A Purple Sun Descends upon the Great Thousand World, Nine Suns Incinerate the World and Refine All Evils!

"Phew~ I finally recovered a strand of spiritual energy."

Qing Yanjing sat cross-legged on the bed, joy gleaming in her beautiful eyes. Her crimson lips parted beneath her veil as she let out a long breath of stale air, her ample bosom rising and falling in turbulent waves.

Though it was only a strand of spiritual energy, it was enough for her to open her Spatial Sacred Artifact.

Immediately, Qing Yanjing mobilized the spiritual energy she had just condensed. A ripple of space spread out, and a nine-tiered golden tower appeared in her palm.

The tower was engraved with ancient Buddha patterns and radiated a gilded spiritual glow. The instant it appeared, the surrounding space seemed to stiffen slightly.

In the Great Thousand World, artifacts were divided into spiritual artifacts, divine artifacts, sacred artifacts, and supreme sacred artifacts.

Spiritual artifacts and divine artifacts were classified as low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, supreme-grade, and quasi-divine artifacts—or quasi-sacred artifacts.

Sacred artifacts, meanwhile, were divided into low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and quasi-supreme sacred artifacts.

Supreme sacred artifacts were divided into Spiritual Grade, Immortal Grade, and Saint Grade.

Qing Yanjing's Spatial Sacred Artifact was called the "Small Pagoda." It was a high-tier sacred artifact modeled after the ancestral tower of the Buddha Ancient Clan.

Spatial storage was merely its most insignificant function.

Qing Yanjing raised a jade-like finger and lightly tapped the Small Pagoda, pouring that strand of spiritual energy into it. Its storage space immediately opened.

Rather than retrieving cultivation resources in a hurry, she searched for a while before six rather ancient scrolls appeared in her hands.

The moment she took out the cultivation techniques of the ancient Battle Emperors, Qing Yanjing's spiritual energy was exhausted. The Small Pagoda turned into a streak of light and returned to her body.

Looking at the six Ancient Emperor Techniques, Qing Yanjing's lips curved into a faint smile.

"With these techniques, I can at least compensate Meng Chen a little."

Holding the techniques, she rose to her feet and walked out of the bedroom.

In the main room, Meng Chen saw Qing Yanjing emerge. His gaze fell upon the many scrolls piled before her bosom, and surprise appeared on his face.

"Senior Qing, these are?"

"These are the cultivation techniques of those ancient Battle Emperors. There are six in total, all carefully selected for me by my father. Take them and cultivate with them."

Qing Yanjing placed the six Ancient Emperor Techniques before Meng Chen and introduced them gently.

Meng Chen was even more astonished upon hearing that.

Ancient Emperor Techniques personally selected by the clan head of the Buddha Ancient Clan were surely extraordinary, far beyond ordinary Battle Emperor techniques.

Meng Chen clasped his hands toward Qing Yanjing. "Thank you, Senior Qing, for granting me these techniques!"

"There is no need for such formality between us. These six Ancient Emperor Techniques are all yours. If they do not suit the current cultivation environment of the Dou Qi Continent, then once I recover a little more spiritual energy, I will rob... find a suitable technique for you."

Qing Yanjing had wanted to say she would rob one, but realizing that sounded too crude, she immediately changed her words.

Then she added, "Also, you do not need to call me Senior Qing. I am quite a few years older than you, so you may call me Aunt Qing."

Under the transformation of his Divine King Physique's origin, Meng Chen had become somewhat younger and looked only sixteen or seventeen. Qing Yanjing naturally regarded herself as one of his elders.

"Mm-hm, Aunt Qing!" Meng Chen nodded with a smile.

Afterward, he looked at the six Ancient Emperor Techniques and picked up the scroll on the far right first.

The scroll was dark red, carrying traces of bloodlust and viciousness. Even after tens of thousands of years, it still retained the soul will of that ancient emperor.

Qing Yanjing explained from the side, "This technique came from a Battle Emperor named the Blood River Emperor. It is called the Blood River Demonic Art, and it is said that as long as the blood river does not run dry, the emperor will not die."

"Though it is called a demonic art, it has nothing to do with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. However, this technique is exceedingly vicious and is divided into a mother scroll and a child scroll."

"According to the historical records I know, that Blood River Emperor once used the child scroll to control countless evil clansmen, refining them into Blood River Sons and causing considerable trouble for the Extraterritorial Evil Clan."

"Unfortunately, he eventually drew the attention of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor and died while being pursued by him."

Meng Chen opened the dark-red scroll and looked through it before shaking his head. "Although this Blood River Demonic Art is strange and exquisite, it does not suit me."

