Chapter 1042 - The Jade Emperor Treasures Appear, All Forces Making Their Moves, the Whirlwind Sword
“Your Ruler… is quite weak, it seems,” said Chu Kuangren with a chuckle.
The Grand Marshal and others who were already stunned were at a loss for words as they looked at Chu Kuangren with despair.
Chu Kuangren raised his sword and slashed it forward.
In the blink of an eye, the Grand Marshal and others were killed!
The Bronze Heavenly Hall had fallen!
Chu Kuangren reached into the air and gestured for a grab. The ancient talisman that the Bronze Heavenly Hall Ruler used earlier immediately flew into his grasp.
He inspected it further. “Sure enough, this is the Yang Talisman from the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman. With this, both talismans can finally reunite once more.”
Following that, his Immortal Consciousness surged and went on a looting spree throughout Bronze Heavenly Hall.
Most of the items were not that useful to him, but he still kept them. He planned to send the bulk of those items and resources back to Firmament Star to put them to good use.
“I’ll leave the rest to you guys,” said Chu Kuangren to Gu Wuqing and the others.
“Very well.”
The Bronze Heavenly Hall was conquered by Gu Wuqing and the others in no time.
The cultivators who came to watch the battle were utterly dumbfounded.
“Did the Bronze Heavenly Hall get wiped out just like that?”
“Is this Chu Kuangren’s strength? How terrifying!”
After that, the other cultivators left one after another.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren had also started to sort through the loot from raiding Bronze Heavenly Hall. Obviously, the most valuable item he gained was the Yang Talisman.
Unlike the Yin Talisman, which possessed defensive capabilities, the Yang Talisman specialized on the offensive instead.
That talisman was so powerful that the Bronze Heavenly Hall Ruler could unleash a Middle Third-grade Earthen Immortal’s strength despite having just become an Earthen Immortal.
Besides the Yang Talisman, he also found a few Dao Proclamation Seals among the loot.
Whenever an Immortal creates a new Immortal Technique, they would be eligible to obtain a Dao Proclamation Seal. However, most of the Immortals in the Immortal world rarely ever spend the effort to create new techniques, seeing that most of them usually strived to continue the legacy of their predecessors.
Besides, creating new Immortal Techniques was a time-consuming and challenging process. The newly created Immortal Technique might not even be as powerful as the ones passed down from the previous generations.
As such, most Immortals usually chose to learn and cultivate the Immortal Techniques created by their forefathers, and only a rare few would attempt in creating a new Immortal Technique.
People like the latter usually possess great will and grit to succeed, always striving to surpass their forefathers.
The Sword Crown, for instance, was one of those people. He created the Thousand Lotus Sword Intent technique.
Meanwhile, the Immortals living in the universe mostly relied on creating new Immortal Techniques of their own because they were not in the Immortal World, hence the lack of Immortal Techniques being passed down for them to learn.
As a result, most Immortals here would possess one or more Dao Proclamation Seals.
These Dao Proclamation Seals were extremely useful to Chu Kuangren as he could use them to strengthen his Dao Proclamation Self Descendent Sword by absorbing them.
“I shall hand the Yang Talisman to Gu Wuqing. That way, he can unite the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman to locate the whereabouts of the Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure.”
“Meanwhile, I shall merge these Dao Proclamation Seals into my Dao Proclamation Self Descendent Sword. It’s also time I raise my cultivation level,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
He was currently a First-grade Immortal. However, he recently felt that he had accumulated enough resources to ascend to the Second Grade.
At that thought, he left Gu Wuqing in charge of finding the Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure and went into closed-door meditation at Bronze Heavenly Hall.
Gu Wuqing accepted that task at once. After all, with Chu Kuangren having his back, he need not fear anyone in Jade Emperor Galaxy.
…
Several warships arrived at a certain stellar system in the Jade Emperor Galaxy.
It was a barren wasteland void of life.
Although there were planets in the surroundings, there were no signs of life on any of them.
Gu Wuqing walked out of the warship and took out the already united Yin Yang Ancient Talisman. Swirls of light started to appear around the ancient talisman before it trembled as if resonating with something inside the void here.
“Finally, after so many months, I’ve found the spot where the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman has the greatest resonance. The Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure must be hidden within the void here,” Gu Wuqing said happily.
