Blood Descendant of the Human Emperor, Staking His Life to Enter the Game!
"Immortal's Remains, Alliance of Immortals ----"
Yu Tunzhou learned the details of what had happened during this period from Luo Xuanyue.
He suddenly turned his head to look.
Luo Xuanyue and the other woman followed closely behind, feeling a chill run down their spines.
It's incredible that Grandmaster could actually sneak in so close by, completely ignoring the Luo Household's defensive formation!
Even the Grandmaster of the Xie Household failed to achieve this!
Yu Tunzhou withdrew his gaze and said, "It may be presumptuous of me to say this, but please take me to see the immortal remains of the Luo Household."
An Ruyu specifically left a letter reminding him to be careful with his remains—speaking of which, how did this woman know about his relationship with the Luo Household?
Yes, she was also there at the Human Emperor Grotto-Heaven, and she saw through my disguise.
The old woman forced herself to remain calm and said, "Brother Great Hero Yu, you're too kind. I'll take you there to check on the condition of the remains."
A Grandmaster from beyond the heavens silently infiltrated the Luo Household, never revealing himself. His intentions were almost self-evident.
Even setting aside the matter of Yu Tunzhou, the two members of the Luo Household were still uneasy and were determined to investigate further.
"Mr. Jiang's side," the old woman hesitated, looking towards the northwest.
The fighting is still going on over there; are they just going to leave like that?
"It's alright."
Yu Tunzhou laughed, dispelling her concerns with a single sentence.
"This is Jiang Wenxuan."
Yu Tunzhou had no worries about Senior Jiang's battle.
In a sense, Jiang Wenxuan's situation is very special.
Firstly, he is a direct descendant of the Luo River Jiang Clan, one of the Four Great Households of the Divine Capital. If he had not left the Jiang Household, he would have been fully qualified to become the current patriarch of the Jiang Household.
In theory, he had already mastered the Jiang Household's legacy.
Although it's unclear who the powerful figure behind the Jiang Household is, their ability to stand alongside other families suggests that their heritage and foundation are undoubtedly strong.
Under such circumstances, dealing with a Grandmaster from outer space would be a piece of cake.
Secondly, and most importantly
Jiang Wenxuan was the one who followed Master Lu the longest, and Master Lu was the Dao and Virtue Manifestation.
In a sense, Jiang Wenxuan's status is comparable to that of Yin Xi, who briefly followed Laozi in the past.
Therefore, Yu Tunzhou had absolutely no reason to worry about Jiang Wenxuan's strength.
Immediately, the old woman led Yu Tunzhou to the secret chamber beneath the stone chamber, while Luo Xuanyue waited in place.
Luo Xuanyue did not wait long.
In just a short while.
The oppressive feeling from the northwest had dissipated.
Soon, a figure returned to the stone chamber, carrying a dusty, disheveled fellow.
Jiang Wenxuan threw Han Wuj iu to the ground. After just one glance, he guessed that Yu Tunzhou had gone to check on the immortal's remains.
He was also quite interested in the remains.
Luo Xuanyue stepped forward, still shaken, and asked, "Senior Jiang, is this the powerful extraterrestrial who infiltrated the Luo Household? Is he here for the immortal's remains?"
Han Wuj iu sat calmly on the ground, quite well-behaved, without making a fuss.
He's just a prisoner; what storms hasn't Han Wuj iu weathered along the way?
He was imprisoned for seventy years by a sect that had made a mistake, trying to extract various Secret Method and Divine Ability from him. He flattered and stalled for time, managing to hold out until the sect was overthrown by enemy forces and its lineage perished.
These days, all the glittering scenes of prosperity are fake!
Who can Changsheng forever? Who can stand at the peak forever?
Divine Capital in Heavenly Court have vanished into thin air!
Therefore, what does a momentary act of kneeling and begging for mercy amount to?
Millions of years from now, it will be nothing more than remnants of memory, a seasoning for reminiscing about past hardships and appreciating present happiness, utterly insignificant.
"You want me to repeat it for him?"
