Ying Yan looked up and found countless eyes were fixed on him, including those of sages and Dao-Slaying King.
He rose with neither servility nor arrogance, bowed towards the steps, and said, "Your subordinate is here!"
"This matter concerns you. Select ten members of your clan with strong bloodlines to accompany you!" The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo clone said calmly.
Ying Yan was somewhat bewildered, but still bowed and said yes!
The other party had given him a second chance at life in the Sun God Sect, and even if this prince asked him to die, he would not refuse!
Faced with the bewildered saints, Su Yu explained, "This matter involves the coffin of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, hence the summoning of Sect Master Ying Yan to accompany us!"
"What?! The Holy Emperor's coffin!"
"My God! Has Your Highness discovered the Burial Ground the Human Emperor?!"
"An imperial tomb, perhaps containing the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon of the Holy Emperor of the Sun!"
For a time, discussions arose within the Lingque Palace, and even the sages found it difficult to remain calm, their minds in turmoil.
The Holy Emperor of the Sun left no imperial artifacts after his death, so the Sun Emperor Tower is very likely buried in the imperial coffin!
Cult Sect Master Ying Yan's pupils constricted, his mind went blank, and he lost his composure for the first time in a long time, standing frozen in place...
"The ancestral coffins—a sign of the revival of our Sun God Sect!"
In the Eastern Divine Continent, the ancestral home of the Sun God Sect, Ying Yan, his expression excited, recounted the contents of the upcoming court assembly to his clansmen.
The Ying Clan clan members were also very excited. The Sun Clan had been in decline for a long time and had been oppressed by various forces. Now, the leaders of the Imperial Dynasty stood up for them and were going to support the Sun God Sect, which allowed the Ying Clan to truly rise.
At this moment, the Holy Emperor's Mausoleum has appeared in the world, and perhaps the Sun Emperor Tower of our ancestors will also return. The Ying Clan may be able to become a true Imperial Clan and enter the ranks of top powers!
Among the crowd, an old man seemed about to say something, but seeing the cult Sect Master's high spirits, he remained silent.
After a long while, Ying Yan selected the ten most outstanding members of his clan, arranged matters within the sect, and then dismissed everyone.
Everything returned to calm. Looking at the divine sun outside, the Taiyang Sect Master laughed heartily. This was a Saint Weapon bestowed upon him by His Highness Shi Ming, who also made a promise to take his child as a disciple!
This is absolutely an incredible opportunity, such is his destiny! The rise of the Sun God Sect has begun, and he is about to become the restorer of the Ying Clan!
" Sect Master!"
Just as Ying Yan was looking to the future, the old servant spoke up, "I think we should still be careful. Those high-ranking officials in the Imperial Dynasty might have ulterior motives. The Holy Emperor's mausoleum..."
" Elder Jiang, His Shi Ming will be my child's teacher..."
Looking at the old servant who had served his father, Ying Yan spoke gently and began to explain.
As the Sect Master of a declining sect, Ying Yan's personality is very different from other Sect Master. He is adept at social maneuvering and tries his best to befriend other forces, even willing to set aside his own dignity.
Internally, he united his people and was tolerant of his subordinates, winning unanimous praise from both within and outside the tribe, and everyone was willing to follow him.
"I never imagined that after so long, there would still be people who remember the Holy Emperor's achievements." Elder Jiang shed tears of joy.
He was an old man rescued by the previous Sect Master and had long regarded the Solar Ancient Sect as his home. Now, seeing the revival of the cult, he felt indescribable joy.
Ying Yan was also filled with mixed emotions, a mixture of joy and sorrow, unable to find peace.
The former is because the light at the end of the tunnel is about to appear, and a great prosperity is about to begin. The latter is sad because the descendants are incompetent and have failed their ancestors. In the end, they will have to rely on the legacy of the Holy Emperor to turn things around!
As the moon rises, the night sky is still, and within a vast expanse, only a single divine sun shines, illuminating the territory of the Sun God Sect!
The next day, another joyous event occurred: the Sect Master's wife was pregnant. For cultivators, the result of yin and yang union would soon be revealed...
Sect Master Ying Yan was overjoyed. This unborn child would connect the Solar Ancient Sect and His Shi Ming; she would be the founder of the Ying Clan's revival!
" Ye Tong's older sister, a regressed Sun Body..."
At the Southern Sea, within the Divine Court, Su Yu chuckled softly, having long awaited the arrival of his disciple.