He then tossed the ancient talisman into the air.
The ancient talisman immediately released two intertwining rays of black and white light into the void. Like a huge rock thrown into a lake, great ripples appeared in the void.
An inexplicably mysterious and profound Dao energy fluctuations spread everywhere like a raging tide. The commotion shocked everyone inside the Jade Emperor Galaxy.
All of the great forces and orthodoxies soon reacted to it.
“What a horrifying energy fluctuation containing Yin Yang intent. Could this be the legendary Jade Emperor Immortal?!”
“It’s the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman. It looks like it has reappeared. This means that someone has found the Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure. Could it be the Gu clan’s cultivators?”
“Now that the Gu clan has allied themselves with Chu Kuangren, it seems like the rumors about them having the Yin Talisman are true. Now, with the Yang Talisman from Bronze Heavenly Hall, them reuniting the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman and locating the Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure is no surprise.”
The Jade Emperor Immortal was rumored to be the most powerful Immortal in Jade Emperor Galaxy, and the treasures he left behind had always been the greatest mystery in Jade Emperor Galaxy. Many had attempted to find it all these years, but none were successful.
Now that the Jade Emperor’s treasure had appeared, even those elites who were mostly in hiding or living in seclusion had started to act, much less the great orthodoxies.
All of them soon headed towards the source of that ancient Yin Yang intent.
On an ancient planet somewhere, a white-haired elderly man looked towards the source of the Yin Yang intent, and his eyes lit up with delight. “The Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure, huh? Rumor has it that the Jade Emperor Immortal was a being at the level of a True Immortal. His treasure could perhaps assist me in breaking through to the Earthen Immortal Realm.”
With that, he stood up and dashed towards the source of the Yin Yang intent.
Somewhere else, a Living Planet suddenly exploded.
Just like that, the entire civilization was destroyed. However, amidst the millions of deaths, an elderly man in blood-colored robes and an evil gaze slowly walked away from the explosion.
That elderly man opened his mouth, absorbing the life essences of the millions of living beings that had died in the explosion into his body.
As a tremendous amount of life essence entered his body, his frail and old physique gradually transformed.?His pale face started to have some color, while his dry, cracked skin turned smooth.
Soon, the elderly man turned into a youthful man.
Having absorbed all life from that planet, the blood-robed man looked into the distance and mumbled, “So, the Jade Emperor’s treasure has appeared. Perhaps there are some Immortal Herbs or pills amidst his treasures that can extend my life. I’ll never have to extend my life by absorbing the life essences of others anymore.”
Seeking to live longer and pursue the Dao, the blood-robed man’s eyes lit up with determination.
Somewhere else in space, many sword cultivators were gathered inside a palace, with powerful sword intents emanating from them.
Their leader was a green-robed man.
That person was the Sect Master of Whirlwind Sword Sect, the most well-known Sword Dao orthodoxy in Jade Emperor Galaxy. He was also Zhao Wujing’s elder brother.
There was a rumor that Zhao Wujing’s title as the number one swordsman in Jade Emperor Galaxy was because of his elder brother, who did not wish to fight him for the title and decided to let him have it instead.
However, only those two brothers knew whether the rumor was true.
“My dear brother, I told you that the Bronze Heavenly Hall was not a suitable place for you to stay. Yet, you dismissed my words and joined them to prove that you were stronger than me. Now, your death is in vain.”
“Sigh…”
The Whirlwind Sect Master sighed, and a cold glint shone in his eyes. “I don’t care who you are or where you’re from, Chu Kuangren. But for killing my brother while I was still in closed-door meditation, I shall kindly return that favor to you.”
Then, powerful sword intent emanated from his body.
The surrounding sword cultivators gasped at that sight.
‘This sword intent… Our Sect Master must have ascended into the Earthen Immortal Realm.’
“The Jade Emperor Immortal’s treasure has appeared. We shall head there at once to get it and then go for Chu Kuangren’s head!”
“Roger!”
With the treasure’s appearance, the great orthodoxies and elites in hiding started to make their moves toward the location of the Jade Emperor’s treasures.
Chapter 1043 - The Elites of All Forces Arrive, the Palace’s Seals and Restrictions, Who’s It You’re Taking Revenge On?
