Thinking of this, many cultivators felt a sense of pride, as if they were bathed in the glory of the divine dynasty.
"What a pity you're not a female cultivator, otherwise this prince would definitely have taken you into his household."
The eldest prince of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty felt some regret. He had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Wang Teng and harbored some peculiar feelings towards Wang Teng.
After all, this is a top-tier prodigy who can maintain the Eight Prohibitions at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven, which is comparable to Lu Ya, Yi Tiande, and Taiyin Divine Son.
The news of the Daoist Sanque's physical body's demise was concealed by the Longevity Temple, but Ziwei Divine Dynasty was the location of the incident, the cultivators of the Divine Dynasty naturally knew of his death.
Even if the Daoist Sanque barely survived thanks to his remnant soul, he could hardly regain his former glory and had already been removed from the list of the Eight Prohibitions Prodigies.
Sensing the covetous gazes of the crowd, Wang Teng's expression turned cold, his eyes sharp as knives. He glanced at the First Prince, a look that nearly made the prince's heart shatter, causing him to kneel in despair.
"One must not be disrespectful. The Imperial Ancestral decree states that seeing the Beichen is as if seeing Him."
Sensing Wang Teng's dissatisfaction, the Ziwei Dynasty Lord frowned slightly, glanced at the eldest prince, and then said gently, " Beichen, this time you will take the elite troops of the Divine Dynasty to the Human King Hall."
" The Human King Hall."
Wang Teng's heart stirred, recalling the time when he and Xiang Yufei had dined together and discussed the power of the Ziwei Ancient Star. When Xiang Yufei talked about the Longevity Temple and the Human King Hall, he revealed a cryptic smile.
Thinking of this, he accepted the token from the Ziwei Dynasty Lord. Before leaving, he stopped and sighed, "It's truly a pity that I can't fight Lu Ya, Duanmu Ming, and Yi Tiande, and take their heads to hang on the holy chariot."
After speaking, he boarded the golden ancient chariot and led the dark, imposing army of the Divine Dynasty's iron cavalry towards the Human King Hall.
The expressions of the people in the hall varied. Most of the Immortal Platform cultivators from other regions sneered and did not take Wang Teng's words to heart.
They were unaware of Wang Teng's combat strength, but they had personally witnessed the power of Lu Ya, Yi Tiande, and others. Compared to them, these three were far too powerful, like Eternal, unfailing divine sun in the sky, radiating light that illuminated the entire Ziwei Star.
The other cultivators who had experienced the battle of the capital all showed anticipation, hoping that Wang Teng could defeat Lu Ya and the others.
As the Northern Emperor's figure disappeared, the eldest prince murmured, "Truly an outstanding individual, worthy of being one of the Eight Prohibitions Prodigies."
Seeing his eldest son's undisguised behavior, Sovereign Mingdao's expression darkened, and he transmitted his thoughts, saying, "Have you seen enough? If you have, then get over here!"
"Oh, Father, what's wrong?" The handsome eldest prince was still thinking about Wang Teng.
In fact, his strength was also extraordinary. He stood at the peak of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform and possessed the power of the Six Prohibitions Realms. Although he could not compare with those geniuses of the Emperor's Path, there were few people stronger than him in the Eastern Divine Continent.
The two entered the inner hall, Ziwei Dynasty Lord suddenly attacked, striking the eldest prince with the Emperor Star Palm, leaving him crying for his parents, his face bruised and swollen.
After suppressing the good-for-nothing prince in the sacrificial hall, Sovereign Mingdao walked out refreshed, leaving only the eldest prince, who was in a miserable state, convulsing helplessly.
He wailed in anguish, "Father, I truly had no such intentions! You know I pursued Yi Qingwu back then!"
However, the ancient hall was silent, with only the portraits of past emperors silently watching over him. The sun set in the Golden Crow, the palace lanterns were extinguished, and the eldest prince was still imprisoned here. The portraits and memorial tablets of the ancient ancestors were shrouded in shadow, making them appear somewhat eerie.
The stars twinkled, the moonlit night was still young, a faint fragrance wafted in the air, the palace doors opened, and the eldest prince quickly adopted a dignified posture. Only when the person who came knelt down did he realize that the other party was Princess Yueshi.
"Little sister, what brings you here too?"
Princess Yueshi looked sorrowful and remained silent, kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Seeing his younger sister's worried face, the eldest prince asked anxiously, "Sister, what's wrong?"
However, the ancient palace was deathly silent, and Princess Yueshi, like a beautiful doll, did not respond.
The eldest prince, having failed to elicit a response, fell silent. He gazed at the cool moonlight, then glanced at his sister, who was even more beautiful than the moon itself. For some reason, he was reminded of the unforgettable image in his heart.
" Qingwu, if I had the strength of Beichen, would you still refuse me?" the handsome young man sighed inwardly.
He recalled the scene from three years ago, when he went to the Guanghan Palace, only to be defeated by his beloved.
From that moment on, he knew he was destined to be apart from the most beautiful woman in Ziwei; her husband would only be chosen from among those Eight Prohibitions talents...
