Suddenly, Su Yu's eyes narrowed. A dark figure appeared in a photo on Lin Jia's phone. It was incredibly ferocious and terrifying. It was out of place in the darkness, except for a pair of eyes that were glowing ghostly, staring at Su Yu with a greedy look.
Throughout his journey through the coffin, he never discovered the divine Divine Thought...
"I was very worried at the time, so I tried to get as close to Master as possible. That ghost seemed to be very afraid of the divine weapon in Master's hand," Lin Jia recalled the scene and said softly.
Su Yu took Lin Jia's phone, looked at the dark figure in the image, and said calmly, "That's not a divine artifact, but the lid of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, half of Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon."
"Half a Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon..."
Lin Jia's heart skipped a beat. Ever since she entered the world of cultivation, she had been curious about that dark artifact and had made many assumptions in her mind.
Although Su Yu gave her a replica of an Emperor Weapon weapon this time, she still couldn't be sure that the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar was in Su Yu's hands. After all, an Extreme Dao Weapon was too powerful, enough to change the entire situation in the Eastern Wasteland.
When the Demon Emperor's Tomb appeared, all the major forces in the Eastern Wasteland followed suit. At that time, she was only at the Bitter Sea Realm. She witnessed firsthand those all-powerful Immortal Platform cultivators who could fly and escape into the earth rushing to the Primal Spirit Ruins. However, in the end, their blood stained the sky, and even an unparalleled being perished.
These facts are enough to demonstrate the power of the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!
After reviewing his own photos, Su Yu flicked his sleeve and took away the pale pink phone. The training of his disciple was about to begin...
"Master..." Lin Jia wanted to speak, but in the end she timidly lowered her head and silently endured the bullying of her tyrannical master.
Ignoring his frail disciple's cries, Su Yu waved his sleeve and unleashed an ancient talisman. In an instant, the Void trembled, countless ripples spread through the space, and mountains and rivers shook.
From the mountains and forests, a burst of golden light shot out, and two dark golden divine wings blotted out the sun, like clouds hanging from the sky, flowing with lightning and fire, their power unmatched.
Startled by the imposing aura of the Immortal Platform bird, Lin Jia's face paled slightly. She didn't have a good impression of this golden roc; if Su Yu hadn't appeared, she would have already perished in its belly.
A clear whistle echoed through the Immortal Valley. The Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a two-meter-long golden-feathered bird, landing on the Phoenix Feather Wood, awaiting Su Yu's command.
Su Yu stroked Lin Jia's hair and chuckled, "Since you've become my disciple, I haven't yet given you any protective items."
"Master has already given it to me," Lin Jia said softly, not daring to look directly at her master.
However, the rich fragrance of the Divine Medicine emanating from the other person still dazzled her, making her feel as if she were on a cloud, with every pore on her body opening and closing, yearning for the essence of the Divine Medicine.
"You're mistaken. The previous forbidden artifacts and this spirit pet are nothing compared to what you would expect from my disciple." Su Yu shook his head and explained, "My true form is currently in the Ziwei Star Domain. You will receive your disciple's gift then."
"This disciple asks for nothing more than to serve Master day and night." The woman in the silver dress raised her head slightly, gazing at Su Yu with clear eyes and sincere emotions.
"Really don't want it?" Su Yu teased, playing with his disciple's hair. "My true form has already prepared the Nine Heavens Divine Jade, Quasi-Emperor Divine Gold, and even the Mother Qi of All Things. Now it seems..."
Before Su Yu could finish speaking, Lin Jia's expression changed, her pearly teeth parted slightly, and she whispered, "No, Master, I want it."
Not to mention Quasi-Emperor Divine Gold and the Mother Qi of All Things, the Nine Heavens Divine Jade alone is enough to make people's hearts flutter. Unlike Ye Fan, she had been wandering in the Big Dipper for six years and had never seen a real sacred divine object.
Long ago, when Jiang Family descended upon the Southern Region, she had the good fortune to catch a glimpse of her face. The green jade flower mark between her eyebrows left a deep impression on her; that celestial material was more beautiful than any metal or ancient jade in the world.
