Chapter 414 The Heavenly Net Overlord Yunlan Sect! The Heavenly Emperor and the Ancient Heavenly Pal
Tianluo Continent.
Among the ten super continents in the Great Thousand Worlds, the Tianluo Continent is relatively special.
The former overlord of Tianluo Continent was the ancient Heavenly Palace, whose master was the Heavenly Emperor, one of the nine ancient emperors.
The Nine Ancient Emperors, any one of them, would stand at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds, and be among the best of the Saint-grade.
For this reason, the Tianluo Continent was once extremely glorious, but in the Great War of Cataclysm, the Heavenly Emperor and the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor perished together, and many powerful figures from the Ancient Heavenly Palace also died on the battlefield.
Since then, the ancient Heavenly Palace has ceased to exist, and the Tianluo Continent has been divided among various warlords.
It is worth mentioning that behind many of the visible forces in the Tianluo Continent, there are some super forces.
Only a power with a Heavenly Sovereign in charge can be called a super power.
These days, the supreme beings have reached a consensus that they will not personally go into battle to compete for territory and resources, but will compete solely through the forces they support.
This resulted in an extremely complex situation on the Tianluo Continent, and over time, even some powerful hegemonic forces lost interest in it.
After all, even if one could dominate Tianluo, one would offend many super powers, such as the Heavenly Sovereigns. It would be a thankless task to do so for a super continent that is gradually declining.
But this situation was suddenly broken a few months ago!
A force from a lower plane, called the Yunlan Sect, forcefully took over Tianluo and dominated the Tianluo Continent with almost invincible power.
Afterwards, some powerful forces wanted to cause trouble, but everyone underestimated the strength of the Yunlan Sect.
Three Heavenly Sovereign experts came to their door in succession, but they were all suppressed by the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect.
Although the other super powers share a common hatred, none of them are willing to be the first to take the lead. After all, they have been fighting each other openly and covertly for many years, and there is no longer any trust between them.
Under these delicate circumstances, the Yunlan Sect actually managed to firmly establish itself as the overlord of Tianluo!
However, everyone knows that how long they can hold this position is still an unknown.
After all, Yunlan Sect has offended many super powers and Heavenly Sovereigns in one fell swoop. If they reach a consensus, or if one of the powers takes the lead, given Yunlan Sect's meager resources, its final fate will likely be extremely tragic.
In a remote place on the Tianluo Continent, a spatial rift slowly appeared, and then three figures emerged from it.
"The King of Chu's methods are truly admirable!" Fan Wuye couldn't help but exclaim.
From the moment they entered the space passage on the Western Continent until their arrival on the Tianluo Continent, the entire process took less than a day.
Moreover, that spatial passage was extremely stable. Fan Wuye had witnessed the spatial techniques of the clan's Saint-level elders, but compared to Chu Yang, it was far inferior.
He even felt that Chu Yang's mastery of spatial power was likely already comparable to that of his teacher.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's find a city first and learn about the situation on the Tianluo Continent."
Soon, the three arrived at a nearby city.
Intelligence merchants are present everywhere, and Chu Yang only spent some Supreme Spirit Liquid to easily find out the current situation of Tianluo Continent.
First, there are the local forces of Tianluo Continent. Most of these forces have the backing of super powers, so they are naturally quite confident when facing Yunlan Sect.
But in the end, they were killed or maimed by the Yunlan Sect. The strong among them either fled Tianluo Continent or died directly at the hands of the Yunlan Sect's experts.
The remaining small group of forces were already being ostracized and suppressed on a daily basis. The Yunlan Sect used a combination of firmness and leniency, adopting a conciliatory strategy towards these forces, mainly focusing on winning them over.
In most of these cases, the participants chose to join the Yunlan Sect. Only a very small number chose to remain in their own corner of the world and keep to themselves, without interfering with the Yunlan Sect. The Yunlan Sect did not make things difficult for them.
Secondly, there is the current scale of the Yunlan Sect. The sect's influence is almost spread throughout the entire Tianluo Continent, and there are many powerful figures in the sect. However, no outsiders have ever joined at the Heavenly Sovereign level.
Some people may have become interested in the Yunlan Sect, but they are all mindful of the sect's situation and are taking a wait-and-see approach, not rushing to join.
Finally, there were the three Heavenly Sovereigns who had attacked back then. After Chu Yang learned about it, he found out that Xiao Xiao had actually suppressed those three guys in the moats of three important cities!
Good guy!
That's truly killing someone and destroying their spirit!
The dignified Heavenly Sovereign was suppressed under the moat and subjected to constant onlookers, a truly humiliating disgrace.
After leaving the city, Fan Wuye hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "Does the King of Chu intend to take action against the Yunlan Sect?"
