Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye
Within the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon!
The most powerful Sword of the Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King, imbued with the Thunder Qi from his Six-Qi True Method and almost all the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea, slashed down.
The wind broke through, carrying a mournful sound, mixed with the Dragon Roar Technique Chen Lingxi had reached Mystic Realm.
Where the sword flashed, the world suddenly changed color!
The sword light was initially just a pale golden arc, but in an instant it spread across the sky, as if it had transformed into a thunderous waterfall that swept across the heavens, crashing down on the Eastern King atop Flowing Cloud Mountain.
The thunderous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, as if hundreds of thunderclaps had exploded at the same time.
The shockwave caused the snow on Flowing Cloud Mountain to tumble down, and also caused the sea of clouds at the mountainside to surge and churn.
Earth-shattering!
Chen Lingxi's eyes were calm, devoid of sorrow, joy, or even the slightest fear.
In the far distance, Xiao Changlü turned his head and looked at Chen Lingxi.
What exactly is going on with Chen Lingxi?
I just went to great lengths to Mystic Entry Blood Essence.
Now look what's happened, they're actually going to their deaths!
At that very moment, the Eastern King, who had always stood with his hands behind his back, cast a disdainful glance, and then...
He unleashed a powerful punch!
He stood atop Flowing Cloud Mountain, facing the earth-shattering Thunderclap Sword Light and the terrifying sword energy that resembled a waterfall, yet he neither dodged nor evaded.
He simply raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and then...
A punch was thrown!
Rumble!
When the Eastern King threw a punch, it was like a whirlwind crashing down from the sky, then transforming into a fist-shaped aura!
The fist's energy pierced through the air, shattering the surrounding air into nothingness, transforming into a visible white light that spread outwards in layers.
Where the terrifying Qi and Blood flowed, it was as if mountains were indeed collapsing, making a deafening roar.
This punch collided with Chen Lingxi's Thunderclap Sword Light.
Chen Lingxi with inexplicable excitement.
"Nine Profound Realm expert is indeed incredibly powerful!"
The unstoppable Thunderclap Sword Light in his hand was like a piece of crystal jade being struck by a heavy hammer!
It shattered with a deafening roar!
Then it transformed into a sky full of pale golden light, which scattered and fell into the air.
That punch was terrifying.
It shattered the Thunderclap Sword Light directly, but its momentum remained undiminished, and it attacked Chen Lingxi directly.
An immense pressure descended upon him like an invisible giant wave.
Chen Lingxi felt a sudden stagnation of Qi and Blood throughout her body.
The vital Qi and Blood deep within their bones, like the Nine-Revolution Golden Crystal, groaned under the immense pressure.
The terrifying surge of Qi and Blood, like a tidal wave, completely engulfed him, then swept up Chen Lingxi, and together with the Longevity Bridge, they plummeted to the earth.
Boom!
A deafening roar!
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
Total Perception shattering!
Chen Lingxi returned to her Divine Chamber with her consciousness cleansed, still sensing the almost tangible Qi and Blood of the Xuan Eastern King she had just Mystic Entry Realm, which was filled with unimaginable profound power.
"This martial arts figure at the Nine Profound Realm is actually so powerful."
No wonder he was able to kill the cultivators of the Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm.
Inside the Divine Chamber, clouds and mist surged, emanating an incomparably mysterious aura.
"It seems that unless I advance to the Tenth-Floor Realm, I will not be able to defeat this Mystic Entry Realm Eastern King."
As Chen Lingxi pondered, he heard many mysterious sounds again.
"Stealing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and drawing inspiration from the past and present."
Chen Lingxi's mind stirred slightly.
The Mystic Entry Blood Essence immediately returned to the mortal world along with him!
At this very moment.
Chen Lingxi was sitting cross-legged in the East Warm Pavilion in the backyard of the Benevolence Hall.
The night outside the window was already deep, and the old locust trees in the garden rustled quietly in the night breeze.
Chen Lingxi extended her hand, and there were two items in her hand.
An imperial edict, and a drop of Essence Blood.
At this moment, this drop of Essence Blood Essence Blood hovered a few inches above his palm, enveloped by a layer of gentle spiritual energy, making Essence Blood appear like a star sealed in amber.
The Essence Blood was extremely small, yet it was crystal clear, and inside it seemed to contain a volcano about to erupt.
The volcano spewed forth intense heat, emanating a scorching pressure.
"Let's give it a try. If we can Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye, that would be the best outcome."
Chen Lingxi held the imperial edict in one hand, while the Essence Blood on the other hand shimmered with light.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into his Divine Chamber.
The line of golden tadpole-shaped characters slowly appeared before his eyes.