For him, even Sun Body with impure bloodline is worth nurturing. He possesses several secret techniques for tempering bloodlines, and with his own help, his disciple's future is limitless!
Within the jade lotus platform, Lu Ling and Duanmu Xue lay limp, their jade-like bodies, white as ivory, languidly reclining on the bed.
The cherry blossom silk could not conceal the snow-white skin; her lotus-like arms, like frost and snow, swayed beside the pillow, more beautiful than the most beautiful jade.
Having been tempered by the Goddess Furnace, these two resentful women had become numb. Even Duanmu Xue, who harbored a deep-seated hatred for Su Yu, was powerless to struggle any longer. She could only clench her fists and swallow all the humiliation...
With the help of the maidservants, Su Yu dressed himself and then stepped into the dojo.
The female officials guarding the temple were surrounded by rosy light and enveloped in Yue Hua.
Beside it was a Chaos purple waterfall, its aura shaking the heavens, vast and mighty, as if it had fallen from the Milky Way and connected to the netherworld, its aura profound and permeated with the vicissitudes of time.
"Your Highness Yu!"
The golden-haired Tuoyu Yuansheng emerged from the Void and nodded to Su Yu.
His expression changed slightly, and he solemnly said, "The plan has changed. Some beings recorded in ancient texts have appeared outside Ziwei Star. The bronze ship that drifted in the Primordial Era has returned!"
"How is that possible? Has the timeline changed...?" The Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo clone's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a strange look.
However, he quickly figured out the reason, which was probably due to the unusual movement of the Ziwei Star that time. The Emperor Star trembled and burst out with millions of strands of divine light, some of which shot into the depths of the universe and were discovered by those Primordial Ancestral King.
Su Yu glanced at the woman in the purple dress and said calmly, "Ring the Chaos Bell!"
Upon receiving the temple master's order, Yi Qingwu bowed slightly, gathered her sleeves in a gesture of respect, and then a delicate, fair hand emerged from her cloud-patterned sleeves, holding a golden staff, and struck the Thousand Illusions Chaos Bell outside the Sun God Temple.
This large bell bears the primordial spirit imprints of the Ziwei Saints; once the bell rings, all those Saint will know.
"When..."
The divine bell, entirely of shimmering silver, emitted specks of starlight. With a single chime, its divine sound resounded, and Chaos light flickered, its echoes carrying for countless miles, reaching an immeasurable distance.
Soon, streaks of light appeared one after another, awakening from their seclusion, piercing the sky, and arriving at this place.
"Greetings, Your Highness Yu!"
The Saint King Cangyue was the first to arrive. He was surrounded by the Chain of Taichu, and the light of his primordial spirit illuminated Eternal —a sign that he was about to break through to a higher realm.
Having been bestowed with immortal scriptures and divine techniques, he gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dao by drawing parallels between different categories.
The enlightenment he experienced over the next six months greatly advanced his cultivation. If it weren't for the limitations of the Dharma Ending Age, he would have already reached the Great Saint realm.
After all, he was a person of great fortune, having obtained the legendary shattered immortal island— Yuanjiao.
Both Yuanjiao and Daiyu Islands contain remnants of primordial energy from the Primordial Era, somewhat similar to the Primordial Source Realm in Su Yu's possession, making them a pure land.
When Tuoyu Yuansheng and Island Master Cangyue first entered the Immortal Island, they were only at the Saint Realm. Over the past few thousand years, they have broken through their realms one after another. One of them has attained the Great Saint Dao Fruit, and the other is about to step into the Great Saint Realm.
"They are the Destroyers recorded in ancient texts, who descended upon the Ziwei Star Domain in the Desolate Antiquity era. At that time, nine Saint from various forces intervened and banished them to the edge of the universe. I never expected them to reappear now!"
The Longevity Saint smiled faintly, showing little sign of tension.
In the past, facing this ship Primordial Ancestral King, the Ziwei cultivators would have suffered heavy losses. Even if the resources of the major powers were revealed, it would be useless and they would be unable to resist.
But now, they can use the Imperial Weapons!
The Sages of Ziwei had a deep understanding of what it felt like to be suppressed by Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, as they had once felt the power of Su Yu's imperial weapon.
Now the tables have turned, and they're using Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon to suppress the Primordial Ancestral King!
Those destroyers recorded in ancient texts will soon be destroyed!
"Since you're here, just deal with it!" The Immortal Phoenix clone stepped out and said somewhat coldly.
