rare and exceptional mount with this Steed they could evade DA's Pursuit suin watched an alarm as their belongings were loaded onto the carriage her heart racing with trepidation she envisioned a future fraught with uncertainty engulfed in fear and unease father I do not wish to flee perhaps we could surrender instead suchen suddenly halted a stubborn look etched upon her panicked face what surrender to daa sujan Nan's anger flared he glared at suchin and disbelief as the prime minister of the deian dynasty second only to the emperor how could he easily capitulate father think about it is there any hope for the deian dynasty to turn the tide now suchin gazed intently at her father with 800,000 border troops lost 60,000 Dragon guard troops gone and all the sex surrendering their remaining Elite guards and City Defense Forces were unreliable the deian dynasty had reached a point where its demise was inevitable sujan Nan began to ponder his expression growing increasingly grave furthermore the aggressors against the deian dynasty were not solely daa but also five other nations and an island indeed since the dean Dynasty is destined for destruction why not seek a new master you are still prime minister open the city Gates lead your loyalists to surrender to daa and they will surely treat you favorably perhaps you could even be GR Ed an official title suchin proposed with growing fervor as if envisioning a bright future beckoning them this time sujan Nan did not react with immediate anger but Stood Still contemplating after thorough consideration he suddenly made a decision very well escaping would only lead to Pursuit by daa it would be wiser to surrender the city a glint of ruthlessness flashed in sujan Nan's eyes as if he had resolved to follow a certain course of action moreover I must present a significant gift to Da as Empress what gift suchin asked curiously her eyes filled with anticipation the last emperor of the deian dynasty suan Nan's face Twisted with malice his expression suggesting he was already envisioning himself seeking rewards from a new master chapter 162 is the nation doomed inside the palace newly ascended Emperor Wong Hong paced anxiously within the Golden Dragon Hall his steps were hurried and erratic his face a portrait of anxiety and helplessness where is prime minister Sue I do not know what is happening outside Wong Hong furrowed his brow muttering to himself as he cast frequent glances toward the outside his gaze filled with hope for news of a favorable turn however to his dismay messenger soldiers rushed in one after another bearing nothing but heartbreaking bad news whether it was the city being captured by enemy forces or the sex surrendering each piece of news struck Wong Hong's Heart Like A Hammer amplifying his sense of unease just as he felt utterly helpless on the brink of Despair SU Jean Nan and suqin hurriedly entered prime minister sue you have finally returned the forces of Da have reached yining less than 200 km from our Capital how shall we respond Wong hongk eyes brightened upon seeing sujan Nan and he rushed to greet him the despair in his gaze momentarily replaced by a glimmer of hope your majesty the situation is not as dire as you believe I have dispatched disciples from lho Mountain and the dragon guard Army to yining to assist in defense the da forces will not be able to breach our defenses is immediately sujan Nan quickly reassured hoping to calm Wong hongk agitated heart nevertheless Wong hongk anxiety persisted lho Mountain had suffered heavy losses in the prior explosion of the Dragon guard array and the dragon guard Army having long defended the capital lacked combat experience he feared that neither of these forces could withstand for long Wong Hong possessed a Discerning Eye acutely aware of the strengths and current states of the two teams instantly recognizing that their combat capabilities were utterly insufficient to contend with the formidable forces of The Da Kingdom your majesty I believe you are overly anxious allow me to present you with a cup of tranquil Spirit fruit juice that I have personally brewed drink it and let your heart find Solace suchin said tenderly producing a cup of the meticulously prepared Elixir and smilingly offering it to Wong Hong her eyes reflecting care and warmth thank you chener once we have repelled the forces of daa I shall take you as my consort Wong Hong replied feeling a twinge of agit a within himself without giving it much thought he accepted the cup of tranquil Spirit fruit juice and consumed it in one swift motion he also made a mental note to win over Su Janan as he would still need to rely on him thus needing to secure his daughter's favor however no sooner had he down the juice than an overwhelming wave of weakness washed over him as if all his strength had been abruptly siphoned away what is happening why do I feel so drained he wondered attempting to circulate his dragon energy only to be horrified to find it stagnated no matter how hard he tried he could summon not a shred of it your majesty I no longer wish to be the empress let someone else take on that role suen coldly replied her gaze transforming into one of icy indifference starkly contrasting her previous gentleness what you no longer wish to be Empress Wong Hong was momentarily taken aback his mind momentarily ceasing to function yet he quickly grasped the reason behind his sudden weakness what did you just make me drink he exclaimed his eyes wide with Terror filled with Fury and disbelief as he turned to sujan on seeking an explanation your majesty I must confess I was deceiving you the Disciples of lho mountain and the dragon guard did not go to Yin City for support suenan stated his face now devoid of the previous respect replaced by a chilling and merciless demeanor this morning daa has already conquered Yin City if nothing unforeseen occurs they will arrive in the capital within the hour his voice resonated like a harbinger of Doom each syllable piercing Wong hongk Heart Like a cold dagger what the forces of daa have taken Yin City why did you lie to me what do you intend to do a wave of forboding washed over Wong Hong his voice trembling his body shaking with fear we mean to offer you to the Empress of daa su Janan stated bowing slightly devoid of any remorse thin without warning he struck Wong Hong at the back of the neck with a powerful blow forgive me you're mad Majesty the strike rendered the already weakened Wong Hong unconscious collapsing to the ground like a lifeless Mass father he is fainted suchin said with a hint of anxiety in her voice trembling slightly for this was an act against the emperor and fear naturally crept into her heart quickly bind him the forces of daa are nearing and we must hasten to welcome the empress Su Janan commanded urgently as though executing a mundane task without hesitation he produced a prepared rope and swiftly B the unconscious Wong Hong securing him tightly disregarding entirely the fact that he was the emperor the coarse rope left deep imprints on Wong hongk body yet he remained oblivious to it as noon approached the sun blazed down upon the Earth the Empress of daa suene exan personally led a million strong Army to the capital however at the city Gates a throng of ministers had already gathered to welcome her my Lord it seems they have opened the gates and surrender lenning squinted peering into the distance to report to suene ex indeed they are rather astute having lost the dragon Guardian array protecting the capital they realized they could not withstand the iron Hooves of daa so they directly opened the gates to see the city suene exine remarked clad in a fitted silver armor that shimmered under the sunlight accentuating her commanding presence leading the charge appeared to be suan on the chancellor of the great Chen dnasty yet there was no sight of their new emperor Wong

brink of unfolding all rise and prepare to enter the capital suene xine commanded her hand gracefully sweeping as she rode forth with confidence towards the grand gates in her heart she began to Envision herself as the new Sovereign of this vast land ready to rule with an iron fist a te that moment a blinding Golden Light erupted from the deepest recesses of the royal tomb followed by a resonating dragon's Roar that reverberated through the heavens with my presence the great chin shall not perish chapter 163 the Pinnacle emerges within the emperor Chin's melum an aura of Tranquility enveloped the surroundings Wong tion sat majestically at the center of the nine dragon in Array surrounded by a dense ethereal dragon energy as if he were a drift in a mystical sea of clouds after successfully absorbing two Millennia of dragon energy a transformative change occurred within him propelling his strength to the realm of celestial Perfection I in the tonan continent this was a pinnacle of existence akin to reaching level 99 in a game a step further would lead to Ascension to the upper realm exploring even higher dimensions of mystery however upon achieving this peak Wong tion did not cease his Endeavors a Resolute glimmer Shone in his steadfast eyes as he resolved to continue absorbing the systems reward of a millennium of dragon souls as the power of the dragon souls continuously infused into his being the golden dragon soul within his Danon began to grow at a visibly astonishing Pace Time seemed to freeze everything around him faded into insignificance with only the ever expanding dragon soul bearing witness to Wong tion's burgeoning strength it was unclear how long had passed the protracted duration appeared to lose its meaning within this enigmatic space finally the Millennium of dragon souls was entirely absorbed by wongon and the dragon soul within his Danton expanded to a formidable length of 350 M if Unleashed it would undoubtedly be a sight to behold the moment Wong tion opened his eyes two radiant beams of Golden Light shot forth slicing through the darkness like piercing lasers their intensity evoking feared a last having reached the Pinnacle he was ready to emerge Wong tion slowly Rose from the ground stretching his body each movement exuded an innate Majesty at te this moment he felt an unprecedented sense of elation as if all Shadows had been dispelled he had concealed himself within the Royal tomb adopting a hidden identity all in anticipation of this day when he would stand at the summit of power now he was invincible in the realm no longer needing to mask his Brilliance for in this world none could contend with Wong tion young man your talent are indeed rare in this world from the moment you entered the Royal tomb until now a mere four to 5 months have passed and you have surged from the ninth tier to Celestial Perfection the voice of Emperor Chen echoed from the depths of the darkness filled with awe and reflection such an extraordinary rate of cultivation perhaps unprecedented in