Later she learned that it was the Nine Heavens Azurefall Divine Jade, a legendary supreme divine object that could drive Great Power beings mad.
As a woman, she also loved the crystal-clear jade. The divine object she had once longed for was now right before her eyes; the feeling was too dreamlike...
"Haha..." Su Yu chuckled.
Gazing into Lin Jia's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. She was indeed a beauty of her time; how could anyone not be captivated by the charm of her turning her head and furrowing her brow?
After comforting his disciple, Su Yu turned to the Golden-Winged Roc and said indifferently, "From now on, she will be your master."
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the Thought Restriction in his sea of consciousness, Jinpeng nodded obediently, then shrank again, becoming a bird the size of a palm. He flew down and lay prostrate at Lin Jia's feet.
It had resisted, but was tortured to the point of near death by the Thought Restriction restraints, and finally gave in, after all, Su Yu had promised to bestow upon it a scroll of Saint scriptures.
Compared to an ancient scripture, submitting to an ant at the Four Extremes is nothing.
Lin Jia's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she gazed at the golden bird at her feet, finding it impossible to reconcile the fierce and powerful divine bird of the past with this fledgling.
"My true identity is the Chaos Palace Master. With your intelligence, you should have guessed this long ago." Su Yu revealed his true identity, his voice calm.
Lin Jia nodded slightly, her expression calm. In fact, she had already guessed these things, after all, that Heavenly Master Cao was a figure who appeared suddenly, and later became friends with Ye Fan, helping him break through the Four Extremes Heavenly Barriers...
Su Yu waved his sleeve and took out thirteen jade slips, saying gently, "You can cultivate here in peace. Take these jade slips and study them. Each jade slip represents a royal Dao Scripture. See which one suits you best."
Feeling the warmth of Su Yu's fingers, Lin Jia took the jade slip. Her body felt light, as if she were about to fly.
"Thirteen Imperial Dao Scripture... This is practically mythical." Lin Jia trembled inwardly, feeling as if these jade slips were as heavy as Mount Tai, instantly filling her empty heart.
Seeing his disciple's embarrassed state, Su Yu shook his head, a reserved smile on his lips.
A woman from the Land of Desolation could hardly withstand such an offensive; it seems it won't be long before the enemy falls completely...
He moved his hands, creating divine marks, his fingers and palms filled with purple light, and wisps of Chaos energy emanated from them. The marks were threads, and the divine light was lines, outlining a mysterious and complex Dao diagram in the Void.
Su Yu flicked his fingertip, transforming the ancient Dao diagram into a mustard seed, and then pointed it at Lin Jia's brow, whispering, "This is the secret technique diagram of the 'Former' character!"
The woman in the silver dress trembled slightly. Her sea of consciousness was filled with countless stars, strands of immortal light flew by, and various divine runes of the Great Dao flowed continuously, captivating her and allowing her to absorb the nourishment within...
As the stars shone and the Sun-Moon swayed, when Lin Jia awoke again, countless stars hung high in the sky, a clear moon shone with its Yue Hua, ancient trees were silent, flowerbeds were tranquil, and a jade slip gleaming with purple light floated in front of her. Everything was shrouded in stillness.
It seems like nothing has changed, yet it also seems like everything has changed.
After browsing through the information within the purple jade slip, Lin Jia felt somewhat dazed. She slumped down, collapsing into the sea of flowers, and murmured, "Master, have you left...?"
Chapter 411 Qin Sect
The Central Province are vast and boundless, the Dragon Land is expansive, stretching for countless miles. From the Eastern Wasteland to the west, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the landscape is like a painting.
Looking down from the clouds, majestic cities stand tall, and creatures dwindle like ants. Amidst the sacred mountains and great rivers, one after another, Big Dragon coil, shrouded in ethereal mist, giving the scene a sense of ancient history.
In the purplish-gold mist, Su Yu, with his black hair flowing over his shoulders, was surrounded by Time Dao patterns, his immortal light flowing, exuding a vast and awe-inspiring Dao charm.
