Dual Imperial Inheritances, Apology and Compensation or Immortal War

"Damn it!"

Only after leaving the Yun Family far behind did Luo Yan smash a massive boulder beside him with one punch.

Shattered stones flew everywhere, smoke and dust billowing.

His eyes were bloodshot, fury surging straight to the crown of his head!

"Brother Luo Yan, you..." Luo Qingyu wanted to step forward and comfort the man she loved, but the baleful intent radiating from Luo Yan forced her back.

She was somewhat afraid. She had never seen Brother Luo Yan like this before. He felt utterly unfamiliar, as though he had become someone else entirely!

"Luo Yan, there is no need for this."

"We already know where that ruin is located."

"Once you obtain all of Heaven River Great Emperor's inheritance, that person will be nothing more than a stepping stone beneath your feet."

An aged voice slowly rang out in Luo Yan's heart. It was the mysterious old grandfather within the Jade Pendant.

He had once been a servant of Heaven River Great Emperor. His name was Dragon Elephant Saint. Heaven River Great Emperor had perished in that great battle of ancient times and was ultimately buried in a tomb within the Heaven River Realm.

In order for someone to carry on his inheritance, he had set up a series of trials, and Dragon Elephant Saint was the arbiter of those trials.

"Teacher, why didn't you make a move and teach him a lesson just now?"

"If you had acted, Teacher, we would not have suffered such a disaster!"

Luo Yan was still extremely furious. As a Fortune's Child, he had risen against the heavens, his path smooth and unimpeded as he charged forward in triumph!

Today's humiliation had truly left him stifled beyond measure.

Dragon Elephant Saint paused, as if he had not reacted in time.

After a long silence, he said helplessly, "It is not that I did not wish to act."

"It is that if I had acted, both of us would have died."

"I could sense that a peak Sage was hidden in that space earlier. He should have been that person's Dao Protector in the shadows."

Another sigh sounded, though this one carried more disappointment than anything else.

The inheritor of Heaven River Great Emperor's legacy whom he had chosen had undergone such a drastic change in temperament after being defeated only once.

With such a temperament, was he truly worthy of inheriting his master's legacy?

Dragon Elephant Saint shook his head with a bitter smile. He chose to console himself, believing that Luo Yan would surely grow after experiencing failure.

"The Divine Son of the Returning Origin Holy Land..."

"He seems to possess a Sacred Body Bloodline as well."

Dragon Elephant Saint was now merely a remnant soul, but he had survived from ancient times until now.

He knew that the Returning Origin Holy Land was far more than what it appeared to be on the surface!

Once again, he recalled Su Changge's sword strike.

It tore through the void, surged into the heavens, and slew a Venerable—peerless beyond compare.

"As expected, the great era has arrived."

At the same time, within the Yun Family.

"Many thanks to the Divine Son for your assistance!"

"Xin Yan is endlessly grateful!"

Yun Xinyan gave Su Changge a graceful bow. If not for Su Changge this time, this matter would not have been resolved so easily.

She had never felt much for Luo Yan to begin with, and this mistaken marriage bond had finally come to an end.

"It is nothing. Now that the matter has been settled, I will go cultivate first."

He had completed two choice missions and raised his own strength! Most importantly, there were still future opportunities to be had. A Fortune's Child really was too good!

Yun Xinyan watched Su Changge's departing figure, her beautiful eyes brimming with admiration.

"Even though Lord Divine Son is already so powerful, he still cultivates diligently."

"Yun Xinyan, if you do not work hard, you will not even be able to see Lord Divine Son's back!"

In Yun Xinyan's heart, Su Changge was simply too outstanding. She did not ask for anything more; even being able to continue watching his back was enough to satisfy her.

A true dragon soaring above the nine heavens would eventually rise into the sky, tear open the universe, and forge a legend of its own.

If Su Changge knew she was thinking this way, he would definitely give her a thumbs-up. A master of self-generated logic truly is terrifying!

Inside the room.

Su Changge activated an isolation array.

He then summoned the system panel.

Heaven Flipping Palm: Hundred Battles Great Emperor's signature move. One palm swept across three thousand continents; with a flip of the hand, clouds overturned and the heavens changed.

"It's actually Hundred Battles Great Emperor's cultivation method!"

The story of Hundred Battles Great Emperor was filled with legendary color.

In his youth, his talent had been mediocre—he could even be called trash. He only reached the Spirit Body Realm at fifteen, the Spirit Sea Realm at twenty-eight, the Divine Sea Unobstructed Realm at fifty, and had barely reached the Purple Mansion Realm at fifty-nine...

