Ten Thousand Mountains, Great Emperor's Tomb Emerges

At the same time, inside the palace the Yun Family had arranged for Su Changge.

Knock, knock, knock.

After the knock, Yun Xinyan's voice rang out.

"Lord Divine Son, Luo Yan just left Wind Cloud City. It looks like he is headed toward the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"Understood."

Su Changge replied, and the door slowly opened.

White mist wafted out, like an immortal cave abode.

Strands of divine light flowed around him, like countless rosy clouds curling about him.

The divine light was hazy, and the breeze stirred his snow-white robes, lending him an air of profound mystery.

His expression was calm and indifferent, clearly lost in thought.

"After consolidating my cultivation with this Cultivation Method, my strength has increased again. As expected of a Great Emperor cultivation art."

After cultivating the Carefree Concentration Art, his control over spiritual energy had grown ever stronger.

What made Su Changge even happier was that Luo Yan, this Treasure Hunting Mouse, had finally set off on the road to seek treasure. His efficiency was quite high.

"This damned dog Heaven really is clever!"

The Ten Thousand Mountains contained countless peaks layered upon peaks, with many ancient creatures dwelling within. For ordinary people, finding an opportunity there was basically impossible.

Fortunately, he had a professional Treasure Hunting Mouse. Otherwise, he really might have been fooled.

Without hesitation, Su Changge walked toward the Flying Ship and activated its formation. Raging hurricanes rose in the void.

Rumble!

As the formation operated, the massive Flying Ship pursued the direction Luo Yan had taken.

At the same time, deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Luo Yan stood before the stone gate leading into the Great Emperor's Tomb.

"Luo Yan, isn't it too early to open the tomb now?"

"You lost the Jade Pendant, and you have not fully mastered the power to open the tomb. Opening it rashly will cause a tremendous disturbance."

"If someone discovers it—"

Before Dragon Elephant Saint could finish, Luo Yan interrupted him. "Master, that person has already obtained the Jade Pendant. If I do not open it now, I fear he will beat me to it!"

"Besides, even if it causes a huge commotion, we will be the first to enter. By the time they react, I will have already absorbed the inheritance!"

Luo Yan appeared extremely confident. He had planned this for a long time and was absolutely certain of it!

"But, Brother Luo Yan, the sect has already sent word for us to return. If we do not make it back in time—"

Luo Qingyu stood nearby, her face full of worry. The higher-ups of the Returning Unity Sect were already furious. If they delayed any longer before returning, they would definitely receive even harsher punishment!

"Qingyu! Things have come this far. Do you think I can still give up?"

"But, Brother Luo Yan—"

"Enough! Until I defeat the Divine Son of Returning Origin Holy Land, I will know neither peace in sleep nor comfort in food!"

Seeing this, Luo Qingyu said no more. She knew Luo Yan had suffered a tremendous blow. Ever since returning from the Yun Family, he had even remained in a dazed state.

After making a series of preparations, Luo Yan slowly began to chant an incantation.

Just as he uttered the final word.

Suddenly, a pressure that pierced through heaven and earth swept across the entire Heaven River Realm, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. The whole Heaven River Realm shook beneath this terrifying pressure.

Mountains and rivers in distant lands, sun and moon, hills and streams all overturned because of it. A single wisp of its aura was enough to awe all races beneath heaven and earth.

Many ancient hidden powers throughout the Heaven River Realm were awakened by this aura!

"A Great Emperor! This is the aura of a Great Emperor!"

Countless people wore expressions of terror and disbelief.

By all reason, this world no longer possessed the Heavenly Mandate. It was impossible for anyone to become a Great Emperor.

That could only mean a Great Emperor's ruin or tomb had emerged!

The eyes of countless figures from ancient powers gleamed with greed.

Great Emperor's Legacy—if they obtained it, they might even live another life!

With that thought, the void roared as countless streaks of light shot through the sky toward Luo Yan's location.

"The opening of this Great Emperor's Tomb is causing such a huge commotion?"

On the Flying Ship.

Su Changge stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in that direction with surprise.

Countless laws gathered and intertwined in that region. Within the resplendent Divine Radiance, a vague figure seemed to stand between heaven and earth, as though one person alone could hold up an entire world.

Simply standing there was enough to make all living beings in this world submit and worship.

"Divine Son, this is—"

Yun Xinyan had also recovered from her shock and looked at Su Changge excitedly.

Watching the changes in the region ahead, a smile appeared at the corner of Su Changge's lips.

Po Jun Ancestor had mentioned it as well. They had deduced that the Heaven River Realm might contain a Great Emperor's Tomb. If not for Luo Yan, that Treasure Hunting Mouse, everything would not have gone so smoothly.

Moreover, through the information contained in that Jade Pendant, Su Changge could be considered the person who understood this Great Emperor's Tomb best.

"Finally!"

"I will finally obtain the complete inheritance of the Heaven River Great Emperor!"

"Just wait, Su Changge! When the time comes, I will definitely kill you!"

Luo Yan's face was filled with excitement. As long as he successfully inherited the Heaven River Great Emperor's opportunity, he could make a comeback. Not only could he ascend to the summit, he could also wash away his past humiliation!

"Brother Luo Yan, this really is a Great Emperor's Legacy!" Luo Qingyu was also incomparably excited.

A Great Emperor, a terrifying powerhouse Above Saint! A legendary existence—who would not be tempted?

"Qingyu, wait for me outside."

Yet Luo Yan's words instantly plunged her into an icy abyss.

Sensing Luo Qingyu's shock, Luo Yan walked over and pulled her into an embrace. "Qingyu, you are the person I trust most."

"This disturbance is too great. It must have drawn the attention of many powers, so I want you to stay outside—"

"Is it to buy time for Brother Luo Yan?" Luo Qingyu asked, disappointment in her beautiful eyes. She could not believe that the man she loved would treat her this way.

"Yes."

"But when the time comes, I will share all of the Heaven River Great Emperor's inheritance with you."

"We will become the strongest geniuses in this world together, become an immortal couple, and hold our wedding atop the highest peak in the world."

Luo Yan held Luo Qingyu's face in both hands, his eyes brimming with affection.

Luo Qingyu was somewhat dazed, her heart even more moved. "Don't worry, Brother Luo Yan! I will definitely hold them back!"

"Mm, I believe in you. Wait for my return." After stroking Luo Qingyu's head, Luo Yan entered the ruins without looking back.

In truth, those words had merely been a delaying tactic. If he had not said that, would this little girl have helped cover his retreat?

A Great Emperor's inheritance—it belonged to a Great Emperor!

He would never share such a world-shaking legacy with anyone else. One Peerless Genius was enough, and that person could only be him!

Seeing the madness on Luo Yan's face, Dragon Elephant Saint felt somewhat helpless.

"Alas..."

"Did I truly misjudge him?"

He could not help but sigh. Things had come to this, and he could only pray that the outcome would be good.