His expression was calm, and behind him was a crystal-clear purple jade sword box, surrounded by Chaos light and exuding a sharp sword intent.
The sword hilt is dazzling, like the most beautiful treasure in the world, radiant and dreamlike, with flowing blue light, like the most dazzling star in the universe. It shimmers with a mysterious luster, hundreds or thousands of times more dreamlike than a sapphire, making it impossible to look away at first glance.
This is the Immortal Tribulation Sword that he forged using Eternal Blue Gold and Star Blue Mother Gold!
The Golden Crow hangs high in the sky, its light filling the heavens, and the sea of clouds gathers. A woman of unparalleled beauty walks gracefully, making the Sun-Moon pale in comparison. She seems to have descended from the Nine Heavens, her beauty surpassing all others. She is none other than Princess Yue Ling of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty, and the second most beautiful woman in Central Province.
Behind her followed a group of people, led by an old man with gray hair. This was an old patriarch of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty, whose cultivation was close to the Imperial Lord Realm.
Next was a valiant young man with a halo above his head and a roaring dragon aura, looking quite extraordinary. He was the fifth prince of the Nine Li Dynasty and the elder brother of Princess Yue Ling, and he had come for the throne.
The old man in the dragon robe was in good spirits, his face was calm and composed, and his eyes were deep as he gazed at the purple-gold mist. However, he was very restrained and did not use his supernatural powers.
"Your Highness." Princess Yue Ling, holding the hem of her skirt, her graceful figure outlining a Perfect World curve, bowed.
The elder from the Jiuli Divine Dynasty also withdrew his gaze, and together with the Fifth Prince, bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness Ancient Emperor!"
The dozen or so cultivators behind the three knelt down in unison; they were all Princess Yue Ling's blood relatives.
"No need for formalities!" Su Yu glanced at Princess Yue Ling, nodded slightly, and gestured for everyone to rise.
Whatever mission this Great Power being harbored, it was all insignificant in his eyes.
As long as the opponent, the Great Saint Sage Ancestor, does not appear, he cannot attract his attention. Now he is close to the Saint Realm and can be considered to have achieved minor success in the Chaos Body, with combat power comparable to that of Ancient Saint.
Upon seeing Su Yu again, Princess Yue Ling's brows relaxed, and a hint of longing appeared in her eyes. Returning home in glory was certainly good, but compared to the humanoid Enlightenment Tree, it was still far inferior.
She moved gracefully behind Su Yu, looked at the old man in the dragon robe, and said softly, "Your Highness, this is my third ancestor..."
"This old man Li Mu, and I greet Your Highness." The gray-haired old man nodded slightly, his expression exceptionally respectful.
After all, the person in front of him was not only the son of Ancient Emperor, but also a Severing the Dao from the Dharma Ending Age, enough to dominate an entire Lifetime.
"This is my elder brother, Li Hao!"
The dashing young man lowered his posture considerably, bowed once more, and said solemnly, "This junior greets Your Highness!"
"No need for such formalities; there's no need for such distance between our two families."
Amidst the purple-gold mist, Su Yu's attitude was very warm and not arrogant, which brought joy to the people of the Nine Li Dynasty, as they all belonged to the same faction.
The Fifth Prince, in particular, remained outwardly calm, but his primordial spirit within his Immortal Platform trembled, feeling as if he had ascended to the pinnacle of Qingyun, the once unattainable throne now beckoning him...
The power struggle in the Nine Li Dynasty was fierce. All ten princes were outstanding, but only one could become the emperor.
The two most likely candidates are the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince. Both are exceptional talents who have reached the Immortal Platform Secret Realm in cultivation. Moreover, their maternal clans are both very prestigious, namely the Ancient Hua Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of the other princes, the eldest prince, though the oldest and with the highest cultivation level, having reached the Immortal Platform Second Heaven, has a low-status mother and a very low profile, making his ascension to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm.
According to the ancestral precepts of the Nine Li Dynasty, only princes who enter the Immortal Platform Secret Realm can be sent out to be enfeoffed as kings, each ruling a region and guarding the territory. Only by being sent out to be enfeoffed as kings, establishing their own territories, and establishing their own domains, can they have the qualifications to compete for the throne.
