Chapter 824 The Frustrated Holy Lord of Yao Guang Enters the Primordial Ancient Mine!
Chu Yang was not in a hurry to go to the Primordial Ancient Mine. After the matter of the Yao Guang Holy Land was over, the ownership of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron was no longer in dispute.
The imperial weapon was seized, and ownership was completely changed—such a thing had never happened before.
At best, even if an unparalleled expert forcibly seals the imperial weapon, there is still no way to completely control it.
Otherwise, with just the limited resources of a Great Emperor Clan and the Ancient Holy Land on the surface, people would have already been eager to make a move.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone one-on-one, then form alliances!
If supreme imperial weapons were so easy to change hands, even if five or six holy lands gathered together, they still couldn't snatch one imperial weapon.
Every imperial weapon bears the mark left by the emperor during his lifetime. There are only two ways to fully control an imperial weapon.
Either they are like the old god-king Jiang Taixu, with special bloodlines that resonate with the imprint of their ancestral emperors.
Alternatively, one can cultivate the Emperor's Scripture and use it to control the Emperor's Weapon.
It is precisely for this reason that the major holy lands and aristocratic families attach great importance to the Emperor's Scripture, and will spare no effort to recover even a small portion of it if it is leaked.
After all, this is only a small part that has been leaked, and there is no guarantee that another part will be leaked in the future.
In this way, perhaps in a few years, outsiders will be able to piece together the complete Imperial Scripture by collecting fragments from various places.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking. Even if the imperial weapon could be seized, what if someone actually attacked the imperial clan or a holy land that possesses the legacy of a great emperor?
When faced with a life-or-death crisis, the hidden strengths of the imperial clan's sacred land, which are unimaginable to ordinary people, will surely be revealed.
Should those sacred sites from the post-ancient era be able to stand on equal footing with the Great Emperor's lineage?
Even some of the past holy masters of certain aristocratic families were unaware of just how profound their family's foundation truly was.
Some ancient beings sealed within the divine source have not seen the light of day for countless years.
However, Chu Yang knew that in this era, all the hidden strengths of the Beidou Star Region would be revealed.
Whether it's for proving the Dao, conquering the path to immortality, or amidst darkness and turmoil, this is a chaotic era, but also the beginning of a golden age.
Regardless of the circumstances, Chu Yang's seizure of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and the severe damage inflicted on the Yao Guang Holy Land caused a sensation throughout the entire Beidou region.
In a short time, the Eastern Wilderness was filled with great turmoil. It is said that even the emperor of the supreme dynasty of the Central Plains personally came to the Eastern Wilderness.
However, Jiang Taixu only showed himself once, and the Supreme Emperor knew he was in a difficult position and did not dare to act rashly.
After this incident, the forces outside the Eastern Wilderness that had been stirring up trouble gradually quieted down.
With the old god-king protecting Chu Yang, and with the saints not appearing, no one dared to act recklessly.
The most frustrated person was naturally the Holy Lord Yao Guang. Apart from turning a blind eye and tacitly allowing the Hermit Clan to lend the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to the Dark Night King, he had not directly participated in the whole matter.
The Holy Lord was doing well, but overnight he became a commander without troops, and even he himself dared not leave the Holy City.
When the Holy Lord of Yaoguang learned that Chu Yang had seized the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, his first reaction was not anger, but fear!
The moment the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron appeared in the Eastern Wilderness, some things could no longer be kept secret.
Even the slowest person would connect the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron with the mysterious imperial weapon that the Dark Night King used to restrain and obstruct the divine furnace during the battle in the underground palace that night.
The Holy Lord of Yaoguang knew very well that once the Old God King attacked him, he would surely die!
That night in the underground palace, all thirteen Saint Lord-level figures perished. Was he the only one left to die?
To his surprise, the old god-king did not seek revenge, but simply kept him in the Holy City and prevented him from getting involved in the affairs of the Source City.
The Holy Lord of Yaoguang was initially somewhat relieved, but now he was completely dumbfounded.
The Yao Guang Holy Land was severely weakened, with its core strength and top experts almost completely wiped out. Without the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, he dared not leave the Holy City rashly!
Back when the Yao Guang Holy Land hadn't been born yet, those guys, including the Peacock King, were always plotting how to kill him.
Now he's all alone, isolated and helpless. Who knows if those guys have already set up an ambush outside?
Now that the old God-King has taken over the Holy City, everyone is giving him face and almost no one will make a move here.
Once you leave the Holy City, there will be no more worries!
In fact, the fact that the Holy Lord of Yaoguang had this mindset already showed that he had lost his composure.
If the Peacock King and the others really wanted to kill him, would they need to worry about the Old God King?
The old god-king never said that no one should make a move in the holy city. It was only out of respect for him that everyone tucked their tails between their legs.