Jiang Wenxuan glanced at Han Wuj iu.
Han Wuj iu hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Senior, I did indeed come here for the remains of an immortal. These remains are of extraordinary origin, and it's a real pity that they've fallen into the hands of the Luo Household."
Luo Xuanyue asked in a deep voice, "Are you a member of the Alliance of Immortals?"
Han Wuj iu glance at Luo Xuanyue.
What right does a tiny, External Scenery Second Layer set have to question him?
Jiang Wenxuan looked at him expressionlessly.
"----How could I, Han, be scum of the Immortal Alliance? I hail from the Qingwei Heavenly Net Dojo, though not a member of the orthodox Xuanmen sect, I am still one of the unorthodox sects!"
Han Wuj iu said indignantly.
Luo Xuanyue frowned; the other party wasn't from the Alliance of Immortals!
"Where did you hear that the Luo Household possesses the remains of an immortal?" Jiang Wenxuan suddenly asked.
"I have some connections even outside the capital, which is why an old acquaintance specifically sent me a message."
Han Wuj iu answered honestly.
"You obtained the remains, what do you intend to do with them?"
"This is quite useful."
Han Wuj iu hesitated and said, "If I can refine this remains, I will be able to contend with ordinary immortals Immortals and Gods in the Central Plains."
"Of course, a new generation of Immortals and Gods like you, with your established lineage, are beyond the reach of this junior!"
Jiang Wenxuan showed no reaction to Han Wuj iu Wujiu's flattery, only saying, "A mere remnant of a Immortals and Gods can help you contend with Immortals and Gods?"
Han Wuj iu explained, "This remains have an extraordinary origin; it is highly likely that it is Immortals and Gods who achieved enlightenment in the High Antiquity times. The perfection of its Immortal Physique far surpasses that of today's False Immortal, and theoretically, it would be subject to extremely low suppression from heaven and earth."
"Immortal Physique Completion Status----"
This was the first time Jiang Wenxuan had ever heard of such a concept.
This is something that Martial Dao Dharma Aspect forms do not possess.
"Let's go, we'll go take a look down there too."
Jiang Wenxuan looked at Luo Xuanyue.
The latter immediately led the way.
Before long, they followed the secret passage to a secret chamber a hundred feet below.
Han Wuj iu walked in the middle, not daring to act rashly, but his eyes were always fixed on what was ahead.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
It's a good thing to be able to observe the remains of the immortal from the Luo Household up close. After all, life is unpredictable, and fate is fickle. Who knows, this thing might return to his hands in the future!
Two people were already standing in the secret room below.
Han Wuj iu glanced around and discovered that the old woman was another member of the Luo Household's External Scenery, and also the linchpin of the city's defensive formation.
The reason he went to such lengths was to deceive this person so that he could take the remains silently without triggering the great formation.
The other person appeared to be young from behind, but the aura of legal principles surrounding him was not strong; he was merely at the level of External Scenery.
Han Wuj iu sighed inwardly.
There are only a handful of Dharma Aspect in the Central Plains; who would have thought that such a small place could suddenly have one?
Could it be that they were lured here by those scumbags from the Alliance of Immortals?
He immediately considered this possibility, and his hatred for those bastards deepened.
Soon, as they entered the secret chamber, the remains of an immortal on the jade platform came into view. With a tall crown and wide belt, and flowing sleeves, he exuded a strong High Antiquity style, which was an early remnant of the past.
From the early to middle period of High Antiquity, under the influence of the Human Emperor, the Human Race emphasized "pragmatism," and flowing sleeves were no longer the mainstream fashion; close-fitting and comfortable clothing became the norm.
This remains, dating back countless millennia, not only did not decay, but every pore on its body still "breathed," interacting with the outside world. A continuous stream of power flowed along the surrounding array, maintaining the operation of the city's defensive array.
"Senior Jiang, you've arrived."
Yu Tunzhou turned around, his gaze falling on Han Wuj iu, and said with great interest, "You, like the Alliance of Immortals, are also plotting against this immortal's remains?"
