Chapter 846: The Thief Emperor’s Son Appears!
Chapter 846: Chapter 846: The Thief Emperor’s Son Appears! After a cycle of advancement and improvement, the path of formations and chess is still evolving, but it has almost become a fixed model.
It’s like a tree that has lived for a long time; the trunk has already formed, and what grows now are merely branches and leaves.
Whether spring departs or winter arrives, the roots remain embedded in the soil, and what changes are the branches and leaves that blossom or wither with the seasons.
But the Star Origin Sect is different; it has taken an unusual path, choosing a cultivation road completely distinct from the existing paths of chess and formations.
It seems like an exception, but it is not really so.
The Immortal Domain
should allow a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred rivers to converge.
No one ever stipulated that chess and formation cultivators must become part of a tree that has been refined to perfection without flaw.
I do not like this tree.
Then I will plant a tree of my own.
It’s a pity that the Star Origin Sect’s ancestor, the genius of formations who astonished the entire Immortal Domain, left too early.
He was unable to propagate the teachings of the Star Origin Sect widely, nor could he protect the second small sapling of the paths of chess and formations to grow into a towering tree.
Yet Baize can understand.
Looking back over the past ninety-nine eras of the Immortal Domain, only this one genius from the Star Origin Sect appeared.
And now.
Ruan Lan is the second one.
A remarkable woman capable of perfectly inheriting the legacy of the Star Origin Sect.
A while ago, Baize’s visit to Earth was highly rewarding, and Ruan Lan, who spoke grandly about the future of the Star Origin Sect, did not know.
Ruan Lan herself is truly the future of the Star Origin Sect.
In the same Immortal Domain.
Two beings of different races.
Spanning across dozens of eras, they nurture the same seedling together.
Fate.
How wondrous it is.
...
...
Sikong Jiu still does not understand how Ruan Lan managed to break the formation.
The formation was not broken by Ruan Lan naturally.
It was Baize who took action, using a method proposed by Ruan Lan’s unique understanding of formations.
Of course.
Baize did not explain these things to Sikong Jiu in detail; some matters cannot be spoken aloud.
This is a little secret between her and Ruan Lan.
"Really looking forward to the next trip to Earth." Baize’s eyes gleamed.
"..."
Sikong Jiu was left in the dark.
He vaguely felt that the second Divine General of the Heavenly Court was not anticipating going to Earth because of The Supreme Emperor or the Mistress of the Heavenly Court, nor because of Xu Yiyi and Xu Pingan.
But for Ruan Lan!
"Could it be... this is a stock with potential?"
Sikong Jiu pondered, considering whether he should bring some small gifts for Fairy Ruan the next time he visits Haitang Court.
A potential stock must be won over in advance!
Who knows if she might enter the Dao Endowment and slumber, and perhaps become an emperor in some later era.
Looking around, there are no old friends.
The Immortal Domain is still the same Immortal Domain as before, but new faces have replaced the old ones time after time, leaving Ruan Lan with a sense of loneliness she cannot express.
At this moment, Sikong Jiu would ’pop’ out.
Say a word.
Long time no see.
Just imagining this moved Sikong Jiu to the point where tears nearly fell from his eyes.
"Please, fellow Daoist, do not stand beside me while letting your thoughts fly." Baize, the Divine General, said seriously.
"Uh?"
Sikong Jiu was startled, suddenly remembering that Baize possesses a pair of eyes that can see through all illusions, and hurriedly flickered a thousand feet away.
"Divine General Baize, I take my leave!"
Sikong Jiu cupped his hands, muttering quietly at the same time, "The Heavenly Court should only be eyeing the treasure houses of the Seventeen Holy Lands, surely they won’t even let the graves go? That would be inhumane!"
So...
Sikong Jiu did not join the battle but instead secretly went to dig graves.
Baize tilted her head.
Staring at the spot where Sikong Jiu disappeared, dazed for quite a while.
She was somewhat doubting if Sikong Jiu really was Jiu Kongsi the Great Emperor of the First Era?
In the Emperor Realm.
None are not above others.
A Great Emperor like The Supreme Emperor is completely an exception, and Sikong Jiu seems like a case of no predecessor and no follower.