His Divine King Physique was a body of supreme sanctity and purity. Cultivating such a demonic art would only be counterproductive.

Meng Chen picked up another blue-black scroll. Qing Yanjing said, "This technique is called the Azure Abyss Heaven-Devouring Record. It was left behind by a divine beast who was also a Battle Emperor. Its true form was a Heaven-Devouring Kun, skilled in devouring and the path of water."

"Devouring and water..." Meng Chen pondered for a while, set down the Heaven-Devouring Emperor's scroll, and turned to the other Ancient Emperor scrolls.

"This is the Sword Supreme Emperor's Nine Extremes Sword Scripture. The Sword Supreme Emperor once entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield alone with nothing but his sword, going in and out nine times. He even slew the Profound Demon Emperor, who was comparable to an Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign..."

Qing Yanjing pointed to an Ancient Emperor Technique wrapped in strands of nine-colored sword qi. The sword qi was razor-sharp and had not dissipated even after tens of thousands of years.

The other three scrolls were the True Martial Emperor's True Martial Demon-Suppressing Scripture, the Purple Sun Emperor's Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique, and the Tuo She Emperor's Emperor Flame Art.

"The Tuo She Emperor?"

Meng Chen looked at the crimson scroll, surprise appearing on his face. He had not expected Tuo She Ancient Emperor's technique to be among them.

But Emperor Flame Art? Could it be the Flame Mantra under a different name?

Facing the six great Ancient Emperor scrolls, Meng Chen found himself in a dilemma, unsure which one to choose.

Aside from the somewhat sinister Blood River Demonic Art, the other five Ancient Emperor Techniques were all decent. The Emperor Flame Art, which was likely the Flame Mantra, especially fit the mainstream direction of the Battle Through the Heavens storyline.

"Aunt Qing, may I look through them a little longer?"

Qing Yanjing nodded slightly. "Of course. All these Battle Emperor techniques have been given to you. You may read them for as long as you wish."

"Thank you, Aunt Qing!"

Meng Chen was overjoyed. He immediately gathered up the scrolls and returned to his bedroom.

Qing Yanjing watched Meng Chen's excited retreating figure. After smiling faintly, she too turned and returned to her bedroom.

After repeated consideration, Meng Chen did not choose Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Emperor Flame Art. Instead, he chose to cultivate the Purple Sun Emperor's Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique.

This was because he discovered that the Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique and the Emperor Flame Art had similarities. Both could absorb multiple Heavenly Flames, so they should both have been adapted from the Flame Mantra.

The Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique refined flames into yang. Nine was the ultimate number; upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one's body could transform into nine suns. As the nine suns revolved, they would refine heaven and incinerate worlds!

There was another reason Meng Chen chose the Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique.

Its creator, the Purple Sun Emperor, had once fought two Profound Demon Emperors and five Nether Demon Emperors alone when he was an Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign. This showed just how formidable this technique was.

Meng Chen spread open the Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique.

Just as he was about to study it carefully, the tiny words on the scroll seemed to come alive and actually broke free from the paper!

Before Meng Chen's astonished eyes, countless words merged together and transformed into a ball of purple spiritual sunlight. With a swoosh, it shot into his glabella!

The next moment, Meng Chen's consciousness appeared in a place filled with purple mist.

"Where is this now?" Meng Chen asked in astonishment.

"Hehe... I never expected that, after having fallen for so many years, I could return to the Dou Qi Continent. This can be considered returning to my roots, I suppose."

Hearing this, Meng Chen looked toward the voice.

He saw a blurry figure in purple robes slowly emerge. He was extremely illusory, as though he would dissipate the next second.

"The Purple Sun Emperor?" Meng Chen looked at him uncertainly.

The purple-robed figure nodded, then shook his head.

"The Purple Sun Emperor has long since fallen. I am merely a remnant inheritance will he left behind."

"Little fellow, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to return to the Dou Qi Continent. I am about to dissipate as well, so I will give you the Purple Sun Emperor's inheritance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple-robed figure pointed at Meng Chen from afar. A streak of purple spiritual light landed on Meng Chen's glabella, while the purple-robed figure began turning into specks of purple radiance.

Watching Meng Chen receive the inheritance, he was completely satisfied. As he dissipated, he chanted aloud:

"A purple sun descends upon the Great Thousand World; nine suns incinerate the world and refine all evils! In this life, I do not regret venturing into the Demon Domain; my soul returns to my homeland, my heart unchanged!"

"Hahaha... This emperor departs, departs..."
