Chapter 402 Heavenly Venerable! ? Supreme Being?
Chapter 402 Heavenly Venerable! ? Supreme Being?
"However, this Gu Jiancheng is truly extraordinary. I suspect he may even already possess two Emperor Swords!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, the maid's expression changed drastically.
"Two Emperor's Swords?"
"How can this be?"
“Hehe, don’t forget, our Thousand Star Tower has a fragment of the Xuanyuan Sword, so I’m absolutely certain that I can’t be wrong about the aura of the Human Emperor Sword. It is indeed the aura of two Human Emperor Swords with different auras!” Donghuang Yuechan smiled, then her eyes narrowed slightly. “I think what he obtained in the Eight Desolate Domains must be even more powerful.”
"This Heaven-Defying Pearl is actually nothing special; in fact, half of its spatial laws have been extracted."
"Give him some time, and his achievements might truly be no less than those of Emperor Zhou!"
"Comparable to Emperor Zhou? Then Miss's expectations for him are really high. You know, Emperor Zhou is the chosen one, the reincarnation of a celestial lord from the upper realm!" The maid raised her eyebrows, even more astonished.
"Hehe, he's just a reincarnation of a Celestial Lord. Countless Celestial Lords perished in the Kunlun Realm in ancient times. In any case, I gave him 5 billion Saint Crystals, which can be considered as placing another bet. Once he returns to normal, I will have my family restrain the Wentian Pavilion. But if it's a conflict between the Hundred Clans, I won't interfere!"
Donghuang Yuechan smiled, and then disappeared into the secret chamber along with the Heaven-Covering Diagram and the Heaven-Defying Pearl.
Meanwhile, in the heavens beyond the heavens, there is a celestial palace of jade light, hanging high in the sky.
Countless wondrous phenomena of immortality floated and sank, resembling an endless illusion.
Meanwhile, inside one of the immortal palaces, Emperor Zhou knelt in the center of the hall, his arrogance from when he first arrived in Jiuli City gone.
Above him, inside the main hall, four figures, appearing and disappearing in the void, exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
At this moment, they all looked down at Emperor Zhou below, their expressions solemn.
"Grandmasters, Emperor Zhou was reckless. Please punish him!"
Emperor Zhou pursed his lips, then kowtowed and bowed.
"No, I don't think you've made a mistake!"
"We know you are eager to obtain the Emperor's Sword, but you have no idea how covetous the Thousand Star Tower is!"
“We had an agreement, and your descent to the mortal realm in your true form is tantamount to breaking the rules!”
"Furthermore, this will make Thousand Star Tower aware of our dependence on that Human Emperor Sword!"
"You, sigh!"
The four figures sighed in succession.
"My fellow disciples, Emperor Zhou's breach of discipline is due to my lax discipline. I am willing to accept the punishment along with you!"
At this moment, Di Cang, the terrifying powerhouse who had appeared in Jiuli City earlier, suddenly rushed into the main hall.
"Hmph, you're right, you really haven't disciplined him properly, do you think Di Zhou is truly invincible?"
“They haven’t contacted us for five thousand years. The resurgence of spiritual energy in the outer heavens is already strange. This may not be a sign of impending catastrophe, but rather a sign that the ancient gods and humans have succeeded in their conspiracy!”
"Our goal is to destroy the world, but right now, our strength isn't even enough to wipe out a single Thousand Star Tower!"
"We had already sensed something before. Not only did the aura of the Human Emperor's Sword appear in Jiuli City, but also the remnant spirit of an extremely powerful immortal from the Primordial Era!"
"Ancient gods have been reincarnated one after another, yet you allow this Emperor Zhou to act recklessly!"
"In that case, you and your master will be punished by going to the ancient battlefield to clean up the mess. It will also serve as a test of his character!"
At this moment, the figure sitting in the first seat raised his hand, and a spatial rift appeared behind Emperor Zhou and Emperor Cang.
"Disciple, obey your command!"