[Divine Ability: Sight-Roaming]
[One: Chen Lingxi]
[2: Lin Suri]
[Three: Not yet bound]
Without hesitation, his consciousness fell directly on the blank third line!
Chen Lingxi, seemingly blessed by heaven, suddenly spoke in the Divine Chamber—
"Those who Sight-Roaming first observe the travels of others, thereby embracing the true nature of Heaven and Earth, and mastering the distinctions of the six qi, to travel to the boundless realm!"
The drop of Essence Blood in his hand shimmered with light, and drops of light flowed across the imperial edict!
Chen Lingxi spoke softly...
"Ying Xian!"
Cause and effect form the bridge, Essence Blood serve as the guide, Sight-Roaming of emperors!
In the Void the Divine Chamber, the line of tadpole-shaped characters that had been blank suddenly lit up.
An indescribable, ancient aura emanated from the Void at that moment.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Divine Chamber was enveloped in a faint, almost imperceptible golden light.
Chen Lingxi seemed to sense something as well.
He felt his consciousness being swept and pulled by an unimaginable force.
Then it flew out of that Divine Chamber.
In an instant, the world turned upside down, and light and shadow became chaotic.
His perspective soared over the walls of the Benevolence Hall, across the many long streets of Far River Prefecture, over the rows of Ancient Ridge Depression Rock, across the long Yuan River Prefecture, and straight towards the Capital.
That's too fast.
From this perspective, the mountains and rivers appear like a wildly rolling scroll painting.
Chen Lingxi flew into the capital, then passed through those magnificent palaces and halls, and finally...
It fell into the depths of the palace.
There, too, is a palace.
Those palaces were extremely magnificent, with high-hanging domes that shone with golden light, and the ground was paved with white jade bricks that were so shiny they could reflect a person's image.
Huge brocade curtains, embroidered with dragon and cloud patterns, hung on the four walls, their luxury beyond imagination.
But Chen Lingxi had no time to appreciate these magnificent buildings at the moment.
He simply saw many tables.
What came into his view were dozens of huge rosewood tables!
They were arranged neatly in the very center of the palace, their shadows flickering in the candlelight.
"What... are these things...?"
Upon realizing this, Chen Lingxi instinctively tried to hold her breath.
The only reason was that everything on the table was mangled limbs!
Human limbs!
Arms, legs, torso, head... everything is included.
However, these severed limbs were not mangled and bloody; on the contrary, they were remarkably clean.
The break was smooth, as if it had been cut off with a sharp blade.
In some of the remaining limbs, the skin membranes were carefully peeled away, revealing the clearly defined muscles and bones underneath.
The blood vessels seemed to be sealed off by some strange force; the blood within never dried up, yet it never flowed out.
The candlelight in the magnificent palace fell on these severed limbs, casting a cold, eerie glow.
This scene of devastation only served to highlight how terrifying it all was.
But these things were not enough to make Chen Lingxi so alarmed.
What horrified him most were the small words on the severed limbs.
--These numerous severed limbs are covered with densely packed small markings.
Chen Lingxi zoomed in, scanning the dense text.
The first thing he saw was an arm, with firm muscles, slightly bent fingers, intact nails, and a jade bracelet still attached to the wrist.
A faint shimmering light emanated from the jade bracelet, its Spiritual Qi not yet completely dissipated.
But then I saw small writing on the arm:
"Luo Shuang, a cultivator from Land of Nothingness the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, was captured in Guanzhong at the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor. He cultivates the Fire-Dispersing Separation Qi Scripture and wields the Fire-Dispersing Divine Ability."
Chen Lingxi then looked at a torso, its chest split open to reveal the heart inside.
Golden light flowed over the heart, and it was still beating.
"Zhuo Fengxiu, a cultivator from the Southern Heaven Domain Great Xuanzhuo Realm, at the Qi Circulation Fifth Floor, obtained the corpse in Chen Pond, and began cultivating the Xuanming Dao Formula and the Purple Radiance Golden Wheel Divine Ability."
Then another head appeared, with gray hair and a face like withered tree bark.
Even on this bark-like skin, small characters are still engraved.
"Feng Yuan, a member of the Feng Family family from the North-Deficiency Pass Great Xuanzhuo Realm, at the Qi Circulation Tenth Floor, presented by the Eastern King."
Chen Lingxi's thoughts flickered.
"Is this the cultivator from the Tenth Level of Heavenward Realm who was killed by the Eastern King?"
Even an extraordinary figure at the Qi Circulation Tenth Floor had his head severed and displayed on this long table, like a piece of merchandise for inspection.
Chen Lingxi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Numerous words exploded in his mind like thunderclaps.