Yet such an almost worthless cultivator had become the master of an era's Heavenly Mandate.

Hundred Battles Great Emperor had merely been an independent cultivator. From his emergence into the world to becoming a Great Emperor, he had endured countless trials, countless temperings between life and death!

He constantly challenged powerful opponents, coming within a hair's breadth of death countless times. Whenever he was heavily injured, he would flee far away to recover. Once his injuries healed, he would continue cultivating.

He fought after a hundred defeats, nurturing battle with battle.

Such an ordinary, unremarkable man had ultimately slain every enemy on the path to contend for the Heavenly Mandate and proved his Dao with his fleshly body.

His terrifying physical body made him one of the strongest among Great Emperors, and later generations respectfully named him the Hundred Battles Great Emperor.

"The Qi and Blood power of the Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo is already overwhelmingly powerful. I can fully bring this cultivation method to an even greater height!"

"Extract Heaven Flipping Palm."

Buzz!

A streak of flowing light instantly drilled into his mind.

It was as though tiny figures were demonstrating all manner of moves within his mind, while obscure Great Dao Runes flashed continuously through his consciousness.

In just a moment, he had mastered the Heaven Flipping Palm.

"Condense."

As Su Changge murmured, he opened his palm. A terrifying Great Dao aura permeated it, his Qi and Blood like dragons, surging like a vast ocean!

The protective restrictions around him flickered madly at that moment, as if they had become extremely unstable under the arrival of such immense power!

If he unleashed this palm strike, this entire area would instantly be reduced to dust!

"But what exactly is this portion of Heaven River Great Emperor's inheritance?"

He did not know much about Heaven River Great Emperor.

That Great Emperor was exceedingly mysterious, and there were not many legends or tales concerning him.

After Su Changge finished extracting it, a dazzling sphere of light appeared in the void.

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Heaven River Great Emperor's inheritance, Concentration Freedom Art: Commands the spiritual energy within the body, transforms turbidity into clarity, calms the heart and frees the mind, nourishes the meridians, and increases the speed at which spiritual energy circulates within the body.

"Not bad. It seems to be a cultivation method."

What Su Changge did not know was that the outside world had already descended into chaos.

Within the Heaven River Realm, news of that terrifying battle had already spread to countless people.

"They say it was some great figure from the North Abyss Dao Domain!"

"A friend of mine is a maidservant of the Yun Family. She said that young great figure looked like an immortal descending to the mortal world, handsome as though he had stepped out of a painting!"

"You have no idea how terrifying that battle was! I felt like the world was ending!"

"That lord is too terrifying! The Heaven River Realm is about to change!"

"..."

Many great powers within the Heaven River Realm were instantly thrown into an uproar and tried every possible means to establish a connection with Su Changge.

After all, with Su Changge's strength and status, a mere flick of his finger could stir up a heaven-shrouding storm throughout the Heaven River Realm!

However, compared to the Heaven River Realm, an even greater storm was brewing in the North Abyss Dao Domain.

Within the Returning Origin Ancestral Land.

The assembled ancestors had just finished watching the scene of Su Changge killing the Returning Unity Sect's steward.

"What should be done about this matter?"

"Hmph! I say the Returning Unity Sect is courting death!"

"That's right. Since the Returning Unity Sect wishes to bully the young with the old, we shall play with them properly!"

In the cultivation world, even if the younger generation erupted into a life-and-death battle, that was their own affair.

This was a rule tacitly accepted by the world. If every member of the younger generation were targeted by the older generation of hostile forces, would the younger generation still have any chance to grow?

Since the older generation of the Returning Unity Sect had intervened first, they would have to bear the retaliation from them!

Moreover.

Their Divine Son had only just gone out to gain experience when he encountered such a matter. They found it even more unforgivable!

The many ancestors below looked toward the three figures at the highest point, seemingly awaiting their decision.

Those three terrifying figures exuded an aura as ancient as the myriad heavens and ages. Even the slightest trace seemed capable of collapsing this world!

One of them spoke in a deep voice, "Issue a proclamation. A steward of the Returning Unity Sect, lacking all respect for his elders, bullied the Divine Son of our Sacred Ground."

"Now, give them two choices."

"First, offer an explanation satisfactory to the Returning Origin Holy Land, apologize, and provide compensation."

"Second."

At this point, his words paused, and a fierce glint flashed through his eyes.

"Begin an Immortal War."