For a moment, the two men had similar expressions, both sorrowful and saddened, kneeling before the portraits and memorial tablets of their ancestors, as if pouring out their hearts.
However, the paintings and jade tablets are silent, and can only watch helplessly as their descendants shed tears and grieve.
Chapter 378 Phoenix Blood Red Gold, Nine Secrets
The Ziwei Star Domain is divided into four continents: Eastern Divine Continent, Western Godaniya, Southern Jambudvipa, and Northern Kuru Reed Continent.
Among them, the Eastern Divine Continent is round like a full moon, suitable for all living beings to thrive and multiply.
This continent has two Immortal of the Foreign Realm lineages: White Tiger Mountain Villa and Heavenly Secrets Sect. Both are sacred places established by the Great Saint. The latter is a sect hidden in Great Abyss in the western part of the Divine Continent, and it has the world-shaking divine arts of deduction.
White Tiger Mountain Villa occupies the entire Morning Star Domain and half of the Dawn Sun Domain, making it the most powerful force and a true overlord of the Divine Land.
It is worth mentioning that the Sun God Sect is also located in Divine Land, but it has long since declined and is no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Western Godaniya is shaped like a crescent moon and is occupied by the Demon Clan, with the Heavenly Demon Alliance as its leader.
The Heavenly Demon Alliance, as its name suggests, is an Immortal of the Foreign Realm force founded by a Heavenly Demon Physique, and it includes a Sky Demon King Great Accomplishment King Realm.
Coincidentally, there is also a Heavenly Demon Physique in the Northern Kuru Reed Continent, known as the Heavenly Demon Granny, but that one did not join the Heavenly Demon Alliance and was a rogue cultivator.
Unlike Heavenly Demon Granny, the young master of the Big Dipper Heavenly Demon Palace, who was born with congenital deficiencies, Yao Yuekong possessed a flawless Heavenly Demon Physique. She had cultivated for over two thousand years, and her strength was unfathomable, though she had not yet reached the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform.
The Southern Jambudvipa is a continent in the southern sea of Ziwei. It is shaped like a chariot and is also vast and boundless. However, the Great Dao is not manifest there, and the environment of the Dharma Ending is extremely harsh. It is occupied by many mortal kingdoms and there is no Immortal of the Foreign Realm lineage there.
Compared to the first three continents, Northern Kuru Reed Continent has the largest territory, divided into three regions: Sun, Moon, and Star. These three regions are vast and boundless, with many Spirit Mountain and pure lands, providing an exceptionally favorable environment for cultivation. Countless beings live there, and the cultivation world is the most prosperous.
The Ziwei Divine Dynasty, the Human King Hall, the Longevity Temple, the Primordial Demon Sect, the Ice Demon Hall, the Falling Rosy Clouds Palace, the Taiyin Divine Sect, the Guanghan Palace, and Heavenly Wolf Mountain are all sacred sites in Luzhou, and some of these sects were even founded by Quasi-Emperor.
The now-extinct Human Desire Dao was also a sect of the Luzhou sect.
North of Luzhou lies the Northern Sea, where two powerful forces reside: the Fusang Divine Tree Kingdom and the Sea God Island.
The Silver Moon hung high, and the Divine Land Nether Ridge was covered by its cold light.
This is an eerie mountain range, shrouded in mist, with an ancient Daoist temple perched atop it, resembling a Netherworld.
The inky black earth, the colorful lake, and the towering mountains together create a beautiful picture.
In this environment, a magnificent ancient temple stands, bathed in silver light, mysterious and solemn, vast and righteous, gathering the essence of stars and moon.
In the distance, various towering mountains stand side by side, further highlighting the uniqueness of this place and giving it a restrained yet terrifying aura.
There is a hazy mist between this place and the outside world; this is the protective barrier of the Longevity Temple.
Su Yu, with her silver hair flowing freely and her skin radiant, emerged from the misty fog, revealing her presence.
He wore a nine-dragon robe and a purple-gold crown. He had a tall and slender figure, a serene face, and exuded the sharp aura of Great Accomplishment King.
The patterns on the purple-gold dragon robe flowed continuously, with nine golden dragons coiling and swirling around it; this was a tangible form condensed from the Saint Dao Laws.
This time, Su Yu's identity is the King Zidu.
Gazing at the dark mist ahead, Su Yu pondered for a long time, neither forcing his way in nor attempting to break through it. He sensed a subtle aura—the flow of Quasi-Emperor Laws, and the presence of incomplete Quasi-Emperor Array Patterns.
"A Quasi-Emperor has emerged here, no wonder there is half Nine Secrets: Zhe. This place is indeed extraordinary!" Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at this world with an indifferent expression.
He didn't care about the so-called remnant formation of Quasi-Emperor; instead, he was somewhat curious about the relationship between the Longevity Temple and that Heavenly Venerable.
After several dozen breaths, the mist dissipated, and a river of golden runes surged forth from the ancient temple. Compared to the silver Yue Hua under the sky, it shimmered with dazzling brilliance, spreading out from the Void and extending all the way to Su Yu's feet.