Chapter 1043 The Elites of All Forces Arrive, the Palace’s Seals and Restrictions, Who’s It You’re Taking Revenge On?
Somewhere in the vast universe, a magnificent palace appeared out of thin air, with countless Daoist patterns intertwining around it. At the same time, the countless treasures gleamed brilliantly as an incomparably dense Dao energy fluctuation emanated from it. That palace was many times more amazing compared to the Bronze Heavenly Hall.
Standing nearby, Gu Wuqing and the others were incredibly happy to see that palace.
“So that’s the Jade Emperor’s treasures, huh?”
“Look over there! That artificial hill is full of Immortal Herbs.”
“Not only that but look at those two lion statues over there. I can’t believe they are made of Immortal Metal. Wow, this is simply amazing.”
“We’re going to be rich.”
Everyone was delighted.
However, several auras soon appeared at that moment.
Those were the cultivators who were attracted by the Jade Emperor’s treasures. All of them looked at the palace with coveting eyes.
“Are these the treasures left behind by the Jade Emperor Immortal? This aura is truly extraordinary. Haha! These treasures are mine.”
“None of you guys are allowed to take these treasures from me.”
“Oh, it’s the Gu clan’s people… Oh? Chu Kuangren is not here. This is wonderful news. As long as he’s not here, we’ll certainly stand a chance to get it.”
Someone had noticed Gu Wuqing and the others.
They were incredibly frightened at first, but after scanning through the group and realizing that Chu Kuangren was not among them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chu Kuangren were here, ninety-nine percent of the people present would have to give up going after the treasure. Gu Wuqing frowned when he saw that so many people had come.
“It looks like things have gotten a little complicated.”
Although he was sure no one would harm them because of Chu Kuangren’s protection, Gu Wuqing knew that he could not stop those people from getting the treasures as well.
People have always been moved by wealth and riches, which has always been the case since ancient times.
Countless people would risk their lives for the chance of getting those treasures.
“Haha! Those are the Jade Emperor’s treasures, alright. Well, look at all those Immortal herbs! I can surely prolong my lifespan for a few more epochs with these.”
A burst of laughter sounded as a handsome young man in blood-colored robes arrived, and a powerful yet chilling Immortal aura erupted.
Upon seeing him, everyone became wary.
“It’s him, the Bloodstrike Immortal!”
“Rumor has it that this person was once a well-known cultivator for many years. However, he later became severely injured from a fight with his arch-enemy and instantly entered the state of Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five. Seeking to prolong his life, he has cultivated an evil technique that allows him to absorb the life essence of others. Every time he uses that technique, he would have to devour a whole planet, killing millions of lives on average. It’s indeed very terrifying.”
“So he has come too.”
n
“It seems like he’s after the Immortal herbs among the Jade Emperor’s treasures. The treasury of a True Immortal, like the Jade Emperor, surely contains a few Immortal herbs that could prolong the life of an Immortal. If he’s lucky, he might be able to break free from the Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five state as well.”
Everyone was in a heated discussion.
After the Bloodstrike Immortal’s arrival, a white-haired elder appeared from the distance.
That elderly man’s demeanor and poise were unlike the Bloodstrike Immortal, who was emanating a surge of nauseating and evil qi.
“Immortal Hao Feng!”
“Another Immortal whose name was once well known throughout the galaxy has appeared. It looks like the treasures have attracted many elites.”
Besides the elites in hiding, cultivators from various great orthodoxies soon arrived as well.
One of the groups that stood out the most was a bunch of formidable sword cultivators who had powerful sword intent emanating from their bodies. Their leader, a green-robed swordsman, had a far more powerful sword intent compared to Zhao Wujing.
“It’s the Whirlwind Sword Sect!”
“It’s Zhao Wujing’s brother. Based on his sword intent, it seems that the rumors were true. The Whirlwind Sword Sect Master’s Sword Dao prowess is undoubtedly above that of Zhao Wujing.”
“That aura of his is as strong as the Bronze Heavenly Hall Ruler… No, it might even be more powerful than the latter. What? An Earthen Immortal!”
Many were shocked by the arrival of the Whirlwind Sword Sect, especially the Whirlwind Sect Master, whose sword intent was so powerful that many reckoned that he was already at the Earthen Immortal Realm.