The battle against the Seventeen Holy Lands lasted for a full three months.
After all, being Holy Lands, like centipedes, they do not die easily, requiring complete eradication.
The cleanup of the remnant forces in the Four Immortal Domains wasted a lot of time, which required a very strong intelligence system.
Thankfully, the Heavenly Court has as many as ten Divine Generals specifically responsible for this aspect.
Xu Lai, who personally led the expedition, did not sneak away early, but fought together with the warriors of the Heavenly Court to the last moment.
When the war was completely over.
Xu Lai confidently said, "Return to the Heavenly Court!"
"Return to the Heavenly Court!"
"Return to the Heavenly Court!"
"Return to the Heavenly Court!"
On this day, violent and bloody shouts echoed throughout the Immortal Domain, causing all major powers to tremble.
After today.
No Holy Land would dare thoughtlessly provoke the Heavenly Court.
Because once a Holy Land is destroyed, the outcome would be too tragic.
Sixteen out of the seventeen Holy Lands were exterminated, with only the Fengyue Pavilion barely surviving, rumored to be spared due to the plea of an elder from the Immortal Domain to The Supreme Emperor.
But the ancestral lands and ancestral shrines of all seventeen Holy Lands were thoroughly ransacked.
Needless to mention the remains in the tombs, not even a stone or a blade of wild grass was left.
So clean that one might suspect whether they had been swept over by the notorious demonic locust tribe of the Immortal Domain...
The matter.
Definitely wasn’t done by the Heavenly Court.
Other Holy Lands all knew with The Supreme Emperor’s character, it couldn’t have been done, nor would it be allowed underlings to commit such heinous acts.
But whoever did such a thing right under the Heavenly Court’s nose mustn’t have a low boundary either.
The Immortal Domain was in a state of panic, worried their own powers might become the next target.
Losing the burial items in the tomb is a small matter, but losing the ancestors’ remains means no longer being able to mention your forebears.
Shame on the ancestors!!!
At this time, a guy claiming to be a descendant of the Great Emperor Tun Tian declared the Earthstore Tribe responsible for this.
In an instant.
The Earthstore Tribe went mad with rage from top to bottom.
Great Emperor Tun Tian was indeed from the Earthstore Tribe, but how could they not know of their own emperor having descendants?
Let alone descendants, Great Emperor Tun Tian never even had a beloved companion, his whole life was obsessed with cultivation.
This fictitious descendant of the Great Emperor Tun Tian was clearly trying to make the Earthstore Tribe take the fall!
The Earthstore Tribe frantically explained to the outside that the matter had nothing to do with them, but... no one in the Immortal Domain believed it.
After all, the Earthstore Tribe has a history.
Back then, Great Emperor Tun Tian opened the path to a cheat-filled life by using his tribe to dig up over seven hundred thousand graves in the Immortal Domain.
"The Thief Emperor’s son has appeared!"
"Damn Earthstore Tribe, do they really plan to leave the Immortal Domain without graves or ancestors?"
"Shut up! This matter has nothing to do with my Earthstore Tribe, it’s purely a despicable slander, don’t any of you have brains?"
"..."
The Immortal Domain was in an uproar.
Some Holy Lands knew it wasn’t the doing of the Earthstore Tribe, but it didn’t stop them from taking the opportunity to hurl dirt, after all, in those days...
Their own Holy Lands had indeed been visited by the Thief Emperor.
...
Earth.
East Sea City, Hua Country.
Xu Lai stood on a cloud, looking at Sikong Jiu before him, smiled and said, "The Thief Emperor’s son is you, isn’t it?"
"The Supreme Emperor, how can you falsely accuse an innocent man!"
Sikong Jiu, tearful-eyed, exclaimed, "Who in the Immortal Domain doesn’t know of Sikong Jiu’s adherence to principles, as a paragon of Heavenly Dao’s justice? How could I commit such vile acts?"
"Yes, Divine General Baize might have overheard my monologue, but..."
As Sikong Jiu began to ramble, Xu Lai extended three fingers, "You and I both know who the Thief Emperor’s son is, I want sixty percent."
"???
Sikong Jiu was flustered, "Sixty percent is too much, at most ten percent!"