Han Wuj iu's gaze was fixed on the immortal's remains, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He realized that he had underestimated these remains—the remains of at least a True Immortal!
Moreover, he was High Antiquity True Immortal!
Hearing Yu Tunzhou's question, and recalling Jiang Wenxuan's counter-question not long ago, Han Wuj iu sighed inwardly. It was truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.
These days, even for a small External Scenery, they dare to question themselves like this.
He glanced to the side, about to speak, but then his gaze froze, and he stared blankly at Yu Tunzhou.
He suddenly shuddered and took a step back in shock. "You—you—you actually managed to escape from the clutches of three demon gods?!"
"No! It's that those three demon gods couldn't find you?!"
Yu Tunzhou's gaze sharpened, then he smiled and said, "It seems you not only know me, but also those who are my enemies."
Han Wuj iu a chill run down his spine and kept retreating, only to be warned by Jiang Wenxuan's aura behind him.
He had no choice but to stop and, forcing himself to speak, said, "My name is Han Wuj iu. I am a disciple of the Heavenly Net Dharma Lineage sects. I was fortunate enough to meet the True Lord in the Heavenly Court. The True Lord comes from the Daode Lineage, and his status is extremely noble. How could I, Han, not recognize him?"
"As for those who are enemies of Dao and Virtue, I, Han, have absolutely no connection with them!"
He raised his hand, pointed to the sky, and said sincerely, "True Lord, please don't misunderstand! I only heard about this from elsewhere. If I had known that True Lord were still in the Northern Plains, I would never have set foot here!"
The two members of the Luo Household standing nearby were deeply shaken.
Has Yu Tunzhou's reputation reached such a level that even a Grandmaster from beyond the heavens keeps his distance and dares not set foot in his territory?
This Daode Lineage ----
Could it be the legendary Grand Purity Dao and Virtue Temple, one of the Three Pure Ones ancestral temples of Daoist School has been lost for a long time?!
"You don't seem honest, I don't believe you." Yu Tunzhou shook his head. "I'd rather believe what I found than what you say."
He raised his hand, and a sinister chain emerged from his Niwan Palace, wrapping around his palm.
The temperature in the underground chamber dropped instantly, and even Luo Xuanyue couldn't help but shiver, as if her entire body and Primordial Spirit had been frozen.
"[Soul-Binding Chain]?!"
Han Wuj iu gasped in shock.
This guy even possesses a weapon specifically designed to imprison the Primordial Spirit?!
Is this the essence of the Three Pure Ones of Daoist School?
Thump!
Han Wuj iu decisively used his life-saving technique, kneeling down on the spot and speaking True Intention, "True Lord! I truly knew nothing about this! The reason I came to the Luo Household was because Ge Cang of the Northern Mysterious Sect sent me a message saying that the Luo Household possessed the remains of an immortal! He also said that you have been targeted by three demon gods and your life is nearing its end, which is why I had this idea and came to the Northern Plains!"
"Ge Cang of the Northern Mysterious Sect?" Yu Tunzhou memorized the name and laughed, "You can't escape even if you try. You'd better release the Primordial Spirit restriction."
Well done. I'll ask you a few questions and then spare your life for now.
Looking at the Soul-Binding Chain that had already burrowed into his forehead, Han Wuj iu was terrified.
This object, in the hands of those in the Underworld, could even forcibly seize the soul of a Golden Immortal, let alone someone who is far from being Half-Immortal.
Faced with this object, he was even deprived of the option to self-destruct and preserve a sliver of his soul for reincarnation.
After weighing the options, Han Wuj iu his teeth, released the restriction on his Primordial Spirit, and allowed the Soul-Binding Chain to enter his Niwan Palace.
Only then did he realize that the Soul-Binding Chain contained the remnant soul of a Ghost Immortal immortal!
This remnant soul of Ghost Immortal immortal used the Soul-Binding Chain to lock up his Primordial Spirit.
After receiving a guarantee from Youyin Rogue Person, Yu Tunzhou finally spoke, "What is your relationship with the Alliance of Immortals?"