“Are you people from the Gu clan?”
At that moment, the Whirlwind Sect Master looked at Gu Wuqing and the others and asked.
“So what if we are?” There was a hint of cautiousness in Gu Wuqing’s eyes.
He could sense the Whirlwind Sect Master’s hostility. Even Gu Xing, the Fox Tribe Forefather, and Hu Sanniang had put up their guards.
“Since the Gu clan has submitted to Chu Kuangren, they shall all die,” the Whirlwind Sect Master said.
Then, he attacked Gu Wuqing and the others with his sword.
A surge of sword qi burst through the void. It was so powerful that even an Immortal like the Fox Tribe Forefather felt overwhelmed by it, and his eyes widened in fear.
Just then, Gu Wuqing stepped forth and took out the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman.
The ancient talisman started brimming with light as the Yin Talisman’s effects were activated. A runic light barrier soon appeared and shielded them from the attack.
Boom!
As soon as the sword qi landed on the runic light barrier, ripples began to spread on it.
“Oh, so this is the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman that the Jade Emperor Immortal left behind? It’s truly extraordinary,” the Whirlwind Sect Master said.
He turned silent for a while and stopped attacking before he looked toward that palace. “Once I’ve obtained the treasures inside, I shall come for your lives next.”
Everyone else also began to make their moves.
They charged towards the palace but soon found the palace’s restrictions and seals blocking their path, so none of them could enter.
With the treasures right before their very eyes, they could not give up.
Everyone started attacking the seals and restrictions by unleashing one after another Immortal technique. However, despite how much they attacked it, the seals and restrictions did not break.
“D*mn it.”
“D*mn it. The Immortal Herbs are right in front of me. I won’t allow myself to be stopped here!” The Bloodstrike Immortal was incredibly enraged.
He unleashed a palm attack, whose blood-colored energy crashed forward like a raging tide.
However, his efforts were still futile.
The Whirlwind Sect Master attacked right after that.
He struck out with his sword, sending out a dazzling sword ray towards the seals. A loud boom erupted the moment his attack landed on it.
Everyone quickly looked over with hope.
Nevertheless, the seals still remained intact after the sword qi dispersed.
“How is this possible? Even the Whirlwind Sect Master has no way to break it?”
Everyone was disappointed.
Following that, the Bloodstrike Immortal seemed to have recalled something. He looked at Gu Wuqing and said coldly, “The treasures here were left behind by the Jade Emperor Immortal, and the same thing could be said for the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman. Rumors have it that only the one who has the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman shall be granted access to the treasures. In other words, only the person that has the ancient talisman can enter!”
Everyone thought that his words made a lot of sense too.
However, Gu Wuqing and the others could not help but gulp with fear when they noticed the malicious gazes around them. They suddenly felt a bad premonition.
“Hand me the Yin Yang Ancient Talisman!”
The Bloodstrike Immortal was the first to attack.
His Immortal’s Core energy turned into a huge blood-colored palm that immediately reached forth, grabbed, and landed on the runic light barrier.
“I initially wanted to get those treasures before dealing with you guys. However, it looks like there’s a change of plans,” the Whirlwind Sect Master sneered before he attacked.
A sword ray shot out, causing the runic light barrier to tremble non-stop.
Inside the runic light barrier, the Fox Tribe Forefather, Hu Sanniang, Gu Xing, and others looked at each other with determination.
“Wuqing, this runic light barrier isn’t going to hold much longer. We’ll buy you some time for you to rush into the palace. Once you’re inside, you’ll be safe with the seals and restrictions protecting you,” Gu Xing said.
With that, Gu Xing rushed out with the Fox Tribe Forefather. With his Immortal’s Core energy channeled, he aimed it towards the Whirlwind Sect Master.
“You think too highly of your strength!” The Whirlwind Sect Master snickered and then unleashed a sword ray at the two, which heavily wounded them.
Both of them were shocked by his power.
“You have broken through to an Earthen Immortal!”
“Hmph! Today, I’ll kill you guys, go get the treasure inside, and then take my revenge on Chu Kuangren for my brother’s death!” the Whirlwind Sect Master said with a cold snort.
That was when the void suddenly shook, and the surrounding planets trembled. An apathetic voice suddenly sounded. “Who is it you’re taking revenge on?”