Princess Yue Ling's return to Jiuli this time brought some divine artifacts, which helped the Fifth Prince enter the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, directly changing the succession struggle in the Nine Li Dynasty...
"Interesting. Do you want to use external forces to ascend to the throne?" Su Yu's gaze swept over him, and he immediately saw what the young man in the dragon robe was thinking.
However, he wasn't opposed to it; there was indeed a chance that it was feasible.
Unlike the Ji Family, the Nine Li Dynasty did not have a self-appointed imperial son. Supporting Li Hao to become the Jiuli Emperor would be beneficial to him, and all he would need to give up was a little bit of extreme power.
"Since he is Yue Ling's elder brother..."
With a light tap of his fingertip, Su Yu unleashed a surge of Chaos energy, sending forth wisps of immortal light and swirling runes. A page of the Purple Light Jade Marrow Book fell into Li Hao's hand, its surface covered with Dao patterns and radiating a rich Daoist aura.
"This aura is from the ancient scriptures of the Saint!" The old ancestor of the Nine Li Dynasty was deeply moved and immediately produced a scroll of the Saint' scriptures. It seems that Yue Ling is very favored there.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Highness!" Li Hao said to Su Yu, barely suppressing his excitement.
Both the Divine Jade of Severing the Dao the Dao and the Ancient Scripture of the Saint are treasures that Great Power would fight over. His brother-in-law is indeed worthy of being the son of Ancient Emperor; his first move was such a grand gesture, which is astonishing.
"It's just a small token, nothing much, Brother Hao, there's no need for that."
Su Yu remained calm. He was at a different level now. He had already accumulated a considerable amount of the Nine Heavens Divine Jade and Saint Weapon that he once longed for, and they could no longer move him, unless he found a Nine Heavens Divine Jade mine.
With her hair gently swaying, Princess Yue Ling's beautiful eyes reflected Su Yu's image, overflowing with tenderness. This was truly a triumphant return home, and even with her composed demeanor, she could not hide her joy.
Sensing the affection in the beauty's eyes, Su Yu chuckled lightly, remaining calm.
A scroll of ancient Saint to a sage, a piece of divine jade at the Severing the Dao level—these things would mean nothing thirty years from now, yet they can cause a minor stir...
"Your Highness, this is a state gift from my lord in return." The gray-haired old man hesitated for a moment, then with a flick of his sleeve, took out a purple-gold gourd, which was very dazzling and shimmering with light.
This was a return gift prepared by the Nine Li Dynasty for Su Yu. It was quite precious to the Holy Lord, but the other party's generosity made it pale in comparison.
Su Yu took the purple-gold gourd and sensed a familiar aura—the aura of the Five-Colored Stone, which was exactly what he lacked.
It seems that the Divine Spring was extremely valuable back then, and the Jiuli Emperor's attitude was quite correct.
"Thank you very much Jiuli Emperor!" He took out another piece of Purple Light Jade Marrow containing Daoist charm and asked Prince Li Hao to hand it over to Jiuli Emperor.
After some back and forth, everyone relaxed a lot. Li Mu glanced at the Fifth Prince, then took out a black-gold token wreathed in dark light and handed it to Su Yu.
This is a divine decree of the Nine Li Dynasty. Holding it allows one to mobilize a unit of Jiuli's iron cavalry. Moreover, the holder of this decree holds a rank equivalent to that of a prince of the dynasty. All the kingdoms of Central Province and the various schools of thought recognize this decree.
"Interesting. The Severing the Dao Divine Chain. It seems the Nine Li Dynasty also has a contemporary King. These powerful forces are all hiding their strength better than the last." Su Yu stroked the black-gold token, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, sensing a wisp of powerful divine power contained within the ancient token.
Beyond the divine decree, the gray-haired old man offered another generous gift. "Your Highness's arrival in Central Province is a significant event, and the Jiuli, as the host, has made all preparations. The Emperor has decreed that all tribes of Jiuli must cooperate with Your Highness."