history the emperor's words reverberated throughout the vast tomb adding to the admiration for Wong tion thank you for your praise ancestor I shall be taking my leave now wongon respect Yul bowed to Emperor Chen his gesture imbued with reverence I in an instant his figure vanished from the melum as if he had never been there the next moment a dazzling Golden Dragon Aura surged forth like a volcanic eruption ascending to the heavens the Brilliance was blinding enveloping the entire Royal tomb in a resplendent Golden Glow simultaneously a thunderous dragon roar resonated through the skies echoing with the might of an ancient Beast carrying an overwhelming sense of authority and Power resonating throughout the capital outside the city Gates the armies of the DU Kingdom were preparing to March a in suin Sheen lining suenan suchin and all others were drawn by the sudden terrifying dragon roar turning to gaze in the direction from when it came they beheld a colossal golden nine claw Dragon hurtling toward them from the direction of the royal tomb its immense form radiating unparalleled Majesty its Dragon might spreading like surging waves even from several kilometers away the oppressive Dragon might could be distinctly felt the weight of it was like a mountain rendering one nearly breathless as if the entire world trembled beneath its presence even Sujin Sheen the Empress of the DU Kingdom felt an unprecedented pressure her brows furrowed as she strained to harness her spiritual power barely resisting the domineering Dragon might what an astounding Dragon might could this dragon soul belong to Emperor chin suin Sheen pondered her expression grave her situation was relatively better others were not so fortunate the soldiers and Ministers of lower cultivation levels trembled uncontrollably their legs turning to jelly succumbing to this irresistible Force the nine clawed Golden Dragon soared swiftly above the capital and as it drew nearer the onlookers finally discerned a figure at top the dragon this individual stood with arms crossed behind him his posture erect Eyes Cold and authoritative exuding an air of sovereign disdain with my presence the great chin shall not perish Wong tion declared his voice booming like a bell reverberating through the skies as if piercing the clouds to reach the very ends of the universe his words were imbued with unwavering conviction and unshakable confidence a solemn proclamation to the world that Drew All Eyes upon him his voice resonated like a great gong echoing in the air reaching every EA ardes yuanan and suchin felt a jolt in their hearts as if struck by a heavy Hammer they strained to harness their spiritual energy struggling to lift their heads gaze Skyward when their eyes met the figures standing at top the golden dragon soul their faces registered utter shock as if witnessing the most inconceivable sight how could it be him suchin exclaimed her voice trembling with disbelief and profound fear her eyes widened in astonishment nearly bulging from their sockets as they fixated on Wong tion Impossible Is this not the useless sixth Prince suan on equally astounded gaped in disbelief his jaw nearly dropping to the ground in his memory Wong tion had always been the bullied ineffectual Prince yet today the sixth Prince before him emanated an imposing presence as terrifying as a mountain the unfathomable realm and formidable power were Beyond even this seasoned Fox of the political and martial Arenas the dragon might emanating from the nine clawed Golden Dragon beneath him was so overwhelming that he could hardly stand upright with each breath he felt the crushing weight as if an invisible Mountain pressed upon his back aside from the two of them the other ministers also began to realize the identity of the newcomer isn't that the sixth Prince wongon wasn't he demoted to guard the Royal tomb they were all astonished their eyes filled with disbelief and confusion suene Sheen scrutinized the newcomer intently absorbing The Whispers of the kneeling ministers without missing a word upon hearing that the newcomer was the so-called useless sixth Prince of the great Chen Dynasty she too was taken AB during her campaign against the great Chen she had ordered the collection of Intelligence on many significant figures yet had overlooked this seemingly inconsequential Prince thus the sudden appearance of this sixth Prince radiating such formidable Aura left Sujin Sheen feeling perplexed and unfamiliar you are the sixth Prince Wong tion of the great Shin Sujin Sheen unwilling to appear inferior leapt from her Mount and ascended into the air she immediately Unleashed her empress's imposing presence her powerful Aura spreading like a tempest she did not wish her soldiers to witness their Empress being overshadowed by another as it would severely impact morale and potentially destabilize the Army's resolve you possess Keen Insight indeed I am Wong tion the sixth Prince of the great Chen Dynasty Wong tion replied nonchalantly his voice calm and steady as if everything before him was well within his control I never expected that while everyone else chose to surrender you would have the audacity to stand forth quite commendable but do you really believe you alone can withstand my million strong Army Sujin shein's voice dripped with coldness and provocation her gaze revealing a hint of disdain and skepticism a million troops Wong tion scoffed casting a dismissive glance at the soldiers of the DU Kingdom as if regarding a mere swarm of insignificant ants he then contemptuously stated in my eyes a million troops are nothing but ants easily extinguished with a mere wave of my hand ants easily extinguished with a wave of your hand just you Sujin Sheen laughed coldly her laughter laced with mockery and disbelief just me Wong tion responded indifferently before suddenly bellowing swords come forth this command resounded like thunder instantly causing a tremendous upheaval throughout the great Chen Dynasty countless swords flew into the air from the capital to the farthest borders whether crude iron blades or ordinary wooden swords sacred swords or rare Celestial blades all responding to this powerful summons I in an instant a torrent of Flying Swords surged toward the capital densely packed as if a locust swarm had descended their momentum resounding throughout the heavens the sight was so overwhelming that it seemed to obscure the entire Sky instilling fear in all who beheld it those present including Su Sheen and her companions were left in stunned silence overwhelmed by the spectacle chapter 164 one sword to annihilate a million troops the Myriad Flying Swords blotted out the sky creating an apocalyptic scene that pressed down upon the onlookers nearly suffocating them with Dread their eyes widened in astonishment mouth Agape yet no sound escaped their lips as though the extraordinary spectacle before them had rendered them speechless how could he summon such a multitude of Flying Swords numbering in the hundreds of millions to what Heights had his power ascended even Sujin Sheen typically composed found herself daunted by the scene unfolding she mused that with her own abilities it was inconceivable to summon such an array of Swords implying that the sixth Prince Wong tion far surpassed her in strength the mere thought instilled a wave of dread within her it was not merely his terrifying power that frightened her but the realization of How Deeply he had concealed his true capabilities until now no one had been privy to his strength among those most astonished were Su xenan and his daughter suchin how could this be this sixth Prince once deemed a worthless fool could readily command such an impressive Legion of Swords Su Janan was not only shocked but also gripped by fear cold sweat trickled down his forehead cascading down his cheeks and pooling on the ground he recalled the schemes he had previously devised against Wong tion those past machinations now haunted him like a nightmare with Wong tion's strength now so formidable would he not seek Vengeance and annihilate him in an instant as this realization dawned suenan trembled uncontrollably his legs weakened nearly failing him impossible it simply could not be just last month he had seen Wong tion still a mere wasil how could he have transformed into such a Powerhouse and just a few days suchin could hardly accept the reality before her her voice trembled sharp with Despair and resentment she had expended great effort to anull her engagement with Wong tion who had seemed so insignificant and incapable at the time yet now in the blink of an eye he had grown so powerful making her feel as if she had forsaken the most precious treasure in the world it was akin to discovering that what she had discarded was in fact a gleaming nugget of gold the thought was unbearable and utterly unacceptable the other corders kneeling on the ground shared in the shock of Wang tion's overwhelming power their bodies quaked their hearts filled with awe and Terror the disdain and neglect they had shown him transformed into profound regret in that moment as they recognized that a new Force had emerged and their prior ignorance and arrogance could lead to irreparable consequences behold this sword can annihilate a million strong Army of the daa Kingdom Wong tion proclaimed nonchalantly before unleashing a thunderous shout all swords returned to their origin as his words faded countless Flying Swords cascaded from the heavens like a torrential downpour upon the million strong Army of the daa Kingdom each drop represented a sword imbued with a fierce sword aura that seemed capable of rending the very fabric of space the sword Ora howled past producing a piercing sound that assaulted the ears the soldiers of the daa Kingdom looked up in Terror their eyes filled with Despair and helplessness faced with this Deluge of Swords they felt diminutive and fragile a to leaves caught in a tempest utterly unable to withstand the force of Destruction some cowardly soldiers had already collapsed to the ground losing control of their bodily functions entirely stripped of their will to fight meanwhile those commanders who attempted to resist brandish their weapons striving to fend off the onslaught of Flying Swords yet in the face of this Relentless storm their efforts appeared utterly feudal I in the blink of an eye tens of thousands of soldiers perished beneath the onslaught of Swords the scene grot esly tragic blood flowed like Rivers pooling into ghastly Crimson streams corpses piled high forming mountains that exuded a nauseating stench of blood no Sujin Sheen's eyes turned Crimson as realization struck her gaze AFF flame with rage Despair and disbelief this was her entire military force the very Foundation upon which she had built her Ambitions if they perished here the nent de Kingdom would plummet into a Chasm of decline once more Celestial umbrella