But who are the Peacock King and his group?
On the one hand, these guys are unscrupulous in their actions; on the other hand, during the underground palace incident, they all remained hidden in the shadows. Although they did not take action, they did help deter some villains.
Most importantly, Yan Ruyu is the absolute core of the demon race in the Eastern Wilderness today. Although she is not enough to make all the powerful figures follow her lead, the older generation of demon race experts are willing to stay by her side.
In their eyes, Yan Ruyu was a descendant of the Great Emperor, with noble blood flowing through her veins, and was also the future hope of the demon race.
Chu Yang is Yan Ruyu's Daoist partner and the prince consort of the demon race, so in a sense...
Peacock King and his group are family with Chu Yang!
What is the relationship between Chu Yang and the Old God King?
That was a life-saving grace on several levels!
So let alone if they wanted to kill someone in the Holy City, even if they beat up a junior member of the Jiang family in front of Jiang Taixu, this old god-king would most likely not stop them.
The reason why the Peacock King and his entourage had not appeared for so long was that they were completely unaware of the turmoil happening outside.
The two supreme demon clan experts, along with the three great bandits including the Azure Dragon King, are currently busy somewhere!
Although the Holy Lord of Yaoguang was thrown into disarray, he still demonstrated the responsibility expected of a Holy Lord, and did not disregard the safety of the Holy Land for his own life or death.
After receiving the message from Yuancheng, he immediately made what, at least for now, seems to be the most correct decision...
Hidden from the world!
The Holy Land of Yao Guang will withdraw from the Eastern Wilderness stage and go into seclusion!
This can be seen as a desperate act, like a gecko shedding its tail, abandoning all assets outside the sacred mountain gate in order to preserve its heritage.
In this way, even if someone has designs on the Yao Guang Holy Land, they can't directly take action.
Moreover, when dealing with Chu Yang, the Yao Guang Holy Land suddenly had a mysterious Dao-Slaying King, which became an invisible deterrent.
No one knows whether this ancient holy site has other unknown secrets.
However, everything has two sides. Although Yao Guang Holy Lord's actions temporarily preserved Yao Guang Holy Land, they also created an opportunity for the Ruthless Clan.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang can take advantage of the opportunity of seclusion in the holy land to continue to bide his time and conceal his abilities.
The ruthless faction can also act freely and thoroughly erode and control the Yao Guang Holy Land at the fastest speed.
After all, the outside world will never know what happened in this secluded mountain gate. Perhaps it won't be long before the Yao Guang Holy Land reappears, but by then things will probably be completely different.
Chu Yang secluded himself in Yuan City for two months until he perfected the fourth divine treasure of the Dao Palace Secret Realm before emerging from seclusion again.
In the courtyard, besides the two descendants of the bandits and the Black Emperor, there were two more people.
Golden-Winged Roc King! Qin Yao!
Before Chu Yang went into seclusion, he had Li Heishui send a message to Yunze Prefecture, summoning Qin Yao and the Golden-Winged Roc King.
He planned to take the two of them into the Primordial Ancient Mine to see if he could find an opportunity for each of them to undergo further transformation!
The Golden-Winged Roc King possesses the bloodline of the Divine Roc, though it is quite diluted. However, its foundation is there, and if it can revert to its ancestral bloodline, its future achievements will be limitless.
Although Chu Yang and Qin Yao haven't officially confessed their feelings, everyone already knows about it, including their friends.
In fact, Chu Yang knew that Qin Yao must have some thoughts about his relationship with Yan Ruyu, but her deep-seated inferiority complex made her lack confidence and courage to fight for anything.
If Qin Yao were among ordinary cultivators, she would definitely be considered a prodigy.
However, in this era of great competition and the rise of many outstanding individuals, she was far too ordinary compared to other remarkable people.
He has no extraordinary physique, no powerful bloodline, and no supreme inheritance.
Chu Yang, who was familiar with the original plot, knew very well the demon's personality. On the surface, she didn't say anything, but inside she was holding back a lot of energy and was constantly struggling with herself.
In the story, wasn't it precisely because of this that she desperately cultivated, ultimately going astray and dying?
Chu Yang naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen; he would even pave a way for Qin Yao!
So what if you don't have a special bloodline or constitution?
Wasn't the Ruthless Great Emperor also a mortal?
Actually, the simplest way is to find Xiao Nannan first, and then take Qin Yao directly to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, using Xiao Nannan's "Dao Fruit" to awaken more of the Ruthless Great Emperor's consciousness.
Then he would communicate with her and make Qin Yao his successor.
Chu Yang believed that as long as he asked, the Ruthless Great Emperor would not refuse.
However, Qin Yao's personality is not suited to the path of the Ruthless Earth, a path where everyone is an enemy and it is too extreme.