"Reporting to True Lord, I have absolutely no connection with the Alliance of Immortals. They wield considerable power beyond the heavens, being a coalition of many forces, but their reputation is utterly ruined. Exploiting lower cultivators and refining the mortal realm—this is their norm!"
Han Wuj iu knelt on the ground, speaking rapidly, "Those people are all burdened with karma. Although my Heavenly Net Daoist Sanctuary is not Daoist School sect of Daoism, I disdain to associate with them!"
Yu Tunzhou glanced at the man and said, "Aren't you also burdened by karma?"
Han Wuj iu said helplessly, "My karma comes from exploring secret realms, and has nothing to do with exploiting living beings."
"Where does karma come from exploring secret realms? Do you still dare to deceive me, Yu?"
Yu Tunzhou frowned, but the karma on this person was indeed quite different from anything he had seen before.
Han Wuj iu quickly explained, "In layman's terms, it's grave robbing."
Yu Tunzhou was taken aback. "The secret realm you're talking about, is it the Inner Heaven and Earth created by Immortals and Gods, the blessed land of ancient Immortals and Gods?"
Han Wuj iu said awkwardly, "Outside the heavens, these are collectively called Immortal Heaven."
Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but re-examine the man.
Unexpectedly, I encountered Hu Bayi from the cultivation Immortal Realm.
Jiang Wenxuan suddenly asked, "Where did you get that ' Universe in the Sleeve' technique you used earlier?"
Yu Tunzhou asked in surprise, "You know the great Divine Ability of 'the universe Universe in the Sleeve '?"
"It's only a fragment, not the complete 'Universe in the Sleeve," Han Wuj iu said. "Years ago, I mistakenly entered an unidentified Immortal Heaven and accidentally obtained a fragment of this great Divine Ability. After investigation, it was determined that the one who possessed it was Immortals and Gods from the Five Villages Temple."
"A remnant of the Universe in the Sleeve?" Yu Tunzhou suddenly became interested.
I wonder if the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic) can be used to supplement it.
If we were to complete the story—would it be possible to meet that ancestor of Earth Immortal?
Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked in confusion, "You dug up the grave of a certain Immortals and Gods in Five Villages Temple, and the people from Five Villages Temple haven't come looking for trouble with you?"
He had encountered a Immortals and Gods from Five Villages Temple in the Heavenly Court, and not long ago, when the Xie Household was destroyed, a Grandmaster from Five Villages Temple also came to cause trouble.
This lineage has clearly not been severed.
"Five Villages Temple?" Han Wuj iu shook his head and said, "True Person, you may not know this, but Five Villages Temple is long gone, and even that legendary Ginseng Fruit Tree has withered away."
"The current Five Villages Temple is nothing more than a scoundrel who has usurped the name of the Daoist tradition," yet they are still one of the founders of the Alliance of Immortals.
Yu Tunzhou pondered, "No wonder the disciples of Five Villages Temple I've met so far have none of the demeanor one would expect from a high-ranking Daoist Daoist School."
Han Wuj iu hurriedly agreed, "What the True Lord says is true. These beasts, using the name of Five Villages Temple, are doing things that are against heaven and reason, and oppressing all living beings. If the old immortal of Five Villages Temple were alive, he should have killed those wicked beasts first, not had time to cause trouble for me."
"Tell me, what do you want with this remains?"
"By refining this remains, even a minor being could contend with Immortals and Gods— "
"Continue."
Sensing the warning coming from his Primordial Spirit, Han Wuj iu dared not conceal it and immediately said, "This kind of High Antiquity Immortal Physique is not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the Central Plains Heavenly Dao, making it the best vessel. If the Immortals and Gods from beyond the heavens can receive assistance, their Primordial Spirit can descend and hide inside before the Heavenly Dao discovers them."
Seeing that Yu Tunzhou did not react, Han Wuj iu had no choice but to continue, "I originally intended to use this immortal's remains as a foundation to guide the sect's patriarch to descend, but who would have thought that before I even got my hands on it, I would encounter you, True Lord."
Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked, "Are you on good terms with Ge Cang?"
"Just a casual acquaintance," Han Wuj iu thought for a moment. "This person is from the Alliance of Immortals, but I've cooperated with him a few times, and he's fairly disciplined."
"What benefits did he receive from sending this message to you?" Yu Tunzhou asked.
Han Wuj iu shook his head and said, "He only said that I owe him a favor."
Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but praise, "A rare good person. This person must be very loyal and righteous. He told you such valuable information, but only made you owe him a favor that is negligible and you don't even know if you can repay it."
Han Wuj iu froze in place.
He couldn't help but recall Ge Cang's character and fell into deep thought.
Yu Tunzhou didn't ask the man any more questions, but instead looked at Jiang Wenxuan: "It seems we've arrived at the perfect time."
Jiang Wenxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you really think that the Luo Household is the target of this Alliance of Immortals?"
"Making a big show of it doesn't seem like it. But whether it is or isn't, I don't care. I'll just suppress them all," Yu Tunzhou said, narrowing his eyes. "What I really care about is that note from earlier."
Who still knows about your relationship with the Luo Household?
"An Ruyu, the Holy Maiden of the Incense-Smelling Cult."
Upon hearing this name, the expressions on their faces changed.
Luo Xuanyue seemed thoughtful. Come to think of it, there seemed to be rumors circulating in the martial arts world that Great Hero Yu had once had close ties with the Incense-Smelling Demoness.
"It was her?"
Jiang Wenxuan rarely showed such a strange expression.
What is your relationship with her?
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Tunzhou's lips twitched slightly; he immediately understood the other party's meaning.
Jiang Wenxuan thought for a moment and said, "In the past thousand years of the Incense-Smelling Cult, none of the Holy Maidens have lived past the age of twenty."
Yu Tunzhou stared in astonishment.
In the Incense-Smelling Cult, the Holy Maiden is generally one of the most powerful and influential figures.
In the past thousand years, has not a single saint lived past the age of twenty?
"And among all the saintesses, this woman's identity is somewhat special."
Jiang Wenxuan said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, she can contact all the old mothers, which has never happened before in the history of the Incense-Smelling Cult!"
"You must be careful when associating with her; she attracts the attention of too many powerful Immortals and Gods and deities."
Yu Tunzhou nodded. "Senior Jiang, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
He continued, "Since even An Ruyu has arrived, it proves that the situation in Northern Plains most likely involves a struggle above the level of Immortals and Gods."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yu Tunzhou's mind, and he fell into deep thought and recollection. After a moment, he looked up and said, "I think I know what it is."
He suddenly remembered his encounter with An Ruyu in the Eastern Wilderness before he arrived in the Heavenly Court.
Looking back now, almost all of his chance encounters and meetings with An Ruyu were related to a Human Emperor.
Fragments of the Human Emperor Seal from Pinghu County.
The Human Emperor Grotto-Heaven in Northern Plains.
They met at Floating Hill Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness.
What about this time?
"What guess?" Jiang Wenxuan couldn't help but ask.
Yu Tunzhou remained silent, gazing quietly at the remains of the immortal before him.
Remains of immortals from the early to middle period of High Antiquity ----
That was during the reign of the Human Emperor!
He slowly said, "Senior Jiang, have you ever heard of the Human Emperor?"
Jiang Wenxuan frowned and asked, "Bloodline of the Human Emperor?"
The two members of the Luo family were also shocked. The remains their ancestor had obtained were related to the ancient human emperor?!
Jiang Wenxuan shook his head and said, "Nowadays, most families, to varying degrees, possess the bloodline of Human Emperor, especially the top clans with a history of over ten thousand years."
Historical records state that the Human Emperor had a lineage that continued to exist. After the Human Emperor disappeared, all the major powers in the world supported a descendant of the Human Emperor, vying for the throne, which led to war breaking out on the verge of erupting.
Finally, the Sage Emperor Yu was born and pacified the world.
