A mere Human Origin Fruit was nothing to Chen Yu now. It was just right for Jiang Tingting to use.
Compared to the Human Origin Fruit, obtaining the Dao Scripture was a much more substantial gain.
"This is indeed the genuine Sea of Bitterness Chapter of the Dao Scripture-not the incomplete scriptures circulating outside, but the complete version."
He reached out and used a special method of the heavenly secret masters' lineage to transmit the scripture directly to Ye Fan.
"If you cultivate this scripture, barring any accidents, you'll be able to lay the deepest possible foundation."
After learning what was on the golden page, Ye Fan's face lit up with joy.
"This place is far too dangerous. If you have nothing else to do here, leave as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happen."
Chen Yu spoke quietly. "Don't worry about Pang Bo. I'll resolve his situation later."
"We'll meet again if fate allows."
He patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Quite some time had passed since the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum first appeared. Chen Yu reckoned it would not be long before the Azure Emperor Weapon emerged.
It was time for him to return to Yan Ruyu's side.
"Master Chen."
Ye Fan watched Chen Yu hurry away, worry in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing more.
However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked ahead, divine light shining in his eyes.
I have to work hard to become stronger, until I can protect the people around me.
The thought flashed through his mind. Then he looked ahead, gritted his teeth, and continued forward.
From the look of it, he seemed prepared to face the difficulties head-on and search for an opportunity within the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
After some maneuvering, sure enough, he found the green copper again and took it into his Bitter Sea.
By then, Chen Yu had already reunited with Yan Ruyu.
"How are things?"
Looking at Yan Ruyu before him, Chen Yu asked casually, "Have all the necessary arrangements been made?"
"They're complete."
Yan Ruyu said, "With the inheritance our ancestor left behind and this Treasure Gathering Basin, as soon as our ancestor's Emperor Weapon emerges, it will be drawn here immediately. There won't be any problems."
"Good."
Chen Yu nodded and opened his mouth to say something, only to be interrupted by a disturbance in the distance.
Looking up, he saw a dazzling radiance shine out from within the Demon Emperor's palace, manifesting at that moment.
Many divine objects were manifesting here, like streaks of flowing light, but this radiance was far more terrifying. Like a true sun, it blazed with scorching light.
The radiance was so dazzling that no one could look directly at it. It stirred an inexplicable feeling, making them instinctively want to submit.
A wisp of imperial might spread from it, suppressing all directions.
"An Emperor Weapon!"
Many of those present cried out, "The demon race's Great Emperor's weapon has emerged!"
Many people stared fixedly at that dazzling radiance, ready to strike at any moment and seize the Emperor Weapon.
Under their gazes, the Emperor Weapon fell in a certain direction.
Bang!
The stone wall before them cracked. Unable to withstand the Emperor Weapon's power, it was smashed to pieces. Even the cultivators standing nearby who failed to dodge in time were pulverized by that force, unable to offer the slightest obstruction.
The stone wall came into view, revealing Yan Ruyu and the others.
Without the slightest hesitation, they activated the Treasure Gathering Basin, took the Azure Emperor Weapon before them, then turned to leave.
The terrain configurations and Dao patterns they had inscribed beforehand lay all around. Once activated, they immediately erupted with terrifying divine power, teleporting the entire group away.
"Damn it! They actually got away with the Azure Emperor Weapon!"
"That was the Azure Emperor Lineage! They were lying in wait here all along!"
Many of those present frowned, but with the Azure Emperor Lineage already having escaped, there was nothing they could do.
Chen Yu stood where he was, watching the entire process, and finally left along with Yan Ruyu and the others.
A moment later, they were teleported directly out of Spirit Ruins Paradise, arriving at a base outside that had long since been prepared.
"Whew, that really was dangerous!"
After leaving Spirit Ruins Paradise, every one of them wore an excited expression.
Through this scheme, they had successfully welcomed back their ancestor's Emperor Weapon. From now on, the Azure Emperor Lineage would be revitalized in their hands, becoming a true Great Emperor's orthodoxy.
"Princess, Your Highness, look at the Emperor Weapon!"
Elder Qing held the Emperor Weapon, her face flushed and her eyes filled with fervor.
In her hands, a green lotus quietly floated up and down.
On the surface, it seemed to be nothing more than a green lotus, its exterior emerald green, like a living divine herb.
Upon closer inspection, faint traces of Chaos Qi could be seen within it, as though it were itself breathing chaos in and out. It possessed a quality like the creation of heaven and earth, exceptionally extraordinary and unique.
Although it was an Emperor Weapon, it seemed to reveal no power as Elder Qing held it. It merely floated quietly up and down, displaying its extraordinary nature in this way.
"So this is..."
Looking at the Emperor Weapon before her, Yan Ruyu was deeply excited as well.
Her lineage had endured for ten thousand years. Where did it fall short compared to the Jiang Family and Ji Family, who were also Imperial Clans? Was it not simply that they lacked an Emperor Weapon?
Having no Emperor Weapon meant having no protective power that could serve as an absolute deterrent, yet they possessed the demon race's only complete imperial scripture.
What that meant needed no elaboration. Over all these years, not only had human cultivators been hostile toward them, but demon cultivators had been the same, eyeing the Azure Emperor Scripture they held like tigers watching their prey, seeking to seize it.
Life had not been easy for their lineage over all these years.
Now, things were finally looking up.
With the Emperor Weapon's return, everything would return to its proper course.
The Azure Emperor Lineage would become an Imperial Clan standing on equal footing with the Ji Family and Jiang Family, a flourishing power in its own right.
At the thought, even someone of Yan Ruyu's temperament could not help growing excited.
She reached forward. Sensing the pull of her bloodline, the Azure Emperor Weapon flew into her hands of its own accord.
Then a new transformation began.
The Emperor Weapon slowly began to shine. The Chaos Green Lotus breathed Chaos Qi in and out, while its lotus receptacle began to glow.
Thump! Thump!
Terrifying tremors emanated from this place, like the heart of some ancient creature, carrying a sense of age and the vicissitudes of time.
Then a heart truly appeared above the Chaos Green Lotus, bearing dense imperial might. Even now, it was still beating.
"Is this... the Saint's Heart our ancestor left behind?"
Looking at the heart, Yan Ruyu immediately recognized it.
A feeling of connection through blood welled up within her, leaving her almost unable to withstand the pressure of the Qing Emperor's Heart. She nearly fell to her knees on the spot.
Fortunately, the Azure Emperor Weapon could temporarily guide and seal the heart, preventing a major disaster.
"Wonderful."
Elder Qing's face was full of joy. "With the Saint's Heart left behind by the Great Emperor, your future path will surely know no bounds, Princess. The path to emperorship in this lifetime was prepared for you!"
"Congratulations, Princess! You can become an emperor in the future!"