Sujin produced an artifact from her possession a palm-sized umbrella this Exquisite umbrella radiated a dense spiritual energy enveloped by a white luminescent curtain resembling a mystical Shield infusing it with her spiritual power she hurled the umbrella into the AI or as its sword it expanded rapidly to cover the entire Capital enveloping most of the D soldiers beneath its protective canopy countless Flying Swords rained down like a tempest yet were intercepted by this Celestial umbrella the incess crackling sound resembled the fervent bursts of firecrackers showing no signs of abating with the celestial umbrella in place the casualties among the da soldiers were significantly reduced however those soldiers outside the umbrella continued to suffer mercilessly beneath the unyielding barrage of Flying Swords grateful for her teacher gift of this Celestial artifact Sujin Shen exhaled a sigh of relief knowing that without it the million soldiers of The Da Kingdom would have faced complete Annihilation yet she understood that the crisis was far from over you think this can withstand my all swords return to origin break for me Wong tion's Golden Dragon Aura surged violently enveloping him in resplendent golden light with a mere gesture six Celestial swords led by the extermination sword transformed into streaks of meteors hurtling towards the celestial umbrella at incredible speed though the umbrella was a powerful artifact won's six swords Amplified By The Sword array of all swords returned to origin wielded unprecedented might as if they could tear the heavens asunder with a deafening Boom the celestial umbrella shattered under the terrifying impact scattering into countless fragments I in an instant a multitude of Flying Swords descended once more upon the soldiers of The Da Kingdom how is this possible the celestial umbrella was destroyed in an instant it is an artifact Sujin Sheen was once again taken aback her heart consumed by Terror and despair just as she contemplated deploying another treasure to save her soldiers she was horrified to see the six Celestial swords flying directly towards her with no other choice suin Sheen summoned all her strength to defend against the oncoming blades her complexion paled as beads of sweat streamed down her forehead each defensive maneuver left her utterly drained absent her support the million strong Army below faced another merciless Slaughter at the hands of the all swords return to origin ion mere moments tens of thousands of vibrant lives were extinguished some soldiers sought refuge in buildings or Underground desperate for a glimmer of hope yet the powerful Flying Swords pierced through the ground demolishing structures and slaughtering all who sought Sanctuary without Mercy they could neither resist nor evade all that awaited them was a path to death ey in the face of such overwhelming power their lives seemed as fragile as ants the swiftness of the massacre bore no distinction from Exterminating insects with each passing second lives were lost and blood was spilled wongon I will kill you suin shenk's heart bled anguish tearing through her yet the six Celestial swords remained steadfastly focused on her the moment she relaxed they would shred her to Pieces unable to divert her attention Sujin Sheen could only watch helplessly as the million soldiers of the daa Kingdom were reduced to ashes beneath the Relentless rain of Swords tears brimmed in her eyes a mixture of guilt for her soldiers and hatred for wongon an hour later the million soldiers of The Da Kingdom lay annihilated outside the capital rivers of blood flowed the viscous liquid staining the earth a deep Crimson corpses piled high resembling mountains of Death From Afar the gruesome seemed too horrific to behold suene Sheen your million strong Army is no more now it is your turn a faint smirk graced Wong tion's lips as his cold Gaze fixated on her devoid of any compassion only an unending chill and intent to kill chapter 165 you shall meet the same fate one man one sword annihilating a million strong Army this spectacle was utterly astonishing completely reversing the tide of battle Eugene Sheen stared blankly at the mountains of corpses below her heart aching beyond measure her eyes instantly turning Crimson as if they might bleed she never anticipated that just an hour ago she had been filled with pride and joy ready to seize the capital envisioning herself as the new Sovereign of this realm yet in the span of that hour everything had been turned upside down the battlefields Dynamics had shifted dramatically and she found herself at an absolute disadvantage her very life now hanging by a thread Wong tion I will kill you consumed by rage suin Sheen Drew forth a silver white Celestial sword channeling all her spiritual energy into it the silver blade trembled violently emitting a piercing Eagle cry that resonated as if from ancient times instilling fear in all who heard it you wish to kill me you are not worthy Wong tion regarded Sujin shein's Fury with disdain with a casual wave the six cel IAL sword shot towards her at Breakneck speed once more they darted forth like six brilliant meteors propelled by an overwhelming sword in tint reaching Sujin Sheen in the blink of an eye the velocity was so tremendous that there was no time to react Celestial technique Moon Eagle Strike Sujin Sheen dared not hold back unleashing her most formidable sword technique a Celestial art with a sweeping motion countless sword oras coalesced into lifelike Flying Eagles soaring into the sky and charging at the six celes Cal swords each Eagle was imbued with immense power as if destined to tear everything to shreds fugene Sheen had always been confident in this Celestial technique she had once used it to obliterate a rebellious faction within the daa kingdom tens of thousands had perished beneath its might with not a single soul spared at it that time she believed herself to be an invincible presence in the realm of swordsmanship however her confidence Laden strike proved to be as fragile as a mere sheet of paper when faced with Wong tion's six celestial swords the Myriad of Sword energies transformed into countless Soaring Eagles which were instantaneously obliterated by the fierce sword Aura emanating from the six Celestial blades Fading Into nothingness I in the next heartbeat the six Celestial swords surged toward Sujin Sheen without any hindrance how could this be my Celestial technique the moon Eagle formation has been Shattered by him before Sujin Sheen could recover from her shock the six Celestial swords were already upon her I in that critical moment the silver armor Dawn sensed an overwhelming danger and automatically activated its defense mode this was an extraordinarily precious Celestial armor upon activation a thick layer of white luminescence quickly condensed upon its surface enveloping suin Sheen in a cocoon of ethereal energy yet even with such formidable Celestial armor shielding her it was swiftly Shattered by the six Celestial swords with a resounding bang the sound echoed like a Thunderclap the armor was instantly riddled with cracks as if it could shatter at any moment moment celestial spirit armor activate Sujin Sheen overwhelmed by Terror felt the imminent threat of death for the first time in her life she promptly channeled all her spiritual energy into the celestial armor hoping it could withstand the lethal assault of the six Celestial swords however her power paled in comparison to Wong tion's overwhelming sword Force she was utterly unable to fend off the fierce onslaught of the six Celestial swords and the cracks in the celestial spirit armor widened threatening to break apart completely his sword force is too strong I am utterly outmatched has he truly ascended to the realm of the celestial Immortals Sujin shein's heart was flooded with Dread and despair she could not fathom why Wong tion was so powerful so strong that she felt utterly helpless and insignificant the game is over perish wongon intensified the output of his dragon energy causing the Brilliance of the six Celestial swords to Surge even brighter dazzling to the point of being blinding I in the next moment they pierced through suin Sheen's celestial spirit armor effortlessly just as the six Celestial swords were about to impale suin Sheen an immense Force erupted from within them abruptly interrupting Wong tion's assault and miraculously saving the doomed Sujin Sheen wongon furrowed his brow his gaze darting toward the source of this unforeseen intervention revealing an elderly figure clad in a gray DST robe exuding an imposing Aura as he stood protectively before suin Sheen upon seeing this elder suin Sheen's heart leaped with joy as if she had glimpsed a glimmer of hope in the darkness teacher you have come suin Sheen was acutely aware of her teacher formidable prowess a true Celestial Immortal a being of unrivaled might in the tonin continent years ago a horde of frigid demonic beasts had wreaked havoc in the Great Moon Kingdom causing countless casualties she had led an army of 200,000 to quell the uprising but returned in defeat suffering heavy losses yet when her teacher arrived he had effortlessly shattered The 10,000-year-old Frigid beasts with a single punch showcasing unparalleled strength thus the true pillar of support for the Great Moon Kingdom was this mysterious and Powerful Elder you must withdraw to recuperate you are no match for him leave this to me the Elder xenin commanded his voice deep and authoritative tinged with an unyielding gravity all right please be careful teacher he employs the sword techniques of shushan Sujin Shin cautioned before retreating Wong on did not impede Sujin Sheen's departure in his view he could eliminate her at any time the immediate threat was the Elder who had suddenly materialized you must be her teacher wongon remarked his Keen ears having caught every word of their exchange indeed you are the sword Sovereign of shushan are you not wongon the hidden sixth Prince has deceived the world so thoroughly yet you cannot fool me the Elder shenin clasped his hands behind his back his fists tightly clenched Knuckles whitening as if of poised to deliver a fatal Blow To Wong tion Wong tion upon hearing this was slightly taken aback this was the first person to see through his identity indicating that the Elder before him was no ordinary opponent you shall find the same fate Wong tion smirked unleashing his dragon energy fully the brilliant golden energy enveloped him transforming him into a figure reminiscent of a war god chapter 166 unmatched the Elder shenin witnessing the overwhelming strength of Wang tion's dragon energy instantly wore a grave expression his weathered eyes narrowed revealing an unprecedented caution having lived for over two Millenia he had weathered countless storms and encountered numerous formidable foes yet he had never before faced