Southern Heaven Domain, Land of Nothingness, North-Deficiency Pass, Calamity Sea...
Countless names of Great World came into his view.
The vast majority of these cultivators were at the middle level three, but there were also some at the Upper Three Floors, and even some at the Heavenward Third Floor.
Who they were in life, regardless of the illustrious sect they came from, or the powerful supernatural Divine Ability they once wielded.
At this moment, all that remains are incomplete shells, placed on this long sandalwood table!
Chen Lingxi's thoughts were racing, but she managed to calm herself down.
When Emperor Daye's perspective shifts again, it falls on the shadows at the end of the long street, where the candlelight cannot reach.
Chen Lingxi was surprised again.
He saw a woman.
The woman's body was not dismembered; it was still intact.
This person was dressed in a plain white dress and had an extremely aloof appearance, like a jade figure sculpted from millennia-old ice.
Her face was beautiful and exquisitely beautiful.
Yet, even on such a delicate face, there was not a trace of color.
Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she were asleep.
But deep between her brows was a faint crack that stretched into the Void.
A faint spiritual light was slowly circulating within the cracks.
She's not dead yet.
Chen Lingxi could see it clearly, but there was still spiritual energy circulating in the woman's body.
However, the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi were extremely chaotic and weak, like a candle flickering in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.
Even so, the sheer level of that spiritual energy still sent a shiver down Chen Lingxi's spine.
What surprised Chen Lingxi even more was...
"This Spiritual Qi fluctuation is remarkably similar to that of Rong Chun in the Ancestral Mountain, only much deeper and more concentrated."
If Rong Chun's spiritual energy was merely a stream, then this woman's Spiritual Qi was like a mighty river, incredibly profound!
"Not only Rong Chun, but also those three women from the Heavenly Boat."
Chen Lingxi couldn't help but think to herself.
"Who exactly is this woman?"
At this moment, the woman was bound by many chains, as thick as a child's arm, entirely black, and covered with countless intricate and bizarre runes.
The runes were not static, but rather constantly flowing across the chains.
With each shift, an indescribable, mysterious ripple slowly spread from the chains, surging towards the woman's body.
Wherever the ripples passed, the woman's body would tremble, and the crack between her brows would deepen.
Where exactly is this place?
Chen Lingxi's perspective shifted along with that of Emperor Daye.
The severed limbs, the words, the woman, the chains—everything stirred up a storm within him.
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
The perspective shifts, changing to a third-person view.
He saw a rosewood dragon throne on a high platform deep within the palace, its surface flickering with candlelight.
A person was sitting on the dragon throne...
The man wore a tall crown and had a hunched back. His bright yellow dragon robe looked like it was hanging on a skeleton, empty and flimsy.
He possessed absolutely no imperial majesty whatsoever.
Chen Lingxi looked at it carefully.
The man's face was covered with wrinkles, deep as ravines, layer upon layer.
His hair was dry and gray, sparsely plastered to his scalp, like withered grass after being hit by frost in autumn.
This person is already old and frail.
But he is...
Emperor Daye!
That emperor who ruled the Great Li land for decades, whose word determined the life and death of all people!
That tyrant who, with the mountains and rivers as witnesses, drove millions of laborers to dig canals and buried thirty million innocent souls in the yellow earth.
"Emperor Daye should not be so old."
Chen Lingxi looked at the old man, who resembled a rotten piece of wood, an ancient well, and a flickering lamp, and was greatly puzzled.
Then...
Chen Lingxi then saw the eyes of the Emperor Daye again.
Within those cloudy, nearly blind old eyes, two golden flames flickered slowly.
The flames flickered, within which unimaginable, mysterious runes leaped and flashed.
At the same time, Chen Lingxi deeply sensed an ancient aura emanating from Emperor Daye's eyes.
"This ancient aura... could it be another Cauldron Artifact Fragment?"
Chen Lingxi became suspicious.
At this moment, Emperor Daye slowly raised his head, stood up by supporting himself on the armrest of his wheelchair, and walked down the high platform step by step.
He walked very slowly, like an old man nearing his end, until he reached the woman.
The next instant.
The golden flames in Emperor Daye's eyes suddenly blazed brightly, bursting forth and turning the entire palace into a dazzling golden expanse.
At the same time, an unimaginable aura suddenly erupted from Emperor Daye.
That was by no means spiritual energy; on the contrary, it was far more ancient, more mysterious, and far more unfathomable.
That power was formless and intangible, yet it seemed to be filled with profound mysteries.
Then Chen Lingxi witnessed an astonishing scene.
He saw Emperor Daye whispering:
"This time, to whom should I give your memories?"