Seeing his expression, Chu Yang asked with some suspicion, "Brother Fan seems to care a lot about the Yunlan Sect?"
The lineage of tomb guardians lives in seclusion, guarding the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array on the Northern Wilderness Continent year-round. They are detached from worldly affairs and have almost no connection with outside forces.
Therefore, when Fan Wuye asked him about his attitude towards the Yunlan Sect, Chu Yang could tell that this person seemed to have some connection with the Yunlan Sect.
Fan Wuye glanced at his junior sister behind him, chuckled, and said, "King Chu, please don't be offended. On our way to find you, we passed through Tianluo Continent."
"My junior sister was playful and got separated from me in the Tianluo Continent. By chance, she met the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect."
"Speaking of which, we actually owe her a favor..."
At this point, Fan Wuye paused, then clasped his hands in a sincere gesture and said, "If the Yunlan Sect has offended the King of Chu, please show mercy!"
Hearing his words, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, which left Fan Wuye somewhat puzzled.
Chu Yang looked at the girl behind him and asked softly, "Are you and Xiaoxiao friends?"
When the girl heard him call out Xiaoxiao's name, her beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and then she nodded timidly.
Chu Yang thought for a moment, then took out a fragrant spiritual herb and said with a smile, "I'll give you this spiritual herb in exchange for telling me about you and Xiao Xiao, how about it?"
The girl glanced at the spirit herb in Chu Yang's hand, then turned to look at her senior brother. Seeing Fan Wuye nod, she carefully took the spirit herb and said:
"I... Xiaoxiao and I are good friends... She helped me fight off the bad guys... and introduced me to a really delicious friend..."
Is it delicious, my friend?
Upon hearing this description, Chu Yang was momentarily stunned.
Fan Wuye was speechless, coughed lightly, and explained, "Uh... Prince Chu... what Junior Sister is referring to is the Vice Sect Master of Yunlan Sect."
"He is not human; his true form seems to be somewhat unusual..."
Chu Yang suddenly realized that they were talking about Dan Tong!
At the same time, he increasingly felt that this girl's bloodline was extraordinary. Before leaving the Dou Qi Continent, he had personally concealed Dan Tong's true form.
Given the unique nature of Origin Qi, even a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign might not be able to detect the clues, aside from the three giants of the Great Thousand World.
This girl only has the cultivation level of the mid-stage Immortal Realm, yet she can see through the true form of the Pill Child, which shows that she is extraordinary.
"What's your name?" Chu Yang suddenly realized that the three of them had been traveling together all the way, and he still didn't know the girl's name.
The girl didn't look at the King of Chu, but stared at the herb in her hand, looking it over from left to right. Suddenly, she stuffed it into her mouth, chewing as she said:
"My name is Ye Tao, you can call me Little Peach!"
The girl's eyes were bright, as if the herb was a delicacy to her.
Chu Yang knew very well that although the spiritual herb smelled fragrant on the surface, it tasted extremely bitter, yet the girl ate it with great relish.
Clearly, this situation is also related to her bloodline.
Just like Zi Yan before, she eats medicinal herbs every day and transforms them into her own power through the digestion of bloodline power, constantly becoming stronger.
After Ye Tao finished eating all the spiritual herbs, she looked at Chu Yang expectantly, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
Chu Yang smiled and tossed her another spirit fruit, then said, "Let's go! We're going to the Yunlan Sect!"
Fan Wuye pulled his junior sister, who was munching on a spirit fruit with her head down, and looked at Chu Yang with a gentler gaze.
He valued Ye Tao highly, and Chu Yang's kindness towards Ye Tao also increased his goodwill towards Chu Yang.
Moreover, through the conversation between his junior sister and Chu Yang, Fan Wuye could tell that this King Chu did not seem to have any ill intentions towards the Yunlan Sect.
Even though it had already dominated the entire Tianluo Continent, the Yunlan Sect's mountain gate was not located in the central area, nor was it situated in a major city. Instead, it was located in a continuous mountain range in the eastern region of the Tianluo Continent.
The mountain range was thus renamed the Yunlan Mountain Range.
Chu Yang didn't bother to pay his respects to the mountain gate, nor did he even say hello. Instead, he took Fan Wuye and Ye Tao and used spatial teleportation to arrive at the main peak of the Yunnan mountain range.
Halfway up the mountain, as they walked, Fan Wuye tentatively asked, "King Chu, is what we're doing... perhaps inappropriate?"
Fan Wuye was a rather rigid and dogmatic person who valued rules and etiquette. He felt that the three of them had trespassed on the main peak of the Yunlan Sect without even saying hello, which would inevitably cause dissatisfaction.
A smile flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. "Brother Fan, what do you find amiss?"
Just kidding, he could even be called the retired emperor of the Yunlan Sect, how could he need to send a visiting card when returning to his own home?