someone as potent as wongon this young man as Aura exceeds even my own shenin felt a surge of vigilance unwilling to allow even the slightest lapse in focus to counter Wong tion's ever increasing might xenin took a deep breath and Unleashed his full power his Aura surged like a tempestuous sea crashing outward in waves that collided and intertwined with Wong tion's presence the impending clash between two Celestial Immortal Masters was palpable the surrounding air seemingly Frozen in tension all swords returned to their origin wongon bellowed his voice imbued with authority and strength countless Flying Swords ascended from the ground once more their sheer numbers resembling a swarm of locusts swiftly obscuring the sky in a shroud of Darkness with a mere gesture W tion sent a torrential rain of Swords hurtling toward the Elder xenin the onslaught was so densely packed that there was no Escape each sword was imbued with a razor sharp energy slicing through the air with a deafening whoosh teacher be careful from a distance Sujin Shen gasped in alarm at the heart stopping spectacle before her she had recently witnessed the terrifying power of Wong tion's all swords returned to their origin technique and knew its devastating potential Celestial technique manifestation of all beings Shen ined unleashing an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy from within in an instant a colossal manifestation identical to him appeared behind him towering over 10 m High formed from dense spiritual energy the manifestation was barechested muscular and its expression was solemn and imposing as if it were an ancient war deity facing the Relentless barrage of Flying Swords the manifestation struck out with a colossal Palm its size akin to a mountain wielding an Unstoppable Force this tremendous power sent hundreds of thousands of Flying Swords hurtling away crashing down hundreds of kilometers away and rendering them utterly useless with a series of deep thuds with a single blow he had obliterated hundreds of thousands of Swords an exhibition of Might that was truly chilling the manifestation struck out again sending yet more hundreds of thousands of Swords flying its power seemingly capable of annihilating anything in its path ion mere breaths it had sent millions of Flying Swords into the void seizing the opportunity the remaining swords surged toward shenin but he let out another shout unleashing ripples of spiritual energy that spread like water waves directly disrupting billions of Flying Swords in madir break for me shenin thundered his voice resonating like a clap of Thunder the ripples exploded outward the immense Force sending billions of Swords flying away creating a scene so awe inspiring it felt as if the end of days had arrived truly impressive teacher with just a single Celestial technique he has countered his all swords returned to their origin suin Sheen felt a surge of relief her previously anxious heart easing somewhat however her Joy was premature as wongon waved his hand and the six Celestial swords darted forth like lightning these six Celestial swords were entirely unaffected by the energy ripples from the manifestation continuing their Relentless Advance toward the Elder Shen akin to six brilliant shooting stars their sword energy tearing through the very fabric of space come forth the man estation of shenin extended its massive Palm once more its formidable strength again swatting away the foremost of the six Celestial swords however the piercing sword energy still managed to inflict a deep gash upon the manifestation sand ASA result a crimson wound appeared on shien yin's own hand blood oozing forth and staining his sleeve to think I could be injured by your manifestation xenin realized he had somewhat underestimated Wong tion strength a wave of astonishment washing over him try to catch it with your hand hands Wong tion taunted a smirk playing on his lips brimming with confidence and provocation his Zan sword was an Exquisite Celestial sword and coupled with his Celestial Immortal prowess and the array of all swords returned to their origin it was no simple feat for an elder armed only with a Celestial technique to catch his blade bare-handed you think you are the only one with Celestial swords shenin sensed he could no longer hold back otherwise he would surely be overpowered as's words fell he produced a massive silvery gray sword from his spatial ring its blade radiating a mysterious energy Aura neither spiritual energy nor Dark Energy but an enigmatic force that was difficult to grasp tonen activate Shen bellowed channeling all his spiritual energy into the tonan celestial sword the Colossal sword erupted in a dazzling silver gray light its Brilliance blinding a the same time a similarly enormous sword appeared in the manifestation hand identical in form to the tonan celestial sword its sword Aura mirroring the original yet magnified over tenfold the perfect Fusion of the celestial technique and the Exquisite tonen Celestial sword significantly enhanced Shen Yan's power his Aura becoming increasingly terror-inducing as if capable of annihilating the heavens and the Earth however Wong tion remained remarkably composed his gaze devoid of any hint of fear instead brimming with tranquility and confidence do you think you alone possess Celestial Arts the corners of Wong tion's mouth curled up slightly his demeanor relaxed he sensed that relying solely on the six Celestial swords and the technique of 10,000 swords returning to the source would not suffice to subdue The Old Man and thus unleashed the celestial technique Dragon devouring the heavens the aura of the Dragon surged from Wong tion's body erupting like a volcano the Golden Dragon Spirit beneath his feet seemed to respond suddenly opening its massive jaws and voraciously sucking in the Avatar of the shanning old man that dragon's mouth resembled an fathomable Abyss generating an immensely powerful pulling Force the shenin old man had believed that acquiring the tion Shen Celestial sword would enable him to handle wongon little did he anticipate that his opponent would also wield Celestial arts and that the level of those Arts might even surpass his ow WN s dragon devouring the heavens manifested his Avatar and physical form were directly drawn towards the Golden Dragon Spirit and no matter how fiercely he struggled it was to no avail this pulling force is too strong I must take the initiative to attack the shenin old man grew anxious veins bulging on his forehead realizing that resistance was fudal he resolved to launch an offensive abandoning his struggle against the pulling Force he propelled himself toward Wong tion wielding the tion shien giant sword with fervor waves of immense sword Chi surged towards wangon each strike radiant and formidable capable of obliterating entire cities the sword Chi of the Avatar was at least 10 times larger than ordinary Sword shei and the Shen in Old Man Unleashed one strike after another as if attempting to cleave the very heavens and earth asunder devour for me Wong tion's gaze sharpened and the dragon Aura within him Whirled violently forming a colossal Vortex within the dragon spirit's mouth which promptly consumed the sword shei of the Avatar how is this possible the sword shei of the Avatar has actually been swallowed the shanning old man was struck with astonishment having intended to use the sword Chi to shatter the golden dragon only to find it devoured in dead akin to a stone sinking into the vast ocean creating not a ripple I refuse to believe you can continue to Devour the Shen old man undeterred Unleashed a multitude of Sword shei each infused with his tremendous power and determination yet without exception each strand of Sword Chi was consumed and even his physical form and Avatar were on the verge of being drawn into the dragon's maw stop struggling accept your demise Celestial art Heavenly Dragon Breath wongon eager to end this entanglement with the old man executed another Celestial technique as this technique manifested every fragment of dragon Aura transformed into dragon breath while the dragon Aura bore no harm the dragon breath possessed a potent corrosive quality capable of eroding all things the area surrounding the shien old man was already saturated with dragon AA now as it morphed into dragon breath it directly adhered to his physical form corroding him agonizingly the shien old man howled in in anguish his cries hauntingly despairing yet he did not surrender under the threat of death he Unleashed an unprecedented potential Celestial art Moonlight illuminates all the shenan old man invoked his final trump card his voice tinged with desperation and resolved the moon above seemed to respond to his call a radiant beam of moonlight descending upon Him bathed in this lunar glow the shanine old man's power surged explosively and with a forceful stomp he halted his forward momentum then with a thunderous shout he repelled all surrounding dragon breath causing the very space around him to tremble however having accomplished this he had nearly exhausted his internal spiritual energy panting heavily his complexion as pale as parchment don't think you could still struggle then I shall provide you with a little more to contend with a glint of coldness flashed in Wong tion's eyes and in the next moment another Celestial technique was Unleashed Celestial art wind sweeps the clouds this time Wong tion did not direct his technique at the shenin old man instead he summoned the clouds overhead obscuring the moon the sky darkened with thick Inky clouds swiftly blotting out the Moonlight without the power of the Moon the shenin old man's Moonlight illuminates all was rendered utterly ineffective and his physical form and Avatar were once again drawn toward the dragon's Ma how is this possible he can wield three Celestial Arts the shanine old man fell into complete despair his eyes filled with Terror and disbelief a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead chapter 167 the regret of the former fiance e theen old man had exhausted all his means yet still found himself unable to Prevail against Wong tion plunging him into a state of utter despair his physical form and Avatar were rapidly consumed by the enormous dragon's Jaws dragon breath scorching his surface the intense pain of corrosion rendering him nearly paralyzed as though he were ens snared in a Purgatory of suffering I can not allow this to continue otherwise I Shall Perish here the Shen old man was filled with Dread and reluctance having cultivated for over two Millennia and endured countless hardships he was on the cusp of achieving Divinity he did not wish to Die Here Without understanding Resolute a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes he swiftly retrieved a mystical artifact a spatial Pearl radiating a mysterious glow from his spatial bracelet and without hesitation infused it with his spiritual energy I in an instant he vanished from his location along with him the empress suin Sheen of the Great Moon Kingdom also disappeared trying to flee it w he be so easy Wong tion witnessing this bellowed angrily instantly dispersing his Dragon awareness that formidable Dragon awareness expanded like an invisible net encompassing thousands of kilometers capturing every flower and leaf within its purview soon wongon locked onto the direction in which the Shen in Old Man and empress Sujin Shin had fled Die For Me Wong tion's gaze sharpened and he pointed fiercely causing the xien sword to transform into a streak of flowing Light Racing towards that Direction with astonishing speed I in the blink of an eye it traversed thousands of kilometers a severed arm fell from the sky Crimson blood raining down like a deluge however the figures of The shien Old Man and Sujin Sheen did not materialize despite having his arms severed the Shen old man bore the agony not daring to look back as he retreated further Wong tion attempted to sense them once more but they had already escaped his awareness range count yourselves fortunate once I have settled the Affairs within the dynasty I shall return to your great Moon Kingdom to exact Vengeance for now I