His appearance is identical to that of the Heavenly Emperor's Son, and coupled with his Divine Phoenix Blood, no one except the Undying Daoist and the Undying Heavenly Emperor can tell them apart!
One reason for doing this was that Su Yu was eagerly anticipating his encounter with the Undying Heavenly Empress!
Void spread through the void as the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo Avatar and the Star Lord Lucun emerged. Shi Ming, with a leisurely expression, calmly stated, "There are three Great Saint on that bronze ship, but those Ancestor King are nearing the end of their Life force, at their lowest point, and are nothing to fear!"
Upon hearing this, the sages present exchanged smiles, all looking quite relaxed.
Let alone those destroyers whose blood energy is almost exhausted, even if they are at their peak, they cannot escape the fate of being suppressed!
"Then I'll trouble Yuan Sheng and Star Sovereign to take action and capture this group of Primordial Ancestral King!" Dao patterns flowed in Su Yu's eyes as he bowed to the two Great Saint.
"It's my duty!"
Tuoyu Yuansheng and Star Lord Lucun returned the greeting.
Let's go!
Then, Su Yu flicked his hand, and countless array patterns appeared out of thin air, instantly engulfing the area, and an incomparably vast light curtain enveloped the dojo.
This is an extremely complex and profound ancient formation, covered with Void runes that completely envelop this area!
Among them are the Void Emperor's traversing formation and the Ruthless Great Emperor's divine rune. The two are combined, along with other magnificent and complex Dao runes, densely packed, sealing the heavens and the earth.
Now that he is about to become a saint, his mastery of array patterns is becoming increasingly powerful. Plucking stars and seizing the moon is nothing to him. He truly has the demeanor of an ancient Sect Master and is incredibly powerful!
"Boom!"
Space trembled, and the crystal-clear blue jade palace floated and sank, enveloped by a mysterious magic array, rising from the Southern Sea Mountain and flying towards the outer realms.
[1]: Some parts of the previous text have been changed, weakening the realm of the Ziwei Saint. The changes to Daiyu and Yuanjiao Immortal Island are also caused by the protagonist's time travel, which will be mentioned later.
Without these two immortal islands, Tuoyu and Cang Yue would likely have died of old age, and the three Saint on the islands would probably not exist.
Leaving aside these two immortal islands, the number of contemporary Saint in the Ziwei Star Domain is only a handful, which I don't think is too far-fetched!
Furthermore, the reason why the Ziwei Saint intervened has been changed. The fragrance of the Divine Medicine on Su Yu's body was recognized, and the reasons for the Immortal Medicine, the imperial artifact, and the immortal scripture are combined!
[2]: My family member has heatstroke and needs to go to the hospital. I don't know if I can take the day off tomorrow. I'll see when the time comes. If I can come back, I definitely won't take the day off!
Chapter 455 Changes in the Timeline
The starry sky was deathly silent, exuding a chilling aura.
This is a universal depiction of the universe. The vast galaxy and the Life Source Land are but a drop in the ocean, hidden in the boundless darkness, with no end in sight. This is also why Saint are lost in the starry sky.
In the distance, the Solar Star shines with light and heat, illuminating this ancient star field.
The large purple star was surrounded by auspicious energy, with clouds and mist swirling around it, creating a magnificent spectacle. Under the illumination of the night, some bright spots of light were scattered across its surface.
Outside the Ziwei Star Domain, three asteroid belts composed of fragments rotate, containing countless tiny particles ranging in size from micrometers to meters, orbiting the Ziwei Star in clusters.
Within the planetary belt, ice fragments are densely packed, shimmering with a silvery-white light, like a flower in a desolate universe, sparkling and radiant, containing an enduring aura.
Amidst the shattered ruins and icy rocks, a bronze ancient ship, mottled with rust, exudes antiquity, as if it has existed since the beginning of time, straddling the entirety of ancient history.
On the warship, twenty-nine tall demonic figures stood, including various ancient creatures such as the Divine Phoenix, Qilin, Blue Dragon, and Ice Phoenix. The three Great Saint at the head of the group stared at the ancient Emperor Star with gloomy expressions and icy gazes.
Unlike the Thousand-Handed Godfiend, the other two Great Saints possessed a Great Saint aura, like two beams of Eternal light. The chains of order around their bodies jingled and moved. With each breath, heaven and earth trembled, and the entire world seemed to tremble in response to their aura!