Fan Wuye said, "Shouldn't we give them a heads-up before we visit?"
Chu Yang smiled and nodded. "You're right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at the summit and let out a soft shout.
The sound rolled on, the clouds in the sky shattered, and the entire Yunlan Mountain Range trembled slightly. The oppressive force made everyone in the mountain range feel a sense of unease.
Fan Wuye opened his mouth wide, looking completely bewildered.
Is this how you greet people?
Doesn't this sound more like a provocation and a challenge?
Greeting someone like that will probably make the Yunlan Sect see them as a major enemy soon, right?
Just as he had expected, as Chu Yang's voice fell, figures broke through the air and stood in the void, staring in their direction, ready for battle.
Just as Fan Wuye was getting anxious and wanted to explain to Chu Mian, a clear voice suddenly rang out.
"Step back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the powerful figures bowed towards the summit before dispersing in a flurry.
Immediately afterwards, a perfect couple, seemingly made in heaven, strolled down from the mountaintop hand in hand, arriving before the three of them in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Fan Wuye breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Little girl, just now..."
But the other party ignored him and instead bowed respectfully to Chu Yang, saying, "Master!"
Fan Wuye's jaw nearly dropped to the ground, his face contorted in disbelief.
Chu Yang glanced at him, his smile deepening.
This disciple of the Undying Lord is quite an interesting person.
In the vast world where scheming and intrigue among people have become the norm, people like Fan Wuye are even rarer than true dragons and phoenixes.
"Xiaoxiao!" Ye Tao suddenly cheered and darted out.
She called out "Xiaoxiao" but then grabbed Dantong next to her and bit down on her.
Dan Tong's lips twitched, and he looked at Fan Wuye with a dark expression.
Fan Wuye then came to his senses, gave an embarrassed smile, and quickly pulled his junior sister away.
"They don't even have a sect-protecting formation, they're so lazy, do they really think they've secured their position as the overlord of Tianluo?"
The smile in Chu Yang's eyes vanished. He looked at Dan Tong and Xiao Xiao, and reprimanded them without any politeness, "If we had come with ill intentions, you would probably be corpses by now!"
The appearances of Dan Tong and Xiao Xiao have changed drastically since they first left the Dou Qi Continent.
She has grown into a graceful young woman, exuding vitality, and her appearance is impeccable.
Dan Tong also transformed into a young man, resembling a handsome young gentleman.
However, at this moment, both of them looked like children who had done something wrong, hanging their heads and not daring to utter a sound.
Chu Yang didn't criticize them too much, and then the group headed towards the summit.
On the way, Chu Yang asked, "Why did you choose Tianluo Continent?"
Xiao Xiao said softly, "The Tianluo Continent is leaderless, with complex and intertwined factions, and the grudges between them have been brewing for a long time."
"Therefore, after Yunlan Sect dominates Tianluo, as long as it can withstand the first wave of attacks, those super powers will not come to cause trouble for a short period of time."
"We are confident that during this period, we can gain a foothold in the Yunlan Sect and grow rapidly."
"Moreover, Dan Tong and I have both received some fortuitous opportunities and will soon be able to break through to the Immortal Rank. At that time, we will be fully confident in dealing with those super forces."
Chu Yang nodded. Xiao Xiao's thinking was very clear. Moreover, Tianluo Continent was, after all, a super continent. As long as Yunlan Sect could take root here, it would be beneficial to its future development.
But there is still one crucial issue...
Chu Yang asked in a deep voice, "If a transcendent force were to intervene and support those super powers from behind, how would the Yunlan Sect respond?"
Xiao Xiao blinked, then said playfully, "Since Master instructed Miss to pass on a message to us, instructing us to act freely, if such a thing really happens..."
"I'm sure the master won't stand idly by!"
Chu Yang finally smiled. The group had arrived at the mountain peak, and Xiao Xiao led them into a grand hall.
Everyone took their seats, and Chu Yang asked again, "Now that you have conquered the Tianluo Continent, you must know something about the ancient Heavenly Palace, right?"
Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "We've naturally heard of the former overlord of Tianluo."
"Moreover... the opportunity we obtained came from the ancient Heavenly Palace!"
"Hmm?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
"Master, we have received the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Emperor!" Dan Tong said like a child who had gotten a good grade on a test and was waiting for praise.
Chu Yang's eyes narrowed. "The ancient Heavenly Palace's inheritance site seals the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. Even if he's not at his peak, with your current strength, you're probably no match for him, right?"
He always felt that something was wrong with this matter, after all, the reappearance of the ancient heavenly palace in the world was a matter of several hundred years later.
The premature appearance of this world could only be caused by human intervention.
Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong are merely Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns; how could they possibly possess such abilities?
Moreover, the sealed Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor is no pushover either! (End of Chapter)