infused with an undeniable Authority he then continued summon all loyal civil and military officials to the Golden Dragon Hall and notify the head of the chilin Pavilion Yun jongi to join us as well yes your highness MinGa replied and promptly turned to carry out the orders his steps were brisk and Resolute reflecting the seriousness with which he regarded Wong tion's command this assault on the daian dynasty involved a total of Seven Nations with the Great Moon Kingdom being just one after repelling the Great Moon Kingdom The Next Step was to address the remaining Six Nations including those dragons from pan Long Island before that Wong tion needed a comprehensive understanding of the Six Nations advances to effectively and swiftly eliminate them ensuring the complete safety of the deian dynasty. an hour later all civil and military officials loyal to the deian dynasty had assembled in the Golden Dragon hall. 01 opposed the sixth Prince seated upon the Golden Dragon throne in fact they all wholeheartedly endorsed him Wong tion's recent display of invincibility had truly astonished each and every one of them amidst their shock a sense of exhilaration and excitement surged within them with such a formidable ruler the Duan Dynasty would not perish indeed it might even usher in an even more glorious future this was Yun jong's first visit to the Golden Dragon Hall upon seeing the sixth Prince Wong tion seated upon the Imperial Throne he could no longer Harbor any feelings of disdain initially he had thought the sixth Prince to be an ineffectual waste but today he realized that the prince had been concealing his true abilities which were far beyond measure moreover the technique of 10,000 swords returning to one Le Yun jongi to suspect that the sixth Prince might indeed be the sword King otherwise his daughter yunio would not have suddenly ceased her opposition to their engagement and even openly associated with the sword King Master of the chilin Pavilion your intelligence network is the most formidable can you inform us where the other six nations have advanced wongon inquired his gaze piercing as he fixed it upon Yun jongi reporting to your highness the

details he had gathered such clear and precise information could likely only be swiftly and accurately acquired by The chilin Pavilion very well please wait wait for me here for a moment I shall return shortly with that Wong tion vanished from the Golden Dragon Hall in an instant this sudden turn of events left the Assembly of civil and military officials in a state of astonishment surely the sixth Prince would not Venture alone against the Coalition of six nations would he one scholar could not help but exclaim his voice laced with anxiety and skepticism that seems implausible does it not the coalition's forces outnumber those of The Da Kingdom another official echoed but before he could Commander MinGa of the Imperial guards promptly countered what is impossible about it our Prince has single-handedly annihilated the million strong Army of the de Kingdom he can just as easily Vanquish the Coalition of Six Nations alone mda's voice was Resolute and Powerful imbued with unwavering faith in wongon his words though audacious when unchallenged for only moments ago Wong tion had indeed single-handedly obliterated a million soldiers of the DU Kingdom even severing the arm of the Empire's master of strategy a formidable figure of celestial prowess who could not withstand Wong tion's might it does indeed seem feasible Heaven bless our great Shen Dynasty for in its direst hour it is given rise to a sixth Prince of such extraordinary caliber an elderly official his hair is white as snow fervently proclaimed his voice trembling with excitement and glistening tears of joy in his eyes this sentiment resonated with the assembly indeed at that time Chancellor suenan had even bound the late emperor in a bid for self-preservation had it not been for the sixth Prince's intervention our great Chin Dynasty might have already been extinguished others silently expressed their relief reflecting on the previous Peril and shuttering at the thought those remaining here were each fiercely loyal to the great Chen Dynasty the traitorous officials had perished beyond the city Gates as the ministers conversed the focus gradually shifted to Yun jongi of the Chen Pavilion this once second rate sect leader who would have previously garnered little attention from these officials was now regarded with Newfound warmth and familiarity they were all aware of the betral between the chilin maiden and the sixth Prince congratulations Pavilion Master Yun you have found an excellent son-in-law one Minister beamed his face a wash with smiles indeed Pavilion Master remember to invite me to your daughter's wedding Feast another official chimed in Pavilion master I would like to extend an invitation to visit my residents for a discussion if you have the time yet another Minister proposed faced with the enthusiastic overtures of the ministers Yun jongi found himself somewhat overwhelmed these were the powerful figures of the Court usually he would find it challenging

eliminate the Coalition of six nations in Just 2 hours they marveled at The Audacity Of This Coalition comprising over a million troops including formidable figures of the Earthly Immortal Realm

Annex their territories they lived in constant anxiety fearing the day Wong tion's forces would besiege their cities incorporating their lands into the great Chin's Dominion however Wong tion was currently preoccupied with more pressing matters he hastened to Shan's Divine Maiden Peak clutching nine precious materials he had gathered old ancestor jishua here are the nine materials I promised to collect for you I have now gathered them all wongon said presenting the precious items to Old ancestor xua the last two items lingong wood and Jang iron core had been discovered in the palace's treasury after securing the nine materials Wong wasted no time and headed straight to the Divine Maiden Peak to find old ancestor jishua I did not expect you to gather these nine materials so swiftly old ancestor xishu remarked astonished by Wong tion's ability to complete such a formidable task in such a short span however she was even more taken aback to learn that Wong tion was the sixth Prince of the great Chen old ancestor what weapon do you intend to forge with these materials Wong tion inquired casually curiosity gleaming in his eyes each of these nine materials was a r and exquisite find imbued with demonic repelling properties which peaked Wong tion's interest in Old ancestor jishua intentions I intend to forge the demon Exterminating Divine sword old ancestor jishua revealed without hesitation considering Wong tion as one of her own the demon Exterminating Divine sword The Mention Of The Demon Clan sent Wong tion's thoughts drifting to the Exquisite female corpse that lay

however I shall not attend as I must Forge the demon Exterminating sword old ancestor jishua smiled her eyes filled with blessings for Wong tion very well I shall take my leave Wong tion nodded and in an instant he vanished from the Divine Maiden Peak as swiftly as he had arrived leaving old ancestor jishua standing alone gazing at the spot where he had disappeared momentarily lost in thought before she finally turned to depart the day of Great Joy Soon arrived Wong tion dawned a resplendant golden robe adorned with nine Dragon motifs each Dragon depicted with lifelike precision as if poised to soar into the skies at any moment he wore the ceremonial Crown reserved for emperor its jeweled strands jingling softly bestowing upon him an air of solemn Majesty radiating an unparalleled Imperial presence under the watchful eyes of the ministers Wong tion ascended the dragon platform step by deliberate step each footfall resonating with the weight of authority he stood tall his gaze

support for Wong tion's decisions furthermore our Dynasty intends to establish a marshall examination allowing citizens from all regions to register without restrictions both men and women May participate and those with exceptional Talent May directly enter the court after a brief pause wongon proclaimed once more his voice Resolute and Powerful imbued with the determination for reform upon hearing this the crowd erupted in astonishment previously those wishing to serve in the court were largely recommended by officials or prominent families now however commoners also had the opportunity to serve the great Chen and contribute undoubtedly shattering the aristocracy's Monopoly on power your majesty I find the establishment of the Marshall examination to be inappropriate a voice of dissent arose from among the crowd it belonged to an elder Minister who had long adhered to traditional power structures fearful that new systems might threaten his and his family's interests Wong tion cast a piercing gaze in his direction as sharp as a sword causing the man to shiver and fall silent this is an imperial decree not a matter for discussion old master I entrust the Affairs of the Marshall examination entirely to you Wang tion's eyes turned to the venerable XO Yong Chong filled with trust and expectation after ascending to the throne he had immediately summon Z to his side recognizing the need for loyal allies in his Reign yes your majesty this old Minister will not let you down Z Yong Chong replied bowing with a voice both firm and Resolute as a master of The Immortal