Emperor Zhou and the other man nodded, then turned and left.
"Senior Brother, was that divine thought that appeared in Jiuli City truly the Heavenly Venerable?"
After the two disappeared, the other three figures all looked at the first powerful figure.
"It happened so quickly and subtly that I can't determine its location, but we need to prepare for the worst!"
"Now, ancient battlefields are constantly appearing, and the legacies left behind by the ancient gods who perished there are also very likely to emerge. If it's just a Celestial Venerable, that's fine, but if an ancient god appears, then perhaps..."
The leading figure gazed at the heavens and sighed, saying, "Even the Immortal Realm is doomed!"
At this very moment, Gu Jiancheng had already returned to the Dao Palace with the master of the Supreme Dao Palace.
The era of the Hundred Races' War has ended, but the landscape is about to change dramatically.
Even the original top ten on the Prodigy Ranking suffered a loss of combat power due to the use of the Death Separation Talisman, and many prodigies from other races perished in the Eight Desolate Domains.
There are still large areas of Tianwaitian that have not been occupied, which will make the situation even more volatile.
The Supreme Holy Palace was undoubtedly the biggest winner this time, so they naturally needed to return as soon as possible. Whether to attack or defend, they needed to make some preparations early.
However, Song Qingshu and the others also went with Gu Jiancheng.
Song Qingshu is now Gu Jiancheng's number one fanboy, and is deeply impressed by Gu Jiancheng.
They saw Gu Jiancheng's potential and character. If there were a wise ruler, who would want to be one of the three rogue cultivators?
Gu Jiancheng naturally welcomed these people's arrival with open arms.
He is currently short of manpower, very short of manpower.
Moreover, these are powerful cultivators like Song Qingshu who have reached the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, Gu Jiancheng even asked Song Qingshu to contact other rogue cultivators. Now, he has enough financial resources to support more cultivators.
He wanted to become stronger, and not for the Supreme Holy Path Palace, but for his Taiji Sect!
Song Qingshu naturally had no objections. Along the way, more and more rogue cultivators joined them, so when they returned to the Supreme Saint Palace, the number of rogue cultivators had reached tens of thousands!
To Gu Jiancheng's surprise, after returning to the Supreme Saint Palace, he was summoned by the Palace Master alone.
"Senior, what are your orders?"
Gu Jiancheng looked at the Dao Palace Master standing in front of the forbidden area of the Dao Palace and asked with his hands clasped.
He still harbors considerable fear, or rather, suspicion, of the Lord of this Palace.
This person is truly mysterious, even more so than Donghuang Yuechan, whom he finds even more unfathomable.
"Jian Cheng, you don't need to be so wary of me."
“I understand that you doubt my identity, but I will not tell you everything at this time.”
"But you must know, I will not harm you, and everything I do is for you!"
"However, I am not strong enough right now, so I cannot reveal my identity. Otherwise, you and I will both perish!"
"So go ahead and do what you want to do, work hard to improve your combat power, and I'll take care of Tianwaitian for you."
At this moment, the master of the Dao Palace turned around and looked at Gu Jiancheng with an extremely solemn expression.
"I promise you, when you return from the ancient battlefield, I will tell you everything you want to know, including my identity."
"Go!"
"Yes!" Although Gu Jiancheng was completely confused at this moment, he was at least certain that the Lord of the Dao Palace was indeed of extraordinary status!
He naturally knew that improving combat strength was an urgent matter, so after turning around and leaving, he led everyone back to the Taiji Sect.
Now, he is heading to the Qiankun Tower. After obtaining all the opportunities and resources he can, he will begin his seclusion again.
The master of that Dao Palace stepped into the central area of the forbidden zone, and with a wave of his hand, countless Dao runes suddenly appeared.
In a flash, he transformed into the appearance of an old Taoist priest.
"Hehe, the ancient battlefield is now only missing the last Xuanyuan Sword!"
"Supreme One, you didn't expect this, did you? You ultimately cannot destroy or sever the Kunlun Realm!"