"Those descendants of the Human Emperor were all kept hidden by their respective families, but some of them left behind their bloodlines and eventually integrated into their Lineage lineages."
"My Jiang Household Human Emperor's bloodline, and even within me flows the Human Emperor's bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Han Wuj iu's expression changed. Did these families of the Central Plains really have such backgrounds?
This is no longer a spur-of-the-moment approach.
Yu Tunzhou had never heard of such a secret before; he never imagined that High Antiquity Aristocratic Clan could be so ruthless.
But he still shook his head and said, "It's different."
Back when they were at Floating Hill Mountain, the Immortal Cauldron mentioned that the Human Emperor still had a bloodline hidden in the world.
Moreover, this bloodline possesses the Nether Passage method of communicating with the Inner Heaven and Earth the Human Emperor!
Even the Immortal Cauldron didn't know the whereabouts of this bloodline, only that they eventually disappeared in the Northern Plains.
An Ruyu has now reappeared in Northern Plains, and there is a considerable probability that it is because of this bloodline.
Has this bloodline been reborn?
Or do various extraterrestrial forces possess the means to find this bloodline?
Yu Tunzhou looked at the immortal's remains again, his eyes flashing. "We shouldn't be the ones in a hurry right now."
"No one knows yet that Senior Jiang and I have arrived in Northern Plains."
"After all, in their eyes, I was trapped in a deadly situation, surrounded by three demon gods, and there was no chance of survival."
"In this way----"
"We just need to wait and see."
Yu Tunzhou smiled and said, "Let's see what these guys from the Alliance of Immortals are plotting."
Jiang Wenxuan nodded. "The enemy is in the open, while you and I are in the shadows. Let's wait and see in two days. If the people from the Alliance of Immortals really come then, I will prove the saying 'Heaven and Earth favor us' true."
Yu Tunzhou glanced at Han Wuj iu beside him and chuckled, "I feel like this guy is also part of their scheme. Perhaps we can use him as bait to lure out a few members of the Alliance of Immortals."
That day.
A mountain peak a hundred miles away from Xuanbei Commandery.
Lü Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, with the two people behind him both closing their eyes and regulating their breathing.
Suddenly, a man behind Lü Qingxuan seemed to have received some message and opened his eyes.
Lü Qingxuan didn't even lift his eyelids, and asked indifferently, "Han Wuj iu succeed?"
"Mr. Lü, Han Wuj iu of [Heaven-Stealing Gate] is still unresponsive," the man said in a deep voice. "Mr. Luo of [Jixia Academy] has calculated that he is still in the city, seemingly encountering some trouble, and has not yet succeeded."
Lü Qingxuan opened his eyes and frowned. "The Luo Household here is just a small clan in a corner of the Northern Plains. Even with a great formation centered on the remains of an immortal protecting them, they shouldn't be able to stump Han Wuj iu."
"Back then, he dared to trespass on Dao Lord's tomb with only his outer realm External Scenery. Could he possibly capsize in this ditch now?"
"What a piece of trash."
He looked at the other person, his tone becoming more serious, and asked, "What's the Qingliao Zhang Household?"
"The three-day agreement is tomorrow, and powerful figures from each family are already heading towards Xuanbei Commandery," the man replied quickly.
"I'm asking about the Xiao Household family. Have they made any moves?"
"Mr. Lü, the Xiao Household members haven't shown their faces since they joined the Zhang Household, let alone made a sound."
Lü Qingxuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable; he remained silent.
Another person spoke up, "Mr. Lü, could it be that Han Wuj iu sensed something and is deliberately holding back?"
"It doesn't matter."
Lü Qingxuan stood up, his Daoist robes fluttering even without wind. He said calmly, "I originally wanted Han Wuj iu to stand in front of the stage and attract the Xiao Household's attention, but I overestimated his abilities."
"Very well, outsiders are outsiders after all, they're not of any use."
He flicked his sleeves, his gaze resolute, and looked towards Xuanbei Commandery: "I will gladly step into this fray!"