other than the sixth Prince Wong tion he was publicly exiled to the Imperial Tomb yet has traversed the world under the guise of the sword King yuno explained patiently her voice gentle now that wongon had ascended to the throne she felt it necessary to reveal the truth to Hong in to avoid any misunderstandings what the sixth Prince is the sword King Hong and gasped in surprise her realization Dawning as she muttered to herself sword King Wong tion and the Myriad swords returning to their Source how did I not see it before she slapped her forehead feeling she grinned at her own oversight in a wonder you agreed to the marriage and grew so close to the sword King I worried for nothing all right I shall toast to you more later yuno teased her cheeks blushing slightly do no I plan to drink you under the table so you cannot consummate your marriage ponging laughed her voice ringing with joy oh stop it yuno flushed her shyness making her all the more enchanting soon a Cascade of multicolored clouds descended from the heavens and wongon gracefully alighted upon the seven colored auspicious clouds the vibrant Hues seemed like a divine blessing bestowed upon them amidst the crowd's Adoration yunio emerged from her chamber her face AOW with happiness her steps were light and graceful each movement resonating with the rhythm of bliss Shao I have come to escort

the previously clear sky suddenly began to drizzle chapter 170 the revelation of yuno's demonic Heritage without warning a fine Mist Of Rain began to fall from the sky delicate droplets cascading like a gossamer Veil from the clouds above the gentle rain seemed to carry a chilling Essence diffusing the earlier fervor of Celebration the atmosphere once filled with joy and anticipation was now shrouded in a subtle Gloom the festive emotions slightly dampened why has it suddenly started to rain yunio extended her Fair hand catching a few droplets that glistened like pearls in her Palm her beautiful face adorned with a hint of confusion as her brows furrowed slightly fear not I shall disperse this rain at once Wong tion would not allow this rain to Mar their wedding day with a swift gesture he summoned a powerful spell Conjuring winds to disperse the heavy clouds yet even as the clouds parted the rain continued to fall stubbornly cascading down this rain is suspicious wongon quickly discerned the typically rain descends from clouds and with the thick cover blown away it should have ceased yet the droplets persisted in their descent brother tion this rain is unbearable yunio complained attempting to ward off the rain with her spiritual energy only to find it penetrating her protective barrier chilling her skin the moment the rain touched her an icy and peculiar sensation enveloped her Wong tion gathered the rainwater in his palm scrutinizing it closely and soon recognized its composition position his expression grew grave a sense of forboding swelling within him as he spoke tendrils of black mist began to emerge from yuno's form the dark vapor seeped from her being exuding an aura of mystery and eeriness the dispersal of the black mist seemed to animate the rain drawing it towards yunio like moths to a flame the droplets as if under the influence of some mystical Force eagerly sought to merge with the dark Haze as the rain continued to fall upon her the black mist thickened enveloping her in a shroud that obscured her figure brother tion what is happening why is there so much black mist surrounding me Yun questioned her own confusion evident after a moment of observation she seemed to recognize the dark vapored it was the same Mist that manifested during each full moon yet today was not a full moon night a wave of panic surged within her this ailment had long been her deepest concern someone is orchestrating this wongon encased yunio in his Golden Dragon Aura attempting to mask the Dark Mist however he had underestimated the situation the Mist intensified by the purifying rain had already spread Beyond his control the onlookers below witnessed the unfolding scene murmuring in bewilderment what is happening why is the chileen maiden emitting such Dark Energy one exclaimed eyes wide with shock this black mist is strange it spread so rapidly another said instinctively stepping back in fear of contamination what is this Blackness it feels un settling others murmured Expressions filled with confusion and Dread as the crowd buzzed with speculation a thunderous voice rang out from the distant Sky shattering the chaos and confusion that had enveloped the scene the emperor's soon to be bride yunio is none other than a female demon of the Demonic Clan this voice Laden with boundless malice and mockery struck like a Thunderclap leaving all those gathered for the wedding and utter shock the daughter of the chilin is a demon surely not some shook their heads in disbelief unable to accept such an astonishing Revelation it is indeed possible look at her now dark energy is emanating from her perhaps that is the aura of the Demons someone pointed at yunio enveloped in the ominous Mist their voice trembling with fear why goodness if that is the case the daughter of the chilin is an enemy to all Humanity others gripped their weapons tightly their eyes filled with vigilence and hostility listening to the murmurs of the crowd Wong tion's expression grew increasingly greater him his gaze flickering with Sparks of Rage he recognized this voice All Too Well it belonged to shenin the Imperial teacher of the Great Moon Kingdom he never anticipated that after severing one of his arms Shen would not retreat but instead seek him out Shen you are cording death the chill of murderous intent flashed in Wong tion's eyes as palpable as ice capable of freezing all in its path however he had no time to deal with him now his immediate priority was to escort yuno back to the Palace yet when he attempted to teleport her away he discovered that she seemed to be locked in place immovable despite his greatest efforts what is happening xen I could not possibly possess such power Wong tion furrowed his brows sensing that the situation was spiraling Beyond his control beads of sweat began to form on his forehead his heart heavy with anxiety and unease brother tion I feel as though I cannot move there is a force within me trying to break free and I can hardly contain it yunio was on the verge of tears her beautiful face contorted with fear and pain her body was under the control of an inexplicable energy rendering her utterly helpless why is this happening Could This truly be demonic energy wongon recalled the stunning corpse of the demon Empress within the Imperial Tomb if this energy was indeed connected to her lineage he might face insurmountable challenges doubt and worry filled his heart yet he dared not jump to conclusions brother tion please help me suppress this energy Within it wants to escape yuno's eyes blazed Crimson with urgency feeling on the brink of losing control her voice trembled with tears infused with helplessness and despair don't not panic I am here and everything will be all right Wong tion felt the urgency as well directly channeling his dragon energy into yunio attempting to subdue the Demonic Aura with the power of a Celestial being his expression was serious and focused leaving no room for negligence yet the more he tried to suppress it the more ferocious the Demonic energy within yunio erupted it was as if a furious Beast had been stirred violently resisting won efforts after a few breaths the Demonic energy within yunio exploded forth yunio cried out in agony her voice resonating through the heavens filled with infinite suffering and despair the overwhelming demonic energy burst from her turning the surrounding Sky pitch black the dark energy billowed like Thick Smoke obscuring the Sun instilling in all who beheld it beneath her feet a colossal black demon Lotus emerged radiating an eerie glow its petals adorned with mysterious runes recognizing this black lotus those knowledgeable immediately identified it this is the demon Lotus a flower belonging solely to the Demonic Clan an elder trembled as he spoke his eyes briming with fear and astonishment there can be no mistake the daughter of the chilin is indeed of the demon Clan and furthermore she is a demonus some clenched their fists gritting their teeth in indignation I never imagined the demons could hide so deeply infiltrating the heart of the great Chen Dynasty we must eradicate her or the entire great Shen Dynasty will fall under her control someone shouted in righteous Fury raising their weapon High a faction of self-proclaimed justices Drew their weapons preparing to eliminate yunio their eyes were filled with murderous intent and determination as if yunio were the embodiment of the greatest evil with one leading the charge others swiftly unheeded their swords intent on vanquishing yunio their faces lit by the glow of the Dark Mist appeared particularly fearsome Awakening to her situation yuno's senses sharpened dramatically she could clearly hear the discussion surrounding her I am not a demon I am not a demon brother tion I am not a demon yunio was thoroughly panicked her tears flowing freely her voice filled with helplessness and despair faced with the overwhelming demonic energy IM from yunio wongon could no longer deny the reality yunio truly belonged to the demon Clan perhaps even The Reincarnation of the demon Empress but what of it she is his wife and no one shall harm her though not fear I am here and no one in this world dares to lay a finger on you Wong tion's gaze was Resolute as he grasped yuno's hand firmly even if it means going against the world I will protect you at all costs chapter 171 the emergence of the demon slaying artifact from a distant Shen having lost an arm and suin xan the Empress of the Great Moon Kingdom gazed upon Wang tion and Yun above the capital A the mountain Summit the wind howled causing their garments to flutter dramatically teacher your Insight is truly remarkable this yunio is indeed of the demon Clan and now Wong tion has become the target of everyone's ey a barely perceptible smile graced suene ex's icy countenance it was anticipated that yuno would be of the demon Clan but I never expected her demonic Aura to extend thousands of kilometers her innate demonic Talent is surprisingly High xenin furrowed his brow his expression graved a te the same time he instinctively touched the place where his right arm had been severed a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes the pain of that severed limb lingered in his mind deepening his hatred for Wong tion this time he had risked returning to the great Chen Dynasty to witness how won would be beset by the multitude his heart brimmed with anticipation yearning to see wongon and snared in a desperate predicament a means to avenge his lost arm however it seems that Wong tion is quite protective of this demon wife if he persists in standing against the world I fear no one will dare to confront him after all he has become an invincible Force suene exine gazed at yunio with a tinge of jealousy her tone laced with reluctance too her yunio was merely a demon woman yet she received such profound affection from wongon if that is the case I can only sacrifice myself to open the Heavenly gate allowing the Divine beings above to intervene as they would never tolerate such a formidable demon xenin appeared to have made a momentous decision his expression Resolute and unyielding his recent actions in revealing yun's true demonic nature had certainly crossed Wong tion's threshold even if he were to return alive he would be pursued by won thus today he must eliminate wongon lest he perish alongside the Great Moon Moon Kingdom sacrificing myself to open the Heavenly gate teacher there is no need to go to such extremes Eugene ex's voice trembled slightly her expression grave the Great Moon Kingdom has already lost over a 100,000 troops should we lose you now it would spell Doom for us her beautiful Visage was etched with worry and fear as she envisioned the fate of the Great Moon Kingdom without him if I do not do this I will not survive xenin sighed his eyes filled with helplessness and despair he understood the gravity of his actions and Wong tion's character this incident would not be resolved easily B why exposing his wife's demonic identity he had undoubtedly touched upon Wong tion's greatest vulnerability after this matter he would surely pursue him with Relentless Fury xen yin's voice was heavy and somber as if recounting an inescapable fate therefore I must seize this