It's not necessary to follow the path of those who came before. If the Ruthless Great Emperor could forge a path, so can Chu Yang.
Seeing Chu Yang come out, the group of people who were chatting all turned their attention to him, while Black Emperor looked excited.
It figured that there shouldn't be any more surprises now, and it would be able to enter the Primordial Ancient Mine soon!
Clinging to the coattails of a great emperor and venturing into forbidden zones of life gave him a feeling of returning to the past, following the Great Emperor Wushi.
Of course, the most important thing is...
The Primordial Ancient Mine is full of treasures!
Qin Yao, on the other hand, had a smiling face. In front of Chu Yang, this female enchantress was constantly teasing him, acting carefree as if she had no worries at all.
The fairy parted her red lips slightly, her cheeks flushed, and her alluring eyes sparkled as she said, "Young Emperor Chu, I can understand why you sent Little Peng King over."
"Could you take me with you to the Primordial Ancient Mine? Or perhaps you just want to have some fun with your sister when you're feeling lonely?"
Li Heishui and Liu Kou exchanged a glance, then chuckled knowingly.
Black Emperor and Golden-Winged Roc King acted as if I hadn't heard anything. The former was eyeing the treasures in the Primordial Ancient Mine, while the latter was all muscle and single-mindedly wanted to overthrow the heavens.
For the Golden-Winged Roc King, even the most beautiful woman is just a pretty face; she only affects his speed in drawing his sword.
Chu Yang replied with a half-smile, "Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little tempted..."
"But in my hometown, if a maidservant sneaks into her master's bed, she'll be drowned in a pig cage!"
Qin Yao rolled her eyes with a charmingly seductive expression, then lightly spat out, "Who's your maid?"
Then, looking puzzled, she asked, "What is 'drowning in a pig cage'?"
Chu Yang waved his hand, "We'll talk about it another time!"
"Now that everyone's here, let's set off!"
The four people and the dog had been waiting for him to say that, so they didn't need to make any preparations beforehand. They left the courtyard and headed out of the city.
Countless eyes in Yuan City were watching their courtyard. As the young emperor Chu was about to enter the forbidden zone of life, the cultivators in the city began to spread the news.
Although the people from the major holy lands and aristocratic families had withdrawn, they were still keeping an eye on Chu Yang's movements through some smaller sects.
Upon leaving Yuan City, Chu Yang immediately activated a Void Array Plate, and the five people and one dog traversed the void and departed.
Meanwhile, in the Holy City of the Northern Region.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, shrouded in a hazy mist, stood outside the demon clan's palace for a long time before finally stepping inside.
The Jiang family.
Ye Fan walked into a grand hall, the swirling snowstorm behind him. He looked at Jiang Taixu, who had changed since his recovery, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Although Jiang Taixu was still in his prime at this time, he had a full head of white hair, supposedly due to his efforts to forcibly prolong the lifespan of Fairy Caiyun.
"Senior...you..."
Ye Fan opened his mouth, about to say something, when Jiang Taixu raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "I know my days are numbered, so you don't need to say anything more."
"Tell me, how many kilograms of Origin are needed for the Sacred Body to break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm?"
Before Ye Fan went to Yunze Prefecture, the old God King told him that he would help him break through the Four Extremes.
And he will personally protect him, break the curse, and restore the severed path of the Holy Body!
Therefore, Ye Fan was not surprised to hear these words. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said, "Ten million jin!"
This was actually a relatively conservative estimate, because he still had some savings, and if he added tens of millions of kilograms of resources, he could ensure that everything would go smoothly.
If it were any other holy lord-level figure who heard of such a huge number, they would probably say on the spot that they were powerless to help.
Although few holy lands and families have the same profound foundation as Yaochi Holy Land, they can still produce tens of millions of catties of Origin.
But that would definitely cause serious injury...
After all, financial resources are an important factor in measuring the overall strength of a force.
However, now that the Jiang family has welcomed back the God King, the tens of millions of catties of source material are no longer so important. As long as the old God King stands there, that is the Jiang family's most solid foundation!
Jiang Taixu had clearly guessed that the number Ye Fan gave was a conservative estimate, so he said directly, "As I just said, my days are numbered..."
"So in addition to helping you pass the test, I've also paved a path for you."
"A marriage alliance with the Wind Clan!"
"If this matter is accomplished, even if I die and my life is extinguished in the future, the Wind Clan can still be your support."
Jiang Taixu paused slightly before continuing, "Don't leave the Holy City during this time. I will have the Jiang family gather the ten million jin of Origin as soon as possible."
Ye Fan took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, senior!"
In the midst of the turmoil in the underground palace, he was willing to offer his treasures and lend a helping hand, initially with the intention of repaying a debt of karma.
Unexpectedly, this white-robed god-king cared for him so much; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was being groomed as a personal disciple! (End of Chapter)