At the end of the runic light path, dozens of elderly men in blue robes emerged; they were all elders from the Immortal Platform.
Su Yu recognized many of the faces, and the leader was Qinggu Daoist, the former abbot of the Longevity Temple.
Behind Qinggu Daoist stood a middle-aged man, who was Qinggu Daoist's personal disciple and the current abbot of Longevity Temple. In addition, there were three deputy abbots. Daoist Sanque's father, Daoist Zhengde, was also among them.
The Qinggu Daoist glanced at the dazzling chains of law on Su Yu's body and sighed, " Zidu, it's been thousands of years since I last saw you. I never expected you to have touched the path of sainthood."
"We both know how difficult it is to reach the Saint Realm."
Su Yu responded calmly, then went straight to the point. "You should know the purpose of my trip."
The old man in the green robe nodded slightly, his expression knowing.
The Ziwei Divine Dynasty had already sent three groups of people, but the state of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty's foundation was unclear. The Longevity Temple had maintained a distant attitude, keeping the envoys hooked. As long as they didn't talk about the Ancient Scripture of the Gods, everything was negotiable.
But things are different now. With the King Zidu present, he truly has to make a choice.
"Let's go, it's been a long time since we last met."
The Qinggu Daoist did not say much here. After exchanging pleasantries, he led Su Yu into the Pure Land.
The other cultivators followed respectfully behind, and even the Master of the Longevity Temple had no right to interrupt when faced with two Great Accomplishment King.
The area inside and outside the formation is completely different. Here, orchids sway in the breeze, and ancient trees reach for the sky, creating a scene reminiscent of a celestial sect.
Strands of divine power intertwined and shifted, entangling the Longevity Ancient Daoist Temple. The surrounding area was filled with the essence of Life, and spiritual plants were everywhere. The rich fragrance of herbs could be smelled from a great distance.
The Silver Moon hangs high, the pine forest is picturesque, the clear spring flows over the rocks, and wooden buildings dot the landscape. It is a place of natural beauty, truly like a place beyond the world, with a sense of tranquility that transcends the three realms. It is simple, hazy, quiet, and beautiful.
Divine Rainbow streaked across the sky, and the group entered the sacred temple directly to begin discussing confidential matters.
Inside the ancient hall, Su Yu and Qinggu Daoist sat facing each other. In front of them was a bronze chessboard with black and white pieces embedded in it, exuding a faint Daoist charm.
Within the lines of black and white, the illusions of the world constantly arise and vanish, wither and flourish, advance and retreat. This is a profound trajectory of the Dao, representing the Dao Fruit of the other party.
The Qinggu Daoist remained silent, focusing intently on the black pieces and gazing silently at the chessboard.
Su Yu briefly grasped the essence of life and death, and said softly, "Your esteemed temple and the Human King Hall each possess half a scroll of the ancient scripture, but the incomplete text cannot be deciphered. Only when it is complete can the divine art be revealed. The two sides are wary of each other and can only watch the treasure mountain unfold without being able to enter."
After a moment, the old man in the green robe shook his head, disagreeing with Su Yu's statement, and said, "I already have a way to decipher that ancient scripture; I don't need the Human King Hall."
Upon hearing these remarks, Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, surprised that this seemingly otherworldly fellow could speak so fluently.
According to the original timeline, thirteen years later, the two forces could no longer suppress their desire for divine arts and decided to join forces to obtain the forbidden secret technique.
You have a hammer-like solution.
"It seems Fellow Qinggu intends for me to return empty-handed." Su Yu sighed and silently summoned a crimson jade staff.
The Eye of the Starry Sky at the top of the staff was entirely crimson, incredibly beautiful, radiating a dazzling crimson glow, and utterly dreamlike.
The elderly people who were seated were all drawn to the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Staff, their eyes fixed on the staff in Su Yu's hand.
Seeing the unwavering expression on the face of the " King Zidu," Qinggu Daoist's gaze sharpened, and his attitude softened somewhat. He said, "Brother Daoist, you are overthinking this. Now that you have come in person, I, Qinggu, know what I'm doing."
He hesitated for a moment, then voiced his doubts, asking Su Yu, "Which force was behind the previous battle Saint? Rest assured, Brother Dao, the Longevity Temple and the Ziwei Divine Dynasty are of one mind. If war breaks out in the future, the two forces will surely unite to resist the powerful enemy."
Su Yu remained silent for a moment, a hint of trepidation flashing in his eyes, before he said softly, "They are from beyond the heavens."
After the black and white lines were drawn, Qinggu Daoist frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the result. It was no secret that another Saint came from beyond the heavens; many forces knew this.
The fact that the Ziwei Divine Dynasty still exists today speaks volumes. Whether those extraterrestrials were killed or fled far away was not in his consideration.
He wanted to know the condition of that ancestor of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty; this was very important!
Whether the Saint is still alive, severely injured, on the verge of death, or has perished, the methods of dealing with Longevity Temple differ depending on his state.
If the other party's foundation is destroyed, many things will change.