Divine sword forged from the nine materials you provided a true artifact in a one beneath the Divine can withstand its Edge Wong tion I advise you to withdraw this female demon is not worth your life xishu implored her eyes reflecting a hint of reluctance and sorrow Wong tion stood momentarily speechless realizing that the nine materials he had collected were intended to slay his own wife yunio this was an ironic twist of fate a bitter smile and sense of helplessness crept across his face however regardless of the circumstances even in death I shall protect you in sh ancestor if you wish to slay yunio you must first step over my corpse with a mere thought Wong tion summoned all his swords their blades glinting with a chilling Radiance encircling him yet as he did so the zosin word in the hands of the old Master xiw Sword directly into his grasp as if it had long acknowledged him as its rightful Master this dramatic turn of events left the audience in stun silence chapter 173 the opening of The Heavenly gate the zosin word unexpectedly flew into Wong tion's hand a sudden occurrence that rendered everyone present utterly dumbfounded including Wong tion himself what is happening how did this zimo Shin word come to be in my possession Wong tion's eyes widened as he gazed at the sword momentarily at a loss for words however the familiar sensation emanating from the blade led him to feel as though it had always belonged to him surprised and bewildered my dear boy we meet again a voice ethereal and melodious suddenly surged within Wong Tonk mind crisp and enchanting yet imbued with an air of mystery you you are the sword Spirit from the 18th level of the sword Pavilion Wong tion recalled something his eyes brimming with astonishment and confusion indeed at that time I lacked a physical form hence I was formless now I have taken on a corporeal presence the sword Spirit playfully responded her voice resonating with joy I see but why have you chosen me Wong tion queried perplexed the zimo Shin word was forged by the old Master xishu naturally recognizing her as its Master yet the sword Spirit seemed to have chosen him instead leaving him thoroughly bewildered Dio you remember when I wounded you with my sword energy back in the 18th level of the sword Pavilion the sword Spirit communicated through thought her voice gently reverberating in Wong Tonk mind I remember I bled and you left me with quite a shadow Wong tion similarly responded through thought recalling that harrowing experience with lingering trepidation I absorbed your blood willingly the bond we formed through your blood establishes you as my master the sword Spirit earnestly explained to Wong tion her tone imbued with patience what establishing a bond Through Blood Wong tion was momentarily dumbfounded he never anticipated that the Shadows he experienced then were the foundation of a bond this Revelation left him profoundly astonished indeed it was through blood that the bond was established initially I sought to borrow you from The Sword Pavilion but unexpectedly xisha helped Forge a physical body for me and brought me forth the sword's spirit narrated joyfully her voice brimming with excitement and Delight having been trapped in the sword Pavilion for over 8,000 years she felt utterly stifled and bored now that she was free she intended to indulge in some enjoyment

worked hard Wong tion gently caressed the zosin word unable to part with it this was his first Divine weapon the sword gleamed with an enigmatic Radiance seemingly harboring boundless power witnessing this scene xisha was not only astonished but also seething with rage her complexion turned Ashen her beautiful eyes Ablaze with furious flames why would the Zumo Shin word choose him as its Master it was forged by me xiu's countenance was icy her expression in tinged with jealousy and anger she never anticipated that the Divine sword she had painstakingly crafted would acknowledge wongon as its Master others present were equally taken aback by this spectacle mouth agape and eyes filled with disbelief particularly shien and Sujin xan they had initially believed that with the Zumo Shin word in play Wong tion was doomed yet now the Divine weapon had flown into his hands making it all the more challenging to eliminate him how could this Divine weapon have come into Wong tion's possession xenin could hardly accept this outcome his body trembling slightly his face as pale as a sheet Wang tion was already an invincible force and now with the zimo shin word at his side the prospect of Killing Him seemed increasingly daunting xenin felt a profound sense of Despair his heart filled with fear and reluctance teacher that Divine sword seems to have acknowledged Wong tion as its Master what shall we do now suene ex was now utterly panicked a glimmer of hope had vanished entirely her voice quivered her beautiful face etched with Terror and despair moreover their Great Moon Kingdom felt perilously close to Annihilation it appeared they could only sacrifice themselves to summon Celestial beings from the upper realm to eliminate wangon xian's expression grew grave his gaze flickering with determination as if he had made a Resolute decision his voice was deep and heavy as if articulating A desperate resolve Wong tion wielding the zosin word turned his gaze toward yua ancestor do you still wish to test your luck wongon pointed the zosin word toward jishua and the Elders of shushan his voice laced with provocation and Authority jisha's expression darkened she had hoped to slay the female demon yunio with the aid of the zosin word but now all chances were lost her countenance was somber filled with resentment and helplessness your majesty how could we ever wish to harm the empress we have come to offer our congratulations on your wedding the sect Master wayen seeing jishua silent quickly stepped forward after wiping the sweat from his brow his face was adorned with a broad smile attempting to alleviate the tense atmosphere congratulations on your wedding this is our gift to you other Elders followed suit expressing their congratulations and presenting wedding gifts their voices repat with flattery and obsequiousness if they did not flatter him they would surely face death here how amusing moments ago they had come in a fierce manner to slay yunio and in the blink of an eye they transformed into celebrants for his wedding even addressing yunio is the empress only xiu remained cold standing firm in her place her expression remained frigid her anger unresolved thank you everyone after my wedding I shall earnestly support your Shuan after receiving the gifts wongon painted a Grand Vision for them his face radiated with a smile as if everything were under his command wayen and the others rejoiced at this Prospect with the Heavenly Dragon Gat suffering heavy losses should he choose to extend his support sh Shan would Ascend to become the foremost sect in the tition Shen continent their eyes sparkled with excitement as though they could already Envision a glorious future for shushan thank you your majesty the empress is inherently beautiful and she is a perfect match for your majesty even if she belongs to the demon race she is deserving of the title of empress Wayan hastily flattered him his face brimming with a sycophantic smile indeed your majesty and the empress are a match made in heaven should anyone dare to oppose shushan shall be the first to object the other Elders echoed in agreement their demeanor a stark contrast to their previous hostility their stance had undergone a complete reversal for the sake of their interests they unhesitatingly changed their allegiance truly in the face of overwhelming power so-called convictions can be swiftly altered jishua felt somewhat humiliated but could only snort coldly before turning to leave secretly relieved I in truth she had no desire to confront Wong tion directly perhaps this outcome was for the best very well let us continue with the wedding sect Master we since you are here do stay for a cup of celebratory wine wongon invited warmly certainly certainly thank you your majesty Wayan beamed feeling honored to be so close to the current Emperor however at that moment the clouds in the sky began to swirl violently forming a massive Vortex with thunder and lightning crackling at its Center revealing a spatial Rift connecting to the mysterious upper realm what how did the Heavenly Gates suddenly open Wayan exclaimed in horror and shock chapter 174 brother greetings Shen had hoped that the zosin word could slay wongon but upon witnessing the sword's allegiance to Wang tion he understood that no one in the tonen continent could kill him teacher that Divine sword seems to have recognized him as its Master we should flee before he comes for us the empress suene exine appeared utterly despondent and terrified her voice trembled her beautiful face contorted with fear her eyes filled with helplessness and panic flee where can we run to we have offended wongon he will not let us go even if we hide in the far north escape from Death will be nearly impossible and moreover the Great Moon Kingdom will inevitably be swallowed up a glimmer of resolution crossed xien yin's eyes as he seemed prepared for sacrifice his gaze was steadfast and cold as if he had already envisioned his fate yet he showed no signs of retreat now we have only one One path left which is to summon Celestial beings from the Heavens to deal with him as long as he is dead our great Moon Kingdom can be saved Shin yin's voice was deep and heavy as if voicing a final hope however to summon Celestial beings from the heavens you suene exan dared not finish her sentence but the implication was clear her eyes were filled with worry and reluctance aware that summoning Celestial beings would entail a tremendous cost for shenin if I must perish I shall drag wongon down with me at least that would make my death worthwhile moreover if he dies our great Moon Kingdom can be preserved shenin having made up his mind raised his only hand biting his finger to draw blood inscribing a rune upon his forehead and beginning to chant Heaven above a Peerless female demon has emerged from the shenon continent I beseech the celestial beings to descend and eradicate this demon Shen yin's voice echoed through the air resonating with determination and fearlessness upon uttering these words Shen en entire being was suddenly engulfed in flames and the rich spiritual energy was rapidly depleting using spiritual power as fuel and his body is kindling he sacrificially sought The Descent of celestial beings to Vanquish evil Thunder rumbled a bolt of purple Divine lightning descended abruptly upon the capital followed by the emergence of a spatial Rift in the sky the purple Divine lightning seemed intent on tearing the heavens apart its tremendous sound resonating in The Souls of all present the spatial Rift expanded forming a Vortex that opened a passageway to the upper realm this swirling Vortex resembled a colossal black hole emanating a mysterious and terrifying Aura this Monumental change instantly captured the attention of countless onlookers what is happening why has a spatial Rift suddenly appeared in the sky the gazes of the crowd were fixated upon the immense Rift their expressions filled with astonishment and Dread Wong tion also turned his gaze upward and upon seeing the rift an ominous pre stirred within him this is bad someone has sacrificed themselves to open the passage to the upper realm wayen was the first to react his expression swiftly turning grave his voice was laced with tension and concern opening a passage to the upper realm are they summoning Celestial beings to deal with me wongon long senses extended outward instantly perceiving the presence of shen and Su jinen I flash he appeared before them shinin you old fool are you still not giving up wongan gaze was sharp as he stared at shenin who was now a blaze his form becoming increasingly ethereal as if he could vanish from this world at any moment haha even in death I will drag you down with me and your wife that witch will undoubtedly meet her demise as well xenin laughed maniacally his voice brimming with hatred and Madness seeking death Wong tion thrust his palm towards him and at once nine Golden Dragon energies surged forth carrying immense power and Majesty as as if they intended to obliterate everything in their path however they did not strike him instead they passed through his insubstantial form how could I have missed wongon furrowed his brow in confusion a flicker of surprise and doubt Crossing his eyes wongon I am currently in a state of sacrificial void no one can interrupt me once I have burned everything away My Sacrifice will end and you shall obediently die with me haha Shen laughed maniacally his voice echoing through the air filled with pride and Madness a state of void very well let me show you how I will slay the gods Wong tion gripped the demon slaying Divine sword tightly an imposing Aura erupting from him prepared to engage in a fierce battle with the celestial being his gaze was Resolute and fearless as if ready to confront any challenge that lay ahead Wong ton s fighting Spirit was intense however the others trembled in fear after all a Celestial being from the upper realm could effortlessly take their lives yet no one dared to leave they all wished to witness what the celestial being would look like their hearts were filled with curiosity and Terror yet they could not resist the overwhelming Temptation Thunder rumbled once more another bolt of purple Divine lightning struck down from the spatial Rift its might shaking the heavens as if it aimed to shatter the sky itself the deafening Roar of the Thunder sent chills down their spines the spatial Rift widened and Powerful energy spilled forth from the vortex cold sweat dripped from everyone es brow and yunio felt a surge of anxiety yet she had already made up her mind if the celestial being sought to eliminate her she would unhesitatingly sacrifice herself yunio did not wish to implicate Wang tion although his strength had reached the Pinnacle of the celestial Immortal Realm and he wielded the demon slaying Divine sword the opponent was still a Celestial being should won falter she would resolutely choose to sacrifice herself in this way the celestial being would have no reason to Target w ton the air around them seemed to freeze and after another bolt of purple Divine lightning descended an unprecedentedly powerful Aura wafted forth from the spatial Vortex it has come Wong tion gripped his Divine sword tightly feeling his blood boil the time to slay the gods and attain Enlightenment was upon him his heart raced breaths quickened and every cell in his body was filled with a burning desire for battle shenin upon sensing the celestial being s emergence from The Vortex was elated with a celestial being descending his sacrifice had not been in vain Wong tion you are doomed I will ensure your death precedes mine haha xen laughed maniacally knowing that to maintain the existence of the spatial Rift his spiritual energy would continue to blaze however with his current strength he could only sustain it for 2 hours at most this meant that after 2 hours the spatial Rift would likely close and shien would perish keep your eyes wide open and witness how I slay the gods today Wong tion swiftly ascended towards the heavens with the demon slaying Divine sword in hand should the celestial being dare to act he would retaliate without hesitation his figure darted upward like a bolt of lightning and all eyes were drawn to the celestial being emerging from the spatial Rift As Time passed the silhouette from the rift grew increasingly distinct soon appearing before all the celestial being clad in a flowing white gown possessed an Exquisite figure and stunning Beauty yet her expression was frigid resembling a celestial Maiden descending from the heavens gracefully making her way towards wongon her formidable Aura enveloping the realm this presence was powerful and Majestic rendering resistance feudal shenin sensing the overwhelming Aura of the celestial being was overjoyed this goddess's presence far surpassed that of ordinary Celestial beings Wong tion was undoubtedly doomed shenin felt that this sacrifice was worth it while Sujin Sheen beside him also sensed the terrifying Aura of the Goddess her eyes filled with anti IP ation Wong tion recognizing the goddess's terrifying nature initially considered slaying the gods but upon witnessing the true Celestial being he found himself rendered immobile I as this what a Celestial being is such a formidable presence and even in my strongest State I cannot move an inch Wang tion swallowed hard realizing he had spoken too loudly his heart brimmed with shock as he acknowledged the unimaginable power he faced yunio also observed the goddess approaching wongon her heart racing with anxiety I am the demon Clan come for me if you wish to kill or maim yunio shouted desperately attempting to divert the goddess's attention however the goddess continued her approach seemingly fixated on Wong tion drawing closer with each step if their s an issue come for me Wong tion bellowed unleashing the full force of his dragon energy the Golden Dragon Spirit surged forth roaring to display its might yet as soon as the Golden Dragon Spirit emerged it was frozen mid D motionless wongon Ora was completely suppressed by the goddess before him rendering him as insignificant as an ant in her presence wongon swallowed hard he was now acutely aware of the goddess's terrifying power soon the goddess stood before wongon yet she did not strike him down instead she scrutinized him from head to toe brother how do you do the goddess suddenly spoke chapter 175 the grand finale staring at the breathtaking goddess before him wongon felt somewhat dazed her beauty was beyond imagination each detail seemingly crafted by Divine hands however at this moment wongon had no mind to admire her unparalleled Visage his heart was Rife with confusion and caution the goddess addressed him as brother her affectionate tone feeling strikingly genuine yet Wong tion did not take it to heart to him it felt more like mockery if you wish to kill or maim do as you please but spare my wife she is with child wongan voice carried a sense of resignation and determination he was acutely aware of the terrifying strength of the Goddess before him even with all his might he remained immobile and the Golden Dragon Spirit was firmly restrained in place Wong tion realized he had been overly confident believing he could face any challenge with his strength but this situation made him understand that there was always a higher Mountain forcing him to choose to submit your sister-in-law is pregnant the goddess's beautiful eyes brightened a glimmer of surprise flashing through her luminous gaze instantly the suffocating Aura surrounding her dissipated as if the overwhelming pressure had never existed who is your sister-in-law Wang tion felt a mix of anger and helplessness unable to fight back he could only struggle verbally his voice bore a hint of defiance yet his heart was filled with trepidation she yunio the goddess pointed toward yunio and in the next instant like a flash she appeared beside yunio her speed was so Swift that it was nearly imperceptible don't not harm her if there is an issue come for me wongon panicked his voice thick with urgency and concern fearing even the slightest harm might befall yunio yet he was clearly overthinking it the goddess had no intention of harming yunio instead she produced an array of gifts from her person these gifts radiated a dazzling light each one a top tier artifact treasure or Elixir their Brilliance far surpassed that of the demon slay Divine sword in Wong tion's hand and the potent Aura left everyone present in all these Treasures even in the upper realm would cause all Celestial beings to V for them yet this goddess produced them as if they were worthless almost forgot my father God sent me to present you with wedding gifts and since your

boundless vitality and power this Exquisite Elixir can cleanse the marrow and refine the essence of a child while still in the womb bestowing upon them a more formidable innate Talent upon birth the
